Pat Miller
I can honestly say the service was beyond 5 stars in every way.
I am delighted with the installation of the boiler in the loft, and the NEST system is an extra bonus.Leigh and Luke were just fantastic. The staff worked hard, they were professional and conscientious in everything they did, and were a real credit to the company. With a bit of singing thrown in for free I might add!I will certainly be leaving five star reviews.

Succeeded where others had failed completely. Very relieved that the excellent DCR engineer checked my oil tank and completed tests on my boiler and identified the various problems that needed to be rectified.

Fantastic! DCR have supplied and fitted our Solar PV panels.
Fantastic! DCR have supplied and fitted our Solar PV panels. They work swiftly and to a very high standard. We were kept informed of progress along the way and DCR made applying for our Feed-In-Tariff so easy with the knowledge of the procedures involved. With the cost of our panels very reasonable and the reduction in bills and payments due from FiT payments we cannot praise DCR Electrical enough for the great Solar PV set up we have. We have already seen huge reductions in our energy bills.

I needed some electrical work doing quite urgently before the sale of my house and DCR Electrical were the only company in Newark that responded swiftly to my initial enquiry and were able to carry out the work within a reasonable time frame.

I just wanted to write and say how very impressed I have been.
Hi Tony,
I just wanted to write and say how very impressed I have been with the team that are working at our house this week. I was dreading coming home after today as they have chased into the bedroom walls and I was expecting to find quite a mess.
I popped home this afternoon and witnessed the electricians both on their knees hoovering the bedroom floor and on my return this evening the bedroom is far better than I expected it could be.
Credit where it's due the men have been a credit to your company this week and I just wanted you to know how grateful I am for their hard work.
Everyone has been so helpful and efficient!
I always think that good feedback never goes amiss.
I want to say 'thank you' to you and your team for all your help recently at our properties.
It has been much appreciated and everyone has been so helpful and efficient.
I will no doubt be in touch again soon as I continue my emergency light testing.
In the meantime hope you get lots of outside jobs to enjoy the weather.
I can honestly say the service was beyond 5 stars in every way.

Very professional and reliable service!
DCR Electrical provide a very professional and reliable service. Unlike many tradesmen, they always turn up on time and when they say they will and all their work is carried out in a professional manner.
They fit my Solar PV system last year and it works perfectly.
Gone over and above to make sure I am happy customer!
Used DCR for domestic electrical & plumbing for a kitchen renovation.
All the lads polite and professional. Would highly recommend, a particular mention to Tony Maidlow who has gone over and above to make sure I am happy customer!
First class service all round.
I have just had my annual boiler service last Monday by DCR Heating Services at Newark (9 miles away).
The engineer arrived on time, he stripped the combi boiler down more than any other service engineer has in the past, he took about 75 min to clean and test and then gave me a written report, that then was followed up with a recommendation report from the office.
The performance of the boiler has been noticeable since Monday, I feel now that the previous services have been a waste of time and I would like to think I could have these people in future.
First class service all round.
Excellent pricing.
Top class job by a friendly and knowledgeable engineer. Excellent pricing too. The best by far.
First class service all round.
DCR surpassed my expectations.
DCR surpassed my expectations from initial consultation through to delivery and service – great set of guys friendly and made sure the job was done to highest standard possible – the job I'm left with is amazing real professional work – really happy highly recommend Lewis and the team.
Huge Thank you to Lewis, Lee, Luke and all the team

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Great work by Dan and his team, very informative and helpful throughout. Will be our first port of call with further work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thanks.
Top rate service!
Top rate service, engineers very knowledgeable, thorough, very helpful and friendly.
They also had the tough job of first finding then repairing all the mistakes British Gas engineers had previously made under the homecare service.
Including a central heating pump that had been fitted backwards by British Gas!! I would highly recommend!!
Genuinely, thanks Dan and your team in providing the lost art of total customer satisfaction!
Dan and his team have been superb in installing our solar panels and the associated equipment. I recently received support from him references a minor issue which was dealt with within 3 days by 2 of his electricians whom obviously operated with the same customer focused ethos.
I would highly recommended Dan and his team for solar panels through personal experience and can confidently predict they would apply thee same care and professionalism across all of the ranges of services they now provide.

Exceptional service we have received from your company
We would like to say thank you for the exceptional service we have received from your company.
Our heating gave out 24hrs ago and we were unable to contact our usual engineer which left us in a very cold and miserable situation.
We telephoned your office this morning at approx 9.30hrs and were told an engineer would be with us sometime this afternoon.
At 12.50 Luke arrived, fixed the problem and was gone by 13.50.
Our entire experience of DCR has been positive and not only will we be using your services in the future we will be recommending our friends and family to you.
Thank you for saving us from a cold home in one of the coldest weeks of the year, great service.

Lewis visited my property to access my requirements and it was clearly apparent that his level of knowledge and expertise was impressive along with his detailed explanation of why his recommendations would fully meet my requirements.
The quote was comprehensive and competitive and I was happy to accept.
Lewis's team of installers were always punctual, reliable, knowledgeable and skilful and completed their tasks to a very high standard, leaving only when the objectives for the day had been met.
It was very apparent, throughout the installation that consumer satisfaction was very much at the heart of DCR's ethos.
Matt, who was responsible for the main installation was exemplary.
The whole process went seamlessly and we now have a system that operates superbly.
The other reviews relating to DCR Newark are clearly representative of this company's work and reputation.

Brent Musburger did it again, said sideline reporter was 'really smokin' tonight'
If you figured Brent Musburger would ignore the Katherine Webb controversy in his return to the broadcast booth, think again.
The ESPN announcer was calling his first game since making headlines during last week's BCS national title game for ogling Webb, the girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron. He made it through almost all of Monday's Kansas basketball victory over Baylor without referencing the incident or alluding to his network's apology for the comments.
MORE::ESPN rejects Musburger in another flap
READ:Katherine Webb becomes star of title game
Then, as he launched into his usual sign-off, Musburger dropped an unexpected, jaw-dropping line.
"Once again, your final score, Kansas 61, Baylor 44," Musburger said in the manner he has hundreds of times before. "Coming up next, SportsCenter. For Fran Franschilla and Holly Rowe, who was really smokin' tonight, I want to say 'so long from Lawrence.'"
There was extra emphasis on the "really smoking," like he wanted to make sure you heard him.
Oh, we heard you and our jaws hit the floor.
There's a small chance it was a coincidental, unfortunate word choice. Small, but unlikely. Probably, it was a caustic dig at the controversy and/or the ESPN executives who decided an apology was needed.
Assuming Rowe was keen to the gag, I think it's hilarious. The whole Webb thing was so overblown. (I should know; I was part of the group overblowing it.) Both she and her father told ESPN and the media to go easy on ol' Brent. He wasn't nearly the creepy old man he was made out to be, just an announcer who didn't know when to stop talking.
READ:ESPN apologizes for Musburger remark
Subtly referencing the Webb comments with a sly wink at the end of his next broadcast is brilliant. Please don't be so PC that you can't find the humor in that.
There's only one cause for concern: If Rowe was an unknowing pawn in Musburger's late-game compliment, I'd be less supportive of him. I doubt Musburger meant the "smokin'" comment as anything but a reference to the Webb thing, but the fact that some could believe he was complimenting or digging his excellent sideline reporter would be unfair to her. She shouldn't be dragged into this unless she knew it was coming. (Maybe it's an inside joke, or something.)
Whatever happened, you are looking live at an audacious 73-year-old who doesn't seem to care what anyone think about his in-game comments. Unfortunately, he may soon find out what his bosses think about that.
UPDATE:ESPN says Musburger said "it was really smokin' tonight." What was really smokin? The 61-44 game?

Hi All,
I'm in this forum cause I love my blackberries, been through a few now, currently happy with the Bold 9650. Maybe I should have got a 9700, but everyone else has one so i had to be different.
Sometimes I think it must download the elements again as i know Vodafone AU has very poor data throughput, but in most cases i'm pretty sure the page elements are cached in memory and the BB CPU just can't handle re-rendering the new section of the page. I get frustrated after about 60 seconds of waiting... then if I move the cursor again, the wait starts again. I have no idea if there's something I should tweak!?! I can take a 20 minute ride on the bus to work and not manage to view even one news article.
The browser is absolutely appalling and basically unusable on my 9500 OS4, 9630 OS5 and 9650 OS6. I am happy to live with it given what a great and reliable communications device it is...
Apple are blitzing the performance. They seem to render the entire web page and when you scroll you just move over a fully rendered web page that you can zoom in and out of. its like a graphics function only and doesn't seem to kill the CPU. Android re-render the page, but seem to have everything very well cached and ready to place back on the page as you scroll around and zoom in and out.
Why do blackberry continue to make the browser so clunky? Does anyone agree with the experience? Why are there no complaints?
So they're advertising the PlayPad as being a faster browser than the iPAD. I thought that highly suprising until I realised its a compltely different OS on the PlayPad...

• Machiavellian •Pronunciation: mah-kee-ê-vel-i-ên • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Using unscrupulous and exploitive means to achieve and justify an end.
Notes: It is easy to drop one of the two back-to-back vowels in the syllable sequence [kee-ê], underlined in the Pronunciation. Be careful not to reduce this sequence to a simple [kê]. When we allow nothing to stand in the way of achieving our goal, we become Machiavellianists because of our Machiavellianism. If you need to drop a syllable in these words, you may: Machiavellist and Machiavellism work just as well. Even though this word has clearly become a common adjective, we continue to capitalize it since most of those who use it know its eponym.
In Play: The smile of Machiavelli (see the picture here: http://www.alphadictionary.com/images/machiavelli.gif) today lingers over more corporate board rooms than monarchic thrones: "The Machiavellian tactics of Burnham Goode took him to the top of the company, but they created so many enemies in his wake that his tenure in office was short." You will, though, meet Machiavellian folks in all walks of life: "Melvin resorted to several Machiavellian means of getting into Atlanta Braves games, including picking the pockets of legitimate ticket-holders."
Word History: Today's Good Word is based on the surname of Niccolò di Bernardo Machiavelli (1469-1527), an Italian political philosopher who argued for expediency above morality. In his book, The Prince (1515), a handbook for political leaders of his time, Machiavelli argued that a good prince does not wince at resorting to cruelty or even to war if he deems it necessary. He asserted that morality must bend when in conflict with political goals and, in fact, showed how religion may be used to cloak questionable policies. Many of his principles still appear in textbooks on leadership and have been widely applied outside the political arena. (Great thanks to our favorite Florida photographer, Suzanne Williams, who didn't have to resort to any Machiavellian measures in suggesting today's Good Word.)

With New York's Taxi of Tomorrow now being called the Taxi of Today because there are taxis on the streets today that used to be called the "taxi of tomorrow" but today is a day in which we have those taxis, it got me thinking. I'm sure the Taxi of Tomorrow is okay, but where does it rank with the greatest in the world?
The standard by which all other cabs are measured is the London Taxi. Now using a chassis known as the "TX4," the very shape of the car is as iconic and synonymous with London as Tower Bridge itself. Designed to be a taximeter cabriolet from the ground up, it has everything a Londoner would need. And that includes a turning circle tight enough to make the roundabout in front of the Savoy Hotel.
Maybe the London cab isn't the best cab though. Show us the best cabs ever made in the comments below!

Maurice Fréchet's parents were Jacques and Zoé Fréchet. It was a Protestant family and at the time Maurice was born his father was the director of a Protestant orphanage in Maligny. There were six children in the family, Maurice being the fourth. While he was still a very young child, his father Jacques Fréchet was appointed as head of a Protestant school in Paris and the family moved there with high expectations of a good future. However, political decisions were to severely damage the comfortable life of the Fréchet family.
Before Maurice was born the constitution of the Third Republic had been drawn up. Although the Republicans were divided into two wings, these were united on their attitude to the church's role in politics and education. One of the leaders Jules Ferry held major positions of power during 1880-85 and he brought in new laws to make primary education free, compulsory, and secular. Religious teaching in schools was replaced by "civic education" and from this time on French education was secularised. Jacques Fréchet lost his job as headmaster and was unemployed. Maurice's mother came to the financial rescue of the family by setting up a boarding house for foreigners. This had the benefit that Maurice grew up surrounded by those speaking foreign languages and he developed an international outlook which was to remain with him throughout his life. After the French education system settled down from the impact of the legal restraints put upon it, Jacques Fréchet was able to find a job teaching within the new secular system. It meant that the family never enjoyed the standards they might otherwise have expected, but nevertheless they did return to a stable financial situation.
Maurice entered secondary education at the Lycée Buffon in Paris. There he was taught mathematics by Hadamard who was a teacher at the school from 1890 to 1893 before being appointed professor at the University of Bordeaux in 1894. Hadamard immediately saw the mathematical potential of his young pupil and coached him on an individual basis. This continued after Hadamard moved to Bordeaux, for he wrote to Fréchet setting him mathematical problems, and corrected his work with severe criticisms if there were any errors. The relationship was one in which Fréchet was extremely grateful for the encouragement and guidance that he was receiving, but he admitted much later that he lived in continual fear of not being able to solve the problems he was set.
After leaving school, Fréchet undertook military service before, in 1900, entering the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. There he still worried over the decision on whether to specialise in physics or mathematics, and was eventually persuaded to specialise in mathematics, not because he did not enjoy physics just as much, but rather because further study of physics required him to take chemistry courses which he disliked. Even before he was awarded his Agrégation des Sciences Mathematiques in 1903, Fréchet began publishing short papers. By the end of 1903 he had four papers in print, three of which were four pages long. Seven further papers appeared in 1904, then remarkably eleven papers in 1905 as he undertook research for his doctorate under Hadamard's supervision. Contact with several American mathematicians who were in Paris, in particular Edwin Wilson, led to Fréchet publishing some of his early papers in American Mathematical Society publications (Edwin Wilson was editor of the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society from 1903). Another task undertaken by Fréchet around this time was writing up Borel's lectures for publication. Fréchet attended these lectures while an undergraduate and wrote up the lectures during the winter of 1903-04. The book Leçons sur les fonctions de variables réelles et les développements en séries de polynômes Ⓣ was published in 1905.
Fréchet wrote an outstanding doctoral dissertation Sur quelques points du calcul fonctionnel Ⓣ submitted on 2 April 1906. In it he introduced the concept of a metric space, although he did not invent the name 'metric space' which is due to Hausdorff. The thesis concerns 'functional operations' and 'functional calculus' and is developed from ideas due to Hadamard and Volterra. The importance of the thesis is that it develops axiomatic analysis systems providing an abstraction of different objects studied by analysis in a similar way to group theory providing an abstraction of algebraic systems. This parallel is drawn by Fréchet himself who requires sufficient structure on his abstract systems so that limits and continuity can be studied. He defines a functional operation as a numerically valued function defined on arbitrary objects which he wants to include points, lines, functions, numbers, surfaces etc. The functional calculus of his thesis is then the systematic study of functional operations.
A versatile mathematician, Fréchet served as professor of mathematics at the Lycée in Besançon (1907-08), professor of mathematics at the Lycée in Nantes (1908-09), then professor of mechanics at the Faculty of Science in Poitiers (1910-19). He married Suzanne Carrive in 1908 and they had four children; Hélène, Henri, Denise, and Alain. Fréchet had arranged to spend the academic year 1914-15 at the University of Illinois at Urbana in the United States and had accepted an appointment there for one year. He and his family were packed and ready to travel to the port to board their ship for the United States when World War I broke out and Fréchet was required for military service.
He was mobilised on 4 August 1914 but because of his language skills, initially gained when his mother ran the establishment of foreigners, he was attached to the British Army as an interpreter. This may have resulted in a slightly safer job than he would otherwise have had, but nevertheless he spent about two and a half years at or near the front, so was fortunate to survive. A great many French academics perished during the war, for the French belief in equality meant they tended to fight in the trenches rather than undertake specialised war work for which their expertise made them especially useful. In fact there is evidence that Fréchet had arranged with some American mathematicians to publish his complete works if he did not survive the war. That he chose to negotiate with Americans is almost certainly a sign that he felt more appreciated in that country than in his own. Not only did he undertake this dangerous work during the war, but Fréchet continued to produce frequent mathematics papers. One can only marvel at how he was able to continue with cutting edge research in such circumstances and with so little time to devote to his mathematics.
For the period of the war Fréchet retained his post at the Faculty of Science in Poitiers despite not being able to teach there. However before he was released from military service at the end of the war, he was selected to go to Strasbourg to assist with re-establishing the university there. He was both professor of higher analysis at the University of Strasbourg and Director of the Mathematics Institute there from 1919 to 1927. As he had been in earlier times, Fréchet was able to continue to produce a large research output despite heavy duties. He now had major administrative duties, one of the first being setting up and organising the International Congress of Mathematicians in Strasbourg in 1920. This was a difficult Congress for political reasons, since German and Austrian mathematicians were banned but this resulted in strong opinions and numerous arguments. An indication of his remarkable research output is that he had 36 papers published in the two years 1924 and 1925. It was after going to Strasbourg that he began to become interested in statistics but he only published a small number of articles on probability at this stage, most of his papers being on general analysis and topology. However, he taught courses on probability, statistics, and insurance mathematics at Strasbourg.
From November 1928 Fréchet held posts in Paris, but from this time on he concentrated more on statistics. It was Borel who encouraged Fréchet to seek positions in Paris and he supported his candidacy. There is also a suggestion that Fréchet had a difference of opinion with the Council of the Faculty of Science at Strasbourg which meant he was both pleased to return to Paris and not unhappy at leaving Strasbourg. He held several different positions in the field of mathematics in Paris between 1928 and 1948 when he retired. He was director of studies at the École des Hautes-Études, then professor at the Faculty of Science in Paris. From 1929 he was also professor of analysis and mechanics at the École Normale Supérieure. In [6] Armatte examines in detail the:-
... campaign [Fréchet] sustained from 1934 to 1936 at the International Institute of Statistics against improper uses of the correlation coefficient. This campaign took the unusual form of a survey sent to colleagues all over the world as well as a series of papers, committee reports, and censure motions within the International Institute of Statistics. It sheds light on the difficulties of giving a mathematically sound foundation to one of the most elementary notions of mathematical statistics, at the key moment when it was developing into an autonomous scientific discipline. Moreover, correlation is a notion largely used as an instrument of proof in several domains of observational sciences. Maurice Fréchet did not disdain contributing his own stone to the building of these mathematical foundations via his work on the notion of distance. And, because he respected applied mathematics, he used the same surveying technique - and with the same pugnacity - to examine the consistency and relevance of other statistical methods, like the estimation of the parameters of a theoretical distribution and the application of mathematics to economic and social questions.In January and February of 1942 Fréchet was lecturing in Portugal. He lectured in Lisbon on: Les fonctions périodiques, les fonctions presque périodiques et les fonctions assymptotiquement presque périodiques; Applications des fonctions assymptotiquement presque périodiques au théorème ergodique de Birkhoff; Les débuts de la topologie combinatoire; le théorème d'Euler-Cauchy; La théorie des courbes dans les espaces abstraits très généraux; Types homogènes de dimensions Ⓣ; and Le développement d'une fonction continue en série de polynômes dans les espaces abstraits Ⓣ. In addition he gave a lecture aimed at the general public on Les origines des notions mathématiques Ⓣ.
The Portuguese Mathematical Society made Fréchet an honorary member and recognised four major achievements:
- The deep influence exerted by the ideas of Maurice Fréchet in contemporary mathematics.
- That the creation of a theory of abstract spaces, by this illustrious mathematician, at the beginning of the century, was the necessary starting point for the development of numerous mathematical theories which flourish today.
- That the abstract theories of which Maurice Fréchet was one of the first pioneers, have allowed a major work of synthesis and clarification in the mathematical sciences to be carried out through the last thirty years.
- That the workmanship which Maurice Fréchet carried out in the most varied fields of the pure and applied mathematics is a monument to the glory of the constructive spirit of the Man.
Fréchet's most important work includes:
1. Les Espaces abstrait Ⓣ (1928), in which he:-Finally let us mention that Fréchet was an extremely active correspondent with most of the leading mathematicians of his day. Let us record just a few of the names: Pavel Sergeevich Aleksandrov, René-Louis Baire, L E J Brouwer, Béla Kerékjártó, Kazimierz Kuratowski, Henri Lebesgue, Paul Lévy, Nikolai Nikolaevich Luzin, P Mahlo, Paul Montel, Frigyes Riesz, Wacław Sierpiński, Pavel Samuilovich Urysohn, Edwin Wilson, and Stanisław Zaremba. As an example of one of these correspondences we refer to [4] which is described by Esther R Phillips as follows:-
3. (with Ky Fan) Introduction à la Topologie Combinatoire Ⓣ (1946), about which Eilenberg writes:-
... made a major contribution toward laying the foundations of general topology and abstract analysis.2. Récherchés théoretiques modernes sur la théorie des probabilités Ⓣ (1937-38).
3. (with Ky Fan) Introduction à la Topologie Combinatoire Ⓣ (1946), about which Eilenberg writes:-
Entertaining reading about combinatorial topology accessible to a reader with very little mathematical preparation. The topics discussed are: the Jordan curve theorem, the map colouring problem, the Euler characteristic and the classification of surfaces. The proofs are very intuitive and are not intended to be complete. Many historical remarks are included.4. Pages choisies d'analyse générale Ⓣ (1953), which:-
... contains selections by [Fréchet] from his papers on general analysis. He has also supplemented the original papers with short remarks on later developments connected with the ideas in them, answers to conjectures, etc. The papers are grouped under the following headings: Vue d'ensemble; Espaces fonctionnels; Analyse fonctionnelle; Les espaces abstraits; L'analyse générale Ⓣ.5. Les Mathématiques et le concret Ⓣ (1955),
This is a collection of a number of papers by Fréchet grouped under the general headings: Sur les mathématiques en général; Sur le calcul des probabilités et ses applications; Les mathématiciens et la vie. Deux examples. Papers have been selected for their general interest and readability by non-mathematicians.
Maurice Fréchet, according to the author, corresponded with virtually every mathematician of this century. His prodigious correspondence, preserved in the Archive of the Paris Academy of Sciences, sheds light on the genesis and evolution of a broad body of contemporary mathematics. Among Fréchet's manuscripts are forty-eight letters of which seven were written by P S Aleksandrov and P S Urysohn and the remainder (after Urysohn's death in 1924) by Aleksandrov. Of particular interest in connection with the development of topology are the letters written between 1920 and the 1930s. In the earliest of these letters the young Russian scholars express their gratitude to Fréchet for having created the theory of abstract spaces on which their earliest investigations were based and cite as the source of their first published works problems posed by N Luzin in his analysis seminar at Moscow University. The letters reveal that after Urysohn's death, Aleksandrov's investigations moved away from the "classification of topological spaces" and became increasingly algebraic [combinatorial], culminating in his simplicial theory of homology.
Although widely honoured, it does appear that Fréchet was more highly rated outside France than inside it. He was invited to address the International Congress of Mathematicians in Bologna in 1928 and in Oslo in 1932. He was elected to the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1929 and the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1947. He was also a member of the International Institute of Statistics. He lost out many times in elections to the Academy of Sciences, eventually being elected in 1956 when he was 78 years old.

How to begin? Over the past day or so, across the globe, across all sections of all kinds of societies, the voice of individual after individual has paid testimony to the profound significance of Nelson Mandela's life, and death. Crowds have gathered to sing and dance and celebrate, emulating in their actions the idea of solidarity and shared humanity that his life came to symbolise. I wonder if there is any more I can add to the general outpouring of goodwill of a scale and breadth that it is impossible to imagine any other political figure inspiring.
The death of Margaret Thatcher earlier this year prompted an immediate blogpost on my part. With no time to think it came out as an emotive stream of consciousness – it was easier to write. This time, life and work has forced a delayed response, and that delay seems to demand a thoughtful, considered approach that I don't quite know how to achieve. Conjuring Thatcher, of course, is not just about her also having died this year, and it is not just about her also having been a towering political figure of our historical moment, and it's not just about her having dismissed the ANC as a terrorist organisation and having opposed sanctions as a crime against free trade. And it's not just that the absence of human empathy, which places those Thatcherite ideals of personal wealth accumulation and economic liberalism above all else, is in such stark contrast to the quite extraordinary ideals of truth, reconciliation and bipartisanship which led South Africa's peaceful transition from apartheid to democracy. For people like me, figures like Mandela and Thatcher, and the events and moments connected with them, have somehow and somewhere along the way coalesced in our brains or our memories to forge and shape our characters, our attitudes, our belief systems, our moral compasses.
What I want to say is that for me Mandela symbolises the idea that there are some things which are so straightforwardly abhorrent that the only possible human response is to resist them. When it came to the South Africa which existed at the time I was becoming politically aware these things were not difficult to recognise – apartheid was so obviously a moral fucking outrage. It had its fair share of apologists and, of course, there were those who were happy to turn a blind eye to its atrocities in the name of making a quick buck – do we all recall Status Quo and Queen playing Sun City, Barclays Bank's infamous investments, or indeed those of our late Prime Minister's late husband Dennis Thatcher? But for many of us, it was clear that feigned ignorance was no possible response. We weren't in South Africa, we weren't facing the relentless daily degradation of apartheid. We were on the other side of the world, but their struggle felt like our struggle (I guess that's what empathy means) and it seemed important to do something, however small. So we refused to buy South African produce. We stood vigil outside South Africa House. For years. We went on demos, we went to gigs, we sprayed slogans. Eventually history caught up with us, and when it did, and when from a cold 1990 February day in the UK we watched Mandela walk free from prison, we were moved beyond words. And proud to have been on the right side of history. And we understood the power of solidarity.
Mandela's final steps towards freedom were accompanied by the unseen ghosts of those who hadn't made it: Steve Biko and the countless others who had 'died' in custody, the children of Soweto who had been gunned down so mercilessly on the streets of their township, all those whose lives had been cut short by the regime. All those who had shown the kind of courage and dignity in their resistance that we all hope we would be capable of. We'll never know, of course, unless we are tested. And who wants to be tested like that? We need our Mandelas to help us tell our stories and understand our histories, we need those human beings in our world who can rise beyond the ordinary to achieve the extraordinary, and Mandela was without doubt an exceptional human being. But we should not try to sanctify him, and we should remember that all of those people who gave their lives in the struggle against apartheid were potential Mandelas. When Mandela walked out of prison he carried their hopes and dreams with him.
When Thatcher said that there was no such thing as society she was wrong. There is nothing but society. None of us is self-sufficient, everything we do, or buy, or use, or think, or love is connected to someone else. It is how the human race has constructed itself. Perhaps today, in our increasingly complex and global society, it is not so easy to recognise those things that are straightforwardly abhorrent – perhaps challenging or changing or resisting them is not so straightforward. How will history judge, for example, our embracing of neo-liberal economics when every time we buy 'competitively' priced goods we are tacitly condoning child labour and sweatshop conditions somewhere else in the the world? These are complicated times. Let's remember, though, that Nelson Mandela was not some kind of straightforward Christ-like figure. Yes, with his capacity for dignity and moral courage, decency and compassion, forgiveness and empathy, he has come to symbolise the best of humanity. But he was also a fighter, a thinker and a political strategist. Perhaps the best way to honour his life would be try like hell to harness all of these traits and direct them at the profound social injustices which taint our world today.
In the meantime let's celebrate his life and take a little trip down memory lane.

Malloy urges residents to avoid travel during anticipated blizzard
In a press conference on Thursday at 6 p.m., Gov. Dan Malloy urged residents to avoid unnecessary travel during the height of the predicted blizzard on Friday.
He said the state has 632 plow trucks ready to work throughout the storm that is expected to be at its worst Friday afternoon through mid-Saturday.
The state is also pre-treating highways and bridges in anticipation of up to a possible two-foot accumulation of snow.
Both Connecticut Light & Power and United Illuminating are preparing for possible outages due to high winds up to 40 mph resulting from the storm, and have contacted out-of-state crews to assist.
The utility companies are preparing for a possible 10% outage each.
Malloy also said those without power using generators should use them safely, making sure ventilation areas are clear and not risking carbon monoxide poisoning.
Malloy said he expected state offices to be open on Friday morning but there would likely be an early dismissal — but that could change depending upon revisiting of forecasts at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
A number of local colleges and universities have already canceled classes tomorrow, Malloy said.
Malloy said that while it is expected to stock up on supplies when storms occur, hoarding supplies like milk, bread or gas is discouraged.
When asked how much snow Malloy expected, the governor responded "more than I want."
He also said that any state residents planning on using public transportation like buses or Metro-North should expect service to be suspended at any time.
Malloy said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency is on site for Friday's storm and many FEMA agents remain in the state working on Hurricane Sandy recovery.
Should there be a need for a State of Emergency declaration, Malloy said he is "prepared to declare whatever I need to declare" and paperwork is already in process.
He also encouraged all local municipalities to keep roads clear for emergency purposes and to open their Emergency Operation Centers.
Malloy said the state's EOC will open as of 9 a.m. Friday.
He said the state is taking the blizzard "very seriously."

TUCSON, July 21 (UPI) -- The husband of ex-U.S. Rep. Gabriel Giffords, who was wounded in a 2011 shooting rampage, said he and his wife were "horrified" by the Aurora, Colo., shooting.
"Gabby and I were horrified to hear of the tragedy in Colorado last night. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families," Mark Kelly said in a posting on Twitter Friday.
Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, suffered brain damage, and six people died in the Jan. 8, 2011, shooting at a grocery store parking lot in Tucson, Ariz.
She resigned from Congress this year to focus on her rehabilitation.
Ron Barber, a Giffords staff member injured in the shooting, won a special election to serve the remainder of her term.
Politico reported Barber said in a statement his "thoughts and prayers" go out to the Aurora community.
"The people of Aurora have suffered an immense loss," the statement said.
"We are tested in times like these and we must come together to support one another in the wake of tragedy. I know that Aurora and its residents will take solace in one another in the coming days and weeks. All of Southern Arizona, and the nation, stands with you today."
The brain damage Giffords suffered affected her speech and language skills.
Police in Colorado said James Eagan Holmes, 24, was being held in the Aurora movie theater shooting in which 12 people were killed and 58 injured. The shooting occurred during a midnight showing of the new Batman movie.

We're a team of successful entrepreneurs w/ notable accomplishments in the Internet & interactive services markets. We've developed a patented telephone application that "certifies" a phone call; similar to a "certified letter" sent through mail. Certicall authenticates the parties (checks participants are who they say they are), records, archives, transcribes,& certifies phone conversations between two consenting parties, and allows for the conversation to become a binding agreement if desired. The caller can retrieve the call & listen back to the conversation at any time by phone or web. Some of our tag lines & concepts: "Certicall, transforming what a phone call can do"....."confirming your commitments", "revolutionizing the way business is conducted", "Certicall, your word is your deed." We envision both professionals and consumers being able to make verbal agreements on their smart phones while on the beach or anywhere on the go. It is eco-friendly because it's paperless (although that's not the main focus) and will ease the burden of needing to write up contracts. Key words: Authentication, Convenient, Secure, Certified, Trusted, Verified, Digital, Efficient, Eco-friendly, Mobile, Simple, Powerful. As a group we're modern, forward thinking, like to have fun, and can't wait to get a powerful logo to match our concept!
Anyone who wants to memorialize a telephone conversation. Doctors, Lawyers, Educators, Divorced couples needing proof of conversations! Even in everyday phone conversations, think of the last time you had a phone call that turned out bad and ruined your day, and you wished you could recall that phone call, or had proof of what was said. The target audience would be male and female 20-60 years old, both professional and consumer, business and personal calls too, so the logo must be universally appealing. Anyone who wants to "take control of their phone communications", by making binding transactions over the phone.
I'm totally open to the creative process! I love the trendy type of sequential style logos that have color, gradients & translucency (as seen on logolounge.com attch'd)& also styles with light and dimension. I'm not into conservative logos like Bank of America. I'm partial to either iconic/ symbolic/ brandmark logos but am open to a wordmark logo if appealing. It should feel friendly and approachable but professional. Use ".com" or not. No cartoons, please. We want an enduring brand & professional seal/watermark of authenticity. I'm trying to capture a feeling of "enhancing the certainty" of a phone call or showing how powerful a simple telephone conversation can be once it's certified. Maybe digital efficiency too. It can include a tag line or not. My current website is in Wordpress (Screenshot attached). I think the blues/greens combined with black is eye catching. I like something that pops! The logo should look good against a light or dark background, grey shades,and on the web too. I'll need orignal vector format, ai, jpeg or eps and all modern formats required for web, print, letterhead, business cards, etc. that will resize well and maintain high resolution. I'm not keen on checkmarks and please no clipart or stock images. I'm looking for original designs that convey some of our keywords and concepts. I will be involved the entire way and will provide feedback as needed.

Kathy Lukin holds her students to high standards. She does not pity or coddle the children who come into her classroom every day. She puts in extra hours before school and on the weekends to create new learning opportunities for her students. She advocates for more inclusiveness and support for her kids.
While these are strategies many teachers employ to help their students learn, Lukin is also faced with the challenge of teaching special education students, many of whom have severe disabilities.

None - the logo design needs to stand alone
There are three graphic logos required for three seperate motorbikes
I want you to think 1940's fighter nose cone art
Dont use the words the worlds fastest 650 in the logo
People who love things which are fast - deadly fast and slightly absurd - I want these logos to have the look of a tattoo or a 1940's style nose art.
The bikes are all done in highly polished aluminum to look like a fighter plane from the last days of WWII so I'm looking for a logo to compliment that -
I want you to play with three ideas
Idea one a Flaming skull - bright liquid flames coming from a cartoon (simple skull) which is looking straight at the viewer
A Heart done in the same way - simple cartoonstyle with flames
A dagger bisecting a narrow scroll featuring the words love on the left side and war on the rightside
There will be a few places these designs will go - in March next year we are taking the bikes to the desert to race in speed trials so they will need to go on the tanks of the bikes - also we will producing t-shirts for the crews racing the bikes - the t-shirts will all be black so they will need to look good on that.
The attached files are of the w650 - one for a poster a friends had done and one this week after I changed the airbox, filters and carbies (now 0 - 100k in 2.85 sec with my 113 kilos on the back of it) but the Vespa and the Ct 110 will follow a similar theme
Thats where the logos are appearing - dont use them in the logo don't thats what they will be on.

HONOLULU — Top scientists from around the world who study rats as invasive species will convene at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa from March 27-31, 2007 for a special conference. Organized by UH botany professor Don Drake and anthropology professor Terry Hunt, the five-day conference will focus on rats, humans and their impacts on island ecosystems. The more than 70 presentations include research from archaeology, palaeo-environmental studies, genetics and field biology from islands around the world.The conference opens with presentations by two well-known scientists on Tuesday, March 27. Professor Daniel Simberloff, an ecologist from University of Tennessee, who specializes in the biology of invasive species, will discuss the impact of rats and other animals on ecosystems. Professor Atholl Anderson, an archaeologist from Australian National University, will address human colonization of the remote Pacific Islands and the simultaneous introduction of rats. Conference speakers will cover a wide range of topics, including human and rat colonization of islands, the impacts of rats versus humans on island environments, examinations of native plants and animals and extinctions, direct and indirect ecological impacts of rats on ecosystems, and the role of eradication of rats in biological conservation.The plenary presentations by Professors Simberloff and Anderson are free and open to the public. Registration is required for other conference participation. For more information, visit the conference website at http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/drake/Rodents2007.htm.

Forest Service Renews Cave Closure in Rocky Mountains to Stop Spread of Bat-killing Disease
BLM, Other Forest Service Regions in West Fail to Take Protective Action
GOLDEN, Colo.— For a third year, the Rocky Mountain Region of the U.S. Forest Service is enforcing an emergency cave closure on national forest lands to stop possible human transport of an invasive fungus that has already killed millions of bats. The renewal of the closure is good news for North American bats and provides a model for the many other regions of the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management in the West that have not yet closed caves.
"In just six short years, white-nose syndrome has spread across most of the eastern United States and wiped out as many as 7 million bats," said Mollie Matteson, a bat advocate with the Center for Biological Diversity. "This cave closure is the minimum needed to try and prevent further spread of a horrible epidemic."
The disease first appeared in upstate New York in a cave connected to a popular tourist cave. To date, white-nose syndrome has spread to 19 states and four Canadian provinces. The fungus that causes the disease has been detected on bats as far west as eastern Iowa and western Oklahoma. Bats and people are capable of transporting the fungus, which is believed to have originated in Europe. But unlike bats, humans are able to transport the fungus long distances. Biologists fear the bat malady will leapfrog into the western United States, where many more new bat species may be susceptible to the disease.
The closure issued by the Rocky Mountain region this year explicitly allows for exemptions on a case-by-case basis. Cavers willing to assist the Forest Service in conducting bat surveys and other cave conservation work may be allowed limited cave access after submitting formal requests to forest supervisors; members of the National Speleological Society and the Cave Research Foundation are among those who may be allowed access to caves in the region.
"If cavers are following the strict decontamination procedures against the fungus, and they are doing specific work to assist in furthering understanding of bats, the policy could be helpful," said Matteson. "But if there is poor enforcement of the closure and exemptions, it could lead to abuse and increase the risk that white-nose syndrome will make a disastrous leap into the West."
The Forest Service closed virtually all caves in the agency's eastern and southern regions in 2009, when white-nose syndrome was spreading rapidly throughout the Northeast and beginning to appear in the southern Appalachians. Those closure orders are still in place to protect bats affected by the disease from further disturbance and to prevent the fungus from being transported out of the region.
In the western United States, an emergency cave closure has been put in place only in the Rocky Mountain Region of the Forest Service, which includes Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota and eastern Wyoming. On other federal lands in the West, including virtually all lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, as well as the other regions of the Forest Service, most caves and other bat roosts and hibernation sites remain open to unlimited human access. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ended public access to all caves on its wildlife refuges in 2011, and the National Park Service has tightened public access to caves in parks.
"Cave closures are needed throughout the West," said Matteson. "The loss of millions of bats is a terrible tragedy that has real consequences for people who depend on them to keep insect pests in check."
Scientists have estimated that bug-eating bats provide pest-control services to American agriculture worth as much as $53 billion per year.
The Center petitioned all federal land-management agencies to close caves in 2010 and petitioned the White House Council on Environmental Quality earlier this year to direct the agencies to enact closures. It also petitioned for Endangered Species Act protection for the eastern small-footed bat and northern long-eared bat. Both species have been particularly hard hit by the disease; a decision on their protection is due in 2013.
The Center for Biological Diversity is a national, nonprofit conservation organization with more than 375,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.
