This paper aims to highlight policy ap-proaches for obesity prevention in early childhood while alsodiscussing the opportunities for efforts to consider social de-terminants of health as a core tenet to child investments.

It was supposed to be a morning like every other while out on the reserve, heading out and seeing what predators were still active after the rainy evening before. Senior Ranger Dean Pieters and I, headed out in the direction of where the lionesses, named Nicka and Angel, were the night before.
These two lionesses were orphaned cubs that were rescued in the Addo Elephant National Park and brought to Kuzuko, where they were raised, released and are now self-sustaining predators. Not being able to locate them, we decided to try and find the two cheetah males, as we headed into an open part of the reserve, driving through a beautiful valley covered in lush spekboom.
Just out of the valley we heard baboons calling as they were waking up wet and cold from their slumber. After spending some time just taking in the morning sounds, we proceeded to an open plain area with typical Karoo shrubs and thorn bushes.
A subtle movement caught Dean's eye… Lions! Cornered in a tree was a young baboon that made a racket that would've made most vuvuzela wielding soccer supporters proud. Underneath the intertwined trees, the lionesses tiptoed around, licking their chops, in anticipation for this snack that had nowhere to run. All the while, from a safe distance, the baboon troop told the world how unhappy they were with the way things were playing out with their comrade.
In the past these two females hunted monkeys by chasing them up a tree, one covering the base and one jumping in and bringing the primate down. This is highly unusual behaviour for a lion, as they prefer bigger prey that can give them more energy in return. This happened to be the first time, to our knowledge, where our ladies attempted to make a meal out of a baboon.
Back in the action Angel jumped into the tree, terrorised the baboon, which in turn filled the morning air with his anxious shrieks. After countless approaches Angel eventually made a breakthrough by popping out above the tree canopy, with one terrified baboon taking a leap of faith which turned out to be ill-fated as he met Nicka on the ground. A short chase followed around the tree with Nicka catching up in less than 30 metres to end yet another life with one slap of her oversized paw.
Almost like a close sports game with multiple supporters, the baboon troop ensured that enough background noise was added to the movie scene in front of us while cheering for their relative trying to evade the teeth behind him. Then in the next moment there was a cold silence. The troop realised they are one down in numbers and followed it with a mourning ceremony comprised of a cacophony of sounds.
Back at the breakfast table, Nicka played with her hard-earned meal, but refused to share with her sister. Angel tried her best at getting her mouth on some meat as she was the one who did most of the work but to no avail. Bone crushing sounds filled the air as Nicka started chomping away leaving only one question: who said a queen can't cater for herself for breakfast?

Maria (Susannah Thorngate) gives a music lesson surrounded by the von Trapp children, from left, Brigitta (Lilli Graesing), Gretl (Anna Gerke), Louis (Hannah Filter), Marta (Natalie Krogwold), Frederich (Aaron Economy), Liesl (Sarah Melcher) and Kurt (Mitchell Anderson) in a scene from West Community Theatre's "The Sound of Music."
West Community Theatre is presenting a lovely, faithful version of the show with its host of familiar, hummable tunes.
There are some fine moments here and the wonderful 28-piece orchestra, conducted by Kristin Cudzewicz, really showcases the beautiful music with a full, rich sound. Such a large orchestra including eight brass, eight woodwinds and eight strings, is quite a luxury, one not often afforded a community theater production. Judith Smith directs the show.
The orchestra, nice backdrops of stained glass for the abbey, Swiss Alps and other sites, plus a wonderful Maria in Susannah Thorngate-Rein, put the show on an overall solid footing.
Thorngate-Rein captures the spirit of the plucky heroine, Maria Rainer, the nun wannabe who finds herself as nanny to the seven children of Captain Georg von Trapp (Bryan Madson) after the abbey's mother superior (Suzanne Stalker) sees her flightiness and strong will are not a good fit for the convent.
The story takes place on the cusp of World War II in Salzburg, Austria, which has been annexed by Nazi Germany. The Captain is a staunch nationalist, unlike his fianceé Elsa Schrader (Betsy Katschke), a wealthy baroness, and his friend Max Detweiller (David Jirik), a music agent who pushes Georg to allow his children to perform in Austria's largest music festival. Both Elsa and Max think Georg should just accept the new regime and not fight it as they sing, "There's No Way to Stop It," one of two tunes not included in the Julie Andrews-Christopher Plummer, less-political film.
It is Maria and her love of music that bring out the von Trapp children's talents, much to the dismay of the stern captain. But while Maria is bonding with the children, she also finds herself attracted to Georg, who summons his children by whistle, as he did his charges in the Navy. In the lovely party sequence in which the Captain dances an Austrian folk dance with Maria, it becomes apparent the two are in love.
When Brigitta (Lilli Graesing) comments about Maria blushing after the dance, the latter turns her back on love and returns to the abbey. But Mother Superior, in her wisdom, sends Maria back to the family, telling her that the abbey can't shelter her from her problems. "These walls were not built to shut out problems. You must face them," she tells Maria.
Max (David Jirik) and Elsa (Betsy Katschke) discuss the futility of fighting the German occupation in Austria in a scene from West Community Theatre's "The Sound of Music."
In the play, Elsa and Georg's split is not only due to Maria's return, but because of their different viewpoints on the Nazi annexation. I so miss it when Elsa, played by Eleanor Parker in the film, says to Maria, "Somewhere out there is a lady who I think will never be a nun," which doesn't occur in the stage version.
One of the highlights of this show are the wedding preparations and processional scenes featuring the lovely-voiced nun chorus – which is pleasing throughout tClhe show – as well as the orchestra's bold brass section adding a large dose of majesty.
A scene I had never seen before in "Sound of Music" productions is the final silhouetted tableau of the family starting off on their trek through the mountains to Switzerland and freedom from the Nazi occupation. It is a beautiful, fitting ending to the show.
The show has some fine performances, including Madson's Georg. Madson maintains a strict, brooding mood throughout and his bass voice is commanding, though it didn't work as well in some of the tunes on opening night. He and Thorngate-Rein had some wonderful scenes together, but his steely façade could have gradually come down.
Liesl (Sarah Melcher) tries to steal a kiss from Rolf (Joseph Gall) in the "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" scene from West Community Theatre's "The Sound of Music."
Thorngate-Rein slid so comfortably through her role -- standing up to the captain, confused about her feelings for him, empathetic with the children -- giving her lots of appeal. I loved how she couldn't resist munching on a pastry in a scene with Elsa and Max and responded with her mouth full, which just added to her charm. She also had a sweet, lilting voice that effortlessly handled all her classic tunes like "Favorite Things" with Mother Superior, "Do-Re-Mi" with the children and, of course, "The Sound of Music." Her elastic voice was on display in "The Lonely Goatherd" in which she navigated all the tricky yodeling, along with the children.
Jirik is the perfect Max, exhibiting the inflated ego and love of the good life the character enjoys when he visits Georg at his opulent home. He and Katschke work nicely together in their scenes. Katschke has the right look and demeanor for the haughty baroness, great stage presence plus fine vocals.
The children all did well, but I especially enjoyed the extra verve Hannah Filter gives her Louisa character, and Graesing's wise Brigitta. Anna Gerke adds an appropriate cute factor to the show as little Gretl. Joseph Gallo handles the Rolf role nicely. He and Sarah Melcher's Liesl execute the "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" song and dance well.
On the whole, I enjoyed the show. However, it felt a tad sluggish, mostly due to slow scene changes and curtain closings as well as some scenes that could've quickened the pace with snappier dialogue. This might pick up in subsequent performances. The show lasted around three hours on opening night.
Costuming can be a challenge for such a large production so it's hard to outfit every character to a T. But I had a hard time with Georg's military attire in iconic scenes such as the ball and wedding. Just struck a discordant tone.
Nonetheless, this is an ambitious, worthwhile production that includes lots of happy area youngsters doing something fun for themselves and the community during their summer vacation.

Meet the new namesake of Johnson County
Lulu Merle Johnson is one of the university's most accomplished African American graduates
By: Tom Snee | 2020.09.25 | 10:52 am
Lulu Merle Johnson grew up in Iowa, helped end segregation at the University of Iowa, and as a scholar changed our view of slavery. She's now the new namesake of Johnson County. Contributed photo.
Editor's note: The Johnson County Board of Supervisors on June 24, 2021, voted to approve the measure to rename the county for Lulu Merle Johnson.
Lulu Merle Johnson is the latest University of Iowa alumna to have her accomplishments enshrined in memory, becoming the new namesake for Johnson County.
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors approved a measure Sept. 23 that begins the process of replacing the county's original namesake, Richard Mentor Johnson, with Lulu Johnson, one of the university's most accomplished African American alumni. The change comes in the wake of the death of several African Americans by police officers earlier this year.
"Dr. Lulu Merle Johnson's experience, activism, and professional achievements represent the best of Iowa and the best of Johnson County," says Leslie Schwalm, professor of gender, women's, and sexuality studies who is an advocate for the change and who wrote a brief biography with Johnson's niece, Sonya Jackson. "And because she was African American, her experience is particularly noteworthy for illuminating the significant challenges that Black Iowans and Black Iowa women in particular have faced in overcoming institutional racism, sexism, and discrimination."
Lulu Johnson's Iowa credentials are impeccable. She grew up in the southwestern part of the state, played 6-on-6 basketball in high school, and earned three degrees in history from Iowa. Her family members Duke Slater and Richard "Bud" Culberson are Hawkeye athletic legends. After graduation, Johnson would become an esteemed educator while researching the lives of African Americans, and also a civil rights pioneer as an activist against segregationist policies.
Richard Johnson, meanwhile, was a slaveholder who had an ongoing relationship with one of people he enslaved, Julia Chinn. She bore him two children and died of cholera in 1833, after which he buried her in an unmarked grave and left her largely forgotten to history. He was the vice president of the United States at the time Johnson County was carved out of the Wisconsin Territory in 1837, but there's no record he ever set foot in the Wisconsin or, later, Iowa Territory.
In this photo from Althea Moore, Lulu Johnson is pictured second from the left.
He is problematic in other ways, too, says Johnson County Supervisor Rod Sullivan.
"When Johnson was running for VP, he had two claims to fame," Sullivan told PolitiFact. "First, he was said to be the man who had killed more Native Americans than any other person. Secondly, he was said to have killed Tecumseh. Frankly, no one knows if either is true. But either way, it struck me as sickening."
The impetus for changing the namesake of the county came from David McCartney, an archivist in UI Libraries' Special Collections, who led an online petition drive that eventually gathered more than 1,000 signatures. While Iowa law makes changing the name of a county a cumbersome affair, there are no laws that affect who a county can be named after.
"Johnson County should be renamed for a far more worthy individual, also named Johnson," McCartney says.
Lulu Merle Johnson was born in Gravity, Iowa, in 1907 to a successful farming family, and the only Black family in their community. Her father, Richard, was a freed slave who rented out his land and worked as a barber in his own shop. Her mother, Jemimah, was the daughter of freed slaves. Schwalm said they were a well-off and established family in Gravity, prominent locally, and active in statewide African American organizations.

Johnson moved to Clinton for her senior year of high school, where she captained the high school's 6-on-6 girls basketball team. From there she came to the university, where her family already had strong connections. Her brother Roscoe was a student, and her nephew, Bud Culberson, was the first African American to play basketball for the Hawkeyes and broke the color line in the Big Ten. Another family member, Duke Slater, is a Hawkeye football legend who will soon be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as one of the NFL's most accomplished early African American players.
Johnson arrived on campus in 1925, one of 14 Black women attending Iowa (there were 50 men). Schwalm notes that Iowa City and the university were rigidly segregated at the time, so Johnson could live only in an apartment with other African American students because university-owned housing was whites only. Off-campus housing was strictly segregated as well, and so were restaurants.
But Johnson challenged the discrimination she faced at the university. In a military science class, she and other Black students sat in the front row in seats that had been assigned to white students and raised their hands with answers at the ready whenever the instructor asked a question.
She also protested while fulfilling a policy that required students to pass a swimming test: The university was willing to let her and other Black students waive the test in order to keep them out of the pool because it would then have to be drained and refilled before white students could use it again. But Johnson and the others insisted on taking the test, getting a measure of revenge by doing so at odd hours, especially early in the morning, to make these segregationist policies as inconvenient as possible.
"This made sure the inconvenience of Jim Crow fell on the school, not just on the students," says Schwalm.
And Johnson was also part of a group of alumni who led a campaign to desegregate the university's residence halls, which finally happened in 1946.
Invisible Hawkeyes
Between the 1930s and 1960s, the University of Iowa sought to assert its modernity, cosmopolitanism, and progressivism through an increased emphasis on the fine and performing arts and athletics. This enhancement coincided with a period when an increasing number of African American students arrived at the university, from both within and outside the state, seeking to take advantage of its relatively liberal racial relations and rising artistic prestige. The presence of accomplished African American students performing in musical concerts, participating in visual art exhibitions, acting on stage, publishing literature, and competing on sports fields forced white students, instructors, and administrators to confront their undeniable intellect and talent. Unlike the work completed in traditional academic units, these students' contributions to the university community were highly visible and burst beyond the walls of their individual units and primary spheres of experience to reach a much larger audience on campus and in the city and nation beyond the university's boundaries.
By examining the quieter collisions between Iowa's polite midwestern progressivism and African American students' determined ambition, Invisible Hawkeyes, published by University of Iowa Press and edited by former University of Iowa faculty Lena and Michael Hill, focuses attention on both local stories and their national implications. By looking at the University of Iowa and a smaller midwestern college town like Iowa City, this collection reveals how fraught moments of interracial collaboration, meritocratic advancement, and institutional insensitivity deepen our understanding of America's painful conversion into a diverse republic committed to racial equality.
People discussed in this collection include Edison Holmes Anderson, George Overall Caldwell, Elizabeth Catlett, Fanny Ellison, Oscar Anderson Fuller, Michael Harper, James Alan McPherson, Herbert Franklin Mells, Herbert Nipson, Thomas Pawley, William Oscar Smith, Mitchell Southall, and Margaret Walker.

She earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Iowa in 1930 and then came back to earn her doctorate in 1941, the first African American woman to earn a doctorate in Iowa and only the tenth Black woman to receive a doctorate from any American university. Among her grad school contemporaries at Iowa were Margaret Walker, the poet and author who helped define a literary movement, and Elizabeth Catlett, who would go on to become one of America's most important contemporary artists. Johnson's own scholarly line of inquiry was slavery, and Schwalm says she again had to fight against ingrained racist attitudes of the day when she joined the academy.
"The study of slavery was a field then dominated by white scholars who portrayed slavery as beneficial to people of African descent, arguing that enslaved people were kindly treated," says Schwalm, herself a scholar of slavery and Reconstruction. "Dr. Johnson, whose grandparents had lived through slavery, took a new direction in her study, finding the history of slavery north of the Mason-Dixon Line."
Lulu later in life.
Schwalm says Johnson's pathbreaking work helped explode the myth that slavery did not exist in the Northwest Territories, and that Blacks were held as slaves illegally in states like Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Her views were predictably attacked by other scholars whose work she upended, which Schwalm says Johnson surely knew would happen when she entered the field. But Johnson stood firm and today, the idea that slavery was a benign if not beneficial force confined to the South is seen as absurd by most historians.
Johnson was also unable to find a teaching job in Iowa, as most colleges and universities refused to hire Black teachers at the time. She spent her career at historically Black colleges and universities instead: Talladega, Tougaloo, Florida A&M, and West Virginia State, before joining Cheyney State in Pennsylvania as a history professor and dean of women in 1952.
Many of Johnson's family members live in and around Des Moines today, and they describe her as "persnickety," a strict disciplinarian with a sense of humor but who did not suffer fools well. Her nephew John Jackson told the Johnson County Board of Supervisors about a family member who wanted to write her a letter but hesitated:
"They were afraid because they thought it might be graded and returned," he says.
Johnson retired from Cheyeny in 1971 and moved to Delaware with Eunice Johnson, her longtime partner. The two of them spent the next decades traveling the world before Lulu died in 1995 at age 88.
"Lulu Johnson's farm-to-faculty experience exemplifies Johnson County's unique contribution to the state, an opportunity for a world-class education as well as professional and occupational mobility," Schwalm says.
"By renaming Johnson County in her honor, we will recognize an individual who devoted her life to education and to its accessibility," says McCartney.

PSG boss Pochettino confident over Mbappe and Neymar futures
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Mauricio Pochettino says he's confident about Neymar and Kylian Mbappe staying at the club for years to come.
It took two years after Neymar's sensational world-record transfer from Barcelona to PSG for him to start working on a move back to the Catalan club, appearing disillusioned with his chances of winning the Champions League with the Ligue 1 champions. He reportedly went as far as handing in a transfer request in 2019.
However, things could not be more different at the moment. Neymar himself recently revealed that he's happy and intends to stay in the French capital, expressing the hope that Kylian Mbappe would decide the same.
Mbappe will be entering the final 12 months of his contract this summer, and it's obvious that he'll be making his decision between now and then with Real Madrid lurking.
But speaking to RMC sport, Pochettino said he was confident about both players staying put.
"I believe that they will both stay and I think they will stay for a long time at PSG," he said.
And I have no doubt, I am very optimistic, the club is in the process of working to succeed in keeping them. This is a feeling. But it is also what I see: Ney and Kylian are happy. They enjoy themselves here, and I believe that the club is working for them to stay."

Debian Gnu/Linux is the choice. I've "Linux Mint 12" installed on laptop to get a exposure on latest *buntu development.
I am following Linux Mint Debian Edition(LMDE) and how it evolves may be as a alternate choice for those who dig Debian yet prefer a decent looking version(means eyecandy).
Arch linux on my main, once you've tried it, it becomes almost impossible to enjoy anything else, best documentation to help you along and like anything else becomes second nature after a couple months in. Most importantly is that after having invested the time in reading the docs to tweak your system to your liking, you really have a greater understanding of how things work. It really makes you a better end user.
fedora, debian, centos all great distros each with their strong points but need to make an honorable mention about Mint 12 (Lisa), testing it out now and am very impressed thus far, everything works flawlessly, the updates have been flawless and as mentioned by some already, it just works ... well done!
aside: if you haven't the time to read nor the patience to search for solution, Arch is not for you.
I have a VPS that currently runs CentOS, found it to be more stable than others such as Debian, RedHat in a virtual environment. But I've a dual boot PC with Ubuntu and Windows 7 Ultimate edition.
Had been playing with Linux Mint but every version seems to always have problems with the graphics (docky and gnome-shell) and wifi (slow wifi).
Tried Elementary OS Jupiter and its better than Mint for me.
I don't get graphics problem, the slow wifi is there but I discovered compat-wireless and make it following the instructions.
Its simple, fast and stable.
I think I'll stick with E-OS for a while, hope the coming Luna will be good too.
Ubuntu 12.04 (Unity primarily, but I've been liking Cinnamon a lot).
ubuntu but tried Mint and was a pain due to several issues i had including mouse pad not working properly.
Only using it in a server role, but have a few machines running Arch. Loving it for the BSD-style setup, no rolling the dice every six months, and mostly the build-it-from-the-ground-up approach. Not a fan of "everything including the kitchen sink and several of its forks" distros.
The only linux distribution that I ever use and by far the best is Ubuntu. The rest isn't that great. I used to use ubuntu but not anymore since it's not easy to install Windows back when I instaled Linux.
This I would suggest for anyone first trying linux and worried about windows, or for anyone that does not wish Grub/grub2 to take over the boot loader. Or for someone who is a causal user that does not wish to run it in a VM.
Ubuntu. Simply due to the amount of documentation.
Parted Magic. It's the only Linux distro that has ever been useful to me.
I've always used KDE since I got a Suse cd from somewhere. I've been using Kubuntu since 7.04. Now running 12.10 development release.
I'm currently running Fuduntu 2012.4. An independent rolling release forked from Fedora. Rock solid stable here on a 5-year-old Dell Dimension E520. I'm really beginning to appreciate RPM based distros.
Currently downloading the latest testing version of Debian to try out since I have always loved that distro too, but I think Mint 14 is going to be a winner.
Slackware is the only Linux I would use.
I suggest you to wait for Luna, their new version, to be released in the following weeks.
Im gonna, but I did d/l the beta of luna to have a look as a live cd and all i can say is wow very slick :) Ill keep tabs on it from now on. cheers for the heads up Sanctified can see this gracing at least my old X1 Latitude if not my XPS M1330 :) dunno if itll make my desktop PC but thats a games rig.
I prefer gparted myself, I haven't really messed with Parted Magic. how's it compare?
Parted Magic is more like a suite of useful storage-related tools than a single tool in Live-CD format: it includes GParted, Clonezilla, partition recovery tools, a web browser (Firefox, the list time I checked) and whatever.


Avian Tutorials? - artwork techniques & tutorials - Furtopia | Family Friendly Furry Forum and IRC Chat!
It is a pretty great resource, but I would like more help with drawing wings and torsos from a different angle as well as legs and heads.
that might help. Also one for birds.
Drawing anthros generally depend on what you think one should look like.
when I am drawing a new character or one am not familiar with.
Yes! Those were helpful. I haven't had much time to draw in the past couple of days, but I will post later when I have some drawings.


Korean fried chicken bao and a white-bread gelato sandwich topped with red-velvet cake crumbs, by the river.
The Night Noodle Markets return to Melbourne next week, transforming the banks of the Yarra into an open-air dining festival. Live music and drinks accompany a plethora of Asian street-food vendors including Hochi Mama, Mr Miyagi and Wonderbao. Yesterday, the stalls unveiled their 2017 menus.
Our top picks include Hochi Mama's grilled pork sliders – fluffy steamed buns with braised pork belly, fried chicken and Peking duck; and Dum and Dumpling's steamed pork dumplings, called Dum Dum Balls.
Poklol will make its version of a HSP – called Chichi Fries – with bulgogi beef, chilli chicken or chilli pork served on beer-battered fries with cheese, kimchi, Japanese mayo and a sweet Korean barbeque sauce.
Mahjong is serving up chicken noodles; Puffle will fill a cone-shaped cheese waffle with Korean fried chicken and egg before topping it with Japanese mayo; and Little Kyoto will be slinging its Phorrito, a Vietnamese-style burrito.
Wonderbao is bringing back one of last year's favourites, as well as a new vegetarian bao.
"The Korean fried chicken was really popular last year so we're revisiting that. We've also got our vegetarian option with panko-crumbed eggplant, kimchi mayo and spring onion," manager Jonah Hoac tells Broadsheet.
Wonderbao has been a resident of the Night Noodle Markets since it began in 2013.
Sweets will also be available, including Gelato Messina's Kamikaze Katsu – a white-bread sandwich filled with sudachi lime gelato coated in red velvet cake and panko crumbs, and finished with yuzu sauce. Black Star Pastry's Death by Chocolate Parfait is a custard-soaked cake topped with Oreos, cookies-and-cream gelato and whipped cream.
Despite the name, this market isn't just about the noodles.
Melbourne Night Noodle Market is on from November 9 to 26 at Birrarung Marr.

First look: Zaha Hadid Design makes Australian debut
Article by Natalie Mortimer
Zaha Hadid Design – the furniture and product arm of Zaha Hadid Architects – made its Australian debut at Denfair last week, where ADR sat down with co-director Maha Kutay.
Famous for her radical deconstructivist designs, Zaha Hadid's work is unmistakable. Buildings like the Riverside Museum in Glasgow and the Guangzhou Opera House are characterised by futuristic curving façades, sharp angles and harsh materials, such as concrete and steel.
Labelled a 'paper architect' at the beginning of her career (meaning her designs were deemed too avant-garde to move beyond the sketch phase) some of Hadid's earliest projects were designs for products and interiors.
Zaha Hadid Design (ZHD), which is run by co-directors Maha Kutay and Woody Yao, was officially established in 1996, but, as Kutay explains, it really began long before then.
"Some of the pieces that Zaha did in the 80s were sofas for an interiors project in London, that was actually one of her first projects, and those sofas were then commercialised with an Italian company," she tells ADR.
"So the design business is not something that started in 2006, it started when Zaha started designing."

Kutay joined Zaha Hadid Architects in 1996 and, aside from a break to start a family, has worked there for the entirety of her career. "I started there and still am there… in some ways this is all I know," she laughs.
"One of the first projects that I worked on was a tea and coffee set and when I went back to the business that somehow resonated in Zaha's mind. She felt that it would be good for me to start the design business as a separate company and give it a proper structure and move it on as a proper brand.
"That was in 2006 and, at the same time, Woody was involved in designing exhibitions and some product design. Organically we joined forces and are both now looking after the design business."
The ZHD portfolio is cross-disciplinary and includes design in fashion, jewellery, furniture and finishes, interiors, exhibitions, installations and set design. Many of the objects are designed as collaborations with other design practices, but there are also creations by the ZHD own label, which was established in 2014.
On show at Denfair was the Moon System sofa and ottoman (lead image), composed of double-curved geometries and the Aria and Avia chandeliers that resemble dripping plastic fused in form, and made from over 50 individual layers of a technopolymer medium.
Aria and Avia chandeliers
There were also newer pieces from the ZHD own label collection: the Swirl bowl in crystal glass, which captures the dynamism of a liquefied vortex, and the Cell centrepiece that explores geometric transitions.
All of the pieces are charged with Hadid's dramatic sense of motion and are essentially object interpretations of her architectural designs.
"It's all about the same themes that Zaha has investigated in her architecture," says Kutay.
"Whether it's working with a typography or with gravity, lifting up the building, the way it lands on the ground; it's all these ideas that we also carry on into the product, keeping in mind that they do need to be commercial and useable."
The Swirl bowl
Their creation also comes with some of the same challenges that the construction of her buildings did.
"When we look at fabricating those pieces, usually we are trying to create something that doesn't exist in the market or that is not understood easily," explains Kutay. "It's more about creating a drama into something.
"But with that comes the challenges of production and trying to develop and push our fabricators to catch up with our ideas and to be able to produce them. We are actually helping each other grow, us and the fabricators, to be able to deliver the product."

Doctors say Pele's health improving, remains in hospital
Brazilian Pele attends the 2018 soccer World Cup draw at the Kremlin in Moscow, Dec. 1, 2017. Brazilian soccer great Pelé was hospitalized in Sao Paulo to regulate the medication in his fight against a colon tumor, his daughter said on Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022.ap
Brazilian soccer great Pelé is improving, doctors said Tuesday.
The 82-year-old Pelé has been hospitalized for a week to treat a respiratory infection aggravated by COVID-19. He is expected to leave the hospital when he fully recovers from the infection.
″(He has) stable vital signs, is conscious, and with no new complications," the Albert Einstein hospital said in a statement.
Pelé, a three-time World Cup winner, is also fighting cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy.
In Qatar, the image of a young Pelé celebrating goals and lifting trophies with Brazil's national team appeared on the shirts, flags and banners of Brazilian fans gathering Monday before a World Cup match against South Korea.
Pelé had said he would be watching the match from the hospital. Brazil won 4-1 to reach the quarterfinals.
FIFA President hails group stages as best ever


I am using a script similar to what I have posted below. Is there a way to add a reference URL to imagery?
I don't understand your question. You mean add an additional parameter to this definition? That would be 'no' as far as I can tell.
What would you use it for? You might be able to have an event listener on selection-change if you're using the BaseMapGallery widget.
I would like to add a roads layer/as a reference to the imagery. For example, you will be able to see the rad names on top of the aerial images.
Is there a way to have this in the configuration file?
Part of what application is this configuration file?
Here is the link to the application I am trying to configure. I am looking in the config.js file and basemap settings.
I am not familiar with this application, but after brief look at it, I don't think that you can configure it to have two layers in your basemap without making any code changes.
I downloaded it now, and will try it.
I will let you know if I come up with a solution.
After looking at the code, I found a way for you to do what you need to do with very little change.
!!! Be advised though, it is a total hack and I have not tested all the functionality to see if it breaks anything else.
!!! I suggest, you create an issue on Github for your problem, and hopefully someone will look into it, and fix it.
!!! Best scenario for you would be to create and cache a hybrid service (image with road names), which is recommended in the application documentation.
!!! If you have no control over that, then you can try my hack, but make very good notes, so when you are upgrading the application, and it breaks, you know where to look.
Test it. Hope it works for you, if nothing else is possible.

Q: Lost on startActivity in Android Studio 3.0.1 So I want to have my Floating Action Button open the activity "add", but I am lost on startActivity (line 9). Everything I do just says 'expression expected'. Please Help!
FloatingActionButton fab = findViewById(R.id.fab);
   fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
       @Override
       public void onClick(View view) {
           Snackbar.make(view, "Do you want to open the activity?", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                   .setAction("YES", new View.OnClickListener() {
                       @Override
                       public void onClick(View view) {
                         startActivity(THIS IS WHERE I AM LOST);
                       }

A: Inside of onClick(View view) method use below code:
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, DesiredActivity.class);
//Add extra if you want
intent.putExtra(Key, value);
startActivity(intent);}

A: You should write the desired activity's intent in the startActivity();
for example suppose that user clicks on Yes and as a result you want to run the DesiredActivity.class. So you should have:
Intent desiredActivityIntent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, DesiredActivity.class);

startActivity(myActivity);

So when user clicks Yes , that activity will run.

A: Intent intent=new Intent(yourCurrentActivity.this,activityWhereYouWantToGo.class);
startActivity(intent);

where activityWhereYouWantToGo is your next activity name and yourCurrentActivity is your current activity name or you can simply pass activity context. just pest this code in on
public void onClick(View v) { }

Home News Firefox Needs Your Feedback Regarding its Upcoming Features
Firefox Needs Your Feedback Regarding its Upcoming Features
Those who wish to shape-up browser features typically need to jump in the game with everything they've got. You need to use early releases and you are also expected to leap in the developer community. That's because making changes in something as complex as a browser is serious, especially when it's Firefox – that's being used by millions around the world.
But what if you are content with a stable version and just feel like offering something like 'constructive criticism?' Well, in that case too, Mozilla has got you covered. The company will soon be launching 'Idea Town' which is an opt-in program which that lets its users try various upcoming features and while offering feedback on them. For that, you won't have to ditch you regular Firefox browser and the features listed will only be the ones that are likely to show up. This also implies that one won't get strictly the kind of experimental features he/she is expecting, but, still it will give a feel of development power in your hands.
Idea Town probably won't exist anymore than simply a teaser site till the time it's officially announced which is scheduled on August 11th. However, the first real code can be expected to arrive in the late summer and fall. It is also expected that Idea Town will become widely available once Firefox 42 shows up which is tentatively said to arrive on the 3rd of November. That's undoubtedly a long wait, but patience can surely help if you are interested in transforming Firefox even if you don't know a thing about programming.

1935 (in Saxe-Coburg-Gotha)[1]
The Saxe-Ernestine House Order (Sachsen-Ernestinischen Hausorden) was a German Ducal award, instituted by Duke Friedrich of Saxe-Altenburg, Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Duke Bernhard II of Saxe-Meiningen, on 25 December 1833 as a joint award of the Saxon duchies.[2]
At first, the Order consisted of five classes: Grand Cross, Commander's Cross with Star in First and Second Classes, and Knight's Cross in First and Second Classes. Awards were reserved for officers.[3] In 1864, a silver-gilt medal was added but subsequently suppressed in 1918, at the end of World War I.[4] Gold and silver medals were also associated with the Order.
There are mentions of awards of the Order to the Nazi hierarchy in the 1930s[citation needed].
2006 Saxe-Coburg revival
In 2006 the head of the ducal family of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Prince Andreas, created the Ducal Saxe-Coburg and Gotha House Order. It is based on the old Ducal Saxe-Ernestine House Order.[1]

Q: Maximal Accretive Implies Injective I'm having trouble proving that $B $ is essentielly maximal accretive implies that there  existes $ a>0 $ such that  $(A^∗+a Id)$ is injective.
where B is the closure of the operator A and A* is the adjoint of A
Here is what i did:
we proceede by contraposition. let us suppose that for any  $a>0$ we have $(A^∗+a Id)$ is not injective hence there exists $u∈D(A^∗)$ such that $A^∗u=−au$ hence $<A^∗u,u>=−a||u||^2 $ or $<A^∗u,u>=<B^∗u,u>$
but I could not conclude.
