Therapeutic gardening experience equipping students, recent graduates
By Grace Niemeyer, communication assistant
Profession-based learning at Northwest Missouri State University is growing students' knowledge in gerontology and horticulture, and the addition of an academic minor at Northwest will soon deepen students' skills in those areas.
"Therapeutic gardening can be so much more than growing a garden and can include a range of nature-based activities," Jessica Edmiston, who earned her bachelor's degree in horticulture in December, said. "Therapeutic gardening and therapeutic garden spaces offer so much healing, inside and out. There's a reason that this modality is growing in popularity, and the certification in therapeutic gardening will be a great asset in future careers in recreation."
Along with recent Northwest graduate Dana Burgeson, Edmiston designed a sensory garden space at the Glenwood, Iowa, campus of On With Life (OWL) last fall. OWL is a residential facility dedicated to helping people living with traumatic brain injuries. Burgeson and Edmiston introduced new plants, modified the sandbox area and added a raised garden area to enhance interaction. Edmiston said a water wall and chalk door were "exciting new destination areas."
The experience with OWL's Nest expanded Edmiston's love for the outdoors, so she returned to Northwest and is pursuing a master's in recreation resource management. She hopes to become a nature and parks interpreter or outdoor educator.
"I've loved Northwest since the very beginning," Edmiston said. "This really is my home away from home, so it was hard to picture myself going anywhere else."
Burgeson is the program manager at Lettuce Dream in Maryville, a hydroponic greenhouse that supports people with cognitive or developmental impairments. Her experience with OWL's Nest provided the opportunity to gain more experience and confidence in her abilities.
"I had amazing mentors that helped me excel in chasing my dreams and setting me up for my career," Burgeson said.
To fuel experiences like those of Burgeson and Edmiston, the School of Health Science and Wellness and the School of Agricultural Sciences at Northwest are partnering to provide a minor in inclusive recreational gardening next fall. The minor is designed to increase student skills and knowledge through profession-based learning opportunities to provide and maintain inclusive recreational gardening opportunities.
Dr. Sue Myllykangas, a professor of recreation who serves as the undergraduate curriculum coordinator for the parks and recreation and gerontology programs, said she likes to focus on the work students are doing.
"I feel proud," Myllykangas said. "Proud of the students, proud of Northwest for truly focusing on student success and proud of the work of the faculty in preparing students to be career-ready, day one."
Similarly, David Mullen, a parks and recreation management major and gerontology minor from Grain Valley, Missouri, and Byron Nelson, a senior from Ogallala, Nebraska, are completing internships with the Nodaway County Senior Center to help the organization develop a five-year strategic plan.
Mullen is completing a needs assessment of the center's programs and services as well as determining what other centers do throughout the county. After graduating, he hopes to become a parks and recreation director.
"Northwest has prepared me well for my current and future internship," Mullen said. "I had a class where we practiced evaluation and conducting a needs assessment. The training and coursework will aid me in being the best recreational professional I can be."
Nelson is creating a volunteer program and writing a manual to outline procedures for helping seniors. He is moving to Dallas, Texas, after graduation this May for a residency program with the National Benevolent Association, an organization within the Disciples of Christ church dedicated to creating communities of compassion and care.
"I have no doubt the rich level of education that I've received at Northwest will not only help me to find a great job, but will also help me excel in the work that I will do," Nelson said.
The gerontology minor and certificate program is steadily growing and open to all majors. Gerontology teaches students the social and behavioral aspects of aging as well as physical changes and maintaining health and wellness practices.
"It's helping students realize that they will be working with aging adults and that having an idea about the changes a person goes through later in life can assist them in doing a better job serving all clients and participants," Myllykangas said.

Q: Twitter API check for NSFW content In the Twitter Api is there anything in the response that tells if the Tweet has been flagged as NSFW or inappropriate? The response is quite big but I couldn't find anything in it that flags the Tweet as NSFW.

A: There is a possibly_sensitive flag in the Twitter API, tweet object.

possibly_sensitive    Boolean Nullable. This field only surfaces when a
  tweet contains a link. The meaning of the field doesn't pertain to the
  tweet content itself, but instead it is an indicator that the URL
  contained in the tweet may contain content or media identified as
  sensitive content.

Q: what is the minimum value of the angles inside these triangles? Question:

Given certain points on a square(including its sides),let these points and the verteces of the squares be the verteces of a certain number of smaller triangles, no vertices of a smaller triangle are on the sides of other smaller triangles. what is the minimum value of the biggest angle
  ?

I think this is interesting problem,and I think is nice.  I guess this answer is $90^{0}$,But I can't prove it.and maybe this is  old problem (maybe is Very famous problem)
Thank you

A: To make explicit Peter Taylor's lower bound:  the corners of the square are $90^\circ$.  If you don't split one of them, you have a $90^\circ$ angle.  If you do, the largest small angle you can get is $45^\circ$.  Then if the other two angles of that triangle are equal, they are $67.5^\circ$  This does not show that there is such a construction.  I have found several constructions that result in a smaller square.

A: I think the smallest "largest angle" among all the triangles should be

60 degree

for 2 reasons:

*

*60 degree is the smallest possible value that the largest angle (among all three) in a triangle could be.

*You can always draw an equilateral triangle inside the square, and pick wherever other points to complete the graph.

Unthology 5 launched, and some reviews.
Today is the official launch day of Unthology 5 - it's live now, and available from Waterstones and all good booksellers, Book Depository and Central Books for £9.99.
For £3.99, it's available to download for your Kindle and iPod, iPad or iPhone.
On Wednesday we had the physical launch at the Garden House in Norwich, a fabulous evening at the centre of a four-day holiday for John and me (well, two of them were mainly spent driving!) - we had never been to Norwich before, or the Norfolk coast, and we took this opportunity to do so. (We almost went there once before, but didn't quite manage it. We had gone to interview the novelist and short-story writer Scott Bradfield for metropolitan magazine, but he turned out to live not quite in Norwich, but this side of it, and we only arrived in the late afternoon and then spent the evening with him, and had to rush back early next day). I must say that I loved Norwich - in spite of all the history, I had never quite imagined it to be as obviously steeped in it as it is, and our time there could be blog in itself if only time allowed. (And it's such a writers' place: every pub or cafe we went into seemed to host writers' events.)
It was great to be introduced to the phenomenon that is Project U, Unthank's series of events, to Ashley Stokes, our indefatigable editor, and to the other two contributors who read, Maggie Ling and Sharon Zink - it was also the launch for Sharon's amazing-sounding novel Welcome to Sharonville. (I read from my story in Red Room, too.) The room was filled with a really thoughtful and friendly audience, many of them writers themselves, and apparently a good few books were sold - I know I signed a fair few - and there were delicious cakes, made by Unthank's Lily Bradic!
Here are some photos John managed to take with my (by now pretty ropey) camera:
Maggie reading:

Chatting afterwards with Tommy Collin, designer of Unthology 5's striking cover:
Already Unthology 5 is getting rave reviews. To add to the first, which described it as 'flawless', there are now two more: a customer review on Amazon by Lander Hawes and a review by The Workshy Fop who says 'Unthology is quietly becoming a reliable guide to the state of the modern short story, a companion to Nicholas Royle's annual Best of British Short Stories anthology'. I'm chuffed that he calls my story, 'Clarrie and You', 'a well-told subtle piece', although he considers it to be about ageing, which I don't - actually, it's about something quite different, to my mind - but then, as Dan Powell said at the London Short Story Festival, you can't legislate about how people take your stories; once they're out there they're other people's to take as they want.

London Short Story Festival
A feast of short stories this weekend: on Friday evening and on Saturday I was at the London Short Story Festival, at Waterstone's Piccadilly. The festival opened with the launch of Best British Short Stories, in which my story 'Tides' is included. Three of the contributors - Louise Palfreyman, Sian Melangell Dafydd and Stuart Evers - read, and our publisher Jen Hamilton Emery was on hand. After the readings there was a discussion in which festival organiser Paul McVeigh quizzed the three contributors on the ways in which their stories were chosen for the book, and their reactions to having them chosen, and Jen on the evolution of the book and the series. There were several other contributors present, and it was great to meet up with them. I had taken my camera, but I was so engrossed in the proceedings and in talking that I mostly forgot to take photos. Here are the two I did take: first, Stuart reading, with Sian in the background
then Louise and Paul pondering a serious point:
I was a bit more systematic with my camera next morning, at the event 'The Weird and Wonderful World of Short Stories', though not entirely. Tania Hershman introduced the three readers, Adam Marek, Dan Powell and Robert Shearman, by throwing out some questions about the nature of the surreal literature - often called 'weird' - which all three write (as Tania said, in their different ways), and after the readings chaired a discussion.
I managed to get shots of Adam and Dan reading, remembering only just in time because I was so involved in their readings:
but then forgot altogether as Robert held us spellbound.
How are we meant to take stories in which surreal things happen, such as people turning into tables? Tania wondered. Are we meant to see it as metaphor or actual? For her own part, she said, she was happy to take it as actual, and Dan and Adam agreed, though I got the impression that Robert saw his own work as metaphorical. Dan said he didn't mind, though, if people took his work as metaphorical: once a story was out there, it belonged to readers to interpret as they saw fit. Asked why he writes surreal short stories, Robert talked about the liberty compared to the restrictions of writing for stage and TV: no one to say, 'Oh can you take that out because it wouldn't really happen'. Adam talked of coming across Kafka's 'Metamorphosis' before he started writing, and how it blew him away with its mode of taking a very ordinary situation and inserting into it something strange. It made him want to write, and it made him want to write like that. All three writers talked about the playful nature of it all. An audience member asked how you retain that playfulness, and Adam talked about the ability to keep that childlike lack of a sense of boundaries (children haven't yet learned to 'box up the world' as he put it). Robert, concurring, spoke of the need to accept and allow your own 'silliness'. Adam also spoke of openness, of the need to be open to your subconscious. He never rejects an idea out of hand, and so always keeps a notebook: some ideas fail, but you've got to try them out. What about the business of knowing where a story is going to go before you start? Dan said that he very rarely did: he usually starts with an image and waits to see where it will take him. Only at the end of a first draft will he know what a story's about, and then subsequent drafts will be honing the story in the light of this.
Now an audience member stated that she thought quite a lot of surreal writing was written out of anger and alienation, and did they recognise that? Adam and Dan strongly said no. Adam said that although he felt that a certain sense of alienation was germane to all writers, anger wasn't part of his emotional spectrum. He wouldn't write as catharsis or simply for himself, and he reiterated that writing for him was play and fun and that his project was to entertain. Dan said that he too didn't write from a position of anger, and in fact he thought writing stemming from anger wouldn't be good to read; writing weird stories was, rather, a way of explaining the world. Robert said that, far from anger, what he felt on approaching a story was a sense of excitement. In fact, he said he didn't believe in nihilistic writing: the act of writing itself is a form of optimism, and all writing involves the experience of joy - which I think is right. Earlier, however, when asked whether he was ever surprised where the weirdness of his stories sometimes takes him, he said yes, he was often surprised by where a story takes things emotionally. My feeling is that the very joy of writing is the joy of overcoming, processing and distilling emotions such as anger, so that the questioner and the panel weren't as far at odds as may have seemed.
Someone now asked about the balance between form and content. As the content of stories gets weirder, is it harder to create meaning? All three conceded that this was so, and Adam referred back to Kafka's grounding technique of having just one weird thing happen in a mundane context. Dan strongly stated the undesirability of weirdness for weirdness' sake, and Robert agreed: the story has to be saying something true and genuine about the world, and there has to be a recognisable reason behind it.
And here are all three signing books:
A quick lunch, and then it was the panel discussion on short-story 'gatekeepers', which I'll blog about another time - if I get a space in the coming days.

Short-story summer
I have a busy time coming up, and it's all to do with the buzz around short stories this summer. Tomorrow I'm off to the London Short Story Festival. The first event, tomorrow evening, is the launch of Best British Short Stories (Salt), edited by Nick Royle (in which I'm delighted to say my story, 'Tides, or How Stories Do or Don't Get Told' is included), followed by a reading by Jackie Kay. Saturday lunchtime there's a very interesting-looking panel discussion on short-story 'gatekeepers' with editors and an agent, chaired by my writing friend Vanessa Gebbie, to which I'm going, and I can't miss the morning session, The Weird and Wonderful World of Short Stories, not least because the chair, Tania Hershman, and two of the readers, Adam Marek and Robert Shearman, are my very good writing friends, and I have been looking forward for ages to meeting the third reader, my online writing colleague, Dan Powell. The three readers are billed as 'surreal writers', and although I'd agree that they write surreal stories, I have to say they're anything but surreal in person, but very real and warm! All LSSF events take place at Waterstone's Piccadilly. You can book here.
I'm really sorry that as a result, I'll miss the Southport launch of the debut novel of another superb short-story writer, Carys Bray - I just won't make it back in time for the 5 pm start on Saturday. Carys's Sweet Home (Salt), with which she won the Scott Prize, is one of my favourite story collections - she has the most superb linguistic control along with a tough yet humane sensibility - and A Song For Issy Bradley, her novel about the effect on a Mormon family of the death of one of the children, is already receiving huge attention and praise, which I'm sure it deserves, with newspaper profiles, posters on the underground and an appearance by Carys on tonight's Radio 4 Front Row. I believe that all are welcome at Cary's launch, so if you're in the Southport vicinity on Saturday at 5pm, you could drop in to Broadhurst's Bookshop and help her celebrate and get yourself a truly rewarding read.
Next week I'm off to Norwich for Project U, to read at Unthank Books' Wednesday launch of Welcome to Sharonville, a novel by Sharon Zink, and of Unthology 5, the latest in their series of short-story anthologies, in which my story 'Clarrie and You' appears. All welcome to that, too. Then the following week it's the Edge Hill awards to which I'm lucky enough to be invited again, and later in July the 13th International Short Story Festival in Vienna (which I'll hope to blog about on my Fictionbitch blog).
No rest for the lucky!

Proofs and copyediting
It surprises me that it's never happened before, but for the first time ever I've received a copyedited version of one of my manuscripts as a Word document displaying the tracking of changes (above),which I can add to as I see fit.
It's a very long time now since copyedit proofs came through the post to be marked in red pen with British Standards Institution proof marks:
Usually though with short stories in those days, if you got proofs at all, they were the final or so-called page proofs, which is what my first-ever proofs were: I remember how anxiously I referred to the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook (where the BSI marks were printed - I don't know if they still are), worrying about getting it right, and about neatness and clarity: in those days of metal type, it was the printer you needed to communicate with (via the editor, of course), and at that final proof stage you only had the one chance.
BSI marks were a wonderful shorthand though, and generally unequivocal (apart from one occasion, I found: I'm not sure whether the fault was mine or the printer's, but a line in the first edition of The Birth Machine, which I thought I had indicated should be moved in position, was repeated instead, and the effect was ridiculously sonorous). But as I've commented before, even before the internet really took off, BSI marks had begun to fall out of use. When Ailsa Cox and I edited the short-story magazine Metropolitan, we had the use of a computer (remember desk-top publishing? - how things change!) so we were able to print out typeset copy, but we still sent it by post to the authors for their approval. Very few of them in fact used the BSI marks, which surprised me: it seemed so laborious to have to explain in writing the necessary changes, and so open to misinterpretation. Yet once the internet made it possible to whizz proofs back and forth at the press of a button, that's mostly what I've ended up having to do with my own work. We've gone straight to typeset (page) proofs and I've had to send emails with laborious lists of items such as: 'Para 2, line 3, the word "out" should be omitted' - even though change-tracking software has been available.
But Honno, the Welsh Women's Press is ahead of the game. The copyedited extract above is from my story 'A Matter of Light', to be included in their anthology of ghost stories, The Wish Dog, which will be published in the autumn.

Short Fiction Longlisting
It's a rum business sending off stories. When I'm writing only short stories there's no problem - my mind is fixed entirely on the short-story world, but once I'm involved in something longer, as I have been recently, I find it hard to remember competition or magazine deadlines or even, frankly, to think about the stories I have waiting around for publication. I'll miss deadlines altogether, or will scrabble around sending something at the last minute and then promptly forget I ever sent it (even though I make notes of submissions - I forget all about the notes too!). So it was a surprise to me to open up my email yesterday to find that my story 'Looking for the Castle' has been long listed for the competition run by Short Fiction magazine - where I hadn't even remembered I'd sent it! I'm in great company: the long list includes the wonderful writers Tania Hershman and Sara-Mae Tuson, and Graham Mort, winner of the Edge Hill Prize.
Short Fiction, produced annually from Plymouth University and edited by Anthony Caleshu and Tom Vowler, carries the subtitle The Visual Literary Journal: special care is taken over presentation and illustration of stories, which makes it a great treat to read. It's pretty prestigious, too, and guest editors have included Ali Smith, Toby Litt and Jayne Anne Phillips, so I'm thrilled to have got to this stage in a competition associated with it.

First review for Unthology 5
I've been away in North Wales (and in internet blackout for some of the time, off and on), and when I got back a couple of days ago my copy of Unthology 5 was waiting for me. There's really nothing like that moment when you first see your story between the covers of a book alongside others you're dying to read - maybe it's not quite as piercing as the first time that happened to me, but the feeling is still strongly there. The copy's by my bed now and I'm eking it out, one story a night - that's the best way to savour stories, I find - and last night I began with the first, Andrea Readman's striking tale of an abduction and imprisonment form the child's point of view - very vivid.
And today we have our first review, on Goodreads, from my writer-contact, Alan Beard. He finds the book 'a fine mix of voices and styles' and 'another excellent contribution to a great series of anthologies'. He calls my contribution, 'Clarrie and You', a 'sharp story of family fallout coming to a head at a funeral' - but then he does also say that 'of course' he likes his friends' stories best!

Q: What syntax error do i have in this class? I am working on a project that requires me to use str to print out as an answer. When I run this code, the compiler gives syntax error by pointing out to return statement. I would love to get help to fix this problem.
I tried to removing parentheses around the return code.
import random
class Movie:
  def __init__ (self, title, year, drname, cat, length):
    self.title = title
    self.year = year
    self.drname = drname
    self.cat = cat
    self.length = length

  def __str__(self):
     return (self.title + '('self.cat','+ self.year')' +'directed by ' + self.drname + ', length ' + self.length + 'minutes')

#Apollo 13 (Drama, 1995) directed by Ron Howard, length 140 minutes
#It should be printed out as shown above

mv1 = Movie("Apollo 13", 1995, 'Ron Howard', 'Drama', 140)

A: Beside the other answer answers, I recommend using f-strings (introduced with python 3.6) for string formating:
return f"{self.title} ({self.cat}, {self.year}) directed by {self.drname} , length  {self.length} minutes"

A: Your code states '('self.cat','+ self.year')' without a +.
Use '(' + self.cat + ',' + self.year + ')' instead.
Also, you may want to consider a space between the category and year. If so, use the following:
'(' + self.cat + ', ' + self.year + ')'

In addition, your year and length need to converted to a string, for example using str(self.length).

A: just a small syntax error, the plus (+) sign is missing in your return statement.
 return (self.title + ' (' + self.cat + ', ' + self.year + ') ' + 'directed by ' + self.drname + ', length ' + self.length + ' minutes.')

This should work.

A: You should format the returned value of __str__ using f-string (PEP498):
f"{self.title}({self.cat},{self.year}) directed by {self.drname}, length {self.length} minutes"

Your code, PEP8 and working:
class Movie:
    def __init__(self, title, year, drname, cat, length):
        self.title = title
        self.year = year
        self.drname = drname
        self.cat = cat
        self.length = length

    def __str__(self):
        return f"{self.title} ({self.cat}, {self.year}) directed by {self.drname}, length {self.length} minutes"

# Apollo 13 (Drama, 1995) directed by Ron Howard, length 140 minutes
# It should be printed out as shown above

mv1 = Movie("Apollo 13", 1995, 'Ron Howard', 'Drama', 140)
print(mv1)

Output:
Apollo 13 (Drama, 1995) directed by Ron Howard, length 140 minutes

Scram Kitty DX Review – A Shooter With a 360-Degree Twist [PS Vita / PS4]
There are those who dismiss indie games as "real" games because they think that if there isn't a huge publishing company behind it or millions of dollars thrown into development, there's no way it could be any good. That to me is just a crock of bull. By dismissing indie games, you are missing out on some of the most fun and unique games out there. Indie developers aren't afraid to try new gameplay mechanics or pursue story ideas that might be way out there. That's why I for one support indie games. Some of the best games I've played this year have been indie games and especially on the PS Vita. One of the latest games I'm checking out is Scram Kitty DX by Dakko Dakko. Scram Kitty DX is a fast-paced action platform shooting game with a 360-degree twist.
Scram Kitty is at the mercy of an ever-expanding army of maniacal mechanized mice! You must use your magnetic Spinboard to ride energy rails deeper and deeper into the station and defeat the twisted mouse creations of a science experiment gone terribly wrong.
Scram Kitty DX is a game that you have to pretty much figure out on your own. The point of the game is to rescue these space cats from the evil space rodents. Mainly it just seems like you pilot your vehicle to the end of the level, rescue one cat, and you're done. There's so much more to the game than that though. Here's where the "figuring it out own" part comes in. Without any instruction, you must figure out how to rescue the remaining cats. For instance, a cat can be rescued if you collect all the coins or if you destroy all the enemies. It's never quite clear how to do it, you just have to do it. In this respect, the game also acts a bit like a platform puzzler as well.
The first level does its best to acclimate you to the gameplay. You're riding around on a vehicle called the Spinboard which can only travel along magnetic rails attached to the walls. These rails circumnavigate the whole level and you're able to travel most of the border with it. The Spinboard isn't entirely stuck to these rails though as you're able to jump and double jump off them either to attach yourself to other rails or to grab objects. There is "gravity" of sorts and your Spinboard will try to attach itself back to which ever rail you originally jumped from unless you actually grab onto a new rail.
Your Spinboard also has the ability to fire weapons, but only in the direction that your guns are facing. You can not independently control fire direction. The only way to change the direction of your weapons is to change the direction of your Spinboard via whatever rails your are attached to. Another weapon at your disposal is if you double jump, it turns the Spinboard into something like a fireball that can destroy enemies and objects.
Because there are enemies and objects that can cause damage to you, there is a health bar you must keep an eye on. If the health bar goes down, you explode. You can replenish health by picking up these little health packs scattered around most levels.
Levels are unlocked based on the number of cats you've rescued. With that said, this is a game where you will have to rescue all cats from a given level in order to progress much farther in the game. There are 29 levels present which may seem like a little, but trust me when I say that will take some time before you ever finish them all.
Multi-objective stages
Distinctive weapons for ultimate destruction
Thousands of miserable mice minions to defeat
Gorgeous pixel graphics mixed into 3D worlds
A blistering original electro-synth soundtrack
Fiendish PlayStation Trophies to test your mettle!
A completely overhauled Challenge Mode, with online ranking!
Scram Kitty DX has a really nice visual style to it. It reminds me a lot of later generation Japanese platform games with all the bright colors and lighting effects. What I like about the game is that despite it being a very 2D game, the visuals, mainly the levels themselves, are done in 3D. The blending of 2D and 3D is quite nice and really adds to the overall look and feel of the game. It gives an otherwise flat game a real feeling of depth.
There's also a lot going on in the game at once. Rarely will you encounter a part that is completely empty, except for some of the earlier levels and at the very start of the game and the game is a real visual treat. Is it going to blow your mind? Probably not, but you'll be quite satisfied with it nonetheless. It looks great on the PS Vita but I have not seen what it looks like on the PS4.
Like the visuals, the audio portion of the game is also quite well done. The soundtrack is so good and again, reminiscent of traditional Japanese shooters. Same goes for all the sound effects used. This really is a good looking and sounding shooter that has great gameplay to back it up.
Scram Kitty DX has a lot going for it. It's visually pretty and an auditory joy to play. I like how the levels are laid out in such a way where you can choose to play the game in short spurts or marathons. You can choose to try and unlock as many levels as you can with the number of cats you've saved or obsess over each and every level trying to save all the cats in each before moving on.
What I like though is the challenge. It's a fun game, but one that requires a lot of skill and tactics in order to overcome those challenges. I like how the game doesn't spoon feed you what you're supposed to do and instead you have to just figure it out on your own. There are some games that require tutorials, this one doesn't.
If there's one negative that Scram Kitty DX has, I surely can't find it. You could maybe nitpick that there are only 29 levels, but to me, they are so challenging that it will take you a while to beat all 29 anyways. Plus after completing those, you still have the challenge mode to tackle.
Scram Kitty DX is a game that I feel all PS Vita owners should definitely check out. It makes a fantastic portable game and because it's also a cross-buy title, you'll be able to download it to your PS4 and play on a march larger screen if you choose to do so. Not only that, it's cross-save enabled so you sync your saves between devices.

All Sherry & Fortified
Like its neighbour Spain, Portugal has been undergoing something of a quiet revolution over the last twenty years or so. A reluctance to follow trends and plant international grapes is now paying dividends and the new breed of full-blooded, fruit-filled wines are more than able to compete on the world stage. The unique flavours that are the hallmark of Portugal's indigenous grape varieties have become its trump card.
Vinho Verde, sometimes spritzy and youthful and sometimes made with the aim of creating a more serious white wine, is in the verdant north-west, bordering the Spanish province of Galicia. A wet and fertile area, the grapes ripen with moderate sugar levels and refreshing acidity, meaning that the wines are usually lowish in alcohol at about 10-11%. Astringent, low alcohol red Vinho Verde is also produced.

Trás-os-Montes is a remote region of harsh winters and hot, dry summers in the north-east of the country is bound on one side by high mountains and on the other the border with Spain (the name means 'behind the mountains'. The schistous soils and the grapes are similar to those of the Douro. Reds are often lighter and more aromatic than those of neighbouring Douro.
The Douro is one of the most beautiful wine regions in the world, and deservedly Portugal's best known, the Douro has quickly emerged to lead the way as the country's premium wine region and there is a real pioneering spirit amongst the winemakers here, port shippers included. Although there is an enormous variety of different terroirs within the Douro Valley, this is essentially a sparsely populated, hot, arid region where grapes are grown on spectacularly steep terraced slopes. Wine grapes are the same as those that go into Port. Wines tend to be high in tannin and flavour.
Dão is south of the Douro on granite slopes protected by high mountains and pine forests. The region produces one of Portugal's better-known reds of the same name. Once dominated by rather lack-lustre co-operatives, the area now has a whole clutch of dynamic, small producers making elegant, approachable and enjoyable wines.
Between the mountains and the coast, on fertile clay soils, is Bairrada (barro is Portuguese for clay). Better known for red wines, this is one of the only wine regions in Portugal to be dominated by a single grape variety,the tannic, high-acid baga, making wines that can be tough and astringent in their youth but which soften with age, becoming beguilingly perfumed. These days many blend baga with non-indigenous grapes to make a friendlier style, but the greatest are pure baga. The area also benefits from late-afternoon breezes which favour the production of fresh, food-friendly whites and increasingly popular sparkling wines.
Beira Interior is a rather disparate region covering a vast swathe of inland Portugal south of the Douro and east of Dão. Vineyards are grown at altitude on granite soils. In the north, grapes are similar to those of the Douro while the south has a whole mix of varieties.
Lisboa is a large, coastal region that runs north from Lisbon. Atlantic breezes help cool the vineyards and maintain the fresh acidity and aromatics in the mostly white wines. North of Bucelas, on the Atlantic west coast lies the strip of rolling countryside that contains nine separate DOCs under the umbrella name of Lisboa. This is Portugal's largest wine producing region in volume terms.
Bucelas was the first wine The Society ever sold! This tiny DOC is one of the closest to Lisbon. It produces breezy dry whites which are popular locally.
Tejo was formerly known as Ribatejo is known for good, everyday drinking wines in a range of styles from a wide range of permitted grapes. This region lies on either side of the River Tagus
Lying across the mouth of theTagus river, the Península de Setúbal is a flat, sandy region with the exception of the Serra da Arrábida a short chain of mountains with clay and limestone soils. There are two DOCs here, Palmela north-east of the peninsula where the castelão grape is ideally suited to the sandy soils, and Setúbal, where a sweet fortified wine is made primarily from muscat of Alexandria.
The Alentejo province stretches south from the Tagus to the Algarve and east to the border with Spain and covers almost a third of continental Portugal. Divided into seven diverse sub-regions, the undulating hills are home to many crops. Despite the challengingly arid climate here, this is a dynamic region, referred to sometimes as Portugal's 'new world'.
Producer profile
Symington Family Estates
The Symington family is the dominant force in the Port trade. They own 2,400 hectares of land in the Douro Valley across 26 individual Quintas (Estates) where over 1,000 hectares are planted with vines. They own several well-known brands of Port, and since 1999 have been producing table wines from the Douro. As of 2017 they are also owners of an estate in the Portalegre sub-region to the north east of the Alentejo - their first outside the Douro - with the first wines released in 2019.
The Port houses they control include Graham's, Dow's, Warre's, Quinta do Vesuvio, Smith Woodhouse, Gould Campbell, Quarles Harris and most recently since 2010, Cockburn.
The family has been present in the Douro for five generations, having been founded in 1882 when Andrew James Symington, a Scot who arrived in Oporto, started working for Graham's before becoming a partner of Warre & Co and Dow's Port. Over 70% of the Port wine sold by Symington brands is produced from grapes grown on their own properties.
Their Douro wines include the Altano range, Quinta do Ataíde in the Vilariça valley in the upper Douro, and flagship Chryseia, which along with Post Scriptum and Prazo de Roriz, are produced at Quinta de Roriz in a joint venture with Bruno Prats, ex of Château Cos d'Estournel in Bordeaux.

Q: What is wrong with my Implementation of 4th Order runge kutta in python for nonholonomic constraints? I am trying to implement 4th order Runge Kutta for nonholonomic motion for car-like robots.
I don't know what I am doing wrong,essentially I am passing +-Pi/4 to calculate hard left and right turns to get different trajectories.
But no matter if I pass +pi/4 or -pi/4 to it, I get the same answer.
I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.
The constraint equations that I am using are:
thetadot = (s/L)*tan(phi)
xdot = s*cos(theta)
ydot = s*sin(theta)

Where s is the speed and L is the length of the car like robot.

# if python says run, then we should run

    while running:
       for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
               running = False

A: I can't really say much about the algorithm, but the way you set up our rk4 function, the x, and y arguments will never have any effect:
def rk4(f, x, y, n):
    x0 = y0 =  0          # x0 and y0 will both be 0 after this
    vx = [0]*(n + 1)
    vy = [0]*(n + 1)
    h = 0.8
    vx[0] = x = x0        # now x will be 0
    vy[0] = y = y0        # and y will be 0 too
    ...

The rest of the function will use x=0 and y=0 in any case.
Also, I don't know if that's intentional, but the other functions fun1, fun2 and fun3 don't ever use the parameter passed as x, they only use y. They change x locally, but that won't reflect outside the function.

The rugged and safety apparel category is undergoing some serious changes. Thanks to new technical fabrications and cutting-edge features, the apparel choices are limitless. End-users are looking for options that are as tough as they are, and they want options that make their occupations and daily tasks easier. We spoke to two industry experts, Michael Dalzell, vice president of marketing for Stormtech, Burnaby, British Columbia; and John Perez, marketing manager for Tri-Mountain, Irwindale, Calif., about how distributors can provide apparel that can take on anything.
With so many new, innovative options in the rugged and safety market, distributors need to think about what the end-user wants when it comes to their apparel.
"Rugged gear is all about apparel that employees want to wear versus apparel they have to wear," said Dalzell. "I think from my perspective, it's all about versatility. Companies are looking to provide their team with products that support the brand. … I think there's huge value for our end-user customers in terms of going for technical outerwear versus just a standard jacket because of longevity and versatility.
Dalzell also was adamant about the fact that if a brand is saying its rugged and safety apparel options are waterproof and breathable, then the apparel better live up to those standards. He also suggested distributors look for features like taped seams, sealed seams, fabric technologies like Gore-Tex and waterproof zippers. And, in his experience, a surefire way to make sure your rugged and safety apparel has all the technical aspects is as simple as turning it inside out to see all the specifications yourself.
Once you've familiarized yourself with the must-have features end-users are looking for, you'll be ready to pitch prospective companies on your offerings. There's a misconception when it comes to rugged apparel, and that's that it's reserved for the more rigorous outdoor jobs only. These days, that couldn't be further from the truth.
While Perez pointed out that manufacturing and outdoor industries, like trucking, logging, construction, fishing, hunting and oil are popular markets for rugged gear, he's also noticed an influx of orders from other clients in need of safety apparel.
Perez went on to point out that even though these apparel items feature reflective detailing, they can still be used for everyday activities, like hiking, running or walking, where the end-user wants some extra visibility.
For Dalzell, he's noticed the rugged apparel realm has expanded to cover a broad range of industries beyond the usual standbys.
For distributors looking to break into or expand on this market, it's important to know one thing in particular: Your understanding of the technical features is as important as the features themselves.
Dalzell also pointed out that the repeat business potential in the rugged and safety market is huge. This might seem contradictory because these apparel pieces are built to last, and therefore don't need to be replaced every season. But, if you pitch your pieces as part of a system, you can sell your clients on outershells one season, a mid-layer the next season, a fleece the following season and then a base layer.
When it comes to workwear, distributors need to be mindful of industry standards and regulations. Perez explained how Tri-Mountain navigates the process to avoid any pitfalls.
Perez also gave a rundown of the ANSI guidelines and how they relate to the rugged and safety landscape.


New OpenNTF Alliance - and now?
New OpenNTF Alliance – and now?
I started my new job six months ago when we/IBM decided to push OpenNTF. In January we announced that IBM wants to do this and this week the new OpenNTF Alliance was established. Now that we have the new Alliance and the new governance and IP model we can do exciting things. Below I describe some of the things that I personally would like to do over the next weeks/months but the steering committee has to decide this.
Most of the projects on OpenNTF have only one committer. There are some exceptions where 2-4 people have teamed up. I'd like to identify a new project which will provide a full blown application and I'd like to find multiple people who want to implement it and can dedicate a significant amount of time for let's say six months.
There are various options for what type of new project we could choose. At this point I would like to open source the Notes/Domino discussion template so that the community can extend it and IBM could take it back into the product. I think that this would be a good incentive for people to participate if they know that their code can go into an IBM product.
-> It is what Notes/Domino is all about. Discussions, responses, documents, people, collaboration. Everyone knows the discussion template and has used it.
-> It is not too complex. Compared to other templates like the teamroom it is rather simple and it has already a XPages web frontend which can be used as starting point.
One of the problems with the discussion template (and Notes databases in general) is that many organizations have restrictions who can create new Notes databases on a server. Unfortunately these guidelines sometimes lead to less usage of Notes/Domino applications in favor of other (not easier to manage) technologies.
The idea is to introduce an easy form of virtual discussion applications within one discussion database. For example departments could have one discussion databases in which all people in the ACL are allowed to create new discussion instances for people in their team. In order to reduce the development effort and not to regress runtime performance there is no instance level security (except 'mark private'). At runtime end users can only see their documents as if they were stored in a separate discussion database.
Often in discussion applications there is a need to always keep certain documents visible. These documents often describe how the discussion application can be used or these documents contain FAQ-type information. With sticky notes documents can be marked as such and always appear at the top of views.
In the mail template there are various ways to extend the typical end user experience. In the last years several 'content spots' have been added (esp. sub-forms) so that customers can add their own extensions without overwriting them the next time databases are updated with a new template version. Similar extension hooks need to be provided for the discussion template.
The discussion template supports minimal customizability (declarative changes as opposed to custom development) like the exchange of the company logo. There should be more such options, e.g. whether view entries need to be expandable inline, how large view entries are, whether links to other sites should be displayed in navigator, etc.
The discussion template comes with it's own way to handle user profiles which are stored in the discussion template. In reality most customers have already defined profiles in (many) other places. The discussion template needs to be extended such that it can also handle profiles which are not stored in the same discussion database.
Feeds should be added so that feed readers or other intelligent tools can display updates in the discussion templates based on the users' interests. This should really replace the 'proprietary' subscriptions feature in the discussion template right now.
This is an obvious extension since the web UI looks currently better than the rich client UI. But this should be done based on 851 so that the rich client UI could look like the web UI and it only needs to be implemented once.
There should be more options to search content in discussion application and these options should be extensible so that custom fields can be searched.
Better developer documentation needs to be written. For example how can a discussion application be embedded in a corporate sites where it doesn't get the full real estate in browsers but has to show up under the corporate navigator.
In order to make this real however we have to do a couple of things first. I've heard from some of our IBM managers that this is a theoretical option. Now we have to make this concrete. Until we'll get these final approvals, there is obviously no commitment and just a personal dream. We also need to define how we can do such a collaborative project on OpenNTF. For example where do we put specifications, reviews, code control, etc. I'd like to find customers or partners who have extended their discussions and would like their changes to contribute to this project.
I would also like to kick off further new projects. Since not everyone can dedicate that much time it would be great to start some smaller projects where again several people collaborate. I've discussed a couple of options with various people. Some of these ideas are not from me, some of these ideas different people came up with at the same time, some of these ideas I don't know anymore where they came from.
Chris Toohey came up with the idea to have virtual residencies to implement new projects. I refer to this model as red projects. Similar to redbooks or red wikis we could have something like red projects. The idea is to connect a couple of experts or people with the same interest for a new app who then work together in a rather short amount of time (six weeks?) on an initial release. In this model they wouldn't work fulltime on it, but would spend a significant amount of time each day on it. This residency would be virtual so that nobody needs to travel. The good thing about this model is that I imagine many of these original authors to be motivated to continue to work on this project even after the six weeks.
At DNUG this week Daniel Reichelt and Andreas Schulte told me another exciting idea. They are thinking about a BarCamp (see here) for Notes/Domino app dev. A result of such a bar camp could be a new project iteration 1.
Development contests are a good mechanism to create a new buzz around Notes/Domino app dev. Especially younger developers could be interested in learning about Notes/Domino and winning some awards. With Eclipse on the client and XPages on the server (and soon on client) Notes/Domino can certainly be attractive for younger developers to implement standard based apps leveraging modern technologies.
For legal reasons IBM could not host development contests, but since OpenNTF is an Alliance of multiple members this is possible now. It would be good to even host contests more than once but we need to find out how we reward people. Free Lotusphere tickets and maybe flight tickets for example could be awards. We should also blog about the best contributions and give the authors visibility. For some authors it could even be incentive enough if they may present their sample to the steering committee. I'd expect a lot of submissions that we'd then of course make available on OpenNTF for everyone.
OpenNTF should provide many more re-usable controls. Full applications are important to demonstrate business value of Notes/Domino and to use them as they are or as starting point for applications for customers/ISVs. I think re-usable controls are as important. They can be re-used easily by everyone to build new applications. I personally use these building blocks a lot when writing apps. I don't want to implement everything from scratch and I don't want to understand a full applications first that I then need to modify a lot.
I've published two of such re-usable controls here and here. You can imagine how easy it is to provide new re-usable XPages controls just by wrapping some of the cool DoJo functionality in custom controls and make it even easier to use DoJo within XPages. You can imagine the same kind of wrapper XPages custom controls for other components like Flex etc.
I expect a lot of new controls contributed by IBM over the next months. My management has asked internally people in the Notes/Domino team to contribute assets to OpenNTF this year. I also expect contributions of reusable controls from people in the community since they are easy to implement, people get visiblity and they are mostly less problematic (legally and business vice) to contribute compared with full blown apps.

TV classics: The Muppet Show
USA 1976-81, 5 seasons, 122 episodes, approximately 25 minutes each, CBS, color. Created by: Jim Henson. Cast: Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Dave Goelz, Louise Gold, Steve Whitmire, Kathryn Mullen, Eren Ozker, John Lovelady
Plot summary: It's time to play the music. It's time to light the lights. It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.
Review: Julie Andrews sang with them, Shirley Bassey annd Petula Clark. Johnny Cash appeared for a gig and Madeline Kahn. Nancy Walker joked with them and Harry Belafonte. Roger Moore paid them a visit and Liberace. The list is long and colorful: stage, TV and film stars standing in line to perform with the fluffiest gang on television, the Muppets.
Created by puppeteer Jim Henson, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and company took television by storm in the late summer of 1976. Set in the Muppet Theater, The Muppet Show is a variety program for children and adults alike. With recurring skits such as Pigs in Space, Musical Chickens or Muppet Labs, the Muppets put their famous guest stars in the middle of their chaotic show and at the heart of turmoil, fun and drama behind the scenes. As one of the central stars of the The Muppet Show, Miss Piggy is the warrantor for melodrama and jealousy fits, an epitomized Diva whose love for "Kermie" is as tempestuous as her performances. A direct opposite to his girl-friend, Kermit the Frog hosts the show with as much dignity as his colleagues permit and always finds a way to keep the ball rolling on stage. They are supported by regulars such as Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and Animal who each have trademark acts which range from telling bad jokes over doing doomed stunts to playing drums.
Who doesn't remember their favorite scenes and characters or Statler and Waldorf's encouraging interjections from the balcony?! With the first three seasons available on DVD, The Muppet Show can now be revisited by old fans and new ones alike. Beaker, Rawlf and Camilla the Chicken are already starting the music and lighting the lights. It's time for The Muppet Show tonight!

From 2008 on, Vietnam was mostly protected from the global financial crisis, not because its banks were stronger than the U.S. banks that created the crisis, but because it was less integrated into global trade back then. More than a decade later, Vietnam does far more trade with foreign countries today, making its banks far more susceptible to global trends. The government has taken steps to strengthen domestic banks.
In particular Vietnam is transforming banks to require that, when doing credit risk analyses, they take into account environmental, social, and governance risks, known as ESG. The State Bank of Vietnam has set a goal that by 2025, each bank will have created its own department dedicated solely to ESG analysis, and it will incorporate ESG factors into its overall risk analyses.
The central bank says it is making progress, noting that 17 banks in Vietnam have set up these mandatory departments to analyze the environmental and social impact of their lending, and that 25 banks have conducted such analyses so far, based on a survey in early 2019.
"Vietnamese banks have shown their readiness in pursuing a sustainable finance agenda, which is essential for capturing new business opportunities," Nguyen Quoc Hung, director of the department of credit policies for economic sectors at the State Bank of Vietnam, said.
The push for banks and other businesses to consider their impact on the environment has given birth to buzz words like "green finance" and "green bonds" -- but what do they actually mean? An important example would be for a bank to provide a loan to a small business that produces wind turbines. The development of wind power would be considered an environmental benefit in the bank's credit risk analysis, in addition to the social benefit of supporting a small business rather than just working with major corporations.
The example matters particularly to Vietnam because it considers green finance one strategy in its fight to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and it considers itself one of the countries most susceptible to the threat of a changing climate.
The government is moving to strengthen domestic banks as part of its membership in the Sustainable Banking Network, a network of 38 developing countries pushing ESG factors and supported by the World Bank's International Finance Corporation.
A benefit of the network is for countries to share best practices, according to Imansyah, who is a co-chair of an SBN working group and who like many Indonesians goes by one name.
"Sharing lessons and knowledge among members has been an important catalyst to drive finance reforms," Imansyah said.
His country, along with China, is leading the pack of 38 countries, having already implemented many of its planned ESG policies, such as government incentives for environmentally friendly investments.
However Vietnam is catching up. For instance an October IFC report noted, "Vietnam is one of the few SBN members to require CIs [credit institutions] to report the quantities and values of their green loans."
Besides the environment, Vietnamese officials are concerned about ensuring social and governance standards at its banks, given the banks' history of complex cross-ownership and corporate board arrangements that create possible conflicts of interest and that the government aims to clean up. It has also been cleaning up the burden of bad debt, or bank loans that have gone unpaid for a certain period of time, which could threaten the stability of the banking sector.
Social impact is harder to measure at Vietnamese banks. They might look to their U.S. counterparts, which did not fully analyze the social risks of giving out too many subprime mortgages, to be packaged into financial products for investors before 2008. The defaults on those mortgages, leading up to the global financial crisis, are the kind of social impact Vietnam's banks wish to avoid.

\section{Introduction}
The ever growing observational evidence of a mass excess in the centre of several globular clusters (GCs) \citep{noyola10}, suggests that they may contain at their centre an IMBH, likely formed through stellar runaway collisions \citep{zwart04}. On the other hand,
these excesses may be due to massive stellar systems (MSSs) comprised of dark remnants of heavy stars which undergone mass segregation \citep{baumak03}. In this contribution we try to answer the question: ``can a MSS mimes efficiently the effects of an IMBH?''

To reach the aim, we developed a semi-analytic approach for modelling 168 star cluster models with different masses and global properties. Moreover, we used 12 detailed $N$-body simulations of GCs with masses up to $3\times 10^5$ M$_\odot$.
In order to estimate MSS sizes and masses, we followed the procedure described in \cite{AS16}.

\begin{figure*}[t!]

\caption{\footnotesize Left panel: MSS mass vs host cluster mass. The red dots with error bars represent our models, whereas black, blue and cyan symbols are observations. Central panel: number distribution of stellar kinds in a model with solar (model A2) and low (model B2) metallicity. Right panel: time evolution of the half-mass radii of different stellar types.}
\label{F1}
\end{figure*}

\section{Method and results}
To build our sample of models, we varied host GC masses ($10^3$-$3\times 10^6$ M$_\odot$), initial mass function (IMF) (Kroupa, Salpeter and flat), density distribution and metallicity ($Z=0.02$-$0.0001$). To estimate mass segregation and stellar evolution, we used \texttt{CodeSSE}, a code which implements dynamical friction \citep{ASCD14df} and stellar evolution \citep{hurley}.

We found that MSS masses correlates with the host cluster masses through a power-law, whose slope $\alpha$ depends on the cluster mass distribution. In all the considered cases, the value of $\alpha$ that best fits observations is $\sim 1$.
Interestingly, our results suggest that for low metal clusters the $60\%$ of their central MSS consist of stellar BHs, whereas for solar values of $Z$ such fraction decreases down to $20\%$. Moreover, stellar types are strongly mass segregated, with the BH population having a half-mass radius smaller than $0.1$ pc (see Fig. \ref{F1}).

Our semi-analytic results are well reproduced by $N$-body simulations, which we performed using the code \texttt{HiGPUs} \citep{Spera} and \texttt{HiGPUsSE} \citep{AS16}, using up to $524$ k particles. The velocity dispersion profiles for our model are similar to observations, possibly suggesting that a MSS can induce the same dynamical feedback of an IMBH.

Recently, we improved our semi-analytic treatment by including the package \texttt{BSE} \citep{hurley02} in our code, whose new version is named \texttt{CodeBSE}. Our preliminary results indicate that the MSS-host cluster correlations are poorly affected by primordial binaries as long as their fraction is $\lesssim 50\%$.

BHs mass segregation can lead to the formation of BH binaries (BHBs) and possibly, to merging events that can produce detectable bursts of gravitational waves, as recently observed by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration \citep{LIGO}.

In this context, it is easy to show that the minimum mass for a GC to host at least 2 stars with masses $>120$ M$_\odot$ is $M_{\rm GC}>10^4$ M$_\odot$, for a Kroupa IMF.
To investigate the possible formation of a massive BBH in such environment we developed several simulations with \texttt{ARWc-M}, a code which implements the algorithmic regularization chain \citep{mikkola99}.
We found that in most cases a series of scatterings lead to the formation of a triple system, composed of a BH orbiting around a BBH. In one of the models, the BHB had semi-major axis $a=20$ a.u. and components with masses $M_1 = 13$ M$_\odot$ and $M_2=22$ M$_\odot$, whereas the single BH had mass $M_3 = 25$ M$_\odot$ orbiting at $200$ a.u. from the BHB. After $10$ Myr, the BBH is kicked out.
Following \cite{peters64}, the time-scale for GWs emission by the BBH in this case was $t_{\rm GW}=2\times 10^9$ Gyr.

However, we discovered an interesting tidal effect originating when $M_3$ moves on the same-plane of the BBH but it counter rotates. In this configuration, a very fast interaction occurs over time-scales $< 10^4$ yr and kicks out the BBH, whose GWs time-scale becomes $t_{\rm GW}\lesssim 1$ Gyr.

In a forthcoming work, we will try to determine the occurrence of these effects in young massive clusters.

Appointing a woman to divide zakaah
Publication : 17-12-2008
Is it possible to appoint a woman to distribute zakaah by giving it to her to distribute it when there is no bayt al-maal to which zakaah may be given, and at the same time she knows many people who are in need and can give this wealth to them?.
It is permissible for a person to delegate someone to distribute his zakaah to the needy, on condition that the person appointed is honest and trustworthy and will give the zakaah to those who are entitled to it. There is no differentiation in this regard between men and women, so it is permissible to give zakaah money to a trustworthy woman who can give it to those who are entitled to it.
The basic principle concerning that is that it is stipulated that the appointed person be one of those who is allowed (in sharee'ah) to handle for himself the matter that is entrusted to him. A woman may distribute her own zakaah, so it is permissible for her to be appointed to do that on behalf of someone else.
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: If a person is permitted (in sharee'ah) to handle anything on his own behalf and it is something in which another person may be appointed as a proxy, it is valid for that person to be appointed to do that thing on behalf of others, whether that person is a man or a woman, free or slave, Muslim or kaafir. End quote from al-Mughni (5/51).
See also Nihaayat al-Muhtaaj (5/18).
And Allaah knows best.

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – Furniture giant IKEA picked out the spot in Fort Worth it wants to open up. Now the city is poised to pass the financial deal to make it happen.
City council members were expected to vote Tuesday on offering developers $18 million in city tax rebates. In exchange, the project would open in four years and include $100 million in spending on infrastructure, utilities and roads.
City officials said the financial deal was the last major piece of the puzzle to clearing the way for the store, expected to open by 2019. The development between I35W, Highway 287 and North Tarrant Parkway would also include restaurant and office space.
But concern about traffic impact from the project remains, in a part of the city where growth has turned two-lane roads into major thoroughfares.
TXDOT has had preliminary discussions about providing access off of the 35W frontage road, but is waiting for final plans from the developer.
Major construction on the interstate is expected to be completed before the development opens.

PIERRE, S.D. – Jerauld County, in east central South Dakota, offers several unique opportunities for visitors to experience small town hospitality. Discover the inviting communities of Wessington Springs, Alpena, Lane and Crow Lake.
Jerauld County is located 45 minutes from the Big Bend Dam of the Missouri River, offering an abundance of fishing and recreational opportunities. Hunting is a popular pastime in Jerauld County with healthy populations of white-tail deer, pheasant, grouse and other wildlife.
Tour the popular Anne Hathaway Cottage and Shakespeare Garden in Wessington Springs. The Shakespeare Garden Society of Wessington Springs was established to restore, maintain and improve the Shakespeare Garden and Anne Hathaway Cottage, a project that began in 1927.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Anne Hathaway Cottage is the only thatched roof building in South Dakota. This attraction is the site of teas, tours, a Maypole Dance, plays, Christmas events and weddings.
The Opera House, another historical location in Wessington Springs, was built in 1905 and served as the center for community entertainment and education. In its first full year, the Opera House hosted 31 performances. The building has been home to several businesses throughout the years and was restored after being deeded to the Dunham Historical Society in the 1980s.


At only 110 km wide at the narrowest point and rising up to nearly 4 km at the highest point, Costa Rica is diverse in flora, wildlife, climate and activities. Travelling as a family of four with two children (ages 11 and 8), we were looking for something out of the norm.
It had been recommended to us to fly in and out of Liberia instead of the bustling capital of San Jose. Liberia has a small airport and is much easier to get in and out of, but the food prices are astronomical! Although the major areas aren't too far from each other, many of the roads (especially going inland) are windy and bumpy, leading to lengthy, motion sickness-inducing rides. My family used shuttle transfers and, after being on the roads and seeing what driving conditions were like, we were glad we didn't rent a car.
Our first stop was the cloud forest town of Monteverde. It's called a cloud forest for a reason–the temperature was cooler than we had expected, meaning hoodies were well-used. Ziplining was the adventure of choice for us! The tour we picked led us high into the mountains where we crossed several suspension bridges and 10 different ziplines. At over 750 metres, the longest of the 10 ziplines takes over a minute to traverse! Sky Trek's Canopy Tour was a great experience that my whole family loved.
Here are my kids, all suited up to zipline!
Our next destination was Manuel Antonio. We stayed at a small hotel with an outdoor restaurant overlooking the beach. During most meals, the dining area and pool were surrounded by iguanas and geckos, but the highlight was the many white-faced capuchin monkeys that would steal bananas from the buffet table. Watching them peel and eat the bananas just a few metres away was amazing to watch.
Manuel Antonio is known for spectacular beaches and its national park – neither of which disappointed. Our guided tour of Manuel Antonio National Park allowed us to see more of the white-faced capuchin monkeys as well as howler monkeys, two and three toed sloths, and a variety of birds, spiders and frogs. A short taxi ride took us up to a restaurant overlooking the water where the nearby forest was full of howler monkeys whose distinct howling could be heard miles away.
Next on the agenda was our hotel in La Fortuna, which gave us an unforgettable view of the active Arenal Volcano. An educational hiking tour of the surrounding area included dinner at the luxurious Tabacon Hot Springs. This eco-friendly and carbon-neutral resort has several waterfalls and pools within a natural and lush environment. Our kids loved the hot waterslide and a swim-up bar where they could get cold water and popcorn. Our final stop was the beach town of Tamarindo. Arriving in the "americanized" Tamarindo was a shock to our systems!
Lots of shops and restaurants with high prices cover the crowded main strip. After a day or two to adjust, we found ourselves thoroughly enjoying the beaches of Tamarindo; although it was too hot to stand barefoot in the sand by 10 AM! We had a blast taking family surfing lessons. It was a first for all of us, and I have to admit that the kids dominated the adults! Our final adventure was an ATV tour; it took us up into the surrounding hills, giving us incredible views of the coastline. Once down from the hills, we sped along the beaches and shallow water, the perfect end to another amazing tour.
Throughout our time in Costa Rica, the people we met were very friendly and the local food was excellent. Kids might have some issues getting used to eating fried plantains with black beans and rice, but we also had our fill of pineapples and mangoes. Easily a 10 out of 10 for our family vacation and a destination we would love to travel to again!.
