The rotating wafer support maintains flatness and position of 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", and 13.625" diameter wafers in order to achieve contamination-free contact angle readings while preserving flatness. Each wafer support is hand lapped to a high-tolerance. The support incorporates a rotating stage plate which is graduated in 1° increments with displacement holes for creating the appropriate suction. The wafer support mounts directly to the leveling stage of the Contact Angle Goniometer. Model 400 supports and includes an 8" wafer support (and other sizes can be added). Models 190, 200, 250, and 290 support the 4" wafer support only. Larger supports may require an upgrade kit which will extend the focal length of the camera and extend the microsyringe fixture. We offer kits which include all of the necessary parts.
In 2022, Bradford was named the UK City of Culture 2025, beating Southampton, Wrexham and Durham. The UK City of Culture bid, as of 2023, was expected to majorly stimulate the local economy and culture as well as attracting tourism to the city. By 2025, the UK City of Culture bid is expected to support potential economic growth of £389 million to the city of Bradford as well as to the surrounding local areas, creating over 7,000 jobs, attracting a significant amount of tourists to the city and providing thousands of performance opportunities for local artists.
The Alhambra Theatre is a theatre in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, named after the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain, which was the place of residence of the Emir of the Emirate of Granada. It was built in 1913 at a cost of £20,000 for theatre impresario Francis Laidler, and opened on Wednesday 18 March 1914. In 1964, Bradford City Council bought the Alhambra for £78,900 and in 1974, it was designated a Grade II listed building. It underwent extensive refurbishment in 1986. Today it is a receiving house for large-scale touring theatre of all types and the main house seats 1,456.
Francis Laidler, who already owned two music halls in Bradford, opened the new Alhambra Theatre in 1914. The architects were Chadwick and Watson, who described it as "English renaissance of the Georgian period".
The building is recognisable for its large domed turret with giant-paired Corinthian columns, an iconic landmark on the Bradford skyline together with the complementary domes on the adjacent, disused Bradford Odeon. Behind this, the building is stepped up, culminating in tall square towers with smaller domes.
It is situated on a sloping site amongst other Bradford landmarks – the National Media Museum, aforementioned Bradford Odeon, the former Windsor Baths building and Bradford City Park. The entrance to the building is on the corner on the other side of the building to the dome and has a distinctive iron and glass canopy.
Elsewhere, the exterior is faced in white faience, which has now been painted white and grey. The faience was produced by Gibbs and Canning of Tamworth.
Inside, the auditorium consists of two tiers, a balcony and an aisle. It is highly decorated with plasterwork. There is moulded plasterwork to the curved balcony fronts and elliptically bowed balconies to the boxes, which are situated in round arched openings with giant fluted Corinthian columns. The circular auditorium ceiling is decorated and has a small rectangular dome to centre. There is a rectangular proscenium arch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Bradford Odeon is the name applied to two different cinemas in central Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. One, in Godwin Street, was built in 1930 and survives; the other, in Manchester Road, was built in 1938 and demolished in 1969.
The cinema, originally built as a 3,318 seat cine-variety theatre, was the largest outside London, and the third largest in England. It was completed in 1930 as the New Victoria. It is on the site of William Whittaker's brewery and malting, which had closed in 1928. It is a Renaissance Revival building designed by the architect William Illingworth, with copper-covered cupolas on two corners complementing those on the neighbouring Bradford Alhambra theatre. The New Victoria combined a 3,318-seat auditorium, 450 square feet (42 m2) ballroom and 200-seat restaurant. The auditorium was primarily a cinema, but also a concert and ballet venue with a stage, orchestra pit, Wurlitzer organ and excellent acoustics.
As a cinema it was the third largest in Britain when it opened, with only the Trocadero at Elephant & Castle and Davis Theatre at Croydon being larger. By 1930 cinemas had converted to screen sound pictures, which had been introduced in 1927, but the New Victoria was the first cinema in Britain to be purpose-built for "talkies". It was built at a cost of £250,000 for Provincial Cinematograph Theatres, backed by the Gaumont British Picture Corporation. In 1950 the complex was renamed the Gaumont, by this time both the Odeon and Gaumont circuits were controlled by Circuits Management Association Ltd., a subsidiary of the Rank Organisation. With the city's Odeon scheduled for re-development by Bradford Corporation, Rank decided to redevelop the Gaumont as a twin cinema and bingo club and on 30 November 1968 it closed for nine months. By the time that the building was ready to re-open, the original Odeon had been closed for five months and the new complex opened on 21 August 1969 with the Odeon name.
The Rank Organisation converted the Gaumont into a complex with the former circle divided into two film auditoria, one of 1,200 and the other of 467 seats. The former stalls were converted into a 1,000 seat Top Rank bingo hall, replacing the company's bingo operation in the former Majestic cinema in Morley Street. The "Odeon" name was transferred to the new two-screen cinema, which opened in August 1969. The bingo hall opened later in the year.
National Guard Soldiers and Airmen from the D.C.-based 33rd Civil Support Team and the Fort Pickett-based 34th Civil Support Team trained together April 7, 2015, at the Fairfax County Urban Search and Rescue Training Site, Lorton, Va. The two-day exercise brought together the two teams as well as firefighters from Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department. Both units can identify chemical, biological, and radiological substances, assess current and projected consequences, advise an incident commander on response measures, and assist with requests for additional state support. The CSTs are federally resourced, trained and sustained and operates under the control of state leadership. The Adjutant General of each state or territory may employ the CST to support the state response under the direction of the governor or to support another state’s response under a supported governor.

Demonstration in support of Gaza in Toronto, march from Queens Park to the US consulate © Linda Dawn Hammond / IndyFoto.com July 26, 2014. Children wrote the names of every child in Gaza killed in this recent conflict by Israel on balloons, pink for girls and blue for boys, and then released them in honour and memory into the sky. Some kids were reluctant to let the balloons go, and men with scissors intervened to cut the strings! As of July 23, "2014 UNICEF’s communications chief in Jerusalem, Catherine Weibel, says that according to U.N.’s figures at least 121 Palestinian children under the age of 18 have been killed since the conflict started on July 8, making up a full one-third of Palestinian civilian casualties. Between July 20 to July 21 alone, she says, “there were at least 28 children killed in Gaza.” time.com/3012088/child-death-toll-gaza/
International Day of Al-Quds - Several thousand supporters of Palestinians (estimates range from 5,000- 10,000), with a small counter demonstration of a few hundred supporters of Zionist Israel.
From the Toronto Star:
The high proportion of young deaths is mirrored by the densely packed population of the 360-square-kilometre swath of land tucked into the southwestern Coast of Israel. More than 40 per cent of Gaza’s population is under 15 years old, and the median age of its 1.8 million inhabitants is just over 18 – compare that to Canada’s median age of just under 42.

Hong Kong Umbrella Revolution 香港雨傘革命
What we need is immediate withdrawal of the NPCSC's decision on the framework for Hong Kong's political reform
True Democracy and peace! Please support us!
Protests and mass civil disobedience began in Hong Kong soon after the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress announced its decision on proposed electoral reform for the upcoming 2017 Hong Kong Chief Executive election. The Standing Committee would require a nomination committee to pre-approve up to three electoral candidates before proceeding to a vote involving the general population. After this election, the Chief Executive-elect would then still need to be formally appointed by the central government before officially taking the post. The decision also stipulates that "the Chief Executive shall be a person who loves the country and loves Hong Kong."These requirements are regarded by pro-democracy activists as a potential breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, which states that the Chief Executive should eventually be chosen through elections, and the Hong Kong Basic Law, which further clarifies that universal suffrage should be implemented for this selection.
The Hong Kong Federation of Students and Scholarism began protesting outside the government headquarters on 22 September 2014. In the evening of September 26, several hundred demonstrators breached a security barrier and entered the front plaza of the Central Government Complex, which has been barred from public entry since July 2014. Officers cordoned off protesters within the courtyard and restricted their movement overnight, eventually forcibly removing them the next day. Protesters were dragged away by police and some, including student leader Joshua Wong, were temporarily detained. Occupy Central announced that they would begin their civil disobedience campaign immediately.
Around noon on September 28, protesters marched onto Harcourt Road and proceeded to occupy Queensway as well, blocking both east-west arterial routes in northern Hong Kong Island. After a several hour standoff, police attempted to disperse crowds with pepper spray, tear gas, and water cannons, and warned that they would open fire with rubber bullets if protesters did not leave. Even more supporters joined the protest after this use of force, causing riot police to withdraw. It is the start of Umbrella Revolution.

The Head of the United Nations and the Special Representative of the Secretary General (SRSG) to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, Ellen Margrethe Løj, has reiterated the organisationâs commitment to support South Sudan through challenging times ahead. Presiding over events to mark the United Nations Day in Juba, the SRSG reminded the government and the citizens that the peace agreement, which was signed in August 2015, remains the most credible vehicle to revive the peace process.
Marking the 71st Anniversary of the achievements of the UN family in South Sudan, different UN agencies showcased some of their works. Through exhibitions, posters and some also distributed information packs while other conducted immunization and diagnostic malaria tests.
The minister of Federal Affairs, Richard Mulla who attended the event, asked the United Nations to continue helping the government in the implementation of the peace agreement, despite challenges being faced by the government in the peace process.
Mullah applauded the UN family for its contributions towards humanitarian assistance, food security, capacity building and gender empowerment.

Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Area Support Group Afghanistan (ASG-A) personnel were among more than 500 participants in the annual Army Ten-Miler shadow run at Bagram Airfield Oct. 4. Shadow runs are held at various locations throughout the Combined Joint Operations Area Afghanistan and in locations throughout the globe. The race is held annually in Washington, D.C., in October. Beginning as a way to promote the Army, build esprit de corps, support physical fitness, the Army Ten-Miler began with nearly 14,000 participants in 1985 and has capped at 35,000 in recent years. It is the second largest ten-mile race in the United States and the third largest ten-mile race in the world. The race generally sells out in less than 12 hours. More than a quarter million people have participated since its inception.
There were quite a few of these around the temple. Rather than hinder the tree's direction, the growth is actively supported.
The marble sculpture usually given the rather arbitrary title Menelaus supporting the body of Patroclus due to its apparent representation of an episode in the Iliad, has had a complicated artistic and social history that illustrates the degree to which free improvisatory restorations were made to fragments of ancient Roman sculpture during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

If you've ever used a backdrop before, whether it's for Solid Color or Decorative pattern, paper or cloth background materials, you know that the versatility, adjustability, and strength of the support system hardware makes all the difference in setting up your studio to get the shot just right.
The background support system used in the photo above will allow you to precisely adjust the width of the Crossbar between the Stands so that you can attach clamps from the Stand to the Background Material. This minimizes floor space and is especially critical when using cloth backgrounds that require stretching to create a smooth surface. Having the ability to adjust the height of the support is also essential. Another handy feature of a background support system is the ability to mount more that one backdrop.
A background support system that has these kind of features can be purchased from Eos Lighting LLC

Da gennaio 2014 è disponibile in libreria il volume "La psicologia clinica in ospedale. Consulenza e modelli d'intervento" di cui Carlo Alfredo Clerici è autore con Laura Veneroni.
Il volume, frutto di un lungo lavoro clinico e di studio, è dedicato agli aspetti storici, clinici e organizzativi del lavoro di psicologia clinica con pazienti affetti da patologie gravi durante le cure ospedaliere.
I proventi saranno devoluti all'Associazione Bianca Garavaglia per l'aiuto e il sostegno di iniziative operanti nel campo dei tumori infantili.
Punto d’incrocio fra la soggettività del paziente e quella dell’equipe, fra l’oggettività della malattia e gli aspetti istituzionali, l’attività di psicologia clinica in ospedale è oggi un ambito di intervento di crescente rilevanza. Il professionista che in tale contesto fornisce la propria opera di consulenza è chiamato ad affrontare la complessità dei fenomeni che agiscono sul paziente nel corso delle cure mediche. Questo volume offre gli strumenti utili per conoscere e comprendere i vissuti che si accompagnano alla malattia in ottica fisiopatologica, psicopatologica, psicologica e relazionale.
