When the city of Copenhagen went looking for ideas to revitalize the old working class district of Nørrebro, it decided to create a new kind of public space. Superkilen is a half a mile long urban space running through one of the most ethnically diverse and socially challenged neighborhoods in Denmark. Today Nørrebro's award-winning urban park is a central feature of what's described as Copenhagen's coolest neighbourhood. In 2005, that certainly wasn't the case. Located beyond the northern gates of the old city, the neighbourhood was disconnected from the rest of Copenhagen and better known for its violence, gang activity, social problems and lack of cultural integration.
Superkilen was envisioned as an urban regeneration project by the city of Copenhagen in a partnership with Realdania and an international team that included the Danish architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), German landscape architecture firm Topotek 1, and Danish artist group Superflex. It would reconnect Nørrebro with Copenhagen, as well as create conditions for participation and inclusion within the diverse local population. Part of those conditions meant creating a vibrant public space where residents could enjoy themselves. The design of the park also ensured that their diversity was visible to everyone.
Superkilen has had a profound impact on Nørrebro and plugged the area back into the city. Seven hundred and fifty metres long, the park is divided into three main areas: The Red Square, The Black Market and The Green Park. The Red Square is modern, urban, with cafés, outdoor music and sports. The Black Market is the city square with a fountain and benches. The Green Park is a typical park for picnics, sports and walking the dog. Each area is unique, with referral points and recognizable meeting places ("Meet me at the Octopus."), bringing people together from different backgrounds to play and share in a public space.
It's a popular park, fun and whimsical, practical and playful. But it has also had an incredible impact on a precarious community, transforming Nørrebro from a raw, edgy district into a positive space where neighbours come out to have fun and connect with each other and the city. The process of creating that had the deepest impact.
The project vision was to create a space that reflected the people living in the area, with their input. That meant creating greater integration and inclusion in a racialized neighbourhood representing more than 50 different nationalities, half of which were Muslim-majority countries. Engaging community members was a key priority for Superkilen, and an essential part of the park's impact and success.
Residents were seen by the project team as vital resources for the project. It would be public participation, not simply consultation. It helped that two of the core project teams were based in Nørrebro. They knew the area and how to connect with the community. They made sure that community members were not only consulted, but actively contributed to the park's creation.
Instead of using the kind of objects normally used for parks and public spaces in Copenhagen, people from the area were asked to nominate specific city objects such as benches, bins, trees, playgrounds, manhole covers, and signage from their countries of origin or favourite places. The objects were then either produced in a 1:1 copy or purchased and transported to the site. Every tree, every lamp, every object is from or inspired by somewhere else. There are swings from Iraq, benches from Brazil, a fountain from Morocco and garbage bins from England. There are neon signs advertise American donuts, a Russian hotel, a Chinese beauty parlor. Even the sewer covers are from somewhere else (Zanzibar, Gdansk and Paris).
The objects, playful and interesting and people-connected, are an important reasons why Superkilen is used by locals and visited by people from outside Nørrebro. Artifacts and plants from other cities and countries have been lovingly catalogued in a publication, "Superkilen's 108 objects and their history," You can even download an app to learn more about every object in Superkilen.
Rein-Cano says cities have two choices when it comes to immigration and inclusion. We can be generous, or we can have turmoil. Cities are the front line in migration. He says they need to create a more permissive and generous environment for newcomers. Many host countries expect people to leave their objects behind. In fact, those objects, in a new community, can take on new meaning and identity. Much like migrants do.
By creating a highly functional, usable and popular space through extreme civic involvement, Superkilen illustrates how cities can transform a 'no-go' space like Nørrebro into an inclusive 'must-see' space for all.
Look at how a city project can be more than what it is on the surface, but how the process of creating something, or transforming a space, can be transformative for people as well.
Commit to consultation from the beginning of a project. The local community is a source of information and inspiration. Including them is the only way the project will ultimately be inclusive.
Having local consultants on a design and development project is useful, as they are already part of the local context and will have an understanding of the unspoken culture that needs to be addressed.
Challenge yourself to be open to ideas that may seem too risky on the surface.
Superkilen On-site Review Report, edited by Aga Khan Award for Architecture, 2016.


Have you ever felt like two mad wolves were inside of you on a seesaw? One day you could be full of energy and optimism, feeling invincible. Then another day, you could be so down, cynical, and sluggish and could barely get out of bed.
In my highs, I would do something creative—like record a ukulele song cover, start writing a blog article, a book or a cringe-worthy song I wouldn't finish anyway. Or cook another dish even if I just literally ate dinner. I would stay up all night but still feel energized the next day.
My thoughts would be racing. You would notice I speak more and faster than usual. I could be easily irritated by the pettiest of things. Sometimes, I would walk around the city, overspend and go home with an empty wallet.
In my lows, I could be very unsociable. There were days I would skip work and just eat and sleep for almost a week. I would go off the grid without informing people of my whereabouts. I would feel anxious, hopeless and very depressed I just wanted to die and rot in bed.
And then there were days I would be in a rather uncomfortable mixed state of highs and lows. Something harder to define.
On hindsight, these uncontrollable mood swings have been a cycle since my teenage years. But it was only last year when it felt like it was getting worse and it has become unmanageable and debilitating. I knew something was wrong and that I needed help.
My initial diagnosis was panic disorder and depression. Until after more than a year of continuous therapy and medication, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Type 2.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by bad mood swings primarily due to chemical imbalances in the brain. It can run in the family and be triggered by environmental factors.
Seeking help was not easy. We live in a society that stigmatizes mental health patients. I was judged even by some of my closest friends. The worst I was told was that psychiatry is a form of witchcraft and is from the devil so I should take no part in it.
When I would hail a ride and pin the location "Philippine Mental Health Association," quite a number of drivers would cancel. Or if they take my booking, their usual probing question would be, "Doon po kayo nagtatrabaho? (Do you work there?)" To which I would answer a simple "No" sans explanation. But maybe I am overthinking, which has become a habit.
Seeking help is necessary. Depression and other mental disorders are progressive and can lead to life impairment and even suicide when left untreated. In my therapy sessions, my depression was traced to my adolescent years and it was never properly dealt with until now that I'm in my early thirties.
I consulted a psychiatrist when I started to experience the physiological manifestations of my troubled mind. I was having panic attacks. I couldn't breathe. I would sweat, palpitate or tremble just anytime, anywhere. The first few times were scary.
I was also having a hard time coping with stress. There was a time I would choose to work up to 16 hours a day. I couldn't sleep properly anymore. That was when I knew I needed help.
What Do You Tell the Doctor During Your First Consultation?
Be honest. Don't filter. If you don't know where to start or you are groping for words, it is okay. That is why you are seeking help in the first place, because you are looking for clarity. The doctor will guide you by asking questions.
Be open not just about your present problems but also your past. Tell the doctor as much as you can without overthinking. Talk to the doctor like you were talking to a friend. He or she will listen and not judge you.
How Much Do You Spend for a Consultation?
The first consultation is usually more expensive. Private psychiatrists in Metro Manila charge around P2,500 to P3,500. Succeeding therapy sessions cost less. Mine is P2,000 per session. I started having therapy every two weeks but now it's down to just once a month because I have improved over time.
Trust that the doctor is trained to prescribe the right medication if necessary. If you are put on medication, follow it because it will help you get well. For medication, I spend around P180 daily for anti-depressants and mood stabilizers. That is based on my needs as a Bipolar Type 2.
Should You Tell Your Family?
For me, yes, so they would understand your behavior and help you pinpoint red flags in your mood cycles. Other than your family, I believe it is okay to tell your closest friends. Having a strong support system is necessary.
Should You Tell Your Boss?
If you are comfortable with it, there is nothing wrong. In my case, yes I did, because my medications could affect my work performance. Also being open can help create a workplace culture that is sensitive to people's mental health needs.
Bipolar disorder and most mental health illnesses are manageable through lifestyle change and maintenance medication. There are even those who are eventually able to wean themselves off their medicines and live a normal and productive life.
But it always has to start with the first step, talking to an expert when you need to, because we all could use some help to tame our wolves.


The FODIS data processing (2011 onwards) is much the same as for the Eagle data except that each scan line of FODIS data (4 pixels) is averaged together to reduce noise. The resulting processed data will consist of 1 data value per scan line of imagery.
Details on processing the pre-2011 ILS/FODIS data are in the azgcorr manual (to a limited extent - we'll improve this as soon as we get the manual text..). Basically it's an extra data vector in the HDF files, called CAils, with one pixel of upwards-looking data per downwards-looking scanline.
The vector should be present in all CASI and Eagle HDFs, but will be garbage in any flight where the sensor wasn't connected (fibre optic cable from the CCD to the roof-mounted collector). If the data are correct, they should resemble the solar spectrum.
It will also be garbage in any Eagle HDFs preceding mid 2008 as the cable wasn't connected (may be present in some Ethiopia flights) and the processing wasn't working (fixed as of June/08, backprocessing available on request).


As stated by THE RESCENT Promises, The actual fact Of the Worldwide WARMING IS GROUNDLESS. ARE THERE ANY SCIENTIFIC PROOFS TO These types of Promises?
From the meteorological point of view, world warming refers to the continued rise in standard intercontinental temperatures originating predominantly from man's actions and industrialization. These routines comprise of deforestation, burning of carbon fuels and aerosols. Assorted researchers in various fields are convinced of world warming and also have supplied facts that indeed world wide warming is legitimate, though just a few consumers nonetheless harbor doubts. Proofs to these uncertainties are spelled out during this essay.

Q: Access specific row in mysql recordset I have a database table with options that looks like this

I do a SELECT * FROM options and load all records into a recordset.
How do I then access just the optionValue of optionName = SMSactive
[EDIT]
Yes, I could do SELECT * FROM options WHERE optionName ='SMSactive' - I know that.
But as I said, since I have a recordset with a bunch of rows in it (from the SELECT), I want to pull a specific row where optionName = SMSactive
[EDIT]
If you are using PHP >= 5.5 you can use array_column() http://php.net/array_column
But if not, the question has already been asked and answered here PHP multidimensional array search by value

A: To access to all records with optionName = SMSactive the SQL should be:
SELECT * FROM `TableName` WHERE `optionName` = 'SMSactive'

if your array result from the query is something like this:
$array = array(
    0 => array(
        'optionName' => 'lala0',
        'optionDescription' => 'lala01',
        'optionValue' => 'lala03',
    ),
    1 => array(
        'optionName' => 'lala1',
        'optionDescription' => 'ala2',
        'optionValue' => 'SMSactive',
    )
);

You can grab who has 'optionValue' => 'SMSactive', by this way
foreach ($array as $key) {
    if ($key['optionValue'] == 'SMSactive') {
        $filtered[]=$key;
    }
}

echo '<pre>';
print_r($filtered);
echo '</pre>';

Side Note: If the array is very large you have to be careful with the memory...it's advisable just get from the db what you are using in the moment...IMO

WA 90-92 (12/2008): The 2007 Chardonnay Laura's is still in barrel, but it almost came across as tannic. However, it is loaded with crisp white peach, white currant, and quince aromas accompanied by strong mineral undertones. It is medium-bodied and more backward than its siblings. All of these Chardonnays have 4-6 years of aging potential, perhaps even longer.
WA 91 (8/2010): The third white I tasted is the 2007 Acromion, which I previously reviewed in issue #184. A killer wine, this blend of 92% Roussanne and 8% Viognier spent 20 months in barrel, and had full malolactic fermentation. It possesses abundant notes of waxy, honeysuckle, orange marmalade, and tropical fruits intertwined with a buttery richness, and complex, full-bodied flavors. While it may be too much of a good thing for some readers, it is a distinctive, singular white wine to drink over the next 2-3 years although I suspect it has the potential to last longer.
VM 88 (12/2009): ( 92% roussanne and 8% viognier) Bright gold. Exotic aromas of peach, passion fruit and melon, with a hint of talc. Slightly warm melon and pit fruit flavors are underscored by a dusty mineral note and take a dry turn on the back end. Finishes with good mineral snap and a bit of heat. Serve this well-chilled.

Federation Ranks
Revision as of 19:11, 30 October 2012 by Engineer (talk | contribs)
Federation/Starfleet
Lower Rank:
Master Warrant Officer
Chief Warrant Officer, sometimes also called Chief Warrant Officer 1st Class is the highest Starfleet warrant rank, ranking above a Master Warrant Officer. It has a ranking code of W-4 and is equivalent to a Chief Warrant Officer 1st Class in the Starfleet Marine Corps. The rank insignia consists of one hollow pip bracketed by triple gold chevrons either side. It is subordinate to all officer ranks, including fresh-from-the-academy Ensigns.
A Warrant Officer (WO) is an officer in a military organization who is designated an officer by a warrant; distinguished from a commissioned officer who is designated an officer by a commission, or a non-commissioned officer (NCO) who is designated an officer by virtue of seniority.
Chief Warrant Officers are technical officer specialists who perform duties that require expertise and commissioned officer authority to direct technical operations in a given occupational area. Chief Warrant Officers perform duties that are technically oriented - that is, requiring skills directly related to their previous enlisted service and specialised training, while not significantly affecting their ability to perform those duties through advancement to other duty positions and responsibilities — thus allowing Starfleet to capitalize on their experience. All Starfleet Chief Warrant Officers are recruited and accessed from the Chief Petty Officer grades; E-7 through E-9.
Chief Warrant Officers can and do command detachments, units, activities, small patrol vessels, aircraft, and armoured ground vehicles as well as lead, coach, train, and counsel subordinates. However, the Warrant Officer's primary task as a leader is to serve as a technical expert, providing valuable skills, guidance, and expertise to commanders and organisations in their particular field.

Every single one of us has been in a situation where we've met someone way cooler than us who made us feel bad about our clothes, our taste in music, or our celebrity crush. But there was something about Great Expectations that hit me hard on all levels and there was a deeper understanding I took from it even back then. If it is possible to spoil something published in 1861. You can feel the pain in his narration as he tells the last parts of his story; it becomes clear that Pip could never forgive himself for his folly. I have heard of her circumstances, discussed her in English Literature classes, and even referenced her in a paper. We want to meet them. My favorite characters are Joe Gargery, the gentle and loving blacksmith; the faithful Herbert Pocket; and the helpful Mr.
Compeyson - A criminal and the former partner of Magwitch, Compeyson is an educated, gentlemanly outlaw who contrasts sharply with the coarse and uneducated Magwitch. We all yearn for something badly at times. Herbert Pocket or Handel is a very similar character to Joe, acting as a second Joe when Pip is in London. He intimates that he was the puppet master pulling the strings that allowed that good fortune to find a proper home. Dickens provides us with brilliant and perfectly paced narrative, along with enlightened social and political commentary.
It's a book that was extremely relevant to the times when social class was of utmost importance in Britain. I honestly did not have great expectations when I picked up this book, and I was very, very surprised with all the plot twists and big reveals in the third act. Like so many of us, Pip is hard on himself for his shortcomings and rarely rewards himself for the things he does well. The answer is mostly, yes, although some dramatic license has been taken with the timing. I expected Pip's great expectations to fail as I resented him and I intimately cheered that he wouldn't become a rich man because I worried he wouldn't do Joe and Biddy - always there for him, always his faithful companions - justice if his design and ambition to become a gentleman was successful. Most people these days still tend to marry within their socioeconomic group, but it's certainly not out of the question to marry someone who grew up much richer or poorer than you did, and lots of people have friends who are from different backgrounds. I think what made it wrong was how he came to have those expectations: He felt worthless being poor and many of the adults in his life treated him as if he were subhuman.
We want to meet them. Dickens turned it into a crumbling ruin, full of cobwebs and their menacing lurkers , rats and dust. Heaven knows we never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of the earth, overlaying our hard hearts. It quickens our pulse and gives us a little thrilling frisson. La forma de vida, la sociedad, la cultura, la libertad, lo que era bueno y malo, todo era diferente.
Διεισδύει στην πραγματικότητα και γράφει για όλα αυτά που είμαστε φτιαγμένοι για να ζήσουμε και τρομάζουμε όταν τα σκεφτόμαστε. Nevertheless, Pip falls in love with Estella. وتبدأ مرحلة جديدة غير متوّقعة في حياة پيب، فيصبح غنيّاً مُتعلّماً، يتعرّف على الطبقة الغنيّة، ويحلم بأكثر مما حلم به. Charles Dickens Growing Up is Hard to Do: Pip's Life Lessons Pip's ambitions are extraordinary because he grew up in Victorian England, named for the period between 1837 and 1901 when Queen Victoria reigned. In what way s is his behavior worse than Pumblechook's and so criminal? When he tugs on the heart-strings, he does so as a maestro plucks the violin and you will feel played and thankful for the experience.
how have pip's expectations changed? what does he expect now?
I think what made it wrong was how he came to have those expectations: He felt worthless being poor and many of the adults in his life Good question! Expectations were affected by my relatively recent read of. This was another perk of watching this excellent version. Great Expectations, Charles Dickens The novel was first published as a serial in Dickens's weekly periodical All the Year Round, from 1 December 1860 to August 1861. How and when were my expectations formed? He becomes self-aware through his introduction to society. We wonder how he will ever become the Dickens hero we feel he must inevitably become.
Obviously, it is my life experience that has changed, not the story. At the best of times, so much of this elixir was administered to me as a choice restorative, that I was conscious of going about, smelling like a new fence — Pip Mrs. But Pip walked happily into their trap and pursued their game willingly to the end because he wanted better. Both Biddy and Joe end up learning stuff—Biddy learns whatever Pip does, and then she teaches Joe to write—but neither of them lets it go to their heads. It remains one of my favorites among the ones I've actually read of the novels of Dickens, a writer whose work I was first introduced to as a grade school kid, and have long counted as a favorite author. Thus, Pip is better at dramatizing the people he meets than in understanding himself. Great Expectations, Charles Dickens' 1860 first person narration centers on the formation and social development of the inimical English character Pip.
I rank it in the same class as my other favorite Dickens works, and. There are enough plot twists and surprises to satisfy even the modern reader while the language of the book although sounding peculiar today is itself worth noting. The characters come vividly to life with all their flaws and their better sides, their desires and motives are depicted convincingly together with a whole society of ages past. There was a gay fiction among us that we were constantly enjoying ourselves, and a skeleton truth that we never did. Another reason I love this novel so much is its plotting. The fantasy world of Satis House feeds that part of him. يحلم پيب بالثروة والمجد، ولم يقبل بأن يصبح صبيّاً لحداد في قرية بعيدة.
The main character, Pip, is a gentle character. No Expectations When Pip first finds out that Magwitch and not Miss Havisham is his benefactor, it almost destroys him: Miss Havisham's intentions towards me, all a mere dream; Estella not designed for me; I only suffered in Satis House as a convenience, a sting for the greedy relations, a model with a mechanical heart to practise on when no other practice was at hand; those were the first smarts I had. She is manic and often seems insane, flitting around her house in a faded wedding dress, keeping a decaying feast on her table, and surrounding herself with clocks stopped at twenty minutes to nine. I still had a fresh picture of how one day suddenly Pip encountered that fearful man, who was soaked in water, and smothered in mud, Great expectation was my first book of Dickens. If there's been any fault at all to-day, it's mine. He learns the errors of his ways, and how shameful and condescending his behaviour has been to those that hold him most dear, namely Joe.
He thought of Pip kindly for this. There is irony in this, as Pip used his gift at age 21 of 500 pounds to engage Herbert with the new firm. My principled objection to various classic novels is that I love reading, and have loved to read from an early age I also loved to complain from an early age. I guess the rule of wine appreciation applies here, too: good taste only comes after much patience and experience. I reckon then that my rating should be around Eight Stars since Reality would be Five Stars and as my Expectations were on the negative axis—with an absolute value of about three--, it has resulted in a positive eight. At least, that was my experience. It is overful of hyperbole, with a cardboard hero who is well nigh a saint.

Many people have an interest in angels and love to think about angels. Speaking through the Bible, the Holy Spirit of God teaches us in the Book of Hebrews about angels, but the Holy Spirit starts with a special revelation about Jesus Christ. We know that God took flesh and lived among men as Jesus Christ. You see, Jesus Christ was God in the flesh, and infinitely superior to angels in every way. Also, never forget that Jesus was fully God and fully man at the same time. As God who created the entire universe, Jesus humbled Himself and became a man, born of Mary the virgin, and lived among men, just like a man without sins. Therefore, to understand angels, we should first understand Jesus Christ. The best guide to understanding angels will be the Bible, which is the Word of God. In the Bible, the Holy Spirit of God helps us understand angels. So, let usturn to the Book of Hebrews to begin our study of Angels.
Jesus Better than the Angels. In the beginning, Jesus was God and has always been God. When Jesus took flesh, Jesus came to earth make purification for sins. 1Consider Hebrews 1:3, page 1869. After Jesus had made purification for sins ("καθαρισμὸν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ποιησάμενος") by dying on the cross, Jesus then sat down at the right hand of God in heaven. Compare Philippians 2:7, page 1836, which declares that Jesus emptied himself (" ἑαυτὸν ἐκένωσεν "), taking the form of a bond servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Jesus never stopped being God, even when He walked upon the earth in flesh. Jesus created angels long before He came to earth in the flesh. So, as we study angels, we need to keep in mind that Jesus created all the angels, because He is the Son of God, and inherited as the Son of God a better name than all angels. Do not misunderstand. Jesus was never created, but has always been eternal God.

When I saw a set of photos of Boun Ok Phansa Festival in Luang Prabang, uploaded to the internet by a tourist and especially of the decorations at Wat Mai a few years ago, I told myself that one day I would be there in person to witness the beauty of the Festival of Lights.
My dream (goal) came true when I was able to visit Laos twice last year and took part in the festivity at the World Heritage Town of Luang Prabang.
It was two nights before the grand parade and the monks were busy finalizing the details of the decorations. Things were taking shape since they had started working in the morning.

"Jes Call me crazy and we all will be the same" A mantra used by Hearskra-z to describe the way of the world and all that surrounds. Born and bred in Saint Louis, Mo., Hearskra-z otherwise known as "Karl Livingston" is one of the most versatile and progressive artist the Midwest has to offer. Growing up (and up some more, he is 6'5") listening to an eclectic mix of R&B, Alternative Rock, Hip Hop, Classical, and all that lies in between, he learned how to appreciate music for what it is. An extension of our heartbeat. Using that concept and a lil bit of talent, Hearskra-z defies any tie to a particular genre or limitation and creates a sound that is like no other. You can hears examples of this on his previous albums: "Carnival of Sols", "Freedumb Chronicles", and "Poppy Seeds" all available at www.Hearskra-z.bandcamp.com. Armed with a powerful stage presence & songs that you can dance to, reflect upon, or just play in the background and vibe off the melodies, Hearskra-z embodies STL music and how diverse it is and has always been.
Blank Generation is a collaboration between Hearskra-Z and Loosescrewz.

It's virtual book club time with Toddler Approved and The Educators Spin On It– and we have read this book online as our library couldn't get us a copy in time. So this months is The Very Quiet Cricket. Now I can tell this is a popular book choice for J as he has been going around reciting the bit about "rubbing his wings together" all week. It's also requested regularly and it's so nice to have the story read to us with some great animation as well all in the style of Eric Carle.
For a change we decided to take our activity outside (well the weather has been glorious) and we went hunting for some of the creatures that The Very Quiet Cricket met in his first day.
Equipped with our bug explorer we searched the undergrowth trying to find any of the bugs – I didn't want to tell J that most of them we wouldn't be able to find in the UK garden, in fact we didn't find any of the creatures mentioned in the book. We did however find some really interesting bugs and J got used to handling them, putting them into his bug explorer and then taking them out and returning them to the undergrowth.
We first found some snails which J knew where they were from our Snail Hunt last week. Yes we had looked at them last year but not in our bug explorer – J liked the lines on the shell and the circles that he could see – we were able to talk about the spiral instead of circles and I have been asked to draw spirals over and over again for him to make some snails.
We have lots of little beetles in our garden at the moment – this red and black beetle was on our nettles which J has realised aren't a good thing to touch so I had to put it into our bug explorer to have a look at – he thought at first it was a lady bird – we have had a few black with red spot lady birds in the garden but then realised it wasn't as curved as they were. We also have some of my nemesis the red Lilly Beetles which J is in charge of finding amongst my Lilies and removing from them.
As the theme for The Very Quiet caterpillar is the noise that the bugs make we listened out for any bug noises (quite difficult over the noise coming from the black bird nest at the rear of the garden) but we were able to hear the buzzing of a bee amongst the honey suckle. I am looking forward to taking J and T abroad where they will be able to find noisier insects as we are very limited in the UK.
My children love bugs. I agree we are limited in the Uk, I remember lots of very noisy bugs in the US!
A perfect activity to connect with the book! We love looking for bugs too!
I love how being a Mom means that you take the time to go out and observe insects with our children and take such amazing photos of them. Great activity for this book. I have a feeling you'll be using the bug explorer with J and T all summer long! Thanks for sharing on the Virtual Book Club!
Very nice ! Very nice ! I am super inspired by this month's natural activities.
Since I don't have the courage to come close to an insect without any glass between us, I'm really encouraged to fight this fear.
I don't want my son to be like me.
We've been finding all sorts of interesting bugs in our garden lately, too, including aphids (not so welcome), and stag beetles (fine as long as they keep their distance) – and we even discovered that stag beetles can fly! (Who knew?) Thanks for sharing at the Outdoor Play Party!

Ketchikan Locals Fight New Cruise Pier
By Richard Simms
The new docking facilities Norwegian Cruise Line hopes to open in 2020 in Ketchikan, Alaska, has hit a roadblock.
Downtown Ketchikan, Alaska.
An 11-page letter from Ketchikan's city officials to the organization in charge of reviewing and approving the complex outlines a number of concerns, including economic and environmental issues they say could be harmful to the area.
Why Ketchikan Is Worried About The New Project
In a letter sent to the Army Corps of Engineers, who would have to sign off on permits regarding Norwegian's proposed two-berth dock large enough to handle their newest, biggest ship, Ketchikan mayor Robert Sivertsen outlined the city's concerns.
And at several points, the tone of the letter left no doubt as to just how troubled his community is.
Taking umbrage with the initial public notice's comments on Ketchikan's ability to handle incoming passengers, the mayor's note pointedly said the city was "more than capable of speaking for itself" with regard to the issues.
He also questioned both the credibility and forthrightness of The Ward Cove Dock Group's statements with regard to the proposed project.
The mayor's letter listed numerous issues with Norwegian's proposed dock, which would be located about eight miles outside of Ketchikan. Chief among there were the financial hit Ketchikan would take — both from the loss of docking fees and money spent by disembarking passengers — as well as the increased traffic congestion which would result from having to bus passengers back and forth.
"The addition of the Ward Cove Dock Group buses," read the letter, "will significantly increase vehicle and pedestrian congestion in downtown Ketchikan, which is already overly congested."
It added that currently, the city does not have the facilities to handle the increased bus traffic such a move would create.
Public Safety Could Be An Issue
A view from the pier in Ketchikan.
While the Ward Cove Dock Group did put forth a Transportation Plan in August regarding how to handle the influx of passengers and buses, the Mayor said that the city believed "this so-called plan was quickly pieced together in response to the concerns that were raised" in an earlier meeting.
He added that the submitted plan "lacks specificity, grossly underestimates the number of cruise ship passengers that will want or need to travel to downtown and unreasonably relies on" the local public transportation system.
Another issue raised regarded public safety at the proposed facilities, given that they would fall outside the city limits. While Ketchikan has a paid, professional police and fire force at its disposal, the Ward Cove facilities would have to rely on a volunteer fire department, Alaska State Troopers "and possibly the Ketchikan Gateway Borough."
As such, the mayor questioned, "whether these entities are appropriately equipped to handle increased law enforcement and emergency medical responses of this magnitude."
On the environmental front, the mayor pointed out that since Ketchikan began receiving visits from mega-ships such as the Norwegian Joy and Norwegian Bliss, they've experienced increased "wash" from the thrusters.
"The azipod was is of such increased force," he wrote, "that it has broken numerous wooden fender piles," which had not happened in the past. As a result, the mayor suggested it would be important to study the impact of the ships on "what could be the environmentally sensitive areas of Ward Cove."
After laying out the case against issuing the permits, the letter ended by suggesting that the Army Corps of Engineers should take a closer look at the Ward Cove project before issuing the permits which would allow it to become a reality.

It's been a relatively hectic past few weeks, hence the dearth of blog updates. Not so much because I've been out shooting, but rather the opposite – that I've been locked in front of a computer with my eyes going blocky. The unromantic aspect of photography as a career is the downtime in front of a computer…and it is a lot of downtime.
For a start there are the interminable hours spent post-processing. I firmly agree with Alain Briot when he writes that a good photographer must take interest into eh image to the very final creative steps that out of necessity require good informed post production of fine art imagery. Herein lies the problem. It is not possible, nor necessary I suppose, for every image to require the same amount of attention to detail as a fine art print does. I'm a little bit of a perfectionist though so end up spending far too much time doing the little tweaks and twitches that images require.
That's the one side of the coin though. The other is that some projects require extended time in front of the computer as is the current case. The project mentioned in earlier posts is taking shape gradually on my screen. There's lots of telephone calls with the client, the printer, then back again to the client to renew the whole process. Then there's post-production, writing and the rough layout. Eventually I'll get to the page by page layout, but I'm still a couple of weeks from that I suppose.
So it came as a sort of respite over the weekend to photograph the wedding of two friends in St Lucia, Freya and Nick now both sporting the surname van de Wiel. Trust the Dutch to do it in frenetic and prolonged activity. The events kicked off early in the morning with myself tailing the groom, Nick, while my wife followed the bride, Freya for the day. An hour long drive through iSimangaliso Wetland Park and a ceremony on the sunny beach was the starters for the day. The bride and bridemaids arrived on horseback over the dunes (very romantic) while the groom looked both nervous and relieved at the same time.
A beach brunch was followed by a return trip straight to the estuary at St Lucia so that all the guests could board a boat for a tour up the estuary. Hippos and Crocs make for interesting viewing after a wedding. Definitely a first for me. Thereafter the guests were bundled off to the reception venue in the Crocodile Sanctuary outside St Lucia. Of course this was followed by a post-reception reception in St Lucia. All in all the wedding effectively lasted from 8 in the morning through to midnight (and beyond for some). Definitely the longest wedding my wife and I have ever photographed and certainly one of the most memorable.
So for the rest of the week I'll be in St Lucia running the monthly workshop. St L has just come out of a shocking drought so everyone is talking about having water in the taps once more. The park looks dry but there's a flush in the grass and trees that says the water has arrived. Being the season I'm expecting a wet week ahead! Bad weather makes for great images as I always say!
One of the greatest pleasures of my job is the opportunity to return to the Drakensberg for just about every month of the year. This allows a fairly unique opportunity to see the varied moods of the mountain without actually having to physically live there. Of course this means that the weather will not always be wonderful. In fact it can sometimes be downright nasty. For a short three or four day workshop this can present something of a problem.
But problems are meant to be solved. When next in the Drakensberg and the rain sets in take a slow drive away from the campsites and the valleys and start to look for some of the things that we sometimes forget to look for. This is exactly what we did over the weekend for the September Drakensberg Photography Workshop. I was joined a fairly UK-centric group of 9 who were a little dismayed not to be able to see the Amphitheatre in its pyrotechnic glory at early morning. Instead constant drizzle and a very dense cloud obscured the mountain face and drenched cameras and photographers alike. Due to the Mont au Sources marathon (a strange phenomenon where usually sane individuals don running shoes and run up and down a mountain in a day...in the rain!) the only accommodation at the bottom of the mountain had to be a tent. It seems a little more than coincidence that every time we end up camping for the workshop it rains.
Give it a chance though, and a drive turns into a series of very short stops and starts as you make your way from one photographic opportunity to the next. In fact, at one point it was hard to get more than a 100 yards before someone would yell 'Stop!'. So it was with filled memory cards that we finally rolled into witsieshoek.
A gusty morning that had me thinking of repeats of last months ditched attempt to summit turned into a beautiful clear and hot day at the top of the Amphitheatre. Sadly the Tugela Falls wasn't exactly 'falling'. In fact the river wasn't even flowing – the driest I've seen it yet. Time for the rains I hope.
It's been a frenetic few weeks, hence the dearth of blog updates. Now for a glorious 4 or more weeks to consolidate and maybe even take a holiday. Fancy that. Thanks to Emily (US), Catherine (UK/Venezuela), Andrew (UK/France), Shauneen (Ireland/UK), Sam (UK), Tobie (Switzerland) and Bob (UK) as well as Sam (US/SA), Libby (UK) and Lucy (UK) for a wonderful wet and windy weekend in the Berg.
For anyone who follows this blog it's probably more than apparent that I consider myself something of a landscape and nature photographer...or would like to any rate. Of course as with just about every other photographer out there, there's often a lot more that we'll point our lenses at. So it was last week when I found myself shooting a commission in Johannesburg...surrounded by industrial warehouses.
Warehouses aren't exactly the subject matter that immediately grabs the attention of amateur photographers. But in reality they can be a treasure trove of angles and interesting patterns of light. The job in question is a for a large South African Bank that commissioned me to put together a coffee table book on an old industrial site that they are wanting to redevelop into a commercial and business district. Because of the age of the site South African law necessitates that the old buildings have to be commemorated in some way. Enter the photographer – or at least in this situation the photographer as it is sometimes in other ways that the buildings are commemorated.
60 odd warehouses can start to get monotonous, but the trick is to look for the details and, very importantly, the light. Large glass windows have a habit of throwing wonderful slanted streaks of light onto the dusty concrete floors. Old timber beams create a patchwork of lines in the deeper shadows. So all in all photographing warehouses can actually be quite rewarding.
Welcome to the wonderful world of HDR (High Dynamic Range) imagery. Without it my week of warehouse wonderings would have been very difficult. I'm not a huge fan of automated programs like Photomatix, but, to give it its due, when you are putting together extended tonal range images of complex subjects like the trusses of a roof, the programme comes into its own. What would take literally hours of painstaking layering, selecting and masking in Photoshop, takes a couple of minutes in Photomatix. Ok, I admit it, I'm a convert (to be fair to my initial feelings toward the program I tried it on some landscapes that I created the weekend after and they did not work! My usual layering and masking approaches with a range of selections from luminosity through to broad sweeps were far more effective).
Getting the right light is imperative to making good images of any kind of subject. This means getting up before dawn to be in place for the rising sun as well as the twilight just prior. Staying out late is also a good idea. Oddly enough, photographing the interiors of these warehouses was actually easier during the times of day when most photographers call it quits and head for their 'base camps', i.e. mid day.
The project is still in it's early stages as I have a roughly 4000 RAW files (admittedly a lot of them are HDRs) to wade through to create the final book. At the end of this I'll be posting a web-page of 'current projects' that will have some of the better images. Phew, but it's good to be back in Durbs after the traffic of Joburg!
Whenever there seems to be little else to truly inspire me, the bugs come out. One of the reasons why I shoot macro is simply the availability of subject matter. To be a great wildlife photographer one has to spend at inordinate amount of time in the bush following wildlife. Unless you already have a job that allows you this kind of access, full-time wildlife photographer is an extremely hard profession to follow, an most definitely an exorbitantly expensive one too. Macro, on the other hand, allows a photographic safari in miniature the moment you step out the door. Not that I wouldn't love to go an shoot exotic animals in far-flung corners of the world mind you. But until National Geographic comes beating a path to my door to hurl obscene amounts of equipment at me along with a return flight to 'insert dream photographic destination here', I'll just have to keep shooting the little critters.


Tanya + Arthur love to go to concerts, spending time with friends and their dogs and going to live sports games. So it was very fitting when Arthur proposed to Tanya on Opening Day at Fenway! Arthur had contacted Fenway to let them know where they were sitting and when he was planning on doing it so they could be on the big screen but just before "the time" Tanya insisted on getting a hot dog because she was starving! So it happened next to the condiment and napkin station!

In addition, there are a lot of traditional Japanese games and activities for your children to enjoy, including an origami workshop, games section, and traditional dance performances. Shoppers can also get a taste of Japanese food and products such as Yukata, hair pieces, and decorations.
The highlights of the event will include a prayer ceremony led by priest Takebe, the 38th priest of Ikimi Tenmangu Shrine who was specially flown in from Kyoto. There will also be a tuna cutting demo by an experienced Japanese chef, followed by an auction selling the tuna and sashimi afterwards.
If you're interested in attending this year's Shichi-Go-San event, don't forget to check out their official Facebook page today!

Q: Integrate Activiti Modeler using Maven How one can integrate Activiti Modeler into their own web application and keep all the advantages Maven suggests?
The probem is that Activiti Modeler in Maven is part of Activiti Explorer. There are several questions online from people who want to develop their own web applications, use Modeler to edit the processes, but don't need other Explorer features.
For example, Activiti BPM without activiti-explorer or How To Integrate Activiti Modeller Into own Web Application

A: I have managed to do this using Maven overlay feature:
1) include overlay of Explorer web app, but include only the Modeler files:
pom.xml:
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
        <artifactId>activiti-webapp-explorer2</artifactId>
        <version>${activiti-version}</version>
        <type>war</type>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
....
</dependencies>
<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.6</version>
            <configuration>
                <overlays>
                    <overlay>
                        <groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
                        <artifactId>activiti-webapp-explorer2</artifactId>
                        <includes>
                            <include>WEB-INF/classes/stencilset.json</include>
                            <include>editor-app/**</include>
                            <include>modeler.html</include>
                        </includes>
                    </overlay>
                </overlays>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

2) add modeler Spring resources. They are used to retrieve and to save models (note: not process definitions, it's kinda different thing) and also to serve the stencilset:
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
        <artifactId>activiti-modeler</artifactId>
        <version>${activiti-version}</version>
    </dependency>

3) that would be it but it won't actually work in your application unless it is called "activiti-explorer". Add a file to your project called "editor-app/app-cfg.js", and add the following content there:
editor-app/app-cfg.js:
'use strict';
var ACTIVITI = ACTIVITI || {};
ACTIVITI.CONFIG = {
        'contextRoot' : window.location.pathname.substring(0,window.location.pathname.lastIndexOf('/')),
};

This is actually a copy of the native app-cfg, which contains the strange "/activiti-explorer/service" setting for context root. We change it to more generic setting. It will be used to retrieve models from the repository. Our file will overlay the one that ships with explorer webapp.
Notes:
a) you have to manage conversion of process definitions to models by yourselves. For an idea, see https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/blob/activiti-5.19.0.1/modules/activiti-explorer/src/main/java/org/activiti/editor/ui/ConvertProcessDefinitionPopupWindow.java
b) I had to avoid using one Jackson Object Mapper for everything, I haven't research why this didn't work:
<bean id="objectMapper" class="com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper">
</bean>
<mvc:annotation-driven>
    <!-- using the same objectMapper leads to stencilset resource being served as string -->
    <mvc:message-converters register-defaults="true">
        <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
            <property name="objectMapper" ref="objectMapper"/>
        </bean>
    </mvc:message-converters>
</mvc:annotation-driven>

Don't do this or research more, as this actually breaks the stencilcet resurce serving part of the "activiti-modeler". It starts serving stencilset as a malformed string instead normal json.
c) I had no idea how to inject CSRF security headers in the Modeler saving function, so I switched it off - if you don't use Spring Security, discard this


Afghanistan 2014. Approaching the withdrawal of troops, Captain Antares Bonassieu and his section are assigned to a control and monitoring mission in a remote valley of the Wakhan, Pakistan border. Despite the determination of Antares and his men, control of this so-called calm sector will gradually crumble. On a September night, some soldiers start to mysteriously disappear in the valley.

Laguna de Bay is a large shallow freshwater body in the heart of Luzon Island located east of Metro Manila between the provinces of Laguna to the south and Rizal to the north. With an aggregate area of about 911 km2 (352 sq mi), Laguna de Bay is the largest known lake in the Philippines .
Laguna de Bay has an average depth of about 2.8 metres (9 ft 2 in) and an elevation of about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) above sea level. The lake is shaped like a stylized 'W', with two peninsulas jutting out from the northern shore. Between these peninsulas, the middle lobe fills the large volcanic Laguna Caldera. In the middle of the lake is the Talim Island.
Laguna de Bay means "Lake of [the town of] Bay" for the lakeshore town of Bay (pronounced as "Bä'ï"), the former provincial capital of Laguna province.

I am a wildlife/marine biologist and animal lover. I have diverse experience in animal care and training, which includes everything from pet sitting for friends and family, working with injured and orphaned wildlife, and even training chipmunks for a BBC documentary!
As a 3rd year graduate student, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work from anywhere, as long as I have some internet connection. Prior to grad school, I lived and worked as a biologist and scuba instructor in several countries, which included managing several field stations, conservation projects, and research teams. Visit my website at www.alessiakockel.com to learn more.
I am very reliable, tidy (always leaving a place clearer than I found it), active (love long walks and hiking), and quick to adapt to new places. As a former pet owner of a 18 year schnauzer, I know the importance of trusting your home and beloved pets to someone that respectful, responsible, and will care for them as much as you do. I am very happy to take great care for your home and your pets, and am very willing to do standard ground maintenance and gardening.
I can also provide great references as a pet and house sitter. Just ask!
I am currently working on completing my Master's thesis. I prefer to work off campus, and I am looking for a peaceful place to write, preferably with a furry friend to keep me company and active.
I have both personal and professional experience in animal care and training. My educational and work background includes working with diverse animals, including small and large mammals, reptiles/amphibians, fish, and birds. I have been responsible for the daily operation and maintenance of various field stations. I regularly house sit for friends and family in Canada, Italy, and the Philippines.
Alessia house sat for us for 3 weeks in November. John and I gave her a 5 on all sections. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our house and Henry.
Alessia is absolutely great! We had a great vacay knowing that our home, fish tank and most importantly our dog was in safe and loving hands. Our dog got to go on adventure whilst we did too. We came back to our home like we left, clean, fresh bedding and towels. Would definitely request Alessia again in the future!!
Alessia housesitted for me for a month while I was away on a business trip. I could not have been happier with the way she took care of my house and my cat. I came back and the house was cleaner than when I left it. She gave me frequent updates on how my cat was doing, followed to instructions to the letter on how to take care of him and even got him a few little toys so that she could play with him. I would recommend her to anybody who's looking for a reliable and responsible housesitter!
Alessia was an amazing housesitter. Not only did she keep my place spotless, but she took great care of my dog. My dog is very active and I left her specific instructions for him on his routines and his exercises. She went above and beyond: walks, jogs, dog park and games.

As a new business owner, you need a dedicated credit card to handle expenses. Getting one of these cards not only allows you to keep business and personal purchases separate, but also gives you access to perks and rewards to help you save money and grow your business.
There are a wide range of business credit cards available from major credit card issuers, and each has its own benefits. Here's what you need to know: what benefits to look for and how to compare rewards programs to choose the right card for your business expenses.
Some business cards charge an annual fee in exchange for premium perks, and these fees can be hefty. According to ValuePenguin, the highest average fee is $190 per year, an amount many new businesses can't afford to pay. When starting your business, you need to keep as much money as possible available to invest in daily operations and initial growth. Even a single annual fee can eat away at your cash flow and wind up setting you back.
Fortunately, there are many no-fee business credit cards and low APRs. Companies like Chase, American Express, and Capital One offer cards with no annual fees and introductory rates of zero percent. When considering these cards, look at what the APR will be after the introductory rates. Consider your credit rating and what APR you're likely to qualify for to find the best offer for your business. Remember cash flow can be unpredictable during the first years of running a company, so you need to find a rate you can afford should you be unable to pay off your balance in full each month.
Note not all these rewards are available from cards without annual fees. Look at what each issuer offers to determine if it's worth signing up for one of their cards.
Business cards also offer more common rewards in the form of points or cash back bonuses. Points accumulate for every dollar you spend, either at a flat rate or a special rate for purchases in specific categories. Cash back is issued as a percentage of each purchase.
Because you can often get more points or a higher cash back percentage by spending money on certain goods or services, it literally pays to look for a card offering better rates in the categories from which you make most of your business purchases.
Consider the type of business you run as you compare credit card offers. Do you and your employees work in an office? Look for a card with bonuses on purchases of office supplies and electronics. Are you in retail or foodservice? Find out if you can earn perks when buying inventory from specific vendors. Some card companies may also partner with a select group of merchants to offer additional discounts on or benefits from purchases.
Fundera.com suggests dividing current and expected expenses by category to get an idea of which offers are most beneficial for your business. Include purchases employees make for the company to determine if adding employee cards could help you earn more points or cash back rewards. Narrow down available offers to those with perks in the most relevant categories. If you travel a lot, a card offering miles for every dollar spent or cash back to use on specific travel expenses may be your best choice.
Some issuers also give bonuses to business owners who spend a certain amount within a given window of time after signing up for a card. Because these benefits are only offered once, they're not worthwhile unless you know you can hit the spending threshold before the promotion expires.
Whether you choose a card with points or cash back, decide in advance how you're going to take advantage of the perks you earn. Cash back can generally be used for anything, including purchasing inventory, covering payroll, paying for renovations or investing in growth opportunities. Some businesses turn card rewards into employee bonuses by using travel miles to finance trips or cash back to purchase gift certificates and event tickets for top performers.
Just be sure to use your rewards before they expire.
There's a good chance credit card companies will start flooding you with offers as soon as you register your business, but don't just snap up the first one you find in your mailbox. Compare all the offers you receive and do additional research to discover options available from other card companies.
Don't worry about finding a card with everything you think you'll need in the long term. Choose a card with the benefits you need the most while getting your business off the ground. You can always upgrade to a different card in the future as your business grows and your needs change.
