Adds Ocean Liners! Sail the Seas and enjoy.
This mod adds ocean travel to Factorio. It is currently an early release without unique graphics for most things.
Currently there are various types of boats which are based on cars. There is also a small chance for oil to spawn in deep water. To acquire this oil, a special type of pumpjack has been added. Pipes may be placed over the ocean and powerful power poles that can only be placed in the ocean have been added.
Your character is also able to slowly swim through water, in case you lose your boat off the shore or want to dismount in the ocean.
Swimming - The player can now swim slowly through the water. This is helpful for getting to your boat, or dismounting in the ocean, even crossing a small channel.
Ocean Biter Attacks - disabled by default but can be enabled in the config. The biters may now come for you over the ocean if you choose. Only for the most brave.
Rails over Water - You can even place these on water while swimming. Boats might be more convenient for placing rails than swimming though. I haven't had much time to test these, so let me know if they work fine.
Rafts - This type of boat is incredibly cheap in terms of cost and fuel, but it is only effective when going downwind. You will have to find another way back, or wait for the winds to turn.
Please give it a go and give me any feedback you have!
Note - a lot of these new features need testing, so please leave your feedback/bugs in the discussions page or on the github as an issue.

"I'm Not"/"Comfy in Nautica" is the first solo single by Animal Collective member Panda Bear, released in 2005. The single is a double A-side, and both tracks appear on Panda Bear's third album, Person Pitch (2007). The song "I'm Not" samples the rondeau Rose, liz, printemps, verdure by Guillaume de Machaut, recorded by the early music vocal group Gothic Voices (on their album The Mirror of Narcissus). "Comfy in Nautica", which contains a sample of the song "Jisas Yu Holem Hand Blong Mi" from The Thin Red Line soundtrack, was #74 on Rolling Stones list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.

Existing committee members should recruit new committee members. New members should be recruited in a very open way and whoever is involved in recruiting new members must always act in the best interests of your group.
The minimum or maximum number of committee members.
How long a member can stay on the committee.
How new committee members join the committee, for example election, appointment or being asked by other members to join (called being co-opted).
Identify the skills you need in your committee and look for new members that have these skills e.g. do you need someone with a finance background to help you to prepare your accounts?
Create a description of what a committee member does in your group.
Agree on how new members can apply – either by CV or by writing a letter.
Create an advert based on the description of what a committee member does and send it out using social media, newsletters or local press.
Organise a group of committee members who will meet with the people who are interested in joining the committee (the 'panel'). The panel will decide if they are the right people for the committee and that the new committee members know what is involved.
After you have recruited a new committee member, ensure that induction and any necessary training is carried out so that new members can contribute to the group as soon as possible.
Review the skills and experience of committee members during the year and ensure training is carried out if they need it.

Each teacher is responsible for the pastoral care of pupils. All staff aim to provide a caring environment in which children can gain most benefit. We are anxious that parents should feel free to discuss any problems with either the class teacher or the Head Teacher at a mutually agreed time. The school also employs Mrs Hardy as Parent Support Advisor who acts as advisor to parents and children. She is free on a Friday to meet with parents on a 1-1 basis and an appointment can be arranged through phoning the school.
The Head Teacher and Deputy Head Teacher are also involved with the welfare of all the children.
Minor scrapes may be treated at school, but if the child has a more serious accident or is ill, effort is made to contact the parents so that the child can be taken home, or to the doctor or hospital. It is essential that emergency contact forms are updated when change occurs such as mobile phone numbers. If a parent cannot be found and medical attention is necessary, the child may be taken to the hospital by a member of staff.
Medication in School
Medication if necessary can be administered during the school day, Medication needs to be handed in at the office and medication forms completed by parents. Medicine will be stored in the Headteachers office in a lockable fridge. Parents must then collect medicine from the office at the end of each day. No medicine will ever be given to children. Asthma inhalers are an exception. These are stored in classrooms for self-medication with supervision as necessary. If you state that your child has asthma on the medical form then an inhaler must be provided in school for the child.
If your child requires medicine during the day you are more than welcome to come into school and administer it yourselves.
Stockton Area Health Authority
Given below are details of the School Nursing service which parents should contact if their child has a medical problem and they are concerned about his/her development. If this medical problem has an educational bearing, for example a speech or hearing problem, parents should contact the Head Teacher, who will advise them as to the best course of action.

Endoscopy is the use of specialized video cameras to evaluate areas within the body in a minimally invasive manner. In most instances, endoscopy is performed for diagnostic purposes allowing visualization and sampling of abnormalities. However, endoscopy can also be used for therapeutic purposes as well, termed interventional endoscopy. Interventional endoscopy refers to things such as foreign body retrieval from the stomach or esophagus of accidentally ingested objects such as chicken bone, socks, or plastic toys for example.

Niyok was the sister of Nutha and a friend of Katara's from the Southern Water Tribe. In order to find a job and make a living, she and her sister left the tribe for the Earth Kingdom, where they were hired to work at the Earthen Fire Refinery.
Niyok was born and raised in the Southern Water Tribe. Sometime before 102 AG, she moved to work at the Earthen Fire Refinery in the Earth Kingdom.
One day, Niyok spotted Katara walking with Avatar Aang, Sokka, and three Air Acolytes, Xing Ying, Yee-Li, and Jingbo. She caught Katara's attention and happily embraced the waterbender, whom she had not seen since Katara's departure from the tribe with Aang years prior. Upon inquiry, she explained that she had traveled to the Earth Kingdom in order to work at the refinery. Their reunion was cut short, however, when Nutha gave Katara a noncommittal stare and called Niyok back over to where she and another friend were sitting.
Niyok explained to Katara why she and her sister could not leave the mine.
Niyok later resumed her work in Loban's iron mine, until she and the other workers were told by Sokka and Katara to leave the mine as it was unstable and about to collapse. When Nutha refused to go, she backed her sister up, explaining that they could not leave until their boss said so lest they would be fired and that was something they could not afford. However, when the mine collapsed, she barely made it out with Sokka's assistance, though was in need of medical attention as her arm was broken. Niyok was left in the care of the Air Acolytes.
Niyok was eventually reunited with Nutha following the intervention of Avatar Aang and Toph's metalbending students, who removed the iron ore deposits and earth above those trapped, and took her sister to also receive medical attention. After the mining village was saved from an attack by the warrior spirit General Old Iron, Niyok's arm eventually recovered and she and Nutha rekindled their old bond with Katara. The three ate together and reminisced on their time in the South Pole, such as trying to eat Auntie Ashuna's seal jerky; Niyok laughed at Katara recalling the time she broke her teeth doing so. When the waterbender had to leave because Aang appeared upset, Niyok looked in his direction in concern before smiling warmly as Nutha remarked that Katara and Sokka made Southern Tribal citizens proud.

Egg Shen's showdown with his former friend, Lo Pan, in 1906!
Jack's doppelganger sails the Jade Empire back to San Francisco, having killed everyone aboard.
Meanwhile, Egg survives the rubble of the collapsing underground tunnels thanks to a giant centipede from the Black Blood of the Earth, reuniting with Jack. Winona returns to them with Lo Pan and the Three Storms, in her alliance to protect the residents of Chinatown, but Egg is shocked to learn of Lo Pan's new embracing of the dark sorcery and that Lo Pan was subconsciously responsible for the death of Egg's lover, Chin, years ago. Lo Pan spares Egg's life in respect of their recent friendship, and heads into the burning city with the Storms and Winona to take down Whist. Lo Pan kills Whist and takes the man's riches for his own. Winona balks at the murderous turn of events and Lo Pan turns his powers against her, but is saved at the last second by Jack, who has just arrived at the site with Egg.
A sorcerous battle between Egg and Lo Pan ensues. Jack's doppelganger arrives as well, revealed to be the embodiment of the death spell cast against Jack by Koschei (in "All-In"), caught in the time-transport spell and cast back to 1906 as well. The doppelganger goes after Jack, but then Egg casts a spell that makes Lo Pan appear to be Jack. The doppelganger attacks Lo Pan and the dark sorcerer is forced to expend most of his energy to destroy it, leaving him in the withered, decrepit state we find him in in Big Trouble in Little China. The old man is whisked away by the Three Storms, promising to return.
In the aftermath, Egg sends Jack and Winona back to the future, to Jack's time of 1986, leaving Winona still stuck out of her own time of 2015. Soon, Jack realizes that Egg sent them back to the day that his and Wang's adventure in Big Trouble in Little China began!
The events of this issue take place in 1906.
Most of the issues of this series did not have individual titles. I borrowed the next issue blurb from the end of the previous issue as the title of this issue, "Shake, Rattle, and Roll".
On the cover, notice that the image on the cloth Winona is gripping onto shows it to be Jack's tank top shirt.
On page 4, Jack recognizes the creature Egg rides up from under the underground rubble as "that big nasty centipede thing down by the Black Blood of the Earth". This creature was seen briefly in Big Trouble in Little China as Jack, Egg, Wang, and the rest made their way down through the underground catacombs to Lo Pan's secret lair.
Jack tells Egg to send the giant centipede away before he breaks out the Raid. Raid is a brand of insecticide products.
On page 5, Winona accuses Jack of whitesplaining to her. "Whitesplain" is the act of a white person explaining how a racist action, policy, or behavior is not really racist, usually to a minority person and often in a condescending manner.
Lo Pan explains to Egg who he used to be and has now become again. It is essentially the story he told (i.e. will tell) in Big Trouble in Little China. He adds here that he wandered for so long without flesh, from one end of the Celestial Kingdom to the other, that he forgot his origins until he summoned the Three Storms and they recognized him. "Celestial Kingdom" is a name associated with China during the Qing dynasty (1644-1912).
On page 6, Lo Pan and Egg seem to agree that they first met aboard the Eagle on the trip from China to California at the start of the gold rush. But, in "Bad Weather Comin'", Egg implied to Jack that he and Lo Pan were already friends and Chin insisted on taking the journey along with them.
Winona identifies her smartphone as an iPhone 4. That's kind of an old phone (by modern sensibilities) since it was introduced in 2010 and Winona is from 2015. Apple had released the iPhone 6 by 2015.
On page 13, Jack says he's not ready to die yet because he's got six more payments on his truck. Of course, this would have been back in 1986. Since he was in a magic sleep for almost 30 years, he's presumably delinquent and would have to pay enormous penalties to get the title to the truck.
On page 14, Winona identifies the Jack doppelganger as the death spell that was cast against Jack by Koschei back in "All-In"; it must have been caught in the same teleportation spell cast by Egg that sent Jack and Winona back to 1906.
On page 18, Winona reveals that she has torched the San Francisco Hall of Records under the cover of the rest of the citywide fires, so that Chinese immigrants who were under threat of deportation under the Chinese Exclusion Act can stay, no proof of whether they had a U.S. birth certificate now being available. In fact, the fires set off by the great earthquake of 1906 did burn down the Hall of Records and allowed Chinese immigrants in the city to remain!
Page 19 is an amusing play on the attitude of some of the more uninformed citizens who hate the government.
As Egg prepares to cast the spell that will send Jack and Winona back to the future, he tells them he must stay behind and be ready to confront Lo Pan in case he ever finds flesh again. Jack warns him it will involve two girls with green eyes. Jack's warning is, of course, a reference to the events of Big Trouble in Little China.
Arriving in 1986, Jack spies the National Orient Bank. In Big Trouble in Little China, it was mentioned that David Lo Pan was the chairman of that bank (a fictitious institution).
Jack is thrilled to be back in his own time period of 1986, ecstatic at the sight of feathered hair, Walkmans, boom boxes, and a Joe Backy advertisement. Feathered hair, Walkmans, and boom boxes were all staples of the 1980s; "Walkman" is a brand name for portable audio and video devices manufactured by Sony. The "Joe Backy" tobacco advertising mascot was introduced in "The Samurai of Wall Street".
On the last page of this issue, Jack realizes that Egg sent them back to the day that his and Wang's adventure in Big Trouble in Little China began!

Movie Review--> Megamind ~ A blue, bad and brilliant villain to the rescue?
With these lines Megamind came alive on the screen and slowly made it into my favorites.
Megamind released in 2010 and while at first I was apprehensive about it but after watching the movie I was a big fan of the film and everything about it!
Megamind is bad and wants to become the baddest of all villains. His arch enemy, Metroman is facsimile of Superman. Both Megamind and Metroman were launched from their own dying planets to earth just like Superman and while Megamind is dropped among criminals, Metroman is raised with a silver spoon in his mouth.
"Could this be what I was destined for? A dream life filled with luxury?
Apparently not! Even fate chooses its favourites..."
All through his childhood while Metroman is praised and loved, Megamind, howsoever, he may try to be good, always ends up being a villain! Soon it is clear to Megamind that he will always be an outcast and the only thing he is good at is being a villain!
"All men must choose between two paths. Good is the path of honour, heroism, and nobility. Evil... well, it's just cooler."
With this earth shattering realization, Megamind, the super villain is born and his epic battles with Megamind!
"No matter how hard I tried, I was always the odd man out, the last one picked, the screw-up, the black sheep... the bad boy. Was this my destiny?... Wait. Maybe it was! Being bad is the one thing I'm good at! Then it hit me: if I was the bad boy, then I was going to be the baddest boy of them ALL!
I was destined to be a supervillain, and we were destined to be rivals! The die was cast! And so began an epic enduring lifelong career... and I LOVED IT!
Our battles quickly got more elaborate. He would win some, I would ALMOST win others! He took the name: Metro Man, defender of Metro City. I decided to pick something a little more humble: Megamind, incredibly handsome criminal genius and master of all villainy!"
Although the movie looks like a classic tale of two super aliens, it is mainly about Megamind and his journey of finding his true calling. Everything from dialogue, settings, effects, character voices, the storyline, direction, editing etc. are all just perfect. I loved the voices of Will Farrell as Megamind, Brad Pitt as Metroman, Tina Fey as Roxanne Richi (the reporter) and David Cross as Minion (Megamind's best friend), Justin Theroux as Bernard etc. beautifully lend these animated characters a life.
Despite his unusual looks, Megamind symbolizes the average person who has atleast once in his lifetime felt out-of-place, been rejected by someone and felt inferior to someone. His struggles to gain acceptance are just like the ones we may have faced sometime in our lives.
This is the first movie that made me root for the villain. I just loved Megamind with his brilliant mind, funny accent, a good heart and his best efforts to become a bad, scary villain which often ended being funny! His friendship with Minion is endearing and will make you remember your own best friend. They have faced everything together and are devoted to each other. Minion with his more practical mind is the one keeping Megamind connected to reality. He is devoted to his friend and ready to do anything for him and when he said, "My sole purpose in life is to look after you!" he just won my heart!
Roxanne Richi's character is the facsimile of Lois Lane in Superman. She worships Metroman and is a big fan. Her blind faith in Metroman and her interactions with Megamind were sometimes funny, sometimes emotional but always very entertaining! Metroman is not a major character in this movie. He has always had praise, acceptance and the love of the people of Metrocity but is he satisfied with this?
1) "I guess destiny isn't the path chosen for us, but the path we chose for ourselves."
2) All men must choose between two paths. Good is the path of honour, heroism, and nobility. Evil... well, it's just cooler.
3) There's a benefit to losing: You get to learn from your mistakes.
4) there's a yin for every yang. If there's bad, good will rise up against it!
5) What's the use of having it all, if there's no one around to stop you?
6) we never really know how good you have it until it's gone.
7) You don't judge a book by its cover or a person by the outside...You judge them by their actions.

Baltimore Officials Work Towards Disarming The United States
Baltimore's local rate of employment fell below the national average according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 20.7 % of Baltimore's employment is made up by City, State, and Federal Government workers. The national average is 15%. This democratic bureaucratic stronghold, just 50 miles from Washington D.C. has been run by democrats for decades. Yet it ranks Seventh as the most segregated city in the United States in A Brown University Data Project. The City Council is completely democratic, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake had a top leadership position in the Democratic National Committee and provides key input into Obama's Task Force On 21st policing, an initiative to federalize local and state police. State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who is presiding over the 6 charged officers is a democrat, and may have overcharged the officers, putting the case in jeopardy. Maryland's 7th Congressional District, which is Baltimore Rep Is Elijah Cummings, has been an incumbent since 1996. Apparently, the democratic base in Baltimore is completely useless, if the transformation of Baltimore into a shining example of democratic hyper governance has never occurred. President Obama has unleashed his Cloward-Piven style rhetoric via his advisor and race relations bulldog, Al Sharpton, a coke dealing FBI informant, who rose to prominence on the back of the Tawana Brawley race baiting theater of lies. A man who has mysteriously suffered two suspicious fires exonerating his financial records from persecution. And is currently under fire for taking major donations for his nonprofit from labor unions that aired their hyperbole on his cable show. Al Sharpton, a man that was seen as a pariah to the Eric Garner and Walter Scott families is embraced by the Obama Administration. Clearly advocating the rollout of the 1961 U.S. Department Of State 7277 plan that would have the police forces disarmed, martial law on the streets, and the graduation of a United Nations International Police Force to protect the corporacratic government as it exponentially grows into a New World Order. - Watch now
Freddie Gray: Baltimore Rough Ride Victim?
Sources are saying that Freddie Gray died as a result of slamming his head inside the police van he was being transported in. The medical examiner says the wound matched the bolt in the area of the van Gray was held in. The autopsy reveals that there is no evidence that Gray hit his head on his own and also, that the injuries gray sustained were exactly like those of someone that had been in a major car accident.It appears Gray may have been subjected to the police brutality tactic known as a "Rough Ride". In a rough ride, suspects are usually handcuffed in the back of the vehicle without being secured by a seatbelt. They are then assaulted by the erratic driving of the police van driver. One sharp turn or sudden stop can do as much or more abuse than an actual physical assault. The abused prisoner is then faced with a "he said she said" situation. Freddie Gray died from a massive spinal injury on April 19, 2015. 30 detectives have been assigned to the case since. Still there are no definitive answers. Baltimore PD has now turned the investigation over to the Baltimore State's Attorney Office. Meanwhile protests are raging across the country there have been demonstrations in Philadelphia,Boston,Chicago,Denver,Houston,Minneapolis,New York,Ferguson,Missouri. More are underway in Seattle,Portland, Oregon and Oakland, California. It may appear that justice is being served in Baltimore . Peeking under the table laid out for the American populace reveals a full on staging of United Nations Intervention. - Watch now

Q: Proper way to test 3rd party user authentication (haskell) I'm writing an app in Haskell that makes use of a 3rd party restful API.
I'm also writing a test suite using hspec to make sure that my app behaves correctly.
BLUF: what is the proper way to test that my app correctly handles 3rd party user authentication?
Example code:
module ApiInterface where
-- stripped down code for example

import qualified Data.Text as T
import Web.Browser (openBrowser)
import Control.Monad.Trans.Either

type Response a = EitherT IO Error a
data Auth = Auth {token :: T.Text, perms :: T.Text, user :: User}

apiFrob :: Response T.Text
apiGetToken :: String -> Response Auth
--apiGetResourceX :: Response ResourceX

getApiKeyAndSharedSecred :: IO (T.Text, T.Text)
packParams :: [(T.Text, T.Text)] -> String

userAuth :: T.Text -> IO ()
userAuth frob = do
    (key, secret) <- getApiKeyAndSharedSecret
    let endpoint = "https://www.restfulapi.com/services/auth/"
    let params = [("api_key", key), ...]
    openBrowser $ endpoint ++ (packParams params)
    putStrLn "Press any key when complete with authentication"
    void getChar

mapOnRight :: Monad m => (a -> EitherT x m b) -> EitherT x m a -> EitherT x m b
mapOnRight f eithrt = EitherT $ do
    eithr <- runEitherT eithrt
    case eithr of
        Right a -> runEitherT $ f a
        Left x -> return (Left x)

getUserToken :: Response Auth
getUserToken = mapOnRight getAuth apiFrob
    where
        getAuth frob = EitherT $ do
            userAuth frob
            runEitherT $ apiGetToken (T.unpack frob)

Calls to the rest api are functions apiGetResourceX :: Response ResourceX where Response is a type synonym type Response a = EitherT IO Error a.
To get a token for a user, I get a frob from the api, then point the user at a url that includes the frob as well as my api key, shared secret, etc. The user opens this url in a web browser and gives permission to the api to allow my app to get resources on behalf of the user. Then any subsequent calls to the apiGetToken with the same frob will return a valid ```Auth`` object.
I can test that this works with the function getUserToken which uses the Web.Browser module, which opens a web browser on my computer. I give the 3rd party app the credentials for my test account in the web browser, then return to the app and press any key to continue getting a token from the api. Waiting for a key from the user is important because if execution continues immediately, the user will not have had time to sign in yet.
Now I try to test this function in my integration-spec:
import Test.HUnit
import Test.Hspec
import ApiInterface
module IntegrationSpec where

assertFailOnLeft :: Either Error b -> IO()
assertFailOnLeft val =
    case val of
        Left error -> assertFailure ((T.unpack . msg) error)
        _ -> return ()

spec :: Spec
spec = do
    describe "ApiInterface.getUserToken" $ do
        it "should return an Auth object" $ do
            token <- runEitherT getUserToken
            assertFailOnLeft token

and this fails
Failures:

  test/integration/IntegrationSpec.hs:35:9:
  1) Integration.ApiInterface.getUserToken should return an Auth object
       uncaught exception: IOException of type EOF
       <stdin>: hGetChar: end of file

It's expecting the user (me) to sign in and press a key to continue execution, but it looks like HUnit doesn't stop test execution to wait for user input.
At this point, I get the feeling that there is a better way to write this integration test. It won't stop here either, after authentication I'd like to check that the resources I'm getting from the api work with my algorithm, etc... Is there a standard way to test integration with third party rest api's?

Corner of Warren Ave. N & Republican St.
"S started over a decade ago as a bedroom-based side project. Just a guitar, a four-track, and Jenn Ghetto's heartbreaking voice."
This is how most of my bios start. And it's true that my first S record, Sadstyle, was made in my room on a little four-track, and if I had a superpower it would be forced empathy.
I am sometimes known as one of the founding members of the now-defunct Seattle band Carissa's Wierd. We disbanded after releasing our third album in 2003, and some other members (Ben Bridwell, Mat Brooke) went off to form Band of Horses. They were wildly successful.
Suicide Squeeze released my second full-length record, Puking and Crying, in 2004. It was a little less bedroom-y and a little more electronic. I played a handful of shows, and then decided to quit music.
Of course, like many before me who have quit music, I made another record. 2010's I'm not as good at it as you was put out by Own Records, a label in Luxembourg. This album was back to basics — just melodic electric guitars and whispery vocals, once again recorded at home. I toured through Europe as a two-piece with another Carissa's Wierd offshoot, Grand Archives (Mat Brooke's band).
At the start of 2012, in the middle of a break-up, I started writing this record. As with the others, the songs all started in my bedroom, but I convinced my metal drummer friend Zach McNulty to help me flesh them out (you guys, he uses a lot of restraint), along with my longtime friends Betsy Olson (bass) and Carrie Murphy (guitar) because I knew they were talented, I liked being around them, and they both had cars.
We spent about a year getting the new songs livable. We played around Seattle, and then Hardly Art was like, "Hey if you are gonna make another record we would like to put it out." I got to know them when they reissued the Carissa's Wierd catalogue in 2010. And I was like "Yessssss!" So I tracked down Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie) to engineer and produce this thing. I had worked with him on a few Carissa's Wierd albums some years back, and thought he would be a perfect fit.
After many months of trying to get our schedules aligned, there we were, in the studio with Chris Walla. As he was setting up my guitar amp combo and pulling gadgets off the shelves and microphones out of boxes he said to me, "This is how you make a Van Halen record." And then we made Cool Choices. I feel pretty good about it and I hope you think it is okay.

Thank you Avotakka for featuring us in your latest issue. This time our country house was on display. Story by the lovely Irene Wichmann and photos by the always happy Riitta Sourander. Go buy your copy, out now.


Solingen is situated at an altitude of 221 m on the northern edge of the region called Bergisches Land, about 10 km southwest of Wuppertal and 20 km southeast of North Rhine-Westphalia's capital, Düsseldorf. The municipality of the city of Solingen has a population of about 156,000 (2015).
Solonchon was first mentioned in a chronicle in 1067. Early variations of the name included Solengen, Solungen and Soleggen, although the modern name seems to have been in use since the late 14th and early 15th centuries. Blacksmith smelters, dating back to over 2000 years, have been found around the town adding to Solingen's fame as a Northern Europe blacksmith centre. Swords from Solingen have turned up in places such as the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the British Isles. Northern Europe prized the quality of Solingen's manufactured weaponry, and they were traded across the European continent. Solingen today remains the 'knife centre' of Germany. In 1929, the formerly independent towns of Ohligs, Wald, Gräfrath and Höhscheid were incorporated into the municipality of Solingen, the municipality of Burg was incorporated into Solingen in 1975.
The Müngsten Bridge [left, no. 3561: top picture] is the highest railway bridge in Germany. The bridge is 107 metres high and spans the valley of the river Wupper, connecting the cities of Remscheid and Solingen. First drafts for a bridge connecting the two cities of Remscheid and Solingen go back as far as 1889. Preparatory work began in 1893, the bridge was finished in 1897. Architect and engineer Anton von Rieppel was in charge of the project. Originally, the bridge was planned to be single-track. However, high future traffic growth projections led to the redesign as a dual-track bridge. Before its opening, the rail distance between the cities was 42 kilometers. With a direct connection via the bridge, this distance shrank to 8 kilometers. Originally the bridge was named Kaiser-Wilhelm-Brücke (Emperor Wilhelm Bridge) to honour Emperor Wilhelm I (see list of monuments for Wilhelm I). After the end of the monarchy the bridge was renamed after the nearby settlement of Müngsten, which was close to the city limits of Solingen, Remscheid and Wuppertal. Today, the settlement no longer exists, so Müngsten is simply a landmark.
The Laufbrunnen (fountain) with the sculpture "Waffenschmied von Solingen" ('armourer of Solingen') [bottom left picture] was created in 1895. The sculptor was Wilhelm Albermann. The fountain and sculpture were destroyed in 1944.
The Catholic parish church of St. Clemens [bottom right] was built in 1890–1892 in Gothic revival style by the architect Franz Schmitz. Heavily damaged during World War II, it was restored in 1951–1955. The interior decorations were renovated in 2006.
Schloss Burg (Burg castle) was built in the 12th century (after 1133) by Count Adolf III of Berg on a mountain over the river Wupper. The old castle of the counts, Castle Berge near Altenberg, was abandoned. The original name of the new castle was Castle Neuenberge; Not until the 15th century, after significant reconstruction as a hunting castle, did it receive its current name reflecting its palatial extension. Adolf III's great-grandson, Count Adolf VI, died in 1218 in the siege of Damietta in Egypt during the Fifth Crusade. As the count had no male descendants, the archbishop Engelbert I of Cologne took over the reign of the county (Engelbert II of Berg) needing two feuds to win the inheritance dispute with the duke of Limburg. Count Adolf VIII of Berg participated successfully in the decisive battle of Worringen (5 June 1288) of the War of succession for the Duchy of Limburg. Adolf VIII now was able to proceed to elevate his town, Düsseldorf, to a city and was able to control traffic on the Rhine river. In the 13th and 14th century Schloss Burg remained the main residence of the counts of Berg. Five years after King Wenzel IV of Bohemia (German king since 1376) elevated Count Wilhelm II of Berg to the position of a duke (Duke Wilhelm I of Berg) in 1380, Düsseldorf became the capital of the Duchy of Berg. Castle Burg continued to serve as a hunting castle and was used for ceremonial events, hence it became a "Schloss" (representative castle). In 1496, Maria of Jülich-Berg was engaged as a child to Johann of Kleve-Mark (later Johann III, Duke of Kleve). Their wedding took place 14 years later at Burg and led to the unification of the duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg. The second daughter of this couple was Anne of Kleve, briefly married with Henry VIII of England. In 1632 Swedish soldiers laid siege to the castle. After the Thirty years war, in 1648, Imperial troops destroyed the fortifications of the castle including the keep, walls, and gates. In 1700, the main building was partially reconstructed and subsequently used for administrative purposes. 1849, the castle was sold to be scrapped, decayed, and became a ruin. The architect Gerhard August Fischer from Barmen (today part of Wuppertal) proposed in 1882 to reconstruct the castle. Restoration works began in 1890 and with the erection of the Battery Tower in 1914 the work seemed complete. However, on the night of November 26, 1920 a large fire destroyed much of the castle. Reconstruction lasted from 1922 to 1925. The reconstructed castle of today is a major public attraction. It also contains the Museum of the Bergische Land. The castle church is popular for weddings. The castle also is home to the Memorial for Deportation and the Memorial of the German Eastern Provinces with church bells from Königsberg (Kaliningrad) and Breslau (Wrocław).
Ohligs, located in the southwest of the municipality of Solingen, is part of the district Ohligs/Aufderhöhe/Merscheid, the largest town district of Solingen in terms of population (42,000 in 2015); Ohligs itself has a population of about 20,000 (2015).
Olligs was first mentioned in a document dating from 1714. After the foundation of the grand Duchy of Berg in 1806, the marie (municipality according to the French model) Merscheid was founded in 1808 from the former parish Wald, which included Ohligs. When in the 1860s a railway line was to be built from Cologne-Deutz to Haan-Gruiten, the local station could only be built at the then undeveloped fallow land of Ohligs. The station, then named Ohligs-Wald, today is Solingens main railway station (Hauptbahnhof). Due to the enormous development of industry around the railway station, the importace of Ohligs rapidly increased. In 1891, the municipality of Merscheid was renamed Ohligs. In 1929, Ohligs, together with the towns Wald, Höhscheid and Gräfrath were incorporated into Solingen.
Hackhausen castle [left, no. 3441: top picture] goes back to a moated castle from the Middle Ages. The dukes of berg inherited the castle in the 15th century but due to lack of money already in 1485 sold it to the Bottlenberg-Kessel family. In 1772 the old castle was demolished to be replaced by a more representative palais in Rococo style keeping the old moats around it. This castle was completely destroyed by fire in 1887. In the 1890s, the ruins were sold to private owners who in 1907 had it rebuilt according to the original design.
The bottom picture on glass no. 3441 is labeled Eingang zum Stadtwald (Entrance to the municipal forest).

The Thing I'm Most Afraid Of
Written By: Kristin Levine
Read By: Chelsea Kwoka
7 Hours and 56 Minutes	Imprint: Listening Library Ages 10 and up Release Date: June 15, 2021
A new middle-grade tale from critically acclaimed, award-winning author Kristin Levine about facing your fears, set in Vienna during the Bosnian genocide.
Most twelve-year-olds would be excited to fly to Austria to see their dad for the summer but then Becca is not most twelve-year-olds. Suffering from severe anxiety, she fears that the metal detectors at the airport will give her cancer and the long international flight will leave her with blood clots. Luckily, she's packed her Doomsday Journal, the one thing that always seems to help. By writing down her fears and what to do if the worst happens, Becca can get by without (many) panic attacks.
Routines and plans help Becca cope but living in a new country is full of the unexpected--including Becca's companions for the summer. Like Felix, the short and bookish son of Becca's dad's new girlfriend. Or Sara, the nineteen-year-old Bosnian refugee tasked with watching the two of them for the summer. As Becca explores Vienna and becomes close to her new friends, she soon learns she is not alone in her fears. What matters most is what you do when faced with them.
Praise for The Thing I'm Most Afraid Of:
"An engaging historical novel with an unusual, vividly realized setting. . . A moving resolution." —Booklist
"In this thoughtful novel populated with well-developed characters, Levine slowly and realistically reveals Becca's growth. . . An important story about anxiety, change, and courage." —Kirkus Reviews
"Becca is an engaging and sympathetic narrator, and Levine (The Jigsaw Jungle) writes her experience of anxiety with nuance and sensitivity. The past is never forgotten in Vienna, and Levine threads the city's history into this novel . . . while Sara's recollections of the Bosnian War are heartrendingly effective." —Publisher's Weekly
"In this historical novel set in 1993, fears and anxieties are taking over 12-year-old Becca Greenburg's life. . . As Becca . . . learn[s] that having and being a support for others builds inner strength . . . her anxieties do not vanish, but she learns how to live in spite of them. VERDICT: A slice of history that echoes another country's struggle with anti-immigrant sentiment." —School Library Journal

Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art
Vance Kirkland, b 1904- d 1981
1201 Bannock St., Denver, CO 80204 - view on Google Maps
"It is more important what my mind can see. Any development I have achieved has been done entirely from imagination and not by limiting myself to what my eyes can see."
—Vance Kirkland
Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, housed in an historic Arts & Crafts style building, displays the work of abstract painter Vance Kirkland in vignettes composed of artwork by other Colorado artists, and a major collection of international decorative art from the modern era. Vance Kirkland's studio space regularly inspires exclamations of awe from visitors, who are able to see his painting table and the straps Kirkland sometimes used to suspend himself above his paintings to create his large oil paint and water compositions, and later his Dot paintings.
Kirkland Museum is partially housed in the studio and art school building that Vance Kirkland used from 1932-1981. His original studio is the oldest commercial art building in Denver and the second oldest in Colorado (after the Van Briggle Pottery in Colorado Springs). Designed in a distinctive Arts & Crafts style and completed in 1911, it was built by Henry Read, one of thirteen founders of the Artists' Club. The building served as Read's Students' School of Art, and, until 1922, was a meeting place for the fledgling Denver Art Museum.
In 1929, Vance Kirkland moved to Denver from Ohio to found the current School of Art at the University of Denver. In 1932, he leased Read's property, later purchasing it, and opened the Kirkland School of Art. He used the studio until his death in 1981.
Vance Kirkland had five painting periods:
1. Designed Realism (primarily in watercolor)
2. Surrealism (primarily in watercolor)
3. Hard Edge Abstraction / Abstraction from Nature (primarily in oil)
4. Abstract Expressionism (oil paint using Kirkland's signature mixture of oil paint and water as the top layer)
5. The Dot Paintings (oil paint & water mixtures with dots of oil paint as the top layer)
Vance Kirkland said: "The paintings may suggest ideas of time and space….I am trying to paint something I do not know exists in a tangible way. If I am looking at space, who is going to say it never existed: It has existed in my mind."
The museum also has one of the most comprehensive international decorative art collections on view in the nation, including furniture, ceramics, glass, and textiles from the 1870s through the present. It also displays a representative sample of paintings from Kirkland's many styles, as well as hundreds of artworks by other Colorado artists. Such combinations allow visitors to time travel through about 150 years of art and give them a picture of art and design as it might have been seen through the eyes of Vance Kirkland himself.
The Vance Kirkland Foundation was established in 1996 to preserve the legacy of this distinguished Colorado painter. Kirkland Museum's original location in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood opened in 2003 but the museum outgrew that space due to increased attendance and expanded art holdings. The museum relocated in March 2018 to a larger building designed by Jim Olson of Olson Kundig, situated within a block of the Denver Art Museum and Clyfford Still Museum. Funding for the new Kirkland Museum building was provided by Merle Chambers Fund.
Moving the building that housed Vance Kirkland's studio & art school was central to the project. With support from the historic preservation community, the three-room Arts & Crafts structure was meticulously moved to Kirkland Museum's new location on Bannock Street. The 1,384 square-foot brick building, detached from the original museum, was moved eight blocks west and placed on the north side of the new building in the same orientation as it originally sat on Pearl Street. Moving the studio building allowed for the removal of later additions and provides a visitor experience much more authentic to that of Vance Kirkland's lifetime.
Did you know...?
By the age of 28, Vance Kirkland had founded three art schools.

Autopsy planned for toddler who died after being found in car in Glendale
Dylan McKim
New details are expected Tuesday as the investigation continues in the death of the 18-month-old girl who was found Monday in her parents' car in Glendale.
An autopsy of the child's body is scheduled for later Tuesday, and it should provide answers as to how she died, said Glendale police officer Tiffany Ngalula, in an email.
Ngalula said Tuesday there were no other major updates about the investigation. The girl's parents are still cooperating with detectives, and it has been determined that the father was the last person to drive the family vehicle, Ngalula explained.
Police have not formally submitted any charges, and the parents will not be identified at this time, Ngalula stated.
The girl's body was found inside the car by her father Monday evening; he then called the police and gave her CPR until the paramedics arrived, Ngalula said in a press conference Monday.
The incident happened around 4:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Paseo Park Apartments, Ngalula explained.
The 18-month-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
The high temperature in Phoenix on Monday was 88 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Jan Null, a professor of meteorology at San Jose State University who has researched pediatric heatstroke in vehicles, explained that when the outside air temperature is 86 degrees, the temperature inside the vehicle can exceed 130 degrees.
The investigation is still ongoing.


A watch that looks like broken glass and can be recharged by USB? If that sounds like some crazy Japanese invention, well that's because it is, but it's also commercially available and looks kinda cool.
Released by Tokyoflash Japan, the Kisai Broke does to the traditional two-handed watch face what Battle Royale did to my trust in human nature. Er, I mean, it breaks it.
The USB recharging isn't just a gimmick either, it makes it easier to recharge meaning enhanced brightness and long lasting battery life, just plug it into your PC with the cable provided.
Japanese invention, well that's because it is, but it's also commercially available and looks kinda cool.
If you choose watch bands with bold or brazen colors, they prove better in casual settings. Thus, you have to consider when and where the watch will be worn in order to ensure you are choosing the right watch band colors.
Best Battle Royale reference I've ever seen in relation to a wrist watch. Also the first! Looks great!

"Boxing Helena," a graphic film about a woman whose arms and legs are amputated by her doctor after an auto accident and then is kept in a box, has become the latest high-profile movie recommended for the adults-only NC-17 rating.
Carl Mazzocone, the producer of "Boxing Helena," said he was informed of the NC-17 rating on Monday. He resubmitted the film on Wednesday for the ratings board to view again with "three seconds" trimmed. "We had no choice but to go for an R rating. It makes fiscal sense . . . so it's like a gun to your head to get an R."
He said the edits came in a scene in which Sherilyn Fenn as Helena, and boyfriend Bill Paxton make love--before the amputations. Another love scene in the film is between Fenn's doctor, played by Julian Sands, and Nicolette Scorsese.
In recent months, French director Louis Malle's film of sexual obsession "Damage" and "Body of Evidence," a sexual murder mystery starring Madonna, were both rated adults-only. In both cases, the producers made the cuts for an R rating, which means that anyone under age 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
Most major movie theater chains will not book films rated NC-17, some major video dealers will not stock them and leading publications usually refuse advertising.

As hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal workers prepared to return to work, Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he doesn't think the negotiators will strike a deal that he'd accept. He pledged to build a wall anyway using his executive powers to declare a national emergency if necessary.
"I personally think it's less than 50-50, but you have a lot of very good people on that board," Trump said in an interview Sunday with the newspaper.
The president's standoff with Democrats on Capitol Hill is far from over and the clock is ticking. The spending bill Trump signed on Friday to temporarily end the partial government shutdown funds the shuttered agencies only until Feb. 15.
It's unclear if the Democrats will budge. Trump seemed girded for battle over the weekend, sending out a series of online messages that foreshadowed the upcoming fight with lawmakers. "BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!" he tweeted.
"Yeah, I think he actually is," acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said. "He doesn't want to shut the government down, let's make that very clear. He doesn't want to declare a national emergency."
But Mulvaney said that at "the end of the day, the president's commitment is to defend the nation and he will do it with or without Congress."
The linchpin in the standoff is Trump's demand for $5.7 billion for his prized wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, a project Democrats consider an ineffective, wasteful monument to a ridiculous Trump campaign promise.
Asked if he'd be willing to accept less than $5.7 billion to build a barrier on the southern border, Trump replied: "I doubt it." He added: "I have to do it right."
He also said he'd be wary of any proposed deal that exchanged funds for a wall for broad immigration reform. And when asked if he would agree to citizenship for immigrants who were illegally brought into the U.S. as children, he again replied, "I doubt it."
"The president is the only one who has been reasonable in these negotiations," he said.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, a member of the Democratic leadership in the House, said his colleagues are looking for "evidence-based" legislation.
"Shutdowns are not legitimate negotiating tactics when there's a public policy disagreement between two branches of government," he said.
"We're willing to invest in personnel. We're willing to invest in additional technology. ... In the past, we have supported enhanced fencing and I think that's something that's reasonable that should be on the table," he said.
Trump has asserted there is a "crisis" at the southern border requiring a wall, blaming previous presidents and Congress for failing to overhaul an immigration system that has allowed millions of people to live in the U.S. illegally.
Last month, he put that number at 35 million, while on Sunday he pegged it at 25.7 million-plus — figures offered without evidence. "I'm not exactly sure where the president got that number this morning," Mulvaney said.
His homeland security chief cited "somewhere" between 11 million and 22 million last month. In November, the nonpartisan Pew Research Center reported 10.7 million in 2016 — the lowest in a decade.
The president also tweeted Sunday that the cost of illegal immigration so far this year was nearly $19 billion; he didn't cite a source.
"The president went from talking about a wall along the entire southern border at one point during the campaign ... to let's have barriers where they work and let's have something else where barriers wouldn't work as well," Blunt said.
The partial federal shutdown ended Friday when Trump gave in to mounting pressure, retreating from his demand that Congress commit to the border wall funding before federal agencies could resume work. The bill he signed did not provide the money Trump wanted for a barrier, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called "immoral" and has insisted Congress will not finance.
Mulvaney said Trump agreed to temporarily end the shutdown because some Democrats have stepped forward, publicly and privately, to say they agree with Trump's plan to better secure the border.
Mulvaney said they told Trump they couldn't split with Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, and work with the White House if the government remained closed.
"Everybody wants to look at this and say the president lost," Mulvaney said. "We're still in the middle of negotiations."
Mulvaney appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and CBS' "Face the Nation." Jeffries and McCarthy spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press," Blunt was on Fox.

Soft drink risk
Soft drinks could lead to an early death, according to a new study.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer recently concluded a study across 10 European countries, with 450,000 participants over an average period of 16 years to assess whether sweetened soft drinks could affect mortality.
The results showed that participants who drank sugar-sweetened soft drinks had a 26% higher risk of dying during the study than those who drank fewer than one glass a month. The study also looked at those who drank artificially sweetened soft drinks. The results were just as grim: people who drank two or more glasses of artificially sweetened drinks were more likely to die due to circulatory disease, and those who drank one a day were more likely to die from digestive diseases than those who rarely drank soft drinks.
"The striking observation in our study was that we found positive associations for both sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened soft drinks with risk of all-cause deaths," said research lead Dr Neil Murphy. It was assumed that sweeteners such as aspartame trigger some of the same biological actions as sugar, although more research is needed to prove this conclusively

Sleaford pupils help equip African school
Leasingham School bursar and governor Christine Trevithick with some of the 3,000 pupils that attend the Bakoteh Annex Lower Basic School in The Gambia during her visit. EMN-170519-155733001
Published: 06:19 Tuesday 30 May 2017
A Sleaford area primary school has been fundraising to deliver gifts of resources to help a school in the small, West African country of The Gambia.
The project has seen pupils of St Andrew's School in Leasingham linked with the Bakoteh Annex Lower Basic School.
Leasingham head David Hodgson said: "The school is very basic and receives very little in terms of sponsorship.
"It has 3,000 children attending with 1,500 in the morning and 1,500 in the afternoon."
The Leasingham school raised money from recent events, such as a disco, and members of the School Council decided to spend the money on buying school equipment for the Gambian children.
St Andrews' School Bursar and Governor, Christine Trevithick, and her husband, travelled to the Gambia during the Easter break and took pens, pencils, crayons, rulers, a range of games for the children to play and sewing resources bought with the money raised.
She spent time with the headteacher exploring the school which was very different to Leasingham, said Mr Hodgson: "The children loved the gifts to help with their learning."

Q: How do I crop a TIFF down to a specific region? I have two TIFFs that have the same pixel size. One of them is geolocated inside the other. I would like to crop the larger one down to the exact same extent as the smaller one. Is this possible with a gdal command?
gdalinfo small.tif
Pixel Size = (0.100000000000000,-0.100000000000000)
Upper Left  (-13042354.590, 3866165.781) (117d 9'41.27"W, 32d46'48.73"N)
Lower Left  (-13042354.590, 3865668.981) (117d 9'41.27"W, 32d46'35.22"N)
Upper Right (-13041857.790, 3866165.781) (117d 9'25.21"W, 32d46'48.73"N)
Lower Right (-13041857.790, 3865668.981) (117d 9'25.21"W, 32d46'35.22"N)
Center      (-13042106.190, 3865917.381) (117d 9'33.24"W, 32d46'41.98"N)

gdalinfo big.tif
Pixel Size = (0.100000000000000,-0.100000000000000)
Upper Left  (-13042373.699, 3866184.891) (117d 9'41.89"W, 32d46'49.25"N)
Lower Left  (-13042373.699, 3865649.891) (117d 9'41.89"W, 32d46'34.70"N)
Upper Right (-13041838.699, 3866184.891) (117d 9'24.59"W, 32d46'49.25"N)
Lower Right (-13041838.699, 3865649.891) (117d 9'24.59"W, 32d46'34.70"N)
Center      (-13042106.199, 3865917.391) (117d 9'33.24"W, 32d46'41.98"N)

A: The gdal_translate command has a -projwin argument for selecting a window in projected coordinates:
-projwin ulx uly lrx lry

This needs upper left and lower right coordinates which you get from gdalinfo:
Upper Left  (-13042354.590, 3866165.781) (117d 9'41.27"W, 32d46'48.73"N)
Lower Right (-13041857.790, 3865668.981) (117d 9'25.21"W, 32d46'35.22"N)

So the full command would be:
gdal_translate -projwin -13042354.590 3866165.781 -13041857.790 3865668.981 big.tiff small_size_big.tiff

note the coordinates are space-separated.
