Author: Jules Verne
Collection: "Peaks" Collection
Translator from French: Konstantin Konstantinov
Ex Tax: €8.52
Captain Nemo—also known as Prince Dakkar—is a fictional character created by the French science fiction author Jules Verne (1828–1905). Nemo appears in two of Verne's novels, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870) and The Mysterious Island(1874), and makes a cameo appearance in Verne's play Journey Through the Impossible (1882).
Nemo is a mysterious figure. The son of an Indian Raja, he is a scientific genius who roams the depths of the sea in his submarine, the Nautilus, which was built in pieces all over the world and shipped to the builder. Nemo tries to project a stern, controlled confidence, but he is driven by a thirst for vengeance and a hatred of imperialism focused on the British Empire. He is also wracked by remorse over the deaths of his crew members and even by the deaths of enemy sailors.
Nemo has appeared in various adaptations of Verne's novels, including films, where he has been portrayed by a number of different actors. He has also been adopted by other authors for inclusion in their novels, most notably in Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Philip José Farmer's The Other Log of Phileas Fogg.
Jules Gabriel Verne (1828–1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. Verne was born in the seaport of Nantes, where he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the... Read more

OceanFirst Bank turns to NCR for omnichannel banking
Adds advanced software and ATM technology to existing digital banking services with Digital Insight
DULUTH, Ga., January 14, 2014 – OceanFirst Bank, a $2.3 billion community bank serving central New Jersey, has chosen ATM software and hardware solutions from NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) in order to deliver an omnichannel banking experience. OceanFirst Bank's online and mobile banking experience is provided by Digital Insight, the leading provider of digital banking services, which NCR acquired in January 2014.
"NCR clearly has a vision for the future of omnichannel experiences in banking," said Joseph R. Iantosca, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, OceanFirst Bank. "As we examined options for refreshing our ATM network, NCR stood out as an industry leader for deposit technology. Partnering with NCR provides OceanFirst Bank an exceptional resource to deliver extraordinary services to our customers while supporting our strategy to grow core deposits by utilizing more cost-effective channels than the traditional branch options. Also, having RMC ATM Solutions, an NCR provider, involved gives us the additional advantage of an in-market partner for the relationship. Finally, when we heard about NCR's intended acquisition of Digital Insight, we saw the benefit to consolidating our channels with a single vendor that could deliver both digital banking and self-service technologies."
OceanFirst Bank will install more than 20 NCR SelfServ ATMs with scalable deposit module (SDM). SDM allows bank customers to deposit cash and checks in a mixed bunch and as a single transaction to make deposits significantly twice as fast as typical ATM deposits. In addition, the bank will install NCR marketing software, including APTRA Connections, Promote and Exchange, to help personalize the ATM customer experience and deliver targeted promotions over the network.
"When we announced our acquisition of Digital Insight, we knew that many banks would see the value in delivering a holistic omnichannel experience to their customers," said Brian Bailey, vice president of marketing and strategy, NCR Financial Services. "OceanFirst Bank sees the opportunity for banking channels to operate outside of existing silos, and NCR is uniquely positioned to deliver that type of experience."
OceanFirst Bank is working with RMC ATM Solutions, an NCR solutions provider serving banks and credit unions throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

Foreign Affairs Combating terrorism
"Radical jihadists, like so many adversaries in our history, underestimate the strength of our national character. Americans will not cower or cave. And we will not turn on each other or turn on our principles. We will defeat those who threaten us. We will keep our country safe and strong, free and tolerant. And we will always defend our friends and allies." -Hillary, December 6, 2015
Our country is facing a huge threat from terrorism. Our world has already been attacked in Paris, Brussels, Orlando, and San Bernardino. We must defeat ISIS and radical jihadism now. First, Hillary will work to take our ISIS's stronghold in Iraq and Syria by increasing the air campaign, supporting local Arab and Kurdish forces, and pursuing a diplomatic strategy at resolving Syria's civil war and solving the conflict between Sunnis and Shias in Iraq. Hillary will also work with allies to fight global terror networks. This includes supporting European intelligence services, focusing on ISIS affiliates, and working with tech companies to fight the propaganda online.
Improving our Defences
"I believe with all my heart that America is an exceptional country that we're still, in Lincoln's words, the last, best hope of earth. We are not a country that cowers behind walls. We lead with purpose, and we prevail." -Hillary, June 2, 2016
As a former member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, she understands the issues facing our military and veterans and has a long record working to deliver real results for them. Hillary wants to support first responders, law enforcement, and intelligence officers by providing them with the right tools. In addition, she also wants to invest in innovation and capabilities that will prepare us for 21st-century threats. As president, she will insure that a defense budget will be created that will put the taxpayer dollars to good use, one way being prioritizing defense reform initiatives.
"I'm going to keep America's security at the heart of my campaign" - Hillary, June 2, 2016
As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton worked to fix the problems that eight years of the Bush administration's has caused. She is responsible from imposing crippling sanctions against Iran, brokering a ceasefire in Gaza and protecting Israel, supporting President Obama's decision to bring Osama bin Laden to justice. She even personally negotiated an end to Hamas rockets in Israel in 2012 and helped them build a strong defense program. As president, Hillary will ensure that we live in a safe home. She will invest in partnerships with countries all across the globe who share our views. With Hillary's great diplomacy skills and patience, she will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, build stronger ties with Cuba, and stand up to countries such as Russia and China.
Economics Social Security
"I won't cut Social Security. ... I'll defend it, and I'll expand it." - Hillary, February 5, 2016
Our government needs to continue supporting American citizens through expanding social welfare programs. Hillary proposes, credibly, to raise money with higher taxes on top incomes, so that the overall effect would be to reduce inequality. Hillary will provide tax relief to working families from the rising costs they face. She believes that we can afford to pay for ambitious, progressive investments in good-paying jobs, debt-free college, and other measures to strengthen growth, broaden opportunity, and reduce inequality. She has also promised to pursue the goal of offering 12 weeks of federally guaranteed paid family and sick leave, with employees being paid at least two-thirds of their full salaries. Hillary will use the proceeds from ensuring the wealthiest and the largest corporations pay their fair share to pay for these investments without adding to the debt. Through these programs, Hillary will strengthen the social safety net, especially for the very poor and children, with an emphasis on family-related issues like parental leave.
"I would...present my plans to build on the Affordable Care Act and to improve it by decreasing the out-of-pocket costs by putting a cap on prescription drug costs; by looking for ways that we can put the prescription drug business and the health insurance company business on a more stable platform that doesn't take too much money out of the pockets of hard-working Americans".
In the past, Clinton has passionately worked on health care reforms. She played a leading role in the development of State Children's Health Insurance Program, which provides the much-needed state support for children whose parents cannot afford nor provide them with adequate healthcare coverage. Rather than "tear [Obamacare] up and start over again", Mrs Clinton pleaded, let's "defend and build on the Affordable Care Act and improve it". A central plank of Mrs. Clinton's platform is to defend the health law, which is seen by many Democrats as the signature achievement of Barack Obama's presidency (about Affordable Healthcare Act). Mrs. Clinton supports the creation of a government-run "public" health plan as an option for people shopping for coverage on their own, an idea also recently backed by President Obama to address limited insurer choice in some areas of the country. She says immigrants in the U.S. illegally should be allowed to buy their own coverage using HealthCare.gov or state equivalents, but without the financial assistance that other low-income applicants get. She also wants to allow 50-somethings to buy into Medicare to ease some of their coverage costs, and she wants to set new controls for prescription-drug prices. In addition, Mrs. Clinton has also said she supports additional incentives to persuade 19 states to expand Medicaid eligibility for their poorest residents.
Social Issues Immigration
"If we claim we are for family, then we have to pull together and resolve the outstanding issues around our broken immigration system. The American people support comprehensive immigration reform not just because it's the right thing to do—and it is—but because they know it strengthens families, strengthens our economy, and strengthens our country. … We can't wait any longer for a path to full and equal citizenship." - Hillary, May 5th 2015
Hillary support President Obama's decision to use his executive powers to reshape the nation's immigration policy, saying it was needed "to begin fixing our broken immigration system and focus finite resources on deporting felons rather than families." As Senator, Hillary Clinton fought to pass the DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform, helping to cultivate awareness of the issues in Congress. She introduced the Legal Immigrant Children's Health Improvement Act, which would give states the option to provide federally funded Medicaid and SCHIP benefits to low-income legal immigrant children and pregnant women. She also wrote the Access to Employment and English Acquisition Act to meet the growing demand for English language courses and other job skills. Once president, the Office of Immigrant Affairs will support affordable integration services. $15 million in new grant funding for community navigators and similar organizations, will significantly increase federal resources for adult English language education and citizenship education.
"I won't let anyone take us backward, deny our economy the benefits of harnessing a clean energy future, or force our children to endure the catastrophe that would result from unchecked climate change." - Hillary, November 29, 2015
Climate change is real. Hillary has always been an active environmental activist and realizes that our nation needs government action and intervention regarding climate change. We will set a ten year goal to make sure that we can generate enough renewable energy to power every single home across America. One of the many ways that our government can support our environment is through cap and trade, under which companies can trade carbon credits to reduce harmful emissions.
"We have to do things differently, but it should all be driven by the same commitment to try to make sure that we educate every child. That's why I was a senator and voted for [NCLB], because I thought every child should matter and shouldn't [be told], 'You're poor' or, 'You've got disabilities, so we are going to sweep you to the back; don't show up on test day because we don't want to mess up our scores'. No! Every child should have the same opportunity; we've got to get back to basics."" - Hillary, April 2015
Mrs. Clinton calls for raising the standards of public schools to ensure that every student has access to a high-quality education. She supports establishing universal prekindergarten programs and believes that public schools need the resources to teach all children. In addition, the Common Core national education guidelines will be a huge factor in raising standards and improve curricula. Hillary would also like to see mandated computer-science education and expanded teaching of "soft skills," such as self-control, cooperation and patience, which some employers say are in short supply. Hillary is also a huge supporter in boosting infrastructure spending to rebuild many of the country's school buildings.
"To LGBT men and women worldwide, let me say this: Wherever you live and whatever the circumstances of your life, whether you are connected to a network of support or feel isolated and vulnerable, please know that you are not alone," - Hillary, December 11, 2011
Five years ago, Hillary Clinton delivered a high-profile speech in Geneva positioning the United States as a leader in the fight to protect LGBT human rights overseas. International LGBT rights advocates say her speech had a meaningful impact in countries like Uganda where the lives of LGBT people have been in jeopardy.
She opposes a North Carolina law, seen by transgender people and others as discriminatory, that requires everyone to use the public restroom corresponding to the sex listed on his or her birth certificate. Mr. Trump supports this law. But while Mrs. Clinton has worked to highlight her views on gay and transgender rights, Mr. Trump barely mentions his. As secretary of state, she delivered a speech in 2011 declaring that "gay rights are human rights." Earlier this year, Mrs. Clinton backed the Obama administration's guidance that public schools allow students to use the bathroom corresponding with their gender identity. She supports legislation barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations and other areas.
Women's Rights, Abortion
"'Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely – and the right to be heard." - Hillary, September 5, 1995
Hillary Clinton has always been a supporter of women's rights. 21 years ago, on September 5, 1995, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered a groundbreaking speech on women's rights during the 4th Women's Conference in Beijing. Mrs. Clinton has run from the beginning with backing abortion-rights supporters, her support for overturning a ban on federal funding for abortion, and she has backed legislation to codify Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that established a constitutional right to abortion. Mrs. Clinton also wants to repeal the Hyde Amendment, saying bans on federal funding for abortion "make it nearly impossible for low-income women, disproportionately women of color, to exercise their full reproductive rights." As a senator, Mrs. Clinton introduced the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would have required businesses to demonstrate that pay inequities were due to performance, not gender, and would have prohibited employers from taking retaliatory actions against workers who raised concerns about gender-based wage discrimination. Therefore as president, Hillary will work to close the wage gap between men and women and fight for women's rights across the globe.
"I'm not looking to repeal the Second Amendment. I'm not looking to take people's guns away, but I am looking for more support for the reasonable efforts that need to be undertaken to keep guns out of the wrong hands." Hillary, July 28, 2016
Mrs. Clinton calls for universal background checks that would require all gun purchasers to be cleared through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. She supports changing the law that allows a gun sale to proceed if the FBI has been unable within three business days to find evidence to deny that sale. Mrs. Clinton also says the laws should be adjusted to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers, and she supports a ban on what she calls military-style weapons.

With Funding From BMW And Khosla Ventures, InstantCab Rebrands As Summon
Ryan Lawler	@ryanlawler / 5 years
San Francisco-based InstantCab has raised some new funding, which it plans to use to expand into new markets. But first, the company has rebranded its service as Summon, and is announcing a new app and lower-cost pricing scheme for rides from "personal drivers."
Summon is one of the newer on-demand transportation startups that have emerged over recent years, competing with companies like Uber, Lyft, and SideCar. Launched in the San Francisco Bay Area, its differentiating factor was a sort of hybrid approach that combined the ability to hail either a taxi or a peer-to-peer ride share driver.
The company has closed a new round of financing that was led by Khosla Ventures, with participation from BMW i Ventures. While it isn't disclosing the amount raised, existing investors like Initialized Capital, Beenos Partners, and Greg Kidd also participated in the round.
Summon is currently available in San Francisco, the East Bay, and parts of the South Bay. But with the funding it's looking to expand, with plans to launch in cities like Los Angeles, Boston, and New York over the coming months.
When it looks to launch in those cities, it'll be offering a bit of an alternative to existing services that operate there. Summon users can e-hail either a taxi or a so-called "personal driver" depending on how long they'd like to wait, how much they'd like to pay, and what sort of experience they'd like to have.
For taxi rides, Summon charges a $1 fee over the amount that a ride usually costs. But personal drivers cost up to 30 percent less, based on per-mile and per-minute rates. That price comes after the company issued a pretty significant fare reduction for personal rides a month ago.
One other way that Summon hopes to differentiate is a lack of surge pricing on its rides. While Uber recently lowered rates, regular users have noticed that there are significant increases in the cost of fares during rush hour and other peak times. Even Lyft has implemented its own version os surge pricing, which it calls Prime Time Tips, to have more driver supply on the road during peak times.
With all that in mind, the company has recently tripled the number of drivers available and hopes to continue to add more to meet passenger demand.

Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2021
The Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2021, which come into force on 6 April 2021, amend the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 by—
amending Part 1 (the overriding objective) to make it clear that dealing with a case justly includes ensuring, so far as practicable, that the parties can participate fully and that parties and witnesses can give their best evidence; and to introduce a new practice direction making provision for how the court is to give effect to the overriding objective in relation to vulnerable parties and witnesses;
amending rule 3.17(3)(a) to provide that the court may not approve costs incurred up to and including the date of any costs management hearing (rather than, as previously worded, costs incurred before that date);
amending rule 6.33 so that permission of the court is not required to serve out of the jurisdiction a claim where jurisdiction is based on a choice of court agreement (with consequential amendment in Part 12);
amending Part 32 to make it clear that the restriction on collateral use of witness statements outside the proceedings in which they are served applies equally to such use of affidavits;
amending rule 36.5 to add a new paragraph (5) making express provision for the position in respect of interest accrued after the expiry of the period for accepting a Part 36 offer;
amending Part 40 to insert an explanatory cross-reference to the change made to rule 83.19(4)(b);

amending Part 55 to correct a reference in the table of contents for the Part;
amending rule 61.9 to mirror for Admiralty claims the amendments made to rule 12.3 for default judgments more generally;
making changes to the rules in consequence of the introduction of new Part 81 – Applications and proceedings in relation to contempt of court by the Civil Procedure (Amendment No. 3) Rules 2020.
amending Part 70 to clarify that for foreign judgments not requiring registration in order to be enforceable, such a judgment is to be treated for enforcement purposes as if it were a judgment of the High Court or County Court; and to insert a new rule enabling provision to be made in a practice direction for procedure in relation to any debt respite scheme established under section 7 of the Financial Guidance and Claims Act 2018;
amending rule 71.7 to clarify its application;
amending rule 83.19(4)(b) to make it clear that the provision it makes for suspending issue of a certificate of judgment extends to all cases where there is pending an application to set aside or vary the judgment in question.

Q: Jquery - how to remove content dynamically I have a table with Rows. And i have a soccer field  div with
Child DIVs for each player!
When i Click on a Row, i have a JQuery Funktion who adds The player into My Field (with a playerID)! After That the picked player is greyed out!
But now  i want to remove the player from the Field (dynamically Based on His ID) when i am clicking again on the grey row!
How could i so do something like this without selecting by a Static selector like
$("#goalkeeper").empty();

Here is My fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/qcvcga8k/30/
Thx for alllll hints ;)
Alex
EDIT: Here is onyl the relevant Code:
Javascript: (the main releveant part is here the is my addGoalkeeperByClickEvent() Function and that I am using "#goalie" as selector, thats why this solution works at the moment, but i want to use always the player who the user clicked) dynamically... but i am talking here only about a solution to remove the player, adding a player is successfully working already...
var GoalKeeperQuantity = 0;
  var DefenderQuantity = 0;
  var MidfielderQuantity = 0;
  var ForwardQuantity = 0;
  var totalPlayersOnField = 0;

  function addGoalkeeperByClickEvent(playerName) {
    $(document).off('click', '.goalKepperRow, .goalKepperRowGrey, .greyRow').on('click', '.goalKepperRow, .goalKepperRowGrey, .greyRow', function() {

      $('#goalkeeperLine div p').first().parent().html("".concat(playerName));

            if ($(this).css("background-color")==="rgb(217, 217, 217)") {
                    $(this).attr('class', 'greyRow');
          GoalKeeperQuantity++;

          GoalKeeperQuantity--;
            totalPlayersOnField--;
          //alert(GoalKeeperQuantity);

         $("#goalie").empty()
         $("#goalie").html("

")

            }

    });
  };

// If the user clicks on the "x", remove the player and subtract the qnt of players
$("#field").on("click", "span.remove", function(e) {
  // remove player from field (means >>> empty the relevant DIV)
  var me = $(this).parent();
  me.empty();

  // add p elemnt to the empty div
  me.html("

")
  var title = '';

  // Check what kind of position the user has removed
  switch ($(this).parent().attr('position')) {
    case "goalkeeper":
      GoalKeeperQuantity--;
      alert(GoalKeeperQuantity);
      break;
    case "defender":
      DefenderQuantity--;
      alert(DefenderQuantity);
      break;
    case "midfielder":

    case "forward":

A: Your Fiddle example has a span with id of "goalkeeperLine" containing a div with an id of "goalie".

You can use these jQuery functions to hide and show the "goalie" div.

*

*$("#goalie).hide;

*$("#goalie").show;

Howerver, you may need to move the "goalkeeperLine" span tag inside the the "goalie" div so as to make that element be hidden when the div is hidden.

Q: EnumSet class, get element type at runtime I am trying to extend the https://github.com/tennaito/rsql-jpa library to support EnumSet fields.
I have everything working with regard to the actual query against the database, if I hardcode the ArgumentParser to convert EnumSet properties values to a specific query.
My issue is that given a query enumsetfield=IN=(enumvalue) the ArgumentParser gets a JavaType: class java.util.EnumSet and the string enumvalue.
How do I get the element type from the JavaType? I also have access to a org.hibernate.jpa.criteria.path.SingularAttributePath if that could possible contain the elementType.

A: You might be able to use reflection to obtain the non-public field in the EnumSet class that stores the element class. For example, for OpenJDK 8, here is the source code for EnumSet, and the field for the element class is called elementType. However, this would be implementation-specific to your class library implementation and not portable.

A: I ended up finding the information needed on the SingularAttributePath: path.attribute.member.signature which is in the form: Ljava/util/EnumSet<Lmy.project.enum;>; - this is not optimal, I had to rewrite the rsql-jpa a lot, and I ended up realizing that an IN query makes little sense with regard to comparing two collections. So the query now is enumsetfield==enumvalue

It is one less program to install and configure. Ethernet Encapsulation can be used to copy and deploy the project on other systems.
When third-party port redirecting software is used, Kepware's application cannot detect that the communications port is not real and expects that it will behave as a real one would. If the vendor does not support a function, it may cause instability in Kepware's server.
When the third-party port redirecting software handles the socket to the converter, it may cause latency that results in timing errors.
In cases where the converter has multiple serial ports, a communications error on one of those ports can result in all of the mapped serial ports becoming unresponsive.

Q: Computing surface area of a spherical patch By using surf2patch(sphere(),'triangle'), the spherical coordinates of sphere are converted into triangular patches.
Is there any way of calculating the surface area of each one of these patches?
I can iterate through each patch, and obtain the cartesian coordinates of each of the vertices that form the patch, but not sure about the math part.
Thanks

A: This means that your triangles(polygones) are already in cartesian coordinates. I will suggest you to use the basic polygone command i.e. A = polyarea(X,Y). By this way you can iterate through all of your triangles and calculate the area of it.

The League Preview: Season 5, Episode 4 - Rafi And Dirty Randy
By Jesse Carp published 24 September 13
Who would have thought that moving nights and networks would have a negative effect on the ratings? It stands to reason that the two-way trade, moving The League from FX to FXX and from Thursdays to Wednesdays, is mostly responsible for the fantasy football comedy's drop in numbers, especially since it started the fifth season off strong. Good thing Season 6 has already been ordered, the network at least knows that this kind of tinkering with the line-up can be costly and may take some time to fully recover. But a visit from "Rafi and Dirty Randy" should help. Well. If everyone makes it out of the episode alive. What ever doesn't kill you, right?
Dirty Randy's first appearance on The League was in name only, with Jason Mantzoukas' Rafi simply referring to his porn making pal in a conversation with Brian, Tall Guy and the rest before Seth Rogen took on the role for a series of rad cameos. Mantzoukas and Rogen have turned what could have been a throwaway joke into a pretty hilarious recurring character with him showing up on-screen during the third season premiere to help the gang shoot a porno in Andre's apartment. 'Dr. Andre Nodick' was such a success in "Lockout" that Randy returned to film 'The Mayan Acockalips' in "12.12.12" (S4, E11) as well as cameo in this season's premiere, "The Bachelor Draft," as a member of Rafi's dominance league.
But all of those cameos will pale in comparison with this week's appearance (I'm guessing) since Rogen's Randy is not just popping in for a scene with his buddy Rafi, the pair are headlining the episode with their own adventure! Could this lead to a Rafi spin-off? Probably not, no. I don't think a show could sustain that high level of crazy all the time but this one-off (or even annual gag) seems like a great idea. Oh, and Rogen also already has a show of his own in development at FX. It's about Bigfoot. I wouldn't mind seeing Jason Mantzoukas get his own show, however, since he's hilarious in everything in which he's cast, like Enlightened, Parks and Recreation and The Dictator.
And The League, of course. "Rafi and Dirty Randy" was written by Mantzoukas and Rogen and finds the pair on an crazy revenge trip to Los Angeles. After Rafi and Dirty Randy discovered that a friend has been killed, they take a trip to L.A. to settle a few scores and maybe make a few pornos along the way. No more shooting in Andre's loft, it's time to go mainstream. It also looks like Rogen isn't the only guest star for the special episode with the preview also showcasing the UFC's Dana White and Kevin Nealon. Oh, and it looks like Jenny and Kevin make an appearance too. The others? Find FXX to find out.

Ukraine Says That Russia Is Behind The Recent Cyberattacks On Their Government Websites
Jannat Un Nisa January 18, 2022 0
Ukraine claims to have "evidence" that Russia was behind a massive cyber-attack last week that took offline important government websites, while Microsoft cautions that the incident might be even worse than initially imagined.
Tensions between Ukraine and Russia are rising, with Kiev accusing Moscow of massing troops on Ukraine's border in preparation for an invasion. Some analysts believe the cyber-attack is a precursor to a military assault.
On Friday, the United States accused Russia of using explosives-trained saboteurs in a "false flag" operation that might be used as a pretext to attack its pro-western neighbor.
"All the evidence points to Russia being behind the cyber-attack," the Ukrainian digital transformation ministry said in a statement. "Moscow is continuing to wage a hybrid war."
Ukrainians should not be worried, according to the government, since their personal information will be secured. The attack's goal is "not only to intimidate society but also to destabilize the situation in Ukraine by halting public sector activity and crushing Ukrainians' trust in the authorities."
The Kremlin denied the charges, which stated that there was no proof that Russia was behind the attack.
"We have nothing to do with it. Russia has nothing to do with these cyber-attacks," Vladimir Putin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said. "Ukrainians are blaming everything on Russia, even their bad weather in their country," he said in English.
Late Friday, Kyiv said it had discovered preliminary evidence that Russian security services may have been behind the cyber-attack. According to SBU services, the attacks in the early hours of Friday targeted a total of 70 official websites.
On Sunday, Microsoft cautioned that the cyber-attack might be more damaging and damage more organizations than previously thought. The business said it was still looking into the virus and warned that it might shut down the government's digital infrastructure.
"The malware, which is designed to look like ransomware but lacking a ransom recovery mechanism, is intended to be destructive and designed to render targeted devices inoperable rather than to obtain a ransom," Microsoft said in a blogpost.
"Our investigation teams have identified the malware on dozens of impacted systems, and that number could grow as our investigation continues," Microsoft said.
"These systems span multiple government, non-profit, and information technology organizations, all based in Ukraine. We do not know the current stage of this attacker's operational cycle or how many other victim organizations may exist in Ukraine or other geographic locations."

Q: How can I make the workspace switcher in Unity 2D show more than one row of workspaces? I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. Everything works well except the workspaces refuse to form more than one row and I'm use to working with a 2x2 grid.
The dimensionality of the workspace settings is reflected in the "desktop expo" behaviour obtained from the button in the unity dock, but is not in the Ctrl-Alt- switching. See screenshot:

Neither the compiz settings (general options) nor indicator-workspaces seem to be able to properly fix this. From reading around, most other people are not having this issue.
Has anyone got some ideas on what has gone wrong and how to fix it?
(n.b. that I'm using Unity 2D)

A: There is a workaround:
First of all, install the following package:
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

*

*Then, launch a terminal and run the command gnome-panel.

*Look for the old style workspace icons. By default, it's located at lower right corner.

*Right click on it and choose Preferences.

*Set the number of rows, in your case, to 2.

*Your should get the new workspace changes. Close the window.

ABSOLUTE: 2 years of specialisation at the highest level
Two years ago, SPORT 2000 International launched the specialised retail format ABSOLUTE. The market has shown that hyper-specialisation leaves room for growth. SPORT 2000's international concept allows retailers to dramatically increase their visibility and guarantees closer cooperation at eye-level with network and suppliers alike. This enables independent sports retailers to focus still more intensively on their core competence: providing personalised expert advice for their customers. Since the concept was launched in 2019, SPORT 2000 has signed up 5 ABSOLUTE TEAMSPORT and 5 ABSOLUTE RUN retailers who value full specialisation. Expansion into other themed areas such as fitness and the outdoors is planned for the future. Three ABSOLUTE RUN retailers – Silvio Suderow, Oliver Mienert and Nasir Rafiq – talk about their decision to implement the concept and provide insights into ABSOLUTE's success story.
Specialisation is the future of retail
Customers and industry partners expect sports retailers to provide the best quality, expertise and advice. Launched two years ago, the ABSOLUTE international retail format is laying a solid foundation for the future of SPORT 2000. However, specialisation alone is not enough to make a retailer successful, as Jörg Seifert, head of Division Running at SPORT 2000 knows. He emphasises that the whole package has to be right: "The success of specialisation rests entirely on the business owner's knowledge. The owner can only be successful in a leading position if they live the sport and know their location, competitors and consumers inside out. Our ABSOLUTE retailers stand out from the rest because of their authenticity and exceptional expertise in their field."
Growth with ABSOLUTE
Silvio Suderow also believes in this approach. He had already been operating a successful running store in Bonn for some years and was well ahead of the competition in the city at the time he became the first retailer to join ABSOLUTE RUN in 2019. The keen entrepreneur and runner saw the change as a great opportunity for development: "Sales at the running store in Bonn had reached the limit of their growth, so we had to make decisions about active changes so that we could keep on growing. In this situation, it's a good idea to ask someone from outside to help you analyse the areas that have potential. Our close cooperation with SPORT 2000 soon convinced us that ABSOLUTE RUN is the right way to go," explains Suderow, who has twice taken part in the famous Ironman event in Hawaii and is delighted by the results achieved so far: "The higher level of commitment on both sides enables us to achieve more. But I am still 100% independent, which is an enormous advantage for a retailer. Our sales have more than doubled since we opened." For Suderow, this also confirms that he has made the right decisions as a CEO. His results-oriented management, focus on clear targets and dedicated team have enabled him to improve the quality of his store still further.
Support at all levels
SPORT 2000 gives ABSOLUTE retailers the best possible support. This includes attractive store design concepts, community management recommendations and supply chain organisation. The retailers can then focus fully on their core competences – providing personalised consulting and sales services – while staying close to their customers. "As a business manager, I can't be the best in every area. It's a good feeling to have experts at your side to support you," stresses Suderow. There is also great solidarity within the ABSOLUTE community – a marvellous experience for Oliver Mienert, the newest member of the ABSOLUTE RUN family. He opened his new store in Augsburg at the beginning of March 2021 – right in the middle of the coronavirus crisis. "Apart from the incredible support provided by SPORT 2000 – without which I would never have been able to open the store – I really appreciate the communication with other ABSOLUTE RUN retailers. This is an immense support, particularly in difficult times like these," emphasises Mienert, a running specialist with more than 25 years of experience in the industry, who adds: "We see ourselves as a community and not as competitors; after all, strategically speaking we're all in the same boat. In my view, this is another element of ABSOLUTE's success concept." Despite the restrictions on shopping, Oliver Mienert declared himself very satisfied with the amount of footfall during the months since the store opened. A charity run which he organised attracted 204 motivated participants and raised 1,020 Euro for a cancer initiative. For Mienert, this was a ray of hope and a positive sign for the future.
Success beyond Europe
However, ABSOLUTE RUN is popular beyond European borders as well as in Germany. Nasir Rafiq, general manager of Falaknaz Sports Group L. L. C., opened his ABSOLUTE RUN store in the United Arab Emirates' world-famous Dubai Mall in 2020 and hasn't regretted the decision for an instant: "Opening the store was without a doubt the right thing to do. We saw that there was a market gap in Dubai and with it the potential for a running store. As the region's very first specialist running store, we have quickly established ourselves as the first port of call for passionate runners. The store is doing remarkably well despite the current pandemic." As in all ABSOLUTE RUN stores, customers will not only find top brands such as Asics, Brooks, New Balance and On, but also a dynamic foot analysis service. According to Rafiq, this is a level of specialisation that makes ABSOLUTE stand out: "The shopping experience has become much more important for customers than the mere availability of products. People now expect more engagement and personalised solutions. That's exactly what we ABSOLUTE retailers deliver," says Nasir Rafiq, summarising what ABSOLUTE retailers worldwide have in common.

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome (TMJD) is a common condition affecting a wide variety of people. TMJD is characterized by severe headaches, jaw pain of varying degrees, limited opening, grinding teeth, and an intermittent ringing in the ears. The vast majority of TMJD sufferers are unaware that the root cause of these problems is something that a dentist can effectively treat.
The symptoms of TMJD are sometimes debilitating and can greatly interfere with everyday life. The comfort and general well being of the patient are at the heart of the dental practice, so pain relief is the first consideration of the dentist. The dentist is often able to test, diagnose, and devise an immediate plan to treat the underlying causes of the TMJD disorder.
TMJD sufferers report that their symptoms generally worsen during periods of prolonged or unexpected stress and that intense outbreaks of the condition can lead to neck pain and dizziness.
A common cause of TMJD is the misalignment of the teeth, often called "bad bite." It is possible for the dentist to realign or adjust the teeth without the need for painful or expensive surgeries. The realignment/adjustment will alleviate the headaches, jaw pain, and the dizziness.
The grinding teeth symptom is particularly common and usually occurs at night. The grinding will eventually erode the structure of the teeth and lead to much more severe dental problems in the future. Untreated TMJD is a significant underlying factor in worn and loose teeth.
It is important for anyone experiencing the symptoms of TMJD to visit their dentist for a diagnosis, and discussion of treatment options.
What does treating TMJD involve?
TMJD could be a result of several different problems. A bad bite is the most common, but an injury resulting from a blow to the meniscus cartilage is also a possibility. Osteoarthritis may also be a factor in older individuals. Initially, the dentist will thoroughly examine the jaw area, the patient's bite, take X-rays, and review the patient's history in order to make a diagnosis and recommend necessary treatment. More advanced imaging such as an MRI or CT scan may be necessary as well.
Once a reliable diagnosis is attained, there are several ways in which relief can be provided. A specially molded bite guard can be created to reduce muscle activity and to protect the teeth during grinding at night. A bite relationship analysis may also be recommended. The dentist can also provide advice on relaxation techniques which will lessen the effects of stress. As a last alternative, the dentist is also able to prescribe muscle relaxants on a short-term basis.
A better option is to change the shape of the teeth and get rid of the bad bite completely, often called "occlusal equilibration." This is especially useful because it alleviates TMJD symptoms and may improve the aesthetic appearance of the teeth as well. Occlusal equilibration involves adjusting the relationship between how the upper teeth come together with the lower teeth. This may require new restorations and/or adjusting the natural teeth as well. It is not a painful or time consuming procedure. As with any procedure, the dentist will be happy to answer questions and discuss symptoms, options, and treatments.
Bruxism refers to an oral parafunctional activity that occurs in most people at some point in their lives. Grinding of the teeth and clenching of the jaw are the two main characteristics of this condition, which can occur during the day or at night.
Bruxism is one of the most commonly known sleep disorders and causes most of its damage during sleeping hours. The clenching and grinding which accompanies bruxism are symptomatic of an over-active chewing reflex, which is turned off in non-sufferers when sleeping. For sufferers, deep sleep or even naps cause the reflex nerve control center in the brain to turn off and the reflex pathways to become active.
Typically, the teeth of opposing arches grind against each other laterally. This side to side action puts undue strain on the medial pterygoid muscles and the temporomandibular joints. Earache, depression, headaches, eating disorders, and anxiety are among the most common symptoms of bruxism; these symptoms also accompany health issues such as chronic stress, Alzheimer's disease, and alcohol abuse.
Bruxism is frequently misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all because it is only one of several potential causes of tooth wear. Only a trained professional can tell the difference between bruxing wear and wear caused by overly aggressive brushing, acidic soft drinks, abrasive foods, and eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa.
Nightguards – An acrylic mouthguard can be designed from tooth impressions to minimize the abrasive action of tooth surfaces during normal sleep. Mouthguards should be worn on a long-term basis to help to stabilize the occlusion as well as prevent damage to teeth and to the temporomandibular joint.

A doily is according to webster a usually round cloth or paper that has a decorative pattern made of many small holes. Other places said it was usually made in paper, linen or lace and used as a small napkin or decorative mat, but I have seen it used for larger table cloths too in the lacy style of crochet.
The word doily seems to come from an 18th century London draper.
So I might not have made a doily in the original sense of the word, but I have used doily patterns and crochet in a thicker yarn and I do own a few doilies most purchased at flea markets.
When I think of doilies they are lacy, round, white and crocheted, like this example, but in my head bigger than a napkin which seems to be the original use of a doily, I think now doilies are used more as table clots.
A doily I crocheted in a bit thicker yarn which I gave to my mother for Valentines with two heart coasters.
My mother makes amazing doilies and table cloths using thin crochet thread and mostly a pineapple pattern. They are thin and lazy and in all the colours she can find in thin thread, and she usually finishes them quite fast too. I wish I had a round table so she could make me a few!
Here is a doily pattern I want to make, this one is stiffened to make it into a bowl but I would rather have a doily I think, or perhaps both.
I framed the doily I knit in an embroidery hoop and hung it up on the wall. It's orange and matches my bedroom decor. I also bought some doilies from a thrift store because I was hoping to use them in a crafty way, but so far haven't found a use I like.
Framing things in hoops always look great, I should do that more.

North by Northwest Themes
All the world's a stage.
When Thornhill's abducted, he's about to send a telegram to his mother to remind her about their plans to go to the theater. This detail seems insignificant but turns out to provide an unexpected clue to the meaning of North by Northwest. How so? Well, even though Thornhill doesn't attend the performance he planned to attend, he does give a series of performances, each with higher stakes than the last. Sometimes he doesn't mean to be performing, but at other times (like when he lies to Eve Kendall about his identity when they first meet), he knows he's acting. The turning point in his journey comes when he knowingly agrees to act a part, accepting the Professor's request that he play the non-existent spy, George Kaplan.
Thornhill's no stranger to constructed reality—he's an ad man, after all.
Questions About Appearances
What's the significance of Thornhill's plan to go to the theater with his mother?
Why does Vandamm keep praising Thornhill for his "play-acting"?
Who else plays parts in North by Northwest, besides Thornhill?
Does the film suggest that performing is good, bad, or neither?
By emphasizing the role of "play-acting" in espionage, North by Northwest blurs the boundaries between art and life, film and politics.
North by Northwest suggests that appearances are deceiving, but also that there may be no reality apart from appearances. In other words, Hitchcock suggests that everything is appearance.
As a love story, North by Northwest is full of surprises.
In a movie where everything, including dialogue, is so thoroughly amped-up, why should love be any exception? The love story heats up pretty quickly and manages to overcome some serious obstacles like mistaken identities and betrayal. Just when we think all is lost, Hitch's plot twists make a happy ending possible, and our lovers become Mr. and Mrs. That amazing last edit from Roger pulling Eve up off the cliff to pulling her into the bed on the train—well, we're just a puddle of Jell-O here.
Hitchcock wanted to make some steamy romantic scenes but had to deal with the Hays production code that set lots of limits on what could be shown onscreen. There's a lot of kissing and sighing and extremely suggestive talk, but until Roger and Eve are married, no shots of them in bed. Hitch got the last laugh though, in the famous scene loaded with Freudian overtones, of the train entering the tunnel just as Roger pulls Eve into bed.
Questions About Love
What's the significance of the "proposition" in North by Northwest?
What do you make of the fact that Thornhill has been married twice before when the film begins, but Eve is "twenty-six and unmarried"?
Explain how the "phallic symbol" in the film's final shot works. Did you get it the first time you watched it?
Love in North by Northwest is compatible with adventure. True love, Hitchcock suggests, isn't about settling down; it's a high-speed, risky venture.
North by Northwest's relatively frank depiction of sex masks more old-fashioned attitudes about gender, made clear in the film's characterization of Eve, who ultimately has to be married off.
Visions of the United States
For a film about international espionage that's credited for giving rise to the James Bond film franchise, North by Northwest is totally domestic. We mean that its settings are all within the continental U.S.; there's not a single scene set abroad. Hitchcock shows surprisingly little interest in the nature of the intrigue Vandamm and his men are involved with. We never find out what country they're working for or where they plan to head on that plane that they almost board with Eve.
What we do know, though, is that the film's very much about the nation whose cities, fruited plains, and purple mountain majesty Hitchcock showcases in scene after scene. In the trailer, Hitchcock promotes the film as if he's a travel agent helping people plan a cross-country vacation, but with "a tasteful little murder" thrown in for free. The film's settings are the backdrop for its Cold War plot, which is about the struggle of the U.S. and its allies against unnamed global threats.
Questions About Visions of the United States
Why doesn't North by Northwest include any scenes set in other countries?
What's the effect of the national grand tour that North by Northwest leads viewers on?
How would you characterize Hitchcock's politics, taking North by Northwest as your case?
By showcasing cities and national landmarks, North by Northwest glorifies the United States.
North by Northwest offers a thoroughly one-sided take on the Cold War conflict between capitalist countries and their communist foes.
It may seem strange to associate North by Northwest with the theme of family, since the film spends so little time showing families of any kind. But one family relationship is key to understanding Thornhill's development as a character, his transformation from self-absorbed, hunky ad man to devoted husband and national hero. We mean, of course, his relation to his mother, which the first few scenes in Hitch's film go way out of their way to emphasize. If you re-watch these scenes with the theme of motherhood (and son-hood) in mind, you may even come to think that the film beats viewers over the head with the very mid-century idea that much of what's wrong with Thornhill is his overbearing, unsupportive mother's fault.
Questions About Family
We've called Mrs. Thornhill "overbearing." What other adjectives can you think of to characterize her as she's portrayed in North by Northwest's early scenes?
Why do you think Mrs. Thornhill disappears from the film, never to be seen again, when her son leaves New York?
Does Hitchcock's handling of the mother-son relationship seem dated to you? Do you think representations of mother-son bonds have evolved since 1959? If so, how?
North by Northwest offers a classically Oedipal take on the mother-son relationship, suggesting that Thornhill has to outgrow his attachment to his mother before he can achieve full adulthood.
Like Hitchcock's later film Psycho, North by Northwest pathologizes a mother figure, blaming her for problems that are really her son's.

Wendy Williams' husband Kevin Hunter will no longer serve as an executive producer on "The Wendy Williams Show." (Charles Sykes/AP)
It's splitsville both at home and in their professional lives.
Wendy Williams' estranged husband Kevin Hunter is no longer with her daytime syndicated talk-show, officially cutting ties exactly a week after she filed for divorce in Essex County, N.J.
"Kevin Hunter is no longer an executive producer on 'The Wendy Williams Show,'" a spokesperson for the show told the Daily News. Syndication company "Debmar-Mercury wishes him well in his future endeavors."
Williams was reportedly suffering from distress from him being on the set, TMZ reports. Rumors of infidelity on Hunter's part had swirled before news broke of the breakup.
Williams, who's 54 and has been open with her addiction issues, returned to her hosting duties in early March after taking an extended break from her show. On March 18, she revealed on the program that she's been living in a sober house.

Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, deep purple, to rusty red. The iron itself is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (Fe2O3), goethite (FeO(OH)), limonite (FeO(OH). or siderite (FeCO3).
Iron ore beneficiation is the process where iron ore is processed with a view to reducing contaminants and thereby increasing the iron content of the raw iron ore. This is described as increasing the Fe value.
One of the approaches to iron ore beneficiation first involves a basic screening of the ore and then crushing it using equipment like a jaw crusher to break up the rock from its natural state down to inpidual block or rock sizes with dimensions of length or height no greater than 3.3 feet (1 meter). This rock is then further pulverized in medium and fine level cone crushers or fine jaw crushers, and screened down to particle sizes of 0.5 inches (12 millimeters) or less, and is then passed on to a magnetic separator or the flotation process for separation. Separation involves using low-grade magnetic fields to pull the ore with high-metal content away from lower-grade metal particles. The lower-grade ore at this point is cycled back into the rough separating stage for further refining.
The end product that emerges from crushing and magnetic separation equipment is then ground into a powder-like consistency in a ball mill. This material is then further refined through iron ore beneficiation by using a dehydration tank to remove water content and by applying magnetic fields generated by a magnetic separator. At this stage, low-grade ore that still contains metal value is placed back at the start of the cycle, and tailings, which are even lower-grade residues, are removed as waste.
The necessary equipments in iron ore processing plant are jaw crusher, cone crusher, ball mill,, flotation machine, magnetic separators, vibrating screen, etc.
The choice of the beneficiation treatment depends on the nature of the gangue present and its association with the ore structure. Several techniques such as washing, jigging, magnetic separation, advanced gravity separation and flotation are being used to enhance the quality of the Iron ore.
Kefid is a leading mining equipment manufacturer, supplies crushing, screening, grinding plant for iron ore and other kinds of ore beneficiation plant.

Nancy Pelosi says Trump is 'morbidly obese' and should not take hydroxychloroquine
William Cummings / USA TODAY
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it was "not a good idea" for President Donald Trump to be taking a drug that has not been proven to work against the coronavirus because it can pose a risk for people with heart conditions and he is "morbidly obese."
Trump told reporters Monday that he has been taking hydroxychloroquine for about a week and a half to stave off infection from the coronavirus. The news stunned many health experts because the drug - normally prescribed for lupus, arthritis and as a prophylactic measure to prevent malaria – has not been thoroughly tested for use against the coronavirus, which has killed more than 90,000 Americans.
Despite the lack of clinical testing, Trump touted the drug for use against the virus for more than a month, saying he had a "feeling" it was effective and telling Americans, "What do you have to lose? Take it."
But on April 24, the Food and Drug Administration said the drug has "not been shown to be safe and effective for treating or preventing COVID-19" and that it should not be used "outside of the hospital setting or a clinical trial due to risk of heart rhythm problems."
During an interview with CNN, Pelosi was asked her reaction to the news the president was taking the medication despite the FDA warning.
Nancy Pelosi just referred to Trump as "morbidly obese" on CNNpic.twitter.com/wOY4NgY8Zm
— Phil (@prettygoodphil)May 19, 2020
"He's our president and I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and his, shall we say, weight group: morbidly obese, they say. So, I think it's not a good idea," she replied.
Though Trump is obese, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention standard, Pelosi is incorrect in labeling him "morbidly obese."
After last year's physical, the 6-foot-3-inch Trump weighed in at 243 pounds. According to the CDC, that gives him a body mass index of 30.4, which is just over the threshold for what the public health organization labels "obese."
The CDC defines three levels of obesity. The highest level, Class 3, is sometimes called "morbid" or "severe" obesity," but that requires a BMI of 40 or greater.
The FDA warning regarding hydroxychloroquine does not say obese people are at greater risk from the drug's potentially fatal side effects. It says patients with "health issues such as heart and kidney disease are likely to be at increased risk of these heart problems."
Trump, 73, does not suffer from any existing heart condition, according to the results of his physical, though he does have a history of high cholesterol, for which he takes medication.

Ideal opportunity for singles, couples and small groups to experience the beautiful Lake Kariba easily and cost effectively!
Lake Kariba although not as easy to access as Victoria Falls or Chobe National Park, is one of Zimbabwe's prime destinations and well worth the effort in getting there. The world's largest man-made lake, at one time, is home to phenomenal wildlife and the scenery on and around the lake is breath-taking. Its wildlife and safari opportunities cannot be overstated and now you can embark on a luxury cruise safari on one of Zambezi Cruise Safari's vessels. Either traverse the lake completely from Kariba to Binga or enjoy two and three night circular cruises (see itineraries below).
The fundamental difference between these cruises and other Kariba houseboat safaris are the set departure dates that individuals, couples or small groups can join without having to hire the entire houseboat, much like an ocean going cruise liner. Although private hire for larger groups can also be arranged.
The Zambezi Cruise Safaris' three floating hotels are of different sizes to cater for varying groups and cruises (see below). They are fully air-conditioned with mostly en-suite bathrooms, covered lounge, dining area, bar and fully equipped kitchen. The facilities and rooms are beautifully designed to make you feel at home and although they're not "Luxury Cruise Ships" in a first world sense (possible 3-4 star) they are without doubt the best Lake Kariba has to offer.
Lake Kariba is all about relaxing in the sun whilst cruising the lake and taking in the remarkable scenery, sundecks and jacuzzi pools make these boats ideal. Morning and afternoon activities included in the Zambezi Cruise Safaris are fishing, game viewing and bird watching on the accompanying tender boats. For those wanting a walking safari, this can also be arranged on demand.
The flagship of the Zambezi Cruise Safaris fleet, The Umbozha Houseboat is one of larger vessels on Lake Kariba, with cabin-space for 28 people in five family cabins, two twin bedded cabins and two master suites with queen-size beds – all air conditioned, en-suite and have views of the lake. To accommodate additional guests, the main lounge has two full sized Indian day beds, a full sized Indian daybed on the pool deck, two double outdoor day beds on the back deck.

The smallest of the Zambezi Cruise Safaris fleet, The Karabezi has a capacity of 14 people - offering a more intimate Lake Kariba safari than the other two houseboats (Umbozha and Shikra). This is perfect for a large group wanting an exclusive itinerary, or for those who just want a less crowded accommodation option in Kariba. The houseboat is beautifully fitted with teak and furnished tastefully in a rustic style.
The Karabezi has seven air-conditioned cabins, six of which are en-suite while one has a separate bathroom - all bathrooms have a shower, toilet and hand basin. For additional capacity, the houseboat has six fold-out single beds and a separate toilet and shower facility in the reception area of the vessel.

The biggest of the Zambezi Cruise Safaris boats, The Shikra offers plenty of open space for relaxing and entertainment and a rather large shaded plunge pool on the second deck. The lounge & dining area also on the middle deck are tastefully furnished with a beautiful teak & granite bar.
• Crew: 5 - comprising Captain, chef and deckhands. A host can be provided at an additional fee.
