Elevator shortage puts farmers in a pinch
Patrick O'Neill
ZANESVILLE – More than 550 million pounds of corn and soybeans are being rerouted to grain elevators across southeastern Ohio after the August explosion at Coshocton Grain Co.
Now, 900 Ohio farmers must find new buyers, some as far as 80 miles from their farms.
Coshocton Grain Co., one of the 15 largest elevators in the state, normally collects about 10 million bushels of corn and soybeans annually from farmers in 22 counties, said Scott Jones, merchandiser at the company. But after a grain dust explosion destroyed three silos, smaller elevators have been forced to shoulder the load.
Amy Porteus, co-owner of Porteus Farms in Coshocton, typically sends her crops 5 miles up the road to Coshocton Grain, but the elevator's closure has forced her to deliver — both personally and through contracts — to Coshocton Grain's Hebron facility, about 45 miles away. Just halfway through the soybean harvest, transportation costs have already begun to dig into the farm's profits.
"It's added time and more money on gas," Porteus said of the prolonged trip to Hebron. "(Corn and soybean) prices are down from last year. We're feeling it ... and we have our own dryer. The guys it's going to hurt the most is the ones who don't have a dryer."
Most corn harvested this time of year has roughly a 25 percent moisture content. To be sold, corn needs to be dried to about 15 percent moisture, requiring either a commercial dryer or a time-consuming field drying period.
Coshocton Grain, one of the region's largest dryers, is out of commission until fall 2015, James said. On Thursday, a fire at a grain drying machine at the Farm Supply Center in Zanesville severely slowed drying operations there just as the corn harvest begins.
Paul Michel, Farm Supply Center president, said the affected dryer, one of two at the business, will be decommissioned for the next week as he assesses the damage.
Dave Hanby, owner of Hanby Farms in Nashport, said he's swamped trying to keep up with all the displaced Coshocton Grain customers.
"It's crazy this week," Hanby said. "We've had a lot of business, and we're expecting a lot more. I'm just trying to do the best I can to help people out, but we're maxed out."
Hanby Farms can hold 1 million bushels of grain, not nearly enough to compensate for the 2.7 million bushels of storage space lost when Coshocton Grain closed its doors. Grain storage has presented a huge problem for smaller elevators such as Farm Supply Center, which is already maxed out dealing with usual customers.
In most years, Farm Supply handles about 300 farmers, but that number is expected to rise to supplement the loss of Coshocton's main elevator. Already this week, several farmers who normally sell to Coshocton Grain have brought their soybean harvest to the smaller facility, located just a stone's throw from the Y Bridge.
Earlier this week, Michel leaned against a silo in a cloud of white dust as a farmer emptied a dump truck-load of corn.
"Oh, there's going to be a problem," Michel said. "We were close to maxed out just dealing with our own customers last year. We can take on some new business, but not much."
Just 5 percent of seasonal corn has been harvested, and less than a quarter of soybeans have been gathered. Most crops are running two or more weeks behind schedule, Michel said. Corn left in fields is becoming increasingly susceptible to wind damage the longer farmers have to wait to harvest their crops.
The harvest season, which normally concludes sometime around Thanksgiving, could extend into mid-January because farmers are being forced to field-dry their crops to save money while they wait in line for storage space, Michel said. Dry conditions and high winds produce brittle stalks that can snap off and ruin corn.

Leading Beyond the Walls
Developing Congregations with a Heart for the Unchurched
By Rev. Adam Hamilton
By Adam Hamilton
Good pastoral leadership is not a "by the numbers" proposition. It is a matter of heart and soul, of devoting the whole self to the vision God gives for the congregation in which one serves. Yet neither is it purely intuitive; it requires hard, careful thinking about the directions and details of the path down which God calls. When Adam Hamilton became pastor of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection, its membership consisted of himself and his family. Ten years later the church averages between five and six thousand worshipers per weekend. Throughout this remarkable period, Hamilton learned many serious lessons about both the broad visions and the specific details of pastoral leadership.
Bringing a depth of analytical skills often lacking in visionary leaders, in this book he goes beyond simply telling the story of Church of the Resurrection. He shares the questions that he learned to ask about the largely unchurched population to which Church of the Resurrection has reached out. Further, he demonstrates what he learned by listening to the answers to these questions, and how doing so has made possible a number of strategically crucial decisions the church has made. One of those crucial decisions was to make more traditional forms of worship and praise the center of the congregation's life. The result is that the example of Church of the Resurrection offers pastors and church leaders (especially those in mainline denominations) the realization that they need not completely change their liturgical and theological identity in order to reach out to the unchurched.
Drawing on his own experience, as well as the detailed research on the characteristics of highly successful congregations he undertook during a sabbatical leave, Hamilton offers pastors and other church leaders solid, substantive thinking on steps that congregations can take to become centers of vibrant outreach and mission.

Welcome to the first random website review on Magnet4Blogging Media. Every now and then I'll publish an in-depth review of a website that I've stumbled upon on the web.
For each website I find to review, I'll be writing about and sharing with you the good, the bad, and the absolute ugly.
The purpose of these website reviews is to help you with your own website.
If you already have a website that serves your business that you want to make the most of, hopefully, you'll pick up plenty of tips, tricks, and ideas just by reading my detailed website reviews here.
If you know of a particular website you'd like me to check out and review, send me an email and select "website review" in the drop down menu of our contact page.
The website can even be one of your own.
OK, let's begin reviewing the first website here on Magnet4Blogging.
So in this month's firing line peeps, we have PeterWardHomes.co.uk.
I stumbled upon this website via a LinkedIn share, and after navigating around the site for 10 minutes or so, I realized that this site would be perfect to review first.
So here's what we're going to be looking at in more detail.
Front-page design, layout, message, etc.
Google page speed performance and score.
What's good about the website?
What's bad about the website?
Right, so by the looks of things this is a website designed to help home buyers buy or sell their homes.
Here's a screenshot of the homepage of PeterWardHomes.co.uk.
The first positive point about this website is that it uses a relevant keyword in its domain name. And, the site name is the same as the domain name.
You might think that's an obvious right thing to do, however, many businesses make the mistake of purchasing and using a domain name that's not completely aligned with their business, or, one that doesn't have the same name as their business name.
So domain name and keyword is spot on. So now let's look at the design and layout.
The first thing that popped into my mind about this website's appearance was how dated it looked overall.
"Building beautiful homes since 1978".
That message would be better placed over a relevant background image in the form of a hero banner, instead of the header section.
Instead, the site uses an annoying, and ineffective, content slider that contains images that are not 100% aligned with what this website is supposed to be about.
From a user standpoint, I really think the site design has failed to make better use of the space 'above the fold'. And, you know my thoughts on content sliders, right?
Homepage content sliders do nothing to improve user experience on a website. Most people ignore them since no one really has the time or patience to wait for the next slider to appear so that they can see what it's actually about.
And that's not just my own opinion, check out this interesting article over on Thrive Themes about content sliders in general.
PeterWardHomes.com uses some visuals and images in the content slider, however, this is supposed to be a 'property' or 'homes for sale' website, right? Yet I feel that some of the images could be more aligned with what the website or business is supposed to be about, which is buying and selling homes.
There are images of churches, flower beds, random people eating food, and some other low-quality stock photography on the homepage.
There's actually little in the way of quality images of beautiful homes for sale on the front page. To me, that would be more important and relevant to use than pictures of flower beds.
I think the use of images that reflect comfort living, idyllic locations and whatever else is slightly over done here. That combined with the lack of relevant images of actual homes for sale, makes the message less clear about what this website is supposed to be about.
So as I scroll down the page and to the footer section of the website, I'm' greeted with what can only be described as 'information overload'.
The footer area for starters has way too many links, which is probably affecting this website's conversion rates.
So my thoughts at this stage are that this website could be improved a lot, not just from a design standpoint, but also from a marketing and conversions point of view too.
How could the front page of PeterWardHomes.co.uk be improved?
Content slider removed and replaced with a more "relevant" hero image/banner section.
Create a more powerful headline message. Something that incorporates intellectual, empathetic, and spiritual words to help improve the Emotional Marketing Value of the message (EMV).
Use more interesting and 'relevant' visuals and images of actual homes for sale.
Better blog integration. It would appear that the blog is external from the site, hosted on a WordPress.com domain. I realize that this is a different matter altogether, however, having the blog on the same URL would benefit this website in terms of SEO and traffic.
Better structured "about" and "information" section with clear CTA buttons or links to learn more. Dedicated pages should be created for 'about' and 'info'. This would also help improve the website's SEO score.
Better organized content in the footer area. Currently, there's too much information here, and way too many links and options.
An example of a better designed and organized website, similar to PeterWardsHomes?
Here's a screenshot of a similar website to PeterWardHomes.co.uk that I found called Beal Homes.
Already you will notice that Beal Homes website makes better use of the space above the fold by using high-quality and relevant images of homes for sale.
Although this website also uses an annoying content slider, however, it is making better use of the slider without overwhelming with too much content or options.
The slider sections also take the user on a journey, starting with "Your new home starts here" followed by a clear CTA button.
So let's now take a look at the other elements that make up the design and user interface of PeterWardHomes.co.uk.
There are clear signs that this website hasn't been updated for a long while. I am just guessing, of course.
Let's start with those dated looking icons at the top of the front-page.
Those could do with being completely revamped by a graphic designer, and, would be better placed in the footer section and not in the header section.
If the aim is to keep visitors engaged for longer on a website, why would you add links or icons above the fold that take visitors away from the site?
From a conversion stand point, this makes no sense.
The main navigation menu seems fine, and personally, I wouldn't make many changes to this area.
12px, in my opinion, is far too small to cater for all audiences. Modern website designs now incorporate font sizes of at least 16px and upwards.
How could the design and UI be improved?
Better layout of its content with more space in between elements.
Increased font size, as well as increase line height to make for improved readability.
Social icons, and any other outbound links placed in the footer section to improve visitor time spent on site.
The website is somewhat mobile responsive, however, some of the content is annoyingly difficult to view on mobile devices, and there seem to be some navigational issues too. See screenshot below.
Ensuring your website is clean and fully mobile responsive is critical for any business large or small.
According to this case study report, the number of global internet users on mobile devices has now overtaken desktop users.
How could this website be improved on mobile devices?
There appear to be two versions of this website, one for mobile viewing and one the desktop viewing.
My advice to this website owner would be to have mobile responsiveness built into the desktop site so that when the site is being viewed on mobile devices, the code is easily translated to make the website responsive.
Navigation should also be improved on the site for mobile devices.
Here are some of the screen captures for the page speed performance of this website.
How could this website's page speed be improved?
Enable compression or completely remove the content slider and replace it with a hero/banner image.
Here's a screenshot of the social popularity score for this website.
How could social media shares be improved on this site?
Installation and configuration of social sharing tools like Social Warfare or Sumo Share. However, since the website is NOT built on a WordPress platform, this would mean manually embedding social sharing tools into the site with some limitations for social media optimization.
#6. What's good about this website design?
That's a tough question for me to answer, personally.
Being a web designer and developer, the website designs I've created for my own clients have been bold, clean, modern, and fresh looking, with a special focus on user experience and conversion optimization.
Whilst PeterWardHomes.co.uk has a strong brand identity, the overall design, look and feel, even the usability of the website is pretty boring, and once again, extremely dated.
#7. What's bad about this website design?
In all honesty? Everything from that annoying content slider, the small typography, the badly organized front page and content, the content overloaded footer section, and the lack of and poor use of quality and relevant images and visual content.
That being said, it's not the worst website on the planet, I don't think. The issues are more with user experience than anything else.
#8. How could this website be improved?
The good news is that any website can be improved, regardless of what platform it's been built or designed on.
If this website owner was to approach me, my first piece of advice to him would be to redevelop the website on a self-hosted WordPress.org platform.
WordPress has a lot of powerful features built into its open source software, as well as built-in mobile responsive, HTML5 markups, performance, security and more.
Using WordPress would also make it easier for the site owner to manage and maintain the website himself, saving on management and maintenance time and costs.
My second advice would be to make the front page more aligned with the business, create a more powerful and compelling headline title and use better visuals of actual homes for sale.
All of this would help create a stronger message to the site's target audience, improve accessibility, usability and maybe even create more leads and prospects.
Trends change all the time in website design. If you have a similar website in this type of industry, or in any other industry for that matter, don't let it become a dinosaur if it's an integral part of your business. Keep up with the trends. Keep it updated.
It doesn't matter how large or successful your business might be offline or where ever else, your website is the main online portal for customers to find you and your business, make it special for them.

Q: Edge with antipodal points exception with POLYGON 180-90 Creating a DbGeography from text using DbGeography.FromText(polygonAsText, 4326); generates the quoted exception.  The box dimensions have been provided by a Google geocoding result as a suggested viewport dimension.  Are the coordinates dud? Are the order used in the construction of the polygon wrong?
The latitude/longitude ordering has provided accurate results with other coordinates, except this one.
North East Longitude: 180.0
North East Latitude: 90.0
South West Longitude: -180.0
South West Latitude: -90.0
POLYGON((180 90, -180 90, -180 -90, 180 -90, 180 90))

The exception:

24206: The specified input cannot be accepted because it contains an
  edge with antipodal points.

Why don't these coordinates result in a valid polygon?

A: There is a nice easy way to address the problem (assuming you do have SQL Server 2012 or onwards - which as John Barca points out is absolutely required to build a spatial object covering more than half a hemisphere).
Try the following:
// Let's use the nice and simple "FULLGLOBE" statement to create a polygon covering the earth
SqlGeography geography = SqlGeography.STGeomFromText("FULLGLOBE", 4326);
DbGeography dbGeography = DbGeography.FromText(geography.ToString(), 4326);

The conversion (second line) is taken from a previous answer of mine on SO here.

Only seven minutes after arriving at Evangelical Community Hospital's emergency department—with sharp pain in his left arm—Bruce Barto was already connected to an electrocardiogram, or EKG. The test showed that the 59-year-old Whitehall resident was actively experiencing a heart attack due to blocked arteries, which prevented blood flow to his heart. He was immediately seen by Petra Lynch, MD, interventional cardiologist, who performed an emergency heart catheterization. Blood flow to Barto's heart was restored within 20 minutes of his arrival.
It certainly wasn't the day Barto had expected. Although as morning moved into afternoon, he did sense that something was off. To begin with, he awoke with indigestion. That seemed odd, since overall he was healthy. He was careful about what he ate, didn't drink or smoke, and between a construction job and helping to run the family farm in Montgomery, he stayed quite active. So he ignored his upset stomach and went about his day. After lunch, however, his back began to ache, which also seemed unusual for someone so physically fit. Barto thought perhaps a quick nap might help matters, but as he lay down, he felt a sharp pain in his left arm.
emergency department—a decision that saved his life.
The procedure Barto underwent, a heart catheterization, involves an interventional cardiologist threading a long flexible tube called a catheter into a small incision in the patient's groin or wrist, through an artery, and up to the blockage, where a balloon on the catheter tip is inflated, which opens the artery. If necessary, some blocked arteries are then treated with a stent, which is a tiny wire mesh tube that expands and is locked in place. The now-deflated balloon and catheter are removed, but the stent remains to keep the passage open and blood flowing freely.
Barto eventually needed a total of three stents, two to open one clogged artery and one to open another. Dr. Lynch also identified a partially clogged artery, but decided to see if medication and a heart-healthy diet could reduce that blockage. Keeping a close watch on her patient, Dr. Lynch decided after three months that his anginas symptoms were not sufficiently resolved. She scheduled Barto for another heart catheterization to fully open the artery.
While Barto led a healthy life prior to his heart attack, having a heart attack meant he would have to build back up to an active lifestyle. So he began attending Evangelical Community Hospital's Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, which is certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. The program provides education, exercise training, and psychosocial support for cardiac patients and their families.
Today, Barto is doing great. He continues to see Dr.Lynch every six months at the Heart and Vascular Center of Evangelical. And to create the best possible treatment plan, communication lines are open and flowing with Barto's primary care physician, too.

The City Council of Aspen, Colorado has passed an ordinance regulating single-use bags. At the regular meeting of the Council on Tuesday, October 11, Council members voted 4-1 to approve the ordinance.
The approved ordinance will ban distribution of single-use plastic bags and will place a twenty-cent fee on paper bags. The ordinance only affects retail grocery stores within the City of Aspen.
The ordinance will take effect May 1, 2012.
The new law will allow the grocery stores to keep $1000 per month to offset the cost of administering the program. City Staff estimated it would cost approximately $43,000 to implement the law. Funds collected from the fee can only be used to implement the law and waste reduction programs in Aspen.

Project, Project Unit or Book?
Here are some guidelines for creating good quality content.
The best way to author content is using markdown. It is extremely easy to write content that renders very nicely and without having to fiddle with HTML. You can embed HTML snippets into a markdown as well where you need full control.
We have a Cheat Sheet project that you can use to see the full capabilities. To fork this starter pack into your own account, please click here. You should select the Use Pack option to create the project.
We strongly recommend that when you are creating content at scale then you have a thorough understanding of the differences between projects, course units and books.
When creating a book or a guide, you will often be working with images, video and other media. We recommend the following.
Images should be placed in the .guides/img folder. You can create sub-folders for organizational purposes.
Videos should be hosted on a 3rd party platform such as YouTube or Vimeo. You can embed these using regular HTML embed tags as available from those platforms.
Web based media such as Google Doc documents can be embedded using regular HTML embed tags as available from those platforms.
Our markdown support the use of special callout blocks. These provide icons and highlighted backgrounds for various concepts such as : Important, Info, Challenge, Topic, Definition, Meetups, Headline, Hackathon, Create, Calendar, Growth Hack, Debugging, Cross Discipline and more.
Please refer to the Callout section of the Books Cheat Sheet. If you have not done so already, fork this starter pack into your own account. You should select the Use Pack option to create the project.
Again, this depends on your intended audience but try to keep each page reasonably brief. If the topic is a long one, you may want to break it up into several pages. This prevents lots of scrolling and allows students to digest information in manageable chunks.
Your content will often want to show code samples. Codio's recommended approach is to put each set of code samples into a dedicated folder. Then, using the page settings, you can specify this folder with the consequence that all non-specified folders are hidden from view in the file tree (if you choose to show it).
The benefit of hiding folders is that the student is not distracted by folders and files that are not relevant to the topic you are explaining.
Click here for more details on folder hiding.
Codio offers a range of manually and auto-graded assessments. When used as a part of content, assessments are a very important way of giving students challenges and exercises that help internalize what they have been learning.
When used in a class situation, assessments are extremely helpful to the teacher as all assessment results are fed automatically through to the teacher class dashboard, allowing them to monitor students' progress across a Course.
Many of Codio's assessment types (code tests, multiple choice questions, text, fill in the blank and list-based) are auto-graded, saving teachers considerable amounts of time and can also offer students instant feedback on the correct answers.
You can also use the free-text assessment type for answers that require a typed answer that can be manually graded by faculty. The free text type also support Latex, so math questions can be answered and graded.
The editor lets you create different panel layouts for your guide content and the layout can change from section to section.

Pedestrian hit by car in parking lot crash gets $1.4M settlement
Updated Jul 18, 2019; Posted Jul 17, 2019
By Joe Brandt | For NJ.com
A woman who was struck by a car after the driver mistakenly hit the gas received a $1.4 million settlement to compensate her for pain and medical costs.
The July 12, 2016 crash occurred in a parking lot in Summit, according to a statement from her attorney, Kathryn Schwartzstein of Morristown.
A driver entering the lot at DeForest and Woodland avenues unbuckled the seatbelt and opened the car door to lean out and grab a ticket. The car was not in park.
While leaning, the driver pressed on the gas pedal and crashed through the mechanical gate, hitting two parked cars and the woman, who was walking through the lot.
The victim, a 59-year-old corporate communications consultant, needed a shoulder replacement, multiple surgeries, and physical therapy. She was wheelchair-bound for about four months.
"She is unable to perform many of the daily tasks that she could previously perform and must tolerate pain on a daily basis," Schwartzstein wrote.
The driver and her insurance company settled in April this year.

After a long consultation process, the Canadian Defence Policy Review arrived Wednesday. Will the $62 billion pledged be enough to cover the new initiatives Harjit Sajjan is pitching?
The Defence Policy Review, or DPR as it is known to all except the Department of National Defence's Twitter account (#CanadaDefence? Really?), finally came out Wednesday, and it was not too shabby. I have quibbles and concerns, but, overall, it does an excellent job of explaining what is going on, what the threats are (sort of), and setting a path forward.
I tweeted my entire reading of the document, so I will focus here on the bigger issues: What does the DPR do and what does it mean?
It is supposed to chart the course forward. While it exaggerates heaps of new-ness, the basic missions of the Canadian Armed Forces are the same as they ever were: defend Canada and do disaster relief at home, support NORAD, participate in NATO and various other multilateral efforts, and some peacekeeping.
Oh, and one myth that apparently developed this week to bust: that the new money pledged Wednesday — $62.3 billion over the next 20 years — will be enough to allow the Canadian Armed Forces to operate independently. They can do so in Canada and nowhere else. Canada is too small and has too many limitations to operate alone. So, no, despite the injection of money, the CAF will always need to act alongside other countries once it steps outside of Canada.
The DPR made clearer what equipment and personnel are needed to do this stuff and also put at the front of defence how to improve the lives of the folks doing the defence work — the personnel side. Which makes sense since 50 percent of the budget and 100 percent of the lives at risk are personnel.
To be clear, Canada does not face a great threat, despite the section that did a nice job of describing a dangerous world. Those dangers mostly lay elsewhere. There are only two immediate threats to Canada — cyber terrorism/crime/war and Donald Trump. The DPR deals with the former with new money and personnel (not re-shifting money from other areas because, well, bureaucratic politics; more on that below). And the Canadian military can't do anything about the latter.
Still, Canada sees itself as a force for good in the world and an upholder of the international order, most clearly articulated Tuesday by Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland. So, it needs a modern military that gets asked to do all kinds of stuff. Right now, that stuff includes training in Iraq and Ukraine, deterring Russia in Latvia (the Canadian deployment is this week), various special operations that we don't know much about (no elected officials know except the prime minister and defence minister), taking turns patrolling the air space above Iceland and the Baltics (two NATO missions that are regular commitments), and someday maybe that peacekeeping mission. The money in this will not fund a much more capable military, just one that can keep doing the job it has been doing but with newer stuff and less broken stuff. Which means less risk for those sent into harm's way.
Speaking of money, the big news here is, of course, about the money. This DPR promises a heap of new money for the CAF. Given that complaints about underfunding were a key theme at the roundtables last summer, this is good news and largely unexpected. Why? Because there is no real lobby for more defence money. The Liberals spent last election competing to get NDP voters who don't want this, nor do Liberal voters. Conservatives? Not really, given their performance in power. So, here's where Trump might fit. The document laying out the review, unlike Freeland's speech, could have been written before Trump became president. But the threat of Trump, the U.S. as unreliable, may have helped grease the internal Liberal debates about spending more money. I have no evidence of this — just a guess.
"The DPR stands on a very thin reed: that this 20-year plan will last beyond the next election."
On the other hand, the document makes clear that while defence spending is going up and there will be much progress on getting closer to the ballyhooed two percent NATO guideline, Canada will not get to two percent or even near it by 2024. The aim is 1.4 percent, which is a significant improvement but far short of what Trump expects today. Well, Trump is unrealistic, so there's that.
Of course, this DPR stands on a very thin reed: that this 20-year plan will last beyond the next election. Alright, maybe it will last into a second Trudeau term, but this prime minister cannot tie the hands of the next. And defence spending is a very partisan issue that someone might call a cluster foxtrot. (OK, that someone is Kim Nossal who wrote a book squarely putting the blame of the defence procurement mess on the two major parties.) The DPR may put the Conservatives in a tough spot in the next election or two: they may push for a balanced budget but they want to be strong on defence. This DPR will make it hard for them to fake doing both. And if/when Canada hits a recession and deficits spiral, you may see the Liberals cut defence as well since that is where the discretionary money is.
In terms of the details, I found the ideas on personnel to be great, including tax breaks for those deployed overseas and the serious inclusion of gender analysis.
The particulars of the stuff to be bought? Not so great: 15 ships? I just don't expect that to happen as the costs spiral. The 88 fighter planes? Again, seems unrealistic. My big question is whether any stuff was left off of these shopping lists. One way to handle bureaucratic politics is to let everyone have what they want, but that might not be wise.
My biggest regret about this DPR is that it looks like there were no hard choices made. Everybody gets what they want. They could have closed obsolete bases, but that would be politically costly. There is simply not enough new money to make all of this happen. I am not sure how much of the new money is really new. That is, defence inflation is high, so adding more money may just keep up with inflation rather than allow one to buy more stuff. I think this budget is not bad — that it keeps up with inflation and then some. But I remain skeptical that there is enough new money to do everything this document promises.
Last spring, in my conversations around Ottawa, there was heaps of skepticism that the DPR would be anything significant — that the review effort was token/theatre and that the DPR would be pre-cooked. I don't think so. I think the review built on the roundtables as much as it built on the wishlists of the branches of the CAF. There are lots of good ideas and intentions, but I am skeptical that they will be able to make much progress on fixing procurement, for example.
Still, the process led to a pretty good explanation of what the CAF needs and what it plans to do over the next decade or so. If Canadians read this or pay attention to the discussion about it, they will be better informed and less ignorant. And, you know, lots of government exercises create ignorance and prevent learning, so this DPR is a real contribution. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
So, the words and pictures in the DPR are good, but we should continue to pay attention (and some should actually oversee) how this plays out. Overall, a good week for the Canadian Armed Forces and for the Department of National Defence.

Bear Dance Canvas Print
Best known as an allegorical painter, William Holbrook Beard was born in Painesville, Ohio, April 13, 1824. He first began his career as a portrait painter in Ohio, and in 1845 he moved to New York, where his brother, the genre painter James Henry Beard, was established. William Beard first exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1858, and was elected to the National Academy in 1862. He established himself in the Tenth Street Studio and his work, noted for its imagination and originality, became popular. Beard died in New York on February 20, 1900.
The Bear Dance, depicting a rather exclusive party in a forest clearing, is also known as The Bears of Wall Street Celebrating a Drop in the Stock Market, and The Wall Street Jubilee. The painting's extraordinary popularity, however, is due almost entirely to an audience of children, who are delighted by the dancing bears and are free from the concerns of Wall Street.

Goodbye Real Tarzan!
Chendru, who had brought Bastar into international limelight way back in 1959, passed away on 18 September. As a little boy, Chendru Ram Mandavi used to play with tigers and spent most of his time with them
By Akshay Nema Mekh अक्षय नेमा मेख On January 1, 2014 No Comments इस लेख को हिंदी में पढ़ें
Chendru, who had brought Bastar into international limelight way back in 1959, passed away on 18 September. As a little boy, Chendru Ram Mandavi used to play with tigers and spent most of his time with them. Chendru's rapport with tigers was so amazing that, in 1959, Swedish film-maker Arne Suksdorff produced a film on Chendru and his pet tiger. The film was called A Jungle Tale and was a hit the world over.
Arne's wife, Astrid, who was also the daughter of famous Swedish zoologist Sten Bergman, wrote a book on Chendru. The book was published in French in 1960 under the title Chendru et Son Tigre. The English translation of the book, by British novelist William Sansom, was published by Harcourt, Brace & Company, New York, under the title Chendru: The Boy and the Tiger. Chendru became so famous that people started calling him 'Tiger Boy Tarzan' and 'Mowgli'.
When the film was released, Arne took him abroad, to Sweden and other countries. The world of this tribal boy was transformed. But after his return to his village Gadbengal, for several years, he remained rather upset and cut off from other villagers. Subsequently he fell ill and suffered a paralytic stroke. His last days were spent in the Jagdalpur government hospital. The news of the 78-year-old 'Tiger Boy' battling for life in the hospital was carried by some newspapers, only to be soon forgotten. His condition deteriorated but no one stepped in to help him. He lay in the hospital bed not uttering a word. Chendru's son Jairam Mandavi feels that had his father received monetary aid, he could have lived for some more years. "After my father was taken ill, a Japanese lady gave Rs 1.5 lakh and a minister gave Rs 25,000," says Jairam. "Thereafter, we were left on our own."
It is indeed unfortunate that the man who won international recognition for the country lived and died unsung. It neither became a political issue nor did the media – the quintessential vendor of dreams – took any notice of him.
When the film on him was being shot, Chendru used to be paid Rs 2 per day. Once, in Mumbai, Chendru happened to meet then prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who promised him a government job provided he acquired some education. He probably did not know then that this would be the closest he would ever come to receiving any government help.
That the central and the state governments did not do anything for Chendru is, of course, regrettable. But what about the hundreds of so-called social workers and NGOs operating in Bastar and claiming to be protectors of the human rights of tribals and preservers of tribal culture? Why did the piercing, sorrowful eyes of the 'Tiger Boy' as he lay on the hospital bed not shake them up?

Gran Canaria är den tredje största ön av de tretton öarna i den spanska ögruppen Kanarieöarna i Atlanten. Med 850 391 invånare är det den näst mest befolkade ön på Kanarieöarna. Den är liksom alla de kanariska öarna en vulkanö, och den ligger 190 kilometer från Afrikas nordvästra kust. Den ligger sydost om Teneriffa och väster om Fuerteventura.

Historia
Kanarieöarna har varit befolkade i cirka 2 800 (eller kanske så mycket som 3 000) år. De första människorna som bosatte sig på öarna var av de sjöfarande folken från länderna runt Medelhavet, till exempel fenicier och romare. Man jagade en viss pälssäl och fiskade i vattnen runt öarna, och vissa källor hävdar även att många länder deporterade förbrytare till öarna.
På 400-talet föll dock öarna i glömska från den europeiska historien och det skulle komma att dröja många hundra år innan någon från Europa återupptäckte öarna.

Den största prekoloniala invandringen till öarna sker dock på 700-talet, då arabiska styrkor invaderar Afrikas nordliga områden. Många av berberstammarna som då och än idag lever i Atlasbergen tvingades fly västerut för att undkomma araberna. Det är dessa berber som kom att prägla öarna med sin kultur, sitt språk och sin religion, och det var ättlingar till dessa som européerna mötte när man återupptäckte öarna.

Den italienske upptäcktsresanden Lancelotto Malocello bosatte sig 1312 på en av öarna, som därefter kom att kallas Lanzarote, och det är även han som betraktas som återupptäckaren av ögruppen efter den långa isoleringen från Europa.

Vid tiden då öarna återupptäcktes av européerna, beboddes de av urinvånare som benämndes efter öarna de bodde på. Guancherna på Teneriffa är de mest kända, och ordet Guanche används ofta idag lite missvisande som samlingsnamn för alla öarnas olika urbefolkningar.

Gran Canaria utropades den 29 april 1483 till spansk, sedan den sista gerillaledaren Bentechuyu tagit sitt liv då han insåg att erövrarna var för starka för att han skulle kunna stå emot. Sista slaget stod i nedre delen av Caldera de Tirajana (Tirajanadalen) vid tre branta klippor mitt i dalen som belägrades av spanjorerna. När Bentechuyu och kanarierna insåg att de inte kunde övervinna spanjorerna, klättrade de till toppen av klipporna och hoppade ut för att slippa bli tagna till slavar. Klipporna kallas idag La Fortaleza ("Fortet"), men har även ett mer traditionellt namn, Ansite.

Namnet Gran Canaria
På det språk som berberna talade kallades ön Tamarán, vilket betyder dadel eller dadelpalm. Troligtvis är namnet taget efter den kanariska dadelpalmen som växer både vilt och planterat på många platser på ön.

Namnet Canaria ansågs under en lång tid ha kommit av att det ska ha funnits hundar (efter latinets canis som betyder hund) på ön. Senare studier har dock visat att toponymen kommer av antroponymen canarii, en nordafrikansk berbisk stam från Atlasbergen. Enklare förklarat kommer alltså namnet Canaria, som senare även kom att omfatta hela arkipelagen, från en av de berberstammar som européerna mötte när de återupptäckte öarna.

Tillnamnet Gran (spanska för "stor") kommer från ett av de första slagen som stod om Gran Canaria, år 1405. Två äventyrare från Normandie som var understödda av spanska hovet, vid namn Jean de Béthencourt och Gadefeir de la Salle, kom med varsitt skepp till ön, men separerades av nordostpassaden som blåser förbi ön. När besättningen från ett av skeppen gick upp i dalen ovanför Arguineguin på öns sydkust, mötte de kanarierna och fick efter svåra strider fly tillbaka till skeppet. När de två äventyrarna senare återkom till Spanien, hävdade man att man mött enorma slagskämpar, stora människor, som man ju inte kunde förväntas vinna över. Namnet Gran kommer alltså från att man skulle ha mött "Gran Canarii".

Geografi
Gran Canarias landyta är 1 560 kvadratkilometer och öns högsta topp, Pico de las Nieves, ligger på 1 949 meters höjd. Ön är cirkelformad och dess diameter är 50 kilometer.
Den högsta bergskedjan med öns högsta toppar heter med ett samlingsnamn Pozo de Las Nieves. Det finns även landmärken och naturmonument som till exempel den 70 meter höga monolitstenen Roque Nublo (1 813 m ö.h.) och klippan Roque Bentayga.

Ön är uppdelad i två delar. Den nordöstra delen, Neocanaria, har gamla formationer av sediment som har samlats på land. I området finns även vulkaniska formationer som till exempel Bandamakratern och kratrar efter vulkanutbrott i t.ex. Temisas och Tirajana. I regionen Telde är nivåskillnaderna stora och i dalarna finns bland annat orterna Guayadeque och Tirajana. Telde är Gran Canarias näst största stad (efter Las Palmas).
Den sydvästra delen av ön är det äldsta området och når också, tillsammans med de centrala delarna, den högsta altituden. Pico Faneque ligger en kilometer från kusten och når 1 096 meter över havet. I regionen ligger bland annat orterna Arguineguín och Fataga.

Klimat
Klimatet på Gran Canaria är väldigt speciellt eftersom ön skapar sitt eget vädersystem, vilket resulterar i väldigt varierat klimat på olika platser runtom på ön.

Flera olika faktorer spelar in för att skapa öns väder. Framför allt är det nordostpassaden som tar med sig fukt in över ön från havet, och träffar norra och östra delen av ön. När den fuktiga luften trycks upp mot de högsta topparna på ön, kyls den ned så moln bildas och fukten i luften faller som nederbörd. Vinden blåser konstant och därför är det mycket fuktigare och molnigare på öns norra kust, nästan årets alla dagar.
Vinden trycks vidare längs öns ostkust, och just därför är Gran Canaria känt som ett av världens i särklass bästa platser för vindsurfing. Byn Pozo Izquierdo på ostkusten står ofta värd för världscuptävlingar m.m.

Sydkusten på ön klarar sig oftast undan både vind, moln och regn. Eftersom passadvinden skapar moln på nordkusten, hålls sydkusten mer eller mindre molnfri nästan alla årets dagar.

Temperaturen i havet är 18 °C i januari och 23 °C i augusti.

Normala temperaturer och nederbörd i Las Palmas:

Turistattraktioner

Ön kallas ofta för en minikontinent på grund av variationerna i klimatet och i landskapet. Den norra delen har lägre medeltemperatur med mer regn och betydligt mer grönska än den södra, som är varmare, har fler soltimmar och nästan inte har någon vegetation, bortsett från en del turistorter längs kusten. Öns ostkust är platt med många stränder och den västra/sydvästra delen är mer kuperad och bergig.

Det finns en stor fågelpark, Palmitos Park, på den södra delen. Där finns även de flesta semesterorterna som startar i de centrala delarna av den sydöstra delen i Maspalomasområdet, som innefattar de största turistorterna San Agustín, Playa del Inglés och Maspalomas. Maspalomas sanddyner är ett ökenområde som har fått sin sand från Sahara och det ligger mellan Playa del Inglés och Maspalomas. En av turistattraktionerna är fyren i västra Maspalomas. Mitt emellan Maspalomas och fågelparken finner man det stora vattenäventyrslandet Aqualand med sina 30 vattenrutschbanor.

Playa del Inglés är en populär ort för många europeiska homosexuella, med barer, restauranger och butiker framför allt i shoppingcentret Yumbo Centrum. En gaystrand och en nudiststrand finns vid Maspalomas ökenområde.

Västerut längs sydkusten ligger Arguineguin i Mogáns kommun. Marknaden som hålls varje tisdag i Arguineguin är den största på ön. Längre västerut ligger Puerto Rico och Puerto de Mogán.

Huvudstaden Las Palmas på norra ön har ett livligt stadsliv, och stranden Las Canteras ligger i hjärtat av staden. Las Palmas är känt för den årliga karnevalen.

Bland övriga turistattraktioner finns Banana Park, Roque Nublo (en 80 meter hög monolit), Cenebio de Valerón med omkring 290 grottor, och den botaniska trädgården Jardin Canario i Tafira Alta. Dedo de Dios, eller Guds finger var en stenspira som sköt upp ur havet utanför Puerto de Las Nieves och var tidigare kännetecknet för Kanarieöarna. Den förstördes i november 2005 av tropiska stormen Delta, som var den första tropiska stormen i Kanarieöarnas historia.

De flesta historiska monument är från tiden innan ön erövrades, även om en del justeringar har gjorts av lokalbefolkningen för att bevara dessa. Bland monumenten finns bland annat grottmålningarna i Gáldar och Valerónklostret i Santa María de Guía.

Infrastruktur
De huvudsakliga kommunikationerna med fastlandet sker via hamnen Puerto de la Luz i Las Palmas, hamnen i Agaete och Aeropuerto de Gran Canaria (Las Palmas flygplats) som ligger 18 kilometer sydost om Las Palmas i Telde.

Gran Canaria har vägar som går runt hela ön och som förgrenas till bergsområdena. I slutet av 1900-talet öppnades en av Kanarieöarnas första motorvägar i området omkring Las Palmas och den utvidgades senare till att omfatta den norra, östra och en stor del av den södra kusten. De stora motorvägarna är GC1 (Las Palmas–Puerto Rico) och GC2 (Las Palmas–Agaete).
Motorvägen är senare utbyggd från Puerto Rico till sydkustens västligaste stad Puerto de Mogán och stod färdig 2013.

Administrativ indelning
Ön är uppdelad i 21 kommuner:

Gran Canaria har 850 391 invånare (2011) varav 382 296 i öns huvudstad Las Palmas (2011). Las Palmas är även huvudstad i provinsen Las Palmas och i den autonoma regionen Kanarieöarna.

Ekonomi
Den största inkomstkällan är turismen som har bidragit till att utveckla bygg- och tillverkningsindustrin på ön.

Turism
Vid sidan av huvudstaden Las Palmas så är den södra ön viktigast för turismen. Maspalomas har ett ekosystem med sanddyner, Puerto Rico (som byggde konstgjorda stränder på 1960-talet), Puerto de Mogán och Meloneras som byggs ut allt mer på grund av den ökande turismen. De största turistattraktionerna är stränderna. Las Palmas i norr och San Agustín i söder är de två orterna på ön som vuxit ut till att bli de flesta svenskarnas favoritresmål på Gran Canaria. 1956 gick den första svenska charterresan till Las Palmas (den första svenska charterresan någonsin gick året innan, 1955, till Palma på Mallorca) och strax efteråt så började byggnationen av hotell i San Agustín dit de svenska turisterna snabbt hittade.

Varje år besöks ön av 2,2 miljoner turister, varav ett stort antal besöker den södra delen. Gran Canaria var enligt Ticket Travel Group svenskarnas populäraste charterresmål under 00-talet.

Jordbruk
De största exportprodukterna är bananer och tomater. Tomaterna odlas på den sydöstra delen av ön. Odlingarna ägs av stora bolag som hyr in arrendatorer. Kanariska bananer odlas på norra delen av ön, medan så kallade "EU-bananer" (dvs. bananer i "rätt" storlek enligt EU:s förordningar) odlas i växthus runt hela ön.

Företag
Ikea har ett varuhus strax söder om huvudstaden Las Palmas.

Q: Remove carousel arrows if the image is not loaded I am currently trying to remove the arrows from the carousel when there is no image present. The reason for me trying to do so, is simply because I am trying to load several images into a carousel from a database into a given section. This section is recreated multiple times and it doesn't always contain images.
The issue that I am having is that, whenever the bootstrap carousel doesn't have any images loaded, it just displays the carousel arrows on the side. This gives a bad look to the current section and I would like to dispose of that.

How can I remove the carousel arrows when there aren't any images
  loaded in the carousel?

Here is a JsFiddle which contains what I've done so far, it is heavy inspired by several other posts. This only removes the left arrow on the first slide and the right arrow on the last slide.
Here you can preview how does the carousel look whenever there are absent images. I have set a black background of 400px in order for the arrows to be more easily spotted. Absent Images JsFiddle
Here is the code I have so far:

JQuery Code:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

    $('.carousel').carousel({
    interval: false,
})

$(document).ready(function () {               // on document ready
    checkitem();
});

            $('#myCarousel').on('slid.bs.carousel', checkitem);

            function checkitem()                        // check function
            {
          var $this = $('#myCarousel');
          if ($('.carousel-inner .item:first').hasClass('active')) {
              $this.children('.left.carousel-control').hide();
          } else if ($('.carousel-inner .item:last').hasClass('active')) {
              $this.children('.right.carousel-control').hide();
          } else {
              $this.children('.carousel-control').show();

          }
            }

      $("img").error(function(){
        $(this).hide('#arrow-right');
            });
});

Here are the answers that I've already checked for solutions:
Link 1Link 2
Thank you in advance.

A: Using jQuery you could try something like..
$(document).ready(function(){
   if($('.carousel-inner .item img').attr('src') == '') {
      $('.carousel-control').css('display', 'none');
    }
});

Inquiry annoys big media, but could hurt alternative media
Jay Fletcher
A new media watchdog to regulate big media corporations — but also smaller, independent and online media operations — was the key recommendation of Ray Finkelstein's sweeping report on Australian media released on February 28.
The Finkelstein report, a result of an inquiry initiated by Greens leader Senator Bob Brown and Labor communications minister Stephen Conroy, said Australia's highly concentrated media ownership and commercial interests had led to "market failure".
The inquiry was damning of the corporate media, its profit-driven bias and attack-dog mentality. But its conclusions fell short of proposing ways to break up the neoliberal, user-pays system, and instead may put diverse grassroots media alternatives at risk.
Finkelstein said the present system of "self-regulation has not been successful in dealing with irresponsible reporting". The Australian Press Council (APC) is hardly independent because almost three-quarters of its funding came from News Limited and Fairfax.
The report said a "significant problem" is that big media companies "can even impose sanctions if dissatisfied with the [Council's] conduct, by reducing funding or even withdrawing altogether".
The inquiry also documented examples in which "media used its power to oppose policy on self-interested commercial grounds and unfairly pursue individuals on the basis on inaccurate information", New Matilda said on March 5.
Finkelstein concluded that the Australian Press Council should be replaced with a single council across print, television, radio and online media — the News Media Council. He said the new council's decisions could be enforced by a court, making non-compliance a criminal offence.
Publications with a circulation of more than 3000 or news websites with more than 15,000 hits a year could be subject to Finklestein's new regulations. This has prompted concern that smaller, independent media and even blogs would be negatively affected.
But the News Limited and Fairfax media — which control more than three-quarters of Australia's newspapers and have the biggest online news presence — mounted a shrill attack on the inquiry designed to drown out any meaningful criticisms of Finkelstein's report.
News Limited's The Australian attacked the media inquiry for its "naive hubris" and said its recommendations would "poison our democracy".
Herald Sun lawyer Justin Quill said the inquiry was a "knee-jerk" reaction to Britain's News of the World phone hacking scandal. He said there was "not one skerrick of evidence" that similar activities took place in Rupert Murdoch's Australian media.
Notorious Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt said Finkelstein's proposal for a "super media-cop" would "police all that's said and written in the media". The Age said the inquiry's recommendations would "foster a mentality inclined to censorship".
But journalists independent of Australia's two big media empires were mostly supportive of the inquiry.
Wendy Bacon summarised the report's findings for New Matilda. She said the inquiry showed "you can't rely on the market to deliver a free press".
"This is particularly true in Australia with its highly concentrated media [and] an examination of ways of delivering quality journalism and ethical standards can't avoid considering the concentrated nature of the media."
La Trobe Univeristy politics professor Robert Manne said on The Monthly's blog that Finkelstein's report deftly "documents the widespread public disillusionment with the ethical standards and the political bias of the commercial media in Australia".
He said News Limited's control over newspaper circulation meant it influenced "national political opinion" which is "unprecedented throughout the Western world".
But smaller, independent media, including Green Left Weekly and many others struggling to provide the alternative to the pro-corporate media giants, may become more endangered if Finkelstein's recommendations were adopted in full.
The inquiry said surveys showed Australians source 60% of local news and two-thirds of international news from the internet.
The freedom to spread news and analysis online has led to a rise in alternative news websites and blogs. Alternative media such GLW can now achieve unprecedented reach online.
But Finkelstein's report has a negative view of the internet. His report focused on the risk of inaccurate or illegitimate information over its potential to challenge the oligopoly players and break up Australia's media empire.
Jason Wilson said on the ABC's The Drum on March 5 that if "very small, small and medium enterprises faced the same compliance burdens as the largest media companies" News Limited would "hire a few extra media lawyers", whereas "the kind of independent online media outlets that currently provide alternatives to the big media outlets … would have no such option."
At GLW, for example, there is no highly paid CEO or board of directors with huge resources and networks. It relies on the fundraising efforts of its supporters, barely gets by on a shoestring budget and relies on pro bono legal advice.
Wilson also said smaller operations "might just decide that it's easier, more sensible, to not publish risky, challenging material" under Finkelstein's proposed News Media Council.
The proposed scheme "could actually threaten the one, long-term solution we have to the problems of concentration and media power — the range of sustainable online alternatives. From a certain point of view, it begins to look like an impost on diversity and media freedom."

There's something amiss and either Bob Brown is unclear about it or aware? It will affect all media and even as regulation of big media may be needed, the independant news media is a vital compnent of democracy and vox populi. Also, whose to say the governments would not abuse their powers when they have regulatory powers over news media. I am not saying it's not worth a look at however, thoughtful and all people's creative input is needed, not just Bob Browns and the governements associated with this idea. Thanks Carl
I like this article, and it makes sense to question if this is the answer to sharing the 'cake' more in news media.
In our Murdochcracy no one opposes his interests, really. Regulation will only apply to stifle small independent media organisations, whilst the corporate propagandists and their fascist owners run riot over anybody and anything that stands in the way of their commercial and advertising interests. This is why Australians are some of the most uninformed and misinformed people in the world (and therefore ignorant) - and will continue to be so.
Murdoch and his empire do monoplise the news media and yes the article about F....is a whitwash' rings true to me. "Outfoxed" was it the movie was informative. Have I got the right title, I'm inundated with papers here, We can't push away the puppeteers, and that big M news and other media bends and distorts the news so people too many Australians are, in either confusion and go with the flow, or plain uninformed. I think the changes to media law would also have no effect except on the alternative news media, and that's not on. yet look at how many people are not complaining, yet. I'm so unsure why Bob Brown and Stephen Conroy want this to happen, is it power and influence at it's worst with them on this matter? With all the very best to alternative media and the people being informed not misinformed. Thanks Abi(gail)
Totally understand what Anon wrote 12th March 2.39. Totally understand how Australia has news media that is skewered and distorted to serve the neocons. And of course people often follow blindly as it;s less painful than truth, more palatable and parochial. Australian governments who have allowed poverty and disadvantage to become almost the norm for soo many in a collectively rich nation, abominable. Totally think Bob Brown and Stephen Conroy should think more about what they are doing and if they already have, start looking in the mirror to see what is obvious to many informed people in Australia. Stephen Conroy the privacy invader who delves into the lives of everyday people as well as others who he perceives as threats, via means that are despicable, as well as Bob Brown who wants to be in control of the one and only party in Australia the Greens. This is not a progressive move to regulate news media in Australia as it's true it will only disempower all the alternative news media outlets, not Murdochracy. What are the people of Australia who do care going to do about this yet another 'Broadband' type government takeover? Outfoxed it is Abi(gail) and it says it all. Would a regulation body ordained by the government stop that mogul fearmongering, distorting truths and continuing his agenda of neocon anmtics, no.

Will these new independant body 'Media Watchdog' serviced by government bureaucrats improve our democracy? If it doesn't then why go there. How can it? A new super regulator along with all the regulators Stephen Conroy has already brought into being such as Broadband etc. is senseless. We all understand the war machine medias and don't like what they do, and they;re being invetsigated now for phone tapping and other such privacy abuses, the Murdoch news media that is. Why not leave it at that, and wait and see. Stop being reactionary Stephen Conroy and Bob Brown. The people are not really that 'ignornat' who ever said that.
Australia had a long history of radical and labour movement publications going back to the 19th Century. Green Left now joins that very honoured radical labour movement tradition.
