Q: Passing variables from JavaScript to HTML and HTML button inputs to JavaScript I am trying to make a simple game using JavaScript and HTML.
The game consists of having two buttons on the screen with random numbers and clicking the one that is smaller.
At the end, you will get your results.
What I am having trouble with is getting the random number generated in JavaScript to print on the button and getting the data back to JavaScript from the button.

var number = prompt('Choose Your Difficulty, Easy, Normal, Or Hard?');
var number = number.toUpperCase(); //Chooses difficulty

if (number === 'EASY')//easy difficulty
{
 var difficulty = 20;
}else if (number === 'NORMAL')//normal difficulty
{
 var difficulty = 100;
}else if(number === 'HARD')//hard difficulty
{
 var difficulty = 1000;
}else
{
  alert('Please Enter A Valid Answer')//if value is not valid
}

var number1 = Math.floor((Math.random()* difficulty) + 1);//random number 1

var number2 = Math.floor((Math.random()* difficulty) + 1);//random number 2

//----------------------Code i found but im not sure now to use it--------------

// 1. Create the button
var button = document.createElement("button");
button.innerHTML = "Do Something";

// 2. Append somewhere

  randomNumTwo = Math.floor((Math.random()* difficulty) + 1);
  buttonOne.innerHTML = randomNumOne;
  buttonTwo.innerHTML = randomNumTwo;
}

function getResults(pressedButton){
  tempButton = pressedButton;
  if(tempButton == "buttonOne"){
    if(randomNumOne < randomNumTwo){

How can environmental history shape the future?
July 31, 2011 July 31, 2011 envirohistorynz
What do these three – seemly unrelated – photographs have in common? They all feature in an upcoming talk by Dr Catherine Knight exploring how environmental history research can shape the future, through policy and planning decisions which take account of the environmental past. This question has become increasingly topical both here and internationally, particularly in the wake of a series of natural disasters that have led to many questioning the wisdom of thinking that as humans we can control the forces of nature through engineering and technological solutions. (See for example: Is there such a thing as a natural disaster? The lessons of environmental history)
The presentation will first outline some of the thinking by leading scholars internationally, before presenting a number of case-studies, drawn from both New Zealand and overseas, which demonstrate how environmental history could be used to inform better decisions about how we interact with our natural environment.
The first talk will take place at Waikato University, Hamilton, on the 11th August. [Click here to view details]
The same talk will be held at Massey University, Palmerston North, on the 12th October (details to come).
This will also be the topic of a panel discussion at the New Zealand Historical Association Conference, to be held at Waikato University, Hamilton, between 16th and 18th November [click here to view details – programme to be released in mid-August]. On the panel, Professor Tom Brooking (Otago), Professor Eric Pawson (Canterbury), Associate Professor Katie Pickles (Canterbury), and Dr Catherine Knight will be presenting papers exploring various facets of this question.

Month of Mods Day 17: Europa Universalis III: Death and Taxes
Europa Universalis III: Death and Taxes
Today we are talking about a Europa Universalis III mod called Death and Taxes. The Death and Taxes mod takes everything you love about Europa Universalis III and puts it on steroids. The greatest thing that it does is expand the time to 1356-1928 so you now have almost 600 years of human history to play through. Also they have improved the AI, added in more and better missions, and made it possible to form the German and Roman empires and much more. A must own for any EUIII fan.
You can check...
Month of Mods Day 16: Modern Combat
Today we are talking about a Company of Heroes mod called Modern Combat, which adds in two new modern day armies into the game. The American Army and the People's Liberation Army or the Chinese Army. All redone with completely new modern units, skills, doctrines and so on. There are more bullets, more explosions and an all around faster pace of combat. Which if you like faster combat than Modern Combat is the ticket for you. Also THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA!!!!
Month of Mods Day 15: Stainless Steel
Today we are talking about a Medieval II: Total War Mod called Stainless Steel and this mod is like the Roma Surrectum of Medieval II. Because it does many of the same things such as make it more historically accurate, add more units, skins, nations and other enhancements. But the best thing about this mod is unquestionably the Mongols, the best representation of the faction ever.
Month of Mods Day 14: Fallout's Doomsday
Welcome to our 14th in our month of mods
Today we are talking about a Heart's of Iron Darkest Hour mod called Fallout's Doomsday, which converts the Fallout Wasteland to a Hearts of Iron Game. It's a pretty crazy concept but it works well despite my initial reservations. There are over 40 nations to choose from include crazy nations like nations of spiders, robots and mutants. If you're a Fallout fan then you'll have fun greeking out over the crazy techs, nations and events they added into the game.
Month of Mods Day 13: Project Nevada
Today we are talking about a Fallout: New Vegas mod called Project Nevada. Project Nevada modifies the game in several ways, for example it adds in a sprint function, bullet time function, custom perks and weapons. It rebalances the combat to make it more "skill" based and more like a FPS rather than an RPG by decreasing your health and enemy health. It also makes the game more challenging and more immersive among several other things. It will certainly change the way you play Fallout: New Vegas
Month of Mods Day 12: Nightmare House 2
Today we are changing pace a little bit and rather than the strategy heavy mod listings, we are talking about a survival horror FPS. Nightmare House 2 is an original content source mod that tells its own story complete with full voice acting and level design. For a free mod the sound and scenery design is fantastic and might even give you a scare or two, so if you are looking for a quick and cost effective way to kill a night, Nightmare House is a pretty good bet.


Could you answer these Common Core test questions?
Forty-two states and the District of Columbia are now using the same math and English standards, but the tests they use to determine how well students have mastered them still vary significantly.
One of the goals of the Common Core State Standards was to be able to compare student performance from state to state on a yearly basis. Five years ago, it looked like that would happen. Nearly all Common Core adopters were in at least one of two national consortia that would be creating new exams to accompany the standards, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium and Partnership for College and Career Readiness, known as PARCC.
Those numbers have dwindled. Just 20 states and the District of Columbia plan to give one of the two tests this spring. Others are back where they started: Using tests unique to their state. So even though, in theory, students in Connecticut, Wisconsin and Arizona are all learning the same thing, they'll be measured differently.
As always, when we're talking about testing, there are caveats. Even though all these questions deal with fractions, they may be testing different standards. They're also a mix of actually tested items and sample questions. The sample questions never appeared on the tests but were published ahead of the exams to give teachers and students an idea of what to expect, and the actual test items were released after appearing on an exam last spring. In both cases, just because a type of question doesn't show up here, doesn't mean it wasn't on the test – or won't be on future tests.
In other words, without an army of undercover fifth-grade reporters spying for us, it's impossible to do a comprehensive comparison of the exams.
Nevertheless, while we can't draw conclusions about which test was best from this sample of questions, we can see some important differences in each one's approach and how they differ – or not – from the old way of doing things.
Let's start with the obvious: whether a question is multiple choice. Smarter Balanced and PARCC are computer based assessments, meaning it's easy to go beyond multiple choice and require students to type in open-response answers. The contrast is seen most starkly when comparing these questions from ACT Aspire, a paper-based test, and PARCC.
It's virtually the same question, but it's much easier to guess the right answer on ACT Aspire than PARCC. That's compounded by the fact that the correct answer on the ACT question, 36, is a clear outlier.
"You don't want the correct answer to stand out," said Andrew Latham, director of Assessment & Standards Development Services at WestEd, which developed test questions for both PARCC and Smarter Balanced. If students understand enough to know the answer must be greater than 9, they don't have to do any math to get the right answer, so the question doesn't necessarily test whether they're able to divide by a fraction.
The test makers also made different choices about how many steps each problem would take to solve. Look at these two similar questions from Smarter Balanced and Wyoming's state exam.
The Smarter Balanced question only requires one step to get the right answer, dividing 2 by 1/5. To get Wyoming's test question right, students first need to be able to use the number line to figure out the shortest and longest distances before they can do the rest of the math. "If you can't read a number line, it doesn't matter if you can subtract fractions or not, you'll get it wrong," Latham said.
Phil Daro, one of the lead writers of the Common Core math standards, pointed out that students are asked to do multistep problems in the classroom, however. "You have to have them on the test," he said.
Of course, paper-and-pencil tests don't only rely on multiple-choice questions. They'll also include open response questions, like the New York examples, where students are given a standard word problem and asked to show their work before writing down an answer.
These questions take more time and money to grade, and are more prone to human error while grading, but there are pluses. Like the write-in answer on the above PARCC example, short answer math questions eliminate students' ability to guess with the added benefit of allowing students to get partial credit, if they set up the problem correctly but make an error adding two fractions, for instance.
PARCC sometimes mimics that process with a question like this, which requires students to first write out the expression they'd use to find the answer.
Regardless of whether a question is multiple choice or open response, clarity matters a lot. That's a particularly important consideration on math tests, where you run the risk of a student getting a question wrong because of weak reading skills rather than weak math skills.
The range of ambiguity in question phrasing is highlighted by these two PARCC items.

Q: Setting values of nested struct fields using reflection in Go I'm trying to create a protobuf structure out of a
type FlatMessage map[string][]byte

and I'm struggling with setting values of nested fields.
I have an
func (fm *FlatMessage) Unflatten() (pb.Message, error)

method to transform flat message into structured protobuf.
I also have a helper function called analyze which takes a struct of type pb.Message and returns a map[int]*ProtoField where:
type ProtoField struct {
    Name  string
    Type  reflect.Type
}

i.e. analyze traverses pb.Message recursively and gathers all the information I need about it. So far so good.
Now when I go key by key through my FlatMessage, the key is an encoded field number of a respective protobuf field, and I can set it using reflection, like this:
r := reflect.ValueOf(&result).Elem().FieldByName(field.Name)
if r.IsValid() {
    r.Set(scalarValue)
}

but that works only when the field.Name in question does not refer to a nested field, i.e., setting OldV1Id works fine, but attempting to set Profile.Id or, say, Destination.Address.TypeOfNumber, results in:
panic: reflect: call of reflect.Value.Set on zero Value [recovered]
    panic: reflect: call of reflect.Value.Set on zero Value

I understand that this is due to the fact that my r becomes <invalid Value> when called on a field which is a nested one, but how can I work around it?
My r is of course not valid, not addressable, and not settable. I can make a reflect.New out of it, but I can't figure out how to set that new reflect.Value in such a way that the field of my original structures becomes modified. No matter what I do the my function doesn't modify fields with nested names with this approach.
Another solution I tried is adding a
        Value reflect.Value
to my ProtoField structure, and modifying analyze so that it appends a reflect.ValueOf(s).Field(i) where s is the top-level struct interface{} and i is its ith field. Then whenever I encounter a field that is a nested one, I call r := reflect.ValueOf(field.Value), but then the problem is I'm unable to call r.Set(scalarValue) because of incompatible types.
Any help or insight is much appreciated.

A: Problem solved. ThunderCat was right in his comment: the trick is to use FieldByIndex. I didn't notice the signature of that method before, I thought it accepts an integer as an argument, but in fact it takes a slice of integers. It was then easy to modify my analyze function that traverses the structure recursively and now also constructs a slice of indexes as it goes. Now I can just r := reflect.ValueOf(&result).Elem().FieldByIndex(field.Idx) and I'm laughing.
Lesson learned here: if you want to set values of nested struct fields using reflection, don't call them by name; call them by index.

The morning session was kicked off by the traditional CAC shenanigans. They had ruled out any discussion on the economy and austerity on the grounds it wasn't contemporary. Doh! Three organisations moved reference back.


Drunk driver, Leigh Brennan, crashed his Volvo car into the Three Elms pub in Brixham, Devon at a speed of 60 mph. Sources stated that Brennan, who is 45 years old, had "already injured two others after crashing into a Mini before speeding off from the scene and in his Volvo estate car." Moments before the crash, there was a group of customers smoking outside the pub's door. It is a miracle that none of them were injured.
Brennan struggled to get out of the car and aggravated police officials. Sources claimed that he refused to take a BAC test along with any field sobriety tests. However, witnesses were able to affirm his drunkenness. Brennan was imprisoned for twelve months and lost his privilege to operate a vehicle for two years. Police officials released the footage of the accident to alert drivers about the consequences of driving drunk.
If you have been arrested for driving drunk, contact an experienced and skilled attorney for legal assistance.

When Does it Pay to Learn Programming Languages?
Topics: Business Insights, Career Planning, Education & Training, Labor Markets
Having programing knowledge can pay, but some skills are much more valuable than others depending on the language's current stage in its useful lifecycle.
Correctly identifying the next 'big' programming language is a concern for all stakeholders in the tech industry. For tech workers, picking a language to study has large implications for both career trajectory and compensation. Picking up a language fading in popularity could lead to a dead end, while focusing on the next big thing could lead to high profile jobs and bigger paydays. Similarly, startups striving to be the next big thing need to be aware of these trends in order to attract the best talent, create cutting-edge products and to compete with major players like Google and Apple. In fact, these heavyweights have gone one step further by introducing their own programming languages to solidify their positions of power in the tech community. In addition to endorsing Kotlin as an alternative to Java, Google developed Go and Dart to replace C and C++. Similarly, Apple released Swift as a replacement for Objective-C.
Despite these companies' best efforts, it remains to be seen whether these impressive new languages will ever catch on across the wider tech community. And while it's difficult to predict which languages will take off, it's equally difficult to know which programming languages will soon be replaced. Google believes that C-based languages are due for an overhaul, but is that true? Is Apple correct to assume that Objective-C is simply not going to cut it anymore for iOS development?
In order to help surmise the potential longevity and profitability of a given programming skill, we present a framework for the "lifecycle of a programming language." We also look at the marginal value of a few programming languages in terms of skill premiums over time, to get a better picture of how they are progressing through their lifecycles. Finally, we explore some reasons these skills may be considered valuable and why some may be more valuable than others.
The Lifecycle of a Programming Language
A programming language 'lifecycle' follows four distinct phases of growth:
Do You Know What You're Worth?
GET A FREE PAY REPORT
Stage 1: The Formative Years
A new programming language is created to solve issues with a legacy programming language.
Stage 2: Young Adulthood
A community develops around the new programming language and applies the programming language to a variety of real world projects.
Stage 3: Middle Age
The programming language is incorporated in business products and programmers learn the language for their jobs. The programming language is quickly becoming an essential skill.
Stage 4: Retirement
The programming language has become dominant and is considered universally known. New programming languages pop up to address issues with the legacy programming language.
Frequently, software engineers run up against issues resulting from the intrinsic design of a legacy programming language. Consequently, programmers will sometimes set out to solve these legacy issues by creating a new language. These languages will typically be open-source projects shaped and nurtured by a small but passionate group of developers.
As an example, Crystal is a language with the motto, "as fast as C, as slick as Ruby." While scripting in Crystal is not designed to be compatible with Ruby, the syntax is similar and is much more readable for newcomers. In essence, Crystal solves Ruby's issues around speed and eases onboarding for new programmers thanks to its Ruby-esque readability.
Once the developers of a new language convince enough people their language actually solves the legacy issues it purports to, users leverage the new language to find solutions to real world problems. Suddenly, it's a language suitable for productization and is worth the time and money to leverage in business. At this stage, the language develops a community of users broader than just its founding developers and interested academics. Here the new programming language is still young, with a scarcity of power users, but is mature enough to be reasonable for use in a business setting.
Contemporary examples of Stage 2 programming languages include Scala, Groovy and Go. All of these are fairly young programming languages, but they have a broader base of users becoming proficient as they have made their way into the workplace. At this stage we would expect to see boosts in salary premiums for programmers with these programming skills, commensurate to their increased demand.
Using PayScale's Compensation Model, we see these skills currently have a positive impact on pay. Programmers with knowledge of Scala and Go see a salary premiums of 21.7 and 21.6 percent, respectively. Groovy programmers see a more modest 4.6 percent premium. These three languages represent only 0.9 percent of all respondents in 2018. That relative scarcity, which has not kept up with increasing demand for these skills, is likely the explanation for the premiums.
Eventually, a programming language may be so widely adopted it becomes an essential skill for a group of jobs. To reach this stage, it must be used in various ways by a significant number of real world projects. Once the language has proven its usefulness and becomes valuable in the marketplace, programmers start to learn these language not because they want to build something new, but as a requirement to advance their careers or to earn higher pay. In this stage you also start to see the absolute number of users of the language increase dramatically over a relatively short period of time. Two languages currently in Stage 3 are JavaScript and Python.
JavaScript is an advanced language that generally works alongside HTML and allows Web pages to be significantly more dynamic. Incorporating JavaScript into a webpage allows new forms of user interactivity that was not previously available in HTML. As a result, JavaScript now forms the backbone for most modern Web pages.
Python, on the other hand, is a general purpose language that enables users to accomplish a wide variety of tasks. Through different packages, such as Django and Pandas, Python can be used for anything from web app development to advanced data science.
Because these languages add critical utility for users across a variety of projects, they have become widely adopted and are essential skills for many programming roles. Accordingly, we have seen significant growth in the number of respondents to the PayScale Salary Survey listing these skills since 2015. JavaScript users have seen 3.1 percent growth while Python users have seen a 5.9 percent growth over the same period relative to other programming languages.
The tech world moves at a startlingly fast pace. In no time, software engineers quickly begin pushing the limits of a programming language's architecture. For example, C# requires the entire code to be compiled for any minor change, which dramatically increases the time it takes to accomplish a task. As a result, newer languages solve for this and similar deficiencies and become more widely used over time. This cycle has persisted across the entire history of computer programming.
HTML, C#, PHP and VB.Net are a few languages that are likely in or close to being at Stage 4. Unsurprisingly, they resulted in marginal or even negative salary premiums between 2015 and 2018. Additionally, just 19.9 percent of total respondents to the PayScale Salary Survey in 2018 listed one of these languages on their profile. Between 2017 and 2018, the number of respondents with HTML as their top programming skill fell by 5.4 percent as a share of all skill observations in our sample.
Net users of other once-popular languages, such as C#, PHP and VB, fell as well – 16.3, 29.5 and 72.8 percent respectively. The drop in respondents listing these languages among their skills, along with the lack of a significant pay premium, suggests these skills are not as marketable for today's programmers. While they may still be needed to complete common job tasks, they are not considered differentiators, and it is unlikely these languages will boost pay for future programmers.
The Value of a Programming Language Changes Over Time
To see the lifecycle in action, we can look at how the pay premium for a programming skill changes over time. Leveraging PayScale's predictive compensation model,1 we calculated the skill premium, or what compensation professionals call the skill differential, for 19 programming languages between 2015 and 2018. This is the percent difference between two people's salary who are identical in everything but having this one skill.
Generally, PayScale does not collect enough data on Stage 1 programming languages simply because there are not enough users to show up in a statistically significant fashion within our database. However, we do see the presence of Stage 2 programming languages such as Scala and Go, both of which have extremely large skill premiums associated with them. Stage 3 programming languages like Python show a continuous positive impact on skill premiums, driven by demand for Python users by almost all tech savvy firms. Finally, Stage 4 programming languages such as HTML and PHP both show a consistent negative impact on estimated wage. This may be because these programming languages have transitioned over to being more of an assumed skill, with many programmers having familiarity in those languages.
Of course, not all programming languages fall neatly into our 'lifecycle' framework. For example, R is statistical in nature and more research-oriented than Python, which is its direct competitor in some respects. Over the past few years the estimated skill premium for R has decreased from 4.5 percent to 2.3 percent, a decrease that could be explained in part by the proliferation of Python. However, given R's unique nature and specific uses, it's not likely R will transition into a broadly known language typical of other Stage 4 firms. Instead, R will likely continue to be a niche language beloved by academics, researchers and yours truly.
All Skills Have a Lifecycle and Constantly Evolve
This article focused on programming skills over time, but there is value in thinking about how other skills change over time. Even soft skills, such as project management or public speaking, are evolving to be more specialized. For example, project management can now encompass specific skills such as agile software development. Similarly, an understanding of a technical skill such as data visualization can help a public speaker become a much more effective communicator and presenter.
These soft skills may not become out of date as quickly as programming skills, but it is likely they will also evolve as people come to adjust their expectations in the modern economy. Being flexible and agile, while keeping abreast of trends, can help you stay ahead of the pack.
This report is based on responses to PayScale's salary survey from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2018.
In addition to being able to select skills that are populated based on their job title, respondents can report skills in an open-response box. Respondents can report more than one skill, but are not required to report skills in order to complete the survey. We have reported skills that only have 40 or more observations. Percentages are based on the number of respondents reporting one of the mentioned skills.
Skill Premium: The percent increase/decrease in pay associated with a given skill. The skill premium is measured using PayScale's proprietary compensation model.
Year Number of Observations
2015 109,000

Bored of swiping? We certainly were. We didn't like how most dating apps left it to pot luck and repetitive use that you'd meet your type. So we thought we change the game. No gimmicks. No biggie. Oh, and it's totally free to use.
What if you were able to choose the type of person you wanted to date based on physical attributes – just like in the real world? To search and to be searched for within one platform? Well, now you can.
The type dating app gives you total control over the kind of profile you see. Is height a thing for you? No sweat. Want tattoos? We've got you covered. None of the above? Don't fret. Body type? Nationality? Hair colour? Religion? Piercings? Hey, it's your app – make the choices YOU want.
Before any match happens, you'll know about it. So don't worry about those unwanted messages from matches that really weren't meant to be. There are no time restrictions, no location based suggestions, and we've avoided swiped based technologies because, let's face it, finding love isn't a game.
It was super important for us to make an app that was open to everyone. And we mean everyone. Be you straight, gay, trans or identify yourself as something that doesn't have a conventional label, we want you to find love and we want you to find it with our app.
We've also built in clever mechanisms that allow everyone to be protected from unwanted searches. So whatever your type, you'll find it – or maybe they'll find you. Remember, everybody's somebody's type.

How are obsolete products handled?
Whenever possible, we will announce products that are being made obsolete with a 3-month Last-Time-Buy (LTB) window - effectively 3 month's notice before a product is made obsolete.
If stock still remains after those three months, the remaining product may still be available for sale for a little while longer (depending on the volume left and the reason for obsolescence).
There are some instances where a product may be given a shorter LTB period - or may have no LTB at all. This will usually be because a product has not sold for a very long time, and an LTB opportunity is unnecessary. However, there may be occasions where no LTB is given due to exceptional circumstances.
When a product is made obsolete, we will send an Obsolescence Notification to all authorized distributors, and to those who have registered for notifications directly from us. You can register for notifications on our Product Change Notification form. Please note, we are unable to accept requests to be registered for certain products only.
The website will be updated with the date of obsolescence. You can see a typical example on the obsolete item M20-9701006.
If you need assistance on products already made obsolete, please see our FAQ on obsolete product information.
If you have any questions on the obsolescence process or any Obsolescence Notifications you have received, please contact the Technical Team.

"Outstanding Universal Value means cultural and/or natural significance which is so exceptional as to transcend national boundaries and to be of common importance for present and future generations of all humanity. As such, the permanent protection of this heritage is of the highest importance to the international community as a whole. The Committee defines the criteria for the inscription of properties on the World Heritage List."
Theme: 2.2.1 - Outstanding Universal Value: definition and attributes
"To be deemed of Outstanding Universal Value, a property must also meet the conditions of integrity and/or authenticity and must have an adequate protection and management system to ensure its safeguarding."
Decision of the World Heritage Committee 30 COM 9
3. "[The World Heritage Committee], conscious that outstanding universal value is a concept that shall embrace all cultures, regions and peoples, and does not ignore differing cultural interpretations of outstanding universal value because they originate from minorities, indigenous groups and/or local peoples,
4. Recognises that the identification of outstanding universal value on the basis of the established criteria needs to be analysed also in their cultural and natural context, and that in some instances, the tangible and intangible interpretations cannot be separated."
Decision: 30 COM 9
9. "[The World Heritage Committee] reinforces the rigorous, objective and consistent application of the three key tests to determine Outstanding Universal Value as set out in the Operational Guidelines:
a) the property must meet one or more of the 10 criteria (Paragraph 77);
b) the property must meet the conditions of integrity and/or authenticity (Paragraphs 79/95); and
c) the property must have an adequate protection and management system in place to ensure its safeguarding (Paragraph 78)."
3. "[The World Heritage Committee considers that], in compliance with the Convention and the Operational Guidelines, Outstanding Universal Value is recognised at the time of inscription of a property on the World Heritage List and that no recognition of Outstanding Universal Value is foreseen prior to this stage (…)."
5. "[The World Heritage Committee] Also recalling that the Operational Guidelines set out the conditions for inscription on the World Heritage List, strongly reiterates that only meeting criteria is not enough to warrant inscription, as to be deemed of Outstanding Universal Value a site must also meet the conditions of integrity (and authenticity) and must have an adequate protection and management system to ensure its safeguarding, as outlined in paragraph 78 of the Operational Guidelines;"
"The purpose of a management system is to ensure the effective protection of the nominated property for present and future generations."
"An effective management system depends on the type, characteristics and needs of the nominated property and its cultural and natural context. Management systems may vary according to different cultural perspectives, the resources available and other factors. They may incorporate traditional practices, existing urban or regional planning instruments, and other planning control mechanisms, both formal and informal. Impact assessments for proposed interventions are essential for all World Heritage properties."
"In recognizing the diversity mentioned above, common elements of an effective management system could include:
a) a thorough shared understanding of the property, its universal, national and local values and its socio-ecological context by all stakeholders, including local communities and indigenous peoples;
b) a respect for diversity, equity, gender equality and human rights and the use of inclusive and participatory planning and stakeholder consultation processes;
c) a cycle of planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and feedback;
d) an assessment of the vulnerabilities of the property to social, economic, environmental and other pressures and changes, including disasters and climate change, as well as the monitoring of the impacts of trends and proposed interventions;
e) the development of mechanisms for the involvement and coordination of the various activities between different partners and stakeholders;
f) the allocation of necessary resources;
g) capacity building;
h) an accountable, transparent description of how the management system functions."
"Effective management involves a cycle of short, medium and long-term actions to protect, conserve and present the nominated property. An integrated approach to planning and management is essential to guide the evolution of properties over time and to ensure maintenance of all aspects of their Outstanding Universal Value. This approach goes beyond the property to include any buffer zone(s), as well as the broader setting. The broader setting may relate to the property's topography, natural and built environment, and other elements such as infrastructure, land use patterns, spatial organization, and visual relationships. It may also include related social and cultural practices, economic processes and other intangible dimensions of heritage such as perceptions and associations. Management of the broader setting is related to its role in supporting the Outstanding Universal Value. Its effective management may also contribute to sustainable development, through harnessing the reciprocal benefits for heritage and society."
"States Parties are responsible for implementing effective management activities for a World Heritage property. States Parties should do so in close collaboration with property managers, the agency with management authority and other partners, local communities and indigenous peoples, rights-holders and stakeholders in property management, by developing, when appropriate, equitable governance arrangements, collaborative management systems and redress mechanisms."
"The Committee recommends that States Parties include disaster, climate change and other risk preparedness as an element in their World Heritage site management plans and training strategies."
"A minor modification is one which has not a significant impact on the extent of the property nor affects its Outstanding Universal Value."
Theme: 2.2.6.3 - Minor modifications to the boundaries
"If a State Party wishes to request a minor modification to the boundaries of a property already on the World Heritage List, it must be prepared in compliance with the format of Annex 11 and must be received by 1 February by the Committee through the Secretariat, which will seek the evaluation of the relevant Advisory Bodies on whether this can be considered a minor modification or not. The Secretariat shall then submit the Advisory Bodies' evaluation to the World Heritage Committee. The Committee may approve such a modification, or it may consider that the modification to the boundary is sufficiently significant as to constitute a significant boundary modification of the property, in which case the procedure for new nominations will apply."
"If a State Party wishes to significantly modify the boundary of a property already on the World Heritage List, the State Party shall submit this proposal as if it were a new nomination (including the requirement to be previously included on the Tentative List – see paragraph 63 and 65). This re-nomination shall be presented by 1 February and will be evaluated in the full year and a half cycle of evaluation according to the procedures and timetable outlined in paragraph 168. This provision applies to extensions, as well as reductions."
Theme: 2.2.6.4 - Significant modifications to the boundaries
Decision of the World Heritage Committee CONF 016 VI.18-20
19. "(...)
(e) States Parties may propose in a single nomination a series of cultural properties in different geographical locations, provided that they are related because they belong : (i) to the same historico-cultural group or (ii) to the same type of property which is characteristic of the geographical zone and provided that it is the series as such and not its components taken individually, which is of outstanding universal value."
Decision: 4 COM VI.18-20
2. "[The World Heritage Committee notes] that some large complex serial transnational nominations may benefit from an agreed nomination strategy before their official submission, (…);
5. [The World Heritage Committee] emphasizes that, if and when, it takes note of a nomination strategy, this is not prejudicial and does not imply that the complex serial transnational nominations proposed would necessarily lead to an inscription on the World Heritage List."
"Cultural landscapes are cultural properties and represent the "combined works of nature and of man" designated in Article 1 of the Convention. They are illustrative of the evolution of human society and settlement over time, under the influence of the physical constraints and/or opportunities presented by their natural environment and of successive social, economic and cultural forces, both external and internal."
Theme: 2.7.4.1 - General
Annex 3
7. "[Cultural Landscapes] … should be selected on the basis both of their Outstanding Universal Value and of their representativity in terms of a clearly defined geo‑cultural region and also for their capacity to illustrate the essential and distinct cultural elements of such regions".
9. "Cultural landscapes often reflect specific techniques of sustainable land‑use, considering the characteristics and limits of the natural environment they are established in, and a specific spiritual relation to nature. Protection of cultural landscapes can contribute to modern techniques of sustainable land‑use and can maintain or enhance natural values in the landscape. The continued existence of traditional forms of land‑use supports biological diversity in many regions of the world".
The World Heritage committee recommends addressing landscape surveys and the historic evolution of the landscape, as a holistic reflection of history and cultural traditions and of the interaction between culture and nature, including the way the landscape has been shaped by human practices and natural resources (based on Case law on decisions on Nominations).
Decision of the World Heritage Committee 29 COM 5D
"The World Heritage Committee, (…)
4. Encourages States Parties to integrate the notion of historic urban landscape in nomination proposals and in the elaboration of management plans of properties nominated for inscription on the World Heritage List;
5. Also encourages States Parties to integrate the principles expressed in the Vienna Memorandum into their heritage conservation policies;
6. Requests the Advisory Bodies and the World Heritage Centre to take into account the conservation of the historic urban landscape when reviewing any potential impact on the integrity of an existing World Heritage property, and during the nomination evaluation process of new sites."
Theme: 2.7.4.2 - Historic Urban Landscapes
Decision: 29 COM 5D

Q: How can I pause a Scrapy when I meet website blocking? I use scrapy to crawl user pages in 'douban.com'.
And I have 2W users in my database, I need to crawl all of these independant users' pages.
But problem is that sometimes the website would block my crawler, and if I immediate notice, I can manually shutdown the spider by Ctrl+C and restart the spider and keep going.
In the way of simulating this behaviour I meet a lot of problems, I have two idea which is shown below:

*

*pause the spider inside scrapy
Detect 403 page since it's the sign of being blocked.
Adding these code in parse function:

if response.status == 403:
    reactor.callLater(0, lambda: time.sleep(60))

This is not working, because sleep doesnt cause connections close, no matter how long it sleep, it won't be the same as manually restart the spider.

*split the start_urls and start spiders one by one
Since one start_url stands for one user, I split this start_urls list and put it in different spider.
Then I start the spider by script (http://doc.scrapy.org/en/0.24/topics/practices.html#run-from-script)
And then I find out that twisted reactor CAN NOT be restart!

So I have no idea of how to pause the scrapy totally and automatically restart it.

A: You can use errback of scarpy requests, like this
    return Request(url, callback=parse, errback=error_handler)

and define your error handler like this
    def error_handler(self, failure):
        time.sleep(time_to_sleep) //time in seconds
        //after time expires, send next request

it will handle all response statuses other than 200.

Morocco: Mediation guide introduced in divorce cases
BY	Niels Bak Henriksen
The outcome of a year-long collaboration was introduced this week in Morocco.
In a collaboration between KVINFO, the Danish state administration and Institut Superièure Magistrature, which educates Moroccan judges, these have been trained in mediation in divorce cases.
Their experiences have been put together in a mediation guide that will be used throughout the Moroccan legal system. The guide was introduced at a ceremony on Monday May 15th.
The background for the project is the Moroccan family law from 2004, which gave women much better rights than before. E.g. they obtained the right to get a divorce. Furthermore, obligatory mediation has been introduced in divorce cases among others.
However, these laws were not always implemented and mediation has often taken the form of the administration trying to convince the woman to stay in the marriage. The collaboration between the Danish and Moroccan partners has had the goal to ensure a real, impartial mediation and thus strengthen the rights of women, particularly. At the same time, the Danish state administration gained valuable insights into the mindset of Moroccan immigrants here.
At the ceremony, development consultant and mediation expert Leise Døllner from the Danish state administration explained their work with mediation in divorce cases in Morocco. The purpose of mediation is to reach a common understanding and that both parties' interests and rights are respected, regardless of the outcome.
At the event both judges and other representatives of the judicial system were present, as well as local journalists, the Danish ambassador Jørgen Molde and representatives from the project partners, KVINFO, the state administration and Institut Superièure de la Magistrature.

Twitter Hat-Tricks With New "Explore" Section
Twitter has been on a role lately. They have been churning out new features like crazy. The first two features included a much needed search feature and a Gmail contact import feature. Well, now there are even more new things coming to Twitter. TechCrunch reports that tomorrow morning a new set of features are being added to Twitter. But they are actually functional right now. The new features were available tonight for a short period of time but then were disabled and replaced with a "Launching Soon!" banner.
The features are part of the new Explore section of Twitter, which is sponsered by Motorola. Within Explore, there are tools that allow you to use Twitter with "Other Devices", but there is more to it than just devices (see screen shot, courtesy of TechCrunch). A very interesting feature called Blocks allows you to interactively navigate through a 3-dimensional animation of twitter updates. I was able to play with it a little bit before it went down. This is a very cool feature and I don't even use Twitter! And it looks like they will be launching more new features under Explore, judging by the description of the new area: "and watch this space, because even we don't know what might show up next!" I may reconsider using Twitter with all of the new (an upcoming) features being launched.…

The Clash of Globalizations
Kevin P. Gallagher - Anthem Press
Bringing together a series of essays on the political economy of trade and development policy, this book explores the factors that have led to twenty-first-century trade politics being characterized as a "clash of globalizations."
Collecting and synthesizing a series of essays on the political economy of trade and development policy, this book explores the following research questions: to what extent is the global trading regime reducing the ability of nation-states to pursue policies for financial stability and economic growth; and what political factors explain such changes in policy space over time, across different types of trade treaties and across nations? Gallagher presents intriguing findings on the policy constraints on the Uruguay Round, as well as the significant restrictions that the USA places upon the ability of developing nations to deploy a range of development strategies for stability and growth.
Analyzing the factors that have led to twenty-first-century trade politics being characterized by a "clash of globalizations," this volume explores the role of economic power, institutional structure, domestic politics, currency fluctuations and ideas about globalization in effecting changes to global trade policies.

PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Fifteen years ago I had the privilege of being a student of the late Alice Amsden. We were reading her working manuscript for what was to become her opus book,the Rest: Challenges to the West from Late IndustrializingThe Rise of Economies. That book showed how, borrowing from the West, the most successful developing countries mixed government policy with market forces to transform their economies from rural ones to global export powerhouses. Her book echoed and was echoed by superscholars such as Peter Evans, Dani Rodrik and Robert Wade to name but a few. I dedicate this book to Alice's memory. She passed away, too early, while the manuscript was under preparation. At the time of Amsden's class I was writing a dissertation on the United States' trade policy, looking specifically at the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Week after week as we analyzed scholarship about these policies that were so successful in East Asia and beyond I kept saying to myself, "Hey, you couldn't do that under NAFTA." Over the course of the first decade of the new century then, while working on a different core research agenda I slowly chipped away conducting indepth analyses examining the extent to which emerging market and developing nations could use specific policies that had been used by others. At first, such analyses were often engagements with the legal literature, pinpointing policies and examining whether new laws and codes would still permit them. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 of this book are updated versions of those attempts to make sense of the seemingly conflicting regimes of national development policy and the trading system. I also edited a book in 2005 titledPutting Development First: The Need for Policy Space in the WTO and International Financial Institutions. As this work started to gain attention, in both policy and academic circles, I started to encounter the following question: if these policies are so bad then why are nations signing on to them? This set of questions led to an engagement with the literature in international political economy. Robert Wade, who contributed a landmark article to that 2005 book, put me in touch with Kenneth Shadlen, also at the London School of Economics.
Ken's scholarship sparked the thinking that went into Chapters 5 and 6 of this volume. Chapter 5 examines the politics of the WTO around these issues, and Chapter 6 confronts that question head on and explains why some nations have signed trade agreements that run counter to their longrun economic interests. The chapters in this book then are revised and slightly updated versions of articles written during the first decade of this century – and they examine the political economy of trade and development policy at the turn of the century. In addition to thanking the scholars just mentioned for their inspiration, curiosity and guidance, I also thank the following journals and institutes for publishing work that at the time seemed out of the ordinary. Earlier versions of this work have been published inInternational Political EconomyReview of ,New Political Economy,Global Policyand theInternational Law and PolicyDenver Journal of . In addition, the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development in Geneva and also published versions of some of these chapters as discussion papers. I am particularly indebted to Rachel Denae Thrasher, who coauthored what is now Chapter 4 with me. Rachel is a lawyer and teaming up with her helped me really understand trade law and its application. What I learned from her helped guide me through other topics later on. As time went by, with the encouragement of others I came to realize that these articles and studies added up to a bigger picture. That is what has led to collecting them all in this book. Chapter 1 pulls all the books findings and political economy insights into a whole and envelops the volume. The next three chapters are analyses that examine the extent to which nations have surrendered policy space for various development policies through their trade commitments. Chapter 2 examines the ability to regulate crossborder finance, Chapter 3 discusses sovereign debt restructuring and Chapter 4 (with Rachel) examines industrial policy. Chapters 5 and 6 look at the political economy dynamics that led to those outcomes. Chapter 7 looks to the future and presents the elements of a more developmentfriendly trading system. I have already thanked Alice Amsden, Peter Evans, Dani Rodrik and Robert Wade for their early work that inspired mine, and Kenneth Shadlen and Rachel Thrasher for helping me think about and analyze that earlier work in a twenty firstcentury context. There are many more who I have known, worked with and learned from on these issues, including Nagesh Kumar, HaJoon Chang, Alisa DiCaprio, Ricardo MelendezOrtiz, Werner Corrales, Martin Khor, Joel Trachtman, Lori Wallach, Sarah Anderson and many others. Much of this work was supported by the Global Development and Environment (GDAE) institute from grants by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the C. S. Mott Foundation.

CG Says: The 2019 Lincoln Navigator is little changed after last year's redesign. Lincoln Co-Pilot 360 (including autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind-spot alert, lane-keep assist, driver alert system, and adaptive cruise control) is now standard on all models. Like its Ford Expedition counterpart, the Lincoln Navigator full-size SUV was redesigned from the ground up for 2018. Chief among the improvements are weight-saving aluminum alloy body panels, a revised engine that puts out significantly more horsepower, a 10-speed automatic transmission in place of the previous 6-speed, a dazzling new interior, and a host of new technology features. As before, standard-length models and extended-length "L" models are available. The model lineup ascends through Base, Select, Reserve, and Black Label (the Base model is standard-length only). The sole engine on all is a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 that puts out 450 horsepower. As mentioned, a 10-speed automatic is now standard; the Reserve and line-topping Black Label trims come standard with all-wheel drive, and the others offer AWD or rear-wheel drive. Available features include 30-way adjustable "Perfect Position" heated/cooled/massaging front seats, panoramic sunroof, wireless device charging, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, and specially-themed interiors in the Black Label edition. The redesigned Lincoln Navigator is a lot more expensive than its predecessor, but it's also markedly more powerful, luxurious, and cutting-edge than before—and a much more compelling choice when compared against its similarly extravagant class rivals.

My research explores the intersections between narrative and food in 19th century America in order to better understand how dietary preference operated as a locus of identity, both individual and communal. I am particularly interested in bringing into focus the ways that the myriad food cultures found the United States during the 19th century shaped and were shaped by literary texts, specifically in their engagements with the realms of the spiritual, the supernatural, and the ghostly.

One of Mish's trademarks is to speak with knowledgeable people in various subject areas, and report on what they said.
Jacob Dreizin, a US citizen who speaks Russian and reads Ukrainian provided this update three hours ago.
At least one other clip of the "Russian Buk" that has been made available also suggests that the Ukrainians are showing their own equipment. I'm still working on researching that one for you.
It is beyond incredibly sloppy for Ukraine to release such a video with a clear billboard of something in Ukraine-held territory, purportedly showing a Buk missile launcher headed back to Russia.
And we are supposed to believe Kiev? Kerry?
Please be serious. If you are really interested in the truth, you do not resort to such easily disproved and sloppy bullsheet.
This is – of course – not the first piece of video "evidence" trumpeted by the MSM which has been debunked.
