Tim Roache: Britain at a Crossroads
Thank you Faiza and the team at CLASS for assembling the most fantastic conference today. It's a privilege to speak with you, not only as President of CLASS, but here this year as General Secretary of GMB. I began my work on 1st March which already seems like an age away. David Cameron was Prime Minister, Osborne ruled over the Treasury and most of the pundits expected us to stay in the European Union.
In March, the football fans among us wondered could Leicester really win the Premier League? Now we admire Gary Lineker not just for his enthusiasm for his former team, but for his determination to speak out for dignity and humanity to be shown to refugees. He's kept his nerve in the face of the predictable hostility from the right wing press. Good on you Gary – we support you all the way.
Here at the CLASS Conference is an opportunity among friends to consider challenging policy issues facing working people while considering some of the solutions. This isn't a talking shop, this is real life. Your contribution and participation in today's event and the discussions that will follow is crucial because none of us knows as much as all of us.
We have to design the 21st century to meet our priorities and principles in the interests of the people. The transnational corporations show less loyalty than ever to the countries they operate in. We have to keep responding to that and adapt quickly. It's not going to be easy. No-one else is going to do it for us. But every victory along the way encourages others and builds confidence that we can shape the future.
That's why I was delighted and proud of GMB's historic employment rights victory for Uber drivers in the UK. The support for our two drivers who stuck their head above the parapet, with the full support of their union has been fantastic. When you talk to people, they get it.
This isn't an argument about technology or flexibility of working patterns. It is about rights and responsibilities, decency and dignity. The minimum wage, sick pay and holiday pay. The ability to have a holiday with your family or to not have to work when you are sick. These are things most of us take for granted but the drivers out there and the thousands of others employed in this way have been denied.
It's about ensuring that the rights we have won over the last hundred years aren't removed by the installation of an app. GMB is on the way to creating a 21st century union and yes, we embrace technology. We stand firm against exploitative business models, where workers meet the costs and shareholders laugh all the way to the bank. One or two of them aren't laughing quite as loudly now.
We know Uber bosses won't meet their obligations willingly and they have shown little humility or shame since the judgement. Please keep showing your support for our members, ensuring their rights are respected. Whether you use this firm or not, the Uber case affects us all.
Systematic false self-employment hasn't just been an erosion of rights at work, but of taxes that could be used for the benefit of society. We all pick up the tab for the shortfalls – from the council-run care homes facing cuts and closure, to the lack of resources for schools, hospitals and services propped up by a stressed workforce stretched to breaking point.
We are not alone and GMB supports all other unions in similar struggles in the sectors they represent. We know how much is at stake, so please continue showing your public support and solidarity, but most of all take heart!
Almost everywhere you look is uncertainty whether at home or abroad. There are huge divisions within the Cabinet on priorities for Brexit which is why they are so loathe to come to Parliament and spell out even the most basic of priorities. Another Tory MP has quit and called a by-election over the Prime Minister's approach and he probably won't be the last. We have a government that is up Brexit Creek…and the paddle manufacturers have yet to receive the necessary assurances from ministers.
The government has made promises to Nissan's executives and injected some much-needed confidence for the car industry. That just leaves the rest of the 30 million workers in Britain, other sectors including the many small and medium sized businesses who, let's not forget, employ 60% of the UK's workers. I've yet to receive written assurances offering cast-iron promises that workers won't lose out either in current or future employment rights, there's no plan for maintaining British jobs or living standards. That will be the focus of my union in the weeks and months ahead.
The Chancellor's Autumn Statement on 23rd November is crucial. This is his first opportunity to send a clear signal to the country and set out the government's domestic new economic priorities and intentions since the referendum. It is a huge moment and an opportunity to end the mistakes of the past and do something in national interest both for the short-term and long-term. How? Kill stone dead George Osborne's austerity policies.
Remember, austerity was partly justified in 2010 by Osborne on the need to keep credit rating agencies happy and the confidence of the markets – an absurd and flawed basis at the time which resulted in sluggish recovery, greater insecurity and a decline in wages and the erosion of public services. Osborne's justification was insincere and the motivation was ideological. After the referendum we are clearly well beyond what the ratings agencies may or may not think. That ship has sailed. Everything has changed following the referendum.
Of course the irony for Osborne and Cameron is that their austerity policies created many of the conditions in which the leave campaign prospered and finished off their careers. No-one would have batted an eye at the buses promising much-needed funds for the NHS if we believed it was already fully funded. Instead it is a struggle to get appointments, hospital services are closing, blue-light ambulances are missing their targets and the Health Secretary is driving doctors either out of the country or into early retirement.
Similarly with housing. If the government had invested in council house-building after the financial crash and recognised the opportunity as well as the need, then not only would we have shorter waiting lists and housing would not be viewed through the prism of migration. We'd also have many thousands more younger people employed working in trades. There'd have been more of a sense in the country that things could and would get better. The most damaging Tory cut of all has been the reduction in hope.
For many voters, voting to leave the European Union was presented as a solution to austerity. We had Tory MPs and leave campaigners promise that leaving the EU would mean an end to austerity. In April, John Redwood wrote the following in the Guardian:
"I want to end austerity. Voters want prosperity, not austerity…If we leave the EU we will regain control of our own money. We could increase existing budgets and end the upcoming reductions."
The cynicism is staggering and sickening given everything this government has put the country through with those with the least, paying the highest price of all. Redwood is right about one thing – voters want prosperity not austerity. Yet on Monday next week, the Tory government will be ploughing ahead with an ever lower benefit cap which will affect 116,000 families by up to £6,000 a year according to the Chartered Institute of Housing. It will push 300,000 children closer to homelessness. It is cruel, it is distressing and it must stop.
The new Prime Minister has sacked George Osborne but the government has not yet ended his poisonous policies. If Philip Hammond wants to make any kind of mark at all then he must do so in his Autumn Statement. Bust this brutal benefit cap. End the bedroom tax. Stop the sanctions regime. Treat people with dignity. Or you and Theresa May will take personal responsibility for the ruin of all these lives.
That is the moral and political argument for ending austerity, but there is a practical one too. The government has said it wants to have an industrial strategy. They've even changed the name of a government department to reflect this. Yet continuing with even more austerity measures it will reduce the ingredients that are crucial for a functioning industrial strategy. We won't just see reduced spending, but lower demand, fragile confidence, insufficient public investment and public services which invest in the people required, would continue to be undermined. Given the uncertainty of the coming years, why would a company invest in Britain if its own government is not prepared to?
Industrial strategy relies as much on the classroom as it does the boardroom. Throughout the 21st century, our young people are going to need to be trained and retrained countless times to meet challenges and create new opportunities. Jobs that don't yet exist will come and go through the course of their working lives. Further education is going to be critical to all our economic health. Yet in the first five years of Tory-led government, adult skills funding didn't increase – it was cut by 35%. Colleges have been pushed to the brink of collapse when they should have been flourishing and equipping us today and tomorrow.
I started talking about the importance of unions responding to the demands and needs of people in the 21st century. We're up for that.
This Autumn statement is the test of whether the government gets it too. Politics is in a state of flux. Expectations have been raised. If Theresa May falls short then her honeymoon will come to a juddering halt. Our job is to be ready with the answers and the arguments. That is why today's event is so important and timely.
Thank you.
Tim Roache

Easy Ways to Move your Business without Losing out on Productivity
Your business is your investment. If you do not work hard to protect it then you may find that you lose out on both time and money, and this can be devastating to your company. Moving offices can pose as a huge risk as well because you are essentially uprooting everything that you have worked so hard to build. If you want to get some tips to help you with your office move then you can find out everything you need to know, right here.
Have a Plan
It's important that you develop a business plan as early as possible. You need to ensure minimal disruption, and you also need to meet with key team members too. By outlining what needs to be done, you can then coordinate everything, and you can also ensure that everything is on track for the future.
Visual Inventory
Walk around your business and take a visual stock list of everything that needs to come with you to the new location. How much of your inventory needs to be moved? What about office equipment? Bigger items may need a specialist courier in order for them to be transported. Manuals and even file contents will need to be organised according to their individual workstations, and cubicle panels may need breaking down. It's important that you do this in the most efficient way possible because if you don't then you run the risk of stalling your business
and even causing delays.
Moving gives you the chance to decide what needs moving, and what doesn't. It gives you the chance to declutter, and it also helps you to save both time and money. Less volume equals less, moving costs, not to mention that new furniture can be more affordable than you realise. By purchasing new furniture, you can also give your employees the boost that they need to get motivated when you move into the new office and this can work wonders for your first week back at work.
It's so important that you come up with a realistic timeline for your new move. Think about it, how much time do you need to try and coordinate everything? How much of an overlap is there between your old location and your new one? If you are going through the process gradually then this will make it easier for your team to try and keep up with the daily task of operating the company. Regardless, you have to make sure that your team have enough time to get everything sorted out, and that nothing is rushed. To make things easier on yourself, consider hiring a conveyancing expert.
Pack in Advance
If you have a few items that don't need to be used anytime soon then pack them up now. Anything in storage can also be packed as well. This will save you a ton of time, not to mention that it can also give you a good idea of what packing supplies you might need for when the big day comes along.

There are lots of birds around where I live nowadays and they chirp like this was a musician's colony for birds.
There are a few influential factors. They usually shut up in the dark. They usually keep quiet in the pouring rain.
Now, when I first moved here I also thought they only chirped when the weather was warm but I learned that around here that is not even close to the truth.
There are enough species that I eventually realized that I recognize the chirps of 5 or 6 species and that it isn't always the same ones or combinations of chirpers.
It is true, that once sensitized, one can also really hear the sound of their wings flapping on the breeze and learn which weather is flying weather and what is not.
I felt good but also a little embarrassed when I realized that the local birds could teach me more than the airports: flights are cancelled due to: heavy rains, ice, wind directions and speed etc..

The Snatch Deadlift is not only for Olympic Weightlifters, it can be utilised to challenge the back and legs more than a conventional deadlift allowing you to get stronger while lifting lighter loads. That said, if you struggle to get into a good position to deadlift with a normal grip then chances are you are not ready for the Snatch Deadlift. The wider hand position makes it more like a deficit deadlift in terms of positioning as you effectively shorten the arms having them out wide.

support multi sub wheels on main menu ?
SIMPLYAUSTIN replied to relic's question in Aide (Help)It's not as hard as you think if you already have hylerspin setup. I will see if I can make a layman's terms version for you all. It's one of those that it's harder in the head, than on PC hehe
EmuMovies- Sega Master System Updated (4 Videos)

Looking for a Good Hyperspin Intro 720p/1080p
SIMPLYAUSTIN replied to imdavid555's topic in HyperSpinYeah mate you can use a YouTube downloader. Lots out there. I find an addon for Mozilla is peregct and bug free. However I did leave my original in my FTP folder before it had gone read only along with the others too. My FTP folder was called EoooDares if it's still on there Give me a shout if your stuck... Will be able to sort you out. Happy Gaming All
Thanks again guys... it me who learns soo much form you lot too. You guys show me new and crazy problems every day hehehe But yes mate, of course I am. At the moment I hear there is about to be released (no rush if your reading this RL devs), a new RocketLauncher update. some of the settings etc may be changed. I am just awaiting the updates for that before I make the new tutorials. Otherwise I may have to do them again straight after hehehe.''' In the meantime though, been trying to give you the emus and bits so you can get it going on your own if you want. As always, gimmie a shout if you need anything, happy to help if I can. Lots more HyperSpin stuff on the way... yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Pc games on android?
SIMPLYAUSTIN replied to badhemi's topic in HyperSpin Androidyou cant play modern big budget titles. But you can play some cross platform new games... War of Mine, Hitman Go etc is great. Or you can stream to your android from a PC The only other option is older DOS or retro PC games that can be emulated
If your control system is not compatible with standard HyperHQ control method (some aint). Then I would say Startup Script is the most compatible way to go and has no effect on the rest of your systems/games. For game to game controls that you HAVE to use Xpadder like the ones you say, TTX and some Indies/pre alphas that dont yet have control options. Use the automated method inside the Xpadder profiles. You can make Xpadder run silent, then if it spots a program being launched it fires up and sets controls for that system. Then when looses focus, back to default. Have a look in options... it sound complicated, but its not
Looking for a Good Hyperspin Intro 720p/1080p
SIMPLYAUSTIN replied to imdavid555's topic in HyperSpinSome of the best classics..... none of my work... I did make this one in case you have some broken games your working on or have no video...
I found the easiest way if you NEED to use Xpadder (only couple of TTX and indie games for me) is to use its own auto profiler. Set up a profile for those systems so it triggers on launch. Then set a default blank profile for it to use when not used. There is only a few games now that need it as a must
I smell of quality products and my musk turns panties moist.... all facts!

text: b*****d Nov 08, 2014 7:21 PM Just a FYI for those of you who have chronic fatigue along with your fibromyalgia. I saw a noticible difference while taking d-ribose. Instead of being ready to drop from exhaustion I have more energy and not that awful tired feeling all the time. It did nothing for my fibro pain but definitely noticed a difference with my chronic fatigue. Hope this can help someone as it did me. If anyone needs more info I will be glad to help.

Observations 12-17-18
- The chipped paint and patinated metal on the bases of IV stands in contrast with the sterile white plastic of all the other machines in Zaid's hospital room [12-2-18].
- How the screen showing Zaid's vitals shows another patient's vitals, too, a weird connection between him and a stranger in another room.
- How we have a lot of common knowledge about relatively low-tech stuff, like cooking and health, and not very much common knowledge (or not very common common knowledge) about things like internet password hygiene, data back-up durability, social media etiquette, etcetera. It's interesting to imagine a world where there are mnemonic phrases and children's stories about computer-y topics that are just as prevalent as those about non-computer-y topics. Look both ways before you cross the street, and never daisy-chain your passwords.
- Switching back to Firefox after years of using Safari and Google Chrome because I don't want to contribute to Google's outsize control over HTML/CSS/JS standards. As markets for independent native (non-web) software decline, as web traffic coalesces around a few social media platforms, and—most of all—as ad-tech gets sneakier and more ubiquitous, we have more and more interest in preserving the democratic-ish processes that have governed open web standards so far (for more detail see Ferdy Christant's "The State of Web Browsers" articles).
- Google's browser dominance (not to mention its email dominance with Gmail, or Amazon Web Services' cloud dominance) seems like yet another reason we should completely reimagine antitrust law for the information economy. You can't just break up Facebook, for example, into a bunch of "Baby 'Books" (like Baby Bells) because its value comes from its network effect. So we need tech-informed antitrust law that distributes control over, but preserves the unity of, big stores of data, rather than ham-fistedly breaking companies up to foster competition.
- [12-19-18: Evgeny Morozov in The Guardian in 2016: "The rhetoric of improving competition cannot lie at the heart of economic populism in the 21st century. A much better agenda for left-leaning populists would be to insist that data is an essential, infrastructural good that should belong to all of us; it should not be claimed, owned, or managed by corporations."]

WHO GENEVA – The west African countries ravaged by Ebola have made great strides to stem the spread of the deadly virus but missed key January 1 targets towards halting the epidemic, the World Health Organisation has said.
The United Nations set a 90-day target on October 1 to isolate and treat all Ebola patients in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, and to ensure safe burials for all bodies, which are highly infectious.
WHO on Wednesday acknowledged in its latest situation report that the goals had not been met by the set deadline, but stressed that "efforts to attain each target will continue until the epidemic has been brought to an end."
Meeting the treatment and burial targets, and meticulously tracing people who have been in contact with Ebola patients, are seen as essential to reining in the epidemic, which has infected 20,747 people in just over a year, of whom 8,235 have died.
The three west African countries, which account for all but 15 of those deaths, have dramatically scaled up the number of beds available in Ebola treatment centres and now have the capacity to isolate and treat all patients, WHO said in its latest situation report.
In Liberia, which was long the hardest-hit country and still counts the most deaths at 3,496, a steep drop in transmission paired with a rapid scale-up in treatment means the country now counts 15.1 beds for every confirmed and probable case of the virus.
In Guinea, where the epidemic began in December 2013 and which counts 1,781 deaths, there are 2.1 available beds for each infected person.
And in Sierra Leone, which currently has the most infections – 9,780 – of whom 2,943 have died, there are 4.6 beds for each patient, WHO said.
But "the uneven geographical distribution of beds and cases, and the under-reporting of cases, means that the UNMEER (UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response) target of isolating and treating 100 per cent of (Ebola) cases is still not met in some areas," the UN health agency said.
In Guinea, for instance, the virus has continued to spread to geographically but almost all of the country's treatment centres are based in the capital, WHO said.
"An increasing emphasis will be put on the rapid deployment of smaller treatment facilities to ensure that capacity is matched with demand in each area," it said.
The UN agency meanwhile found that all three countries now had the capacity to ensure safe burials for all people known to have died from Ebola.
But it warned that "the under-reporting of deaths means that the UNMEER target of 100 per cent safe burial was not met." WHO has acknowledged that the true number of Ebola deaths is likely far higher than the recorded figures, given that many deaths go unreported.
The UN agency also reported a significant jump in the number of infected healthcare workers: as of January 4, 838 healthcare workers had been infected and 495 of them had died.
Just a week earlier, the tally stood at 678 cases and 382 deaths, but WHO stressed the hike was mainly due to previously unreported cases in Sierra Leone and not to a surge in new infections. — AFP

Fire Service Strategic Planning I
Strategic Planning Textbook List - Order Form
Available about a month before the Winter 2020 term. Please click here after that date to request it.
Course description
Prerequisite: Five courses in the Certificate in Fire Service Administration
There are two objectives for this course. The first is that you, as student, learn the principles and practice of strategic planning. The second is that you demonstrate that knowledge to the course instructor. You must be happy that you understand what strategic planning is all about, then, with confidence, work on your assignments and prove your gain in knowledge!
Unit One
During this first unit, consider the whole idea of planning and specifically the difference (if any?) between planning a response to a particular type of incident and strategic planning as suggested in the material. The main objectives of Unit 1 of the course are to help you to:
- explain the composition of a fire protection system;
- understand what is meant by strategic planning;
- describe the need for a strategic plan; and
- explain the process and procedures included in the pre-planning phase.
Unit Two
The main objectives of Unit 2 of the course are to help you to:
- identify the primary procedural steps included in the planning phase;
- describe the composition and tasks to be performed in each procedural step; and
- draft the outline of a strategic plan based upon data available for your own community.
Unit Three
Upon completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- identify the primary procedural steps included in the planning phase;
- describe the composition and tasks to be performed in each procedural step; and
- draft the outline of a strategic plan based upon parameters provided from a case study.
Unit Four
The main objectives of Unit 4 of the course are to help you to:
- identify the procedures necessary for obtaining approval of the strategic plan;
- explain the procedures necessary to execute the strategic plan;
- describe the results achieved after the strategic plan has been implemented; and
- understand the management skills and concepts needed to monitor progress and
- ensure that the strategic plan is indeed implemented.
Unit Five
The main objectives of Unit 5 of the course are to help you to:
- recognize the feedback or cyclic nature of strategic planning;
- understand the management skills and concepts needed to evaluate whether the plan is working;
- identify the benchmarks against which the strategic plan performance can be measured;
- explain the role of training and disaster simulation or exercises; and
- describe the corrective measures that must be taken in case of problems.

How much you owe could be negatively impacting on how you feel.
There are many consequences to excessive debt. You could lose your home or possessions if you're not able to make repayments and your credit score could suffer. However, what is often less talked about is the way that debt can impact other areas of your lifeespecially if you have no credit check loans or other types of unsecured loans. From your relationships through to the way you feel about yourself there are many side-effects of excessive debt that anyone with debt issues could identify with.
What are the side-effects of excessive debt?
We all deal with life differently and the same is true for debt. One person might feel that $1,500 is an excessive debt whereas another person wouldn't feel that they owed an excessive amount until they reached a figure such as $20,000. What is excessive debt for one person might be easily manageable for another. Before you make any applications for debt, it's a good idea to work out what excessive debt means to you, based on your finances and your financial perspective. At what point might you feel that the level of debt you have is overwhelming? It's a good idea to do this before you start borrowing, as opposed to once you're in debt and you're already feeling – or facing – some of these side effects:
- A fear of the future. It can be difficult to enjoy your life and look forward to the future if you are living under the shadow of excessive debt.
- The spectre of bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a consequence of not being able to repay what you borrow so it is an obvious side-effect of excessive debt.
- Being evicted. If you're not able to keep up rent or mortgage repayments because you've run up excessive debts then you may find yourself losing the roof over your head as a result.
- Problems with key relationships. There are many interpersonal side-effects that can result from excessive debt and causing issues to arise in your important relationships is probably the most troubling. You may find yourself being short tempered with loved ones, resenting or blaming others or isolating yourself from people because you feel ashamed.
- Feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Excessive debt can turn an otherwise fairly balanced life into one that feels very unstable. You may begin to experience feelings of stress, anxiety and depression that are new – or which trigger problems that you've had in the past.
- Being unable to cope. Excessive debt can be very undermining. It can knock your confidence and self-esteem and lead to some bad decision making in order to try and resolve the situation – for example, borrowing money and taking on even more debt to pay off some existing debt. If the situation spirals then the end result may be that you feel unable to cope or see a way out of your circumstances.
- Losing your job or underperforming. The fallout of the emotional side-effects of excessive debt can make it difficult to concentrate and the loss of confidence can affect work performance. If you start to feel the pressure of losing your job as a result this can make the situation even worse.
Even if you are experiencing all of these side-effects of excessive debt there is always a way back. Reach out and ask for help today to get started.

where have you looked so far?
when you were looking for pictures of these things did you not find anything?
buster the crash test dummy Answered
where can i buy these items cheap;
>shock watch labels
>dragon skin rubber
i did but they are way expensive. they are like through the roof expensive .
if you have any shock watch labels (don't care the condition) can you mail them.
They are expensive for a reason. If you don't like it, that's too bad. Telling (not asking) people to give you stuff for free is surprisingly selfish, not to mention absurdy naive.
you're probably not going to find them cheaper - they cost what they cost.
I'm assuming you want to build your own version?
You've already found out; that will be expensive if you do it "properly" (why do you think they keep re-using Buster instead of making a new one for each test?).
So, improvise.
Find a window mannequin in a dumpster, disarticulate it and make your own joints. Instead of ballistic gel, fill it with gelatine ("jello"). If you can't find a mannequin, get an old fake-leather sofa, rip off the skin and sew it into a big doll. Make an armature from broom handles, with linked staples for joints.
Accelerometers are probably the only part you can't improvise, and they are available online for only a few dollars (for example, $11.80 from Sparkfun).
Just one thing: take plenty of photos as you build him, and post an Instructable.
i have a real crash test dummie ive said that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just need shock stickers and an accelerometer.
There's got to be something!!!!!!

Cape Town - Kelly Khumalo shared a risky shot of her bum similar to Kim K's "break the internet" Paper cover shoot on Instagram.Draped in green fabric, showing off her bare bum and all her tattoos, Kelly looks damn good! Styled by her sister, Zandile Khumalo, Kelly also shows off an elaborate head piece and golden metalic makeup.
She posted on Instagram: "When you are comfortable in who you are." And judging from the hashtags she used, we could be looking at the cover art for her upcoming album.

We slightly have changed the design. The back area is now made from "breathable" fabric in a combination of black and orange colours. This minimizes sweating and has a more attractive appearance.
The seat plate is now longer in the Large and Extra Large sizes and offers the pilot additional support to the legs combined with improved comfort. We have redesigned the shape of reserve handle. This is now lighter and is positioned higher; it is fastened with Velcro to the side of the harness.

Channels/Data Routing
In the Access Control lesson we discussed how the Couchbase Sync Gateway supports Authorization and Access Control functions. In this lesson we discuss how it can be used for Data Synchronization and Routing.
A Sync Gateway configuration file determines the runtime behavior of Sync Gateway, including server configuration and the database or set of databases with which a Sync Gateway instance can interact.
Sync Gateway uses channels to make it easy to share a database between a large number of users and control access to the database. Conceptually, a channel could be viewed as a tag. Every document in the database belongs to a set of channels, and a user is granted appropriate access a set of channels. A channel is used to:
Partition the data set.
Authorize users to access documents.
Minimize the amount of data synced down to devices.
In the :java/installation/sync-gateway-2.0.adoc section, we walked you through the steps to launch Sync Gateway with a specific config file.
Open the sync-gateway-config-travelsample.json file located at https://github.com/couchbaselabs/mobile-travel-sample/blob/master/sync-gateway-config-travelsample.json.
It includes the
sync function which is a JavaScript function whose source code is stored in the Sync Gateway's database configuration file.
/* Routing */
// Add doc to the user's channel.
channel("channel." + username);
Before you begin this lesson, confirm that you have Sync Gateway up and running by following the instructions in the :java/installation/sync-gateway-2.0.adoc section.
Starting with Sync Gateway 1.5 and Couchbase Server 5.0, mobile and server/web applications now have the ability to read and write to the same bucket. It is an opt-in feature that can be enabled in the Sync Gateway configuration file.
Prior to 1.5, sync metadata used by the Sync Gateway for replication with mobile clients was included within the documents as part of the
_sync property.
In 1.5, the sync metadata is moved into the Extended Attributes or XAttrs associated with the document.
This can be enabled through a configuration setting in the sync gateway config file.
Open the sync-gateway-config-travelsample.json file located at https://github.com/couchbaselabs/mobile-travel-sample/blob/master/sync-gateway-config-travelsample.json
"import_docs": "continuous",
"enable_shared_bucket_access": true
You can specify the Couchbase Server documents that need to be imported and processed by the Sync Gateway. In our demo, we will only be synchornizing the "user" document. So every other document type is ignored.
function(doc) {
/* Just ignore all the static travel-sample files */
if (doc._deleted == true ) {
return true;
if (doc.type == "landmark" || doc.type == "hotel" || doc.type == "airport" || doc.type =="airline" || doc.type == "route") {
return false;
return true;
Replication is the process by which clients running Couchbase Lite synchronize database changes with the remote (server) database.
Pull Replication is the process by which clients running Couchbase Lite download database changes from the remote (server) source database to the local target database.
Push Replication is the process by which clients running Couchbase Lite upload database changes from the local source database to the remote (server) target database.
Couchbase Mobile 2.0 introduces a brand new replication protocol which is implemented as a messaging protocol layered over WebSocket.
The replication process can be "continuous" or "`one shot"`.
In "Continuous" replication mode, the changes are continually synchronized between the client and Sync Gateway.
In "One shot" mode, the changes are synchronized once and the connection between the client and server disconnects. When any future changes need to be pushed up or pulled down, the client must start a new replication.
Open the file
We will review the method
startPushAndPullReplicationForCurrentUser(String username, String password).
public static void startPushAndPullReplicationForCurrentUser(String username, String password) {
First, you initialize the
URL object which points to the Sync Gateway instance to synchronize with.
public static String mSyncGatewayEndpoint = "ws://10.0.2.2:4984/travel-sample";
URI url = null;
try {
url = new URI(mSyncGatewayEndpoint);
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
Next, you will configure the replication.
ReplicatorConfiguration is initialized with the local database and URL of the target DB on Sync Gateway.
replicatorType in the Replicator Config specifies the type of replication.
In the code snippet in the Travel App, it is
pushAndPull indicating that both push and pull replication is enabled.

The upgrades were made under powers given to the committee in line with Clause 8, Article 74, of the 2013 constitution.
The new changes were approved by the committee yesterday in the capital city.
Authorised by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, Minister of Home Affairs Nguyen Thai Binh presented four proposals to establish Dong Trieu town in the northern coal mining province of Quang Ninh; Dien Ban town in the central province of Quang Nam; Bac Can city in the northern province and Bac Kan; and the new district of Ia H'Drai in the Central Highlands province of Kon Tum.
Most deputies agreed on the necessity to carefully review the criteria on making changes to administrative units so that the changes would conform to modern development principles.
This set of criteria was developed in the 1980s but the empowerment had been given to the National Assembly Standing Committee.
Dong Trieu town has a total area of about 40,000ha and a population of 173,141 people. The town has six wards and 15 communes.
Dien Ban town has about 21.8ha, 230,000 people, seven wards and 13 communes.
Bac Kan City has an area of 13,700ha with a population of 56,800 people living in six wards and two communes.
Ia H'Drai district has an area of more than 98,000 ha and 11,644 people living in three communes. — VNS

PHOTOS: Oslo Festival Warms Hearts in Chilly Norway
Tiffany Jothen and Ron Nickel
November 12, 2017
The Håpets Festival with Franklin Graham (or Festival of Hope in English) kicked off Saturday in Oslo, the largest city in Norway. For KING & COUNTRY filled the Oslo Spektrum arena with drum beats, later joined by a trombone, cello and other instruments.
Oslo is the center of Norwegian trade, banking, industry and shipping. In a country that lacks very little, it can be easy to look for happiness in material things, Franklin said. But the latest fashion, a big TV or a fancy Tesla (popular in Norway) can bring only temporary fulfillment, he went on. "We have a vacuum and an emptiness that
only God can fill
Music is big in Oslo, and Saturday didn't disappoint, with artists like The Afters, David André Østby and Lacey Sturm. This girl had one of the best views in the arena.
Audun Rensel, who appeared on The Voice Norway, was the first onstage with songs about Jesus Christ. "Christ is enough for me," he sang.
Gilles Gatete couldn't stand still as he worshiped along with the crowd.
The Afters sang some of their most popular songs like "Light Up the Sky."
Norwegian society is becoming more secular, but seeing young ones enjoy Gospel-centered music brings hope that future generations will put God first in their lives.
David André Østby is a popular Christian artist from Norway.
Franklin Graham's message was interpreted into Norwegian. "Did you know that God has a plan for your life?" he asked.
"Sin is a barrier; it's a wall between you and Almighty God. And sin has to be atoned for," Franklin said earlier in the night. "And the only way that can take place is through the shed blood of
Jesus Christ on the cross
." Many responded to his message as he shared how living a Christlike life can't be done alone. We must rely on the Holy Spirit's power to live as God wants us to.
Lacey Sturm spoke briefly about her life as a 16-year-old atheist who hated God and anyone who wanted to talk to her about Him. All that changed when she had a miraculous encounter with God Himself.
Gilles Gatete, exploding with praise earlier in the evening, later had a chance to counsel a young man who came forward in response to Christ.
Over 4,300 people filled seats in the arena Saturday after the Festival drew pushback from some in the area.
The Festival continues Sunday in Oslo. Please keep this city, and all of Norway, in your prayers.

SPRINGFIELD - In recent months, the Illinois Citizens Utility Board (CUB) surprised economic development and policy experts like Mark Glennon by staunchly supporting the Illinois Clean Jobs Bill.
Illinois Sen. Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) and Rep. Elaine Nekritz (D-Northbrook) introduced the bill in February, with the intent to increase energy efficiency and use of renewable resources, reduce carbon pollution and create jobs.
The Clean Jobs Bill has stalled for now, but proponents have signaled it will return. In fact, State Rep. Michael Zalewski (D-Summit) on Saturday held a "Clean Energy Town Hall" in Riverside at which CUB was a participant.
Glennon, managing director of Ninth Street Advisors, a consulting firm that assists emerging companies with financial planning and strategy, contends that no one has told consumers how much these new initiatives will cost them. That includes CUB, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that was created to represent the interests of residential utility customers in Illinois.
"Consumers in Illinois are totally unaware how much they're paying for these green energy solutions," Glennon said. "CUB is not providing good information, nor is anyone else."
"In other states, it's very easy to find their discussion, and it's in the billions of dollars for much smaller states," added Glennon, who also runs the online news site, WirePoints, and serves on Gov. Bruce Rauner's Innovate Illinois Advisory Council. "But you won't find a single article in Illinois with people talking about those numbers."
Following an effort launched by then consumer activist and now former Gov. Pat Quinn, the Illinois General Assembly created CUB in 1983. It directed the organization to advocate for residential utility customers by intervening in ratemaking proceedings at the Illinois Commerce Commission, in the courts and before other public bodies. The state statute also permits CUB to promote tougher consumer protection laws in the state legislature, and to provide consumers with assistance with their utility companies.
The law assigned a seat on the board for each Congressional district, but the website currently identifies members from nine of 18 districts.
The Illinois General Assembly set up CUB as a membership-based organization, with an initial $100,000 state loan and the ability to include membership flyers in utility bills. But, CUB's website says, after utilities blocked the inserts in federal court in 1986, the state legislature modified the law so CUB could include its membership flyers in mass mailings from state agencies.
CUB points out in its website that it is primarily funded by Illinois consumers.
According to IRS Form 990 data, CUB received $1.3 million in contributions and grants in 2013, with expenses of $1,926,592.
In 2013, the last year for which data is available, CUB ran a deficit of $611,378.
In four years, CUB's income has fallen by about 50 percent, from $2,577,532 in 2010 to $1,315,214 in 2013.
Assets dropped from $1,572,992 at the end of 2011 to $589,595 at the end of 2013.
In 2013, CUB paid executive director David Kolata $111,407.
In an interview on June 16, Kolata said the assets and income were somewhat misleading because the board operates two entities.
"The income in both goes up and down," he said. "We're still as effective."
Kolata said income was relatively stable overall.
He said the board has saved Illinois consumers $20 billion. The CUB website says it has saved consumers $10 billion.
CUB's website lists accomplishments for 2012 and 2013, stating that in each year the board beat back $300 million in rate hikes.
Pages for accomplishments last year and this year remain blank.
According to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, CUB has received at total of $1.9 million in state grants since 2007. During the years Quinn was governor, 2009-2015, CUB received $1.7 million in grants. Most of the grant money has been for public energy efficiency education and "to bolster the State's economy, promote a clean environment and improve the overall quality of life throughout the State of Illinois."
Charles Acquard, executive director of the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates, points out that the Illinois CUB is unique in the way it is funded. The other members of NASUCA are funded through direct appropriations from their states or receive a percentage of their funding through a charge on utilities.
"I don't think any other member has the ability to enlist membership through the mail, and they receive a lot of money through grants," Acquard said. "Not many go that route."
Acquard adds that the Illinois CUB is an effective organization, and even with limited resources, it has been able to successfully advocate for consumers in Illinois.
In April, CUB released its analysis of the Clean Jobs Bill, which, specifically, would require Commonwealth Edison and Ameren Illinois to use customer efficiency programs to reduce electricity demands by 20 percent by 2025. Among other things, the bill would also require 35 percent of the state's energy to come from renewable resources, such as solar and wind.
CUB contends that the legislation would save Illinois consumers more than $1.6 billion by 2030, or on average, about $100 each year moving forward.
"The numbers prove that the Illinois Clean Jobs Bill is the only energy legislation in Springfield that would actually spark customer savings," Kolata said in a news release. "At a time when customers are being hit hard by volatile power markets and rate-hike happy energy companies, our analysis shows that efficiency is the best way to keep out-of-control electricity bills in check."
Glennon agrees that while some initiatives in the bill will help consumers and lower prices, CUB fails to consider in its analysis the costs of shifting to alternative forms of energy in the coming years.
"This is not the cheapest alternative," Glennon said. "All proponents of the bill give aggregate numbers, but who knows if those numbers are accurate? They're their own studies. And even assuming they are accurate, they don't break the bill down."
Glennon contends that while the Illinois Clean Jobs Bill stalled in this session, he expects the same sponsors to pursue it again in the fall.

At Tollgate we believe in building a better future for our whole community. We ensure that we are able to provide a range of different activities and experiences that promote wellbeing and community cohesion.
We have created a code of conduct for all - The 5 C's, which is reflected in all we do and our everyday practice:

We believe 'British Values' helps to provide pupils with knowledge, skills and understanding to prepare them to play a full and active part in society.
"British Values should equip pupils with the skills and knowledge to explore political and social issues critically, to weigh evidence, debate and make reasoned arguments. It should also prepare pupils to take their place in society as responsible citizens." (The National Curriculum in England Framework Document (DfE) 2014).
Our well-balanced curriculum promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils and prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.

At Tollgate Primary School we listen to children's and parents' voices. Our school behaviour policy is clear that children are expected to contribute and co-operate, taking into account the views of others. The School Council also allows children to have a voice by participating in the election of class representatives and putting forward their views and suggestions.
We consistently reinforce our high expectations of children. Children are taught the value and reasons behind our expectations (school rules) that they are there to protect us, that everyone has a responsibility and that there are consequences when rules are broken.
Within school, children are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school we educate and provide boundaries for young children to make choices safely, through our provision of a safe environment and empowering teaching. Children are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms.
Part of our school ethos and behaviour policy has revolved around Core Values such as 'Respect', and children are modelled this by caring, sharing and listening to others. The staff help children to understand how to respect by talking about how actions/words can affect others.
We aim to enhance children's understanding of different faiths and beliefs by participating in a range of celebrations throughout the year. We encourage children and parents/carers to participate and support our multi-cultural events and celebrations.

Paintings and Protests in Pilsen
Art and culture might seem like a luxury at this dark moment, with the Trump administration's announcement that 200,000 Salvadorans who have lived here legally since 2001 will be forced to leave, and with young Dreamers brought to this country when they were just children left to face an uncertain status after the government reopened without Congress securing protections for them.
But when a people see their humanity denied, art is a defense of that humanity.
– We Need Protests. And Paintings from the New York Times by Héctor Tobar
A few months ago, I went into the neighborhood of Pilsen for a concert at Thalia hall. I had the day free, so I went in to explore the National Museum of Mexican art. It was recommended to me by a few friends and I was excited to see the museum and explore the neighborhood a little.
It was an early April day and it was snowing. I took refuge in the art museum and found an exhibit by Chicano artist, Luis Tapia. The exhibit was called "Sculpture as Sanctuary".
"For many, sanctuary can signify a holy place, a refuge, a ritual, a haven, or an oasis. It can also mean home, family, community, religion, and identity. The exhibition, "Luis Tapia: Sculpture as Sanctuary" engages and critiques contemporary global themes of Sanctuary and highlights the hand-carved masterworks by Luis Tapia (b.1950), a Chicano artist from Nuevo México."- NMOMA
The first piece that greets you in the space, was this one. Liberty is dying and crying. Her "freedom" for her people is built on the death of indigenous peoples. Her dress is adorned with the fear stricken faces of her people.
Talk about a gut punch. Oof.
A lot of Luis Tapia's pieces reference religious symbols from Chicano culture.
Like Our Lady Guadalupe and even Jesus himself.
All of Tapia's pieces felt visceral to me.
They are sucker punches of commentary on religious thinking and abuse, as well as abuse and violence that is projected and pressured upon immigrants (and just POC in general) in our country.
This last piece stuck with me. It was supposed to represent pedophilia. The young girl is dressed for her baptism. She represents the purest of souls. The most innocent. And behind her is the monster of pedophilia. It holds different items trying to seduce her. Things like toys, candy, phones, and even a cross. On the backside of this sculpture is a cage that holds three crying children. I didn't get a picture of it, because it's really disturbing and hard to look at? It felt wrong to take a picture of something that depicted such horrible pain and suffering.. Idk how to explain it without sounding like an Overly Sensitive Sally™.
Separate from the stunning sculptural work that Tapia offered in this exhibit, I LOVED how this was curated.
The simple red walls with the lighting was the perfect way to display these pieces.
I freakin' love curation and thinking about exhibits as a whole (thanks to my fiancé) and this one definitely left an impression on me. Like I can see it still when I close my eyes. UGH!
After I left the Tapia exhibit, I walked around to look at the permanent collection that the museum has. There were so many beautiful pieces that depicted Mexican culture, celebrated Mexican people, and executed beautiful technique, detail, and storytelling through the art.
I literally cannot believe this place is free.
This was my favorite piece from the museum. I stared at this for at least twenty minutes. This painting is by Jesus Helguera and it depicts the Aztec legend of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl.
In the legend, the volcanoes used to be humans who were madly in love. Popocatépetl was a warrior and in love with the Princess Iztaccíhuatl. Iztaccíhuatl's father told Popocatépetl that if he wanted to be with his daughter, he had to be on the front line of a particular battle and return with the head of the enemy. (Basically ensuring his death, lol.) Popocatépetl goes to battle and a false message is sent back to Iztaccíhuatl, telling her that Popocatépetl was killed (but he actually won the battle). Immediately, Iztaccíhuatl becomes ill with grief and sorrow and she dies of a broken heart. Popocatépetl returns victorious, only to find his love dead. He carries her body into the mountains and builds a funeral pyre for the both of them. He lies next to Iztaccíhuatl and dies. The Gods saw this and decided to make the two into mountains so that they could be together for forever. "They remain so to this day with Popocatépetl residing over his princess Iztaccíhuatl, while she lay asleep. On occasion, Popo will spew ash, reminding those watching that he is always in attendance, that he will never leave the side of his beloved Izta." (The Legend of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl)
I'm not sure why this particular painting and legend stuck with me.
Maybe it was because it was a story about a love so strong that the world literally changed to make space for it?
Maybe it was because it was just a beautiful painting?
I'm not sure.
But I was SO excited when I left the museum and later found a mural on the street of the same painting!
This Aztec legend is so important to Mexican culture, because it tells the story of the mountains that surround Mexico City. The volcanos themselves represent a great creative inspiration for Mexican peoples and I'm just IN LOVE with this legend, its importance, and its beauty. Ugh!
I started this little post with a quote from a New York Times article that has meant a lot to me. I know as a white lady, I have a lot of work to do to better support POC. I know that in my attempt to work for racial equality, I need to support and uplift POC artists. Because their work is important. Their work is human. And their work is just objectively damn good. It only seems right that I end this post with the end of the article.
Resisting the spread of hatred requires all sorts of actions. Go to a march, call your representative — but also bring a great work of literature by an immigrant writer to your book club and support arts education everywhere.
When we feel powerless to stop the hatred and injustice directed at our people, we should remember art's potential to enlighten the uninformed and to slowly eat away at prejudice.
This has happened before in the United States. In the early decades of the last century, during the depths of Jim Crow, with its lynchings and de jure segregation, the Harlem Renaissance was born. It was a cultural prelude to a civil rights movement that changed the very notion of what American identity is.
I feel a renaissance coming. I see it in the discipline and ambition of our young people. They eat Oaxacan mole and Korean kimchi, and they read, joke and create in Spanish, Amharic, Creole and Arabic. But above all, they also employ the same language used by James Joyce and James Baldwin: English, spoken with accents from the Midwest, New Jersey and East Los Angeles, and all the other places they call home.
Light & Love,
P.S. Get ur butt to the National Museum of Mexican Art. Ok?!
Go Cubs Go!

WOW! Thank you for giving us your perspective on this museum. That first image of Lady Liberty is so overwhelming. What a way to begin that experience.
Hi Emma thanks for all this great info. Where e actly in Pilsen is the mural of the legend of el popo and Itza? I would love to take my engagement photos in front of it.
Thank you
Hi! This is such a great idea!
The mural I found was on the side of Benny's Pizza #2 in Pilsen. It's literally right down the Street from Thalia Hall! I hope that helps!!
