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.

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
Coming soon to a festival near you.

A combination of very sore feet (ow, blisters) and low creativity means I'm not going to complete this year's Cardiff Photomarathon. This makes me very sad. I wish I could recapture the enthusiasm I had in the previous Photomarathons — the enthusiasm that inspired me to create Thing a Week. Maybe one day I'll get my groove back. Fingers crossed.
This picture was the second topic — 'Poetry' — and the only picture I took that I was happy with. I'm uploading it here because it seems like the kind of picture that people might like to use to illustrate a blog post. Sometimes these bloggers give me credit too, which is very kind. But that's another story.
(P.S. I really don't like the new Flickr!)

GDS colleagues participated in 3 introductory sessions to coding at GDS. Students were from the Women's and BAME network. Volunteer coaches were from across the organisation, and included frontend developers, backend developers, and site reliability engineers.
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.

Men’s best defense against the monthly Her-ricane.
Men no longer need to fear the wrath of menstrual madness. MEDL Mobile is pleased—and very relieved—to introduce Code Red: a simple but powerful menstrual calendar for men to keep track of—and survive—their girlfriend’s/fiancé’s/wife’s monthly cycle.
SIMPLER IS SAFER
What makes Code Red so much more valuable than other period tracking apps is the profound simplicity and ease of use.
All you have to do is set the start day of her most recent cycle, and the app takes care of the rest!
When the tracking starts, Code Red will provide special alert messages for every phase in her cycle. There are five different alerts, and each calendar day comes equipped with a wealth of tips and advice to brave even the most violent of storms.
“Every month, women go through the same ups and downs, but the men in our lives never seem to catch on,” said Lisi Harrison, Co-Creator and Author of New York Times #1 Bestselling series’ The Clique and Alphas.
“Code Red will be a life saver for thousands of guys out there,” said Kevin Harrison, Co-Creator, “Its each guys personal color coded Terror Alert System…”
ALERTS
Smooth Sailing Alert --- Let’s you know when she’s feeling like a team player.
Horny Alert --- Let’s you know when you’re able to score.
PMS Alert --- Let’s you know when to hit the (cold) showers.
Ovulation Alert --- Let’s you know when to sit on the sidelines (unless you’re ready to start a junior league).
Code Red Alert --- Let’s you know that it’s game time and you’re way out of bounds.
FEATURES
Fully automated menstrual calendar
5 special alerts for each phase of her cycle
Dynamic animations for each alert
Helpful suggestions to survive each phase

Code Red is the brainchild of Pro Surfer and Humanitarian Jon Rose, and was facilitated through development by husband & wife team Kevin and Lisi Harrison.
Kevin & Lisi have been together for 180 menstrual cycles. The recurring stress that always followed inspired them to find a way to help alleviate their shared aggravation over the monthly houseguest.
Developed by men and women for the benefit of each other, MEDL Mobile, and it’s partners are excited to present this great app and share the many benefits it will bring.

"The Hardest Hit" March & Parliamentary Lobby - 11.05.2011
Part (1) The Prelude to the March
Between 8,000 and 10,000 disabled people with long-term conditions, their families, carers and many trade union supporters assembled on London's Victoria Embankment to protest against the punitive cuts to welfare spending implimented by David Cameron's "Caring Conservatives", which are specifically aimed at the sick and the disabled. Using French IT company ATOS Origin to do the government's dirtiest work, the disabled are being summoned to "Work Capability Assessments" at ATOS Regional offices up and down the country, and are then subjected to a twenty minute examination by often medically unqualified staff who ask a series of questions and then try fill in tick boxes on their completely inflexible computerised forms, which are inadequate for coping with the very serious complexities which go with long-term disabilities. These accumulated scores then form that disabled person's Work Capability score. Input from Doctors, Carers and Senior Consultants is not allowed to be considered when going through this sham exercise designed to force people off Disablity benefits and mobility allowances - crucial to many working disabled people, many of whom have had to stop work because they cannot get there any more thanks to this incompetent process. Instead they become trapped in their homes, unable to shop for themselves or socialise.
The ATOS assessors are paid a bounty of around £70 for every person they instruct the Department of Work and Pensions to be thrown off their benefits, and those assessors with medical qualifications are instructed by the government when they sign contracts to do assessment work with ATOS that the normal medical code of conduct regarding their innate responsibility for the well-being of the patient is waived!
Since the introduction of this punitive and intensely cruel process several disabled people have committed suicide, having had their support ripped away from them, with many disabled people becoming homeless. There are also many instances where people with terminal illnesses have been told they are fit for work, their benefits stopped, and have died within weeks in absolute abject misery because the State has treated them monstrously.
Many previously independent disabled people in their own homes have had to be institutionalised in homes run by private comanies who are egging the government forward because they make a huge profit from running these homes. The sickest irony is that it costs around £10,000 per year to keep a disabled person living in their own home, independent and contributing to society, yet it costs the taxpayer between £30/40,000 to put them in a care home where they may be neglected or even worse abused.
Assaults and threats against the disabled has increased sharply over the last year as a direct result of the government's insulting press campaigns which have painted the sick and disabled as workshy scroungers. Nothing could be further from the truth, but as long as those in power have the ability to behave so appallingly towards the very weakest and most vulnerable members of our society just to score cheap political points, then that is what an increasing number of people in this country want to believe.
In December of last year Iain Duncan Smith, the minister for Work and Pensions, said of the disabled in Rupert Murcoch's Sun Newspaper interview:
"It embarrasses me. I think this is the greatest country on earth.
“What I cannot bear is the idea that this country was the workshop of the world. It gave everybody the free market, the industrial revolution. You think what we did to change the world. This was the place that everyone looked to.
“Yet we have managed to create a block of people in Britain who do not add anything to the greatness of this country.
“They have become conditioned to be users of services, not providers of money. This is a huge part of the reason we have this massive deficit. We have had to borrow vast sums of money. We went on this inflated spending spree."
Ever since that statement by Iain Duncan Smith the Sun, the Daily Express and the Telegraph have run continual lie-filled campaigns in their pages stating that around 75% of the disabled are fully able to work but because they are little more than complaining parasites who just want to sit at home enjoying themselves at "Our" expense. The rapid consequence of this disgusting, immoral slur which could be easily mistaken for the propaganda campaigns of the National Socialist Party in pre-war Germany.
Because the government has picked on the Disabled first, they are getting away with it. Most people in this country are unable to even begin to understand what it is like living with a severe disability. Most people in this country are too stupid and dull to have the intelligence to question what they are being told to think by the right-wing press who serve the Global Capitalists hiding 'round the curtain waiting to get the nod to start taking over huge parts of our National Health Service using the appalling American model which is all about profit and not about the patient's actual needs.
This is what David Cameron has planned for Great Britain, and he's starting with the disabled because disability makes most people uncomfortable because they're so self-obsessed and shallow that human empathy is too rich an emotion for them to grasp. Instead they are turning against the disabled, and talking to many disabled people it is very clear that a lot of them are now living in a climate of fear, hounded by bullies in their local communities, taunted in the streets, often physically abused or spat at, their homes broken into, their meagre possessions stolen.
And all this human misery because David Cameron's Conservatives will not punish the banks and hedge funds which caused the recession which has wrecked our economy, and he will not close down the corporate tax loopholes, shut down the tax havens and start throwing corrupt, greedy financiers in prison where they belong. All this human pain because Conservatives think that the State should stop providing services cheaply and reasonably efficiently, and instead services should be run by completely unaccountable private comanies whose only masters are the shareholders. This is all about profit, nothing else. profit at the expense of human pain and fear.
On appeal following an ATOS assessment around 70% of people win their cases, proving how incompetent ATOS' system is, but the cruellest part is that an appeal can take a year, during which that disabled person's mental and physical health has deteriorated. Many are driven to desperation and suicidal thinking. The government is just about to make it much, much harder to appeal against an ATOS decision by making it impossible to get any form of Legal Aid which would pay for a solicitor armed with the Law to represent you. It seems unbelievably wicked and cruel to me.

More than 60 teachers from the Lower Mainland gathered today at the Microsoft Centre of Excellence in downtown Vancouver to learn basic coding techniques from some of the best instructors in the industry – all to make sure BC students have the skills they need to succeed in today’s changing world.
Education Minister Mike Bernier joined teachers in an interactive ping pong ice breaker game. Teams had to create a simple algorithm to guide a blindfolded teammate to retrieve a ping pong ball. The game helps develop communication and critical thinking – vital skills needed for future success.

At Coding for Kids Camp, young coders used sequences, loops, and conditionals to navigate mazes, solve puzzles and create stories.
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.

Look who I got from stupid EMS today? It's my new guy from April Story, he is so cool! He hasn't got his own name and look, but we will work on it ^^ Now I call him JoJo, because I am huge fan of JoJo's Bizzarre Adventures
In England, our local area of Bournemouth & Poole has run out of phone numbers, to save the earth collapsing, we now have to dial our area code if we have to dial a local number.
If we don't, we get a reminder if we fail to dial 01202 before the local number we want, this might change after a month to a not so polite message, after six months your phone will explode, or for those on the Virgin Network, Richard will pop round to tell you off.
