Hurricane Katrina / New Orleans is still not released...1 year later ! ! !
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has
To this poor crackers land."
lyrics from Randy Newman's great song, " Louisiana, 1927 "
Hello there good people....
Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and it's aftermath on our beloved American soil....
Today, I woke up to NBC's "Meet The Press" and moderator Tim Russert interviewing Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans.
For the most part, it was a respectful interview, and compared to some of the politicos that have run their jaundiced game on the media, and on that show, it was an informational, yet sobering episode once again about the big cloud of not making any big movement toward solving the Katrina crisis within these shores.
New Orleans, LA is a city that basically still looks like it was hit by a nuclear bomb, and during this episode of MTP, Mayor Nagin was asked about his recent remarks about New York City and the World Trade Center site compared to NOLA's plight....his answer (and I am paraphrasing here) juxtapositioned NOLA's situation against NYC's still having a 'hole in the ground". It was a thinly-veiled reference to the bureaucratic stifle that still exists after to this day, with regards to any movement by the current administration, or movement by local government to remedy the situation.
Mr Nagin apologized on the show for his pointed remark (which I thought were more "spot-on", than insensitively pointed...
When Mayor Nagin answered the NYC gentlemen (in a replayed clip for all....(to me) it felt like the answer of a man who had seen as much devastation in a different arena, in full consort with his NYC counterpart).
This felt like the man just wants to continue his work to help rebuild his beloved city, as he has always postured.
He (to me) seems to be a kind man, and he has been a rudder that NOLA has needed through this debacle....a person who is not afraid to show his pain over the devastation of his beloved city.
His remarks at times, I think, are sometimes the dagger of reality that the right-wing leaning media needs to have shoved in it's face from time to time.
Moreover, I personally didn't think that he was being disrespectful to the "sacred ground" (the pundits words, not mine) of the World Trade Center crater that still exists, this amongst the end fighting of bureaucracy and political maneuvering, as to what should occupy the crater (new, higher paean to a building or memorial...).
He also went on to say (in response to a question by Russert about being satisfied with the response of /direction of said monies, from the Government so far, in regards to disaster relief) that the Federal money that has FINALLY been released by the government is being funneled through endless bureaucratic channels, and is NOT getting to the proper place with enough speed.
(Hasn't this been the general norm, and the usual ticky-tacky-ness with the current administration... RIIIIGHT????
(you should've heard the voice of Bill Cosby doing the Lord talking to Noah with the delivery of the last word).
NOLA, or any city (there are others that went through Katrina also!!) on American soil shouldn't be in this position of wondering...
I do also agree with Mayor Nagin's remarks a while ago that if this were upstate NYC, or the more privileged areas of South Florida like West Palm Beach, you would have seen Gabriel blowing trumpets to signal all help to come down and save these people.
It is a blatant, total disregard for human life (some were White, and there were tons of people who are 'darker' than blue, as it were), and this country should be (or at least most of us) extremely ashamed enough to not 'sweep it under the rug'.
We, here in Portland, Oregon have seen some of NOLA's residents sprinkled like ashes on the wind, to land in our fair city, and I do truly hope that they are experiencing some balm to their soul, but this is not Wanderlust-by-choice....
these people were FORCED to leave their city and homes, and their lives to try and make life anew elsewhere. I am sure that these people were not on the economic large end of the food chain, as it were.
In this country, on the news, I continue to see references of another dead body from NOLA, another person found in their attic trying to outrun the water and dying, others found under rubble and floorboards, and it brings me to a maddening resignation, but not quiet enough to not share with you my feelings.
In my opinion, we don't need this current, lying through their teeth government to be allowed to go on with it's insensitivity to many of it's people in this country (not just only NOLA...we could talk about the seniors and the Medicare debacle, the state of all the children left behind with education and it's underfunded atmosphere, the Iraq war and it's profit mongering...and the maneuvering to start another war in Iran for more war machine profit...how about spying on it's own people...I could go on...).
The link below is a story from the New York Times today, and it does have a graphic nature to it, but needs to be seen to be taken in and meditated upon. We need to see this. Be sure to grab the whole link and paste it in your URL slot.
If you choose to read this story, please remember this tale when you vote in November for change.
We, as Americans should continue to be outraged, even in the face of a repeat of the images of the President on "Meet The Press", lying his ass off many months ago in a national speech on TV,
saying for all to hear in the town square of Jefferson Parish that help was on the way....
As the B.B. King song says, "I got some help I don't really need"
Tell that to the 140,000 people still displaced, dead or missing from the original numbers of NOLA's occupancy.
The help they really need, it not only is non-existent...
...It's virtually been washed away.

Every town in Europe seems to have a historic district, and while they are all, in a way, similar, many are also unique. One unique example is the historic old town in Genoa, Italy. Being quite hilly and stuck between the mountains and the sea are two things making the old town unique. Also, it is massive and easily the largest old town district I've visited in Europe.
Modena, Italy…The City of Engines? It has less than 200,000 people, but the area around Modena boasts a lineage of sports/super car manufacturers unrivaled anywhere in the world. Historically elite manufacturers Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini, along with relative newcomer Pagani each have headquarters, factories, and/or test tracks within earshot of Modena, literally. One morning while relaxing in Modena's Giovanni Amendola Park I could hear the fine tuned engines working on the test track a few kilometers away. The City of Engines? yes!
Milan, among other cool things, is the home of Leonardo da Vinci's painting The Last Supper. Who knew? Not me….until the day before arriving in Italy's second largest city. Painted in the 1490's in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria della Grazie and commissioned by Leonardo's patron Ludovico Sforza (the Duke of Milan). Fun fact #1 I didn't know until visiting the painting: It is massive, about 15 feet high and 29 feet wide. Fun fact #2: It is on a wall, and previously above the door to the kitchen. While enlarging the doorway in the 1650's Jesus' feet had to go. Long ago bricked up, the strange irregular shaped doorway arch is still part of the painting today.
Bologna, Italy is home to the oldest university in the world, famous for its towers, the home of Ducati motorcycles, and miles upon miles of awesome porticoes (covered walkways and building entrances). The longest portico is two miles!
I'm no scientist….but Venice is sinking. Or maybe sea levels are rising. Either way there is some flooding going on in the City of Canals/City of Bridges/City of Water/City of Masks/The Floating (Sinking) City. That said, it's still pretty damn cool to walk around this city and if the flooding is only prevalent during certain times of year (though each year it is getting a little more frequent and deeper!). No worries though, bring some galoshes with you on your visit and you'll have no problems!

OREC (Onawa Racing and Events Complex) based out of Onawa, IA just off of Interstate 29 is the future of Drag Racing and Family Fun. The idea for a drag racing and event facility came from a team of community leaders and business owners searching for alternative uses of Onawa's under-used municipal airport. Racing enthusiasts were overcome by the idea, so much that many then joined the effort to develop the dream plan. With the support of the community and Onawa City Officials, the dream eventually became a reality.
OREC plans to build a racing and event center facility used primarily for public entertainment. Plans for seasonal weekly drag races every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Annually, as well as private and public events on site throughout the year are OREC's goals. Please stay tuned to the website for updated information regarding the development of the facility and opening dates!

We are really looking forward to you visiting our art exhibition on Wednesday. The children and staff are working hard to ensure all the work is finished ready for display.
We all enjoy sharing the children's work with you and it is lovely to have another opportunity to celebrate our wider curriculum beyond reading, writing and maths.
Whilst our theme has been 'People in Art', each class has studied different artists and techniques on which to base their work.
Maple class have looked at the works of Andy Warhol and will also be very busy this week making biscuits for our refreshments.
Oak class have made some stunning portraits based on Picasso resulting in an amazingly colourful classroom!
Willow class also studied Picasso and, with oak class, visited an art gallery in Bedford to learn more about portraits.
Beech class have looked at the Victorian art form of silhouette making and have produced some incredibly striking displays.
Rowan class have concentrated on Lowry and have produced an impressive variety of work based on people. Look out for their life size colourful portrait around the school!
Sycamore class have based their work on Giacometti whose exhibition we went to see at the Tate way back at the beginning of the school year!
We hope you enjoy looking at the children's work as much as they have done making it. It has been a most enjoyable learning journey!

Feedback of any kind is always welcome.

I read most of this thinking; here's a nice teenage boy going through life, not much happening, just about a normal kid living his life and fluffing stuff up like any normal kid, but still it's well told.
I didn't get too bored, it was a nice story I could dip in and out of.
3/4 of the way through and things are much the same; life's looking up for Jake and I feel like I've sort of become one of the family in a strange way, but I still wasn't certain if anything was going to happen.
Then Wham.
Right at the end his world is turned flippedy upside down and it's heartbreaking.
I finished this book and couldn't do anything else but sulk for about half an hour because I was so upset.
I had to go for a walk and muck out the rabbits.

Jake is just an ordinary boy who wants to be liked.
This sentence sums up Jake pretty well. The story of Jake is the story of a pretty ordinary teenage boy going through his ordinary day to day life. I think that is what makes this book interesting, the fact that Jake is just like the kid next door…or just like you. He has a good home, a nice life, and satisfying friendships. He is not some secret superpower waiting to be discovered – he's just Jake.
The characters are well written and believable. Jake's little brother Ben is cute. I think it is hard to write kids and make them credible, but the author is able to do it here.
Overall I enjoyed this story, though it was a bit depressing. I guess life is sometimes, though. The beginning was a bit slow for me, but as Jake's story continued things and people's lives started weaving together and created an interesting narrative.

on April 04, 2013 :
The main thought going through my head during the first 200 pages of the book (I read the epub version) was that if you want to read about someone whose life is duller than yours, then Jake is the book for you!
Basically, the first bunch of chapters are a drag through. They are over written, and quite dull. Jake has a perfect life. Jake has a perfect family. Jake has friends. Jake is childish. Jake has anxiety issues. It's all really quite frustrating and you just want something to happen because I mean, I bothered to read the book and I deserve my story! And a dull life of a standard teenage kid is anything but!
But then Jake meets Kim. And you get swept up in the perfect romance that they seem to share. They are in love as only teenagers can be, and it's all well and sweet. And personally, I'd have been content with that being my story had I known what would come next. But I didn't, and I demanded more, and more I got.
The second 200 pages of the book had me laughing and crying and riding the general emotional roller coster of the story. I lived through Jakes eyes, and what a regretful life that seemed to be. The events are a bit overblown to be honest, but the emotions in them are perfect.
The spell of bad luck that seems to follow the kid isn't a very easy pill for the reader to swallow. I mean, how crappy can your luck be for all that crap to happen to you?! Especially after the perfect life you've been leading thus far. And all over a can of beer?! Who gets that drunk over filtered beer!? And ugh I'm just pissed because the story line really got to me. (even though it didn't make a lot of sense in my mind.)
As a gentle warning, if you've ever lost someone dear to your heart, THIS IS NOT THE BOOK FOR YOU!
However, if you're struggling with alcohol problems THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU.
The few grammatical errors throughout the book are easily ignored once the plot thickens. If a second edition of this book is ever published, I hope those are fixed. I also hope a bunch of the useless events at the beginning of the book are canceled out. Do that, and you get yourself a pretty good book on your hands. Sad, but good.

This was a pretty good book. The character creation is done well, and the plot moves at a reasonable pace, though some may find the start of the book to be a little slow.
A small warning though: some of the contents of this book may not be suitable for all who fall in to the young adult audience (especially those at the lower end of the age group).

I think I'm in shock. I don't know what to say.
The first half of Jake is the normal day to day recount of an average teenage boy. The events are boring and everyday things with no real importance and yet not at all hard or tedious to read. I actually found the conversations between the boys and the natural progression from topic to topic fascinating, it was so realistic and despite me being 24 years old now I felt I might be sitting in my school uniform listening in.
Jake leads you into a false sense of security. I mean, nothing could happen to such a normal boy with a normal average life, right?
It hits you out of no where and suddenly it's like watching a train crash. You can see what's coming and you're powerless to stop it.

EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Feb. 23, 2017) - OneSoft Solutions Inc. (the "Company" or "OneSoft") (TSX VENTURE:OSS), is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary OneBridge Solutions Inc. ("OneBridge") will be presenting its new software solutions at the 29th International Pipeline Pigging & Integrity Management ("PPIM") Conference to be held at the George Brown Convention Centre and the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Houston, Texas from February 27 to March 2, 2017. The PPIM Conference is the only industry forum devoted to pipeline pigging for maintenance and inspection as well as pipeline integrity evaluation and repair and is expected to draw engineering management and field operating personnel from transmission and distribution companies who wish to improve operations and integrity management.
OneBridge will be presenting its Cognitive Integrity Management ("CIM") SaaS solution which utilizes Machine Learning and predictive analytics to ingest inline inspection ("ILI") runs and associated data, align anomalies run to run and calculate corrosion growth over time. CIM's new cloud technology is designed to assist pipeline operators to realize their objective of zero pipeline failures.
OneBridge will also introduce its new HoloLens augmented reality application that overlays ILI data and other digital information as 3D hologram visualizations on the pipeline. Microsoft's Houston-based specialized oil and gas sales personnel will also be in attendance to provide collaborative assistance and to provide device equipment in the OneBridge display booths (#549 and #648).
"PPIM is billed as the one-stop global event for pigging and integrity management and offers us a great opportunity to showcase our new solutions to both domestic and international pipeline operators," states Tim Edward, President of OneBridge. "We will be working collaboratively with Microsoft teams to demonstrate our CIM and HoloLens solutions, and to explain the many advantages and benefits of using our new technology and the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and services."
More than 2,200 pipeline operators and engineers, manufacturers and suppliers from around the world are expected to attend PPIM to learn about the latest in technology and field experience as presented by industry leaders. Attendees can update their knowledge and skills in numerous training courses offered at the conference and learn about new innovations in integrity management technology and practices.
About OneBridge Solutions Inc.

How Can We Feel Safe?
Do you feel safe? I don't mean do you fear you're in danger of being robbed or burgled or murdered. I mean do you feel like you are emotionally in a place of safety?
I admit I haven't always felt safe. In fact, one of the most unsafe times in my life was after my father died in the summer of 2006. I wasn't aware of it in exactly those terms at the time, but in the years that have followed, I've thought a lot about this human drive for safety.
I think we all recognize the desire for physical safety. We lock our doors. We look twice to cross the street. But emotional safety is sort of nebulous. Undefined.
I find safety in relationships and in roles. I didn't realize how glued I was to my parents and my identity as a daughter until I lost my dad, and then three years later, when I lost my mom. Over time, I've examined how magnetized I was to them, even though I was an independent woman. I bought my own home, alone, at age 29. Umm….it was 10 minutes from their house.

History of the Department
The programme in Agricultural Extension in the University of Nigeria was initiated at the instance of UNICEF in 1965, when the agency entered into an agreement with the University to support the programme for a period of five years. This was done because it was realised that the programmes of the Faculty of Agriculture were defective without a programme in Agricultural Extension. Agricultural development was conceptualised as a system held in place by three important links – agricultural education (which includes soil, crop and animal scientists as well as agricultural economists and extension experts), agricultural research and agricultural extension.
The omission of agricultural extension in the Faculty programme was thought a serious one because research and other activities carried out in soil, crops and animals were useless unless their findings were made available to and accepted by farmers; hence, the need for a programme in agricultural extension.
At the inception of the programme in 1965, agricultural extension was organised as part of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension because of lack of teaching staff and other logistic support. In 1973/74, the curricular of agricultural economics and extension were restructured to permit two degree options – Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Extension.
In 1981, as a result of greater national awareness of the importance of agricultural extension, the University Senate created a separate Department. The programme started in 1981; the trend in student enrolment at undergraduate and postgraduate levels as well as staff disposition has been in the upswing.

Welcome to the Geography Department!
Throughout their time at Gateacre students will have the opportunity to discover the world in their geography lessons with the department aiming to make sure that students are not only learning about the world, but are also prepared to go out into it when they leave school and be successful in it.
The department holds 2 nationally recognised accreditations awarded by the Geographical Association (GA) in 2015- the Secondary Geography Quality Mark (SGQM) & Centre of Excellence (CoE) status illustrating its commitment to teaching and learning. As well as being a member of the GA the department is also a member of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) and is also the lead subject across the school in the Global Learning Programme (GLP).
Meet the Staff
- Mr A. Smith (Head of Department)
- Mrs S. Woodhall (2nd in Dept)
- Miss J. Owen
Geography at Key Stage 3
Students at KS3 (Years 7-9) have 2 lessons of Geography per week.
Year 7
Our Year 7 students start the year by completing a baseline enquiry that covers topics and issues that they may have completed at primary school so that their teacher can help them make the best possible start at Gateacre. Students are provided with feedback and targets to work on over their first few weeks. Many Year 7 students will have also received a 'Geography Passport' over the summer holidays to complete through the departments work with local primary schools. The passport is full of exciting activities and quizzes again to help students make the best possible progress at Gateacre when they start in September.
Students in year 7 also complete units such as 'What is Geography?' which focuses on introducing them to the different types of Geography. Students will learn about Physical, Human and Environmental Geography. They will study the major features of UK Geography and the major oceans, continents, rivers and mountain ranges of the world. This unit is designed to stimulate interest, enjoyment and a sense of wonder about the world's places and environments but also provide them with a firm grounding.
Another unit which students complete is 'Mapping my world', where students look at the essential elements of map reading. The skills in this unit will provide students with the knowledge that they need to successfully interpret a variety of maps which will be used across the different Key Stages. Students will learn how to work out distances and use scale, interpret map symbols and contours and use 4 and 6 grid references as well as practice their orienteering skills.
Students also study rivers and what happens to them on their journey to the sea with the chance to complete some 3D models as well as completing other units such as deserts & settlements throughout their first year.
Year 7 students are also offered the opportunity to take part in a fieldtrip to a local shopping centre to undertake a shopping enquiry. Some Year 7 students are also invited to attend a fieldtrip to visit Loggerheads Country Park in North Wales to complete an orienteering course as well as a mini river study to build on their classroom learning.
Year 8
Year 8 is a great year in Geography. Students have a close encounter with rainforest animals when the department is visited by the 'Rainforest Roadshow' where students have the chance to handle some rainforest animals whilst completing their 'Extreme Environments' unit. Students also investigate temperature and wind differences around the school grounds when completing a microclimate study in the 'Weather and Climate' unit.
A popular unit is 'Volcanoes and Earthquakes' with students competing against each other making their own erupting volcano!
Year 9
Year 9 is another exciting year in Geography with lots of different units on offer. Year 9 is also an important year as students must choose their GCSE options.
For 2015 Geography was the most popular optional subject at GCSE at Gateacre!
Students start off the year by completing a mini unit entitled 'Geography in the news' where they review all the geographical news that has hit the headlines over the summer holidays. Students go on to look at a number of contemporary issues in their other units that help to bring geography to life. Students complete units on population and migration, Antarctica, Supervolcanoes and tsunamis alongside units such as urbanisation, rocks and the Middle East.
Year 9 students are also offered the opportunity to take part in a fieldtrip visiting the world famous White Scar Cave and Malham located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Year 9 have also visited the Valley Theatre investigating the impact of flooding on the local area.
The Geography department has worked hard to make lessons fun and interesting so that all our students gain a better understanding about their place in the World and to ensure they are prepared to take Geography at GCSE if they wish.

We see different ways of advertising on every step. Billboards, posters, fliers, and many other things are used for promoting for many years. And people use them still. But, there is one thing which is more popular today than all those things. It is the online advertising.
The advertising by using the internet has a wide usage since the popularity of the internet has grown. Everybody use the internet today and that is the reason why people should use this way of advertising. A great number of potential clients can become your clients if you advertise in a proper way. You cannot use the benefits of online advertising if you do not hire some agency for digital marketing to help you do that.
Those agencies help companies become popular and have more clients. They are trying to make your company be on the top of search engines when somebody searches for the things which are familiar to the things your company does. In that way, you company will be the first among many other companies and there are greater chances that someone will hire your company for some job or buy some of your products than from some other companies.
Online digital marketing agencies should do their job in a proper way so your company can be on the top of searching engines. When you want to hire one such company, then you have to pay attention to many things. The company which you want to hire must have several years of experience in the domain of online marketing.
Also, the company must have a great team of workers which can do their job properly. Those workers should possess proper knowledge and experience. The company also should have a good website which looks modern and inviting. Do not forget that that company should create your website, too. When you find one such company, do not hesitate to hire it. That company can really make your business famous and you will have more and more clients every day.
Hiring some digital agency is not something expensive. You would spend more money on the printing fliers, posters, hiring billboards, than on the hiring some online marketing agency. Also, the results will be better when you advertise online. That is because there is a huge number of people who search for everything they need on the internet. They do not want to use the phonebook or some other thing to find something or someone they need. So if you advertise online, there are many potential clients which can become your clients.
Also, many competitors are advertising online and you must try to be the first among many of them. You cannot do that without a professional assistance, so you must hire some digital agency to make your business famous. Every dollar you invest will come back to you multiplied. You will improve your business and you will have a lot of satisfied clients. Do not spend more money on the old ways of advertising when you can use the benefits of online advertising.

I was finally able to read fired Google Employee's James Damore's entire 10 page opinion piece .
Previously, like most, I was left to the Left leaning pieces (who just wanted to beat up on James) or the Right leaning pieces (who culturally scared of their own shadow and will run away from any fight.) Both showed snippets and then provided gave their synopsis which left out a lot of substance. The whole document (although 10 MS Word formatted pages) doesn't take too long to read and you have to read it to get the full view.
UK Daily Mail provided some decent reporting (just the facts) but then gave the whole document to read at the end.
See the article and document here.
James Damore ideologically martyred himself to take on what he calls the Google Ideological echo chamber.
He focused on sameness thru Diversity which opposes success and advancement through meritocracy by abilities. He noted Googles admitted lack of female leadership in the upper ranks (something Google laments) but gave a very reasoned argument why this is the case. His statements of biology are not crazy or necessarily out of the bounds of reason.
From his footnotes:
7: Communism promised to be both morally and economically superior to capitalism, but every attempt became morally corrupt and an economic failure. As it became clear that the working class of the liberal democracies wasn't going to overthrow their 'capitalist oppressors,' the Marxist intellectuals transitioned from class warfare to gender and race politics. The core oppressor-oppressed dynamics remained, but now the oppressor is the 'white, straight, cis-gendered patriarchy.'
9: Yes, in a national aggregate, women have lower salaries than men for a variety of reasons . For the same work though, women get paid just as much as men. Considering women spend more money than men and that salary represents how much the employee sacrifices (e.g. more hours, stress, and danger), we really need to rethink our stereotypes around power.

Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook
Minus the more subjective-opinion statement of women spending more than men, his last statement about needing rethink Stereotypes around power is a siren call. It is a call that sends the thought-police into a tizzy because accusing people of violating diversity (not thinking correctly) is their only tool. (See George Orwell, 1984.)
I found it a well thought out and reasoned piece.
It's only sexist because he dared take on the thought police.

Wear a helmet. Even when coding.
Many books and even more articles have been written about object-oriented
programming and languages. And still new ones are being published almost every
day. Why is that? Well, because object-oriented programming is changing. New
languages arrive, older ones evolve. People think differently every morning
when they wake up.
But as new generations of programmers arrive, carrying fresh views on the
programming practices, one thing remains the same. Modern object-oriented
languages still operate in the same fashion as their ancient predecessors ever
did. Although some genuine doctrines have been invented in the meanwhile, like
templates, or structured exception handling, majority of other novelties
brought up by new languages are mostly cosmetic, primarily targeted at helping
programmers produce code which is easier to write, understand and maintain.
Net effect of this kind of languages evolution is that those same new
generations of programmers, raised on latest designs in programming theory, are
not coming with sense of the broad base on which those same designs are still
standing. Many programmers of today, even successful ones, have difficulties to
understand what happens if they write this or that construct in languages like
Java, C#, Objective-C, and many others. They do have common understanding of
the effects of each such piece of code, but what happens in memory, what
happens in CPU of the computer, that makes them trouble.
This series of lessons, maybe pretentiously titled Object-Oriented Programming Ground Up aims at that sfumato condensed behind so many applications of today. Please
proceed through the lessons and try to enjoy them.
Start reading from Lesson 1 - From Structure to Class.

The Immigration Rules provide that sole representatives of overseas firms which have no branch, subsidiary or other representative in the United Kingdom are not required to obtain a work permit. Such a person does, however, require prior entry clearance (visa/entry certificate) for which application must be made at the British Embassy, Consulate or High Commission overseas. With an application, the following information must be provided:
Ø A full description of the company's activities with details of the company's assets and accounts including full details of the company share distribution for the previous year;
Ø Confirmation that the overseas company will establish a wholly owned subsidiary or register a branch in the United Kingdom;
Ø The applicant's job description, salary and contract of employment;
Ø Confirmation that the applicant is fully familiar with the company's activities and that he/she has full powers to negotiate and take operational decisions without reference to the parent company;
Ø A notarised statement from the company that the applicant will be their sole representative and that they have no other branch, subsidiary or representative in the United Kingdom;
Ø A notarised statement confirming that the company's operations will remain cntred overseas;
Ø A notarised statement that the applicant will not engage in business of his or her own nor will he or she represent any other company's interest;
ØThe applicants passport.
Applications will normally be decided overseas but occasionally it may be necessary to refer an application to the Home Office for further enquiries and a decision. In that event it would take some time before a decision is reached.
If the applicant is successful he/she will, on entry to the United Kingdom, be given leave to enter for 2 years initially. At the end of that time he/she may apply to the Home Office for an extension of stay. The applicant should then supply evidence as follows:
Ø A letter from the parent company stating that they wish to continue to employ the applicant as previously;
Ø Evidence in the form of accounts of the business generated (this form can be flexible according to the nature of the company's business);
Ø Evidence of the salary paid to the applicant in the first year of operation and the terms on which the salary will in future be paid;
Ø Evidence that he/she has established and is in charge of a registered branch or wholly owned subsidiary of the overseas parent company;
Ø The applicant's passport.

One of the few things that is frustrating when it comes to e-cigarettes is knowing how to get started. There are so many different brands out there and all types of accessories to buy, which can make it very difficult for a beginner. When deciding on a new e-cigarette starter kit, you will need to consider several things, such as:
- How often do you smoke?
- Will you need more than one battery?
- Do you expect to be smoking while you are out or just at home?
- How much do you want to spend to get started?
- Are you interested in any accessories such as car chargers, wall chargers, or a carrying case?
Buying Your Starter Kit
There are several different starter kits available for e-cigarettes that can cater to all types of smokers. All kits will include the basics that you will need to get started; however, some electronic cigarette starter kits may have more than others. So, which one do you choose? Be sure to purchase a kit that includes instructions on how to use all the contents. That is the most important thing when you are making the switch from traditional tobacco cigarettes to e-cigarettes.
What Is Included in Most Starter Kits?
Starter kits, also known as basic kits, can usually be purchased at an affordable price, depending on what they contain. Typically, you will receive a cigarette battery that is around 650 mAh power. You will also get a clearomiser and a USB charger. The liquid that is inside the clearomiser is usually purchased separately. The liquid is known as either e-liquid or e-juice.
Something to consider when purchasing a starter kit is whether the starter battery charge will last long enough for all-day use. This will be based on how much you plan on vaping. You may not require a large battery if you don't plan on using the e-cigarette much. However, you can purchase replacement batteries that are 900 mAh or 1100 mAh. It is also a good idea to pick up a second battery so that you can keep one charged and have a backup available to use as needed.
If you are smoking while you are not at home or at work, you need to know if your battery will last all day between charges. If not, you may need to pick up a car charger or a USB charger if your starter kit does not include one. An additional USB wire that may be used for charging your device at work using your computer or a wall charger could be very useful and help keep you from turning back to using traditional cigarettes.
Looking for a Kit for Advanced Users?
If you have tried e-cigarettes in the past and are interested in buying something that offers more than a basic starter kit, you can find kits that are designed for established e-smokers that include all types of accessories such as clearomisers, replacement coils and atomisers, or additional batteries with longer charge life.
