The Endangered Wildlife Trust is a non governmental, non-profit, conservation organization, founded in 1973 and operating throughout southern Africa. The EWT conserves threatened species and ecosystems in southern Africa by initiating research and conservation action programmes, implementing projects which mitigate threats facing species diversity and supporting sustainable natural resource management. The EWT furthermore communicates the principles of sustainable living through awareness programmes to the broadest possible constituency for the benefit of the region. The EWT has developed a unique operational structure through which the mission and objectives of the EWT can be achieved. The EWT achieves its conservation goals through specialist, thematic Programmes, designed to maximize effectiveness in the field and enhance the development of skills and capacity. These Programmes form the backbone of the organization and are essentially self-managed projects harnessing the talent and enthusiasm of a dynamic network of individuals who specialize in an area of conservation importance and have developed unique expertise in response to the challenges they face. Programmes comprise multiple stakeholders and harness their diverse but relevant expertise to address environmental priorities. Stakeholders include national and provincial government, landowners, local communities, ranch workers, conservancies, academic institutions and industry. The EWT also acts as a public watchdog, often taking government and industry to task for decision-making which does not meet sustainability criteria. The EWT is dedicated to conserving threatened species and ecosystems to the benefit of all the people of southern Africa. The organization achieves this mission by: * initiating and implementing conservation research and action programmes; * preventing species extinctions and maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functioning; * supporting sustainable natural resources and management; * communicating the principles of sustainable living and empowering people by capacity building, and awareness programmes to the broadest possible constituency; and * taking a strong leadership and advocacy role in promoting environmental and social justice.

Whenever i try to execute this in PHPmyadmin or from the PHP code, no records are being inserted and no errors come up. Thanks for the help!

A: Don't use @ since your parameters don't have them too.
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS RegisterUser$$
CREATE PROCEDURE `RegisterUser`(IN `uname` VARCHAR(30), IN `pass` VARCHAR(30), IN `first` VARCHAR(25), IN `last` VARCHAR(30), IN `mail` VARCHAR(35))

  INSERT INTO users (username, password, firstname, lastname, email)
  VALUES (uname, pass, first, last, mail);

DELIMITER ;

And use different parameter names than your column names to avoid mistakes.

Q: ¿Cómo leer los datos pasados en curl desde un interceptor? Estoy trabajando en un micro-servicio en el que tengo que guardar en el log las peticiones que se han hecho, así como algunos valores en particular.
Para ello he creado un interceptor que intercepta y maneja las peticiones que se hacen al servidor, y que guarda en el log las cabeceras con sus valores, el método usado y el path del servicio que se llamó. Éste es mi código:
package com.compania.equipo.proyecto.configuration

import com.compania.equipo.proyecto.miClase
import com.google.gson.Gson
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component
import org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerInterceptor
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView

@Component
class RequestInterceptor : HandlerInterceptor {

  val log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(RequestInterceptor::class.java)

  override fun preHandle(request: HttpServletRequest, response: HttpServletResponse, dataObject: Any) : Boolean {
    val headerMap = request.headerNames.toList().map { it to request.getHeader(it) }.toMap()
    log.info("Request Received.")
    log.info("Method: " + request.method)
    log.info("Path: " + request.servletPath)
    log.info("Headers: " + headerMap.toString())

    return true
  }

  override fun postHandle(request: HttpServletRequest, response: HttpServletResponse, dataObject: Any, model: ModelAndView?) {
    log.info("Request Processed.")
  }

  override fun afterCompletion(request: HttpServletRequest, response: HttpServletResponse, dataObject: Any, e: Exception?) {
    log.info("Request Completed.")
  }
}

Entonces si hago una petición como la siguiente:
curl -X POST http://localhost:4568/miServicio -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{
     "id" : 123,
     "suma" : 456,
     "valor" : 789
 }'

El resultado que obtengo es el siguiente:
Request Received.
Method: POST
Path: /miServicio
Headers: {host=localhost:4568, user-agent=curl/7.54.0, accept=*/*, content-type=application/json, content-length=107}
Request Processed.
Request Completed.

Y ahora me han pedido que además también haga logging de los datos (p.e. en el comando curl anterior sería { "id" : 123, "suma" : 456, "valor" : 789 }). He intentado poniendo este código en el preHandle:
val reader = request.reader
val gson = Gson()
val requestdata = gson.fromJson<Any>(reader, miClase::class.java)
log.info(requestdata.toString())

esa parte del código funciona, pero acto seguido recibo el siguiente mensaje de error y termina mi aplicación:

Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: getReader() has already been called for this request] with root cause
  java.lang.IllegalStateException: getReader() has already been called for this request

Esto parece que ocurre porque getReader sólo se puede llamar una vez, y lo estaría llamando en el preHandle y luego automáticamente en el controlador del servicio.
Después de ver los comentarios de SJuan76, intenté usar el inputStream en lugar de el reader, leyendo los bytes del inputStream y poniéndolos en una cadena:
val requestReader = request.inputStream.readBytes()
val requestBody = String(requestReader)
log.info(requestBody)

Ya no me sale el error anterior, y veo los datos en el log, pero me encuentro que ahora me da fallo en el controlador:

Failed to read HTTP message: org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: Required request body is missing:

Parece que porque como los datos ya han sido leídos, ya no están en el stream y no se pueden leer de nuevo en el controlador.
Como alternativa, de momento lo he quitado del preHandle y hago el log en el controlador sin problemas, pero me gustaría saber si hay algún modo de leer los datos pasados en el curl directamente en el preHandle para tener todo el logging en un mismo sitio (el interceptor).


International Poll: Who was behind 9/11?
I'm from Mexico and I didnt have any idea there was so many people here who doubt the official version!!
cualcrees on Fri, 09/12/2008 - 9:11am.
The evidence makes plain that Al Qaeda is code for those CIA false flag operations which scapegoat Islamic militants. CIA asset Osama bin Laden died nearly a decade ago, but lives on in CGI and computer-generated voice-morphing.
That most respondents in most countries named Al Qaeda as the perp is quite a tribute to the propaganda machines of the U.S. and its allied governments, and to the CIA's international Mockingbird media programs which so successfully spoonfeed those lies to the general public.
mcfrandy on Fri, 09/12/2008 - 4:31pm.
Belief in A-Q would be among the lowest figures in the international comparison, and belief in the U.S. role would be the highest - even higher than in Turkey.
Vesa on Fri, 09/12/2008 - 5:28pm.
The origin of these figures from a government supported US university makes them suspect. I would prefer an unbiased source.
aayers on Fri, 09/12/2008 - 5:33pm.
On the other hand, so-called "debunkers" can not claim that GlobalPublicOpinion.org is some unreliable source of information. It is hard to argue with a poll of 16,000 people in 17 countries.
I am using this to make some progress on Wikipedia (which is over-run with corrupt administrators).
You can help out by politely posting some supporting comments, you do not even have register (but you should because we want to get Wikipedia to follow its on rules on 9/11).
bofors on Sat, 09/13/2008 - 6:15am.
Given the advances made by the 911 truth movement in the past 5 years, it looks to me like we can succeed in 5 more years, or even less. We can reverse these statistics, where the majority believe the US government was primarily responsible for the attacks.
The international front is critical. When the rest of the world says our emperors have no clothes, the US people will be forced to face the truth. Time to start a blog!

Prince's sister reveals how singer predicted his own death ahead of UK exhibition
The rock star's sibling Tyka Nelson says her brother was cautious about leaving his legacy to chance, so spent his final years planning

Showman that he was, Prince would never leave his legacy to chance – and spent his final years planning, after predicting his own death long before it happened.
So says sister Tyka Nelson, who has set up an exhibition in memory of the Purple Rain singer who died last year, aged 57.
She tells how, three years earlier, he had told her in a cryptic phone call: "I think I've done everything I came to do."
Tyka, 57, tells the Mirror: "It didn't hit me then what he meant, but then he started his planning."

Prince asked her to turn his Paisley Park home into a museum and set up a creative arts school for children.
She was so convinced he was preparing to die she even bought earrings to wear to his funeral .
And now, preparing for the exhibition of the superstar's memorabilia at London's O2, she says she feels his presence there.

Telling how she sensed him while carrying one of his costumes in the venue, she says: "I do feel him.
"We were coming up an escalator and I saw a light out, and the bottom of his shirt was coming loose.
Tyka says her brother called her up and told her: "I think I've done everything I came to do" (Image: AFP)
"My eyes went there and I thought that needs to be fixed. He would have seen it."
Such attention to detail was clear in the plans he was making with her for the museum and school.

Tyka, who worked for him in the last four years of his life, says: "He gave instructions. He said, 'This has always been my dream.' We started the plans for the school. He told me who he wanted to work there, all of it.
"He started saying 'this is what I want' and 'this isn't what I want on that wall'."
Tyka say the exhibition is a continuation of her brother's plans (Image: AFP)
Because of his plans, Tyka believes the exhibition does not come too soon after he died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in April last year.
She says: "It's continuing his dream, what he wanted. It's emotional."

He kept all his outfits – many of which were self-designed – and the exhibition contains iconic items such as his cloud suit from the 1985 Raspberry Beret video and his custom orange Cloud guitar.
His chain hat from the My Name Is Prince video sits close by the Gibson L6-S guitar he played in his debut on American Bandstand in 1980.
And his immaculate dressing room is recreated with makeup, jewellery and sunglasses laid out. Tyka was so overcome at seeing it all she burst into tears at the launch event.

Now she plans to reveal all about her late brother in a biography, starting with her earliest memories of him and addressing the years of speculation about the singer's sexuality .
"Was he gay? Was he straight? All of those answers will be in there," she says.
She insists the notoriously private star would be happy about the book, insisting: "He was very proud of his heritage."

Tyka is locked in a dispute over his £200million fortune. A judge ruled in May it will be split between Tyka and Prince's five half-siblings, but they have reportedly been at loggerheads since Tyka asked to be named as administrator.
The My Name Is Prince exhibition opens today at London's O2.

Add a bit of whimsy to your event announcement reminding friends and family to save the date with Birthday Balloons save the date magnets.
Each magnet measures 3 1/2 inches long by 2 inches wide and comes complete with cards and envelopes for mailing with one standard postage stamp. Enter up to 6 lines of custom text to be printed in the lettering style and imprint color of your choice. Birthday Balloon magnets are also ideal for sending a thank you favor after the celebration.
I thought that the magnets were very well done and the picture and words came out perfect. The customer service was awesome to work with as I had an issue with my order and they very quickly replaced them and overnited them to have in two days for my affair. It was a 80th birthday party that I purchased them to use as a favor. I do think that the magnet itself was very well designed and printed but the thin magnet was very thin and should be a little bit thicker. Possibly the next thickness of magnet backing could be worth to make the product more durable and better if you are using as a save the date with the envelopes and cards to slide in.
Overall was nice but some of the magnets didn't lay flat, so I put them under a heavy book and that helped but possibly it is the hot summer weather and transit.
Customer service was awesome! I also ordered napkins a couple occasions and both times were lovely.
Comes with a stationary sheet with holders for the magnet (for mailing purposes). Very nice quality envelopes and stationary.
The save the date magnets which I purchased were spectacular. I was so pleased with them. The magnets themselves are awesome, the printing on them is great. The price was great, and delivery was super, they came in about a week or less. I definitely give it an all star rating, and would refer you whenever I can. Thanks again.

Flies and other insects can be a real pain to both you and your horse during the summer months. They buzz around and bother everything they can possibly land on. Here are some simple and easy ways to help you, your horse and your barn stay bug free.
Try and spray your horse with fly spray whenever you go out to see him. Spray him from head to hoof. You can use a roll on repellant for around his eyes and nose so the spray doesn't get into his eyes.
If your horse is going to be spending a good bit of time outside, putting a fly mask on during the day will help keep the flies off of his face and eyes. Try and take the mask off at night so it's not on all the time. You also should was the fly mask to keep it clean.
The skin inside your horse's ears is very sensitive. It is a good idea to not clip the hairs in his ears really short or at all during the summer. These little hairs help keep the bugs out. But if you must clip his ears for a show Dede Westbrook Camo Jersey , then consider putting a fly mask on him with ears to keep the bugs out.
If your horse has any cuts, scraps or wounds cover them up with ointment that has a bug repellant in it. Bugs love any open cuts.
Your horse's mane and tail are used as protection and a defense against the insects so do not shave off his mane or cut his tail too short. Think of his mane and tail as big fly swatters.
If fly spray isn't going enough work for your horse, you can try some spot-on repellant. All you have to do is apply it to certain areas all over your horse's body and it is absorbed into his skin and helps to repel insects for several weeks.
When you are done riding your horse make sure you hose him down.
Dried sweat attracts those annoying bugs.
If your horse comes in during the day try and have a fan on his stall or in the barn blowing air around. Flies and other bugs are less likely to land in an area where the air is circulating.
Does your barn seem to have swarms of flies in certain areas of the barn? Hanging some sticky fly strips will attract the bugs and they will get stuck on the straps. This will help to decrease the amount of flies in your barn.

The Withlacoochee Plant—which was not in a flood zone when originally built—was severely flooded and damaged in the 2009 flood event. The assessed level of damage to the Withlacoochee Plant was actually a key factor in obtaining the federal disaster declaration by the President, a declaration that provided federal assistance to the city as well as all flood victims. The city immediately sought FEMA's assistance and applied for funding for improvements to the collection system and for the relocation of the plant. While the city awaited FEMA's approval for funding, any major improvements to the plant or alternate sources of revenue sought would jeopardize possible FEMA funding. In anticipation of FEMA's funding, the city proactively acquired 75 acres of land to relocate the plant to property outside the 500-year flood plain and at an elevation approximately 60 feet higher than the existing plant site. After nearly three years of navigating FEMA's claims and appeal process, the city was denied funding on August 1, 2012 for the relocation of the plant and construction of a new force main project, which would have significantly eliminated most sewer overflows.
The upcoming investment of $52 million for the Withlacoochee Plant and the Force Main project will increase the city's investment to approximately $220 million in capital projects for its water and wastewater systems in the past 22 years—an average of $10 million a year.
In 2009, a temporary berm was constructed over multiple days as an emergency measure to protect the pump station; however, the berm did not prevent flooding of the chemical building, the chlorine contact building, the filters and the belt presses. The plant's electrical and control systems for these buildings and structures were destroyed in the flood waters and rendered inoperable. In 2013, the electric system, chlorine cylinders, de-chlorination system and all flooded areas were turned off to avoid the damage that was experienced in 2009. This decision was also made to avoid any potential drowning, electrocution and other safety concerns for staff members who were working at the flooded plant.
The Utilities Director's full presentation to the council is available on the home page of the city's website.
In November 2014, a SPLOST referendum will be held and voters will be asked to approve $55.4 million in dedicated funding for the plant relocation, force main project, and inspection of the remainder of the collection system. Additional work in the sewer collection system will also be needed, including the staff's inspection of 300 miles of underground city sewer lines, using cameras and other testing methods, to identify and eliminate sources of infiltration by lining or replacing the existing pipes. The GEFA loan will be used to accelerate the projects—otherwise the city would have to wait until all SPLOST funds are collected, which will not be until 2019. By using the GEFA loans for both construction and debt retirement, the city can have both projects completed and online by August 2015—making the sewer system improvements the highest priority.
For more information, citizens are encouraged to stay connected through the city's website at www.valdostacity.com and by watching Metro Valdosta 17, the government access channel on Mediacom.
It's good the City of Valdosta is responding, with a real press release, with real content. A few nits below.
I didn't know that, and I bet lots of other people didn't, either.
Out here in the wilds of northern Lowndes County, I don't get cable, so I don't get Metro Valdosta 17, although I may be interested in what's going on in the county seat. Will relevant content be on Valdosta Vimeo? If it is, why didn't the PR link to that content?
Mysteriously, the PR didn't provide a link to the Henry Hicks presentation, is here, although not on Henry Hicks' Utilities Dept. webpage. It turns out to be the PowerPoint slides he used (which download with no filename extension, like many other documents from the city's website). Those slides are good, but for what he said to the Council and what they said back, see the previously-posted LAKE videos. At their recent retreat, I hear the Valdosta City Council once again pooh-poohed the idea of videoing their own meetings. It's not like it's a technical problem: like the PR says, they have Metro Valdosta 17, with its cameras and staff; they could be doing this if they wanted to. Too bad: they're missing good PR.
That's true, but is only part of the story. Stormwater reservoirs upstream will help, but we can't even do that adequately unless we get realistic about the extent of the problem.

Well that was weird. It's a collection of short stories about a military unit composed of Universal Monsters such as Dracula, the Wolf Man, the Mummy, etc.
Despite being a modern printing it feels more like a 70's comic with narration describing what is going on in the panel. The humour, and it is supposed to be funny, is largely weak slapstick and puns galore. The kind of thing you would expect in the Dandy or Beano. While reading it you keep thinking you hear the canned laughter from an early Scooby Doo cartoon.
The art is probably digital and insanely garish. It is all colour and there are no outlines or inking visible which is quite a striking style.

One week until the big reveal of my new black and white meets audubon and botanical dining room space! Try saying that five times fast… This week has minimal updates, BUT I did get the replacement curtains hung and a few accessories. I also decided what to do about my plant saga, so onward we go! A huge thanks again to Lemons, Lavender & Laundry for hosting this challenge!
I came to my senses and realized I could take a full length photo from my patio, so here's the dining area before the new curtains were hung. I need to relocate Pee Wee's dining spot with his most fave Henri Bendel dog bowls (I bought them on clearance two years ago!). Yes, that's a bathmat. My sweet senior dog is starting to show signs of slowing down, so instead of him running to a rug to eat (he hates cold tile), which is his fave thing to do, I brought the rug/bathmat to him. Eyesore as it may be, I'll do anything to make him comfortable. Our home is not a home without Pee Wee.
I couldn't find my Lowe's receipt, and later did find it because that's just how stuff goes in my world, but I did find a cheap plastic planter with drainage at Dollar Tree that fit perfectly into my brass planter with stand.
The plant is a bit too big for the brass planter pot, whoops, so I think I'll need to rethink this. It's kind of compacted in there, and I know that can't be good for the roots. Luckily, I kept the original container I brought it home in, so I can move it back. This is why I am sticking to fake plants from here on out, friends! But is there a way to safely "reduce" the plant size? I want to cut about a third of it off and plant it in a smaller planter. Basically, can I make two plants out of one?
The curtains look lovely in here once again. I had a pair, then one was ruined by Mr. Pee Wee who decided to pee on it, took it to the cleaners and it shrunk a full foot or so despite following the care instructions. The company replaced the panel and we're being vigilant so Pee Wee doesn't get any crazy ideas again. I swear he's housebroken- he's just a fart sometimes. Note to self- Scotchguard the curtains! I added a pair of cheapy tassels from Big Lots that I had laying around that actually look quite lovely in here with all the brass and gold accents.
This is the newest brass/gold décor acquisition- a giant brass thermometer! I saw it online and was so in love, but thought it surely couldn't be worth $20 for a thermometer. I mean, we have a Nest for that. Then I saw it in-store, was truly smitten, but left it. Then I saw it again this weekend and just bought the darn thing with a gift card I had. Can't wait to get this beauty on the wall.
And remember that fun black and white pillow I linked to last week? Yeah, it jumped in my cart and came home with me, too.
I am likely all out of budget for this challenge, so it's a good thing the big reveal is next week! You all have been so kind to pin and comment on my space, and I can't thank you all enough. Gorgeous décor doesn't have to cost a fortune!
Now all that's left is to set the table and accessories for the big reveal. You won't want to miss it!
First, I kill all the things, so I have no idea about the plant, but I am going to say that you might have just bought the prettiest thermometer I have ever seen, and being that you saw it, like, 3 times, you know you needed it 🙂 Can't wait for that reveal!
Everything about this room makes my heart go pitter-patter. It's looking amazing! Great idea to take your photo from outside!
I love all your pieces and can't wait to see it all together.
Your room is looking great! The bathmat for your dog is so sweet. With that plant, you can take cuttings and make new plants. Snip a piece off and stick in in water until roots grow. I would say that you should be able to divide it too.
Ooh, thanks! I am so naive when it comes to plants, but I truly do want to learn. Thanks for the help, Emy!
I love Pee Wee's spot. My Lilly makes a huge mess when she gets a drink, I think I might get a bath mat for her to use! Great idea and my hardwood floors thank you!
How precious is Pee Wee's little spot! I like how his accessories match your decor. The room is looking so wonderful!!
Oh I love it, so pretty. Can't wait to see the final photos.

Pro-abortion columnist says no, "We don't have the Supreme Court We Deserve"
Dave Andrusko
By Dave Andrusko
I find the self-deception endlessly amusing. When the Supreme Court was wandering far and wide outside the constraints of the Constitution but came up with the "correct" conclusion, not a peep out of pro-abortion reporters such as Linda Greenhouse of The New York Times. What's a little judicial activism so long as the justices find a "right to abortion," to take just one example.
But…that was then and this is now. Fourteen years after Greenhouse turned Times columnist, she asks a rhetorical question in a column which ran today: "Do We Have the Supreme Court We Deserve?". Needless to say the answer is a resounding No!
When she retired from covering the Supreme Court beat, Greenhouse wrote a lengthy column and
ended it with an observation about the "vital dialogue" between the court and the country. This was my conclusion:
"The court is in Americans' collective hands. We shape it; it reflects us. At any given time, we may not have the Supreme Court we want. We may not have the court we need. But we have, most likely, the Supreme Court we deserve."
A friend who recently came upon that article challenged me. "Do you still think we have the Supreme Court we deserve?" she asked.
Actually, sadly, my answer now is no.
She bemoans that Republican presidents aren't choosing her kind of justice, such as David Souter and John Paul Stevens. Instead, President Trump's selections for the Supreme Court are Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
"One might suppose," Greenhouse writes, "that the supercharged conservative majority might proceed with some caution, if not humility…
Yet what we see from the court is not humility but, to put it politely, a lack of situational awareness. Polls consistently show that a majority of Americans oppose overturning Roe v. Wade, something the court has given every indication that it will do within the next six months. Three-quarters of respondents in one recent poll said the abortion decision should be left to women and their doctors. (That was also the view of a majority of the public in a Gallup poll released in the summer of 1972, shortly before the court issued its decision in Roe.)
The Court should "follow the polls"? Not exactly, Greenhouse no doubt would say, but they should read the Constitutionthrough the lens of popular opinion.
As we have written many times, the public has no idea that Roe went as far as it did: essentially abortion on demand. When responding to laws that would protect unborn children and their mothers, the public supports our position of loving both.
For example, Texans approve of the Heartbeat Law! A poll taken by the pro-abortion Houston Chronicle "conducted Oct. 4 to Oct. 21 and released Tuesday, found that 55 percent of Texans support Senate Bill 8."
Texas' Heartbeat Law—S.B.8—found not only major support among women and men, Latino and white respondents, it also gathered strong support among Independents and nearly 4 in ten Democrats!
What about Mississippi's "Gestational Age Act" which protects unborn babies after the 15th week? What does the public think about this?
According to the Los Angeles Times' David Savage, a poll conducted by the Marquette University Law School asked respondents "if they would favor or oppose a ruling to 'uphold a state law that (except in cases of medical emergencies or fetal abnormalities) bans abortions after the 15th week of a pregnancy,' 37% said they favored upholding it, while 32% said they would oppose such a ruling."
Savage added, "It is a result that pollsters have long observed if respondents are asked several questions about their views on abortion." The Marquette University Law School poll put it this way: "This is in line with much national polling on abortion over the years, which consistently finds support for maintaining Roe and a right to an abortion but accepts including on the timing of abortions, as in this case."
The irony? Given the choice, the public is very comfortable choosing.

L&Q recognised at First Time Buyer Awards 2022
This year's First Time Buyer Awards saw L&Q scoop two accolades – Best Large Development for The Quarry in Erith, in partnership with Anderson, and 'Highly Commended' in the Best Partnership Category for L&Q's joint venture with Mount Anvil, The Silk District.
The prestigious industry awards hosted by First Time Buyer Magazine took place in London on the 2nd September 2022.
Shortlisted alongside tough competition, both wins highlight L&Q's commitment to delivering crucial new affordable homes in prime London locations.
Located a short walk from Whitechapel Station and the Elizabeth Line, together with Mount Anvil, L&Q at the Silk District is transforming a former warehouse site into a collection of 698 contemporary open plan homes with impressive on-site amenities of which the current phase of Shared Ownership homes from L&Q is already over 50% reserved.
Alongside the quick transport links across the capital and modern interiors, residents benefit from a wide range of on-site facilities. This includes a state-of-the-art gym, complete with Technogym exercise equipment, and a private Peloton studio for spinning classes. For those keen to impress visiting friends and family, the private cinema space can be booked out, a benefit available exclusively to residents.
Meanwhile The Quarry in Erith, a landmark 849-home neighbourhood delivered by L&Q and Anderson on the site of the former Parishes Loam Quarry in South East London, won Best Large Development.
Making a significant contribution to the borough's housing targets, this multi award winning development which spans a 50-acre site will establish high quality living, along with educational and community spaces to build on the ecology of the site. Promoting a sense of countryside living, the development has been built with families in mind, introducing walkways across the site to encourage pedestrians and cyclists to travel through the site instead of around it, with no through access for cars.
All homes at The Quarry will offer generous living and outdoor spaces, and benefit from large floor-to-ceiling windows that maximise views and natural light. Additional features include fitted contemporary appliances and underfloor heating. All homes have access to private outdoor space in the form of gardens, balconies and terraces.
Find out more about our new homes at L&Q at the Silk District and The Quarry, and view the full list of winners at the First Time Buyer Awards 2022 here.


Children's behavior is the concern of many parents. Kids can be diagnosed with ADD, ADHD or ODD, when in fact, it is the various choices their parents have made throughout the course of their kids' lives that make kids act the way they do. Yes, I know this is hard to accept, but I believe that if you were to give me a normal child – boy or girl – I could, by making a simple choice to act in a particular way, single-handedly turn this child into a problematic beast with social problems, difficulties with authority, declining academic achievement, lack of motivation, depression, anger and anxiety, just to name a few.
The success kids experience in their social, academic and even physical lives depends on the environment within which they live. It takes two to tango. If you position a cheerful child in a gloomy place, you already have a formula for trouble. If you put a sporty kid in a slow-paced or restrained environment, you have a recipe for a problematic kid.
I am going to illustrate to you how this works with one of my personal experiences, which I think is a great example.
When our son Tsoof was in his final year of primary school, all the parents began talking about choosing high schools for their kids. The tension was surprisingly high, as many parents thought that was the most important decision of their kids' lives.
Gal and I were a bit confused about it. Four years before, we had chosen our daughter Eden's school because it was good school and because she wanted to dance. However, we were unsure that school would also be the best for Tsoof, because all Tsoof ever wanted to do was play and listen to music and play basketball.
Technically, we could register him at the same school as his sister, or at a school closer to home, which had an excellent reputation academically and as a school of excellence in music and French. Of course, we always had the option of registering him at one of the larger private schools close to the city, but we had heard that academically, the two schools we were considering were more successful than those top private schools.
School A: Located within walking distance from our house and offering a program of excellence in music, which is what our son loved and wanted to do.
School B: Located 10 minutes' drive from our house and offering a multicultural environment (kids from over 60 different countries) and an excellence program in sport (Tsoof played basketball) and in performing arts (dance, drama and music).
So one day, Gal talked to the history teacher from School A, who happens to live on our street, and asked him about the reasons people chose to send their kids to that particular school.
"People bring their kids to our school when they want a strict school with discipline, where their kids won't get into trouble and mischief. We do not allow trouble makers, so kids cannot afford to cause any trouble at our school".
We knew all there was to know about School B, because our daughter Eden had studied there for 3 years, so finally, we decided to go and check out School A in person and more closely.
We discovered by asking some students in the yard that the school was an extremely competitive one. Some of the kids even suggested to us that unless Tsoof excelled in music or French, it was not worth considering.
Then, Gal went to the school to visit the principal.
The principal answered proudly, "Other schools allow kids to have different hair styles or different colored hats, but at our school, all the kids must be the same. The best thing about this school is the discipline. Kids are disciplined here and this is the reason they are better at everything they do".
"What do you mean by 'discipline'? Why would kids need discipline to do well at school?" Gal asked.
"It is because the rules are very clear. Their hair cut, the folding of their socks, their homework, their uniform, the punctuality – all at very strict and very clear".
"Why would it matter if they have a different hair cut?" Gal asked.
"If students have long hair and stand out amongst everyone else, then they quickly draw attention to themselves. They then come to expect that they are always the center of attention and they start to become disrespectful by continually attempting to draw attention to themselves. This school does not tolerate disrespectful kids", said the principal, starting to sound as if this was rather obvious.
"What if their hair is their way of expressing themselves? What about individuality?" Gal asked.
"Good schoolwork and achievement is their way to express their individuality. I promise you, if your son studies here, you will not experience any behavioral problems".
I believe this could not be further from the truth and let me explain how easy it is to take my normal, happy, successful kid and turn him into a troublemaker.
What do you think would become of such a kid if he studied in a school that believed its greatest asset was discipline?
Despite the school's program of excellence in music, you only need one glance at this kid to understand that that school and Tsoof would never gel together.
This year, for the 3rd time in his life, Tsoof decided to grow his hair long. The first time he did that was in Prep (the year before Grade 1). The second time was in Grade 5 and all the while with his long hair he made wonderful academic achievements, exhibited great talent in music and developed excellent social skills with ease, as he did during the rest of his primary schooling. He was never disrespectful towards other kids, other adults, his parents, his teachers or his principals and he developed very well with neither a perfect uniform nor strict discipline.
It is perhaps true that some kids need a structured school environment. Such kids mesh well with the type of school down the road from us, but many others, with free spirits, can only blossom in a freer environment.
I could imagine my happy, joyful, friendly and bubbly child gradually sinking lower and lower, at first protesting, "Mom, these people don't respect or appreciate me. I'm just one of many soldiers in their army". Then, I could imagine him putting most of his energy into finding strange and dangerous ways to express himself. I could see him neglecting his schoolwork and his academic achievements going way down.
And just like many other kids who have been diagnosed with behavioral problems, he would gain the dreaded title of "troublemaker" for life.
Suddenly, I understood how time and time again, parents fall into the trap of thinking, "I am giving my kids the best", but in their search for "excellence", they end up ignoring the true needs of their kids. I could easily have been blinded by the concept of the school having a "program of excellence in music", but in reality, I would have made a decision that satisfied my need for security over Tsoof's learning needs. I now understand how easy it is to make that wrong choice. In the end, we figured out that the choice we had to make was one between excellence and happiness and once we realized this, the choice was easy.
So as you can see, one choice on your part can change your kid's life forever.
When it comes time for choosing schools, get to know your kids and make the choice that is right for them!
This is why it's so important to take your time and use real care when choosing a school for your child. It's too easy to leave it til the last minute and then pick a school for them that you know nothing about but which will take them anyway. It's surprising that so few parents take the time to learn about the schools that will help to build the people their children will become.
I think there are many parents searching for the right school but most of them look for a school with academic achievements and do not understand that academic is just one aspect of their kids future.
We know a family that their daughter was a school captain in primary school. This girl rocked. She was in every function, every activity, doing sport, music. She was very academic and they did everything they could to get her into one of the best school in the city. The girl after one term is a shadow of herself. The school she came from was big but the high school was even bigger and she is not coping.
I say, what's the point?
She is so miserable so her parents can say she is studying in the one of the best schools in the city. She is not studying there, she is attending the best school in the city, it is not the same.
I don't know why is that.
I thought as we progress, schools would understand that strict and respect do not go hand in hand.
You are right. High school is a great period and we want to help them find themselves instead of teach them to obey.
Seems like many schools are getting more and more strict and I find it completely unnecessary. High School is where many kids start finding out who they are and what they want to do.
I think you do have some valid points to be made and thank you for sharing your ideas with us the reader.

Autoinhibitory control of the CaV1.2 channel by its proteolytically processed distal C-terminal domain
Joanne T. Hulme, Vladimir Yarov-Yarovoy, Teddy W C Lin, Todd Scheuer, William A. Catterall
Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels of the CaV1 family initiate excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle and are primary targets for regulation by the sympathetic nervous system in the 'fight-or-flight'response. In the heart, activation of β-adrenergic receptors greatly increases the L-type Ca2+ current through CaV1.2 channels, which requires phosphorylation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) anchored via an A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP15). Surprisingly, the site of interaction of PKA and AKAP15 lies in the distal C-terminus, which is cleaved from the remainder of the channel by in vivo proteolytic processing. Here we report that the proteolytically cleaved distal C-terminal domain forms a specific molecular complex with the truncated α11 subunit and serves as a potent autoinhibitory domain. Formation of the autoinhibitory complex greatly reduces the coupling efficiency of voltage sensing to channel opening and shifts the voltage dependence of activation to more positive membrane potentials. Ab initio structural modelling and site-directed mutagenesis revealed a binding interaction between a pair of arginine residues in a predicted α-helix in the proximal C-terminal domain and a set of three negatively charged amino acid residues in a predicted helix-loop-helix bundle in the distal C-terminal domain. Disruption of this interaction by mutation abolished the inhibitory effects of the distal C-terminus on CaV1.2 channel function. These results provide the first functional characterization of this autoinhibitory complex, which may be a major form of the CaV1 family Ca2+ channels in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells, and reveal a unique ion channel regulatory mechanism in which proteolytic processing produces a more effective autoinhibitor of CaV1.2 channel function.

Creepy Image of Pennywise the Clown from Stephen King's IT
Check out this new haunting picture of actor Bill Skarsgård in the role of the monstrous Pennywise the Clown in the big screen adaptation of Stephen King's It.
The movie is being directed by Andy Muschietti and it stars Jaeden Lieberher (Midnight Special) as Bill Denbrough, Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) as Richie Tozier, Sophia Lillis as Beverly Marsh, Jack Dylan Grazer(Tales of Halloween) as Stan Uris, Wyatt Oleff (Guardians of the Galaxy) as Eddie Kaspbrak, Chosen Jacobs (Hawaii Five-0) as Mike Hanlon, andJeremy Ray Taylor (42) as Ben Hanscom.
The costume design comes from costume designer Janie Bryant(Deadwood, Mad Men) who talked to EW about the design of the outfit saying:
"The costume definitely incorporates all these otherworldly past lives, if you will. He is definitely a clown from a different time.
"That pleating is actually Fortuny pleating, which gives it almost a crepe-like effect. It's a different technique than what the Elizabethans would do. It's more organic, it's more sheer. It has a whimsical, floppy quality to it. It's not a direct translation of a ruff or a whisk, which were two of the collars popular during the Elizabethan period."
"There is almost a doll-like quality to the costume. The pants being short, the high waistline of the jacket, and the fit of the costume is a very important element. It gives the character a child-like quality."
EW says that every part of the costume is "meant to suggest something both ancient and disturbed." When talking about the colors of the costume, Bryant says:
"The pompoms are orange, and then with the trim around the cuffs and the ankles, it's basically a ball fringe that's a combination of orange, red, and cinnamon. It's almost like Pennywise fades into his environment. But there are accents to pull out the definition of the gray silk."
It's explained that this version of the character was designed to "camouflage himself and strike rather than lure children with lively plumage." I really like the design of the character and the direction they took it. The real test will be seeing him in action.
When previously talking about the character, Skarsgård said:
"It's such an extreme character. Inhumane. It's beyond even a sociopath, because he's not even human. He's not even a clown. I'm playing just one of the beings It creates…It truly enjoys the shape of the clown Pennywise, and enjoys the game and the hunt. What's funny to this evil entity might not be funny to everyone else. But he thinks it's funny. There's a childishness to the character, because he's so closely linked to the kids. The clown is the manifestation of children's imaginations, so there's something child-like about that."
There are two films being developed to tell this incredible story. The first one is set in the 1980s and will focus on a group of friends known as the "Losers Club" who band together to battle a terrifying monster who is killing children in Derry, Maine. The second film is set 30 years later in modern times when the monster returns and the Losers Club come back together to try and destroy It once and for all.
Here's a official synopsis:
Based on the novel by Stephen King, the film's story recalls a promise made twenty-eight years ago that forces seven adults to reunite in Derry, Maine, where as teenagers they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city's children. Unsure that their Losers Club had vanquished the creature all those years ago, the seven had vowed to return to Derry if IT should ever reappear. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that summer return as they prepare to do battle with the monster lurking in Derry's sewers once more.
The first film is set to be released on September 8th, 2017. Here are a few new photos from the film that the director posted on his Instagram account:

London commodities broker Marex Spectron is in talks to buy the metals storage unit owned by JPMorgan Chase & Co. , the Times of London reported.
This news comes less than two weeks after the Wall Street bank said it would seek "strategic alternatives" for its physical oil, gas, power and metals trading division amid a crackdown by U.S. regulators on banks owning commodities storage.
Marex Spectron -- a ring dealing member of the London Metal Exchange -- and JPMorgan declined to comment on the report.
JPMorgan's metals warehousing firm, Henry Bath & Sons, is based in Liverpool, Britain and is nearly 220 years old. It operates 72 metal warehouses from Baltimore to Busan.
"Not everyone has deep enough pockets to pick up these assets. Marex would have the financial muscle to do something," said one industry source, who did not want to be named as he is not authorized to speak to media.
Analysts have been divided on what would be the best option for JPMorgan's physical oil, gas, power and metals trading division -- with some suggesting a piecemeal sale and others saying it would gain the most from selling the division intact.
JPMorgan has said it may seek a joint venture, spin-out or sale, but has not said whether it will seek to keep the division whole or sell it in parts.

Op de sinds 1978 bestaande Werelderfgoedlijst van de Unesco komen ook enkele (berg)spoorlijnen voor.

India
Sinds 1999 staat de Darjeelingspoorweg in India op de lijst. In 2005 werd de vermelding uitgebreid tot Bergspoorwegen van India en werd de Nilgiri Bergspoorweg toegevoegd. In 2008 werd deze uitgebreid met de Kalka-Shimla Spoorweg.

Oostenrijk

Sinds 1998 prijkt de Semmeringspoorlijn de Werelderfgoedlijst. De Semmeringbahn is een onderdeel van de Oostenrijkse Südbahn (of zuidelijke spoorweg). De lijn loopt van Gloggnitz over de Semmeringpas naar Mürzzuschlag en was de eerste normaalsporige bergspoorweg in Europa. Kijkende naar het zware terrein en het hoogteverschil wordt zij ook als eerste ter wereld beschouwd. De gehele lijn, geopend in 1854 en 41 kilometer lang, is nog steeds van groot belang voor de Oostenrijkse spoorwegen. In 1959 werd de hele lijn geëelektrificeerd.

De spoorlijn werd door bouwmeester Carl Ritter von Ghega zodanig aangelegd, dat de natuur en de techniek met elkaar concurreren zonder elkaar in de weg te zitten. Daarom is de spoorlijn in 1998 als eerste spoorlijn op de Werelderfgoedlijst opgenomen.

Zwitserland

Sinds juli 2008 zijn ook twee spoorlijnen van de Rhätische Bahn in het Zwitserse kanton Graubünden op de Werelderfgoedlijst geplaatst. Dit betreft de Albulabahn en de Berninabahn. Deze twee spoorlijnen behoren tot de meest indrukwekkende metersporige bergspoorlijnen in de Alpen die het hooggebergte via bergpassen kruisen.

De Albulabahn werd in 1904 geopend en heeft en lengte van 67 kilometer. De lijn omvat een aantal indrukwekkende kunstwerken, waaronder 42 tunnels en overdekte galerijen en 144 viaducten en bruggen. De Berninabahn omvat 13 tunnels en galerijen en 52 viaducten en bruggen.

Deze lijnen zijn een goed voorbeeld van het gebruik van de spoorwegen om afgelegen streken in de Alpen in de 20e eeuw uit hun isolement te verlossen. Dit had een ingrijpende invloed op het sociaal-economische leven in de bergen. Deze en andere spoorlijnen behoren ook tot de belangrijkste toeristische attracties in Zwitserland.

Alumni Golf Outing
Findlay Takes Third in Final Regular Season Tournament
Noblesville, Ind. – The University of Findlay men's golf team picked up some momentum heading into the postseason as they took third place at the Greyhound Invitational in Noblesville, Indiana on Tuesday, April 9. The Oilers moved up one spot on the day to take third after posting a 294 in the final round which gave them a 54-hole score of 873 (+9), tied for the third-best three-round total in school history. Findlay, ranked sixth in the Midwest region heading into the week, finished higher than six of the other nine teams ranked in the region including top ranked Grand Valley St and second-ranked Missouri-St. Louis.
Junior Luke Kelly was the unquestioned leader of Findlay's squad this week as he capped off his 54-hole event with an even-par 72 on Tuesday. That gives him a score of 214 (-2) for the week which put him in a tie for sixth overall. That score of 214 is the sixth-best 54-hole stretch in school history. Kelly battled back after shooting a +2 (38) on the front nine to make three birdies on the back, securing his score of 72.
Senior Dylan DeWitt and freshman Tanner Grzegorcyzk each finished the tournament tied for 26th with a 220 (+4). DeWitt had three birdies on Tuesday and shot a 73 (+1) while Grzegorcyzk, who finished second in the field with 40 pars on the week, posted a 74 (+2).
Finishing in a tie for 33rd was junior Sam Griffith who shot a 75 (+3) in the final round to complete a 54-hole score of 221 (+5). Four shots behind Griffith was freshman Caleb Westfall who carded a 77 (+5) on Tuesday to finish with a 225 (+9) and tied for 48th.
Freshman Hunter Foltz competed as an individual and finished in a tie for 38th with a 223 (+7) after shooting a final round score of 77 (+5).
The Oilers are back in action on April 19-20 when they head to Lexington, Ky. in hopes to defend their 2018 title at the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Championship at the University Club of Kentucky.


Unwanted Alarm signals have been exercising all parties for many years. Police and Fire have taken radically different approaches, the Police have adopted a national approach providing a Unique Recognition Number (URN) to systems that have been installed to accredited third party validated standards. Fire Services have adopted a range of approaches, from non-attendance to any call from an Alarm Receiving Company to full attendance to all such calls. Key industry trade bodies, the British Security Industry Association, the Fire Industry Association and the Fire & Security Association have combined to develop a new Electronic Call Handling system (the ECHO project), and have secured funding, under a Joint Security and Resilience Centre initiative, from the Home Office for this purpose.
British APCO is pleased to be a part of ECHO and to be working on the Technical Specification Group. The group aims to use the Multi Agency Incident Transfer (MAIT) protocol championed by British APCO as the standard for handling alarm call information.
The group is in its early stages so more information will follow soon.
