Q: Printing: visibility:none elements take up space somehow and result in empty pages I have a webpage with a print button
onClick="window.print()"

I have a css stylesheet, which hides all elements that should not be displayed when printing (using display:none). Example:
@media print
{
.gf-menu {display:none;}
}

Actual content only takes one page of space. Sidebar takes 3 pages of space (what, its a big sidebar, sue me). The sidebar is not displayed when printing (display:none;), but it seems that it still takes up space.
Result is that I have 1 page of content and 2 pages of empty space. How can I remove that space?
I tried to manually set height of body when printing but it had no effect. Is there any way I can remove/prevent the extra pages?

Senior Student Athletes Grateful To Play In The Era Of COVID-19
HARWICH/EASTHAM – Tyler Potter has been looking forward to his senior year with the Monomoy football team since he was in eighth grade. But like so many seniors locally and across the state, Potter has had to adapt to a completely new way of doing sports and a changed senior season.
For Potter, a team captain, the change means he and his fellow Sharks are no longer the "Boys of Fall" but are now the Boys of Fall II, an additional season for high-risk sports that couldn't safely be played under current pandemic trends. Instead of Friday night football on crisp autumn evenings, Potter will suit up for Monomoy starting at the beginning of March, which he said he's honestly grateful for.
"I'm thankful and happy because we are still playing, regardless of when," Potter said.
Even so, Potter is concerned about the late-winter weather and what impact it and the myriad COVID-19 protocols each player must adhere to will have.
"It will clearly be a lot colder, which may have effects on players," Potter said. "I was also informed that players have to wear masks under their helmets. I'm anxious to see how that plays out. I feel that it's already hard to breathe while training with a mask."
In order to take place, each sport has to follow a lengthy list of protocols, some of which are general, such as limiting spectators to home fans only, and others that are sport-specific, such as a new field hockey rule that games are no longer 11 vs. 11, but 7-on-7.
Nauset senior Sophie Christopher, a captain of the field hockey team, said the changes to the season and the game have been challenging.
"The fact that this season is drastically different from what it has been in the past is pretty upsetting," Christopher said, adding that the new 7-on-7 rule "changes the game completely."
Head coach Cheryl Poore agreed.
"I feel like a rookie coach," Poore said. "I'm preparing for a totally different game. You've got six field players covering all of that territory."
Poore said her players are up to it, but that the new rules also make coaching difficult because she's having to help players acclimate to the new system while at the same time impart the skills necessary to be a strong team.
"Field hockey is a sport that has all of these skills," Poore said. "But in 7v7, you've got about seven skills that you've got to execute perfectly. I'm teaching them a game I don't want to play next year. Next year I want them passing."
Poore said that the new rule actually pushed several seniors to quit the team since the likelihood of much playing time would be diminished under the 7-on-7 rule. That puts a lot of pressure on coaches looking to balance out teams with underclassmen to ensure a strong future.
Nonetheless, Poore said her team is excited for the season they do have, uncertain until it began that it truly would.
"They're excited," she said. "They're just excited to be playing. They're tired of being in their homes. Motivation is not an issue. The issue is to keep them smart so we can stay healthy and keep playing."
Christopher echoed Poore's words in her own sentiments.
"Despite the anger I might feel at times, I am just overwhelmingly excited to be able to play and be around the girls on this team," Christopher said. "Our team is a family, and I'm just happy to…spend time with them."
Nauset boys soccer senior captain Ben LaBranche said he's struggling with the contrast between what he wanted for his senior season and what is transpiring due to the pandemic.
"It is definitely a disappointing end to my high school career," LaBranche said. "As it has been for many other seniors. I would have loved to have a normal season with normal school and team traditions, but just like everyone else we are living in a new normal and have to adjust."
LaBranche said one of the more substantial concerns regarding a shortened schedule was the ability for college coaches to see him and his fellow seniors in action.
"It has been difficult trying to have college coaches watch us play, for sure," LaBranche said. "Having club soccer canceled last spring was more of a hiccup in the recruiting process than this season being modified, for a lot of kids."
LaBranche hopes that since there will be a season, regardless of length, he'll get seen by coaches at some point.
Monomoy girls soccer captain Maggie Dever comes at being able to play this season from a different perspective. Unlike many of her fellow seniors, Dever didn't have a junior season due to being sidelined by an injury that kept her out of sports until late winter. For Dever, the opportunity to play is a gift.
"I'm grateful especially because I missed last season," Dever said. "This is my chance to prove myself for both seasons."
Dever said she's also glad that fellow captains Leah Nash and Josie Ganshaw are getting to play, as well.
"Our spring seasons were cut short," Dever said. "Everyone here loves sports. We all just want to get back on the field as soon as possible."
Dever said that while the shortened season isn't ideal, she and her teammates are happy to have games to play.
"It's obviously not ideal, but our main goal for each game is to keep playing as hard as you can," Dever said. "A lot of teams that we play we're evenly matched with. It's always great for us to get some competitive games in because it teaches us to be better."
Potter, meanwhile, is doing his best to encourage his football teammates to take advantage of the gift of time.
"I have explained to the team that maybe this is a blessing in disguise," he said of the delayed season. "As players we have never had the opportunity to have more time to be prepared for a season. This is just more time to learn, train, and study film."
But the main reason Potter is content to wait is likely shared in some way by countless other student athletes, happy just to play.
"Football is bigger than just a game to me," Potter said. "It's something that's always been there for me no matter what. No matter what happens this year, I will be the best football player I can be. I'm so thankful to be able to play this game."

I have a question. I am trying to swap out my player animations.
well i don/t know how to set up the system of ...when the player collides with sprite ten times...change to these sets of animations.
First of all, you've done nice work so far! I wasn't able to press the Down arrow key to store the acorns at the "Home" location, but was still looking good!
If I understand your question correctly, a simple solution would be to add a local variable to your squirrel (AcornCount for example), have that local variable increase by 1 every time it collides with an acorn sprite, then upon that local variable becoming greater than or equal to 10, change the squirrel's animation to your "loaded bag" one. From that point it would be quite simple to reverse the process by resetting that variable to 0 upon completion of a level, etc., to allow it to go back to its original "unfilled" state. This would also serve as the trigger for making the squirrel unable to jump quite as high.
What you will have to decide, however, is artistically which method you would want to use to have the 2nd "bag full" animation. The two ideas that come to mind are simply copying all your animations a 2nd time in whatever image editor you are using and alter the bag to being full, then importing these second sets as "Walk_Full", or "Attack_Full", so that you have something to change them to when the count reaches 10.
The second option would be to redo the animations you have currently where the bag itself is not present, then create 2 static sprites of the bag (one empty, one full). Prior to the variable being 10, have the empty bag sprite either pinned to the back of your squirrel, or have it create the empty bag sprite once, then set its location to the squirrels image point each tick. Once the variable count is equal to or greater than 10, you would only have to change the empty bag sprite to the full bag sprite and repeat its pinning or location tracking.
Long story short for the 2 options i've suggested: make 2 sets of every animation, or modify the 1 set you have and swap out 1 image.
then upon that local variable becoming greater than or equal to 10, change the squirrel's animation to your "loaded bag"
No problem! Basically if you have another animation attached to your squirrel in the editor that corresponds to "when the bag is full" (Run_Bag_Full) or whatever you ended up calling it, set an event that Compares the Instance Variable AcornCount >/= 10. When this is true, set animation to "BagFullWalk"/"BagFullJump"/"BagFullAttack" or whatever you chose to name them.
The above illustrates how you could do this if you were making another set of animations. If you were only swapping between an empty or full bag image, you would simply create another frame for your bag in the animation editor, put the bag full image as the other frame, set its animation speed to 0, then use the same method as changing animations listed above, except only change the frame of the bag to the # of the full bag frame (in this example, change from frame 0 (empty) to frame 1 (full)). Make sure you set this 2-frame bag animation's speed to 0, or else it will swap frames on its own upon loading the game, which you don't want, you want to drive that frame change with the events.
also what about the different states of animation...so I collect more than 10 acorns..my animation switches..but how can i get it to switch for each state...when i press left..press right...and attack...?
this is what i have so far but it isnt working?
Okay, since I see you have 2 sets of animations ready, you will just need to add sub-events to your already existing movement and attack methods to take advantage of their second state. Hopefully this screencap will better explain then. Note what I have shown for the "On right arrow pressed" will need to be replicated for the other movements, attack, and jump.
Here's a small .capx showing the states changing with the above- demonstrated method.
i guess i can just upload the project...how do i do that..

CLASS ACT: Julian Savea during a training run in Auckland this week in preparation for the first test against Ireland.
Humble Berhampore beginnings, dance competitions against his younger brother and a long association with Oriental Rongotai Rugby Club have taken Julian Savea all the way to the All Blacks. Toby Robson reports.
Savea family dance-offs must have been quite a sight. Julian versus Ardie. Music blaring, their dad, Masina, encouraging them and their aunties judging the two brother's moves.
This was a regular scene at Sunday family lunches and a part of the journey that's created one of the most exciting All Blacks in recent memory.
Julian Savea has always moved pretty well for a big man. He's 1.9 metres and 104 kilograms, and runs like the wind.
And though he's pretty quiet at times, Savea isn't afraid to bust a move.
"When we were kids we were always watching music clips together and then we'd have dance battles," Ardie Savea recalled this week.
"On Sunday we'd have big family lunches and Dad would make us have a dance war for our aunties. It usually ended with one of us crying; mostly it was me. But I'm a better dancer than him. He knows it: he steals all my moves."
That last part, of course, depends which brother you ask, but it illustrates the base of competition, co-ordination, and family that punctuated the boys' upbringing.
Masina Savea and wife Lina were both born in Samoa before immigrating to New Zealand.
They raised their boys in Berhampore but sent them to Newtown School, then Evans Bay Intermediate in Kilbirnie and, after shifting to Strathmore, to Rongotai College.
Masina played rugby for Oriental Rongotai, a second five-eighth for the premiers in the early 1990s renowned for his defence, and Lina was a premier netballer.
Their eldest son was big, fast, and talented. Sporting success came naturally, but things were never easy. Ardie, a member of the New Zealand sevens team, says his parents' hard work has always inspired the boys and they would talk about repaying them if they ever made it big in rugby.
"We didn't have a car when we were young, not till I was maybe 13 or 14, so we were always walking places or catching taxis to training or trying to get rides with someone.
"That's how it was; it was hard sometimes. But we saw that and we always wanted to repay that, for everything they've done for us. Me and Jules saw the hard work they did and how they wanted us to achieve."
All the more special tonight when the Saveas take their seats at Eden Park as their eldest boy pulls on the All Black jersey.
Masina might reflect on his long association with the Ories club, where he's played since the mid-1980s. He put the boys into the junior club and it's played a huge part in Julian's development.
He turned down a sports scholarship to go to Wellington College, to stay with his mates and headed instead to Rongotai where he thrived in drama, athletics and, of course, rugby.
Many of his Rongotai College athletics records still stand – 12.92m in the under-14 shot put in 2004, 5.86m a year later in the under-15 long jump and 43.92m for discus.
He made the first XV in year 10 (fourth form for older readers), ran the 100m in under 11s before he left school, and made Wellington's seven-a-side team at 15.
The manager of that sevens team was Dave Meaclem, a bloke who coached his father in the Ories prems and recalls his J2s team in the 1980s that also included the dads of Victor Vito and Ma'a Nonu.
"Julian and Ma'a played here as juniors, their dads played here, they went to Rongotai College and they came back. That's pretty cool. We regard them as special because they have done it all in Rongotai colours."
And Meaclem says there were no free rides for Ories' All Blacks. "They had to struggle. They learned to struggle. They had to think for themselves, there wasn't a lot of structure at times, but they just played and worked.
"I think [that's driven them]. They know what it means to work hard, they've seen their parents work hard, and we all know that's what gets you to the top."
In fact, it's a question people have been posing since the moment he pulled on a pair of boots, although it all seemed to be going pear-shaped last year as he struggled through his first Super Rugby campaign, then lost his confidence during the ITM Cup.
His firstXV coach Phil Jones remembers two things about Savea's first season in the team. One was that he scored 25 tries, the other was that he hardly spoke.
Fast-forward to 2011 and Savea, in a team of established All Blacks, went into his shell again. A year after being named the IRB's junior world player of the year, many wondered if he'd lost his mojo.
They couldn't have been more wrong. This year has seen Savea mature on and off the field.
He has welcomed his first child into the world, daughter Cora, and settled in with his partner, Dawn.
And he's found clarity at the Hurricanes where his communication skills have blossomed as he's run in seven tries.
He says he's worked hard on building the "relationships" in the backline. Where he was previously operating in isolation, he's now bouncing ideas off backline partners Jane and Andre Taylor.
"Last year, first year on the scene, I was a bit shy, a bit sort of no-confidence," Savea said shortly before his All Black callup. "This year I've worked really hard; the boys have helped me and especially the coaches.
"That [clarity] is the difference. It brings the confidence in knowing what I'm doing, what I'm allowed to do and what I shouldn't."
The results have been stunning. Savea is a triple threat. He has long arms with an iron-like fend, huge legs and pace to finish.
But it's been his assured work under the high ball, his decision-making in defence and his workrate that have seen him graduate to the All Blacks.
It didn't escape selector Grant Fox that Savea's match-winner against the Highlanders a few weeks back came on his opposite wing. Nor that he has regularly defused bombs during pressured moments of big matches.
So now Savea will get his chance to dance on the biggest stage of all. His family will be watching and encouraging him again, just as they were at those Sunday lunches.


Over the next 18-months Durham Law School will lead a major research project on the social and practical impact of EU counter-terrorist laws and policies. The project, which is entitled SECILE—Securing Europe Through Counter-Terrorism: Impact, Legitimacy and Effectiveness, is funded by an FP7 research grant of €703,000.
The research, led by Professor Fiona de Londras, aims to combine empirical case studies of three different areas of counter-terrorism law (border control, the European Arrest Warrant, and terrorist asset freezing) with insights from law, sociology, political science and security studies in order to develop useable guidelines for European law-makers devising such law in the future.
In addition to developing these practical guides for lawmakers, the project will also generate new insights into the concepts of impact, effectiveness and legitimacy in the context of counter-terrorism as they are used within the EU. These normative and theoretical developments will mean that the work from this project is of use not just at EU-level but also to national lawmakers within and beyond the Union.
Led by Durham, the project is undertaken by a consortium of partners from across Europe. These partners are King's College London, Statewatch, the Centre for Irish and European Security, the Peace Research Institute Oslo, the Irish Navy (cooperating through Cork Institute of Technology), and the Supreme Court of Latvia. Speaking at the commencement of the project, Professor de Londras remarked 'the award of this major research grant is a reflection of Durham Law School's excellence in research in the field of counter-terrorism. Work done here in Durham has already had a significant effect in domestic debates on terrorism and human rights, and SECILE offers us the opportunity to contribute in an important way to smiilar debates at European level".
The entire consortium will meet to formally commence the project in Durham on May 21st and SECILE will run until 1 November 2014.

The Gettysburg Address for 2020
thehistoricpresent	Civil Rights, Lincoln, Racism, and Slavery, Truth v. Myth, What History is For	 May 7, 2020 May 7, 2020 7 Minutes
We've written about the Gettysburg Address before, and we feel it's time to do so again. This famous speech by President Lincoln, delivered at the memorial of the Battle of Gettysburg, on one of the battle grounds, is so short that could fit on one side of an index card; just 12 lines on the NPS website devoted to it. Yet it is a magnificent and wide-ranging, all-encompassing call to this nation to never let the standard of liberty and justice for all fall from our hands, no matter what happens.
In these times, nearly eight score years after Lincoln delivered this moving message, we need the power and the pain of the Gettysburg Address to inspire us once again.
P.S. — see our post on the Harrisburg, PA newspaper's famous dismissal of the GA as "silly remarks" for the full story on Why the Harrisburg Press hated the Gettysburg Address.
It shouldn't be necessary to parse such a short text to fully comprehend its meaning; it shouldn't even really be possible. But the Gettysburg Address, delivered on November 19, 1863 at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by President Abraham Lincoln, packs a great deal of meaning into a very few words, and the fact that some of its phrases have become iconic, used liberally in everyday society, has actually blurred some of their meaning. Let's go through it, attempting to be as concise as the author was, but knowing we will fail [this article is many times longer than his speech]:
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
–Yes, the first five words may be the most well-known; there's probably no American alive today over the age of 5 who hasn't heard those words, usually used in jest, or presented as impenetrable. It's the one archaic rhetorical flourish Lincoln included. "Score" means 20, so the number is four times 20 plus seven, or 87 years ago. In 1863, that was, of course, 1776, the year the Declaration of Independence was written and signed.
The important thing about that number and that date is how recent it was; just 87 years ago there had been no United States. Older adults in the crowd at Gettysburg had heard their parents' stories about colonial days, and the Revolutionary War. Their grandparents might never have known independence. So the nation brought forth so recently, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, possessed all the vulnerability of youth. It was not a powerful entity that could be counted on to withstand a civil war, particularly one that amassed casualties such as those at the Battle of Gettysburg.
"Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure."
–The point is reiterated: can the U.S. survive the war? But Lincoln's real question is about the precarious state of world affairs that the U.S. Civil War represented. The U.S. was founded as a nation dedicated to personal and political liberty. The Confederacy that fought the war was fighting for slavery, the opposite of personal and political liberty, and there seemed to be a real possibility that other nations, primarily England and France, would join the war on the Confederate side. If the U.S. lost the war, the only attempt at real democracy, personal liberty, and equality on Earth would be no more, and there might never be another. The U.S. had the best chance at making it work; if the U.S. failed, who else could succeed? The worst fears of the Founders and of all patriotic Americans were realized in this war, and in losses like the ones at Gettysburg.
"We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this."
–This was a recent battlefield. The bodies were cleared away, but the landscape was devastated by three days of cannon and gunfire. This drawing purports to show the start of the battle:
The soldiers are in a field surrounded by trees. Here is a photo from the day of the Address:
Yes, it's now November instead of July, but the ground being completely stripped of vegetation is not the result of the onset of winter, and the lack of a single tree speaks volumes about the ferocity of the battle. There is a tree stump taken from the battlefield at Spotsylvania on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC that is all that's left of a tall tree that was shot away to nothing by rifle fire during the fighting.
Gettysburg's trees must have suffered the same fate. Under that stripped-bare ground many men from both sides were already hastily buried. There was a strong need on the part of the families of the dead, who could not travel to Pennsylvania to find and retrieve their bodies, to find some way to set this battlefield aside as sacred ground.
"But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here."
–You can make the battlefield into a cemetery, but that action is not what makes the field sacred. It is the unselfish sacrifice of the U.S. dead, who fought to keep democracy and liberty alive in the world, that makes the land sacred–not just the land of the cemetery, but all lands of the United States. They are buried now in the cemetery, but they will live forever in the memory of the nation.
"It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced."
–The "unfinished work" the soldiers were doing is the work of keeping democracy alive as well as the nation.
"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us–that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion–"
—The last full measure of devotion" must be one of the most powerful ways to say "they gave their lives" ever conceived of. The U.S. soldiers buried here did not just die for a cause, they died because their faith in liberty was so devout that they put the life of their nation above their own lives.
"–that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
–We tend to think that the last phrase, "government of the people, by the people, for the people", must have appeared somewhere before this, in the Constitution or some Revolutionary War speech. It's surprising that it had not. This was Lincoln's own description, and it is simple and powerful. This final statement in the Address is far from a gentle benediction. It is a steely resolve to continue the fighting, continue the bloodshed, allow more men to die, and to dedicate more cemeteries to the war dead in order to guarantee that the United States will not perish and take freedom along with it. We "highly resolve" to continue the work of this war, knowing that it will not be easy and success is not assured. We do that today, in 2020, and every day that our founding principles are on the line and in danger from a world in which liberty and justice for all are not sacred ideals.
Delivering this final line, the president sat down. People in the audience were surprised. They had expected a longer speech–something more along the lines of the "translation" we've just provided, something more didactic that pounded points home over and over, and expressed its patriotism in more familiar, jingoistic language. Some felt insulted, and the press reviews were mixed: The Chicago Times said "The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly flat and dishwattery [sic] remarks of the man who has to be pointed out as the President of the United States." The local Harrisburg Patriot and Union said "…we pass over the silly remarks of the President: for the credit of the nation we are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them and that they shall no more be repeated or thought of."
Part of the problem was that the elder statesman of Massachusetts politics, Edward Everett, had spoken for over two hours in a much more conventional way before Lincoln. Technically, Everett was right to speak longer, as he was on the program to deliver an "oration" while the president was listed as giving only "dedicatory remarks". It was an age of very long speeches, and the longer the speech, the more seriously the speaker was taken.
But there were many people who realized they had just heard an historic speech. We'll close with the opinion of the reporter from the Providence Daily Journal who felt the same way we do today after he heard Lincoln speak: "We know not where to look for a more admirable speech than the brief one which the President made…. It is often said that the hardest thing in the world is to make a five minute speech. But could the most elaborate and splendid oration be more beautiful, more touching, more inspiring than those few words of the President?"

Being Retired and Remaining Current in a Fast Changing, Technology-led Military Environment.
80% of Inzpire's work force are ex-military with over 1,800 years combined military service and in excess of 200,000 flying hours between us.
We have collective experience in everything from attack helicopters to Typhoon jets, artillery leaders to cyber intelligence specialists. Despite this, a question often asked, and perhaps with a sceptical view of our ex-military credentials, is 'how do you stay current'?.
Currency is a key requirement for many in the military; it's what makes the front line sharp. Pilots, for example, have to adhere to a plethora of rules and regulations to allow them to remain 'current'. These may be things such as monthly flying hours, practice emergency simulators or tactically focused events and annual medicals to name but a few. Flying, fighting and deploying overseas all provide experience, knowledge and wisdom in order to enable the present generation to do their jobs and therefore remain current. As does keeping up to speed with the latest threat assessments and tactics.
So, are we here at Inzpire current in the same respect that our military friends need to be? Our Qualified Helicopter Instructors certainly are, but the rest of us probably not so. I would argue that this is not an issue and in some ways it is an advantage. There is no requirement for many of us to do those 'basic currency events' such as emergency handling and, of course, those time consuming secondary duties which means that we can focus on the tactical and technological aspects. Take, for example, Ex STEEL DRAGON that runs for 19 weeks per year at the Air Battlespace Training Centre (ABTC), where Inzpire make up the majority of the operations staff. Those of us who are Close Air Support (CAS) Subject Matter Experts certainly aren't current in the physical flying of our previous fighter platforms. But over the 19 weeks the Exercise runs we fly our simulators in a fully representative way with accurate communications and weapons. We do this in a fully contested and complex battlespace, adhering to rules of engagement where we can conduct fully joint 'live' fires. I certainly feel as current in CAS as I ever did on the front line and on top of that I have the luxury of being able to instantly face-to-face debrief with the person who has been controlling me after the event and conduct a full after action review within a couple of hours of the exercise end. You rarely get to do that through live flying on the front line – it's just not practical. And I certainly never spent 19 weeks a year conducting CAS in a contested battlespace back when I was flying on the front line.
Exercise STEEL DRAGON only makes up half the training throughout the year at the ABTC. The other half is spent flying simulated Composite Air Operations (large formations of fighters, bombers and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance platforms) for Typhoon, E-3D AWACs, Royal Navy Type-45 Ops Teams and Rivet Joint training. These are complex missions flown against formidable simulated adversaries that require a deep understanding of the air battle tactics and procedures.
At Inzpire we are regularly embedded with the military as part of what is known as the 'Whole Force'. This means that we can keep up to date with current tactics and are acutely aware of emerging adversary threats. We have teams working with the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Fast Jet Qualified Weapons Instructor (QWI) courses (the flagship flying courses in the RAF); have ex-army gunnery instructors, intelligence specialists and Air Battlespace Managers, all working together. In the military I rarely got regular face time with this many people with so many differing and complementary backgrounds. And that provides a whole new perspective on remaining tactically current; my knowledge is much broader now than it ever was when I was current live flying.
Being part of the team at Inzpire really isn't that different to being part of a front line squadron…although with fewer secondary duties and slightly less excitement. I always remember one of the 'old' members of my first flying Squadron telling us that, on his 40th birthday, we had to remember he wasn't old…he was experienced. Now that I'm over 40 and retired from the military I'd concur. And in my present role at the ABTC I feel as tactically current as I ever was on the front line.

Talking leadership 5: Tan Eng Chye on fully embracing lifelong learning
The National University of Singapore president says changing mindsets has been the most challenging aspect of overhauling approach to education
Rosa Ellis
Twitter: @RosaEllis
Source: National University of Singapore
Tan Eng Chye's daughter is an opera singer and also works for an electronics company. She is the living embodiment of his idea that people should have two skill sets in case the job market changes rapidly and one becomes obsolete.
The president of the National University of Singapore (NUS) has a laser-like focus on his students' employability. He gives the impression that, if he could, he would be the personal recruitment adviser to each of them and that if any were to find themselves unemployed, he would hold himself personally culpable.
Fear of automation and the relentless transformation of the labour market has led to many a conversation on lifelong learning in the offices of university administrators and policymakers, but no institution has embraced the idea quite like NUS.
In the latest in our Talking Leadership series, Times Higher Education speaks to Tan about the progress NUS has made since March 2018, when it began the process of "reimagining the function of a university" towards supporting learning for life.
'A huge problem'
Tan has in mind a hypothetical mechanical engineer: a man or woman who graduates at 22 years old, works in production for 20 years but fails to pick up any new skills, and finds themselves redundant at 42 because their firm can automate much of their work.
"I have another good 20 to 25 years to go in my career," he says, putting himself in their place. "And suddenly, I've realised that my skill sets are obsolete because I've not been upgrading myself over the past 20 years. That's a huge problem."
To prevent his disaster scenario, Tan, who was the first in his family to receive a degree, has embarked on a total overhaul of how NUS functions. He has changed undergraduate degrees from focusing on "depth" of knowledge to "breadth" to give students a broad base for lifelong learning, granted all NUS students 20 years of free continuing education, and is working closely with industry insiders to ensure that NUS courses provide students with up-to-date skills.
From depth to breadth
In their four-year undergraduate courses, NUS students now follow a broad general curriculum for a year and a half, specialise for the next 18 months, then either continue with their chosen area or pick up another specialism for their final year.
Tan likens the approach to the symbol for pi (Π), with the horizontal line representing broad-based general learning and the two vertical lines each representing a specialisation, such as his daughter's opera and creative design skill sets.
"Our graduates need to have options," he says. "Our challenge is this: if you are focused on one, what if this particular branch of knowledge becomes obsolete?"
The curriculum also involves a heavy dose of interdisciplinary teaching, something Tan is almost as passionate about as employment, because "problems don't fit nicely within one discipline".
After graduating, NUS alumni can return and sign up for any of a vast array of microcredentials and short courses. From "artificial intelligence for non-AI scientists" to "accounting information systems", graduates can study and explore any subject no matter the topic of their undergraduate degree, because, Tan believes, their general undergraduate course has set them up for lifelong learning: "If you graduated from NUS, you're good enough."
This has, of course, required many changes to the functioning of the university, not least to teaching. Because older learners must fit education around a career, classes use a blended approach and provide much of the content via online footage, with fortnightly in-person discussions on campus.
As a result, academics have had to convert their lectures into bite-sized videos, which some have taken to more than others, Tan says. NUS has developed a technical team to support lecturers to do this, and it provides a training course to upskill academics.
Accepting all graduates on any course presents another challenge: some students will have more relevant experience and therefore be more capable than others. To address this, NUS is experimenting with "adaptive learning," in which the academic sets a taxonomy of knowledge and skills and students work their way through each point.
"If I've understood point one, then I'll move to point two, then I'll move to point three, and so on and so forth," Tan explains.
"Once you have a taxonomy of skills and knowledge, you can actually use technology to channel the students according to their learning capabilities. Think of a gamification framework, map on to this a taxonomy of skill sets and competencies. Then we have adaptive learning."
Setting the taxonomy is not straightforward, Tan admits. "Teachers are smart, but sometimes they don't scrutinise how people learn…the teacher needs to be able to understand that different people with different capabilities have different trajectories in terms of thinking."
Some academics might balk at the extra teaching work required, but a system that NUS had in place before its shift to lifelong learning mitigates this to some extent.
As well as the traditional "tenure track", NUS has an "educator track", which allows those academics more interested in teaching to focus on their passion.
"There's always the feeling [that] the educator track is second class," Tan concedes, but the institution tries to temper this by ensuring that educator track academics are paid the same as those on the traditional research tenure track.
A third "practice track" provides a career trajectory for academics who still have a foot in industry. Tan says having scholars on this path is especially useful for students of subjects such as business, law, engineering, psychology, social work and data science because they "need the practitioners to bring in the real-life problems to our classroom".
These practice track professors help the university stay on the pulse when it comes to the knowledge and skills it needs to teach its students to keep up with the jobs market. In this endeavour, NUS has also established industry advisory panels for each course, and the institution's emphasis on internships sees students move between the workplace and university, spreading knowledge as they go.
Technology, unsurprisingly, is central to the university's upskilling agenda. An AI-driven app called Career Plus built by NUS computer scientists pulls data on required skills from jobs websites, cross-references it with skills a student already possesses, and suggests the courses they need to take to fill any gaps.
Such sweeping changes are not straightforward, so what has been the hardest part? "Mindset," says Tan, of academics and students alike. He had to convince both groups that education post-graduation is as important as education pre-graduation.
"Students still come with a certain mindset: four-year university education [and] they are made for life [they believe], particularly young graduates," he says. "They still don't have that mindset that I need to learn continually over time to build my own capability for my own professional development."
This work is not cheap. NUS is in the fortunate position of having a government committed to lifelong learning: the Singaporean government's Skills Future scheme pays up to 90 per cent of each student's tuition fees for an upskilling course. Master's students pay for themselves, providing an income stream for the university.
NUS currently has about 1,600 master's students and some 1,000 graduates taking shorter courses. Thousands more non-NUS older learners also take the institution's short courses. Ideally though, Tan would have 7,000 to 8,000 NUS alumni taking a course each year, with everyone coming back every five years at least.
Some might assume the upskilling agenda is focused purely on technology and STEM subjects, but NUS also caters to the arts, offering a master's in arts and cultural entrepreneurship and another in music leadership, for example.
"This is more to really address people with very specific skills," Tan says. "You don't build something that is diametrically opposite. I can't ask a musician to learn computer science tomorrow. There will be a big difference in terms of the ability, what they are trained for, and what they can do. So, we need to look for adjacent types of competencies."
Not born to lead
When it comes to leadership, Tan appears to be reluctant.
"I don't think I was born a leader," he says. "Neither do I want to be a leader. At some stage in my life, I was just asked…would you like to do this? Can you help? And I went into it."
He believes that leading a university requires a calm temperament – "talented people can also be stubborn and very eccentric" – as well as the ability to excite people and convince them to work in certain directions.
Despite his reticence, he appears to relish higher education and his role within it, particularly bringing people together across disciplines.
"One of the great enjoyments is to talk to my colleagues and have them to teach me and make me understand the things they're doing…and one of my joys is how to connect them," he says. "I become a matchmaker of greater ideas."
In terms of recalibrating NUS towards lifelong learning, if he were embarking on the project from scratch is there anything he would do differently?
"I wish that I could push it faster," he says. "I feel that the disruptions to society will be much greater in the next few years. Our graduates will have even more challenging times. I really wish that I had done a lot of this earlier, to better prepare them."

Yoon's office, ruling party step up offensive against MBC
The presidential office and the ruling party are ratcheting up the pressure on local broadcaster MBC over its reporting on President Yoon Suk-yeol's controversial use of vulgar language, against rising accusations of attempts at censorship of the press.

Office sends letter to verify reports; ruling party visits broadcaster in protest
By Shin Ji-hye

The presidential office and the ruling party are ratcheting up the pressure on local broadcaster MBC over its reporting on President Yoon Suk-yeol's controversial use of vulgar language, against rising accusations of attempts at censorship of the press.
The presidential office said Tuesday night it sent an official letter to MBC President Park Sung-je asking for clarification on the matter.
The letter asked the broadcaster to answer on what grounds it wrote the subtitles for Yoon's remarks in a video showing him conversing with aides shortly after attending the Global Fund's Seventh Replenishment Conference in New York. It also asked the broadcaster about whether efforts had been made to verify Yoon's remarks with the presidential office.
"Regarding the MBC report, the presidential office said the subtitles were false. However, MBC did not revise the initial report but rather made additional reports, and the contents were reproduced with subtitles called 'domestic media reports,'" the letter said, adding it damaged the alliance with the US as well as the national interest.
MBC immediately refuted the office's claim, releasing its own statement.
"It is very regrettable that the presidential office, the highest authority, sent an official letter to the president of a public broadcasting company in the form of clarification of the reporting process, despite that there is an institutional mechanism that can object to the report," the statement said.
"Even though most domestic media outlets reported the same, the fact that (the presidential office) sent such an official letter only to MBC raises doubts about whether it is trying to settle the controversy by sacrificing MBC," it added.
MBC hoped that the recent attack on the broadcaster, which is being conducted primarily by some political circles, is not an attempt to "curb the public monitoring" and "criticism functions of the media."
During his trip to New York last week, Yoon was caught on a hot mic insulting the US Congress. In the video released by local media, Yoon told his aides with vulgar language that it would be embarrassing for Biden if Congress did not approve something unspecified. The presidential office later sought to clarify that the remarks were directed at Korea's National Assembly, not the US Congress.
On Tuesday, the People Power Party launched a task force to find out the truth of what they called "MBC's biased manipulated broadcasting."
The following day, the ruling People Power Party members, including Vice Floor Leader Song Eon-seok, visited MBC in protest of the controversy over Yoon's remarks. The lawmakers also held a rally on MBC's purportedly manipulated broadcasts, including pickets in front of MBC's management center.
The ruling party is additionally urging MBC executives to resign. On Monday, some lawmakers held a press conference demanding the resignation of MBC President Park Sung-je and an apology broadcast, saying, "It is a serious manipulation broadcast that will remain as a dark stain on the media."
The party announced that it would take decisive action against Korea's leading broadcaster MBC, which first reported Yoon's remarks.

Exhibition | Slavery: Ten True Stories
Posted in books, catalogues, exhibitions, online learning by Editor on August 4, 2021
Exhibition trailer by Boomerang Motion.
From the press release for the exhibition now on view (an initial notice appeared here at Enfilade in September 2019, but here's the full, updated information, including links for terrific online components). . .
Slavery: Ten True Stories
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 5 June — 29 August 2021
Curated by Eveline Sint Nicolaas and Valika Smuelders
The Rijksmuseum, the national museum of arts and history of the Netherlands, presents its first ever major exhibition dedicated to the subject of slavery this summer. Slavery is inextricably bound up with Dutch history. This is the first time stories of slave trade across the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans are told together in one exhibition in the Netherlands. The exhibition presents ten true stories. Ten personal stories about enslaved people and slave owners, people who resisted, and people who were brought to the Netherlands in slavery. What were their lives like? What was their attitude to the system of slavery? Were they able to make their own decisions?
The exhibition includes objects from national and international museums, archives, and private collections—including the Nationaal Museum voor Wereldculturen, British Museum, National Gallery of Denmark, Iziko Museums of South Africa, St Eustatius Historical Foundation, National Archeological Antropological Memory Management (NAAM) in Curaçao, the National Archives of South Africa, Indonesia and the Netherlands, and private collections in Sint Eustatius, Suriname, and the Netherlands.
Valika Smeulders, head of History Rijksmuseum: "By focusing on ten true personal stories, Slavery gives an insight into how individuals dealt with legalized injustice."
Taco Dibbits, General Director Rijksmuseum: "The Rijksmuseum is the national museum of art and history. Slavery is an integral part of our history. By delving into it, we can form a more complete picture of our history and a better understanding of today's society."
Ten True Stories
During the 250-year colonial period, people were made into property and objects to be recorded in accounts. The exhibition highlights the lives of ten people who lived at the time. They each tell their own story: about living in slavery or taking advantage of it, about resistance, and—ultimately—freedom. They include enslaved people and slaveholders, as well as individuals who broke the shackles of slavery, an African servant in the Netherlands, and an Amsterdam sugar industrialist. An audio tour leads visitors through these widely differing lives. Among the narrators are Joy Delima, Remy Bonjasky and Anastacia Larmonie, who each have a connection with one of the ten people through their own background.
The exhibition includes objects, paintings, and unique archival documents. Visitors also will hear oral sources, poems, and music. To tell a more complete story, there will be exhibits that have never been shown in the Rijksmuseum before, such as objects that were cherished by people in slavery and tools that were used on plantations.
The Dutch Colonial Period on Four Continents
Alexander de Lavaux, Map of Suriname, 1737, silk, 187 × 216 cm (Amsterdam: Rijksmuseum).
The exhibition spans the Dutch colonial period from the 17th to the 19th century. It features the trans-Atlantic slavery in Suriname, Brazil, and the Caribbean, along with the part played by the Dutch West India Company (WIC) and Dutch colonial slavery in South Africa and Asia, where the Dutch East India Company (VOC) operated. The effects of the system in the Netherlands during the period are also highlighted. As a whole, it offers a geographically broad and at the same time specifically Dutch view that has never been seen before in a national museum.
The stories in the exhibition—about João, Wally, Oopjen, Paulus, Dirk, Lokhay, Van Bengalen, Surapati, Sapali and Tula—stand for millions of other stories about the slavery past of the Netherlands and its continued effects. At the end of the exhibition, the artists David Bade (Curacao, 1970) and Tirzo Martha (Curacao, 1965), both from Curacao's Instituto Buena Bista, invite visitors to give expression to their own stories through the ten new artworks making up the Look at Me Now project. Visitors can follow the progress of this project via the website.
The Rijksmuseum is also presenting the ten stories in an online exhibition that features video and audio clips, animations, an overview of the exhibition galleries, and objects that can be viewed in exceptional detail. Visitors to the website will be able to see the Slavery exhibition in ten episodes, whenever and wherever it suits them.
The Rijksmuseum partnered with the National Library of the Netherlands and the National Archive of the Netherlands to present an English-language online symposium on 23 April 2021, focusing on what it means to increase inclusivity in source usage by museums, archives, and libraries. What sources are available to people making presentations and conducting research on the subjects of slavery and the slave trade? Click here to view a recording of the symposium.
Rijksmuseum & Slavery
For the coming year, more than 70 objects in the permanent collection will have a second museum label that explores and highlights what has been, until now, an invisible relationship between the object and slavery. Subjects covered range from former rulers to the presence of people of colour and the way they are portrayed. Rijksmuseum & Slavery takes place concurrently with the Slavery exhibition, but it is not part of the exhibition.
The exhibition and accompanying events and activities are the result of collaboration with a wide variety of external experts, including historians, heritage experts, cultural entrepreneurs, artists, theatre practitioners, and performers.

This project, aimed at reconsidering objects in the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum, coincides with the major exhibition Slavery: Ten True Stories:
Rijksmuseum & Slavery: New Light on the Permanent Collection
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 18 May 2021 — February 2022
Many of the works in the Rijksmuseum's permanent collection have links with the Netherlands' slavery past. It's a relationship you probably won't notice at first glance and one you won't typically read about on a museum label next to an object: from the nutmeg harvested by enslaved people, to an enslaved woman shipped off to the Netherlands; from the image of a dance party on a Surinamese plantation that hides critical messages about the slaveholder, to the pulpit from which an 18th-century legal philosopher made the case for abolishing slavery.
Rijksmuseum & Slavery is adding 77 museum labels to paintings and objects in the permanent collection. The new labels will remain in place for a year, until February 2022. All of them focus on the colonial power of the Netherlands, which from the 17th century onwards was inextricably bound up with a system that included slavery. Some of the labels tell the stories of people who, under Dutch rule, were enslaved and put to work, and had their status reduced to that of objects, while others highlight people who profited from slavery, or spoke out against it.
When the Slavery exhibition and Rijksmuseum & Slavery have ended, the museum will evaluate both the pre-existing labels and the new ones. Wherever possible, the new information will be integrated into the museum in order to do greater justice to the Netherlands' complicated history. The labels are collected in a booklet available free of charge in the museum. The booklet can also be downloaded here. In addition, all the labelled works are available online as a collection in Rijksstudio (in two parts: 1500–1650 and 1650–1960).
Hendrik Keun, The Garden and Coach House of 524 Keizersgracht in Amsterdam, 1772, oil on panel (Amsterdam: Rijksmuseum).
From the booklet: first the original label and then the newly added one:
Nicolaas Doekscheer, who lived at 524 Keizersgracht, built a grand, Rococo coach house on the Kerkstraat, which adjoined the back of his garden. He is here depicted conversing with the gardener, while his wife speaks to a maidservant. The two young men are Doekscheer's nephews and heirs. The painting is still in its original Rococo frame.
The 18th-century Dutch elite benefitted greatly from the slavery-based plantation economy.[1] So did Nicolaas Doekscheer and his associate Hendrik Steenbergen, both depicted here in a garden. They financed no less than fifteen plantations in Berbice, Demerary, and Essequebo (all three part of present-day Guyana, South America).[2] Thanks to these loans, plantation owners were able to set up their coffee, cotton, and sugar plantations, while in Amsterdam Doekscheer and Steenbergen made a substantial profit from the interest.[3] See booklet for the footnotes.

Q: javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException: smtp occurs when class is loaded from a custom class loader I am working on a Java EE application with GlassFish as the application server. I have developed a pluggable addon for sending out emails(I have named it EmailProvider). For this, I am using late binding to load the EmailProvider jar at runtime. I have a custom URLClassLoader which loads the EmailProvider class file. The email provider has the JavaMail API to send out email. Here is the code snippet. This code works perfectly if I include the EmailProvider class in my Java EE application but throws an exception at
 Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
saying "javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException: smtp"i f I load the class at runtime using the customClassLoader. I know that this is classloading issue. I am also loading the javax.mail.jar through the customloader. I think the problem is same classes(javax.mail.jar) are being loaded from two different classloaders. If I omit javax.mail.jar then I get ClassNotFoundException for the javax.mail classes

A: First, there's nothing named "JEE".  The correct name is "Java EE".
The problem is that JavaMail can't find the configuration file in the javax.mail.jar file.  It uses the thread's context class loader's getResource() method to find it.  Assuming you've set up your custom class loader so that your application class loader is the parent class loader, you can set the thread's context class loader to your custom class loader.

Conte Beatty è un titolo nobiliare inglese nella Parìa del Regno Unito.

Storia

Il titolo venne creato nel 1919 per il comandante militare Ammiraglio della Flotta David Beatty il quale già era stato creato Barone Beatty, del Mare del Nord e di Brooksby nella contea di Leicester, nonché Visconte Borodale, di Wexford nella contea di Wexford, quando ricevette la contea, sempre nella parìa del Regno Unito. Lord Beatty venne succeduto dal figlio primogenito, il II conte, che fu parlamentare per la costituente di Peckham nelle file dei conservatori dal 1931 al 1936 e prestò servizio per breve tempo come Sottosegretario di Stato per l'Aria nel governo capeggiato da Winston Churchill nel 1945. Attualmente i titoli sono passati al figlio primogenito di quest'ultimo, il III conte, succeduto al padre nel 1972.

Conti Beatty (1919)
David Richard Beatty, I conte Beatty (1871–1936)
David Field Beatty, II conte Beatty (1905–1972)
David Beatty, III conte Beatty (n. 1946)

L'erede apparente è il figlio dell'attuale detentore del titolo, Sean David Beatty, visconte Borodale (n. 1973), noto artista, poeta e documentarista.

'Never give up, never stop' | Local Facebook post credited with finding missing Maryland 1-year-old, on the NYC subway
WUSA9
Mike Valerio
CLICK HERE to watch.
RIVERDALE, Md. — It's not every day that a Facebook post finds a missing baby. It's rare when the rescue happens in a few hours. And it's even more extraordinary when the infant goes missing in Montgomery County, and a stranger riding the New York City subway looks up and recognizes the baby.
Such is the chain of events with the safe return of 1-year-old Ziona Amaya, first reported missing by Montgomery County detectives on Sunday. But. it was the social media reach of the local non-profit, Black and Missing, Inc., that led to the case's conclusion, police said.
"This case gives hope to other families, to never give up, never stop," said Derrica Wilson, co-founder of Black and Missing. "We have to applaud that vigilant community member, that saw our social media post, snapped the picture, and reported it to law enforcement."
Wilson's non-profit has spent the past 14 years bringing cases with missing persons of color into the spotlight. Black and Missing's Facebook page posted the Montgomery Police missing flier Wednesday morning.
By 4:30 p.m. the same day, Wilson learned a Facebook follower saw the post, recognized the baby and the child's father on the subway, and crucially, took a picture on their phone.
The individual then contacted authorities in Maryland, who immediately reached out to the NYPD. Officers in New York were able to track down the infant and declare her safe.
"Don't just like the post, share!" Wilson said. "We have to be that digital milk carton. Just because someone is missing in this area, doesn't mean that they're in this area. This right here is all of our responsibility. Law enforcement, the media and the community. And it just shows the power of when we all come together."
Ziona's father has since been charged with kidnapping and hiding a child by relocation out of state.

Thomson Reuters acquires trading technology company REDI Holdings
News September 22, 2016 —by Mike Fox 0
Thomson Reuters (NYSE: TRI) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire REDI Holdings, a trading technology pioneer whose flagship REDIPlus execution management system (EMS) provides advanced cross-asset class trading capabilities to the buy-side. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of Q4 subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals.
The REDI acquisition is intended to help Thomson Reuters deliver an integrated workflow solution to the buy-side trading community. By incorporating REDI's trading capabilities into Eikon, Thomson Reuters next-generation financial markets desktop, and Elektron, its suite of data and trading propositions, Thomson Reuters will enable institutional traders to move seamlessly from pre-trade activities to trade execution across asset classes on an integrated platform.
Michael Chin, managing director, global head of equities, Thomson Reuters said:
"Integrating REDI into Thomson Reuters solutions will enable us to transform Eikon into a world-class trading solution for the buy-side and further expand the breadth and depth of market data available to them via Elektron — helping our customers participate in the market with greater intelligence and efficiency. Like Thomson Reuters, REDI has a long commitment to innovation through its open technology platform that seamlessly integrates third-party data, applications and capabilities — a core tenet of Thomson Reuters own strategy."
Founded in 1992 by market maker and New York Stock Exchange specialist Spear, Leeds & Kellogg, REDI has a strong track record of delivering EMS capabilities to the buy-side. From 2001 to 2013, REDI was owned and operated by Goldman Sachs. In 2013 Goldman Sachs spun out the REDI business into a collaborative, industry-backed consortium including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Citadel and investment funds affiliated with Lightyear Capital, LLC, as well as Goldman Sachs. Bank of America Merrill Lynch also transferred its InstaQuote EMS to REDI as part of its investment.
Rishi Nangalia, chief executive officer, REDI commented:
"The buy-side continues to need truly open, broker-neutral trading systems. We made the decision to become part of the Thomson Reuters family so that our team could realize our ambitious product goals with access to the deep resources and technological infrastructure of a global leader in financial services. Our capabilities are extremely complementary to Thomson Reuters and will allow us to bring together an independent, end-to-end trading solution to market that is unique in the industry."

Q: How to programmatically get questions from a Survey The question is quite simple:
how can I get the list of questions from a Survey?

A: In Survey list the question is a field. In order to determine whether field is a question or regular field you could utilize SourceID attribute, in case of questions its value is not http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3:
/// <summary>
/// Get questions in Survey List
/// </summary>
/// <param name="list"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static IEnumerable<SPField> GetSurveyQuestions(SPList list)
{
     return (from SPField field in list.Fields
                let fieldSchema = XElement.Parse(field.SchemaXml)
                let sourceId = fieldSchema.Attribute("SourceID").Value
                where sourceId != "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3"
                select field).ToList();
}

Usage
using (var site = new SPSite(siteUrl))
{
    using (var web = site.OpenWeb())
    {
         var list = web.Lists[surveyName];
         var questions = GetSurveyQuestions(list);
         //print questions
         foreach (var question in questions)
         {
            Console.WriteLine(question.Title);
         }
    }
 }

A: The only answer I found right now is this: checking the ShowInVersionHistory property of each field!
using (SPSite sito = new SPSite("URL"))
        {
            using (SPWeb web = sito.OpenWeb())
            {
               var list = web.Lists["SURVEY LIST NAME"];

                foreach(var Field in list.Fields.Cast<SPField>().Where(x => x.ShowInVersionHistory))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(Field.ToString());
                }
          }
   }

In my case, this will print all the Questions
Is there a better way to do that?

To buy dissertation online, you can easily hire one of the many available dissertation writers that will tailor their writing to your requirements. Here are 4 helpful recommendations that are good to keep in mind when looking to hire a company to complete or write out your dissertation.
Do a thorough search – It is really vital that you take the time to conduct a detailed search before you hire a dissertation writer or buy a dissertation online. There is an overwhelming number of companies that claim to ease your workload and provide you with the best essay, but likely most of these are hollow statements. Many companies also don't supply a written out essay but instead, follow a framework model whereby their written content is merely a guide for writing your own.
Contact before you order dissertation – Communication is important and if the companies you email or call do not get back to you shortly, it is a sign that they may not be as prompt with your dissertation either. Confirm that the company you want to hire is able to work with you for the kind of dissertation writing that you are looking for. Get in touch with them directly to buy your dissertation online or move ahead and hire a dissertation writer.
Check your budget – Companies are keen on getting your business when people want to buy dissertations online. However, it is upto you to check whether the number of words you need coincides with the budget that you have in mind. Well-established agencies might be hard pressed to change the rates they work for. But you can hire a dissertation writer who is flexible with regard to negotiating prices, and come to a point where you mutually agree.
Find your writer – There are a gamut of dissertation writing agencies but you need to find one that has a team equipped in your subject area. Even if you buy a dissertation online, confirm that the content of the dissertation is matching with what you might say in your field. A dissertation is supposed to be a unique showcase of your writing skills so make sure that the service you use, has policies in place against plagiarized content. You should have no doubts regarding the authenticity of the dissertation content you submit for review.
