A consultation of 35 bishops and Church leaders from 20 countries, on 29 October 2015 in Munich, Germany, will discuss the international refugee crisis.
The World Council of Churches (WCC) has invited representatives from churches in the most affected regions including the Middle East and Africa, and from most of the Church families in Europe: Orthodox, Catholics, Lutherans, Reformed and Methodist. There will also be representatives from ecumenical organisations and Church-based humanitarian and refugee organisations.
The one-day consultation will address how Christians in the different churches in Europe, the Middle East and Africa can deal appropriately with the challenges facing the refugees, as well for the people living in the receiving countries.
It will also question how the churches can express themselves as far as possible with one voice in conversations with governments and in public declarations.
In order to enable an open exchange of views, the consultations are not open to the public.
For more details see the WCC website.

I am worried about the escalation of rhetoric with regard to the British EU referendum.
In my humble opinion, this is very much a function of the discourse of 'facts' that has characterised the debate from the beginning. Give me facts, we say, then I can decide. And yes, there's no doubt that fact-verification sites are available (some of them crowd-sourced, which are particularly useful).
However, as Latour has shown us, for all the good and important clamour for 'facts', the issue must be defined in terms of 'values'. The argument for remaining is not easily quantified, as it is to do with nebulous benefits such as interconnectedness, global security and diplomatic generosity. In my opinion, Remain has allowed itself to be displaced onto the domain of facts alone. Since the facts are highly contested and difficult to determine, as is the case for everything that is future-orientated and therefore contingent, the debate is vulnerable to rhetoric and hegemonic appropriation. I hope Remain will be able to introduce the discourse of values soon, well before 23rd June. 'What kind of future do we wish to have?', must be our question. Instead, we have the awful spectacle of calculations that are framed in terms of the self: economic self-interest, political self-interest, geopolitical self-interest, trade self-interest, and so on. I am waiting for some articulation of the issue in terms of 'non-self-interest' from my own Christian constituency too: so far, it has done nothing but ape the same rhetoric, alas.
European union is the truly progressive position. For me, a decision to leave implies 'withdrawal', 'protectivism', 'provincialism' and even 'nationalism'. It would be a return to the European globe, to the Onus Orbis Terrarum, and a denial of all that Sloterdijkian explicitation, world-building, has taught us. It's no coincidence that Trump is weighing in on the Brexit side; the ideological impetus behind both is contiguous. On the contrary, a decision to remain implies 'commitment', 'interconnectedness', and even 'mutual submission'.
Matters of fact are a poor proxy of experience and of experimentation and, I would add, a confusing bundle of polemics, of epistemology, of modernist politics that can in no way claim to represent what is requested by a realist attitude.Latour, 'Why has critique run out of steam?', p.244.

Manorexia alert: Are men starving themselves to become thin?
As the chiselled pin-up boy defines the new sexy, more men than ever are starving themselves to become thin.health and fitness Updated: Feb 19, 2015 19:51 IST
Girls, you are not alone in the cruel world of body myths and evasive perfection. Someone's having it worse. For ages, women have tormented themselves to meet the pressure of looking picture perfect, right from starving to going under the knife in a bid to conform to what's desirable and trendy.
Now, men want to be perfect, too, and they want it really badly. And perfection, in the current scheme of things, equals thin. In a worrying trend, a growing number of men are going for days without food to become skinny. Male anorexia, or 'manorexia' as it has been dubbed, is a life threatening eating disorder that's affecting millions of young men across the world.
"Both psychological research and clinical practice have shown a 40% increase in manorexia in the recent years. A few years ago, we hardly came across any manorexic patient. However, nowadays I get to see at least five patients in a month who are manorexic," says psychologist Pulkit Sharma.
While the influence of good looking male models is pushing men to crazy limits to lose weight, there may be other deeper causes behind it which set the stage for eating disorders.
"Many men struggle with intense emotions due to experiences like abuse, bullying and emotional deprivation. They become preoccupied with imaginary defects in their body. This makes them feel in control," says Sharma.
"Parents having unrealistic expectations from children, and traumatic events like sexual, physical or emotional abuse also worsen the disorder," says fitness expert Prachi Agarwal, who observes a shocking rise in the cases of male anorexics in the recent years.
Defeating manorexia
The biggest challenge of this fast growing disorder is that the diagnosis is hard and finding treatment is even harder. Despite alarming stats, people continue to believe that anorexia is associated with waifish teenage girls. Male anorexia is one of the least talked about disorders. Also, there aren't many experts in India who specialise in treating male anorexia.
A victim of manorexia
Diet rehab
Seek help from a psychotherapist who specialises in the treatment. Also go for diet rehabilitation, which means getting a diet expert to create a calorie based program that helps you eat right. It starts with minimum calories and then gradually increases calories over a period of time. It is a long drawn process but can be very effective in the long run.
Akash's story
Four months ago, Akash Goel (name changed), a 22-year-old student started worrying about excessive fat on his chest. He suspected that he was suffering from gynecomastia (male breast) and went to see a plastic surgeon who refused him surgery. However, Akash remained preoccupied. He exercised rigorously (4 hours of intense cardio every day) and limited his food intake to 500 calories. Despite losing a lot of weight, he felt that there was fat on his chest. Akash wanted a sculpted chest and felt 'hollow and incomplete' without it.
"I started using a laxative to shed fat. My life centered on improving my physique. I felt that I was no good and no girl would like me," he says. Akash has been showing signs of improvement after therapy.
Fashion's thin-spiration
While most women would probably vote for the conventional male physical ideal: broad, bulky and strong, thanks to loads of thin-spiration from the fashion world, the skinny man has suddenly become sexy, promoting a distorted body image. From the ever shrinking waist sizes to slim cuts to that model on the global ramp who looks like an underfed sixteen something with his toothpick legs, sunken cheeks and visible rib cage, everyone's glorifying skinny. No wonder the thin man propaganda has seeped into the mainstream, making manorexia a serious cause of concern for health experts across the world.
In 2010, British mannequin company Rootstein launched male mannequins with 27inch waists and 35inch chests. The Homme Nouveau mannequins were severely criticised, as experts feared that they would encourage men to starve.
There's hope
Some two years ago, 22-year-old Danny Walsh from UK became obsessed with weight loss while striving to become the best football player. He shrunk to a shocking 30 kg. He decided to take charge of his life and beat anorexia. He went for diet rehabilitation and took up body building to gain weight. The 24-year-old now weighs 63 kg, and makes sure to meet his daily nutritional needs.
Do you know a manorexic?
* Watch out for these symptoms:
* Extreme dissatisfaction with one's body image
* Obsession with plastic surgery
* Excessive preoccupation with improving physique through diet, exercise and use of laxatives
* Fatophobia: the constant fear of putting on weight
* Believing that some body parts (abdomen, chest and hips) have excessive fat deposits
* Low self-confidence, sadness and anxiety
* Low body weight
* Feeling that one is no good, withdrawing from society. Feeling extremely helpless and hopeless.
Manorexics often become obsessed with surgeries in order to get a sculpted body. Rodrigo Alves from UK, dubbed as Human Ken, recently revealed that teasing for his 'breasts' made him go for surgical sculpting to look 'perfect'. Alves has had 30 surgeries, piling up an expense of Rs19 crore.

The plants in the Queen's Garden are exclusively those grown in Britain before and during the 17th century.
The plant labelling differs from Kew's norm. They include not only today's botanical name and family, but also the common name in the 17th century plus a virtue or quotation from a herbal (plant book).
There are several pieces of sculpture in the garden including a marble satyr, a Venetian well head and five 18th-century terms, commissioned by HRH Frederick, Prince of Wales in 1734–5. These are considered to be the oldest pieces of sculpture at Kew.
Enclosed in box hedges is a parterre with a pond at the centre. In the pond stands a copy of Verocchio's 'Boy with a Dolphin', the original of which is in Florence's Palazzo Vecchio.
The garden was conceived in 1959 by Kew Director Sir George Taylor, and officially opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II ten years later.
In May and June the display of flowers on the laburnum pergola is spectacular. Its golden yellow and sweet scented flowers, appearing in chains (racemes) up to 25 cm long.
One of Britain's most popular flowering trees, the common laburnum is also among the most poisonous.

The Old Passage
The Old Passage, for centuries the site of the ford across the River Severn, is now better known for our seafood restaurant with rooms. Set at the end of a pennisula on a great ox-bow bend, we overlook the River and on it's far bank, the small town of Newnham-on-Severn with the hills of the ancient Forest of Dean and the iconic May Hill offering a dramatic backdrop.
Old Passage Fish
We are predominantly a seafood restaurant and many years ago much of our fish would have come from the Severn. Salmon and elvers are now sadly in short supply and rarely feature on our menu.
However, Mark Redwood, our chef takes pride in using sustainably sourced fish and shell fish. There is always lobster fresh from our own tanks coming predominantly from Cornwall. Freshly shucked oysters and our famous Fruits de Mers are particular specialities of the Old Passage.

How to Recover Lost Data from Raw File System on Mac
Sometimes when we try to access hard drive, USB drive or memory card, a popup dialogue box is shown as: "The disk in drive is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?" In this situation, the file system is shown as "RAW" when we check the disk property. If we click "No", the partition cannot be accessed. On contrary, if we click "Yes", of course, we will lose all of the files stored on this partition. Then, you may ask: "Is there any method to rescue this RAW, How to achieve raw recovery operation on Mac?" Here we will provide some information to recover data from raw file system.
What's Raw File System?
Since our files get lost due to RAW file system, what is RAW file system? RAW file system is not a regular file system in operating system. RAW file system is a system error which presents a problem of our computers and makes our files inaccessible. SD card can become RAW and not readable in computer, external hard drive can become RAW if we insert it to PC and any other storage media has the possibility to fell into RAW file system problems.
The reasons caused raw file system can be many, such as virus infection, format failure, improper system shut down, power outages, etc. In these processes the file system may be corrupted and the file system may become RAW that cannot be recognized by computer. So you cannot store data on it or even access it.
What is Raw Recovery and When to Use?
Raw recovery means to read files without reference to an operating system. So after using raw recovery function to scan the hard drive, the list of lost files will be displayed in a tree according to the file type. The Raw scan mode can locate the files without the aid of file system.
Normal data recovery method cannot scan a drive which has suffered a serious corruption or overwriting. As I stated above, raw data recovery is reading without reference to an operating system. Therefore, you can choose to use raw file recovery after operating system corruption and overwriting. In the same way, raw data recovery will still work when the temporary copies are creating, because it can recover deleted files and data from the partition where operating system and applications are installed.
Perform Raw Recovery
uFlysoft Data Recovery for Mac is a powerful raw recovery software, which can perform RAW data recovery while the normal recovery methods are of no effect. It can also recover deleted, lost, damaged and formatted data from hard drive or partition. Even if you have written new data into that hard drive or partition, uFlysoft Raw Recovery still find its directory tree from hard drive.
Log on our official website http://www.uflysoft.com to get more details about Mac lost data recovery whenever you want.

Sid The Kid
I see that Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins had a Gordie Howe Hat Trick last night against the Boston Bruins. For those who don't know- a Gordie Howe Hat Trick is a goal, an assist and a fight in one game. He did that and better. The Pens won the game in OT after blowing a 4 goal lead. I am always happy to see Ex UNH players do well. Ty Conklin was in net for the Pens having just been recalled from Wilkes-Barre.

Virtual Reality and Immersive Media
Virtual Reality (VR) and 360 video are reshaping the media landscape, changing our daily lives and the way we interact with each other. They are creating a fertile business environment, enabling new social and interactive VR formats, where viewers connect more empathically with the content and with others. The combination of photorealistic capture techniques and immersive displays result in a new set of research challenges. In particular, DIS focuses on novel strategies for compression and transmission of real-time reconstructed 3D data in Internet infrastructures, and on the objective and subjective evaluation of such technologies. Our work, partly distributed as open source, has led to the start of a consumer industry standardization activity in Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) on point cloud compression, serving as the basis to generate the anchors included in the recent call for proposals. All these activities and results position DIS as a leading expert on immersive media technologies and QoE evaluation.Read more
Social IoT and Smart Textiles
We live in a society based on experiences. Whether we look at a commercial for a holiday destination or interact with social media, the consumer experience plays a crucial role in our behavior. Yet, it is surprising to see how little it is actually known about how consumers value these experiences. The high-end technical solutions for shaping experiences sharply contrast with the rather conventional mechanisms used to measure them. DIS explores the use of smart textiles and wearable sensors as a source for collecting reliable and quantified data about everyday life experiences. In particular, we are interested on better understanding social IoT in the environment of smart cities. Based on realistic testing grounds, collaborating with several commercial and academic partners, we have deployed our technology and infrastructure in places such as the National Theatre of China in Shanghai and the Amsterdam Dance Event in the Netherlands. Our approach is to seamless connecting fashion and textiles with sensing technology, and with the environment. The final objective is to create intelligent and empathic systems that can react to the audience and their experience.Read more
Multi-Screen Media Production, Consumption and Sharing
Technological advances are resulting in a complex media ecosystem, in which streaming media can reach a variety of end-devices using a heterogeneous set of delivery methods. Such development allows ubiquitous media consumption, where users to consume digital content via a connected ecosystem of devices, whenever they want and wherever they are. Still many challenges remain at the production, distribution, and user levels. DIS is developing novel mechanisms for group-based consumption, enriching, and sharing of media content. This results in research breakthroughs such as production tools for facilitating "on demand" temporal media-based compilations for multi-screen consumption of media, optimization algorithms for ubiquitous rendering of media based on the user context and intention, and seminal works on secondary screens and social TV.Read more
Quality of Experience
In Quality of Experience (QoE) we want to understand how the quality of a system or service affects the experience of users. When does a long delay in tele-communication disrupt the conversation and when do we not even notice at all? How much bandwidth does a videostream need that we really feel we are getting a better quality? It turns out, to understand the experience of users, taking personal and situational factors into account is as important as the actual quality of the system. Media consumption has become a ubiquitous part of life and if we want to optimize our systems understanding the interplay of situation, personality and system quality is a key requirement.Read more
Experience Aware Networking
Experience Aware Networking leverages novel network paradigms (i.e. Software Defined Networking) and the state-of-the-art of Quality of Experience (QoE) research to optimize the experience of users in adaptive media applications. Video is already the #1 traffic source in the Internet and new services are emerging rapidly, such as VR or AR. As a consequence, networks suffer from bottlenecks due too heavy traffic loads, too many users, or a combination of both. Current network resource allocation techniques, such as bitrate-fairness or client-based adaptation algorithms, do not translate in overall user experience optimization. We create QoE-aware models, optimization algorithms, and software prototypes with the aim of understanding how these applications scale and how network resources can be managed to improve the QoE of users.Read more

Digital publishing
The mission of the recently formed Publishing Working Group (https://www.w3.org/publishing/groups/publ-wg/) from W3C (https://www.w3.org) is to enable all publications — with all their specificities and traditions — to become first-class entities on the Web. The WG will provide the necessary technologies on the Open Web Platform to make the combination of traditional publishing and the Web complete in terms of accessibility, usability, portability, distribution, archiving, offline access, and reliable cross-referencing. A Web Publication is considered as a collection of (Web) resources, organized together through a manifest into a single logical work with a default reading order. Ivan Herman from CWI has played a seminal role in the creation of this new activity, and is now part of the technical leadership and the management of this activity, in cooperation with core players of the Web as well as the publishing industries.Read more
Web technologies at W3C
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Web has become an essential part of modern society. The presence of researchers has always been seen as essential in the development of the Web and CWI is proud to have contributed actively to this evolution. CWI has been active in the development of HTML, CSS, SMIL, RDF, RDFa, XForms, OWL, R2RML, SPARQL and many more. Beyond the participation in the relevant Working Groups, members of the DIS group have also acted as Working Group (co-)chairs, as well as activity leads for HTML and the Semantic Web within W3C. Current activities concentrate on the further development of the XForms standard, designing declarative techniques for representing functionality in network-based documents, and applying web-related methods to managing the Internet of Things.Read more

Margaret Thatcher once wisely said, "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."
Margaret Thatcher
Margaret Thatcher had it right, the more you claim, the less you probably are. The recent march of the 'pussyhat' protesters seemed to confirm that. Carrying signs with disgusting slogans and demeaning anyone that disagreed with them doesn't leave one with a feeling of any real accomplishment. A peaceful discussion, common sense, and a sense of fair play might promote conversation but how can one do so with the yelling and shoving that goes on once you are perceived as a 'non-believer'?
The event was promoted as a way for ALL women to come together and voice their needs, desires, wants, etc., as citizens of the United States. Unfortunately, their cause lost some 'moral' traction when they only allowed their agenda to be heard and disrespected the women who advocated pro-life. Seems to me that the pro-life women were fighting for the future women the other marchers were fighting so hard to have aborted.

Following an increased interest in the last few days for the "One Minute Athens" competition, the submission deadline is extended to November 15, 2018. At the beginning of the autumn, the Benaki Museum received many requests from interested parties who were not able to submit their participation in due time. Therefore the Museum decided to extend the competition deadline so that those wishing to participate would have the opportunity to do so.
In the city.
Athens has as many faces as the eyes that gaze upon it: The Acropolis with the Anafiotika. Ancient monuments and modern apartment blocks, buildings neoclassical or modernist. Neighbourhoods, streets and squares. Architectural interventions, historical developments and random initiatives. Buildings bustling with life, others abandoned. Murals, graffiti, walls turned into myths.
The city from above, the city from within. Which is its architectural identity?
In the Modern Greek Architecture Archives of the Benaki Museum, Athens is omnipresent. It emerges from drawings, models, photographs and manuscripts, documents on the architecture and urban planning dating from the late 19th century to this day. The Benaki Museum team catalogues this valuable material in order to make it widely accessible. All the while, it wishes to share its love for Athens with you!
Through your mobile phone.
The public and private spaces of Metropolitan Athens emerge and get highlighted through your mobile phone camera. The Benaki Museum invites Athenians and all those who love the city as their own to send their 'own minute' of Athens: A silent video not exceeding 1 minute in duration, shot with any type of mobile phone in vertical format. We are inviting your view of Athens today, in particular your view of its architectural identity through animated images that focus on details of a subject that interests you and which you find worth focusing on (buildings, squares, monuments, interiors and exteriors, the beachfront, the city centre, etc.).
The most interesting entries will be selected by a jury, of two architects, Rena Sakellar;idou and Elena Zervoudakis, two film directors, Argyris Papathanasopoulos and Syllas Tzoumerkas and the curator of the event, film critic Theodore Koutsogiannopoulos. They will be showcased in December 2018 during a one-day conference and exhibition at the Benaki Museum / Pireos 138.
New submissions deadline: 15 November 2018

Arduino library for PID controller algorithm has been made and can be applied with ease. By using the arduino PID library can be applied to various fields of control systems, here applied to regulate the temperature of the heat exchanger plant.
Plant made using nylon with 600 Watt electric heater. To know the LM35 temperature sensor plant used as it has been posted here. While signal conditioners circuit for temperature sensor has been posted here as well.
As an actuator, I use a method of switching pwm IGBT components. The pwm switching circuit I have described in posting here. As a controller, I'm using a microcontroller ATmega328 with Noano Arduino bootloader.
PID library
Library for Arduino PID can be downloaded here. After you download folder PID_v1 put in the folder "libraries" where the Arduino installed.
To test the response of the PID used a simple program as follows:
#include //Define Variables we'll be connecting to double Setpoint, Input, Output; int pwmOutput = 9; int feedBackPin = A0; int ComputeOk; //Specify the links and initial tuning parameters PID myPID(&Input, &Output, &Setpoint,1.25,4,0.5, DIRECT); void setup() { //initialize the variables we're linked to Input = analogRead(feedBackPin); Setpoint = 500; //turn the PID on myPID.SetMode(AUTOMATIC); Serial.begin(115200); } void loop() { Input = analogRead(feedBackPin); myPID.Compute(); analogWrite(pwmOutput,Output); double curErr = Setpoint-Input; Serial.print(curErr); Serial.print(" - "); Serial.println(Output); delay(50); }

Hi all. I'm new to the Community having started c25k 2 and a half weeks ago. I've been searching past posts for help and inspiration and thought it was about time to join in!
I have never been a "runner" or sporty at all. Walking I can do but that's it. But at 44 I'm starting to feel the need to improve my fitness. My first week 1 run I could not do a full minute, however I did not keel over which is what I thought might happen! That is when i read all the encouraging posts on here. Now having done the same podcast 7 times, I went out tonight (8th session!) and actually did it all!!!!! It wasn't pretty, I did pause it and have a bit more recovery time between runs 6, 7 and 8, but I did it! And you helped, so a huge Thank You!

Mommy and Me Bath-Time Aprons
Hey everybody, I've been busy making more Mommy and Me bath-time aprons. Remember the one I showed y'all that I made for my friend for her shower? I have made five more to sell! Each one is unique and different. But first, let me warn you about the pictures. My husband took them last night at 10pm when I was absolutely exhausted! My hair is not fixed and I do not have any makeup on! LOL These aprons are great for washing babies, cats, dogs, dishes, cars - anytime you don't want to get wet!
My husband was also playing with my new camera he got me for our 15th wedding anniversary, on Aug. 5. So some of the pictures are kind of funny!
Here is the picture I took after I snatched it away from him and he was trying to get it back!
To the right here is one of my aprons. It is made out of towel material with a detachable matching washcloth. This apron has one big pocket. I love the cute buttons I found! It is hard to find big, colorful buttons! This is apron A.
I have decided to include the price of shipping in the aprons (or I could say free shipping! LOL). These aprons are $25. If you live out of the country, there may be added charge for the shipping. If you would like to purchase one let me know which one you want. Please specify by letter which apron you want. firstname.lastname@example.com and I can provide a phone number also if you ask. These ones are on a first come first serve basis, I have another set I will be doing in polka dots, I'm not sure if I will be able to get two or three aprons out of that material.
Thank you for looking, if you have any questions - just ask!

COMMUTERS are spending almost £700 a year more on rail fares than they were under Labour, new figures published today show.
As fares rise by over a third more than wages, campaigners and trade unionists will picket dozens of stations across Britain this morning. They will hand out chocolates to sweeten the "bitter pill" of burgeoning private-sector profits.
Today's fare rise is the biggest in five years. Season tickets will shoot up by 3.6 per cent, while wages are forecast to grow by only 2.6 per cent this year.
Labour said that the typical rail commuter will now be paying £2,888 for their season ticket, £694 a year more than in 2010.
The party compared costs in cash terms on over 180 routes between 2010 and today's new prices.
The highest increase was for a Virgin Trains season ticket between Birmingham and London Euston, which has risen by £2,539 since 2010 and now costs £10,567.
The biggest percentage increase identified was between Tame Bridge Parkway and Nuneaton, a whopping 50 per cent rise since 2010.
And the cost of commuting from Theresa May's Maidenhead constituency to London has risen by £732 since 2010, a 31 per cent increase from £2,360 to £3,092.
Shadow transport secretary Andy McDonald said: "The railways need serious reform that could be achieved if the Tories matched Labour's manifesto policy to extend public ownership to passenger services, but instead ministers are persisting with a failed model of privatisation that is punishing passengers."
The TUC's Action for Rail campaign has calculated that a commuter on the average British salary would pay a staggering 13 per cent of their wages for a season ticket between Chelmsford and London.
This compares to just 2 per cent of an average French salary for a similar-distance commute to Paris. Commuters in Rome would cough up 3 per cent of their pay and Berliners 4 per cent. In Brussels and Barcelona, commuters would pay 5 per cent of their salary.
TUC leader Frances O'Grady said: "Many commuters will look with envy to their continental cousins, who enjoy reasonably priced journeys to work.
"Ultimately the government needs to take our railways back into public hands. That will stop hundreds of millions being siphoned off by private rail firms, and allow us to put passengers first."
Meanwhile, in a separate analysis, rail union RMT found that fares have increased at five times the rate of public-sector pay awards, and at twice the speed of average earnings since 2010.
Workers employed on the government's poverty-pay "national living wage" of £7.50 an hour could spend an average of 20 per cent of their pay on train tickets.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "While the British passenger is being pumped for cash, the same private companies are axing safety-critical staff and security on our trains and stations.
"It's a national scandal that private profit comes before public safety on our rail network.
"Even worse, with 75 per cent of Britain's railways in overseas hands, it is the British people who are subsidising state-run rail operations across the continent."
Today's fare rise comes after the Star exclusively revealed on Friday that John Major's government explicitly set out to "smash the unions" when preparing for privatisation in 1992.
Newly declassified government papers released to the National Archives reveal that this objective was considered a "priority" during a discussion between Mr Major and his advisers at Chequers.
Drivers' union Aslef said private operators were now being "subsidised" to "drive up transport poverty" among the British people.
"Workers have missed out on real pay rises for years," Aslef leader Mick Whelan said.
"These fare rises hurt the communities and industries that they should be supporting. And this is without even counting the scandalous cost of parking at certain stations."
And TSSA general secretary Manuel Cortes added: "It's all talk and no trousers when it comes to taking back control from the foreign companies who own large swathes of our infrastructure, including our railways.
"Money made out of passengers here is invested in fare subsidies there."

PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, January 19 (Itar-Tass) - Volcano Shiveluch on Kamchatka has spewed ash to an altitude of more than five km above sea level, the Kamchatka office of the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported on Saturday.
The giant, the height of which is over 3,2 km, is covered with thick clouds. So, specialists estimate the height of the ash column with the data received from the seismological stations located at the foot of the volcano. They record high activity of the giant. A series of earthquakes took place on the volcano over the past 24 hours. They were accompanied with volcanic material discharges into the atmosphere, the Kamchatka geophysical service reports.
There have been no reports about ash fall in nearby residential areas.
The peninsula's volcanoes Kizimen and Plosky Tolbachik also remain active.
Eighty local quakes took place on Kizimen over the past 24 hours. Some of them could be accompanied with ash emissions to an altitude of 3.6-4.4 km above sea level.
A thermal anomaly remains is the area of the fissure eruption on Plosky Tolbachik, which became active on November 27, last year, after it was calm for 36 years. Because of cloudiness, it is not seen what is happening there. However, seismological monitoring data indicate that the eruption continues. The giant vibrates with an amplitude of up to 13.89 micrometre a second.
According to the classification of the KVERT Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team, an "orange" aviation code is given to all the three volcanoes, warning about the danger for flights from ash and gases emitted by the giants into the atmosphere.
The Kamchatka volcanoes represent no danger for residential areas. The giants are constantly monitored.

I'm all Christmas Puddinged out. If I haven't made enough this year, then I will simply do without and buy one >.< I still have my cake to make, I felt absolutely rotten yesterday, full of cold and I didn't have it in me to make it. I will probably do that today, while Mr G is having his CT scan. Despite my streaming nose and sneezing fits, it was a really nice relaxing day yesterday, I put MTV Christmas on and listened to two countdowns of Christmas songs. As an awful Christmas song, I didn't think 'Christmas Wrapping' could ever be beaten. And then I heard Destiny's Child's version of 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer'. Awww hell to the no, Bey. What were you thinking? I'll tell you what she was thinking. 'Anything for a quick buck'. I also heard a nice cover version of 'Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas' by Lady Antebellum, so I bought that to stick in my iTunes Christmas playlist.
It was funny to see what was now defined as a Christmas song. Not so long ago (in the UK anyway) you had your classics, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Nat King Cole, and then there was a new wave of songs (which are now themselves classics by age alone!) in the 70's and 80's, Slade, Mud, Wizzard, John Lennon, Wham!, Shakin' Stevens, Paul McCartney. I don't think there's been a decent proper Christmas song made (an original) since the 1980's. When I saw Leona Lewis 'A Moment Like This' in the chart I shook my head. Has the X Factor ruined the Christmas song forever? On the plus side, I got to hear Steps 'Heartbeat' for the first time in years. At least that video had fake snow in it. Guilty pleasures... sigh...
|Cooked puddings cooling down
100g Glace cherries, chopped
100g Dates, chopped
1 Cooking apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
Zest and juice of an orange
Zest and juice of a lemon
500 ml Cider (I used a good quality apple Cider)
*optional - 75g of Candied peel - if you're using bags of mixed fruit, this is already in
165g Self raising flour
3 tsp Mixed spice
4 tsp Cinnamon
330g Shredded Suet
330g Soft dark brown sugar
330g White breadcrumbs
25g Flaked almonds
25g Pecans, chopped
25g Walnuts, chopped
6 eggs, beaten
Put the fruit and zests in a large mixing bowl, squeeze over the lemon and orange juices and then add the cider. Stir well, and cover. I stir this often to make sure the fruit really absorbs the cider. Leave overnight if possible.
In another large bowl, put the flour, spices, suet, sugar, breadcrumbs and nuts. Mix well.
Pour the fruit mixture into the dried mixture. This is where you really have to give it some mixing, to make sure everything is well combined. When it is, add the beaten eggs, stirring as you go, making sure everything is well mixed in and there's no dry bits left.
Grease your basins or bowls with butter, and fill with the pudding mixture.
Cover the top of the puddings with a double layer of greaseproof paper. Then tightly wrap the basins in foil.
I steam my puddings in a steamer, and I can't really give a specific time, because they're all different sizes. It's a case of initiative and common sense, the larger ones can take between 6 - 8 hours, the smaller ones between 4 - 6 hours.

Alice: HIV couldn't put me down, I needed to be there for my son
Alice (not real name) and her eleven-year old son came to the UK from Burundi in 2000. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with HIV. She now lives in Glasgow, and says the only time she
Alice (not real name) and her eleven-year old son came to the UK from Burundi in 2000. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with HIV. She now lives in Glasgow, and says the only time she thinks about her disease is for two minutes a day, when taking her medication.
"This is not my blood, maybe somebody else's blood".
That was my very first reaction after being told I was HIV positive. "There must be a mistake; could you please do the test again?" I kept asking the doctor. My mind refused to accept it. It was a tremendous shock. I first thought about suicide, but those ideas did not remain with me too long, I knew I had to be there for my son.
You are never prepared for life's setbacks and difficulties, but in my case it was even more unexpected since I had no symptoms at all. In fact, I just passed my medical examinations after applying for a UK visa and everything seemed to be okay so I could not identify any signs. Actually, if you look at me now you will not identify any signs either.
Immediately after those feelings of denial, the question arises: where does it come from? That question had been resonating in my mind for a while. Was it from my husband that passed away? Was it from an appendicitis operation back in Burundi?
Being frank, I don't know exactly how I caught it. But what is the point of even asking the question? There is no reason why you need to know.
Looking back, I admit that those first days after the diagnosis were tough, especially because I was alone and I did not have a shoulder to cry on. I had suicidal thoughts, but those ideas did not last. They were automatically eclipsed by the image of my son. He was 11 at the time and we had just come all the way to the United Kingdom, all by ourselves. I asked myself, "who is going to look after him?" and the answer was pretty clear: it had to be me. I knew I had to be there for my son as my family have always been there for me. I knew I had to be strong. You must be when you have children on your own.
Staying positive, for my son and for myself
At that time, I was an asylum seeker. Right after I got my papers, I started working. I eventually quit the job, as unfortunately I was also diagnosed with meningitis. But I could not stay at home; I am a very active person. So I managed to keep myself busy and started volunteering. That is my truly passion, helping other people.
I spent most of my time volunteering everywhere. Actually, when someone is looking for me, they can find me either in my local church or in any other charity giving advice to people in my same situation. I would be out there showing them that HIV is not the end of life. I would be saying, "Sit down. Relax. Find the strength you need to overcome this". It's not easy, but I encourage people to look at the bright side, there is treatment, there is medication, there is, in essence, a solution.
Speaking openly about your disease is very important. The turning point for me took place after being actively part of an HIV support group. We talked. We share our concerns. But also, I could notice that people there were doing quite well. Then, I started thinking "maybe this is going to be alright". I started seeing the disease form another point, kept doing my life; I even went back to the college and studied hotel management.
I have found support from my family as well. My son, my siblings and most of the people I am surrounded with know that I am HIV positive. Just like any illness, if somebody has something, their family would rather know. It is true that I personally decided not to tell my mother, not due to the stigma but simply because I don't want her to suffer. I don't think she can handle that; she would be scared and I don't blame her, because she does not really know the reality of this disease. She might think she will lose me. But probably if she could understand that my condition is not such a problem to me she would not be that worried.
The truth is that I don't think about my disease at all. I am living happily. It does not bother me. Yet, other illnesses that people would have found more harmless are way more annoying to me. For instance, I have got sciatica, I've got osteoporosis, and the painkillers are causing me some troubles… but with HIV? I'm totally fine. I take my medication every morning and that's it. Life goes on.

My cousin was over the other day and told me about a surprise her friend recently got...
The day Ellie died, my cousin Ang was supposed to spend the evening with her friend, K. But Ang cancelled her plans with K due to Ellie's passing. So K decided to go out on a date with a guy (Mr. X) that had been asking. K's date went very well and the two have been together ever since October 25th.
And they recently found out they are pregnant!
Of course, I know not everything is about Ellie. But when I heard this, I immediately thought, Ellie sent a baby. Because Ellie died on October 25th, K and Mr. X went on their first date. And now they get to be parents.
For some reason, it made me so happy to hear this. Strange and unexplainable things all the time. Sometimes they are awful and painful, but sometimes they are amazing and beautiful. Unexpected or not, a baby is an incredible thing. A true miracle. And cannot help but think our Peanut had a chubby little hand in this one.
Elle Belle~ I love you so much little girl!
Remembering March 9th, 2010
Forgive the messy living room in the background- it's what happens when you have a 16 month old and 6 week old. I love this picture of Ellie, sound asleep in the midst of a cluttered living room with a toddler on the loose. During the first couple months she often took her morning nap on the couch in her bassinet or on the boppy. I would put the footstool in front of her to keep Max at bay. She loved to be covered up with a warm fuzzy blanket and have her cheek up against the boppy. And her hands were almost always holding each other, unless they were holding a blankie. She looks so tiny in this picture.
Love those hands. She just looks so peaceful.

Travelling and volunteering are the best things ever, but as cool as it seems they also have a bad side. Saying goodbye will become a regular situation in your life, and no matter how many times you do it, it is never easy.
I hate goodbyes. But honestly, who likes this sad situations when you don't know what to say because you have too much to say?
It is not a good way to say goodbye. Not matter how many hugs you give, or how many wishes you scream. You would be leaving that person (probably for a long long time). For me one of the hardest things of saying goodbye it is the feeling of separation, you connect to someone, you adapt your life to them, and then you leave. And you know that life it would never happen again as it was. OMG, this post is getting really sad!
Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I'll miss you until we meet again.
Let's look to the other side, saying bye it also means you are starting a new chapter, going to another city, starting new adventures. Realizing how many awesome people you were able to meet!
Last month, I left Nicaragua after more than a year working with Quetzaltrekkers, a non-profit travel organization helping kids in the country. I've never in my whole life have to say so many goodbyes like the past year. Quetzaltrekkers is running mainly by volunteers than stay around between two and three months working as a hiking guides. So every month I used to welcome someone new and be sad about someone leaving. In September I was the one leaving, so I also have to say goodbye to the kids of the projects and the really good friends I made.
Thinking now how many people I met from different parts of the world, and be able to share so many cool moments, make me realize how lucky I am. Choosing this life style of travelling and working with non-profits it's not always easy, but I don't regret it for a second.
When the time comes and I move, I always like to do special activities with the kids. It is a special way to share the last moments, and make them do that thing that they don't have the chance. This time I brought one project to the beach where the smallest ones realize how salty the water can be, we organized a cookie workshop with other project that end in a food battle and other project prepared a whole afternoon of typical dances. It's amazing all the love that they gave me!
Saying goodbye it is also realizing the bonds that you made with people, it doesn't matter where they from or how lost we are in life, you will miss them. I love getting messages in my phone and unexpected having news of my friends. If you are a traveler or you've been a volunteer you know that you won't be talking every week, or not even every month, but when you talk it would be like have always been: laughs, memories and confessions.

Roland Dann is an amazing man who I admire a great deal.
When Alice and I began attending Emmanuel Baptist Church in Springfield, Georgia in the summer of 2000, Rev. Dann was pastor. During our two years there, I enjoyed his preaching, pastoral care, enthusiasm, and love for the Lord. He supported us a great deal when we went through the trauma of our daughter Mary's brain aneurysm surgery in the fall of 2000. It was partly due to his encouragement that I left Springfield to move to seminary.
Not long after we relocated to North Carolina, "Brother Roland" began a new ministry in his life. He took the gospel on the road as a trucker. Traveling all over the USA, he shared Christ with many different types of people. He once told me that the trucking industry is in desperate need of a Christian influence.
The story of Brother Roland's trucking ministry was recently chronicled in the Christian Index, a Georgia Baptist newspaper. To read the full story, click here.
I am excited that the Lord has led Brother Roland into a new ministry: planting a church in Effingham County. I look forward to seeing him a great deal now that we will be pastoring Southern Baptist churches within 30 minutes of each other.
This amazing man is an example to all of us of what the Lord will do with a person who is willing to follow His leading.

Fred Stern, "the Rainbow Man," is dead at 76. After a fall, the internationally renowned artist who called Las Cruces home, lingered for several weeks before dying in hospice care in El Paso on June 21.
Throughout a long and unique career, Stern created more than 50 rainbows all over the world to benefit and promote charities and worthy causes ranging from hospice in Las Cruces, to a "peace" rainbow over the United Nations building in New York and a recent, multi-award-winning project involving a series of rainbows in Africa.
With the help of fire departments and ever-evolving artistry and technology, Stern carefully computed angles and weather conditions, but, like the fabled scientist who analyzed rainbows and then believed in their magic anyway, Stern retained an almost childlike enthusiasm that was infectious.
"Rainbows have cultural meanings all over the world and really interesting philosophical implications. A rainbow needs an eye to be seen. It only exists next to a point you're looking at it, which brings it into existence. A rainbow is not a real object. As you get close to it, it gets smaller. So in a sense, we are what is at the end and the center of every rainbow," Stern said in a June 29, 2014, interview with the Sun-News.
That year, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of free elections for South Africa (known as the Rainbow Nation), Stern creating a series of large-scale rainbows in the sky over the Johannesburg skyline. The project was the basis of the short video piece, "A Rainbow for the Rainbow Nation." The video was selected from more than 32,500 submissions for France's prestigious Cannes Lions International Festival for the Creative Communications Industry. The video won the top Golden Lion honors, as well as two silver and two bronze awards.
"It was a fantastic experience. After Johannesburg, I went to Cape Town, the most amazingly beautiful place I've ever seen, for the African version of Burning Man, AfrikaBurn, and created a natural rainbow over the huge event's sculptural piece before it was burned," Stern said.
"My vision was an around-the-world tour with a series of major rainbow-type events," said Stern, who managed to do just that for more than three decades.
"Maybe my favorites have been the ones for children with health issues," said Stern, who devised a way to make "moonbows" at Camp Sundown for children with a condition that makes exposure to sunlight harmful. He also worked with American Cancer Society Relay for Life events, the Alzheimer Association and Hospice.
Stern was politically active throughout his life. In the 1960s, he organized Freedom Rides to the South, and spoke out against conflicts in the Vietnam War, Iraq and Afghanistan.
He was born on June 3, 1939, in Philadelphia and grew up in New York City. He studied at the Pratt Institute, Columbia University, and received a doctorate in chemical engineering from the University of Rhode Island.
"I got into art working with light shows at the Fillmore East in New York. I started work on multimedia electric light projects in large-scale urban environments. A rainbow is really a three-dimensional sculpture that's just not permanent. I generate an artificial rainfall by pumping water into the air using local fire department equipment. These water droplets refract the sun's light to establish the rainbow. I use a computer program to determine the optimal time, position and spray parameters for rainbow generation," he said, explaining the process that created arcs of 200 feet and more.
He adapted rainbows to local environmental conditions. Where water was plentiful and easily recycled, in ocean harbors, for instance, he made rainbows that involved pumping 120,000 gallons of water per minute. A rainbow in Africa used just 30 gallons. One of his smallest rainbows was made with a pocket prism at Trinity Site, where the first atomic bomb was detonated.
He also coordinated groups of artists in the presentation of environmental works for the International Sculpture Conference in Washington, D.C., and the Festival de Dos Culturas in Mexico. He served as an adviser and participant at New York's annual Avant Garde Festival for more than 10 years and served as associate professor of sculpture and engineering at Pratt Institute, and as associate professor of visual arts at New York University, the University of Maryland and the Instituto de Allende in Mexico."
His honors include an Art in Public Places Individual Artist Award and other awards from the National Endowment for the Arts.
He moved to New Mexico in 1992 and was active in the Silver City arts community. He moved to Las Cruces in 1999.
The creative and colorful Stern died as he lived, friends said.
"Fred was a great friend and a dedicated artist. He not only delighted uncounted observers around the world with his rainbows but remained a curious, committed artist experimenting with a variety of media. Fred was full of life and energy, still creating everything from rainbows to poems, falling in and out of love, and talking earnestly about the strange wonder of living. Fred died following his artistic bent, climbing onto a wall to take a photograph of the full moon rising. He lost his balance, fell and caused severe damage to his spinal cord. He fought valiantly in the hospital, but the injury was too severe," said his longtime friend, Peter Goodman.
"Fred believed strongly that the world was a magical place in which everything happened for a reason, with no coincidences," Dael Goodman said.
Stern is survived by his daughters, Diane Stern of Santa Fe, and Cheryl Silberman of Huntington, New York, and "a family of friends across the globe."
A celebration of his life is planned on Aug. 9. For directions and more information about the memorial, send an email to email@example.com.

US Debt Sales To Surge:• zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden
America's funding needs are starting to grow at a dangerous pace.
Even before the NYT reported of Trump's startling suggestion of a further $100 billion tax cut in the form of an inflation-adjusted capital gains tax cost basis which mostly benefits the wealthy, earlier today the U.S. Treasury said it expects to borrow $56 billion more during the third quarter than previously estimated, while market participants expect shorter-dated Treasuries to absorb the brunt of the new supply as the Trump administration grapples with a mushrooming budget deficit.
In the Treasury's latest quarterly Sources and Uses table, it revealed that it expects to issue $329 billion in net marketable debt from July through September, and $56 billion more than the $273 billion estimated three months ago, in April. assuming an end-of-September cash balance of $350 billion, matching its previous estimate. It also forecast $440 billion of borrowing in the final three months of the year, with a $390 billion cash balance on December 31.

Edmund Campion was an English Jesuit who was born in January 25, 1540, and was executed on December 1, 1581. He studied in St. John's College in Oxford and became a close friend to Queen Elizabeth. Although born and raised a Catholic, Edmund Campion took the Oath of Supremacy, acknowledging Queen Elizabeth as the head of the Church in England. Campion became an Anglican deacon, but he started to have doubts with his new allegiance and went to Ireland where he had an epiphany and returned to his Catholic spirit.

ZAM ZAM chapter four: A multi-national art team based at the HURRICANE ZONE
An exhibition curated by MA Culture, Criticism and Curation graduate, Marisol Rodríguez.
Trace a line from here to the other side of the ATLANTIC and you will find yourself in the HURRICANE ZONE: the YUCATÁN peninsula, CENTRAL AMERICA and the CARIBBEAN. The first event to define the HZ's current character was the abrupt invasion of Spanish colonialism over 500 years ago, after which the region has survived the relentless slash of British, French, Dutch and most recently North American hurricanes.
This intricate environment is a snapshot of daily life in the HZ as perceived by MID51. The everyday objects confined in a building symbolic of aged cultural identity reveal the team's sense of their region's residual coloniality. Stemming from the fact that all natural hurricanes are dispatched from these very coasts, ZAM ZAM chapter four is an un altered, critical take of both their local and the senegalese contexts.
As an imprint set in sand, our presence in DAKAR is ephemeral. therefore, we have chosen to respect these walls, occupying a space simply and briefly with ideas and sounds tracing back our joint history.
[MID51] an artist approach to social + cultural collaborations involves writers + scientists + musicians + workers of all trades + visual artists. this multi-national art team based at the HURRICANE ZONE, presently produces: the 10 books of THE CONTAINER COLLECTION + the 100 films of the FLIP COIN VIDEO project + the 6 chapters of the ZAM ZAM project.

I've been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember.
I joined MyFitnessPal a while ago and so far, when I actually show the discipline it takes, it's the most effective tool I've tried so far.
Currently, I'm in the process of planning an Endobarrier surgery, too. When that comes along, I'll find a way to track my progress with that here, too.

D. G. Chu, W. Smith, C. M. Krispel, M. R. Ali, J. L. Keltner; Asymptomatic Papilledema in Morbidly Obese Patients: A Prospective Study. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2009;50(13):4020.

Purpose: :
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is associated with obesity, however when asymptomatic, IIH is difficult to diagnose in a primary care setting because its sentinel finding is papilledema. Asymptomatic IIH has been estimated in some populations to be as high as 5%-24%. It is unknown if previously proposed screening for asymptomatic IIH based on previously published rates of asymptomatic IIH can be validated by a similarly high incidence of asymptomatic IIH in morbidly obese patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of asymptomatic papilledema found on non-mydriatic fundus imaging of morbidly obese patients in a bariatric surgery clinic.
Methods: :
This was a prospective study. All morbidly obese patients (BMI >35) seeking bariatric surgery who consented to the study and had no visual opacity preventing a high quality fundus photo were included. Non-mydriatic fundus images were taken by trained clinic personnel. Images were reviewed by an ophthalmologist, and optic nerves were evaluated for papilledema. Patients suspected of having an optic nerve abnormality had a subsequent clinical exam by a neuro-ophthalmologist.
Results: :
140 patients met the inclusion criteria for the study, 83.8% were female, with a mean age of 44.9 years. The mean BMI was 47.8. Ocular abnormalities were noted in 6 patients. Only one patient had subtle bilateral optic disc edema and referred for full neurological IIH work-up. Other findings included optic nerve hyaloid remnant, optic nerve drusen, epiretinal membrane, congenital macular scar, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The rate of ocular pathology found in our study was 4.3% (6 of 140 patients). The rate of asymptomatic papilledema in our study was 0.7% (1 of 140 patients).
Conclusions: :
The non-mydriatic camera can be used successfully in the primary care setting to detect even subtle optic disc edema. Many undiagnosed ocular findings were found in our study. Given the low rate of asymptomatic papilledema in this obese population, further studies are needed to determine if previously published rates of asymptomatic IIH and the association between obesity and IIH can be validated.

Different situations can require different locations, detailed below. Sheltering for severe weather is different than sheltering from a toxic release. Campus-specific information will be broadcast over radio stations see below and the Emergency Alert Radios.
Select interior room s below or at ground level. In any emergency, local authorities may not immediately be able to provide information on what is happening and what you should do. Sheltering procedures for different emergencies Why you might need to shelter-in-place The air outside may become dangerously contaminated biologically, radiologically, or chemically -- either intentionally or accidentally, severe weather such as a thunderstorm or tornado is occurring; or there is an active shooter, making it unsafe to be exposed to outside conditions.
The important thing is for you to follow instructions of university authorities and know what to do if they advise you to shelter-in-place. Keep listening to the radio or television until you are told all is safe or you are told to evacuate.
Gather essential disaster supplies if possible. Avoid overcrowding by selecting several rooms if necessary.
An example is a small, interior room with no or few windows where refuge can be taken. If you are told there is danger of explosion, close the window shades, blinds, or curtains.
If you receive an emergency notification from IU Notify or another authoritative source, follow the instructions provided. Shelter-in-place for severe weather Stop classes or work, or close business operations. Bring everyone into the room s and shut door s. Should this occur, information will be provided by university authorities through IU Notify.
Shelter-in-place for contamination Stop classes or work, or close business operations. It is ideal to have a hard-wired telephone in the room s you select. Select interior room s above the ground floor with the fewest windows or vents.
However, you should monitor television or radio news reports for information or official instructions as they become available.An active shooter is defined as an individual who is actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in the hospital or on the hospital campus.
In most cases active shooters use a firearm(s) and display no pattern or method for selection of their victims. **The above policy is a suggestive outline for a policy/SOP involving a Active Shooter situation.
This policy must be reviewed and modified by each individual facility and adopted by their legal signature. Planning and Response to an Active Shooter i FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Planning and Response to an Active Shooter: An Interagency Security Committee Policy and Best Practices Guide existing ISC policy on active shooter incidents into one cohesive policy and guidance document to enhance.
An Active Shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.
Shelter-in-place for an active shooter attack Follow the procedures on the Criminal Activity/Active Shooter webpage.
It's vitally important to understand the various types of sheltering prior to an incident occurring. An active shooter or aggressor is a person who appears to be actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area -- typically using firearms but possibly using other weapons, such as knives, or vehicles.Download
