WebGL Academy
Learn WebGL and 3D algorithmic for free
This platform has been developed in order to learn WebGL and 3D algorithmic with a progressive and interactive way. It is a simplified online IDE with automatic indentation, syntax highlighting for HTML, Javascript, GLSL and Python. You can run your code and download your project. It uses Codemirror.
The courses are presented in a progressive way, always in connection with the code. Sometimes there are some development exercises. The numbering of the courses only depends on their chronological writing. Because there are many tutorials, I have grouped them in several lessons with a suggested order.
Before starting the courses, you should be comfortable with javascript and it would be great if you already know basics of linear algebra (multiplication, addition matrix/vector) and trigonometry (cosinus and sinus stories...).
The code provided for the different demonstrations is given in a very sequential format. It won't be handy to have too many files with our IDE and we want to focus on WebGL instead of javascript best practices, so most of the time the code is grouped in script.js. If you want to develop your own 3D engine, you should split the code in different modules and classes and you should use software engineering to keep it clean.
The lessons
Click here to launch WebGL Academy IDE with all the tutorials.
In this section, I have grouped the tutorials into differents lessons. For each lesson, I recommend performing the tutorials in the provided order (from top to bottom).
About me
I am Xavier Bourry. You can contact me either using Linkedin, or Twitter, or Google +.
I have cofounded a research company, Jeeliz, specialized in GPU deep learning in the browser. Our technology uses feedforward deep neural networks to process images or video streams, mainly for real time pattern recognition.
I teach 3D programming with WebGL in a French school of computer science engineering, l'Esipe MLV. I also offer training in web 3D programming and 3D algorithmic using either raw WebGL or Three.js. My training sessions are in French or in English and I can freely move around the Paris Area in France. I am not interested in giving online training session (videoconferencing is so boring...). Of course, I use this tool for my training sessions, and I even improve it after each session!
I provide 3D web development services with my company, SPACEGOO. I have also written a framework agnostic book on webgl programming. It is in French. It is entitled Webgl: guide de développement d'applications web 3D .
I am an organizer of the WebGL Paris annual conference. More information are available on the WebGL Paris official website www.webglparis.com.
If you want to thank me
If these tutorials were helpful and you just want to thank me, nothing is easier: just share the glasses virtual tryon application on your twitter, google+ or facebook account. With the Jeeliz team, we have working hard on it and it is a really cool application. We are currently trying to gain notoriety for this application. It is available on https://jeeliz.com/sunglasses. Thank you very much for your help!

Did you hear that sometime last Sunday morning at Wapping Community Church in South Windsor, Connecticut, a robbery was committed? An undetermined amount of money was stolen. And this doesn't appear to be the first time such a crime occurred. The evidence strongly indicates that this is only one of the many unchecked offenses that have been going on over a long period of time.
What's more, all clues seem to suggest that it was an inside job. There was no sign of forced entry. Over two hundred people were here at the scene of the crime and no one is above suspicion. So far none of the suspects have been apprehended. And local authorities are still investigating.
One of the authorities commented that in all his years of investigating robberies, he's never seen anything like this before. A large sum of money was missing, but no money seems to have changed hands. In fact, the money appears to be stolen from God…address unknown. There is no indication that a weapon was used, no visible sign of any struggle that might have taken place. By all accounts, it looks to be a robbery without precedent.
So I have come this morning on behalf of the authorities to issue warrants for arrest. But I have also come to announce that the judge in this case, who also happens to be God, is willing to suspend all sentences. Yes, God plans to pardon all those who make a vow not to commit this crime again.
This bold and unique all points bulletin comes to us this morning via the prophet Malachi. The prophet goes to the people of Israel on God's behalf. He pleads with them to return to God what they have taken from God. He expresses to the people the pain God feels that God's love has been unrequited.
In no uncertain terms, Malachi gives voice to God's message. "I have delivered you. I am your parent and your partner. I entered into sacred covenant with you. You became my people and I agreed to be your God. I promised to companion you and keep you and provide for you all the days between now and eternity."
"Meanwhile you have despised me. You have dishonored me. You have withheld yourselves and your offerings and your service and your substance. Even though I keep nothing from you, you are actively taking something from me. You want more and more and more and you aren't willing to give anything in return. I feel like I'm being robbed."
As is the case sometimes with Old Testament prophets, Malachi comes across as a little over the top. Granted most of us would admit that we fall short when it comes to our relationship with God. We could pray more than we do. We could reach out to people in need and offer help more than we do. We could give more to our neighbors and more to our community. Many of us could increase our financial pledge to the church. But is it really robbery? I'm not sure I'd go that far.
Then again, listen to what Malachi is actually saying and it makes sense. If our human relationship with God is one sided, we know that one sided relationships don't work. Healthy relationships work because both sides are considerate of each other. In a marriage, for example, there are certain initiatives and responsibilities that both spouses must make and take in order for the marriage to thrive. If the relationship is a one way street. where one spouse is doing the giving while the other spouse is doing the taking, resentment will build and the marriage will eventually self-destruct.
So if we know that one sided relationships don't work in our human experience, what makes us think one sided relationships work with God? In order to maintain a healthy relationship with God, you and I need to do certain things on our end to maintain balance.
To that end…with the goal of reminding his people why it was important to even out the scales…the prophet Malachi called human beings to accountability. Back in the first chapter of his book, Malachi stated that "a son honors his father and a servant respects his master, but the people of God despise God."
The people of Israel who heard the prophet responded as any of us likely would. "How is it that we have despised God?"
And through Malachi, God proceeded to lay it on the line. You have offered polluted bread on my altar. You have given me trash and mess and garbage. You've provided me far less than your best and that doesn't work for me.
You and I would never think of giving less than we are supposed to when we pay taxes to the government. We would never shortchange the school that sends us a tuition bill. We wouldn't pay less than the required amount to our mortgage company or the bank that holds our car note or the store that sells us the new outfit.
In every other area of our lives, we engage in regular, substantial, intentional payments. And yet we think we can stroll into the presence of God and give less to God and do less for God than we do for ourselves with all our conveniences and creature comforts.
Flip ahead to today's Chapter Three, and Malachi goes even further by declaring that we have actually abandoned God. Yes we claim that we believe in God, but our actions don't match our words. Finally, Malachi's imagery comes to a climax when the prophet asks the blunt question, "Will anyone rob God?"
Malachi isn't talking about stealing. When we steal from someone we do it behind their backs where no one can see what we're doing. But when we rob somebody, we're doing it right in their face. Will you and I in all our weakness and mortality and frailty and brevity of days on this earth go so far as to rob God?
In the end, everything you and I have in this world comes from God. We brought nothing into this world and we will take nothing out. There are no safe deposit boxes in a casket. I've never seen a Brink's truck in a funeral procession. If we have anything, God gave it to us.
There are plenty of people who will protest. "I got what I earned on my own. I worked hard. I woke up early every morning and came home late in the evening and I deserve everything that is coming to me.
But who wakes you and me up in the morning? Who starts us on our way? Who opened the job door up for us and gave us an opportunity? Who gives us the strength we need to stand up and breathe and hold onto hope? As the Apostle Paul said, "I am what I am but by the grace of God!"
Malachi informed the people they were robbing God. And the people of Israel responded the way any of us probably would. How have we robbed God?
God's answer? You've robbed me by withholding your offerings. But there is something you can do about it. If you really want to keep faith with me and if you want to maintain balance in the covenant I share with you, bring all the offering you can to the "storehouse." Which is a word that means in Hebrew "the temple treasure."
Don't hold back. Don't give just a piece of what you can give. Give your best. Bring your offerings and your pledges and your gifts to the temple where God is and dedicate them to God.
When we give our offering to the church or make a yearly pledge to the church or commit to an endowment gift, you and I are admitting that God is the source of our lives. And when each of us gives our very best to God here at Wapping Community Church, we can make a powerful and meaningful impact on the life of this world. Our offerings can be signs of life and hope for those who are desperate and lonely. Our pledges translate into healing for those who need the company and counsel of faithful Christian companions. Our offerings represent a place where children and youth can come and be educated and feel safe and welcome. Our pledges will be used to help provide food and shelter for those who are hungry and homeless.
Every year around this time, you and I have an opportunity to start a new trend in the world. Everyone out there is busy shouting "We don't have enough! We don't have enough joy!
But when we learn to trust God and stop robbing God, what you shout out loud and what I shout out loud will be different. Instead of "not enough" we will shout together, "there is more than enough!"
By the grace of God, may that day come soon…Amen.

February 28th 2018, the Lowry, Birmingham Royal ballet.
I'm not sure what happened to my previous entry that seems to have duplicated itself several times. Anyway, I had not intended to see this production. I had seen it before and I do find Sleeping ballet lacking in any drama or emotion, but I think now I'm wise enough to realise that that is not the point. The point is this is a celebration of dance - each scene is a ceremonial party of some sort and displays of dance explode naturally out of this slimmest of context. The wedding, though, is long, especially for the poor court sitting round watching for ever. Ballet is gloriously bizarre and you just have to accept such conventions as the whole of the court are draped in acres of heavy fabric trailing across the stage, requiring all manner of clever manipulation, but then the main characters arrive and they are wearing next to nothing, showing off their glorious physiques. It happens. In this weather I hope they were warm on stage. But I was offered some free tickets to this and jumped at the chance, especially as Tchaikovsky had been much in the air this week. Oh that music is sensational, and now I can hear all the little themes and subthemes bouncing about in each scene, echoing and commenting.
Since they try to tell a story, I'll ask what happens to the lady who was clearly with the Prince or was anting to be, in the woods. One flash of a tutu and he's off. And the two guards forever gamely standing at the back of the court, drama students presumably, well they were terrible at their job. what were they guarding as Carabosse entered unchallenged quite happily. No security checks for errant spindles. But heck, it's about the long legs, the long arms, the lines, the shapes, the music, the beauty - and in that this production delivered. And with the tchaikovsky story this week, we also had a personal link to the production which was satisfying.
The week before I had also revisited the Kneehigh production of Brief encounter, with some of the cast from our production. I was nervous as we could not have the technology of projections that made the kneehigh production so joyous, but actually we did pretty darn well, and made ours more melancholy and emotional. One criticism of ours was blending the tragedy with the more earthy humour of the other couples......well here that mixture as even more pronounced and no-one battered an eyelid. It is an amazing piece of theatre. very happy to revisit, but it made me desperate, yep very desperate, to be creative. Not one ounce of creativity is happening in my life at the moment.

Turlock, California is a bustling city in the state's Central Valley. Located close to the San Francisco Bay area and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Turlock is also home to a mass of cultural events, parks, and schools. Full of pet-lovers, Turlock also offers many opportunities to get out and explore with your four-legged friend.
If you're looking for a dog park, you have several choices, including the newly-built Swanson Centennial Dog Park. This large play area has fences, trees for shade, and a water fountain. Quite popular in the area, it's not uncommon to see the park filled with dogs and owners looking to enjoy the beautiful California sunshine.
Another option is the Turlock Dog Park, also called the Sunnyview Dog Park. Off-leash dogs are welcome in the fenced-in sections (one for small dogs, and one for large dogs). This park has a more peaceful, secluded location, and locals often report seeing no other dogs or people during daytime visits.
Several dog-approved hiking trails are close to the Turlock area. With both paved and un-paved sections, the Dry Creek Trail gives dogs the chance to explore flora and fauna in the heart of the valley. Featuring a small creek, this trail was once an old railway line, now converted to a walkable trail as part of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy program. Another rail-to-trail option in the area is the Modesto Virginia Corridor, which is less rural than the Dry Creek Trail, but offers access to retail establishments and residential neighborhoods.

Media Centre
Welcome to the British Hen Welfare Trust Media Centre. If you would like further information or to set up an interview with the Founder, Jane Howorth , please email Francesca Taffs at email@example.com and we will be pleased to help.
Who is the British Hen Welfare Trust?
The British Hen Welfare Trust is, national charity that re-homes commercial laying hens, educates the public about how they can make a difference to hen welfare, and encourages support for the British egg industry. Its ultimate aim is to see consumers and food manufacturers buying only UK produced free-range eggs, resulting in a strong British egg industry where all commercial laying hens enjoy a good quality life.
What does the British Hen Welfare Trust do?
The charity re-homes commercial laying hens destined for slaughter and re-homes them predominantly as family pets. This pioneering initiative is hugely popular with the public and tens of thousands of hens are given the chance to enjoy a free range retirement each year.
The British Hen Welfare Trust uses a positive campaign strategy designed to educate the public and make them aware of their capability to make a difference to hen welfare through their shopping basket.
We have a large supporter base and regularly keep in touch by supplying our 'Fresh Laid News' email and Chicken & Egg magazine.
Facts & Figures
The statistics below show the growth in popularity of the British Hen Welfare Trust's re-homing initiative.
- There are still approximately 16 million colony caged hens in the UK. As a result of our pioneering work increasing numbers of consumers now want high welfare as well as high quality. Our positive impact has seen free range production grow into one of the most successful sectors of British agriculture and nearly half of all British laying hens have access outdoors.
- The barren battery cage was banned in January 2012.
- The British Hen Welfare Trust's ultimate aim is to see all commercial laying hens enjoy a good quality free range life, but the charity is staunch in its support for the UK egg industry and as long as there is demand for caged eggs would rather see enriched caged egg production in the UK rather than imported caged eggs from countries where welfare is beyond our control.
- Nearly 60% of caged eggs end up 'hidden' in processed food products, such as cakes, pasta, confectionery and ready meals. Caged eggs are also frequently 'hidden' in meals served at restaurants and other eating establishments.

"I spent a month in the Atlantic forest volunteering at Iracambi. It is a beautiful and tranquil location in Minas Gerais, Brazil, where you can connect with nature, stumble across prehistoric trees, swim in watering holes, climb mountains in time to watch the sunrise and gaze at the starry night sky.
Perhaps more importantly, it is a special place because of the people you will meet. The staff are passionate about saving the forest and have dedicated their lives to it. Binka and Robin have years of stories to share about their conservation work and how they came to reforest former farm land.
Iracambi will be what you make of it - so make the most of your time there. Get involved in any way you can, volunteer your skills and your creativity to help enact the change that is needed to keep their great work alive!"

As a luxury lifestyle magazine editor, I live by my editorial calendar. As a blogger? Well, that's a different story.
I'll freely admit that I've struggled with keeping an editorial calendar for my blog in the past. Blame the creative in me who thinks, "I'll just write when I'm inspired!" Gah.
Unfortunately, there's not a little conveyor belt of brilliant ideas churning out of me 24/7. So when it comes to my blogging clients (and my blogs, too) I treat them just like I do with the magazine I run: with an awesome editorial calendar in place.
It's a small but mighty piece of the puzzle which will alleviate so much blogging stress from your life. Problems like:
- I don't know what to write about
- I don't know if my blogging efforts are even working
- I can't seem to stay consistent with my blogging
and even the BIG one you may not say outloud…
I really hate blogging and just want to quit already!
If you stick to and adopt an editorial calendar, you won't have these problems anymore.
An editorial calendar will let you see the bigger picture so you can plan for holidays, promotions and for days when you're just lacking inspiration.
Here's how to create an editorial calendar for beautiful blogging bliss.
How to Create an Editorial Calendar For Your Blog
Check the Calendar
First thing's first, check your calendar. Then, ask yourself these questions:
- Are there any upcoming holidays I should blog around?
- Are there any upcoming promotions/events I have that could use a push?
- Am I launching something in the next few months that I need to promote?
- Are there any "smaller" holidays to acknowledge? Like "National Hairstyle Appreciation Day"
Start slotting these blog post ideas into your editorial calendar.
I use CoSchedule within WordPress to see things at a glance. You don't have to start drafting the post yet, just draft the working title and pop it into CoSchedule!
Don't Forget: If you have a marketing calendar already, be sure your blogging is supporting those milestones and goals.
Browse the Blog Bank
I have a running list of blog post ideas I keep in Evernote, I essentially use this as my "brain dump" since it's a digital tool that syncs across all devices. When I'm planning my editorial calendar, Evernote is the next place I go.
Create Theme Days
If you don't already have theme days for your blog, I highly recommend you consider it! Theme days are simply a recurring meme you do on your blog, like Friday Faves where you would roundup some of your favorite products of the week in a collage.
Theme days can really help take the guesswork out of filling out your editorial calendar and give your readers something familiar to look forward to. (For more on blog theme days check out this post.)
Consider a Series
Are there any blog post ideas you've written that sound pretty similar? Look closely and see if there's potential to create a series around them.
This especially makes sense if you're trying to tackle a larger, complicated topic. See if it can be broken down into smaller chunks and you may just have a small blog series on your hands!
One fashion post on spring cleaning, for example, can easily be turned into several:
- Spring Clean Your Closet
- Spring Clean Your Makeup
- Spring Clean Your Underwear Drawer
Survey Your Audience
Still need some blog post ideas? It's time to survey your audience! After all, the purpose of blogging is to engage your current audience and attract other ideal clients, so who better than them to let you know what they'd like to read more about!
You can survey your audience with a quick email or status update. I also like to keep a running list of FAQs in my blog bank of ideas to refer back to later and use as potential blog posts.
Review Analytics
While it's great to have an editorial calendar, I don't believe in planning content 12 months out. Why? Because you should be sitting down to review what's working, and what's not, at least on a quarterly basis.
I do this by logging into Google Analytics and Pinterest to determine what posts are performing the best and what keywords are bringing readers into my site. This is also a wonderful place to get even more blog post ideas!
Here's how:
Sit down with a list of your top performing posts and brainstorm blog post ideas that are related to or would support those posts.
One of my top performing posts on my lifestyle blog, for example, is my review on Trunk Club for Women. For additional ideas that support that, I can draft posts like:
- Top Tips on Using Trunk Club for Women
- Trunk Club for Women Competitors: My Experience with Stitch Fix
- Trunk Club for Women Review: My 2nd & 3rd Trunk
You can do the same with your keywords. What are some other posts you can write that support those popular posts?
Find Inspiration
If you're doing all of the above, you should have plenty of fabulous blog post ideas. But if you need even more, spend some time reading and get inspired!
I find ideas on Pinterest, other blogs, online magazine and websites that are relevant to my audience.
That last bit is the key though, you really have to think about where your audience is spending time online and what they like. If my audience isn't into wakeboarding, there's no point spending my time researching that topic in hopes for blogging inspiration.
With this list, you should be well on your way to plenty of blog post ideas for your editorial calendar! Curious about what else you should include in your editorial calendar? Head on over to part 2 of this series here.
I hope you've found this list helpful to start planning your posts! How do you create your editorial calendar?

When given intravenously (by IV), the maximum effects for increasing blood sugar occur in 5 to 20 minutes. When given intramuscularly (by injection), the maximum effects for increasing blood sugar occur in about 30 minutes. When given just under the skin (subcutaneously), the maximum effects for increasing blood sugar occur in 30 to 45 minutes.
General considerations to keep in mind during treatment with glucagon include the following:
- Make sure you and those around you know how to use this medication in a low blood sugar emergency. Make sure others know that you have a glucagon kit and where you keep it.
- Follow the step-by-step directions included in the kit. Almost always, people will inject this medication just under the skin, although trained healthcare professionals can inject the medication into a vein or muscle. The skin of a buttock, arm, or thigh is typically recommended.
- Roll the person on their side before he or she wakes up. People sometimes vomit when waking up after having low blood sugar, and lying flat on the back increases the risk of inhaling the vomit.
- The person will usually awaken within 15 minutes. As soon as the person is awake and able to eat, it is crucial that he or she be given something to eat. A "fast" source of sugar (such as a soft drink or juice) as well as a "slow source" (such as crackers and cheese or a sandwich) should be given. Be sure to contact the person's healthcare provider right away for further instructions.
- If the person does not wake within 15 minutes, give another dose of glucagon and seek immediate medical attention.
- For the medication to work properly, it must be given as prescribed.

Hi All,
In 2016 I was blessed to acquire 4 of John Bedini's Models, the medium size Brown Pendulum, the 6 Coil SSG, the Ferris Wheel, and the small Brown Ferris Wheel. In 2017 I did the presentation on the Poor mans 4 Battery swapping system using the 6 Coil SSG as the 24V load, charging 3 banks of 24V battery's swapped out to run a inverter running various loads.
Then I had to Move, delaying working on anything until I could get a new shop built at the new place.
Now that the new shop building is built, and the Ele & Solar installed to the building and back to the house, I will be able to erect the Ferris Wheel in the new building and get it going.
In 2019 I did a short presentation at Energy Science Conference announcing a Go Fund Me, to help me fund studying and upgrading the Ferris Wheel to demonstrate what all it can do to generate power.
I will then bring it to the 2020 Energy Science Conference to demonstrate what all I have found and upgraded.
In the mean time, I have started the Explorations of the Bedini Ferris Wheel Motor Energizer starting with the Hub motor with the pie shaped magnets in my new office. Over the next few month's until the 2020 Energy Science Conference, I will be posting updates of that Exploration here in this thread.

Loads overhanging the vehicle or trailer
Warning devices
If the load (including equipment used to support or retain the load) extends more than 200mm beyond the sides of the vehicle or trailer, or more than one metre beyond the front or back of the vehicle, then you must attach suitable warning device(s) to it.
During daylight you must attach:
- flags (coloured white or fl uorescent red, orange or yellow, at least 400mm long by 300mm wide)
- standard hazard warning panels (coloured yellow/green with an orange stripe, at least 400mm long by 300mm wide).
During the hours of darkness, you must have lights on the load:
- at the rear and facing towards the rear, coloured red (if the load extends sideways or to the rear)
Hazard warning panels can be used instead of flags
- at the front and facing towards the front, coloured white or amber (if the load extends sideways or forwards)
During the hours of darkness, the lights must be clearly visible in clear weather at a distance of at least 200 metres.
If the overall width of the projecting load is one metre or less, then place one flag or panel or light at the centre of the load. If the load is wider than one metre, then place a flag or panel or light at each corner of the projecting load.
Note: If your load covers up essential lights on your vehicle or trailer, you must fit temporary lights to your load to make sure you comply with legal requirements. A vehicle lighting retailer or garage can advise you on purchasing and fitting temporary lights to your load.
Maximum vehicle size
Vehicles are allowed to carry loads up to the maximum permitted size (dimensions) for that type of vehicle (provided the vehicle can be safely loaded that way). These maximum dimensions are set out in factsheets 13b Light rigid vehicles (including cars and utes) and 13d Light simple trailers (including caravans, boat and garden trailers).
Oversize (overdimension) loads
Large loads (such as boats and gliders) that cannot be reduced in size to fit within the maximum vehicle dimensions (because they are indivisible) are allowed to be moved on roads as oversize (overdimension) loads. See factsheet 53 Overdimension vehicles and loads for the details of the conditions that need to be met before these loads can be moved.

The Stephen Siller story on Oprah
Click for for all timings
The Inaugural Tunnel 2 Towers Run (T2T) London 2012 (approx 5 Km) took place on Sunday the 21st October 2012. Taking our inspiration from the FDNY Tunnel to Towers Run organised by the Stephen Siller Foundation, www.tunneltotowersrun.org. The run starts in Southwark Park Bermondsey at 11 O'clock. The route then takes you through the empty Rotherhithe Tunnel, yes under the Thames, alongside the docks to Billingsgate Market Finish and the after party in the shadows of Canary Wharf towers.
Join with us and members of all the Emergency Services, military personnel, friends and families, club runners, disabled athletes and many more to have a fun day.
Every Service, Emergency and Armed were represented with a huge turn out and this took various forms, be it in uniform, protective equipment or running wear. Money was raised for hundreds of charities including the Firefighters Charity, Katie Pipers Burns Charity, the pilgrim bandits, The Bomb Disposal Charity 'Felix', The London Fire Brigade Welfare Fund to name a few.
last years event was a great success in glorious sunshine so lets hope Sunday 19 July will be as good and we can raise money for our chosen charities and have a great time listening to live music, playing on sideshows at the Finish party.
On another side of what we do, we have continued to work within the community with our Community Relief and Salvage programme. We as Firefighters (retired & still operational) have attended a few area disasters and carried out work clearing, shoring up, cleaning, re-wiring, rebuilding and refurbishing homes after disasters such as;- Hurricane Sandy (New York USA), The Norfolk Surge Tide, we made ourselves available for the Somerset and Surrey Floodings (we were never used ??) Serbia (called by the Serbian Embassy) Bosnia, Buffalo USA, The Orkney Islands ..We are happy to come to any Community in need and give ourselves and our resources to assist in getting people and communities into their recovery phase.
We have also been instrumental in getting some of Britains wounded and injured Military out to various events, including the T2T in New York, a rehabilitation trip out with some of America's wounded warriors in North Carolina and also now a Charity Bike Ride in Texas the T Mobile Wallis Independence Ride on the 1st of November 2014. We have now aligned ourselves along side the independence fund GB to continue this work.
All of this with great thanks to our partners... Some of which are Yorkshire Tea, Breitling, Hailo Cab, The Special Bar Service.... alongside some special Charities - The Independence Fund, The Pilgrim Bandits, The Firefighters Charity
See you there this year.......... Bigger and Bolder and with even more Pride in what you do....
It is with much regret that due to the non or failed responses from some of the Authorities concerned that are required for the event, alongside the fact that time has moved on and the gap between the event and now is so tight, that we have had to make the decision to 'PULL' the Tunnel 2 Towers Run in London (T2T) this year.
This was a great event and many people worked tirelessly to make it happen. Thank you to all those people and we are sorry for any disappointment for those that enjoy and we're looking forward to taking part.
The T2T run has always met resistance from certain people and groups for reasons that we will probably never know.....
Sorry again to all of our participants.....

Thai police said on March 31 that they had charged 70 migrants from Myanmar and six Rohingya Muslims with illegal entry after they were arrested on a train bound for a southern province bordering Malaysia.
The migrants were taken off the train from Bangkok at around 4:30 am in Nakhon Si Thammarat province when they failed to present valid travel documents, said local railway police sub-inspector Mr Kraisorn Boonlum.
"All of the 76 were charged with illegal entry. The Myanmar ones will be deported back to their country, the six Rohingya must first have their nationalities identified," he told AFP.
Mr Kraisorn said the migrants claimed not to know one another and to have boarded the train bound for Narathiwat province at different stations along the route.
"The Myanmar ones said they wanted to find jobs in the south of Thailand but the Rohingya said they wanted to enter Malaysia," he said.
Thousands of Rohingya - a Muslim minority group not recognised as citizens in Myanmar - have fled deadly communal unrest in the country's western state of Rakhine since 2012. Most have headed for mainly Muslim Malaysia.
The six Rohingya migrants, all men in their 20s, and the Myanmar nationals -- mostly adults and a handful of children -- are being held at an immigration centre in Meuang district in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
The authorities are now investigating whether the Rohingya are victims of trafficking.
"The Rohingya said, via a translator, that their relatives in Malaysia paid around 70,000 baht [K2.15 million] each to Myanmar agents (for their passage) -- but the Myanmar ones said they did not pay anyone," Mr Kraisorn added.
Thailand has long been a hub for people-trafficking, with thousands of Rohingya believed to have passed through the kingdom in recent years.
But they normally arrive in the southwest of the country on rickety boats, rather than taking a train.
Myanmar views its population of roughly 800,000 Rohingya - described by the United Nations as one of the world's most persecuted minorities - as illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and denies them citizenship.
Thailand's military junta, which took over in a coup last May, has vowed to crack down on human trafficking. In January it said more than a dozen Thai government officials were being prosecuted for the trade.
Thai police said on March 31 that they had charged 70 migrants from Myanmar and six Rohingya Muslims with illegal entry after they were arrested on a train bound for a southern province bordering Malaysia.

Goals and Objectives
- Collect and preserve memorabilia and other items in forming the collection.
- Showcase the collection through rotating exhibitions.
- Provide opportunities for student internships, and work study experiences.
- Promote an appreciation of the history of women through exhibits of women's fashion and other items.
Museum History "The Cedar Crest Alumnae Museum opened its doors for the first time for a Reunion in May of 1992 in conjunction with the college's 125th anniversary.
Through the years, Priscilla Gelach Rosendale '52, Althea Mantz '45, and Marcia Root Walsh '51 nurtured a dream for a permanent place to keep our 'treasures' from the past. This all came true when the alumnae were given storage and display space in Curtis Hall. Later, this space would expand during the summer of 1996.
Internships are available for sophomores and juniors. Interns are given opportunities to plan exhibits using fashions and memorabilia collected since 1867.

"When women's colleges were first started people had the idea that a college girl was quite out of the ordinary. She was advanced. She was supposed to be not only studying the classics, but to be striving for a better, saner mode of life; a more rational style of dress; in short, to be an example to the community. Well, she was. For a few years we had a number of awkward, corsetless females, with hair 'slicked' back tight, flat-heeled boots, unfitted gowns, and possibly spectacles, who stood for the type of a college girl, and who were not one whit better psychically than their trimly corseted sisters."
Mary Billings Eddy in Good Housekeeping, 1907

Avatar The Last Airbender: North and South Part 3 written by Gene Luen Yang, art and cover by Gurihiru, lettering by Michael Heisler
Team Avatar works to protect a meeting between Southern Water Tribe leader Hakoda and the newly arrived Fire Lord Zuko and Earth King Kuei. They have come at Hakoda's invitation to discuss plans and support for economic development in the Southern Water Tribe's kingdom. Oil has been discovered and a refinery is under construction but some locals oppose development that might turn the Southern Water Tribe into a pale imitation of the other nations. Resistance leader Gilak (who was imprisoned in the last issue) breaks out of jail and makes trouble for everyone.
As always, Yang does a great job balancing the action and jokes with a more substantive storyline. Waterbender Katara has both nostalgia for the tribe's past and fear of a future assimilation into the other cultures. The story presents many sides of the issue and gives a nice, hopeful resolution.
Highly recommended!

Sowa Reflects on Poland, Politics and Pain in "Marzi"
- by Josie Campbell
- – on
- in Comics, Comic News
In the autobiographical graphic novel "Marzi," out now from Vertigo Comics, creator and writer Marzena Sowa sets the scene with a short story: it is the 1980s, Poland is under Communist rule, and in neighboring Ukraine the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant has suffered a meltdown. Releasing radiation into the atmosphere above her country, Sowa recalls how Polish media questioned what impact Chernobyl would have on the next generation -- Sowa's generation.
"They call us the Chernobyl Generation" Sowa writes. "What life awaits us?"
Equal parts nostalgia and politics, "Marzi," details Sowa (AKA Marzi's) childhood growing up in Communist Poland through a series of short vignettes, all drawn by Sowa's partner and European comic book artist Sylvain Savoia. Speaking with CBR News about the Vertigo release of "Marzi," Sowa began by confessing she is actually a latecomer to the medium of comic books.
"When I lived in Poland I never read comic books," Sowa laughed when asked about the subject. "I think if it wasn't for [Savoia] I would never have made 'Marzi' because it wasn't my purpose, I didn't think it could be an interesting subject and I would have never thought about comic books."
It is a surprising admission coming from the woman whose memoirs have spawned six graphic novels in Europe (Vertigo's "Marzi" collects the first five of her European graphic novels into one volume). However, as Sowa explained, it was Savoia's encouragement that first set her on the road to creating a comic book autobiography.
"When we met I was telling him about my childhood, how it used to be in Poland when I was a little girl; I told him the story about our Polish tradition about the carp, the first story in 'Marzi,' and he just looked at me and said, 'Wow, it's so extraordinary, it seems so exotic but Poland is not that far away from France,'" said Sowa.
As she recalled, Savoia then told her, "'Now that you live in France you will forget everything [about when] you used to live in Poland, so why don't you write it down so you don't forget?'"
At that point Sowa began recording her childhood memories in prose form, sharing them with Savoia who convinced her to turn the short stories into comics.
"He told me that it was very interesting material to share with other people, and it's nice to show another childhood in the social and political context, but also it's universal because even in Communist ruled Poland, even if it was difficult, I could be a happy child," said Sowa.
Labeling her memories her "souvenirs," Sowa pointed to "Marzi's" very rigid and regular layout as mimicking the arrangement of photos in a photo album, a deliberate decision on her and Savoia's parts.
"As you can see in 'Marzi' there's not a lot of action in it, it's not like a normal comic book with different drawings and panels, it's very regular; it almost looks like a photograph album where you can see the photographs and Marzi is commenting on every picture," Sowa said. "It's like a souvenir of my family, of my life in Poland."
While the stories in "Marzi" are the same as Sowa's first five European graphic novels, in translating the book for an American audience there was one huge change: the coloring.
"At first we started to work with a colorist and we started to make the very traditional European comic books [with bright colors]," Sowa explained. However, she and Savoia quickly realized that there was an unforeseen disadvantage to their bright palette.
"We realized that no adults were reading us -- it wasn't a book only for children but we had only children as readers," Sowa said. "So we discussed with our publisher and we decided to try something new, to change the colors and the cover, have it show that it was historically important."
After drawing a new cover, which appears on the Vertigo edition of "Marzi," Sowa and Savoia published a second version of their books that swapped out the bright colors for a darker gray and red palette.
"There were lots of people who discovered us after that," said Sowa. In addition to readers, more international publishers began to take notice of Sowa's work, including Vertigo.
"Vertigo came to us because it seemed more interesting as a book for adults. But we are continuing both of them [in Europe], colors and the gray-ish red-ish version," said Sowa.
While the book is an autobiography, politics are deeply embedded in "Marzi" as cheerful vignettes about Sowa's childhood visits to the countryside juxtapose with short stories of standing in long lines for food and other hardships. However, Sowa told CBR News she did not set out to write a political memoir.
"When I started to write I thought it would be something about my neighbors, only about my childhood -- you are playing with your neighbors, you go to the countryside, you see your grandfather, you pick up strawberries, etc. But it surprised me as an adult that I was so concerned by the politics," Sowa said. "I didn't think about it like this before and I realized it was very important."
Written from Sowa's perspective as a child, the political events surrounding Poland's oppressive Communist party and her country's liberation at the hands of the Solidarity trade union movement are filtered through Sowa's memories, something the writer admitted with a laugh can create a skewed sense of importance.
"I was following the news on television with my father, the news of what was happening, who was Lech Wałęsa [Solidarity founder], was he a nice person or not? Now it's strange to speak in this way, who is nice and who is not nice, but because I was a child it was a very simple way to understand the world!" laughed Sowa.
Rather than downplay her unusual angle on Polish politics, however, Sowa decided to emphasize her point of view. "This is how I try to explain it in 'Marzi,' and because we have very young readers I think it's a good approach for them to see how a small character lives in a big history and how she disappears in it, because she doesn't have a voice; she is living in the adult world," said Sowa. "I think at some point I realized it was very important what I say because I have the responsibility of telling things about my country and I want to be the closest to the truth. I don't want to lie about historical events so I tried to be the most honest I could with me and with my family."
While Sowa stated she did not find the writing process hard, occasionally the stories in "Marzi" brought up painful memories.
"Some political events like the martial law [enforced by the Communist Party from 1981 to 1983] and when my father went to strike were a little bit strange to revisit because, for example, my father is dead now and for me it's painful because it's very personal," Sowa said. "When Sylvain draws my father I think about all the moments I could spend with him and about the life we used to have, and sometimes I'm nostalgic about it."
Pausing a moment to reflect, Sowa then shared one of the stories she found painful to write, an incident with her mother while at the dinner table.
"It was a very personal story; it was when my mother was trying to give me too much food... I didn't want to eat because I wasn't hungry, and she was beating me because she wanted me to eat and I didn't want to because when she started to beat me my stomach was full so it was impossible for me to eat," said Sowa.
The story, which she gave to Savoia to include in "Marzi," proved a difficult one for the artist as well. "I remember when I gave the story to Sylvain to read it he didn't know how to draw it because it was a little bit violent for him to see how an adult can treat a child," Sowa said of her partner's reaction to the story. "He chose to use only the close-ups of the mouth or the hands or the legs and it helped him to be closer to the character of Marzi."
Hindsight, however, has given Sowa a glimpse into the reasons behind her mother's actions, which she had a hard time comprehending as a child.
"In the book you can see the relationship with my mother is a little bit strange and she didn't show a lot of love but she was always forcing me to do things like eating -- eating was always a problem. Now since I'm an adult I can understand her because I know it was so hard to have food. There was nothing in the shops, really nothing, and she was always standing in the line waiting for [food]," said Sowa. "Now I can understand that it was very painful for her to see that I didn't appreciate it."
Despite publishing such intimate family details, Sowa believes writing "Marzi" has made her closer to her family.
"At first I thought that maybe they would be scared, 'What is she saying about us?' Maybe they thought I would lie or something. But in fact I'm not mean to them and they understood it," said Sowa. "Now when they read 'Marzi' they tell me, 'Ah, you could tell this story, you could write this down, do you remember what happened one day?' So it makes us talk a lot about what we used to live."
The writer laughed and added the only complaint came from her mother. "She told us that what she didn't like was that Sylvain draws her too fat! It was the only thing she didn't like, but she was laughing as she said it!" said Sowa.
Beyond the Vertigo collection of "Marzi," Sowa has plans for two other graphic novels, one about Poland's 1944 Warsaw Uprising and other also set in Poland, as well as a seventh European volume of her "Marzi" stories.
"We are going to enter the seventh album and it will still be about childhood. After we think that we will make the Marzi who is [a] teenager, the Marzi who goes to Krakow to study and who comes to France and discovers the world she was dreaming about. I think we will stop there," Sowa said of plans for her comic book counterpart. "That's three periods to approach, to show changes in her life and how she grows."
Looking back on her childhood and work, Sowa spoke again of Poland's "Chernobyl Generation" as a generation in flux, keeping one foot in the past and one in the future.
"I think that for my generation what is interesting and what makes us maybe more rich in experience is we grew up in this very strange period of history and we know it very well because we were small. I was ten when Communist rule collapsed in Europe so I remember those things as I write it in 'Marzi,'" said Sowa. "When I see my parents' generation, the generation of my aunts and uncles, they can hardly adapt to the reality; they don't follow all the changes, they can't always agree with them. We are more open-minded because we remember what happened to our country and we see how it goes now."
While Sowa's memories of Communist Poland are an indelible part of her, so too is fallout, physical and political, of the Power Plant that gives her generation its name.
"We are the Chernobyl Generation because we have [an] invisible enemy in us and we don't know it. Before the USSR, the generation before us had so many problems -- but we could see them, we knew them," Sowa explained. "Now with the Chernobyl Generation it's strange because you just breathed it in, that's all, and you don't know if it's good or not."
"Marzi" is on sale now from Vertigo.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) outbreaks have a significant impact on farmers today and can be very challenging and complex to manage. To gain some insight on managing these outbreaks appropriately, Neogen recently talked with Laird Larson, a wheat farmer who provided his perspective from his 20 years of experience dealing with DON outbreaks.
Q: Can you describe the tools available to wheat and barley growers to potentially prevent and/or reduce DON?
A: First and foremost, it's important to understand that DON is a mycotoxin that appears as a result of the fusarium head blight (FHB) disease. Usually, the correlation between the two is that with the higher levels of FHB, you will have higher concentrations of DON. That being said, controlling FHB, or scab, is most important to reducing DON levels.
To accomplish this, the use of FHB resistant varieties of crops would be my first choice. Most breeders give a rating of resistance to their varieties and it's also important to avoid planting on corn residue ground, as corn is a host for the fungus.
In addition, approved fungicides that have been proven effective against FHB should be applied at anthesis or flowering of the crop heads, which is a very timely application. There is a scab forecasting tool also available that watches the weather forecasts and predicts the potential risk of getting scab, which farmers should pay close attention to. Weather has a strong influence on the amount of FHB and DON, therefore even the best defenses can be broken.
Q: What are the challenges with the tools listed above and how successful can they be?
A: While these are all helpful tools, these practices will only be 60-80% effective. However, anything done to reduce FHB will also reduce the mycotoxin DON levels to where they can be managed throughout the food chain.
Q: If DON is inevitable in the crop, is it possible to reduce DON levels and what are these practices?
A: Research science is constantly studying and testing for methods that can reduce DON. In fact, the U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative (USWBSI) spends over $5 million dollars each year to gain insight on this devastating disease. However, time and money are still needed to further understand its complexity and relationship to mycotoxins, for developing the best practices that can achieve control.
Q: How challenging are these practices and how successful can they be?
A: Understanding both the wheat or barley plant and the disease seem to be crucial for achieving anything close to complete control. Although fungal control can be aided with fungicides, resistance from within the plant appears to be the best form of control at this time.
Q: What do you think the future holds for managing DON? Do you think this is something that can be eliminated or significantly reduced with new technologies, tools and/or practices?
A: I believe we will find ways to significantly manage and reduce infected crops in the future, but will probably never be able to completely eliminate DON. However, in the 20 years I have been studying and working with the disease, many advancements have been made. For example, we have identified and eliminated severely susceptible varieties, found approved practices to lessen infections or the spreading of the FHB, and discovered which fungicides work best and with what application practices.
Although progress comes slow, we are already much better off today than we were 20 years ago. By remembering past events such as those that caused the burning of thousands of acres of infected crops and threatening to never plant wheat or barley again, we have come a long way. Now, as genome work continues to advance, we will be able to learn more about what breeders can do to build resistance to the disease at even higher levels.

Have you ever felt swept away?
Maybe by the crash of a real ocean wave…Or maybe by a tide
of overwhelming obligations.
Maybe by a beautiful sunset that left you literally speechless.
Or maybe by someone with whom you've fallen madly in love with…
The feeling can lift us or it can wash us away….
depending on what's causing the "wave".
Recently, I have felt swept away by a decision to move after over 30 years. In union with my husband and in union with God in prayer, we boxed up our world, and let the Love of the Holy Spirit move us.
And when Love comes to sweep you away, you don't ask where He is taking you.
You just go.
And of course these major decisions and movements of the Spirit, come with many lessons to learn. One must be humble under the guidance of the Spirit, and listen to the whisperings… gently given… in the heart.
Of course we must participate, but a crucial lesson has been to let Him haul.
Yes, YOU haul us Lord! We can't do this on our own!
Whenever I took over, and tried to haul the burden of packing, cleaning, worrying about outcomes, and saying all the many goodbyes, I broke down.
It was too much for me alone.
Whenever I let the Holy Spirit take over, and "haul" all my concerns for me, each day began with trials, but ended with gratitude in my heart
for all HE had accomplished through me.
Each day, He'd send just the right person, or note, or kindness or inspiration in prayer. Each day He's send just enough manpower or financial support
or glimpse of the future full of hope.
A movement of grace has swept over us. The Sacred Heart of Jesus has opened. The Holy Spirit has come to sweep us away, and we trust Him to provide all we need.
Don't ask, just go. It is Love who has come to sweep you away!
