The UN Security Council's faltering stance on self-determination in Western Sahara
By: Deich Mohamed Saleh
Approximately twenty nine years are accumulated since the UN Peacekeeping has arrived the ground of Western Sahara for a specific mission, which is the supervision of a referendum of self-determination for the people of the territory. Such referendum has not yet seen light due to the UN Security Council's lack of action, despite numerous of the UN and the OAU-AU resolutions and engagement of distinguished personalities. Unfortunately, the one who has been benefiting from the situation of procrastination is the Kingdom of Morocco, illegally occupying the territory, whereas the victim is the legitimate owner, the people of Western Sahara, who are fed up of long wait. The UN's failure, over more than fifty years, in the application of the legitimate right of the people of Western Sahara to self-determination and independence left no doubt how the International Community's action is controlled by interests and not by principles.
The Decolonization process
The process of the decolonization of Western Sahara dates back to the Spanish colonial era (1884-1976). Since the inscription of the territory in 1963 on the list of non-self-governing territories the UN treatment of the question has been based on the Resolution 1514 (XV) of the UN General Assembly containing the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. However, the UN General Assembly in its first resolutions on the question of then Spanish Sahara (2072(XX) of 1965 and 2229(XXII) of 1966), consecutively, asked Spain to decolonize the territory through a referendum of self-determination for the people of Western Sahara. Increasing the internal and international pressure made Spain to declare in August 1974 its intention to organize the referendum of self-determination of the territory in early 1975. King Hassan II of Morocco announced that his country could not accept a referendum that included the option of independence to be joined by Mauritania in claiming Western Sahara, calling for arbitration by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to make a judgement on the pre-colonial legal status of the territory. In its resolution 3292 (XXXII) of 1974, the UN General Assembly requested the ICJ to give an advisory opinion on the status of Western Sahara prior to Spanish colonization, and called on Spain to postpone the referendum until the General Assembly was able to decide on a decolonizing process that included an ICJ advisory opinion. However, the ICJ advisory opinion, which was released on 16 October 1975, denied any ties of sovereignty of Morocco and Mauritania over Western Sahara. The ICJ endorsed the decolonization of the territory based on the principle of self-determination. In response to the ICJ ruling, King Hassan II, with the complicity of certain Western powers, ordered the military invasion and occupation of Western Sahara on 31 October 1975.
For its part, the Organization of Africa Unit (OAU)/ now African Union (AU) was guided by the principles and objectives of its Charter in dealing with question of Western Sahara since its creation in 1963 , in particular those relating to the total decolonization of the African territories under foreign occupation. The Position of Africa Bloc was reinforced by the status of the territory as UN non-self-governing territory whose people were entitled to exercise their inalienable right to elf-determination in accordance with General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV). The African Organization consistently seized the question of Western Sahara calling for immediate decolonization of the territory and showing its solidarity with the people of the territory against Spanish domination. Morocco itself voted on the resolution CM/Res. 272 (XIX) of 1972 adopted unanimously in Rabat, Morocco, by the OAU Council of Ministers endorsing the right of the people of the then Spanish Sahara to self-determination and independence.
The decolonization of the Western Sahara has not yet taken place and that Spain remains the administrating power until the completion of the decolonization process. Thus, it has to comply with the obligations set out in Articles 73 and 74 (d) of the Charter of the United Nations. This was reaffirmed by the Legal Opinion of the UN Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs, Hans Correll, in 2002.
The Saharawi state
In the report on its visit to Western Sahara in May and June 1975, the UN Visiting Mission gave evidence that it " noted that the population, or at least almost all those persons encountered by the Mission, was categorically for independence and against the territorial claims of Morocco and Mauritania… and the Frente Polisario (Polisario Front) appeared as a dominant political force in the Territory. The Mission witnessed mass demonstrations in support of the movement in all parts of the Territory ". The Polisario Front (Frente Popular para la Liberación de Saguia el Hamra y Río de Oro) founded in 1973 after receiving widespread support among the population of Western Sahara, which made it embrace the people's aspirations in self-determination and independence. Shortly after signing Madrid accord, supermajority of representatives of the then colonial General Assembly (Jama'a) met on 28 November 1975 in Galtat-Zamur to endorse the Polisario Front and dissolve itself to be replaced by the Provisional National Council. On 27 February 1976 in Bir-Lehlu, the Polisario Front proclaimed the Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) to avoid a juridical fait accompli created by the departure of Spain.
Moroccan occupation
Morocco's military invasion and occupation of Western Sahara on 31 October 1975, involving 350.000 civilians in a march into the territory, was not only in violation of the UN and the OAU/AU resolutions as well as the principle of intangible colonial borders and the ICJ advisory opinion on Western Sahara. But also it was against the will of the people of the territory and constituted an attack on the sanctity and sovereignty of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic. The UN and OAU/AU are in line of the UN General Assembly resolution 2625 (XXV), which recognizes illegal the territorial acquisition by force that Morocco is an occupying power as the UN General Assembly stated in its resolutions 34/37 (1979) and 35/19 (1980).
Morocco occupation of Western Sahara generated a tragic situation, which made thousands of the population of the territory flee from the troops and airforces bombard, seeking for a safe place in Algeria. For more than 47 years, those people have lived in exile in hard conditions, waiting for the day they return back home. Morocco has applied since the outset of its occupation a military siege and media blockage in the territories under its control in order to conceal the genocide and crimes against humanity which have been committed by its troops and police forces, resulting in hundreds of deaths, disappeared, disabled due to torture and daily aggression and intimidation. Most of the human right organizations have reported widely on the subject as the UN High Commissioner (OHCHR), the Human Right Council, African Commission on Human rights, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch ….etc.. Besides detailed reports from the media.
It was explicit that some of the five permanent members of UN Security Council, namely France and United Sates had planned to the illegal Accord of Madrid in November 1975 between Morocco, Spain and Mauritania as well as to occupy Western Sahara. Recently, the USA Intelligence Service revealed hundreds of declassified documents on the issue of Western Sahara (see https://www.cia.gov). Their objectives were not only to circumvent the right of the people of the territory to self-determination and independence but also to destabilize the whole region and enter endless spiral . Both United States and France offered generous support to Morocco in military, political and financial aspects. In 1979 Mauritania abandoned the southern part of Western Sahara, which led to the signing of a peace agreement with the Polisario Front and recognizing the SADR afterwards in 1984.
King Hassan II mistook his estimation of occupying Western Sahara when he said that it would last only one week. He realized that it was impossible to achieve a military victory after incurring heavy costs in lives, materials and thousands of prisoners as revealed in the declassified documents of the CIA.
Goodwill vs deception
The sixteen years of fierce armed struggle almost resolved the conflict in favor of the SADR as its Army had advanced in taking control on the ground and the diplomatic achievements increased, which was crowned by the membership of SADR within the OAU in 1984. The progress of the Saharawi struggle as well as the international calls to prompt solution to the conflict, particularly in Africa, culminated in joining the UN and the OAU efforts. The African leaders played decisive role in reaching an agreement on a settlement plan for the organization of a referendum of self-determination for the people of Western Sahara, underling the cooperation of the SADR in this trend. The OAU resolution AHG/Res. 104 (XIX) of 1983 was effectively instrumental in laying the foundations for the subsequent UN-OAU efforts, which was reflected in the UN General Assembly resolution 40/50 (XXXX) of 1985. This resolution urged the two parties to the conflict, the Polisario Front and the Kingdom of Morocco, to engage in a direct negotiations under the auspices of the UN and the OAU, which led to a ceasefire on 06 September 991 and the deployment of the UN/OAU-AU Peacekeeping.
The UN Security Council has taken over running the question of Western Sahara pursuant to its approval, in 1990, of the Settlement Plan and establishment of the United Nations for a referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO). Both parties, under the auspices of the UN Secretary and the OAU Chairman, agreed on the cease fire and the organization of a referendum of self-determination by February 1992 in accordance with the timetable approved by the UN Security Council. The referendum was postponed due to Morocco attempt to extend the criteria to include 120.000 Moroccans in the list of voters. It was clear then that Morocco's objective from its engagement in the referendum process was: a) to succeed in changing the electoral body in its favor or b) to maneuver and play for time. The fact that Morocco realized that it was impossible to win the outcome of the referendum, especially when the UN published temporal list of eligible to vote in 1999.
The preposterous is that the UN Security Council did not dare to impose sanctions against the Kingdom of Morocco for its obstruction of the referendum. The fact that the UN Security Council's inaction against Morocco tribute to explicit collusion with it inside the Council and the Secretariat. France was behind paralyzing the OAU/AU role in the peace process because of bothering it in achieving its goals. No one of the five permanent members, advocates for the immediate exercise of the inalienable right of the people of the territory to self-determination and independence, just as France defends Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara. Moreover, They remained silent about the crimes committed by Moroccan authorities in the occupied territories of Western Sahara. It is true that there is a fundamental change in the views of USA, Russia, UK and China of the conflict in Western Sahara, but has not yet reached to the point of standing up for France. Significant efforts carried out by distinguished personalities as Special envoys of the UN General Secretary like Mr. James Baker III, former USA Secretary of State and of the Ambassador Cristopher Ross as well as the Ex-President of Germany, Mr. Horst Kohler, who failed due to the five's lack of will. Even the Council was unable to include the report on human rights in the MINURSO mandate because of France, despite of the calls for independent mechanism and the reports on the situation. Beyond that, the Council did nothing against Morocco for the expulsion of the civilian component of MINURSO in March 2016, which drastically affected the ability of the mission to carry out its functions. Five months later, in August 2016, Morocco took advantage of the UN Security Council's inaction to violate the ceasefire by constructing a road across Mauritania in an attempt aiming to annex the Guerguerat region including La-Aguera city. France now uses all its influence to involve many international parties' interests in the conflict in order to complicate its solution. It worked hard to implicate the European Union in plundering the natural resources in violation of the decisions of the European Court of Justice of 2016 and 2018.
In contrary, all hell broke loose when the SADR and the Polisario Front show resolute to fail out Moroccan maneuvers. If SADR did not respond to the dangerous and provocative move in Guerguerat and exercise its legitimate sovereignty over this liberated area, Morocco would succeeded in striking all Security Council resolutions against the wall and the credibility of the United Nations in general for ever. The Council has never invested the Saharawi party's goodwill or recognize its considerable concessions in finding a durable peaceful solution. The influence of France on the UN Security Council decisions, if continued, may lead to the worst in the Council's history of dealing with question of Western Sahara.
Peace or War
It is clear that the United Nations Secretariat and the Security Council have never interested in establishing the International legitimacy in the Northwest of Africa through the exercise of the right to self-determination for the people of Western Sahara. Instead, they have been working together over approximately twenty nine years to dispossess the people of the territory and its state of their legitimate right and grant it to the occupier, he Kingdom of Morocco, whose its claims were denied by the Advisory of Opinion of ICJ in 1975. The SASR, represented by the Polisario Front, accepted and still accepts to engage in any process leading to a referendum of self-determination, otherwise it will take the necessary measures, including armed struggle to liberate the rest of its territories still occupied by Morocco.
Obviously, France's recent attempts, which were reflected, in particular, in the Security Council resolution 2495 (2019), aimed to change the sense of self-determination to match Morocco's desire. France's trend of colonizing the peoples' territories and dominating their natural resources has never stopped. It continued support of Morocco illegal occupation of Western Sahara is a part of larger plans aiming to hit the stability of many countries in North Africa. By the adaptation of that resolution by the UN Security Council, the SADR and the Polisario Front decided to review its engagement in the entire process supervised by the UN. However, There is no significance to the UN's presence in the territory as well as the ceasefire while there is no referendum of self-determination. Decades of tireless efforts and big sacrifices were doomed.
The specter of war hangs over again between the two African countries, and nothing will stop it unless there is a serious will for the international community to put a prompt end to this long-standing conflict on the basis of international legitimacy in accordance with the United Nations and the African Union Charters and resolutions. As long as Morocco rejects the referendum of self-determination, there is no other realistic solution than the establishment of relations with SADR as it is a full member of the AU and one of the founders of it. The Sahrawi Republic has made great strides in building modern state institutions which are able to provide services in education, health, stability, justice, modernity and have a unique democratic experience as well as has got a wide range of international relations. Its political arm, Polisario Front, receives strong support among the population.
The restoration of AU's pivotal role is crucial in this stage, given that what is happening is on African lands and between two African countries and both of them are members of the same bloc. The AU has to act against the Kingdom of Morocco for immediate withdrawal of the territories which it occupies of SADR, even if it requires military intervention. With its admission to the African Union, the Kingdom of Morocco is obliged to respect the fundamental principles contained in the AU Constitutive Act including, inter alia, (b) respect for borders existing on achievement of independence, and (f)prohibition of the use of force or threat to use force against other AU Member States (article 4).
The peace and stability of the region and of the north Africa in general, can not be achieved on the expenses of the legitimate rights of the peoples like what is happening to the people of Western Sahara. The presence of the big five on the ground for more over than twenty nine years are enough to discover the reality of SADR and its commitment to peace and peaceful coexistence. Yes, Western Sahara is rich in natural resources, but they cannot be exploited without the consent of its generous people.
The UN's procrastination and delays in implementing the legitimate right of the people of Western Sahara to self-determination and independence for more than fifty unveils ulterior motives of some of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. They planned to the Spanish withdrawal of Western Sahara as well as to Morocco's military invasion and occupation of the territory. The objective was to deprive the people of Western Sahara of their right to self-determination and independence. They are aware of that it was in violation of the UN and OAU/AU resolutions as well as the principle of intangible colonial borders and the ICJ advisory opinion on Western Sahara.
Nevertheless, the people of Western Sahara were able to exist and establish their state despite heavy sacrifices and hard conditions. The peace and stability of the region and of the north Africa in general, can not be achieved on the expenses of the legitimate rights of the peoples like what is happening to the people of Western Sahara. The presence of the big five on the ground for more over than twenty nine years are enough to discover the reality of SADR and its commitment to peace and peaceful coexistence. Yes, Western Sahara is rich in natural resources, but they cannot be exploited without the consent of its generous people.

Bourita exposes the BBC Arabic Radio station lies
by Haddamin Moulud Said
A few days ago, on April 20, 2020, the BBC Arabic Radio Station section, London Radio, broadcasted a program, https://soundcloud.com/bbc-arabic/slabachs0keb according to which Morocco had offered humanitarian aid for the Sahrawi refugee camps that are being operated by the Sahrawi Republic and located on the Algerian-Western Sahara borders. However, this radio station, which is being funded with the British people money, claimed that Algeria had refused to receive such a humanitarian aid.
The subliminal message that the radio program, being broadcasted in Arabic language, wanted to transmit was that, supposedly, the infinite mercy of the Moroccan regime was faced with the wicked Algerian behavior, by impeding the aid to reach a certain population in needs of it, mainly during these difficult times of the Corona Virus.
The London Radio, which had enjoyed its climax of the radio hegemony for the last century's final years, mainly in much of the Arab world, has declined. And, taking advantage of its decadence, the scavengers did not take long to come to seize the remains of what was a very prestigious radio station. Certainly, listening to the BBC Radio, in Arabic language, addressing the issue of Western Sahara, one comes to doubt whether what you are listening to is a radio station funded by the British people money or, instead, a Moroccan radio station.
But time is a ruthless judge! And what better time than a holy month, like Ramadan, for a revelation to happen that makes things quite clear.
Just in the month in which angels descend from heaven, by order of God, to receive the gracious ones' deeds, the Moroccan minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, reveals the true moral and merciless ilk of a country, which the BBC Arabic Radio station wanted to praise as an example of mercy.
During the first week of the holy month of Ramadan, the Algerian Red Crescent praised the strong solidarity of the Algerian people, by organizing an airlift to bring thousands of tons of humanitarian aid to the Sahrawi refugee people.
And, there, in that exercise of mercy which kept the angels from heaven prostrate, where the Algerian people fulfilled the commandments of faith, Nasser Bourita brought out the leviathan that he carries within, showing the true satanic nature of the Moroccan regime.
For the Moroccan Foreign Ministry, the humanitarian aid received by the Saharawi refugees from Algeria only helps to foster separatism and fuels instability in the North-West region of Africa.
Just over a week ago, on the first day of Ramadan, the UN Agency, World Food Program (WFP), announced that the French Government had provided, for the first time, a generous donation of almost half a million dollars to the Saharawi refugee population.
Today, on May 5, 2020, the WFP again announces that the Swiss Government has made a donation, much more generous than the one made by the French Government, of almost two million dollars to help the Saharawi refugee population.
For Bourita, these people stranded in the middle of the desert with a Legitimate Cause and who have been hit by the pandemic hoping for international justice to come, are unworthy of the mercy that the holy month orders the gracious ones to practice.
It looks clear for those who are not among the gracious ones, that anyone who dares to help the needy, be it in the holy month of Ramadan or in the difficult times of a pandemic, this is promoting separatism and instability in the region
The extreme religious inappropriateness of Bourita's words invites us to think that, that first time in which France has helped the Sahrawi refugee people, it has been felt very badly in Rabat. Hence, the dart sent by Bourita is not only targeting Algiers but also its former metropolis.
For Rabat, the Saharawi people, who have been suffering for more than 45 years due to a military occupation of their territory, are unworthy of international aid, simply because of opposing the irrepressible territorial voracity of Morocco. Therefore, the UNHCR Agency, USA, France, Switzerland or Algeria, they are all promoting separatism and instability in the region by providing humanitarian aid to the Saharawi people. So, the BBC Arabic Radio station will continue to praise the kind contributions made by Morocco.

Bureta desnuda las mentiras de la BBC Radio árabe
por Haddamin Moulud Said
Hace unos días, el 20 de abril de 2020, la sección de radio de la BBC, Radio London, emitía un programa, según el cual Marruecos había ofrecido una ayuda humanitaria para los campamentos saharauis que la República Saharaui gestiona en la frontera argelino saharaui. Sin embargo, afirmaba la cadena de radio que paga el pueblo británico, Argelia se había negado a recibir dicha ayuda.
El mensaje subliminal que el programa, en lengua árabe, quería transmitir, era que la, supuestamente, infinita misericordia del régimen marroquí, se enfrentaba a la malvada Argelia para hacer llegar las ayudas a una determinada población que la necesita, en estos tiempos tan difíciles del coronavirus.
La Radio London que, durante buena parte de finales del pasado siglo, había disfrutado de las mieles y hieles de la hegemonía radiofónica, en buena parte del mundo árabe, se ha venido a menos. Y, aprovechándose de su decadencia, los carroñeros no han tardado en acudir para adueñarse de los restos de lo que fue una emisora de mucho prestigio. Ciertamente, oyendo la Radio de la BBC, en árabe, abordar la cuestión del Sahara Occidental, uno llega a dudar si lo que está escuchando es una radio pagada por el pueblo británico o, en cambio, es una radio marroquí.
Pero el tiempo es un juez implacable. Y qué mejor tiempo que un mes sagrado, como el Ramadán, para que acontezca una revelación que deja las cosas bastante claras.
Justo en el mes en que los ángeles descienden del cielo, por orden de Dios, para saludar a los bondadosos, el ministro de exteriores de Marruecos, Nasser Bourita, desvela la verdadera catadura moral e inmisericorde de un país, al que la BBC Radio, en árabe, quería presentar como un ejemplo de la misericordia.
Durante la primera semana del sagrado mes de ramadán, la Media Luna Roja argelina elogiaba la firme solidaridad del pueblo argelino, al organizar un puente aéreo para llevar miles de toneladas de ayuda humanitaria al pueblo saharaui.
Y, ahí, en ese ejercicio de misericordia, que mantenía postrados a los ángeles venidos del cielo, donde el pueblo argelino cumplía los mandamientos de la fe, Nasser Bourita, sacó el leviatán que lleva dentro, mostrando la verdadera naturaleza satánica del régimen marroquí.
Para el ministro marroquí, la ayuda humanitaria que han recibido los saharauis, procedente de Argelia, fomenta el separatismo y alimenta la inestabilidad en la región del África noroccidental.
Hace poco más de una semana, durante el primer día de ramadán, el Programa Mundial de Alimentación de NNUU, WFP, anunció que el gobierno de Francia había aportado, por primera vez, una generosa ayuda de casi medio millón de dólares para la población saharaui.
Hoy mismo, el 5 de mayo de 2020, de nuevo el WFP anuncia que el gobierno suizo ha hecho una donación, mucho más generosa que la efectuada por el gobierno francés, de casi dos millones de dólares para ayudar a la población saharaui.
Para Bourita, ese pueblo poseedor de una Causa Justa, que durante la pandemia ha quedado varado en medio del desierto, esperando la justicia internacional, es indigno de la misericordia que el sagrado mes ordena practicar a los bondadosos.
Es evidente que para quienes no están en las filas de los bondadosos, todo aquel que ose ayudar a los necesitados, sea en el sagrado mes del ramadán o en los tiempos difíciles de una pandemia, está fomentando el separatismo y la inestabilidad en la región.
La extrema inoportunidad religiosa de las palabras de Bourita, invita a pensar que esa primera vez en la que Francia ayuda al pueblo saharaui, ha sentado bastante mal en Rabat. De ahí que el dardo enviado por Bourita, si dirija a Argel pero, también, a su ex metrópoli.
Para Rabat, el pueblo saharaui, que lleva 45 años sufriendo por culpa de una ocupación militar de su territorio, es indigno de la ayuda internacional, por el simple hecho de oponerse a la incontenible voracidad territorial de Marruecos. En consecuencia, el ACNUR, la ONU, USA, Francia, Suiza o Argelia, todos, fomentan el separatismo y la inestabilidad en la región, al prestar ayuda humanitaria al pueblo saharaui. La BBC Radio, en árabe, seguirá cantando las bondades de Marruecos.

Markenfield Hall
Markenfield Hall is an early 14th-century moated manor house about 3 miles (5 km) south of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England. It is in the civil parish of Markenfield Hall, which in 2015 had an estimated population of 10.[1] The estate was an extra parochial area in the Hundred of Burghshire.[2] It was made a civil parish (spelt Markingfield Hall) in 1858.[3] It was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974, when under the Local Government Act 1972 it became part of the new county of North Yorkshire. It is part of the Borough of Harrogate.

House and parkEdit
The house is an L-shaped castellated block, with a great hall that stands above an undercroft and was originally reached by an exterior stone staircase. It is lit by two double-light windows with quatrefoil transom under their arched heads. The house is defended by a moat, which is crossed by one bridge that is guarded by a 16th-century Tudor gatehouse. The house, including the gatehouse, is a Grade I listed building.[4]
Several acres of land to the west and north of the house are emparked. The hall, adjoining land, and park pale are a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[5]
The house is open for public tours at specific times, for groups by appointment, and may be hired as a wedding venue.
The Domesday Book of 1086 records two households at Markenfield.[6]
In 1150 the estate was held by the Le Bret family who had a house there and adopted the name de Markenfield.
The present house was built for John de Markenfield, an associate of Piers Gaveston and a servant of Edward II. The Crown granted a licence to crenellate Markenfield in 1310, the same year that John was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer.[7] Sir Thomas Markefield was appointed High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1484 and fought on the side of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. In 1569 Thomas de Markenfield was involved in the pro-Catholic Rising of the North and fled to the Continent.[8] Markenfield was confiscated and granted to Thomas Egerton, Master of the Rolls.
Egerton never made Markenfield his main home. It devolved to a rented farmhouse but retained its features. In 1761 Fletcher Norton, 1st Baron Grantley bought the house, replaced the roof of the Great Hall and ensured that the house was structurally sound once more. It descended to the 7th Baron Grantley who began a restoration project in 1980 to convert the hall from a farmhouse into a family home.[7]

Rébecca Dautremer was born in 1971 in Gap in the French Alps. She studied graphic design at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris, during which time she was working as an illustrator for various publishers. She primarily works with gouache on watercolor paper. Taking inspiration from photography, she places a special focus on image composition and the effects of light and colour.
In 2003, she published her first children's book, »L'Amoureux« (tr: The Lover), which explores the question of what it actually means to be in love. She has written several books in collaboration with her husband, the author Taï-Marc Le Thanh. The picture book »Princesses oubliées ou inconnues« (2004; Eng. »The Secret Lives of Princesses«, 2010), illustrated by Dautremer, with text by Philippe Lechermeier, highlights the peculiarities and secrets of unknown and forgotten royal daughters and has been translated into more than twenty languages. In »Une bible« (2014; tr: The Bible) – a renewed collaboration with Philippe Lechermeier that retells the Old and New Testaments – Dautremer constructs »fantastic worlds of images that, together with the texts, create a unique work of art« (Deutschlandfunk Kultur). »Les Riches Heures de Jacominus Gainsborough« (2018; tr: The Rich Hours of Jacominus Gainsborough) follows the life of a rabbit. He draws on his many memories starting from his birth as the runt of the litter to his later years as a proud family man. The richly detailed images with expressively drawn animal faces exude a tenderness that is echoed in the softly and poetically told story. The book has won several awards, including the 2019 Franco-German Youth Literature Prize. The jury praised the work, stating that »Under the fabulous brushwork of Rébecca Dautremer, one of the great French illustrators, the emotions of Jacominus become visible… With each turn of the page, we follow his paths, his dreams, his hopes, his fears, his love.« Dautremer's »Midi pile« (2019; tr: High Noon) once again features the rabbit Jacominus Gainsborough. The story follows Sweety the rabbit as she goes on her way to meet him. Readers accompany her as she hops through the detailed die-cut pages. Starting from home, the journey continues across meadows, past market stalls, through a circus, and on to the harbour. »Die Zeit« has described the book as »a miniature theater between two book covers«.
Rébecca Dautremer lives in Paris.

Today we interview Ashley, recently she launch Chozan, a plateform that will help marketers to understand Chinese Digital world.
Ashley, can you introduce yourself?
I'm originally from Russia but I've lived abroad for most for my life.
In 2006 I moved to China's largest municipality, Chongqing, to study and work. It was an all around great experience. Professionally I learned a lot by working with international brands entering second tier cities in China.
Upon moving to Hong Kong in 2010, I continued working in marketing and PR. I noticed the need international firms still had in better understanding the Chinese business environment. I wanted to help them find the right approach to succeed so I founded my first agency Alarice. Then in 2016, we saw the need for quality information, education and resources for Chinese social media marketing and we launched ChoZan ( www.chozan.co) .
Since early 2017, I've also started my China marketing blog called Ashley Talks and Youtube Channel which now has hundreds of subscribers.
So, why did you choose to come to Hong Kong?
Hong Kong is a dynamic, multi-cultural city, things are happening and moving fast. I always call Hong Kong a big city with a small city's comfort, as everyone can find something for himself. Basically you can live in Hong Kong as if you were in New York and go to Central. If you prefer Thailand, go to Shek O. If you want to feel like you're in mainland China, visit Mongkok. Or if you prefer a quiet European village, check out Stanley. Business-wise Hong Kong is a fantastic hub right in the heart of Asia, business operations are simple, taxes are low, there's a lot of talent out there to hire and the legal & financial systems are straightforward and well regulated.
Can you explain to us what ChoZan is?
ChoZan is an online training and resources platform specializing in Chinese social media. We work with clients to improve their understanding of Chinese consumers, by providing information, updates and advice regarding Chinese social media channels, tools and marketing best practices.
We focus mainly on WeChat and Weibo, but also cover Miaopai, Yizhibo, Douban, and Youku.
And why did you choose the name ChoZan, what does it actually mean?
ChoZan is a romanized spelling of 超赞 , which means "awesome" in Mandarin. 超 – "chao" means "extremely" and 赞 "zan" means "thumbs up". We think of our team as an "awesome thumbs up" factory for our clients and subscribers.
What's your marketing strategy for ChoZan?
We do a lot of public speaking, attending industry events and conferences, and partner with agencies, councils and other industry players. We do roadshows across Asia and Europe and are planning one in the USA by the end of the year.
On the digital side, we write a comprehensive blog about WeChat and Weibo marketing, Chinese consumers, live streaming, KOLs, campaigns and other related topics. We send out regular EDMs and manage our presence on international social media. We also work closely with media partners publihsing stories and getting featured in established international publications such as Forbes, CNBC, the SCMP, HK01, China Daily, TVB and more. We also invest in paid promotion on search engines and social media.
What are the main problems that ChoZan solves for marketers?
ChoZan works with marketers to improve their understanding of Chinese consumers and Chinese social media marketing.
We help them quickly get a handle on the market and the promotional platforms available so they can dive in right away.
Marketing managers need concrete examples of best practices for inspiration and guidance and we provide the latest case studies featuring campaigns on WeChat and Weibo covering various industries.
It can also be very confusing to figure out which influencers are legitimate and effective and which ones suit your business so we provide handpicked and pre-audited Key Opinion Leader databases.
It's also difficult for people to master a brand new app or social media platform when starting on it for the first time. How do you set up a new account? Which kind of account is best? What documents and procedures do I need to follow? We cover all of that in our navigators, which are operational guides on how to do marketing on various platforms.
And people run into problems along the way that they didn't anticipate. With our experience and knowledge, we can provide additional bespoke resources and coach people via 1-on-1 consultations.
What do you think will happen in the social media space in China in the next 5 years?
With further development of mobile devices, apps and the mobile Internet, the number of active mobile social users will continue to grow. This will result in a considerable increase in advertising budgets for mobile Chinese social media, and shorter, more result driven campaigns.
WeChat and Weibo might still remain the most popular social media platforms in China. WeChat will likely remain the most frequently-used social media app. Mini Apps are likely to advance enough to include SAR and VR technology, enabling O2O interactions beyond the obvious. Weibo will grow its influence among the younger generation, live streaming and may have to reinvent its mobile interface.
Short videos will continue to gain popularity and have potential to become the major content type on Chinese social media. There will be more vertical content that focuses on a particular category or topic, like online gaming, fitness or food and travel.
Live streaming will see more business and presentation models. Besides the emerging "live streaming + e-commerce" mode and real-time video or audio connections with the audience, AR and VR technology will also be integrated into live streaming, which not only provides brand new viewing experiences for the audience, but also creates new business possibilities.
With strong personal charisma, unique views or professional expertise in a certain field, KOLs will still be active in sponsored promotions for brands while there will be more ways of cooperation and different business models. New types of KOLs will emerge, beyond celebrities, wanghong and thought leaders.
Marketing strategies on social media will become more context-oriented. Chinese netizens already appreciate high-quality content that's original, novel or interesting but in the coming years, content will start playing an even more important role.
What is your favourite Brand campaign on Chinese social media this year?
There are so many amazing campaigns out there, that it's hard to choose one. One very recent Olay campaign that I like is beautiful in its simplicity, wonderfully executed and also delivered exceptional sales results.
On the occasion of Mother's Day this year, Olay, a skin care brand, launched a large campaign on Weibo that featured KOL cooperation, Weibo advertising and giveaways.
First, Olay released an ad which showed a new mother visiting a photo gallery that was prepared by her husband as her Mother's Day present. The photos displayed show that after the birth of their child, she became so busy looking after the baby that she barely had time to care for herself. He noticed this and wanted to show his appreciation and that he didn't take her for granted. The video was touching and received lots of positive feedback because it resonated with so many moms.
To promote the ad, Olay worked with several KOLs on Weibo, including @扒皮王 (entertainment critics with 8.5 million followers) and @苏芩 (writer with 50 million followers). Their posts resulted in over 7000 interactions. They also worked with two famous Chinese celebrities, Song Qian (@宋茜) and Gao Yuanyuan (@高圆圆), who published videos expressing their Mother's Day wishes which really increased their brand exposure.
Olay also sponsored the hashtag #Mother's Day# on Weibo so when users clicked the hashtag, they saw Olay's customized topic page. The banner on the page directed users to Olay's Mother's Day package e-commerce site.
More than one week before Mother's Day, Olay had already launched several ads on Weibo, and gradually intensified the campaign exposure as the day came closer. They got very impressive result with hundreds millions of Weibo exposures and 45,000 Mother's Day gift packs sold.
Your business in linked to China, but your office is in Hong Kong. What's the main challenge in running a company out Hong Kong, and what's your secret to success?
Hong Kong is a great place to run a business, even though the operational costs are relatively high. I think that every business's biggest challenge is hiring the right people that are not only skilled, but also fit into your company culture and share the same life values.
I'm a firm believer that company success is really not about the sharp business plan or a perfect strategy. It is about the people, therefore I hire the best people I can find, those I truly connect with and who share my values. Besides the right team, it's crucial to surround yourself with great advisors and a strong network in Hong Kong, China and the world.
Thank you. Any question to Ashley ?

Q: Pull multiple key values from Json Python I am trying to write code for a project that pulls multiple pieces of data from a JSON API. I've got the code written where it will narrow it down to the segment I want and pull a full list of a given key (siteSlatePlayerId). However, I am trying to get it to also pull 'name' at the same time.
Example: 100031, Lebron James
How can I change this loop (or if you recommend another way) to pull 'siteSlatePlayerId' and 'name' at the same time? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
df = pd.read_json('https://resultsdb-api.rotogrinders.com/api/slates?start=11/03/2019')
df2 = df
df3 = df2[(df2['slateTypeName'] == 'Classic') & (df2['sport'] == 3)]
#df3.to_csv("output3.csv")

Player_Slate = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(df3["slatePlayers"])
print(Player_Slate)

###########################################################
# Get Unique ID for player
###########################################################
def get_playerid(data, key):
   for key in data:
       try:
           if (key == 'siteSlatePlayerId'):
               return (data[key])
       except:
           print('error')
   return 0

for siteSlatePlayerId in Player_Slate.slatePlayers:
   playerid = [get_playerid(x, "siteSlatePlayerId") for x in siteSlatePlayerId]
print(playerid)

This gives me all the player IDs:
['13689965', '13689969', '13689973', '13689977', '13689982', '13689986', '13689989', '13689993', '13689997', '13690002', '13690005', '13690007', '13690011', '13690013', '13690018', '13690022', '13690026', '13690028', '13690030', '13690034', '13690037', '13690041', '13690045', '13690050', '13690054', '13690059', '13690062', '13690066', '13690070', '13690074', '13690078', '13690081', '13690084', '13690088', '13690092', '13690096', ...

A: First, obtain a clean df:
players_df = pd.json_normalize(df3['slatePlayers'].apply(lambda x: x[0]))

Or players_df = pd.json_normalize(df['slatePlayers'].str[0]) if you prefer. pandas.json_normalize normalize semi-structured JSON data into a flat table.
Then, you can get what you want:
>>> players_df[['name','siteSlatePlayerId']]
    name    siteSlatePlayerId
0   Kawhi Leonard   13691028
1   Lamar Jackson   13676980
2   Lamar Jackson   13680443
3   Ezekiel Elliott 13679976
4   Ezekiel Elliott 13680092

Full code:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_json('https://resultsdb-api.rotogrinders.com/api/slates?start=11/03/2019')
df2 = df
df3 = df2[(df2['slateTypeName'] == 'Classic') & (df2['sport'] == 3)]
df3.to_csv("output3.csv")
players_df = pd.json_normalize(df['slatePlayers'].apply(lambda x: x[0]))
players_df[['name','siteSlatePlayerId']]

Library to get a renovation
In 1979, Kathleen Miller watched a demonstration on what a computer was and how to use one. Flash forward to 2016, and she's serving as the University Librarian at FGCU, promoting Library NEXT — an initiative that will upgrade the library's technologies and add more seating and study rooms.
"We have been in this expanded library now for about ten years," Miller said. "It seems that we're very successful, and our biggest problem is that students come in at peak times, and they have to really hunt for a place to sit and work and for a place to plug in, so that was the first thing we noticed."
On Friday, Feb. 12, Miller presented the project idea alongside several other individual librarians during the bi-weekly faculty senate meeting. During the meeting, Miller promoted not only the idea itself but also an event she will be hosting, A Campus Conversation, on Tuesday, March 15, which is open to FGCU students, faculty and staff. This event will be an open discussion on current improvements that will come with Library NEXT, where the university community can provide suggestions.
Miller said that the biggest change that will follow the initiative is the way space is used in the library.
"We started thinking of how many spaces we have to be adjusted," Miller said.
Despite the fact that Miller and the rest of the library administration collected and removed more than 4,000 VHS tapes and bound paper journals to create more space for seating, paper books, manuals and journals are still what take the largest amount of space in the library.
"The single biggest area in the building is the collection (of books)," Miller said. "And, we've been looking at our statistics, and we know that in the last five years our circulation of print materials has dropped about 40 percent. Obviously, the collections are still being used; they just aren't being used as heavily as they once were."
The use of e-books and e-journals in the library has been increasing, and while Miller plans on analyzing the hard copies currently available for student and faculty, the library staff won't get rid of them all together. Print editions of books and journals can be transported to the Florida Academic Repository, a statewide shared storage facility managed by the University of Florida.
"I can take materials from our collection that are not being used that much, but we still want to hold on to cause we think they have some scholarly value," Miller said. "They still belong to FGCU, and we can still get them if somebody wants them through Catalog."
FGCU's online academic Catalog is an online data base with information on the current curriculum as well as educational plans and offerings.
Getting rid of print text all together isn't an option for Miller, at least for now.
"I think that's unlikely at least in the short term future," Miller said. "A lot of what we have in print is not available electronically, particularly the retrospective collection."
New study rooms will also be added to Library West come summer 2016.
FGCU student Marlie Connor is looking forward to more seating and less print books in the library since she doesn't use them. She also feels like more quiet spaces are needed.
"It's hard to find quiet places because some people talk too much or they're a little too loud," Connor said.
Library NEXT will be funded through the university's budget, along with carving out funds from the library's budget specifically. The project might also find financing in another more unexpected way — by using the funds originally allocated for a recent vacant librarian position.
The health sciences librarian recently took another job elsewhere, so the money set aside in the budget for that position can be used towards Library NEXT until the position is filled.

Keeping correct pH and chlorine levels is essential to making sure that pool water is kind to both equipment and swimmers. Fluctuating pH is one problem: Levels lower than 7.2 (too acidic) might liquefy plaster or concrete surfaces and trigger metal in the mechanicals to corrode. Greater levels minimize chlorine's ability to eliminate bacteria, such as E. coli or those that cause ear infections and rashes.
Chlorine monitoring is similarly essential. "If you don't enjoy the levels, you risk exposure to hazardous germs," states Dr. Thomas M. Lachocki of the National Spa & Pool Institute (NSPI). At the exact same time that chlorine damages algae and bacteria, it bonds with nitrogen-based ammonia– mostly from urine, fertilizer, and the environment– forming irritating chloramines. It's chloramines– not extreme chlorine– that sting the eyes and aggravate the skin. Paradoxically, adding more chlorine ruins the chloramines. Excessive chlorine– the NSPI's requirement is a maximum of 10 ppm– can not only aggravate mucous membranes however rust system parts and fade your swimsuit.
Still, chlorine remains the industrywide favorite: As long as you're alert, inspecting levels as soon as a week and more often during peak use, it's a really reliable and safe sanitizer. The only thing better might be to boil the water.

Drug traffickers, Ohio doctors' offices, online fentanyl black markets, and illegal drugmakers in China, were the targets of a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) crackdown during July and August, 2018.
The recent Ohio operation follows on the heels of a massive health care fraud investigation earlier this year. That operation led to the arrests of 601 suspects for illegal drug trafficking and other crimes. The suspects included 162 doctors and others for illegally prescribing and distributing prescription opioid painkillers.
Sessions said that civil injunctions have been filed against two doctors based out of northern Ohio for illegally prescribing opioids. One was also accused of Medicare fraud, and was also accused of receiving $175,000 in payola, or kickbacks, from a liquid fentanyl manufacturer whose product is used in cancer patient treatments. The other doctor advertised his services at fitness centers, which led to his arrest after selling opioids and steroids directly to undercover agents.
The Attorney General also announced a huge, 43-count indictment filed against the leaders of the Zheng drug trafficking organization, in Shanghai, China. Two men, a father and son, are accused of conspiring to manufacture and ship 250 types of fentanyl and other synthetic narcotics.
The Chinese drug traffickers sold fentanyl and heroin, but also fake drugs, including counterfeit Adderall and "cancer medication" that was actually bath salts. The investigation also revealed that the Chinese conspirators hid behind shell companies while distributing drugs to 25 countries, including 37 U.S. states.
Another conspirator, charged with being the American re-shipper for the Chinese, pleaded guilty after he was arrested trying to leave the country.
Two overdose deaths in Akron, Ohio, have been traced directly back to the drugs from China.
Another undercover investigation led to the arrest of an Ohio couple, charged with selling fentanyl and other drugs on the so-called "dark web," the secretive online marketplace for drugs, guns and other illicit goods.
Earlier this year, US attorney's offices designated "opioid coordinators" in each state, and 48 state attorneys general began coordinating with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to combat the opioid epidemic.
To date, the department has charged dozens of doctors with opioid-related crimes, and indicted nearly 7,000 people in opioid-related investigations.
Sessions has also said he will see that prosecutors prosecute every synthetic opioid case, no matter the size, in the districts with the highest overdose death rates.

We were asked to help this lovely family to add a loft conversion and a ground floor extension. We added to this three bedroom terrace house a loft conversion creating one bedroom with an en-suite shower room. We installed Velux roof light windows to the front elevation and a roof dormer window to rear. The ground floor extension to rear created an open plan kitchen dining area allowing the family to enjoy a spacious, light and bright living & eating area.


The Half-Assini District Police Command in the Jomoro District of the Western Region has impounded a total of 29 Motorbikes and Tricycles for various traffic offences.
They are made up of Twenty-six Motorbikes and three Tricycles.
The District Crime Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Charles Mensah, who disclosed this to the GNA in an interview at Half-Assini said the measure was to ensure sanity on the roads.
He said all the motorbikes were arrested in a swoop in Half-Assini and its environs.
The Crime Officer said while some of the bikes were unregistered, others overloaded their bikes.
Others he added were riding without licenses.
ASP Charles Mensah said during the swoop, some of the riders bolted away abandoning their Motorbikes adding that those arrested would be arraigned before Court for the appropriate sanctions.
He pointed out that, "If those who escaped failed to report their Motorbikes will get rotten at the Station".
The Crime Officer said the operation would however be temporarily suspended until those arrested were dealt with and the Police Car Park cleared of the impounded Motorbikes to pave way for new ones.

The Troggs byla anglická rocková skupina z 60. let 20. století, která se proslavila řadou hitů ve Velké Británii a Spojených státech, včetně jejich nejslavnější písně "Wild Thing" ("Divoška") Skupina pochází z města Andover v jižní Anglii.

Zakládající členové skupiny
 Reg Presley Ball
 Chris Britton
 Pete Staples
 Ronnie Bond

Historie skupiny
Skupina The Troggs vznikla v roce 1964. V roce 1965 podepsala smlouvu s manažerem skupiny The Kinks, Larry Pagem. Jejich první písní byla "Lost Girl", nejslavnější píseň "Wild Thing" autora Chipa Taylora se stala hitem a umístila se na 257. místě v anketě časopisu Rolling Stone o nejslavnější písně všech dob.

Skupina se na čas rozpadla v březnu 1969. První sólovou desku "Anything For You" nahrál Ronnie Bond v březnu 1969, v dubnu následovala deska Rega Presleye "Lucinda Lee". Chris Britton vydal album "As I Am" ve stejném roce.

Ještě téhož roku se dali dohromady, Staplese nahradil dřívější baskytarista skupiny Plastic Penny Tony Murray a v roce 1974 se skupina pokusila zopakovat úspěchy šedesátých let. Vydala cover verzi hitu skupiny Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" a reggae verzi písně "Wild Thing".
V roce 1991 skupina The Troggs nahrála album Athens Andover, 11 písní ve spolupráci s R.E.M.

Skupina koncertovala do roku 2012. Z původních členů zůstali dva - Reg Presley a Chris Britton (sólová kytara), nově skupinu doplnili Pete Lucas (baskytara) a Dave Maggs (bicí).
V lednu 2012 skupina ohlásila z důvodu nemoci Reg Presleye ukončení kariéry.

4. února 2013 Reg Presley zemřel ve věku 71 let ve svém rodném domě v Hampshire.

Vliv

The Troggs jsou vnímáni jako skupina, jejíž zvuk byl jednou z inspirací pro garážový a punk rock. Například skupina Buzzcocks zařadila cover verzi písně "I Can't Control myself" do repertoáru. Také Ramones se hlásí k tomu, že byli ovlivněni skupinou Troggs. MC5 upravili "I Want You" pro svá živá vystoupení a nahráli tuto píseň na albu "Kick out the Jams" pod jménem "I Want You Right Now".

Jimi Hendrix hrál "Wild Thing" během svého vystoupení v roce 1967 na Monterey Pop Festival, a představil ji jako britsko-americkou "národní hymnu" marihuany, která vyvrcholila spálením Hendrixovy kytary.

V roce 1990 byla prvním hitem skupiny Spiritualized coververze "Anyway That You Want Me". Píseň byla později použita ve filmu Já a ty a všichni ostatní.

Píseň "With a Girl Like You" byla použita pro taneční scénu ve filmu Flirting z roku 1991 s Nicole Kidman a Noah Taylorem.

V roce 1991 skupina R.E.M. zpívala "Love Is All Around" na svých živých vystoupeních a skupina ji vydala ve stejném roce jako B-stranu jejich singlu "Radio Song". Na MTV Unplugged jsou také akustické verze písně.

V roce 1994 přišla skupina Wet Wet Wet s cover verzí písně "Love Is All Around". Po uvedení ve filmu Čtyři svatby a jeden pohřeb uspěla na patnáct týdnů jako číslo jedna v hitparádě Velké Británie.

Upravená verze "Love Is All Around" byla použita ve filmu Láska nebeská z roku 2003.

Fridays are unofficially known as pizza days here at Kitchn, with nearly every Next Week's Meal Plan featuring some sort of pizza on the last day of the work week. To make it at home, in your standard oven, you'll ideally want a pizza stone or a pizza steel (although it's certainly not required). But there are a surprising amount of factors to consider when buying one: shape (we prefer rectangular; more on that later), handles versus no handles, maximum heat levels, and, most importantly, material.
The biggest factor here is material, so let's take a look.
Got it? Okay, now let's take a look to see what other experts and shoppers have to recommend. In true Kitchn fashion, we'll weigh in with our own two cents at the end.
FibraMent-D Home Oven Baking Stone
The Best Pizza Stone, According to Wirecutter
The folks at Wirecutter tested stones and steels (by making pizzas, croissants, and rustic breads), and ultimately decided that this stone was the best. They liked that it held enough heat to make multiple pizzas in a row and that its coarse ceramic surface resulted in crispy bottoms and puffy crusts. In fact, the surface was one of the biggest selling points, as it was one of the roughest of all the ceramic stones they tested. What does roughness have to do with it? The craggier surface means more channels for steam to escape, the testers noted. Testers also appreciated that this stone is available in a wide array of sizes: three rectangular and four round options.
The Original Baking Steel
The Best Baking Steel, According to Serious Eats
J. Kenji López-Alt rounded up his essential tools for pizza and listed this baking steel, saying it completely changed how he cooks pizza while inside. He points out that it has greater conductivity and higher volumetric heat capacity than a baking stone, which means it produces crispier pizza crusts with an even deeper char. And he loves that this will last a lifetime, while pizza stones tend to crack with use. (He used to go through about one stone a year, but this one persists!) Note: Orders are shipping with delays but should be picking up again this week.
Pizzacraft All-Purpose Baking Stone
The Best Baking Stone, According to Cook's Illustrated
The editors at Cook's Illustrated just updated their list because their long-standing favorite is no longer available. Their new pick is four inches longer than their previous winner. Although it should be noted that the rectangular stone is also now unavailable, but the square and round ones are for sale. Shape and size aside, the testers said the material cooked up pizza and bread nicely. In response to the concerns that pizza stones often crack, the editors said that, as long as you get a stone that can withstand heat of 500 degrees (or higher), you'll be good to go. This one is good up to 800 degrees.
The Bestselling Pizza Stone on Amazon
The best seller of all the pizza pans and stones on Amazon? This ceramic option from Heritage Products. It has a 4.5-star rating and more than 2,000 reviews, the majority of which are five stars. Satisfied shoppers note that it conducts heat extremely well, crisps up crusts nicely, and is priced super reasonably. It also comes with a free pizza cutter.
Kitchn's Thoughts on the Best Pizza Stone
At the end of the day, you can't go wrong with any of these options and it really is a matter of preference. (Some Kitchn editors don't even have a pizza stone — instead, we suggest using an inverted baking sheet!) If you want to start dabbling in homemade pizza but don't want to spend a lot of money, we like this stone, which is very similar to the pick from Cook's Illustrated. But if you make pizza at home a lot — or want to start — we suggest a steel. More specifically, the same steel Kenji likes. It really will last you forever, makes quick work of baking pizzas, and gets a crust char that will rival your favorite local pizza joint.
Related: 7 Things to Bake on Your Pizza Stone That Aren't Pizza
We leave our baking steel in the oven all the time and find that things like cookies, casseroles, and braises benefit from the even heat it radiates. We also prefer a rectangular shape instead of a round one, as a rectangle has a larger surface area and is nicer for when we're baking shaped loaves like baguettes and batards.
All that said, though, it's about to be grilling season! And we're huge fans of just throwing a pizza (even a frozen one!) directly on the grill — no stone or steel needed.

Wow, it's already Friday, and the weekend is getting to start. I don't know about you, but I feel like I have a thousand things to get done. Ok, maybe not literally a thousand. But quite a few. So, before I start to tackle those, I wanted to share a sweet card I made for a sketch challenge: Sketch Frenzy Friday. Yep, I designed this weeks sketch, and I hope you get a chance to play along with us!
I don't know if you have noticed, but I have selected to stick with a few colors for my sketches: pink and brown. I made the decision last year. I felt it was a way to distinguish my sketches from the other ladies in the group. If you noticed, they too, have stayed with the same few colors for the sketches that they design.
I know that it is not my typical style with a hundred layers. But, if you look closely you will see my style shine through!
I have a new love for machine stitching on my cards and other paper crafts. And this card is no exception. I did a machine zig zag stitch to the horizontal piece, and then a simple border stitch around the tag.
I wanted my card to be clean and simple. Or at least my version of clean and simple.
I used pink pirouette cardstock for the card base. And a piece of floral and gingham pattern papers from the Gingham Garden DSP collection. I actually cut the paper doily in half, and tucked the cut edge under the horizontal gingham piece.
The sentiment comes from the From My Heart stamp set. Love the different sentiments and fonts. Very pretty and easy to use.
I matted a piece of very vanilla card stock onto melon mambo cardstock, for the tag. I strung a piece of daffodil delight seam binding through the hole, and tied a vintage button to the seam binding with a piece of white bakers twine. I adhered the tag to the front of the card with foam tape.
I jazzed up the tag with a simple floral stamp, from the Kind and Cozy stamp set. I colored the stamp with different colors (markers) and stamped onto a very vanilla cardstock piece, then fussy cut the floral piece out with my detail scissors. I adhered the floral bunch to the tag with some foam tape.
I think my card is simple and sweet. What do you think?
I hope I have inspired you to play along with us over @ SFF. Let's see what you create with my sketch this week!

Q: .htaccess rewrite URL with a question mark "?" only for 1 specific URL I already started a topic some weeks ago.
But I got now a new problem that is very similar to the old problem: .htaccess rewrite URL with a question mark "?"
My aim was this URL:
/mysite/component/users/?view=registration

Rewrite into this new URL:
mysite/registration.html

My current .htaccess got this code:
RewriteBase /mysite

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^view=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^component/users/?$ %1.html? [R=301,L]

It worked very fine.
But then I noticed that this config concerns all URL that starts like this:
/mysite/component/users/?view=

For example this config would also concern an URL like this:
/mysite/component/users/?view=remind

This is what I don't want
I only want this URL rewritten:
localhost/mysite/component/users/?view=registration

A: RewriteBase /mysite

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^view=(registration)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^component/users/$ %1.html? [R=301,L]

If you want it to work only for registration then you can specify that instead a catchall regex.
Also keep in mind that since you had it with a global permanent redirect you may need to clear your browser cache or use a different browser to instantly see the changes.

I have been working closely with Ann for over 8 years, since I first opened our UK office 12 years ago. I get numerous emails and random telephone calls from many recruitment agencies that don't really seem to understand our business, or haven't taken the trouble to research what we do and adapt their approach accordingly. My experience with Green Shoots has been pleasingly different. Ann knows me, the type of skills we need and, equally important, the culture that we have here. This means that Ann rarely sends me CV's that are not relevant to me at the time or potentially for the future, so I know when she calls to offer me a candidate that they will tick all the boxes. Ann has also been extremely helpful whenever I'm looking for market data and trends and provides this as part of the service.
As a result, I have been more than happy to give Green Shoots the first call as soon as I have any recruitment requirements.
It's great to work with an agency that values a proper relationship, rather than what appears to be a numbers game with many other agencies.
"A polished and personal service"
Ann is everything a recruiter should be and sets a benchmark for the sector; friendly and people-focused with an extensive knowledge of the skills and experience needed for each role in the creative, marketing and digital industries. Green Shoots is an agency that goes the extra mile and it shows in every aspect of the process, from taking the time to analyse my CV and the employer's job description, to interview coaching and client / candidate liaison; every step was well-informed and smoothly managed. A polished and personal service - as a candidate, I couldn't have asked for more.
Finding someone a job is a difficult task. Finding someone their ''ideal job'' is nigh on impossible. So, I never envy a person in recruitment, especially one servicing the creative industry. It must take a character of strong will and compassion to balance that tightrope between corporate client and prissy, designer type. Me? I'm the prissy one - and Ann Downs? She's the former. A person who is calming, professional and most of all - ensures you never feel under pressure and genuinely wants the best for you.
Ann's character is personable, professional and caring - I can't really say that of other recruiters I have encountered in my career. Granted, they tick the professional box with aplomb, but Ann adds a personal touch that allows you to feel that if this wasn't the right role for you - you wouldn't be sitting in that interview chair. You feel care and attention has been put into the selection process for both you and the client.
In my dealings with Ann over the last few years, I have noticed the differences between her agency and many of her competitors. She must have something special. I sometimes notice our telephone conversations about any particular job last longer than 15 minutes - this is no cash grab, she really cares. She wants to understand how you feel, is the job right for you and always tries to balance out the options which best suit all parties concerned. You could never say you were shortchanged.
To summarise, Ann is the epitome of professionalism, support and care. Traits that are so rare when dealing with something as important as your next scary career move. Thanks Ann!
Ann delivered to us a first class support when we recently recruited with her. Working clearly out of a desire for a best fit for both us, the employer, and the employee, we got just that, with little fuss and much success. Working in such a personable way, we always felt safe in Ann's hands, and confident of a positive result. This confidence was not misplaced!
Because placing ads in targeted press to recruit staff was hit and miss, and expensive I looked for a recruitment agency with the skills and where-with-all to identify likely candidates. Ann proved to be thorough, reliable and easy to work with.
Ann's breadth of experience and knowledge in the marketing sector is amazing. Long-term relationships built over a number of years means Ann's insight into Midlands marketing is second-to-none. Personable, professional and able to identify future opportunities is Ann's great strength. A joy to work with.
Ann is fantastic, knowledgeable and highly committed to each individuals cause and prospects. By far and away the best person I have ever dealt with in her field. If I ever need such help/advice again in the future, she will be the first person I will call.
"Breath of Fresh air in the Recruitment Industry"
Ann is a breath of fresh air in the recruitment industry. Although she is a thorough professional, Ann also brings a real sense of warmth to her role as a specialist recruiter. She delves deep into what a candidate is actually looking for, not just salary etc but how the role will fit with lifestyle and aimed-for achievements.
Ann's approach is solid, with a long-term, rather than 'quick-fix' view, that surely benefits candidates and employers alike. This, combined with her personal touch is reflected in Ann's track record of recruiters and jobseekers returning each time they consider a new role.
I have worked with Ann on a number of assignments over the years. She is professional, personable and friendly and a pleasure to work with. In the projects that she has worked on for me, Ann has proved to be extremely knowledgeable of the market, very thorough and totally reliable. As an independent recruiter and unlike her major competitors, Ann is able to offer a personal service, taking the time necessary to thoroughly understand both the client's and candidate's requirements in order to affect a perfect match. I would recommend Ann to any client or candidate alike.
"The main thing that stood out for me, is that Ann was always genuinely interested in how each of my interviews went, and giving tips on how to prepare and improve for next time. She always made me see the bright side of things, even though the interview may not have gone so well. Other agencies try and give minimum help and then forget about contacting you when new opportunities arise (that was my experience anyway). Not Ann, we were always in contact talking about work and non-work related things which made things very casual and comfortable.
"Dotting the 'I's and crossing the 't's"
The major difference between Ann at Green Shoots and other recruitment agencies is quite simple – personal service and attention to detail.
There doesn't appear to be many agencies these days who actually interview candidates and match them to a job that is suitable for their experience, skill set and financial aspirations! A lot other recruitment agencies seem to have an 'Out the door' and 'Off my desk' mentally to be honest!
This is not the case with Ann at all – she carefully matches candidates to suitable positions, offers advice and keeps everyone in the process informed and up to date – plus I really like the way she feeds back both from the candidates point of view and also the prospective employer – dotting the 'I's and crossing the 't's.
I have seen Ann on various occasions about specific roles and always found her to be reliable and trustworthy, not always two words that can be used when describing recruitment consultants.
I would not hesitate to recommend using Ann from a personal or corporate perspective. Easy to work with.

A hand held tool using continuous sanding belts for sanding and smoothing flat surfaces with the additional capability to produce more uniformly rounded edges and corners of various work pieces. Its two piece construction comprises a flat base plate rotationally attached to the bottom side of a housing. The housing has along the length of its top side a deep channel into which a portion of a mounted sanding belt may be wedged, creating a concave sanding surface, that can then be used to produce more uniformly rounded edges and corners. The housing is made of a resilient, compressible material, while the base plate is of a rigid structure. The tool incorporates a way for placing and tensioning continuous sanding belts on it by simply swiveling the base plate that is attached to the bottom of the housing, which by such rotational positioning compresses the compressible material of the housing, or releases it, thus applying or releasing tension on a mounted belt.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/292,442 filed on May 21, 2001.
This invention relates to a hand held tool for holding and using a continuous sanding belt for sanding and smoothing operations, and for producing more uniform rounding of edges and corners of work surfaces.
Although sanding blocks and the like have long provided certain advantages over the unsupported use of sand paper, rigid flat blocks while good for use on flat surfaces are often less than ideal when used to create rounded edges and corners of work objects.
A review of the hand held devices available today indicates that a more accommodating tool for such rounding operations would be useful to craftsmen.
Consequently, the major objective of this invention has been to devise such a tool using continuous sanding belts that, in addition to sanding and smoothing flat surfaces, can provide a way to more uniformly round edges and corners of work pieces.
A second and useful objective of this invention has been to incorporate into the tool's design a unique but simple way to quickly place and remove a continuous sanding belt from the tool.
Further objects and advantages of my invention will become apparent from consideration of the drawings and ensuing descriptions.
FIG. 1 shows a side view of this invention minus the belt.
FIG. 2 shows a top view of tool minus the belt.
FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of a deep channel in the tool taken along line 3—3 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the tool with its base plate rotated to the open position, and a belt in position to be mounted.
FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the tool with belt loosely mounted having its base plate partially rotated back toward a closed, longitudinally aligned position with the sander housing.
FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the tool with its base plate closed, such that it is fully aligned with the sander housing. Also, the sanding belt is shown creased down into the channel of the housing.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the tool in action, rounding the edge of a work Piece.
DRAWING REFERENCE NUMBERS: 20 sander housing; 22 base plate; 24 rotational coupling means; 26 continuous sanding belt; 28 deep channel; 30 rounded ends; 32 rounded profile.
Referring to the figures a hand operated sanding tool is shown which may be grasped partly around its girth with one hand. It is composed of two parts, a single piece sander housing 20, and a rigid flat bottom base plate 22. The sander housing is made from a compressible, resilient, material.
When viewed from the side, as shown in FIG. 1, the sander housing has a rounded profile 32, over its length tapering down at both ends to meet the base plate whose overall dimensions are generally the same as the housing, where they contact each other. However, they do differ in that the base plate has rounded ends 30. Along the rounded profile of the top of the sander housing is a deep channel 28, centrally aligned, having its trough run parallel to the flat bottom of the housing.
Along the housings length both sidewalls are slightly tilted in toward each other, being closer together at the top of the housing, as shown in FIG. 3, thereby enhancing an easy grip of the tool.
The two parts of the sander are held closely together with a single, centrally located bolt, or equivalent, 24, passing up through both pieces and tightened so as to allow the base plate to be easily rotated.
Positioning and holding a continuous sanding belt on a sanding tool so it won't slip when being used requires some kind of a tensioning mechanism to be incorporated in the tools design. The following describes a simple but effective way to do this.
The bottom base plate of the tool, which is free to turn, is rotated about ninety degrees with respect to the upper sander housing portion, as seen in FIG. 4. When in this position a side view of the tool reveals that its overall circumferential distance, around which the belt contacts, is minimized. A belt may then be placed over the tool and tensioned by rotating the base plate back toward its original inline alignment with the upper housing, as seen in FIG. 5. When fully aligned, as seen in FIG. 6, the distance around the tool, in contact with the belt, will be maximized as will be the tension on the belt because the compressible resilient material of the housing, around which the belt is placed, is squeezed and in such a compressed state applies pressure to expand the belt thus creating a tension.
When the tool is used for rounding edges, as shown in FIG. 7, the action is to move the sander back and forth in a longitudinal direction. No careful sideways motions or sanding techniques are required, as with typical flat faced sanding devices.
In addition to flat surface sanding, the tool may be used to obtain more uniformly rounded edges offering an advantage over existing block sanders.
The belt tensioning mechanism is very simple. It only requires the use of the housing and the swiveling base plate to place and remove sanding belts.
While the base plate must be made of rigid material, the sander housing is made from a resilient, compressible material, such as lightweight foam whose exceptional lightweight makes it especially desirable when used for overhead work.
Although the preferred embodiment of the invention has been presented in the above descriptions these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but rather, as an exemplification of one preferred embodiment thereof. Other variations are possible, for example, the shape and extent of the channel in the sander housing or, the location of the rotational coupling means. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined, not by the embodiment(s) illustrated, but by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
said flat base plate having four corners that are sufficiently rounded, wherein said flat base plate does not extend beyond the overall length and width of said sander housing bottom, and a rotational coupling means for rotatingly coupling said base plate to said sander housing bottom, wherein rotational movement between said base plate and said housing allows mounting and dismounting of said sanding belt.
and a fastening means for rotatingly attaching said base plate to said sander housing bottom, such that said base plate can be rotated with respect to said sander housing bottom allowing for mounting and dismounting of said sanding belt.
a rotational coupling means by which said base plate is aligned and attached to the said bottom of said sander providing rotational motion there between allowing for mounting and dismounting of said sander belt.
4. The sander housing of claim 3, wherein said housing is made from resilient compressible material and said base plate is made of a rigid material.

Q: UITableView header and footer text doesn't get resized after dynamic text size change Is this a bug? I noticed that after a UITableView has been loaded, if I go to the system settings and change the dynamic text size, the headers/footers of the table view don't change to the new text size.
Everything else updates fine (i.e. the label text sizes inside the cells). Calling reloadData on the table view doesn't fix the issue. The only time the header/footer text sizes are correct is when the table view is first loaded.
Btw, I am not using custom views for the table view headers/footers. I'm just setting the text using the tableView:titleForHeaderInSection: and tableView:titleForFooterInSection: methods of UITableViewDataSource

As the Edgewater Historical Society begins its second year, we are looking forward to the challenges ahead. Our Board of Directors has started a WISH LIST in the hopes that anyone able to help will get involved.
Many area residents have donated memorabilia and research materials but the development of our collection awaits a permanent home. In the meantime, we are working with the Edgewater Community Council, the North Lakeside Cultural Center, the Edgewater Branch Library and the Swedish American Museum to secure space.
We hope to begin a more thorough search for historic photographs of Edgewater this year. With the recent contribution of $500 from the Edgewater Community Council, we can now have reproductions made for EHS and return the originals to their owners. Once copies are procured, we will be in a position to make more photos available for research and exhibits in our community. Please contact me if you are willing to let us copy any old photos of Edgewater streets, buildings and people.
We recently received a wonderful donation of some 1930s photos of the area from Pearl Plensener. She also contributed a postcard of the original Church of the Atonement, used as a Sunday school attendance record for her mother. Thanks, Pearl!
Photographing the changes in the Edgewater scene is another task before us. We need a photographer who is willing to keep track of some of these changes as Edgewater goes through the construction process on some of our commercial and residential streets. We have some funds available for this.
Our first annual meeting was a great success and we wish we had recorded it. John Simmons's slide show of Chicago postcards set everyone to talking. Even John was surprised by the stories! The celebration was "top drawer" thanks to the elegant cake donated by the Swedish Bakery, 5348 N. Clark. Mr. George Stanton, former chef of the Edgewater Beach Hotel, is the owner. His son is the artist who drew the fantastic marzipan copy of our logo for the cake!
And speaking of gastronomic pleasures, how about a picnic in July? It's in the planning stages for July 15 or 22 at Berger Park. Besides enjoying baskets of homemade goodies, we'll be imagining the lakeside life style of the Sheridan Road homeowner years ago. We will also tour the site and solicit ideas for a suitable marker to commemorate the work and planning of John L. Cochran, who developed Edgewater and gave it its name. Watch for a flyer at the end of June.
House Tour plans continue now that the date has been set for September 17. JoAnn Varga Holmes and the House Tour Committee are busy coordinating what needs to be done between now and then. If anyone is interested and available to do some research at City Hall during his/her lunch hour, please give JoAnn a call.
And if you joined EHS last spring, please remember that membership renewals are due. We hope we can count on your continued support and energy.
Hope to see you at the picnic!

Q: Emacs-like navigation to beginning/end of sentence in text I think it is a really big advantage of macOS over other operating systems that it supports a lot of Emacs navigating keyboard shortcuts out of the box. (^ ControlP, ^ ControlN, ^ ControlK, ^ ControlY, you name it...)
One shortcut that I am really missing is the capacity to move to the beginning or end of a sentence in a text (in Emacs this is MetaA/MetaE). I could not find a substitute yet to emulate this behavior in macOS.
If someone would know a possibility how to do that I would be really happy!

The Bindal are an Indigenous Australian people of the state of North Queensland.

Language
Bindal (Bendalgubba, Nyawaygi) is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of the Pama–Nyungan language family. Bowern suggests that it might have been a Maric language. Gavan Breen has classified it as one of the Lower Burdekin languages yet presumes that one of two Lower Burdekin languages, which he concluded were not Maric, is Bindal. Only some confused word lists survive bearing on Bindal.

Country
The Bindal's coastal reaches lay around the Burdekin River's outlet into the Coral Sea at Upstart Bay, running northwards as far as Cape Cleveland and inland to the Leichhardt Range. They were the indigenous people of Ayr. Norman Tindale estimated the overall extent of their lands at about .
