Wend your way to Wistman's Wood
A new-year trip took JPA director Jeremy to one of the most intriguing places on Dartmoor. We thought we'd share some of his photos of this beautiful, ancient woodland.
If anyone is looking for a special place to visit set in a stunning high moor location and has even a passing interest in rare natural habitats they would be hard pressed to better Wistman's Wood in the middle of Dartmoor.
The wood is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a rare example of a native upland oak woodland that has established on a granite scree slope (the ground is covered in boulders).
Because of the prevailing weather conditions the trees are all rather stunted and though their size may make them appear young they are in fact very old. According to the Visit Dartmoor website: 'In 1620 it was claimed that the trees were "no taller than a man may touch to top with his head". In 1912 a geological survey party tried to walk the wood but gave up due to the dense vegetation. In the early 1970s the trees were reported as being very distorted and on average 10ft high, with occasional specimens over 25ft.'
Because of the age of the woodland – the oldest oaks are estimated to be between 200 and 400 years old - it has a well-established ecosystem: the site is noted for its lichens, mosses and ferns, many of which are growing on and in the trees and can be seen hanging from the branches.
The wood is about a 20-minute walk each way from the car park opposite the Two Bridges Hotel just outside Princetown - take the signposted track through the wooden gate. The first part of the track (that goes to a small farm house) is flat and level and while the second section is a bit heavier going and can be wet, it is still perfectly achievable.
A trip to Dartmoor will always leave you feeling revitalised but perhaps in need of a cup of tea – we suggest a visit to the Two Bridges Hotel, or for something stronger, The Warren House Inn on the Moretonhampstead Road (where JPA once had a fine Christmas lunch).

Sweden has also created 12,600 safer pedestrian crossings with features such as bridges, flashing lights, and speed bumps. That's estimated to have halved pedestrian deaths over the past five years. The country has lowered speed limits in urban, crowded areas and built barriers to protect bikers from incoming traffic. A crackdown on drunk driving has also helped.

Deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured the chief minister Parkash Singh Badal and himself on fiscal assistance to the state.
During a meeting yesterday in New Delhi, Parkash and Sukhbir Badal had raised various issues pertaining to development of the state and Modi had assured to consider all the demands put forth to resolve the issues.
"The Prime Minister gave a patient hearing and assured to resolve the pending issues of the state to maintain the pace of development and growth in Punjab," Sukhbir Badal told reporters here on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting.
Answering a query regarding financial package, Badal said the state had demanded outstanding debt waiver and refund of Rs 2,694 crore paid as interest on special term loan amounting to Rs 5,800 crore by the state for fighting militancy.

Sukhbir said the chief minister had also told Modi about the "discrimination" faced by the state due to the wrong policies of the previous UPA government.
He said the Prime Minister had assured to resolve pending issues pertaining to Punjab by initiating discussions with the concerned Secretaries of various departments.
The deputy chief minister said Punjab has also demanded an amount of Rs 5,000 crore as non plan grant before submission of report by 14th Finance Commission.

Bellis Family Tree
May 24, 2020 By Marfy Goodspeed in Bellis, Families 1 Comment	Tags: family trees
This is a partial Bellis Family Tree, designed to show the ancestors of David Bellis, owner of John Lequear's farm in Raritan Township, as described in "The Old Lequear Farm." I had attempted to design a tree that covered all the descendants of Andreas and Maria Bellis, but that proved impossible based on the information I have found so far. So I decided to publish this partial tree and perhaps get to the rest of the family as more information comes my way. Apologies to those whose relatives are missing.
Addendum, May 30, 2020: After publishing, I came upon an article in the Democrat-Advertiser about the Bellis family, based on information from Theodore Bellis (unfortunately, the clipping I have does not have a date, but it was probably in the early 1900s). The history of the house and family was too interesting to pass up, so I have added information to this tree based on the article. Previously I had made additions are in italics, but so much more has been added that I have removed them. Comments, however, will be in italics.
Addendum, Oct. 18, 2020: Some readers have been pointing out omissions to the tree, so I've added more names.
(1) Andreas Bollesfelt/Bellis Jr. (c.1665 – )
and wife Maria Schnuch (c.1670 – )
I am certain Andreas and Maria had more than three children, but these are three I am aware of. But records are very confusing, and the persistent use of 'Johan' as a first name does not help. I'm not at all certain the order is correct, either.
| (2.1) Johann Peter Bellis (c.1700 – 1767) & Elisabetha Christina Nollen ( – 1755) removed to Sussex Co.
| (2.2) Johann Wilhelm Bellis (1701 – 1775)
| | | m. 1) Frona Catherine Case (c.1705 – 1781)
| | | m. 2) Catharina Kempel (1710 – 1804), married 1743, New York
| (2.3) Johann Adam Bellis (1706 – 1761) & Catharine Calstan/Colsch/Kolscher ? (1718 – 1804)
| (2.2) Johann Wilhelm Bellis & Frona Catherine Case
| | (3.1) Mary Bellis (1723 – 1772) & Johann Peter Rockafellar Jr. (1711 – 1787, see the Rockafellar Tree)
| | (3.2) Barmet Bellis (c.1725 – c.1810) & Mary Fisher (c.1730 – 1806)
| | (3.3) Johann George Bellis (c.1742 – aft. 1791), spouse unknown
| (2.2) Johann Wilhelm Bellis & Catharine Kempel
Had sons William, John and Peter, and daughter Elizabeth; no further information on them
| | (3.7) Johan Adam Bellis (c.1748 – 1808) & Anne Schenck (c.1755 – )
As you can see there is a problem here. Frona was still alive when Catharine Kempel was married to Bellis. Better information is needed.
| (2.3) Johann Adam Bellis & Catharine Calstan/Kolscher
The couple married and came to America in 1739 where all their children were born. They bought 200 acres in the Stevenson tract at Copper Hill and built a log house there. The house was later replaced by the one shown in the photograph. Regrettably I do not know what year that photograph was taken. The Democrat Advertiser began publication in 1881.
| | (3.1) Johann William Bellis (1740 – 1826) & Mary Housel (1743 – 1799)
Theodore Bellis pointed out that William took over his parents homestead as did his son William W. Bellis, and his grandson Peter Bellis, and his great grandson George V. Bellis. Also that the surname Bollesfelt evolved into Bellis during the lifetime of this William Bellis.
| | (3.2) Peter Bellis (1743 – 1827) & Elizabeth Hoffman (1744 – 1828), moved to Kentucky
| | (3.3) Cattrena Bellis (c.1746 – 1804)

I am curious, because in the Early Germans of New Jersey and also the Snell book of Hunterdon County, the father for Adam, Peter, William (Wilhelm) and John (not mentioned in your article) was William Bollesfelt/Bellis who was naturalized in 1730 in New Jersey. I thought Andreas was a brother to William. Just asking. I have other children for Andreas. I'd love to collaborate, because I'm attempting to find the connection of my 6th ggf Henry Bellis of Scott County, Kentucky back to the New Jersey Bellis families. I have numerous DNA connections with New Jersey Bellis' and remarkably all the families that intermarried with the Bellis'. But, because many of the records in the courthouse were burned at numerous times, we've not been able to determine his connection as of yet. Any collaboration and information would be very helpful. We think his wife, Mary Bellis, was a Bowlby, but are still working that line too.

Don't get the Kentucky football players wrong. The bowl-eligibility-clinching win over Vanderbilt last week was nice and all, but the Wildcats have made it clear they want much more.
The mood on the team bus following the Vandy game was subdued compared to that of 2006, when the Cats clinched bowl eligibility for the first time in seven seasons with a win over the Commodores.
"It was unbelievable elation not only among our team, but among the fan base when we got that sixth win" back in 2006, Kentucky Coach Rich Brooks said. "I think, that time, we were celebrating so long we almost came back and lost to Louisiana-Monroe. "There was no major celebration (Saturday), but what it did do was put us in position to continue what we all want to do on this football team and in this program, and that's climb the SEC East ladder while knowing we have a chance to be somewhere in the post-season."
"I remember when we won that sixth game and felt like we were on top of the world," senior offensive lineman Christian Johnson said. "You couldn't tell us nothing. Now it's not enough. We need more. We're trying to improve and get better, and we're not trying to stay in the lower or middle half of the SEC East. We want to work our way up to the top."
What the Cats really want, though, is to win both games and possibly bump up to the Outback or Chick-Fil-A bowl.
"We want to get out of Tennessee," Durham said. "We'll be happy with any bowl because any bowl is better than no bowl but, personally, we want to take care of business this week and next week and possibly go farther south."
A better bowl destination isn't all that's at stake these next couple of weeks. If Kentucky can win at Georgia on Saturday and follow that up with a win against Tennessee on Nov. 28, they'd finish second behind Florida in the SEC East.
Brooks said that if the players want to achieve those goals, now's the time to get it done. UK let two opportunities slip away earlier this season with close losses to South Carolina and Mississippi State.
"As I told them Sunday, all of those guys that were talking about wanting to climb the food chain and get to a better bowl, it's in their lap," Brooks said. "They can do it if they choose to do it and, if they don't do it, they've only got themselves to blame."
But Brooks doesn't want the players focusing so much on the big picture that it affects their preparation. A week after winning at Auburn, the Cats came out and laid an egg against Mississippi State.
"I think that was a problem the week of the MSU game," Brooks said. "They thought, since we beat Auburn, we'd be rockin' and rollin', and we were on our way. And the focus and attention to detail was not there that week.
"I believe we'll be ready to play this week. I believe they understand the importance of it and the magnitude of what they can accomplish, but you never know. It's my job to get them to do it, and obviously I haven't done it correctly each and every week. Some weeks are a bigger challenge. I would think this week shouldn't be a big challenge."
Defensive tackle Corey Peters has been named Southeastern Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week for his performance in Kentucky's win over Vanderbilt. He made five tackles, including 11/2 for loss.
Also, kickoff man Craig McIntosh has been named the National Kickoff Specialist of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards. McIntosh kicked off five times at Vanderbilt, with a career-high three touchbacks. That helped limit Vandy's Warren Norman, one of the nation's top kickoff return men, to a 19-yard average on his two returns.
The Tennessee at Kentucky game has been set for 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 28, and will be televised by ESPNU.

Russia: Businessman Handles Insider Homes
Published: Thursday, 31 March 2016 15:05
Written by Roman Anin, OCCRP

A murky Russian businessman that formerly ran a state property agency has been buying apartments in Moscow for a number of young women that include the daughter of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin; Putin's alleged girlfriend; and a woman who, in a flirty web posting titled "Pussy for Putin," offers the Russian leader a kitten and praises his leadership skills.
Grigory Baevskiy, 47, works for Arkadiy Rotenberg, a Kremlin insider and long-time Putin friend and his judo sparring partner. Records show Baevskiy not only helped Putin handle some of his most delicate personal situations but also made a fortune from questionable deals with the Russian state.
Shielding the Family
Putin has always tried to build an impenetrable wall around his family to protect them from the scrutiny he endures and the risks inherent in his job. The Kremlin has never even confirmed the identities of Putin's children, despite worldwide media speculation for years over their background.
But cracks appeared in that wall last year, when Katerina Tikhonova, a young, low-profile woman without significant professional qualifications, was suddenly put in charge of a prestigious and ambitious US$ 1.7 billion project to expand the campus of Moscow State University (MSU). Investigations by the Russian daily RBC, Reuters and OCCRP proved that Tikhonova is actually the youngest daughter of the Russian leader.
Much of Tikhonova's scientific work for the university was financially supported by the biggest Russian state-owned companies which are headed by Putin's closest allies.
One of the most closely guarded secrets of the Russian state is where the President's family lives. The information is seldom even recorded. However, in 2012, while establishing a foundation related to her work, Tikhonova listed her official address which OCCRP was able to verify. Tikhonova's official residence is a modest one-room apartment in the Moscow region, not far from Novo-Ogarevo, the place where her father usually works and lives. For security reasons OCCRP will not disclose the address.
Since 2007, the apartment where Tikhonova is registered to live has belonged to Baevskiy, a businessman from St. Petersburg who to date has had no public profile.
In the mid-2000s, Baevskiy worked as director of the Directorate for Investment Activities (DIA), a state enterprise that belongs to the Russian Agency for Management of the State Assets.
The DIA's main function is to oversee the management of state property. So when Baevskiy quit his public duties in 2009 he didn't have to change his specialization: from state property he moved to manage the private property of Putin's family.
The Putin Connection
Public records indicate that even as he was heading the DIA, Baevskiy was already closely connected to Arkadiy Rotenberg, one of Putin's oldest friends. Rotenberg has been sanctioned by the US and European Union (EU) authorities as retaliation for Russia's seizure of Crimea.
According to the EU Council, Rotenberg has thrived under Putin's patronage.
"He has developed his fortune during President Putin's tenure. He has been favored by Russian decision-makers in the award of important contracts by the Russian State or by State-owned enterprises. His companies were notably awarded several highly lucrative contracts for the preparations of the Sochi Olympic Games" the council said.
The Russian edition of Forbes magazine, in its 2016 rating of "Kings of the State Contracts," rates Rotenberg as number one with more than half a trillion rubles (US $7.4 billion) in state contracts. Many if not most of the contracts awarded to Rotenberg companies were awarded without tender competition.
Baevskiy's connection to Rotenberg is long-standing. In 2004, Baevskiy transferred a very expensive apartment in the center of Moscow, on Bolshaya Ordynka Street, to Rotenberg's daughter Lilya. Since 2006 Baevskiy, together with Rotenberg and his brother Boris, have been the founders of Otechestvo, a dacha community not far from St. Petersburg.
After leaving his post in the DIA, Baevskiy joined Rotenberg's business, showing up on a list of people officially affiliated with the SMP Bank, which is owned by the Rotenberg brothers. From 2011 until 2014, Baevskiy also worked as the general director of the Russian Holding Company (RHC) whose ultimate beneficiary is Rotenberg.
The RHC holds many of the jewels of the Russian economy. It is the only shareholder of the National Chemical Group, one of the biggest companies in the Russian fertilizer market. The RHC is also involved in a management role in a US$ 6 billion highway project as part of the "Silk Way," a highway from the border of Belarus to Kazakhstan which will be a fast overland route from Western Europe to China.
Baevskiy is not just an employee. He has been developing his own businesses and, as in the case of Arkadiy Rotenberg, Baevskiy's companies earn most of their money from Russian taxpayers. According to OCCRP calculations, in the past two years Baevskiy's businesses won more than 6 billion rubles (US $88 million in current value) in state contracts.
Baevskiy's biggest contract was a 2.7 billion rubles (US$ 82 million) award in 2013 to grade the land in preparation for the construction of a beltway road around St. Petersburg. (on 21.6.2013)
Baevskiy likes to spend the money he gets from the Russian taxpayers on luxurious things. He owns a long list of properties worth millions of dollars across the country, from St. Petersburg to Moscow and Gelendzhik in the south of Russia near Sochi where Putin also has a palace. His private apartment in one of the most expensive districts of Moscow, on Prechistenka street, is likely to be worth at least 50 million rubles (US $740,000). Baevskiy is also the owner of a sleek 65-meter superyacht, the Rahil, which was built in 2011 by the Italian manufacturer Benetti. Rahil, previously named Nataly, won a prestigious Nautical Design Award in 2011 as the best motor yacht in the larger-than-40 meter category.

Ladies from the Circle
Tikhonova is not the only woman from Putin's circle who obtained housing through Baevskiy. According to the Russian land register, in 2009 Baevskiy transferred a 228-square-meter apartment on Vereseaeva Street in Moscow to Leyasan Kabaeva, sister of Alina Kabaeva.
Alina Kabaeva is an Olympic rhythmic gymnastics champion and the head of the board of the National Media Group, one of the biggest media holdings in Russia. It is controlled by Putin's long-time friend, Yuriy Kovalchuk. Kabaeva has been rumored for years to be Putin's girlfriend, but Putin has aggressively denied these speculations along with other attempts to pry into his private life. The rumors have never been proven.
In 2013, Baevskiy also transferred a plot of land and a house in the upscale town of Uspenskoe in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region, to Anna Zatsepilina, an 81-year-old pensioner. This is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Russia, where 100 square meters of land can cost upwards of US$ 100,000. It is the favorite place for Russia's richest citizens: oligarchs, high-ranking officials and celebrities. Uspenskoe is just a 15 minute drive from the official residency of Vladimir Putin in Novo-Ogarevo.
An elderly woman named Anna Zatsepilina appears in a 2013 documentary from Russian state TV Channel 1 about Alina Kabaeva and in other media reports from the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Anna Zatsepilina is the grandmother of Alina Kabaeva.
The Russian land register doesn't provide details of the deals, so OCCRP could not find whether these properties were sold or just presented as gifts.
Baevskiy owned a number of apartments but the majority were transferred or sold to persons allegedly close to Putin. Another was transferred or sold to another woman with a more tangential tie to Putin. In 2015, Alisa Kharcheva, 23, obtained an apartment and an underground parking space on Minskaya Street from Baevskiy.
In 2010 Kharcheva, who had just graduated from high school, appeared as "Miss April" in an erotic calendar dedicated to Vladimir Putin's birthday. Putin's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov later admitted that the Russian leader liked the calendar: "The girls are beautiful," said Peskov.
Afterwards, Kharcheva enrolled at the school of journalism at the Moscow State Institute of Internal Relations. In 2012, she sent another birthday greeting to the Russian President. In a blog titled "Pussy for Putin," Alisa published suggestive photos of herself posing with a photograph of Putin and a kitten, which she said was a gift for the president.
"I think he [Putin] is a fabulous man, a strong leader and the ideal head of the country … I found a great kitty as a gift for the president. I believe it will bring Putin only luck … And until Vladimir Vladimirovich takes his gift, the kitty will live with me," wrote Kharcheva.
Reached by a reporter from OCCRP, Kharcheva said she bought the property from Baevski, who she does not know, through a real estate agent.
When asked if she had any connection to Putin and if the apartment was a gift, she laughed and said "Nonsense. … Of course not. Everybody has already forgotten about the calendar."

Pro-wrestling superstar John Cena has apparently taken aim at his next victim – basketball star LeBron James.
Cutting a promo on his 'Trainwreck' co-star on Friday, John Cena challenged the Cleveland Cavaliers star to step into the ring with him so he can "dribble his face on the canvas as if it was a Spalding basketball".
He also added that he would rip LeBron's spine out of his back and "perform a double tomahawk jam to a fan in the third row eating nachos, sipping on a 72-ounce Coke". Nice.


EAST ORANGE, NJ – The 2018 installment of the "Battle of the Oranges" featured a classic for the ages as the East Orange Campus High School varsity football Jaguars outlasted the Mountaineers of West Orange HS this past Friday evening, Oct. 5, under the lights at Paul Robeson Stadium in East Orange.
The Jaguars snapped a two-game losing streak and improved to a 3-2 record. West Orange fell to 2-4. The Jaguars were coming off losses to Montclair, 28-27, and Seton Hall Prep, 20-14, while the Mountaineers were looking to rebound after dropping a 13-12 decision to Livingston.
West Orange immediately coughed up the ball on the first play from scrimmage, allowing East Orange LB Matthew Zaio to pounce on the ball as the Jaguars had the opportunity to strike first. But the West Orange defense forced the Jaguars to trade punts with them collectively seven times in the first quarter.
Later in the quarter, East Orange LB Locksley Burke and company broke the scoreless tie by backing the Mountaineers up against their own end zone and forcing yet another three-and-out. Burke (17 tackles, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 interception) along with Ian Brown (15 tackles 2 sacks), Keshawn Munford (8 tackles 2 for losses), Quadir Scott (6 tackles, 1 sack, 2 interceptions, 4 receptions for 42 yards) and Kasim Daniels busted through the Mountaineers front line, swallowing up West Orange punter Bryan Reitberger in the end zone for the safety with 2:55 left in the first quarter.
The second quarter was much like the first, as the struggle to see who will blink first continued. East Orange snagged an interception and a fumble, while West Orange kept the pressure coming, forcing three punts and two turnovers on downs. But the Mountaineers found the promise land with the help of costly penalties against the Jaguars and two big receptions from WR Tayo Akinboade and WR Jordan White, bringing the Mountaineers to the Jags' 20-yard line before finding the end zone with just 1:29 left in the first half. QB Sean Brown was able to flip the ball to Mehki Green on an option play as Green scooted for a 1-yard touchdown off his right side for the go-ahead 7-2 halftime lead.
The second half was all East Orange. "We tried everything from our normal playbook, but ultimately decided to go toe-to-toe with them," said Jaguars head coach Rae Oliver. He was speaking about the change in the game plan and sending running backs Leonard Munford (13 carries, 82 yards), Bryan Manuel (18 carries, 105 yards), and Burke (10 carries, 52 yards), and QB Nasir Montgomery (13 carries, 93 yards 1 TD, 12 for 18 passing, 123 yards, 1 TD) into the heart of the Mountaineer defense, led by DT Kevan McLaughlin and LB Dorian Rawls, who combined on 22 tackles and three sacks. The adjustment worked in favor of East Orange as they drove 32 yards in eight plays, capped by Montgomery's 1-yard sneak into the end zone with just 6:46 left in the third quarter.
East Orange found the end zone again when Montgomery found WR Kasim Daniels (5 receptions, 87 yards, 1 TD) on a screen pass. Daniels hit the spin cycle and cleared the sideline as he galloped for the 14-7 lead.
The conservative play was enough to keep West Orange from scoring again. "Plays by our backfield helped us go right at them," said Oliver. "The evidence showed our resilience as a team. We are going through some things that would not be otherwise positive if this was a different circumstance." He wouldn't divulge the issues, only to say that they are working to get it fixed and resolved immediately.
East Orange will face Livington on the road for the second year in the row where the Lancers are currently 4-1 this season and proving to be a surprise to all that face them. Meanwhile, the Mountaineers will face the Bulldogs of Passaic County Tech at home. Both games will be under the lights this Friday evening, Oct. 12, where both teams will play for their playoff spots in the new playoff system. Both teams are hopeful for the opportunity to play in the upcoming postseason.

1) I think last night's blog came across a little heavier on the emo-side than I had intended. But thank you for loving me and supporting me in my desires to fill the internet with endless malarkey for years to come.
2) Espen is still cute. As requested, I have included a photo of him, expertly snapped by his mother on her cellphone.
3) Today's blog improvement is something I've been wanting to do for ages, but never actually got around to. I added links to the "Ongoing Projects" section over in the right column so you can now read all the posts in a given project by just clicking on them. Aahhh, that feels good.
What a cute little man! Oh, and is that WHALE TUB I see? :) Love you.
Madsta, he does have brown eyes. We thought at first that they might be blue, but that only lasted a few days.


"Who needs a seven-fold tie? All that silk, multiple origami-like folds made by hand, hours to craft… And that's only manufacturing. Just wait until you have to proudly explain why your knot looks like a work of art…"
"Our handmade seven-fold ties take six times longer and twice the amount of silk to craft for a pristine knot and rich drape."
5 months ago Heard about you from Mark Levin. The products haven't made me as smart as him yet, but I look a hell of a lot smarter.

Chris Ramsey on hosting Children In Need tonight and his record-breaking podcast
The stand up comedian and prolific podcaster joined the Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky to talk about hosting tonight's charity extravaganza and his 'mind-bending' live tour with wife Rosie.
Speaking about Sh*gged. Married. Annoyed with his partner, he said: "So me and Rosie my lovely wife are touring the podcast and we started again on Monday in Manchester. That sold out but next week we hit The O2 for the podcast show which is just mind bending. Basically we unofficially became the biggest live podcast ever when we did Newcastle Arena in September. Then we unofficially beat that record in Wembley Arena when we sold out and now we're going to beat it again when we sell out The O2 next week. We're gonna hopefully get the Guinness Book of Records guy there with his little clicker and clipboard and hopefully get it official.
"In all honesty, we did the first few dates of the podcast tour before my stand up tour started. My stand up tour has essentially been sandwiched in between the two. So we did these first dates in September and it was like a concert. The lights go down and the people in the room lose their minds and start screaming like Justin Bieber's about to come on. It's amazing. And then, dare I say it, I went on my stand up tour and I was a little bit disappointed."
He laughed: "At Hammersmith Apollo, the lights went down and I could hear people putting their phones on silent and clearing their throats and I'm like, Oh, come on, man!
"Stand up is very much like, they settle in and they listen to the stories, but the podcast show is so fun. Rosie asked us at one point during the podcast tour, What are you enjoying more, your stand up or the podcast tour? And I was opening the second bottle of wine for the night and I was like, Guess which one I enjoy more? It's so good. It's so fun. The crowd are part of it and the second half of the show is different every night because Rosie sources a section of what we call Questions From The Public and we get questions from people and I don't know about them. So I sit there, glass of wine in hand and go in completely cold on the story she's about to tell me and I react with the crowd. It's just so fun and it's so different to stand up and it's so unique, it's brilliant. And all credit to my wife for doing most of the legwork.
"My favourite things to ever do is off the cuff. For years I've wanted to tour a show with no structure, nothing, just where you chat with the crowd for an hour and a half. But you can't rely on every crowd to do that. Some places don't want to do that. They just want to listen, but the podcast tour has proved that that is possible with the right kind of crowd."
He told Chris about the 1965 Jaguar Mk II donated by CarFest for tonight's festivities: "It's an incredible machine. It's beautiful. It's for an amazing cause. Thank you to you and CarFest for donating it. I think it's gonna blow people's minds."
He continued about the tear-jerking night: "It's so emotional and so emotive. I had to do some voiceovers the other day and I got sent some of the clips and I had to take a break… obviously I don't want to give anything away. It's not a whole night of sadness and drama. There's some incredibly funny stuff and some lovely heartwarming moments, and it's all for a good cause as you know but sometimes it really gets us, especially being a father myself.
"I'm gonna have to not watch the last 10 seconds of the videos because otherwise I'm just going to be a blubbing mess on tele and they're not going to know how to text in."
Children In Need is on tonight at 7pm on BBC One.
For more great interviews listen to The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky, weekdays from 6:30am on Virgin Radio, or catch up on-demand here.

Progi i bariery – program publicystyczny w Telewizji Polskiej nadawany w latach 1974–1978.

Historia

Redaktorem programu był Mariusz Walter, prezenterem Tadeusz Sznuk.
Według ogólnopolskich badań sondażowych przeprowadzonych w 1975 r. program oglądało 45% spośród badanych.
Program miał z założenia przedstawiać i propagować wartościowe wzorce osobowe i wyzwalać inicjatywy społeczne Polaków. Zapraszano do programu ludzi z różnych warstw społecznych, np.: jogina, modelarza okrętowego, komendanta Straży Pożarnej, lutnika amatora, iluzjonistę, zespół folklorystyczny. Każdy z zaproszonych do programu gości w ciągu 20 minut miał opowiedzieć o swoim życiu, pracy lub pasji. Uczestnicy starali się swoją opowieścią utrzymać zainteresowanie 19-osobowego jury. Każdy z jurorów miał możliwość zgaszenia swojej lampki, jeśli opowieść, według jego zdania, nie była ciekawa, po wygaszeniu 10 lampek przez jurorów uczestnik musiał zakończyć swoją opowieść i zejść ze sceny. Spośród zwycięzców co miesiąc wybierano jedną, najciekawszą osobę, która otrzymywała tytuł "Telewizyjny Człowiek Miesiąca". Uczestnikami programu byli m.in.: Jarosław Janowski – konstruktor amator z Łodzi, który zbudował samolot J-1 Prząśniczka w swoim mieszkaniu w kamienicy na II piętrze, Stanisław Górski – kolejarz z Ustrzyk Dolnych, który w wieku 10 lat nauczył się ćwiczyć jogę od Hindusa, został instruktorem jogi, "Tośtoki" Regionalny Zespół Folklorystyczny.

Disappearance of Isvara Puri
08 Mar 2013 1 Comment
by The Hare Krishna Movement in A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Disciplic succession, Isvara Puri, Sri Caitanya-Caritamrta Tags: disciple of madhavendra puri, Hare Krsna Maha-mantra, Isvara Puri, Lord Caitanya, Madhavendra Puri, spiritual master, spiritual master of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Caitanya-caritmrta, usvara-puri gosani fare
Today is the the Disappearance of Śrī Īśvara Purī who was the spiritual master of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Even though Lord Caitanya, the Supreme Godhead, did not need a spiritual master, He accepted Śrī Īśvara Purī as His guru to establish the importance of accepting a spiritual master. In honor of his disappearance we are posting one verse from the Sri Caitanya-caritmrta describing the service he rendered to his spiritual master Śrīla Mādhavendra Purī.
…"At the last stage of his life Śrī Mādhavendra Purī became an invalid and was completely unable to move, and Īśvara Purī so completely engaged himself in his service that he personally cleaned up his stool and urine. Always chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and reminding Śrī Mādhavendra Purī about the pastimes of Lord Kṛṣṇa in the last stage of his life, Īśvara Purī gave the best service among his disciples. Thus Mādhavendra Purī, being very pleased with him, blessed him, saying, 'My dear boy, I can only pray to Kṛṣṇa that He will be pleased with you.' Thus Īśvara Purī, by the grace of his spiritual master, Śrī Mādhavendra Purī, became a great devotee in the ocean of love of Godhead."
The Appearance of Radha-kund
by The Hare Krishna Movement in A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Radha-kunda, Sri Caitanya-Caritamrta, Srimati Radharani Tags: A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Adi 4.215, appearance of radha kund, gopis, Madhya-lila 18.3-7, Radha Kund, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Caitanya-caritmrta, Srimati Radharani
As today marks the appearance of Radha-kund we are honored to post from Srila Prabhupada's Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, a few select verses from Madhya-lila 18.3-7. Radha-kunda is considered to be the holiest place on earth for all Gaudiya Vaisnavas.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu danced in ecstasy, but when He arrived at Āriṭgrāma, His sense perception was awakened.
Āriṭ-grāma is also called Ariṣṭa-grāma. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu understood that in that village, Ariṣṭāsura was killed by Śrī Kṛṣṇa. While there, He inquired about Rādhā-kuṇḍa, but no one could tell Him where it was. The brāhmaṇa accompanying Him could also not ascertain its whereabouts. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu could then understand that the holy places known as Rādhā-kuṇḍa and Śyāma-kuṇḍa were at that time lost to everyone's vision. He therefore discovered Rādhā-kuṇḍa and Śyāma-kuṇḍa, which were two reservoirs of water in two paddy fields. Although there was very little water, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was omniscient and could understand that formerly these two ponds were called Śrī Rādhā-kuṇḍa and Śyāma-kuṇḍa. In this way Rādhā-kuṇḍa and Śyāma-kuṇḍa were discovered.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu asked the local people,"Where is Rādhā-kunda?" No one could inform Him, and the brāhmaṇa accompanying Him did not know either.
The Lord then understood that the holy place called Rādhā-kuṇḍa was no longer visible. However, being the omniscient Supreme Personality of Godhead, He discovered Rādhā-kuṇḍa and Śyāma-kuṇḍa in two paddy fields. There was only a little water, but He took His bath there.
When the people of the village saw Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu taking His bath in those two ponds in the middle of the paddy fields, they were very astonished. The Lord then offered His prayers to Śrī Rādhā-kuṇḍa.
"Of all the gopīs, Rādhārāṇī is the dearmost. Similarly, the lake known as Rādhā-kuṇḍa is very dear to the Lord because it is very dear to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.

Srila Prabhupada, His Movement and You
10 Sep 2011 1 Comment
by The Hare Krishna Movement in Hansadutta das, Nam Hatta, Practicing Krishna Consciousness at Home, Srila Prabhupada His Movement & You Tags: chanting Hare Krishna, guru, hansadutta das, ISKCON GBC, Lord Caitanya, Nam Hatta, Sri Caitanya-caritmrta, Srila Prabhupada
Devotees keep asking themselves, "How will the Krishna consciousness movement spread under the present circumstances?"
They observe the lame leadership and feel personally helpless to make any change or contribution toward rectifying the situation or themselves. The answer to this debilitating state of thought is to see one's self in the correct spiritual perspective. The devotees who helped Prabhupada spread his movement ISKCON are the same ones who can and will spread Krishna consciousness now and in the future. All that is required is that each individual devotee see himself as the servant of Prabhupada, now exactly as he was then (when Prabhupada was present)…
"The temple center is started just to present an example to the neighboring residents, how they can make a small temple in each and every home. It is not necessary that hundreds and thousands of people will live in our temple, but if we can make effective propaganda, then the neighboring residents, householders, will be inclined to be initiated and follow the modes of temple life. So you can encourage the visitors, boys and girls, as well as married couples, to understand the value of life and how they can peacefully and happily live if they follow the routine worship method in the temple and establish this in their home to be happy in all respects." (Srila Prabhupada, letter to Tamal Krishna, June 1, 1969)
Nam Hatta: The Onus is On You
By Sriman Hansadutta Prabhu
Because of the circumstances under which most of Prabhupada's early disciples joined the movement, a widespread misunderstanding has become a great obstacle for people in general to accept and practice Krishna consciousness in a realistic and progressive way under all circumstances. That misunderstanding is that a serious candidate for accepting and advancing in Krishna consciousness must abandon his worldly environment and responsibilities to join a temple ashram and live a communal or communistic life style under the rigid authority of an ISKCON GBC or guru. Nothing could be further from the truth, as we can plainly understand from the following descriptions of Lord Chaitanya's preaching method and Prabhupada's purports, which clearly support and obviously encourage the process introduced by Lord Chaitanya in His dealing with the Kurma brahmana and everyone He encountered throughout His two years of traveling and preaching in South India.

GCU LLB Law and Law Clinic Alumnus, Ian Laing, made his mark on the legal world when he landed an unprecedented traineeship at the WS Society.
Ian Laing was an honours law student here at GCU and in his 4th and final year, he earned the position of Student Director of the GCU Law Clinic 2015/16. During this whirlwind year, Ian had great success in the Law Clinic, forming an excellent team with great rapport. This was also the year the Law Clinic were finalists in the Scott + Co Scottish Legal Awards 2016, and the year that Ian and his fellow classmate, Ryan Bell, led the Law Clinic to victory in their first ever court appearance. Ian was also shortlisted for the GCU Student Associations 'Student of the Year' award, which is university wide.
Both the law department and Law Clinic here at GCU were sad to part with Ian upon his graduation as he went to embark upon obtaining a Diploma in Legal Practice. However, Ian has continued to support the GCU Law Clinic in a supervisory role as he remains a passionate advocate for increasing Access to Justice.
Ian Laing (right) being congratulated by CEO Robert Pirrie WS (left) on his first day as the first trainee solicitor (@thewssociety).
Following the successful completion of the diploma, Ian began his journey as trainee solicitor for the WS Society in September 2017.
Ian stated that, unlike a typical traineeship, there was no application process to land this role, as he already had a foot in the door. Ian initially secured a place on the WS Society summer internship programme in 2016, which he said he felt was due to the opportunities he had received as part of the GCU Law Clinic team.
As his time on this summer internship came to an end, Ian was then offered a legal assessment role within the team for the remainder of summer 2016 and subsequently part-time during his diploma year 2016/17.
Luckily for both Ian and the GCU Law Clinic, Ian's director is supportive of his desire to retain involvement in the Law Clinic and has even extended an invitation to the Law Clinic to attend WS events throughout the year. The Law Clinic is grateful that it will have the continued support of such a successful alumnus and ambassador for his successors of the Law Clinic, and we look forward to see what the future holds for Ian.

The Thai Cave Rescue Story Will Be Made Into A Movie
To be honest, we're not surprised.
Image: CNN
The success of the Thai cave rescue operation has touched the hearts of many people from all over the world.
The 12 teenage boys and their 25-year-old football coach who were trapped in a cave for more than two weeks finally got to see the light of day late Tuesday (10 July).
Despite having been stuck in a dark and closed space that will give a lot of people severe claustrophobia for so long, the boys remain in stable health and good spirits.
According to BBC, they are reportedly currently recovering in a hospital.
They will also have to stay quarantined for one week, which is why they will not be able to attend the World Cup finals in Russia even with the generous offer from FIFA.
As their story continues to make the rounds on social media and to the rest of the world, Hollywood is already planning to make a movie inspired by this.
And it's not just one film company eyeing to produce an adaptation.
At the moment, there are two companies racing to make the better movie and it hasn't even been a week since the boys tasted freedom!
Before all 13 were rescued, producers from Pure Flix Entertainment were already on-ground to speak to the rescue workers and family members of the trapped football squad.
Pure Flix joins the rest of the world in thanking God for answering prayers for the successful rescue of those trapped in the cave in Thailand.
Managing partner Michael Scott, from his home in Thailand, has been helping at the cave rescue in Chiang Rai the past 4 days. pic.twitter.com/htt1vN9oU1
— Pure Flix (@PureFlix) July 10, 2018
"We're here looking at this as a movie that could inspire millions of people around the globe," Pure Flix co-founder Michael Scott told Variety.
However, just one day after Pure Flix announced that they were seeking movie rights for the mission, another company expressed a similar intention.
Now You See Me 2 and Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu will be working with Ivanhoe Pictures to make a movie about the rescue operation as well.
The company is reportedly already in talks with Thai officials about the project.
More importantly, Chu made sure that his version of this story will not experience the typical Hollywood whitewashing.
I refuse to let Hollywood #whitewashout the Thai Cave rescue story! No way. Not on our watch. That won't happen or we'll give them hell. There's a beautiful story abt human beings saving other human beings. So anyone thinking abt the story better approach it right & respectfully.
— Jon M. Chu (@jonmchu) July 11, 2018
To be honest, we're not surprised to hear that somebody wants to make a movie out of this rescue effort.
The only question now is: Who is better at making us cry?

Q: How to set the camera light on torch in Tokbox? I am using TokBox for an android project. I need to add a button which would turn the flash light on torch mode.
Tokbox Publisher object already provides a swapCamera() method which switches between all the available cameras of the device. But I couldn't find any API to change the flash light mode for the currently selected camera.
I tried getting an instance of android.hardware.Camera myself to change it manually, but it didn't work because I got the "java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service" exception. It is because the Camera object is being used by Tokbox and is not released.
I could find no way to access the Camera instance that Tokbox is using either. It is even deprecated since android API level 21.
Can anyone suggest a way to change the camera parameters? I have access to the View that the video is being previewed on it.

A: I needed to stop the stream to be able to start the camera app to take a picture. I've found code to release the camera and attach it. Maybe you can use this code to release the camera, turn on the light and then attach the camera again
The following code releases the camera:
public void ReleaseCamera()
    {
        if (_myPub != null) {
            _myPub.PublishVideo = false;

            BaseVideoCapturer bvc = _myPub.Capturer;
            if (bvc != null) {
                bvc.StopCapture ();
                bvc.Destroy ();
            }
        }
    }

And this code attaches the camera again:
public void AttachCamera()
    {
        if (_myPub != null) {
            BaseVideoCapturer bvc = _myPub.Capturer;
            if (bvc != null) {
                if (bvc.IsCaptureStarted == false) {
                    bvc.Init ();
                    bvc.StartCapture ();
                    _myPub.PublishVideo = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }

A: torch light will work only with back camera, so if you are publishing video with front camera then it will freez tokbox video.
if(publisher.cameraPosition == .back){

        if let device = AVCaptureDevice.defaultDevice(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo), device.hasTorch {
            do {
                try device.lockForConfiguration()
                let torchOn = !device.isTorchActive
                try device.setTorchModeOnWithLevel(1.0)
                device.torchMode = torchOn ? .on : .off
                device.unlockForConfiguration()
            } catch {
                print("error")
            }
        }
    }

Berkeley DB Reference Guide:
Access Methods

Disk space requirements

It is possible to estimate the total database size based on the size of
the data.  The following calculations are an estimate of how many bytes
you will need to hold a set of data and then how many pages it will take
to actually store it on disk.

Space freed by deleting key/data pairs from a Btree or Hash database is
never returned to the filesystem, although it is reused where possible.
This means that the Btree and Hash databases are grow-only.  If enough
keys are deleted from a database that shrinking the underlying file is
desirable, you should create a new database and copy the records from
the old one into it.

These are rough estimates at best. For example, they do not take into
account overflow records, filesystem metadata information, large sets
of duplicate data items (where the key is only stored once), or
real-life situations where the sizes of key and data items are wildly
variable, and the page-fill factor changes over time.

Btree

The formulas for the Btree access method are as follows:

useful-bytes-per-page = (page-size - page-overhead) * page-fill-factor

bytes-of-data = n-records *
    (bytes-per-entry + page-overhead-for-two-entries)

n-pages-of-data = bytes-of-data / useful-bytes-per-page

total-bytes-on-disk = n-pages-of-data * page-size

The useful-bytes-per-page is a measure of the bytes on each page
that will actually hold the application data.  It is computed as the total
number of bytes on the page that are available to hold application data,
corrected by the percentage of the page that is likely to contain data.
The reason for this correction is that the percentage of a page that
contains application data can vary from close to 50% after a page split
to almost 100% if the entries in the database were inserted in sorted
order.  Obviously, the page-fill-factor can drastically alter
the amount of disk space required to hold any particular data set.  The
page-fill factor of any existing database can be displayed using the
db_stat utility.

The page-overhead for Btree databases is 26 bytes.  As an example, using
an 8K page size, with an 85% page-fill factor, there are 6941 bytes of
useful space on each page:

6941 = (8192 - 26) * .85

The total bytes-of-data is an easy calculation: It is the
number of key or data items plus the overhead required to store each
item on a page.  The overhead to store a key or data item on a Btree
page is 5 bytes.  So, it would take 1560000000 bytes, or roughly 1.34GB
of total data to store 60,000,000 key/data pairs, assuming each key or
data item was 8 bytes long:

1560000000 = 60000000 * ((8 + 5) * 2)

The total pages of data, n-pages-of-data, is the
bytes-of-data divided by the useful-bytes-per-page.  In
the example, there are 224751 pages of data.

224751 = 1560000000 / 6941

The total bytes of disk space for the database is n-pages-of-data
multiplied by the page-size.  In the example, the result is
1841160192 bytes, or roughly 1.71GB.

1841160192 = 224751 * 8192

Hash

The formulas for the Hash access method are as follows:

useful-bytes-per-page = (page-size - page-overhead)

bytes-of-data = n-records *
    (bytes-per-entry + page-overhead-for-two-entries)

n-pages-of-data = bytes-of-data / useful-bytes-per-page

total-bytes-on-disk = n-pages-of-data * page-size

The useful-bytes-per-page is a measure of the bytes on each page
that will actually hold the application data.  It is computed as the total
number of bytes on the page that are available to hold application data.
If the application has explicitly set a page-fill factor, pages will
not necessarily be kept full.  For databases with a preset fill factor,
see the calculation below.  The page-overhead for Hash databases is 26
bytes and the page-overhead-for-two-entries is 6 bytes.

As an example, using an 8K page size, there are 8166 bytes of useful space
on each page:

8166 = (8192 - 26)

The total bytes-of-data is an easy calculation: it is the number
of key/data pairs plus the overhead required to store each pair on a page.
In this case that's 6 bytes per pair.  So, assuming 60,000,000 key/data
pairs, each of which is 8 bytes long, there are 1320000000 bytes, or
roughly 1.23GB of total data:

1320000000 = 60000000 * (16 + 6)

The total pages of data, n-pages-of-data, is the
bytes-of-data divided by the useful-bytes-per-page.  In
this example, there are 161646 pages of data.

161646 = 1320000000 / 8166

The total bytes of disk space for the database is n-pages-of-data
multiplied by the page-size.  In the example, the result is
1324204032 bytes, or roughly 1.23GB.

1324204032 = 161646 * 8192

Now, let's assume that the application specified a fill factor explicitly.
The fill factor indicates the target number of items to place on a single
page (a fill factor might reduce the utilization of each page, but it can
be useful in avoiding splits and preventing buckets from becoming too
large).  Using our estimates above, each item is 22 bytes (16 + 6), and
there are 8166 useful bytes on a page (8192 - 26).  That means that, on
average, you can fit 371 pairs per page.

371 = 8166 / 22

However, let's assume that the application designer knows that although
most items are 8 bytes, they can sometimes be as large as 10, and it's
very important to avoid overflowing buckets and splitting.  Then, the
application might specify a fill factor of 314.

314 = 8166 / 26

With a fill factor of 314, then the formula for computing database size
is

n-pages-of-data = npairs / pairs-per-page

or 191082.

191082 = 60000000 / 314

At 191082 pages, the total database size would be 1565343744, or 1.46GB.

1565343744 = 191082 * 8192

There are a few additional caveats with respect to Hash databases.  This
discussion assumes that the hash function does a good job of evenly
distributing keys among hash buckets.  If the function does not do this,
you may find your table growing significantly larger than you expected.
Secondly, in order to provide support for Hash databases coexisting with
other databases in a single file, pages within a Hash database are
allocated in power-of-two chunks.  That means that a Hash database with 65
buckets will take up as much space as a Hash database with 128 buckets;
each time the Hash database grows beyond its current power-of-two number
of buckets, it allocates space for the next power-of-two buckets.  This
space may be sparsely allocated in the file system, but the files will
appear to be their full size.  Finally, because of this need for
contiguous allocation, overflow pages and duplicate pages can be allocated
only at specific points in the file, and this too can lead to sparse hash
tables.

Q: How to give more number with cin.get() in c++? I want to get a very large number from the user and put the each individual digits of that number in rows of an array, respectively.
That's why I wrote this code in  c++.
But when I running code and copy that big number and paste in windows Cmd it only receives 4094 digits and does not allow to write more numbers.
How to fix this?
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int size=0;
    int *a=NULL;
    int *b=NULL;
    int count=0;
    char x='0';

    a=new int[size];
    x=cin.get();  //input by user

    while(isdigit(x)!=0)
        {
            if(count>=size)
            {
                 b=new int[size+1];
                 for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
                 {
                     b[i]=a[i];
                 }
                 delete []a;
                 a=b;
                 size++;
            }
            a[count++]=x-'0';
            x=cin.get();  //input by user
        }

         cout<<size;
    }

A: Experimentation has shown me that the Windows cmd.exe has a maximum command line length of approximately 4094 * 2. On my Windows 10 64bit machine I am able to enter a maximum of 8189 characters before it stops allowing me to enter more. This means when I enter a sequence of digits separated by spaces, the most I can possibly enter in a single prompt is 4095 individual digits.
Here's the official Microsoft documentation on the subject:
Command prompt (Cmd. exe) command-line string limitation
Which states:

On computers running Microsoft Windows XP or later, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 8191 characters. On computers running Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 2047 characters.
This limitation applies to the command line, individual environment variables (such as the PATH variable) that are inherited by other processes, and all environment variable expansions. If you use Command Prompt to run batch files, this limitation also applies to batch file processing.

Microsoft even offers some guidance on how to work around this.

Modify programs that require long command lines so that they use a file that contains the parameter information, and then include the name of the file in the command line.

In your case you're using cin, but the same limitation seems to hold.
What this indicates is your problem lies in the method of entry to the particular prompt. There's a limit to how much can be entered at once.

The Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF), a nonprofit engaged in positioning Latino leaders in the classroom, community, and workforce, hosted two Coding as a Second Language (CSL) boot camps sponsored by Infosys Foundation USA. These boot camps were organized for 75 students of West MckenInburg High School and Rocky River High School, in Charlotte, North Carolina. CSL is a national initiative that introduces young people to computer programming and makes technical training and careers accessible to students across the country.
These coding boot camps introduced students to computer science through a block-based learning curriculum. At the boot camps, students learned to build games and gaming applications. Students loved the boot camps and the mentors gained excellent exposure to a diverse group of students. Computer science is an important facet of education as it helps young people build necessary skills for success at school, work, and life.
HHF is committed to providing students with resources to technology, and Infosys's vision is possible by allowing students to stay connected with year-round access to the Latinos on Fast Track (LOFT) Innovation leadership and workforce development programs including STEM symposia, innovation fellowships, youth awards, mentoring and other work-based learning opportunities.
