Fort Victoria (Isle of Wight)
Fort Victoria is a former military fort on the Isle of Wight, England (grid reference SZ339898), built to guard the Solent. The earliest fort on the site was a coastal fort known as Sharpenode Bulwark built in 1545-7 by Henry VIII, but these defences had fallen into disrepair by the 17th century. Fort Victoria was built in the 1850s. It was a brick-built triangular fort with two seaward batteries meeting at a right angle. It remained in use until 1962. Parts of the fort were subsequently demolished, and what remains has become part of Fort Victoria Country Park.

Fort Victoria is situated on Sconce Point west of Yarmouth. Its position overlooks the whole of the Needles Passage and approaches to Yarmouth,[1] and is almost opposite Hurst Castle on the mainland.[2] Around 1 kilometer to the southwest lies Fort Albert.
Earlier forts
The earliest fort on the site was Sharpenode Bulwark (also Sharpnode or Sharpnore) which was constructed in 1545-7 as part of Henry VIII's coastal defences.[1] It was about 700 metres east from an earlier fortification known as Worsley's Tower.[3] Sharpenode Bulwark was a square earthwork with two angle bastions.[3] It fell into disrepair and was repaired or even replaced in 1587 by George Carey Captain of the Island.[1] This became known as Carey's Sconce.[4] The defences are said to have fallen into disrepair by 1623,[1] and at the beginning of the 19th century only ruins remained.[4]
Fort Victoria was built in the 1850s. It is a brick-built triangular fort with concrete gun-floors.[1] It has two seaward batteries meeting at a right angle.[5] It became a functioning part of the new batteries on the heights above.[1] At the same time a pier was built to serve the fort.[6] It effectively became a military barracks and storehouse until rearmed with more modern armament in the 1880s.[1] During the First and Second World Wars the fort saw service as a landing point and for storage.[1] Between the wars it saw little use with the royal engineers leaving in 1920.[6]
In the 1930s a proposal was made to run a car ferry between Fort Victoria and Keyhaven on the mainland.[7] An act of parliament was obtained in 1936 but a lack of funds meant the proposal was abandoned in 1938.[7]
At the start of World War II the fort was used as a training battery for coastal gunners and it was equipped with torpedo tubes mounted on the pier.[1][6] After the war it was used as a National Service training station.[8] Its military use came to an end in 1962.[1]
What remains today is a fragment of the fort.[5] The rear barracks blocks were demolished in 1969 to provide material for sea defences and Isle of Wight Council purchased what remained of the fort soon afterwards.[8] The fort is now a Grade II Listed Building.[5]
Fort Victoria Country Park
Today the fort is part of Fort Victoria Country Park which occupies 20 hectares of woodland and shore on the northwest coast of the Isle of Wight.[9] The fort houses a number of attractions including an underwater archaeology centre (Sunken Secrets), a planetarium and a model railway.[10]
The derelict pier can still be seen.[6]

Archaeology Discover Centre
The Archaeology Discover Centre (formerly Sunken Secrets and the Underwater Archaeology Centre) is a museum located in Fort Victoria on the Isle of Wight, England.
The museum is run by archaeologists based on the Isle of Wight. It is housed in five of the fort's former casemates. Since it was opened in 1990 the museum has been used to display exhibits recovered from several local shipwrecks and the submerged landscapes of the Solent. These include the wrecks of HMS Pomone, HMS Invincible, the Yarmouth Roads Wreck and Bouldnor Cliff. The museum also houses an exhibition about the history of Fort Victoria itself.
Like most attractions in the fort the museum only operates from Easter to autumn, during which time it opens daily and occasionally holds activity and community events.

Seesaw searchlight
Seesaw searchlights were an early electric powered searchlight first developed in the 1870s used in conjunction with coast artillery.
The searchlight consisted of an electric carbon lamp, capable of a strong beam for target illumination, because the bulb was vulnerable to enemy fire, it was protected in a recessed emplacement whilst a large mirror, attached to the end of a 'see-saw' pivoting iron beam reflected the beam across the water to the target. The light was powered by steam engines usually housed in the nearby forts.Only a few of these were built anywhere in the British Empire, and were difficult to operate and were never successful and New Zealand's example had been abandoned by 1899.

Hahnemann closure causes baby boom at Jefferson
By TaRhonda Thomas
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- When Hahnemann University Hospital shut down its labor and delivery unit on July 12, staff members at Jefferson University Hospital knew they'd better brace for a lot more babies.
"Our goal has always been to focus on the city of motherly love," said Dr. Jason Baxter, Director of Inpatient Obstetrics at Jefferson.
Baxter said it's sad that Hahnemann closed, leaving so many people without the care they'd come to depend on.
Jefferson was a safety net for many of those patients, including expectant mothers.
The hospital is now seeing a roughly 50% increase in the number of babies it anticipates delivering a year. That number will now stand at approximately 3,000 babies per year.
Instead of delivering five babies a day like it used to, Jefferson now delivers closer to seven babies a day.
One-day-old Lamazzi is one of them. His mother, Erica Jackson, had been a patient at Hahnemann until it closed. She immediately made her plan to deliver at Jefferson.
"I wasn't scared. I knew where I was going to go after that," Jackson said.
The doctors, nurses and staff at Jefferson said they're happy to be the safety net.
With more moms and babies comes the need for more space.
"On Monday, will be opening a new OB floor," said Baxter. "That's our first new OB floor this century."
Jefferson also sped up the process to hire nearly 20 providers from Hahnemann.
"Literally on the day that Hahnemann's labor and delivery (department) closed, we were delivering Drexel patients here at Jefferson," said Baxter.
One of the people hired from Hahnemann was a doctor who helped deliver the last baby at Hahnemann.
"When crisis arises, I'm proud to say I work with people who stepped up to the plate," said Baxter.

Lesbian Mother Petitions Against Florida Middle School for Forcing Teen Son to Remove Makeup
By Garrett Haley on June 16, 2013 No Comment
ST. PETERSBURG – A mother has filed a petition against her 14-year-old son's middle school after he was not allowed to wear makeup on his last day of classes.
Chris Martin, an 8th grader at St. Petersburg's Meadowlawn Middle School, decided to wear mascara, eye liner, eye shadow, and black lipstick to his school on June 5th, which was the last day of classes. In addition, he wore a shirt with an overt anarchist message. Upon arriving at the school, administrators asked Martin to remove the makeup, saying it was a violation of the dress code.
According to reports, Martin claims the principal called the cosmetics "distracting," and told him it was "completely ridiculous and unnecessary for boys to wear makeup."
"I was upset because they wouldn't let me keep my makeup on," Martin commented, "and I didn't think it was fair that I had to take it off."
Martin has two lesbian mothers—Katelynn Martin and Jamie Himes. Both were outraged by the school's action against their son, describing the event as "shocking," "unacceptable," "distressing," and an example of "intolerance."
"I can't believe in this day and age that someone would think this was that big of an issue," Katelynn remarked.
Since the incident, officials at Meadowlawn Middle School have been mostly quiet and unresponsive to media requests for comments. However, a district spokeswoman revealed to the Tampa Bay Times that there is important "confidential" information that Martin's mothers have been leaving out of their story.
Nevertheless, Katelynn is prodding onward with a petition to the county school board entitled "Pinellas County (FL) School Board: Don't Side With the Bullies!" The effort insists that schools become more "accepting places for all students," and pushes for the integration of homosexual-friendly programs into school policies.
"Require tolerance training for all administrators and faculty, encourage gay-straight alliance (GSA) clubs in all secondary schools, and sponsor an inclusive curriculum that includes positive images of the LGBTQ community," the petition outlines.
Since published on MoveOn.org, the petition has received over 10,000 online signatures.
Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sent a letter to the superintendent of the school board on Wednesday, demanding that action be taken to prohibit further "sex discrimination." It also argued that if female students can wear makeup at school, then male students should be allowed to do the same.
"The fact that a student's outward appearance is gender-nonconforming does not give school administrators a license to discriminate," the letter reads. "The school's policy regarding makeup must treat all students equally. We hope you will ensure that school administrators in your district adhere to these legal obligations."
Since the incident came to light, hundreds have weighed in on the issue. While some have voiced their support for Martin's cause, others have sided with the principal and school officials.
"Public schools are for our children to learn," one individual wrote. "Anything that disturbs the learning should not be tolerated. I think the principal did the right thing. Sensitivity is not the issue."

The Garden is a destination all-day food-and-beverage space for hotel guests and local Edinburgh residents, located within the former courtyard of the Principal Edinburgh Charlotte Square. Taking inspiration from the great hothouses and orangeries of historic country estates, Goddard Littlefair was tasked with developing a green heart to the scheme, transforming the previous outdoor space into a year-round dining destination.
Filled with plants, trees, hanging baskets and vines, the new space is a biophilic delight, with the new glass roof providing natural lighting and open views of the sky, resulting in the creation of a magical oasis, right in the heart of the hotel.


The Koi Isolation Cage has 4 sides, a bottom, and zipped cover is bordered with strong nylon rope made from 1/4" ace knotless polyester netting. This allows for excellent water circulation. Excellent for in pond Koi observation, the Koi Isolation Cage provides a secure area when introducing new Koi and allows for separation when treating Koi.
1) Connect 4 PVC pipes together using the PVC elbows.
2) Repeat this step twice to get two PVC square frames.
3) Use Tie Wraps to attach PVC square frames to the top and the bottom of the netting.

Now that the holiday rush is over and the novelty of the New Year has passed, it is a good time to look at the year ahead. At the two-week mark in January, statistics show that nearly 50% of all people that make New Year's Resolutions have abandoned them at this point. I tend to think this is because most "resolutions" aren't realistic and cannot be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle.
I love the idea of reflecting on the year past and setting realistic goals for your year rather and incorporating them into your schedule, so they become part of your lifestyle, rather than making resolutions. Your goals can be reevaluated on a regular basis; make your goals attainable and integrate them into your every-day life.
Find an Accountability Partner – Making changes is hard enough, but doing it alone is even harder! Find a partner that you can connect with, one that will motivate you, inspire you, that will be an ear when you need someone to listen, a shoulder when you need it, and someone who isn't afraid to give it to you straight. It is helpful if this person is going after the same goal; you are stronger together!
Set Attainable Goals – Setting realistic goals is important. If you want to run a marathon, you may want to set milestones to get there. Going from vegging out on your couch one week to a full marathon the next is not realistic. This is how people break resolutions. Set a long-term goal and milestones along the way. For example, if your goal is to eat more real food and you've never cooked anything outside of a frozen meal, start with integrating one fresh meal a day, look up recipes online, plan your meals, shop smarter, and you'll be a real food expert in no time!
Make Your Goal Part of Your Day – If you set a goal, you need to schedule time to accomplish it; what you make time for is your priority. Set a reminder in your phone, write it in your calendar, block out the time in your schedule. This is how your "goal" becomes part of your lifestyle; you integrate it into your daily life!
Document Your Success…and Failures – Let's face it, there will be good days and bad days. Write them down: the good, the bad, and the ugly. You will be able to modify your milestones and your end goals by this documentation. If you failed one day, write down why. You'll be more successful if you learn from your mistakes…and don't forget to celebrate your successes!
Believe in Yourself! – This is hard to do sometimes; this is why it is important to have a support system (see #1 above). If you set the goal, you can modify it, you can create milestones, you can set your own pace. Focus on your progress, not just results. Just because you slip up one day, doesn't mean you are starting over – it is a lifestyle change, not a simple one-time resolution, right? You can do it!
January is generally a very cold month and because of that, not only is it National Soup Month, but it is also National Oatmeal Month. Did you know that more oatmeal is sold in January than any other month in the year? I am a big fan of Oatmeal for breakfast and I love making a big batch of steel cut oats and eating them throughout the week, mixing in different fruit each morning. Here is my go-to easy recipe that is sure to keep you full of energy for whatever your day brings, and especially perfect for these extra cold January mornings.
There's a great outdoor cafe in Los Angeles called Urth Cafe and you might have seen it on Entourage – Vinnie and the boys eat there in nearly every other episode. It is a major celebrity haunt. Anyway they serve this amazing bowl of steel-cut oats with all the fruits, nuts and milk served on the side as you see here. It is one of the better breakfast dishes in town and now you can bring this celeb-favorite home for yourself.
After the holidays, you want to eat something pure, healthy and fresh so you can sort of recover as you venture out into the cold and shop your heart out. And there's still no better feel-good meal than a homemade soup to warm you up.
Low in fat and high in nutrients, perfect for detoxing from a food hangover. Add some toasted sourdough bread for the perfect PC Combo (if you don't know what a PC Combo is, check out my book Skinny Chicks Don't Eat Salads or the Flat Belly Food System).
Step 1 – *If you are using raw meat, cube the meat and marinate for at least one hour with minced garlic, sea salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, extra virgin olive oil and dry thyme.
Step 2 – Sauté in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and set aside until the last five minutes of cooking the soup.
Step 3 – Combine first 13 ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil.
Step 4 – Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Step 5 – Add turkey and rice and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Step 6 – Stir in fresh parsley. Season soup with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
Step 7 – Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and serve.
Something very exciting is happening this month! My incredible husband, and chairman of JDFF, Jonathon Fischer, is running The World Marathon Challenge! I am so excited and very proud of him. This is something that he did not just "decide" to do last minute; he set a goal, then smaller milestones, and worked very hard to get here. You can read a personal note from Jonathon and how he trained for the marathon here. This is a huge encouragement for anyone trying to set goals for 2017.
The World Marathon Challenge is this: 7 Marathons in 7 Days on 7 Continents! It is the only event that offers the opportunity to run 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days. Participants run 295 km (183 miles) over the seven-day period, spend 59 hours in the air and fly approximately 38,000 km (23,612 miles).
Michael Wardian won the 2008, 2009 and 2010 US 50 km championships and the Washington D.C. Marathon in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
To read more about the race, you can view the full press release on the JDFF website. You can also connect with JDFF for updates on Twitter and Facebook the week of the race – send him your well wishes and encouragement on social media!
I would love to hear what goals you are setting for the New Year; connect with me on Facebook and Twitter to get the conversation going.

President Emmanuel Macron's popularity plunges to a record low
President Macron's popularity plunges to a record low with fewer than one in three French voters satisfied with his leadership
President Emmanuel Macron's popularity is at an all-time low
Just 29 per cent of respondents to a poll is satisfied with his leadership
The September poll marked a drop by five per cent from on in August
Comes as government unveiled £17.9bn tax cuts for businesses in 2019 budget
French President Emmanuel Macron's popularity is at its lowest level since the start of his term, according to a major tracker poll published on Sunday.
Just 29 per cent of respondents said they were satisfied with his leadership, down from 34 per cent last month and 39 per cent in July.
The President's low ratings comes as his government revealed its draft budget for 2019, promising billions of euros in tax relief for businesses to try to boost the growth which has failed to emerge during Macron's term.
Mr Not-so-popular: Only 29 percent of those surveyed in September said they were satisfied with President Emmanuel Macron, down from 34 percent in August
The results of the Ifop poll for Le Journal du Dimanche is broadly in line with other surveys that have shown the approval ratings of the centrist falling sharply following a scandal involving a security aide in July.
The results reinforce a longer-term trend of French voters turning quickly on their presidents soon after their election – something suffered by Macron's predecessors Francois Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy.
Emmanuel Macron 'threatens to SNUB crunch EU summit to seal…
Macron is branded a 'complete prat' and accused of wanting…
But many analysts also believe Macron has made a series of political errors, including failing to address the scandals over the summer quickly enough and repeatedly creating negative headlines with harsh or condescending remarks.
His leadership style was again questioned last week when he told an unemployed gardener that he should look for a job in a restaurant or on a building site and implied he was not searching hard enough.
Macron's biggest challenge remains the economy, however, with his pro-business reforms failing so far to produce a significant fall in unemployment or a major uptick in growth.
Going down: President Macron, seen welcoming Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the Elysee Palace in Paris last week, unveiled his 2019 draft budget today
In an attempt to trigger such growth, the French government today unveiled a combined 20 billion euros (£17.9billion) of tax cuts for businesses and six billion euros in tax relief for households, including a gradual end to an annual housing tax.
'The long-term goal is to build a new French prosperity that will benefit all French people in all regions,' Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said as he presented the budget in Paris.
Critics say most people have been left behind by Macron's policies so far, which have seen him raise taxes on retirees while cutting a wealth tax on top earners.
Pensions and welfare benefits will be shaved further in the 2019 budget – Macron complained in June that France spends 'a crazy amount of dough' on social programmes.
And 4,100 more public sector jobs will be axed as Macron aims for a deficit of 2.8 per cent of GDP, below the three per cent limit set for EU members.
Higher taxes on fuel and cigarettes will also hit consumers next year.
The survey by Ifop published on Sunday was conducted between September 14-22 on 1,964 people.
Macron's approval rating of 29 per cent includes three per cent of people who declared themselves 'very satisfied' and 26 per cent who said they were 'mostly satisfied.'
Hollande had an inferior rating of 23 per cent at the same time of his term and Sarkozy had a rating of 34 per cent.

Delete subvolume '/mnt/2014-07-28'
ERROR: cannot delete '/mnt/2014-07-28' - Operation not permitted

Delete subvolume '/mnt/2014-07-28'
ERROR: cannot delete '/mnt/2014-07-28' - Device or resource busy

if it's busy, I shouldn't be able to do this, should I?
teneighty@teneighty-MS-7924:/$ sudo umount /mnt

but it unmounts quietly. Although I tested and it will unmount even if I have /mnt/2014-07-28 open in a file manager.
I created the snapshot after installing kubuntu 14.04, and then performed a substantial system update. After the update I created another snapshot, and I was able to delete that one without a problem. But the one I want to delete is the preupdate snapshot since everything is working fine post-update, I don't expect I will need to roll back to a fresh installion stage.
I have also attempted to delete it using the kubuntu live USB I installed from, that didn't work either. Then I tried apt-btrfs-snapshot delete, and
It is likely that this snapshot was originally located at @/snapshots/2014-07-28, and then I gained a better understanding of the ubuntu BTRFS layout from documentation at help.ubuntu.com, so I moved my snapshots to the root BTRFS volume. I tried to move it back, but it returned the same error.
What could be causing this error on a snapshot? Why would apt-btrfs-snapshot say it is busy? I don't know where to go from here, but as the file system changes, I am going to need that space back.

A: First check which subvol is default by:
$ sudo btrfs subvol list /mnt/

ID 326 gen 508633 top level 5 path @
$ sudo btrfs subvol get-default /mnt/
ID 319 gen 508029 top level 5 path @plasma

I want to delete @plasma subvol. I had same error while I want to delete (Operation not permitted). You need to change default subvol:
$ sudo btrfs subvol set-default 326 /mnt/

Choose new default subvol by ID. After this you will be able to delete subvol:
$ sudo btrfs subvol delete -v /mnt/@plasma/
Transaction commit: none (default)
Delete subvolume (no-commit): '/mnt/@plasma'

Cancer diagnosis for two pals means I need to tell you something – Steve Cardownie
I have used my column before to encourage men over the age of 40 to make an appointment with their GP to get their prostate checked. I have documented my contact with prostate cancer before and, at the risk of boring the reader, I make no bones about returning to the subject.
Wednesday, 27th March 2019, 6:00 am
A Prostate Cancer UK display promotes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Picture: John Devlin
This has been prompted by a recent blood test I had to determine my prostate specific antigen levels (PSA), the results of which I was given yesterday. PSA is a substance produced by the prostate gland and an elevated level may indicate cancer, a non-cancerous condition such as prostatitis, or an enlarged prostate. Men with prostate cancer often have levels higher than four, although cancer is a possibility at any PSA level.
The PSA test is not perfect and most men with elevated levels will have prostate enlargement which is a normal part of the ageing process and is no cause for concern but I formed the view that I would rather go through a short period of anxiety and get the all-clear than being blissfully unaware that I had a problem until it became more serious.
I had no symptoms, had never been offered a prostate check by any GP and only found out last year, at the age of 65, that I had an issue that had to be addressed and this was only as a result of a casual conversation during a routine blood test I had with a nurse during which I asked for my PSA level to be determined.
My level was 9.4 and after a biopsy at the Western General Hospital identified a cancerous tumour I was informed of several potential treatments that were suitable for me. After weighing everything up I plumped for Brachytherapy, which entailed the placing of 90 radioactive seeds which emit radiation for approximately six months in the prostate gland and, so the theory goes, kill off the cancerous cells in the tumour. A simple procedure, I was in the operating theatre at 11.30am and the pub by 5.30pm.
Steve Cardownie: I have cancer '" but I'm glad I asked for test
Since undergoing treatment, however, two friends of mine have told me that they now have prostate cancer. Both had elevated PSA levels and cancer was confirmed in both cases after a biopsy.
I spoke to both of them last weekend, as one of them only got his results a few days ago. He is now considering which is the best way forward for him and as the matter was identified when the cancer was at early stage he is in the fortunate position that he has a choice. My other friend, however, has not been so lucky and his only option is to have his prostate surgically removed although, pleasingly, both are entirely confident that they will successfully recover.
The news of my friends' diagnosis has prompted me to return to this subject and I am unapologetic for doing so. All men aged 40 years and over are entitled to a blood test to establish PSA levels. If, after discussing it with a GP, they want a test the GP is obliged to carry one out.
The blood is usually extracted from the arm and is then sent off for analysis which takes a few days and, depending on the results, a biopsy may be offered. This is another painless process which can identify if cancer is present or not and, if so, the treatment is usually remarkably successful, with an 84 per cent survival rate. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in males in the UK, accounting for 26 per cent of all new cancer cases in males in the UK (2015) and early diagnosis and treatment can make all the difference.
On the date of my operation last September my PSA level was 13.2 – yesterday it was 1.4, so it looks like a cause for celebration. But another cause for celebration would be an increase in the number of men who have had their prostate checked.
I have used this page to try and spread the message, whether successfully or not I cannot gauge, although hopefully somebody may have found it useful. But for me the matter is now closed and this particular soapbox has been retired.


Got the Duet wifi. First told to connect it. Wiki seems to contain only Windows instructions. Even the section for host systems other than windows, then goes ahead and gives you instructions for Windows 10.
OK, I don't have a windows machine. I know that might seem crazy to you, but I pretty much do everything on a high spec Chromebook. I don't ever connect to my printer, I only ever use OctoPi via the browser.
However, I am hoping that my OctoPi can help me out here. Can I use it to update the firmware somehow? I know there is a terminal window to send commands, anyone done this or am likely to be tearing my hair out for the next few hours!
You can update the firmware via the web interface, once you get connected.
You may be able to get connected by using OctoPi to send the M587 command to set your WiFi networkdetails, if Octopi is capable of sending the password string without garbling any special characters in it.
OK I'll try that. Still be nice to have some instructions for those of us who don't have Windows though!
Wow, even an ancient version of OctoPi connected straight away and configured the wifi. I'm connected!
```Do I need to replace that IP address with the one I've bookmarked? Bit apprehensive about power off and not being able to reconnect!
That IP address in the M552 command is ignored on the Duet WiFi. If you want the IP address to be fixed, you must specify it and the gateway IP address in the M587 command. But your router will probably allocate the same IP address to the Duet WiFi every time anyway.
That seems right, I did a restart and it showed up at the same IP address. Very pleased so far. Much easier than I thought it was going to be.
Excited for tomorrow to try it out and configure the firmware.

Drought hits Nghệ An Province
A farmer in Hưng Châu Commune, Hưng Nguyên District of Nghệ An Province sit at his dry field. Prolonged drought in the central Nghệ An Province has left rice fields fallow. — Photo ngheanonline.vn
NGHỆ AN – Prolonged drought in the central Nghệ An Province has left rice fields fallow and local residents without water.
Yên Thành District's agriculture and rural development sector said that according to their estimates, about 1,500ha in the district were unable to be cultivated, and 3,000ha of summer-autumn rice were left unwatered. Forty to 60 per cent of households in mountainous communes were lacking water for daily usage because wells had dried up.
Lê Đình Hùng, vice chairman of the People's Committee of Hùng Thành Commune in Yên Thành District, said farmers could not grow rice in 234ha in the commune because all eight reservoirs in the commune had run out of water.
More than 30 households in the commune had to dig new wells over the past month to seek new sources of water.
The cost for this work increased because water could only be found at a depth of 50-60 metres, instead of 30-40 metres as usual.
The surging demand for new wells also made it difficult to hire people to do this work, said Nguyễn Viết Tân, head of Sơn Thành hamlet.
"My family has waited for 15 days, but is still unable to hire people to dig a new well," Tân said.
He said drought was not a new phenomenon in his locality, but it was so severe that people could not grow rice for the summer-autumn crop this year, which was unusual.
Yên Thành District's People's Committee has decided to support local residents with VNĐ3-5 million for every new well to ease the burden.
Severe water shortages have also affected nearly 2,000 households with 9,000 people in the mountainous Nghi Văn Commune in Nghi Lộc District.
Nguyễn Thị Thơm in hamlet 20 said her family had to sell their only cow to get money to dig a new well.
"For the past month, we have had to ask for water from other people in our hamlet for cooking. But water sources in the hamlet are also drying up, so we have to spend VNĐ16 million to get a new well," Thơm said.
Cao Cự Đăng, vice chairman of Nghi Văn's People's Committee, said the commune authority had asked local residents to share water with each other and use it economically to cope with the situation. – VNS

In the days after the election, millions of people around the world watched as President Obama delivered a heartfelt—and teary—speech to his campaign staff. "What you guys have done," he said to them, wiping away tears with his finger, "means that the work that I'm doing is important." It was both surprising and moving to see a man in a position traditionally known for coolness—under pressure always—overcome with such visible emotion.
In fact, emotions came up a lot throughout the election. Some of the most prominent issues were ones that spoke to us, our lives and our beliefs, very personally: our right to control our bodies, our right to marry whomever we want. We saw many tender moments between the candidates—though some more tender than most. Both during and after the election, the emotional vulnerability we saw from Obama far surpassed that of his opponent, making us wonder: Could emptions have contributed to Obama's win?

Europe divided by Russia. Is this the end of EU visas for Russians?
The case concerns the admission of citizens of the Russian Federation to the Schengen area. Should Russians be allowed to travel to European Union countries? Some countries are in favor of Russians being able to use the privilege of tourist visas and visit EU countries, while the rest are against this topic.
Estonia was the first country to ban Russian entry into its territory. From August 18, 2022. Russian citizens with an Estonian visa will not be admitted. Only those who can prove their residence there, who have relatives in Estonia and those who have visas from other Schengen countries (Estonian authorities are also working on this to prohibit Russian citizens from entering their country) can enter. Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas believes that tourism is a privilege and that is why, without waiting for decisions to be made by the European Union, it introduced these restrictions.
However, this is not the end of the government of this country. The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing proposals for the European Union to suspend the issuance of visas to Russian citizens. Of course, there are exceptions in this case as well – visas can be obtained in humanitarian cases, just as Alexei Navalny's associates received them.
The Czech Republic
Soon after Russia attacked Ukraine, the Czech government decided to stop issuing visas to citizens of the aggressive state. Belarus joined these restrictions soon. The Czech Republic, as chairman of the Council of Europe, wants to ban the issuing of tourist visas. They also ensure that it would still be possible to issue humanitarian visas. Czech politician Pavel Fischer criticized the behavior of some countries. "It's a shame how much money, which may be of criminal origin, the Russians spend on luxury goods in Berlin and Paris." It is also a shame that some EU countries still offer large Russian investors the option of obtaining citizenship or a residence permit, he said.
The Finnish government also opted to reduce Russian tourist traffic, therefore, from September, it will reduce the issuing of visas by 90%. However, this country does not cancel already issued visas, unlike Estonia, where it has been introduced.
The Polish government supports the visa ban for all Russians, and will therefore be debating this in the near future. As government spokesman Piotr Müller said, "We have not issued tourist visas for Russians for some time, so we do not have to join any alliance on tourist visas." 514 Russian citizens. Therefore, an attempt will be made to limit the issuance of them even more, because, as is well known, there are other visas than tourist visas.
In early April, after several members had been expelled from the Dutch embassy, the Netherlands decided to suspend issuing short-stay visas. Currently, they are issued in exceptional cases. Long-term visas are also not subject to restrictions.
Germany is one of those countries that are in favor of allowing Russians to come to the European Union. Olaf Scholz himself believes that the war in Ukraine is not a Russian war, but only Putin's war. He also emphasizes that we should not let all the decisions we make complicate our departure from the country or our flight from the dictatorship in Russia. The German opposition demands restrictions on the government, but this has no effect.
France also had comments here. They have a similar opinion as the Germans. They are not supporters of a total entry ban on Russians. They believe that a visa ban is not a good solution.
Opinion of the president of Ukraine
Volodymir Zelensky said that Western countries should impose a travel ban on all Russian citizens in order to stop the annexation of Ukrainian territories. As he said in an interview for the Washington Post, "the most important sanction is to close the borders, because the Russians are taking away lands from others." He also added that "Russians should live closed in their own world until they change their philosophy."
A pan-European decision
So far, pan-European activities have definitely limited tourist traffic. However, he is still there. Travel to Europe is possible, among others, through airports such as those in Istanbul or Dubai.
On August 31, 2022 in Prague, during the summit of the Council of the European Union, a decision on a travel ban for Russians is to be made. Probably it will not be unanimous, there is no consensus among states on this issue, and therefore it is unlikely that it will be possible to introduce another package of sanctions.

Peter Kerekes (* 3. dubna 1973, Košice) je slovenský dokumentarista, režisér, scenárista a producent.

Život
Peter Kerekes absolvoval studium na Vysoké škole múzických umění (VŠMU), obor dokumentární režie v Bratislavě (1991–1998). O rok později zde začal působit jako doktorand a od roku 2003 jako pedagog.

Věnuje se především dokumentární tvorbě. První filmy natočil už během studia. Jeho režijním debutem byl 16minutový snímek Človek o knihe, kniha o človeku, který produkovala Slovenská televize. V roce 1996 natočil další 16minutový film Jozsef Balog, Príbenník v produkci VŠMU.

Třetí, 50minutový film, natočený v koprodukci společnosti ARS Media, Slovenské a České televize Ladomírske morytáty a legendy (1998) zachycuje subjektivní vzpomínky obyvatel obce Ladomirová.

Do kinodistribuce vstoupil až šestým filmem 66 sezón (2003), ke kterému napsal i scénář. Jde o dlouhometrážní dokument, který zachycuje 66 sezón Staré plovárny v Košicích. Příběh dějin plovárny rámují obrazové vzpomínky režiséra na jeho dědečka. Nostalgický nádech snímku doplňuje vyprávění jeho babičky.

V roce 2004 a 2005 následovaly snímky Helpers a Pomník. Dokument Helpers je epizodou mezinárodního projektu Přes hranice, Über die Grenze – Fünf Ansichten von Nachbarn, v níž se pět režisérů pokusilo zobrazit zkušenosti nových členů Evropské unie, zejména ve vztahu ke starému členskému státu – Rakousku. Dokument Pomník je součástí 10dílného projektu Pomníky – staronová tvář Evropy, který vznikal po připojení nových států do Evropské unie. Každý díl představuje danou zemi prostřednictvím příběhu pomníku. Slovenský dokument vypráví příběh o maketě pomníku partyzánům, kterou kdysi filmaři zapomněli rozebrat, a ta se tak stala skutečnou vzpomínkou na hrdinství bojovníků.

V roce 2008 dokončil Kerekes druhý dlouhometrážní dokument Jak se vaří dějiny, jehož hrdiny jsou vojenští kuchaři z různých koutů Evropy. Film získal Zvláštní cenu poroty na MF dokumentárních filmů Hot Docs Toronto. Dokumentární snímek Svatba a rozvod z rozumu (2013) vznikl v rámci česko-slovenského koprodukčního projektu Colnica, který vznikl u příležitosti 20 let existence samostatných států.

V roce 2018 natočil Kerekes dokument BATAstories (česky Baťa, první globalista), který vznikl v koprodukci České televize a francouzsko-německé televizní stanice ARTE. Dokument představuje osobnosti Tomáše Bati i Jana Antonína Bati, jejich názory a hodnoty, spojující v sobě silný individualismus, dravé kapitalistické podnikání a zároveň silné sociální cítění. Vychází z historických faktů, ale i výpovědí bývalých zaměstnanců baťovských továren. Zobrazuje také život baťovských pokračovatelů na čtyřech kontinentech.
