Northgard Early Access Impressions
by Remko Molenaar
@Rmk0
Real time strategy games are starting to become a niche that only a select amount of people like. And this is rather strange since it was such a prominent genre through most of the golden age of PC gaming. In every genre there is now a popular series that once started out as just a mere strategy game, be it either branching from PC games or board games. Northgard is an early access game that brings a breath of fresh air to the genre, and hopefully wakes the strategy game enthusiasts from their slumber.
Growing up I had an absolute blast with the first Age of Empires games in the series. I still remember the day I had gotten the demo disk. I couldn't stop playing it for weeks; every day at school I just couldn't wait to get home to play around in Age of Empires. Having been brought up with strategy games with the likes of Warcraft, it was refreshing to see a game like Age of Empires that took a somewhat more realistic approach instead of the many fantasy worlds most strategy games took place in. And while Warcraft definitely got me interested in strategy games, Age of Empires really brought my fascination to a whole new level with the base building, and having the base be equally as important as your army.
Northgard is a game that I like to see as a little bit of both, combined with a touch of Settlers. Settlers is another great strategy game that had its own thing going, but never really got extremely popular, even though it definitely deserves to be remembered as one of the greatest series the genre has ever known. In Northgard you can find the same graphical style and pace. You start out in just a small grid, a grid where only a select few buildings can be placed. If you want to build more buildings, you will slowly have to expand to areas around your base. Every area on the map has its own features, be it either wild animals that can be hunted, or stone that can be mined. The amount of buildings that can be placed in an area also differs, so you really have to play around with both your Clan, which heavily influences your game play, and your strategy, to find the right balance to outdo your foes.
Winning the game isn't simply done by defeating all your opponents, but there is more than one road that leads to Rome. While murdering every single one of your enemies is still a doable option, there are alternatives that really make the game a lot more interesting. You have five different victory conditions, and completing only one will win you the game. These five are Domination, Fame, Trade, Wisdom, and Helheim. As you can expect these all have their different set of goals, and you can easily win a game by not attacking anyone at all. Expanding your base to become wealthier is also a path to Victory, but let's be fair, isn't that a little too boring?
The game starts slow, with only a few villagers to play around with. You will need to decide how exactly you want to expand, and how you want to collect your resources. Depending on the clan you have chosen, you will have different bonuses that can help you out a lot at the start of the game. Currently there are four clans, each representing an animal, and when you start up the game I can recommend you to pick the Clan of the Goat. This clan will help you with your food production, which is also one of the hardest resources to manage when you're new. Especially since the game has a winter cycle each year. And in the winter you will obviously use more resources to keep your Civilians and Warband warm and properly fed. Expansion is the best way to grow big, but don't make hasty decisions or your people will be starving to death when winter comes. Northgard is a game that you have to take slow, and plays a lot slower than the likes of a Starcraft.
You don't have to rush, in fact, Northgard is a game where you can just lean back in your chair, have a goal in mind and slowly work your way from the ground up. You are unable to rush, and the game in itself doesn't require a lot of RTS actions per minute to succeed. When a new villager is assigned a role, he will automatically do his job and you will reap the benefits of this. The only thing you get to do is decide what you want to build, where you want to expand to, and what your army does. And while Food and Lumber are relatively easy to get, you will have to do your best to find Stone, Iron and Coins to really advance you forward.
As I've said earlier, the game isn't like Starcraft where every second matters and the faster player has a bigger advantage over the other. Northgard is very relaxing in this regard, and even your army doesn't get as big as you think is needed. Having a warband of ten warriors is already considered quite the army, one that can definitely cause chaos on the playing field. The maps in general aren't necessarily big either, even when played on the biggest size your enemies are always relatively close to you, and having scouts slowly advancing forward discovering new areas is a great way to know what exactly your enemies are doing. You never know if your close neighbor might be building an army and slowly advancing towards you. It is also a great way to know if someone is taking a different approach, like becoming the wealthy trader to win the game like that.
Northgard also has a unique approach to combat, and in general when it comes to growing your base on the map. Since all over the world you have these different areas that can be seen as different grids on a chess board type of idea, you cannot really rush into the base of someone else's territory. But you have to slowly work your way forward, taking control of every grid until you get to the grid with the Town Hall. When the area of the Town Hall is taken over, the player loses and is automatically defeated. So defend your first initial area at all cost, or you will be watching the remainder of the game from the sidelines.
State of Early Access: Excellent
Northgard is a game that really combines the brilliant features of the best strategy games we've known to this day. Only it enhances them, making it better but still keeping it relatively simple so everyone is able to enjoy this game. I have played Starcraft 2 on a very decently high level, and although I never really got to the absolute top of the ladder, I wasn't too far off. But one thing that mainly held me and many others back was how stressful the game can be. Even a game like Age of Empires can be really stressful when everything is on fire and you get attacked from every possible side. Northgard isn't a game where you experience a lot of stress, though you always have the occasional moment where you will be scratching your head wondering where it went wrong. But it doesn't require you to have Korean blood running through your veins and doing two hundred different actions per minute. It is a very beginner friendly game, but don't take this lightly, because strategy is still key, and when played online against others, you have to sometimes band together to come out ahead. Just know that when dealing with Vikings, you never know when your friendship is going to end, since there can only be one victor.

Forensics Experts Find CMP Videos Manipulated, Unreliable for Investigative Purposes
August 27, 2015 — Recently released videos that target Planned Parenthood were manipulated, making them unreliable for official inquiries into the organization, according to a report Planned Parenthood submitted to Congress on Thursday, the New York Times reports.
According to the Times , Planned Parenthood commissioned the report from Fusion GPS, a research and corporate intelligence firm, and Glenn Simpson, Fusion's co-founder and former investigative journalist for the Wall Street Journal (Calmes, New York Times , 8/27).
The videos, which depict Planned Parenthood staff discussing fetal tissue donation, were released by an antiabortion-rights group called the Center for Medical Progress. CMP secretly filmed the videos by meeting with Planned Parenthood staff while posing as buyers of fetal tissue.
Planned Parenthood has stated that the videos were heavily edited and that the filmed officials did not conduct any illegal activities. The organization said it does not profit from fetal tissue donations and only receives reimbursement for costs associated with such donations, which is legal. Meanwhile, supporters of Planned Parenthood said the videos are part of a decades-long campaign against the organization.
Following the videos' release, conservative lawmakers on the House Energy and Commerce Committee in July launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood ( Women's Health Policy Report , 7/24). Meanwhile, Attorney General Loretta Lynch (D) has said the Department of Justice is "going to review all the information and determine what steps, if any, to take at the appropriate time" ( Women's Health Policy Report , 7/29).
According to the Times , Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, sent the report to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
The report assesses footage and transcripts from content CMP recorded in California, Colorado and Texas. CMP has since released more footage ( New York Times , 8/27).
Specifically, the researchers looked at five shorter clips that featured snippets of conversation taken from meetings between Planned Parenthood and CMP (King, Washington Examiner , 8/27). The researchers also examined four longer pieces of footage, from which the shorter videos were compiled, that CPM activist David Daleiden claims are full-length recordings. A service was hired to transcribe the footage -- without being notified that Planned Parenthood was the client -- to compare with the transcripts provided by CMP.
In comparing the two transcripts, researchers found that there were "substantive omissions" in CMP's content. The researchers said, "A thorough review of these videos in consultation with qualified experts found that they do not present a complete or accurate record of the events they purport to depict." For example, they noted that certain recordings collected in Colorado and Texas cut roughly 30 minutes of content from the alleged full-footage videos and that the edited material in the shorter videos misleadingly portrays comments from Planned Parenthood staff.
They concluded that "the manipulation of the videos does mean they have no evidentiary value in a legal context and cannot be relied upon for any official inquiries," unless CMP shares original footage that is independently assessed and found to be unaltered ( New York Times , 8/27).

ISIS Have Beheaded A 15 Year Old Boy For Listening To Pop Music
It's not a crime punishable by death.
A 15 year old boy named Ayham Hussein has allegedly been beheaded in the Iraqi town of Mosul after he was caught listening to pop music on a portable CD player.
He faced an Islamist court, was found guilty and then executed shortly afterwards. His body was handed over to his family on Tuesday.
The execution fits in with the extremely conservative beliefs of ISIS, which state the following:
Songs and music are forbidden in Islam as they prevent one from the remembrance of God and the Koran and are a temptation and corruption of the heart.
As such, all music and songs in cars, at parties, in shops and in public, as well as photographs of people in shop windows are banned.
Images VIA
Well, I mean that completely and utterly sucks – I couldn't imagine living in a world without music or photographs, although probably photographs less so. It's not something I think I could be involved with. I suppose Ayham knew the risks of what he was doing when he was listening to pop music though. I hope it was a banger at least.
A Nineveh media centre spokesperson told ARA News explained the circumstances surrounding Hussein's death a little more clearly:
Hussein was captured by the jihadis while listening to pop music at the grocery store of his father in the Nabi Younis marketplace in western Mosul.
It is the first execution for listening to music in the city and has outraged many of the locals.
I suppose it's pretty good that some of the locals are pretty outraged about this, but it's unlikely they would actually be able to do anything though as the whole town is under ISIS control and whenever anybody tries to do anything they probably just get killed like poor Ayham.
Let's hope the fact that ISIS is reportedly bankrupt and bleeding cash can lead to a reverse of these situations happening in the future though.

CrisisWatch Report N°86, 1 October 2010
03 India, 06 Russia, 08 Wild Cards, CrisisWatch reports
Seven actual or potential conflict situations around the world deteriorated and none improved in September 2010, according to the latest issue of the International Crisis Group's monthly bulletin CrisisWatch, released today.
Guinea saw increased political and ethnic divisions, exacerbated by controversies related to the presidential elections. Two days of violent clashes in the capital between rival supporters of the two presidential candidates, Alpha Conde and Cellou Diallo, left one person dead and dozens injured. Continued delays in the timing of the run-off and Diallo's rejection of the appointment of the election commission's new head led to further tensions between the two camps.
In Sri Lanka moves by President Rajapaksa to consolidate his power through a de facto constitutional coup transformed the political terrain. On 8 September the parliament passed the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, which gives the President nearly unbridled power by scrapping term limits on the presidency, abolishing the Constitutional Court and allowing the President to appoint directly officials to the judiciary, police and electoral bodies.
More protesters were killed by police in Kashmir as anti-India demonstrations continued and spread to new areas, bringing the death toll from the demonstrations since June to over 100. The Indian government on 25 September announced an eight-point plan aimed at calming the situation. Separatist leaders rejected the initiative and said that protests will continue.
The situation in Burundi deteriorated as violent clashes between security forces and armed groups increased, alongside kidnappings and fatal attacks on civilians. There are increasingly credible indications that elements disgruntled with elections held earlier this year have re-established bases and taken up arms in the Rukoko and Kibira areas. However, local authorities deny that former rebels are regrouping and insist that bandits are behind the recent attacks.
The month saw a new upsurge of violence in Russia's restive North Caucasus region, demonstrating the growing ability of guerrillas to carry out major operations. In the deadliest terrorist strike anywhere in Russia since the March subway bombings in Moscow, a suicide attack killed at least 17 at a market in the capital of North Ossetia. A spate of bold guerrilla attacks also struck security personnel and infrastructure in Dagestan.
The situation in Ecuador took a dramatic turn at the end of the month when disaffected members of the police and armed forces staged a protest against proposed austerity measures, taking control of the National Assembly building and airport and laying siege to a hospital where President Correa had sought refuge. President Correa later said the revolt amounted to an attempted coup. Meanwhile, in Mozambique 13 people were killed and over 170 injured in three days of riots that took place early in the mont h over food and energy price increases.

Q: How do I tune mysql slow query? I want to optimize this mysql query. It is supper slow in my case as it takes 5.6 second to execute.I used profiler to sort out the issue but I don't have much knowlege about database. My query is here:
SELECT
n.name,
n.computedmeaning,
m.origin,
m.gender,
m.pronunciation,
m.similar,
m.variants
FROM
names n
INNER JOIN meta m ON m.nameid = n.id
WHERE m.religion = 'hindu'
AND n.computedmeaning IS NOT NULL ORDER BY n.name LIMIT 0 , 30
I only have PARIMARY INDEX "id" on meta table and PRIMARY INDEX "id" on name table also full text search is enabled on name table. here is screen shot:
At last here is my profiler screen shot alerts:
A: Give index for the field religion and computedmeaning .
Refer In MySQL how to set index to the table?
The CREATE INDEX statement is used to create indexes in tables.
Indexes allow the database application to find data fast; without reading the whole table.
A: Using Index will surely decrease the run time of your query.
However, you can try the below query. It will give you better performance.
SELECT
n.name,
n.computedmeaning,
m.origin,
m.gender,
m.pronunciation,
m.similar,
m.variants
FROM
(SELECT *
FROM names
WHERE computedmeaning IS NOT NULL) n
INNER JOIN (SELECT *
FROM meta
WHERE religion='hindu') m ON m.nameid = n.id
ORDER BY n.name LIMIT 0 , 30
A: names: INDEX(name, computedmeaning, id) -- in this order
meta: INDEX(name_id, religion) -- in either order
That names index may consume the ORDER BY, thereby saving a sort. It is also "covering", which helps with performance.
That meta index should be efficient for the JOIN.

Nappies: Whether you use disposables or cloth nappies, you're going to need plenty.
A changing table with a washable pad, and preferably a safety railing: Older babies do tend to wriggle a lot!
Baby wipes: Truly indispensible, whether they're for changing nappies or cleaning hands and faces.
Nappy rash or bum cream: A great preventative measure.
Washcloths: Sometimes, even baby wipes don't do the job. Having a cloth or two that you can use with warm water should take care of even the worst mess.
Aside from these essentials, there are also things like a nappy bucket with a lid, nappy liners and waterproofs that you may find you need. If you're opting for disposables, don't be tempted to stock up on too many – you may find that your baby outgrows the newborn size very quickly!

Shri Sai Baba is revered as one of the greatest saints ever seen in India, endowed with unprecedented powers, and is worshipped as a God incarnate. SAI means Sakshaat Ishwar (Supreme Godhead). Some of HIS Hindu and Muslim followers regard HIM as a Saint, some as an incarnation of Lord Shiva or Lord Dattatreya or Saint Kabir. Some believed HIM as a Satguru.
However we treat HIM, it is true that, Shri Sai Baba is among the most influential spiritual gurus of India, who lived at a nondescript village of Shirdi in the state of Maharashtra, India. With HIS miraculous powers and captivating teachings, HE is been ruling the hearts of millions of HIS devotees, whose number is ever growing with each passing day.
HE begged for alms and shared what HE got with HIS devotees and all the creatures around HIM. HE never kept any food in reserve for the next meal.
Sai Baba conquered this Samsar (worldly existence), which is like a deep sea, very difficult and hard to cross. Peace or mental calm was HIS ornament and HE was the repository of wisdom. HE was the home of Vaishnava devotees, most liberal amongst liberals, the quintessence of all essences.
HE had no love for perishable things and was always engrossed in self-realization, which was HIS sole concern. Baba felt no pleasure in the mundane things of this world or of the world beyond. HIS Antarang (heart) was as clear as a mirror and HIS speech always rained nectar. The rich or poor people were the same to HIM. SAI did not know or care for honor or dishonour.
This mysterious Fakir first made HIS appearance in Shirdi as a 16 year old boy and disappeared. Three years later, Mahalsapati Chimanji Nagare, the priest of Khandoba (the village Deity), identified this young Fakir in a marriage party that visited Shirdi and uttered with devotion,"YA SAI", means Welcome SAI.
Since then others also addressed HIM as SAI and thenceforth HE became known as SAI BABA.
HE transformed the lives of those who met HIM and continuously is doing so even after HIS Samadhi in 1918 for those whose hearts are touched by HIS love and who pray and call HIM at any emergency in life for HIS blessings.
If you think that HE was a Hindu, HE looked like a Muslim. If you think HIM to be a Muslim, HE looked like a pious Hindu. No one definitely knew whether HE was a Hindu or a Mohammedan. Inferences could be drawn from HIS dress or body features but all such superficial inferences were meaningless. They did not serve any purpose. HE celebrated the Hindu festival of Rama-Navami with all due formalities and at the same time permitted the 'Sandal' procession of the Mohammedans. HE encouraged wrestling bouts in this festival and gave good prizes to winners. When the Gokul Ashtami came, HE got the 'Gopal-Kala' ceremony duly performed and on 'Id' festivals, SAI allowed Mohammedans to say their prayers (Namaj) in HIS Masjid (Dwarakamai).
It is well-known that Baba took Dakshina (donation) from all, and out of the amount thus collected, HE spent a lot on charity and purchased fuel with the balance left with HIM. This fuel HE threw in the 'Dhuni' - the sacred fire, which HE kept ever burning. The ash from this fire was called Udi and it was freely distributed to the devotees at the time of their departure from Shirdi. Udi has been used to cure many diseases during and after Baba's reign.
HE was the common man's God. HE lived with them; HE slept and ate with them. Baba had a keen sense of humour. HE shared a 'chillum' (clay pipe for smoking) indiscriminately with them to write off the cast superiority and orthodoxy in their minds. HE had no pretensions of any kind .
HE was always very playful in the presence of children. Baba used to feed the fakirs and devotees and even cook for them.
Saibaba's perfect purity, benevolence, non -attachment, compassion and other virtues evoked deep reverence in the villagers around HIM. HIS divinity could not conceal itself for long. Initially when people wanted to worship HIM formally, Baba protested and dissuaded them.
But gradually HE allowed it with the prescience that it would become the means for temporal and spiritual benefits to millions of individuals for all time to come.
The Dwarkamai of Sai Baba was open to all, irrespective of caste, creed and religion. As the days passed, devotees from all walks of life started streaming into Shirdi. The village Shirdi was fast assuming prominence. As the gifts and presentations flowed in, the pomp and grandeur of Sai worship also increased. But Baba's life of a fakir remained calm, undisturbed, unaltered and there is the Saint's spiritual glory.
HE lived HIS divine mission through HIS pure self in a human embodiment. The immense energy that was manifested in the body of Sai was moving in a mysterious way, creating and recreating itself every where beyond the comprehension of time and space.
This fountainhead of unsurpassed spiritual glory shed HIS gross body on 15th October 1918. Every limb, every bone and pore of HIS body was permeated with divine essence.
Baba claimed that though one day HIS physical body will not exist, HIS remains will communicate with all those who seek HIM with inner yearnings. HIS self-allotted labour of love in HIS physical body was perhaps over. Today HE continues to work ever vigorously as the 'Sai Spirit'.

Operation Herring (Herring 1) was the last World War II airborne combat drop in Europe.
Background
The Allied April 1945 offensive on the Italian front, which was to end the Italian campaign and the war in Italy, was to decisively break through the German Gothic Line, the defensive line along the Apennines and the River Po plain to the Adriatic Sea and swiftly drive north to occupy Northern Italy and get to the Austrian and Yugoslav borders as quickly as possible. However, German strongpoints, as well as bridge, road, levee and dike blasting, and any occasional determined resistance in the Po Valley plain might slow the planned sweep down. Allied planners felt that dropping paratroops onto some key areas and locales south of the River Po could help wreak havoc in the German rear area, attack German communications and vehicle columns, further disrupting the German retreat, and prevent German engineers from blowing up key structures before Allied spearheads could exploit them. Lieutenant General Sir Richard McCreery, commander of the Commonwealth 8th Army, had a number of Italian paratroopers at hand for the task.
History
In March 1945, the airborne forces of the Allied-aligned Italian Co-belligerent Army comprised: the 114-strong 1st Reconnaissance Squadron "Folgore", which was made up of 12 sections/squads under Captain Carlo Gay, and; a 112-strong contingent, led by Lieutenant Guerrino Ceiner drawn from the remnants of the 184th Infantry Division "Nembo": four platoons, each made up of three sections/squads.
After being assigned to Operation Herring, the Italian paratroopers received a rapid but thorough training update under the supervision of a British SOE officer, Major Alex Ramsay, who was reportedly pleased by the Italian paratroopers' performance.
The mission would entail eight drops on as many areas south of Po River, southeast of Ferrara, the Mirandola area, and Poggio Rusco and the Modena-Mantua highway. It would last 36 hours. Every paratrooper was to be equipped with an Italian Beretta MAB submachine gun with 400 rounds, high explosive charges, four hand grenades, dagger, maps, and food for 48 hours.
On the night of 19/20 April 1945, the Italian paratroopers, plus at least one British paratrooper who had joined them, jumped from 14 Douglas C-47 transport aircraft of the US 64th Troop Carrier Group.
During the drop, they were scattered considerably, a few were captured upon landing, and 16 paracadutisti barricaded themselves in a farmhouse, after becoming surrounded by German forces; all but two of the Italians died while fighting until running out of ammunition.
Other groups of paracadutisti proved to be more effective, inflicting heavy damage and suffering light casualties. Two squads from "F" Squadron (18 personnel) captured two small towns, Ravarino and Stuffione, took 451 prisoners and held out until the arrival of Allied ground forces. Some paracadutisti were effective to the point of notoriety – several German prisoners were reportedly murdered in cold blood by their captors. The Germans reciprocated by killing some Italian prisoners, as well as a few civilians..
Aftermath
Operation Herring lasted over 72 hours instead of the 36 initially foreseen, but it turned out to be a success. With some help on the part of the local partisan groups, according to some sources 481 German soldiers were killed, 1,983 surrendered, 44 vehicles were destroyed and many captured including some tanks, armored cars and guns, 77 telephone lines severed, three bridges taken intact, an ammunition storage site blown up. The price the Italians paid for the success was 31 dead (including a British paratrooper sergeant) and 10-12 wounded. An Italian lieutenant and a private were posthumously awarded the Gold Medal for Valor.

SPONSORED: How to be health-wise this Easter
April 14, 2019, 10:00 am Updated: April 15, 2019, 10:06 am
With three decades of experience, pharmacist Margaret McGee is perfectly placed to offer advice to callers on NHS 24's out-of-hours service – and is gearing up for one of the busiest times of the year.
Along with the festive season, the Easter holiday weekend is a time when the number of calls coming into this vital helpline escalates as GP surgeries and local pharmacies change their opening hours.
Fortunately, NHS 24 is more than ready for the demand, and has experts like Margaret on hand at the end of the phone to assist patients. Margaret is the service's Regional Pharmacist for the west of Scotland and works out of the organisation's headquarters in Cardonald on Glasgow's south side.
She explained: "NHS 24 pharmacists are part of the team in NHS 24 111 service. We can give the same self-care advice, triage patients and help with minor ailments like coughs, colds and diarrhoea that a community pharmacist can.
"At NHS 24 we take calls from people from all walks of life, and many of these calls are from people who are on medication but have perhaps taken an extra dose or missed one, so they call NHS 24 for advice.
"Others call as they may be experiencing side effects of the medication and they are worried about it. Often at the end of the call, after discussion, we allay any fears they may have.
"Because the general public are not trained in clinical matters, they do worry about medication. Often people think twice about phoning us in case we are too busy, especially older people. But we want to say that NHS 24 is here to help and advise you. We are the right people to call about such questions."
Margaret is NHS 24's Regional Pharmacist for the west of Scotland
Each enquiry goes through a system to assess who best can meet the needs of the caller after a call handler has captured initial details. For example, NHS 24 calls can be transferred to a pharmacist, nurse or dental nurse.
Margaret, who heads up the pharmacy support line is full of praise for NHS 24's call handlers, some of whom are retired police officers, and she recognises that they are highly skilled individuals who are very experienced and engaging with patients.
As well as taking calls, Margaret also offers support to her nursing colleagues from a pharmacist's point of view, something she particularly enjoys doing.
NHS 24 is busiest when GP practices are closed and typically there is a surge in calls over public holidays. But while the reasons for calling will vary, one thing remains a constant, and that is how each call is dealt with.
Margaret says: "Every single call we receive is taken with dignity and respect, you will be treated with the best possible care.
"Although we cannot see the patient, we can sometimes tell by their tone of voice how they may be feeling. I once spoke to a lady who called NHS 24 as she was needing advice about her medication, but when I spoke to her and asked how she was feeling, it became clear to me that she needed the input of my nursing colleagues and I was able to arrange that for her there and then."
It's no surprise that Margaret has become a pharmacist, as she is the third generation of her family to work in this industry – her grandfather and father were pharmacists, as are her brothers.
This year Margaret celebrates 30 years since she qualified. In this time she has gained experience working in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as stints at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow, John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, and the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank.
Now, three years into her role at NHS 24, the pharmacist has gained her prescribing qualification and is working with the team to see how prescribing can enable care for people.
Margaret added: "NHS 24 is an amazing place to work. There is a great buzz about the place – I absolutely love my job."

Pharmacist's guide on how to be prepared for any Easter emergencies
If you have a question regarding medicines over the Easter period, here is Margaret's advice:
"Your local pharmacist is a great place to start if you have questions about medicines or how to manage common symptoms like colds, sore throats and tummy upset. If you run out of your usual prescribed medicine you can go to any community pharmacy and explain what has happened. Take proof that you are on a particular medication, for example, your repeat prescription or the empty packet, as this makes sure the pharmacist knows exactly what medicine you are looking for.
"In most cases pharmacists will be able to help out with a supply of what you need. If pharmacies are closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday, that's when patients should call us for advice.
"We also have the facility to look up which community pharmacies are open near you. nhsinform.scot is a really good resource available to all anytime and anywhere with useful advice online and self-help guides."
MEDICINE CABINET ESSENTIALS
Pharmacist explains what it in a well-stocked medicine cupboard:
If you receive regular prescriptions, make sure you have enough medication to take you through Easter until your GP surgery opens again.
Stock up on painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen which will help to lower your temperature too if you have a fever. Have supplies in the correct format, e.g. liquid for children.
Stomach settlers
Tummy ailments such as diarrhoea, constipation and indigestion are common so keep a supply of over-the counter medicines to help with those symptoms.
It's always a good idea to keep a basic first aid kit at home to treat minor cuts, bruises and burns. Antiseptic cream or wipes, multi-sized plasters, bandage, gauze and tape should be top of the shopping list.
Kids require different dosages to adults so make sure you have junior versions of essential medicines such as painkillers and cough mixtures to give them if they're unwell.
Often used to treat allergic reactions or conditions such as rashes, antihistamines are a good thing to keep at home to help provide relief from milder symptoms.

There is no substitute for our healthy natural teeth. However there are occasions when teeth are unrestorable and must be extracted. Erupting wisdom teeth are other examples or situations where extractions may be necessary. Third molars, also called wisdom teeth, are the last teeth to surface, usually between ages 17-25. Most people have four wisdom teeth, some don't have any, and in rare cases people have more than four. We will observe your wisdom teeth with x-rays as part of regular examinations. It is estimated that 85% of wisdom teeth will eventually require removal. Wisdom teeth are often impacted – not properly emerged through the gums, instead growing crooked or even completely sideways. Left untreated the impacted teeth can cause a host of problems including crowding or misalignment of the other teeth and jaw, headaches and infections. Even if not impacted, wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean and may require extraction to reduce the risk of decay and infection. The best time to remove wisdom teeth is when the patient is in their late teens-early twenties. Surgeries performed later in life can still be very effective, but healing may be slower, and the risk of complications slightly higher.

Catherine Tyree Rides Bokai to Victory in $50K CSIO5* Suncast® Grand Prix Qualifier at Palm Beach Masters
Catherine Tyree (USA) rode Bokai to the win over a 35-horse field in the $50,000 CSIO5* Suncast® Grand Prix Qualifier, outpacing two of show jumping's superstars in a three-horse jump-off.Todd Minikus (USA) placed second on Chaventyno and four-time Olympic veteran and reigning Longines FEI World Cup™ Final Champions Beezie Madden (USA) and Breitling LS finished third.

"Going first, I knew I had Beezie and Todd behind me, and both are very fast. So, I thought I would give it a good shot. I knew there were only three for the jump-off, and I was guaranteed a top three finish no matter what, so I really wanted to use that to my advantage and gain experience going fast at this level. I'm finally getting comfortable at that," said Tyree. "I was really happy with my horse and how everything played out. He was really great in the jump-off. He fought for me, and I really appreciate it when he does that."
Minikus, however, did not appreciate it. He also was clear over the Alan Wade-designed jump-off course but crossed the Longines timers a little too late. He finished the shortened track in 41.74 seconds, just behind Tyree's 40.60.
"He didn't turn very well after the oxer, so I got carried wide at the vertical. That was probably where I couldn't catch Catherine," said Minikus. "These girls look like they're very nice girls, but they're not. They were supposed to play 'old guy wins' this week, but so far they're not doing that."
Madden and Breitling LS had eight faults in the jump-off. However, she was not disappointed with their performance.
"Right now, my plan is to use Breitling in the [CSIO5* Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ USA] on Sunday, so I didn't want to put the pedal to the metal too much. I just wanted to give him a nice round again," said Madden. "I felt his first round was good, but he hasn't showed a lot lately, so I wanted to give him one more lap around and make sure he was confident and paying attention. I was happy with the way my jump-off went, and hopefully it will be a good result on Sunday."
Tyree competed at the Palm Beach Masters Series® two years ago, and she is happy to be back at Deeridge Farms. "The Jacobs family has been involved with the sport for so long, and it's really something special that they plan this as their way to give back to all of us," said Tyree. "They put on a great event, and I feel very lucky that we have it as an option, and every time that I have been here, it's been nothing but great and run very well, so I'm very happy to be here."
Ashlee Bond (ISR) and Donatello won the $10,000 CSIO5* CP Welcome Stake. Photo by Kathy Russell Photography
In the morning, the $10,000 CSIO5* CP Welcome Stake was won by Ashlee Bond (ISR) and Donatello, who finished the speed track in a class-best time of 55.25 seconds. Second went to Colombia's Roberto Teran Tafur riding Dena-Sienne in 56.46 seconds, and third was U.S. Olympic veteran Margie Engle on USA Normande, who finished in 57.15 seconds. Bond went late in the lineup, but she was unaffected by the strategy of the other riders and stuck to her original plan.
"I did not change my strategy," said Bond. "I'm on a young horse; he's just coming eight. I know him very well; I've had him since he was six. I just kind of go out there and do my own plan, and if I win, great, but I just kind of feel that I have to stick to what is comfortable for me. That's what I did and today, and it worked out!"

Field Geology Maps Questions and Answers
What is a topographic map?
A topographic map (also called a "tapa" map) is a field map that represents a scale model of part of the Earth's surface. Using special symbols and lines, it shows the three-dimensional shapes of the surface using two dimensions. Topo maps are used a great deal by geologists in the field, primarily to gather information about features, map certain interesting rock areas, and to generally get around rougher terrain.
What are contour lines on topographic maps?
The most important features on topographic maps are contour lines: the brown lines of differing widths that represent points of equal elevation. These lines symbolize the shape of the Earth's surface, with each line representing the land as if it were sliced by a horizontal plane at a particular elevation above sea level. Thicker contour lines called index contours-usually shown as every fifth contour line-make it easier for the user to determine elevations. Contour lines that are very close together represent steep slopes, while widely spaced contours or no contours at all-represent relatively level ground. The contour lines also represent a distance called the contour interval, or the difference in elevation represented by adjacent contour lines. Each map has a different contour interval listed on the map's legend. For example, a relatively flat area may have a contour interval of 10 feet (3 meters) or less, meaning that the difference between each contour line will be 10 feet (3 meters) up or down in elevation; a mountainous area may have a contour interval of 100 feet (30 meters) or more.
What are some of the major rules for contour lines on a map?
There are several major rules contour lines must follow. In particular, contour lines must not cross (except in the rare case of an overhanging cliff); spacing represents either a very steep slope (lines close together) or wide plains (lines wide apart); a hill is represented by a series of closed contour lines "stacked" on one another like a lopsided bull's eye (depressions are the same, but contain hatch marks within the closed contour lines-or the downhill side); contour lines must never diverge; and when contour lines cross stream or river valleys, they must form Vs that point upstream.
What are bathymetric contours?
Bathymetric contours are similar to regular contours, except they depict the elevations, shape, and slope of marine features offshore (usually the bottom floors of bays, seas, and oceans). These contours are in black or blue, and they are usually written in meters at various intervals, depending on the map scale. They should not be confused with maps that depict depth curves, which usually represent water depths along coast~ lines and inland bodies of water. The contours of these maps are usually show in blue, with the data coming from hydrographic charts and depth soundings.
How do you determine the scale of a topographic map?
A topographic map's scale-no matter which scale is used-represents the horizontal distances on the map (not elevation distances, which are shown by contour lines). Similar to a street or highway map, the scale can vary widely, depending on the map. But the topographic map's scale differs in a major way, by allowing the easy interpretation of each map's distances. Topographic maps are notorious for using different scales, depending on how much detail is desired. Each scale comes with a map ratio. For example, a map with a scale of 1:25,000 means one inch on the map is equal to 25,000 inches on the ground. And because both numbers use the same units, it can also be interpreted as any unit measure. For example, the same map could also be interpreted as 1 centimeter equals 25,000 centimeters on the ground. For those who prefer to measure in miles and kilometers, most topographic maps also offer a graphic scale in the legend.
What is a geologic map?
Surface geologic map of France
A geologic map is actually a form of topographic map, but in this case it shows the type of sediment or rock outcrops exposed at the Earth's surface, along with the contour lines. The information on these maps can range from the rock type and age to the orientation of rock layers and major (and sometimes minor) geologic features. Who uses these maps? Most geologists involved in almost every phase of field geology use geologic maps. For example, petrologists use these maps to determine the location of possible economic resources, such as metal ores, water, or oil. Ceomor· phologists use such maps to detect potential hazards in various areas, such as areas prone to earthquakes, flooding, or landslides. Occasionally, geologic profiles are also provided on these maps to help scientists understand, for example, the rock underlying an area.
How do geologists use strike and dip while in the field?
Strike and dip are not baseball terms; rather, they are used by geologists in the field to determine how rock layers and/or outcrops lean (or don't lean) in certain directions. Both are very useful to geologists as they map rock outcrops and geologic features. Dip is the angle at which a layer or rock is inclined from the horizontal. It is usually measured with a clinometer. This instrument contains a straightedge that is lined up against the dip of the rock; a weight is used to measure the angle. Strike is the opposite-a line that a dipping rock layer makes with the horizontal (one way of visualizing it is to think how a waterline would form if the rock layer dipped into a lake). Geologists often use a compass to measure strike.

HD 194729 Facts
HD 194729's star type is subgiant star that can be located in the constellation of Microscopium. The description is based on the spectral class.
HD 194729 is not part of the constellation outline but is within the borders of the constellation.
Based on the spectral type (G5(IV)) of the star, the star's colour is white to yellow .
The star is calculated at being about 1006.68 light years away from us. Distance
HD 194729's Alternative Names
The Id of the star in the Henry Draper catalogue is HD194729.
More details on objects' alternative names can be found at Star Names .
Location of HD 194729
The location of the subgiant star in the night sky is determined by the Right Ascension (R.A.) and Declination (Dec.), these are equivalent to the Longitude and Latitude on the Earth. The Right Ascension is how far expressed in time (hh:mm:ss) the star is along the celestial equator. If the R.A. is positive then its eastwards. The Declination is how far north or south the object is compared to the celestial equator and is expressed in degrees. For HD 194729, the location is 20h 28m 46.1777 and -40° 52` 19.814 .
Proper Motion of HD 194729
All stars like planets orbit round a central spot, in the case of planets, its the central star such as the Sun. In the case of a star, its the galactic centre. The constellations that we see today will be different than they were 50,000 years ago or 50,000 years from now. Proper Motion details the movements of these stars and are measured in milliarcseconds. The star is moving -9.58 milliarcseconds/year towards the north and 11.22 milliarcseconds/year east if we saw them in the horizon. . When the value is negative then the star and the Sun are getting closer to one another, likewise, a positive number means that two stars are moving away. Its nothing to fear as the stars are so far apart, they won't collide in our life-time, if ever.
Physical Properties (Colour) of HD 194729
HD 194729 Colour and Temperature
HD 194729 has a spectral type of G5(IV). This means the star is a white to yellow subgiant star.

Linen /ˈlɪnᵻn/ is a textile made from the fibers of the flax plant. Linen is laborious to manufacture, but the fiber is very absorbent and garments made of linen are valued for their exceptional coolness and freshness in hot weather.
Many products are made of linen: aprons, bags, towels (swimming, bath, beach, body and wash towels), napkins, bed linens, tablecloths, runners, chair covers, and men's and women's wear.
The collective term "linens" is still often used generically to describe a class of woven or knitted bed, bath, table and kitchen textiles traditionally made of linen. In the past, "linens" also referred to lightweight undergarments such as shirts, chemises, waist-shirts, lingerie (a word also cognate with linen), and detachable shirt collars and cuffs, all of which were historically made almost exclusively out of linen. The inner layer of fine composite cloth garments (as for example jackets) was traditionally made of linen, hence the word lining.
Linen and spanking[edit]
Linen can be the material of choice for vintage style underwear such as open drawers, or sleepwear such as nightshirts and nightgowns, which spankophiles can use in erotic roleplay.
Rope made out of linen can be used for bondage.

Mark Eugene Russinovich (Salamanca, 22 de diciembre de 1966) es un ingeniero de software estadounidense nacido en España que ejerce como CTO de Microsoft Azure. Fue cofundador de los productores de software Winternals antes de que fueran adquiridos por Microsoft en 2006.
Primeros años y educación
Russinovich nació en Salamanca, España, y se crio en Birmingham, Alabama, Estados Unidos, hasta los 15 años, cuando se trasladó con su familia a Pittsburgh, Pensilvania. Su padre era radiólogo y su madre era administradora de la consulta de radiología de su padre en Pittsburgh. Russinovich es de origen croata.
Se introdujo en el mundo de los ordenadores cuando el padre de un amigo suyo se hizo con un Apple II en la década de 1970. Fue capaz de aplicar ingeniería inversa a su ROM y escribir programas para él. A los 15 años, se compró su primer ordenador, un Texas Instruments TI99/4A. Unos seis meses más tarde, sus padres le compraron un Apple II+ en el instituto de su localidad, cuando éste actualizó los laboratorios de informática a Apple IIes. También escribió artículos en revistas sobre el Apple II.
En 1989, Russinovich se licenció en ingeniería informática en la Universidad Carnegie Mellon, donde fue miembro del capítulo Pi Kappa Alpha Beta Sigma. Al año siguiente obtuvo un máster en ingeniería informática en el Instituto Politécnico Rensselaer. Más tarde regresó a Carnegie Mellon, donde se doctoró en ingeniería informática en 1994 con una tesis titulada Gestión de fallos transparente para aplicaciones bajo la supervisión de Zary Segall.
Obras
En 1996, Russinovich descubrió que la alteración de dos valores en el Registro de Windows en la edición de Estación de trabajo de Windows NT 4.0 cambiaría la instalación para que fuera reconocida como un servidor de Windows NT y permitiría la instalación de los productos de Microsoft BackOffice que sólo tenían licencia para la edición de servidor. Los valores de la clave del registro estaban vigilados por un hilo de trabajo para detectar la manipulación, y más tarde se publicó un programa llamado NT Tune para terminar el hilo de trabajo y cambiar los valores.
Russinovich escribió LiveKD, una utilidad incluida en el libro Inside Windows 2000. A partir de 2017, la utilidad está disponible para su descarga.
En 2005, Russinovich descubrió el rootkit de Sony en los productos DRM de Sony. Está función impedía que los usuarios copiaran sus discos.
En enero de 2006, Russinovich descubrió un rootkit en Norton SystemWorks de Symantec. Symantec eliminó inmediatamente el rootkit. También analizó la vulnerabilidad de Windows Metafile y concluyó que no se trataba de una puerta trasera deliberada. Esta posibilidad había sido planteada -aunque de forma tentativa- por Steve Gibson tras una investigación superficial de la naturaleza del exploit y su mecanismo.
Las novelas de Russinovich Zero Day (prologada por Howard Schmidt) y Trojan Horse (prologada por Kevin Mitnick) fueron publicadas por Thomas Dunne Books el 15 de marzo de 2011 y el 4 de septiembre de 2012. Ambos forman parte de una serie de populares tecno-thrillers, que han suscitado los elogios de personalidades del sector como Mikko Hyppönen y Daniel Suárez. Un relato corto, "Operation Desolation: ", se publicó justo antes de Trojan Horse y tiene lugar un año después de los acontecimientos de Zero Day. Book 3, Rogue Code: A Novel (Jeff Aiken Series, mayo de 2014) trata de las vulnerabilidades de la NSA. Cuenta con un prólogo de Haim Bodek, autor de The Problem of HFT: Collected Writings on High Frequency Trading & Stock Market Structure Reform.
Windows Sysinternals
El sitio web de Sysinternals fue creado en 1996 por Mark Russinovich para albergar sus utilidades de sistema avanzadas e información técnica.

The multinational giant IBM, one of the leading companies in the field of smart cities, along with the Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU) have announced the opening of a Smarter Cities Development and Education Center in Moscow, the first of its kind in Russia.
The center is located on the university's Moscow campus and it will be home to a unique educational program giving students the chance to explore and apply IBM's latest technologies and solutions to improve the management of urban infrastructure and support the development of smarter cities.
This move is in accordance with the Russian government's priorities for the modernization and technological development of urban centers across the country. The new center is expected to support the development of IT skills crucial to Russia's innovation agenda. At the same time, it is a significant milestone for IBM in the Russian market, and proof for the maturity and general applicability of the company's Smarter Cities program, which is already producing impressive results in other areas of the world such as Ireland and Mexico. IBM is pursuing an ongoing global project to help students and city leaders develop expertise and apply innovative technologies to create smart solutions to tackle issues that have high social and economic impact for cities around the world.

Olympic Pool Update (Day 6, Feb 20)
I thought that this game was going to be much closer than it was. The Americans and Slovaks got off to a pretty tight start, no score after the 1st period, but once the Americans got on the board, they didn't really look back. A 2-man disadvantage, which included a 5-minute major and game misconduct to Michal Cajkovsky, already down 1-0, didn't help the Slovaks too much and the Americans cruised to a 5-1 win and to a date with the Czechs tonight.
James Wisniewski scored on the 2-man advantage to make the game 2-0, eventually getting credit for the winning goal and also chipped in with an assist for the 4-point effort in this one, thanks to the medal round bonus point. Troy Terry had 3 assists and Ryan Donato had a couple of goals, guiding the way for the Americans.
The match-up between Slovenia and Norway was a tightly contested affair, as one would have expected. Norway coming away with the 2-1 overtime win, earning their way to a date with the Russians tonight. The Norwegian keeper, Lars Haugen, managed to keep his team afloat, making 33 saves for the victory, turning away a Slovenian team that was hit hard by a doping incident, found earlier in the day.
There were two players in the hockey pool in this one, Jan Mursak and Patrick Thoresen, each coming away with an assist, but Thoresen moves on in the tournament.
The Finns didn't have too much trouble with the Korean hosts, dispatching them, 5-2, in one of the two late games. Yes, the Finns gave up a pair of goals, bringing the Korean total up to three goals in the tourney, but we'll quickly look past it.
Eeli Tolvanen had 3 assists in this one and Miro Heiskanen scored the winner, so both players walked out of this game with 3 points a piece.
This game sets up a big quarterfinal match-up between Canada and Finland, which will be one of the early morning games on Wednesday.
Finally, in the other late game, the Swiss were upset by the Germans, 2-1 in overtime, making for a couple of semi-upsets in this qualification round, if you count the Norway win as a slight upset as well. All six players were playing in the pool, but none were able to register a point. Those six players are now three moving forward, as the Germans will get the Swedes in the quarterfinals, which will be a very tall task indeed.

Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) is a software package used for simulating nuclear processes. Lines of code are entered into the program with information on the source and environment. The program can be used to determine shielding effectiveness, calculate dose, and visually depict dose fields. NPO utilizes MCNP to evaluate shielding materials and placement, supplement experimental shielding data, and engineer effect shielding solutions.
Use of MCNP for the simulation of a Dry Cask.
In the case of shielding a Dry Cask, the packaging, the transfer container and the working platform are modeled in a 3D environment. Added to a combination of the Watt fission spectrum and a gamma profile to simulate the spent spent fuel.
Thanks to this modeling, the shielding can be optimized; to be increased where it is most needed, diminished and / or eliminated, where it is not.

Franklin Ethridge was searching for a little outdoor exercise. The rigors of running Rome's leading wholesale house at James and Front streets had become so wearying that his doctor suggested he seek healthful recreation.
About this same time, Ackley Tuller, now retired from his successful grocery store, was beginning to play golf in a pasture he owned along Turin Street. The 43-year old Ethridge, once a varsity baseball player at Yale, and some others began to join Tuller in this peculiar new pastime. The grass was often too high and the bulls not always friendly but the game, as it was wont to do, steadily worked its way into the blood. It was decided that a golf course should be formed in the city of Rome.
The meeting that would result in Teugega Country Club convened on a Friday evening in February 1899 at the Arlington Hotel. Ethridge invited 125 Romans, including many of Rome's most prominent citizens. There was William R. Huntington, president of the First National Bank, Theodore J. Mowry, founder and publisher of The Harness Gazette, Edward Comstock, son of Rome's first mayor and a Division Commander under General Tecumseh S. Sherman in the Civil War. Also president was Rome Electric Company founder Herbert T. Dyett, whose great-grandfather, Judge Joshua Hathaway, had turned the first shovelful of dirt for the Erie Canal alongside Governor DeWitt Clinton on July 4, 1817. Perhaps most distinguished of all was 75-year old Dr. Willey L. Kingsley, then in his second term as Rome's mayor. Dr. Kingsley was one of New York's most respected men, a physician in Rome for over 50 years and a pioneer in the treatment of malignant growths.
It was the first time golf had been dreamed of in Rome; two years earlier an effort to organize a club was unsuccessful. Ethridge was able to pull it together and he became known as "the father of golf in Rome.
At a second meeting the organizing and management skills of these men quickly became apparent. Officers were elected, with Ethridge, the driving force behind the club, named President. Development committees were formed on Organization, Constitution and By-Laws, Grounds and Membership. Each of the 19 founders in attendance left the Arlington Hotel with a specific job to do. The Constitution and By-Laws were adopted at a meeting November 1899 and a site selected for the course.
Attorney Eugene Rowland, A Phi Beta Kappa and Salutatorian at Madison College (later Colgate University), nominated the name "Te-uge-ga", referenced in the 1851 Annals of Oneida County as the local Indian's designation for the Mohawk River. The name would standup through several challenges over the years but even survived the uprooting to Lake Delta where it would remain safely ensconced.
In 1900, land along the Mohawk River, today known as Mohawk Acres, was officially leased and on Decoration Day 1900 Teugega Country Club opened for play on their new 9-hole course.
By 1912 there were indications that the original member-designed nine holes were no longer challenging enough for the players. The Greens Committee was instructed to develop additional hazards to make the course sportier and for the first time money was set aside in the budget for sand disbursement: $2.00. By 1916 Teugegans were clearly serious about golf and the Club joined the United State Golf Association.
The course was laid out on some of the worst golfing ground imaginable. Any amount of rain left the low-lying terrain unplayable and the spring thaw typically resulted in a quagmire that kept golfers away until late May. If membership was to increase and Teugega was to grow, a new course would have to be built elsewhere.
The Board of Directors was not going to leave such an important move to chance. Barton Hasleton, Chairman of Rome Brass and Copper Co. had befriended Donald Ross while traveling in North Carolina and invited the famous golf course architect to evaluate his home course in Rome. When Ross came to inspect the Teugega links, he confirmed what many had ruefully come to believe. "Outside of one other course that was built out of a swamp, this is the second worst course in the country," Ross said. His services were soon retained to design a new 18-hole course six miles to the north of Rome at Lake Delta.
Ross worked from topographic maps, drawing up blueprints for his course routings, famous for requiring little walking from one green to the next tee. Although much of the work at Teugega was directed by Cassius Halstead, Teugega charter member and Chairman of the Delta Golf Construction Committee, and Ross' associate Walter Hatch, Ross himself visited Rome on several occasions.
Ross was 47 years old when he came to Rome. The son of a stonemason and nurse in the north Scottish coastal town of Dornoch, he apprenticed under legendary "Old" Tom Morris, creator of many of the storied British seaside links. Ross came to America in 1899 to be the professional of the Oakley Country Club in Watertown, MA. The following year he received a commission to create the courses at the new Pinehurst resort in the North Carolina sandhills. Here he would reside for the better part of fifty years, creating course designs from a cottage nestled behind the third green.
In 1921 a letter was sent notifying members to vacate all lockers prior to June 25. A week later, a formal opening took place over a three-day Independence Day celebration to mark the occasion of the opening of the new Donald Ross 18-hole Teugega course.
Ross was widowed in 1922 by the death of his first wife, Janet Conchie. While a visitor in Rome, Ross stayed at the home of his friend Haselton. Through this association, Ross became acquainted with and began to court Hasleton's secretary, Miss Susan Aldridge. A golfer herself, Miss Aldridge was the first ever women's champion at Teugega in 1921. An engagement was announced but the romance ended tragically when Miss Aldridge was stricken by cancer and died. Ross would later play a round at Teugega and reportedly scored his first ever hole-in-one at the 140-yard 7th hole, one of his favorite short holes.
The finished course reflects many of the hallmarks of a Ross-designed course. The basic routing of the holes unfolds in a fan-shape, with the clubhouse at the handle. The 1st tee, 9th green, 10th tee and 18th green all lie within easy pitching distance from the clubhouse. The holes themselves zigzag across the terrain without consecutive fairways racing down the same direction.
Teugega endures today as one of the best remaining legacies to the work of Donald Ross.

Expert says there was time to evacuate Mati
September 13, 2018 CretePost.gr Newsroom
A study presented on Wednesday on eastern Attica's deadly wildfires in July found that the hour and a half between when the blaze started on the slopes of Mount Penteli and when it reached Mati on the coast was ample to order the residents of the seaside town to go down to the seashore in an orderly manner.
The study, which had been commissioned by the head of opposition New Democracy Kyriakos Mitsotakis, was presented in Athens by natural disaster expert Costas Synolakis from the Technical University of Crete.
Using simulation models developed by Japan's Waseda University and the University of Oregon in the United States, Synolakis said that it would have taken less than 90 minutes to evacuate most of the town on foot.
The expert also determined that the authorities had underestimated the force of the initial blaze and the speed at which it was spreading.
This meant that firefighting forces battling a separate blaze in Kineta, west of Athens, were not summoned until it was too late.
The death toll from the fire at Mati, meanwhile, rose to 99 this week after a burn victim died in hospital.

Home Science The Botany of Botany Bay People Captain Arthur Phillip
Captain Arthur Phillip
Captain Arthur Phillip, first Governor of New South Wales
Arthur Phillip (1738-1814) was a British naval officer and colonial administrator. Phillip was appointed Governor of New South Wales, the first European colony on the Australian continent, and was the founder of the city of Sydney.
Captain Phillip and the First Fleet
After the loss of the colonies in North America, the English Government needed a new place to send its convicts. On the advice of Joseph Banks, Botany Bay was chosen as the site for a settlement, and a fleet of 11 ships under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip left England in May 1787. After travelling first to Rio and then Capetown, the fleet sailed eastward, passing around Tasmania in December, and on up the east coast of Australia.
Botany Bay, January 1788
On 18 January 1788 the Supply, scouting ahead of the First Fleet, entered Botany Bay and anchored on the northern side of the Bay, 'that the Ships which were following might not miss the harbour.' By 20 January all 11 ships were in Botany Bay.
Looking for a source of fresh water, Phillip explored the foreshores, including going 6 miles (10 km) up the Cooks River, through country that he found low and boggy, with no appearance of fresh water. Phillip found that the best situation offered [for settlement] was near Point Sutherland where there was a small run of good water but the ground near it was spongy and the ships could not approach this part of the Bay.
He decided to explore Port Jackson to the north, the entrance to which was marked on Cook's chart. In the meantime he ordered Major Ross to have the land cleared on Point Sutherland, in case he did not find a better harbour. Three days were spent clearing before Phillip returned and the fleet re-embarked for the much more suitable Port Jackson.
Surgeon White wrote: Although the spot fixed for the town was the most eligible that could be chosen, yet I think it would never have answered, the ground around it being sandy, poor and swampy, and but very indifferently supplied with water. The fine meadows talked of in Captain Cook's voyage I could never see, though I took some pains to find them out.
There were other denigrators of Cook and Banks' glowing descriptions of the countryside. 'We had passed through the country, which the discoverers of Botany Bay extol as some of the finest meadows in the world. These meadows, instead of grass, are covered with high coarse rushes, growing in a rotten spungy bog, into which we were plunged knee-deep at every step', reported Captain Watkin Tench in December 1790, after his unsuccessful excursion south of the Cooks River near Muddy Creek.
While the location of the good land that Cook and Banks described has remained a mystery ever since, there is no doubt that there were extensive swamps in the lower Cooks Valley.
Were Cook's landscape descriptions naïve?
Cook and Banks both consistently reported that the soils around Botany Bay were in general sandy. Cook's well-quoted descriptions - 'diversified with woods, Lawns and Marshes, and woods are free from under wood' - are likely to have been accurate comments on the appearance of the mosaic of swamp, sedgeland and sclerophyll woodland that would have occurred on the sandy country immediately around Botany Bay. Such areas may have appeared superficially as grassy, particularly if they had been burned several years before. References to a quantity of good grass that grows in tufts could have been sedges or coarse grasses such as Cymbopogon refractus.
Cook's comments appear to be considered and objective, but perhaps there was a touch of landscape romance. After all he was a seaman in a completely new land! Perhaps it was the readers who naively assumed that attractive landscape would be productive landscape.
The poor sandy soils were restricted to the coastal areas of Sydney. Better soils for agriculture were found later by the settlers on the shale soils farther west, at Parramatta, well beyond where Cook was able to go.

Night is falling in Florida at the Orlando International Airport. Back home, it is a quiet Sunday evening. My kids sit quietly; reading or playing video games (the 1st time in 2 weeks he's done that!) My hubby reads on the computer. I am annoyed by the lady beside me, talking so loudly onto her cell phone; telling her kids over and over that she loves them and will see them soon. I breathe; I am ashamed at my annoyance since it's obvious she really misses them while mine sit 2 feet away.
I scribble on a small pad of hotel paper, in between finishing the inspiring pages of "Bird by Bird". Another family nearby is still wound up from the days of excitement in the Magic Kingdom.
Walt was on to something when he created places like this. He didn't do it for the money, I truly believe that. He must have done it for so much more than that.
For the Dreams: The sparkle of life in the tired mom who thought she'd given up on crazy dreams. She is a little girl again. A princess. A fairy. A Pocahontas. In awe as the fireworks flash and crash. Dreaming of possibilities. Dreaming of the stars. That anything, really, REALLY is possible if you dare to dream.
For the Family: The dad that worries about not being good enough. Feeling lost and overwhelmed sometimes. Feeling like he's let everyone down. He is alive again as he splashes and plays and explores new worlds with his children. The children who see him as the hero. Their very own Hercules. He even dares to see it too.
For the Kids: So sucked into the modern life of television, screens and Internet. Seemingly lacking in imagination and day dreams. Now, patient and ecstatic, little Energizer bunnies going mile after mile, entranced and enthralled with the world around them. Thrills and spills as they chance riding rockets to the sky. In the spirit of the moment, exploring Flick's bug world or on Safari across Africa or soaring through the sky. Fully immersed in the day.
Walt was a visionary to see how much we would need places like this. Places to fill up again. To get in touch with ourselves. To see through a child's eyes again – even kids don't know how to do that anymore. We go so fast and forget to be there, in the moment. Walt's World reminds us how quickly life will pass you by if you don't slow down once in awhile and take it all in. Daring to dream, daring to be a hero or daring to have a little fun and get lost in the moment.
I begin again, with a renewed spirit, paying closer attention to the Colors of the Wind. Thank you Walt. Thank you my family for making this the best vacation ever!
I love this. You are such a great mom; my version of Disney is much more…vinegary?…than yours. Love that you caught the spirit of it.
ps: Bird by Bird rocks.
Shawna, when we were in Disneyland my souvenir for myself was two books about Walt Disney! He was indeed an inspired mind!
And the parks? Disneyland came to life because he went to take his daughters to an amusement park, and was disgusted at the garbage and the condition of the place, and why you would have to pay for each individual ride… he wondered why there wasn't a place that was clean, and had entertainment for the whole family, and could challenge children to learn and dream and experience life to its fullest — all for one price at one gate.
People told him it wouldn't work. They thought he was nuts.
….when we hear those words, we know we are on the right track. We know we are thinking like Walt.

Q: Problems after remove network-manager I've decided to test wicd in my notebook, so I uninstall network-manger. Now, Ubuntu doesn't open the configuration window anymore, even after I re-installed network-manager.
A: Installing NetworkManager just installs the application in the background. Not the indicator. And it doesn't RUN either of them. Also, NetworkManager creates configuration files on-the-fly.
So, you need to make sure ...
*) NetworkManager is installed (apt-get install)
*) the indicator applet is installed (apt-get install)
*) NetworkManager is being started (systemctl start NetworkMananger)
*) check if it runs without errors (systemctl status NetworkMananger)
*) if yes, NetworkManager is being started upon reboot (systemctl enable NetworkMananger)
*) the indicator applet is being started (for example in your startup apps for your GUI ... depending on your GUI, check your control center)
And given all that happend, and another network application has not been in the way of NetworkMananger, you might or might not find basic settings in your list. For example for your wired connection.
BTW, just to have said it, in the applet you might find two setting like enable network and enable WIFI or similar label (I have it in a different language, so I don't know the exact english labels). With those disabled you won't get WIFI connections either.
If you don't have configuration files at this point, you can either create it by hand. Or another option is, given your driver and adapter are working, you should now have a list of available networks in your applet. Click on the wireless network you want to connect with will ask your for the password and create a basic configuration file, which afterwards you can edit.
And referring to WICD, if you are trying to go back to simpler days and make it simple and lightweight, you can also skip WICD and go directly to wpa supplicant and dhcpcd. Because that is what's really needed to connect. Everything else is just a helper ;)
Connecting would look approx like this:
ip link
(find out the label of your network adapter, example: wlan0)
ip link set dev wlan0 up
(activate the adapter)
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c <(wpa_passphrase "WIFI Name - SSID" "Password") &
(connect to your WIFI)
dhcpcd wlan0 &
(get a dynamic IP from your modem/router)
Of course you would have to make sure your nameserver is set correctly in your /etc/resolv.conf.
And to disconnect you just:
ip link set dev wlan0 down

The UK is to receive its new world-class nuclear submarines on time after the country's government announced additional funds for defense.
Specifically, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) will benefit from an extra GBP 800 million in the next financial year, the Chancellor and Defence Secretary have confirmed.
This includes access to GBP 600 million from the Dreadnought contingency, announced in 2015, and will ensure that new submarines are delivered on time and within the GBP 31 billion budget agreed at the Strategic Defence and Security Review in 2015.
In addition, GBP 200 million was agreed at the Supplementary Estimates earlier in the year.
A Royal Navy submarine has always been on patrol, providing the continuous at sea deterrent for almost 50 years. And the next generation of submarines will ensure this can continue into the future, deterring conflict and protecting the nation, a statement issued by Treasury and MOD reads.
As explained, the money funds a key government priority that has been the bedrock of defence policy for nearly 50 years.
"Our commitment to defence and national security is unwavering. The UK's defence budget is the highest in Europe and the second highest in NATO and ensures Britain can continue to respond effectively to the ever-changing threats we face," Philip Hammond, Chancellor of the Exchequer, said.
"We will continue to invest in our world-class Armed Forces and this additional investment of GBP 600 million will ensure the UK is protected by the nuclear deterrent provided by the new Dreadnought fleet into the 2030s and beyond," Hammond added.

Clinical Crusaders heading for Lions' den
Chiefs Damian McKenzie loses the ball as he is tackled by Crusaders Scott Barrett during their Super Rugby semi-final. Mark Baker
RUGBY UNION: Brilliant Crusaders defence and clinical offence has delivered the Christchurch-based side a place in next week's Super Rugby final where they will take on the Lions.
Despite being forced to defend for much of their semi-final and with barely one-third of possession, the Crusaders seized on every chance to beat the Chiefs 27-13 in Christchurch on Saturday.
Crusaders Bryn Hall dives across the line to score a try against the Chiefs during their Super Rugby semi in Christchurch. Mark Baker
Wing Seta Tamanivalu bagged two tries while halfback Bryn Hall and Test stalwart Israel Dagg also touched down.
The Crusaders were impressive, holding the territorially dominant Chiefs outfit to a single try - a late consolation to lock Brodie Retallick.
The Crusaders will now board a plane to make the 11,500km to Johannesburg for next weekend's final against the Lions.
Lions players celebrate a try during their Super Rugby semi-final win over the Hurricanes in Johannesburg. KIM LUDBROOK
The South African heavyweights sealed their place in the decider with a 44-29 win over defending champions the Hurricanes in Johannesburg.
The Wellington-based side looked comfortable as the ran out to a 22-3 lead but with half-time approaching, the Hurricanes conceded a try to Lions prop Jacques van Rooyen. That triggered the beginning of the end for the visitors who slowly fell apart in the second half.
Ross Cronje and Malcolm Marx bagged quick tries for the Lions before a yellow card to Hurricanes fly-half Beauden Barrett for failing to roll away from a ruck opened the floodgates.
The Lions, who finished first on the overall Super Rugby ladder despite avoiding Kiwi opposition all season, ran in three more tries to close out the match.

"Holy Hopes #4" Our study of 1 Peter has shown us the apostle Peter's call to serious faith: a faith in Christ so serious that it includes an element of fear along with an element of joy. This morning, we see that there is also a strong call upon the followers of Christ to love one another. In fact, it's not overstating the case to say that we've been brought into relationship to Christ for that very purpose.

Home / WHAT TO SEE /Town Hall
In the center of Cividale del Friuli, in front of the Cathedral and in the square of the same name, stands the Palazzo Comunale.
There is news of a municipal house existing here as early as 1296, which was then remodeled in the fifteenth century and rebuilt from 1545 to 1588. It was very different from what we see today.
The upper floor was accessed by an external staircase, from which it was customary to ban the notices or read sentences of condemnation. The Palace underwent several alterations when in 1936 the external staircase was demolished in the radical transformation.
It is open at the bottom with an ogival portico. The windows on the first floor, on the façade towards Largo Boiani, are single and double lancet windows. Here, too, is a baroque frame, the bust of Domenico Mocenigo, Provveditore Veneto who proved to be very capable during the plague of 1682.
On the façade facing the Duomo there is a bas-relief with the Lion of St. Mark with an epigraph dating back to 1560, and, below, a plaque commemorating the visit of Emperor Franz I of Austria in 1816. The adjoining modern part of the Town Hall It was built in 1966-70.
In the beams of the loggia, restored in 1958, the coats of arms of the noble families of Cividale are painted. On the wall there are instead two tombstones dedicated to Giuseppe Garibaldi and Vittorio Emanuele II, with an effigy in a medallion in low relief.
In the inner courtyard, (entered under the loggia at the time of the municipal offices), there are the remains of a Roman house of the I-II century, which was brought to light in 1938. Of this Roman house, to this day, are seven environments have been identified. The most visible one has a mosaic floor with black and white tesserae, very well preserved.
Inside the Town Hall, in the council hall there are impressive portraits of Provveditori Veneti and in two rooms there are frescoes by Francesco Chiarottini from Cividale. In another wall, a mosaic depicts a battle scene of the Longobards by the Udinese Gianni Borta (1971).
In memory of the founder of the city Caio Giulio Cesare, in front of the main façade, in 1935 a bronze statue was placed, a copy of a marble from the Trajan era, located in Campidoglio in Rome.

Your loved one has become ill, and only the healing treasure from the hidden temple can heal them! Venture down 13 levels of procedural generated challenges to find it. Be warned, your heart belongs to the gods if you lose!
also if i pushed the arrow keys too fast or held them it would freeze the ability to make an input for a few seconds so i'd have to wait before i could move again.
I got down to around floor 8, and one of those circle chests is in the area, but it spawned right in front of the corridor i need to go through to get to the stairs to the next level so I can't complete the floor.
It's so cool how much personality you captured with 1-bit sprites, both in design and animation. Also pattern based combat works really well, especially with many enemies having tells as to when they will attack. After 1-2 floors I felt bad for the axolotls, spiders and snakes 'cause they were just dancing so I stopped attacking them... The entrance floor was a nice touch teaching you how to open the next level too. Some of the later levels were abit large, they took awhile to travel around though. Also 1 tiny bug, I jumped on a spike and got hurt, then passed turns by moving at a wall, but the spikes didn't deal damage when they popped up while I was standing in place.

Dandruff refers to the dry, white flakes or scales of dead skin usually found on the scalp (they may appear brown or yellow in some people).
Although not as common as scalp dandruff, it is possible for one to have these scaly patches of dandruff beard, face, side of the nose, ears, eyebrow, between eyebrows and any other part of the body, especially places where the body produces much sebum.
It can affect women, men, and children. Do not be surprised, to find eyebrow dandruff on your newborn baby. They too can develop them.
Dandruff can be itchy and the white flakes can cause embarrassment, which can result in low self-esteem.Therefore those dry white flakes of skin you brush off your shoulders or collar is harmless but it can only be embarrassing.
Dandruff really is not about your hair or how often you wash it. Instead it is about the skin on your scalp. However it is believed to involve a number of genetic and environmental factors which include being stressed or sick, cold, dry winters can trigger dandruff or make it worse too.
Well the surprised part of dandruff is that it does not only appear on the scalp as most people know it to be, instead it also occurs on the face or body parts too. The main cause of dandruff on the face is fungal, known as malassezia , which out breaks ,when a person does not take proper care of his or her face or body parts.
Besides the causes we have seen, one condition that can cause dandruff-like scales is blepharitis. According to American Optometric Association, "blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids in which they become red, irritated and itchy and dandruff-like scales form on the eyelashes." It is caused by bacteria, skin conditions such as acne rosacea or blepharitis seborrheic, eyelash mites (Demodex) or allergies.
Dandruff on its own cannot cause eyebrow loss. However, there is a connection between eyebrow dandruff and hair loss since most of the causes of dandruff under eyebrows can also cause brow hair loss.
It is a fact that anyone can have dandruff on eyebrows. Unlike scalp one, which can be hidden with a cap, having them on your brows is nothing you can hide. They sometimes end up in your eyes causing irritation."Dandruff isn't contagious or harmful, but it can be unpleasant and difficult to get rid of." No need for alarm.
Therefore, how to treat or how to stop them? Sadly, you cannot treat dandruff but just manage it.
YOUR BRA, YOUR BREASTS, YOUR HEALTH, ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.

Florida sheriff's deputy accused of soliciting 9-year-old girl
The deputy is facing charges from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office and the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Author: Chelsea Tatham
Published: 11:28 AM EDT June 20, 2019
OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. — A sheriff's deputy has been fired after two sheriff's offices accused him of soliciting a 9-year-old girl.
The Okaloosa County Sheriffs Office charged Cansas Sadler Jr., 41, with using a computer to solicit a child while misrepresenting age and using a two-way communications device to facilitate a felony.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office is charging Sadler with multiple counts of transmission of material harmful to a minor by an electronic device.
Salder joined the Okaloosa sheriff's office in July 2018 after retiring from the U.S. Army. The sheriff's office said he was still on a new-hire probationary status.
The sheriff's office said investigators from Polk County kicked off the investigation on June 11 after a mother reported she had found inappropriate content on her 9-year-old daughter's phone.
An arrest report said Sadler communicated with the child through an online game called "The Wolf" and pretended to be an 11-year-old named Jade.
In the arrest report, deputies said conversations between Sadler and the 9-year-old involved "sex, performing oral sex and having a threesome."
The arrest report also said Sadler, as his Jade persona, asked the victim if she wanted to have sex with a 31-year-old man. According to law enforcement, during the conversations, "the adult male identified as Jason solicited (the victim) for a sexual encounter and sent (her) a picture of" his genitals.
The sheriff's office said the communication was traced to a computer IP address at a home in Okaloosa County, and investigators ultimately determined the computer belonged to Sadler.
"I'm always disheartened when someone sworn to serve and protect commits any crime, much less crimes of this nature," Okaloosa County Sheriff Larry Ashley said. "It's an affront to all the hard-working, dedicated law enforcement officers who work tirelessly each day to keep our citizens safe. I want to thank our investigators and their counterparts from the Polk County Sheriff's Office. As Okaloosa County Sheriff, I greatly appreciate their teamwork and professionalism in working to develop the evidence, arrest, and hold the suspect accountable."
Members of the Fort Walton Beach and Crestview Police Departments also assisted the investigation along with Homeland Security investigators.

Cambridge Science Festival and volunteering at the Museum of Zoology.
April 10, 2020 April 9, 2020 by Foxglove and Bee
Last month I travelled down to Cambridge to volunteer at the Museum of Zoology. Let me tell you, it is a fantastic place to visit, whether it is with your family or alone, you won't regret it. It is full of fabulous specimens and fantastic information for you to soak up! Plus it is free to get in!
I would like to mention that my visit was before the current UK Corona Virus lockdown strategy, and we were all following the advice that was to hand at that point in time.
And so without further ado, here is my experience of a combination of volunteering at the museum and exploring Cambridge. Enjoy!
Monday 9th March.
After spending 3 and a half hours on various trains I finally arrived in Cambridge. Not only is Cambridge a very pretty and prestigious city, but throughout March (6th-22nd to be precise) they were (at the time of arrival) hosting the Cambridge Science Festival. According to their website; 'The Science Festival provides the public with opportunities to explore and discuss issues of scientific interest and concern and to raise aspirations by encouraging young people to consider a career in science, technology, engineering or mathematics.'
The best thing is that the most of the events were free. So, if you were in the area, it was filled with lots of fabulous events to pop down and have a look at all the amazing aspects of science that surround us or be inspired to study it yourself!
University of Cambridge Museum of Zoology and David Attenborough Building.
Tuesday 10th March.
I woke up feeling excited to start at the Museum of Zoology that morning. I felt as if I had put in place good foundations for securing further study or experience for a new career. In short, things were looking up, the first time in a long time. So, because I wanted to make a good impression, I decided to wear my new shoes – BIG MISTAKE! 40 minutes of walking took its toll quite severely on my poor feet. So instead of looking like the eager young professional I had hoped, sadly I arrived hobbling and very flushed!
Luckily, everyone I met was so lovely and welcoming. And after a diet coke and a raspberry and almond slice, I regained my dignity (I hope!). After my induction, I was shown around the museum, which reopened in 2018 after a 5 year renovation, funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund. It is very modern and bright; everything is clearly labelled and it flows through evolutionary time (something which zoologists/biologists or earth scientists would probably recognise). They have a fantastic range of specimens and it is very illuminating, you will definitely learn something new from your visit here.
After a lovely lunch with an old school friend, I headed back to the museum to have a look around myself from a visitor's perspective. It felt so good to be back and involved in a subject that I really love. To be surrounded by people who are so inspiring and at the top of their game was empowering. We all knew what the study of Zoology entailed, and understood that Zoologists do not solely go on to work in zoos. Something which is understandable, and many do, but it can be incredibly trying when you have to explain to people what you studied.
Lepidoptera Specimens in the museum.
Wednesday 11th March.
I managed to get the bus into the centre of town (my feet were still feeling sorry for themselves). Today I was doing a morning shift as a 'Visitor Engagement Volunteer.' It was generally quite quiet, but a school group was in the museum and it was so lovely to see all the kids so excited and learning all about the natural world, and natural selection as a result of the expeditions of Alfred Russell Wallace and Charles Darwin. Their eagerness and chatter filled the halls; a poignant reminder that all of the work we are doing is to help conserve many of the species for their generation. I did have a quiet thought of hope to myself that their generation would be able to see extant (currently living) species from the museum, thriving in protected ecosystems and habitats, and our efforts in conservation will ensure that these animals will survive.
After my shift finished, I headed into town and got myself some lunch and then set off to visit some shops and explore the renowned architecture of the city. I repeat that I have never been to Cambridge before and this was soon made obvious as I got hopelessly lost in the beautiful winding allies and streets. However, I soon met up with another old school friend and went for tea at Pizza Express. I then dashed back to the Department of Zoology to direct people and attend an evening event as part of the Cambridge Science Festival.
The event was called: 'Beyond 2020: what next for global biodiversity?' and was hosted by a panel of experts in conservation; led by the CEO of Birdlife International Patricia Zurita. The aim of this discussion was to debate the current issues surrounding global conservation efforts, evaluating what needs to change, whether the next generation of conservationists will think differently and what has been put into practise since the 2011 Aichi Targets.
The Aichi Targets were devised at the 2011 Convention on Biological Diversity and include 20 targets divided into 5 strategic Goals to be achieved by 2020. I will leave the link to the Aichi Targets here.
It was mentioned, that of the 20 targets, only 4 have progressed; the most successful of includes creating and extending Protected Areas. It was also mentioned how important the control of Invasive Alien Species is on conserving Global biodiversity.
Shockingly, 7% of the world's oceans are free of human activity and 1/3 of land is dedicated to crops and ¾ of land is dedicated to livestock. This is predominantly due to the increase in the human population and the consequent industrialised nature of farming across the globe. But as with all aspects of nature and ecology, it is an expansive web, and changing one aspect alone will not change the rate of global biodiversity loss. For example, our greed as a species has led to deforestation in favour for monocultures such as Palm Oil and infrastructure scars the landscape, preventing migration of species across their habitat, something which will inevitably lead to inviable populations of species. But to us it is 'just a road'. In addition, our encroachment on the natural world has led to a dramatic increase of Human Wildlife Conflict – an issue which affects millions around the world.
It was concluded that this year, being the start of a brand-new decade, clear decisive targets need to be set up and, most importantly implemented to engage with the general public to show the ambitious nature of these targets, and explain them in an understandable way.
One of the main things I personally learnt from this event was the sheer extent of the economic impacts on biodiversity and vice versa; GDP is highly dependent on nature. One member of the panel, an economist focussing on nature, talked about the benefits to global economy through ecotourism and various ecological services. But what truly astounded me were the facts and figures. At the World Economic Forum; 5 of the top 10 global risks (terrorism, pandemics etc) established were in fact environmental and a shocking 2/3 of the world's population are negatively impacted by the degradation of nature and 3.2 billion people's livelihoods are impacted by landscape degradation.
Like many aspects of the world today, the conservation sector needs to be more inclusive and diverse. A wider range of people need to be educated, engaged, encouraged, included and rewarded. It is necessary to work alongside the vital work of those fighting to improve equal Human Rights, Race, Education and Gender Equality and an understanding of indigenous peoples and move away from the western concept of conservation – of colonising land and acknowledge previous and existent injustices linked to conservation.
Naively, I had never considered that there was a dark side to conservation, perhaps apart from the lack of action – we need scientific research to understand the issue and combat it, but we then need to put it into action, rather than just reporting the demise of biodiversity.
And get this – this just about sums up our previous and (hopefully not) our current mindset on the state of the planet. Less than 0.05% of global GDP is spent on nature and I can't remember the exact context of this next statistic, whether it is national or global, but we spend more GDP on Ice Cream than on Nature and Biodiversity.

I had a late start at the museum so I headed into town and had a look around the Fitzwilliam Museum. It is such an amazing museum. It is filled to the brim of various artefacts, from superb works of art, to porcelain, to glassware, to ancient archaeology. Definitely worth a visit if you ever find yourself in the area.
Main Entrance Hall of the Fitzwilliam Museum.
I arrived back at the Museum of Zoology in the late afternoon, to get crafty! The museum was hosting a creative event for children to think of all sorts of imaginative ways they would change Cambridge to be more environmentally friendly.
Because of the outbreak of COVID-19, we were unsure how busy we would be. But lo and behold, soon there were many families, all getting creative; thinking of inspirational, fantastical and brilliant ways to make Cambridge a more environmentally friendly place in the future – all from recycled materials to be put on display on the mezzanine in the museum over the weekend.
Now I have not done arty crafty things for many years, and it brought so much pleasure. It was very relaxing and it was so good to see all the kids and their families, really thinking hard coming up with some fantastic ideas, from vertical farming to non-polluting planes and plenty of birdboxes and forms of green energy. It was such a pleasure to see so many young kids, really think about the effects our actions have on the planet, and ways we can stop it. A real glimmer of hope, I think.
Friday 13th March.
Once again, I volunteered for a visitor engagement volunteer morning shift. The Museum of Zoology itself was quite quiet, so when I was not engaging with members of the public, I conducted some visitor surveys and then also went around some of the skeletons we have on the lower floor to make sure that their condition was as it should be and nothing had been damaged etc. This is essential work as some visitors can be over eager and start touching the exhibits.
Once my shift was over, I once again, met up with my friend and we went for an explore around some of University colleges and gardens and a lovely cup of tea and chelsea bun at Fitzbillies.
Saturday 14th March.
My last day volunteering at the museum (for now) finally arrived. When I arrived, I was greeted with the sad news that all remaining events of the Cambridge Science Festival had been cancelled due to Corona Virus.
However many people came to visit us. We had families of all ages, individuals, couples, even a wedding party (2 Zoologists had just got married and the first place they visited was the museum!). Although we couldn't do all of the tasks the museum had planned, some of them could be modified to fall in line with government advice. We had animal riddles which had to be solved to find a specimen in the museum, with the tantalising prize of a sticker!
We also set other challenges, should they have been accepted, to find various specimens such as the tooth of the biggest shark in the museum etc. Stickers were clearly like gold dust. The determination to discover, learn and win the prize of a sticker was obvious!
So that's it, after having dinner with my friend, my time in Cambridge had come to an end. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The museum was fantastic, the city was beautiful, and the people I met and worked with were so lovely and friendly, I felt like I had been a volunteer for a long time! I will definitely be going back once I am able to. Not to mention the pup Sir Percy, who was very entertaining and has now become a great four-legged friend!
Sir Percy
I was back on the train and it was only then that whispers of Corona virus were becoming more and more serious. Sure enough, a week after my return home, the UK entered lockdown.
Although the museum, along with others, is closed – for now, keep an eye on their social media for more information, tours and activities to do whilst at home!
In these uncertain times, I just want to remind you that this will end. We will all be able to meet with our friends and loved ones in the summer sun. Until then, I hope you are all ok. Let me know what you are doing to keep occupied during lockdown. Stay safe.

Crews clean up trash dumped in Reading's…

Crews clean up trash dumped in Reading's Riverfront Park

A Reading Public Works Department crew works Wednesday to clean up trash, furniture and other debris that was dumped in Riverfront Park.
By Dan Kelly |
City crews made quick work of a half-ton pile of trash, furniture and other refuse dumped illegally in the city's Riverfront Park.
Mayor Wally Scott, who has asked city officials to come up with a new solid waste management plan, said it was unclear when the stuff was dumped, but that it had probably happened over the weekend or on Monday.
City officials were alerted to the dumping, which included household trash, mattresses and other furniture, on Tuesday.
Scott said Ralph Johnson, city public works director, told him that crews had been committed to clean up the Norfolk Southern railroad right of way on Tuesday and Wednesday and the workers probably wouldn't be able to get to pile until Thursday.
Johnson said the crews worked fast and were helped by community service workers and cleared the railroad property ahead of schedule. They then tackled the Riverfront Park mess on Wednesday morning, he said.
"This is why we're urging municipal trash collection: because we wouldn't have these incidents of illegal dumping if everybody had a municipal trash collector," Scott said.
Under the administration's proposal, city residents would no longer be able to hire individual private haulers to collect their trash curbside. It would be done by a municipal hauler hired by the city, with costs shared by city taxpayers.
The plan would include deep discounts for seniors, the disabled and others who generate very little trash, Scott said.
"If we could do it for free for seniors we would," he said.
Scott said picking up illegally dumped trash costs the city an estimated $200,000 to $300,000 annually.

Before the Bills game became the James Conner show, the Steelers game planned to play Benny Snell Jr., other RBs more
Updated: Dec. 17, 2019, 10:18 a.m. |

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Buffalo Bills, Dec 15, 2019
Jacob Klinger | jklinger@pennlive.com
PITTSBURGH — The Steelers arrived at Heinz Field with a solidified game plan of truly playing the Buffalo Bills with a running back by-committee approach.
Each back had their own packages, as they usually do. And none of this was reshuffled in the immediate leadup to the game, either, Benny Snell Jr. said.
"The game plan was we were gonna run the ball and we were gonna use everybody," he said. "But I guess it was different when it was game time, you know?"
James Conner, making his first appearance since Week 11, got 8 of 14 running back carries, compiling 42 yards. He played on 34 of the team's 59 offense snaps, as opposed to 17 for Samuels, 6 for Kerrith Whyte and 2 for Snell. The backups each ran the ball twice: Whyte for 5 yards, Snell for 1 and Samuels for negative-1 yard.
Conner didn't get subbed in to other players' packages, Snell said. The Steeler just hardly used ones that weren't Conner's.
Snell emphasized that he's young and doesn't mind waiting for reps behind Conner.
But Pittsburgh's coaches changed something. And it didn't work.
"Really I be on edge because I play bit of special teams so I'm not just thinking about that. You know I'm a team guy and as long as the team's winning and seeing success then I'm happy. I'm good," Snell said. "But, you know, I'm a rookie. That's another thing too, I'm a rookie, so I don't really see it as like 'Yo, what's going on.'
"I just am like 'You know, it's whatever.' Time will tell."

I had a banana protein muffin recipe to try. One simple recipe. And since we had three large bananas turning black in the fridge, I was quite happy to turn them into healthy, low-cal muffins. But the muffin recipe only required half of one banana. So what was I to do but make chocolate chip banana cake with the rest of them?
Banana cake in the house – not a bad thing, you say? You must not know me. If I have one reasonably sized piece and stop, I feel totally deprived. Fish-out-of-water deprived. Writer-without-a-keyboard deprived! So I go back for a second piece. And a third. And several hours later, it's calling to me again. My guys have a piece each, one takes a piece in his lunch the next day, and by the time they come home, the last half of the pan is gone!
The problem is that, bananas or not, it's not healthy at all. Scrumptious, but not healthy. And definitely not for someone trying to lose a few pounds.
I've modified the recipe: applesauce for half the shortening; whole wheat white flour for half the all-purpose white. And the biggest sacrifice, ¾ of a cup of mini chocolate chips instead of a whole cup of regular. Once I tried using Craisins instead of chocolate chips, but it just wasn't the same. Must. Have. Chocolate.
So there's the banana cake, sitting on the counter. I cut it into 18 pieces instead of 15. And then I run it through the recipe calculator on SparkPeople.com. 291 calories for one piece! How am I supposed to fit that into a diet where a really really really good day finishes not too far over 1500 calories?
Day One: I have one piece. One. I cut it in half and pretend it's two, and that helps. And late that night, even watching the Food Network, I don't have another one. I think about it, say meh (youngest son's favorite answer to anything), and put it out of my mind. Call me Conqueror of the Banana Cake.
Day Two: I do not have a piece for breakfast, even though it's one of the best tasting breakfasts there is. Even better than the ice cream or pizza breakfasts of my younger days. I have half a piece for lunch. And I don't have any the rest of the day. Which might have something to do with the fresh pineapple and grapes I have in the fridge, but SCORE!
Day Three: There's still a lot left. The guys have been eating grapes and pineapple too. They're gone all day. I'm home all day. I have a piece for lunch. I have another piece as I'm cooking dinner. And a half a piece late at night. Sigh. I haven't devoured all of it, but I am no longer the conqueror.
Last Day: I bag three pieces for the guys' lunches because that way I won't get into them. I keep the foil sealed tightly around the pan so I can't smell it. I eat a proper breakfast and leave for the day. When I get home, there's a half a piece left. One small, half piece.
I eat it with glee, with GLEE! After all, when you add it all up, I only ate a quarter of the pan, not my usual half. Right?
What food have you conquered lately? Or what food has conquered you? Enquiring minds want to know!

Good for you, Jennifer! You have a lot more willpower than I would if I had a banana cake staring me in the face every day for four days.
What do I do? I really worry about it. Much as I love things like banana cake, banana bread, Texas sheet cake and the like, the fact of the matter is, I rarely make them. In fact, I think the last time I baked a cake was probably close to a year ago. So when I do, I have what I want without guilt. I try to be healthy in other ways though. I drink water almost exclusively, so I don't have to worry about calories from sodas or juice.
Hi, Kristy! I think my family "suffers" because I don't bake like I used to. But I'm trying to do it a little more, a piece for each of us, another piece for each of them (set aside for the next day), and give the rest to someone else! It's worked once or twice, just not this time.
Hi, Coleen. I haven't gone as far as making "just one," but I have found another route – see my comment to Kristy above. I guess if I want something just for me, I'll go buy a single piece of cheesecake or something. But I don't think that would work for a pecan pancake!
BTW, I love your pictures! Anybody else reading this, click on Coleen's link to "Nature Selfies…" It's awesome.
I have a solution for you – don't buy bananas any more! See how simple that was?
But it sounds delicious. Applesauce is a good substitute. Whole wheat sounds healthy. Mini chocolate chips? Yeah that'll never work.
Such a simple solution, Patricia! The other one, of course, is to eat all the bananas before they get too ripe.
I like your Invisible Crown title – going to check it out now. Thanks for stopping by.
Here's the thing. Next time, you might try organic flour. It's a great feeling when we can make things without supporting Monsanto.
Have you tried Carob chips? They're a great substitute and less sugar. You can also try using honey, which really tastes good with the bananas.
But, what we put in our mouths each day is a struggle. Not always is it about weight. It can be about our health and just trying to feel better from a physical standpoint.

A man's body was found floating in the waters off Alamitos Bay in Long Beach on Thursday, authorities said.
The body was spotted just before noon near a jetty between Alamitos Bay and the mouth of the San Gabriel River, said Long Beach Fire Department spokesman Jake Heflin.
A Seal Beach lifeguard found the body within minutes and pronounced the man dead, Heflin said.
Long Beach police were called to investigate.
"Officers are currently waiting for the coroner to arrive to do a preliminary assessment to determine if foul play is involved," said police spokeswoman Shaunna Dandoy.

Q: Using remove on a list inside a for each loop inside a while loop I have an assignment where I'm to create a race simulator. I have 8 objects stored in a list. I need to see when one of the objects crosses the finish line and remove them from the list and put them in another list. For this, I'm using a for each loop. I need to perform this check each time one takes a step so, therefore, the foreachloop is inside a while loop. When everyone has crossed the finish line the while loop shall stop and end the race.
while (lista.size()>0) {
for (RaceTurtle raceTurtle : lista) {
raceTurtle.raceStep();
if(raceTurtle.getX() > RaceWindow.X_END_POS) {
lista.remove(raceTurtle);
winners.add(raceTurtle);
}
w.delay(10);
}
}
I have tried to use an iterator but it only throws me the same error. I have also tried to use a copy of the original list but that don't seem to work since it's inside a while loop.
Would apreciate if someone could give me an example of how this is to be done.
Tried again with iterator and this time it worked.
while (lista.size()>0) {
for (Iterator<RaceTurtle> iterator = lista.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
RaceTurtle temp = iterator.next();
temp.raceStep();
if (temp.getX()> RaceWindow.X_END_POS) {
winners.add(temp);
iterator.remove();
}
}
w.delay(50);
}
A: If you are getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException or something similar to that, consider breaking the while loop inside the for loop if the list is empty. For example:
outer: // label the loop
while (lista.size()>0) {
for (RaceTurtle raceTurtle : lista) {
raceTurtle.raceStep();
if(raceTurtle.getX() > RaceWindow.X_END_POS) {
lista.remove(raceTurtle);
winners.add(raceTurtle);
}
if (lista.size()>0) {
break outer; // end the outer loop, preventing
// the possible iteration of nothing
}
w.delay(10);
}
}

Develop PSR-7 middleware applications in minutes!
DI Containers, via PSR-11 Container. Middleware matched via routing is retrieved from the composed container.
We provide two ways to install Expressive, both using Composer: via our skeleton project and installer, or manually.
The simplest way to install and get started is using the skeleton project, which includes installer scripts for choosing a router, dependency injection container, and optionally a template renderer and/or error handler. The skeleton also provides configuration for officially supported dependencies.
This will prompt you through choosing your dependencies, and then create and install the project in the <project dir> (omitting the <project dir> will create and install in a zend-expressive-skeleton/ directory).
Additionally, you may optionally want to install a template renderer implementation, and/or an error handling integration. These are covered in the documentation.

PlayStation Vue for Apple TV
PlayStation Vue Settings
The PlayStation Vue Settings screen offers a few features to manage your experience. Users can switch profiles from the Settings screen, however, you are prompted to pick a profile when starting the app. The help feature provides brief information on using the service. The user guide provides a concise manual for using the service, with some unfortunate omissions, such as how to use the DVR feature. The Legal screen presents the privacy policy and user agreement. Users can also sign out of PlayStation Vue from the Settings screen.
How to Use PlayStation Vue's DVR Feature
PlayStation Vue's easy-to-use DVR is one of its best features. You can record any program by clicking on the "+" button on the top of its detail screen. If it's a live show, simply swipe down on the Touch screen to view the info screen, and click on the "+" button.
This adds the show to the My Shows list on the Home screen.
From there, click on any show you've added to display past episodes. Recorded episodes display the DVR icon on the top right of the show's card. If the show's episodes are available on demand, "ON DEMAND" is displayed on the top right.
There's no way to record individual episodes. PlayStation Vue's DVR feature records all episodes. It's not a problem because the shows aren't stored on your Apple TV. The DVR uses cloud technology, so PlayStation Vue takes up very little space on your Apple TV. This also allows you to watch your recorded shows on your iPhone, iPad or computer. Unfortunately, programs are not recorded in HD — at least the ones I recorded. I was somewhat disappointed to watch recorded episodes of The Walking Dead in below-SD quality. The picture was grainy with a jerky frame rate. I'm not sure if this is a legal requirement or if they do this to minimize the impact on their data center operations.
Recorded episodes are available for 28 days. You can fast forward and skip commercials on most recorded shows, however, this capability is disabled for some programs.
How to Add a Favorite Channel
PlayStation Vue offers a few ways to add a favorite channel. The easiest method is to swipe down on the Touch surface while any channel is playing. This displays the Info panel. Swipe over to the channel icon on the right and click on it.
You will see the channel's More Info screen. Simply click on the heart icon to add it to favorites.
You can also add a channel from the guide. Launch the guide and click on a program. If the program is live, use the previous steps to add it as a favorite. If not, you will see the program's detail screen. Click on the channel icon on the top right and then click the heart icon. This same technique can be used throughout the PlayStation Vue app.
Favorite channels are displayed on the Home screen. To remove a channel from favorites, simply select the channel and click on the heart icon again.
How to Watch On Demand
PlayStation Vue offers a vast collection of on demand content. If you forgot to add your favorite show to My Shows, you may be able to watch episodes on demand. Simply click on a show's card to view the detail screen. You will see cards representing each episode of a show. Cards with ON DEMAND on the top right can be played immediately by clicking on them.
Fast forwarding is disabled on some on demand programs in order to prevent viewers from skipping ads. (continue…)

Chicago canine influenza epidemic traced to Asian strain
By Paulina Firozi, Meredith Rodriguez and Alejandra Cancino
Personnel at Chicago Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center take precautions when treating canine patients for dog flu. (Nancy Stone, Chicago Tribune) (Chicago Tribune)
Hunter, a fox red Labrador retriever, spent 10 days at a North Side boarding facility earlier this month while Alicia Fitzgerald was on vacation.
When Fitzgerald returned to pick up her pet Sunday, she was told Hunter had been coughing.
By Tuesday afternoon, the 2-year-old Lab was diagnosed with the canine influenza virus, becoming one of about 1,300 dogs in the Chicago area stricken in an epidemic officials blame in part on a viral strain never before seen in the United States.
The H3N2 viral strain being found in many cases is more typically found in dogs in China, South Korea and other parts of Asia. It is highly contagious and can be passed to cats. The strain is mainly circulating in the Chicago area, veterinary researchers at Cornell University said.
"How it got there, I can't tell you," said Dr. Amy Glaser, a senior research associate with New York state's veterinary lab at Cornell. "This caught us a little by surprise, and we didn't expect to find this virus in the United States. It was discovered through a labor-intensive process that we don't normally use."
Officials said there is likely more than one strain behind the epidemic, which has shut down boarding facilities and doggy day cares, thinned crowds at dog parks and forced veterinarians and pet hospitals to adjust how they handle animals.
Six dogs have died of complications related to canine flu this year, officials with the Cook County Department of Animal and Rabies Control said.
Fitzgerald said Hunter exhibited clear symptoms of illness before she brought him to the veterinarian.
"On Monday he coughed, he sneezed, he was lethargic and didn't want to eat," Fitzgerald said from an exam room at Animal Ark Veterinary Clinic in the Northwest Side Avondale neighborhood. "On Tuesday, he was still acting the same way. I'm trying to make him feel comfortable, let him lay around on the couch. I try to pet him and give him attention."
Hunter's symptoms are typical of the illness, and what stricken dogs are experiencing doesn't sound too different from what people with the flu endure. Dogs with canine flu experience runny noses, they cough, sneeze and are generally weak. Some resist eating and may seem depressed.
The illness is treatable but is highly contagious, and it can develop into pneumonia and be fatal in dogs with compromised or weak immune systems.
Like humans, dogs can get vaccinated for the most common version of canine flu. But because the strain striking Chicago-area dogs is rooted in Asia, there is no specific vaccine available for it here, officials said. And experts don't know if the current vaccine will even help protect dogs from becoming sick.
"Having this different strain means there might be less immunity and more susceptibility for that virus," Glaser said.
Veterinarians are urging pet owners to be careful about allowing their dogs to have nose-to-nose contact with other dogs. And if a dog is diagnosed with the flu, pet owners should keep them as isolated as possible for at least 10 days after the symptoms disappear.
"Either strain of the virus is contracted in the same way," said Dr. Donna Alexander, the county's animal control administrator, who collects information from veterinarians about illnesses and outbreaks. "We emphasize: Do not let your animals be social with other animals."
Veterinarians first began noticing an outbreak of coughing dogs in February. Initially some thought it was an outbreak of kennel cough, and issued warnings on their websites and blogs.
Then it was discovered that dozens of dogs actually had canine flu.
When researchers at Cornell traced the outbreak to the Asian strain that was new to this country, it explained why the outbreak became an epidemic so quickly. Their findings were confirmed by veterinary researchers at the University of Wisconsin.
"It just shows the mobility of animals," Alexander said. "Animals are just as mobile as people these days. It is not unusual for us to see different diseases that manifest in one part of the world come to the United States."
Alexander continues to recommend that pet owners have their dogs vaccinated, even if the new strain isn't covered. Dr. Keith Poulsen, a researcher and clinical assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin's School of Veterinary Medicine, said getting the vaccine can't hurt.
"We just don't want owners to become frustrated if they can't get the vaccine," he said. "The commercially available influenza vaccine isn't aimed at this current strain of the virus."
At Montrose Dog Beach on Tuesday afternoon, about a dozen dogs ran around, kicking up sand and playing with their owners.
Tyler Mowbray, who usually brings his dog, Ferris, to the beach at lunchtime, said the crowd in recent days has been smaller than usual. And the topic of discussion among owners has been this epidemic.
"I've been a little apprehensive. I've brought him a little less," he said of his 11/2-year-old boxer. "I used to bring him every day and now, maybe just twice a week."
A small sign was posted on the entrance gate to the dog area, warning owners about the spreading canine virus and indicating they are entering the play area at their own risk. Terry Caesar, who was at the beach with her 3-month-old dachshund-bull terrier mix, was undeterred.
"I think we immunize things too much," she said. "The more you let them not be afraid, the more you build up immunity."
Most people, however, were taking precautions. Chicago doggy day care businesses were shutting their doors to prevent the spread of the virus. Others were only accepting dogs with up-to-date vaccinations and refusing to board new dogs.
The Anti-Cruelty Society canceled its most popular yearly event, Bark in the Park, which was scheduled for May 3, because of the epidemic. Instead it will hold an online iBark in the Park.
"In 14 years doing this, I've never seen anything like it," said Angie Lopez, the owner of Happy Tails & Trails, a dog walking and boarding business that shut down for two weeks and recently reopened.
At the Chicago Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center in Lakeview, a sign at the door notified dog owners that if their pet is coughing, it should be left in a car and a technician would come outside to take information. Dogs that were examined were being kept separated.
Some dogs are required to wear a mask, said Dr. Anne Cohen, a veterinarian who manages the intensive care unit and specializes in emergency care.
"We always take highly contagious diseases very seriously ... we've just kind of made everything even more strict," she said.
At Blum Animal Hospital in Lakeview, there has been a steady stream of sick dogs, said Dr. Julia Georgesen. The hospital has been updating its clients on social media and on Monday added a public service message to its voice mail system about canine virus.
"We were having so many questions," Georgesen said. "The (clients) are very alarmed."
At Animal Ark where Hunter was diagnosed, Dr. Derrick Landini said he had 20 dogs scheduled for care on Tuesday alone. At his clinic, they are working longer hours, in part because employees have to aggressively clean the exam rooms after each appointment.
"We have to assume every dog is infectious," Landini said. "An outbreak is what we had in 2008. It came and it went. What we have now is an epidemic. We don't know when it will go away."

I know that Mezcal is not the latest trend amongst bartenders and cocktail aficionados. I myself also have tasted a fair amount of it so far, but still most of Mezcal cocktails I mixed so far were twists on classic recipes. This is why I thought it was time for my own, new Mezcal cocktail! Since, this is also a recipe for my birthday party it is a highball style drink, too. However, there is one more than surprising ingredient in this recipe and no, I am not talking about salt!
One rumour people who have even heard of Mezcal are familiar with is that Mezcal includes a worm. Which is wrong in more than just one way: First, the insect is not a worm, but the larva of a moth instead and also not all Mezcal includes this "larva". I would even go as far as to say, that high quality Mezcal, does not include any larva or other insects for that matter. One fact that is actually true is that Mezcal is made from agave hearts called Piñas. I already wrote quite a bit on Mezcal after visiting a Mezcal tasting in Munich last autumn, so there you will find all the information on how Mezcal is made. The San Cosme Mezcal has somewhat become bartenders favourite when it comes to this smoke agave distillate. Not only is it quite complex and not overpoweringly smoky, but also it is rather fairly priced. Since I skipped so long on this go to Mezcal I thought I would give it a try in my new highball style drink. The San Cosme Mezcal is distilled from Espadin agave variety in the small town of Santiago Matalán.
As described earlier the San Cosme is a great combination of fruity agave notes and smoke. It is certainly enough to make give it a completely different character than tequila, but not too much to overwhelm you with a ton of umami smokiness. Therefore, you can just substitute the San Cosme in any number of tequila cocktails, classic or otherwise and it will work. This certainly is not the case with every Mezcal out there. However, this also means that when sipping the San Cosme neat, it will lack the last bit of complexity it could have. It is nice on its own and great to introduce people to Mezcal, but I would not pour myself a glass in front of the fireplace… That being said, let us carry on to the cocktail I came up using the San Cosme.
The "Fractured Air" was inspired by a cocktail I found on the Star Chefs' photo gallery called the 1760. I draw a lot of inspiration from the Star Chefs website, especially there pictures are just perfect and make you instantly crave the individual cocktail. In this case, the 1760 basically is a Gin Tonic variation improved with Mezcal, Cocchi Americano, cumin and mint to spice things up. I took Christopher Longoria's drink just as a slight inspiration and left out the gin, cumin and Cocchi Americano and replaced it with a little paprika eau de vie. Yes, you read right paprika eau de vie! By now you should know that I have a thing for eau de vies and not only for the ones made out of fruits. There is also a growing amount of vegetable eau de vies out there who are worth a try! Apart from that, I added a little agave syrup, lime and just a pinch of salt to the mix. The agave syrup is there to balance the drink, while the lime makes it more refreshing and the salt adds a little bit to the complexity of the drink.
sAs I already pointed out in previous articles on eau de vies, the distillates made by Georg Hiebl are as good as eau de vies can get! Naturally, this is also the case with the paprika eau de vie. Even with its quite big price tag it is absolutely worth a try! The paprika taste is noticeable but not pungent and there is also so much more going on! The eau de vie's taste ranges from fresh lemon and mint notes to Mezcal like earthiness with a whole bunch of spices in between.
Before taking the first sip of the drink you will notice an interesting combination of aromas. There are of course notes from the Mezcal, but also mint, lime and some vegetal notes from the paprika eau de vie. With the first sip the Mezcal takes over and shows its powerful smoke and glue flavours, but still the paprika eau de vie is not overpowered. Instead it adds a complex layer of earthy spiciness to the highball. Towards the end of the taste there is a lemon and lime taste and also a hint of bitterness from the tonic water. All of this leads into an almost endless aftertaste, with again a lot of smoke and umami notes. Nevertheless, this is quite different from a Gin & Tonic, which of course is also not surprising giving the very different elements contributing to this compelling drinking experience!

Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims. When unlimited and unrestricted by individual rights, a government is men's deadliest enemy. It is not as protection against private actions, but against governmental actions that the Bill of Rights was written.
What is it that is making people wake up to the dangers of a rights-violating government? Perhaps it's the "glitch"-ridden Obamacare takeover of the healthcare industry, along with the creepy suggestions coming from on high that we discuss Obamacare with our families and friends during holiday gatherings. Or maybe it's the fact that government seems to be trying to control more and more aspects of our lives as the years go on.

Ugh. Thanks, George W. Bush.
Thankfully Stephen Green (VodkaPundit) has done the heavy lifting, researching the legal alternatives we now have to the traditional incandescent bulbs. He says he's as picky about the quality of light as I am and assures his readers that one brand of LED bulbs provides light comparable to my beloved Reveal incandescents. To read which type he recommends, go read his blog post here. The LEDs will apparently save us money on our electric bills, if that's any consolation.
Yeah, they called me a crazy old man a few years back when I started squirreling away normal human light bulbs. I only have four 100-watt bulbs left. I'm saving them for a special occasion. God help us.
CFLs actually work pretty well, with certain very specific exceptions.
That said, the ban was moronic, even by DC standards.
I can't wait for the LED bulbs to hit that price break soon. Walmart's is pushing them, so I expect that within the next 6 months, give or take.
My brother pointed out a story to me on The Blaze about a company that is, at least for now, able to make a version of incandescent bulbs that fit an exception in the new law, for "rough use" bulbs.

Defendant Ames Corporation/Dawson Building Contractors, Inc. (Ames/Dawson), as general contractor, engaged American Roofing, LLC (American Roofing) to perform roofing work at the Veterans Administration Medical Center located in West Palm Beach, Florida. Plaintiff North American Specialty Insurance Company (NAS), as surety, issued performance bonds on behalf of American Roofing, naming Ames/Dawson, as obligee.
In the event of a default, the bonds required Ames/Dawson to declare a default and provide a demand or reasonable notice of such default to NAS. Upon receiving a demand or notice of a default, the bonds granted NAS a right to arrange for the performance of American Roofing's obligations or to remedy any alleged default.
According to Ames/Dawson, it declared American Roofing in default of its subcontract through a series of letters, which thereby triggered NAS' obligations under the bonds. When NAS failed to adequately respond, Ames/Dawson presented a claim to NAS for damages under the bonds for, among other things, supplementing American Roofing's work force.
NAS denied the claim, and sought a declaratory judgment in order to bar Ames/Dawson's bond claims. NAS argued that Ames/Dawson's letters did not declare a default or termination of the subcontract, nor did Ames/Dawson make a demand upon NAS to perform under the bonds. In addition, NAS claimed that Ames/Dawson's unilateral decision to supplement and remediate American Roofing's work without affording it sufficient time to analyze Ames/Dawson's claim or to remedy the alleged default discharged NAS from liability under the bond as a matter of law.
The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida granted NAS partial summary judgment on its claim for a declaratory judgment. Specifically, the court held that none of the letters, upon which Ames/Dawson relied to establish that it declared American Roofing in default, contained the "clear, distinct, and unequivocal" language required to declare a default. The court relied upon a similar case of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which held that letters from a general contractor that did not contain the word "default" or an "unequivocal declaration of default in other terms of correspondence" are insufficient as a matter of law to establish a declaration of default. The court also held that once Ames/Dawson engaged in corrective work without allowing NAS to perform, its conduct constituted a material breach that voided the bonds and absolved NAS of any further obligation.

Home Supply Chain Management articles Trade-offs On the Road to Globalization
Trade-offs On the Road to Globalization
CONTRIBUTION BY Dr. Yossi Sheffi – professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Director of the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL)
The monstrous 8.6-magnitude earthquake off the northeast coast of Japan spawned a tsunami that surged 4 kilometers inland, obliterating towns and farms across a huge swathe of the Japanese countryside.
As I describe in my new book The Power of Resilience: How the Best Companies Manage the Unexpected (MIT Press, October 2105), that earthquake took place in 869 AD and most of the world was completely ignorant of the disaster. Industrial power came from local sources such as horses and water wheels, and production was localized too. Supply chains extended about as far as the communities that they served.
Fast forward to 2011 when the geological shock that caused the 869 AD disaster happened again. It caused a similar quake that sent a tsunami hurtling into the northeast region of Japan, destroying buildings and wreaking widespread devastation.
This time, however, the terrible events also triggered a tsunami of news that rippled across the globe. Pictures of the cataclysm were beamed into households worldwide.
The world of 869
The world of 869 AD had no nuclear reactors, electric power grids, or digital communications. And it was bereft of modern day supply chains that encircle the planet, connecting factories and communities in a complex web of global commerce.
In 869 AD the consequences of the disaster were confined to a relatively small region of Japan. In 2011 the consequences reverberated around the world, sending shock waves through carefully synchronized supply chains. Companies from automakers to digital equipment makers that relied on suppliers in the region were suddenly sent scrambling for alternative sources of product. Financial markets in almost every country felt the commercial convulsions.
That is one of the trade-offs of global connectivity. The globe-spanning supply chains that deliver goods around the world and support word trade also transmit disruptions across the network. Risk is multiplied many times because one serious dislocation can shake the entire edifice.
We see this today with the fallout from China's manufacturing slowdown. This has caused much consternation in the US as companies try to figure out how slower growth in China will impact their businesses. Countries such as Australia that are heavily reliant on sales of commodities are now suffering economically because their biggest customer is buying less.
The trade-offs that come with globalization also extend deep into supply chains, as I describe in The Power of Resilience. For example, as companies have expanded globally and outsourced manufacturing to offshore contractors, they have extended their supply chains geographically. The strategy can lower costs and increase profits, but it can also make it more difficult to keep tabs on suppliers, particularly deep-tier vendors that are buried within a complex bill of material. Firms must weigh the benefits of these longer supply chains against the risk of a sub-tier supplier failure.
Interestingly, while some risk can be mitigated by having redundant supply sources, other risks multiply. Contracting with extra suppliers can mitigate the risk of a supplier failure owing to the ability to source from the alternates. Yet the strategy also increases the risks associated with corporate social responsibility (CSR); it only takes a single supplier to get caught employing sweat labor or polluting the environment for the brand owner to be attacked. Thus, a larger number of suppliers increases the CSR risk. As Colin Davies, senior director of procurement at Pfizer, emphasizes in The Power of Resilience, companies need to establish effective control measures to monitor these supply networks. "If you are dealing with several thousand suppliers in 150 countries and you haven't got those controls in place, then your risk as a business increases enormously," says Davies.
Companies have to find the right balance between the merits of doing business with multiple suppliers in various countries, and the greater likelihood of CSR-related disruptions.
On a global level, the balancing act becomes trickier with every year. The world's GDP grew 30 percent from 2003 to 2013, and global trade increased 55% during that time. The number of middle class consumers doubled to two billion, and companies' supply chains expanded upstream and downstream to serve them.
We have experienced a global financial crisis, various natural disasters, and there are rising concerns over global warming, aging populations, and cyber vulnerabilities.
The good news is that many companies have learned from past events and have created much more effective resources for preventing, detecting, and responding to disruptions.
In 896 AD people lived in isolated communities and had to fend for themselves when disaster struck. Today we are connected to a global community and share such risks as well as the rewards.

Minimal pay was originally put in topographic point to assist destitute people earn a life during post World War II. Ever since it was instituted at that place has been an on-going argument over its effectivity. Many advocates will reason that without it many households will fight to do terminals run into while many oppositions will state that it is damaging to little concerns. President Truman one time quipped that he wanted a one-handed economic expert, since the economic advice he typically received took the unhelpful signifier of " On the one handaˆ¦but on the other manus. " ( Berman ) Whenever money is involved there are certain to be heated treatments. I contend that raising the minimal pay is an out-of-date campaign. Raising the minimal pay really hurts low income households which are the people it is intended to help.
By jurisprudence, provinces are allowed to set up their ain minimal rewards and ordinances. However, anytime the province lower limit pay differs from the federal lower limit pay, the higher rate applies. By 1945 merely a smattering of provinces had passed minimal pay Torahs that applied to both work forces and adult females. The huge bulk merely endorsed minimal pay Torahs that protected adult females and bush leagues. Presently 14 provinces plus the District of Columbia have higher lower limit rewards than the federal lower limit.
Our capitalistic society is based off of the most cardinal rule of economic sciences which is supply and demand. When sing workers, this would intend that when the supply of workers goes up the pay will follow, and if the demand for workers goes down so the pay will travel up. Let 's see this illustration, a secretarial place becomes available and is advertised for hire. If the starting pay was $ 100 per hr, infinite people would desire the occupation, but if the pay were merely $ 1 per hr, really few if anyone would be interested in the place. Now what if the authorities required the employer to pay a lower limit of $ 7 per hr, the employer may non even engage a secretary at all but opt to hold other employees take on the extra responsibilities. Therefore, a occupation would be travel unfilled because of the minimal pay. A 2nd illustration is a eating house that has $ 10,000 in their budget to engage coach individuals. If the starting pay begins at $ 7 per hr, the eating house may merely be able to engage 10 people alternatively of 20. Creating and puting a mandated pay bound interferes with the market forces of supply and demand. Remember that if no lower limit pay existed that companies would still be forced to pay a competitory pay or no 1 would for them or their rivals would steal the most qualified employees by paying them a better pay. Let 's face it, if you were offered 50 cents an hr to be a dish washer would you see making it, would anyone? But in that same circumstance if the pay were raised to $ 6 per hr, they may be able to happen person to make full the place, a high school pupil might be excited for the chance. Highly skilled occupations like comptrollers, attorneies, and applied scientists make more than 7.35 per hr. This is because the market uses factors of supply and demand to assist find the sum of occupations that are available and what each occupation will pay. As the minimal pay additions, the figure of people working lessenings. When the lower limit pay decreases, the figure of people working additions. An of import thing to retrieve is that lower limit pay merely applies if person is working.
Many economic experts feel that the minimal pay is a neglecting system and that we already have something to replace it, Earned Income Tax Credit. " The Earned Income Tax Credit or the EITC is a refundable federal income revenue enhancement recognition for low to chair income working persons and households. " ( IRS ) " Alternatively, we should spread out Earned Income Tax Credits ( EITC ) , which more efficaciously aim the on the job hapless, " says Richard Burkhauser, Cornell Professor. " Workers who have kids but low household incomes, for illustration, have a 34 per centum to 40 per centum revenue enhancement recognition, which basically boosts their minimal pay rate from $ 5.15 to $ 7.21 per hr. And because it 's authorities supported, the labour force does n't lose occupations as it does when the lower limit pay goes up. " ( Lang ) Burkhauser points out that " merely one out of three of the working hapless gained from the federal lower limit pay hiking in 1996. The others were hapless despite holding higher rates because they either earned more than the minimal pay, worked parttime, or had big households. Of the $ 3.39 billion in extra rewards generated by the last minimal pay hiking " , Burkhauser found that merely 17 per centum went to the households of the working hapless. The other 83 per centum chiefly went to back or 3rd earners whose households had income that was frequently good above the poorness line, indicated by the federal authorities to be $ 16,450 a twelvemonth for a household of four.
Minimal pay affects little companies more than larger 1s. Larger companies can endure storms longer than smaller companies and one time the smaller companies go out of concern it affects the rewards of people hired into the larger companies. When you lose competition the reverberations can be felt on many degrees and it frequently is relayed in engaging rewards for new employees. Peoples frequently believe concerns have an eternal supply of hard currency which can easy defy the additions of minimal pay and other cost additions. Unfortunately, that 's non a right premise. Over 90 per centum of concerns will neglect within the first few old ages. Recessions cause 1000s of concerns to travel under. This is really prevailing in eating houses, because they pay rewards at or shut to the minimal pay degree. Therefore they rate highest in failure of any other concern type. Whenever the cost of concern additions, they are pushed closer to the border. For illustration, see a little vicinity food market shop. This food market shop does n't hold the resources or advantages of a Super Wal-Mart. So it is forced to bear down more for its food markets. Although they will hold to bear down more for their food markets they likely make up for this in their client service. Now when the lower limit pay is raised, it besides increases the labour costs for that food market store even more. When this happens it has no other alternate but to raise its monetary values to cover these costs. Finally, monetary values will acquire so high that the consumers will recognize that shopping, although convenient and holding first-class client service, is n't deserving the extra cost. The local food market shop is easy driven out of concern.
When American companies are forced to pay certain hourly rewards, it will increase the likeliness that companies will look elsewhere and get down outsource occupations to foreign markets and workers, where labour is much cheaper. Recently, there has been attending brought on the subject of occupation " outsourcing " , where U.S. companies will outsource or engage foreign workers, which leads to loss of occupations for Americans. Businesss that outsource occupations are making it to cut down costs non because they dislike the American worker. When the monetary value of labour is increased in America, extra inducements for concerns to engage foreign workers are created. The best manner to halt outsourcing of occupations is provide the best conditions and environment for making concern in America. Raising the minimal pay creates an environment that merely makes things more hard for companies to make concern in America.

Home Entertainment Away Season 2: Executive Producer Reveals Storyline! All The Latest Updates
Away Season 2: Executive Producer Reveals Storyline! All The Latest Updates
The fans love to watch space drama, especially when it has an intriguing cast and premise. One such show premiered last year in the form of Away. It became an instant as it explored the first crewed expedition to Mars. The fans binged this show and began to demand Away Season 2. However, Netflix decided not to continue with it. So, is there any chance for this show to return? Here is everything to know.
Away is an American science fiction space drama TV series. Andrew Hinderaker created this show for Netflix. The series stars Hilary Swank and Josh Charles in the leading role. The debut season of Away premiered on September 4, 2020. It had a great run of ten episodes, but that wasn't enough to fulfill the craving of its fans.
Away Season 2: Renewal Status
As we mentioned above, unfortunately, Netflix decided to cancel the further installments only one month after its release. The streaming giant pulled the plug from this show despite its debut season receiving a great response. Netflix used viewership versus cost analysis before renewing any show. A single episode of Away costs $6 million, making it one of the costliest shows. Those special effects VFX costs more than the streaming platform is willing to spend. As a result, they canceled Away Season 2. The fans and the entire cast and crew of this show were upset by this decision of Netflix as they were anticipating its sequel.
Away Season 2: What Could Have Happen Next?
One of the executive producers of this sci-fi drama, Jessica Goldberg, had an interview with Collider. In this chat, she revealed what the makers were planning to show in the sequel. According to her, Away Season 2 would be extraordinary, as they were planning to have an entire season of Mars.
On asking about the plot of the second season, she answered, "We were throwing around the significant questions that anyone who explores Mars asks. Is there life? And if there is life, is it living life, or is it fossilized life? And then, there are the more mysterious places you could go with all of those casts because we were featuring small pieces of their life." She also stated that space and cosmos are the expansion of imagination for her, and it is a shame that she didn't get a chance to explore what discovery is on Mars.
Will The Series Return?
During the same interview, Jessica Goldberg stated that the makers always had a three-season vision for this sci-fi drama. The first season was about the trip, the second one will be about their time on Mars, and in the third one, they will come back to Earth. Goldberg also stated that the third season particularly interested her as it would be the most exciting part of the entire journey. Jessica made clear that the makers wanted to make three installments, but they didn't get a chance. So, if any other network like Disney+ or Hulu comes forward to pick up this big-budgeted show, then the fans might get to see Away Season 2. However, the chances for this to happen are very low.

Having chanced upon a fly poster outside Tesco the other day, my daughter and I made a last-minute dash to The Baby Friendly Show at the Sheffield Park Hotel.
Despite already having two children, I hadn't yet had the opportunity to experience a show dedicated to babies, and had almost no idea of what to expect. At first, DD and I felt a little out of place in the glossy clean hotel entrance - where were the screaming hoardes of toddlers and their flustered parents? A quick word to the receptionist pointed us in the right direction where we found the show began in the entrance to the hotel's event section and a cheery greeting from one of the organizers.
We'd arrived a little late in the day, at around 1pm when the show had been in full swing since 9am. I guessed at this time that we'd probably missed most of the fun planned for the show, though my daughter was still very excited at being able to participate in the treasure hunt which led us from stand to stand in the main exhibition hall.
Despite our late arrival, there we still many families there, most of whom sported prams and babes in arms (or a growing bump like mine!). It was such a pleasant surprise to see many dads there who didn't seem bored to death, making me wish I'd had the foresight to encourage my partner to come along with us!
The Treasure Hunt for the children was a genius idea - we needed to find the fruit or vegetable hidden on each exhibitor's stand, helping me to discover many local services which I may have otherwise overlooked. Being pregnant, I was particularly interested in maternity events and services; though I was a little too shy to join in, I enjoyed watching the Daisy Birthing taster session and was very pleased to find information about financial help available to pregnant workers on the NCT stand!
My favourite part had to be rummaging through the "nearly new" sale where we found loads of wonderful bargains. For £12, I bought a pair of gorgeous smart maternity trousers, two tees, a long white shirt, a dress for DD and a pair of training roller skates, all great quality and decent labels too! If I'd had more cash on me, I would have also bought one of the lovely travel-systems too, though we didn't notice the hotel had a cash machine until we were on the way out!
Next month, the BFG is hosting The Kids Show at the same hotel which we're also looking forward to attending. If you live in or near Sheffield, we look forward to seeing you there!

At the We the People Summit on April 1, 2019, Jamal Watkins, the Vice President of Civic Engagement at the NAACP, invoked Assata Shakur, otherwise known as Joanne Chesimard - a murder and convicted cop-killer, as a leader for change. In attendance at the Summit were eight of the Democratic candidates for president: Senators Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and Kirsten Gillibrand, Governor Jay Inslee, Beto O'Rourke, and Julián Castro. While we do not directly link them to supporting Mr. Watkins' invocation of Chesimard, NAPO wrote to each candidate urging them to condemn Chesimard and everything for which she stands.
Joanne Chesimard is the only woman on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list for her role in the cold-blooded killing of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973. The fact that she is being raised as champion to follow is an affront to the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our communities as law enforcement officers – above all to the family and friends of police officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Our nation's law enforcement community counts on national leaders, as these candidates hope to be, to stand up for and support the men and women who risk their lives every day to ensure our neighborhoods and communities are safe. They cannot do so unless they repudiate everything for which Joanne Chesimard stands. There is no way to delink Chesimard from the role she played in the execution-style killing of State Trooper Foerster or the fact that she is now a wanted fugitive living free in Cuba while no justice has been brought to Trooper Foerster's family for his murder.
The We the People Program is supposed to promote civic competence and responsibility. It is unacceptable to teach students – the future of our country – that violence and killing a law enforcement officer is a responsible way to affect change. These candidates must condemn the invocation of Joanne Chesimard and what she represents.
You can view NAPO's letter to each candidate below.

Q: How to allow controller action in CakePhp 3.x if temporary password in url passes verification? I have set up a forget password scenario where the user submits email address, gets a temporary password sent to them, and the user clicks link to be sent to a user's edit function to change password to something they can remember. I am passing the temp pass in the url.
I debugged what I could and it seems to checkout, but still won't allow a non-logged in user to access the edit method. It seems to only authorize against logged in users (you can see my problem if they forgot their password and thus cannot login).
So how would you allow access to the controller method if the temp pass matches the id param of the url?
isAuthorized function:
public function isAuthorized($user = null)
{
if (isset($user['role']) && $user['role'] === 1 ) {
return true;
}
if ( $this->request->action === 'edit' ) {
$paramId = (int)$this->request->pass;
$logged_out_user = $this->Users->get($paramId);
if ( password_verify($this->request->query('pass'), $logged_out_user->password) === true ) {
return true;
} else {
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl());
}
}
return parent::isAuthorized($user);
}
sample link address: http://localhost/site/users/edit/1?pass=o1eNbs5l7GlHlqvPAmU.
A: I just figured it out. I added the 'edit' action to my beforefilter so that anyone could access it whether logged in or not, then in the edit function I just added the checks, pretty simple really, but for some reason I wasn't able to think of it.
inside edit function:
if ($this->request->session()->read('Auth.User')) {
if ( $user->id === $this->request->session()->read('Auth.User.id') || $this->request->session()->read('Auth.User.role') === 1 ) {
$this->Auth->allow();
} else {
$this->Flash->error(__('You do not have access to that page.'));
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'login']);
}
} elseif ( !empty($this->request->query('pass')) && password_verify($this->request->query('pass'), $user->password) === true ) {
$this->Auth->setUser($user->toArray());
} else {
$this->Flash->error(__('You do not have access to that page.'));
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'login']);
}
if ( !empty($this->request->query('pass')) && password_verify($this->request->query('pass'), $user->password) === true ) {
$user->old_password = $this->request->query('pass');
}
A: I think ideally you would make it two separate actions in the controller, so that you can make your edit page only for actual user editing and your reset password page only for resetting the password.
Then just do (in your controller)...
public function initialize()
{
parent::initialize();
$this->Auth->allow(['reset_password']);
}
This assumes you'd make your controller reset password action like this...
public function reset_password($pass = false) {
if (password_verify($pass)) {
// show password reset form
} else {
$this->redirect(['action' => 'key_required_or_expired']);
}
}

Here in the states, you don't necessarily think of rotisserie chicken and think 'cool'. In my experience, they're something you get from the grocery store when you don't feel like cooking dinner but also don't want to eat fast food. In Peru, however, restaurants focused around the humble rotisserie chicken are the most popular type of restaurant, especially in the capital of Lima. Primos Chicken Lovers Bar elevates the bird, and its fans, to rockstar status, using a cacophony of visual elements to create a brand that is nothing short of awesome.

Romaine Sawyers in profile
After six years away from The Hawthorns, Romaine Sawyers has returned to the Club he started his career and earned his maiden professional deal with.
The 27-year-old, who left B71 aged 21, progressed through Albion's Academy and had loan spells at Port Vale, Shrewsbury Town and Walsall but was unable to break into the first team while contracted to the then-Premier League Baggies.
Sawyers comes home to Albion
Romaine reveals new third kit
Following his release in 2013, Birmingham-born Sawyers decided to stay local and joined one of his former temporary sides - signing for the Saddlers with boss at the time Dean Smith citing huge potential in the versatile midfielder.
More than 150 appearances across all competitions ensued during three years in the third tier at Walsall, where he netted a total of 19 goals and helped them to a Football League Trophy final as well as a third-placed finish in his final season.
That successful challenge saw him named in the 2015/16 League One PFA Team of the Year and after his contract at the Banks's Stadium expired that summer, Romaine earned a move to the Championship with Brentford.
The St Kitts and Nevis international, who captains his country and to date has earned 26 caps, wasn't phased by the step-up and excelled in west London.
He was at the heart of the Bees team for a trio of consecutive campaigns, playing 135 times as they consistently secured top-half finishes.
