The treatments in a 3*3 Latin square arrangement, with 3 goats and 3 periods each of 10 days, were three levels of water spinach fed as supplements to a basal diet of fresh cassava foliage. The levels were: WS0, only cassava foliage; WS1, Water spinach at 10 g DM per kg live weight plus free access to cassava foliage; WS2, Same as WS1 but with water spinach at 20 g DM per kg live weight. Both the cassava foliage (offered ad libitum) and the water spinach were suspended in bunches hung from the top of the cage.
Urinary output increased linearly with degree of supplementation of water spinach and was three times greater on the WS2 diet compared with the control. Dry matter and N intake was increased linearly by supplementation with water spinach. The WS2 treatment resulted in water spinach providing 40% of the total diet DM, with double the overall feed intake compared with cassava alone. The effect of the water spinach was additive in that the intake of cassava in diets WS1 and WS2 was maintained at about the same level as in the cassava alone (WS0). Supplementing the cassava foliage with water spinach increased digestibility of DM and crude fibre. There were no differences between the two levels of water spinach. N intakes did not differ between the two diets containing water spinach, both of which were higher than on the control (WS0) diet of cassava alone. Faecal and urine N were higher for the WS2 diet than for the WS0 and WS1 diets. The 50% higher intake of N on the diet with 40% water spinach was offset by the 300% greater N excretion in the urine, with the result that N retention was less with 40% than with 26% or 0% water spinach in the diet.
Offering fresh water spinach at levels of 10 and 20 g DM per 1 kg live weight to goats having free access to fresh cassava foliage: did not affect intake of the cassava with the result that total DM intake increased by 33 and 60%, respectively; increased digestibility of DM and crude fibre; increased the rate of excretion of urine by factors of 1.7 and 3.2 compared with the control diet of cassava without water spinach. Increasing the level of water spinach from 26 to 40% of the diet DM increased DM intake by 25% but reduced N retention by 50%.
The first report of successful use of fresh cassava foliage for ruminants was by Ffoulkes and Preston (1978). They fed the fresh foliage as the sole supplement to a basal diet of a liquid mixture of molasses and urea for fattening cattle. Growth rates were over 800 g/day and were not improved by feeding additional soya bean meal. More recently, Ho Quang Do et (2002) reported a curvilinear increase in feed intake and N retention in goats when fresh cassava leaves replaced grass as the supplement to untreated rice straw. Higher growth rates and reduced nematode infestation in goats, when cassava foliage rather than grass, was used to supplement brewers' grains were recorded by Seng Sokerya and Rodríguez (2003). Mom Seng et al (2001) observed increases in growth rate from 53 to 210 g/day, when fresh cassava foliage was fed to "Yellow" cattle on a basal diet of untreated rice straw.
In all the above reports the cassava foliage was fed as a supplement usually not exceeding 30% of the diet DM. Fresh cassava foliage was fed as the sole diet to goats by Theng Kouch et al (2003) but DM intakes and N retention were lower than on mulberry foliage even though DM digestibility was similar. The presence of cyanogenic glucosides and tannins could be the limiting factors to growth when fresh cassava is the sole component of the diet. In this case, improved performance could be expected by combining the cassava foliage with a feed containing low or zero content of these compounds. Working with pigs, fed a low-protein basal diet of broken rice, Chhay Ty and Preston (2005).showed that partial replacement (up to 50%) of cassava leaves by water spinach increased the DM intake and growth rate. Similar responses were observed at lower levels of replacement of 20 and 30% of cassava foliage by water spinach (Chhay Ty and Preston (2006).
The objective of the present study was to investigate the responses in goats when water spinach was offered as partial replacement of cassava foliage fed as the basal diet. The hypothesis was that feed intake and N retention would be improved when the cassava foliage was partially replaced by water spinach.
The experiment was carried out at the Livestock Research Center (Nam Xuang village) of NAFRI, situated some 40 km from the capital city, Vientiane.
WS2: Same as WS1 but with water spinach at 20 g DM per kg live weight.
The experimental design was 3*3 Latin square arrangement with 3 goats and 3 periods each of 10 days (Table 1).
The goats had initial live weights of 10.8, 10.9 and 11.9 kg. They were confined in wooden cages designed to facilitate separate collection of faeces and urine. The cassava foliage and water spinach were harvested from plots in the Livestock Research Centre. Cassava foliage was offered at 120% of recorded intake, with fresh quantities being provided 3 times per day. Samples of cassava foliage and water spinach were separated into leaves, petioles (for the cassava) and stems. Both the cassava foliage and the water spinach were suspended in bunches hung from the top of the cage (Photo 1). Fresh water was freely available.
The goats were weighed at the beginning of each period. Feeds offered and refused were recorded and separated into component parts (leaves, petioles and stems). Urine and faeces were collected daily during the last 5 days of each period. The samples of feed offered and refused, urine and faeces were stored in a refrigerator; thereafter, all samples were mixed and representative amounts analyzed for N, ash and crude fibre by procedures of AOAC (1990). DM was estimated by micro-wave radiation (Undersander et al 1993).
The data were analysed using the GLM option of the ANOVA program in Minitab (2000) software (Minitab release 13.3). Sources of variation were treatments, animals, periods and error.
The crude protein content was higher in the leaves of cassava than in those of water spinach (Table 2).
The appearance of the urine differed according to the degree of supplementation with water spinach (Photo 2). This probably reflected the greater dilution of major urinary metabolites arising from degradation of the phenolic compounds (tannins) present in the cassava foliage. Murdiati et al (2005) reported that the major urinary metabolites in sheep dosed with the hydrolysable tannin from Terminalia oblongata arose from the decarboxylation and reductive dehydroxylation of phenolics in the rumen, with the excretion of resorcinol glucuronide and the glucuronide of 2-carboxy-2'4'4,6,-tetrahydroxy diphenyl 2, 2'-lactone metabolites in the urine.
Urinary output increased linearly with degree of supplementation of water spinach and was three times greater on the diet with 40% of water spinach compared with the control (Figure 1). Similar increases in urine volume from feeding water spinach to goats were reported by Pheng Buntha and Preston (2006).
Dry matter and N intakes were increased linearly by supplementation with water spinach (Table 3; Figures 2 and 3). The WS2 treatment resulted in water spinach providing 40% of the total diet DM, with double the overall feed intake compared with cassava alone. The effect of the water spinach was additive in that the intake of cassava in diets WS1 and WS2 was maintained at about the same level as in the cassava alone (WS0). Low feed intake by goats fed cassava foliage as the sole diet was also observed by Pheng Buntha and Chhay Ty (2006). Low palatability of foliages with high levels of tannins, as is the case in cassava (Wanapat et al 1997), has been ascribed to the astringent nature of tannins, and that this could be counteracted by supplementing with forages with high affinity for tannins (Reed et al 1982). This could explain the beneficial effects of supplementing the cassava with the water spinach.
Supplementing the cassava foliage with water spinach increased digestibility of DM and crude fibre (Table 4 and Figure 4). There were no differences between the two levels of water spinach. Tannins have been shown to depress digestibility of forages (Reed et al (1982; Murdiati et al 2005) thus the positive effects on DM and crude fibre digestibility may have been the result of the protein in the water spinach forming complexes with the tannins in the cassava, thus neutralising their otherwise negative effects on DM and fibre digestion.
N intakes did not differ between the two diets containing water spinach, both of which were higher than on the control (WS0) diet of cassava alone (Table 5; Figure 5). Faecal and urine N were higher for the WS2 diet than for the WS0 and WS1 diets. The 50% higher intake of N on the diet with 40% water spinach was offset by the 300% greater N excretion in the urine, with the result that N retention was less with 40% than with 26% or 0% water spinach in the diet. The inefficient utilization of the nitrogen in water spinach is apparent when data for DM intake are compared with those for N retention. DM intake increased by 25% when the water spinach proportion in the diets was raised from 26 to 40%, yet N retention was reduced by 50%. The implication from this finding is that the excretion of the excess N on the highest level of water spinach required additional expenditure of energy with the result that less energy was available for protein synthesis.
Did not affect intake of the cassava with the result that total DM intake increased by 33 and 60%, respectively.
Increasing the level of water spinach from 26 to 40% of the diet DM increased DM intake by 25% but reduced N retention by 50%.

A vaccination mandate for travel? Fauci says it's possible
Addressing a topic on the mind of everyone in the travel industry, Dr. Anthony Fauci told Newsweek that it is "quite possible" that Covid-19 vaccinations could become mandatory in order to travel to other countries.
"Well, you know, of course [it would be good for Covid-19 to become a standard travel vaccine]," he told the news outlet. "I mean, if everybody gets vaccinated, of course that's good."
Citing the example of yellow fever, Fauci said that although the U.S. doesn't require visitors to have a yellow fever vaccine, other nations do.
"It's the place to which you are going that requires it," he said. "I went to Liberia during the Ebola outbreak. I had to get my yellow fever vaccine or they would not let me into Liberia."
Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also said that a Covid-19 vaccine passport could be issued in the U.S.
"Anything is on the table. Anything is possible, of course," he said.
Fauci said that it was unlikely that the U.S. would nationally mandate getting a Covid-19 vaccine, because "we almost never mandate things federally [with regards to health]."
"I'm not sure [the Covid-19 vaccine is] going to be mandatory from a central government standpoint, like federal government mandates. But there are going to be individual institutions that I'm sure are going to mandate it," he said.

Allah-Las, "Worship the Sun"
September 16th 2014 by Alejandra Gomez
Worship the Sun
With the beach, the desert, and endless supply of sunshine surrounding Los Angeles—the city that Allah-Las happen to call home—it makes sense that these scenic vibes run through the band's second album Worship the Sun. In part, Worship feels like an extension of their 2012 self-titled debut, holding on to that sun-soaked, carefree feeling that makes for catchy tunes like "Had It All" and "Better Than Mine." But the boys have grown and so has their music. They've polished off some of the rough edges and replaced them with new textures and techniques that transport listeners from the bouncy jangles of "501-415" to the moody reverbs of "Artifact," and down to the shimmering riffs of the LP's title track. Where the group's debut felt like a day at the beach in the '60s, complete with sandy feet and salty skin, Worship the Sun lets listeners sonically explore other vintage West Coast hotspots. A trip to Topanga Canyon, anyone?

Subscription Services for Ebooks Progress to Becoming A Real Experiment
My long-held conviction that broad-based subscriptions for ebooks were not likely to work is partly based on facts that are now changing. It is still by no means a slam dunk that ebooks must go where Spotify has taken digital music and Netflix has taken the digital distribution of TV and movies, but it looks more likely today than it did six months ago. Still, looks could be deceiving.
The core of subscription economics is to pay less to the content supplier than they earn other ways to give you some headroom

Is It Impossible for Publishers to Quit Amazon?
Occasionally I've asked book publishers if they've ever considered a turnabout: withholding their books from Amazon until Amazon makes some concessions. They always insist that they couldn't withstand the short-term financial hit such a move would entail. They surely know the reality of their own bottom lines far better than I do, and they certainly haven't gotten the same free pass from Wall Street that Amazon has enjoyed over the past couple of years.

Bhatkal, also known as Batecala in some Portuguese historical texts is a port town in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, India 126 km from Karwar. Once ruled by Jain King Bhattakalanka and thus the name, Bhatkal town lies on NH-17 running between Mumbai and Mangalore and is one of the major stations along the Konkan Railway line running between Mumbai and Mangalore. The nearest airport is Mangalore International Airport.
By virtue of its strategic location, Bhatkal has a chequered history. Bhatkal witnessed the rise and fall of several dynasties and rulers. A part of Hoysala empire in 1291 to 1343, Bhatkal later fell into the hands of the Vijayanagara empire. After the disintegration of the empire, the Saluva (Jain) rulers of Hadwalli (a town on the State Highway towards Jog Falls) brought this coveted town under their control. Many temples and basadis were constructed during this period. Vestiges of this period can be found in Mudbhatkal, where a few temples of that era still stand.
Chola emperors under Aditya I, his son Parantaka I and successor Sundara Chola also known as Paranta Chola II initially inavaded and conquered territories in the Kannada country between Gangavadi on the Mysore plateau and Bhatkal on the Sahyadri coast 880-975 AD. The Cholas invaded Bhatkal during 10th century. As a sign of their victory in Kannada country, they built Solesvara Temple, believed to be the oldest temple, in commemoration of their conquest. Inscriptions from successive kings from Parantaka Chola I to Kulothunga Chola III mention their generals as 'Lords of the Konkana' which included Bhatkal and of paying obesience to Lord Solesvarar of Konkana(**). The Portuguese also made their presence felt here in the beginning of the 16th century. From the Keladi rulers, Bhatkal was passed on to Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan and later to the British in 1799 after Tipu Sultan died.
Communal Violence
Bhatkal known for its communal tension between Hindu and Muslim community,has on various occasions seen communal riots dating from 1968,1978,1985,1993,1996.The tension has never panned down because of the demographics of the town mainly.
In 1996 communal violence erupted due to killing of Dr. Chittaranjan, Member of State Legislative Assembly.
As of 2001 India census, Bhatkal had a population of 31,785. Males constitute 50% of the population and females 50%. Bhatkal has an average literacy rate of 75%, higher than the national average of 59.5%; with male literacy of 78% and female literacy of 73%. 14% of the population is under 6 years of age.

The Muslim [Nawayath] and the Hindus communities are predominant in Bhatkal. The people of Bhatkal are typically called "Bhatkalis" and have since the 1960s spread afar, including UK, America, Australia but more so across the Middle East especially Bahrain,Dubai,Oman,Qatar,Saudi.Kannada is the predominant language of the people of Bhatkal.Konkani is also spoken in Bhatkal town. Nawayathi which is the dialect of Konkani is the most widely spoken language of the town by Nawayath Muslims.
The Bhatkal Nawayath is known as owned business like Garment showroom, House material, Real Estate , Hotel ,Super Market, Construction Business, Other Engineering Industries, Whole Seller of Import item,travel.etc
Tourism and Cuisine
Bhatkal has been quite a hustling tourist spot mainly because of Murdeshwara Temple, World Renowned Shiva Statue and Beaches. The place has been attracting a wide range of tourists to this place. As far as cuisine is concerned its widely large because of amalgamation of different cultures.
The town is strewn with educational institutions of repute managed by Anjuman Hami-e-Muslimeen, a pioneering education trust founded in 1919.It has played a prominent role in spreading the light of education across all sections of society. The Anjuman Engineering College at Bhatkal, which completes 25 years in 2005, is well known throughout the country for imparting quality technical education. The Hindu-managed Bhatkal Education Trust also runs a few institutions. The Jamia Islamia is a reputed centre for religious studies. On the social domain, Majlise Islah Wa Tanzeem is rendering valuable service to the welfare of the community since its inception in 1912.
Visitors to Bhatkal go back carrying with them pleasant memories of the flora and fauna, the surreal beaches, archaeological splendours and elegant mosques. The archaeological treasures at Bhatkal speak volumes about the history of Bhatkal and they sketch its rich heritage. The extant Kethapayya Narayan temple in MudBhatkal was constructed in 1545 by Ketha Pai, a noted Goan jeweller, and was the most outstanding architectural specimen of that time. The Parshwanatha Jain Basadi on Bazaar Main Road ranks among the ancient structures of Bhatkal. The town is home to some magnificent mosques like the Jamia masjid, the Khalifa masjid, the Sultani masjid and the Noor masjid. Some old mosques date back to more than a couple of centuries. The entire Bhatkal beach area with a fishing port and a lighthouse atop a hillock offers a breathtaking view. One can get a panoramic view of the villages from the lighthouse. If one looks around, the Arabian Sea with colourful fishing boats drifting and bobbing is a treat to the eyes. Here, the river Sharabi drains into the Sea. Taking a break, one cago across to the Murdeshwar tourist resort, a popular tourist destination, that is close-by to Bhatkal.

Climate & Energy Justice News
A major scorecard gives the health of Australia's environment less than 1 out of 10
Albert Van Dijk, Luigi Renzullo, Marta Yebra and Shoshana Rapley
2019 was the year Australians confronted the fact that a healthy environment is more than just a pretty waterfall in a national park; a nice extra we can do without. We do not survive without air to breathe, water to drink, soil to grow food and weather we can cope with.
Every year, we collate a vast number of measurements on the state of our environment: weather, oceans, fire, water, soils, vegetation, population pressure, and biodiversity. The data is collected in many different ways: by satellites, field stations, surveys and so on.
We process this data into several indicators of environmental health at both national and regional levels.
The report for 2019 makes for grim reading. It reveals the worst environmental conditions in many decades, perhaps centuries, and confirms the devastating damage global warming and mismanagement are wreaking on our natural resources.
Immediate action is needed to put Australia's environment on a course to recovery.
Environment scores in the red
From the long list of environmental indicators we report on, we use seven to calculate an Environmental Condition Score for each region, as well as nationally.
These seven indicators – high temperatures, river flows, wetlands, soil health, vegetation condition, growth conditions and tree cover – are chosen because they allow a comparison against previous years. In Australia's dry environment, they tend to move up and down together, which gives the score more robustness.
Nationally, Australia's environmental condition score fell by 2.3 points in 2019, to a very low 0.8 out of ten. This is the lowest score since at least 2000 – the start of the period for which we have detailed data.
Condition scores declined in every state and territory. The worst conditions were seen in the Northern Territory (0.2 points), New South Wales (0.3 points) and Western Australia (0.4 points), with the latter also recording the greatest decline from the previous year (-5.7 points).
What is most striking is that almost the entire nation suffered terrible environmental conditions in 2019. In each case, the changes can be traced back to dry, hot conditions. Only parts of Queensland escaped the drought.
Comparing local government areas, the worst conditions occurred in Armidale and Gwydir in northern NSW. In contrast, Winton and Townsville in Queensland escaped the overall poor conditions, thanks to the beneficial impact of high rainfall early in the year – although those same events also caused floods killing around 600,000 livestock.
Extreme drought and extreme heat
So what exactly happened in Australia in 2019 to cause such widespread environmental damage? There were several causes.
Across most of Australia, the environment was already reeling from poor conditions in 2018. Also, cool temperatures in the Indian Ocean delayed the onset of the monsoon in northern Australia and reduced the flow of moisture to the rest of the continent, creating hot and dry conditions. Average rainfall was a mere 229 mm across the continent, the lowest in more than 119 years and probably longer than that.
The heat was also extraordinary. The average number of days above 35°C across the country was 36% more than the average for the 19 years prior.
In eastern Australia, arid and hot conditions pushed farmers and ecosystems deeper into drought. In many regions, dryness and declining protection from wind erosion created the worst soil conditions in at least 20 years. Consequences included several dust storms and widespread dieback of forests, especially in NSW.
The severe drought also affected inland water systems, especially the Darling River and its tributaries. Town water supply reservoirs ran out of water, the rivers stopped flowing, and the heat turned the remaining pools into death traps for fish.
Other rivers in northwest Australia, southeast Queensland and northeast NSW also saw their worst flows in 20 years.
Unprecedented fires
Of course, 2019 will be remembered as the year of unprecedented bushfires. Nationally, the total area burnt was not unusual, not even when the fires of early 2020 are included. But this is only because fire activity was much below average in northern Australia, where ongoing dry conditions left little vegetation to burn.
The extent of forest fires last year was unprecedented, however. As predicted well in advance1, the tinder-dry forests in eastern Australia provided the fuel for a dramatic fire season that started in September. Between then and the first month of 2020, vast areas of forest in New South Wales, eastern Victoria, Kangaroo Island and the Australian Capital Territory went up in flames.
The fires destroyed more than 3,000 homes and directly killed 33 people. Indirectly, the most hazardous air quality in living memory created major but poorly known health impacts. The fires also damaged the reliability of drinking water supplies.2
The ecological damage was also profound. Fires raged through ecosystems poorly adapted to fire, from rainforests in tropical Queensland to alpine vegetation in Tasmania and the Snowy Mountains of NSW. It remains to be seen whether they can recover. Across NSW, 35% of rainforests were turned to cinders.
About 191 species of animals and plants saw more than one-third of their living area burnt, among them 52 species that were already threatened.3 Thankfully, the last remaining stands of the prehistoric Wollemi pine and the rare Nightcap Oak were saved.
Even before the fires, 40 plant and animal species were added to the threatened list in 2019, bringing the total to 1890. Following the fires, more species are likely to be added in 2020.
We're not doomed yet
Last year was neither an outlier nor the "new normal" – it will get worse.
Greenhouse gas concentrations continued to increase rapidly in 2019, causing the temperature of the atmosphere and oceans to soar. Australia's population also continued to grow quickly and with it, greenhouse gases emissions and other pollution, and our demand for land to build, mine and farm on.
Whether we want to hear it or not, last year represented another step towards an ever-more dismal future, unless we take serious action.
The current coronavirus pandemic shows that as individuals, and collectively, we can take dramatic action once we acknowledge the urgency of a threat. By comparison, addressing environmental decline will cost less, whereas the long-term costs of not acting will be far greater.
There is much we can do. In the short term, we can help our natural ecosystems recover from the drought and fires. Government agencies and land owners can cull and manage invasive species in fire-affected areas ‒ from weeds, to foxes, cats and feral horses ‒ and stop damaging logging in fire-affected areas.
Individuals can do their bit. We can donate money or time to organisations committed to helping ecosystems recover.4 Record what you see on bushwalks to help environmental managers monitor and assist ecological recovery.5
But the damage of climate change is not limited to natural environments. We must get serious about curbing greenhouse emissions. Humanity has the tools, technology and ingenuity to do it and Australia, one of the countries worst affected by climate change, should lead the world.
Beyond that, individuals can also make a contribution: recycle and reuse rather than buy new, choose low-emission and renewable energy technology and reduce waste – it can save money even now. Let governments and politicians hear your voice. Try to convince friends and family that things need to change.
In the long term, we must find a more balanced relationship with the natural world, understanding that our own survival will depend on it.

World leaders urged to 'step back from precipice' of ecological ruin
February 2020 ‒ Humanity's ongoing destruction of nature threatens the survival of our species, a group of former foreign ministers has warned, calling on leaders to step back from "the precipice" of irreversible ecological ruin and protect the planet.
The planet's rapidly warming oceans must be the focus of increased conservation efforts due to their importance in producing oxygen and food for billions of people, the former ministers added.
In a statement signed by 23 diplomats – including former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright and former British foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind – world leaders are urged to back the draft UN agreement to protect almost a third of the world's oceans and land.
"The loss and degradation of nature jeopardises human health, livelihoods, safety and prosperity. It disproportionately harms our poorest communities while undermining our ability to meet a broad range of targets set by the UN's sustainable development goals," reads the statement, which was released through non-profit thinktank Aspen Institute.
The former ministers highlighted the climate crisis, the "excessive exploitation" of natural resources, and ecosystem degradation as grave threats to international security, warning they "imperil the future for our grandchildren".
"Humanity sits on the precipice of irreversible loss of biodiversity and a climate crisis that imperils the future for our grandchildren and generations to come. The world must act boldly, and it must act now," the statement continues.
"The marine environment deserves special attention, as it covers 70% of our planet, and even people who live far inland depend on the ocean to produce half of the oxygen we breathe, to serve as the primary source of protein for over 3 billion people, and to help maintain a liveable climate," the statement continues.

In collaboration with Global Connections Project, the Pan Asian Office at Augsburg College invited students from its campus along with others from Cardinal Stritch University, the University of Minnesota Augsburg alumni and community members to participate in its annual service trip to Cambodia.
The group spent two weeks in Cambodia last winter break and included Nikki Yang, Houa Lor, Rayka Huq, Jayzong Chang, Maizoua Vang, Mai Yer Vang, May K Vang, Tasha Soundara, Alex Pongmany, and Penh Lo, group leader.
"Cambodia… a land of contrast," said Penh Soni Lo, director of the Pan Asian Center at Augsburg. "Being back and seeing the changes over the past 10 years fills me with hope.
The two-week trip was a chance to volunteer at New Life Center, an orphanage that the Global Connections Project built last year. The students helped to teach conversational English in Neanglem village about 20 miles from Battambang.
Tasha Soundara said the experience of teaching the students was a very humbling because it made her reflect on how different her life could of been if her own parents hadn't come to America.
The students explored the effects of tourism on Sihanoukvillle region while shadowing two young women that the project has been sponsoring.
Rayka Huq said the two women became so close to the group that is was difficult to leave them after just a few days.
Houa Lor said she is reminded of what it means to be thoughtful stewards in our own community and the world we live in.
"Stewardship is not merely a volunteer service for one day or when I have time, but is rather the responsibility and commitment to cultivate the lives of other human beings," said Lor.
Maizoua Vang said she was paired with two students who she taught classroom conversational English. At first, she said it was difficult to communicate at all but that after some creativeness from herself and her students they were able to accomplish a great deal.
"I am more than thankful to be a part of this great opportunity for them, as it is a great opportunity for myself as well," Vang said.
Nikki Yang recalls the Angkor Wat temples as an amazing historical and magnificent place. "Surprisingly enough, it wasn't the Angkor Wat temples that made a significant impression on me, but the children that we had saw there," Yang said.
Nikki Yang recalls visiting the infamous Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. It was a former school that was turned into a concentration camp during the Pol Pot regime in the 1970s.
"It was such an eerie and heavy feeling walking through the buildings knowing that people were tortured and killed in the same exact ground that I was stepping on," Yang said. "If you look close enough at the photo, you can see the stains of blood left behind from the victims that were tortured on the bed.
"Living in the U.S., I think we often forget how much our parents have had to go through in order to give us the opportunities that we are so privileged to have now. The stories and struggles of our parents and grandparents are such amazing stories; we must never forget where and who we come from.
Rayka Huq said the S21 Genocide museum was a horrifying experience to seei the actual rooms and prison cells where victims were tortured, along with paintings showing exactly how they were tortured.
Four high ranking leaders of this genocide are alive today, including Leng Sana who was finally taken to prison in 2007. Sentenced to death, Leng's attorneys negotiated a life sentence for him while his Khmer Rouge regime ordered millions of people killed that did not enjoy such a system of justice.
Founded in January 2010, Global Connections Project has been the lifelong work and vision of Shawn (Tuoch) and Penh (Soni).
Shawn and Penh are children of the wars in Southeast Asia which resulted in the mass exodus of Southeast Asian refugees to the United States. After several individual trips to Southeast Asia for charitable projects, they recognize the need for humanitarian work in Southeast Asia.

War of the Rebellion: Serial 089 Page 1272 Chapter LIV. OPERATIONS IN SE. VA. AND N. C.
NEAR PETERSBURG, December 14, 1864.
Mr. PRESIDENT: After sending my dispatch to you yesterday, knowing that the snow in the Valley was six inches deep and the weather very cold, and presuming that active operations would necessarily be suspended, I directed Rodes' division to march for Staunton and requested the Quartermaster-General to send cars to convey it to Richmond. It is now on the road, and should reach Staunton to-morrow evening. If the Quartermaster's Department is active, it should arrive in Richmond Friday morning. A dispatch received from General Early last night states that the scouts just in report that the Nineteenth Corps of the enemy had left the Valley, and that the Eighth was under marching orders. The latter might be preparing to move nearer the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, for I do not think they will strip it of all defense, or both corps may be coming to General Grant. Colonel Wither' scouts report that a New York regiment of infantry and part of the Seventh Regiment of cavalry had left the Kanawha for the Valley, but I supposed they might have been intended to replace the Farrison at New Creek. I do not know what may be General Grant's next move; his last against the Weldon railroad and our right flank failed. The expeditions from Plymouth and New Berne against Fort Branch, on the Roanoke, and Kinston, N. C.,have both retreated before the forces moved against them back to their former positions, and every thing at this time is quiet in the Departments of Virginia and North Carolina. If the reports of the prisoners and the statements of Federal officers to the citizens of country are true, the object of the last expedition was to make a permanent lodgment at Weldon, draw supplies by the Roanoke and Seaboard Railroad, and thence operate against the railroads in North Carolina. General Grant may now be preparing to break through our center, as the canal at Dutch Gap is reported nearly completed. As long as he holds so large an army around Richmond I think it very hazardous to diminish our force. We now can oppose about a division to one of his corps. I fear Savannah is in great danger, and unless our operations there are bold and energetic I am apprehensive of its fall. I hope, though, if all our troops are united, Sherman may be refused. But there is no time to lose. If the Nineteenth Corps does not come to Grant we might spare a division, but if the Nineteenth and Eighth are both drawn to him we shall require more men than we have. I ordered General J. A. Walker, with the Virginia reserves, from Weldon to Kinston, to oppose the movement against that place. He is now on his return to his position on the Danville and South Side roads.
RICHMOND, VA., December 14, 1864.

Q: Show that $\mathfrak{m}_p$ is an ideal in $\mathcal{O}_V.$ I'm working through Algebraic Geometry: A Problem Solving Approach by Garrity et al, and I have found myself stuck on Exercise 4.13.1, which is the section Points and Local Rings.

Let $V = V(x^2 + y^2 - 1) \subset \mathbb{A}^2(k).$ Let $p = (1, 0)
 \in V.$ Define $$\mathfrak{m}_p = \{f \in \mathcal{O}_V : f(p) =
 0\}.$$
Show that $\mathfrak{m}_p$ is a maximal ideal in
$\mathcal{O}_V.$

We're told that $\mathcal{O}_V$ is a subring of the function field $\mathcal{K}_V = \{\frac{f}{g} : f, g \in \mathcal{O}(V), g \neq 0\},$ where $\mathcal{O}(V) = k[x, y]/I(V).$
It was easy enough to show that $\mathfrak{m}_p$ is an ideal, but I'm getting caught up on how to show that it is maximal.
I know that maximal ideals in $k[x, y]$ are all of the form $I = \langle x - a_1, y - a_2 \rangle,$ so my idea was to show that $\mathfrak{m}_p = \langle x - 1, y \rangle,$ and then I know that maximal ideals in $k[x, y]/I(V)$ correspond to maximal ideal in $k[x, y]$ containing $I(V).$ This feels close to something correct, but I think I just don't understand the different spaces well enough to put it all together. Also, $\mathfrak{m}_p$ is an ideal in $\mathcal{O}_V,$ while $\langle x - 1, y\rangle$ is an ideal in $k[x, y],$ so setting them equal to each other doesn't make any sense.

A: Map $\mathcal{O}_V \to k$, $f \mapsto f(p)$. Show this is a ring homomorphism with kernel $\mathfrak{m}$.

Beautifully told story of Douglass's quest for freedom through education.
Cute and clever. The humor put me in mind of my favorite picture book Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten? though the humor wasn't as natural and felt a tad more forced.
I wasn't expecting this book to be as mysterious and creepy as it was. It also took me a while to get the symbolism of Chopsticks: the notes F & G representing the main characters of Frank and Glory and Chopsticks is described as F & G notes starting off close together and moving farther apart.
This entire story was told mainly through photographs which lends itself to great discussion on making inferences and predictions (with older readers of course since there are some mature themes) but the story itself just didn't feel believable. I realize a lot had to be spelled out for readers to know what's going on, but it seems highly unlikely a school would suspend or expel a student via written letter. That is something you tell a parent in person or over the phone. It was little things like that that prevented me from thoroughly immersing myself into Frank and Glory's world.
Darling picture book about how even geniuses like Mozart need a bit of outside inspiration every now and then.
One of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to. A must-read or must-listen. Either way you choose, it's a MUST!
Debut novelist Laura Ellen writes an intriguing and page-turning mystery!
This isn't so much a review as a rant about people who think YA lit isn't "literary" or challenging enough for high school students. I'd love you to comment with your thoughts.
I've heard such mixed reviews about Chopsticks. I know at my school when students are suspended their parent is called, but a letter is also sent home with the student.
Love your audio reviews! Since it's summer, I'm not in the car as much as during the school year, but I have some good titles lined up thanks to you!
Chopsticks was...different. I've "read" it twice and I'm still not sure I really get it.
Amy & Roger's Epic Detour is on my TBR list...thought I'd read it by now but I haven't gotten around to it.
The Frederick Douglass PB looks great, and I've got everyone on board her to do Hero's Guide as an audiobook, but not until ski season when we've got a 4hr-roundtrip drive to the mountain. Having read it, I know they'll all love it! Have a great reading week!
I actually just requested Chopsticks. It was recommended to me by librarians based on previous books I read. It'll be an interesting read to see what makes it so divisive!

TV Shows » Sons of Anarchy »
FOX Announces Comic-Con Line-Up: 'Glee,' 'Sons of Anarchy' Get Panels
Comic-Con begins July 22, and while the full schedule of TV and film panels won't be released for about two weeks, 20th Century FOX provided a sneak peek at their big shows and panels.
See Warner Brothers Comic-Con Panel Info>>
Seven of the studio's 11 TV panels are for animated series, but the most attention will most likely come for the mid-season show Terra Nova. The show about a family who goes back to prehistoric times is produced by Steven Spielberg and the panel will feature executive producer David Fury, a staple of Comic-Con thanks to his involvement in Buffy, Lost and 24.
Bones and Glee are both returning, despite having nothing to do with sci-fi or comic books, but in the strangest move ever, FX drama Sons of Anarchy will be making its Comic-Con debut to promote the upcoming third season. What does an intense almost Shakespearean biker gang drama have to do with science fiction? If you can answer that question, you're smarter than I am.
The other seven panels will feature the Sunday night animated comedies plus Futurama, which is back on the air thanks to a new life on Comedy Central.
And if you're worried about Fringe, these are just the shows produced by 20th Century FOX, and Fringe is from Warner Brothers. If Sons of Anarchy gets a panel, you can bet Fringe will be there too.
Here's a quick rundown of the panels to help you begin your Comic-Con planning.
Bob's Burgers (11am): The new mid-season animated series on FOX.
Neighbors from Hell (12pm): The panel for the new TBS animated series will feature many of the stars who provide voices on the show including Molly Shannon and Patton Oswalt.
Bones (2pm): Creator Hart Hanson and star David Boreanaz will be on hand to discuss season 6.
Terra Nova (3:30pm): The new Spielberg epic series panel will feature executive producers Brannon Braga and David Fury plus the pilot's director, Alex Graves (who also directed the pilot of Fringe).
Family Guy (11am): Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein and Seth Green will be on hand to discuss the show.
The Cleveland Show (11:45am): The panel will feature the cast as well as a table read for part of an upcoming episode featuring Cleveland at Comic-Con.
Futurama (12:45pm): The stars and creators will all be there for the grand return to the airwaves with new episodes this year, complete with a special look at what Comic-Con will be like in the 31st century.
The Simpsons (1:30pm): The creators will be there to discuss the upcoming 22nd season.
American Dad (12:30pm): MacFarlane returns for his third TV show panel of the event.
Glee (1:30pm): Check out an exclusive first look at season 2 with the creators and stars.
Sons of Anarchy (2:45pm): Creator Kurt Sutter and stars Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman and Katey Sagal will all be there to discuss the upcoming third season of the FX drama.

Q: JBoss/CXF Restful Web Service gives error 'MalformedURLException: no protocol: /' I am writing a CXF/Maven web service with Spring for dependency injection. Following is my web service code:-
@Path("/myws")
public interface IMyWebService {
    @POST
    @Path("/someAction")
    @Consumes("application/json")
    @Produces("application/json")
    MyResponse requestSomeAction(MyRequest requestObj);
}

@Service("myWebService")
public class MyWebService implements IMyWebService {
    @Autowired
    private IMyCoreService myCoreService;

    public MyResponse requestSomeAction(MyRequest requestObj) {
        // do some work
        return myResponse;
    }
}

And in my applicationContext.xml....
<context:component-scan base-package="com.company.project" />
<bean id="myCore" class="com.company.project.module.MyCoreService" />

<jaxrs:server id="restContainer" address="/">
    <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
        <bean class="com.company.project.module.MyWebService" />
    </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
    <jaxrs:features>
        <cxf:logging />
    </jaxrs:features>
    <jaxrs:providers>
        <bean class="org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider" />
    </jaxrs:providers>
</jaxrs:server>

I have marked all CXF dependecies with scope as provided so as to use the CXF libraries in the JBoss folders. I had to copy the following jars to the JBoss's default\lib folder to meet the required dependencies.
cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs.jar
aopalliance.jar
spring core jars
org.springframework.orm-3.0.0.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.jdbc-3.0.0.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.beans-3.0.0.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.context-3.0.0.RELEASE.jar
com.springsource.org.hibernate.ejb-3.4.0.jar

My app server is JBoss. When I deploy the war and start the server, I get the following error:-
Caused by: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: /
        at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:567) [:1.6.0_33]
        at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:464) [:1.6.0_33]
        at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:413) [:1.6.0_33]
        at org.jboss.wsf.stack.cxf.addons.transports.httpserver.HttpServerDestination.<init>(HttpServerDestination.java:67) [:3.4.1.GA]
        at org.jboss.wsf.stack.cxf.addons.transports.httpserver.HttpServerTransportFactory.createDestination(HttpServerTransportFactory.java:102) [:3.4.1.GA]
        at org.jboss.wsf.stack.cxf.addons.transports.httpserver.HttpServerTransportFactory.getDestination(HttpServerTransportFactory.java:91) [:3.4.1.GA]
        at org.apache.cxf.endpoint.ServerImpl.initDestination(ServerImpl.java:92) [:2.3.1]
        at org.apache.cxf.endpoint.ServerImpl.<init>(ServerImpl.java:71) [:2.3.1]
        at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.JAXRSServerFactoryBean.create(JAXRSServerFactoryBean.java:95) [:2.3.1]

I think the "/" is the address given in the service definition given in the applicationContext.xml. Why I am getting the above error, and how do i resolve it? Your help highly appreciated.
