Cargo containers are the metal boxes, often referred to as Twenty-foot Equivalent Units or TEUs, that store various kinds of products which must be shipped from one region of the world to another. A process called containerization. These shipping containers form the most integral part of the entire shipping industry, global trade, and international transport. Approximately one half of all containers are owned by shipping lines, the remaining fifty percent are leased, an agreement which typically lasts from one to more than 10 years.
The global container shipping market is set to experience favorable growth in the coming years, driven by factors such as increasing maritime trade, growing containerization in developing regions, lower oil prices, and an upsurge in disposable income. Furthermore, the scope of growth for this market will be broadened by an increasing demand for shipping services, as well as acceleration of worldwide economic growth.
The major trends that can be observed in the container shipping market include: innovation advancements in container shipping, increasing consolidation of industry leaders, increasing fleet management techniques, and growing intermodal freight transportation. On the other hand, the favorable growth of this budding industry is being constrained by challenges such as product miniaturization, environmental regulations, emergence of 3D printing technology, and rising trade protectionism.

International Day of the Girl Partnership Aims to Empower 10 Million Students and Teachers
Nov 04, 51746
Today marks the eight annual International Day of the Girl, a day established by the United Nations to amplify girls' voices and stand up for their rights as envisioned in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the most progressive blueprint ever for advancing women's rights.
The Platform for Action, which will mark 25 years next year, envisioned gender equality in all dimensions of life, something that no country has yet achieved, according to the U.N.. Nowhere is this truer, say women's rights advocates, than in education.
According to New York-based Women Deliver, only 45 percent of developing countries have achieved gender parity at the lower secondary education level (seventh through ninth grades) and only 25 percent have done so at the upper secondary level (10th through 12th grades). This adds up to more than 130 million girls around the world who lack access to education.
To mark today's International Day of the Girl, HP and the nonprofit Girl Rising—best known for its award-winning documentary of the same name—announced a new initiative leveraging the tech giant's technology solutions for schools and Girl Rising's youth empowerment curriculum.
The initiative seeks to reach up to 10 million students and teachers in the United States, India and Nigeria, helping to raise awareness of the value of investing in girls and helping HP meet its goal of enabling better learning outcomes for 100 million people by 2025.
"HP believes that education is a fundamental human right that creates pathways to new opportunities," said Michele Malejki, global head of HP's social impact programs. "Data also show that education is one of the single most effective ways to eradicate poverty and a critical building block for nations' economic growth and development."
New digital resources for teachers and students
The new initiative will add Girl Rising's teacher training modules to HP's Education Edition PCs. Targeted toward primary and secondary schools, HP will also deploy a suite of curricula and a library of content to accompany the HP School Pack, a suite of software pre-loaded onto HP's EHP Education Edition PC.
In addition, with the goal to develop the next generation of female leaders, the HP Learning Initiative for Entrepreneurship (HP LIFE), a free e-learning program from the HP Foundation created to support entrepreneurship and skills development, will provide additional curriculum in the three markets. HP School Packs, a suite of software for educators, will also be available for the duration of the program.
HP says it will evaluate additional opportunities for Girl Rising content and curricula distribution, including new products and services, as well as additional partners to scale the program over the next three years.
Today's announcement continues HP's work with Girl Rising, which began in 2015 with the launch of the Hindi-language version of Girl Rising in India. In 2018, the organizations created the Girl Rising Creative Challenge, which celebrated everyday gender equality champions around the world. And earlier this year, HP supported the production and distribution of the nonprofit's latest documentary, Brave Girl Rising.
Girl Rising, which currently has programs in 11 countries, uses storytelling in its original media and creative campaigns to explore intimate real-life issues facing girls, such as forced marriage, forced labor and gender-based violence, as well as the universal benefits of educating girls. They then work with local partners to reach youth and their communities through customized curriculum.
"We embed the stories in the curriculum to spark dialogue among girls about their rights, to build their skills and confidence, to address powerful social norms that hold girls back, and—critically—to build empathy and awareness among boys and parents to ensure a different future for girls," said Christina Lowery, CEO of Girl Rising, on the eve of International Day of the Girl in New York.
Next up for Girl Rising are films supported by educational campaigns on how sports can change a girl's live, and the link between girl's education and climate change.
Investment also builds skilled workforce for tomorrow
In addition to Girl Rising, HP recently announced an agreement with U.N. Women at last month's U.N. General Assembly to advance education, entrepreneurship and digital learning for women and girls in Senegal, South Africa, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Morocco. The agreement centers on two U.N. Women initiatives, Second Chance Education and African Girls Can Code.
For HP's Malejki, the partnerships with both Girl Rising and U.N. Women just make sense. "Technology can be a great equalizer for underserved and marginalized groups," she says. "They help bridge the digital divide and connect people and communities to greater opportunity."
Partnerships such as these also help HP invest in tomorrow's workforce as the company expands globally. In a 2018 global report on talent shortages by ManpowerGroup, 45 percent of employers find it difficult to recruit employees with the necessary skills.
Investing in girls' education yields huge returns
It turns out that investing in education for girls is one of the best investments a company, donor or country can make.
"Giving girls access to education and opportunity is the most effective factor in transforming pressing global issues including health, poverty and climate change," she says.
And the data back her up. According to the U.N.'s Girls' Education Initiative, every additional year of secondary schooling for a girl increases her future earnings by 10 to 20 percent. The World Bank reports that, compared to women with no education, women with secondary education earn almost twice as much and those with tertiary education almost three times as much. Women who are better educated also have fewer unplanned children, are less likely to marry early, and are more likely to drive national economic growth.
Perhaps no one says it better than philanthropist Melinda Gates, no stranger herself to the world of high-tech and global development, in her recent book The Moment of Lift: "If you want to lift up humanity, empower women. It is the most comprehensive, pervasive, high-leverage investment you can make in human beings."

I have started to consolidate my creative outputs here. For some people being creative is painting, or creating a wonderful garden or tatting….for me I enjoy photography, whittling and writing, though I find the latter quite hard work!
For me, photography is a recurring passion. I started on my photographic journey in my early 20s, capturing the scenes of the Brindabella Mountains to the west of Canberra, Australia. Those days of photography as a hobby were of close-up and some moderate landscape work. I enjoyed the simple pleasure of capturing images on film using a simple (by today's standards) SLR camera.
Knowing how to use a camera, to pose a scene and make an image interesting proved useful during the time when I was writing freelance articles for various national magazines. The editors wanted the complete package of words and images, and each was valueless without the other. These were the glory times of using Kodachrome 64 slide film, of simple f-stop, focus, fill flash and of course great composition, even if at times the compositions needed to be hastily assessed due to the nature of the shot. It was not a time of taking hundreds of shots and hoping to fluke a result like in today's digital world. In the world of freelance, every dollar counted and every shot needed to count. In those days, at least two great shots from a roll of 36 exposures was considered the minimum.
Later, as editor/journalist/photographer of a small newspaper, I added the skills of chemicals and BW film development, of adjusting exposure and dodging in the darkroom. It was an interesting mix of extending creativeness and fixing mistakes, including times when I did not ask people remove hats in bright sun (or instead using the flash) and getting European and aboriginal skin tones equally well represented in the one photo.
Skip forward 25 years, the film cameras are now dinosaurs in the new world of digital photography. For me a borrowed digital compact camera that took extraordinary close up shots re-introduced me to the my 'mistress' of photography. Like a relationship reborn, there are the explorations and re-introductions to be made to bring the relationship up-to-date. The journey has seen upgrades of equipment and for me the expansion of the range of genres, though to-date I am still relishing the small landscapes of close-up within wider landscapes. There is so much to be seen, if we just pause maybe even bend down….and look.
I hope you will enjoy my work and understand that often I don't see the typical, but do try to see the unique, and that just possibly, one or two of my images will find a place in your home or office.
I began writing articles for fishing magazines in the 1980s and again for a time in the early 1990s when I also wrote for 4WD and caravan magazines plus even one article for Australian Penthouse (don't worry, it was only a travel piece!) Those later articles helped pay uni costs plus earn marks for my journalism degree.
2014 saw my enjoyment of writing resurface. Now have turned my hand to fiction; both straight fiction and sometimes fictionalisations of events that I have experienced. Please see the writing category link at the top of this page.
I started whittling in 1988 on the final leg of a trip around Australia. I started with a simple fish, created while sitting around a campfire just south of Cooktown in far north Queensland. I smoothed it with pummicestone that for some reason seemed common on the high tide line despite no volcanoes existing for many hundreds of miles. Marine creatures have been the most attractive to me, perhaps because of their simplicity and smooth lines. I find whittling cathartic; like those who knit, an activity that occupies part of the brain while allowing the rest to either rest or do something else.
In 2016 I discovered the joy of greenwood carving, specifically spoons. This created a new and absorbing use of wood.

What a beautiful website. In the space of a few minutes – I have been coaxed into closely looking at three small orange stones among other equally peaceful and delicate photography, a mighty whale all of 13cm long brought into being after a wall in the park and I cannot imagine how much time meditatively working the wood – and the writing is really intriguing, I like the idea of fictionalising lived experience, it seems to me quite the appropriate thing to do as life can be much better than a book sometimes – walking a tightrope in full suit of armour in Sydney heat captured so well! – the writing itself walking the tightrope of 'how ridiculous' and 'believable truth'.
Thanks Matt, I had a great time looking at your site.

The Strategic Review identified four broad areas as offering opportunities for improvement. These were: building key strengths to better support our ministers; enhancing our engagement skills; greater innovation and use of information technology tools; and allocating resources and managing priorities. The department is implementing the review's recommendations.
In 2012-13, the Inclusive Workplace Committee (IWC) oversaw the design of a People Development System (PDS). The PDS is aimed at providing a more cohesive and holistic system to allow staff to develop their potential. The PDS brings together a number of existing processes and combines them with new elements to improve Treasury's people practices and processes. The PDS was agreed to by the IWC in June 2013 following staff consultations and will start to be implemented in 2013-14.
The audit committee met seven times during 2012-13. As at 30 June 2013, the audit committee comprised an independent external Chair, an external member and a number of internal members. External observers at audit committee meetings included representatives from the ANAO and KPMG.
The People Committee is a strategic reference and decision-making group with responsibility for ensuring that the Treasury maintains its capability to provide sound and timely advice to government through a high-performing and flexible workforce.
Remuneration committees are established within the executive and the five groups in the Treasury to recommend to the Secretary the determination of salary rates beyond that available through the Performance Management System for eligible APS6, EL1 and EL2 employees.
The Inclusive Workplace Committee (IWC) was formed in early 2012 and has responsibility for guiding and monitoring the development and implementation of the Progressing Women program of work. The IWC comprises all members of the Executive Board, five additional internal members and two external members, and meets quarterly.
The Information Management and Technology Committee (IMTC) meets bi-monthly and was established in late 2011 to provide a formal mechanism for business engagement and feedback into strategic direction for information management and technology. The IMTC replaced the IT Projects Committee which provided advice on and governed the delivery of ICT-enabled projects.
The IMTC is chaired by the Group General Manager, Corporate Strategy and Services Group and comprises the Chief Information Officer, the Chief Finance Officer and a general manager or SES representative from each policy group.
The Security Committee of Treasury provides independent assurance and assistance to the Secretary and the Executive Board in relation to the department's security risk, control and compliance framework and its external accountability responsibilities.
The committee comprises the chair, the Group General Manager, Corporate Strategy and Services, the General Managers, Financial and Facilities Management Division and Information Management and Technology Services Division and SES representatives from the intelligence, defence and budget related policy areas. The Committee convenes on a bi-annual basis.
Safety Committee — established in accordance with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 — facilitates cooperation between Treasury management and its workers. The committee meets every three months and comprises of worker and management representatives. The committee provides a mechanism to develop and monitor health, safety and wellbeing programs and resolve any emerging issues.
ensure that risk registers remain useful and practical tools for analysing risk.
The Treasury's risk management framework is reviewed annually. The key changes made in the 2012-13 review were the addition of six work health and safety risks, greater emphasis on accountability for implementing risk treatment plans and a statement about the underlying philosophy of risk management for the Treasury (the 'three lines of defence').
The Treasury Fraud Control Plan accords with the Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines and the Australian National Audit Office Better Practice Guide on Fraud Control in Australian Government Entities.
The Fraud Control Plan is to be reviewed again in 2014.
nderstanding the APS Financial Management Framework.
An increase in ranking based on longer-term performance can lead to an increase in base salary (see Table 5 on page 109). Additional information on remuneration is set out in Note 12: Senior Executive Remuneration in the financial statements on pages 179-183.

Q: React-router not loading css for nested pages on refresh I'm trying to setup a react-router for my first React webapp, it seems to be working except that the css doesn't load for my nested pages when I refresh the pages.
However it works for just one level e.g /dashboard but the css won't load for /components/timer
Here is what my index.jsx file looks like
import './assets/plugins/morris/morris.css';
import './assets/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import './assets/css/core.css';
import './assets/css/components.css';
import './assets/css/icons.css';
import './assets/css/pages.css';
import './assets/css/menu.css';
import './assets/css/responsive.css';

render(
  <Router history={browserHistory}>
    <Route path="/" component={Dashboard}/>
    <Route path="/components/:name" component={WidgetComponent}/>
    <Route path="*" component={Dashboard}/>
  </Router>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

Any idea why?

A: I had this problem too, where my app wasn't loading style sheets and the like. However, I was importing my assets directly into my index.html entry point.
By replacing the links with absolute paths as per this documentation, my problem was resolved.
For me, this meant changing

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css" ></link>

to this:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" ></link>

I'm not sure if the same thing would work for your import statements, but it is worth a shot.
FYI I'm using the project layout from create-react-app.

A: The simplest solution is here (Need to change index.html only)
Just use %PUBLIC_URL% before every CSS or JS file.
You can check an example of %PUBLIC_URL% in index.html file if you created react app through create-react-app.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico">

One thing is must: your CSS files and js files should be under a public directory.

A: If you are using create-react-app workflow, put the assets under public folder and use the special variable  PUBLIC_URL.
Inside index.html use %PUBLIC_URL%:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico">
Inside JS/JSX files use process.env.PUBLIC_URL:
render() {
  // Note: this is an escape hatch and should be used sparingly!
  // Normally we recommend using import for getting asset URLs
  // as described in "Adding Images and Fonts" above this section.
  return ;
}
Recommended Approach:
 import stylesheets, images, and fonts from JavaScript by placing it along with src files.
import React from 'react';
import logo from './logo.png'; // Tell Webpack this JS file uses this image

console.log(logo); // /logo.84287d09.png

function Header() {
   // Import result is the URL of your image
   return ;
}

export default Header;

Adding assets to public folder
When to use public folder

A: Found it!
Add the HTML Element:
<base href="/" />

to your index page to set a base case for your URL so all else will follow suite.

A: I added
<base href="/" />

to my index.html head
And it is resolved.

A: I know its a bit old thread, but ill share my solution here. Its a solution for setup that uses webpack instead create-react-app.
I found every other solution suggests to change the <link path in the html file. But like in my case webpack handles the asset linking.
I faced the same problem today. Routes like /some_route works but - /some_route/second_level it doesn't, leaving behind a message in console stating -
Refused to apply style from 'http://localhost:8080/some_route/some_style.css'.
I fixed this problem by updating my webpack.config.js file
output: {
    filename: 'build.js',
    path: path.join(__dirname, '/dist'),
    publicPath: '/',         ////// <-- By adding this line
}

Hope it helps someone. Thanks!

A: Your script is not loading your css due to the 404 errors. Your webserver is not redirecting all /components/* request to index file and then routing to your view via react.
But now, specifically about fixing your css issues... In the past, I've struggled with the css imports in jsx files, so you are not alone :) Instead, I've chosen to use SASS or LESS to compile my css to a bundle.css file with grunt or gulp. Then load that bundle.css directly on my index.html file. One neat trick about using css compilers is every time you change a .scss or .less file, your bundle.css will get updated.
Hope I pointed you in the right direction.
Cheers,

A: I know this is weird , but if you use history@5.0.0 ,delete it and install history@4.10.1
react-router have many incompatibilities with history version 5 .
for me it's worked.

EOL KVM Products
End-of-Life and End-of-Support Information
We are dedicated to the creation and delivery of high-quality products. To ensure continued innovation, we may periodically elect to discontinue specific Raritan KVM or Serial products. Once Raritan announces that a specific KVM or Serial product is—or has been—discontinued, its End-of-Life (EOL) begins. The EOL process consists of a series of technical and business milestones that, once completed, make the affected product obsolete. Once obsolete, the affected product is no longer manufactured, improved, repaired, maintained, or updated, and because of this, we recommend a transition to an alternative or comparable Raritan product offering.

I am proud to say this is my eight JavaOne as an attendee, my sixth one as a speaker, my third one as an Oracle employee, my second one as a member of the content committee and my first one as a track lead. I think this was a particularly good year for JavaOne in many ways and it's certainly been a privilege to try to do justice to the crucial role of Java EE track lead. In this hopefully relatively brief post I'll share my thoughts, observations and experiences at JavaOne 2014. The astute among you may have noticed that this post is belated. It's a reflection of the fact that's it's been a very hectic few months in terms of US and International conferences and in fact it'll be the very worthy first of a handful of belated trip reports now that the seemingly unofficial Java conference season towards the year's end is over.
There's very little doubt JavaOne is the largest and most important Java conference in the world. In fact it is critical to continuing to strengthen and growing the Java ecosystem itself. Having taken part in organizing a few other fairly large conferences and attending/speaking at numerous others, the JavaOne content is definitely of outstanding quality even as compared with many other conferences of similar magnitude. It's clear the best and the brightest in the Java ecosystem still see participating in JavaOne as a badge of honor. In terms of quantity, JavaOne beyond any doubt has the largest concentration of Java content anywhere. That all being said there's no denying the fact that JavaOne today is a relative shadow of what it used to be in the early days of Java. Perhaps to some degree that's alright. After all Java is not a spring chicken debutante any more and Java is probably the most widely covered topic at events worldwide today. Nonetheless JavaOne is the single most prestigious gathering of the minds with a sole focus on all things Java. Keeping that fact in mind we must do everything that we reasonably can to keep it the magnate event for Java developers everywhere. As they say, it is far more difficult to stay on top than to get there. To that end we did a few things differently this year that seems to have paid off.
There were a number of important encouraging signs from the very beginning for JavaOne 2014. We had the highest number of JavaOne CFP submissions in the recent few years. In fact the CFP process was so effective that unlike many previous years there wasn't a need to extend the CFP deadline. As a net result we at least maintained or improved upon both the quality and quantity of content. The event was highly professionally run as it always has been in terms of venue, scheduling and organization. Most encouragingly we grew the attendance numbers at a more rapid pace than we have in the past few years while still growing or maintaining a community feel. These are trajectories we should try and maintain in the coming years to keep JavaOne what it should really be.
We started the CFP process earlier, provided as much details as possible and kept the community in the loop with periodic updates. For the Java EE track, we did this via the Aquarium blog as well as the official JavaOne blog.
JavaOne like many larger conferences has traditionally taken a very egalitarian (perhaps too egalitarian) approach to speakers. The reality as we all know though is that not all speakers are created equal. There are some speakers out there that deserve recognition by way of an individual invitation to speak at the conference on a topic of their choice. For the Java EE track we had a small number of these well-deserved speakers that bypassed the official CFP process altogether: Adam Bien, David Blevins, Patrycja Wegrzynowicz, Arun Gupta and Anatole Tresch. Besides these Java EE rock stars we also reached out to a much larger group of people and cordially invited them to join the CFP (you know who you are). We announced these rock stars and their talks as soon as we could.
We required a video of either the submitted session or a brief overview of the session as part of the talk proposal. The goal of this was in fact to level the playing field for new or inexperienced speakers.
The quality of the program committees is a crucial part of the overall quality of JavaOne that needs to improve far more. Ideally we should be aiming to minimize folks from vendors (Oracle included specially) and folks that are more "honorary" than "participatory" in favor of folks genuinely passionate about actively contributing to the Java EE track in the community - including folks that help put together other successful conferences. We made some gradual efforts towards this goal this year.
In the same vein we did our best to trim down speakers and content from Oracle and other vendors in favor of folks from the community. This balance is crucial in keeping JavaOne the conference for the Java community and not a vendor sales conference.
As soon as we could we recorded and promoted video interviews with key JavaOne speakers about their sessions via The Aquarium and the JavaOne blog. We tried to do as many interviews as we could right up until the beginning of the conference. The folks we had time to highlight this year: Arun Gupta, Adam Bien, David Blevins, Ed Burns, Antoine Sabot-Durand, Kito Mann and Greg Wilkins.

Besides presenting my own sessions (detailed below) I tried to audit as many sessions as I could (all content committee members are really supposed to do that but sadly few actually do). Everything I saw was good in the Java EE track and I scouted a few very good folks I have made a point to follow up with (you know who you are).
Keynote Demo: This year I helped put together the keynote demo. The demo consisted of an end-to-end Java story for vehicle telemetry. At the lowest level, Java Embedded was used to collect vehicle sensor data such as speed, acceleration, geo-location, odometer reading, engine temperature and the like. Some of this data was incorporated into a pretty slick vehicle on-board dashboard interface using Java FX. All of the sensor data got forwarded real time to a centralized IoT (Internet of Things) gateway. The idea of the IoT gateway is that any third party could securely connect to the gateway to subscribe to collated vehicle sensor data instead of connecting directly to a vehicle. Once a third party endpoint is registered for subscription, sensor data is forwarded to the endpoint via REST calls. Third parties could be auto makers, insurers, service shops and so on. For the demo we created a third party back-end system that put the sensor data on a cool real time line graph on an HTML 5 page. The back-end would also issue warnings to the HTML 5 interface as well as issue an SMS message to any registered users when significant events are detected such as an engine or mechanical problem (for example an imminent required tire or oil change).
In the first session, John Clingan presented the GlassFish road map and we had the annual Oracle GlassFish executive panel. John talked about Java EE 7, GlassFish 4.1, Java EE 8 and GlassFish 5. The panel this year consisted of John, Mike Lehmann and Cameron Purdy. I asked a few set questions to the panel and then opened the panel up to community Q & A. If you haven't yet attended the GlassFish Sunday event, the panel is basically our annual town hall meeting. This session was packed (much more so than last year) and went extremely well.
In the second session we heard a GlassFish 4.1/Java EE 7 adoption story and did a deep dive into a GlassFish feature. The adoption story is something we've had for a few years now. This year we had a particularly cool story. Mohammed Taman shared the story of the first known real world deployment of Java EE 7 on GlassFish 4.1. Mohammed detailed a highly innovative and important project he helped develop for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the World Food Program (WFP). The project won the Duke's Choice Award for 2014. Mohammed is a consultant, Morocco JUG member, Egypt JUG leader, JCP executive committee member and expert group member for multiple JSRs. He has been a very active participant in the Adopt-A-JSR, Adopt-OpenJDK, and FishCAT programs.
A new component to the community events we decided to add this year is a technical deep dive. We wanted to show the nuts-and-bolts of a cool GlassFish feature presented by an actual GlassFish engineer. Martin Mares shared the details on the GlassFish extensible command line framework. It is an extremely innovative feature that allows an end user to extend and customize the rich command line capabilities built into GlassFish. Martin is now leading the Java EE 8 Management JSR and much of the work he presented actually forms the basis of that upcoming standard.
Like the first session, the second session was also packed (again a significant improvement from last year when some folks left early). Like past years, we actually created a dedicated page on glassfish.org for the Sunday events that's worth checking out if you are interested.
In the evening we hosted the traditional GlassFish Party at the Thirsty Bear. The party was completely packed until the very end even despite the fact that we got a bigger space this year! I gave out a few Java EE 7 shirts and posters to a few very well deserving folks in the community (you know who you are).
Monday: I spent most of Monday auditing a handful of sessions on the Java EE track including Linda's Java EE 8 session, the batch lab and Josh's Java EE 7 recipes talk. Everything seemed to go extremely well. In the late afternoon I manned the "Meet the Experts" table. The idea here was to have folks talk to us about various upcoming Java EE 8 APIs as well as Adopt-a-JSR. The idea was good but I think we got only mixed results from the effort. Next year we may need to better publicize it. In the evening I went to the JCP party which is always lively and a great way to network with some key folks in the Java community. I skipped the GlassFish BoF this year as I had a subsequent very late BoF with Steve titled Calling All GlassFish Users and User Groups: Please Contribute to GlassFish. Steve and I talked about the various ways to contribute to GlassFish. Steve did a brief demo on how easy the GlassFish source code was to setup and build. Unfortunately the BoF was very lightly attended probably because it as so very late in the evening (9 PM - 10 PM).
The demo application code is posted on GitHub. The code should be a helpful resource if this development model is something that interests you. Do let me know if you need help with it but the instructions should be fairly self-explanatory. The talk was packed and seemed to be very well received.
Later that morning Heather, Ed, Mohamed and I had our session on Adopt-a-JSR + Java EE titled Adopt-a-JSR for Java EE 7 and Java EE 8. Heather covered the Adopt-a-JSR program at a high level, Ed talked about the program from the perspective of a spec lead while Mohamed covered the adopter perspective. I finished by talking about Adopt-a-JSR in the specific context of Java EE 8. The talk was very good but unfortunately only moderately attended mostly by folks already involved in the program in one way or the other. Next time we need to figure out how to better boost attendance for these kinds of talks at JavaOne. I audited a few more sessions after the talk before manning the "Meet the Experts" table once again after lunch.
Most of the rest of the afternoon I audited a few more sessions before heading over to Oracle OpenWorld for a BoF on using WebLogic 12.1.3 with Arquillian. The BoF was a joint effort between me and Aslak Knutsen (Arquillian project lead). Given that OpenWorld has a weak reputation for developer centric topics, our expectations were fairly low. To our surprise, the talk was pretty decently attended though the audience was definitely more aloof than at JavaOne with very few developers in the audience. I finished the day off with briefly going to the Tomitribe party and chatting with a few friends.
The talk was totally packed, there was very good audience interaction and I got some excellent feedback from a few folks afterwards. After the talk I headed over to a book signing for the second edition of EJB 3 in Action along with my co-authors Micheal and Ryan. It was great to get a chance to catch up with them and the book signing went well at the JavaOne book store. I did not really have much else scheduled for the day so I headed back to my hotel for a quiet evening preparing for the next and last day of JavaOne.
The code for the talk is available on GitHub. If you are looking into testing Java EE applications using Arquillian, the code should be very helpful to you. Feel free to give me a holler if you need any help. The session was very well attended despite the fact that it was one of the last sessions of the conference and I got some very good feedback afterwards. It was the perfect way to end JavaOne 2014!
JavaOne 2014 will Come to Your Computer - for Free!
I want to remind all of you that we make a point to make JavaOne content openly available to all. Some of the recorded sessions have already been made available and more is on the way. In fact, we've already started highlighting these sessions on The Aquarium blog and will continue to do so in the next coming months, so do stay tuned.
On a more personal note, I did get to do something that's been on my to-do list for a while on this trip - hike Mount Diablo (yes, that's "Devil Mountain" in Spanish). The mountain so close to and so visible from the Bay area is pretty unique - although it's fairly short at only about 3,800 feet, it is said that you can see the second largest amount of the surface of the earth from it's tallest peak. That's because the area surrounding the mountain is incredible flat increasing visibility dramatically. This is also true of Mount Kilimanjaro - the place where you get to see the most amount of the surface of the earth (to top it off Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in the African continent by a good margin). What I find really fascinating is actually the beautiful semi-arid landscape in the Diablo Mountain chain (see for yourself in the pictures I took below). I've seen it many a time while driving around the Bay area and it was awesome to finally see it up close and personal. If you ever plan to take the hike yourself be cautious - the hike is long and strenuous with many successive rapid elevation changes both upward and downward.
All in all this was a great JavaOne that we hope we repeat or improve on in the coming years. Hopefully you'll make the JavaOne pilgrimage one of these days too if you haven't already? For those of you that did attend it would be great to hear what you though especially with regards to Java EE?

In January 2009, studio building De Plataan at the Ramelestraat in Deventer burnt down to the ground. A new building could be established at the exact same location using the money that the insurance company paid out.
Durability has been applied in order to drive down the energy costs; the building makes optimum use of passive energy. A compact set-up has been realized in this building by providing all the walls and roofs with high-grade insulation packages. In addition, the building has been accommodated with underfloor heating and cooling by means of a heat pump and cold and heat storage in the ground, while every studio has been equipped with balanced ventilation with heat recovery.
The sawtooth roof gives the building the impression of being a small factory unit. The walls have been cemented grey and the shutters are also grey in color when opened. However, the exterior of each shutter is brightly colored. When the artists are working, the studios are radiant, but when everyone has left the building and the shutters are closed, the colors make the building radiate.

Crocked County No 1 out of Highland derby
ROSS COUNTY keeper Mark Brown will miss today's Highland derby with Inverness in Dingwall.
By Scott Burns
02:49, Sat, Mar 2, 2013
Ross County boss Derek Adams
The former Celtic and Motherwell keeper suffered a hand injury in training.
And there are fears that he may have suffered a fracture and could be out for several weeks.
It is a major setback for County boss Derek Adams as Brown has been a big player for the Staggies, keeping six clean sheets in their recent nine-game unbeaten run.
Michael Fraser will be in goal for County today as the Highland clubs chase Euro places.
Inverness are one point ahead of County in third place, with a win for either side almost certainly guaranteeing a top-six place.
Adams is confident his players can handle the pressure of being favourites for the clash.
The Dingwall side are aiming for their fifth consecutive win while Caley Thistle have won just one out of their last eight games.
Adams said: "We are the favourites because we are on a run of nine games unbeaten and we have won a lot of them.
"We have got that pressure on us. Inverness had that pressure on them earlier this season and they won the match in the league. We will have to handle that. But the players respond to pressure very well and they have done that this season.
"We have come off an excellent result on Tuesday night against Aberdeen.
"We were obviously the better side and just too strong for them."
Caley Thistle have won two out three derbies this season, including a Scottish Cup replay, but Adams still remembers their two victories over Terry Butcher's side in the season when Inverness were promoted.
Adams said: "We were obviously hard done by in the Scottish Cup here – they scored two goals that were offside. I keep harping on about it but it's the fact.
"But on league business we have done well against them in the First Division. We had the upper hand then. We have made a number of changes to the side since we played them. I think as a team we have strengthened."
County's 1-0 win at Aberdeen ensured the Dons have taken just two points from 18 against the Highland pair.
And Craig Brown's side might not get another chance to beat one of their northern rivals this season as the Dons struggle to make the top six amid a shift in power in the north. Adams said: "At the start of the season no one would have thought Inverness and Ross County would have been in the top half of the table, but the clubs have shocked a lot of people.
"That's testament to the players from both sides – how well they have played and for what we have done for the Highlands. I'm delighted for both sides."

The fear of making mistakes is often worse than the actual experience and repercussions from making them. That's because mistakes and the pain they cause are necessary for learning.
One of our teachers, Venerable Ajahn Ofer from Israel once pointed out that, without pain, it would be too risky to leave the house because we'd have no way of knowing what's dangerous and what's safe.
The pain that arises when we realize that we've done something wrong is a form of wisdom arising and guiding us to a happier destination. That is why I say that fear of mistakes is worse than the making of the mistake. While admittedly painful, a mistake can be seen in a positive light because it is an opportunity for learning.
The best way to learn from our mistakes is to complete a meditation course because when we practice insight meditation, we develop our natural ability to reflect on our words and behaviour so that we can act and speak in a way that advances our goals.


Spanking is not the answer as there are other ways for you to deal with a misbehaving child. Don't discipline with physical punishment because doing that teaches children that the people who love them are the ones most likely to hurt them and that physical force is justified, and that violence is an acceptable way of solving problems. So whatever happens do not use physical force on them. Some say spanking is the best method to let a child know that they are behaving badly. Spanking does not solve anything and only teaches a child that hitting is appropriate, which sends out the wrong message. There is discipline and then there is punishment, spanking is not disciplining your child but its punishment.
Children who are spanked may feel depressed and devalued, and their self-worth suffers. Harsh punishments can backfire because they develop lying in children who are desperate to avoid being spanked. Later in life, physical punishment is linked to mental-health problems including depression, anxiety and drug and alcohol use. Spanking could affect areas of the brain involved in emotion and stress regulation. Spanking is harmful emotionally to both parent and child, it stops the behavior temporarily, it does not teach your child an alternative behavior. It also interferes with the development of trust, a sense of security, effective communication and self-discipline. It also causes resentment and harm the relationship between you and your child.
1.) Spanking gives the example that violence solves problems– Spanking also shows children that violence is the way to solve life's problems. Physically punishing your child can be perceived as bullying, sending the message to your child that this is an effective way to get others to do things your way.
2.) Spanking exposes children to violence– Children mostly learn from their parents. Spanking is an aggressive act, showing children their parents acting in an out-of-control manner.
3.) Spanking sends a mixed signal– Spanking demonstrates that older people have a right to hit younger people. You're sending the message that older, bigger people have the right to hit younger, smaller people. This is confusing when you're disciplining a child for hitting someone.
4.) It teaches that hitting solves problems– Kids must learn acceptable, nonviolent alternatives to solve problems, spanking is not an example. Spanking is troublesome for a child who is short tempered. The spanking generally increases a child's impulsiveness or aggression.
5.) It's only a momentary cure– Spanking only stops misbehavior momentarily. The bad behavior usually resumes because a child doesn't know how else to act.
6.) Spanking doesn't teaches the child how to act– The child instead learns how not to get caught whenever the parent is around. The child can become good in manipulation.
7.) Spanking damages self-esteem– Self-esteem is a critically important and fragile thing. If you want your child to succeed in life, the level of their self-esteem will be a major determining factor and spanking them damages that self-esteem.
8.) Spanking can hinder the development of mental health– According to a new study, links have been found from later mental health diagnoses to higher incidents of childhood spanking for disciplinary purposes. When spanking your child, your intention isn't to create long-term psychological problems, so stop.
9.) The child is much more likely to remember the punishment than why they were punished– They behave out of fear instead of because wanting to act right. The respectful relationship with the parent is altered.
10.) Spanking damages your relationship and trust– Spanking shakes the foundation of trust between you and your child. Your child trusts you to always have their best interests at heart. Spanking can greatly cause your child to question that.
11.) Spanking teaches children to behave through punishment– It does not teach kids self-control or the internal control. The goal of discipline is to help the child learn self-control and spanking hinders that.
12.) Spanking thwarts moral growth– It stops kids from misbehaving because they want to avoid punishment not because they want to do what is right. Key part of discipline is the calm approach which stretches moral growth.
13.) Spanking teaches your child to lie to avoid punishment– Most people do what they want to do, unless the risk of getting detected is high. Punishment teaches children to avoid detection by avoiding their parents and lying to them if detected.
14.) No one can learn when they're afraid– It is impossible to learn and think when fearful. If you want your child to learn something, it's important to reduce fear rather than increase it and physical punishment only increases fear.
Stay calm and quiet if your child is misbehaving or having a tantrum. When your child is calm, teach them how to handle their anger or frustration appropriately without yelling or hitting them. As tempting as it is to use your hand, think of the lesson that's being passed down to the next generation through you.

Q: Linux C, waitpid() is unblocked by handled signals with return value -1 and errno 5 I ran into this problem a few hours ago.
Even though I have fixed it, I simply don't understand why this happens.
signal(SIGHUP, sighupHandler);
.
.
.
// sync with child by getting a char written by child
fgetc(pipe_in);
close(pipe_in);
int status;
if(waitpid(initProcessPid, &status, 0) == -1){
    printf("debug: errno is %d\n", errno);
    printf("failed to wait for init process to end\n");
}

Every time a SIGHUP happens during the waitpid() block, waitpid() returns -1 with errno 5.
Although a EINTR should be in errno this case as pointed out by alk, EINTR is 4, not 5.
After a few hours gathering ideas from gdb, since I'm not actually doing anything on SIGHUP currently, I changed my code to:
signal(SIGHUP, SIG_IGN);

Then it works properly, SIGHUP no longer breaks the waitpid() block.
I was working on a linux container that aims to be single file and static.
https://github.com/Kethen/minicontainer

A: As per the wait()/waitpid() POSIX documentaion:

The wait() function shall cause the calling thread to become blocked until status information generated by child process termination is made available to the thread, or until delivery of a signal whose action is either to execute a signal-catching function or to terminate the process, or an error occurs.
If wait() or waitpid() returns due to the delivery of a signal to the calling process, -1 shall be returned and errno set to [EINTR].

Since you've configured SIGHUP to execute a function, it's covered by the emphasised clause above.
This is similar to many other system calls which can return EAGAIN when interrupted by a signal. One way you can handle it is with code similar to:
// Keep waiting while being interrupted.

int rc, err;
do {
    rc = waitpid (initProcessPid, &status, 0);
    err = errno;
} while ((rc == -1) && (err == EINTR));

// Any error other than interruption will be caught here.

if (rc == -1) {
    printf ("debug: errno is %d\n", err);
    printf ("failed to wait for init process to end\n");
}

You're also correct that Linux generally states this should be 4 rather than 5 but that's not always the case. Some systems use vastly different values (such as IBM iSeries, putting those common error codes up somewhere about 3400).
You should be checking against the specific name rather than a fixed value.


Last night after watching the final Oprah show (at least until the end of her non-compete with her syndicator, which ends in 2012), I read a terrific profile in BusinessWeek about Salmon Khan, "Salman Khan: The Messiah of Math," which seemed to me to be the perfect subject for Oprah. It is a great story about a revolution that is underway in how to teach in the 21st Century — and how to utilize some of the capabilities of technology in the classroom.
I won't get into all the specifics — I encourage you to read the article — but basically Khan accidentally created a nonprofit that makes short 10-minute lessons available for free online. After a few years of working on it, there are 2,500 or so lessons that have been viewed a combined 52 million times. Some forward-thinking schools are now integrating the lessons into their classes and are seeing amazing results. One school told BusinessWeek that test scores increased an average of 70 percent.
But what I like the most was the description of one teacher who had "flipped the classroom." Instead of sending the kids home to do the work and coming to school for the lecture, they are having the students consume the lecture at home and then come into class to do the work. What a concept! It gives the teacher the ability to participate and intervene as the students work on solutions. It is so much more aligned with how the world really works!
In the video below, Khan goes into more detail about flipping the classroom. I can't stress enough how important it is to have the U.S. classroom better reflect how the work world and the world in general really operate. I am very concerned that our schools are not preparing students for the type of environment they will have to navigate when they graduate.
We don't passively listen as someone commands. That is a 1950s mentality. We participate. We work in teams — usually dispersed geographically. We share and collaborate. The nature of the work is no longer hierarchical as it was less than a decade ago — ideas come from everywhere. Our schools must reflect these changes.

Q: how to create tables of events that the number's are unknown with SQLite i ll start to develop an iPhone application but i got a question/problem.
i was thinking about storing all the data in one single and huge table but than while i was drawing a schema, i noticed that i ll store events- trigger events like placed in IBActions, or in viewDidLoad's  i ll keep the count but the real question is, i need to store the dates and timestamps of this events as well.Like one user may trigger "home screen appeared" 100 times, keeping the count is easy but how can i store the dates?Should i create a separate table to keep each events and their timestamps?
If thats the case i don't know how many events there will be, wouldn't it be so much of a garbae tables?
In the end i'll send these SQLite informations to my back-end so it should be neat.
Can this be done in one single table?Am i missing some points?

A: To do this in one table, you would need a record ( row ) for each event. You could
select count(1) from events ....

to get the count, order by date_created with a limit N clause to get the most N recent, etc. If you insisted on keeping just one row per event, then no, I can't think of a clean way to keep track of all event dates without a second table.
To answer your other questions though, you can automatically assign the data of a record's entry by defining the column like this ..
DATE_CREATED DATE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

and not including that field on your insert statement. That is really your cleanest solution.

Dakota Water Science Center
Hydrologic Units for South Dakota in Google Earth
Project Period: 2009
Cooperator: Hyde County Conservation District, South Dakota Association of Conservation Districts
Project Chief: Ryan Thompson
A drainage area is a specific area of land defined by topography, which drains to a specific point. A hydrologic unit is a specific drainage area that has been included in a "nested" system for numbering and cataloguing of streams and drainage areas. Different levels of hydrologic units can be defined with a nested structure to provide more detailed drainage maps. To describe which land areas are drained by a given drainage system, the United States has been mapped into 21 different hydrologic regions. Each of these regions has a two-digit numeric code assigned to it. Portions of three different hydrologic regions are found within South Dakota. Part of extreme northeastern South Dakota is in region 09, the Souris-Red-Rainy, which ultimately drains to the Hudson Bay. Another part of northeastern South Dakota is within region 07, the Upper Mississippi. By far the largest portion of South Dakota is in hydrologic region 10, the Missouri. Each region is further divided into subregions, which inherit the two-digit number code of their parent region, plus their own two digits. Additional levels of detail divide the subregions into basins, and two more digits are added to their codes. Basins have been further divided into subbasins and assigned two more digits, giving them an 8-digit code. Figure 1 shows the subbasins within and near South Dakota, and their 8-digit codes. Table 1 provides a description of these subbasins, and shows how each is nested within a basin, subregion, and region.
Recently, the Watershed Boundary Dataset, or WBD, was completed for the United States. The WBD further subdivided 8-digit subbasins into watersheds with 10-digit codes and subwatersheds with 12-digit codes. The final product of the WBD consists of electronic drainage area and boundary data layers for use in geographic information system (GIS) software. More information on the WBD in South Dakota can be found on the project page for the South Dakota WBD. Because of the scale and level of detail inherent in the WBD, publishing a paper map product was not practical. Although the GIS format of the WBD makes it well-suited to mapping and spatial analysis, it is not necessarily readily accessible to individuals without access to GIS software. Landowners, individuals responsible for or interested in the implementation of conservation and watershed management programs, individuals within educational institutions, and the general public may not be able to use the WBD in its native format to learn more about their watershed and ecosystem. In order to make the WBD available to a wider audience, the U.S. Geological Survey has developed this internet resource page in cooperation with the Hyde County Conservation District and the South Dakota Association of Conservation Districts.
In recent years, public domain software such as Google Earth has made it possible for anyone with internet access to view maps and high-resolution imagery of the earth's surface. Converting the WBD GIS data layers to a Keyhole Markup Language (kml) file makes them available as data layers that may be displayed in Google Earth. Users need only download a free copy of Google Earth software to a home computer or access a computer at a public library or other location that already has Google Earth installed. A kmz file (zipped kml file) of the WBD downloaded from this site may then be opened in Google Earth.
For those unfamiliar with Google Earth, a brief orientation may be helpful. A menu bar is located along the top of the Google Earth window. An area called the sidebar can be displayed on the left side of the window by placing a check next to the sidebar option in the view menu. The sidebar contains a search box and a list of layers available for display. These layers may be turned on or off as desired using check boxes. The main part of the Google Earth window is the map. The latitude, longitude, and altitude can be displayed in a status bar along the bottom edge of the map by placing a check next to the status bar option in the view menu. Three navigation controls (pan, rotate, and zoom) can be displayed along the right side of the map by selecting one of the options to show navigation in the view menu. To load a layer into Google Earth, click on File -> Open, browse to the location of your kmz or kml file, and click on the OK button. Your file will then appear in the sidebar along with a checkbox. Files containing more than one layer will have a small plus sign next to the filename. Clicking on the plus sign will expand the file into a list of folders (layers) available. In WBD.kmz, the folders may also be expanded to show a list of each of the individual watershed boundaries within the WBD lines layer, or the individual polygons within the WBD polygon layer.
Because of the level of detail WBD.kmz provides, users may find it helpful to temporarily turn off its display (by un-checking the box next to WBD.kmz in the sidebar of the Google Earth window) until zoomed in to the area of interest.
By clicking on the pushpin that labels each subwatershed (12-digit hydrologic unit), a text balloon is opened that provides additional information, such as its name, parent watershed, area, and the code of the subwatershed it drains into downstream.
By opening the text balloons of the subwatersheds adjacent to your subwatershed of interest, you can determine if other areas drain into your subwatershed. The map can be used to determine what waterbodies may be within or immediately downstream of your subwatershed.
Depending on the currentness of the imagery Google Earth displays for your area of interest, you may be able to determine the dominant type of landuse within a subwatershed. For example land uses like urban, cropland, or rangeland are often easily determined from the aerial images displayed by Google Earth.
The color and thickness of the lines defining the boundary of each subwatershed indicate what level boundary each shared line segment is. For example, a bold pink line indicates a boundary between regions, a bold yellow line indicates a boundary between subregions, a bold blue line indicates a boundary between basins, and a bold green line indicates a boundary between subbasins. Thin red lines indicate boundaries between watersheds, and thin blue lines indicate boundaries between subwatersheds.
To keep WBD.kmz available each time you open Google Earth, have it saved to your "My Places" folder when prompted as you exit Google Earth.
If you find a location where the WBD lines appear to be incorrect and do not reflect actual drainage patterns, please notify South Dakota's WBD Steward.
Increasingly, watershed improvement programs and water quality investigations (such as Total Maximum Daily Load [TMDL] studies) are being conducted based on hydrologic unit boundaries rather than on county or other political boundaries. Oftentimes, landowner eligibility for certain cost share funds associated within land management practices will be based on having land within a specific hydrologic unit. Making the WBD viewable in Google Earth will help landowners and others visualize and understand their locations in the perspective of the watersheds and subwatersheds around them. Improved knowledge and understanding of hydrologic units at the local level can help to bring about better stewardship by landowners and the general public.

US Route 20, the Road Across America
It's all about the drive! Rolling hills, spectacular views, working landscapes, tranquil communities, and deep history. That's US Route 20, the longest highway in the United States stretching 3,365 miles coast to coast from Kenmore Square in Boston, Massachusetts to the junction of US 101 in Newport, Oregon. US Route 20 is also New York State's longest highway; 372 miles from the border with Massachusetts to the border of Pennsylvania.
In New York State, 108 miles of Route 20 from Duanesburg (Schenectady County) on the east to LaFayette (Onondaga County) on the west is designated as a New York State Scenic Byway because of its spectacular beauty and unique history to the westward migration of the state and the nation.
The area stretching about 30 miles either side of the Scenic Byway is considered the Scenic Byway Corridor. The corridor features even more idyllic communities, numerous specialty shops, local farm markets, and numerous community events.
Welcome to America's Main Street!
Traveling the Route 20 Scenic Byway will make it seem like the world is not racing by quite so quickly.
U. S. Route 20 began as Native American trails in the early years of America. During our nation's first century, these trails were transformed with the construction of several turnpikes to handle the burgeoning westward traffic by horse and wagon. The most famous of the turnpikes connected Albany to Cherry Valley and later was extended to Cazenovia and the Syracuse area. This roadway became known as the Cherry Valley Turnpike and soon was dotted with taverns, hotels and other amenities for travelers. In the 1860s, the Cherry Valley Turnpike became the property of New York State. State and federal programs began providing funds for road building and management assistance by the turn of the century.
With the coming of the automobile, the highway had once again taken on a new life. In 1926, the road was designated as U.S. Route 20, the longest road in the country, running coast to coast a distance of 3,365 miles.
Roadside attractions and tourist cabins provided entertainment and much-needed services to a whole new kind of traveler. One can literally track the westward migration of the state and the nation in the buildings and the landscapes found along Route 20. The quiet neighborhoods and Main Streets of its historic villages showcase Federal and Greek Revival architectural styles of the Colonial/Turnpike era, a testament to the long history of the region.
Along Route 20, travelers pass New World Dutch, English, and gambrel-roof dairy barns, the numerous drive-ins and motor courts of the 1930s-1950s, all against the backdrop of the productive fields and tranquil pastures that first brought prosperity to the region.
So let's get started: take a look around to rediscover Route 20 and the surrounding area. You will find Excursion Routes from Route 20 to numerous points of interest throughout our nine-county Scenic Byway Corridor region. While the excursions are set up for those driving west to east, we've included complete route numbers in each of the scenic tour descriptions and provided maps to allow east-to-west drivers to "reverse" the trip easily. Either way, the journey will be as much fun as the destination.
Our Mission: The Route 20 Association of NYS, Inc., a regional partnership of communities, balances the promotion of local interests with the protection of scenic, agricultural, recreational, and historic resources by encouraging preservation, visitor accommodations, education and access; coordinating interpretation, promotion and signage and emphasizing the important historic transportation role of Route 20 and the resultant cultural / agricultural development so important to the westward expansion of the country.
The Route 20 Association of New York State was formed in 1999 to promote and preserve the unique and historic character of the Route 20 corridor and its many communities. It also serves as stewards of the NYS Route 20 Scenic Byway.
Route 20's Place in History Marked
A new roadside historic marker in Cherry Valley traces the development of what is now known as U.S. Route 20. The nation's longest highway began its journey in 1799 as the first Great Western Turnpike and grew along with settlers moving west. It would later become known as the Cherry Valley Turnpike and eventually, in 1926, after the arrival of the automobile, part of the U.S. highway system. In 2006 it became a New York State Scenic Byway.
The new marker, located on Route 20 at The Tepee in Cherry Valley, was dedicated in a short ceremony held Thursday, September 22, 2022. Phil Durkin, co-president of the Route 20 Association of New York State, spoke, expressing appreciation to Cherry Valley Supervisor Tom Garretson and the Board along with Highway Superintendent Marty Field and his crew for their role in the marker's installation. He also thanked Donna, Dale, and Pete Latella for allowing the marker to be placed on The Tepee property, "a gem in the crown of the Route 20 Scenic Byway". Donna Latella remarked they were honored to have the marker located there; "You couldn't pick a place with a better view".
Donna Latella, The Tepee; Phil Durkin and Bill Kosina, Route 20 Association; Andrea House, Town of Springfield; and Dale Latella, The Tepee.
The marker came about as a result of a generous grant from the William G. Pomeroy Foundation from Syracuse procured by the Route 20 Association.

Mallorca will find out if it's on the UK's 'Green' list in a few hours
Sandcastle on the beach in Puerto Alcudia, Mallorca. archive photo.
07-05-2021Wendy Wighton Urquhart
Today is the day countries find out if they have been included on the UK's coveted 'Green' List, which don't require tourists to quarantine when they get home.
The British Government has not confirmed an official time for the announcement, but according to the Sun newspaper, there will be a Downing Street press conference this afternoon.
Malta, Gibraltar, Iceland and Israel are tipped to be on the 'Green' List and Spain, Greece and France are likely to be on the 'Amber' List, which means people returning to the UK would have to quarantine for 10 days and have 2 PCR tests on day 2 and day 5.
Travellers arriving from 'Red' List countries will have to quarantine at a Government approved hotel at their own expense for 10 days and have 2 PCR tests on day 2 and day 8.
There are rumours that Portugal will also be added to today's list, which has sparked a surge in demand for holidays and flights when the International travel ban is lifted on May 17.
The list will be reviewed every three weeks and insiders predict that Spain, Greece and France will be green listed at the end of June.
UK Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps has said that he's in favour of establishing air corridors with Islands, including the Balearics, which have a lower rate of contagion than the mainland countries they belong to, but so far nothing has been confirmed.
