Q: StringIO appears to behave different when initialising from a buffer as opposed to writing data into it line by line I'm trying to read some data and parse it out as CSV. The data format in question comes with a wacky first line that I first need to get rid of.
delimiter = None
with open('data.csv', 'r', encoding='latin1') as fd:
    input1 = io.StringIO(fd.read())

with open('data.csv', 'r', encoding='latin1') as fd:
    input2 = io.StringIO()
    for line in fd:
        if line.startswith('sep='):
            delimiter = line[4]
        else:
            input2.write(line)

with open('data.csv', 'r', encoding='latin1') as fd:
    buf = ''
    for line in fd:
        if line.startswith('sep='):
            delimiter = line[4]
        else:
            buf += line
    input3 = io.StringIO(buf)

In the case that I do actually add in that first line, then input1.getvalue() == input2.getvalue() == input3.getvalue(). And if I don't then at least input2.getvalue() == input3.getvalue().
Then comes the CSV bit:
inputReader = csv.DictReader(inputX, delimiter=delimiter or ';')
for row in inputReader:
    print(row)

This works for input1, but due to the wacky first line it messes up the column names, as expected.
It works for input3, with correct column names. I'm curious though as to why the for loop doesn't return any results for input2. What's the difference between input2 and input3 at that point?

A: input2 is positioned at the end of the "file", whereas constructing a StringIO from a string directly places the file position at the start.
To fix the input2 code, seek back to the start once you're done writing:
input2.seek(0)

Quezon City transitions to clean construction
CBI Member Buro Happold and C40 Cities have launched the fourth report in a series of Clean Construction deep dives. These reports support cities in resourcing efficient, net zero construction to deliver healthy, resilient and thriving urban communities.
The engineering, architecture and construction industry has a huge role to play in bringing about positive social, economic and environmental change. Almost 40% of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to buildings and construction.
The built environment is therefore critical to addressing the climate and biodiversity emergency. We must unite as a sector to drive change. Failure to reduce the impact of construction in our cities poses a serious risk to the environment.
Clean Construction in our cities
As a result, C40 Cities launched its global Clean Construction Programme in 2019. The programme supports cities to mitigate the impact of construction, strengthen resilience to climate risks, and facilitate dialogue within the industry.
A series of deep dives into six cities around the world — developed in partnership with Buro Happold — take this one step further. The reports provide local, actionable advice to help city leaders make the case for Clean Construction. They also offer guidance for other cities around the world. The deep dive for Quezon City, in the Philippines, is the fourth report in the series.
A green and equitable future for Quezon City
The Quezon City Government (QCG) has set ambitious climate action goals and is part of multiple national and international working groups focused on delivering bold climate action.
The QCG has developed a number of locally specific plans and commitments, such as the Enhanced Local Climate Change Action Plan 2021-2050, which sets out a strategic framework and roadmap to build climate resilience, pursue carbon neutrality, and advance green economic development through inclusive and equitable climate action.
"With strong expertise in the retrofit of buildings and an effective (albeit informal) construction waste recycling system, Quezon City is primed for a Clean Construction transition. Having an extensive ability to use a range of hard and soft powers, the Quezon City Government is uniquely placed to lead such a transition."
Fergus Anderson, Sustainability Associate at Buro Happold
Transitioning to Clean Construction
The construction sector is a major employer in Quezon City, across both the formal and informal sectors. Quezon City is grappling with a number of challenges linked to a growing population, climate resilience, informality and wealth inequality, a limited focus on preventative maintenance and an emerging skills gap in the construction sector.
However, the city is also home to a culture of reuse and retrofit, and has developed ambitious local building codes – albeit with limited uptake – that consider embodied carbon. Quezon City, and the Philippines more broadly, has significant experience in retrofit and refurbishment of buildings due to the country's seismic risks.
In recent years, municipal buildings such as the high rise Quezon City Hall have been retrofit to strengthen the foundation and make them more resistant to seismic activity, the Department of Public Works and Highways has upgraded hundreds of structures across Metro Manila to reduce damage from climate-related events, and the Philippines Heritage Awards annually celebrates adaptive reuse; recognising projects that utilise buildings and other built-structures for purposes other than what they were intended originally.
Download the detailed policy infographic
How can Clean Construction support Quezon City?
Implementing policies that reduce carbon emissions from both building and infrastructure construction can support many social and environmental co-benefits, not just locally but also on a global scale.
The localised benefits of Clean Construction include:
Designing new buildings and streets to accommodate increased climate risks, as well as undertaking retrofit and refurbishment today, will ensure the safety of current and future inhabitants of Quezon City to flooding and overheating, and protect the valuation of assets following these events.
Adaptive reuse can retain community identity and foster local pride, whilst minimising disruption to local communities.
Green and biodiverse spaces have also been found to provide mental and physical health benefits, reduce local crime rates, and increase land and property values.
New industries for low carbon construction materials and waste processing will create jobs locally, and support the stabilisation of the informal sector, providing workers with stable sources of income and low-income communities with safer homes.
The global benefits of Clean Construction include:
Encouraging sustainable production and consumption practices
Increasing citizen awareness of environmental and health issues
Mitigating greenhouse gases and emissions
Driving economic innovation, dynamism and competitiveness
Fostering inclusive, just and transparent governance
"Extending the lifespan of buildings and developing build-sustainable supply chains can improve the quality of housing and build healthier communities. Our recommendations to raise awareness and knowledge of clean construction techniques will help establish secure, safe and just working conditions."
A sustainable future for our cities
All these positive outcomes are inextricably linked. To address the need for greater social and environmental justice, cities have a critical role to play in spearheading the vision and leadership needed to facilitate this transition.
The proposed Clean Construction policies for Quezon City will be applicable, to varying degrees, to all cities around the world.
Buro Happold and C40 are working with five other cities around the world to make the case for Clean Construction. This work forms part of the C40 Clean Construction Declaration. These cities have committed to reducing the embodied emissions associated with the construction of buildings and infrastructure by 50% by 2030.
More information about Clean Construction can be found on the C40 Knowledge Hub.

Shell in UK-China battery investment deal
CBI member, Shell has announced that it has agreed a multi-year, power offtake deal with two Chinese state-owned enterprises invested in two 50MW batteries located in the town of Minety in Wiltshire. Shell plans to use the batteries to provide back-up power to the national grid.
The energy facility in Minety comprises of two 50MW batteries and is being developed by CNIC – China's sovereign wealth fund – and state utility firm, China Huaneng Group. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. The Minety project will be built using more than 80% China-made equipment, China Huaneng said, when it announced the start of construction on the project at the end of December.
David Wells, Shell Energy Europe, vice president, said: ""Projects like this will be vital for balancing the UK's electricity demand and supply as wind and solar power play bigger roles in powering our lives. […] Batteries are uniquely suited to optimising power supplies as the UK moves towards a net-zero carbon system."
Power from the project, designed to balance intermittent wind and solar output on the UK grid, will be traded by Shell's specialist Limejump subsidiary, which is claimed to manage the largest network of batteries in the UK. The deal marks the latest inroad into the power sector by Shell, whose interests in renewables and clean energy now include major solar developments, offshore wind project stakes, the floating wind pioneer Eolfi and Tesla's rival in the battery storage space, Sonnen.

Nottingham Ningbo University & Shanghai Institute designing new generation batteries
Salt is key ingredient for cheaper and more efficient batteries
A new design of rechargeable battery, created using salt, could lead the way for greener energy. Researchers at CBI member the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) have joined forces with a specialist group at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP), Chinese Academy of Sciences on designs for the novel energy store which allows for greater power while also lasting longer than conventional batteries.
Growing demand for electric vehicles and more sustainable forms of transport means finding new forms of energy storage such as batteries, super-capacitators and fuel cells. Currently a major challenge facing the industry is the poor performance quality of rechargeable batteries which often lose energy and power too quickly over time.
The collaboration team is led by Professor Jiangiang Wang, an expert in molten salts chemistry at SINAP, and Professor George Chen, Li Dak Sum Chair Professor in Electrochemical Technologies at UNNC, and has worked to design a possible solution outlined in a paper published in the journal ChemSusChem.
The paper, A Rechargeable High-Temperature Molten Salt Iron-Oxygen Battery, outlines research carried out using a novel and affordable rechargeable iron-oxygen battery containing a bi-phase electrolyte of molten carbonate and solid oxide. The first author of the paper, Dr Cheng Peng pointed out that the new design merges the merits of a solid-oxide fuel cell and molten metal-air battery, offering significantly improved battery reaction kinetics and power capability without compromising the energy capacity.
Professor Chen said: "Currently, the major challenge to rechargeable metal–oxygen batteries resides in the sluggish kinetics of electrode reactions, resulting in low energy and power densities. Therefore, activation of the reactions of both the negative and positive electrodes is crucial for high-performance re-chargeable metal–oxygen batteries."
The solution to this challenge as confirmed by the team's work is innovative but simple and low cost. Professor Wang explained: "We looked at elevating the working temperature of the metal-oxygen battery using metals such as iron as a base as this can be activated at a high temperature and keeps the cost low. Solid oxide fuel cells use tin or bismuth as negative electrode materials, but one issue was metal oxides forming between the metal and solid electrolyte and impeding the ion conductivity."
Dr Peng added: "One type of high temperature metal-oxygen battery is the so called molten air battery which can use base metals for fast multiple electron charge transfer in molten salts. The molten salts have the capability to dissolve metal oxides. Our proposal looked at a molten salt iron-oxygen battery with a bi-phase electrolyte of molten carbonate and solid oxide which merges the merits of both types of battery.
"The result was a low-cost and long service life rechargeable high-temperature molten salt iron-oxygen battery with both high energy storage capacity and fast charging and discharging power capability."
The team behind the new design anticipate that the new battery has a great potential application in the area of grid-scale and renewable energy storage. Professor Chen, who is also leading a molten salt electrolysis laboratory in Nottingham, said that the new research behind the battery design has multiple applications. For example, molten salts are the ideal storage fluid for solar heat at high temperatures. Therefore, the molten salt iron-oxygen battery is in principle capable of storage of both the solar heat and electricity, which is very much desirable for both domestic and industrial energy needs.

EU Leaders Turn to China After Trump Visit Clouds U.S. Relations
China Direct would like to thank CBI member Bloomberg and Peter Martin pmartin138@bloomberg.net at their Beijing Bureau for sharing this note on EU-China relations.
'Even as Trump hammers away at Transatlantic solidarity, the EU and China can't hide their differences.
The EU-China Summit is opening today in Brussels and - unlike last year - will likely produce a nice-sounding joint statement and perhaps even some real solidarity on climate change.
But, beneath the surface, European officials share many of the same frustrations with China's trade and investment regime as the Trump administration, even if they don't express themselves with equal bluster.
The trajectory seems likely to be toward the kind of world that McMaster and Cohn described in their op-ed on Trumpian foreign policy this week: "an arena where nations, non-governmental actors and businesses engage and compete for advantage..."

London Taxi Company announces Zhejiang Geely raises US$400 million in green bond issuance
CBI member London Taxi Company (LTC) announced that Zhejiang Geely Holding Group priced the first-ever green bond on the offshore market from a Chinese automobile company, raising US$400 million to support the development of zero-emission capable vehicles by its U.K. subsidiary, LTC, manufacturer of the iconic London Black Cab.
The senior unsecured bonds, issued through Zhejiang Geely's wholly-owned subsidiary LTC GB Ltd., carry a fixed interest rate of 2.75% per annum with a tenor of five years, which is the lowest coupon ever amongst the USD bonds issued by Greater China's auto companies.
The final order book of over US$2.3 billion represented an oversubscription ratio of close to six times. Zhejiang Geely will use the net proceeds from the green bond to finance or refinance the design, development, and production of zero-emission capable vehicles by LTC.
Zhejiang Geely is investing £300 million in LTC's new research and production facility in Ansty in the West Midlands to develop the next-generation London taxi, the TX5. The new model was unveiled last October in London in the presence of President Xi Jinping during his state visit to the U.K.
The TX5 is a zero-emission capable vehicle and will be launched in the U.K. at the end of 2017 and in international markets in 2018. The vehicle will hence be compliant with new environmental requirements being introduced in London.
LTC is also working on several zero-emission model concepts, including light commercial vehicles as part of Zhejiang Geely's plans to significantly raise production at LTC and position it as a leading manufacturer of green and environmentally friendly transportation.

This publication constitutes the completely refereed post-proceedings of the 3rd overseas Workshop on set of rules Engineering and Experimentation, ALENEX 2001, held in Washington, DC, united states in January 2001.
The 15 revised complete papers awarded including the abstracts of 3 invited displays have undergone rounds of reviewing and revision and have been chosen from 31 submissions. one of the subject matters addressed are heuristics for approximation, community optimization, TSP, randomization, sorting, info retrieval, graph computations, tree clustering, scheduling, community algorithms, aspect set computations, looking out, and knowledge mining.
Ion beams were used for many years for characterizing and studying fabrics. Now full of life ion beams are delivering how you can regulate the fabrics in exceptional methods. This booklet highlights the emergence of high-energy quick heavy ions as a device for tailoring the houses of fabrics with nanoscale buildings.
Those complaints current technical papers chosen from the 2012 overseas convention on clever structures and data Engineering (ISKE 2012), hung on December 15-17 in Beijing. the purpose of this convention is to assemble specialists from assorted fields of workmanship to debate the cutting-edge in clever platforms and data Engineering, and to provide new findings and views on destiny advancements.
Because of an ever-decreasing offer in uncooked fabrics and stringent constraints on traditional power assets, call for for light-weight, effective and coffee expense buildings has turn into crucially very important in smooth engineering layout. This calls for engineers to go looking for optimum and powerful layout ideas to handle layout difficulties which are usually huge in scale and hugely nonlinear, making discovering ideas hard.
This booklet is a part of a collection of books which bargains complicated scholars successive characterization instrument levels, the learn of every kind of part (liquid, fuel and reliable, natural or multi-component), technique engineering, chemical and electrochemical equilibria, and the houses of surfaces and stages of small sizes.
In this paper we attempt to begin a more comprehensive study of the ATSP. The few previous studies of the ATSP that have made an attempt at covering multiple algorithms [Rep94, Zha93, Zha00, GGYZ] have had several drawbacks. First, the classes of test instances studied have not been well-motivated in comparison to those studied in the case of the symmetric TSP. For the latter problem the standard testbeds are instances from TSPLIB [Rei91] and randomlygenerated two-dimensional point sets, and algorithmic performance on these instances seems to correlate well with behavior in practice.

Which came first? Swamp Thing or Man-Thing?
In a way this amounts to a trick question, because The Heap, which debuted in a 1942 edition of Airboy Comics, beat them both by thirty years. Evidently the comics have long had an affinity for anthropomorphic swamp monsters and, even in regard to their own signature sentient peat bogs, neither DC nor Marvel got the jump each other. While Marvel's Man-Thing appears to have had a two month edge on DC, first appearing in a May 1971 anthology called Savage Tales #1, Mark Engblom over at Comic Coverage argues that, in the world of comic publishing, this doesn't mean all that much.
At this point, you might be thinking "Hey, Man-Thing beat Swamp Thing by a full two months!" Ah, but remember, in the comic book biz it typically takes three to four months to create and print a comic book from start to finish...so the two month gap between Savage Tales #1 and House of Secrets #92 tells us that DC wouldn't have had a prayer creating a Man-Thing knock-off in such a short period of time.
The history of swamp men in comics is pretty interesting and Engblom's short and sweet article on the subject is a nice little overview of these marshy curiosities.


At Key Stage 3, food technology will instil a love of cooking in students and will open the door to creativity.
Students are taught how to cook and apply the principles of nutrition and healthy eating. Cooking is an essential life skill and the students will be introduced to the methods necessary to feed themselves and others well, both now and in later life.
Students will build up a repertoire of savoury and sweet dishes to help develop a healthy and varied diet. They will become competent in a range of cooking techniques and will learn how to adapt and use their own recipes.
Students will also be encouraged to look at the sources, seasonality and characteristics of a broad range of ingredients, as well as the effects of different cultures on food choices.
The written element within the course is a requirement of the national curriculum and must be completed by all students.
Skills learned will also form the basis for a GCSE in food preparation and nutrition.

Write a testimonial. Maggie is a wonderful woman who puts her heart and soul into her passionate services. Feel free to leave a note for Maggie here.
Just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you to you on behalf of my family for your work at my dad's service. To be honest, I was really having trouble envisioning your role but now I could not imagine how we could have gone ahead without a celebrant – and particularly without you personally. You did an amazing job and so many people commented to me about how wonderful they thought you were. Although the fractures in my family were clear for a number of people to see and several of us were really curious how everything was going to unfold, the words you said and your calm, caring and peaceful voice really pulled everything together for us all in such a nice way.
Now being aware of what a Celebrant is, I was thinking how interesting your role must be. You come into the life of a family as a stranger and by the end of the day could be considered part of the family sharing in a very intimate and personal family celebration. At least that's how I felt with you there – it felt like you were meant to be there and you were so warm and passionate – Dad would have loved to meet you. I'm sure he had a little smile on his face throughout the service.
Thank you for being there for us on our special day – and thank you in general for doing what you do – what an honourable role you play.
My dad is very happy with what you've shared. He was particularly pleased and commented about the scriptures. Thank you, for fulfilling our wishes. We are truly grateful and appreciate all that you have done for our family. We will be mindful that you also officiate weddings and baby naming ceremony's. Wow what a beautiful gift you have.
I just wanted to thank you again for the beautiful ceremony for our mom on Saturday!
I'd like to thank you for the wonderful service you delivered yesterday.
Our family thought it was the best and most personal service we have ever heard.
On behalf of my family, I just wanted to express how grateful we are for having as the celebrant at Anthony's service on Saturday. You set the tone for a lovely, heartfelt and personal service. It must be your true calling, to be able to create that atmosphere of genuine caring, even though you didn't know our brother. Your warmth and gentle manner made everyone who attended feel comfortable, and with that, free to truly express their feelings in the moment. We will certainly keep your offer of counsel in mind in the months ahead, and know that you are an important part of our moving forward.
On behalf of my family I would like to say thank you again for leading our ceremony yesterday. Your speech was very touching and you really captured all the beautiful things about our family and grandma. I received many positive comments about you from our guests yesterday. I just wanted to let you know that your work is very impactful in helping families heal during a difficult time. You are very good at what you do and I wouldn't have changed a single thing. Thank you so much for everything. We truly appreciate your sincere effort in making our ceremony a positive one.
The Magnolias in my backyard bloomed yesterday and without any hesitation I automatically thought of you. Thank you so much for the lovely service you officiated for my brother, David. I appreciate your staying with me when I spent my last moments with him.
I would like to thank you very much for your guidance, support, and patience over the past several weeks. You made our trying experience of saying goodbye to my Mother manageable and showed us great caring and respect. I realize that our family offered you some challenges to rise above, but you accomplished this with understanding and compassion. We were very lucky to have you walk us through this experience and to hold our hands when needed. Thank you so much.
I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful service you made happen for Rob. I knew it was beautiful and meaningful to me. My friends and family all spoke about it after. We all have nothing but praise and appreciation for you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for such a wonderful service yesterday. Dad would have loved every word. I received many nice comments from family and friends who said it was just perfect. I appreciate the lovely scarf that you laid on dads coffin. It was a very special touch indeed. Im so happy that God brought us together to celebrate my dads life. May God Bless you always!!
I would like to extend a great big thank you on behalf of my husband and I for the wonderful ceremony you conducted for my mom. It was very touching and helped bring some peace into our lives. Many thanks again!
Thank you. You have been extremely helpful a ray of light in these dark days.
I just wanted to extend a thank you from our family for Uncle Vern's service today. You did a lovely job . We were all very pleased. I'm sure Uncle Vern would have approved as well.
I just wanted to thank you again for the beautiful ceremony for our mom on Saturday! So many people told me that they thought you knew our mom because the words were so personal and heartfelt. It really was a beautiful service and it seems to have helped us all and has helped to lift some of the sorrow we were feeling and we're better able to miss her but think of all of the happy memories!! Thank you again!! Laurie T.

The major exhibition of Japanese woodblock prints at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1890 was a revelation for countless modern artists.
They absorbed the Japanese printmakers' abstract visual language, the flat expanses, silhouettes, abrupt cropping and decorative patterns.
Above all, however, they were inspired by the power of colour, and more specifically the colour woodcut.
Some artists — Henri Rivière and Henri Charles Guérard among them — were so impressed by this Japanese technique that they set out to imitate it as precisely as possible.
View this artwork
The Japanese technique
The complex process for printing a Japanese woodblock print is clearly visible in a series of trial proofs by Jules Chadel.
This printmaker was downright obsessed by Japanese prints, and even went to study under his Japanese counterpart Yoshijirō Urushibara (1888–1953), who taught him the finer points of the craft.
It was here that he learned how to print blocks inked in different colours on top of one another accurately, finishing with the key block containing the line drawing.
Searching for nuance
The Scottish Nabi artist James Pitcairn-Knowles made a very subtle colour woodcut called The Bath, in which he achieved a soft, almost watery effect by printing the key block in beige on greyish-blue paper.
We can see from an earlier trial proof that the use of a darker pigment for the key block produced a considerably harder result.

Wyoming schools chief says going back to work
Cindy Hill
Matt Mead
By BOB MOEN - Associated Press - Thursday, March 6, 2014
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Saying she has waited long enough, state schools Superintendent Cindy Hill vowed Thursday to resume her duties as head of the Department of Education next week.
Her announcement came more than a month after the Wyoming Supreme Court overturned a 2013 law that removed the elected superintendent as a state department head.
Legislators enacted the law after complaints about Hill's performance, and she was moved to a separate state office building the day after the law took effect.
Hill said Gov. Matt Mead and lawmakers have had plenty of time to resolve the issue but have only stalled.
"The time for waiting and deference has long since passed," Hill said. "I must resume my duty as required by the constitution."
Mead said Hill's plan is premature because the courts haven't issued a final order that would tell the state how to resolve the superintendent's duties.
"Otherwise I just think it's a case of creating unnecessary chaos," Mead said.
Hill said she will return to the agency's main offices in Cheyenne at 8 a.m. Monday. The move could set up a conflict with Richard Crandall, who was appointed by the governor to run the education department.
"I don't think that my moving over to the department and resuming my constitutional duties should be a problem," Hill said.
Crandall said he would meet Hill Monday morning and she was welcome to enter the agency's building where the general public is allowed.
But he made clear that "nobody is allowed to just walk in and take something over until the courts specifically say what the orders are."
The state Supreme Court sided with Hill on Jan. 28 in her lawsuit challenging the law and denied a subsequent request by the state for a rehearing, However, the case won't be resolved until a lower court issues a final ruling. Further legal proceedings and appeals could follow.
Hill said the Supreme Court decisions were enough to allow her to return to the department. She also said Mead and his attorneys were plotting further legal delays.
"These delay tactics fly in the face of the Supreme Court's ruling," she said. "We're on uncharted ground, and I hope that the governor will hear my words and be responsive."
Mead said he didn't understand Hill's accusation.
"She brought the lawsuit, and we haven't gotten an order," he said. "I don't know how much plotting that is. We're waiting for the court's order."
In a filing earlier this week, state Attorney General Peter Michael asked the district court for a conference with the judge and both sides to "identify an expeditious path forward for this case."
On the other hand, Hill is seeking an order that would immediately restore her former duties.
Legislative leaders said the Supreme Court ruling came too late for lawmakers to address the matter during the budget session, which was wrapping up this week.
The legislative Management Council, which oversees matters when lawmakers are not in session, has directed the Joint Education Interim Committee to draft legislation to be considered during a possible special session. The education panel has a tentative deadline of April 30.
State House Speaker Tom Lubnau, R-Gillette, said the Legislature would work to resolve the situation in compliance with the final court decision.
"We owe it to the citizens of Wyoming going forward to make sure that we have a functional, nonpolitical education department," Lubnau said.

What started as a casino hopping trip to Oklahoma and New Mexico has turned into much more. While we will visit many casinos, these have turned out to be more of a 'base' camp for me and my sister. Join us as we start in Oklahoma, traverse the panhandle of Texas, and drive the scenic byways of New Mexico.
I declared yesterday that we would have no more posts. Although the day went by pretty uneventful, upon arriving at Comfort Suites in Fort Stockton, we had surprise visitors. Debbie, Chuck, and Ross had driven up from Alpine to surprise us, but mainly Dylan. He and I walked into the lobby to check in and we looked to the right to see familiar faces, but it took a few seconds for it to register who they were. I made Gwynne come in, telling her they needed her at the desk to register. We all had a nice visit. It was nice to see some familiar faces.
We left Hard Rock Hotel & Casino at 10 a.m. and stopped in Las Cruces at one of our faves....La Posta de Mesilla restaurant. Dylan 'oohed' and 'ahhed' at the birds and fish. Gwynne had a taco salad while I enjoyed a beef fajita salad. She partook in a libation, I water. For dessert, Gwynne treated us to sopapillas. Dylan drank his apple juice. He did not want to take in any of the restaurant food. He'd rather have his p, b, and j.
A fairly uneventful day....still smoke in the air. Different, I think, than any other trip I can remember, we were on the same interstate highway ALL DAY! IH-15 took us from Great Falls, Montana 560ish miles to south of Salt Lake City, Utah. Gwynne still makes fun of me while we pass a humongous silo near Salt Lake that I inquired on one of our trips if that was the Morman Tabernacle. I will not live it down. So when we pass by this huge complex, we salute.
Dylan, once again, was a trooper, playing on my iPad games the entire trip looking up only when there was a train or cows/horses. The speed limit was 75 and we drove between 75 and 90 mph to make good time. We were keeping up with the traffic through Montana, Idaho, and Utah. We skirted the Great Salt Lake. I didn't realize it was so close to the highway. We were arriving in the SLC area around rush hour, but it went smooth enough.
Dylan and I went for a short swim. The pool, of course, was inside. We WERE going to spend 30 minutes, but the area was like a sauna. The pool was comfortable, the hot tub too hot. Dylan finally got to watch his Sprout channel, an amenity he did not have before today after we left Ninilchik. His highlight of the day is playing in the bathtub as he was stuck with showering for 3 months.
On a whim, Gwynne and I decided at the last minute to change our route from one hotel to the next, over 600 miles away....our origin, Whitecourt, 100 miles northwest of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada.....our destination, Great Falls, Montana, USA. Now I don't know how many of you have traveled that road, but it is well traveled, well established, and VERY boring. Trying to manuever through Edmonton and Calgary with the terrible signage was something we did not want to do. We had already decided the day before to take one indirect road to Edmonton instead of the main highway. But upon driving that road, I proposed a plan. All day, we traveled parallel to the main drag on back roads. It took us through scenic farmland. Small towns broke the monotony of the seemingly long trek from Edmonton to Calgary. We crossed the border at Waterton National Park and Glacier National Park on the east side, not another soul in sight on the US side....piece of cake.
Upon approaching the border, perhaps 75 miles out or so, we started seeing the mountains with a bad haze. This lasted for over 200 miles. The haze was from fires across Montana and Idaho. It was bad, but lightened up just shy of Great Falls.
We are on the road again, now in Whitecourt, Alberta Canada after a boring days drive of 542 miles. Yesterday was an adventure, bar none, with a herd of buffalos, and some spread out along the way. We also saw Stone Mountain sheep down in a river bed and on the road in Stone Mountain Provincial Park. We had a stay at Fort Nelson, nothing too exciting. We are ready to be home and will hit the border tomorrow evening, ending our day in Great Falls Montana. After that off to Salt Lake Utah and then on to Albuequerque to stay at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on the Ysleta reservation....next Fort Stockton and on the 13th, we will be reunited with our families in San Antonio....Hooooo Ray!!!
Left Ninilchik at 6:09, arrived at our destination, Tok, AK at 4:30 only to find our reservation was good, but none of the help showed up that day to clean rooms, so nothing was available. We looked in this vacant town for other motels. Most are shutting down for winter. Fortunately, the restaurant we frequent helped us find one and it ended up being 'nicer' than the original. Too bad we won't be back to experience this one again!
p.s. Dylan spent some time yesterday afternoon imagining formations from the clouds....a fish crab, beluga whale, a frozen bear made out of bubbles.
Change of plans.....woke up leisurely this morning, paying bills, and my sister proposed a plan that I accepted and we ran with it.
We were scheduled to leave Saturday and ride the ferry from Skagway to Bellingham. The weather here has made a turn for the worse and boredom has set in. We have canceled the ferry reservations and opted to drive straight home, arriving sometime around the 13th....5 days earlier than planned. The time has come to go home, so there's no waiting around.
We washed clothes, mailed boxes home, called home to notify loved ones of the change in plans, and have changed all the reservations. We saved steaks for our last night meal so we won't have that craving on the road.
Wish us luck getting across the border w/ Dylan. We ran into a small problem on the way up. We have warned Audrey (his mom) to be prepared to answer the phone just in case.
Yesterday we reached a significant mark in our travels...one week until we depart. Dylan is now putting 'gold' stickers on the calendar to signify the last week of Alaska. We are ALL ready! Our only problem may be that we will have a hard time waking up to our wake-up calls in our motels on the road.
Yesterday was a beautiful day, although a little brisk. The temperature stayed in the 50's. I spray painted about 10 small pine cones gold for Dylan to have at home at Christmas....a little part of Alaska and Ninilchik and the Jones' compound.
We stayed in ALL day as Gwynne and Gene made a trip to Soldotna for necessities and fly making materials. I crocheted. Dylan played learning games on the computer and watched a few dvds on the computer as well. He has not watched a dvd in weeks.
Friday we had Gene over for Gwynne's quiche and parmesean biscuits. Afterwards, Gene demonstrated the rigorous process (for him) of making the flies he will use to fish for Silvers during September. The whole process took about an hour. Pictures under August 31st have been posted showing the process. Today Gene will come over for another one of Gwynne's lunches, chicken I think, and he may demonstrate how to make another fly.
We plan on returning to Soldotna one day this week (Wednesday or Thursday) to send some large packages home, go to the bank, shop for the road (have to have some Ferry snacks), just to name a few.
first road trip to the East Cost (Maine and Nova Scotia specifically). Without flying as an option, the places one can visit are limited, but the US and Canada have so much to offer, I doubt I will run out of 'firsts' before my clock runs out!
Last night, I rode with Gene to drop Alton off at the Kenai Airport. It was, I believe, the first time I saw 'darkness' of night (however, often in the morning). We left at 8 p.m. and returned home at 11 p.m. We will miss Alton, but look forward to seeing him at home.
The ritual of beach visits in the sunshine in the afternoon has halted for the time being. This morning we woke up to rainy, gray skies. We left at 9:30 a.m. with a goal of making it to the ferry terminal in Homer to watch cars drive on to the Tustumena ferry. Mission accomplished! Although a dreary day, it was NOT raining at the time, so Dylan and I took a few minutes to explore the rocky beach at the ferry harbor. So we have been to 'a' beach five days in a row!
We ran a few errands while in Homer, landing at a Pho (Vietamese) restaurant. The food was WONDERFUL and the owners very friendly. Our last stop was Safeway for a few things to make it through the week.
The fish arrived safe, sound, and frozen. Thank you Debbie & Chuck for receiving the boxes and caring for them!
The weather here has taken a turn for the best....clear skies going on three days now, no wind. The first day I thought the wind would blow Dylan and I down on the beach whilst we hunted for pretty rocks. Yesterday, it was calm seas. I found a beautiful piece of granite embedded in the sand, dug it up, brought it home, and rinsed it off. I've vowed to take it home, but have also got to have some flexibility as it may not fit! I've told Bob he may find a big rock in his yard upon our departure. To most it would be just another rock. To me it is a piece of Deep Creek beach to which I will likely not return.
Today, Gwynne will take the car in for tire rotation, oil change, and general looking-over...scheduled for 10 a.m. This involves Gene as she will need a ride home and then back again to pick it up. I will vacuum the messy floors and clean the dash and seats on the day before we leave. Gwynne continually spends $10-$15 having the car washed in Soldotna, Kenai, or Homer. This to keep the good reputation of the Jones compound for its appearance. However, upon returning to our home here in Alaska, the dust has already accumulated a thin layer. The roads are NOT paved on the way in. They are graded every couple of weeks. The rain keeps the dust to a minimum, but when we have clear days, this turns to dust....an on-going battle.
Sometime today, I will make a trip to the laundrymat, making sure to space out the trips so we land there next Friday for our last wash day before hitting the road. The tubs will be lighter of clothes and more on 'junk' as I am ridding myself of a few of Dylan's clothes that no longer fit AND of the fishing clothes I've worn. The smell of fish and eggs is not one you can get rid of.
This evening Gene and I will transport Alton and his two 50 lb. boxes of fish to the Kenai airport. There, it is only necessary to arrive an hour early, especially at this time of season....not many people traveling.
p.s. On Wed Aug 29 05:50:55 PDT 2012 Kenai Peninsula, Alaska (60.31, -150.71) 4.4 58.7km .....4.4 earthquake this morning at 4:50 a.m. our time...Gwynne felt it. Dylan and I were sawing logs and felt nothing.
The fish departed Ninilchik at 6:02 a.m. headed for Kendalia with a tracking number....very interesting to watch how fast these things can go 4500 miles. I just hope BOTH packages make it safe and sound. Sister Debbie is receiving them sometime today. I've since been offered clamming for packages of clams and packages of halibut, but it is too late.
Yesterday I spent one of my last four gift card lunches at the senior center. I will give one of mine to Gwynne today so we don't lose them. Alton and Gene joined me. We had meat stroganoff (which means Moose instead of Beef), potato salad, salad, dessert (of which ice cream is always a choice). It was good, but not up to the S.C. standards, in my opinion. Today Gwynne will have pork and saurkraut.
After lunch, I took Alton to drop off his clothes at the laundrymat (Hylen's campground....now called the Alaskan Angler RV Park) and then we hunted the Ninlchik Beach for jade. After dropping Alton off to complete the laundrying, I ran a few errands in town (Ha!)....P.O., printing at the Library, shop the old taxadermist shop (which is closing). Then Alton was returned to his abode. He will be leaving us to go home tomorrow night. I will travel with Gene to keep him alert in the darkness....moose on the road and a man who has a reputation for falling asleep sitting upright.
The fishing boots have been retired as I spent 30 minutes scrubbing fish blood (and some of my own), salmon egg juice, mud, and Deep Creek novelties off with liquid Lava soap and a brush. This is a sure sign that I will not be returning to the fishing scene (except in the daytime, hopefully with Gene, to take Dylan for a shot at fishing).
That was so great of the alpine contingency to show up and give you a warm Texas Welcome! Nothing better than seeing family again.
Response: Thanks for reading our blog Tracy!
Response: Thank you Marmar. I plan on going back someday, perhaps with my mommy.
Just saw that you all been posting on the way home. I thought you all would be too pooped to post. Great pictures.
I guess I can expect a call from mommy tonight?
Response: You got the call already! The only pictures we took today, Dylan took....of three different dinosaurs in one of the towns we had to slow down in....we stopped so he could roll his window down and take the shot. He is really good!
havent heard from you guys today. you said you would call when you got to the border, let me know please..getting worried. hope yall have a safe trip home. SOOO EXCITED!!!
Response: We only call if we can't get across. We're fine!
HAVE A SAFE HOMEWARD. i EXPECT A FULL REPORT ON THESE LAST 3 MONTHS HAVE BEEN . TAKE CARE. love you.
Response: Thanks Marmar. Grandma has put some of my memories in a scrapbook and in a photo album to help me remember.
Godspeed! Have a fabulous trip home. See you soon.
Good luck Getting Dylan back into the US. Whenever we left with the kids we never had a problem exiting through Canada but coming back, Oy Vey!
Jennifer, I had a dream about you the other night. You MARRIED an obviously younger man Woo-Hoo! Then you had a baby boy! I was with you in the delivery room... Or maybe it was a nightmare???
As usual, we are enjoying all of your great pics and never say never about going back to Alaska, you never know!
Response: OH MY! That was a nightmare! Except for the younger man of course!
aww! being a person who doesnt like change, hearing of last is sad but im VERY excited for you guys to come home...maybe lets not rule out one more alaska trip? maybe in several years? i would like to go up there with you and dylan and experience it again.
Response: We'll have to see what happens. It is VERY expensive!
Dylan might be on his way to being a travel photo journalist.
Are all these blog pictures taken with the iPhone?
Response: Yes. The only exception was when we were in Canada. They were taken with the iPad. They are not good quality when printed out. I got 100 photos developed for Dylan's photo album and they are grainy. I have given Dylan lessons on centering his subject and making sure to get a 'clear' picture, not blurry. He's been taking good pictures for a couple of months now.
DYLAN, DID ANYONE THINK TO MEASURE YOUR HEIGHT WHEN YOU LEFT FOR ALASKA? HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE GROWN? HOPE EVERYONE RECOGNIZE YOU, MAYBE YOU SHOULD PUT A NAME TAG ON. love you.
Response: We measured me on the back porch the day we got here, the 10th of July, the 10th of August, and will measure when we leave.
I google earth drove up the Sterling Highway looking for bears and moose. No spottings yet. It looks like the google truck was there in early fall; Orange trees and dying tall fireweed.
Beautiful drive over Deep Creek. ...this was my evening activity tonight. Exciting, ugh?
Response: If you google a more recent date, you could see our car and house. I bet if you call and let us know, we could even be on the front porch waving.
I DO HOPE YOU GET SOME FISHING IN. CAN ALTON OR GENE GIVE YOU SOME LESSONS? THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD TIME SO YOU CAN GO FISHING AT MAGNOLIA BEACH.HAVE MEMAW GET YOU A POLE, ETC; OR WHAT EVERV YOU NEED. GRANDMA WILL PAY. ove you.
Response: I hope I get to go too! I went once in a lake, but I haven't yet in the river. I think Gene or Alton will go with me and Memaw. Auntie Gwynne bought me a Zebco when we got here.
Response: You're right....he did not ride a horse. We were too early and he has a cold....it was cold and rainy.
im not sure how to comment on a particular picture but i love dylans 4 1/2 year old birthday present! :) please tell him that we will be calling around 5 or 6 (our time) to see how his day went (give him fair warning before he plays his computer games) lol!
Response: That present is from Auntie Gwynne....read the blog that goes with the pictures. I told him to be ready between 5 and 6. Today is his 4 1/2 year old b-day party with Gene, Alton, Gwynne, Dylan, and I. I have one gift. Other than that and Gwynne's, it is just a celebration.
Is t-Rex going to eat the bear!?
Response: Right now, he has only a couple of dino's.....we took them away and he has to earn them back.
Response: I am looking forward to both coming home AND going to my new school. Thank you Marmar Jane for your support.
Response: Sorry....I'll consider you the first secretly.
Nice to see Dylan had time with a friend and a inflatable jumpie. Did you warn him to only approach bears in Alaska who are wearing a hat?
My favorite picture is that of ALL THE FISH in Gene's fridge.
I Would love a scenic picture of deep creek if you ever go back. I could frame it for Tony's meditation corner in his dorm room.
Response: I posted pictures of Deep Creek. What part do you want? I really don't want to walk to the Meadows.
Send cold, wet rain when you FedEx your fish.
What do you think Ed and the Frenchmen call YOU in their blogs?
Response: Not sending the fish until the end.....The Frenchmen probably call me that 'damn woman fisher', but in French.
Missing my fishing buddies, little buddy, astrology buddy and everything Alaska has to offer!
I hope anyone who is even slightly in awe of Jennifer's log and photos also make the trip to Alaska.
And once you've been, I guarantee that you'll go again.
Thanks AFee Sis Juanita, Gwynne, Dylan, Gene and Alton for an incredible experience!
Hope to see more of your "Fish On!" photos.
Response: Awe sweet Claudia....you gave me the sniffles. We enjoyed your stay. You brightened each day for us.
Sounds as though you are all having a wonderful vacation. Glad you are able to do this. Things here have been busy but nothing extraordinary other than Jane's new baby. Eddie and the boys are in Anchorage for baseball tournament. They will be home Tuesday. Enjoy your vacation.
Response: Thanks for looking Mary. I will be worn out if I keep getting up at 3:30 to fish. I was on my feet 14 hours yesterday, and I don't mean simply standing....I was dieing by the time I hit the bed. I think Enzo is beautiful. I've sent a gift for Jane to Deidre's house, but have not yet done anything for either Mark's wedding gift OR Steven's baby gift....will look into it after payday. Tell everyone hello. See you in September.
Response: Both are reading me books, but mostly my Memaw. I can't wait to get the dvds and books on cds. Thank you Marmar Jane. I love you.
In the kayaking pics, is that rock arch the one by bird island?
Response: No, it is Elephant Island. When the tide is up it looks like an elephants trunk is dipping into the water. We were there during low tide and unable to paddle through. On the other side is rough water, though, so I would not have gone. As it is, the leader and one other experience kayaker made their way to the other side and said they were glad the others didn't attempt it.
How far can Rexy throw rocks into the bay? That's good exercise for Dylan. Keep it up and when he gets home sign him up for t-ball.
Gwynne, nice pictures! I haven't seen any pictures of crafts: afghans, painted rocks, crewel work?
Are you all ready to come home yet?
Response: Ready to send Dylan home. He's been a real toot lately, but we're managing. I will take pictures of the crafts today....unfinished afghans, crewel in the package, amatuer rock paintings.
Wow. You know I had to save a copy of that driftwood mosaic you took a picture of. That is cool! Sure wish I had a bunch of little pieces of driftwood. Well, I do have some, but...Have been enjoying keeping up with all the Alaska goings on. Particularly love the pictures, especially the ones with Dylan in them. Keep them coming.
Response: Will be amending the last 3 sets. Gwynne submitted them and I am going back to fix them up. I have taken pictures of that framed driftwood/beach glass art before. I am intrigued with it. I have literally 100 lbs. of beach glass at home. I'll look for wood.

NOTES & QUOTES FROM NBCSN'S MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES COVERAGE FROM POCONO RACEWAY
"You would think a track with only three corners would be easier, but Pocono is anything but." – Steve Letarte
"He should be proud of himself. He stepped up and put himself in position to win the race." – Jeff Burton on Daniel Suarez
"That is the most frightening feeling that a driver can have." – Dale Earnhardt Jr. on Bubba Wallace's High Impact Crash
LONG POND, Pa. – July 29, 2018 – NBC Sports Group's 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season continued this weekend with more than seven hours of trackside coverage from Pocono Raceway, in Long Pond, Pa.

The victory was Busch's sixth of the season.
NASCAR on NBC's lead race announcer Rick Allen called the action alongside 21-time Cup Series race winner Jeff Burton, from NBC Sports' booth above the start/finish line. Motorsports icon and NASCAR on NBC analyst Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Daytona 500 winning crew chief Steve Letarte, provided additional insight from NBCSN's second broadcast booth. Marty Snider, Kelli Stavast and Dave Burns reported from pit road.
Coverage began on NBCSN at 2 p.m. ET with Countdown to Green, hosted by Krista Voda. Burton, Earnhardt Jr. and Letarte all joined Voda live from NASCAR on NBC's new state of the art "Peacock Pit Box," before the green flag.

The following are highlights from this afternoon's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race coverage on NBCSN.
POST-RACE COVERAGE
Burton on Suarez's second place finish: "He should be proud of himself. He stepped up and put himself in position to win the race…Daniel did everything right. He actually did a better job of restarting than maybe the best restarter we have."
Burton on the final restart: "Daniel Suarez matched Kyle Busch's restart. Erik Jones making it three wide getting into turn one was a huge break for Kyle Busch. I don't blame Erik Jones, he is here to win the race too."
Earnhardt added: "I agree, you have to take the opportunity. Jones has a team he is trying to bring to victory lane too."
Earnhardt on the overtime restart: "This gives these guys another opportunity to try and right what they did wrong. What did Kyle do that last restart to prevail off of turn 2? What can I do differently to try and stop him from doing that?"
Burton before the first restart, with three laps to go: "This launch by Suarez will determine if he can win this race."
Earnhardt on Bubba Wallace's hard impact with the wall, with six laps to go: "That is the most frightening feeling that a driver can have. When you have no control, there are no breaks, and there is such a long distance to travel before contact with anything."
Earnhardt on the sport's safety advancements: "You have to credit the teams and NASCAR for working together to make these cars safe. Jeff you were a big proponent behind the safety of these cars we have today, and pushing safety to be critical and a priority. To see a driver get out after such an incredible hit is impressive to me."
Earnhardt as Brad Keselowski and Kyle Larson made contact: "It's race time now man! The stages are over, the stage breaks are over, these guys came to pit road and there are 51 laps to go…I imagine Brad ain't happy. No one wants to get run over like that in the corner, but you can't wait. You got to go."
Burton on the battle between Larson and Kurt Busch with 19 laps to go: "These guys are still racing themselves. They don't even have Kevin Harvick in their mind right now. They are racing each other especially hard."
Earnhardt on Erik Jones' strategy in Stage 1: "He had the speed…I think this is great strategy by his team to give him a shot to win this race, keep him in the top two rows. Him being in that front or second row is going to give him a chance to win."
Burton on the tunnel turn at Pocono Raceway: "It is hard enough when you go down there by yourself. You are going so fast. It is a nine degree turn. It is a very very short radius. We are getting ready to go through there two wide on this restart, and then it gets very, very difficult."
Earnhardt with nine laps to go in Stage 1: "If I'm Daniel Suarez and I see the No. 4 car coming, it wouldn't occur to me that it was really that important to keep him behind me this early in the race. Now that I am up here in the booth watching, I am thinking every time that these guys have Kevin Harvick behind them, that they need to hold him behind them as much as they can. If the No. 4 car, as fast as it is, gets the lead, this race is over with."
PRE-RACE COVERAGE
Letarte on Pocono Raceway: "You would think a track with only three corners would be easier, but Pocono is anything but."
Letarte on Jimmie Johnson: "The simple thing about Jimmie Johnson, we saw the numbers, all the starts, all the wins, all the championships, but even today after 600 starts he is still the guy that will text you, 'How's the family, how are you doing?' He is such a great person. As a person he sets the bar very high for anyone in the garage."
Earnhardt added: "Two of his most incredible accomplishments are, he got me on Twitter and he got me on a bike. Jimmie is a great guy and he has influenced my life incredibly."

Řád hvězdy () bylo státní vyznamenání Demokratické republiky Afghánistán založené roku 1980. Řád byl udílen příslušníkům ozbrojených sil Afghánistánu, dobrovolníkům i cizím státním příslušníkům.

Historie a pravidla udílení
Řád byl založen dne 24. prosince 1980. Udílen byl za výjimečnou osobní odvahu, nebojácnost v bojové situaci, za vynikající organizaci a vedení bojových operací, při nichž nepřítel utrpěl významnou porážku a za vynikající činnost ke zlepšení bojové schopnosti ozbrojených sil a posílení obranyschopnosti Demokratické republiky Afghánistán. Řád byl udílen postupně od III. třídy. Po změně režimu přestal být řád udílen.

Třídy
Řád je udílen ve třech třídách:

 I. třída
 II. třída
 III. třída

Insignie
Řádový odznak má tvar pěticípé hvězdy o průměru 55 mm. Cípy hvězdy jsou mírně konvexní. Na přední straně uprostřed je kulatý medailon o průměru 22 mm s reliéfním vyobrazením státního znaku Demokratické republiky Afghánistán. Odznak I. třídy je pozlacený, v případě II. postříbřen s pozlaceným státním znakem a v případě III. třídy je celý postříbřen. Na zadní straně řádu je uvedena třída uděleného řádu.

Stuha pokrývá kovovou destičku ve tvaru pětiúhelníku. Stuha je z hedvábného moaré a je široká 24 mm. Na stuze jsou tři podélné stejně široké pruhy v barvě zelené, červené a černé. Na okrajích jsou bílé proužky široké 1,5 mm.

Řád se nosí nalevo na hrudi. V přítomnosti dalších vyznamenání je tento řád umístěn za ostatními řády, ale před medailemi.
