Турецька палата () є однією із найстаріших і найзначніших колекцій османського мистецтва за межами Туреччини. Є частиною Збройової палати і входить до складу Державних художніх зборів Дрездена

Історія
У другій половині XVI століття почастішали дипломатичні контакти Західної Європи з османами. По велінню імператора Максиміліана II в 1573 році в Стамбулі з'явилося дипломатичне представництво, на чолі якого стояв барон Давид Унгнад. У 1574 р. в його супроводі подорожував саксонський дворянин Генріх фон Бюнау ауф Требен, що прислав курфюрстові Августу Саксонському, разом з шпигунською доповіддю про османський флот, розкішний меч. За дорученням курфюрста Крістіана I Саксонського до Італії виїхав Генріх фон Гаген, щоб оголосити про прихід до влади свого пана. Як подарунок від італійських князів в 1587 р. в Дрезден прибула східна зброя, у тому числі з власності великих герцогів Медічі, разом з іншими східними предметами.

Назва «Турецька палата» згадується уперше в 1614 році. Найпізніше в 1591 році збори східних презентів зайняли свою власну нішу у колекції саксонських курфюрстів.

Наприкінці XVI століття вибухнула війна між Габсбургами і османами, Тринадцятирічна війна в Угорщині (1593—1606 рр.). Одним з найтісніших союзників імператора був Крістіан II (курфюрст Саксонії). Подарунки імператора Рудольфа II і його воєначальника Джорджо Басти збагатили зібрання Дрездена східною зброєю, кінним спорядженням і алегоричними зображеннями війни проти османів.

Під час правління Августа Сильного Саксонія знову протистояла османам. Його польська армія отримала перемогу в 1698 році на Поділлі — важливий крок на шляху до укладення миру в Карловіці. Август Сильний також віддавав данина так званій «турецькій моді», і захоплення східною культурою стало ще відчутнішим. Він звелів набувати екзотичні речі в Туреччині — шатри, одяг, дорогу зброю і верхове спорядження разом з кіньми, і влаштовував багаті турецькі бенкети. Колекцію було сформовано, крім того, завдяки численним дипломатичним подарункам разом із цілеспрямованими придбаннями. У списку даруючих були султани, татарські хани і російський цар. Частину предметів було створено під впливом османської культури у знаменитих європейських майстернях.

Колекція
Нинішня постійна експозиція займає площу 750 м² у Палаці-резиденції і представляє близько 600 експонатів — зброя, обладунки, прапори, предмети верхового османського спорядження і одіяння. Відомим експонатом є шатер із золота і шовку XVII ст. завдовжки в 20, шириною в 8 і заввишки в 6 метрів, прикрашений вишивками з атласу, бавовни і позолоченої шкіри. Витрати на реставрацію склали понад 3,6 млн євро. Єдиною у світі є колекція османських луків, натягнутих в 1586 році.

В період 1588—1722 рр. колекція Збройової палати була виставлена у Стаєнному дворі, місці проведення лицарських турнірів. У 1832 році доповнене Августом Сильним зібрання розташувалося у Цвінгері і дістало назву «Королівський історичний музей», а згодом, в 1877 році — у той час новому стаєнному дворі Іоганнеумі. У 1939—1944 рр. колекція була вивезена з метою недопущення втрат під час війни. У 1958 році була повернена в Дрезден з Ленінграда у складі зборів Збройової палати. У 1959 році частина Турецької палати було об'єднано з постійною експозицією Збройової палати. Нині обидва музеї знаходяться на місці свого первинного розташування в дрезденському палаці.

The Library Board formulates policies and may change policies as needed. The Library Board works in partnership with the Director to make policy. The Director is responsible for implementing all personnel policies. Personnel policies and policy changes are presented at library board meetings and considered and authorized with formal motions for approval and votes of the Library Board.
The Lincoln Library maintains a policy of nondiscrimination with employees and applicants for employment. No aspect of employment with the Library will be influenced by race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, veteran status or any other basis prohibited by law. In the case of applicants or employees with qualified disabilities, reasonable accommodation will be made if such applicant or employee can perform the essential functions of the job or the accommodation would not cause undue hardship requiring significant difficulty or expense to the operation of the Library.
All employees of the Lincoln Library must be citizens of the United States or have a valid United States work permit before they can begin employment at the Library.
Harassment is contrary to basic standards of conduct between individuals and is prohibited by federal and state law. The Lincoln Library prohibits any form of harassment based on race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin or disability.
Staff should report any inappropriate behavior or incident to the Director (or, if the Director is involved, to the Library Board Chair). The report should be in writing with the date, location and names of individuals involved. Complaints will be confidential and investigated within 24 hours. If the problem is not satisfactorily resolved by the Director, it may be appealed to the Library Board and considered in a board meeting during an executive session to discuss personnel issues.
Public libraries in Kansas are legally designated as no-smoking institutions under K.S.A. 21-4009. Smoking is prohibited on library premises, this includes the use of hookahs/ecigarettes/vapor cigarettes. No employee or volunteer may use, possess, sell, transfer, purchase or be under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances or illegal drugs while on library property or while on library business. Violations of this policy will result in disciplinary action and a second violation will be cause for termination.
As required under the Occupational Safety and Health Act Regulations, any employee or volunteer who is injured while on the job should immediately report the injury, however minor, to the Director or if the Director is not available, to the Library Board Chair.
Any employee who is injured on the job and who requires medical treatment should go to a doctor for treatment. Medical staff should be informed that the injury should be treated as a Workers' Compensation claim.
In case of serious injury or illness on the job, an employee's family member may be contacted to take the employee for treatment. In the case of a critical injury or illness on the job, emergency service "911" and a family member will be called and the employee taken to a hospital by emergency service. The Library will maintain a record for each employee that identifies the employee's primary physician and any health conditions which might affect the employee's physical condition at work.
Open positions for library employment will be advertised in the local newspaper(s) and posted in the library. Other advertising and recruitment may be made as needed. All applicants must complete an application form. Applicants who best meet the qualifications for the job will be invited to interview. Interviews will be conducted by the Director or, in the case of the position of Director, by the Library Board. Only job-related questions and legally-permissible inquiries will be asked during employment interviews. Job classification, pay range and job descriptions are determined by the Director and the Library Board. All new employees for any position are required to successfully pass a background check that is provided by SCKLS.
Two or more employees related through the immediate family may not be hired without the approval of the Library Board. Immediate family includes spouses, children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters as well as previously named relatives through marriage.
In instances where employees marry or become related by marriage while employed by the Lincoln Library, the Library Board may grant an exception at the request of the employees. In such an instance, employees who are related shall not serve in a supervisory capacity or fiscal/payroll position over a relative without Library Board authorization.
The image of the Library is conveyed through the attitudes, appearance, conduct and working relationships of the staff. Because the Library is a public service, employees of the Library are expected to be courteous, cooperative and communicative when assisting library users or working with fellow employees. Should problems arise with service, it is the responsibility of each employee to make every effort to solve the problem through open, positive communication with the person or persons involved in the situation. If necessary, the Director may assist in finding solutions to the problem.
Library employees should be aware that they do not have to accept verbal abuse from library users. During phone communications, a library employee may politely say that they are not required to listen to abusive language and if the abusive language continues, the library employee may end the conversation. If the library user is in the Library, they can be referred to the Director or if the library user is requested by the library employee to not use abusive language and the library user refuses to comply, the library employee may tell the library user to leave. If the library user refuses to leave, then the police should be called to remove the library user from the building.
During the training period, which is defined as 90 days from initial employment, an employee may be dismissed with or without cause.
The Library Board and the Director have the authority to discipline employees for the willful violation of personnel policies. If violations are repeated, the employee may be terminated for cause.
Employees of the Lincoln Library are "employees at will". Either the Board of Directors of the Lincoln Library or the employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time, either with or without cause, and also without advance notice.
The first step in the disciplinary process is for the Director to give the employee a verbal warning and to identify actions to correct the problem. If a second warning is necessary, the Director will reprimand the employee in writing and again identify action to correct the problem. The Library Board chair or board member designated by the Board will serve as a witness to the second warning and if necessary, to the termination.
The second warning will include a specific length of probationary time determined by the Director within which the employee must improve his/her behavior. The employee may submit comments in writing to be attached to the record of second warning of disciplinary action. At the end of the probationary period, the Director may decide if the performance of the employee who is on probation has sufficiently improved and remove the employee from probationary status. If during the probationary period the employee's performance does not improve, the Director may, with written documentation, terminate the employee.
A grievance is a complaint involving misuse or misinterpretation of a rule, practice or policy under the personnel rules or board policies. A sincere attempt should be made by the Director to resolve any grievance through explanation and counseling before it becomes necessary to file a written form. If a grievance fails to be resolved, the employee may within a specified number of working days file a written appeal with the Director or Library Board. A grievance committee comprised of the Library Board and the Director (unless the Director is filing the complaint) should meet to consider the complaint. The committee will prepare a written report of its decision and the report will be placed in the personnel file of all employees involved in the grievance. The existence of this grievance procedure does not alter any employment-at-will relationship nor is there any contractual right to grievance procedures.
All requests for information about current or former library employees should be referred to the Director. The Library upholds the Kansas Open Record Statutes which specify that only hire date, term of employment, position and verification of salary within range may be disclosed about an employee or former employee.
To resign in good standing, employees should give a minimum of (14) fourteen days' written notice. Any employee who resigns in good standing may request a Letter of Recommendation from the Director. Unless an employee or former employee resigns in good standing, the only information disclosed will be in accordance with the policy for "Confidentiality of Employee Personnel Records". If an employee resigns in good standing and with appropriate notice, they will be paid for their unused annual leave as defined in the Annual Leave Policy.
The Library Board and Director will make recommendations for staff wages on an annual basis or as needed. In addition, the Library Board determines the Director's wage on an annual basis or as needed. Upon approval of the Library Board, salary recommendation will be incorporated into the annual budget.
All staff have the extra benefit of half price copies and fax.
Federal law requires the Library pay at least the current minimum wage to all employees. The Library, as a unit of local and state government, is covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) 20 U.S.C. 201 et seq.
In accordance with federal law and in lieu of monetary overtime for hours worked in the work week in excess of 40 hours, compensatory time will be given at the rate of 1 ½ for each hour of overtime. Compensatory time must be used within the following seven-day work week. Nevertheless, no employee may work in excess of 40 hours/week without the approval of the Director.
The work week is defined as a seven-day period beginning on Sunday at 12:00 am and ending on Saturday at 11:59 pm. The Director will schedule the work week of all part-time employees. Unless authorized by the Director, no part-time employee will work in excess of the hours they are scheduled during the work week.
Each employee is required to provide and maintain accurate time records noting hours worked. Library employees are paid on the 15th and last day of each month. Paychecks are distributed by the Director. Employees need to have their time filled out at least 4 days prior to the end of the pay period.
Library staff that work more than 10 hours/week will be granted leave with pay called vacation leave.
Vacation leave must be earned before it is taken. After six months of continuous service, eligible employees may begin to take whatever annual leave they have been granted, subject to proper notification and permission. The Director requests use of annual leave with the approval of the Library Board Chair and library employees request use of annual leave with the approval of the Director. Annual leave will not accrue during periods of time for which the employee was on written approved leave without pay. Employees may not share or loan vacation leave.
Each employee will have an anniversary date based on the date employment began. Vacation leave will be earned, credited, and paid on the basis of the employment anniversary date, not on the basis of the fiscal or calendar year. An employee is not allowed to carry a negative vacation leave balance. This would be advancing salary to an employee and it is not permissible to do such.
A full-time staff member will receive vacation leave at the end of the following periods of continuous employment as shown in the following chart. For purposes of payment for annual leave, a day is defined as 8 hours and a week is 5 days.
Other library employees who work more than 10 hours each week will receive vacation leave prorated on the basis of the number of hours worked each week applied to the full-time base of 40 hours. The formula is: Hours worked/week by part-time employee divided by 40 hours' times amount of vacation leave allowed for full-time staff.
Vacation leave must be used in the year it is earned and any unused leave is forfeited without pay.
a. Full-time and regular part-time employees are entitled to sick leave pay at a rate of one day per month, pro-rated according to their typical hours per workday – 4, 6, or 8 hours.
b. Sick leave with pay may be used for absences resulting from illness, injury, accident or other incapacities occurring either on or off the job. It may also be used for time off in the case of illness in the immediate family. For purposes of this policy, immediate family member is defined as: father, mother, spouse, and children, including corresponding in-law and step relationships, and individuals who reside in the employee's household whether legally related or not.
c. Sick leave may be used for doctor's visits.
d. An employee may accrue no more than 20/30/40 hours of sick leave based on their typical hours per workday.
e. An employee may not be compensated for unused sick leave pay upon leaving employment of the Library.
f. An employee who improperly claims sick leave shall be subject to disciplinary action, including loss of pay or dismissal.
Since time off with pay is provided for employees, time off without pay should not be needed and generally is not allowed except as provided under the policy on Family and Medical Leave. Approval by the Library Board is required under any and all extenuating circumstances and should be sought in advance when possible. An employee who misses scheduled work hours without appropriate notification and uses of annual leave is subject to disciplinary action.
The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) applies to public agencies including the public library. To be eligible for Family and Medical Leave, an employee must have been employed for at least 12 months and have been employed at least 1250 hours of service during the 12-month period preceding the commencement of the leave. Such unpaid leave is available in the case of the birth or adoptions of a child, care for a child, spouse or parent with serious health condition or due to the disabling illness of the employee.
The employee will use any accrued annual leave prior to requesting unpaid FMLA leave and should provide 30 days' notice to the Library Board before taking the leave. Annual leave will not be accrued during the employee's FMLA leave. When FMLA leave is requested as the result of a serious health condition, the employee will provide the Library Board with a certification statement issued by a health care provider. An employee returning from FMLA leave is entitled to return to their position with equivalent benefits, pay and other former terms and conditions of employment.
The Director is currently the only library employee eligible to request unpaid FMLA leave. An employee must work at least on average of 24 hours/week over a 12-month period to be eligible for FMLA.
The Director will receive three paid days of leave in the event of the death of an immediate family member. Immediate family member is defined as the death of a spouse, children or other relative residing in the employee's household, parents and parents of spouse, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, spouses of brothers and sisters of the employee and spouse. Other library employees will receive paid leave for the hours they were schedule to work during the three-day period of their bereavement absence.
In the case of holidays, part-time employees will be paid for the hours that they were to regularly scheduled to work.
The Library Board may by motion and approval in a regular or special meeting designate other days as holidays as needed or on a one-time basis.
b.	Court appearances as a witness in answer to a subpoena or as an expert witness when acting in an official capacity in connection with the library.
No part-time library employee may take leave for a day or part of a day without proper notification and permission from the Director. In the case of the Director's leave, the Director should notify and receive permission from the Library Board Chair.
The Director and part-time library employees will be paid for leave and reimbursed for any lodging, meals or mileage for the purpose of continuing education and training. Mileage will be reimbursed at the current federal rate. Prior to attending any continuing education and training, library employees will request the Director and/or Library Board authorize their approval. In the case of the Director, the Director will ask the Library Board to authorize requests for Director's continuing education and training.

Q: React's setState doesn't change state and update component I'm calling console.log as a callback from setState and it seems like setState doesn't work. I'm trying to write a function which takes state defined  like this:
this.state = {
     ...this.props.substate
};

this.props.substate is an array of objects, so I'm transforming it to object.
Here is a function that transforms state back to array, removes last element and then transforms array into object:
handleClickRem = event => {
    event.preventDefault();

    console.log(this.state);

    const arrayFromState = Object.values(this.state);
    console.log(arrayFromState);

    const newArray = arrayFromState.slice(0, -1);
    console.log('newArray',newArray);

    const newState = {...newArray};
    console.log(newState);
    //newState is exactly what I want it to be

    this.setState(newState, () => console.log(this.state));
};

All console logs works perfectly apart from the last one. I'm also checking state in render(), but it also seems to show no change of state.
I've done similarly a function, which adds elements to state and it works perfectly.
I'll be very thankful for help and patience :)

We are pleased to announce the winners of the CMP-CCNet 2018 Adaptive Management Case Study Competition, our second competition designed to promote cross-organizational, cross-project, and cross-coach/practitioner learning in conservation!
We received some excellent entries. After crowd-sourced voting, our judges (Rob Sutter, Ian Dutton, Rachel Neugarten, Daniel Sprod, and Dave Kramer) selected the final three winners and announced them at the 2018 CCNet Rally in Australia's Blue Mountains.
Congratulations to the winners, and a big thank you to all who participated and shared your rich experiences!
Tomás Saratscheff, Fundación Legado Chile (in the middle) receives the 1st place prize on behalf of Corporación Nacional Forestal de Chile, with judges David Kramer and Robert Sutter, CMP board chair Caroline Stem, and CCNet chair Brad Northrup. Photo by Felix Cybulla.
First Place awarded to The Road Traveled in Chile: Lessons and Challenges in Strengthening Adaptive Management in a National System of Protected Areas.
This inspiring entry won handsomely, showing good implementation of the Open Standards at multiple scales and providing an excellent overview of the issues involved in making OS the core planning process. It also demonstrated a successful change in organizational culture, with the competition's "crowd-sourced voting" swamped by enthusiastic Chilean staff and colleagues. (Award: up to US $2,000 toward participation in a conference/technical meeting).
The competition was tough, and two other strong projects merit an Honorable Mention.
An impressive effort from Bat Conservation International, From Great Conversation to Great Conservation demonstrates that the Open Standards can be deployed across an organization with sufficient management will and funding. This is a great example of learning by doing throughout the training process. The case study focused on very early steps in the OS and does not yet have lessons learned regarding specific actions. We hope to hear more over time!
Whilst still in its early days, the very promising USAID Learning Group Explores the Effectiveness of Enterprises as a Conservation Strategy demonstrates a highly scalable approach. With a deep initial investment in developing a generic Theory of Change and extensive evidence gathering, USAID has created a robust framework for systematic learning. As conservation enterprises lie at the core of many bilateral and multilateral conservation and community development investments, it is critical to understand the conditions under which they are effective or not effective and why.

Philanthropy Journal is pleased to present its first live, interactive webinar of 2013: "How to Start a Nonprofit – A Step by Step Guide" on March 19. It will be led by Raleigh attorney Marty Martin, whose practice focuses on providing legal and training services related to nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations. It also will address the challenges of starting new nonprofits and why it may prove more advantageous for would-be nonprofits to partner with existing groups to leverage resources.
Starting an exempt nonprofit organization requires compliance with IRS and state legal requirements and key organizational planning considerations for a founder. During the webinar, Martin will explain how embedded in relevant documents and application processes are legal operating constraints generally unknown to someone interested in starting an exempt nonprofit organization.
The webinar will cover required legal documents including Articles of Incorporation; IRS 990 form; IRS 1023 application; state tax requirements; and charitable solicitation license. Incorporated in this discussion will be planning tips; distinctions between nonprofit and exempt organizations; and legal operating requirements to maintain the exempt status.
Participants will be able to submit questions for response during the program. At the end of the webinar, they will have a broad outline of what is needed to start and operate a nonprofit successfully.
Register now to join us for this live event, which will be streamed online from 2-3:30 p.m. March 19. The fee is $30. If you cannot join us live, the webinar will be available for later download for viewing at your convenience.

Lucent turns in quarterly profit
Lucent Technologies has reported profit in its second financial quarter and expects revenue to continue to grow this year.
Published: 21 Apr 2004 12:35
The company reported earnings of $68m (£39m) for the three months to 31 March, down from the $349m it reported in the preceding quarter, but up from a loss of $553m in the same quarter a year ago.
Revenue continued its decline, slipping to $2.19bn in the most recent quarter from $2.26bn in the quarter which ended 31 December and $2.4bn a year ago.
Inventory has crept up over the past six months, from $632m on 30 September to $789m on 31 March.
"After several years of dramatic decline, aggregate capital spending is stabilising," said Lucent chairman and chief executive officer Patricia Russo.
"Traditional segments [such as circuit-switched wireline telephony infrastructure] are shrinking but others are growing," she said.
Spending on 3G wireless network infrastructure is likely to grow at 15% or 20% annually through to 2006, and that on next-generation optical networks at 10% a year over the same period, she said.
Lucent is benefiting from the growth in 3G spending, Russo said, with seven of the eight largest network operators in Europe delivering broadband mobile data services over Lucent's PC cards.
The company has also won infrastructure contracts in Spain, and is seeing interest in its CDMA (code division multiple access) wireless equipment for use in the 450MHz band in Eastern Europe.
While revenue in the company's mobility solutions segment slipped to $951m in the quarter, from $1.1bn a year earlier, operating income for the segment rose to $378m from $249m.
The company is also pursuing business in non-traditional carrier markets such as Ethernet over Sonet networking, and voice-over-IP.
This is essential to counter the continuing decline in revenue from its traditional wireline products.
"Wireline is where we see opportunities to grow, in VoIP technology, IP centrex and residential IP," she said.

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is touting legislation to reform the system for providing former presidents with certain perks and benefits. "Taxpayers should not be on the hook for subsidizing former presidents' lives to the tune of millions of dollars," Ernst said in a conference call with Iowa reporters today.
The perks for former presidents include office space, staff, and travel expenses. Ernst noted in fiscal year 2015, former U.S. presidents cost taxpayers more than $2.4 million in travel, office space, communications, personnel, and other expenses.
A similar measure was approved by the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday. "At a time when we are more than $18 trillion in debt, it is critical that we stop talking and start cutting wasteful spending," Ernst said.
Congress approved benefits for former presidents in 1958. Ernst said there's nothing in the proposed legislation that would cut the funding of the security or protection of a former president. According to a Congressional Research Service report last year, taxpayers spent over $420,000 on a more than 8,200-square-foot office in Dallas for George W. Bush. Former President Bill Clinton's office in New York cost taxpayers $415,000.


I can't mark the first loneliness, the elongated pause, inkless and imagining magnolias. Or the first guilt, terrain of peaches overripe and trespassed with rigid fingers. Or the first haunt, a gas station bathroom swarmed with flies, slack spirits dangling from their mouths. Or the first love, tide of hyacinth, tide of red mud, chorus of elderly song. Or the first love, inebriated child wandering along snowy tracks. Or the first love, holding you by the wrists, shaking you like a bell.
This just appeared in my Vimeo feed yesterday, but I thought it was too good a companion for Friday's and Thursday's videos to hold it in the queue.

UK climate activists stranded in historic town in Kosovo
In this photo taken on Friday, April 24, 2020, Rosie Watson and Mike Elm visit the medieval fortress in Prizren, Kosovo. British climate activists Rosie Watson and Mike Elm were on an international bicycle and running tour to promote their campaign when they got stuck in Kosovo because of the coronavirus pandemic. Watson, 25, from Loweswater in northwestern England, and Mike Elm, 32, from Edinburgh, Scotland, have been stranded in Prizren, a town in Kosovo, 85 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of the capital Pristina. Since mid-March, Kosovo has been in a lockdown with all of its land and air border crossings shut. The virus has killed at least 22 people and there are more than 780 confirmed cases.
British climate activists Rosie Watson and Mike Elm were on an international bicycle and running tour to promote their green campaign when they got stuck in Kosovo because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Watson, 25, from Loweswater in northwestern England, and Elm, 32, from Edinburgh, Scotland, have been stranded in Prizren, a town in Kosovo, 85 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of the capital, Pristina.
Since mid-March, Kosovo has been in a lockdown with all of its land and air border crossings shut. The virus has killed at least 22 people in the Balkan nation, which has more than 790 confirmed cases.
The couple decided against getting on an evacuation flight organized by the British government, saying they are against plane travel and they want to continue their journey once it's possible to do so. Their trip is low-budget and they have had free accommodation since the start.
They are enjoying the historic, cobblestone streets of Prizren, a town along the Bistrica River and the Sharri Mountains that was founded in the second century A.D. and has a medieval castle. They have also been sampling fli, a local butter pie, and been reassured by a traditional welcome from residents.
In Prizren, they have focused on writing about their trip. Watson has a blog as does Elm.
Watson started her "The New Story Run" in August last year from the United Kingdom, planning a two-year tour on foot to Mongolia "to tell stories of people finding a better and more equal and healthy way of living for us and the planets and tackling the climate crisis." After running 3,570 kilometers (2,220 miles), or 17 kilometers (around 10 miles) per day, she has a lot to write about.
Inspired by her efforts, Elm joined her in November aiming to cycle a total of 12,000 kilometers (7,450 miles), or 50 kilometers (30 miles) a day. Before getting stuck, they took different routes, but they met up time and again along the way.
Elm met people in Prizren trying "to improve this beautiful city by bringing more trees and green space." Previously, he was in Zlarin, which aims at becoming Croatia's first single-use plastic free island. In neighboring Albania, Watson met with a community battling against hydroelectric operations that he says are endangering nearby Valbona National Park.
"A better world for our children needs a better world for us right now," Elm said.
The pandemic will urge people to "see some of the benefits of having less cars in the city and the cleaner air, the nicer sound, the quieter environment," he added.
When borders reopen, their plan is to continue their journey through Bulgaria, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and finally Mongolia.
"This virus has shown that we, and governments, have the ability to transform society and whole countries very fast — something which we need to do to avoid the impacts of the climate crisis," Watson said.

Certain fields on my form relate to different parts of the process. I was wondering if there was any way to highlight particular fields in colors so that as someone is trying to fill in the fields they will know that these 3 fields colored green relate to x and red relates to Y. I know that you can have colors on reports and set up formulas so that if blank field has blank value show in red but that is different. I just want the field name to be highlighted in a color.
The code in the pastie assumes you are using labels on the left of your fields. If you are using labels above the fields you will have to change the jQuery selectors slightly.
(1) CSS properties with a hyphen (eg background-color) are converted to camel case (backgroundColor) when supplied as jQuery CSS keys.
(2) You will have to hunt around for the appropriate colors that are muted but provided enough of a clue to your users what a specific color indicates. Maybe include a color legend on your form.
Glimmer is definitely my favorite color.

Review: MANK
"Citizen Kane" is widely regarded as one of the best films ever made. But in 1942, it won just a single Oscar for best original screenplay. And despite the massive ego of the film's wunderkind first-time director, a young Orson Welles, he reluctantly shared the award with writer Herman J. Mankiewicz.
"Mank" explains the origin of their long conflict over credit. It's a sad, fascinating story, which makes for an engaging film.
Because "Mank" is so expertly crafted and meticulously made, it should come as no surprise that director David Fincher is personally invested here. While it can be said that any director is "invested" in the film they are working on, since Fincher's late father, Jack, penned the screenplay, Fincher has a close connection to the material. And, after his success with 1997's "The Game," it's been on his agenda for years.
An uncompromising auteur, Fincher's work has consistently been challenging yet, accessible, and very marketable. He's given us dark thrillers like "Se7en" and "Gone Girl" and biting dramas like the Oscar-winning "The Social Network." The release of a Fincher film is a happening in the cinematic universe.
For "Mank," the director insisted on filming in black & white. This demand may have contributed to the production delay. Although Hollywood began without color, it quickly relegated black & white film to artistic, niche offerings. And shameless, commercial efforts to colorize classic films routinely created controversy, with cineastes revolting against the insidious, post-production technical wizardry.
The decision to shoot "Mank" in stark expressionist tones is a provocative choice given the association with "Citizen Kane," one of the most famous black & white films ever. Lurking in the background narratively and aesthetically is the Welles/Mankiewicz epic tale of the life of the fictitious Charles Foster Kane (played by Welles), a troubled media tycoon.
"Citizen Kane" is a savage social commentary with character elements that drew the ire of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst (played in "Mank" by an almost unrecognizable Charles Dance). Hearst is widely believed to be the basis for Kane, but Mankiewicz (played by Gary Oldman) disputed this assertion. Fincher's film embraces the Hearst connection, as Mankiewicz's relationship with the wealthy businessman is key to the plot.

The University of Edinburgh has appointed the UK's first dance company in residence in partnership with The Traverse Theatre.
Acclaimed contemporary dance duo White & Givan will take up a two-year placement, which - as well as giving them space to develop their craft - seeks to engage new audiences with contemporary dance.
Giving back to the city and to Scotland is a foremost ambition for Moray House School of Education.
Dance artists and choreographers Errol White and Davina Givan, who co-direct White & Givan, are the latest residents to build on the Moray House initiative offering innovative new platforms for dance and dance education.
The unique joint residency will enable students to hold workshops with pupils in schools across Scotland, introducing them to the techniques and history of contemporary dance.
The dance artist in residency initiative began in 2012, with dance artists, Vincent Hantam and Chris Kidd holding a residency in Moray House School of Education.
We are exhilarated by this unique opportunity to position our contemporary dance company within these prestigious settings for the next two years.
For the first time, this third artists' residency at Moray House School of Education is being developed in strategic partnership with the Traverse Theatre - one of the world renowned institutions showcasing new theatre works since 1963.
This is a perfect example of how by working together artists and institutions can support each other to creatively flourish and, in doing so, provide the conditions for great new work made in Edinburgh to fly.
The launch of the joint dance residency held at the Traverse Theatre featured a preview of White & Givan's new website as well as Breathe - their latest dance duet in the wake of its nationwide spring tour.
Breathe blends contemporary dance and theatre, as the dancers begin as two distinct individuals and gradually leave the stage to re-emerge as one.
White & Givan are also supported by Creative Scotland through Open Project Funding.
White & Givan will bring quality in-house lived experience to our students, narrowing the gap between theory and practice in dance science and education. We will prioritise working with schools so that they have opportunities to engage with the practice and performances by this esteemed artistic duo.

The Hubris of Houston
I am heartbroken over the devastation in Houston this week. I have been and will be writing more elsewhere about that and the long recovery. (Colorlines has one of the best rundowns of how to donate to the most vulnerable.) However, right now I want to take a moment to sit with the lessons and warnings that Hurricane Harvey has to offer regarding climate, class, government, and civil society.
I don't pretend to be the most eloquent on these things, so I will offer a compilation instead of some of the things I'm reading this week.
Why are the crucial questions about Hurricane Harvey not being asked? If you read nothing else on this list, please read this. We caused climate change, we inflict it on those least able to defend themselves or recover from it, and we know we're making it worse. And I think I may also adopt "climate breakdown" as my term d'arte.
On Race and Class
Race and Class Are the Biggest Issues Around Hurricane Harvey and We Need to Start Talking About Them: Some people may say that it's too early for this conversation, that people are stranded and homeless and hungry right now and we have bigger problems, but isn't that exactly how we got here? Ignoring these issues during and after Hurricane Katrina didn't help New Orleans then or Houston now. We need to get on top of this.
On Climate And Environment
Why Storms Like Harvey Could Become the New Normal: Make no mistake: This is the climate crisis in action, and without taking substantive steps to shift away from the dirty fossil fuels driving it, we're likely to see storms like Harvey more often in our lifetimes.
Please note, I do not mean to imply with the next two articles what some have said – that Texans deserve this deluge for the oligarchical Republican ideologues they vote into office. For one thing, Houston is a Democratic-leaning city, but more importantly, no one of any party deserves to lose everything like this, overnight, with almost no warning. And beyond Houston, we are doing this to our cities and coastlines, river valleys and communities everywhere.
Houston's flooding shows what happens when you ignore science and let developers run rampant: Wetlands. The tragedy of Houston is a story about wetlands. Like New York needed dunes and barrier islands (and wetlands!) to protect us from Superstorm Sandy, Houston and New Orleans both needed more of their wetlands to protect them from Hurricanes Harvey and Katrina.
Houston Is Drowning—In Its Freedom From Regulations: Texas's famously permissive zoning laws, which have made it such a fertile ground (pun intended) for the Tiny House Movement, as well as other ruggedly individualistic principles of regulation, have contributed greatly to the mass dismantling of Houston's protective wetlands and other safeguards.
Harvey's Toll on Energy Industry Shows a Texas Vulnerability: "We know so little about what these companies are doing, or prepared to do," said Gretchen T. Goldman, the research director for the Union of Concerned Scientists. "History tells us something will spill." There was also a frightening story on NPR this morning about the danger of pollution and explosions that this energy infrastructure poses to Houston communities.
Houston is Paying the Price for Public Officials' Ignorance: Science matters. When politicians value votes and popularity over facts and truth, voters suffer.
Here are some additional environmental consequences of ignoring science:
ExxonMobil Refineries Are Damaged In Hurricane Harvey, Releasing Harmful Pollutants
Houston's Polluted SuperFund Sites Threaten to Contaminate Flood Waters
Houston drainage grid 'so obsolete it's just unbelievable'
On Government and Partisanship
We're Nowhere Near Prepared for the Ecological Disaster That Harvey Is Becoming: Unfortunately, it's not like we weren't forewarned. It's not like Houston hasn't had three "100 year floods" in the last ten years. It's not like climate scientists, engineers and city planners, activists and direct service providers haven't been telling us for decades that this is coming.
Lawyers to Harvey victims: File insurance claims before law changes Sept. 1 or risk losing money: Accounts conflict as to whether this is true or not. Lawyers and consumer advocates, however, say the new law will severely limit homeowners' ability to hold insurance companies accountable when they take months or years to pay for a claim, underpay or wrongfully deny legitimate claims. The State Senator who sponsored the bill says they're wrong.
More than 20 Texas representatives and senators voted against Sandy aid. How will they vote on Harvey? Yeah, it's a lot more complicated than this, a story of pork-barreling and partisanship and politics that had nothing to do with the suffering of hundreds of thousands in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. But the fact of the matter is that Red State elected officials are more likely to vote against government spending, all while they take in more government dollars than Blue States. We have to talk about this.
Trump obliterated Obama's flood protection standards days before Hurricane Harvey took off, and now Republicans all over social media are complaining about how terrible Obama's response was to Hurricane Katrina. (Obama wasn't president yet in 2005, remember.)
Texas' secretary of state turned down Quebec's aid offer, asked for "prayers" instead: Hoover Institution visiting fellow Markos Kounalakis told Politico, "Foreign governments are holding back, and that hasn't been the case historically. They appear to be much more cautious, whether it's for domestic political reasons or displeasure with President Trump. Do they want to be seen as helping Trump?"
Why Approving Emergency Funding For Harvey Might Not Be Easy For Congress: Trump doesn't sound worried, but emergency response legislation has become increasingly partisan in recent years, and Congress is already facing a daunting stretch of must-pass bills when it returns next week.
On How and Where We Send Relief
4 Things You(r Nonprofit) Should Know About Facebook's Donate Button: Your money may not go where you think it's going … and a friend in fundraising at the National Council on Independent Living tells me that your donation may not get to the nonprofit that needs it for 6 weeks or more, and they may have no way of knowing it came from you or giving you tax credit.
When disaster relief brings anything but relief: Houston doesn't need your winter coat that's so last season. They need your money, or the things on their Amazon WishList, or listed on their Websites. Most of all, they need money to buy exactly what's needed.
And so, without further doom and gloom, Here Are (More) Ways You Can Help People During Hurricane Harvey.

Donny Beaver is a serial entrepreneur. He co-founded New Pig in the mid-1980s–a company that absorbs anything that leaks, drips, splatters or spills. In 2001 Donny founded what would become a series of exclusive fly fishing clubs/retreat centers called the HomeWaters Club across Pennsylvania. In January 2013 he co-founded and launched HalenHardy, which solves problems for the Marcellus (and by extension construction) industry. Donny would talk to Marcellus workers who frequented his HomeWaters Club and his natural curiosity landed him in a new venture to help solve problems for the industry.
