What is Group Emotion?
Group emotion refers to the moods, emotions and dispositional affects of a group of people. It can be seen as either an emotional entity influencing individual members' emotional states (top down) or the sum of the individuals' emotional states (bottom up).
Top Down Approach
This view sees the group's dynamic processes as responsible for an elusive feeling state which influences the members' feelings and behaviour. This view, that groups have an existence as entities beyond the characters that comprise them, has several angles.
Effects on Individuals
One angle of this approach was depicted in early works such as Le Bon's and Freud's who reasoned that there is a general influence of a crowd or group which makes the members of the group "feel, think and act" differently than they would have as isolated individuals. The reassurance of belonging to a crowd makes people act more extremely. Also, the intense uniformity of feelings is overwhelming and causes people to be emotionally swept to join the group's atmosphere. Thus, the effect of the group causes emotions to be exaggerated.
Another aspect of the group as a whole perspective sees the normative forces a group has on its members' emotional behaviour such as norms for the amount of feelings' expression and even which emotions it is best to feel. The group's norms control which emotions would (or at least should) be displayed at a specific situation according to the group's best interest and goals. The norms help differentiate felt emotions, what the individuals actually feel, from expressed emotions, what they display in the current situation. This perspective has practical implications as shown by researchers. Thus, according to this angle the group causes the emotions to be moderated and controlled.
Binding Force
Another perspective emphasizes the importance of emotional attraction in group settings. It defines group emotion as members' desire to be together, and finds that emotional ties are a type of glue which holds groups together and influences the group's cohesiveness and the commitment to the task. This perspective focuses on the positive emotions of liking the other group members and the task at hand.
This perspective of the group as a whole approach studies the dynamic development of the group, from its establishment to its disassembly. Along the course the group changes in its interrelationships and interdependence amongst its members. These changes are accompanied by emotional processes which shape the outcome of the group. For instance, the midpoint in a group's development is characterised by anxiety and anticipation about the capacity of the team to complete its goals, which drives teams to restructure their interaction patterns following the midpoint. Should the group harness these feelings and overcome the crisis stronger, its chances of completing the group's goals are higher. In other cases, negative emotions towards members of the group or towards the task might jeopardise the group's existence. This perspective sees the temporal changes of the emotions that govern the group.
Contrary to the former approach, this approach views group-level emotion as the sum of its individuals' affective compositions. These affective compositions are actually the emotional features each member brings with them to the group, such as: dispositional affect, mood, acute emotions, emotional intelligence, and sentiments (affective evaluations of the group). The team affective composition approach helps to understand the group emotion and its origins, and how these individual members' affective predisposition combine to become one common entity. For the purpose of combining these individual characteristics, one can embrace several viewpoints:
Average Mood
Research has shown that by averaging the members' dispositional affective tone it is possible to predict group-level behaviour such as absenteeism and prosocial behaviour. Also, when the average mood of employees was positive, it was positively related to the team's performance.
Emotional Variance
Affective-homogenous groups are expected to behave differently from heterogeneous ones. The verdict is yet to be decided as to whether homogeneity is better than heterogeneity. In favour of affective homogeneity stand the notion that familiarity and similarity bring feelings of liking, comfort and positive emotions, and thus presumably better group outcomes and performances. It has long been found that people prefer to be in a group similar to them in many perspectives. A support for the positive effects of homogeneity can be found in a study that examined homogeneity in managers' positive affectivity (PA) and its influence on several aspects of performance such as satisfaction, cooperation and financial outcome of the organisation. On the other hand, according to the view of opposites being beneficial, affective heterogeneity may lead to more emotional checks and balances which could then lead to better team performance. This was found to be true especially in groups where creativity is needed to complete the task appropriately. Homogeneity might lead to groupthink and hamper performance. It is necessary though for group members in heterogeneous groups to accept and allow one another to enact their different emotional roles.
Emotionally Extreme Members
Even if there is only one member in an otherwise averaged group which is extremely negative (or positive) in effect, that person might influence the affective state of the other members and cause the group to be much more negative (or positive) than would be expected from its mean-level dispositional affect. This mood shift might happen through emotional contagion, in which members are "infected" by others' emotions, as well as through other processes. Emotional contagion has been observed even in absence of non-verbal cues, for example on online social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Combining Approaches
The above approaches can be combined in a way that they maintain reciprocal relations. For instance, members bring dispositional affective states and norms for expressing them to the team. These components are then factors determining the creation of group norms, which may in turn alter the moods, feelings and their expression by the members. Thus, the top-down and bottom-up approaches coalesce along the dynamic formation and lifespan of teams.
Empirical Definition
One study compared the reports of team members to reports of outside-observers. It showed that team affect and emotions were observable by and agreed upon by outsiders as well as by members of the team interacting face to face. So, it is possible to identify the group's affective tone by aggregating self-reports of members of the group, as well as by viewing the group from the outside and looking for emotional gestures, both verbal and nonverbal.
Affecting Group Emotion
Studies show that the leader of the team has an important part in determining the moods of their team's members. Such that members of a team with a leader in a negative affective state tend to be more negative themselves than members of teams with a leader in a positive mood. However, any member of the group might influence the other members' emotions. The leader may do so either by way of implicit, automatic, emotional contagion or by explicit, deliberate, emotional influence in order to promote his interests. Other factors that affect the forming of the group's emotional state are its emotional history, its norms for expressing feelings and the broader organisational norms regarding emotions.
Influence on Performance
The emotional state of the group influences team processes and outcomes. For example, a group in a positive mood displays more coordination between members, yet sometimes the effort they apply is not as high as groups in a negative mood. Another role emotions play in group dynamics and performance is the relation between intra-group task-conflicts and relationship-conflicts. It is assumed that conflicts related to the task can be beneficial for achieving the goal, unless these task-conflicts lead to relationship-conflicts among the team members, in which case the performance is hindered. The traits that decouple task from relationship conflicts are emotional attributes such as emotional intelligence, intragroup relational ties, and norms for reducing or preventing negative emotionality. Hence aspects of group emotion affect the outcome. Other findings are that an increase in positive mood will lead to greater cooperativeness and less group conflict. Also, positive mood results in elevated perceptions of task performance.
Evolutionary-Psychological Perspective
According to the evolutionary psychology approach, group affect has a function of helping communication between members of the group. The emotional state of the group informs its members about factors in the environment. For instance, if everyone is in a bad mood it is necessary to change the conditions, or perhaps work harder to achieve the goal and improve the conditions. Also, shared affect in groups coordinates group activity through fostering group bonds and group loyalty.
Emotional Aperture
Emotional aperture has been defined as the ability or skill to perceive features of group emotions. Examples of features of group emotions include the level of variability of emotions among members (i.e. affective diversity), the proportion of positive or negative emotions, and the modal (i.e. most common) emotion present in a group. The term "emotional aperture" was first defined by the social psychologist, Jeffrey Sanchez-Burks and organisational theorist, Quy Huy. Analogous to adjusting a camera's aperture setting to increase depth of field, emotional aperture involves adjusting one's depth of field to bring into focus not solely the emotions of one person but also others scattered across a visual landscape. The difference between perceiving individual-level emotions versus group-level emotions is builds upon the distinction between analytic versus holistic perception.

Word Origin: Formerly Ns, Nielsbohrium. Named in honor of Niels Bohr.
Sources: Bohrium is a man-made element. In 1976, Soviet scientists at Dubna announced they had synthesized element 107 by bombarding Bi-204 with heavy nuclei of Cr-54. There are reports that the element was 'glimpsed' for 2/1000 s in 1975. Bohrium was produced by bombarding a rapidly rotating cylinder target, coated with a thin layer of bismuth metal, with a stream of tangentially fired Cr-54 ions. West German physicists at the Heavy Ion Research Laboratory at Darmstadt verified the existence of element 107, creating and identifying six nuclei of Bohrium.

I am using the exact same code as in the jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/u3tq89wg/ in a clean installation but it works only the first time. It doesn't updated after I open the second dropdown. I don't get any console errors.
Can you please give me a working example?


There were 8 of us staying at this condo/apartment. Ages 17 to 40+.
The photos are great but seeing it in reality is better. The kitch is well equipt with american style Fridge. The lounge and Dining is open plan which leads out to a huge terrace that has a larger dining table. There are steps leading down through your back yard and a cobbled walkway down to the pool. There were 2 small barbecues at the apartment but a larger one at the poolside dining area which is open for all to use.
There is a poolman/gardener that does his daily rounds.
All 3 bedrooms are great size. There is one on the top floor with wardrobe. 2nd floor which is same level as frontdoor has 2 further bedroom. One with family bathroom and another with its own onsuite. The onsuite is walk in shower with 2 shower heads one at each end. We all use this shower the most. Both of these bedrooms open onto a back balcony which overlooks he pool off to the left and green land around, aso with a view of the ocean in the distance.
The groundfloor houss the kitchen, lounge and dining. The sofra is huge its like the size of 3 single beds push together. The tv big size and the Internet was very reliable.
We enjoyedoursleves and wou;ld recommend to out friends and Family.
Landlord apartmet is a few doors down so any issues he was happy to help.
Taxi to Old Town (market stalls) or New town (shopping mall) was only 9 or 11 Euro. To the Strip where all the bars are was about 15 Euro. As we were a big group we needed a mini van to get around, we found Gale taxi and stuck with them for the whole tme. Srrvice was great and really helpful. They have all pricesprinted up so you can ask upfront the cost.
There is a well stocked supwermarket at the bottom of the hill. Its a trek back up but well worth the exercise and I am not much o a walker.
Thank you very much for a positive and very well descriptive review.
Hopefully you will come again in near future.

To recover a lost or stolen device, the technique of tracking course handy. It helps one to find the current location during travel. It also helps to keep track of loved ones. Tracking was done with the help of Global positioning satellite or GPS chip. This chip was installed in newer version of phone and can be installed in older models too. GPS offers a lot of services for tracking.
For this initially one requires a cell phone installed with GPS, a GPS enables cell service provider and a computer with internet access.
Get the cell phone fixed with GPS chip. Most new phones have it already installed. For older phones chips can be bought at cell phone stores if the phone accepts one.
Verify with the cell phone service company if network has GPS capability. Most of largest services as Verizon, AT and T provide the service.
Find the location-based service which has ties with the cell phone service provider.
Log on to the location-based service provider's address. Follow the steps provided to download the software and subscribe the same connect the phone to be tracked using phone cable. Then using the provided instructions load GPS tracking software from computer into cell phone and activate the same, if required, using the phones menu.
Give the phone to user and log on to the location-based service providers tracking website. Based on the service, phones location on a Google or Map Quest grid. Few services also give few other services as at what speed the phone is travelling, the altitude and so on.
For the tracking device to work, the cell phone must be turned on.
If you want the owner not to know of being tracked, then delete the text which was sent after downloading the location-based service provider which states that it was being subjected to GPS tracking.
GPS tracking requires extra battery power.

Al Zubarah Class Corvettes, Qatar
Lockheed to upgrade electronic warfare systems on US Navy's fleet
Lockheed Martin has secured a $154m contract with the US Navy to upgrade the electronic warfare systems on its fleet.
The low-rate initial production contract covers Block 2 of the navy's surface electronic warfare improvement programme (SEWIP).
Under the deal, the company will supply systems to upgrade the AN / SLQ-32 systems on the US aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, and other warships.
The upgrade will provide the navy's fleet with capabilities to determine if a vessel is being tracked by the electronic sensors of other ships.
Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training electronic warfare programme director Joe Ottaviano said: "We're proud to continue supporting the US navy with capabilities delivered on schedule to rapidly introduce new technology to the sailors.
"This contract allows us to continue providing much needed technological advance."
"Our fleets are facing a rapidly changing threat environment in theatres across the globe.
"This contract allows us to continue providing much needed technological advances that will help outpace our adversaries and protect our warfighters."
The company plans to perform work under the contract at its facility in Syracuse, New York.
SEWIP Block 2 is designed to provide enhanced electronic support (ES) capability for the AN / SLQ-32. It involves an upgraded ES antenna, ES receiver and an open combat system interface.
The programme achieved Milestone C in January 2013 with the receipt of approval to commence low rate initial production.
Lockheed was selected to provide 24 systems in 2013 and 2014, as part of the low-rate initial production, and has delivered ten systems to the navy on schedule.

Q: Extracting and logging only value of a key in fluentd I have an input file with JSON messages (line delimited). The format of the messages is as below.
{"level":"info","message":{"accountId":99,"end_dateTime":"","id":0.22837359658442535,"log":[]}}
{"level":"info","message":{"accountId":100,"end_dateTime":"","id":0.2583,"log":[]}}
{"level":"info","message":{"accountId":200,"end_dateTime":"","id":0.5783,"log":[]}}

I wanted to save the message part of it in the mongo database using fluentd. In mongo, the data in the collection should look like the below.
{
    "_id": ObjectId("626a1b813c04335a858e5926"),
    "accountId": 99,
    "end_dateTime": "",
    "id": 0.22837359658442535,
    "log": []
}

I wanted to extract and save only the value of the message key of the input payload.
I have tried using the below config, but it is not working.
<source>
  @type tail
  @id input_tail2
  read_from_head true
  path "/opt/webhook-logs/webhook.log"
  pos_file "/opt/webhook-logs/webhook.log.pos"
  tag "td.mongo.events"
  <parse>
    @type "json"
    unmatched_lines
  </parse>
</source>
<match td.mongo.**>
  @type mongo
  host "127.0.0.1"
  port 27017
  database "vonnect"
  collection "webhooklog"
  user "vonnect"
  password xxxxxx
  buffer_chunk_limit 8m
  time_key time
  <buffer>
    flush_interval 2s
  </buffer>
  <inject>
    time_key time
  </inject>
</match>

I have tried record transformer filter too but no success. The filter config looks like
<filter td.mongo.**>
  @type record_transformer
  renew_record true
  # enable_ruby
  # auto_typecast true
  <record>
    ${record["message"]}
  </record>
</filter>

A: Here's a working example with record_transformer and parser filter plugin:
fluent.conf
<source>
  @type sample
  @id in_sample
  sample [
    {"level":"info","message":{"accountId":99,"end_dateTime":"","id":0.22837359658442535,"log":[]}},
    {"level":"info","message":{"accountId":100,"end_dateTime":"","id":0.2583,"log":[]}},
    {"level":"info","message":{"accountId":200,"end_dateTime":"","id":0.5783,"log":[]}}
  ]
  tag sample
</source>

<filter sample>
  @type record_transformer
  renew_record true
  keep_keys message
  enable_ruby true
  <record>
    message ${record["message"].to_json.to_s}
  </record>
</filter>

<filter sample>
  @type parser
  key_name message
  reserve_data true
  remove_key_name_field true
  <parse>
    @type json
  </parse>
</filter>

<match sample>
  @type stdout
</match>

Run:
fluentd -c fluent.conf

Output:
2022-04-28 14:04:29.094892632 +0500 sample: {"accountId":99,"end_dateTime":"","id":0.22837359658442535,"log":[]}
2022-04-28 14:04:30.097973274 +0500 sample: {"accountId":100,"end_dateTime":"","id":0.2583,"log":[]}
2022-04-28 14:04:31.000677835 +0500 sample: {"accountId":200,"end_dateTime":"","id":0.5783,"log":[]}

record_transformer removes the extra keys and keeps message with its value converted to a plain string. parser then removes the message key and expands its string value as JSON.

When I saw the rioter sitting in Senate chambers in the recently vacated chair of U.S. Vice President Mike Pence yesterday, I was reminded of the insurrection at George Orwell's Manor Farm.
The farm animals recognized the unfairness of their plight as workers with little recompense. They chased off the humans and declared their ownership of the renamed Animal Farm.
"Two legs good; four legs bad," became the summation of their seven commandments. For a while, barnyard society was equitable, but the pigs kept treating themselves better, starting with getting all the milk and apples.
At the fable's end, a contingent of human neighbors, including a Mr. Pilkington, visits the farm, where the pigs had adopted outlawed human customs, such as wearing clothes and drinking liquor. A quarrel ensued at a game of cards in which Napoleon, a pig, and Pilkington each played an ace of spades simultaneously.
"Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question now what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which."
Totalitarianism is a theme of Orwell's Animal Farm. Those in power, such as U.S. President Donald Trump, care only about maintaining power by whatever means, again, like Trump.
However, Orwell may be too complimentary to the rioters as his animals began with a political philosophy.
The Trump mob was more akin to the opportunistic Wild Wooders -- the ferrets, stoats and weasels -- who took over Toad Hall in the absence of Mr. Toad in Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows.
"We're home," shouted one woman, as she and a horde stormed the Capitol.
As thousands wreaked mayhem in Washington, D.C., there were four deaths and 68 arrests. If those people were Black or Black Lives Matter members, the numbers would have been much higher. Before the horrific death of George Floyd, a black man, in May and the subsequent protests for racial justice, this acknowledgment would have been shared only by Black Americans with each other. Instead, most everyone said the same, recognizing the inequality., and indeed, the white privilege, which was brazen.
It is heartening that this truth has been seen by other people. Nevertheless, I just want the needless deaths of African Americans to be contained in history books, not spill into the news. Only the day before the failed insurrection, the police officer who shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back, paralyzing him from the waist down, was not charged in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The officer is, however, still on administrative leave -- not certain if it is paid -- as though that is punishment enough.
After yesterday's sedition, we see that it is possible for police to quell a heated situation -- even an attempted coup -- without a massive death count. The number of arrests, however, was ridiculously low. Trump supporters explored the inside of the Capitol, like marauders. They sauntered outside the Capitol, as if at a state fair. Thousands ignored the 6 p.m. District of Columbia curfew. One terrorist took a selfie of himself with a police officer.
Earlier yesterday, the Democrats won two Senate seats in Georgia, making a 50-50 Democratic-Republican split in the upper house of Congress. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, also a Democrat, will cast any tie-breaking votes. Currently, the Democrats also hold a majority in the House of Representatives, which is the lower house in the bicameral legislature.
Among the Democrats, there was celebration.
Yet, we have to move from the dichotomy between the two parties that began 30 years ago and has widened in the toxic Trump administration. Coalition governments are common in Europe and key to expressing the concerns of citizens.
In Portugal, for example, President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, a member of the center-right Social Democrats, and Prime Minister Antonio Costa, a member of the center-left Socialist Party, work together. The president is running for re-election later this month.
Coalition governments demand respect for parties other than your own. With that respect comes listening to each other.
Both the Republican and Democratic parties could do with some listening. Both could benefit from stronger platforms, especially, during this time of environmental ruin, global pandemic and racial injustice.
We need to help each other.
The Democrats know what they do not want: Trump. Now, the Republicans need to distance themselves from the man who incited chaos on the day that Congress met to recognize formally President-elect Joe Biden's victory. The Trump mob believes that the election was stolen from its leader.
The two main parties can gain much from each other as well as third parties, such as the Libertarians and the Greens. We need to dispel assumptions, which shut us off from each other.
Several of my Democratic friends have been asking:
"Where are my Republican friends?"
Back at the farm, there is only one ace of spades in a deck of cards. The pigs and the humans had become one and the same: cheats.

Elections officials: Voting system secure
Posted: Aug 14, 2018 8:45 AM CST
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Latest on Wisconsin's primary election (all times local):
Wisconsin election officials insist the state's voting systems are safe from hackers as ballots are cast in Tuesday's primary.
Intelligence gathered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security indicates Russia targeted Wisconsin's elections system in 2016. Nothing showed the system was compromised, however.
Wisconsin Elections Commission spokesman Reid Magney says that since 2016 the system has been encrypted, or converted to code.
He says the commission also has trained local clerks on cybersecurity measures. He adds that each clerk has a limited reach in the state system. If they inadvertently give a hacker access, perhaps by clicking on a strange email, the hacker couldn't get very far.
Magney notes that vote-counting computers aren't linked to the internet and the official vote counts are recorded on paper tape print-outs.
Polls are open for Wisconsin's primary election. The Wisconsin Elections Commission is reminding voters that they may only vote for candidates in one party in the primary.
Voters will also need an acceptable photo ID in order to cast their ballots. Eligible voters can register at the polls Tuesday if they have a document that proves their residency or address.
Polls will be open until 8 p.m.
For more information about what's on your ballot, how to find your polling place, and other election information, please click here.
Wisconsin's primary election will decide which Democrat challenges Republican Gov. Scott Walker this fall and whom Republicans back in a big-money race for U.S. Senate.
Tuesday's primaries will also set the fall ballot for many other races, including the fight to replace Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Eight Democrats are vying to challenge Walker. Polls showed state schools chief Tony Evers with a double-digit lead over the field.
State Sen. Leah Vukmir and management consultant Kevin Nicholson were vying for the GOP Senate nod. Vukmir has the Wisconsin Republican Party endorsement, but Nicholson has benefited from millions spent by outside groups. The winner will face Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

Q: Lookup for some object I have a picklist that contains list of viable objects like account and user, for example, and I want, based on value of this picklist, make "lookup" for records of this object. I thought of somehow utilizing apex:inputfields. But it seems like it won't work. Similar functionality realized in email templates when user test them with existing data, but I haven't come up with idea how to mimic it.

A: You could just fire the action function when user change his selection, perform the query like this one:
String objectName = 'someObject'; // object name retrieved from picklist
List<sObject> sobjList = Database.query('SELECT Id FROM :objectName');

Then fill some collection in your VF page and rerender it. Using the ids of the objects, you could create a lookup links as well.

Discendente di Elia Delmedigo e allievo di Galileo Galilei, impiegò la Qabbalah nello studio della fisica e fu fiero avversario di Aristotele e della Scolastica. Joseph Solomon Qandia Delmedigo è stato un rabbino, autore, medico, matematico e teorico musicale.

La sua opera più conosciuta è Elim (1692), raccolta di 12 generali e 70 specifici quesiti con relative responsa postegli da un caraita lituano, Zerach ben Natan.

Biografia
Nato a Candia, Creta, si trasferì a Padova a 15 anni, studiando medicina e prendendo lezioni con Galileo in astronomia. Dopo la laurea nel 1613 si trasferì a Venezia e trascorse un anno assieme a Leone da Modena e Simone Luzzato. Da Venezia ritornò a Candia e da lì ha iniziato un viaggio nel vicino Oriente, raggiungendo Alessandria e Cairo. Vi si recò in occasione di una disputa pubblica in matematica contro un matematico locale. Dall'Egitto si trasferì a Istanbul, dove osservò la cometa del 1619. Dopo Istanbul ha vagato per le comunità Karaite in Europa orientale e arrivò ad Amsterdam nel 1623. Infine morì a Praga. Nel corso della sua vita ovunque egli soggiornò si guadagnò da vivere come medico e/o insegnante. La sua unica opera pubblicata è Elim (Palme), che si occupa di matematica, astronomia, scienze naturali e metafisica, così come alcune lettere e saggi.

Come Delmedigo scrive nel suo libro, egli seguì le lezioni di Galileo Galilei durante l'anno accademico, 1609-1610. Negli anni successivi egli spesso si riferisce a Galilei come "rabbi Galileo". Elijah Montalto, medico di Maria de Medici, è anche menzionato come uno dei suoi insegnanti.

List of UDRP Resources and a Proposed Keynote System
By Marty Schwimmer on December 2, 2002
Ethan Katsh, professor and member of the UDRP Task Force, has drafted a proposal for refinement of databases containing UDRP decisions, to allow in effect for keynote-style searching. While I think he is a little too harsh on the status quo of UDRP databases, his proposal is worthwhile and the document itself is an invaluable list of UDRP resources.
When reading the proposal, two thoughts occurred to me. The first is that while in comparison to what electronic publishing makes possible, yes, the UDRP database could be made better but in the context of comparing UDRP research to, for example, U.S. civil litigation research, where one either has to have access to West publications or Lexis databases, the UDRP is universally available and universally affordable.
Second, Professor Katsh's proposed "keynote" system for the UDRP may represent a more user-friendly method of categorizing caselaw. This may not actually empower the layperson and "dis-intermediate" the lawyer, but some laypeople may think that it does. Disclosure – I am a lawyer and I only approve of dis-intermediating lawyers other than myself.

Visit the ancient town of Herculaneum, one of the lesser-known towns covered by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., on a half-day tour from Sorrento. Walk through the archeological site and see the many buildings that have been preserved for centuries, until the discovery of the town in 1709.
Your trip begins with a morning departure from Sorrento as you travel to Castellammare. This excursion includes headsets that will be given out by the guides on the coach during the journey. Join the motorway at Castellammare and listen along as you head toward Naples, where you will arrive in Herculaneum. Upon arrival at the entrance to the site, your guide will wait for you to pay your entrance fees before beginning the tour. Once in, you will have the chance to view the town from above before heading down and beginning the guided tour, which lasts about an hour. The buildings have been so well preserved that you can walk down the streets pretty much exactly as the Romans would have done more than 2,000 years ago! There are skeletons that remain in Herculaneum, but it was believed that many of the inhabitants of the town managed to successfully flee, unlike those not so fortunate in Pompeii.
The tour takes in many of the most important sites, including the public baths with their frescoes and mosaics, along with the shops and gymnasium and much more. It is a fascinating tour of possibly one of the world's best-preserved examples of a Roman residential town, brought to life by the years of study and knowledge of local guides.

Q: Tree-based communication in MPI barrier This below link describes the barrier implementation in MPI (Message Passing Interface).
How is barrier implemented in message passing systems?
However, tree-based communication in MPI barrier is not described. What will be the implementation of tree-based communication in MPI barrier?

A: Since the major implementations OpenMPI and MPICH2 are open source and some commercial flavors are besed on them you could find out for yourself. The guys behind MPICH2 may evene have published papers about their implementation.
The answer may even depend on the actual device (shm, tcp, infiniband) being used.

22 • RV PRO • September 2018 rv-pro.com R V M A N U F A C T U R E R S easy to tow and easy to use. The Cub is retailing well and has helped boost Kodiak's market share this year, according to James. Dutchmen also will be showcasing new models and features in the Aspen Trail product, which will include a new single-axle lightweight model as well as an all-new double slide rear living room model. The Aerolite and Astoria by Aerolite product lines also will be a highlight of the show, with new travel trailer and fifth wheel models as well as additional features that are being added that will add "even more 'wow' factor to these two great product offerings," James predicts. Coleman, which continues to be one of the fastest-growing brands in North America, will show new models, including the all new Coleman Lantern LE, as well as new features on the top-selling Lantern and Light product series. Overall, "Dutchmen has been focused on refining its core product offering to ensure that we are providing our dealer partners with product that today's customers want and expect through new models as well as new features," James says. "It's been a good year as retail activity is up over last year and with the team's efforts in product innovation and refinement, the year ahead is sure to be another year of growth for Dutchmen." K-Z RV Aram Koltookian, president of K-Z RV, likes to call K-Z that "quiet little company in the corner of LaGrange County." But in the same breath, he touts that K-Z is "coming out with guns ablazin' for Open House." K-Z will introduce 49 new floorplans (sister company Ven- ture RV will come out with 13 new ones) during the new season as part of remolding of the company for 2019. This remolding starts with its stick-and-tin Sportsmen, for which K-Z will introduce some lower price points. "We're seeing a shift in stick-and-tin and lightweight lami- nates to a little bit less expensive," Koltookian says. In that spirit, K-Z has dropped the price for the Connect travel trailer significantly while keeping the same content. Meanwhile, Koltookian says the Connect 261 BHK is ready to attack the laminated travel trailer segment with a double over double bunk bed, large oversized dinette, 28-inch door into the bedroom, seamless countertops, under-mounted sinks and residential faucets. In a similar vein, K-Z has redesigned its bread and butter Durango Half-Ton fifth wheel to go after the sub-12,000-pound GVWR market. In this segment, Koltookian highlights the 283RLT (rear lounge, triple slide) featuring two opposing slide- outs, 39-inch TV, multimedia player and theater seating with heat and massager, trifold hide-a-bed, large island, deep under- mount stainless-steel sink, wardrobe slide, 60-by-80 pillow-top mattress and new exterior graphics. For that matter, all K-Z fifth wheels will have new interiors, woods, wallboards and a partially painted front cap for 2019. The Sportsmen LE also gets new wood interiors, new interior accent wallboards, new lighting and linoleum. New options for the Sportsmen LE include fireplaces and Smart Arms for some slide-outs. Toy haulers feature new patio packages. Koltookian concedes that Millennials are becoming a potent force in the RV market but suspects the term is being overused. "We need to evolve our products, but not just for Millen- nials," he says. "We need to ask: What are all RVers looking for?" Because all RVers are asking for it, woods and interiors in general are brighter, linoleum is more common and carpet is less commonplace. In its lightweight and ultra-lightweight Venture RV division, Koltookian is optimistic about the prospects for the SportTrek 293VRK and the SportTrek 343VIK, which features a hidden storage compartment that can be used for adult beverage storage. Cruiser RV Jay Mohamed, general manager of Cruiser RV's Shadow Cruiser, Fun Finder and Stryker travel trailers, plans to build on the growth the three brands experienced through the first half of this year. According to the company's internal audits, retail sales through June were up 39.5 percent for Shadow Cruiser, 27.8 percent for Stryker and 31.7 percent for Fun Finder. This is the second straight year Cruiser RV has seen this type of growth in the market. "There are many factors that we credit to this growth that include great dealer partners, major infrastructure investments K-Z is optimistic on the prospects for its lightweight Venture division, particularly its SportTrek 343VIK (pictured) and SportTrek 293VRK offerings.

Six Months of SIX Flagging
Looking back at a half-year of Snyder theme-park disasters
by Dave McKenna May 16th, 2008 August 29th, 2020
Amused to Death: Are Snyder?s actions putting Six Flags six feet under? Credit: Charles Steck/File
Dan Snyder's run atop the Six Flags amusement-park chain has been at least as fascinating as his Redskins ownership. Since assuming control of the company in 2005 by leading a hostile takeover, Snyder has used his standard game plan—raising the crap out of concession and parking prices, banning pedestrians to enhance parking revenues, and even hawking cheerleaders—to try and revive its fortunes.
Nothing that's come out of Redskins Park has yet worked at the theme parks.
The company is now more than $2 billion in debt and has lost money every quarter since Snyder took over; first quarter 2008 figures released last week showed the company lost even more than was predicted by market analysts, some of whom have put Six Flags on a bankruptcy watch list in recent months. Six Flags' stock (SIX) has tanked.
Here's a partial look back—through adaptations of posts on City Paper's City Desk blog—at recent lowlights in Snyder's Six Flags tenure:
• Nov. 6, 2007: Four-term mayor Richard Cohen gets booted out of office by the voters of Agawam, Mass., who were upset with a parking ordinance straight out of the Snyder playbook that Cohen pushed.
Until last summer, visitors to Six Flags New England had been able to park for $10 or less at private lots owned by small businessmen on Main Street in Agawam. But in June, the town banned parking in those lots and forced parkgoers to use Six Flags lots, where prices had been hiked by Snyder to as much as $30 per car
Cohen, who supported the ban, initially told the city council that the measure was needed for traffic and pedestrian safety, and Six Flags CEO and Snyder partner Mark Shapiro backed up the mayor's claim at public hearings—despite the fact no injuries or accidents had been reported in the 20 years the private lots had been operating.
The townspeople turned on Cohen and against the parking ordinance, however, when they learned via a story in Washington City Paper that Snyder had used the exact same safety argument in 2000 to get Prince George's County to ban pedestrians from walking into FedExField on game days. The FedExField prohibition was overturned in 2004 after a lawsuit on behalf of Redskins season-ticket holders; during that litigation, the safety claim was shredded.
Michael Palazzi, owner of a business that was prevented from parking cars by the Six Flags ordinance and campaign manager for the winning mayoral candidate, attributes the election results to the parking ordinance.
"The parking was it," says Palazzi. "[Cohen] shot himself in both feet with that. He never thought anybody would beat him. He thought all he had to do was make Six Flags happy."
• Nov. 9, 2007: SIX closes at $1.88, representing a 70-percent drop since Oct. 24, 2005, when Snyder called for the removal of then-Chairman Kieran Burke in a letter to Six Flags shareholders.
At the core of Snyder's bid to get rid of Burke was this argument: "Stockholders would have been better off hiding their money under a mattress" than investing in the company under Burke, Snyder wrote.
On the day that letter was registered with the SEC, a share of Six Flags stock was trading at $7.35.
I'm no finance guy, but, using the same blunt, simplistic theme Snyder used to depose his predecessor, let me try to add some perspective about his reign: Rather than buying into Snyder's vision, stockholders would have been better off hiding half of their money under the mattress, then using the other half to build an effigy of the Redskins owner and burning it.
• Jan. 9: During the day's trading, SIX stock falls to $1.75 a share, setting still another record low.
The apparent sell-off comes amid a company push to get liquor licenses for Six Flags Over Texas and the water park Hurricane Harbor—spots it owns in Arlington, Texas.
Some locals try to kill the licensing gambit: "I don't want them [drunks] messing with my kids and grandkids," one Arlingtonian railed at a meeting of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
In 2005, while launching his successful coup to take over the board of directors, Snyder pledged to stockholders that if they put him in charge, he would "focus on mothers (with young children) as well as youth."
The stock has lost three-fourths of its value since he wrote that. So, pledge shmedge. Give booze a shot.
• Also on Jan. 9: Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, the company's Vallejo, Calif., outpost, is named the worst park for elephants in the entire country.
That is, stockholders aren't the only ones taking a beating from Six Flags.
The honor is bestowed by In Defense of Animals, a San Rafael, Calif.-based animal rights group. An IDA spokesperson says Six Flags elephants are routinely "hit, hurt, prodded, poked and beaten" with a device called a bull hook, which is a metal hook on the end of a long pole.
The group has asked the federal government to investigate the same Six Flags park because one of the giraffes there died in a fire last fall.
• Jan. 31: Accounts from Kaitlyn Lasitter, the 14-year-old whose feet were chopped off at Kentucky Kingdom last year—an incident that the company blamed (along with the weather in Texas) for its overall horrible performance in the summer of 2007—appear in the media.
From the Indianapolis Star:
Kaitlyn Lasitter said the Superman Tower of Power ride had climbed only 20 feet last summer when it jolted and cables fell on her and two of her friends, wrapping around their necks, according to court documents.
Kaitlyn said she and her friends, as well as other people on the ride, were screaming for someone to stop the ride, but it kept going up as the girls frantically pulled the cables away from their necks.
"We were all screaming, and then it kept going up, and we just continually screamed and were yelling at people," Kaitlyn said in her deposition. "I remember smoke and the smell of burning. I felt like I was going to die."
• March 18: Six Flags announces the formation of the Thrilleaders, billed as "the first-ever professional, theme park cheerleading team."
From the press release: "The Thrilleaders will captivate Six Flags guests with their explosive, high-energy routines and act as Ambassadors of Thrill throughout the Six Flags family of parks."
Snyder loves cheerleaders. He's reworked the Redskins cheerleaders into perhaps the most marketed, least-clothed crew in the league. But amusement parks are a whole other ballgame; the Thrilleaders could be Snyder's dumbest idea since signing Brandon Lloyd.
Wasn't Lloyd supposed to act as an Ambassador of Thrill, also?
• March 25: Six Flags Great Escape Lodge, a hotel owned by Snyder's theme park chain, goes viral.
Not Soulja Boy viral. Legionnaires'-disease viral.
New York health authorities would eventually estimate that at least 496 visitors came down with cases of something called norovirus. By April, three class-action lawsuits are filed against Six Flags.
From Newsday: "Norovirus is characterized by acute gastrointestinal pain, vomiting and diarrhea lasting one or two days."
In other words, norovirus is not to be confused with Norvovirus, an ailment that crippled Snyder's team during the Norv Turner era and was characterized by malaise and an inability to win close games.

*The Curly Cues*: I have two kids.
I know this should not come as a surprise, but I have two kids and they are (gasp) different from each other. As much as I have pondered the whole nature vs. nurture thing and as much as I am all over Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," I still kind of expected my kids to be more like each other. They do have the same parents and they do live in the same environment, some of their crazies HAVE to be our fault right? But no, they were born this way dammit and this is how they will be!
When I was pregnant with Mila and going through the "how will I love another?" guilty mom phase, I was secretly hoping that she would look different from her sister. I don't know why I fixated on the physical part, but I just wanted them to each have their own look. I was so excited when she was born and had no hair! I think it just helped me separate them as two distinct beings that I could love. I don't know how else to explain it.
Now that Mila is a full-fledged little human, I see that their personalities make them distinct as well. Their differences might seem silly to an outsider (YOU! YOU OUTSIDER!), but just funny little things have come as such a surprise to us. Lily, for as long as I can remember has been a little fish. I could actually leave her in the bathtub for three hours (I don't.) and she would still complain when I took her out. Mila gets her fuzzy little head washed and then immediately tries to climb out. Done. Moving on. Lily HATES loud noises. As soon as she hears a fire truck in the distance she says: "I want to go home!" Therefore, every time we vacuum, which lets be honest isn't all that often, she is up on the couch with her hands over her ears. Mila on the other hand must be restrained because she spends the whole time chasing the vacuum and patting it like a dog. Lily has always kind of eaten like a little bird and we practically had to hand feed her for the first couple of years just to get enough food in her mouth. Mila eats…not like a little bird exactly, more like a small bear. She shovels food into her mouth and growls and claps. I take the clapping as compliments to my cooking but I think it is mostly "yay food!" Ryan and I often find ourselves looking at each other and saying out loud: "our kids are different!" It keeps things exciting I suppose. We get to learn how to parent two completely different personalities. You know what they do have in common? They are both exceptionally adorable. I take credit on that one. Nature for the win!
So funny to see siblings raised in the same house, turn out so differently!! Obviously, our children are young still, but their little personalities shine through so brightly. Bennett & Easton couldn't be more opposite. It keeps us on out toes for sure!
This is so cute. I am looking forward to the next year, and finding out what Q's personality will be. So far she seems to be very similar to Dane, though she is taking a bit longer to get a hang of the whole solid food thing. And, I agree, your girls are exceptionally adorable.


I had a totally sucky week at work – one of those weeks where you can't seem to do anything right and you feel like everyone hates you. Or almost everyone.
Today I fixed something I thought I couldn't fix and guess what? I feel much better.
Way back when we were finishing the Library cottage, I found a super cute vintage dining set – two bent wood chairs and a little round table, all shabby lime green. They were perfect – but then the seam on one of the vinyl cushions started to rip.
Our first meal in the Library that we actually cooked!
Even though the rip had lengthened to about 6 inches (since of course we kept using the chair for a while) I was sure I could fix it myself. After all, how many times had I helped my dad – who was so proud of his mending skills we used to call him The Little Tailor – sew up the seats in his old Volkswagon bug, which we called The Puffing Car because it was so old and tired he had to park it at the top of the driveway facing down the hill and bump start it ever morning? And I have his old darning needles, which I 'd saved for purely sentimental reasons, but now thought might come in handy. So I bought some super strong upholstery thread.
But when I went to do it, it didn't work. There was no way to mend the seam from OUTSIDE the cushion without having the thread show. And I suffered a failure of nerve – I was worried if I took it all apart I wouldn't be able to get it back together. So I put the needles away and told my husband I was going to take it in to be repaired. That was a month or so ago and the chair's been sitting there by the front door ever since.
And I was right. Note to self: when you are having a sucky time, there is nothing like fixing something you thought you couldn't fix to fix it.
That's awesome. Sounds like something I'd do too, can't count the amount of times I've put some small thing off to the side to have someone else repair it because it was intimidating to me to ponder it, and then just…haven't. This would have intimidated me as well; glad you overcame the intimidation and went for it!
Whoa! Look at those big white socks!
Your "Note to Self" is so true!
Of course, it's also true that if you are having a sucky time and you attempt to fix something you thought you couldn't fix, and it turns out you really can't fix it, that you just feel even suckier.
Glad things turned out well for you, though!
That is VERY true. I dodged that bullet this time but have definitely had that happen!

Inline Ethernet Tap
Abandoned Projects
Reprogramming the Defcon 24 badge
BeagleBone Wifi Access Point
diyEvil.com:~/projects# ./inline-ethernet-tap_
Ethernet taps are useful tools for sniffing network traffic as it crosses the wire. Traditional taps, such as the excellent Throwing Star LAN Tap, are typically installed at the wall jack or the switch as they require access to the end of the network cable: Unplug the cable from the jack, plug it into the tap, and plug in a patch cable from the tap to the jack. But what if you don't have access to the end of the cable? Let's say, for example, you're crawling around in the drop ceiling of a bank (as one does) and you come across a random ethernet cable running through the space. You don't have access to the ends, but there could be juicy, useful information crossing that wire! Enter the Inline Ethernet Tap.
The Inline Ethernet Tap was designed to be used in situations where access to the ends of an ethernet cable is not possible. It works by slicing open the outer sheathing of the wire and then using an Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) to connect to the Send and Receive pairs. Ethernet adapters are then used in conjunction with a network sniffer to listen to the traffic on each pair.
By Baran Ivo – Wikimedia
10Base-T and 100Base-T ethernet* uses either Cat5, Cat5E, or Cat6 cables. All of these cables are basically 4 twisted pairs of wires, for a total of 8 wires. Of these 8 wires, the orange/orange-white pair is used for traffic heading one direction down the wire, and the green/green-white pair is used for traffic heading the other direction. Depending on your perspective and which wiring standard is used (T568A or T568B), this could be the send/receive pairs, or the receive/send pairs. These wires are terminated with a RJ45 connector which plugs into a computer's ethernet adapter.
*This technique doesn't work with gigabit ethernet as it uses all 4 pairs for data transmission.
By Lp – Wikimedia
A computer's ethernet adapter uses 4 of it's 8 pins for 10/100Base-T communications. Pins 1 & 2 are used for transmitting data, and pins 3 & 6 are used for receiving data (orange/orange-white in the pictured diagram). An ethernet adapter will listen to any traffic received on 3 & 6; this data can then be viewed using a network sniffer such as Wireshark. When sniffing traffic with a network tap, we need two ethernet adapters in order to listen to the full duplex conversation (send and receive) because each adapter can only listen on a single pair of wires connected to pins 3 & 6. Wireshark can view traffic from multiple adapters at once, so when we see the traffic from the two adapters it looks like standard ethernet communications.
Assembling the Inline Ethernet Tap
The Inline Ethernet Tap comes with 4 components: circuit board (PCB), ethernet jack, 4 pin header connector, and 4 pin IDC receptacle connector (to be used later).
Solder the ethernet jack to the PCB (on the side without the skull and crossed soldering irons)
Solder the 4 pin header connector to the PCB (also on the side without the skull and crossed soldering irons)
Have a beer
At this point, you could use the tap with a standard ethernet patch cable, but you'd only see one direction of traffic. To see both directions of traffic, you will need to build a special breakout cable. Basically, this breakout cable just takes the orange pair and the green pair and terminates them on their own RJ45 jack, each at pins 3 & 6.
Take a standard ethernet cable, and cut one end off (length is up to you)
Remove about 3 – 4 inches of the outer sheating
Separate the orange pair and the green pair, and cut the rest off.
Untwist the orange pair slightly and insert the orange-white wire into position 3 of the jack, and insert the solid orange wire into position 6. Using a RJ45 crimper, crimp the jack to set the wires in place.
Repeat step 4 for the green pair.
Optional: use shrink tubing to make everything look neat and clean. You will need to this prior to steps 4 & 5.
Using the Inline Ethernet Tap
First, a disclaimer: Do not use the Inline Ethernet Tap on production networks or other important infrastructure! It can irreversibly damage ethernet cables and equipment!
Using a razor, knife, or sharp scissors, carefully slice along the outer sheathing of the ethernet cable to be sniffed. The slice needs to be around 2-3 inches long
Find the orange and green wire pairs inside the cable, and gently pull them away from the rest of the wires
Using a fingernail or punchdown tool, press each wire into the appropriate slot on the 4 pin IDC receptacle connector. The circuit board has the wire order printed on it; your wires should correspond to that. When pressing wires into the connector, ensure they go far enough in to make good connection with the internal copper of the wire
Plug the connector into the assembled Inline Ethernet Tap
Plug the breakout cable into the Inline Ethernet Tap
Plug the each of the jacks on the double end of the breakout cable into an ethernet adapter (you'll need two)
Start Wireshark
Select Capture > Interfaces
Select your network interfaces (remember, should be two), and click "Start"
Drink a beer
At this point, you should see in Wireshark all ethernet traffic going across the tapped wire. Success!
Countermeasures
There are a couple of countermeasures against this sort of attack. You could try to make sure that unauthorized personnel don't have access to your network cabling. Alternatively, expose network cabling so that it is obvious at a glance if someone has added one of these taps to your network (using wire rack cable trays, for example).
The best defense against network taps is the same as the defense against man-in-the-middle attacks: encryption. Only use secure protocols such as TLS, HTTPS, SSH, and S/MIME whenever transmitting/receiving sensitive information. This ensures that anyone who can illegitimately access the network traffic won't be able to see anything useful. This is especially important within an organization's intranet, as a network tap would more likely than not be installed in an office (for example). There is quite often an attitude of "it's constrained to the intranet, so it's safe from hackers" in corporate environments, but depending on the physical security of a facility it could be trivial to drop a tap on an internal network.
Want your own Inline Ethernet Tap? Find me at a security conference and I'll give you one. Or you can hit me up on twitter @diyevil and maybe i can mail you one.

Q: Can't catch exception in PHP Selenium webdriver I'm trying to catch errors in pages that timeout when running them with Facebook's PHP webdriver.
The page load and wait are both succesfully called, but the TimeOutException thrown by wait() doesn't get caught in either catch block.
try {
    $this->webDriver->get(self::BASE_URI.$uri_to_check);
    $this->webDriver->wait($webDriver, 100, 500)->until(
    WebDriverExpectedCondition::titleIs('My Page'));
}
catch (TimeOutException $e) {
    return "Timeout Exception because".$e->getMessage();
}
catch (Exception $e) {
    return "Failed to load page because".$e->getMessage();
}

How can I catch this?

A: I think you're looking to use "Implicit wait" as opposed to "Explicit wait". Your example is making use of "Explicit wait" i.e. will try for a number of sendcond then sleep (not timeout). Refer to the php-driver wiki.
https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver/wiki/HowTo-Wait

A: You are giving wrong parameters to the wait() method. The params are $timeout_in_second and $interval_in_millisecond. So if you for example want to wait up to 15 seconds and check the title every 500 ms (0,5 sec), you must call it this way:
$this->wd->wait(15, 500)->until(
    WebDriverExpectedCondition::titleIs('My Page')
);

And also note the default parameters (30 seconds, 250 milliseconds), so you don't need to pass them at all:
$this->wd->wait()->until(
    WebDriverExpectedCondition::titleIs('My Page')
);

A: I had the same issue. I eventually fixed it by supplying the full path to the TimeoutException:
try {
    $this->webDriver->get(self::BASE_URI.$uri_to_check);
    $this->webDriver->wait($webDriver, 100, 500)->until(
    WebDriverExpectedCondition::titleIs('My Page'));
}
catch (Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\TimeoutException $e) {
    return "Timeout Exception because".$e->getMessage();
}

The exception is then caught.

In issue #31 of Delayed Gratification, we told you the story of Mohammed Gholamipour and his bride, Parvaneh Khezernejhad, a Kurdish couple who had escaped their native Iran in order to elope. They dreamt of reaching a safe country where they could live a peaceful life together. Instead, they found themselves in a Kafkaesque nightmare, with Mohammed ensnared in Romania's court system, protesting his innocence against charges of people-smuggling.
Several weeks after we left the couple in judicial limbo, writer and photographer Jodi Hilton returned to Romania to hear the outcome of Mohammed's appeal and gives us an update on the couple's situation.
At dusk on a crisp autumn day earlier this month, Mohammed Gholamipour said goodbye to his beloved Parvaneh and boarded a train at the Galaƫi station in Romania. It was the end of another chapter in their saga, which I've been following for more than a year.
Since leaving Iran their journey together had been long and arduous. First they had travelled to Istanbul, where the couple got married. But then, hearing that Parvaneh's family were looking for them and fearing for their lives, they fled to Europe. Following a gruelling days-long boat journey crossing the Black Sea to Romania, Mohammed, along with two others, was fingered on arrival by police, who accused him of helping to pilot the boat.
The three men were arrested, imprisoned in the south-eastern city of Constanƫa and put on trial on four charges related to people-smuggling. (Mohammed said that at the time of his arrest the police had told him: "We have to pick someone, so we picked you.") The arrests took place in September 2017; in May 2018, the three were sentenced to three years, eight months in prison.
While appeals were lodged and Mohammed and Parvaneh awaited the next round of legal procedures, the two other suspects fled Romania and returned to their home countries. Mohammed and Parvaneh, though, remained in Romania, where Parvaneh had been recognised as an asylum seeker, and pursued the appeal, which is where we last left the couple.
During the appeal, which took place during the first week of October of this year, Mohammed pleaded with the two judges, hoping to convince them of his innocence. "What kind of smuggler travels with his pregnant wife? [Parvaneh suffered a miscarriage soon after arriving in Romania.] Who brings all his documents with him, including his passport?" he said to them.
The verdict was expected on October 18th, so I made the 600km drive from my home in Bulgaria to Galaƫi, Romania, to be with Mohammed and Parvaneh when they got the news. During that last day of uncertainty, we walked along the Danube riverfront, passing curious iron-slab sculptures left from the heyday of the shipbuilding industry, before the factories closed and the jobs were lost. At a waterfront restaurant, they ate seafood pizza as the sun began to set.
All day long, Mohammed wrote texts to his lawyer asking about the verdict, but finally was told, "Hold on brother." The decision hadn't been announced. When night fell, I returned to my hotel and Mohammed and Parvaneh turned in at the camp before curfew. (As a journalist and non-refugee, I was refused permission to enter.) An hour later, I received a call from Mohammed's cousin in Canada. He had just spoken with the lawyer. The appeal had been denied.
But the next morning, when we met again, Mohammed seemed stoic despite a sleepless night. He told me he would go to jail after all, in the hope that he would receive early parole, which is common in Romania due to overcrowding in many of the country's prisons. Together the three of us went by tramway to inform his boss at the Belgian-owned brewery, where he worked in the warehouse, that he wouldn't be reporting for work. Mohammed thanked his supervisor and made arrangements for Parvaneh to pick up his pay-cheque later in the month.
At noon we parted ways. I didn't hear from them for several hours, until around 4pm, when Parvaneh called me. Her voice sounded panicky as she told me Mohammed was at the train station. When we pulled up at the station, there was Mohammed, sitting on a bench wearing a thin jacket and carrying a small, red backpack.
The couple spent the next few hours pacing the station, checking and rechecking the departure boards until finally Mohammed purchased a ticket. Sitting on the entrance steps, Mohammed wrapped his arms around Parvaneh and held her. Soon, he would leave and start a new chapter of his life, as a fugitive. As the train pulled away an hour later, Parvaneh cried, trembling as I tried to comfort her.
The next day, Mohammed sent me a message from Serbia. After a 17-hour train trip, a taxi ride to a spot on the border and an hour spent crawling through a swamp in order to evade border guards, he promptly got ripped off by a local in a Serbian village with whom he was trying to exchange currency. After an expensive taxi ride to Belgrade, he spent the night sleeping in a park.
The next few days, he later told me, were terrible. He didn't have money for food or lodging. He spent his days smoking borrowed cigarettes at a café popular with Iraqi Kurdish migrants trying to get to Western Europe, dirty and emaciated from lack of food. Parvaneh, worried sick, spent the days waiting for his phone calls. It soon dawned on him that he couldn't spend the next years hiding out from police and surviving in Serbia, and he couldn't go to any other European country, since he would almost certainly be sent back to Romania.
Finally, he borrowed some money and headed back to Romania where he turned himself in. He's now in prison in Timișoara, 700km from the camp in which Parvaneh is living.
Parvaneh made the long train journey to visit him. They were allowed just over an hour to talk through bulletproof glass, during which time Mohammed told her that conditions were better than at the previous prison and he had got a job in the kitchen. For every two or three days of work, one day is taken off his sentence. After seeing him, Parvaneh told me it was hard to be alone again. "I cried so much that my eyes were hurting," she said.
For the couple's full story, and to see more of Jodi Hilton's photography, read 'Love in a hopeless place', originally published in DG #31.
