Empty Rhetoric: Cardinal Meisner Complains About Theology Memorandum
Editor : The same sorts of problems occur over here, although our Bishops tend to avoid responsibility for the Theology faculties altogether by saying that they have little power to effect what happens in their Universities.
The Cardinal of Cologne complains about the theologians, whom he himself had named, and about the situation with religious instruction where he has unleashed church haters and homosexually disturbed persons upon the children.
Six weeks late the neo-Conservative Cardinal of Cologne has criticized the Old Liberal theologians' pamphlet against celibacy.
The Cardinal's statement was published in the Newsletter of the Archdiocese of Cologne. The pamphlet being criticized appeared in the beginning of February.
"In my episcopal service -- in any case almost thirty six years -- there has seldom been an announcement from the theological side made known to me which was so shocking and saddening as this Memorandum" -- the Cardinal emotionally explained at the beginning of his address.
The specifications and suggestions of the pamphlet must be contradicted "almost in every point".
Then followed the obscure verbiage.
For example, this: "That I have to take it on myself to express there is already a disagreement: for the first and foremost belongs foremost thing is the service of the office in the Church: to spread the truth of Christ, 'if one will hear it or not'.
Or, directly after: "This proclamation is in no way a "message of biblical freedom", rather in the power of the Holy Ghost in the passing down and continuation of the word and grace of the Son of God made man."
Wishy-washy in place of clear words
One can not bring concerns and criticism in such a way as if the Church were just "any human institution" -- said Cardinal Meisner.
A fruitful discussion within the Church can only succeed if one affirms the Church in its "deepest natures".
These "deepest natures" the Cardinal defines with a wishy-washy term used in the Church Constitution of the Second Vatican Council, "universal sacrament of salvation".
All Are Guilty, Just Not the Bishops
He locates the problems particularly -- where the blame should fall squarely on the Bishops -- on deficits in the faith knowledge and in a widespread lack in living the faith.
These should bring the theologians "to thinking to what extent this actually casts their bad influence in their ranks upon their brothers and sisters in the faith-- and just look at what is taught in religious education!"
The Bishops are responsible for the quality of religious instruction -- not the theologians.
The teachers were appointed by the Bishops
The the Cardinal turns a melodramatic pirouette.
"I can not conceal my greatest concern" - he sighs:
"How can I entrust the Church to future priests, deacons, religious instructors and pastoral caregivers whose lives are a deficit to the life of the Church."
The Cardinal is not one to cry over this like a woman, what he won't defend like a man.
The following active Cologne theologians have signed the pamphlet:
-The lay theologian Michel, Andreas, since 2006 at the University of Cologne
- The lay theologian Saskia Wendel, since 2008 at the University of Cologne
- The lay theologian Hans-Joachim Hohn, since 1991, at the University of Cologne
Cardinal Meisner has been in office as Archbishop of Cologne since February of 1989.
He appointed these theologians and should do justice by them.

@rehabscience on Instagram reviewed this great article showing 1 year of resistance training and it's effects on bone mineral density.
🔎 A study in the Bone journal demonstrated that one year of resistance training (3x/week) had a significant impact on bone mineral density (BMD) and overall bone strength, which could help reduce the incidence of osteoporotic fractures.
👉 Some of you may be saying, 'this doesn't apply to me as I am still young'. It is well understood that peak bone density is reached fairly early in life (20s-30s) and then hormonal changes (women) and increasing age (males and females) lead to decreases in BMD. Even if you are young, now is the time to maximize bone density through proper training and nutritional habits as these may help reduce your risk of fractures later in life.
🏋🏼♂ If you haven't already, strongly consider adding resistance training to your exercise program as the benefits to the musculoskeletal system are numerous. The program does not need to be complicated either.

Year in review: US bishops take on abuse, cover-ups
Pauline Hodgdon December 28, 2018
WASHINGTON (DC)
By Carol Zimmermann
2018 will no doubt be remembered as a dark time for the U.S. Catholic Church.
Catholics felt betrayed by church leaders accused of sexual misconduct and cover-up revealed this summer and this cloud still hung over the church at the year's end.
In June, allegations were made against then-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, retired archbishop of Washington, accused of sexually abusing a minor almost 50 years ago and having sexual contact with seminarians while he was a bishop in New Jersey.
A month later, Pope Francis accepted McCarrick's resignation from College of Cardinals and suspended him from public ministry, ordering him to a "life of prayer and penance" until the accusations against him were examined in a canonical trial.
The archbishop, who has denied the allegations, now lives in a Capuchin Franciscan friary in Victoria, Kansas.
Since these allegations came to light, Catholic laity and church leaders, including bishops, have been asking who knew about the archbishop's alleged misconduct and how was it possible for him to move up the ranks in church leadership.


Practical work: theory or practice? | Is this going to be on the exam?Is this going to be on the exam?
Chemistry laboratory is so intimately connected with the science of chemistry, that, without experimentation, the true spirit of the science cannot possibly be acquired.
I love this quote because it captures so nicely the sense that laboratory work is at the heart of chemistry teaching – its implicit role in the teaching of chemistry is unquestionable. And although it has been questioned a lot, repeatedly, over the following decades; not many today would advocate a chemistry syllabus that did not contain laboratory work.
I feel another aspect of our consideration of chemistry labs is often unchallenged, and needs to be. That is the notion that chemistry laboratories are in some way proving ground for what students come across in lectures. That they provide an opportunity for students to visualise and see for themselves what the teacher or lecturer was talking about. Or more laudably, to even "discover" for themselves by following a controlled experiment a particular relationship. Didn't believe it in class that an acid and an alcohol make an ester? Well now you are in labs, you can prove it. Can't imagine that vapour pressure increases with temperature? Then come on in – we have just the practical for you. Faraday said that he was never able to make a fact his own without seeing it. But then again, he was a great demonstrator.
A problem with this on an operational level, especially at university, and especially in the physical chemistry laboratory, is that is near impossible to schedule practicals so that they follow on from the introduction of theory in class. This leads to the annual complaint from students that they can't do the practical because they haven't done the theory. Your students are saying this, if you haven't heard them, you need to tune your surveys.
It's an entirely understandable sentiment from students because we situate practicals as a subsidiary of lectures. But this is a false relationship for a variety of reasons. The first is that if you accept a model whereby you teach students chemistry content in lectures, why is there a need to supplement this teaching with a re-teaching of a sub-set of topics, arbitrarily chosen based on the whim of a lab course organiser and the size of a department's budget? Secondly, although we aim to re-teach, or hit home some major principle again in lab work, we don't really assess that. We might grade students' lab report and give feedback, but it is not relevant to them as they won't need to know it again in that context. The lab report is done. And finally, the model completely undermines the true role of practical work and value it can offer the curriculum.
When we design lecture courses, we don't really give much thought to the labs that will go with them. Lecture course content has evolved rapidly to keep up to date with new chemistry; lab development is much slower. So why not the other way around? Why not design lab courses independent of lectures? Lecture courses are one area of the curriculum to learn – typically the content of the curriculum; laboratory courses are another. And what might the role here be?
developing practical skills and techniques.
getting a "feel for phenomena".
The detail of how this can be done is the subject of their book, but involves a syllabus that has "exercises, investigations, and experiences". To me these amount to the "process" of chemistry. On a general level, I think this approach is worth consideration as it has several impacts on teaching and learning in practice.
Cutting the link between theory and practice means that there is no longer a need to examine students' understanding of chemistry concepts by proxy. Long introductions, much hated by students, which aim to get the student to understand the theory behind the topic at hand by rephrasing what is given to them in a lab manual, are obsolete. A properly designed syllabus removes the need for students to have had lectures in a particular topic before a lab course. Pre-lab questions can move away from being about random bits of theory and focus on the relationships in the experiment. There is no need for pointless post-lab questions that try to squeeze in a bit more theory.
Instead, students will need to approach the lab with some kind of model for what is happening. This does not need to be the actual equations they learn in lectures. Some thought means they may be able to draw on prior knowledge to inform that model. Of course, the practical will likely involve using some aspect of what they cover or will cover in lectures, but at the stage of doing the practical, it is the fundamental relationship they are considering and exploring. Approaching the lab with a model of a relationship (clearly I am in phys chem labs here!) and exploring that relationship is better reflecting the nature of science, and focussing students attention on the study in question. Group discussions and sharing data are more meaningful. Perhaps labs could even inform future lectures rather than rely on past ones! A final advantage is the reassertion of practical skills and techniques as a valuable aspect of laboratory work.
A key point here is that the laboratory content is appropriate for the level of the curriculum, just as it is when we design lectures. This approach is not advocating random discovery – quite the opposite. But free of the bond with associated lectures, there is scope to develop a much more coherent, independent, and more genuinely complementary laboratory course.

WASHINGTON, Apr 19 (Reuters) The United States wants the rest of the world to boost domestic demand and share more of the burden of reducing huge global trade and other imbalances, a senior US Treasury official said today.
''The US is doing its part and the other major economies must do theirs as well,'' Tim Adams, Treasury's under secretary for international affairs, said at a briefing ahead of a Friday Group of Seven finance ministers' gathering in Washington.
Adams was setting out the US agenda for a series of meetings including not only the finance ministers but also sessions next weekend of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank where the Bush administration wants changes made.
He fended off an IMF criticism that the Bush administration was half-hearted about cutting its budget deficits, saying it couldn't do more without imperiling global growth by curbing free-spending US consumers' ability to keep buying.
''Addressing global imbalances is a shared responsibility and we will emphasize that the best approach to adjustment is one that continues to support strong global demand,'' he said.
Adams repeated that China, which has been racking up huge trade surpluses with the United States and other G7 members, was ''moving far too cautiously'' in letting market forces play a larger role in setting the value of its currency, the yuan.
The G7 comprises the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. They meet on Friday afternoon and conclude with a series of evening news conferences before weekend sessions of the global lenders.
Adams had fairly specific prescriptions for what others -- G7 countries or not -- needed to do to spur their economies.
NEED MORE GROWTH ''Japan and Europe need to undertake structural reforms to improve their growth prospects,'' Adams said. ''Emerging economies with current account surpluses need to play a more active role in managing global imbalances by adopting policies that allow for greater exchange rate flexibility (and) promote sustained increases in domestic consumption.'' Adams complained that China was racking up excessive foreign reserves while keeping its yuan from appreciating in value. US manufacturers say the Chinese currency remains undervalued by as much as 40 percent, giving Chinese imports an unfair price advantage.
He also said China's practices were preventing other Asian countries from adopting flexible currency regimes for fear that they would lose export business to China.
Adams said the United States has invited officials from Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to join the G7 for an informal dinner. In addition, Australia has been invited for the first time to speak to G7 members.
Reforming the IMF is also on the agenda, and Adams said he considers its ''most basic purpose'' is to monitor the international system of exchange rates, promoting greater flexibility in how such rates are set.
In response to questions, he said the United States would be willing to yield some of its ''quota,'' or membership share, in the IMF to give emerging-market countries more say if that would be useful.
In its World Economic Outlook released earlier on Wednesday, the IMF criticized the Bush administration's pledge to cut its fiscal deficit in half by 2009 as ''unambitious,'' provoking a wry response from Adams when asked about it.
''The IMF has never been shy about making comments on US fiscal policy,'' he said. ''We would just hope they would apply that same kind of energy with other aspects with the agenda, including foreign exchange surveillance.'' He said if the United States became more ''aggressive'' about cutting its budget deficits, ''that puts global growth in peril'' because there is no other country to take up the slack.

Bob Dylan announces spring 2022 dates for his 'Never Ending Tour'
Van Morrison has slammed music publications in a rare interview on BBC Radio 4 today (March 10).
Speaking to 'The Today Programme' Morrison was commenting on the subjects that have inspired his first studio album in nine years 'Keep It Simple'.
The album, nearly his 40th release is set for release next Monday (March 17) and Morrison said in the broadcast this morning: "Basically, I'm a simple guy in a complicated business. I've never been comfortable with fame, so that's what a lot of this material is about."
He also added that he thinks: "There's an obsession at the moment with what some people call the comics and what I call the propaganda magazines, Mojo, Q Magazine, The Word…there's this obsession with the past. It's like no one has moved on. The marketplace is going backwards."
A follow-up programme will air on 'The Today Programme' later this week, with a panel debating Morrison's criticsms.

In the presence of cellulite in the body, it is crucial to monitor lymphatic circulation in adipose tissue, as it could reduce significantly. Italian dermatologist, Sergio Churri, examined the possible methods of preventing such issue and suggested *tissue movement* as one of the ways of stimulating blood and lymph circulation. LPG treatments proved to be useful for helping to treat cellulite.
Around the same time in France, it was fashionable to attend endermology treatments, which is a mechanical massage carried out with a set of rollers and a vacuum. Since then, both manual and automated massages were used as anti-cellulite procedures around Europe and America. Lymphatic drainage massage techniques, based on active mechanical tissue stimulations, are registered trademarks of the LPG treatment.
The LPG procedure for cellulite is performed using the specially made equipment. The effects of anti-cellulite creams, scrubs, wraps, baths only work in combination with an LPG treatment. When preparing for LPG, the consumption of retinol, caffeine and algae extracts significantly increase the elasticity and smoothness of the skin, but don't change the shape or size of fat cells.
Decrease the general volume of the body.
Get rid of local fat deposits.
Strengthen and restore the elasticity of the skin.
The procedure requires the patient to wear specially made clothing to ensure that the skin has maximum contact with the rollers and so that the body tissue is affected at multiple depths. Depending on the type of skin of the patient, the intensity of the treatment, as well as the ability of the rollers to hold and handle the tissue, is adjusted accordingly. The procedure is comfortable and painless, lasts only 35 minutes and covers the whole surface of the body. After the treatment, clients sense an increase of the tone of the skin on their hands, collar zone, and in areas of the body that were previously affected by cellulite or acted as fat deposits.
Specialists, from more than 100 countries around the world, have recognised LPG as the most effective method for treating cellulite, obesity and body contour modelling. Endermology holds a record on the number of clinical studies and scientific publications that prove its effectiveness. No other mechanical treatments have such popularity.

Q: EGO Table View Pull Refresh too sensitive I implemented the ego table view pull to refresh mechanism into my iphone app. When i first implemented it, the pull to refresh worked perfectly.  However as of recently, it seems like the pull mechanism is too sensitive.
For example when im scrolling really quickly and i get to the bottom, I should have to pull for at least 1 or 2 full seconds before the mechanism realizes i want to refresh.  However even if i pull it for like .2 seconds, the mechanism loads more.
I don't know if my question makes sense, but basically i'm wondering if there's a way to alter the code in ego table view pull refresh to not refresh unless i pull up for a longer period of time

A: By looking at the implementation of EGOTableViewPullRefresh (egoRefreshScrollViewDidEndDragging selector), it does not seem that it is a question of elapsed time. it is simply the amplitude of the drag (>65 px) that will trigger the reload.
You could easily modify the code and track the time passed between the start of the dragging and the end, though. Just replace the condition:
    if (scrollView.contentOffset.y <= - 65.0f && !_loading) {

with the appropriate one base on the elapsed time.

A: I'm not familiar with that component, but here is an idea:
// when refresh condition is met (you scrolled beyond the bottom boundary)
[self performSelector:@selector(yourRefreshMethod) withObject:nil afterDelay:2.0];

// when refresh condition is not met (you scrolled back to the normal boundary)
[NSObject cancelPreviousPerformRequestsWithTarget:self];

This forces you to scroll beyond the bottom for 2 seconds to initiate a refresh. I guess that component has some kind of refresh detection that you can use with this snippet.

The inspiration for this tap handle's design came from a local restaurant in a historic building in Houston. While sipping on a refreshing pint one afternoon, the decorations above the bar kept garnering my attention. So I copied the grooves of the bar's wall in this Jatoba handle. It has 1/8th inch kerf cuts running the length of the handle and a matte finish showing off the wood. It's almost amazing how many times a good idea occurs while you have a beer in your hand.

Red mandarin essential oil has a sweet, happy, citrusy aroma and brings an uplifting, joyful mood. Mandarin is a happy oil and a good respiratory and immune supporter during cold and flu season. It helps during times of grief and sadness. Mandarin is also incredible at melting away daily stresses and reducing anxiety. Red mandarin essential oil is gentle enough for children, pregnant women, and the elderly as a soother for upset tummies. Mandarins are a symbol of prosperity and good fortune in China and Japan and are given as gifts during the New Year. Even though tangerines and mandarins are the same species and genus, mandarins are more complex and are the older fruit of the two. Comparing an heirloom tomato to a regular tomato is the best way to describe these two oils from one another.
• To soothe sore throats – put 1 drop in a bowl of steaming water. Cover your head with a towel and steam for 2 to 5 minute.
Add essential oils drops to a diffuser when there is sadness, grief or depression in the home.
The mandarin essential oil we offer is red mandarin from South Africa and certified organic through the farmer. Red mandarin is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit when the fruit is mature. There is also a green mandarin essential oil that is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit when it is still young and not yet ripe. Red mandarin essential oil, like all cold pressed citrus oils, has a short shelf life and should be used within 1 year of purchase. It is also recommended to store it in the fridge to keep the integrity of the oil intact and get the full shelf life of the oil. Mandarin oil has a strong potential for skin irritation if it becomes oxidized. Be sure to keep your cap on tight and store in the fridge to keep oxidation at bay.
Do not use on skin undiluted. Essential oils should never be used undiluted on children's skin. Do not use essential oils topically at all with children under the age of 2. Animals are sensitive to essential oils, especially cats and smaller furry friends. Never put essential oils on cats or other small pets fur. When using essential oils with dogs or other animals consult a holistic vet for advice on how to use them safely.
What are the red mandarin uses you're excited to try?

Gopalaswamy Mahendraraja (1956 – 28 December 1994), also known as Mahattaya was a member of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam who was killed for leaking secrets to India's RAW.

Personal life

Gopalaswamy Mahendraraja was related to Velupillai Prabhakaran, former LTTE leader. He was born in Point Pedro.

LTTE

Mahattaya joined the LTTE in 1978. In 1987 he became the deputy leader of the LTTE, and in 1989 he became the head of the short-lived People's Front of Liberation Tigers, a political party founded by the LTTE. Mahattaya was the person who was leading most of the attacks done by LTTE when Prabhakaran was in India until 1986. Mahattaya was sent to Jaffna by Prabhakaran to inquire into the conflict matters that arose between LTTE and the University of Jaffna, in 1986, when a university student Vijetharan was kidnapped and killed by the Kittu group. Prabhakaran returned to Jaffna at the end of 1986. Mahattaya was second-in-command in the LTTE, at one time.

Athira, accused 18 in Rajiv Gandhi Assassination case confessed that she was ordered to collect intelligence in Tamil Nadu and hand it over to Mahattaya. Several investigative journalists proposed that Mahattaya might be the main Conspirator in Rajiv Gandhi Assassination, possibly worked as a mercenary.

Velupillai Prabhakaran and Pottu Amman found out that he was leaking information to India's RAW, which helped the Indian Peace Keeping Forces (IPKF) destroy LTTE bases. Mahattaya group was famous for doing all well planned attacks. In 1993, the LTTE took him into custody. He was executed on December 28, 1994, by the LTTE.

Q: modifying 2d array in a function So I've written a function that turns a 2D array 90 degrees and I've been told on IRC that I can't pass 2D array by reference (for example void test(char A[][10]&)) and that I just should pass my array the usual way, however when I do that, this function doesn't change the actual array. So how do I modify my original array in a function ?
void one(char A[][10], int N)
{
    char B [10][10];
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j < N; j++)
            B[j][N-i-1] = A[i][j];
    A = B;
}

A: A = B ; doesn't copy the elements of array B to A permanently. It's an invalid assignment to change to elements of A permanently. A retains it's original values upon function return. You need to do a member wise copy to permanently copy the elements of B to A.

A: When you pass an array (such as char A[][10]), you are actually passing a pointer to the original array, so doing A = B makes A point to B and doesn't change the original array. Instead, you can use a function such as memcpy to actually copy the contents of B to A:
memcpy(A, B, sizeof(B));

A: Read suggested by @FredOverflow link: How do I use arrays in C++?.
To rotate 90° clock-wise NxN array you could divide the task in two smaller steps:

*

*flip the matrix in up/down direction

*transpose it

void rot90cw(char A[][N]) {
  // flip in up/down direction (swap rows)
  for (int i = 0; i < N/2; i++)
    std::swap_ranges(&A[i][0], &A[i][0] + N, &A[N-i-1][0]);

  // transpose (swap top-right and bottom-left triangles)
  for (int i = 0; i < N-1; i++)
    for (int j = i+1; j < N; j++)
      std::swap(A[i][j], A[j][i]);
}

I've used swap() and swap_ranges() to perform operations inplace.
Example
// -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

namespace {
  const int N = 3;

  // rotate 90° clock-wise
  void rot90cw(char A[][N]) {
      // ... defined above
  }

  void print(char a[][N]) {
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < N; j++)
        std::cout << a[i][j];
      std::cout << '\n';
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;
  }
}

int main() {
  char a[][N] = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i' };
  print(a);
  rot90cw(a);
  std::cout << "Rotated 90° clock-wise:" << std::endl; //note: utf-8
  print(a);
}

Output
abc
def
ghi

Rotated 90° clock-wise:
gda
heb
ifc

A: Arrays don't work like that in C++.  When you pass an array in a function, you are passing a pointer to the first element and nothing more, so what you are doing is creating a locally defined array B, then setting the pointer passed into your function to point to the head of the B array.  At no point does the memory assigned to your original A actually change.  Then when the function returns, the A pointer from your function is discarded, leaving your original A array untouched.  If you want to modify an array passed as an argument to a function, you will have to modify the elements directly.

A: What you are trying to pass the array by reference and change that reference. This works, but is not necessary.
You can modify the array directly element by element:
void one(char A[][10], int N)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j < N; j++)
        {
            char b = A[j][N-i-1];
            A[j][N-i-1] = A[i][j];
            A[i][j] = b;
        }
}

Home / Focus on: Tourism
Focus on: Tourism
posted by Lucy Liddiard 6 years ago in Features
New research has revealed small businesses have been boosted by the staycation economy this year. Barclays business discovered that 70 per cent of adults in the UK have been on or are planning a holiday on home soil, with the average spend per day increasing by over 6 per cent. So what does that mean for our country's independent tourist attractions?
To celebrate World Tourism Day, leaders of UK tourist hotspots share their story with Businesscomparison.com…
Greenwood Forest Park, North Wales
"It's been quite a year for GreenWood – our new 150kW solar array completed its first 12 months of power generation, producing over 120 megawatts of electricity; our new, sun powered, boat ride "Solar Splash" opened at Easter and proved very popular indeed, giving visitors a thrilling ride down the three 80m chutes; we welcomed our 2 millionth visitor and sold over 5000 season tickets for the first time; and we are on track for a record 160,000 visitors by Christmas. Our staff continue to be our greatest asset as our TripAdvisor reviews constantly remind us, and TripAdvisor itself has placed us 8th in the top ten attractions in the UK.
The challenges are always there – increasing competition for the family market, the demand for higher standards, keeping a lid on ever increasing costs, Brexit and the weather, to name but a few. But we have great plans and hopes for the future and look forward to continued growth next year."
Stephen Bristow, Managing Director, GreenWood Forest Park
"I feel we have to constantly reinvent ourselves. The varied program of entertainment and craft sessions helps to keep the product fresh."
Andrea Bristow, Marketing Director, GreenWood Forest Park
The Ice Cream Farm, Cheshire
"The past year has seen huge changes for The Ice Cream Farm tourist attraction. Following the increase in visitor numbers, we carried out an in-depth customer survey in 2013 to better understand how we could improve the site and overall customer experience. Subsequently, a £5million redevelopment was undertaken in 2015, where we remained open throughout.
"We paired the redevelopment of the site with an in-depth marketing campaign, which proved to be a huge success. We welcomed nearly 250,000 people in the six-week period following the launch and visitor figures are set to reach 800,000 this year. Recently receiving recognition from Guinness World Records for the 'World's Largest Ice Cream Shop', The Ice Cream Farm is now the most visited, free-to-enter leisure attraction of its kind in the UK and we are constantly developing our offering, with our sights set on rolling the brand out through multiple and varied channels in the future."
Jonathan Fell, Director, The Ice Cream Farm
Pirate's Quest, Cornwall
"It's been a really successful year with an increase in early season trade. We have created a brand new storyline for 2016 to increase the appeal to return visitors. As well as this we have opened up our Pirate Academy, enabling school groups to double their time on the premises and offering indoor space for workshops.
A challenge would be the limited capacity of the building – we have overcome this by offering additional time slots every 15 minutes throughout the day during peak season.
Due to an increase in overseas visitors we have also introduced translation sheets in German, French and Dutch."
Nikki Smith, Managing Director, Pirate's Quest
Monkey Forest, Staffordshire
"Monkey Forest celebrated 10 years last year and 2016 has seen even more reason to celebrate as we were awarded 'Large Visitor Attraction of the year' at the Staffordshire Tourism Awards, something we are very proud of.
We've had 9 babies born this year at Trentham, which is a brilliant addition to this endangered species. The Barbary macaque was classified as endangered in 2008, with only 8000 left in the wild. Their demise is due to loss of favourable habitat and the illegal pet trade. This highlights just how important the work we do at Monkey Forest is. Our aim is to educate our visitors and share the important conservation message to as many people as possible.
In 1980 and 1986 we re-introduced a total of 600 Barbary macaques back in to the wild in Morocco and Algeria from our sister parks in France and Germany.
We're coming to the end of another successful season as we close for winter on the 30th October. We hope to continue the success as we begin plans for 2017."

Q: How to use mv command to rename multiple files in unix? I am trying to rename multiple files with extension xyz[n] to extension xyz
example :
mv *.xyz[1] to *.xyz

but the error is coming as - " *.xyz No such file or directory"

A: Don't know if mv can directly work using * but this would work
find ./ -name "*.xyz\[*\]" | while read line
do
mv "$line" ${line%.*}.xyz
done

A: Let's say we have some files as shown below.Now i want remove the part -(ab...) from those files.
> ls -1 foo*
foo-bar-(ab-4529111094).txt
foo-bar-foo-bar-(ab-189534).txt
foo-bar-foo-bar-bar-(ab-24937932201).txt

So the expected file names would be :
> ls -1 foo*
foo-bar-foo-bar-bar.txt
foo-bar-foo-bar.txt
foo-bar.txt
>

Below is a simple way to do it.
> ls -1 | nawk '/foo-bar-/{old=$0;gsub(/-\(.*\)/,"",$0);system("mv \""old"\" "$0)}'

for detailed explanation check here

A: Here is another way using the automated tools of StringSolver. Let us say your first file is named abc.xyz[1] a second named def.xyz[1] and a third named ghi.jpg (not the same extension as the previous two).
First, filter the files you want by giving examples (ok and notok are any words such that the first describes the accepted files):
filter abc.xyz[1] ok def.xyz[1] ok ghi.jpg notok

Then perform the move with the filter it created:
mv abc.xyz[1] abc.xyz
mv --filter --all

The second line generalizes the first transformation on all files ending with .xyz[1].
The last two lines can also be abbreviated in just one, which performs the moves and immediately generalizes it:
mv --filter --all abc.xyz[1] abc.xyz

DISCLAIMER: I am a co-author of this work for academic purposes. Other examples are available on youtube.

A: I think mv can't operate on multiple files directly without loop.
Use rename command instead. it uses regular expressions but easy to use once mastered and more powerful.
rename 's/^text-to-replace/new-text-you-want/' text-to-replace*

e.g to rename all .jar files in a directory to .jar_bak
rename 's/^jar/jar_bak/' jar*

I now have a very solid foundation which to build my acting upon, including various techniques, warm-ups and character/scene development tools. I plan to continue to study with Rhonda, and I highly recommend that if you are serious about your art then you do the same.
