MORE details of a new crematorium in Heaton have been revealed by Bradford Council.
As part of major changes to its bereavement services, the Council plans to replace two crematoria and refurbish a third.
Nab Wood Crematorium will be shut under the plans, with a replacement facility built at Long Lane in Heaton, next to Northcliffe Golf Club.
A planning application for the development has now been submitted, and includes artists impressions of the crematorium building and garden of remembrance.
As well as a new chapel and crematorium building, the plans include the Garden of Remembrance, monument, a floral tribute garden an entrance and junction with Long Lane, 199 space car park with overflow capacity to allow for 300 cars and cycle parking.
Queensbury park spared from development as site of new crematorium is announced
The 6.2 hectare site is in the Green Belt, but the Council argues that due to laws about where crematoria can and can't be built, the site is one of the only suitable locations for the facility in the District.
The Council's Bereavement Strategy will also see Scholemoor Crematorium closed, with a new facility built on a field off Shetcliffe Lane, Bierley.
Oakworth Crematorium will be demolished and re-built.
And there will also be an expansion of the Muslim burial ground at Scholemoor Cemetery.
The Council had said its existing crematoria were operating four years beyond their manufacturer's life span, with existing facilities at Nab Wood and Scholemoor unable to house the larger, more environmentally friendly new cremation ovens.
Before announcing this Heaton site, which was privately owned, as the chosen location, the Council had included Northcliffe Park in Shipley as a possible replacement site for the Nab Wood Crematorium. This led to a huge outcry from the public and campaigns urging the Council to drop the park in favour of a private site.
The application for the Heaton Crematorium says: "The proposals present a high quality design, which will make a significant and positive contribution to Bradford Council's Bereavement Services. Providing a facility that is not only flexible, but a contemporary facility that responds to our ever changing needs, creating a unique experience individual to each service - accessible to all.
"The scheme has been designed to meet 21st Century expectations of the bereaved by providing a high quality facility, with reflective spaces for memorials, as well as reducing the service's carbon footprint through new abatement technology."
A decision on the application is expected in September.

Smart fridges may ease burden on energy supply
IMAGINE if air conditioners and refrigerators could instantly respond to fluctuations in the national grid by reducing their energy consumption at peak times. Dynamic device control technology could do exactly that, and also reduce carbon dioxide emissions, claim the scientists campaigning for its introduction to the UK.
The frequency of the country's national grid fluctuates at around 50 hertz. It is kept at this level by standby generators that usually run below full capacity, so they can adjust their output in response to changes in demand. But running these generators at reduced capacity is hugely expensive and inefficient, producing vast amounts of unnecessary carbon dioxide emissions, …

English, We study spectral gratings obtained as a result of two-photon excitation of the lowest electronic transition of several tetrapyrrole molecules with phase-locked pairs of femtosecond pulses. A particular dependence of these gratings on temperature indicates that mirror symmetry is present between two-photon absorption (TPA) and one-photon fluorescence spectra for non-centrosymmetrical chlorin, but fails for centrosymmetrical naphthalocyanine. The latter case is best described if the homogeneous TPA spectrum contains phonon sideband, but not the zero-phonon line. These results are discussed in terms of alternative selection rules for one- and two-photon transitions in centrosymmetrical molecules. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In our recent efforts to introduce our blog readers to the faces behind Kirvin Doak, I was lucky enough to pull one of my favorites for my assignment, Mr. Jeff Merkle.
Jeff works with our marketing division, and I have teamed up with him on several clients in the past. We were even in a near-death experience on a flight back from a client in Sonoma once where our little plane with propellers skidded across the runway… (Ok that could be a dramatic interpretation but seriously – we bonded.)
In addition, Merkle and I have a common tie in that we both love Notre Dame football. This makes sense considering his parents moved from South Bend, Indiana, to Florida, where he was born, but brought their Fighting Irish pride with them. His favorite ND moment was the 1993 1-vs-2 matchup with Florida State in South Bend. Notre Dame ended up winning that game by a TD, but in bittersweet fashion, lost the very next week in the last game of the year to Boston College. Even though the Irish only had one loss, FSU went on to win the national championship.
"That title's more tainted than a Barry Bonds urine sample," said Merkle.
The '93 game is something no Irish fan will forget. My own father proudly displayed a bumper sticker reading, "Notre Dame: 20; National Champions Florida State: 13" for years to come.
Beyond the Fighting Irish, Jeff has a passion for sports and playing golf. You won't find him at a roller rink however, as one of his most embarrassing moments as a kid was the first and only time he threw on skates, he fell 10 seconds in, breaking and dislocating his ankle.
"A perfect day on a summer weekend would consist of 18 holes, a large piece of red meat on the grill, watching the Mets sweep a double-header with the Braves to take 1st place in the NL East on their way to the World Series, then capping it off by getting my butt kicked by my 2 year old daughter in a game of Candy Land," said Merkle.
He has been married to his wife Monica for five years, and they have a two year old daughter, Hannah.
When it comes to the job, he says there is no typical work day at KDC, which is what keeps him on track.
"Every day is different with its own unique challenges, and it really forces you to always be thinking and prepared."

As we have been advancing by using the period of 3-D systems at leaps and bounds and getting ready to 4-D digitization in which entire world is now a very 'global village', some classical asset like museums look to become in pendulum to start with area. Yet, if we analyse the track record and today's 'keeping-culture-alive' mass, factors are relatively in blossom.
To begin with, museum serves the amazingly function of 'To sit and muse over'-by etymological definition. The exceptionally first of all public museum was started in 1753-'A British museum'. The concept was to maintain all majestic stuff of the physicist which was full of value and fineness. Considering that then, the website visitors of your says museum have developed from 5000 per yr to 6 million in current date (information 14 Jan 2014). Museums remind us life round us. Museum really is a link that connects buried earlier to prevailing existing which to projecting long term. It offers to look at the heritage of the country and with the society. Museums replicate our society's tradition, customs and heritage and so evacuate character of today's growth which happens to be more important to create long run variations. Museum certainly is the only supply which demonstrates our background in visual way. The abundant sources for the classical or regular museums assist a single research and so to comprehend the evolution of existing globe, both of those at financial and even social front. With the nascent phase of civilization museums were being viewed as to always be the position for sheer amusement and leisure. Princely states and aristocratic personalities remaining their legacy and it was handed above to govt to preserve for a memento of their sovereignty. Museums developed as means that to keep up it in its archaic sense and also to get paid earnings outside of it. But the truth is, gradually with sound instruction and awareness-which goes hand in hand, visitors started off showing a lot more and even more desire in elucidating historic epoch and historical tradition.
Now if we glance at this dominating digital society, where by globe is almost transforming into handicapped and conquered by 3-D and 4-D technologies, I would mention that some museums are preserving its integrity and typical unwaveringly. For an instance, the century-old Prince of Wales museum (now greater recognised for a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalay-CSMVS) is attracting 1m readers a calendar year. Nevertheless, it happens to be backed very well by government subsidy and wealthy fund-raisers however it was generated probable owing to people's rising interest. Also government's smart conclusion to website link museum with all the BM, the Getty together with the La County Museum of Artwork performed instrumental job in refurbishment within the exact (The Economist 2013). I'd personally rather look at an extent declaring that with the arrival of the new age, classical or conventional museums (as it is thought) turn out to be the intrigued resource of historical magic and also have develop into far-famed. Civilized folk usually tend to come to be museum-fan in foreseeable future, specially children if I presume rightly, as museum will repeatedly feed their curiosity compared with electrical leisure which can confirm ho-hum a person day. Buyers are significantly turning into inquisitive and knowledge-hungry and concerned about attaining finest nuances which assist an individual have an understanding of everyday living close to him (Micklethwait 2013). What on earth is alot more, every one of these electronic providers have served significantly in retaining along with housing all age-old belongings in chronological and meticulous way. For an illustration, 'The Charles Dickens museum' was restored owing to its huge public demand from customers and renaissance was introduced about with exceptional assist of its supporters across the globe (Kennedy 2012). To put an alternative instance, as per American Alliance Museum, in 2012 American museum been given 850million prospects which are a bit more compared to the collective figure of activity occasions and topic parks. Exploration states that world wide level, conventional museums have witnessed 10million readers 2012, which outnumbered readers thronged museum in 2011 (Micklethwait 2013).
Yet, some historical and gothic museums are dropping their appeal(The National Museum Delhi, Kolkata's Indian museum) due to deficiency of appropriate routine maintenance and running from cash (The Economist 2013), but on the similar time added amount of museums, which are often participatory museums and mixture of natural and organic artefacts and technologies dependent that displays barbarous life style, getting opened to entice the intercontinental flow that's an exceedingly wise solution in relation to holding enculturation relocating and utilising it to spice up financial development (Simon n.d.).
Just one smallish bit of advice is it's significantly more than required to confirm the flow of folks in the direction of this cherished entity and so related personnel really have to be little bit adaptable in relation to retaining their fascination intact. It needs to render an unnerving graphic to which people are certain to connect. Museums comprise of social objects and therefore offer you a high quality know-how with the people. Museums are entity that delicately inspects all of the shades of background and convey it in crystalline way to its viewers. Classical museums symbolize identity of one's region and so of country-fellow.. It displays inheritance which supplies just one a way of belonging. Therefore, no way what amount hoopla is constructed inside the identify of engineering which has gone viral or exactly how much we are confined to this astonishing and mechanical form, on no account, classical museums are worthless or for the hazard of drying up. As an alternative systems have facilitated the conservation of these equivalent and cherished factors greatly, which is certainly perennial entity. Museums are cheap custom paper there to stay amid the flourishing high-tech globe.

Heart failure patient Tan Hui Keng, 71, needs to go to a hospital emergency ward whenever she starts getting breathless. This happens about two times a year.
Soon, a home-use device may be able to tell patients like Madam Tan very early whether their breathlessness is being brought on by potential heart failure or some other medical condition.
The device checks for fluid accumulation in the lungs, which causes breathlessness, and is one of the early symptoms of heart failure. It was developed by a team from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), which showcased the prototype yesterday.
All that patients have to do is to place a small sensor on their chest or back. This picks up sounds from their lungs and sends the sound signals through a mobile app to a server in the cloud. The server has an artificial intelligence algorithm that determines if the patient's lungs are clear or whether fluid is accumulating inside them.
The entire process takes a mere 10 seconds, said Associate Professor Ser Wee of NTU's School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Associate Professor David Foo, who is head of cardiology at TTSH, said the device can help to cut down on hospital admissions.
The current methods to detect fluid accumulation in the lungs either involve doctors using a stethoscope to listen to the patient's breathing - which can be subjective - or chest X-rays or CT scans, which are costly and time-consuming, he added.
Prof Foo estimates that the device stands to benefit between 30 per cent and 40 per cent of the around 5,000 patients admitted to hospitals here for heart failure every year.
Ten years in the making, the device has been shown to have a more than 92 per cent accuracy rate in identifying patients who have fluid accumulation in their lungs, based on a study of 86 TTSH patients from 2012 to 2015.
This is comparable to existing gold-standard diagnosis methods such as X-rays and CT scans.
The next step is to conduct a larger-scale study on around 300 TTSH patients, starting next month or early next year, said Prof Ser.
The team has filed a patent for the device. It has also been approached by a major pharmaceutical company as well as a multinational and local healthcare companies for possible collaborations.
Prof Ser said the device could cost patients between $100 and $200.
Another device that also monitors fluid accumulation in the lungs, but which uses resistance to electrical current, is being trialled by Israel-based company RS Medical Monitoring.
Lungs which contain a build-up of fluid are less resistant to electrical current than lungs which are healthy.
However, Prof Ser said that this method is less exact than the team's algorithm because the resistance to electrical current can also depend on other factors such as blood density and concentration, as well as tissue.

Charles Phoenix, Finding Kitsch in Kodachrome
No one takes slides anymore; their heyday was back in the '50s and '60s. But there are plenty of slides still hanging around, offering their distinct perspective on a certain period of Americana.
Charles Phoenix collects them and has revived the family slideshow, turning it into performance art.
The Los Angeles "histotainer," as he's sometimes called, tells Madeleine Brand about his colorful window into American culture.

Genre: Performing Arts - Radio
Edward Kennedy 'Duke' Ellington (1899 - 1974) was and still remains a powerfully influential figure in the world of music. Whether it was in jazz, popular song, big bands, or modern classical-form compositions, Ellington's orchestras always led the way, featuring stylish and innovative arrangements, memorable performances by a wide range of talented vocalists and solo performers, and the sheer showmanship of their handsome and charismatic leader. Radio always played a significant role in the popularity of Ellington's orchestras, whether it was the early 1930s weekly broadcasts from the Cotton Club, 1940s late-night remotes from ballrooms and hotels, or a string of guest appearances on popular network variety shows. However, toward the end of World War II, to promote the Seventh War Loan drive, the United States Treasury Department sponsored a series of broadcasts featuring live in-person performances by Ellington and his orchestra.

Today, the most common conventional treatments for lower back pain relief are medications, including NSAIDS like aspirin and Tylenol, along with more potent prescription painkillers, such analgesics. These drugs can potentially cause adverse side effects in some patients and commonly don't solve the underlying causes of lower back pain (such as poor posture, obesity or exercise-related strains). Some medications for back pains have even been tied to complications, such as liver damage or intestinal bleeding, when taken for long periods of time or in high doses.
Although it is fine to try these herbs while also taking a prescription arthritis or pain medication, if you go that route, Dr. Teitelbaum suggests using both the herb and medication for six weeks to reach the full effect of the herb. Then try tapering off the conventional pain medication to see if the herb alone can do the trick. Skip turmeric if you have gallstones.
Glucosamine is one of the most-studied supplements around the world for relief of arthritis symptoms and joint health. Sulfur is produced naturally in the body and is an essential component to joint health. Glucosamine sulfate is a type of glucosamine that is most useful in the support of joint mobility and pain relief because it absorbs well. Conversely, glucosamine chondroitin does not absorb in an amount significant enough to create enough of a change to make taking it worthwhile. Glucosamine sulfate works as well as NSAIDs for some people but without the negative effects to the gastrointestinal tract or liver.

It is a natural product which has been effectively used in the treatment of bone and muscle pain, in painful abnormalities resulting from spinal cord compression and as an analgesic medication following surgical interventions. It contains essential oils, alkaloid arnicine, glycosides, flavones, carotenes, mucilages and magnesia. Its main property is that it increases local blood flow due to its rubefacient effect, and its ability to relieve pain and improve muscle and nerve weakness. It is therefore very widely used for contusions, bumps, bruises, sprains, rheumatism, lower back pain, varicose veins, haemorrhoids and muscle pain.
Plant- and animal-derived nutraceutical preparations have been used for hundreds and even thousands of years to obtain effective pain relief. Herbal medications are becoming increasingly popular because of their relatively few side effects. Nevertheless, there are problems associated with these dietary supplements, and their use requires knowledge of their biological action, clinical studies (both affirmative and negative), and potential interactions with other nutraceutical products and prescription medications.
If you suffer from arthritis or other types of pain, you're probably all too familiar with drugs such as aspirin, Aleve, and Naproxen. All belong to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and all can be purchased without a prescription. But there is another related drug, available by prescription, you might want to talk with your doctor about: diclofenac, available as a gel, patch, or drop that you apply directly to your skin.

1. Capsaicin. Capsaicin creams and gels are made from chili peppers. They cause a mild to moderate burning sensation thought to alter nerves' ability to interpret pain by lowering the presence of a neurotransmitter called Substance P. Brand names including Capzasin and Zostrix are marketed for arthritis, backache, and other joint and muscle pains. These creams aren't generally associated with any adverse side effects though some patients may feel the heat more intensely than others.
Omega-3 EFA, found in fish oil, can directly reduce the degenerative enzymes, aggrecanase and matrix metalloproteinase, as well as IL-1, TNF-α, and COX-2, to reduce the inflammation in synovial cartilage. A recent study of 250 patients with cervical and lumbar disc disease, who were taking NSAIDs, revealed that 59% could substitute fish oil supplements as a natural anti-inflammatory agent for the NSAIDs.[71] The recommended dosage is a total of 1.5–5g of EPA and DHA per day, taken with meals.
The use of both over-the-counter and prescription nonsteroidal medications is frequently recommended in a typical neurosurgical practice. But persistent long-term use safety concerns must be considered when prescribing these medications for chronic and degenerative pain conditions. This article is a literature review of the biochemical pathways of inflammatory pain, the potentially serious side effects of nonsteroidal drugs and commonly used and clinically studied natural alternative anti-inflammatory supplements. Although nonsteroidal medications can be effective, herbs and dietary supplements may offer a safer, and often an effective, alternative treatment for pain relief, especially for long-term use.
"I had sciatic pain so bad that I went to a doctor for a 'series of three shots' (or so he said) for the pain, yet ten shots later the pain was still there. When a friend of mine gave me a tube of Relief pain cream that had a little left in it so I could give it a try I was so amazed at how effective it was in relieving my pain that I immediately called and ordered two tubes, and I will be asking my doctor to stock it—because I absolutely love this stuff!" *
Turmeric. This spice has been used to relieve arthritis pain and heartburn, and to reduce inflammation. It's unclear how turmeric works against pain or inflammation, but its activity may be due to a chemical called curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric is usually safe to use, but high doses or long-term use may cause indigestion. Also, people with gallbladder disease should avoid using turmeric.

After seven years of misery, and delving into every form of medicinal and healing treatment available, both orthodox and alternative, it was a homeopathic remedy which gave her a sudden, complete cure.

Snapchats and Instagram "likes" have become acceptable forms of flirting. That random date you ask someone on might be the start of a beautiful relationship.
A "like" on Instagram is way more common than a compliment in real life.
Date night has evolved from going out to dinner, playing putt-putt (a completely underrated pastime in my opinion) or doing anything relatively thoughtful, to watching Netflix and maybe ordering a pizza. Everyone is "talking" or "has a thing with someone" or is "kind of dating" that one guy from bio lab. You did better than the rest of us, stuck at home Snapchatting the person they're "talking to."I'm not saying that we all need to go out and ask every person we've ever thought was cute out on a date. Don't get mad over Instagram likes and Snapchat best friends.

Weight loss is tough under ideal circumstances, but you might have a condition that's sabotaging your efforts — imbalanced hormones. Find out what to do about this common problem so you can reach your goals.
Made up of cells, tissues, organs, and proteins throughout your body, your immune system is a complex network of soldiers on a constant lookout for foreign invaders.
When it detects something that doesn't belong, like when you breathe in an airborne virus, it launches a response that attacks the bacterium, toxin, or virus. Your immune system then forms antibodies that register and remember that particular foreign invader and mark it for destruction by other cells. This is why the common cold doesn't kill you and you can resist infection from a paper cut. This process is the concept behind vaccinations — giving your system a taste of a virus, so that it can create an antibody for it in the future, but not enough to make you sick.
A healthy immune system certainly gives you the best fighting odds if you do. That's where we come in. Our team of expert health care professionals at Balanced Medical Solutions specialize in optimizing your immune system to keep you in the best condition to battle anything that may come your way.
Under normal circumstances, your immune system does a great job recognizing and fighting off infections, but there are many things that can compromise your immune system so it's not working at peak capacity. Our team here in Hayward, California, recognizes those areas of weakness and wants to offer you ways to optimize your immune system.
Many people don't realize the intricate connection between hormones and wellness. Your hormones are responsible for critical body functions such as metabolism, cell renewal, growth, sexual functions, mood, sleep cycles, and more.
If you're running low on estrogen or testosterone, it will affect you in some obvious ways, like a lower libido and night sweats, to name a few symptoms. But it will also suppress your immune system and lower your defenses against antigens.
Our expert providers can diagnose your hormone deficiencies and offer you bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to get you back in balance.
Nearly every choice you make affects your immune system. Whether and how much you smoke, drink alcohol, or take illicit drugs; whether you exercise or stay sedentary; even how you handle personal relationships and conflicts at work that cause mental and emotional stress all contribute positively or negatively to your immune system's ability to do its job.
One of the primary choices you can make to keep your immune system strong is to feed it—and feed it well. This means a healthy diet of lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and reduced fats and sugars. When you deprive your body of valuable micronutrients like essential vitamins and minerals, you put your immune system at a grave disadvantage.
We can help correct these nutrient deficiencies with our specialized immune boosting protocols, including:
Whether you're missing some key micronutrients because of age, illness, a poor diet, or a harsh lifestyle, we can restore your balance and get you back on a healthy track.
Our team is offering three specials to help you boost your immunity and get ready to fight any antigens that might come your way. Mention this blog to receive these specials:
These specials are a great deal, but are only available for a limited time— these offers end April 30, 2020. Call us at 510-679-3300 to set up an appointment soon, so that your immune system can stay healthy and strong.

It was learnt yesterday that the police have discovered where the kidnappers who abducted 10 students and staff of the Nigerian Turkish International College are keeping their hostages.
A top police source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the identities of the kidnappers had also been uncovered.
The location, he added, was in the creeks, but detectives who were on the abductors' trail could not access the place for fear of endangering the captives.
"We know the exact location in the creek where the children and members of staff are kept but we cannot storm the place because the lives of the children are in danger.
"We would not make mistake of attempting the creek because there is no how the kidnappers will not see us coming and they may end up killing their victims. We need the assistance of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) and the Nigerian Army, who we think have the wherewithal to penetrate the creek through the air," he said.
Another police source disclosed that the identities of the abductors were known.
He said, "We have met with families and relatives of some of the kidnappers who are currently speaking with them. We have gone to Ondo, Delta and Edo States to consult with their families. I think the families are cooperating and are assisting us in talking to them.
"But if this option fails, we will not have any other reason not to use our plan B, which we can't disclose but will yield positive results. Their identities are well known and they know we know them. But we are using wisdom for the sake of the innocent children.
"We are not happy that they are playing with the lives of innocent children. They are taking the joke too far and the whole world is watching. The most annoying thing is that one of the students is a sickle cell anaemia patient and she is seriously sick at the moment."
Also, the Nigeria Air Force (NAF) yesterday urged the police to make a formal request for assistance in the rescue operation.
NAF Director of Public Relations Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa, said: "This is not a problem. The police should go to the appropriate authorities and put their request forward to the Air Force. It is not an issue. They know the procedures."
Meanwhile, the school's spokesperson, Cemal Yigit debunked insinuations that it had foreknowledge of the abduction.
He said suggestions that the management of the school was not serious about security issues around the school were unfounded and that nobody warned the school authority before the kidnappers' invasion.
It was learnt on Monday that the kidnappers had reduced their demand of N1.2 billion ransom to N750 million.
Relatives of the Nigerian victims were requested to pay N50 million each while N200 million was demanded as ransom for that of the Turkish Mathematics teacher, Miss Deria.

MNZ hosts U.S. Coast Guard Chief
Safe Seas Clean Seas Issue 45, December 2013
The visit provided an opportunity for the two agencies to share boat safety initiatives and discuss the challenges associated with their programmes' success and effectiveness.
The discussions revealed that both agencies face many of the same issues and experiences within the recreational boating area.
"While there are significant differences between the United States and New Zealand in many ways, when you just focus on people going out on boats, the issues are remarkably similar," said MNZ Director Keith Manch.
"But the scale of the United States recreational boating sector and the number of people engaged in this activity means that there is an enormous amount of experience in the United States that we can learn from. Reducing fatalities, injuries and property losses in recreational boating are objectives for both agencies when it comes to safety initiatives," said Keith.
In the country from 3–8 September, Jeff's visit included participating in the National Pleasure Boat Safety Forum meeting, and presenting at the International Water Safety and Aquatic Education Conference in Queenstown.
He also presented to members of the maritime industry in Wellington, discussing the management of the National Recreational Boating Safety Program in the United States, where nearly 76 million people are involved in recreational boating.
The programme was established after data showed the number of recreational boating deaths had been relatively stagnant for 13 years, driving the USCG to find and implement initiatives that reduced deaths at a more aggressive pace.
Schemes to increase lifejacket wear (particularly on motorboats), enhance compliance with navigation rules, and reduce boating under the influence were just some of the programme's methods to achieve their five-year targets in reducing injuries, deaths and casualties.
Jeff also praised MNZ – noting the success of the "Don't be a clown – wear a lifejacket" campaign, and the commitment from staff to promoting safety in the recreational boating sector.
"I was so impressed by the expertise of your entire staff, and the passion with which so many in your community strive to improve maritime and water safety for the benefit of the public," said Jeff.
"You have an exceptional programme and the opportunity to engage with MNZ has provided the USCG and myself with a wealth of information to assist in our efforts – along with a lifetime of wonderful memories."
Jeff Hoedt was appointed as Chief, Boating Safety Division of USCG in October 2007. His responsibilities include providing the guidance and leadership required to carry out the development, coordination and implementation of the National Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Program and to oversee the Coast Guard's efforts at reducing fatalities, injuries and property losses in recreational boating in the United States.

The Gold Lion Film Festival presents the latest achievements in short films and videos from Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and elsewhere in the world. All genres of shorts subjects are presented.
The festival's original purpose was to overcome the limitations of commercial film distribution in the region, which is largely restricted to mainstream blockbuster films, and to introduce innovative filmmakers to a new audience and the excitement of today's Africa.
The Gold Lion Film Festival has become more - a way for African filmmakers to come to world attention and for world filmmakers to have their work showed on a continent where few opportunities for exhibition exist. Film festivals from four continents are either partnering with the festival or using us for programming ideas.
The governments of several nations have found the festival an exciting venue to showcase their filmmakers' works. (The Gold Lion Film Festival is Swaziland's largest cultural exchange.) In 2007, special screenings were devoted to French, Italian,Taiwanees and American films, sponsored by the governments of those countries. (Films shown were entirely chosen by the festival selection committee from festival entries.) Portugal is among new nations that have expressed interest in screenings of their own filmmakers at the 2008 festival.
Beyond the festival itself, this organisation is dedicated to the advancement of film scholarship, both critical and production, and cinema appreciation throughout Southern Africa. The educational and cultural programmes of the festival continue throughout the year, bringing film to rural communities and disadvantaged groups. Submitted films, including some not chosen for screening at the festival, are shown at special screenings, some dedicated to social issues like Women's Rights, HIV/AIDS and artistic accomplishment, or at workshops for filmmaker education. Filmmakers' permissions are obtained before these screenings.

A HOTEL in Batley where teenage girls were drugged and raped has had its license revoked.
The Alder House Hotel on Towngate Road, Healey, is now banned from serving alcohol and hosting events.
It can though still operate as a B&B. The decision was made by Kirklees Council's licensing committee last Friday.
Nadeem Hussain, manager of the hotel since September and who had no involvement in the scandal, is appealing the decision.
It comes after two men were jailed for a total of 36 years for abusing vulnerable girls they picked up in Keighley in 2011.
Shazad Rehman, 30, and 23-year-old Bilal Hussain plied their victims with drink and drugs at hotels including Alder House.
A trial at Bradford Crown Court heard they took three 14-year-old girls there several times.
The licensing action, held at Dewsbury Town Hall, was delayed until the end of court proceedings to prevent it prejudging the trial.
Coun Mumtaz Hussain (Lab, Dewsbury South) and Coun Steve Hall (Lab, Heckmondwike) were among those on the licensing panel.
They heard evidence from PC Richard Woodhead, of Kirklees Police, about further trouble at the hotel.
He said: "They say this was an historical event, but in the last 12 months we've 16 incident logs relating to the Alder House Hotel.
"These include two breaches of the peace, one hate crime, one theft and one allegation of rape on an adult female."
Supt Ged McManus, also of Kirklees Police, is now to lead a crackdown on child sex exploitation involving hotels.
He said: "We'll be visiting every hotel and licensed premises in Kirklees and having a conversation with the managers about their responsibilities.
"We don't want any other premises ending up in the same position as the Alder House Hotel."
Paul Normandale, for Mr Hussain, said his client had transformed the hotel since the allegations came to light.
Mr Hussain told the hearing he condemned the "despicable crimes" and is "sick and tired of the hotel being associated with paedophiles."

Is a Jew allowed to live in a place which has brazen Avodah Zarah? I'm talking about places like India, China and Cambodia. While Christians worship idols as well they say that doing so is wrong. I'm talking about living amongst people who not only worship idols but say that it is the right thing to do. What is the halacha on this?
Active 1 year, 6 months ago

1Thanks for the edit. I'm uncertain of there being an outright halacha against this. I'm sure that if the government coerced people into practicing idolatry, one shouldn't live there or if already there, one should leave, if possible. (Esp. in cases where one might be killed for not performing idolatry, as one cannot intentionally "kill himself".) Barring that, The Tosefta that's included in Siddurim as the "Pirkei Avot ch. 6" cites a story that one should not live anywhere that is completely devoid of Torah. That's "stricter" than an A.Z. place. – DanF Feb 8 '19 at 16:29
3@DanF That case isn't really comparable. There could be a place with a strong Jewish community but where the non-Jews are deeply into idolatry. Bavel was that way for many centuries until Islam showed up. – Heshy Feb 8 '19 at 17:32

Most consumers often think that running a restaurant is a pretty lucrative business. However, it is true; it is a constant battle to manage your expenses so that your bottom line does not vanish entirely.
Are you facing a similar problem?
One of the major expenses of any restaurant is the food cost. You can look at your restaurant expenses spreadsheet all day but still have no idea to reduce the money you are spending. If you, as a restaurateur, can manage the food costs, you can expand your bottom line quarter on quarter. However, it is easier said than done. So, we will today share eight things you can do to help manage food costs. Once you follow these actionable tips, it will become easy to expand your margins by reducing the food costs.
No, we aren't asking you to reduce the food quality. We will share with you concrete steps that you can undertake without compromising on the quality of the dishes you serve.
Do you keep track of prices of your food?
You cannot run a successful restaurant without keeping track of food prices. Not only that, you also have to be aware of the events in your city and most importantly your country, which can make the prices skyrocket. While this will not help you avoid high costs, it will allow you to plan your menu better so that a single event does not put you into the red.
You might be wondering, how can you do so?
The best way is to use the Internet to your advantage. It will let you know about any disruptions in the supply chain, as well as an impulse in the prices of food. Without even going out of your business premises, you can plan your food procurement costs in a much better way.
We're not asking you to cut down on the inventory. We are asking you to manage your inventory better. Rather than using a manual method, it is a good idea to invest in a good inventory management software.
The inventory management software will allow you to exploit the past procurement and usage trends of your restaurant to predict your future purchases. It will help you in optimizing your food purchases and therefore bringing the food cost down. In addition to that, here are a few other tips that you can follow to manage your inventory better:
These few tips will not only allow you to manage your inventory better but will also let you know about your inventory expenses right away. Managing everything in terms of £ rather than just using an itemized list will provide you with vital insights regarding the food costs. It will allow you to know where you can cut back on food costs without having to compromise on the quality or the availability of supply.
The step which we are highlighting now is only valid if you use a proper inventory management system. Once you have done this for at least a couple of months, you will know the quantity of food which you need. Once you know that, it will be easy for you to negotiate with your food suppliers without overpromising on the orders. Thus, it will be easier to negotiate better rates. The savings will get directly added to your bottom line, which will help you improve your restaurant.
Are your food suppliers not budging on the food cost?
If yes, you have another alternative as well. Now that you are aware of the number of turnarounds for your inventory, you can think about buying in bulk. This will only work for non-perishable items. While it might come with an upfront cost, by managing your inventory, the extra margins due to reduced food costs will make it well worth it. However, without vital inventory management insights, you will not be able to buy in bulk.
Thus, you have these two options when it comes to negotiating with the food suppliers to reduce the food costs.
Have you ever thought about joining a group purchasing organization?
These organizations consists of various restaurateurs who pool capital to buy the ingredients which you often need. It helps them in negotiating better and getting bulk prices. Also, another advantage is that you will not have to hold up on the supplies. You can buy what you need precisely. That is why, without putting in extra capital, you can get better prices.
There are a few other advantages of joining such organizations as well. These includes:
Moreover, if you have a sizable purchasing power, there is no upfront fee for joining such organizations as well.
You might be thinking, how is staff training associated with food cost?
There is a connection. If you observe the utilization of materials and other ingredients through your restaurant, you will notice that a significant portion of wastage occurs when employees are handling the supplies. Due to this very reason, better training your staff can certainly help you reduce wastage
These four simple training tips will help you in cutting back on food wastage by at least 20%. Also, you can conduct such training sessions once every six months, which means it will not cost a lot either.
Better training can certainly help you bring down your food costs and provide you with a competitive advantage.
Were you aware of the hidden costs of running a restaurant?
In terms of food costs, these are often associated with the ingredients which you pay the least attention to. Some of those ingredients include:
When was the last time you took their cost into account?
Many restaurateurs ignore their costs altogether because they are quite affordable on a stand-alone basis. However, these ingredients are widely used in every restaurant. It means that while they might be affordable on an individual basis but cumulatively, they can account for up to 10% of the food costs.
Don't you think you should try to reduce this cost as well?
We're not asking you to reduce their quality but to negotiate a better deal with your vendors for such items. Since you might be purchasing them in bulk already, it is better to try and negotiate a better deal. It can easily add .5% or 1% to your restaurant's bottom line. Since many restaurateurs simply ignore these, they constitute the hidden costs that you have to deal with while running your restaurant. When you optimize these hidden costs as well, you are bound to keep the food costs down and expand the bottom line.
Do you prefer to buy raw ingredients or prepped ingredients for your restaurant?
Many restaurant owners prefer to buy pre-prepared ingredients for your restaurant. However, if you want to manage your food costs, it is a good idea to buy raw ingredients. It will help you bring down your costs.
On the flip side, your staff might have some extra work on their hands to process raw ingredients. However, even after considering the staff costs, you will be able to save money on food costs when you buy raw ingredients.
You might be thinking, what are some examples of such ingredients? Worry not! We will share with you such examples as well.
These are just some examples of ingredients that you can buy raw rather than in the ready-made form. It will help you cut back on your food costs and will also provide you with more value for your money.
One thing which you need to keep in mind is that food wastage adds a lot to the food cost of your restaurant. That is why rationalizing portion size is a good idea.
You might be wondering, how can you do so? There are a few simple steps to determine whether the portion size in your restaurant is adequate or whether it is large than required.
These two insights will let you know whether you need to think about rationalizing the portion size or not. You need to keep in mind that there is a delicate line between rationalizing the portion size and not providing value for money to your patrons. That is why rationalizing the portion size on a gradual basis is important.
Bringing down the food costs of your restaurant is not as difficult as it seems. When you use the eight methods to do so, you can be sure that you can easily save money on food costs and add the same to your bottom line. These tips will get you through your restaurant monthly expenses You can achieve all of this without affecting the experience of the patrons or food quality. It is time to make your restaurant efficient with the help of our guide above.

Interventions (II)
Chihuahua State, Mexico
Nuevo León State, Mexico
Malmö, Sweden
Ceará State, Brazil
El Salvador *
London, UK *
Bermuda *
Background and Introduction
NNSC significantly broadened the scope of its network in 2017 with the launch of an international portfolio. International Interventions collaborates with a diverse range of partners outside the U.S. on effective strategies to increase community safety and reduce violence. Just as we do domestically, "International Interventions" provides evidence-based violence reduction solutions to help partners reverse negative trends. Distinct from our U.S. work, our international portfolio requires significant country-based adaptation, taking into account variations in social norms, histories of violence, institutional capacity and legitimacy, and more. While our international work extends more broadly, to date International Interventions has worked in Bermuda and completed a feasibility study in El Salvador. We are in current partnership with Mexico and Sweden. By building coalitions of key stakeholders in communities, sharing knowledge among cities in the NNSC network, and consulting with subject matter experts, "International Interventions" is playing a meaningful role in addressing global violence.
Guided by our six key principles, we take steps to learn from our partners in an effort to fully understand the challenges they face. These steps include action research and convening local thought leaders who will work with us to adapt the framework to their context. Building coalitions of key stakeholders in the community, knowledge sharing with other cities in our network, and consulting with subject matter experts are different ways we support our partners. The goal is to achieve sustainable impact through leveraging and reallocating existing resources and social capital to implement the strategy, rather than relying on significant additional funding.
At International Interventions, we believe that successful violence reduction must be a collective effort across institutions and communities. Effective violence reduction hinges on the legitimacy of state institutions in the eyes of the community—when legitimacy goes down, violence goes up. Communities need to see law enforcement, especially the police, as fair, respectful, and on their side. Our work in the United States continuously addresses questions of legitimacy in cities and communities that have been historically marginalized and where institutions have struggled to meet the needs and demands of the people they serve. International Interventions brings this understanding of how legitimacy issues play out in practice to our global network.
As a global community we have committed to certain principles of human rights, global development, and international cooperation. We believe that NNSC approaches can be a positive part of the solution to violence outside the U.S., just as they have been a part of the solution to reducing violence within the U.S.
Effective Violence Prevention: Progress and Practice in Non-U.S. Contexts
This panel from the 2017 NNSC National Conference discusses applications and challenges in contexts as diverse as Sweden, Honduras, Bermuda, El Salvador, and Mexico, while also exploring how government officials and communities are organizing to address those challenges.
