Walk - Barnstaple - Short Estuary Walk
Walk information provided with help from Natural England. Map reproduced by permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of HMSO. © Crown copyright and database right 2020. Ordnance Survey Licence number 100022021.
Route Description
- From the front of Barnstaple Station turn left and follow the signs for the South West Coast Path and the Tarka Trail towards Braunton and Ilfracombe, through two underpasses and onto the new bridge across the River Taw.
Barnstaple railway station is the terminus of the Tarka Line, a 39 mile long branch line, from Exeter St Davids. From 1874 to 1970 it was known as Barnstaple Junction being the junction between lines to Ilfracombe, Bideford, Taunton and Exeter.
The Station Master's Cafe at Barnstaple station was opened in 2008 by Mike Day in one of the 'closed' areas of the station building. In 2009 it appeared in The Guardian's list of the ten best station cafes.
In May 2007 a new bridge over the River Taw was opened as part of congestion-relief scheme designed to take road traffic away from the town centre. The 5 span bridge is almost 450 yards long.
- At the end of the bridge turn left and follow the path along the old railway track beside the estuary.
The South West Coast Path follows the disused track of the London & South Western Railway Branch Line that ran between Barnstaple and Ilfracombe. The branch opened as a single-track line in 1874, but was so popular that it needed to be upgraded to double-track in 1889. Trains such as the Atlantic Coast Express and the Devon Belle both started and terminated at Ilfracombe. For nearly a century the line brought much-needed revenue into this corner of the county before being closed in 1970. Passenger numbers had dropped dramatically in the years following World War Two. This was due to a massive increase in the number of cars using Britain's roads.
- After you have passed the last buildings out of Barnstaple, the path to the right a couple of miles ahead will take you up to the road at Ashford, from where you can catch the bus back to Barnstaple for the shortest version of this walk (2¾ miles one way, or 4.25km).
Continuing on the path for a further 500m will lead you to the distinctive castellated towers of The Braunton Inn. Before being renamed and reopened in 2012, it was known as The Tarka Inn. Originally called Heanton Court, it had been an ancient manor house for distinguished families descended from King Edward IV. During the 19th Century, the great house began to be let out to farmers, its castellated towers making it one of the grandest farmhouses in North Devon. In the 1930's, pleasure flights to Lundy Island would land in the grounds.
Nearby refreshments
Barnstaple, Ashford's Trelawney Garden Centre, pub and restaurant in Wrafton, pubs, restaurants and tearooms in Braunton

Faith and Fun
The Exuberant Paintings of Amos Ferguson
The pictures of Bahamian Amos Ferguson shine with
the ordinary house paint he uses to portray his own deep Baptist
faith, animal symbolism and private myth. I had first discovered
Amos Ferguson's work through the illustrations he did for the children's
book, Under the Sunday Tree (Harper and Row 1988) . I was charmed
by his brilliant colors and naive yet witty interpretation of the
world. One of fourteen children, Amos Ferguson was born on the island
of Exuma and came to Nassau as a young man to become a house painter.
But soon images came to him first "as stars" and then and as complete
as phototographs in his mind's eye. Today he's achieved international
success as The Bahamian who uses housepaint to portray ordinary
and fantasy Bahamian scenes with what gallery owner, Ute Stebich
calles his "generous and smiling attitude toward life." I wanted
to meet Amos Ferguson so I called him to ask whether I could interview
him. His wife Bea answered and welcomed me, "You come this side
by the Grace of God; your feet will be guided!" The next week I
flew to Nassau on New Providence Island in The Bahamas.
Amos Ferguson signs all his paintings with the
word PAINT. In Nassau, I visited "PAINT," the astonishing permanent
collection of Amos Ferguson's paintings upstairs in the Pompey Museum
then I made my way to his simple wood house on Nassau Street.
I took ginger beer with Amos and Bea Ferguson and
sitting in their tiny front room surrounded by his paintings is
like sitting in a garden. Amos Ferguson's paintings depict the charm
of tropical life. His exuberant scenes invited me to go fishing,
turtle hunting and picnicking on the beach --- to become witness
to a world in which not only color, but life itself is joyously
intensified. "My husband studies the world like he's studying the
Bible," Bea told me, but Amos preferred to put it this way:
"God creates beautiness; I just paint it!" Amos
Ferguson's profound Baptist faith and the exuberant abandon of the
Bahamian celebration of Junkanoo suffuse his work with joy, with
love and with "beautiness."

Maureen Dischino, Executive Director of Admissions
Maureen (pictured left) oversees the Admissions Office staff and operations and works closely with the office's Associate Directors, who each share different aspects of managing the office and staff. In her words– "The admissions world is a fast paced and exciting environment and the Wentworth Admissions Staff are passionate about our work with students, families, and guidance counselors."
Maureen's biggest piece of advice for Wentworth applicants: "Make sure to answer everything that is asked in the application. Take time with your essay and let us know why you think Wentworth is the right college for you. And, under the activity section, be sure to include all of your high school activities, awards received, places you have volunteered, and any jobs you may have had. We want to know as much about you as possible!"
Her favorite spot on Wentworth's campus: "Without a doubt, the Quad. I love it most in spring when the cherry blossom trees and the flowers are blooming. I forget that I am in a big city because I am surrounded by green grass and beautiful landscaping. And, I love the fact that students gather there to study, play Frisbee, or simply to relax."

Our pork comes from two farms in County Cavan, via Coogans in Trim who deliver it to us on the bone. Our pork is not vacuum packed and it's all Bord Bia approved.
We have loin pork roast with the rind on or off. Because it's processed the old way, our pork rind gives the perfect crackling.
We do leg, shoulder, loin and breast of pork. One of our specialties is belly pork roast with apple stuffing.
We offer pork joints in cooking bags. A shoulder of pork done properly in the oven could take 5 or 6 hours. In a cooking bag, that's cut to just two and a half hours. The bag preserves the moisture and the meat cooks in its own juices, making it more tender, flavoursome and succulent.
We also have baby-backed barbeque Peking ribs in cooking bags, which only takes an hour. It's fall off the bone, melt in your mouth stuff!

This article has an infographic
Imagine sitting at your computer with a dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Suddenly you realize that you are being offered to be a part of the "revolution" by supporting this new blockchain project. The project is raising funds through an ICO (Initial Coin Offering), and they really want you to be a part of it. They are offering a significant return on investment and many other benefits. Not exactly knowing what just happened you start to feel FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). You decide to invest in the hope that risk will pay off and that this is your big move into the entrepreneurship waters.
From this point, there are two scenarios.
The first scenario - ICO is finished, everything is going great, and one year later, you have pocketed a fantastic profit.
The second scenario - ICO is finished, months are passing by, the project is constantly being delayed, and finally, it gets canceled. The price of the tokens goes to zero. All investors have lost everything.
In order to make sure these investment decisions are not made by pure luck, we have decided to craft a guide for investing in the ICOs together with the chapter about the scams and how to spot one.
Remember, knowledge is power, or in this case, something that will allow you to make informed decisions about your investments in the world full of great opportunities and great uncertainties as well.
What are cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are decentralized digital currencies designed to work as a means of exchange. They are called cryptocurrencies because they use cryptography in order to secure and verify transactions as well to control the creation of new units of a particular currency. With them, you can make transactions without middleman or central authority. Cryptocurrency transactions are stored and recorded in public, digital ledger called blockchain. The Blockchain is a new fast-growing technology which enables transparency in the decentralized networks, brings security to the online world and enables faster, easier and more affordable solutions compared to the existing infrastructure in the majority of industries.
The rise of cryptocurrencies is almost synonymous with the rise of the infamous Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital currency which means that it uses cryptography and exists only electronically. It does not have a central authority or regulatory body and the value of the coins is determined by the simple supply and demand law. Bitcoin's whitepaper emerged in 2008 by the author with pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. First Bitcoin transaction happened in 2009, 2 pizzas were paid 10,000 Bitcoins. Considering the current price of Bitcoin, that was definitely most expensive pizza in the world. Since then a lot of things have changed. Today there are thousands of cryptocurrencies looking to find their place under the sun. Other notable cryptocurrencies are Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, Monero, and many others.
How exactly cryptocurrencies work?
Cryptocurrency run thanks to the combined effort of miners that verify transactions. Transactions are pseudonymous and can't be reversed. They are made possible by the combination of a public and a private key. Here are some of the key concepts about the technology:
• Miners
Miners verify transactions on the blockchain; they are a sort of regulatory body for the cryptocurrency. In order to verify transactions, miners need to solve complex mathematical problems. They have nothing to do with the digital currency except validating the transaction. Miner is not a middleman. Miners make cryptocurrency legitimate and as a reward, they get some amount of newly generated coins. The amount depends on the specific cryptocurrency. This coin-generating procedure is standard for most cryptocurrencies, although there are some currencies with all coins pre-mined.
• Transactions
The most important thing about blockchain transactions is that they cannot be reversed. That is why it is crucial to double check the transactions.
A common misconception about these types of transactions is that they are anonymous. That is not exactly the case. They are pseudonymous, not anonymous. Blockchain addresses are random chains of around 30 characters which is a "pseudonymous part." Most cryptocurrency exchanges require your identification for the registration form. When the user performs transactions with these exchanges, it is possible to track transaction back to the user. There are some cryptocurrencies that have exceptional technology in place to keep the users anonymous, but the exits from the network are also monitored.
• Public and Private Key
In order to keep transactions on the blockchain secure, cryptocurrencies use public key encryption (PKE). Cryptocurrency funds are locked in a personal wallet secured with a public key cryptography system. Every user gets their own unique public key and a private key. The public key is visible to everyone; it has to be in order to keep track of the transactions. The private key, as the name suggests, should be known only to you. You use your private key in order to complete transactions which are sent to your public key.
Think of it like this: your public key is your unique lock, visible to everyone, while your private key is a key to that lock, visible only to you. Funds are sent to your public key while your private key is used to access your wallet where your coins are stored. Giving away or losing your private key potentially means losing your funds, so be careful when handling it.
What determines the value of a cryptocurrency?
The essential thing to know about investing in cryptocurrencies is that its price is extremely volatile. That being said, you should not be scared of investing if you are familiar with the market, companies, and cryptocurrency future endeavors. There are a few essential things to consider when analyzing cryptocurrencies potential:
• Use of the Coin/Token
There are many things you can do with coins/tokens. They can be used as a means of transaction, as a stock or company share or as a way of transferring data. If the token is multifunctional, it will surely rise in its value. A great case study of the multifunctional value of the token is Ether.
Fuel that runs Ethereum network is Ether, its token. This network can handle transactions and also handle transmission of data. This means Ethereum can provide web applications on the platform which are known as DApps.
Another novelty that Ethereum brought us is the application of smart contracts. There are lines of code that act as 'contracts' for whatever is being worked on. The smart contract will execute depending on whether the terms are met or not. This is another great application of Ethereum Blockchain network. You can see its real value in constructing awesome blockchain-based applications.
• Token's Future Potential
Best tokens are the ones that constantly innovate. When established and trusted company announce innovations on the platform it is likely that the value of the token will go up. The constant innovation is the only way to survive in crowded cryptocurrency market. Outdated tokens can lose its value over the night. Being up to date with the market dynamics is essential for every aspiring crypto investor. Again, Ethereum is a great example here. The platform that constantly tries to reinvent itself. And this is one of the main reasons why their token Ether is firmly standing as one of the most valuable ones over a long period of time.
• Events and Media Coverage
Analysing media coverage of a cryptocurrency is one of the main assets investors possess. Good publicity can dramatically affect token prize. Bad publicity can destroy it. There are two types of media coverage every token can get:
• Cryptocurrency Media Coverage
Events in a crypto sphere are a good opportunity to present company's team to the public. Also, it is a decent way of announcing news related to the project. All of this can raise awareness about the project inside the crypto community. This can lead to public gaining trust towards the company which results in token price growth.
• Mainstream Media Coverage
This is still fairly rare occurrence but it can have huge consequences. If a cryptocurrency can gain some mainstream media coverage it means that it can stand up from the bunch of others. Big companies can decide to implement blockchain technology which can result in a significant price jump. This happened when Toyota and Microsoft confirmed they are involved with Ethereum.
What is an ICO?
Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a relatively new phenomenon in the cryptocurrency world that really took off in 2017. In short, ICO is a method of raising funds for the upcoming blockchain project. The company that announces ICO sells the tokens they have created in exchange for Bitcoin, Ether, or FIAT currencies. By analogy, it is possible to compare ICOs to Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) in which investors purchase the shares of the company. Instead of shares, investors of ICOs purchase newly created tokens hoping that they will gain in value in the future.
It has become easier to structure and launch an ICO because of the technologies like ERC20 Token Standard which have made creating a new cryptocurrency asset fairly simple. This means that there are a lot of ICOs in the market and it is essential for investors to be able to differentiate the good ones from the bad ones.
ICO market is still unregulated at this moment, which is both good and bad. It is good in the way that a lot of very ambitious projects can be launched and there is nothing to hold ideas back. The bad side of the lack of regulations reflects in the numerous ICO scams that are happening.
How to detect scam ICOs?
In order to protect yourself from the scams you will need to be familiarized with the following concepts:
• Pyramid/Ponzi Schemes
These are ones of the most common scams. It is not hard to reveal them. You will need to be very careful of the companies that guarantee you a huge return on investments. Be aware, Ponzi schemes might not look like scams in the beginning but time is their enemy, they can't hold a scheme for a very long time.
Stay clear of an abnormal interest rate. Keep in mind that no one can give you 10% daily, or 100% monthly, that is simply not realistic.
• Unrealistic Goals
Does project make bold claims about their product? Are the claims backed up by vague and unclear paths of implementing? If so, watch out.
Some ICOs share their goals of changing the internet, disrupting world banking system, ending poverty and so on. Ask yourself, how realistic is that? Unfortunately, a lot of these huge claims are backed up by one big nothing. It is always better to invest in the projects that are more realistic and have a development plan with could lead to some amazing results in 5 to 10 years from the ICO date.
• Buzzword Salad
You probably read announcements that give a lot of promises without a clear way to implement them. It looks great when you first read it, but when you sit down and analyze it you will find empty promises and vague claims.
Look for clear information about the project, exclude all the big words and just see what the plan is. If you cannot digest the clear plan of the company it is safe to assume that is filled with buzzword salad. This is a bad symptom of ICO's legitimacy.
• Aggressive Marketing Campaign
This is a bad sign for an ICO. Some of them will use techniques like Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) in order to lure you into their scam schemes. Great ICOs don't need this sort of marketing. They let their project speak for themselves. Don't fall for "get rich quick" schemes, they are rarely true.
How to invest in a smart way?
There are levels to the game of investment. We can't promise you will become investment guru overnight but if you follow these simple rules you surely will not get scammed. And that is a good starting point.
• Do not rush!
Do not be manipulated with marketing strategy, be firm and rational when investing. You will certainly feel like you are missing out on some ICOs, but keep in mind that impulsive decision cannot bring any good in crypto business.
• Do not be greedy!
This is extremely important; being greedy in crypto investing is a highway to hell. Keep in mind that a lot of ICO projects will fail, and some of them were never intended to succeed. Being responsible when making decisions will keep you from losing an ICO investment.
• As a token holder, what do you gain?
Some projects will claim that their token is an amazing revolutionizing project, but when you do your research you will find that actually, you gain nothing. On the other hand, there are some innovative projects where you will get so much for holding or using their token. It is crucial to patiently try to find those projects. Is the token necessary, is it useful? Find out before investing.
• The interest of others is not necessarily yours.
Cryptocurrency industry is a young industry and it is very hard to find acclaimed experts in such a young field. Because of that, your own research should be the primary option. Some people may pose as an independent crypto analyst but there is so many paid content it is difficult to see past that. Always be extra cautious.
• Avoid asking - "What is the best ICO at the moment?"
Doing this is a great way of bringing a crowd of ICO marketers at your feet. Nobody wants that! If you cannot independently differ good ICOs from the bad ones, ICO investing may be riskier.
• Make sure you understand the project before investing.
Never invest in a project you do not fully understand! Try to get a grasp of the basic Blockchain concepts, of some business rules and then you will be able to successfully analyze the project. Try answering the following questions:
1. Who is involved with the project?
2. What is the project about?
3. When are implementations taking place?
4. Where will it lead us to?
5. Why is the project happening?
When you answer these questions you may be able to decide whether you want to invest or not.
• Invest only what you can afford to lose.
Last but not least, the general rule of investment. People have invested their whole life savings into the bad project. Needless to say, please do not do that. There is nothing as important or promising to go all in. ICO investing is a great opportunity to grow your budget, but risk management is extremely important.
Things to Check in Order to Invest Responsibly in an ICO
Single most important advice is that you do your research before investing. This is a general investment rule, but in the ICO world, it is basically an axiom of the smart investment. In order to properly research an ICO project you will need to research following things:
• Whitepaper
This is the foundation of every ICO. The whitepaper is a single most important document you will have as an investor. Good ICO will showcase everything you need to know about the company, project, tokens, development plans, and usage of the token.
Look carefully at the implementations of the project, if you do not clearly understand what the project is about you should probably stay away from it. Great whitepapers are the ones with clear explanation of the project, its value, and step-by-step implementation. They should contain valuable charts, calculations, simulations, specifications, etc.
• Roadmap
In the whitepaper, you should be able to find a roadmap which can tell you a lot about project's legitimacy. Focus on the clear explanation of how the funds will be spent. Funds are usually spent gradually following a certain plan which will lead to a final platform. Having a precise plan of spending funds will expose any future delays, so bad ICOs will intentionally make their roadmap vague.
• Finances
Pay close attention to the financial details.
1. Are the funds for the team locked for a certain amount of time? (usually 24 months)
2. Did the founders take the big cut of the funds? (usually less than 10%)
3. Will the company burn unsold tokens or simply transfer them to reserve? (usually, burn)
If the answers to these questions are looking shady, maybe it would be a good idea to look elsewhere.
• Team and Advisors
An available and professional team is a great sign of a legitimate ICO. Check other projects of the team members in order to find out about their credibility. Try to get in contact with them in order to find out all the details of the project. Stay away from almost anonymous teams without links to their profiles or even a picture in some cases. Trust is one of the key assets you can have as an investor so make sure to make the best use of it.
• Is there a working project?
Often companies that launch ICO already have a working prototype of the platform. Check that project, see how it works. The best way to learn about the company is to analyze their product. Cryptocurrency world is no different here.
• Does the project really need blockchain?
If the project can be implemented without Blockchain, what is the use? Some companies will launch an ICO out of pure greed. Be aware of that. They capitalize on the lack of knowledge. Because of that, make sure you learn all you can about the project before investing.
If you closely follow these rules you should do okay on your journey to ICO investment land. Cryptocurrency market is yet expected to reach its peak, so it is never late to start. A lot of people made their dreams come true with crypto investing because they took it seriously. We hope you will find this guide helpful and wish you the best of luck in your future investment endeavors!

.AT Domain Registrations
Austria's country-code top-level domain name – .AT, was introduced in 1988 and it is well-liked not only among Austrian users, but also amongst foreigners as it can be used to book inventive domains. A number of illustrations are form.at, autom.at, or idioms such as youarewelcome.at, and so on. In this fashion, people who visit your site can bear in mind your website name amazingly easy and share it with associates, acquaintances and family. There are a lot of catchy domain name combinations untaken. Then again, with an .AT domain name, you can possess a website that concentrates on Austrian Internet users and your website is more likely to position higher in regional search results when compared to a site that makes use of a gTLD. The end result is that you can very easily get in touch with millions of people and offer merchandise and/or services on the Internet.
You can secure a dot AT domain for 1 year at a time and we are one of the companies that provide the top-level domain to the public, because dot AT domain names cannot be booked directly with the Registry organization. There do not exist terms on who can book such a domain name, so you can get your .AT domain and commence using it virtually within minutes. You can handle your domain's DNS records (A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV, etc. records) using the Hepsia Control Panel tool. The solitary .AT domain name registration rule is that the owner – an individual or a company, is required to present their name the way it is spelled legally. Unfortunately, transfers between registrars are not supported by this top-level domain.
.AT Domain Name Management with Grab Bag Hosting
Our full-featured, and easy-to-navigate Domain Manager can be used by both experienced web site owners and hosting newbies. It gives you everything that you need so as to take care of a variety of domain names simultaneously from the very same location. Your domains' DNS and WHOIS controls are entirely under your control.
The Domain Manager is, actually, an essential part of the Web Hosting Control Panel. This means that you'll be in a position to control not only your domains, but, in addition your websites, without actually leaving the Control Panel, on the sole condition that you also have a hosting account here.

Chances are you've heard the term, "employment at will," or seen it written in an employee handbook or on a job application at one time or another. Knowing what it means can help you understand your rights and know when you are eligible to take legal action against an employer.
Employment at will means an employee can be fired at any time for any reasons, aside from reasons that break a law. There are certain reasons employers are not able to terminate your employment, most of which relate to discrimination or harassment in the workplace. Aside from those, employers are free to let you go at any time and there is very little you can do to protect your job.
New York and every state other than Montana permit employers to fire employees without a reason. Montana law protects employees who have successfully completed a probation period from being fired without a stated reason from being fired. Other states provide the freedom for employers to adopt at-will policies, which must be stated when you apply for a job and are hired. You will know in advance whether you are accepting a job from which you can be terminated at any time for no reason.
What are Your Rights?
Though it appears this law makes it possible for anyone to be fired at any time, it can actually be challenging for an employer to prove an employee was fired for "no reason" or defend against a claim of an illegal job termination.
There are instances in which an employee might be given no reason for his or her dismissal, but the true reason behind the termination makes it illegal. For instance, if an older employee is let go and a younger employee is hired to replace that person, the company looks guilty of breaking a discrimination law, even if that was not their intention. If the older employee can prove a colorable claim of discrimination, the employer will need to do is show that the older employee was derelict in performing his or her job duties, broke company policy, was part of an employee downsizing program in which employees from all walks of life were terminated or some other legitimate reason.
Another instance in which you have a right to protect your employment is when your work is governed by an employment contract that promises job security. The contract must outline the reasons for which you can be terminated and specify a time for which it is valid. As long as you honor the requirements of the contract, your employer cannot terminate you. These can be individual contracts or collective bargaining agreements that protect a broad class of workers.
More on Discrimination
One of the most common reasons terminated employees fight employment at will laws is because they believe they were fired for a reason – an illegal one. Your employer is not permitted to terminate you because of anything related to your age (as in the example mentioned above), religion, race, color, gender or gender status, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation. If you believe this to be the case, it is imperative you speak to an employment law attorney. Furthermore, you cannot be terminated for reporting harassment or any other misconduct, or for using family and medical leave (FMLA) benefits, serving in the military, voting, or spending time away from your job to serve jury duty.
If you believe your rights have been violated or would like to learn more about employment at will, contact Borrelli & Associates, P.L.L.C. to discuss your case.

Former Dean of the Royal Postgraduate Medical School at the Hammersmith Hospital, London, and Professor of Medicine at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne died peacefully on 20th April 2014 after suffering Alzheimer's disease.
Although David Kerr was born in Hackney, London, he came from a family with roots in the Scottish border country and was educated at George Watson's School in Edinburgh. He maintained strong links with Edinburgh studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh and qualifying MBChB with Honours in 1951. He undertook house physician and surgeon posts in Edinburgh and returned to Edinburgh after studying anatomy at the University of Wisconsin and gaining an MSc. After further postgraduate training in general medicine in Edinburgh he moved to the Hammersmith Hospital where he developed a special interest in liver disease. He worked with Professor Sheila Sherlock and during this time in a Lancet paper described the use of spironolactone, an antagonist of aldosterone, in the treatment of ascites in hepatic cirrhosis, this approach is still in use 56 years later.
It was during this time at the Hammersmith that he met his future wife who was a sister on ward B1.
In 1959 he moved to Newcastle as First Assistant to Professor George Smart to enhance his expertise in hepatology,but with the specific additional task of developing the then new specialty of nephrology. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in Medicine and Consultant Physician at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in 1963, awarded a personal Chair in Medicine in 1968 and appointed Professor of Medicine in 1971. He moved back to the Hammersmith Hospital in 1983 as Dean of the Royal Postgraduate Medical School.
In Newcastle his excellence in clinical work, teaching, research and personal relationships was quickly recognised. He set an example to the whole team with his personal dedication to the welfare of his patients and inspired loyalty in staff at all levels. He was one of the first in the UK to establish treatment of irreversible renal failure by long term dialysis and transplantation and with William Drukker and Stanley Shaldon one of the 3 founders of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association (EDTA). He was the first Editor-in-Chief of EDTA Proceedings serving from 1964 to 1970 and was President of the Congress of the EDTA in 1983. In 1986 he was only the sixth person to receive Honorary Membership of the European Renal Association/EDTA in its 23 years of existence.
In the early days of dialysis, machines were cumbersome, difficult to set up and unreliable and the early disposable Kolff twin coil dialyser was prohibitively expensive. Lack of space also made hospital dialysis stations difficult to provide leading to a degree of rationing. David Kerr did not accept this and undertook a vigorous expansion of services by taking over a redundant ENT hospital as a large scale dialysis facility. He rapidly expanded home haemodialysis and later peritoneal dialysis. He also encouraged the development of independent renal units in District General Hospitals around the Northern Region.
He developed a dedicated renal laboratory which dealt with both routine clinical biochemical analyses and research studies greatly facilitating his many epidemiological and laboratory studies. He undertook long term studies of reflux nephropathy, analgesic nephropathy, glomerulonephritis and renal transplant recipients. His main interest however was in the problems arising in patients undergoing long term dialysis and transplantation, in particular that of bone disease.
After several years of dialysis patients developed bone pain and fractures with features on bone biopsy and Xray of both osteomalacia and osteitis fibrosa. The introduction of 1,25 dihyroxy-cholecalciferol, by-passing the diseased kidneys impaired ability to activate vitamin D didn't help. The answer came when Kerr and his team noted that dialysis dementia, known to be due to aluminium deposition in the brain, was more common in patients who also had bone disease. Bone biopsy confirmed deposition of aluminium in ossification fronts. The source of aluminium was the public water supply in Newcastle, to which it had been added to remove the brown pigment picked up from the peat in the moorland in its drainage area. Treatment of water for dialysis by deionisation and reverse osmosis to remove aluminium solved the problem.
In addition to his academic activities David remained committed to his patients and even now, 30 years since he left Newcastle, patients express their gratitude for his care. He supervised many research fellows both British and international with special links with India, Sudan and Cameroon. With the support of his wife Eleanor he supported their social as well as professional lives and established lifelong bonds of friendship.
David returned to Hammersmith as Dean of the Royal Postgrauate Medical School in 1983, serving in that role until 1991. He steered the RPMS through difficult times in terms of finance and governance, and was greatly liked and respected by staff at all levels. On his retirement, the article about his work in 'The Special' had the entirely apt title 'In the pursuit of excellence - touched with humanity'.
Even whilst Dean, David remained a clinician at heart and made a valuable contribution to the care of renal patients, including regular reviews of those on haemodialysis. He always found time to provide wise advice to colleagues in his various areas of interest. He remained a dedicated teacher and established the Diploma of Nephrology Course, which attracted students from across the world. Many of those went on to become leaders in nephrology in their own countries and kept in touch with him for many years after they left.
Thoughout his life, David made major contributions to national academic life, which were recognised in 1991 when he was made CBE. In particular, he had a long and fruitful association with the Royal College of Physicians. He gave the Goulstonian (1968) and the Lumleian (1983) lectures, was Censor (1982 - 84) and Senior Censor (1990 - 91). He served as Editor of the College Journal 1994 - 98. He was President of the Renal Association from 1980 - 83, and Chairman of the National Kidney Research Fund (now Kidney Research UK) from 2000 - 2002. In the latter role he took a personal interest in the work of the fellows, and started the Annual Fellows Day which has remained the highlight of the year for the Charity. Kidney Research UK are about to launch a new Senior Clinical Fellowship in his honour.
David was a man with a great Christian faith which guided all aspects of his life including his dealings with patients, staff and colleagues, without consideration for his own personal interests. He married Eleanor in 1961 and had a daughter and two sons who survive him. He enjoyed a happy family life and he and Eleanor were generous hosts to his local and international friends. It was a privilege to know David for all those came into contact with him.

A sneak pick to the future: new brain impant technology
In 2012 the quadriplegic Jan Scheuermann had two electrode groups inserted in her brain`s left motor cortex. After a week she could actually use the implant in order to set in motion a prosthetic arm in all three dimensions. Also, as a bonus she could manage to move her wrist in an additional dimension.
It is rather difficult to value advances like this made in the field of brain computer interfaces or BCIs. It is known that setting up certain functions to specific places is very hard to achieve. We can take as an example the TMS stimulation where the most useful response acquired for activating an cortical motor area is a common placing of the thumb back into the plane of the palm. This is the starting point in calibrating coil`s setting and power. So, we shouldn`t be surprised by the fact that scientists managed to add more subtle thumb control to the current series of prosthetic powers.
To offer a more detailed explanation, the new functions they want to achieve are finger extension, thumb opposition, finger and thumb pinch and something more abstract called `the scoop`. The science of setting up signals registered from electrodes in different locations, to functions; do not require any specific knowledge of anatomy and physiology then the basic placement of the bundle. The signal processing methods that they use come from a long history that followed their way towards the pont of doing something useful.
Although, researchers have to offer for these methods more accurate anatomical data about how to better allocate multiple arrays in different sections of the brain. The most important concern is how to make these arrays safe and legal. So, Blackrock Microsystems has established a location in Hanover, Germany because there some of the legislation on thought controlled prosthetics is more bearable. Blackrock constructs electrode arrays and almost all the peripheral equipment required like electrical feedthroughs, connectors, software and soon to be achieved wireless capability. Also, this company has offered the chance to join to Ming Yin because of his paper in the latest issue of Neuron. Yin combines a Blackrock electrode to a wireless link which has the capability of transmitting data.
Bottom line, with companies like Blackrock that offer this kind of solutions, and universities from all around the world that work in order to achieve a perfect signal processing software, we will soon have a new view of the approach to BCIs. So, for the future researchers hope will reach the point where there will be less guesswork and more accuracy in obtaining intent from the mind. The new brain implant tech from Blackrock is step further towards the innovative technology that we will have at hand in the nearby future.

Release Date:12/23/2016;Notes:Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Dude Ranch is the second studio album by American pop punk band blink-182. Recorded at Big Fish Studios in Encinitas, California with producer Mark Trombino, the album was released in the United States on June 17, 1997, jointly through independent label Cargo Music and major label MCA Records. MCA signed the band in 1996 following moderate sales of their debut Cheshire Cat (1995) and growing popularity of the trio in Australia. Dude Ranch was the band's final recording released on Cargo and their last with original drummer Scott Raynor before he was dismissed from the band in 1998. - The band recorded the album during the winter of 1996-1997. With lyrical material written on the band's nonstop tours over the previous years, as well as completed songs, the band recorded with Trombino in sessions that lasted for five weeks. During the production for Dude Ranch, the members of blink-182 were plagued with difficulties only made worse by the rushed schedule: bassist Mark Hoppus and guitarist Tom DeLonge, co-vocalists for the band, were having vocal problems and Raynor had to record his drum tracks with both heels broken, on crutches.;Track List:1.

Within a week of the Twin Towers falling I saw, at a sparsely attended cinema, the beautiful future-set AI: Artificial Intelligence. Late in the film, its frail robotic heroes approach a flooded and collapsed Manhattan. The image, rendered before the events of 9/11, would surely have stung its audience. Film scholar Stephen Prince's Firestorm explores the moving-image expression of that awful stinging feeling and the tangle of unease and complication prompted by the tragedy.
New York has often been the site of apocalyptic images. Think of King Kong atop the Empire State Building; of UFOs moving in above Manhattan and of Arctic storm fronts engulfing the grid of the city. If the mainstream American cinema of the 1970s had Vietnam to explore, in the first decade of the new millennium it has had 9/11. Firestorm embraces the interest and relevance ("intended" or otherwise) of many well-known titles and moves widely and confidently over less familiar ones. Prince makes the point that "mainstream commercial film (also) seized upon terrorism as a kind of godsend, as a trope capable of animating popular genres for the foreseeable future because the issues posed by terrorism presently show no end coming".
The book is structured around a number of themed chapters, the first of which provides a context for the films that have emerged more recently around terrorism and varied reactions to it. Prince then considers the mainstream dramatic film and subsequently the documentary, and responses to the campaign in Iraq and elsewhere. He reminds the reader that Hollywood has a long-running history of representing and re-imagining terrorism in films such as The Informer (1935) and Black Sunday (1977), for example.
Through his initial exploration of feature-film genres, and also the work of individual directors, Prince moves to investigations of the role that US TV drama and US documentary post 9/11 have had in navigating the event. He acknowledges the effort to understand how movies express trauma and cultural memory and the culture of anxiety, and a timeline appendix crystallises the relationship between events and cinema's representations of them.
Prince writes usefully of the complications around "terrorism as action adventure". He also offers insights into terrorism's appropriation by the world of cinema and explores how contemporary US TV dramas such as 24 "domesticate the anxiety". I was pleased, also, to see a case study of several Steven Spielberg films that explore, with varying degrees of subtlety, the post-9/11 Zeitgeist. The "controversial" thriller Munich (2005) receives due consideration. Prince also discusses lesser-known documentaries such as Occupation: Dreamland and Gunner Palace (both 2005), which explore the engagement in Iraq, post 9/11, and notes that "the proliferation of portable digital cameras revolutionised documentary coverage of the war".
My sense is that Firestorm, which covers both formal-aesthetic and socio-ideological bases with clarity, will be a popular resource for film students. Certainly, many of the films it cites could be investigated as titles in their own right, and the possibility of due care and attention being paid to them would be welcome.
Ultimately, Prince evidences ways that popular culture, and film especially, matters very much more than we expect it to - or perhaps even want it to.

From 2004 to 2014, TVI, as operator of the Canatuan gold-silver/copper-zinc mine, produced 105,200 ounces of gold, 1.8 million ounces of silver, 199,778 tonnes of copper concentrate and 30,558 tonnes of zinc concentrate and was recognized as one of the most responsible miners in the Philippines, committed to the highest levels of safety, environmental stewardship and sustainable development. Up until 2014, TVI carried out its work through its 100% owned Philippine operating subsidiary, TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. ("TVIRD"), of which it has divested control in December 2013 but maintains a 30.66% interest in this joint venture, where TVI has joint control.

As at June 30, 2020, Canatuan is in the process of completing its final rehabilitation activities under the supervision of the Multi-Partite Monitoring Team ("MMT") that includes members of the Local Government Units ("LGU"), representatives of the local community, the municipal and provincial government, and the DENR (as representatives of the national government).
TVI management's track record of success has continued with the Agata Nickel/Iron project, Agata Mining Ventures Inc. ("AMVI"), which commenced operations in October 2014 and has since completed a total project-to-date of 269 shipments of 14.62 million wet metric tonnes of nickel laterite through to May 31, 2020. AMVI is a joint venture company between TVIRD (60%), Mindoro Resources Ltd. ("Mindoro") (15%) and Minimax (25%), in which TVIRD is operator. The Agata Direct Shipping Ore ("DSO") Project site is strategically located within proximity to main markets in Asia and bears the opportunity for shipping all year round.
On November 22, 2019, TVI announced that TVIRD had determined to advance the Balabag gold/silver project towards commercial production and was progressing with various development works. The project is situated approximately 75 kilometers (47 miles) east-northeast of TVIRD's Canatuan mine.

In addition to supporting the ongoing activities of TVIRD at Agata and Balabag, the Company is now focused on repeating its direct success at Canatuan by searching for new resource opportunities in the Asia Pacific Region with the assistance of its Project Advisory Group. At June 30, 2020 also, TVI directly held a (i) a 2.97% equity interest in the shares of Integrated Green Energy Solutions Ltd ("IGES"); (ii) a 14.4% equity interest in the shares of Mindoro; and (iii) a 100% investment in shares of TG World Energy Corp. ("TG World").
Management's resource acquisition and development strategy is centered around the idea of Bootstrap Growth:

CHICAGO, IL – November 27, 2013 – Black Friday, the Friday after Thanksgiving, is the most popular shopping day of the year. If you plan on getting up early and joining millions of other shoppers at your local shopping center, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) urges you to beware of schemes and do careful research before shopping.
"Every year, people get caught up in the hectic pace of holiday shopping and special deals," said Steve J. Bernas, president & CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. "It is important for consumers to plan ahead by researching stores before shopping, paying with credit cards whenever possible, and keeping all receipts so that recipients won't be disappointed if they decide to return gifted items."
The BBB offers the following tips for Black Friday shoppers:
- Research before you shop. If you find a great coupon, be sure to print it and bring it to the store with you. Check out Business Reviews at www.bbb.org to make sure you are dealing with a reputable business that will guarantee the sale prices they claim to have.
- Be Aware of Return Policies. Knowing the store policies on returns can help you determine where to buy. Many retailers may include restocking fees and shorter return deadlines.
- Ask for Gift Receipts. Gift receipts generally include a description of the item purchased but do not disclose the price paid. Without proof-of-purchase, the recipient may be turned down for returning or exchanging the item, or risk receiving an exchange at a lower price.
- Beware of deals that sound too good to be true. Offers on websites and in unsolicited e-mails can often sound too good to be true, especially extreme low prices on hard-to-get items. Consumers should always go with their instincts and not be afraid to pass up a "deal" that might cost them dearly in the end. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
- Keep purses zipped and close to your body. Never leave a purse unattended in a shopping cart where it is more susceptible to theft.
- Remember there is increased safety in numbers. Avoid walking alone and leave malls and stores well before closing time to assure a more active parking lot. Ask mall security to walk you to your car if you feel you are not safe.
For more advice on safe shopping during this holiday season, visit www.bbb.org
As a private, non-profit organization, the purpose of the Better Business Bureau is to promote an ethical marketplace. BBBs help resolve buyer/seller complaints by means of conciliation, mediation and arbitration. BBBs also review advertising claims, online business practices and charitable organizations. BBBs develop and issue reviews on businesses and nonprofit organizations and encourage people to check out a company or charity before making a purchase or donation.

Aside from the obvious loss of a loved one, there is nothing that can get your heart racing faster than reaching for your wallet only to find it missing!
Yesterday afternoon, we went to visit a family member in the hospital. After our visit, James and I decided to have an early dinner. We went to one of those famous Florida buffets houses where I was quite pleased with my "healthy choices" (which will be discussed in tomorrow's Blog) when we had the great idea to purchase a to-go order to run it up to the hospital, where James' dad was quickly losing weight from the world's worst food. If you can believe it, even the roll that came with his lunch was uneatable.
James had been doing the driving but when we reach the hospital to drop off the food, we switched places. I sat behind the wheel while he quickly ran the food upstairs.
I was wearing a new pair of jeans from Rocawear and I had joked earlier in the day that someone should call Jay-Z and let him know that the lower back pockets may look cool, but makes it virtually impossible to sit when your wallet is in your back pocket. So I was reduced to holding my wallet all day.
Earlier today while I was out running errands, I received a frantic call from James. It seems that he could not find his wallet anywhere and he had turned the house upside-down looking.
I tried to calm him down while I looked in the car. James is infamous for leaving his wallet in the side pocket of the driver's door or in the bin between the seats. He swore that he had never put it there yesterday and my search yielded no result. Then it occurred to me that he had stored his wallet in the carrying case of his laptop. He had placed that bag in the trunk. Could it be that his wallet had fallen out of the case and into the trunk? It was certainly worth a look. Sure enough, his wallet was there. Even over the cell phone, I could hear him breathe a sigh of relief. I headed straight home to bring him his wallet.
Then quite suddenly, something told me to check my back pocket for my wallet. Much to my horror, it was also missing.
I tried not to panic and told myself that I must have left it on my desk. Well I guess it goes without saying that it was not there when I got home. Now here we were in panic mode number two!
Together we checked every nook and cranny in the house. I emptied the garbage can in both the kitchen and the big one in the garage. Finally I called the restaurant that we ate at yesterday, the last place that I had used my wallet. An angry foreign voice on the other end of the line simply yelled back "No!" and slammed the phone down.
After tracing all of the steps we took yesterday, James and I had to both agree that I must have dropped it when we switched places at the hospital yesterday,
I rang up the hospital and was connected with Lost & Found. They had not received a wallet. Then I was connected with security who also said that no wallet was turned in to them either. They were going to check all departments in the hospital and get back to me.
In the meantime, I went on-line to trace the use of all the cards I had in the missing wallet. So far so good, no charges were made. Could it be that it was turned in to someone at the hospital who didn't get to the lost and Found just yet? Maybe whoever found it was trying to locate me?
Finally the phone rang. Our search was now approaching three hours and I was anxious to know if it were found or if I had to do some fast banking management. It was the head of security for the hospital on the line. I was told that their search produced no wallet. They even checked trash cans in the event that whoever found it, might have taken the cash and junked the wallet and the cards. I was advised to call up my bank, the credit card companies, etc. and cancel all my cards. I could use my passport to get new ID.
Before I placed the call, James asked if I had checked every place that it could possibly be. I confirmed that I did and even checked places that I knew it couldn't truly be! I told him that I even checked all my shoes, just in case it had accidently fallen and landed in a shoe.
That's when a light bulb seemed to go on in James' head. "Shoes!" he shouted. "Wait a moment!"
A second later I heard him call out from the closet, "Here it is! I have it!"
It seems that last night after dropping off the food, when he stepped into the car, he took his shoes off. He noticed my wallet on the floor of the car and tucked it into his shoe for safe keeping so it would not get left in the car. However when we reached our house, he opted to stay barefoot and carried his shoes inside. Forgetting that the wallet was there, he simply put his shoes away. Due to the first missing wallet panic, the events of yesterday had understandably slipped his mind.
I couldn't have cared any less, how the wallet wound up in his shoe. The only thing that mattered was that it was not lost or stolen.
We had a good laugh over it (after my blood pressure returned to normal) and I am happy to say, that all is calm here in West Palm Beach once more.
Until next time,

The story was covered locally, but seeing as it happened just one day after the Sandyhook massacre in Connecticut, you would think it would have gotten more airplay in the MSM. Don't stories like this one play right into their anti-gun hands?
No – not this one.
After the suspect reached the theater, an off duty Bexar County Sheriff officer who was working at the theater shot at him and struck him, Antu said.
Officials said the officer, Sgt. Lisa Castellano, heard the gunfire inside the theater and ran towards the sound of the shooting to find out what was going on. Sgt. Castellano spotted Garcia coming out of a bathroom with his gun drawn and fired at him, shooting him four times.
So back to why the national media didn't find this story to be worth their time:
…. since this story makes the point that the best thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, the media is treating it like it never happened.

Ideally, OEMs should crave as much functionality as possible out of a chip or die. The chipmaker has done its job to produce ultra-functionality for a given chip generation via its design and manufacturing. But would you believe that there's still more functionality to glean out of that chip? That's where multi-tier wire-bonding steps into PCB microelectronics assembly to do exactly that—extract more functionality out of that already powerful chip.
But there's more. Multi-tier wire bonding also gives OEMs the opportunity to reduce the PCB's size, meaning less cost, yet more value. Instead of using multiple dies and single wire bonding, a single die can be combined with multi-tier bonding to capture that extra functionality; at the same time, this can reduce the number of dies required for a given application, thus decreasing the PCB's size.
