Felly History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Felly is a name of Anglo-Saxon origin. It was a name given to a friend or comrade. The surname Felly originally derived from the Old English word Feolaza which affectionately meant "partner" or "shareholder." As a surname, it was likely taken on by a member of a trade guild.
"Besides its more proper meaning of ' companion,' the word Fellow is used in some dialects to signify a young unmarried man, or a servant engaged in husbandry. Chaucer uses the phrase 'a proper felawe' to denote a well-formed young man." [1]
Early Origins of the Felly family
The surname Felly was first found in Huntingdon. However another branch of the family was later found at Shotesham in Norfolk. "Shotesham Park, the seat of Robert Fellowes, Esq., is a handsome mansion, erected by the late Mr. Fellowes, near the site of the ancient Hall, which was surrounded with a moat. " [2]
Walter Felagh was one of the first records of the family. He was listed in the Assize Rolls of Northumberland in 1256. Robert le Felagh was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex in 1327. [3] John Felagh was listed in Somerset, 1 Edward III (during the first year's reign of Edward III.) [4]

Felly Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Felly were recorded, including Fellow, Fellows, Fellowes, Felloe and others.

Felly migration to the United States
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Felly family emigrate to North America:

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employer-paid benefits in private industries in 2017 was 30.5% of the average worker's total salary. Here's how you can give your employees a comprehensive, easy-to-read look at the benefits you provide and help them understand what you invest in them beyond their wage alone.
Every company will have different benefits they offer their employees, and it's up to you to decide what you want to include in a total compensation statement. But the more comprehensive, the better.
It's important to include a wide spectrum of the benefits you offer so your employees can see the ones that matter most to them. Plus, different generations value different benefits. For example, according to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), millennials are less likely than baby boomers to report health insurance as the most important benefit, and are more likely to value paid time off. Including as many different benefits as possible helps ensure your document will resonate with all employee groups.
No matter how you choose to prioritize your total compensation statement, here are the minimum types of benefits you should include.
To start, you need to include your employees' earnings on this statement. It likely will be the biggest piece of the pie and is a significant part of total compensation.
Bonuses can be added in this section, but consider placing them in a completely separate section to highlight how a bonus is separate from employees' regular compensation. This information should be readily available from your payroll software.
While you could simply list the paid time off your company offers on the statement, it is impactful to assign a dollar amount to that time. Employees generally know how much time off they are allowed or accrue each year. Seeing that you provide 15 vacation days and five sick days is not new information to them (or shouldn't be, anyway). But seeing how much that time costs your organization can give them a new perspective.
Alternatively, you could include employees' current available PTO balance. Showing employees how much PTO they would lose if they pursued another opportunity might persuade them to stay.
If you award PTO, you still can include the days employees have available to use on the total compensation statement, but if you do that, you should not include a dollar amount with it. You may need to make a distinction between PTO that's been used and time off that's been awarded, but unused. Some companies opt to include PTO that's already been used as part of the year-to-date earnings.
Highlight employer-paid portions of benefits like insurance plan premiums and 401(k) matching.
401(k)/retirement matching: Only include the employer contribution – if you don't make a contribution, leave this section out. Seeing that they've set aside part of their own salary isn't truly a benefit, but seeing your contribution to their retirement and the dollar amount is another story – and an impactful one. This information may be available through your payroll software, or you may need to gather it from your 401(k) provider. Depending on your vesting schedule, you might also choose to reflect the vested and invested match dollars.
Insurance coverage: Include everything your company pays a portion for, including health, dental, vision, life and short- and long-term disability. Employees don't always understand that even though they pay a premium for their insurance, their employer likely is paying the lion's share; not only for them personally, but often toward the cost of dependent coverage as well. Through this statement, you can show them how much you invest in their health and their family's health. Seeing these line items also can help employees understand what their benefits are, which may help them make decisions during open enrollment.
Gather the information and present it in an understandable format. You want to have a statement that includes all of their benefits and shows their total compensation with a "price tag." Your end goal is to present a dollar amount that's more than what the employee recognizes as his or her salary. The difference between the two figures could be thousands of dollars.
The right software will help you gather this information efficiently, although if you have different systems for each type of benefit (like one system for payroll and another for HR or benefits administration), it will take additional time to collect it manually.
You may want to create a template in Word or Excel that allows you to compile this information in an easy-to-read format. A graph helps visually illustrate that an employee's salary is only a piece of their total compensation. Unless your information is stored all in one software, you'll need to gather it and plug it in for each employee, because every employee's benefits will be different.
Keep in mind this manual approach is not scalable. Once your head count grows, it will be incredibly difficult to keep up with updating this information for every employee. And, there's the added danger of not including all the correct information, or giving the information to the wrong employees.
With a software solution that keeps all of this information in one place, it's as simple as dragging and dropping what you want to include on employee statements. Every employee's statement is created for you. With the right employee self-service technology, that information can be readily available to your employees whenever they'd like to see it, which may come in especially handy if they're considering another job offer … but only if they know how to access their information.
When the statement is ready, you need to find a way to get your employees to read it. Consider having an executive such as the CEO or VP of HR send an email at the beginning of the new year (or another time that's important to your business), thanking your workforce for their continuing efforts. This email should include instructions on how to access their total compensation statement and why it's important.
You also may consider reminding your employees about their benefits statement around performance reviews or after a new benefit has been added. For example, if you're announcing additional vacation days or paid gym memberships, take the opportunity to remind employees of the other benefits you provide. Some organizations choose to send them around the same time as W-2's, when employees are already expecting to review their annual tax documents.
Benefits that don't have a dollar amount attached, like flex time or the ability to work from home, can be mentioned in the email. While you might not list these benefits within the statements, it can be a good time to remind your employees of their access to these benefits.
Be conscious of the timing of your email or announcement of these statements. You don't want to make employees feel like your document is misleading or you've sent it to them to explain why no one is getting a bonus or raise this year. Take great care not to have inaccuracies or include something on the statement more than once. Without software to assist you with this, you'll need to be extra-diligent to not count a benefit twice or including a benefit that's not actually a benefit, like expense reimbursements.
You may consider setting up a survey in which employees can share input on what they'd like to see included in such a statement. A survey also gives you the opportunity to ask employees which benefits they would like to see in the future.
Total compensation statements can be a powerful retention tool. According to a 2015 study by SHRM, 22% of workers report they have accepted, quit or changed jobs because of the benefits – other than salary or wage level – that an employer offered or failed to offer.
Helping members of your workforce understand the value of the benefits you offer may make them reconsider taking another job, especially if your benefits package is robust. Ensure the statement is accurate and that employees know where to find it, and it will be that much harder for your top talent to jump ship.

The Curious Tale of Houthi-AQAP Prisoner Exchanges in Yemen
AQAP members stand near a tank seized from government forces during fighting in the Lahj-Abyan border region in 2012.

Sana'a Center Staff
When Mohammed Ayidh al-Harazi was detained in Sana'a's high-security prison for political detainees in 2011, he had little reason to believe he would be out any time soon. As a senior figure in Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) who had gone below the radar of authorities for several years, he was seized during the protests that swept Yemen during the Arab uprisings. He had set up a tent at Change Square for a group he called Shabab al-Umma (Youth of the Nation), eventually attracting the attention of US and Yemeni intelligence agencies despite his new profile as merely one of thousands of activists campaigning for an end to the rule of Ali Abdullah Saleh. Al-Harazi appears to have been outed by opposition groups, who wanted to ensure US support for the uprising by proving they would be just as cooperative as Saleh had been on the critical issue of jihadi violence.[1]
Even though Al-Harazi was no longer an active member of al-Qaeda he remained a person of interest to the US authorities. As someone who had studied in Sa'ada in 1996 at the Dar al-Hadith Institute, a center of traditional quietist Salafism, Al-Harazi had the educational background to make him a future senior figure in AQAP. He had lost an eye in 2008 during training in bomb-making in a village in Arhab district, north of Sana'a, and was known for his closeness to the organization's then-leader Nasser al-Wuhayshi.
Sentenced to 10 years in jail, Al-Harazi was suddenly released in 2016 in a prisoner exchange between Al-Qaeda and the Houthi movement that had seized power in Sana'a in 2014 – one of dozens of Al-Qaeda figures who were let go in prisoner swaps between 2016 and 2021. Al-Harazi was killed a few months later in a US drone strike in Al-Bayda governorate, along with his son Safwan and brother Fuad who were visiting from Sana'a. But his case is illustrative of a phenomenon the full details of which are only now coming to light through more than a dozen sources, including tribal figures, mainly from the governorates of Al-Bayda, Dhamar and Sana'a, former members of Al-Qaeda in Yemen and individuals close to the group, all of whom chose to speak on condition of anonymity for this article. The main period of research was in August-September 2021, but some interviews date back as far as 2015.
Overview of Al-Qaeda detainees
Yemen has a complex history when it comes to Al-Qaeda and the status of detainees. Former Minister of Endowments and Guidance Judge Hammoud al-Hitar famously instigated a dialogue with prisoners in 2002, which led to the release of men who went on to rejoin the ranks of Al-Qaeda despite declaring a renunciation of violence. Al-Qaeda figures themselves say the process was flawed. "The dialogue inside the prison was a farce, it lacked a conducive environment to pull it off, and even its organizers lacked conviction as to its usefulness. But they had a personal interest in declaring it successful," said one of the released detainees, adding that Al-Hitar would simply ask prisoners to voice their statement of renunciation during sessions inside the jail.
Nonetheless, the former detainee argues it was to President Ali Abdullah Saleh's credit that he supported the dialogues, which did lead to some detainees returning to normal life and prevent others from falling for Al-Qaeda's doctrine of war against Muslim rulers and their Western backers. Saleh was able to win US support for both the rehabilitation of Al-Qaeda detainees and a war against them later in Abyan, Shabwa, Lahj and Marib.
But US faith in the process began to wane after 23 of Al-Qaeda's leaders, including Al-Wuhayshi, escaped the Sana'a security prison in 2006 through a tunnel dug from one of the prison rooms to the outside, according to the official narrative.[2] US authorities have consistently declined to repatriate Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo Bay, preferring to send them to the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other countries for rehabilitation for fear that in Yemen they would end up back with Al-Qaeda. Saudi detainees, by contrast, were sent to Saudi Arabia, whose rehabilitation scheme was praised by US officials.[3] It was following the 2006 jailbreak in Yemen that the Saudi and Yemeni wings of Al-Qaeda merged, first as Al-Qaeda in the South of Arabian Peninsula and then as AQAP under al-Wuhayshi's leadership in 2009. This served to intensify US doubts about how the Yemeni government was managing the jihadi file and raise questions about Saleh's leadership.
Prison raids
When Abdo Rabbu Mansour Hadi took over from Saleh as president following the uprising, he tended to defer to US officials on policy toward Al-Qaeda and seek their approval on any issue regarding detainees. Hadi was tested early on when Al-Qaeda captured 64 soldiers in the governorate of Abyan in south Yemen in March 2012, in an attack that saw some 200 people killed and around 200 wounded. Hadi rejected out of hand an offer to swap the prisoners for Al-Qaeda detainees, and later in 2012 he also rejected a proposal that would have seen AQAP withdraw from Abyan in exchange for a prisoner release, despite the high cost of military operations to liberate the governorate.[4]
Al-Qaeda developed a particular animus for Hadi as a result, viewing him as a weak leader. Speaking in June 2012 only months into Hadi's presidency, Qasim al-Raymi – who took over AQAP in 2015 after al-Wuhayshi's death in a US drone strike – said Hadi had given the Americans "more in a month than Saleh gave in ten years."[5] The United States was full of praise for Hadi, stating publicly in 2013 that he was more cooperative than his predecessor.[6]
Faced with Hadi's unwillingness to strike deals, Al-Qaeda began to resort to prison raids to liberate its detainees. In February 2014 it launched an attack on the central prison in Sana'a, freeing 29 people and releasing a video to celebrate the event.[7] Among other breakouts, they managed another in the southern coastal town of Mukalla in 2015, freeing dozens of figures including Khaled Batarfi, who succeeded Al-Raymi as leader in 2020 after Al-Raymi was also killed in a US strike.[8] But after the Houthi movement seized power such risky operations were no longer necessary since the new authorities in Sana'a were happy to revive the policy of prisoner swaps.
The Houthis rise to power
In the initial stages of their takeover in 2013 and 2014, the armed Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) had entertained the idea of attempting to neutralize international opposition to them by offering assurances about cooperation in the "war on terror".[9] But the launch in 2015 of Saudi Arabia's US-backed war in an effort to reverse the Houthi hold on power changed the group's calculations. Washington felt obliged to help Riyadh, its most important ally against jihadi groups, in dealing with what it viewed as a national security threat in the form of the Iran-linked Houthi government in Sana'a. This was despite the temptation among some US policymakers to work with the Houthis as the de facto power in north Yemen fighting AQAP, which remains in US eyes the Al-Qaeda branch presenting the most serious threat to the US mainland.[10]
As a result, the Houthi authorities developed their own independent approach to the Al-Qaeda question, one detached from any obligations related to the US "war on terror". The swelling ranks of Al-Qaeda detainees inside Houthi-controlled prisons were becoming a problem of space and money for a new government facing international isolation, embargo and war. The number of inmates doubled to over 400 following the Houthi coup against Hadi's government in Sana'a.[11] This was a financial burden that distracted from the new government's political, economic and social priorities as it sought to stabilize its authority through organizing religious events, establishing ties with Yemeni business elites, and paying civil servants and military personnel. Yet going out on a limb with a policy of releasing AQAP militants was a strategy that risked opening the Houthi authorities up to further international opprobrium.
It was during fighting with Al-Qaeda in Al-Bayda governorate in 2015 that the Houthi forces came to consider prisoner swaps a good way of securing the release of its fighters, regardless of international concerns about deals with jihadis. Further, the Houthi authorities had no objections to any of the names on Al-Qaeda's roster of people it wanted released, so the negotiations focused solely on the question of numbers, not names. Al-Qaeda in turn realized that it could get its own people back by taking Houthi prisoners.[12]
These were the circumstances in which dozens of AQAP prisoners were released in 2016, including Al-Harazi and the two sons of influential tribal Sheikh Tareq al-Fadhli (of the Al-Fadl in Abyan) in a large two-stage process. Al-Qaeda demanded a high price for Houthi prisoners who were from prestigious Hashemite families, given the importance of Hashemites in Zaidi ideology as descendants of the Prophet Mohammed. One Hashemite prisoner could get Al-Qaeda 20 or more of its prisoners back.[13] The two parties also agreed to improve prison conditions, though media outlets that got wind of the better treatment Al-Qaeda detainees were receiving in Houthi-run prisons misreported it as a Houthi attempt to enlist them to fight on its side.[14]
In 2014, shortly before the Houthi movement seized power, Al-Qaeda kidnapped a teacher who was close to the Houthi authorities called Abdelsalam al-Dawrani[15] in an apparent effort to put pressure for the release of some Al-Qaeda militants in Sa'ada governorate.[16] Houthi authorities didn't respond at the time, which was when they were expanding militarily throughout the northern governorates before taking Sana'a.
In 2015, the Houthi authorities offered a large sum of money to release Al-Dawrani, who was the maternal uncle of Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Houthi political bureau. But Al-Qaeda declined the offer, raising its demands after Houthi forces took control of prison facilities in Sana'a. Al-Qaeda suspected that the Houthis' expansion was carried out with a green light from Washington to favor Shias at the expense of Sunnis in Yemen. In other words, before making any deals with the group, Al-Qaeda wanted to establish what the Houthi movement's position was vis-à-vis the US administration.[17]
The Houthi authorities surprised Al-Qaeda in agreeing to release a number of militants, including senior figures, in exchange for Al-Dawrani's release. Chief mediator of the deal Ismail al-Jalei (secretary-general of the Mustaqbal party) went on to lead a mediation between Houthi forces and Saleh in late 2017 shortly before the president was killed in clashes between Houthi forces and his supporters,[18] and Al-Qaeda continued to fear a shift in Houthi relations with Washington.
When the Houthi military first moved into Al-Bayda they had rebuffed the idea of prisoner swaps until Al-Qaeda called them out via a series of short videos titled "the Pleas of Houthi Prisoners" in which Houthi detainees beseeched their leaders to take action to ensure their release.[19] Al-Qaeda correctly sensed that the Houthi movement would quickly make a deal to stop the videos, since they made the group look militarily weak and could impact its ability to recruit among tribes. This led to a bigger agreement by which Al-Qaeda was able to free dozens of members.
Further prisoner swaps were concluded in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021, through which Al-Qaeda managed to free dozens of figures, including Alawi Ali al-Ahmar al-Burkani, the son of Alawi al-Burkani (aka Abu Malik al-Lawdari), a well-known Al-Qaeda figure in Afghanistan during the Taliban rule.[20]
The case of Saif al-Adel and Nikbakht
In March 2015, Iran announced that special forces had succeeded in freeing Noor Ahmad Nikbakht, an Iranian diplomat kidnapped by Al-Qaeda in Yemen and held there since 2012. Sources close to Al-Qaeda say Nikbakht's release in fact was part of a three-way deal involving Al-Qaeda, Houthi authorities and Iran in which several Al-Qaeda leaders in Sana'a were freed in addition to the Egyptian Al-Qaeda leader Saif al-Adel, who Iran had been holding since 2003.[21] It is still not clear what happened to Saif al-Adel in the end. There have been various reports in recent years over Al-Adel's whereabouts – that he is in Syria, Pakistan, still in Iran, or, according to one published report citing US officials, in Yemen.[22]
Covert operations to free abductees held by Al-Qaeda in Yemen have rarely been successful. Despite some level of infiltration, Saudi Arabia was unable to locate its diplomat Abdullah al-Khalidi when he was abducted in 2012 from Aden, where he served as deputy consul – Al-Khalidi was finally released in 2015 for a large ransom.[23] Journalist Luke Somers died during a botched US special forces attempt to rescue him from captivity in Shabwa in December 2014 after he was kidnapped from a street in Sana'a the year before.[24]
Media misreporting
Pro- and anti-Houthi media outlets often misreported prisoner exchanges as arrangements between Houthi forces and the anti-Houthi axis (such as Hadi's government, allied resistance forces and tribal forces) in an apparent effort to conceal the fact that they were deals made with Al-Qaeda. In one such case relatives of Ali al-Mansouri, the Houthi-appointed governor of Al-Bayda, were freed along with the body of a Houthi leader in exchange for a number of senior Al-Qaeda figures in Sana'a, including Alawi al-Ahmar al-Burkani. Al-Qaeda had carried out an ambush at Al-Hazmiya Front in Sawma'ah district, resulting in the capture of Al-Mansouri's son and grandson, and the death of a Houthi leader named Naim Nasir al-Jawfi. Pro-government media outlets attributed the ambush to government forces rather than Al-Qaeda.[25] Al-Qaeda remains the strongest group in Sawma'ah district, but neither party had an interest in publicizing this.
While it is not clear how many Al-Qaeda detainees are currently inside Houthi-run prisons it appears that over half of them have been released in exchange deals since 2016. According to one source close to Al-Qaeda, the figure could be as high as 70 percent and talks are ongoing to free the remaining number. Since most of AQAP's more senior members have already been freed, those left are mainly lower-rank figures in the group's chain of command.
This year Hadi's government presented a report to the UN Security Council detailing claims of Houthi relations with Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group, but it contained gaps and mistakes on the issue of detainees, including omitting those captured since the Al-Bayda clashes in 2014.[26] Among those released it listed figures like Sami Dayyan, who sources close to Al-Qaeda say is still in prison and, while a Salafi in political orientation, is not a member of the jihadi group. On the other hand, Jamal al-Badawi, who previously served time in jail for his role in the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Aden, was released by the Houthi authorities at Al-Qaeda's request not because he was a member – he left in 2012 – but because of a sense of injustice he had faced.[27] He had voluntarily handed himself in to the authorities under the Saleh regime, was released and then jailed again due to US pressure but was killed in a US airstrike in 2019 after being freed in one of the Houthi-era swaps.
In less than five years, AQAP managed to liberate most of its detainees held in Houthi-run prisons by swapping them for Houthi militants caught during fighting between the two sides in Al-Bayda governorate in 2015. As a result, Al-Qaeda was able to strengthen its ranks with dozens of released prisoners, helping it overcome a crisis of membership due to an inability to attract new elements.[28]
The release of Al-Qaeda detainees has been a blow to international efforts in the fight against terrorism, poses a threat to the lives of people in the areas where Al-Qaeda and other jihadi groups are active, and presents a further obstacle to efforts to end the war and create a lasting peace settlement. The Houthi movement's international isolation has encouraged them to deal with the detainees as a purely Yemeni affair, without regard for the wider implications of their release for the security of the region and beyond.
During the protests, the Sunni Islamist Islah party led the way in calling on opposition forces to reassure the United States about continued cooperation in its war against jihadi groups in Yemen. Then-US ambassador to Yemen Gerald Feierstein praised Islah for its stance.
The prison is run by the political security apparatus (jihaz al-amn al-siyasi), an internal intelligence body.

The Houthi movement wanted responsibility for handling jihadi groups targeted by the United States as early as 2009 when the agreement it reached with Saleh's regime contained an unwritten clause giving it authority to fight jihadis in the eastern governorates of Marib and Al-Jawf, according to Hassan Zeid (assassinated in Sana'a in 2021), former secretary general of the Zaidi-based Al-Haqq party.

HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1970s → 1977 → May 1977 → 5 May 1977 → Commons Sitting → HOME DEPARTMENT
Obscene Publications Acts
HC Deb 05 May 1977 vol 931 cc629-30 629
§ 5. Mr. Tim Renton
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has plans to revise the Obscene Publications Acts.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Dr. Shirley Summerskill)
The departmental committee which the Government are to appoint should first be allowed to carry out its comprehensive review of the law on obscenity, indecency and censorship.
§ Mr. Renton
I welcome the setting up of that departmental committee. May I ask, with all suitable humility, whether it will consider the reccommendations for the amendment of the Obscene Publications Act, which I suggested in a Bill last year that had all-party support? May I also ask whether anyone who is interested will be able to give evidence to the departmental committee and, in view of the widespread concern on the subject, whether some of the evidence will be heard in public?
§ Dr. Summerskill
The answer to the hon. Gentleman's first supplementary question, is that the review will cover the Obscene Publications Act and the common law on obscenity and indecency. Evidence will be given to the committee, but it depends on the chairman, when the committee is set up, whether there will be any public sittings.
§ Mr. Marten
May I, as one who is very broadminded and not a bit prudish, ask whether the Minister is aware that magazines that are available on public bookstalls and are sent to me by constituents who have bought them are circulating among schoolchildren, and that not only the pictures but the articles in them are extremely corrupting to those of tender years? Is there anything that can be done to limit that sort of thing happening in 630 the meantime, before the committee reports?
The committee will be looking into restrictions on indecent displays and also into Customs and postal controls on indecent and obscene material. That, I think, covers everything that the hon. Gentleman has in mind.

Het huis Orléans is de naam die gebruikt werd door verschillende takken van het koningshuis van Frankrijk, die allemaal afstamden uit de rechtmatige mannelijke lijn van de stichter van de dynastie, Hugo Capet. Het werd een traditie voor het hertogdom Orléans  tijdens het ancien régime van Frankrijk om geschonken te worden als een apanage aan een jongere (meestal de tweede overlevende) zoon van de koning. Terwijl elke tak van de Orléans dus afstamde van een ondergeschikte prins, waren ze toch altijd onder de dichtste relaties in de mannelijke lijn van de koning, waarbij ze soms streefden naar de troon en hier soms zelfs in slaagden.

De laatste tak die de hertogelijke titel droeg, stamde af van Hendrik van Bourbon, hertog van Vendôme (Hendrik IV van Frankrijk), die koning werd (in naam) in 1589, en staat soms bekend als het huis Bourbon-Orléans. Van 1709 tot de Franse Revolutie waren de hertogen van Orléans de volgende in lijn om de Franse troon te bestijgen na de leden van de grootste hoofdtak van het huis Bourbon, die afstamden van Lodewijk XIV. De jongere broer en jongere zoon van Lodewijk XIII werden het hertogdom toegekend achtereenvolgens in 1626 en 1660, en omdat ze gelijktijdige levende afstammelingen hadden, waren er eigenlijk twee takken Bourbon-Orléans aan het hof tijdens de heerschappij van Lodewijk XIV.

De oudste van deze takken bestond uit Gaston van Orléans, de jongere zoon van Hendrik IV, en de vier dochters van zijn twee huwelijken. Het jongste en laatste Huis Orléans stamde af van Filips van Orléans, de jongere broer van Lodewijk XIV (die, als zodanig, aan het hof simpelweg bekendstond als Monsieur). Hoewel de directe afstammelingen van Lodewijk XIV de troon behielden, floreerden de afstammelingen van zijn broer Filips tot het einde van de Franse monarchie, hielden de kroon van 1830 tot 1848, en bestaan nog steeds als pretendenten.

Learn about the anatomical functions of the shoulder as a weight-bearing joint during a three-hour workshop on Monday, Aug. 11 at the Anatomy in Clay Centers in Denver. The workshop will begin at 6 p.m. The center is located one block south of the Evans Light Rail Station at 2207 S. Delaware St.
Participants will re-create all of the functioning parts of the shoulder from colored clay applied to a detailed, realistic plastic model. Building in this way is an active learning process that is both engaging and informative. Included within the workshop is a movement session using exercises and stretches that focus on the very muscles and tendons that are being made.
The muscles and tendons of the shoulder are often injured through overuse or specific trauma. Understanding this anatomy is beneficial for anyone who wants to get more enjoyment and satisfaction from their activities. To realize how shoulders are used in any weight-bearing exercise helps us to appreciate the hard work they do and enforces the need for knowledge about their care.
Amy Anderson, PMA®-CPT, has been a Pilates instructor-trainer for more than twenty years and is a Gold Certified Pilates Method Alliance teacher. A Dance Medicine Specialist and professional ballet dancer, she has developed a series of very effective exercises and stretches to aid in the prevention and rehabilitation of joint issues. Gregory Gonzales leads hands-on sessions using the Anatomy In Clay® Learning System to explore and understand the mechanisms of the knee, the hip, and the foot/ankle system. Gregory has an academic background in kinesiology and decades of work as a professional dancer and dance instructor.
Call 720-570-7820 or email info@anatomyinclaycenters.org. Members of the media interested in learning more about the Anatomy in Clay Centers or about the renovation of the building where the workshops are taught may contact Mark Stevens (mstevens@ecentral.com or 303-495-8699).

Q: How can I unit test this async method which (correctly) throws an exception? I have the following method in an interface..
Task<SearchResult<T>> SearchAsync(TU searchOptions);

works great.
Now i'm trying to make a unit test to test when something goes wrong - and the code throws an exception.
In this case, I've setup my method to throw an HttpRequestException. My unit test fails to say that I threw that exception ..
var result = Should.Throw<HttpRequestException>
    (async () => await service.SearchAsync(searchOptions));

the error message from the unit test is

Shouldly.ChuckedAWobbly
  var result = Should
          throw
      System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException
          but does not

So the assertion framework is saying: You've expected an exception, but none was thrown.
When I step -through- the code, the exception is 100% thrown.
Can anyone see what i've done wrong with my unit test code, please?

A: Test it like this:
var result = Should.Throw<HttpRequestException>
    (() => service.SearchAsync(searchOptions).Result);

Or:
var result = Should.Throw<HttpRequestException>
    (() => service.SearchAsync(searchOptions).Wait());

Otherwise, your Should.Throw returns before the async lambda has completed.

A: Unit testing async code/functionality is pretty hard. I myself am getting into unit testing async and running into the same problems as you do.
I found the following two resources very helpful:

*

*Best practices in async programming - it delves into the subject of async and the problems with testing it.

*Unit testing async the wrong way and Unit testing async the right way - delves into the subject, shows the problems that you will encounter and how to setup the testing.

A: The problem is that the passed lambda returns a Task. The thrown exception can only be observed by Should.Throw if it waits for this task to complete, which apparently it does not. As a work-around, you can .Wait on the task returned by SearchAsync yourself.
mstest (the built-in visual studio testing framework) has support for async tests since Visual Studio 2012. You can basically just change the test method declaration by replacing "void" by "async Task".
[TestMethod]
[ExpectedException(typeof(System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException))]
public async Task SomeTest()
{
   await service.SearchAsync(searchOptions);
}

You are probably using a different unit testing framework, but it's not clear which one. Consult its documentation to see if it supports async tests.
NUnit 2.6.3 also seems to support async tests.
edit: so you are using xUnit. This particular issue was fixed for xUnit 2.0. It's currently still alpha though.

A: The exception is thrown on a different thread to that on which your unit test runs. The unit test framework can only anticipate exceptions on its own thread.
I would suggest you test the exception on a synchronous version of the service.

A: The problem is that your assertion framework does not understand asynchronous methods. I recommend you raise an issue with them.
In the meantime, you can use the source for Should.Throw to write your own MyShould.ThrowAsync:
public static async Task<TException> ThrowAsync<TException>(Func<Task> actual)
    where TException : Exception
{
  try
  {
    await actual();
  }
  catch (TException e)
  {
    return e;
  }
  catch (Exception e)
  {
    throw new ChuckedAWobbly(new ShouldlyMessage(typeof(TException), e.GetType()).ToString());
  }

  throw new ChuckedAWobbly(new ShouldlyMessage(typeof(TException)).ToString());
}

And use it as such:
var result = await MyShould.ThrowAsync<HttpRequestException>
    (async () => await service.SearchAsync(searchOptions));

or the slightly simpler and equivalent:
var result = await MyShould.ThrowAsync<HttpRequestException>
    (() => service.SearchAsync(searchOptions));

A: Today Shouldly contains Should.ThrowAsync<T>.
You can use it like this:
await Should.ThrowAsync<HttpRequestException>(() => service.SearchAsync(searchOptions));

Езерото Баринго е част от системата на Източноафриканската рифтова долина и е едно от седемте вътрешни езера, които я отводняват. То е второто от север на юг по нейното протежение и се намира в източната част на Кения. Езерото е описано за първи път от Джоузеф Томсън през 1883 година. Девет години по-късно, през 1892 г., английският геолог Джон Уолтър Грегъри обяснява създаването на Източноафриканската рифтова долина, базирайки се на наблюденията си върху Баринго. Езерото носи названието си от местната дума Mparingo, означаваща езеро.

Езерото е изключително важно за местните племена, които ползват водите му както за битови нужди, така и за напояване и водопой на домашните животни. Други важни аспекти са генерирането на приходи чрез туризъм, опазване на биологичното разнообразие и риболова.

География
Баринго е разположено встрани от традиционните пътища и напомня оазис в горещата, прашна и безводна местност. Западно от езерото се издигат хълмовете Туген, изградени от стъпаловидно разположени вулканични, предимно базалтови и седиментни скали. На изток от него се спускат склоновете на платото Лайкипия, а на юг достига до веригата дефилета Елдама. Навсякъде около езерото се намират следи, доказващи вулканичния му произход. В северния му край, на 1449 метра височина, се издига спящият вулкан Кароси (Karosi). Почвите около Баринго са преобладаващи глинести.

Баринго е разположено на надморска височина 1000 m и има площ от около130 km2 през дъждовния сезон. Водите му прогресивно намаляват, което води до намаляване и на общата му площ. През 1976 г. тя е била 219 km2, през 1986 г. – 136 km2, а през 1995 г. – 114 km2. По данни от 2001 г. територията, която заема, достига едва 108 km2. Ако тази тенденция продължи, очакванията са, че през 2025 г. езерото ще намали площта си наполовина. Приблизителната му дължина е около 20 km, а ширината 8,9 – 11 km в зависимост от сезона. Дълбочината му от 4,1 метра през дъждовния сезон е почти еднаква навсякъде. Рекордна дълбочина на езерните води е измерена в периода 1969-1972 г., когато тя достига 8 метра, а през 2003 г. преди започването на обилните дъждове, е спаднала на 1,7 метра. За средна дълбочина на езерото, общо за двата сезона се приема 2,5 метра, а за максимална годишна – 3,5 m. Водосборният му басейн се простира на площ от 68 200 km2 и обхваща територии от районите Баринго, Лайкипия, Койбатек и Накуру.

В езерото са разположени няколко малки вулканични острова, най-големият от които е Ол Кокве (Ol Kokwe). Той е красив скалист остров, изпъстрен със селца на племето илчамус. Представлява изгаснал вулкан, свързан с вулкана Короси. Покрай северния бряг на Баринго се намират няколко горещи извора и могат да се наблюдават фумароли със серни утайки.

Води
Езерото се подхранва основно от реките с целогодишен режим Ел Моло и Перкера (Perkerra), както и от сезонните Ол Арабел, Макутан, Тангулбей, Ендао и Чемерон, които пресъхват през сухия сезон. Няма нито един отток. Баринго се характеризира с много високи годишни нива на изпарение – от 1250 до 2300 mm и следователно езерните нива зависят до голяма степен от притока на пресни води.

Водите, които се вливат в него водят началото си от хълмовете Туген и Мау. По дъното му се просмукват през седиментните скали и проникват до по-твърдите скални пластове. То е едно от двете сладководни езера в рифтовата долина на Кения. Водите му често са мътни, което частично се дължи на интензивната ерозия на почвата във водосбора, особено в равнината южно от езерото. Въпреки този факт и въпреки малките му размери, водите му са съвсем пресни за разлика от други малки езера в Рифтовата долина, които са изключително алкални. Професор Джон Грегъри обяснява това с просмукването на водите между скалите на север от езерото.

По-старите тераси на езерото могат да се видят на 5 и 9 метра над сегашното му ниво. Счита се, че в миналото езерото е било свързано с езерото Туркана чрез река Сугота и от там с река Нил, тъй като леглото му съдържа останки от сладководни организми от нилски тип, които не живеят в езерото в наши дни.

Климат
Въпреки че езерото е разположено в район с полусух климат, водосборният му басейн достига и до зони с полувлажен до влажен климат. Характеристиката на валежите е бимодална, а дъждовете са от интензивни през дългия дъждовен сезон до непостоянни през краткия. Валежите в района са оскъдни – между 450 до 900 mm годишно, докато в отводняваните от езерото райони се повишават до 1100 – 2700 mm. Дългият дъждовен период трае от април до август, а късият – от октомври до ноември.

Флора и фауна

Бреговете на езерото се обитават от над 470 вида местни и мигриращи птици, някои от които са значими в регионален и световен мащаб като мигриращото фламинго. Характерни за езерното крайбрежие са африкански орел рибар, ястребовите птици , , , совата , марабу, пеликани, корморанът , мухоловки от род Terpsiphone, птицата носорог , и . Могат да се срещнат и леговища на чапли голиат, въпреки че броят им застрашително намалява.

Баринго е местообитание и за седем ценни сладководни вида риба. Подвид на цихлидната риба Oreochromis alcalicus baringoensi е ендемичен за езерото. Ендемична за областта е и нилската тилапия. Освен нея Баринго е обитавано от , , двойнодишащата риба  и . Последната обаче почти е изчезнала от водите на езерото, заради химичните замърсители, носени от вливащите се в него реки. Запасите от риба в езерото са малки, а една от причините е намаляването на нивото на водата заради сушите и прекомерното черпене за напояване.

Областта наоколо е местообитание на много видове животни, включително хипопотам, нилски крокодил и много други бозайници, земноводни, влечуги и безгръбначни. В районите на север и изток от езерото са върнати няколко екземпляра ротшилдови жирафи, интересни с наличието на пет рога – три на върха на главата и два край ушите.

В близост до Camp jetty се намира открит парк за влечуги, съществуващ под егидата на организацията "Национални музеи на Кения". В него се отглеждат различни видове змии, характерни за района, като най-интересните екземпляри са от вида черна мамба.

Население
Езерото се намира в южния край на област, населена с етническите групи рендиле, календжин (туген), туркана, покот и илчамус. Племената покот заемат северното крайбрежие, календжин – източното, илчамус – южното и югоизточното, туркана и рендиле – западното. Илчамус и покот са предимно пастири, докато календжин са освен пастири, и земеделци. Нивото на бедност е високо, а достъпът до здравни и образователни заведения – силно ограничен. За икономическото и социално развитие на местното население от голямо значение е риболовът. Ловят се главно нилска тилапия (80,4%), Protopterus aethiopicus (7,95%), Clarias gariepinus (9,8%), Barbus intermedius (0,96%) и Labeo cylindricus.

Главният град в близост до езерото е Маригат. В околността се намира и туристическото селище Kampi Ya Samaki, населено от около 500 семейства, с пощенска служба, организирана магазинна мрежа и евтини места за нощувки – "Кемп Дейвид", "Мама Лина" и "Вила Уивър". Извън него и по островите са изградени по-реномирани хотели и вили като клуб "Езеро Баринго", Island Camp и Samatian Island, както и най-новият къмпинг Ol Teppes Island Cottage.

Близо до езерото, на хълмовете Туген са намерени няколко важни археологически и палеонтологични находки – останки от хуманоиди и хомениди от Миоцена и Плейстоцена.

Екология
Най-големите заплахи за езерото Баринго включват понижаване на качеството на водата, производство на вредна биомаса, промени в земеползването, увеличаване на утайките и вредното им въздействие върху биологичното разнообразие в него. Интензивната ерозия на околните терени, благодарение на масовото изсичане на горите и допълнителното оголване на пасищата водят до натрупване на седименти по езерното дъно и постепенното му заблатяване. В сравнение с 1976 г. горите в околността са намалели наполовина. Въпреки че водите на езерото са силно намалели, през дъждовния сезон често се стига до сериозни наводнения.

Законодателната рамка за прилагане на инициативи за управление на езерото се прилага с различен резултат и не достатъчно успешно. Действието ѝ е свързано с допълнителни програми като например Националния план за намаляване на опустиняването, Националния план за запазване на биоразнообразието, Националното управление на влажните зони и много други. Всички тези организации имат общата цел за постигане на устойчиво и разумно използване на природните ресурси, така че да отговарят на нуждите на населението.

UBC Theses and Dissertations
A comparison of the inductive and the deductive methods in teaching two units of sequential mathematics in heterogeneous classes of the senior high school Holyoke, Frederick Vernon
Problem: Does the inductive method offer advantages over the deductive for heterogeneous classes in Senior High School mathematics? A proposal is made that all students in such classes start together with practical applications and that each proceed as far into theory as he is able. There is some question, however, as to whether the inductive order and style of presentation would result in loss of learning, especially in the theoretical aspects, as compared with the deductive method. To help answer this question a controlled experiment was conducted in which two classes, equated by mean and standard deviation on the bases of I.Q. and previous mathematics marks, worked during eight 40 minute periods on elementary trigonometry and during seven similar periods on chords in a circle. This subject matter, the same for both classes, formed part of their regular course in Grade XI mathematics. The inductive group began with practical applications and proceeded to theory while the deductive group followed the reverse order; both classes were held to the same length of time for each type of work, however. Mimeographed sheets were provided to pupils for each lesson. The groups were reversed as to method for the second unit. Teacher-made tests were employed for measuring learning gain. The first unit of the experiment was later carried on with sample classes in two other schools. Results showed no statistically significant differences in general learning gain between the two methods. Results in the first unit by the original sample indicated no loss in the theoretical aspects under the inductive method. Information concerning this feature was not available from the other groups or from the second unit. In general, the evidence favoured the null hypothesis.

Forced Migration Review (FMR) est une publication publiée par le centre d'études sur les réfugiés de l'université d'Oxford, sur les réfugiés, les déplacés internes et les problèmes d'apatridie. Elle est éditée en quatre langues : en anglais bien sûr mais aussi en espagnol, en arabe et en français.

Histoire et profil
La revue a été fondée en 1987 sous le nom de bulletin d'information Refugee Participation Network. Le premier numéro a été publié en novembre 1987. En avril 1998, elle est relancée sous le nom de Forced Migration Review (FMR). Elle est publiée par le Centre d'études sur les réfugiés de l'université d'Oxford en quatre langues, à savoir l'anglais, l'arabe, l'espagnol et le français. Elle est également distribuée gratuitement. Il paraît environ trois fois par an, avec des suppléments occasionnels et des numéros spéciaux. La plupart des numéros ont un thème principal et comportent également des « articles généraux » sur d'autres aspects de la migration forcée.

FMR offre un forum axé sur la pratique pour débattre des problèmes auxquels sont confrontés les réfugiés et les déplacés internes afin d'améliorer les politiques et les pratiques et d'impliquer les réfugiés et les personnes déplacées dans la conception et la mise en œuvre des programmes.

Q: How to make Bootstrap file browse button using django-crispy-forms Here is my Django forms.py script, using django-crispy-forms
#!/usr/bin/env python
from django import forms
from .models import Method1
from crispy_forms.helper import FormHelper
from crispy_forms.layout import Submit, Layout

class Method1Form(forms.ModelForm):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        """ Use for wrapping bootstrap
        This is crispy stuff.
        """
        super(Method1Form, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.helper = FormHelper()
        self.helper.form_id = 'id-method1Form'
        self.helper.form_class =  'form-horizontal'
        self.helper.label_class = 'col-lg-2'
        self.helper.field_class = 'col-lg-8'
        self.helper.form_method = 'post'
        self.fields['inputfile_param'].label = "Input File"
        self.fields['species_param'].label = "Species"
        self.fields['norm_mode_param'].label = "Normalization"
        self.fields['logscale_param'].label = "Log Scale"
        self.helper.layout = Layout(
                'inputfile_param',
                'species_param',
                'norm_mode_param',
                'logscale_param',
          )
        self.helper.add_input(Submit('submit', 'Submit'))

I can create the following form:

As shown there, I'd like to make the browse button with Bootstrap style.
How can achieve that?
I'm thinking of something like this:

Complete HTML rendered by Django looks like this:

/* Stuff for django-crispy */
.asteriskField {
        display: none;
}

.form-control {
    font-size:18px;
    font-family:  "Helvetica Neue",HelveticaNeue;
}

.form-horizontal {
    padding-left: 120px;
    padding-right: 130px;
    font-size:20px;
    font-family:  "Helvetica Neue",HelveticaNeue;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>

       <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">

       <meta charset="utf-8">

<form  id="id-method1Form" class="form-horizontal" method="post"  enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type='hidden' name='csrfmiddlewaretoken' value='JdUjVaRwOkOxbQmoeSaSHTaDNTlwjs5U' />

                Input File*
 <input class="clearablefileinput" id="id_inputfile_param" name="inputfile_param" type="file" />

                Species*
 <select class="select form-control" id="id_species_param" name="species_param">
<option value="mouse" selected="selected">Mouse</option>
<option value="human">Human</option>
</select>

                Normalization*
 <select class="select form-control" id="id_norm_mode_param" name="norm_mode_param">
<option value="genecount_norm" selected="selected">Gene Count</option>
<option value="totalscore_norm">Total Score</option>
</select>

  <input class="checkboxinput" id="id_logscale_param" name="logscale_param" type="checkbox" />
                    Log Scale

 <input type="submit"
    name="submit"
    value="Submit"

        class="btn btn-primary"
        id="submit-id-submit"

    />

 </form>

A: For those that find this, the previous answer does NOT work. The OP is asking for a file input field, not any type of field with a button on it. It seems like Crispy doesn't plan on ever fixing this issue (see issue). Using FieldWithButtons will create an input field with the same default button in addition to a crispy button that says "Go", like this: Go Browse button
The only crispy-centric way to do this is by creating a Browse button template and simply calling template=<your_template>.html when you make the field. I pulled bits from the BaseInput template to make this and it works.
file_input.html

    {% if field.field.required %}*{% endif %}
    Browse
    <input type="file"
           name="{% if input.name|wordcount > 1 %}{{ input.name|slugify }}{% else %}{{ input.name }}{% endif %}"
           class="{{ input.field_classes }}"
           id="{% if input.id %}{{ input.id }}{% else %}{{ input.input_type }}-id-{{ input.name|slugify }}{% endif %}"
           hidden
           >

forms.py
class ProfileUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Profile
        fields = ['image']

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.helper = FormHelper()
        self.helper.layout = Layout(
            # Fieldset('', *self.fields),
            Fieldset('', Button('image', "Browse", css_class="clearablefileinput form-control-file", template="file_input.html", css_id="id_image")),
            FormActions(
                Submit('save', 'Update Profile'),
            )
        )

views.py
def profile(request):
    p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(request.POST, instance=request.user.profile, files=request.FILES)
    #...etc...

Result:
Bootstrappy browse button

A: I know this is an old post but for any one interested, Crispy Forms has this in the documentation:
 FieldWithButtons: You can create an input connected with buttons:

 FieldWithButtons('field_name', StrictButton("Go!"))

this is in the docs for crispy forms Bootstrap Layout objects

Man insults mother for supporting estranged wife
A Kenyan court has refused to grant bail to Denis Kimani, after he insulted his mother, Lucy Muthoni, and threatened to deal with her outside the court, for supporting his estranged wife.
Kimani was arraigned for calling his mother names as well as telling her that she gave birth "to too many children' after she welcomed his (Kimani's) estranged wife to their home in Umoja. He allegedly also threatened to beat his mother during the altercation on August 9, reports Kenya's SDE.
The court heard that the accused arrived home at 7pm and met his estranged wife, whom according to the police, had come to collect her belongings.
Police said Kimani was not impressed when he met his estranged wife at his home in the company of his mother.

Police said Kimani demanded to know why his ex-wife was in his home.
But when his mother stepped in to calm him down, Kimani allegedly turned his fury on his mother for welcoming the woman to their home.
The court heard that Kimani mocked his mother for giving birth to too many children but chose to make life unbearable for him alone. It took the arrival of neighbours to calm Kimani.
Kimani pleaded not guilty to the charges.
However, the court refused to grant him bail, after his mother told the court she feared for her safety as the accused promised to deal with her afterwards.
He will be in police custody till September 29, when his case will be heard.

Coldplay's Chris Martin says band will not tour its new album due to environment concerns

Coldplay is one of the biggest bands in the world, racking up millions of record sales and packing out stadiums with adoring fans wherever they play.
With a new record due for release Friday, you would expect the band to embark on a huge tour to promote it. Not so, with the their singer citing sustainability as a concern.
"We're not touring this album," Chris Martin told the BBC in an interview.
"We're taking time over the next year or two, to work out how our tour can not only be sustainable [but] how can it be actively beneficial," Martin told the broadcaster, going on to add that the band would be "disappointed" if its next tour was not carbon neutral.
"The hardest thing is the flying side of things," Martin explained to the BBC, adding that the band's dream was to "have a show with no single use plastic, to have it largely solar powered."
The band is currently in Jordan, where it will play two shows on Friday to promote its new album, Everyday Life. A gig at the Natural History Museum in London will follow on Monday.
In a statement issued on its website earlier this week, Coldplay said the London concert was "expected to be the band's only U.K. show of the Everyday Life era."
Coldplay's decision, and Martin's mention of flying, chimes with growing concerns about aviation and its impact on the environment, with high profile activists such as Greta Thunberg seeking to increase public awareness of the issue.
According to the European Aviation Environmental Report for 2019, domestic and international aviation accounted for 3.6% of European Union member states' greenhouse gas emissions in 2016.
The report, a joint publication from the European Environment Agency, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and Eurocontrol, also found that carbon dioxide emissions from aviation were expected to grow by "at least" 21% by the year 2040.

That's cool! Did you make any progress on the Spinergy disc brake conversion?
Not at this time, as weather is good, I ride !
I found Hope M6 brakes, so now I am looking for matched black/gold M4 pair of caliper, in order to have double M4 on front, and single M6 on rear !
But it's a looong time project..
What a collection! Impressive! I like its side cyberpunk style Japanese.
very nice collection. What model is that intense and do you still have it?

'Doomsday Clock' moves 90 seconds closer to midnight
'Doomsday Clock' closer to midnight than ever before, noting threats of nuclear war, disease and climate volatility had been exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine
The clock with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is placed ahead of the announcement of the location of the minute hand on its Doomsday Clock , indicating what world developments mean for the perceived likelihood of nuclear catastrophe at the National press club in Washington, U.S, January 24, 2023.
Deutsche Welle | Published 25.01.23, 03:48 PM
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists on Tuesday set its symbolic "Doomsday Clock" closer to midnight than ever before, noting threats of nuclear war, disease and climate volatility had been exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The time on the clock was moved to 90 seconds to midnight for 2023. Midnight is supposed to symbolize the end of humanity.
The change in the clock comes after three COVID pandemic-assisted years at a previous record of 100 seconds to midnight.
The group said it was bringing the time closer to midnight "due largely but not exclusively to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the increased risk of nuclear escalation."
Why is the 'Doomsday Clock' moving closer to midnight?
Rachel Bronson, the Bulletin's president and CEO said at a news conference in Washington on Tuesday, "Russia's thinly-veiled threats to use nuclear weapons remind the world that escalation of the conflict — by accident, intention or miscalculation — is a terrible risk. The possibilities that the conflict could spin out of anyone's control remains high."
The group, whose roots can be traced back to the design and use of the first nuclear weapons, also said that fighting around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and the exclusion zone around the disused Chernobyl meltdown site exacerbated the atomic risks.
Bronson said the group's announcement would also be translated into Russian and Ukrainian for the first time, in a bid to garner relevant attention.
She added that moving the clock closer to midnight than ever was "a decision we do not take lightly," and a reflection of how "we are living in a time of unprecedented danger."
She urged western countries and Ukraine to redouble their efforts for a negotiated solution.
"The US government, its NATO allies and Ukraine have a multitude of channels for dialogue; we urge leaders to explore all of them to their fullest ability to turn back the Clock," Bronson said.
What is the Doomsday Clock?
The Bulletin describes its clock as a "metaphor for how close humanity is to self-annihilation," and moves it forwards or backwards based on its perception of changing global threat levels.
Albert Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer and other scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project and the first nuclear weapons founded the Bulletin, a Chicago-based non-profit, in 1945. The idea of the Doomsday Clock followed in 1947.
The clock was originally set at seven minutes to midnight. The furthest from midnight it has ever been was in 1991, following the end of the Cold War as the Soviet Union unraveled, when it was set to 17 minutes to midnight.
The clock was also featured heavily in the graphic novel and later film called Watchmen, gaining it increased notoriety.
A group of nuclear and climate scientists and other experts, including 13 Nobel laureates, discuss world events to decide what time to set the clock at each year.
Chemical weapons threats, coal revival among other Ukraine-related factors
Bronson on Tuesday also cited a potential risk of the use of biological weapons in the war in Ukraine.
"The continuing stream of disinformation about bioweapons laboratories in Ukraine raises concern that Russia itself may be thinking of deploying such weapons," she said.
Sivan Kartha, a Bulletin board member and scientist at the Stockholm Environmental Institute, said that risks to the climate were also becoming ever-more visible, and were fueled by increased coal usage to generate power as countries seek alternatives to Russian natural gas.
"Global carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels, after having rebounded from the COVID economic decline to an all-time-high in 2021, continue to rise in 2022 and hit another record high," Kartha said. "With emissions still rising, weather extremes continue, and were even more clearly attributable to climate change."
She pointed to 2022 flooding in Pakistan as one such example.
Call for G7 nuclear disarmament negotiations
Former UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon noted the shift on the clock and called on world leaders to take action.
"Leaders did not heed the Doomsday Clock's warnings in 2020," Ban said. "We all continue to pay the price. In 2023 it is vital for all our sakes that they act."
The Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons also noted the clock's shift.
"We have had enough of the Doomsday Clock warnings being followed by inaction," ICAN executive director Beatrice Fihn said in a statement. "The leaders of the nuclear armed states must urgently negotiate nuclear disarmament, and the G7 meeting in Hiroshima in May 2023 is the perfect place to outline such a plan."
Hiroshima was the first Japanese city to be hit by a US atomic bomb on August 6, 1945, a few days before Nagasaki.
These two attacks led to Japan's surrender and an end to fighting on World War II's final front in Asia, but also to the Bulletin's foundation and to the nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union during what would become the Cold War.

Ernst Gaber (* 12. April 1881 Mannheim; † 25. Oktober 1952 Heidelberg) war ein deutscher Bauingenieur und Hochschullehrer.

Leben

Gaber war der Sohn des Schreinermeisters Adam Gaber. Er heiratete 1909 Erna Ottilie Killinger (* 12. April 1889), Tochter des Geheimen Regierungsrats Emil Killinger. Während seines Studiums wurde Gaber Mitglied der Karlsruher Burschenschaft Tulla. Nach seiner Promotion zum Dr.-Ing. im Jahr 1913 über das Thema Bau und Berechnung gewölbter Brücken und ihrer Lehrgerüste bei Friedrich Engesser nahm er 1921 einen Ruf an die Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe an. Hier übernahm er den Aufbau eines Prüfraums zur Durchführung von experimentellen Untersuchungen. Dieser Prüfraum legte den Grundstock für die Versuchsanstalt für Stahl, Holz und Steine, die im Jahr 2011 ihr 90-jähriges Bestehen feierte. Im Jahr 1932 trat Gaber in die NSDAP ein. Ende der 1930er Jahre wurde auf dem Gelände der Technischen Hochschule Karlsruhe der sogenannte "Gaber-Turm", errichtet, in dem die damals größte stehende dynamische Prüfmaschine der Welt mit einer Maximallast von 5.000 t installiert wurde. Im Mai 1945 wurde er aufgrund seiner Mitgliedschaft in der NSDAP aus dem Hochschuldienst entlassen, konnte aber nach seiner Einstufung als Mitläufer im Spruchkammerverfahren im Jahr 1947 seine Lehr- und Forschungstätigkeit bis zu seiner Emeritierung 1950 fortsetzen.

Sein Nachfolger im Amt wurde 1949 Otto Steinhardt.

Dupre Marine Transportation launches Helm CONNECT Personnel
Leading marine software company Helm Operations has announced that Houma, LA-based Dupre Marine Transportation is the first company to go live with its newly-launched Helm CONNECT Personnel software for crew management and payroll. Dupre Marine is just one of several marine companies which have signed on for the new product since its launch in mid-June.
Helm CONNECT Personnel is the latest addition to the Helm CONNECT platform, which covers all aspects of marine operations from vessel dispatch, chartering, and invoicing, to maintenance, compliance, and now personnel management, crew scheduling, and payroll. Today, nearly 3,000 vessels around the world use Helm CONNECT, making it the most widely used marine software platform in North America.
Dupre Marine Transportation is a Houma, Louisiana-based tow boat operator specializing in petrochemical transportation. The seven-boat company is known for its cutting-edge approach to data digitalization and efficient vessel management using software systems. "While we often think of larger companies as the ones driving the pace of the industry, Dupre Marine Transportation is a really great example of how smaller fleet operators are taking advantage of new technology to implement efficient operations," says Rachel Aylard, Helm's Product Manager for Helm CONNECT Personnel, who has worked closely with Dupre over the past several years.
An early adopter of the Helm CONNECT platform, Dupre Marine began with Helm CONNECT Maintenance and Compliance in 2016. "Our old system was difficult for our vessel staff to navigate, and we were still using paper for many of our forms and inspections. Since implementing Helm CONNECT, we've become a more efficient, better organized operator, and have improved communication with our vessels. We now have better insight into what's happening on the boats and can easily see what's being done and when it's being done," says Calvin Self, Operations Manager.
When Helm CONNECT Personnel became available, Dupre saw it as a perfect fit to further streamline its business operations. "Instead of using Excel to manage crew changes, we can now see everything in one system, including who's on which boat, who's already scheduled to work, and who has a conflict. The transparency for the crew is also a huge win. Changes don't get lost in emails and the crew can log into Helm CONNECT and see everything instantly," says Self.
According to Aylard, that's exactly why her company released Helm CONNECT Personnel. "We built Helm CONNECT Personnel to help companies stay on top of their crew certifications and training requirements, spend less time managing the crewing on and off their vessels, and better communicate from shore to vessel in real time.
"With Helm CONNECT Personnel, shore staff can clearly see who's already scheduled to work, who has time off, or who is missing the required certifications for a job. They can also manage payroll. At the same time, crew can easily be notified about any changes, accurately track their time onboard, and manage their leave banks."
It's an approach, she says, that has resonated with the industry and with both large and small operators. "We've had a huge response from the industry, both in using the system and helping us build out additional functionality. We're thrilled to have Dupre up and running as our first customer on the software and we've already got a number of operators ready to get going with Helm CONNECT Personnel, from smaller operators like Dupre to larger operators like Foss. It's exciting to help so many companies implement systems that will improve their operations, and we're looking forward to growing our product from here."

Black Series Review | Clone Captain Rex (Standard Release)
May 11, 2018 Thomas Storai	Leave a comment
The leader of the 501st strikes back to enhance the Black Series collection…
Just like the Death Star Trooper, Clone Captain Rex has had the benefit of two releases. The first coming in the form of a HASCON exclusive and without the digital print tech, and the second version that I'm reviewing, which uses the digital print tech. That's not the only difference, this version being a regular release, Hasbro removed two accessories – the blaster and the rifle. This version only comes with the two blaster pistols and the removable helmet.
First Look:
Clone Captain Rex is a fan favorite character from The Clone Wars and it's just amazing to have him released in the Black Series! And with him being an animated character, Hasbro had to adapt it in a realistic style. Considering, he's a clone, it was an easy task, they just used a traditional clone trooper sculpt and added the kama (flexible leather armour accoutrement) and an armoured shoulder pauldron. For the helmet though, it was different, they had to use a new sculpt as Rex's helmet in phase II is unique to the character.
The Figure:
Hasbro went above and beyond with the design, they combined the two different phase helmets to get the perfect one for Rex. The antenna on the helmet can move like in the series, it's rigid enough not to get bent. You can see the weld effects on the helmet and on the armoured torso replicating his characterisation from the series and revealing the alterations he'd made to the armour. The helmet is highly detailed and includes his "kill count" scorecard tally which is pleasingly etched onto the armoured exterior, same goes for his arms.
For the head sculpt, and Hasbro has used a digital facial scan of saga icon Temuera Morrison, the actor playing all of the clones in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. It's just unbelievable how the figure looks just like him! I'd love to see a live-action Clone Wars movie just to see Temuera playing Rex! And hopefully, Hasbro will re-release a Jango Fett figure with this new sculpt and digital print tech, this would be a great improvement over the previous Jango figure.
Up Close:
Rex has 20 points of articulation with extra articulation for the arms allowing better battle poses with the armor! They gave this figure a nice dirty effect on the majority of his armor, it's not completely clean. It's a dirty effect that feels natural and not overdone.
Unfortunately, this figure is not all perfect. I have two major issues with it. The first is the helmet, putting it and removing it is difficult! You have to push too much to put it on the figure. It's rather annoying and frustrating. I think, they should have made an interchangeable head with the helmet on, this would have been so much better and it wouldn't have cost too much in additional plastic to do. The second issue is with the blaster holsters, they suffer from the same problem as the helmet – difficult to remove from and put in the holsters. I would advise against applying too much pressure to put them in the holsters as they'd be too difficult to remove, plus, it feels quite fragile, it's at your own risk.
Captain Rex is a brilliant figure on so many levels – the sculpt, the head, the battle-worn armour, the articulation, high level of details. But it also has two big problems that prevent this figure from being top notch.
Here are some pictures with S.H. Figuarts Anakin Skywalker (AOTC) and a Battle Droid (TPM) for some action. They fit great with Rex! And a comparison with Black Series Commander Gree figure, you can see it's the same sculpt.
Add Captain Rex to your collection and build your 501st army!
