In a little over two months, I'll be packing my bags and heading to Ft. Wayne, Indiana, for the FGS 2013 Conference. The Federation of Genealogical Societies has assembled an impressive line-up of speakers and events for this year's conference, and I'm really looking forward to it. A few weeks ago, in "Why Attend a Genealogy Conference?," I talked about my reasons for going to conferences, particularly FGS 2013. As the August 21 start date is getting closer, I'm thinking more and more about how I'll use my time in Ft. Wayne to help my genealogical research.
First off, I want to learn more about my ancestors. I have to admit that the Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library (ACPL) is a huge draw for me. I've only been there once, and didn't come close to getting through everything I wanted to do. If you haven't researched there before, you're in for a treat. Their collection is amazing—resource books from every state in the U.S. and around the world, a ton of family histories, loads of microfilm, and all the periodicals that make up the PERSI index. It's all easily accessible and laid out quite logically, so you can quickly get down to work after a short introductory tour. If you have any questions as you go along, the friendly Genealogy Center librarians are right there to help you out.
Harold Henderson has written a helpful guide to ACPL, Finding Ancestors in Ft. Wayne, that you can download for free on his website, Midwest Roots. Over the next few weeks I plan to scour the ACPL catalogs and databases he describes and come up with a research battle plan. I especially want to spend some time on PERSI (Periodical Source Index) and make a list of articles in genealogical journals, newsletters, and magazines to look at. I'm driving to Ft. Wayne on Monday morning, even though the conference doesn't start until Wednesday, so I can have extra time in the library to research. The Genealogy Center is staying open until midnight for three nights of the conference, so I'll probably hang out there some evenings, too.
Whew--and I've just scratched the surface! I haven't even mentioned the Military, African American, Ethnic Origins, NARA/Federal, and Religious Communities tracks, or any of the society-oriented tracks. I can see I've got my work cut out for me trying to reach some decisions between now and the third week of August. Take a look at the daily program schedule for yourself, and you'll see what I mean.
The FGS 2013 Conference will be held at the Grand Wayne Convention Center from Wednesday-Saturday, August 21-24. If you haven't registered yet, now is the perfect time. Special early bird discounts are in effect until July 1st. You'll save $50 on the full conference and $20 on a single day if you sign up by then. Visit the conference website at https://www.fgsconference.org to register.
Oh, and be sure to subscribe to the FGS Conference Blog for helpful tips and recommendations. It's the best way to stay up to date and find out about things, like Paula Stuart-Warren's recent post, "The syllabus is the key to the presentation." Scroll through the index to find lots of good stuff.
But enough about me. What do you hope to learn at FGS 2013?
Loudonville Cemetery is the final resting place of many members of the Sanborn family, who migrated to Loudonville, Ohio from New Hampshire before 1840. This stately gravestone marks the burial place of Joseph Haven Sanborn, born 13 January 1831 in Plymouth, New Hampshire, to parents Jeremiah B. Sanborn and Clarissa (Smith) Sanborn. Joseph was a railroad ticket agent for many years. He died in Loudonville, in Ashland County, on 24 August 1895, at the age of 64.
The marker, which bears the inscription "Blessed are the Dead, who die in the Lord," honors Joseph's wife and daughter as well. Clarissa Annah "Clara" Smith (who usually went by Clara, possibly to avoid confusion with her mother-in-law) was born 6 January 1838 in Loudonville. She outlived her husband by many years, until 30 December 1913. The couple's little daughter, Laura Clarissa Sanborn, was born 22 August 1870 and lived only five months, dying on 25 January 1871. Like her father and mother, she has her own little marker showing her actual location in the family plot.
Joseph H. and Clara Sanborn had three other children, who all lived to adulthood: Haven Levant Sanborn, Mary Asenath Sanborn, and Gilman Stanton Sanborn. None of them are buried in Ashland County.
Loudonville Cemetery sits on a hill not far from the center of town, and is well tended. It's a pleasant spot in which to reflect on some of my husband's early Ohio ancestors on a summer day.

Please share some links from where i can get EasyMonkeyDevice import

A: You have to implement ViewServer to use EasyMonkeyDevice :
https://github.com/romainguy/ViewServer
because easyMonkey uses Hierarchy Viewer.
In your activities :
Enable ViewServer for hierarchy viewer like this :
public class MyActivity extends Activity {

     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         ViewServer.get(this).addWindow(this);
     }

     public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        ViewServer.get(this).removeWindow(this);
     }

     public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        ViewServer.get(this).setFocusedWindow(this);
     }
}

A: Alternatively, you can use AndroidViewClient and you won't be forced to implement a ViewServer in your application.
This will do the same as your previous script:
#! /usr/bin/env python

from com.dtmilano.android.viewclient import ViewClient
ViewClient(*ViewClient.connectToDeviceOrExit()).findViewByIdOrRaise('id/btnSignUp').touch()

You can also generate this kind of script or unit tests just by running culebra -UG (in AndroidViewClient tools) and click on the UI representation of the device to automatically generate the touch() invocations.

U.S. 2nd Fleet Re-established to Counter Russian Navy
CNO Richardson at the launch ceremony for 2nd Fleet, Norfolk, Aug. 24 (USN)
By The Maritime Executive 2018-08-24 10:50:25
In a ceremony in Norfolk on Friday, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson formally re-established U.S. 2nd Fleet. The new command is intended bolster the U.S. Navy's capability in the North Atlantic and counterbalance the rising levels of Russian activity in the region.
"Although deeply consequential, the meaning of this establishment can be summarized simply as a dynamic response to a dynamic security environment," said CNO Richardson. "We first need to understand this competitive security environment and why it demands every ounce of our tenacity, ingenuity and fighting spirit. Then we can focus on the mission and how best to accomplish it; 2nd Fleet will enhance our capacity to maneuver and fight in the Atlantic, and as a result, help to maintain America's maritime superiority that will lead to security, influence and prosperity for our nation."
The resurrected 2nd Fleet will still be subordinate to U.S. Fleet Forces Command, which assimilated the former 2nd Fleet in 2011. Fleet Forces will keep its focus on training, manning and equipping the entirety of the Navy.
2nd Fleet's 250 staff will have authority over assigned ships, aircraft and landing forces on the U.S. East Coast and the North Atlantic. It will also have responsibilities for training and certifying combat units within this region before deployment elsewhere.
The command has been stood up once more in order to fulfill the Navy's renewed focus on near-peer competitors. Over the last few years, Russian patrols in the North Atlantic have increased to levels last seen during the Cold War, and having a fleet-level command focused on the region will help the Navy to counterbalance this development.
"Our sea control, our power projection — two vital elements of our national security — are being challenged by resurgent powers, namely Russia and China," said Adm. Christopher Grady, Fleet Forces' newly appointed commander, in comments at Friday's ceremony. "We as a [nation] have not had to confront such peer competitors since the Cold War ended nearly three decades ago."

Wisbech b&b, guesthouse and hotel accommodation
Wisbech in Cambridgeshire
Visit Wisbech and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:
Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. Wisbech stands on the River Nene almost 12 miles from the sea. At one time it was only 4 miles away but changes in the river patterns have altered its position in relation to the Wash. Unlike March whose church is perhaps the main reason for a visit to the town, the architectural beauties of Wisbech lie in its domestic buildings.
As you stand on the bridge over the Nene North Brink extends to the west, the impression is of an anglicized Deift with the terrace of mainly Georgian houses providing variety without sacrificing unity. The most famous of the buildings on the bank of the river is Peckover House, built in the 1720s and an important example of domestic architecture of the period. It is now in the care of the National Trust and you may see inside fine examples of decorative work in plaster and wood. The garden contains a number of rare trees, including one of the largest Maidenhair trees in the country and a glasshouse containing orange trees.
After the Friends Meeting House and a group of gabled houses a number of smaller houses lead to the buildings of the North Brink Brewery. Though North Brink is the more photographed and famous side, South Brink on the opposite bank is hardly less charming. Close to the bridge stands the monument designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott to Thomas Clarkson, one of the fighters for the abolition of the slave trade.
Still active as a port Wisbech is the centre of the agricultural and flower-growing industries of fenland. In the late spring of each year, usually at the end of May, the town is the centre of various routes through surrounding orchards. These routes, which are usually signposted, enable the motorist to see as much as possible of the beauties of the spring blossoms and at the same time avoid the heavy traffic on the main roads.
The large Church of SS. Peter and Paul has the unusual feature of twin naves and aisles. The tower built in the 16th century contains a host of sculptural detail and within the church is the monumental brass to Sir Thomas de Braunstone, an armoured figure some 7 ft long.
Nearby cities: Peterborough
Nearby towns: Downham Market, Holbeach, King's Lynn, March, Spalding
Nearby villages: FCrowland, riday Bridge, Long Sutton, Outwell, Sutton Bridge, Sutton St James, Threeholes, Walpole Highway, Walton Highway

Championing the creative industries in West Yorkshire
Sponsored by Indielab West Yorks2021-08-19T08:37:00+01:00
Tracy Brabin, the newly elected mayor of West Yorkshire, is battling to keep C4 out of private hands and deliver a Creative New Deal for the region
As a former scriptwriter and Coronation Street and EastEnders actress, mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin understands the TV industry better than most politicians.
Elected in May, it's hardly surprising, therefore, that Brabin has moved quickly to bolster the creative economy of West Yorkshire, which spans the councils of Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Calderdale and Kirklees, to help the sector recover from the recent economic shocks.
One of her key campaign pledges to voters is to champion a Creative New Deal that ensures the creative industries are part of the region's broader economic recovery strategy. A key pillar of this will be ensuring the creative sectors benefit from the increased nations and regions' spend from the major broadcasters, including Channel 4, which is now up and running in its new Leeds HQ.
Aligning with this pledge, Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (the LEP) last month announced the launch of Indielab West Yorks: The Creative Catalyst Accelerator.
The West Yorkshire region has emerged as a TV production hotspot since Leeds won the 2018 bid to house C4, which accounts for £492m of UK production spend. Of this, C4 spent £189m on production in the nations and regions in 2019 and £141m in 2020, despite the pandemic-enforced production shutdown.
Lime Pictures' non-scripted label Wise Owl, comedy indie Hell Fire! and Manchester-based Workerbee have opened offices in the city, while broadcasters Sky and UKTV, the National Film and Television School and TV trade body Pact have launched Leeds hubs. In March, the BBC announced that two BBC News teams will move to the city and Indian media services powerhouse Prime Focus recently moved in, too.
C4 is now ingrained on the Leeds media landscape, and Brabin has simultaneously emerged as a vocal opponent of the potential privatisation of the broadcaster, following the government's recently launched consultation.
Having worked in the industry, Brabin recognises that C4's public service remit to champion diversity and inclusion, and to commission content from local production companies, has been key to its "phenomenal" impact on the region. "That's why we bid for C4 to come here, so it's frustrating that we have a company that is going to potentially be taken away from us, or potentially changed beyond recognition from what we bid for."
Brabin says she has started working with other mayors, local MPs and indies to lobby against privatisation. "This isn't just about West Yorkshire," she says. "While it's a jewel in our crown in Leeds, C4 is a national treasure. This is also about C4's activity around the nations and regions – it spends over 50% of its commissioning money outside the M25."
Brabin also believes that PSBs like C4 are a vital part of the ecology of the cultural sector. She recalls her time as Shadow Secretary of State at the DCMS, meeting with streamers such as Amazon and Netflix. "They were telling me, 'We need public service broadcasting because they deliver what we can't.' They are the incubators of talent, who then go on to Netflix and Amazon," she says.
"We will roll up our sleeves and make the case that C4 must stay in our region"
Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire
The plan to sell C4 is "an extraordinary and perplexing decision from a government that is currently under siege with so many other life and death priorities", says Brabin.
"I don't understand why this has managed to get itself so high on the agenda. It's really incumbent upon me as the Mayor of West Yorkshire to stand up for one of our five-star, gold-plated businesses and say to government, 'Tell us your reasoning, because this does not make sense.' We will roll up our sleeves and make the case that C4 in its current construction must and should stay in our region."
While she battles on that front, Brabin remains focused on delivering the Creative New Deal. The LEP's recently launched Accelerator programme is designed to support TV and gaming firms by enhancing their turnover and resilience, as well as providing networking opportunities for local talent.
It will be delivered by creative industries training expert Indielab and provide masterclasses in winning business and delivering content for commissioners such as C4, Netflix and Amazon. It will also help indies become more competitive by expanding their customer bases and maximising revenues from secondary sales in overseas markets.
Brabin says that, in an ever-changing media landscape, there will naturally be some pain for producers as PSBs and global media giants evolve their operating models. "The LEP's partnership with Indielab is about preparing our businesses for exactly that."
The Accelerator programme is part of a £1.5m Creative Catalyst sector development scheme to help grow the creative industries in the region. "We've got a brilliant creative sector in West Yorkshire," says Brabin.
She also cites a thriving gaming industry in Leeds, highly regarded filmmaking courses in Bradford, which was named as the world's first Unesco City of Film in 2009, and 'talent incubator' theatres such as the Lawrence Batley in Huddersfield and the Leeds Playhouse.
"Wellbeing and robust mental health are going to be part of our recovery"
Tracy Brabin
Brabin stresses that she is "not completely focused on the creative industries" and emphasises that her manifesto spans everything from taking local buses into public control to building 5,000 sustainable homes and creating 1,000 jobs for young people. "But my experience as an actor and writer has given me a unique insight into the creative industries," she adds.
As well as turns in Corrie and EastEnders, Brabin starred opposite David Jason in 1989 comedy drama A Bit Of A Do, and played Sarah, Duchess of York, in the 1992 TV movie Charles And Diana: Unhappily Ever After. She has also written for Heartbeat, Family Affairs, Crossroads, The Story Of Tracy Beaker, Doctors, Hollyoaks, Shameless and Seacht, among others.
More recently, she has focused on politics, winning the Batley and Spen by-election in 2016 following the murder of her friend, the MP Jo Cox. She retained the seat for the Labour Party in the 2017 and 2019 general elections, serving as Shadow Secretary of State for the DCMS in Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet, and then as Shadow Minister for Cultural Industries under Keir Starmer.
She stood down as an MP after winning the inaugural Mayor of West Yorkshire election in May. Brabin's victory, with almost 60% of the vote, gives her strategic powers in a region with a population of 2.3 million.
Before the pandemic, Brabin says, the region's creative industries "were absolutely bossing it". She wants investments such as The Creative Catalyst programme to help lift companies back up and to benefit the region. "I think we're going to do incredibly well, once we can come out of Covid," she says.
Brabin cites developments such as the soon-to-open TV and film studio Leeds Studios and creative facility Tileyard North in Wakefield, and the expansion of Wakefield live events facility Production Park as evidence.
She admits that the creative industries can sometimes be viewed as a 'nice to have' rather than a priority by those who don't necessarily engage with them, but she believes they will be pivotal to a "fair and just recovery" from Covid.
"Wellbeing and robust mental health are going to be part of our recovery," she says. "That includes a cultural offer – whether it is playful cities, open-air shows, great libraries, dance for dementia sufferers or art classes for those with depression. Having that creative thread running through everything is going to be quite exciting, but also very important for our growth, our GVA [gross value added], and our wellbeing."

» Paizo Announce Open RPG Creative License In Reponse To OGL 1.1
Paizo Announce Open RPG Creative License In Reponse To OGL 1.1
In the wake of the turmoil surrounding Wizards Of The Coast and Hasbro's OGL 1.1 announcement, Paizo has decided to preempt the folks behind Dungeons & Dragons with their own Open RPG Creative License that is supported by a good chunk of well-known tabletop RPG companies.
Open RPG // Paizo
Find The Transcript Of The Announcement Here
For those not in the know, Linda Codega of Gizmodo last week talked through an extensive leak of the new OGL (Open Gaming License) from Wizards Of The Coast. This is the agreement that allows third-party companies to create content using the basic framework of the D&D rules. It was put into place during Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 and has meant that, throughout 4th and 5th Edition, the popularity of D&D has exploded. You just need to look back at Kickstarter's projects from last year to see just how many people have benefited from the OGL.
The new OGL, OGL 1.1 would put an end to that previous relationship between Wizards Of The Coast and the creators that, for many people, have made their game what it is today. The new agreement asks for payments from creators who earn money off their D&D-related products across a variety of different brackets. The more discomforting aspect of the new agreement (as it stands) is that if you sign up, you effectively give Wizards Of The Coast the right to use your work in whatever manner they see fit amongst a multitude of other interesting pitfalls.
It seems pretty overwhelmingly unpopular amongst the tabletop roleplaying game community, both gamers and companies. If you want a very comprehensive breakdown of all of this, it is best to refer to Codega's Gizmodo Article as they have done a sterling job of making it easy to understand where creators stand at this point in time.
Open RPG Creative License
That is where Paizo and a bunch of other companies have stepped in. The Open RPG Creative License (ORC) will...
"...be built system agnostic for independent game publishers under the legal guidance of Azora Law, an intellectual property law firm that represents Paizo and several other game publishers. Multiple leading publishers have already signed on to the effort to create a new and truly open license that allows all games to provide their own unique open rules reference documents that open up their individual game systems to the world."
The idea is to get companies to work together to produce properly open gaming licenses for creators to use. Paizo and the Pathfinder system will be one such option but companies like Chaosium, Green Ronin and Kobold Press have all joined in, proposing new open-use rulesets that creators and play around with. You can find Kobold Press' announcement HERE as an example.
It seems like there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for creators and by extension, consumers. Whilst there might be some big announcements from Wizards Of The Coast over the next few days about the direction of their OGL, it seems like other companies have beat them to the punch. Why risk working with them when there is a new offer in town?
Has the bubble burst for D&D?

A quick response, and a good one. WOTC have really messed up here.
odinsgrandson
I wonder how well WotC can walk it backwards now.
darkvoivod
I wish the community would have such reactions to gw's practices. Consumers do have power and it'll make the hobby better in the long run.
I think the big difference is that with OGL there are other *companies* that are potentially loosing sales and they are up in arms. With GW it's "just" consumers being screwed.
willandheart
I believe customers always give the best answer with their wallets. If GW had recorded gigantic losses in sales over the years after their fatal ideas, they would certainly have changed their approach.
I honestly think GW has changed their approach after seeing major losses at least a few times in the past. Remember when Age of Sigmar was first released- without any way to play a balanced pick up game against someone at your LGS? The switch to General's Handbooks were certainly a combination of seeing losses and reading fan criticism. I think the same is true for the big changes they made in 8th edition- For a while there, X-Wing was outselling 40k in North America. More recently, we've seen GW respond very quickly to the criticism of the new Squats… Read more »

Seems to me that WotC don't like the fact that other companies are getting bigger and making money from D&D, but they are forgetting that they got bigger because of those other companies. And I can see why content creators are angry about this… However… the new D&D OGL will force creators to be more… creative… instead of just making D&D books and adventures they can create their own rule system and make the game they want to make without being hampered by the flaws and constraints of 5e. Admitedly they may find it harder to compete with D&D, but… Read more »

What the OGL did was divorce the "Operating System" from the "Game", to use computer terms. In the computer world you use an Operating System like Windows or Linux which provides a basic set of functionality. Then third parties, or first parties for that matter, create programs to do specific tasks using that basic functionality. OGL really did that for the TTRPG market. Look at all the D20 compatible games that came out after OGL, you could play Star Wars (First Party), Pathfinder (Third Party), Traveller (Third Party), Call of Cthulhu (Third Party), Modern (First Party), and these are just… Read more »
onlyonepinman
The problem with what you're saying is that way back at the turn of the century, WotC invented the OGL on the premise that there were, at the time, too many competing game Systems and that it was strangling the industry. The OGL was issued to try and resolve that issue by creating what was essentially a standardised rules set (i.e. D20 system, somewhat crucially NOT called D&D) which could then be used by anyone wishing to produce RPGs. No longer would developers have to invent a new set of rules which players would then have to learn. Instead, creatives… Read more »
Unfortunately this is a very common phenomenon these days watching companies whose founders were passionate and worked hard on their success, so that several decades later their successors, driven by greed, brought the company to the brink of collapse.
I think passionate creative types can run a business into the ground just as well as a market driven company.
The issue here is how tone-deaf this is to both the fans and the community of creators that are responsible for D&D's current domination of the market. They've raised a goose that lays golden eggs with that community and now they've proposed cutting it open.
And now Paizo is offering a nice new home for runaway geese.
darthcheese
This would explain why Modiphius released their 2D20 system as an open licence this week.
An another massive OG to the business.
An a slap in the face for gamers.
horati0nosebl0wer
Someone throws a match and watch a million wallets burn might be the best visual image here. In this case, unlike GW doing it to the consumer by torching previous editions, "specialist games" and releases of particular models, this is WoTC putting the income for their own creative teams and assorted business attachments (the nongamer parts of the corporate business) to the flame as people turn toward being actively creative homebrew endeavors to be dispersed courtesy of modern technology. We have Paizo at present because of this. What's going to come next?

The more discomforting aspect of the new agreement (as it stands) is that if you sign up, you effectively give Wizards Of The Coast the right to use your work in whatever manner they see fit amongst a multitude of other interesting pitfalls. Well, if a creator is fine with giving away their content free, this won't affect them.

Did Wizards of the Coast forget that the last time they tried to do away with the OGL, Paizo was right there to say "Hi everyone who is disgruntled with WotC- we'll take you and keep doing that thing you liked."
Even as Wizards attempts to walk this backwards, I really wonder if many 3rd party creators are going to feel uncomfortable with Wizards of the Coast now that Wizards has suggested that they think they can rescind the OGL at any time with no warning and a clause that says Wizards owns everything you made.
It's so sad. WoTC only try to extract all the profits from the market and commie gamers turn on their innocent, capitalist attempts in such a manner :C

Scapegoating the NRA does nothing to prevent mass shootings like the one in Parkland, Florida.
For some time now, ever since the latest school shooting in Parkland, Florida, anti-gun activists and politicians of a certain stripe, have been blaming the National Rifle Association for the tragedy.
Because the NRA, a group with 5 million members, supports the Second Amendment and fights laws and regulations that make it tougher for law-abiding citizens to own firearms, we are told it is their fault that a homicidal 19-year-old attacked his former school and killed 17 people.
Now, several mayors of medium-size cities have weighed in to complain that part of the problem is that their own state legislatures prevent them from passing the "common-sense" gun laws that would save lives.
In the April 5 edition of the Enquirer, mayors Andrew Gillum (Tallahassee), Bill Peduto (Pittsburgh), and Ted Wheeler (Portland, Ore.), penned an Op-Ed, asking citizens to contact their state lawmakers to "demand an end" to state laws that prevent them from enacting their own forms of gun-control.
"We owe it to those who have lost their lives to gun violence, and to those whose lives we can save yet from tragedy," they write.
As for what these "common-sense" and "thoughtful" new gun laws would be, Gillum, Peduto and Wheeler decline to say. They are too busy complaining that state laws prevent them from enacting whatever regulations they and their colleagues deem warranted.
And given that Kentucky's state constitution specifically acknowledges the "inherent and inalienable right... (of its citizens) to bear arms in defense of themselves..." any politician or government official who would violate those rights does so at the risk of his own liberty.
The same penalty ought to available to any local official who would pass a law restricting any inalienable right in our Constitution; from the right to practice your religion to your right to speak your mind without the threat of being fined or locked up.
It's not hard to imagine the reaction of these particular mayors (all Democrats, though curiously not identified as such) if a less enlightened municipality decided it too should be free to pass laws that offend state law or the U.S. Constitution.
How about a town that decided to not only to outlaw abortion but also to lock up any woman in the community they found to have had one?
That wouldn't be good now would it?
At least, the NRA has to pay to play. Planned Parenthood gets paid to play to the tune of $500 million a year of your tax dollars.
In response to the most recent shooting, the most talked about "common-sense" gun restrictions by pro-gun-control fans are these: bans on the sales AR-15s, raising the age limits on who can buy firearms and "universal" background checks.
There are good arguments for doing all these things but just as good arguments for doing none of them; the main ones against being that new regulations will do virtually nothing to prevent the sorts of crimes they are intended to prevent.
In any case, under current law, banning the sales of AR-15s would be illegal. They are protected by the Supreme Court (D.C. vs Heller) by virtue of being the most popular in-use rifles in America.
No age limit is going to prevent a teenager from stealing his parent's rifle and attacking a school a la Adam Lanza in Sandy Hook. And we still can't get states to fully comply with current reporting and background check regulations.
Given that it was local school policies and law enforcement failures that contributed greatly to the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, one would hope that instead of whining about having their hands tied by their state legislatures, these mayors would be more focused on specific threats when they arise and pro-active policing.
In Parkland, there was more than enough evidence – from actual crimes committed to threats conveyed via social media – to have thoroughly justified the detaining and disarming of Nikolas Cruz.
That didn't happen and it should have.
And no amount of scapegoating the NRA or any other excuse is going to remove that blame from where it rightfully and directly lies.

High-Quality Hay Comes Down to a Few Factors
Hay is one of the most popular and widely used feed for livestock. While some may argue that quantity trumps quality when it comes to hay, that is rarely the case. Instead, quality hay is critical for happy and healthy livestock which translates into profitability for producers.
However, there are a number of factors that go into quality hay, including superior management practices and an attention to detail by producers. But which factors are the most important? Ask 100 hay producers and you are likely to get 100 different answers. What follows, however, is a list of the five most important factors necessary for the production of high-quality hay, according to experts in the hay industry.
Maturity of the Plant. Forage quality comes down to the maturity of the plant at the time of the harvest. While many hay producers will forgo forage for yield, doing so is a detriment to animal performance.
Forage Species. It is critical to use the highest quality species that will grow and thrive in your geographical region and environment. While the options are endless for what you can grow, the options for what you should grow are far less.
Storage. Hay bales stored outdoors with no protection will reduce hay quality and quantity—significantly. Moisture penetration does a number on hay bales and leads directly to lost feed.
Rain while Curing. Rain causes carbohydrates to seep out of the forage tissue. This causes a rise in the concentration of fiber while digestibility and dry matter intake are lowered. The worst damage occurs when rain falls on forage that is in the latter stages of the wilting process.
Moisture while Baling. Hay baled when it is too wet causes excessive heating. While the worst scenario is spontaneous combustion, other issues can occur, as well. Heated hay is likely to have high concentrations of heat-damaged, undigestible protein. While this protein is palatable to livestock, it has little nutritional value. Baling hay that has moisture levels of 15 percent or less is ideal.
Hay is one of the most important crops a farmer grows in light of the fact that it keeps livestock growing. Therefore, it is critical to grow high-quality hay that livestock will be appetizing and provide for the nutritional needs of livestock.

Foreshores Site Lease (Latest GM Column 23 September 2017)
I'm aware that there's been a lot of comment on social media about Council's decision – as Corporate Manager of the Coffs Coast State Park Trust – to enter into negotiations over a short-term, three-year lease with Community Care Options for the use of the foreshores site previously used by the Deep Sea Fishing Club.
I would like to take this opportunity to help correct a few misconceptions. Firstly this is not a long-term plan for the site. Council, as Corporate Manager of the Coffs Coast State Park Trust, was directed by the NSW Government's Crown Lands body to put out a public Expression of Interest (EOI) for any groups that might want to make use of the site – but only on a three-year basis.
The short timeframe was very deliberate. This three-year window gives us time to work with the NSW Government on longer-term opportunities that take full advantage of the site.
We knew when we put out the EOI that a three-year lease would be highly unlikely to attract any commercial interest as that wouldn't allow a business the time they would need to make a significant return on any investment.
But simply leaving the facility unoccupied during that time would actually cost money in maintenance and repair.
We expected – and we hoped – that local community groups would be the people most interested in taking over the facility on this basis.
As for the long-term, the future strategic direction of the broader foreshores precinct is currently being explored by a NSW Government-initiated group, which brings together a range of government agencies that have an interest in the Jetty Foreshores location.
This group is taking a multi-agency, 'whole of Government' approach to the broader strategic direction of the Coffs Harbour foreshores precinct – a strong indicator that the foreshores are a high priority location for the State Government.
This broader direction is expected to inform a future, long-term competitive tender process as per the requirements set by the NSW Government for the former Deep Sea Fishing Club site.

The discovery and properties of the thick disc will constrain the dominant physical processes involved in the formation and evolution of large spiral galaxies like our own Milky Way.
By analysing precise measurements of the velocities of individual bright stars within the Andromeda galaxy using the Keck telescope in Hawaii, the team have managed to separate out stars tracing out a thick disc from those comprising the thin disc, and assess how they differ in height, width and chemistry.


A delicious, crumbly gooseberry cake on the cover of the May/June 2014 issue of Hobby Farm Home had many readers begging for more details—and the recipe to recreate. Farm-fresh berries—whether the more commonly used raspberries, strawberries and blueberries or lesser used currants and gooseberries—are always a great excuse to experiment in the kitchen, so our recipe developers took the challenge of remaking this moist, golden cake that can be made in your cast iron skillet.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 8-inch skillet in oven to warm.

2M U.S. residents urged to evacuate over Hurricane Matthew; Florida deploys more National Guard troops
By Andrew V. Pestano

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 6 (UPI) -- More than 2 million people have been urged to evacuate and nearly1,500 flights have been canceled in the United States as Hurricane Matthew churned through the Bahamas, taking aim for the U.S. East Coast.
At least 25 deaths have been attributed to Hurricane Matthew in the Caribbean, mostly in Haiti. Florida, Georgia and South Carolina state officials have urged residents to evacuate if their homes are in Matthew's potential path of destruction.
"Do not surf. Do not go on the beach. This will kill you," Florida Gov. Rick Scott said during a Thursday press conference. "There is no reason not to leave."
Scott suspended traffic tolls in counties where evacuations are in effect for the hurricane.
RELATED Hurricane Matthew strengthens near northern Bahamas; Florida braces
Scott also activated an additional 1,000 National Guard troops to assist with hurricane relief efforts, bringing the total of deployed National Guard members in the state to 2,500.
Travel through the Caribbean and in south Florida has been disrupted by the storm. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport closed at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, canceling dozens of flights, while more than 250 flights have been canceled at the Miami International Airport since Tuesday.
"Upon suspension of services, airport guests will no longer be allowed into the airport. Please seek alternate shelter locations during this time, as the airport is not a shelter," the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airport said in a statement. "At this time, we have not determined when services will be restored."
RELATED Hurricane Matthew wreaking havoc with sporting events
FlightAware reported 1,490 flights had been canceled Thursday in the United States and some 3,435 were delayed.
Most major airlines have granted fee waivers to travelers whose plans have been disrupted by Matthew.
Matthew, a Category 4 hurricane early Thursday, is heading north in the Caribbean toward the northwestern Bahamas and near the Florida coast, the National Hurricane Center said.

World's Largest Dump Truck Weighs in at 496 Tons
Highly specialized engineering operations often require vehicles that are on a scale seen nowhere else in the industry, and the BelAz 75710 is no exception. The largest dump truck in the world features a conventional 2-axle set-up but with 4 wheels on each axle. The turning radius is 20 meters and it can travel up to a top speed of 64 km/hr. It is hard to grasp the absolute scale of a truck this large, but imagine a 3-story tall building moved by 3-meter wheels, then you start to get the picture.
The Siemens MMT 500 drive system is powered by dual 65-litre 16-cylinder diesel engines, each with 2,300 horsepower. This power gives the truck the capability of hauling 496 tons of load. What applications could possibly warrant the need for a truck that could carry away your whole neighborhood? Mining.
Large scale mining is about the only industry where carrying this amount of dirt for the cost of one of these trucks makes any sense. Oh, did we mention each one costs US$6 million? Don't expect the fuel efficiency of the 75710 to win any awards either, as the fuel consumption is 198 g/kWh per engine. The Belarusian manufacturer is investing a total of US$644 million into developing the truck further, and it is one of the most impressive mechanical engineering feats ever constructed.
[Image Source: Awesome Earthmovers]
I have had the pleasure of visiting a large scale mining operation and seeing one of the BelAz 75710's close relatives. Seeing a truck that is larger than the house you grew up in is a little intimidating at first, and it really makes you appreciate the engineering profession you have gotten into. The largest truck in the world is so large that it feels like it shouldn't be able to move. It is a marvel of mechanical engineering, and its scale will likely never be topped. Until, maybe, we start mining Mars where the lower gravity allows for bigger vehicles. Who knows.

Tommy kept walking, trying not to let his limp show. It made his leg hurt even more, but it was important not to stand out. Not in this neighborhood, and not on a day when his diagnosis had just gone very public.
He cringed as he recalled the very election photos he had posed for, flashing across the television screens, splattered and vandalized with bold letters, reading "Liar...Sympathy vote...Pity party...." Smear campaigns gloomily informed citizens "A vote for Tommy Owens is a vote for government dishonesty." He wondered if the venomous messages played themselves on repeat throughout the minds of voters as they did his own.
Psychosomatic limp was the medical term. It was the term gently spoken to him by his psychiatrist two weeks ago as he sat in the cold, clinical office. It was the term he had shuttered at, trying relentlessly to understand, the term which had infiltrated breakfast table conversations across the state. It was the very term that had slandered his campaign and belittled his character.
Tommy did have a limp. He was not lying about or faking it, as the opposing candidates played to their favor. This is where the lie was, but it was easily bought by those willing to believe anything they read online or watched in the news. With a quick twist of reality, Tommy had been labeled a scam, a liar...a candidate who lost all credibility.
But he did, in fact have a limp - a psychosomatic limp. His doctor went into detail explaining what that term meant. Boiled down, it basically meant that he was experiencing the very real pain and inconvenience of a limp simply and entirely because he believed he had one; There was no real physical cause to lead to it. Tommy later read online that a psychosomatic illness was a physical disorder caused solely by the mind. He had dented his laptop upon reading such a definition, after chucking it against a wall.
He allowed himself to ease the pressure of his left footing when he noticed the crowds had thinned. He released the clench of his jaw and inhaled deeply, then mindfully exhaled. He walked with purpose, however unevenly, towards the corner where his doctor resided during business hours. Checking his watch, he noted he would be arriving early for his appointment.
As he approached a bench which decorated the sidewalk outside the office, he sat down to wait the odd fifteen minutes or so. He checked his email; His assistant had sent over survey results which speculated he had lost a significant number of supporters. He muttered a profanity under his breath. He would have to arrange an impromptu meeting with his campaign team after his appointment.
He grunted as a shot of pain drove itself through his leg as he put weight back on his feet. He signed in and took a seat inside the waiting room. When his name was called, he felt a few glares in his direction, ignored them and made his way back to his psychiatrist's office.
Review my (Super) Short Sci-Fi Story!
I feel so unqualified when it comes to anything tech. I don't need the top phone on the market, but I'm really looking for something fairly easy to use, that takes great quality photos and videos, and can be paid off on a monthly plan. Not looking to spend more than $35/monthly. I have a chromebook, if for any reason that would be considered for synching the phone...not sure if that's a stupid thought lol. Like I said...not the smartest when it comes to this!
If you have any opinions, advice, or guidance I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Oh boy, I even read the rules first... thanks for the help!
Dedicating this time of my life to growing comfortable in the midst of uncomfortable feelings, situations, etc. Living with bipolar, depression, and anxiety. Let's focus on loving others.


A camera obscura is a dark box with a small hole in the front. Light passes through this hole and lands on the back of the box, casting an upside-down version of the scene. Although this idea had been understood by scholars for hundreds of years, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was the first to write a detailed description of the camera obscura in his Atlantic Codex in 1490. An astronomer named Gemma Frisius (1508-1555) was the first to draw a camera obscura around 1545.

Actually: unlike the Indian tribes 400 years ago warring amongst themselves and not having decent weaponry; the USA is still quite capable of stopping the flow of illegal aliens, in this case, from Mexico and of SoB does not 'play ball'---------we can disable that nation by various means.
I know more than enough about Native American history, thanks.
They worked together a lot more than you know.
If America can stop it, they haven't done a very good job and in fact, nobody has or can say anything against my argument for immigration being right.
Legal immigration is acceptable. Illegal immigration is not.
And the Indians still lost the war. Just accept the fact that the Euros were simply bigger and badder 'Indians'. Needless to say: by the standards of the era..........such behavior was acceptable. Just accept it and move on. And the Indians today have the same rights (at least in the USA) as the dominant race/ethnicity.
It is over; just accept it. The pro illegal side lost the war. Needless to say: it is little more than mop-up operations now i.e. expelling those remaining illegal aliens here in the USA.
So, then - are you saying it's a good idea or at least OK to run someone off of their property to take it over for your own use?
If you go back and reread the OP, you will find out that it is a kvetch because immigrants are here. I was merely explaining why I am here. Had my ancestors stayed where they were and not run the Indians off, I would be somewhere in England at the present.
Not judgemental, just stating the facts.
This is a rather awkward argument here. Are you saying the current people crossing illegally from Guatemala and Mexico had relatives living in the area now the US, hundreds of years ago?
There are no two ways about it. I own my land, I bought it and continue to pay taxes on it. Come onto my land intrusively and you get shot, I can do that where I live. And "Hello?!!??!!, It's 2010". Time to wake up and go to school now.

2. Or you believe we are illegal in America because the Native Americans did not want us here.
No one is here illegally if they were born here. Those who came here long ago are all dead now. Even the native Americans didn't sprout up out of the ground like corn. They also came from somewhere else. Get your head out of the history books and into the year 2010. You yourself said we shouldn't let history repeat itself, therefore we are protecting our country from illegal entry. If it is racist to do so then that means that the native Americans were also racist for trying to protect their land.

I loved you at the moment of conception.
Your father and I decided to extend our timeline through you. You were our eternity.
As you grew inside me, I enthusiastically prepared for your arrival.
But my enthusiasm turned into fear – fear for your survival.
I realized that the world may not be as excited to have you here.
may not be ready to align your path with the golden opportunities our ancestors paid in blood for.
Well you, my love, are a Black boy.
warm like an indian summer in september.
But the world has yet to fully incorporate your beauty into its' pallet.
They walk blindly, speak ignorantly, & kill unmercilessly.
They will try to color you out of history.
But I will not let them, I refuse to let them.
Your beauty, your genius, your art, your strength, your fight, your compassion, your style, your poise, your voice will live on as long as I have breath to declare it to the world.
I will write your history down.
Your birth will be your day of crowning and the start of your reign.
And I will be there to properly adorn you with the love and guidance they tried to deny you.
And your story – our story- will be an epic tale of triumph and glory.
we will leave the world outside for now…and dream.

Ah, the Englishman's dream. It's a full plate of helpings of sunny side up eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, tomatoes, toast, and marmalade, and it's usually paired with coffee, tea, or orange juice. Full of carbs and protein, this meal is sure to keep you fueled for the day.
In all its deep-fried glory, fish and chips have remained a staple on English menus. Fish—usually cod or haddock—is deep-fried in batter, served with dill dip, and chips. British chips, not to be confused with American chips, are thick cuts of potatoes. Together, they make for the best English comfort food out there.
This is the dish that Gordon Ramsay is renowned for. It's filet mignon, lathered with pâté and mushroom paste, inside the tender embrace of puff pastry. It can be a hard meal to cook, but the Brits have it down to perfection.
Don't worry, it's not actually a frog. It's sausages in Yorkshire pudding, and it goes great with onion gravy, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. It's called "toad in the hole" because it resembles a toad poking its head out of a hole, but to us, it just looks like a mighty good dinner.
Here's another dish whose name will have you scratching your head, but it's just another delicacy that attests to the Brits' love for sausage. Bangers and mash is simply sausages and mashed potatoes, swimming in onion gravy.
It sounds like a dirty room, but it's actually closer to banana split ice cream. It's a concoction of strawberries, bananas, meringue, and cream. This dessert used to be served during the annual cricket match between Harrow School and—you guessed it—Eton College, which is where this dessert gets its name.
This isn't an alcoholic beverage made with shrimp, but it can be served in a martini glass. Shelled, cooked prawns line the rim of the glass, and the glass holds cocktail sauce, which consists of mayonnaise, tomato sauce, and a pinch of Tabasco.
The British have found something to do with all the vegetables left over from your beef wellington dinner. This meal is basically just vegetables—potatoes, cabbage, peas, and more—tossed in a pan and fried. It's served with leftover beef, eggs, or even a full English breakfast. This dish gets its name from the squeaking and bubbling sounds that cabbage makes when it's in the frying pan!
Joining the list of England's quirkily-named food is this dish that's been quite the headache for restaurant managers because of the double entendre that the name inspires. It's pudding! It's pudding with suet (raw beef fat or mutton) and dried fruits like raisins and currants, and it's served with custard. The origin of its name is unclear—probably an evolution of slang for "pudding"—but it tastes great, all the same.
This is a dessert made with fruit, lots of custard, fruit jelly, and sponge cake soaked with sherry. It's very sweet and fruity, and it has the subtle, bitter aftertaste of wine, which makes it a great dessert with balanced flavors.
There are no surprises here—this pie is made with diced beef and diced kidney (usually beef, lamb, or pork). The pie also has fried onion and gravy, and all this is topped with puff pastry. Considered one of the most popular British dishes, it wouldn't be complete without a quirky name. Luckily, the English have had some fun with rhyming, and the pie is also nicknamed Kate and Sidney pie, snake and kiddy pie, and snake and pygmy pie.
The English do love their traditions, and pie and mash is a very traditional dish. It has been around for centuries, and it actually started out as a pie made of eel. Today, it's just minced beef between the pastry crusts of the pie, and it's usually served with mashed potato—all this atop liquor, a sauce made primarily of parsley. Because this is one of England's long-standing traditional food, we do encourage you to visit a pie shop if you ever find yourself in the country. Who knows—you might even run into David Beckham, who is said to frequent his favorite pie shop in East London.
This actually isn't a pudding, but it is very black, because it's made with pork blood. It's a blood sausage made from pork fat or beef suet, oatmeal, and pork blood. It's very savory and it's rich with protein, and this proves that the British have quite a strong stomach.
The British are people of tradition, and their food reflects the age-old quirks and sensibilities of their culture. British cuisine has everything to offer: Deep-fried meat, meat in pastries, sausages and the world's best mashed potatoes. All this food is vying for your attention. Which British delicacy is to your taste?

Q: How to access VMWare guest OS file system from host? I have a Ubuntu guest OS running on VMWare Workstation 12 on a Windows 10 host machine. Recently the guest OS became unbootable. I have a snapshot from a couple weeks ago, but I wish to recover the files in the unbootable VM, and so far I have been unable to boot from a Live DVD. Is there any way to access the guest OS, eg. some tool to mount the file system on Windows 10 host machine?
Thanks!

A: There are two relatively straightforward ways to do this. The first requires that you know the filesystem in use on the partition(s) that you want to access. I believe Ubuntu 16.04 will default to ext4, but you could have changed that to xfs, btrfs, even zfs if you did a custom install. If you created an LVM volume group or other customized partitioning / volume scheme than this approach will be far harder than the second option below.
Option 1
If you used one of the following filesystems on your partitions (ignoring swap):
Ext2/3/4
ReiserFS, Reiser4
HFS, HFS+
FAT, exFAT
NTFS, ReFS
UFS2
Then download and install Disk Internal's Linux Reader
It will provide read access to the list file systems. If you have a different file system, things get tougher - and more 'experimental' - go to option two instead.
Once that is installed, run it, and select 'Drives' / 'Mount Image' / 'Containers' / VMware Virtual disks (*.vmdk)  then click next
Browse to the location of the .vmdk file for your ubuntu virtual machines hard drive, confirm it, and it will mount any partitions it finds in that vmdk that it can provide access to. They will be accessible through the Linux Reader GUI as well as in normal Windows Explorer.
Option 2
This option requires that you create a new Linux based virtual machine in vmware workstation. Use the distro of your choice - the fedora 24 beta is pretty sweet, or you could just use ubuntu 16.04. Regardless of your distro choice, install a standard VM, using entirely new settings / location - not in the same location or using the same name as the previous ubuntu VM.
Once that installation is totally complete, turn off the new VM (not suspend - powered down). On the VMWare Workstation Pro GUI, select the new VM in the list on the left usually - under My Computer in the VMWare window.
Then select 'VM' / 'Settings'
You should be on the Hardware tab when the new window opens. Click 'Add', Select Hard Drive (usually is already selected), 'Next', 'Next' Again, then 'Use an existing virtual disk', and 'next'. Click the Browse button and browse to the vmdk file, select it, click ok, then finish.
Power up the new VM, and the your old Ubuntu disks will be available, although unmounted, to the Linux OS.
If you need assistance in mounting the drives in the Linux enviroment, let me know - it's straightforward - I don't know your level of knowledge and don't want to waste everyones time explaining what may be obvious to you.
Basically you want to determine how the drives got detected by the system, one simple method is to open a konsole and type ll /dev/sd*
The old Ubuntu drive that is now new to the new VM will be a higher letter, likely /dev/sdb if you only had one HD in the VM previously.
Each partition on the new drive will be mounted individually. You will need to create (mkdir) a mount spot for each partition, and as root, type mount /dev/sdb1 /path/to/your/new/mount/spot
This mounting scheme is temporary - you'd have to add entries to fstab (or perhaps ubuntu has a GUI based method) for it to persist.
One caveat - if you use LVM or brtfs to create volume groups, and it was a default option for both installs, they may have the same name and you will not be able to mount the new drive without renaming it. Seems unlikely with Ubuntu - it's typical with CentOS / RHEL.
If you need additional detail on the mounting in the VMs or something doesn't work just post where things stopped working. I actually did most of this (on win 10 with vmware 12 pro, Fedora 23 VM and a vmdk from a RHEL 7 VM), and didn't have any issues.
Note
If you have VMWare Workstation Pro 12, and I believe 10 or 11, you actually have tools built in to mount the drives. What VMWare doesn't provide is filesystem support - which is far more than half the battle.
For WS 12, simply browse to your .vmdk file in windows explorer, right click it, and select 'Mount Virtual Disk'. You can then pick which partition you want to mount, and to which windows 'mountpoint' letter. It will then be available via windows explorer. Be careful though - if you don't have filesystem support, windows will helpfully recommend that you format it so you can use it. That's not going to work out well. There are a number of free utilities to add mostly read only access to 'linux' file systems; install one of those first for your filesystem and this method can also work. The Linux Reader approach is recommended simply because you can do it all with one tool.

A: https://superuser.com/a/424494/594423
I attempted to view my own f:\virtualmachines\ubuntu 64-bit.vmdk file contents using Window 7 disk mount and various other onhand tools but none are compatible - file system error mostly. I'm not surprised but was worth the 2 minutes to test.
The above linked solution, using vdk.exe looks promising but I have given up as the instructions for usage are more complicated than I have effort to try.
Good luck.

Singapore, August 16, 2019 — NGC Ventures, one of the world's leading institutional investment firms, has announced a strategic investment in Vid, a video-centric social media app that allows users to control their data and monetize their memories.

Sometimes an invention comes around that's so genius, that you just had no idea it was even an option! That's pretty much what the Fanbrella is! It's a fan integrated into an umbrella. This way no longer will you be filled with shade from the umbrella, but you'll also get a nice breeze on a hot still Summer day!
There seems to be two versions of the fanbrella, one of which is fully integrated into its own hand-held umbrella that you can carry around while getting a cool breeze blown onto you while you walk around. But there's another version that seems to be an add-on to your existing stationary outdoor umbrella. This way you don't have to buy an entire umbrella, but just the fan part, and install it on your umbrella.
The Fanbrella stationary fits around any standard umbrella pole. To install it, just remove your umbrella pole from the its base, then slide the Fanbrella device up your umbrella pole to the top where it won't hit any part of the umbrella once it starts moving. Then just reattach it to the base.
The travel version of the Fanbrella is powered by 6 AA batteries which will provide 5.5 hours of continuous fan use. The stationary version of the Fanbrella is meant to be plugged into an outlet.
Check out the Fanbrella in action via the video below.

We all have hymnals filled with wonderful songs and hymns. In Ephesians Chapter 5 verses 18 and 19 we read, And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.
In most hymn books across this country, there is a song that should not be there - The Battle Hymn of the Republic. We take a look at the history of this song and why it does not belong in the category of Christian hymnology. It should not be included in our hymnbooks.
Now, the war had begun, the war that we called the Civil War, which was not really a civil war. It was a war between the states, because thirteen states had officially pulled out. They were not trying to take over the government in Washington, it was a separate country, separate cabinet, separate President, separate capitol city, and separate armies, so they were fighting one another as two separate countries.
But there was a woman, the wife of Samuel Gridley Howe, the medical doctor, and Mr. Howe was a rich man, and he met these three sisters, and they were the Ward sisters. They were intelligent. They all had a lot of money from New York and he fell in love with Julia.

Jakljan je otok u Elafitskim otocima, kod Dubrovnika

Nalazi se zapadno od otoka Šipana, odnosno sjeverozapadno od Dubrovnika.

Na otoku se nalazi zapušteno dječje odmaralište. U neposrednoj blizini otoka 2003. godine pronađeno je nekoliko kamenih sarkofaga za koje se smatra da su prevoženi iz Bračkog kamenoloma u antičku Salonu. Dne 24. svibnja 2014. na Jakljanu je otkriveno spomen-obilježje dvjestočetrnaestorici hrvatskih i njemačkih vojnika koje su nakon kraja Drugog svjetskog rata 1945. godine strijeljali partizani. U uvali Veliki Jakljan bilo je najvažnije uporište Odreda naoružanih brodova korišteno pri probijanju neprijateljskog okruženja Dubrovnika tijekom Domovinskog rata.

You are here: Home / Tourism / Shrines and temples / Munakata Taisha Shrine, Fukuoka
Munakata Taisha Shrine, Fukuoka
Munakata, located in the northern part of Kyushu, has been an area where many exchanges have been linked since ancient times as the gateway between Japan and the Korean Peninsula. The shrine "Munakata Taisha", which is positioned as the center of the shrine, is a collective term for Okinoshima and other two islands floating off the coast of Munakata, Okitsu-miya and Nakatsu-miya and Hetsumiya on the mainland. These were registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2017 as "Sacred Island of Okinoshima and Associated Sites in the Munakata Region". This world heritage may be attracting attention as sacred places because of the natural beliefs that have been passed down since the ancient times of Munakata Taisha, which appears in "Kojiki" (The Records of Ancient Matters). Also, it may be due to the mysterious charm and natural scenery, such as the existence of places where only priests can enter.
From Japan Railway Hakata Station, you can get to Togo Station on the Kagoshima Main Line in about 30 minutes using a rapid train. From Japan Railway Kokura Station, it can be reached in about 40 minutes. From Togo Station North Exit, take the bus for Konominato Wharf (via Munakata Taisha Shrine) and you will arrive in front of Munakata Taisha in about 12 minutes.
Munakata Taisha has many attractions including the main shrine. Among them, the "Munakata Shrine Shinpokan" displays valuable treasures and shrine treasures and 80,000 national treasures. Among them, the "national treasure / gold ring" excavated in Okinoshima is a treasure worth seeing.
Oshima is a remote island with Nakatsugu Shrine dedicated to one of the three goddesses of Munakata Taisha Shrine. Most of the island is a charming island consisting of forests and wilderness. There is a ferry from the Munakata Shrine, so it can be accessed in about 25 minutes. There are many highlights such as Oshima Lighthouse, Miura Cave, and a windmill observatory overlooking the ocean.
"Miyaji Shrine" in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, you can see the miraculous scene twice a year in February and October. The reason is that the approach of the shrine and the coastline from the shrine and Ainoshima, which extends beyond the shrine, is connected in a straight line with the sunset. Please check this fantastic sight as a tourist destination.
The Munakata Shrine, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, and its surrounding areas are dotted with sightseeing spots filled with historical interests and natural blessings. In addition to the seascapes such as Genkai and Hibiki, the existence of inns that can heal fatigue from travel, including ingredients that benefit from seafood and mountain food, is packed with elements that attract travel lovers. Please enjoy the world heritage and the blessings of nature.
Enshrined the representative sea god in Japan
"Munakata Taisha Shrine" is a shrine in Munakata city, Fukuoka prefecture. Itsukushima shrine located in Miyajima, Hiroshima Prefecture, where the red torii is famous, is also a branch shrine of Munakata Taisha. "Munakata Sanjojin" (Three Goddesses of Munakata) that Munakata Taisha is dedicating is the only three sisters in "Yao yorozu no kami" (myriads of gods), the representative sea god in Japan. In ancient times Munakata City, blessed with nature such as the sea and the mountains, they prayed for safety and blessings to calm the god spirit who controls the sea. It is enshrined in the shrines where the names of the land in various parts of the country have been appointed from the north to the south, including "Munakata Shrine" "Itsukushima Shrine". The number is said to be 6400, and the head shrine of these shrines is Munakata Taisha.
"Munakata Taisha" is a generic name of the three shrines
Speaking of Munakata Taisha, there are many people who think of Hetsu-miya Shrine of Tajima, Munakata city. However, "Munakata Taisha" is a generic name of Okitsu-miya Shrine in Okinoshima Island, Nakatsu-no-miya Shrine in Chikuzen Oshima Island, Hetsu-miya Shrine which is the Soja (general shrine) in Tajima, Munakata city.
faithjp.com
Island of Divine Spirit Resides
Valuable treasures such as copper mirrors, weapons, and tools were found in Okinoshima Island, which was selected as a World Heritage Sites, about 80,000 of which were designated as national treasures. For this reason, Okinoshima is also called "Shosoin (Old Treasure House in Nara prefecture) in the sea". The whole island has been considered as the sacred area owned by the Munakata Taisha Shrine, and the object of faith as the "Island of Divine Spirit Resides", so free entry is banned from ancient times. Okinoshima Island is closed to women, and only one of the priests of Munakata Taisha Shrine is allowed to stay and is taking charge as a substitute.
knulp.sblo.jp
It was chosen as a World Heritage site
In addition, there are no inhabitants on Okinoshima Island, and Misogi (ablution and ritual purification) in the sea is necessary at the time of landing. Furthermore, here is the sacred place where the law such as "prohibiting taking out even one stone from the island" is still strictly protected. It is one reason why its cultural aspect was chosen as a World Heritage site.
jtb.co.jp
It has existed as people's strong emotional attachment from ancient times
In "Shinpokan Museum" located in Hetsu-miya Shrine, the collection of precious cultural assets such as national treasures of 80,000 in Okinoshima Island are collected and exhibited. Along with its quantity and quality, you can feel the thought and breath of the pioneer who lived hard in each era.
