Q: How to log data in console/webjob output and on azure apps service with application insights I am using webjobs v3 with HostBuilder.
How do I have to configure the logger that I can use a telemetryClient to tracktrace data which is visible in the console output AND visible in the azure app service
this webjob is running on?
I would like to get a ILogger instance which logs to console AND azure.
this line of code:
 var logger = host.Services.GetRequiredService<ILogger<Program>>();
            logger.LogInformation("I log only in the console but not azure.");

DOES not send its data to azure application insights charts...
I do NOT want to use the ILogger AND the telemetryclient to log stuff that would be stupid.
var builder = new HostBuilder()
                .UseEnvironment("Development")
                .ConfigureWebJobs(b =>
                {
                    // Add extensions and other WebJobs services
                })
                .ConfigureAppConfiguration(b =>
                {

                    // Add configuration sources
                })
                .ConfigureLogging((context, b) =>
                {
                    // Add Logging Providers
                    b.AddConsole();

                    // If this key exists in any config, use it to enable App Insights
                    string appInsightsKey = context.Configuration["APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY"]; // taken from the appservice environmentvariable

                    appInsightsKey = "xxxxxxxx";

                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(appInsightsKey))
                    {
                        // This uses the options callback to explicitly set the instrumentation key.
                        b.AddApplicationInsights(o => o.InstrumentationKey = appInsightsKey);
                    }
                })
                .UseConsoleLifetime();

            var host = builder.Build();

            // my code like telemetryClient.TrackTrace("show this text in console output AND azure app service where this webjob belongs to")

            using (host)
            {
                host.Run();
            }

A: Please correct me if I misunderstand you.
For "I would like to get a ILogger instance which logs to console AND azure", I'm using the code below:
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var builder = new HostBuilder()
                .ConfigureWebJobs(b =>
                {
                    b.AddAzureStorageCoreServices();
                    b.AddAzureStorage();
                })
                .ConfigureAppConfiguration(b =>
                {

                }
                )
                .ConfigureLogging((context, b) =>
                {

                    b.AddConsole();
                    string instrumentationKey = context.Configuration["APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY"];
                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(instrumentationKey))
                    {
                        b.AddApplicationInsights(o => o.InstrumentationKey = instrumentationKey);
                    }
                })
                .UseConsoleLifetime();

            var host = builder.Build();

            var logger = host.Services.GetRequiredService<ILogger<Program>>();
            logger.LogInformation("hello 111111111111111");

            using (host)
            {
                host.Run();
            }
        }

After running the code, the message is logged in console and app insights in azure portal:


The team shrugged off their difficulties with a prestigious win in the Euroleague, confirming their top spot in their group. Jawai (22 points and 12 rebounds) and Ingles (20 points) were the stars of the show for Barça.
With Mickeal, Navarro, Oleson or Tomic and with Rabasseda injured during the game, Barça Regal beat Montepaschi in Siena on Friday evening. Despite the injuries and the fact that they had already ensured top spot, the team put in an inspired performance led by the sensational Nathan Jawai and Joe Ingles and ended with a comfortable win against a Montepaschi who were fighting for their lives.
Despite the injury to Rabaseda at the start of the second quarter, Barça began to impose their iron defence on the game and two scores from Abrines gave them the lead for the first time on 13 minutes and as the quarter continued, they stretched that to 40-35 at the break with Huertas and the immense Jawai joining Ingles in the scoring stakes.
With a series of spectacular scores, Jawai continued to dominate in the third quarter, as Barça moved into a 45-54 lead on 23 minutes. The hosts had lost their ability to score the three pointers and with Joe Ingles again racking up the points, Barça led by 11 points (52-63) on 28 minutes, as the whole team chipped in.
Going into the final quarter 10 points adrift, the Italians made one final push and made it a five point game (65-70) with four minutes to play as the home crowd put on the pressure, but Wallace proved his worth and although the lead did slip to just three points, a score from Marcelinho and Jawai – 22 points and 12 rebounds – guided Barça through to a well deserved win.


The following procedure describes how to set up a basic iSCSI target on an Oracle Linux system by using block storage backends. Note that you can use other storage backend types to set up an iSCSI target.
When you use the targetcli command, it saves the current configuration to the JSON-format file /etc/target/saveconfig.json. See the targetcli(8) manual page for additional information.
Created block storage object LUN_0 using /dev/sdb.
Created block storage object LUN_1 using /dev/sdc.
The names that you assign to the storage objects are arbitrary.
The device path varies, based on the Oracle Linux instance's disk configuration.
If you omit the TCP port number, the default value is 3260.
In this case, first delete the default portal, then repeat Step 5 to create the new portal.
Demonstration mode is inherently insecure. For information about configuring secure authentication modes, see http://linux-iscsi.org/wiki/ISCSI#Define_access_rights.
Change to the root directory and save the configuration.
Saving the configuration and enabling the target service ensures that the changes persist across system reboots. Note also that failure to run these commands can result in an empty configuration.


Every so often, someone will ask me about writing. Some think it's a gift from the heavens. These people believe some of us are born writers like some of us are born to be seven feet tall.
Height, eye color and the joy of baldness are genetic. I think writing, like most sports techniques, is a skill that takes hours, days and years to just get in the right direction (write direction?).
For me, the process of writing is exactly like preparing for a contest or trying to achieve any other kind of goal.
But first, let's talk about how I got here.
My interest in writing, as everything in life, begins with a story. It was 1970 and the world was a different place. Simon and Garfunkel and The Beatles split the year before, and we hadn't even heard of Watergate yet. It's funny to think that many of the political conservatives were long-haired, dope-smoking revolutionaries back then.
In my house, we had two Vietnam Vets (both had been called "Baby Killers" and "Animals" at various times), who were dealing with the injuries of the war. The troubles nationally and internationally brewed in our home, but so did my father's first signs of lung issues and his escalating personal problems.
If you don't mind a moment of cynicism, I just realized I grew up in an ideal breeding ground for an author.
After years of very strict traditional Catholic education, my seventh grade year (the best three years of my life!) heralded some changes in education. We still read the Great Books and memorized everything as the pillars of education, but now we had some freedom to explore things a bit. We were given something called an "Open Writing" assignment.
For those of us in salt and pepper corduroy pants, white shirts and green uniform sweaters, this was stunning. We were allowed to write what we wanted to write about?
After reading my paper out loud, my teacher, an Irish nun, said something I have never heard before: a compliment.
I had never heard something positive in my life, save for perhaps about my naturally curly hair.
And, sadly, that's the truth.
She may not have been a fortuneteller, but she guessed the future. She was right, if you consider that my books sell very well, I write for several magazines and I make most of my living as a writer.
Thomas Plummer likes to joke: "Dan John is an overnight success. It just took him 45 years to do it." Sister Eugenia was right; it just took a bit of work and effort to become a born writer.
And, I can pay my insurance.
That one god who doesn't like you did it!
Geometric proofs, those hated assignments from high school math, are the cornerstone of my writing. It might not always be apparent.
When I coach, I spend a lot of time discussing people's Givens. This is why we assess: Hey! This is what you are and what we're working with!
When I coach track and field, your Givens are your body, your situation and your personal record. From there, we can look at improving—imProving—your performance.
When I write, I begin with the Given: what is established, what do we all know, what do all agree on (basically) and what needs to be improved.
Yes, I begin first with a problem.
We are doing far too much here and ignoring the real problem there.
Is there a better way to teach, learn and coach this problem (generally movements)?
Can we connect and combine things to make things more efficient or synergistic?
You could probably make a "Dan John Article Generator" by linking these three questions with two columns: Tools and Fundamental Human Movements.
Actually, I think most of my work actually does simply that!
I arrange my writing as job with a slavish master. Ebenezer Scrooge, before the happy ending, is a good theme for what I imagine.
My wife Tiffini has an early day with her schedule, so we get the alarm before the sun wakes up.
I'm proactive to a fault, so the coffee is always set the night before we go to bed. I like to clear out my basic emails first and, honestly, answering a few questions is a good way to warm up the writing muscles.
One thing that really helps me is a rule I have: I don't eat anything until all the writing for the day is finished. Usually, it takes me about three hours to finish everything and, by then, it's 9:30 and my Intentional Community (our daily training group) is at the door. So, I "intermittent fast" daily, but really it's just not eating until the work and the workout are finished.
"Not eating" is what I really do and it allows me to focus on the task at hand. I have weekly, monthly and quarterly writing commitments, so I have to get it done. There's nothing wrong with food, but ignoring it seems to make me stay much more focused.
The tradition in most religious communities is "First the fast, then the Feast." I model this daily as I crank out (using the Dan John Article Generator!) my columns, articles and books.
But, the grind of writing has to be balanced with the joy of reading, watching and learning.
One thing I strongly recommend for writers is continuing education of some kind. I read a lot in the field of fitness, both online and on paper in the form of books and magazines. This can open some doors for me, of course, but what really helps is reading outside the field.
I mix older works with recent materials fairly seamlessly. It might be my Great Books background, but I find comfort in reading translations like Gilgamesh, Beowulf and The Odyssey. It's fun to mix a classic with Chad Harbach's Art of Fielding or Paul Murray's Skippy Dies. I see both of these books marching with the great themes of Classics like love, death and the afterlife.
In addition, and I have no financial interest in this company, I buy classes from The Great Courses. Oddly, studying the great tacticians of history seemed to help me see the difference between achieving a goal and achieving success (it's not the same thing!). I can listen or watch great professors discuss the Arthurian legends or how to understand wine while I'm doing laundry, prepping dinner or doing any light chores.
You might think everyone understood what you said. They didn't.
Most people don't know that I had a weekly column in a newspaper for ten years. Fortunately, the late Jack Shroeder was the proofreader. After one of my early columns, he came up to my office and sat across from me. He never mentioned that he was the former editor of a major newspaper and that he knew John F. Kennedy.
So, I told you my story. I told you how I got here as a writer.
Now, we need to hear yours.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced the U2040 X-Series wide dynamic range power sensors, consisting of four USB models for wireless and radar applications, and a dedicated LAN model for satellite testing. With the world's widest dynamic range found in a power sensor and extremely high measurement speed, the U2040 X-Series makes fast, accurate and repeatable power measurements over a wide range of power levels, allowing engineers to improve productivity and lower cost of test.
The U2040 X-Series' 96 dB dynamic range, spanning -70 dBm to +26 dBm, enables accurate power measurements of very small signals, critical for applications such as wireless chipset and power amplifier module manufacturing. With the new average mode time selectivity feature, users are able to make both average and time selectivity average power measurements across the full 96 dB dynamic range. This is a significant improvement when compared to conventional power sensors, which often limit time-gated dynamic range measurements at around 50 dB.
With a measurement speed of up to 10,000 readings per second in fast/buffer mode, the U2040 X-Series measures continuously in real time and keeps pace with very fast pulses, up to 10 kHz pulse repetition frequency (PRF). While conventional sensors only provide a snapshot of continuous pulses, leaving dead time where glitches can slip by unnoticed, U2040 X-Series sensors measure every continuous pulse without leaving time gaps in between measurement acquisitions.
The U2040 X-Series provides broadband coverage for any modulated signal, and covers all common wireless signal formats such as LTE, LTE-Advanced with 100 MHz bandwidth, and WLAN 802.11ac with 80/160 MHz bandwidth. Built-in radar and wireless presets allow faster test set up, and for data capture and analysis, engineers can use the Keysight BenchVue software, which is bundled free of charge with each sensor.
The U2049XA LAN power sensor achieves a number of industry firsts: 1) it is the world's first thermal vacuum compliant (TVAC) power sensor; and 2) it is the first power sensor to come with LAN/Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity.
U2049XA sensors with the thermal vacuum compliance option are subjected to temperature cycling in a vacuum chamber, and are created using components with minimal outgassing properties. The LAN-based sensor overcomes the cable length limitations associated with USB connectivity and is suitable for distances up to 100 meters. Together with best-in-class long term drift performance and a frequency range of 10 MHz to 33 GHz, the U2049XA is ideal for fault detection and long distance, remote monitoring of satellite systems.

State Police ID body as missing Tuckerton clammer
Katie Park, and Alex N. Gecan
The body of a clammer who went missing two weeks into the year was discovered months later and identified as 45-year-old Christopher Hugg of Tuckerton, police said.
Found April 28 on Middle Island in the Barnegat Bay, Hugg died from drowning and no foul play is suspected, said Alejandro Goez, a trooper and spokesman for the State Police. The Ocean County Mosquito Control Commission found the body and notified State Police.
ALSO: Body recovered on Barnegat Bay island
The Hugg family was notified, Goez said.
Hugg was reported missing Jan. 12 by his family, who said he had taken his boat out around the Hither Channel.
His boat, a 18-foot Bowrider, was found with some clamming gear, but Hugg was nowhere to be seen, prompting a search from the U.S. Coast Guard, State Police and Tuckerton officials.
ALSO: Lakewood warns 140 teachers their jobs are in jeopardy
"We offer our condolences to the family and friends affected by this tragedy," Capt. Benjamin Cooper, commander of Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay, said in a statement around the time Hugg was reported missing. "Suspending a search is never an easy decision for rescuers."

Business Insider – California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder said employers should be able to ask women if and when they plan to get pregnantEstimated Reading Time: just 2 min
FILE – In this July 13, 2021, file photo, conservative radio talk show host Larry Elder speaks to supporters during a campaign stop in Norwalk, Calif. Elder was not on the list of candidates released Saturday in the recall election that could end the term of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Republican Larry Elder defended an employer's right to ask about pregnancy in a 2002 book.
Elder, who is running for governor of California, doubled down on his beliefs Wednesday.
"Government should not be intruding into the relationship between employer and employee," he said.
Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder, a Republican frontrunner in California's governor race, doubled down on past comments he made defending employers asking women if and when they plan to get pregnant.
Elder, who is running in the recall election to unseat Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, expressed his views on the subject in the 2002 book "Showdown: Confronting Bias, Lies, and the Special Interests that Divide America," Media Matters reported last week.
In the book, Elder wrote: "Are there legitimate business reasons for a venture capitalist to ask a female entrepreneur whether and when she intends to have children? Hell, yes."

He compared it to a sports team forbidding its players from taking part in "hazardous conduct not related to their sport."
"Call it protecting an investment," he added.
He also suggested women who have kids aren't "committed" to work, Media Matters reported.
When asked about the comments by the Associated Press on Wednesday, Elder stood by his past statements, responding, "government should not be intruding into the relationship between employer and employee."
It is illegal under state and federal laws for an employer in the US to discriminate based on pregnancy. Asking about pregnancy is not illegal, though it could be seen as evidence if discrimination later occurs.
Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, another leading GOP candidate in the recall election, ripped into his opponent over the comments.
Faulconer retweeted Elder's remarks, adding: "Every undecided voter – pay attention. These are not California values. These are not Republican, Democrat, or independent values. Larry Elder is doubling down on his attacks on working women and California families."
-Kevin Faulconer (@Kevin_Faulconer) August 18, 2021
There are 46 candidates in California's 2021 recall election, which takes place on September 14. Other well-known GOP candidates include retired gold-medal Olympian Caitlyn Jenner and businessman John Cox.
Polls show Elder in the lead if Californians do decide to recall Newsom. A recent poll conducted by the University of California, Berkeley found voters are nearly evenly split, with 50% who oppose recalling Newsom and 47% in support, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Twelve Angry Staffers
A dozen current and former accounting staffers at New York's Shearman & Sterling have sued the firm, claiming racial discrimination. But the litigation got off to a faltering start, thanks to opposition from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which not only declined to take up the plaintiffs' cause, but took the unusual step of issuing a detailed rebuttal of the claims.

A dozen current and former accounting staffers at New York's Shearman & Sterling have sued the firm, claiming racial discrimination. For the plaintiffs there may be strength in numbers. But the litigation got off to a faltering start, thanks to opposition from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In a federal suit filed in Manhattan in November and a related state claim filed in August, the plaintiffs — 11 African Americans and one Hispanic — claim that Shearman's controller, Kenneth Johnsen, systematically discriminated against minorities in his department. Although the federal suit accuses the firm itself of "paying white employees markedly higher salaries for performing the same functions in the same job titles as minority employees," the only lawyer mentioned in the complaint is Shearman's diversity management attorney, Anna Brown. One plaintiff alleges that she brought the complaints about the accounting division to Brown. The next day, the suit claims, Johnsen ignored the would-be plaintiff altogether, "leading her to believe that her confidences had not been kept by Brown." In August, however, the defense got at least a psychic boost when the EEOC took the unusual step of issuing a detailed rebuttal of the claims. Shearman took heart that the EEOC didn't simply green-light the case for court, as it usually does when it declines to take up a plaintiff's cause. "We agree with the EEOC that none of the complaints is supported by the facts," says firm spokesman Ed Burke. The plaintiffs' lawyer, though, is undeterred. "Even though there is no smoking gun found, it doesn't mean there's no merit to your claim," says Harvey Mars of New York's Leibowitz & Mars. But it does mean that Mars has his work cut out for him in convincing a jury — if he gets that far.

We are announcing the preview availability of Construction IQ, our machine learning and AI capability for BIM 360 that delivers risk analysis of quality and safety data.
Very often we deal with small variations of designs: slightly different size, or shape, material. As a result, a lot of work invested in routine of creating alike models, instead of true engineering or innovation.
62% of construction professionals transfer field data manually or via spreadsheets. Why? They don't have a platform to connect, organize and optimize their construction projects.
If you are transitioning from AutoCAD to Inventor, if you are an Autodesk Product Design and Manufacturing Collection (PDMC) Customer, or if you are collaborating in a mixed 2D to 3D workflow, you'll want to know how to reuse 2D AutoCAD geometry.

Uric acid is a product produced by the body after the purines in many foods undergo the digestive process and are broken down inside the body. It is a heterocyclic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen with the formula C5H4N4O3. It forms ions and salts known as urates and acid urates, such as ammonium acid urate.
It is produced by the breakdown of amino acids in the liver. Uric acid is also produced in small quantities in humans by the breakdown of purines, and elevated levels in the blood can lead to gout. Uric acid is a product of the metabolic breakdown of purine nucleotides, and it is a normal component of urine.
Properties of Uric Acid
Uric Acid is a white tasteless odorless crystalline product of protein metabolism, found in the blood and urine, as well as trace amounts found in the various organs of the body. It can build up and form stones or crystals in various disease states. It is a heterocyclic purine derivative that is the final oxidation product of purine metabolism. It is produced by the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which oxidizes oxypurines such as xanthine into uric acid. In most mammals, except humans and higher primates, the enzyme uricase further oxidizes uric acid to allantoin. Uric acid is also the end product of nitrogen metabolism in birds and reptiles. In such species, it is excreted in feces as a dry mass.
Humans produce only small quantities of uric acid with excess accumulation leading to a type of arthritis known as gout. The loss of uricase in higher primates parallels the similar loss of the ability to synthesize ascorbic acid vitamin C. This may be because in higher primates uric acid partially replaces ascorbic acid.
Uric acid is a diprotic acid with pKa1 = 5.4 and pKa2 = 10.3. Thus in strong alkali at high pH, it forms the dually-charged full urate ion, but at biological pH or in the presence of bicarbonate ions, it forms the singly-charged hydrogen urate or acid urate ion. As its second ionization is so weak, the full urate salts hydrolyze back to hydrogen urate salts at pH values around neutral. It is aromatic because of conjugated pi bonding in both rings.
Problems of Uric Acid
Increased levels of uric acid can cause several different problems, and the potential development of gout is only one of them. Other problems concerning increased uric acid in the body can be the development and ultimate passage of kidney stones, an increase in our blood pressure on a regular basis leading to hypertension, or even the beginning of kidney failure in some rare instances.

Not much has changed in the approach that Deerfield Beach football coach Allen Jackson is taking with his team this year.
Deerfield Beach had an outstanding season last year as the Bucks had their first undefeated regular season, won the District 11-8A crown and earned its first playoff victory since 2008. After defeating Flanagan in overtime, 14-7, the Bucks fell 43-6 to Miramar in the regional semifinal.
Jackson knows he has his work cut out for his football team this season as the squad graduated its starting backfield from last year including running backs Brandon Powell (University o f Florida) , Aeron McNeil ( University of Alabama- Birmingham), quarterback Denard Graham (Garden City), along with wide receiver Justin Morgan (Lafayette).
Deerfield Beach will also rely on senior defensive end/tight end Jason Strowbridge and two-way lineman Montel Jordan, and addition to Antonio Cartagena, Jeffrey Joseph and James Pierre. Junior Aeron Cartagena is also expected to contribute.
"I see some big things and the goal is going to be the same," Jackson added. "We are not going to change that." This is Jackson's second time around at the school as he served a variety of titles, including D-Line coach, offensive coordinator and linebacker coach from 1990-2003. Before returning to Deerfield Beach, Jackson coached at Monarch for four seasons and at Coconut Creek for three years. He's been coaching football for 29 years.
Quarterback Jeffrey Joseph moves up from a JV team that went 7-1. Jackson said he is more of a pocket passer than Graham was.
Strowbridge, a 6-4, 250 lb. senior, said his game really took off after his freshman year. He is hopeful of another strong season this year. He said he studies NFL players and tries to model his game after them.
Jordan said the team would need to do what it did last year and be even more aggressive. He said there is a big difference between last year's squad and this year's version.
"Last year, we had more experience," Jordan said.
Thirty years ago this Labor Day weekend, I began my film writing studies under Peter Stowell, an English professor with Florida State University. I was taking the class Film Genres: Film Noir and the required reading was The Dark Side of the Screen: Film Noir, written by Foster Hirsch, who is a regular moderator with the Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival.
Beyond talking about cinematic motifs, acting and themes, Foster's book reviews the literary influences of Film Noir and how many of these stories grew out of the original pulp fiction of the early 20th Century.
Released in 2005, Sin City, considered "Neo Noir," was a natural extension of the literature of James Cain, Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, or the 1940s movies starring Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan and Barbara Stanwyck as the femme fatale. Created from the graphic novels written by Frank Miller, wunderkind director Robert Rodriquez used green screen techniques and hired an all-star cast to recreate the mean streets of Sin City. A Sin City sequel has been one of the most anticipated movies of the decade.
Alas, with Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, one thinks about the time Rodriquez wasted with projects like Grindhouse, Machete Kills and the Spy Kids reboot. As fans clamored for the Sin City sequel, we mourned the loss of cast members Brittany Murphy and Michael Clarke Duncan as Manute.
As the murderous henchman with impeccable manners, Dennis Haysbert does a commendable job as the younger version of Manute. His behemoth battle with Marv (Mickey Rourke) is better than what Frank Miller envisioned in his graphic novel. However, this is only one story of the four and there are stretches of dullness between each action set piece.
The movie opens with Another Saturday Night, which features Marv dealing with his amnesia and dead bodies. The film then introduces two new stories not produced as a graphic novel. In The Long Bad Night, Joseph Gordon Levitt plays a gambler with a death wish. The ghost of Bruce Willis returns in Nancy's Last Dance, in which Jessica Alba avenges the loss of her protector. Sadly, these new stories are just not as interesting as Frank Miller's original graphic novels.
Good Film Noir is a triumph of style over content. As Film Noir of the 1940s grew from literary giants, this "Neo Noir" has grown upon weak imitation of 1940s film noir. Sin City A Dame to Kill For does not live up to its potential.
For those seeking some literature before the professional football season begins, authors Darrell House, Rachel Galvin and I will be among the approximately 25 authors attending August Authors & Autographs this Sunday Afternoon at the Butler House. This event will feature the debut of my latest book, The Querulous Nights of Athena Minerva.

I have a somewhat different perspective to offer on the City of Deerfield Beach budget.
I am a risk management professional in the private sector.
Taken from a private sector view, the amazing job that Deerfield Beach city manager (Burgess Hanson) has done is even more apparent.
Do you realize that if the city were a private company and that private company went through what we have been through in the past five years, it could well be out of business? When the housing bubble burst, millions in tax revenue disappeared from our city income.
When Burgess took the helm, the prior city manager had spent $17 million out of the General Fund in just the prior two years.
That was when the public should have been up in arms.
Years ago, there were very few of us who stood up to object at the commission meetings.
Bill Ganz was one of us and that is when he decided to serve.
Thank you [now] Commissioner Ganz for the excellent job you have done as a member of the city commission and as the representative of my district.
Thank you Burgess and thank you to every member of the city commission (both now and in prior years) for making the hard choices that have made all the difference to our city.
I cannot imagine where we would be without the new revenue stream and the dramatic reductions in spending that had to happen when they did.
All you have to do is read the published budget or attend the budget workshops to know exactly where and how our tax revenue is now being spent.
What a welcome change it was to see real transparency in the published information. Another one of the big accomplishments of City Manager Hanson.
It took not only his abilities but teamwork on the part of the City Commission to get us out of the very dark days that we are now coming through.
Thank you again City Manager Hanson and thank you to every member of the Deerfield Beach City Commission.
In response to Mrs. Newberry, thank you for your letter.
Having written official reports as a Police Officer and EMT in Palm Beach County for over a decade, I found that very few people understood such official writings.
This is why I have tried to keep a more casual tone when it comes to [my] crime reports. I will do my best to be more official in the future.

Imagine God decided to break the covenant with humankind and flood the earth again. But this time, Noah's ark is big enough to hold all humanity. Everybody in the world would have another chance. Our fate would depend on everybody in the ark getting along!
This is a scary idea for several reasons, not the least of which is we would all be in the same boat. Because if we were all in the same boat, it would be hard to distinguish people jumping overboard on their own from people being thrown overboard by somebody else.
Ferguson, MO and what happened there is not new.
It is a sad sequel provided by the "Show Me State" that gives us a fresh peak under the rug … Another young man's life is tragically lost; another policeman's life is dreadfully wrecked. Families mourn, communities are torn, friends defend friends, looters loot and shooters shoot, politicians and, even clergy, scramble to grab a picket sign or a microphone when God only knows and understands.
What Paul is telling Christians in Rome is, "We all are already in the same boat …" Our boat is called planet earth and we all occupy this space under the same expectations of the same God. How 'bout we begin with that, hmm?
What are God's expectations of people of faith?
The answer to this question is key because if we satisfy God's expectations then tragedy like the one in Ferguson, Mo. will be averted. God's expectations are found, in part, in God's law: the Commandments, the Torah and the Holiness Code, and some would argue the entirety of the Holy Bible.
We need law, but when we see people use and abuse even God's law to establish or sustain their own ideas, their territory, their walls, their pockets, their expectations, then we begin to realize all of us have the capacity to miss the forest for the tree.
Our role as followers of Christ Jesus could not be clearer.
Yes, the president has a job to do. The Attorney General has a job to do. A governor, mayor, sheriff, prosecutor, defense attorney, journalist, a minister preaching the social gospel, a grand jury has a job to do. We all have a role to play, but the sooner we understand we are all in the same boat subject to the same expectations of the same God, the sooner these tragedies end.

Victoria Miyamoto likes to wear funny hats; but, when it comes to swimming, it is serious business for the Pompano Beach Piranhas swim team member.
Miyamoto, 14, of Boca Raton, competed in seven events for the local swim team in the recent Florida Gold Coast 14-Under Long Course Junior Olympics championship at the Plantation Aquatic Complex and finished in fourth place in the 13-14 girls high point standings. She said she wears the funny hats for good luck.
Miyamoto swam in seven individual races and one relay for the Piranhas.
The Junior Olympic swim meet featured more than 50 teams and 700 swimmers in Florida Gold Coast Swimming. The South Florida Aquatic Club (SOFLO) totaled 802 combined points to easily out-distance the runner-up North Palm Beach Swim Club (398 points) and Azura Florida Aquatic (349 points) to win its fifth consecutive Junior Olympics title. The South Florida Aquatic Club (SOFLO) also won both the girls (424) and boys (378) team overall titles.
The Pompano Beach Piranhas placed 14th overall with 133 points. Pompano Beach Piranhas placed 12th in the girls' standings with 59 points, while the boys' team tied for 10th in the boys with Plantation with 74 points.
Pompano Beach Piranhas head swim coach Jesse Vasallo brought 26 swimmers to the meet. He had hoped for a Top-10 finish, but knew it would be a difficult proposition.
Pompano Beach has shown steady improvement after going from 33rd place in its first year as a USA Swim team.
"I think we are doing alright," Vasallo said.
Other top performances from the local swim club came from Caroline Makara, Jake Schulte, Christian Henderson, Sloan Sizemore, Mia Marquez, Tyler Zuyus and Mattheus Santos.
While listening to Pop Radio hit music from 1974, Rocket Raccoon flies a spaceship. That sentence alone determines the litmus test for anyone interested in seeing Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Comics latest movie . While this new film fits right into the Marvel Comics Universe, it provides its own unique story that is very approachable.
The film opens with its darkest moment; young Peter Quill watches his mother die. The grieving boy steps out of hospice and is abducted by Yondu Udonta (Michael Rooker), a space pirate who knows secrets about Peter's father. The film fl ash forwards approximately three decades and Peter (Chris Pratt) is a space adventurer reminiscent of an Indiana Jones in his prime.
While seeking a special stone, Peter runs afoul Gamora (Zoe Saldana), a green alien with father issues. While stealing the stone from each other, both Gamora and Peter confront Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and his slow sidekick Groot (Vin Diesel, who earns the easiest paycheck for his vocal work in this movie).
As the stone changes hands and paws, Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) enters the scene to settle a score with Gamora. Despite deep seated anger, these five individuals form an alliance and call themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Unlike the genuine respect Captain America and the Falcon develop in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, these Guardians of the Galaxy seem to enjoy picking on each other. Rocket Raccoon has a perverse sense of humor. The brutal Drax the Destroyer inadvertently makes insulting comments about his peers. It is up to the leadership skills of Peter Quill to utilize conflict resolution with his peers.
Despite the over reliance of dark scenery and an over abundance of CGI, this film is an entertaining motion picture. The soundtrack from the '70s has become a hit again for young people. People my age were tapping their toes during the credits and dancing along with Groot.
While Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been the box office champ for the last two weeks, Guardians of the Galaxy is poised to take the box office crown for August. It's a cool movie to catch for a matinee price in an air conditioned movie theater.
I was asked by the president of Windwood Isles to spearhead a beautification effort related to Ed. Dietrich Sr. Avenue/SE 2 Avenue.
This letter is to inform you of the deplorable conditions of SE 2 Avenue, in specific, the grassy swales and the general upkeep and maintenance.
There are approximately 16 different condo developments along SE 2 Avenue, totaling over 1,000 homeowners, tax payers and voters. The point is, the entire avenue is a constant mess with trash, papers, soda cups and cans etc., all along the swales. It now looks worse than Dixie Highway used to look … It's embarrassing!
This same condition exists along SE 7 Street, with trash and school papers. Maybe someone could talk to the school principal!
You may recall, a while back, the mayor and another person worked on getting "No through truck signs" put up, and it's helping, but they still fly by, over the speed limit.
BSO is all over the School Zone speeders,* but do not enforce the other laws.
The bottom line is that we need a continued, ongoing effort by the city, the civic organization that adopted the street, and the owners. We also need our city commissioner to talk to the business owners and the empty lot owners about maintenance and periodic mowing.
I now see a real estate sign on one of the west side lots that says "For Sale, Multi-Family." That's a lot better than more commercial warehouses.
In conclusion, this avenue is our main and only thoroughfare to access over 1,000 homes.
This is not an attractive entryway to our attractive homes.
Please get it cleaned up now and on a regular basis. I am wondering if the city could add some beautification that might be conducive to the areas?
[I have] more than 20 years of volunteer community service. How about some pay back?
*Most school zones are 15-20 mph. Fines are DOUBLED for speeding in a construction area or school zone. Fines for speeding range from $155 to $605.

10 different terms to describe sexuality that you may not have heard of, because the spectrum of queer identity goes far beyond LGBTQIA+
"While many LGBTQIA+ people find labels restrictive, others rely on them to articulate their experiences of gender, sex and sexuality to others".
By Paisley Gilmour
Thanks to the work of LGBT activists before us, who put their lives on the line to be visible, most of us now know what the letters in the acronym mean. But as we come to understand more about the spectrum of gender and sexuality, queer people are identifying with more terms beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans. If you've seen the community referred to as LGBTQIA+ and wondered what the extra characters stand for, know it's okay not to be familiar with all the terms. Vast sections of our super diverse community still go largely underrepresented in TV shows and films. And as sex and relationships education is only now becoming queer-inclusive, it's no wonder many of us don't really know what it means to be part of the +.
I've been publicly out as bisexual for years, and yet I'm still discovering new ways to articulate how I experience sexuality. It was only recently I realised that while I may be bisexual (sexually attracted to people of more than one gender – no, bi doesn't mean you only like 'men and women') - I am probably also homoromantic (romantically attracted to people of my own/marginalised genders). Until I learned romantic and sexual attraction are two separate experiences, I didn't have the language to describe why I felt I'd never be able fall in love with a cis man again. We're all learning here.
'Bisexual people are not greedy, confused or closeted': Why labels and stereotypes are harmful and erase our identity
By Chloe Laws
While many LGBTQIA+ people find labels restrictive, others rely on them to articulate their experiences of gender, sex and sexuality to others - and to form communities. There's no right or wrong way to use a label when self-identifying, as long as we recognise that other people may experience that label differently. And, as is the nature of the spectrum of gender and sexuality, labels can change over time. Being able to give space to that potential for change and growth is one of the most beautiful things about being LGBTQIA+.
Whether you're an ally looking to learn more about sexuality and gender beyond the LGBTQIA+, or are a queer person trying to find a label that makes the most sense for you, here are 10 lesser-represented identities that sit within the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, and some of the people who identity with them...
1. Asexual
It's positive that we're seeing more lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans characters in mainstream pop culture. But representation of asexual people is still seriously lacking. This not only contributes to asexuals not being seen, but to allosexuals (people who do experience sexual attraction) not truly understanding what it means to be asexual.
Asexual folks do not experience sexual attraction or have an 'intrinsic desire to have sexual relationships'. Asexuality is a sexual orientation, but is often conflated with celibacy - which, btw, is a lifestyle choice.
Of course every asexual person experiences their asexuality differently, and there's no one way to be asexual. Some asexual people will experience romantic attraction, for example. As Stonewall notes, 'asexual people who experience romantic attraction might also use terms such as gay, bi, lesbian, straight and queer in conjunction with asexual to describe the direction of their romantic attraction.'
For Yasmin, a 25-year-old model and activist, asexuality means experiencing little-to-no sexual attraction. 'Identifying as asexual is my way of saying that my sexual orientation isn't oriented anywhere,' she tells me. 'It's not about having absolutely no sexuality, it's just not experiencing one layer of sexuality which is sexual attraction. It allows my sexuality to be independent of other people and personally, I love that for me!'
People think I must be unlovable, fussy or mentally ill. Here's what it really means to be asexual and aromantic
By Ali Pantony
2. Aromantic
Aromantic people don't experience romantic attraction, and do not have an innate desire to be in romantic relationships in the same way that alloromantic people do. Some aromantic people experience sexual attraction, or occasional romantic attraction, and may also identify as gay, bi, lesbian, straight, pan or queer at the same time.
Aromantic people can and do form an emotional connections with other people. Plenty of aro folks have meaningful, life-changing platonic and non-romantic relationships.
For River, 19, romance and romantic attraction are concepts that they don't really understand. 'I am full of love and attraction towards my partners, but I wouldn't be able to tell you whether there's romance or not,' she says. 'And honestly it's entirely irrelevant to me. Love is love!'
3. Demisexual and demiromantic
If you tend to only experience sexual attraction to someone once you've formed an emotional connection with them, demisexual might be a label that works for you. Demisexuality doesn't mean you are sexually attracted to every single person you get close to, though. The same goes for demiromantics, who experience romantic attraction only once they've formed a deeper emotional bond.
'A lot of people misunderstand the demi identity. It's not that I don't want to pursue sex or a romantic relationship unless I'm close with that person, it's that the possibility of attraction doesn't even exist until then,' explains 26-year-old Sam. 'For a lesbian, the pool of people you may or may not be attracted to is women. It doesn't mean you're attracted to every woman, it just means that someone has to be a woman for attraction to be possible. I only can say for sure that I've been attracted to a handful of people in my life, all people I was already bonded with.'
As more and more people are identifying as demisexual, we answer all the questions you might have about the sexual orientation
By Lottie Winter
4. Quoiromantic
Also sometimes referred to as WTFromantic, quoiromantics are often unsure whether they experience romantic attraction.
Sam, as well as identifying as demisexual, uses the term. 'It really resonates with me because I have a hard time telling the difference between different types of attraction and feelings. Is it attraction? Do I fancy them or just want to be their friend? Am I in love with them or do I just love them? What's the difference? I don't know!' They explain. 'I find it very difficult to untangle it all or understand how I'm feeling and how that is similar or different to what other people feel when they are attracted to - or in love with - someone.'
As Instagram creates space for pronouns on profiles, here's a reminder of why it's important to publicly share them
5. Intersex
Intersex people are born with sex characteristics that don't fit typical definitions of male and female. Biological sex characteristics including genitals, hormone levels and chromosome patterns. Intersex is different from gender identity and sexual orientation, so intersex folks can be straight, bisexual, asexual, queer, male, female, neither or both.
Anick, a 26-year-old writer and founder of IntersexAF, says reclaiming the word intersex has given him the autonomy that was taken away from him as a child. 'It's a term that originally separated me, one that I hated for shaping my life. These days, it connects my bodily experience to a community and has gifted me with purpose,' he explains.
6. Non-binary
With more celebrities coming out publicly as non-binary, awareness of the limitless spectrum of gender is growing. Demi Lovato, Sam Smith and Atypical's Brigette Lundy-Payne have all spoken openly and generously about their non-binary identities on social media and in interviews.
Non-binary people feel their gender doesn't wholly comfortably with female or male. All non-binary folks experience their gender in different ways: some reject all aspects of binary ideas of gender, while others identify with some. Not every non-binary person uses they/them pronouns, either.
T, 34, finds it harder to describe the longer they settle into their non-binaryness. 'I don't identify with my assigned gender, but I don't necessarily feel wholly female,' they explain. 'To me, being non-binary means a greater sense of freedom and off comfort in my own skin. It's about being both everything and nothing, often simultaneously.' For T, a big part of it is a rejection of what they know they are not. 'But it also brings with it opportunities to explore and play around with what I could be,' they add. 'There's an expanse around it. Although sometimes it's easier to put yourself into more accepted boundaries for safety, it also feels like an opportunity to say: "I have autonomy over who I am, and my body, and no one else gets to define that'."

7. Skoliosexual
Skoliosexual is a relatively new term that is likely to have originated from Tumblr and Reddit. While there is no official definition, skoliosexuals are said to be primarily attracted to people who are non-binary, trans or genderqueer.
Meg, 25, has used the term to explain their attraction to other genderqueer people in the past. 'I was dating people who identified with a binary gender (both cis and trans) during that time, and the skoliosexual label was just helpful to designate a slight preference that made me feel more welcome,' they say.
'As someone who is non-binary but still feeling out their identity and how they present, prioritising gender-non-conforming and non-binary people when I date has been helpful due to the exclusionary language (women love women etc) I encountered in the lesbian community,' says Meg. 'I would also consider myself to be pansexual/bisexual but only attracted to other queer people and I felt I needed an identity label that was really open but which didn't include anyone cis-het [cisgender and heterosexual].'
However, they say they don't identify with the label as much of late, after learning there are some elements of the term that other queer folks take issue with. 'But I think that's the whole point of labels to begin with - they should help you explore and clarify things about your gender/sexuality/relationship preference/experience of attraction, rather than being another thing sticking you in a box,' they add.
8. Monosexual
Unlike bisexuals and pansexuals, who are sexually attracted to multiple genders, monosexuals are attracted to one. Many straight people are monosexual, as they are attracted to what is commonly considered the 'opposite sex' (but which we know is a outdated term that views male and female as on opposite ends of a binary spectrum). Monosexuals can also identify as lesbians or gay.
To Lilith, 27, being a monosexual lesbian means the freedom to centre women and non-binary lesbians in her life. 'We live in a society that's very heteronormative, and having a sexuality that excludes men entirely is viewed with incredulity. Within the queer community I sometimes see people viewing monosexual identities as limiting or exclusive, when I feel quite the opposite - it was really liberatory for me to realise that I didn't have to include men in my life. It doesn't feel exclusionary - that firm boundary to me is the biggest gift of self-love I could give myself.'
The most difficult part of working out she is a monosexual lesbian was accepting the fact she wasn't attracted to men. 'I've spent a lot of time actively unlearning my compulsory heterosexuality and in fact had a six-year relationship with a man, during which time I was identifying as bisexual,' she tells me. 'I was very mentally ill during that time and when I finally got help, I was able to work out that I was trying to force something that was unnatural for me.'
9. Pansexual and panromantic
Awareness of pansexuality has grown in recent years, with Cara Delevingne and Janelle Monae speaking in interviews about the aspects of the identity that they relate to. Pansexual people experience sexual attraction to others regardless of their gender identity or sex. This doesn't mean pan folks are sexually attracted to everyone, but that their ability to be attracted to someone isn't limited by sex or gender. Panromantics experience romantic attraction to others regardless of that person's gender or sex.
'Pansexuality, to me, represents ultimate freedom,' says Prishita, 24. 'It allows me the space to explore every aspect of desire, lust, attraction, and romance - and to accept that these experiences can be expansive and all-encompassing. My pansexuality acknowledges that my own gender identity is a fluid, evolving state of being, and that my connections with other humans are each original and unique.'
10. Queer
While queer has historically been used as a slur, and many older LGBTQIA+ people have spoken out about disliking the term, there's been a movement of people reclaiming it. Some use queer to explain their sexuality, others use it to describe their gender. There is no one real definition, except maybe: a person that isn't cisgender and/or heterosexual.
Novy, 23, likes to use queer as a public and community label. 'I like that it's such a wide umbrella term. Queer people are where I feel most at home.' They add that they have specific labels, too. 'I am non-binary and oriented aroace, attracted exclusively to other queer people but not interested in traditional "dating," they say. 'This is hard to explain to people. Queer gets across what they need to know more easily.'
For 27-year-old Harley, queer is a label entirely for them. 'People say queer means strange, different and other. I couldn't think of a more perfect term to sum up my sexuality and gender than that. To me, saying I'm queer is a pushback against everyone who has tried to place me into different boxes to fit in with society. As I've grown up and come out, queer has always been the label that has made me happy instead of pleasing others and has felt like I'm being my true, strange, queer self.'

Third year student Julian Grant designed his own experiential block, got it approved and set off to Africa roughly 3 months ago. He returned a few weeks ago and I had a chance to sit and talk with him about his experience.
What was he doing over there?: Julian wanted to research the impact of permaculture as a tool for development. He worked alongside the Seven Ravens Permaculture Academy which is an NGO (started by a man from Saltspring, BC!) that builds demonstration gardens at primary schools to teach kids better agricultural practices with the hope that the children will take what they learned and implement it at their farms at home.
Julian wanted to see whether these concepts learned in school, were really changing the way students and their families farmed at home.
What he discovered: People were definitely listening to what the children and teachers had to say, and some families were making changes, but there was still some confusion. Some things were set up wrong and families misunderstood the information they were given and that had negative impacts. For example, there are trenches called "swales" that help direct water in a way that avoids soil erosion so the plants and soil don't fall down the cliff. You're supposed to build them horizontally along the farmland, but some people built them vertically, so when there was water, it would rush down these swales, and the momentum etc., would take plants and soil down with it.
Challenges? There were a lot of mixed messages from different NGOs in area, which never makes it easy. Some teachers, who were responsible for teaching the students, misunderstood the concepts. Some of the programs were dependent on one or two people, which meant that if they had an emergency of sorts, the entire project would fall through because there was no one else who was taking the project on.
Also, on holidays or teachers strikes no one could/would maintain the gardens and they would fail. During teachers strikes, police would stand in front of the school armed with guns so no one would rob or vandalize the school —so there was no getting in there for the gardens.
A solar cooker that harnesses the heat of the sun to cook whatever is in its way.
Good stuff: Seeing people making positive changes and seeing people who had hope. Seeing positive change in a couple of years, seeing residents learning new techniques and finding ways to finally make money off their land.
Memorable moments: There were a lot, but one cool thing was that Julian was able to meet up with a Quest tutor, Christian Acemah, in Uganda (where Christian is from). It's cool that we are close enough to our tutors to feel comfortable hanging out with them on the other side of the world— and that they would agree to hang with us!
Julian spotted another Quest student in Africa!
What did he learn from this experience?: Julian said he learned a lot about how to do interviews, about some of the cultural barriers that make research and development interesting, exciting and challenging. He learned about village life in Kenya, and was able to spend a couple months amongst it. He learned about (and ate) good Kenyan food, learned about how agriculture is performed in that region, and learned to harvest various crops.
Things learned on a personal level? Throughout Julian's life thus far, he's often felt guilty about his privilege as a white male from a developed country like Canada. During this trip however, he was able to reconcile with this guilt a bit. He realized the world will never be equal, even though a ton of stuff can be done to try and lessen the inequality.
The worst thing you can do is not give your all, and to not take advantage of all the opportunities that you have at your disposal, because to do that is a slap in the face of people who will never get the same opportunities. Take full advantage of your privilege and try to use it to make opportunities for other people less fortunate than you.
Any last advice? It's easy to doubt you will ever end up in some small village in a distant place like Kenya, but all you need to do is commit! Commit yourself to the idea, buy the plane ticket and the rest is just logistics. If you want to go abroad and do something different while learning, you should definitely do it!
Stay tuned for more experiential learning stories!

Q: reCAPTCHA form submitting twice on second submit I am creating a form using reCAPTCHA v2 and want the form to be able to be submitted again without reloading the page. When I submit the form for the first time, it works as expected.

Q: cfthread with heavy DB activity When we enter a ticket in system, there is an insert in a group of 5-6 tables (based on some rules). That works alright when single ticket is added manually.
Now we have a requirement where we will get the ticket feed from external source (most probably a xml or may be a txt file). It can have any number of tickets up to 500.
If I have to leverage the cfthread, and say 10 threads of 50 tickets each, how I can prevent it to cause issue on DB. Ultimately, everyone of those tickets will be inserting data in same Db tables.
As each thread will be completely independent, would't it create queue on DB (may be a deadlock too)?

Art department displays students' pieces

The Art Department held the show from May 14 to May 18 in room 216.
To commemorate the end of the year, the Art Department has put together its annual show, which showcases students' work from a variety of art classes. The show was held in the art gallery in room 216 and was kept up for a week starting on Monday, May 14.
The gallery showcased works from classes like ceramics, as students' ceramic vases, mugs, and other unique pieces were on display. Honors Portfolio showcased a wider variety of art forms, from silhouettes to things like painted shoes.
"[In Honors Portfolio] there are no assignments. We were asked to make a series with four pieces and my theme was calligraphy on clothes," said Safi Qadir, junior. "The shoes on display were a part of this series. They were inspired by Casey Neistat's signature Ray-Bans which are sand-blasted with white spray paint and then chipped off to give a rough aesthetic."
Some art was grouped into a series ,such as two paintings of music artists, painted with a flower motif. A couple of paintings in the gallery were inspired by newspapers and covers, where the actual paper was integrated into the piece.
Students series were displayed from the class, Honors Portfolio.
"The current show is an exhibition of all students, all levels, and all courses this spring," said Ms. Milas, head of the Art Department. "The purpose behind displaying work is twofold; a creative act is completed when there is an audience and students learn and get inspired by viewing each other's work."
Many students enjoyed going to the show to see the work that art students had created this year. In the gallery room, there is a book where visitors are able to write their thoughts on the pieces and it is full of positive feedback.
"I really enjoyed going to see the gallery," said Harini Loganathan, junior. "The ceramic pieces I thought were very unique and eye catching. Also, the paintings were so detailed and colorful. In general, I thought the art show really showcased the talent our students have to offer."
This show has been a tradition at school for at least 30 years. According to students and staff, it is a great way to honor the talent and display the works that students have made that year. To pick which pieces to show, students were asked to review the works they created and select one or two that represent themselves.
To view the show before it ends, visit room 216 or click here to view the gallery from gallery of last week's Honors portfolio show, which showcases some of the work that was displayed in this gallery.

On 20 September 1854 the combined British and French armies confronted the Russians at the river Alma in the critical opening encounter of the Crimean War. This was the first major battle the British had fought on European soil since Waterloo almost 40 years before. In this compelling and meticulously researched study, Ian Fletcher and Natalia Ishchenko reconstruct the battle in vivid detail, using many rare and unpublished eyewitness accounts from all sides - English, French and Russian. Their groundbreaking work promises to be the definitive history of this extraordinary clash of arms for many years to come. It also gives a fascinating insight into military thinking and organization in the 1850s, midway between the end of the Napoleonic era and the outbreak of the Great War.
.. As Fletcher and Ishchenko argue in this highly readable new account..
..The strengths of Fletcher and Ishchenko's book is its research into Russian language as well as English sources, their skilful blending of first-hand accounts into the text, and the fact tat they have walked the terrain. Following on from their early book The Crimean War: Clash of Empires, this is a most welcome addition to the library of books on this war.
