Q: how to dump data into elastic search using BULKAPI when i try  to dump more than 40,000 records (of size 100MB in JSON format) in to elastic search using NEST bulk API.
Its throwing exceptions like the following:
Operation has been timed out / Underlying connection has been closed
I have tried Set Timeout option on the index.
I have made configuration changes in elastic search directory like ES_HEAP_SIZE= 2g, in

elasticsearch.yml:
  bootstrap.mlockall:true

but still it is not supporting more than 40k records to dump into it.

Q: PHP preg_replace Regex dont replace when cid: until next match So basicly I am trying to make a Regex where it looks for src="", skips it when it's like src="cid: and goes to the next match with an interval of 1.
Here is my full line of code right now:
$mailMessage = preg_replace( '@src="([^"]+)"@' , 'src="cid:' . $imageCombined . '" ' . 'id="' . $imageID . '"' , $mailMessage , 1);

The @src="([^"]+)"@ is the part that I am referring to.

A: You can use
'@src="(?!cid:)([^"]+)"@'
       ^^^^^^^^

See the regex demo.
Details

*

*src=" - literal text src="

*(?!cid:) - a negative lookahead that fails the match if there is cid: string immediately to the right of the current location

*([^"]+) - Group 1: any one or more chars other than a " char

*" - a " char.


How can policy and practice more effectively tackle homelessness, and how does it overlap with people's other support needs?
With official homelessness figures increasing by 23 per cent at the end of 2010 compared to 2009 and 1,768 people sleeping rough we need to better understand people's experiences of both homelessness and rough sleeping. This Round-up highlights the prevalence of mental health issues, traumatic childhood experiences and suicide attempts amongst people accessing low-level homelessness support services.

4 errors

A: Declaration
You forgot to declare the i variable.
For that, simply prefix it with the type.
int i = 0
// instead of just
i = 0

Scope
Also, your final print
System.out.println(result);

is trying to use the variable result which is local to the loop. So it does not exist outside of the loop anymore. You have to create it before the loop:
int result = ...
for (...) {

}
System.out.println(result);

Int division
Finally, this line will not compute what you expect:
int x = ((amount * 10) / 100);

The problem here is that you demand integer division, so int / int which yields an int as well, so rounded down. Basically 1 / 3 is 0.
You have to work with floating point numbers, like a double instead.
double x = ((amount * 10) / 100.0;

Also note the 100.0 which makes it a double.

A: All comments give you correct answer, but to be clear.
First if you declare anything inside for loop, it will stay there. You can not call it outside for. So you have to do it before for loop.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class showCase {
    public static void main(String[]args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        int amount = scanner.nextInt();
        int result = 0;
        for(int i=0; i<3; i++) {
            int x = ((amount * 10) / 100);
            result = amount - x;
            amount = result;
        }
        System.out.println(result);
    }

In an effort to provide a tool to assist in evaluating the benefits (in terms of reduced delay) of any policy to limit traffic, a model is presented of long delays at busy airports, and an improved method is outlined of estimating delay patterns. The model which is fitted for arrivals at Kennedy International Airport, is a simple deterministic queueing model. The arrival rate is taken to be the rate at which present arrivals or departures would land or take off if there were unlimited capacity to accommodate them. The acceptance rate is the maximum number of operations that an airport can accept during a period of time. It is a maximum technological capacity of the airport and the surrounding airspace and is higher than the capacity defined by 4-minute average delay. Traffic and delay estimates for Kennedy are provided which make it possible to calibrate a computerized version of the model. The estimates are disaggregated by weather and season. Some results of reduction in delay to be expected from specified reductions in traffic are summarised.

A review of corporate goals of No Net Loss and Net Positive Impact on biodiversity
Hugo J. Rainey, Edward H. B. Pollard, Guy Dutson, Jonathan M. M. Ekstrom, Suzanne R. Livingstone, Helen J. Temple, John D. Pilgrim
Journal: Oryx / Volume 49 / Issue 2 / April 2015
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2014, pp. 232-238
Print publication: April 2015
Increased recognition of the business case for managing corporate impacts on the environment has helped drive increasingly detailed and quantified corporate environmental goals. Foremost among these are goals of no net loss (NNL) and net positive impact (NPI). We assess the scale and growth of such corporate goals. Since the first public, company-wide NNL/NPI goal in 2001, 32 companies have set similar goals, of which 18 specifically include biodiversity. Mining companies have set the most NNL/NPI goals, and the majority of those that include biodiversity, despite the generally lower total global impact of the mining industry on biodiversity compared to the agriculture or forestry industries. This could be linked to the mining industry's greater participation in best practice bodies, high-profile impacts, and higher profit margins per area of impact. The detail and quality of present goals vary widely. We examined specific NNL/NPI goals and assessed the extent to which their key components were likely to increase the effectiveness of these goals in benefiting biodiversity and managing business risk. Nonetheless, outcomes are more important than goals, and we urge conservationists to work with companies to both support and monitor their efforts to achieve increasingly ambitious environmental goals.
A review of lessons learned from a Local Conservation Group approach in Indochina
John D. Pilgrim, Karin Eberhardt, Jonathan C. Eames, Bou Vorsak, Pham Tuan Anh
Journal: Oryx / Volume 45 / Issue 3 / July 2011
Building local civil society constituencies for conservation is a particularly high priority in Indochina given the regional prevalence of weak and highly-centralized government institutions with an inability or lack of will to enforce protection on the ground. BirdLife International has developed and piloted a small-scale, community-based Local Conservation Group approach to site-based conservation globally. In Indochina a number of important lessons have been learned, particularly related to the need for participatory project and activity planning, increased attention to provision of tangible benefits that clearly meet both conservation and development objectives and are tailored to heterogeneous communities, increased support for awareness-raising activities, clear monitoring of activities and impacts, and truly committed partner support for implementation.
Historical and current status of vultures in Myanmar
HTIN HLA, NAY MYO SHWE, THURA WIN HTUN, SAO MYO ZAW, SIMON MAHOOD, JONATHAN C. EAMES, JOHN D. PILGRIM
Journal: Bird Conservation International / Volume 21 / Issue 4 / December 2011
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 January 2011, pp. 376-387
Print publication: December 2011
Concerns for the long-term survival of vulture populations on the Indian Subcontinent, owing to widespread poisoning by the veterinary drug diclofenac, have led to increased conservation focus on South-East Asian countries where diclofenac is not used and relict populations of vultures occur. We document here how White-rumped, Slender-billed and Red-headed Vultures have declined substantially in abundance and contracted in range in Myanmar over the last 50 years. Using a vulture restaurant method we determined that the population of vultures in Myanmar is at least 136 individuals, made up of at least: 62 White-rumped Vultures, 21 Slender-billed Vultures, 51 Himalayan Vultures and two Red-headed Vultures. The decline in the resident Gyps species is most likely due to declines in wild ungulate populations. Our population estimates are provisional and the survey covered only a proportion of the possible vulture range within Myanmar. Himalayan Vultures were not recorded in Myanmar in historical times, and possible reasons for the recent upsurge in records are discussed. Myanmar presents an opportunity of global significance for vulture conservation, due to the persistence of three Critically Endangered vulture species in a country where diclofenac is not used.

Book: Phylogeny and Conservation
Published online: 04 December 2009
Print publication: 22 September 2005, pp 267-294
Phylogeny affects conservation at multiple levels. At the level of the vision of conservation – of the long-term persistence of the processes that maintain biodiversity – phylogeny informs how we should represent these evolutionary processes (see, for example, Chapter 11). At the level of the goal of conservation – of representing the planet's biodiversity in a comprehensive conservation system – phylogeny reveals the units requiring representation (see, for example, Chapter 2). Finally, at the level of conservation strategies, phylogeny gives an extra dimension of biodiversity value that can be incorporated into conservation prioritisation (see, for example, Chapter 5). Here, we explore this third level.
Efficient biodiversity conservation requires systematic prioritisation of efforts; ad hoc planning has significant economic and societal costs (Pressey 1994). In a major review of systematic conservation planning, Margules & Pressey (2000) conceptualised the framework for conservation strategy as requiring two variables: 'irreplaceability' and 'vulnerability'. Irreplaceability refers to uniqueness, or the extent to which a given biodiversity feature will be needed to contribute to a set of conservation values; vulnerability refers to threat, or probability of loss of biodiversity value (Pressey & Taffs 2001). This framework was originally conceived as operating across geographic space (i.e. applied to the prioritisation of sites, whether specific protected sites or broad biogeographic regions). Here, we extend the concept to application across phylogenetic space: prioritisation between species. Throughout this chapter, 'irreplaceability' and 'uniqueness' are used interchangeably, as are 'vulnerability' and 'threat'.
Status, abundance and habitat use of Blue-eyed Cockatoo Cacatua ophthalmica on New Britain, Papua New Guinea
STUART J. MARSDEN, JOHN D. PILGRIM, ROGER WILKINSON
Journal: Bird Conservation International / Volume 11 / Issue 3 / September 2001
Most research on cockatoos Cacatua outside Australia has focused on species that figure significantly in the pet trade. Here, we examine the status of Blue-eyed Cockatoo Cacatua ophthalmica, an extremely poorly known species endemic to the island of New Britain, in three lowland forest types: primary forest, forest that had been commercially logged of selected large trees in the previous eight years, and forest gardens (small-scale mixed agroforests or "homegardens" tended by indigenous people). During fieldwork at two lowland study sites on New Britain between December 1998 and April 1999, groups of C. ophthalmica were recorded in all forest types (maximum group size = 40), but the species was largely absent from non-forested areas. Estimated cockatoo density in selectively logged forest (64 individuals per km2) was similar to that in primary forest but densities in forest gardens at both sites (6 and 28 per km2) were considerably lower than those in primary forest (27 and 73 per km2). Most active nests found were in large trees in primary forest and the paucity of nests in logged forest, and particularly in forest gardens, is cause for concern given ongoing forest alteration on the island. While we predict that the Blue-eyed Cockatoo population on New Britain is declining, the species remains numerous and the current low levels of trapping and the large area of suitable forest remaining on the island indicate that the taxon is currently of "Least Concern". In a wider context, C. ophthalmica is considerably more common than most of the traded cockatoos, but the tendency for cockatoo densities to be highest in primary forest, intermediate in human-altered forests and lowest in non-forest areas holds for traded and untraded species alike.

You ever pass near/through Stonebridge, perchance? It's only a small thing I'm keeping an eye on, btw.
and Matt, shouldn't it be Oi Sancho! ?
I was brought up about half a mile down the road and it was bad enough then but it's REALLY gone downhill in the last 30 years !
Not really. It's over the other side of quite a big city. I can pop over there at some point if needs be. As Bob says, it's rough as guts over there.
That pic vaguely reminds me of Sheffield. No worries. Wouldn't want to drag you out of your way. Just thought that if it were somewhere you ever went nearby, you might have appreciated having a bit of tat hogging your cupboard space. Decided to stop being a tight arse and actually bought it. Just goes totally against the grain when the postage costs far more than one actually paid for the item though.
p.s: I will inflict some piece of tat on you one day if it kills me.
How are the woodworking/joinery lessons going, btw?


Limerick Docks is new home port for Limerick-designed and sole-surviving Irish wooden sailing ship, Ilen, which first sailed Shannon waters 92 years ago.
The arrival is very special moment for supporters of the project as the 56ft long wooden boat cut the Shannon waters to arrive in style at Limerick Docks.
The vessel was formally greeted by Mayor of the City and County of Limerick Cllr James Collins, and will remain at the Shannon Foynes Port Company operated docks ahead of a busy first full year back on the water in 2019.
Mayor Collins said: "We're delighted that the Ilen is back here in Limerick. It's been a labour of love really for the lads that worked on it, funded in part through Limerick City and County Council.
Designed by one of Ireland's greatest sailors, Edward Conor O'Brien, from Ardagh, Co. Limerick – the grandson of Irish nationalist and MEP William Smith O'Brien. Edward was captain of the first boat to sail around the world under the tri-colour of the Irish Free State.
Ilen sailed out from Foynes to the Falklands in 1926 and spent 70 years there as an inter-island trader, ferrying passengers, sheep, cattle, commercial goods and all other commodities required by remote island communities.
That was until her distinct lrish profile was recognised on a Falklands War TV news bulletin, over 30 years ago by one of her delivery crew from Cape Clear, Co. Cork.
A campaign, spearheaded by directors of the Limerick based Ilen Project, Gary McMahon and Brother Anthony Keane of Glenstal Abbey ensued and 20 years later, following a lot of sweat, funding and craftsmanship, the Ilen is finally back home on the Shannon.
Project Director Gary McMahon said that the boat is for the people of Limerick and, in particular, a learning platform for younger citizens for access to sailing and the marine environment.
"It's a community boat and its new home port is Limerick Docks and we are grateful to Shannon Foynes Port Company for its hospitality. There's an entire learning aspect to and we will continue to expand our current educational programmes around this project with schools. We are hoping also that the city will embrace the vessel and we will need support with this," Gary said.

The retailer first announced its plans to launch a concept store in Dallas back in June, which was then said to be a real-world test lab for technology-driven shopping experiences.
Like other Sam's Club stores, consumers will need a membership to shop at Sam's Club Now. But how they shop will be remarkably different.
Instead of cashiers, the store is staffed with "Member Hosts," who will act more like concierges, the company says.
And instead of scanning items at a point-of-sale cashier stand, customers will use a specialized Sam's Club Now mobile app.
The app leverages Sam's Club existing "Scan & Go" technology, which is used today across its retail locations to help speed up checkout. With the current Scan & Go mobile app, shoppers can opt to scan items as they place them in their cart, then pay right on their phone. At Sam's Club Now, however, the use of mobile scan-and-pay is required, not optional.
The Sam's Club Now app will also be infused with other features the company wants to try out, including an integrated wayfinding and navigation system, augmented reality features, an A.I.-powered shopping list and more.
The shopping list will also be powered by A.I. Using a combination of machine learning and customer purchase history, the list will be pre-populated with customers' frequent purchases. Those items can be removed from the list, if not needed.
This way, customers won't forget things they usually need to buy, the retailer says.
Meanwhile, the app will allow Sam's Club to test augmented reality as a way of highlighting "stories' about the products being sold and their features, as well as providing a way to find out how items are sourced. This seems more gimmicky, though, as it's unlikely that customers are interested in this sort of "infotainment" when just trying to get their shopping done.
But at very least, the test store gives the retailer a chance to confirm that supposition with real world data.
The app will also allow members to place pickup orders that will be ready in just an hour, or place same-day delivery orders.
The lack of cashiers won't be the only difference between this Sam's Club Now and other locations. The store will also be just a quarter of the size of an average club, at 32,000 square feet. That means it will feature, in some cases, smaller pack sizes than at the other warehouse club locations.
Because of the smaller size, it will also feature a quarter of the usual staff at 44 associates. But the goal is not to eliminate staff and replace them with technology, the retailer claims.
The company says it will include a range of products like meats, fresh foods, frozen items, beer and wine and meal solutions.
More importantly, it will also include a new inventory management and tracking technology. A system of over 700 cameras will be used to help the retailer manage the inventory and optimize the store layout.
On the shelves, it's also testing electronic shelf labels that will instantly update prices, eliminating the need to print out paper signage.
These are not third-party systems, the retailer says.
"The vast majority of technologies that we're building here are technologies that we've developed in house. There may be pieces of modules of things that we're using from third parties. But the majority are systems that are building on the technology that we've developed here," said Jamie Iannone, CEO of SamsClub.com and EVP of Membership & Technology. "That allows us to iterate and move pretty quickly with it," he noted.
By "quickly," the retailer means things can change in a matter of weeks. The store plans to rapidly iterate on new and different experiences across computer vision, A.I., A.R., machine learning, and robotics.
The winners will then be rolled out to other Sam's Club locations across the U.S.
The retailer says Dallas was selected as a test market because it's an easy trip from Walmart's headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, and because of Dallas' tech talent and the recruiting potential. The company today has over 100 engineers in the area, and it plans to hire more in the areas of machine learning, A.I. and computer vision.
It's worth noting, too, that Sam's Club Now has been set up, developed and made ready for opening in just five months.


Firstly, on Vista 64Bit – True Image was broken; corrupt images and failed restores. Not sure about 32Bit Vista yet – however having discovered the new Vista Image format and full backup and recovery options – I've switched (I also postponed the Vista 64Bit install until Cisco kindly update their VPN client). I've run several complete Vista image backups – nuked the drives and restored flawlessly each time. Before my Vista box goes into production I need to be super confident that I have good recovery options.
The new Backup and Restore Center in Windows Visa is excellent; boot from the Vista install CD, enter your language and time information, and then choose repair Vista on the next screen. If there's nothing to repair (i.e. an empty drive) you will still be allowed to move onto the next screen where you can choose your repair options – including a full recovery. No need to install the OS first. The Vista image will recreate all drive partition information and restore the machine to the state it was in during your last backup. Can be used in the same way Ghost and True Image are to upgrade or replace a drive.
Lots of good things in Vista – and this is certainly one of them.

High schoolers in the Hill District and Homewood neighborhoods are becoming Data Forerunners for their communities in an ongoing pilot program as they use big data to address systemic issues in their communities
The program is an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental partnership between the Schools of Social Work and Computing and Information, the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center, Pitt's Community Engagement Centers in Homewood and the Hill District and the nonprofit community organization School 2 Career. Representatives from Google also helped with skill-building on Dec. 13.
Rosta Farzan, an associate professor in the School of Computing and Information, and Jaime Booth, assistant professor in the School of Social Work, are heading the pilot program.
Farzan and Booth have a shared interest in technology and how it can support underserved communities. In the past, the two have worked on a project that involved young adults creating mobile apps to support members of their communities, Farzan said.
During the earlier project, Farzan said, the participants showed interest in connecting technology to their lives. Farzan and Booth saw the potential for more engagement and began creating the Data Forerunners project.
There are 15 to 18 high school students in the program ranging from ninth to 12th grade, Farzan said. The students in the Hill District were chosen in collaboration with School 2 Career Program Director Karla Stallworth. Booth selected students from Homewood who had already been involved in a research project involving data collection.
Big data and data collecting are relevant topics as cities and governments have begun to try and make data more accessible, Farzan said.
"There is a strong shift to understand how these open data can support (the) decision-making process and engage the citizens more in the process," Farzan said. "However, the challenges of the digital gap extend to this big data movement. Marginalized communities and individuals in those communities are often left behind, in many ways, in influencing what data is being collected, how they are represented in the data, and how data can be used to benefit them."
The Data Forerunners program was created, in part, to help marginalized communities become more informed about big data, Farzan said.
"This is the main motivation behind this project to bridge this gap and to empower marginalized communities to own their data, to generate their data stories, and to use those to advocate for changes in their communities," Farzan said.
The students are using public data to investigate community issues, including crime rates, racial disparities among Pittsburgh teachers, commuting habits and options, access to playgrounds, what affordable housing is available in Homewood and more.
These students want to use the data to help improve the lives of others in their communities, Stalworth said. Each student will turn in a project at the end of the pilot program, which will finish in the spring 2020 semester.
"They may not even realize how impactful it will be, moving forward for them," Stalworth said.
Booth said the skills students learn from the program, including coding, data visualization and data analyzation, can make them effective future community leaders and advocates.
"I think that it's just a tool in a toolbox of things that can be used," Booth said. "I don't think it's like a silver bullet for any of these issues, but it is something that the youth would be able to draw on as a strategy, I think, for advocating for change."
So far, the students have responded positively to the program, said Kirk Holbrook, director of the Hill District Community Engagement Center. Holbrook said it has the potential to help catapult careers for these students in STEM-related fields.
Booth, Farzan and Holbrook have high hopes for the program as it continues to be refined throughout its pilot phase. They hope the program will expand in the future, and that the students will spread the skills they learn onto others in their communities.
"There is significant interest in trying to see what this can become," Holbrook said. "I think there's been growth already so (I'm) just excited to see what happens."

Ramat Gan Safari Zoo
Return to Museums in Israel: Table of Contents
The Zoological Center Tel Aviv - Ramat Gan or "Safari" occupies 250 acres of nature in the heart of a densely populated urban area in Israel: "Africa in the heart of Israel".
The word "Safari" is colloquial Swahili for "journey". We invite you, our visitors, to embark on a fascinating journey into the lives of animals in the African savannah, without leaving Ramat Gan. As in their natural habitat on the continent of Africa, the animals wander freely in large herds. Like tourists in Africa, be guests of nature and watch the typical behaviour of the animals: their feeding habits, the social behaviour of the great herds, activities, and resting patterns. You will be able to see the differences between males and the females, and you may be lucky enough to witness mating rituals and power struggles, and see how females raise their offspring.
The Safari has the largest animal collection in the Middle East and is unique in the world because of the large herds of mixed species of African animals that roam the spacious African Park. The African Park and the zoo are home to 1,600 animals of different species, amongst them 68 species of mammals, 130 species of fowl, and 25 species of reptiles. The zoo contains a variety of animals from around the world. Especially notable are its breeding herds of African and Asian elephants, the gorilla, chimpanzee, and orangutan families, the hippo herd, and the pride of lions.
The Safari participates in 25 international programs for endangered species. It is a partner in breeding and reproduction programs and in research projects. The Safari is a member of international zoological organizations and cooperates in research and knowledge transfer between zoos and nature preservation organizations worldwide.
The Safari's educational purpose is to promote the conservation of nature - from the belief that we love what we know, and we preserve what we love.
Braam Malherbe, a prominent South African ecologist and rhinocerous expert, praised the Ramat Gan zoo's rhino breeding program in May 2015 during a visit. Malherbe stated that programs similar to the one at Ramat Gan zoo help prevent the very possible extinction of rhinos due to illegal hunting.
The National Park in Ramat Gan was established in 1951 by Ramat Gan mayor, Mr. Avraham Krinitzi, as part of a plan to build a green belt around the city whose name means 'Garden Heights'. Two years later, a small petting zoo was built in the park. It was supervised by Mr. Zvi Kirmeier, manager of the National Park, who later became General Manager of the Safari. In 1970, Mr. Kirmeier mentioned to Dr. Israel Peled, the mayor of Ramat Gan at the time, that Mr. Krinitzi was negotiating with Carr Hartley, wild animal dealer in Kenya, to develop an African nature reserve in Ramat Gan. The mayor was excited about the plan and so the idea was born to build a safari park on half of the National Park.
Inspired by Mr. Kirmeier, the concept was to create a large open area in which a wide range of African herbivorous animals roam freely. At the time, it was an innovative idea in the world, introduced by the Chipperfield Organization Lions of Longleat in the UK. Evidence of this unique concept is still seen today: mixed herds of animals roaming around, minimal intervention by the keepers in the animals' natural behavior, and small distances between the visitors and the animals.
Labor Pains
During the development and construction of the "New African Safari", the mayor and park manager joined an expedition to Africa to bring small herbivorous animals from West Africa back to the park. However, on seeing the savannah grasslands and the large variety of animals, they changed their goal. At the end of this adventure, they returned to Israel with a small elephant, two giraffes, ostriches, impalas, gnus, and other animals. In 1973, a massive transport of two hundred animals arrived at the Port of Eilat and they were placed into quarantine. For the first time ever in Israel, a special quarantine enclosure was built for this purpose. Despite the doubts, the animals acclimatized well to the conditions in Israel. The opening of the Safari, originally planned for 1973, was postponed because of the Yom Kippur War. During Passover in 1974, the "African Safari" opened its gates to the public and became a popular recreation spot.
Towards the end of the 70's, the municipality of Tel Aviv decided that the tiny old Tel Aviv Zoo was no longer suitable for animals or visitors. The Tel Aviv Zoo was built in 1939 and was the first zoo in Israel. The zoo was situated on valuable real estate in a small park located in a residential neighborhood. The noise and smell of the animals and the crowding of the zoo visitors created an environmental nuisance to the residents of the area. The small area and the type of cages were not suitable to the concept of an open modern zoo and the animals' needs. Today, the Tel Aviv Zoo's space is occupied by a shopping center and a residential tower. The decision to close the Tel Aviv Zoo came fortuitously just when there was interest in expanding the Zoological Center in Ramat Gan. It was decided to combine the two animal collections, on the initiative of the mayors of Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, Mr. Shlomo Lahat and Dr. Israel Peled. The new zoo within the Safari was designed by architects Miller, Blum and Lederer. A comprehensive survey was made, including trips to many zoos in Europe. Professor Lothar Dietrich, director of the Hannover Zoo in Germany acted as a consultant. The infrastructure for the new zoo and its enclosures covered approximately 150,000 sq. meters and was built with the purpose of improving the living conditions of the animals by building spacious, open enclosures. It cost around 2.5 million US dollars.
In October 1980, the zoo in Tel Aviv closed and the complicated effort of transferring the animals to their new home was undertaken. At this stage, the Safari got its new name: The Zoological Center Tel Aviv – Ramat Gan.
Today, the Safari occupies 250 acres and has the largest animal collection in the Middle East, and is unique in the world because of the large herds of mixed species of African animals that roam the spacious African Park. As the concept of zoos changes around the world, the plan is to create new, open enclosures for the animals, contributing to the animals' welfare and natural behavior and, in addition, providing visitors with a more naturalistic experience.
The Safari participates in international programs for endangered species. It is a partner in both breeding and reproduction programs and in research projects for animals, and is constantly expanding activities by educating the public.

Identify & resolve binding constraints to competitiveness in a time bound manner: Vijay Kelkar
(MENAFN- KNN India) Identify & resolve binding constraints to competitiveness in a time bound manner: Vijay Kelkar
New Delhi, Jul 15 (KNN) There is a need to identify and resolve binding constraints to competitiveness in a time bound manner, said Dr Vijay Kelkar, Former Finance Secretary and Chairman of the 13th Finance Commission of India.
He was speaking at an online panel discussion on the issue of"Improving India's Competitiveness for Inclusive Economic Growth", co-organised by CUTS International and Pune International Centre.
On this occasion, Dr Kelkar launched a White Paper prepared by CUTS International on the issue of Improving India's Competitiveness for Inclusive Economic Growth (available here), and delivered the opening remarks.
He emphasised on the need of doing things right and quickly, particularly on the economic front, considering increasing threat at the northern border, and highlighted the need to take credible steps on decarbonisation and strengthening social harmony.
Pradeep S. Mehta, Secretary General, CUTS International, while presenting the White Paper, highlighted key pillars to improve competitiveness of Indian industries.
These are: investment in human capital, enabling firm level cooperation and participation in supply chains, ensuring fair competition, fostering convergence between trade, industrial and competition policies, and implementing cooperative federalism in letter and spirit.
Dr Harsha Vardhan Singh, former DDG, WTO, pointed out that often, it is not the lack of knowledge about good policies, but absence of understanding of the mechanisms needed to implement such policies efficiently and effectively.
He highlighted the need to institutionalise high level coordination mechanisms within the government to address implementation challenges, and ensure periodic monitoring and review of such mechanisms.
Dr Ajay Shah, Research Professor, Jindal Global University, emphasised that bad drafting of laws and regulations in India is the source of bad implementation.
He pointed out that we the people are principals and the state is the agent and the relationship is not the other way round.
"Government officers often have arbitrary powers and discretion which is misused. There is a need to achieve precision in articulation of laws, designing targeted objectives, and granting narrow investigative powers," Dr Shah asserted.
Dr Ajit Ranade, Chief Economist, Aditya Birla Group, highlighted the need to double manufacturing exports for achieving the ambitious target of 10 per cent growth rate.
For this, Dr Ranade emphasized on remaining committed to openness, focusing on human capital and skilling, enhancing India's labour productivity, and adoption of National Competition Policy, would be the keys.
Puja Mehra, Economic Journalist, highlighted the need to arrive at political consensus on economic policies related to trade and competitiveness.
''There are several instances of reversal of trade liberalisation in terms of tariffs, which indicate that politics no longer believe in competitiveness,'' she added.
Dr Nagesh Kumar, Director, Institute for Studies in Industrial Development, emphasised on the need for India to join Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). This would lead to efficient structuring of industries, including adoption of economies of scale and scope, and enhancing competitiveness.
When asked, Dr Ranade supported the views expressed by Dr Kumar on joining RCEP
Bipul Chatterjee, Executive Director, CUTS International, in his closing remarks, lauded, and emphasised the need to continue, a solution driven discourse on existing problems in India's path of improving its competitiveness for enabling inclusive growth.
"We will continue to advocate with the governments, both union and state, on the crucial need to address problems and devise solutions", said Chatterjee.
''This will be the best way to come out of the economic depression due to the pandemic,'' he added.

He has never been rude or mean or short tempered or ill speaking or beastly in any way shape or form.
He has been truthful and helpful and kind even when others have not been so to him.
He is a man. A human being with thoughts and feelings uniuque to himself.
He has the capability to be a Beast and to rip to shreads people like Los who are trolls. To be mean and rude with how he points out thier blatent personal sins.
He will lay the truth kindly at there feet and let them take the dose if they will.
I trust that if I am wrong he will let me know. Or anyone.
That does mean a lot to me because its a rare thing to know someone with such strong personal intergrity.
That doesnt mean I dont question what he says or swollow his words unthinking like a sheep.
I have deeply thought about somethings he has said that didnt sit right with me.
Ive yet to find anything to disagree about after deeper concideration.
Jim and Takamba, two men Ive never met in real life have gifted me with the abilty to trust that not all people are selfish as sholes and genuinely care about other people.
Yeah. I know. I get it. You think he's the bee's knees, along with Jim. OK. That's why I said what I did.
You made this a whole new thread?
My mom used to say Bees Knees all the time.
Bees knees are some thing small and seemingly insigfigant.
Bees knees are made up nonsence. Non existance.
Bees knees are some thing one thinks of as the best.
maybe jim and takamba are one of these. Maybe they are all of them. Maybe they arnt any of them and are something completely different.
I know your a clever man.
You think I think they are the bees knees.
And you think this is worthy of a whole new thread?
Dicuss as you need I suppose.
Ill kindly keep my thoughts to myself and on myself where they belong.

I made a new thread only because I said to Nineborn in his thread that I wouldn't "re-route" (see bottom of linked post) his thread anymore. I made this thread for discussion arising from points brought up in that thread that weren't pertinent to his OP. That's all. Just practicing what I preach. Nothing more, nothing less.
You wanna know what else I think is the Bees Knees?
The picture released this week of a real black hole.
Now thats something worth talking about!

And thus what does "he" (insert any human being we are attempting to relate with) project back at me tgat would drive me to feel that he has ....such and such qualities?


Dustin and I have very different opinions on sweet potatoes. I love the sweet starch, and consuming something orange makes me feel a little bit better about myself and my vegetable eating habits. For Dustin, I know that sweet potatoes are just a sad excuse imitating a regular potato. The other night while on a cold evening walk, we had a lengthy discussion over whether restaurants should call "sweet potato fries," fries at all, because in his opinion, using that word with anything except regular potatoes sets you up for disappointment. I don't necessarily agree. I quite like the taste and texture of a good sweet potato fry, but I relented to appease folks like Dustin so "sweet potato fries" shall be renamed "sweet potato sticks" (at least in this household) to reduce potential dinner letdowns.

My interest in wrought iron began with my father. He was an engineer, a machine designer, and a master iron worker. My father created the "Iron Rose" and he passed the secret of making it to me.
I still use the "Iron Rose" in my designs, but lately I seem to have transformed my creations into using simpler, more basic shapes and lines. I find inspiration in natural curves and in the texture of the steel itself.
I use 13th Century technology, that is, my hands, a hammer, an anvil, steel bands, and rivets. Each piece is shaped and fitted one at a time. Some of my more complex candle holders have taken over a year to complete.
I also work with wooden projects. Lately walking sticks caught my interest. I enjoy working with wood and I cannot wait to begin my next project.
My creations have found homes mainly in the Santa Clara Valley, in San Francisco, and in Martha's Vineyard, and also in Scotland.
For more information contact me at: jedwardnajera@hotmail.com or, my Facebook page.
This is a recent creation. When I started it I did not know when I would be finished. I first made the frame and then I put the tree into it. As I spent more time on this I liked it more and more. The frame is 0.5″ x 0.5″. It is 48 inches wide by 36 inches top to bottom.
This is my first wrought iron project. I made it in 1965. I was 17 at the time. It is inspired by the shape of a Champaign glass.


Around 23 thousand chickens were killed in a barn fire in Ospel, Limburg during the early hours of Thursday morning. The chickens could not be saved, the Limburg fire department said, ANP reports.
The fire started shortly after midnight in the barn of a company on Ommelpad. Firefighters managed to stop it spreading to two adjacent barns. No person was hurt.
Bird flu was diagnosed in chickens on a poultry farm in Sint Philipsland, which forms part of the Zeeland municipality of Tholen. The company's approximately 42 thousand laying hens were culled, NOS reports.
The authorities believe that this diagnosis involves a mild variant of the H5 virus. But as a mild variant can mutate into a highly contagious and deadly variant, European rules require the culling of affected animals.
Dutch food and consumer product safety authority NVWA added codes of another 14 poultry companies to its list of eggs contaminated with toxic insecticide fipronil. Foods that contain contaminated eggs are safe to eat, according to the federation of the Dutch foodstuffs industry FNLI based on its own research, NU.nl reports.
Wakker Dier announced on Sunday that from August on, no plofkip will be used anymore in baby food of the drugstore chain Kruidvat.
Kruidvat writes in a letter to Wakker Dier that 'the use of plofkip is not in accordance with the aim, to choose as much as possible for responsible ingredients'. A plofkip is a chicken which is brought in a short time to a desired weight, with all kind of negative effects for the chicken itself.


In my previous job I used to travel to Hong Kong twice a year. Great place to go out, but not great shopping: all overpriced luxury brands or, at the other end of the spectrum, hard-sell tailors that would offer a 'bespoke' suit in 24 hours. So it was just my luck that the year I stopped visiting, Mark Cho set up The Armoury, a great menswear emporium just across the road from the office, in the Pedder Building.
Like any good emporium, it is a focused selection by a man with uncompromising views. It also stocks some familiar names with some less familiar ones. So alongside Drake's, John Smedley and Gazinao & Girling, we have Florentine tailor Liverano & Liverano, Spanish shoemaker Carmina and glasses maker Nackymade.
I know Carmina fairly well, but not Liverano or Nackymade, so it's fortunate that both will be in London at the end of this week as part of an Armoury pop-up shop. Antonio Liverano (top), founder and head cutter at the bespoke tailor will be there to show off his work and take any orders that men are inspired to make. And Naoki Nakagawa, the craftsman behind Nackymade glasses, will be equally receptive.
Liverano's tailoring style is described as closer to the Milanese style than Neapolitan, being clean and sharp in construction, but with a certain unique eye for texture and colour – classic without being dowdy is the phrase used. Nakagawa, on the other hand, is a one-man operation from Kobe who specialises in bespoke designs and sizes – if you have trouble finding glasses that fit, he may be worth a visit.
The shop will be at the Rook & Raven Gallery, 7/8 Rathbone Place, just north of Tottenham Court Road tube, from this Friday to Sunday. The plan is that all Armoury artisans will visit over the next few months, and obviously the tailors will be back for fittings.
You can follow the discussion on Liverano and Nackymade at The Armoury in London by entering your email address in the box below. You will then receive an email every time a new comment is added. These will also contain a link to a page where you can stop the alerts, and remove all of your related data from the site.
Neapolitan tailoring is the most different from an English style: very soft, little or no shoulder padding, often a sleeve shoulder, a lot of curve to the outbreast and hip pockets. Milanese retains some of this softness but is more similar to English style in its sharpness of cut and classic shoulder line, sleeve attachment etc.
Simon, You say you know Carmina (Albadalejo) "fairly well". How do their shoes compare in your opinion with Vass, G&G, EG, etc.?
I've been to their stores in Madrid a few times, talked to the management there and tried the shoes on, but I don't own a pair – so I don't think I can make a straight comparison with EG, G&G etc.

As long as we can wait for another five minutes to take Aleees' electric bus. Each passenger can reduce CO2 emissions by 128 tons each year while saving 50,000 liters of diesel fuel. Although hybrid electric buses seem to save more energy and reduce carbon emission than diesel buses. In fact, the hybrid electric buses can only increase the fuel efficiency by 25% and it will still emit CO2.
Aleees has the strength of manufacturing the cathode material. By integrating the upstream and downstream industrial resources, and innovates battery which can meet operation's demands, reduce the cost of electric bus, and achieves the goal of electric bus could be popularized. Aleees cooperates with SONY to manufactures battery cells, and innovates the " best heart" of electric bus. Simens is another partner of Aleees, according to Siemens' professional electronic control and vehicle safety technology, Aleees has set up Taiwan's first "battery swapping system low-floor electric bus" which is completely powered by electricity. It does not produce any carbon dioxide while running and has no harm to the environment. By integrating with the existing mass transit system, a zero-carbon emission and pollution free "green transportation network" can be achieved.
Assume that a city diesel bus is running for a fixed distance of approximately 200 kilometers everyday which is equivalent to the travel distance of 9 - 10 cars per day, that is, the carbon emission from a diesel bus is approximately a total carbon emissions from 10 cars. In addition, the bus is one of the public transportation with a number of passengers equivalent to the total of passengers for several cars. If the present diesel buses and hybrid buses are replaced with electric buses, not only the carbon emissions can be reduced, but also the carbon emissions per capita can be thus significantly reduced to achieve the goal of carbon reduction and to leave us a comfortable and clean living environment.
In terms of the calculation based on energy consumption. If the current number of diesel buses are 4000 in the entire Taipei City. For the travel distance of 200 km per day, one diesel bus may consume 31,755 liters of diesel fuel and CO2 emissions are approximately 87 tons. For 4000 buses, the total CO2 emissions of 350,000 tons, Aleees believes the urban area "green transport network" can be the high dependence on the petroleum and the impact on the environment by human if we can replace diesel buses with electric buses as well as coordinate with other public transportation.
Aleees' electric Buses have eliminated conventional complicated transmission system and proposed a dual power technology. By integrating Siemens' electrical system design for a lifespan of 20 years to reduce the energy loss coming from the road surface condition so as to allow each part of the energy to be utilized completely. By eliminating the conventional transmission system, the space can be regained for the passengers. Accordingly, the low-floor electric buses could be constructed to facilitate the convenience for the elders, the children, the pregnant and the disables to get on/off the bus.
In addition, Aleees' electric buses not only have the advantage of zero emissions of carbon dioxide but also have much higher economic values than the conventional diesel buses. In simple terms, the operating cost for pure-electric buses is only about one-tenth of that for diesel buses. Although the initial purchase cost is relatively higher, Aleees promotes the battery swapping system that allows electric buses not to worry about the low battery or any problem that may occur. The battery swapping system further shows Aleees' confidence and strength on its cathode material which can minimize the initial one-time cost by battery leasing so that the overall cost of electric buses is equivalent to the existing diesel buses. In this way, the industry and government's cost pressures can be reduced.


Do you have a love-hate relationship with food? In the rush of day-to-day obligations, do healthy meals fall low on the radar? Do you often eat quickly, standing up, on the go, or in front of the television? Bad eating habits can affect you negatively, in so many ways. With the New Year, it's time to take a step back and be present with your food, to eat slowly, and savor life deliciously.
Mindful Eating (also known as Intuitive Eating) is an ancient practice based on the idea that we should be consciousness about what we are eating and why. When you pay attention, you enjoy food more and recognize your body's natural cues for hunger and fullness more effectively. So instead of scarfing down something because you are stressed, in a hurry, or need emotional comfort, you intentionally make a more nourishing choice and eat it slowly and purposefully.
A recent study tracking more than 1,400 mindful eaters showed impressive results. The study participants had lower body weights, a greater sense of well-being, and fewer symptoms of eating disorders. But Mindful Eating only works if you make the decision to stick with it day to day. It's one of the healthiest decisions you can make! Pay close attention to these tips and begin practicing Mindful Eating today — it's time to love food again!
Determine why you are hungry. Are you craving something for emotional or nutritional reasons? What does your body need? Take a few deep breaths to relax and focus before you begin.
How can you connect with each bite while the TV is blaring in the background? Turn down loud music, turn off the phone, and tone down excessive talking. If you are away from home, find a comfortable, quiet place to enjoy your meal.
Eating is not a race. Chew each bite at least 50 times. Eating slowly and purposefully helps break down food so you can digest it easily, giving your body the nutrients you need without overeating. Pause every now and then to determine your fullness level. Stop when you are comfortably satisfied but not stuffed.
Eating slowly allows you to savor each bite, and you may even notice new flavors you missed before. Mindful eaters actually enjoy food more! And when you are aware of what you are eating and why, you make better choices, leaving you feeling good instead of guilty.
Mindful Eating also means knowing where your food came from, be it farm or grocery store. Understanding how your food got to your table gives you an appreciation for what you will be putting into your body and will help change your shopping and eating habits for good.
Show gratitude for the food you have. Reflect and acknowledge what it will do to nourish you body. Growing a loving relationship with your food is an important part of Mindful Eating. After all, food is truly the best medicine!

Q: Rollup with absolute Typescript imports
*

*Source: here: https://github.com/arvigeus/roll-on-slow

*Output bundle: dist

*Build log: build.log
Rollup bundles it fine, but it throws some warnings for wrong source maps (Error when using sourcemap for reporting an error: Can't resolve original location of error.). The root of the problem seems to be @babel/preset-react development: true (setting it false makes the warning disappear). Am I doing something wrong, or this is expected behavior? The generated code seems fine to me...
There is also a warning about 'this' has been rewritten to 'undefined', seems related because it disappears when switching off that option.

A: At the end, I decided to disable development: true and set it to false. Definitely it should not be true when building libraries.


Notes: After behaving itself perfectly on the journey home from Newcastle yesterday, I went to start the car this morning and it didn't want to know. Argh! Why does it always happen when you want to go somewhere urgently? So I ended up getting the bus to the station and train into London and out again to Elstree – taking around two hours each way, rather than the 50-odd minutes it would have been to drive, and arriving late. This was made on the bus in the evening, heading back home after a day which would have been far less stressful had things gone differently. No Photoshop here, just a trick of reflections where I was sitting at the front.
Notes: I walked into Chelmsford today to run a few errands. The steely grey sky was a good foil for the aluminium skin on the Sally Army Citadel and tree reflected in the window along Parkway. And then a grey car came along too! Perfect.
Notes: It was a lovely afternoon so I set off to Matching to have a walk. The farmhouse here looked splendid reflected in the little pond in the front garden.
Notes: I was in Colchester again today to give a couple of training sessions for clients this afternoon and evening. But I had a bit of time this morning for a very cold and foggy walk around Wivenhoe Park, the campus for the University of Essex. Dad worked there for many years before he retired, and I used to know it well, but I haven't visited and had a good walk around for at least 10 years. It has changed quite a lot since then, with new buildings springing up all over the place. This is a reflection of the new Students' Centre in one of the big lakes. I liked the way it was cantilevered to apparently float above the water. I was also very surprised to see the old Routemaster bus in the distance – it was a long way from home! But "home" is now apparently here as a static snack bar selling bacon butties to passing students. It provided a welcome splash of colour in an otherwise fairly limited palette.


Cancer scientists overestimate the extent to which high-profile preclinical studies can be successfully replicated, new research publishing June 29 in the open access journal PLOS Biology by Jonathan Kimmelman and colleagues from McGill University suggests.
The findings are based on a survey in which both experts and novices were asked to predict whether mouse experiments in six prominent preclinical cancer studies conducted by the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology (RP:CB) would reproduce the effects observed in original studies.
On average, the researchers forecasted a 75% probability of replicating statistical significance, and a 50% probability of reproducing the same size effect as in the original study. Yet according to these criteria, none of the six studies already completed by the Reproducibility Project (the last of which was published this week in eLife) showed the same results previously reported.
The work follows on numerous reports exploring biomedicine's so-called reproducibility crisis. In the last 10 or 15 years, there have been mounting concerns that some of the techniques and practices used in biomedical research lead to inaccurate assessments of a drug's clinical promise.
Given that not all studies reproduce, Kimmelman and his team wondered if cancer experts could at least sniff out which studies would not easily replicate. The finding that cancer researchers' ability to do so "was really limited" suggests that there may be inefficiencies in the process by which science "self-corrects."
There is however strong community concern that, due to process-related issues and potential methodological differences, the replication studies themselves may not be an entirely reliable measure of replication outcome. Kimmelman emphasizes that the findings don't indicate that scientists who participated in the study don't understand what's going on their field - nor does it diminish the importance of funding research and making policy on the basis of scientific consensus. Some scientists were highly accurate in their predictions, and participants were new to forecasting, which can be challenging.
"If the research community believes a finding to be reliable, it might start building on that finding only to later discover the foundations are rotten. If scientists suspect a claim to be spurious, they are more likely to test that claim directly before building on it."
"This is the first study of its type, but it warrants further investigation to understand how scientists interpret major reports," Kimmelman says. "I think there is probably good reason to think that some of the problems we have in science are not because people are sloppy at the bench, but because there is room for improvement in the way they interpret findings."

This gown is beautiful and worth every penny. As with my previous purchase I will need slight adjustments by my seamstress but that is my own decision not to order by using my specific measurements. Wonderful!
The material is beautiful and it is a really well fitting dress. The only complaints I have is that it is longer than the measurements suggest, and I will need to get it taken up. Other than that I'm really pleased with it. It is just gorgeous.
Ladies, this dress has exceeded all my expectations. I was so afraid to order but very glad I did. The craftsmanship of this dress is absolutely amazing!!

El Forn de Can Noguera és una obra de Vidreres (Selva) inclosa a l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.

Descripció
Es tracta de les restes d'un forn antic de planta circular i situat en un vessant de la muntanya, aprofitant el desnivell. Actualment té el sostre caigut, però el cobria, presumiblement, una volta de pedra, les restes de la qual encara es poden observar al terra de l'interior del forn. La boca del forn, l'única entrada original del forn, està formada per una obertura emmarcada de pedra mal desvastada i de forma quadrada d'un metre i mig de costat.

Història
El funcionament del forn s'ha de vincular amb els treballs agrícoles, ramaders i bosquetans de la propietat de Can Mundet, prop de l'antic mas de Can Noguera. Segons alguns coneixedors del terreny i per similitud a d'altres forns documentats a la zona de Santa Coloma, el forn seria de pega, per destil·lació de socs de pi vell, i no pas de calç o vidre.

The number of elephants in Etosha National Park is around 2000. The most usual appearance is small family units and bull herds. A large herds are made up of small units, each unit consisting of a matriarch, several adult cows and offspring of different ages. Grown up young bulls are forced out of these units at the age of about 12-15 years and later they join bull herds. The tasks of elephants in Etosha which are actually two upper front teeth do not attain significant lengths mostly attributable to mineral deficiency. Another reason is that elephants use the tasks for digging up a roots and breaking the tips of tasks in process.
The Etosha elephants are regarded as tallest in Africa. To regulate the body temperature they often use stomach water spraying it over the body or using large ears as radiators continually flopping them. Elephants have only four molars in use at a time. As these are worn down they get replaced by new ones. Elephants can be destructive around waterholes and the surrounding areas can be severely damaged and deforested.
The diet of elephants consists of grass, bark of tree branches, leaves, roots and fruits. The average elephant eats approximately 230 kilograms of fodder per day and drinks up to 180 litres of water. One (very seldom two) calve is born after a 22-month gestation period. Elephant can weight up to 6000 kilograms and has a shoulder height up to 3 meters. There are approximately 10 000 elephants in Namibia although they became almost extinct at the end of last century due to hunting and poaching. Most of the population of elephants occurs in the north-eastern parts of the country.
At the conference of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) that has been held in Kenya recently the decision to delay ivory sales for the period of two years has been taken.
Desert-dwelling elephants in the north-western part of Namibia are special for several reasons. They are one group of only two known populations of desert-dwelling elephants in the world. The other group is in Mali. They are uniquely adopted to extremely dry and sandy conditions - they have a smaller bodies and larger feet than other elephants. By the 1980's most of 3000 elephants that lived in Namibia's Kunene Region were killed by hunters and poachers. Because of measures that were taken to protect desert elephants their population is approximately 600 at the moment.
Their diet is varied and changes from wet to dry seasons. Most popular species include Commiphora, Mopane tree, Ana tree.
All potential visitors to areas where desert elephants can be found have to remember that these animals have poor eyesight but good hearing and smell. Elephants can also move very fast. The visitors must stay quiet in their vehicles, never chase elephants when they move away, view elephants from downwind side and allow a distance of 100 metres between them, never drive in the night, leave the area if animal appears to be nervous.
