Cameroon sets travel clamp in troubled anglophone region
Yaoundé (AFP) – Authorities in an English-speaking region in southwestern Cameroon on Thursday announced temporary curbs on travel and public meetings, adding to a curfew imposed in the northwest after protests by the country's anglophone minority.
The steps were announced ahead of what is expected to be a symbolic declaration of independence by Cameroon's English speakers on Sunday.
A fifth of the 22 million people in the francophone-majority West African state is English-speaking — a legacy of the unification in 1961 of two colonial-era entities previously run by France and Britain.
In a statement, the authorities in Southwest Region announced the closure of sea and land borders, the suspension of transport, a ban on travel between towns and on public meetings of more than four people.
The measures will be applied from Friday at 0800 GMT and end on Monday at 0600 GMT, it said.
In a second statement, the Southwest Region authorities said military reinforcements were expected, and called on the population to "stay calm".
The authorities in the Northwest Region previously announced a 10pm to 5am curfew after thousands of people demonstrated in English-speaking areas on September 22 in defiance of a government ban.
English-speakers in Cameroon have long complained that the country's wealth from commodities has not been shared out fairly and that they suffer discrimination.
Special grievances are reserved for education and the judicial system, where anglophones say the French language and legal system are imposed on them.
Several schools have been torched in Bamenda, the major hub of the Northwest Region, since the start of the school year in early September.
Most campaigners want the country to resume a federalist system — an approach that followed independence in 1960 but was later scrapped — but a hardline minority is calling for secession. Both measures are opposed by the country's long-term president, 84-year-old Paul Biya.
On social media, some campaigners have been calling for October 1 to be symbolically named independence day.
In a statement issued in New York on Thursday, the UN said Secretary General Antonio Guterres was "deeply concerned" about the situation in Cameroon.
"He urges the authorities to promote measures of national reconciliation aimed at finding a durable solution to the crisis, including by addressing its root causes," the statement said.

With just a few seconds of time, you can enable current weather conditions on the lock screen of the new Robin.
Nextbit Robin smartphone with weather forecast enabled on the lock screen.
In an effort to make the lock screen of the Nextbit Robin more useful, the company designed a clock that's big and easy to read.
Just below the current time is the date, and, if you enable it, just below that you can view weather conditions for your current location.
The process for enabling weather info on the lock screen of a Nextbit Robin.
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap on Date, time, & weather.
Next, tap on Weather settings.
Finally, slide the switch to the On position.
You can also customize how often you'd like the device to refresh weather conditions, keeping in mind the more frequent it checks the more battery the service will use.
After enabling the feature, you can exit the Settings app and lock your device. It took a few seconds for the weather to show up just below the time for me, so don't panic if it doesn't show up instantly.
It's a small touch, but one that's easy to appreciate if you're like me and find yourself unlocking the device countless times a day to check the weather.


Ah yes, turning 50, that year when you realize you're all grown up. It's sometimes a shock, but I took it in stride and so should you. Now is the time to think of your grown-up future. What's to look forward to? A great retirement.
Some of you have planned your retirement for years; others are just starting to think about it now. That's ok, because it's never too late to start planning for retirement. Whether you've got 25 years to plan or just 15, there's a lot you can do to make sure you're #RetireReady.
First, as Canada's Money Coach, I learn a lot about people's money and spending habits. Some are slow and steady; others are chaotic only because life throws many challenges and opportunities at everyone. It's how you react that's important. I always start with a goals-based assessment of where they want to be and when. TD approaches your retirement with the same focussed plan. What are your goals? How do you plan to achieve them?
Second, I have an entire toolkit devoted to helping my clients save for the rainy days and the sunny retirements. There's the 52-Week Saving Plan, a simple way to tuck some money away. I help people find hidden money in their taxes, savings and expenditures.
I also help people make the right choices by taking a close look at credit card interest rates, mortgages, lines of credit and savings accounts. There is so much on offer, and so many choices, that not being ready for retirement is simply not an option.
Also, take a moment and look around. Your mortgage is almost done. Your kids are through school and hopefully they are out of the house. Many of you have grandkids on the way. The hustle and grind of your early years are behind you and you can look forward to a new stage in your life, where your money is yours and yours alone. How will you make the most of it, and have a solid nest egg for your golden years?
Know where you stand. Consider a goals-based assessment from TD. Find out exactly what effort you need to make sure you can become #RetireReady. TD will take you through their entire range of savings options, from Tax Free Savings Accounts to Retirement Savings Plans, all in plain simple language that makes it easy for you to understand so you can make the right choices.
Put it in writing and refer to the plan regularly. With your plan from TD you'll have goals and milestones that you can knock off and celebrate … All while building your #RetireReady fund.
Trust the professionals. To ask for help is the first step towards achieving any goal. Like Canada's Money Coach, the professionals at TD have heard it all. My clients like that I take them through each component of any plan, we talk about risks and rewards, we face our plan with a clear understanding of how to get it done. Asking for advice is easy; listening to it is the hard, but most important element. TD's professional, helpful advice will help you get what you want, and what you need. They get to know the real you, not just the numbers. They'll help you get #RetireReady.
Finally, I am Canada's Money Coach, here to help you make the most of your money. Follow me and learn what the advisors at TD can do for you.

I'm currently working on two dulcimers I began this past Fall before the last back surgery. I am so happy to be working again! It will still be a while before I am back to working full-time in the shop, which for a self-employed person who loves his job usually means most-of-the-time, but I am thankful and grateful for what I am now able to do.
The two current dulcimers I'm building both have walnut backs and sides. One will have a butternut soundboard and the other was to have a cedar soundboard but after planing and cleaning up the top I realized it was not cedar but redwood! I have a few sets of redwood I sawed up a few years ago that were unusually hard and stiff for redwood and one of them sneaked into the pile of cedar soundboards when I wasn't looking. Soundboards do that. I have to keep them in a corral or they end up all over the house.
If I had a better camera and/or took better photographs you would see the fine grain and beautiful color of this soundboard. But use your imagination! Pretty, ain't it?
Also on the bench is a knife I picked up at an antique mall a few years ago.
This knife has a massive brass handle with rosewood scales. The handle has a set screw so the blade can be adjusted for length. The leather strop is a piece of an old guitar strap with some compound on it. Since using a strop I spend more time working and less time sharpening; a moment or two of stropping restores a fine edge and delays the need to hone the tool again.
I have always wanted to make a dulcimer. Last fall I made my first instrument, the strum stick and I'm pleased on how it turned out. I think I'm ready for a dulcimer now. Love your work.
Have fun making a dulcimer! If you dig through the archives on my blog there is a lot if information you might find helpful. And thanks for the kind words about my work.
Your dulcimers always remind me of marble halavah.
Glad to have you back among the builders. Hope we can jam again sometime.
I love seeing your work in progress! however I think you could find a better picture of Cynthia…….
I am looking forward to having another dulcimer made for me by you.

Essex County Place has confirmed that Smashburger will be opening a location on the Newark campus of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). According to David Arluna, the Director of Food Service for Gourmet Dining, LLC, which is responsible for all of the dining options at NJIT, the restaurant will be located at 156 Warren Street on the first floor of the Albert Dorman Honors College residence hall.
A Smashburger spokesperson also verified the news of the upcoming Newark restaurant. The space was previously occupied by Warren Street Pizzeria and Cafe, which closed in the spring. A survey was available for students to select which restaurant they felt should replace the pizzeria, with one of the options being Smashburger.
Since opening its first New Jersey locations around seven years ago, Smashburger has expanded all over the northern part of the state, opening other Essex County locations in Glen Ridge and West Caldwell. This is not the first time that the company has operated in Newark. There was previously a location at Newark Liberty International Airport's Terminal C.

NEWARK, N.J.: A building located at the gateway to the Ironbound neighborhood of Newark's East Ward is about to see new use.
According to Carmelo Garcia, the Chief Real Estate Officer and Executive Vice President of the Newark Community Economic Development Corporation, two new businesses are planned for the Ironbound Station Plaza building, located at 2-14 Ferry Street, at the corner of Market Street, directly across from Newark Penn Station. One of the spaces will be occupied by a location of a national coffee company, the name of which has not yet been revealed, while the other will contain a Blink Fitness gym.
Blink Fitness, which is owned by Equinox Fitness, has been expanding into Northern New Jersey in recent years, and has other area locations in Journal Square in Jersey City, Union, and South Orange. Additional new gyms are planned for 620 Central Avenue in East Orange and 870 Springfield Avenue in Irvington.
Blink Fitness spokesperson Danielle Muzones confirmed to Essex County Place that the company recently signed a lease to open its first Newark location in the space, and that it is expected to open in the first quarter of 2018.
The 117-year-old building has most recently contained medical offices, including the Ironbound Community Health Center, but was originally the home of the Ironbound Trust Company and a Prudential office.
This photo shows the former Edison Battery Company factory in West Orange, which is being converted into the Edison Village development.
NEWARK, N.J.: The first stage of a new multi-phased development project near the border of Newark's Central and East Wards has reached the approvals process.
A new mixed-use development has been proposed for 317 and 321-323 Mulberry Street, as well as 58-64 East Kinney Street, at the edge of Downtown Newark just two blocks from the Ironbound neighborhood.
According to a legal notice from the Newark Central Planning Board, the proposal calls for the building to be five-stories tall, and for it to contain a residential lobby, ground floor retail space, and 24 residential units on the upper floors. 16 of the units would contain one bedroom, while the remaining eight would contain three bedrooms. 15 parking spaces would be provided on the premises for residents.
The project developer, ATS Development Group, LLC, which is registered out of a garage on nearby Austin Street, is seeking Preliminary and Final Site Plan approval with variances for insufficient minimum lot size, insufficient minimum lot width, and insufficient parking. Lorrie Sciabarasi of Newark-based Comito Associates, PC, is listed as the project architect and engineer.
ATS was included in How Newark Became Newark: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of an American City by Brad R. Tuttle, who wrote that "rather than putting the land up for public auction, Newark potentially lost out on millions by quietly steering parcels at dirt-cheap rates to companies such as ATS," adding that the company acquired 116 City properties with an appraised value of $1.4 million for less than $300,000 between 2001 and 2005.
This property, parts of which were acquired by ATS for $91,193 from the City in 2002, according to NJ Parcels records, contains a single-family home, a vacant lot, and a tract recently used to store used cars. Residents of the new building would be within walking distance of Newark Symphony Hall, Lincoln Park, New Jersey Transit bus service along Broad Street, and Newark Penn Station.
According to the firm's website, the overall proposal calls for three additional buildings at 1098 Broad Street, 77 Sherman Avenue, and a property on Austin Street, known as Broad Street Commons, Sherman Commons, and Austin Commons, respectively. All of the buildings would be five stories tall with ground floor retail space, and would contain 35, 44, and 45 residential units.
The Newark Central Planning Board was scheduled to hear the proposal on July 24th.
This news comes as developer Steven Lenter is seeking to construct a six-story 296,268 square foot building at the site of a parking lot across the street, with 252 residential units, 9,543 square feet of retail space, and 152 parking spaces. That project, which is being designed by The DeRosa Group, PC, was also heard during the July 24th meeting.

ORANGE, N.J.: The Orange Board of Education (BOE) is planning a new home for one of its administrative departments.
According to a legal notice, the Board is seeking to conduct a renovation and convert the three-story building, located in the City of Orange Township's historic Seven Oaks neighborhood at 455 Fairview Avenue, between Scotland Road and Lincoln Avenue, into "its information and technology building." The rear of the .2342 acre property is located adjacent to the BOE's administrative office building, while the rest borders other homes and an apartment building.
As part of the proposal, parking would be provided for the information and technology building, and there would be access to the administrative building from the premises. The BOE estimated in 2015 that the renovation would cost $65,000, and reported in January 2016 that it does not intend to seek funding from the New Jersey Department of Education for this project. In early 2014, the BOE acquired the home from a local resident for $240,000, according to NJ Parcels records. The purchase agreement was unanimously approved by the BOE members in 2013.
City records show that the Board's acquisition of the property meant that property taxes could no longer be accessed for it. The structure dates to 1894, according to Zillow, and includes eight bedrooms, four bathrooms, a patio, and a rear two-car garage.
The Orange Planning Board was scheduled to hear the proposal on July 26th. This is not the only recent proposal by the BOE to change the use of local properties. Last year, Essex County Place exclusively reported that the historic homes at 386 and 396 Clarendon Place were slated to be demolished to make way for a parking lot, while the house at 366 Clarendon Place was scheduled to be rehabilitated as part of an expansion of Orange High School.

The player will now sit out until the summer.
Team Liquid is ringing the changes in its League of Legends squad, adding Adrian Ma to its roster at support.
The player has joined Liquid from Phoenix1, having signed up through the end of the Summer Split before yesterday's trade deadline.
Adrian had been contracted to Phoenix1 until November 2017, but the team will now restore Rami "Inori" Charagh to the starting lineup according to ESPN. The report also claims that Phoenix1 have already agreed a deal to sign Team Dignitas substitute William "Stunt" Chen as an official replacement.
In their announcement, Liquid say that Adrian's addition give the team "options for the remainder of the split"—though ESPN claim the player has returned home and will not play until the Summer.
Current Team Liquid support Matt Elento will retain his starting spot this week, with the two players expected to compete going forward.
Adrian is the second new player to be announced for Liquid in as many days, after TSM AC carry Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng broke off his hiatus to join the team on a temporary basis. The team's original AD carry, Chae "Piglet" Gwang-jin, has also now moved to the mid lane.

Steyn proud of SA fightback
South Africa pacer Dale Steyn has commended his side's fightback in the second Test against South Africa in Johannesburg.
"We were staring down the barrel," Steyn told a news conference after picking up four for 64. "We had bowled well in parts but after three good balls we'd concede a boundary, bowl two more good balls and then get hit for four again."
"It didn't go our way this morning. Every time we bowled a bad ball it seemed to go for four and we had to get it in the correct areas, which we didn't do enough in the first session. We had to reassess and after that, the bowlers came out and did a great job."
"We had a chat at lunch and we managed to slow the run-rate down and pull the game back. Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander started it and we created more pressure," added Steyn.
Steyn said his team had not yet discussed what sort of target they wanted to set Australia.
"I'm not sure what a good lead will be," said the fast bowler. "We want to knock off the 30-run deficit without any damage and then assess from there."
"It's hot, the pitch is pretty flat and you have to work really hard for wickets out there." he revealed.


BALTIMORE, MD (January 15, 2019) – The Maryland Department of Commerce; Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA); Towson University; the University of Maryland, College Park; and Washington College have endowed a total of $6.7 million in new research professorships. The endowments were made through the Maryland E-Nnovation Initiative Fund (MEIF), a state program created to spur basic and applied research in scientific and technical fields at the colleges and universities. The schools raised a combined $4 million in private funding for each chair and Maryland Commerce approved matching grants of $2.7 million to support the endowments.
The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) has received $500,000 in matching funds from the program to establish a $1 million endowment fund to expand the Design & Health Initiative at the MICA Center for Social Design (CSD). The endowment will enable the MICA CSD to sustain the key leadership position of a staff co-director, and to scale its unique practice of embedding designers into healthcare and public health institutions across the state that have a commitment to health equity. These embedded designers pilot and sustain new ways of integrating the human-centered design process into their partner institutions ongoing work so that they will better understand the life experience and context of the people they serve and thereby create more innovative and effective solutions for particularly vulnerable populations.
Towson University received $500,000 for its first E-Nnovation grant, which it will combine with a significant private contribution, to establish the Towson University E-Nnovation Endowed Professorship. This professorship will provide critical resources to an exceptional faculty member in TU's Department of Computer and Information Sciences who will lead the creation of a world-class Cyber Education and Research Center. The center is poised to ambitiously pursue novel solutions for today's and tomorrow's cyber challenges, encourage innovative lines of research and discovery, develop solutions to the cyber workforce crisis, and engage in opportunities for technology commercialization.
"As an NSA National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations and one of the first four institutions in the world to receive ABET accreditation in cybersecurity, Towson University is emerging as a global leader in cybersecurity. This grant affirms TU's leadership in this field, will accelerate the important work of our faculty, and fortify Maryland's position at the leading edge of cybersecurity," said President Kim Schatzel.
The University of Maryland, College Park received $714,000 to partially match its Clark Leadership Chair in data analytics, funded by a generous investment from the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation. The new chair will enhance the university's expertise in the fields that underlie data analytics—computer science and mathematics—and areas at the forefront of data analytics-intensive applications, such as astronomy, climate science, quantum systems, aeronautical engineering, bioinformatics, cybersecurity, social media studies, and language science.
Washington College received $1 million, matched by $1 million from The Hodson Trust, to endow a directorship in the Geographic Information Systems program. This will help expand the college's GIS program more widely throughout the liberal arts curriculum as well as broaden collaborations with faculty research and teaching. It will also generate new economic development opportunities, enabling the program to move beyond its dependence on funded projects, creating greater flexibility to work with non-profits and encouraging investment in business development and pilot projects.

The San Francisco Office is home to year-round support staff and volunteers, a place where artists work on projects, and a space to socialize and celebrate accomplishments. It is also the closest thing we have to a Burning Man museum, with its continually rejuvenated collection of artwork, artifacts, and photos from past events.
2007 – The Green Man, it all starts in the San Francisco office. The SF office once again played an important role in the grand experiment known as Burning Man. The SF office went through a 'greening' process that continues to this day and will be a part of operations from here forward. The office was again host to a plethora of community- and staff-oriented events in 2007, more than ever before. This seems to be a trend for the future as the energy of the Burning Man Headquarters is well-suited for meeting and socializing. There was the annual holiday Spark Club – a staff and volunteer recognition and appreciation event held in December; monthly rehearsals for the Fire Conclave in the parking lot; semi-monthly Green Working Group Meetings; and an open house and monthly meetings for Burners Without Borders. The list goes on to include the first-ever Art Lounge in February, which was a gathering of artists, scientists, environmentalists and Burning Man staff, where information sharing and making connections were the main goals. From the Art Lounge came the first incarnation of the 'Greening your Burn' document. In creating and distributing this document, the Burning Man community took a collaborative step towards our future.
In March, 85 Burning Man Regional Contacts flew in from all over the U.S. and the world to be part of the first-ever Regional Leadership Summit, a weekend full of meeting, collaborating, connecting, sharing and socializing. April brought staff and volunteers together for an amazing collaboration across several teams to produce the Open House, the annual event to recruit volunteers in the SF Bay Area. This year there was a whole new component, dubbed 'The Green House'. These events ran concurrently, and as a result the house was packed on all levels including the warehouse and outside in the back parking area.
Throughout 2007, as in past years, several key staff meetings, orientations and trainings were also held at BMHQ for volunteers and staff, new and returning. Training sessions included an overview of several topics, including the new e-mail list management system, conflict resolution, difficult conversations, Burning Man Extranet 101, first aid/CPR training, and dealing with on-playa conflict.
Other fun happenings at BMHQ included an Art Framing Workshop, organized and run by a member of the Special Events team, as well as a Hooping Hump Day afternoon for office staffers to learn how to build their own hula-hoops, hosted by the Tech Department's hula-hooping guru. The monthly cake celebrations for staff birthdays also came under new management and have become highly appreciated events, complete with the best little "pyrotechnic" birthday candles ever.
One of the many important event-related functions of the SF Office is 'Transpo', the transportation of items from San Francisco to Gerlach, Black Rock Station, and Black Rock City. In 2007 the transpo manager performed an analysis of costs and associated logistics, and this brought about new ideas. For years, transpo runs were made using an all-rental truck solution. The new plan included renting trucks for the first two runs to the desert and the purchase of a 48′ semi-trailer for the final run. As the team got closer to the final transpo run, it was apparent that the one 48′ trailer was not going to be enough. Fortunately, a few additional trailers had been purchased for the community bike program. With some quick thinking and on-the-fly logistical planning, a second trailer was able to be directed to BMHQ and the remaining items, including all the gate publications, maps, What Where When guides, stickers, etc., were loaded and the third transpo run left SF for the playa, within 24 hours after the originally scheduled departure.
It became important in 2007 to make the office more 'green', to honor the Green Man theme. The Burning Man properties, both in SF and in NV, are a perfect set of test cases for all the things that participants are bringing back to their homes and communities where they live year-round. In January 2007, composting was introduced at the office. Within the first month there was already a 27% savings in waste management costs. As organic waste was diverted to the 'Green' bins and went off to the composting facilities, the number of bags of trash going into our dumpster went down. We estimate that about 40% less trash is going to the landfill. 100% recycled copy and printer paper, compact fluorescent lighting and occupancy sensors in restrooms and conference rooms are a few examples of other upgrades we made in the office.
Facing 2008, the office is running very well, it is a much 'greener' office than years prior. It has been simpler and easier to make these changes than we originally anticipated. An Environmental Assessment report in early 2008 will give some further insight into some of the effects resulting from these and other changes. Moving forward it is the intention to get all Burning Man office procedures and policies documented, and to develop a comprehensive office manual to be used for training new hires, and accessible by all employees on the extranet.
In the end, the success of the San Francisco Office crew is measured a lot like that of a crew on a movie set. When things are operating well for all the staff, the volunteers, and artists, and they are all able to perform their jobs seamlessly and with little frustration, then the SF Office Crew has done its job well. Kudos to them!


Last week we took a tour of The Roasterie, the Kansas City based air-roasted coffee factory. We learned about the history of the company – it was started in a basement in Brookside! – and saw how the coffee is roasted as well as a brewing demonstration. We also got to taste the coffee. The kids didn't like it but I did!
These are some old machinery that used to be used for making coffee.
The bags contain the raw coffee beans from many countries around the world.
The roasters roast a lot of coffee per day, based on how much is ordered. Many places around the city receive fresh coffee daily.
Here is our tour guide showing us how to brew coffee.
We've been on way too many brewery tours (in my opinion) but this was my first coffee related tour and I would definitely do it again!

Robert Kennedy has become a folk-hero in his death. The bulk of the book, however, was written while he was still alive. Margaret Laing's portrait is therefore of the man as he was in life. It is a picture unvarnished or unbiased by the emotions that so terrible a death evokes. But the author has also written an epilogue which puts the haunting tragedy of the young Senator & potential President in historical perspective.

Ahh, the open road. The source of many an inspirational travel tale, but more than a little nerve-wracking for me. However, I went on a #motorbike tour in Queensland, #Australia with Mac Swift (the perfect biker name, I know) and he taught me how much fun I could actually have. We spent an #active day together and he may have changed my mind about the bikes.
The man waiting at the lobby of the Peppers Broadbeach Hotel on the Gold Coast looks slightly out of place. Big brown boots, faded jeans, a leather jacket over a black shirt and a face more worn than all of them. He's holding a takeaway coffee and asking the receptionist if she knows where I am. She's acting professional, but is slightly on edge. You can sense the relief when I walk in and greet the man enthusiastically.
Mac Swift is a biker – in the sense of someone who rides a motorbike. But he's not a bikie – in the sense of someone involved in a criminal motorcycle gang. The problem is that here in Queensland, the state government has been cracking down on the outlaw gangs and that has blurred the line between the two in the eyes of the public.
You can sense the relief when I walk in and greet the man enthusiastically.
"We always get a mixed reaction," Mac tells me when I ask about it later.
Mac runs Wildfire Tours, which offers motorbike and vintage car tours around the Gold Coast on Australia's Queensland coast. There are beaches here – sure. But only a short ride away is the beautiful hinterland with rolling mountains and glorious bushland.
It's as though the roads were made for motorbikes and this is where Mac takes me for a ride on the back of his Harley Davidson. We pass through small boutique villages, past farms, and into the green and brown Australian landscape.
"I do a lot of the 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 year olds because they generally have it on their bucket list "
I've always had a fear of motorbikes. You're a little too exposed and close to the ground for my liking. I try to avoid riding them as much as possible but sometimes on my travels it's unavoidable. Jumping on the back of a bike in Southeast Asia or South America can often be the only way to get somewhere.
The back of a Harley Davidson is surprisingly relaxing.
The back of a Harley Davidson is surprisingly relaxing, though. Although I find myself hanging on tight the whole way, my heart stops pounding so fast after a while and I feel some of the tension leave my body. I don't know if I would call it a "thrill" but it's certainly a different and beautiful way to see the region.
When the ride finishes, I have a bit of a chat to Mac. We had tried to talk along the way but, with the wind and the noise of the engine, I feel like we had just been shouting at each other and pretending to understand what the other was saying. It was nice to have a coffee and hear a bit more about Wildfire Tours.
What would you say to someone who's a bit scared of motorbikes?
"I think when people realize actually being a passenger on a Harley is relaxing they relax into the experience and enjoy it a lot more."
Why aren't motorbikes as popular in Australia as they are in other countries?
I think it's the smaller bikes I'm more scared of. Is there a big difference between those and a Harley?
So what's so special about a Harley Davidson?


Eichmann, Adolf īkh´män [key], 1906–62, German National Socialist official. A member of the Austrian Nazi party, he headed the Austrian office for Jewish emigration (1938). His zeal in deporting Jews brought him promotion (1939) to chief of the Gestapo's Jewish section. Eichmann promoted the use of gas chambers for the mass extermination of Jews in concentration camps, and he oversaw the maltreatment, deportation, and murder of millions of Jews in World War II. Arrested by the Allies in 1945, he escaped and settled in Argentina. He was located by Israeli agents in 1960 and abducted to Israel, where he was tried (1961) and hanged for crimes against the Jewish people and against humanity.

CIA Director 'Covered Up' Truth About JFK'S Assassination
8 October 2015, 7:53 am
American former marine who assassinated John F. Kennedy
35th president of the United States (1917–1963)
The director of the CIA helped to cover up details about the assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963, according to POLITICO magazine.
CIA chief John McCone withheld information from the Warren Commission inquiry into the murder in what is described as a 'benign cover-up'.
The report, by CIA historian David Robarge, said that the 'cover-up' aimed to point the Commission to '"what the Agency believed at the time was the 'best truth.'
That conclusion was that Lee Harvey Oswald was a 'lone wolf', rather than someone in the pay of a foreign power.
The report - based on declassified information - suggests that the CIA offered only, 'passive, reactive and selective,' help to the Commission - and may have withheld information about CIA plots to kill Fidel Castro, as well as information suggesting that the CIA may have been in communication with Oswald.
The report was published within a CIA magazine, and is now available via the The George Washington University's National Security Archive website.

Others were models that never seemed to appeal to the British motorist, while Paul Hill's white 1967 BMW belongs to a third category; the vastly expensive. A price of £1,777 10s 6d meant it was over £400 more costly than a Rover P6, but enthusiasts regarded it as worth every penny. Equally importantly, the 2000 was part of a dynasty that saved one of the world's famous marques.

Drabyn, Rutigliano leave Lipscomb for other jobs
by Russell Vannozzi | Apr 23, 2019 | News, Sports | 0 comments
Before Lipscomb confirmed it was hiring Lennie Acuff as its head coach, the chips started to fall into place Tuesday morning.
Bethel College (Ind.) announced the hiring of Lipscomb assistant Steve Drabyn as its next head coach just before 10 a.m. CT.
One hour later, Belmont coach Casey Alexander added Lipscomb assistant Sean Rutigliano to round out his new staff.
Drabyn was an assistant at Lipscomb for the last six seasons. He built a name for himself as a player at Belmont from 2000-04, leading the nation in free throw percentage (95.1 percent) his junior year.
"It has been a dream of mine to lead my own basketball program, and I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to do it as the head men's basketball coach at Bethel," Drabyn said in a release. "I am drawn to the mission of Bethel being a faith-based community, its outstanding academic reputation, and the strong tradition of athletics."
Rutigliano spent the last four seasons at Lipscomb after stops at Kean University (NJ), University of Alabama Huntsville, Ouachita Baptist University and Army. He was a key member of the staff that guided Lipscomb to its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 2018.
"It's hard to put into words Sean's influence at Lipscomb, and I'm confident his impact will be profound here at Belmont," Alexander said in a statement. "Sean is among the most relational – and relatable – coaches I know, is a relentless recruiter and has a basketball mind that I will rely on."
Acuff has not named his Lipscomb staff yet. Those plans will likely follow in the days after Wednesday's formal introduction of Acuff, which will be held in the Paul Rogers Board Room in the Ezell Center at 2 p.m. CT.

Some minor fixes and stability improvements.
A well designed app I have used for many months and am very happy with. It accurately tracks every dividend-yielding stock I have and reflects the fact that I have multiple accounts. The dividend estimates are on the money (no pun intended) and very helpful for budgeting.
This is a subscription based app and I find the annual fee very reasonable. I'm happy to support the developers in this way. And speaking of the developers, I see that they just released an update with support for fractional shares. Much appreciated, and that's the kind of improvement you can expect when you pay for a subscription.
Lastly, they have a really great feature on their website that displays the top dividend-yielding stocks held in their users' portfolios. I've found (and bought) some great stocks that way.
I downloaded this app about a month ago. I have to say I am very pleased. It is very helpful and it has a great metric. It's been instrumental in helping me plan my portfolio to utilize a dividend strategy. I'd give it 5 stars except after your free trial ends it prompts you to renew. However it didn't auto renew. And I keep getting an error message that it doesn't exist in the App Store. If the developer could I'd greatly appreciate it.
Apologies for that. We just added auto-renew subscriptions to the app and there was a snag with the App Store where the new app was released but not the new subscriptions. All is caught up now and you should be able to renew successfully. Thanks for your patience with this.
As a fundamental investor, I also like to keep track with my ex-dividend dates and dividend payouts. This app is the absolute best. I have tried other apps and websites that charges a very high fee. They offer a very well maintained service. If you are a dividend investor, this is certainly your app.


I went to Dechoes tonight for "Wine Not Wednesday". It was much more than I expected. The place was full of activity. What a fantastic idea this shopowner had to host such an event. An evening of shopping, food, wine and entertainment. What more could you ask for?
Dechoes unveiled their spring collection tonight. They had a huge selection of women's dresses. I found a cute little green dress. I did my usual...I'll think about that...and put it back on the rack. Then I decided I would get it and someone else had snagged it. I have to stop doing that, I'm missing out. I did get a Ann Taylor skirt for 4.99. What a steal!
I only have a few pictures of the night. It was very busy at Dechoes so it was a little hard to get good pictures. Also I was completely absorbed with shopping....Sorry. I will tell you that there was so much going on. I just loved it. Even a person doing henna tatoos, for a donation to Haiti Relief. How great is that! I should have got one...oh next time.
Tonight was so much fun. I can't wait to go again next month.

Q: Moving from Docker Containers to Cloud Foundry containers Recently I started to practice Dockers. Basically, I am running a C application on Docker container. Now, I want to try cloud foundry, therefore, trying to understand the difference between the two.
I'll describe the application as a novice because I am.
The application I start as a service(from /etc/init.d) and it reads a config file during startup, which specifies what all modules to load and IP of other services and it's own (0.0.0.0 does not work, so I have to give actual IP).
I had to manually update the IP and some details in the config file when the container starts. So, I wrote a startup script which did all the changes when the container starts and then the service start command.
Now, moving on to Cloud Foundry, the first thing I was not able to find is 'How to deploy C application' then I found a C build pack and a binary build pack option. I still have to try those but what I am not able to understand how I can provide a startup script to a cloud foundry container or in brief how to achieve what I was doing with Dockers.
The last option I have is to use docker containers in Cloud foundry, but I want to understand if I can achieve what I described above.
I hope I was clear enough to explain my doubt.
Help appreciated.

A: An old question, but a lot has changed since this was posted:

Recently I started to practice Dockers. Basically, I am running a C application on Docker container. Now, I want to try cloud foundry, therefore, trying to understand the difference between the two.

...

The last option I have is to use docker containers in Cloud foundry, but I want to understand if I can achieve what I described above.

There's nothing wrong with using Docker containers on CF. If you've already got everything set up to run inside a Docker container, being able to run that on CF give you yet another place you can easily deploy your workload.
While these are pretty minor, there are a couple requirements for your Docker container, so it's worth checking those to make sure it's possible to run on CF.
https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/push-docker.html#requirements

Anyways, I am not working on this now as CF is not suitable for the project. It's an SIP application and CF only accepts HTTP/S requests.

OK, the elephant in the room. This is no longer true. CF has support for TCP routes. These allow you to receive TCP traffic directly to your application. This means, it's no longer just HTTP/S apps that are suitable for running on CF.
Instructions to set up your CF environment with TCP routing: https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/adminguide/enabling-tcp-routing.html
Instructions to use TCP routes as a developer: https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/routes-domains.html#create-route-with-port

Now, moving on to Cloud Foundry, the first thing I was not able to find is 'How to deploy C application' then I found a C build pack and a binary build pack option.

Picking a buildpack is an important step. The buildpack takes your app and prepares it to run on CF. A C buildpack might sound nice as it would take your source code, build and run it, but it's going to get tricky because your C app likely depends on libraries. Libraries that may or may not be installed.
If you're going to go this route, you'll probably need to use CF's multi-buildpack support. This lets you run multiple buildpacks. If you pair this with the Apt buildpack, you can install the packages that you need so that any required libraries are available for your app as it's compiled.
https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpacks/use-multiple-buildpacks.html
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/apt-buildpack
Using the binary buildpack is another option. In this case, you'd build your app locally. Perhaps in a docker container or on an Ubuntu VM (it needs to match the stack being used by your CF provider, i.e. cf stacks, currently Ubuntu Trusty or Ubuntu Bionic). Once you have a binary or binary + set of libraries, you can simply cf push the compiled artifacts. The binary buildpack will "run" (it actually does nothing) and then your app will be started with the command you specify.
My $0.02 only, but the binary buildpack is probably the easier of the two options.

what I am not able to understand how I can provide a startup script to a cloud foundry container or in brief how to achieve what I was doing with Dockers.

There's a few ways you can do this. The first is to specify a custom start command. You do this with cf push -c 'command'. This would normally be used to just start your app, like './my-app', but you could also use this to do other things.
Ex:  cf push -c './prep-my-app.sh && ./my-app'
Or even just call your start script:
Ex:  cf push -c './start-my-app.sh'.
CF also has support for a .profile script. This can be pushed with your app (at the root of the files you push), and it will be executed by the platform prior to your application starting up.
https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/deploy-app.html#profile
Normally, you'd want to use a .profile script as you'd want to let the buildpack decide how to start your app (setting -c will override the buildpack), but in your case with the C or binary buildpack's, it's unlikely the buildpack will be able to do that, so you'll end up having to set a custom start command anyway.
For this specific case, I'd suggest using cf push -c as it's slightly easier, but for all other cases and apps deployed with other buildpacks, I'd suggest a .profile script.
Hope that helps!

Attributes such as color, line width, pen, mark size, or text size, can be either absolute (a number, or a set of numbers specifying a color) or symbolic (a name). Symbolic attributes must be translated to absolute values by a stylesheet for rendering.
One purpose of stylesheets is to be able to reuse figures from articles in presentations. Obviously, the figure has to use much larger fonts, markers, arrows, and fatter lines in the presentation. If the original figure used symbolic attributes, this can be achieved by simply swapping the stylesheet for another one.
The Ipe user interface is tuned for using symbolic attribute values. You can use absolute colors, pen width, text size, and mark size by clicking the button to the left of the selector for the symbolic names.
When creating an object, it takes its attributes from the current user interface settings, so if you have selected an absolute value, it will get an absolute attribute. Absolute attributes have the advantage that you are free to choose any value you wish, including picking arbitrary colors using a color chooser. In symbolic mode, you can only use the choices provided by the current stylesheet.
The choices for symbolic attributes provided in the Ipe user interface are taken from your stylesheet.


Ponta do Ouro (also Ponta d'Ouro) is a town in the extreme south of Mozambique, a mere 15km from the South African border, lying on the Mozambique Channel south of Maputo. Although no one knows the origin of the name, translated to mean, "Place of Gold," suggestions have ranged from a ship sinking off the coast, losing its cargo of gold, to the golden sunrises over the bay.
Like many countries on the African continent, Mozambique has had an interesting, and turbulent history. Gaining independence from Portugal in 1975, Mozambique faced a bitter civil war for over 26 years, resulting in high levels of poverty and limited infrastructure. After becoming a republic in 1990, the government is slowly but surely trying improving on the country's development.
Boasting a population of approximately 21 million people, most Mozambicans live along the long (2 500 km) coastline, with fishing and simple agriculture providing the essentials of life.
Crossing the tropic of Capricorn, Mozambique has a tropical climate, making it a popular holiday destination for tourists the world over. Although the climate varies slight from area to area, the coastal towns experience their heaviest rainfalls during the months of December to March, classified as their seasonal rains, and enjoy sunshine throughout the year.
Not surprisingly, seafood is the main speciality of Mozambican cuisine with fresh fish, lobster, calamari, prawns and crab being some of the firm favourites. Due to the Portuguese influence, those looking for something a little spicier are well catered for.
Mozambique is truly a unique and wonderful destination to explore, and a holiday destination that will render many happy memories.


A good cookout requires cold beer, good eats and comfortable shoes. Throw on some chinos and a lightweight shirt, roll up the sleeves and keep sauce splashes at bay with a drill cloth work apron. Invest in a quality cooler (which serves as extra seating) and don't forget the tunes from a Bluetooth enabled speaker with big sound.
