Pattern Landscape
Exhibition Pt 2: 23 - 31 October 2021
02 Jan 2019 - 31 Oct 2021
Every Spring Lismore Castle Arts runs A Space for Lismore, which seeks to invite an artist to work with the local community in Lismore.
For A Space for Lismore, Carol Anne Connolly conceived Pattern Landscape, working with members of the local community to create a series of 'patterns' based on each individuals lived experience of their locality. The project examines the socio-historical relationship between nature and design by researching its manifestation in the locality of Lismore, focusing on the concept of 'contemporary landscape interpretations'.
In 2021 we invited Carol-Anne back to Lismore to develop another aspect of this original project, with just one participant - celebrated travel writer and Lismore resident Dervla Murphy.
The exhibition took place in the Studio at Lismore Castle Arts from 23 - 31st October. A printed brochure will be produced in November 2021.

Carol Anne Connolly's visual art practice is primarily concerned with the cultural, civic and social ideas that relate to 'place' in contemporary society. She draws from a variety of media, strategies and techniques to create work that is often driven by site-specific, historic and community intervention. In considering landscape as a reflection of our relationship and attitude towards nature, Connolly, through an artistic lens seeks to investigate, represent or re-imagine contemporary ideas that relate to our environs.
Participants & artworks
Helen Hardway | St. Carthages Gate
"I have always found the symbol on St. Carthage's Cathedral gate so interesting. Behind the symbol of the keys and the mitre so much of the history of Lismore is contained. For me, any time I return from being away I take a walk through the town and always stop at the church and when I look at the symbol it reminds me of many stories and superstitions that go with it, I don't know if they were true or not but it was interesting to hear them."
Peggyann McCann | Ice House
"The Ice House has been incorporated into the park in Lismore. I love it because it looks ancient but is not very old, it looks mythical but had a very real function, it looks like a dwelling but is for preserving fish. I love the rounded shape which reminds me of Slemish Mountain where I am from but also of a hut my father and uncle built for me from the branches of a tree one hot summer."
Carthage Power | Winter Heliotrope Silent Spring Ramblings with Petasites Fragrans
"On a spring Sunday evening ramble, benediction time, on Lady Louise's Walk, walls on both sides, imprisoned by concepts, perceptions and prejudices, my own and those inherited from others, trapped by my own language. Seeking?. What?. Asylum/. Refuge?.
A "border" of Winter Heliotrope, Petasites Fragrans, softens the walls to either side. What is this plant? Heart shaped leaves, pink lilac flowers, scent of almond, vanilla. "An invasive, alien species", a weed. What is a weed?
"A weed is a flower growing in the wrong place", answers George Washington Carver, the slave who became a scientist and devoted his life to improving agriculture.
"A weed is a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered", answers Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Nicholas Culpeper, botanist, physician, herbalist, astronomer, knew this plant's virtue, as did many who were grateful in times of plague.
In this, our time of plague, our winter of discontent, our time of malcontent towards nature and all creation, we strive to "eradicate" this plant, somehow, by removing this part of the earth's skin' this part of the earth's face.
Solvitur Ambulando. It is solved by walking. Walking on, striving to find purpose, seeking a natural state of being, through nature, as the Winter Heliotrope has found, walking, questioning, seeking to belong here, as the Winter Heliotrope belongs. Striving to escape the walls of my captivity, as the Winter Heliotrope has escaped. Trying to become present. Seeking. Sensing, presencing, truth, through nature. True nature. Finding unexpected treasure among the briars on the wall, in the eye of a blackbird, sitting precariously on her "U" nest, protecting her eggs through a wintery spring. Can we become aware of and understand the natural landscape and it's natural environment and their essence, diversification, without understanding and respecting this love?
Monday morning, silence broken by the blackbird's melodic wake up call, announcing a new day. Beautiful sound through the restful silence. Alive, calming, reassuring, yet repeatedly calling, coaxing, urging, imploring, pleading our attention. Hoping, that today, as the precious rays of spring sun touch the earth and her nest, precious rays of knowledge and wisdom come to inform our actions, to touch the soul of our awareness, opened through the eye of the blackbird, gifted to us among the briars and the Winter Heliotrope. Perhaps belonging is where we cultivate our capacity for such awareness. - "Carthage Power". "
Mattie Murray| The Bench
"I chose the bench because it's a lovely place to sit down, meet people and have a chat. I like the old stone wall behind with the ivy on top, and the greenery to the side... grass etc. It's a good place to look down on the Main Street and see what's going on. It's nice and peaceful there."
Carol Anne Connolly | Hand in Nature
"In the lower garden of Lismore Castle, in a shaded amphitheatre-like area a population of tree ferns grow. Wrapped in layers of straw and fleece they appear statuesque with their fronds arched over to one side. When considering landscape as a reflection of our relationship and attitude towards nature I am drawn to gardens and plants. They contain as much history of human activity as the buildings they accompany. Tree ferns are the most ancient of plants, existing on the planet for 400 million years. Due to human intervention some species face extinction in the wild through loss of habitat while others are preserved through the art of horticulture for their aesthetic appeal."
Helen Leddy | Horses of the Stoney Mountain
"As a child I was told why this stone house was on the mountain. It was a place where the horses on the Stagecoach could be changed for fresh horses, having pulled the coach up and over The Vee at Bay Lough. Now, all these years later, as an avid animal activist and a regular walker on these mountains, I have never passed this place without thinking of the strength and endurance of those horses as they pulled their heavy loads. I always like to think that the people inside, while admiring the beautiful views, also thought of the amazing animals that allowed them to travel. It is a very special place, holding an incredible story."
Paul and Kathryn Draper | Meditation on Burne-Jones Green
"Burne-Jones Green is the undercurrent and connecting pulse of Saint Carthage's Cathedral. When the sun shines through the Humility and Justice windows (by Edward Burne-Jones) some late afternoons the font goes green and can be seen glowing from the end of The Mall. This colour continues around the Cathedral linking ornate bossing to Chapter plaques to recent publications. The colour so resonant with the beauty of nature all around, is both peaceful and meditative."
Eugene O'Brien | St. Carthage's Church Window
"I admire the beautiful craftsmanship in the big round Church window. It's like a big wheel with spokes, and the four ornaments or icons in the corners are of the evangelists, with a lovely golden background. I haven't seen the like of it in any other church or cathedral anywhere. I can see it everyday through my front-window, as the church is directly across from me."
Ken Madden | Knockmealdown Mountains
"Though 'out of town' the mountainous landscape perhaps defines our connection with nature in so many ways. Its curved linear shape constantly changes in mood, tone and colour and may be the only 'piece of nature' visual for almost every inhabitant of the town itself. It is abundant in flora and fauna, spectacular streams and waterways. It welcomes all on foot, wheels and from the air to engage in its splendour. It challenges too. Its shapes our weather and from a distance tells us the weather. It provides industry in the form of farming, forestry and tourism - and an important history where pilgrims and many others have set out to & from and crossed. So for me the might of the Knockmealdown Mountains offers perhaps the greatest connect between town and nature."
Jim Cosgrove | Ecoese
"Regarding nature's varied complexions I'm always fascinated with the interplay between flux and entropy i.e the relentless cyclical flow of growth/death/renewal versus the attendant tension between innate order/random disorder which perennially pertains.Thus, repeated patterns, templates and formats vie with inherent idiosyncratic tendencies towards evolutionary survival and flexible adaptation. Time is a constant presence en-route, dutifully recorded in nature's own time-piece, the noble tree's growth-rings. From early childhood, I've had a fascination with deciduous trees, considering them wise, experienced and worthy of utmost respect, given the expansive witness they have borne through the ages. Ferns have always warmly impressed me with their generous, open-hearted splaying of fronds, proudly 'stanced', somewhat fragile-looking, yet robust and resilient. Lady Louisa's offers a rich capture on all of this, as the river of time flows endlessly by.
"Let 'concentricity' and 'eccentricity' thrive" -- nature's core mantra ?"
Two soundpieces accompany Jim's work, they can be listened to while taking Lady Louisa's Walk.

Windowed: This disguised browser allows Instagram uploads from desktops
By Hillary K. Grigonis	 October 12, 2017
Instagram stays true to the "insta" by only allowing uploads from the mobile app or a mobile browser, an often frustrating hurdle for DSLR photographers. But a photographer and engineering student has developed a workaround that tricks the system — Windowed is a free, open-source software that allows for uploads to Instagram from desktop computers.
The idea behind Windowed isn't entirely new. Since Instagram allows uploads from mobile web browsers, a bit of coding can trick the platform into thinking that a desktop browser is, in fact, a mobile one, effectively disguising the upload (a similar trick can be used to save Instagram photos). Windowed is based on the same concept — it is actually a web browser with mobile code, so sites like Instagram think you are using a smartphone.
Windowed was created by Felix Sun, a photographer that was frustrated with the process of getting photos from a computer to a smartphone to upload. He used his experience as an engineering student to develop a workaround, then decided to share the tool with other photographers.
Windowed is a mobile web browser for desktops — that means, according to the developer, that Windowed does not collect your Instagram information and does not have access to your account. The platform also isn't affiliated with Instagram in any way, which also means there is no guarantee that Instagram won't develop a way to block Windowed from uploading.
Instagram's mobile website doesn't have all the same functions as the app, though the mobile browser version is closer than before thanks to an update launched earlier in 2017. The feature to view and post Stories is also expanding the mobile browser options.
Instagram is growing at a fast pace — and if the growth continues, the platform will have users in the billions next year. Instagram is focused on instant sharing, which means the platform has traditionally made it difficult to schedule posts, features available for Facebook Pages and even Twitter through third-party apps like Hootsuite, as well as limiting uploads to mobile devices. While getting a photo that was not shot from a smartphone is possible through a camera's built-in Wi-Fi, AirDrop and file-sharing tools or emailing it to yourself, the workaround means non-smartphone photos are even less instant.
Windowed is a free, open-source download for both Mac and PC.

Self-Projection: Hugo Münsterberg on Empathy and Oscillation in Cinema Spectatorship.Robert Michael Brain - 2012 - Science in Context 25 (3):329-353.details
ArgumentThis essay considers the metaphors of projection in Hugo Münsterberg's theory of cinema spectatorship. Münsterberg, a German born and educated professor of psychology at Harvard University, turned his attention to cinema only a few years before his untimely death at the age of fifty-three. But he brought to the new medium certain lasting preoccupations. This account begins with the contention that Münsterberg's intervention in the cinema discussion pursued his well-established strategy of pitting a laboratory model against a clinical one, in (...) this case the "master-trope" of early cinema a spectatorship drawn from hysteria, hypnosis, and related phenomena like double-consciousness. Münsterberg's laboratory-oriented account also flowed from his account of cinema technology as an outgrowth of the apparatus of his own discipline of experimental psycho-physiology, which entailed a model of cinema spectatorship continuous with the epistemological setting of laboratory relations. I argue that inThe Photoplayand related writings projection functioned in three registers: material, psychological, and philosophical. Münsterberg's primary concern was with psychological projection, where he drew upon his own work in experimental aesthetics to articulate an account of how the basic automatisms of cinema produce a state of oscillation between immersion and distraction. I show how Münsterberg's experimental aesthetics drew upon German doctrines of aesthetic empathy, orEinfühlung, which Münsterberg sought to modify in accordance with the dynamic and temporal characteristics of psycho-physiological experiment. Finally, I argue that Münsterberg's cinema theory was enfolded in his action or double-standpoint theory, in which the transcendental self posits the material, objective conditions of laboratory experience as a means to know itself. This philosophical projection explained cinema's uncanny ability to suspend ordinary perceptions of space, time, and causality. It also made cinema uniquely suited for the philosophical emancipation of a popular mass audience. (shrink)
Constructing Parental Involvement in an Education Action Zone: Whose Need is It Meeting?Kevin Brain & Ivan Reid - 2003 - Educational Studies 29 (2-3):291-305.details
This paper illustrates some of the tensions and contradictions in schools' attempts to develop parental and family involvement through a case study of parental involvement in an Education Action Zone. It focuses on how schools constructed parental involvement, the kinds of work they engaged in, the issues raised in managing and resourcing parental involvement projects, the perceived benefits of running the projects and the likelihood of the projects being sustainable. It is argued that the models of parental involvement that schools (...) developed had important consequences for the role parents were allowed to play. Varying roles impose different kinds of demands on schools and parents and require different kinds of relationship between schools, parents and the local community. The more expansive the view of parental involvement, the greater the costs in running such projects and, hence, particularly in poor areas, the less chance of them being sustainable. Moreover, there were evident contradictions between the standards and inclusion dimensions of parental involvement projects. In particular, there was, and is, an evident tension for the schools around constructing parents as a resource for schools to tap into in the drive to raise standards and constructing the school as a resource for parents and the wider community to tap into in the drive to promote local regeneration and inclusion. This is being resolved in favour of the standards agenda. (shrink)

Teachers as Mediators Between Educational Policy and Practice.Kevin Brain, Ivan Reid & Louise Comerford Boyes - 2006 - Educational Studies 32 (4):411-423.details
Teachers obviously serve as the medium for causing the result of policy as they carry it into schools and classrooms and deliver it to pupils. They mediate between education policy and practice. Knowledge of the exact nature and effects of this vital role is limited. Drawing on a range of research and evaluation of both national and local policy in practice, carried out by the authors in England, this paper illustrates how teachers mediate policy and the resulting outcomes. Further, it (...) proposes a typology of teacher adaptation to education policy. The paper argues that as yet the appropriate professional role for teachers within policy?making and implementation has not been achieved, and outlines what this might be. Finally, it outlines some implications for teacher education. (shrink)

Teachers or Learning Leaders?: Where Have All the Teachers Gone? Gone to Be Leaders, Everyone.Kevin Brain, LouiseComerford Boyes & Ivan Reid * - 2004 - Educational Studies 30 (3):251-264.details
This paper traces the dramatic proliferation of leadership roles in English primary and secondar schools, due mainly to central government education policy of the past two decades. This has transformed schools from relatively simple to highly complex organizations and has impacted on the working conditions of, and demands on, teachers, together with many aspects of schooling. These changes are illustrated with typical examples of schools' leadership structures and their functioning. Interview data provide teachers' views on, and reactions to, the changes (...) in school leadership. The paper also reviews the ways in which teacher education institutions have responded in terms of providing initial and in-service education and training to equip the profession for this new and developing challenge. It examines the reception of such programmes by teachers and the reported impact on schools' management and the role of leadership within it. (shrink)

Neurophilosophy in Philosophy of Cognitive Science
The Neurological Approach to the Problem of Perception.W. Russell Brain - 1946 - Philosophy 21 (July):133-146.details
I much appreciate the honour of being invited to deliver the first Manson lecture, which, its founder has laid down, is to be devoted to the consideration of some subject of common interest to philosophy and medicine. I cannot think of anything which better fulfils that condition than the neurological approach to the problem of perception. The neurologist holds the bridge between body and mind. Every day he meets with examples of disordered perception and he learns from observing the effects (...) of lesions produced by disease, or by the physiologist's experiments, something of how the neural basis of perception is organized. It is possible to study perception as though this was largely irrelevant. How far that view is right will be for you to judge when I have finished. (shrink)

Unsettling `Body Image': Anorexic Body Narratives and the Materialization of the `Body Imaginary'.Josephine Brain - 2002 - Feminist Theory 3 (2):151-168.details
This article critiques contemporary feminist theory's frequent ocularcentric readings of the anorexic body as a surface of cultural inscription or as a paradigmatic sign of the female body's alienation through sexual difference. In an initial speculative attempt to find a theoretical framework that might sustain a more generative and embodied account of anorexia, I read anorexia through Butler's theory of gender as psychic `incorporation' because she problematizes an interior/exterior topography of the subject. This Butlerian framework proves problematic because, by establishing (...) an association between visibly queer gender and subversion, it effectively designates as hegemonic any sense of gender as a felt interiority. In a second framework, I draw on Prosser's anti-ocularcentric reading of transsexual `body narratives' derived from Anzieu's theory of the `skin ego'. Filtering Butler's theory of melancholia through this skin ego framework, I find a theoretical space for anorexia as a transitional embodied subjectivity which both re-lives and relieves the melancholic trauma of gender.

The Pulse Of Modernism: Experimental Physiology and Aesthetic Avant-Gardes Circa 1900.Robert Michael Brain - 2008 - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 39 (3):393-417.details
When discussing the changing sense of reality around 1900 in the cultural arts the lexicon of early modernism reigns supreme. This essay contends that a critical condition for the possibility of many of the turn of the century modernist movements in the arts can be found in exchange of instruments, concepts, and media of representation between the sciences and the arts. One route of interaction came through physiological aesthetics, the attempt to 'elucidate physiologically the nature of our Aesthetic feelings' and (...) explain how works of art achieve their effects. Physiological aesthetics provided the terms for new formalist languages of art and criticism, and in some instances suggested optimistic, even utopian, possibilities for art to remake human individuals and societies.Keywords: Physiology; Psychology; Evolution; Aesthetics; Modernism; Art history.

Aggression in Female Mammals: Is It Really Rare?Paul F. Brain - 1999 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (2):218-218.details
The view that female mammals are more docile appears to arise in part from imposing human values on animal studies. Many reports of sexual dimorphism in physical aggression favouring the male in laboratory rodents appear to select circumstances where that expectation is supported. Other situations that favour the expression of conflict in females have been (until recently) relatively little studied. Although female rodents generally do not show the "ritualised" forms of conflict that characterise male sexual competition, they can use notably (...) damaging strategies (especially if they are of short duration). Such considerations might weigh in the selection of strategies by our own species. (shrink)

Galen on Bloodletting: A Study of the Origins, Development and Validity of His Opinions, with a Translation of the Three Works.Peter Brain - 1986 - Cambridge University Press.details
For more than two thousand years, almost all doctors in the West used bloodletting to treat a great variety of diseases and conditions. In an attempt to find out why they acted thus, Dr Brain has translated the three works on bloodletting by the second-century physician Galen, which provide by far the most comprehensive account of the practice in antiquity. This is the first published version of these works in a modern language. After a brief summary of Galen's medical system, (...) the author goes on to consider the origins of Galen's ideas and methods, with particular reference to the Hippocratic writings, and the question why Galen, in common with most of the ancient physicians, believed in the efficacy of the comedy. The effects of bloodletting are considered in terms of modem physiology and medicine, and the possibility is explored that it may indeed have been beneficial in the conditions prevailing in Galen's time.

Leith: Related to the debt issue is how we all live in terms of the means that we have to live at a certain level of society. So, you've talked about living below your means. How do you do that? What does that actually look like?
Brad: … We did some research on this, and it's really interesting. The people who are at that surplus mindset, every one of them — as we looked at people, and we just looked at those people specifically and started interviewing and talking to them — every one of them self-described themselves as being very counter-cultural and intentionally living well below their means. So, what they did — and again, this is at all income levels — whatever their means were, they would actually intentionally try to live below that. So making individual choices to say, "Well, I could afford this; I'm not going to do it." And that's what it means.
And that's why it becomes harder when you start dropping below the median income, it becomes much more difficult to make those choices simply because housing is expensive, health care is expensive, all the things that are expensive. And so, practically speaking you get to a certain level, and it's nearly impossible to do that. If you're making $10,000 a year, it's virtually impossible. But that intentionality mindset around "I'm going to intentionally live well below my means" does two things.
One is that it builds margin into the system, so that you don't get set back because of emergencies or others. And frankly what it does — it's really fascinating — it cultivates this mindset of abundance and generosity, which actually I think are the keys. And in fact, what we've been studying more and more is generosity, gratitude, what we call a group — having a social network that supports what you are trying to do — and grace. Those four G's actually are some of the fundamentals to sustaining living well below your means. And, I think that's part of the secret of being counter-cultural in living below your means.

HOMESAFE PREMIERE NEW SONG 'STAY AWAY'
Illinois based based rock band Homesafe have premiered new song 'Stay Away' via Upset Magazine. The track is found on the band's anticipated, debut album, One, which will be released on 29th June via Pure Noise Records. The record is now available for pre-order at http://smarturl.it/homesafe.
Speaking on the new song, Homesafe vocalist and bassist for celebrated pop-punk band Knuckle Puck, Ryan Rumchaks says, 'Stay Away was one of my favorite songs to record for One. It's a song that sparked from an on-the-spot idea in the live room at ABG. It's definitely one of our most different-sounding songs yet. It has a broken-down, unplugged feel'
The band's latest single, 'Stay Away,' follows the band's recent release of their video 'Run' and 'Vanilla-Scented Laser Beams' which you can watch here and here.
Homesafe hails from the suburbs of Chicago, featuring members Ryan Rumchaks, Tyler Albertson, Emanuel Duran, and Joe Colesby. The band has self-released a string of music independently over the years, including their latest, riveting EP, Evermore, as they have developed and toured to a homegrown audience. Homesafe has now signed to Pure Noise Records ahead of releasing their debut full-length album in 2018.

Raffaello Sernesi (December 25, 1838 – August 9, 1866) was an Italian painter and medallist associated with the Macchiaioli group.

He was born in Florence in modest circumstances. After an apprenticeship to a local engraver, he enrolled at the Accademia of Florence in 1856, where he studied under Antonio Ciseri. As part of his training he made copies of the works of quattrocento artists such as Masaccio and Botticelli. In 1858 his father died, and Sernesi left the Academy in order to help support his family as an engraver and medallist. In 1859 he began frequenting the Caffè Michelangiolo and met the artists of the Macchiaioli, including Odoardo Borrani, who became a close friend.

Sernesi served as a volunteer in the Second Italian War of Independence in 1859. Upon his return to Florence later that year, he made his first plein air landscape paintings. Norma Broude says these works are characterized by "the azure and terracotta hues typical both of Tuscany's landscape and its fresco tradition" and says they reveal "a taste for rectilinear clarity in spatial and compositional organization". Sernesi exhibited his painting Pastura in montagna ("Mountain Pastures") at the Brera National Exhibition in 1861 and at the Florentine Promotrice in 1862. In 1862 he traveled to Naples and later to Ischia. He exhibited two paintings at the Milan exhibition in 1865.

In 1866 he joined Garibaldi's campaign in the Third Italian War of Independence. On July 16 he suffered a serious wound to the leg and was taken prisoner by the Austrians. He was taken to Bolzano for treatment, but his reluctance to have his leg amputated led to his death from gangrene on August 9, 1866.

Q: Regex brings all lines. I want to make PS script to find all password pattern in File server I am trying to make powershell scripts for search all documents and txt files to find Password pattern. Actually my code is working fine. My regex is capture password but it brings all lines.
Regex Pattern
""" .(?=.{8,20})(?=.[a-z])(?=.[A-Z])(?=.[0-9])(?=.[!^#+$%&{()=}?-|¨@.,:;,]).* """
Samples

My regex bring all Line. How can fix this error.
PS Code
$Path = "c:\users\XXXXXXX"
$output_file = 'C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\Desktop\Result.txt'
$ALLWORDS =Get-ChildItem $Path  -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

foreach ($WORDS in $ALLWORDS) { #
$Word = New-Object -ComObject Word.Application
$Word.Visible = $false
$regex = '\b.*(?=.{8,20})(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[!^#+$%&{()=}?*\-|¨@.,:;,]).*\b'
$Doc = $Word.Documents.Open($WORDS.FullName, $false, $true)
$paras = $doc.Paragraphs

See the regex demo. Note you need to use -cmatch operator instead of -match in PowerShell, or it will be case insensitive.
Details:

*

*(?<!\S) - no whitespace on the left allowed

*(?=[^a-z\s]*[a-z]) - after any zero or more chars other than whitespace and lowercase ASCII letters, there must be a lowercase ASCII letter

*(?=[^A-Z\s]*[A-Z]) - after any zero or more chars other than whitespace and uppercase ASCII letters, there must be an uppercase ASCII letter

*(?=[^0-9\s]*[0-9]) - after any zero or more chars other than whitespace and ASCII digits, there must be an ASCII digit

*(?=\S*[!^#+$%&{()=}?*|¨@.,:;,-]) - after any zero or more non-whitespaces, there must be a symbol from [!^#+$%&{()=}?*|¨@.,:;,-] set (replace \S* with [^\s!^#+$%&{()=}?*|¨@.,:;,-]* for better performance, I just wanted to keep the pattern shorter here)

*\S{8,20} - eight to twenty non-whitespace chars

*(?!\S) - a right-hand whitespace boundary.

Today we leave France after having finished the Le Puy to Saint Jean Pied De Port pilgrimage route.
A pilgrimage is a very personal experience. And when it takes 42 days you might have a few! People typically do pilgrimages to answer a key question in life or for religious reasons or just having an vacation.
I did it to give myself hope. Hope that I can still do things that exceed my expectations and limitations. To not let that inner voice, tell you that you can't do it. To really believe that my best days are still ahead of me. To be a source to inspire me to remain positive about my future and to keep dreaming big!
What metrics did I have?
The most important metric was i going to be able to walk the whole distance or was I going to have to bicycle to finish it?
Could I do it with the normal medications my doctor prescribed or I would I have to exceed the daily dosage ?.
Will my body hold up to the every day grind of walking with a 20 pound backpack?
Did I meet or exceed my expectations?
The short answer is ….yes I definitely exceeded my expectations.
I walked every day and I never bicycled. That was huge.
I never exceeded my medications, In fact, a third of the days, I used less medication. I did take a double dose to start every day but that was within the number of doses prescribed.
My body held up wells considering my injuries. The reason my right knee got hurt was because I tried to walk faster than I normally do. Lesson learned - walk my own pace. In the last 10 days, I walked my pace and I was able to walk 88 km in two days with 56 km the first day and 32 km the second day. My knees never had any pain or swelling . A great way to end the Pilgrimage.
The paths.Hands down the paths are incredible in so many ways. Walking along a road with cars is a very limited. Usually walking on a foot path or farm road with incredible vistas. The towns along the way are well persevere historic villages. The way is well marked as the GR65.
The Gîtes. Gite is the French word for hostel. The Gîte's were well done. They were mostly individually owned and operated. The owners had personally done the Camino and took great pride in their Gite. The dinners were exceptional. You definitely need to reserve a day or two events in advance. In general, the tourist information office in the bigger towns will help me make arrangements.
The French People. I did not find the French people to be rude at all. I did find that there was an expectation that you should be able to speak French or at least attempt to be conversational. This was definitely true for group dinners. It also generally assumed that Americans only speak English. If I do it again I will definitely take a French course.
The Food. I lost considerable amount of weight from walking, which was great because I ate a lot of great French food. The food was exceptionally good. To me the amazing foods included the wine, bread, chocolate, and cheeses. They were all very affordable. You could buy the cheapest and it was still really excellent. I have like I love affair with the bread. I just love the taste of it and the textures. And the cheeses...OMG. There are over 1000 cheeses. Try them all!
The Weather. The weather was variable. Could be 70 one day and 40 next day. It's essential to be able to layer your clothes. Bring some warm clothes.
You can't go wrong with walking this route. every facet is well done. Plan on spending 50 a day if you just want to relax and have a great time.
Waking up at 4:00 am to catch a 6:00 am train from Saint Jean Pied De Port to Bayonne switch traina Au Revoir and go to Bordeaux. Then bus to the Bordeaux airport. Fly to Milan. Catch the commuter train to Milan. Then walk a couple kilometers. Then dinner, laundry and answer emails..,.


Brotherhood's store at 1325 Palmetto St. in downtown Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES — Not that anyone needed further proof of the Arts District's cool factor, but streetwear brand Brotherhood has moved in and is set to open a store there Saturday.
The line, founded three years ago, has taken a 570-square-foot space on Palmetto Street, surrounded by the future offices for Spotify, a future Soho House, the currently operating Commonwealth boutique and, a few blocks over, the eventual home of Dover Street Market.
It wasn't difficult deciding on the area for Brotherhood founder Christion Lennon.
The line, the 26-year-old said, does well online where about 80 percent of the product is sold out. Brotherhood is also sold at specialty retailers such as Starcow in Paris and Wish in Atlanta, along with Journal Standard and Wism in Japan.
The store is stocked with T-shirts, hoodies, sweats and beanies from the fall line in addition to a collection of magazines. The apparel, much of it produced locally, is priced from $18 for socks and T-shirts starting at $40, to bottoms ranging from $80 to $150 and hoodies starting at $120.
For Lennon, who grew up in Pasadena and most recently was living in Costa Mesa before moving to Boyle Heights, the apparel industry isn't necessarily new territory for him. He previously worked at Us Versus Them and operates a recently opened private-label company that's done business with firms such as Pacific Sunwear.
Lennon grew up skateboarding around brands such as Stussy and Fuct. It's a subtle point of distinction that's made its way into the line and sets it off from other streetwear brands that skew perhaps more trendy, he said. Although, Lennon was quick to point out his line is not a skate brand.
While the assortment is mostly basics, Lennon said the plan is to get into more cut-and-sew product with a good pant offering for customers.
"I'm a big fan of American brands like Levi's where they've created a standard jean. I'd like to take that ethos and create a pant that's consistent," he said, estimating more cut-and-sew is likely to materialize in fall 2019.
It's a slow process with Lennon focused on not just the creative aspect of the brand, but also running a business.
More collaborations are in the works and Lennon said he's also mulling a possible shoe done in partnership with another company.

Q: Save Gradle JDK in AndroidStudio BumbleBee between runs In AndroidStudio BumbleBee, there does not appear to be a way to configure the Gradle JDK that persists between full builds of the target app.  Our app requires JDK 8 and Gradle requires JDK 11...
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.application'.
   > Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8.
     You can try some of the following options:
       - changing the IDE settings.
       - changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
       - changing `org.gradle.java.home` in `gradle.properties`.

We develop our Cordova webapp (JS/CSS) on Mac for desktop first and then port to mobile.  We do full builds, not incrementals.
Changing org.gradle.java.home does not work and might be too late as the JDK is already launched to run Gradle and parse org.gradle.java.home.
Changing JAVA_HOME sets the JDK for both our app and Gradle... and all other projects that use Java.
Chaning the IDE settings can be done manually... each full Cordova 11 build and launch of AndroidStudio.  Here is how we have to set the Gradle JDK in AndroidStudio preferences... every time we launch Android Studio.  Looking for a way to set the Gradle JDK in the IDE that will be honored between runs...

The dropdown includes the embedded JDK 11 that comes with AndroidStudio.  This needs to be selected for the Gradle JDK to successfully build our app.  Here is the dropdown...

Tried starting AndroidStudio from the commandline, where env variables can be set just for the launched process...
$ JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home" open "/Applications/Android Studio.app"
If there are no options in BumbleBee, are there plans for such support in later releases of Android Studio.

Q: How to upgrade MySQL database: adding columns, adding tables We are working on a project which employs MySQL to store our data. We develop and test on a test server before rolling out to our production server. During the development process, we make structural changes to our database by adding/changing columns within a table or adding more tables to the database.
How do we propagate these changes from our test server to the production server without destroying existing data?
Our test server is on Mac OS X and production server is on Red Hat Enterprise. MySQL is at version 5.1.39. Thank you for reading and helping.

A: I think this belongs to stackoverflow.
You can sql your changes in. either command line, or with a front end like phpmyadmin
 CREATE TABLE "table_name"
("column 1" "data_type_for_column_1",
"column 2" "data_type_for_column_2",
... )

to modify a table:
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD (   column_1    column-definition,
    column_2    column-definition,
    ...
    column_n    column_definition );

A: This might fit better over at StackOverflow, but I'll throw in my two cents.
This is part of the application deployment process that you'll need to figure out.  You need to take a look at the database schema on the production server and the schema on the test server and then figure out exactly what changes are required to make them match.  You'll have to go through table-by-table, column-by-column.  Depending on the changes required, it's possible that you can't do a non-destructive deployment.  Some changes are invasive enough that the only option is to migrate the data (sometimes this means exporting and reloading it, possibly with some data manipulation in between, but hopefully it means creating a replacement table in the production database and using SQL to dump the contents of the old table into it (possibly with some manipulation)).
In the future, I would recommend keeping database changes prominently in mind during the development process.  Always remember that you're going to have to get those changes into the production server, and if you track your changes as you make them and plan out how they're going to be deployed, you can mak the deployment a lot easier.

A: As others have said, this is a stackoverflow question... but hey, while I'm here...
Look into how modern web application development frameworks handle this problem.  Rails has an awesome way of dealing with it, called "migrations", that basically requires you describe each of your schema changes separately, then keeps track of the current schema version and applies the schema changes required to bring a database into sync with what should be the current reality.  It's a life-changing feature.

A: We tend to manage these in two ways.

*

*The good.
For Django projects we use Django Evolution which basically does the same thing as womble describes of Rails "migrations". It's a framework for managing model changes and automagically realising them.

*The not so good.
Where we a less fortunate and have to deal with PHP projects, we stipulate that developers have to check their SQL changes in with the associated code commits, to a common location in the repository. The SQL changes comprise of two things; a clean statement that modifies the database and a complete schema that reflects the new state of the database. We have some tools which simplify the process of collecting this information and putting it into acceptable formats. At the time of code deployment the SQL file containing the change statements is executed against the database.


A Scottish lady who moved in to Delhi with Dean, her husband, and kids seven years back. It was supposed to be a year long-stint.
In the process, she fell in love with India, especially Old Delhi. It is said that Pamela has made Old Delhi her own just as Old Delhi has adopted her.
It's through Pamela's love for Old Delhi that I know her. Through her blog Eat and Dust which connected us on twitter a few years back. She writes about Old Delhi, and wherever else life takes her, on her blog. She neither romanticises what she sees. Not does she patronise. She just writes about things as she sees them. The way one would write about one's home and one's people. The sincerity and warmth comes through.
Pamela also writes in The Mint Lounge. Largely about the stuff she bakes. Some of which are on her blog too. That's not my beat but I have friends who follow Pamela's recipes and swear by them. I look forward to the day I can taste some of her cooking.
I didn't expect to meet her when I went to Delhi recently. I thought she had gone to the UK for a break. Then my luck turned for the better.
I tweeted that I had landed at Delhi and immediately got a tweet from her… 'drop in for coffee'. She was leaving a couple of days later.
I called her up and spoke to her first time. We then made plans to meet for breakfast.
I was at Barakhamba Road and wanted to get a feel of a typical Delhi breakfast and not the hotel spread. It didn't have to be the best breakfast to be had for one's money or the most authentic. I just wanted to eat breakfast at a place where Delhi'ites eat. Normal folks. Not necessarily foodies or foodtards. I wanted to have a simple, uncomplicated bite of Delhi. The Delhi my mother grew up in and was the first Indian city that I visited as a kid.
I asked folks for options close to my hotel and one which came up was the chhole bhatoore at Nathu's or at Bengali Sweet Shop. Both apparently close to my hotel. I requested Pamela to join me and she readily agreed. That made life a lot easier for me as I had a packed day and didn't really want to miss out on the chance to meet her. Pamela was quite ok with Nathu's.
My choice of Nathu's invited raised eyebrows from a number of locals when I told them about my plans.
But that's so commercialised…that's not the place for chhole bhatoores….
In some cases, just heavy sighs when I told them.
Folks did admit that Nathu's is a place where Delhi'ites eat. It is a ten minute walk away from my hotel so met my other specs.
I headed out on a nice misty September morning to Nathu's at Bengali Market.
Pamela and I reached at the same time and I saw her waiting outside Nathu's.
I did the British thing and said, "lovely weather".
"You think so? It's too damp and all of us in Delhi are getting tired of it".
Yes, she had 'gone native'. As we took a seat, Pamela told me about her impending trip back to Scotland.
We chatted as we waited for our lassis as Pamela told me about how she had fallen in love with India. How her book on Old Delhi got commissioned and how she's still hard at it. She told me of her stories from Old Delhi. The Arabian Night-like Daulat Ka Chaat…the making of which turned out to be more Wasseypur grit and grime as she found out. The kebab- wallahs who had invited her home and whose wives had cooked for her. They had opened their homes to her but wouldn't part with the secret of their masalas. The Durga Puja at Kashmere Gate which she spoke about with more fervour than even any Bengali could about Durga Puja. Her love for the food in the little places in Old Delhi versus five star nights that often left her cold with their excesses.
Like everyone I met at Delhi, she turned out to be a fan of my mother's posts and even showed me one of my mom's posts that she had bookmarked on her iPad.
Our lassis arrived and we both frowned at the paper cups. Where were the kulhars (earthen cups) or at least the standard dhaba lassi glasses?
I had been warned that the Nathu's of the world saw the Golden Arches as their role model or so the general belief is amongst the fooderatti of Delhi. The blasted paper cup an example of that I guess.
The lassi was sweet, full cream, flavoured with a touch of saffron…full of Punjabi goodness. Sans malai in testimony to modern dietary fads. Well if this is what Delhi drank for breakfast then it would work for me. I was going to be a well behaved guest. Not the way I was when I came to Delhi when I was 5 and would visit folks places for dinner and when done tell my grandpa 'now we can go'.
Pamela went for an uthapa but I couldn't have a 'Madrasi' (politically correct as the term is) dish in Delhi could I?
Channa bhature it was for me.
I am so used to chhole with bhature that the black gram channa with its robust earthiness was an interesting contrast to the usual chubby and indulgent chhole (chickpeas). The channa tasted more like home cooked food that the oily chhole does. Tad salty though. Something which I later found characterises the street food of Delhi. This is a city that's seemingly high on BP.
I quite liked the soft carby crunch of the bhatoores though local purists pointed out that the bhatoores in my photos looked crisper than they should be.
I am sure that they are right but I got the Delhi breakfast that I wanted and got to have it with one of Delhi's proudest daughters.
And Pamela got to pick up some gulab jamuns for her sons who I am told just love the stuff.
Sometimes I wonder if we lose out on life in the search for the perfect experience. Putting down folks who enthusiastically talk about something they liked with an 'oh but so and so is so much better than that'. Perhaps food is to be enjoyed and not idolised. Perhaps the 'right way', 'the authentic way' or 'the best way' are over-rated when it comes to food.
Or perhaps am I just going through a phase.
Well, for the moment all I can do is sit quietly and wait for Pamela's book on Old Delhi. Perhaps I will find some answers there.
In case you were wondering Pamela doesn't run down Karim's in Old Delhi and politely says that there are a few things worth trying there.
It's been years, YEARS since I ate good Chana bhature. I have very fond memories of good pindi chana and crisp-soft-chewy bhature eaten at the old Cream Centre at Chowpatty (before they became big and bad) with my grandparents as a holiday treat. Also, a Punjabi Ghasitaram in Chembur would make some lovely chana bhature that he'd serve with a side of tangy-sweet lemon pickle that I loved dunking the salty bhature into. I think they're gone now. Sigh. What a wonderful trip down memory lane. Thanks, Kalyan!
Looks like you had an amazing trip to Delhi, in every possible way.
Yeah, both Cream Center and Kailash Parbat have deteriorated over the years. When they were good old, stand alone establishments, they dished out some really delectable stuff. What a pity they aren't the same anymore.

Ionis Pharmaceuticals is on a roll. Days after securing regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Tegsedi, the company inked a deal worth more than $700 million with pharma giant Roche to develop IONIS-FB-L for the treatment of complement-mediated diseases.
IONIS-FB-L is an antisense drug that used the company's LIgand Conjugated Antisense (LICA) technology. It is designed to reduce the production of FB, a key protein in the complement innate immune system. FB is predominately produced in the liver and circulates throughout the vascular system, including vessels in the eye and kidney. When over-activated, the FB protein has been associated with the development of several complement-mediated diseases, including dry age-related macular degeneration.
Ionis and Roche will harness the medication as a potential treatment for patients with Geographic Atrophy (GA), the advanced stage of dry AMD. A Phase II study is planned for early 2019, Ionis said. In a Phase 1 study in 54 healthy volunteers, IONIS-FB-L reduced plasma FB and was safe and well tolerated.
About 90 percent of all age-related macular degeneration cased are considered dry. Dry AMD is the leading cause of blindness in the U.S. and developed countries. This disease is expected to affect up to 3 million people in the U.S. and 196 million people worldwide by 2020, Ionis said. Geographic Atrophy, the first indication the two companies are tackling, is a late-stage manifestation of dry AMD that is caused by a progressive loss of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, photoreceptor cells and choriocapillaris in the central retina. Patients with GA experience trouble with facial recognition, decreased reading speeds and difficulty driving at night. It ultimately causes blindness. It is estimated that more than 5 million people worldwide suffer from GA, a disease with no approved therapies, Ionis said.
Under the terms of the deal with Roche, Ionis will initially receive an upfront payment of $75 million. The company will be eligible to receive up to $684 million in development, regulatory and sales milestone payments and license fees depending on how the drug fares through the clinic and if it gains regulatory approval. As part of the agreement, Ionis will be responsible for conducting a Phase II study in patients with dry AMD and exploring the drug in a rare severe renal indication. Roche has the option to license IONIS-FB-L at the completion of the studies. Upon licensing, Roche will be responsible for all global development and commercialization activities.
Ionis said the collaboration with Roche is designed to maximize both the potential benefit to patients and the likelihood of success, while optimizing our commercial participation in IONIS-FB-L, said Brett P. Monia, chief operating officer at Ionis said in a statement. The two companies are also collaborating on the development IONIS-HTT (RG6042), an antisense drug for the treatment of people with Huntington's disease.
"Our antisense technology is the first to demonstrate robust, dose-dependent and sustained reduction of FB in a clinical study. We believe that we have found the right partner whose experience in retinal disease drug development and commercialization will enhance our efforts to effectively develop IONIS-FB-L for patients who currently have no adequate treatment options," Monia added.

Q: Making parts of text bound to each other I wonder, how do I force parts of text staying on the same page/column together so if there is not enough space all of them would be transferred to another page/column.
In the image you can see the way it is happening at the moment. I want the part of the text in the lower left to be connected with the one in the upper right. Is there a way to force it without manual insertion of \newpage and staff?


So, I got more hours at the day job and a raise at the new project support freelance gig! Nice! I'm still an independent contractor at the day job though. No insurance and I have to pay an extra 7.65% of my wages to the government for almost a full year at this job? Not cool!!
Now, after what may be my shortest post here ever, I'm going to go fight more T-Rexaurs at the Training Center.


At 5:00 am Sunday morning, three-year-old Tamar Ben-Zvi, a Jerusalem native and lifelong Beatles fan, woke up with a letter taped to her pink Hello Kitty purse.
How are you, baby girl? I know you might be sad right now, and maybe mad at me. I'm surely sorry if my leaving town so suddenly has upset you.
Imagining you in tears makes me feel weak on the outside and cold on the inside.
Still, I think the time has come for me to embark on new adventures with new people.
Don't blame yourself. It's not you, it's me. When you were first born, we had some wild times.
Remember when you were 11 days old, and your mom and dad took you out for the first time in a taxi? When the driver with the sparkling gold tooth started yelling at your parents because little babies must not leave home for at least 40 days, you clung to me for dear life! We got through that ride, and a few other detours as well.
How about when we were all living in Nachlaot and your belly hurt so badly one night that you screamed like a banshee for three hours straight? As the June light turned to moonlight, your pop held you tight and walked with you around the courtyard. Still you cried. Your dad was so worried. He was scared that you'd cry forever! He was also afraid that the funny old neighbor with the big ears, small eyes and onion smell would call the cops.
Yet, your old man came through for you like a champ. Soon enough, the pain passed and you fell into a deep, dark sleep.
Tamar, I didn't leave you because you did something wrong. I left because of everything you've done right.
What a perfect pleasure it was to watch you grow up! When you first tried to crawl, in our new apartment in Old Katamon, I was there with you. When you first stood tall, down in South Africa, that was me by your side. When the streets of Jerusalem became your stomping ground, I became your partner in crime.
Thing is, now you're saying more and more words every day, in two languages! There's no place for an old, beaten up pacifier in your mouth.
There's so much to talk about: new school, new friends, your baby sister, ice cream, presents, your Saba, your Nona, and everyone else who loves you.
And let's not forget all the songs there are to sing.
How can you possibly talk, sing, laugh, shout and cheer with me in the way?
You can't. So, it's time to hit the road. After all, there a lot of tiny babies who could use a friend like me, don't you think?
Tamar, no matter where I go and who I meet, you will always be my first love.
Now, get out there and give life a great big hug and kiss!
P.S. Tell Smurfette she owes me fifty shekels.

The venerable New Zealand Merino craftspeople at Icebreaker have been making some of the best wool layers for a long time. But next season they'll really up their game by launching what they call "a new generation" of midlayers. This new line will be made by wrapping the all-natural Merino Wool around a nylon core, which should make the midlayers warmer, stronger, and lighter. The Atom series (pictured here) will include a touch of Lycra to create a comfortable, form-fitting mid-layer. But we're most excited about the revamped "Realfleece" product. The previous versions did a good job of keeping testers warm and shedding off the elements, but they were also pretty bulky. The new fabric has been brushed to create millions of air pockets to double the garments' warmth while keeping 'em lightweight and thin. The new Realfleece collection will come in a variety of models, including a pull-over hoodie, vest, and long-sleeve zipper.


Kids' Outdoor Science Camp, held at 4-H Camp Palmer near Harrison Lake State Park in Fayette, Ohio is normally held in the first or second week of June. This popular camp is open to any youth having completed grades 3 through 8 living in the three state area.
Exciting programs will evolve around a different them each year relating to conservation of our natural resources. Campers will explore and research how the environment and agriculture affect their daily lives. They will also have the opportunity to climb high ropes, hike, swim, and canoe along with a host of traditional camp activities including crafts, evening dances and campfire programs.
The camp fee is about $150 and covers all program supplies for the four day and three night event, which includes meals, overnight accommodation, activities, and many great camp experiences.
Campers are supervised by a team of trained teen counselors, adult staff, and a nurse who is at camp throughout the week. Delicious meals are provided family style and modern cabins with bunk beds help to develop friendships and social skills.
The capacity of this camp is large but not unlimited. Early registration is very important to insure acceptance, as camp could fill up before the May 18th deadline.
The Kids' Outdoor Science Camp is sponsored in cooperation with the Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Ohio State University Extension Offices of Northwest Ohio. For further information or to obtain a registration form for Fulton County residents, please call the Fulton Soil & Water Conservation Office (419-337-9217) or click this link for Kids' Outdoor Science Camp Application and Health History Form. Fulton SWCD is offering $30 scholarships to all Fulton County students attending Kids' Outdoor Science Camp (see registration form).
The Envirothon is a multi-disciplinary, environmental problem-solving culminating a series of annual competitions. Teams of five high school students (grades 9-12) train and compete in the areas of soils, aquatics, wildlife, forestry, and current environmental issues at regional, state and national levels.
The Envirothon program originated in Pennsylvania in 1979 as a hands-on, outdoor competition to test high school students' knowledge of natural resources and environmental issues. The Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts sponsored it.
In 1988, the original name, Enviro-Olympics was changed to Envirothon. That year, Pennsylvania hosted the first National Envirothon, which consisted of teams from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Ohio. The first Ohio Envirothon was held the following year. Six teams participated, with students from East Knox High School Capturing first place and representing Ohio in the 1989 National Envirothon.
In 1990, the Envirothon grew dramatically in Ohio, with more than sixty teams participating in four Area Envirothons. Ohio hosted the National Envirothon that year near Zanesville with Maine, Maryland, and New York joining the competition.
By 1993, the Envirothon was well established in Ohio and on its way to becoming a truly national program. More than three hundred students participated in five Area Envirothons in Ohio. The 1993 National Envirothon was held at Niagara Falls, New York and attracted teams from nineteen states and one Canadian province. The program has grown every year since the 1988 competition in Pennsylvania when just three states competed to the thirty-two states and three Canadian provinces participating in the 1996 national competition held in Nebraska. Nova Scotia hosted the 2000 National Envirothon.
In Ohio, the Envirothon continues to grow as more and more high school students take the opportunity to display their knowledge of the environment. Ohio's Soil and Water Conservation Districts sponsor five Area Envirothons each year and welcome new high school students to join in this exciting and rewarding educational experience. Learn about the current year Area 1 Envirothon.

Q: Yii2 REST create with fields() Let's say that I had the following API set up:
Controller:
<?php
namespace app\modules\v1\controllers;

use yii;

class ResourceController extends \yii\rest\ActiveController
{
    public $modelClass = 'app\modules\v1\models\Resource';
}

Model:

use yii;

class Resource extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
{

    public static function tableName()
    {
        return 'ResourceTable';
    }

    public function fields()
    {
        return [
            'id' => 'ResourceID',
            'title' => 'ResourceTitle',
        ];
    }
}

where my table only has the two columns, ResourceID and Title.
When I try a GET request on the API, it works fine and returns the list of resources (or single resource in the case of resource/{id}) with the aliased field names. But when I try to POST to create a resource, I want to use the aliased field names (e.g. title instead of ResourceTitle). The problem is that the default CreateAction supplied by Yii does $model->load(), which looks for the field names in the table. If I use the aliased names then it returns an error. If I use the table field names, it works fine.
So my question is, is there a way to expose resource attributes to the end user where the field names (using the fields() function) are the same for reading and creating? If possible, I'd like to avoid writing my own CreateAction.

A: It's necessary to add rules for new virtual properties, if you want to $model-load() save parameters to them
class OrganizationBranch extends BaseOrganization{

public function rules()
    {
        return array_replace_recursive(parent::rules(),
        [
            [['organizationId', 'cityId'], 'safe'],
        ]);
    }

    public function fields() {
        return ['id',
                'cityId' => 'city_id',
                'organizationId' => 'organization_id',
                'address',
                'phoneNumbers' => 'phone_numbers',
                'schedule',
                'latitude',
                'longitude',
        ];
    }

    public function extraFields() {
        return ['branchType', 'city'];
    }

    public function getOrganizationId() {
        return $this->organization_id;
    }

    public function setOrganizationId($val) {
        $this->organization_id = $val;
    }

    public function getCityId() {
        return $this->city_id;
    }

    public function setCityId($val) {
        $this->city_id = $val;
    }

}

A: You can create getters/setters for alias.
public function getTitle(){ return $this->ResourceTitle; }
public function setTitle($val){ $this->ResourceTitle = $val ; }


A new secured identification system has gone operational in Cameroon. The Secretary General at the Presidency of the Republic, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh launched the system and inaugurated its centre on August the 9th 2016 in Yaounde.
Minister Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh observed that the new system was developed to counter the falsification of documents and will help the General Delegation for National Security to produce crime statistics and trace records of suspects.
Cameroon state radio and television reported that the machines are set up to produce up to about 600 identity cards per hour. According to GEMALTO, the company running the new ID scheme, the cards are polycarbonates and include the use of advanced technology and software; a system they say is currently being solicited by many countries around the world.
Information filtered out that after the Yaounde centre for production situated at the Police Medical Centre, an annex centre will be created in Garoua and then 50 mobile posts will be established all over the country before the end of 2016. The CPDM regime recently announced that the old National Identity Cards will remain in use till they expire.


Malta – history & scenery that will amaze you!
For those of you who might not know where this little jewel of the Mediterranean is – it's about 93km south of Sicily & 300 Km off the coast of North Africa.
We got there on a flight out of Frankfurt via Brussels (with a direct flight to Frankfurt on our return). My wife & I picked Malta because we wanted somewhere to spend the first week of January that was warmer & sunnier than Germany – that means travelling south or East. We didn't want long flights as we only had a seven day window for our "Wintersun" break.
As fully fledged Aussies we need our sunshine & the 6 month German winter deprives us of that – so this is our chance to recharge those solar batteries of ours to help us make it through the second half of winter!
have over 300 days of sunshine each year. Whilst we were there we had sunshine every day & temperatures of up to 15C which, when you are living in temperatures hovering around zero, is positively balmy!
I was surprised at the history of Malta & the crucial role the islands & her people have played through history. We stayed on the main island of Malta, at a place called Xemxija (near St Paul's Bay) – it's about 30 minutes drive from the capitol Valetta. We would start each day with a short stroll from our apartment to the Xemxija Café, where we would have breakfast, before heading out to explore the island.
If you ever get the chance to come here, take it – you won't be disappointed! In summer, there are beaches and innumerable water sport activities in addition to the historic sites & buildings that are scattered everywhere.
Templar) – today it is known as the Mediteranean Conference Centre but the story it tells is staggering in its depth & impact on western society.
We spent New Year's eve in Valetta – starting at St. George's Square, which is the main public space. It was set up with a stage for the evening's festivities with over 25,000 people expected during the evening (for a place with a population of 450,000 that's a big crowd!).
as it turned out, was a great decision as we ended up meeting some locals who ended up taking us around the island a few days later!
We also went to the second island, Gozo, where we took advantage of a "Hop on hop off" bus tour to see the main sights.
Getting to this island was easy – we caught a bus which went through Mellieha to Cirkewwa, where we caught the ferry (it's only a 30 min ferry trip). The highlight of the day for me was the Citadella & the Ġgantija temple complex from the Neolithic era.
Public transport on Malta is cheap & reliable (albeit crowded at times). It only costs 1.50 Euros for a 2 hour travel pass which allows you to go anywhere within that time frame. The ferry to Gozo was 4.75 Euros return! If you are going to do a lot of travelling around you can get weekly & monthly passes which work out to be even cheaper!
One of the highlights of this trip though was being shown the island through the eyes of a couple of locals – Martin & Josephine. They picked us up at 10am the day prior to our return to Frankfurt & we spent the whole day with them, being shown the Malta they know & love – it was very special.
They took us on a tour of the three cities & we had lunch in Bajja, an old fishing village, at a restaurant right on the water. Followed by a trip to see "Smart City" at Kalkara which is so different to all the historic architecture everywhere else on the island. We finished the day with a visit to their home where we were treated to some traditional Maltese cakes before being dropped back to our apartment.
This is one of the truly wonderful experiences you can have whilst travelling – to meet with locals who you connect with & who are so enthusiastic to show you their homeland. No organised tour comes close!
In no time at all our 8 days were up & it was time to come back to Frankfurt. We will definitely be back here &, hopefully, we will get to spend more time with our new Maltese friends.

TAG Heuer Debuts Limited-Edition Monaco Grand Prix de Monaco Historique
Luxury Swiss watch brand TAG Heuer has been announced as the official timekeeper and sponsor for the Grand Prix Historique de Monaco, releasing a limited edition watch to celebrate its partnership with the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM). The Grand Prix Historique de Monaco is a biennial series of races for classic cars, showcasing vintage models from the 1930s to the 1970s as they race around Monaco's scenic track.
The strikingly elegant and charismatic chronograph designed especially for the occasion features the signature red-and-white colour code that is reminiscent of eye-catching sports cars from the thrilling world of motor racing. The small silver historic car logo of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique at the 1 o'clock position on the crimson brushed dial instantly links this special model to the historic race. This model is produced in a limited edition of 1,000 watches, each of which is engraved with its unique number and the words "One of 1000".
This TAG Heuer Monaco wristwatch is presented on a luxurious perforated strap made of fine-grain black leather. The stainless-steel case back of this iconic square model has a transparent sapphire glass with the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique logo printed on the inside through which the sophisticated Calibre Heuer 02 in-house mechanical movement is visible. With a total of 168 individual components, including a column wheel and a vertical clutch, the TAG Heuer Calibre Heuer 02 offers outstanding precision and an extraordinary 80-hour power reserve.
The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique timepiece is packaged in a red watch box that is decorated with a chequered racing flag – a nod to the historic Heuer watch box and the perfect touch for this contemporary 2020 classic. It will be on display especially for racing enthusiasts at the ACM and available for pre-orders via www.tagheuer.com and in select TAG Heuer boutiques before its launch on July 27th, 2020.
The TAG Heuer Monaco and motor racing in Monaco
In the late 1950s, building on the brand's heritage in stopwatches, dashboard timers and chronographs suitable for racing, Jack Heuer saw an opportunity to become even more involved in the golden age of motorsport, merging his passion with the family business. Inspired by the action he witnessed on the track, he started a tradition of naming his creations after the evocative races in Monza, Silverstone, Montreal and Monaco. Celebrated for its glamorous Formula 1 Grand Prix, Monaco has also lent its name to one of TAG Heuer's most iconic watch collections since 1969.
Avant-garde yet timelessly chic, the TAG Heuer Monaco Grand Prix de Monaco Historique is a bold new take on a maverick timepiece, and a celebration of the enduring bond between TAG Heuer, its iconic Monaco line and the prestigious racing events that take place in its namesake destination.
