Landheim Ammersee
Experience community. become a role model.
What is the most important thing that a school, and especially a boarding school, can give its students on their way of life? We believe: an attitude. Inner peace. And optimism.
In addition to an excellent education, a boarding school can also have a great influence on the development of children and young people through its community. In the course of their boarding school life, we teach our students a certain responsible attitude: that of the Landheim entrepreneur. By this we mean a young personality with a strong sense of community, with a high empathy, resource-conscious approach and above all with an optimistic vision of the future. Your child will be empowered to take responsibility and make decisions. For yourself and its environment, for organization and planning, environment and cost-effectiveness, companies and companies. A model of tomorrow.
Unique is our special location on Lake Ammersee in close proximity to the economically strong metropolis of Munich, which is also the capital of education and has an important cultural offer. The combination of metropolis and daily nature experience with the special tranquility at Lake Ammersee offers no other boarding school.
We lead children on an individual path to the Bavarian Abitur – from grades one to twelve. We rely on age-appropriate community concepts. For the younger ones, the topic of "experiencing childhood" is in the foreground, it is about friends and support, about playful development steps and to try out possibilities. We give the young people inner peace, they can find and invent themselves, experience themselves in sport or discover talents and interests. For the Abitur years, the focus will then be on individual future orientation with vocational and study counselling and personality formation in the sense of our Landheim entrepreneur.
We are particularly proud of our recommendation rate of over 75 percent. It shows that "being a countryman" is more than a school and boarding school stay. We are a community for children and parents with equal values and educational ideals. This community will continue beyond boarding school life.
The six values of helpfulness, sincerity, responsibility, justice, respect and openness are the pillars of our coexistence. Education in the Country Home is based on them. And they show who we are and want to be. They are a protective umbrella for the individual and at the same time give the necessary support to the community life.
School offer
Landheim Ammersee is a boarding school and day care center with primary school and two grammar schools. The state-recognized Ernst-Reisinger-Gymnasium has an economic and a new language orientation.
At the state-approved, innovative Julius-Lohmann-Gymnasium, students can also obtain the Bavarian Abitur, who are denied this despite their individual suitability due to the strict transfer regulations.
The Landheim meets the current challenges with Covid-19 with great care, professionalism and tradition.
Caution: Our differentiated hygiene concepts for schools and boarding schools go far beyond the AHA measures and therefore have great success.
Professionalism: Digital learning with MS teams not only enables more innovative learning in classroom teaching, but also allows seamless home (or boarding) schooling with a consistent timetable – and from day one. Hybrid situations can also be mastered well and efficiently.
Tradition: Our large, close-to-nature campus, small learning and housing units have always proven themselves pedagogically and enable a child-friendly, positive and motivating life situation right now.
There are probably few places where pupils – elementary and high school students – can experience so much protected normality, academic attention and joyful community as in the Landheim Ammersee.

HOME / REVIEWS / OCTOBER 2011
Game of the Month: Knock Out 2
Knock Out 2 - Image taken from Lemon Amiga website
October 2011 Public Domain Game Reviews
Klawz the Kat
This month the review page is dedicated to games begining with the letter "K". Up first is a platform game involving a Cat.
The game is professional in terms of its presentation. There is a good use of colour and the backgrounds have some nice animation to keep them interesting. It would have been nice for parallex scrolling to be used as was the trend with commercial games such as Robocod and Zool.
There is some good music used during the loading screen at the start of the game but unfortunately it seems there is no in game music. This is a shame as it would have added to the game play especially if the tune was as memorable as the tunes used in commercial platform games such as Giana Sisters or Alladdin.
There is a back story to this game but it is the usual cliche - girlfriend captured - hero heads off to the rescue. This is perhaps the biggest problem with Klawz - it offers nothing new and therefore fails to excite you to play this game for a long period of time. There is the option to hit the enemies with a trunchon but this soon becomes repetitive - perhaps some varied animated death sequences for the badies would have made the game more interesting rather than just stunning the baddies for a few moments.
Overall the graphics of this game are professionally put together. The lack of level design such as those present in the Mario games hinder the game play and make it unlikely that you would play this game more than once.
The game can be downloaded from our new download page for game titles starting with K.
Amigapd would like to thank S2325 from the EAB forum for the youtube video.
KungFu Charlies
One of my favourite Amiga games was IK+. The speed of the combat and the silly sounds effects instantly made the game appealing. The silly name of this game made me hope that I would be in for a similar experience.
Loading up the game my initial reaction was one of happyness as the sound effects temporarily took me back to IK+. However this joy was short lived as the game soon became repetitive. The levels are similar and the aim is simply to clear each screen of the badies which fall onto the platforms in a similar way as Bionic Commando.
It is the lack of variation which proves this games downfall. IK+ had some mini games between the levels which helped to break the monotony. It is a shame that a similar approach wasn't taken with this game. Without any variety in game play the endless punching or kicking of enemies soon becomes tiresome. The actual combat is simplistic which wouldn;t be a problem if the levels had some problem solving taks or variation in terms of moving platforms or disappearing platforms.
Overall this game seems to be unfinished due to the lack of variety in gameplay. A few extra months introducing more variety in the way the enemies fight, the way the levels were structured and the inclusion of some mini games would have made this an outstanding title. Without these the game is an average platform game.
Knock Out 2 - GAME OF THE MONTH
It seems strange that the two other games reviewed this month have been criticised for their lack of variety when the game of the month has a very simple concept. All you have to do is push your opponents cars out of the ever decreasing combat ring. There are no power ups, no mini games or no upgrading your car. These lack of options do hinder the single player game but is the multiplayer game which makes this game shine.
Long before internet connection and online game play, computer games used to be a social past time where you would invite your friends round to your house to play a game in the same room. The normal multi player games were often limited to 4 player and sometimes these required extra mutli tap connections to the joystick ports. Some games however used the keyboard as the control method allowing more than 4 players to challenge each other. Knockout was brave in trying to attempt to get 8 players huddled around the Amiga keyboard. The close proximity of the players meant that you could hear them breathing, muttering under their breath and see the panic in their fingers as they hammered the keyboard in desperation as they tried to avoid being knocked out of the death areana.
If you still have your original Amiga and have friends over for a few beers and some computer game fun then you can't really go wrong with this. The short time it takes to play each round means that every player still feels part of the game as they do not have to wait too long after being knocked out of the arena for their opportunity to seek revenge. And they will want to seek revenge so be warned !!

At its regular Nov. 21, 2017 meeting, the Tinley Park Village Board adopted a property tax levy request for Tax Year 2017 in the amount of $25,541,964, which is unchanged from last year and represents a zero percent increase over the previous year's total dollars. This is the fifth consecutive year the Village has held the tax levy unchanged.
The Village Board also approved tax levy abatements for the coming tax year, a practice that has been followed for the past 36 years. Officials said these abatements continue to save residents hundreds of dollars on an average property tax bill.
Most of the area communities that previously offered tax rebate programs have either reduced or eliminated their programs. However, Tinley Park's abatement program is continuing as designed.
"It makes more sense, fiscally speaking, to abate taxes than to tax and then issue a rebate after the fact," Tinley Park Mayor Jacob Vandenberg said. "Rebate programs may be popular, but they're also much harder to end once they've started because of political pressure taking priority over fiscal responsibility to taxpayers."
The Village's required 2017 levies to pay outstanding bonds and interest payments due in the upcoming calendar year (2018) are being reduced by nearly $3 million, which directly translates into reduced property taxes. The total amounts abated represent 75% of the total debt service of the Village and Library combined.
"Another great advantage of our tax abatement program is that it doesn't bring with it the administrative costs you typically see with a rebate program," said Trustee Michael Mangin, Chairman of the Village's Finance Committee. "We don't have to pay staff to receive rebate requests, perform calculations and verifications, or process the tax refund checks."
Over the past 10 years, the annual average residential tax savings generated by abatements on homes with a market value between $150,000 and $350,000 is between $164 and $385. During this same period, homeowners have received and benefited from cumulative savings of between $1,643 and $3,846 on the Village portion of their tax bill because of the abatements, which have totaled more than $47.5 million for the past 10 years.
If the Village didn't have alternate sources to pay the debt service on these bond issues, the tax levy would be nearly $3 million higher than proposed and would add an estimated $0.173 to the Village tax rate, and an estimated $0.010 to the Library tax rate.
The total Village tax levy required to pay principal and interest on the bonds was reduced or eliminated by the amounts paid from other sources of money, helping to eliminate the need to place additional tax burden on the property tax. The amount included in the Village's tax levy has remained unchanged at $350,000 annually since tax year 2003.


The UP Challenge is a 9 weeks program for refugee status holders in Friesland happening in September & October 2018. In teams, the status holders solve challenges submitted by companies and by doing so learn more about the Frisian (business) culture, discover their unique skills and develop their self-esteem and proactivity.
From September to November 2018 we are running a pilot edition of the program in Friesland, Netherlands. There, UP is part of the CREATE YOUR FUTURE Initiative.
Create Your Future wants to be the connecting link for refugees towards citizenship and integration into the job market. Create Your Future offers different opportunities for economic integration such as mentoring, study shadowing, job shadowing and a learning program (UP). Create Your Future is about showing the possibilities in Friesland and connecting that to the ambitions of the refugees.
Create your Future is a collaborative initiative of: MentorProgramma Friesland, Stichting VerbindMij, NOW, Spare Space and Present Promotions.
The development of UP has been made possible by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme through the Social Challenges Innovation Platform.

"Fair trial is not a right, it's a privilege of the powerful and rich." – Mumia Abu Jamal, Live from Death Row (paraphrase)
For almost twelve long years, Mohammad Mahjoub, a torture survivor from Egypt's Mubarak regime, has been detained without charge in Canada. All on the basis of secret information which the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has admitted was likely obtained under torture. Mr. Mahjoub remains under heavily intrusive control orders and is still on "deportation row". However, for the first time in twelve years, he is permitted to travel outside Toronto.
Mr. Mahjoub is one of five Muslim men who have been struggling for justice in Canada against so-called security certificates. Security certificates allow the government to indefinitely detain or deport people on the basis of their profile.
Mr. Mahjoub will tell his story in a six-city speaking tour, as the Justice for Mahjoub Network gears up for a day of protest to mark the 12th anniversary of his arrest on June 26th.

Profile the Profilers !
Thursday, March 29th at 8am
Meet in the parking lot at the corner of Peel and St. Antoine (in front of the CSIS office)
Spies, experts in interrogation, and profilers We are seeking your talents for the surveillance of shady individuals who are threatening the security of our communities.
Following a detailed study of the declaration launched by 70 community organizations endorsing a campaign of non-collaboration with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), the Peoples Commission Network (PCN) has identified a real threat to our community: CSIS agents themselves. Thanks to the testimonies of their victims, the PCN has been able to document the menacing tactics used by CSIS agents and we are now ready to give them a taste of their own medicine: surprise visits at work, harassment, and intimidating interrogations. On March 29th, we will greet these secret agents at the doors of their bunker with our cameras, our questions, and our own inquisitive actions.
We invite you to join us at this gathering to subject CSIS to what these agents have done to our communities.
NO TO PROFILING, NO TO HARASSMENT, AND NO TO INTIMIDATION.
To profile the profilers, you will need :
- To look like a secret agent
- To have a camera or a recorder

Community solidarity & popular education: Confronting the national security state
BROWN BAG LUNCH SEMINAR
Wednesday 29 February at noon
Room 233, Education Building, 3700 McTavish
McGill University, Montreal
A "Meet the Neighbours !" Brown Bag Lunch Seminar on Community Education, Research, Knowledge Production and Social Change with the People's Commission Network
Over the past decade, the debate over "national security" has intensified in Canada. A long list of new surveillance measures has been introduced; control mechanisms including a "no fly" list have been increasingly normalized; and policing and intelligence powers of the state have expanded. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada's spy agency - which is mandated to protect national security - is a key indicator of this trend. Over the last 10 years, its budget has increased by 140%, reaching $430 million in 2009. In 2010, the agency maintained almost 3000 employees. CSIS has been heavily implicated in several Canadian cases of rendition to torture but has emerged from these and other scandals unscathed, protected by a broad mandate, laws assuring the secrecy of its operations, and a lack of accountability mechanisms.
The People's Commission Network, a grassroots network of community organizations and activists, was formed in 2005 to examine the impact of this trend on migrant communities. It organized three days of open community hearings on immigration, security certificates, and related issues in 2006 and initiated a major forum on a range of issues on "security" in 2011.
The People's Commission Network is currently engaged in a popular education campaign reaching out to communities in Montreal who are marginalized politically and socially by national security measures. Three members of the People's Commission Network - Mary Foster, Abby Lippman and Jaggi Singh – will present the campaign and discuss its importance. See http://www.peoplescommission.org/en/csis.
All welcome to attend.

Political profiling and institutionalized racism: How the system protects itself
PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION
Tuesday, 28 February, 7pm
Belle époque, 1984 Wellington (Charlevoix metro), Montreal
Join the People's Commission for a presentation and discussion of the role that Canada's spy agency, CSIS, plays in immigration and political repression. As border controls and inter-state cooperation in "security" intensify, political repression and the criminalization of activists keep pace with the creation of new special police squads, infiltration of social movements and use of conspiracy law. In this context, the People's Commission's campaign around CSIS is strategic and timely.
This workshop takes place in the lead up to the month against Police Brutality and Political Repression, which will include a public action against CSIS on March 29th.

Members of community organizations and individuals are warmly invited to participate in a community dinner and information and discussion event about how to protect our communities from harassment, intimidation and criminalization by Canada's aggressive spy agency, CSIS.
For decades, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada's spy agency, has profiled communities and social movements and subjected them to surveillance, harassment, threats and other abuses.
CSIS is the Canadian government agency mandated to bar immigrants from Canada on so-called security grounds, to initiate the "security certificate" process, to screen government employees, and to place organizations and individuals on blacklists. It also routinely shares information on people in Canada with foreign spy agencies. In its work, CSIS relies on guilt by association and profiling; it regards certain political and religious opinions, as well as entire communities, as suspect. It keeps a watch over indigenous communities, migrant groups, mosques and political organizations. CSIS has been heavily implicated in Canadian cases of rendition to torture but has emerged from these and other scandals - such as manipulation of evidence and the infiltration of labour unions - unscathed, protected by a broad mandate, secrecy and lack of accountability.
Over the last decade, CSIS's budget has increased by 140%, reaching $430 million in 2009. In 2010, CSIS maintained almost 3000 employees. With the Harper majority and right-wing attitudes favouring surveillance and exclusion hardening in Canada, the problem of CSIS will likely only worsen.
The People's Commission Network sees CSIS as a flagship of the current political trend and a powerful tool the state uses to implement racist and repressive policies. Since 2009, our CSIS Watch project has promoted non-collaboration with CSIS. We are now launching a public campaign to confront CSIS more effectively.
Come join us to learn more about the history, mandate, abuses, and current practices of Canada's spy agency, to learn about the new tools that the People's Commission has developed to protect our communities against CSIS (videos, pamphlets, workshop, website, etc.), and to discuss how, as individuals and communities, we can develop effective strategies to end CSIS intimidation and defeat the political interests it serves.

CSIS: Our Friendly Local Terrorist
Montreal Launch of Our Friendly Local Terrorist
by Mary Jo Leddy
Monday, 20 December, 6 à 8
le cagibi café
5490 St. Laurent, Montréal
Our Friendly Local Terrorist tells the story of the fourteen year struggle of Suleyman Goven, a Kurdish man accused by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) of being a terrorist. Mary Jo Leddy was "accidentally" present at Suleyman's first interview with CSIS. During that eight-hour ordeal he was propositioned: you work for us as a spy and you'll get your papers; otherwise-no guarantees.
Suleyman Goven, the Toronto-based editor of Yeni Hayat, an online source of news about Canada, Turkey and elsewhere from a social justice perspective. Our Friendly Local Terrorist is based on Goven's diary and covers his political persecution in Turkey, his flight to Canada, and his epic struggle with Canada's spies in Canada.
Maria Forti, part of Project Fly Home, the support group for Abousfian Abdelrazik. Abdelrazik was arrested in Sudan on the request of CSIS. Never charged, threatened, beaten and tortured, he was held for two periods totaling almost two years. In this context, he was interrogated by two CSIS agents. When he was released, his name was added to an international "terrorist list" and he was blocked from returning to Canada for another three years.
Jaggi Singh, an organizer with No One Is Illegal, Solidarity Across Borders and the Anti-Capitalist Convergence (CLAC). He is also active with the CSIS Watch project of the People's Commission Network. Jaggi is currently under restrictive house arrest bail conditions, related to criminal conspiracy charges he and other co-accused are facing in relation to the protests against the G20 in Toronto this past June.
CSIS, Our Friendly Local Terrorists is organized in the lead up to the People's Commission Network conference, "Whose Security, Our Security! Countering the National Security Agenda" which will take place in Montreal from 3 to 5 February 2011.
and featuring an exhibit of posters and artwork from Montreal struggles against the national security agenda.

He lives and works in New York.
Dan Shaw-Town was educated at the Goldsmiths University in London, and specialized in sculpture. His artworks get together sculpture and drawing. The artist combines different techniques, choosing as support simple sheets of paper and newspaper, which he reworks: at first he covers them with graphite, then he folds, crumples and paints them with spray enamel. His creative process develops slowly, because the artist doesn't leave anything to chance: every sign is refined and neatly outlined. At the end of the work, which seems an alchemical process, a new object comes to light, born through the transformation of a humble raw material – a simple support at the beginning – and composed of layerings: a halfway between two and three dimensional work.
The artist's task is to transform materials; Shaw-Town analyzes their structure and features, and emphasizes their purely physical essence.
Recent solo exhibitions include: "Decaffeinated Enjoyment," ROOM EAST, New York, USA (2015); Maisterravalbuena, Madrid, Spain (2015); Dan Shaw-Town, 1/9unosunove, Rome, Italy (2011).

Q: Debian "sid"/Gnome: bash + browser cursor blink I'm struggling to make the cursor in bash stop blinking. Also, the cursor in Iceweasel has started blinking again, but, for some reason, a lot slower than in bash :) I got those problems since I upgraded to sid, so probably some configuration files were overwritten.
I tried everything in How to stop cursor from blinking - nothing worked, probably because that was about tty, not bash.
This did not work (that is, setting the flags worked, just didn't do anything to the cursors):
gconftool --search-key cursor_blink
 /desktop/gnome/interface/cursor_blink = false
 /schemas/desktop/gnome/interface/cursor_blink = false

This did work, but only to make the cursor visible and invisible, it didn't stop the blink:
tput cvvis

This did not work:
echo -n -e '\e[?17;14;224c'
printf '\033[?12l'

My PS1 looks like this (added \033[?17;0;127c):
PS1="\033[?17;0;127c\\[$(tput setaf 3)\\]\u \\[$(tput setaf 4)\\]\w: \\[$(tput sgr0)\\]"

This is already set to zero:
/sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink

Any more ideas?

Islam, Women and Feminism ( 30 Dec 2014, NewAgeIslam.Com)
I Want To Marry a Saudi Man
By Sarah Matar<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Sometime back I listened to an Arab woman singer singing: "Saudi, Saudi, I want to marry no other man but a Saudi." The song is available on the Internet for anyone who is interested in listening to it.
I have not heard any Arab woman singer expressing a desire to marry a man from the other Gulf countries. The song made it clear that the Saudi man was much in demand for marriage in many Arab countries. However, it seems that he has little luck in his own country.
The young Saudi women, who are of the generation of Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, do not prefer to marry men from their own country for a variety of reasons.
For these young women, the Saudi man is extremely selfish, does not express his intimate feelings, treats his wife badly and may marry another woman as soon as he is put on retirement.
The young women also believe that the Saudi man is a constant cheater, not keen on ensuring the happiness of his wife and does not shoulder his responsibilities as a husband and a family head.
The Saudi becomes a different man when he marries a foreign woman. All of a sudden he turns into a fabulous husband, very understanding, loves his children and takes great care of them, does not go out much and has a very limited number of friends.
The Saudi man who is always running after women suddenly turns into a wise man who is very faithful to his foreign wife.
During the 1980s, when a Saudi man married a foreigner during his study in her country, he would bring an ugly old woman. When we were young we used to be surprised and say that a young Saudi man married a foreign woman who was old enough to be his own mother. With societal development, the taste of the Saudi man has improved. He is now bringing a young and a beautiful foreign woman when he comes back home from his scholarship abroad. He is not making the same mistake as his predecessors.
I know a lot of Saudi men who married women from other countries and were very faithful to them. We would giggle and laugh because we were sure that he would not be that faithful if he had married a woman from his own country.
I remember that a man from my own tribe had married a foreign woman when he was studying in her country. Though his wife was sterile, he remained faithful to her. He stayed with her for about 35 years without ever thinking of marrying another woman to bear him children.
This man took another wife only after his first wife died. He was at least 60 when he got himself another wife. He had children but he died before seeing them grow up.
My countrymen have a weird complex. When they marry from outside, they become weak and lose their self-confidence. They try their level best to prove to their foreign women that they have made a good choice when they marry them.
They are also keen to prove to their foreign wives that their sacrifice of leaving their advanced countries and coming to live in a desert country with them has paid off.
I have also noticed another trait in some men from my tribe. When they marry a foreign woman, they become exasperated with their country. They often discuss with their foreign wives the bad habits of the young Saudi men. They will not shy away from telling them that the young Saudi men are backward and the young Saudi girls are spoiled.
They also tell them that they want to bring up their children to be independent like them.
The same men will shed tears of regret when their foreign wives escape with their children to their own countries.
I met a number of men who were married to foreign women. After 20 years or more they regretted the mistake they have committed by marrying from outside their country. They started yearning to marry Saudi women who would better understand their lives and requirements.
A Saudi man may want to stay at home in his underwear. His Saudi wife will not object but a foreign woman may ask him to put on a tracksuit or dress himself properly when staying at home.
He does not have to hide his real nature behind a mask just to please his wife. The Saudi woman will help the Saudi man live his normal life without any false pretences.

"यह राज की पहली बेटी है।"
Translation:This is Raj's first daughter.
Shouldn't it be "elder daughter"?
'Elder daughter' would be बड़ी बेटी. पहली means 'first', and so there is a simple translation.
It should accept 'eldest', I think.
No, it should not accept 'eldest' because Raj's eldest daughter would be राज की बड़ी बेटी.

A family trip in 2021 yielded a limit of lingcod for Chad Smith (center), wife Sara and their three sons Logan (right) and Zac, plus brother-in-law Kyle McCullough (left), including a 35-inch lingcod that snapped Chad's rod in two when it hit. Photo courtesy of Northwest Sportsman Magazine.
Key in on structure around Puget Sound for hard-fighting lingcod
Puget Sound's 'stable' fishery for the toothsome and tasty species is now open for business.
Originally published by Northwest Sportsman Magazine
The lingcod is a rather frightful-looking creature with buggy eyes, a bucket-sized mouth filled with canine-like teeth, odd-shaped fins, a pot belly, and mottled brown/grayish skin.
While not easy on the eyes, anglers are charmed by their steely fight when hooked and beloved tasty, white-fleshed meat. Even more appealing is a relatively well-established lingcod population along most of the West Coast and from Washington to Alaska.
"We just reviewed the catch-per-unit-effort for the past decade and overall things are quite stable in Puget Sound," says Bob Pacunski, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's research scientist and senior groundfish biologist.
Lingcod populations in inner Puget Sound saw a decline in the 1970s, but with improved management, they slowly began to increase in the early 1980s and have since remained strong enough to allow a six-plus-week-long sport fishery in spring and early summer.
"Sport catches of lingcod continue to be good in the San Juan Islands (Marine Area 7), where most of the angler effort comes from," Pacunski says. "The 2020 catch in Marine Area 7 was 69 percent above the 15-year average and just over twice of what it was in 2019."
Lingcod catches in Saratoga Pass and northern Puget Sound (Marine Areas 8–1 and 9) have remained fair to good in recent years, according to Pacunski.
Some places have seen a decline in catch during the past five years, including Port Susan and Port Gardner, and central and southern Puget Sound (Marine Areas 8–2, 10 and 11).
While not even closely related to a true ling — a native Atlantic Ocean fish — or cod for that matter, our lingcod are part of the greenling (Hexagrammidae) family and grow quickly to harvestable size in a span of around three years. Washington's inside fisheries are structured after spawning season, thus allowing optimal reproduction.
Part of the fun of lingcod fishing is they can be caught with a variety of methods including jigs, swimbaits, flies, mooching herring or squid, or using live bait such as sand dabs (a type of flatfish), greenling or shiner perch. Photo by Ben Matthews.
The sport lingcod hook and line fishery is open May 1 through June 15 in the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Sekiu to Port Angeles (Marine Areas 5 and 6), San Juan Islands (Marine Area 7), and most of Puget Sound (Marine Areas 8–1, 8–2, 9, 10, 11 and 13).
Despite a strong tidal exchange on the May 1 lingcod opener, many anglers reported decent catches of lingcod around open areas of Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands.
The lingcod daily limit is one per angler. Minimum size limit is 26 inches and maximum size is 36 inches. This slot limit is one reason why lingcod populations have remained somewhat robust in Puget Sound and includes releasing the oversized females.
A popular target of divers, the lingcod spearfishing season in these marine areas is May 21 through June 15, maximum size 36". Daily limit one per diver.
Anglers who do a little homework on how to catch a lingcod will certainly raise the bar of fishing success.
"Locating structure off the bottom is key and I look for rocky ledges or rock piles on my fish finder," said a charter boat operator with the Puget Sound Charter Boat Association. "Even a small 2-foot depression can be an ideal spot for lingcod. I also prefer to fish an hour before and after slack tide (high or low tide depends on location), since it's the best period to keep your gear right in front of their face."
Lingcod are a nonmigratory and predatory creature that inhabit rocky pinnacles, reefs, rock piles, steep drop-offs or ledges, breakwaters, jetties and almost any structure and hard rocky bottom.
Lots of locations in Puget Sound see heavy angler traffic, especially when the season first opens, and they'll get quickly fished out of keeper-sized fish.
Picking the right time to fish can make or break success, the Puget Sound charter boat operator says, particularly when the current is running hard and/or the wind is blowing. During these periods you're prone to snagging and losing tackle around rocky structures, or you'll breeze over a fishing hole before you even get your line down. This is where positioning your boat for the right drift or maximizing effort around slack tides becomes a key element to catching lingcod.
Lingcod often hide in their lair (think of an unfriendly neighbor like Oscar the Grouch) only to swiftly lunge out at unsuspecting prey swimming just outside their shadow. Sometimes adult fish will even dine on their own juvenile nieces and nephews.
Many anglers like to target them off the breakwater at local marinas. For shore-bound anglers, local piers around Puget Sound offer a chance to catch lingcod, and the most practical way is casting leadhead or metal jigs. These methods also work from coastal jetties, as we covered in this recent blog.
In Puget Sound, look for lingcod on Possession Bar off Satchet Head, around Blakely Rock and Restoration Point, off Point Evans near the Tacoma Narrows Bridges or Toliva Shoal off Steilacoom, Itsami Ledge off Henderson Inlet's north end, near Utsalady Bay or Doublebluff, Deception Pass, Burrows Island, Smith Island, Lopez Pass, as well as artificial reefs south of Richmond Beach, north of the Edmonds Marina and southeast of Alki Point, and throughout the San Juan Islands and Bellingham Bay.
After the Puget Sound season closes, anglers can continue to target lings off the coast at Neah Bay, La Push, Westport and Ilwaco (Marine Areas 1, 2, 3 and 4); these waters are open daily through the third Saturday in October, which this year falls on October 15.
The western Strait of Juan de Fuca from the Sekiu River mouth west to the Bonilla-Tatoosh line (the start of Area 4) is also open daily through October 15 for lingcod.
Anglers call large lingcod "sea dragons" for a reason. In Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca (Marine Areas 5–13) there is a slot limit on lingcod retention. Only fish between 26 and 36 inches may be kept by hook and line anglers. Photo by Chase Gunnell.
Fishing gear and tips
Lingcod eat just about anything, including flounder, rockfish, octopus, sculpin, kelp greenling, herring, crabs, squid, octopus, and pollock. But a favorite meal is the abundant Puget Sound flounder population found along sandy-bottomed areas. That makes Pacific sand dab or other small flounders the top choice for live bait amongst local anglers.
To catch flounder, use a lighter fishing rod and reel. Attach a 1- to 3-ounce lead to a short leader and hook. For bait, use a small chunk of a Berkley PowerBait Grub, Sandworm, or a herring strip. Bounce it off the bottom until you feel a vibration or tug on the line. Make sure to have a livewell or aerator on the boat to keep your flounder spunky; a large bucket filled with seawater will even do the job.
Just remember that some marine areas have different aggregate bottomfish daily limits. This means you can have a certain number of bottomfish species in total onboard. Don't go over the limit with the fish you keep plus the ones still in your livewell.
And keep in mind that barbless hooks are required for all species in Marine Areas 5–13, including lingcod and other bottomfish. The only exception is when targeting forage fish with forage fish gear. Fishing for bottomfish other than halibut is also prohibited in areas deeper than 120 feet in these marine areas. See regulations for details.
You can use basic salmon fishing gear for lingcod, but a stiffer, fast-action 7- to 8-foot jigging-type rod is effective. Any salmon-type reel works and fill it with about 200 yards of 30-pound-test braid.
"I'll never use anything heavier than 30-pound-test braided line, since the areas you tend to fish are very snaggy," tips the Puget Sound charter boat operator. "It makes it a lot easier to break off lighter test fishing line when you're stuck on bottom."
From your mainline, snap a slip swivel to a 3- to 8-ounce lead ball attached to a three- to four-foot 30- to 50-pound monofilament or fluorocarbon leader and a pair of 6/0 or 7/0 barbless circle or octopus hooks to a live flounder or whole blue-label-size frozen herring. If using circle hooks, be sure to let the lingcod really chew on the bait before reeling!
An alternative is a variety of soft plastic 4- to 6-inch squid jigs or grubs in root beer, purple, green, glow or dark motor oil color. Bigger jigs and swimbaits can also be used to target bigger lings. Metal-style jigs commonly used for salmon work, although snagging them on bottom could put a hefty dent in your wallet. Current speed and depth should dictate the weight of your gear.
Pipe jigs popular for deepwater lingcod off the Washington Coast typically do not work well in Puget Sound or the San Juan Islands.
Slowly drop your bait or lure down to avoid tangles, then crank it up a foot or two off the bottom and try a short vertical twitching motion to trigger the lingcod's attention. Some anglers simply like to keep the pole in a rod holder and let the live bait do the work.
Regularly keeping in touch with the bottom is key, as is checking your gear often since it's literally being dragged across the rocky bottom. Remember: you don't want to be on bottom, but a few feet above it.
Nothing is subtle once a lingcod takes your bait. It can be a very hard jolt and there's no need to set the hook. Just be ready for the ride of your life. Then slowly but steadily reel in your catch, as what often happens is a lingcod will literally be latched onto your bait and not the hooks themselves.
Have the net ready once the lingcod nears the surface. Gently place the net underneath the fish before it tosses the bait or begins to thrash wildly on the water's surface.

Lingcod can be found throughout much of Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, but with its rocky substrate the San Juan Islands are one of the better places to jig, and for bigger fish too. Photo courtesy of Northwest Sportsman Magazine.

Shilpa Shetty takes up for Shah Rukh Khan
Shilpa Shetty, who suffered racial discrimination during the British reality television show Celebrity Big Brother, claimed that Shah Rukh Khan's detention by US immigration officers at Newark Airport was 'a very unfortunate incident.'
"I have been through this whole thing of racial discrimination," she said during a press conference organised by the Federation of Indian Associations held before the India Day Parade in New York on Sunday, where Shilpa was the grand marshal. "I think everyone has the right to live with dignity, and if something like that [SRK's detention] has happened, and if it is because of his race, it is unfortunate."
'It is unfortunate that it happened with someone like Shah Rukh'
There are a lot of people who are inconvenienced by all this. But if you come to see how grave the situation was after the terrorist attacks, I think even Bombay has become a little overcautious," she added.
"But it is unfortunate when it happens to celebrities because then it is highlighted much more. But at the end of it all, I think people have to be treated with equality. It is unfortunate that it happened with someone like Shah Rukh," she said.
'It is an unfortunate procedure'
Khan himself did not want to make much fuss about the detention.
A day after the incident, he said that did not want an apology from the US government. 'I think it's procedure that needs to be followed, but an unfortunate procedure,' he was quoted as saying.
Prabhu Dayal, Consul General of India in New York, said that that consulate is taking up the issue with the US Immigration local director to find out what actually happened at the airport, and why SRK was detained.
'By the time we got to talk to Shah Rukh, he was already released'
My consular officer for visa and passport, Mr Bajaj, was informed by New Delhi around noon that Mr Khan was detained at the airport and he immediately got in touch with him over phone. But by the time we got to talk to him, he was already released," Dayal told rediff.com
"When we called him, Mr Khan said that that the matter was over, that he has been released and that he was going to Atlantic City," he said. "After that conversation yesterday, we have had no contact (with SRK)."
Apparently, the consulate did not know that Khan was visiting the US and learnt of it only when the External Affairs Ministry called the consulate to say that Khan had been detained by the immigration officers.
"I don't think we will be able to get in touch with the US authorities before Monday," he said.

Elsewhere during the Insta Live, Adele opened up about her mental health, revealing that she takes it on a "day-by-day" basis but feels it is currently "very good".
"My mental health is very good at the moment. I take it day-by-day and I address whatever comes my way," she told fans. "It definitely helps me feel better if I take my time. Writing my music… yeah it's been really therapeutic for sure."
Speaking about her new album in a recent interview, Adele said it's more personal to her than any of her previous records.
"It's sensitive for me, this record, just in how much I love it," she told Vogue/British Vogue. "I always say that '21' doesn't belong to me anymore. Everyone else took it into their hearts so much. I'm not letting go of this one. This is my album. I want to share myself with everyone, but I don't think I'll ever let this one go."

Guest Post: Mr M - How I Created The Magical Adventures of Brian Leonard
Some call 4:30am the ungodly hour. For me it's the time when my son and wife are peacefully sleeping. It is the time I launch myself into another universe…a universe only I know. There are so many reasons why I write. There are so many reasons why someone should go to the gym instead.
I write because it is like television in my head. I didn't really love writing until I reached undergrad at Chapman University. My writing tool of choice was a Mac Classic which was essentially a very large, beige box. I dragged it to college and back home in order to work on mediocre student film scripts. Each was fun, but looking back, each was terrible.
However, I soon learned a valuable lesson in writing good dialogue. Writing good dialogue can make or break any book, movie, or television show. As an author, I place a high priority on making sure my dialogue is exciting. Originally, my book was about a boy who wanted to be popular. It was cute and charming, but that's all it was. In many respects it was like the beginning of the film Super 8. Nothing really happens, but we like the characters. I did a dialogue pass in order to build each characters voices.
I revised, expanded and soon eerie, bizarre things began to occur to my lead character, Brian Leonard. I wanted the kind of memorable dialogue that people quote as they exit a movie theatre. Eventually, Brian and his best friend Johnny became slightly sarcastic. Their wit became charming to me.
One of my favorite movies that has great dialogue is Bull Durham. To many viewers, it is a great sports film. To others it is a great love story. Ron Shelton (the writer) wrote a masterpiece. The lead character Crash Davis (played by Kevin Costner) is a minor league baseball player who is beyond his prime. The Durham Bulls have hired him to mentor a young, up and coming pitcher. During one of the locker room scenes Crash dispenses advice. In my head, I can visualize Crash leaning forward on the stool next to a locker.
"Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob."
My main character is a middle school boy. However, building memorable lines was still important to me. What dialogue in The Magical Adventures of Brian Leonard was memorable for you? I'd love to know. You can contact me on Facebook.

Summary of China's Slowdown
Mikkel Barslund and Cinzia Alcidi
CEPS, 2015
China's economy is slowing to a more sustainable level of growth as it transitions from its dependence on export and investment to a greater focus on consumer goods and services. But other variables, such as commodity prices, will likely contribute to the speed of the decline, which will influence, to varying degrees, economic growth prospects in Europe and in other regions around the world. This concise commentary from researchers Mikkel Barslund and Cinzia Alcidi of the Centre for European Policy Studies, though at times difficult to parse, nonetheless outlines the projected impacts of Chinese economic deceleration on members of the European Union. getAbstract recommends this scholarly piece to executives and investors for its relevance to the global economic outlook in 2016.
Mikkel Barslund and Cinzia Alcidi are researchers at the Centre for European Policy Studies, a leading European think tank.
China is shifting from a domestic investment-driven economy to a consumer-led economy on its way to achieving more manageable growth. The potential effects of this rebalancing are global, both economically and politically, and will depend on how rapidly the transition takes place.
In 2013, China produced 13% of the world's GDP, about half the share of the entire European Union. Thus, the scale of the ripple effects within the EU of China's deceleration should be relatively muted. A decline to 6% growth in China...

The Pull List 8 July 2015
Home/Comics/The Pull List 8 July 2015
I've always been of the opinion that there's a great comic book out there for everyone. I love making recommendations to folks – especially new readers – and helping them grow a love for one of America's unique forms of literature.
So, let me tell you what to read this week.
Strange Fruit #1
Writer: Jones, J. G., Waid, Mark
Artist: Jones, J. G.
From Previews:
What's to Love: Two of the industry's most respected and prolific creators come together for the first time in a deeply personal passion project. J.G. Jones (52, Wanted, Y: The Last Man) and Mark Waid (Irredeemable, Superman: Birthright, Kingdom Come) take on a powerful, beautifully painted story set during the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Strange Fruit is a challenging, provocative examination of the heroic myth confronting the themes of racism, cultural legacy, and human nature through a literary lens, John Steinbeck's classic novel, Of Mice and Men. What It Is: It's 1927 in the town of Chatterlee, Mississippi, drowned by heavy rains. The Mississippi River is rising, threatening to break open not only the levees, but also the racial and social divisions of this former plantation town. A fiery messenger from the skies heralds the appearance of a being, one that will rip open the tensions in Chatterlee. Savior, or threat? It depends on where you stand. All the while, the waters are still rapidly rising.
Not sure what I think of this book quite yet. There are some really heavy themes in the book, and the klan and confederate flag play important roles in telling a story of oppression and fear. This may be a great series for those of you who like to dive headfirst into serious material. Jones' artwork is very realistic and gorgeous, adding depth to the overall story. Definitely a three-issue decision series for me.
Tomorrows #1
Writer: Pires, Curt
Artist: Copland, Jason
Cover Artist: Copland, Jason
They told you the counterculture was dead. They were wrong. Welcome to the new reality. A bold new speculative-fiction comic from the mind of writer Curt Pires, with each issue illustrated by a different brilliant artist! The future: Art is illegal. Everything everyone ever posted online has been weaponized against them. The reign of the Corporation is quickly becoming as absolute as it is brutal-unless the Tomorrows can stop it.
A LOT happens in this first issue, but it remains engaging. It'll warrant a second read, but it is a neat dystopian-type comic with unique style.
Gotham Academy #8
Writer: Cloonan, Becky; Fletcher, Brenden
Artist: Kerschel, Karl
Cover Artist: Kerschl, Karl
Classes are suspended for a funeral. So, is it really true that grieving students get all A's?
Ugh, can Maps get any better? She is the spazzy, weird girl I always wanted to hang out with in middle school. But Maps isn't the only shining moment of this issue. Gotham Academy is the supernatural drama/romance I've always wanted to read in comics. Olive's life gets more convoluted as Kyle and Maps discover Tristan's secret and Olive pieces together her mother's life.
Shutter #13
Writer: Keatinge, Joe
Artist: Del Duca, Leila
Cover Artist: Del Duca, Leila
SHUTTER YEAR TWO BEGINS HERE! The next major stage begins here by introducing SHUTTER's most important character since Kate herself.
Great issue, but maybe not THE place to jump in. If you are curious about this series (and you should be), you might be in luck because…
Shutter vol 2: Way of the World
Cover Artist: Gieni, Owen
RELEASED SAME DAY AS THE NEW STORY ARC!
…volume two is out! Yes!
Star Wars: Lando #1
Writer: Soule, Charles
Artist: Maleev, Alex
Cover Artist: Maleev, Alex
You know him…you love him…now, join him for his biggest caper as master of charm Lando Calrissian gets his very own comic book! Before he joined the rebellion, before he ran Cloud City, Lando made his way in the galaxy getting by on some swindles, some swagger, and a smile. Lobot at his side, Lando has a plan to steal a very valuable ship…but has he bitten off more than he can chew? Writer Charles Soule (DEATH OF WOLVERINE, INHUMAN, SHE-HULK) and artist Alex Maleev (DAREDEVIL, SPIDER-WOMAN, MOON KNIGHT) bring us the tale of a scoundrel in his natural element-trouble! Rated T Star Wars.
Lord have mercy, y'all, Marvel gave Lando his own book. I am over the moon about this smooth son of a gun, and the Soule/Maleev team sounds like a match made in heaven.
Princeless: Raven The Pirate Princess #1
Writer: Whitley, Jeremy
Artist: Higgins, Rosy
Cover Artist: Higgins, Rosy
Spinning right out of the pages of Princeless, it's the ongoing adventures of Raven Xingtao, The Pirate Princess. Raven if ready to set off on a quest for revenge against her brothers who have stolen her inheritance. The monthly ongoing series picks up right where Princeless Volume 3 left off and has the same creative team with Variant covers by Katie Cook, Mike Hawthorne, and Richard Case, limited to 2,000 copies each!
Yeah, you're going to want to pick this one up. All-ages, diverse cast, and loveable women. If you love the Princeless series, this is kind of like the cool older sister version.
Demon Prince of Momochi House vol. 1
Writer: Julietta Suzuki
Artist: Julietta Suzuki
Cover Artist: Julietta Suzuki
On her sixteenth birthday, orphan Himari Momochi inherits her ancestral estate that she's never seen. Momochi House exists on the barrier between the human and spiritual realms, and Himari is meant to act as guardian between the two worlds. But on the day she moves in, she finds three handsome squatters already living in the house, and one seems to have already taken over her role!
Suzuki is the author of Kamisama Kiss, a popular shojo manga. I am really excited about checking out Momochi this month and getting my shojo fix (also, Nisekoi vol 10 comes out and provides even more lady goodness).
That's it for this week's pull list! If you have any recommendations for comic fans (and non-fans) out there, share them in the comment section!

Q: How to pass parameter from .run to .config? I work on my angularjs ui-route project.
in .run() core I put some variable in named clientid to $rootScope.
At some point I need to use stored variable in .config() core.
I know that I can't use $rootScope service in .config() core.
So my question is how to pass clientid variable from $rootScope to .config().Maybe I can use any another service?

A: Ofcourse, using $rootScope would be wrong decision. Because no one prefers to pollute global scope and there are other reasons as well. You could consider creating an constant called as settings and utilize that in wherever you needed in any angular components like .run block, config phase, service, provider, etc.
angular.module('mainModule').constant('settings', {
   clientId: 1123 //some inital value
})

Though you could override this value from your config phase.
angular.module('mainModule').config(['settings', configFn])

function configFn(settings){
    //routes registers here

    //other awesome stuf

    //set clientId here
    //Assuming your clientId will be available, no async operation.
    if(someValue === 1)
      settings.clientId = 'asd12';
    else
      settings.clientId = 'asd34';
}

Thereafter you can use that constant inside your run block
angular.module('mainModule').run(['settings', runBlock])

function runBlock(settings){
   console.log(settings);
}

Note: The reason behind selecting constant is, this flavor can be available as injectable in any angular components.

Q: .read() returns "unicode object has no attribute read" in python with askopenfilename() I'm trying to make an import function for scrolledText in Python's Tkinter, but when reading the file, an AttributeError is raised. Code:
def open_command():
    openfile = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
    if openfile != None:
        contents = openfile.read()
        textPad.delete('1.0', END)
        textPad.insert('1.0', contents)
        openfile.close()

Error:
    contents = openfile.read()
AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'read'

I want to clarify that 'textPad' refers to a 'ScrolledText' object.
Does anyone know why this is happening? at first I thought the error may be coming from encoding, so I encoded in UTF-8 but it still returned the same error. Thanks in advance!

A: tkFileDialog.askopenfilename() returns the file name not a file object. You'll want to do something like:
def open_command():
    filename = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
    if filename is not None:
        with open(filename) as f:
           contents = f.read()
        textPad.delete('1.0', END)
        textPad.insert('1.0', contents)

[If you're using Python 2.7 consider using Python 3 or change the above to open(filename, 'r')]

Our Equip Training is designed to carry our vision, encourage personal growth and impact your journey with Jesus.
If you're new to faith and Christianity then you are so welcome, we have people in our community who are from all walks of life and we're so glad that you're here. We'd love to help you explore who Jesus is, and would encourage you to start that journey by attending Alpha.
We believe it is important, as a growing church, that everyone knows who we are and what we do. If you're new to Central Vineyard, or feel it's time for a refresh on what it means to belong here, come and join us for 3 evenings and discover why and how we do things at Central Vineyard, what it means to join God in the renewal of Northamptonshire and how our discipleship culture impacts your personal journey with Jesus.
Jesus invites us to follow Him and be His disciples, but what does that really mean? During this course we will be looking at how we are called to, Be with Jesus, Become like Jesus and Do what Jesus did. Over these three sessions you will be challenged and inspired, as well as equipped with some new tools to live as a disciple or apprentices of Jesus and grow deeper in your relationship with Him.
By taking a Vineyard Institute course, you will be trained with high quality theological education integrated with spiritual transformation, so that you are prepared for Kingdom ministry. Included in the Theological modules are the three newest modules, called Vineyard Essentials.
Vineyard Training is a new digital platform, created by Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland to train our movement. We long to see everybody equipped for the task that God is calling them to. Our desire is to compliment local church training, with online modules that are tailor made to the needs of groups and individuals in the movement.
Our mission is to extend the Kingdom of God by training leaders who multiply disciples. We do this through resourcing local church communities in their effort to raise up the next generation of leadership. This is accomplished through the two year pioneering leader program called Hub Training.


Our strength lies in our workforce. We encourage our employees to always strive for innovation and excel beyond the norm. At Zota, every working opportunity comes with passion, dedication and the zeal to excel.
At Zota, we are fully committed to adhering to the principles of transparency while conducting business and upholding every transaction with the highest level of integrity so as to garner trust from our stakeholders.
Being a healthcare company, quality is the central focus of all our manufacturing processes. Conducive to achieve quality, we also provide a safe working environment and maintain adequate policies to achieve the level of quality we desire.
