Scheduling and capacity are closely related. On the one hand, use of capacity depends on scheduling. Scheduling strategies such as prioritizing and equal treatment of users affect how capacity is assigned. On the other hand, scheduling depends on availability of capacity. Since capacity is limited, scheduling has to take into account how the size of a block of capacity use fits into the remaining schedule and how the value of capacity use influences scheduling. Finally, the capacity utilization factor feeds back into scheduling, impacting how flexible the schedule can be and determining whether additional capacity is required.
The available capacity impacts the size of a scheduled item, influencing future scheduling. The item to be scheduled must fit into the available capacity, but even if it fits, a large item that uses most of the capacity makes it difficult to schedule additional large items immediately. Scheduling determines whether it's preferable to schedule many smaller items, then schedule large ones when some of the smallest items also fit.
The value of capacity for different items may vary. A space used for production typically has greater value than storage space. Scheduling tries to maximize the value of capacity utilization. Scheduling fewer, high-value items affects capacity use but may increase the overall value of the capacity. In this way, the type of items scheduled determines the value of the capacity to the owner.
Capacity use depends on scheduling priorities. Priorities are separate from value because a high-value item may retain its high value if it's scheduled later. A low-value item, by contrast, may not be available for scheduling if it's not scheduled immediately. Scheduling assigns such priorities to maximize capacity utilization over the long term. Capacity limits determine whether all high-priority items can be accommodated.
When scheduling assigns capacity to individual users, the group of users may insist that the scheduling be carried out fairly. Fairness in scheduling implies that requests are scheduled in the order received. To avoid allowing heavy users to monopolize capacity, scheduling may also include limits or quotas on capacity use and number of requests. To the extent that fairness takes precedence over other scheduling criteria, capacity use may not be optimum.
While scheduling directly determines capacity use, the capacity utilization factor feeds back into scheduling to indicate whether more items can be scheduled in the future or whether scheduling must cut back. Through such continuous feedback, the capacity utilization factor is a primary input into a decision whether to increase capacity. In this way, scheduling activity directly influences available capacity over the long term.

Vermont Dairy Farm is Target of FDA Enforcement Action in Federal Court
By Dan Flynn on July 10, 2013
A Vermont dairy farm has promised to stop selling cows and bull calves for human food that contain illegal drug residues in violation of federal law. The promise not to do it again comes in the form of a consent decree of permanent injunction against Lawson Farm of Irasburg, Vermont, its owner, Robert Lawson, and its manager, George R. Lawson. The consent decree, filed by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Consumer Protection Branch and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Vermont, prevents Lawson Farm, Robert Lawson, and George Lawson from purchasing or selling any animals for use as food unless and until they take certain actions to assure that animals with illegal drug residues do not enter the food supply. The decree also requires the defendants to keep written records to identify which animals have been medicated and to maintain a drug inventory. In previous inspections at Lawson Farm by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), recurring violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act were documented that defendants failed to correct. "The FDA continues to take strong enforcement actions against companies that put consumers' health at risk," said Melinda K. Plaisier, the FDA's acting associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. "The actions we took are necessary to ensure that foods do not contain illegal residues of drugs and are safe for consumers." If the defendants violate the decree, the FDA may order them to cease selling animals for use as food and to take other corrective actions, including payment of fines for each day the defendants fail to comply and for each animal sold in violation of the decree. The FDA previously issued a Warning Letter to Lawson Farm for similar violations. The request for injunction states that FDA inspections of the farm revealed that defendants administered animal drugs, including penicillin, in a manner not specified on the label, without a prescription, and did not maintain adequate treatment records to prevent treated cattle from entering the food supply. The United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service reports illegal drug residues to the FDA, which has the responsibility of investigating the misuse of veterinary drugs in food animals. The FDA can take enforcement actions such as issuing warning letters and injunctions to companies that are in violation of the Act. Ingesting food containing excessive levels of antibiotics and other drugs can cause severe adverse reactions among the general population, even at very low levels and can harm consumers who are sensitive to antibiotics.

Flynn: The Mob Canary Among Others
By Abe On December 9, 2018 · Leave a Comment
As videos remind us of Michael Flynn's harsh demands against Hillary Clinton to "lock her up", there is growing speculation that he will not be imprisoned for his disgraceful role in the Russia probe. The debate over Flynn's fate as a mob canary will extend to both sides of special counsel Robert Mueller's penetrating reach.
At this point, does it really matter? The disgraced general has already condemned himself ago to imprisonment in the pages of history books from which he can't escape – now and forever.
That leads me to ask why people are so willing to give up their name, honor, and reputation in their ignoble quest for power and riches. History is full of such losers. Team Trump, led by the mega-con man that bears its name, will simply add a lot more criminals to it. (We can't imagine what Michelangelo would have done with them in his hellish fresco in the Sistine Chapel.)
Of course, as he led the wicked chant about Hillary, he did assure us that if he had done a tenth of what Hillary had done, "I would be in jail."
You're already there, Mike.

Hamburg-Xi'an in 12 Days; China BRI Speeds Europe-Asia Freight
A new intercontinental shipping service, launched by DHL Global Forwarding and Xi'an International that can speed container freight between Hamburg and Xi'an in 12 days or less, is a less-publicised, but more positive manifestation of China's Belt & Road Initiative (BRI).
Conceived as the modern-day version of the ancient Silk Road, the BRI is the Chinese government's initiative comprising infrastructure development and investment on the overland route, the Silk Road Economic Belt, and the sea-based 21st Century Maritime Silk Road.
Many a western country is having problems getting "on board" with the BRI, citing a perceived desire of China to exert influence abroad, but such political concerns rarely get in the way of commerce. For those in the international logistics sector, the BRI is more of a blessing from Heaven itself.
In many ways, it's very odd that it's taken until now for this to hit the headlines; DHL, one of the world's biggest logistics firms, very cleverly maneuvering themselves to be a major beneficiary of the BRI. But then, DHL knows a thing or two about China, having started operating in the country in 1980.
As more countries sign up to be part of the BRI, so the speedy new service has become possible.
It also saves a lot of money for shippers, and brings jobs to previously under developed locations along the route.
The speed of the new service is down to it utilising the 9,400 kilometre Northern Eurasian corridor, that takes it from China to Germany via Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus and Lithuania, reports the Global Construction Review.
However, the service is unlikely to become much faster any time soon.
Originally designed, built, owned and operated by foreign companies, railway lines in China use the standard West-European railway gauge of 1.435 metres, whereas trains in Russia and former USSR states run on the broader gauge of 1.524 metres.
As such, freight need be transferred between different gauge trains at Małaszewicze, a Polish village and dry port near the Belorussian border, and at Khorgos on China's border with Kazakhstan. Being one of the furthest points on Earth from any ocean, it is somewhat appropriate that Khorgos is also now home to the biggest dry port in the world, as a result of the BRI.
Within Europe, Poland, Greece, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Luxembourg and Switzerland have all signed agreements of one sort or another with China for cooperation on the BRI.
As such, there will likely soon be many more freight services between Europe and China, such as that which is presently the longest railway route in the world, the 12,874 kilometre line from Madrid, capital of Spain, to Yiwu in Zhejiang Province.
It also goes without saying that trains are faster than ships and cheaper than planes, making them a good bet for China and her BRI.


Know out about the famous Fort Kochi or Fort Cochin located in the Kochi city of Kerala, India.
Highlight: Since Fort Cochin was under the possession of the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British at different points of time, the region still bear the influence of European architecture.
How to Reach: Once you reach Kochi City of Kerala, you can take a cab, auto-rickshaw or bus to Fort Kochi.
Even a casual stroll through Fort Kochi located in the port city of Kochi in Kerala is enough to make you feel transported to another world and time. The architectural style of the buildings and the town layout easily make Fort Cochin distinct from other cities and towns of Kerala. Since Fort Cochin was under the possession of the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British at different points of time, the region still bear the influence of European architecture.
Fort Kochi or Fort Cochin is one of the three main urban regions that constitute the present day Kochi city in Kerala, India. The other two regions together comprising the Kochi city are Mattancherry and Ernakulam. Interestingly, the port city of Kochi was initially a municipal town from 1866 to 1967. It was later in the year 1967 that these three principal municipalities and few adjoining areas were joined to form the new corporation of Kochi.
Fort Cochin is counted among the major tourist attractions of present day Kochi in Kerala, but it was earlier a fishing village of no significance during the pre-colonial Kerala. It was christened as Fort Kochi after this territory was given to the Portuguese in the year 1503 by the Raja of Kochi. The Raja gave the Portuguese the permission to build a fort near the waterfront to protect their commercial interests.
The fort that the Portuguese, thus, built here was named Fort Emmanuel and it is from the name of this fort that 'Fort Kochi' derived the first part of its name. Fort Emmanuel was, however, later destroyed by the Dutch. It was behind this Fort Emmanuel that the Portuguese built their settlement and a wooden church, which was rebuilt in the year 1516 as a permanent structure world famous as the St Francis Church in the present times. Believed to be the first church built by Europeans in India, it is here that the body of Vasco Da Gama was buried initially before his remains being shipped to Lisbon in Portugal later.
Since Cochin in Kerala was an important trading zone for foreign travelers and seafarers, the ownership of the Fort Kochi region passed many hands. It, however, remained a Portuguese possession for almost 160 years until the year 1683,k when the Dutch captured the territory. They then held Fort Kochi under their possession for 112 years until the year 1795, thereafter which the British took over control by defeating the Dutch. The 444 years of foreign control of Fort Kochi or Fort Cochin finally ended with India gaining independence in 1947.

HOME / Tech Spotlights / FAQ / What is HPGQ?
What is High Pressure Gas Quenching (HPGQ)?
The most common definition for High Pressure Gas Quenching is accelerating the rate (speed) of quenching by densification and cooling of gas. One of the reasons for the intense interest in this quenching technique is related to improved part distortion with full hardness. A critical concern is to avoid sacrifice of metallurgical, mechanical or physical properties. That is, retain the ability to transform a material to a microstructure that is similar, identical or superior to that of a known quenching medium (e.g. oil or salt). Common quench gases include nitrogen, argon and helium. Hydrogen, although excellent with respect to heat transfer, is seldom used as a quench gas due to safety considerations.
High Pressure Gas Quenching (HPGQ) offers a number of attractive benefits including unprecedented part cleanliness and less overall dimensional change. Fixed or variable cooling rates are applied as required to control hardness and distortion with the ability to vary quench pressure depending on load size, material type and part section thickness. Product consistency and repeatability are excellent using high pressure gas quenching.


Oliver Lush-Camps is more than just a miracle to his parents, Katy and Jonathon; he's a miracle to science. Born with the help of the Wessex Fertility Clinic, little Oliver is the first baby to be born using the ground-breaking time-lapse photo technology, Eeva (Early Embryo Viability Assessment).
In conventional IVF, clinicians remove embryos from the incubator and examine them via microscope. They must determine which embryos are healthiest based on those examinations, which take place over about five or six days. Doctors only receive one 'snapshot' in time for each examination.
In contrast, Eeva takes time-lapse photos of the embryo, right from the incubator, during each and every cell division. Computer software helps weed out embryos that are dividing abnormally at any given stage, and the non-invasive selection process drastically reduced the embryo's exposure to the real world.
Being residents of Barton on the Sea, they were able to take advantage of the £800 technology at the Wesesx Fertility Clinic. As difficult as the journey may have been, Katy and Jonathon say they wouldn't have done it any other way.
But Katy and Jonathon aren't the only ones excited about little Oliver's birth. Doctors at Wessex Fertility Clinic are ecstatic that they were able to use the technology and help the couple give birth to their very first child.
As you can see, the world's first EEVA baby was born at the Hewitt Fertility Centre at Liverpool Women's Hospital back in May.

Apple Files Trademark for 'iWatch' in Japan
by Gary Ng – Sun, June 30, 2013
According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple has filed a trademark for the term 'iWatch' in Japan:
The maker of iPhones is seeking protection for the name which is categorized as being for products including a handheld computer or watch device, according to a June 3 filing with the Japan Patent Office that was made public last week. Takashi Takebayashi, a Tokyo-based spokesman for Apple, didn't respond to a message left at his office seeking comment on the application.
Back in February the publication reported Apple had a team of roughly 100 product designers working on a 'wrist-watch-like device' that could perform tasks currently handled by the iPhone and iPad.
Numerous tech companies are jumping into the wearable technology realm, with reports of Samsung and Microsoft possibly launching smart watches in the near future. Just this past week Sony unveiled their Smartwatch 2 with NFC. After the success of the Pebble, companies now want a piece of the smart watch market.
At D11, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the following when asked about the wrist as an area of wearable computing (he was previously asked about glasses as part of wearable computing, which Cook called 'difficult'):
Mossberg: "But, the wrist is not?"
Cook: "I think the wrist is natural."
Cook: "I think there are other things in the space that could be interesting. Sensors are exploding. With the arc of time, it'll become clearer."
Just because Apple has filed a trademark for the term 'iWatch', it does not mean a product is coming. Earlier this month, Apple reportedly filed for the same trademark in Russia.

"Chef and restaurateur Jamie Leeds welcomed two additions to the Hank's family in 2016. Opening Hank's Cocktail Bar in Petworth and Hank's Pasta Bar in Alexandria expanded Leeds' empire — and her commute. She travels between her five restaurants each week to keep tabs on the diverse operations.
"I spend a lot of time in my car," she says with a laugh.
Hank's Cocktail Bar, originally called The Twisted Horn, is celebrating one year of innovative cocktails, whimsical titles, and community involvement. The compact bar replaced a former church, but it's been transformed into a different kind of gathering place. Despite having the smallest footprint of any property in Leeds' restaurant group, Hank's Cocktail Bar has become a big part of the Petworth community.
Eater managed to catch Leeds during a rare window of free time to ask about the first year of business at her only dedicated cocktail bar.
Why did you decide it was time to open a dedicated cocktail bar under the Hank's umbrella?
Jamie Leeds: I realized in running the restaurants that the cocktail program was very popular. And I expanded Dupont; I doubled the size of Dupont so that I could put in a larger bar. We have a bar manager in each restaurant that creates really creative cocktails and people come in just for the cocktails. When I built the Hill [location], it was a cocktail-focused restaurant. In Old Town … the bartenders are really into it, they do their own infusions and all this. And I was thinking why not have a place that's just about cocktails and it's a little bit also like our test bar. We'll create cocktails here that we'll use in some of the other restaurants, so it seemed like a good fit.
Can you talk a little bit about the philosophy behind the cocktail menu, specifically the exploration of savory flavors, and the naming of drinks?
JL: We like to have fun with the names. We just have a lot of different experimentation with different flavors. And I originally wanted to do something in Petworth because I used to live here, and Petworth is a great neighborhood; it's become a great community. All of the Hank's are community-driven and neighborhood restaurants, and Petworth really needed a place for people to go and just have a good cocktail and some good bar bites.
Is it typical for drinks from this menu to show up at different Hank's locations?
JL: We're kind of doing a back-and-forth. So we have this section called "Tales from the Family," and so these are twists on some of the classics from the other restaurants. Like the "Hanky Panky," and different things like that. "I Know What Boys Like" is a drink from Capitol Hill, and "You Remind Me of Something" is adapted from Hank's Pasta Bar. So we do cross over.
Are there any drinks that are exclusive to Hank's Cocktail Bar?
JL: All of them are exclusive except for the "Tales of the Family." It's a seasonal menu. There's one that the guys have done ["Don't Be a Menace to Petworth While Drinking Your Popcorn in the 'Horn"] where they've infused popcorn and the drink tastes exactly like popcorn and we serve a little side of popcorn with it. It's pretty crazy. All kinds of stuff like that. We have fun. "Is There Any Tea on this Spaceship?" and it's made with oolong tea. "There Will Be Blood … Oranges." "He's Still Bad But He Does It Even Better," that's the vodka drink.
JL: The "Old Pal" [a Negroni made with vodka instead of gin] is my favorite. That's my drink. They always have some kind of variation of an "Old Pal" for me.
What stands out from the selection of signature cocktails?
JL: They really sell pretty well across the board, but the popcorn one I think is the best selling drink right now.
How have the beginning stages of launching this concept been different from other Hank's concepts?
JL: Me being a chef, coming up as a chef, and opening restaurants, I focused a lot on the food, on the kitchen. And the metrics are a little different with a bar. The shelf life of the product is a lot longer. You don't have to necessarily think about spoilage or anything. But I also wanted to make sure that the food was really really good. But we've definitely tweaked the menu many times since the beginning, given what people want. Originally, for example, because I love charcuterie, and different meats and cheeses, and I thought for sure that would be a big winner here, but it turns out people aren't really into that in this neighborhood. So we've taken that off.
I like to open in spaces that have character — older spaces, not necessarily new constructions all the time. So this used to be a church and we totally gutted it and built it out and found a lot of things, a lot of surprises in the construction, that we weren't expecting as far as plumbing and electric and things like that. But what's really exciting about this space is the back. We have an outdoor patio in the back that seats 40 people.
For people who know and love the Hank's brand, what will they find at the Cocktail Bar that they'll be familiar with?
JL: We're very big on good service. We have a lot of training for service and I feel like the staff here is very well trained and friendly. And like I said, we're community-oriented, very neighborhood-oriented. People come in multiple times a week. And so that's kind of the culture of Hank's. And also good value. We lowered the prices on a lot of the food since opening to be able to be more inclusive and become more in line with the Hank's brand.
What was the reasoning behind the decision to change the name from The Twisted Horn to Hank's Cocktail Bar?

The World is Not Enough (WINE): Harvesting Local Resources for Eternal Exploration of Space, Phase II
Completed Technology Project
Show Hide PDF PDF
The World is Not Enough (WINE) is a new generation of CubeSats that take advantage of ISRU to explore space. The WINE takes advantage of existing CubeSat technology and combines it with 3D printing technology and an In Situ Resource utilization (ISRU) water extraction system. 3D printing enables development of steam thrusters (higher Isp than cold gas) as well as tanks that fit within the available space within the CubeSat. The ISRU module captures and extracts water, and takes advantage of the heat generated by the CubeSat electronics system with supplemental power from solar charged batteries. The water is stored in a steam thruster tank and used for propulsion. Thus, the system can use the water that it has just extracted as fuel to fly to another location. The WINE is ideally suited as a prospecting mission and reconnaissance mission before the mining/exploration missions are launched. In Phase 1, we demonstrated critical technologies such as (1) sample acquisition, (2) volatiles capture, and (3) various CubeSat designs. In Phase 2, we propose to develop a testbed of the critical ISRU/propulsion system (regolith -> volatiles -> tank -> thruster) and GNC technology, and in Phase 3 we will demonstrate it in space as a hitchhiker payload on a mission such as EM-1 or EM-2, or onboard the International Space Station (ISS). An ISS demonstration can extract water from a meteorite analog (brought up to ISS), use the water to fuel a WINE CubeSat, eject it into LEO, and measure propulsion performance to improve the technology as it demonstrates a change in Delta-V from asteroid-mined water. The main objective of this effort is to develop a WINE spacecraft with capability to prospect planetary bodies using its instruments, perform ISRU to extract volatiles (water), and use water in a thermal steam propulsion system to keep exploring the Solar System.

Anticipated Benefits
NASA can use this system to prospect for mining that will support Mars exploration missions. It can also use the system for any planetary exploration when there is a known water resource close to the surface. It can be used to explore the Moon, Near Earth Asteroids, Main Belt Asteroids including protoplanet Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres, Mars, Europa, Titan, etc. A water-based cold-gas propulsion system is planned for development by the KSC Swamp Works for the Extreme Access vehicle, so all the progress made here will directly help NASA advance that project. Mars mission architects will see the reality of space-mined water and begin to build it into their architectures. Investors in commercial space activity will see that asteroid mining is real, and that transporting spacecraft from LEO to GEO is a viable business worthy of funding, which will create customers for space mining. Space mining companies may also gain investors and make more progress that furthers the confidence of NASA mission architects. Establishing a testbed for these activities in Space Station will result in great interest from the public, greater awareness of the reality that space industry will solve problems on Earth, and ongoing support from policymakers and NASA decision makers to advance the relevant technologies via Space Station. It may also advance the vision of utilizing Station for additional space mining and space industry activities.
The system could be used by several commercial companies that are interested in In Situ Resource Utilization for financial gain. These include Planetary Resources and Deep Space Industries targeting asteroids. Bringing water from the asteroids could be very profitable given that launching water from space costs ~$20,000/liter. The major market for water could be human consumption and radiation shielding (e.g. once Bigelow Space Hotels are established) or refueling of existing satellites. The latter is of particular interest, since satellites come to the end of their life not because of electronics, or power, but because there are running out of fuel for station keeping. NASA and industry have been developing in space refueling technology, the first step in enabling refueling of satellites in space. The technology could also be applied to the Moon and used by Shackleton Energy Corp., company interested in mining water and delivering it for refueling spacecrafts at Geostationary Orbit and Geotransfer Orbit. The International Space University 2012 Summer School demonstrated the commercial viability of boosting spacecraft to Geostationary Orbit via water-based propulsion. With the advent of small satellites (nanosats and CubeSats) one can imagine that these satellites could be able to stop at an asteroid, refuel, and continue exploring. More »

Clinical studies involve an increasing amount of data collection and management. However, there is no specific quality standard sufficiently practical, in free access, and open for data management... KEY WORDS: Clinical data interchange standards consortium, clinical data management systems, data management, e-CRF, good clinical data management practices, validation Introduction Clinical trial is intended to find answers to the research question by means of generating data for proving or disproving a hypothesis.
Description: Adherence to the principles of good clinical practices (GCPs), including adequate human subject protection (HSP) is universally recognized as a critical requirement to the conduct of research involving human subjects.


Washington, DC - The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA) today partnered with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) and were joined by union representatives from the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) and Allied Pilots Association (APA) to call on Congress for immediate passage of a FAA reauthorization bill. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is set to shut down again on September 16 when the current extension expires.
"Congress could jeopardize the safety of the U.S. air transportation system and will risk thousands of airline employees' jobs by failing to pass a long-term FAA reauthorization bill that focuses on the FAA's core mission of providing the safest, most efficient aviation system in the world. We cannot allow political brinkmanship to again trump the safety of the flying public or the jobs of hard-working Americans," said Veda Shook, AFA International President.
At today's press conference, union representatives reiterated the urgent need for Congress to finalize a long-term FAA reauthorization bill that improves our aviation infrastructure, grows our economy, and delivers hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
"The FAA reauthorization is essential to allowing our aviation system to grow safely and potentially add thousands of new jobs while securing the tens of thousands of current jobs in the airline sector. Congress must do what is right for U.S. passengers, right for the U.S. economy, and right for hard-working Americans. Congress must pass an FAA reauthorization bill now," added Shook.

Home Miami Law News Articles 2018 October NY, DC, Bahrain - Intl Arbitration LLM Graduates Pursue Diverse Careers
NY, DC, Bahrain - Intl Arbitration LLM Graduates Pursue Diverse Careers
Many graduates from the White & Case International Arbitration LL.M., come from a diverse range of careers and pursued varied academic interests, internships, and externships during their time at Miami Law.
These alumni go on not only to work at prestigious international arbitration law firms, but also to take up leadership positions at deeply storied arbitral institutions and centers throughout the world.
main_collage.jpg
Recent graduates from the International Arbitration LL.M.Program
Rekha Rangachari – New York International Arbitration Center
Rekha Rangachari is the executive director of the New York International Arbitration Center. This international non-profit has a multi-faceted mission: to host arbitrations and mediations in their hearing space, to promote New York as a premiere arbitral seat, and to educate the legal community with varied programming on international law and arbitration.
The J.D. `10 works with NYIAC's founding firms and institutions coordinating incoming hearings, professional programs, and publications as well as meeting regularly with stakeholders in arbitration to discuss hot topics and best practices.
Since joining NYIAC in 2017, law student engagement has been a priority for Rangachari. "It reminds me fondly of my time at Miami Law and my introduction to this field. I took coursework like Basic Concepts in International Arbitration with Jan Paulsson, competed in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Competition with coaches John Rooney and Sandra Friedrich, and read many texts on these subjects while sitting on the Bricks with my teammates."
Rangachari's advice to those coming up in international arbitration is work hard and be tenacious. "Appreciate that the practice of international arbitration is evolving in parallel to its expansion, with opportunities beyond law firms, state entities, academic centers, and NGOs. If you can conceive of a need within the law, follow it through with panache and you may find yourself with the best fit position for your skill set."
"Finally, build thoughtful connections with your peers, colleagues, and mentors, as you never know who may influence the next stage of your career, open the next door, or be your best ally," she says.
Magaly Cobian – Atlanta Center for International Arbitration and Mediation
Peruvian native Magaly Cobian is the managing director of the Atlanta Center for International Arbitration and Mediation at Georgia State University College of Law.
The J.D.`10 graduate said her experience at Miami Law provided several benefits that provided the foundation for her career in international arbitration.
"First, Miami Law offers a valuable opportunity to learn legal theory and gain practical knowledge through real-world experience," she says. While pursuing her LL.M. and later J.D. Cobian successfully represented Miami Law in the first edition of the Moot Madrid, the first Spanish-language international commercial arbitration competition.
"Remain open and be flexible," she says. "If you do not find a job in international arbitration as soon as you finish law school, consider accruing experience in another area of law that can help you gain skills that will translate to a position in international arbitration, such as completing an internship with an arbitral institution or accepting a position that will help sharpen your advocacy skills."
Nawazish Choudhury - Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution
Nawazish Choudhury was an International Arbitration Institute Scholar at Miami Law until his 2017 graduation at the top of his class.
After completing a year working in investment arbitration with Miami Law professor Carolyn Lamm at White & Case in Washington D.C., the British/Bangladeshi is now in Manama at the Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution as the advisor to Miami Law professor Nassib Ziadé, BCDR's chief executive officer, assisting in strengthening its presence as a leading arbitral institution in the wider MENA region. Some of Choudhury's central tasks include updating the institution's mediation rules, assisting in the management of arbitration cases and working on the BCDR International Arbitration Review.
Choudhury says the opportunities he was afforded at Miami Law – a "hot spot" for the study of international law – made all the difference in his legal career. "I was able to secure two international arbitration practicum placements at leading Miami law firms: GST LLP, a GAR 100-ranked international arbitration boutique law firm, co-founded by Miami Law alumni Mauricio Gomm and Quinn Smith, and Shutts & Bowen, which both gave me the opportunity to work with leading practitioners on highly interesting commercial arbitration cases.
"Even though as a practicing barrister I was not eligible to participate as a student advocate in International Moot Court, I sat as volunteer arbitrator and helped coach Miami Law's student teams for both the Foreign Direct Investment International Arbitration Moot and the Vis Moot" he says. "Also, I was fortunate enough to work as a graduate research assistant to Miami Law's International Arbitration Institute. I am absolutely certain that the variety and the number of posts I completed at Miami Law played a central role in my career success."
Choudhury believes that much of his success can be attributed to being a "mootie," proactively applying for nearly every one of the many opportunities sent out by the program administrators, keeping his resume always updated because opportunities come (and go) quickly, and taking every opportunity seriously. Though, he adds, it is also important to enjoy Miami. "Enjoy it," he says. "Occasionally, go to the beach. Travel to Key West. Even Disneyworld! "
Ana Lombardia – International Center for Dispute Resolution
Spaniard Ana Lombardia, another International Arbitration Institute Scholar, is the international case director for the Miami office of the International Center for Dispute Resolution, a division of the American Arbitration Association that manages cases with certain international dimension.
The IA LL.M. `16 mostly works on cases with a connection to Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Based in Miami, the job is busy, especially with Miami which has propelled to second place for international arbitrations seated in the U.S., ahead of Washington, D.C.
"I monitor and track the proceedings throughout all their stages," she says. "At the ICDR, we check that all stages of the proceedings are being conducted according to the parties' agreement, and assist in moving forward the arbitrations. We also make administrative decisions as to the number of arbitrators, seat of the arbitration, language, etc., without prejudice of the arbitrators' final determination."
Lombardia said that one of the features that was important to the ICDR when hiring her was that she was a Miami Law graduate and thus already familiar with the most prominent players in international arbitration in Miami. She said the various volunteering opportunities made available to International Arbitration students allowed her to meet many attorneys in the field during her studies and expand her professional network. "During my interview with the ICDR, I was asked if I had experience with different sets of arbitral rules. I happily answered that I had, thanks to the various classes I took in the International Arbitration program," she says.
The program allowed Lombardia to rub elbows with the international arbitration community often. She would in turn reach out to contacts she met at events and conferences with questions about cases during her studies. "You would be surprised as to how willing they are to help you out!" she says. "Besides, this way they will assess your value as potential candidate or prospective employee."
Supritha Suresh –Three Crowns LLP, Washington, DC
In November 2017, Young ICCA Scholar Supritha Suresh began clerking at the Washington, D.C. office of Three Crowns LLP, a boutique arbitration practice with offices in London, Paris, and in the district.
Before that, the IA LL.M. `17 was at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, where she worked closely with the deputies and counsel on case-related tasks, including undertaking arbitrator conflict checks, drafting working papers and researching issues that arise during administering a case.
"Both these positions helped me look at an individual case from a defined perspective, as well as recognize the importance of looking at overall case statistics from a panoramic lens, before I come to judgement," the native of India says. "I look at my time at Miami Law as a foundation to my career, any which path it might take. I chose to do an LL.M. right after my Bachelor's because I wanted a solid academic understanding before I began practice.
"I came out of Miami Law with not only a better understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of the field, but also with a primer on the practicalities. The classes in addition to various activities, such as moot courts, workshops with law firms, one-on-one advisory sessions, and several impromptu brain-storming sessions with classmates help one grow professionally as well as personally."
Suresh said what worked for her at Miami Law was listening to her mentors and making the most out of every opportunity presented. "The International Arbitration LL.M. Program is a very malleable structure. It is what you want it to be. The Program Director and staff ensure that the year is as individualized as possible, diligently accommodating your every need," she says. "In addition to more than a dozen different arbitration classes, there are a plethora of activities one can get involved in - moot courts, internships, research assistant positions, conferences and options to attend J.D. classes.
"Make the most of the program and sign up for everything! You will not regret it!"

NEW COMMIT: Penn State has received a new verbal commitment from Red Bank, New Jersey's Sam Rennard who will arrive on campus next fall.
Rennard swims year-round for Red Bank YMCA and capped off his summer season at YMCA Nationals with 100% best times, a fifth-place finish in the 400m free and 400m IM, and he also placed sixth in the 800m free and ninth in the mile. At YMCA Nationals in April, he posted four top-20 finishes which included a seventh-place showing in the 500 free. He was also a five-time finalist at NJ YMCA State Championships and won the 500 free at Rutgers' Holiday Classic last winter. Rennard also swims for Christian Brothers Academy where he is the school record-holder in the 500 free and is a multi-time conference winner.
When he suits up for the Nittany Lions at the start of the 2019-20 season, he'll join a distance training squad led by Nathan Schiffmann. Although he sits outside of scoring range at the 2018 Big Ten Championships, Rennard will look to translate his recent long course success with a year of club swimming still to go.

Q: How to add lights to a Mesh generated by BufferGeometry and drawed as TriangleStrips? I'm trying to add lights to a scene where there is a Mesh created by BufferGeometry. The mesh.drawMode is THREE.TriangleStripDrawMode. I don't know why light is not applying to the mesh.
There is an example bellow:
https://jsbin.com/jofasabeji/edit?js,output
Is there a flag to be activated (like face culling)?
Thanks!

A: Your geometry is missing vertex normals.
You can specify the normals yourself, or -- if you find the result acceptable -- you can call:
geometry.computeVertexNormals();

Alternatively, you can avoid setting vertex normals if you set the material property to flat-shading (and your material supports it):
material.shading = THREE.FlatShading;

Also, you need to set a reasonable intensity for your light:
var light = new THREE.PointLight( 0xffffff, 1 );

"It was the first thing in the industry, but the most sluggish" Dongbin Shin 30 minutes bitter voice
Lotte Chairman Shin Dong-bin participates in the '2021 First Half Lotte Value Creation Meeting (VCM)' held by video conference on the 13th. Photo Lotte Group
"I think the reason why there are sluggish business groups even though they were the first in the industry was a matter of execution, not strategy. In response to digital transformation, digital transformation (DT) and research and development (R&D) investments are essential, and strategy-matched execution is essential for investors to pay off."
Lotte Chairman Shin Dong-bin criticized last year's sluggish management index at the first presidential meeting this year. Chairman Shin said, "Our potential is not recognized in the market. Just as companies that innovate during a crisis have a large growth rate after the crisis, we must thoroughly prepare for when the pandemic stabilizes after the second quarter of this year." Emphasized. Lotte's presidential meeting is a meeting where executives from affiliates gather in the first and second half of each year to share mid- to long-term growth strategies.
Chairman Shin rebukes "What is the core value of each company"
According to Lotte on the 14th, Chairman Shin's speech was made for 30 minutes at the end of the four-hour meeting. At the president's meeting held on the 13th, Chairman Shin asked the question "What are the essential competitiveness and core values of each company?" and ordered, "We must be able to present the company's appearance to employees in 5 and 10 years." . He emphasized, "Only if there is a clear vision and discriminatory value for each company, success can be achieved," he emphasized. "There is no future or meaning for a company that is obsessed with survival or past success experiences." "Companies that are not transforming innovatively should consider drastic portfolio adjustments," he said. Since then, they have ordered continuous investment and bold execution power.
Major commerce app users. Graphic = Reporter Park Kyung-min [email protected]
It is an analysis that Chairman Shin's remarks are based on the sluggish distribution industry, which is rapidly turning to e-commerce. At Lotte, the distribution division is the parent of the group and is the flagship business that accounts for nearly 40% of the total business. However, amid the rapid growth of e-commerce companies such as Coupang, the distribution market has undergone cataclysmic changes, and results have been sluggish due to last year's Corona 19. The competitiveness of existing offline stores has weakened, and the e-commerce sector, which has been belatedly jumping, has failed to produce such results.
In particular, the integrated online mall Lotte On was launched ambitiously saying that it will invest a total of 3 trillion won in April last year, but its dominance in the market is not yet great. According to the mobile big data platform Mobile Index, as of December last year, Lotte On's monthly application users reached 1.12 million, which is 5.2% of Coupang (2.141 million), the number one. In May (960,000 people) right after the launch of Lotte On, monthly users decreased, and the recent large-scale discount events have barely turned to growth.
Lotte's performance is also compared with Shinsegae, an offline competitor and a latecomer in e-commerce. Shinsegae's Shp.com sales increased by more than 40% in December last year, but the growth rate of the food group alone exceeded 60%. This is an achievement that E-Mart has strengthened its food group since 2017. Shinsegae Department Store was also listed in 5 out of 9 department stores nationwide that grew last year through the enlargement of luxury goods and stores despite the adverse conditions of Corona 19. On the other hand, Lotte's sales at all stores other than the Incheon Terminal store decreased.
Rapid change in the distribution market… Lotte's'strengths' must be saved
Lotte has recently declared an emergency situation and is tightening the belt. In February of last year, after announcing a restructuring plan to rearrange 200 out of 700 offline stores, it closed 114 stores and fewer 1994 employees in 10 months. As fixed costs decreased and demand for daily necessities increased, net profit turned to a surplus of 3 billion won in the third quarter of last year. In the year-end greetings conducted earlier than usual, the number of executives was reduced by 100, and executives in their 50s were placed forward. However, last year's performance is difficult to exceed the previous year.
Lotte's distribution division is regarded as an urgent need to recover competitiveness. Park Hee-jin, an analyst at Shinhan Financial Investment, said, "It is necessary to establish the identity that Lotte department stores and marts each pursue." Pointed out.

What have I been up to? Sweet F.A. and I'm still in last night's pyjamas. It has been great.
Sleep proved a fickle mistress last night – I ended up listening to England's campaign in The Ashes down in Australia. Valient efforts all round – but the tail got hoovered up by Australia's pace. It was not the best listening – but a good partnership the previous day saw us right and the match is only slightly in Australia's favour – I do not think we will not win the series but we will hopefully fight tooth and claw all the way to the end – we better do anyway. Let's hope we won't get whitewashed.
Thankfully Boycott was at a minimum and I could listen to TMS on my phone without feeling embarrassed about Yorkshire.
I have also had a bit of good fortune in the Wireless recently. I will never be 'up there' with my famous namesake, but it always a good laugh. I have decided to take Roots Conversation that bit more seriously.
I do not know if you remember my radio show'Roots Conversation', I blogged about it a while ago – well, I took all of the older posts for the show down off PRX and posted up a new Episode #1 for Roots Conversation by Guerrilla Dub System. The show is still up for syndication – so if you have a Network and are in need of a Roots Reggae show please get in contact with me or go to our PRX page HERE.


Already tried use metamod-p, metamod-am and original metamod. (all 1.20). All versions have same problem.
Any ideas how solve it?

Entire Metamod doesn't work. The old hldsupdatetool verson should work fine for now. All my servers and plugins are loading fine. Hopefully Metamod gets updated soon. Id say light a fire under bails as but he does so much for free it would be mean lol.
Anyway I get the same errors... The most are - invalid conversion from "const char* to char*"
P. S. Is it possible nobody knows this?
You don't provide much information, but you should use this HLDSK version : http://hg.alliedmods.net/hl2sdks/hlsdk/ ; updated to fix warnings and such.

Het wapen van Roer en Overmaas werd in 1983 per Koninklijk Besluit aan het Nederlands Limburgse waterschap Roer en Overmaas verleend. Het wapen is vrijwel gelijk aan het wapen van het waterschap Geleen- en Vlootbeek. Het wapen is ook overgenomen van het waterschap Geleen- en Vlootbeek.

Blazoenering
De blazoenering luidt als volgt:

Het wapen is horizontaal gedeeld. Het eerste deel bestaat uit twee vlakken, a is rood met daarop een gouden burcht met vier kantelen. Het hek, valdeur, is gedeeltelijk opgetrokken en zwart van kleur. In deel b een blauw veld met daarop een zilveren molenrad. De onderste helft van het wapen is van zilver met daarop drie blauwe, golvende palen. De drie palen hebben elk een gouden keper, de middelste helemaal bovenin en de buitenste twee ongeveer halverwege. Over de middelste paal en naastgelegen zilveren palen een schuinkruis geplaatste gouden hamer en een eveneens gouden slegge. Op het schild staat een gravenkroon.

Geschiedenis
Het wapen bestaat uit elementen van voorgaande wapens.
 De burcht is afkomstig uit het eerste kwartier van het wapen van Vlootbeek;
 Het molenrad refereert aan de watermolens in de omgeving. De voorgangers van het waterschap hebben de rechten voor de watermolens in de omgeving af moeten kopen;
 De blauwe golvende palen symboliseren de beken die naar de Maas stromen. De gouden kepers in de beken stellen dammen voor die de voorgaande waterschappen hebben geplaatst om de waterstand te controleren;
 De hamer en slegge verwijzen naar de mijnbouw in de omgeving.

Q: Iterate on JSON and add buttons in React I'm new on React and I have a problem in this code:
class Tests extends React.Component {

   async getTests() {
    var url = "http://127.0.0.1:100/getTestList"
    var buttons=[];
    const resp = await fetch(url);
    const data = await resp.json();

    for(let pkg in data){
        console.log(pkg);
        for (let cls in data[pkg]){
            console.log(cls);

            for (var i = 0; i < data[pkg][cls].length; i++) {
                let m= data[pkg][cls][i];
                buttons.push(<button value={cls}>{m}</button>);
            }
        }
    }

    return buttons;

}
render(){
    return(

Using .map()

            {this.getTests()}

    )
}

}//fine classe

// ========================================

ReactDOM.render(
  <Tests />,
  document.getElementById('root')

);

I take correctly JSON Response from POST service, iterate correctly the JSON for to have an array of buttons with value and text but I have this error on Chrome:

Error: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: [object Promise]). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.
      in div (at src/index.js:95)
      in Tests (at src/index.js:108)

Some Tips?
Thanks
Regards

A: getTests() is an async function and it will always return a promise object. React is complaining because you are passing a promise object to the render method.
You could store the api response in a state, and set the state in getTests method. React will update the ui on  state update.
Few changes in the code.

*

*Create state

*Run the getTests() in componentDidMount method.

*Loop over the values in render method.

Example:
class Tests extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
            buttons: []
        }
    }
    async getTests() {
        var url = "http://127.0.0.1:100/getTestList"
        var buttons = [];
        const resp = await fetch(url);
        const data = await resp.json();
        for (let pkg in data) {
            console.log(pkg);
            for (let cls in data[pkg]) {
                console.log(cls);
                for (var i = 0; i < data[pkg][cls].length; i++) {
                    let m = data[pkg][cls][i];
                    buttons.push({ value: cls, displayName: m });
                }
            }
        }
       this.setState( () => {
            return {
                buttons
            }
        });
    }
    async componentDidMount() {
        await getTests();
    }
    render() {
        return (

Using .map()

                {this.state.buttons.map(button => <button key={button.value} value={button.value}>{button.displayName}</button>) }

        )
    }
}//fine classe
// ========================================
ReactDOM.render(
    <Tests />,
    document.getElementById('root')
);

Or you could use a functional component for this.
const ButtonGroup = () => {
    const [buttons, setButtons] = useState([]);

    useEffect(() => {
        await getTests();
    }, []);

    async function getTests() {
        const url = 'http://127.0.0.1:100/getTestList';
        const resp = await fetch(url);
        const data = await resp.json();
        const buttonData = [];
        for (let pkg in data) {
            for (let cls in data[pkg]) {
                for (var i = 0; i < data[pkg][cls].length; i++) {
                    let m = data[pkg][cls][i];
                    buttonData.push({ value: cls, displayName: m });
                }
            }
        }
        setButtons(buttonData);
    }

    return (

Using.map()

            {buttons.map(button =>
                (
                    <button key={button.value} value={button.value}>{button.displayName}</button>
                )
            )}

    );
}

export default ButtonGroup;

A: I would use a function component with useState and useEffect for this case. In useEffect you can fetch your data from the endpoint then using .map() you can represent your buttons from the array what you instantiate with useState.
Please see the following solution which might resolve the issue:
const Tests = () => {
   const [buttons, setButtons] = useState([]);

   useEffect(() => {
      async getTests() {
         const url = 'http://127.0.0.1:100/getTestList';
         const resp = await fetch(url);
         const data = await resp.json();
         const fetchedButtons = [];

         for (let pkg in data) {
            for (let cls in data[pkg]) {
                for (var i = 0; i < data[pkg][cls].length; i++) {
                    let m = data[pkg][cls][i];
                    fetchedButtons.push(<button value={cls}>{m}</button>);
                }
            }
         }

         setButtons(fetchedButtons);
      }

      getTests();
   }, []);

   return

Using.map()

       {/* here mapping the buttons array */}
       {
          buttons && buttons.map(e => e);
       }

}

I hope this helps!

A: this error is expected.
From your code, getTest method returns an array of buttons.
You cannot render an array or an object from a react component.
Instead you can
 1. make buttons a state variable,
 2. set state after you prepare a local array in your getTest method.
 3. use math method to render the button tag that you defined in array.
please accept this answer if it helped you out.

Release Doesn't Require Explicit 'Wage Act' Cite
Jeff Fritz was quoted in the July 28, 2014 article "Release Doesn't Require Explicit 'Wage Act' Cite" in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. A U.S. District Court judge has found that an often-cited 2012 Supreme Judicial Court decision does not in fact require employers, as a matter of law, to expressly include the phrase "Massachusetts Wage Act" in a release.
The plaintiff employee in the case at issue had entered into a half-million-dollar severance agreement with defendant TD Bank. He argued that the SJC's Crocker v. Townsend ruling established a hard-and-fast rule mandating that the Massachusetts Wage Act language be included in order for a G.L.c.148, release to be valid.
But Judge Timothy S. Hillman disagreed and held that Crocker instead requires a severance agreement to use "plainly worded and understandable" language putting an employee on notice that he is knowingly giving up the right to file a Wage Act Claim.
Jeff Fritz said contrary to arguments raised by a number of employees post-Crocker, the SJC never intended for there to be a blanket requirement that a release mention the Wage Act by name.
Until now, he added, no court had interpreted Crocker or offered up substantive guidance to practitioners as to its scope. As a result, many employees have wrongly assumed that the decision stands for the proposition that if a release fails to expressly identify the statute, it is unenforceable.
"The conventionable wisdom form Crocker suggested that you needed to specially refer to the statute, but when you read the decision, it actually doesn't say that," Jeff said. "If the court meant that you have to put 'Massachusetts Wage Act' in capital letters, then what's the purpose of having this 'plainly worded and understandable to the average individual' language included in Crocker?"

Who the heck wants soup in the middle of August? I know, we're in a heat wave, you gotta be kidding me. But check it out. I used to live on this soup. This is so awesome for the bachelor on a budget! Shortly after college, I was working for a big brokerage company that you have heard of, and right next door to our office there was this great rotisserie chicken/wraps/salads place. It was all very good, but they had this vegetable soup that kept me coming back.
I used to go there two or three days a week, sometimes just getting a large vegetable soup. Only problem was that they would charge like almost four bucks just for the lousy soup. So one day, staring into my soup, I thought, "I can make this. Probably better. Definitely cheaper."
It was a light tomato/vegetable based broth with a variety of vegetables, a small amount of orzo and red potatoes. So, here was how I went about it.
The first time I made it I started with fresh tomatoes, boiled them lightly to remove the skin, and added some chopped carrots, celery, zucchini, and potatoes. I didn't have any orzo, so I used brown rice. Well, the tomatoes were a lot of work, and I just garlic salt and peppered the "broth" until it was palatable. It wasn't terrible. But that's about all I can say. Well, that and it was cheap. Like six bucks for a rather large pot of soup.
And pretty much any other vegetable to your liking. I have included broccoli, cauliflower, peas, string beans and a bunch of other stuff. Nothing will really spoil your soup, but some things are better than others. If you want to boost the protein content consider a variety of beans from kidney to soy.
I sautee the onions and some chopped garlic over a small amount of oil at the bottom of my large pot. I then add the vegetables one at a time into the pot over a medium heat, salting and peppering each layer of vegetables. Then the cans of tomatoes go in. I usually also buy two smaller cans of diced tomatoes in case I need a little bit more.
While you are doing all this I keep a kettle of water boiling on another burner. Dissolve one or two vegetable bouillon cubes in a measuring cup with the boiling water and add to the pot. continue to do this until the vegetables are covered in liquid. Mix it up real good, and taste the stock. Is it too salty? Too bland? Well, add some water if it's too salty, and salt or bouillon if it's too bland.
When it comes to a boil, add your brown rice, cover, reduce to a simmer and let it sit for an hour or so. That's it. You're done. You can add chili pepper, squeeze in some lemon, cheese, sour cream, whatever floats your boat. You really can't go wrong. Well, I guess you could. But I think you would know if you are on the wrong track.
It will last you so many freaking bowls of soup, you won't believe it. The whole thing will probably cost you around ten bucks. And you'll have leftover carrots, celery and vegetable boullon.
I did that a lot in college, and always called it "random soup", because it was always made with whatever random stuff I had on hand. Always different, but always good.
Another option is to forget the tomatoes and instead use a tablespoon or two of tomato paste. Adds a bit of flavor, but if someone doesn't like tomatoes in their soup, you're able to work around them.
Soup recipes are good for diet control.This soup is as rich, smooth and creamy as the label "Cream of" would imply.
So, you gonna invite us over for dinner?
You...are...my...hero!!! I cant believe something like this exists on the internet!

A little bird told me: a Pigeon Post
June 16, 2013 June 17, 2013 • kateshrewsday
October 18th, 1943. The Italian town of Colvi Vecchia, Italy.
Not a pretty situation: war never is. The Italian town was largely occupied by German forces who fought doggedly. And wearily, the American infantry brigade sent a request for air bombardment.
A horrendous situation. Only for some reason, the German forces chose a moment shortly after the message had been sent to retreat; to leave the town and its civilian population to the Allies.
The troops rushed to their communications equipment to cancel the order for aeroplanes to attack. But the unthinkable had happened; all lines were down. There was no technological way to stop those planes taking off.
But there was still hope, and it had wings.
It was less than a foot long, and a plain jane as far as appearance went; but it had one overriding talent. It could fly home.
GI Joe was a homing pigeon.
In desperation, the American troops released Joe with his vital message. And as they watched him fly away and become a dot on the horizon, they could only hope and pray.
It took GI Joe just 20 minutes to fly the 20 miles back to the American air base. He arrived, literally, just as the American bombers were about to take off. One small pigeon was able to prevent a tragedy.
I have often been offhand about pigeons. I have besmirched their intellect, their girth, their patterns of behaviour. But I have been taking pigeon steps towards Emmaus, and the scales have fallen from my eyes. These birds deserve respect. And we should not forget what they – fat or thin, clever or no – are capable of.
For who knows when one might need their services again?
My startling change of direction on the whole pigeon question took place in a room in a low, 1940s hut at the code breaking mecca of Bletchley Park, a little village on the outskirts of Milton Keynes in England.
Here, Alan Turing developed Colossus, the world's first computer. Here, Ian Fleming worked in intelligence, and garnered the experience he later used in the exploits of Commander James Bond himself. And here, agents would leave, every so often, with a carrier pigeon in a box.
Because in times of war and hardship, pigeons trump technology, let me tell you, every time.
Air crew had a notoriously perilous job during the second world war. And it was the practice to take pigeons with them when they left on a mission. The reason being that when a plane ditches into the sea, or crashes, all the equipment which might help locate survivors is decimated.
So; when a crew bailed out, they set the pigeons free.
Take Winkie.
Winkie had gone out with the team of an American bomber which crashed off the coast of Scotland. The crew had sent desperate SOS messages but nothing had got through.
Meanwhile Winkie had escaped from his cage and was heading for home.He arrived back at his loft shortly afterwards, battered, worn and covered in oil.
The loft manager did some swift calculations and was able to work out that Winkie had travelled 130 miles; a search party was sent out, and located the crew – 128 miles from the coast.
250,000 pigeons were used in the war effort; and 32 have received The Dickin Medal, the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross.
Sometimes, what a little bird can tell you can save lives.
So next time you see a pigeon, doff your hat, or nod respectfully in their direction. Their brains might be small, but when the wires are down, you'd want a pigeon on your side.

The pigeon steps towards Emmaus resonated with me. Emmaus is a chain of charity shops which is found all over France. It was set up by Abbe Pierre, a priest and Resistance member, in 1949.A neat link with the bravery of these avian wartime heros.
It is, Roger! I never knew that – thanks.
Theikr homing skills are amazing, yet we fill the atmosphere witnh electro-magnetic noise that is beginning to confuse them badly. poor little things.
We do; but were the noise to be silenced they would come into their own once more, Sidey…

Now I knew they were used in WW1 but I'd forgotten about the use of pigeon in other conflicts. Cheers Kate
Pleasure! I had no idea they were so widely used. Though I have watched Valiant…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4C0BfNCHs8
Really amazing stories reminding us once again that we constantly try to outsmart ourselves….keep it simple.
Quite. We have evrything we need, if we but see it, Lou.
lifeonthecutoff says:
I think there is a children's book out about pigeons and the Civil War. You reminded me of it with this fascinating post.
If memory serves me as it should (and often doesn't), weren't the remains of a carrier pigeon found in a chimney with a coded message still on it?
This might be the story you're recalling:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/expert-dismisses-claims-wwii-pigeon-code-has-been-cracked-8431463.html
Wonderful post, Kate!
Winkie escaped or was released? If released, he'd have carried a message giving the crew's location. If he simply escaped, how would anyone have known when he escaped or from what direction he'd come? I'm confused. But no matter. I remain in awe of what was accomplished by these birds in the midst of so much manmade technology.
souldipper says:
Kate…tears! Sniffle.
I've asked one of the Homemakers at the Senior's Residence (that I used to manage) to pass this on to a resident . Rita is in her 90s. She was born in the Ukraine, but married a Dutchman so she lived in Holland most of her adult life.
She came to our island, following their daughter after her beloved husband died.
At the residence, she feeds the pigeons with a ferocity that would create a heart murmur in a black belted soldier. When I told her our concern over the birdseed attracting rats (with the Homemaker interpreting in sort-of Dutch), I learned I was up against World War II. Thereafter she lost her knowledge of English the minute she heard "pigeons". The flock grew and continues to grow.
Her Homemaker and I gave up – how could we wrestle a heart so good and so intent upon saying thank you. I hear even the most tyrannical of the owners cannot budge her!
The mighty little feathered friend soldiers on!
speccy says:
Oh, what a poignant tale
Lovely stories and great credit to those birds, even if they were 'doing what comes naturally'.
With that in mind I totally venerate rescue dogs, in or out of wartime, who have a good idea of what they are doing and why, and go for it with dedication even though they also have quite a fair grasp of the danger involved.
Somewhere buried in the deep recesses of memory I knew something about the use of pigeons during the war, but I really had no idea so many were employed. Amazing! My husband raised homing pigeons when he was a young boy, and I've always thought that was such a fascinating hobby. I love the photos you found to illustrate, Kate. What an interesting story!
Tandy says:
I've just watched something on tv about these pigeons! Truly amazing 🙂
Fascinating stuff, Kate. You find the info and work it into a wonderful story. Thank you!
Kate, you've given me a new perspective on the pigeon. We saw some of the fattest ones while visiting Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris last week. (Our guidebook, Frommer's, says that when Ernest Hemingway "was particularly strapped for cash, he used to hunt pigeons here with his son." I wonder if he knew of their significant contribution to the war.)
Madame Weebles says:
I love reading the stories of the carrier pigeons. In WWI and WWII, it's amazing how many of them were used. And so sad, how many of them were shot down because the Germans and Italians knew the Allies were using them. I imagine a lot of non-carrier pigeons were casualties as well. 😦
Jenni Davies says:
I remember reading a story book over 50 years ago which was about a boy who raised homing/racing pigeons. Then they were commandeered by the army for the war effort, including his champion. The story was about the champion and the unfolding events.
I wish I could remember the title and am hoping that someone will also remember this story.d
Richard Galli says:
Winkie was a HEN, on board a British bomber. Great stories thought!
Thank you Richard – clever hen…

Glampers and their pets have two rentals to choose from while on their once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
Bungalow T1 is a tree house equipped with a kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower cabin. Although smaller, this beautiful rental also includes a suspended balcony overlooking the Bayou and Lima River.
