A Barossa Valley wine tour is one of Adelaide's highlights. The Barossa Valley is the most renowned wine growing region in the Adelaide area, and possibly Australia. It is a popular destination for both Australian and international wine tourists and for good reason. Less than 100 kilometres from Adelaide, with over 150 wineries ranging from familiar favourites like Jacob's Creek, Wolf Blass and Penfolds, to family run operations carving out their own particular niche. The best way to enjoy your day is to take a guided wine tour where your knowledgeable guide will show you some of the regions highlights (other than wineries) while sampling some fine wines along the way. If you are more interested in discovering the Barossa at you own pace, make sure you include a visit to Maggie Beer's Farm Shop, the Barossa Farmer's Markets, every Saturday in Angaston, and for something quirky The Herbig Family Tree also in Angaston. The tree was home for a couple of years to Friedrich and Caroline Herbig and two children around 1860. Eventually the family grew to 16 children and not surprisingly outgrew the tree which is now listed with the National Trust.
Take a tour to Hahndorf and see Australia's oldest German settlement dating back to the early 1800's. A lot of the original architecture of the town still survives today and it is interesting to see the merging of German and Australian influences in the historic buildings. You may notice references to Ambleside as there was a period when the German name of the town was replaced. Just to the north of Hahndorf you will find The Cedars, the historic home of Sir Hans Heysen a famous Australian landscape artist, and who the Heysen Trail was named after. As well as 200 original works on display you can tour the artists' studios and his home and gardens. If your art preferences are more Australian then visit Bukartilla with displays of Aboriginal and Australian Art. Timbers, minerals and gemstones are also on display. With its German influence, Hahndorf is also famous for smallgoods, beers and ciders not to forget the fabulous wine. You need not venture further than the ancient tree lined main street, where there are multiple establishments offering boutique beer and cider samples accompanied with local smallgoods. If wines are more to your taste, then there is an abundance of wineries to cater to your needs.
The Adelaide Hills has a catch cry of the 'Land of the Long Lunch' and this aptly describes the way you should spend lunch in the Adelaide Hills with so much good food and wine (or beers and ciders) on offer. What it doesn't cover is the diversity of the area. There is certainly enough to keep everyone happy, there are farm and wildlife experiences, history, culture, arts and ample activities for the kids. With heaps of coverage being given to the food and wine, this section is going to focus on those smaller members of your travelling troop. Situated halfway between Birdwood and Hahndorf is Melba's Chocolates Factory. Melba's Chocolates are produced in the old fashioned way and there are various rooms where you can view those processes. The opening times are 9.00 am to 4.30pm everyday so be sure to check their website for public holiday times and closures. Another favourite would have to be picking your own strawberries at Beerenberg farm between November and April. Even outside of the strawberry season the farm shop has their range of sauces, jams and relishes all made from the recent season's produce. Some of which are not available anywhere else. With so many farms in the Adelaide Hills, spending a day with the farm animals is a must. At Hahndorf Farm Barn, open 10am to 4 pm 7 days a week, you can milk a cow, hold a python, ride a pony (ok you have to be between 2 and 12 to do this one!), or take a tractor ride on the weekends. If farm animals and chocolates are not enough to make the day perfect, then how about visiting a toy factory where you will find the "Big Rocking Horse", the world's biggest at over 18m tall, and for a small cost you can climb over it. This is the perfect place to buy some wooden toys to add to the collection. There is also a wildlife park and for a token entry fee and you can purchase food to feed the animals.
Although best known for its dry red wines the McLaren Vale wineries also produce some fine white wines and the combination of a Mediterranean climate and great seafood make the area a gourmet's delight. My favourite McLaren Vale winery has to be Molly Dooker Wines (named after the Australian slang for left handers). I am not sure if it is the quality of their wines, and they are some of the best, or the quirky labels. Whichever one it is, try their wines and visit their cellar door. Keeping with the slightly irreverent trend, Wirra Wirra is another favourite, again the wines are excellent and who can resist a winery which enjoys hurling watermelons around on a medieval siege. Its more proof that good wine and enjoyment go hand in hand. Wirra Wirra also features Harry's Deli overlooking the gardens and vineyards where you can round out your morning with a quality lunch. The town of Willunga has cornered the market lifestyle and earns its title of the "Market Town". Every Saturday morning, they hold the Willunga Farmers Markets, off St Peter's Terrace, where the local farmers and producers sell their products direct to you. This is your opportunity to meet the people who are responsible for the fine produce used throughout the region. The Willunga Quarry Markets are held every second Saturday in Aldinga Road and also features the produce of the area. The Willunga Artisan's Market is held every second Saturday at the old show hall. Locals artists and their handmade articles are the feature of this market. You can browse through the stall looking for that one off piece of jewellery and leave with the inspiration and materials to make one of your own.
It isn't a spelling mistake, although it may have been what caused Victor Harbor to forget its U. There are other places in South Australia spelt this way lending support to the story that the spelling occurred due to an error by an early surveyor. Whichever way you spell it Victor Harbor, it is a very popular tourist destination located on the Fleurier Peninsula just an hour's drive south of Adelaide. No trip to Victor Harbor would be complete without riding the horse-drawn tramway to Granite Island (popular for whale watching). The first trams ran in 1894 until the 1950's, with services restarting in June 1986 as part of South Australia's 150th Anniversary. Also situated in Victor Harbor is the South Australian Whale Centre, where you can learn about whales and whaling in the area. Throughout the year you can take the 30 minute train journey from Goolwa on the Fleurieu Peninsular to Victor Harbor. Step back in time on special occasions when the steam train pulls the heritage carriages.
The Clare Valley Wine region is best known for its rieslings. When the rail line from Clare to Penwortham was damaged in the Ash Wednesday Bushfires in 1983, the line was eventually converted into a walking and cycling track now called the Riesling Trail. Although rieslings may be what has made Clare Valley famous, there are more than three times as many red wine grapes grown in the area. The Riesling Trail runs approximately 35 kilometres from Barinia in the north, through Clare, Sevenhill, Penwortham, Watervale and Leasingham through to Auburn in the south. If you are still wanting more, at Auburn you can join the Rattler Trail for a further 19 kilometres to Rhynie and Riverton. The trail is sealed and perfect for cycling or walking tours of the wineries, artist galleries and sights along the way. Each of the towns along the trail offer a variety of accommodation options. If you want time away from wine, then certainly plan a visit to Burra. The town is famous for the Monster Mine which in the late 1800's was one of the largest copper mines in the world. The town has preserved it early heritage with many of the original buildings from the boom days of the mine still in use.
Fifteen kilometres east of the centre of Adelaide is Mt Lofty. From the 710m summit, the vista is fabulous, you see the coast as well as magnificent views over Adelaide. You will not want to miss the Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens (admission is free). It covers 97 hectares and is a must see. There are walking trails within the gardens and the Friends of the Gardens run free guided walks. The Summit café is open 7 days a week and is a great place to sit and relax. For people who have more time why not have dinner at "The Summit" restaurant with views that are breathtaking. The summit may be reached by car, public transport or by hiking from Waterfall Gully. This is a popular track. You pass 6 waterfalls along this scenic walk. The car park can become very busy at times so consider parking at the summit and doing the walk in reverse. Whether you are walking or driving to the summit don't miss 'utopia@waterfallgully' one of Australia's last heritage tea rooms and the only restaurant nestled beside a natural waterfall. Winding its way through the Mt Lofty Park is part of the Heysen trail a 1,200 klm walk from Cape Jarvis to Parachilna Gorge. You may not have time to walk the complete trail but at least you can say you have walked part of the trail. Mt Lofty is also the most common place to see snow in South Australia, although if the snow does fall it usually doesn't last too long, so you best be quick.
Glenelg is a popular beachside suburb about 10 kilometres south of Adelaide CBD. If you want to travel on South Australia's only remaining public transport tram you can catch a tram from Hindmarsh all the way to Glenelg. Unfortunately, it is now only possible to travel on the heritage style trams as part of special events. If you tire of the beach and the jetty, or shopping on Jetty Road then pop into the visitor's centre and get one of their free maps that covers walking and cycling trails in the area. For history buffs Glenelg has a replica of the HMAS Buffalo, the ship that bought European settlers to the area. You can also see the 'Old Gum Tree' beside which, in 1836, South Australia was proclaimed. The original tree itself is long gone but you can still visit the area where the proclamation took place.
Even without a major event being on, Adelaide Oval should definitely make your Adelaide top 10 list. Actually it is probably better to visit it when there is not an event on as there are less restrictions. The stadium regularly hosts major events in addition to cricket and AFL. You can take a behind the scenes tour of the Adelaide Oval, again not available on public holidays or event days, to learn about the stadiums history and secrets from a band of enthusiastic and expert volunteers. For a totally different perspective on The Oval, take the roof climb, and to enhance your favourite Port Adelaide game watch a quarter of ALF from the roof! The Adelaide Oval also hosts the Bradman Collection, admission is free and open 7 days excluding public holidays and event days. Another wonderful feature of the Adelaide Oval is you can dine at the Hill of Grace Restaurant overlooking the field. This is a fine dining experience not to be missed, open for dinner Tuesday to Saturday and lunch on Fridays.

Mid-year Tri-Cities commercial real estate transactions down 22.5%
By donfenley.com on July 7, 2020 • ( 0 )
Unlike its residential cousin, commercial real estate (CRE) isn't seeing an early and robust rebound from the initial economic Covid-19 pandemic shock.
Total transactions for the first half of this year were down 22.5% compared to the first half of last year, according to the Northeast Tennessee Association of Realtors (NETAR). Sales of listing on the NETAR Commercial Market Listing Service (CMLS) were down 30.7% from last year's mid-year total while leases transactions lagged by 16.1%.
CMLS Committee Chair Cassie Petzoldt said there has been an increase in traffic and interest – both on the internet and in-person – but there's more "checking things out" than actual deal-making so far.
The full impact of the pandemic on the Tri-Cities CRE market is still unknown, but there's little doubt it will reshape parts of the commercial sector because while the recession is expected to be short, the recovery will be slow. There's also little doubt that some local CRE sectors won't behave like the national sectors.
For example, most analysts predict a tough time for office space thanks to the explosion of the remote and working-from-home trends escalated by the pandemic. The local office space inventory was not exactly healthy before the pandemic. It hasn't recovered from the coal industry's decline, the transition of the local economy from a manufacturing to a service industry base, and the merger of local hospital systems. But while there is still an abundance of inventory, office sales and lease transactions were the only sectors outperforming last year.
Sectors taking the biggest hits were retail-commercial (down 51.7%) and shopping center (down 43.5%). This aligns with the massive job losses in the region's Leisure and Hospitality job sector. Restaurant properties have seen increased interest, according to local practitioners. While there are new restaurant announcements and re-openings reported in the news, analysts think a loss of about 25% in the restaurant industry is possible before the shakeout is over.
Compared to the first half of last year, the biggest local transaction decline was in the multi-family sector. It was down 75%.
Land sales are off by a third, while industrial sales and leases are down 5.3% from mid-year 2019. That was one of last year's hot items.
Despite the big declines in local sales and lease transactions, there are signs of new commercial real estate development. A major downtown Bristol project, continued expansion at the Pinnacle, and expansion in West Kingsport are examples.
A softening of the commercial market was well underway before Covid-19 showed up in the second quarter.
During the first quarter, there were $60.8 million in CRE sales, according to the Appalachian Dashboard for Real Estate Analytics. The Dashboard data is more compulsive of the market because it tracks sales by deed transfers instead of transactions of CMLS listings. Those sales were down 15.3% from Q1 2019, and the volume lagged by almost half. But to put that in context, Q1 2019 was the best Tri-Cities commercial sales quarter in four years.
At the same time, there were 147 area commercial permits with a permit value of $44.9 million. Sullivan led the seven-county region with 55 new permits followed by Washington Co. TN with 45 new permits.
Mid-year reports on commercial permits and from the Dashboard will be available early in the third quarter.
There are currently 307 commercial properties listed on the NETAR CMLS site for sale or lease in the three-county Johnson City Metropolitan Statistical Area (MLS). That area includes Washington, Carter, and Unicoi counties in NE Tenn.
There are 241 listings in the four-county Kingsport-Bristol MSA. It comprises Hawkins and Sullivan counties in NE Tenn. and Hawkins and Washington Co. in SW Va.
There's no significant change in the number of listings from May.
Listings are public and searchable at https://www.netarcmls.us/

Daimler's Truck Business to Return to Iran as Sanctions Lift
By Caribbean Business on January 18, 2016
FRANKFURT, Germany – Daimler AG says its truck business is returning to Iran as Berlin and Tehran look at restoring economic ties after a landmark deal to curb Iran's nuclear activities led to the lifting of sanctions.
Stuttgart-based Daimler announced Monday that it had signed letters of intent with local partners Iran Khodro Diesel and Mammut Group to arrange a "comprehensive re-entry" into the country where Daimler started doing business in the 1950s.
Daimler Trucks head Wolfgang Bernhard said that "there is a huge demand for commercial vehicles in Iran" and that "we plan to quickly resume our business activities in the market there."
Plans include a joint venture for local production of trucks under Daimler's Mercedes-Benz brand, cooperation on engine production, and establishment of a sales arm. Plans also include setting up a representative office, and sales of Daimler's Mitsubishi FUSO brand trucks in cooperation with Mayan, part of the Dubai-based Mammut Group.
Daimler's business in Iran started in 1953 and it sold up to 10,000 vehicles a year there, but was interrupted from 2010 to 2016 by the sanctions. The company estimates that Iran needs to replace 56,000 commercial vehicles over the next three to five years.
Germany's Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel said Sunday that the nuclear deal offers a chance "to open a new chapter" in German-Iranian business relations and plans to chair a joint economic commission in Tehran in May. He has cautioned that restoring ties is "a long-term process."

Fine Gael councillor, John Dolan, has called for the introduction of shelters and picnic areas along the Greenway.
Cllr Dolan told the chamber at Monday's meeting of the Athlone Municipal District that he was approached recently by a user of the Greenway from Kildare, who brought up the need for the facilities to be provided.
Cllr Dolan said many people find the Greenway a long distance to travel, and that people need a place to stop, get shelter or recuperate before continuing on their journey.
Independent councillor, Michael O'Brien, said he uses the Greenway frequently and often sees families having picnics on the unused rail track. He said there is definitely scope for the introduction of picnic facilities and that the bad weather Ireland gets makes providing shelters a good idea.
Director of services, Barry Kehoe, said outdoor recreation schemes may be possible. However, he expressed concern that any shelters installed could become beacons for anti-social behaviour. As a result, Mr Kehoe said it is more likely that picnic areas and stop-off areas can be introduced rather than shelters.


Poor image quality, garbled audio, unnecessarily stern lectures from the goddamn FBI -- these are what made our old VHS watching memorable. (And we loved every minute of it, dammit.) Still, there doesn't seem to be much cause for film purists to stay loyal to the dead format in the same way music nerds cling to vinyl. Compared to Blu-ray and streaming, VHS tape is an objectively worse format. But is it making a comeback?
Recently, clothing retailer / garbage heap of nostalgia Urban Outfitters began selling "Mystery VHS" packages, which each include five "iconic" films on Beta's nemesis. For $40. Don't worry about the cost, these sets have been "curated," and each one is unique. For example, the comedy bundle might such include icons of the genre as ... A Night At The Roxbury? An entire movie predicated on the notion that two dudes bobbing their heads in unison is funny?
Urban OutfittersOnly $8 for the joy of maybe opening an ancient copy of Another Stakeout? What savings!
Yeah, not surprisingly, this has raised some eyebrows. Not just because this product is seemingly the apex of lazy commodification of pop culture, but also because they didn't even bother to refurbish the tapes as overpriced bookends, or some kind of janky clock. Not to mention how one could wander into any random thrift store and "curate" their own VHS tape set for like a buck apiece.
As galling as this might seem to film fans everywhere, this is pretty much how Urban Outfitters does business. They launch a "controversial" product, and then mine social media outrage for free publicity. And it totally works! But this time, instead of making light of a historical tragedy or promoting eating disorders, the company is trolling movie nerds. So don't let them. Let's all pretend that 40 bucks is a reasonable price to pay for a tattered copy of Caddyshack II, and maybe they'll just go away like the Goblin King in Labyrinth (which, incidentally, is available on Blu-ray).

"A truly human-centered organization puts its people first — even above customers — because it recognizes that they are the key to creating long-term value. Costco, for example, pays its average worker $20.89 an hour, Businessweek reported last year, about 65 percent more than Walmart, which owns its biggest competitor, Sam's Club. Over time, Costco's huge investment in employees — including offering benefits to part-time workers — has proved to be a distinct advantage.


CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group Richard Yu addresses the audience to launch the Huawei P9 smartphone during a press conference at Battersea Evolution in London, April 6, 2016.
The Chinese telecom giant Huawei recently launched a massive publicity campaign to raise awareness in Africa about what it is doing to train local employees. The company has opened at least five training centers in different countries across the continent and claims that it annually provides skills training to 12,000 Africans. Every year, Huawei says it sponsors thousands of IT engineers from Kenya, South Africa, and Nigeria, among other countries, to travel to the company's headquarters in southern China for additional skills development. The company also says it wants to move beyond simple training programs to seeding African technology innovation: In July, Huawei announced a new partnership with South Africa's Department of Telecommunications and Postal Service to build new innovation centers that will foster IT development. Similar centers are expected to launch elsewhere in Africa over the next few years.
Africa is one of the fastest growing markets for Huawei, as the company seeks to chip away at Samsung's regional dominance in mobile phones. Given the importance and potential of the African IT market, it makes a lot of sense for Huawei to invest in developing its local talent. Chinese companies don't have a great reputation for labor relations and skills transfer in Africa, though, and there are legitimate reasons to be skeptical of Huawei's claims.
While Huawei has aggressively publicized its new training programs, the company is characteristically shy about revealing the actual effectiveness of these programs and whether the skills taught by the company are useful beyond Huawei, as well as whether young people who have gone through their training programs are able to find jobs with other companies in the IT market. Since there has been little research done on the quality of Huawei's skills development programs, it is hard to determine their effectiveness. So, for now, it is almost impossible to deem whether the media hoopla the company is generating is legitimate or just typical corporate public relations propaganda.
Johns Hopkins University Masters candidate Ben Tsui wanted to find out. He recently completed a policy brief for the China Africa Research Initiative on Huawei's training programs and skills transfer initiatives in Africa. He joins Eric and Cobus to discuss how we should view Huawei's efforts to develop local IT talent across Africa.

Genuine tip warning! Like most of us I suspect, I have never found a printer that was simultaneously reliable, easy to use, and cheap to run. The main issue has been print cartridges – cheap ones clog the machine or break it entirely, and manufacturer's' ones are outrageously expensive. I have now found an answer to this problem.
I should be clear that this tip refers to home general purpose printers, for producing b/w or colour documents and occasional prints, plus copies. From my perspective it does not make sense to try to print good photographs of any size at home – commercial photolabs provide scale benefits and quality that are pretty much impossible to match at any price for the home printer- there is nothing that I can buy that is as good as the Fuji Frontier printer they use at Studio22, and they will turn out a perfect 8×12 image for a few pounds.
On the other hand I have bought pretty much every brand of general purpose printer over the years None has been satisfactory, and there are some brands I will no longer use at all. HP printers are in the Apple class for me for example. The hardware was quite clever – fast and mechanically reliable, but the software was just horrible. The full install used to run to nearly a Gigabyte, and put on all sorts of HP commercial crap that you didn't want. Their network software was also pretty useless, and worst of all, different HP printer drivers interfered with each other – so if you used an old HP printer in one location, and a new one somewhere else, they often screwed each other up. To be fair, I think the size of the print drivers has reduced, but I have had such bad experiences with it, I don't want to go back to HP. Lexmark's printer cartridge price gouging and poor build irritated me, and their poor quality is probably one reason why they have just announced they are leaving the consumer printer market. So that leaves Epson, and Canon, both of whom I have some liking for.
However, my most recent Epson printer, an SX610FW, while being mechanically brilliant, had huge problems with even the standard Epson cartridges. It has been back for repair 3 times while in warranty, and is now so comprehensively blocked that the company are going to replace it entirely. Using cheap replacement cartridges in these machines is a complete no-no, but a full set of cartridges costs £35 or $50, and they don't last too long. Deeply unsatisfactory.
In general, using cheap cartridges on any brand of machine is a complete lottery. They can either ruin the machine, as with the Epson, or be unusable, as is often the case with HP or Canon, meaning the cost of throwing away dud ones is almost the same as buying the kosher, gougingly priced manufacurer's one. Buying cheap cartidges from a reputable retailer seems to confer no benefit – I have bought dud cartridges from just about every major retailer in the UK and SA. What to do then?
I noticed recently, while ordering cartridges on Amazon, that some suppliers were getting really high ratings. Sadly though, they didn't offer cartridges for the printer I was looking for. Here is an example of an Amazon UK search for 'printer cartridges' sorted by rating. The first one on the list gets 60 x 5* ratings! Looking at the ratings, they appear kosher – you can usually tell when the ratings have been written by the supplier. The company involved is called 'First Call Inks', but they only do inks for a few kinds of printers. So I called them, to see if they had inks for the printer I wanted. I spoke to a very knowledgeable bloke – who turned out to be the owner. He was clear that they only supply inks for printers that work well with compatible inks, and are themselves of good quality. The ones they did most for were Canons. So the next time I needed a printer (not long) I ordered one of the printers he supported. This is the trick – instead of buying a printer and seeing if cheap cartridges will work – start with the cartridges that work and then buy the printer that fits.
I ended up getting a Canon MG5350. It's a good quality, fast office all-in-one. The supplied inks ran out pretty sharpish, and the replacement ones from Canon were around £15 each – and 5 are needed in total. From First Call these were £9.00 in total (for all five) with free delivery. With some trepidation I put the replacement cartridges in – and bingo! Perfect! I have now replaced numerous cartridges of all colours, and they all work perfectly, and at around 1/6th the cost. By the way I chose Canon because the printer ink guy said they were the best – and I think he was right. But they also do inks for Epson and Brother – personally I will be cautious with those given my prior experience.
The same approach oddly does not yield such clear results in the US, but this search shows a supplier and range of supported printers that get pretty solid ratings. So there you go. Start with the cartidge, then choose the printer. No charge for this tip, but it really worked for me – and maybe it will for you too.


Accidentally one of my script created a file named '-1264924755.done' (i.e. filename starting with a hyphen).
Try `rm ./-1264924755.done' to remove the file `-1264924755.done'.
This is because the command line parser treats the filename as a command line switch (because of the hyphen). So commands like mv, rm etc treats the file name itself as a parameter(option) to the command.

Reparations, racism, and equality of outcome. South Africa slides into Marxist abyss (Video)
ALEX CHRISTOFOROU
South Africa's land reform program is now front and center after US President Donald Trump tweeted about the South African government's plan to steal farms from white landowners.
Trump said he asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to study South African "land and farm seizures" and "killing of farmers"…
South Africa's president is sticking by his claims that taking farms away from white farmers is a program of "land-reform" that will make South Africa fairer…
RT CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle and The Duran's Alex Christoforou examine the Marxist abyss that South Africa has plunged itself into, as the radical left champion the government theft of farmland from landowners as some sort of twisted historical reparation…all the while South Africa, once a country fully capable of feeding its population, has become a net importer of food for the first time in its history.

Via The Express UK…
Although the president was making the case for land-reform, many commentators are insistent that this is a land grab which may further inflame racial tensions.
White farmers in South Africa have said they have been targeted in 'horrific' attacks this year, which were ignored by police and encouraged by the government.
In an article today for the Financial Times, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said land ownership changing hands is essential to fulfill the vision of Nelson Mandela, the nation's first democratic president.
Mr. Ramaphosa writes: "This is no land grab. Nor is it an assault on the private ownership of property.
"South Africa has learnt from the experiences of other countries and will not make the mistakes that some have made."
He argued that 97 percent of South Africa's total agricultural holding are owned by seven percent of landowners, and 72 percent of farms and agricultural holdings are owned by whites.
His administration intends to release well-located urban land for low-cost housing, allowing poorer South Africans to relocate and find jobs.
Mr Ramaphosa wrote…
"Land reform in South Africa is a moral, social and economic imperative.
"By bringing more land into productive use, by giving more South Africans assets and opportunities, the country is creating conditions for greater, more inclusive and more meaningful growth"
His words could fuel fears among big business in South Africa that his programme could lead to greater instability.
US President Donald Trump this week sent the rand into a tailspin by tweeting that he would ask Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to study South African "land and farm seizures" and the "killing of farmers".
Mr. Ramaphosa took over the presidency in February this year after the corrupt Jacob Zuma was forced to resign from office under the looming threat of a military coup.

ABB Solar Solutions Support Antarctic Research Base
ABB is continuing its work with Uruguayan government agency Instituto Antarctico Uruguayo (IAU) by providing solar power solutions for a second installation at the IAU's Artigas research base in the Antarctic, helping facilitate climate change research.
The IAU – along with Uruguayan utility company UTE and the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining – wanted to strengthen the use of PV systems at the base to further increase the use of renewable energy instead of standby diesel generators.
In 2018, ABB's solutions played a role in establishing the first solar system at the Artigas base.
"We were able to take the considerable learnings from the first installation in 2018 and apply them to this project," notes Francisco Manfredi, service sales specialist at ABB. "Hence, we were able to provide an even more reliable solution and support the IAU in its goal of powering Artigas by renewable energy. The results so early into the project are fantastic and will help contribute to vital scientific research as the world reduces its reliance on fossil fuels to meet its climate challenges."
Working with the installer, Smart Green Uruguay (SGU), the team had to negotiate harsh conditions to complete the installation in just three days. With the first project, the solar panels had been mounted onto building walls to minimize wind interference. However, this meant the position of the panels was not at the optimum tilt of 55 degrees North, resulting in a compromised performance. Taking this learning into the second installation, the team used ground-mounted the solar panels, achieving a better position for sunlight.
As a result, during sunlight hours in the summertime, up to 10% of the instant power demanded by the base can be provided by the optimized solar plant. It has already offset 0.8 metric tons of carbon emissions in the first two months since its installation – reducing Artigas' impact on the Antarctic ecosystem and creating operational savings that will be put toward scientific research.
The solution includes ABB solar inverter UNO-DM-6.0-TL (6 kW at 230 VAC 1ph), MCB 40A 2-pole and RCD 40A 300mA 2-pole, 24 ground-mounted solar panels JINKO 270 W (12 modules per string), and a connection to ABB's Aurora Vision Plant Management portal via the inverter's embedded Wi-Fi interface.
ABB pre-configured the equipment by testing it in a laboratory to recreate the adverse Antarctic environment. ABB then provided extensive training for the installers and real-time support to SGU throughout the installation via the Aurora Vision Management platform.

'Buhari, Tinubu Not Fighting over Naira Redesign, Fuel Scarcity'
I Did Not Sell Osun Osogbo Symbol, Says Ataoja
Nigeria | 4 years ago
Yinka Kolawole in Osogbo
The notion that the Ataoja of Osogbo land, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, has sold an inheritance of the town, the Osun Osogbo symbol to a foreign land for $15million is now causing ripples in the town.
However, the monarch who fingered one Adigun Iyanda, said he would not go scot free as he has incurred the wrath of the goddess on his head over what he termed wrong accusation.
The monarch in a press conference held at his palace yesterday condemned the accusation which he described as unfounded and ruse, charging members of the public to disregard it.
Oba Olanipekun, who also maintained that the accuser would soon meet his waterloo over the wrong claim, argued that Osun Osogbo is a spirit that could not be sold to anybody, threatening to arrest Iyanda whenever he surfaces in Osogbo.
The royal father noted further that Osun Osogbo is spiritual, a deity and an emissary of God which cannot be sold or bought by anybody. "In fact, it is not a physical property," he added.
He, however, condemned the accuser and referred to him as an agent of destruction.
The Ataoja, therefore, noted that "whosoever that calls me a thief will not go unpunished. Let him provide the seller and buyer. He will be arrested if he comes to Osogbo from his base abroad.
"Leveling such allegation against me as a king is wicked and uncalled for, and the ancestors and deities of the land will fight against the lies."
Also speaking with THISDAY, the Arugba Osun Osogbo Chief, Abimbola Oyewale, who carried Osun Osogbo calabash for 15 years said some people want to tarnish the image of the town.
She said she was installed by the late Ataoja, Oba Oyewale Mantanmi, but some mischievous people are out to rubbish the Ataoja stool.
Also, the Iya Osun, Mrs. Osunkemi Osunwede, contended that nobody can go against the people's culture and go free.
She then enjoined the people of the state to be law-abiding and do away with unnecessary drama as regards the sale of Osun Osogbo.


Whether you embrace colour, or hide from the wilder hues, neutrals are essential to any design. However, there are two major sides one has to choose from when selecting a neutral: grey vs beige.
Both colours are characterized for having a great ability to play well with others and give your eyes a chance to rest so that you can appreciate other colours in the room. However, most of the interior designers that we have polled, show a slight preference towards grey. Why? The consensus so far is that grey provides a grown-up hue that renders the level of sophistication that their clients crave.

Darren Turner to fill in for Wheldon on Gold Coast
Andrew Lewin
British driver Darren Turner has stepped in to substitute for the late Dan Wheldon in the Gold Coast 600, with replacements also confirmed for Tony Kanaan and Will Power.
V8 Supercars organisers have announced that British driver Darren Turner will be competing in this weekend's Gold Coast 600 event in the #1 Toll Holden Racing Team Commodore.
That's the seat that should have been taken by Dan Wheldon, before the tragic events of the weekend in which the Indianapolis 500 winner lost his life. Wheldon was said to be excited about his d?but in the Gold Coast event and the prospect of racing alongside his good friend James Courtney.
37-year-old Turner is a current FIA GT competitor and former McLaren F1 test driver, as well as a two-time GT1 class winner in the Le Mans 24 Hour race with David Brabham in the Aston Martin in 2007 and 2008. He has also raced in the BTCC and DTM series.
Organisers went on to to confirm that replacements have also been arranged for Will Power and Tony Kanaan, who withdrew from the V8 event after the crash in Las Vegas. Will Power suffered some neck and back trauma in the accident, while Kanaan was one of Wheldon's closest friends in the motor racing world and V8 organisers said that they "fully support his decision" in the circumstances.
Kanaan is to be replaced in Jason Bargwanna's Jana Living/BJR Commodore by Denmark's Allan Simonsen - who recently placed third in the Bathurst 1000 with Greg Murphy. Northern Ireland's Richard Lyons fills in for Power in Mark Winterbottom's Orrcon Steel FPR Falcon.
Three other drivers from Sunday's ill-fated IndyCar race - Ryan Briscoe, Alex Tagliani and Helio Castroneves - have all decided to continue to compete in the Gold Coast this weekend.

"Ryan Briscoe said it would be best to come here and race in honour of Dan," V8 Supercars chairman Tony Cochrane said on Tuesday. "We want to run a good event on the weekend as a true testament to a true champion in Dan Wheldon."
"People deal with things differently," pointed out five-time V8 series champion Mark Skaife. "There is not a driver who does it for a living not affected," he said, adding that he had never seen such a big accident as Sunday's in 25 years of motor racing. "However, there are a lot of friends of Dan's who have chosen to drive again ... To get back in the car and race is probably what Dan would have wanted."
"It was a very sad situation for everyone after Dan's death yesterday," said V8 Supercars acting CEO Shane Howard. "Obviously we were looking forward to having Dan, Will and Tony with us, but our thoughts are with them and their families at this time.
Di Grassi added to Surfers Paradise line-up
Heidfeld adds another string
"We are grateful that Richard, Allan and Darren could make themselves available at such short notice and we look forward to having them here. We also appreciate what Ryan, Alex and Helio have been through in the last couple of days and will ensure they are accommodated with what they need over the next week.
"The offers of support from all levels of the international motorsport community have been amazing and really makes you proud to be a part of this business," he added.
"We are looking forward to paying tribute to Dan with a terrific event - one he was very much looking forward to being a part of."

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to scientifically prove the limits of the hypothesis that political memory is shaped by the media and press operations in Turkey under the influence of the political actors. The studies consist of using two different methods, media analysis and fieldwork. In this context, the media analysis involves newspaper articles about the political leaders from the 2014 Presidential elections. The newspapers were selected based on their political view and ratings. We collected and analysed 1067 articles from the most read five national newspapers which have different places on the political spectrum in Turkey, published between June 1 and August 10, 2014. The fieldwork chapter of the analysis consisted of a sealed envelope survey. The questionnaire forms were given to the 500 students from Pamukkale University, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, 243 of them were valid; social media and media usage habits of the subjects were examined and evaluated with their replies to the memory-related questions. Lastly, the study concluded that the interactive-relationship between media and memory could be shaped by the political motivations of media and/or political actors, but the result can be eventually a false memory. That is, one's habitus has the determining priority regarding the scope and the content of the memory -or the false memory.
Résumé. Etablir un processus de patrimonialisation, ou l'adapter au contexte industriel des minoteries ? De telles initiatives ont été largement traitées par les protecteurs du patrimoine dans le monde. La conservation, la réhabilitation, la reconversion ont marqué l'histoire versant pour le profit des retombées touristiques. La valorisation des ressources par voix numérique, certes, est une action conservatrice, mais qui manque de pratique concrète sur le terrain. Le patrimoine médiatisé gagne en valorisation cependant, il perd de son état de conservation s'il y a un manque d'intervention. La sauvegarde du patrimoine industriel ne se considère pas prioritaire aujourd'hui pour L'Algérie, malgré cette richesse non exploitée qui se trouve en péril si aucune action de protection n'est engagée. Cette réalité observée est due en grande partie au détachement de la société de la mémoire des lieux que portent ces minoteries algériennes. Comment pourrait-on créer ou améliorer l'attachement entre société et minoterie par vois numérique?
L'objectif de ce présent article est la construction symbolique d'une mémoire et d'histoire personnelle propre aux minoteries algériennes du XIXe et XXe siècle. Une démarche introductive a un attachement social, attribuant à ces minoteries l'aspect patrimonial d'une construction sociale au sein de la société actuelle.La méthode adoptée est la recherche-action participative, conjuguant intervention sociale et médiation mémorielle par le biais de l'outil numérique. Sur une plate-forme assemblant pédagogie, formation et travail, un programme touchant tous les groupes d'âge sera établi et lancé en premier sur les directions pédagogiques de l'enseignement, de la classe primaire à l'université, rendant cette plate-forme un espace de référence. Les liens sociaux unifiant les usagers avec leurs familles vont la faire émerger. Ce programme va contenir des formations et sorties lucratives sur terrain selon la tranche d'âge. La plate-forme quant à elle, aura la fonction de stocker et méditer l'histoire créée.
Cette méthode va influencer le niveau de fréquentation des minoteries ainsi la création d'une mémoire et d'histoire collectives des lieux aboutissant à un attachement social. Ensemble, les résultats attendus de cette démarche peuvent constituer un processus interactif de construction symbolique d'un patrimoine pour lequel il y avait peur ou pas d'histoire partagée avec la société. La catégorie la plus experte de la société bénéficiera d'un enseignement, et à long terme un attachement aux minoteries que la société avait à interagir et à créer sa propre histoire personnelle. Le traitement de l'information aujourd'hui est pris par la fascination de la technologie. Le numérique gagne du terrain, et son expansion peut être utilisée comme élément d'analyse et expertise communicationnel œuvrant pour la qualité mémorielle de la société.
Abstract. Sacrifice, as a social phenomenon, is as old as mankind and is found in almost all cultures. Related to this, the main goal of this paper is to explore the social and historical relation of women's sacrifice in the honour of morale code, then analyzing mediatisation of this phenomenon in the present days. Cultural heritage monuments are such not just because they preserve the object, but also because they are covered with legends and stories. This paper will present three cases of Kosovo's cultural heritage monuments, which are related only to women. The first one is about the Girls' Fortress in Prizren. The fortress took this name because of two legends which were related to women. The second monument filled up in legend is the tomb and mosque of Xhylfatyn in Peja. It is a rare example of a woman's sacrifice for her husband who was an army officer, and whose metamorphosis is on the bridge. The third monument is also related to the act of sacrifice, it represents the sacrifice of a woman who made possible constructing the Holy Bridge which links Gjakova to Rahovec; it is similar to the legend of sacrifice for objects construction which may be encountered in many cultures. All these stories about these legends are also published in the Kosovo's media and the paper analyses the ways they are presented in media. The qualitative research based on case studies, interviews and observation constitutes researching methods for this paper.
Abstract. Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill is one of the most recognizable figures in modern history. The former British Prime Minister occupied numerous roles during his lifetime – a politician, writer, laureate of the Nobel Prize for Literature, historian. However, for the purpose of this article we have focused on one of Churchill's most prominent roles – an excellent orator. The former Prime Minister has been remembered for giving superior speeches that during the war period gave people hope and courage. Churchill found good rhetoric as a remedy for every concern and as the most potent weapon against the enemy. A few well-chosen words wrapped into persuasive arguments that go together with excellent delivery can persuade even the most diehard defeatists. The following article constitutes the retrospective analysis of speeches given by Winston Churchill during the war period (1938–1945). The analysis focuses on the very content of the speeches, not their register. Therefore, we have not analyzed the applied rhetorical devices but the used arguments. The speeches have been analyzed according to the method of textual markers introduced by Piotr Chruszczewski in 2003. According to this method, the analyzed text is divided into small, consistent fragments which correspond to one strand. The fragments are then described by markers that constitute the models of the arguments that were used by the speaker. The social embedding of the analyzed speeches required coming up with additional models of arguments.
Abstract. Cemeteries as delimited areas, arranged according to certain rules, equipped with the set of selected elements, are like a mirror, which reflects the various aspects of the activity of the society that creates them. The aim of the article is to present the suggested way of describing cemetery space, as well as to decipher the information included in gravestone inscriptions (perceived as a linguistic statement). The analysis concerns the following types of necropolises: local, religious, as well as – treated as a new phenomenon in the Polish sepulchral customs – animal and virtual ones.
Abstract: This article aims to analyze the extent to which the authorities of eighteen Polish cities with the status of provincial capitals use ICT to stimulate local civil dialogue. The quantitative analysis of the content of Internet media managed by local self-government institutions shows that over 80% of the aforementioned cities have not implemented an integrated online system, which would allow residents to report current local problems and obtain feedback concerning these issues. The analysis of online tools utilized during public consultations indicated that the most frequently adopted mechanisms are those, which not only exclude the in-depth dialogue between authorities and citizens but also deprive residents of a chance to respond to opinions of other members of the local community. An analogous situation also occurs during participatory budgeting, the formula of which includes the involvement of citizens at an early stage of a decision-making process. While residents of almost three-fourths of the analyzed cities can submit proposals of budgetary tasks via the Internet, only every fourth provincial capital uses online tools allowing residents to comment on the aforementioned projects. This situation should be perceived as a part of a broader problem – the vast majority of the analyzed cities have not even made an attempt at using ICT to establish a platform enabling a permanent, bilateral exchange of ideas and opinions between residents and local policymakers.
anti-structure and explains that the affix has been used strategically and does not imply radical negation. This paper seeks to revise the one-dimensional attitude towards anti-language and fortify its social significance with a new quality. The basis for the study of anti-language has been its multi-functionality and multifaceted character. A modest corpus of anti-languages has been analysed in order to illustrate a complex and polysemic nature of this phenomenon.
Abstract. This paper, being a part of a bigger project1, aims at identifying linguistic features of American political discourse on the basis of Hillary Clinton's first debate speech from the 2016 presidential campaign in the United States2. It begins by explaining the notion of discourse and depicting its relation to power. Then, the applied methodology is presented. It is made up of three components, namely a pragmatic analysis on the basis of deixis and presupposition, Critical Discourse Analysis according to the framework elaborated by Norman Fairclough, as well as quantitative research that aims at examining top phrases with the highest frequency. The paper finishes by presenting the results of the analysis and indicating possibilities for further research.

Abstract. Only five presidential messages led to formally declared wars in the history of the USA. While attempting to shed some light on the role of discourse in the origins of armed conflicts, the contribution explores a selection of textual aspects of war discourse on the basis of President Woodrow Wilson's Address to Congress Requesting a Declaration of War Against Germany. The address is analysed in the context of the remaining four presidential messages delivered before the formally declared wars by J. Madison, J. Polk, W. McKinley and F. D. Roosevelt. The first section of the paper1 gives a short description of the relevant theoretical foundations of the analysis. In the second section the methodological underpinnings of the analysis are established (Fairclough, 1992; Chruszczewski, 2002). The problematic of readability of texts is introduced and it is followed by the introduction of the typology of arguments devised by Chruszczewski (2003). In the third section the analysis of the presidential speech is preceded by a brief overview of Wilson's presidency. Following the presentation of the results of the readability test, the structure of a general model of argument development is presented and the results of the analysis are discussed with focus on the semantic content of Wilson's Address as well as on the reasons for the continual increase in the readability of the five consecutive presidential war messages.
The research may cover communication studies, political and sociological studies, public relations, semiotics, linguistics, anthropology, or translation studies.

Super Bowl XLIX Recap: Drive One ‒ Finding Tharold Simon
New England Patriots NFL Offense NFL Playoffs NFL Recaps Seattle Seahawks
Mark Schofield
On the New England Patriots' third drive of Super Bowl XLIX against the Seattle Seahawks, the Patriots made finding Tharold Simon their priority. With Simon replacing the injured starter, Tom Brady and his receivers went right down the field for their first points of the game by picking on the backup.
The Patriots open the drive on their own 35-yard line. With Tom Brady in the shotgun, New England lines up with their 11 personnel in a 1 x 3 alignment. Rob Gronkowski is in-line on the right with both Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola split wide, while Brandon LaFell is a solo receiver to the left using a tight split from left tackle Nate Solder. Seattle responds with their nickel defense showing Cover 1 in the secondary:
Amendola motions from right to left, setting up an inverted slot formation to the left. Cornerback Byron Maxwell trails Amendola, revealing man coverage:
[jwplayer file="http://cdn.insidethepylon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TDDriveOnePlayOneVideoOne.mp4″ image="http://cdn.insidethepylon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TDDriveOnePlayOneVideoOneStill.jpg"]
After the snap, Brady delivers the football to Amendola on the bubble screen with Solder and center Bryan Stork pulling toward the boundary:
This play succeeds because of the blocking in the secondary.
First, Solder engages with Maxwell while LaFell locks up with Simon (#27). The left tackle predictably swallows the cornerback but, as Amendola cuts to the outside, watch LaFell turn Simon to the middle of the field and seal the edge:
[jwplayer file="http://cdn.insidethepylon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TDDriveOnePlayOneVideoTwo.mp4″ image="http://cdn.insidethepylon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TDDriveOnePlayOneVideoTwoStill.jpg"]
Earl Thomas runs the receiver out of bounds, but not before the Patriots have a 15-yard gain and a fresh set of downs.
Later in the drive, New England faced a 3rd and 9 on the Seattle 35-yard line – right on the cusp of field goal range. Brady aligns in the shotgun, this time with 12 personnel on the field. LaFell and Edelman are in a slot to the left while Gronkowski and Tim Wright use a pro alignment to the right. The Seahawks nickel defense is on the field showing Cover 1 in the secondary – and a double A gap blitz:
Just before the snap, Edelman motions inside, setting up a stack-slot look at the beginning of the play. This alignment forces Simon to shift into catch-man positioning, four yards off the line of scrimmage:
[jwplayer file="http://cdn.insidethepylon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TDDriveOnePlayTwoVideoOne.mp4″ image="http://cdn.insidethepylon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TDDriveOnePlayTwoVideoOneStill.jpg"]
Edelman runs a crossing route and, because of his pre-snap alignment (and Simon's adjustment), the receiver begins with a head-start on the defender. Simon cannot close the gap quickly enough and Brady delivers a perfect throw. Edelman breaks away from the diving attempt by Simon and scampers a 23-yard gain:
[jwplayer file="http://cdn.insidethepylon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TDDriveOnePlayTwoVideoTwo.mp4″ image="http://cdn.insidethepylon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TDDriveOnePlayTwoVideoTwoStill.jpg"]
The catch-and-run gives New England a 1st and 10 at the Seattle 12-yard line. Following a one-yard run from LeGarrette Blount, Brady sets up in the shotgun with 11 personnel on the field with LaFell and Amendola lined up in the left slot, #80 on the inside, while Gronkowski and Edelman are in a pro formation to the right. Seattle again uses their nickel defense, now showing their usual Cover 3. The Patriots will run a post/out combination route on the left side: Amendola breaks to the sideline while LaFell runs a skinny post route:
The out route from the slot receiver pulls Maxwell to the boundary as LaFell gets inside leverage on his post route against Simon. This gives Brady a big window to find his receiver, and the Patriots open the scoring:
[jwplayer file="http://cdn.insidethepylon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TDDriveOnePlayThreeVideo.mp4″ image="http://cdn.insidethepylon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TDDriveOnePlayThreeStill.jpg"]
The Seattle secondary entered Super Bowl XLIX with a number of injuries, and the first quarter of the game added to that list. New England's first scoring drive of the game was an example of a team attacking a reserve player pressed into action due to injury. On each of these plays, the Patriots exploited the situation by finding Tharold Simon in the passing game for a big play – or a score.

Post WW II
United States Enacts the Lend-Lease Bill: January 1941-June 1941
by the editors of Legacy Publishers
World War II Timeline: March 5, 1941-March 27, 1941
In March 1941 Yugoslavia, under intense pressure from Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, joined the Axis powers. This and other important World War II events from March 1941 are summarized in the World War II timeline below.
World War II Timeline: March 5-March 27
March 5: Britain breaks all diplomatic ties with Bulgaria.
March 6: In his Battle of the Atlantic Directive, Winston Churchill underscores the importance of neutralizing U-boats and aerial assaults on British shipping.
British shipping in the Mediterranean faces a new obstacle, as Nazi Germany begins to pepper the Suez Canal with aircraft-delivered acoustic magnetic mines.
March 12: Franklin Roosevelt asks Congress for $7 billion in military credits to Britain under the new Lend-Lease law.
March 13: Realizing that success in Greece is dependent on an ability to move troops through Yugoslavia, Adolf Hitler steps up pressure on the Yugoslav government to join the Axis.
Glasgow, Scotland, is hit by its first significant air raid of the war. More than 230 Luftwaffe planes hit the Scottish city with hundreds of tons of explosives and tens of thousands of incendiary devices.
March 20: U.S. Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles informs the Soviet ambassador of an intelligence report with the plan for the German attack on the Soviet Union.
March 23: German U-boats are dominating the Battle of the Atlantic, sinking more than 59,000 tons of British shipping in the past week alone.
March 25: In advance of any action in the Baltic States, some 60,000 ethnically German people from Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania have been resettled on German territory.
Facing German occupation, Yugoslavia formally joins the Axis and agrees to the provisions of the Tripartite Pact.
March 27: Yugoslavia throws a wrench into Adolf Hitler's plans when military officers, demanding a neutral Yugoslavia, overthrow the government that capitulated to the Axis, and place a teenaged King Peter II on the throne.
World War II Headlines
Below are more images and headlines depicting World War II events and the Axis aggression of 1941.
Britain wins Battle of Cape Matapan: A Royal Navy Fairey Fulmar flies air cover over the British fleet at the Battle of Cape Matapan off Crete on March 27-29, 1941. The combined force of British Royal Navy and Australian Navy ships protecting convoys bound for Greece engaged an Italian naval force. The heaviest fighting occurred after dark on March 28. Aided by radar, which the Italian ships lacked, British warships sent three enemy heavy cruisers and two destroyers to the bottom with heavy loss of life. Britain lost only a single torpedo bomber. After the battle, the Italians temporarily conceded the eastern Mediterranean to the British, who could now concentrate more on the fighting in North Africa.
Clydebank, Scotland takes heavy hits from German bombers: Because Clydebank, Scotland, with its vast areas of dockland, lay so far north, its citizens dared to hope that they were safely beyond the range of German bombers. However, on the nights of March 13-14 and 14-15, they were disabused of any such hopes when 400 bombers dropped more than 500 tons of high-explosive bombs and 2,400 incendiaries on Clydebank. In addition to devastating the docks, only eight of 12,000 houses escaped damage. Approximately 35,000 people became homeless and more than 1,000 were killed. The resulting fires were visible 100 miles away.
Italy wins, loses Abyssinia: In 1936 Benito Mussolini's expansionist ambitions resulted in Italy's defeat of Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia) and the exile of Emperor Haile Selassie. A repressive Italian regime ensued, prompting increasing civil unrest. Meanwhile, beginning in 1940, Abyssinia provided a strategic base for Italy's successful operations against Sudan, Kenya, and British Somaliland. Accordingly, although heavily outnumbered, British and Commonwealth forces launched their East African Campaign in November 1940, decisively defeating the Italian occupiers by April 1941. Abyssinian troops played an important part in the campaign.

Italy's Incursions in East Africa
In 1935 Italy invaded and occupied the independent kingdom of Ethiopia (formerly Abyssinia), forcing Emperor Haile Selassie into exile in Britain. Italy's entry into World War II in June 1940 brought Italian East Africa into a theater of war.
That summer, the Italians attacked the British colonies of the Sudan and Kenya and occupied British Somaliland. British (mainly African and Indian) forces faced a larger and apparently better equipped Italian army, though the Italians were cut off from resupply because of Britain's hold on Egypt.
Late in 1940, British forces advanced into Abyssinia from eastern Sudan and from northern Kenya. Meanwhile, the "Gideon Force" (British, Sudanese, and Ethiopian soldiers) under the charismatic Orde Wingate fought a guerrilla war against the Italian occupation troops. Despite early setbacks (due largely to Italian air superiority), the British soon gained the initiative thanks to the code-breakers of Bletchley Park, who read Italian messages.
Italy's fortunes continued to wane. On the Red Sea coast, British naval forces from Aden retook British Somaliland. In March 1941, the Italians decisively lost the Battle of Keren in mountainous terrain in Eritrea. Also, Wingate's troops achieved striking success in central Abyssinia. In early April, a British-Indian-African and South African force advancing from Kenya entered the Abyssinian city of Addis Ababa. By the end of the year, the isolated Italian forces had to surrender.

Q: URL.openStream very slow I'm downloading a picture on a android device from a SQL database; Everything works well, except that opening the Stream takes very long time (even if there is no picture to download). It takes approx 5 sec's before the actual download starts. Here is my code snippet:
URL url = new URL(sUrl[0]);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.connect();

int fileLength = connection.getContentLength();

//input = connection.getInputStream();
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());

File file = new File(
        Environment
                .getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES),
        "MyCameraApp" + "/testpic.jpg");
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(file);
byte data[] = new byte[1024];

//---blabla progressbar update etc..

The line InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream()); gives the problem. Any idea's on how to speed things up?

A: That's the point at which the actual TCP connection is created. It's a network problem, not a coding problem. Nothing you can do in the code to fix it.

A: I use this code to get a bitmap from a url. :)
Bitmap bitmap = null;
    URL imageUrl = new URL(url);
    HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)imageUrl.openConnection();
    conn.setConnectTimeout(30000);
    conn.setReadTimeout(30000);
    InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
    OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(f);

try
{
   byte[] bytes=new byte[1024];
   for(;;)
   {
      int count=is.read(bytes, 0, 1024);
      if(count==-1)
         break;
      os.write(bytes, 0, count);
    }
 }
 catch(Exception ex){}
os.close();
bitmap = decodeFile(f);

A: You're calling url.openStream() when creating the InputStream, but prior to that you're creating a new connection and calling connection.connect().
From the android JavaDoc: openStream() is "Equivalent to openConnection().getInputStream(types)"
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/URL.html#openStream()
In summary I think you should call connection.getInputStream() when initialising the InputStream.

Whatever the truth might be, Ahri had made up her mind. Ahri leaned over a fallen woodcutter in a stone cavern, consuming his life.
