"Some are relatively simple but represent that person's first foray into digital making, whilst others are just immense and brilliant constructions."
As for the wider significance and impact of the Raspberry Pi, Lomas believes it has been hugely important in "reigniting interest in digital making", while also citing Coder-Dojo and Code Club, along with the maker spaces MadLab and FabLab, as important drivers of Manchester's digital making scene.
"There are hundreds of events held in Manchester every year that are now thriving as a result of this resurgence in making and coding," he says.
As well as showcasing the many and varied creations the Raspberry Jammers have produced, the 11 June event will also include a demonstration of AstroPi – currently being used by Tim Peake on the International Space Station – and the Naturebytes camera system for monitoring wildlife in your garden.
"The Jam thrives on the fact that many of the Jammers work in the city's technology industries or academic institutions and there is a wealth of accumulated knowledge," adds Lomas.
"Students planning a career in science and technology help to form the core of our activities. Other Jammers who work in various roles across Manchester come along simply to share their joy of making."

I just purchased this and could not figure out how to remove the battery plate to interchange it with another plate to charge my Panasonic battery. I could not find instructions on the web or manufacturer's website. Does anyone have any tips?
I took a payer of pliers, put gaffers tape on the inside of them not to scratch the plate and was able to get the original plate out that way. It just needs a good squeeze. Worked like a charm. The Panasonic plate popped in easily.

I don't quite get the idea of having a cyber-boyfriend or girlfriend. How do you "date" or have a romantic relationship with someone who you don't physically see in person? Full disclosure, I also don't fully trust the process of online dating for myself, but I never had to either… filtering and select a potential partner or love interest from a thumbnail and bio–especially considering the looming prospect that they could be totally scamming you (hello… ever watch Catfish?).

Nursing Collective Agreement Ns
Conciliation will begin on November 9 with the Nova Scotia Health Council, which is seeking a fair collective agreement for the hundreds of workers employed by the Nova Scotia Health Authority and the IWK. The Board is made up of members of the negotiating committee of Unifor, NSGEU, CUPE and NSNU. The Board and the employers agreed to send nursing to the negotiating table for the last time, because there are unique issues of care that need to be addressed in the negotiations and perhaps through mediation – arbitration. This board is composed of Unifor, CUPE, NSNU and NSGEU. This board is now responsible for collective bargaining for all acute hospital workers in Nova Scotia. By the end of 2017, the Council had made minimal progress and almost total closure at the negotiating table. A conciliator was then invited to intervene and yet no real progress was made. As a result, last week, members of the Public Health Committee gave their bargaining commission a 93% strike mandate. Council negotiators are working to finalize their proposal for essential services in the hope of resuming discussions in the coming weeks. This round of negotiations has been a long and sometimes frustrating process for members of the health sector. The McNeil Liberals used their majority government like no other provincial government in Canada to invoke several anti-union laws. Employers` negotiators still refuse to submit proposals to change sickness benefits for health care workers. Despite these obstacles, the negotiating committee fought during these negotiations to protect the key benefits that members have negotiated over the past forty years.
As a result, employers` negotiators continue to indicate that they want to exercise full control over health and dental money plans. If the Council of Health Trade Unions were to abandon this control, employers could, without the agreement of the unions, make unilateral changes to benefits. For more information, please contact: All other language offers will not come into effect until October 1, 2018. This will allow membership and the employer to verify and adapt changes. Until that date, Unifor 4600`s collective agreement applies. "These were complex negotiations that required a lot of thoughtful work from all sides to reduce and consolidate nearly 50 four-agreement agreements per employer," d`Entremont said in a press release on Tuesday. The agreement included the requirement to dismiss nurses for 48 hours for any change to a planned position. The standard was known 24 hours earlier.
The trial that led to this sentence began almost two years ago, when the Council of Public Health Unions began negotiating 16 collective agreements for the IWK and one for the NSHA. The bargaining team of the Council of Trade Unions is pleased to make this update available to members of the progress made in the implementation of a new collective agreement. The agreement provides for six-year wage increases, protects current health, sickness and retirement benefits for health, nursing, support and management services employed in hospitals across the province. "This government has interfered from day one in fair collective bargaining, and this has a lot of laws that have strengthened the hand of employers by imposing wage stops and concessions," said Lana Payne, Regional Director of Unifor Atlantic. Hazelton said the new agreement would give nurses more flexibility. The four unions look forward to working with mediator William Kaplan, who will try to help the parties reach an agreement through mediation, but will give a final and binding distinction on unresolved issues. Ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to inform you that your negotiating committee reached an interim agreement late in the day…<eot>Water Heaters Services in Modesto, CA | Repair, Installation & Replacement

Energy Efficiency Water Heaters
Homeowners often think of storage tank systems when they think of water heaters. These are the most popular and commonly seen water heaters in homes today, able to hold a supply of hot water ranging from 20-80 gallons. Hot water is released from the top of the tank when operating, and cold water enters through the bottom to be heated.
This method ensures that the tank remains full and the water remains heated. The problem with these systems is that their setup can be inefficient. While some storage tank water heaters do have a heavily insulated tank to reduce this, tank systems suffer from standby heat loss.
This means you're paying for hot water that your family doesn't even get to use. There are a number of high-efficiency water heaters on the market today, including the tankless water heater, heat pump water heater, and solar water heater.
Modesto, CA Tankless Water Heater Installation
Also referred to as on-demand water heaters, tankless systems only heat water when there is a demand for it from an appliance or water tap in your Modesto area home. When hot water is called for, cold water travels through a pipe into the tankless water heater, and from there either a gas-powered or electric heat exchanger heats the water.
This means that a tankless water heater installation delivers a constant supply of hot water, with no standby energy loss like you'd get from a standard storage tank water heater.
Heat pump water heater installations are the newest thing in water heating technology. Its technology has actually been used for years in other heating products, such as heat pump HVAC systems. Heat is pulled from the air that surrounds the water heater tank, and distributed into the tank.
This works even when the air around the heat pump water heater is cool. A heat pump water heater installation is a great, highly efficient, alternative to the conventional tank system.
What makes a solar water heater installation different is that it uses a free resource in order to operate—sunlight! They use the heat of the sun to warm your water, which is an excellent solution to Modesto homeowners looking to achieve a "green" home and eco-friendly environment in their household.
Solar water heaters do sometimes require a gas or electric booster or backup for cloudy days. However given the number of sunny days we get in the Modesto area, this is a great option for our customers!<eot>Are we going to be witnessing Succession or Balkanization, that’s what all of us should be thinking right now.

Life dealt us the worst of hands. However, we've taken what little we have and built ourselves an empire. I would rather it be that way than to be born in a pampered world shielded from all pain. That would leave us confined and dependant on the very people that pampered us in the first place even through adulthood. Yes, we could have been protected from CSA but we weren't. We know about pain and suffering. We have learned to survive. My experiences with CSA were absolutely God Aweful, but those experiences were MY experiences no matter how painful and I would not trade them for the world. I'm sure it sounds insane not to want a life without CSA. I have tackled these issues head on. Pain will come, but knowing that I AM RIGHT WHERE I NEED TO BE is the most important thing. I am a survivor and I'm damn proud of that. Maybe we could have been a CEO or a Rockstar. Maybe we could have been an Olympic Athlete or the President. All I know is that we are who we are and are exactly who we're supposed to be. We may be hurt or mislead. However, determination and hope will help light our way through this dark world. Eventually, that light will get so big, that one day, you'll look around, and notice, the world isn't dark anymore. It's actually very beautiful and so are you.

My brother talked to me about this topic and he said and I quote; "You may win the rat race but your still a rat." To me, we are all living on this planet and some attain better positions in society, monetary gain and so forth but in the end the only thing that really counts is the fact that you did your very best and for me, when I stand in front of my maker I want him to be proud of what I did with what he gave me. We are blessed and I know that may not seem right to some but the burdens we endoured have made us stronger individuals and I am better for it, I know it.I don't want to be a rat, I don't want to get caught up in the rat race.

Your life is what you make it. You are who you perceive yourself to be. You may do things that are wrong that you may not even be conscious of at the moment. That's the joy of being human. Imperfection is a blessing. Not a fault. The rat race is another man's perception. Thus, his perception is his reality, not yours. Before your time comes to stand before God, do you think you can stand before yourself and say the same thing?

I am pretty sure I know exactly where I would be if the CSA hadn't happened. I don't long for it though. It would be far more formulaic than my life today.
#205327 - 02/15/08 02:34 PM
Can't really say where I would be. However, if I didn't sabotage my passions in life at such an early age, I'd probably be coaching College Baseball, hopefully married, watching my sons play baseball (I know, who knows how they would turn out), living closer to my family and enjoying life.As it is, coaching college baseball is not an option right now, probably won't be, but the rest will follow.

This movie tells the story of an emotional distant and shy woman whose mother dies. After years of taking care of her mother (as well as apparently scrounging everything that they ever came in contact with in true pack rat fashion), she finds herself attracted to a much younger man at the office where she works. Doris then proceeds to stalk the young man, both in real life and online, while fantasizing about an improbable romance between the pair (with full on delusions where she loses track of the world around her). After intentionally breaking the man’s relationship up, Doris attempts to seduce the young man at a Thanksgiving party.
Truthfully, I am not exaggerating too much about the story. Hello, My Name is Doris is absolutely about an emotionally damaged woman who has just lost the mother that she lived with and cared for for years. She cared for her mother above anything else in her life, including her own happiness. She has a brother (Stephen Root) who is anxious to sell their family house, but Doris is having trouble getting past her emotional connection to the place.
When she meets John (Max Greenfield), Doris falls into “love” with him. Doris does all kind of things to try and get close to him. He sees her as a friend.
Honestly, when you look at the things, Doris truly is a stalker. She does some very manipulative things. The thing is though that Sally Field projects such an innocence about the character that you don’t think of her as a crazy stalker. She is funny and charismatic and eccentric, and the movies works because of it. Without Sally Field, Hello, My Name is Doris is not very successful. With her, the movie is a fun time that has some good humor and interesting characters. There are several side characters that are well used in this film including Root, Tyne Daley and Peter Gallagher.
Sally Field will turn 70 years old this year, but she brings a great energy to this film. The scene of her dancing to the cd of Baby Goya, an electo-band, is one of the highlights of the film. This could have been an unmitigated disaster, but Sally Field brings something special to it and truly saves the picture.
Earlier this year, one of our great actors passed away. Alan Rickman died after a great career. This was his final film.
Eye in the Sky was a compelling, intense, dramatic, uncomfortable, emotional, breathtaking movie that I have seen in a long time.
British military have intel on three known terrorists, one of which was a former British citizen and the military was preparing for a capture mission inside the friendly nation of Kenya. Colonel Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren) was in charge of the mission and she had drones in the skies above Kenya to help pinpoint their mission. However, a twist occurred when they discovered that there was a more immediate threat to the safety of the world than we thought. This changed the mission from a capture to a kill. The problem? An innocent little girl found her way into the kill zone, making it likely that she would become collateral damage. The struggle over what to do followed.
This was so amazing. I was on the edge of my seat the entire film. There may not have been a lot of action in the film, but that did not mean that it wasn’t an intense film. The dialogue between the characters was unbelievable. It showed how compelling drama could be, without just worrying about explosions.
The debate about what to do was difficult. As it was happening, you were as conflicted as the characters on the screen. As each character tried to push off the decision onto someone else, we, as the audience, were becoming frustrated. However, it was still not an easy choice. I wasn’t sure what I had wanted to happen.
Alan Rickman was Lt. General Frank Benson and he did a great job in this role. With every facial expression, Rickman showed not only the frustration over the constant delays on the decision that he knew had to be made, but also the conflict brought about by the decision.
Aaron Paul played Steve Watts, the soldier who was in charge of the drone, and thought that all he had to do was manage the eye in the sky. Little did he know that he would be responsible for delivering the missile that could cause the collateral damage. Paul has not had a great movie role to match his brilliance from his role as Jesse on Breaking Bad, but this is that role. He brought so much humanity to this character that could have been one note that you felt every bit of the emotional struggles that he did and you hoped, beyond hope, that he would be able to save the girl.
Helen Mirren was also great as the colonel who wanted to launch the missile, but still had that uncertainty in her eyes. She could easily have been a villain, a cliche of the military, but she was not. She was a human being who wanted what she wanted, but was conflicted with what she wanted to happen. She was a complex character and you could really root for her and you understood what she did.
And there was also a hero in the film. Barkhad Abdi (Academy Award nominee for Captain Phillips) played one of the insiders in Kenya who went out of his way to try to save the kids in the area. He was great in the film as well.
This movie was very disturbing and tense. You felt uncomfortable. You felt emotion. You worried and stressed and it was amazing. I truly enjoyed this movie. My emotions were shaken, tears fell from my eyes, and I was alive. And it wasn’t just because Alan Rickman was here, using that melodic voice, for the last time. After he was Severus Snipe and the Sheriff of Nottingham and Hans Gruber, his on-screen filmography ends as Lt. General Frank Benson.
I was not sure if the gimmick of this movie could be sustained over the entire run of a movie. For most of the time, I think Hardcore Henry succeeds.
There is no doubt that this film sprung from the mind of a video game player. Created in first person, much like the first person shooter games such as Doom and Grand Theft Auto, Hardcore Henry sees the world through the eyes of Henry’s POV and does not refrain from that story telling bit through the film’s run time.
Henry wakes up as a woman he does not remember is reattaching a robotic arm and leg. The woman Estelle (Haley Bennett) tells Henry that she was his wife. Suddenly a villainous character named Akan (Danila Kozlovsky) shows up, flashes some telekinetic powers, and sends Henry and his wife on the run. Henry gets separated from her and meets up with Jimmy (Sharlto Copley) who is a mysterious man trying to, seemingly, help Henry.
The film is the next generation of the found footage film, just twisting this to a different level. The first person perspective that this film boasts does drag it down at times, and there were many action scenes that were very difficult to watch because Henry was flopping all around, causing the POV to be shaky. If you do not appreciate the shaky-cam style, then you will not like much of the action scenes in Hardcore Henry.
However, the action that you can see is amazing, bloody, and violent. There are some extremely disturbing and creative ways to kill people in Hardcore Henry, and the action barely slows down. There are a few scenes sprinkled in wisely to allow the audience to breathe, but they are not the focus of the film.
As I said, this is very much a video game come to the big screen and I can see where some people may be turned off by it. I will admit that some of the film felt repetitive because of this.
Still, you definitely relate to Henry, who wakes up with no memory and starts on this adventure of discovery along with the audience. Henry knows as much as we do about what is going on, and he learns as we do. That connection makes some of the weaker parts of this movie more palpable. It is actually amazing that a character who we never see or hear can be worth rooting for, but Hardcore Henry pulls that off.
There are also some definite off beat moments in Hardcore Henry, many of which are provided by Sharlito Copley. To be perfectly honest, some of the scenes with Copley were strong and mysterious and others were ridiculous and over-the-top. This hit-and-miss aspect hurt this character for me, though I think the pay off of exactly what was happening with him is very creative and entertaining (and…a song?). I just found the character of Jimmy to be at the center of most of the scenes that I felt were weak.
Except of course for the villain. Akan is a terrible villain. He is basically a mustache-twirling villain, bent on world domination. He did not seem to fit in the story and the telekinetic powers were jarring the first time he used them. He reminded me very much of Tommy Wiseau’s character from The Room with his accent and some of the facial reactions he gave. Again though, his final fight with Henry is well worth his inclusion in the film. He could have been a considerably stronger antagonist if he had some personality.
Although, personality for the antagonist can be difficult when you are only seeing one perspective of the film so Hardcore Henry should be commended for accomplishing what they did. There was humor included, some of it seemed to not fit the tone while other humorous bits really hit home.
Hardcore Henry is oddball enough that it has a chance to be an innovative movie that inspires other films to do something different. It is far from perfect, but it survived a middle of the film that was just bizarre to come out as a strong action film. This has a possibility of becoming a cult hit, though I do not think this is a movie that will find a wide spread following. It feels like a niche film, but it is a pretty solid niche film.
If you do not like video games or the level of violence displayed by most first person shooter games, then Hardcore Henry is not for you. There is a ton of blood and bodies. If you enjoy the video game world, this might be for you.
Gyllenhaal played Davis Mitchell, an investment banker who was involved in a tragic car crash with his wife. Davis’s wife died at the hospital and Davis goes into a strange, loss of emotions. He writes a complaint letter to a vending machine company where he dives into his life and the tragedy surrounding him and then this letter is answered by fellow oddball Karen (Naomi Watts). These two form a connection. Davis also connects with Karen’s 15 year old son Chris (Judah Lewis). This behavior leads to a conflict with his wife’s father Phil (Chris Cooper).
Davis begins to take items apart. He takes apart his computer, a bathroom stall at work, an espresso machine. He goes to a construction site just so he could swing a sledgehammer and destroy things.
I’m not sure what about this movie did not work for me. The story was decent and the performances were strong, but there just felt as if there were something missing. Perhaps I never connected with Davis the way I was supposed to have connected since he was not an enjoyable character. Maybe I didn’t buy his reaction to his wife’s death. Maybe I didn’t have enough of a reason to grieve for her myself, since we barely met her before she died. Maybe Davis was just too much of a jerk. I’m just not sure.
I felt bad for Phil, as he struggled to understand his son-in-law’s actions and tried to get past the death of his beloved daughter. Chris Cooper does a very good job in this film, portraying the confusion over Davis’s choices while still trying to understand this tragic event.
The character of Karen was another whole thing. I never believed in this connection she seemed to form with Davis, and she felt more like a crazy stalker than someone who could help Davis past his lack of emotions. Her own actions truly put her sanity into question, a plot line that is dropped as the film progressed.
And… did I miss this…but who was in the station wagon that was following Davis? Did we ever find that out and I missed it?
There are positives about Demolition, but the weird tone and strange character choices really made this feel off. Sure, Gyllenhaal is good again, but this is nowhere near his performances from Southpaw or Nightcrawler. His character was not very likable here, but not as well developed or written as some of his other unlikable roles. There are many scenes where it was just Gyllenhaal wielding a sledgehammer and breaking dry wall. Not the most exciting of concepts.
Some comedy actors fall into playing the exact same role in every movie they appear in. Performers such as Adam Sandler, Kevin Hart, Michael Cera have not changed up their roles very often, choosing to stick with what has brought them success in the past. Melissa McCarthy has fallen into this same trend and her newest film, The Boss, is no exception.
Michelle Darnell (McCarthy) is a self-made millionaire, titan of business, who is arrested and sent to prison for insider trading. After serving her sentence, she is released, but her funds were frozen and she had nothing left. Michelle went to her former assistant Claire (Kristen Bell) for help. While sleeping on Claire’s couch, Michelle discovers that Claire makes the greatest brownies and begins plotting her comeback.
