Asia Focus Australia - Faith and Love in ACTION!
By living and sharing the faith we desire to spread joy and gladness in His name across the Nations
President's Annual Report 2018
2018 was as eventful, wonderful as well as stressful as every other year if not more so – with plenty of drama and pain mixed in as well. Overall the number of donors and interest in AFA keeps growing. But like the LCA itself, we are also suffering from the effects of a declining church as people age and die or join other churches and stop to support Lutheran-based mission work.
We congratulate Pastor Matt Anker to his appointment as effectively the head of LCA International Missions under the Bishop. Meetings between LCA and AFA are now taking place regularly. All I wish to say that a new spirit blows. We always need to be transparent, cooperative and see the big picture without losing our identity and our zeal. The Gospel alone matters, the Mission of Jesus.
Our donors remain fantastic – and some truly sacrifice. In spite of our simple, old fashioned approach as a group that has little promotional opportunity and capacity, new people come on board regularly.
Our two focal points are as follows: 1. Focus on the next generation, the young, through our educational institutions in four countries and the scholarship program we run in numerous places. 2. Teaching the Faith to the young church overseas. I wish we could intensify this ministry in the future even more.
Here is our COUNTRY ROLL-UP – AFA in action in 2018:
LIBERIA: Lutheran Global Village (LGV) is a light in the whole region spreading the Gospel and helping the needy and forgotten. It is a unique story – bringing the people home from refugee camps in neighbouring Guinea. Now LML (Lutheran Mission Liberia) has been established as refugees are turning into missionaries reviving local churches and establishing new congregations. For example, Pastor Browne from LGV has started a church in the capital Monrovia from nothing to some 40 people now.
Poverty in the land remains heart breaking. We thank the Peters family (Darling Downs) for their untiring sacrifices and their recent trip to Liberia.
LAOS: The LPC (Life Promotion Centre) near the capital Vientiane is now well established and things really look good. It's run under the auspices of LEC (Lao Evangelical Church). The number of underprivileged and promising students from regional areas chosen to live here is 21. It is an ongoing challenge now to keep paying for the high, ongoing operational costs. More sponsors are needed.
THAILAND: Here we support prison work in Mukdahan at the Laotian border, four students at LST (Luther Seminary Thailand) in Bangkok and two ministries in Chiang Rai Province: financing outreach to four villages/missions through two pastors and two evangelists and, above all, the Laon Siam Centre (LSC) with over 20 High School students. This is our lead project in Thailand bringing us much joy and the occasional pain. The new Coordinator Anna does an amazing job.
VIETNAM takes your breath away – the teaching ministry there is chiefly under Pastors Fred Veerhuis, David Christian, Chris Reardon and Peter Steicke, with others being co-opted from time to time. The reports received frequently melt your heart. They want teaching and preaching more than anything else – spiritual guidance and empowerment through the Gospel. It is expensive to organize bimonthly (six times a year) Bible seminars for close to 100 'bush pastors' from far and near each time. Tien, a new translator for us from a rural province with one million people says, I can't wait till the Gospel of grace that you preach reaches our province as well. As of 2019 we are engaged with a whole new tribe (the Jarai people) many of whom are still spirit and ancestor worshippers.
MONGOLIA: The Christian and Lutheran cause in this country enjoys the great leadership of Pastor Puje. We have seen the establishment of MELC (Mongolian Evangelical Lutheran Church) in late 2017, another first generation church. Suffering, hardship and poverty is continuing among church workers. We support five local missionaries. The work is among Buddhists, Muslims and others.
NEPAL: We have established LUTHERAN MISSION NEPAL through local church leaders who are mostly Pentecostal. They are happy to be trained through seminars led by people like Pastor Michael Lockwood who is a soundly Lutheran teacher. Our leader Pastor Rabindra is full-on and works in a holistic way with whole communities engaging with them on all levels. They receive training in community development, poverty reduction, self-help programs, education alongside of Gospel witness, prayer and spiritual empowerment. In a persecution country like Nepal, this is the only way forward.
India: Oshisha Lutheran Mission (OLM) was a true find in 2017. We have discovered big needs here among the Dalits we work with. They suffer from neglect, poverty and discrimination. Pastor Nag, the leader of OLM, is a true missionary. Financed by AFA, more than 1,500 Bibles have been distributed. Four deep fresh water wells have been drilled and fitted out so that many Christian and non-Christian villagers can enjoy now safe drinking water. A brand new Dairy (paid for by a special donation to AFA) is being established to improve the people's diet and health.
Sabah (Malaysia): An AFA group visited there recently for the first time and was highly impressed. We sponsor 5 students there at Sabah Theological Seminary (STS).
Indonesia/Sumatra: TWO PROJECTS: 1. On Nias Island off Sumatra, a largely Protestant island, 700,000 Christians are being served by Sundermann Seminary. AFA gives financial support for 17 students and 1 lecturer. 2. The SANGGAR (Children's Centre) at the outskirts of the large city of Medan is becoming a very special project. It had started with a small, shabby old building that served as a Childcare Centre and then developed into a Preschool/Kindergarten on another site, now enjoying a new building and proper facilities for the first time. Right now a Primary School on the same property is being added in the form of a second building with five classrooms being added. It's all about the Christian education of the underprivileged in a Muslim environment. It's like a miracle in the making: the 50th Ordination Anniversary Project that I chose and that so far has raised $24,000 with $20,000 still needed.
Bhutan is active. Pastor Wangchuk maintains his mission work all over Bhutan. The Paro Community Centre is not fully utilised yet. Sonam Dema and her husband Dorji are presently studying in Australia returning to Bhutan mid 2020. We have high hopes for their engagement with us in Bhutan after their return.
Philippines: Our work in this country does not get much publicity but we have a good team there that is working hard under the LAMP name – Lutheran Autonomous Mission Philippines, a para-church organisation established under AFA. LAMP is doing mission work in Northern Luzon and in the Manila area among native people.
Cambodia: Here AFA works with ALC (Abundant Life Church) in the South East. For the first time a small AFA team visited recently. The reports coming back are very positive: great work is being done right to the border of Vietnam.
Myanmar: We are engaged in a big way with two local Lutheran churches and an independent evangelist. Our DAMADI Home is still a big feature and a success story. On the horrifying side, the ongoing civil war in Katchin State and in the heartland of Myanmar Lutheran Church in Chin State is a heart breaking development.
South Sudan: A disaster zone still. We have a limited engagement with the vibrant Lutheran church there. When donations to AFA are up, they benefit. Bishop Peter told me that a new mission congregation we helped to get off the ground four years ago (by sending them $3,000 towards the cost of their first church) is now flourishing. We sowed the seed God made it grow.
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS AND NOTES
AFA is roughly a $700,000 a year enterprise and this seems a large figure but it is not. The amount of good that is being done with this kind of money in the world is so much more than that amount of money indicates. We can safely say that without AFA many a person alive today would have passed away long ago. In most AFA countries we are serving as an agent for spiritual renewal and new life apart from everything else.
Opposition to the Gospel is definitely growing in Asia but that is not our biggest problem or main concern. Secularism and materialism all over the world among nearly all people is the greater challenge. This includes the love of money among the poor and needy and among Christians as well.
Warm thanks to all who have helped and supported AFA last year with hands and hearts, with physical work, prayers and donations. We appreciate every small donations but unless we also keep receiving regularly some four figure gifts, humanly speaking, we will have trouble. I have no idea about the future but things are going well at this time. We are a faith mission with no definite budget or predictable income. However, we may have to consider making some changes sooner or later in the way we operate.
A special thanks to our enthusiastic AFA committee. A very special thanks to our treasurer Judy Brauer and may I also mention by name Gay Ridge, our secretary. Nolene Stark as office assistant deserves to be noted for her tireless work nearly on a daily basis. Also a very big thanks to Brown Macaulay & Warren Chartered Accountants – especially Jonathan Weller – for the auditing and receipting work for us free of charge.
The joy in the Lord is our strength and the timeless Gospel of grace our inspiration.
Finally, as I read my own report, I shudder a little. How did all this become possible – and what will the future bring? This report should not give a glamorous picture. There is also failure, struggle and disappointment all the time. There is no saint who is not also a sinner. We all live by grace and forgiveness undeserved.

BHP boss Andrew Mackenzie most outspoken CEO on social issues, analysis finds
By Dominic Powell
October 21, 2019 — 12.00am
BHP chief executive Andrew Mackenzie has been the most outspoken Australian corporate leader over the past year on social issues such as climate change, according to new analysis.
A cross-reference of the leaders of Australia's listed companies with prominent social issues by media researcher Streem found Mr Mackenzie was the most quoted CEO, racking up 156 mentions in total, 112 of which were in relation to climate change.

Tracked from October 2018 to September 2019, the issues analysed included climate change, domestic violence, equality, sexual harassment, human rights, mental health, Indigenous issues and LGBTIQA issues.
The analysis comes amid clashes between the Morrison government and business leaders over their support for social issues. Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister, Ben Morton, recently warned chief executives to not be seduced by "self-appointed moral guardians" into campaigning on social issues. And in the wake of last month's school strike for climate, Prime Minister Scott Morrison told chief executives to not be "distracted" by issues such as climate change.
Mr Mackenzie has been a prominent advocate of climate action within corporate Australia, recently announcing BHP, one of the world's largest mining companies and significant fossil fuel producer, would devote $500 million towards reducing its own emissions and customers' emissions.
He has also urged the government to place a price on carbon, and BHP recently announced "social value" issues such as climate change would underpin the company's future business decisions.
Following him on the list was fellow corporate activist Alan Joyce, the chief executive of Qantas, with 142 mentions in total.
Climate change was also a prominent issue for Mr Joyce, however mentions on LGBTQIA issues ranked higher, reflecting the chief executive's support of marriage equality during 2017's postal survey.
Mr Joyce also racked up significant mentions for human rights and equality-related issues.
Woodside boss Peter Coleman ranked third with 101 mentions regarding climate change, and frequently outspoken Atlassian chief executive Mike Cannon-Brookes ranked fourth, also for climate change.

At an address to the National Press Club last month, Mr Joyce said companies refraining from weighing in on social issues was 'bad for democracy'.
"We should have a voice on that, and it shouldn't get to a stage if you don't agree, don't speak up, because I think that's bad for democracy," he said.
Their close association with hot button issues such as climate change also reflects the changing environment within corporate Australia, with executives increasingly listening to shareholder and customer demand for greater corporate social responsibility.
On a company name basis, BHP and Qantas still topped the list of mentions, however Rio Tinto, Woodside, Telstra, Woolworths, Macquarie and Commonwealth Bank all made the top ten, with climate change, mental health and discrimination emerging as the most-associated issues.
Newly appointed president of the Business Council of Australia Tim Reed has voiced his support for companies speaking out on social issues as he was a key supporter of marriage equality during his tenure as MYOB chief executive.
"If there is an issue that they feel might be considered a social issue but an issue that is important to their business, then absolutely they should have the right to talk about that," Mr Reed told the ABC.

Thank you for celebrating with us at the 11th Business Achievement Awards!
On behalf of the board of directors and CAMSC staff, thank you for celebrating with us last week at the 11th Business Achievement Awards.
This highly anticipated annual event dedicated the evening to the nominees and winning organizations who share our commitment to supplier diversity that contributes not only to Canada's economic development but also creates jobs and wealth in Aboriginal and minority communities.
Last year, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the awards and CAMSC. This year, we focused on momentum, collaboration and partnership. Since CAMSC's inception in 2004, corporate members have spent $1.7 billion on diverse suppliers. We expect that number to grow as we enter our second decade. We can't afford to stand still. At the gala, we highlighted many initiatives that have been undertaken in recent months and announced new ones that will be undertaken in the coming months.
These new initiatives included delivering on shared events with the Association of Chinese Canadian Entrepreneurs (ACCE) and the Black Business Initiative (BBI). We announced our very first joint event with the Canadian Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC) and the WBE Canada. Last week, we launched our inaugural Inclusive Procurement Leadership Roundtable (IPLR) that will drive thought leadership on how supplier diversity can delivers competitive business, social and economic value in the Canadian marketplace.
We are committed to helping our members succeed – both on the supplier and corporate side. That means, we continue to reach out to our many partners, both national and international, to collaborate on programs that provide opportunities to network, learn and grow.
We were fortunate to have Joset Wright-Lacey, President of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, Inc. from the U.S. as our keynote. She discussed learnings from the organization's over 40 years history and shared her insights to the importance of supplier diversity in the U.S. We are both members of the Global-Link International Program, which allows our members to meet and to work with their counterparts in a number of countries including Australia, S. Africa, China and the U.K.
As we continue to facilitate business relationships between diverse suppliers and corporations, we ask all of you to take advantage of the opportunities that will be provided by CAMSC in upcoming months.
Make the most of the programs and participate in the events. Every event is a chance to make a connection.
Thanks again to our members and supporters who attended the gala last week. I hope you made great connections as you shared in the celebrations.
Each year, the gala is a success because of the team behind it. We thank our generous corporate sponsors and partners. Thanks also to the CAMSC team that works behind the scenes.
Once again, congratulations to all our nominees and our winners who continue to demonstrate the strengths of supplier diversity as an integral part of our economy.
I hope you had a wonderful evening. I know I did. See you next time.


Legal copyright notice is sent when the work of an original author is feared to be stolen by another. For this, legal notice for copyright infringement acts as a protective measure. So, stop and take advice from a good lawyer who can draft legal copyright notice easily. There are many ways to send it, either speed post, personally hand-over or telegram copyright legal notices. You can even watch & learn how to send legal copyright notice in India from our video.
You may have often heard people pointing out copyright issues and filing for copyright cases these days. Why?
Well, that's because many times when one runs out of ideas, one takes inspiration from other sources. Sometimes, this inspiration replicates the other's idea, which raises eyebrows & calls for copyright!
Today, you can protect your work by sending a legal notice for copyright, giving you the right to protect your work from being stolen or any misuse.
You as a copyright holder can even send a legal copyright notice if you perceive that your work might get stolen or someone may infringe your copyright.
To send a legal copyright notice in India, the sender has to be the original author.
While you send a legal notice for copyright infringement, it should contain all the material facts and important details of how the infringement has taken place.
It is very important to note that before sending a legal notice, the copyright holder must have reasonable grounds to believe that their work is being infringed. Since false accusations against another person will not be entertained in Courts.
In order to make sure everything is properly followed, you should hire a good IPR lawyer who can draft a legal notice of copyright infringement.
To refine your lawyer search you can always choose MyAdvo and we can help you through and through!
When to send a legal copyright notice?
How can MyAdvo help in this?
Copyright is a part of Intellectual Property Law. Copyright is the protection one gets by the courts to save from stealing the first and original work of an author.
The copyright protection ensures that the original presenter of the idea or the author gets their proper, due respect and fame for their work.
If there was no such protection, then there would always be the fear of stealing works or someone else presenting original author's work.
When a person infringes the other's copyright protection, then he/she is guilty under the eyes of the law.
Made illegal copies of the literary work and is giving it on a temporary promotional basis or selling them without the permission of the original owner.
Has been directly or indirectly involved in importing copies of the infringed material into India.
Has been involved in performing works in places making a monetary profit from it will be considered as an infringement of copyright protection.
Circulating and selling copyrighted materials to people and cause damages to the author or the owner of the work.
Has been involved in such acts where the interest of the owner or the author gets compromised and prejudiced.
Has reasonable grounds to fear that their work might get stolen.
Has the proof that another person is trying to present their original work as their own.
Wants to save their work beforehand so that no other person can even think of infringing it.
The best thing about it is that you will never have to think again whether someone can steal your work or present it to the world.
Copyright Act in India (pdf) protects the expression of the ideas and not the idea itself.
One gets the copyright protection only for the original work.
The copyright protection grants an exclusive right to the author to enjoy their own work and only they can decide whether to reproduce the work or not.
You should also know and treat computer programs as literary works, which comes under the Copyright Act.
The term of a copyrighted work is usually 60 years.
If the work is literary then the 60 years is counted from the year in which the author died.
In other works like musical works or cinematograph recordings, the term is counted from the year of their publication.
Only police who is not below the rank of a sub-inspector can forfeit and seize the illegal and infringed materials. One can also do this without issuing or showing a warrant.
Only a court not below or inferior to a Metropolitan Magistrate or a Judicial Magistrate of First Class will try and decide the offences committed under the Copyright Act.
A legal notice for copyright infringement in India can also be presented in the Court if required.
The sender of the legal copyright notice has to mention all the facts known to them and relevant to the matter in hand.
When the aggrieved party sends a legal notice for copyright reserved, the receiver can either rectify the situation through amicable settlement or send a reply against the legal copyright notice.
The aggrieved person asks for an injunction from the Court as a measure to stop the infringer from stealing their work or from performing an illegal act.
The sender of the legal copyright notice can also ask for damages and accounts to compensate themselves for the loss and inconvenience suffered due to copyright infringement.
One can treat the infringement of copyrighted material as a criminal offence as well. This will fall under the ambit of Section 63 of the Copyright Protection Act.
The punishment for the offender is both imprisonment and fine. The minimum punishment will be six months imprisonment with a fine which may start from Rs. 50,000.
The fine can also be of one lakh rupees with minimum one-year imprisonment for the second or subsequent offence of the same kind. The high fine and imprisonment will deter people from committing infringement of copyright protection.
There is pdf file in respect to legal notice of copyright infringement here.
A legal notice format for copyright infringement should be written on a lawyer's letterhead. The sample of legal copyright notice format is available here, but it is advisable to take help of a good lawyer.
You can even learn the same from us by watching how to send a legal notice for copyrighted content in our video.
It should contain the name, description, and place of residence/office of the accused person.
It should mention the date from when the default or the infringement of copyright has taken place.
Also, mention all the facts and grievances in details with proper dates.
The legal notice should mention how the accused has caused inconvenience and infringed the rights of the original author of the work.
The legal notice must contain in detail the course of action the copyright holder is planning to take.
It should offer a reasonable time, usually 15 to 30 days to settle the matter through amicable discussion.
The lawyer will have to duly sign the notice and retain the copy of the same.
When a copyright holder makes accusations against a person of stealing their expression of an idea or infringing his copyright. Then he/she can send a legal notice to the accused person informing him about their plan to institute a legal suit if such infringement continues.
Since a lawyer's letterhead is of prime importance in sending a legal notice, therefore you should seek help from a legal practitioner before you take a step ahead.
A good lawyer can guide you well on the entire process. You can consult a lawyer in the field of IPR near you in India through MyAdvo.

Texas Tech has taken two of the last three meetings with Texas, with each Red Raiders win occurring in Austin. Texas has won four straight in Lubbock dating back to 2010, the longest streak since the Longhorns won each of their first five trips to Lubbock (1934, 1950, 1962, 1964 and 1966).
Texas lost, 42-41, to West Virginia, despite tallying 520 yards of offense. The loss was its fifth loss since 2015 with 500+ yards of offense, including a home loss to West Virginia in 2016; prior to 2015, Texas had just one such loss in the Big 12 era (since 1996) -- a 48-24 loss at Baylor in 2011.
Sam Ehlinger passed for 354 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in the loss, adding 52 yards and a rushing touchdown. It was Ehlinger's third game this season with four or more total touchdowns, the most in a single season by a Longhorn since Colt McCoy in 2009.
Texas Tech lost to Oklahoma, 51-46, allowing the Sooners to rush for 323 yards. The Red Raiders have allowed 300+ rushing yards 16 times in the last five seasons, going 3-13 in those games; that's tied for the second-most such games in that span (San Jose State, 19; New Mexico State, 16).
Antoine Wesley recorded 12 catches for 199 yards in the loss to Oklahoma, the most yards without a touchdown by a Tech receiver since Robert Johnson tallied 209 yards and no touchdowns in September 2005. His 1176 yards this season are the most through nine team games by a Red Raider since Michael Crabtree had 1451 in 2007.
Expect an all-out war when No. 19 Texas travels to West Texas to square off with improving Texas Tech on Saturday night at Jones AT&T Stadium.
This is never a rivalry for the weak of spirit, but this year's game is a little more important than usual. It will have plenty to say in the race for the Big 12 Championship and maybe for the coaching future at Texas Tech for the likeable Kliff Kingsbury.
Both teams have lost two straight games to fall into the second tier of teams battling for the league championship. Texas (6-3, 4-2) can still earn a trip to the title game but needs help from other teams while Texas Tech cannot win the conference but will have say who plays for the championship.
The Red Raiders (5-4, 3-3) need one win to become bowl-eligible. They finish the regular season at Kansas State and against Baylor in Arlington, Texas.
The Longhorns have no time or, as coach Tom Herman said, any inclination to pout or wallow in self-pity after losing 42-41 to No. 9 West Virginia at home last Saturday on a gutsy two-point conversion by the Mountaineers.
"I'm proud and frustrated at the same time," Herman said. "I'm so proud of the way that we fought two weeks ago in Stillwater. I'm extremely proud of the level of intensity and physicality that we continue to play with. That is something that will never waver in this program. I'm extremely proud of that.
"I'm certainly frustrated that we couldn't close the deal this past weekend, and got off to such a poor start the weekend prior."
Instead, Texas will focus on overcoming several key injuries that affected the proficiency of its defense and finding a way to regain its swagger on that side of the ball after two down weeks.
Herman said the defense has been tentative in the losses to Oklahoma State and West Virginia.
"For whatever reason we haven't cut it loose at times," Herman said. "That's on us to figure out why. Maybe it's an uncertainty. Yeah, just playing tentative at times. The easiest way to alleviate some of that is to trim down your call sheet a little bit, and make sure that guys are ultimately confident in what we're doing."
Texas Tech lost at home to No. 6 Oklahoma 51-46 last Saturday and may have lost freshman starting quarterback Alan Bowman for the season in the process. Bowman sustained a recurrence of the collapsed lung that he initially suffered Sept. 29 against West Virginia and did not play in the second half.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Bowman was still hospitalized for observation, putting his status for the Texas game, as well as the remainder of the season, in serious doubt.
Kingsbury said Bowman has taken a lot of hits this season and the cumulative effect of that pounding, rather than one specific tackle against Oklahoma, is likely the reason for the reoccurrence of Bowman's injury.
"He's played in four games and gotten hit a lot." Kingsbury said. "I don't know if you watched those games, but he got hit a lot. So we didn't think that would be much of a difference. We're playing football."
Saturday night's game will be the 68th meeting between Texas Tech and Texas and the 59th consecutive year the teams have played each other. The Longhorns hold a 50-17 all-time advantage in the series, includes 20-10 in games played in Lubbock.
The Red Raiders will celebrate Senior Night on Saturday, and Kingsbury wants to send his players out the right way.
"We have a bunch of guys who have been here four and five years who have really been through it since they've been here," Kingsbury said. "Some ups and downs and have fought and fought. And you're seeing some of the resolve in the way this team plays. And it's led by that group.
"We're obviously playing a great team, but I want to make sure they have a great senior day and we play as well as we can as a team."
The Red Raiders have won two of the past three meetings against their in-state rival as Texas Tech secured a 48-45 victory in 2015 and a 27-23 win a year ago. Texas Tech had not previously won back-to-back games in Austin in school history.
The Red Raiders will be looking for its first win over Texas at home since the thrilling 39-33 victory in 2008. The Longhorns were the top-ranked team in the country before Graham Harrell found Michael Crabtree on a 28-yard touchdown strike with 1 second remaining.
Texas Tech Tech will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of that team this weekend.

Q: Remove trailing tags from a HTML textfield in PHP and/or TinyMCE I have a problem: I am using TinyMCE for a text field. It all works fine until a user hits the enter button some times at the end of his input (new lines that are not needed). So for some inputs I save

CONTENT

or

CONTENT

Since this input is displayed at other places of the webpage in a certain design, the trailing empty paragraphs and breaklines can trash the layout.
So I am looking for a way to check wheter these empty tags exists at the end of a string in PHP to remove them (for previously created entries) and if possible, I would like to configure TinyMCE to not allow such tags at all (not as important as the PHP solution).
Does anyone have an idea on how to do that? I can find/replace all empty paragraphs but this is too hard since users are using them to create gaps between their inputs. I really just want to find the trailing ones.

Groups of five or more households within a neighbourhood (i.e. easy walking distance from each other) commit to the eight month project, starting in late July. At its most basic level, this will entail taking part in a number of activities which are planned for all Greener Neighbourhoods. These include a project launch, ecological footprinting, a civil defence challenge supported by the Wellington Region Emergency Management Office, a waste audit, a nutrient recycling workshop, a water conservation workshop and a home eco-audit workshop.
Beyond these however there is plenty of scope for groups to pursue their own interests and projects, assisted by Council staff as necessary. Over the course of the project your neighbourhood will have access to assistance with gardening, water conservation, energy conservation, travel planning, biodiversity, surface water management, waste and recycling. As groups of five or more households, Greener Neighbourhoods are able to apply to the Waste Reduction Grants for Community Projects and book free group consultations with the Green Gardener. Other Council grant pools, such as the Community Fund and funding assistance for rain/greywater systems may also be available for group and/or household projects.
1. Get in touch with Council. The Sustainable Communities Coordinator can answer your questions and let you know if anyone nearby has expressed interest.
2. Invite your neighbours - you don't all have to be on the same street but you do need to be close enough to encourage that neighbourhood feel (i.e. live within easy walking distance). Door-knocking with a written invitation to get together and discuss Greener Neighbourhood seems to be the most effective method.
3. Host a gathering. Meeting to discuss doing positive things in their neighbourhood with people they're getting to know and like gets people enthusiastic. The Sustainable Communities Coordinator can join you to answer questions.
4. If you find at least five keen households in your area, you're on your way to a greener, friendlier, more resilient neighbourhood. Fill out a registration form now!

PROVIDE TIME OUT, AND THE CHANCE TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO DO UNDERSTAND.
WE MIGHT EVEN FIND OURSELVES TALKING ABOUT OTHER THINGS!
Getting through the day. From meltdowns to freezes, dealing with anxious behaviour.
Getting through the week. Strategies for avoiding an anxiety attack in the first place. Understanding the triggers, and diversion and distraction techniques.
Getting through life. Planning for recovery. Learning to help young people retrain their thought patterns (and retraining our own).
Getting help. Sharing local services and learning how we can support each other.
Anxiety has a way of taking over, so with that in mind, this will not be ALL about the anxiety. In fact, the whole point of this is to figure out how to leave the anxiety behind. So, in the name of putting our own oxygen masks on first, we are going to include some self-care, fun and general happiness. By sharing ideas, supporting each other, making new friends and learning some new skills we will empower each other to find the best solution for our children.

Oklahoma death toll reaches 139 as virus outbreak continues
OKLAHOMA CITY — Three more people have died in Oklahoma after contracting the coronavirus, bringing the state's death toll to 139, state health officials reported on Saturday.
Another 105 Oklahomans have tested positive for the virus as the total number of cases reached 2,570, the State Department of Health reported.
The three new deaths were a man between 36 and 49 years of age from Oklahoma County; a woman between 50 and 64 years of age from Wagoner County; and a woman who was in the 65 and older age group from Pottawatomie County.
Officials have said more than one-third of the people who have died of COVID-19 in Oklahoma are residents of nursing homes or long-term care facilities.
Gov. Kevin Stitt said Friday if the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19 in Oklahoma continues to trend downward, some businesses could begin to open back up as early as May 1.

"The 300 objects on display range from terrific toys — such as the three-wheeled micro car above. Plus a shiny Vespa motor scooter, an even shinier Sputnik and some Apollo space suits showing signs of wear — to futuristic frocks by designers such as Paco Rabanne and Pierre Cardin.
There are Eames chairs and Dieter Ram radios, and Raymond Loewy's drawings for the interiors of spacecraft…. Robert Rauschenberg's 1963 painting "Kite," with its menacing military imagery, contrasts with the near-primitive Socialist-Realist pathos of a 1950 tapestry woven by Polish art students.

My DH and I are off to Stockholm for 4 days in February next year. We wanted a cold holiday for a change and want to make the most of such a beautiful city... So, where is there that we *have* to go and what is there we *have* to see?
Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Stockholm is a fabulous city. I loved walking down the cobblestone streets in Old Town. Too much to do in 4 days. However, here is a start. Everyone speaks English. Very easy to navigate because the people are friendly and helpful.
Hopes this helps. Have fun!
8. ABBA Museum (oh yes...an actual museum to the music group...lol). I have not been there.
I love Stockholm and think it's a great winter weekend destination if you live in Europe. CCole187's recommendations are spot on. It's also worth doing a hop-on hop-off bus tour and a canal tour to get your bearings at the beginning of your stay. The museums are really good - my favourites are the National Museum, Moderna Museet and the Nordiska Museum. Fotografiska is also good if you like photography. I tend to pay for my activities on websites like Expedia in advance (the walking tours are good) but just schmoozing around the city also works for me. Enjoy!
Hope Mediana see this, she lives in Konungariket Sverige.
I agree schmoozing around the city is really great!
Yes, I saw this Just not sure what to recommend. Feb can be hit or miss but we usually have snow. Is there something specific OP is interested in?
CCole's recs are pretty much in line with what I know. And yes, simply wandering around the city is definitely just as enjoyable as anything else.
-Sundbergs Konditori (address Järntorget 83, Old Town): supposed to be the oldest existing cafe/confectionery in Stockholm, founded in 1785. Charming interior and tasty, reasonably priced sweets which I loved - including, of course, Swedish princess cake.
-Hermans (address Fjällgatan 23B; website www.hermans.se): a delicious organic vegetarian buffet restaurant with a gorgeous waterfront view of the city - if you look up its location on Google Maps you'll know what I mean! They change food themes every day I think, and I found it well priced for Stockholm.
For a taste of the less touristy side of Stockholm, I reckon the Södermalm district is great. Vibrant, hip, good food, good fashion, a bit more eclectic.
Thank you everyone for your wonderful suggestions! It has made me even more excited to go on our trip (finally booked the flights today - yay!).
CCole187 - All of your suggestions look great (had a bit of a Google session!) - Skyview looks especially amazing, so I think that will be going on our *must do* list. Might have to have a mooch around the ABBA museum to - just to say we were there!
Mediana - Nothing specific that I am interested in, just like to see as much of a city as possible while there... Although, DH does like architecture and historic buildings (as do I) so it would be nice to find something in that respect (eg. St Peter's in Rome, Notre Dame in Paris etc.) I do try my best to eat local foods when I am visiting somewhere, so a nice restaurant with proper Swedish food would be on my list.
I was thinking of going to the Ice Bar as well, just for the experience - I know you have to book for this in advance - is it worth it??
Enjoy. I loved the city. The people were amazing. I visited a couple of Octobers ago and the city was literally "golden" from the trees turning. Beautiful. Restaurant you might try Mathias Dahlgren - reservations are essential. Fredsgatan 12 -reservations a must. Wedholms Fisk for fish. I would go to the Ice Bar if for nothing else, you can say you were there!
A fun little website is: www.schmap.com/Stockholm/introduction_neighborhoods/ which explains each of the neighborhoods. You will see amazing architecture everywhere!
I organized a team outing to Stockholm and would recommend the boat tours with Stromma, a walk in Gamlastan (old city) and a visit to the Vasa museum.
If you like Haute Cuisine you have to try F12 Fredsgatan. Go to Fem Sma Hus for traditional Swedish dishes and check out the Ostermalm Halls with food stalls. However, there are other places that are great, but that I couldn't make in that time.
We will be there for my husband's 30th birthday so might be tempted to go to F12 for his birthday dinner. Sounds like the perfect place.
For a nice restaurant I would recommend Frantzen-Lindeberg It's laid back but with great food. It's located in the Old town so you can combine it with (hopefully) a winter walk.
Have you decided on a Hotel yet?
Not yet. When we were in Paris in September we got an apartment through airbnb which worked really well for us so have been looking at this as an option for Stockholm too. However, we are going with my mother-in-law and her partner too (she wants to be with her son on his 30th birthday!) and they are less keen on this option... Is there a hotel that you would recommend?
Thanks for the restaurant tip too... I'll have to look into that one. We will be there for 4 nights so will have time to try a few nice places hopefully!
I would say apartment rental in Stockholm is not even on the map. There are such shortage for apartments and the rules for renting out second hand are very strict. I've been standing in queue for an apartment since 1997 and I have still not been able to get an offer for anything bigger than a one room apartment in the city. There are some companies that specialize in corporate apartments but the rent is very high. I'm not saying its impossible, but almost. I wouldn't hope for that option.
Do you know in what area you'd like to stay?
Finding the right hotel will depend on your budget, but the "Grande Dame" of Stockholm is Grand Hotel Stockholm on the waterfront. However, you will want to upgrade to Classic or Superior Room because anything less is tiny...tiny...tiny. Great location, steps from museums and historic sites. This is on the more expensive side. I don't know if they are still undergoing rennovations or not. There is also the Hilton Stockholm Slussen. Nobis Hotel is contemporary and has a nice feel. Norrmalmstorg, in the heart of the city. Norrmalmstorg is the most central and prestigious square in downtown Stockholm, located in the center of the city's business, shopping and entertainment district. Enjoy your travels! I loved Stockholm. Was there one October and the city was golden. People are amazing.

Justin Turner's decision to defy MLB COVID isolation understandable but irresponsible
By Joe Pantorno
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (10) celebrates with the Commissioner's Trophy after the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays to win the World Series in game six of the 2020 World Series at Globe Life Field
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
Major League Baseball couldn't get entirely out of the woods scotch-free.
After nearly two months without a positive COVID-19 test, the Los Angeles Dodgers learned during their World Series-clinching Game 6 victory that veteran infielder Justin Turner had tested positive for the virus, forcing the team to immediately remove him from the game in the eighth inning.
This came after an initial test on Monday came back inconclusive.
Yet, after being yanked from the game and put into isolation, he came out to celebrate on the field with his teammates after defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 on Tuesday night.
He had a mask on at times, full contact, all smiles.
In the grand scheme of things, Turner had been in close contact with his teammates for the previous few days without any restrictions when he was surely positive for the virus — unless it's a false positive.
A few more moments wouldn't have done much, but it is still an overwhelmingly irresponsible move to make with friends, family, and even children on the field to celebrate — not to mention fans in the stands with little social distancing.
Yes, that's grounds to label it as a potential superspreader.
MLB officials ordered Turner to go back into isolation, but he refused, milking the moment that he had waited 12 MLB seasons for.
With that in mind, he received the backing from Dodgers president Andrew Friedman following the game.
"He wanted to come out and take a picture with the trophy," Friedman said. "I can't overstate what he's meant to us. Him being a free agent, I don't think anyone was going to stop him from going out. I think he was mindful of other people, especially other people he hadn't been around."
Again, understandable, but reprehensibly irresponsible if it does infect others or spread to those with existing preconditions.
"Thanks to everyone reaching out! I feel great, no symptoms at all," Turner wrote from his Twitter account. "Just experienced every emotion you can possibly imagine. Can't believe I couldn't be out there to celebrate with my guys! So proud of this team & unbelievably happy for the City of LA."
The Dodgers underwent COVID tests upon their return to the team hotel.

Retired police sergeant gets court summons for speaking at lockdown protest
By Sheila Gunn Reid
Ordinary Canadians are being fined extortionate amounts for going outside while the prime minister visits cottage country. Can you help us fight this unreasonable infringement on our civil liberties?
Goal: 8000 Donors
Joe Jakubowski is a retired Ontario Provincial Police officer and former policing instructor, but he's found himself on the wrong side of the law after being very publicly against the pandemic lockdowns.
In April 2021, Joe attended and spoke at the Haldimand-Norfolk No More Lockdowns rally in Simcoe, Ontario. According to Joe, after local OPP officers found a video of his speech from the event online, the detachment issued him a provincial summons to court for violating the lockdown restrictions on public gatherings.
Although Joe hung up his uniform for good a few years ago, he still takes his oath to protect the Charter rights of his fellow Canadians as seriously as he did when he first raised his hand to swear it. However, Joe could face thousands of dollars in fines for standing up for the civil liberties of the citizens he promised to protect.
The pandemic has been rife with stories of police officers mistreating citizens during protests, and abusing journalists who report on the lockdowns and the heavy-handedness of the cops towards protesters. We don't hear a lot about the good cops who care about freedom.
That's why I am proud to be able to help Joe through our Fight the Fines civil liberties project, so he can fight his lockdown ticket in court at no cost to him with the help of top civil and criminal litigators. If you'd like to help Joe and the nearly 2,500 other Canadians who are being aided through FightTheFines.com, please donate today.
All donations now qualify for a charitable tax receipt through our partnership with the registered Canadian charity, The Democracy Fund.

Stomp in Missoula Montana
Stomp in Missoula Montana to witness STOMP perform live at the Adam Center on University of Montana campus. On Tuesday, February 2, 2016, at 7:30 pm the inventive and invigorating stage show that's dance, music and theatrical performance blended together in one electrifying rhythm.
Percussion instruments are some of the oldest music-makers in the world, perhaps only second to the human voice itself. This diverse family of instruments is integral to music in every known culture, and includes a vast array of musical sounds. A "percussion instrument" is any instrument whose sound is generated via striking, rubbing, shaking or otherwise impacting a surface to create audible vibrations. Stomp has a gift for taking ordinary objects and turn them into incredible beats.
STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, utterly unique, and appeals to audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered an armful of awards and rave reviews, and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms.
The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured and the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans. As USA Today says, "STOMP finds beautiful noises in the strangest places." STOMP. See what all the noise is about.
Blue Mountain Bed and Breakfast hosts guests from many different areas of the world. Guests visit Missoula to experience outstanding performances, witness competitive sports, walk historic trails, ski beautiful snow, taste delicious cuisine, shop incredible retail, and so much more! Blue Mountain B&B guests enjoy being near to all the fun while still being at a gorgeous and peaceful mountain setting with views of the Bitterroot River.

Q: Существует ли возможность автоматически копировать нужные DLL в папку с программой Есть Qt версии 5.5. Там динамически линкуются все библиотеки (*.dll).
Вопрос: существует ли возможность автоматически брать и копировать нужные *.dll-файлы в папку с программой?

A: Да можно. Для этого в составе Qt есть утилита windeployqt (ближе к концу мотайте, и к стати статья очень подробно основные вопросы про деплой разжевывает). У windeployqt были небольшие проблемы с QML, но я QML не использую поэтому ничего сказать не могу.
К слову, для развертывания на OS X есть аналогичная утилита - macdeployqt (тоже до конца проматать нужно).

Becoming by Michelle Obama has been an excellent read! The former First Lady shares important lessons she learned growing up on the South Side of Chicago as well as details about her family's adjustment to living in the White House. Her story has left me deeply inspired and motivated to pursue a fulfilling career. If you enjoy memoirs and autobiographies, I highly suggest you give this a read when you can.
"KevonStage" (aka Kevin Fredericks) is a popular comedian whose star is definitely on the rise. I've been a fan of his for a little while now and I was elated when he and his awesome wife Melissa started a relationship/marriage podcast. They tackle all kinds of relevant topics and share such a healthy rapport with one another. The podcast is insightful, but also hilarious!
Why have one podcast when you can have two? "KevonStage" teams up with fellow comedian DoBoy to comment on everything from Christianity to Cardi B. These two unlikely friends have kept me cracking up during my work commute. They keep it honest and they keep it entertaining. My favorite episode so far involved Kev reading the results of DoBoy's paternity test live on the air. Yup, they GO there!

Netflix content reigned supreme for me this month. I wrote a full review for Bird Box, which you can read by clicking above. As for the Fyre documentary, I am blown away by all of the reveals. I also watched Hulu's, and you can read my thoughts on both by clicking above.
If I'm honest this show sounded dumb in the beginning. I thought to myself, "Do we really need yet another singing competition on T.V.?" and the answer is a resounding "yes"! The Masked Singer isn't about finding the next big superstar, because its contestants are already celebrities. Every week they perform in ridiculous costumes before a live audience and panel of celebrity judges. So far, Antonio Brown, Terry Bradshaw, Tommy Chong and Margaret Cho have all been unmasked. There are still several stars competing on the show and I must say I am on the edge of my seat every week trying to figure out just who he is behind each mask. New episodes air on FOX on Wednesdays, but you can also find episodes streaming on Hulu.
Kimmy is probaly the most inspiring character that Netflix has created. She's got a lot of heart and her outlook on life is hilarious, albeit naive.
I love all of the ridiculous characters on this show; namely Kimmy (duh), her self-absorbed boss Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski) and bestie Titus Andromedon (Titus Burgess), an aspiring Broadway actor. The mishaps this crew get into along with landlord Lillian (Carol Kane), will have you rolling on the floor in laughter. I dare you not to laugh (or sing along with the catchy opening theme song). The second half of the final season aired on Netflix this month, which makes me really sad. But on the upside, rumor has it that Kimmy will get the movie treatment in the future!
What were some of your favorites in January? Any books, films, or music that I should check out? Leave your suggestions in the comments down below!
I heard about The Masked Singer and was like thinking I'd never watch it. Although, I'm thinking I'm going to check it out on Hulu now, LoL. It's a super ridiculous concept, but kind of genius at the same time, LoL. Plus, it seems like Joel McHale is on it now as another judge or commentator, so it seems like it's worth a watch.
I love Kimmy Schmidt too. Still haven't gotten around to watching those last episodes just yet. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be in denial when I watch the series finale, LoL. It was just a one of a kind special show. Super sad to see it end also.
I am hopefully going to watch Birdbox soon. I didn't realize it was a book adaptation at first. I figured I read the book first, but I've heard the two are very different, so I might just end up watching the film and than reading the book. I find it to distracting to watch an adaptation when it's so different than the book sometimes.
One of my favorite TV watches for January was finally getting around to watching The Good Wife spinoff, The Good Fight. Totally loved! Also read To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han, and the Netflix film was perfectly adapted.
Bring back Kimmy! Crossed fingers that the movie happens. Not ready to say goodbye for real.
I have heard the novel and movie for Bird Box are quite different, especially the ending. Beware!
I lovedddd To All the Boys! Such a cute movie with talented young actors just oozing star power. I heard a rumor that Netflix is working on a sequel! Not sure if it will happen but we'll see.
Thanks =)! The only time I feel like I ever actually know what I'm talking about is when I talk about anything Pop Culture related especially TV, LoL.
Definitely going to be checking out The Masked Singer later this week!
Just started watching the last episodes of Kimmy Schimdt finally! I loved the Sliding Doors episode, genius!
Yes, Netflix is going to be making the sequel. I didn't read the 2nd book in the series yet, but the 1st book was so good so I imagine the 2nd one is just as good. Not sure when I'll read it, but hopefully within this year.

Donald Sinclair (Dòmhnall Chaluim Bàin) is widely regarded as one of Scotland's greatest tradition-bearers of the twentieth century. With almost 1,500 recordings of him on the Tobar an Dualchais website, his recordings are a vivid testimony of life in the islands in the late 19th and 20th centuries and leave us a precious legacy of Gaelic oral tradition for generations to come.
Born in the township of Balephuil in Tiree on 6 August 1885, Donald Sinclair was the youngest child of Malcolm Sinclair and Christina McArthur. His father, a tailor and fisherman to trade, was a well-known tradition bearer, the folklorist the Rev. John Gregorson Campbell having recorded many of his stories and poems earlier in the 19th century. While growing up, Donald learned much of his father's material, including stories from the Ulster Cycle featuring the legendary warrior Cuchullin, which he shared with Eric R. Cregeen when he was recording for the School of Scottish Studies in the 1970s.
Donald grew up in a strong Gaelic-speaking community, where a sharp tongue and quick wit were prized qualities. At one time there were over a dozen bards living in Balephuil and as a result it had been known locally as 'Baile nam Bàrd' (Township of the Poets). Donald describes in a recording from 1969 how these poets used to gather in one house and entertain each other by exchanging lampooning verses. Donald himself came from a long line of bards and he composed poems, mainly satires on local people, but didn't want them to be recorded. In this recording he talks about the Cliar Sheanachain, who were poets who took their fill from the tables of noblemen until a person could be found who could match their wit and intelligence.
Donald went to Heylipol School where he was taught in English. After leaving at the age of fourteen, he worked for the MacNeills who had a farm in Greenhill. They also had a library of Gaelic books to which Donald had access, and it was with the help of these books that he first began to read and write in Gaelic. Following his spell on the farm, Donald then started work in the quarries at Balphetrish and Ruaig producing road stone. He worked on building the pier at Scarinish from 1910-14 before joining the Royal Navy at the start of the First World War, where he served in the West Indies, the North Atlantic, and the Adriatic.
On Donald's return from the Navy, he worked as a shoemaker and crofter. He inherited a croft in West Hynish and lived there until his later years, after which he moved in with his nephew and his wife. Donald had an excellent memory and the breadth of his knowledge of local family history was outstanding. In this recording he talks about a blacksmith called Neil MacDonald who was living in Balephuil at the time of the 1851 census.
Donald was first recorded by the School of Scottish Studies in 1953, when Calum Iain Maclean visited him, and although Donald was under the weather at the time, he left a great impression on Calum. Hamish Henderson recorded him in 1958 and Dr John MacInnes made recordings of Donald throughout the 1960s. Fellow fieldworker Eric Cregeen visited Donald on many occasions between 1968 and 1974 and his style of storytelling would often leave Eric spellbound: "When [Donald] was telling of the great storm [in July 1856], you were there on the shore watching the boats founder, and felt the terror and pity of it. Then the melancholy would go from his voice, and his face would light up and his eyes shine as he recounted some wild escapade of one of his ancestors. The width of his sympathies and the rich complexity of his nature were part of his greatness as a seanchaidh [tradition-bearer]."
Donald passed away on 3 April 1975.

The N-scale ATSF Northern Line
by Carsten S. Lundsten - updated April 2014
This was my first layout, built in the basement of my previous home. The room was 5.0x3.8 m (16'5"x12'6") and allowed for a decent N-scale layout. The layout construction started in 1997 and in 2012 the layout was dismantled since we were moving. It was bittersweet to dismantle such an old friend but then it was my first layout and left a lot to be desired. The move would allow me to start over and even on a bigger layout.
After buying my house in the spring of 1995 I started working on the track plan. Actually I had already sketched a possible layout after seeing the house the first time. As time went on, more and more ideas came up. In the summer of 1995 I went on a 2 week railfanning tour to the US - my first time. Once home again I was very set on modeling the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe (AT&SF) mainline through the Mojave Desert. My choice was the junction with the Arizona and California, the former AT&SF Parker Subdivision, at Cadiz CA. I drew a lot of track plans but no matter what I did I always ended up with a layout that would quickly become boring to operate. I also evaluated other ideas, like modeling parts of the Tehachapi line, but I wasn't able to find the balance between what I wanted operationally and building a layout that would also look good. I more or less put the project on hold, searching for a good idea.
Sometime during late 1996 my good friend Raymond Stern sent me an article by Benno Wiesmüller from August 1996 Continental Modeller, suggesting a layout based on the small town of Lamy NM. Lamy is located on the old AT&SF single track mainline from Belen (Dalies) NM to La Junta CO, and is the place where the branch line to the town of Santa Fe connects with the mainline. I hadn't seen the old mainline myself, but a video showing lots of cozy operations, passenger trains (the Southwest Chief) and semaphore signals had already opened my eyes for the old line. The article in Continental Modeller sent me back to the drawing board, and after a lot of designing, undesigning and redesigning I finally ended up with my current track plan. The basic track plan has seen very few changes since then, but Aztec Yard (formerly named Beanville) was rebuilt several times.
The Track Plan
The layout concept was a walk-around type of layout, i.e. the tracks ran in narrow diorama-type scenes, separated by high backdrops where necessary, allowing operators to walk along their trains without duckunders. I first saw this layout concept in a video featuring David Barrow and his Cat Mountain and Santa Fe Railroad. It immediately turned on my lightbulb. For some reason this type of layout is very rare over here in Europe. The mainline was almost 30 m (100') long and never ran through the same scene twice. The layout had a common staging area (with return loop) for both ends of the visible mainline, and as such was a loop-to-loop type of layout. Later the staging yard was removed and a new one was to be built in a naighboring room but it never came to be.
The setting was a mostly fictitious part of the old AT&SF mainline over Glorieta and Raton passes. The track plan is shown above, with a raw sketch of the scenery. Only the town of Lamy was to be modeled true to a specific prototype. The rest of the layout was just meant to catch the "feel" of northern New Mexico. The scenery along the lower wall was inspired by the area between Albuquerque and Lamy, Coyote bore some resemblance to Glorieta, and Tailor Canyon was inspired by Shoemaker Canyon. Aztec was ever scenicked and I hadn't made up my mind what it should be like. High plains like the Wagon Mound to Raton area was an likely option, as Aztec Yard and crew change point was somewhat inspired by Raton NM.
The layout was set in the summer of 1995. This was when I visited the US of A for the first time, and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway was an impressive sight. I didn't visit "my" line in 1995, but still these last months of the AT&SF had to be my choise for my railroad. Let's step back in time and tour the layout on a southbound heavy grain train:
Traveling north (railroad eastbound) the train enters the layout from the tunnel at "B". The line is prototypically operated under Track Warrant Control and Automatic Block Signaling (well, signals were only installed between Aztec and Lamy). At "B" we're within Aztec yard limits. To our left another line becomes visible. This is the Aztec Western RR, a shortline connecting an industrial park some 30 miles away.
The train passes the start of Aztec Siding and yard, and runs along the yard. Just where the big curve at the east end of Aztec starts is the yard office, located next to the little engine service facility. The train stops here for a crew change. Our helper set for the climb through Tailor Canyon waits next to the yard office. After the crew change, the train pulls ahead past the engine facility and the business district (not shown on the sketch above) inside the curve. The train stops with the lead locomotives through the curve. The helper crew separates the train and the head end pulls ahead to allow room for the helper to cut in at the crossover from the yard.
After reassembling the train and doing the air test the train gets a track warrant, checks the automatic block signal just ahead of the switches is green and throttles up. The main, the siding and the yard lead come together and the 3% climb starts. The train slowly snakes its way up and into a long lefthand curve towards Tailor Canyon. In the middle of the curve we cross Tailor Rd and Tailor Creek before heading almost straight, crossing the creek and the road again. After following the side of the canyon for a short while, the line curves sharply right, past a home and out of the canyon. At the end of the curve Coyote siding starts. Shortly thereafter the 3% climb changes to a 2% descent. The line curves right through the little settlement of Coyote and about at East Switch Coyote the grade flattens to 1.5%. The train rolls forward to position the helpers at East Switch Coyote. Coyote siding is fairly short and mostly used for the helpers and the local. After cutting the helpers out the train accelerate across the relatively flat land.
On the way to Lamy across high desert plateau our train passes a small stone transfer industry to the left (where formerly Duolith Cement was located). The train drops downgrade in a righthand curve towards West Switch Lamy, dynamics howling, to stop at the West Switch Lamy to line itself into the siding. To the left is the small yard and wye belonging to the branch line to Santa Fe. Since 1992 the branch line has been operated by the Santa Fe Southern Railway. After passing the depot, which is still active as the Amtrak stop for the town of Santa Fe, the train stops at the end of the siding waits for the westbound SouthWest Chief. Today the Chief's meet at Coyote, so the grainer will stay in the hole a while for the eastbound Chief and then follow him east.

Der Rajon Korabel (, ) ist ein Stadtteil der südukrainischen Oblasthauptstadt Cherson. Er wurde im Jahr 1965 als Rajon Komsomolskij gegründet und erhielt 2016 seinen aktuellen Namen. Der Umfang seines Gebiets änderte sich im Lauf der Zeit mehrmals. Im Stadtrajon liegen neben zahlreichen Wohnquartieren auch die großen Industriegebiete und die meisten Hafenanlagen von Cherson.

Geografie
Der Stadtteil erstreckt sich über ein Gebiet von 130 Quadratkilometern mit einer Bevölkerung von etwa 120.000 Personen. Er umfasst die "Mikrodistrikte" Schumenski, Korabel, Zabalka, Suharne, Schitloselische, Selische-4 und Selische-5 sowie seit 2020 auch das Gebiet der westlich des Flusses Wyroschyna liegenden Dörfer Komyschany, Symiwnyk, Blahowischtschenske und Pryoserne, die früher die "Siedlungsratsgemeinde Komyschany" bildeten und zur Agglomeration Cherson gezählt werden.

Der größtenteils überbaute Stadtteil liegt am rechten Ufer des Dnepr und westlich des Stadtzentrums von Cherson. Im Flussabschnitt am Rajon Korabel beginnt das Dneprdelta mit verzweigten Flussläufen, Seen und Feuchtgebieten oberhalb des Dnepr-Bug-Liman. Ein Seitenarm des Dnepr im Stadtrajon ist der Fluss Koschowa, der von größter Bedeutung für die Wirtschaft der Stadt Cherson ist. Auf der Dneprinsel Karantynni (Quarantäneinsel) befinden sich Anlagen des Hydroparks Cherson und ein Tierpark und am Pohorile-Persche-See ein öffentliches Strandbad. Im Stadtteil mündet von Norden der Dnepr-Nebenfluss Wyroschyna in den Koschowafluss.

Die Grenze zwischen dem Stadtteil Korabel und dem Stadtzentrum mit dem Rajon Suworow verläuft vom Odessaplatz am Dneprufer aus der Worontschowskistrasse entlang gegen Norden bis zur historischen Pankratiusbrücke und folgt dann weiter gegen Nordwesten der Robochastrasse und der Autobahn nach Mykolajiw. Am nordwestlichen Rand des Stadtrajons liegt das Gelände des Flughafens von Cherson. Im Norden befinden sich neben der Ausfallstraße nach Mykolajiw große Tanklager und andere Infrastruktureinrichtungen.

Zwischen den zahlreichen Hafenanlagen im Stadtbezirk Korabel, besonders dem Flusshafen Cherson, und dem linken, südlichen Dneprufer verkehren Fährverbindungen. Ganz im Südwesten des Rajon liegt am Dneprufer der Erdölhafen von Cherson. Die Häfen sind an das Eisenbahnnetz der Ukraine angeschlossen. Der Schiffsverkehr über den Dnepr hatte während der Besatzungszeit nach dem russischen Überfall auf die Ukraine im Frühjahr 2022 eine große Bedeutung für die Logistik der russischen Militärverwaltung, besonders seit die Antoniwkabrücke nach ukrainischen Angriffen für den Schwerverkehr unbrauchbar geworden war, und für die Evakuierung eines Teils der Stadtbevölkerung im Herbst 2022.

Das Quartier Zabalka im Ostteil des Rajon bestand im 19. Jahrhundert aus einfachen Handwerkersiedlungen zwischen der historischen Festung Cherson und dem Fluss Koschowa. Im 20. Jahrhundert wurde das Gebiet westlich der Altstadt großflächig überbaut. Es hat mehrere Straßenzüge, die ehemaligen, eingedolten Wasserrinnen zum Fluss Koschowa folgen. Im Quartier stehen die in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts errichteten Heiliggeist-Kathedrale und Sankt-Nikolaus-Seefahrerkathedrale. Westlich davon liegt das Gebiet des alten Zabalkow-Friedhofs, der kurz nach der Stadtgründung im späten 18. Jahrhundert angelegt wurde, und etwas weiter nördlich der Jüdische Friedhof. In Cherson gab es vor der Russischen Revolution mehr als zwei Dutzend jüdische Gebetshäuser. Die Chabad-Synagoge wurde 1941 zerstört und später als Fabrik und Wohnhaus benützt, bis sie 1993 wieder in den Besitz der jüdischen Gemeinde kam.

Der neue Friedhof von Cherson liegt im Westen der Stadt in der offenen Landschaft nahe von Komyschany zwischen der Wyroschyna und dem Flughafen.

Das Quartier Korabel, das den gleichen Namen trägt wie der größere Stadtrajon, liegt auf der Landfläche zwischen der Koschowa und dem Dnepr und war bis 1952 nur mit einer Schwimmbrücke aus Holz mit dem übrigen Stadtgebiet verbunden. 1952 ersetzte eine neue Stahlbetonbrücke über den Koschowa den alten Übergang in das bedeutende Industrie- und Hafengebiet, das auch über eine Eisenbahnbrücke erreichbar ist. Die wichtigsten unter den zahlreichen Industriebetrieben sind die 1951 gegründete Werft Cherson, die Tanker, Eisbrecher, Containerschiffe und andere Wasserfahrzeuge baute, die 1936 gegründete Firma Pallada, einst eine führende Herstellerin großer Trockendocks, die Maschinenfabrik Protorus, die Batteriefabrik Sada, die Baufirma Tawriya, das staatliche Biotechunternehmen Cherson und der Erölterminal. Viele Betriebe verfügen über eigene, dezentrale Hafenanlagen an Dnepr oder Koschowa.

Im Stadtrajon befinden sich viele öffentliche Einrichtungen wie die Staatliche Agrar- und Wirtschaftshochschule Cherson (Херсонський державний аграрно-економічний університет) mit einem angeschlossenen Arboretum, die Staatliche Sporthochschule, die Seefahrerschule Cherson, ein großes Sportstadion, zwei Krankenhäuser und 6 andere medizinische Kliniken. An der Wassilia-Stusa-Strasse befindet sich das Totalitarismusmuseum Cherson mit einer Ausstellung, die an die Stadtgeschichte während der Sowjetzeit erinnert.

Im Norden des Rajon liegt der öffentliche Schumenskypark. Am westlichen Stadtrand entstand schon früh der ausgedehnte, seinerzeit berühmte Kasennypark, der als erster öffentliche Parkanlage von Cherson im Jahr 1783 auf Anweisung von Fürst Grigori Alexandrowitsch Potjomkin, dem Stadtgründer, weit außerhalb der Stadt am Ufer der Wyroschyna angelegt wurde. 1787 besuchte die Zarin Katharina II. die neue Grünanlage und unterstützte Potjomkin persönlich bei der Anpflanzung weiterer Bäume. Das große Parkgelände am Westrand der Stadt wurde im 20. Jahrhundert zum großen Teil mit Gewerbequartieren überbaut; erhalten ist nur noch ein kleiner Bereich, der heutige Dyuschpark.
