"With sufficient aerial means, one could totally cut off the arteries of a functioning army, putting it into the direst of conditions. But it is possible not only to cut off these arteries, but even strike at the heart, destroying the centres of production from which the army draws its life."
Giulio Douhet, 'La Grande Offensiva Aerea' ('The Great Aerial Offensive'), June 1917
The Air War of World War Two. One of the largest single components of the war as a whole, it absorbed at least a quarter of all US-UK military spending, accounted for a tenth of all their losses, and at the height of its effect upon German weapons production may have reduced the increase in German tank and SP-gun production in late 1944 by as much as 10% (according to the US Strategic Bombing Survey conducted in 1945). note This is where that oft-cited figure of "10%" comes from. It is not a 10% loss of tank & Self Propelled gun production, but a 10% reduction in the increase. German output of both only increased by 90% during 1944, whereas they had hoped to increase it by 100%. This production shortfall may have been the product of strategic bombing, according to the hastily-researched and fragmentary evidence thrown together by the Strategic Bombing Survey. Nor is this figure of 10% representative of the total loss caused to all German production for 1944 by strategic bombing, let alone the total effect of strategic bombing upon German weapons production in the years 1939-1944. This may seem obvious when we put it like this, but some Popular Historians have misquoted this statistic a number of misleading and frustrating ways
By late 1944 the Air War finally had a noticeable effect upon the course of the war, as some of the increase in German production was diverted to aircraft production to defend German cities from Allied bombardment and the handful of Japanese factories still functioning despite the US Navy's ever-tightening blockade were physically destroyed. While the war was utterly lost by that time, it may have reduced Soviet and Allied deaths by many thousands - if not tens of thousands - through its slight effect upon German weapons output. Regardless of its costs or actual effects on the enemy, the Air War was one of the most universally beloved, romanticised, and propagandised elements of the war for the American and particularly the British people. This makes it a key part of the Anglo-American war and their memories of it.
Theoretical Origins: World War One
Giulio Douhet was a humanitarian who abhorred the suffering of innocents in warfare. This made his conclusion that targeting civilians could be a moral and effective use of airpower quite startling. To cut a long story short, he came to believe that if doing so shortened the war and thereby prevented more and greater suffering, it could be justified.
At the heart of Douhet's work was a revulsion of the massive sacrifices and minimal gains which Italy was making in The Great War. note At the end of it all, Italy rendered half a million of its own men dead or crippled to gain an area the size of northern Ireland, or the US state of Connecticut. Most Italians blamed the Entente Cordiale for not giving them more territory, the Italian government for insisting on so many pointless offensives when the Army wasn't able to carry them out successfully, and Luigi Cadorna for being a completely incompetent field commander (albeit a good trainer) His first views on airpower were that it was a means to executing effective trench warfare. The reconnaisance value of aeroplanes was widely acknowledged, but Douhet was unusual in that he also advocated the use of aeroplanes against combat forces 'deep' within the enemy's tactical trench networks and logistical forces in the open areas behind them. In this role they would act as a sort of long-range artillery, helping the infantry to overcome tough enemy defenses beyond the depth of actual artillery pieces and preventing the enemy from reinforcing the area being attacked.
Douhet's advocacy of the 'operational' use of airpower to assist ground operations was somewhat unusual, but his musings upon the 'strategic' use of airpower were groundbreaking. Douhet believed that improvements in the technical capabilities and numbers of aircraft would eventually enable aircraft to have a decisive 'strategic' effect upon the enemy. More specifically, he hypothesized that the physical destruction and psychological shock of attacks on civilian industrial centres had the potential to seriously disrupt the enemy's means and/or will to continue replacing the losses sustained in ground operations. Most ambitiously of all, he also foresaw the possibility that airpower alone could win a war.
Douhet's ideas on the strategic potential of airpower appealed to air forces everywhere because, if it could be made a reality, it promised them independence and glory. For huddled masses yearning to be free from the tyranny of people who wanted to win wars by defeating the enemy's armies and occupying their countries, strategic bombing offered a way out. Of course, the inconvenient fact that the strategic use of airpower had only been half of Douhet's vision - the other being operational usage - was quietly ignored. This is because supporting ground operations meant helping their overlords and/or enemies score points with civilian governments and the public.
Institutional Origins, Interwar Period
For Britain's Royal Air Force (RAF), World War II was a life-or-death struggle for existence against its oldest and most bitter foes: the Royal Navy, and the British Army. The Germans were merely their opponent; but opponents came and went. The RAF's war went back to 1917, when the Royal Flying Corps secured independence from the British Army. However, the RAF was sullied and humiliated by its subordination to the British Army - which won all the credit for the battles won in 1917 and 1918. In the interwar period the RAF resolved to never let this happen again. Never again would the RAF be forced to help its enemies win their battles - and in the next war the RAF would, acting alone, win victories entirely for and by itself. One way or another, the next big war would make or break the RAF. If it managed to convince the British people and civilian government that it had done well, then it could be sure of continued independence if not expansion. If it did poorly, then its enemies might take control of it. And once the Army and Navy had done so, then they would never let their Air Forces pursue independent strategies ever again for fear that in doing so they could prove the value of their independence. One way or another, then, the next major war would be make-or-break.
For the USA's Army Air Force (USAAF) and Navy Air Force, World War Two was a war of independence against the tyranny of the US Army and US Navy. While in practice the two Air Forces had been able to pursue a semi-independent line, they were still formally under Army and Navy command and could not refuse to service their demands. For them too, for similar reasons to those of the RAF, the next war was a huge opportunity - and a risk. If they failed to win their own battles, then their already limited degree of independence could be limited still further.
Aircraft design became increasingly specialised as the interwar period went on, and as it did so the British and American Air Forces realised that they had a way of preventing their forces for being used in support of the Army and Navy. This method was two-fold:
Heavy emphasis on designing the aircraft they'd need to fight their own battles, acting alone (Heavy Bomber designs)
The benefits here were two-fold, as Heavy Bombers were more expensive machines.
Commissioning the fewest possible number of specialised aircraft designs for efficient support of the Army and Navy (Close-Air-Support/Ground-Attack and Torpedo-Bomber designs)
By and large this strategy paid off. The Anglo-American air forces successfully avoided designing or producing a single aircraft suited to helping friendly ground forces on the battlefield (CAS aircraft). On the other hand, they commissioned a great many Heavy Bomber designs. Both Air Forces also commissioned a large number of 'Tactical Bomber' aircraft which were better at independent operations than they were at supporting the Army or Navy, but could still do that. This was the work of Army- and Navy-supporters within the Air Forces, who felt that they should have at least a few aircraft capable of actually offering support to their enemies - if only because the Air Forces would be severely criticised if they did not have aircraft capable of doing so.
Although the Luftwaffe was established in 1935 as an independent institution from the Army (and Navy), it pursued cooperation with the Army rather than attempting to pursue independent strategies (i.e. Strategic Bombing). The Luftwaffe was free to do this because its institutional independence was set in stone: Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering was Hitler's friend, was an Old Nazi with good connections to the rest of the leadership, and had used his control of the Gestapo (later assigned to Himmler's SS) to acquire a personal business empire. Thanks to Goering's politicking the Luftwaffe even secured political independence in its manufacturing and armaments, a feat only rivalled by the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy (acting separately, naturally).
The Luftwaffe decided to pursue cooperation with the Army not just because they had no need maintain their political independence, but because the Great War had decisively proven that Aerial Observation and Air-Ground attack were very helpful to the Army. Great War experience had also shown that the effects of Strategic Bombing - as conducted by German Navy Zepplin raids upon Britain - would likely be negligible unless very large fleets of bomber aircraft could be produced. Given the relative paucity of Luftwaffe resources it therefore made very little sense to expend much resources in developing a Strategic Bombing fleet in the short-medium term, though some experimental prototypes were tested with a view to the long-term goal of waging war upon the USA.
The Luftwaffe's hypothesis that Air support would continue to aid ground operations was confirmed in the Spanish Civil War, where the experimental ground-attack designs of the "Condor Legion" had a surprisingly large impact against forces without sufficient air cover or Anti-Aircraft (AA) weapons. The Luftwaffe's Junkers Ju-87 "Stuka" dive-bomber, a Close Air Support (CAS) aircraft well-armed with cannons (oversized machine guns which fired armour piercing shells) and bombs, first proved its worth and fragility in this conflict. While it certainly had an armament and price tag befitting a mass-production CAS aircraft it lacked the manoeuvrability, armour, and internal layout/robustness to take much punishment from enemy AA weapons or aircraft. In any case, even if the instruments of that strategy left something to be desired, on the verge of the war's outbreak in Europe the Luftwaffe was uniquely confident that it had made sound strategic choices.

Crimes Against Humanity/War Crimes
Neither side can claim a moral high ground in the air war. The purpose of German bombings of London was specially to grind the British morale into dust, which failed. The Anglo-American air forces specially targeted German cities such as Hamburg and Dusseldorf because of their industrial capacity, helping hamper the Germans' ability for war production. However, they also launched "terror raids," firebombing cities in order to destroy German morale. A dark example of this was the firebombing of Dresden, which took place in February 1945, only a few months before the end of the war. Of course, the morale aspect often failed as the raids became as routine to civilians on both sides as the weather.

is a 2016 Japanese action comedy film directed by Takashi Miike from a screenplay by Kankuro Kudo based on the popular manga series Mogura no Uta by Noboru Takahashi. It is the sequel to the 2013 film The Mole Song: Undercover Agent Reiji and follows the story of Reiji Kikukawa after the events of that film.

Plot
Undercover investigator Reiji Kikukawa, nicknamed "The Mole", has infiltrated the Hiura gang led by Masaya Hiura, a.k.a. "Crazy Papillon", and risen to the rank of second-in-command after eliminating the members of the clan who were involved in the illegal drug trade without authorization. A disgraced yakuza member forges an alliance with the Dragon Skulls, a Chinese gang, to take on the Sukiya-kai clan that is in control of the Kanto Region. Shuho Todoroki, head of the Sukiya-kai, becomes a target and his daughter Karen is kidnapped to be sold at a beauty auction in Hong Kong. Reiji once again tries to do the right thing while remaining undercover as he becomes entangled in a massive international conspiracy. Meanwhile, elite police officer Shinya Kabuto moves to arrest Reiji.

It had its North American premiere at the 16th New York Asian Film Festival at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, July 14, 2017. By the first screenings, the film had ranked #5 at the Japanese Box Office, and earned ¥223 million (US$1.804 million).

Reception
The film received generally positive reviews. Mark Schilling of The Japan Times wrote that Toma Ikuta is "a versatile actor" who plays "a goofy undercover-cop-cum-gangster". In a separate review of the film he wrote that The Mole Song: Hong Kong Capriccio is one of Takashi Miike's better films, noting that "Ikuta gives himself up totally to the idiocy of being Reiji, from his incurable awkwardness with women to his knack for stupidly getting himself into perilous situations." Maggie Lee of Variety wrote, "Despite the ragtag characters, sudden twists, and dizzying collage-like animated sequences, Kudo's literate screenplay and Kenji Yamashita's brisk editing manage to steer the main plot on course, making this one of the easiest-to-follow outings by Miike."

Home video
The film was released on Blu-ray & DVD on June 14, 2017.

Julius Stern, född den 8 augusti 1820 i Breslau, död den 27 februari 1883 i Berlin, var en tysk musiker.

Stern studerade i Berlin, Dresden och Paris, stiftade 1847 i Berlin Sternska sångföreningen, som han anförde ända till 1874 och som blev en av de bäst ansedda körerna i Tyskland (den upplöstes 1912). År 1850 öppnade han i Berlin tillsammans med Theodor Kullak och A.B. Marx ett musikkonservatorium (senare kallat Sternska konservatoriet). Sedan Kullak och Marx avgått, ledde Stern ensam från 1856 konservatoriet, som med utmärkta lärarkrafter nådde stor blomstring. Han dirigerade tidtals även symfonikonserter och fick 1860 professors titel.

Although the Alpha Institute offers a range of training options to its students, including landscape and barber programmes, it is especially famed for music. So it is natural that the South Camp Road institution will celebrate its 137th anniversary with a dance, which takes place at the Spanish Court Hotel, New Kingston, on Friday, June 2.
While any event involving Jamaican popular music has a virtually endless repertoire to choose from, with its outstanding graduates, Alpha is able to present finely focused selections that draw on its storied history. There will be a band and a sound system at the event, and the former will present songs with an Alpha connection.
Dr Joshua Chamberlain, general manager, Alpha Boys School Radio, told The Gleaner that it will not be a band of current students, but graduates, as "this is about showcasing what Alpha students can do after they leave Alpha". They are going to play songs that have an Alpha connection, including tracks by Johnny Osbourne, Yellowman, Don Drummond and Leroy Smart.
Performing live will be Ken Boothe, who, though not an Alpha graduate, has extensive experience working with musicians who were trained there.
DJ Welton Irtie, playing recorded music, is another connection, this time to Rae Town Old Hits, where Klassique is the resident sound system. Chamberlain pointed out that there is another connection, a physical one, as the Rae Town Sunday session is now held at Sabina Park.
There will be an additional Rae Town presence in a number of personalities from Rae Town, for the dance at the Spanish Court Hotel .
As a fundraising event, the dance is already off to a good start, as there are companies that have bought tickets in bulk for their team members to attend. And Chamberlain emphasises that the end is expected to live up to its name.
"It is an opportunity for people to get involved and be a part of Alpha's development ... . The dance floor will be warm and inviting," he said.

Keith Khoza
JOHANNESBURG - The ANC on Tuesday sent birthday wishes to former president Thabo Mbeki, praising the role he has played for the organisation.
Mbeki turns 71 today.
He was recalled as president by the ANC in 2008.
ANC spokesperson Keith Khoza said, "He has done a lot for this country. He played a role during the struggle and as president of the country, he led the country effectively."
President Jacob Zuma also wished Mbeki well.
"We would like to wish former president Mbeki good health and many happy returns," Zuma said in a statement.


March 2017: The Project is in the preliminary design phase. The public meeting was held and staff is addressing the public comments. In addition coordination with the adjacent properties and CSX is underway.
The Gulch-SoBro Pedestrian Bridge project originated from a recommendation in the South of Broadway (SoBro) Master plan.
The SoBro Master plan formed a vision for the neighborhoods south of Broadway to lead the region in urban life by providing working, living, shopping, recreational, and entertainment opportunities in an attractive, inviting, and compact setting.
The plan called for a series of strategic initiatives and put forth recommendations that would seek to enhance the pedestrian experience downtown as part of revitalization efforts. Recommendations include creation of new parks, open space and trails, continuing complete street initiatives, and connecting the SoBro neighborhood to the Gulch.
SoBro Master Plan findings were that few east/west and north/south pedestrian connections exist, especially between the Gulch and SoBro. The recommendation was made for a better connection to be made from the SoBro area to the Gulch through a pedestrian bridge.
The Gulch-SoBro Pedestrian Bridge project is in the design and planning stage to address that recommendation. The project is a 600-700 foot long bridge with the primary span over the CSX Railroad in the 300-400 foot range.
People are dissuaded from walking or bicycling when the route is long and out of the way. Existing routes between the Gulch and SoBro require backtracking and add a mile to a round trip walk or bike.
The existing routes have heavy and fast vehicular traffic, which further discourage walking and biking.
The addition of this bridge makes walking and biking both more convenient and more enjoyable, improving everyone's transportation options downtown.
The focus on good design and landscaping will ensure the best return on the investment while also creating an icon for Nashville. This design focus will make the bridge itself a destination for locals and tourists.
The project continues to move forward finalizing the process of acquiring easements/right-of-way and as well as continuing to finalize design work.
Persons with a disability, who require aids or services to participate at the meeting, may contact Rick Kirkpatrick ADA Compliance Coordinator via phone 615-862-8635, TTY 615-862-6747 or in writing at: Department of Public Works, 720 South Fifth Street, Nashville, TN 37210.
Led by Metro Public Works Engineering Division, project team members include Parsons Brinckerhoff and Bell and Associates Construction. For additional information about the project, contact Mark Macy, Metro Public Works Project Engineer at 615-345-6549 or mark.macy@nashville.gov.

Q: Change datatable (from AS400) column format I'm having this issue:
Our AS400 keeps dates as Decimal in format yyyyMMdd but when
I need them in our software they should be DateTime in format ddMMyyy
How do I best go about getting the right format and type?
I looked at IBM website for setting the Format at connection...
But it seems you need to have your date in a DateTime type of column to start with to be able
to set a format.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=%2Frzaik%2Frzaikconnstrkeywordsformatprop.htm
I also tried cloning the datatable and setting the appropriate columns to the correct datatype but then I need to loop all rows and each cell to convert which is next to
impossible to do on large queries.
Can anybody help me out?
This is the code I used to change the datefields doing the query:
' convert date for selects
        If type = Operation.SelectMultipleRows Or type = Operation.SelectSingleValue Then

            For Each s As String In _datefields
                sql = sql.Replace(s, "REPLACE(CHAR(DATE(SUBSTR(CHAR(" & s & "), 1, 4) ||'-'|| SUBSTR(CHAR(" & s & "), 5, 2) ||'-'|| SUBSTR(CHAR(" & s & "), 7, 2)),EUR),'.','/') as " & s)
            Next

        End If

The above only works if requested fields are given in select query. If you use * then it simply does not work.
In iSeries AS400 you can get a list of all the column names if you know the tablename but I can't rely on it because the query passed could contain joins, ....
Example:
SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM QSYS2/COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'MYTABLE'

A: Request a reformatted date in your field selections:
date(substr(datefield,1,4) || '-' || substr(datefield,5,2)|| '-' || substr(datefield,7,2)) as datefield

A: There is an actual date data type available on DB2 for IBM i.  There are some older databases which still use a decimal number rather than a date data type, which is the situation you have.
If the IBM admin will let you load software onto the i, try Alan Campin's iDate service program.  It will give you a set of user defined functions that will perform decimal to date conversions so that you can use fairly simple SQL statements to manipulate these numeric data types.
If you can't load software onto the IBM side, you will be forced to do the conversions yourself through some ugly variant of:
date(
     substr(char(numericDate),1,4) concat
     '-' concat
     substr (char(numericDate),5,2) concat
     '-' concat
     substr(char(numericDate),7,2)
  )

This contortion is needed because the DATE() function requires a character field in ISO format.

A: If you can't download or use the SQL functions mentioned in @Buck's answer, or , I recommend that you (or someone) create an SQL User Defined Function in the database.
Make it a DETERMINISTIC function, which means that the results will the same whenever the input to the function is the same.  This allows DB2 to cache the results, which will give you better performance, since it won't have to repeat the calculation each and every time it sees the same value again.
Perhaps something along the lines of this:
CREATE FUNCTION YMD2DATE (ymd dec(8,0) )
                        returns  date
       SPECIFIC YMD2DATE_dec8
       LANGUAGE SQL
       CONTAINS SQL
       DETERMINISTIC
       NO EXTERNAL ACTION
       RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
       NOT FENCED
       SET OPTION DBGVIEW = *SOURCE
prc:       BEGIN NOT ATOMIC  -- not atomic means dont rollback on error
             DECLARE ans    date    default '0001-01-01';
             SET     ans = date( insert(insert( trim(digits(ymd)) ,7,1,'-'),5,1,'-'))  );
             RETURN  ans;
           END prc

The cesium deception: Why the mainstream media is mostly reporting iodine levels, not radioactive cesium
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com (See all articles...)
Tags: radioactive, cesium, health news
(NaturalNews) Virtually all the numbers you're seeing about the radioactivity coming out of Fukushima are based on iodine-131 which only has a half-life of 8 days, not the far more dangerous cesium-137 which has a half-life of 30 years. So while the mainstream media reports that "radiation levels are falling rapidly" from the 7.5 million times reading taken a few days ago, what they're not telling you is that the cesium-137 radioactivity will take 30 years just to fall by 50 percent.
It's the great global cover-up in all this: What happens to all the radioactive cesium being dumped into the ocean right now? It doesn't just burn itself out in a few months like iodine-131. This stuff sticks around for centuries.
As part of the cover story, the FDA now says it will test "all imported food products coming from Japan" (http://ecocentric.blogs.time.com/2011/04/05/...). This claim is, of course, ridiculous on its face. Even without this Fukushima emergency in the works, the FDA only tests a tiny fraction of all the food imported into the USA. This agency has no existing infrastructure under which it could test ALL the food being imported from Japan. The very idea is ludicrous.
As this ABC News story reveals, the FDA says it's "really stretched" just to inspect a mere two percent of imported food: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/radiation-japan...
The FDA likes radiation!
Even if the FDA could magically test all the food being imported from Japan, what allowable level of radiation would the FDA claim was "safe" in those foods anyway? Remember, this is the agency that has long supported the mass irradiation of the U.S. food supply as a way to kill e.coli and salmonella.
For all we know, FDA bureaucrats equate radiation with safety and might actually declare radioactive seafood from Japan to be safer than non-radioactive food because, they would say, the radiation "kills salmonella."
Why eating radioactive food is FAR more dangerous than nuclear fallout
The other element in all this that's hardly being reported in the press is that when you eat radioactive food, the threat to your health increases exponentially. That's because internal radiation is far more deadly to your body than external radiation. It all comes down to the law of the inverse square of the distance between you and the radiation source.
A speck of radioactive dust that's one meter away from you, for example, is twice as dangerous as that same speck four meters away. But if you eat that radioactive speck (because it's part of a fish you're consuming, for example), then suddenly it's inside your body. So now it might only be a millimeter away from your internal tissues, meaning you've decreased the distance between you and the radiation source by one thousand times. Because if the law of the inverse square of the distance, you have now magnified the radiation intensity by one million times (because one million is the square of one thousand).
So a speck of radiation that might have been a "low level" if it were floating around in the air around you can suddenly become fatal if you consume it. And that's what people are now facing with Japan's seafood. Yet everybody is being told that it's all perfectly safe, no problem, no worried, don't even think about it.
Where does the radiation go in your body?
We're all being lied to about the "safety" of radioactive food, you see. And there's more to it than what has been discussed here, actually: If a fish takes in radioactive cesium and it gets distributed throughout the body of that fish in the way that potassium would normally get distributed (because cesium follows nearly the same biological pathways as potassium), then the radioactive cesium has become part of the fish flesh.
When you eat that fish, your body breaks down the fish tissues, then reabsorbs the cesium into your own body, distributing the cesium into your own muscle tissues where potassium would normally go. You are what you eat, after all. And if you eat radioactive cesium, then you quickly become a walking radioactive dirty bomb from the inside.
If it's invisible, it must be safe
They don't tell you that on CNN, folks. I'm willing to bet their "info babe" news models don't even have a clue about the laws of physics in the first place. So while they're all telling you that eating irradiated seafood from Japan is perfectly safe, the truth is that it could very well be quite deadly if you're eating fish that contain high levels of cesium.
So you might wonder, then, are fish being detected with cesium in their tissues? You bet they are! You'll find the details in these news stories: http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/connectasia... and http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/business/news...
The extremely high levels of radiation even have the local fishermen freaked out. "I can't go out to fish because of the radiation," one Japanese fisherman told ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/radiation-japan...).
But don't worry, we're told. It's all safe to eat. The FDA is in charge, after all.
And remember what governments always say about radiation and chemicals: If it's invisible, it MUST be safe!

The Governance of Forests Initiative (GFI) project at the World Resources Institute has an opening for a Project Manager position.
The Governance of Forests Initiative (GFI) is a project housed in WRI's Institutions and Governance Program (IGP). However, as a cross topic project (forests, governance, and climate) we work closely with our colleagues both in other projects in IGP and across the institute, including in the People and Ecosystems Program and in the Climate and Energy Program.
International Strategy: GFI seeks to influence international policy processes and financial flows in order to generate increased demand and support for good governance of forests at the global level. Key influence targets include the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); the World Bank's Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) and Forest Investment Program (FIP); the UN Collaborative Programme on REDD (UN-REDD); and the currently diffuse network of international practitioners and experts working on issues relating to forest governance.
Country Strategy: GFI seeks to empower civil society in forest-rich countries to carry out evidence-based research and advocacy for needed governance reforms at the national and subnational level. The project is currently supporting civil society partners in Brazil, Indonesia, and Cameroon. Additional countries may be considered in the future.
The analytical foundation of both strategies is the GFI Framework of Indicators (GFI-FI), which provides a generic methodology for assessing and monitoring forest governance on the ground.


John Deere is once again supporting Open Farm Sunday as the machinery sponsor for this year's event, which takes place on June 5th, 2016.
Since its launch in 2006, Open Farm Sunday has seen over 1.6 million people visit a farm and learn about the vital work farmers do. LEAF is estimating that 400 farms will open this year and between them, will welcome over a quarter of a million visitors. In the last three years, more than 80 per cent of visitors reported learning something new about farming, and one in five visitors had not visited a farm before.
A series of Open Farm School Days will also run throughout June. They provide thousands of school children with the opportunity to visit a farm to learn more about where their food comes from and how it is produced. More information about Open Farm School Days can be found at www.farmsunday.org.
Via the newly refreshed website, LEAF provides lots of features and resources to help host farmers put on a safe, engaging and enjoyable event and help inspire their visitors about all aspects of farming. John Deere contributes to this by producing 35,000 information leaflets for visitors to take home, with content for both adults and children, highlighting the latest John Deere technology and featuring some useful industry facts.
Further details of the event are available on the Open Farm Sunday website or you can follow @OpenFarmSunday on Twitter (#OFS16) or on Facebook at LEAFopenfarmsunday, while several new promotional videos are also available to view on YouTube.

Twelve South is one of the more popular accessory makers for Apple products, and now the company has introduced new cases for two of Apple's tablets.
Twelve South has recently launched new BookBook cases for the iPad Air 2 and the iPad mini 4. These new cases follow the same design aesthetic as the previous BookBook cases for other Apple products. That means you'll get a full case for the iPad Air 2 and mini 4 which resembles an old-fashioned leather-bound book. The case can also function as a stand, with positions for better typing or better viewing.
On top of that, Twelve South is also teasing a new BookBook case for the iPad Pro. That case will feature a stand as well, but a position perfect for sketching. It will also include a specific pocket designed to fit the Apple Pencil. Unfortunately for iPad Pro owners interested in this BookBook case, Twelve South doesn't have an official launch date just yet. It is scheduled to arrive in the spring, though, so the wait shouldn't be too long.
The iPad Air 2 BookBook is priced at $79.99, and it's available now in the Vintage Brown color. The iPad mini 4 BookBook is priced at $69.99, and it's also available in the Vintage Brown shade. You can find both through the link below.

The Raging Bull dominates Southwest Territory as a fan favorite. This coaster makes up for its lack of loops with high, steep drops and plenty of thrills throughout.
Six Flags Great America, located in Gurnee, Ill, has one of the best and most complete roller coaster collections in the United States. After being a superfan since 2013, I have grown to love the park and it has spurred me to visit other theme parks across the country. Great America boasts 16 roller coasters of varying intensities and sizes. Some rides rank better than others and offer a better experience. Rankings will be based on overall atmosphere, ride experience, and ride theme. Here is my ranking of every Six Flags Great America roller coaster, from worst to best!
Note: Mardi Gras Hangover is considered a roller coaster by the park itself, however various organizations such as the Roller Coaster Database (RCDB) and American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE) disagree. Thus, it will not be considered on this list. American Eagle has two separate tracks so it will be considered 2 coasters. The ride experience is similar on both sides, so the rating will be pooled together.
NUMBER 16: SPROCKET ROCKETS
The Sprocket Rockets kids' roller coaster is too short to enjoy. The twists and turns of the ride are underwhelming. After the ride was stripped of its original name, it doesn't really hold the same novelty as before. The ride's station could use a lot of love. However despite the ride's shortcomings, it still is a great ride for roller coaster enthusiasts in training.
NUMBER 15: DEMON
The Demon is a 100 foot tall steel looping coaster and is one of the most iconic rides in the park. The ride even has its own ominous theme song played at the ride's station. The ride today though… is less than perfect. The over-the-shoulder restraints are very uncomfortable, especially for taller riders like me. The roughness of the ride is also very prominent and ruins the ride experience. Don't expect the ride to go anywhere though, as it has its fans and holds a special place in the park's history.
NUMBER 14: THE DARK KNIGHT COASTER
The Dark Knight Coaster is the only indoor coaster in the park. Guests walk through the Gotham City Subway to board the ride and experience the siege of the subway by none other than the Joker. The ride really is well themed and has some cool elements to immerse the riders. Thankfully, the theme makes up for the jerky ride experience. Cars traverse 180 degree turns that whip you around in your seat. It really isn't one of the greatest rides in the park. Still, I recommend riding it because it is one of the most unique rides at Six Flags.
NUMBER 13: LITTLE DIPPER
Little Dipper is the oldest ride in the park, dating back to the 1950's when it opened at Kiddieland in Melrose Park, Illinois. After the closure of Kiddieland, the ride was auctioned off to park president Hank Salemi. The ride was relocated to Great America and is "keeping the history alive" to this day. This is the first wooden coaster on this list and truly is a great ride. As the name suggests, it is a kiddie coaster, but still is enjoyable for all. Little Dipper offers great airtime for such a small coaster.
NUMBER 12: VERTICAL VELOCITY (V2)
Vertical Velocity, or commonly known as V2, is a steel launch coaster which opened in 2001 as a result of the 2000's coaster wars. The park even added the now-defunct Deja Vu roller coaster in the same year. The ride experience is super intense, with it gaining speed each time it goes up the spikes. The ride really doesn't carry a unique theme, but that will change for the 2022 season when the ride will be re-themed to the DC Comics superhero – the Flash. It will fit in with the nearby Joker and Batman.
NUMBER 11: VIPER
The Viper is a fun-filled wooden coaster themed to the snake itself. The ride is a mirror image of the classic Coney Island Cyclone. The ride by far has the best station and is themed to snakes taking over an oil refinery. The ride is enjoyable and the drop gets your heart pounding as it slowly crests the hill. I highly recommend riding in the back row as the drop seems larger. The airtime on the ride is extreme and probably gives the most airtime behind American Eagle and Raging Bull. Since the ride is wooden, a slight roughness is to be expected.
NUMBER 10: THE JOKER FREE-FLY COASTER
The Joker – themed to the DC Comics Villain – is another interesting ride at the park. The ride is steel and traverses two, beyond 90 degree drops while the seats can "free-fly" 360 degrees at the same time. The ride is quick, but super crazy. I really like the Joker because each ride experience is unique due to the seats moving on their own. But, you can bang your head on the headrest due to abrupt flips.
NUMBER 9-8: AMERICAN EAGLE
American Eagle was built as the tallest and longest racing wooden coaster in the world, and it still holds those records to this day according to RCDB. This ride is another true classic for the park. The ride is fast and offers some amazing hard pops of airtime. It is super fun in the back row as the airtime is even more extreme. The ride is 40 years old now and has long past its prime, but it is still so much fun. The ride really isn't that rough except for the large helix seen by cars on interstate 94. It vibrates more than it is rough.
NUMBER 7: WHIZZER
Whizzer holds a special place in my heart, as it was my first roller coaster when I visited the park in 2013. The ride is only one of two remaining electric spiral lift coasters in the world. Even the seats are unique as you sit "toboggan style." For a family coaster, it packs a punch and the helixes are very forceful. The atmosphere really makes this ride. There is just something super cool about rushing through the trees, especially at night. Even though the ride is 45 years old, it still is very smooth.
NUMBER 6: BATMAN: THE RIDE
Batman was the first roller coaster in the world to have the car "under the track" with riders having their legs exposed. The idea was created by the park president at the time, Jim Wintrode. Wintrode pitched the idea to manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard, thus creating Batman: The Ride (themed to the DC comics superhero), opening in 1992. The ride is fast and intense. The train moves through five inversions including corkscrews and vertical loops. I really like how the ride packs a punch in such a quick time.
NUMBER 5: X-FLIGHT
X-Flight is another great offering from Bolliger & Mabillard. The ride is a "wing coaster" meaning the seats hang off the side of the track, creating nothing above or below you. The ride has some great inversions and delivers a cool, military-esc aviation theme. Even a soundtrack is played on the lift hill to get riders excited. The "near-misses" are the ride's greatest features. The train slips through a control tower that is too close for comfort.
NUMBER 4: SUPERMAN ULTIMATE FLIGHT
Superman – themed to the DC Comics superhero – is a true fan-favorite at the park. It usually has the longest line at the park so if you arrive when the park opens, make sure to ride this first. The ride is unique because the trains move from a sitting position to a "flying position" (face down) in the station before starting the ride. Thus, you are now flying as Superman himself! The best element of the ride is directly after the drop. It leads you into a "pretzel loop" in which the track is shaped so you complete a full pretzel shape. The element is indescribable, so ride it yourself to find out!
NUMBER 3: MAXX FORCE
Maxx Force is the newest roller coaster in the park which opened in 2019. It is an "air launch coaster" which means the train is powered by compressed air blown at very high speeds. At the launch, riders are thrusted at 86 mph, accelerating to that speed in just under 2 seconds. That's Faster than most sports cars! The launch is by far the best part of the ride, and it is mind boggling how fast your surroundings move. You traverse through the rest of the ride very quickly, zooming through 5 inversions. The ride's only crime is how short it is.
NUMBER 2: GOLIATH
Goliath is probably the most intense wooden coaster in the world. It can achieve this because it has steel "topper track" designed by the ride's manufacturer. This allows the train to cover steeper elements and even inversions, usually not found on wooden coasters. It delivers a bit of everything, from forcefulness, to airtime while being just a wooden coaster. I am impressed with how the park was able to fit this giant sitting on the plot of land that it does. It truly is a masterpiece.
NUMBER 1: RAGING BULL
And now my favorite coaster in all of the park…. Raging Bull! It is a steel hyper coaster only focusing on airtime and tight twists. Raging Bull delivers everything a coaster can deliver. The ride has a very cool western theme paired with an awesome ride experience. The ride literally hauls in the back row through all of the initial drop, airtime hills and tight turns. Oh, did I mention that drop! It is the tallest in the park at 208 feet. The icing on the cake is that the ride is super long, clocking in at a whopping 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The quality of ride for your wait time is top notch compared to the other rides in the park. Don't miss this!

The plan is being written by volunteers commissioned by Wivenhoe Town Council under the direction of a Steering Group & organised into Working Groups which change as needed. All meetings are open to the public and new members are welcome.
The Steering Group meets on the first Wednesday of each month, 7.30 pm in the Council Chamber of the Wivenhoe Town Council offices, 77 High Street.
Consider the potential for community benefits from changing land use designation.
Pull together the various contributions to the plan, check for coherence and adherence with Neighbourhood Planning regulations. This group is not the originator of the WNP's contents, but acts to collate and co-ordinate the plan's compilation.
Maintain a strategic overview of the process, monitoring to ensuring that it is completed on time. The planning group comprises as a minimum one member of each working group, as well as the Steering Group. The planning group meets quarterly to review progress and assess risks to the progress of the plan.
Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the work of one of these Working Groups is welcome to contact the Steering Group using the contact form below.
The groups' initial task was to help form the Vision for Wivenhoe. This is one of the requirements of the neighbourhood plan. The working groups' work resulted in proposals to the steering group from which the Vision statement could be prepared. Their proposals also formed the basis for the November 2014 public consultation.
Heritage and Townscape including: History, development, character, conservation and preservation needs.
Residential development and land use including: Housing generally, Green Areas within Development, Types of Building, Locations, Ownership/Renting options.
The Working Groups finished work on these eight categories in December 2014 and were re-configured for the next phase of the work, co-creating a draft Plan.


I assign the printer a big job, the cartridge ran out of ran out of ink. after replacing cartridge, the printer keep starting at the beginning. So,how do I reset it?
After replacing the cartridge the printer detects the new cartridges and prints the ink head alignment page automatically .you have to place the printed side of the ink head alignment page on the scanner and press the scan button to reset the printer.the scan button will blink for 5 -to 10 times then will stop blinking and printer will detect the new cartridge and ready to print.
also see if you have previous pending print jobs left in the print queue .if yes.then delete all the pending jobs and restart the printer.this will reset your printer.
1. Make sure that the printer is on. The power light should be on, but not flashing.
2. Lower the output tray, then open the printer cover.
3. Press the ink button. The print head moves to the ink cartridge replacement position, the power light begins to flash, and the ink out light corresponding to the ink cartridge that needs to be replaced begins to flash or remains on.
4. Open the cartridge cover. Pinch the sides of the ink cartridge that you want to replace. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it properly. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.
5.Remove the new ink cartridge from its protective bag. Place the ink cartridge vertically into the cartridge holder. Then, push the ink cartridge down until it clicks into place. Do not apply excessive force to the cartridge.
6. When you are finished replacing the cartridge, close the cartridge cover and the printer cover.
7. Press the ink button. The printer moves the print head and begins charging the ink delivery system. The ink lights start flashing. This process takes about one minute to complete. When the ink charging process is finished, the printer returns the print head to its home position. The power light will stop flashing and remain on, and the ink out light will turn off. The power light will continue to flash while the printer is charging ink. Never turn off the printer while this light is flashing.
I suggest you install new Genuine Ink Cartridges turn off wait 15 minutes and turn back on. Clear what you have in que, and begin the print job again.
In Purchasing Epson's CX 5400, CX4600, & CX7400 and more, I found out that Epson does not like Generic Printer Cartridges. That sounds like your problem. Also in Purchasing the Brother's . Color that should be Yellow, will turn out Green, etc. These printers have a chip, that will detect if it is Generic or Genunie. When Generic Cartridges, it will print lines thru the words, stripes across the picture and also do a mix match with the colors.
So I learned, thru trial and error, that you must use the ORIGINAL Genuine Cartridges for the PRINTERS. I had to replace the printer, but Epson, Lexmark & Brothers but they're always on sale. My Brother & Epson cost me $50.00 with Rebate. Don't waste too much ink in cleaning it.
Check color ink always blinks and does not allow to do any job.
Make sure that you installed the correct ink. It is not enough for it to fit, the numbers on the cartridge have to match those on the cartridges you replaced. You may also have problems with off brand ink that claims to work. Use Kodak ink. Also, many of the Kodak have the ink jet nozzle on the printer, not the cartridge.You can try cleaning in and around the cartridge casing, especially on the copper areas, with an alcohol swab. Then run the cleaning utility on the printer 2 or 3 times.
Wait while the function cleans the cartridge. The carriage that holds the cartridge will move during the cleaning.
Start the second level of cleaning.Click your "OK" button.
usually the problem occurs when the ink is running low and a big print job is being done. by then, the printer runs out of ink and starts sucking air into the tubes. If several cleanings dont help, try leaving it off for a couple days, turn it back on, try another cleaning and see what happens. if it still does not work, most likely the printhead will need to be cleaned which will cost about $40 - $65 if cartridges are need too.
If you are you using generic ink, that can cause the problem too.
Introduction This describes how to check the estimated ink level in the cartridge. NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When an indicator shows low ink levels, keep a replacement ink cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. Ink cartridges do not need to be replaced until print quality becomes unacceptable. Checking ink levels Perform the following steps to check the estimated ink levels: NOTE: If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured print cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator will be inaccurate or unavailable.
Click Start and select HP Solution Center . Select the Settings menu, then the Print Settings submenu, and finally the Printer Toolbox .
In your printing application, click File , click Print , and click Properties . Click the Services tab, then the Service This Device icon.
Not printing after color cartridge ran out - new black cartridge installed.
Yes, this printer has fixed printheads and must have ink in each color to prevent damage to the printheads. Even when printing black only each color is spit in the servicing area to keep the printhead unclogged.
The print heads don't appreciate being out of ink so the Brother printer has sensors to prevent that but the tape defeated that prevention. Maybe more cleanings or maybe a cartridge with printhead cleaning solution will help. Otherwise, I fear a new printer.

Home College American Athletic Conference Former Bucs QB Trent Dilfer is the leading candidate to become UAB...
Former Bucs QB Trent Dilfer is the leading candidate to become UAB coach
Former Tampa Bucs and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Trent Dilfer, who has been coaching a high school team in Tennessee for the last four years, is the leading candidate to become the new coach at UAB, a person with knowledge of the search told The Associated Press on Tuesday night.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because UAB was not making details of its search public.
Dilfer, who led the Baltimore Ravens to a Super Bowl championship in 2000, has been the head coach at Lipscomb Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, since 2019. He has guided the school to three state championship games, including one scheduled for Thursday against Christ Presbyterian Academy.
He has no previous college coaching experience.
A text message to Dilfer was not immediately returned.
Football Scoop first reported UAB was targeting Dilfer.
A former first-round draft pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1994, Dilfer played 14 NFL seasons. After retiring in 2008, he went in broadcasting, working for ESPN as an NFL analyst until 2017.ADVERTISEMENT
At the same time, Dilfer became involved in the Elite 11 quarterback camp for the top high schools prospects in the country.
He moved into high school coaching at Lipscomb Academy, a private Christian school in the suburbs of Nashville. The team is 12-0 this season.
Early in the 2021 season, Dilfer issued a public apology after a video on social media showed him pushing and shouting at one of his players. The player was the son of a former NFL teammate of Dilfer's, kicker Phil Dawson.
UAB is trying to fill an opening created when Bill Clark stepped down in August, citing back issues.
Offensive coordinator Bryant Vincent was named interim coach and led the Blazers to a 6-6 record this season.

Ed, as you may know I work at a raptor rehab center. We had over 60 Great Horned Owls last summer. I'm going to make a guess that's what they are. The chicks remind me of little gremlins. How awesome!
I would also say Great Horned owl from the description and photos. How cool to have that experience!
So jealous! But happy for you having this encounter!
I agree with Nell that it's a Great Horned owl. I banded one of those amazing and powerful birds at our Rapter Rehab. You are so lucky to have a nest in your yard!
I enlarged one of the photos that had the adult and to me it looks like a great horned owl too. Such a great area you live in. Can't wait to see the pics you get from the shed.
Wow, how exciting!! I'm going to try hard to get images with a real camera!
I understand your excitement. I have been watching a pair of Great Horned owl for the last seven years.
Do yours return to the same nest every year??


Fast-forward 121 years later, the concept of brunch in NYC has been elevated to not only a staple of New York City culture, but also a symbol of status. No wonder everyone wants to get in on the fun. It is meal of decadence, whimsy, scandal, and a whole mixture of things that don't seem to go together, but taste just right. Whether you're recovering from a night out with friends, introducing your new boyfriend to your parents, or celebrating your grandmother's best friend's daughter's birthday, brunch is the perfect occasion to sleep in late, bask in the sunlight of a new day, and ignore any responsibilities, all in the name of breakfast food.
With a push for innovation from social media foodie culture, New York restaurants are constantly evolving their brunch repertoire to incorporate much more than bacon and eggs. Because there's always something for everyone on the menu, brunch is the perfect meal to share with your vegan coworker, your paleo pal, your gluten-free girlfriend, that one friend who wants to buy a bottle of champagne for the table because they can, that one friend who never has more than twenty-one dollars in their checking account, and just about anyone else you can think of!
Westville has not one but six downtown locations, so if the Chelsea spot is full you can always take a stroll down to the one in West Village. But don't mistake this for some run-of-the-mill restaurant chain, each Westville is cozy and personal with ingredients so fresh you feel like you're at a New England farmer's market.
In fact, the menu features a 'Westville Market' where you can order any of their fresh, in-house produce as a side. From artichokes with parmesan to zucchini with mozzarella, they have the entire alphabet of vegetables at your fingertips.
Is this starting to sound almost too healthy? Don't worry, your vegetarian sister can munch on homemade granola or poached eggs over kale salad, while you enjoy a burger and baked challah bread french toast. This is the kind of unpretentious place where you can take just about anyone. Regardless of the amount of calories in your order, you can guarantee quality, local ingredients and a taste that rocks your weekend without rocking your budget.
I'm not saying you have to order the Chicken & Waffles, but you have to order the Chicken & Waffles.
That being said, Sweet Chick of central Williamsburg and the Lower East Side is an absolute must for a neighborhood atmosphere with five-star taste. For Southerners who are missing home and Northerners who want to find out what Southern comfort is all about, the menu is brimming with classic Southern dishes, from shrimp and grits to biscuits and gravy. For the crispiest fried chicken, the fluffiest buttermilk pancakes, and the creamiest mac and cheese, Sweet Chick is your new best friend that you'll want to bring all your best friends to.
The restaurant is rustic and lively, featuring a bar with a variety of local beer on tap, a unique cocktail list, and a Bloody Mary with bacon that you have to order because, well, brunch. Bonus: NYC-bred rapper Nas is a major investor in Sweet Chick, and he loves the ricotta pancakes.
Is your birthday coming up? Do you have to invite the entire 22-person group chat to brunch? Are you stressed trying to find a reservation for a place that won't charge everyone a prix-fixe? Poco of Alphabet City is here to help!
The menu features a combination American brunch classics and spicy Latin dishes. Poco is so accustomed to large party crowds that they have even devised a comforting dish for the-morning-after called "The Cure," featuring crispy tortillas with salsa verde, queso blanco, topped with two scrambled eggs. If you want to order that alongside unlimited mimosas, Bloody Marys, and sangria, you only need about thirty dollars - and the servers at Poco are very generous with their beverage portions. With friendly wait staff and fun 90s music blasting in the background, your Friday night party can continue on into Saturday morning with ease.
The inside of The Dutch is just as alluring as the sunny streets of SoHo that surround it. With big, bright windows, an elegant, fully stocked bar, and an attentive wait staff, this upscale American dining hub will bring an element of luxury to your morning meal. This spot is just romantic enough for a date, just classy enough to bring your family to, and just casual enough that you can still let loose and relax after a hectic Saturday night.
The food is on the pricier side, but the quality is worth it. Savory food dominates the menu, featuring fresh oysters that are to-die-for and perfectly poached eggs with Canadian ham and chipotle hollandaise in your own mini crockpot. To please your sweet tooth, you can enjoy freshly baked donuts, with flavors like matcha and sticky bun, off of a tree! There's also a great selection of caffeine, two insane Bloody Mary variations, and two fresh-pressed juice blends -- if you're looking to cleanse your body and soul.
The Dutch, while remaining simplistic, has a keen attention to detail in its decor, its service, and of course, its unparalleled food.

As I am flying back to Ethiopia from a 5 days trip in Eritrea, I could not help but feel an immense amount of gratitude. Stories of loss, endurance, love, search for freedom and above all the hope for peace after 20 years of war between Ethiopia and Eritrea where pouring out of the people we met in the city of Asmara and Massawa.
When I growing up, we often had family visitors from Eritrea and my sister was fortunate enough to visit the country before the war. I remember how my aunt and grandfather felt when they were expelled from the home they lived in for 40 years and forced to move to Addis Ababa. Soon after, my grandfather felt weak and left this earth wishing he were back in his house in Mendefera (1-hour drive from Asmara) surrounded by the people he knew and cared for. He sighed, " I would like to be buried in my church in Mendefera"; an ask we never had the chance to fulfill until now.
When Eritrea gained independence in 1993, the relationship between the two countries deteriorated into a 2-year war followed by 18 years of 'no peace-no war' stalemate. Under a new leadership, Ethiopia finally accepted the Algiers agreement, which led to the immediate restoration of relationship between Ethiopia and Eritrea. While we Ethiopians rejoiced on the idea of visiting our neighboring country and indulging ourselves in the beauty of Asmara and the red sea coast, I was yet to understand the deep-rooted implication of the war on the Eritrean people and what the prospect of peace means for the ordinary citizens of Eritrea.
For us Addis Ababaians we can't truly understand the cruelty of war in depth. It feels as though we are very detached from the situation. The feeling is opposite for the people of Asmara and Eritrea as a whole. The war had a direct effect on the everyday life of Eritreans and the youth were the ones that suffered the most. Every person I have encountered has lost someone either in Sawa (a military academy) or trying to cross Libya. They have been imprisoned for having a view on religion or politics and for 20 years they have been on a national service which restricted them to travel anywhere outside of Eritrea; all of which was a justified necessity to overcome a likely scenario of an 'Ethiopian invasion'.
In protecting their country's sovereignty and dignity, the youth have paid the ultimate price by scarifying their freedom to education, to move freely, to access information, to see their loved ones and in many cases, they have sacrificed their lives. For the Eritrean youth, peace with Ethiopia means to finally start planning their lives without worrying about national service, For the first time they will have the right to demand a passport, to be able to travel, to have access to university, they will listen to Ethiopians song without being arrested, they will follow any religion they choose, and they will see their loved ones after 20 years of separation. In other word, they will have the opportunity to oppose the rhetoric of scarifying ones freedom to protect national sovereignty.
26-year-old guy I met on the road to Massawa, Serving his 5th year national service as mining engineer.
My beautiful host who took my friends and I into her house even though we have never met before.
This trip has been an overwhelming experience that I will cherish forever. I encourage you all to go and experience it yourself.

The social media manager has a key role for many brands. But can he or she really be called a marketer?
By Christopher Heine
On a humid night in late July, more than 100 social media managers flooded into a downtown Manhattan workspace—but pizza, beer and rubbing elbows with peers weren't all that was on the menu. In a packed room with all the folding chairs spoken for, some stood for two hours to get schooled in the secrets of social media success from Pinterest and Instagram marketing gurus.
Social media managers who represent brands on leading social platforms are often called dedicated. It's other labels that are more controversial.
Whether or not social media managers can rightly be called marketers sparked some debate on Twitter this summer, pitting digital veterans against digital natives. The way the more seasoned pros look at it, a youthful knack for Facebook and a South by Southwest badge do not necessarily a marketer make.
Don't tell that to Liz Eswein, who, as the 23-year-old co-founder of The Mobile Media Lab, works on Instagram-based projects for brands such as Evian. "I totally consider myself to be a marketer," Eswein says. "It's my livelihood. I feel like since I grew up in the digital age that I've been engulfed in it, and I know the space in and out.
"I was on Facebook when it first came out," she adds. "I haven't had to learn these communications, whereas someone of an older generation has to learn how to use these things."
Ms. Eswein, meet Ian Schafer, CEO of Deep Focus, who has worked in the digital space since 1997. "Being a paid social media staffer doesn't mean you are a professional marketer," he says. "I don't want to belittle the role of the online community manager because they are important. But that call and response isn't leading up to greater marketing goals. It's meant to get more comments and likes on Facebook."
Kevin Doohan, a Web marketing director since 1997 for brands including ConAgra and Red Bull, agrees with Schafer. While some compare social media managers to marketers, Doohan says, "They are absolutely different functions. It is not the same people at all."
Yet that argument gets some social media managers—who spend much of their time tamping out consumer flame-ups on Facebook and Twitter—hot under the collar.
"To me, that's totally ridiculous," says Dave Brown, director of digital strategy at MKG.
Brown's perspective is instructive. After all, he doesn't fit the stereotype of the recent college grad who wants to post and tweet for a living.
The 36-year-old has been a digital pro for more than a decade and is something of leader among New York-based social media managers. He helped organize the aforementioned meet-up, which is a monthly event.
Illustrations: Alex Fine
Most of those who attend the meetings are twentysomethings like Eswein and recent college grads. But a dozen or so 40-ish and 50-ish faces also show up.
"There is some potential ageism, I think," says Leslie Henry, 47, a marketing freelancer who is exploring social media management as a career and attended to the event to network. "But I was just talking to some girls, and they looked at me and said, 'Why did you even bring up [the age issue]? It's more about whether or not you are fun to work with, or whether we can bounce ideas off each other.' And I felt pretty good after hearing that."
Henry's resume certainly pokes a hole in assumptions about the social media manager. She has a master's degree from Wharton. But even with her Ivy League credentials, she might command a starting salary of just $45,000, according to Kasey Carpenter, a senior agent for Aquent, an employment service that regularly places social media managers. Still, social media managers for Fortune 500 companies can work their way up to six-figure salaries. "It takes a personality that wants to engage," Carpenter says. "They have to want to truly be immersed in that community."
Carree Syrek, chief strategy officer at Kinetic Social, points out that a short attention span—usually considered a bad trait—is a selling point for a social media manager.
"You have to be able to jump back and forth and back and forth," she explains. "Let's face it: The young people in our business were brought up doing that, so they're uniquely qualified to do that jumping. Above them—the adults in the room, so to speak—make sure the train stays on the rails. You have to stay on brand. That's one of the pieces you have to be wary of with the younger crowd."
Syrek gives credence to the observations of Schafer and Doohan that social media managers are something less than marketers. But her statement also reveals a potential occupational hazard for many social media managers: limited autonomy.
Marketing higher-ups set the rules. So if social media managers really want free rein, they may be better off in the middle of a smaller social department that needs staffers to wear several hats.
Sometimes the hat says "marketer," and sometimes it doesn't.
"People are struggling to define the role," says MKG's Brown. "No one is sure what to call us. No one is sure what to pay us. The road conditions are changing constantly, so you have to be in it for the right reasons. You have to love it."

Want a perfect view over the Surrey hills and countryside? Then you don't have to look much further than Greyfriars House, a beautifully restored mansion near Guildford which is now a spectacular wedding venue. The house has a great mix of old and new decor with a well laid out ceremony room and a cosy bar with ample space outside for your wedding guests to mingle. Throw into the mix some beautiful landscaped gardens as a stunning backdrop to your wedding photographs then this is a venue to really get excited about.
I had the pleasure of photographing Dan and Vicky's Ibiza themed wedding here on a lovely sunny September day. I've never seen a more perfectly laid out dressing room awaiting Vicky and her bridesmaids.
While Vicky and the girls were upstairs in the house Dan and the boys were soaking up the sunshine nervously awaiting the ceremony.
Vicky didn't have to walk far when she was escorted by her father for the start of the formal part of the day once Dan had attached the wedding wristband of course!
Ibiza has played a massive part of Dan and Vicky's lives and the whole party celebrations lived up to the name. Everyone got into the spirit and ripped it up on the dance floor. It was an incredibly fun and relaxed afternoon and evening with one of the busiest dance floors I've seen for a while. With plenty to keep everyone entertained inside and outside of the house all the guests were having a right blast.
It was a privilege to be a part of Dan and Vicky's fun filled wedding. I hope these photographs from the day show the fun and excitement had by all. Thanks to Yasmina for assisting me on the day.
If you are getting married in Surrey or the South East then give me a call. I would love to hear your plans.

Storied NFC North Rivals to Collide
After a huge 15-9 win over the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions brace for another division rival when they pay a visit to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears.
While the Lions (2-6) and Bears (3-6) are sitting at the bottom of the NFC North, both have shown progress over the last month. Detroit's defense has displayed some growth, while Chicago's offense has skyrocketed thanks to quarterback Justin Fields' breakout. Which squad will build on its positive momentum?
Let's check the latest NFL odds, stats, injury reports, and NFL lines for Lions vs Bears. We've plenty of Vegas NFL odds and NFL week 10 picks for you to consider.
Lions' Offensive Decline
Through the first four weeks, the Detroit Lions had one of the NFL's top offenses, averaging 35 points. Over the last four games, the Lions are averaging 12.0 points. Several areas have caused the massive drop-off.
Quarterback Jared Goff's play has sharply declined. During the first four games, he had a 100.6 passer rating, compared to an 80.1 passer rating over the last month. Goff has also thrown four interceptions over the last four games.
In addition, injuries have been an issue. All-Pro center Frank Ragnow has battled a foot injury, and top wideout Amon-Ra St.Brown was banged up for a couple of games. Running back D'Andre Swift has dealt with an ankle and shoulder injury. He missed three consecutive games and returned against the Miami Dolphins on Oct. 30. Swift is still not fully healthy and has not reached over 10 touches in the last two games.
With the offense's struggles, Detroit has been hard-pressed for wins, especially when the defense ranks 32nd in allowed points and yards per game. Fortunately, the defense has stepped up in recent games. It has generated four turnovers and has not allowed over 107 rushing yards since Week 8.
Chicago Has Its Franchise QB
The Chicago Bears' offensive trajectory is the polar opposite of the Detroit Lions. In his second season, Fields has taken the next step. In the 35-32 loss to the Miami Dolphins, Fields' 178 rushing yards set a record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a regular-season game. He is also getting it done through the air with a 100.4 passer rating since Week 5. Plus, Fields boasts a 113.4 passer rating over the last two games.

— NFL (@NFL) November 10, 2022
Fields' breakout has drastically improved the Bears' offensive numbers. The run game has thrived most of the season, but it has reached another level. Over the last three games, Chicago has posted at least 240 rushing yards in every game. The Bears have the NFL's top rushing attack, averaging 195.4 yards (first) and 5.4 yards per carry (second). David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert are one of the NFL's top running back duos. Add Fields' legs into the fold and Chicago's run game has become an unstoppable force.
While the offense is averaging over 30 points in the last three games, the defense has struggled. After allowing 49 points against the Dallas Cowboys and 35 points against the Dolphins, the Bears are on a two-game losing streak.
With a favorable upcoming schedule, Chicago's offensive success could lead to a winning streak.
Lions vs Bears Game Injuries
Lions vs Bears Head-to-Head
With 184 meetings dating back to 1930, this is one of the NFL's most storied rivalries. Since 2018, the Bears have won seven of the last eight matchups.

Lions vs Bears Betting Lines
Lions vs Bears Picks & Prediction
This matchup is shaping up to be a shootout. Chicago's defense has struggled in every area over the last month. Meanwhile, Detroit's defense ranks last in the NFL. The Lions still allowed nearly 400 yards in the 15-9 win over the Packers.
Ultimately, the Bears' run game will be too much. The Lions do not have an athlete that can properly spy Fields. Chicago will grab its fourth win paired with a cover.
The Chicago Bears are listed at -150 in our Vegas lines. This means that if you wager $100 on the Bears, you have a chance to win $67. The Detroit Lions are +130, offering a chance to win $130 on a $100 wager.
The implied probability attached to the betting lines gives the Chicago Bears a 60.00% chance to win, with the Detroit Lions at 43.48%.
BET THIS PICK: Chicago Bears (-3)

I mentioned back in LIttle Wars – a Favoured YouTube Channel, that Little Wars was one of my favourite channels. I watch for the new releases and have enjoyed some great refights (like the recent Agincourt one). A week ago they released another wargame, this one the Fourth Kawanakajima Wargame.
This was a reflight of, yes, the Fourth Kawanakajima Battle. The refight was controlled by the Killer Katana wargame rules (look for the rule review this week and those rules are available from On Matters Military, a company I can recommend and have purchased from before). Fourth Kawanakajima was a large battle between competing samurai clans in the 16th century with armies of 10 to 12,000 men engaged. The refight itself was performed using 6mm figures (another favourite of mine). I am guessing they were Baccus 6mm samurai figures. Another range is produced by Heroics and Ros.
Whichever figures you like, do have a look at the refight and be inspired to paint hundred of 6mm samurai! I will admit that the samurai period of Japan has always had an interest for me, in part from my time in Korea. Anyway, have a look at the video and be inspired.
