Lake Jocassee Tours Offers First Sunday Expeditions with Patrick McMillan
For 13 years, professional naturalist, biologist and educator Patrick McMillan has been taking PBS television viewers on exotic adventures across North and South America, introducing them along the way to an amazing array of wildlife and botanical wonders.
Among his favorite destinations is South Carolina's Jocassee Gorges, a unique and unspoiled wilderness nestled in the rugged mountains of the Blue Ridge Escarpment.
"It's a place of astounding diversity," said the Emmy Award-winning host and co-creator of "Expeditions with Patrick McMillan."
"There are 64 species of salamanders in the gorges - more than in all of the Great Smoky Mountains. You'll find a tropical fern that doesn't grow in any other place in North America. Nowhere else in the world will you see nine species of trillium on one slope of a mountain."
Located less than an hour from Clemson University where McMillan serves as the Hilliard Professor of Environmental Sustainability, Jocassee Gorges is a never-ending source of discovery with its lush forestlands, abundance of waterfalls and temperate microclimate. Several episodes of McMillan's nature program have focused on the many rare plants found in the gorges' diverse habitats.
"Every day is different," McMillan said. "No matter how many times I visit, I seem to discover something new."
The public now has the opportunity to join McMillan as he explores Lake Jocassee, a cold, crystal-clear reservoir on the western edge of the Jocassee Gorges. Lake Jocassee Tours offers excursions with the TV host the first Sunday of each month.
Much like McMillan's nature programs, the four-hour boat trips are as entertaining as they are educational. On one of his expeditions in the late spring, he captivated the dozen guests on the tour with his extraordinary depth of knowledge and infectious excitement of the natural world.
The first stop on the tour was a sheer rock wall rising 100 feet above the water. Some 40 years ago, Duke Power dynamited the side of the mountain, using the quarried rock to build the lake's earthen dam.
Because the sun never shines on a large section of the wall, subtropical ferns are able to grow in the crevices. Within minutes of arriving at the massive rock face, McMillan had pointed out five different species, all recently colonized.
Traveling across the lake to a shaded cove, he introduced the group to a viburnum called wild raisin.
"In the fall, it produces a smell like a dog has taken a poop in the woods," said McMillan, who serves as director of the South Carolina Botanical Garden, Bob Campbell Geology Museum and Clemson Experimental Forest.
The botanical show-and-tell included more than a dozen different shrubs, plants and trees, each with its own curious story or scientific nugget.
Riding around the lake, enveloped by the stunning scenery of the densely forested mountains, it's easy to understand why this remote undeveloped land has enchanted McMillan for so many decades.
An accomplished birder, he got excited to see two loons in full mating plumage swimming in the water. The birds, he explained, have difficulty walking on land, so they create floating nests out of vegetation.
At one stop, where the group stepped ashore to take a short walk through the woods, McMillan identified a number of birds by their call. He devoted an entire show in his nature series to the sounds of birds.
"It's how we survey birds," he said. "Often times you don't see them, you hear them."
Upon identifying the call of a yellow-throated warbler, he began scanning the tree tops with his binoculars to try to find the elusive bird.
"I have video of some of the rarest warblers in the world," he said, "but I haven't been able to capture the yellow-throated warbler, even though it's the most widespread warbler in South Carolina."
Lake Jocassee Tours launches from the dock at Devils Fork State Park in Salem, South Carolina. To reserve a seat on one of the First Sunday Expeditions with Patrick McMillan, call 864.280.5501 or visit www.jocasseelaketours.com.

Welcome to Writing Excuses Season 7!
Let's start with a trip to the dark side! How do you take a good character and make them evil? And why would you want to do this? Brandon, Dan, Mary, and Howard answer that second question first, and then walk you through the process of doing this. We cover establishing the character, venturing onto a slippery slope, and connecting these and other elements to important pieces of the story.
We talk about the types of "evil" a character can fall into, using character examples like Oedipus, Othello, Boromir, and Doctor Horrible, and how you might incorporate tragic flaws into their downward-trending paths. Finally, we offer examples where we've seen it done poorly. Hello, Anakin!
Come up with a list of three things that are important to your main character. Push one of those things out of alignment so that it will draw your character to the antagonist's side.
Let's face it. The characters in your book will do some dumb things. We're here to help you make sure they do those dumb things for the right reasons.
Brandon, Dan, Mary, and Howard talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of dumb, and how you as an author can write dumb smart. Or smartly write dumb. Something like that.
Audiobook Pick-of-the-Week: Variant, by Robison Wells, narrated by Michael Goldstrom.
Writing Prompt: Create a solid romance in which the characters cannot be together because of good, intelligent, character-driven reasons.

Q: Content-Disposition Considered Harmful? I am currently working on a WCF service that returns a file based on a HTTP GET request. The main concept of the service goes like this:
public Stream MyGetMethod()
{
    // Fetch the file
    byte[] myFile = FetchMyFile();

    // Set the name of the file using Content-Disposition
    WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse
       .Headers.Add("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=MyFile");

    // Return the file
    return new MemoryStream(myFile);
}

I use the Content-Disposition header to tell the browser that it should name the file MyFile and that it should show a SaveAs dialog (the attachment part).
While this works, I have been reading some bad things about Content-Disposition.
RFC2616 states:

RFC 1806 [35], from which the often implemented Content-Disposition (see section 19.5.1) header in HTTP is derived, has a number of very serious security considerations. Content-Disposition is not part of the HTTP standard, but since it is widely implemented, we are documenting its use and risks for implementors. See RFC 2183 [49] (which updates RFC 1806) for details.

And from RFC2183 I get:

Since this memo provides a way for the sender to suggest a filename,
  a receiving MUA must take care that the sender's suggested filename
  does not represent a hazard. Using UNIX as an example, some hazards
  would be:

*

*Creating startup files (e.g., ".login").

*Creating or overwriting system files (e.g., "/etc/passwd").

*Overwriting any existing file.

*Placing executable files into any command search path
      (e.g., "~/bin/more").

*Sending the file to a pipe (e.g., "| sh").
In general, the receiving MUA should not name or place the file
  such    that it will get interpreted or executed without the user
  explicitly    initiating the action.

I see there are some serious security aspects in this, but I am not quite sure if this should stop me from using it, like in the WCF service above?
As I see it, I think it should be alright since all the major browsers understand the header, and while the code in the snippet above is that simple, I cannot see how that can ever be a security threat? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks.

A: Its safe to use Content-Disposition, for additional safety, don't allow user to give file-names, or do add some random unique name prefix or sufix or file extension yourself.

The side-event, which took place one day before the High-Level Segment, was opened by a keynote speech of COP24 President H.E. Michał Kurtyka. In his speech, Mr Kurtyka underlined the three key principles of climate policy: security, sustainability and solidarity. He also expressed his support for the climate action process within the Energy Community as a driver contributing to international climate efforts.
The event, chaired by Connie Hedegaard, former EU Commissioner for Climate Action, featured a debate with representatives of Energy Community Contracting Party ministries in charge of climate and energy, the European Commission, partner organizations (IRENA) and civil society, focusing on how to kick-start a viable economic and technological energy transformation in regions with coal mining activities.
Like a number of EU Member States, several Contracting Parties are heavily dependent on coal and are faced with the challenge of replacing their ageing fleet and comply with new, stringent commitments from the acquis (Industrial Emissions Directive and Large Combustion Plants Directive), while at the same time unleashing their huge potential for energy generation from renewables. Panellists explored how social fairness can be reconciled with the ongoing energy transition and emission control legislation.
The side-event was preceded by a meeting of the Energy Community's Energy and Climate Committee and the European Commission, which served to exchange information on the first week of negotiations at COP24 and coordinate on a number of key items of the Paris Agreement Work Programme, such as the enhanced transparency network, the harmonization of reporting requirements and the long-term strategies. The Committee also looked into the outcome of the last Ministerial Council of the Energy Community in Skopje on 29 November 2018 and, in particular, the adopted General Policy Guidelines on 2030 targets for energy and climate.

BDSM Quiz
15 Subs Answer: What's One Thing You Wish You Knew Before Becoming a Submissive?
Every Dom/sub dynamic is unique, which is why every submissive learns different lessons and tips that work best for them. So for this special blog post, I'm bringing in 15 of my favorite submissives in the BDSM community to answer the question, What's one thing you wish you knew before becoming a sub?
Now, all of these submissives are actively living the lifestyle. And in this post they're sharing some of their best advice and lessons that they've learned along the way.
You'll get a taste of a multitude of different perspectives that have allowed them to become their own version of a good sub. From fake doms to kinky empowerment, you'll get insight into it all.
I cannot wait for you to read their brilliance and reflections!
By the way, if you want to learn even MORE about how to become the best submissive you can be, I'm giving away a free cheat sheet where I break down how to be a good sub. Just click here to grab it. I can't wait to see what you think.
Now, let's dive in!
Beware of the fakes
"I wish I knew that males like the idea of being a Dom, but few actually want to do the work. Take the sex out and a lot just flounder and don't know what to do." – Sully, Beautifully Bound
"It's not a utopia. Kinksters talk big about important things like consent and negotiation, but there are good and bad people just like there are in any other walk of life. Some people have bad intentions, and sometimes people with good intentions f*ck up. So we have to keep our eyes open and use our judgement, not just blindly trust everyone who labels themselves 'kinky'." – Amy, Coffee and Kink

"I wish I knew more about how deep consent goes. And I wish more people got educated about how deep and how far that word goes. As it has allowed me to explore more, be more confident and comfortable with 'new to me' kinks in a D/s relationship." – Slur7777, on Instagram
"Informed consent. We've all heard of consent but informed consent is critical, especially for beginners. As a newbie submissive, one might give consent in the excitement of the moment (e.g. in sub frenzy) and not really know towards what it is that they are consenting. This can be easily avoided by not falling prey to the ridiculous notion that a "good submissive is seen, not heard" and instead ask a LOT of questions." – Daphne, Master Arcane

Navigating different dynamics
"It is alright to know what you need from a Dominant. I wish that I had taken the time to figure out what kind of Dominance would feed my submission. Knowing that in advance would have allowed me to better understand what kind of Dominant was a good fit for my submission. Once I have entered a dynamic I want to submit fully and to do that I need to be able to express my needs before the dynamic has begun." – Claire, Wicked Grounds
"How polyamory is supposed to work, and how deeply painful it can be when it doesn't. I fell hard for the Dominant who became my Master, and polyamory was required. My personality and that of his primary never meshed, and I don't think either of us was/is truly poly "at heart." I don't think it can work if everyone isn't wholeheartedly working for the same things. You can be deeply, madly in thrall to someone — but that doesn't mean he's worth the sacrifices of polyamory." – Kate Kinsey, author and educator
"I thought I had to blindly follow the Dom and never show any sign of initiative or personal preference. That resulted in less than optimal sessions because I was afraid it was 'topping from the bottom.' Constant requests actually do end up topping from the bottom because the sub in essence is trying to lead the relationship. However, an occasional request when needed is allowed and can be necessary for a better experience for both parties." – Emily, The BDSM Coaches

Every submissive is unique
"I really wish I had known that kink comes in so many shapes and sizes. When I first started exploring, I was under the impression that all kink looked the same, that if you wanted to do X, you had to do Y. I spent a lot of time trying to force myself into molds and boxes because that is 'what subs do'. Now I know that BDSM is so much more bespoke than I thought, and it's given me freedom and more fulfilling relationships since I had that realization." – Evie Lupine, BDSM peer educator
"I think one thing I wish I knew was that it's all perfectly normal to want to become a sub and have different fetishes than other people. You don't have to be the same as others that you watch and read about, as everyone has different fetishes and it's normal." – Rich, Submissive Blog
See the ultimate guide to being a submissive here »
Learning what submission really involves
"I wish I had known just how much work it would be. All the fiction I devoured about the kinky sex and dungeon play never prepared me for being in a D/s relationship. Being a submissive is not about the time spent in bed or tied to a piece of BDSM furniture. Being a submissive is about working in concert with your partner to build a D/s relationship that is future proof. And that is rewarding and challenging work, indeed." – Luna, Submissive Reflection
"Something I wish I knew before becoming a sub is how nurturing submission can feel. Before going there, I thought submission looked like abuse, but there's a lot of empowerment and safety that can come from it." –Anne, Medium
"What I wish I knew before choosing to embrace my submissive side, is that submission begins in the mind, and is not something to be applied from the outside." – Lola, Kink Lovers

Finally discovering the lifestyle
"I wish I'd known being submissive was possible. Recognizing my need for submission was a light bulb moment. All the things I thought were "wrong" with me actually had a name and there were others just like me. I wish I'd known in those early days that submission can be whatever works for you and a partner. It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else, even other submissives." –Kayla Lords, Loving BDSM
"Transitioning from a vanilla marriage is tough!! Letting go of old habits and practicing mindfulness 24/7 was the toughest part. Dom Sub Training helped me focus on the importance of showing Sir each and every day how much this life means to me." – Tina, Dom Sub Training member

And the one thing I wish I knew before becoming a submissive
"I wish I knew how powerful being a submissive is. In the beginning I thought subs were weak, broken creatures that needed a Dom to 'fix' them. That couldn't be farther than the truth. Submission allows a person to gain control and stability over their lives. While a good Dom can help guide them to become the best version of themselves, submitting is still a choice. Knowing that I chose to be a submissive is extremely empowering." –Alesandra (learn more about me here)

I wish I would have known how to show my family that I am not manipulated, on the contrary. I had a backlog because my ex sent a very negative letter to my mom, mother in law and sisters where he gave his opinion.
I suffered a lot from trying to make it up- but in the end it was all about following my heart and daring to do that even while being judged. BTW- the answer is- don't. They won't believe you anyway.
the second thing I would have loved to know upfront is that there is not right or wrong- we have a relationship that is different from anyone else's, and that's ok. I tried to fit in- and even more so, tried to fit my Master in, and it was such hard work- and so unnecessary. Maybe we don't use the right words, or the right symbols. But it's ok. This is who WE are. And we thrive. That's what counts.
Elenor says:
I wish I had known that many people outside of your relationship would try to force their idea of what D/s looks like and that ultimately your full satisfaction only comes from within yourself and your relationship with your partner. We all make our own rules.
Becca Kay says:
I grew up and at an early age began reading books on etiquette. I also followed columns like Mrs. Manners nearly religiously. In my mind, there were certain things that ladies simply didn't do. Coming into this relationship and exploring it with my Master, I had so many preconceived notions about what Slaves did. Add into the mixture my own having to realise that yes, there are certain things ladies CAN do that may not be written down in books, and you end up with me having internal struggles nearly daily.
Fortunately, my Master did a lot of reading (he still does) and he's helped me realise that in the dynamic, that as you stated, Elenor, we all make our own rules. Each dynamic is that of those in it…no one else's. There is no trying to fit a square peg in a circular hole. Instead, there is such a vibrant way to it.
Honestly? I feel a lot more at ease wearing the collar we picked out (he had me look at a few) than I do without it. There is such freedom living the lifestyle I chose in service to my Master.
I wish I had known that it is okay for guys to be subs too. There was always this global idea that guys should be "strong and powerful" and simply put, I wasn't. Eventually I stopped caring what other people think but I still wasn't open about being the way I am.Then a certain girl made me realise that I'm actually a sub, and I enjoy it when a girl takes charge. The whole idea that a guy should always be a dom or take control faded away and I realised that even though I'm a guy, it's okay to be a sub. As numerously mentioned, it's okay to be yourself and everybody has different kinks, so just embrace it even if the world says it's wrong.
I reality is I like being a sub even though I'm a guy. I wish I knew that it was okay to be a sub even as a guy before I realised I'm a sub.
LittlePuppy says:
Growing up in a house hold of religious people and being taught that BDSM and kink is wrong and a sin kinda made me hide the fact I am a sub until I met my daddy and my master. They showed me it's ok to be a sub. I wish I knew that it's a lot of work to follow the rules and listen all the time when your a switch. When working i'm more dominant then submissive when at home i'm more submissive then dominant. If your the same way please tell me do you follow the rules you're given even when in a dominant mood? I tend to try to but normally I can't and i get in trouble.
I wish I'd known that anyone can be a submissive and that they can be the strongest and even dominant people to anyone but their dominant. And that being a headstrong person outside of my relationship didn't make me any less of a submissive

The Rare Skills Set
Deep thoughts on: Identity (Part I)
Posted By: F. Roe on 18th October 2014 under Deep thoughts, Our thoughts
(Image courtesy of S K Signs)
How we define ourselves, both individually and socially, has been an important and recurrent theme in human thought. For philosophers, discussions regarding 'Personal Identity' are still highly poignant, and remain a central topic in contemporary debate. As an organisation, engaging with the concept of identity is also crucial to managing a strong brand. Here and in the pieces that follow, we want to examine this idea and, in the process, demonstrate that it is not as simple as 'painting a picture' of your organisation that you think reflects it best.
We believe that your identity as an organisation is largely constituted of three acutely interrelated features. Far from being merely the sum of your parts, it is the wholly unique way that these are assembled and how they interact with the world around them. More than that, it is the narrative of your organisation; the story that the organisation has written for itself and the way that this is interpreted by others. Additionally, an organisation's identity will involve evolution. It is not simply a case of maintaining the status quo, but continuing that narrative with candour and consistency, whilst ensuring the organisation stays true to its purpose and its values.
Identity is not one-dimensional; it is multi-faceted. When we instantiate the concept in the day-to-day we often fail to grasp its true complexity. You might believe the above characterisation to be too simplistic, or indeed, you may think it too complex! That's great – identity is clearly important to us, and we are all different. Thus in trying to talk about it in a productive manner it is prudent to be as broad as possible. Perhaps then, the three key features of organisational identity outlined above should be seen not as strict parameters that constitute a conclusive definition, but rather, the focal points for an enquiry.

Jessica Maiato, an aspiring, talented 23 year old Choreographer, Dancer, and Creative Artist is our featured Titika Girl for this month. Hard work and sweat aside, it takes a lot of discipline to be where she is at now. In this blog, Jessica shares her journey in choreography and how she balances work and play into a versatile. active. life.
When did you start to dance and what genres of dance do you do?
I started dancing when I was about 4 years old. My lovely mother tricked me into attending a ballet class. The passion was planted in me ever since. I have trained in Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Jazzfunk, Dancehall, and Contemporary. Currently, my two favorite styles to work with are Jazz-Funk and Contemporary.
How did you find your calling to become a Choreographer?
I was always creative from a very young age. At school, I was always the designated person to make up dance routines for all the class mates. It just fell right into my lap – and it was something I was extremely comfortable doing. As I grew up, I continued to further my knowledge so that I could have the ability to create even more.
What does it take if someone is interested to get into this business?
That's a great question. You need to have a great amount of dedication even just for any dancers in general. Everything comes with practice. Just like any other sports, dance is not easy! To keep yourself physically ready and inspired, you have to train consistently. There will be multiple times you feel like giving up. But I have seen through my own eyes – If you persevere, there will always be progress and improvements.
You also have to have "tough skin". As an artist, you have to understand that everyone is always going to have an opinion of his or her own on your work- no matter how great it is. You have to be very careful not to let the opinion of others hinder your creative process.
I have to say I LOVE my smoothies! Always on the go, I rarely have time to make breakfast – but that doesn't mean I skip it! Currently my go to is my peanut butter banana smoothie! Super easy to make: 1 banana, 1-tablespoon peanut butter and 3 cups of almond milk. A good friend of mine Jon Mango - who is an Online Fitness Coach suggested this to me, and it has been my morning routine ever since!
CHOCOLATE. The sad part is, this isn't even a secret…I always have a backup chocolate bar in case of emergencies!
Favorite music when working out?
A lot of people make fun of me for this…but I actually don't work out to super high-energy music. I usually play Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, Russ, H.E.R, or other similar artists. I just feel it puts my mind at ease, and helps to clear my thoughts so I can focus on my workout.
What is the biggest satisfaction you get from being a dance instructor for younger children?
I think the best part about teaching in general is being able to experience and see the progress that my students make. There is no better feeling then seeing a young dancer bursting with joy because they have finally achieved something they have been working on. Being the teacher responsible for sharing that knowledge with them is truly rewarding and heartwarming.
What was the most rewarding occasion you recall from your career?
As I am still very young, and only just beginning this journey – the most rewarding occasion would have to be choreographing a solo piece that was very near and dear to my heart. It was a very personal piece to me. Being comfortable enough to share something from my life, and seeing my student execute it on stage was very fulfilling.
In 5 years I definitely see myself expanding my Entertainment Company. Being able to provide dancers with consistent work, and creating on a daily basis.
Who inspires you and how do you inspire your students?
My biggest inspirations are my friends, and choreographers within the dance community. Currently, two dancers who inspire me are a brother-duo I have known for years. Flow XS- they teach, choreograph, and perform. If you get a chance, please check them out! They are young creative artists – as are most of my friends that I look to for constant inspiration. It is extremely important to surround yourself with people that inspire you in any way.
What is the one quote that keeps you going?
If you have not become a choreographer, what would you be?
I can't even imagine dance not being present in my life, to be honest. If I absolutely have to choose…maybe the film industry. I love being behind the scenes and experiencing the process it takes to create a finished product!

Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) 13, to be designated the USS Wichita, completed acceptance trials July 12 in Lake Michigan in preparation for delivery to the U.S. Navy in late summer 2018. Lockheed Martin announced the future Wichita, which will be the seventh Freedom-class LCS to be delivered to the US Navy, completed the trials, which were conducted July 9-12.
"LCS 13's completion of acceptance trials means this ship is one step closer to joining the fleet and conducting critical maritime operations for the Navy," Joe DePietro, vice president of small combatants and ship systems at Lockheed Martin, said in a press release. "This ship is agile, powerful and lethal, and the industry team and I are looking forward to her delivery, commissioning and deployment," Depietro said. "These are complex vessels, and it takes a strong team effort to design, build and test these American warships.
The Wichita is one of eight LCS vessels in production and testing, with another currently in long-lead production and projected to start construction in the near future. LCS 15, which will be designated the USS Billings, is the next in the series and is expected to complete trials later this year. The LCS classes of ships are designed to operate close to shore for patrol, interdiction, mine-countermeasures, undersea warfare operations and other missions. The ships' modular design is meant to be outfitted based on mission requirements.
The Freedom-class mounts an Mk 110 57mm gun, two Bushmaster 30mm cannons and RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missiles for point-defense against low-flying and sea-skimming targets like anti-ship missiles. It was also designed for carrying the cancelled Non-Line Of Sight missile for surface targets, but the launch equipment has since been removed. The Navy has released requirements for a frigate-class vessel, the guided-missile frigates have been designated FFG(X), due to dissatisfaction with the LCS program. LCS's are considered under-armed, under-crewed and to narrowly focused to fully fulfill the role of frigates in the Navy as planned.

Q: changing some elements of vector in matlab I have a vector called x.
 I want to change elements of the vector which are negative to absolute valu of a gaussian random number with std equal to 1 and mean equal to 0. I used below code but it doesn't work. Could anyone suggest a way to do it?
 index = (x < 0); x(index) = abs(rand(1,index));

A: Let A be your matrix, to change negative elements to a random numbers, you can use:
A = [-1 -2 3 4 5 -1 0 9 ] ;
mu = 0; sigma = 1 ;
idx = A<0 ;
A(idx) =  abs(normrnd(mu,sigma,1,nnz(idx))) ;

Problem with your code:
your index are logicals, you cannot use logicals to define/ get random numbers. Note that, you need not to use abs(rand)), rand gives you +ve random numbers only.

National anthem of MyanmarMyanmar is a country in Southeast Asia. In 1989 the government changed the country's name from Burma to Myanmar. For many years the capital was Yangon, which is in the southern part of the country. In 2006 the government moved the capital north to Nay Pyi Taw (also spelled Naypyidaw), a site in the center of the country.
Myanmar shares borders with Bangladesh, India, China, Laos, and Thailand. The Indian Ocean lies to the west. The southern portion of the country is a long, narrow strip of land that runs down the Malay Peninsula.
Myanmar is a mountainous country. The Kumon Range in the north contains the country's highest peak, Mount Hkakabo, at 19,296 feet (5,881 meters). In central Myanmar lower lands surround the Irrawaddy and Sittang rivers. Myanmar has a tropical climate. Most of the country receives heavy rainfall, almost all in the summer.
Forests covers about 43 percent of Myanmar. Evergreen rainforests grow in the wettest regions. Teaks and other trees that lose their leaves grow in areas with less rainfall.
Myanmar is home to many kinds of animals. The rainforests support a variety of birds, snakes, and monkeys. Tigers and elephants are important, but they are endangered. Bears live in hilly regions, and crocodiles can be found in deltas.
The Burman people make up most of the population. Other ethnic groups include the Shan, Karen, and Arakanese. Many Indian and Chinese people also live in Myanmar. Burmese is the official language, but minority groups have their own languages. Most of the people practice Buddhism. About a third of the Arakanese follow Islam. These people are known as the Rohingya. About 70 percent of the country's population lives in rural areas.
Myanmar is a poor country. A little less than half of Myanmar's workers are farmers. The main crops are rice, sugarcane, beans, peanuts, corn, and cotton. Cattle, pigs, and buffalo are the main livestock. Fishing is another source of food. The forests provide teak and other wood.
Services such as transportation and tourism are a growing part of Myanmar's economy. About 35 percent of the workforce is employed in services. Industry is a smaller part of the country's economy. Myanmar's most important industry is based on its rich mineral deposits, especially gemstones. It is the world's largest producer of jade and is known for its high quality rubies. Myanmar also has reserves of oil and natural gas. Factories make clothing, cement, and fertilizers.
About 2,000 years ago a group of people known as the Pyu began establishing cities in the north. To the south lived the Mon people. In the 800s the Burmans developed a powerful kingdom centered on the city of Pagan in the central part of the country. By the mid-1000s the Burman ruler Anawrahta had united much of what is now Myanmar into a single kingdom. The kingdom became a center of Buddhist culture. An invasion by the Mongols led to the breakup of the kingdom in the 1200s.
In the mid-1700s a king named Alaungpaya unified Myanmar once again. In the 1800s Great Britain and Myanmar fought three wars known as the Anglo-Burmese Wars. Britain took control of the whole region in 1886. The British called the land Burma. Burma gained independence in 1948.
Strict military leaders took over the government of Burma in 1962. The military did not allow people to have much freedom. There were often protests, but the military stopped them with force. The military tried to address the protests when it changed the name of the country from Burma to Myanmar in 1989. In the early 21st century struggles continued between the military government and people who wanted democracy. In 2015 there was progress toward democracy when the country held its first openly contested elections. The National League for Democracy (NLD) won a sweeping victory and formed a government. The military retained total control over the army and the police force.
In 2017 military forces began committing large-scale violence against the Rohingya people. The government's weak response to the violence drew criticism from the international community. In early 2018 it was estimated that more than 700,000 Rohingya had fled the country to escape the violence. In a report released later that year in August, the United Nations called for Myanmar's top military commanders to be put on trial for genocide.
The NLD continued to enjoy strong support and easily won the November 2020 elections. However, the military claimed the results were illegitimate and refused to acknowledge NLD's victory. On February 1, 2021, the military seized power and declared a one-year state of emergency.

Q: Angular service requests paginated collection For one of Angular services, the request is:
return this.http.get(url)
    .map(this.extractData)
    .catch(this.handleError);
}

For the above, the list of items returned would be limited to the page size set by the backend. e.g.:
 [{a:1, b:2}]

How do I change the requests to continuously go through paginated collection of items? As in if there is a 'next' with the next page link, it would go on and make another request to get the next batch of data e.g.:
 ["next": "https://api.com/endpoints?page=2", results=[{a:1, b:2}]]

A: You have two solution here ,the first one is to add a new param  to your angular route (page for example) holding the number of the page you are in and access it from your component , the second one is to easily add a static variable tracking the number of the page your are in , and increment it in each request your service made.
