Britain's Queen Elizabeth stirred up social media on Wednesday when she opened parliament in a hat looking very much like a European Union flag.
The Queen's speech, written by the Conservative government, covers the two-year period during which Britain will negotiate with Brussels its exit from the European Union (EU), the report said.
The queen said the "Great Repeal Bill" would repeal the European Communities Act, the 1972 legislation that enshrined Britain's membership of the European bloc.
Theresa May will be forced to unveil a slimmed down and "humble" Queen's Speech on Wednesday after failing to secure the support of the Democratic Unionist Party for her government.
Shorn of a majority, Mrs May must wait to discover whether the Lords consider they are obliged to observe the convention that they do not stand in the path of Bills put forward by the Government.
U.S. President Donald Trump's state visit to the United Kingdom may be further in doubt after the Queen made no mention of a planned visit during her Wednesday speech to the British Parliament.
"I am proud of the Scottish Parliament, SNP government and our MPs as we show a unified, competent approach to governing Scotland".
The Queen's Speech sets out the government's legislative plan for the next 12 months ahead - but this year's is different.
And Parliament will also introduce a new bill on immigration.
"The Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London last night, as a precautionary measure, for treatment of an infection arising from a pre-existing condition", the palace said in a statement.
Her ministers had said some parts of the Conservative party manifesto would have to be "pruned" following the election result and numerous proposals were missing from the Queen's speech.
"How on earth can we expect these people to lead Brexit negotiations if they cannot even deliver a programme of government?"
The proposals also included axing the winter fuel allowance for well-off pensioners, expanding grammar schools and ending free school lunches for infants have been dropped.
Chastened by an election result that left her Conservative Party short of a majority in parliament, May watered down many of her pledges.
Trump used Twitter to accuse Khan of being "pathetic", in contrast to May saying that the mayor, a member of the opposition Labour Party, was "doing a good job".
The Lib Dems said their version would call for continued membership of the EU single market and customs union after Brexit.
Those fights included Rafael dos Anjos , Michael Johnson , and the first McGregor fight at UFC 196. "He left them at the altar". Nate Diaz hasn't fought inside the Octagon for almost a year, but it appears he may soon be fighting inside a court room.
Attorneys general have also directly filed suit against Trump's first and second immigration bans , according to a news release. The three-judge panel of the court upheld a lower court decision and said Trump violated USA immigration law with the ban .
Uber has also lost executives from its product, engineering, mapping, communications, business, finance and self-driving units. Craig Ewer, an Uber spokesman, said Kalanick's resignation would have no negative impact on the company's work in Pittsburgh.
Sigma Planning has invested 0.16% of its portfolio in Visa Inc (NYSE:V). 5,228 were reported by Destination Wealth Mngmt. Tracking ROA value which gives an idea as to how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings.
A late header from Hector Moreno salvaged a 2-2 draw for Mexico in their opening FIFA Confederations Cup match against Portugal . Both teams are trailing hosts Russian Federation in Group A, who beat New Zealand 2-0 in the tournament opener on Saturday.
We knew what their abilities were, and that certainly wasn't what we had trained for, and we didn't play to anywhere near our ability.
Warmbier was visiting North Korea as part of a tour group when he was detained at the Pyongyang airport in January 2016. His family said Monday that he first appeared anguished when he first arrived home, but died "at peace".


Mostly I refrain from offering recipes with three parts because that's almost a sure bet turn-off for the modern person. On the other hand, when it's autumn harvest time, and the stolid apple, destined to become winter's glamour-less workhorse fruit, appears newly luscious with a promise of sweet/tart, fresh, soft crunch, even the usually reluctant cook might be enticed to spend some time in the kitchen turning out an apple galette.
The word galette designates numerous incarnations in French pastry making. Galettes can be thick, like a cake, or thin, more crepe-like. They can be sweet or savory, depending on whether there is sugar in the dough and what fills the center. Savory versions include a potato galette made with no crust. Sweet variations include the buckwheat crepes of Brittany and the ritual round cake with a prize ring hidden inside for Epiphany, to today's galette, a simple free-form, usually fruit, tart, such as this one, lightly perfumed with licorice from apple-enhancing fennel seeds. Any apple varietal will do just fine as long as it's sweet/tart and crisp/crunchy.
1. To make the pastry, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse once to mix. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Add the water and mix just until the dough comes together when pressed. Gather into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and press into a smooth, flat disk. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days. Or, freeze for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before rolling out.
2. To make the applesauce filling, put the chopped apples in a saucepan or microwave bowl, add the lemon juice, sugar, and fennel seeds and toss to mix. Cover and cook over medium heat or microwave until soft enough to mash into a chunky puree, about 20 minutes, stirring once.
3. To assemble and bake the galette, preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with butter.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry into a 12-inch or so round. Lift the round onto the baking sheet and spread the applesauce over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around the edge. Arrange the apple slices over the applesauce. Fold up the dough border to partially enfold the slices. Pour the butter all around, including over the dough border. Lightly sprinkle sugar overall and bake until the crust is golden and cooked through and the juices are bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
This sounds really good. I need to make dessert for ten people, and hope that making two galettes and serving them with vanilla ice cream will work. The photo is mouthwatering.
I think the galette, with the addition of the ice cream, could serve 10 tightly. Two galettes, that's if you want to be serving seconds! Most definitely the galette will keep overnight, could stretch to 2 days, at room temp is ok.

It is no secret that pet insurance is fast becoming a somewhat mandatory form of short-term insurance for cat and dog owners alike.
Thanks to the various developments in veterinary care and the improvement in the quality of nutritional products, our furry family members are now able to enjoy longer lifespans, which may be great for our wellbeing and theirs, but not always for our wallets. The cost of owning your little Rover or Tigger has also increased as toys, food, accessories and of course, veterinary care all begin to add up over the years of frolikcing through daisy fields with your furball.
Having a pet healthcare plan can help you to plan for the healthcare of your pet and offset costs for routine care, unexpected injuries and illnesses.
But just how do you choose the right pet insurance provider for you, your budget and most importantly, your pet?
We have put together a list of the TOP 4 pet insurance providers - Medipet, Dotsure, Hollard and Oneplan.
We list who they are, their key benefits, cover plans and prices, as well as their downfalls so that you don't have to spend hours on the web or worse, on the phone trying to fit the role of a personal investigator when it comes to choosing pet healthcare.
At the end of all of this, we come to our verdict on who is the best overall pet insurance provider for your pet.
Being the only insurance broker in South Africa who deals solely in pet insurance, Medipet describes their services as being one of the only insurance providers who can offer you advice and expertise from a team of animal loving staff, delivering in veterinary expertise and the best possible service.
Basically, what Medipet is saying is that they are one of the oldest brands in per insurance (started in 2007) and therefore, the best out there in having gained the most amount of knowledge when it comes to petcare. But, does the oldest really mean you are the best in a world that is so innovatively adapting and changing on a daily basis?
○ The first 2 consist of more comprehensive cover and include some routine care options, boarding fees, accidents and more.
Dotsure stands on the premise that they are a brand that genuinely cares about the things that mean the most to you and believe their key to success is listening to their customers and letting them determine Dotsure's direction. Hence why they vow to never stop innovating and improving their customer experience.
It's a rather generic promise, but we get the point in where they are attempting to live in the mind of their customers. We think.
One of the big boys in pet insurance in having been around for more than 25 years, Hollard covers both cats and dogs in petcare and promises to ease the strain of mounting vet bills on your wallet.
Basically, they promise what everyone else is promising. They don't have a clear difference in the field of pet insurance apart from the fact that they have been providing healthcare for pets for 25 years. That's it.
● This cover option covers you for routine procedures including vaccinations, deworming, flea control, and the procedure portion of dental scaling.
● This option can be added to Plan 100 and Plan 80 but not onto the Accidental Injury Cover only plan.
Oneplan was one of the first providers in pet insurance to hit the market. They establish their positioning on simple pet insurance that delivers in quality, accessibility and adjustability.
What gives Oneplan pet insurance its competitive edge is their easy-to-use app, their adjustable plans, and, we saved the best for last here - their unique Onecard which allows for your claim amount to be made available BEFORE YOU SEE THE VET.
That's right folks, get paid before you see the vet.
● We were going to say that they don't offer health insurance for people too - but, they do!
The competition among pet insurance providers sure is rife out there, with most brands offering you the best advice, cover and cost for your pet, it's a difficult thing to decide on who is the best for not only you, but also your little (or big) furball.
The winner when it came to simplicity when using the website was a close call between Dotsure and Oneplan, but in terms of simple plan explanation and cover details, we have to go with Oneplan.
Looking at cover options and their adjustability, this was a no-brainer, Oneplan.
A number of the insurance providers offered some great cover options, but they either came at a cost or had a list of T&C's of what is not covered. Oneplan seemed to be the only brand that offered more bang for your buck!
Claims! The reason why we want pet insurance is so that we aren't left with quite so little money at the end of our month. The ONLY INSURANCE PROVIDER that didn't have you digging in your own wallet to pay the vet at the time of the appointment, was Oneplan.
This comes with using their unique Onecard, which loads the funds of your claim before you see the vet!
So, with all of this mind it becomes apparent as to who the best pet insurance provider is for you and your pet - Oneplan.
Give us a call today and find out just how we can make your life and your pet's a better one when it comes to health insurance.


The Oldest, Stoutest Form of Hoe.
The eye hoe pattern dates back to ancient Rome and before. It is a common tool throughout Africa, Asia, Europe and both South and Central America. It was once common in North America but was largely supplanted by the lighter, smaller American pattern garden hoe. In Europe, eye hoes are available in dozens of patterns and sizes: square, rectangular, v-shaped, rounded, tapered, cupped and pierced. Here, in the USA, only the rectangular blades are generally available.
Our collection of eye hoes include a narrow (5 1/3"x6") floral hoe; a wider (6"x8") hoe and a large (7 3/4"x8") one. The handle length is 60 inches or 54 inches upon request. The handles, which are turned with straight sides, are easily shortened. However, they don't stretch. So, if you need a longer handle it's a custom turning, which can get pricey, or a trip to the woods to find an appropriate sapling. Eye hoes, a form of draw hoe, are used for scalping and scraping away or uprooting weeds, and for breaking and moving earth. The latter task is accomplished by swinging the tool downward to bury the blade in the earth. Then, lift the handle and pry loose a clod of dirt. Lift the handle in an arc, swinging and stopping suddenly, pitching the clod away. I have seen pictures of hordes of Chinese laborers excavating canals with only eye hoes.
Note: These hoes are not made by Red Pig Garden Tools.


Sardar Sarovar Dam Project; Floor Area Ratio (FAR); What is Floor Space Index (FSI)? Northeast Venture Fund; What is GSTN? Composition scheme; The Representation of The People Act (Amendment) Bill, 2017; Yudh Abhyas 2017; Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS); etc.
The Representation of The People Act (Amendment) Bill, 2017, will be presented in the Winter Session of Parliament this year.
The bill seeks parliamentarians to declare their assets at the end of their tenure.
This bill aims to ensure accountability and transparency.
What the new bill proposes?
The proposed amendment in the parent act will help in maintaining transparency and accountability of people's representatives at the apex level.
It will also help in creating a positive atmosphere of corruption-free status of MPs.
The bill comes in the wake of Supreme Court observations earlier this month on the issue, after it was irked over the non-disclosure of action on jumps in politicians' assets.
The Supreme Court took strong exception to the Centre's attitude of not disclosing information on action taken by it against politicians, some of whose assets had seen a massive jump of up to 500% between two elections, and had directed the government to place the necessary information in this regard before the court.
The government has ordered the review of Floor Space Index (FSI) and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) norms in mega cities of the country.
The time bound review of these norms will be taken up in all the 53 cities with a population of one million and above each.
A similar review for State Capitals with less than million population will also be taken up each in due course.
The review to be taken up in consultation with States and cities is to cover an assessment of the existing norms and to what extent it could be enhanced.
What is Floor Space Index (FSI)?
FSI is the ratio of a building's total floor area to the size of the piece of the land on which it is built.
In Indian cities, it is generally about 1.50, which is said to be on the lower side given the needs of rapid urbanization.
Besides, increasing the availability of land in urban areas is critical to meet the demand for affordable housing under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban).
Review is necessary to give a properly planned push to the urban development in the country.
The Sardar Sarovar Project is one of the largest water resources project of India covering four major states – Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Rajasthan.
The Sardar Sarovar Dam is a gravity dam on the Narmada river near Navagam, Gujarat in India.
The project was vision of India's first deputy Prime Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to arrest excess flow of water from Narmada River into Arabian Sea.
The foundation stone of project was laid out by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on April 5, 1961.
The project was executed by Gujarat government's Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd (SSNL).
It is the largest dam and part of the Narmada Valley Project, a large hydraulic engineering project involving the construction of a series of large irrigation and hydroelectric multi-purpose dams on the Narmada river.
The project took form in 1979 as part of a development scheme to increase irrigation and produce hydroelectricity.
Dam's spillway discharging capacity (30.7 lakhs cusecs) would be third highest in the world.
It is the second biggest concrete gravity dam in the world after the Grand Coulee Dam in the United States.
It will irrigate more than 22,000 hectares of land, mostly from drought prone areas of Kutch and Saurashtra.
About 57% of electricity produced from dam goes to Maharashtra, while Madhya Pradesh gets 27% and Gujarat gets 16%.
In a bid to make Northeast a favourite destination for young Startups, the government has invited young start-ups to avail the benefits of Northeast Venture Fund.
Launched in April 2017, North East Venture Fund was the first dedicated venture capital fund for the North-Eastern region.
North Eastern Development Finance Corporation Limited (NEDFi) in association with Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (M-DoNER) has launched the North-East Venture Fund.
It is focussed to encourage entrepreneurship in the region, primarily by offering support to the first-generation entrepreneurs.
The primary objective of North East Venture Fund (NEVF) would be to invest in enterprises focused on and not limited to Food Processing, Healthcare, Tourism, Aggregation of Services and IT&ITES located in the NER and to provide resources for entrepreneurs from the region to expand throughout the country.
The objective of the Fund is to contribute to the entrepreneurship development of the NER and achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns through long term capital appreciation by way of investments in privately negotiated equity/ equity related investments.
The GST Network (GSTN) has reopened composition scheme window facility for small taxpayers with turnover of up to Rs.75 lakh to opt for composition scheme, which offers easy compliance for business as returns are to be filed only quarterly.
The window will be open for those taxpayers who have migrated from earlier excise, service tax or VAT regime as well as for the newly registered taxpayers.
The GSTN is a private limited company floated to aid the rollout of the new indirect tax regime.
The company will provide information technology support to all stakeholders for smooth implementation of the new taxation regime across the country and will be the repository of all information related to taxation and entities registered under GST.
The majority (51%) shareholding in the firm is with private entities including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and LIC among others. The central government, jointly with state governments and Union Territories, own 49% in the company.
The composition scheme is an alternative method of levy of tax designed for small taxpayers whose turnover is up to Rs 75 lakh — Rs 50 lakh in the case of eight north-eastern states and the hilly state of Himachal Pradesh.
The 13th edition Yudh Abhyas 2017, a joint military training exercise between India and United States was recently held at Joint Base Lewis McChord, Washington, USA.
In this edition of exercise, armies of both countries honed tactical skills in counter-insurgency and counter-terrorist operations (CICT ops) under UN charter.
During two-week exercise, soldiers from both countries will hone their tactical skills in counter terror and counter insurgency operations under a joint brigade headquarter.
Both sides jointly trained, planned and executed series of well-developed tactical drills for neutralization of likely threats that may be encountered in UN peace keeping operations.
Moreover, experts from both sides also held detailed discussions to share their experience and expertise on varied operational topics.
An indigenous artillery gun, Gun System (ATAGS), has set a new world record in range by hitting targets at a distance of 48 km.
It is being jointly developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the private sector.
ATAGS registered the longest ever distance of 48.074 kms, surpassing the maximum ranges of 35-40 kms fired by any artillery gun system in this category.
Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) is fully indigenous towed artillery gun system project.
The project was started by DRDO to replace older guns in service with a modern 155mm artillery gun.
The armament system comprises of barrel, breech mechanism, muzzle brake and recoil mechanism to fire 155 mm calibre.
Capable of night operations in direct fire mode.
It has a longer range, accuracy and precision and provides greater fire power.
The system is configured with all electric drive to ensure maintenance free and reliable operation over a longer period of time.
The system has a firing range of 40 km.
Has high mobility, quick deployability, auxiliary power mode, advanced communication system, automatic command and control system.
Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE), Pune, a nodal laboratory of DRDO is behind the design & development of ATAGS, along with other DRDO laboratories.
DRDO aims to develop the artillery gun system with participation of private industry to meet the requirement of the Indian Army. The idea is to establish indigenous critical defence manufacturing technologies.

Q: OpenCV C# iterate Mat object like C++ I'm trying to follow a tutorial of OpenCV which is written in C++ but I need to write it in C#. This works quite ok so far.
As I'm not a C++ developer and not. familiar with the language I came to a point now where I struggle a bit and where I'm not sure if what I did is the equivalent to the C++ version.
This is the code in C++
vector<Point> pointsOfInterest;
Mat_<uchar>::iterator itMask = mask.begin<uchar>();
Mat_<uchar>::iterator end = mask.end<uchar>();
for( ; itMask!=end; ++itMask)
    if(*itMask==255)
        pointsOfInterest.push_back(itMask.pos());

What I read here is a loop, that iterates over the whole Mat and checks if the value at position is 255 and if so, it adds the point to the end of the pointsOfInterest list.
So I guess this means every x,y pixel in the Mat is checked for the value. My equivalent in C# looks like this:
List<Point> pointsOfInterest = new List<Point>();
for(int x = 0;x<mask.Cols;x++)
{
    for(int y=0;y<mask.Rows; y++)
    {
        if (mask.At<int>(x, y) == 255)
            pointsOfInterest.Add(new Point(x, y));
    }
}

but the result I'm getting is not as expected that's why I wonder if this part is really correct? Sometimes the mask.At throws a NullPointer as well which is strange. I'm also wondering that the C++ just iterates a one dimensional array (I think at least) meanwhile C# would need 2-Dimensions.
Can someone confirm that it is the same or does someone know what is wrong and needs to be adjusted?

A: I have also found out that changing the x and y, for the img.At(y,x) , will solve the exception and you will get the points in your list.

Fulham's Promotion Seasons
Author: Dennis Turner
Fulham have been promoted eight times in 105 years. Here is the first book that details all of those seasons in-depth. With many archive photographs illustrating the book, it is a fantastic look at the glory seasons for FFC.
Since joining the Football League in 1907, Fulham Football Club has enjoyed eight promotion seasons, three from the second tier to the top flight, four from the third to the second and one from the fourth to the third.
Each of these seasons had its own special features, memorable games and key personalities. This book tries to recapture some of that excitement as the individual seasons are put in the context of the club's history.
Each season is discussed as it unwound, the key personalities and turning points identified plus a comprehensive statistical appendix
attached to each chapter.
It is a timely reminder to many supporters who now take Premier League football for granted, that getting to where they are today has been a long, tortuous and occasional painful path.
Dennis Turner is an experienced writer on football and a Fulham director.

Rear-end bicycle accidents happen more often than you would think, especially with more and more people riding their bikes as transportation in big cities. Just like in rear-end car accidents, when a driver is distracted, going to fast or just not paying attention, they can hit a bicyclist in front of them when traffic suddenly comes to a stop. These accidents can cause serious damage, either impacting them directly or throwing them forward over their handle bars in the next car or pavement.
Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC appreciates how startling it can be when a vehicle hits a bicyclist from behind. Our law office has a history representing injured Chicago bicyclists who have been injured in rear-end collisions. Our office will do what it takes to ensure you receive maximum compensation for your injuries. Talk to a bicycle crash lawyer today about your rear-end crash by completing our intake form here and we will review your case for free.
In heavy traffic cities like here in Chicago where there are ample bicycles sharing the roads with motor vehicles, there are bound to be collisions. Unfortunately for bike riders, they are at a physical disadvantage when they are hit by a car, van or truck, with little or no protection. Although there are bike lanes in many cities and over 200 miles of them here in Chicago, to get where a rider needs to go they often still must enter traffic.
Left-hand turns. Left-hand turns are one of the most common precursors to a rear-end bicycle accident. When a cyclist needs to move over into traffic to get in the left lane and turn, they are susceptible to a rear-end accident.
No bike lanes. Many streets still do not have bike lanes, so cyclists are sharing the road with traffic and can easily be rear-ended.
Distracted drivers. Even when riding in a bike lane or on the shoulder of a road, motorists can drift over when distracted and rear-end a cyclist. In November 2012 just outside of Auburn, IL, a 71-year old avid cyclist was rear-ended and killed by a young driver that drifted into the shoulder.
Although almost no rear-end accidents are the fault of the person being hit, in either bicycle or auto accidents, there are ways to avoid these accidents. No one wants to be seriously hurt or even fatally injured while riding their bicycle. When riding in traffic, there is little a cyclist can do to avoid a rear-end crash. Even with mirrors to see the traffic behind a rider, they will have difficulty getting out of the way of a vehicle that is about to hit them.
The best way to avoid a rear-end accident on a bike is to use bike lanes and stay out of traffic whenever possible. For left hand turns, instead of getting over into the left hand lane with traffic, take the slightly longer route. Continue through the intersection in the bike lane, then, turn left and go through the intersection again in the correct direction. It can take a little longer, but it can be safer.
Even with the best defensive riding, not all rear-end bicycle accidents can be avoided. When a cyclist is rear-ended, there is a good chance they will have an injury that will need medical attention, may make them miss work and cause other expenses. Having an experienced Chicago bicycle injury attorney from Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC can ensure that the liable driver and their insurance company cover all the expenses that are caused by the accident.

Il pascolo (dal latino pascuum) è una forma di agricoltura estensiva, in genere consistente in una distesa erbosa generalmente utilizzata nella pastorizia per il nutrimento di animali erbivori, come ovini, caprini, bovini ed equini, spesso riuniti in mandrie e greggi.
Il termine in generale può riferirsi anche all'attività di pascolo in sé, da parte degli animali includendo in questi anche gli animali selvatici erbivori (cervi, caprioli, daini, camosci, stambecchi ecc...) durante i rispettivi momenti di alimentazione nel loro habitat naturale. Sono ambienti tipici della montagna ovvero presenti solitamente in zone non utilizzabili per la coltivazione, spesso ricavati da zone boscose dal lavoro millenario dei pastori. Le specie vegetali maggiormente presenti nei pascoli sono poacee e fabacee.

Descrizione

Zone di pascolo si trovano frequentemente in montagna (altopiani, valli, radure) o al di sopra del limite della vegetazione arborea (pascolo d'alta quota o alpeggio), ma possono trovarsi anche in collina e pianura in zone non coltivate sgombre di vegetazione. Il pascolo in montagna degli animali di allevamento è solitamente utilizzato d'estate, mentre i pascoli a quote altimetriche più basse (collina e pianura) durante le altre stagioni, com'era tipico dell'attività di transumanza.

Spesso in passato le aree boscose sono state soggette a diboscamento da parte dell'uomo, oltre che per approvvigionamento di legname, proprio per far posto allo sfruttamento dell'ambiente a pascolo. Nelle zone montane è frequente anche osservare lo spostamento da parte dell'uomo di materiali lapidei, che grazie al loro accumulo concentrato solo in alcune zone, consente un migliore e più rigoglioso alpeggio. Le zone di pascolo sono spesso segnate da sentieri, mulattiere e tratturi, spesso create proprio dal transito degli animali.

Gli animali tipicamente vengono lasciati liberi di pascolare (stato brado), a volte seguiti e controllati negli spostamenti da pastori tramite anche l'ausilio di cani da pastore contro eventuali minacce esterne (furti o attacchi di animali selvatici quali lupi, orsi, cani inselvatichiti ecc...). A volte il pascolo può avvenire direttamente in zone opportunamente recintate limitrofe a tenute di allevamenti e insediamenti di allevatori o pastori. Spesso inoltre nelle aree di pascolo sono presenti bivacchi, rifugi e stazzi per ricovero di pastori e animali e abbeveratoi.

Tecniche

Esistono numerose tecniche di pascolo anche con modalità significativamente diverse a seconda del specie di animale interessato. Utilizzando il pascolo come pratica aziendale, diventa rilevante la disponibilità delle diverse specie vegetali variabile nell'arco delle stagioni. Vengono quindi messe in atto tecniche di pascolamento differenti e specifiche al fine di evitare periodi di scarsa disponibilità vegetale, che richiederebbero un maggior investimento economico in risorse alimentari da somministrare in stalla.

 Pascolo continuo: gli animali utilizzano l'erba del pascolo in modo continuativo, quindi la vegetazione non ha periodi di crescita indisturbata. Riduce le esigenze di manodopera, ma riduce anche il buon utilizzo del pascolo; la disponibilità quali-quantitativa del foraggio non è costante e ci sono ridotte possibilità di sfalcio.
 Pascolo turnato: gli animali utilizzano la stessa parcella per alcuni giorni e dopo un certo intervallo di tempo (turno) vi ritornano. Richiede la suddivisione del pascolo in parcelle e una valutazione attenta delle superfici e dei turni.
 Pascolo razionato: gli animali utilizzano ogni giorno più parcelle di ridotte dimensioni. Richiede un elevato impiego di manodopera, ma consente correzioni e adeguamenti.

Senza confinamento
 Pascolo libero: gli animali possono muoversi liberamente e senza controllo durante le ore di permanenza al pascolo. È applicabile quando esistono ampie superfici su pascoli magri di montagna.
 Pascolo brado: gli animali permangono per lunghi periodi dell'anno su ampie superfici di pascoli magri e incolti, controllate saltuariamente dai pastori. Si tratta di allevamento destinato di solito alla sola produzione di carne o alla riproduzione.
 Pascolo guidato: il pastore accompagna costantemente il gregge lungo un circuito. Questa tipologia implica forte impegno di tempo, ma può consentire un'elevata ingestione. Il circuito di pascolo è costituito da una sequenza di aree con diversi gradi di appetibilità e disponibilità alimentare, allo scopo di incrementare l'ingestione e di sfruttare anche le zone con essenze più disponibili, ma meno apprezzate.

All'inizio del circuito, con animali molto affamati, si utilizzano zone con alimenti meno graditi, ma abbondanti, in modo da ridurre il forte appetito del gregge; poi ci si sposta su zone con bassa disponibilità ma elevata appetibilità e successivamente su zone con media disponibilità e appetibilità, dove gli animali effettueranno il loro pasto principale. Infine si possono scegliere zone con alta o media appetibilità in modo da concludere il circuito. Questo può essere attuato mediante l'utilizzo di recinzioni mobili e blocchi di sali minerali che stimolano gli animali a passare in determinate zone.

Nonostante durante le ore di buio l'attività di pascolamento si riduce molto, d'estate si predilige effettuare il pascolo notturno, in quanto la temperatura diurna non invoglia gli animali ad alimentarsi.

Nel sud Italia è piuttosto diffusa la pratica del pascolo misto o in successione, in cui specie con esigenze alimentari diverse vengono fatte pascolare sulla stessa area in successione, in modo da sfruttare al meglio la varietà di specie vegetali presenti.

Marriott International Elects David Marriott and Horacio Rozanski to Board of Directors
March 15, 2021, 8:00 AM ·5 min read
BETHESDA, Md., March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott International's (NASDAQ: MAR) Board of Directors announced today it has elected David Marriott, President, U.S. Full Service Managed by Marriott at Marriott International, and Horacio Rozanski, President and Chief Executive Officer at Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., as directors of the company, effective March 15, 2021. Mr. Marriott and Mr. Rozanski will also be included in the company's slate of nominees for election at Marriott's upcoming 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The elections of Mr. Marriott and Mr. Rozanski expand the Board membership to 13, nine of whom are independent. Last May, the company announced that in consultation with its Board of Directors, Mr. J.W. "Bill" Marriott, Jr. – who is currently serving as Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board – plans to transition to the role of Chairman Emeritus in 2022. With Mr. David Marriott joining the Board of Directors and in anticipation of him eventually assuming the position of Chairman of the Board in 2022, he will be formally stepping down from his role as President, U.S. Full Service Managed by Marriott, effective at the end of April.
"We are pleased to welcome David and Horacio to the Board of Directors," said Chairman Bill Marriott. "They both bring decades of experience and a wealth of knowledge in key areas that will be a tremendous resource for the company as we focus on the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic."
David Marriott
David Marriott joined Marriott International in 1999 and has held a number of operational roles during his tenure with the company. As President, U.S. Full Service Managed by Marriott, Mr. Marriott was responsible for oversight of more than 330 hotels operating under 14 brands in 34 states and French Polynesia. In this capacity, he oversaw Hotel Operations, Human Resources, Sales & Marketing, Finance, Market Strategy, Information Resources and Development & Feasbility. Previously, Mr. Marriott served as Chief Operations Officer - The Americas Eastern Region from 2010 to 2018, where he was responsible for hotel operations in 23 states. During this time, he also oversaw the U.S. integration efforts of Marriott's acquisition of Starwood Hotels & Resorts. Prior positions at the company include Market Vice President, where he was responsible for hotel operations in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and Senior Vice President of Global Sales, where he helped lead a comprehensive transformation of Marriott's U.S. sales organization. Mr. Marriott is a graduate of the University of Utah. He currently serves as Chair of the Governing Board of St. Albans School in Washington, D.C. and is a member of the board of trustees of The J. Willard & Alice S. Marriott Foundation.
"Like me, David grew up in the hospitality business," said Chairman Bill Marriott. "While having Marriott as his last name opened the first door for him, he has proven throughout his 21 years with the company that he is a disciplined operator, a thoughtful collaborator with our owners and franchisees, and a passionate steward of our culture. The Board will benefit from his experience and insights."
Horacio Rozanski
As Chief Executive Officer at Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., Mr. Rozanski has overseen a strategic transformation of the firm, a leader in integrating advanced technology to solve the most complex problems facing government clients and Fortune 500 corporations, through investments in innovation and highly skilled talent. Mr. Rozanski played a central role in the 2008 separation of the firm's core government and commercial businesses into two distinct companies, Booz Allen Hamilton's 2010 initial public offering, and its 2011 expansion into international and commercial markets. He developed and has led the execution of a corporate strategy that has sustained the firm's role as an industry leader over the last decade. Mr. Rozanski joined Booz Allen in 1992 as a consultant to commercial clients, was elected vice president in 1999, and served as chief personnel officer, chief strategy and talent officer, and president and chief operating officer before becoming CEO. He is a member of the firm's board of directors. Born and raised in Argentina, Mr. Rozanski came to the United States to attend college. He holds a B.B.A. from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago. He is the chair of the board of directors of Children's National Medical Center and a member of the board of CARE.
"Horacio's established track record in innovation, technology, talent management and international expansion makes him a terrific addition to our Board. His perspective and experience will be invaluable to the company as we continue to grow our global footprint, advance our technology transformation and realize the opportunity in emerging businesses," said Anthony Capuano, Chief Executive Officer, Marriott International. "We look forward to his guidance and counsel as an independent director of the company."

Rhiannon ("Rhi") Spencer is a beautiful, but somewhat shy Sylph who prefers to keep a wide berth from the Sylph Council. Her sister, Silvia, had fallen in love with a Vampire, and had given birth to Kat, but had died tragically. Rhi wanted desperately to be part of Kat's life, but was not allowed. She enjoys working in marketing at T-Mobile and is proud of her career, but has no life outside work. She's terrified the Sylph Council will try to use her for their corrupt reasons, and terrified of opposing them.
The Sylph are one of the well-known Veiled communities in the Seattle area. They can pass easily looking like a human, but when they need to, they can turn into air and fly. They can carefully watch and listen from the air. Sometimes they can even hear sounds left after the occupants leave a room.
The Vampires and the Sylph both rely on their vast information networks to finance their organizations, gained through blackmail and other means. Betrayal and corruption are always the order of the day. Trust was usually the way to an early death. Love was tolerated in the Sylph community, but rare.
The Sylph Council rules the Sylph with a careful hand. Members are expected to obey, but with seemingly less forceful punishment. Rumors about Sylph who go missing are whispered very carefully.

I wanted to clarify yesterday's post. I wasn't working on SWEET SURRENDER. That book is in a holding pattern, but because that one is to the point I'm at with it, I can go back and continue on the edits and things I need to ROCK AND ROLL with on the first work.
Hopefully the final things that need to be done on 'SWEET' can be accomplished by next week. Then I resubmit for another proof copy and then…………………..
From here forward with that is UNEXPLORED TERRITORY!!!
Well, I have reading to do and then must focus on that J O B!
Today those words have me stuck!
It's NOT writer's 'block'… I know what I want to say. I see it typed out on the page that I keep staring at! I don't know WTH to do with this page to 'fix it'!
I'll let you know if I get beyond page 313 today..
I love when I get through two pages and Lynne has no red marks on them! ha ha! (THREE MAKES ME DO A HAPPY DANCE ,visualize Snoopy!) I knew each time I gave her a batch to read that there would be less red then the previous batch because she 'remembered me' so much!
She didn't just mark it up and give it back. She took the time to explain to me, so I tried to fix stuff before I gave her more. Lynne and I have spent many hours together and a GREATER bond was formed than the kinship we already shared. Did I say I was blessed by my Johannes family?!
Yo, all of you peeps who took typing class….. HOW MANY SPACES after a period to begin the next sentence… is your thumb TRAINED to tap-tap at the end of a sentence?! NOT WHEN YOU WRITE A BOOK!!! Do you know how hard it is to A) break that habit and B) go back after-the-fact and find all of those and delete the second one?! Habit creatures die hard!!! ha!
Too early to tackle the tree stuff, my sweet Gene took all the ornaments off yesterday and I waz'gonna lovingly wrap and put each one away like they were when I pulled them out, but….. NAH! He put them in a box and I just closed the top of the box and said 'this will be FINE!' ha!!!
I hear Geno moving around in the other room, so I'm just gonna post this now, or I'll never get back to what I WAZ'GONNA do today!
Make it a beautiful day – Live YOUR dream!
I promise you will know as soon as I know what's next with the book! Some of you will be able to HEAR me HOLLER!
I soooooo appreciate all the comments! I will tell you that I am ROCK AND ROLLING (keep wondering!) on the first story I wrote getting it ready to go after we are done with what we need to do on SWEET SURRENDER. (there will be a tease included at the back of this book!). I get up early every morning and work on the changes that I need to make. That's my time – Gene is still sleeping, Kooky lays on the floor beside me and I type. Someone I know who also writes, said that she has to 'go away' when she writes. I do too!
I escape to my own little HAPPY PLACE in my head! Gene can have football on and I'll either be on the sofa with the laptop in my lap or sitting at the dining room table, but I'm either typing something that popped in my head or working on the edits.
So to answer one of the questions….. HOPEFULLY there will be more to come!
Until then… I leave you with my favorite song… ENCOURAGING WORDS FOR ME, and to you, FROM ME!
Oh… just get used to it – I love this man and Gene's OK with it! ha ha ha!
…It's a new day, and I'm feelin' gooooood!
Thank you to those of you who have acknowledged the blog, some here, some via FaceBook messages and some personal notes. I LOVE that you are reading, and that you like what I'm sharing.
Holding that BOOK in my hands… seeing MY NAME on the cover, I still can't get over that exhilaration! If something happened that no more copies were ever made – but that's NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!! – I WROTE A BOOK!
Well…. NO! But wait… IT IS MY BABY!!!
And like a proud Mama I can't wait to show off my baby!
As I get up and moving today, we are a day closer to whatevah comes next! Profound, I know! But see, I'm at a place where each step is a BIG'UN!
Waiting on one more read through (you know who you are!) and then the corrections and then…..
I mentioned yesterday about the 'distraction' that started all of this – NaNoWriMo… November is National Novel Writing Month and they have a challenge each year – 50,000 words in 30 days – FROM SCRATCH – no cheating… Write a story! It's this… just start typing and see where it goes. SWEET SURRENDER was 'born' from that challenge! I'll just tell you that I hit SUBMIT with 52,934 words on Thanksgiving Day and… I'm a WINNER! November 1 to as soon as I know it's ready… A BOOK! IMAGINE what will come from the one I've been working on since 2003! ha! You'll have to read the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS when the book is released for 'THE REST OF THE STORY'!
The J – O – B!
* I've been told not to go into this thinking I'm the 'next J.K. Rowling'… But I bet SHE didn't think she was either! ha!
It's funny, since I posted the pictures with my AWESOME news people keep saying things like 'you are an author', 'when did you start?', 'how come you didn't tell me?'….. Here's the thing…. I didn't know I was an author!
I don't sleep… haven't for years…. and sometimes in the middle of the night I have these stories, ideas, whatevah they are, and one night I just started typing! (while I bounced my crazy legs!) SWEET SURRENDER isn't my first 'book'. It's the first one that had an opportunity (* more on that another time!), and now I am praying THAT opportunity gives me an opportunity to continue.
And I didn't tell anyone because I wasn't sure I was any good at it. Gene said I was, but he doesn't count – he loves me unconditionally : ) So I wasn't confident enough to do anything with the words from my heart, afraid that they weren't good….
But I believe in fate…. and two recent conversations led me to take a leap of faith. My friend Wanda and I ride to work together every Friday and we were talking (we're very good at that! ha!). I don't know what made me tell her about the story that I had at that point, but I did. And her words kept telling me to finish it. I let her read it and she liked it – she keeps telling me she's waiting for the movie! ha! So I got a little closer to completion. And then a coffee date with my dear friend JMac went from my crazy "words of the day" that I post on FaceBook to a deeper conversation. A voice said to me 'TELL HER' so I did…. and that conversation lead me to the my Johannes family who believed in me and encouraged me to finish it. Jennifer told me that I couldn't put it away – I had to do something with it. So the characters and story that started in my head many years ago are in the completion stage but then…..
I love SWEET SURRENDER and I can hardly wait until I can share it with you! We have a few tweaks to do and then we'll know more and I will SHOUT all over the place when we are ready.
This is an amazing journey – I'M AN AUTHOR!!


Teams of two must accomplish 10,000#'s of deadlift, 3k Row, 2 mile run outside, 100 Ring Rows, 100 Push-ups, and 100 Squats. Teams can complete the exercises in any order. Team members can split up the requirements however they choose. Each team gets one barbell to deadlift, one set of rings, and one rower. The best time to completion wins.

School psychologist sentenced to 14.5 years prison; "groomed" boys for molestation
Fifty-nine-year-old Craig Figley, a former psychologist for the Colville School District (Colville is located in the northeast corner of Washington state) was sentenced today to serve at least 14.5 years in prison for molesting an 11-year-old student and attempting to molest another.
Figley pleaded guilty in March 2010 to molesting the boys and admitted he'd "groomed" the victims to take advantage of them.
In court, Figley said "I have committed illegal and shameful acts." Those illegal and shameful acts involve two underage boys.
Figley has a history of child molestation, including victims who were friends of his own son
Figley admitted repeatedly fondling the children while caring for them, buying them video games, and taking them out for dinner.
In addition to first-degree child molestation, Figley pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography after images of young boys were found on his school computer.
Figley was a member of a multidisciplinary team that helped coordinate law enforcement investigations of child abuse.
Following sentencing, his case will go before a state board that reviews the sentences of sex offenders, and that board could decide to keep him in prison for life, Stevens County Prosecutor Tim Rasmussen said.

US Special Operations under fire from local residents after raiding abandoned hotel in North Carolina

The unique challenges posed by urban warfare can be extremely difficult to train for in a realistic way. American military installations that lend themselves to dynamic training tend to be set in expansive stretches of open territory, allowing for all sorts of live fire and simulated training events without worrying about the effect these drills may have on nearby civilian populations. The problem is, modern warfare doesn't always take place in open fields, and among the only ways to develop real technical competency when it comes to urban combat operations is to train in urban environments.
Residents of Raleigh, North Carolina, witnessed just such a training event recently, when members of the U.S. Army's Special Operations Command conducted a raid on the vacant Capital Plaza Hotel. It upset nearby residents, many of whom were initially unsure if what they were seeing was a real combat operation or an exercise.

"The exercise turned out to be louder and more disruptive to the nearby neighborhood than the city anticipated," City Manager Ruffin Hall said in a prepared statement approved by the Raleigh City Council. "Upon review and lessons learned, I would not approve an exercise of this scale and disruption adjacent to a neighborhood in the future."
Notifying the public about these training events is a difficult predicament for the U.S. military that hopes to achieve a realistic parallel to how a real operation would unfold. If the notification approach is too effective, it can result in crowds gathering around the training site hoping to watch the spectacle. This is not only counter-productive for the concept of the training, it potentially puts civilians at risk (as there is an inherent risk to any and all military training). However, if notifications aren't effective enough, public outcry from concerned citizens can also become quite troublesome.

"One of the neighbor's daughters is eight months pregnant with her first pregnancy, and she was having trouble breathing. We were afraid she was going to go into premature labor," said a woman who identified herself only as Dana to local news outlet WRAL-TV. "One of the neighbors had his guns out. It was crazy."

The raid, which was conducted sometime between midnight and 2 a.m., included special operations helicopters flying low throughout the area for insertion and extraction of special operators, as well as simulated gunfire and a number of loud bangs reported by local residents that were likely flash-bangs or other types of explosives used for breaching. The overall size of the drill, it seems, proved to be the issue and as a result, the Army's Special Operations Command has issued a statement saying that drills of that scale will not be conducted again in buildings located so close to the city's occupied neighborhoods.
"U.S. Army Special Operations Command is grateful for the support we receive from multiple community leaders around the United States in order to routinely conduct training in a variety of urban settings," Lt. Col. Loren Bymer said on behalf of the U.S. Army's Special Operations Command. "These types of training events are necessary to maintain the readiness for the Army Special Operations soldiers."
