And instantly, insanely expensive too. However, after looking at a few different Leica lenses at B&H photo (online) recently, Canon lenses seem cheap - even the new 28-70mm RF f2.0L and the 50mm RF f1.2L.
A fraction of a stop isn't important, but Canon lens advantage is the way its render. 85 1.2L is still beloved despite there are so many flaw compared to modern design lens such as Sigma 85 1.4Art. A new 85 1.2 RF with faster AF, better built, and corrections of CA will be appreciate for their new EOS Pro camera for those who want it.
The 85mm f/1.2 rending is tied with it's lack of correction of certain flaws, such as CA. It's lack of speed it tied to the elements' size. Compensating for it requires a higher voltage battery, which the current EOS R camera doesn't have.
I don't have the sale number from Canon for any particular lens, but they wouldn't be making it if it's not in their interest to do so.
Their interest could be as simple as 'the lens makes a small profit', or 'it paints Canon as making better lenses than Nikon'.
They likely will make RF lenses smaller and lighter as well. But I see them showing the pros "Here is what can be done" and stick with us on this one. Remember the first EOS were the 650/620 cameras. Nothing great and mind blowing about the bodies except they took the revolutionary EF lenses that blew the competition away for literally decades before the others caught up. Now you have the revolutionary RF mount with the extra control ring and ability to program the lens including which way to turn the focus ring. Leaving all others in the technology dust again.
I'm glad these new high end lenses are available in case I need one some day. But right now I travel a lot and the weight is a big detractor. I need low light capability and some shallow DOF is nice, whereas ultimate sharpness is not that important. A good 50 f/1.4 and a couple of other f/2 primes would do the job nicely ... with IS please. f/2.8 for wide angle primes is fine. I'd love a 24 f/1.2 but it would probably stay home a lot because of it's huge weight and size.
Too bad about your 620.
That's why Canon making pro lens for future pro body. 50 1.2, 85 1.2, 28-70 F2 isn't for consumer EOS R.
Yes perception is very important. I'm actually more interest in Canon initial lens offering than Sony or Nikon initial FF mirrorless offering. Once they have these exotic lens released along with the trinity lens, there will be a worthy camera to use it. They might even have IBIS in their camera as well.
Could you please explain why landscape photographers need 1.4?
Why wouldn't they want a fast lens? Maybe they want to do astrophotography as well.
Yeah, you're right- why Canon would make a 24mm 1.4 or 1.2 lens at all.
I see plenty of good uses for fast lenses, and I use fast primes for portraits and events. I've just never considered personally using wide open for landscape, as I usually go with more DoF. Isolating a foreground subject, yes, but for a vista with depth, I haven't yet tried it. I'm happy to admit I don't know everything, and I love learning new techniques.
Thanks, highdesertmesa for your insights in an earlier reply!
They (Canon) have a bad 24mm 1.4 lens (bad for coma not for sharpness) for astrophotography already and they can improve that too. But astrophotography is well served by Samyang and Sigma which can make very nice lenses for EF mount so Canon can do even better than them even for EF mount!
It's understandable- my interest in fast wides was renewed when I recently picked up a Fuji 16mm 1.4 (24mm equivalent) for use on the X-T3. It's an amazing lens, so much so that It rarely leaves the camera. Not only is it a fast wide for street photography and any other application you may have, it has a less than 6" close working distance, enabling a macro ability that makes it incredibly versatile and fun to use.
Canon should really consider implementing this in whatever new wide angle they come up with as it increases the usefulness of a fast wide immensely.
Agreed. As per my other reply, Canon should really copy the Fuji 16mm 1.4 (24mm equivalent) if they really want to delight their customers.
Sure, but just because the new mount allows some new designs compared to EF doesn't mean any and all imaginary lenses can be made, or can be made better due to being RF. People are hanging a lot of hopes on a few vague assertions by Canon. Nobody has explained how long lenses (such as a 200mm) would be improved by the new mount.
Yay! Now we will see if mirrorless f1.2 lenses will defy physics for FF and be smaller than an f1.8.
I don't undestand what you're saying now. I thought you were claiming that an RF 200mm f/1.8 lens (or similar) would be superior to the EF one *because it is RF*. I'm saying that is unproven - do we know the new mount has advantages for longer lenses? If I've misunderstood, apologies.
I mean, not a bad lens, think it will be an adequate one-lens-fits-all travel kit, but it just simply isn't clearly superior to the EF version. Not in the way that the 50 1.2 is.
To me it's pretty obvious that RF gives the opportunity for better lenses than EF... Clearly proved with the 50 f1.2 and 28-70 f2. What on earth would Canon create a new mount for otherwise?
It might not have been proven that longer lenses are also better with the RF mount, but I don't see any reason they wouldn't be better. The superteles for EF are already near perfect, but one of the the advantages of the RF mount is that it lets Canon reduce size or add quality. So a 200 f1.8 might easily be smaller and lighter than the EF f2.0, and at a larger aperture. How is this not obvious?
Nice to remind of this because this is another thread full of BS from RF mount fans who don't even have EOS R yet!


Coming close on the heels of iPhone OS 3.0 release is the beta version of the third iPhone SDK.
Coming close on the heels of iPhone OS 3.0 release is the beta version of the third iPhone SDK. The iPhone 3.0 SDK beta allows developers to view the new features and also gives them ample time to test the new features in their applications.
Among the 100 new features announced by Apple, some are really interesting to the iPhone developer community. Developers can now design applications utilising the In App Purchase (IAP) feature that lets users to engage in micro purchases for their application add-ons after purchasing the application previously from the iPhone Store.
There is more good news in store for iPhone developers with the Push Notification Services (PNS) feature, included in the iPhone 3.0 SDK release. The PNS allows third party servers to send latest updates of their applications or services through a constantly open IP to iPhone and iPod Touch users who have subscribed to such services.
Third party hardware developers can now create many more cool and exciting iPhone stuff with the new list of accessories announced by Apple in the 3.0 beta SDK release. Developers can now also build peer-to-peer applications that allow users to stay in touch in real time and utilise various social networking sites to their advantage.
If this wasn't enough iPhone developers can now dig into 1,000 new APIs to do new stuff and find additional functionalities in their applications. Happy coding then.

El Retrato de Becuccio Bicchieraio o Retrato de Domenico de Gambassi es una obra al óleo sobre tabla del artista italiano Andrea del Sarto, que formó parte de la perdida predela del Retablo de Gambassi, junto con el retrato de su esposa. Hoy la obra se conserva, junto con el pendant, en el Instituto de Arte de Chicago.

Historia

Andrea del Sarto realizó el retablo en la última fase de su vida, entre 1525 y 1526 aproximadamente. El retrato se pintó en Florencia después de la estancia del artista en Luco di Mugello y se creó para formar parte, junto con el Retrato de la esposa de Becuccio Bicchieraio, de la predela del Retablo de Gambassi, encargado por el propio retratado. Noticias relacionadas con su realización son descritas por Giorgio Vasari en su Vidas (1568), donde escribió que:

El retablo de altar quedó en la Iglesia de los santos Lorenzo y Onofre de Gambassi desde 1525-26 hasta 1637, cuando confluyó en las colecciones de la familia Médici en el Palacio Pitti, donde el retablo todavía permanece. Mientras, los dos pequeños retratos debieron probablemente entrar en la Villa medicea de Poggio Imperiale con Leopoldo de Médici hacia 1655, ya que se los menciona en dos inventarios de ese año y de 1692, en los cuáles vienen así descritos:

Las medidas descritas en los inventarios del siglo XVII corresponden fuertemente, si bien aquí aparecen confundidos como un autorretrato del mismo Andrea del Sarto y un retrato de su esposa. Pero desde finales del siglo XVII no se sabe nada más de los dos retratos hasta el siglo XX, cuando fueron vendidos en Nueva York y adquiridos en 1963 por la señora de Murray S. Danforth de Providence, Rhode Island. Poco después, ya en 1964 fue la misma Danforth quien donó los dos retratos al Instituto de Arte de Chicago, donde permanecen.

La obra es un  óleo sobre tabla de 22,5 cm de altura y 15,9 cm de largo.

Formaba parte de una predela y a ello debe sus pequeñas dimensiones.

El retrato aparece en un pequeño tondo, sobre un fondo verde. El rostro está de tres cuartos hacia la derecha y es redondo, de un hombre robusto, como también indica la ligera papada y el cuello corto con varios pliegues. La nariz es ligeramente aguileña. El hombre porta un sombrero negro de tres puntas, bajo el que asoman algunos mechones de sus cabellos castaños, y apenas es visible una pequeña porción de su traje negro, con la camisa blanca asomando en el cuello. Un aspecto más completo del hombre se conserva en otro retrato de la Galerías Nacionales de Escocia, también obra de Andrea del Sarto y de la cual este pequeño retrato parece ser una derivación en miniatura.

En el fondo se aprecia la imprimación, que aparece muy esbozada, pero en general la ejecución pictórica deja entrever la capa subyacente en varios puntos.

A few weeks ago, one of my followers asked me to make something for her. She said she was into eating healthy, but because of allergies etc., she had a lot of restrictions in her diet. She does not eat dairy, gluten, tomatoes, pork or red meat.
So, with her in mind, I started planning todays dinner. I ended up with this: Chicken breast with a lovely herby 'sauce', my potatoe wedges with aioli (this time I made two versions: one with added lime zest and the other with a lovely spice mix for patatas bravas, and fried green beans.
If making potato wedges, put them in the oven now.
The chicken breast I used were about 300 grams each. Let them reach room temperature. Season with salt and pepper each on side. Fry in olive oil in a frying-pan on low to medium heat for 15 minutes, then turn and fry for 10 minutes on the other side.
In the meantime, make the 'sauce': mix the coriander, oregano, lime zest, chili, olive oil, salt and pepper with a hand-held blender.
Put the sauce in a small plate that fits the chicken breast. When the chicken breast is done, put them in a single layer on top of the sauce and leave to rest for ten minutes. The chicken will be even tastier when left to rest on marinade, sauce or even just chopped herbs and garlic.
Just before serving, fry the green beans in the frying pan with all the lovely juices from the chicken. Cut the chicken in pieces and pour the juices and marinade over. Serve with potato wedges, aioli and the lime for squeezing over the chicken.

US tells Congress of plans to sell light attack reconnaissance helicopters to Thailand
Modified date: Sep 26, 2019

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced that the U.S. State Department on Tuesday has cleared a possible $400 million foreign military sale of eight AH-6i light attack reconnaissance helicopters to Thailand.
Congress was notified of the sale September 24, according to an announcement posted to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency's website. Congress is required to approve the deal.
The sale will include AGM-114R Hellfire missiles, Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) rockets, M134 Mini Guns, M260 Rocket Launchers, M299 Longbow Hellfire Launcher, AN/APN-209 Radar Altimeter, Hydra 70 Rockets, AN/AVS-6 Night Vision Goggles, and related equipment.
The principal contractor is Boeing Company, Mesa, Arizona.
The proposed sale of the AH-6i helicopter will improve the Royal Thai Army's (RTA) light attack capability to strengthen its homeland defense and deter regional threats, according to a recent service release.
"These AH-6i helicopters will replace the RTA's aging fleet of seven AH-IF Cobra helicopters," the Defense Security Cooperation Agency message states. "As part of a broader military modernization effort, these AH-6i helicopters will provide light attack reconnaissance for close air support to special operations forces, Stryker infantry soldiers and border guard units."
The AH-6i is a single-turbine helicopter that is based on the combat-proven OH-6A Cayuse. It is an advanced variant of the AH-6M helicopter operated by the U.S. Army Special Operations Forces. It incorporates advanced technologies from the Boeing AH-64E Apache multirole attack helicopter that give it superior performance over other aircraft in its class.
The helicopter is intended to provide close-air support for land-based forces and serve as an attack platform for destroying tanks, armored vehicles and fortifications.
The AH-6i features flexible mission configuration, an integrated digital cockpit, combat-proven design, the highest payload in its class, an integrated and qualified weapons system, and a communications package that enables connectivity with other aircraft and ground stations.

Splendidly simple, salt-and-peppered pork chops are grilled until tender, then topped with an absolutely divine sweet-meets-savory salsa. Blackberries, cherries, nectarines, lime, basil. All the best summer flavors. A divine dinner, that looks like you spent all day prepping. But takes only minutes to put together.
Is it just me, or do you sometimes forget what to cook for dinner?
Too often, I find myself staring at the stove. 6pm-ish. Completely incapable of thinking of what to cook.
When it started raining the other day, I realized this is an almost exclusively summer issue. When it's cold or wintery or rainy, there's no question as to what I feel like eating, what I want to cook.
But stick me under the red hot rays of summer evenings, and cooking is so far from my mind, I can't even conjure a single idea. Except for grilled chicken.
And grilled chicken gets kinda boring real quick.
So one night in the middle of our summer, we decided to switch it up. Grilled pork chops. Then topped them with everything we'd recently toted home from the market. Fresh ruby red cherries, big sweet blackberries. tiny heirloom tomatoes and plump ombre nectarines.
You already know the savory mellowness of salted pork tastes divine with fruit. So you can imagine how it pairs with all-the-summer-fruits.
Perfectly, is what. Absolutely perfectamently.
I set all of my photos up in front of or next to a diffused window (light's on the left when I am not backlighting).
The backdrop was purchased from one of my favorite Etsy sellers, ASPAULJOY. His work is consistently amazing, ships quickly, and is made with food photographers in mind. The pretty speckled plates you see there are by the divine Ms. Susan Simonini. If you can nab some of her pottery, buy every piece you find available. It's just stunning, stunning work, and makes my photos look 289380x better than they would without her artful molding.
Rub pork chops with oil, salt and pepper generously. Grill until cooked through.
In a large bowl, stir together cherries, nectarine, blackberries, tomatoes, onion (if using), honey, lime juice and zest. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently with basil. Serve over pork chops.

Collective Arts Brewing located in Hamilton, Ontario first got my attention..well I actually don't know how. But all I remember is I got some Rhyme & Reason Extra Pale Ale and it really sat well with me. Finding a good Pale Ale from Quebec was a tough task but, when I was introduced to Collective Arts from Ontario it showed me that hops in Canada wasn't a lost cause. Of course Ma Brasseries Pale Ale has a long lasting stamp on my taste buds, and I consider it truly the best Pale Ale from Quebec but, I had no clue what else was out there in Canada. Collective Arts was my first introduction into craft beer outside of Quebec and I was highly impressed with what this beer had to offer. Its impression on me resulted in a day trip to Ottawa to obtain some shelf beers from the LCBO.
Since the inception of my blog, Collective Arts through some twitter correspondence has been aware of my thoughts on their beer. With the lack of great IPAs in Quebec, Ontario has found their competitive advantage in terms of beers. Although Quebec is the reigning champion in the beer market of Canada, Ontario is rapidly catching up. And I've found that one of Ontario's specialities is IPAs. Of course not limited to IPAs, but their IPAs are what makes the great state of Ontario reach just a little bit closer to the Canadian beer torch. However, there are still beer styles that lack in Ontario thus creating a sort of collective balance between Ontario and Quebec. I know I know, I'm so funny. But hey word choice can be an art too. There I did it twice. Collective Arts Session IPA and Pale Ale are fantastic examples of what Ontario IPAs have to offer us. Along with Great Lake Brewery , who I find are the king of hops, and many many other breweries Ontario is fast taking over the map of craft beer.
Collective Arts is laying down the hammer on what year round IPAs should taste like. And they certainly are in a world of their own! And I mean that in a great way! For all the Ontarians you can find Collective Arts Beer at LCBOs and grocery stores province wide and for you Quebec folk, we can find some Collective Arts at SAQ here and there. So far I have only seen the Rhyme & Reason, but Ottawa is only two hours and 30 minutes away, and there are few smaller LCBOs on the way.
This one is an extra Pale Ale, and a great one at that. I purchased this beer at LCBO on a trip to Ottawa and I am very satisfied with what this pale ale has to offer. Any time you read extra Pale Ale it means it is somewhere in-between a Pale Ale and an IPA. It's pretty much a Pale Ale that's not a Pale Ale but is also not an IPA. Kinda confusing I know. Upon my first sip I had a light bulb magically appear above my head and I knew this had made my the list of my top Pale Ale's from Canada. Since this one's an extra Pale Ale it's not as light as most Pale Ales tend to be, which I say in a very positive way. Because Collective Arts really does add the extra in this Pale Ale.
Although not highly rated overall or by style on Rate Beer, this is still a great example of a hoppy session IPA. Does it stand the test of time as a top session IPA? Probably not, but it still deserves a lot more recognition than it has been given. Sure to impress the everyday beer drinker, but the beer geek may be a bit more critical. My stance, ill have a sixer of this any day. The light session-able charcater mixed in with their perfect blend of hoppy notes make this beer a delight to drink down.
Not sure when you wrote this article. Collective Arts has been selling mostly in cans for some time now. If you haven't done so, I recommend their IPA, Ransack the Universe. In my book, it's up there with Great Lakes' unfortunately seasonal treasures (Octopus Wants to Fight, My Bitter Wife, Thrust an IPA, Lake Effect, Karma Citra, etc.), Beyond the Pale's Aromatherapy (Ottawa microbrew) and Nickel Brook's Headstock. Speaking of Nickel Brook, their Naughty Neigbour APA is also delicious and has made me ever so popular with my MTL buddies.
I apologize if you already know these, BTW.
I'm a MTL translplant here in Ottawa. I used to cross the river all the time for beer. Not any more, no sir! When it comes to hops, Ontario rules. BUT… Yakima and L3M's IPA sure are good. Other than those and maybe Moralité and Distortion (it's been a couple of years since I had either), Quebec brews always seem to have that Belgian something that annoys me. When your beer tastes lean towards West Coast and VT, you're definitely better served in ON than QC.
Indeed I heard they started doing Cans now. The article is new, but I tried them both a back in November last year from my last LCBO run. I am intending to go back to Ottawa for another LCBO run sometime in the fall! I have tried and heard of all of those beers!! Love Nicklebrook Naughty and Headstock. And Beyond the Pale's Aromatherapy is an absolute killer! Will pick up some Ransack next trip, never had but want to try it!

Photograph of the Second Minnesota Artillery monument at Chickamauga, Georgia, c.1890.
The Second Battery of Minnesota Light Artillery fought in some of the major battles in the Civil War's Western Theater. In their three and a half years of service, the Second's officers and men had the unique experience of functioning in all branches of the army-artillery, cavalry, and infantry.
The Second Battery of Minnesota Light Artillery mustered into service at Fort Snelling in March 1862. Captain William A. Hotchkiss served as the battery's commanding officer. Hotchkiss was a veteran of the Mexican War and the Third U.S. Artillery. In April, the battery departed for St. Louis. By May 1 the men and officers had received their cannon: two twelve-pounder Napoleons and four six-pounder howitzers, all smoothbores.
After a few weeks of drill, the battery proceeded to Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, the site of the previous month's Battle of Shiloh. Between June and mid-August, the battery participated in various minor campaigns and marches across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. In September, as part of General Don Carlos Buell's Army of the Ohio, the battery pursued General Braxton Bragg's Confederate Army of Tennessee into Kentucky.
There, on October 8, 1862, the armies clashed in the Battle of Perryville. As the Confederates massed in front of the Union left flank, one of the Second Minnesota's howitzer sections (two guns) was sent to that flank for support. They forced Confederate skirmishers from a barn. Also, according to some accounts, they silenced a Confederate battery. Their smoothbores, however, were of insufficient range to deal with the rebel guns effectively. Therefore, they were relieved by a section of rifled guns from another battery.
The howitzers were put back into position when the Southern infantry attacked, and were very effective firing canister into the infantry's ranks. Southern forces eventually outflanked the position and caused the Union force to retire. Meanwhile, the Minnesotans' other four guns supported the right of the line. Soon after advancing, this part of the line, too, was driven back by overwhelming numbers. Although the Confederates had gained the upper hand, they retired from the battlefield the next day. This allowed the Union forces to claim the victory.
By late December, General Bragg had positioned his army at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. His goal was to prevent Union forces from advancing on Chattanooga. Union General William S. Rosecrans advanced his Army of the Cumberland, which included the Second Minnesota Battery (part of William P. Carlin's brigade), to meet Bragg. During heavy skirmishing on December 30, the Minnesota battery's effective counter-battery fire drove off some Confederate guns.
At dawn on December 31, the Confederates attacked the Union right flank and forced the Federal soldiers to retire. Carlin's brigade suffered many casualties. The men of the Second Minnesota Artillery fought hard to prevent their guns from being captured. The battle, known as Stones River, raged back and forth throughout the day without a decisive victor.
After a day of rest, the Confederates attacked again on the afternoon of January 2, 1863. They were forced to retire, largely due to a line of fifty-seven Union cannon. The battle ended in a Union victory.
The Second remained on duty in the Murfreesboro area until the summer of 1863. During this time they traded their four six-pounder guns for ten-pounder Parrott rifled cannon. Between June and September the Army of the Cumberland found itself operating throughout middle Tennessee.
On September 19 and 20, the armies met again at Chickamauga Creek in northern Georgia. On the first day of battle, the Second Minnesota Battery took a position on the right of the Union line. Three times the battery prevented the Confederates from moving around the Northerners' right flank. The battery was in reserve on the second day of the battle. The Union troops were defeated and forced back to Chattanooga.
The Second Battery did not fight in the battles around Chattanooga that November. After a veteran furlough in early 1864, the men returned to the Chattanooga area in June. From then until the war's end, the men did not serve as artillery. First, they were mounted as cavalry. For a few months they performed escort and scouting duty. In October, they were given muskets and served as infantry, garrisoning Chattanooga and Philadelphia, Tennessee, until July 1865. With the war over, the Second returned to Minnesota and mustered out of service on August 16, 1865.

Тюпский район () — административная единица на северо-востоке Иссык-Кульской области Кыргызской Республики Образован 8 февраля 1935 года. Административный центр — село Тюп. Тюпский район — наименьшая административно-территориальная единица Иссык-Кульской области, граничит с Казахстаном.

География
Район лежит на севере области, занимая часть Иссык-Кульской котловины и северо-восток побережья главного озера Киргизии, а также южные склоны хребта Кюнгей-Ала-Тоо (система Северного Тянь-Шаня). Горы превышают 3,5 тысячи метров в высоту, укрыты хвойными лесами, альпийскими лугами и ледниками. Здесь проложено немало маршрутов для любителей горных походов. Главной рекой является Тюп, что впадает в Иссык-Куль с востока. В устье этой реки лежит село Тюп — административный центр.

История
На территории Тюпского района находится курганный комлекс, известный как Сан-Таш («счётные камни»), или иначе Камни Тамерлана. По легенде, отправляясь в поход, Тамерлан повелел каждому своему воину взять камень и сбросить их в одну кучу. По возвращении из похода, уцелевшие подобрали свои камни, а курган из оставшихся камней стал своеобразным памятником погибшим воинам.

Район образован 8 февраля 1935 года. 26 февраля 1943 года 8 сельсоветов Тюпского района были переданы в новый Талды-Суйский район. В 1962 году к Тюпскому району был присоединён Каракольский (Пржевальский) район.

Население
По данным переписи населения Киргизии 2009 года, киргизы составляют 51 578 человек из 58 786 жителей района (или 87,7 %), казахи — 3624 человека или 6,2 %, русские — 2571 человек или 4,4 %, балкарцы — 209 человек или 0,4 %, украинцы — 174 человек или 0,3 %, калмыки — 171 человек или 0,3 %, узбеки  — 139 человек или 0,2 %, другие — 320 человек (0,5 %).
Территория Иссык-Кульской котловины и долины Тюп — самый густонаселённый регион района. Здесь есть условия для занятия земледелием, рыбалкой, скотоводством. Есть несколько промышленных предприятий, занимающихся переработкой сельскохозяйственного сырья, добычей и производством строительных материалов.

Knud Trolle (1705 – 29. maj 1760) var en dansk godsejer.

Han var søn af oberstløjtnant Christian Trolle til Ryegård (ca. 1660-1670 - før 1708) og Hilleborg Knudsdatter Gyldenstierne (30. april 1683 - 17. december 1734). Han arvede Ryegård, som han solgte 1735, og ejede desuden Møllerup, Bogensholm, Holmegård og Broksø. Trolle blev 1726 jagtjunker, 1736 jægermester og 1746 kammerherre.

9. oktober 1737 ægtede han i Vor Frelsers Kirke Birgitte Restorff (1701 - 26. juni 1790), datter af meklenburgske ritmester og ejer af Testrupgård Johan Adolph von Restorff (død før 1703) og Margrethe Elisabeth Krabbe (af Østergaard) (1666-1758). Parret fik ingen børn.

Han er begravet i Voldum Kirke.

Andreas Brünniche har udført et portrætmaleri af Knud Trolle (1753, Rosenholm Slot) og hustruen Birgitte født Restorff (1753, sammesteds og Gavnø-fonden)

Q: Google maps js api working on browser but not on cordova app I am developing a cordova app for android in which I have to embed google maps. I am using google maps js api v3 for that. Now it works on browser but when I try run the app in a android phone(android v5.1.1) nothing shows up.
Here is all the code
index.js
var locator = {
    //locator object; gets the current location
    //functions
    init: function() {
        // fetching position
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(this.locatorSuccess.bind(this), this.locatorError.bind(this), {enableHighAccuracy: true});
    },

    locatorSuccess: function(position) {
        this.latitude = position.coords.latitude;
        this.longitude = position.coords.longitude;
        this.speed = position.coords.speed;
        this.timestamp = position.timestamp;
        this.accuracy = position.coords.accuracy;

        // displaying on map
        this.locatorMap();
    },

    locatorError: function(error) {
        console.log(error.message);
    },

    locatorMap: function() {
        this.latLong = new google.maps.LatLng(this.latitude, this.longitude);

        //google map
        this.map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('rushhour-google-map-area'), {
            center: this.latLong,
            zoom: 16,
        });

        //google map marker
        this.marker = new google.maps.Marker({
              position: this.latLong,
              map: this.map,

What could be the problem?
Thanks.

A: Just try to add cordova plugin for geolocation, once run this command
"cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-geolocation"  and then try again . you will get result.

Q: Union of two disjoint triangles First i must apologize for the bad english coming up, Im not used to writing math in english.
If T1 is a regular triangle with its points A,B,C above the x axis and s0(T1) is the mirror image under the x-axis, with points A',B',C', what then is meant by the union T2 = T1 ∪ s0(T1)?
Since I am to discuss T2s isometrics, I figure it must be a polygon, but Im not sure which one.
Thanks!


Phnom Penh Restaurant in Tucker, GA serves Cambodian cuisine. If you enjoy Thai and Vietnamese food you will find plenty on the Phnom Pehn menu to satisfy your palette.
The restaurant re-opened on December 19th 2008 after being closed for two months for repairs after a small fire damaged the dining area. The tables, chairs and carpet are new and a nice upgrade from what I remember when eating there in July 2008. The following items were ordered for dinner on 3 Jaunuary 2009.
The first thing you'll notice about the coconut soup is the color, it's red. Not just the color but the flavor is different than what you find at most Thai places and frankly it's also better. The soup was served hot and had some ground red pepper flakes floating on top, this soup ranks a 6 out of 10 on the spice scale.
Lots of thin ginger slices, if you're intimidated by ginger this is not the entree for you. The ginger is strong and well…wonderful. There was plenty of sauce under the meat that goes great with white rice. The beef was lean and a little too tough. I would suggest getting this with chicken.
Here is one of those gems that you won't find at your neighborhood drive-through. The quail is fried like good home-style fried chicken. The quail is a welcomed change from the same old chicken we've all had a thousand times before. The black pepper sauce served with the quail is outstanding and if you like it, save some for the other things on your table. The sauce is a solid 7 out of 10 on the spice scale.
The beef and chicken sticks are a real treat and something that you must try if new to the Phnom Penh Restaurant. The marinated beef sticks have a sweet smokey taste. The chicken sticks are also delicious but not as flavorful as the beef. The "sticks" are a 4 on the spice scale.
My wife described the Red Curry Noodles as comfort food. Thin noodles with chicken, potatoes, sprouts, carrots and cucumbers with a mild coconut sauce. The Red Curry Noodles rates only a 2 on the spice scale.
For desert we had the fried banana which was actually plantain. The batter was thin and crispy, much like Japanese tempura. One thing that would promote these into a higher electron orbit would be a dusting of powdered sugar.
The service was very good, our waiter was attentive and friendly. When asked, our waiter was quick to suggest choices from the menu and his recommendations were spot on.
mmmmm. tasty. wish i'd been there! the coconut soup looks delish.
This is one of my favorite spots to eat, and it's a very welcome addition to Tucker!

8. A pale celadon jade immortals and 'shou' character cup
The stoutly carved cup is of inverted bell shape supported on a short straight foot of square-cut section. One side is carved in relief with a stylized shou character, flanked by two lively figures in the round beside rockwork. The figure to the left has a long beard, hair dressed in topknots, and holds a flywhisk in his raised left hand, a book on his raised knee and has a deer by his side, while the figure to the right is beardless and wears a cloth cap, with a crane by his side. On the opposite side of the cup, similarly carved in the round, is a dancing figure with a pointed beard and hair secured with a scholar's scrolled pin. The stone is of light celadon colour with some brownish suffusion.
Bonhams Knightsbridge, 11th May 2015, lot 319
Acquired in Hong Kong in 1958
No jade libation cup with handles carved in the round in the form of immortals appears to have been published. Related libation cups featuring boy- or animal-shaped handles were popular, however. An excavated example of the former, from a Ming tomb, is an octagonal cup with three playing boys, exhibited in the Changsha Museum exhibition in 2018-2019 and illustrated in the catalogue, 金辉玉蕴南京出土宋明金银玉 器展 "Luxurious Gold and Graceful Jade: Gold, Silver and Jade Wares Excavated in Nanjing of Song and Ming Dynasties"; while a cup with different handles, one a dragon and one a boy, is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, dated to the 12th/13th century, illustrated in Chinese Jades, fig. 40, p. 43.
The identification of the three figures here is not clear. They exhibit some of the attributes of the Three Star Gods, Fuxing, Luxing and Shouxing, but other characteristics seem more appropriate to representatives of the Eight Immortals.

You are scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest and find yourself admiring those stunningly designed bedrooms that look like they are straight out of a magazine. You then try to replicate it only to find yourself overwhelmed with options, decisions and costs. The truth is, unless you are an interior designer, it is incredibly difficult to remember to consider every little detail that goes into creating the perfection. However, there are things you can do to make your life a whole lot easier. We have put together a small cheat sheet for you that will guide you through some important elements of the process. It is not the only way, of course, but it is easy to execute on your own.
Step 1: Start with clean walls.
One of the common mistakes many home owners make is selecting a paint color or a wallpaper that's already imposing. Strong colors, textures and design on the walls require a trained eye to select the perfect furniture and accessories. It also limits you in your choices of these items, so can result in higher costs. Lighter, cleaner wallpaper or paint color give you the space to be creative. You can set the tone of the room with wall art, with bedding, with lighting – your options are endless.
Don't forget to do some research prior to buying paint. Different types are suited for different purposes and different households. For example, satin is easier to clean, so is a more practical choice for families with kids.
Step 2. Select the perfect bed.
The bed is a centerpiece of your bedroom. Sounds obvious, right? However, it is crucial that you buy the right bed as it will set the tone to the bedroom design. This is when you ask yourself the question: "What is my interior design style?" Do you want your bedroom to be modern? Contemporary? Boho? Farmhouse? There are so many options. The underlying criteria is that it has to be good quality to look chic. By the way, headboards are back in. This was a huge trend in home design in 2016 and is going strong in 2017.
Make a statement with your bed choice. Try to bold with the color or the materials. Don't be afraid to experiment. If you are hesitant, however, go with a simple, but high-quality bed and decorate it with throw pillows and blankets.
You can get this bed here.
Your bedroom design will never look chic if it is messy. However, we live and move at such high pace that often times cleaning is the last thing on our minds. That's why you have to focus on creating a space that's as easy to maintain as possible. If your bedroom is large, creating storage space will be much easier. If you are restricted in space, you will have to be creative and think of every item in the room and how it can be utilized for hidden storage. For example, don't just get a regular bedroom bench. Get one with a storage.
This is not to say that you can't create an effortlessly chic bedroom design with a carpeted floor. However, hardwood floors are easier to clean, plus, you can change elements of your interior design by simply swapping out the area rug. For example, in winter you can go with faux fur for a cozier, but still chic feel. In summers, you can replace it with a lighter rug in brighter colors.
An area rug is your chance to add an element of elegance and sophistication to your space. Therefore, we recommend to either select a bold color or a geometric pattern on your rug (those are very much in trend, by the way).
Step 5. Time to accessorize.
You now have a solid base to apply finishing touches to your bedroom design. This is where all your restraint in wall colors and smart planning of storage space will pay off big times. For an effortlessly chic look, browse through items that look expensive, yet are slightly understated. For example, you can go with a very basic picture frame structure-wise, yet use it to add a golden accent by painting the frame. Select a clock that will make a statement, yet seamlessly fit into the overall room design.
Use wall art or a set of picture frames to add a pop of color to your space. Your options here are practically limitless. Even if your bedroom is small, be bold and go with an oversized painting.
Add chicness to your bedroom design with throw pillows and blankets. Mix colors and patterns for a more sophisticated look. If you are not confident in your ability to mix and match, go with a simple rule: keep two out of three elements the same and play around with the third one. The three elements are: color, fabric and pattern. So, you can go with the same color and fabric, but get creative with the patterns. Or, same pattern and fabric but in different colors.

SC involved, hope government, farmers would have discussions soon: Union Minister Kailash Choudhary

New Delhi [India], December 16 (ANI): With the Supreme Court expressing its intention to form a committee comprising representatives of farmers union, government and other stakeholders to resolve the issues concerning protesting farmers, Minister of State for Agriculture Kailash Choudhary on Wednesday hoped that date would soon be finalised when government and farmers will sit again for a discussion on three farm laws.
"We welcome the development, farmers too have welcomed it. Hope farmers would delve on it and a day would come where both government and farmers would sit and clear any doubts farmers have on the laws," Choudhary said.
The minister said the three laws are in the interest of farmers and asked if farmer unions can say that they do not want provisions such as freedom to sell produce.
"Can any farmers union come forward and say they didn't want provisions like the freedom to sell and freedom to decide their rates. Such bills have been deliberated over for 20 years and UPA couldn't implement them due to pressure from lobbies of arhatiyas (middlemen)," the minister told ANI.
He indicated that adamancy on 'yes' or 'no' stand will not help find a solution to protest by farmer unions.
"Discuss and resolve is the only way forward," he said.
The minister said that there are farmers who are supporting the laws a kilometre away from the place where protest is being held by blocking the highway.
"I went to a place today which was one kilometre away from the place of agitation and farmers were supporting the bills. Farmers have made this demand for years to have freedom from mediators and to get the price of choice for their produce. It is such a good Act," the minister said.
He said the government is willing to make amendments suggested by farmers in the farm laws.
"For those sitting on the border, I would want to make an appeal to farmers and tell them that the government is ready to make amendments suggested by farmers. The country's farmers are with PM Modi. Those who want the progress of the nation are with these laws. This bill will make farmers atmanirbhar (self-reliant)," he said.
He alleged that Left and other opposition parties have "intruded into" the agitation and "are trying to use farmers for their political ambitions".
"I urge farmers to come to us for any doubts. Those who indulge in politics will never say laws are good. They opposed abrogation of Article 370 and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Soon the government will sit with farmers and will try to resolve the issue," he said.
He alleged that children are being used to propagate false narrative like land will be taken away from farmers under the new laws.
"I want to clarify that agreement is for crops and not for land," he said.
The farmers are protesting against the recently enacted Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday observed that farmers issue "will soon become a national issue" and said that it intends to set up a committee comprising representatives of farmers unions across India, government and other stakeholders to resolve the issues of protesting farmers.
A Bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde and Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian told Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appearing for Centre that it intends to form a committee "because this will soon become a national issue and with the government, it won't work out it seems."
The Bench also issued notice to Centre and State governments on a batch of pleas seeking a direction to authorities to immediately remove the farmers who are protesting at several border points of Delhi against three new farm laws.
The top court also granted permission to implead farmer organisations and posted the matter for hearing tomorrow.
The farmer unions have held five rounds of talks with the government and attended a meeting called by Home Minister Amit Shah. They have rejected the amendment proposals on the three laws sent by the government. (ANI)
