I Fondi Regionali d'Arte Contemporanea (FRAC) sono delle collezioni pubbliche di Arte contemporanea create nel 1982 all'interno di un progetto politico di decentralizzazione adottato dallo stato, insieme alla creazione di nuovi consigli regionali, per permettere all'arte odierna di essere presente in ogni regione francese. La sua prima vocazione consiste nella costituzione di una collezione di Arte contemporanea, rappresentativa della creazione attuale.

Ridistribuzione della cultura sul territorio
La prima missione dei FRAC consiste nel costituire una collezione e diffonderla attraverso i diversi enti pubblici e di inventare delle forme di sensibilizzazione per la creazione di una nuova trasmissione della cultura.
I FRAC sono fondati su una collaborazione originale tra lo Stato Francese e le 24 regioni che ospitano un FRAC.
Ogni FRAC ha una storia diversa, una collezione propria e un programma di attività collaterali che permettono un'identità a sé stante.

Collezioni in movimento
Diversamente dai Musei o Centri d'Arte, i Frac non sono associati ad un unico luogo di esposizione.
Ogni collezione è considerata un patrimonio nomade, ricca di strumenti pedagogici, che si sposta all'interno del paese e all'estero.
Questo principio di mobilità le rende principali attori di una ridistribuzione della cultura sul territorio riducendo le disparità geografiche, sociali e culturali e favorisce l'accesso all'arte contemporanea ad un pubblico diversificato. Il ruolo di diffusione dei FRAC spinge i paesi a presentare diversi progetti simultanei nella loro regione grazie all'interazione e i gemellaggi con altre istituzioni pubbliche e private come i musei, centri d'arte, spazi municipali, scuole d'arte, istituti superiori, università, gallerie, parchi, associazioni di quartiere, a volte anche centri ospedalieri.

Un'alternativa ai circuiti privati
I Frac sono un modello inedito di associazione delle collettività locali. Rispetto ai circuiti privati di diffusione dell'arte (collezionisti e finanziatori) soggetti agli alti e bassi della situazione economica, il modello dei Frac costituisce un'alternativa e una garanzia di continuità.

Le opere e gli artisti
Le opere delle collezioni sono essenzialmente posteriori al 1960, e realizzate da artisti rappresentativi della scena francese e internazionale. Ogni Frac conta al giorno d'oggi tra 350 e 2500 opere e dispone di un budget di acquisizione annuale per arricchire la propria collezione.
La procedura di acquisizione si svolge così:
il direttore del Frac pone un tipo di orientamento artistico alla collezione con l'aiuto di un comitato tecnico composto da esperti dell'Arte contemporanea
sceglie delle proposte di acquisizione che vengono convalidate dal consiglio amministrativo del Frac
a volte le opere possono essere prodotte dal Frac stesso per una mostra in particolare.

Dal 1982, più di 30.000 opere sono entrate a far parte delle collezioni dei Frac. Costituiscono la terza collezione pubblica di Arte contemporanea in termini di grandezza.

Un esempio di mostra
Parade è una mostra itinerante,  che si svolge durante 3 weekend del mese di giugno 2010,  basata su una selezione di opere del FRAC Île de France. Si tratta di un progetto ideato da Xavier Franceschi e curato da Guillaume des Anges. È una mostra che si sposta per tutta la regione sotto forma di tenda e viene montata in diversi luoghi pubblici. È un modo abbastanza particolare e nuovo di fare Arte pubblica. Vengono selezionate le opere dalla riserva del FRAC, e mostrate in zone lontane dall'area parigina per diffondere la creazione contemporanea, attraverso questa tenda itinerante.
Verrà fatto un documentario da una studentessa dell'Accademia di Belle Arti di Parigi. La comunicazione visiva di questa mostra è proprio l'idea di riprendere le grafiche circensi, le mostre di rettili, mostre nomadi. È un progetto che rispecchia bene la mission del FRAC di sensibilizzazione all'Arte contemporanea.

Voci correlate
 Tutti i FRAC del territorio francese sono raggruppate da PLATFORM: è un'associazione culturale che raggruppa tutti i FRAC del territorio francese. Conserva i dati storici e rispetta i principi base dei FRAC: la sensibilizzazione del pubblico all'arte contemporanea e la costruzione e diffusione di collezioni regionali di arte contemporanea.
 Tra i FRAC un caso particolare è quello dell'Île de France, che rientra nelle FRAC di seconda generazione in quanto è stato uno dei primi ad avere uno spazio espositivo, Le Plateau
 L'Antenne
 FRAC Centre : una collezione riguardante l'arte e l'architettura. La collezione del FRAC Centre consiste attualmente di circa 5000 opere che circolano in modo permanente nella regione Centre, in Francia e all'estero.

While Fetlar is a wonderful place to visit, it is a remote island and does not have many of the services which would be taken for granted in many parts of Britain. This is especially relevant during the period outside the main tourist season from May to August.
When visiting the island please be aware that there is no doctor on the island. There is a highly trained district nurse, but backup does have to come from outside.
Therefore we recommend you do not travel to the island if you are feeling unwell with symptoms which may indicate a serious condition e.g. chest pain. Please have any potential problems checked out at either the hospital in Lerwick or one of the health centres on the larger islands, such as Yell or Unst, before travelling to Fetlar.
If you have a need for any sort of medication, please do make sure that you have taken sufficient supplies with you to last your stay. The nurse only has supplies to deal with emergency situations.
Also if you are potentially likely to need any medication - perhaps for insect bites - please also take supplies with you.
The health centres on the larger islands do have dispensaries. However, you will need to register as a temporary resident and see a doctor in order for medicines to be prescribed and dispensed.
Most major breakdown services have agents working in Shetland. However these are for the most part Lerwick based and could take a considerable time to reach you. If you are having trouble arranging help or have no breakdown cover, please contact the development office and we will try and arrange help for you. Tel 01957 733369.
There is no fuel available on the island so please make sure you have sufficient before visiting. There are a number of places to get fuel on the neighbouring islands of Yell or Unst before visiting.
There are two electric vehicle charging points available at the Fetlar Interpretive Centre. these can supply at up to 22Kw, or at a lower power depending on your vehicle. These are on the charge your car network, but guest tags are available.
Fetlar shop operates a cafe facility during shop hours, however prior notice is appreciated if your visiting outside of the main summer tourist season or travelling with a group. They supply light meals, snacks and drinks. Please check the shops webpage for latest opening times which vary seasonally. The Fetlar Interpretive Centre is open from May to September every day and also opens in October and April on demand, by prior arrangement. It can provide hot drinks such as Tea, Coffee and Hot Chocolate.
Fetlar Developments operates a vending machine providing cold drinks and snacks at the Hamars Ness ferry terminal. This machine is located in the waiting room and is generally available 24/7.
In the event of services not being available, for example due to power outages,information is normally displayed o the electronic noticeboards at the ferry terminals at Gutcher and Belmont as well as Hamars Ness and on the tourist information board in the ferry terminal waiting room on Fetlar.
If you are travelling with babies or children please ensure that you have food for them with you.
In the event that you have forgotten something and/or are in need of general assistance please either call at the development office, located at the public hall (call 01957 733369), or do ask at a house. The people here are very welcoming and will do what they can to help.
If the nurse cannot be contacted, phone the Yell Health Centre on 01957 702127. Or in emergency situations dial 999.

HomeThings to DoCockermouth
The pretty Georgian town of Cockermouth is just 6 miles away from The Pheasant and is the gateway to the quieter Western Lake District.
This thriving market town with its 8,000 inhabitants is proud of the fact that in 1965 the Council for British Archaeology recommended Cockermouth for preservation by the State as part of the National Heritage, thus making it a national 'Gem' town.
Within Cockermouth itself, there are several visitor attractions including Wordsworth House and Garden. Cockermouth is the birthplace of the poet William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy and the National Trust offer daily tours around the house, garden, and it also has a café.
Tours are also on offer at Jennings Brewery with their award-winning ales and long heritage, and they finish with samples of their ales.
If you like history, seek out the mini museum in Banks Hardware store in Market Place or take the Civic Trust's town trail. And if you're an art fan, there are lots of creative places to browse, and high-end art is on show at Castlegate Gallery, which has a national reputation.
Further afield, and not far from The Pheasant, lies the Lakes Distillery, where you can find out how whisky is being made for the first time in hundreds of years.
Also nearby is the Lake District Wildlife Park. Wander around their beautiful 24-acre parkland and see over 100 species from Anaconda to Zebra. There is a café, picnic and play area and daily displays.
Visitors are also welcome at the Cockermouth Golf Club in nearby Embleton, an 8 hole, PGA rated golf course, fully equipped with a cosy and friendly clubhouse and easy parking.
Shopping in Cockermouth
Cockermouth's town centre is compact so easy to walk around and is host to a large number of independent shops. From butchers and bakers to toys and books, homewares, fine art and gifts, as well as clothes, shoes, hardware, fresh flowers, fish, fruit and vegetables, pet supplies and antiques.
There are also card shops, furniture stores, national supermarket chains (Sainsbury's, Aldi and Co-op) and car retailers, as well as historic hardware shops, interesting curios, pharmacies, banks and some luxury shops with clothes, shoes, lingerie, art and gifts. Why not browse the shops and then stop for some refreshment in one of Cockermouth's many coffee shops.
Events in Cockermouth
There's always something going on in Cockermouth. The town's arts venue is the Kirkgate Centre, with its mix of music, comedy, theatre and exhibitions. Its Monday night cinema shows everything from subtitled arts films to recent blockbusters, while its Film Club has themed seasons. Many of the Main Street pubs have live music at weekends, and there are ad hoc events in some of the cafes, bistros and at Wordsworth House and Garden.
Annual events include Woolfest (the original British Wool Festival) in June, Northbound Music Festival and the Cockermouth Agricultural Show in August, Taste Cumbria Food Festival in September and December, and the annual riverside fireworks display in November.
It's also lovely to visit Cockermouth before Christmas. The shopkeepers light their doorways with candles, the fairy lights are magical, and there's even late night shopping, with mulled wine to keep away the chill.

Tuffboxes are then electrostatically powder coated and then oven cured at 190 degrees to provide our Tuffboxes with an excellent finish.


The Newcastle Herald has published an opinion piece by Professor Chubb about the importance of science education in building a better Australia.
You can read the full article below or download it as a PDF here.
FOR the bulk of human history, a child could expect to live in more or less the same way as their parents, their parents' parents, and probably their parents as well.
There were disruptive events, like wars and famine. Perhaps some individuals had the initiative to break the mould.
But, for the most part, change was slow and incremental, whether it was a cathedral that took generations to build or farming practices that took centuries to evolve.
The outlook is not the same today.
For a start, we live longer. Over 8000 generations, a baby's odds of living to 100 have shifted from one in 20 million to one in 50, if they are lucky enough to be born in some parts of the world. Most of that leap was made in the past century, chiefly in the past 30 years.
So many more of us have now far more time to see how progress unfolds.
We also have to think about the possibilities of progress in different ways, because we live with the reality of constant change.
How would you go about your life if you could live to 120 – perhaps a century after your children were born, and 50 years past the current retirement age? How would you make a living in an economy where robots can do most of the work, and the value of human labour plummets? How would you cope if you prepared for the old jobs without building the new? How would you imagine your world if you never saw it free from an internet connection?
Perhaps we can't say. But most of us have lived long enough, and seen enough, to know that anything we can imagine might be possible – as well as a great many things we can't.
Our children have to think of the shape of our lives as simply their starting point – not their pattern, and certainly not their destination.
Like every generation before us, we still care deeply for our children and want them to enjoy the best of all possible worlds. Unlike our ancestors, we cannot assume that what is ''best'' – or even what is possible – will be the things we have and want today.
That means we need a new sort of compact with the future: a compact we act on today.
We have to prepare our children not just to be like us – the purpose of education for thousands of years – but to work out for themselves how they ought to be different. And we have to think about the tools that our communities will need to generate new sources of wealth and jobs, when those we have today are irrelevant or exhausted.
Politicians and business leaders talk a great deal about ''innovation'', ''disruption'' and other words that go in and out with the times.
What they are really talking about, at least as I understand it, is the compact on which all of our futures rest.
Science is not the only thing that we need to make a better Australia, with the capacity to keep on getting better. But it is impossible to imagine how a better Australia could exist without it.
The nation we want would be economically diverse, because it builds industries and jobs on the renewable resource of human ideas. It would be technologically adept, because it neither shies from new technologies nor mistakes gadgets and fads for helpful innovation. It would be a healthy and happy community, because it invests in the research to look after ourselves and the planet, and applies new knowledge in intelligent ways.
How can we go about it? I don't think there is any one answer, only many millions of decisions that have to be made in industry and education, as well as government. We might make those decisions add up to something greater than their sum if we thought, planned and acted with a common plan.
Of course we need to support scientists and the vital work they do and, given that our resources are limited, it seems to me that we should use what we do have as strategically as we can.
But we wouldn't call ourselves a great sporting nation because a few of our athletes do well at the Olympics; and we won't be a great science nation if we think of science as that distant thing that scientists do.
We also need businesses that look for every opportunity to take advantage of science, and be constantly in contact with universities and research agencies where ideas might lie. We need people who understand science working not just in laboratories, but running farms, planning cities, designing homes.
Above all, we need science and mathematics to be central to the school curriculum – taught in inspiring ways by teachers we support to do the most vital job any person can do.
We need to be, as C.P. Snow once said, people with the future in their bones.
We may never know what our children, and their children, make of their side of our compact.
But surely, we have the courage to live up to ours today.

07 Sep TB and HIV: why they're no longer a death sentence
When you consider that HIV/Aids only really came to the world's attention 35 years ago, it's truly amazing that it has gone from a certain death sentence to a chronic manageable disease in such a short time.
Similarly, effective treatment for tuberculosis (TB) has only been around since 1946, when the development of streptomycin, an antibiotic, made the effective treatment and cure of TB a reality for the first time.
Before that, 90% of TB patients died. And even though multidrug-resistant TB remains a concern, great strides have been made in treating this disease: in the ordinary course of events, provided patients are compliant, it can be stopped in its tracks.
"It feels as if HIV/Aids has been around forever, and that medical progress has been slow, but actually, the opposite is true," says Dr Konji Sebati, CEO of the Innovative Pharmaceutical Association South Africa (Ipasa), an association of numerous research-based pharmaceutical companies that focuses on building an environment for sustainable access to innovative, research-based healthcare. "Thirty-five years represents a very short space of time in which to understand such a complex syndrome."
The first HIV therapy was available just five years after HIV/Aids was identified – in 1986, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the first antiviral drug, zidovudine (ZDV or AZT, part of a class of drugs called nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors), according to TheBody.com, an online HIV resource.
That class of drugs grew after 1991, and gradually new classes of anti-HIV drugs were added in subsequent years, but for the most part HIV-positive patients were on standard monotherapy treatment – that is, they were treated with a single drug. These drugs were only partly effective and many patients became resistant to them over time.
However, as scientists studied how HIV functioned in the body and how viral replication worked – with billions of copies of HIV being produced and destroyed daily – they began to understand how HIV could quickly develop resistance to any one medication.
Because the number of distinct classes of antiviral medications was growing, patients could now be put on combination therapy, in which drugs from two or more classes were used simultaneously.
"This switch had a dramatic impact on HIV treatment because combination therapy basically suffocates mutated forms of HIV before they have a chance to flourish," says Sebati. "It's a great example of innovation in medicine – and millions of HIV-positive people have hope because of what is now known as high active antiretroviral therapy, or Haart."
TB treatment has also made great strides since streptomycin was first identified as an effective treatment. Early studies showed that streptomycin combined with bed rest achieved greater clinical improvement, but only modest pathological improvement (as assessed by chest radiography), compared with bed rest alone. These studies also noted that improvement in TB was greatest in the first three months of therapy. After that, many patients began to deteriorate, partly because of streptomycin resistance.
In the 1950s, several other TB drugs with different mechanisms of action were discovered and developed, paving the way for combination therapy that had to be administered for 18 months or more.
It would take another four decades for the current short-course treatment for TB to emerge: a regimen comprising isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. The introduction of rifampicin into clinical practice in the 1960s was a major breakthrough, allowing treatment duration to be shortened to nine months or, when used in a regimen that also contained pyrazinamide, to six months.
Treating HIV and TB in combination can be tricky. The two diseases often occur together, and there are important drug interactions that can have adverse effects on patients.
"However, delaying initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) until TB treatment is completed in HIV-infected people significantly increases mortality," says Sebati.
"Three clinical trials have shown that early initiation of ART in TB patients co-infected with HIV reduces mortality. So the World Health Organisation recommends that ART should be started within the first eight weeks of initiating TB treatment."
These trials were reported in The New England Journal of Medicine in October 2011.
She adds: "Getting the timing right to initiate ART in patients co-infected with HIV and TB in sub-Saharan Africa is an urgent research priority. In countries like South Africa, where TB and HIV are endemic, we need to reduce the high mortality rates caused by these co-infections."
Of course, neither disease is close to being eradicated. Multidrug-resistant TB is a real concern, and an effective HIV vaccine is yet to be developed.
"Our members remain committed to the fight against both diseases," says Sebati. "Hopefully in the very near future, new breakthroughs will be made that will see both HIV and TB becoming a thing of the past."

Q: Get row index in datagridview on selecting the row and pressing enter When I select the first row, I'm getting the row index as 1 which must be 0 if I'm not wrong, and 2 on selecting both 2nd and 3rd row.
private void dataGridView1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows.Count > 0)
    {
        r = this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Index;
    }
}

private void dataGridView1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyChar == 13)
    {
        p = p+1;
        if (p == 1)
        {
            if (this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows.Count > 0)
            {
                brand = dataGridView1.Rows[r].Cells[0].Value.ToString();
                datadisp();
            }
        }
    }
}

A: If you are going to perform main operation on Enter key press then you don's need to store selected row index in r on dataGridView1_SelectionChanged event. You can access the selected rows in keypress event. So remove dataGridView1_SelectionChanged and update your code for dataGridView1_KeyPress as below.
private void dataGridView1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyChar == 13)
    {
        p = p+1;
        if (p == 1)
        {
            if (this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows.Count > 0)
            {
                brand = this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Cells[0].Value.ToString();
                datadisp();
            }
        }
    }
}

Beat and Melody, Cat and Mouse
A track from Arbee Monkey's album Libre Arbitre
December 21, 2012 December 22, 2012 / By Marc Weidenbaum
In "Par Manque de Temps" by Arbee Monkey, beat and melody play a cat and mouse game. There's a deep synth tone, like something that might not have been out of place from a mid-1980s pop group, but it's used for if not dirge-like effect, then certainly something atmospheric, even maudlin. It plays against a beat that's only slightly more fleshed out than a click track. But as the piece proceeds, the roles change. At first the tone exerts a rhythmic intent, suddenly pulsing, and then the beat dissolves, eventually flanging and losing itself in its own atmospheric foray.
The piece is the opening of Arbee's Libre Arbitre, released on Recycled Plastics. The full album is at recycledplastics.bandcamp.com, there's a suite of remixes (by Darren Harper, among others) at soundcloud.com/recycledplastics, and a CDR at milieu-music.com.

Thanks Marc for this great description of the track. You do put in words what happens in this track like no one else. This disquiet.com post is really appreciated !!


I started thinking about this Bernat Blanket Yarn and wondered how it would work to make my own wreath. Well…here's what I came up with.
I used a styrofoam wreath form, Bernat Blanket Yarn in Vintage White, wired 1-1/2 inch ribbon, and a snowflake ornament from the dollar tree (not in this picture).
I started by pinning the yarn to the back of the wreath with t-pins. Here's a link to what I'm talking about, but you can find them in the fabric section of your favorite craft store. Then simply wrap the yarn around the wreath form in a single layer to completely cover the wreath. To add some texture, wrap the wreath a second time, but leave space between as you wrap.
This is a closeup of the wreath after it is wrapped twice. I forgot to take a picture before wrapping it the second time, but I hope you can see how I wrapped the first layer.
After you have finished wrapping the wreath, cut the yarn and secure the end on the back of the wreath with a couple of t-pins.
I used this tutorial to help my tie my bow. I made 3 loops on each side. I used a white pipe cleaner while making the bow and it was long enough to tie my bow around the top of the wreath. I also secured it with a couple of t-pins hidden under the middle loop just to be safe. The snowflake ornament is attached with another t-pin.
I am so happy with the way it turned out!! I love that it is wintery so I can leave it up all through January.
This works up so quickly! I only used maybe half of the skein of yarn, so you can easily get 2 wreaths out of one skein. And by using your craft store coupons, this can be a very reasonably priced project.
Still need a Christmas gift for a special friend? Or a wintery wreath for that corner in your home? You still have time to whip this up!!

A powerful forward thrusting kick, similar to that of what an ostrich does when cornered. It can be a potential deathblow when the ostrich does it, but not necessarily as bad when a human does it.
friend 1: I heard a pitbull was chasing you yesterday. What happened?
friend 2: Yeah, I ran for about a block and got tired so i turned around and ostrich kicked it in the face. It lived, but it was still out cold when i passed the street an hour later.

California History 'Round The Town: General Kearny
I'm a little ashamed to say that the first thing I usually think of when I drive down General Kearney Street is "Yeah, he was the general who lost the Battle of San Pasqual." While that is true, I've enjoyed learning more about this American military man and his role in the Mexican-American War and the settlement of the Southwest. So…now I'll have some more positive thing to review as I'm driving on this "country" road.
Stephen W. Kearny
U.S. Officer & The West
Born on August 30, 1794, Stephen W. Kearny was privileged to obtain a good education in both public schools and a university before he joined the New York Militia in 1812. After serving as a First Lieutenant during the War of 1812 (really fought between 1812-1814) with Britain, Kearny stayed in the military.
He explored the regions of modern-day Montana, Wyoming, and Nebraska, keeping detailed diaries of his observations and experiences. Appointed to the commander post at Jefferson Barracks, near St. Louis, Missouri, Kearny started socializing with the city folks and associated with the Clark Family. (William Clark had co-led the first American expedition of exploration in the west in 1804-1806). Kearny eventually married one of William Clark's stepdaughters; five of their eleven children lived to adulthood.
Nicknamed the "Father of the United States Cavalry", Kearny helped to organize and lead the 1st Dragoon Regiment (later called the 1st U.S. Cavalry). By 1836, he was the colonel of the regiment, stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and trying to keep the peace and protect the wagon trains on the plains.
Mexican-American War (1846-1848)
Promoted to brigadier general and commanding the Army of the West, Kearny headed farther west. The U.S. was embroiled in the Mexican War – it was a conflict with multiple causes, and a chief one was America's desire for expansion in the "Manifest Destiny" ideas.
Kearny easily pushed the Mexican forces out the territory of modern-day New Mexico, and working with an acting civilian governor, he secured the land and left a portion of his army there. Further dividing his army and sending units to El Paso, Kearny set off with about a third of his command (300 men) and headed for California. It was the end of September 1846.
On the trail-blazing route to California, Kearny met the explorer and guide Kit Carson. Carson was returning from California and reported that American troops controlled the Mexican province. Deciding he wouldn't have any conflicts, Kearny kept 100 men with him and sent the rest back to Santa Fe. He also requested Carson to guide him to California.
However, while heading to San Diego through the Colorado Desert, Kearny met another American group who informed him of a Californio revolt in the Los Angeles area. Apparently, the region wasn't quite as peaceful as he once believed.
Battle of San Pasqual
San Pasqual & Beyond
December 6, 1846. Kearny and his hundred men had exhausted mules, wet powder, and useless pistols. And approximately 150 Californio Lancers were waiting for them.
The Battle of San Pasqual was disastrous for the Americans. With about 18 men killed and many more wounded, they retreated to nearby high ground…and got surrounded. Though slightly wounded in the battle, Kearny retained command, decided to stay with his men, and asked Kit Carson to sneak through the Californio's lines. If Carson could get through, he could go to San Diego and bring American reinforcements.
Carson accomplished his mission, and, with the help of the sailors and marines, the Americans drove back the Californios.
By January 1847, southern California and the town of the Los Angeles were again in American hands. The Californios surrendered and the Treaty of Cahuenga ended the war's fighting in California.
Military Governor of California
Since Kearny was technically the highest ranking officer in California, he took over the post of military governor and served in the position from January to August 1847. He coordinated necessarily military duties in the new territory and arrival of new reinforcements. When he was transferred back to the east, Kearny was given a hero's welcome.
Appointed military governor of Veracruz and then Mexico City, Kearny travelled to Mexico and fulfilled the occupation duties for the U.S. Army. He got a brevet promotion to major general in September 1848, just one month before his death which was caused by yellow fever.
There's A Road Named After Him Because…?
Kearny was an early military explorer of the American west.
He organized the U.S. Cavalry in the west.
He was a military governor of California in the early days of the region's transfer from Mexican to United State's jurisdiction.
P.S. Any other U.S. military commanders in the California conflict of 1846 that are particularly interesting to you?

Q: Using completion handlers for sequential querying Firestore collections I am querying a list of restaurants via the main function just below here. Then I use the list of restaurants to get a list of meal plans they have from another collection:
MealplanCalls.getRestaurants(userId: userId) { (restaurantList, error) in
            if let error = error {
                self.showError(show: "Error", display: error)
            } else {
                var currentPlansArray = [Mealplan]()
                var restaurantIndex = 0
                while (restaurantIndex < restaurantList.count) {
                    MealplanCalls.getPlans(restaurantId: restaurantList[restaurantIndex]) { (mealplans, error) in
                        guard let mealplans = mealplans, mealplans.count > 0 else { return }
                        self.planArray.append(contentsOf: mealplans)
                        print("empty : \(self.planArray.count), \(self.planArray)")
                        if let error = error {
                            self.showError(show: "Error", display: error)
                        }
                        DispatchQueue.main.async {
                            self.planTable.reloadData()
                        }
                    currentPlansArray.removeAll()
                    restaurantIndex += 1
}
            }
        }

Here is the service where I get the list of restaurants:
static func getRestaurants(userId : String, completionHandler : @escaping ([String], String?) -> Swift.Void) {
        let db = Firestore.firestore().collection("Restaurant_Data")
        var restaurantList = [String]()
        db.whereField("users", arrayContains: userId).getDocuments { (restaurantSnapshot, error) in
            if let error = error {
                completionHandler([], error.localizedDescription)
            } else {
                for document in restaurantSnapshot!.documents {
                    restaurantList.append(document.documentID)
                }
                completionHandler(restaurantList, nil)
            }
        }
    }

And here is where I get mealplans:
static func getPlans(restaurantId : String, completion : @escaping ([Mealplan]?, String?) -> Void) {
        let db = Firestore.firestore().collection("Meal_Plans")
        db.whereField("restaurantId", isEqualTo: restaurantId).order(by: "hour", descending: false).getDocuments { (querySnapshot, error) in
            if let error = error {
                completion([], error.localizedDescription)
            } else {
                let mealplans = querySnapshot?.documents.compactMap { (queryDocuments) -> Mealplan in Mealplan(dictionary: queryDocuments.data(), mealplanId: queryDocuments.documentID, opened: false, menuItems: [MenuItems(menuItemName: "", menuItemQuantity: "")])!}
                completion(mealplans, nil)
            }
        }
    }

The problem is in my tableview I just see one of the meal plans repeated planArray.count times. I think the main question is where do I reload the tableview?

A: You can use dispatchGroup to solve this problem
MealplanCalls.getRestaurants(userId: userId) { (restaurantList, error) in
            if let error = error {
                self.showError(show: "Error", display: error)
            } else {
                var currentPlansArray = [Mealplan]()
                var restaurantIndex = 0
                let group = DispatchGroup()

                while (restaurantIndex < restaurantList.count) {
                    group.enter()
                    MealplanCalls.getPlans(restaurantId: restaurantList[restaurantIndex]) { (mealplans, error) in
                        guard let mealplans = mealplans, mealplans.count > 0 else { return }
                        self.planArray.append(contentsOf: mealplans)
                        print("empty : \(self.planArray.count), \(self.planArray)")
                        if let error = error {
                            self.showError(show: "Error", display: error)
                        }

                    group.leave()
                    currentPlansArray.removeAll()
                    restaurantIndex += 1
               }
            }

                group.notify(queue: DispatchQueue.main, execute: {

                  self.planTable.reloadData()
                })

        }
}


Two decades after Nintendo cancelled the release of Star Fox 2, resigning the Argonaut-developed sequel to a secret life as a Super Nintendo bootleg, fans were finally able to play it legitimately last week with the launch of the SNES Classic Mini.
Now bootleggers have started selling reproduction copies of the SNES Classic Mini version of the Star Fox 2 ROM, and so the circle is finally complete.
Yes, if you have a spare $60 that you're not already giving to a scalper to help secure that SNES Classic you decided not to queue up for because Reggie said it would be fine, then you could always spend it on a Star Fox 2 cartridge based on the SNES Classic version of the code.
Whereas the previous bootlegs were translations, this is a legit English version. Well, "legit" feels like the wrong word, but you know what we mean.
Apparently new versions are appearing on Etsy as well.
Buyer beware, though - these are totally unofficial, usually ROMs imprinted onto donor carts (i.e. other less valuable games) with custom repro stickers on the exterior. The seller of the eBay one notes that it has no save-game battery.
In a curious twist, it also only works on real Super Nintendo hardware rather than the Retron or other reproduction tech. We've forgotten the definition of irony, but maybe it's this.

Legend has it that the name 'Jamaica Plain' came from the fondness some early residents had for Jamaican rum. A more likely theory stipulates the name came from Kutchamakin, regent to the chief of the Massachusett tribe, whose anglicized name could have been 'Jamaica'.
Some notable people who have lived in Jamaica Plain are Orange is the New Black actress Diane Guerrero, Dole Food Company founder James Dole, New Kids on the Block member Joey McIntyre, and poet Sylvia Plath.
Jamaica Pond has 60 acres of service area and is both the largest and deepest source of freshwater in all of Boston.
Whether you pick up a fair-trade coffee at City Feed, order a burrito at The Purple Cactus, or bring your dog in for a pint at the Brendan Behan Pub, there are dozens of unique places to indulge your tastebuds in JP. Here are just a few that are worth a taste!
Tres Gatos: Arguably one of the most well known Jamaica Plain establishments, Tres Gatos combines their tasty eatery with a music and book store. Patrons whose palettes enjoy varying textures and tastes will swoon over the elegant tapas-themed menu featuring favorites such as tortilla espanola, a slice of yukon gold potatoes with farm fresh eggs and pimenton aioli, or the crispy chickpea fritters served with green garlic and tzatziki sauce. Stop by on a weekend between 10am-3pm for sweet potato pancakes or the Millennial favorite - avocado toast. Finish off your meal with a decadent dessert of churros con chocolate, a local favorite! After you've paid the bill, head to the back to browse the shelves filled to the brim with books and music. You might find a unique souvenir to bring home from your dining experience!
The Haven: Patrons of this local almost-pub will feel like they're taking a step across the pond when they sit down to a meal at The Haven. This Scottish packed menu has a smattering of unique offerings that one might not otherwise run into in Boston. Reviewers rave about the traditional Scotch Egg, a crispy sausage wrapped hard boiled egg with mustard and arugula. Additionally, though not for all palettes, the Scottish comfort food lamb haggis is served regularly with roasted potatoes, baby turnips, whisky sauce, and Drambuie butter. For the less adventurous among you, try the fish supper with beer battered haddock or shepherd's pie with a flaky crust to die for. After your meal, save some room for dessert because The Haven's signature dessert of the Deep Fried Mars Bar is a sweet must! Stop by The Haven for a bite and if you're lucky, catch some football (soccer, for the Americans) while you enjoy your fare.
Ten Tables: Founder Krista Kranyak founded Ten Tables with hard work and a dream: to be a neighborhood restaurant that cultivates each part of the dining experience carefully and serves food made with local, fresh ingredients.

Brassica Kitchen & Café: By day, this charming café serves up a thoughtful selection of espresso, coffee, scratch pastries, and sandwiches. Treat your palette to a morning favorite like the Woodlawn; house made bacon, cream cheese, and fig spread on a plain or everything bagel. Looking for something a little sweeter? Brassica rotates through a menu of fresh doughnuts including chocolate, peanut butter, rhubarb, and more. If you happen by this stop for lunch, try the grilled apple cheddar sandwich or beet salad with garlic yogurt, crispy kale, brown butter panko, and pistachio powder. By night, the same locale transforms into a buzzworthy dinner spot French American style dishes. Try the smoked pork, rye gnocchi, or roast duck dumplings; the food here is truly artistic expression through cuisine! If you're lucky enough to stop in Sunday brunch, reviewers rave about the chicken and waffles complete with maple umeboshi and hot sauce. Whatever time of day you pay a visit to Brassica, be sure to come with an empty belly!

nisqlm system commands may be executed from either operating mode. Unlike modal commands, system commands must fit entirely on the current prompt line. Any command prefixed by a period that is not recognized as a system command is passed to the operating system shell for execution.
The .DATA command switches the display of fetched data off or on. When switched off, nisqlm performs query fetches but does not show the retrieved data. Only the number of rows returned and the column headers are displayed.
The .EXIT command returns the user to the operating system shell. nisqlm automatically disconnects all currently active sessions initiated from the client.
null-character is the character that represents null values in the exported data.
There is a "bulk fetch" option that allows data to be exported at a faster rate than with the standard .EXPORT. However, this feature should be used only when nisqlm is not running on the same machine as nserv, otherwise the I/O contention between the two will significantly degrade performance. To enable bulk fetching, simply include the BULK keyword after the .EXPORT keyword and before the SQL clause.
In the above .EXPORT statement, the results of the embedded SELECT statement are to be written to the specified file (exp.dat), via bulk fetching from the server. Here, the escape character is \x1b (the hexadecimal representation of the ASCII escape character), the column separator is a pipe symbol ( | ), the row separator is \x0a (the hexadecimal representation of the linefeed character), and the null character is the ASCII "double dagger" symbol ( ‡ ). Note that there are no defaults for the special characters in the ESCAPE clause, so they must each be defined in the .EXPORT statement.
The .HELP command displays a list of all system commands and their syntax.
The .HEX command switches the hexadecimal display of binary data on or off. When turned off, unprintable characters are output as periods ( . ). This command is useful when querying BLOB columns.
The .INDEX command toggles the display of a row index. When turned on, returned rows will have an extra column called ID, which contains the numerical order in which the rows were fetched starting from 1. By default, row indexing is turned off.
The .INTERVAL command executes the specified SQL statement and displays n rows, sampled at regular intervals from the result set. If the n argument is not supplied, the value is assumed to be 100. When the REPEAT option is included (which is also the default), the number of rows specified is the number of rows displayed, even if it is greater than the total number of rows in the result set. If necessary, some or all of the displayed rows are duplicated. When the NO REPEAT option is specified, there is no row duplication, and the number of rows displayed can be less than n.
The SQL statement must end with a semicolon ( ; ).
The .MAXLENGTH command switches full display of character data on or off. By default, nisqlm limits the data display to 40 characters.
The .MAXROWS command specifies the maximum number of rows (n) returned by a query. That is, if n is less than the number of rows normally returned by a query, an arbitrary subset of n rows will be returned instead. The default is 0 (unlimited).
While this system command is enabled, the true number of rows returned by a query will be obscured by the MAXROWS limitation. To disable the command, use .MAXROWS 0.
The .MEASURE command switches the timing of query fetches on or off. When switched on, query output will also display the elapsed time for command execution, each fetch stage (512 KB of data per fetch stage), and the query as a whole.
After this command is executed, nisqlm will return the string 'N/A' in place of any nulls returned by SELECT statements. To clear the null string setting, execute the .NULLS command without an argument.
The .OUTPUT command switches session logging on or off. When session logging is on, all nisqlm input and output is recorded in a file named inter.out in the current working directory. If logging is turned off and then on again within a single nisqlm session, nisqlm continues to append to the output file without overwriting its contents. Turning on logging in a subsequent session, however, will overwrite any preexisting output file. A session can be started with logging turned on by including the -o flag in the nisqlm invocation.
When session logging is enabled, executing queries that produce large result sets can cause the log file to grow quite large. Eventually, disk space can be exhausted, and the SAND CDBMS software will terminate abnormally. If possible, avoid logging large queries, or else use the .QUIET or .DATA command to hide the results of such queries.
The .PROMPT command switches the SQL prompt display (that is, SQL:n>) on or off. A session can be started with the prompt display turned off by including the -p flag in the nisqlm invocation.
The .QUIET command switches SELECT statement output off or on. After execution of the .QUIET command, nisqlm returns only a count of the rows constituting the SELECT statement result, and not the actual data.
The .RUN command executes a batch of commands, either contained in a host file, or entered from the console. The file argument must be the name of an ASCII text file containing valid commands for the current mode, or system commands.
The contents of the file sql.txt must be valid SAND CDBMS SQL statements, since nisqlm is in SQL mode (unless system mode change commands are included in the file). nisqlm executes the statements in the order of their placement in the file. If a hyphen ( - ) is specified for the file argument, nisqlm accepts valid commands from the console until Ctrl+D is entered (indicating end of input).
The .SESS command, when executed in SQL mode, changes the current operating mode to Session mode. If the optional command argument is included, it must be a valid Session mode command. The Session mode command specified is executed without leaving the current nisqlm mode.
The .SQL command, when executed in Session mode, changes the current operating mode to SQL mode. If the optional command argument is included, it must be a valid SAND CDBMS SQL statement. The specified SQL command is executed without leaving the current nisqlm mode.
The .STARTROW command specifies the row in the result set from which to start fetching. For example, if n is 5, the first four rows in the result set are not displayed by nisqlm. By default, all rows are displayed (n = 1).
The .STATS command displays the current values of nisqlm system variables as well as the database connection status for the client.
Displays OUTPUT flag status as set by the -o option flag or the .OUTPUT system command (ON or OFF).
Displays PROMPT flag status as set by the -p option flag or the .PROMPT system command (ON or OFF).
Displays TITLES flag status as set by the -t option flag or the .TITLES system command (ON or OFF).
Displays the DATA flag status as set by the .DATA system command (ON or OFF).
Displays WARNINGS flag status as set by the -w option flag or the .WARNINGS system command (ON or OFF).
Displays QUIET flag status as set by the .QUIET system command (ON or OFF).
Displays INDEX flag status as set by the .INDEX system command (ON or OFF).
Displays the MEASURE flag status as set by the .MEASURE system command (ON or OFF).
Displays MAXLENGTH flag status as set by the .MAXLENGTH system command (ON or OFF).
Displays HEX flag status as set by the .HEX system command (ON or OFF).
Displays the MAXROWS value specified using the .MAXROWS system command. Here, the maximum number of rows has not been set explicitly, so it defaults to unlimited.
Displays whether the .INTERVAL option is set to REPEAT or not.
Displays the number of rows set by the .INTERVAL command (100 by default).
Displays the starting row for fetches as set by the .STARTROW system command (1 by default).
Displays the database sessions (that is, connections) maintained by the current client. The server and database instance name are separated by the "at" symbol (@), and an asterisk ( * ) indicates the current session. As well, the server software version and the transaction mode (SERIALIZABLE or EXCLUSIVE) are displayed.
The .SYSTEM command passes control to the operating system for execution of the command specified by the command argument. This is equivalent to typing .command, since all commands prefixed by a period that are unrecognized by nisqlm are passed to the operating system for execution.
The .TIME command displays the current time. If executed subsequently during the same nisqlm session, it displays the time elapsed since the previous invocation of the command.
The .TITLES command switches the display of column names in the headings of query results on and off. A session can be started with the .TITLES display turned off by including the -t flag in the nisqlm invocation.
The .WARNINGS command switches the display of SQL warning messages on or off. A session can be started with SQL warning messages suppressed by including the -w flag in the nisqlm invocation.

About Keith Greiner
In his sixth term, Rep. Keith J. Greiner, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), will continue to be a fiscal watchdog for the 43rd District in Harrisburg. Keith will bring his expertise in auditing, accounting and tax law to the Capitol to defend Pennsylvania's taxpayers and work to ensure state government operates efficiently.
Keith gained an understanding of sound financial practices and the needs of the private sector during his nearly 25 years of experience in the business world. He will work to correct out-of-control government spending and overregulation that has hindered employers and job creation. Promoting tax fairness will help Pennsylvania's families to thrive and employers to compete more effectively.
Along with job creation, Keith will focus on state and municipal pension reform. He believes public employees should receive the same benefits as the people for whom they work, and he will use his expertise in accounting to help resolve Pennsylvania's multi-billion-dollar public pension quagmire.
Keith refuses to accept taxpayer-funded per diems, vehicles, meals and cell phones. His fiscal insight will continue to be an advantage in the state budget process as he fights to ensure Pennsylvania focuses its limited resources on important priorities, such as job creation, education and agriculture, while also concentrating on cutting debt and wasteful spending.
A lifelong resident of Lancaster County, Keith understands and shares the values of the people he serves and steadfastly defends them at the state Capitol.
No stranger to public service, Keith served as Lancaster County Controller where he kept a watchful eye on county government finances and helped to hold the line on property taxes. Prior to that he was elected supervisor of Upper Leacock Township and served as an elected auditor. He is an active volunteer with the Upper Leacock Fire Company where he served as a firefighter for many years and its fire prevention coordinator.
Keith is a graduate of Penn State University and is a life member of its alumni association. He has served for 20 years as a board member of the Ressler Mill Foundation, and currently as its president. He also served as a member of the American Business Club (AMBUCS) of Lancaster for nearly 25 years and is a past vice president helping those individuals with disabilities. He also served for many years in church leadership.
The 43rd Legislative District is comprised of the boroughs of Akron, Ephrata and New Holland, and the townships of Earl, Ephrata, Leacock, Upper Leacock and West Earl.

Ailsa's Travel Theme this week is 'Self', so I got hubby to take this photo by the tree at the club. It wasn't until I walked in and saw the Christmas tree, that I realised I was appropriately dressed in red and white and looked like Mother Christmas, or maybe that should be 'Granny Christmas' ….. note that there's no beard.
Oh! Such a beautiful picture, you and the tree sparkle!
già fatto l'albero? non fai il Presepe? ossantacleopatra io devo ancora fare tutto ed anche mettere le luci fuori in giardino, sono scusata ero fuorie sono arrivata solo stasera.Coplimenti siete bellissimi, tu e l'albero!
I think they wouldn't do the Nativity scene here at our country club, because most of the members happen to be Jewish. They also have decoration for Hanukkah in the other corner of the foyer.
what a lovely tree. Mine is still in its box and will only see day light from about the 16th.
Beautiful Sylvia! You look very merry and full of joy!
That is indeed a beautiful tree. Are you sure you are not Mrs Santa? Like you said, you are appropriately dressed. 🙂 Have a lovely pre-Christmas period.
That looks fantastic with you! Have a wonderful Christmas time!
Such a beauty — and the tree looks good, too.
you are as elegant as the tree thoug not as decorated!!
Very nice tree with that snowy boughs look.
Christmas is definitely getting close. And this is a marvellous shot. Great.
You make a wonderful Mother Christmas person.
How very elegant Sylvia !
You look beautiful Sylvia! Like a Christmas ornament yourself. Far too young looking to be Mother Christmas!
Two beauties- but especially you Sylvia!
Thanks. Gunta. I don't even have a mousy ache.
You are a perfect match – both beautiful, dressed up in the right colours, he's a bit taller than you and wearing a perfect beard. And – he's loaded with presents!
I'm giggling too, but you do look beautiful, Ad. 🙂 You're sacrificing all that warmth and glamour for an English Christmas?
Your color choice makes a lovely Christmas photo…Karma working in your favor.
Appropriately clad, indeed, and a really good-looking tree.
Yes, they always do a great Christmas tree here.
Nope. Christmas trees in a warm climate just do not do it for me. I could never get used to it in South Africa. But you are looking good Sylvia! When do you get to England?
I have to say that I'm not in the Christmas spirit yet. We get to England on 21sr.
I love celebrating Christmas in Flip Flops!
Wow…! U r beautiful sylvia… And that snowy tree also…!!!
Nice picture. I'm beginning to feel a bit "Christmas-y"!
Beautiful Sylvia – love the photograph! Have a wonderful weekend.
Beautiful, Granny! 🙂 Have a blessed weekend, Sylvia!
You do it very well.Chrismâs comes near.. in a few weeks she's knocking at the door.
You said it before me……but I agree.
A pox on her with a thousand pounds of chocolate cakes and Christmas cookies.

Metropolitan Manila (or Metro Manila) is the name used for the greater Manila area. Manila is comprised of 16 cities and 1 municipality that form the National Capital Region (NCR). When referring to Manila it could refer to Manila City (one of the cities of the NCR) or Metro Manila as a whole. Either way, Manila is a huge city.
[Political map of Metro Manila by Philtro.]
Manila City is considered the most densely populated in the world, while Metro Manila has a recorded population density of 21,765 persons per square kilometre. Depending on what statistics you use, it is the 4th or 5th largest urban area in the world (behind Tokyo, Jakarta, New Delhi, and Shanghai). One estimate puts Metro Manila with a population of over 28 million people. Jakarta has the largest urban area population in Southeast Asia (about 30 million people) but it "only" has a density/km2 of 4,898.
This Future Manila page continues the Future Cities series at Future Southeast Asia. Even though the cities of the NCR are considered cities in themselves, this page will put everything on one page. If it gets too unwieldy I will break up the page into its city parts.
This page is an ongoing project, so I have set up the index structure first and I will fill in the other cities over time.I will also do a separate page for the future urban rail transit system and the land reclamation projects of Manila Bay. I will index those pages here once they are published.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) rehabilitation
Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) is the main airport of Manila, and it is famous for its congestion and delays. NAIA is in Parañaque and Pasay City in a built-up area, so expanding the airport would require land appropriation. Congestion is compounded by its cross-runway layout, which is a legacy of when it was USAF base Nichols Field. Most larger airports have a more efficient parallel runway operation.
