SLEEP & INSOMNIA
This week's show is for all of you who like their sleep and also for those that have trouble sleeping, for one reason or another. Thankfully I've never been an insomniac. I hit that pillow and I'm a gonna and if you deprive me of my sleep its not safe to be around me, let me tell you.
We opened the show with the delightful Louis Jordan, who agrees with me about the value of sleep, singing A MAN'S BEST FRIEND IS A BED.
The Beatles song I'M ONLY SLEEPING is a classic and it's from, possibly, my favourite album of theirs, 'Revolver' so that had to make the mix. As did SOMEBODY'S BEEN SLEEPING from funky soul group 100 Proof (Aged in Soul). It's inspired by the fairytale Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Spiderman gets a mention on The Cure's LULLABY, the only song of theirs to make the UK top 5 (can you believe it?) but the brilliant videoclip was voted the best of the year in 1989. Well deserved too. Check it out:
Three songs about sleep deprivation followed: the Eels who portray anxiety to perfection on I NEED SOME SLEEP; Peter Wolf with SLEEPLESS from his album of the same name, released in 2002. And rounding out the triple play, Craig David who's love life is causing him to lose sleep on INSOMNIA.
Swedish band Acid House Kings do the twee-pop thing to perfection on SLEEPING. That was followed by Bobby Lewis who delivered a real blast from the past with the 60's recording of TOSSIN' AND TURNIN'. Then it was The Romantics with TALKING IN YOUR SLEEP from 1989. Viewing this clip of The Romantics, I think the 80's have a lot to answer for, when it comes to fashion and hair.
Written by Ray Davies of The Kinks, I GO TO SLEEP was originally recorded by Peggy Lee on her 1965 album Then Was Then – Now Is Now!. Davies didn't write many songs that weren't specifically for The Kinks, but this one was widely covered. We played the only version to have chart success – The Pretenders who took it to #7 in the UK.
Talking of Peggy Lee, we had to play her version of BLACK COFFEE. There are lots of great versions of this standard, but for me Peggy Lee does it best. Sorry k.d.
Jody Reynolds uses sleep as a metaphor for death on ENDLESS SLEEP and the iconic Hank Williams Snr knows that you can't sleep when you have a guilty conscience, on the country classic YOUR CHEATIN HEART.
More golden oldies with Frank Sinatra's IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING and The Four Tops with SHAKE IT, WAKE IT.
Contemporary (and Australian) singer Sarah Blasko brought us back to the present with a beautiful song on the topic of sleep: SLEEPER AWAKE. We followed that with a great suggestion from Quentin: James Kahu with SLEEP. It's from his 2010 album 'Through Me'. Take a look:
The nostalgia bug still had me on The Everly Brothers' WAKE UP LITTLE SUSIE, Berna Dean's I WALK IN MY SLEEP and Sammy Myers SLEEPING IN THE GROUND.
And it was inevitable that I would play John Lennon's little dig at Paul McCartney on HOW DO YOU SLEEP.
REM's DAYSLEEPER is not only perfect for our theme, with its references to Circadian rhythms and all, but even the name of the band is a sleep reference. Did you know that REM sleep, or Rapid eye movement sleep, accounts for 20–25% of total sleep time in most human adults? And that most of our memorable dreaming occurs in this stage? True.
Edwyn Collins contributred LOSING SLEEP from his album of the same name and then it was The Smiths with quite a sad song where, once again sleep serves as a metaphor for death. The song is ASLEEP.
Then it was even further back in time for the sublime Julie London and her version of TWO SLEEPY PEOPLE, followed by SLEEP from Little Willie John and ROCK ME TO SLEEP from Little Miss Cornshucks.
We closed the show with a couple of my favourites: First up it was Tom Waits, who probably knows more about late nights than I've had hot breakfasts. MIDNIGHT LULLABY is from his Closing Time album. Then it was the always brilliant Ian Dury & the Blockheads with WAKE UP AND MAKE LOVE TO ME. Beats sleeping every time, or so they tell me.
I'm really going out on a limb for our Easter Show. The topic is RESURRECTION. And I'm talking about dying and coming back from the grave, literally. Come on, by now you'll know that Theme Park will go where others fear to tread! Now we're not talking musical comebacks – that's a whole other theme altogether! Of course there will be lots of gospel and blues and I can see some rock and punk and even some songs about zombies on the list already. What do you have for me?

In my opinion, a 'list' song, if it's genuine, should feature at least half a dozen items. In compiling this week's playlist I didn't feel it was good enough to include songs that simply rattled off one number after another or letters of the alphabet, although place names and girl's names did get a bit of a look in. So it was a bit of a challenge, but that's what makes it so much fun.
We opened the program with the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band's spoof of band leader introductions, INTRO & OUTRO, in which each instrument is played by an unlikely public figure: "Looking very relaxed, Adolf Hitler on vibes. Nice." I couldn't find a video clip of the original song but here are the Bonzos performing a version with the cast of the pre-Python show, "Do Not Adjust Your Set", 1967-1969:
That song set a pretty high benchmark for the rest of the show. The only thing to do was to take a completely different direction and consequently it was a couple of R&B standards: Sam Cooke with WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD and The Temptations with THE WAY YOU DO THE THINGS YOU DO.
Bob Dylan's SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES is a lively example of the list song if ever there was one. I've played this before and also posted the video clip, so let's don't do that again. Instead let's have a look at feminist electro-punk trio Le Tigre, who pay tribute to dozens of female visual artists, musicians, writers, feminists and others who have inspired them, in HOT TOPIC.
Just to stir things up, we followed with UK group Pop Will Eat Itself with CAN U DIG IT. It's a list of their favourite things including disco, comic books, AC/DC and the Twilight Zone. Somehow I don't think that Le Tigre and PWEI should ever meet.
In the 40's & 50's list songs were sophisticated affairs, delivered with polite confidence. There's no better example than Sarah Vaughan singing THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. Vaughan died 10 years ago this week. Jazz commentator Scott Yanow described her as having "one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century" and I couldn't agree more.
John Lennon wasn't concerned with being polite on his 1971 recording of GIMME SOME TRUTH. In fact, just the opposite, as he expressed frustration with deceptive politicians at the time of the Vietnam War: "short-haired, yellow bellied sons of Tricky Dicky". It's from the Imagine album. Here's an extract of the documentary on the making of the album, featuring GIMME SOME TRUTH:
It's also the 10th anniversary of Ian Dury's death (on March 27th). He was a master of the 'list' song. Hard to choose, but decided to go with REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL (Part 3). If ever there was a tune that encapsulated Durie"s love for jazz, rock & vaudeville and his collaborator Chaz Jankel's love of funk, then this is it. Here's an extended version performed live in 1985.
If you are ready to ditch someone from your life, it was probably time to take a few notes from Simon & Garfunkle as they explained about the 50 WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER.
If you're looking for a female perspective on the subject then Carole Bayer Sager is your girl. She's in total control as she tells her ex-lover YOU'RE MOVING OUT TODAY. Lucinda Williams goes one step further. She's CHANGED THE LOCKS:
Two more of the great jazz and blues singers are Etta James and Nina Simone. We played James' THESE FOOLISH THINGS REMIND ME OF YOU and Simone's AIN'T GOT NO, I GOT LIFE.
LOSING MY EDGE was LCD Soundsystem's first single in 2002 and was born out of James Murphy's horror at realising that he was being branded 'cool'. It's laugh out loud funny in my books and, not to mention, has a great vinyl list to cross check your 'coolness' against:
"But have you seen my records? This Heat, Pere Ubu, Outsiders, Nation of Ulysses, Mars, The Trojans, The Black Dice, Todd Terry, the Germs, Section 25, Althea and Donna, Sexual Harrassment, a-ha, Pere Ubu, Dorothy Ashby, PIL, the Fania All-Stars, the Bar-Kays, the Human League, the Normal, Lou Reed, Scott Walker, Monks, Niagra, Joy Division, Lower 48, the Association, Sun Ra, Scientists, Royal Trux, 10cc, Eric B. and Rakim, Index, Basic Channel, Soulsonic Force ("just hit me"!), Juan Atkins, David Axelrod, Electric Prunes, Gil! Scott! Heron!, the Slits, Faust, Mantronix, Pharaoh Sanders and the Fire Engines, the Swans, the Soft Cell, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics."
Moving back in time it was Wilson Pickett with LAND OF 1,000 DANCES and a track that I held back from my HAIR show last week because it was so perfect for this theme, BALD-HEADED LENA from Piano Red, later known as Dr. Feelgood. And to round out the triple play, it was Screamin' Jay Hawkins with a recipe, which of course is nothing but a list. The song: ALLIGATOR WINE.
The Queens of the Stone Age delivered FEEL GOOD HIT OF THE SUMMER. Apart from the single word "and", their salute to stimulants is nothing but a list, performed with the enthusiasm of those who know of what they speak. Unlike myself of course. Here's the official clip with a nice piece of animation.
If you're after something a little more highbrow, and also quite funny, then you can't go past Divine Comedy with BOOKLOVERS. It lists over 70 different authors for you. Names that live forever.
Here's a beauty – Monty Python with a song that asserts that all of the great philosophers were drunks – BRUCE'S PHILOSOPHY SONG. Here they are performing at the Hollywood Bowl. Hilarious.
And now for something completely different: Antonio Carlos Jobim with Elis Regina singing the Brazilian classic AGUAS DE MARCO, an impressionistic flood of nouns representing the journey of life towards death. The title is translated as WATERS OF MARCH. Here's a link to a very good blog that will tell you more about 'Tom' Jobim and will also give you the English version of the lyrics: http://leftbankpress.blogspot.com/2006/02/aguas-de-marco-waters-of-march.html
And, from me (and YouTube, of course), a clip of the duo performing the song live:
Having put you in a Latin mood, it was time for some Latin fusion and the next number would surely have had you up and dancing. Lou Bega's MAMBO NUMBER 5. Can you believe that it was Australia's #1 single in 1999?
As we were heading towards the end of the program it was great to get my dose of Roy Orbison by including The Travelling Wilburys in the show. George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison made up the super group. Legends, one and all, they contributed an interesting little ditty called DIRTY WORLD, with Bob Dylan on lead vocals. And then it was time for two other ex-Beatles with songs about LISTS: Paul McCartney and Wings with LET EM IN and, how could we leave out John Lennon's GIVE PEACE A CHANCE?
Billy Joel defended the Baby Boomer generation with his hit WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE. As the song goes: "We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world was turning." Well, yeah, but …
We closed the show with REM's IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (AND I FEEL FINE). Inspired by Bob Dylan's SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES, the track is known for its quick flying lyrics taking the form of what appears to be a stream of consciousness. Michael Stipe says that he wrote the song after dreaming that he was at a birthday party where all the other guests had the initials L.B. hence "Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs, birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!"
And on that note it was fini. Next week the theme will be FRIENDS & NEIGHBOURS, so get your thinking caps on. And try to avoid themes for sit-coms. Yes, it's going to be harder than it looks.

Being a student is the most exciting and at the same time the most challenging thing ever. Yet, it's true what people say. Your student life is precious. You will always remember it. That's why it is important to learn as much as you can, and just to rock on while you are still in college.
Even though studying in college is always so much fun, the most favorite time for every student is a summer break. It's that great time when you don't actually have to study, but you can definitely keep the fun part going.
There is one extremely important rule to remember. Keep planning your summer break beforehand. It might feel like summer will last forever. But, if you don't plan cool stuff to do this summer, you will be singing sad songs like "Summer Moved On" by A-Ha, or Lana del Ray's "Summertime Sadness".
No wonder Instagram is filled with photos of people traveling around the world. For example, check out Instagram pages of travel blogger Leonie Hanne, or a travel photographer Vivian Hoorn. Traveling is amazing. It's a fact. If you haven't traveled anywhere yet, it's high time you change it. You will feel how great it is once you are in another country.
Plan a eurotrip, just like college graduates did in a popular American comedy movie. Talk to your friends, pick a few destinations, buy plane tickets, pack your bags and go have fun in Europe.
Go hiking to the mountains or go backpacking.
Visit a surf camp on Bali. This is something exotic, but you are a student, you are young and active, surfing can become a new religion for you. Think about it. It's an awesome idea.
Learning something new is always a great idea. For instance, you can learn a new foreign language. It's a wonderful new skill that will help you in your future and will look good on your resume when you apply for your first job after college. You can learn a new language yourself using the Internet, or sign up for some intensive summer language courses. That's also a good idea, you will learn faster and find like-minded friends.
You can also just wander around your native city and take some excursion, which I'm sure you haven't done before. Let's say, if you live in London, look for some excursions online and sign up for one. You'll be surprised how interesting it can be. It's a simple idea, but you will actually learn new facts about your favorite places. Furthermore, when your foreign friends visit you, you will be a tour guide for them.
Student life can be physically difficult. You study a lot, don't sleep enough, go to parties that last until morning, etc. To keep healthy in that kind of mode, you need to eat healthy food and do sports. Summer is the perfect time for you to get new energy after all that studying you've been doing during your college year.
This summer try either new sports, like horseback riding, or kart racing. Choose the one that suits your temper. Or just go with the usual options, like jogging or cycling. To make it more fun, set a challenge for yourself, start preparing for a running marathon or a cycling competition. This way you'll have a great motivation.
Summer is time to bond with your friends and groupmates. If you met cool people on campus, hang out with them, find out what they are like. Maybe you'll have a friend for life after college.
If you live on campus, it means you don't see your family that often. You should definitely visit your parents and relatives and make sure to spend quality time with them. They are your closest people in the world. They miss you for sure.
Another great idea is to walk alone. Who knows, maybe you will meet the love of your life while walking by yourself and enjoying new places. Or you might just find new friends who are interesting to talk to.
Volunteering is useful. Isn't it great to feel that you helped someone? Start doing important selfless deeds while you are still a student. You will be proud of yourself. You can help other people (homeless people or elderly ones), children or animals who need our care and attention. You will become a better person and bring peace and a good example to our world.
Doing volunteer work can actually count as a work experience sometimes. So, in any case, volunteering matters.
Your summer will be useful and fun this year for sure. Now you can choose what to do and how to plan your summer break. Make it fun, make it useful, make it surprising. And you will have lots of stories to tell in college after your summer break ends. Have a good time!

Cox: Jettison the monarchy and establish a parliamentary republic in Canada
It is time to take one last step and move out of our parents' basement to become a truly mature country.
May 18, 2020 • Last Updated May 19, 2020 • 3 minute read
Queen Elizabeth II delivers an address to the nation and the Commonwealth on the 75th anniversary of VE Day at Windsor Castle, May 8. Photo by Buckingham Palace /via REUTERS
Recently, Professor Philippe Lagassé reviewed the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in the "Motard" case. He wrote in the Citizen, "Canada's seven-year debate over changes to the rules of royal succession is over." Maybe not. There is more to it.
Queen Elizabeth II should be the last Queen of Canada. Canadians cannot avoid discussion about what comes next. The idea that another member of the British royal family should become the Canadian head of state is preposterous, offends our dignity and denies diversity. Canada should abolish the monarchy and become a parliamentary republic.
There are four reasons why Canada should jettison the monarchy and move on.
First, the notion of a monarchy is archaic and offensive to modern Canadian values such as freedom and diversity. Royal succession is determined by British law, which stipulates an heir must be the sovereign's eldest, Protestant child. That Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of Canada, is also Queen of Great Britain and head of the Church of England means that British law prohibits any Canadian of any non-Protestant religion from being the King or Queen of Canada. The Canadian Parliament passed the Succession to the Throne Act, 2013, assenting to amendments made to the British law of royal succession. Consequently, Canadian law also denies the unfettered right and ability of Canadians to aspire to be the Canadian head of state.
Second, Canadian constitutional monarchy is something of a myth. A 2013 Ontario Court of Appeal decision found that "although the Queen is a person, in swearing allegiance to the Queen of Canada, the would-be citizen is swearing allegiance to a symbol of our form of government." The Queen of Canada is thus merely an ephemeral, symbolic entity, not meaningfully connected to the person holding the title. Canadians should not be ruled by a ghost.
Third, there is no real requirement for a Canadian monarchy, constitutional or otherwise, or a royal family of any kind. Today, the Crown's powers are executed by the executive branch of government, accountable to Parliament. We could do away with the monarchy tomorrow and continue quite nicely under a Canadian Governor General, appointed by Parliament, to oversee a Canadian parliamentary republic.
Moreover, the Constitution Act states that the Queen is Commander-in-Chief "of the Land and Naval Militia, and of all Naval and Military Forces, of and in Canada …" However, royal Letters Patent Constituting the Office of Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada, issued by King George VI in 1947, designate the Governor General as Commander-in-Chief of Canada. Plainly, there cannot be two commanders-in-chief at the same time. The Queen is redundant.
Fourth, today, most of Canada's 38 million inhabitants no longer have close ties to, or frankly, have any interest in the British royal family. We could simply remove the Queen from our constitution and replace the notion of The Crown with the concept of the spirit of the Canadian people, to be embodied in a Canadian Governor General, appointed by Parliament, overseeing a parliamentary republic.
This argument respects Canada's history, its historical ties to the British monarchy and the current Queen of Canada, but it is the future that counts. Acknowledging our grand history is one thing. Reflecting on where we go from here is something else.
We can agree that Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of Canada, is a grand lady who has clearly done more than her fair share of royal duty. There is no need to speak ill of the royal family, or of Canadian history and heritage. We are where we are, and we should be thankful for and proud of our accomplishments. However, it is time to take one last step and move out of our parents' basement to become a truly mature Canada. When Queen Elizabeth II leaves us, we must abolish the Canadian monarchy and become a parliamentary republic, with a Canadian Governor General, appointed by Parliament, as our one true head of state.
James Cox is a former Canadian Army Brigadier-General. He holds a PhD. in War Studies from the Royal Military College of Canada and currently teaches Intelligence and Analytics in Public Safety at Wilfrid Laurier University.
Correction: Royal Letters Patent Constituting the Office of Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada, which designate the Governor General as Commander-in-Chief of Canada, were issued by King George VI in 1947. Incorrect information was contained in an earlier version.

Weserport, the joint venture of Rhenus Group and ArcelorMittal Bremen GmbH, has taken delivery of a new mobile harbour crane for handling general and project cargo at Terminal 1 in the Industriehafen.
Gottwald has previously supplied hybrid drive MHCs, but the new drive concept, first disclosed early this year incorporates Konecranes' hybrid technology, which includes a new 625 kW diesel engine in addition to ultracaps for short-term energy storage and recycling.
The drive was a highlight of the Konecranes stand at TOC Europe 2018.
Weserport Bremen is the first customer for a MHC with the new hybrid drive. Its new crane is a Model 6 in the G HMK 6507 two-rope variant, with a maximum lifting capacity of 125t and a radius of up to 51m. This capacity is more than twice that of an old portal slewing crane at the terminal, thus opening up new avenues of business.
It is mainly handling steel and breakbulk cargo at Weserport, but is also due to be used to handle heavy goods and containers in future. By using a motorised grab, it is also possible to move bulk commodities.
"The robust design and reliability, but also the price/performance ratio and the rapid availability of the newly acquired crane were persuasive arguments for us," said Heiner Delicat, managing director, Weserport. "A Gottwald crane from the previous generation at Terminal 4 has given reliable service over many years.
In its new drive concept for Gottwald MHCs, Konecranes combines, depending on the crane model, Volvo Penta 625 kW diesel engines with one or more 125 kW ultracap modules. The new concept, which includes optional SCR exhaust technology, thus meets not only US EPA Tier 4f emission standards, but also the requirements of EU Stage V.
"Giuseppe Di Lisa, sales and marketing director of Konecranes' BU MHCs, said: "After extensive and successful tests during terminal operation, we are successively introducing the new drive concept in our entire range of mobile harbour cranes.


Needed to parallelise some processing in perl the last few days, and did a quick survey of some of the parallel processing modules on CPAN, of which there is the normal bewildering diversity.
As usual, it depends exactly what you're trying to do. In my case I just needed to be able to fork a bunch of processes off, have them process some data, and hand the results back to the parent.
Object oriented wrapper around 'fork'. Supports parent callbacks. Passing data back to parent uses files, and feels a little bit clunky. Dependencies: none.
Basically a parallel version of 'map'. Dependencies: none.
Provides parallel versions of 'foreach' and 'while'. It uses 'tie' to allow shared data structures between the parent and children. Dependencies: Parallel::ForkManager.
Provides an interesting perlish forking interface using blocks. No built-in support for returning data from children, but provides examples using pipes. Dependencies: Exporter::Tidy.
Like Parallel::ForkManager, but adds better signal handling. Doesn't seem to provide built-in support for returning data from children. Dependencies: Proc::Wait3.
More complex module, loosely based on ForkManager (?). Includes better signal handling, and supports scheduling and dependencies between different groups of subprocesses. Doesn't appear to provide built-in support for passing data back from children.


Arsenal's double comeback against Manchester City on Sunday was inspired by knowing that Tottenham's position is ripe for the taking, says Jack Wilshere.
The Gunners managed two equalisers against City in Sunday's crucial battle for third position, with the point they earned putting them within three of leapfrogging bitter rivals Spurs into second, thus proving which team rules north London.
"We all knew the Spurs result [before the City game] and of course that motivates us," the midfielder, who came on as a 24th-minute substitute for the injured Danny Welbeck, told Standard Sport.
"We want to finish above them and show we are the best team in north London. We expect to win our home games so hopefully Newcastle can do us a favour.
"I saw about 10 minutes of the first half and when I turned it off it was 1-1. Obviously, then you are checking your phone in the dressing room. When we saw it finished 2-1, it gave us a real lift.
"The main thing was not to lose so it was still in our hands. After going 1-0 down and then 2-1 down, overall you would take a draw. It [Etihad Stadium] is a tough place to come and we showed good character – that's what we can take from the game.

Vigil Pays Tribute to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
October 2, 2020 Caitlyn-Rae Arendse News 0

This past weekend, several leaders across campus spoke at Albion College's American Association of University Women's (AAUW) Ruth Bader Ginsberg Candlelight Vigil.
Samantha Semerau, junior from Oakland Township, passes the vigil flame to Sheridan Leinbach, a first-year from Lansing (Photo by Peach Norman Owen).
The vigil paid tribute to the late supreme court justice, who passed away Sept. 18 from complications due to her pancreatic cancer.
Ginsberg, known as RBG, was a strong voice for women. She was known for her constant fight for women everywhere, whether it was the right to possess a credit card in their name or writing the plaintiff's brief for Reed vs. Reed on the 14th Amendment.
Zahra Ahmed, a junior from Rochester Hills, is the current president of Student Senate and a member of AAUW, had a hand in speaking at and organizing the vigil this past weekend.
"When I first heard about it, I was stunned because RBG had gone through so much, and I think we all assumed she was a powerhouse and would somehow keep going," said Ahmed. "Then, I realized the impact of it, and how it makes the upcoming election so much more important for people to vote in."
The vigil was held around the campus quad rock, where students stood around and lit candles followed by a moment of silence.

"I thought as Albion students, it was especially important for us to really reflect on what this situation means for ourselves personally, our community and the nation at large," said Ahmed.
Ahmed mentioned that it was difficult to set up the event, but she thanked AAUW President Samantha Semerau for her hard work in creating the vigil as a safe space.
"I think the hardest part was creating structure around the event to voice students' views and feelings while also allowing us to reflect on it," said Ahmed.
Ahmed said that both men and women can contribute to fulfilling RBG's efforts and that seeing her goals and accomplishments celebrated despite this difficult time is exciting.
"I think RBG's notion of both men and women contributing to bringing up the next generation applies in various fields," said Ahmed. "I think that attitude is something that people of all genders should work towards, and that will, as RBG said, lead to equality."
Ahmed went on to say that RBG has also allowed for more progression and awareness when it comes to her presidency of Student Senate.
Members of the Albion College community gathered to pay respects to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The event was co-sponsored by AAUW and Student Senate who provided candles for each participating member to hold during a time of silent reflection (Photo by Peach Norman Owen).
"We also have been doing a lot more work with being conscious of how we help students feel like they belong here. In RBG's case, she was fighting for the acknowledgement of women as individuals," said Ahmed. "Right now, there's lots of other groups of individuals who aren't seen as or don't feel like they're treated as human, so we can learn from RGB and carry on her fight for justice to other underrepresented groups."
RBG's impact on college students is not limited to Albion. Her death has sparked students from all over the country to write and speak on behalf of her eternal impact and push for change in the world of law and politics, a world once dominated by men.
"For me, reading about her work now, it seems unbelievable to me that such gender restrictions existed," said Ahmed.
Ahmed strives to push to help students become advocates for institutional change and get the better tomorrow that our country deserves in both of her roles on campus.
"RBG is an iconic leader who pushed for what she believed in, I admire her courage and strength to fight for what seemed so radical in her surroundings," said Ahmed. "She was an icon in her strength and firm belief in justice."

The world's largest Tesla coil.
Note Leyh in the sphere. http://home.sprynet.com/~mindweb/eric2.htm
pupman.com (pupman.com)
Tesla coils have always played a special role in denoting the "mad" scientist. Created by that great icon of mad science himself, Nikola Tesla, the coils have long been beloved by high-voltage hobbyists. The world's largest existing Tesla coil, however, was commissioned neither as a work of science nor as a movie prop, but as a work of art.

Known as Electrum, this four-story (38-foot) Tesla coil was commissioned by a prominent New Zealand art patron, Alan Gibbs, and set up on his farm outside of Auckland in April of 1998. Built by the late artist Eric Orr and high-voltage engineer Greg Leyh, the enormous coil puts out over 3 million volts, enough to rip electrons out of the air molecules around it.
A particular delight of Electrum is the hollow spherical cage on top of it, where Greg Leyh often sits during discharge shows. The arcs from the coil would instantly kill anyone they struck, but Leyh is safe within the Faraday cage created by the sphere. Of course, if he were to put his hand in the cage, he would be instantly electrocuted.
Though Electrum is the largest coil currently in existence, it is not the biggest ever created. That title belongs to an 18-story coil built in 1903 by Nikola Tesla himself at Wardenclyffe on Long Island. Unfortunately, it was torn down due to lack of funding before it was ever fully operational. But Leyh, the co-creator of Electrum, has plans to resurrect Tesla's dream of a giant coil — times two.
Under the project name "Lightning on Demand," or LOD, Leyh has purchased 81 acres in the Nevada desert where he plans to build twin 118-foot-tall Tesla coils, which would be big enough to generate 10-million-volt lightning arcs that would stretch across an area the size of a football field. Having built a pair of 1:12 scale (still almost 10 feet tall) coils as a proof of concept, Leyh is waiting for funding to help bring his electrical dream to life.
Other large Tesla coils currently in action include the "BIGGG" Tesla coil in Oklahoma, Big Bruiser in Wisconsin, and a pair of coils known as CAUAC that make an appearance at the annual Coachella music festival. A number of large coils can also be seen at the yearly Teslathon gatherings.

The new technique even allows pictures and movies in 3D. In the future, it might be possible to capture whole processes on film as well. At the moment, 3D-SIM is the only imaging technique that can produce multicolour 3D images of whole cells with enhancement of resolution. "It is important for researchers to note that these results were obtained with standard methods to prepare and dye the cells and their structures," stresses Leonhardt. "Also, the 3D-SIM microscope platform is not more difficult to use than conventional commercial microscopes.
The study was conducted on a prototype based on conventional microscope technology but commercial models should become available within a year. The possibility of using 3D-SIM with well-established standard labelling techniques and to simultaneously locate different molecules or structures in the three dimensional context and in multicolour will undoubtedly open interesting new perspectives for molecular cell biology and biomedical research alike.

Get information about bachelor's degree programs in medical records and their education requirements, coursework, career choices, and continuing education and certification choices.
Students enrolled in medical records bachelor's degree programs, referred to as degrees in health information administration or management, are trained in the management of electronic medical record systems. The coursework of some programs includes health informatics. These degrees are available through many schools on weekend, evening, or online formats.
Those who complete bachelor's programs in health information management become fluent in ensuring compliance with federal and state laws and improving the quality of the data entered. They may also learn about analyzing clinical data in order to evaluate the efficiency and appropriateness of services given, make mandatory reports, manage diseases, and support clinical trials.
They may perform some duties of health information technicians; for instance, they may enter health data into electronic or paper records, analyze data aimed at controlling costs and improving care, or handle coding in order to aid reimbursement.
Computer applications, physiology, math, and statistics are among the courses usually included in these four-year programs. Students learn about health management of health and clinical data, care evaluation, and classification systems. Students enrolled in most programs are required to obtain experience via clinical practice at a medical facility.
Admission criteria usually require incoming students to hold a GED certificate or a high school diploma. In some schools, students are required to complete college-level courses in physiology, anatomy, math, and statistics, in addition to an introduction to computer applications and management. Many programs include these as part of coursework rather than as prerequisites.
While certification is not compulsory, volunteering for professional certification from a certifying organization such as the American Health Information Management Association will enhance income earning potential. AHIMA offers the Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) credential, which requires re-validation every two years. There are various ways to complete the 30 continuing education units (CEUs) to re-certify; for instance, candidates can attend seminars or write items for AHIMA's certification exams.

The Patents Court hears all cases concerning patents, registered designs and plant varieties other than those heard by the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court (which hears shorter, less complex, less valuable intellectual property claims).
Most of the work of the Patents Court consists of claims and counterclaims for infringement and revocation of United Kingdom and European (UK) Patents. Although the Patents Court hears cases involving all fields of technology, the most common technical fields are pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and telecommunications. The most technically complex cases are heard by two judges who have science degrees and have specialised in intellectual property litigation throughout their careers. They are assisted by a small number of other assigned judges.
Procedure in the Patents Court is governed by CPR Part 63 and Practice Direction 63 and is described in the Patents Court Guide.

Q: Getting top n to n rows from db2 I need to split a huge table in to chunks.
Fetching data from DB2 and processing in SSIS

iteration 1 : Get first 10 rows and process it
iteration 2 : Get next 10 rows(11-20) and process it
iteration 3 : Get next 10 rows(21-30) and process it

and so on till count(*) of a table
Is it possible to get top n to n rows from db2
im looking for a query like below,

select * from from tablename fetch 10 to 20 rows

A: Use OFFSET x FETCH FIRST y ROWS ONLY option to read data by chunk
To benefit from this method in SSIS, you should follow these steps:

*

*Add Execute SQL Task to get the rows count and store it into a variable.

*Add a Forloop container to loop over a range of numbers until reaching the row count

*Inside the Forloop container, add a Data Flow Task that contains an OLEDB Source or ODBC and OLEDB Destination

*In OLEDB/ODBC Source, Set the Access mode to SQL Command and define an epxression similar to:
"SELECT * FROM MYTABLE ORDER BY ID_COLUMN
OFFSET " + (DT_WSTR,50)@[User::IncrementValue] + "
FETCH FIRST " + (DT_WSTR,50)@[User::IncrementValue] + " ROWS ONLY"

The following answer is a step by step guide to load data by chunks from SQLite, you can follow it just change the SQL Command syntax as mentioned:

*

*Reading Huge volume of data from Sqlite to SQL Server fails at pre-execute
References

*

*SQL Paging With Limit And Offset In DB2 For i

*Using the OFFSET clause with a cursor

*DB2 Using LIMIT and OFFSET

*
Paging through result sets using LIMIT and OFFSET or ROWNUM

A: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.ref.doc/doc/r0061832.html
db2 "select row_number() over(order by tabschema, tabname)
,    tabschema::char(10), tabname::char(30)
from syscat.tables
order by tabschema, tabname
offset 10 rows
fetch first 10 rows only"

If you want to experience the authentic "Kaaram" (spicy) taste that a non-vegetarian Tamilian dishes are known for, then this dish – Kathirikai Kari Kozhambhu (Brinjal Mutton Gravy) is the right one to start with. The original recipe calls in for a fiery hot gravy which is sure to set the tongue on fire. I have modified it to my palate. If you wish, you could increase the spice level. The bony and fleshy meat pieces were steam cooked with the spongy brinjals/eggplants, tomatoes and onions sauteed with the home grown Indian spices. The finely cooked brinjal adds a great volume to the dish and makes it thick and creamy. They taste heavenly and irresistible with rice/ rotis / bread.
My gravy was a true hit in every way and S loved it so much. They tasted so similar to my achi's version and I am really proud about that. The taste was so authentic that it reminded me of my grandparent's rural Tamil Nadu, where the houses have small chimneys letting out aromatic smoke of charcoal and flavorful curries and we would smell the dishes while playing in the backyard. Every Sunday of our summer vacation would begin with Kari Kuruma (Mutton Curry) to go with idly/dosa and then Aatu Kal Rasam (Mutton soup with bony pieces) as a mid-morning appetizer and delicious Mutton briyani and left over kurma for lunch.
As I slide-in a spoonful into my mouth, I was mesmerized with those thoughts , I could feel the smell of that air and I could hear the bustling sounds of my playmates and it was a trip down the memory lane. I relished every morsel and it was a hearty meal. We ate that with whole wheat bread the following day. We couldn't get enough of it! Yummy!
Heat the oil in a pan. Once they get heated up, add the onions and let it sweat. Cook for 5-8 minutes and let it brown. Now add the green chillies and ginger-garlic paste and cook for further 2 minutes.
Now throw in the brinjal and tomatoes and let it soften for 3-5 minutes. Cook them all on medium high. Once done, add the mutton chunks and saute for a minute.
Finally sprinkle the turmeric powder, chilli powder and coriander powder and cook till the raw smell disappears. Pour in 600 ml water and give it complete mix. Adjust the water requirement according to the amount of gravy needed. Add the salt, garam masala and coriander leaves and mix well. Check for taste before closing the pan. Cook for 7-8 whistles.
Serve hot with steamy rice. They can be served for breakfast with idly/dosa too.
Note: If the gravy is too thick add little hot water to dilute them.
If it is too watery, dissolve 1/2tbs corn flour in 1 tbs water and add to the hot gravy while on flame. This will thicken the gravy well. Adjust the spice level accordingly. I usually heat oil in a small pan and add 2-3 tsp chilli powder and cook for couple of minutes to get rid of the raw smell and pour over the cooking gravy.
mmm..ive heard a lot about this when i was in chennai. Looks delicious!
Mutton Curry looks so yummy !!! The combo sounds interesting…May be i shud try this next time when i get hold of some mutton..

A day in Odessa: hanging in my great-grandfather's hometown
Posted on October 2, 2013 by H-Bomb
My great-grandfather, Hyman Manoff, was born in 1884 in Odessa, in what's now the Ukraine. This past May, I got a glimpse into my heritage by spending a day in my great-grandpa's hometown.
Hyman Manoff was my maternal grandfather's father, and I was sort of named after him. (My parents bestowed on me the Hebrew name of Chayim, which derives directly from my great-granddad's first name; they then chose the relatively similar moniker of Harvey for the English-language name on my birth certificate.) At some point, Hyman married a woman named Sadie who came from the small Ukrainian village of Shpola. In 1905 he left Odessa and emigrated to the United States; he settled in Philadelphia, where he worked as an upholsterer. (I'm not sure whether Hyman married Sadie before or after his crossing of the Atlantic.) Hyman and Sadie had three children including a son Joseph, whose daughter Arlene would become my mother. And I've now pretty much exhausted the extent of what I know about Hyman Manoff's life. He died in 1959, more than a decade before I was born, and I don't even know what he looked like.
In May 2013, during my visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, I took a day-trip to Odessa. (I flew there from Kiev; the flight was about an hour long.) For several hours, I was privileged to wander some of the very streets that my ancestor must once have trod, and to gaze upon buildings and monuments that would have been familiar to him more than a century ago.
Odessa is a metropolis of just over 1 million inhabitants, making it the third-largest city by population in the Ukraine. My self-guided walking tour of the city began at a really long stairway.
The Potemkin Stairs
The most celebrated symbol of Odessa isn't a building, but a staircase: the Primorsky Stairs, popularly known as the Potemkin Stairs. Rising up from the harbour to the plateau on which Odessa's historic downtown rests, this assemblage of 192 stairs and 10 landings measures 466 feet in length. It widens as you descend; the topmost step is 41 feet wide, while the bottom step is nearly 71 feet in width. These stairs were constructed between 1837 and 1841. Here's the view looking down the Potemkin Stairs towards the Black Sea:
Looking down the Potemkin Stairs from the top.
And here's the opposite perspective, gazing up the Potemkin Stairs from somewhere just above their base:
Looking up the Potemkin Stairs from one of the lower steps.
These stairs appeared in a famous scene in Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 silent film, The Battleship Potemkin. As you can see from the above photos, viewing the Potemkin stairs involves an optical illusion: if you look down them from above you'll see only the landings, while the steps will be invisible to you; but if you look up them from below, you'll see only the steps, and the landings will be invisible to you.
Just to the side of the Potemkin Stairs, I noticed some ruins that have an ancient appearance about them:
Ancient-looking ruins to the side of the Potemkin Stairs.
I know that Odessa originated as a colony of ancient Greece, but I have no idea whether these ruins date back anywhere near that far. Although I did some research after my trip, I've been unable to ascertain what structure this heap of bricks used to be. If you have any idea, please let me know!
At the top of the stairs
At the top of the Potemkin Stairs (and visible to you as you're climbing them) is a statue of Duc de Richelieu, who served as the first mayor of Odessa. (His full name was Armand Emmanuel Sophie Septimanie de Vignerot du Plessis, 5th Duke of Richelieu. That guy sounds like the French equivalent of Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo. 🙂 ) Fashioned from bronze, the monument to that unwieldily named nobleman was erected in 1828.
The statue of the Duc de Richelieu, the first mayor of Odessa, near the top of the Potemkin Stairs.
If you walk past the statue of the Duke and continue further away from the Potemkin Stairs, you'll reach St. Catherine's Square (Ekaterinenskaya Square), featuring a statue of Catherine the Great. Empress of Russia from 1762 to 1796, Catherine the Great issued the 1794 decree that founded the city of Odessa. Her statue was originally installed in 1900. However, in 1920, it was dismantled by the Bolsheviks and replaced by a monument to Karl Marx. The Marx statue is now long gone; reportedly it was destroyed by a strong wind. Apparently, like the man himself, Marx's statue was on the wrong side of history! The memorial to Catherine was rebuilt on the same site in 2007; and the new version was designed, with the help of old photographs, to exactly replicate the original. Thus, while it's not the same statue of Catherine that was in place in the early 20th century, it looks the same as the first statue would have appeared to my great-grandfather.
St. Catherine's Square featuring the recently reconstructed statue of Catherine the Great.
After paying your respects to Catherine the Great, if you circle back to the Duc de Richelieu statue, you can turn onto Primorsky Boulevard, a broad tree-lined avenue that juts off in either direction from the Duke's statue. Prior to the Russian Revolution of 1917, this street bore the name Nikolaevsky Boulevard, in honour of Tsar Nicholas (Nikolai) II. That's the name by which my great-grandfather would have known this street for at least part of his life. (Nicholas II assumed the throne in 1896. I'm not sure what the boulevard might have been called prior to his coronation — or whether it even existed before 1896.)
Among the elegant buildings on Primorsky Boulevard is the oldest hotel in Odessa: the Londonskaya, which opened in 1846.
The Londonskaya, a grand hotel near the top of the Potemkin Stairs, is over 160 years old.
The most iconic building in Odessa, and one whose silhouette rivals the Potemkin Stairs as the most recognizable shape in the city, is the Odessa Opera and Ballet Theatre (officially titled the Odessa National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet). The original theatre on the site was constructed in 1801, but burned down in 1873. The current edifice was built in 1887, and is an outstanding example of Vienna Baroque architecture:
The Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater features gorgeous Baroque architecture.
The address of this theatre is 1 Tchaikovsky Drive, which I think is pretty cool.
Deribasovskaya Street
If you walk from Primorsky Boulevard to the theatre and then continue just a bit further, you'll reach Deribasovskaya Street, a pedestrian-only cobblestone thoroughfare that's sort of the principal street of downtown Odessa. Lined with shops and restaurants, Deribasovskaya is great for people-watching. Here's an image of that street:
A view of Deribasovskaya Street.
Our next photo shows a building on Deribasovskaya Street that I really liked. I have no idea what it is, but it sure looks distinctive:
A building whose look I found pleasing, on Deribasovskaya Street.
Amid the bustle of Odessa's downtown, just off Deribasovskaya Street, you'll find an oasis of green: a public park called the City Garden. Here are a couple of glimpses inside that park:
A fountain and gazebo in the City Garden.
Another perspective on the City Garden.
On the opposite side on Deribasovskaya Street from the City Garden is a spectacular indoor space: the Passage (pronounced "pa-SAHJ" by locals with whom I spoke). At the heart of the Passage is a grand L-shaped corridor, flanked by shops, with a glass roof high overhead. The building also contains a hotel. Like the Opera and Ballet Theatre, the Passage is a 19th-century building with a Baroque design. Adorning its central corridor are numerous sculptures in the classical style.
The stunning interior of the Passage.
The entrances to the Passage are unassuming for such a grand structure, although they still contain some intricate detailing:
One of the entrances to the Passage.
The next landmark on my agenda was by far the newest of any of the buildings I saw in Odessa: the Orthodox Cathedral, also known as the Transfiguration Cathedral. It was actually dedicated quite recently, in 2003. (The earliest church on the site was built in 1808, and was expanded and rebuilt a number of times, but was ultimately destroyed by the Soviets in 1936. At its peak in the early 20th century, the predecessor cathedral was the largest church in the Russian Empire and could accommodate 9,000 worshippers. I haven't found a reliable source that indicates the capacity of the current incarnation of the church.)
The Odessa Orthodox Cathedral.
Two other buildings that I wish to point out
Here's an establishment that probably wasn't around in my great-grandfather's day:
I found this karaoke venue in downtown Odessa!
It's a karaoke bar! I just happened to stumble upon it while strolling around the city. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to sing inside, as my excursion to Odessa was confined to the afternoon hours, and I was informed that the karaoke in this establishment wouldn't get underway until the evening. But this just goes to show how skilled I am at conducting my World Karaoke Tour; in just about any city I go to, I can find karaoke bars without even trying! 🙂 And I did still get to sing in the Ukraine, by virtue of my karaoke appearance in Kiev. So it's all good. 🙂
Before we depart from downtown Odessa, I feel compelled to share with you one other edifice that caught my eye. It's another example of how even some of the most random buildings in this architecturally-rich city are visually arresting.
This is an unidentified Odessan building that I enjoyed looking at.
Arcadia Beach
Odessa is situated on the Black Sea, and as such, one of the most poular recreational outlets for its inhabitants is its beaches. Probably the most prominent of those is Arcadia Beach. With my time in Odessa winding down, I jumped in a taxi to head over to that particular stretch of seashore.
There's more to Arcadia Beach than just sand and sea; a resort community has sprung up around it, and it abounds with trendy nightspots. To reach the actual beach, you stroll along a promenade.
A broad, paved walkway serves as the approach to Arcadia Beach.
Like any good resort area, Arcadia Beach offers the opportunity to ride bumper cars! There's not a full-fledged amusement park like you'll find at some seaside piers; as far as I could tell, the dodgems were the only ride available. But what else do you need? 🙂
Like any good seaside resort, Arcadia Beach offers bumper cars.
As you can see, these bumper cars have met a better fate than their counterparts in the Ukrainian town of Pripyat.
And here's what the beach itself looks like:
At Arcadia Beach, looking towards the sea.
That's the Black Sea in the background!
I could easily have spent much more time in Odessa; it's a charming city whose buildings and other features are pleasant to look at. And of course, while I always enjoy discovering a city that I'm visiting for the first time, my introduction to Odessa had special meaning for me.
Did Hyman Manoff run up and down the Potemkin Stairs, Rocky-style? Did he attend any performances in the Ballet and Opera Theatre? Did he take a meal inside the Londonskaya Hotel? Did he go to Arcadia Beach on a hot day and swim in the Black Sea? I don't know the answers to these questions, but it's fun to imagine him doing those things. What I do know is that, 129 years after his birth, I saw the town where he was born and raised. In so doing, I learned a little more about where I came from.
This is a registration card for the military draft that my great-grandfather filled out in 1918, during World War I. This document was found via ancestry.com.
Would you like to explore the places where your ancestors lived?

Excellent post! Knew them as the Odessa Steps. Saw Potemkin a long time ago, but it was a brilliant film for the silent era for sure!
@Toemailer: Thanks! Yes, the Eisenstein film was amazing.
Jess @UsedYorkCity
How special to be able to retrace his footsteps! And I was not at all surprised that you were able to find a karaoke bar there;-)
@Jess: It's just too bad that I wasn't able to sing at the karaoke bar I found there. 🙂
And it was pretty awesome to think that I was retracing some of my ancestor's footsteps.


Will we ever find a way across the great divide?
June 2014 © Ellen Stapenhorst Thank you, Constantin!
Will you tell me something, will you stay awhile?
I think she's broke down and stalled in Grand Junction….
If not you, if not me, who will it be?
Is this as true for my grandchildren's children as it is today?
Who's to say when I've stood enough?
Written in the fall of 2002 in Paonia, Colorado, after a blazing summer of fires….the first blessed rain. A couple of years earlier, at a rain dance in southern Colorado, the Hopi Elders told us that if the Creator answered our prayers and sent us rain, we should not cover our heads—that would be putting a barrier between us and the gifts of the Creator. It poured that day.
What has this fighting been for?
Can you forgive me, can I forgive myself?

FSC Żuk (polnisch: "Käfer") ist die Typenbezeichnung verschiedener polnischer Kleintransporter, die vom 24. Juni 1959 bis zum 13. Februar 1998 beim polnischen Hersteller Fabryka Samochodów Ciężarowych (kurz: FSC) in Lublin produziert wurden.

Neben Lieferwagen und Kleinbussen wurden zeitweise auch Feuerlöschfahrzeuge produziert. Der Hersteller verwendete Fahrzeuggestelle des LKW-Herstellers FSC Lublin, allerdings meist mit anderer Motorisierung. Teilweise wurden auch sowjetische Fahrzeuge in Lizenzbauweise produziert.

Der Żuk basierte im Wesentlichen auf dem Warszawa M 20, ebenso wie der Kleintransporter ZSD Nysa. Durch die gemeinsam verwendete Fahrzeugbasis konnten die Fahrzeuge preiswert hergestellt werden und waren in Polen beliebt.

Technik
Der Żuk-Kleintransporter basierte auf einem verstärkten Fahrgestell des Warszawa M 20. Als Aufbau war zunächst die Pritsche erhältlich, die anfangs einen eigenwilligen Stahlaufbau in Pick-up-Form aufwies. Die Nutzlast betrug etwa 0,9 Tonnen.

Die Fahrzeuge verfügten über eine recht große Bodenfreiheit, dies wurde jedoch mit einem hohen Schwerpunkt erkauft. Nachteilig waren ferner die minderwertige Verarbeitung, unter anderem bei der Vorderradaufhängung, und der geringe Radabstand. Das Triebwerk wurde ebenfalls vom Warszawa M 20 übernommen – ein Vierzylinder-Ottomotor mit OHV-Ventilsteuerung. Mit 54, später 70 PS war der ZUK für einen Kleintransporter damaliger Verhältnisse überdurchschnittlich motorisiert. Der Spritverbrauch war jedoch ebenfalls sehr hoch, der "Reiseverbrauch" des 54 PS-Aggregats wurde mit 15–19 l/100 km angegeben. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit betrug beim Modell A 03 (offenbar der Vorgänger des A 05/ A 06) 90 km/h.

In späteren Jahren wurde auf einen Vierzylinder-Dieselmotor mit 2417 cm³ Hubraum umgestellt, der bei geringerem Spritverbrauch dieselbe Leistung entwickelte. Die interne Bezeichnung des von W.S.W.-Motorenwerke Andoria gelieferten Aggregats lautete 4C90. Mit der erneuten Zusammenarbeit zwischen Fiat und zwei polnischen Fahrzeugherstellern (siehe auch Polski Fiat und FSO) fanden auch Bauteile des Polski Fiat 125p Verwendung. Gespräche mit General Motors im Jahre 1976 mit dem Ziel, ein neues Fahrzeug als Ersatz für die veralteten Modelle in Lizenz bauen zu können, scheiterten. Spätere Fahrzeuge ab 1977 hatten deshalb lediglich eine größere Fahrerkabine für sechs Personen und eine kleinere Ladefläche und wurden für den polnischen Markt bis zum Ende des Unternehmens weiter gefertigt.

Wichtige Exportfahrzeuge

In der DDR kamen hauptsächlich drei Fahrzeuge des Herstellers zum Einsatz:
 1966 – Modell A 06 (Liefer-/ Kastenwagen); bei der Typbezeichnung "06" handelt es sich offenbar um Exportfahrzeuge der offiziellen Version A 05; Nutzlast: 850 kg; In der deutschen Literatur wird als Produktionsjahr 1965 angegeben, in diesem Jahr wurde das Fahrzeug auf der XXXIV. Internationalen Messe in Posen vorgestellt; ein Jahr später begann die Serienproduktion
 1970 – Modell A 07 (Kombifahrzeug für den Personentransport, hoher Exportanteil in sozialistische Länder); in der DDR u. a. zum Truppentransport bei der NVA verwendet; für sieben Personen zuzüglich 350 kg Gepäck
 1967 – Modell A 11 (Kastenwagen mit getrennter Fahrerkabine und einem hölzernen Aufbau); für 950 kg Zuladung
 1976 bis 1980 – Die DDR importierte nochmals etwa 6000 Żuk-Transporter zur Milderung des akuten Fahrzeugdefizites in dieser Fahrzeugklasse. Es handelt sich um das Modell A 16B, das in der Niederlassung in Węgrów ab 1976 gefertigt wurde. Es hatte eine Anhängerkupplung für Anhänger mit einem Gewicht bis 725 kg.

Das Ende der Marke Żuk
Nach dem Zusammenbruch der polnischen Volkswirtschaft konnte sich das Unternehmen gegen die übermächtige ausländische Konkurrenz nicht dauerhaft durchsetzen. Das Konzept, Fahrzeuge preisgünstig auf der Basis etablierter Standardkonzepte zu bauen, wurde vom Markt nicht mehr angenommen. Eines der letzten Fahrzeuge, das Schienenfahrzeug Mitor-01 auf der Basis eines Kleinbusses für den Straßenverkehr (Prototyp 1995, letzte Testfahrten im Jahr 2000), kam über das Versuchsstadium nicht hinaus.

Bis zu seinem vorläufigen Ende im Frühjahr 2007 baute der Hersteller FSC im Rahmen eines Joint-Venture-Unternehmens und anderen Kooperationen mehrere eigene Autos und Modelle anderer Hersteller. Die Marke Żuk wurde aber nicht mehr wiederbelebt. Als Nachfolger der Żuk-Fahrzeuge sollte der Daewoo Lublin etabliert werden.

:) Thank you. I love that show.
And thanks for adding me back. I figured you either a) thought you already had, or b) wanted to keep your DW journal private. Didn't want to bug you about it in case b) was the reason.
Nah. If I did anything on DW, it was more by accident as I fumbled around.
blueraccoon just explained to me how to crosspost, so I think I shall start doing that--it seems like a rational step toward shifting over to DW.


After a decade of scattered web sites, inconsistent branding, and little governance, the organization redesigned its web presence and assigned content publishing to the business units.
Yet, without policies in place to ensure digital integrity across its 50 markets, stakeholders feared the web presence they'd just invested so much it could go back to being an unruly mess or even get them into legal trouble.
The relative few regulatory and legal requirements on the oil and gas industry.
Joint ventures in many countries that could minimize risk to the parent company.
The fact that the company doesn't market or sell to consumers.
Varying levels of digital savvy and capacity from country to country.
Together, we developed a comprehensive set of 23 policies that fit the organization globally and could be localized to individual markets.
They also chose to accept a handful of risks, but the business was aware of and prepared for them. For example, instead of spending money to meet accessibility requirements in the US, UK, and Israel, the B2B organization decided to save it for a potential fine or lawsuit. They also decided two countries' small, less-technical teams only needed to follow a handful of key brand and content policies.
In just five weeks, the organization was left with a clear view of its risks around the globe; actionable, practical plans to mitigate them; and a framework to secure their digital investment for the future.

Home Business Investments VRA happy with work on 17-megawatt solar power project
VRA happy with work on 17-megawatt solar power project
Volta River Authority Vra
Mr Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Volta River Authority (VRA), has expressed satisfaction with the progress of work on the 17-megawatt solar project in the Upper West Region.
He commended the contractor in charge of the project, who according to him paid attention to the operational and construction practices of the project.
Mr Antwi-Darkwa was speaking to the media at Lawra during a visit to the project site to inspect the progress of work and to assess challenges of project execution for redress.
President Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo-Addo this year, cut the sod for the construction of the 17-megawatt solar project in the Upper West Region.
The project 13 megawatts is at Kaleo in the Nadowli/Kaleo District and four Megawatt at Lawra in the Lawra Municipality.
"The project has been well executed from the design phase to the construction. I think it's a great project. There is great attention to details as far as the operational and construction practices are concerned. I think, all in all, I will congratulate the contractor for good work done," the VRA CEO said.
Mr Antwi-Darkwa noted that the project could not be completed within six months as scheduled due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the country.
He explained that the project formed part of the government's climate agenda to reduce the carbon effect.
"The more renewable energy you develop the more improvement you get in the carbon footprint as you are not generating energy from fossil fuel," he said.
Mr Antwi-Darkwa said the project would provide an opportunity for a large scale utility project in the area. He said it would also bring opportunities, including job opportunities for both skilled and unskilled labour.
Mr Isaac Badu, the Project Manager for the VRA, said the capacity of the 4-megawatt solar project at Lawra was increased to 6.5 megawatts at no cost to the government.
He said the project was about 80 per cent complete and expressed the hope that it would be commissioned before November 2020.
"It is another source of power generation for us. So it has come to augment whatever power supply we have," Mr Osman Oludiba Awuba, the Managing Director (MD) for the Northern Electricity Distribution Company Limited (NEDCO), said.

The Ghana news Agency (GNA) was established on March 5, 1957, i.e. on the eve of Ghana's independence and charged with the "dissemination of truthful unbiased news". It was the first news agency to be established in Sub-Saharan Africa. GNA was part of a comprehensive communication policy that sought to harness the information arm of the state to build a viable, united and cohesive nation-state. GNA has therefore been operating in the unique role of mobilizing the citizens for nation building, economic and social development, national unity and integration.

Sunset Beach Park is located in the land division of Paumalu. A legend explaining the name tells the story of a woman who was known for her ability to catch octopus. Asked by a chief to go to a particular reef in Paumalu, she was met on the beach by an old man. He told her that there was a catch limit at this reef, and that she must not exceed it. The woman agreed, but once in the water she disregarded the warning. Suddenly, a large shark appeared and attacked her, taking off both her legs. Later, when her body was examined, the people saw the marks left by the shark's teeth. They knew that she had been punished by the guardian of the reef. Alter the incident, the area was named Paumalu, "taken by surprise."
The name Sunset Beach emerged in the1920s when the undeveloped shore from Paumalu to Pupukea was subdivided into beach lots and offered for sale as the Pupukea-Paumalu Beach Tract. The two-mile tract included all of the beachfront property from Sunset Point to Pupukea Beach Park and was promoted as the Sunset Tract for the area's spectacular sunsets. The name Sunset Beach evolved from the promotion.
Sunset, the surf site, is at the east end of the beach and one of the most famous surfing spots in the world. Home to several internationally renowned contests, including the Triple Crown of Surfing since 1983, it was first surfed during the late 1940s when local surfers from Waikiki began exploring the rest of the island. In the 1950s Sunset was discovered by California surfers and featured in all of their early surfing movies, imprinting it permanently on the international surfing map.
Sunset has some of the most spectacular winter surf found anywhere in the world. Outside peaks are mountainous, steep, and shifty, often reaching heights of twenty feet or more. Inside walls are thick, hollow, and powerful, often breaking bones and boards. Sunset is famous for its rip, the river-like current that flows into Kammieland, the next surf site to the west. The Sunset rip runs on every big swell and is the site of many rescues.
Sunset Beach Park, the narrow, undeveloped 18-acre park between Sunset's 200-foot-wide beach and Kamehameha Highway, has room only for roadside parking. To add facilities to the beach park, the City and County of Honolulu purchased two acres across the highway and built Sunset Beach Support Park in 1998 which includes restrooms, showers, and additional parking.

This is a historically significant album by this very short-lived group. Like a meteor that streaked by too fast, the New York Contemporary Five were one radical group. Tenor saxophone strongman Archie Shepp was always sticking his neck out, often over the cutting edge so when Shepp, Cherry and Tchicai met up with bassist Don Moore and drummer J.C. Moses, the writing was on the wall: free jazz. In no time at all, the NYC5 took to the studio and the stage, looking to challenge and bewilder anyone who happened to be present and everyone's sense of possibility was suddenly at a new level.
