Caernarfon, Wales
This small town in northwest Wales has the country's largest medieval castle and surrounding wall, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Come see where English royalty becomes the Prince of Wales before being crowned the monarch of the United Kingdom.
1	Afon Seiont Harbor in Caernarfon, Wales
Caernarfon is a small town of about 10,000 residents in northwestern Wales. Segontium Roman fort was established here in 80 AD. This was a logical location because of the natural harbor formed as the Afon Seiont river empties into the Menai Strait. The Victorian Dock was built in the 1860s to accommodate imports from Scandinavia. Now, the marina caters to small watercraft of local Cofis and modern-day explorers of Wale's coastline. Most tourists arrive by highway A487. They come to see the castle. They stay to enjoy the town's quiet charm.

2	Brief History of Caernarfon Castle in Caernarfon, Wales
Edward I was the King of England from 1272 until 1307. In December of 1282, his English troops defeated a Welsh rebellion and severed the head of the Prince of Wales, Llwelyn ap Gruffudd. Then Edward ordered a massive fortress be built to defend against future attacks in Caernarfonshire. However, it was reclaimed by Madog ap Llywelyn after he sacked the town in 1294. The following year, King Edward regained control and construction continued through 1330 (it was never finished). Towards the late 15th century, its strategic importance diminished and its condition languished. The features shown on this southern profile are (l to r): the Eagle Tower, Queen's Tower, Chamberlain Tower, Black Tower, Cistern Tower and the Queen's Gate. In the foreground is the small boat harbor of Afon Seiont, a tidal river flowing along the edge of this medieval town. Notice how mud flats appear at low tide.

3	Bridge Keeper Lodge in Caernarfon, Wales
This bridge keeper's lodge is the first thing you encounter after crossing the Aber Swing Bridge from Caernarfon's center. The Aber Ferry House was constructed in 1822. From there, one direction along the Aber Foreshore Road provides a panorama of the castle and the quaint town buildings on the north bank of the River Seiont. Take the walkway in the other direction for outstanding views of the Menai Strait and to reach the Coed Helen Recreational Park.
Pont Yr Aber Caernarfon, UK
4	Aber Swing Bridge and Caernarfon Castle in Caernarfon, Wales
The Pont Yr Aber is a pedestrian bridge connecting the north and south banks of the River Seiont. An operator swings it open to allow boats to enter the harbor. A previous version of the footbridge was here in 1900. This replacement was built in 1970. In 2015, the Gwynedd Council announced its plan to close the landmark as part of an austerity effort. The news sparked major protests and a petition generating over 25,000 signatures. In the background is Eagle Tower, part of the Caernarfon Castle.
5	Western Towers of Caernarfon Castle in Caernarfon, Wales
This view of the 13th century Caernarfon Castle from near the Aber Swing Bridge on the south bank of Afon Seiont provides a panorama of the western defenses. Let's start on the left and look right. The arched opening is Water Gate leading from the quay to Castle Ditch Street. Behind it is the Well Tower. In the foreground is Eagle Tower and next to it is Queen's Tower. These are three of a dozen towers encircling Caernarfon Castle. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, spelled Caernarvon in English, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Wales. The warm hue of the façade is courtesy of a wonderful sunset.
6	Eagle Tower at Caernarfon Castle in Caernarfon, Wales
Eagle Tower is the largest and most impressive element of Caernarfon Castle. You might notice the carvings of eagles decorating the battlements. Its ten-sided design measures 33 feet at the base. It was the first structure to be built, intended to repel attacks by sea until the rest of the stronghold could be finished. Look closely at the area of rough stone. This was the foundation of a water gate that was never constructed. The steps leading to the arched doorway was used to accept ship deliveries.
7	Bank Quay Towers in Caernarfon, Wales
Notice the battlement and arrow slit. They are classic defense elements of citadel architecture from the Middle Ages. These are two of the four towers along Cei Bank. Named Bank Quay in English, this road defines the north end of the walled-in town. Pass through one of the three gates via Church, Market or Northgate Streets to enter the 10-acre, medieval section of Caernarfon.

8	Former County Hall and Courthouse in Caernarfon, Wales
This neoclassical building was the Caernarvonshire Shire Hall when it was erected along Castle Ditch in 1863. Architect James Thomas specified the four fluted Doric columns holding the pediment accented with a dentil cornice. The statue of blindfolded Justice with a sword and wearing a galea, a Roman soldier's helmet, was created by Robert Evans. After serving as the county hall, it became the chambers for the Crown and Magistrates Courts. As of this writing, it is unoccupied.

9	Prince of Wales Origin at Caernarfon Castle in Caernarfon, Wales
You are familiar with Charles, the current Prince of Wales. But how did the title become associated with the heir apparent to the English crown? It started and continues here. After the Welsh Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffydd was killed in 1281, King Edward I of England wanted to appease the rebellious people of Wales. So, when his son was born in Caernarfon Castle in 1284, he declared him to be the Prince of Wales. When his father died in 1307, Edward II became the King of England until he was imprisoned and suspiciously died twenty years later. Since 1911, the investiture ceremony to become the Prince of Wales has been held in this castle. The last time was 1969. Shown here are the Granary Tower (left) and the King's Gate (center).
10	King's Gate at Caernarfon Castle in Caernarfon, Wales
14th century intruders were greeted with murder holes when storming this King's Gate. For invited guests, however, this was the grand entrance to Caernarfon Castle. So if you want a tour of this Middle Ages' fortress, you are welcomed to enter here. You first pass under the worn carving of King Edward II which was added in 1321. The same admission price lets you visit the Museum of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. This displays military artifacts of Wale's oldest infantry regiment. If you need help or suggestions while visiting Caernarfon, there is an information office located across from this gate on Castle Ditch. Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
11	Queen's Gate at Caernarfon Castle in Caernarfon, Wales
This is the eastern entrance to Caernarfon Castle facing Castle Square. The large archway is supported by two polygon-shaped towers. It was called the Banner Tower when it was used to receive cargo from the adjacent harbor. Now it is the Queen's Gate. Queen Elizabeth visited here in 1955, in 1969 for the investiture of Charles as the Prince of wales, and again in 1975. In 2010, she and Prince Phillip were cheered as they waved from the glass balcony of Queen's Gate.
12	Old Town Wall Surrounding Caernarfon, Wales
Construction of a town wall began around the time Caernarfon was deemed a borough in 1284 by Edward I of England. By the end of the 13th century, the medieval town was encircled by a 2,400 foot ribbon of stone. The citadel consisted of eight round towers like the two shown here on Greengate Street. They were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986.

13	Castle Square Shops in Caernarfon, Wales
Caernarfon is not a shopping town. You won't find big chains or luxury brands. Most visitors prefer it that way. They would rather explore small shops where the owner greets you with a smile. These charming stores inside of colorful Victorian and Gregorian buildings from the 19th century are located in Castle Square. The Welsh name is Y Mae. This square was extensively renovated in 2009.
6 Castle Square Caernarfon LL55 2NF, UK
14	Castle Square Landmarks in Caernarfon, Wales
The prominent landmark defining the western edge of Castle Square is the castle. This photo shows the opposite or eastern side of the town plaza. In the center is Castle Square Presbyterian Church. When it opened in 1882, it served the Calvinistic Methodists. On the right is Caernarfon's Post Office. Its Italianate design was finished in 1880. On the left is an HSBC branch. Originally, this 19th century building of Anglesey stone housed the North & South Wales Bank and then the Midland Bank.

15	Castle Square War Memorial in Caernarfon, Wales
This sculpture of a rampart Welsh dragon has stood proudly on a stone column within Castle Square since 1922. It is a monument to soldiers who died during World War I and II. At the base of the cenotaph are two inscriptions in Welsh expressing Caernarfon's love and admiration for their ultimate sacrifice.
Castle Square Caernarfon, UK
16	Salem Congregational Chapel in Caernarfon, Wales
This Italianate-style, Salem Congregational Chapel was built on Pool Lane in 1862. It was commissioned by the Church of England and based on a design by Reverend Thomas. The flanking turrets were added in 1891 during an extension project managed by architect Owen Morris Roberts. This was about the same time a commemorative stone was laid honoring Dr. Herber Evan's 25th anniversary of serving the church. During the late 19th century, Salem Chapel hosted the largest Sunday school program in Gwyneed.
13 Pool Hill Caernarfon LL55 2AL, UK
17	Flatiron Building Bridge Street in Caernarfon, Wales
It was an unexpected delight to see this late 19th century, Victorian flatiron building on Bridge Street. Its light blue bay windows are the perfect accent to the conical roof topped with a green copper turret. On the ground floor is Gemwaith Jewellery. The top two stories of the triangular building are offices.
15 Bridge St, Caernarfon LL55 1AB, UK
18	Town Wall Tower and Castle in Caernarfon, Wales
This tower along Greengate Street (and Hole in the Wall Street on the other side) is the southeast corner of the medieval wall. In the background is the Northeast Tower of Caernarfon Castle. It is appropriate to show them together because they were built simultaneously in 1285 based on the plans of architect James of St. George. Hundreds of English workers were employed to construct these massive defenses within a few years. They remain Wale's finest historic strongholds.
4 Greengate St Caernarfon LL55 1AG, UK
19	Gwyneed Council Coat of Arms n Caernarfon, Wales
This was the coat of arms for the Gwyneed County Council from 1974 through 1996. On the left is The Red or Welsh Dragon. Y Ddraig Goch has been Wale's symbol since 829 AD. On the right is the Sea Dragon. This represents the importance of the sea to the region. On top is the golden eagle from the arms of Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd, the Prince and King of Gwyneed during the 12th century. The bottom banner means, "The Strength of Gwyneed." This heraldic design is located on the headquarters of the Gwyneed Council, the governing body for this region in northwest Wales.
Shirehall St Caernarfon LL55 1ZH, UK
20	Former First County School in Caernarfon, Wales
This Georgian/Victorian building along Church Street attracted my attention because of its bright yellow color. Then I read the plague erected by the Civic Society of Caernarfon. It explains this was the first country school when it was built in 1894. Their motto was to "Set standards of scholarship and culture." It was transformed into a guest house in 1974. Now Caer Manai manages it as a B&B with seven guest rooms.
15 Church St Caernarfon LL55 1SW, UK
21	Warm Welcome Mural in Caernarfon, Wales
This mural on a 17th century building is entitled "A Warm Welcome." It is a historical reference to when Northgate Street was Caernarfon's red-light district. The 40/60 refers to the cost of a room, a bottle of gin and the company of a woman for the night. The painting also welcomes guests to the Black Boy Inn, a bed and breakfast that includes a pub and restaurant. Although its name may be controversial now, the moniker dates back to when it was established around 1522.
1 Stryd Pedwar a Chwech, Caernarfon LL55 1RW, UK
22	Bell Tower and St Mary's Church in Caernarfon, Wales
There is a lovely, seaside promenade stretching from the castle to Victoria Dock. It retraces the Slate Quay along the shore of Menai Strait. In the northwest corner there is a lot to admire. In the foreground is the five-ton anchor from the HMS Conway, an 1833 battle ship later used for naval training. Behind it is the Bell Tower, part of the 13th century town wall extending to the right. In 1307, this tower became part of the foundation for St Mary's Church. The chapel was designed by Henry de Ellerton and built to serve the garrison who protected the city. The lancet window leads to the church's vestry. On the far right is Bath Tower, so named when it was converted into part of a public bath in 1823. In between are benches. Sit here to watch glorious sunsets over the water.
23	Menai Strait at Sunset along Caernarfon, Wales
Caernarfon's western border is defined by the Menai Strait, a 16 mile channel separating the mainland from the Isle of Anglesey seen in the background. Anglesey is a 276 square mile island, the largest in Wales. It has a population of about 70,000 people. From the Holyhead port, ferries regularly travel 82 miles across the Irish Sea to reach Dublin, Ireland.

On the west side of Spokane where I live, the Houston Fire was growing fast. The gate that keeps the world at bay in Erika and Andrea Zaman's rural lane would do them no good if the flames crept across a nearby field of weeds. Erika, away on business in Seattle, said later, "It was a very scary ordeal. I felt panic knowing that my children were not in a safe place and I was a flight away." It was August 2015.
From our house I watched the white smoke surge. Luckily no wind was blowing. Wind causes fires to grow legs. Those legs vault rivers, roads, even lakes, as they did in 2014 when the shores of Fishtrap Lake burned. Wind also causes fires to roar hotter.
Erika and Andrea live near Palisades Park. In the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps carved our city's largest urban common from a vast plat of rimrock, pines and shrub-steppe. Beneath its dog-hair ponderosa pines, heavy duff and scrub brush burgeon, furnishing tinder for fires. Dumb luck might shove the flames away from the women's home, we hoped—might sacrifice a portion of the park and leave the human community whole. With only one perimeter road for the hardhats to enter and kindle backfires, Palisades could become a Spokane County conflagration for the ages.
I helmeted up and motorcycled out to see what I could see. Soon I hit a roadblock. Red fire repellant tiger-striped the traffic-control car parked catawampus in the road to stymie residents from going home. Stamping horses in trailers and truck windows smeared by dogs queued up behind the roadblock. Homeowners shuffled, slouched and regarded their smart phones. They'd been hustled out of their homes.
Through an opening made by the road, we could glimpse the fire. It crawled like a glow-worm through the understory. It ate the August-dry tinder. When it hit a tree, it nibbled at the needles and devoured the crown in a feast of flames. A small plane began to buzz above the horizon. We had seen such planes douse fires in McCall, Idaho, twenty years earlier. This plane extruded a red rooster tail of slurry above the burn and turned.
We homeowners ought to reckon better. When we live amid coniferous forests in the arid West, we take risks ecologists have warned about for decades. Actuaries have calculated those risks, even if clients residing on the piney margins have not. Ponderosa forests evolved with fire. Some trees not only withstand it, they grow taller and stronger.
Earlier that same week, a brisk wind bent the branches of the tall pines in the yard of our Spokane home. I had a hallucination that flames were galloping down our street. In such an event, there would be little for me to do. Climb a ladder with a puny garden hose. Wet the structure down from atop the roof and hope or pray for the best.
When the fire flared across Grove Road where Andrea and Erika live, two of the couple's three kids were with a sitter at home. Erika was in Seattle. The sitter and kids watched the fire from indoors. Local authorities brushed aside the possibility the blaze could vault the asphalt of Grove Road—until it did. Andrea, fetching one son from the airport, blasted back home, scooped up the sitter and other kids and spirited them away.
They had to evacuate until hotshot firefighters and planes could turn the fiery tide. So did some fifty other residents near the burn. The babysitter's mother took the women in for dinner. They were luckier than many in Eastern Washington. They got clearance to return home that same day. They crept back in, breathed a sigh of relief and offered public thanks to the firefighters. Kept the windows closed. Ran the AC. Tried to get some sleep.
Columbia Plateau wildfires upwind of us have hit Spokane and surrounding communities hard. In mammalian heads like ours, smell and taste entwine so far that we feel as if we are ingesting smoke. Airborne cinders lodge in nostrils. Tar from burnt pine pitch won't wash out. To gain relief we rinse in rivers, bathe ourselves in lakes. At home we use a nasal-irrigation solution—a neti pot that feels, at first gurgle, a little bit like waterboarding might. Soon its salty-warm emulsion becomes a soothing relief.
Two years of summer fires caused our throats to catch, our eyes to stream, our lungs to cough up stuff. The Columbia Plateau turned to murk for weeks. Visibility fell to several hundred yards. "Apocalyptic," one friend muttered, peering out his window. His only frame of reference for what he saw was the legendary termination of the world.
Wood-smoke seeps through household screens and panes. Composed of invisible aerosols freighted with carbon, it carries nitrogen particles suspended by the billions. It settles as a film on furniture indoors. Several hours west of us in Winthrop, friends watched hillside flames creep nearer by the hour. They freaked when embers drifted from cloudless skies. Bundling pets and most precious possessions, they left behind their wood-frame home. The Evergreen State seemed to have been ironically named.
Weltschmertz and low-grade stress swept in with the weather. Murky horizons called to mind humidity's dimness in the distant Smoky Mountains. Instead of a steamy atmosphere, though, our vistas in the intermountain West proved dusty-dry and toxic. Opaque horizons became the new normal, in a phrase that soon grew wearisome to hear.
I motorcycled through Usk, Chewelah, Kettle Falls and Republic to find relief. On the Spokane Indian Reservation and south to Keller, charred trees met me. As a person who deploys internal combustion for sport, I am part of the problem. I contribute to the conditions I lament. Motor even farther north to try to escape the smoke, and I would cross into British Columbia. I find myself reeling along glacier-fed lakes and streams.
More than 700 Northwest glaciers are shrinking fast, says scientist Mauri Pelto. Every new drought is eroding 5-10 percent of ice-field volumes. Pelto has studied glaciation for three decades on the slopes of Mt. Rainier, the most heavily glaciated snow-peak in the Lower 48. He has measured the ice fields of Glacier National Park. Extinct ancient forests have come to light as sheets of ancient ice pull back. Pelto says climate change is dissolving the signature glaciers of the Northwest fast, making them punier than at any time in the last 4,000 years.
Glaciers are ecologically essential. They balance out droughts. They function as storage reservoirs for in-stream flows in the hottest months of the year, when sea-run fish are at risk, most in need of chilly water to fin up inland rivers to spawn. University of Washington researcher Wendell Tangborn dubs glaciers the canaries in the climate-change coalmine. He ties their changing fate to droughts and fires. The "mass balance" of glaciers—a reliable gauge of their health—measures the annual variation between growth from snow and shrinkage from global warmth. For the first time in recorded history, Tangborn says, that balance has shifted to the negative.
Climate disruption is a kind of ice age in reverse. Exhalations from our industry diminish even those regions least inhabited by people. Our commercial exhalations are corroding the rivets on the voyaging spaceship Earth. As the planet warms, as the ice caps liquefy at greater rates, weird weather is likely to be more and more the norm.
A week after the Houston Fire calmed down, I motorcycled out Grove Road again to the 60-acre burn site. Scent of ash and phosphates fouled the air. Slumping barbed wire reminded me of a guitar widowed of everything but its strings, the working frets of cedar fence posts long gone. One barn had vanished; another stood scorched. Bulldozer-carved fire-lines scarred the land. Orange-clad convicts, making certain the embers were dead, stamped their boots on grass clumps and tree roots, mopping up the mess.
Blighted trees and grasslands stretched as far as I could see. On both sides of rural Grove Road, chemicals from the phosphate flame retardant painted the gravel and the fields red. Invasive weeds and grasses, wakened by the shock of flames, fed on the fertilizing phosphates, stabbing through the ash to rally stronger than before.

Q: Trying to save to S3 with Paperclip & Amazon API Hey guys I've tried looking up the answer to my specific problem and couldn't find a solution. I tried everything.
I have a gift model that has paperclip to save an image. The gift instance is populated by an Amazon model ( which grabs information from the amazon api for product details including, image, name and price) but I can't save the image to S3.
I think my problem has to do with the fact paperclip is converting it to an amazon S3 link on the "new" route in my gift controller as opposed to when it actually creates the gift.
here's some code:
class GiftsController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token
  before_action :amazon_url, only: [:new, :new_extension]
  before_action :authenticate_user!

  def new
    @friend = Friend.find_by_id(params[:id])
    if @gift_data.failure == nil

          format.json { render :json => {gift: @gift} }
        end
      end

  end

and my gift model :
class Gift < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :category
  has_many :ideas
  has_many :friends, :through => :ideas
  # this friends association doesn't work, need to troubleshoot more or figure that out
  # also figure out whether we need it
  has_many :goods

  has_attached_file :image,
                    :storage  => :s3,
                    :styles => { :medium => "370x370", :thumb => "100x100" }
                    validates_attachment_content_type :image, :content_type => /\Aimage\/.*\Z/

  # validates :price, presence: true, format: {with: /\A\d+(?:\.\d{0,2})?\z/}, numericality: {greater_than: 0, less_than: 1000000}

end

I've tried adding a method in the gift model to URI.parse the link but it doesn't work. Even tried doing it in the gift controller on the image but that didn't work either. I'm assuming paperclip is processing the image even when it's not yet created and won't even let me create the gift afterwards. Would appreciate some guidance!

A: Figured it out. Ended up adding an image_url row in table and then making use of URI.parse(image_url) to save it to the image and it saves it to S3.

Please note that there may be additional recommendations or requirements specific to each location or facility.
1. The structure of the class dictates that one dog work at a time. Other dogs will remain secured or crated until their turn.
2. When you enter the room with your dog, wait outside of the designated search area until instructed to enter.
3. When entering and exiting the room, or out in the potty area, please keep dogs a safe distance (minimum 6-feet) from one another. No meet and greets.
4. Make sure to potty your dog prior to class and when possible before each run. The nature of the work may trigger the desire to eliminate anyway. If you think that your dog may be getting ready to go, excuse yourself and gently take him outside. If you are unsuccessful and there is an accident, don't reprimand your dog. Leave it be and gently take him outside. We will clean it up.
5. Minimize chatting during the dogs' runs. Students are encouraged to observe other dog-handler teams. In an effort to support this, as well as give each team undivided time with the instructor, please minimize chatting with each other while another dog-team is up.
6. Instruction may vary from dog-handler team to dog-handler team based on an individual dog-handler team's need.
7. The dogs will work on-leash and also off-leash, as long as the area is secure.
8. The instructor may "rev up" or excite your dog. Please hold your ground and do not release your dog until instructed.
9. If a dog solicits social contact during the search, please ignore the dog.
10. Please leave toys and treats in the crating area when it is not your turn so that the search area floor and workspace is clear of distractions.
11. Be patient with your dog. There is no need for frustration. Continue to support your dog. The goal is to keep it fun for both dog and handler.
12. Leave all obedience at the door, including "No" or "Leave it". If you need your dog to leave something during a search, just quietly encourage your dog to move away. Be careful not to leash correct your dog!
13. Please ask questions, but know that some may be tabled due to the time limitations of classes.
14. At the discretion of the instructor and facility, videotaping or photography of your own dog may be allowed during runs but may not be posted on the internet including but not limited to public access websites, user groups, or social networking sites (You Tube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) without permission from the C&C PALS Instructors. There may be some videotaping done by the instructors for educational purposes, which will only be used if participants at the class have signed the photo/video release.

Enter the exclusive backstage world of the theatre and experience the mix of inspiration and frustration found in the lives of two actors in David Mamet's A Life in the Theatre.
Well-known New York stage icon André De Shields shines in the role of Robert, an older, more experienced actor facing the arrival of a dangerous new talent in this blistering and darkly comic tale. Directed by renowned director and playwright Robert O'Hara (Metamorphosis), the play asks the question: How far would you go to make your career? Previews begin Oct. 28, 2009 on the Alliance Stage in Atlanta. Opening night is Nov. 4, 2009.

In A Life in the Theatre, each night during a single season, two actors transform from drama to farce and their relationship from one of friend to enemy on stage and off. This emotionally charged play is guaranteed to keep audiences breathless as it moves from wickedly funny to tragically sublime as the two men's relationship runs its course.
Emmy Award-winning and Tony Award®-nominated actor André De Shields has garnered considerable critical acclaim during the past four decades for his show-stopping performances in the original Broadway productions of The Full Monty, Play On!, Ain't Misbehavin', and The Wiz (in which he originated the role). Joining André De Shields is Ariel Shafir, who returns to the Alliance after his award-winning performance in the Alliance's hit comedy The Underpants.
Ariel Shafir
The production features Clint Ramos, set and costume designer; the Alliance Theatre's Pete Shinn, lighting designer; and the Alliance Theatre's Clay Benning, sound designer.

Mohamad Ali El Husseini presents a working paper entitled Religious leaders and their role in achieving world peace
The Secretary General of the Arab Islamic Council, Mohamad Ali El Husseini, presented a working paper in which he participated in the Abu Dhabi Peace Forum in its ninth session, "Globalization of War and the Globalization of Peace." The paper was entitled
"Religious leaders and their role in achieving world peace," in which he referred to the sensitive and important role that scholars play in achieving peace or fueling conflicts, especially since the Messenger of God (PBUH) warned in his speech on the importance of scholars and their impact, whether positive or negative, on society by saying: There are two types of people: if they are righteous, the people are righteous, and if they are corrupt, the people are corrupt: the scholars and the rulers."
El Husseini stressed the essential role that scholars play in positively affecting individuals and societies, and at the top of their tasks is to work to maintain peace and promote the values of coexistence and tolerance, and to determine what they can do, especially in the face of hotbeds of tension and battlefields in various regions of the world, and the extent of their ability to work to promote love and tranquility. Humankind, in light of the security concerns and challenges that have become a threat to the security and tranquility of human societies, pointing to the possibility and necessity of religious leaders' intervention with their wisdom to contribute to achieving avenues of dialogue and solidarity among peoples, strengthening factors of stability and establishing peace through openness and awareness of religious, spiritual and humanitarian commonalities between different religions. and societies.
El Husseini presented a proposal as a roadmap to achieve the objectives of the forum and to activate the role of scholars and religious leaders in establishing community coexistence and world peace through:
- Establishing a body that brings together the most important religious leaders whose mission is to communicate and agree on commitment to acquaintance, dialogue and joint action between religious leaders.
- The commission works on renewing and purifying religious discourse, promoting the values of tolerance and spreading the approach of moderation and openness to the other.
- The commission emphasizes the rejection of hate speech and the prohibition of incitement to violence and its criminalization through all laws.
- Criminalization of contemporary wars through religious laws and texts; As it constitutes a tool for killing people and sabotaging the country, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Do not seek corruption on earth, for God does not like corrupters

从《上洞八仙传》到《八仙得道传》的人物形象与故事内容演变研究 = Tales and characters portrayal from "Journey to the East" to "The eight immortals enlightenment"
许多人对于八仙的认识大都是通过耳熟能详的"八仙过海,各显神通"故事得知,这里的八仙,指的是明代吴元泰《东游记》,原名《上洞八仙传》中的八仙,即铁拐李、钟离权、吕洞宾、张果老、蓝采和、何仙姑、韩湘子和曹国舅,然而大家对于八仙得道的过程却众说纷纭。许多文献对于八仙在小说中个别的形象、故事的发展缺少系统性的整理工作。因此,笔者将针对八仙在明代吴元泰《东游记》与清代无垢道人《八仙全传》,又名《八仙得道传》中的人物形象与故事内容的演变进行系统性的分析和综合性的整理。Many people 's understanding of the Eight Immortals mostly through the familiar story of the Eight Immortals. In this thesis, the Eight Immortals refers to Tieguai Lee, Zhongli Quan, Lǔ Dongbin, Chang Guolao, Lan Caihe, He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu depicted in the " Journey to the East ", formerly known as " The Eight Immortals Biography" by the author Wuyuan Tai from Ming Dynasty . However, everyone has different opinions for the Eight Immortals enlightenment process. Many documents for the Eight Immortals in the novel individual images development of the story is missing systematic collation. Therefore, I will focus on the Eight Immortals in Wuyuan Tai Ming Dynasty " Journey to the East " and the Wugou Daoren Qing Dynasty "The Eight Immortals Biography " also known as "The Eight Immortals Enlightenment " of the characters and the evolution of the stories to undertake a systematic analysis and comprehensive consolidation.


Selecting the right plan is essential. Price is important, but it shouldn't be the only factor. You'll want to consider the extent of plan coverage, as well as your medical needs and those of your family. Are regular prescriptions or doctor visits required? It's important to consider the potential cost of unpredictable events. As much as we don't like to think about it, medical emergencies occur and access to hospitals you want vary from plan to plan. Most important of all, make sure your plan includes St. Joseph Hoag Health and participating hospitals, medical groups and affiliated physicians. Check our list of accepted health plans. For good measure, it's also best to double check with your health insurer to verify you're with a doctor who is part of St. Joseph Hoag Health.
Provide the name of the primary care physician within the network you have selected, and specify you want to join the group name located in the physician's profile online.
Confirm your selection with your health plan. Be sure to verify the group name matches the one listed in our online physician directory when you receive your new health plan identification card.

First Line: As Kitt tramped on alone towards the villa, unease clung to him like the rancid sweat that soaked his shirt.
It's 1772, and Biddy Leigh's dream is to leave her job as under-cook at Mawton Hall, marry her childhood sweetheart, and run her own tavern. Just as all her plans are about to fall in place, Lady Carinna, her master's new young wife, bribes Biddy into accompanying her to Italy. The young woman is intrigued, not only by her travel companions, but by all the new food she eats along the way, and she records her adventures and culinary discoveries in an old recipe book, The Cook's Jewel.
In London Biddy meets Lady Carinna's younger brother. In France she deduces Lady Carinna's secret, and in Italy she becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy. Biddy has to tread very carefully, for the secrets she's learned could either lead her to a brand-new life or to her downfall.
The opening scene of An Appetite for Violets is a powerful one that stays with readers throughout the book and makes us want to find out what on earth happened. And then we're introduced to Biddy Leigh, a young woman who has a true talent for cooking and dreams that she's willing to work to make true. Her spirit is infectious, and in no time at all I was convinced that no matter what tried to knock Biddy down, she would refuse to be defeated. That is just the sort of character that makes you want to turn the pages.
Other characters are interesting as well-- the footman Loveday, Lady Carinna and her brother Kitt-- but Biddy is so vivid that everyone else pales in comparison. The pace of the story slows a bit from time to time, but I never lost interest. As Biddy tells us all that she observes, we deduce some things ahead of her-- but not all. Like Biddy, we're never privy to everything that goes on.
The thread of cooking runs throughout the book. Each chapter is headed by a recipe or a cure from The Cook's Jewel, which is truly a gem. (Volumes like these do exist.) The book is handwritten and has been handed down from cook to cook for generations, some of the concoctions dating back to the early 1500s. As Biddy adds her own entries from her travels-- she insists on going to one of the very first restaurants in Paris and also talks to the cooks when they stop at inns-- these chapter headings become a charming and integral part of the book.
If you're in the mood for a little "culinary gothic" with secrets and passions and a bit of the fashions of the day, I recommend An Appetite for Violets. I'll be remembering Biddy for a good long time.
Cathy - I must admit to a real soft spot for a good historical novel, and it sounds like this one captures the period rather well. Hmmmm......maybe one worth looking out for.
I think you'd really enjoy Biddy, Margot.
This sounds like it's worth looking for.


The safest way to smoke. Vaporizers work by heating the smoking substance up to a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, only the active ingredients are vaporized. The vapours are then inhaled giving the safest and most effective smoking experience ever without inhaling any of the potentially harmful carcinogens contained in many smoking substances. The Sunflower Vaporiser come with instructions.


Through their monthly donation effort, Blue Water Grill (BWG), along with their sister businesses, The Phoenix and Wine De Vine, raises funds to assist the San Pedro community in many great ways. Thanks to the generosity of donors, March saw San Pedro High School (SPHS) receiving new laptops, Oceana in Belize receiving a sizeable check, and Dr. Otto Rodriguez San Pedro Polyclinic II receiving their long-awaited ultrasound machine.
Thirty new Lenovo laptops were handed over to SPHS on Wednesday, March 22nd. As the school's previous computers were not fully functional, and students often experienced technical difficulties, BWG dedicated January and February 2017 to collecting donations. BWG customers donated $5,004, guests of The Phoenix donated $2,685, and customers of Wine de Vine donated $182, which raised a total of $7,871. As per usual, BWG matched those funds, bringing the grand total to $15,741.
SPHS Teacher Paul Kelly said that the new laptops will definitely benefit the school, especially for students enrolled in the San Pedro Adult Continuing Education (SPACE) program. "With over 900 students at SPHS, San Pedro Junior College (SPJC), and SPACE, these computers will also really become handy for all students. However, I noticed that the majority of the SPACE students work in the construction field. Instead of them just working in that industry as a laborer, I believe these students can become more than that. They could become more acquainted with technology and be the mastermind behind the construction," said Kelly.
Kelly also stated that he is looking to launch a computer drawing program for the next school year. "We had started a pilot program this year called Autocad…[but] our old computers were eight years old, and they couldn't withstand the size of the Autocad program. There was always technical difficulties, and the computers frequently froze. However, SPHS will be building a room for these computers so they are well-kept, and used properly, and we are looking to restart the program during the next school year. I really thank BWG, The Phoenix, and Wine De Vine for their generous support," said Kelly.
Oceana in Belize was the recipient of a $10,000 check on Friday, March 24th. The funds were raised in January 2017, when BWG hosted their first annual "Belize Food and Wine" event. The event included two nights of great food, wine and cocktails, and featured four visiting chefs from across the USA, local chefs, three sommeliers, and one cocktail expert.
BWG owner Kelly McDermott Kanabar told The San Pedro Sun that she supports Oceana's initiative to ban offshore oil drilling. "We chose to donate to Oceana so they can keep up the good fight. We want them to help us convince government that we need a law banning offshore drilling. Not only because we live off of the sea, but became oil drilling has a lot of negative impacts," said Kanabar.
Vice-President Janelle Chanona received the check on behalf of Oceana Belize. "This is a real case study of just how sensational San Pedro is. This community, like other coastal communities, knows the number of livelihoods that depend on the sea. We are really grateful to the entire community, and BWG for making us the first beneficiaries, because we can only advocate through support," said Chanona.
Chanona explained how Oceana will utilize the donation. "We work on a campaign basis, and to have that internal endorsement is crucial. This donation helps us get our work out, we really need all of these benefits to be safeguarded. This year is focusing on oil, and we will use the funds to reach out to fishing communities. We want to make sure people have the latest information and become engaged, pushing for transparency, engagement so that this is a collective decision, because whatever decision is made at sea, will affect all of us," said Chanona.
An initiative to provide Dr. Otto Rodriguez San Pedro Polyclinic II with an ultrasound machine became a reality on Monday, March 27th. From October through December 2016, customers of BWG, The Phoenix Resort, and Wine de Vine donated $16,325, which BWG matched, and purchased the ultrasound machine for $32,649.48.
On hand to receive the donation was Administrator Owen Vellos and his team of nurses and technicians at the clinic. Vellos shared his gratitude for the new addition to the polyclinic, and hopes that this machine can provide patients with an affordable option.
In the past, BWG has maintained a positive relationship with the polyclinic, donating an x-ray machine, an electrocardiogram (EKG) machine, many medical supplies, and even successfully lobbied for the clinic to provide 24-hour care.

Q: Trying to reorder posts by event date I'm using "the events calendar" plugin in WP which has a feature to allow event posts to show up as regular posts. I currently have a slider on my homepage that I would like to show featured events on. I was able to get it to show events as a "featured" category, but am having trouble ordering it by event date instead of publish date. This is what I have now.
Here is the original code just calling the specific category posts
    <?php query_posts ('category_name=' .$slide.'&posts_per_page='.$bvkPP.'&paged='.$paged ); ?>

This is what I changed it to
    <?php query_posts( array ('category_name=' .$slide.'&posts_per_page='.$bvkPP.'&paged='.$paged, 'orderby' => 'meta_value','meta_key' =>'_EventStartDate','order' => 'ASC',) ); ?>

This affectively ordered it by event date, but has overridden the category and is just calling for all events. Any thoughts on how to get just the specific category to show up?
Thanks!

A: I finally got it figured out. Here's what I came up with.
    <?php query_posts( array(
    'category_name' => $slide,
    'posts_per_page' => $bvkPP,
    'paged'=> $paged,
    'orderby' => 'meta_value',
    'meta_key' => '_EventStartDate',
    'order' => 'ASC',
    'eventDisplay'=> 'startDate',
    'post_type'=> 'tribe_events' ) ); ?>

Thanks for the help!

A:
get all event using your cat id.

<?php
    $paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1 );
    $args = array(
                'tax_query' => array(
                                    array(
                                        'taxonomy' => 'tribe_events_cat',
                                        'field' => 'id',
                                        'terms' => '17' //17 is cat id
                                    )
                                ),
                                'eventDisplay'=>'startDate',
                                'post_type'=>'tribe_events',
                                'orderby'=>'meta_value',
                                'meta_key'=>'_EventStartDate',
                                'posts_per_page' =>10,
                                'paged' => $paged,
                                'order' => 'ASC',
            );
    query_posts($args);
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    //your code here for get title/content
    <?php
        endwhile;
        wp_reset_query();

The 43-year-old is a reporter at the New York Times. She has three children — and Donald Trump. Her day began at 6 a.m. and since then, she has written half a dozen tweets and her most recent story has already been online for a couple of hours. Now, on the way through the lobby to the elevator, her eyes and her fingers don't leave her smartphone. Twitter, Facebook, email: Haberman reads, writes and talks all at the same time.
Haberman these days is one of the stars at the New York Times. She has known Trump personally for some time and covered his campaign, but she assumed that her life would quickly return to normal once Hillary Clinton moved into the White House. Instead, her days now sometimes include 20 hours of work, up to 130 tweets sent — and a new mission. "We are all exhausted," she says. But this is the story of their lifetime.
Why are they working themselves to the bone? Why are journalists needed? Donald Trump provides an answer every day. For the 1,300 journalists who work for the Times, this president is a nightmare and a dream-come-true all at the same time.
In the morning, Haberman wakes up with the president. Like many of her colleagues, she has set up a Twitter alarm on her mobile phone. When Trump once again blasts the New York Times as "fake news," as he so often does, the probability is high that they once again hit the mark: with exclusive stories and facts. Or perhaps just with details.
Together with a fellow reporter, Haberman wrote an article in early February about the first two weeks of the Trump administration. The piece discussed the chaos that reigned in the White House, the frustrations of his staff and the lonely president who watched TV in the evenings in his bathrobe. Hardly any article has enraged the president to such a degree. His spokesman, Sean Spicer, accused the Times of lying and claimed that the president didn't even own a bathrobe. Trump himself tweeted that the "failing New York Times" was inventing facts and sources. That it was "fake news." Haberman, though, is familiar with such accusations. It has become the standard tone between the Trump administration and what is perhaps the most important newspaper in the world.
The newsroom itself keeps close track of the attacks and even ran a widely shared piece in which every single one of the tweets — along with those pertaining to other news outlets and sundry Trump targets — was listed and linked to. Each one of them is a badge of honor, proof of the newspaper's relevance and of the fact that Trump reads it and takes it seriously.
A month ago, when his health care reform plan failed and Trump looked like the emperor with no clothes, he called two reporters from the Oval Office to share his side of the story. One of those was Haberman.
Six days later, though, the Times once again "disgraced the media world." Trump even threatened the paper with strengthening the country's libel laws — only to again approach Haberman three weeks ago, this time to receive her for an exclusive interview in the White House.
It is a constant and repeating cycle, clearly illustrating the passionate love-hate relationship that exists between the Times and Trump. The president hates the paper yet yearns for its praise. The Times, meanwhile, isn't shy about criticizing Trump, yet the president has presented the paper with a unique opportunity for digital success in the future.
Trump behaves not unlike a small child that bites and scratches to get the loving attention it wants. But it isn't the Times' job to praise the president. "The truth doesn't have sides," says Haberman.
As such, Trump has unintentionally answered a question that the Times has been asking for years: What must the 165-year-old Gray Lady do to survive in the fickle world of digital media? The boom in digital subscribers has provided the paper with a welcome answer: It doesn't have to blow up watermelons on Facebook to find success on the internet, nor does it have to resort to light-hearted listicles.
"With the journalism we are doing — the big news stories, the investigative reporting — readers are coming to us in dramatic numbers. That fires people up," says Dean Baquet, 60, who has been editor-in-chief of the New York Times for the past three years and the first African-American to ever run the paper. As a schoolchild, he used to mop the floor of his parents' restaurant in New Orleans — and now he runs a newspaper that is synonymous with the New York elite.
His small corner office lies on the edge of the newsroom on the third floor, his desk covered with books and notes. Baquet quickly grabs a bottle of mineral water from the minibar before sinking into his black leather sofa. He has a gentle, distinguished appearance, with a lavender pocket square highlighting his dark suit and polished shoes. He has a warm, friendly voice.
Its critical reporting alone, however, isn't enough to explain Trump's fury with the Times. CNN and the Washington Post are likewise aggressive in their reporting on the president, and even the otherwise conservative Wall Street Journal recently wrote that Trump clings to his false assertions "like a drunk to an empty gin bottle." And yet Trump's most hated enemy remains the New York Times.
Trump, though, has never received the recognition he expected from his hometown newspaper. Indeed, the Trump-Times relationship is a long story of unrequited love.
To trace that story, it is helpful to visit Paul Goldberger, a former architecture critic for the Times who lives in an Upper West Side apartment with a view of Central Park. A chaise lounge chair is sitting at the windows and orchids bloom nearby. There is a grand piano in the living room and an office crammed with books. Goldberger embodies everything that Trump scorns because he doesn't possess it himself: style, elegance and intellect.
Goldberger worked for the Times for 25 years and won a Pulitzer Prize for his architecture criticism. When Trump published his book "The Art of the Deal" in 1987, in which he gloated that he was New York's biggest real estate developer, Goldberger wrote that Trump Tower symbolizes the greed, the glitter and the superficiality of the Trump world, one in which money is mistaken for taste.
That, however, did not prevent Trump from printing two nice lines Goldberger had written about the Trump Tower on an advertising poster and hanging it in the lobby — clearly labeled so that everyone could see it came from the New York Times, the highest authority whose verdict was important in New York high society.
Trump expected gratitude from his hometown paper. In the 1970s, New York was in bad shape, with an extremely high crime rate. Those who were able, left the filthy metropolis. It was Trump, though, who was the first to invest in the city and build, being rewarded with tax subsidies and special permits. But even as city leaders and tabloid papers like the New York Post idolized the real estate investor, he remained little more than a rich clown for the Times, a laughing stock trapped in an oversized ego.
Part of his disappointment with the paper may have been informed by the expensive ads he bought in the Times to sell his luxury apartments and office buildings. Those with money in the city read the New York Times — and not the yellow press.
Rutenberg is a media critic for the New York Times. He began his career in the tabloids and got along well with Trump until he wrote a story in 2002 for the Times about the falling television ratings for Trump's Miss Universe pageants. Trump's agent called Rutenberg with Trump in the room, who yelled that the Times journalist was a "scumbag." "I was just accurately reflecting the television ratings, nothing more," says Rutenberg.

Q: How do I initialize a vector of unique_ptr objects?
Possible Duplicate:
Can I list-initialize a vector of move-only type?

I've tried this, but get complaints about calling ::std::unique_ptr's copy constructor. That doesn't seem right. :-(
#include <vector>
#include <memory>

int main()
{
   typedef ::std::unique_ptr<int> qint_ptr_t;
   ::std::vector<qint_ptr_t>{ {new int(5), new int(6) } };
   return 0;

Is there any way to initialize a vector of unique_ptr objects with an initialization list?

Sarcomas, Latest Developments In Diagnosis And Treatment
What are sarcomas?
Sarcomas are rare tumours of connective tissue, and as a result they can affect any part of the body. These are tumours of fat, nerves, bone, tendons, muscle and skin. They account for about 1% of all adult cancers and approximately 15% of paediatric tumours. In addition to the wide distribution of potential primary sites and the rarity, these are also very heterogeneous tumours with over 80 different histological subtypes.
These 3 factors make sarcomas extremely challenging to treat. Consequently, it is very important that sarcoma patients are managed by an experienced multi-disciplinary team, including surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, oncologists, specialist nurses, physiotherapists and pharmacists.
In order to make the diagnosis a biopsy is required to confirm the presence of a sarcoma and the specific subtype. Because these tumours are so rare and heterogeneous it is essential that an experienced pathologist reviews the biopsy sample. Initial diagnostic radiology tests can include a CT and MRI scan depending on the location and type of sarcoma.
The mainstay of treatment of localised sarcomas includes complete surgical removal with or without radiation. It is important that an experienced surgeon performs surgery as improperly performed surgery can have an impact on outcome.
Large randomised trials have demonstrated the benefit of pre- or post-operative radiation in extremity and chest wall sarcomas. A current international randomized trial is evaluating the role of pre-operative radiation in retroperitoneal sarcomas.
In certain sarcoma subtypes, multi-agent chemotherapy is an essential component of curative management; such subtypes include Ewing, osteosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma. The introduction of multi-agent chemotherapy for these subtypes and the use of limb-salvage surgery have been among the great success stories of oncology over the last four decades.
Unfortunately, despite optimal management with complete surgical resection, about 50% of patients with intermediate/high grade sarcoma develop recurrent/metastatic disease. Metastatic spread is usually via the blood, and the lungs are the most common site of metastatic disease.
The outcome for patients with metastatic sarcoma has historically been poor with few treatment options. However, recent data suggest that the median overall survival of patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma has improved from approximately 12 months to currently 18 months. There are also now more systemic therapy options available for patients with metastatic sarcoma.
For patients with an indolent histological subtype, surveillance of small volume/asymptomatic metastatic disease can be an option. Surgical resection can also be considered for patients with solitary metastatic lesions, particularly in the lungs. Other local treatment strategies can also be considered including radiation, radiofrequency ablation and embolisation techniques.
Decisions regarding the management of metastatic disease can be complex, again highlighting the need for an experienced multi-disciplinary team. For most patients with metastatic sarcoma the mainstay of management is systemic therapy, mainly chemotherapy.
The introduction of targeted therapy (imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib) in a soft tissue sarcoma subtype called gastro intestinal stromal tumour (GIST), has been the paradigm for targeted therapy in solid tumours.
The majority of GISTs are characterised by mutations in KIT and PDGFRA. As a result of the introduction of these tyrosine kinase inhibitors the outcome for patients with metastatic GIST has been transformed.
In addition, imatinib has been approved as post-operative therapy in patients following resection of high risk tumours. Imatinib has also been successful in the treatment of another sarcoma subtype called dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP).
Doxorubicin either alone or in combination with ifosfamide remains standard first-line therapy for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. The results of three international Phase III trials have been published or presented over the last few years.
The first trial randomised patients to receive either doxorubicin or doxorubicin and ifosfamide. This trial reported no difference in overall survival between the two arms, but patients treated with the combination had significantly longer progression free survival and a significantly higher response rate.
The second trial randomized patients to receive either, doxorubicin and the ifosfamide analogue (palifosfamide) or doxorubicin plus placebo. This trial showed no difference in outcome between the two arms. The third trial randomized patients to receive either, single agent doxorubicin or gemcitabine/ docetaxel. No difference in outcome was observed between the two arms.
Furthermore, a randomized trial comparing gemcitabine/ docetaxel to gemcitabine alone established the combination as an effective salvage schedule particularly in leiomyosarcoma and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma.
In 2007 the marine derived compound, trabectedin was approved in the European Union based on the results of a randomized Phase II trial of two different schedules of the drug. Subsequently, a Phase III trial was performed randomizing patients with advanced/ metastatic liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma to receive either trabectedin or dacarbazine, (patients entered had previously been treated with an anthracycline and one other therapy).
This trial showed a significantly longer progression free survival in patients treated with trabectedin compared to dacarbazine. This led to the approval of trabectedin by the FDA in November 2015.
The oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor pazopanib has been approved based on the results of a trial randomizing soft tissue sarcoma patients to receive pazopanib or placebo. The trial demonstrated a significant improvement in PFS for pazopanib but no difference in overall survival.
In 2016, the marine derived micro tubule inhibitor, eribulin was approved by the FDA for advanced liposarcoma, based on a Phase III trial randomizing patients with advanced/ metastatic liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma to receive eribulin or dacrabzine. The trial showed a significantly longer overall survival in the eribulin arm compared to dacarbzaine.
In conclusion, sarcomas are a rare group of heterogeneous cancers, presenting huge challenges in terms of management and drug development. The introduction of tyrosine kinase in GIST has been the paradigm of targeted therapy in solid tumours.
In addition, over the last few years a number of new systemic agents have been added to the available treatment options of advanced disease, including pazopanib, trabectedin and eribulin. With greater international collaboration between clinical researchers and basic scientists, further advances with be made in the management of these heterogeneous diseases.


MUTARE - Manicaland's biggest independent power producer Nyangani Renewable Energy (Pvt) Ltd hopes to complete the Pungwe run-of-river hydro power station by year-end, increasing electricity output to 20 megawatt (MW), a top official has said.
Executive director Ian McKersie said Manicaland's biggest independent power producer (IPP) was currently producing 6,05 MW from a $15 million investment at Duru, Nyamhingura and the first phase of the Pungwe project.
The power is benefiting 45 000 people as well as rural businesses and clinics in Zindi, Mapokana and Sagambe villages across Honde Valley.
"We are building the second stage of the Pungwe project and this will be a 15 MW run-of-river power station which, if all the deadlines are met, should be generating by the end of 2014," McKersie said.
The completion of the project will see Nyangani Renewable Energy embark on another $50m power project which has the capacity to light up the entire eastern Highlands region.
Commencing in 2007 with the construction of a mini hydro power station on Nyamingura River which produced 1,1 megawatts and was commissioned in 2010, there was the Duru mini hydro power station which generates 2,78 megawatts while the Pungwe project should generate up to 15 megawatts when fully operational.
Manicaland, which is getting its electricity supplies from Hwange and Kariba power stations and imports from Mozambique via the national grid, requires a total of 130 MW to power the entire province.
McKersie said they planned to proceed with the investment following the support and encouragement given to IPP's by the Energy ministry and Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC).
"The deregulation of the Electricity Act which began in 2002 and resulted in the Electricity Act of 2005 and the recent adoption of the Energy Policy opened up the electricity sector to IPPs, and this in effect was the inspiration to build and operate the first mini hydroelectric power station (Nyamingura)," McKersie said.
Zesa (Holdings) Eastern region general manager engineer Milton Munodawafa said IPPs can assist government mitigate power shortages.
