AslanPark, the first large-scale cat zoo in Turkey and nearby countries, opens its doors.
AslanPark which was opened at Viaport Marina, the address of the shopping and entertainment world, was built over a 8-decare land. AslanPark, which contains different units based on the species of the big cats, offers the opportunity to see the big cats you see on the screens, very closely, and get to know about them better.
All species at AslanPark are brought from the zoos across Europe, not from their natural habitats. It is aimed to provide them with better opportunities than the parks they have lived. AslanPark is home to the animals that cannot live and will not be able to live in their natural habitats. All our animals are carefully looked after here in an effort to ensure that their species are maintained.
What will you see at AslanPark?
White lions, developed as a result of an extremely rare color mutation seen in the African lions of Kruger species, is a very rare species. It is very difficult to encounter white lions which are known for their calmness, in the wilderness. They only exist in limited numbers in the world as it is so difficult to raise them.
The scientific name of lion is "Panthera leo". Males have long and dreadful manes falling over their shoulders. The weight of a male lion is around 190 -250 kg depending on the environment in which he lives. Whereas the lioness is smaller compared to the male. It is so powerful that it can knock a man down with a stroke of his tail.
A great majority of the tiger population living in the wild today is made up of the Bengal tigers. A large-size male Bengal tiger can grow up to three meters and weigh as much as 290 kg. Despite their weight, they are very good swimmers. Bengal tigers hunt most of the small and large animals. Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal, South Tibet, particularly India and Bangladesh are the places where they inhabit to a great extent.
They live in Central Asia, Middle East and Africa. The males weigh around 12–18 kg while the females weigh between 8-13 kg. They are highly ingenious in hiding themselves; a caracal can make itself flash with the ground and stand still; the color of their fur can give them advantage for an excellent camouflage.
Also known as pars. It is smaller and lighter than a tiger and lion. The body length is 1.5 meters, the tail is 1 meter and the weight is around 50 kg. He's a good jumper and a tree climber. It hunts antelopes and other mammals. They live for as long as 20 years. Due to the speckles, they are usually mistaken for cheetah and jaguar. Leopards have circular empty spots whereas the cheetah have filled round spots. They ambush domestic cattle and sheep, monkeys, deer and antelopes. They are one the most dangerous predatory animals.
It is a predatory mammal living in the continent America, also known as "cougar" or "mountain lion". The length is 120 and the tail is around 70 cm. Some can weigh as much as 100 kg. Females are smaller. Puma is an excellent hunter, master jumper and a good swimmer and can climb trees easily.
The Siberian tiger, also known as the Amur tiger, is a tiger subspecies of feline (cat) family, which inhabits the Siberia. The length of a large Siberian tiger can reach 3.7 meters, one meter of which is the tail. The average weight of a male Siberian tiger living in their natural habitat can reach 600 kg. The Siberian tiger lives in the sparse forests of Siberia. Giant paws and long fur make it possible for the tiger to move easily even in the snow as deep as one meter or more.
The Lynx live solitarily and go hunting usually at dusk and night. Average lifespan of the lynx is between 10-12 years. The lynx can reach a length of 1.30 m and weigh 20-30 kg. Its long legs and short tail ensure that it is resistant to cold and it moves smoothly in thick layers of snow.
Black panther is actually a pars (leopard) and jaguar with speckles and spots on its fur, but looks entirely black due to excess in the number of melanin pigment. This differentiation in colour is not an indication of another species or a subspecies. The individuals with speckles and melanistic fur, among the sibling cubs of the same mother, may coexist. Black panther live in Asia and Africa but their population is higher in Africa.
Strawberry tiger, also called "golden tiger", is known as a separate species like lion, leopard and puma. Strawberry tiger is one of the rarely seen species in the world. This species can only form as a result of the mating of a baby albino Bengal tiger and a regular Bengal tiger and repetitive mating of their cubs for ten generations more. That's why there are only 20 in the world right now.
AslanPark is specially designed so that you can see the big cats closely and they can maintain their lives healthily and happily. Big cats will be behind the glass cages, rather than wire cages in their private compartments. So, you can see them much more clearly. The big cats which are accustomed to the people will see you more clearly and they will live in a more spacious area.
You will be able to caress and feed the cubs living at our zoo until they reach a certain age. We have an important reminder: Only a limited number of persons can caress our cubs and at certain times. You may ask the staff at the zoo for more information.

Kentaro Miura: a Eulogy
May 20, 2021 June 20, 2021 / HolyHarlequin
Kentaro Miura, the creator of Berserk, has passed away. Now granted, I'm not into the story. It's just to dark and freaky for my taste. I'm just picky about darkness in general, probably acts more of a vice at times than I admit.But I still feel respect for the man, from what my friends have told me, especially one who spoke highly of him, his story is as ProfessorGeek on YouTube would call a "Cathartic Motivational" epic.
The main character Guts and his love interest Casca show you that life can be hard and dark but we can't give into the darkness.Not this is not to say stories like Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Lord of The Rings and other epics don't show this, of course they do, but Beserk, as I understand it, does it on a VERY extreme level, and Guts and Casca, figuratively speaking here, go through the 9 circles of Hell together. Kinda like Joseph and Mina Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula, if thats a good comparison, maybe it isn't, I dunno.
But I think I still owe this man because while *I* may not be into epics like his, there are many epics I do like, which some, in anime and manga in particular, came about because their creators were inspired by Mr. Miura and if it wasn't for him. They probably would never be inspired and I wouldn't be able to enjoy those epics and in turn be inspired by them.
Heck, Warhammer 40k inspired my own fictional universe, PUNKS, and I have a friend who is a FERVENT 40k fan while I'm not too into it.
All art, wether it be paintings, sculptures, music, architecture, literature, plays, movies, comics all were influenced by someone. As such, that person has inspired another creator who's work you enjoy and are even inspired by, even if you don't like or agree with that artist's own inspiration.
Modern Corporate Culture likes to have us think we are better than what came before us or even are some kind of correction to what came before us. But in reality that could never be further from the truth.
So I say thank you Kentaro Miura. You may not been my inspiration, but you probably were the inspiration for creators who's work I enjoyed.

In these two recordings for young children, narrated by the author, life with siblings gets funny and tender attention. In the first entertaining story, a child does his best to send a monster on the trail of his brother instead of him, only to discover his own deep affection for his sibling. The second humorous story teaches children how to be patient and honest about their feelings when a newborn joins the family.


Kenojuak Askevak, a once-nomadic artist from Canada's Arctic region whose prints and drawings help introduce Inuit art to much of the world, died on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at her home in Cape Dorset on West Baffin Island in Nunavut. She was 85.
Much loved and well respected, Kenojuak continues to add to her long list of accomplishments as she explores some of her favorite themes as part of Inunoo's first artistic collection of printed silk scarves and ties. Her captivating drawings have been incorporated in the scarf pattern "Enchanted Bird"and tie pattern "Strutting Birds". A woman of many talents and honours in her lifetime, Kenojuak continues to excite us with her art.
"In addition to graphics, Kenojuak has worked as a sculptor over the years. "When I'm doing graphic work, sometimes I have to hold the paper and look at it and feel it, and then the work starts to come out," she explains. "It's easier to do the carvings because you can see the shape three dimensionally before it's formed. ... But I prefer to work on drawings; the stone can be hard, and you have to be outside carving."
Kenojuak is the recipient of two honorary doctorates and is the subject of several books and a film. She is a Companion of the Order of Canada, recipient of a Lifetime Aboriginal Achievement Award, and has a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame. In 2004 Kenojuak became the first Inuit artist ever to create imagery for a stained glass window, in a commission for the Chapel of Appleby College in Oakville, coordinated by Feheley Fine Arts. In 2008 she received the renowned $25,000 Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts from the Canada Council of the Arts.
Kananginak Pootoogook has been involved with drawing and printmaking since the late 1950's when the West Baffin Co-operative first initiated the graphic art program in Cape Dorset. He was instrumental in the formation of the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative and served for many years as President of its Board of Directors. He is also a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of the Arts.
Aoudla Pudlat was one of the younger Cape Dorset graphic artists when he began drawing in the early 1970's. He captured the attention of galleries and collectors alike with his highly stylized bird images, and is perhaps best known for his work in this theme. About the time Aoudla began to draw, he also began his apprenticeship in the lithography studio. As his mastery of the printing process progressed, he proofed and editioned many of his own works. His signature chop appears on many of the lithographs editions in the Kinngait Studios throughout the late 1970's and 1980's.
In early 1982, Nordair adopted a Northern look for the cabin interior of its aircraft with a new upholstery fabric. It features the design "Arctic Silhouettes", created by Aoudla Pudlat, a young artist from Cape Dorset, Nunavut and silk screen printed on washable wool fabric by Mantegna Inc.
Inunoo has chosen Aoudla's skillfully drawn birds with their whimsical character and stylish plumes as part of its scarf and tie collection. Aoudla died in the summer of 2006 while traveling on his skidoo with a friend crossing the ice floats.
Ningiukulu, born May 27, 1963, is the daughter of Joanasie Salomonie (deceased) and his wife Kanajuk. Her father, Joanasie, was a community leader and much loved in Cape Dorset for his sense of humour, mischief and compassion. Ningiukulu now devotes her full time to her family and to her drawing, which she does at home.
Ninguikulu is steadily emerging as a versatile and intelligent graphic artist. She is becoming more prolific as her experience and confidence grow, and is comfortable with both traditional and more contemporary themes and approaches.
She has a graphic style of drawing that relates to textiles like no other Inuit artist. Inunoo has chosen several of her works for scarves and now hand woven carpets.
"Nightly Churring" is a new pleated scarf in three colour-ways. "Ptarmigan" and"Inukshuk" designs are a series of 6, "One of a Kind" hand tufted carpets . Her new carpet design "Arctic Cotton" is currently for sale.
Shuvinai Ashoona, born in 1961, began to draw in 1995. While never formally trained in graphic arts,Shuvinai Ashoona's drawings flip between closely observed naturalism and visions of the fantastical, monstrous, and strange. A third-generation Cape Dorset artist, Ashoona is descended from creative royalty: her grandmother was the acclaimed graphic artist Pitseolak Ashoona, and the sculptor Kiawak Ashoona was her father. Her cousin Annie Pootoogook is much admired in southern Canada for her unsentimental drawings of contemporary Inuit life. Still, Shuvinai stands distinct from them all, bestowing an eerie or unsettling mood upon even her most quotidian subjects.
These include obsessively worked landscapes in which Inuit families camp, hunt, and fish among barren expanses of pebbles, stones, and rocks; detailed townscapes where Inuit adults and children work and play amid prefab buildings; and canvas tents with wooden doors scavenged from shipping crates.
Napachie Pootoogook was born in 1938 at Sako, a small camp on south Baffin Island. She died in December, 2002, of cancer. Napachie was the only daughter of the late Pitseolak Ashoona.
Napatchie began drawing in the late 1950s. Since 1960 her work has been included in almost every annual collection of Cape Dorset prints. Napatchie and her husband moved into Cape Dorset in 1965, where they have continued to live, except for a two-year stay in Iqaluit in the early 1970s.
Napachies' work in recent years has focused on local history and stories about people and events in the Cape Dorset area, often with accompanying text to explain the circumstances. She thought of herself in her maturing years as an historian and chronicler of local oral history, and she has amassed a unique and important body of work. A selection of these contemporary drawings, along with a retrospective of her earlier work was exhibited and catalogued by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in their 1999 exhibitionThree Women, Three Generations. This exhibition also featured the work of her mother, Pitseolak Ashoona, and her niece, Suvinai Ashoona. A solo exhibition of her later autobiographical works opened in May, 2004 at the Winnipeg Art Gallery.

I'm torn about this Vogue "eco-friendly" editorial. The good thing is Anna Wintour seems to have discovered this thing we call eco-fashion. The bad thing is she does not seem to know what it means.
Sure, everyone knows that Stella McCartney is eco, so throw her in there (in the form of a $2,895 trench coat). Michael Kors made a $1,295 sweater from organic cotton? Throw that in there too! A Vera Wang bustier made with hemp fibers and peace silk? Sure!
It's the same old stuff, in eco-guise. A steep price tag is just not enough to make something eco. While some of these materials may be better than their alternatives, most of these fashion houses make loads of crap from "conventional" materials, probably in Asian factories. One eco piece does not make up for all the rest. We call this greenwashing.
I was excited to see a turtleneck from Organic by John Patrick in there (which, at $110, seems like a steal in comparison). He's one of those who actually gets it.
And no, Anna, fur is not considered eco even though it is a "natural material." I could go on, but I will not.

\section{}

In the late '70s, the acceleration of charged particles at astrophysical shock waves was theoretically predicted, within the diffusive shock acceleration model, to result in a power-law momentum distribution of the accelerated particles, i.e., $N(\gamma) = N_0 (\gamma/\gamma_0)^{-\alpha}$, where $\gamma$ is the electrons Lorentz factor and $\alpha$ the power law index \citep{Bell:78a, Blandford.Ostriker:78}. Recently, \citet{Fraschetti.Pohl:17a} modelled the baseline photon spectrum of the Crab Nebula, the remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred in AD $1054$ and showed that a single log-parabola spectrum of energetic electrons, accelerated at the termination shock of the Nebula, can reproduce the observations over $21$ orders of magnitude in photon energy. The log-parabola takes the form $N(\gamma) = N_0 (\gamma/\gamma_0)^{-\alpha - \beta {\rm log}(\gamma/\gamma_0)}$, where $\beta$ is the spectral curvature.

Double power-laws in solar energetic particle (hereafter SEPs) spectra have been observed for more than a decade \citep[e.g.][]{Mason.etal:02,Mewaldt.etal:05}. \citet{Li.Lee:15} have shown that the Parker equation with power-law injected particles near the Sun admits a double power-law as a solution at $1$~AU if one includes an energy dependence of the scattering mean free path and adiabatic deceleration in the radially divergent solar wind. However, that study neglects perpendicular diffusion \citep[e.g.][]{Fraschetti.Jokipii:11} that plays a relevant role in large gradual SEP events \citep[and references therein]{Droege.etal:16}. \citet{Mewaldt.etal:12} reported the proton spectra of the 16 Ground Level Events (hereafter GLEs), i.e., SEPs events with a proton flux exceeding the background of galactic cosmic rays in the neutron monitors \citep{Lopate:06}, that occurred during solar cycle $23$. The spectra of such possibly shock-accelerated protons (in the range $\sim 0.1$ MeV to $500-700$ MeV) can be reproduced \citep{Mewaldt.etal:12} by the Band function \citep{Band.etal:93}.  This is an empirical fitting function originally introduced to fit the $\gamma$-ray spectra of Gamma Ray Bursts, and comprises two power-laws with different index continuously joined at an energy break $E_0$.

In this study, we have used the GLE spectra of solar cycle $23$ to establish a relation of  $\beta$ to $E_0$. We assume that the measured spectra do not change since the injection, likely to happen in shocks driven by gradual coronal mass ejections. The log-parabola spectrum results from the leakage of the highest-energy particles that leads to the spectral softening and is described in terms of the probability of containing such particles in proximity of the shock \citep{Massaro.etal:04,Fraschetti.Pohl:17a, Fraschetti.Pohl:17b}. As the particle energy grows, the non-planarity of the shock surface and the greater scattering mean free path modify this probability by introducing an energy-dependence.

We have used multi-spacecraft $1-$day integrated proton spectra of the GLEs of solar cycle $23$ from ACE/ULEIS, ACE/EPAM, GOES-8/11, SAMPEX-PET instruments, available at the energetic particles repository {http$://$www.srl.caltech.edu$/$sampex$/$
DataCenter$/$DATA$/$EventSpectra$/$index$\_$ace.html}. We have carried out a best-fit of the entire GLE sample. Figure \ref{fig:1}, left panel, shows the log-parabola best-fit of the August $24^{th} $ 2002 event in comparison with the two asymptotic power-laws from the Band function best-fit. Figure \ref{fig:1}, right panel, shows for each of the $16$ events our best-fit $\beta$ vs the best-fit $E_0$ from \citet{Mewaldt.etal:12}. Despite  the limited sample available, we find an anticorrelation of the best-fit parameters. The only event with $E_0 > 100$ MeV has a large relative error for both $\beta$ ($41 \%$) and $E_0$ ($28 \%$) due to the little spectral curvature in the energy range considered, i.e., $0.08  -100 $ MeV. The two events with $E_0 < 5$ MeV have a spectral coverage $\leq 3$ decades with also a resulting poorer determination of $E_0$ (and $\beta$).

In summary, our finding shows for most of the $16$ GLE events of cycle $23$ an anti-correlation $\beta \simeq E_0 ^{-0.36}$. Such an anti-correlation results from the fact that a shock structure confining higher-energy particles (higher $E_0$) enables particle acceleration via the diffusive mechanism up to higher energies with a spectrum closer to a power-law (smaller $\beta$). A log-parabola fit allows also for a reduced number of free parameters, modulo a normalization: one power-law index ($\alpha$) and a global spectral curvature ($\beta$) as opposed to two power-laws indexes and the break $E_0$. Thus, we propose to replace the single energy value of the break $E_0$ with the parameter $\beta$ that describes a global spectral behaviour.

Q: Storing the variable value across each execution of script - PHP I have this code:
$filename = 'files.xml';
$dom = new DomDocument();

$dom->load($filename);

$oldCount = '';

$newCount = $dom->getElementsByTagName('file')->length;

if($newCount == $oldCount){
echo "There are no new elements in the XML.\n";
}

else {
 echo "New Count is: ".$newCount."\n";
 echo "Old Count is: ".$oldCount."\n";

for ($oldCount =0; $oldCount < $newCount; $oldCount++){
    $file = file_get_contents('files.xml');
    $xml = simplexml_load_string($file);

    $result = $xml->xpath('file');
    echo "File ".($oldCount+1).": ".$result[$oldCount]."\n\n";
    //echo "Old: ".$oldCount."\n";
    //echo "New: ".$newCount."\n";
   }
   $oldCount = $newCount;
   //echo "Old Count at the end: ".$oldCount."\n";
}
echo "Old Count at the end: ".$oldCount."\n";

What I want to do is ensure that the value of $oldCount is stored at the end such that, if files.xml has the same number of elements inside the , it would display - "There are no new elements in the XML" when the program is run the second time around.
For test purpose, I have 2 elements in my xml, meaning my xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<files>
  <file>.DS_Store</file>
  <file>ID2PDF_log_2.xml</file>
</files>

So, if I run my test.php with only these 2 elements, it should display the info first time. But, the second time I run it, it should display the message.
It's pretty obvious I am weak at variable scope in PHP.
How can I do this?

A: Command line doesn't support sessions without workarounds, since sessions generally depend on cookies (which don't exist in the command-line) or passing around url query parameters.
Instead, just dump your number out to a file, e.g.
file_put_contents('count.txt', $count);

then read it in later, e.g.
$count = file_get_contents('count.txt');

Development of production strategy is the road to success
Today almost in all countries market form of economics is recognized as the prevailing one with which all benefits have the price – each article, each work or service is sold and bought at the certain price (cost). Even the labor has the cost in the form of the salary or the income. At the same time the market became the center, a peculiar ground where the manufacturer (seller) and the consumer (buyer), i.e. a demand and an offer or, on the contrary, an offer and a demand meet each other.
The elementary market is a trade from hand to hand, eye to eye, direct exchange under the principle "log rolling". Such market often was called a "bazar" and has preserved in this form till nowadays (the ware market, the market of vegetables and fruit, construction materials, etc.). In 18th-19th centuries the market was free. The enterprises made goods for the unknown and unregulated market, they competed among themselves generally by reducing prices of the production. By the beginning of the 20th century the market becomes more and more adjustable. Production and sale of bulk of goods is controlled by the monopolies which have divided the market into spheres of the influence. At the same time the monopolistic capital combats, mainly, by means of non- price competition, by means of dictatorship in relation to competitors. Today's market is the state regulated market. It is characterized by an active role of the state in development of the market relations, observance by all producers of rules of the fair, civilized competition, and antimonopoly policy. The regulated market doesn't exclude the competition which in present conditions isn't a competition for prize-winning places in comparison with planned economy, and rather is struggle of enterprises for acquisition of own "niche" in the corresponding market, marketing channels, receiving maximum benefit from the activity. As practice shows, one can achieve all this on the basis of the thought-over and purposeful production strategy. The word "strategy" was originally applied in military science and meant none other than science, art of conducting military operations. The commander who won or sought to win battle without big losses of manpower and the equipment i.e. keeping fighting capacity of the army was considered as the good strategist.
Strategy is applied also in economic practice. Unlike military strategy, economy strategy means long-term principles and intentions of the government on rational use of the productive forces and natural resources which are available in the country, ensuring macroeconomic stability, a gain of the national income, creation of wellbeing in society, etc. Evidence of that is the Decree of the President Shavkat Mirziyoev "On the strategy of actions for further development of the Republic of Uzbekistan" of February 7 of this year in which the priority directions of development of economy, increase in efficiency of reforms and improvement of a social and state system for the next five years are defined. The adopted document of development of strategy of actions not only raises it on qualitatively new level, but makes it important and obligatory at all levels, in all branches and links of economy. Development of strategy of actions is especially important for the enterprises which are, firstly, the main production link of economy, and secondly, manufacturers of production required for society. It has to include target setting and development of policy on their achievement. It should answers the following questions:
What products, how many, and of what quality the enterprise needs to produce?
How and what markets are to be entered to and production should be represented in?
What actions, how and why should be to carry out first of all?
What price policy should be followed?
What approx. period the developed strategy has to be intended for?
Answering these questions, one can define the current and perspective mission of the enterprise, i.e. how it looks today, or will look, approximately, in 5-10 years. The most important here is an objective assessment of activity of the enterprise in the past (for example, one year, 2-3 years ago) and in the present, and definition of the "strong" and "weak" sides both of own production, and production of competitors. For this purpose, first of all, deep economic analysis of activity of the enterprise and the record of consumer demand for the production or the rendered services is required. The latter, in practice, is carried out, as a rule, by questioning dedicated to studying of consumer demand. Activity of competitors – from production and sale of products to the innovations realized or planned to be realized - should always be kept under review of the enterprise.
If advantages over the competitor (s) are at the level of 30%, it means, according to modern calculations, that goods and services of this (your) enterprise are in a weak competitive position; rate within 30-50% is rather steady position in the market; rate of 50-70% is the successful competitive position in the market, and over 70% means control over the market of this production (services). The strategy of ensuring competitiveness should be built using only one of types of competitive advantages: attracting consumers (buyers) with rather low price of production in comparison with competitors, or satisfying demand of the most exacting buyers who demands exclusively quality production. These two types of competitive advantages should not be combined. The business plan should specify or show what strategy of production and ensuring the production competitiveness is chosen by the enterprise.
Production strategy has to have the advancing character. Such components as commodity and price policy, decrease in costs of production, fight against reject and against all types of losses and unproductive expenses need to feed coherently into it. Strategy can be considered effective if it promotes growth of production capacity of the enterprise, ensuring its economic stability and competitiveness. These provisions are considered as the first step of the production strategy realized by the enterprise. The second step – strategy has to be aimed at ensuring financial independence of the enterprise, its solvency and growth of profitability level of production. At last, the third strategic step is an orientation of the enterprise to modern waste-free technologies and "know-how", use of all advanced experience accumulated in domestic and foreign practice. In total development and realization of production strategy has to promote maintenance of high image of the enterprise in the corresponding market, expansion of a consumer ( i.e clients) range, and acceleration of turnover of the resources involved in production and return to enterprise with obligatory "plus". To do that the enterprise has not to produce that production it capable or able to produce, but production which is in demand in the consumer world, i.e. doesn't sit unsold in finished goods warehouses, which is fast selling goods. This requirement which is, in fact, the most important condition of survival of any enterprise in the conditions of today's market system and the developing competition, unfortunately, isn't fulfilled itself or automatically. To do that, as practice shows, the enterprise (s), firstly, has to work continuously to improve quality of manufactured products, which shouldn't concede to the foreign analogues, but rather should even exceed them. Secondly, not only director, but also all staff of the enterprise has to feel concern about quality and progress of production. Thirdly, the thought-over and effective advertizing activity has to be carried out, they shouldn't spare expenses, save funds for advertizing which has been main "engine" of trade. At last, fourthly, it is expedient to carry out flexible price policy, keeping in mind, at the same time, that the profit or the income of the enterprise (seller) in general, increases or can increase not only by advance of price of manufactured commodity products, but in many respects owing to growth of volume of sales.
Development and realization of production strategy by the enterprises are not an end in themselves, but order of the day and, at the same time, the requirement of the huge transformations occurring today in country life. Possessing the thought-over and purposeful strategy, the enterprises ensure, first of all, long life cycle and participation, both in internal, and in foreign market. It is the effective instrument of management, planning and forecasting of production, providing superiority over competitors and strengthening of the positions in market space. In other words, strategy is a program of achievement of goals of progressive development both by the enterprises and each enterprise separately. Managing such strategy is one of important tasks of the enterprises, irrespective of their branch affiliation, form of ownership, location and other signs.

By Avery Osen
The Kansas State track and field teams set new records at the National Relay Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on Friday and Saturday.
Overall, both the women's and men's teams finished in third place at Fayetteville. The K-State men ended with 29 points and the women had 34.
After the meet, Cliff Rovelto, director of track and field and cross country, told K-State Sports on Saturday he was pleased with the event and his teams' results.
"We had a significant number of quality performances within our relays," Rovelto said to K-State Sports. "We saw some great efforts. I really like the format of the meet. Having Friday to do a lot of open stuff was great. The brevity of today's competition is really nice."
K-State track and field sets numerous records over the weekend
On day one, the Wildcats had several notable individual and team performances.
In the women's 1,600-meter sprint medley relay, juniors Taishia Pryce and Akia Guerrier, senior Asha Cave and sophomore Kassidy Johnson placed second in the event and had the fastest time in school history. The team ran a time of 3:46.76, which was over seven seconds better than their time at the Texas Relays earlier this season.

Freshman Lavaun Stephenson ran 58.91 in the women's 400-meter hurdles, placing third in the event.

When it comes to you're the health of your child's eyes and vision…don't take any gambles. Get proactive. Take the first steps toward that by reaching out to IC Laser Eye Care and speak to our Philadelphia pediatric ophthalmologist.
But my child hasn't ever complained about vision problems. While that could be the case, it doesn't mean it will always be that way. That's largely because vision inevitably changes as we age. Eye tissue loses flexibility and moisture which can lead to severe vision complications further down the line. Of course, seeing a professional with regularity means there's a good chance you'll find spots any conditions in their embryonic stages. And the sooner you find them, the easier they are to treat. It's important to keep in mind that evaluations aren't one and the same. Mainly there are two different types you'll likely go through: a vision test and an eye evaluation. What the first does is assess how well (or poorly) you're able to see. Pretty much, it's the prerequisite evaluation one would get to get a prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses. Standard issue. The second type of test involves a scanning of the physical properties of the eye, searching for any conditions (Glaucoma, Cataracts, etc.) that could be taking hold and slowly afflicting it. Sound good? Our patients certainly think so. Swing your child over to IC Laser Eye Care and speak to our Philadelphia pediatric ophthalmologist.
That's all there is to it. Take the first magical step toward crystal clear vision by phoning or e-mailing IC Laser Eye Care. There you can meet with our amazing Philadelphia pediatric ophthalmologist.. Couldn't possibly be any easier. So what in the world are you waiting for? Act quickly—reach out to us today. And get your kiddos eye health on the right path.

Geeking Out: Yarn Substitutions
June 17, 2021 December 10, 2016 by Liz
Yarn is forever, but yarns, sadly, come and go. An overwhelming number of respondents to the last survey I sent out, said that not knowing much about yarn kept them from weaving more. Many weavers mentioned specifically the challenge they have with making yarn substitutions, or that they only have big box stores nearby to shop for yarn and they were reluctant to shop online because they couldn't see the yarn. When looking to substitute one yarn for another, I look at matching three factors: size, content, and style.
The easiest way to compare yarn is by looking at the two given yarns side by side, but that typically isn't possible if one of them isn't available. I use yards per pound as a way to find a common metric between any two given yarns.
I live in the U.S., so I think in terms of yards and ounces. Weaving patterns list the yarn's weight in yards per pound, while most knitting patterns list the size standards created by the Craft Yarn Council as well as the yardage by put-up. You need to work a few simple calculations in order to compare apples to apples.
Many yarn maker's have the maddening habit of listing yards per gram on their labels. To figure out yards per pound from yards per gram, first translate the grams into ounces by dividing the number of grams by 28. Technically, the conversion is 28.3495, but you don't have to get down to that level of detail. Then divide the number of ounces into to the yardage on the label. This gives you the number of yards per ounce. Multiply this number by 16 and you get the yards per pound. The calculation looks like this:
_____ grams ÷ 28 = ____ ounces
_____ ball or skein yards ÷ _____ ounces = yd/oz
_____ yd/oz × 16 = yds/lb
You can also work backwards from the yd/lb to figure out the yardage of a 1.75 oz/50 gram or 3oz/100 gram skien, a common yarn put-up in balls or skeins.
Creative Knitting magazine has a handy calculator on their website that translates grams to ounces and calculates how much yarn you will need for a project.
Compare the yd/lb of the yarn in the pattern to the yd/lb of the yarn you would like to use. They don't have to match exactly, but they should be close. You do, however, need to be sure the you are comparing the same fiber types—a pound of cotton is a different size than a pound of wool.
Size and content are closely related. You can match a same-sized wool and cotton yarn, but they will act differently in the cloth. You want to get as close to the original content as possible.
Weaving is about making a final object, but it is also about the experience, and getting to know your materials is what will make the experience better.
Natural Fibers
Natural fibers are made from base materials found in nature and not synthesized in a lab. We weavers love our natural fibers. I really can't say it better than Clara Park's answer to the question, What's the deal with all these sheep that folks keep going on about? (I paraphrase the question.) You could easily substitute other natural fibers such as cotton, linen, mohair, cashmere for "sheep" and get the same answer. Nature really knows what she is doing when it comes to yarn
You don't have to use natural fibers, but if that is what the pattern calls for, it will pay off to be mindful about matching the content as closely as possible to get the same final look and feel. If you can't find yarn that is 100% of the same fiber, then look for a same-sized yarn that at least has some of the same content, the higher the better.
I acknowledge that allergies are also an issue, and you may have to use a yarn that makes you or your recipient happy and healthy.
Synthesized fibers
Synthesized fibers use natural materials as their base, but transform them in a lab. They are also called semi-synthetic. Many synthesized fibers are engineered to substitute for natural ones. For instance, rayon substitutes well for silk. Rayon can be made with three primary methods—acetate, viscose, and lyocell—so if you see these names on the label they are all rayon as is Tencel and bamboo. Rayons also blend well with wool, cotton, and linen.
Superwash wool is another example of synthesized fiber. The wool is treated so that the scales of the individual fibers are smoothed and won't interlock while washing which is what causes wool to felt. This process makes wool yarn machine washable. Superwash yarns are designed to be stable and don't bloom in the final wash, which is what brings woven cloth to life. I like mixing superwash and non-superwashed fibers in the the cloth so that some of the yarns will bloom.
Nylon and Acrylic could also arguably be called semi-synthetic as they are derived from coal and petroleum/oil which is found in nature, but they are almost wholly constructed in the lab. They may or may not substitute well for other natural fibers.
Nylon is derived from coal. Nylon is shiny, tough, stretchable, and melts under a hot iron. The fibers are non-absorbent, quick drying, and won't wrinkle. Nylon is often blended with other fibers to add toughness, particularly to sock yarn.
Acrylic is petroleum based. The fabric is lightweight, warm, and quick drying. It has less stretch than nylon and I find that it can cause the same issues in woven cloth like superwash. As with nylon, blending acrylic with other fibers can lend both of their good qualities to the final yarn. Both of these fibers are inexpensive and designed for lots of wash and wear, although neither are very absorbent and won't make a good choice for kitchen and bath items, but do make fine scarves and shawls, just don't expect them to be as warm as wool or other natural protein fibers.
There are a number of nice wool/acrylic blends that you can find at either a local yarn store or at a big box craft store, such as Berroco Vintage or Lion Brand's Wool-Ease.
A note on "natural" vs. "synthetic". All yarn production involves resources—water, land, fuel, and labor. Most involve some sort of chemical. Just because a yarn is synthetic doesn't mean it's bad, or a that a natural yarn means its good. Modern farming practices can be highly water intensive and use vast amounts of pesticides to create natural fibers. Some manufactured yarns use naturally growing renewable resources and less water than some of the "natural" counterparts—and some do not. Get to know your fiber and yarn to make the best choice for your lifestyle.
I will try to restrain myself from getting too geeked out here about style. I use this term rather loosely to describe the way a yarn is made. I'm a hand spinner and I look at yarn style the same way I look at beer styles—with a keen eye as to what I want and don't want. This level of detail may be too much for those of you just beginning your weaving journey. If you can match the size and content closely, you can slide a bit on style.
There are two things that go into styling a yarn: twist and construction.
The basic building block of yarn is fiber, whether natural or synthetic. The length of the fiber determines how much twist the fiber needs to have the integrity to stay put during use. Short fibers, such as cotton, need a lot of twist. Long fibers, such as silk and mohair, need less.
You will often hear yarn connoisseurs talk about the degree of twist or the ply twist being low or high. Generally speaking, the firmer the twist, the harder the yarn. The lower the twist, the softer the yarn. Yarns that are tightly plied and smooth are traditionally thought of as good warp. Tender, loosely plied, or softly spun yarns are often shunned. There is a trade-off between these two extremes. You want yarn that will be strong, but you may also want it to be pliable. To which end you lean depends on your end use.
The way yarns are spun beyond twist also affect the style of yarn. Fibers can be spun and used as a single, or plied together. The number of plies and how the yarn is plied—from high ply twist to low—and other novelty constructions such as bouclé, thick and thin, and spiral yarns determines a lot about how the yarn will act.
It may not be possible to actually compare the style of the yarn in the pattern vs. the one you may want to use because, after all, you are going through this exercise because the pattern yarn is not available. You will learn to start looking at fringe or scanning the yarn description to give you some possible information about the style of yarn
Often the yarn is available, but not the color. This issue goes beyond the scope of this little post. I wrote Knitty column that talks about weaving and color for the Spring + Summer 2017 issue. You can check that out here.
Delving into these three aspects of yarn—size, content, and style—will make you a better and more happy weaver. It will, at the very least, give you a little bit more confidence when you are shopping for your next project, whether you are shopping in a store, online, or in your stash.
Weave happy folks!
Edited: It completely escaped my mind to mention a great website, www.yarnsub.com. You can type in the name of a discontinued yarn and the site pops up a list of suggested substitutions. You have to be a little cautious as this tells you substitutes from a knitter's perspective not necessarily a weavers.

BREHME HUGO
He arrived in Mexico in 1905. At 20 and masterfully handled his photographic equipment, taking photos with artistic sense for their studies in Germany. Brehme time lived much of his life in Mexico, naturalized Mexican shortly before his death. A Brehme is known for its printed postcards and their influence on several generations of Mexican photographer Manuel Alvarez Bravo. At first the postal market was dominated by photographers such as Bollbrügge, Briquet, Kahlo, Miret, Ruhland & Ahlschier, Scott and Waite. At the regional level, for example, Schneider in Chihuahua, Kaiser in Guadalajara and San Luis Potosi, Gossmann in Saltillo and Zacatecas Neubert. In 1912, Brehme was established professionally in Mexico City, opening a studio on the 1st. San Juan de Letran No. 3, direction of their first orders. In 1919 he opened another study on Avenida Cinco de Mayo No. 27, which he called "Hugo Brehme Art Photography". This is where Manuel Alvarez Bravo worked and learned the basics of photography and the production of postcards. He died in a car accident in 1954.

The Price for Alpha or Exclusive Access and Leaks
It could have been worse when I had my YouTube account penalized for violations and am now suspended from both setting unlisted videos and no longer can host videos 15 minutes and longer until the penalty is lifted in July. It all started with a poor decision on my part that spiraled out of control when I failed to act in a timely matter as I considered making a decision.
I was in the market to bring more game play video to the Dragon Blogger YouTube channel, and had an offer to hire some freelance people to play and record themselves playing game play footage for our channel. This was innocent, you simply record the play of the game you are playing and enjoying anyway in a series for the channel on that game. As a sample to see how their recordings turn out, they could get a new game I would buy if they covered some game footage of games they already had first.
It worked out sort of at first, I got some game footage and some limited view interest and increase, but when one person I hired offered early access footage from the World of Warships game that he was part of the Alpha too I thought an Alpha would get some notice so I accepted some vids and uploaded them to the channel.
I failed take note that the game was under a non-disclosure agreement but a comment was left after the videos had started really reaching combinations of thousands of views and I was trying to dig up information on how an NDA applies to leaked information when my properties and myself didn't actually sign an NDA we just received the game footage. In the end I had made the decision to take down the content and immediately marked it all for deletion on my YouTube channel less than 1 week after it was hosted.
By that time it was too late, claims had been filed and went through after the vids were already deleted and slapped the penalties on the channel. This was a lesson learned, in an effort to try and host early or first access content I had stepped into something without thinking of the consequences. As a result being in a race to be the first to publish anything about any game isn't something to really seek after anymore, a small site has very little chance to legally get early access to content as game developers provide snapshots and vids and access (with permission to share) only to the bigger companies. Fortunately most games that go Beta aren't under NDA like Alpha versions are, but be very careful when reading those NDA's that you sign when doing any gaming, some NDA's will forbid you from Twitch streaming, recording, uploading or even taking screenshots to put in a blog post or forum.

The 'M' in the BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe stands for more, more of everything including more style and more performance. BMW considers it a luxury sports car with four-doors.
The face of the new BMW 8 Series has contoured radiator grille kidneys that broaden as they descend towards the road, emphasising the car's low centre of gravity. As on early BMW coupes, the kidney elements are linked by an unbroken grille surround, creating a large single element. The headlights are positioned slightly higher than the kidneys and give them the impression of sitting lower, which further emphasizes the car's low profile.
The gold-coloured kidney surround brings an added air of exclusivity to the front end. Within the headlights, the lighting technology familiar from the M8 GTE endurance racer provides a dynamic, hexagonal interpretation of BMW's signature four-eyed front end, distilling elements of modern-day motor sport and luxurious quality. Brawny air intakes in carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) guide the air to where it is required.
A long wheelbase, long hood, flowing roofline and short tail create a very sporty coupe silhouette. Being every inch the BMW M car, the BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe has a roof made from CFRP which lowers the car's centre of gravity both visually and physically, and aerodynamically optimised exterior mirrors.
Like the BMW Concept 8 Series before it, the BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe shows off BMW's new design language, headlined by expressive surfacing that accentuates the car's dynamism more vividly than before through its bodywork. The Salève Vert paint finish appears to change colour from green to greyish blue in different lights, is paired with the gold-coloured window graphic, hallmark M gills, gold-coloured brakes, wheel rims and M twin exhaust tailpipes to give the car an all-new look.
The new model sees the BMW Group looking ahead to the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe and BMW M8 Gran Coupe, which will be presented in 2019 and will round off the BMW 8 Series family.

I was then transferred in to PATSU 1-11 which was deployed to the Solomon Islands and the island hopping campaign from Guadalcanal to Munda, Ondonga, Green Island to Emereau,Manus and then back to the States in the fall of 1944. I knew Herman Terry in the metal shop as well as "anvilhead," "Duck" Mallard, Marlow and others. I was a part time flight crew member as well, as an instrument mechanic while on the ground duty roster. I had been to gunnery school at Purcell Okla, on the way to Treasure Island Ca. where we boarded LST-448. About half way to Pearl Hardor, the steering linkage motor "burned out" and we had hand-steer to return to San Diego to get a new one. Then on the way to Pearl and more than halfway there, the motor burned out again and we had to steer the LST by hand. We got off the LST in Pearl and went ashore onto Ford Island. There we had two decker iron cots, which the master at arms would come in and beat on the bedstead with a billy club to wake us up in the morning. There at Ford Island, I saw my first and only Admiral all of the time I was in the Navy. I had made AMM1/c while in the islands and was wearing a hash mark when I got back to the NAS Alameda, California where we bought new clothes. As we were on the ferry over to town to buy our clothes "new dress blues" we met our first female sailors. One I was talking to was a ACMM and she had been in the Navy nine months! We had to box up our dress blues and personal gear while at NAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. in 1943. Therein was my clothes as well as a gold high school class ring and wrist watch. None of which were ever seen again. The box never got home.

HUTCHISON, CDR Clarence H. Retired http://www.vc-35andvaaw-35.org/stories/coalHaulingPilot.html "...CDR Clarence H. Hutchison, USN (Ret.) - VC-35 VAN Team 12 "A" - USS Boxer - During WWII, I was a Signalman Second Class (SM2) undergoing Naval Aviation pilot training at Pensacola, Florida. Upon graduation in September 1942, I was designated Aviation Pilot Second Class (AP2) and received orders to the Aleutian Islands. Stopping in Dutch Harbor, I was directed to stow my seabag and Navy uniforms in the Lucky Bag and then issued long underwear and wool army clothing. From there, I proceeded to NAS Adak, Alaska and reported to the PATSU Unit. The Master-at-Arms issued me an army cot and sleeping bag and assigned me to a tent. My dreams of becoming a hot-shot pilot disappeared when he informed me that I would be assigned to the coal hauling detail. Life was primitive on NAS Adak, Alaska at this time, with personnel living in tents and using coal-burning stoves for warmth. My duties were to drop off sacks of coal at various tents each day. After about two weeks of this humiliating experience, I went to see the Officer-in-Charge of the PATSU Unit and asked him if the Navy trained me to fly airplanes so I could come out here and haul coal. He asked me my name and when I told him, he said they had been looking for me and wanted to know where I had been. I told him that I had the honor of being the only coal hauling pilot on the island and believed my talents could be best used elsewhere. He agreed and assigned me the job of correcting aeronautical charts and plotting moving submarine havens for the local patrol squadrons. In order to maintain flight proficiency, I started flying patrols with the tenant PBY squadrons searching for enemy Japanese forces attempting to re-supply their garrison on Kiska. In March of 1943, I was promoted to Aviation Pilot First Class (AP1) and assigned to VP-43 flying PBY-5A's. Pre-deployment training was conducted at Tongue Point, Oregon and NAS Whidbey Island, Washington prior to returning to the Aleutians. In October 1943, the squadron began operating from the island of Attu, conducting patrols and night bombing raids on the Japanese base at Paramushiro in the northern Kurile Islands. On January 1st 1944, I was promoted to Chief Aviation Pilot (CAP) and in March 1944 I was designated a Patrol Plane Commander (PPC) in PBY aircraft, a far cry from my coal hauling days..."

Groundwork Jax is working with the City of Jacksonville and several community partners to help redevelop, revitalize, and provide better accessibility and wayfinding for the S-Line, a 4.8-mile urban rails-to-trails multi-use path that connects several Jacksonville neighborhoods. The redeveloped S-Line would connect it to the Emerald Necklace, which links outlying areas of Jacksonville to its the urban core, spurring additional revitalization efforts.
In October 2015, the Groundworkers for the S-Line initiated monthly Ride-Alongs to raise awareness of the S-Line and engage neighborhoods along the trail.

Groundwork Jacksonville is actively planning the A. Philip Randolph Public Market, which will bring a wide range of healthy food programs, live entertainment, and youth entrepreneurial activities to Jacksonville's Eastside. This low-income neighborhood has both historical significance and an active, vibrant community desiring local improvements. It is also a food desert and well known for its high crime rate and disproportionate number of brownfields and vacant lots.
By spurring reinvestment in the Eastside, the Public Market project will help revitalize the neighborhood and introduce its rich history and culture to both long-time Jacksonville residents and visitors.
Groundwork Jacksonville is working to clean, preserve, and utilize downtown Jacksonville's parks, creeks, and green spaces by creating an Emerald Necklace — a safe, accessible network of walking and biking trails that will connect the city's outlying neighborhoods to its urban core, spurring reinvestment and revitalization.

I took delivery yesterday of two books. The first, The Indelible Image is by one of my favourite writers, Ben Witherington. It is the first volume in a two volume work on New Testament Theology and Ethics. As I teach Ethics and with my main interest lying in the New Testament, it is a book which brings together my two principal concerns. As is to be expected, Ben's book is scholarly, well-written, full of insights, and devout: the fruit of many years of research and study. I expect to not only enjoy reading it thoroughly, but to be referring to it for many years to come.
What to say about the second? It is the Deliverance of God by Douglas Campbell. At 1,218 pages, it certainly is not a light read, but it is, nevertheless, getting rave notices on the Internet. Many are claiming, including Campbell himself, that it will revolutionize our understanding of Paul's theology and change Pauline studies forever. You get the idea.
The book clearly covers a great deal of ground tackles many difficult and controversial areas and, again, represents a large amount of research. I am always worried, though, when people claim to be the first really to understand Paul or some other part of the Bible. I find that a bit difficult to believe and not a little arrogant! Campbell basically dismisses most other interpreters of Paul as simply wrong and mistaken. He alone has decoded the mystery which is Paul.
I am looking forward to reading it fully, if only to see what all the fuss is about. I have, however, read parts of it and am a bit bemused. You will know the story of the Emperor's new clothes. How a group of tailors convince everyone that they have made the Emperor a magical new set of clothes that only the wise and clever can see. Everyone pretends that they can see the clothes not wanting to appear foolish. It takes a little boy to shout out, 'The Emperor has no clothes on!' before anyone realizes the deceit.
I wonder if this book may be an academic set of Emperor's new clothes. Campbell in interpreting Romans, for example, claims that in Romans 1-4, Paul is, in fact, saying precisely the opposite to what basically everyone has ever thought that he was saying. Paul, Campbell alleges, is arguing with a 'Teacher' in Rome (although Paul never actually says this is what he is doing) with whom he disagrees and in doing so quotes his argument at length. So, for example, Romans 1:18-32 is a 'speech in person', that is, Paul is giving the Teacher's argument not his own.
Now I know that there are some things in Paul, which, as Peter puts it, are hard to understand, but if Campbell is right then Paul is not only hard to understand, but basically impossible. It would mean that for 2,000 years no-one has been reading the most important work of Christian theology in anything like the right way. If this is the case, then I would suggest that we just abandon all study of the Bible as a waste of time and get on without it.
I don't think it is the case, however. The book is clever, no doubt. Just as the tailors who made the Emperor's clothes were clever. But the joke is on us if we let ourselves be convinced by such extravagant claims.

The train station in Pawtucket, RI opened in 1916 and was closed in 1981. As it stands now, the train station shows it's 38 years of neglect in way of spray paint and vandalism. The large waiting concourse has amassed its fair share of destruction at the hands of bored teenagers.
However, if you take a close enough look, you can still see where the wooden benches lined a walkway where hundreds of people made their way quickly from the ticket counter to their trains below. I imagine that in its heyday, the Pawtucket - Central Falls train station was quite the sight.
Were it still in use, I could almost see it having the same effect as the Grand Central Station in New York. Upon entering, you are left in awe of the grandeur of the building. The vast skylights letting in the bright sunlight of a warm spring day.
The thing that was amazing to me was that a building that had been standing for 103 years, not maintained for 38, was still structurally sound. I didn't have any fear of the floor falling out from beneath me, nor was I concerned about the roof suddenly coming crashing down.
To be honest, I think the thing I was worried about more than anything, was running into someone who had taken residence in the old abandoned station and not being all that happy to see me. Overall, despite its vandalized state, The Pawtucket - Central Falls Train Station is still a remarkable sight, indeed.
