A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) that is readable by dedicated QR barcode readers, telephone cameras, and to a less common extent, computers with webcams. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, URL, or other data.
Vodafone has announced plans to provide coding training to 1,000 teenage girls across 26 countries in what is the world’s furthest-reaching in-person global coding programme of its kind. The commitment was announced in advance of @WomenScienceDay. Vodafone is partnering with @CodeFirstGirls to address widening gender gap in STEM.
For many years, women and girls have played an important role in science and technology. Without the work of technology pioneers like Hedy Lamarr and Barbara Liskov, we would not have Wi-Fi and email as we know it. But despite this, women and girls are still grossly under-represented in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) education and careers. Only 35% of girls enter further education in STEM subjects, and many have little encouragement to equip themselves with the skills to thrive in these industries.
Vodafone wants to help change this. In a partnership with social enterprise Code First: Girls, Vodafone’s #CodeLikeAGirl programme will provide five-day, coding workshops for girls, ages 14-18, across its geographical footprint in Europe, India, the Middle East, South Africa and Australasia. In 2017, 500 girls across Vodafone’s 26 markets were taught to code as part of the Vodafone and Code First: Girls partnership. This year, 1,000 teenage girls will benefit from the programme.
Charles II (29 May 1630 OS – 6 February 1685) was the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
Charles II's father King Charles I was executed at Whitehall on 30 January 1649, at the climax of the English Civil War. The English Parliament did not proclaim Charles II king at this time. Instead they passed a statute making such a proclamation unlawful. England entered the period known to history as the English Interregnum or the English Commonwealth and the country was a de facto republic, led by Oliver Cromwell. The Parliament of Scotland, however, proclaimed Charles II King of Scots on 5 February 1649 in Edinburgh. He was crowned King of Scots at Scone on 1 January 1651. Following his defeat by Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651, Charles fled to mainland Europe and spent the next nine years in exile in France, the United Provinces and the Spanish Netherlands.
A political crisis following the death of Cromwell in 1658 resulted in Charles being invited to return and assume the throne in what became known as the Restoration. Charles II arrived on English soil on 27 May 1660 and entered London on his 30th birthday, 29 May 1660. After 1660, all legal documents were dated as if Charles had succeeded his father in 1649. Charles was crowned King of England and Ireland at Westminster Abbey on 23 April 1661.
Charles's English parliament enacted anti-Puritan laws known as the Clarendon Code, designed to shore up the position of the re-established Church of England. Charles acquiesced to the Clarendon Code even though he himself favoured a policy of religious tolerance. The major foreign policy issue of Charles's early reign was the Second Anglo-Dutch War. In 1670, Charles entered into the secret treaty of Dover, an alliance with his first cousin King Louis XIV of France under the terms of which Louis agreed to aid Charles in the Third Anglo-Dutch War and pay Charles a pension, and Charles promised to convert to Roman Catholicism at an unspecified future date. Charles attempted to introduce religious freedom for Catholics and Protestant dissenters with his 1672 Royal Declaration of Indulgence, but the English Parliament forced him to withdraw it. In 1679, Titus Oates's revelations of a supposed "Popish Plot" sparked the Exclusion Crisis when it was revealed that Charles's brother and heir (James, Duke of York) was a Roman Catholic. This crisis saw the birth of the pro-exclusion Whig and anti-exclusion Tory parties. Charles sided with the Tories, and, following the discovery of the Rye House Plot to murder Charles and James in 1683, some Whig leaders were killed or forced into exile. Charles dissolved the English Parliament in 1679, and ruled alone until his death on 6 February 1685. He converted to Roman Catholicism on his deathbed.
Charles was popularly known as the Merrie Monarch, in reference to both the liveliness and hedonism of his court and the general relief at the return to normality after over a decade of rule by Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans. Charles's wife, Catherine of Braganza, bore no children, but Charles acknowledged at least 12 illegitimate children by various mistresses.
for 7DoS: the barcodes in supermarkets aren't just used to keep control of stock and prices anymore, I use them to buy my shopping ... so sneaking a photo is pretty easy, as I have it in my hand zapping barcodes along the way.
It's a shame my supermarket hasn't quite mastered the technology regarding stock control, as the empty shelf was were the eggs I wanted, should have been :(

Meet Johno, not the sort of guy you introduce to your daughter or to your wife for that matter.
The 'Bloke Code' focuses on a group of friends, 5 guys aged 29 to 34, all with varying lives, some married or settled, and some not so settled. We meet the guys in a bar, Johno is recanting another of his escapades, the one where her husband comes home early.#theblokecode

Bletchley Park
The nineteenth-century mansion and estate near Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire,
has received latter-day fame as the central site for British codebreakers during World War II, although at the time personnel and location of the facility was a closely guarded secret, the estate housed the worlds first code breaking computer. Early personnel on the GC&CS team included Alan Turing, Gordon Welchman, Hugh Alexander and Stuart Milner-Barry.

I thought Source Code was a pretty slick thriller and decided to attempt a version of the poster.
I went with more of a minimalistic teaser version of the poster so as to try and draw the viewer in.

The scientific name for the animal on the right, the common eland, is tragelaphus oryx. The smaller animal, on the left, is commonly known as a scimitar-horned oryx. The two species are related!
Code, the common eland, is a gentle giant who loves to entertain human guests. He'll tolerate much taunting from his distant cousins before making a head gesture that'll scare them away.
P.S. Flickr has been up and down this morning. It's back up at the moment, but I need to leave for work. Will catch up soon!

This particular model is an army version (3 rotors as opposed to the 4-rotor-submarine type) that usually is on display in the TMW (science museum vienna).
Code was a little jeux d'esprit I concocted in 2001--a magazine consisting of a single 11 x 17-inch sheet printed on both sides and folded down to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches. To read it, you had to unfold it completely. I printed up perhaps twenty copies of the first two issues. I got as far as writing and designing the third issue, but never published it.

Today I finished the first phase of the PHP code I have been writing for the past week or so, to integrate with MS SQL on our server at work. It integrates with a well known rental management software package which we'll be using at Chequer Mead as an inventory manager. The script I've written allows us to add items and record PAT tests much quicker and will little fuss, compared to the integrated software technique. Let's hope there aren’t too many bugs! :-/
QR codes are a great way to put information right into the hands of the consumer. There are many great uses for QR codes. Ask a C2 rep how to integrate them into your campaign.
