Марија Долорес Флорес Руиз (; Херез де ла Фронтера, 21. јануар 1923 — Мадрид, 16. мај 1995) била је шпанска певачица, играчица и глумица.

Професионална каријера

Лола Флорес, родом из Херез де ла Фронтера, из Шпаније, као играчица била је икона шпанске циганске културе, призната широм Шпаније, као и на међународном плану. Сама Флорес није била Циганка, али се снажно идентификовала са Ромима и њиховом културом и на крају се и удала у Гитано породицу. Она је, међутим, признала да јој је речено јој је деда био ромског порекла. Постала је позната плесачица и певачица андалузијског фолклора, укључујући фламенко и друге националне плесове, у врло младој доби.

Њен филмска каријера је трајала у периоду од 1939. до 1987. године. Највећи успех у фолклору је доживела у наступајући са Манолом Караколом, који је био њен партнер за плес до 1951. године. Лола је позната и под називом Ла Фараона.

Приватни живот
Лола Флорес била је најстарије дете од троје деце, у шпанском граду Херез де ла Фронтера. Њен отац је био власник бара, а мајка се бавила кројењем.

Са 16 година је први пут наступала у свом родном граду, да би велику славу стекла преселивши се у Мадрид, где је ускоро потписала највећи уговор у дотадашњој историји (тада вредан 6 милиона пезета, 1950их) који је покренуо њену турнеју по Латинској Америци.

Удала се за Антониа Гонзалеза ел Пескаила 1958. године, циганског гитаристу из Барселоне. Имали су троје деце и сви су се бавили глумом и музиком, Лолита, Антонио и Розарио.

Лола Флорес је умрла од рака дојке 1995. године, у 72. години живота, а сахрањена је на највећем гробљу у Мадриду (-{Cementerio de la Almudena}-). Убрзо након њене смрти, њен 33-годишњи син Антонио је пао у депресију и починио самоубиство предозирањем. Сахрањен је покрај своје мајке.

Године 2007, снимљен је биографски филм, -{Lola, la película}-, који описује њен ран живот, од 1931. до 1958. године.

Iran says it is waiting to see how the EU will make up for its delays to establish a special payment mechanism which is meant to bypass US sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
Three European powers are set to announce plans to help companies trade with Iran under a mechanism known as the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) as early as Monday, Bloomberg reported.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Monday that Iran has never limited its options to the SPV, but is still interested to see how the European Union delivers on its pledges.
"Iran has never waited for Europe's payment mechanism but we are eager to see how Europe makes up for the delay," he told reporters during a press briefing in Tehran.
"We had better wait and see what the European side eventually unveils," he said of the entity which is key to EU efforts to save a 2015 nuclear accord with Iran.
The European signatories to the Iran nuclear deal – the UK, France and Germany – pledged to establish the SPV after US President Donald Trump pulled out of the agreement in May 2018.
Russia and China, the other signatories, have expressed strong commitment to the deal despite Washington's pledge to re-impose the "toughest ever" sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
According to the report by Bloomberg, the three European powers were going to "make good" on their promise to secure trade with Iran in defiance of the US.
Two diplomats said the new initiative was designed to shield EU companies from the US sanctions and would be discussed in Brussels on Monday and released on the same day if all 28 member countries agreed.
In order to gather more support for its pressure campaign against Iran, the US has announced that it will co-host a summit with Poland in Warsaw next month.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has said that she will not attend the meeting. According to the Wall Street Journal, ministers from several European Union countries will also likely skip the event.
Qassemi said the conference is aimed at "sowing division" between Iran and European countries.
"We are monitoring this summit with pessimism," he asserted, noting that the organizers had yet to invite Iran to the event.


The page highlights some of Deep Purple's live releases with Steve Morse. I've followed several of Steve Morse's line-ups and have been a Deep Purple fan too.
Regarding Morse, I was lucky to see him in the early days with the Dixie Dregs, I think it was 1983. After that show, how could I not be a fan? This band was excellent, playing rock, country, jazz, blues, you name, all brilliantly. After the Dregs, I saw a solo line-up or two also.
Deep Purple have released several live releases with Steve Morse through the years. Now, with so many formats, DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD. regular release or extra tracks, etc., I've put this page together to organize options.
Regarding early Deep Purple, I hope to add a page on some of my favorite Blackmore era releases. Machine Head is one of my favorite hard rock releases. Until I can expand I've added some links some of my favorites; Machine Head: 25th Anniversary Edition, and Made In Japan: The Remastered Edition.
2010 Deep Purple Two for One releases.
Limited 10cd box, remastered and includes 120 page booklet. Includes the albums 'Concerto For Groupl And Orchestra', 'In Rock', 'Fireball', 'Machine Head', 'Made In Japan', 'Who Do We Think We Are', 'Burn', 'Stormbringer', 'Come Taste The Band', and 'Made In Europe'.
Deep Purple are one of the most successful and evered British rock bands of all time. This new two-disc set covers the initial phase of the band�s existence through four different line-ups from 1968 to 1976. This era produced the classic Deep Purple albums such as �In Rock�, �Fireball�, �Burn� and �Machine Head� that created their legend and still provide the backbone of their live sets today despite the ongoing commercial success of the band post their 1984 reunion. Combining full performances and a small number of archive interviews featuring much rare and previously unreleased live, studio and TV footage this superb set is the definitive collection of the early years of Deep Purple.
HISTORY � 20 minute history of Deep Purple from 1968 to 1976.
Releases featuring Steve Morse in the band.
2007 Japanese edition of the legendary heavy metal band's 2006 appearance at the famed Montreux Jazz Festival. This version includes the entire 90 minute set, including 5 songs that do not appear in equivalent editions around the worldl. This one adds "Well Dressed Guitar", "Perfect Strangers", "Hush", "Too Much Fun" and "Black Night".
There are several DVD formats to select from including Blu-Ray and HD.
Almost 40 years after the band's original formation, Deep Purple is in fine form in They All Came Down to Montreux. The band's history is intimately connected with the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival (which also includes rock music), so it was only fitting that DP was invited to headline the closing night of the festival's 40th anniversary on July 15, 2006. On disc 1 of this two-disc set, DP's 100-minute Montreux gig is included in its entirety, and even those who prefer the band's earlier "Mark II" lineup (which included previous keyboardist John Lord and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore) will agree that this band can still rock your socks off. By the time keyboardist Don Airey launches a playfully jazzy prologue to the band's biggest hit "Smoke on the Water" (a song inspired by a spectacular fire that occurred while the band was preparing to record Machine Head in Montreux in 1971), DP has the packed Montreux in an arm-waving state of hard-rock bliss.
Few bands are more closely associated with Montreux than Deep Purple and there was simply no other contender when it came to choosing the act to headline the closing night of the 40th Montreux Festival in 2006. The band duly delivered one of their finest live performances, sprinkling songs from their latest album "Rapture Of The Deep" through a set chock full of their classic tracks. There was even a brand new song "Too Much Fun" written especially for the occasion and, of course, a show-stopping performance of "Smoke On The Water".
A companion CD with highlights from this show is being simultaneously released.
Only on the "Extra tracks"
Deep Purple need no introduction as one of the all-time great British rock bands. Their association with Montreux goes back to the early seventies when their attempt to record their album "Machine Head" at the Montreux Casino was thwarted when it promptly burnt down forcing them to make the album in the rooms and corridors of the Grand Hotel instead. The story was of course immortalised in their classic song "Smoke On The Water" which is the climax of this 1996 concert from the Montreux festival.
This stunning set features three full Deep Purple concerts, highlights of a fourth, interviews with the band members and a new documentary telling the full Deep Purple story from their beginnings up to the present day with an emphasis on the Steve Morse era. The four full length DVDs are packaged within a hardback cover that also contains a 32 page specially commissioned book written by Joel McIver of Classic Rock magazine and illustrated with photographs from the era covered by the concerts. The discs cover concerts in India, South Korea, Australia and the UK across a seven-year period. Packed with rare and previously unseen material this is the ultimate Deep Purple collection.


"Quantico", which introduced Priyanka in the West, is an espionage drama about FBI recruits training at the Quantico base. Along with Matlin, the third season has some casting changes with Yasmine Al Massri and Pearl Thusi leaving the show.

Shoah ist ein zweiteiliger Dokumentarfilm von Claude Lanzmann aus dem Jahr 1985. In dem Film werden Zeitzeugen zur Schoah (von ) bzw. zum Holocaust befragt. Kein Leichnam wird gezeigt, auch nicht als Archivbild. Die Filmaufnahmen bestehen überwiegend aus Interviews und langsamen Kamerafahrten an Orten, zu denen tausende Juden im Zweiten Weltkrieg deportiert und dort ermordet wurden. Shoah ist mit neun Stunden ungewöhnlich lang und gilt als ein Meilenstein in der filmischen Auseinandersetzung mit der vom Deutschen Reich zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus systematisch betriebenen Vernichtung der Juden.

Selbstbeschreibung des Regisseurs
Lanzmann über seinen Film in der französischen Tageszeitung Le Monde vom 3. März 1994:

Inhalt
Regisseur Lanzmann reiste 11 Jahre lang – von 1974 bis 1985 – durch Europa, in erster Linie durch Polen, um Zeitzeugen zu befragen. Der Film zeigt die Schauplätze Treblinka, Sobibor, Auschwitz, Chelmno und Warschau ohne jegliches Archiv- oder Fremdmaterial, sondern nur Aufnahmen aus dem Zeitraum und an den heutigen Orten dieser Reisen. Er unterbricht die Gespräche mit Aufnahmen von Güterzügen auf den Eisenbahnstrecken nach Treblinka oder anderen Vernichtungslagern. In wiederkehrenden Zyklen lässt Lanzmann die Waggons auf den heutigen Bahnhöfen der damaligen Vernichtungslager ankommen und rangieren.

Das zentrale Thema der Befragungen sind die Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslager während des Zweiten Weltkriegs und das Warschauer Ghetto. Lanzmann stellte die Zeugen mit seinen Fragen auf eine harte Probe; er ließ sie ununterbrochen filmen, auch wenn sie die Fassung verloren, weil sie die grausame Erinnerung nicht mehr ertragen konnten. Neben Opfern, die den Völkermord überlebt hatten, befragte Lanzmann auch Täter. Diese wurden teilweise mit versteckter Kamera gefilmt.

Der Film zeigt zudem ausführlich, wie die Stätten der damaligen Lager zum Zeitpunkt des Drehs ausgesehen haben (zwischen 1976 und 1984). An manchen Orten gibt es Gedenkstätten, an anderen fand er nur pflanzenüberwucherte Reste. Darauf haben Augenzeugen hingewiesen, wenn sie bestätigten, dass sich an dem Ort seither nichts verändert habe. Bilder von tristen Gegenden oder Gebäuden überlappen sich oft mit den akustischen Stellungnahmen einzelner Überlebender.

Rezeption
Die polnische Regierung protestierte vor der Uraufführung am 30. April 1985 in Paris bei der französischen Regierung gegen den Film und verlangte ein vollständiges Verbot, da der Film zeigt, dass Antisemitismus in der Volksrepublik Polen verbreitet fortbestand. Im Oktober 1985 – damals gehörte Polen noch zum Ostblock – wurde im polnischen Fernsehen ein 90-minütiger Zusammenschnitt gezeigt; in der anschließenden Diskussionssendung wurde der Film einmütig verurteilt.

Auch in Deutschland war die Ausstrahlung des Films nicht unumstritten. Während sich insbesondere der WDR dafür einsetzte, wehrte sich vor allem der Bayerische Rundfunk (BR) dagegen und sorgte, wie 1979 bei der Fernsehserie Holocaust, für eine Ausstrahlung in den Dritten Programmen statt in der ARD; der BR sendete Shoah zudem später als andere Landessender und zu einem ungünstigen Sendetermin.

Shoah zeigt und betont den Überlebenswillen der Augenzeugen/Überlebenden, der sich gegen unvorstellbare psychische Belastungen durchgesetzt hat. Ohne ihn könnten die Zeugen ihre Erinnerung später nicht den jüngeren Generationen vermitteln.

Der Film ist in Deutschland seit 2007 vollständig auf DVD erhältlich, seit 2017 in einer restaurierten Fassung.

Ab dem 26. Januar 2012 strahlte TRT, die öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunkgesellschaft der Türkei, den Film aus. Das Aladdin-Projekt hatte das Werk mit türkischen Untertiteln versehen. Lanzmann bezeichnete das als einen historischen Schritt, der hoffentlich viele Nachahmer in der islamischen Welt finden werde.

Der Filmkanon zur Vermittlung von Filmkompetenz an Jugendliche listet Shoah seit 2003. Bei der alle zehn Jahre von der Filmzeitschrift Sight & Sound durchgeführten Umfrage nach dem "besten Film aller Zeiten" unter Filmkritikern wurde Shoah 2012 auf Platz 29 gewählt.

In der 2015 veröffentlichten Dokumentation Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah berichtet Lanzmann über die Arbeiten an dem Filmprojekt.

Zum 75. Jahrestag der Befreiung des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz am 27. Januar 2020 rief das internationale literaturfestival berlin zu einem "Worldwide Screening" des Films auf, an dem sich zahlreiche Kulturinstitutionen weltweit beteiligten.

Auszeichnungen (Auswahl)
Die Produktion wurde insgesamt mit 13 verschiedenen Preisen geehrt. So wurde der Film bei den British Academy Film Awards als bester Dokumentarfilm ausgezeichnet. Einen Preis in der gleichen Kategorie erhielt Shoah 1986 bei den Boston Society of Film Critics Awards. Hinzu kam im gleichen Jahr eine Auszeichnung der National Society of Film Critics.

Bei den Internationalen Filmfestspielen Berlin im Jahr 1986 wurde der Regisseur Claude Lanzmann mit drei Preisen geehrt: dem Caligari Film Award, dem FIPRESCI-Preis sowie OCIC Award – Honorable Mention. Außerdem erhielt Lanzmann 1987 den Adolf-Grimme-Preis mit Gold.

Regisseur Lanzmann erhielt 1985 einen Special Award der Los Angeles Film Critics Association.

Without a major renovation since 1977, it was time for a change at Johnny Carson Park in Burbank, CA. The namesake of the popular Tonight Show host, the multi-use park has emerged out of the renovation as a lively oasis in the midst of the bustling urban highways and buildings. Located just across from NBC Studios in Burbank where Johnny Carson moved his popular show to in 1972, park goers can enjoy the impressive amenities and appreciate the project's eco-focused efforts for the area's water system.
The PermaTrak featured designer article series showcases top performing landscape architects and engineers who discuss their design perspective, current projects, challenges and accomplishments.
This month's featured designer is Michael Henn from LANDology in Houston, TX. He is a project manager and landscape architect tasked with expanding the master plan community efforts in the business.
We talked with Michael about his approach to design, how he navigates public planning meetings, and what sets him apart from other landscape architects.
Scott Sonnenberg, PE, LA, CPESC, CPSWQ, owns his own engineering design firm in Columbus, Ohio, called Eco-Design and Engineering. We recently spoke to Scott about his background in landscape architecture, his biggest challenges, and his favorite accomplishments in the field.
An ongoing trend in big cities is the development of sustainable greenspaces, which add to the attractiveness and health of urban communities. In Cleveland, a complete transformation of the Michael J. Zone Recreation Center helped not only create a model for healthy urban spaces, but also contributed to the revitalization of the neighborhood.
Can Precast Concrete Piers Be Used for a Wetland Boardwalk?
If you have experience designing projects for park & recreation clients, trail systems or greenways, I'm sure you can appreciate how much site conditions influence your design concepts.
For architects and engineers with boardwalks or pedestrian bridge projects in their portfolios, delicate environments come up often – including wetlands, grasslands or floodplain areas. Designers are hired for their expertise in specifying a boardwalk or pedestrian bridge product through these types of natural environments in order to provide a safe walkway for visitors, an "outdoor classroom", or simply a connection to another part of the trail system. These project locations dictate the design and specification of an elevated structure; a traditional gravel or asphalt surface simply won't suffice.
So how do the site conditions relate to designing boardwalk foundations through a wetland area?
Green building is an integral part of the future of architecture and engineering, whether dealing with buildings, softscape or hardscape infrastructure. We'd like to highlight current efforts that promote green building design and sustainable practices.
The LEED certification program charted the path for infrastructure ratings systems in the U.S. As we've mentioned, however, LEED is hardly alone among programs that rate and reward green, sustainable building.
PermaTrak is focused on being environmentally responsible in the construction, materials, construction methods and overall footprint of our boardwalks. Our boardwalk systems are well positioned to contribute to LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) green credits, making them a smart and eco-friendly option. Green building and design is far more than a passing fad. It's vital to the preservation of our natural spaces to minimize environmental impact and maximize awareness.
Last week I talked to an environmental specialist from a local Public Works department here in Florida who told me about a recently awarded grant that stipulated they use a boardwalk product produced with recycled materials. This is a topic we are discussing often now, as taxpayers and grant administrators want to see money spent on products that are as environmentally friendly as possible. This makes good sense; I believe we all need to be responsible users of our natural resources.

The Niteco Christmas Gift that will Keep on Giving
Kindergarteners who live in a remote village in Vietnam will benefit from two brand new classrooms in the New Year thanks to the generosity of Niteco employees.
The children of Coc O village in the mountainous province of Bac Kan have been without sufficient classrooms for the past year, resulting in disrupted learning for almost 50 schoolchildren, with a further 16 expected to need a place at school next year. Upon learning of their predicament, staff at Niteco clubbed together to raise a phenomenal USD8,500 in order for classrooms to be constructed.
Commenting on the gift, Hau Luong, a project team lead at Niteco said, "When we heard about the poor conditions that the children and their teachers were enduring, we knew we wanted to help. Our donation means that every child in Coc O will be able to attend the local Kindergarten and will no longer need to travel miles to another village just to receive an education."
The village of Coc O is located more than six hours drive from Hanoi, Vietnam's capital city, and is considered one of the least populated areas in Northern Vietnam, partly due to its rugged terrain and forested topography. As a result, living conditions are basic, with access to the village a challenge.
The Vice Principal of the kindergarten, Hoàng Thị Đào, thanked Niteco for coming to the school's rescue and emphasized the impact the gift made to the small community. At a special ceremony that's slated to take place in January 2018, the classrooms will be named in Niteco's honor.
Meeting the essential needs of a community that's often ignored is just one of Niteco's priorities. A company, committed to improving the lives of people less fortunate, Niteco, through its charity organization, NICEF, has also delivered months of IT training to vulnerable youths this year.
"As people around the world exchange gifts with their loved ones and friends this season, we were keen to give a gift to a community that will benefit them beyond Christmas and for generations to come" said Hau.

Home What To Do Attractions Days of '76 Museum
Days of '76 Museum
The Days of '76 celebration began in 1924 as a way to honor Deadwood's first pioneers – the prospectors, miners, muleskinners, and madams who poured into the Black Hills in 1876 to settle the gold-filled gulches of Dakota Territory. Since then, the Days of '76 has grown into a legendary annual event with a historic parade and an award-winning PRCA rodeo.
The Days of '76 Museum began, informally, as a repository for the horse-drawn wagons, stagecoaches, carriages, clothing, memorabilia, and archives generated by the celebration. The museum is now a state-of-the-art facility filled with dynamic and thematic exhibitions.
More than 50 historic wagons, carriages, buggies, and other animal-powered vehicles are on display in the exhibit, Deadwood: A Story of Movement and Change. The 7,000-square-foot exhibit tells the story of how this early transportation system helped settle the American West.
Spectacular and colorful panoramic photographs of the local western landscape cover the walls of the gallery. Many vehicles are positioned in front of creative representations of Deadwood's Main Street, including wooden and brick buildings, a livery stable, a sundries storefront, a fire station, and the porch of an elegant Victorian home. The gallery is full of hands-on components, photo opportunities, and interactive activities that make for a truly memorable experience.
The Firearms Exhibit tells a layered story of guns both in the Black Hills and throughout American history. Nearly 100 long arms and 20 handguns are presented in unique displays, including examples of the firearms that made American gun designers world-famous. The story of each gun is supported by a fascinating background of photographs, diagrams, and illustrations.
May – September: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily

Netflix Releases Canada ISP Speed Index for November [PIC]
Netflix has released their November ISP speed index which again includes performance of Canadian internet providers. No major changes occurred other than Videotron jumping up a couple spots. The average speed for the top 10 ISP services are pretty similar for the most part.
Here's how Netflix describes their speed index:
The Netflix ISP Speed Index is a measure of prime time Netflix performance on a particular ISP and not a measure of overall performance for other services/data that may travel across the specific ISP network. Faster Netflix performance generally means better picture quality, quicker start times and fewer interruptions.
Netflix notes year-over-year performance compared since November 2013 has seen increases for averages speeds in the U.S. and European regions.
As for Canada, Netflix only started releasing ISP speed data since March of this year, so it'll be interesting to see what they observe once a year's worth of data is available.

Global Classroom at JHSPH
What is a global classroom? Mike Field zooms in on distance education at JHSPH in the Johns Hopkins Public Health magazine (Fall 2009). "Technology and pedagogical savvy are revolutionizing public health education," Field says.
Some key points from the article:
The availability of the distance education option for students around the world has been increased significantly over recent years by the addition of a wide range of online courses.
"We saw that our part-time programs could be more widely available through distance education..." —Marie Diener-West
Tools [supporting the distance education courses] include hours of pre-recorded lectures; direct email contact with faculty; a threaded, content-rich bulletin board discussion system that encompasses polls; private work spaces; document sharing; and DED Messenger.
"When we began this effort in 1997, there was no existing model, so it was largely a matter of saying, 'Let's try something entirely new.' We ended up creating features that have helped to change teaching and pedagogy across the School." —James Yager
John McGready [biostatistics assistant scientist] compared outcomes in his online and onsite biostatistics classes; he discerned no significant differences in learning based on evaluations between the two groups.
"It's the quality and attention to detail that makes all the difference. We focus on the learning that has to happen." —Sukon Kanchanaraksa
"One thing that tells me we have succeeded is the surprising number of online students who travel to Baltimore to receive their diplomas in May at graduation—there are many each year." —Dean Michael J. Klag
Experts say this expansion of access to top-flight public health pedagogy can't come soon enough: a critical shortage of public health workers—across the country and around the globe—is looming, due to years of declining public health budgets and an oncoming tidal wave of retirements.
ASPH estimates that it will be necessary to find 250,000 more public health workers by the year 2020 in order to return the U.S. to its former ratio of 220 public health workers per 100,000 of population.

Resolution to LiveTalk Archive Playback Issues
Throughout the second term, some LiveTalk archives have had playback issues where the archive would play normally until around 30-35 minutes into the archive, at which point the audio for the archive would continue, but the chat and slides would not update properly. We have been working with JHSPH Information Systems and Adobe (the makers of the software behind LiveTalks) on this issue, and we believe that the issue causing this problem has been fixed.
This problem resolution will only affect LiveTalks recorded after November 20, 2009, when the change was made which should resolve the issue. Any LiveTalk archive created on or before November 20, 2009, that currently exhibits this playback issue will continue to have this playback issue. The issue involves problems during the creation of the archive itself, and once the archive is created, we cannot alter it.
We apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused students in a number of online courses. If you continue to run in to this problem for any LiveTalk archive created after November 20, 2009, please contact DEHelp immediately.


If you follow the Norwich Mumbler FB group, you might remember we shared the Random Acts of Advent Calendars, made by Jenny Whatling, a few weeks ago. Jenny has written a little bit more about her heartbreaking story, the inspiration behind making the advent calendars and about the new Baby Bereavement Group she's set up at the NNUH. (I've added it to the Support Groups page on the website).
This year I have found myself as a member of a club that no one would ever wish to be a member of, the baby loss community. Following a textbook pregnancy, at 41 weeks, our baby boy Jude was stillborn. On that day our world crashed to the ground around us. We were hit by a shock and a grief that words simply cannot describe. If if you are reading this because you are experiencing a similar life event, I am so sorry but even though you may feel like you will be able to survive right now, you can and you will.
Jude was born at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital where we were all cared for by an amazing team of doctors, midwives and health care assistants. They hold a very special place in our hearts following the love, care and kindness we received. They kindly led us through all the things we never thought we would need to prepare for. One of our most precious possessions is our memory box which stores photographs, hand and footprints, a little teddy which Jude held, blankets and other keepsakes. We were also cared for by Kari, the specialist Bereavement Midwife whose role is to support families who lose a baby during or shortly after pregnancy. She made us feel like we were the only people she was caring for, even though sadly we know this is not the case. She continues to be a point of contact and support months on and has a special understanding on the roller-coaster of emotions a family can feel after living through the unthinkable.
Everyone deals with grief in their own way, there is no right or wrong way to get through the unimaginable devastation you experience. Our lovely friends and family rallied together and have raised money in lots of different ways in Jude's name which is incredibly special. There are lots of different charities which support research, prevention and support around baby loss but we have chosen to support the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital directly. Currently their aim is to fund a Maternity Bereavement Suite, a designated room on the Delivery Suite. This room will provide a comfortable atmosphere where parents and families can mourn their loss in private and spend precious time together.
The Random Acts of Kindness Advent Calendars was an idea I had following years of being a primary school teacher. After some tweaking with the design and some craft supply orders from Ebay I shared my project on Facebook and Instagram hoping for support from a few close friends. After being shared a few times the orders started to come from further and further afield. Then one Sunday evening, following a share on the Norwich Mumbler Facebook page things went crazy and we took several hundred orders that evening. Since then orders have come from all over the world including Hong Kong, Germany and Texas.
I have been totally blown away by the support and I love that so many families are on board with the idea that kindness is just as valuable as gifts at Christmas time. Currently we have sold over 800 calendars and raised over £4000 for the hospital. Some of that money will be used to buy resources which can be used before the room is finished including story books and keepsakes.
We have had a massive influx of support from local individuals and businesses who would like to support us in to 2019. As a result we have set up the Norfolk and Norwich Baby Bereavement group in connection with the NNUH. The aim of the group is to connect local families, share support, and support future fundraising. If you would like to get in touch with the group please find us on Instagram or Facebook.


As I mentioned in my last blog, there were about seven students in total, which is the most amount of students that I have personally coached at once. Introducing archery to Leahurst College students was a lot of fun. To teach that many students with only one hour for a lesson, I needed to make sure everyone had their own bow. Luckily, I had several bows, so the number was not a problem. The challenge I experienced was where to store them until the lessons and where to store them during lessons as I did not want lying in the grass. Solutions: Basement Ceiling Storage – Two T-Bars Storage from Dollarama ($3 each) Old Hockey Net Bow Stand – Removed Net These are not ideal storage ideas for an official archery shop but if you have a lot of bows or give lessons they are good solutions for minimal investment.
I'm not sure if you've worn glasses before but if so, do you have any suggestions on archers who used glasses and are now switching to contacts? I've recently switched from glasses to contacts and my aiming is way off!
I can relate to this question, when I started shooting I had 20/20 vision, and around high school I needed glasses. I have not tried contacts yet, however it was an adjustment. Remember, the purpose of a corrective lens helps refract the light or images into in focus so you can see. Check out this website that explains how your vision works and how corrective lenses affect vision.
Wearing glasses or contacts can sometimes be a challenge for archers, since we actually stand to the side of the bow, not directly behind it. Therefore we are always viewing things on an angle, add the complexity of a corrective lens and it may be difficult to clearly focus on the target. It depends on the strength and thickness of the corrective lenses. I have a friend who can not shoot with her contacts on. The angle of the bow, combined with the angle of her contacts and she can not see her string alignment at all, which can affect your group.
Picking glasses out also presents a challenge because of the angle of the lenses and the thickness of the frames. My sister can not shoot with her prescription glasses because the frames are too large for the angle of the bow and she can not see her string alignment. If you need corrective lenses, it may take some trial and error experimenting to find out what works best for you.
I've recently switched from glasses to contacts and my aiming is way off!
If you are able to see the target and string alignment in focus, consider your arrow groupings.
Groups open up: Your brain could be simply catching up with your new perception, give it some time and practice. If the groups do not get better, then try shooting with your glasses on again and comparing the results.
Groups still tight; just off center: Move the sight. Even the smallest change can affect everything else, your vision is a large change.
Moved your sight; no change: Check your form, since many things can affect your your arrows including plucking the string.
Vision is important however not as important as good form. In fact, you may have read my earlier blog about legally blind South Korean archer, Im Dong-hyun, who broke the world record at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Im Dong-hyun has only about 20% vision in his right eye and only 10% in his left eye.
Your vision is important, however you may want to focus on making sure the shot "feels" the same every time, this is the key to success. For me, my coach still insists everyone warm-up with the following exercise to help us focus on feel not vision.
Close your eyes and then shoot.
I hope I have provided some guidance and answered your question. If any other readers have experienced changes from moving to contacts from glasses, we would love to hear from you.
Archery is one of the best sports because it can be social, competitive, fun, and casual, you just need to decide what you want to get out of it. Recently the interest in archery has sky-rocketed since the movies the Hunger Games, Brave and the Avengers.
Archery is so popular that Britain right now, with London Olympics finishing recently, MPs are demanding its return and politicians have participated in training sessions with current and future Olympians.
This is not a local phenomenon either, there are tons of articles throughout North America about the increased interest in Archery. I am sure there are even more throughout the world since I have seen a lot of blogs about people who have or want to give it a try and I have also seen a lot of questions and comments about how to get started.
Well, here is a quick simple step-by-step guide.
Setup a take a beginner class or a private lesson : Most clubs offer regular lessons for both beginner and advanced archers. Alternatively you can contact a private coach, like myself, and setup a private session.
It's that simple and once you have tried archery; you'll be hooked.
Since, the hardest part about getting started in archery is finding information. Check out my links page for links to Ontario, Canada, USA, and International organizations to help you find an archery club close to you. Once started, you can talk with your club or coach and they can provide some insight on how you can get the most out of archery.


How to tell if you should use your ISP's DNS server or a public one? Digital Inspiration recommends (and provides instructions for) using the dig tool and an IP geo-location app to find out if the CDN servers you're accessing are near you ... or on a different continent. You can also use previously mentioned Namebench to find the fastest DNS server for you. And if you heavily use your ISP's own software mirrors, gaming servers or other unmetered options, stick with the recommended settings.
Have any DNS-related tips or want to share your results? Let's hear them in the comments.
All well and good but OpenDNS just provides features that, for me, are too good to ditch. Access control, parental safety settings, anti-phishing/malware, logging, full integration with DNS-O-matic.
If you're getting CDN speed issues (given the paltry broadband speed I get if doesn't concern me much) you could always stick your nearest CDN IPs in your hosts file (or equiv).
I personally use dnsmasq on my gateway to overide certain IP with ones I manually define (to proxy geolocated services like pandora, BBC iplayer), if you have a setup like this yourself then just add the CDN IPs into that to 'fix' your network.
The fastest DNS server for me is my ISP's.
If UR on Windows you can run this DNS Benchmarking Tool to see your results. For me, my ISP Internode was fastest DNS.
A public DNS server does not mask your IP address, that's what a proxy server does.
When your ISP's DNS server (or OpenDNS' or Google's) queries the CDN's name server, the CDN's name server will return the IP address of which ever server is closest to the host making the request. Your ISP's DNS server (or OpenDNS' or Google's) then caches this response which becomes the answer that it supplies to any other queries for that domain name.
This is why if you query a North American public DNS server for the domain of a CDN you will be given a North American IP address and if you send the same DNS query to an Australian DNS server you'll normally be given a South East Asian IP address.
The assumption behind this method is that user's local DNS servers will be geographically close to the end-user's computer.

MARKING 30 YEARS SINCE TYNWALD DAY GAY RIGHTS PROTEST
– Posted on Tuesday 29th June 2021
On Tynwald Day 5 July 1991, Isle of Man gay rights campaigner Alan Shea exercised his democratic right to present a petition of grievance to the Island's Parliament, Tynwald. His petition sought a change in the Manx law relating to the decriminalisation of homosexuality.
Alan was joined on Tynwald Day by members of Outrage, a UK based gay pressure group, to stage an effective and lawful protest. Placards were held aloft, literature distributed and a stall was staffed on the Fairfield. Gay rights activism provoked strong opposition on Island and during the proceedings at Tynwald Hill, there was outright hostility from a vocal section of the crowd. Alan received death threats immediately prior to the protest and was subjected to abuse, jeers and heckling throughout the day. In contrast, off island support and encouragement came from pressure groups, high profile celebrities, international film crews and members of the public.
The event was organised by the Ellan Vannin Gay Group which championed the right of gay people in the Isle of Man to lead their lives free from fear and oppression; also their right to privately express themselves sexually without the constant fear of prosecution. With his head shaved, wearing a mock prison uniform Alan was deliberately drawing parallels between the treatment of gay people on the Isle of Man and Nazi persecution of homosexuals during the Second World War. With the threat of imprisonment for acts of homosexuality, many local gay people felt isolated and imprisoned within their own communities and targeted by police activity. A number of young men took their own lives during this period.
In 1992 Tynwald passed a law decriminalising homosexuality. In 2020 Chief Minister Howard Quayle issued an unqualified public apology to gay men convicted of same-sex offences under previous Manx laws.
To mark 30 years since Alan's protest, Alan Shea and his husband, Stephen Moore will be guests of honour at this year's Tynwald Day. Manx National Heritage will also be returning Alan Shea's protest clothing to St Johns on Tynwald Day 2021.
Katie King, Curator: Art & Social History, for Manx National Heritage said:
"Alan Shea's protest suit is one of the most important contemporary items we have in our social history collections. We are delighted to be exhibiting the suit and telling the protest story this Tynwald Day.
It is extraordinary to think how much the Island's attitude has changed. Last month thousands of people joyously attended the Island's first Pride festival, but just 30 years ago Alan was subjected to jeering and hissing as he presented his petition. His bravery and courage and the momentum built by the Ellan Vannin Gay Group's campaign led not only to a change in the law but a complete change in attitude on the Island. Watching the film footage of the protest through the lens of 2021 is truly shocking.
We are inviting people to visit the display during the afternoon, have a chat with us about this period in our history and perhaps share with us their own memories or reflections on the protest. This display forms part of our Collecting Pride project, which is a month long campaign to collect, record and represent stories from members of the Island's LGBTQIA+ community to mark the Island's first Pride festival.
We are very grateful to Alan Shea for donating his suit and his papers documenting this period. We would also like to thank Culture Vannin, who are working with us to set up the display at their office at St Johns."
The 1991 Protest display will be open from 12 noon until 4pm at Culture Vannin, Main Road, St Johns.
If you would like to contribute to Manx National Heritage's Collecting Pride campaign, please email your submission to collect@mnh.im or contact Katie King Katie.King@mnh.im for further information.


I have a small collection of rocks at home. Rocks like this one which is from the coast of Mexico. I keep them on a desk beside my bed as a reminder of places I have been, experiences I have had, and insights I have gleaned along the way. As we all know, some things in life are worth remembering, and I got to thinking about these rocks as I was working on this sermon for Confirmation Sunday.
It occurred to me that, like all of us, I have picked up some "mental rocks" in my 34 years of pastoral ministry, things that I have picked up along the way of faith and put here in my mind and heart as a way to help to me stay on the way. They have become essentials of the faith for me, sort of like the essentials that Micah gives us in the passage that Donna read. "What does the Lord require of us?" Micah asks, and then he goes on to say that what God wants us to do is to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with God.
I cannot improve upon these great requirements, as they are sometimes called, but I would like to supplement them with a few of my own on this Confirmation Sunday. There is a movie based on a novel by Nicolas Evans called The Horse Whisperer. And in the movie a horse is injured in an accident, but even after it heals physically, it remains traumatized. No one can ride it. No one can even come near it.
At the time I read a review of the movie, and in the review a real life horse whisperer was quoted as saying this about his work, "What I try to do is to teach the troubled horse a truer story about itself." A truer story about itself.
I have never forgotten that statement because it is at the heart of the gospel, the good news that God was in Christ teaching us a truer story about ourselves. Now we are told a lot of stories about ourselves, many of which are not true. And what most of these stories have in common is that they tell us that we should be this or that or the other without any reference to God, to who God is and to who we are in the eyes of God. And the truer story about ourselves that we are given through the life and ministry and the death and resurrection of Jesus is that we are all beloved children of God. Each one of us. Without exception.
Jesus expressed this so movingly in the parable of the prodigal son, when the younger son returns home, and he is so ashamed of what he has done that he asks to come back as a hired hand. But the father tells him a different story, "No," he says. "That is not who you are. You are my beloved son." And hearing that truer story about himself marks the beginning of the younger son's restoration into the good graces of his father. And for most of us this is a story that we need to hear again and again, that we are beloved sons and daughters of God, lest we be tempted to believe like that younger son a different story about ourselves, one that diminishes our worth in the eyes of God.
And the same is true for us as followers of Jesus Christ. We talked about this in confirmation, how being a Christian is like being on a team or in a choir or a band or an orchestra. We cannot be any of these by ourselves, a baseball team of one or a choral ensemble of one. So we need to keep connected to the church and to other faithful followers of Jesus.
This is a part of what Micah means when he tells us to walk humbly with God. The arrogant believe that they have no need for anyone, but the humble in the faith know that we cannot go it alone. We need God of course, but we need each other as well. The way is difficult sometimes, so we need each other's support, encouragement, and guidance. Jesus was echoing Micah when he said, "Where two or more are gathered, I am with you." Two or more. He was also echoing that waitress. You see we are like grits. As followers of Jesus, we need to come together.
There is a quote attributed to many that has become a sort of moral North Star for me. "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." There is so much that I treasure about this quote, its wise counsel about what we should assume about one another, about how we should err on the side of grace in our relations with one another, about how the golden rule should determine our treatment of one another. But what I treasure most is that its counsel is so doable. You see there are many things that most of cannot be in life. But we can all be kind if we so choose.
Kindness belongs in the category of mustard seed morals, and Jesus gave these seeds a place of prominence in the kingdom. Now acts of kindness can seem small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things, making it easy for us to go from so what to why bother in our daily interactions with one another. But in his parable of the mustard seed Jesus is telling us that any act of kindness, however small, is worth doing; and just as the tiniest of mustard seeds can become so much more, so too can our simple acts of kindness.
Tim and Kyle were best friends in high school, though theirs was a somewhat unlikely friendship. Tim was popular, a good student, a star athlete. Kyle was the studious type. They had first met in the fall of freshman year. It was a Friday afternoon, and Kyle was walking home from school, and he was carrying all of his books. Tim saw him and wondered why anyone would take all their books home on a weekend. He had a full weekend planned, and it did not include a whole lot of studying. What a nerd, Tim thought to himself.
Then Kyle turned towards Tim and he said, "Tim, you saved my life that day. You did what nobody else at school would do. You reached out to me, and I have been waiting 4 years now to thank you." When Kyle finished, the entire gymnasium was silent.
We do not always know at the time what good will come from even our smallest acts of kindness, like helping to pick up a fellow student's books, but what we do know is that Jesus has promised that when we do what is the right thing, the just thing, the kind thing we plant the mustard seeds of goodness, and in good time those seeds will bear fruit.
So, and I am saying this to our confirmands especially but to all of us really, remember to be kind. We can all do it. And remember to stay connected to other followers of Jesus. We need each other on the way. All of us. And above all, never, ever forget that we are all beloved sons and daughters of God. Each of us. Without exception. And there is no truer story about us than that because this is the story God tells us in Christ.

Gunner Brandt is a happy, spirited young boy who loves the outdoors – and as a South Florida native that includes being in or on the water. Diagnosed with autism at the age of three, and more recently with speech apraxia, Gunner does not let his limited verbal communication skills impact how he shows his affection and appreciation for those that help him throughout his day.
"He wakes up with a smile on his face and jumps on the bed – excited for the day," says Phoebe St. Germain Fellows, Gunner's mother and an ABLE United brand ambassador. Gunner's enthusiasm for life is contagious.
Prior to the launch of ABLE United, Fellows attended a workshop at Nova Southeastern University's Miami campus where she was introduced to the program that would allow her to begin saving tax-free for her son's future.
Every day, ABLE United works to provide individuals with disabilities the opportunity to save for a better life experience, and Fellows and her family continue to add funds to Gunner's account on a yearly basis.
In the future, account holders will have options – no matter what their future holds. New enhancements to ABLE United accounts include the ABLE to Work integration, which allows a beneficiary who is working and not contributing to a retirement plan, the ability to contribute above the $15,000 annual maximum contribution limit.

Kristoffer Neville's work focuses on the early modern culture in northern Europe, and particularly on the integration into a more coherent and synthetic history of art of regions and traditions that often been seen as distinct. He has recently completed a book on the cultural history and significance of the courts in Copenhagen and Stockholm within northern Europe ca 1550-1720, and is beginning work on a new project on topography as a basis for history writing, with particular focus on its significance for the formation of architectural history. Other ongoing interests include architecture around 1700, prints and publishing, and early architectural literature.

The Art and Culture of Scandinavian Central Europe, 1550–1720
2019, Penn State University Press
Kristoffer Neville, author
Politically and militarily powerful, early modern Scandinavia played an essential role in the development of Central European culture from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. In this volume, Kristoffer Neville shows how the cultural ambitions of Denmark and Sweden were inextricably bound to those of other Central European kingdoms.
Tracing the visual culture of the Danish and Swedish courts from the Reformation to their eventual decline in the eighteenth century, Neville explains how and why they developed into important artistic centers. He examines major projects by figures largely unknown outside of Northern Europe alongside other, more canonical artists—including Cornelis Floris, Adriaen de Vries, and Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach—to propose a more coherent view of this part of Europe, one that rightly includes Scandinavia as a vital component.
The seventeenth century has long seemed a bleak moment in Central European culture. Neville's authoritative and unprecedented study does much to change this perception, showing that the arts did not die in the Reformation and Thirty Years' War but rather flourished in the Baltic region.
Queen Hedwig Eleonora and the Arts, Court Culture in Seventeenth-Century Northern Europe
2017, Routledge
As queen consort and dowager, Hedwig Eleonora (1636–1715) held a unique position in Sweden for more than half a century. As the dominant collector and patron of art and architecture in the realm, she left a strong mark on Swedish court culture. Her dynastic network among the Northern European courts was extensive, and this helped to make Sweden a major cultural center in Northern Europe in the later seventeenth century. This book represents the first major scholarly publication on the full range of Hedwig Eleonora's endeavours, from the financing of her court to her place within a larger princely network, to her engagements with various cultural pursuits, to her public image. As the contributors show, despite her high profile, political position, and conspicuous patronage, Hedwig Eleonora experienced little of the animosity directed at many other foreign queens and regents, such as the Medici in France and Henrietta Maria in England. In this way, she provides a model for a different and more successful way of negotiating the difficulties of joining a foreign court; the analysis of her circumstances thus adds a substantial dimension to the study of early modern queenship. Presenting much new scholarship, this volume highlights one extremely significant early modern woman and her imprint on Northern European history, and fosters international awareness of the importance of early modern Scandinavia for European cultural history.
Nicodemus Tessin the Elder. Architecture in Sweden in the Age of Greatness
2009, Brepols Publishers
Nicodemus Tessin the Elder was an architect, gentleman, and founder of the artistic dynasty that was immensely influential at the Swedish court in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He was architect to the crown, to the nobility, and to the city of Stockholm, and he supplied buildings for a wide range of functions, from palaces to banks, courthouses, and fortifications. His unusually extensive travels in the Netherlands, Italy, France and Germany provided him with a comprehensive picture of contemporary European architecture, which he drew on as he synthesized a new group of buildings that would attract international attention as models for princely architecture. His productivity required a new approach to architecture, and he was part of the first generation of architects in northern Europe to develop the architectural studio, distinguishing the design process from the business of building, and in the process recreating himself as the modern architect.

When ordering moccasins and the correct size and width specified by customer is shipped the customer must pay for shipping and handling when a size exchange is made.

We want our customers to be 100% satisfied.
Buoys that have checked, i.e. cracked, are a common concern of the retail consumer. Please let me assure you that this is not a problem in as much as the checking does not get any worse with the passing of time. Finding a buoy that is not checked is virtually impossible and I would estimate that 98% of our buoys are found with this condition.
Checking is the result of the drying process of wood and occurs as the heart wood, i.e. center of the tree expands and contracts as the tree dries after being cut and it's bark removed.
Our buoys are made from tree length round Northern White Cedar. In other words, it is just slightly smaller than the diameter of the tree from which it is cut. The fact that the buoy is made from round tree stock means that each piece contains the center of the tree or the heart wood as opposed to products that are made from larger trees where the heart wood and checking process are eliminated by cutting.
Once the heartwood has completely dried and the checking process stops, no further cracking occurs. However, each piece of buoy wood is left with at least one or more visual harmless cracks.
Please allow us 4-6 weeks to ship a custom order of any hand painted lighthouse lamp where the customer supplies a picture of a specific lighthouse.
Please allow 2 weeks for shipping of all other buoy lamps.

This is a solid go-to. I tie mine in a few different greens and I also tie some with the "bubble" just on the top.
Thanks Matt, now can you animate that? I hate that stinken bubble, but I'll get lots of practice now due to the heat wave, no fishin' so sad.
Oh P.S They are definately worth the "troubl" as they ALWAYS catch fish.
Mr. Q, funny you ask, I am talking with Tightline Productions this weekend about animating tying instructions.


Two years ago I got the news on September 29, 2016 at a little after 5:00 pm. After countless doctors appointments, test and scans it was decided surgery was the plan of attack. March 22, 2017 was surgery day. After a year of healing it was time for a little radiation therapy! After completing radiation therapy on September 10th, I can now say I am cancer free! I was lucky it was caught relatively early!
I'm participating in the ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk for my dad, myself and for friends diagnosed with prostate cancer. I want to put an end to prostate cancer so I hope a cure will be found soon so others are spared from surgery or the other treatments currently used.. Please support me by making a tax-deductible contribution today!
Team up with me to fight prostate cancer; you'll feel proud knowing you've helped save lives.

Q: Wait for the processing of geometries to be finished in OpenLayer.js I need to transform an array of geometries to vector Layers in OpenLayers.
Here is a simple snippet of initial code:
var inputFeatureArray = [geom1, geom2, geom3, geom4, ...]
// I need to populate a second one with new ol.vector.layer
// from the geometries of the first array:
var array2 = [];

var vectorSource = new ol.source.Vector({
    features: new ol.format.GeoJSON().readFeatures(geom1,{
            dataProjection: 'EPSG:4326',
            featureProjection: 'EPSG:3857'
    }),
    projection: 'EPSG:3857'
});

var vectorLayer = new ol.layer.Vector({
    source: vectorSource,
    zIndex: 1,
    style: new ol.style.Style({
        stroke: new ol.style.Stroke({
            color: 'rgba(0, 0, 255, 1)',
            width: 2
        })
    }),
});

I was struggling a little before coming to this solution, which sounds good, but is obviously not working.
I have the feeling that the JS code doesn't wait for the second array to be actually filled...
var inputFeatureArray = [geom1, geom2, geom3, geom4, ...]

function processFeatures(inputArray) {
    let outputArray = [];
    for (feat of inputArray) {
        var vectorSource = new ol.source.Vector({
            // This may take some time...:
            features: new ol.format.GeoJSON().readFeatures(feat,{
                    dataProjection: 'EPSG:4326',
                    featureProjection: 'EPSG:3857'
            }),
            projection: 'EPSG:3857'
        });
        var vectorLayer = new ol.layer.Vector({
            source: vectorSource,
            zIndex: 1,
            style: new ol.style.Style({
                stroke: new ol.style.Stroke({
                    color: 'rgba(71, 248, 255, 0.9)',
                    width: 2
                }),
                fill: new ol.style.Fill({
                    color: 'rgba(71, 248, 255, 0.2)',
                }),
            }),
        });
        outputArray.push(vectorLayer);
    }
    return outputArray;
}

// Actual call to the function:
var array2 = processFeatures(inputFeatureArray);
console.log("array2: ", array2); // To see what's happening

There is actually no error, but the console.log() is showing empty stuff in my browser:

I don't know how to tell that piece of code to wait for the 2nd array to be actually filled (if that is the problem of course).
In the end, I want to inject all the vector layers into a map:
// Here are the vectors layers in addition to one WMS basemap:
var layers = [tileLayer, array2];

var map = new ol.Map({
    controls: ol.control.defaults().extend([
        new ol.control.ScaleLine({
            units: 'degrees',
        })
    ]),
    layers: layers, // <-- layers plugged here
    target: 'map',
    view: new ol.View({
        projection: 'EPSG:3857',
        center: ol.proj.transform(
            location.coordinates.slice(0,2),
            'EPSG:4326',
            'EPSG:3857'
        ),
        zoom: 8,
    }),
});

A: Method ol.format.GeoJSON().readFeatures is not async. If you look at your console log, you'll see there are actually four elements in the array2. If you would expand them, you would see they are OK.
The actual problem is in your assignment var layers = [tileLayer, array2] and then using layers as map layers option. This options expects an array of layers, but the second element of your layers array is an array in itself, and so OL will definitely protest with an error.
In your definition of layers you should insert tileLayer element at the start of the array2 array. One way to do this is:
var layers = [tileLayer].concat(array2);

Eventhough brewing techniques are sufficient enough to derive mild alcohols like for example beer whisky yeast, stronger alcohols and spirits sorts of whiskey and vodka will be needing one additional process that is known as distillation, and just after distillation alcohol of a strong aspect can be made.
Many types of distilleries can make drinking alcohols and spirits just like brandy, whiskey, and vodka among others and select distilleries also produce bioethanol to launch autos.
Distillation entails boiling the essential mixture so as to vaporize various ingredients which all have various boiling points and well then condense all those vapors over again to turn them back easily into fluid form. Just in case of vaporizing a lot of alcohols, the effectiveness of the expected alcohol raises up substantially now that they pass through the distillation stage. Strong alcohols like for example whiskey, vodka, and brandy, among others need to be distilled in a unique whiskey distillery, vodka distillery or brandy distillery to finally end up with definitely high proof levels.
Alcohol distillation requires heating machines to boil the mixture that has already been fermented. This fermentation is accomplished by utilizing distillers yeast that is firm enough to last in heavy alcohols while also fermenting in higher temperatures. An excellent fermenting yeast that is extra superb to average yeasts in terms of making through high temperatures and high alcohol strength is turbo yeast. This yeast is furthermore fortified with micro nutrients and does not carry any threatening bacteria or wild yeast that might end up in jammed fermentation or inconsistency in alcoholic fermentation. This yeast can be procured by means of reputed online websites and is readily available in best suited packaging for distilleries together with home-distillers.
The fermentation procedure vaporizes beer in the mixture first as its boiling point is lower than that of water. All these vapors are later cooled off and reduced straight into another unit. Several kinds of consuming alcohols and spirits are manufactured by making use of the distillation process, and this unique method has also caught the fancy of the automobile industry since bioethanol is presently employed as a bio fuel to supplement regular fuel up to 10 per cent too. This has lead to higher needs for this sort of distilled alcohols and with distillation alcohol of various types can now be produced to serve distinct industries.
As well as to proper distillation, the use of matching yeast too represents a severe job in ensuring that the very last product is produced with the desired strength, color, acidity and taste, especially in case of drinking alcohol. The fermentation of ethanol is a lengthy and elaborate method that has to be finished with greatest care and a keen eye on different parameters like temperature and strength to ensure the resultant alcohol can be greatly strengthened with a matching distillation practice. Strong yeast for instance turbo yeast can ensure bigger yields of alcohols and spirits mainly because they may really coax weak fermenting mash to make superior and higher volumes of alcohols.
Distillation of alcohols is vital to extract new forms of alcohols and spirits which may have amplified strength levels. Yet, without any accurate fermentation that gives high-quality alcohol to begin with, this distillation practice would not give for wanted alcohols with boosted proof levels. Right after distillation alcohol of a strong nature can be made, provided professional and home-based distillers keep an eagle eye on the fermentation practice itself.

Quilt heritage: Celebrate the Designs of William Morris
Try 3 issues of Today's Quilter magazine for £5
Reproduction quilts and fabrics are hot stuff in the quilting world, and this makes us so happy! As the latest William Morris fabric range is released, join us to explore the history and behind the designs of William Morris that have inspired generations of artists.
By Zoe Williams
We're so excited to bring you our new supplement, delving into the heritage of one of Britain's best-loved artists! William Morris: Celebrating the designs of the Arts & Crafts icon is available with issue 32 of Today's Quilter magazine (get the digital issue in our apps for Apple Newsstand and Google Play).
Inside your exclusive supplement
Here on the Today's Quilter team we've been planning this for months. We've toured his houses, spoken to experts from the Morris & Co. archive and National Trust, gone behind the scenes of his new fabric collection and even commissioned an exclusive quilt project filled with his iconic prints.
"I have so often looked at fabric and uttered the phrase, "Oh it's beautiful – very William Morris!" confesses our Commissioning Editor Jenny Fox-Proverbs in her welcome page. Jen has lived by the designer's best-known saying: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful," and we're pleased to reveal Sally Ablett's classic quilt project (pictured below and using the Kelmscott fabric collection) ticks both of those boxes.
Sew the look with Sally Ablett's Strawberry Thief quilt – find the instructions inside the digital issue 32 of Today's Quilter magazine.
Join us on a William Morris virtual tour
We've filled all 64 pages of our exclusive supplement with features to feed your curiosity about the man whose designs have inspired homes, design work and artists for over a century. Features Editor Jane Rae has created a 'virtual tour' of historic Morris homes and locations, and traced the landmark dates in his life and career throughout the 19th Century.
We couldn't resist finding out more about the Style Library's role as custodian of the Morris & Co. archive, and we were lucky enough to get our hands on the latest Kelmscott collection of fabrics, inspired by his Cotswold retreat and featuring iconic designs such as the Strawberry Thief, Bachelors Button and Lily Leaf. The range has been created by FreeSpirit fabrics and The Original Morris & Co.). Sally Ablett's Strawberry Thief project (long-arm quilted by Mary-Jane Hutchinson) is the perfect way to sew William Morris designs into an heirloom quilt to treasure. You'll find step-by-step instruction in the supplement.
Oh happy days! Now we can sew quilts with William Morris prints thanks to the new Kelmscott fabric collection.

Q: content empty when using scrapy Thanks for everyone in advance.
I encountered a problem when using Scrapy on Python 2.7.
The webpage I tried to crawl is a discussion board for Chinese stock market.
When I tried to get the first number "42177" just under the banner of this page (the number you see on that webpage may not be the number you see in the picture shown here, because it represents the number of times this article has been read and is updated realtime...), I always get an empty content. I am aware that this might be the dynamic content issue, but yet don't have a clue how to crawl it properly.

The code I used is:
item["read"] = info.xpath("div[@id='zwmbti']/div[@id='zwmbtilr']/span[@class='tc1']/text()").extract()

I think the xpath is set correctly and I have checked the return value of this response and it indeed told me that there is nothing under this directory. Results shown here:'read': [u'

']
If it has something, there should be something between
 and
.
Really appreciated if you guys share any thoughts on this!

A: I just opened your link in Firefox with NoScript enabled. There nothing inside the

. If I enable the javascripts, I can see the content you want. So, as you already new, it is a dynamic content issue.
Your first option is try to identify the request generated by javascript. If you can do that, you can send the same request from scrapy. If you can't do it, the next option is usually to use some package with javascript/browser emulation or someting like that. Something like ScrapyJS or Scrapy + Selenium.
