Catholic Relief Services has committed more than $1.5 million in private funds to continue its emergency response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The number of deaths and people infected with the virus continues to increase rapidly. CRS and its Caritas partner have been working to train more than 400 volunteers on key messages about Ebola as well as psychosocial counseling for those who’ve lost loved ones to the disease. Education is the only way to stop the spread of the disease, so CRS has been working on public awareness campaigns aimed at teaching the population about Ebola, including its spread and prevention.

Having committed to an advance ticket, I found myself in the throes of Storm Dennis during a visit to Didcot MPD for it's Delivering The Goods weekend. So a shot from the relative dryness of the shed building (the roof leaked) is appropriate. 6023 King Edward II is not in steam but visiting Hudswell Clarke 31 Sir Robert McAlpine (HC 1026/13) happily shunted a few wagons up and down all day in the rain. The crew are recreating the golden age of steam by taking a deserved lunch break and nowhere to be seen. This loco is normally at Fawley Hill and not so accessible to the public. .

Hundreds of protesters rallied near Brayton Point Power Plant and called upon Governor Deval Patrick to close the electricity-generating power plant in Somerset. 44 of the participants committed non-violent civil disobedience and were arrested for trespassing on the plant’s grounds. The plant is one of the largest electricity generating plants in New England, using a combination of low-sulfur coal, natural gas, or oil and diesel fuel to generate 1,528 megawatts of electricity. Demonstrators asserted that in 2010, the plant emitted 6 million of tons of carbon dioxide, making it one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases in all of New England and that annually the plant emits 15,000 pounds of mercury, arsenic, lead, and other hazardous air pollutants into the air. Participants called on Governor Patrick to shut down the plant as soon as possible, while guaranteeing the plant workers and community a just transition.

The U-505 has an dramatic history... The Captain committed suicide during a patrol, and at a later patrol the ship was captured by US, the first enemy ship captured by US navy since the War of 1812. Today the U-505 becomes an exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, IL
More photos of U-505 in the US:
www.uboatarchive.net/U-505.htm
These are some of the contents I copied straight from Wikipedia:
For details please refer to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-505
Any one interested should read this.
Tenth patrol – Zschech's (Captain) suicide
After ten months in Lorient, U-505 departed for her tenth Atlantic patrol, seeking to break her run of bad luck and bad morale. On 24 October 1943, not long after transiting the Bay of Biscay, U-505 was spotted by British destroyers east of the Azores and was forced to submerge and endure a severe and lengthy depth charge attack.
In a testament to both the intensity of the attack and his own instability, Zschech snapped under the strain and committed suicide in the submarine's control room, shooting himself in the head in front of his crew. The first watch officer, Paul Meyer, quickly took command, rode out the rest of the attack and returned the boat to port with minimal damage. Despite his quick thinking, Meyer was not rewarded, merely "absolved from all blame" by the Kriegsmarine for the embarrassing incident. Zschech is recorded as the first submariner in history to commit suicide underwater in response to the stress of a prolonged depth charging, and the first (and thus far only) officer to commit suicide while commanding a warship in battle.a Experts[who?] have speculated bad morale and poor command influence demonstrated (and encouraged) by this series of humiliating failures might help explain the crew's later failure to scuttle U-505 properly before abandoning her, although this is disputed by some crew members.
Museum ship
U-505 had been sitting neglected at the Portsmouth Navy Yard for nearly ten years; just about every removable part had been stripped from her interior. She was in no condition to serve as an exhibit.
Admiral Gallery proposed a possible solution. At his suggestion, Lohr contacted the German manufacturers who had supplied U-505's original components and parts, asking for replacements. As the Admiral reported in his autobiography, Eight Bells and All's Well, to his and the museum's surprise, every company supplied the requested parts without charge. Most included letters that said in effect, "We are sorry that you have our U-boat, but since she's going to be there for many years, we want her to be a credit to German technology.
Thunder On the Ohio. I saw a big lens and went to meet it after the show was over. I had seen some of "StentDocs" photos online. I'd remembered the unusual handle. Great to meet a fellow FlickR photographer who is so skilled and see them in action. He was joined by his significant other whose name I didn't catch. I see another enthusiast in the background of this photo. If you know you, you can tag him!
A mobile court supported by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan has been opened in Bentiu on December 11, 2018 to try cases of crimes committed inside and outside the Mission’s Protection of Civilians site (POC).
The opening of the mobile court – with two judges, two court officials, two prosecutors, two defense counsels, and one investigator from the South Sudan National Police Service – is in response to a directive by the Chief Justice of South Sudan.
UNMISS Senior Rule of Law Officer, Anees Ahmed said, “The officials will prosecute 27 cases coming out of Bentiu POC [Protection of Civilians site],” adding, “if time allows, this court will also prosecute other cases investigated by Bentiu police.”
There has been no active court in Bentiu since war broke out in South Sudan, and the start of a mobile court is seen as an important development that will reestablish justice and rule of law in Bentiu.

Fauquier Community Theatre was organized in 1978 by a group of committed volunteers who wanted to provide theatre productions for the local community. It has been performing ever since!
Each year FCT mounts an ambitious schedule of plays and musicals, always striving for material that appeals to the broad tastes of the community, including children. At least one show each year is specifically chosen to give youngsters the chance to become active in theatre. Often a summer show is produced completely by high school and college students in the community.
FCT's first home was a tiny stage in the attic of an historic building in Old Town Warrenton. The Loft, as it was called, was the theatre’s home for many years. Today FCT stages its productions in the Vint Hill Theatre, on the grounds of the old Vint Hill Army Base near Warrenton. When the Army vacated the base many years ago, FCT took over its old movie theatre. Seats were removed to make room for a custom built stage, and the technical facilities were upgraded for use as a theatre for the performing arts. The Vint Hill Theatre seats approximately 200 people, has an orchestra pit, and adequate backstage facilities for small plays or large musicals.

The EBRD is committed to supporting the Green Energy Transition in its countries of operations. As more variable renewable energy sources are incorporated into the generation mix, new solutions are needed to ensure the stability of the electricity grid and the provision of reliable, high quality electricity supply. Additionally, the rise of distributed, consumer-led energy generation models may increase demand for solutions that decrease end users’ reliance on a centralized grid. Energy storage is likely to play a key role in providing such solutions to grid operators, generators and consumers alike.
This event brought together stakeholders from the private, public and financial sector to discuss the future of energy storage and its role in creating resilient, green economies. The panel explored the potential disruptive effect of storage on the energy industry, and how businesses and governments can contribute to and benefit from investment in energy storage solutions.

As a journalist I have been covering how Norway responded to the horrible acts of terror committed by Anders Behring Breivik on July 22nd 2011. He killed 77 people - mostly children and young people. The pictures are meant to show the shock and sorrow his terror created, but also how the Norwegians responded to his terror by coming together and by insisting that his terror should not jeopardize their democracy, openness, and beautiful (and very rainful) country. Normally I like to get comments about my pictures, but with this seria of pictures I find it inapproriate to comment on the technical and aestetic side of the pictures. So look at them and remember the 77 people whose lives Breivik took away. His terror showed how fragile life is and that it is still necessary not to take democracy for granted.

Chris Kelly (Dudley South) (Con):
Jihadi crimes committed in the name of the Islamic State are completely incompatible with the British way of life, so I welcome the plans announced by my right hon. Friend to seize British passports from dual nationals, and to remove rights of residency in the UK from foreign nationals known to have been fighting with ISIL in Iraq and Syria, in order to keep such people from committing terrorist atrocities in the UK. What progress have the Government made concerning jihadis with only British citizenship, whom my constituents believe have forfeited their right to return to the UK, even though they may be rendered stateless if deprived of citizenship?
The Prime Minister:
First, I pay tribute to my hon. Friend for his great work representing the people of Dudley South for the past four years and all the work he has done. He is absolutely right that people in Dudley South—indeed, people across our country—take the basic view that if someone leaves this country, travels to the heart of Iraq, declares they are in favour of some so-called Islamic state, and that is the country they want to be part of, they should effectively forfeit their right to come back and live in Britain. That is what people feel, and they feel it deeply, which is why it is right to consider how we can have legal powers not just to strip dual nationals of their British citizenship or to exclude foreign nationals, but to prevent British citizens who make those statements from coming back to our country.

I committed most of them in some way as I lolled around one Sunday afternoon, pouring over old design mags and lusting after all the beautiful things.
School history
Mary Ward (1585-1645), the founder of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary, her time was far ahead. She was especially committed to allow girls, too, an education. Therefore, it was her goal to build as many schools as possible.
1724 acquired the Order a building on the High market in Krems. After some renovation work the teaching on 27th August 1725 with 2 classes could be started.
Origin and religious affiliation played no role in the admission. The number of students increased steadily, so that from the institute in Sankt Pölten female teachers had got to come to Krems, in 1870 already teaching 5 classes in reading, writing, arithmetic, religion, singing and handicrafts.
The establishment of the private teachers (female ones) training college in 1892, in which six years later the first graduation (Matura - Austrian school-leaving certificate guaranteeing access to higher education) at Hoher Markt took place, the influx of educational willing girls let grow enormously. Thus, in 1898 the neighboring house was purchased and a gym and 3 new classes could be added.
In addition to the opening of the kindergarten in 1920, the emergence of the establishment of the Institute of Economics (school for domestic science) shows the importance of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary as an important educational institution for the city of Krems.
During Second World War the English Ladies school and educational activity was prohibited and the buildings were expropriated. After the return of the institute building at the Hoher Markt the school operation immediately could be started again.
From 1953 boys also attended the elementary school. At the secondary school only with the school year 2013/14 boys are admitted.
After the establishment of the Pedagogical Academy in Krems, the teacher education institution was converted into the Musical Pedagocial Grammar School (since 1976 ORG - Oberrealgymnasium).
Over the years, taught more and more secular teachers (male and female ones). The building today houses on the High Market 1 the private primary school with 8 classes, the private junior high school with nine classes and the private secondary school with 8 classes. In 2000, the Schulträgerschaft (means the establishment of a school, maintenance of the building, responsibility for operating costs, the acquisition) the association of religious schools in Austria was handed over and in September 2011 the school center on the high market after its founder in "Mary Ward Schools" renamed.
This tradition-steeped Kremser Institution enjoys since generations until today great popularity.
Mary Ward with her saying sets the motto for the daily work in our house:
"This corresponds to the truth that to perform well what we have got to do".

Constantly committed to transforming the lives of patients with severe genetic disorders, bluebird bio is proud to be a part of Rare Disease Day 2012!
Zofiówka Sanatorium is a defunct mental health facility in the town of Otwock in Poland, built at the beginning of the 20th century. In the Second Polish Republic, the sanatorium complex was expanded with more buildings and staff. Zofiówka initially had 95 beds, but this number had increased to 275 by 1935. The Jewish history of Zofiówka has come to its tragic end in the course of the Holocaust following the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany.
Construction
The history of the old Jewish sanatorium starts at the beginning of the 20th century. Back then, the institutionalized treatment of mental disorders was in its infancy. In 1906, Polish-Jewish neurologists Adam Wizel, Samuel Goldflam, Ludwik Bregman and Adolf Weisblat formed the "Society for Poor Jews with Nervous and Mental Illnesses" (Polish: Towarzystwo Opieki nad Ubogimi, Nerwowo i Umysłowo Chorymi Żydami). The sanatorium's director was Dr. Stefan Miller.A year later, a donation by the philanthropist Sophia Endelman enabled the purchase of 17 hectares of land and in 1908 the first building of a new sanatorium was built by the association there. An important part of the treatment was restoring patients to society by enabling them to practice employment. In its isolation ward (part of the hospital reserved for the most difficult patients), the mother of famous Polish poet, Julian Tuwim, Adela Tuwim was placed before World War II.
Holocaust history
In late 1940, the asylum fell within the so-called ‘medical zone’ formed by the Germans in the newly established Jewish ghetto of Otwock. The institution was still working during the early stages of the occupation of Poland, but the conditions dramatically worsened. Almost 400 patients were sentenced to a slow and torturous death by starvation as part of the Nazi extermination Aktionen. Zofiówka ended its existence at the same time as ghetto in Otwock.
On the morning of 19 August 1942, the Ukrainian Trawnikis supervised by the Germans, gathered the patients and the hospital crew in the first pavilion. Some 100-140 victims were shot on the spot, the rest were put on the Holocaust train to Treblinka along with Otwock’s Jewish population of 7,000.[2] Only a few doctors, who managed to escape to Warsaw by ambulance, survived. Some of the staff people committed suicide. In 1943 Zofiówka served Germans as Lebensborn, the institution of charity care. The facility also dealt with the Germanization of Polish children, and bringing them up for adoption to families in Germany.
After World War II
Zofiówka returned to its original medical purposes after the Soviet takeover, but patients were mainly children and young people. Between 1985 and mid 90’s, the facility was used in treating neuropsychiatric disorders associated with drug addiction. This continued on until the decision was made to finally close it.
In 2015, the Internet viral video called 11B-X-1371 was found to have been filmed at the abandoned facility, though by whom and when, exactly, are not known.
Ardmac committed to improving environmental performance
Ardmac recently added a number of new Ford vans to their fleet. The vehicles were selected for their EcoBoost technology, which greater fuel efficiency, providing lower carbon emissions than previous models. The new vehicles will support site activities across the business as Ardmac continue to serve their clients from the pharmaceutical, micro-electronics, commercial and retail sectors whilst reducing their environmental impact.
Roy Millar, Group Business Director said “As our vans had aged, we explored options for new vehicles. We have purchased these Ford Transit and Ford Connect vans in an effort to reduce costs and our environmental impact. A commitment to improving environmental performance is at the forefront of Ardmac’s corporate responsibility policy, thus the purchase of more energy efficient vans was an easy decision for us.”
