. You’ve planned out your whole Q1, H1, FY19 and you’re raring to go....Tees Bay Retail Park Age UK store says recycling gifts will allow it to continue running its vital services and make this winter a little brighter for the elderly.
In addition to raising funds to continue her work, giving unwanted gifts also helps reduce landfill waste, the association added.
Karen Bentley, Hartlepool Store Manager, said: “It can be difficult knowing what to do with gifts that will never be used or that you don’t want.
“As a nation we are more environmentally conscious than ever before, so instead of throwing them away or hiding them, we are encouraging local residents to donate them to the Age UK Shop in Hartlepool.”
People are advised to check with the store before donating to make sure they can accept gifts, and they ask that all donated clothes be washed and dried first.
Research has found that each year we receive an average of two unwanted Christmas gifts each, which equates to over 119.5 million gifts that miss the mark. Of these, 22.7 million end up being sent to landfill.
Age UK says its support services, including its free and confidential counseling line and telephone friendship services, are invaluable lifesavers for the most vulnerable elderly, especially during the winter.
Age UK Hartlepool Shop also encourages people to make their donation an additional 25% value by signing up for Gift Aid when donating.
This means the charity will receive an additional 25 cents from the government for every £ 1 raised through donations.

The Hartlepool couple cook over 20 free dinners for single people on Ch …Greetings, dear readers. Apologies for being AWOL, but this new luxury travel gig for Skift is keeping me going 24/7. But I continue to squeeze in time for my Travel Tuesday gadget guru segments on Great Day Washington. Here's the most recent, which features items like A/Stand, AirHook, Face Cradle and the HydraPak collapsible water bottle. Take a look.If car development gets to the stage where that is a significant problem then that would make self driving cars a complete success.

It's implying that the car is driving autonomously at all times, and can differentiate between "bus full of children" rather than "big thing not to hit" and can also differentiate between "pedestrian" and "moving thing not to hit" 

I don't think the technology has advanced enough to tell what the other thing in its vision is at all "pedestrian", "postal box" or "parking meter" would be all the same to the Lidar system. It just knows not to hit it.

I suspect this morality question is more of a boondoggle from people who don't understand how the technology works.Pocket, the coolest offline reading app for Android that is now, has just been upgraded. The new version advantages from KitKat's immersive mode. This mode pushes system bars off screen and floats the navigation buttons above any action you are doing. This new version also brings other features like multi language support and other reading settings. Pocket 5.4 will be updated automatically on your device. A pop-up will reappear that will ask for your permission to install the new update or if you want more information.The immersive mode is providing a nicer and simpler way to read stuff as it has a refined layout and hidden status bars. ( you must have installed Android 4.1+). It also has an adjustment feature that automatically fits the text on your device. The new languages in Pocket are Chinese, Dutch, Korean, Portuguese and Polish. It's simple! If you are in a hurry and want to save a link for after reading ( even in offline mode) just share it to pocket and there you have it. Do you have Pocket installed on your device? How often do you use it?I would have liked some more expansion but I think Super’s Paragus does have more depth than his Z version. Z Paragus is just evil, he does not care for Broly and would be happy to abandon him if he wasn’t useful. Super Paragus, I think, does actually love Broly even though he’s a shitty person that is too focused on revenge. He risked his life to save his son and did what he thought was best for him. Unfortunately his views, likely due to his own Saiyan upbringing, were the exact worst ways to raise a son. He at least had some affection underneath his revenge fantasy. If Super Paragus had witnessed Broly being killed, I do think he would be distraught over it.Ok last video of Doom, the uploads at 4k take a while and this one took 9 hours and 15 minutes to upload. It's good performance at 5120 x 3200 and I'm quite impressed, turning off motion blur gives another 5-7 FPS.

Crysis 3 at 3840 x 2400 resolution, highest settings no AA. Performance is good but can't keep a solid 60 FPS.
The video is in progress of editing to make it a little brighter.
Watch Dogs 2 3840 x 2400 resolution.
This game has the aspect ratio option but it stays at 16:10, I can change it to 16:9 but it doesn't do anything.
Lot of cut scenes in this one, I should have skipped them.
Witcher 3 - 3840 x 2400 highest game settings.
Try updating the MEI driver.
I dug down into the archives and pulled out F.E.A.R. 3, this game is resolution limited, I didn't realize it until I checked the settings, it's been a while since I played it.
Still great performance, I was a little lost at the beginning.
More Watchdogs 2 with the latest Nvidia driver 385.69.
If anyone plays this add me ( Nate152 ) to your Uplay friends list, LET'S PLAY! was wearing blinkers for the first time for Sunday's work and will likely be equipped with them when he runs next in the $1 million Travers Stakes (gr. I) at Saratoga on Aug. 24.
"He went awesome," Dollase said. "We put the cheater blinkers on him, which really aren't much; just a little bit of an edge to get him to concentrate more on what he's doing. I was very impressed, his rider – who has been his rider for months now – was impressed and Cincy (Dollase's wife) said she got goosebumps.
"His last two races were very difficult for him," Dollase said. "After he won the Illinois Derby (gr. II) he was confident, but the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) really shook him up. But he's figured it out and I expect him to run much better in three weeks.
Hall of Famer Pat Day, who has been aboard the Chisholm, Jarvis and Reddam color bearer for his past five starts, will be back aboard the colt for the Travers.
Ten Most Wanted has banked $653,460 from a career line of 8-2-3-1.
Affirmed Handicap (gr. III) winner Eye of the Tiger, who finished in a dead-heat for third in the Swaps with Outta Here, is also probable for the Travers. Alex Solis would ride.
Eye of the Tiger worked a half-mile in :48 2/5 at Del Mar on Saturday for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.
Ten Most Wanted Works in Blinkers for TraversPocketNotams is a tool for loading, displaying and plotting active notams. Its purpose is to provide a fast and up to date cross-reference for active notams.
It is specifically designed to run on an iPhone to check and easily plot notam information - just before you hop in and take off!
Very easy to use... start the app, allow access to location services, accept the'small print' (first time only), ensure you are connected to the internet (either mobile data or WiFi) and hit 'Refresh'. Then scroll through the latest notams or browse them on the map.
Currently the area of coverage is UK only and all times are UTC.
This version adds minor improvements.
* When the setting "Refresh automatically" is on, PocketNotams will fetch new notams when it is first opened. If the PocketNotams app is restarted or has been in the background for an extended period it will also fetch new notams on opening.
* The map in 'Detail' view will now show the current location.
Great app, very handy and free!
Well designed and responsive. Developer has obviously has put a lot of thought into it. Especially like the maps feature. Would be happy to pay a quid or two for this.
Brilliant! Fast and easy to use with the reassurance of being able to see the full NATS Notam text with just a couple of taps from the map view.
Not sure why 'night operations' are excluded but never less a terrific App.
I don't usually write reviews but this does deserve a little recognition. Been using it for 18 months now. Can't fault it at all. Would not fly without checking this first.The Information and Records Management Society (IRMS) was formed in 1983 and today boasts 1000 members from across the UK and around the world, spanning the public, private and third sectors.
