We have recently received an appeal by Prof. J asking us to help him.
Prof. J is an anti-fascist fighter who opposed Pinochet´s regime and for this reason he is still being prosecuted by the Chilean military police which accuses him of having killed general Urzua, one of the most important leading figures of Pinochets junta. Because of this charge Prof J is also prosecuted by the Interpol. During the Anti-imperialist Camp in Assisi, last year, he was arrested by the Italian police and expelled to South Africa.
He suffered there imprisonment and for many days the South African authorities denied his presence in their country. Thanks to our massive campaign denouncing the unjust prosecution of Prof. J by the Chilean military, the South African authorities denied Chile request for Prof. J´s extradition.
But Prof. J. isn´t still a free man. The South African authorities haven´t till now consigned him any official paper concerning his legal position in South Africa, so that he can´t look for a job nor leave the country.
Therefore he calls to grant him financial support. Whoever wants to give some donation pls. contact us.


The joint submission by Foster + Partners and Aston Martin has won first prize, alongside Capoco Design, in Transport for London's competition to design a new bus for the capital. The two iconic British brands worked together to challenge preconceptions of bus design with a vehicle that is environmentally sensitive, accessible, convivial and reinvents a much-loved symbol of London for the modern era.
After an intense period of research which included canvassing opinion from passengers, drivers and conductors, the two parties worked in close collaboration to design a new bus from the inside-out. In doing so, consideration was given to a wide range of issues including layout, use of materials, motive power, passenger experience and the bus' impact on the streetscape and the environment of the city. The bus is designed to navigate the dense and varied streets of London, employing innovative technologies to allow for greater manoeuvrability and energy conservation. Optimizing safety, the driver's cabin provides panoramic views as well as incorporating screens to supervise CCTV images and radio communications with the on-board conductor.
Much like a car or a building, the design evolved in response to the needs of its users. The layout, lighting and wooden floors are conceived to encourage a spirit of warmth and community. The arrangement of the decks is driven by comfort and particular consideration is given to the selection of reconstituted leather upholstery to create a tactile 'living room' feel, especially in the saloon-like lower deck.
The new bus is zero emissions ready, accessible for all and will set new standards for sustainable public service vehicles. Passengers benefit from views from the top of the deck through a glazed roof which incorporates solar cells to generate energy and filter daylight to control the temperature inside.
The bus design re-introduces the rear open access platform that made London's Routemaster bus so popular up until its withdrawal from general service. This is supplemented by a side door to facilitate access for the mobility impaired and families with young children.
Director of Design for Aston Martin, Marek Reichman said: "This unique project has been a great experience for the Aston Martin team and has allowed us to showcase the considerable and diverse design competence of our team, while affording us the opportunity to apply elements of our design language to entirely different concept.

Q: iPhone: How to Place a Scrollview Inside of Tableview Cell I want to put a scroll view inside of the table view cell. I have a number of buttons in one cell of table view and I need to scroll that cell to show the appropriate button.

A: I don't think you can do this. It would require nesting of scrollviews which isn't really supported.
Even if it was, it would be very difficult for a user to know which scrollview they were hitting with their pudgy finger. Remember, you don't have the one pixel precision of a mouse on the iPhone. You have an area of at least 15x15 pixels. You don't have a scroll bar but instead just drags anywhere on the screen.
Instead, you should use a master-detail pattern. Selecting the cell in the tableview pushes a detail view which has the scroll view with all the buttons.

A: If you want to use a vertical scroll view then I wouldn't suggest you doing it because, as TechZen wrote, there will be a mess in this case.
If you want the inner scroll view to scroll horizontally then it might be achieved by 2 ways:

*

*Implement a custom table view cell that will include a scroll view inside it.

*Add a scroll view as a sub-view to your cell that you will return from tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: method.

I suggest you to use the second approach.
There are plenty of examples online. Usually the sub-views are labels or image views, but it is not complicated at all to add a scroll view instead...

A: Why do you want to do it like this?
I think the best idea is to draw your table view manually above your uiscrollview. I did it, and it works. It just takes more effort and drawing accuracy. But that takes a lot of time. :)

Ålum Kirke er sognekirke i Ålum sogn, Randers Søndre Provsti, Århus Stift. Kirken ligger midt i byen på en bakkeknold på Nørreådalens nordside. Kirken er større end de fleste landsbykirker, hvilket formentlig hænger sammen med, at den har været ejet af besidderne af to hovedgårde i sognet, den forsvundne Gjanddrupgård og den stadig eksisterende Fussingø. Ålum Kirke er beliggende knap 14 kilometer vest for Randers.

Kirkens ydre

Den oprindelige kirke er en romansk kvaderstenskirke bestående af skib, kor og apsis fra omkring 1200. Det store tårn i renæssancestil samt våbenhuset er tilbygget i slutningen af 1500-tallet. Den romanske del af kirken er bygget over en dobbeltsokkel. Da tårnet blev tilføjet, rev man kirkens vestmur ned og benyttede kvadrene herfra til den nederste del af tårnet. På tårnets sydside bemærker man to granitkvadre med henholdsvis et og to udhuggede menneskeansigter. Den øvre del af tårnet er bygget af munkesten og har svungne gavle. Tårnet er rødkalket og har under glamhullerne en meget særpræget meanderlignende bort i hvidt. Våbenhuset dækker over den oprindelige syddør, som er udformet som en storslået portal med tre søjler på hver side og et tympanon med et relief forestillende De hellige tre Konger og flugten til Ægypten. Portalen minder om flere andre lignende portaler på egnen og har uden tvivl portalen i Viborg Domkirke som forbillede.

Kirkens indre

Hele kirken har hvælvinger, tre i skibet, et i koret og et halvkuppelhvælv i apsis. Desuden er tårnrummet, som er åbent ind mod kirkeskibet også overhvælvet. Alle hvælvingerne – undtagen tårnrummets – er dekorerede med blomsterornamentik fra midten af 1600-tallet. Altertavlen er fra midten af 1800-tallet. Alterbilledet forestillende Kristus på Oliebjerget er malet af E. Czarnikow og er en kopi af et billede af den italienske maler Giovanni Bellini. Den kraftige egetræsramme menes lavet af G. Bindesbøll. Prædikestolen er fremstillet i 1601 og er af egetræ med udskårne søjler og med stjerner i felterne. Døbefonten er en romansk granitfont med dobbeltløver adskilt af bladranker.
Orglet er fra 1987, fremstillet af firmaet Jensen og Thomsen. Det er anbragt op mod nordmuren i skibets vestlige del.

Gravminder

Også i kirkens indre er det tydeligt, at den har en fortid som "herregårdskirke". I tårnrummet finder man to pragtsarkofager i marmor, som indeholder de jordiske rester af gehejmeråd Christian Ludvig Scheel von Plessen, død 1752, og hans hustru Charlotte Amalie Skeel. På tårnrummets vægge hænger kistebeslag fra kister, som står i en nu tilmuret krypt under kirkens kor. Her er personer fra slægten Skeel bisat. I en krypt under tårnrummet findes et antal kister med medlemmer af slægten Scheel von Plessen. I koret ses på sydvæggen et epitafium for rigsråd Christen Skeel (død 1659) og dennes to hustruer, Birgitte Rud og Margrethe Lunge. Ved siden af epitafiet findes en tavle med navnene på ejerne af Fussingø. På nordvæggen findes tættest ved alteret en slidt ligsten for Albret Skeel (død 1568) og hustru Kirsten Sandberg, og bag døbefonten en meget kunstfærdigt udført ligsten i sort marmor for rigsråd Christen Skeel (den ældre) (død 1595) og hustru Margrethe Brahe. Ved opgangen til prædikestolen hænger en kårde, som har tilhørt en løjtnant Erik Hermann Kaas. Han skal i lede ved sit krigshåndværk have hængt sit våben i kirken omkring år 1700. På korbuen ved siden af prædikestolen ses også et krucifiks, som stammer fra Skeelernes gravkrypt.

Runesten

I og ved Ålum kirke findes i alt fire runesten. To, som er fragmenter, ses i våbenhuset, medens to store og hele sten findes uden for våbenhuset. Den største af Ålum-stenene er speciel ved at dens inskription omfatter en kristen anråbelse.

- What is a Vaporizer?
Keywords: vaporizer, vape pen, vaping, e liquid, vape mods, weed/oil/wax/herbal/marijuana vaporizer, electronic cigarette, toking.
Thinking about trading in that hash pipe for a vaporizer? Let Vape Genie get you set up with the type that fits your lifestyle best! Smoking marijuana and tobacco used to be no-frills. You packed your favorite cannabis strain or dry herb into your pipe, lit it up, inhaled and fought through the blaze created in your lungs. Thankfully, times have changed and electronic cigarette technology is improving the entire toking experience at a dramatic rate.
Vaporizers (vapes) are removing that burning sensation in the back of your throat by removing combustion from the toking experience all together. Vaporizing provides rich creamy vapors instead of harsh chemical smoke as your weed is heated somewhere between its boiling point and its flash point. So now that we have you excited about the process, let's discuss the two major vaporizer designs!
Portable Vaporizers: Portable vapes are typically small square boxes that can be refiled and recharged by lithium ion batteries. Many models charge through USB connections making them convenient on the go. Another popular type of portable vaporizer is a pen. Vaporizer pens are aptly named for their long, thin body shapes while. Vape pens are designed to fit discreetly into purses, backpacks, and pockets making them lightweight and portable. Vaporizer pens can be used openly in public because they do not create second hand smoke or telltale scents unlike tobacco cigarettes and joints. The versatility of portable vaporizers make them the most popular way to vape.
Desktop Vaporizers: Much like a desktop computer compared to a tablet, desktop vaporizers give tokers more advanced vapor options but lack portability. Desktop vapes must be plugged into the wall which provides a steady stream of power leading to a steady stream of vapor. This steady stream of heat makes desktop vaporizers more efficient and potent. Some models of desktop vaporizers feature elaborate controls including touch screens and forced-air balloon bags.
So now that we have discussed the two common vaporizer designs, it's time to put something in your new vaporizer and inhale those delicious vapors! Deciding on the type of material you want to vaporize is a personal decision. We cover what we consider to be the main three categories of vaporizer substances: dry herbs, waxes, and oils.
The Dry Herb Vaporizer: The best way to vaporize dry herbs is to purchase a vaporizer that is specifically designed for dry substances. From cloves to cannabis, no one wants their stash to combust so be sure to purchase the glass inserts along with any dry herb vaporizer pen you buy. They cost about $10 and will ensure proper vapors reach your weed. Aim for a dry herb vaporizer that provides an air stream between 275- 350 degrees Fahrenheit. That vapor temperature range allows for proper vaporization without combustion.
The Wax Vaporizer: A personal favorite because vaporizing wax creates such a creamy rich flavor without clogging or leaking. A big suggestion is to purchase a wax vaporizer that includes a USB charger to charge directly from your smart phone or laptop. Many models of wax vapor pens offer rapid heating and wickless designs. Often wax vaporizers are compatible with a variety of extracts so going au natural and mixing your own blend is perfectly fine, if not encouraged. We like rechargeable Lithium ion batteries when using a wax vapor pen. They save money and last longer than regular disposable batteries.
The Oil Vaporizer: Refillable and rechargeable is exactly what we like about oil vaporizers. Depending on how portable you need your oil vaporizer to be, consider a desktop model or a vape pen with a larger refillable tank (2.0 ML+). If you are trying to fit your oil vape pen into a spall purse, you might want to choose a model with a smaller tank. Oil vaporizers are the most popular types of vaporizers because of their versatility. Everything from Cannabidoil (CBD), hemp oil and hash oil, to essential oil blends can be vaporized.
Debates rage on about whether or not dual and 3-in-1 vapes actually work equally well for each substance type. To err on the safe side, we recommend purchasing a vape designed for the specific type of material you will be vaporizing most frequently.
Whips: silicone or vinyl tubes from the vaporizer to the mouth of the user. As the user inhales, hot air moves across the herbs, marijuana, oil, or wax creating vapors which are then directed into his or her mouth.
Forced-air: this vaporizer delivery method utilizes an internal fan that pushes air across the material and collects in a balloon bag. Compressing the balloon allows the user to inhale the vapors.
Dual: A hybrid between whips and forced-air, dual vaporizers offer both types of delivery methods in one. Dual vapes are considered the cream of the crop because they are efficient and powerful.
The vaporizer lifestyle is portable, customizable, and discreet. Whether you vape weed, dry herbs, wax, or oil the verdict is still the same - technology is changing the toking experience for the better.

Despite widespread vaccination against measles in the United States, outbreaks continue to occur. Clinicians should be able to recognize its distinctive clinical picture so that isolation measures can be instituted promptly, susceptible contacts immunized, and public health agencies notified. Vaccination is safe for most people and should be strongly promoted for all healthy children.
Patients with measles are usually very sick with high fever, cough, rhinitis, and conjunctivitis.
Koplik spots—small bluish-white lesions on the buccal mucosa—are usually evident only in the first few days of illness. Soon after, a patchy red rash develops, starting with the face and neck, then spreading to the entire body.
Measles can lead to pneumonia, encephalitis, brain damage, and death.
Suspected cases should be isolated and susceptible contacts vaccinated or given immunoglobulin if at high risk of developing severe disease.
The diagnosis should be confirmed by serologic testing with measles-specific immunoglobulin M antibody.
Vaccination confers lifelong immunity and is recommended for all healthy children in two doses: the first at 12 to 15 months of age and the second at the time of school entry.

Measles continues to rear its head in the United States. Because it is so contagious, even the few cases introduced by travelers quickly spread to susceptible contacts. Life-threatening and severely disabling complications can occur, although this is rare. Widespread immunization and prompt recognition and isolation of contacts are key to controlling outbreaks.
This article reviews the epidemiology of measles, describes its distinctive clinical picture, and provides recommendations for infection control and prevention, including in immunosuppressed populations.
In January 2015, a multistate measles outbreak originating in Disneyland in California was recognized. As of April 17, when the outbreak was declared over, 111 measles cases from seven states had been linked to this outbreak.5 Of the evaluable cases, 44% were in unvaccinated people and 38% were in those whose vaccination status was unknown or undocumented. The median age of patients was 21, and 20% required hospitalization.
Severe acute respiratory illness. Measles usually presents as an acute respiratory viral illness, which typically lasts 2 to 4 days. The illness involves high fevers, malaise, anorexia, and the "three Cs": cough, coryza (rhinitis), and conjunctivitis. Patients usually appear sicker than those with more common viral illnesses.
From the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Figure 1. Koplik spots (arrow), indicating the onset of measles, in a patient who presented 3 days before the eruption of skin rash.
Koplik spots, which are pathognomonic for measles, are seen in the first few days of illness. They are bluish-white, slightly raised lesions on an erythematous base on the buccal mucosa, usually opposite the first molar (Figure 1). Spots can also be seen on the soft palate, conjunctiva, and vaginal mucosa. Koplik spots usually disappear after a few days and often are not appreciable at the time of evaluation.
Figure 2. Measles on the 3rd day of rash.
Discrete erythematous patches develop on the face and neck a day after the appearance of Koplik spots. This rash becomes more confluent as it spreads to involve the entire body (Figure 2). It typically lasts for 3 to 7 days, then fades in a similar pattern. The confluent nature of this rash and its spread from the face and neck to the entire body are characteristic of measles. Patients are highly contagious from 4 days before the onset of the rash to 4 days after.
Pneumonia—either a primary measles pneumonia or a secondary viral or bacterial pneumonia—is the most common cause of death.8,9 Viruses complicating measles are typically adenovirus and herpes simplex virus. Bacteria causing secondary infection are usually Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae and, less commonly, gram-negative bacteria.
Laryngotracheobronchitis (croup) is the second most common cause of death, with bacteria and viruses similar to those causing measles-related pneumonia.
Otitis media is the most common complication of measles. Other respiratory complications include mastoiditis, pneumothorax, and mediastinal emphysema.
Other complications of measles include diarrhea and stomatitis, which are associated with malnutrition in developing countries, and subclinical hepatitis, thrombocytopenia, appendicitis, ileocolitis, hypokalemia, and myocarditis.
No specific antiviral therapy for measles is available. Management involves supportive measures and monitoring for secondary bacterial complications.
The World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend vitamin A supplementation for all children with acute measles.19 In developing countries, it has been shown to reduce rates of morbidity and death in measles-infected children.20 In the United States, children with measles have been found to have low serum levels of vitamin A, with lower levels associated with more severe disease.

travel, Always a step ahead
From resorts to RV parks, parents take school year on the road
One of the places the family stayed, the luxury Montage Deer Valley mountain resort, now offers "Montage Academy" for distance learners, complete with an all-day monitored "study hall" and access to virtual tutors. Other hotels are offering on-site tutors and tickets for "field trips" at area attractions.
Explore5 small towns near Atlanta that offer more than just leaves changing colors
Anna Khazenzon, a data and learning scientist for the online study platform Quizlet, said the monotony of weeks stuck at home for school on top of six months of pandemic restrictions risks bringing on burnout for distance learners.
But there are dangers lurking in schoolcations as well.
"Formal schoolcation programs have the potential to create further achievement gaps between high- and low-income families, and more cost-effective versions should be developed, but overall there are many learning benefits for taking children on schoolcations," Khazenzon said. "If students are burnt out and under-stimulated studying at home, then they may not be engaged in class at all."
Jennifer Steele, an associate professor of education at American University, said that if distance learners don't show up for class during schoolcations, "we would expect them to lose some knowledge and skills." In addition, she said, the idea "exposes socioeconomic inequities in terms of people's inability to leave and go to difference places."
Since the start of the pandemic, families of means have decamped to second homes or taken long-term rentals in vacation spots around the world. With summer over, schoolcations offer others similar experiences, whether they're roughing it on the road for extended periods or spending on hotels and resorts trying to make up for a summer slump.

For Jayson and Tammy Brown, schoolcations for their three kids have been both ongoing and life-affirming over the past five years. The parents and 11-year-old Jayde, 13-year-old Jay'Elle and 14-year-old Jayson are used to traveling the world with school topics in mind, but the pandemic has them avoiding planes.
Before the pandemic, there was a trip to Israel at a time Jay'Elle was studying the Mideast. Young Jayson made science connections between rock formations there and bioluminescent organisms he saw on another adventure.
In South Africa, the family focused on Nelson Mandela, visiting the former prison and military fort Constitution Hill, which has been turned into a history museum on the country's journey to democracy.
The Browns have taken a few road trips within driving distance of home in Atlanta since March, and have more planned. Tammy, a special education teacher, is handling her students remotely. She and her husband make sure their kids log on to school when attendance is required.
"Oh we stay on them for sure," dad said.
What do the kids think they're gaining?
"I find it much more fun than school, being able to experience firsthand what I'm actually learning in class," Jay'Elle said.
Her brother's favorite part of all that travel? "The food, and the animals," he said.
The siblings are writing a book about their travels.
Terika Haynes, a luxury travel planner in Orlando, Florida, said all of the "school from paradise" packages she's recently spotted guarantee dedicated workspaces for children. Some are adding after-school activities, including sports training for student athletes.
Packages range from seven to 21 days, she said.
"It's a bit too early to capture numbers since these programs are just starting to roll out, but these programs are designed for those with more of a disposable income who are accustomed to luxury," Haynes said.
In Florida, the Marker Key West Harbor Resort began offering private tutors in mid-September. It has technical support available for kids, and educators to cover local topics, such as the island's literary history and marine life. There have been a handful of reservations so far.
The extras add between $225 and $250 to the room rate, which varies depending on the date and room type.
"Family vacations are the new field trip," said Lee Rekas, the resort's director of sales and marketing. "The virtual learning has been tough for a lot of kids. They're stuck on screens all day or sitting there at home, with their parents over their shoulders, doing work sheets."
Stephanie Gunderson, a stay-at-home mom in southeastern Pennsylvania, plans a two-week trip to North Carolina's Outer Banks in October with her four children — ranging from 5 to 13 — and their school-issued iPads. Her husband will stay behind to work.
They'll be staying in a small cabin close to the beach that they rented at a lower, off-season price. They're packing in their food and will bypass the usual tourist attractions.
"We plan primarily to stay in the cabin doing schoolwork. That's the No. 1 priority, for the kids to attend school but then having the late afternoons free to walk on the beach or walk on a trail," she said.
Breaux Walker and Edie Silver Walker prefer Stormy, the nearly 30-foot RV they bought for $17,000 just before they took off Aug. 8 from home in San Francisco with their sixth-grader and twin first-graders. Logging in to school and homework is mandatory, the parents said.
"We're working our itineraries around WiFi. We're using hot spots on our cell phones a lot," Silver Walker said from Ennis, Montana, about seven weeks in.
Reyne, the 11-year-old doing full days of live instruction, didn't miss a moment when Stormy blew an air hose in the middle of school in a sleet storm north of Helena, Montana, on Interstate 15.
"With her laptop and her headphones, she just hopped up into the tow truck," Silver Walker laughed.
Breaux added: "We're out in the woods every single day after they go to class. They're getting the coolest, most experiential, useful education every day."

You are here: Home / Political Parties / If Lieberman were a Republican, this would be news
If Lieberman were a Republican, this would be news
July 31, 2007 by Guest Opinion 5 Comments
Greg at EspressoPundit correctly summed up the media creation that was John McCain — he was a Republican who would blast Bush and agree with the New York Times editorial board back when no one else would.
Contrast the media's fawning and non-stop coverage of McCain with Joe Lieberman. If ever there was a story that deserves big headlines, this is it — a Democrat who was expelled from his party because he chose U.S. national security over Bush hatred.
"I think either [Democrats] are, in my opinion, respectfully, naïve in thinking we can somehow defeat this enemy with talk, or they're simply hesitant to use American power, including military power," Lieberman said in a wide-ranging interview with The Hill.
"There is a very strong group within the party that I think doesn't take the threat of Islamist terrorism seriously enough."
…"I fear that some people take this position also because anything President Bush is for, they'll be against, and that's wrong," said Lieberman, a staunch advocate of the war. "There's a great tradition in our history of partisanship generally receding when it comes to foreign policy. But for the moment we've lost that."
Lieberman was the only non-Republican in June to vote against Democratic efforts to pass a resolution expressing no confidence on embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. He has no plans to endorse a Democrat for president, including the senior senator from his home state, Christopher Dodd, and is open to backing a Republican candidate for president. Lieberman also startled Democrats when he lent his support to the re-election bid of Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a top target of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Filed Under: Political Parties
SonoranSam says
Lieberman wasn't "expelled." He lost a primary, and then ran as an independent and won election by drawing votes from Republicans, who nominated a stumble-bum, and independent voters.
I don't think he would have been allowed to run in AZ, having lost a Democratic primary.
But that's what primaries are all about.
Rex says
Lieberman represents the views on national defense and foreign policy once espoused in the Democratic Party by Scoop Jackson and Sam Nunn. I agree with much of what he says with regard to those areas of policy, but would point out that he is just as critical of Bush's missteps in Iraq as he is of the Democrats who think we can just pack up and leave hastily. Nevertheless, it behooves Democrats to keep in mind that the American people will need to feel that they can trust them with our safety and security before a Democrat is elected president again. Those are not my words; they were said by Indiana Senator Evan Bayh, another voice of moderation and reason in Washington.
However, I did have to chuckle when I saw Lieberman's backing of Susan Collins cited in Chad's post. Given her views on many issues that come before the Congress, I am sure she would be placed squarely in the "RINO" camp by many contributors to this blog. How ironic that Lieberman is lauded on The Sonoran Alliance site for his sensibility in backing a seasoned and knowledgable Senator from Maine…who wouldn't have a prayer of winning a GOP primary in Arizona!
Can we also get some quotes on Lieberman's views on Bush's economic and environmental policies? I would have voted for Joe over Ned Lamont if I were a Connecticut Democrat and am proud to say so. However, let's keep in mind that he has hardly become a fellow traveler with the GOP.
Chad says
Sam – You make a fair point – it was an election and Lieberman lost. He wasn't exactly "expelled", but the animosity of Connecticut Democrats, bordering on rage, led to the closest thing possible to an expulsion to push Lieberman into early retirement.
Judging from this article and some contacts on the Hill, he is not the most popular person in the Democrat party right now.
You could argue the same happened with Chafee, but with him, it was mostly an issue of frustration Republicans felt toward a left-leaning Republican. Chafee voted with his party only 40% of the time, compared to 90% for Lieberman. Despite that, we did not see the vitriol leveled at Chafee by the Club for Growth that MoveOn.org or the Kos kids shot at Lieberman.
Rex – I got to chuckle. I deliberately left in the comment about Susan Collins. I agree with you wholeheartedly that very few SA readers would happily help her in her re-election, and a more than a few would happily try to replace her in a primary. She definitely falls into the RINO camp.
However, the point is Lieberman, a lifelong Democrat, is helping elect a Republican. Whether he agrees or disagrees with Bush on this or that, the Collins' reelection may help get the number of Senate Republicans up to 50. At that point, the Dems can go back to being in the minority and the next Republican president will have a Republican Senate to help him with his agenda, due in part to a former "lifelong" Democrat.

Hasse, Dag
Success and Suppression
Editorial: Harvard University Press
Comprar on line Reservar en librería 2 / 3 semanas
The Renaissance marked a turning point in Europe's relationship to Arabic thought. On the one hand, Dag Nikolaus Hasse argues, it was the period in which important Arabic traditions reached the peak of their influence in Europe. On the other hand, it is the time when the West began to forget, and even actively suppress, its debt to Arabic culture. Success and Suppression traces the complex story of Arabic influence on Renaissance thought. It is often assumed that the Renaissance had little interest in Arabic sciences and philosophy, because humanist polemics from the period attacked Arabic learning and championed Greek civilization. Yet Hasse shows that Renaissance denials of Arabic influence emerged not because scholars of the time rejected that intellectual tradition altogether but because a small group of anti-Arab hard-liners strove to suppress its powerful and persuasive influence. The period witnessed a boom in new translations and multivolume editions of Arabic authors, and European philosophers and scientists incorporated—and often celebrated—Arabic thought in their work, especially in medicine, philosophy, and astrology. But the famous Arabic authorities were a prominent obstacle to the Renaissance project of renewing European academic culture through Greece and Rome, and radical reformers accused Arabic science of linguistic corruption, plagiarism, or irreligion. Hasse shows how a mixture of ideological and scientific motives led to the decline of some Arabic traditions in important areas of European culture, while others continued to flourish.

Q: Отличия и преимущества БД В скором времени придётся реализовывать в своём приложении базу данных.
Бегло ознакомившись, выделил SQLite, Realm, ORMlite, GreenDAO, Memory.
Но по официальной документации немного сложно сделать вывод о данных базах.
Хотелось бы узнать от Вас дорогие разработчики с чем лучше иметь дело и в каких случаях.

A: Вы поставили в один ряд несколько разные вещи.
SQLite и Realm – это СУБД.
ORMlite и GreenDAO – это библиотеки, реализующие технологию ORM (первая поддерживает многие СУБД, в частности и SQLite, вторая – только SQLite).
Можно использовать, например, напрямую SQLite без ORM, можно использовать SQLite с помощью прослоек в виде ORMlite или GreenDAO.
Если Вы до этого момента не работали с базами данных, то я бы посоветовал сначала покопаться с голым SQLite, чтобы понять, как это все работает изнутри. Как поймете – попробуйте использовать SQLite с помощью одной из ORM-библиотек. А уже после этого можете попробовать Realm.
Если в Вашем приложении Вы активно работаете с базой данный, я бы посоветовал что-нибудь из ORM-систем (ибо это удобнее, но в скорости проиграете).
Подробнее можете почитать по нижеследующим ссылкам:
SQLite, ORMs, NoSQL: what Android developers use and why
Сравнительное тестирование девяти ORM для Android

A: ИМХО, если хочешь что-то сильно кастомизируемое и гибкое, то это SQLite - это создание чистых SQL запросов.
Если что-то быстрое качественное и довольно мощное, то это - Realm. Все ORM библиотеки медленные по сравнению с этими двумя СУБД

A: Если вам требуется скорость то используйте голый sqlite и не используйте orm. Они все очень отстают по скорости. Если вам нужно хранить простые данные то можно использовать Cupboard. Она очень простая и удобная. На втором месте по скорости вроде Realm, но весит он много, т.к. тянет нативные зависимости для разных процессоров. Можно конечно указать в конфиге конкретные процессоры. Еще есть библиотека Requery. Она очень гибкая


Convection ovens can save you time, energy and money and because of these facts, it has become more the norm for ovens to come with a convection setting. However, as a still relatively new feature, many people still veer away from using it because they don't know what it is or how it works or had one burnt batch of cookies and are afraid to re-try.
It's true that convection ovens often require different cooking times and temperatures than the recipe calls for, but once you have that down pat, the result is worth the effort it took to figure it out.
In a convection oven, a fan blows hot air around the food throughout the cooking process instead of just coming from the elements at the top and bottom of the oven. This means that the food cooks quicker and more even than it would in a conventional oven. Shorter cooking time and lower temps also mean a more economical appliance for you.
The user manual for your specific oven will give proper instructions, but the general rules of thumb when converting conventional oven recipes to convection, according to the folks at the Canadian Living test kitchen, are: when roasting, reduce cooking time by 25 per cent and cook at the same temperature as the recipe indicates; when baking, reduce baking temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit or 13 degrees Celsius and cook for the same amount of time as the recipe indicates.
Don't forget to write down the new time or temperature so you don't have to figure it out each time you use the recipe.
For more tips and recipe ideas for convection ovens, check out our other blog posts or the recipe section on the Appliance Scratch & Dent Outlet website. You can also visit our store at 407 Gage Avenue, Unit #4 in Kitchener to browse our selection of convection ovens or speak with one of our sales people at 519-745-4737.

TLDC launches 'first' London whiskey in 100 years
Oct 19, 2018 by Melita Kiely
The London Distillery Company (TLDC) has released a four-year-old rye whiskey, which claims to be the first London-distilled expression in more than a century.
Bottled at 54.3% abv, The London Distillery Company Rye Whiskey LV-1767 Edition is made from 100% rye and is twice distilled. Only 251 bottles have been produced, priced at £251 (US$327) each. The expression has been matured for four years in new English oak barrels, said to give aromas of chocolate and roasted coffee, with cinnamon, stewed peaches and beeswax on the palate, finishing with white pepper spice, dark cherry and a hint of macadamia. Matt McGivern, head of distilling and operations at TLDC, said: "Everyone at the London Distillery Company are so honoured to be re-establishing the distillation of whiskey in London after so many years. "In new English oak casks, the liquid has matured quickly into a beautifully deep and sumptuous drop, with powerful notes form start to finish. "We've allowed a few highly regarded experts to reaffirm our belief that this is a special liquid and to confirm that this product is truly deserving to be called London's first whisky in a generation." In 2017, TLDC, which also produces Dodd's Gin, revealed plans to relocate to Battersea Power Station.

Speaking in the Dáil in support of Nurses and Midwives.
I spoke in support of Nurses and Midwives in the Dáil today. Our nurses and midwives do an incredible job. They deserve a living wage not a struggling one.
Labour's private member's bill wants a fair start for every child….pity they didn't give a generation of children a fair start when they were in government.
I reminded them last night that they brought in some of the most vicious cuts against the young, single mothers, the elderly and the most vulnerable.
They think we have all forgotten their shameful record in government. They got a surprise last night when I reminded them of it.
Of course Fianna Fáil sat meekly by and said nothing. But then they have nothing to shout about either.

America emerged out of darkness and light – a proto-nation clouded by the genocide of native Americans and the enslavement of transshipped Africans but brilliantly shot through with shafts of luminescence – the liberal ideals of European philosophers such as Locke and Hume.The alternate red and white stripes of its flag have thus come to echo a nation born in the blood of its innocent victims yet ennobled, in parallel, by the spirit of the Enlightenment. Yet even after its ideals were enshrined in The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the country continued to countenance slavery, the trading of domestic, purpose-bred Africans and the brutal killing of native peoples and their vibrant communities. Today, the historic and contemporary horrors of the American nation are ground together with its liberal principles (in some mythic bedrock mortar) to produce a culture that proclaims its goodness to its people and to the world, yet is visibly marbled with the evils of state violence against refugees and minorities, the economic oppression of a population paradoxically made comatose through over-consumption and the global havoc wreaked by its Imperial killing machine. It is this grand chiaroscuro that Eugene Jarecki explores in The King, 2018, his new documentary on the life, death and after-life of Elvis Presley, now in select release following its acclaimed debuts at the film festivals in Sundance and Cannes.
The vehicles for the film maker's ruminations are the man, born a twin in Tupelo Mississippi, in 1935 (his brother Jessie, still-born) and his one-time car, a Rolls Royce, manufactured in Crewe, Cheshire, in 1963, an era of intense antagonism in Britain between management and labor. Both vehicles are marked by their birth – Elvis shadowed by his dead twin and his mother's tragic love and the car ruinously assembled by bitterly resentful workers whose fellow union members went on, perhaps justifiably, to destroy the entire British automobile industry.
Elvis died at age 43, of a drug-overdose, in 1978. The car, now of a far greater age, survived its laughable lack of reliability long enough for Jarecki to capture rare footage of it running during the filming of The King. Elvis lays next to his mother in Graceland. Jessie remains buried in a by now decomposed, once beribboned shoe-box, in an unmarked grave in East Tupelo. The car will likely continue to be spared the crusher because of its royal provenance. This June, it was delivered to the new Hard Rock Hotel in Atlantic City where it will become a static part of their rock and roll memorabilia collection and thus can continue to dissemble as the epitome of regal transportation.
As the motor vehicle is trailered from Tupelo (with the occasional on-road cameo) – where a failed effort is made to identify the two room shotgun shack of Elvis's birth; to Memphis where he grew up as a teenager in public housing and made his first records with Sam Phillips of Sun Records, including the groundbreaking work of inspired cultural appropriation, That's all Right (Mama), written by the bluesman, Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup; to Nashville where he signed with RCA and made his first gold record, Heartbreak Hotel, in 1954 – various luminaries huddle in the back seat and speak portentously about Elvis, America and the World. Jarecki's approximate thesis is that the rise and fall of Elvis somehow reflects that of the American Empire. Chuck D, former front man of Public Enemy, wryly notes that if we accept that notion then the United States is overdosing right now. At the end of the movie, having established the King's pill-death, the credits unfurl over an unsteady image of the watery depths of a gold-plated toilet bowl.
Thank heaven for Chuck D and the risible Rolls. As a featured back-seat talking head, he refuses to be impressed by the legend of Elvis. The Rolls refuses to operate as a functioning automobile. Each embodies their histories of oppression – of underpaid automobile line workers or, more consequentially, of his race. Elvis exists as the inauthentic commodification of an authentic culture founded in enslavement and the lash. His reward for this impersonation is riches beyond reckoning (except by his Mr. 50%, 'Colonel' Tom Parker) but the material manifestations of his wealth are poignantly tawdry – his taste the apotheosis of the aspirational, but impoverished, Southern white. Elvis comes by this heritage honestly. His paternal grand-father was a share cropper, his father a convicted felon, his mother a sometime two-dollars-a-day seamstress, and his maternal great, great, great-grandmother reputedly the Cherokee Indian Princess, Morning White Dove, 1800 -1835.
Emmylou Harris (who wisely avoids the Rolls' back seat) asks at one point, why didn't Presley drive an American car like a Cadillac? A 1963 Coupe de Ville was undoubtedly a better automobile, but it was, of course, entirely lacking in the louche appeal of the Roller. Ironically, it represented a high water-mark in the history of the American automobile at a time when Cadillac could still credibly claim to be the 'Standard of the World' before its precipitous decline in the 1970's – unstaunched to this day. The Rolls represented a misguided automotive choice just at the time when Elvis's career moves were similarly inauspicious.
Over a decade spent making (mostly forgettable) movies, at the rate of almost three a year, a marriage to a girl he began seeing when she was fourteen years old and his firm alliance with the establishment as a proud sergeant in the U.S. Army consigned Elvis to irrelevance in the foment of the 1960's. His comeback TV special of 1968 occurred in a tumultuous year that saw escalating protests against the Vietnam War, massive student demonstrations in Paris, the rise of the Black Panther party, black power salutes from the podium at the summer Olympics, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy and in the fall, the election of Richard Nixon to the presidency. Elvis found himself firmly on the wrong side of political and musical history, allied to Nixon as a faux DEA agent, mute on the Vietnam war and about to be shipped to that acropolis of has-beens, Las Vegas, where he assumed the mantle of Fat Elvis. In record breaking runs at the International and Hilton Hotels he kept the money rolling in for himself and the Colonel.
Meanwhile, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Janis Joplin had forever changed the ways in which black music might be re-interpreted, or appropriated, by white artists; Jimi Hendrix ensured the continuing relevance of the generative canon of American popular music, and a host of black musicians made music that outsold Elvis. His white face was no longer necessary in the marketing of blues, soul and rockabilly nor in the selling of its anodyne amalgam, American pop music. He had been outflanked by the societal changes initiated by the civil rights movement.
The sub-text of Jarecki's movie, made at a time when the ascendancy of the Donald was clearly foreshadowed, is articulated by the back-seat pundit Alec Baldwin, who questions how, against all reason, we might become a nation of Trump voters. For this the Rolls has no answers. Neither, it seems, have its other back-seat pundits, Van Jones, David Simon and James Carville. In desperation, perhaps, Jarecki segues to apocalyptic footage of the Iraq Invasion, an Atomic explosion and the flooding of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The Vegas years, from 1969 to 1977 were lost to Elvis in a haze of pharmaceuticals – his ballooning body encased in ever gaudier, high-collared rhinestone jumpsuits, his music parodied in mumbled renditions of his greatest hits. 1968 was the inflection point. That year was important not for Elvis's TV special, but because it heralded a global return to some of the values of liberty, equality and freedom of religion that had made a brief appearance during the founding of this country. If Elvis established himself as a king in the America of the 1950's, it was not only because of his startling charisma and talent in interpreting black 'soul' music, but also because he was a white man. More generally, all white men could see themselves as kings in that era, even the most impoverished fully secure in their racial ascendancy. By the 1960's, that presumption was no longer tenable. In this were born the festering seeds of resentment against minorities, refugees and liberal ideology that characterize the Trump voter.
That resentment has now, ironically, been empowered by the urbanization of America, where liberal ideologies hold sway but younger populations vote less reliably. The influence of white rural voters is further aggrandized by the targeted disenfranchisement of minorities and the gerrymandering of congressional districts – such that vast areas of depopulated America are greatly over-represented in the Senate, House and Electoral College.
There is a final point that entirely eludes Jarecki and his assembled talking heads. In Tupelo, Mississippi (and elsewhere) Trump is the new Fat Elvis, a man suffused with self-loathing but who remains a cultural icon acutely attuned to the tastes and aspirations of a diminishing population across the rural spaces of this great land.


By the end of our previous post, I hope you noticed that we have reached a point where it becomes clear how reading and writing are two sides of the same coin. You need to be able to identify topic sentences before you can write your own. In Step 3, students were given arguments and had to provide evidence and explanation to support them. And we gradually moved into an exploration of how paragraphs are put together. We looked at effective and ineffective topic sentences (i.e., arguments) on the TLC "Effective Topic Sentences" page, and we practiced generating effective evidence and explanation. We also evaluated topic sentences and evidence to reinforce how important it is for these two components to be aligned and relevant to each other.
In Step 4, students are given questions and must answer them with arguments and relevant evidence and explanation. In other words, students need to generate their OWN arguments.
Depending on the grade they're in, students may need to review RESTATING the question in their response. Particularly when working on open-ended responses, students should restate the question to ensure that they actually ANSWER it. We will dive into open-ended responses in more depth in later posts. For now, one simple approach to reinforce the skill of restating is to set up a two-column chart with a list of questions on the left and space for answers on the right. NOTE: The questions should begin with either "Why" or "How" in order to set up argumentative as opposed to factual responses. "Why did George Washington cross the Delaware?" will set up argument that needs evidence and explanation. "When did George Washington cross the Delaware?" will merely result in a one-sentence factual response.
So, given that students have already had some practice in supporting other peoples' arguments, the thing to work on in this step is generating their OWN arguments when questioned.
ARE YOU A STORY DETECTIVE? Find evidence to prove your answer!
The scoundrels say that if you can't see the clothing they design, you must be stupid or incompetent. The prime minister falls prey to this trick.
"I can't see anything," he thought (p. 2). "If I see nothing, that means I'm stupid! Or, worse, incompetent!" If the prime minister admitted that he didn't see anything, he would be discharged from his office.
NOTE: This organizer isn't really just for stories. You can easily modify it for use with other genres. Also, after you've GIVEN students a few questions, see how quickly they can generate their OWN questions about the text.

Subject:Homeland of the Nez Perce Chief Joseph.
Wallowa Valley, summer homeland of the Joseph Band Nez Perce, was part of the expansive Nez Perce reservation established by the treaty of 1855. Upon discovery of gold in the region, the U.S. eliminated the reservation in the Wallowas in 1863. The Joseph Band held on until 1877 when, under pressure from increasing white settlement, they were ordered to abandon their ancestral homeland. Violent conflicts ensued as the Joseph Band joined other Nez Perce and Palouse bands on a historic 1,170 mile retreat. After five months of elusive flight, with his people exhausted, freezing and heavily outnumbered, Joseph in dignified surrender proclaimed: 'from where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.' With promises made by the generals at their surrender broken, the Nez Perce were never allowed to return home though Chief Joseph pleaded their case until his death in 1904.

Meet Ricky*
Ricky is a 10th grader at North Central High and has dealt with respiratory issues his entire life. His mother enrolled him in CMC's School-Based Healthcare Center (SBHC) at the beginning of the year.
In September, Ricky was sitting in math class and found it difficult to breathe and quickly notified his teacher. After a visit to the school nurse, Ricky was then referred on to Vicky Craig, the Nurse Practitioner in the SBHC. Upon arrival, Vicky listened to Ricky's lungs and determined there was limited airflow and his oxygen saturation levels were very low. After two breathing treatments, Ricky's oxygen levels were still low. Vicky knew that action should be taken immediately and that he needed a steroid shot from his doctor's office. Ricky's grandfather was able to get Ricky to the doctor for the steroid shot and then went on to the emergency room. Ricky's mother and family, credit Vicky and the SBHC team with recognizing Ricky's respiratory distress and saving his life through quick action.
It is fortunate the acute care services Ricky needed were only a few steps from his classroom.
Meet Caleb*
Caleb is a trained painter from Asheville, NC, who moved back to Westville, SC, to care for his aging parents. After suffering a heart attack and an arm injury, he has been unable to find work. After discharge from the hospital, Caleb was contacted by the Community Medical Clinic to discuss follow up care options.
He has been working with CMC ever since. Utilizing CMC services has been critical to Caleb's recovery because he needed necessary medication and lab work.
Because of the follow-up care provided by CMC, Caleb did not have to return to the Emergency Room for continuing complications.
Meet James*
James, a 52-year old man from Lugoff, came to CMC in 2016 suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), high blood pressure and diabetes. He was being hospitalized every several months for complications.
After coming to CMC, James is breathing much better and he hasn't had any additional hospital admissions. He has been able to get the proper medication and has received health coaching to help him manage his health more holistically.
On average, hospital admissions cost upwards of $28,000. CMC was able to provide James with the quality medical care that allowed him to avoid repeat visits to the hospital.
Not only has James received care from CMC, but his wife and son have also been able to receive much-needed medical care and medications to keep them healthy.
Meet Sally*
Sally, 38, began coming to CMC for primary care in November 2015. On a Friday night in April she was robbed at gunpoint.
Following this traumatic event, Sally came to CMC tearful and distraught. Because CMC has a mental health counselor onsite, Sally was able to make an appointment immediately to get the care she needed. Our counselor confirmed she was having standard trauma responses: little sleep fraught with nightmares, easily startled, flashbacks of the gun in her face and thoughts that she was going to die, increased anxiety and fearfulness, and a loss of appetite. Both our counselor and Sally agreed to address her distress in a holistic way.
Over the course of several months, our counselor met with Sally every week.
Sally learned relaxation techniques from her counselor so she didn't need medicine to fall asleep and feel safe in her home. She learned how to monitor the tension in her body as the first line of defense in managing the stress. She learned to visualize a comforting place in her mind where she could find a break from the onslaught of friends asking details of the robbery, nightly news of other violent crimes in nearby communities, how to handle a new employer who had become verbally abusive, and how to prepare for court where she would have to view video of the robbery.
As of today, Sally makes practicing her relaxation strategies part of her everyday routine, she is sleeping and eating again and said she is incredibly grateful for her counselor's support through this difficult process.
Sally's story is an example of CMC seeing the whole person who walks through our doors.
Meet Rachel
Three years ago, Rachel Sladek went to the emergency room to see a doctor. She didn't have health insurance and didn't know where else to go. After the ER visit, Rachael, a North Central High School alumni, was connected with the Community Medical Clinic (CMC) of Kershaw County where she was able to find a medical home and receive the care she needed.
"I was one of those people in the ER. I went because I had no health insurance," Rachael said.
Today, Rachael is healthy and now employed as a Community Health Worker with CMC. What really "takes it all home" for her is being able to provide the same level of care to others as she received.
The average ER visit cost $1,265, according to the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). In the past year, CMC treated 207 patients who would have visited the ER for non-emergency services. What would have cost over $260,000 in hospital bills, the CMC provided medical care for a little over $20,000.
By leveraging local resources the Community Medical Clinic empowers its' patients to take control of their health and well being. Rachel is here to be your bridge to better health. "If you have a healthcare need, I can help get you on the right path," she said.
Meet Jenny*
Jenny is a CMC patient who's husband passed away three years ago, leaving her without a source of income. Jenny had been living off of a small amount of life insurance from her husband's passing but that money was quickly dwindling after a recent trip to the Emergency Room.
Transportation to Camden was an issue, so CMC staff scheduled Jenny to be seen at the Refuge Baptist Church satellite office.
Through working with CMC, Jenny was able to complete applications for both SNAP and Medicaid, as well as charity care for her most recent ER visit that she does not have the funds to cover. In addition, Jenny has applied for Social Security Disability as a possible source of income. While Jenny is now receiving almost $200 a month in SNAP benefits, she is also receiving additional food from the food truck that visits DeKalb once a month. CMC staff have witnessed Jenny going from a withdrawn, depressed nature and into a more outgoing and joyful spirit. Over the holiday's last year, Jenny delivered baked goods to the Refuge satellite as thanks to the CMC team.

The Camargue is a breed of domestic cattle native to the Camargue marshlands of the river delta of the Rhône in southern France. It used for the traditional sport of course camarguaise, a kind of bloodless bull-fight, but not for the corrida, Iberian-style bull-fighting. It is one of two cattle breeds raised in semi-feral conditions in the Camargue; the other is the Brava or Race de Combat, a fighting breed. Since 1996 it has been officially known as the Provençal: Raço di Biòu.
3 Use and management
The Raço di Biòu has long been raised in semi-feral conditions in the wetlands of the Camargue, in the département of Bouches-du-Rhône in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and of the Petite Camargue, in the département of Gard in the region of Occitanie. It is one of two cattle breeds raised in the area, the other being the Brava or Race de Combat, a fighting breed. Both are associated with the rural and cultural traditions of the Camargue, including the gardians – mounted herders who manage the livestock in manades – and the small white Camargue horses that they ride.[3]
In 1996 beef from the two breeds of the Camargue, or from cross-breeds between them, received Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée status as "Taureau de Camargue". The name of the Camargue breed was changed to Raço di Biòu, and a herd-book was established.[4]:147[5]:99[6][7]
The population in 2004 was estimated at 5950.[2] In 2014 it was reported to be 5332.[8]
Characteristics[edit]
The Raço di Biòu is uniformly black, or occasionally dark brown.[4]:147 The mucous membranes are dark.[2] The horns are large; they are grey at the base, creamy white in the middle, and dark at the tips.[2][9]:186
Use and management[edit]
At pasture near Saint-Gilles, Gard
The Raço di Biòu is raised principally for the traditional sport of the course camarguaise, a type of bloodless bull-running in which castrated bullocks are used. In the ring, raseteurs must try to remove a cockade from the forehead of the bull. The bullocks are driven on foot to the arena by mounted gardians (the abrivado), and returned to the manade in the same way (the bandido).[3]
The meat of the Raço di Biòu, along with that of the Brava cattle breed and crosses between the two, can under strict conditions of pasturage and of zone and methods of production be marketed with the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée certification of origin as "Taureau de Camargue"; animals that have appeared in the bull-ring are excluded.[6] Approximately 2000 head are sold each year for beef.[4]:147
The Raço di Biòu is managed extensively in the wetlands of the Camargue. The cattle are kept in manades, and herded by mounted gardians.[9]:187[10] The cattle contribute to the maintenance of large areas of Camargue wetland,[9]:183 and are also regarded as a tourist attraction.[2]
The administration of the Parc naturel régional de Camargue participates in several aspects of the management of the breed, including registration of births and matings, and organisation of course camarguaises.[11]

It's that time of year when the leaves begin to change color and temperatures begin to dip. There is a crispness in the air and on some very special evenings, the moon rises lower than usual and glows in colors that rival the treetops — a harvest moon.
In celebration of this rare lunar occurrence, here is a free autumn quilling tutorial for a harvest moon pendant that can be rolled up in just a matter of hours. With three layers using multiple widths of paper, this pendant is a challenge to make — but when you have the right quilling tools and techniques, these step-by-step instructions and plenty of detailed photographs, even the new quiller can successfully tackle this project.
This quilling project assumes that you have some basic quilling knowledge. If this is your first quilling project, please download and practice this free basic quilling shapes tutorial before attempting the harvest moon pendant.
First things first: Download the free Harvest Moon Pendant pattern PDF now. All specific paper cuts, lengths, widths, quilling supply resources and additional step-by-step images are in the download.
Unlike many quilled pendants, this project is created entirely out of paper. Begin by quilling an outer ring using three strips of 1/4″ quilling paper (17″ length) and the 10 cm tier of a quilling form. A layer of glue between the strips will strengthen the ring and prevent it from becoming misshapen in later steps.
Once the glue has dried, trim away the excess paper around the pendant form.
Use a nail buffing block or very light-grit sandpaper to smooth out the rough edges along the seam. Apply a small amount of water with a cotton swab or your finger to gently remove any paper pulp residue.
Roll a closed coil using a 2.75 mm quilling needle form and a 4-1/4″ long strip of 1/4″ quilling paper. Attach with an ample dot of glue to the top of the pendant and allow to dry.
With the a 1/8″ wide strip in your darkest shade of green, create a closed coil. Roll one 17″-long strip with glue between the layers on the 5 cm tier of your stacked quilling form.
Once the glue has dried and the ring has hardened, cut a portion out (a little less than half of the ring) to use as the hill outline. Place glue on one edge and both ends of the semicircle and use tweezers to insert into the pendant. Take care to align the center of the hill with the top of the pendant.
Cut two strips each of the 1/8″ three lighter shades of green into eight equal parts. Quill them into loose coils using your slotted quilling tool; secure the ends with glue. Shape each coil into marquis.
Once all pieces are rolled, apply a layer of glue to the hill portion of your pendant and insert the marquis using your tweezers. Pack the shapes in as tightly as possible without allowing the marquis to change shape.
Using four 4-1/4″ strips of oranges and yellows, roll a closed coil with your quilling tool.
Paint the top of the coil with two layers of glow-in-the-dark nail enamel so that your harvest moon will continue to glow as the lights go out.
Glue the coil into place on the left-hand side of your pendant.
Cut two strips each of the three shades of 1/8″ violets into varied lengths (less than 2-1/2″ each). Roll multiple combinations of two or more colors into small closed coils and glue them into the pendant. Concentrate on the center and left-hand side for placement; the tree silhouette will cover a great portion of the right hand side and the coils will not be visible.
Cut the three shades of 1/8″ gray (approximately two 17″-long strips each) into 4-1/4″ pieces and roll into open coils with your quilling tool. Secure ends with glue and shape into whatever is needed to fill in the negative space of your background. Your quilling tweezers will be extremely helpful during this process.
To create the four swirly branches of the tree, you will need one strip of 1/8″ black quilling paper cut into quarters. Fold each quarter in half and roll into a loose coil using your 2.75 mm quilling needle form. Begin the coil at the folded point and roll about half way down. Remove the form and glue the straight pieces together. Once dry, cut to size.
Create the top portion of the tree trunk by quilling an open coil using one 1/8″ strip of black (17″) with your 4.5 mm needle form. This tool will help create a more open center, which creates a lean, long shape. Shape the coil into a crescent moon and place at the top right-hand side, as shown above. Pair with one of the branches and glue into place.
Quill the bottom portion of the tree trunk by using the same sized black quilling strip as the first coil but with your slotted tool. The tighter center will create a more densely formed coil. Shape the coil once again into a crescent moon shape, but curl down the points further. When glued into place, allow the top portion to break away from the trunk, thus creating a branch base. Attach the remaining three curly branches in any way you find appealing.
Now that you have worked so hard to quill this wearable art, you'll want to protect it with a sealer. I chose to use a quilling craft enamel that is painted on, but spray sealers and acrylic sealers are good options as well. When choosing a sealer, be sure to use one that offers UV protection (so your colors won't fade) and a water-resistant formula (so a little rain or sweat won't damage your pendant).
The last step is to string your pendant onto a cord or chain so that it can be worn as a necklace. I chose to use a leather cord and create my own findings, but you could just as easily use a store-bought version.
Autumn quilling at its best, this harvest moon pendant is sure to get some double-takes! The multiple layers provide a unique look, and, of course, there's the amazingness of it being entirely made of paper. It will be the perfect addition to any fall wardrobe, but you may want to consider rolling up a few more… It may be autumn now, but the gift-giving season is just around the corner!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I thought I needed to by lockets or backings to make jewelry like this! Your descriptions were awesome!
