A Brief History Of Each Bermuda Parish
Friday Apr 08th, 2022
Bermuda is a haven for divers and those who enjoy the underwater world. The Atlantic off the coast of Bermuda provides stunning vistas of coral reefs, shipwrecks, underwater caverns, and a variety of coral and marine life. Water sports such as snorkeling and swimming with dolphins are unparalleled anyplace in the globe.
No wonder renowned Novelist and Travel writer, Mark Twain famously remarked, "You go to heaven if you want to, I'd rather stay right here in Bermuda" during the 187 days he spent exploring the beautiful island of Bermuda.
It's also why Sir George Somers has his heart and entrails buried in Bermuda – soon after named the Somers Islands – and the rest of his body buried in England. Sir George Somers was an English privateer and sea captain who served as admiral of a large resupply voyage to Jamestown in 1609; his ship the Sea Venture was gravely wrecked by a storm and its passengers stranded for almost ten months on the islands of Bermuda.
-Bermuda's Parishes-
Bermuda is split into nine parishes in addition to several communities, each with its own charm and character. Here's the ultimate guide to the parishes and towns in Bermuda and what to do in each of them.
St George Parish is located on Bermuda's eastern coast. The parish's primary hub is St. George, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town is rich in history. In the early 17th century, here is where the original residents of Bermuda arrived and established the British settlement. St George is also home to Bermuda Airport. There are additional cruise ship ports on the waterfront at St George's Town. Smaller cruise ships stop here on occasion.
There are several attractions and activities in St George, including beautiful beaches, forts, museums, historical structures, park areas, water sports, and much more.
Top Attractions in St George Bermuda
The King's Square
This is St. George's town center, where various annual celebrations take place, including the Pepper Corn Ceremony. Here is also the Visitors Information Center.
Park at Ferry Reach
The second largest parkland in Bermuda, offering some of nature's best in the form of plantation, lakes, bay, and a small beach (Whale bone bay beach), and pathways. The park also contains three old forts. A fantastic location for families and children.
Mid Ocean Golf Club
Experts rank Mid Ocean, an 18-hole golf course, as one of the best in the world. Aside from spectacular views, this course features guest rooms, a full-service clubhouse, tennis courts, and beaches.
Tuckers Point Golf Club
The Tuckers Point course features stunning views as well as re-contoured fairways and bunkers. It now has a new practice facility, which includes a driving range, putting green, and short game area. Tiff-Eagle has been used to rebuild all of the greens, making the course significantly quicker and more enjoyable.
The Tucker House Museum
This is an 18th-century mansion that is now a museum displaying collections from a prominent family that once lived there. The house's kitchen was formerly used as a barbershop by a slave who fled from South Carolina and arrived in Bermuda in 1862.
Museum of the Bermuda National Trust
Bermuda National Trust Museum, located in King's Square, is one of the island's oldest stone structures. Among other things, it discusses Bermuda's role in America's civil war.
St. Regis Resort
A haven of oceanfront elegance situated in the historic town of St. George's; The St. Regis Bermuda Resort is just steps from the soft white sands of St. Catherine's Beach. The calm turquoise water and stunning views create an iconic resort setting where lavishly appointed accommodations, exceptional amenities and impeccable service combine for an unforgettable stay in St. George.
Hamilton Parish, located directly west of St George, is Bermuda's second most eastern parish. Hamilton City, which is located 8 miles distant in Pembroke Parish, is unrelated to Hamilton Parish. Many tourists believe that the capital city is part of the parish. Hamilton Parish was once known as Bailey's Bay. It was later called for James Hamilton, the 2nd Marquis of the parish, who made major investments in the early 1600s to establish Bermuda.
Hamilton parish encompasses the Harrington Sound watershed and contains numerous deep water limestone caverns and subterranean tunnels. The neighborhood is mostly residential, with beautiful scenery and a variety of public parks and nature reserves. If you are visiting St. George by land or traveling from St. George to other parishes, you must pass through Hamilton Parish.
Attractions and Activities in Hamilton Parish
Even if you just have a limited amount of time on the island, you should spend at least half a day in Hamilton parish to take advantage of some of the outstanding sights it has to offer.
The Bermuda Aquarium, Museum, and Zoo
This complex is home to more than 200 different fish and invertebrates. You will discover fantastic native fishes, unusual reptiles, pink flamingos, and much more in a stunning setting. It is the island's primary center for marine research.

This cave contains amazing stalagmite and stalagmite formations.
Walsingham and Blue Hole Park
Bermuda's Nature Reserve encompasses 12 acres of land.
Bermuda's Shelly Bay
Because of its long stretch of shallow waters, this is one of Bermuda's best pink beaches for kids and families.
Smith's Parish is primarily a residential area with extensive farm areas and scenic portions. The parish's boundaries include the north and south shores, as well as the southern section of Harrington Sound. The parish provides beautiful country rides and attractiveness to visitors. Smith's Parish was named after Sir Thomas Smith, a British gentleman who made significant early investments to populate Bermuda and the Parish.
Onions, strawberries, carrots, and other seasonal commodities are gathered and sold in stores along areas of farmland. In Smith's parish, near the Spittal Pond, there is also a huge dairy farm. This is one of the island's only two such dairies. In Smith's parish, there is also a sizable Portuguese community. Many people have come to Bermuda, while others have lived here for decades.
Smith's Parish Attractions
The Bay of John Smith's
It's a long and wide expanse of pink sand on one of Bermuda's pink sandy beaches. Snorkeling is a popular activity on the beach.
Spittal Pond Nature Reserve
This is Bermuda's largest and most prestigious nature reserve, spanning 64 acres of land. This is an excellent spot for bird watching on the island.
Bermuda's Verdmont Museum
Verdmont is a 1710 Georgian-style home in Bermuda that has kept its original construction.
Bermuda's Watch Hill Park
Watch Hill Park, located on a picturesque stretch of South Road, is great for relaxing and taking in the stunning views of the south coast.
Bermuda's Harrington Sound
The Flatts inlet connects this picturesque inland lake to the Atlantic Ocean. The view from Harrington Sound Road is breathtaking.
Devonshire is a parish in Bermuda's central region. The parish was named after William Cavendish, the first Earl of the Parish and a British investor in Devonshire colonization. Devonshire, unlike the other parishes, lacks bays or ports and hence cannot participate in the marine sector development.
However, it has thrived primarily through farming and agriculture. The scenery is breathtaking, and the parish has a laid-back country vibe. In the mid-nineteenth century, the British established a powerful military presence here, with forts with views all the way up to the Royal Naval Dockyard at Bermuda's western end.
Devonshire Attractions
Bermuda Arboretum is a 22-acre National Park with extensive meadows and a diverse variety of plants and plantations.
Devonshire Bay
It is a Bermuda National Park featuring a beautiful mix of beach, forts, parkland, and picnic spaces.
Old Devonshire Church
The original version of the church, which dates back to 1624, is one of the oldest in Bermuda. It's a tiny and popular cottage-style church on the Middle Road.
Palm Grove Gardens
Palm Grove is an 18-acre landscaped garden in Bermuda with a variety of Palm trees. It also contains a bird aviary and a lovely lily pond.
Pembroke is a parish located in Bermuda's central region. This is the busiest and most populated parish, and it is entirely urban. Hamilton City, Bermuda's capital, and commercial center is located in Pembroke parish. However, its boundaries inside Pembroke have blurred. The early immigrants named the parish Spanish Point. It was later named after William Herbert, the third Earl of Pembroke (1580-1630). Today, Spanish Point is a distinct parish area with beautiful parks and beaches.
Attractions & Sights in Pembroke
I've listed the top attractions in Pembroke that are located outside of Hamilton or on its outskirts.
Bermuda's Fort Hamilton
Fort Hamilton in Bermuda, built in the 1870s, is located on the outskirts of Hamilton city, overlooking the beach and beautiful gardens.
Bermuda's Spanish Point
This is a little land area with a picturesque port view, a lovely park, and a bay with a tiny beach.
A steep set of stairs through a cliff leads down to this wonderful little beach, located east of Clarence Cove on North Shore Road.
Nature Reserve at Butterfield
Butterfield Nature Reserve, located on the Point Shares peninsula in Pembroke, is a spectacular exhibition of natural palmetto woodland.
Paget
Paget is a parish in Bermuda's central region. Warwick is to the west, and Devonshire lies to the east. The north bank of Paget overlooks the lovely Hamilton harbor, while the south coast is home to stunning beaches such as Elbow Beach. Paget's location can be found on the Bermuda Parish Map. The parish has been named after William Paget, the fourth Lord of Paget (lived 1572 - 1629).
Paget Bermuda Attractions
Beach at the Elbow
This lovely coastline has a gradual bend that resembles an elbow. It is divided into private and public areas. Reefs may be seen near to the beach, and the beach is ideal for snorkeling. This beach, like all other south shore beaches, features pink sands. Elbow Beach Hotel operates a beach bar here, as well as a water sports operator.
Botanical Gardens of Bermuda
Large glass homes with cacti and orchids, as well as gardens full of flowers and plants, may be found here. The Botanical Gardens also serves as the location for Bermuda's annual AG Show festival, often known as the Annual Exhibition.
Nature Reserve in Paget Marsh
Paget Marsh is a natural reserve that takes visitors on a journey back in time to see pre-colonial plants on 25 acres of land.
The Port of Hamilton
This is a natural harbor developed between the Parishes of Paget and Pembroke. Hamilton Harbor is part of the Great Sound, forming a tapering wedge of water between these two parishes. The harbor is presently used as a port area for smaller cruise ships and has beautiful views.
Warwick is well recognized for its pink south shore beaches, national parks, reserves, golf courses, and other fantastic attractions, and it is a parish that has it all. The town of Warwick, pronounced wah-rick, was named after Earl Sir Robert Rich.
In the 1600s, he was a major British investor in Bermuda and the parish. With its many natural resources, such as stunning pink beaches, wonderful attractions, facilities, and several luxury hotels, Warwick parish has grown into one of the main tourist destinations in Bermuda throughout the years.
Warwick is located in western Bermuda, between the parishes of Southampton and Paget. Hamilton City is only approximately 20 minutes away by bus from Warwick. Check out the Parish Map to see where Warwick and other parishes in Bermuda are located.
Warwick Attractions
South Shore Park
This is the full stretch of south coast beaches and path area, which is part of Bermuda's national parks. It begins in Southampton Parish and extends all the way to the east. It begins at Chaplin Bay in Warwick, continues past Stone hole Bay and Jobson's Cove, and terminates at Warwick Long Bay.
Christ the King's Church
This church, which dates back to 1719, is one of the oldest Presbyterian churches in the Western Hemisphere. This lovely chapel with a vast graveyard is located on Middle Road, directly across from the Belmont Hills Club. You can get there by using Bus #8. Sunday services begin at 8 a.m. and end at 11 a.m.
Lake Paradise
This is a beautiful marine location in the Great Sound, surrounded by a number of small islands.
Southampton is one of Bermuda's nine parishes, located in the island's lower western extremity and forming a small strip of land between Sandys and Warwick parishes. Visit Parish Map to see Southampton parish's location in relation to all other parishes. Southampton was after Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl of the Parish, who invested heavily in the colonization of Bermuda in the early 1600s.
The parish of Southampton revolves around a small body of water known as the Little Sound. Above it is a bigger water region known as the Great Sound, which opens out to the Atlantic Ocean on the northern side. The Great Sound and the Little Sound are separated by two peninsulas protruding out from two sides, one from Sandys parish and the other from Warwick. There are a number of little islets inside Little Sound and Great Sound, some of which are also part of Southampton parish.
Attractions in Southampton
The Gibbs Hill Lighthouse
This is the world's oldest cast-iron lighthouse, located in Southampton Parish.
The Church of St. Anne
St. Anne's Church, located on Church Road in Southampton Parish, is a magnificent picture-perfect church. The first Chapel and Nave were constructed in 1717. In 1905, the tower was constructed. There is a Sunday service. The church also has its own cemetery. This church inspired the name of the surrounding Church Bay. The view of the south shore from here is spectacular.
Fort and Park at Whale Bay
It is located in Whale Bay Park and provides a panoramic view of the ocean.
Seymour's Pond
It's a 2.5-acre nature preserve and a bird sanctuary. There are also old cedars and pepper trees.
The Fairmont Southampton
The Fairmont Southampton, Bermuda is a luxury resort perched on Bermuda's stunning south shore with miles of pink sand beaches. Conveniently located in the mid-Atlantic, less than a two-hour flight from most east coast gateways, this hotel is perfect for getaways year-round. Sitting on nearly 100 gorgeous acres dotted with lush bougainvillea and towering coconut palms, The Fairmont Southampton is Bermuda's largest full-service luxury beach resort boasting 593 rooms and 6 floors with amazing views of ocean and sound. Unparalleled amenities are offered throughout the property.
Sandy's
Sandys is Bermuda's westernmost parish or county. It is named for Sir Edwin Sandys, who made significant investments in the parish in the early 1600s. The name of the parish is pronounced 'Sands.' Sandys is made up of five islands connected by bridges. Ireland Island North, Ireland Island South, Boaz Island, Watford Island, and the largest of all, Somerset Island, are the islands. Ireland Island North is home to the Royal Naval Dockyard, where the majority of cruise ships dock.
Because it is the furthest away from congested Hamilton City, numerous portions of the parish offer refreshing peace and solitude that are rapidly dwindling in tourist-populated Bermuda. At the same time, Hamilton is easily accessible by ferry from both the dockyard and Somerset. There are other buses that run between the dockyard and Hamilton.
Other Tourist Attractions and Sites in Sandys
The Royal Navy Dockyard
The British developed this dockyard and naval base in the early nineteenth century. Here are the cruise berths Kings Wharf and Heritage Wharf. The complex is home to a number of popular tourist attractions.
Bermuda's National Museum
Rare exhibits of Bermuda's colonial and marine history are on display.
Bermuda Dolphin Quest
In the Dockyard, there is a magnificent Dolphin Center. If you want to swim with dolphins, touch them, or feed them, there is no better place than Bermuda's Dolphin Quest.
Bermuda Art Center (Bermuda)
This is a creative workshop of brilliant local and resident artists located in the dockyard. It displays a diverse spectrum of artwork, such as paintings, sculpture, and pottery.
Other Communities/Towns in Bermuda
Flatts Village
Flatts is a small fishing community in Hamilton Parish, about midway between Hamilton City and St. George. A major portion of it is also located in Smith's parish. Flatts Village is known for its attractive pastel-colored buildings, picturesque fishing places, palm trees, stunning surroundings, and delicious restaurants.
Flatts Village was one of the first British communities on the island, dating back to the early 1600s. Somers, who arrived in Bermuda for the first time in 1609 on the ship Sea Venture, included Flatts village in his maps. When Bermuda's capital was at St. George, the parliament met at Flatts Village on occasion. The region grew popular among the wealthy.
Tuckers town
Tucker's Town, a little peninsular area in the southern section of St. George's parish, has seen unusual changes over time. Until the First World War, the poorest people in Bermuda lived there, relying on fishing and farming for a living. Tucker's Town is now a haven for the wealthy. Today, the price of real estate in this small community starts from $2 million and is mostly occupied by a slew of well-known non-Bermudians.
The Dockyard is located on Ireland Island in Sandy's Parish at Bermuda's western edge (North). Because the dockyard is spread out over a 24-acre plot of ground, everything in the port area is within walking distance of the cruise berths.
The Royal Naval Dockyard has been in operation for nearly a century, assisting British forces in conflicts such as the American War of 1812. The Keep Fortress was built here in the mid-1800s, covering an area of 6-acres, to protect the dockyard against enemy invasions from western waterways. This Keep castle now houses the National Museum of Bermuda.
A variety of activities are available from the dockyard, including island tours, boating, and sailing tours, water sports (such as kayaking, jet skiing, paddle boarding, snorkeling cruises, scuba diving, and more), fishing trips, a series of events and festivals, and more.
City of Hamilton
Hamilton, the island's capital since 1815, is a tiny, dynamic, and welcoming city. It is the island's cultural and commercial center. Hamilton, as the island's primary container port, is also the core of Bermuda's shipping trade. Hamilton City is centrally located on the island, in Pembroke Parish, and faces Hamilton Harbor (the tapering water area between Pembroke and Paget parishes).
The city is now 185 acres in size, far larger than it was when it began, and has a population of around 1800 people. The majority of the working population comes from the surrounding parishes by ferry, automobile, or bus. The city of Hamilton is one of the world's smallest capital cities.
Somerset Village
Somerset Village is a small, unincorporated village in the northwest area of Bermuda, located in Sandys Parish. It lies in the northern half of Somerset Island. The settlement, like Flatts Village and Tucker's Town, has been around for generations, yet its origin is unknown due to a lack of formal borders and municipal administration, and when the region became known as a village is unknown.
The settlement is located on the southern shore of Mangrove Bay, and it was once a useful, albeit modest, port. Today, the neighborhood contains a bank, a police station, a post office, a ferry station (on the Great Sound, next to Watford Bridge), a library, a variety of stores, small hotels, bars, and restaurants, and a boat club. There is also a bus terminal because the community serves as a stop for several bus lines. A tiny beach is located west of the settlement, while another is within walking distance at adjacent (Somerset) Long Bay (there are two other Long Bays in Bermuda).
The community is conveniently located near the defunct Royal Naval Dockyard on Ireland Island (part of a previous naval facility that began at the opposite end of Watford Bridge), and it is connected to the City of Hamilton as well as the Dockyard by regular ferries. The Non-Mariners' Race, a funny non-race by purposefully unseaworthy floats, takes place in the village every summer.
St. David
St. David's is one of two big islands that make up Bermuda's St. George's Parish. The St. George's Island is the other. St. Davids, which has a land area of 650 acres, is located in the easternmost section of Bermuda and has been isolated for a long time.
It was eventually connected to the main island of Bermuda by the British Royal Engineers who built the Causeway that connected the two ends in 1877. The island was named after Saint David, Wales' patron saint. Between St David's Island and St George's Island, there are two water regions.
The first occupants of St. Davids were a diverse group of immigrants who arrived in the 17th century. There were many native American Indians who arrived here as slaves and resided here. There were also indentured (debt-bonded) laborers from England, as well as Africans from the West Indies and other areas. Because it is separated from the main island, St. Davids was originally a haven for lower-class destitute people.
Although the population of St Davids is now made up of a similar mix of immigrants as the rest of Bermuda, many residents still have strong ties to native Americans. Native Americans from Naragansett, Wampanoag, Mashantucket Pequots, Cherokee, and other tribes attend the biannual St Davids Island Indian Festival.

Outsourced human resource services could mean the difference between failure and success for your young company.
You're an entrepreneur — you're committed to learning and mastering the information you need to accomplish your goal. You're driven and focused. It can be hard to know when to call in an outside professional to handle a task, and in many cases, you are the best person for the job. But when it comes to human resources, this is probably not the case.
Your startup needs you. Your vision and direction is essential to drive growth. If you're wrapped up in payroll and benefits management, will your company continue to thrive? If you're spending hours researching compliant hiring practices, will you have the time to continue carrying out all or your other equally important duties?
Outsourced human resource services make sense for companies in all industries and of any size, but it especially makes sense for startups.
StartupGenom surveyed over 3,200 startups and found that 74 percent of startup failures can be attributed to the company scaling prematurely. Premature scaling means the company grew too quickly, before it was prepared to handle the effects, and as a result, it folded. This could happen, for example, if the company hired too many employees too quickly, or hired too many specialists before they were critically needed.
Your outsourced team will have their own system already in place to take care of your HR tasks, including all the software and equipment required to establish a working payroll and benefits system. You won't have to build your own system from scratch.
With outsourced human resources services, you'll save money that can be used to flesh out your benefits package. Since your outsourced team takes care of the hiring process as well, you'll have an expert on your side to help you identify the potential employees who will help your company grow.
Your startup might expand faster than you think. Once you hire workers in other locations — be it outside your state or country — you have to follow the payroll and tax laws that govern these areas. You can depend on your outsourced team to handle these complexities with ease.
When pesky, repetitive tasks like payroll become too much for you, outsourced professionals ease the burden. You can even outsource just one responsibility if you choose. Then you can get back to focusing on the tasks only you can handle. If you have in-house HR staff, they can focus on tasks that align with their strengths, and contribute to company growth.
Just keeping up with changing compliance regulations is a full-time job, and you're already working overtime. Make sure your startup is in line with the rules by trusting a competent professional to manage policy and procedure.
Outsourced human resource services could save your startup by enabling growth that leads to greater success, rather than causing your business to buckle. Trust WTA, Inc., for personalized, professional HR management — call today to learn more.

Adobe CQ5 AEM Interview Questions And Answers
Adobe CQ5 AEM Interview Questions
Adobe Communique 5 (Adobe CQ5), currently exhibited as Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is a web-based content management system developed to assist businesses to offer a high-end digital experience to their clients. Adobe Experience Manager allows organizations to build websites and manage content plus digital assets of the website. Adobe CQ5 not only enables organizations to create websites but also helps to digitally communicate with their clients through various mediums that include web browsers, mobiles, tabs, desktops, etc. Adobe AEM also assists businesses to drive sales by attracting consumer attention.
Categories of AEM Interview Questions
AEM Interview Questions for Experienced
Adobe CQ5 Interview Questions
Q1) What is AEM?
Ans: Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), is a java based content management system that is offered by Adobe. It is also known as Adobe CQ Content Management and was previously called Day CQ5, but was acquired from Adobe in 2010. AEM is based on a content repository and uses the JCR(Java Content Repository) to access the content in the repository. AEM uses the Apache Sling framework to map the request URL to the corresponding node in the content repository. It also uses the OSGi(Open Service Gateway Initiative) framework to internally allow modular application development.
Q2) What is CQ in Adobe CQ5 CMS?
Ans: CQ means Communique in Adobe CQ5 CMS.
Q3) What are the advantages of AEM CMS CQ5 over another CMS?
One big advantage of AEM CQ5 over another CMS(Content Management System) is how it integrates with other products from Adobe and with the Adobe Marketing Cloud. AEM comes built-in with features like workflows to control content in the CMS, the use of search queries to find anything you are looking for, setting up social collaboration, tagging content, and a way to manage your digital content.
AEM also includes a way to manage mobile applications, mobile websites, e-commerce, and marketing campaign management.
Q4) What is the technology stack that CQ5 is based on?
Ans: The CQ5 technology stack is based on three technologies. These technologies are Apache Sling, OSGI (Apache Felix), and the Java Content Repository (JCR). Apache Sling is a RESTful framework that is used to access a jcr over http protocol. It will then map that request url to the node in the jcr. OSGI is a framework that is used for modular application development using Java. Each module, which is called a bundle, can be stopped and started independently during runtime. The Java Content Repository uses the JSR-170 API to access the content repository by using Java independently of the physical implementation. CQ5 uses its own implementation of the jcr called CRX.
Q5) What is the role of the AEM Dispatcher?
Ans: The dispatcher is AEM's caching and/or load balancing tool. By using the dispatcher can also help protect your AEM server from attack since it will be using cached pages. The goal of the dispatcher is to cache as much content as possible, so it does not need to access the layout engine. Load balancing is the practice of distributing the computational load of the website across several instances of AEM. The benefits of using the dispatcher as a load balancing tool are so that you gain increased processing power since the dispatcher shares document requests between several instances of AEM, and to have increased fail-safe coverage. This is accomplished by if the dispatcher does not receive responses from an instance, it will automatically relay the request to another instance.
Q6) What is sightly?
Ans: Sightly is an HTML templating language that was introduced in AEM 6.0. It is meant to take the place of JSP files and is the preferred templating system for HTML. The name sightly means "pleasing to the eye", and its focus is to keep your markup beautiful and maintainable.
Q7) Why is a Content Management System (CMS) required?
Ans: A content management system is a piece of software that is used to create and manage documents and Web sites. Many websites are dynamic, so their content needs to be updated frequently. To manage these changes efficiently, it is recommended to use a content management system. There are many CMS providers available, of which Adobe Content Management System is one.
Q8) What is RESTful?
Ans: Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style and an approach to communications that is often used in the development of web services. It relies on a stateless, client-server, cacheable communications protocol. RESTful applications use HTTP requests to post data, read data, and delete data. The six architectural constraints of REST are uniform interface, stateless, cacheable, client-server, layered system, and code on demand.

Q9) What are the benefits of using OSGI?
Ans: The main benefits of using OSGI are:
It reduces the complexity of the system by having everything in bundles.
It makes the components loosely coupled and easy to manage since they can be installed, deleted, updated, started, and stopped at run time.
It increases the performance of the system since parts of the application that are not in use, do not need to be loaded in the memory.
Q10) What is the listener's property in AEM?
Ans: The listener's property in AEM for a component is used to define what happens before or after an action on the component. This is added by using the "cq: listeners" node with a node type of "cq: EditListenersConfig". The listener's property can also be added to any widget in AEM. To add a listener to that widget you just need to add to add a node that is called "listeners" with a type of "nt: unstructured". Then you just need to add child nodes to the "listeners" node that are events of that widget. You can find a list of events for each widget by searching CQ Widget API documentation.
Q11) How do you load digital assets in a dam?
Ans: You can add digital assets to your dam by using the graphical user interface or through WebDav access. If you are using the graphical user interface, you would just browse for the selected files you would like to add, and then cq will create the metadata for those assets in the dam folder. You would generally use the WebDav option when you want to upload a large number of assets at once.
Q12) How do you build a bundle through crxde?
Ans: You can build a bundle through crxde by navigating to the source folder of your project located under "apps". Once you do this, right-click on the "src" folder and choose to create a bundle. This will open the wizard that will walk you through creating your bundle. It is recommended that you no longer use crxde to create OSGI bundles for AEM. Instead, you should be using Maven.
Q13) What is the purpose of the Activator.java file?
Ans: The purpose of the Activator.java file is that it is to be notified any time there are bundle start and stop events for that bundle. The Activator.java file is an optional listener class that is created when you create a bundle through crxde.
Adobe CQ5 Tutorial
Q14) What is a CQ5 overlay/override component?
Ans: The overlay/override component is used when you want to use an out of the box component in AEM and you want to add extra features to it and you want to change it across all instances of that component. For example, if you want to add features to the out of the box "text" component, but you don't want to create a new component, you would want to copy the "text" component from "libs/foundation/components" to "apps/foundation/components" and keep the same folder structure that is used. When this is done, any changes that do to this new component will be reflected in the out-of-the-box "text" component, without changing the original code under "libs". It is generally not a good practice to modify the original code, which is why CQ offers the ability to use overlays.
Q15) What is the difference between a dialog and a design dialog?
Ans: A dialog is a key element of the component because they provide an interface for authors to configure and provide input to that component. This input will be stored at the page level in the jcr. A design dialog is a dialog that will only display when you are in design mode in AEM. The input that is received here will be stored at the template level and will be accessed across the whole site.
Q16) What is extending a component?
Ans: Extending a component is when you want to create a new component that will not override a base component but will have the same features as the original so that you can change or build upon that component. To extend a component, you must set "sling:resourceSuperType" of the component to the base component you would like to extend. By doing this, you will inherit everything from the base component.
Q17) How does sightly differ from other templating systems?
Ans: Sightly differs from other templating systems in three ways. Sightly is secure by default, it offers separation of concerns, and sightly is HTML5 because it is a valid HTML5 file. Sightly is secure by default because it automatically filters and escapes all variables being output to the presentation layer to prevent cross-site-scripting vulnerabilities. Sightly offers separation of concern because it is purposely limited to ensure that a real programming language is used to express the corresponding logic. This is done through the Use-API pattern.
Q18) Can you create a page without a template?
Ans: Pages are usually created by selecting a template for the page when you create them in the Website console. However, a page can be created manually in the crxde by using the same properties that are created when you make a page in the Website console. For example, in crxde under the content folder, create a node with the following type "cq: Page" and save it. Then add a child node with the following type "cq: PageContent". Then you can add the required properties to show any components you want to be displayed on the page. It is generally not a good practice to create pages manually.
Q19) What are xtypes and how are they useful in AEM?
Ans: In the ExtJS language, an xtype is a symbolic name given to a class. In AEM these xtypes are widgets that are used in the creation of components. AEM comes with a bunch of widgets that are available out of the box. You can also create and define your own xtype to be used in AEM. An example of a xytpe is when you are creating your dialog for your component, and you want the author to be able to enter text, you would add a "cq: Widget" that has an xtype property of "text field".
Q20) How do you add properties to the Page Properties dialog?
Ans: You can add properties to your page properties dialog by copying the dialog located under "libs/foundation/components/page/dialog" and adding it to your page template. This will allow you to add new tabs and add new properties that you would like the author to chooses from for pages that use that template. You could modify the original page dialog as well to get the same result, however, it is not recommended.
Q21) What is the difference between the Author and Publish environment?
Ans: A production environment usually has two different instances of AEM running. One is the author's instance, and the other is the publish instance. These two instances are usually kept in two different settings. The author's instance is where you will enter and manage content for your website. This is where you will administer your site as well. The author's environment is usually kept behind a firewall. The publish instance is where you will make your content available for your targeted audience. The publish environment is usually kept in a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Q22) What is a replication agent?
Ans: A replication agent is used to publish active content from the author's environment to the publish environment, to flush content from the dispatcher cache, and return user input from the publish environment to the author's environment. The replication agents are central to AEM.
Q23) What is resource mapping?
Ans: Resource mapping is used to define redirects, vanity URLs, and virtual hosts for AEM. You can use resource mapping to prefix all requests with "/content" so the internal structure of the AEM site is hidden from your visitors. You can also use resource mapping to define a redirect so that all requests to the gateway page of your site are redirected to another site.
Q24) What is resource resolution in Sling?
Ans: Resource resolution in Sling is how Sling takes a URL and attempts to resolve it to a script. This is done by extracting information from the URL. Here is an example URL:
http://myhost/tools/spy.printable.a4.html/a/b?x=12
It can be broken down as follows:
Protocol Host Content path Selector(s) Extension Suffix Param(s)
Param(s) myhost tools/spy .printable.a4. html / a/b ? x=12
Sling uses the content path that is extracted from the request to locate the resource in the JCR. When this resource is located, the sling resource type is extracted, and then it is used to locate the script to be used for rendering that content.
Q25) What design patterns are used in AEM?
Ans: Since AEM is built using OSGI, many of the design patterns for OSGI are valid. Some of these design patterns are Singleton (Service), Adapter Service, Resource Adapter Service, and Whiteboard. Also, since AEM is modular, you should be able to use any design pattern in your application.
Q26) What is reverse replication?
Ans: Reverse replication is the process of replicating content from the publish environment to the author's environment. To accomplish this, you need a reverse replication agent on your author instance that is configured to get content from the publish environment outbox.
Q27) What is the role of AEM Architects?
Ans: AEM Architect will be part of a team that is responsible for evolving a world-class Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) implementation.
Q28) What is cq5?
Ans: Adobe Communique 5, or CQ5, is a java based large-scale web content management system. It connects web content management, digital asset management, plus social collaboration to produce a solution that permits managing unbelievable amounts of data, various internal and external websites, a myriad of media assets, and also detailed workflow.
Q29) Explain the cq5 technology stack?
JCR: java specification for accessing a content repository, cq5 utilizes its own implementation of JCR called CRX.
Apache Sling: RESTful framework to obtain a JCR over http protocol. It will map the request URL to the node within JCR.
OSGi: a framework for modular application development utilizing java. Each module described bundle can be individually started and stopped.
Q30) Explain about a content repository?
Ans: A content repository means a storage unit including an associated search plus access methods supporting application-independent access to the content, the capacity to store and modify content in addition to retrieving and searching. A content repository therefore typically forms the technical underpinning of a content application, same as a Content Management System or else as a Document Management System. It works as the logical storage facility for content.
Q31) Why a content management system used in CQ?
Ans: Nowadays, websites are incredibly dynamic. Content requires to be updated very often. So, it is simpler to manage the content of such websites utilizing a CMS.
Q32) Explain about a component?
Ans: Components are reusable modules that implement application logic to provide the content of your web site. You can imagine a component as a set of scripts (for instance, JSPs, Java servlets, etc.).
Q33) How can we define the behavior of a component?
Ans: We can define the behaviour of a component by using EditConfig.

Q34) What is Dialog?
Ans: The dialog of a component is present at the page level, so every component instance will hold its own dialogue, and data entered in the dialogue will be saved under /content folder.
Q35) What is Design Dialog?
Ans: Design Dialog of a component can be seen or edited within the design mode of that page. Design dialogue is present at the template level so all the pages of the template will share the identical design dialogue.
Q36) What are the rules of the David Model?
Rule 1: Data First, Structure Later.
Rule 2: Drive the content hierarchy; do not let it happen.
Rule 3: Workspaces are for clone(), merge() and update().
Rule 4: Beware of Identical Name Siblings.
Rule 5: References considered dangerous.
Rule 6: Files are Files are Files.
Rule 7: IDs are evil.
Q37) Where do we store the dialog and design dialog?
Design dialog data is stored under /etc/designs folder.
Dialog data is stored under the/content folder.
Q38) Explain about Adaptive Form?
Ans: Adaptive forms are utilized to break down a form within logical sections; primarily, it enables end-users to concentrate on filling out the form. When we need to take input from the user, we use the Adaptive Form.
Q39) Explain the site page?
Ans: A site is essentially a website, where we can place an Adaptive Document, Adaptive Form, or a static text.
Q40) Explain about a Template?
Ans: A template is the basis of a page. A template is utilized to build a page and determines which components can be utilized in the selected scope. A template is a hierarchy of nodes that has the same structure as the page to be built but without any original content.
Q41) How to resolve a resource?
Ans: You can resolve a resource by utilizing ResourceResolver which you can get from method getResourceResolver() and later apply the resolve() method to resolve a resource.
Q42) Explain clustering in cq5?
Ans: A cluster is a group of computers connected to work, in some esteem, as a single computer. Every Cq5 CRX instance comes pre-configured to run a cluster, even when running a single instance. This design characteristic enables the configuration of multi-node clusters with limited effort.
Q43) Explain about the author?
Ans: An author within CQ generates the material which will, at some point, be published to your website. Depending on how your instance plus your personal access rights are configured you can accomplish many tasks, including amongst others
Edit existing content
Generate new content
Deactivate or activate pages
Copy, move or delete pages
Q44) How to adapt a resource?
Ans: You can adapt a resource to any other type utilizing the adaptTo() method, which accepts the class type within which you need to adapt your resource.
Q45) Explain about the package?
Ans: A Package is a zip file that includes the content within the form of a file-system serialization which displays the content from the repository as an easy-to-use-and-edit description of files and folders. Packages can incorporate content plus project-related data.
Q46) Explain the bundle?
Ans: The bundle is a tightly coupled, dynamically loadable set of classes, jars, and configuration files that explicitly state their external dependencies if any.
Q47) Explain about parsys and iparsys?
Parsys: It is a placeholder named "Paragraph System", where we can drag, drop, or add other components or scripts at a page level.
iparsys: It is an inherited paragraph system, it is the same as parsys besides that it permits to inherit the parent page "paragraph system".

Use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is rapidly increasing among smokers as an alternative to conventional tobacco cigarettes (CC). As e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco and do not require combustion, the mechanism of aerosol generation within an e-cigarette and CC is fundamentally different. There is little data available on the properties of exhaled e-cigarette aerosols in the scientific literature and as a result there is a growing discussion amongst the public health community as to whether the "particles" exhaled following use of such products has potential implications for indoor air quality. This study aimed to investigate the aerosol properties within a room during use of e-cigarettes and smoking of CC.
A room-simulating chamber with controllable ventilation rates was used with a bystander simulated using a heated mannequin. Human volunteers vaped an e-cigarette or smoked a CC according to a set puffing regime (i.e. 1 puff every 30 seconds; total 5 puffs). Aerosol particle samples were analysed using a Fast Mobility Particle Sizer (FMPS) spectrometer, Electrical Low Pressure Impactor (ELPI), and Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) at the bystander's position. The influence of several parameters was tested during this study: product type, room ventilation rate, and the distance between the volunteer and the bystander mannequin.
Our results suggest that particles exhaled following use of e-cigarettes are liquid droplets mainly composed of water. These particles evaporated very fast and disappeared within 10-15 seconds after the puff and were independent of the ventilation rate. By contrast, combustion particles emitted during smoking of CC were much more stable than those exhaled during e-cigarette use (30-45 minutes), and were dependent upon the ventilation rate. This study shows the clear and substantial differences between exhaled e-cigarette liquid droplets and CC smoke particles and should have a positive implication for continued use of e-cigarettes in indoor areas.

Q: Redirect raw .gif files to handler page via .htacces - my code doesn't work I have a viral image site where people can view funny gifs. A lot of people on reddit are sharing the raw .gif files however, rather than the page with .gif embedded. This is fine - but I'd like to redirect all people viewing raw image .gifs to a handler page called shareraw.php (located in root directory). This handler page will look exactly the same - just with a share link and button to check out the rest of the site.
Example of raw image location: http://gifsec.com/wp-content/uploads/GIF/2015/03/Scared-Reaction-Gif.gif
Share page location:  http://gifsec.com/shareraw.php
Here is my code currently which is not working. When I go to a raw gif, nothing happens:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

ExpiresDefault "access 1 month"
</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING ##

A: Ok, we redirect the gif to the dedicated page. How will that page render the gif? Again, using gif file? loop begins.
You can achieve it using combination of PHP with htaccess but you will have to change image display at all location. (though not foolproof)
Depending on the site size, efforts can be estimated.

MTN agrees to sell shares, as it secures 12-year license extension
What to expect as BoU takes control of Telecos?
UCC names committee of experts to choose film projects for funding
Juliana 'divorces' MTN over disconnected phone line
Henry Lutaaya
MTN CEO Wim Vanhellpute shakes hands with UCC Acting ED Irene Kaggwa Sewankambo after the signing of the License extension at UCC Headquarters in Bugoloobi on July 10, 2020
MTN Uganda has been granted a 12-year operation license extension following protracted negotiations with the government, the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has announced.
As one of the conditions for the new license, MTN has accepted to sell some of its shares to Ugandans through the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE).
Wim Vanhellpute, the MTN Uganda Chief Executive Officer (CEO) said during a brief ceremony held at UCC offices in Bugoloobi in Kampala recently that: "We believe this is an opportunity to enhance our relationship with our customers who will also now be able to become owners in this venture," he said, adding that this will come to pass within the next 24 months.
Vanhellpute said MTN has already paid USD100m for the new license.
UCC's Acting Executive Director Irene Kaggwa Sewankambo congratulated MTN on the "momentous occasion" while the MTN Uganda CEO Wim Vanhellpute pledged "to deliver a new digital life to everyone, everywhere."
MTN Uganda was first granted a Second National Operator License for the provision of telecommunications services on 20th October 1998 for a period of 20 years.
The telecom's license, having expired in October 2018, was followed by protracted negotiations involving the Central Government, UCC and MTN Uganda, culminating in this breakthrough.
In a statement published on its website, UCC says that after a thorough assessment of MTN's performance over the past 20 years of its license period, it was satisfied that the company had fulfilled most of its obligations and therefore eligible for license renewal.
"Having conducted a performance assessment of MTN Uganda operations over the last 20 years, the Commission came to the conclusion that MTN Uganda had substantially complied with its financial and legal obligations, as well as most of the technical obligations.
Noting that this was the first license under the new licensing framework, UCC Kaggwa Sewankambo congratulated MTN and the Government of Uganda on this milestone and expressed readiness to continue to work with the telecom operator to modernise the communications sector and to provide quality and affordable services to the people of Uganda.
MTN CEO Vanhellpute expressed gratitude to President Museveni, the Government and the Commission for the engaging discussions that led to the license extension.
"We've fulfilled our obligations," he triumphantly declared.
However, Vanhellpute acknowledged that although MTN Uganda has a presence in all the 135 districts of Uganda currently, there is much more to do on the technical side to make the slogan "Everywhere you go" a "scientific reality."
Below is a summary of terms and conditions, as released by UCC.
The licensee shall ensure that its network extends to, and services are available in at least 90% of the geographical boundary of Uganda within five (5) years from the effective date of the license.
The licensee shall not deny access for licensed services to any subscriber except for non-payment of fees or any other just cause.
The Licensee shall ensure that its services meet the Licensor's Quality of Service standards and other standards as the Licensor shall determine from time to time.
The Licensee shall comply with all the Laws, Regulations, Guidelines and Standards Issued by the Government of Uganda on health, safety and environment protection.
The Licensee shall provide services adaptable to persons with disabilities across its network.
The Licensee shall ensure that its equipment, facilities, or systems do not damage, interfere or in any way harm the installations, facilities or operations of other Licensees.
The Licensee shall ensure and maintain the confidentiality of all communications that it may obtain in the course of providing a service to a customer or interconnecting to a public network or in the execution of its business.
The Licensee shall interconnect its system(s) with national, public or private telecommunication systems or other licensed operators to deliver locally originated traffic through interconnection agreements, which shall be approved by the Licensor.
The Licensee shall provide national roaming services to requesting telecommunications service providers on terms and services as shall be agreed upon by the parties.
The Licensee shall share its infrastructure with other requesting licensees in designated areas as provided by the Act, Regulations, Government policies, guidelines and directives.
The Licensee shall comply with the sector policy, regulations and guidelines requiring the listing of a portion of its shares on the Uganda Securities Exchange.
The Licensee shall comply with the Act, the Regulations made under the Act, standards, directives, guidelines issued by the Licensor in the public interest, including but not limited to, national development, consumer protection, environment protection, disaster relief services, and security of persons and infrastructure.
Under the terms of the license, the Licensee is authorised, non-exclusively, to establish, install, operate, maintain lease, and sale telecommunications systems and to provide telecommunication services and make available network infrastructure systems to other licensed operators and authorised persons in Uganda.

85% of consumers research online before purchasing offline and as the two worlds converge, it's inevitable that mobile will play a part in bridging the gap between them.
Some publishers certainly agree and the development of their high street based apps throw further weight behind such a notion as do the download figures for the leading incentive site's apps.
With a combined total number of downloads exceeding nine million (Vouchercloud tops 4.3 million, Vouchercodes.co.uk has three million and quidco boasts 1 million along with TopCashBack) it's clear there's an appetite from would-be customers.
It does beg the question though; with the obvious consumer interest and the heavy technological investment from publishers, can the advertisers keep up? To put it simply; they have to!
The most successful apps give you a reason to load them up on a regular basis; whether it is those elusive three stars on Angry Birds, the impending opportunity to beat your mates on QuizUp or seeking inspiration for a night out from Yplan – all of them have an almost addictive nature to them, and in order to maintain consumer interest in their apps, publishers do have a big challenge in keeping their content fresh and interesting.
They are seemingly at the mercy of their advertisers and the freshness of offers/content that they make available.
Advertisers themselves are in a difficult situation as the breadth of solutions available to track in-store can be overwhelming and everyone seems to be doing it differently.
The mixture of barcode scanners (such as Eagle Eye Solutions), promotional buttons on tills and card linking (such as Birdback, Reward and Plan B) can be intimidating and no single solution offers the breadth of publishers that currently exists online (at least for the time being).
App developers who favour a less commercial and more innovative approach have a place in the app ecosystem too. Nokia City Lens is a good example; overlaying shops, restaurants and bars to your surroundings to give you a genuinely cool augmented reality whilst Red Laser's barcode scanner encourages customers to roam the shops and then get the best price online for what they want to buy.
It is clear that without monetisation options, the maintenance of apps is difficult longer term and it could see the emergence of more varied payment models.
Not long ago, quidco operated a pay per check-in service from their app, the scanning of receipt options offered by both the leading cashback sites show that the shift in payment model is already well underway.
The potential that sits behind all high street apps is diverse and powerful. The geo-targeting when customers are near a particular store represents a whole new level of never seen before micro marketing whilst the targeting based on handset or operator could kick off some aggressive marketing in the telco sector.
It would be fair to say that high street apps do have a place in the performance marketing mix but they are currently limited by the number of advertisers able to provide offers, content and monetisation. Any advertiser reading this that's not technically capable should be aware, you're already losing ground!

Werner Weisenburger (* 18. September 1954) ist ein Generalmajor a. D. der Bundeswehr. Er war bis zum 31. Dezember 2017 Amtschef des Streitkräfteamtes.

Leben
Seine Dienstzeit bei der Bundeswehr begann 1973 beim Panzerartilleriebataillon 305 in Donauwörth. Später war er u. a. Chef des Stabes der Deutsch-Französischen Brigade und der letzte Kommandeur der Panzergrenadierbrigade 7 (bis 2004). In den Jahren 2006 bis 2009 war er Stellvertreter des Amtschefs Streitkräfteamt (SKA) unter Thomas Wollny. Als solcher war er ab April 2006 auch Kommandeur Bundeswehrschulen und General streitkräftegemeinsame Ausbildung. Von 2009 bis 2013 war Weisenburger Verteidigungs- und Heeresattaché an der Botschaft Paris. Im September 2013 wurde er Amtschef des Streitkräfteamtes. Der Übergabeappell an seinen Nachfolger, Brigadegeneral Franz Weidhüner, fand statt am 14. Dezember 2017.

Skandal Franco A.
Als Amtschef SKA war Weisenburger Vorgesetzter des Oberleutnants Franco A., der 2013 an der Militärakademie Saint-Cyr eine Masterarbeit mit völkisch-nationalistischen, rassistischen und antisemitischen Passagen vorgelegt hatte. Im Rahmen der disziplinären Würdigung hatte Weisenburger von einer Disziplinarmaßnahme abgesehen und Franco A. lediglich schriftlich belehrt. Dies wurde durch die Terrorermittlungen gegen Bundeswehrsoldaten ab 2017 bekannt. Daraufhin ließ die Verteidigungsministerin Ursula von der Leyen ein Disziplinarverfahren gegen Weisenburger einleiten. Das förmliche Disziplinarverfahren wurde am 16. Mai 2017 wegen des Verdachts einer Dienstpflichtverletzung gegen ihn und den Rechtsberater des SKA, Stephan Hedrich eingeleitet.  Zur Generalstagung im Mai 2017 in Berlin war er als Amtschef des SKA zunächst eingeladen, wurde jedoch kurz vor dem Beginn ohne Angabe von Gründen wieder ausgeladen.

Rehabilitierung
Unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit erhielt Weisenburger am 30. Dezember 2017 per Einschreiben die Mitteilung, dass die Ermittlungen gegen ihn eingestellt wurden. Generalinspekteur Volker Wieker teilte ihm ferner mit: Eine schuldhafte Verletzung dienstlicher Pflichten konnte nicht festgestellt werden. Auch Stephan Hedrich wurde rehabilitiert.

Police launch probe into leak of ambassador's diplomatic cables
Scotland Yard has launched a criminal investigation into the leak of diplomatic dispatches sent by Britain's US ambassador Sir Kim Darroch.
The inquiry will be carried out by the Metropolitan Police counter terrorism command which is responsible for investigating breaches of the Official Secrets Act.
Assistant commissioner Neil Basu said: "Given the widely reported consequences of that leak I am satisfied that there has been damage caused to UK international relations, and there would be clear public interest in bringing the person or people responsible to justice.
Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said the Met counter terrorism command will investigate the leak (Dominic Lipinski/PA)
"The investigation will be reviewed at every stage to ensure a proportionate investigation is undertaken."
Mr Basu also issued a warning to the media that any further publication of the ambassador's cables could be a criminal offence.
Sir Kim announced on Wednesday he was resigning, saying his position had become "impossible" following the leak of his dispatches in which he described Donald Trump's White House as "inept" and "dysfunctional".
His comments drew a furious response from the president who denounced him as a "very stupid guy" and a "pompous fool" and said the the White House would no longer deal with him.

Mr Basu said the Met had been brought in following a cross-government investigation led by the Cabinet Office into the leak of the cables to The Mail on Sunday.
In a statement, he urged whoever was responsible to turn themselves in and face the consequences of their actions.
"I would say to the person or people who did this, the impact of what you have done is obvious. However, you are now also responsible for diverting busy detectives from undertaking their core mission.
"You can stop this now. Turn yourself in at the earliest opportunity, explain yourself and face the consequences."
In an unusual move, Mr Basu also warned owners, editors and publishers of social and mainstream media not to publish leaked government documents, and to return any in their possession to their rightful owners.
"The publication of leaked communications, knowing the damage they have caused or are likely to cause may also be a criminal matter," he said.
Donald Trump said he wishes Sir Kim well (Andrew Harnik/AP/PA)
In the Commons on Thursday, Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan said an internal Whitehall inquiry had found no evidence the leak was the result of computer hacking.
Instead he told MPs the focus was on finding "someone within the system who has released illicitly these communications".
Meanwhile, Mr Trump has suggested he was too quick to denounce Sir Kim following the leak.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Mr Trump said he had since been told Sir Kim had said "some very good things" about him.
"I wish the British ambassador well. Some people just told me – too bad – they said he actually said some very good things about me," he said.
"I wish the British ambassador well but they have got to stop their leaking problems there just like they have to stop them in our country."

Home / Engagement / Transforming Lives
Transforming Lives, Transforming the World
Writing about nonprofit organizations, including churches, the famous management theorist Peter Drucker said, "The nonprofit organization exists to bring about a change in individuals and in society." What is the change your church seeks to bring about? What difference does your congregation intend to make? In whose lives and to what end? Answers to these questions bring clarity to your mission.
How did your life change when you became a part of this church? That's a helpful question to ask of people when working with a congregation. Their answers are always insightful and at times you may be moved to tears of joy. Transformation is the language of spiritual engagement. It expresses in ways of resurrection, rebirth, restoration, reconciliation, and renewal. It's the new thing that God is doing.
The central premise of this site is that ministry excellence nurtures the engagement of congregants in spiritual practices that transform lives; theirs and others. Congregational engagement has been described as more than increased involvement in a church; it is an increased sense of belonging. Psychologist Brene' Brown describes engagement as wholeheartedness; it's about being all in. Ultimately, congregational engagement is individual ownership of the church's mission.
Each congregation must clarify its own mission and determine its own approach to congregational engagement. Here is a framework around three categories of spiritual practices that can support such a journey: Welcome Home – Practices of Generous Hospitality; Growing in Faith – Practices of Spiritual Growth; and Leading with Love – Practices of Servant Leadership.

Sofía Margarita Vergara (* 10. července 1972 Barranquilla, Atlántico*) je kolumbijsko-americká herečka, komička, televizní moderátorka a modelka.

Na konci devadesátých let se zapsala do širokého povědomí diváků, když spolu moderovala dva televizní pořady pro španělský televizní kanál v USA s názvem Univisión. Její první známější film, ve kterém se objevila a kde si ji diváci pamatovali, byl film z roku 2003 s názvem[Všechny chtějí Papiho]]

Následně se začala objevovat ve filmech, včetně dvou filmů od Tylera Perryho, Meet the Browns (2008) a Madea Goes to Jail (2009), za který získala podruhé nominaci na cenu ALMA. Její úspěch v televizi ji přinesl filmové role ve filmech Šmoulové (2011), Šťastný Nový rok (2011), Happy Feet 2 (2011) a Tři moulové (2012)....

V současné době má jednu z hlavních rolí v úspěšném seriálu Taková moderní rodinka, kde hraje roli Glorie Delgado-Pritchett. Za svou roli byla čtyřikrát nominována na Zlatý glóbus, čtyřikrát na cenu Emmy a sedmkrát na Screen Actors Guild Awards v kategorii nejlepší komediální herečka. Touto rolí se dostala do povědomí diváků na celém světě.

Životopis
Narodila se ve městě Barranquilla v Kolumbii. Její matka Margarita Vergara Dávila de Vergara je žena v domácnosti a její otec Julio Enrique Vergara Robayo produkoval dobytek pro masný průmysl. "Toti" je přezdívka, kterou Sofíe dalo jejich pět sourozenců a mnoho bratranců a sestřenic. Vyrůstala ve svém rodném městě Barranquilla, byla vychovávána jako katolička ve zbožné a dobře situované rodině a navštěvovala soukromou bilingvní španělsko-anglickou školu.

Poté, co se rozvedla, začala po tři roky studovat stomatologii na univerzitě v Kolumbii. Poté ji mnoho příležitostí dovedlo k práci v modelingu a showbyznysu a dva semestry před absolvováním se rozhodla školu opustit. Brzy se rozhodla přestěhovat se do Miami na Floridě a využila tak příležitosti, aby se vyhnula nepokojům v Kolumbii (její bratr byl v roce 1998 zavražděn, když se ho pokoušeli unést). Spolu s ní do Spojených států cestoval její syn, matka a sestra. Její sestra Sandra je nyní filmová a televizní herečka v Americe.

Kariéra
Vergaru objevil fotograf, když se procházela na kolumbijské pláži. Brzy získala nabídky na práci v televizi a modelingu a ona je schválila i přesto, že byla zvýšeně konzervativně a nábožensky vychovávána. Podle článku z roku 2002 uveřejněném v časopise Maxim byla Vergara "vystrašená při dělání její první televizní reklamy dokud ji její katoličtí učitelé ze školy nedali osobní povolení, aby mohla podepsat smlouvu." Poprvé se objevila ve svých sedmnácti letech v reklamě na Pepsi, která byla široce vysílána v Latinské Americe.

Ve dvaceti letech se přestěhovala do Bogoty, kde pracovala v televizi a jako modelka. V letech 1995 až 1998 uváděla společně s Fernandem Fioreonem Fuera de serie, cestovatelský pořad, který ji poslal do různých exotických míst po celém světě. Pořad se vysílal na mezinárodním španělsky mluvícím televizním kanále Univisión, což z ní udělalo hvězdu latinskoamerického trhu. Pořad jí dal také příležitost navštívit Spojené státy, kde se nachází stanice Univisión. Spolu uváděla další pořad nazvaný A que no te atreves. Hostovala v prvním díle čtvrté série seriálu HBO s názvem Vincentův svět.

Mimo přehlídková mola a focení do modelingových katalogů také dělala nezávislé projekty. V letech 1998, 2000 a 2002 byla fotografována na plakáty a kalendáře plavek.

Vergara je 170 centimetrů (5 stop a 7 palců) vysoká a přirozeně má blonďaté vlasy (pro filmy a televizní pořady je někdy požádána, aby si je obarvila na hnědo, aby vypadala jako typická latinoameričanka). Po několik let byla pod smlouvou od Univision a po vypršení smlouvy přijala role ve vysílání amerického televizního kanálu ABC, kde se objevila v seriálech Hot Properties a Zastánci blahobytu. V současné době hraje v sitcomu televize ABC s názvem Taková moderní rodinka jako Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, za což byla nominovaná v letech 2010 a 2011 na cenu Emmy v kategorii nejlepší herečka ve vedlejší roli v komedii, dále získala například dvě nominace na Zlatý glóbus a tři nominace na Screen Actors Guild Award.

Hrála roli Alicie Oviedo v televizním seriálu Amas de Casa Desesperadas, kolumbijské verzi seriálu Zoufalé manželky. Její postava je v podstatě kolumbijský protějšek Mary Alice Young z amerického originálu. Také se objevila v dramatickém seriálu Dirty Sexy Money, jako milenka Jeremyho Darlinga. Hostovala v mexické telenovele Fuego En La Sangre.

V roce 2009 se po pět týdnů objevovala v roli "Mámy" Morton v broadwayském revivalu muzikálu Chicago.

V roce 2011 se měla objevit ve filmu The Paperboy, nezávislém dramatu režiséra Lee Danielse. Kvůli zpoždění bylo ale natáčení posunuto o týden (což bylo ve stejnou dobu jako natáčení třetí sérii Takové moderní rodinky), takže byla donucena od role ustoupit.

V červenci 2011 skončilo natáčení filmu Tři moulové, kde má svou první hlavní roli ve filmu. O své roli řekla: "Hraji lakomou ženu, která se snaží manipulovat s Three Stooges, když zabije svého manžela a tak dostane všechny peníze."

V roce 2017 získala cenu People's Choice Awards v kategorii nejoblíbenější televizní herečka (komedie).

Účast v reklamách
V roce 2011 byla jmenována novou tváří americké kosmetické značky CoverGirl. Je to její první kampaň pro kosmetickou společnost. Reklamy se začaly objevovat od ledna 2012.

V dubnu 2011 se poprvé objevila společně s Davidem Beckhamem v reklamách na Pepsi light. Marketingový ředitel Pepsi light v dubnu 2011 řekl, že Vergara s Pepsi podepsala smlouvu, ale že ještě není známo, kdy se budou reklamy vysílat.

V září 2011 bylo oznámeno, že Vergara navrhuje kolekci dámského oblečení pro americkou oděvní společnost K-Mart.

Také v roce 2011 se objevila v řadě reklam pro internetové připojení Xfinity od americké společnosti Comcast.

Osobní život
Vergara se vdala ve svých osmnácti letech za svou školní lásku. Dne 16. září 1992 porodila syna, kterému dala jméno Manolo Gonzalez-Ripoll Vergara.

V roce 1998 byl její starší bratr Rafael zavražděn v ulicích Bogoty v Kolumbii. Dne 9. května 2011 byl její mladší bratr Julio deportován zpět do Kolumbie, poté co byl v dubnu zadržen; měl dlouhodobou závislost na drogách a problémy se zákonem. Vergara v rozhovoru pro magazín Parade řekla: " Vidět někoho po malých částech umírat více než deset let je ten největší trest. Teď je jako úplně jiná osoba".

V roce 2000 ji byla diagnostikována rakovina štítné žlázy. Podle doporučení svých lékařů prodělala léčbu (operace, ozáření) a plně se uzdravila.

9. června 2011 se zasnoubila se svým přítelem Nickem Leobem. 23. května 2014 pár své zásnuby odvolal.

V červenci 2014 začala chodit s hercem Joem Manganiellem. Dvojice se zasnoubila o Vánocích téhož roku. V listopadu 2015 si Manganiella vzala.

V prosinci 2014 v pořadu Jimmy Kimmel Live! prozradila, že se stala americkou občankou poté, co zvládla přijímací test na plný počet bodů.

V roce 2015 magazín Forbes odhadl její roční příjem na 28,5 milionů amerických dolarů. V září 2016 Forbes napsal, že Vergara je nejlépe placenou televizní herečkou, když si v předchozím roce vydělala 43 milionů dolarů.

William Woollett
William Woollett, the most celebrated English carver of his day, has a memorial in the west cloister of Westminster Abbey. It shows his marble bust with a relief of his studio below showing the engraver attended by symbolic figures. The sculptor was Thomas Banks. The inscription reads:
William Woollett. Born August XXII MDCCXXXV. Died May XXII MDCCLXXXV. Incisor Excellentissimus
He was the eldest son of Philip Woollett (died 1784) and his wife Ann (Hinkley). He was born at Maidstone in Kent on 22nd August 1735 according to his monument but other sources give 15th August. He was an apprentice to an engraver in the Goldsmiths' Company in London and later built up his reputation as a draughtsman and engraver of stately homes and castles. His first wife was Hannah (surname not known) but their children died in infancy. His second wife was Elizabeth (surname possibly Weston) and only their children Elizabeth, Anne and George survived their father. He was Director of the Society of Artists and his engraving of Benjamin West's portrait "The Death of General Wolfe" so impressed George III that he made him "Historical Engraver to His Majesty". He died on 22nd May 1785 and is buried in Old St Pancras churchyard in London.

The group of Queen Astra and Roland back in Nantucket?
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 15463
Meanwhile, a short conversation between the Doctor's group (who'd left Terra Prime back in 1501 AD, Terra Prime calender) and Queen Astra's group is rather short. Before the Queen can intercede, a quick exchange of names happens between the two groups of Champions. See, she'd already guessed that this group was from her past (the Doctor and the others had been rather vague about the events surrounding their adventure with Xoanon in the Dr. What universe).
Frankly, the problem here was that if too much information was exchanged here that could have changed her past.....something else besides a change in the past would have happened. See, when a certain President of the Time Lords attempted something similar with Doctor Who by using the Time Scoop (Scooping wasn't good for a Time Lord's past stability....it was in effect meddling with a Champion's past).....the result was that....parallel versions of the Doctor got Scooped instead. Queen Astra had a feeling that if something similar happened here, that the events leading up to the...er....alteration would get bollixed up royally. Why borrow trouble by meddling in the past?
The Council turns back from watching the ship leave....only to find that "Queen Astra's" group have slipped off somewhere out of sight!
Having shed notice by the Nantucketers, Queen Astra and friends rush off to their next place of travel. Only to have an interesting encounter with a group of would be conspirators against Nantucket!!
It begins thusly....
William Walker was rather concerned with recent events. He had a very sick feeling in his stomach that the stranger who'd interrupted the town meeting in that most strange manner was onto him! If anything, that look of anger Lisketter gave him after that meddling asshole, Frank Marn, leaned over and told her something. Frankly, Walker knew that heading for the hills would perhaps be the best bet, but....frankly, there really wasn't anyplace to run right now! If all had gone according to plans he'd have set Lisketter up as patsy and diversion as his group sailed off to England to join with the Sun Folk and set up his own little empire. Things had gotten knocked askew and he knew it! Thus, while he wasn't showing it, he was desperate for a way out!
Grasping at straws, he and the small group of conspirators met with a local who'd kept hinting coyly about something important and big. Walker had met this man in passing and dismissed him as being nothing more than a fool and "wannabe". Another reason for not approaching this guy was that "Harry" was part of the police force! Not a high ranking part, but a part of "the law" all the same. However, now, Walker is wondering if he'd been missing a beet here, not having approached Harry Smith earlier!
"You....actually caused the explosion in the warehouse where most the guns were kept?" Walker asked weakly. "I thought that....."
"Mr. Walker," Harry laughed softly, "While perhaps the Town Council having everyone give up their guns during the start of things after the Event, what with everyone on razor edge and some falling over the edge and going on a shooting spree had seemed like a good idea, being negated by putting all that ammo and hardware together.....just an accident waiting to happen.....doesn't necessarily mean that the 'accident' was an accident.
"A little arson during the right time....during the time when that nutty priest tried to have his followers burn the town down?" Smith shrugged, smiling. "I was in a perfect position to know that those nuts had been under watch for just such a thing. The others may not like me, but they did trust me....and discounted me."
(Author's Note: Smith is referring to events that happened in the book Island in the Sea of Time, but as you may have already guessed.....things here are departing radically from that fine novel!)
"And....what now?" Walker said. "Okay, you got rid of most of the......"
Smith breaks into a laugh, interrupting.
"Sorry." he says, waving a hand. "I just guess that you thought that I was like those other fools. May I?" Smith makes a gesture and one of his flunkies comes forth and places an AK-47 (!) with 3 ammo clips on the table before the stunned Walker and his cronies. That and what appeared to be a map with bunch of red marks on them!
"More where that comes from gentlemen," Smith purrs, "much more, buried in safe spots over on the far side of this island. Old trick I learned from an NRA extremist, bury your hardware and bullets in sealed, watertight compartments to hide 'em from those annoying Feds. Lots of ammo and guns. Oh, did I mention that I belonged to a Militia?"
Walker suddenly had visions of Smith's appearing stupid and complacent with his lot in life was a facade hiding a much more ambitious and......wickedly intelligent person within. More intelligent and ambitious than what even Walker could have seen (and he wasn't a slouch at that stuff, mind you!)
"Okay, cards on table, what do you want?" Walker says, trying to keep a gleam of greed out of his voice. He already knew, but.....
"In! I want in." Smith says fiercely. "I was hurt at being looked over, Walker. Hurt terribly. I want to help you take over the island. Hell, I'm even doing the rest of the island a favor! God knows what is going to come down the damn pike next, something less....benign than the lights turning back on? We've got to get organized and get armed and defended.....with the.....right leaders in charge of those with the guns, natch. Just consider all this before you as a sign of what I can provide....and a show of trust. I have rather shown too much to turn back now, haven't I?"
"Er.....right," Walker blinked.
And if I say no, I expect you'd have one of your toughs relieve my headache....with Excedrin 9mm! Walker added to himself, Not.....that I wanted to say no, mind you.....
Neither are aware of recent developments with Xoanon and such outside, yet. They'd been tucked away in yet another abandoned house on the outskirts of town, away from public scrutiny.
Holy J**** H. C****t on a Harley! Walker swore to himself. This could work....and things would be much easier with all here than trying to set up with all the wogs over in that Bronze Age England!
"Hey, old friend," Walker smiles suddenly, winningly, "Welcome to the club! When can we start?"
"Now seems the best bet," Smith begins, then looks over Walkers shoulder and swears.
"You sister F*cking b*****ds," a angry voice says behind Walker.
Roland despised conspirators, for conspirators in part was what helped bring the kingdom he'd sworn himself to so long ago, Gilead, to ruin!
Roland and the others, having arrived at their destination, had quietly subdued the guard at the door and knowing something was amiss, had quietly snuck in and listened in!
The conspirators know that the fat was truly in the fire right now, and know that these interlopers must be killed immediately, no matter how.....strange some of them appear!
Roland and the others of his group know that if they are to walk away from this alive......they must deal with this situation in a most lethal....and violent manner!

J. K. Rowling Confirms Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Play
Saturday, June 27, 2015 John ONeill Comments 0 Comment
In a series of tweets yesterday, J.K. Rowling announced that her creation Harry Potter would return in a spin-off play, which will open in London's West End in summer 2016.
I'm also very excited to confirm today that a new play called Harry Potter and the CursedChild will be opening in London next year. It will tell a new story, which is the result of a collaboration between writer Jack Thorne, director John Tiffany and myself.
To answer one inevitable (and reasonable!) question — why isn't #CursedChild a new novel? — I am confident that when audiences see the play, they will agree that it was the only proper medium for the story. I've had countless offers to extend Harry's story over the years, but Jack, John and Sonia Friedman are a dream team! I don't want to say too much more, because I don't want to spoil what I know will be a real treat for fans. However, I can say that it is not a prequel!
Rowling is already hard at work on the script for another Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a Warner Bros. film based on her 2001 book of the same name, featuring monster wrangler Newt Scamander. But this is the first major post-Potter work that will feature her original characters.
Speculation is rampant about exactly where the story will fit in the time line, with some folks theorizing it could tell the tale of one of the summers only glossed over in the novels, or perhaps one of Harry Potter's cases as an auror. Rowling's co-writer Jack Thorne also wrote the highly regarded 2013 production of Let the Right One In for the National Theatre of Scotland (also directed by John Tiffany), so expectations are high. For now though, the creators are remaining mum.

Discovering Robert E Howard: Paul Bishop on The Fists of R.E.H.


BlackBerry CEO John Chen has said that the company's BB 10 operating system is "far from" dead. He made the comment in a post on the company's official blog, where-in he also revealed that BB 10-powered phones such as Passport, Classic, and others will be getting security and privacy enhancements this year.
"The coming version 10.3.3 will be certified for NIAP compliance, meaning it will have passed the strictest government-grade security tests, enabling us to further support our government and regulated customers who use BlackBerry 10 devices and demand the highest levels of security," he said in the blog post.
"We are also planning a version 10.3.4 for later this year with even more security improvements."
While we already know that BlackBerry will only be launching Android phones in 2016, Chen revealed that only one such device will be launched in 2016, adding that the company will be sharing its road-map at an appropriate time.
BlackBerry cant kill BB10. its the only OS that government official trust and use. If BlackBerry decides to kill it then it will also lose most or all of its corporate costumers.
