\section{Introduction}
Wilson operators and 't Hooft operators constitute important observables in non-abelian Yang-Mills theory in $d = 3 + 1$ dimensions. In this paper, we will consider the gauge group
\begin{equation}
G \simeq SU (N) / C ,
\end{equation}
where $C \simeq \mathbb Z_N$ denotes the center of $SU (N)$. The basic Wilson operator $W (\gamma)$ associated with a closed spatial curve $\gamma$ is then defined as
\begin{equation}
W (\gamma) = \frac{1}{N} {\rm Tr} \left( P \exp \int_\gamma A \right) , \label{W}
\end{equation}
where $A$ is the connection one-form, $P$ denotes path ordering along $\gamma$, and ${\rm Tr}$ is the trace in the fundamental representation of $SU (N)$. The operator $W (\gamma)$ is invariant under gauge transformations that can be continuosly deformed to the identity transformation. Under a general gauge transformation, $W (\gamma)$ is multiplied by an $N$-th root of unity determined by the class in $\pi_1 (G) \simeq \mathbb Z_N$ of (the restriction to $\gamma$ of) the gauge transformation.

The definition of the corresponding 't~Hooft operator $T (\gamma)$ is less explicit \cite{'tHooft}:  On the complement of $\gamma$ in space, $T (\gamma)$ is given by a $G$ valued gauge transformation, whose restriction to another closed curve that links $\gamma$ once represents the image of the generator $1$ of $\mathbb Z_N$ under the isomorphism $\mathbb Z_N \simeq \pi_1 (G)$. Such a transformation has a well-defined action on all the fields of the theory, but is obviously singular at the locus of $\gamma$. By deforming the transformation over a tubular neighbourhood of $\gamma$, we regularize it to a smooth transformation defined over all of space-time.  The precise form of the regularization is of no consequence for the arguments of the present paper; the important point is that the resulting field configuration is smooth everywhere. The regularized transformation is however not a gauge transformation, so the 't Hooft operator $T (\gamma)$ thus defined has a non-trivial action also on gauge invariant states.

This definition of the 't~Hooft operator in terms of a singular gauge transformation is ambigious in the sense that it allows for the multiplication of $T (\gamma)$ by a phase-factor, which may be an arbitrary gauge-invariant functional of the fields of the theory. It may even be impossible to give a globally valid prescription for fixing this ambiguity. Indeed, it has been stated in several papers (see for example \cite{Bianchi-Green-Kovacs}\cite{Cachazo-Seiberg-Witten}\cite{Kapustin}), that under a smooth increase $\theta \rightarrow \theta + 2 \pi$ of the theta angle, $T (\gamma)$ undergoes a monodromy
\begin{equation}
T (\gamma) \rightarrow T^\prime (\gamma) , \label{monodromy}
\end{equation}
where the new 't~Hooft operator $T^\prime (\gamma)$ behaves as the product $T (\gamma) W (\gamma)$; it could be called a Wilson-'t Hooft operator. (On the other hand, the explicit expression (\ref{W}) shows that the corresponding monodromy of the Wilson operator $W (\gamma)$ is trivial; $W (\gamma) \rightarrow W (\gamma)$.) This monodromy of operators associated with closed spatial curves is analogous to  the Witten effect \cite{Witten78}, which amounts to an increase of the electric charge of a magnetically charged dyonic particle state as $\theta \rightarrow \theta + 2 \pi$ continuously.

However, we are not aware of any published proof of the monodromy transformation (\ref{monodromy}). The aim of the present paper is to provide such a proof, based on a topological obstruction that prevents a global definition of $T (\gamma)$. The obstruction will only be present if the curve $\gamma$ represents a non-trivial homotopy class. We will therefore consider the theory on a spatial three-manifold $X$ of the form
\begin{equation}
X \simeq S^1 \times \mathbb R^2 ,
\end{equation}
and let $\gamma$ wind once around the $S^1$ factor of $X$. However, even if there is no topological obstruction against a global definition of the 't~Hooft operator if we take the spatial manifold as $\mathbb R^3$, it is certainly natural to assume a similar monodromy transformation also in this case.

In the next section, we will review the interpretation of the 't~Hooft operator $T( \gamma)$ in terms of the topology of principal $G$ bundles over space.  In section three, we will consider the topology of the group of gauge transformations. A gauge transformation may be winded in two different ways: along the curve $\gamma$, or over three-space as a whole. As discussed above, gauge transformations that are winded along $\gamma$ have a non-trivial action on the Wilson operator. The transformation properties under gauge transformations that are winded over three-space as a whole are described by the theta angle. In section four, we will show how the interplay of these effects leads to the monodromy property (\ref{monodromy}).

\section{'t~Hooft operators}
We begin by reviewing the classification of principal $G \simeq SU (N) / C$ bundles over a low-dimensional compact connected space $B$. This follows from the first few homotopy groups of $G$:
\begin{equation}
\pi_i (G ) \simeq \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 0,  & i = 0 \cr \mathbb Z_N, & i = 1 \cr 0, & i = 2 \cr \mathbb Z, & i = 3 . \end{array} \right.
\end{equation}
Thus, for a one-dimensional base space $B$, all $G$ bundles are trivial. For a two- or three-dimensional $B$, they are classified by a characteristic class
\begin{equation}
w_2 \in H^2 (B, \mathbb Z_N) ,
\end{equation}
known as the second Stiefel-Whitney class in mathematics or the discrete magnetic flux in physics. For a four-dimensional $B$ there is an additional characteristic class
\begin{equation}
c_2 \in H^4 (B, \mathbb Q) ,
\end{equation}
known as the second Chern class or the instanton number. It is related to the second Stiefel-Whitney class $w_2$ as
\begin{equation}
c_2 = \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{1}{N} - 1 \right) \bar{w}_2 \cup \bar{w}_2 {\rm \; mod \;} H^4 (B, \mathbb Z) , \label{nonintegrality}
\end{equation}
where $\bar{w}_2 \in H^2 (B, \mathbb Z)$ denotes an arbitrary lifting of $w_2$ to an integral class. (An instructive proof of this relation can be found in e.g. \cite{Vafa-Witten}.) In higher dimensions, there are further invariants, but they will not be needed in the present  paper.

Consider now a state of finite energy in Yang-Mills theory with gauge group $G$ on the spatial manifold $X \simeq S^1 \times \mathbb R^2$. As we go to infinity in the $\mathbb R^2$ factor, all physical data must approach their vacuum values. We may therefore add the points at infinity, thereby replacing $X$ by the compact space
\begin{equation}
X^\prime \simeq S^1 \times S^2 .
\end{equation}
However, while a $G$ bundle $P$ over $X$ is necessarily trivial (since $H^2 (X, \mathbb Z_N) \simeq 0$), this is not so for a $G$ bundle $P^\prime$ over $X^\prime$; according to the previous paragraph, such bundles are classified by a characteristic class $w_2^\prime \in H^2 (X^\prime, \mathbb Z_N) \simeq \mathbb Z_N$.

It is now easy to understand the action of an 't~Hooft operator $T (\gamma)$ associated with a closed curve $\gamma$ that winds once around the $S^1$ factor of $X$ or $X^\prime$: When acting on a state $\left| \psi \right>$ with a definite value $w_2^\prime$ of the second Stiefel-Whitney class, it produces another state $| \tilde{\psi} > = T (\gamma) \left| \psi \right>$ for which the second Stiefel-Whitney class takes the value $\tilde{w}_2^\prime$ given by
\begin{equation}
\tilde{w}_2^\prime = w_2^\prime + 1.
\end{equation}
(In this formula, we identify a class in  $H^2 (X^\prime, \mathbb Z_N)$ with its image under the  isomorphism $H^2 (X^\prime, \mathbb Z_N) \simeq \mathbb Z_N$.)

\section{Large gauge transformations}
This section is largely inspired by \cite{Witten02}.

Let $P^\prime$ be a $G$ bundle over $X^\prime \simeq S^1 \times S^2$, characterized by its value $w_2^\prime \in H^2 (X^\prime, \mathbb Z_N)$ of the second Stiefel-Whitney class, as described in the previous section. We let ${\cal G}$ denote the group of gauge transformations, i.e. the group of bundle automorphisms of $P^\prime$. It is not connected; the component of ${\cal G}$ containing the identity transformation is a normal subgroup, which we denote as ${\cal G}_0$. Physical states must be invariant under ${\cal G}_0$, but they need not be invariant under all of ${\cal G}$. Their transformation properties may be given  by an arbitrary character of the quotient group of homotopy classes of gauge transformations
\begin{equation}
\Lambda \simeq {\cal G} / {\cal G}_0 .
\end{equation}

We will need to understand the structure of the discrete abelian group $\Lambda$. Let $\Lambda_\gamma \simeq \pi_1 (G) \simeq \mathbb Z_N$ be the group of homotopy classes of gauge transformations for the trivial bundle over the spatial curve $\gamma$ that is obtained by restricting the bundle $P^\prime$ to $\gamma$. Let $\Lambda_0 \simeq \pi_3 (G) \simeq \mathbb Z$ be the subgroup of $\Lambda$ consisting of homotopy classes of gauge transformations of $P^\prime$ that are trivial when restricted to $\gamma$. We thus have a short exact sequence
\begin{equation}
0 \rightarrow \Lambda_0 \stackrel{i}{\rightarrow} \Lambda \stackrel{r}{\rightarrow} \Lambda_\gamma \rightarrow 0 ,
\end{equation}
where $i$ and $r$ are the obvious inclusion and restriction maps respectively. In other words, the group $\Lambda$ is an extension of $\Lambda_\gamma \simeq \mathbb Z_N$ by $\Lambda_0 \simeq \mathbb Z$. To describe this extension precisely, we choose a $\lambda \in  \Lambda$ such that $r (\lambda)$ equals the image of the generator $1$ of  $\mathbb Z_N$ under the isomorphism $\mathbb Z_N \simeq \Lambda_\gamma$. Since $\lambda^N \in {\rm \; ker \;} r$ and the sequence is exact,  $\lambda^N \in {\rm \; Im \;} i$, so
\begin{equation}
\lambda^N = \Omega^k ,
\end{equation}
where $\Omega$ is the generator of $\Lambda_0 \simeq \mathbb Z$ and $k$ is some integer, which depends on the choice of $\lambda$. (Here we have switched to a multiplicative rather than additive notation for the group operations.)

To compute the integer $k$, we consider the four-dimensional space
\begin{equation}
Y \simeq S^1 \times X^\prime \simeq S^1 \times S^1 \times S^2 \label{Y} .
\end{equation}
(As will become clear, this auxiliary space should not be thought of as a space-time.) We construct two $G$ bundles $P^\lambda$ and $P^\Omega$ over $Y$ by first extending the given bundle $P$ over the cylinder $I \times X^\prime$, where $I$ is an interval, and then gluing the ends together with gluing data $\lambda$ or $\Omega$ respectively. We then have that
\begin{equation}
N c_2^\lambda = k c_2^\Omega ,
\end{equation}
where $c_2^\lambda$ and $c_2^\Omega$ are the second Chern classes of the bundles $P^\lambda$ and $P^\Omega$ respectively. The class $c_2^\Omega \in H^4 (Y, \mathbb Q)$ is given by the image of the element $1$ of $\mathbb Q$ under the isomorphism $\mathbb Q \simeq H^4 (Y, \mathbb Q)$. According to (\ref{nonintegrality}), the class $c_2^\lambda \in H^4 (Y, \mathbb Q)$ is determined modulo $H^4 (Y, \mathbb Z)$ by the second Stiefel-Whitney class $w_2^\lambda \in H^2 (Y, \mathbb Z_N)$ of $P^\lambda$. The latter class is determined by its restrictions to the factors $S^1 \times S^1$ and $S^2$ on the right hand side of (\ref{Y}). The restriction of $w_2^\lambda$ to $S^1 \times S^1$ is in fact given by $r (\lambda) \in H^2 (S^1 \times S^1, \mathbb Z_N) \simeq \Lambda_\gamma$. The restriction of $w_2^\lambda$ to $S^2$ equals the second Stiefel-Whitney class $w_2^\prime \in H^2 (S^2, \mathbb Z_N) \simeq H^2 (X^\prime, \mathbb Z_N)$ of $P^\prime$. Thus
\begin{equation}
w_2^\lambda = p_1^*(r (\lambda)) + p_2^* (w_2^\prime) ,
\end{equation}
where $p_1$ and $p_2$ are the projections from $Y$ to $S^1 \times S^1$ and $S^2$ respectively. A small calculation now gives
\begin{equation}
c_2^\lambda = \frac{1}{N} p_1^* (r(\lambda)) \cup p_2^* (w_2^\prime)  {\rm \; mod \;} H^4 (Y, \mathbb Z) .
\end{equation}
Putting everything together, we find that $k = w_2^\prime {\rm \; mod \;} N$, where $w_2^\prime$ denotes the image of the second Stiefel-Whitney class of $P^\prime$ under the isomorphism $H^2 (X^\prime, \mathbb Z_N) \simeq \mathbb Z_N$. (Since $\lambda$ is only defined modulo $\Omega$, we can only determine $k$ modulo $N$.)

In summary, we have found that the group $\Lambda$ is generated by the elements $\lambda$ and $\Omega$, subject to the relation
\begin{equation}
\lambda^N = \Omega^{w_2^\prime {\rm \; mod \;} N} . \label{relation}
\end{equation}

\section{The monodromy}
A physical state $\left| \psi \right>$ is characterized by a certain value $w_2^\prime$ of the second Stiefel-Whitney class, as described in section two. Its transformation properties under the discrete abelian group $\Lambda$ described in the previous section can be specified by the eigenvalues $e^{i \theta}$ and $e^{i \phi}$ of the generators $\Omega$ and $\lambda$ respectively:
\begin{eqnarray}
\Omega \left| \psi \right> & = & e^{i \theta} \left| \psi \right> \cr
\lambda \left| \psi \right> & = & e^{i \phi} \left| \psi \right> .
\end{eqnarray}
As the notation suggests, $\theta$ is indeed the theta angle parameter of Yang-Mills theory. The relation (\ref{relation}) implies that
\begin{equation}
e^{i \phi N} = e^{i (w_2^\prime + n N) \theta}
\end{equation}
for some integer $n$. If we follow a particular solution to this equation under a continuous increase $\theta \rightarrow \theta + 2 \pi$, the eigenvalue $e^{i \phi}$ undergoes the monodromy
\begin{equation}
e^{i \phi} \rightarrow e^{i \phi} e^{2 \pi i w_2^\prime / N} .
\end{equation}

Acting with an 't~Hooft operator $T (\gamma)$ on $\left| \psi \right>$ produces another state $| \tilde{\psi} > =T (\gamma) \left| \psi \right>$ with the value $\tilde{w}_2^\prime = w_2^\prime + 1$ of the second Stiefel-Whitney class. Repeating the above argument, we find that the corresponding eigenvalue $e^{i \tilde{\phi}}$ of the generator $\lambda$ undergoes the monodromy
\begin{equation}
e^{i \tilde{\phi}} \rightarrow e^{i \tilde{\phi}} e^{2 \pi i (w_2^\prime + 1) / N} .
\end{equation}

The different monodromy properties of the two states mean that the 't~Hooft operator must undergo a monodromy
\begin{equation}
T (\gamma) \rightarrow T^\prime (\gamma) .
\end{equation}
The quotient $\hat{W} (\gamma) = T^\prime (\gamma) T^{-1} (\gamma)$ can be characterized by its transformation property under $\lambda$:
\begin{equation}
\lambda  \hat{W} (\gamma) \lambda^{-1} = e^{2 \pi i / N} \hat{W} (\gamma) .
\end{equation}
But this agrees with the transformation property of the Wilson operator $W (\gamma)$ in the fundamental representation of $SU (N)$ as defined in (\ref{W}). So although the present arguments do not give an exact description of $T^\prime (\gamma)$ (which would depend on the precise prescription for regularizing the 't~Hooft operators in the vicinity of $\gamma$), we can conclude that $T^\prime (\gamma)$ indeed transforms in the same way as the product $T (\gamma) W (\gamma)$ under gauge transformations.

As the first phase of a series of monitoring and modeling studies of Iranian coastal areas, Chabahar Bay, located on the north coast of the Gulf of Oman, was under a comprehensive monitoring and modeling study in 2006-2007. The study included an extensive one-year field measurements program to help understanding the ongoing processes in the bay and provide inputs or boundary conditions and validation data for numerical models. An analysis of the collected data and the results of three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic numerical modeling are described in this paper. 3D numerical model of MISED was employed to provide a full spatial picture of bay-wide circulations and its sensitivity to environmental factors such as tides and winds. MISED simulations were completed for the months of February and March 2007 and the results were compared with the measurements. It was observed that the simulated tidal currents favorably agree with the measured data at the selected stations. Particle tracking simulations using a Lagrangian Particle Tracking Model showed that the combination of wind-driven and tidal currents generates a self-flushing function that tends to carry suspended material to outside of the bay. The combination of winds and tides has thus a very important assimilative function for water quality of Chabahar Bay.

Политическа философия е изучаването на държавата, града, управлението, политиката, свободата, справедливостта, собствеността, правата, закона и прилагането му от властите: какви са те, защо (и дори дали) са необходими, кое прави едно управление легитимно, какви права и свободи трябва да защитава и защо, каква форма трябва да приема и защо, какво е законът, какви задължения гражданите дължат на легитимното управление, ако има, и кога може легитимно то да бъде свалено от власт – ако въобще. В един популярен, народен смисъл терминът "политическа философия" често се отнася до общия възглед, специфична етика, политически вярвания или поведение относно политиката, които не принадлежат непременно "технически" на някоя дисциплина от философията.

Политическата философия може също така да бъде разбрана чрез анализирането ѝ през перспективите на метафизиката, епистемологията и аксиологията.

Три основни въпроси на политическата философия са политическата икономика при която правата на собственост са дефинирани и достъпът до капитала е регулиран, нуждите за правосъдие в правораздаването и наказанието, и правилата на истината и доказателството, които определят отсъжданията в правото.

История на политическата философия

Античност

Западна философия
Като академична дисциплина, Западната политическа философия води своето начало от древна Гърция, когато градовете-полиси експериментирали широко с различни видове държавни уредби-монархия, тирания, олигархия, аристокрация и демокрация. Една от изключително важните първи разработки за политическата философия, е тази на Платон в "Държавата" както и последвалата "Политика" на Аристотел. Римската политическа философия била силно повлияна от Стоицизма, затова и римският политик Цицерон писал за политическата философия, като ясно излагал тезите на Стоицизма.

Философия на Далечния изток
Самостоятелно, Конфуций, Менций и Мо Дзъ, както и легалисткото училище в Китай и Законите на Ману, и Чанакя в Индия – всички се опитвали да намерят средства за възстановяване на политическата общност и нейната стабилност: последните трима се опитвали чрез култивирането на силата и налагането на дисциплина. В Индия, Чанакя и неговата Арташастра, разработили виждане, което напомня на Легалисткото движение и Николо Макиавели. Древните Китайска и Индийска цивилизации наподобяват на Гръцката древна цивилизация, по това, че една единна култура е разделена на враждуващи полиси. В случая с Китай, философите се чувствали задължени да се изправят пред социалния и политическия упадък и да търсят решение за кризата, като се противопоставят на цялата цивилизация. Конфуцианското училище винаги е разглеждало политическите проблеми въз основа на етиката, докато в други училища, изучаващи политическата мисъл, от които само в Китай е имало 12, не е било задължително да включват етиката при разглеждането на политическата философия. Въпреки реалното съществуване на такива политически училища, все още има западни учени, които отказват да приемат, че има нещо подобно като Китайска политическа философия. Китайският народ в крайна сметка приема Конфуцианската философия като единствен пазител на политическия дух.

Средновековна християнска политическа мисъл
Свети Августин (Аврелий Августин, Августин Блажени или Августин от Хипон)

Ранната християнска философия на Августин от Хипон била най-общо пренаписване на Платон в контекста на християнската религия. Основната промяна, която християнството донесло, била смекчаване на ролята на Стоицизма и теорията за справедливост, характерни за Римския свят, и подчертаване на ролята на държавата във въвеждането на милосърдието като морален модел. Августин проповядвал, че човек не бил член на собствената си държава, а гражданин по-скоро на "Божия град". Произведението на Августин "За божия град"("De civitate Dei") е важна за този период творба.

Според него Църквата, е общността от вярващи, които са достойни за земен живот и живеят в любяща близост, защото така им е възложено, но не заради самия земен живот. Божият град е земната, времевата антиципация на единството на душите с Бога. За разлика от нея светската държава е обвързана с този свят и затова е преходна. Когато се появява "За града Божи", източните готи вече са плячкосали Рим и са доказали, че Римската империя също има своя край, както някога е станало с Вавилонското царство. Държавата е преходна, учи Августин, Църквата обаче не е – до края на историята. Разликата, която Августин прави между Божия и Светския град е от решаващо значение за историята на Западна Европа. Оттогава църква и държава стават две отделни институции. Светската култрура може до известна степен да се развива независимо от църковната, а църковната независимо от светската. В Източната църква, там където Римската империя надживява Августин с повече от хиляда години, тази разлика между църква и държава никога не е съществувала.

Тома Аквински (Тома от Аквино – ок. 1225 – 1274)

Тома Аквински е най-великият учител на средновековието, което разбира света като безкрайна йерархия от най-нисшето същество до върха, където стои Бог. Критерий за мястото на всяко същество в тази йерархия е степента на неговата "същност". Голямата заслуга на Тома Аквински е поставянето на теологията на научна основа. За изясняването на тайните на вярата прилага принципа на "естествения разум" и философските възгледи на Аристотел. След като обявява природата за добре управлявана от Бога, Тома потвърждава необходимостта от изследването и в духа на Аристотеловата традиция. Като казва "да" на природата, той се отвръща от традиционната за църквата враждебност към тленното. Душата се стреми към съвършенство в Бога, обаче и тялото е дадено от Бога. Богоугодни и затова "естествени" за Тома са и обществото, правото и държавата. Той приписва на държавата служебна роля спрямо църквата, но при него няма и помен от Августиновото презрение към "Световния град" от гледна точка на "града Божи". За него е естествено обществото да е разделено на Горе и Долу, на владетели и слуги, но той не признава произвола на властниците и бунтовете на слугуващите. Също като Аристотел той залага на златната среда във всичко отнасящо се до земния живот

"Mr Griffis is a highly accomplished writer indeed; he is able to convey thoughts and personalities very well and hold the reader's attention. "
First an explanation; when I first met the characters Robert Fitzgerald and Charlotte Braninov it was in the first two books of a trilogy under the umbrella title of 'By the Hands of Men'. That was about two years ago and since then, the author has 're-branded' the series and split the original two books into five. They are, however, essentially the same, and this is the final volume of whichever version of the series you choose to read. And I do urge you to read the previous volumes, for this one doesn't sit too well as a standalone individual tale. Any back story supplied by the author in this volume is fairly sparse and may be a little confusing in places to the new reader as a place to start the series.
So, a very brief 'catch up'. Robert Fitzgerald was a young Lieutenant at the trenches in WWI, Charlotte Braninov nursed him back to health after he was wounded, they fell in love. But Robert was sent back to England, found himself assigned to Singapore and made his way to Africa where he became a veterinary surgeon; Charlotte also went to England, but returned to her native Russia where she suffered greatly at the hands of the Bolsheviks. She eventually escaped, along with a young child, Zlata.
At the beginning of this final volume, Robert is preparing to leave Africa with his friends Orlando and Deidre Pyle, Their intention is to take up an old offer of employment from Marion Hurst, daughter of William Randolph Hearst. But they are unable to make contact and, stranded in Hollywood, they take odd jobs where they can, Robert finding himself helping out at a failing zoo that supplies animals for motion pictures. Along the way he becomes friends with David Niven and, principally, Errol Flynn.
Meanwhile, Charlotte and Zlata have also come to America, by virtue of Charlotte's continued friendship with one of her nursing colleagues, Kathleen, who has married her American farmer boyfriend, Hector. There they stay for a few years before poor harvests and the Depression see them moving to Hollywood where Zlata has become a stunt rider for one of the major studios. Robert and Charlotte meet for the first time in a couple of decades on the set of The Charge of the Light Brigade.
Mr Griffis is a highly accomplished writer indeed; he is able to convey thoughts and personalities very well and hold the reader's attention. I was particularly impressed with the way he handled that very awkward first meeting proper between Robert and Charlotte. Some readers may find his frequent habit of using parentheses a little off-putting, but I found them to fit in well with his conversational style and, in some cases, almost conspiratorial.
This is a large book and it is almost inevitable that some typographical errors would creep in. There were rather a few more than I would have liked to have seen and some of those occurred in the italicised sections where an 'a' seems to have been inserted instead of a 'd' on a few occasions. This should not reflect on the author, but perhaps on either the editor or the typesetter.
I have no hesitation in recommending this book but with the proviso that it is advisable to read the previous volumes first.
"Dodds' writing is exceptional: he draws in his reader gently, almost subtly, and I found myself reading on long after I should have put the book down each evening."
In the year 1490, Brother Jacomo of Seville is sent to Brabant as a Papal Inquisitor. He loses no time in condemning a man to be burned alive in the main square of Den Bosch. It is a public warning: be sure your sins will find you out. But who is without sin in Den Bosch? Not the local abbess, nor the local artist, Jerome (known to us as Hieronymus Bosch), nor his wife and best friend, who share a mortal sin, nor his serving maid. Nor, as it turns out, the Inquisitor himself, who takes far too much pleasure in devising hideous torture devices, which he insists the local blacksmith makes against his will.
Writing in the present tense, Robert Dodds has taken the creation of a triptych depicting Man's Fall from Grace for his canvas and created in turn a compelling read. Each character is real, each has his or her good points and weaknesses. Even the foul-minded Inquisitor has a backstory to suggest how and why he has become the man to disrupt and ruin forever the convivial peace of a provincial town.
The setting is Hieronymus Bosch's home town, but it could be any small town in Northern Europe, for this is the late 15th century when ordinary folk believe utterly in heaven and hell, and that they must do all they can to lighten their burden for the Day of Judgement. The story opens and unfolds in a quiet fashion befitting the location, yet it is a page-turner, and by no means predictable. The artist's wife and friend and servant share a not uncommon secret, but even that does not play out as one might expect.
Dodds' writing is exceptional: he draws in his reader gently, almost subtly, and I found myself reading on long after I should have put the book down each evening.
The Garden of Earthly Delights is skilfully crafted, well-written, informative and enjoyable: it is in every way a Discovered Diamond.
"The story is told from the points of view of several characters and builds until they all start to brush against each other, and then the fun begins."
This is one of the rare books we review that isn't historical but is just a step or two away, and will be of interest to readers who enjoy novels set in the Far East. It is somewhere between fantasy and alternative history as it is set in a land that is very familiar if you know south-east Asia.
The Gates of Stone referred to in the title of the book are two fortresses opposite each other across a strait which allows access to the Laut Besar, an area of land and a wide sea that is approximately where south-east Asia is today. The northern-most fortress sits at the tip of Manchatka, or the Malay Peninsula, and the southern fort is on what would be Sumatra, or Sumbu in Macallan's world. Yawa to the south is Java, with Taman being Bali, more Indonesian islands and Borneo. You get the picture, and if you don't, Macallan supplies a useful map.
The story is told from the points of view of several characters and builds until they all start to brush against each other, and then the fun begins.
Katerina is a dispossessed, ambitious queen who is seeking to regain her Ice Bear throne by taking over the Laut Besar. Farhan is aboard a ship captained by his friend doing as he's told in return for a reward that will pay off his vast debts. Mangku seeks the Seven Keys in an attempt to re-establish the native people of the Laut Besar and destroy the interlopers, who have been there for centuries. And Jun just wants to return to the home that was destroyed when the sorcerer Mangku stole his father's magic sword. None of their plans goes quite as they expected and each faces challenges they could never have imagined.
This is a triumph of a novel. It is fast-paced and perfectly judged, the kind that pits someone you can't like against someone worse and then messes with your sympathies. There are characters you want to disdain but can't and moments you want to shout 'Yes!' even if to yourself on public transport.
Macallan has created a world of myths and legend, religions that seem familiar and others that are strange, a fantasy with one foot in the real world, a world where guns and swords overlap and blades are far from obsolete. Fresh and different because of the setting and the blending of Japanese, Malay, Chinese and Indonesian cultures into something new, this novel is very definitely a novel and without the set boundaries of history, the author is flying.

Canadian Minister Jason Kenney advised Canadians and newcomers to inform themselves to avoid becoming victims of immigration fraud during March, the Fraud Prevention Month in Canada.
"I have heard stories from victims across the country that have been left emotionally and financially devastated because of immigration fraud," said Kenney.
CIC is combating marriage fraud. A video features real victims of marriage fraud and explains how others can avoid becoming victims. To watch the video or view the ad campaign, visit www.cic.gc.ca/fraud.
In the past, the focus has also been on informing Canadians about unauthorized immigration consultants who guarantee visas or high-paying jobs for a fee, taking large sums of money with no tangible results for the prospective immigrant. To learn more about unregistered consultants, visit www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/representative/index.asp.
These initiatives seek to improve awareness of the dangers of citizenship and immigration fraud and equip people with the knowledge to avoid becoming victims of fraud.
Cracking down on unscrupulous immigration consultants. In June 2011, Canada introduced legislation to designate the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) as the new regulator of immigration consultants. All immigration consultants must be in good standing with the ICCRC in order to practice. Since June 2011, CIC has referred a number of cases to the ICCRC for investigation and disciplinary action.
Deterring marriages of convenience. The government has implemented changes to deter people from using marriages of convenience to come to Canada. As of October 25, 2012, sponsored spouses or partners are subject to a conditional permanent residence measure and must live in a legitimate relationship with their sponsor for two years from the day they become a permanent resident. The government also introduced a sponsorship bar requiring sponsored spouses or partners to wait five years from the day they are granted permanent residence status in Canada before they can sponsor a new spouse or partner themselves.
Combating residency fraud. The government is cracking down on residency fraud and has uncovered over 11,000 cases where individuals from over 100 countries lied about their presence in Canada to keep their permanent resident status or to become a Canadian citizen. Once news spread of the investigation, 1,800 citizenship applications were voluntarily withdrawn by the applicants themselves. The government has also created a citizenship fraud tip line. Canadians can contact Citizenship-fraud-tips@cic.gc.ca or call 1-888-242-2100 to report citizenship fraud.
Strengthening aspects of the International Student Program (ISP). The government has proposed regulatory changes which would aim to verify that study permit holders are genuine students by introducing new study permit conditions requiring students to enroll in and actively pursue a course or program of study after arrival in Canada. The proposed changes would also ensure that international students study at accredited institutions designated by provinces and territories.
To report immigration fraud, call the Border Watch Tip Line at 1-888-502-9060.


Remember when you were a kid and your dad used the term, "Take a Hike!" Well now you can take his words literally!
"Take a Hike with Your Children"
"Take a Hike with Your Children" by Lynda Pianosi is an easy to read book, intended to get families active, outside and interested in nature. And we certainly have one of the most beautiful playgrounds in our back yard, The Canadian Rockies! There are more than 40 hikes within a two-hour drive from Calgary. This is the perfect book for young families wanting to get out and appreciate what Mother Nature has given us!
In this easy to read guide, there's picture icons that let you know if the trail you and your young family is about to embark on is stroller friendly, if there are bathrooms, fire pits, shelters and more. Getting ready for your outdoor adventure was never this easy! Now you know what you and your family are in for. No more guessing if the hike is suitable for your family! I love it! It also gives you an outline for all walking abilities, to competent walkers through to advanced walkers. Parents are the best judge of their children's walking abilities and you can use these guidelines to help you know where to go!
In this guide ,"Take A Hike with Your Children", Lynda had done extensive research on Banff Hikes, Canmore Hikes, Kananaskis Hikes and Lake Louise Hikes. Plus there is additional information on other local adventure hikes for your family. Plus the whole book has photos, so you can actually see what you and your family are getting into!
Thank you Lynda Pianosi for the tremendous amount of time and energy you put into this outstanding book. Full of useful information and resources. Now, no more excuses for not getting out with the kids! You have one of the most amazing opportunities only minutes away!
A very big thank your for the GREAT review on my book, "Take a Hike With Your Children". It is very satisfying to know that all of my research, and the "one million miles" that my kids claim to have hiked, will be helpful in getting other families outside to enjoy or spectacular playground" The Rocky Mountains".
Thank you and, HAPPY HIKING!

Group Policy Object Modeling in Windows Server 2008
Posted on January 8, 2009 by Brien Posey in Windows Server 2008 with 2 Comments
If you have ever done much work with group policies, then you have undoubtedly found out that managing group policies are an organization wide basis can be a complicated endeavor. That's primarily due to the hierarchical nature of group policies. Group policy settings can be applied at the OU, site, domain, and local computer levels. All of these various group policy objects combine to form the effective policy.
As if combining settings for multiple group policy objects were not enough, contradictory settings can, and often do exist within the various group policy objects. Not only can two separate group policy objects contained directly contradictory settings, the group policy settings that apply to the computer can sometimes also contradict with group policy settings applied to a user.
Windows has all kinds of rules for automatically dealing with contradictory group policy settings. Even so, you as an administrator need to know the outcome of these conflict resolutions and what the effective policy look like once the various policy elements have been combined. In Windows Server 2003 this was known as the resultant set of policy. In Windows Server 2008, Microsoft has changed the name to group policy modeling.
Why Do Group Policy Modeling?
There are several different reasons why you might want to engage in group policy modeling. For starters, even if everything appears to be running smoothly is a good idea to periodically use group policy modeling just to make sure that group policies are being applied in the way that you think that they are. Group policy modeling is also extremely useful in situations in which you are reorganizing the Active Directory or creating new group policy objects.
Performing Group Policy Modeling
To perform group policy modeling begin by opening the Group Policy Management Console. When the console opens, right-click on the Group Policy Modeling container and choose the Group Policy Modeling Wizard command from the shortcut menu. When you do, Windows will launch the Group Policy Modeling Wizard.
Click Next to bypass the wizard's welcome screen, and you will be taken to the Domain Controller Selection screen, shown in Figure A. As you can see in the figure, the screen asks you to choose the domain that you want to analyze, and then asks you to either choose a domain controller or specify that any domain controller can be used.
Figure A You must specify the domain that you want to analyze.
Click Next, and you will be taken to a screen that asks which user and/or computer you want to simulate the policy settings for. In both cases, you can either specify a particular container or an individual user and/or computer. That way, you can either evaluate a specific user and/or computer, or you can about your weight all of the users and/or computers within a particular container. You can see what this screen looks like in Figure B.
Figure B This is where you specify the Active Directory objects that you want to evaluate.
Click Next, and you will be taken to a page that gives you the chance to select a particular site. If you do not have any non-default sites defined, then you can just skip this page by clicking Next.
The next page that you will see allows you to enter alternate network location for a user and computer containers. The basic idea behind this screen is that it allows you to perform various what if scenarios. For example, you can see what would happen to the group policy settings if you were to move the computer in question to a different Active Directory container. Of course you do not have to specify an alternate location unless there is a particular location that you need to test.
When you click Next, you will see a screen listing all of the security groups that the currently selected user is a member of. You have the option of simulating changes to the users group membership if you want. When you're done entering any desired changes, click Next. You will now be given the chance to entering WMI filters that you want to use. Add any desired filters, and click Next.
You should now see a summary screen listing the options that you have specified. Make sure that everything looks okay, and then click Next, followed by Finish. When you do, Windows will display a screen similar to the one that is shown in Figure C. This screen allows you to see the outcome of your proposed configuration.
Figure C Your proposed changes are displayed in the Group Policy Management Console.
In this article, I have explained that it is sometimes difficult to evaluate the outcome of changes to the group policy. I then went on to show you how to use group policy modeling as a way of testing your proposed changes before you actually implement them.
Got a question? Post it on our Windows Server 2008 forums!

Purcell S, Mercier A, Conand C, Hamel J-F, Toral-Granda MV, Lovatelli A, Uthicke S (2013) Sea cucumber fisheries: global analysis of stocks, management measures and drivers of overfishing. Fish and Fisheries 14: 34-59.
Worldwide, most sea cucumber fisheries are ineffectively managed, leading to declining stocks and potentially eroding the resilience of fisheries. We analyse trends in catches, fishery status, fishing participation and regulatory measures among 77 sea cucumber fisheries through data from recent fishery reports and fishery managers. Critical gaps in fisheries biology knowledge of even commonly targeted species undermine the expected success of management strategies. Most tropical fisheries are small-scale, older and typified by numerous (>8) species, whereas temperate fisheries are often emerging, mono-specific and industrialized. Fisher participation data indicated about 3million sea cucumber fishers worldwide. Fisher participation rates were significantly related to the average annual yield. permanova analysis showed that over-exploited and depleted fisheries employed different sets of measures than fisheries with healthier stocks, and a non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination illustrated that a broad set of regulatory measures typified sustainable fisheries. SIMPER and regression tree analyses identified that the dissimilarity was most related to enforcement capacity, number of species harvested, fleet (vessel) controls, limited entry controls and rotational closures. The national Human Development Index was significantly lower in countries with over-exploited and depleted fisheries. Where possible, managers should limit the number of fishers and vessel size and establish short lists of permissible commercial species in multispecies fisheries. Our findings emphasize an imperative to support the enforcement capacity in low-income countries, in which risk of biodiversity loss is exceptionally high. Solutions for greater resilience of sea cucumber stocks must be embedded within those for poverty reduction and alternative livelihood options.

Cain Murders Abel The First Murder
Roles Conflicting Family Lines After The Fall, How The
Roles conflicting Adam and Eve had a son. Then Eve said, "I'll name him Cain because I got him with the help of the Lord." Later she had another son and named him Abel. Abel became a sheep farmer, but Cain farmed the land. One day, Cain gave part of his harvest to the Lord, and Abel also gave an offering to the Lord.
He killed the first-born lamb from one of his sheep and gave the Lord the best parts of it. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering, but not with Cain and his offering. This made Cain so angry that he could not hide his feelings. The Lord said to Cain: What's wrong with you? Why do you have such an angry look on your face? If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling. Roles Conflicting.
But you did the wrong thing, and now sin is waiting to attack you like a lion. Sin wants to destroy you, but don't let it! Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go for a walk." And when they were out in a field, Cain killed him.9 Afterwards the Lord asked Cain, "Where is Abel?" "How should I know?" he answered. "Am I supposed to look after my brother? "Then the Lord said: Why have you done this terrible thing? You killed your own brother, and his blood flowed onto the ground.
Now his blood is calling out for me to punish you. And so, I'll put you under a curse. Because you killed Abel and made his blood run out on the ground, you will never be able to farm the land again. If you try to farm the land, it won't produce anything for you. From now on, you'll be without a home, and you'll spend the rest of your life wandering from place to place. Roles Conflicting.
"This punishment is too hard!" Cain said. "You're making me leave my home and live far from you. I will have to wander about without a home, and just anyone could kill me." "No!" the Lord answered. "Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times worse than I am punishing you." So the Lord put a mark on Cain to warn everyone not to kill him.
But Cain had to go far from the Lord and live in the Land of Wandering, which is east of Eden. More and More People Later, Cain and his wife had a son named Enoch. At the time Cain was building a town, and so he named it Enoch after his son. Then Enoch had a son named Irad, who had a son named Mehujael, who had a son named Methushael, who had a son named Lamech.
Lamech married Adah, then Zillah. Lamech and Adah had two sons, Jabal and Jubal. Their son Jabal was the first to live in tents and raise sheep and goats. Jubal was the first to play harps and flutes Lamech and Zillah had a son named Tubal Cain who made tools out of bronze and iron. They also had a daughter, whose name was Naamah. One day, Lamech said to his two wives, "A young man wounded me, and I killed him. Roles Conflicting.
Anyone who tries to get even with me will be punished ten times more than anyone who tries to get even with Cain. "Adam and his wife had another son. They named him Seth, because they said, "God has given us a son to take the place of Abel, who was killed by his brother Cain. "Later, Seth had a son and named him Enosh. About this time people started worshiping the Lord. Genesis 4:1-26
Descendants of Adam God created men and women to be like himself. He gave them his blessing and called them human beings. This is a list of the descendants of Adam, the first man: When Adam was one hundred thirty, he had a son who was just like him, and he named him Seth. Roles Conflicting.
Adam had more children and died at the age of nine hundred thirty. When Seth was one hundred five, he had a son named Enosh. Seth had more children and died at the age of nine hundred twelve. When Enosh was ninety, he had a son named Kenan. Enosh had more children and died at the age of nine hundred five. When Kenan was seventy, he had a son named Mahalalel. Kenan had more children and died at the age of nine hundred ten.
When Mahalalel was sixty-five, he had a son named Jared. Mahalalel had more children and died at the age of eight hundred ninety-five. When Jared was one hundred sixty-two , he had a son named Enoch. Jared had more children and died at the age of nine hundred sixty-two. Roles Conflicting.
When Enoch was sixty-five, he had a son named Methuselah, and during the next three hundred years he had more children. Enoch truly loved God, and God took him away at the age of three hundred sixty-five. When Methuselah was one hundred eighty-seven, he had a son named Lamech. Methuselah had more children and died at the age of nine hundred sixty-nine. Roles Conflicting.
When Lamech was one hundred eighty-two, he had a son. Lamech said, "I'll name him Noah because he will give us comfort, as we struggle hard to make a living on this land that the Lord has put under a curse." Lamech had more children and died at the age of seven hundred seventy-seven. After Noah was five hundred years old, he had three sons and named them Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Genesis 5:1-32

Since they're able to get rid of electronic junk for me, this is only a curiosity. One of the things I've never been sure of about toner cartridges is: how are you supposed to know whether a cartridge has any toner left, if the printer software can't tell? Possibly because you you don't have the printer anymore, which is the case here. Since I'm dumping the cartridge, it will be Goodwill's concern, not mine; but if the store wants to know whether the cartridge contains any toner, how will they find out? If there's any way to just open it and look, I've never known. Is there?
Trying to open the cartridge is probably a bad idea and your most likely going to make a mess. As far as I know there is no inspection window on purpose due to how a laser printer works.
Depends on how the manufacture designed the printer but as far as I know there are built in sensors that can detect the level and the only way to know is if you try it in a printer.
The smart way for them to tell is to stick it in a printer. If they don't have the printer, there isn't much point in selling used cartridges.
If it's in the box and it's 3 bucks, maybe it's worth putting on the shelf. It's a donation, I'm sure 5 or 10 bucks are worth it if the box is shut. I know those things can cost more like 100 when theyre new. But they cost Goodwill nothing.
Goodwill throws out a lot of stuff they can't sell. I don't think they have computer technicians on staff. If it doesn't do anything when you plug it in, they won't sell it for much-- or at all. I don't recommend trying to open it. Even if you did, and you didn't get that stuff everywhere, you're going to have a fun time trying to figure out how much is in there. If you knew how much a full one weighed, you could go by the difference.
Thanks, that pretty well answers the question: I just can't know. Thanks for the tip to not dump the cartridge on Goodwill. I'll find another place.

Do Brother still make the model? If so, do they run a recycling program? If not, then I I think it's just, sadly, landfill.
If you're always using cartridges for the same printer, with experience you can tell full from empty by the weight. But a lot harder if it's a cartridge you don't normally use. But if you tilt it and it feels like there's weight shifting inside, then it's probably part full.
You can send it for recycling, chances are it'll be turned into a remanufactured cartridge.
I looked into this. The limitation of their program is the obvious one: they will take only genuine Brother products. That makes the program useless to me, because like many people, I buy generics. I almost wish I could expect them to recycle products that merely work in their equipment, but they're neither a charity nor a dedicated recycling company.

i find it distasteful how you abuse as your personal problematic waste solution a non-profit organisation that is trying to help people & the planet.
since you seem to know that the printer (and most likely the cartridge too) is worthless you should do the decent thing and bring it to the recycling station yourself, not let some vocational rehabilitants take the brunt for you, for free.
like somebody else said, they have to throw away lots of donations already (but aren't allowed to refuse or complain if it isn't very obvious that the "donation" is worthless).


Progressive new legislation meant to improve gender diversity on India's corporate boards risks being undermined by a traditional bedrock of business in India—family.
In 2013, India enacted a new Companies Act, replacing the original 1956 law. It mandated that all companies listed on stock exchanges must have at least one woman on its board of directors. The rationale was obvious. When it came to gender balance, India's corporate boards came woefully short. More than 60% of the 1,461 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange do not have a single woman member on their board of directors.
Yesterday, India's second-largest private sector conglomerate by market cap, Reliance Industries Ltd, named a woman to its board, well ahead of the October deadline to comply with the new norms. She is married to billionaire company chairman Mukesh Ambani.
Reliance can of course name to the company board whoever its shareholders deem fit. But the move by the large corporation confirmed what many feared would be the route companies would chart to comply with the law—nominate members of the promoter family to the board.
Even though India is Asia's third largest economy, companies here have not made much of an effort to include women in their growth story. Women in India, according to research firm Catalyst, hold barely 5% of board seats—lower than all other BRICS countries. In the United States, 17% of the board members are women.
Norway is the leader in corporate gender diversity. Women hold more than 40% of the board seats in the European country. In 2006, Norway passed a law requiring 40% of boardroom seats to go to women.
India is not even close to that sort of an inclusion.
Most corporates had protested against mandating the appointment of even a single woman director because they felt that the pipeline of qualified women is small, according to Agarwal. As a result of their lobbying, they got the next best option: a chance to keep it all in the family and not have to search for an independent woman director.
The industry body, PHD Chamber, conducted a survey on gender diversity by interviewing 66 board members in India in 2011. Almost one-fourth of companies without female directors felt that women are not mentally tough enough to handle the job.
If more companies end up taking the family route, the well-intentioned law will result in a perverse consequence—boards with greater representation from the promoter family.


Excellent, personal service. Great rapport with customers. Very competitive pricing. Not a lot of shop fronts but great internet service and ATM deals with other banks.
We have always been with "Big Banks"...wished we changed years ago. We get to speak to REAL people and better still - the same person every time. Home Loan,Savings,Credit Card - they have it all. We have never been happier with a bank - they have all the $$$ we have and even with the small amount it totals they treat us as though we matter....unlike other banks.
I have been a member of the QPCU since 1988. I have always found the staff helpful, honest and courteous. Their products are extremely competitive and in the majority of cases, better than the "Big Four" banks.
Likes: The staff are always very helpful and all my needs are taken care of at the one location. Dislikes: There is only one branch in Brisbane.

IT'S ALL INDIE
Exciting new artist Loveday unveils ethereal debut EP Temporal Experiment No.1
Posted by Chris Graham on May 18, 2019
Promising young singer-songwriter Loveday has delivered her maiden EP Temporal Experiment No.1, an enchanting record that conveys an emotional maturity far beyond her years.
The four-track release examines themes of first love, friendships, adventure evolving through her youthful years. Released as a single last month, opening track 'Bathtub' is a deeply personal display of lo-fi electro-pop. Meanwhile 'Stay Loyal' and 'Thought It Through' convey the contrasting emotions that come throughout the different stages of teenage love. Loveday rounds up the EP with a cover of Bruce Springsteen's single 'Fire', a powerful and poignant performance of the classic.
While listing Stevie Nicks, Billie Eilish, The Japanese House and Lorde as inspiration, the Warwickshire-based artist cites the female figures present throughout her life as the true motivation for the music she makes - projecting her signature style through content that is close to her heart.
Released in April of last year, debut single 'Close' was picked up by Japanese remixer Initial Talk - famed for his remix of Dua Lipa's 'New Rules' . Since then Loveday has seen further success with tracks 'To You' and 'Breathless (Like This)' - which reached Number 1 on Hype Machine's music chart and gained support from BBC Music Introducing. Garnering support worldwide from Grammy award winning production duo The Chainsmokers, Loveday has gone onto accumulate airplay from radio tastemakers Jamz Supernova and Tom Robinson.
As the supporting act for Caitlyn Scarlett's headline show at The Waiting Room on Thursday 4th July and with Temporal Experiment No.1 set for release on Friday 10th May, Loveday further establishes herself as an artist to watch and sets her agenda for 2019 and beyond.
Temporal Experiment No.1 Tracklist:
01 Bathtub
02 Stay Loyal
03 Thought It Through

Love Fame Tragedy unveils new single "Riding A Wave"
Love Fame Tragedy kicks off the new decade in style with the release of latest single "Riding A Wave", out now via Good Soldier Songs/AWAL.
The track is the latest offering from The Wombats frontman Matthew "Murph" Murphy's solo project and the third from his sophomore EP "Five Songs To Briefly Fill The Void", which is out next month. If you're a fan of The Wombats this new project isn't too far off what they've sounded like over the past two albums, and don't worry, The Wombats aren't splitting up any time soon!
Tessie showcases her latest EP with new single 'Do Me Like That'
Hailing from the waterfront city of Vallejo, California, singer and songwriter Tessie first made her initial impressions last year with the release of her debut EP 'Feel Trip', featuring the memorable singles 'The Way' and 'Can't Wait'. And after a few months to refresh herself, she returns with her latest soulful offering 'Do Me Like That'.
Lifted from her follow-up EP 'Feel Trip II', 'Do Me Like That' looks to continue the same vibrant and sweeping tones she first expressed on her previous collection. Taking cues from artists such as Alicia Keys, JoJo, and Jazmine Sullivan, this smooth and sultry new release sees her in a soft and intimate guise, using little more than a loosely played guitar, humbled drums and her own soaring vocals to create this rich and enticing new cut.
Speaking about her latest release, she added, "'Do Me Like That' is an ode to all the hopeless romantics. The track encompasses the feeling of going all the way out on a limb for love and not getting the same lo…
Cortney Dixon shares colourful and psychedelic music video for new single 'What You Wanna Do?'
'What You Wanna Do' is Cortney Dixon's second single from her forthcoming EP entitled 'Our Intuition' produced by Jim Lowe (Stereophonics/Charlatans). This follows first single 'Summer's Eyes' which was championed by BBC Introducing and was described by Atwood Magazine as: "An anthemic pop song that, once heard, will stay in your head and heart - destined to be a future festival crowd singalong".
Speaking of the track, Courtney says:
"'What You Wanna Do' is about that person who comes along and who you instantly fall madly in love with - except you know you absolutely shouldn't. Both of you are made up of entirely different things and yet somehow it feels like you're exactly the same. It's a love that turns you mental. It's a love that's not sustainable. It throws everything you thought you knew into complete disarray and turns your answers back to questions. It's never going to work, and you both know that, so you have to decide - What You Wanna Do?"

[SOUNDS OF 2020] - #6 - Stereo Honey
A band we're coming to think are the next big guitar based band is Stereo Honey, and their latest offering would surely suggest that they're aiming for stardom. The track is a taster of their brand new EP "Ladders To The Sun" which will be released on the brilliant LAB Records and really sums up the band as "My Darkness"has the perfect balance of electronica, synths and guitars - but not forgetting those oh so sweet soaring vocals.
The band have already become cited as ones to keep a rather close eye on the year becomes 2020, an ode to their European festival dates, UK tour and support dates, notably with Amber Run who hand picked the band to support them on their UK tour, and even went as far as to do a collab every night with the band.
With a mature sound than others in their genre it is just a matter of time before they're on everyone's lips With beautiful vocals, deep & broody lyrics and a smattering of melodies with sublime guitars this is t…

Q: Is there a method to truncate/set the EOF of a file in VB.NET? I have found the function SetEndOfFile() in C++ which can truncate the file, is there a similar method in VB.NET?
I need this feature because this can help me edit a huge file quickly. If I overwrite the whole file from the very start just for eliminate last bytes that will take a lot of time.
If such method doesn't exsit in VB.NET, do you have a plan B for this?
Thank you.

Freeman House
Frank Lloyd Wright +
Some parts of this article have been translated using Google's translation engine. We understand the quality of this translation is not excellent and we are working to replace these with high quality human translations.
In the early twentieth century, Wright began a period of professional independence which focused on their task on a range of housing called "Houses of the prairies," among which was the Freeman House, as well as the Winslow House (1894) and Willitts House, both in Illinois (1901-1902), the Martin House in New York (1904) and the Robie House in Chicago (1906-1910), among many others.
This first stage of its production, it gave Wright an international prestige that came to Europe.
It is located in a terrain slope on a hill in Los Angeles.
It was built with an experimental system of concrete blocks inspired by the Mayan and Aztec temples.
Throughout his career, Wright used the concept of grouping of different geometric patterns in which each represent the party and the whole. These grounds are indifferent to mask the scale and the properties of materials. That compositional principle explains the nature of its architecture, in which the methodology is in line with a constructive methodology ornamental. It is a system based on the constant repetition of embellishment which is subject to the inherent grid of the walls.
This house has a total integration into the surrounding natural environment, with marked aventanamientos horizontal lines, roofs outgoing prominent in the profiles of their facades and the formation of its plants around the fireplace.
The roof terraces are articulated with the sloping terrain of the hill on which it sits.
The protagonists in this book are the concrete blocks, modeled according to geometric shapes. To improve the resilience of the system, Wright placed a web of steel on the sides of the blocks. They also replaced the wooden molds for other metal parts thus more regular. The boards external disappeared after a semicircular slot that is filled with mortar to hold the gun. The mortar was discharged after placing the blocks, so it was not necessary to conduct a bricklayer specialized task. It was assumed that both the blocks as the walls were impervious to water. The only concession Wright regarding the vagueness of the system was the use of a double wall to improve the insulation through the air chamber that is generated between them. The truth is that this space was necessary to ensure the accuracy of the walls on both sides.
By not allowing the construction of torjados or decks, the system is incomplete. To remedy in this case the beams are lined with concrete blocks.
From the economic point of view the system was not a success. The lack of standardization prevented because each building needed a number of different pieces. In Freeman's house was used two basic types of blocks – smooth and decorated – who came to join 56 different models.
The technical shortcomings of the system were obvious from the beginning. On top of the walls to water leak caused more problems than the production itself. One of the causes of the cracks, leaks and the generally poor condition of houses built with this system seems to be the mixture used to build the blocks. This was not suitable for the production of waterproof and neither was the proportion of Portland cement and sand used in its manufacture.
Although isolation was achieved through a double impermeable wall, the air leak in the inner chamber resulted in her convection air currents. Despite the reduction in the capacity insulator that this factor involved, the level achieved meet the demands of the era. Another problem is the ostensible of the oxidation caused by water seepage in the armor. Had we anticipated that this could happen, the injury would have been easily avoided galvanizing metal.
Freeman's house is an exception in this system of houses with bundles of Wright. Here the corners are glazed by eliminating the therein column. Rather than being a simple cube built with covers and bearing walls, this house is close to the idea of the structural skeleton, as the chambers of air between the blocks are filled with concrete pillars and beams to create homogenous.

Guide to what's on in London in April 2015 →
Nice to see ewe: Follow the Shaun In The City trails around London
'A Capital View' by Laura Cramer in Festival Gardens by St Paul's Cathedral
Art trails have proven hugely successful in recent years with elephants, phone boxes, Paddington Bears, Olympic Wenlocks and book benches among the customised sculptures popping up on London's streets. Now just in time for the Easter holidays (a fun and free way to keep the kids entertained for a couple of hours), the Shaun In The City trails have landed in the capital.
Fifty 5ft tall sculptures of Wallace & Gromit's pal Shaun The Sheep will be dotted around on four different trails around London from 28 March until 31 May. Given it's the Chinese Year Of The Sheep and the recent release of the Shaun The Sheep movie, the timing couldn't be more apt. Each Shaun sculpture has been designed and decorated by high-profile artists, celebrities and designers, including David Gandy, Cath Kidston, Roksanda Ilinic and Zandra Rhodes.
The trails have been split into four sections – Shaun's Trail, Timmy's Trail, Shirley's Trail and Bitzer's Trail, averaging between 3 to 5 kilometres each. There's also a few Lost Sheep who have strayed west towards Paddington and east towards Canary Wharf.
Shaun's Trail
Takes 35 minutes and spans 3km. Visit Shauns along Regent Street, Piccadilly Circus and Chinatown.
Timmy's Trail
Takes 35 minutes and spans 3km. Visit Shauns around Covent Garden and Waterloo.
Shirley's Trail
Takes 40 minutes and spans 3km. Visit Shauns around St Paul's Cathedral and Bankside
Bitzer's Trail
Takes 1 hour 10 minutes and spans 5km. Visit Shauns around the east part of the City of London, including Tower of London and Bank, across Tower Bridge and The Shard.
Each Shaun has been sponsored by a company and will be sold off in a pubic auction in October, with money raised going to the Wallace & Gromit Children's Foundation, which helps sick children.
Shaun In The City runs from 28 March to 31 May 2015. To find out more and to download a map of the trails, visit the Shaun In The City website.

Tigers in the Tank was founded by Nomi and Dan in 2011. Our sound is characterized by strong female vocals with thoughtful lyrics in several languages; a songwriting partnership influenced by Motown on the vocal side and 90s/00s indie rock on the music side (sounding like neither in the end); and a range of song styles from danceable indie pop/rock to sparse acoustic songs with banjo or mandolin.

Q: Joining two tables and using alias for only 1 i want to join 2 tables A and B that look like this:

ID
Time
ID_A

1
10:00
5

2
11:00
6

3
12:00
null

ID_A
Time

5
13:00

6
14:00

Now i join them with
select * from A
left join B on ID_A

What i need now is a way to make the name of Time refer to A.Time and B.Time refer to B.Time.
eg. select Time from ... should return A.Time and select B.Time from .... should return B.Time or null

A: List all the columns and give the conflicting ones aliases using AS:
select a.id,
       a.time,
       a.id_a,
       b.id_a AS b_id_a,
       b.time AS b_time
from   A
       left join B
       on a.ID_A = b.id_a

or you can select all of the columns from one table using <table_identitifier>.*:
select a.*,
       b.id_a AS b_id_a,
       b.time AS b_time
from   A
       left join B
       on a.ID_A = b.id_a

A: I think a simple solution could be to rename column in B with a subquery, see the following code as an example:
SELECT
   ID,
   Time,
   ID_A,
   Time_B
FROM A
LEFT JOIN
(select ID_A, Time as Time_B from B) b_alias
b_alias on ID_A

A: You need to put an alias in each table to can use the "select B.Time...". By now you are just calling one A and B but they are not refered as it.
