Tony Perkins, president of the anti-LGBTQ hate group Family Research Council, had an open door to President Donald Trump's Oval Office until January 20. Now he says President Joe Biden's policies are "literally from the pit of hell."
Perkins, who continues to serve as Vice Chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, was also on President Donald Trump's evangelical executive advisory board. He, along with Vice President Mike Pence, were able to convince Trump to ban transgender service members from the U.S. Armed Forces.
"These are challenging times, I'm not, I am not gonna put any kind of spin on it, the policies that are coming out of this administration are literally from the pit of hell," Perkins told end times pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in California, as Right Wing Watch reports.
"Within, within hours of taking office, forcing you as a taxpayer to be involved in funding abortions, not just here in America and abroad, around the world. The attack on religious freedom. The attack on our children with forcing schools, this transgenderism on elementary schools, secondary schools, colleges and our nation's military, our military has now become once again, a laboratory for social experimentation," Perkins lamented.
"They're treating our men and women in uniform as if they were laboratory rats for their social policy. So America's in a very, I would say precarious situation."

Republican Candidate in Secret Recording Says He Has Access to Russian Hit Squad and Would 'End' Opponent's Life: Report
"I know what I'm doing is noble, and I'm just trying to remain a humble servant of God," says William Braddock
In a Politico bombshell report William Braddock, a Florida Republican congressional candidate can be heard saying he has access to Russian and Ukrainian hit squads, "billions of dollars" in offshore cash, and would "end" the life of one of his Republican political opponents, a Trump-endorsed candidate named Anna Paulina Luna, "if it needs to be done."
"I really don't want to have to end anybody's life for the good of the people of the United States of America," Republican William Braddock can be heard saying in the clip (below). "That will break my heart. But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Luna is a f—ing speed bump in the road. She's a dead squirrel you run over every day when you leave the neighborhood."
Braddock on Monday filed to run for the seat of U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL), who is not seeking re-election next year so he can run for governor. Luna (photo, top) is also running for that seat, and lost to Crist in 2020 but managed to get 47% of the vote.
"During a 30-minute call with a conservative activist that was recorded before he became a candidate, William Braddock repeatedly warned the activist to not support GOP candidate Anna Paulina Luna in the Republican primary for a Tampa Bay-area congressional seat because he had access to assassins," Politico reports.
"In the recording, Braddock early in the call brought up the alleged assassins. He also made rambling statements about getting financial help from fellow Freemasons or by somehow importing millions of dollars from Malta and Gibraltar."
"I have access to a hit squad, too, Ukrainians and Russians," he said about three minutes into the call, adding "don't get caught out in public supporting Luna. … Luna's gonna go down and I hope it's by herself."
"She's gonna be gone. Period. That's the end of the discussion," Braddock can be heard saying.
Asked how that will happen, he replies: "I call up my Russian — Ukrainian hit squad, and within 24 hours, they're sending me pictures of her disappearing."
"No, I'm not joking," he adds. "Like, this is beyond my control this point."
"Russian mafia. Close-battle combat, TEC-9s, MAC-10s, silencers kind of thing. No snipers. Up close and personal. So they know the person – they know that the target has gone."
He goes on to say, "I know what I'm doing is noble, and I'm just trying to remain a humble servant of God."
The recording was made "just after midnight last Wednesday," Politico says, and the activist who made it "promptly turned it over to St. Petersburg, Fla., police and gave a heads-up to her friend Luna, who filed a petition for an injunction against Braddock."
Below is the audio published by Politico. The activist who recorded it says it was not altered. Braddock told Politico "there is no proof" it is his voice in the recording and called it "a dirty political tactic that has caused a lot of people a lot of stress and is completely unnecessary."

'Putin's Favorite Congressman' Marched on the Capitol in 'Protest' – but Says He Didn't Want 'To Make a Scene'
Meaghan Ellis – Alternet
A California lawmaker, often referred to as "Putin's favorite congressman" due to his presumed loyalty to Russian President Vladimir Putin, has admitted that he did attend the "Save America Rally" prior to the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, although he claims he advised the angry mob not to storm the Capitol building.
During an interview on Monday, June 14, former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) confirmed he was in attendance at the rally after social media users spotted him in photos from the event.
"I marched to protest, and I thought the election was fraudulent and it should be investigated, and I wanted to express that and be supportive of that demand," Rohrabacher told the Press Herald. "But I was not there to make a scene and do things that were unacceptable for anyone to do."
While he did acknowledge that he attended the rally and supported former President Donald Trump's fight to overturn the election, he went on to explain why he opposed the idea of storming the Capitol.
"By going into the building, they gave the Left the ability to direct the discussion of what was going on in a way that was harmful to the things we believe in," Rohrabacher said, as he went on to blame "Leftist provocateurs" for allegedly encouraging the angry mob to breach the federal building.

Rohrabacher's interview follows his lost bid for re-election. After losing the election, Rohrabacher decided to relocate to another state. He explained why he chose Maine as his destination.
"I was looking for a nice place to live, and Maine's about the nicest place in the world," he said. "I will tell you nothing comes anywhere close to Maine."
"That guy up in New York, (former Mayor Michael) Bloomberg, spent $4.5 million in the last week of the 2018 campaign to defeat me, but I don't feel bad about it," he added. "They did me a big favor."
Watch: Anti-Vaxxer Tells Lawmakers COVID Vaccine Makes People Magnetic and Lets Them Hang Spoons From Their Bodies
Ohio lawmakers debating a bill Tuesday that would allow anyone to refuse any vaccine for any reason and would give them the "right" to not be "discriminated" against or even asked about their vaccination status, heard from Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, recognized as one of the world's top spreaders of vaccine disinformation.
After falsely claiming that 5000 Americans have died from the coronavirus vaccine, Dr. Tenpenny told lawmakers that the injections, which have saved countless lives around the world, make people magnetic.
"Right now we're all kind of hypothesizing," a fast-talking Tenpenny said, after being asked about the "EMF frequencies," also known as electromagnetic frequencies, she "hypothesizes" are associated with the COVID-19 vaccine.
"I mean what is it that's actually being transmitted that's causing all of these things? Is it a combination of the protein which now we're finding has a metal attached to it?" Tenpenny posited to lawmakers.
"I'm sure you've seen the pictures all over the internet of people who've had these shots and now they're magnetized, and put a key on their forehead, it sticks, they can put spoons and forks all over them and they can stick because now we think that there's a metal piece to that," she claimed, not saying who "we" refers to. There is exactly zero proof this is legitimate.
She also pushed the false claim that vaccinated people are shedding unknown properties onto unvaccinated people.
"There has been people who've long suspected that there was some sort of an interface," she continued, using air quotes, "yet to be defined in the interface between what's being injected in these shots, and all of the 5G towers. Not proven yet, but we're trying to figure out what is it that's being transmitted to these unvaccinated people."
The name of the Ohio bill, HB 248, is the "Vaccine Choice and Anti-Discrimination Act," to protect science-denying unvaccinated Ohioans from discrimination.
As far as Dr. Tenpenny goes, the Center for Public Integrity reports "Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, who offers a $595, eight-week course in anti-vaccine talking points despite a federal judge having found her 'unqualified' to weigh in as an expert witness on a vaccine-related lawsuit ('Television interviews do not an expert make,' he wrote)."

Crozet Islands: installing our last hydroacoustic station
If you are not a marine biologist, the chances are that you have never heard of the Crozet Islands in the South Indian Ocean. These French administered islands, with a human population of only 40, are a unique nature reserve and one of the remaining 'untouched' places on earth. But it's not only the unique flora and fauna that make these remote islands a very special place.
In February 2016, Jerry Stanley and Mario Zampolli, hydroacoustic experts from the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), went on a mission to add another important role for the archipelago; the installation of the CTBTO's last hydroacoustic station, HA04.
The Crozet Islands are home to thousands of king penguins. Click to enlarge.
HA04 is one of eleven hydroacoustic stations that monitor the oceans for signs of nuclear explosions. Low frequency underwater sound, which can be produced by a nuclear test, propagates very efficiently through water. Consequently these underwater sounds can be detected at great distances, sometimes thousands of kilometers, from their source. This means that the International Monitoring System (IMS) requires only a few hydroacoustic stations to provide effective monitoring of the world's oceans for signs of nuclear explosions.
The IMS also monitors the Earth's crust and atmosphere: 170 seismic stations monitor the ground for shockwaves, 60 infrasound stations listen for atmospheric waves, while 80 radionuclide stations sniff the air for traces of radioactivity – see interactive map.
The hydrophones float in a channel where sounds travels very efficiently. This channel varies in depth around the world's oceans, but is typical found at a depth of several hundred meters at Crozet.
The Crozet Islands are the ideal observation point from the acoustic point of view. If you place receivers there you can hear sounds from the Southern Atlantic all the way to the Indian Ocean. It is just like being in the perfect spot - the perfect lookout.
Mario Zampolli, Hydroacoustic Engineer
The installation of hydrophones at one of the most remote places on earth is a challenging ocean engineering project and a complex logistical operation.
The station will use six hydrophones (underwater microphones) to monitor underwater sounds deep in the ocean. The HA04 hydrophones send their data via underwater cables, which are tens of kilometres long, to a receiving facility, the Central Recording Facility (CRF), on the island. From there the data is forwarded via satellite to the CTBTO in Vienna.
With no airstrip available on, or anywhere near, the Crozet Islands the HA04 installation team and its equipment was transported to the island on the Marion Dufresne II, a French oceanographic research and deep water survey vessel - a roundtrip journey of over 5,000 kilometres.
The experts' first task was to install the upgraded CRF on the archipelago's main island, Possession Island (Île de la Possession). The CRF includes communication equipment and equipment for processing the hydrophones' data. Within a few days of arrival of the team all the equipment was shipped to the island, installed and the dedicated satellite data connection to Vienna commissioned and tested.
The Marion Dufresne II, one of the world's biggest and most sophisticated oceanographic research and deep water survey vessels, supported the mission. It is specifically designed to withstand the extremely rough weather conditions, which are often found around the Crozet Islands.
We have been installing with our contractor this hydroacoustic laboratory. It is ready to receive data from the underwater system. That comes into two computers where the data from the north and south underwater triplets is formatted and mixed with time stamps from GPS. This is then transferred to CTBTO computers which, via satellite link, forward everything in real time to Vienna.
The second task was to pave the way for safely landing, routing and laying of the underwater cables connecting the CRF to the hydrophones. Sea bed bottom surveys were conducted from a depth of 10 m to depths of over 2,000 m so the team could see the bottom topography and detect any underwater objects that could interfere with the safe installation of the cables. In past centuries, the island was used by the whaling industry so objects hazardous to the installation such as shipwrecks, machinery and anchors were to be expected; and indeed shipwrecks were identified.
Possible north and south cable routes (black lines) superimposed upon the bathymetric survey data.
We will have cables going out north of the island 40 to 50 kilometres to where we are going to install the hydrophones. These cables will be there for over 20 years. We need to understand the seabed profile to put the cables in places where the risk of abrasion or damage by the seafloor is minimized.
Jerry Stanley, Hydroacoustic Officer
Thirdly, all objects that might compromise the installation were removed from the sea floor- this included over 50 m of antique anchor chain. These clearance operations were supported by divers and wherever the divers went they were accompanied by curious penguins that live in tens of thousands on the island. Together with rare migrating birds, sea elephants, orcas and endangered large whales, they are a part of Crozet's rich protected fauna. All activities of the team followed strict environmental standards and operations were overseen by the nature reserve.
Once completely established, hydroacoustic station HA04 can help monitor, and thus protect, the local fauna. For example, hydroacoustic data can be used to track the migration of whales. Find here an example of a whale song recorded by a CTBTO hydroacoustic station.
The monitoring system that is put in place by CTBTO isn't just applicable to the detection of nuclear testing. We have a lot of whales in the sub Antarctic region and the hydrophones will provide valuable materials that enable us to perform long term studies. The hydrophones also pick up seismic movements and, for tsunami alerts, the CTBTO network supplies a lot of information as well.
Raphael Sheffield, Crozet Island District Chief
A follow-on mission in December 2016 will make use of the calmer Austral summer conditions and a specially designed cable laying ship to deploy and commission the underwater components of HA04. From early 2017 onwards the CTBTO's IMS network will benefit from the unique data that HA04 will provide. The Unites States and France are contributing to the project by way of voluntary contribution.

Though each one is small in volume, oil spills from small vessels add up. In Washington State, when you multiply this volume by the thousands of fishing and recreational boats on the water, they compose the largest source of oil pollution in Puget Sound. How do small oil spills happen? The two most common causes are spillage during refueling and bilge discharge, when oil accumulates along with water in the bottommost compartment of a boat and then gets pumped out..
I sat down with Aaron Barnett, Washington Sea Grant's Boating Specialist and the coordinator of Washington's Small Oil Spills Prevention Program, to find out what boaters can do to prevent small spills. He offered this handy checklist of measures for keeping your vessel in ship-shape and stopping spills before they become a problem.
Outfit your engine with an oil tray or drip pan. You don't need anything fancy or expensive; a cookie sheet or paint tray will do the trick.
Create your own bilge sock out of oil absorbent pads to prevent oily water discharge. Here's a helpful how-to guidefrom Cap'n Mike (Coast Guard Auxiliary Instructor Mike Brough).

Iowa Voters In Correctionville Think The U.S. Needs Correcting
By David Greene
Published January 29, 2016 at 2:10 AM PST
DAVID GREENE, BYLINE: And I'm David Greene in Iowa, where the caucuses are just three days away - the first actual voting in the 2016 presidential election. We've been traveling around the state, and the other night we were in the rural western part of Iowa, where Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have been getting a lot of support. To get an idea of what exactly people are hungry for, we met up with a group of voters at a pizza parlor in the small town of Correctionville. No, it is not a town with a prison. But here's the thing - maybe it's appropriate because many in this farm town think the country needs some correcting. All you have to do is look at the ski cap Addison Law is wearing. She's the 9-year-old girl guarding her slice of pizza at the head of the table.
Oh, Addison, you have your Trump hat on.
ADDISON: Yeah.
GREENE: Your mom said that some people bother you sometimes when you wear it.
GREENE: What do they say?
ADDISON: They don't like Trump. And I say to keep it to their selves.
GREENE: You stick up for yourself. I like that.
Her mom, Rachel Raak Law, went with a Trump button. She's a single mom who's been volunteering for the campaign. And she tells Addison and her younger brother and sister that a President Trump would keep them safe.
RACHEL RAAK LAW: I mean, that's what I talk with these guys about.
GREENE: With your kids?
LAW: Yes - our security. They are not going to know what it's like to grow up without the threat of terrorism. They don't know what that's like. I do. The rest of us do. We've lost that. They will live constantly by the fear of terrorism.
GREENE: Now, there's a third generation of Raak women at this table - Rachel's mom, Arlene. She's been thinking about other Republican candidates, like Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson. Her daughter, though, has been a one-woman turnout operation for Trump, targeting everybody, including mom.
LAW: And I talk to her, sometimes an hour at a time
ARLENE RAAK: Well, daughters don't tell mothers what to do.
GREENE: So you're undecided still. Who are you thinking about?
A. RAAK: I am not. I am open-minded.
GREENE: You don't even have, like, a current list of favorites.
A. RAAK: Nope, I really don't.
LAW: Yes, you do. You're between two.
A. RAAK: I like Huckabee, but I know he probably can't beat Hillary. I probably like Rubio. Carson - I think he's good, I just wish he had a little more zip in him.
GREENE: And Rachel's dad, David, is struggling over the choices, too.
DAVID RAAK: The unfortunate part about it, the people that I would like to caucus for - and here again comes the politics - I know don't have a chance in hell of being elected because of their position - the way, the positions they've taken, I should say. A Huckabee, a Santorum, a Ben Carson - men of character and conviction.
GREENE: As for Trump, this couple wouldn't be opposed to caucusing for him. Arlene Raak likes his brash attitude. She grew up in New Jersey.
A. RAAK: People find him offensive for what he says, but I think he's East Coast. He is what he is. He's - yeah, that's the way people talk out there.
GREENE: But here's the thing. Arlene and David Raak seem more passionate about issues than any single candidate. They agree with her daughter about wanting to make the country feel safe. David Raak says he's been frustrated when President Obama has responded to mass shootings by calling for tighter gun restrictions.
D. RAAK: I own several guns - that's fine. But it's - when have gun sales really taken off? When the fear, when the rumor went around that Barack Obama wanted to take our guns away - that's when gun sales took off like crazy. Do you think they all bought guns because they needed to protect themselves? Not all of them. Some of them, yes. But you know why? Because they don't want to be told you can't do this. It's control. And they control your guns, they want to control your life from cradle to grave. We don't want the government in our face. Get out and leave us alone.
GREENE: Which is exactly how Shelly Cass feels as well. She's a family friend of the Raaks. She's sitting to my right with her husband, Don. He's a local Republican Party chairman, and he won't reveal who he's caucusing for. Mrs. Cass, though, is happy to say that she can't decide between Trump and Ted Cruz.
GREENE: And what's the most important issue for you?
SHELLY CASS: The security of our country. It's - we have no security anymore. It's just like with the gun rights, you know? They're trying - the Democrats are trying to take them away, and we need to have our guns. I don't feel safe anymore unless I have my gun. My husband has his gun, and my daughters and their husbands.
DON CASS: Everybody in our family is armed.
LAW: Never go up to their house and say, surprise.
A. RAAK: That's why I call before I'm coming.
D. CASS: We had four people showed up in our yard at 11 o'clock at night. We're in bed, and these guys come strolling up the sidewalk. These are four armed men that are in our yard.
GREENE: Who were they?
D. CASS: There were coon hunters.
S. CASS: They wanted to hunt raccoons.
D. CASS: We have no idea who these guys are. They want to hunt raccoons in our room. They chose 11 o'clock at night when we were in bed to show up. I don't know who these guys are. What they had been there for some other reason? We don't know that.
GREENE: So what did you do?
D. CASS: I answered the door with a .45 in my hand.
S. CASS: I heard him pull the trigger back, and I grabbed my gun.
D. CASS: He got as far as the end of the sidewalk, saw that I didn't - I wasn't receptive for visitors at that point in time, and he - I just want to ask if we can hunt raccoons. The answer is no, goodbye. And they left.
GREENE: Probably pretty quickly.
D. CASS: But I don't know that. They could have been meth addicts looking for some place to rob, too. How do I know? And the sheriff isn't going to arrive in time, now, is he? Because the guy's at the end of my sidewalk, and that happens to millions of - or maybe not millions, but hundreds of people every day in this country. They don't know what the situation is
GREENE: So Mrs. Cass, is it - is gun rights and security, is that what it's going to come down to between Trump and Cruz?
S. CASS: I'm just listening to what everybody in the country is saying. And I listen to Rush Limbaugh and what he's saying. And I just really want someone that's going to beat Hillary or whoever the Democrat candidate is. And it just seems like Trump is pulling in all the independents. People are signing over their Democrat ticket and wanting to sign up for the Trump ticket. And he's just not as polished as Cruz, you know? Cruz looks a little more presidential. And Cruz would do an amazing job. But Trump is just pulling in more people. And so I just maybe think in the end, that's probably the direction I'm going to go, even though I'd probably rather vote for Cruz.
GREENE: Why is defeating Hillary Clinton so important to you?
S. CASS: Oh, my gosh, can imagine what our country would be like if we had four years of her after Obama? Our country would be gone. You would not be able to turn it back. The debt and...
D. CASS: Corruption.
S. CASS: ...She would probably finish out everything Obama had started. We wouldn't have guns, we wouldn't have rights. I'd - we wouldn't be safe. It would just be unreal. She has no idea how to do anything. She doesn't even understand her emails.
GREENE: And we will be hearing many more voices Monday when we broadcast from right here in Iowa. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

UK fashion brands take action to tackle slavery
EU-Mercosur trade deal opens new opportunities
Successful launch of new outdoor era
Exciting educational line up at Texworld USA
Start-up summit at OutDoor by ISPO
ITMA 2019 sets new record with biggest number of exhibitors
3rd December 2018, London
Major UK fashion retailers are joining forces with law enforcement bodies to help eradicate modern slavery from the textiles industry. The announcement follows the latest meeting of the Modern Slavery Taskforce, created by Prime Minister Theresa May, which discussed how to better identify and tackle forced labour in business supply chains.
The UK's multi-billion fashion industry employs tens of thousands of people, which can make its companies vulnerable to unscrupulous providers and criminals who exploit workers for their labour.
The new agreement will commit its signatories, John Lewis, M&S, New Look, Next, River Island and Shop Direct, to work together with the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA), and others, to root out criminality and shine a light on hidden victims.
These efforts to uncover hidden slavery in businesses come as activity to respond to modern slavery offences has reached an all-time high, with police forces across the UK running more than 920 live investigations in September, involving over 2,000 victims.
"Modern slavery is an abhorrent crime that denies its victims of liberty, and it is disturbing to think that some of the products we buy could have been produced by someone exploited into forced labour," said the Prime Minister.
"As global leaders in the fight against modern slavery, I am clear that this will not be tolerated in the UK – and our consumers won't stand for it either. I welcome the action being taken by businesses which are leading the way in being open and transparent about the modern slavery risks they face, and have pledged to raise awareness to prevent slavery, protect vulnerable workers and help bring more criminals to justice."
"But with Modern Slavery police operations at an all-time high, clearly there is more to do to stamp out this vile crime and prevent criminal groups from operating in the shadows of supply chains to exploit people for commercial gain."
Transparency statements
Businesses with a turnover of more than £36 million are already legally required to publish annual transparency statements, known as a Modern Slavery Statements, setting out what they are doing to stop modern slavery and forced labour practices occurring in their business and supply chains.
In October, to coincide with Anti-Slavery Day, the Home Office wrote directly to the Chief Executives of 17,000 businesses to remind them of their responsibilities, or face being publicly named.

Q: How to show a confirm popup, while redirecting to new route in AngularJs? I want to show a confirmation popup(with Yes & No buttons) when there is a route change in my angularJs App.
I tried this way. This event is called each time before the route change, But this function is not restricting the user from going to a different route, even when the user has selected 'NO'
 $scope.$on('$locationChangeStart', function (event) {
      if (vm.counterObject.myList.length > 0) {
        var answer = confirm("Are you sure?")
        if (answer) {
          event.preventDefault();
        }
      }
    });

Any suggestion on where am I wrong?

A: Assuming you want to show a modal from a page-partial looks like this

  <button ng-click="toggleModal('OK')" class="btn btn-default">Success</button>
  <modal visible="showModal">
      Any additional data / buttons
  </modal>

Have a directive to show and hide the modal.
mymodal.directive('modal', function () {
    return {
      template: '
' +
          '
' +
            '
' +
              '
' +
                '<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>' +
                '
{{ buttonClicked }} clicked!!
' +
              '
' +
              '

' +
            '
' +
          '
' +
        '
',
      restrict: 'E',
      transclude: true,
      replace:true,
      scope:true,
      link: function postLink(scope, element, attrs) {
          scope.$watch(attrs.visible, function(value){
          if(value == true)
            $(element).modal('show');
          else
            $(element).modal('hide');
        });

        $(element).on('shown.bs.modal', function(){
          scope.$apply(function(){
            scope.$parent[attrs.visible] = true;
          });
        });

        $(element).on('hidden.bs.modal', function(){
          scope.$apply(function(){
            scope.$parent[attrs.visible] = false;
          });
        });
      }
    };
  });

And finally when you click a button, you want to redirect the user.
mymodal.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope) {
    $scope.showModal = false;
    $scope.buttonClicked = "";
    $scope.toggleModal = function(btnClicked){
        $scope.buttonClicked = btnClicked;
        $scope.showModal = !$scope.showModal;
        if(btnClicked == "OK") {
        $window.location.href = '/index.html';
        }

    };
  });

A: Finally got this working in my test angularjs app. This is an approach I adapted from Ben Nadel's site. I decided to just paste the whole controller here
Edit: What is different from the last approach is the OOO (order of operations) in this function. The issue was angular didn't get a chance to $digest the update in time when we are allowing the $location.path() to go through. It was still hitting the event listener. stopWatchingLocation() cancels that listener but due to the wiring of events, we have to allow angular to digest that.
So essentially, this made the difference in the proceedWithLocationChange function:
Running this first: stopWatchingLocation();
then
$timeout(() => {$location.path( targetPath ).search( targetSearch ).hash( targetHash )},10);
}

it worked great in my environment
'use strict';
angular.module('myApp.view1', ['ngRoute'])

.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
  $routeProvider.when('/view1', {
    templateUrl: 'view1/view1.html',
    controller: 'View1Ctrl'
  });
}])

.controller('View1Ctrl', ['$scope', '$location', '$timeout', function($scope, $location, $timeout) {

$scope.currentLocation = $location.url();
$scope.myList =  [1,2,3]
$scope.$on(
    "$locationChangeSuccess",
    function handleLocationChangeSuccessEvent( event ) {
        $scope.currentLocation = $location.url();
    }
);

var startWatchingTimer = $timeout( startWatchingForLocationChanges, 0, false );
var stopWatchingLocation = null;

function handleLocationChangeStartEvent( event ) {
    event.preventDefault();
    var targetPath = $location.path();
    var targetSearch = $location.search();
    var targetHash = $location.hash();

    if ($scope.myList.length > 0) {
        if (confirm('Leave the page?')) {
            proceedWithLocationChange(targetPath, targetSearch, targetHash)
        }
    } else {
        proceedWithLocationChange(targetPath, targetSearch, targetHash)
    }
}

function proceedWithLocationChange(targetPath, targetSearch, targetHash) {
    stopWatchingLocation();
    $timeout(() => {$location.path( targetPath ).search( targetSearch ).hash( targetHash )},10);
}

function startWatchingForLocationChanges() {
    console.log("watching");
    stopWatchingLocation = $scope.$on( "$locationChangeStart", handleLocationChangeStartEvent );
}

}]);

A: In AngularJs you can use a run function to listen to the $stateChangeStart event and take actions. As its name points its happens before the transition takes place and you can cancel or redirect to different place. This can be done at component level also.
angular.module('MyApp').run(canRedirect);
/** @ngInject */
function canRedirect($rootScope, $window, SomeService) {
    const stateChangeStart = $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', (event) => {
        // add your logic and take action
        if (SomeService.hasPermission()) {
            event.preventDefault();
            $window.location = '/path/to/redirect';
        }
    });
    $rootScope.$on('$destroy', canRedirect);
}

World Themes
World Themes for Indian Cinema (Part 5 of 8)
June 28, 2004 subbudu
Co-Blogging Series – Anand C and Lazy Geek
LAUGHTER, THE BEST MEDICNE (Nightly Dose)
If you think the conventional take on everyday events is mundane and monotonous, you'll enjoy these recent quips on George W, on a 45-second stretch in the Tonight Show (NBC, weeknights, 11:35 P.M):
Q: Why was the president surprised at "Meet the Press"?
A: He heard that he would also be asked questions! (since it was "meet the press!")
Q: Mr. President, were you ever AWOL in the army?
A: No, always used Earthlink.
Leno: For the rest of the world it's "D-Day". In the president's house, it's "report card day".
Q: What connects the death of Jesus with the war on Iraq?
A: Lack of credible intelligence in the Middle East.
The man behind the humor – Jay Leno – is probably the best known stand-up comedian today and host of "The Tonight Show". Jokes are oxygen to Leno. It is his peculiar talent to pick over jokes, news items, and tidbits of information – he gets about 200 to 300 submissions a day – select the funniest of the crop, and fashion them into an 11-minute monologue that will persuade millions to stay up later than they probably should for a humorous take on the events of the day… few perspectives on his life and work (Source: FORTUNE Magazine):
He began, awkwardly, using Johnny Carson's set (the person he replaced as host), which had been designed to keep Johnny some distance away from the audience. Only after NBC built Leno a new 350 – seat studio – where he works closer to the band and to the crowd, as if in a comedy club – did he get comfortable. The microphone on the host's desk is one of the few remnants of the old set, although it hasn't been turned on for years.
'How to win friends and influence people'
He is a quirky man – hot liquids never touch his lips, and he eats the same thing for lunch every day for a year. He acts as his own agent. In an industry where stars often demand to be indulged, he is an affable team player. Above all, he is a relentless salesman. "Show business is not hard," he says. "It's all just basic Dale Carnegie stuff."
One reason he does not use an agent anymore is that he doesn't want anyone to speak for him and possibly offend a client or fan. "That's really what this business is about," he says. "Contact with the customers. Because it's really feast or famine. You meet a guy on the elevator and you say hello. Well, for the rest of your career, you are the greatest guy in the world. But if you go, 'Excuse me, I'm busy,' you are just an asshole. Lyndon Johnson used to say that every handshake is worth 250 votes, and it's really true, especially in television."
Performing before live audiences tells him whether he's still connecting with the public. "You go out on the road, and they laugh or they boo," he says. "If I go to Vegas, and there are 1,800 seats and all of them are sold, then I'm doing something right on The Tonight Show. That's my barometer."
He has not slowed down. "This sounds silly," he says, "but my attitude is, sooner or later, the other guy is going to have to eat, drink, go to the bathroom, get laid, or take a vacation, and that's when I catch him. That's always worked for me." Once, when he was home working on the next day's monologue, he flipped on the TV and saw a rival talk show host at a Lakers game. "Gotcha," he thought. "I'm working. You're playing. What are you doing? This is a school night." He won't go to bed until half the monologue is written. "I don't go anywhere," he says. "This is what I do."
It takes courage to be funny, and to stick by it. To do more, not less of stand up comedy. Monologue of 11 minutes. Probably an interesting way to remind that no matter what happens, life goes on… and there's always another joke to be told!

I soooo miss that show. How are you getting it?
In chennai?
Anand is in US so he gets it through NBC, every night.
During weekends, we can watch it in CNBC, ofcourse, if you are subscribed to Settop box system.
Concon O'Brian that comes right after Jay Leno on NBC is funnier.
Its Conan and notConcon.
Jay sucks. He is quite repetitive, and we usually can predict his jokes after watching 10 shows.
I love Letterman. And his show is a million times more funny.
Yeah Nilu, I accept that he is repetitive and predictable. So are the international issues and happenings. He has to be.
Anand C says:
Personally, i think conan is a goofball. I also second Guru's opinion that folks like Leno are merely reinforcing what people already know and see. I also think if you do 5 live shows a week, 52 weeks a year, and tape a show everyday (letterman tapes his fri show on thurs!), you set yourself up for comments like this.
all this is beside the point. this is a theme on comedy and the courage to be funny, not a personal judgement on Leno (though it has to be evident at this point what i feel about him). letterman & conan represent the theme as much as jay does!
I agree, Conan is much funnier. Leno is a workhorse, but so what? His monologues are way too long and the jokes are lame. Quantity over quality, I guess. I can't stand his Jaywalking segment either. Letterman has not been all that good recently, but he's better than Leno.
Conan is my favorite. Anyone see the 1800s baseball sketch?
I feel that Jay Leno is not good doing something extempore. He works well with scripts. I remember one episode with Jim Carrey, where Carrey was trying to do something on the spot and Leno was not responding right and the joke fell flat. I doubt that will happen with Conan. After all Conan was in the original team that created Simpsons*. But given a script Jay is the best.
* – That reminds me, why are there no good sitcoms in tamil? I confess I am out of touch with Tamil TVs, but there werent any (except for ramani vs Ramani which was average at the best) when I was around in Chennai. Do you think there is any chance of a sitcom like Seinfeld in tamil? Even hindi had a good one (atleast the first 20 episodes are so) in Dekh Bhai Dekh.
Conan usually makes a joke about it if a monologue joke or a sketch falls flat. "That's the kind of silence you get only in deep space" 🙂 Also, the Chuck Norris lever was absolutely hilarious.
He didn't help create The Simpsons, but was a producer and writer during seasons 4 and 5.
Any comments about Jon Stewart (Daily Show on Comedy central)? His show is quite funny and has a lot of political insight.
Ashok R says:
Jay Leno is good but not great. If you get old reruns of his predecessor – Johnny Carson, you will know what talk/comedy show greatness is. Jay Leno has about 6 writers writing him most of the jokes. It is impossible to come up with so much new material (however good or average) by just going over the news and viewer submissions. You are a genius if you can come up with 5 such one-liners everyday.
Btw I really like his new sidekick John Melendez. (Do you know Kevin Eubanks came to IIT-Kanpur with a Jazz-Rock band a long time back.. He is a real musician with a degree from the Berkelee school of music in Boston.)
LayzGeek, latest New Yorker has an article on outsourcing in Chennai zeroing onto a demon (a compliment, actually) company called "Office Tiger". its not on the Net else I would have forwarded it. It is very interesting. Read it if you can access it, and let us know your views.
Hi Ashok – good pointer. I also heard from a comedian friend of mine that Johnny Carson was so good that NBC had a hard time convinving themselves Jay would fill in those shoes. Will try and get a hold of the re-runs.
I have a pending post on the Fruitcake Lady too 🙂

A word about Epic Mickey and Kingdom Hearts!
Looking at the concept art (see a little more at Blast Magazine, it seems pretty obvious that Epic Mickey is going to show us a side of the mouse we've never seen before. With a dark deconstructionist feel permeating both the imagery and the words that we've seen and heard about the upcoming game, it should be very interesting to watch how it all plays out. Previously said to be Wii exclusive (it might still be), it promises to be an experience unlike any other. And if you're a fan of Nintendo's latest console, you might find, as I have, that they still haven't used the Wiimote to its full potential. According to reports, Epic Mickey will try to change all that.
Of course, this wasn't Mickey's first foray into the video game world. Far from it! In fact, I still remember loving Mickey and Minnie's Circus Adventure when it first came out years ago.

3 Years Jotna: Spokesperson insists leaders should be held accountable
africa » gambia » Show Map
Haji Sawaneh, the spokesperson of Operation 3 Years Jotna said as patriotic citizens of the country, "we must hold our leaders accountable to the promises they made."
"The movement is completely independent. We're not supporting any political party or political leader's ideas. We are operating based on our ideas taking into account that we want to hold our political leaders accountable to the pledges they made to Gambians."
Mr. Sawaneh was speaking on Tuesday during an interview with Peter Gomez of West Coast Radio. The movement, he added, was formed with the objective of holding leaders accountable to the pledges and other campaign promises they made to Gambians in 2016.
"The group was formed when President Barrow and some of his coalition members decided to violate the 3 Years Coalition Agreement which in fact put him into office," he said, while claiming that it was first initiated by Kingsport who is currently living in USA.
According to him, all the political parties in the country have members in Operation 3 Years Jotna movement. "We have a recognised leadership that the entire country knows about, which is Abdou Njie who is the national chairman and we also have structures at the regional level."
Mr. Sawaneh also debunks reports making rounds on social media that they are planning eight weeks civil disobedience, saying it's 'completely false'. "It is fake news. We are not even thinking of an action plan. We are just sensitising people and informing them as to why they should demonstrate. The only thing we are held bent is that when demonstrating no one should go violent."
The information circulating on social media, Sawaneh added, is not true and that it doesn't come from the movement. "If we have any information that we want to share, we call for press conference or issue a press release and inform the public of our plan. Our intention is to hold our political leaders accountable. We want to first engage them by official communication."
The movement spokesperson revealed that they have written to President Adama Barrow and all the political leaders that were part of the Coalition 2016 Agreement.
"We are exercising our constitutional rights which every patriotic citizen can do. People that believe that this country belongs to them will never put this country into chaos. We believe that bringing people together under a movement like this will never put this country into chaos."
He said: "We choose 16th December to do the protest because we believe by that time the president would have already finished his nationwide tour so that we can submit our letter to him. The starting point of the demonstration will be at Westfield and then we move to Banjul at State House."
President Barrow, he said, should respect his promises and step-down because he can't move this country and he has no policies and programmes for the country.

On Thursday, House Republican leaders delayed a vote on their revised Patient Protection and Affordable Care (ACA) repeal bill to take place next week at the earliest. White House officials, after striking a deal with conservatives, had publicly raised expectations that the vote would occur this week. The White House then privately pushed House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to vote on the measure at hand. President Trump had hoped for a major legislative victory before Saturday, his 100th day in office. However, House Republicans are still struggling to secure the votes within their caucus.
In other news, both the House and Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill on Friday to fund the government for one week, to avert a government shutdown at midnight (4/29). Congress is expected to pass a broader spending package next week to fund the government through September 2017.
A negotiated amendment brought health reform back into the spotlight this week. The changes were negotiated by Freedom Caucus chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) and Tom MacArthur (R-NJ), co-chair of the moderate Tuesday Group. Under the agreed proposal, states would be permitted to waive some of the ACA's minimum coverage requirements and consumer protections, so long as they certified that they could offer an alternative that reduces premiums, enhances competition, or increases the number of people with coverage. When the House tried to pass the American Health Care Act (AHCA) last month, it was the conservative Freedom Caucus that opposed the bill. This time, however, it appears the moderate Tuesday Group members are causing trouble for Speaker Ryan and the White House. Reports also surfaced that Rep. MacArthur negotiated the amendment without the full blessing of the Tuesday Group caucus. House Republican leadership needs 216 votes. Since no Democrats are expected to support the measure, Speaker Ryan can only afford to lose 22 members.
The Amendment allows states to waive certain ACA requirements. States may apply for the following changes: read the full post here.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has opened the "sunshine payment" review period. The "Open Payments" program is required by the ACA. CMS posts information about the payments that drug and device companies make to physicians and teaching hospitals, for expenses such as travel, research, gifts, speaking fees, and meals. It also includes ownership interests that physicians or their immediate family members have in these companies. This data is then made available to the public each year on this website.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday on biologic whether a biosimilar manufacturer must await FDA approval before providing the brand company a legally mandated 180-day notice of intent to market a competing product, and whether biosimilar companies have to engage in a patent-sharing process with the branded biologic manufacturer. Supreme Court justices suggested that the best way to resolve disputes between brand and biosimilar companies over a law that allows the FDA to approve copycat biologics is to have the agency issue regulations before the disputes are interpreted by the high court.

By Dennis Thompson
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 20, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- You need to exercise both your brain and your body during middle age to guard against dementia as you grow older, a new, long-term study suggests.
Keeping mentally active through activities like reading, playing music, sewing or painting reduces your overall risk of both dementia and Alzheimer's disease, according to the report.
At the same time, staying physically active appears to protect you against types of dementia linked to unhealthy blood vessels, including vascular dementia and mixed dementia.
"We found that higher levels of mental and physical activity in midlife, independently, reduced the risk of dementia," said lead researcher Dr. Jenna Najar. She is a doctoral student with the University of Gothenburg's Center for Aging and Health in Molndal, Sweden.
Najar said that means that if you just focus on mental activities, you are losing out on the brain benefits from regular physical exercise -- and vice versa.
"When we studied the effect on different dementia subtypes, we found that higher levels of mental activity in midlife reduced the risk of Alzheimer's disease, regardless of how physically active the women were," Najar said. "Higher levels of physical activity reduced the risk of more vascular forms of dementia, regardless of how mentally active the women were."
Najar and her colleagues evaluated 800 Swedish women who entered the study at an average age of 47 and were followed for 44 years.
At the beginning of the study, all of the women were asked about their regular mental and physical activities.
Mental activities could include a wide array of intellectual, artistic and religious endeavors. Physical activity could range from light exercise like walking or gardening, up to more strenuous activities like running or swimming.
During the study, 194 women developed dementia, including 102 with Alzheimer's, 27 with vascular dementia and 41 with mixed dementia. Mixed dementia is a combination of two or more types of dementia.
Women with a high level of mental activity were 46 percent less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease and 34 percent less likely to develop any form of dementia, compared with women who worked out their brains the least, the investigators found.
Meanwhile, more physically active women were 52 percent less likely to develop vascular dementia and 56 percent less likely to develop mixed dementia, compared with inactive women, the findings showed.
These associations held even after the researchers took into account other factors that influence dementia risk, such as high blood pressure, smoking and diabetes.
Even though the study only involved women, "I have no reason to think the effect should be any different for men," Najar said.
The findings were published online Feb. 20 in Neurology.
For years, there's been growing evidence that there are lifestyle risk factors associated with dementia, said Keith Fargo, director of scientific programs and outreach for the Alzheimer's Association.
"It's really interesting they saw different effects in different dementia subtypes, which probably should not surprise us so much," Fargo said.
Fargo and Najar said the benefits of mentally stimulating activities could relate to a concept called "cognitive reserve." Essentially, by exercising your brain on a regular basis, you are building up its ability to resist age-related decline.
For example, Alzheimer's disease likely is caused by amyloid plaques and protein tangles that gum up nerve cell connections, or "synapses," Fargo said.
"Even if you have these plaques and tangles, if you've got a lot more and stronger synapses to begin with because you've maintained a healthy cognitive life, maybe it takes those plaques and tangles longer to do their damage enough that it shows up as dementia," he explained.
The benefits of physical exercise are more straightforward, Fargo noted. By improving blood vessel health, you make sure that the brain has a dependable supply of the oxygen and the energy it needs to function correctly.
"Physical activity and exercise has a lot of evidence now behind it," he added. "Cognitive stimulation is beginning to get more and more as well."
Evidence also is growing that the things you do in midlife strongly affect your brain health as you age, Fargo said, noting that the study started tracking women in their middle age.
"You get a lot of people, they don't want to start thinking about these things until they're in their 60s and 70s," Fargo said. "It's never too early to start. If you really want to give yourself the best chance possible, you want to start thinking of ways to protect your brain health in middle age. Don't wait until you get old. There are a lot of things you can do now that are going to give you a leg up."
The Alzheimer's Association has more about protecting your brain.

In Hawaiian, "ono" means "delicious," and "ma" is a prefix that means going toward, facing, or making. Ma'ono in West Seattle is the reincarnation of the marvelous Spring Hill. Chef Mark Fuller's mother is from Kauai, and he spent time there growing up; when demand for his formerly Mondays-only fried chicken became unstoppable, he decided to make Hawaiian-inspired food to go along with it. (Whiskey requires no explanation.) The manapua (like Hawaiian hum bao) and the saimin (Hawaiian ramen) are just great, as is the weekend brunch, especially an over-the-top version of loco moco with a huge juicy hamburger patty and Portuguese sausage.

Wind power in the upswing
Wind power, blades, polyurethanes, Pasquick, coating technology, glass fiber mats
Efficient manufacture of rotor blades with polyurethanes
Covestro delivers first commercial order of raw materials to China
Efficient Pasquick® coating technology provides protection
Power generation from renewable sources is a key part of the sustainability concept of Covestro and underlines its commitment to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular goal number 7 for renewable energy (UN-SDG 7). This applies above all to wind power, which is one of the most promising renewable energy sources due to its global availability and the technical progress already made.
This is also reflected in the development of wind power capacity, which is seeing double-digit annual growth across the globe. China is the world's largest wind power market with 221 GW of installed capacity at the end of 2018, according to the World Wind Energy Association.[1]
[1]https://wwindea.org/blog/2019/02/25/wind-power-capacity-worldwide-reaches-600-gw-539-gw-added-in-2018/
Concept for cost-efficient production of rotor blades
However, cost-efficient processes for manufacturing wind power plants are in greater demand than ever to enable further expansion and for competing with traditional energy resources. Once in operation, the aim is for turbines to be used over a lengthy period with the lowest possible maintenance requirements.
In order to meet this challenge, Covestro has joined forces with partners and developed a polyurethane (PU) resin and a manufacturing technology, which – in conjunction with glass fiber mats and an efficient production process – enables shorter cycle times. "This is a clear cost advantage for manufacturers," says Dirk Soontjens, who coordinates the global wind power activities of Covestro. "Its advantage over epoxy resins used so far is that it flows more easily and ensures better wetting of the glass fiber mats used for reinforcement." The resin also exhibits very good mechanical properties and meets many regulatory and industry performance standards.
Progress in China and Europe
Only recently, Covestro has processed the first commercial order for utilization of the PU resin for production of eighteen wind rotor blades with a length of 59.5 meters each, together with the respective spar caps and shear webs, all manufactured by Zhuzhou Times New Material Technology (TMT), one of the largest wind blade manufacturers in China. The blades were delivered to Envision, a leading global wind turbine technology company, and are scheduled to be installed in a wind farm in Eastern China in July 2019.
Also in Europe, Covestro collaborates with leading players of the wind power industry and intends to commercialize its technology shortly. Besides that, Covestro operates a new wind power laboratory in Leverkusen, which expands its global lab capacities in Asia and Europe to support customers and innovation.
High performance coatings with higher productivity
Covestro has also developed coating solutions with higher cost efficiency. For instance, protective coatings based on Pasquick® technology for steel towers as well as gel coatings for blades of wind power plants significantly increase productivity and ensure a long lasting performance with significantly reduced maintenance. This is due to the fact that the use of Pasquick® requires one layers less than conventional corrosion protection and that the coatings have a lower curing time.
Besides that, waterborne topcoats based on Bayhydur® and Bayhydrol® provide long-lasting performance with low solvent emissions. Last but not least, Covestro also offers leading edge protection for rotor blades based on products of the Desmodur® line, providing long lasting protection against abrasion.

By far, the best way to get the sounds you want is to record them yourself. When GIANTS Software made Farming Simulator 2015, it had people go out to manufacturers of farming equipment and record the exact sounds of the various machinery included in the game. In the process they even burned up one of their microphones with the exhaust heat from one of the tractors.
Fortunately you don't need to run out and buy a collection of microphones and cabling. As an independent modder, you can make do with what you have. Even a mic on your mobile phone is a starting point. As you get more serious about modding, you can look into possibly renting audio equipment or purchasing a portable field recorder.
Prices on these devices are reasonable, with entry-level ones starting at less than $100. If you want to purchase one, search online for "field recorder" to see your options.
What actually may be more difficult is getting access to the machinery that you want to record. Not everyone lives near a farm or knows a person who works for a farm equipment manufacturer. That said, people are generally friendly and reasonable if you approach them in a polite, professional manner and clearly explain what you want to do.
Isolate the sound you want from all other sounds. Despite how they make it look in TV shows, separating sounds in a single audio track without degrading the overall quality of the recording isn't easy. You'll want to try do your recording away from all other sounds. If you have a directional mic, like a shotgun mic, be sure to aim it directly at the source of your sound.
Use headphones while recording. Most recording gear has a jack for connecting headphones. Use it. And use the best quality headphones you can get your hands on, preferably ones that fully cover your ears and isolate them from outside noise. Having a great microphone does you no good if you have no idea what sounds it's actually recording.
Record more than you need. Record the sound multiple times and record it for a longer duration than you need. You can always edit a sound to be shorter; getting multiple takes of a sound ensures you're not stuck with a version of the sound that has a train running in the background, for example.
Record room tone. Room tone is a term for the sound of silence at the location where you've also recorded the sounds you actually want. That is, you should turn off all machinery at the site and record 30 to 60 seconds. Room tone is valuable when editing sound.
Aside from being in a vacuum, no place is soundless, and microphones often pick up on things that you may not notice until you're trying to splice two sounds together, and you then notice an awkward jump in background noise.

The Thames River has nearly 400 km of waterways navigable by canoe or kayak and the Fanshawe Dam to North London Athletic fields leg of the north branch of this river is a great route for novice to intermediate paddlers. Before you grab your gear, be sure to read up on the full description of all that you'll experience on the Thames by clicking here.
Enter Fanshawe Conservation Area (payment required for entry), cross the Dam, turn left at the gravel road which leads to the parking lot on the north side of the river, just below the dam.
This flood control dam is operated by the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority. Typically, they open and close the gates slowly to prevent flash flooding in London. However, prior to, or during times of heavy rainfall, the dam may be opened quickly, which may cause river flow rates to increase or decrease rapidly with little to no warning.
Spend a morning or afternoon on this urban route through North East London. This route can take as short as 1 hour to complete, but can be stretched out to 2.5-3 hours if sightseeing, photography or fishing is planned for your paddling adventure. Steep cliffs and many rapids (class 1 and 2) are found between Fanshawe Dam and Highbury Avenue, which produces the highest concentrations of rapids and swifts of any section of the Thames River. During higher flow rates, rapids and swifts become fast and more aggressive, so it is recommended that paddlers get to shore and scout rapids prior to running and paddlers must have a sharp eye for rocks, trees and logs. Paddlers that wish to bypass rapids, a foot path on the left side (AKA south side) of the river can be used to portage around rapids.
Between Highbury Avenue and Adelaide Street pools of calmer water, separated by small swifts, flow between two urban woodland parks of Kilally Meadows Environmental Significant Area on the right and Kilally Valley Park on the left. These large urban woodland parks give this urban paddling route a very secluded feel.
Park your vehicle at the City of London operated, free use parking lot that services the left side (AKA south side) of the river, just off Adelaide Street North. Getting out of your canoe or kayak is relatively easy, as the river banks are low, with only thin vegetation to walk through. Seasonal restrooms, outdoor showers and drinking water fountains can be found at the main service building in the middle of the park.
Head out and start paddling. Be sure to check the Kilworth to Dorchester and Ingersoll to Putnam routes along the Thames too.

'Build back better' to mitigate climate risks
Countries hit by extreme weather events must 'build back better' to ensure their recovery and reconstruction efforts are resilient to future shocks, PF International has been told.
Following the storms that swept across the US and Asia, Emily Wilkinson, senior research fellow at the Overseas Development Institute, said countries affected by such events should invest in better mitigation infrastructure.
"Critically, there are opportunities in post-disaster recovery to build things back differently."
The phrase 'building back better' is used by development agencies across the world. Wilkinson said it reflects the opportunity to ensure reconstruction is fit for long-term recovery.
"A lot more needs to be done to mitigate and reduce the risks before disasters happen," she told PF International.
Wilkinson said ODI research [see below] has found that the majority of development assistance for natural disasters goes to emergency response (65.5%), while only 12.8% goes to disaster risk reduction, such as flood prevention.
page7.jpg
The Overseas Development Institute, Finance for reducing disaster risk: 10 things to know
According to the World Bank, the benefits of 'building back better' could save countries globally up to $173bn a year.
Some countries have budget reserves for disasters.
Mexico's FONDEN fund maintains a reserve of $1bn, the equivalent of 0.13% of gross national income.
Japan also holds reserves of 350bn Japanese yen ($3.12bn) – 0.36% of the budget.
But these reserves typically do not cover unexpected events and are based on the annual average needed for disaster recovery.
Mexico, for example, has additional insurance that covers $400m, but if a disaster inflicts more damage it has no finance for recovery.
Last year's record tropical storms left many already indebted small states looking for finance to recover and relying heavily on aid.
Wilkinson noted these countries "tend to get into more debt" trying to recover.
Recent extreme weather shows why it is vital to reduce risks before disaster strikes
Tsunami Palu: The Indonesian island region of Sulawesi was shook by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and tsunami on Friday, which has left at least 1,200 dead.
Typhoon Jebi: Japan was hit by the most powerful typhoon in 25 years at the beginning of September. More than a million people were forced to evacuate, and major airports were flooded by heavy rains and high sea levels. At least 11 people died.
Hurricane Florence: Extreme winds passed through North and South Carolina in September, leaving more than 343,000 people without power and killing at least 37 people. The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that it would provide disaster aid to people in 18 affected counties.
Typhoon Mangkhut: One of the most powerful storms to hit Asia in decades made its way from the Philippines to Hong Kong and to China in September. Public services were closed, flights cancelled, and buildings torn apart. It is estimated that at least 80 people were killed.
Record costs for US: Atlantic hurricane season 2017 was the most expensive hurricane season across the US Atlantic region, racking up $202.6bn in damages. The season delivered 17 storms, including Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Worldwide, storms caused $369.6bn of damage, making 2017 the second-most costly year since 1960.

Painting and drawing are very important facets in the learning process of every kid. It reveals the childlike thoughts they acquire as young learners. It also generates an avenue for the kids to explicitly articulate their world views.
This past Sunday, the Litworld Boys LitClub had the chance to revisit these foundational elements towards the establishment of a stronger 'literacy block'. The Boys made paintings that illustrated their ambitions, dreams and hopes. Some of the paintings also communicated their novel experiences as dwellers of the Kibera Slums and the challenges they face daily. Some indicated their obsessions, emotions and the realities that put them in touch with their surrounding. The drawings were like expressive gestures that to them drives home a permanent message for those who care to look and listen.
The occasion also served as a proper chance for some of them to sharpen their skills on their dream careers and a platform to demonstrate their talents. 'Painting washes away the soul the dirt of everyday's life' - Pablo Picasso.


Simon's a Knockholt boy born and bred. But exactly what that entails is hard to disentangle – the three main attractions of the town being an RAF field, a big clock & a KFC. Although he does have very fond memories of drinking some beers on the RAF field, staring at the clock for a few hours and then getting chicken on the way home.
However, the decided lack of activity available in his hometown turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it forced Simon feed his creative flair and make his own fun. Originally this manifested itself in a love for football, until, in Simon's own words, he became so great that his body couldn't hack it any more and his knee spontaneously combusted.
Since then he has chased even more extreme hobbies, culminating in a trip to Africa where he blagged a free skydiving experience on the proviso that he would have to land directly in the middle of a sandboarding competition that he was entered into that afternoon.
Simon will bring this Bond-esque adventure to all of your PPC campaigns, as well as the focus of a UCL History graduate and the pure force of will of a man who managed to survive a trip to Kavos with 36 of his best friends (we get it Simon, you're popular – jeez).
