Virat Kohli steps down as India's Test captain
New Delhi [India], January 15 (ANI): Virat Kohli on Saturday announced that he is stepping down as the captain of the Indian Test team.
Last year, Kohli had stepped down as the T20I captain and then he was removed as the ODI leader as the selectors wanted one captain for the white-ball format.
"It's been 7 years of hard work, toil and relentless perseverance everyday to take the team in the right direction. I've done the job with absolute honesty and left nothing out there. Every thing has to come to a halt at some stage and for me as Test Captain of India, it's now. There have been many ups and also some downs along the journey, but never has there been a lack of effort or lack of belief. I have always believed in giving my 120 percent in everything I do, and if I can't do that, I know it's not the right thing to do. I have absolute clarity in my heart and I cannot be dishonest to my team," Kohli said in a statement.
"I want to thank the BCCI for giving me the opportunity to lead my country for such a long period of time and more importantly to all the teammates who bought into the vision I bad for the team from day one and never gave up in any situation. You guys have made this journey so memorable and beautiful. To Ravi Bhai and the support group who were the engine behind this vehicle that moved us upwards in Test Cricket consistently, you all have played a massive role in bringing this vision to life. Lastly, a big thank you to MS Dhoni who believed in me as a Captain and found me to be an able individual who could take Indian Cricket forward," he added.
Kohli's decision to leave Test captaincy comes a day after India lost the three-match Test series against South Africa on Friday.
Virat Kohli's biggest win in the longest format came during 2018-19 as India won its first Test series Down Under. Under his captaincy, India also reached the finals of the World Test Championship (WTC).
It needs to be pointed that Kohli has not registered a century in international cricket since November 2019. He last scored a ton against Bangladesh in the day-night Test at the Eden Gardens. (ANI)

This historic landmark used to be a ski area back in the day. As you head up the Wapack Trail you will see remains of the ski operation. At the top you will see a communications tower and a view point to the north, you can stop here or continue back into the woods and continue to follow the Wapack Trail out to the unique rock cairn living room, that has been created. This living room feature chairs, couches and fire pits all crafted out of rocks! A really neat place to stop and take a break.
The Wapack Trail, leaves the parking area and follows a wide access road up the side of the old ski area. Since it is a road the footing is good and the elevation grade is mild/moderate. Once at the top of the ski area, you will continue to follow the Wapack trail into the woods where it becomes narrow and wooded. The trail in the woods is relatively flat with very little, if any elevation change.

Q: С помощью JSOUP спарсить текст! Как мне достать весь текст из этого куска статьи? Обычным способом это не получается
В новогодние праздники за лидерство в североамериканском бокс-офисе разгорелась нешуточная борьба: «Последние джедаи» едва не уступили пальму первенства ремейку «Джуманджи». Более того, победу восьмому эпизоду удалось вырвать лишь к концу уикенда (29 декабря — 1 января), хотя некоторые аналитики сомневались в столь удачном окончании выходных для фильма Райана Джонсона.

    В итоге «Последние джедаи» добавили в свою копилку еще $66,8 млн, собрав таким образом в североамериканском прокате $531,5 млн и опередив по этому показателю «Красавицу и чудовище». Однако в мировом прокате, где новые «Звездные войны» освоили $1,05 млрд, музыкальную сказку от студии Disney им только предстоит обойти.

    Примечательно, что из всего топа-5 только восьмой эпизод лишился части аудитории, хотя падение зрительского интереса к картине Джонсона составило скромные 6,6%. Пока лента на 28% отстает от «Пробуждения силы», зато может похвастаться тем, что уже сейчас обошла первый спин-офф франшизы. Показательным для «Последних джедаев» станет следующий уикенд, когда фильм откроется в кинотеатрах Китая.

    Продолжает радовать своих создателей приключенческая комедия «Джуманджи: Зов джунглей», которая несмотря на весьма скептические прогнозы сумела за 13 дней пребывания в прокате заработать $185,2 млн, практически удвоив сумму сборов оригинального фильма 1995 года (без учета инфляции). И хотя критики довольно прохладно отнеслись к ленте Джейка Кэздана, удачные юмористические вставки и очаровательный актерский состав сделали ее любимчиком зрителей в сегменте картин для семейного просмотра. Именно поэтому за праздничный уикенд аудитория «Зова джунглей» выросла на 83%, позволив ему записать в свой финансовый актив дополнительные $66,3 млн.

    «Идеальный голос 3» продолжает приносить студии Universal стабильный доход: на этих выходных триквел освоил еще $21,7 млн. Режиссер Триш Си попыталась сыграть на ностальгических чувствах зрителей, однако небольшой прирост аудитории в праздники показывает, что киноманы уже устали от «Барденских Белл» и их выступлений. Хотя музыкальные номера в третьей части получились отменными — сказывается предыдущий опыт Си, ранее работавшей над музыкальными клипами и «Шагом вперед». Во всем остальном «Идеальный голос 3» получился заурядным фильмом, который порой даже претендует на лавры шпионского боевика.

    Кому новогодние празднества принесли удачу, так это «Величайшему шоумену». В свою первую прокатную неделю мюзикл от студии 20th Century Fox не продемонстрировал ничего выдающегося. Более того, критики разочаровались в ленте Майкла Грэйси, хотя стоит отдать должное австралийцу: он прыгнул выше своей головы. Пусть «Величайший шоумен» и получился весьма предсказуемым, но манера съемки превращает происходящее на экране в захватывающее представление, а его главная звезда, Хью Джекман, и танцует, и поет, и играет великолепно. Вероятно, поэтому в минувший уикенд зрители толпами отправились на киносеансы картины, увеличив ее аудиторию больше, чем на 100%, и пополнив кассу фильма на $20,9 млн. Правда, этого рывка недостаточно для итогового успеха, и пока с общей суммой в $54,4 млн и $84-миллионным бюджетом «Величайший шоумен» претендует на звание одного из провалов года.

    Замыкает пятерку лучших мультик «Фердинанд», также оказавшийся в числе тех, кому повезло в Новый год. За прошедшие выходные анимационная лента собрала в два раза больше, нежели неделей ранее, и благодаря дополнительным $14,9 млн у нее в копилке теперь имеется $57 млн.

Q: javascript array function can't be used below is a piece of js code.When I run it with "node" command. It displays. "notes.filter" is not a function.If I comment "JSON.parse" line. It works. But video tutorial does have this line. So I am quite confused here.  Could any one helps here. Thanks a lot.
var addNote = (title, body) => {
  var notes = [];
  var note = {
    title,
    body
  }

  try {
    var notesstring = fs.readFileSync('notes-data.json');
    notes = JSON.parse(notesstring);
  } catch (e) {

  }

  console.log(Array.isArray(notes));
  var duplicateNote = notes.filter((note) => note.title === title);
  if (duplicateNote.length === 0) {
    notes.push(note);
    fs.writeFileSync('notes-data.json', JSON.stringify(note));
  }
};

A: I had the same problem while going through the course but ended up fixing it.
For some reason, I was getting back bad JSON, and so I had to delete the note-data.json file, and then re-run the app. This fixed it for me!

View Full Version : Point camera or viewer to surface/geometry?
You can do it with nodal motion. Using DP point info and target, you can target an item to a given mesh vertex.
This question is because somebody that uses Softimage and now is learning LW said me that a light or camera can point to an object just with a click and he wants to know if it's possible in LW... it would be a nice add-on I think.


Only 3 bottles in our review scored lower than the eddy. This bottle just didn't have high enough scores in our tests to rank higher. It is made of plastic, which is not eco-healthy, and the lack of insulation and debris lid hurt it as well. While it was easy to drink from and lightweight, it just didn't offer many other features to help it stand out in tests or in our hearts. This is not a bottle we recommend.
The CamelBak eddy bottle is designed for children from 3-8 years of old. It has a 12 ounce capacity and is 100% BPA free. The body is made of Tritan Copolyester and the cap is made with BPA-free polypropylene. The bite valve is medical grade silicone. It sports a simplified straw for kids that folds in on itself to help keep it free of debris, and the smaller bottle size makes it good for packing in lunch bags and backpacks. All the parts are easy to clean and are child safe. The bottles are spill resistant and come in a variety of colors and patterns.
We liked the big bite valve on this bottle, which allowed for easy sucking and a regular rate of flow. The valve attached to the mouthpiece is pretty much leak proof, scoring a 9 of 10 in this metric with just a little bit of leaking when the bottle is tipped sideways.
It is a lightweight bottle that is easy for kids to lift and transport even when full. It has a nice loop for attaching the bottle to backpacks and strollers and the lighter weight means it easier to transport for little people than the heavier insulated steel options.
We also liked that this bottle is clear and parents can easily see how much liquid is left inside. While we recognize this is an attribute related to being made of plastic, and that we don't like plastic in general, it is at least the brighter side of plastic and a nice result of using plastic in kids drinking products.
Probably our biggest dislike of this bottle is that it is made of plastic. The Tritan Copolyester material is BPA-free, but the company does not offer information on if any testing has been completed on whether or not this plastic releases chemicals into its contents. This gives us pause, and while we aren't saying it does leach chemicals, we are just saying we aren't sure and that makes plastic less desirable than the stainless steel varieties of bottles that absolutely don't leach chemicals. This means the bottle scored poorly for eco-health with only a 3 of 10 in this metric.
CamelBak eddy was previously available in Stainless Steel which we preferred, however it was heavier than the plastic version and would sweat as it was not insulated.
This bottle is relatively hard to put together and take apart. It has more pieces than some of the other bottles and it took us longer to assemble them than most of the other bottles. The plastic components were also harder to clean than the stainless steel options, and it required a straw brush to clean.
We also didn't like that this bottle is not insulated. While insulation isn't a necessity, it is a nice feature and given the other lacking attributes of this bottle, not being insulated just made the bottle less interesting to us.
This bottle did not do well in our review coming in 7th out of 11. It is made almost entirely of plastic, is not insulated, and was difficult to assemble and clean. While it is lightweight, easy to drink from, and almost completely leak-proof it just lacked many of the attributes we look for in a kid's bottle. The potential for plastics to leach chemicals and the lack of insulation make this a bottle we don't recommend.


After the US officially blamed North Korea last week for the cyberattack on Sony Pictures, Pyongyang's cybercapabilities and growing threats from them came into the spotlight.
The communist state has nearly doubled the number of its cyberwarfare operatives to around 5,900 over the last two years, military authorities in the South estimate, as Pyongyang seeks to strengthen its asymmetric military capabilities.
Through a series of educational facilities based in the North and abroad, Pyongyang has nurtured what it calls cyberwarriors. The North is known to have started cyberwarfare education and training from the mid-1980s.
With its debilitated economy, the North has sought the most cost-effective ways to handle its more affluent, better-equipped adversaries: South Korea and the US For the North, building cyberskills is one of the most inexpensive ways to counter its security challenges.
The increasing cyberthreats from the unpredictable regime have been shared by the South, the US and other countries as malicious cyberincursions could seriously impact people's lives by paralysing financial, traffic, aviation and power supply centers, broadcasting networks, communications channels and state governance apparatus.
Pyongyang has proved its will and capability to mount such cyberattacks against the South in recent years, exploiting the easy accessibility and anonymity of the transnational cyber domain, and the difficulty of singling out a culprit for cybercrimes.
In recent years, the North launched a series of cyberattacks on South Korean banks and websites of major South Korean businesses and government agencies including Cheong Wa Dae and the Defence Ministry.
The North has always denied responsibility, calling Seoul's argument a complete "fabrication." For the attack on Sony Pictures, the North also denied its culpability, proposing a joint investigation into the incident.
The North's cyberwarfare organs belong to the General Staff of the North Korean People's Army and the General Bureau of Reconnaissance, its premier military intelligence and propaganda agency. The two entities operate under the country's powerful National Defence Commission.
Among the organs under the GBR is Unit 121, which is tasked with penetrating enemy computer networks to secure confidential documents or spread viruses.
Also under the GBR are Offices Nos. 91 and 3132, in charge of hacking missions and electronic psychological warfare, respectively. Lab 110 of the GBR is tasked with launching cyberattacks on the enemy's military or other strategic installations.
According to defectors and reports, the North selects cybersavvy students from across the country at an early age, and sends them to Geumseong Middle School in Pyongyang to give them intensive cybersecurity training.
They are then sent to Kim Il-sung Military University, Command Automation University, Kim Chaek University of Technology or Moranbong University for further education. Upon graduation, they become elite cyberwarfare officers.
To counter the North's cyberthreats, Seoul established the Cyberwarfare Command, headed by a one-star general, in 2010. In corps and higher-level units of each armed service, it runs the Computer Emergency Response Team to handle any cyberintrusions.

Q: How to connect Mobx6 store to react 15.8 component? 'Uncaught Invariant Violation, Hooks can only be called inside the body of a function component'' I am trying to connect to a mobx store to my react component.
library versions:
 "mobx": "^6.3.2"
 "mobx-react": "^7.2.0"
 "react": "16.8.2"
 "react-dom": "16.8.2"

Below is the minimal sample code:
A.tsx
const root_store = new RootStore();

ReactDOM.render(
    <Provider root_store={root_store}>
        <IApp></IApp>
    </Provider>,
    document.getElementById('root'),
);

B.tsx (for IApp component ^^)
interface Props {
    root_store?: RootStore;
}

class App extends React.Component<Props> {
    render(): any {
        return (

                 <IEventsEmbedSkin />

        )
    }
}

export const IApp = inject(({root_store}:{root_store:RootStore}) => {
    console.log(root_store);
    return {
        root_store: root_store,
    };
})(observer(App))

C.tsx (for IEventsEmbedSkin component ^^ )
interface Props {
    root_store?: RootStore;
}

class EventsEmbedSkin extends React.Component<Props> {

    render(): JSX.Element {
        return (

        );
    }
}

export const IEventsEmbedSkin = inject(({root_store}:{root_store:RootStore}) => {
    console.log(root_store);
    return {
        root_store: root_store,
    };
})(observer(EventsEmbedSkin));

If I DON'T RENDER IEventsEmbedSkin component in file B.tsx (imported from file C.tsx), everything works fine in file B, react responds to any store update. when I Render IEventsEmbedSkin component (imported from file C.tsx) I get this error:

Uncaught Invariant Violation: Hooks can only be called inside the body of a function component.

The above error occurred in the  component:

Uncaught Invariant Violation: Hooks can only be called inside the body of a function component.

Can anyone help me with what's going on?
I cannot change my react version.
my stores look like this:
rootstore.tsx
export class RootStore {
    context_store: ContextStore;
    recording_store: RecordingStore;

    constructor(props: Props) {

        this.context_store = new ContextStore({
            root_store: this,
        });

        this.recording_store = new RecordingStore({
            root_store: this,
        });
    }
}

contextstore.tsx:
export class ContextStore {
    root_store: RootStore;
    status: 'pending' | 'error' | 'done' | 'debug' = 'debug';

    constructor(props: Props) {
        this.root_store = props.root_store;

        makeObservable(
            this,
            {
                status: observable,
                initialise: action,
            },
            {
                autoBind: true,
            },
        );
    }

    public async initialise(): Promise<void> {
        this.status = 'pending';
        try {
            const data = await this.api_store.get_config_and_instance_data();

            runInAction(() => {
                this.status = 'done';
            });
        } catch (e) {
            runInAction(() => {
                this.status = 'error';
            });
        }
    }

Send Flowers for Fr. Donald
Fr. Donald Bernard Braukmann
August 3, 1960 ~ July 17, 2019 (age 58)
Fr. Donald Bernard Braukmann, 58, died on July 17, 2019 at Neilson Place, Bemidji Minnesota, after a long battle with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).
Visitation will be from 5-7pm on Sunday, July 21, 2019 at St. Philip's Catholic Church in Bemidji, Minnesota, with a prayer service at 7pm. The funeral Mass for Fr. Don will be at 9:30 a.m., on Monday, July 22, 2019 also at St. Philip's Catholic Church with visitation one hour prior to the service. A memorial service with burial will be at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 23, 2019 at Fr. Don's home parish in Butler, Minnesota (rural New York Mills). Arrangements were entrusted to the Olson-Schwartz Funeral Home, Bemidji.
Donald Bernard Braukmann was born on August 3, 1960 to John & Josephine (Hendrickx) Braukmann. He lived the first 18 years of his life on the family dairy farm and attended Holy Cross Catholic Church in Butler Township. It was there, in the parish he still loves, that he was Baptized, made his First Communion, was Confirmed and ordained a Deacon. He will be buried at Holy Cross Cemetery, next to his parents and those members of Holy Cross who nurtured his faith all his life.
Those who know Fr. Don know of his love for the farm, his home parish and his hometown. On this side of heaven, the area was always "home" no matter where he lived. Don graduated from New York Mills High school in 1978.
After high school graduation Fr. Don attended the University of Minnesota, Crookston (a 2 year school at the time) and became involved with events through the Diocese of Crookston, namely, Teens Encounter Christ, where his call to the priesthood came to life.
He entered St. John Vianney Seminary on the campus of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, the fall of 1980, graduating in 1982. In 1986, Fr. Don completed his studies at the University of St. Mary of the Lake Seminary in Mundelein, Illinois, and was ordained a Priest for the Diocese of Crookston at St. Henry's Catholic Church in Perham, Minnesota, on March 15, 1986.
During his seminary years, in 1983, Fr. Don spent five months in the holy land which he said was 4 months and 28 days too long. He was a "Minnesota Boy" and was very homesick.
Over his 30 years as a priest for the Diocese of Crookston, Fr. Don first lived in Moorhead, serving St. Joseph's Church from 1986-1990. From 1990-1996 he lived in Ada serving St. Joseph's Church and during those six years also served St. Lawrence in Felton, Holy Family in Halstad, and St. John's in Georgetown. From 1996-2004 he lived in Greenbush serving Blessed Sacrament Church along with St. Aloysius of Leo, St. Joseph of Middle River, St. Edward's Karlstad and Assumption Church of Florian. From 2004-2011 he was at St. Mary's in Warroad and served St. Philips Church of Falun, St. Joseph's in Williams and Sacred Heart Church of Baudette during those years. From 2011 until retirement (because of ALS) on June 30, 2018, he served St. Philip's Church, Bemidji, and St. Charles of Pennington.
Fr. Don's passion for the pro-life cause is well known. He defended the right to life of each person from womb to tomb. He wrote a column in the Diocese of Crookston paper, "Our Northland Diocese," for many years. Three books compiling his writing were produced during that time including: "As It Is In Heaven," "Spoken Through the Prophets," and "…He Took Flesh."
Fr. Don was a faithful fan of the Minnesota Twins and even attended the second game of the World Series in 1991! The Minnesota Vikings disappointed him for years, including through four Super Bowls. To compensate, he was a New England Patriots fan once the Vikings were eliminated from the playoffs! Being with family and attending high school sporting and other events were his favorite hobbies.
Fr. Don was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Denis, all his grandparents, and all his aunts and uncles.
Remaining behind on this side of heaven are his siblings and their spouses: His sisters, Mary Ann (Albert) Jorgenson of rural Perham, MN; Karen (LeRoy) Haman of Bluffton, MN; and Janice (Dean) Huwe of rural New York Mills, MN. His brothers, Bob (Irene Sczygiel) of Detroit Lakes, MN and David (Laurine Abrahamson) of New York Mills, MN; sister-in-law Norleen (Dale) Braukmann of Duluth, MN. Fr. Don has 16 nephews and nieces, 35 great nephews and nieces and 2 great great nieces.
Memorials are preferred to Holy Cross Church Cemetery of Butler, Minnesota. Mailing address:

The Archaeology of Ancestors: The Saxe/Goldstein Hypothesis Revisited
Ian Morris
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 December 2008, pp. 147-169
Since the mid-1980s, debates between competing schools of archaeological interpretation have become more theoretical and abstruse, moving away from confrontations over specific methods of analyzing our data. This article reopens arguments over one of the more controversial propositions of the New Archaeology - Saxe's claim that the emergence of formal cemeteries corresponds to the appearance of agnatic lineages monopolizing vital resources through inheritance. The hypothesis is examined in three ways: through a generalized ethnological model; through specific ethnographic data from Taiwan and Kenya; and through a historical comparison of Athens from 500 to 100 BC and Rome from 200 BC to AD 200. It is argued that all three methods lead to a similar conclusion, that many societies do indeed talk about the dead in the way the Saxe/Goldstein hypothesis maintains, but that in any specific instance the cemetery/property message may well be subverted by other arguments which the buriers are making.
Of Priestesses, Princes and Poor Relations: The Dead in the Royal Cemetery of Ur
Susan Pollock
Archaeological discoveries of dead individuals, usually in the form of burials, have frequently captured the imaginations of public and professional audiences alike. In addition to the allure of exotic artefacts and seemingly bizarre funeral rites, burials offer rich possibilities for investigating myriad aspects of past social, cultural and even individual life. This discussion focuses on one of the more renowned archaeological excavations of an ancient cemetery, the Royal Cemetery of Ur. Consideration of who was and who was not buried in the cemetery suggests that cemetery burial was the prerogative of those people who were closely attached to 'public' institutions. This leads to a number of observations on Sumerian treatment of the dead and attitudes toward death, as these can be approached from archaeological and textual sources.
Tools, Grammar and the Archaeology of Cognition
Thomas Wynn
Use of archaeological evidence in discussions of the origin and evolution of grammar has proved unconvincing largely because of undeveloped theoretical assumptions about the cognitive connection between language and tool behaviour. This paper examines the cognitive basis of tool use and tool making and concludes that there is no sound theoretical basis for inferring grammatical abilities from prehistoric stone tools. Our knowledge concerning the cognitive basis of tool behaviour can, however, be used to document evolutionary developments in hominid cognition. Analysis of early biface culture, for example, reveals a cognitive complexity greater than that demonstrable for the earlier Oldowan or for modern apes.
Biology and Behaviour in Human Evolution
Phyllis C. Lee
Of the diverse approaches to understanding patterns and processes in human evolution, a focus on the biology of behaviour using principles derived from the non-human primates may have some utility for archaeologists. This article seeks to outline some biologically-based areas that could prove fruitful in exploring the origins of human behaviour within the archaeological record. It attempts to initiate a dialogue between biologists, even with their limited understanding of the problems facing those working with human origins, and archaeologists, in the hope that this dialogue will move beyond a simple reductionist approach towards the goal of integrating behaviour into a more sophisticated biological perspective.

Proposal for Haast - Hollyford Highway & Te Anau self-esteem
We have just finished the Tunnel and Monorail battles, but there is a more controversial issue ahead – the proposed Haast-Hollyford Road. This is supported by many members of the local community, but I believe this support is based on misleading information provided by road promoters. A major reason to build the road is "increased income in local economies" (Ref. 1) however this is partly a wrong perception. I believe that local economies such as Te Anau and Manapouri would be hurt.
To me the 3 main issues here are:
Conservation - the main reason to oppose the road is conservation. To conserve means to protect, not to develop. We live in a nature paradise, one of the last few places like this in the World. We should cherish it, not bulldoze it.
Economy of the road - independent reviews provided by two roading engineers on behalf of FMC suggest that the road will not be economically viable (Ref. 2)
Damage to local tourism - If the road was built it would be detrimental to tourism in existing communities such as Te Anau and Manapouri (and also divert tourists from Wanaka, etc)
As an inbound travel agent who has worked in tourism business for more than 10 years, I would like to elaborate on point 3 above.
Imagine if you were an overseas tourist.
If you travel from the north via the West Coast, you would usually stay either in Franz Josef or in Fox Glacier. This is a must for any tourist operator running tours of the South Island. From the point of view of planning a tour, the next stop can't be Te Anau, simply because it would make it too long a day. So, as a tourist I would stay for the night in Haast or in Jackson Bay, or better still in Milford Sound. What next? It is only a 2-hour drive to Te Anau. Why should I stay there overnight while I can easily reach Queenstown or Invercargill? Similarly, if you are travelling in the opposite direction, why would you stay in Te Anau, when you could stay in Milford or carry on to Haast?
This would generate extra businesses for all places between Haast and Milford Sound, however existing tourists centres such as Te Anau and Manapouri would suffer.
As a travel agent I have to be pragmatic. If the road was build I am sure our individual clients and tours would use it. However, we might stay only one night or not at all in Te Anau (and drive directly to Queenstown). So far we do our best (if time allows) to accommodate our clients in Te Anau for two nights, so they can do a relaxing day trip to Milford and back. They love it both ways. For Te Anau and Manapouri the current situation is actually very favourable. Tourists are very likely to stay in Te Anau for two nights. If I was a local councillor I would be against the road if only for economic reasons and the prosperity of people living in Te Anau and Southland.
Quite a few locals think that big projects (brought from outside) such as the Haast-Hollyford Road would support local tourism business and "save Fiordland economy" (Ref. 1). Some people point out that there are many one-day trips from Queenstown and back, and that the Hast Hollyford road might change it.
But to me one of main problems is never-ending misleading promotion by big tourism businesses (and possibly with help of Tourism New Zealand) suggesting that Queenstown is the main hub for Fiordland.
It is up to Southland and Fiordland residents to get the right message to potential tourists who plan to visit New Zealand.
I believe that we can correct the message and spread the word that Te Anau and Manapouri are the real gateway to Fiordland and Milford Sound.
Having said that, it is a bit of a David vs. Goliath situation. Destination Fiordland with its very limited resources cannot afford to fight against big professional promotion of Destination Queenstown.

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?7hjwtd4c7sy3s8h
We have obtained independent cost assessments of the proposed road from two independent roading engineers, and both have estimated it will require at least $1 billion to construct it. It is fanciful to believe that toll revenue could cover the cost of capital, let alone meet annual maintenance costs. The current remediation costs for the present roads south to Haast and to Milford Sound hint at the costs likely to stem from periodic seismic, landslide and flood events for the proposed road. In short, the economics do not and cannot stack up.
Haast to Hollyford road project heads to its battleground Southland Times 2/6/2016
Haast to Milford Sound Road a step closer, NZ Herald 1/6/2016
...they concluded the true cost would be closer to $2 billion.
"There's a huge difference in cost. Our position has not changed (and) the road is uneconomic. One of the good things (from yesterday) is that it's getting put through an official process -- it won't meet the tests."

A Hokitika lobby group has taken its concerns over the proposed Haast-Hollyford Road proposal right to the top.
The Westland Ratepayers and Residents Association has written to Conservation Minister Nick Smith to ask for the Government's position on the viability of the suggested $220 million toll road.
Chairman Gray Eatwell, a Westland District Council candidate, said the letter addressed "widespread ratepayer concern" related to the ongoing costs of investigating the development.

When you lose your job, your first reaction may be to try to find the exact same job somewhere else. But first, pause for a moment.
Your desire to find the same job is totally natural, but it may not be a good strategy. Maybe that job isn't as in-demand as it once was, or maybe it doesn't allow you to use your skills to their full capacity.
Regardless of what the economic viability of your former career looks like, you're at a crossroads and have the opportunity to consider a new path. Before you default to the same one you were on before, take time to think about who you are, what type of work you value, and what else might be a good fit for you.
1. Think about peak work experiences in your life. The experiences can come from any work you've done—paid or unpaid, professional or from high school or college activities. A "peak" work experience is a time when you are fully engaged, when every cell in your body is alive and involved with the tasks at hand. Identify three peak work experiences and list each on a separate sheet of paper.
What were the core activities you were doing?
What people were with you? How did you interact with them?
How did you feel during this experience? Did your emotions change?
Was there an outcome? How did that resonate with you?
Are there common themes or features to your experiences?
Were you working alone or in groups?
Were you working with conceptual ideas or concrete materials?
List aspects that are the same and those that are different across experiences.
4. Discuss your experiences and your findings with a coach or friend to apply learning to your job search.
1. Think back on your life and make a list of the top five accomplishments you most enjoyed doing. This is about the process of achieving, rather than the achievement itself.
Why was I successful at accomplishing these achievements?
What made me uniquely able to succeed?
Why did I enjoy these accomplishments?
What skills did I bring to the experiences that were pure me?
Why was I able to accomplish this the way that I did?
3. Review each accomplishment and compile a list of all the skills you brought to these achievements.
If the exercises above led you back to the same career path, great. Now it's time to determine how in-demand that job is. But if they didn't, don't be afraid to start exploring what else is out there.

I'm sober. Not had a beer yet and this is why we're football fans and why as customers we are even more loyal than an Apple customer. In fact, I don't think there is any customer as loyal as a football fan. You wont find a bookmaker in the country that thinks we can win today but there are people all over the world sitting down discussing how it is possible, if we do this and do that.
But we have to expect a spanking today. If we go into this expecting a spanking and it doesn't happen, are you going to be disappointed. Okay, we might still lose but if we're not spanked, it's a bonus right?
And if we're not spanked and if we don't lose, then you're also going to be happy. So here it is; some would be happy to lose today as long as we don't get spanked. We're more loyal than Apple customers who went out and bought that phone when if you held it a certain way the phone didn't work or those that put the phone in their pocket and it bent. They got the phone fixed or replaced, but some would be happy with defeat, as long as we didn't get a spanking.
Now, I make a lot of reference to get spanked and maybe I need to sit down with someone and explore that, but maybe it's just that if I expect it and it doesn't happen, I'm happy. But that's from my days at school. I'm not going to be happy with defeat or a draw today, the only thing that will make me happy is three points.
And as our CEO recently told us, it doesn't take four seasons to make it happen and this is the managers third season. It's going to happen one day.
So, with just three hours to kick off, we're at that place where anything could happen, but lets have a look at a few key statistics, with a hat tip to the BBC.
Villa are vying to register successive home wins for the first time since March.
They have lost half of their last 60 home games in the Premier League and only averaged a point per game at Villa Park during that run (W15, D15, L30).
Their tally of 10 goals this season is the lowest in the top four divisions, and their lowest in the top flight after 16 matches.
Aston Villa have failed to score in half of their 16 matches this season; since Paul Lambert took charge in 2012, they have not managed a goal in 36 of their 92 Premier League fixtures - more than any other team.
Lambert's side have the same record as they did at this stage of last season: W5, D4, L7.
We'll have team news in a couple of hours or so by which time there is every chance I'll be very optimistic about today, but I think you all know why.

Everyone has a bad college experience that somehow involved tequila. (Go ahead, admit it, you have one too.) As a result, people can be hesitant about tequila later on in life. We run into this situation all the time, and have developed a process for re-introducing people to tequila.
Don't just hand them a shot glass with tequila – this will surely bring nasty college flashbacks. This is exactly what you want to avoid. Skip the salt and the lime, this isn't a race.
Instead, create a unique experience. Slow down, get nice glassware, and encourage them to sip it. If possible, have a few different types of tequila available so they can see that all tequilas are definitely not the same. Treat the tequila as you would wine, and you're taking a good first step toward a happy re-introduction.
The more you know about something, the more you can really get into it. Study up on the tequila basics so you can explain what makes it different from vodka, gin, or whiskey.
Also be ready to dispel some of the tequila myths out there – like tequila being made from a cactus (it isn't), or that each bottle of tequila contains a worm (it doesn't), or that you are required to eat the non-existent worm (you aren't).
Give them something of high quality, because chances are that it will taste like something they've never had before. We've been down this road countless times, and our tequila conversion success rate is remarkably high mostly because we carefully select what they will be tasting.
It's probably a safe bet to start with some aged tequilas, like the Casa Noble Reposado, Excellia Reposado, or Fortaleza Añejo. (Our favorite conversion tools!) As soon as your friends smell these tequilas, they will already know that they're in for a much different experience.
Which are your favorite "conversion tequilas?" Please share with us by leaving a comment below.
I've had a lot of luck with Partida Anejo. I explain it's aged in old Jack Daniel's barrels which is at least familiar to them. Once they smell it and get the hints of vanilla they're suitably prepped for the tasting. Now if only it was available in Canada.
Siete Leguas Anejo is a good conversion drink as well.
There are many tequila brands in the market, but the ones to try are the Ultra-Premium Artisanal ones coming from small batch distilleries, make sure that they are 100% Agave and they have that smooth non-burning taste.
We only like to import these kinds of tequila brands at our company.
I like Demetrio Anejo $30 or Milagro Barrel Select.
Denmark – where our 100% Agave only webshop is located, is rather new territory for good tequila. The market is dominated by Sierra, but introducing Casa Noble does make a difference. Our customers usually come back and have become rather enthusiatic when they discover that tequila can actually taste nice and not leave you with a headache.
This is a really nice site BTW with lots of good info. Kudos!
I have this problem with all my friends. I say Tequila and they think shot. I tell me I won't spend money on Jose Cuervo AKA Gasoline (Unless Reserva De la Familia). Sip and relax. They try the good tequila and they become fanatics. WOOO HOOO. I just made all these people Tequila drinkers. Too bad Penca Azul is not in the market anymore. I loved that tequila.


Few sellers consider their neighbor's home when going to sell their own home. They're too busy getting their own home clean, painted, landscaped and ready to hit the market. But if your neighbor's home is lacking in curb appeal or there's an issue with the property line, your neighbors can impact the sale of your property. The good news is there are a few things you can do to help the situation if you put in the work ahead of time. The first thing you can do is develop a good relationship with your neighbor. See the short list of tips below and then listen to the show for more detailed advice from Dave and Robert!
Bring the neighbors food! Whether you're introducing yourself for the first time or you just haven't talked to them in a while, cookies, fresh veggies, or homebaked bread can break the ice with your neighbors.
Good neighbors rarely gossip. Don't get sucked into gossip, move the conversation on to something else.
Exchange phone numbers with your neighbors. It's almost guaranteed that you will need your neighbor's phone number at some point!
Help out before you're asked! If you see that your neighbor struggles to mow the lawn in the summer heat, ask when it'd be best to stop by with your riding lawn mower. Or if they are in need of a babysitter, ask them when you can help out!
Be tidy! An untidy neighbor can make it hard to sell your home, don't be that untidy neighbor yourself!
Mow the lawn! This goes along with being tidy. A mowed lawn goes a long way in helping not only your curb appeal, but your neighbor's curb appeal!
Good neighbors communicate. If you see that your neighbor's fence is starting to wobble, communicate with them before it falls over and offer to help fix it! Establishing open communication will go a long way when you go to sell your home.
2. Keep your neighbors in the loop. If you plan to sell your home in the future, give your neighbors a heads up before it hits the market. If you think you'll need their help in any way during the selling process, it will be easier to approach them if they know the situation ahead of time.
With all the excitement of a new home, it's easy to forget small tasks that need to be done before you move in. Be sure to check out this ultimate moving checklist to help you out! Putting in some extra preparation before the big day will make the process smooth and prevent undue stress. See the list below and listen to the show for extra details and tips from Dave and Robert.
Make a moving day schedule for your whole family (don't forget your pets!).
Plan and stick to a moving budget.
Hire the right moving company, or get the right people to help you.
Remember not to establish new lines of credit, like purchasing a car or all new furniture for your new home. This could interfere with your new home's financing and prevent closing!
Turn on the utilities ahead of time. Call and establish electricity, water, etc. in your name.
Be sure to set-up or transfer your internet and cable service ahead of time.
Order an energy audit on your new home to see if there is any room for savings once you move in.
Make sure to complete any needed repairs before you move, no matter how small!
Do a deep clean. It's never easier to do then when your new home is empty.
Replace the home's locks and put an extra key in a lockbox.
Plan and do any major renovations.
Consider purchasing a home warranty to cover future home repairs.
Buy a fire extinguisher for every level of the home, kitchen and garage.
Create a fire escape plan with your family.
Get to know your new home, including where your circuit breaker and water main shut off is located.
Label your home's electrical panel. This will make things so much easier for you when you need to use it!
Childproof your new home before moving in!
Don't forget to update your address with the postal service and any online billing services you use.
Make sure to update friends and family with your new address!
When you think of your dream yard it might be spilling with flowers and lush green grass, but the reality of your current yard doesn't quite match. If you're thinking of boosting up your curb appeal with new landscaping, listen to this week's show for tips on planning your new yard plus how to keep it looking beautiful.
Put heaps of love and care into your lawn. Lush, green grass is the foundation of any beautiful yard. Plus taking care of your lawn will get you a whopping 303% ROI when you go to sell!
Plant with a plan! It's hard to envision your lawn 5 to 10 years from now, but planting your yard with a plan will keep your yard from turning into a jungle over the years! Research the plants that you're choosing and create a map of how to plant them. If this seems overwhelming, you can always hire a landscape architect to help you map out your landscaping so that everything will mesh together beautifully!
Make sure to find your hardiness zone before planting. Hardiness zones will tell you which plants will thrive in your geographical location. Checking your zone will help you pick plants that will flourish.
Don't go overboard with your favorite flower. Planting only one type of flower will only give you a short time of beautiful blooms. Pick plants that bloom during all four seasons so you always have a pop of color in your yard.
Don't plant shrubs, trees or flowers too close together. They may look far apart when you first plant them but remember they will grow! Don't plant them so that they become overcrowded once they grow into their full size.
Water correctly, especially in the summer! Water your plants less often, but deeply. A deep soak will allow the water to soak into the roots instead of just running off and evaporating. Remember to water in the early morning or the evening for the best results!
Don't let dead plants linger! Nothing wreaks curb appeal like dead plants and overgrown weeds. Keep up with your yard maintenance to reap the ROI of the hard work you put into your landscaping.

Why Shen Loves it: A seductive, hand made blend of arousing vetiver, heart opening rose, calming sandalwood, intoxicating citrus & warm cedarwood. N ° 5 is the number of manifestation. It is free spirited and creative. The essence of N ° 5 aligns with freedom to pursue that which fills your heart with passion and purpose.
Shen Recommends: We love this scent for both men and women! Apply a small amount daily.


Picture the scene: You're in a quiet place; a forest. The grass is green, the sky a perfect shade of blue. It's sunny; the temperature is hovering somewhere near perfect and a gentle breeze wafts by. You look at the pretty flowers – bend down to reach one... then, BAM!
No, we're not talking about Bambi versus Godzilla – though we do offer Marv Newland a healthy round of applause. What's we're talking about is the Lexus GS Hybrid. Or, more specifically, the car's Italian advertising campaign as seen in the video below.
Lexus claims its 2013 GS 450h can accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 5.6 seconds, courtesy of its 3.5-liter V6 engine and electric motor hybrid powertrain that puts out a combined 338 horsepower. Combine that level of thrust with rear-wheel drive and a professional driver and you've got yourself some fun at the race track.
Lexus decided to put this combination together, mixing in a blend of new-car shoppers to see what effect its hybrid sedan had on the heart. Scroll down below to watch it all unfold.
Tip: Thanks for the tip, Massimo!

=head1 NAME

Module::Build::Platform::MacOS - Builder class for MacOS platforms

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The sole purpose of this module is to inherit from
C<Module::Build::Base> and override a few methods.  Please see
L<Module::Build> for the docs.

=head2 Overridden Methods

=over 4

=item new()

MacPerl doesn't define $Config{sitelib} or $Config{sitearch} for some
reason, but $Config{installsitelib} and $Config{installsitearch} are
there.  So we copy the install variables to the other location

=item make_executable()

On MacOS we set the file type and creator to MacPerl so it will run
with a double-click.

=item dispatch()

Because there's no easy way to say "./Build test" on MacOS, if
dispatch is called with no arguments and no @ARGV a dialog box will
pop up asking what action to take and any extra arguments.

Default action is "test".

=item ACTION_realclean()

Need to unlock the Build program before deleting.

Q: SQL Timeout via .NET Client but no timeout when same sql executed directly against database We have an intermittent issue whereby our web app locks up when executing a specific stored procedure. When this happens, the same stored procedure using the same user/pass can be executed fine from SSMS but causes the web app to hang. The only way to fix it is to drop and recreate the stored procedure.
To rule out nested transactions etc I extracted calling the stored proc to a console application (still using the .NET SQL Client) and that also hangs.
I checked in SQL SQL Activity Monitor when this happens and there were no blocking transactions. Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks

We encourage our students to consider study abroad in a German-speaking program and work closely with them in order to find a good fit. We are currently working primarily with two programs: Tufts' Junior Year in Tübingen and Wayne State's Junior Year in Munich. Both of these are well-established programs that allow our students the flexibility and give them the guidance necessary to succeeding in study abroad. Students may choose to go for the full year or for the spring semester. The programs offer enrollment in courses at the Eberhard-Karls-Universität and the Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität respectively, coupled with advising, language support, organized housing, and all other logistical components necessary to allow you to thrive in a new environment.
In general, applicants must reach a minimum level of the equivalent of four to five semesters of German study in the College curriculum in order to qualify for study in Germany. You should speak to your advisor about your plans as early as possible, so that we can make sure to identify your preferred program and prepare application materials.
While many of our students who study in Germany are German majors or minors, we also support students with other majors who have attainted the necessary language skills. We can advise you on what kinds of courses will count at Wellesley and the process you would follow in order to transfer credits earned abroad. Wellesley financial aid can be used to study abroad, meaning that these programs are attainable to all students at the College.
NOTE: Inquiries regarding study abroad programs or our January-in-Berlin program may be directed to Faculty Director Thomas Nolden.

While its reputation as a victim of war precedes it, Hiroshima is a dynamic city on the rise
Hiroshima is a buzzing metropolis with a population pushing 1.2 million. If you were dropped there without any knowledge of its history, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's been developing for years like any other modern city. Sadly, since August 1945, the name Hiroshima has been synonymous with war and devastation. An attack by American armed forces towards the end of World War II transformed the city forever. Over 100,000 people were killed and thousands more injured. It was the first city to be targeted with a nuclear weapon. Today, Hiroshima respects its past, yet continues to focus on its future. Monuments around the city and remnants from the bomb act as messages of strength and promote peace.
The most recognisable monument in Hiroshima is Genbaku, or the Atomic Bomb Dome. Despite being directly below where the bomb exploded, the building managed to withstand the blast. Today, the shell sits by the meandering Motoyasu River with information displayed around the perimeter. Evening is a good time to visit, when it's illuminated and a hush has fallen across the city.

A short walk across the river is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, an area which was once the city's economic centre. Instead of rebuilding after the bombing, the government decided to prohibit the development and turned the area into a memorial park where visitors could come and reflect. There are numerous touching tributes to the victims throughout the grounds, including the Children's Monument and the Pond of Peace, each adorned with flowers and colourful paper cranes. Stroll past the main cenotaph to find the entrance. While confronting, details about the bomb, stories of survivors and various items retrieved in the aftermath, are both interesting and comforting.
Children's Peace Monument serves to honour Sadako Sasaki and the hundreds of victims of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, Japan.
Beyond memorials, Hiroshima Castle has been transformed into a museum showcasing Samurai artifacts and information about ancient culture. It still resembles traditional Japanese architectural style, favouring wood, fusuma doors and tatami covered floors.

Just ten minutes walk away sits a centuries-old (often overlooked) hidden gem. Shukkeien Garden is a stunning example of traditional Japanese horticulture, brimming with flora and a freshwater lake filled with koi. The name translates to 'shrunken-scenery garden' and it's easy to see why. Wander the grounds and take in the immaculate detail which designer, Ueda Soko, put into every inch of its construction (we love the hill that resembles Mount Fuji and the miniature bamboo forest). Due to its proximity to the bomb's hypocentre, much of the garden was destroyed. Only one Gingko tree survived and its seeds have been sent around the globe in an appeal for world peace.
