Q: JPQL - JOIN query with filter I have the entitys:
First
@Entity
@Getter
@Setter
@NoArgsConstructor
public class Technic implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    private String name;

    private String gosNumber;

    private String invNumber;

    private String shassisNumber;

    private String engineNumber;

    @Column(length = 100)
    private String yearOfMake;

    @ManyToOne
    private Farm farm;

    @JsonManagedReference
    @ManyToOne
    private TechGroup techGroup;

    @JsonManagedReference
    @ManyToOne
    private TechType techType;

    @JsonManagedReference
    @ManyToOne
    private TechMark techMark;

    @JsonIgnore
    @CreationTimestamp
    @Column(name = "creation_date", updatable = false)
    private LocalDateTime createdDate;

    @JsonIgnore
    @Column(name = "updated_date")
    @UpdateTimestamp
    private LocalDateTime updatedDate;

    @JsonIgnore
    @Column(columnDefinition = "Bool default false")
    private Boolean isDel;

    @JsonManagedReference
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "technic")
    private List<TechnicStatus> technicStatusList = new ArrayList<>();

    public List<TechnicStatus> getTechnicStatusList() {
        return technicStatusList;
    }

    public void setTechnicStatus(TechnicStatus technicStatus) {
        this.technicStatusList = new ArrayList<>();
        this.technicStatusList.add(technicStatus);
    }

Second:
@Entity
@Getter
@Setter
@NoArgsConstructor
public class TechnicStatus implements Serializable  {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "technic_status_id")
    private Long id;

    @JsonBackReference
    @ManyToOne
    private Technic technic;

    @JsonManagedReference
    @ManyToOne
    private Status status;

    private Boolean isGarantia;

    private Boolean isLizing;

    private LocalDate visitedDate;

    private LocalDate notWorkDate;

    private String description;

    @JsonIgnore
    private boolean isActive;

    @JsonIgnore
    @CreationTimestamp
    @Column(name = "creation_date", updatable = false)
    private LocalDateTime createdDate;
}

I want to get result from my db which contains the List in each object Technic i have List technicStatusList = new ArrayList<>()   in which i want to have a TechnicStatus only with value is isActive=true.
For this i right same JPQL query:
TypedQuery<Technic> query = em.createQuery("Select t  from Technic t join TechnicStatus ts on t.id = ts.technic.id where t.isDel=false and ts.isActive=true and t.farm.id=:farmId order by t.techGroup.name, t.techType.name, t.techMark.name", Technic.class);

But get a result containing TechnicStatus, which returns a TechnicStatus with true and false (TechnicStatus.isActive=true, TechnicStatus.isActive=false).
I want to get result as this native query:
SELECT
    *
FROM
    technic
        JOIN
    technic_status ON technic.id = technic_status.technic_id
WHERE
    technic.is_del = FALSE
        AND technic_status.is_active = TRUE
        AND technic.farm_id = 1722

A: The List of TechnicalStatus associated with a Technic will always be the complete list as defined by your mappings.
Essentially then you have 2 options. If you are only ever interested in TechnicalStatus with a status of Active then you can use the non-portable, Hibernate specific @Where clause on the association.
@JsonManagedReference
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "technic")
@Where("active = 1")
private List<TechnicStatus> technicStatusList = new ArrayList<>();

https://dzone.com/articles/hibernate-where-clause
Otherwise all you do is return a List of TechnicalStatus from query method which is not what you want but is all you have.

A: Its not possible to filter related collection in query conditions. You can get it by doing select on TechnicalStatus:  select ts from TechnicStatus ts join Technic t where ...
Other thing I noticed:
You are overwriting list of existing statuses when adding new one:
public void setTechnicStatus(TechnicStatus technicStatus) {
     this.technicStatusList = new ArrayList<>();
     this.technicStatusList.add(technicStatus);
}

Initialize technicStatusList in field declaration. Method in Technic for adding:
public void addTechnicStatus(TechnicStatus technicStatus) {
    getTechnicStatusList().add(technicStatus);
    technicStatus.setTechnic(this);
}

Other thing I noticed:
When using join don't use on t.id = ts.technic.id. JPA will create correct native SQL just when you write: join TechnicStatus ts WHERE ...

A: Using join fetch should solve the issue, this would force the query to run eagerly all at once and only bring back the records that match the where clause.
so your query would be:
TypedQuery<Technic> query = em.createQuery("Select t from Technic t join fetch TechnicStatus ts where t.isDel=false and ts.isActive=true and t.farm.id=:farmId order by t.techGroup.name, t.techType.name, t.techMark.name", Technic.class);

                CustomerList.DataBind();
            }
        }
    }

}

A: You're adding Data to your DataSet DS using ReadXml. But it seems that it is empty as DS.Tables[0] throws an index out of range exception.
You need to make sure that the data is filled correctly:
void LoadDatabase()
{
    DS.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("Customer.xml"), XmlReadMode.InferSchema);

    // check the number of tables here
    int count = ds.Tables.Count;
    System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();

    DS.Tables[(int)DBNum.Customer].PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] {
                DS.Tables[0].Columns["ID"] };
    CustomerRecordList();
}

Former Mayor Rybak Named Among Most Fit In U.S.
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Despite having a heart attack earlier this year, former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak has been named by at least one publication as one of the most fit leaders in the country.
According to the Health Fitness Revolution, Rybak was named among the 10 most fit mayors in the United States. The list includes both current mayors and some that have recently left office. Just days after ending his term as the leader of Minneapolis, Rybak had a heart attack while cross country skiing in Theodore Wirth Park. He's since made a full recovery and even participated in the Loppet a month after.
The American College of Sports Medicine cited the Twin Cities as the fittest in America in 2013 for the third year in a row. Rybak was voted as the "Fittest Mayor in America" back in 2006 as he has an exercise routine that includes running, biking, swimming and weightlifting several times per week.
Health Fitness Revolution also cited that Minneapolis has more playgrounds, swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses, baseball diamonds and dog parks, per capita, than other cities in the U.S.
Others to make the top 10 list include Mike Bloomberg of New York City, Cory Booker of Newark, New Jersey; Karl Dean of Nashville, Tenn.; Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, Calif.; Mike Caldwell of Ogden Utah; Nancy Chaney of Moscow, Idaho; Adrien Fenty of Washington D.C.; Rahm Emanual of Chicago, Ill. and Ralph Becker Of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Rybak had a little fun with the honor Tuesday morning on social media, posting on Twitter that he was so excited he almost had another heart attack when he got word of the list.

A lot of the guys I understand believe that poker is some video game that unsavory men play in the back rooms of base bars. They wouldn't also think about playing the game, never mind thinking that they could like poker. Most of the males I recognize assume poker is simply a game played by men with nothing much better to do. Poker Information is a new site devoted to providing online poker players with the most effective poker information that they want to know around.
I have actually constantly loved playing poker, yet it's when I found out that I might play poker online whenever I wanted that was when I absolutely fell for it. Prior to I learned about playing poker online I had to wait till I got the possibility to play with a few of my good friend's other halves; which wasn't very commonly. Now that I have learned about poker online I can play a video game of poker online indonesia whenever I desire: poker as needed – it's like heaven!
Because then I have actually discovered a lot about online poker: concerning where I need to play, and the distinction between the online and offline version of the terrific game. I located regarding another poker testimonial website Poker Site. Poker Internet site has a number that has actually been mathematically computed to rank all of the top poker sites.
When I first listened to regarding playing poker online I had not been sure where to begin; where to play, and where to remain away from. Poker Online UK is a poker evaluation site that rates poker spaces and provides a summary of each site, and the reasons why the poker sites have been offered the score they have. After I discovered Poker Online UK I was arranged: I brand-new where to play and where to stay away from.
I have actually been playing the spectacular game online for almost a year currently. I've discovered a great deal about online poker, and where to learn the very best information concerning the video game. The last time I got on the Poker Websites website I learned about the new website Poker News that's associated with Poker Internet site.

Surely by now, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion which member of the MCU is the least trustworthy with secretive information. I mean, there's been enough spillage from this one superhero in particular that we recently compiled a list of every big Marvel secret he's let loose by merely flapping his jaw too much during a press junket, and it sure as hell wasn't his best interview buddy Benedict Cumberbatch.
Of course, we're talking about Tom Holland. Honestly, this kid has let more secretive subject matter slip than Julian Assange, and somehow, Marvel has yet to learn their lesson and still allow him to attend interviews. Take last month, for example, when the portrayer of Peter Parker shared a video apologizing to the fandom for not having anything substantial to provide regarding the film colloquially referred to as Spider-Man: Homecoming 2.
Long story short, while brandishing the script for his yet to be named sequel, the British actor had an oopsy-daisy moment and revealed that the twenty-third entry into the MCU would be titled Spider-Man: Far From Home. Granted, this was all just a marketing ploy engineered by head honcho Kevin Feige, but still, that's how common Holland slip-ups have become. Just frequent enough that Marvel's now using them as a marketing device. Let that sink in.
Anyways, FilmArtsy has now compiled every bit of footage featuring Benedict Cumberbatch doing his best to prevent Tom Holland from spoiling anything that can even remotely be considered a spoiler apropos of Avengers: Infinity War. In this ten minute video, the Sherlock star can be seen visibly sweating at each and every query directed his co-star's way and, on more than one occasion – practically, all of them, in fact – the Academy Award nominee does his best to restrain Holland from opening his mouth.
As for your next opportunity to see Tom struggle through an interview and possibly seep some highly secretive information, look forward to the aforementioned Spider-Man: Far From Home. I know, Avengers 4 will be released before the Homecoming sequel, but odds are Feige and co. will be placing Cumberbatch alongside Holland once again in an attempt to avert further damage.
At least for Far From Home, Holland will likely be alone during press events, thereby increasing the chance he blabs. Or, who knows, maybe he'll have learned to keep his mouth shut by then? Time will tell.

Q: OutOfMemoryError using BitmapDrawables I download and keep a list of photos in my application:
List<BitmapDrawable> photos = new ArrayList<BitmapDrawable>();
photos.add(Utils.bitmapToBitmapDrawable(downloadBitmap(s));

public static Bitmap downloadBitmap(String url) {
    // GET input stream from server
    return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
}

Trying to deallocate:
if (dldedPics.get(0).getPhotos() != null && !dldedPics.get(0).getPhotos().isEmpty()) {
    for (BitmapDrawable b : dldedPics.get(0).getPhotos()) {
        b.getBitmap().recycle();
    }
}
dldedPics.get(0).setPhotos(null);
Runtime.getRuntime().gc();

I can't seem to properly have them deallocated, as I get a OutOfMemoryError (at the decodeStream line) rather quickly, after 10-20 100kb photos.

A: You can explore the below link for sample implementations with Bitmaps
https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader

A: You should only load the image size you need, not the entire image.
        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inSampleSize = scale;
        b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream, null, options);

From http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/BitmapFactory.Options.html#inSampleSize
If set to a value > 1, requests the decoder to subsample the original image, returning a smaller image to save memory. The sample size is the number of pixels in either dimension that correspond to a single pixel in the decoded bitmap. For example, inSampleSize == 4 returns an image that is 1/4 the width/height of the original, and 1/16 the number of pixels.


Since it allows the use of slower shutter speeds in bright light, it becomes possible to create these special effects that would normally not be possible to capture without the filter. And, since it can also help to control your depth of field, it permits you to shoot at wider apertures. Ultimately, its value is in helping to prevent bright, overly washed out images shot in bright light.


Don't let allergy season stop you from enjoying the great outdoors. Use the following tips to make the most of the good weather.
Websites like pollen.com or your local TV news, radio, and newspaper weather reports often include allergy forecasts. Use the forecasts to know when the risks are high and plan accordingly.
Keep your home free of allergens by removing your shoes and dusting off before coming in. Taking a quick shower after being outside for a long period of time can also reduce the number of allergens you track into your home.
Many allergy medications can be used before the symptoms kick in. By planning ahead of time, you may be able to avoid your allergies altogether.
There are many allergy relief options available. Talk with your Sterling pharmacy team about your symptoms to find the option that fits your needs.


You saw your first snow today. You stared with wide blue eyes.
You quietly studied the new white world with wonder. And when you got too cold, you came inside to warm up by the fire. You giggled as you drank your hot chocolate.
You're so wild and so full of adventure. But so tiny still. And I love that when you've played all that you can play, you cry a little as you crawl into my arms and melt into my shoulder.
In a few months you'll be a big sister. And I'm so in love with the idea of you in this new role. But a little sad too. I've always thought of you as the baby. I cried as I rocked you at two weeks old, and my arms ached when I thought of how you'd never be that small again. I've watched you grow and fallen even more in love with you as I've watched your little personality bloom.
I love your bright, fiery smile that lights up the room. And your tender heart, that melts mine — even when I'm worn out and impatient. You play hard, and you love hard too. You're napping in your big girl bed right now, but Dad and I love that you still get up every night to join us while we sleep — even if you do sleep with your feet across Dad's face.
You're talkative and funny. Dad and I are constantly amazed at how much you understand and how smart you are. And I adore the sound of your high pitched little voice that reminds me so much of Graysen's.
I love that you steal toilet paper rolls to build towers in your room. And you leave little babies all around the house, tucked in sweetly to sleep with bath-towel-blankets. You squeal at the mention of a tea party, and you're our only child that cries and laughs when you're pleasantly surprised.
I know that I get to rest when you sleep, but truthfully, I can't wait for you to wake up.
Mommy will be here to hold you.

Saifiti a key ingredient in Brown's recipe for success
Peter Jolly NRL.com Reporter
Sat 14 Jul 2018, 02:01 PM
While most of the hype in Newcastle in recent weeks has been on Kalyn Ponga and the return of Mitchell Pearce, coach Nathan Brown believes quiet achiever Daniel Saifiti has become one of the Knights' most important forwards.
Saifiti returned from injury on Friday night in Newcastle's win over the Eels after being sidelined since round 13, racking up 14 runs for 114 metres and 29 tackles.
The bruising Fijian international came into the season after a shoulder reconstruction and Brown said his form was up and down.
But Saifiti knuckled down and suddenly a light switched on.
"I expect a bit more of Daniel; I am probably harder on him than I should be at times, but all for his own reasons," Brown said.
"Daniel is someone who I have got a lot of faith in to get to a very high level, and [against Parramatta] he showed why we have a lot of faith in him. He is definitely a kid who can help move this club in the right direction."

Nick Meany made his debut with Ponga out with a hamstring injury, producing a smart offload in the lead up to Shaun Kenny-Dowall's try in the first half.
But Brown believes the Bulldogs-bound fullback still has some things to learn about playing in the NRL.
"Certainly in reserve grade, there's some things that you can have a little play with, and you might get away with, and he'll see that and say 's**t, I can't get away with it at this (NRL) level', where in reserve grade it is standard," the Knights' coach said.
"But what we got from Nick was what we expected – he's a young kid who has progressed through (the junior ranks).
"He's played good in twenties (Jersey Flegg) for a whole year, he's played good in reserve grade (Intrust Super Premiership) for a whole year, and his progression is like you would like all kids to have."
Brown is confident Sione Mata'utia will be back next week against the Gold Coast Titans, after leaving the field with blurred vision for an HIA, after copping a hip to the head with nine minutes remaining in the match.
But Newcastle is not willing to rush back Ponga, admitting he may need an extra week to recover, even though he is a very slim chance he could be fit.
"If it was a grand final, you'd probably say yes," Brown said.
"But he's too important for the club's long term, and his own future to be risking him with a hamstring at this stage."

POSTPONED – The Killers
THE KILLERS' BIGGEST GLOBAL TOUR EVER!
WITH SPECIAL GUEST JOHNNY MARR ON U.S. AND CANADA DATES
PEPSI LIVE AT ROGERS ARENA – VANCOUVER, BC
Doors: 6:30PM Show: 7:30PM
TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, MARCH 20 @ 10AM
Tickets available at www.livenation.com
Tickets (incl. GST) $29.50, $39.50, $55.00, $79.50, $95.00, $119.50
(Plus Service Charges)
**GENERAL ADMISSION FLOOR / RESERVED SEATING / ALL AGES**
THE KILLERS are thrilled to share the details of their forthcoming, highly-anticipated sixth studio album, Imploding The Mirage, which is set for release on May 29, 2020 on Island Records. The album – produced by the band in conjunction with Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado of Foxygen – was recorded in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Park City, UT. It is the first Killers album to be written and recorded since leaving their hometown of Las Vegas, NV. Imploding The Mirage also features a brilliant array of collaborators, another first for the band who have typically kept guest spots on their albums to a minimum. The list of featured artists includes Lindsey Buckingham, kd lang, Weyes Blood, Adam Granduciel (War On Drugs), Blake Mills, and Lucius.
The album's first single, "Caution", is all of Imploding The Mirage's excellence densely packed into three and a half minutes. Both refreshingly next level and reminiscent of the band's much-loved albums Sam's Town and Battle Born, it finds The Killers evoking the spirit of ambitious reinvention matched with the kind of anthemic chorus to which they've become synonymous. The track also features an iconic guitar solo courtesy of the legendary Lindsey Buckingham.
The Killers are also thrilled to announce additional dates around the globe – playing some of the biggest venues in the world – to their already sold-out UK and European tour this summer. When announced this past fall, the band's ten UK stadium concerts sold out immediately, moving over 350,000 tickets within hours. The UK leg will include two sold out nights at the 55,000 capacity London Emirates Stadium as well as a 50,000 capacity show in Manchester at Emirates Old Trafford. These sold out stadium shows come on the back of the band's triumphant 2019 Saturday night headline slot at the 150,000 capacity Glastonbury festival, where the band treated the rapturous crowd with surprise performances from The Smiths' Johnny Marr and Pet Shop Boys. Special guest Johnny Marr joins the band again this summer as opener for the U.S and Canadian shows.
Since the release of their 2004 debut, Hot Fuss, The Killers have sold 28 million albums, headlined stadiums and festivals around the world and won dozens of accolades globally. The band continues their reign as America's heartland heroes as they head into Imploding The Mirage. Following their 2017 Billboard #1 album, Wonderful Wonderful – a love letter of sorts, as Brandon Flowers crafted songs of encouragement to his wife during crippling bouts of depression – Imploding The Mirage is the light after the dark; the overcoming of sadness and moving into celebration. It's a record about eternal love, perseverance through hard times, and the strength gained from friendships and familial bonds whilst weathering a storm.
Indeed, Imploding The Mirage leaves the grit and glitter of Vegas behind for something more expansive and triumphant. (Literally. Flowers moved his family from the parched flats of Vegas, NV to the lush mountains of Utah before beginning work on the record.) It's an album that also pushed the band out of their musical comfort zone, exploring new terrain and referencing the albums in their collection that filled them with a sense of romance and camaraderie in their youth. Influences include Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel, as well as Killers' touchstones like Bruce Springsteen and New Order. Throughout it all, Flowers remains a wholly singular songwriter. A prolific artist with a steadfast understanding in how much solace a song can provide; he's a pensive craftsman in the studio and an exuberant rock star on the stage. These 2020 shows will give fans a chance to experience The Killers as they deliver the most relentlessly enjoyable rock show of the year.
Run, don't walk:
All tickets for the U.S. and Canadian shows are on sale on Friday, March 20th at 10am local time.

I missed taking photos of my very first and simple Bento creation. Tsk, tsk! I regret of not having the chance or bothered grabbing a cam for a quick souvenir! It may not as creative and awesome as I've seen on Bento blogs, but I promise to try and create a very good one. I must admit, it is time consuming! As of now, I am planning to prepare a quick healthy meal, with NO pressure at all.
Ang cute. :-) Talagang nag-bento ka na din ha.
Uy ang dami na ah!Nakaka adik kaya! hehe! Pag may bago gusto mo meron ka din nun. lol!
Haha! ang dami nga, I don't know when I can manage to create such awesome Bento just like what you did!


Although distortion can often be troublesome in measurement applications, it is important to note that no information about the object is actually lost, but merely misplaced in the image. Using these targets, one can easily determine the precise amount of distortion present and back it out of measurements. The dot center can be located using blob (or centroid) analysis in measurement software. To accommodate the expanding variety of image analysis software and applications, we offer fixed frequency and variable frequency targets.
The fixed frequency targets are available in a variety of dot size/spacing combinations to complement our full line of imaging lenses. Select a target to cover your entire field of view while maintaining an adequate number of dots across the field, and an adequate number of pixels per dot. The 3 or 5 grids on the multi-frequency target scale down so that one target can be used for a variety of lenses and fields of view. Both types of targets are available in a chrome on glass or chrome on opal target to accommodate transmission or reflection based on applications respectively. Included in the packaging is a serialized NIST Traceable Certificate of Accuracy per MILSTD-45662A.

London Public Transport Prices To Rise Further
Posted on 9th December 2013 1st August 2016
Despite London mayor Boris Johnson recently announcing that travel fares will be frozen next year, a quick calculation shows that they will in fact rise by as much as 4.8%, even though salaries are still steadily declining in real terms.
According to the announcement, public transport fares were to be changed on the basis of the retail price inflation rate for July, which was 3.1%. However, in real terms, a journey with a contactless card will cost £1.45 from January, up 3.6% from the current £1.40. Also, the fare for travelling on the tube and the overground in Zone 1 will rise by as much as 4.8% – from £2.10 to £2.20.
Weekly, monthly and yearly travelcards will also be more expensive, by between 3.9% and 4.3%. These are used by around half of people who use the public transportation system in the city. In fact, it looks like the fare freeze will only be applied to Zone 1 and Zone 2 underground prices outside of peak hours. The price hike will generate around £115 million over a year, according to calculations from Transport for London, with £39 million coming from higher bus fares and £68 million coming from the Tube, the Guardian reports.
At the same time, the cost of living in the capital is continuing to rise, even though the latest inflation figures were optimistic. What's more, London's housing market is booming which has led to an increasing number of people losing their homes. With an average disposable income of around £2,000 and an average rent for a one-bedroom apartment outside the city centre at £900 per month, it's hardly surprising that more and more people are finding it hard to keep their homes.

K-Swiss and Coolhaus CEO & Co-Founder Natasha Case have joined forces to create a collaborative take on the Classic VN.
Utilizing the updated silhouette of K-Swiss' first ever leather tennis shoe, this limited-edition version of the Classic VN celebrates Case's 10-year anniversary since starting her LA-based Ice Cream brand, Coolhaus, while inspiring future generations of female creatives and entrepreneurs.
With a storied launch of her Coolhaus brand, Case has faced every obstacle in her path and found creative solutions since day one.
For the Coolhaus Classic VN the upper is comprised of white leather with ice cream sprinkle accents at the heel and within the sole construction. A translucent rubber outsole provides traction while allowing the colorful sprinkle inlay to remain visible.
Custom accents at the tongue denote Coolhaus' 10-year anniversary while "200 miles" on the metallic heel hit nod to Case's storied launch of Coolhaus where her ice cream truck broke down and she chose to be towed from LA to Coachella to launch her company. Custom die-cut insoles provide ideal comfort for everyday wear.


I am a member of a club that meets monthly to learn and create with our KNK cutting machines. We call ourselves the Blade Runners and we have a lot of fun together crafting with these wonderful machines. This week we are taking a road trip to a scrapbooking trade show to see what is new and shop!! So, of course, we will need some large totes to carry all our treasures.
Using the club name, Blade Runners, I designed a quick logo to embellish the blank totes. I used DecoSPARKLE heat transfer vinyl so we could really sparkle. This a good application for DecoSPARKLE as it is not stretchy and works best on items that are more stable than clothing.
I had an issue with fitting the club name on the totes as it had to go over the straps. My solution was to layout the weeded club name on the tote and mark with heat proof tape where the letters met the edges of the straps. Removed the transfer and cut the letters apart at the tape lines with a rotary cutter. Then I put the sections back on the tote and lined them up so that the letters fell on either side of the strap and avoided any gaps during pressing.
The totes look great and we have lots of room to carry our finds from the show!

Where is your scrapbook show?
They turned out nice! I am jealous that your group meets once a month. My friend and I get together once every 5 years or so…way too long!
This is such a fun idea, Candace! I too am so jealous of your group!

More than 300 returning students at Mulungushi University have not reported at the institution after failing to raise the required tuition and lodging fees, while178 were stopped from writing deferred exams because they had not paid the full amounts. The situation, if not handled properly may result into further riots at the other public university.
Those that have not returned have completely failed to raise the 50 percent down payment that the university is demanding. The university management has stuck to its position of not registering any one who pays less than 50 percent as the university reopened on 7th February.
Unlike their colleagues at CBU and UNZA, the students at Mulungushi are not on the government bursary scheme and have to pay for their fees in the range of K16,000 per semester. The students have appealed for government intervention so that they are allowed to register with minimal payments and later on pay the balances but that has not been heeded.
Meanwhile after failing to pay the fees in full or at least 75 percent last year 70 students were barred from writing the exams and asked to raise money and come to write the deferred exams but even after paying more than three quarters they were still not allowed from sitting for the deferred exams. The other 108 completely failed to raise even about half the amount as some of them were being sponsored by some miners who lost jobs last year.

Die Westafrikanische Mantis (Pseudocreobotra ocellata) oder Augenfleckenmantis ist eine Art der Ordnung der Fangschrecken (Mantodea). Sie kommt in Wiesen und auf Sträuchern in West- und Südafrika vor. Die Art wurde zum ersten Mal 1805 von Palisot De Beauvois wissenschaftlich beschrieben. Wie die verwandte Art Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii wird sie auch Afrikanische Blütenmantis genannt.

Merkmale
Die auffallendsten Merkmale der westafrikanischen Mantis sind die Auswüchse am Körper und die farbenprächtigen spiralförmigen "Augenmotive" auf den Flügeln der adulten Tiere. Beide dieser Merkmale dienen zur Tarnung der Fangschrecke auf Blüten. Ausgewachsene Tiere werden zirka 30 mm groß. Die Körpergröße ist eines der wichtigsten Merkmale bei der Unterscheidung zwischen der westafrikanische Mantis und der zirka 10 mm größeren Afrikanischen Mantis. Außerdem sind die Augenflecken der Afrikanischen Mantis gelb-orange, während diese bei der westafrikanischen Mantis zitronengelb sind. Der Körperbau ist schlank und die Grundfärbung des Körpers variiert, meistens kommen neben der weißen oder rosaweißen Grundfärbung gelbe und grüne Streifen vor. Wegen ihres farbenprächtigen Aussehens werden die Gottesanbeterinnen gerne in Terrarien gehalten und gezüchtet.

Geschlechtsunterscheidung
Die weiblichen Exemplare der westafrikanischen Mantis sind 32 mm lang, während die Männchen nur eine Körperlänge von ungefähr 25 mm erreichen können. Der männliche Körper ist mit sechs gleich langen Anhängseln am Abdomen ausgestattet. Von diesen Anhängseln besitzt das Weibchen nur fünf. Die Flügel des Männchens sind länger und breiter als sein Abdomen, dadurch sind sie beim Fliegen wendiger. Bei den Weibchen überragen die schmäleren Flügel das Abdomen. Deshalb sind weibliche Exemplare nur zu kurzen Flügen fähig. Im Verhalten zeigen sich weibliche Tiere aggressiver als Männchen.

Fortpflanzung und Entwicklung
Nach der Imaginalhäutung dauert es 10 Tage, bis die Männchen paarungsbereit sind, bei Weibchen dauert es hingegen 14 Tage bis zur Geschlechtsreife. Sobald sich ein Paar gefunden hat, klettert das Männchen auf das Weibchen, die Kopulation dauert 6 bis 14 Stunden. Dabei kann es dazu kommen, dass das Männchen bereits vor der Kopulation vom Weibchen aufgefressen wird. Nach der Befruchtung dauert es ungefähr 7 Tage bis zur ersten Eiablage. Anschließend folgen weitere Eiablagen in Abständen von 7 bis 14 Tagen. Die Eier werden in sogenannten Ootheken gelegt, die an verschiedenen Substraten festgeklebt werden können. Insgesamt werden bis zu 8,5 cm große Ootheken gebaut, die mit jeweils ungefähr 60 Eiern gefüllt werden. Die Larven schlüpfen nach 4 bis 6 Wochen und imitieren durch ihre glänzend schwarze Farbe das Aussehen der Ameisen. Diese Färbung verlieren sie nach der 2 Häutung. Insgesamt haben weibliche Tiere eine Lebenserwartung von 9 Monaten im Laufe ihres Lebens häuten sie sich bis zu 7 Mal. Männchen hingegen leben nur 6 Monate und häuten sich 6 Mal.

Verbreitung
Das Hauptverbreitungsgebiet der Westafrikanischen Mantis sind die West- und Südafrikanischen Länder: Angola, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, Kamerun, Kenia, Liberia, Kongo, Mosambik, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tansania, Uganda, Togo und Kampala. Sie bewohnen dort hauptsächlich feuchte Gebiete und sind auf Sträuchern und Blüten zu finden.

Ernährung
Die Westafrikanische Mantis lauert ihren Opfern auf Blüten auf. Zu ihrer Beute gehören Fliegen, Grillen, Schaben und Heimchen. Bei Nahrungsmangel kann es gleich nach dem Schlüpfen zu Kannibalismus kommen.

Haltung
Weibliche Tiere sollten wegen ihrer Aggressivität alleine in einem Terrarium gehalten werden. Für solch ein Einzelterrarium genügt eine Größe von 15×15×20 cm. Larven und männliche Exemplare können in Fünfergruppen in 30×30×50 cm großen Terrarien gehalten werden. Als Lichtquelle können eine Leuchtstoffröhre oder andere hitzestrahlende Leuchtmittel verwendet werden. Die Beleuchtung sollte 12 Stunden pro Tag betragen. Die Temperatur sollte bei Tag 26–35 °C betragen und bei Nacht nicht unter 20 °C sinken. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit sollte tagsüber etwas geringer sein als Nachts. Als Einrichtung für das Terrarium können Kletteräste, Zweige, Gräser, Blüten oder diverse Pflanzen verwendet werden. Bei Gruppenhaltung muss ständig auf ausreichende Fütterung geachtet werden.

'Morning Joe': Trump Is A 40% President, Could Win In A Three-Way Race
MSNBC's Morning Joe covered a new poll from Quinnipiac University showing President Donald Trump losing in head-to-head match ups with the major Democratic presidential candidates, in some cases by very large margins. The poll shows Trump's support is steady but low.
"Joe, if we go back to the head to head matchups, it's stunning to me, and it has been in all these head to heads over the last several weeks, that Donald Trump is no different against Joe Biden than he is against Kamala Harris or Cory Booker or Mayor Pete or any of the candidates," Willie Geist said.
"He is a 40% or 41% president."
"He is," Joe Scarborough said. "You know, leading up to the midterms, when Democrats were so concerned, everybody was so concerned, it was important to remember that despite all the sound and the fury, despite all the tweets, despite the daily controversies, you had to focus on the fact that Donald Trump was a 40% president.
"That meant 6 in 10 Americans did not agree with Donald Trump and what he was doing in his presidency. That, of course, what did it lead to in the midterms? It led to the biggest vote total rout in the history of the United States of America for Democrats against Republicans."
"Susan Page, you look at the President here, and he's sitting at 40%, 41%, 42%. You can go back, you can see everything that he has done. You can see everything that he has said since January 20, 2017, when he did his American carnage speech. And you can see that all of his words and all of his deeds and all of his actions have been focused on one thing, solidifying his base. Well, congratulations, Mr. President. You've got 40%. And that's all you've got, right?"
Page broadly agreed with Scarborough's analysis and went on to speculate about how Trump could win in a presidential election.
"The question is, is that the ceiling?" Page said. "Is 40% or 42% the ceiling for President Trump? Because if your ceiling is 42%, the only way you win the presidency is in a three-way race. Not impossible to have a three-way race. If we have a two-way race, you're not going to win with 42%"

Silk faille off the shoulder gown. Modified trumpet skirt with full train.
Our "Carrie" gown is a guaranteed show-stopper in a daring off-the-shoulder cut and rich, coveted silk faille fabric. Above the bust, a modern center cutout is an interesting detail, while the back dips low for added drama. Fitted to slim and flatter, and to glide over curves, this dress suits the smaller-busted woman who wears an A- or B-cup bra size. The skirt flares in graceful proportion in a modified trumpet shape, with a long train that bears the same seductive buttons that close this gown at the top back.


Alpha Marine Ltd was founded in 1985 in Greece by its present Chairman, Mr. Nikolaos Dafnias who is a Naval Architect-Marine Engineer. Since its first steps, its main activities focused on yachts and passenger vessels.
At the end of the '80s, Alpha Marine introduced in the Greek market the concept of the "bus size", luxury, small Cruising Vessel". At the beginning of the '90s it undertook overall management and turn-key execution of major refits, such as the one of M/Y "PRINCESS TANYA", for which it was granted the "Best Refit Yacht 1994" Award (Showboats).
Alpha Marine Ltd began exploring the possibility of building superyachts complying with SOLAS regulations (i.e. having a transportation capacity for more than 12 guests). In collaboration with the unforgettable and progressive late Andreas Liveras, they designed and built the first Super SOLAS Yachts "ANNALIESSE" and "ALYSIA" (overall length: 85.30 m – transportation capacity: up to 36 guests). P/V "ALYSIA" was presented with the "Trendsetter Yacht" award in the 2006 Showboats Competition.
Alpha Marine's primary objective is customer satisfaction. Their strategy is to holistically meet clients' requirements by treating each project as an integral unit from Concept Design, Preliminary Design and Feasibility, Structural Design, Building, to Testing and Operation.
The knowledge of tomorrow's needs combined with the past experience leads their ways. Alpha Marine has launched the new hybrid of yachts, the SOLAS Yachts, a totally new concept in terms of construction, management and operations. Finally, everything they do is fuelled with passion. This is the core element behind every operation.
Alpha Marine's workforce consists of Architects, Naval Architects and Marine Engineers with acute knowledge on their respective fields, committed to their work, passionate, loyal, innovative and resourceful.


NEW ORLEANS- After all of the block parties was the main event, the famous Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Parade! We got a special view from above all of the action. Thousands came out to the 72nd annual parade that actually had a different route this year due to the completed road construction along Louisiana avenue. Nevertheless, it didn't stop the partying, dozens of floats, and all of the Irish channel fun this holiday weekend.


At approximately 2:39 pm on november 25, 2018, i witnessed a shiny, metallic oval traveling below the cloud layer from west to east in the airspace above loma / i-70. i was traveling at 50+ mph southbound. this craft traveled horizontally at a typical speed for approximately 45 seconds. the craft then changed shape from a thin oval to a fat oval and had a very bright reflection. at this point the craft reversed direction and climbed (10 degree) by either making a 180 degree turn with no forward progress or by maintaining its orientation and flying in the opposite direction. the acceleration of the craft made its trajectory to follow. it was so quick that the initial acceleration made the craft look like a straight line for a fraction of a second until its velocity was so great that it appeared to "disappear". the craft had no position lights and no contrails. the cloud layer was at least 30k feet. i later saw an airliner flying below the clouds and estimated it was at 24 to 30k in altitude. without knowing about the craft's size, i thought it appeared to be around 5 to 15k feet in altitude. i contacted the private mack airport to ask about flight operations with no luck. i am a retired naval flight officer with over 1,000 hours of flight time.

Russia And China Officially Announce A "New Global Reserve Currency"
And once again, as happens often with consequential news in the United States and the West, no one has noticed and no one seems to care.
If you've blinked over the last month, you may have missed it…
China and Russia are taking their shot at the U.S. dollar. And as often happens with consequential news in the United States and the West, no one seems to notice or even care.
Since the beginning of the year, I have been writing about the possibility of Russia and China challenging the US dollar's global reserve status. Now, it's happening.
It shouldn't be any surprise to those paying attention that Russia and China are strengthening their economic ties amidst continued Western sanctions on Russia as a result of the country's war in Ukraine.
What may surprise some people, however, is that Russia and the BRICS countries, including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, are officially working on their own "new global reserve currency," RT reported in late June. Nobody even seemed to notice.
"The issue of creating an international reserve currency based on a basket of currencies of our countries is being worked out," Vladimir Putin said at the BRICS business forum last month.
And of course, as Russia has been cut off from the SWIFT system, it is also pairing with China and the BRIC nations to develop "reliable alternative mechanisms for international payments" in order to "cut reliance on the Western financial system."
In the meantime, Russia is also taking other steps to strengthen the alliance between BRIC nations, including re-routing trade to China and India, according to CNN:
President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that Russia is rerouting trade to "reliable international partners" such as Brazil, India, China and South Africa as the West attempts to sever economic ties.
"We are actively engaged in reorienting our trade flows and foreign economic contacts towards reliable international partners, primarily the BRICS countries," Putin said in his opening video address to the participants of the virtual BRICS Summit.
In fact, "trade between Russia and the BRICS countries increased by 38% and reached $45 billion in the first three months of the year" this year, the report says. Meanwhile, Russian crude sales to China have hit record numbers during Spring of this year, edging out Saudi Arabia as China's primary oil supplier.
"Together with BRICS partners, we are developing reliable alternative mechanisms for international settlements," Putin said.
Putin continued, stating last month: "Contacts between Russian business circles and the business community of the BRICS countries have intensified. For example, negotiations are underway to open Indian chain stores in Russia [and to] increase the share of Chinese cars, equipment and hardware on our market."
In June, Putin also accused the West of ignoring"the basic principles of [the] market economy" such as free trade. "It undermines business interests on a global scale, negatively affecting the wellbeing of people, in effect, of all countries," he said.
President Xi echoed Putin's sentiments, according to a June writeup by Bloomberg:
"Politicizing, instrumentalizing and weaponizing the world economy using a dominant position in the global financial system to wantonly impose sanctions would only hurt others as well as hurting oneself, leaving people around the world suffering. Those who obsess with a position of strength, expand their military alliance, and seek their own security at the expense of others will only fall into a security conundrum."
Today's article is not behind a paywall, because I believe its content to be too important - but if you have the means and wish to support my work, I'd love to have you as a subscriber:
The developments obviously further my long held belief that a gold backed global reserve currency is on its way - something I have been writing about for months.
I'm also stunned that nobody seems to care that arguably the largest shift on the global macroeconomic playing field over the last half century may be taking place.
Sure, under the context of the conflict in Ukraine, the news may seem "par for the course" of sorts, which may result in the media and the financial world downplaying it. But put this piece of information out there on its own, without context - that there is a coordinated global challenge taking place to the U.S. dollar - and it would be the biggest news story in decades. Imagine if China and Russia just dropped this out of nowhere? Now, remember that both countries have been working on, and preparing for, this situation for years.
I mean, holy hell, look at Russia's Treasury holdings as far back as 2018:
As I've noted before, Russia was also increasing its holdings of gold over the same period:
And this headline came out in 2020, just months before Russia's invasaion of Ukraine
Does anyone think it's a coincidence?
Nikkei wrote at the time:
Dedollarization has been a priority for Russia and China since 2014, when they began expanding economic cooperation following Moscow's estrangement from the West over its annexation of Crimea. Replacing the dollar in trade settlements became a necessity to sidestep U.S. sanctions against Russia.
Ergo, it seems to me that the BRIC nations understand exactly how precarious of a financial situation the U.S. - and our dollar - is in. Despite the dollar's recent strengthening, these nations have been in the midst of a multi-decade-long plan to de-dollarize. Even before the Ukraine conflict started, both China and Russia were stockpiling gold and working on denominating transactions outside of the U.S. dollar. It was another "secret" that was out there in the open.
Remember how "insane" this headline was just 6 months ago when I predicted it for the first time?
Everybody told me that it was a stretch. Today, it isn't so much anymore.
Meanwhile, since the BRIC conference, ties between Russia and China continue to tighten, with Japan even warning this week about the pair's "strengthening of military ties" - at the same time China has closely scrutinized a planned trip by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.
Japan said this past week:
"As a result of the current aggression, it is possible that Russia's national power in the medium- to longterm may decline, and the military balance within the region and military cooperation with China may change.
In the vicinity of Japan, Russia has made moves to strengthen cooperation with China, such as through joint bomber flights and joint warship sails involving the Russian and Chinese militaries, as well as moves to portray such military cooperation as strategic coordination."
Japan said this alignment between the two countries "must continue to be closely watched in the future."
While the economic gears turn behind the scenes, China is also becoming incresingly cagey about Taiwan. The country "has sent warplanes into Taiwan's self-declared air defense zone identification zone many times in recent months," according to CNN, and recently alluded to the idea of a no-fly zone over Taiwan ahead of a planned visit by Nancy Pelosi.
President Biden commented on Pelosi's travel plans this week, stating: "The military thinks it's not a good idea right now. But I don't know what the status of it is."
We're sure Pelosi will wind up going anyway. Remember, this is the same woman who danced her way through Chinatown while Covid was spreading to the U.S., from China, to prove she wasn't racist.
I can hear her en route to Taiwan now:
"I negotiate million dollar stock trades for breakfast, I'm sure I can handle this Euro trash."

I share your concerns. What's most disappointing is that nobody in power fights for the West. They fight for either themselves or some nefarious unnamed parties. It's like trying to take your team in the Super Bowl seriously yet knowing the your coach is openly working for the other team.
But at least the unexpected Die Hard reference is there to cheer me up as we head towards the ice berg.

Brilliant article. You provide the best analysis on how this situation can play out over anyone else I've seen. The two charts comparing Russia's treasury holdings vs stockpiling gold is jarring! The playbook is very clear.
