Q: How can I automate data extraction in this website? (can't see query options, if any) I want to extract election results from this website (currently all data is at zero because voting is ongoing). In the menu you can select the data you want (I need "En Chile" -> "División Geográfica" -> "Comunas"). This is the voting results for each municipality ("comuna"). When you select the desired "comuna", then you can click the excel file and results are downloaded.
The "problem" is that no url is shown along the process. I cannot see the url link to the particular "comuna" I need. I was hoping to get a specific link so then I can automate using wget with the name of each municipality. Instead, the data seems to be masked. I know you can extract JSON data, perhaps using the properties shown in the website's HTML code:
<select class="form-control" id="selComunas" ng-model="comuSelected"
    ng-options="item.d for item in comunas" name="comunas"
    ng-show="(vistaVertical==='G' || vistaVertical==='E') && subMenu === null"
    ng-change="updateComuna()">
    <option value="">Comunas...</option>
</select>

But where to make the call? No idea. Also, I see no link to the excel file in the HTML. Stuff seems to be masked inside "ng" elements, which seems to be AngularJS, as far as I can read online. No idea how to proceed. As you can see, I'm noob on this. Any help is more than welcome.

A: Open chrome dev tools and look for something useful there while clicking on the UI
http://www.servelelecciones.cl/data/elecciones_constitucion/filters/comunas/all.json
This link returns all communas with their ids
[{"c":2564,"d":"ALGARROBO"},{"c":2801,"d":"ALHUE"},{"c":2674,"d":"ALTO BIOBIO"},...

Next thing, when we select value from dropdown, we get another link in network tab. Number in the end matches, isn't it?
http://www.servelelecciones.cl/data/elecciones_constitucion/computo/comunas/2570.json
      "d":"Integer",
      "e":"Integer",
      "f":"Integer",
      "sd":null
   },
   "data":[
      {
         "a":"Apruebo",
         "b":null,
         "c":"0",
         "d":"0,00%",
         "e":null,
         "f":"",
         "sd":null
      },
      {
         "a":"Rechazo",
         "b":null,
         "c":"0",
         "d":"0,00%",
         "e":null,
         "f":"",
         "sd":null
      }

From this point you can process JSON directly by whatever programming language you use

Dispute Adjudication Boards in (international) construction agreements
Construction - Real Estate - Construction and Real Estate
What is a Dispute Adjudication Board?
A Dispute Adjudication Board ('DAB') is meant to prevent disputes from escalating and it is established to promote the resolution of disputes while construction is still underway. Because of its promptly response, it is often useful as a method to prevent a dispute to be brought to court or an arbitral tribunal.
One of the reasons why the DAB is considered to be a success, is the high level of acceptance of its decisions by the parties. Both parties chose – by agreement – to use a DAB as a method of (alternative) dispute resolution and the parties appoint the members of the DAB themselves. Furthermore, the DAB will likely provide a thorough substantiation of its decision as a result of the legal and technical experience of its members and their involvement in the project, which makes the decision even more acceptable for the parties involved.
The difference between a Dispute Adjudication Board and a Dispute Review Board
The DAB must however not be confused with the Dispute Review Board ('DRB'). The main difference between those two boards is that the DRB gives recommendations – non-binding advice – and the DAB makes (conditionally) binding decisions regarding disputes.
A DAB decision is (conditionally) binding on parties
A DAB decision is (conditionally) binding on the parties and they have to promptly give effect to it. If a party does not agree with the decision of the DAB, it may send a 'Notice of Dissatisfaction' within a contractually agreed term after the decision has been rendered. Nevertheless, the decision of the DAB will still be binding on both parties. This only changes if the decision has – in a later stage – been revised.
If you would like to know more about Dispute Adjudication Boards in international construction agreements, our partner and Construction law specialist Jacob Henriquez has written an annotation on this matter regarding a judgement of the Court of First Instance of Curaçao (ECLI:NL:OGEAC:2018:19). This annotation was published in the Dutch Construction Law Review in February 2019 (TBR 2019/24).

I'm beginning to use Kupo's line of grip equipment alongside my Matthews gear and have been impressed- it's very good quality, at a price considerably lower than Matthews's lineup, and easily available in the southern CA area. I get mine from Samys Camera.
My 40″ extension arm and grip head w hex stud have been helpful for interview setups, instructional videos and studio stills; they make it easy to rig a light, microphone, flag, scrim or reflector with freedom of movement and great stability. I like that the grip head on the extension arm is permanently attached and will not rotate. They attach to any standard light stand.
At the same time, I can reserve the boom/jib for mounting a B or C camera.

July 2010 Forecast
By Michael Lynderey
2010's July is a strange little month, with a few surer bets hedged among a group of films that might end up at roughly the same box office place. A lot of questions abound: What's Inception going to be like? Will anything finish with less than $40 million? And could this be the first July in a long time without a single $200 million earner? Stay tuned.
1. Inception (July 16, 2010)
Introducing possibly the biggest wild card of the summer, and the season's one remaining title that Internet-frequenting movie fans are still salivating over. Inception's trailer mixes fantastical dreamworld special effects with more conventional action and thriller elements, and its pedigree certainly shows good breeding: it is unquestionably being positioned as the thematic follow-up to director Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight (the release date is no coincidence), and it stars Leonardo DiCaprio (back in box office's good graces after his stay at Shutter Island), along with an international hodgepodge of talent, including some Nolan vets (Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe). Early word is on the positive side, though the premise seems like a somewhat less bloody, more technologically-derived variation on what the Nightmare on Elm Street movies have been doing for some time now. Either way, if Nolan has done well here, the sky's the limit on the numbers.
P.S.: I sincerely hope that Inception doesn't have the same identikit, creatively-deprived ending as Shutter Island. Enough is enough with those.
Opening weekend: $64 million / Total gross: $191 million
2. The Last Airbender (July 1, 2010)
In the glory days of the 1990s, the 4th of July slot was reserved for mainstream mega-blockbusters that targeted every potential demographic, and thus raked in the grosses with aplomb (remember Independence Day, Men In Black, and Armageddon?). A decade later, the Independence Day slot has become a niche battleground arena for fanboy movies - the girls (Twilight: Eclipse) vs. their somewhat younger brothers (Last Airbender) - with both films possessing little apparent appeal outside their comfort zones. More to the point, I've long been confused as to the floor and ceiling of a Last Airbender movie, and the much-maligned choice of director has only added to my curiosity. There's no doubt that Last Airbender has a core base of support, and that's going to prop it up over opening weekend, as will the tiresome convert-or-die 3D. But the critics have really been going to town on this one, and that's going to chop, chop, chop away a lot of attendance from outside of the base. My guess: Airbender will join Prince of Persia and The A-Team as another summer 2010 franchise that wasn't. But it might just squeeze out about $100 million while it's at it.
Opening weekend: $61 million (four-day) / Total gross: $123 million
3. Despicable Me (July 9, 2010)
Another month, another unanimously critically-praised CGI megablockbuster. Despicable Me bears an uncanny resemblance (sort of) to the upcoming MegaMind (with the villain recast as protagonist), it contains the voice talent of the usual smorgasbord of Apatow alumns (Carell, Wiig, Segel - and Russell Brand?!?), and it features the token barrage of witty trailer jokes laughed at by everyone but me. Thus, to deny that Despicable Me will gross $100 million is to deny the inevitable. As a matter of fact, I believe it will bulk up a total take somewhat higher than the number I have allotted to it below. But gee, I couldn't really place a CGI cartoon above a big Fourth of July movie, could I? Some things are just sacred.
4. Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (July 30, 2010)
Here's a follow-up oft-rumored after the release of the first film (way back in 2001), but strangely greenlit only last year (see the upcoming Planet of the Apes prequel for more of this phenomenon). Look, after all the talking critter films we have seen (or have elected not to see) during the last few years, what more is there to say about this one? It would appear to be bright, sunny, inoffensive, and possessing the requisite amount of child-friendly humor. And without much in the way of special effects entertainment during the month's second half, what's there to stop it from breaking out? Not much, I think, and so it'll come in just under G-Force ($119 mil), whose release frame it has adopted as its own.
Opening weekend: $31 million / Total gross: $88 million
5. The Sorcerer's Apprentice (July 14, 2010)
Yet once more to the well we go with Nicolas Cage and Jerry Bruckehimer, with this particular entry in Brucky's road show reuniting some of the screenwriters, and cast (Alfred Molina, Toby Kebbell), of the recent Prince of Persia, and hoping for better luck, this time. As far as these things go, Sorcerer's Apprentice definitely has some intriguing visuals, even if the fantasy-adventure-dragons angle has slowly played itself out throughout the year. Basically, it's another one of those mid-level genre performers we're going to see a lot of this month, though I'm tempted to predict $100 million. Look to the reviews to decide this one's fate.
6. Salt (July 23, 2010)
Here's one of those mid-summer thrillers about government conspiracies, secret assassins, and car chases through New York - right in the tradition of The Manchurian Candidate and Pelham 1 2 3. The actors are respectable (Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber), the plot is intriguing, and the explosions are well spaced out through the trailer - but gee, action movies haven't been doing very well this summer, have they? Aside from that, through some inexplicable twist of cosmic fate, Angelina Jolie films can only gross $100 million if they're released in June (Shark Tale is the only exception). Therefore, when it comes to reaching three digits, I believe Salt is simply a month too late, although June 2011 still has a few slots open.
7. Ramona and Beezus (July 23, 2010)
Taking up the available family film spot, this seems like a pleasant enough concoction, with the source material a well-known if somewhat dated (1955) children's book. Wisely, this one's plugged in Disney starlet Selena Gomez, who's making her triumphant (?) big screen debut. Gomez is big in the right circles, and there's a large enough horde of adult actors around (Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Duhamel, and the inimitable Sandra Oh) to attract the over-14 set. If critics give it the go-ahead, this could really be one of the month's breakouts. All the elements are definitely in place.
8. Dinner for Schmucks (July 30, 2010)
Here's late summer's try for comedy glory, a belated remake of the 1998 French film The Dinner Game (between this and Death at a Funeral, re-doing overseas farces seems to be back in vogue). It's directed by comedy king (?) Jay Roach, helmer of multiple Austin Powers and Meet the Parents/Fockers films, and it's got Paul Rudd, yet again playing the straight man to some nut (see also Role Models and I Love You, Man). Said nut would be Steve Carell, this time, looking here like a ginger serial killer in the Robin Williams tradition. Normally, a Rudd-Carell ticket would mean sturdy box office, especially in what seems to be a notably doldrummy late July slot. But Dinner for Schmucks could be a little too weird (just wait till we get to Zach Galifianakis, and Diane, the puppet wife from hell), and the premise, which may sound like fun, isn't made real clear in the trailers. We shall see.
9. Predators (July 9, 2010)
The month's token reboot/sequel, loaded with a cast of action movies toughs (Topher Grace and Adrien Brody being the notable exceptions), along with the standard foreign-accented love interest (Alicia Braga). To tell the truth - on its own, the Predator series never particularly lit the box office on fire (not since the first film, anyway), and this one brings itself to the table only three years after the last Alien Vs. Predator. There's no doubt that the series possesses some dedicated fans, most of whom are ready to take in this latest installment. I'm just not sure if it's a little too soon for the rest of us. Still, even if there is buzz in the right places, Predators won't break the summer's string of non-$100 million-grossing action films.
10. Charlie St. Cloud (July 30, 2010)
Previously known by the more brooding moniker The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud. The story could be interesting, with a balance between depressing and uplifting, and an apparent blend of magic realism with a more conventional teen romance. More importantly, though, St. Cloud is another test of the star power of Zac Efron, who still has a fanbase out there, I think, even after recent territorial encroachments by the Bieber-Pattinson brigades. And while I hate to sound like a broken record here, this is yet another title that'll win or lose a large chunk of its profit based on quality and reviews. Life just ain't fair that way, right?

Rudolf Kirchschläger (20 de marzo de 1915 - 30 de marzo de 2000) fue un diplomático, político y juez austriaco, que se desempeñó, de 1974 a 1986, como Presidente de Austria.

Sin embargo, después del Anschluss en Austria, debió renunciar a sus estudios. Se negó a unirse a la NSDAP, y su beca fue revocada, Kirchschläger ya no podía seguir pagando sus estudios.

Trabajó como empleado en un banco hasta 1938 hasta que fue preparado para prestar servicios en la infantería de la Wehrmacht en el verano de 1938. Kirchschläger luchó como soldado, desde el comienzo de la guerra, inicialmente durante la invasión de Polonia, luego en el Frente Occidental y después contra Rusia en el Frente Oriental.

A finales de 1940, con el fin de salir del ejército, utilizó un frente de dos meses para prepararse en el examen final (examen del estado) de sus estudios de Derecho. Pasó los exámenes y se graduó.
Sin embargo fue enviado de vuelta al Frente Oriental, donde fue herido en 1942. Hacia el final de la guerra fue capitán y oficial de formación militar de Wiener Neustadt, en la región de Viena.

Q: Prevent content from shifting horizontally on scrollbar show/hide How to fix page on center (Example: vk.com).
On this site, if show/hide scrollbar - containers position not shift left/right.
I have two containers:

and

Me need make fix ALL containers if scrollbar show/hide. Thanks.

A: First, Give width for Container Div.
Second, give margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;position:fixed; for Container div.
That will work.

A: Just put margin: 0 auto; on your container element.
It means margin top and bottom are set to 0 and left and right are set to auto, which will center your container.
EDIT
If you inspect the container element of the website you linked, you will see that they do exactly the same thing.
EDIT 2
The site will set the width of a container around the content, we'll name this scrollFix, minus the width of the scrollbar on document ready with javascript.
$(document).ready(function () {
    var documentWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
    $('.scrollFix').width(documentWidth - 16); // 16px for scrollbar width
    $('.container').width(documentWidth * 0.8); // 0.8 for 80% of the page
});

The jsFiddle for the example:
http://jsfiddle.net/fT3Rm/1/
EDIT NUMERO 3
So with an HTML structure as following:

 Second -

You can use this jQuery code:
$(document).ready(function () {
    var documentWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
    $('#header, #section-1').width(documentWidth - 16); // 16px for scrollbar width
    $('.wrap').width(documentWidth * 0.8); // 0.8 for 80% of the page
});

This way, the header and section element have a 100% width minus the scrollbar width. The wrap divs should be margin: 0 auto; and in the function you can change the 0.8 to any percentage you want, 0.7 for 70%, 0.6 for 60%, etc..
You should also set the header and the section to position: relative; so it won't move.
So in your CSS:
#header, #section-1 {
    position: relative;
}

Q: How to show value in multiple field through AJAX? I want to show multiple values on change of one form text field. I can do it for one field but I can't do it for multiple fields. If I echo multiple values through AJAX they are shown in a single fileld or each field I mentioned in getElementById.
I used this JavaScript:
function iteminfo(vid) {

    var strURL = "item_info.php?id1=" + vid;

    var req = getXMLHTTP();
    if (req) {

        req.onreadystatechange = function() {
            if (req.readyState == 4) {
                // only if "OK"
                if (req.status == 200) {
                    document.getElementById('pro_info1').innerHTML=req.responseText;
                } else {
                    alert("There was a problem while using XMLHTTP:\n" + req.statusText);
                }
            }
        }
        req.open("GET", strURL, true);
        req.send(null);
    }
}

A: A vague answer for a vague question:

Code snippet removed

Update:
It depends on the way your AJAX responseText is formatted. I will assume it contains different values for the different fields (e.g. pro_info1, pro_info2, etc.), and that each value should be used to update the corresponding field.
In such cases, it is advisable to use a data exchange format. JSON is a common choice for most AJAX communication. Format item_info.php's response like this:
{ 'pro_info1': 'Value 1', 'pro_info2': 'Value 2' }

Then update your JavaScript to parse and handle the response, like so:
// ...

if (req.status == 200) {
    var response = JSON.parse(req.responseText);
    for (var fieldName in response) {
        var field = document.getElementById(fieldName);
        if (field !== null) {
            field.innerHTML = response[fieldName];
        }
    }
} else {

    // ...

Don't forget to load json2.js in the <head> of your page.

Q: Ajaxform in jQuery I am using ajaxForm. Now I have encountered a problem. My idea is when the user enters the username, if any wrong username, it should report a message to the user.
My code is working fine, but the problem is that after the report Message shown to the user, the submit button becomes inactive. So, the user is unable to click the submit button again.
How do I tackle this problem?
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#myForm').ajaxForm(function(data) {
        if (data==1){
            $('#bad').fadeIn("slow");
        }
    });
});

...

Please enter a valid username

...
<form id="myForm" action=" " method="post">
     <input type="submit" id="submitinput" value="Submit"/>
</form>

...

A: You might want to try catching the submit event on the form and then using ajaxSubmit. Like this:
$('#myForm').submit(function() {
    $(this).ajaxSubmit(function (data) {
         if (data==1){
             $('#bad').fadeIn("slow");
         }
    });

    return false;
});

It'll probably sidestep whatever funny business you're experiencing.

Q: SNMP and SQL Server, is it possible to store the alerts in sql server without using any program? I have an old system (a legacy system) that reads SNMP messages and stores (somehow) them into a SQL server 2008 tables (or 2008r2). The system is working, however, I am clueless about how it stores into a SQL server table.
Is it possible to read the SNMP and store it into a table of SQL without a program or SNMP must use a program or service to store the information?

A: SNMP is a protocol. Your legacy system is polling or receiving SNMP from what it's monitoring, and then storing that in SQL. The monitoring system is a program, it doesn't need an additional program to speak to SQL. It's probably got an ODBC or other connection to the database. Check the legacy system for existing ODBC connections. If it doesn't have any (and they might be for the service account running the monitoring system so you wouldn't see them if you were logged in as yourself), then it might have the SQL connection string in an init file somewhere.
What actual problem are you trying to solve?


Earlier last year, the U.S. Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) put out a call for public comment on criteria for identifying emerging technologies that could potentially be subject to future export control regulations. The tech industry responded in full force, providing recommendations for how the federal government can ensure U.S. competitiveness in the global market while supporting the development of emerging technology (read comments submitted by McAfee here).
Emerging technology poses an interesting challenge for tech companies and federal regulators alike. In many cases, technologies that BIS designates as "emerging," such as AI and machine learning, are already in widespread use around the world. Other technologies like quantum computing are very much in the research and development phase but have the potential to alter the course of national security for decades to come. Many of these technologies are difficult to define and control, and many are software-based, which greatly complicates the development of regulation. Software technologies, by their very nature, are fundamentally different from physical items and physical process technologies. Their intangible, readily-reproducible character makes software-based technologies inherently difficult to define and control.
This task is enormous and must be handled cautiously, as history has provided countless examples of how overregulation has the capability to hamper development. A poignant example of overregulation at the cost of progress is the automobile industry. According to Deloitte, although tough restrictions on automobiles were nothing but well-intentioned in the late 1800's, regulation greatly hampered research and advancement. The early days of the automobile industry should serve as a cautionary tale when it comes to regulating new and innovative technology.
The U.S. is in a unique position to act to protect our technological interest and secure the nation's position as a global leader. The U.S. secured a pivotal tech leadership role, having spearheaded the development of the internet in the early 1990's. The nation has immense power and potential to take the mantle on emerging technology, and the stakes are high. Some of the country's greatest accomplishments have stemmed from empowering the private sector and encouraging innovation. For example, tremendous strides in private sector space exploration have been made possible due to the support and administration of empowering legislation. Companies like SpaceX and Boeing are creating next generation space technology, working each day to ensure that the U.S. maintains competitiveness.
Cybersecurity is another area that requires particular attention. Given the global availability of cybersecurity tools, many of which make use of the emerging technologies under review, McAfee understands that great care needs to be taken by our government before imposing additional export controls on American cyber companies. These rules can have the unintended and harmful consequence of stunting the growth and technical capabilities of the very companies that currently protect vital U.S. critical infrastructure, including federal and state government infrastructure, from cyber-attacks. As a leading nation, it is critical to stay ahead of threats by criminal actors. This is only possible if cyber companies have the ability to access global markets to fund the research and development needed to keep pace with rapid innovation. Controls should be implemented with a great understanding of the need to stay competitive in global innovation, particularly when it comes to cybersecurity.
Overregulation could cause great harm, and the U.S. government must tread carefully in administering a carefully-crafted, targeted approach. Rather than burdening U.S. software companies with new and substantial export control compliance costs, the U.S. should seek to empower these companies. Any controls deemed essential by the government should be as narrowly tailored as possible, especially given the broad range of current and future companies and technologies. A multilateral approach to export controls on emerging technologies is vital for U.S. companies to remain innovative and competitive in the global marketplace. This cautious approach would ensure alignment between the private and public sectors, ultimately allowing for emerging technology to be front and center. Providing an ecosystem in which the technology of tomorrow can flourish is essential to the U.S. continuing to blaze the trail on emerging technologies.

Boric Acid Suppositories Can Help Prevent Recurrent Yeast Infections And Bacterial Vaginosis
Pretty much every adult woman has dealt with the annoying itchiness and discomfort that comes with yeast infections and other vaginal infections. If you're constantly getting over-the-counter or prescription antibiotic treatments and seem to be in a vicious cycle, you may be hoping for other solutions. Enter: boric acid suppositories.
A quick refresher: "The vagina is pretty incredible because it has mechanisms to maintain its pH in a healthy acidic range of 3.8 to 4.5," explains Alyssa Dweck, MD, ob-gyn and founder of V-qool in Westchester County, New York. Healthy, "good" bacteria called lactobacilli that are naturally in the vagina produce lactic acid to maintain this pH, Dr. Dweck explains. "And many daily practices or infections can disrupt this pH and cause symptoms such as itching, irritating, odor, abnormal discharge, and infection with yeast or other bacterial overgrowth."
Now let's get to boric acid (or boriseptic) suppositories. These are often prescribed as an alternative treatment for certain types of vaginal infections that are resistant to standard treatment, says Kecia Gaither, MD, an ob-gyn in New York City, or as a preventative measure. But are they boric acid suppositories legit and, more importantly, safe? Let's dig in.
What are boric acid suppositories exactly?
Boric acid (yes, the same stuff we use to kill cockroaches) can help to maintain a healthy vaginal pH for those struggling with chronic or recurrent yeast or bacterial infections, says Dr. Dweck. It can be formulated in vaginal capsules, but they're meant only for intravaginal insertion (meaning you put the capsule directly in the vagina) and should never be taken orally.
"Historically, these needed to be prescribed by a health care practitioner and formulated at a specialty compounding pharmacy for individuals," she explains. "They have since become a bit more mainstream and are available over the counter."
What are boric acid suppositories used to treat?
Boric acid is usually thought of as a preventative management for those who experience chronic and recurrent yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis (BV), says Dr. Dweck. It is not usually a first-line treatment, but rather used to prevent recurrence after standard treatment or aid treatment of an infection that just won't quit.
How long does it take for boric acid suppositories to work?
Since boric acid suppositories are generally used as a preventative method, after standard treatment should have already been attempted, says Dr. Dweck. After you've finished the original course of treatment recommended by your doctor, there are many regimens you can implement that involve these suppositories to prevent a recurrent infection.
"My go-to regimen is one suppository (500 to 600 mg) intravaginally once per week for eight to 12 weeks," she says. " I usually use this after satisfactory treatment with a traditional antifungal/antibiotic, and this is usually sufficient for prevention."
Is it safe to use boric acid suppositories on your own for vaginal issues?
If traditional treatments aren't helping you kick recurring infections, definitely talk to your doc about trying out this alternative method before you go at it alone to make sure you do so safely.
You should *always* avoid oral use of boric acid because the substance is toxic when ingested. So, this also means you should avoid receiving oral sex after insertion for at least 24 to 48 hours, says Dr. Dweck. Additionally, if you find you're sensitive to boric acid or the capsule it's contained in, then she recommends discontinuing use (though Dr. Dweck notes this is rare!).
"Potential side effects include redness, burning, and watery discharge," adds Dr. Gaither. "Boric acid suppositories should also not be used during pregnancy or in the presence of open wounds."
Lastly, you should always obtain these capsules from a reputable pharmacy, Dr. Dweck says.
The bottom line: Boric acid suppositories may help prevent recurrent yeast or bacterial vaginosis infections after you've completed standard, doctor-recommended treatment.

Civil Parish: St. Mary's
Traditional County: Cornwall
Lieutenancy Area (Ceremonial County): Cornwall
Church of England Parish: Isles of Scilly
Church of England Diocese: Truro
The monument includes a late 16th century artillery fort, the Star Castle,
built behind the northern crest of the Garrison, a large headland linked by an
isthmus to the south west coast of St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly. The Star
Castle is a Grade I Listed Building. This scheduling is divided into two
separate constraint areas.
The Star Castle contains a two-storey central house separated by a narrow
passage from an encircling rampart faced by walling; the rampart's outer face
forms an eight-pointed star in plan, giving the name of the fort. A covered
entrance passage passes through the rampart on the north east. Outside the
rampart a broad ditch is crossed by a stone causeway from the rampart
entrance. Beyond the ditch are remains of an outermost rampart.
The central house, excluded from this scheduling as detailed below, contained
a hall, accommodation and service areas in the fort's original layout. It is
nearly square in plan with sides oriented almost to the cardinal points and an
angled projection rising up the centre of each wall. Its main door opens to
the passage on the south of the east wall, with a service door opposite in the
west wall. A first floor door in the west wall opens to a bridge across the
passage to the rampart surface.
The open passage around the central house is c.2m wide, largely cobbled with
midline flagstones linking the main door of the house to the rampart entrance.
Steps rise to the rampart surface at the south east and north west corners.
On the north east, the open passage extends to a narrow covered entrance
passage dog-legged through the rampart and ending at a square-headed stone
doorway projecting slightly from the rampart. The doorway's moulded frame has
low relief initials at the base of each jamb: on the right, `FG' of Sir
Francis Godolphin, the islands' Governor when the fort was built; on the left,
`RA' of Richard Adams, the fort's architect. The lintel bears the date `1593'
and over the doorway, the outer face of an upper room includes a plaque
bearing the initials `ER' of Elizabeth I. The dog-leg of the passage's east
wall contains a deeply recessed square window, now blocked, directly facing
the doorway from an eastern guardhouse behind. The inner end of the entrance
passage was protected by a portcullis, evident from its wall slots, threshold
recessed for four vertical bars and a chamfered outer arch. A stepped masonry
structure above the slot's inner face carried the chains and winding gear for
raising the portcullis.
Several structures were built into the fabric of the rampart, opening off the
passage around the house. These include a guardhouse to each side of the
entrance passage at its inner end; the eastern has a blocked doorway in the
rampart inner wall. The western guardhouse, an addition of c.AD 1700, is
square with a pyramidal roof rising above the rampart surface. In its north
west corner is a blocked opening to a tunnel under the northern rampart,
joining a second tunnel on an angled course from a doorway at the centre of
the passage's north side to a blocked doorway in the rampart's outer wall
facing the ditch. These tunnels formed a sally port, intended to provide an
alternative means of exit in times of siege.
Other structures off the open passage include rooms forming service areas and
stores beneath the centre of the west and south ramparts. That on the west is
set back behind an open-fronted overhang in which the rampart's inner edge is
supported by granite beams and props; the room has a blocked door and window
facing the overhang. The room under the south rampart is subtriangular with a
single doorway and small square window facing the passage. A third small room
extends west from the south west corner of the passage.
The rampart rises 2.6m from the passageway to a flattened upper surface,
generally 6m-7m wide and almost level with the first floor of the central
house. It is faced internally and externally by walls of irregular granite
rubble, with more regular dressed slabs along most outer corners and with
dressed and usually chamfered jambs, lintels and sills at openings. The inner
wall ends as a low kerb along much of the rampart edge but at the four main
corners it rises as a parapet with musket slits covering the open passage. The
rampart's outer wall has a very steep slope, called a batter, over its lower
levels towards the ditch, becoming vertical towards the top and projecting as
a parapet over most of the rampart surface. Much of this parapet has an inner
ledge beneath a row of musket slits but at each internal corner this is
replaced by the blocking wall of a former gun embrasure, that on the NNE
retaining its original paved platform.
Each of the rampart's cardinal point corners contains a square building which
formed barracks for the castle garrison, that on the north described in 1715
as the `Gunners Barrack' and that on the west extended by a later porch. On
the rampart's south east corner is a small masonry sentry box; on the south
west corner is a roofless and partly re-built masonry latrine chamber. In the
north west corner is a flag platform, a level paved surface slightly higher
than the parapet top and reached by stone steps on the east. A flagstaff is
mounted against the south side of the platform. Built by 1715, this platform
is later than the original parapet.
In the north east corner, the room over the entrance doorway rises above the
rampart surface as a small square building described in 1715 as the `Gunners
Store'. Beside this room, the apex of the corner is occupied by a bellcote
with masonry piers and a rounded arch, raised above the parapet on a small
platform with access steps to the south.
The rampart's outer wall descends into the inner side of the ditch, resting on
bedrock in parts of the northern sector though its base is largely masked
elsewhere by surface deposits. The ditch is c.5m wide and up to 3m deep, cut
through the subsoil and, where exposed, into the bedrock. The base of the
ditch is masked by deep silt deposits, confirmed during modern cable-laying
operations. On the north east, a masonry causeway crosses the ditch from the
doorway in the rampart face; it has vertical side walls, rising to a parapet
whose inner ledges flank a cobbled surface with midline flags. At its outer
end is a pyramidal flight of seven visible stone steps to a modern metalled
drive beyond.
Beyond the outer lip of the ditch, an earthen outer bank extends around much
of the fort, though modern development and landscaping has levelled it on the
south. The bank's profile varies but where clear of modern scrub it is
generally c.7.5m wide and 1m high with a flattened top; a row of revetment
blocks are visible along its inner edge adjoining the ditch on the west of the
fort. A plan dated 1715 shows the bank gently merging with the natural slope
beyond, a form called a glacis. On the north it is modified by the levelling
cut for a modern road and by a modern levelled and revetted drive to the
fort's entrance steps. The bank widens to give a raised flattened area north
of the fort's flag platform, a feature considered to reflect the buried
foundations of a former gun room recorded at this location on early 18th
century plans.
The scheduling also includes a cobbled hollow 32m beyond the SSW side of the
fort's ditch and identified as one of several dewponds built in the mid 18th
century to improve the fort's water supply. The hollow is ovoid, 9.8m
north-south by 8.5m east-west, with sides sloping c.0.5m to a flattened base.
Its surface is neatly lined by cobbles, c.0.1m across, with a kerb of larger
slabs, c.0.3m across, on at least its north eastern periphery.
The physical remains of this artillery fort are complemented by a wealth of
historical sources regarding its construction, operation and context. The Star
Castle was built in 1593-4 as the first part of a major upgrading and
re-orientation of the islands' defences authorised by Elizabeth I to counter
continued threats and raids from Spain following the failure of the Armada in
1588. Its construction was quickly followed, from c.1600, by a bastioned
curtain wall to the east along the slope to the isthmus, creating a fortified
headland whose defensive system was successively extended and strengthened
over the next three centuries, during much of which the Star Castle remained
the controlling element. In March to April 1646 the Prince of Wales, later
Charles II, took refuge at the Star Castle during the Civil War; after 1648
the Star Castle became the last focus of Royalist resistance in England,
surrendering in 1651. The Star Castle also served as a prison for several
notable critics of the Government in the mid and later 17th century. In c.1700
extensive alterations took place, largely within the central house, and from
1834 the fort became the home of the Steward of the islands' lessee, Augustus
Smith. During World War I, the fort housed army officers. With increased
tourism on the islands the fort was converted to hotel use in 1933, most
modification again involving the central house. In World War II, the fort was
used to billet soldiers, with a signalling point on the roof of the central
The central house, the modern garage by the causeway, all modern fixtures and
fittings including the modern internal decoration of the rampart barracks,
modern garden furniture, all modern stored materials, all modern service pipes
and cables together with their fittings, existing trenches and supports are
excluded from the scheduling. Also excluded from the scheduling is the modern
metalled surface of the approach. The ground beneath all of these features is
included.

Reasons for Scheduling
In the later 15th century, the need to deploy and counter increasingly
effective artillery began to revolutionise English fortification design. The
medieval castle, a tower and curtain wall defence, evolved into the artillery
castle, a strong stone defensive structure designed specifically to house
heavy guns in gun towers, with limited garrison accommodation and sometimes
accompanied by earthwork defences. They were usually sited to protect a
harbour entrance, anchorage, town or similar feature. Artillery castles
received their fullest expression in Henry VIII's maritime defence programme
between 1539 and 1545 when they were deployed at strategic points along the
east and south coasts of England. By then however new ideas developed in Italy
were producing fundamental changes that came to dominate artillery defence
design for the following three centuries. Low-lying earthen ramparts, faced by
stone or brick and fronting a ditch, more effectively absorbed artillery fire
while providing a platform for defensive artillery. Projecting angled bastions
allowed defensive fire across all flanks and lines of approach. The new
concepts proved highly adaptable, capable of application in the later 16th
century to large scale defensive circuits around major towns or for creating
smaller discrete fortifications.
The 16th century fortifications on the Isles of Scilly illustrate these
developments. On Tresco, the mid 16th century King Charles' Castle was one of
the last artillery castles to be built, with its tower pierced by tiers of gun
ports. The same defensive phase produced Harry's Walls on St Mary's, the
earliest English artillery fort to deploy true angle bastions, though
unfinished due to an inadequate site. When Government attention returned to
the defence of the islands after the Spanish Armada of 1588, the new concepts
in artillery defence were well-accepted and deployed on St Mary's at the Star
Castle, an unusually small artillery fort employing a stone-faced earthen
rampart; its size rendered it more appropriate to reduce the angle bastions to
an overall star plan, an adaptation recommended in several contemporary
military textbooks.
The Star Castle survives well and, in conjunction with the complementary early
phase of bastioned curtain wall crossing the Garrison neck, it forms one of
less than ten recorded fortifications of the Elizabethan period surviving
nationally. It was designed by one of the leading English military architects
of the time, Richard Adams, and demonstrates clearly the concepts of artillery
defence current in late 16th century England. The development of those
concepts is well-displayed in an unusually close grouping by the presence of
the King Charles' Castle on Tresco and the Harry's Walls fort on St Mary's.
The importance of the Star Castle in the study of fortifications is further
enhanced by its varied and evolving role as an integral part of the wider
system of defences on the Garrison headland from the early 17th century
onwards. The eventual domination of administrative and later non-military
functions illustrates the impact of developing military strategies and
technology on such fortifications, and some of the alternative uses which post
medieval societies have deemed appropriate for such imposing structures.

Oh, yay...just found out this starts in Knoxville at Downtown West on July 27...I think this will be my 2012 real-theater birthday movie! See trailer below the clip.
For all our celebration of the Underground Railroad, it's important to acknowledge that not every African who ran away ran North. Some merely ran into the woods. There they were free from the clutches of their oppressors and free to form communities of their own. If you think of the people of the Bathtub as having formed that kind of maroon culture, then you see that — appearances notwithstanding—Hushpuppy is nobody's little pickaninny. She's the heroine of the film, an itty bitty warrior girl fighting to maintain her way of life. That hair isn't a sign of neglect, but a mighty display of her power.
I am really looking forward to watching this documentary. I've checked out the trailer and several other video clips, and I've read an introductory issue of The 99. This project has great heart resonance for me. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I have no doubt that The 99 came from the heart of Naif Al-Mutawa, the Kuwaiti psychologist who created it.
The story is grounded in principles that may be identified with specific religious teachings, but these principles also are universal ones, and ones that are especially useful today. The heroes are 99 young people from around the world, each of whom has a access to a specific superpower, but they must work together to bring the full potential of those powers to bear on problems they face. If they are to succeed, they must cooperate rather than compete.
This is a truth that is so fundamental to continuation of life that it is even embedded in nature itself: when natural systems come under stress and can no longer sustain themselves, species evolve toward cooperation with one another. There is no aspect of life on Earth right now in which this challenge isn't pretty much in our face.
If we look, listen and feel our way into the chaos of modern life, we may get a glimpse of what is trying to be born from the suffering: a new life for all based on unconditional love and cooperative, co-creative, conscious evolution.
I hope people will use heartful projects like The 99 to stimulate discussions on how we can evolve humanity in a way that allows for a planetary going-on-being.
An image from "Wham! Bam! Islam!" to be shown on PBS's "Independent Lens" series beginning Thursday.
Documentary on the work of Naif Al-Mutawa: Wham! Bam! Islam!
WHAM! BAM! ISLAM! tells the story of Naif Al-Mutawa and his venture to create the first team of superheroes from the Muslim world called THE 99. Following the tumultuous journey of THE 99 from concept to reality, from international acclaim to censure by cultural gatekeepers, Al-Mutawa pursues his vision to bring new heroes to Muslim children while re-introducing Islam to the West.
This documentary by Isaac Solotaroff airs on PBS's Independent Lens on October 13th. WHAM! BAM! ISLAM!
You can get a free preview issue of The 99! -- see the Wham! Bam! Islam! film page on Facebook for details.
Naif Al-Mutawa has an undergraduate degree from Tufts University (with a triple major in clinical psychology, English literature and history), and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University. In addition, he holds a Masters in Organizational Psychology from Teacher's College, Columbia University and an MBA, also from Columbia University.
Dr. Al-Mutawa has worked with former prisoners of war in Kuwait and the Survivors of Political Torture unit of Bellevue Hospital in New York. Having witnessed the trauma of people who have been tortured because of their religious and political beliefs, he decided to write a children's story that won a UNESCO prize for literature in the service of tolerance.
A Voice from the Gulf: "Stop calling me resilient!"
The people who live on the Gulf of Mexico are no doubt taking a huge hit from the BP oil disaster, but this film aired on Al Jazeera English pulls the lens back to a wider view of the oil industry in the Gulf over time.
I was especially moved by the stories of folks at the end of the piece who speak very clearly about the toll this industry has taken on their lives and communities. One woman in particular calls out the use of the term "resilient" to describe the historical battering of coastal citizens.
I am really grateful to this woman. I think she's absolutely right that it's a way of denying the actual suffering so that the industry can keep on doing what it's doing, or so the rest of us can sleep at night as we go along with continued use of fossil fuels without protest. It's a term often applied in other situations -- the ability of kids to heal from horrific abuse, of the mountains of Appalachia to recover from the assaults of surface mining, or of Indigenous people of the world surviving genocidal colonial occupations of their homelands.
"Stop calling me resilient!" she said. "I'm not resilient!"
Naomi Klein consulted on this film. Please check out her great article, Gulf oil spill: A hole in the world, at OpEd News.
Are hateful attacks on kids the ugliest form of racism?
It was the cyberspace equivalent of a "Wanted" poster, reminiscent of bounties once paid for Indian scalps in the old West. And in my view, it's a classic hate crime, carried out for the sole purpose of inciting racism and hate against indigenous peoples.
Do these guys look like kids who should be "wanted" for anything besides inspiring their peers and inheriting the Earth from corporate land barons and other clueless adults who perpetuate exploitation of people and nature?
Longhouse, along with others, is calling for the perpetrators to be found and brought to justice.
When stories like this pop into my life -- stories that induce such a wide range of thoughts and feelings -- I like to widen my view a little to the background of my day. What was up before I found this article?
I spent this past weekend with a bunch of white and black folks who are trying to dismantle racism in their communities. Within that context I especially connected with a man who was sharing his experience of being young and black in America. This exchange stayed with me all the way back home and into this week. I decided, as my colleague had suggested, to spend some time listening to several young, black, male poets sharing their take on life via YouTube.
This morning -- just before I found Taliman's article -- I had listened to the crew on Morning Joe talking about America's school systems and the inspiring success of Geoffrey Canada's charter school and neighborhood project, Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ). I found myself a little irritated with their conversation. I was glad to hear the recognition that something amazing has happened in Harlem, but I didn't hear much discussion about what the HCZ team had done and why it worked. Not just surface stuff, but some depth about their work in relation to larger issues of poverty, racism, family and community.
After I saw Morning Joe, I fished out my copy of Whatever It Takes, Paul Tough's book on Geoff Canada and HCZ. I decided to read it again and maybe do some blogging on it. When I then found Taliman's article on the racist attack on the Swinomish teens, it kind of brought my whole past week of thinking about racism in America into more coherent connection. It has left me inspired to dig deeper into what's happening here, and to reflect more on how and why we, as a national village, need to come together as one heart on behalf of our children.
Racist hatred directed toward anyone is ugly, but -- at the moment, for me -- hatred directed at the youngest of Earth's citizens feels like the ugliest and most heartbreaking.

Q: Choose an item from a column / row in a Python Pandas dataframe I am working with AWS and have a list of the AWS regions and their corresponding Opt-in Status. This is in a dictionary called region_dict:
{
    'eu-north-1': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'ap-south-1': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'eu-west-3': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'eu-west-2': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'eu-west-1': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'ap-northeast-2': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'ap-northeast-1': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'sa-east-1': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'ca-central-1': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'ap-southeast-1': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'ap-southeast-2': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'eu-central-1': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'us-east-1': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'us-east-2': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'us-west-1': 'opt-in-not-required',
    'us-west-2': 'opt-in-not-required',
}

I am using a Pandas dataframe to display the data:
dataframe = pd.DataFrame(region_dict.items(), columns = ['Region', 'Opt-in Status'])
dataframe.index += 1
print(dataframe)

            Region        Opt-in Status
1       eu-north-1  opt-in-not-required
2       ap-south-1  opt-in-not-required
3        eu-west-3  opt-in-not-required
4        eu-west-2  opt-in-not-required
5        eu-west-1  opt-in-not-required
6   ap-northeast-2  opt-in-not-required
7   ap-northeast-1  opt-in-not-required
8        sa-east-1  opt-in-not-required
9     ca-central-1  opt-in-not-required
10  ap-southeast-1  opt-in-not-required
11  ap-southeast-2  opt-in-not-required
12    eu-central-1  opt-in-not-required
13       us-east-1  opt-in-not-required
14       us-east-2  opt-in-not-required
15       us-west-1  opt-in-not-required
16       us-west-2  opt-in-not-required

I'd like to ask the user which region he wants to use:
region = input("Enter the number of the region to use: ")

Once I get the integer, how can I go through the dictionary and figure out which region the integer input responds to? Beginner programmer here, so I'm reaching out to you guys :)

A: Assuming the number of the region corresponds to the index in the dataframe, you could use iloc. To get the entire row, you could use
dataframe.iloc[region]

If you wanted only first column (ie. the region name), you could instead use
dataframe.iloc[region, 0]

A: You can access a row using the .loc function
dataframe.loc[int(region)]

in some cases you will want to use iloc
The loc function let you access the row by index (label).
The iloc function let you access the row by position.
You can read more about the different (with examples) here

A: for x in dataframe['Region']:
    if(x.split('-')[-1] == input:
        print(x)
        break

I think this should do what you want. But the problem is that you have more than one regions with the same end number.
If you want all the regions, you could do this:
li = []
for x in dataframe['Region']:
    if(x.split('-')[-1] == input:
    li.append(x)
print(li)

Here are some questions that I am often asked and my answers. They will help you better understand who I am and what I do.
No. I am a teacher, not a consultant. What's the difference? A teacher educates students, while a consultant provides advice to professionals in a particular subject matter. Teachers in higher education do research that is formally vetted by other academics (and often practitioners as well), while most consultants do not do research. If they do, it normally is not vetted through the peer-review process. I am happy to teach students of Lean management outside of the higher education environment in ways that work best for you: in-person, video conference, phone, or books.
Who trained you in Lean management?
Consultants from Shingijutsu Co., Ltd, between 1994 and 1997, and periodically thereafter. I also worked for a very capable Lean leader named Lloyd Tirey, whom I modeled myself after from both a Lean technical knowledge and behavioral perspective. But you should know that I have never been a "Lean tools" or a "manufacturing guy." I am not an "operations guy" either. From the beginning, my interest has always been the human side of Lean management, and leadership makes all the difference. Anyone can learn Lean tools, but for too long Lean leadership was seen as a mysterious art that few could master. I wanted to change that, given the wide-ranging benefits of Lean management to all stakeholders.
How long have you been studying Lean?
My first exposure to progressive Lean management was in 1992 or 1993, when I read Masaaki Imai's book Kaizen. I gained hands-on experience with Lean starting in the summer of 1994 and in the years thereafter. I continue to be a Lean practitioner today, which helps inform my research and university teaching work.
Why did you decide to focus your research on Lean leadership?
Primarily because there were so many unanswered questions. For example: How do you lead a Lean transformation? Why are some companies successful while most others are not? What is it about the leaders who experience success with Lean? What do they understand about Lean that others do not? What do Lean leaders practice? How do they think? What do they do differently? I was the first researcher to focus exclusively on Lean leadership. It was a tough, challenging problem to study. Based on my own experience, I knew that my research findings could have an great impact on people.
Is your research practical or theoretical?
My research is practical. I am not a career academic; I come from a hands-on practitioner background. As a result, I always make sure that my research is useful to practitioners. Books, and especially academic papers, are often perceived as theoretical because they have a formal look. But don't let looks fool you. Academic papers have to conform to journal editorial requirements, which give them a formal look and makes them difficult to read, yet their content is often practical immediately applicable. That is the case for my academic papers (and books).
What is the relevance of your research on Lean leadership?
My research is relevant to the real world challenge of how to effectively lead people in organizations. When I began in the mid-1990s, little was understood about Lean leadership, how Lean leaders think, what they know, what they do, and so on. As a result of my research, most of these questions have been answered – both at the macro- and micro-levels. Now, we clearly know what works and what does not work with respect to Lean leadership and how to lead a Lean transformation. My research has turned Lean leadership into much more of a science and less of art. This makes Lean leadership accessible to many more people.
Why don't more leaders practice Lean management?
Because it is hard for them to do. Moving from batch-and-queue material and information processing to flow changes everything – and I mean everything. It changes ways of thinking and doing things, policies, metrics, practices, processes, behaviors, etc. That is simply too big a challenge for most successful leaders to want to take on. Fortunately, a younger generation of managers is growing up on Lean, and they will be more successful.
What are the biggest misunderstandings that people have about Lean leadership?
Three things: 1) Leaders must be personally engaged in learning Lean principles and practices. You can't lead a Lean transformation if you do not understand Lean management. Lean requires daily practice. 2) In order for Lean management to function correctly, it must be practiced it in a non-zero-sum (win-win) way. This contrasts with conventional management, which is zero-sum (win-lose) in its basic orientation. Lean must do no harm. 3) The "Respect for People" principle is not optional. Most senior managers don't get that and end up practicing Fake Lean.
You have written a lot on Lean leadership. Why so much?
Because there is a lot to write about. As Lean people often say, "The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know." Lean is a wonderful system of management for any organization, but has had both limited reach and limited success because there have been so many unanswered questions, especially pertaining to leadership. I have spent the last 20 years working to correct that. I write simply to share what I have learned with others, and to help people who want to learn and improve. That's what a teacher does. Books are a practical, low-cost, and effective way to teach others.
Who pays for your research?
My work is self-funded through book sales and related services, but in some cases the university provides small and limited forms of support for scholarly work. All research is conducted as free and independent works. I accept unrestricted grants and external funding for research projects if independence can be maintained, as is customary when doing scholarly work.

Baby elephant is eaten alive by a pack of hyenas as its helpless mother watches after they both got stuck in mud pit on the plains of Zimbabwe
Mother slowly starved to death as she watched the hyenas kill her baby and rip off its leg after they got stuck
She saw vultures arrive to pick at the corpse at the mud pool in Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe
Wildlife photographer Jens Cullman, 50, from Germany, took pictures of the desperate mother and baby
By Luke Andrews For Mailonline

A baby elephant was eaten alive by a pack of savage hyenas as its helpless mother was forced to watch after they both became stuck in a mud pit on the plains of Zimbabwe.
The hyenas tore off the baby's leg as they attacked it overnight while the mother threw mud over her head in a desperate attempt to scare off the predators.
But she was powerless to save her baby, which was killed and devoured by the hyenas.
She then slowly died during a rescue attempt as she lay trapped in the mud next to her baby's rotting corpse in Mana Pools National Park.
The heartbreaking scene was captured by wildlife photographer Jens Cullman, 50, from Germany, who returned to the site at least twice to picture the plight of the helpless mother and baby.
The mother was forced to watch as the hyenas killed and devoured her baby at Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe
She tried to save the youngster by hurling mud over her head, but was unable to scare off the predators. She is pictured here throwing the mud to scare off vultures that are picking at the baby's rotting corpse
The mother elephant slowly starved to death as she watched hyenas eat her baby and vultures pick at its corpse
The hyenas also ripped off the baby elephant's leg as they mauled it to death while it was stuck in the mud
The mother pictured desperately rearing her head and trunk as she remains stuck in the pool in Zimbabwe
Distressing pictures from when he first found the stranded pair show the mother and baby desperately lifting their trunks in the air as they remain stuck in the mud pit as hyenas patrol nearby.
When he returned the next morning he found the baby was dead, with a pack of hyenas picking at its mangled corpse while the mother could only watch.
He kept returning to the site to photograph the last days of the mother as she slowly succumbed to dehydration. The last time he saw her she was surrounded by vultures patiently waiting for her last breath.
The stricken female later died when an attempt to rescue her was made, Mr Cullman said. He found them while out on a morning game walk in the park, and said he thought they were there for a few hours beforehand.

'It's the worst thing that can happen to a mother,' he said. 'Both you and your baby get suck in the mud and she couldn't help because her trunk was out of reach'.
'For the mother to see and hear the noises at night as the hyenas kill her baby - I imagine that was actually very upsetting.'

Mr Cullman said he saw the hyenas arriving on the first day. 'They killed the baby at night,' he said.
'I didn't see that. In this park I'm not allowed to go out at night time so I went out first thing in the morning and saw the hyenas feeding on the baby. They must have killed it overnight because I left in the afternoon when it was still alive.
'The mother couldn't move at all. At one point she lifted her head when the hyenas were next to her and it looked like she used her trunk to throw mud over her back towards them.
'In one photo you see her head and trunk up in the air and mud flying through the air at vultures sitting on her baby.'
Mr Cullman said he was unable to rescue the pair as 'you can't just go out with a shovel and start digging'.
'I have other photos of a similar incident,' he said, 'where ten or 15 people are digging out two elephants... it's a mission, it's a big thing.'

He took the photos of their suffering as it was a chance to document their struggle.
'If you break it down, it's nature and this happens,' he said, 'It's survival of the fittest. It was very hard to take those photos but I saw it as a chance to document it in a way'.
'I thought a long time about posting or not because I thought they will have quite an impact on the viewer. For me it's shocking. The close-up photos of the baby in the mud are unique because it's so sad.
'You see this helpless little elephant baby and of course I knew it would probably die because I couldn't help it on my own.'
'I heard the mother died while they were trying to rescue her. I didn't go there anymore. I actually have to say at the end it was so sad for me because I couldn't do anything.'
When Jens shared the pictures he said he received backlash from people who said he could have tried to help the stranded elephants.
And he admits that while he believes it's usually better not to interfere in nature, he felt it was worth trying to get help this time because so many animals had suffered already.

Jens said: 'I posted the pictures and I got quite a lot of sh*t from people saying 'you just took these to get clicks and you could have helped these elephants'.
'But they don't know the conditions there. They don't know how it is to dig an elephant cow out of the mud alone. It's not possible. It's definitely not possible.
'Usually actually I'm of the opinion to never interfere with nature but it was so different this year in Mana Pools with all these animals starving and suffering [due to drought].
'It makes a difference if you can dig out a few and they will survive. The number of elephants is declining and if you can save a handful more, I think it's worth it.
'My Instagram account is a mix of everything I think - harsh things, brutal things, nice things and I think that's reality. I try to show real nature - everything from very brutal, sad things like this to nice, cute things.
'It's important to show the full picture because we've lost connection. Most people on Earth live in big cities. This is just the real nature.'
