Euphorbia aphylla Brouss. ex Willd., conocida en castellano como tolda, tabaiba salvaje o alcanutilla, es una especie de arbusto perenne suculento perteneciente a la familia Euphorbiaceae. Es originaria de la Macaronesia.

Descripción

Se trata de un arbusto suculento de porte globoso, alcanzando hasta 80 cm de alto. Los tallos son delgados y cilíndricos, de color verde grisáceo y desprovistos de hojas. Las flores sésiles y de color amarillo anaranjado, se agrupan en pequeños racimos en las puntas de los tallos. Frutos muy pequeños, marrón claro o rojizos. Semillas pequeñas, de color marrón; carúncula sésil, parecida a un plato.

La floración se produce en primavera y verano.

Ecología
Es una especie endémica de las islas de La Gomera, Tenerife y Gran Canaria, en el archipiélago de Canarias ―España―.

Se desarrolla en riscos y terrenos pedregosos influenciados por la brisa marina, generalmente entre el nivel del mar y los 200 metros de altitud, teniendo un carácter halófilo.

Es bastante común en el norte y noroeste de Gran Canaria, donde predomina en la asociación vegetal denominada tabaibal de tolda grancanario ―Astydamio latifoliae-Euphorbietum aphyllae―. Suele estar acompañada de especies propias de la vegetación eminentemente costera como Astydamia latifolia, Frankenia capitata o Limonium pectinatum, así como por otras típicas del cardonal como Ceropegia fusca, Euphorbia balsamifera, Kleinia neriifolia o Rubia fruticosa.

En Tenerife se halla restringida a determinados enclaves de Los Silos y en el macizo de Teno entre los 50 y 350 m, formando también una asociación vegetal propia llamada en este caso tabaibal de tolda tinerfeño ―Ceropegio dichotomae-Euphorbietum aphyllae―. Como especies acompañantes destacan Argyranthemum coronopifolium, Ceropegia  dichotoma y Cheirolophus canariensis.

En La Gomera se extiende por el norte y este de la isla en ambientes influenciados por los vientos dominantes del nordeste, formando la asociación vegetal llamada tabaibal de tolda gomero ―Euphorbietum aphyllae―. Suele encontrarse acompañada de otras especies como Aeonium lindleyi, Euphorbia balsamifera, Kleinia neriifolia, Cneorum pulverulentum, Plocama pendula y Rubia fruticosa. También está presente en determinados lugares del sur de la isla, en el dominio del cardonal.

E. aphylla hibrida de manera natural con Euphorbia atropurpurea y con Euphorbia lamarckii en Tenerife, dando como resultados los nototaxones Euphorbia x petterssonii Svent. y Euphorbia x jubaephylla Svent. respectivamente. En Gran Canaria hibrida con Euphorbia regis-jubae, resultando Euphorbia x marreroi Molero & Rovira.

Taxonomía
El taxón fue nominado por el naturalista francés Pierre Marie Auguste Broussonet, siendo descrito y publicado por el botánico alemán Carl Ludwig Willdenow en Enumeratio Plantarum Horti Botanici Berolinensis en el año 1809.

 Etimología
 Euphorbia: nombre genérico dedicado a Euphorbus, médico de origen griego del rey mauritano Juba II.
 aphylla: epíteto griego compuesto de a, 'sin', y phylla, 'hoja', refiriéndose a la ausencia de hojas en la planta.

 Sinonimia
Presenta los siguientes sinónimos:

 Tirucallia aphylla (Brouss. ex Willd.) P.V.Heath
 Tithymalus aphyllus (Brouss. ex Willd.) Klotzsch & Garcke

Importancia económica y cultural
Fue utilizada tradicionalmente en las islas como planta medicinal, aprovechando su látex que, aunque tóxico, era usado en aplicaciones externas como remedio para las afecciones de la piel.

Es aprovechada ocasionalmente como planta ornamental, requiriendo pocos cuidados. Para su cultivo necesita una exposición directa al sol, poco riego, y suelo arenoso con buen drenaje. Soporta heladas hasta -3 °C.

Estado de conservación
La especie no ha sido evaluada por la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza, aunque sí se encuentra protegida a nivel de la Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias por la Orden de 20 de febrero de 1991 sobre protección de especies de la flora vascular silvestre en su Anexo II.

También está incluida en el apéndice II del Convención sobre el Comercio Internacional de Especies Amenazadas de Fauna y Flora Silvestres.

Nombres comunes
Se conoce popularmente como tolda o tabaiba salvaje, habiéndose anotado también las denominaciones de tabaibilla y tabaiba parida. Asimismo, el ilustrado tinerfeño José de Viera y Clavijo recogió también en su Diccionario de historia natural de las islas Canarias el nombre vernáculo de tabaiba morisca para referirse a esta especie.

Tolda es la forma con la que se la denominaba originalmente en Tenerife, estando considerada por algunos autores como de procedencia aborigen, mientras que en Gran Canaria se utilizaba tabaiba salvaje para designarla, isla de la que también parece ser el vernáculo de tabaiba parida. En la isla de La Gomera se la denomina tradicionalmente como tabaiba o alcanutilla.

My father hated both extreme-right and extreme-left politics with a vengeance and I can honestly say, that I never heard him tell a racist joke.
My father also liked his sport and always claimed he'd first been driven to White Hart Lane in a pony and trap, before the First Wold War. He said, that you used to give a kid, a shilling to hold the horse's head during the match.
He also used to like his athletics and one day told me with great joy, how the black American athlete Jesse Owens had annoyed Hitler by wining three gold medals.
So as I was in Berlin, I had to visit the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
I arrived at the S-bahn station and walked through to the U-bahn station from where I returned to Central Berlin.
These are some of the npictures that I took.
It was a cold walk, but would be very pleasant in the sun.
Looks good – Berlin is on our list of cities to visit, and I gather the availability of gluten free food is good there too.
It's getting better, but cities like Leipzig, Dresden and Munich are better.
Stations aren't very step-free either, often with long walks for good access.

The social dance and the party are have priority at the new "Temple of Kiz" festival, not so much a wide variety of workshops. For this purpose, only international DJs were booked, including DJ Valet, DJ Lenhy or DJ Nice Life along with other well-known Deejays. But also newcomer Deejay PG, who appeared for the first time at a festival, came like a bombshell with his fresh mix. Organizer Stefanie Pietas likes to give promising newcomers the chance to play at her festival.
For those eager to learn, there was a mix of individual workshops and several-hour boot camps throughout the day, primarily in the intermediate and advanced levels. National teachers like Stone's & Sabine, Lamsca Sagnia and international dance teachers like Aime & Trecy from Luxembourg or Hugo & Mariina were among the teachers in the pyramid. Those not attending workshops could let off steam at the social from 2 p.m. The evening party started at 10 p.m. under the modern pyramid dome and offered the guests the chance to dance to the finest Urban Kiz music until 7 a.m. in the morning.
We already reported about the location. Top modern equipment with great sound system and lighting technology and a sophisticated architecture. The "pyramid" is really something "special", not just an ordinary room with some sound system and a few lighting effects installed. The air conditioning can also be very well controlled here. Already just the very high ceiling avoids too much heat. Already before entering, you find yourself in front of the mighty pyramid with a large free car park right in front of the front door. The panoramic lounge under an open roof invites to linger (if the weather is warm). It would have been great if music was played here to enjoy the first hours of social dance under the sky. But the lounge is also perfect for a cup of coffee and a chat.
The traffic connection to the pyramid is excellent. A motorway access is very close, there are hotels within walking distance and various shops for the most necessary supply. Since it is located in an industrial area, there is no curfew or complaints due to loud music.
The well-balanced ratio of male and female dancers was also crucial for the great atmosphere. Already at ticket sales, the organizer had an eye on the ratio. Contrary to the original planning and due to many spontaneous interested dancers, there was also a box office. Nevertheless, there was no large excess of women, which is very difficult to plan with a box office. Thanks to the good work of the taxi teams such as Funomen, Kizomba Brigade Stuttgart, Casanova, Ghetto Kiz and the other groups, the ladies got their money's worth. Our poll resulted in very positive feedback on the overall balance and work of the taxi dancers groups. Since "Temple of Kiz" does not belong to the big events, but to the medium-sized festivals – measured by number of participants – the atmosphere still had a slightly familial character.
There was not much to complain about this event and if at all than on a rather high level. Of course, nobody needed the "stink bomb" on Friday night. It was – contrary to some assumptions – definitely not a drain problem of the pyramid, but the work of a guest. Whether stupid prank or common sabotage act, it was unsuccessful, because real Kizomberos don't let anything spoil their evening and they just danced on vigorously.
Some lamented that there was no possibility to dance in the panorama lounge. Here the roof can be opened completely and with great weather it would have been the perfect social dance floor. It was technically not possible to implement this spontaneously and was also meant to be a silent space. However, the organizers accept the feedback and therefore we can hope for an open air social next year.
Despite nearby shopping facilities, an in-house dining option or a food truck in the parking lot would have been desirable to replenish the occasional energy needs.
The prices for drinks were in a slightly upper price range. A 1-liter bottle of water, for example, costs € 6.00 hurt the finances of some guests, especially since also during the workshops no drinks were allowed to be brought.
Top! If you like pure Urban Kiz music, then you will get your money's worth in a unique location with top DJs and a small workshop program. The dancer ratio was pleasant despite box office and also the dancing level was remarkable. The organization and communication for the participants was very good and the atmosphere was consistently positive. A great accomplishment for the first edition and thus one of the most promising events in Germany. With this first edition's reputation, there will be many more dancers in the pyramid next year, in the best case on presale, to achieve the same, if not better, ratio then. The multi-level location always offers potential for growth.

The first "Black Forest Kizomba Days" took place mid-February in the small town Horb am Neckar. "Small but mighty" took on a new meaning here. Approximately 150 Kizomberos/as from Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Munich, Freiburg, Switzerland, Bremen and also France participated in this small and well-balanced event. You will learn in our article why the debut was a complete success.
7 dance teachers, 6 DJs and some taxi dancers (to balance out the ratio between male and female dancers) were invited to Horb for a total of 15 days and offered a total of 15 workshops and 2 parties in a fantastic ambience. In particular, the location – an old monastery – which is now an event location with catering, can really be described as unique. A unique atmosphere was created in the theater hall with its old vaulted masonry and the top sound system and lighting.
As international dance couple "Versus" from Italy was invited and were very well received by the participants. For the rest, the organizers put relied on well-known local artists and DJs. "We have excellent teachers and DJs in Germany and we want to support them." The concept was a success. Besides Versus, also George & Liza, Tony Gomes, Sunny & Victoria and Lamsca Sagnia gave workshops in various styles and all levels. The audience was very mixed. From beginners to very advanced dancers, all levels were represented, providing everyone with a feel-good atmosphere. Not only the crème de la crème meets here, also less experienced dancers can fully develop here. Therefore, the feedback of the guests is not surprising: the event organizers heard over and over comments like "unique", "sensational" and above all "familial".
Almost all guests want to come back and enjoy this familial atmosphere behind old monastery walls. "Nobody is anonymous here. You get to know each other and the atmosphere is very personal," says a guest. With this small, but for this dance organization nevertheless big event, they hit a nerve. The trend goes from large and mass events to "small and mighty".
At the premiere, there were also some areas for improvement. Thus the provided lunch snack was clearly insufficient. The majority of the guests would have preferred a proper meal. The organization has already put this on the "to-do list" for next year. "Next year, we're going to plan a proper meal for lunch. This time we underestimated it." Also, the catering could not keep up with the crowd of guests and could have been a bit more relaxed.
The workshop room on the second floor turned out to be unsuitable since the floor was not leveled tilted to one side. This made the dancing and balancing challenging. In favor of the beautiful location and the consistently positive event, however, the guests overlooked this shortcoming.
Especially the well-balanced male-female ratio was a crucial reason for the good mood in Horb. The organizers attached importance to this right from the beginning during the ticket sales. The 80 Full-passes were completely sold out and with 10 taxi dancers there was a great balance also on the parties. The organizers value taxi dancers, but only to some degree. Furthermore, there are always 1-2 female taxi dancers booked for the men. "There are enough gentlemen who do not feel confident enough to ask a good dancer for a dance. We like to solve this with female taxi dancers, who give these gentlemen a great dance experience ".
Also, the familiar atmosphere and the cooperation of the club members was felt throughout the event. Everyone helped and some ladies organized a cake buffet for Saturday night 2 days before. Thus, the guests could enjoy a sweet midnight snack, which recharged quite some energy levels.
On Saturday, a snow chaos that was unparalleled this winter became quite an obstacle for many dancers. Some guests had difficulties getting to the event and some spontaneous party guests decided to not join the party due to the weather. It was a shame for the guests and the organizers, but the Saturday night Gala Party was great and a lucky guest won an AfroMoves full-pass during the tombola.
Overall, the first "Black Forest Kizomba Days" was a very successful event and could become an insider tip for anyone looking for a good balance and a personal atmosphere. Those who are looking for a big event with dozens of taxi dancers are wrong here. It's a small and highly restricted event that emphasizes quality and a feel-good ambience.
From February 15th – 17th 2019, the 2nd edition will take place in a new location, to ensure a little more leg room during the workshops. First photos promise an equally beautiful location with a large free parking right outside the front door.
Among others, "Versus", George (Pack'n'dance), Daniela & Ahmet from AfroMoves, Lamsca Sagnia from Frankfurt and many more will follow in 2019. DJ Narc6 will be new in 2019 as same as Oncle Kani & Black Cherry from Paris. DJ Remcy and DJ Angelkizz as well as DJ Harryz Kizz are back again.
First tickets for early bird prices are already online. After the excellent reputation of the 1st edition, it can be assumed that the 2nd Edition will be sold out again.
"Kizombada" – a title of various Kizomba partys, which is used more and more. "KizombADA" in Wuppertal is a recommendable party series with a great passion for detail. The party owes its name to the Turkish regular location "Ada" which stands for "island". Mario Wolff's goal is to create a "Kizomba Island" for all Kizomba lovers, not just one more party. He has achieved this goal, relying not only on the creative name of his events. But what makes his event so special?
Mario knows his guests and greets and says goodbye to everyone personally unless he's at the turntables himself. During the event, he keeps asking his guests how they feel and gets their feedback. He wants his guests to feel comfortable, have fun, dance and enjoy Kizomba. Especially his regular guests appreciate this.
For the workshops, he emphasizes quality and variety. A group size of a maximum of 50 participants per workshop is the limit. If groups are too big, it is no fun for the participants, Mario says. Everyone should be able to ask their questions.
A special feature is the towel and T-shirt service. Fresh towels and shirts with the KizombADA logo are available for free and freshly washed. Mario offers this service for free at every party. In addition, fresh fruit is available for the participants during the workshop time. A small extra are the sweets at the party, which are also for free.
The balanced ratio between male and female dancers was remarkable, not only during the workshops, but also at the party itself. It is important to him that everyone has the chance to dance. He doesn't book taxi dancers though. The community is really nice, the people are very open and also newcomers are welcome.
Mario wants to offer variety when it comes to teachers and their classes. He wants to offer something for every taste and students should have the opportunity to get to know different styles. Thus, in addition to classic Kizomba he offered also various Urban Kiz workshops, Tarraxinha and Body movement.
Mario found his way to Kizomba through photography. He began shooting photos at various dance events, first at competition dancing, then at Salsa events and finally at Kizomba. Kizomba was still rare in the region at the time. He wondered why people attended Kizomba workshops when they had then the chance to dance it only to 2-3 Kizomba songs at parties. He took the initiative himself and began to organize Kizomba parties and started deejaying, first in Düsseldorf, later in Wuppertal.
The cooperation with the restaurant Ada is going well and it will stay their party location in the future. The parquet floor is ideal for dancing and with an area of 300m² it offers enough space for these events. The restaurant offers two rooms and allows flexible organization of events. The sound system is also of the highest quality and ideal for dance events. Dancing events take place 7 days a week, from Tango to Salsa. "Mario is one of the best organizers. We can rely on each other one hundred percent," says the restaurant owner.
The guests' feedback was almost exclusively positive. They came from the immediate region as well as from other surrounding cities like Colone, Dusseldorf, Dortmund or Essen.
"We come here frequently. The atmosphere here is very friendly, the people here just want to dance together and nobody is excluded"
"The organizer is very polite and very personal. He spoke a lot with the participants and thanked them for their participation"
"Due to the small group size and the detailed explanations of the teachers, it was possible to apply directly at the party what I had learned."
Of course, workshops and styles are also a matter of taste. Thus, some participants liked some of the workshops better than others, or some workshops were more critically judged. The overall feedback shows though that the organizer did a very good job.
The Saturday party was unfortunately not as well attended as expected. This was mainly due to other events that were taking place at the same time.
A longer break between workshops and party would have been preferred by many participants. Only one hour was scheduled (workshops until 21:00, party starting at 22:00). A little on the tight side for those who wanted to enjoy a relaxed dinner. As a result, the party started a little later.
The workshops were sold out before the event. The Saturday evening party could have needed one or two more spontaneous visitors, especially at a bigger event like this one. We hope for the Kizomba scene that the organizers will agree on dates in the future and thus create a win-win situation for everyone. This is above all an appeal to those who are planning an event in other areas where local and longer-established organizers are already active.
A longer break between workshops and party would have taken away the time pressure at dinner and the evening would have started more relaxed. Nevertheless, whoever complains about this is complaining about first world problems.
KizombADA events in Wuppertal under the direction of Mario Wolff are highly recommended. There are hardly any events that are organized and carried out with so much love for detail and heart and soul and where the guests are so much in the center of attention.
We are always happy to support Mario and his team and look forward to seeing you again.
Mario organizes Kizomba Parties every first Friday of the month. The next big KizombADA KizzWeekend takes place on April 5-7, 2019.
Asangi Kizomba Festival celebrated its premiere in Augsburg from October 27th – 29th 2017. A festival for lovers of classical Kizomba which offered classes by qualified Angolan Kizomba teachers who gave various workshops over two days. You will find out in our review what makes the charm of this event and what improvement potentials we still see.
The Asangi Kizomba Festival in Augsburg was small but nice. Asangi stands for "variety" and that's exactly what Joao Dontana offered with his varied program of Afro dances. The invited artists were mainly of Angolan origin, among them e.g. Cazuza Kinvula, Josy Semkizz, Mauro De One and Tony Gomes. They gave the participants predominantly an understanding of classic Kizomba, Semba, traditional African dances but also Fusion. Especially Cazuza and his sheer endless energy provided for exuberant mood with his Rebita (group circle dance), Afro-Tribal and Afro-House. The mix was well received by the guests and we also enjoyed that at this festival offered an alternative to the usual habit of teaching endless figures.
On the turntables, DJ Paps, DJ Ecozinho and Deejay Nino played the right music, both during the daytime after the workshops as well as at the party at night and until the early morning hours. The African flair was underlined by self-cooked African food and the sale of African clothes.
The manageable size with about 40 participants made for a very pleasant, family atmosphere. Over two days, four to five varied workshops were offered per day, creating a good mood amongst the participants. There were always opportunities to dance and practice in a relaxed atmosphere between and after the workshops, which was appreciated by the guests. The male-female ratio was better balanced then at many other festivals and the artists helped each other out in the classes, so the ladies did not have to wait too long during the classes.
Not only the mood, also the time management was quite relaxed. There were quite a few very spontaneous changes in the program and both artists and guests even found themselves in front of closed doors at times. The guests seemed to be quite relaxed about that – probably the relaxed atmosphere had rubbed off a bit. All organizers know that something unforeseen can happen anytime and it is good also for the guests not to be too annoyed about it. Nonetheless, we would recommend to the organization to pay more attention to its schedule and punctuality next year. Unnecessary waiting times make no sense and is usually not appreciated. Also, the lack of clarity about what happens next is usually not so pleasant, at least for the German mind.
The second mood killer was the location change in the middle of the night. The party started in the workshop location where the music, the dance floor and the atmosphere were good. The organizer also put on a short spontaneous musical life act with Cazuza on the Dikanza (Reco-Reco, an Angolan rhythm instrument) and Tony on the percussions. After that, unfortunately, the location had to be changed, which tore the evening apart a bit. The guests had to drive to the second party location in the city center of Augsburg, which unfortunately had neither a good dance floor nor a pleasant ambience. Once there, it took a while but the good mood recovered fortunately. The guests danced until the early morning hours and they certainly got their money's worth.
We like the idea and the philosophy of this festival and we see good potential. This event can be even better next year and still has room for more guests who want to learn and dance classic Kizomba, Semba, Tarraxinha, Fusion and traditional Afro dances. We are happy to join again.
Afromoves, Germany's first Kizomba school, has been organizing a Kizomba Festival in the greater Stuttgart area for the past seven years. In addition to their extensive Kizomba program and the usual high-quality artists and DJs, they offer now also a Salsa and Bachata dance floor.
Like every year, Kizomberas and Kizomberos can count on high quality. Laurent Yishú, Ronie Saleh, Vie & Sir J. and Juneline as well as other top artists will offer a total of 30 workshops for all levels and styles + beginner bootcamp. The popular Beginner Bootcamp is also back on the program and offers newcomers the ultimate entry into the Kizomba world. The Bootcamp is suitable for both absolute beginners and dancers with some knowledge. After completing the Bootcamp, the participants are already able to enjoy some dance on the parties and later on they can build on these skills. The Bootcamp costs 70 € and includes entrance to the parties.
A large social room is available from the afternoon and invites to relaxed dances. Selected taxi dancers provide balance and dance pleasure. Also, female taxi dancers are invited this year for the male dancers. Perfect if someone is still insecure to ask the ladies for a dance.
New this year is a Bachata dancefloor for those who are looking for a bit of variety now and then. A "Silent" Social Room is also new this year – we can be curious. There will also be a "Jack & Jill" dance competition. A contest with random dance partners that combines spontaneous, creative and musical dancing, without choreography and prior agreements. A real social dance contest. Not the most complex step combinations are scored, but the "interaction" of the dance couple with the music. Of course, there are also great prizes to win for the winners.
DJ Stefanio Lima from Rotterdam, DJ Narc6, who made a vertical start in 2017 and DJ Dameri, among others, provide the best mix of Kizomba traditional, Urban Kiz, Tarraxinha and Semba. DJ Paluxe, known from Mulini Beach in Rovinj, is invited for the first time this year.
Tickets are available via the website or via the Facebook event link. KizzMag will be there for the second time in a row and will report again.

It's official: The $30 million witch hunt by the Democrats against President Trump has turned up void, as Robert Mueller's report, which was released over the weekend, found that neither President Trump nor any of his aides in any way conspired or coordinated with the Russian government to "interfere" with the 2016 presidential election. And once again, the independent media has been shown to be the reliable and honest ones when it comes to reporting the truth, as opposed to fake news outlets like CNN and MSNBC which actively conspired to spread the "Russian collusion" conspiracy theory far and wide for more than two years without a shred of evidence to support it.
The shame and embarrassment that these propaganda disseminators should be feeling right about now is overshadowed only by their continued denial of reality, as many of the usual suspects are now doubling down on the fictitious narrative that they concocted out of thin air in response to their hero, loser Hillary Clinton, failing to become America's president not once, but twice.
All along, independent news outlets like Infowars, The Gateway Pundit, and Natural News have been reporting that the whole thing was a farce right out of the gate. We endured endless ridicule, false accusations, and harassment for this, only to be vindicated in the end, just like President Trump and his campaign now are.
With absolutely nothing to say in response to this "case closed" verdict, the mainstream media outlets that perpetuated this now-debunked Russian collusion conspiracy theory from the start, in spite of our honest reporting over the past several years, are now desperately trying to spin, deflect, or somehow pivot the narrative once again in an attempt to not look like complete idiots – but it's not exactly working.
After The New York Times (NYT) tried to run with a technicality in Mueller's report about it "stop[ping] short of exonerating" President Trump – because it's the Attorney General's job to make a judgment, not the Special Counsel's, it's important to note – the fake news outlet proceeded to spin the narrative once again, claiming that those who perpetuated this conspiracy theory can now find "closure" based on the report's findings. The Intercept's Glenn Greenwald was quick to chastise this fake news purveyor, whom he fears will get away with its attempted coup on President Trump.
Greenwald posted several other tweets lamenting the likely fact that the mainstream media will face minimal, if any, consequences for their collusion with the Leftist Democrats that concocted this whole scheme from the start – in the process raking in tens of millions of dollars in profits from the spreading of their lies.


Suzie checks her Facebook using her iPod at least 5 times a day. John sends 20 text messages a day to his friends and family. Mary posts to her YouTube channel once a week and gets 5,000 views for each video. Our kids are connected to others in ways we never thought possible ten years ago. They want to share themselves with the world and use the online tools available to them to showcase their ideas and personality, but also to hear back from people like them. However, sometimes this connectedness our children have can receive negative reactions. Cyber bullying is defined as the electronic posting of mean-spirited messages about a person, often done anonymously. It can be as simple and direct as a text message or email. As quick as a YouTube comment. Or it can have far reaching exposure, such as a Facebook post, a YouTube video, or a Twitter post which can be seen by hundreds of people. The fifth grade students at SCC learn all about cyber bullying in their guidance and library classes. Students learn what cyber bullying is, how it affects others, and what the consequences of it could be. Students discuss how they feel when they are bullied face-to-face and how they might feel if they were bullied online.
There are three easy ways that you can help your student protect themselves from being a victim of cyber bullying.
Know what your child is accessing and posting online. Ask where they are going and have them show you how a site works if you don't know.
Let your child know that if they are being cyber bullied they should tell you or someone they trust about it.
Talk to your child about how their online presence. Do they have positive things out there or are they posting negative comments and pictures? What would they like college admission officers and future employers to see?
If you would like to find out more about cyber bullying, visit the links below. If you have reason to believe your student is being cyber bullied by another student, need help, and would like to discuss the situation with one of the school counselors, please do not hesitate to call or email them.

Umbraco 7.0.1 introduced a new migration error for MySQL users.
MySQL throws error: #1093 - You can't specify target table 'cmsContentXml' for update in FROM clause. MySQL won't let you modify a table if you're doing a SELECT on it at the same time.
The query comes from Umbraco.Web\Strategies\Migrations\ClearMediaXmlCacheForDeletedItemsAfterUpgrade.cs.
I haven't tested on MSSQL, but I presume it should work there.
I tested the fix on MySQL and it works there. I don't have a MSSQL instance to test.
@Shannon: In that case, maybe the best option is to check with DBMS is in use and run whichever query is appropriate for that type? It seemed like there were limited other options for MySQL and they were all pretty kludgy.
@Shannon: Your query ran fine on MySQL.
Arghh! unfortunately that query doesn't work with sqlce! I have MySql installed now so will see what works on all of them.
of course for mysql you need to change the [path] to be path. Now to update the rest of the places this query type is used.

Well, it's hard to teach this so bear with me. Exponents are simply a shorthand way to write a number multiplied by itself a certain number of times. For example: 74 is a short way to write 7�7�7�7, or 7 multiplied by itself 4 times. The 4 is a power. You read 74 as "7 to the fourth power". In 74, the base is 7 and the exponent is 4. Is that clear enough? If not, complain, whine and do whatever and e-mail me.

Steve Bruce and Aston Villa meet on Saturday for the first time since he was sacked – and fans are calling on their former boss to be given a good reception.
Bruce was dismissed from Villa Park in October after a poor run of form brought a two-year spell in charge to an end.
After leading the club to the Championship play-off final last May, Villa won just once in Bruce's final nine games in charge, with a 3-3 draw against Preston North End proving to be the final straw.
He was appointed by Sheffield Wednesday in January, taking up the manager's job the following month after taking some time out to recuperate following a difficult year.
Bruce had two operations after leaving Villa and also had to deal with the loss of both of his parents.
And the time out has clearly worked with the 58-year-old having enjoyed a brilliant start to his reign at Hillsborough.
The Owls are undefeated in the 11 games under his stewardship, having won five and drawn six.
They sit in 11 place ahead of the weekend's clash at home to Villa, three points outside the top six and four behind Bruce's former employers.
Aiden Bradley: Turned up to work after losing both parents and guided us to the play off final. Cracking bloke. Villa just needed to move forward and Bruce's football wasn't happening at Villa. Respect to the bloke I say.
Sean Baker: Deserves a good reception.
Phil Wattison: We should give him a great reception...respect the guy.
Nick Howlett: We treated him poorly in the end.
JD Carter: Undervalued and driven out by knee jerk supporters.
Jimmy Cobra: Nothing but respect for this man. All his personal stuff was never an excuse. Love the man to bits and will always be grateful to him for steadying the ship.
Yeoh Tze Siang: Please travelling fans, don't boo him. Congratulate him, show him we have class.
Mark Buswell: Remember he signed McGinn! What a player he has turned out to be. Bruce deserves respect!
Micheal Knott: Still a good manager, respect earned for the way he conducted himself while grieving loss of family. But personally was he big enough a person to manage Villa, I don't think so. Wish him all the best (after next weekend).
Brian J Nutt: Greatest respect for this guy. As a player he was one of the best and nearly succeeded as a manager, but the world inside and outside of football went wrong for him at the same time. Good luck Brucie, you should always be welcome down Villa.
Daniel Witherstone: No hard feelings, he turned up at the play-off final...it was the players that failed to return the favour!


Cloud computing. Using applications and storage in the "cloud", instead of "on premise", is fast becoming a cost effective alternative for enterprises. In the new setting, enterprises are likely to rely on Software-as-service (SaaS) for non-core processes allowing CIOs to focus on core processes, and save significant costs in license fees, support and maintenance.
Green IT. Enterprises will invest in technologies and solutions for compliance to regulations in the Green space, to become energy efficient and reduce carbon foot prints. Incidentally, Green IT also helps enterprises lower operating costs.
Open-source software (OSS) has established its role firmly in the IT industry, even though the rate of maturity and saturation-levels vary across market segments. Thus, most mainstream IT organizations are blending the best of open-source and closed-source solutions.
Collaboration is an important aspect of an enterprise today. It reduces the human latency in business processes and improves both cost efficiency and customer experience. The underlying technology is based on unified communications which integrates all the channels of voice and non voice communication over IP.
Social computing There is an emerging demand for integrating data in enterprise IT systems with that in social networks, to improve or promote, campaign management, community driven discounting, and intercontinental connections.
Information management is an important aspect of new enterprise as it is moving from a structured data model (text heavy and relational) to unstructured data model (multi modal and search driven).
Mobility in an enterprise is very closely linked to collaboration and social computing. With the exponential rise in the types of mobile devices and their usage in enterprises, it is fast becoming a social experience challenge in a business environment.

Hundreds of artworks find new homes at Pumphouse sale
Liz and George Bouwmeester appreciate some fine art at the Pumphouse. (Evan Saunders)
Dec 8, 2021 | Wednesday
More than 250 pieces of art have found new homes thanks to the Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre's art sale.
"We've had an amazing four days because we had the members show on Dec. 1 and then on Thursday and Friday and today, it's just been crazy," Pumphouse board chair Lise Andreana said in an interview Saturday.
It was the first time the Pumphouse has held an art sale, let alone one featuring more than 300 works of art.
"We've just had an amazing crew of volunteers helping out," Andreana said.
The 300 works were donated by artists and from people's private collections.
Andreana said this means the Pumphouse will have to skip the sale next year and just focus on its Treasure Sale.
"I suspect we'll do it every second year. The donors need time to accumulate some inventory," she said with a laugh.
"We have artists that are hoping (the Treasure Sale) comes back and our patrons like it too."
Some of Andreana's art was on display as well.
"This is the foil so people buy other stuff," Andreana joked about her own work.
The art sale coincided with the Rotary Club's Holiday House Tour this year.
People "are used to coming here this weekend because of the house tour," said Judy Thornton, who volunteers with the Pumphouse.
Thornton said people had been showing up at the Pumphouse all day Friday and Saturday because of the house tour only to be greeted with the pleasant surprise of an art sale.
One couple who had no idea the art sale was going on until they showed up for the house tour was Liz and George Bouwmeester from Hamilton.
"It was perfect because we love art," Liz said.
George said the couple had come down to NOTL on Friday and were just wrapping up a lovely weekend in town by visiting the Pumphouse.
Architect Paul Gordon was perusing the artwork on Saturday and said he feels like he has a kinship with visual artists through his line of work.
"I love art and I'm in the art line myself. I'm not an artist, I'm an architect, so I appreciate things like this," Gordon said as he looked at a Raymond Martin painting.
"I saw the ad in The Lake Report and I always come down here when there's a new exhibit," Gordon said.
The featured artist for the sale was Martin, a Toronto-born painter who lived many years in the Niagara region.
Martin died in 2015 and used to teach at the Pumphouse, artist Gail Kerr said in an interview.
Martin drew inspiration from his favourite artists, the Group of Seven. His style does not emulate them but rather his choice of subjects, his website biography says.

Q: Explain this jQuery effect Please can some explain what is happening in this code?
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        var $scrollingDiv = $(".floatdetails");
        $(window).scroll(function () {
            var y = $(window).scrollTop(),
            maxY = $('#foot').offset().top,
            scrollHeight = $scrollingDiv.height()
            if (y < maxY - scrollHeight - 375) {
                $scrollingDiv.stop().animate({
                    "marginTop": ($(window).scrollTop()) + "px"
                }, 2000);
            }
        });
    });
</script>

What I need to do is to not let margin-top be less than 0. You can see here why I need that. And also not let .floatdetails to cross the footer.
And obviously you can guess that I am a jQuery beginner. So, any help would be appreciated.

A: See the explanation in comment
//Function will be triggered on scrolling
$(window).scroll(function() {
    //How much height is scrolled is assigned to y;
    var y = $(window).scrollTop(),
            //top position of the $('#foot') is assigned to maxY
            maxY = $('#foot').offset().top,
            //height of $(".floatdetails") is assigned to scrollHeight
            scrollHeight = $scrollingDiv.height()
    if (y < maxY - scrollHeight - 375) {
        //Base od the condition $(".floatdetails") is animated
        $scrollingDiv
                .stop()
                .animate({
            "marginTop": ($(window).scrollTop()) + "px"
        }, 2000);
    }
});

Q: How to Access Request Body in Armeria Client Decorator I need to intercept and sign my client requests in Armeria using AWS v4 signature. That signing procedure needs access to the body of the request, but it seems like I can't access request body in the client decorator. Something like
wcb.decorator((delegate, ctx, req) -> {
                 // constructAWS4SignHeader needs the body of req.
                 String auth = constructAWS4SignHeader(req);
                 HttpRequest newReq = req.withHeaders(req.headers().toBuilder().set(AUTHORIZATION, auth));
                 ctx.updateRequest(newReq);
                 return delegate.execute(ctx, req);
            });

Any solution comes to mind?

A: in the current version which is Armeria 1.19.0, I guess we can do:
wcb.decorator((delegate, ctx, req) -> {
    final CompletableFuture<HttpResponse> future = new CompletableFuture<>();
    req.aggregate().handle((aggregatedReq, cause) -> {
        try {
            // constructAWS4SignHeader needs the body of req.
            String auth = constructAWS4SignHeader(aggregatedReq);
            final RequestHeaders newHeaders = req.headers()
                                                 .toBuilder()
                                                 .set(AUTHORIZATION, auth)
                                                 .build();
            final HttpRequest newReq = HttpRequest.of(newHeaders, aggregatedReq.content(),
                                                      aggregatedReq.trailers());
            ctx.updateRequest(newReq);
            future.complete(delegate.execute(ctx, newReq));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            future.completeExceptionally(e);
        }
        return null;
    });
    return HttpResponse.from(future);
})

This morning embattled Hot 97 DJ Mister Cee sat down with program director Ebro Darden to discuss his latest run in with transvestite prostitutes and to withdraw his resignation. Yesterday Mister Cee resigned from the station after transvestite prostitute/blogger Bimbo Winehouse posted audio from an alleged sexual encounter between them.
Cee also withdrew his resignation at Ebro's request.


Established 1975. Bespoke: Joinery, Shopfitting, Exhibition, Kitchens, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Studies and Furniture. Property renovation, refurbishment and maintenance. Projects undertaken nationwide.
I am apprenticeship served, City and Guilds qualified and have a wealth of experience gained from over forty years of working in the various fields of woodwork, this is supported by my extensive portfolio. Woodwork By David J Law undertakes bespoke woodwork projects in the fields of: Joinery, Shopfitting, Exhibition, Kitchens, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Studies and Furniture. I also undertake property renovation, refurbishment and maintenance. From my fully equipped Dudley based joinery/workshop I manufacture and install projects nationwide. Over the years I have undertaken projects in most English counties, Wales ,France and Spain. And amongst my clientele have been personalities from the world of music, film, television and sport, plus aristocracy, foreign royals and diplomats. Approximately ninety-five per cent of my work is bespoke and because I make everything myself (with the exception of wood turnings and some ready made mouldings) it is only pictures of these projects that you will see displayed on my sites. But very occasionally I will undertake projects supplying and fitting quality ready made kitchens, bedrooms and joinery products. I have good regional knowledge from working nationwide and from having had previous workshops based in London x2, Sheffield and Wolverhampton. I am always happy to give advice and offer a warm friendly service, enhanced by my unblemished reputation for quality, reliability, trust and value. I also offer free no obligation visits to meet potential clients to discuss their requirements and ideas, but if preferred this can also be done via email if sufficient information is provided. Workshop visits are welcomed but by appointment only as opening hours are subject to change during installations. I am also a member of the Woodland Trust, this is my small way of giving something back by helping to fund the sustainability and future of our woods and forests. For a more comprehensive insight and further information please view my website.
I had my floor completely refitted by David, he was reliable, tidy and reasonably priced. I also had my banister replaced by him. His work is excellent and I cannot fault him. He is extremely trustworthy, I had to leave him my key as I work, and everything was left tidy when I returned home. I would not hesitate to recommend him and would say he offers a 5 star service.
David has fitted two sets of cupboards in our house in Kew. The work is of extremely high standard, professional and perfect for our requirements. David is also a very pleasant guy to deal with.

America's newest aircraft carrier only has 4 of its 11 elevators working, but at least it can do these high-speed turns
The Navy's beleaguered USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier may not have working weapons elevators, but it's certainly got some moves
By Jared Keller | Published Oct 31, 2019 7:40 PM
The Navy's beleaguered USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier may not have working weapons elevators, but it's certainly got some moves.
The $13 billion supercarrier on Wednesday returned to Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia after several days of sea trials, a major step for a much-hyped carrier that just spent 15 months undergoing post-shakedown repairs to correct a slew of ongoing technical problems.
But just because only four of the Ford's 11 critical weapons elevators doesn't mean you can't still have fun. According to a fresh batch of photos uploaded to the Defense Visual Imagery Distribution System on Tuesday, the Ford's sea trials included a raucous round of high-speed turns.
In January, Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer promised President Donald Trump that the Ford's weapons elevators would be fully installed and operational by the time the carrier returned to the open ocean for fresh trials. No word yet on how that's going.

The parasite is suspected to be endemic in Lao PDR as a result of widespread risk factors including open human defecation, free ranging pigs and weak systems for meat inspection and carcass condemnation. Reported prevalences of human taeniasis throughout the country have ranged from 0-14%, although few of these have definitively diagnosed T. solium, grossly indistinguishable from Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm) and Taenia asiatica. This short communication details the suspicion of a hyper endemic "hotspot" of T. solium in a remote Tai Dam village in northern Lao PDR. FINDINGS: Initial antibody serosurveillance of four provinces in Lao PDR in 2011 indicated human taeniasis and cysticercosis prevalences of 46.7% and 66.7% respectively, in the village of Om Phalong in the north of the country. Subsequent copro-antigen ELISA on 92 human faecal samples from this same village, representing a total 27.9% of the target community, indicated a taeniasis prevalence of 26.1% (95% CI?=?18.2-35.9). Subsequent PCR and sequencing of samples (n?=?5) all identified as T. solium; the other human tapeworms T. saginata and T. asiatica were not detected in any of the samples genotyped. CONCLUSION: This is potentially one of the highest documented prevalences of T. solium taeniasis to date in Lao PDR, if not the Southeast Asia region. This result raises suspicion that other "hotspots" of T. solium hyper endemicity may exist in the region, particularly in communities where the consumption of raw pork is commonplace as a result of cultural practices.

Jay Feaster doesn't seem to be too taken in by hockey's annual rituals and television events.
When the trade deadline came around during the 2010-11 season and the then-interim Calgary Flames general manager made a swap, it was a depth trade of a late round draft pick for veteran forward Freddie Modin. When free agency began last summer, the Flames let July 1 come and go without making any major moves. Trade deadline 2012? Another non-event in Calgary.
So it's probably not that surprising that Jay Feaster got most of his shopping done before the madness began on Sunday afternoon.
On Wednesday, Calgary acquired Washington's Dennis Wideman and signed him to a five-year deal. The Flames also re-signed pending free agent Blake Comeau to a two-year pact. On Friday, the Flames quietly agreed to terms with pending free agents Lee Stempniak and Cory Sarich and restricted free agent Blair Jones. Wideman's deal was a bit on the pricey side (with a $5.25 million cap hit), but it's likely that Stempniak ($2.5 million) and Sarich ($2 million) left money on the table in agreeing to remain in Calgary and foregoing the open market. Jones signed for a paltry $650,000 per season, while Comeau will make $1.25 million, half of his 2011-12 salary.
Feaster's quiet splurge has put the Flames in an interesting spot. They have 46 NHL contracts for the 2012-13 season (including restricted free agents Leland Irving, Paul Byron, Akim Aliu and Mikael Backlund) and $61.9 million of a projected $70.2 million salary cap already spent. That accounts for 28 forwards, 14 defenseman and 4 goalies under contract, not to mention forcing Feaster to juggle 20 one-way deals (9 forwards, 9 defensemen, 2 goalies) and 10 contracts with no-movement or no-trade clauses.
In short: at this juncture, Feaster's gambling on the market. With so many bodies from last season being re-signed, and seemingly only KHL import Roman Cervenka and Swiss rookie Sven Baertschi penciled into open night spots, the only way the 2012-13 Calgary Flames will be significantly different from the previous season is if other NHL general managers decide (like Feaster already has) that the free agent market isn't the best way to upgrade their clubs and come a-calling.
The open question, as of now, is what assets would Feaster be willing to part with in an effort to move his team forward?

Henry "Henny" Wohltjen II
Henry 'Henny' Wohltjen II, 95 Navy veteran, retired from FDNY; standout athlete in his youth Henry "Henny" Wohltjen II entered eternal rest surrounded by his children on Friday, Sept. 27, 2019. Born on January 16, 1924, to Henry and Agnes Wohltjen, Henny grew up in Eltingville, S.I. He attended Tottenville High School, where he was a standout baseball and basketball player. He went on to play professional baseball with a farm team of the New York Giants until World War II. During the war Henny joined the Navy, where he served honorably as a motor-mate on an LCT in the Pacific theatre. On Sept. 24, 1949, Henny married Elizabeth "Betty" Bronner, and raised eight children in Great Kills, S.I. Henny worked for the NYC Fire Department for 32 years until his retirement from Ladder Co. 76 in 1985. He later moved to Inverness, Fla., and then to Bowling Green, Ky., where he was a member of Holy Spirit Parish. Henny is survived by his sister, Evelyn Moe of Kingston, N.Y.; and eight children, Hank Wohltjen (Sharon Mutter) of Bowling Green, Ky., Rhea Fluhr (Phil) of Matawan, N.J., Constance Polizzano (Charley) of Cheshire, Conn., Elizabeth Zarrella (Bill) of Barnegat, N.J., James Wohltjen (JoAnn) of Ocala, Fla., Agnes Pesile (Kenneth) of Leonardo, N.J., Margaret Ryan (Michael Quagliano) of Manchester, N.J., and Thomas Wohltjen (Diane) of Great Kills, Staten Island. He is also survived by 21 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. He always took joy in family visits, eating desserts and rooting for the New York Mets and Houston Astros. A memorial service is being planned for a future date.

Old-school coffee roasters have an obsession with their product. This is a good thing: whether it involves the selection of the green, the blending of the beans or coaxing out the finest flavour development in the roasting process – the final proof has always been the taste in the cup.
Stuart Daw, founder of Heritage Coffee (and many other notable coffee companies) as well as mentor to many in the industry, was perhaps the most eminent sage to fit this description. His skills through the continuum of green to cup are unparalleled with the exception of Kevin Daw, his son, who carries on the tradition of fanatical attention to consistent quality. In the genesis of coffee through both food service and OCS, the focus was always thus, and while cup quality is still the pinnacle goal, it requires and deserves supporting actors on its way to the awards.
Without intentional hyperbole, coffee is a sensual luxury. It appeals to all our senses on a fundamental level: the sound of coffee grinding, the aroma that fills the air of freshly ground or freshly brewed coffee, the heat of the cup as it warms your hands and your lips, and of course, the wonderful flavour that fills your mouth at the first and last sip.
But what of sight? In a world that has a proliferation of both cameras and screens, the sense of sight has become our predominant focus.
To the coffee purist, the purpose of packaging is and was a continuation of the primary goal of cup excellence. Its practical function was to preserve the freshness of the product just before it was brewed – full stop. So little attention was paid to the visual senses that coffee, to this day, is often packed in neutral gold or silver webbing, especially when packed for the food-service trade. Many of us remember learning in primary school that there are five senses. The truth is slightly different in that there are many more we all experience. And beyond others, such as a sense of balance or a sense of inertia, is perhaps the most human of them all: a sense of imagination. It is our imagination that is the catalyst for all progress as it allows us to dream beyond what we see of the nominal world limited by the original five. We do this because, as a species, we are drawn to narratives. A good story resonates with the listener not just on an intellectual basis but also on an emotional one. Evangelists, revolutionaries and Dale Carnegie will all tell you that to compel someone to action requires more than an appeal to reason, it demands an emotional connection: the creation of desire.
Steve Jobs famously said, "Packaging can be theatre, it can create a story." Using the canvas that is our packaging medium gives us an opportunity to connect with our customers on this level. Even if it is a one-act play, we can create theatre that honestly tells a story about the coffee, the company or – perhaps most intimate of all – the people behind the product. Connecting with your customers about what you stand for and believe, telling the story of why the coffee is so good, and explaining how you fit into the larger scheme of the world are all legitimate touchpoints. The science of emotion and of what triggers different responses in our psyche transcends the esthetic. Beautiful packaging is but a part of the equation and to convey the full meaning of the message requires a carefully crafted blend of image, colour and copy.
I have heard it said (and perhaps am guilty of saying) that there is a legitimate reason for proper care to be taken when designing OCS packaging, but not so for food service. There may be a kernel of truth to this, but consider the following: in any food-service coffee interaction, there is typically an employee who deals with the direct consumer. In this instance the subtle, non-verbal cues given during this interaction flow from provider to customer. Employees are also coffee drinkers and if they have connected positively with the product on more levels than the paying customer can, this will translate favourably when the coffee is served.
The look and feel of your packaging is a calling card to your clients. The message we choose to convey should be carefully constructed to achieve what you would tell them if you were there in person to express it yourself.
Who Should We Thank for our Coffee?
