Namibia is a timeless land that offers one of the world's most unique safari experiences: tracking endangered desert-adapted black rhino on foot. In collaboration with our friends at Huab Under Canvas, our journey to see black rhinos begins in Namibia's northwestern Kunene region. This one of the last great wilderness areas in Africa that supports a truly wild population. Black rhino occupy massive home ranges; their distribution stretches across 5.7 million acres of arid communal range lands. It takes a keen expert to track the rhino herd down but, once found, it's a powerful (and very rare) sight to witness.
The black rhino population of Namibia's Kunene region is unique in that it is one of the world's most important groups to have survived outside a formally protected national park or game reserve. Historically, desert adapted black rhino (Diceros bicornis bicornis) were found across almost all of Namibia and the western parts of South Africa but, as a result of droughts and poaching, they are now limited to just northwest Namibia where 90% of this subspecies occurs.
This particular population survives in the most extreme conditions, generally with minimal rainfall per year on a sparsely vegetated landscape. Black rhino are exclusively browsers and use their prehensile lips to clip vegetation from bushes, shrubs and trees, showing a preference for the Euphorbia damarana, Euphorbia virosa and Terminalia prunoides found in this region. As a result of the harsh environment and the limited resources, home ranges can be up to ten times the size of those of other rhino populations, making space and habitat some of the key conservation variables for the species in these conditions.
Unlike the majority of game viewing you might do while in Namibia, the tracking of desert adapted rhino needs to be done on foot. The rhino in these dry parts of Namibia can seldom be seen from roads as they prefer the protection of hills and small tree-lined dry runoff lines. This means you can't just see them from a vehicle, you need to go out to look for them, and the distances that have to be covered to do so can vary. Black rhinos are large animals, and potentially aggressive on account of their fairly poor eyesight. As a result, going out to look for them is not an activity that should be taken lightly. Added to that, our aim is to have as little impact on the animals as possible, so our hope is to enjoy a sighting and then leave without them ever being aware of our presence.
The rhino ranger teams head out into the field at sunrise to visit the limited water sources in the area, mostly natural springs, where rhino drink frequently. Desert adapted rhino drink mostly at night as there is then more water available at the natural springs than there is during the day when evaporation levels are higher. Rhino rangers therefore start to track from here if they find fresh signs. One team will normally be taken out and dropped off by your guide while the other team heads out on their solar E-mountain bikes which allow them to cover far greater distances than they could when patrolling on foot. When a rhino is located they communicate with your guide via radio to let him know where they are and he will then take you out to join them.
//Huab Conservancy has two teams of highly trained and experienced rhino rangers, all of whom hail from the local area. Namibia currently has sixty full time rhino rangers, five of whom operate here. The presence of these rhino rangers has increased field patrols by 750%, rhino sightings by 450%, and is estimated to have helped reduce poaching by 80% between 2013 and 2018.
Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) was instrumental in the translocation of black rhino back into this conservancy area after years of poaching had resulted in them becoming locally extinct, and SRT has a long standing relationship with both Ultimate Safaris and the //Huab Conservancy. The initial number of rhinos re-introduced was small, but they have been constantly monitored by the Conservancy Rhino Rangers to ensure they remain safe and that this confirms the sustainability of the project. The introduction of light footprint tourism has provided more funding, increased the protection of rhino, and paved the way to increase numbers. This brings higher tourism demand and therefore more revenue generated from rhino tourism which then goes to the custodians of this area, the communities that live here.

She has long legs like a pair of rivers coming together at the source, a deep lagoon: dark, wet and mysterious. But she also has a pair of repeating words, a tattoo on her back and hands that knead you like you were dough.
She says that she killed her uncle. She walks barefoot because she feels the earth growing inside her: she says that the earth slips up through her heels and grows along her veins like power lines, or roads, grew up next to the railway.
The earth makes her strong, she says, it's how she can stand the way people stare at her. If it weren't for the earth, by now she'd be cracked like an ombú: crazy, she says.
And she says that she left a newborn baby in a field in Benítez, about five years ago. Time has clearly left its mark. So has the cumbia music she whistles as she walks down Avenida Güemes, just where Avenida Güemes starts to go downhill so sharply that it seems as though it's burrowed underground. It doesn't just lose its asphalt coating, it acquires a carpet of shards of brick that were supposedly meant to fill in the potholes around the ceramics factory.
So now you tell me a story, she says when she's finished her own. She always tells me her story. And then she chews on a blade of grass sitting by the side of the stream that bears away the waste from the pigsties and the ceramics factory behind us. On this hot evening the factory looks like a crumbling empire. I make up a story for her. She likes adventures involving warriors and princesses. She likes castles and witches. She likes landscapes that take her far away from these ruins. She likes tigers.
She's not from around here, say the taxi drivers lined up along the curve. She came with the guys who built the Federation and stayed. She lives behind the ceramics factory in an abandoned house choked with weeds. You see her with the dogs (she talks to the dogs) and hanging around with the kids from the country. They're much younger than her, they say. She can't have kids yet but the way she's going, it's only a matter of time, someone will take her, the taxi drivers say from their wicker chairs on the pavement. They don't know the girl's real story. They'd never be able to imagine the scene inside the corrugated iron shack, on a farm in Castilla, her uncle pulling her hair, tearing off her clothes, entering her with dark pleasure in his eyes and a continuous whisper on his lips. Neither are they capable of imagining her six months pregnant, on a rainy night when her uncle came back and she firmly plunged a knife into his torso, coolly, no different from slicing a loaf of bread. And they can't imagine the girl's face, the image that pursues her every time she closes her eyes lying on an old mattress in the abandoned house, of when she left her son behind – because he didn't feel like hers, he'd been born dirty – amid the bales of hay in a field in Benítez. She's unimaginable to them even though they make up stories about her, even though they're watching her now as she disappears down Avenida Güemes, swaying atop her long legs like a pair of rivers coming together at the source.

EU blocks Korean shipbuilding mega-merger
Adis AjdinJanuary 14, 2022
DSME
The European Commission has ruled against a merger between South Korean shipbuilding giants Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) and Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), claiming the move would create a dominant construction force in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier market.
The decision came after an in-depth probe by the commission, which found that the merged company would also reduce competition and increase prices for LNG carrier newbuilds. The EU estimated that over the past five years, the global LNG carrier market represented up to €40bn ($45.8bn), with European customers accounting for almost 50% of all orders.
"The merger between HHIH and DSME would have led to a dominant position in the global market for the construction of large LNG vessels, for which there is significant demand from European carriers. Given that no remedies were submitted, the merger would have led to fewer suppliers and higher prices for large vessels transporting LNG. This is why we prohibited the merger," said executive vice president Margrethe Vestager.
The EU said that a combined entity would have been by far the largest player in the world, in an already concentrated market, with a combined market share of at least 60%. The $1.8bn merger, in which HHI would take over 55.7% of DSME, was made public in March 2019. The move has already been approved by China and Singapore.
Today's prohibition is only the tenth merger that the European Commission has blocked over the past 10 years. A couple of years ago it gave its blessing for the merger of China's two largest shipbuilding groups, creating a shipyard entity larger than anything in South Korea.
Adis Ajdin
Adis is an experienced news reporter with a backgroud in finance, media and education. He has written across the spectrum of offshore energy and ocean industries for many years and is a member of International Federation of Journalists. Previously he had written for Navingo media group titles including Offshore Energy, Subsea World News and Marine Energy.
And where were EU when the Chinese state owned yards merged and created the largest shipbuilding entity in the world???
cristalla says:
This article would be better if it explained why anyone should care what the EU thinks for the merger between two non-EU entities.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. What authority does the EU have over Korean businesses?
Are you in favour of shipping being included in the EU's emissions trading scheme?


Does the term "item" in Penal Code 32.51(b)(1) mean each individual piece of identifying information, so that a single check could contain multiple "items" of information including name, date of birth, and bank account number?
Yes. The court held that while the statute was ambiguous, its interpretation is that each individual piece of identifying information can be counted as an "item" under the statute, affecting the charging level of the offense. Read opinion.
Judge Richardson wrote to note his disagreement with jury charge issues that were not material to this case but could result in errors in the future. Read.
This is a good decision, noting that the individual pieces of identifying information is how a defendant commits identity theft, not the defendant's possession of a check, credit card, or other tangible document or object. Nevertheless, the decision in fact may not go quite far enough in that it appears to hold that the examples in each subsection in Section 32.51(a)(1) are meant to express an entire "item" of identifying information. The court notes that the check possessed by the defendant in this case contained the victim's name, driver's license number, address, phone number, bank account number, and bank routing number. Instead of stating that the check contained potentially six "items" of identifying information, the court stated that the defendant possessed only two: (1) the victim's name and driver's license number; and (2) the victim's bank account number and bank routing number. To be sure, this is better than what the defendant wanted the court to hold—that the defendant possessed only one "item," the check.
Can a juvenile waive a defect in the summons for his transfer hearing to district court?
Yes. Family Code §51.09 allows a juvenile to waive any rights granted under the code or in any juvenile proceeding, so long as certain requirements are met, unless "contrary intent clearly appears elsewhere." Section 53.06(e) explicitly provides that a juvenile cannot waive service of the summons, but there is no language regarding waiver of a defect in the language of the summons or the time of service, leading the court to find such defects are waivable under the statute. Additionally, the defendant could not affirmatively show that the juvenile court that transferred his case lacked jurisdiction at the time of transfer, a requirement for a collateral attack on the transfer decision. Read opinion.
This should be a very helpful decision in juvenile cases. Juvenile defendants often argue that the juvenile court (and subsequently the adult district court) did not have jurisdiction because of mere defects in service. But keep in mind that this decision was issued on an application for a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus, and the defendant's burden was much higher. In the typical case, the State would have to satisfy each of the requirements under Section 51.09 of the Family Code before the court would make a finding of the waiver of a right by the juvenile defendant.
Can new evidence introduced in a habeas hearing adequately establish the falsity of trial testimony when the essence of that evidence was heard and rejected by the jury at the trial?
Not necessarily. In this case there was inconsistent testimony at trial from multiple sources; the new testimony presented at the habeas proceeding was mostly redundant of testimony admitted at trial from a different expert. While the habeas evidence was found to be properly credible, newly discovered evidence, it was insignificant because the jury had already heard this theory of the case at trial and returned a guilty verdict. Read opinion.
This decision will be of great interest to prosecutors who handle applications for a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. If you have a claim of newly discovered false evidence presented by one of the State's witnesses at trial, you will need to read this decision, along with the relatively recent decisions issued by the court in this rapidly evolving area of habeas corpus law.
Can the State revoke community supervision when the only failure to comply was based on the defendant's Fifth Amendment right not to be a witness against himself?
No. The legitimate exercise of Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination cannot be the reason for revocation of community supervision. In a case that has been heard and remanded from the CCA twice (here and here), the court of appeals found that the State's motion to revoke was based only on the defendant's legitimate invocation of the Fifth Amendment; thus community supervision should not have been revoked. Read opinion.
The ultimate holding in this case essentially repeats what the Court of Criminal Appeals had already previously held in this case. The State made arguments centered around estoppel and the legitimacy of the defendant's assertion of his Fifth Amendment privilege, but those arguments were rejected. The bottom line is that—at best—you are on very shaky ground in attempting to revoke a defendant's community supervision based upon a ground for which the defendant could assert his Fifth Amendment privilege.
The evidentiary panel found that respondent violated §§3.03(a)(1), 3.03(a)(5), 3.09(d), 8.04(a)(1), and 8.04(a)(3) of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct by making false assertions of fact at trial; by knowingly presenting false evidence; by not disclosing exculpatory information to the defense; and by engaging in dishonesty, fraud, and misrepresentation in the trial of Anthony Graves. As a result, the respondent was disbarred by the panel but has the ability to appeal the judgment. Read opinion.
By now, all prosecutors should be familiar with the facts surrounding the Anthony Graves case, as well as the Michael Morton case. But if not, this decision gives a very brief breakdown of what misconduct occurred on the way to giving Mr. Graves an invalid conviction for capital murder and improperly placing him on death row for a significant portion of his life. A very sobering moment for prosecutors in particular and the criminal justice system in general.


As the 50th anniversary of the founding of CCCS approached, Mahasiddhi, formerly known as Roy Peters, embarked on a journey to photograph some of his contemporaries from his time at the Centre between 1975 and 1979. The result is this series of intimate, reflective yet lighthearted portraits of just some of the movers and shakers who passed through the doors of CCCS.
With support from Roger Shannon throughout, and before his death, Michael Green, the photographer visited his old friends and colleagues in their homes or places of work, met them at cafes, and even outside a football ground. The attitude adopted was a collaborative one where the photographer allowed the sitters to squeeze something of themselves – whatever they wanted to give – through the lens.
However, as much as the portraits celebrate the individuality of each sitter, echoes of the CCCS can be perceived in all. Indeed, Mahasiddhi's approach to photography is still strongly influenced by his experiences at the Centre. The photographer is as much a 'product' of the Centre as are his subjects. Since being ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order in 2010, when he was given the name Mahasiddhi, the photographer's approach has been additonally influenced by Buddhist philosophy and practice.
Back in the CCCS forms a fitting tribute to the Centre, which not only impacted on the landscape of contemporary academic thought, but also on the lives and minds on numerous individuals.

Q: Htaccess move domains to subfolders I want to add a few rules to my .htaccess to achieve the following:

*

*domain.com/(*.) => domain.nl/en/$1

*domain.de/(*.)  => domain.nl/de/$1

*domain.nl stays domain.nl
I've been searching for quite a bit now and haven't found any solutions that help me properly. Surely this should be easy enough..

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.de [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.nl/de/$1 [R=301,L]

</IfModule>

The site is a Wordpress site that also has plenty of other rewrite rules, so I'm sure rewrite rules work. I've also placed these rules at the top of the file and the [L] directive should force it to skip any further lines..?
Finally got it to work:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.nl/en/$1 [R=301,L]

Costa Rica Unable to Send Its Cubans to Belize
written by Isabella Foster Villanueva 2015/12/09
Costa Rica News – Let's hope that the government has a back up plan for their Cuban refugee crisis, as plans A, B and C have fallen through.
Belize and Guatemala are as difficult as Nicaragua, denying passage to the 5,000 Cuban migrants who have been stranded in Costa Rica since mid-November, living in 26 shelters.
Both countries say the problem should be dealt with in the immediate region of Costa Rica and deny that it is an issue for which all of Central America should seek a solution.
The plan suggested, but denied, was to move the migrants by plane from Liberia to Belmopan, Belize, from which they would go through Mexico to the United States. Mexico has agreed to give transit visas to the Cubans.
Costa Rica urges Cubans to stop coming to Costa Rica for now because the country is near its limit and will not be able to properly care for many more people at this time.
The migration must pause for the welfare of those already here and those planning to arrive.

"Cimabue's Celebrated Madonna" by Frederic Leighton
Cimabue's Celebrated Madonna carried in Procession through the Streets of Florence
The painting "Cimabue's Celebrated Madonna carried in Procession through the Streets of Florence" as created by Frederic Leighton is massive, measuring more than two meters tall and more than five meters wide.
The painting shows a scene from the 13th-century procession. It was the procession of an altarpiece of the Madonna and Child through the streets of Florence. The detailed description was provided by a 16th-century historian Giorgio Vasari's.
The Madonna is being carried from the studio of the artist Cimabue to the church of Santa Maria Novella. Cimabue himself is depicted immediately in front of the Madonna wearing a laurel wreath.
He is followed by a group including several leading Florentine artistic figures of the day and on horseback at the right edge of the image, the King of Naples, Charles of Anjou.
The Madonna depicted, as seen from a very narrow-angle in the center of the painting, is actually not by Cimabue.
This error is the result of the miss-attributions of this altarpiece, which lasted past Leighton's time, a mistake that was not corrected until 1889.
Frederic Leighton was 24 years old when he painted this artwork, and when it was first exhibited, it was well-received. So much so that Queen Victoria purchased it on the first day of the exhibition.
The National Gallery notes Victoria's diary entry about this painting:
"There was a very big picture by a man called Leighton.
It is a beautiful painting, quite reminding one of a Paul Veronese, so bright and full of light.
Albert was enchanted with it—so much so that he made me buy it."
– Queen Victoria
Cimabue
Cimabue (1240 – 1302) was an Italian painter from Florence. Although Byzantine models profoundly influenced him, Cimabue is generally regarded as one of the first great Italian painters to break from the Italo-Byzantine style.
While medieval art at Cimabue's time was scenes that appeared flat and highly stylized, Cimabue's figures were depicted with more lifelike proportions and shading than other artists of his time.
Art History has long regarded Cimabue as the last of an era that was overshadowed by the Italian Renaissance.
Giotto eclipsed Cimabue's fame, so much so that Dante lamented Cimabue's quick loss of public interest in the face of Giotto's revolution in art:
O vanity of human powers,
how briefly lasts the crowning green of glory,
unless an age of darkness follows!
In painting, Cimabue thought he held the field,
but now it's Giotto has the cry,
so that the other's fame is dimmed.
Sir Frederic Leighton was highly successful and famous during his lifetime with many works depicting historical, biblical, and classical subjects.
Leighton was educated at University College School, London, and then received his artistic training on the European continent.
At age 17, in 1847, he met the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in Frankfurt and drew his portrait, the only known full-length study of Schopenhauer done from life.
When Leighton was 24, he studied in Florence and painted the procession of the Cimabue Madonna. From 1855 to 1859 he lived in Paris, where he met Ingres, Delacroix, Corot, and Millet.
In 1860, he moved to London, where he associated with the Pre-Raphaelites. In 1864 he became an associate of the Royal Academy, and in 1878 he became its President (1878–96).
Leighton was one of the most influential and accomplished artists of the Victorian era.
Leighton was the bearer of the shortest-lived peerage in history, 1st Baron Leighton.
After only one day, his hereditary peerage became extinct upon his death. Leighton remained a bachelor with no legitimate children.
Leighton's house in Holland Park, London, has been turned into a museum, the Leighton House Museum.
The Museum has many of his drawings and paintings. It displays some of his former art collection, including works by Old Masters and his contemporaries.

Q: Do MSTest deployment items only work when present in the project test settings file? I can't seem to grasp how MSTest deployment items are supposed to be configured. I have been able to get them working properly by modifying the project's test settings file, but this is less then ideal -- the deployment item configuration is separated from individual tests, and the file paths appear to be stored as absolute paths unless the files are under the solution folder.
Am I not supposed to be able to add a deployment item using the [DeploymentItem] attribute on either a [TestClass] or [TestMethod] without having to create/modify a project test settings file? How do I accomplish this?
(Frankly, I don't understand the need for a separate deployment item configuration -- why not just use the existing 'Copy to Output Directory' settings for project files that should be deployment items?)

A: In Visual Studio 2012 the output directory is the working directory which means that the DeploymentItem attribute isn't needed for the general case (where you don't have specific per-test or per-class deployment items). This means that if you don't need to use the DeploymentItem attribute if there is a set of files that you want all your tests to use or you are not too pernickety about each TestClass/TestMethod having separate deployment dependencies.
You can simply click Project | Show All Files and include the subfolders and files in Visual Studio with the 'Copy always' or 'Copy if newer' attribute to your project and the files will be copied to your output directory with hierarchy intact.
The same applies when running vstest.console.exe from the command line. See here for the details.
Update
There are cases where the default directory will not be the output directory. Specifically when you choose Run All Tests the default path would be under TestResults\Deploy_... The same applies when using a runsettings file or tests use DeploymentItems
The output directory will be the default directory when you are not using DeploymentItems and: -

*

*You right click the test(s) in Visual Studio and choose to run / debug, or

*You run from the command line using vstest.console.exe.

A: This post here helped me figure out what I needed to do WITHOUT having to manually add items to the .testsettings file.
Step 1 - Enable the MS Test DeploymentItem attribute.
First up, we need to turn on / enable the DeploymentItem attribute.
Go to TEST -> EDIT TEST SETTINGS -> Current Active settings .. eg :: Local (local.testsettings)

Now goto DEPLOYMENT and make sure Enable Deployment is ticked ON. (By default, it's off).

Step 2 - Check the File's properties
Now we need to make sure the file which you wish to use in the unit test, is setup to be copied to the BIN directory when you compile. Only files that are in the BIN directory can be used in an MS Test unit test. Why? Because each time an MS Test is ran, it has to make a copy of the sources ... and this means it makes a copy of the current BIN directory files (for the current Configuration).
For example... Current Configuration is Debug (as opposed to Release).

I then add my file ... (take note of the folder structure in the Project)...

and then make sure this file is ALWAYS copied over to the bin directory when the project is compiled.

PRO TIP: Copy Always will also work, but always copy the source file over the destination file .. even if they are identical. This is why I prefer Copy if Newer ... but whatever floats your boat
Ok ladies and gents - still with me? Wikid.
When we compile, the file should now exist in the Bin dir....

Step 3 - Now use the DeploymentItem attribute
Ok, now we can finally use the DeploymentItem attribute in our code. When we do this, this tells the MSTest to copy the file (from the location relative to the bin directory) to the new MS Test directory...
[TestMethod]
[DeploymentItem(@"Test Data\100LogEntries.txt", "Test Data")]
public void Parsing100LogFileEntriesReturnsANewParsedLogEntriesWith100Items()
{
    // Arrange.
    const string fileName = @"Test Data\100LogEntries.txt";
    ILogEntryService logEntryService = new PunkBusterLogEntryService();

    // Act.
    var parsedLogEntries = logEntryService.ParseLogFile(fileName, 0);

    // Assert.
    Assert.IsNotNull(parsedLogEntries);
    Assert.AreEqual(100, parsedLogEntries.LogEntries.Count);
    // Snipped the remaining asserts to cut back on wasting your time.
}

So let's break this down..
[TestMethod]

We all know what that is.
[DeploymentItem(@"Test Data\100LogEntries.txt", "Test Data")]

Starting in the bin directory, go into the Test Data folder and copy the 100LogEntries.txt file to a destination folder Test Data, in the root MS Test output directory which MS Test creates when each and every test is ran.
So this is what my output folder structure looks like (excuse all the mess).

and voila! we have deployment files, programmatically.
PRO TIP #2 - if you don't use a 2nd string argument in the DeploymentItem attribute, then the file will be copied to the root OUT folder, of the current MS Test.
const string fileName = @"Test Data\100LogEntries.txt";

Now the path to the file is relative to the OUT folder for the current MS Test. As such, I explicitly said to deploy the file into a directory called Test Data ... so I need to make sure I reference that correctly in my code when I want to read in the file.
Just to confirm -> the full path of that filename is translated to something like C:\lots of blah blah blah\My Solution\TestResults\PureKrome_PUREKROME-PC 2011-01-05 23_41_23\Out\Test Data .. for that current MS Test.

A: I thought I'd share a way I ran into problems with MSTest and deployment items.  If you Debug/Run your test a 2nd time or more from the "Test Results" window, it uses the settings from a previous run.  However, if you Debug/Run the same test from the "Test View" window, it uses the latest settings.  I lost an hour to trying to figure out why changes to Local.testsettings weren't being used when I kept starting Debug on the same test from the "Test Results" window.
This is the Test Results window (do not [re]start tests from here after making changes to Local.testsettings):

And this is the Test View window (DO start tests from here after making changes to Local.testsettings):

I hope this saves someone a headache in the future.

A: If you need separate deployment item in individual test cases then please go ahead and use [DeploymentItem("string file path")] attribute in each test cases.

A: For my case, I add the DeploymentItem attribute, it can't take effect immediately. I have to close and re-open the solution, then the configured DeploymentItem  attributes will take effect.

A: Looks like this works by default in VS.NET 2012

A: In VS 2012, All you need is to make the log4net.properties (or whatever config file for log4net ) file Copy if newer. ( right click log4net.properties file to bring up the properties and configure it )

A: Suns of Suckerfish teaches how to get there. (Example.)
edit: Now  that you posted the :active and :hover CSS, I can see you're missing a # in the beggining of the rule. So it is being applied to the "navigation" tags instead of the tags with "navigation" id. Change your CSS to add the # before "navigation":
#navigation li a:hover{

James Morgan Read, II (1908–1985) was a Quaker and President of Wilmington College, Ohio from 1960 to 1969. He also served as United Nations Deputy High Commissioner from 1951 to 1960, and was a vice president of the Charles F. Kettering Foundation from 1969 until his retirement in 1974.

Early life
Read was born in Camden, New Jersey, the son of James Morgan Read, Sr., a Methodist Minister. He graduated from Dickinson College, Pennsylvania, in 1929, and went on to earn a D. Phil. from Marburg University in 1932, and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1940.

Career
From 1932 to 1934 Read taught history at Lycoming College and served as Associate Professor of History and then Chairman of the Social Sciences Department at the University of Louisville from 1935 to 1943. In 1940 he married Henrietta Morton.

In 1941 he authored Atrocity Propaganda, 1914-1919, a book critical of allied deception techniques in propaganda during the first world war, originally published for the University of Louisville by Yale University Press.

From 1943 to 1945, as a conscientious objector, Read was employed in the Civilian Public Service, after which he took a job as Associate Secretary of the Friends Committee on National Legislation in Washington DC, where he focused his efforts on legislation for displaced persons. He continued this work as Secretary in the Foreign Service Section of the American Friends Service Committee from 1947 to 1949, overseeing the organization's relief work in the immediate postwar period.

In 1949, Read joined the Society of Friends as a member of the Gwynedd, Pennsylvania, Monthly Meeting. In 1950 he was named Chief of the Division of Education and Cultural Relations of the United States High Commissioner for Germany. From 1951 to 1960 he served as the United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva, and was briefly appointed Acting High Commissioner for a few months in 1956. He returned to the academic world as President of Wilmington College, Ohio from 1960 to 1969.

Read stepped down as President of Wilmington College in 1969 to become vice-president of the Charles F. Kettering Foundation. In 1974, when he attained the mandatory retirement age, Read chose to continue his association with the Foundation, serving as Senior Consultant in International Affairs. Two years after Henrietta Read's sudden death from cancer in 1976, James Read married Theresa K. Dintenfass.

In his capacity as Senior Consultant in International Affairs, Read was involved in three of the Dartmouth Conferences (XII, XIII, and XIV), a series of informal talks between leading citizens of the US and USSR initiated at the suggestion of President Eisenhower and administered and co-sponsored by the Kettering Foundation. He also acted as Rapporteur for the third Soviet-American Writers Conference held in the USSR in 1979.

Read also wrote a report for Kettering on the Council on Foreign Relations' fifth Conference on the US-Canada Relationship in 1981. Read maintained his involvement with the American Friends Service Committee, serving on the AFSC Board of Directors as member and Chair of the AFSC Information and Interpretation Committee. He was also Clerk of the Quaker United Nations Committee in New York and made a study of the Special Committee of the UN General Assembly Banning the Use of Force. His experience with the UN also led to his involvement with the US Committee for the United Nations Institute for Training and Research. In 1983, he acted as a Consultant to Crosscurrents to study the possibility of establishing an office for the Friedrich Naumann Foundation.

When I was a child I was a very fussy eater. Fruit and vegetables were not common features on my plate. Then started the popularity of the smoothie bar and slowly but surely I became more willing to incorporate these "items" into my diet.
To this day, my favourite smoothie to order is a "Strawberry Blonde". Maybe it's because I'm a gingernut myself. Maybe it's because I love the thick texture provided by the banana and the sweetness from the strawberries.
Even when making smoothies at home, this is one of my faves. Although, sometimes I like to swap the strawberries for blackberries when the hedgerows of Monaghan are blooming towards the end of the summer.
In this recipe I have used almond milk because it suits me best. Coconut milk works exceptionally well as it gives a little Piña Colada twist – pass the mini umbrellas please! Dairy milk is perfect to use in this recipe and is the best choice if you don't want other flavours overpowering the fruit.
Put all the ingredients for your chosen smoothie into a food processor or blender, then process until smooth and thick.
Serve immediately between 2 chilled glasses.

I was a little over-confident on Saturday but I learned my lesson (yet again) after staying up most of the night waiting in vain the first litter for this year to arrive.
Over the last few weeks I had been convinced that Saturday would be farrowing day mostly because her last litter came after just 112 days. However Esther had her own ideas on the subject and decided to hang on a little longer this time.
As a result she was quite a size by Sunday morning so I knew it couldn't be too much longer.
There was a brief period at the start where just the single piglet was suckling which was a strange sight but it wasn't long before the others turned up.
Eventually we ended up with 10 healthy looking piglets under the heat lamp while we waited for Esther to settle down. Even though the piglets should ideally suckle as soon as possible, the best approach for me is to dry them off and put them under the heat lamp out of the way. This helps to prevent any unfortunately accidents or losses which can be really hard to take.
There was a slightly nervous 2 hour wait after the last live piglet appeared but that was eventually ended by the arrival of a stillborn piglet.
Two of them were just a little smaller and seemed to be struggling as first which is always a worry. They immediately went into a warm place which unlike last year was not the oven! This time we used an insulated bag with a hot water bottle and within an hour or so they were much more lively. Definitely something we will use again as it means you can keep all the piglets in the same place rather than dashing between the farrowing shed and the house to check on everyone.
In due course a few of these will be for sale as weaners but this year some of them were reserved in advanced and we also need to consider if we are keeping some for meat ourselves. I'll also keep an eye on the calendar too because Sissy will be due to farrow a couple of weeks after these piglets have left.
For the moment though we can just enjoy watching their progress over the coming few weeks.
Oh what lovely little things, don't they have pretty looking ears?! And what a good haul! We will be in the market for a couple of weaners later this year, will you be posting any availability on here?
Yes, I'll be advertising a few weaners for sale in the next week or two but some of this litter were already reserved. However, from looking at your blog it appears you're in Hampshire which is surely too far from us in Northumberland!

Telling Sky
By: Kris Owen
In the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Pennacook Indian tribe evolves with each generation. Traditions change and individuals adapt, but the tribe's deep history grounds family members in faith, love, and understanding. Three generations face hardship. Oftentimes, they find themselves wondering how tragedy fits into the grander scheme of life. During these struggles, they turn to the gods and the wisdom of their ancestors to guide them.
After her husband's life-threatening accident, Anna finds her life turned upside down. Days that were once filled with laughter and love have been replaced with hospital visits, the beeps of medical machines, and friends attempting to comfort her. Soon after her husband falls in a coma, Anna discovers that they are pregnant. She's hopeful that this beautiful event will return her husband to her, especially as she continues to feel his presence and even hear his voice throughout her days.
However, she soon must face that her life will never return to the normal it once was, and she faces a crossroad. Will she continue to hang on to hope for the life she once had? Or will she allow herself to move on and experience happiness once again? And who will guide her daughter, Sky, through the challenges of life, whenever she struggles to balance her past with her present?
Kris Owen has been telling stories since childhood, which developed into a reporting job for a New Hampshire newspaper as an adult. Her passion for writing and stories continues to grow, as does her deep connection with her family. Telling Sky is her first novel and was written for her sister. Kris lives in Campton, New Hampshire.

Q: How do I make DRY code using generated WCF proxies from overlapping WSDLs I have a bunch of WSDLs from our customer describing webservices that I have to use in my application.
There is one webservice for creating items, one for querying them and one for updating them. These WSDLs have a lot of overlap. The items I have to create, query and update are present in all three WSDLs in the same way.
When I use svcutil, I can generate proxies for the three WSDLs, but then every proxy defines the items again. So I have the same class, three times, only in a different namespace.
Working with this forces me to duplicate a lot of code (e.g. mapping a domein object on a proxy class has to be done for every proxy in exactly the same way).
The only solution I can think of is to manually edit the proxies and take out the overlap. However, I think that will make it difficult to manage changes in the web interfaces when I regenerate the proxies.
I wonder if it is possible to somehow generate all the proxies in one go.
Thanks in advance.

A: You might consider writing a program that parses all the customer WSDLs and stores the operations, etc in a map (or multimap) of some sort. Then iterate over the map and remove the duplicates and write the result to another, final WSDL and codegen on this one. You'll have to do something with the namespaces though.
Something to consider though: would the code needed to do so be more than the extra code you're already duplicating?
Another option could be to define a Proxy class for the duplicated operations. You would have to initialize it by adding the operations with the namespace (create a map of namespace strings to a map of operations, which itself would be the operation strings mapped to the code/object to execute). Then each time you want to perform a specific operation, pass in the namespace string to operate on.
Imagine we had Op1 defined in namespaces ns1, ns2, and ns3 and Op2 in ns1 and ns2. Then the pseudo-code (strongly c++ biased) could be something like:
class ProxyOperations
{
    addOperation(string opName, string namespace, OperationBase op);
    // You'll have to figure out what to do with the operation parameters,
    // maybe wrap them in a parameter context
    void doOperation(string opName, string namespace) {
        // lookup operation object and execute it
    }
    typedef map<string, OperationsBase> OperMap;
    typedef map<string, operMap> NamespaceMap;
    NamespaceMap namespaceOperationMap_;
};

{
    ProxyOperations po;

    // Populate it
    po.addOperation("Op1", "ns1", oper1ObjectNs1);
    po.addOperation("Op1", "ns2", oper1ObjectNs2);
    po.addOperation("Op1", "ns3", oper1ObjectNs3);

    po.addOperation("Op2", "ns1", oper2ObjectNs1);
    po.addOperation("Op2", "ns2", oper2ObjectNs2);

    // now use it
    po.doOperation("Op1", "ns2");
}

From critically acclaimed author Howard Andrew Jones comes a fantastical adventure of deep-water danger and unlikely alliances in Pathfinder Tales: Beyond the Pool of Stars, set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Role playing Game.
HOWARD ANDREW JONES is the acknowledged expert on fiction writer Harold Lamb. He is the Managing Editor of Black Gate magazine, and he blogs regularly at its website, blackgate.com. He lives in Indiana with his family.
Revealed early on to prefer men to women, the narrative of the book is nonetheless unconcerned for the most part about Ivrian's sexuality – which only makes sense when the characters are fighting for their lives against both the dangers of the jungle and the lethality of deceitful politics.


25 fished the Arches and Dredger lengths, with all framing weights being made up of mostly skimmers off the shallow pegs below the Car Park.
18 fished the Willowbeds length. Despite unfavourable conditions, weights were predominantly made up of roach, with the odd expected skimmer also making an appearance.
Full results for the 2nd round of the Winter League will be posted soon.

June 14 - With a firm judge, lawyers who focused their arguments and didn't speak in sound bites, and a serious, deliberative jury, Timothy McVeigh's trial just might help polish the tarnished image of America's justice system.
"I would say that this trial helped mend the black eye that the Simpson trial had given the justice system," said Laurie Levenson, associate dean of Loyola Law School in California.
The Oklahoma City bombing trial lasted 5 1/2 weeks, from opening statements to guilty verdict. O.J. Simpson's criminal trial on charges he killed his ex-wife and her friend dragged on for nearly 8 1/2 months.
Simpson's jury, with 10 members replaced for various problems, deliberated less than four hours before acquitting the former football star.
The 12 original jurors in McVeigh's case remained intact and deliberated for 23 1/2 hours over four days before convicting him of 11 murder and conspiracy charges in connection with the bombing that killed 168 people.
"I think everyone, including the defense, was looking over their shoulder at O.J.," said John Walsh, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice in Denver.
Attorneys following the McVeigh trial said the contrast springs from the fundamental differences in the cases, the absence of cameras in the courtroom and the firm hand of U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch.
"It really is the antithesis of the Simpson criminal case, and I think that's a wonderful sign for America," said Andrew Cohen, a Denver attorney and legal analyst for The Denver Post. "This case proves that if you have a good judge who takes control of the case, you can have an orderly trial, a fair trial and a trial that works the way the law is supposed to work."
The interest in the Simpson case was "quite frankly lurid," Walsh said. "It was a murder case involving a celebrity. This case was much more fundamental than that - so many hundreds and thousands of people directly involved, so many innocent people killed." Cohen called Matsch "the anti-Ito" because his decisive courtroom style differs so strongly from the laissez-faire manner of Lance Ito, the judge in Simpson's criminal trial who put up with grandstanding and bickering among the lawyers.
"He (Matsch) wasn't going to allow the lawyers to play games in court," Cohen said.
Matsch also "kept both sides focused on what really was evidence," Walsh said.
He blocked prosecutors from putting on some particularly gruesome victim testimony, and he stymied the defense's bid to suggest a larger conspiracy in the April, 19, 1995, bombing.
The absence of television cameras, which are barred from federal courtrooms, helped keep lawyers in the McVeigh case in check, Walsh said.
"It wasn't entertainment in the way that televised high-profile trials have been," Walsh said. "I think the good news is that it goes a long way toward rehabilitating the image of judges, lawyers and even the system of justice that we have," said Christopher Mueller, a University of Colorado law professor.

Q: Treat id as VARCHAR when inserting and as NUMBER when querying on Hibernate I need to map a legacy Oracle database table, lets call it LEGACYOTB, using hibernate. Its primary key is a number sequence and this table assigned it a SQl type VARCHAR() that ranges from '1' to '99999', —note: not '00001' but '1' without the zerofill. I cannot change this id column as of this moment to NUMBER() because simply it a legacy database.
My problem is: what would my Domain class should look like for it to able to:

*

*Perform a query to the Domain class similar to this:
SELECT MAX(TO_NUMBER(ID)) FROM LEGACYOTB

*Perform an insert on that domain class:
INSERT INTO LEGACYOTB(ID, ...) VALUES(...)

Without encountering a similar sql error:

ORA-01722: Invalid number

I used projection { max ('id') } but rather than using the query on #1, it uses this instead:
SELECT MAX(ID) FROM LEGACYOTB

Notice without the To_NUMBER() function— even though I mapped id as Long, it still treat 9 larger than 1000. And that's also the same reason that causes inserts to fail.

A: I guess the target of your question is to determine the next id for inserting a new row in your table LEGACYOTB.
I think best practice is to let the database do this job for you:

*

*create a database sequence to get next id value

*set the id by database trigger.

for example
create sequence LEGACYOTB_ID
  minvalue 1
  maxvalue 999999999999999999999999999
  start with 991 -- current max value + 1
  increment by 1;

create or replace trigger "LEGACYOTB_ID_BIER"
  before insert on LEGACYOTB
  for each row
declare
  -- local variables here
begin

  select to_char(LEGACYOTB_ID.nextval)
    into :new.id
    from dual;
end;

A: Simply keep the String entity field and switch from Criteria API to HQL or SQL, than you could get the new ID from a query like this:
select max(to_number(id)) FROM LegacyOtbEntity

Using Criteria API for such simple and static query is overkill anyway.
If you really need Criteria API, than you can create duplicate (read only) field annotated with @Formula:
@Formula("TO_NUMBER(ID)")
private Long numberId;

and than use it in the projection Projections.max("numberId").


Younger travelers today are increasingly mobile-equipped, and they don't want to be tethered to pre-set, roundtrip flight itineraries, according to Priceline.com's latest study of airline ticket booking trends among travelers equipped with iOS, Android and other mobile devices. The data is similar to what Priceline.com saw in earlier studies of hotel reservation trends and paints a picture of a mobile device-equipped consumer whose travel booking practices and preferences are very different from travelers who plan their trips using desktop computers and laptops.
These mobile-equipped consumers like to plan travel on the fly, rather than far in advance, according to Priceline.com. In addition, the average age of a mobile air booker is 32 (six years younger than the average desktop air booker). Nearly half book one-way tickets so they can adjust their length of stay or return from a different city. And mobile air bookers paid less for their tickets (average $283) compared to desktop users (average $315).

Q: SQL columns based on select values Would like to get data with preferably one query, but columns are dynamical based on selected values.
So my tables look like this (using MySql):
CREATE TABLE 'users' (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(45) NOT NULL
)

CREATE TABLE `income` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `timestamp` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `user` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `day` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `action_a` decimal(10,2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.00',
  `action_b` decimal(10,2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.00',
  `action_c` decimal(10,2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)

CREATE TABLE `given` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `timestamp` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `day` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `to_user` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `from_user` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `amount` decimal(10,2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)

Would like to get in one query table that look something like this:
+------------+--------------+----------+----------+----------+
| day | action_a | action_b | action_c | user_B   | user_C   |
+------------+--------------+----------+----------+----------+
| 123 | 123.01   | 123.01   | 123.01   |  123.01  | -123.01  |
| 122 | 324.02   | 234.01   | 123.01   | -123.01  | -123.01  |
| 121 | 987.00   | 345.01   | 123.01   |  123.01  | -123.01  |
| 120 | 9393.01  | 456.01   | 123.01   | -123.01  | -123.01  |
| 119 | 0.00     | 567.01   | 123.01   | -123.01  | -123.01  |
 ...

Negative values in user columns means user gave to other user
Currently I'm doing 3 separate queries and afterwards merging data, but my current queries look like this:
Get action based income
Select action_a, action_b, action_c From income i Join users u on u.id=i.user Where u.name='%s' and i.day=%i Order by i.id desc

Get received
Select u2.name 'from', amount From given g Join users u on u.id = to_user Join users u2 on u2.id = from_user Where u.name='%s' and amount <> 0.0 Order by g.id

Get given
Select u2.name 'to', amount From given g Join users u on u.id = from_user Join users u2 on u2.id = to_user Where u.name='%s' and amount <> 0.0 Order by g.id desc

SQLFiddle link

A: An example of normalised income/income_action tables might be as follows:
CREATE TABLE income
(income_id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY
,dt datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
,user INT NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE income_action
(income_id INT NOT NULL
,action CHAR(1) NOT NULL
,value DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.00',
,PRIMARY KEY(income_id,action)
);

Force India not ready for 2012 podiums - Hulkenberg

Nico Hulkenberg has played down claims Force India could be a podium-getting 'dark horse' of the 2012 season.
Behind the top battle involving Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes, there appears a closely-packed midfield, with potential challengers including Ferrari, Toro Rosso, Sauber and Force India.
German Hulkenberg is returning to F1 with Silverstone based Force India this season, after being ousted by Williams at the end of 2010.
Asked what his goals are by Germany's Sport1, the 24-year-old answered: "First I want to establish myself (in F1), after the bad experience of 2010.
"A couple of points would also be great," he smiled.
Some pundits, however, are predicting that podiums may be possible for Hulkenberg - the 2010 Brazil GP pole sitter - and his highly rated teammate Paul di Resta.
"Clearly this is a dream," the German admitted.
"But at the moment I don't think that's our goal. Of course if we should be in that situation in a race, then we will try everything for it."
Hulkenberg conceded that Force India is not ready to challenge F1's frontrunners.
"I think Red Bull have their nose in front again, and McLaren are the closest to them. I have no idea what Ferrari are doing at the moment and Mercedes is also difficult to assess because they haven't shown much."
He said countryman Sebastian Vettel's crown, however, may be challenged.
"It's clear that he is the man to beat," said Hulkenberg.
