Q: Batch file print files with specific extensions I am completely new to batch file programming, so i am a bit lost here, anyway is it posible to do this ?
i have in c:\myfolder
txt files, pdf, xls, bat, and other. I would like to have a loop to identify  all the files that are not pdf, or tif, or bat, and in that case I would run a command to convert that file to pdf, with this command :
C:\PDFCreator\PDFCreator.exe /PrintFile="C:\myFolder\theFileNameToConvert"

the conversion might take about 10 second up to 20 in case of bigger files
thanks
Carlos

A: for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d *') do if /i "%%~xa" neq ".pdf" if /i "%%~xa" neq ".tif" if /i "%%~xa" neq ".bat" C:\PDFCreator\PDFCreator.exe /PrintFile="C:\myFolder\%%~na"

should do what you want - provided your C:\PDFCreator\PDFCreator.exe command is correct - it appears to specify the printfile but not the source file.
The for /f reads each line of dir /b /a-d (directory list, basic [filenames only] without directory names) and assigns each in turn to the meatvariable %%a. %%~xa means the extension, so the three cascaded ifs mean if (/i = case-insensitive) the extension for the file "%%a" is NotEQual to potatoes then do the next test. Gets through all of the NotEQual testss, then execute the PDFCreator command, using %%~na - the name-part only of the file %%a.

A: From the command line, assuming current directory is `"c:\myFolder":
for /f "eol=: delims=" %F in ('dir /b /a-d^|findstr /live ".pdf .tif .bat"') do C:\PDFCreator\PDFCreator.exe /PrintFile="%F"

Double the percents if in a batch file: (I've also formatted the code across multiple lines for easier viewing)
@echo off
pushd "c:\myFolder"
for /f "eol=: delims=" %%F in (
  'dir /b /a-d^|findstr /live ".pdf .tif .bat"'
) do C:\PDFCreator\PDFCreator.exe /PrintFile="%%F"
popd

The Globalization of the NWA
It wasn't long ago, when the influence of the National Wrestling Alliance only went as far as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. With all the talk of how the NWA has grown leaps and bounds in the past few years, very little is spoken about the International Expansion of the NWA. Here's a break down of the growth of the NWA in the past 5 Years.
NWA Mid-Atlantic used a mix of the their current roster and an expanded roster that included Dr. Death Steve Williams and Terry Taylor to promote a series of events in the People's Republic of China.
NWA Mid-Atlantic made another expedition to Asia, this time to Korea. This show was packed with Superstars; Sting, Billy Gunn, Dusty Rhodes, Buff Bagwell, Terry Taylor, Raven, DDP, AJ Styles and then Worlds Champion Jeff Jarret.
NWA Championship Wrestling From Florida begin to sanction Korea's World Wrestling Alliance, creating NWA South Korea.
NWA Pro Wrestling enter a partnership with Explosive Pro Wrestling in Perth and Adelaide. The partnership includes NWA Sanctioning of NWA Australia and a talent exchange.
NWA Pro tours Australia with NWA Australia. Claudio Castagnoli, and Rocky Romero join the Australian roster to determine an Australian National Champion. Plus a World Tag Team defense of then champions, The Real American Heroes. And a main event that saw Sean Waltman wrestle Bryan Danielson.
David Marquez, with Blue Demon Jr. announces the creation of a new NWA member in Mexico.
New Japan Pro Wrestling rejoins the National Wrestling Alliance.
NWA Pro announced its sanctioning of International Catch Wrestling Association as NWA France.

The mountain was 800 m high and the road had maximum steepness of 14 %, which set certain demands for the transport planning and equipment. Also the weights and dimensions made this project very demanding. The heaviest part was a nacelle, with weight of 127 tons and the longest parts, the blades, were 49,5 meters long. Cargo origin was Poland for the blades and Finland for the rest of the cargo.
Project was completed on door-to-door basis, using charter vessels, barges and pontoon and truck transports.


This week on the Show we have Jacqui Saldana the amazing human behind Baby Boy Bakery and Baby Boy Bakery Kids. A space that was born to help parents find ways to create and keep memories with their kids. She talks to us about her daily routine, and what drives her passion for what she does.

Michael Velo (22 May 1851 – November 1929) was a Norwegian businessperson and politician for the Coalition Party.

Born in Jevnaker as a son of farmers Erik Olsen Velo and Karen Olsdatter, he graduated from Asker Seminary in 1869 and worked as a teacher until 1882. He then settled in Larvik to become a businessman. He was the manager of Larvik Potetmelfabrikk from 1898.

He was a member of Larvik city council from 1889 to 1909, serving eight years as mayor. He was elected to the Parliament of Norway in 1906, representing the urban constituency of Larvik og Sandefjord. With Julius Christensen as running mate, he edged out the Social Democratic candidate and two Liberal candidates (one of these was a totallist). He served only one term. He was also a deputy member from 1895 to 1897 and 1903 to 1906.

Velo was also a board member of Norges Brandkasse and the Bank of Norway branch in Larvik from 1902 to 1927. He chaired Larvik handelsstands forening in 1890–1891 and 1903–1904, and became an honorary member here in 1927. He died in November 1929.

Trump again touts N. Korea's economic potential
U.S. President Donald Trump again touted North Korea's "tremendous" economic potential on Monday, indicating his commitment to continuing denuclearization talks with the regime.
At a press conference in Biarritz, France, Trump said he and his wife, Melania, have gotten to know North Korean leader Kim Jong-un "extremely well."
"I think North Korea has tremendous economic potential. I think Kim Jong-un sees that," he said in the joint presser with French President Emmanuel Macron at the conclusion of a Group of Seven summit.
Trump appeared to be alluding to the sanctions relief and other economic concessions Washington would offer if Pyongyang agreed to dismantle its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
He especially noted North Korea's geographical location between China, Russia and South Korea, saying that barring flying the only way to reach the South is through the North.
Talks between Washington and Pyongyang have stalled since Trump and Kim's second summit in Vietnam in February ended without a deal.
But Trump has continued to express confidence in the North Korean leader, dismissing the regime's recent short-range ballistic missile tests as unimportant.
Hours earlier Trump made similar remarks as he discussed Iran's potential.
"And you know who else has great potential? North Korea. Kim Jong-un," he said. "And I don't think North Korea wants to blow it. Because if they blow it, it won't be good."
Asked about the possibility of another meeting with Kim, Trump said Sunday that they will "probably have one."

A little less earnest, a little more flavorful and luxurious — L.A.'s macrobiotic restaurants are going mainstream.
All Windexing aside, spring is here and a veritable explosion of macrobiotic restaurants in the last year has put its stamp on the dining scene in Los Angeles. None is serving daikon juice, though you will find a refreshing kale lemonade at the 2-month-old Beverly Hills outpost of M Café de Chaya. For the spring menu at Seed Kitchen, chef-owner Eric Lechasseur is planning a soba noodle salad with daikon sprouts, wakame seaweed and fresh greens. Down the street from Seed, at J's Kitchen — the vegan-macrobiotic import from Japan that opened in January — the deli case features a revolving cast of salads and daily bento box specials such as nut-crusted portobello with sautéed vegetables.
What was once known as "the brown rice diet" — largely based on whole grains, vegetables and legumes — is making a comeback, propelled by a celebrity following, a slew of hip cafes and at least a few classically trained chefs steeped in the ways of macrobiotics who are making dishes that appeal to a wider audience.
If macrobiotics seems as if it suddenly has a split personality that switches from earnest (plenty of quinoa and hijiki seaweed) to luxuriously clement (cupcakes with tofu butter cream), it also means there's something for nearly everyone — including the occasional black bean burger with yam fries or several-layer dairy-free chocolate cake.
The macrobiotic dining options run the gamut from the corner takeout spot such as J's Kitchen to year-old Shojin in Little Tokyo, which has some fine-dining touches with its white tablecloths and lighting that is date-night low. The sleek, stylish M Cafés were envisioned as international cafes/delis.
"The old-school macrobiotic plate was a big pile of grains with a little vegetables and beans," Gross says. "It was really in a rut." What he calls his "progressive macrobiotic repertoire" includes vivid salads such as a quinoa salad that's bright red from beets, a sprouted quinoa tabbouleh, and chickpeas with dandelion greens and celery in a creamy lemon-tahini dressing. Brown rice sushi is rolled with fresh vegetables or salmon, and panini are stacked with fillings such as sun-dried tomatoes, roasted peppers and salami made with seitan (wheat gluten).
Some of the guiding principles of macrobiotics have come to be embraced through various food trends. Eating locally, seasonally and lower on the food chain as well as thoughtful consideration of one's food choices are all practices that are integral to macrobiotics.
The tricky part about macrobiotics is that the underlying principle dictates that the components of a meal should create balance, based on yin and yang — the two opposing forces that, according to Chinese philosophy, govern all natural phenomena. Knowing yin (such as vegetables) from yang (grains, for example) requires some advisement.
The teachings of George Ohsawa, who moved to the U.S. from Japan in the '50s, and later his student Michio Kushi encouraged macrobiotics as a way of life. In 1978, Kushi and his wife, Aveline, opened the Kushi Institute — macrobiotics headquarters in the U.S. — in Beckett, Mass., and later established the chain of Erewhon Natural Food markets.
Followers of macrobiotics aim to become in tune with the specific ways in which food affects the body — whatever "Windexing" properties daikon might have, for example.
Sanam Shahrokhinia, a registered dietitian at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, points out that most fruits and vegetables, because of their phytonutrients, will benefit the liver. "It's not specific to one particular vegetable," she says.
Gross says that this spring is his first big push to link the menu to the seasons. "The energy of the season starts to lift out of stagnation. The idea is to eat food such as new shoots, sprouts, spring vegetables, new herbs." It's a subtle diner education, he says.
Every Tuesday evening, Suzuki or one of her friends holds court at the cafe's communal table, discussing topics such as how vegetables are categorized in the macrobiotic diet — root vegetables such as carrots and burdock, "ground" vegetables such as squash and rutabaga, and leafy vegetables such as kale and parsley.
Lechasseur, a classically trained chef, began cooking macrobiotically for Suzuki when she was sick, then for celebrities such as Paltrow and Madonna who wanted to eat healthfully, then for M Café, and published a macrobiotic dessert cookbook titled "Love, Eric." (Suzuki will be publishing a cookbook, "Love, Sanae," this summer.) At Seed Kitchen, his menu includes a Southwest veggie burger with crisp yam fries and a Mango Tango bowl that includes a deliciously crisp egg roll filled with vegetables and seitan. The pastry case is lined with his pristine desserts.
"My dream is to someday open a macrobiotic bistro" or fine dining restaurant, he says.
That may not be far off, Suzuki says. Imagine "getting all dressed up" and going out to eat a tasting menu's worth of macrobiotic food.


Summertime can be a very busy time of year, and many of us could use a bit more energy just to get through the day. Whether you are training for your next big sporting event, working long hours, or driving across the country on vacation; it's nice to have extra energy when you need it. And how about staying mentally sharp? Extra energy is no good if you can't stay mentally focused. This is your guide to more energy now without the crash later.
Before we start talking about energy enhancing products, let's take a look at exactly what is going on when you become fatigued. To make a long story short, there could be many different problems associated with fatigue. For example, not getting enough rest or eating the wrong foods may cause you to feel fatigued. Since your body prefers to work in a synchronized fashion, when one or more bodily systems slow down, you feel the effects of fatigue.
Therefore, the philosophy of any good energy enhancing product is to strengthen and balance the body, so that it may continue to work in a synchronized fashion. Some energy products may cause you to become over-stimulated , which can eventually leave you even weaker than you were before you started taking that product. It is wise to avoid such products, as they may do more harm than good in the long run. For example, too much sugar and/or caffeine might actually deplete your body of the nutrients it needs to stay balanced and energized.
Another amino acid worth mentioning is Glutamine, which may help speed workout recovery and ease the effects of stress.
The B complex vitamins are also very important when it comes to improving and maintaining your energy levels. For example, it has been said that vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 help transport oxygen in the blood. 4 The B vitamins are also involved in the production of nuerotransmitters, and may work in conjunction with the amino acids. 4 Now get out there and have some fun!

Reds defeat Monaco to reach EuroLeague Final 4
[Intime]
Olympiacos defeated Monaco in Piraeus on Wednesday and came from behind to steal the last ticket to EuroLeague Final 4.
The Reds won 94-88 and won the Best 5 Series 3-2 in front of a large crowd at the Peace and Friendship Stadium.
After a cautious first quarter ending 13-11 in favor of visitors, 65 points continued between the two teams, and Monaco entered the locker room seven points away (48-41).
Monaco could have extended its lead to 11 points in the second period, but Olympiacos had already begun its comeback with a series of long-range shots and Monaco turnovers.
The Greeks took the lead for the first time four minutes before the end of the third quarter (56-55), but soon abandoned it, and Monaco gained a four-point advantage by the end of the period (70-66). I have recovered.
Olympiacos turned things around again, leading 6 (89-83) in less than three minutes and there was no way back to Monaco.
Shaquielle McKissic increased the Reds pace with 18 points, Thomas Walkup with 17 points and Tyler Dorsey with 16 points.
The four-year long wait has ended as Olympiacos will play in the Final Four in Belgrade later this month (May 19-21).

Get To Know Your Child's teacher – This should be your first and most important step going forward. Teachers want their students to succeed but in most cases the deck is stacked against them. Standardized testing, rigid curriculum, cost cuts, large class sizes, and lack of support are all challenges that teachers face every day.
Getting to know your child's teacher gives you and your child an advantage. It lets the teacher know you are involved and concerned about your child. You can pass on valuable information – such as your child's different learning styles and issues they may be having that the teacher is not aware of.
Scheduling a face to face meeting with your child's new teacher each year should be a priority. Call and find a time that is good for them. Dropping in or trying to discuss your child at the end of a school day is usually frustrating and not successful as the teacher needs a clear head and schedule to absorb and address your concerns.
Come Prepared – Make the most of any meetings you have with teachers by being prepared. Create a list of the issues you want to address and have an idea of what outcomes you would like to see. It shows you are proactive and, if you offer solutions instead of just a whole bunch of problems, you are more likely to get what you want.
If your child is having difficulty in school because of their preferred learning style or multiple intelligence, look for solutions that are easy to implement in the classroom. See if there is any flexibility in how projects are done.
If your child is an auditory learner, see if they can do a presentation as opposed to a written report. If they are Kinesthetic see if they can get up and stretch from time to time. Incorporating stretching exercises, even for a few minutes at a time throughout the day, makes all students learn better. If your student is visual, practice good note taking skills at home and have kids write down any instructions they receive verbally. This will help them process the task at hand.
Offer Assistance – If there are any ways you can get involved, teachers are generally very grateful for the help. Does your child's class have parent helpers? Sign up!
See if there is any material the teacher needs that you (or a parent association, or community member) could help provide. There are lots of free resources out there that teachers don't have the time to track down. Many teachers operate on a tight budget, and any "extra" things such as art supplies or teaching aids that do cater to other learning styles are usually bought out of the teacher's own pocket. It gets expensive to be a good teacher.
If there is a skill you have that you can share that might benefit the students, see if you can come in and teach a lesson. If your child is Kinesthetic you could teach a quick lessons on exercises you can do while sitting in their seats (look up instructions for exercises to do while flying for ideas). This wold be great for students who have to be active while they are learning.
Find Out What You Can Do At Home – Ask your teacher for suggestions on ways you can help your child learn better at home. See if they can recommend any extra resources for you. It might take your child a little longer to finish their homework if you have to present it in a way that fits their learning style but it is worth it!

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, Begotten of the Father before all ages, Light of Light, True God of True God, Begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made:
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man;
And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;
And the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures;
And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father;
And He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke by the Prophets;
And I believe in One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins.
I look for the Resurrection of the dead,
And the Life of the age to come. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
The Faith Once Delivered to the Saints
The Holy and Sacred Metropolitan Synod of Patristic Calendar of the GOC Church Hellas, in full, conscious, and ostensible act, belongs to the Genuine Eastern Orthodox Church (the Old Calendar Orthodoxy). Our Holy Synod, accepts, implements and preaches only whatever was delivered to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church by the Holy Apostles, and the God-bearing Fathers, through the Holy Ecumenical and the Local Councils, as they included in the "Sacred Pedalion" (the "Rudder of the Church"). We remain faithful and dedicated, by the grace of the Holy Trinity, to the one tradition of the God-bearing fathers and have and hold and preserve the Faith which was once delivered unto the saints. (Jude 1:3).
We also believe in what was decided in all of the pan-orthodox synods, thus condemning both the heresy of ecumenism and the adoption of new calendar which was invented by the popes to substitute the genuine Julian calendar, which was approved by the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea,and has never, but Ecumenical Council, been repudiated. We practice and follow the calendar of the Holy Saints, Martyrs and faithful who have preserved the Faith of Christ's Church through the generations.
Holy Sacraments
The sacraments in the Orthodox Church are called the "Holy Mysteries." Seven actions of Grace are generally considered to be sacraments: baptism, chrismation, holy eucharist, confession and penance, matrimony, holy orders and holy unction (annointing of the sick).
Enumerating the sacraments is a Roman Catholic innovation and is not an ancient practice of the Church and, in many ways, it tends to be misleading since it appears that there are just seven specific rites which are "sacraments" and that all other aspects of the life of the Church are essentially different from these particular actions. The more ancient and traditional practice of the Orthodox Church is to consider everything which is in and of the Church as sacramental or mystical.
Holy Scripture and Holy Tradition
Orthodoxy believes that the bible is the sacred and divinely inspired revelation of God to human history. The Orthodox faith and devotion are firmly rooted in scripture. There is no worship service in the Orthodox Church which does not include bible readings from both the Old and New Testaments.
The source of the New Testament goes beyond the apostolic authorship. Christ Himself is the good teacher, and He is the 'Word of God'. The teachings of the Church are embodied in the Life of Christ. Jesus himself left no writings of His own. What He gave us was His life, and a lifestyle known simply as, 'The Way'. He also formed a Church headed by the Apostles, making a new covenant, sealed by His last and most precious gift, the Holy Spirit. The Spirit speaks through the Word, but is alive and active in Christ's followers; the Church.
However, it is historical fact that early Christians had only limited access to bibles until the invention of the printing press in 1493. The source of their unity and faith in the centuries before bibles were available was the Oral Tradition. In fact, until a Council of the Orthodox Church in 397 AD, there was not even an accepted set of writings that Christians agreed constituted the Holy Scripture. Remember also, early Christians worshipped Christ and practice the Faith of the Apostles for decades before the books of the New Testament were even written. Those first Christians worshipped and sustained the Faith based on Apostolic Tradition. In 2 Thess. 2:15, the Apostle Paul exhorts the Thessalonians: "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us." Remember as St. John writes in his Gospel ""Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book." Are we then to ignore those things that the Apostles taught by word of mouth, but di dnot write? God Forbid! Tradition is 'The Way' of life, based on Christ's teachings and sayings, and handed down from the Apostles and their successors. Orthodoxy observes strictly this traditional way of life. Scripture is not open to individual interpretation. It is understood by the Holy Spirit in the Living Tradition of the Church. Scripture compliments and strengthens Tradition, and likewise, Scripture requires the dynamic embodiment of Tradition, where the Spirit thrives.
The Orthodox Church does not have a supreme leader, such as the pope in the Roman church. In the Orthodox church, each bishop is responsible for the care of their diocese and bishops may not interfere in the affairs of another bishop's diocese. All bishops are of equal rank. Bishops in a jurisdiction form a Holy Synod, and one Bishop may preside over the Synod in an administrative role and act as a spokesman for the jurisdiction. Yet even that primate is a ruling bishop only within the boundaries of his diocese.
Intercommunion
Our Holy Synod is in communion with the Genuine Orthodox Church of Russia, under Patriarch Rafael and the Synod of Milan under Metropolitan Evloghios. While we sorrow for the departure of world Orthodox jurisdictions into ecumenism, and pray for their return to the true Faith, because they do not hold the same Faith, we are not in communion with those jurisdictions.

The Councillors
Glyn Tarell
Llanspyddid
Community What's On
Churches & Parishes
The community of Glyn Tarell occupies some 24 square miles (63 kilometres), either side of the Afon Tarell, in the Brecon Beacons National Park, just South of Brecon. The population was 575 in 2005, with an electorate of 520, and a council of 8 Councillors.
The land ranges in height from 459ft (140m) in the Usk Valley East of Llanspyddid to 2906ft (886m) at Pen y Fan, the highest peak in Southern Britain. Other summits in the area include Corn Du at 2863ft (873m; Fan Fawr at 2408ft (734m; and Fan Frynach at 2064ft (629m).

The Tai'r Bull Inn
Penyfan from Mynydd Illtyd
The area includes the villages of Libanus and Llanspyddid. There is one church: St Cattwg in Llanspyddid (now closed), plus Libanus URC Chapel (from which Libanus derives it's name). The Chapel has now changed its appearance considerably due to works to make it usable both as a Chapel and a Community Centre. This should be of great value to Libanus as the village lost it's previous Community Hall when the village school was closed some years ago.On Mynydd Illtyd, is the site of St Illtyd's Church (now demolished), the churchyard of which is believed to occupy a pre-Christian site. Nearby is Bedd Gwyl Illtyd, the reputed burial place of St Illtyd. A vigil used to be kept there on the eve of St Illtyd's Feastday. Also, on Mynydd Illtyd is the Brecon Beacons National Park Visitor Centre, generally known as the Mountain Centre, which is a considerable tourist attraction.The community also has one public house called the Tai'r Bull Inn.

Introductions took place round the table and after discussion it was agreed that HIE would be an appropriate organisation to chair the group, SM confirmed he was happy to take this on.
It was agreed that the main aim of the group is to ensure that the local community is kept fully up to date with activities and progress related to the proposed tidal array project at Kyle Rhea.
The group will also provide a forum for the local community to provide feedback to the developer, and an opportunity to explore local benefits that come from the development of the project. The group is not part of the formal planning process – further public meetings will be hosted by the developer so that input into the planning process can take place.
The membership of the group was discussed and it was agreed that the relevant local organisations were represented round the table.
It was agreed that, to keep the group focussed, each local organisation would be represented by one individual at the meetings. It was felt that the Kylerhea community may be underrepresented so two representatives from Kylerhea was felt to be appropriate. AL did acknowledge a potential conflict of interest in that he is undertaking professional survey work related to the proposed project.
It was felt that membership of the group should be limited to representatives of local organisations rather than extending it to also include interested individuals. However discussion would take place regarding how future meetings might enable individual input and questions.
The community liaison group will engage with developers who have obtained an agreement for lease from the Crown Estate.
It was suggested that it may be worth having representation for the recreational sailing community locally. JK will contact RYA and local sailing contacts to discuss possible involvement.
It was agreed that inshore fishing interests would be dealt with through engagement with a Fisheries Liaison Officer employed by SeaGeneration (Kyle Rhea) Ltd. JK will follow this up and progress reviewed at each liaison group meeting.
The methods of ensuring information is effectively disseminated was discussed and it was agreed that a website would be the most accessible method of making info available. EM has proposed a Community Portal which could contain information on all activities of interest in the immediate area to be used by the Community Council, the Development Trust, the Skye Ferry Company etc. It was agreed that this may be a suitable place to hold information on the Liaison Group and the proposed tidal energy project.
EM agreed to produce a summary note of the discussions at each meeting which would be made publically available.
It was agreed that SeaGeneration (Kyle Rhea) Ltd would provide a briefing document providing an update of the work that has been carried out over the last period, highlight any key issues that have come up, and give an indication of work planned for the near future. The briefing document would accompany a note of the discussions held for each Liaison Group meeting.
Hard copies of all meeting notes and accompanying briefing documents will also be made available at locations to be agreed including from the Local Development Officer EM directly.
A press release will be made to highlight the formation of the group.
It was agreed that at this stage meetings every 3 months would be sufficient. Hence the next Liaison Group meeting will be held in February 2012. This will be under continual review.
The location of the meetings was discussed and it was agreed that this should be rotated due to the distances involved, with the next meeting to be held somewhere equi-distant for Glenelg and Kylerhea based members.
If it is thought useful SeaGeneration (Kyle Rhea) Ltd will organise short presentations for each meeting to provide further info on the Environmental Assessment work, Navigation issues, etc.


The country now known as Moldova was formerly part of (Greater) Romania, known as the region of Bessarabia. It was annexed during World War II by the Soviet Union and later became the Moldovan SSR. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Moldova became an independent nation and shortly afterwards there was a brief but vicious war between Moldovan forces and Transdniestr.
Transdniestr (sometimes spelled Trans-Dniester in English) is a self-proclaimed independent country, although it is not recognized as such by any other nation. It has its own government, police, customs, border patrol and military, not to mention its own official "state" run media. Due to a number of factors, it is also home to most of the industrial capabilities of Moldova, and therefore despite its small size and awkward geographical layout, it is financially better off than Moldova proper.
The population of Transdniestr is about half Romanian, with the other half mostly ethnic Russians and Ukrainians. The political power structure however is completely run by Russians, including the "President" of Transdniestr, Igor Smirnov. Transdniestr fended off Moldovan attacks to become independent/autonomous largely thanks to Russian military help and the country has survived entirely thanks to Russian patronage. Indeed, most Russian citizens of Transdniestr carry Russian passports and the Russian ruble is the currency used in Transdniestr.
Unfortunately for Transdniestr's leadership, the autonomy does not have any borders with Russia itself. Instead it is wedged between Moldova proper and Ukraine. In former, perhaps happier times for Transdniestr, Ukraine was considered an ally and critical rail links with the Ukrainian port city of Sevastopol were a lifeline for Transdniestr's economy.
This issue shifted last week when Moldova and Ukraine implemented new customs regulations, requiring all Transdniestr goods (that are being exported) to carry a Moldovan tax stamp. In other words, Transdniestr must pay taxes to Moldova to export its goods, which of course angered the Transdniestrians. At first Igor Smirnov believed that Ukrainian president Yushchenko must be "poorly informed" on the new regulations, implying Yushchenko would never implement them if "only he knew" about them.
Well Yushchenko knows about them darn well and as a result of the new rules, all exports from Transdniestr to Ukraine have stopped. Just to reinforce his awareness on the issue, Ukraine beefed up its troop presence on the border with Transdniestr just to keep Smirnov from getting any ideas.
Russia responded angrily, saying that the new customs rules could lead to a humanitarian disaster, saying that the enforcement of customs rules is actually an imposition of economic sanctions. Transdniestr's econonomic "minister", Yelena Chernenko, said the autonomy had already lost 20 million dollars after one week of the new rules. Meanwhile Ukraine says that Transdniestr has only itself to blame after Transdniestr banned all automobile imports from Ukraine.
Perhaps most ominously, a Russian MP named Sergey Shishkarev stated that Russia could formally recognize Transdniestr as an independent country. I sincerely doubt that will happen at this juncture but it's adding fuel to the fire.
As far as Russia is concerned, Transdniestr is an independent country even if it doesn't say so on paper. And it isn't going to let Transdniestr get put into an economic stranglehold. There are five self-declared autonomies slash de facto nations in Europe and the CIS - Transdniestr, South Ossetia (Georgia), Abkhazia (Georgia), Nagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan) and Kosovo (Serbia). Russia backs the independence of the first four while opposing the last one.
Yet Russia and others in the region cannot help but notice how close Kosovo is to becoming an independent country, backed by all the western nations. This seems patently unfair compared to the other four, where there are equally as many valid reasons to justify international recognition as independent states. Therefore the loss of Transdniestr touches on bigger issues, such as Russia's influence in the world versus that of NATO/the west.
Russia will try twisting Ukraine's arm on this issue to get some kind of compromise worked out. But if that doesn't work out, I don't know what the next step will be. Transdniestr cannot survive if they cannot export goods via Ukraine or Moldova and it seems extremely unlikely that they will acquiesce to Moldovan customs oversight as that would be political suicide for the Smirnov clan.
We'll have to keep a sharp eye on this situation, that's for sure.
Great diary Soj, thanks for this information.
The population of Transdniestr is about half Romanian, with the other half mostly ethnic Russians and Ukrainians.
I think even now most Moldovans will disagree with assertion that they are Romanians. Population census of 2004 puts population of Transdniestr at 555,500 (compare with 679,000 in 1989) with 31,9% Moldovans, 30,3% Russians and 28,8% Ukrainians.
>70,0000 carry Ukrainian passport. Interestingly enough, in presendent's elections they voted overwhelmingly against Yushchenko. This year Ukraine decided not to open polling stations in Transdniestr for parliamentary elections.
Technically speaking, yes they are "ethnic" Moldovan, although if that's an ethnicity so is Moldavian, Maramuresian and Crisanan.
I guess the best delimeter is the language spoken and yes Moldovan is considered a separate language than Romanian, although it is virtually identical.
Apparently Moldovan is essentially the same language as Romanian, except that the name of the language in Moldova is Moldovan. Sort of like in Spain, where (two very close dialects of) the same language is called Catalan in Catalonia and Valencian in Valencia, and this is codified in the Statutes of Autonomy for the respective Autonomous communities.
Gosh I'm an idiot... the port that they depend on isn't Sevastopol, it's Odessa. I was thinking of the Russian Black Sea naval port. My mistake!
I recall you did some great posts on Transdniestr on your site. You might mention who Smirnoff is and where he comes from. Or if his son continues to be the only person who has an export license.
Transdneistr appears to be very much a family affair, just like Lukashenko in Belarus.
The Transdniestrian situation seems really scary. I can't imagine how is it possible that there are independent self-proclaimed regions in Europe and at the same time we are talking about a united Europe (which I completely support- don't get me wrong).
Probably one of the reasons why the western press is ignoring the issue in Transdniestr is because Moldova, as a whole, is not a really influencial actor on the european podium. Unfortunatelly, it just do not have the capacity to be since it is still the poorest country in Europe.
I just hope everything will settle soon because both Transdnistrians and Moldovans are having hard time now.
Moldova is a black hole in European awareness: even more forgotten than Belarus.

The Honor 7X is a lot of smartphone for $200, and there are plenty of accessories to pick up for the Honor 7X to make sure you make the most of this smartphone. From screen protectors to cases to car mounts and so much more. Below we have rounded up the best accessories available for the Honor 7X.
There are a few cases available for the Honor 7X, luckily, most of them are slim and lightweight models. So that you can slip on a TPU case onto the Honor 7X and not worry about it getting bulky. The Honor 7X is already a pretty lightweight and thin smartphone, so the last thing you'd want to do is make it bulky. There's also a great screen protector available, from Supershieldz. This is a tempered glass screen protector, which is important. A tempered glass screen protector is better because it'll offer up a better experience over the plastic models, as it feels more natural to your finger, than a plastic screen protector. It also doesn't pick up scratches as easily. Although it will usually cost a bit more money then the plastic screen protectors, but it is still far cheaper than having to replace the actual display on your smartphone.
Of course, if you need some headphones or even a new speaker, this list has you covered as well. The Honor 7X has kept the headphone jack, thankfully, so you are able to use a pair of AKG headphones with the Honor 7X, which are wired. That makes these cheaper, but also there's no battery inside. Which means you won't need to worry about charging these headphones before you run out. There are also some great car mounts listed below, like one from iOttie which will attach to the CD Slot in your car to mount your Honor 7X. This is a great place to mount your smartphone, as you'll be able to go ahead and keep it out of sight, and keep your eyes on the road, but you can also take it down when it's not in use, which is also pretty important.
Here's another slim and lightweight case for the Honor 7X. This one does add some grip, but not as much as the KuGi model that's above. So you can slap this onto the Honor 7X and not worry about dropping the device, but also not need to worry about making it even more bulky than it already is.
Supershieldz is one of the more popular names for tempered glass screen protectors, and they already have one available for the Honor 7X. This is a tempered glass screen protector, which is going to allow you to still feel glass on the display instead of plastic. Which gives you a better experience, and also protects the Honor 7X's display a bit more.
Honor has decided to keep the headphone jack on the Honor 7X, which is great news. And that means you can pick up a great pair of wired headphones, like these from AKG. These are wired headphones, so you won't need to worry about charging them, nor them dropping connection. And they are under $30.
Have a CD player in your car that you're no longer using? Use it to mount your Honor 7X. This mount from iOttie, allows you to use the CD slot for mounting your smartphone. This way it is out of the way, and not in the way of seeing the road. But you can still use it for navigation and such.
If you're wanting a slightly cheaper speaker, but still with some great sound, the OontZ Angle 3 is a great one to pick up. It's under $30, but because it's angled, it is able to fill an entire room with sound much easier. Additionally, it has some killer bass included, thanks to the great woofer that is included.


ARUSHA (Tanzania) • After a series of terrorist attacks on hotels and other tourist sites that have raised concerns across Africa, the United States has increased training exercises with local militaries, focusing on how to defend civilian targets on a continent that has become a significant battleground in the war against militant Islam.
In Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, US Army troops simulated an elaborate hostage rescue with West African forces this month. In Kenya, American trainers funded by the State Department have been working with police commandos on how to respond to terrorist attacks like the Westgate mall raid in 2013, when fighters with Al-Shabab killed 67 people.
In Gabon next month, paratroopers from the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division are set to jump out of a plane and straight into a joint exercise - part of an effort to train Central African militaries in elaborate raids, strikes and rescue missions.
These training efforts are a far cry from the days when the Pentagon viewed Africa as a place to avoid, fearing open-ended United Nations peacekeeping missions.
Ms Jennifer Cooke, director of the Africa programme at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, said "the US looks at Africa differently" now. "Some of the threats... pose a more direct and sophisticated threat to African states, to European allies, and potentially to the US," she added.
Many of you in this room are descendants of fighters who practised guerilla warfare against... the colonial forces of Europe. Embedded in your armies is the knowledge of how to fight guerilla warfare.
GENERAL MARK MILLEY, on how African forces can tackle terrorist groups.
Al-Shabab in East Africa, the Libyan affiliate of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, Boko Haram in Central and West Africa, and Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb region of West Africa are widely believed to be the terrorist organisations that pose the most direct threat to civilians.
At a recent African Land Forces Summit meeting here, US Army Chief of Staff Mark Milley urged his African counterparts to draw on their own experiences battling colonial powers to fight the four terrorist groups. "Many of you in this room are descendants of fighters who practised guerilla warfare against... the colonial forces of Europe," he told senior military officials from 37 African countries. "Embedded in your armies is the knowledge of how to fight guerilla warfare."
But defending "soft targets" - military jargon for hotels, restaurants, malls and other places where unarmed civilians congregate - is difficult even for sophisticated militaries, let alone the continent's fledgling security forces.
US law restricts the Pentagon's direct work with African police forces - that is done through the State Department - so the American military often finds itself struggling to make sure that training is going to the people most likely to be charged with missions such as rescuing hostages. "It's going to take time," General Milley said during his speech, "but we're going to do this selectively, without abusing people."
Since a recent spate of attacks, African security forces have been asking the US military for help in learning how to defend soft targets. "They're asking for how to do better intelligence surveillance," said Major-General Darryl Williams, the head of army forces assigned to Africa. "They're asking for logistics help. Because these threats are everywhere."

About Glen Campbell
Glen Campbell is best known for his once-omnipresent hit, "Rhinestone Cowboy," but the man has had more chart-toppers than most of his country pop contemporaries. Prior to hitting big with such staples as "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" and "Wichita Lineman," Campbell was a session player (his guitar work can be heard on songs by everyone from Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra to the Beach Boys and Merle Haggard). In 1967, Campbell first cracked the charts with the single "Gentle on My Mind." Soon after, appearances on The Joey Bishop Show led to a hosting gig on The Summer Smothers Brothers Show, which in turn led to his own series, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. In the mid-'70s, Campbell hit his stride, topping both the country and pop charts with "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Southern Nights." During the '80s, marriage troubles and substance abuse saw him in and out of the tabloids, but he bounced back in the '90s, recording a handful of gospel albums and writing his autobiography, Rhinestone Cowboy. In 2005, Campbell was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Three years later, at 72, he released Meet Glen Campbell, a covers collection. Linda Ryan

Are psychedelics the solution to the environmental crisis?
Steve B. Russell March 25, 2022
Human civilization is increasingly alienated from nature and the environment is in crisis as a result.
Environmental activists are calling for systemic change. With the new wave of scientific interest in psychedelics, it is clear that Western medicine is adopting centuries-old practices to revolutionize psychiatric treatment, but could we go further?
Perhaps – psychedelic drugs proving invaluable to the health of our minds – could also help save the health of the planet.
Nature is in crisis
Since the emergence of industrial societies, human activity has experienced unprecedented growth. With a rapidly expanding world population and remarkable advances in technology, our consumption of natural resources continues to soar. As a result, human life creates an environmental demand so high that our planet cannot sustain it.
the the environment is in crisis. Rising temperatures are exacerbating large-scale losses. The ice caps are melting. Sea level rise. Forests are burning. And the crisis is not limited to the natural world; human populations will inevitably face extreme economic, social, political and technological problems – a consequence that the will disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
It is almost impossible to live a completely eco-friendly life in modern western society. individual durable swaps feel almost insignificant compared to the mass damage done by large corporations; when the burden is so often placed on the individual, it has led many to think, "why bother?" And because the scale of global destruction is too great for us to even begin to comprehend, it becomes all too easy to turn a blind eye to this impending crisis.
Humans have moved away from nature. We will continue to destroy and pollute the planet on a mass scale until we, as a species, are able to reconnect with nature, but how can we do that?
The importance of environmental virtues
A new paperto appear in Philosophical Psychology, Addressed this issue very. The authors of the article, Dr Chris Letheby and Dr Nin Kirkham, are philosophers at the University of Western Australia (UWA). They argue that psychedelic drugs could "catalyze the development of environmental virtues" and therefore act as a solution to environmental challenges, such as "climate change, plastic pollution, [and] habitat destruction."
At first glance, the theory that psychedelics could be the solution to the climate crisis is somewhat dubious, but the authors dig deeper into the argument and build a solid case. They claim that psychedelia could build environmental virtues – traits that reflect our moral duty to protect the environment – and, in turn, promote "the development of an environmental consciousness." »
According to the authors, this eco-awareness "can help moderate individual choices and actions that … plays an important role in our ability to get traction on environmental issues." The document does not claim that it is the individual's duty to save the environment. On the contrary, he underlines that the construction of personal environmental virtues creates a dynamic of large-scale change.
It makes sense; the more people who care about the health of the planet, the more likely corporations and states will take action on this environmental crisis. It is certainly a convincing argument, but how exactly do psychedelics encourage environmentally friendly behavior?
Psychedelics enhance the connection with nature
The psychedelic experience produces a lasting change in our state of mind – a loss of ego. The boundaries between you, others, and the world around you dissolve and you begin to see yourself as part of the natural world, rather than a separate entity. This dissolution of the barrier between nature and self evokes a sense of nature-connectedness, which is a main characteristic of a psychedelic journey.
Research established that connecting with nature promotes pro-environmental behaviors, such as recycling and reducing energy use, so it's not too presumptuous to suggest that psychedelics encourage users to live a more sustainable.
There is even growing evidence to support this idea. An observation studypublished in the Journal of Psychopharmacology in 2017, found that lifetime use of LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline was associated with a related increase in nature and pro-environmental behavior.
More recent evidence suggests that this link goes beyond simple correlation. A study 2019 found that "nature connectedness was significantly increased 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 2 years after the psychedelic experience," verifying a causal relationship between psychedelic use and being connected to nature.
Could psychedelics really save the planet?
Dr. Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of the environmental movement Extinction Rebellion (XR), specifically spoke about how her experiences with psychedelics shaped her relationship with the environment and contributed to her decision to create XR.
Bradbrook said The Independent that the psychedelic realm "can help bridge the gap between science and the spiritual needs of humans. " According to new scientistBradbrook called for "massive psychedelic ingestion" as a form of rebellion against drug policy, which she complaints "would alleviate the ecological crisis in which we find ourselves".
The authors of the Philosophical Psychology paper adopt a slightly less radical attitude. They argue that for psychedelics to be "safe and effective" in promoting pro-environmental behavior, they require "controlled and intentional administration", such as "clinical trials and proven religious ceremonies".
However, the paper did not offer any suggestion on how this might be logistically achieved, especially on a scale large enough to bring about meaningful social change. "Obviously the devil is in the details, and figuring out precisely how to achieve this outcome will be no small feat," the authors. So, despite the plausibility of the theory itself, we cannot ignore the legal and ethical obstacles to using psychedelics to solve environmental problems.
Classic psychedelics, such as LSD and psilocybin, are currently classed as Schedule I controlled substances in the UK, under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Comparable restrictions are in place in the United States and Australia, so the prospect of using psychedelics to bring about change in the world is no small feat.
The authors also pre-empted the objection that "increasing ethical taking of drugs is cheating". The case for moral improvement has been widely disputed among scholars. some philosophers Argue that a change which leaves a person with morally better motives than before is, itself, immoral.
In response, the paper suggests that using pharmacological pathways to remind us of our duty to protect nature is a valuable thing. "It seems almost a truism to say that if people were better, the world would be a better place, so if we want to make the world a better place, we must support the moral improvement of human beings. »
While it would be naive to believe that psychedelia can act as a "magic pill" to save the world, we must acknowledge their role in a multifaceted solution to the environmental crisis. Connecting with nature certainly promotes environmental awareness, so it's not unthinkable that the widespread use of psychedelics could help redirect us to a path that values our intrinsic connection with the natural world.
The renewable energies of the world and the environmental crisis that it will not fail to create, if it is not taken into account now!

At 87, new legal life for inmate in Helen Brach case
An ABC7 I-Team Investigation
By Chuck Goudie and Christine Tressel
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago's most vexing crime mystery, the murder of candy heiress Helen Brach 40-years ago, once again has the attention of a federal judge and the U.S. attorney.
The I-Team has learned that gigolo/con man Richard Bailey, the only man ever convicted in connection with the Brach conspiracy, filed a motion on his own to have his 1997 case re-opened, and Senior District Judge Milton Shadur has now ordered federal prosecutors to respond.
Helen Brach
I-Team file
Bailey, the aged horse swindler and former Brach boyfriend, is 87 years old and serving a 30-year federal sentence for conspiring to kill "the Candy Lady." His previous legal attempts at challenging his sentence - including this year before the Supreme Court-have all failed.
A five page motion researched and written by Bailey in the Coleman penitentiary in Florida was filed in Chicago late last month. He pleaded guilty to multiple racketeering and fraud counts-but was sentenced on the "preponderance of evidence" that he was actually Helen Brach's killer as well-an allegation Bailey has always denied. Preponderance is a less rigorous standard used in sentencing, as opposed to "beyond a reasonable doubt" required during trial.
Bailey's motion "asserts actual innocence -- not of the crime to which he pleaded guilty, but of the far more serious crime of Helen Brach's murder" wrote Judge Shadur, who was also the trial court judge in the original Bailey case. Shadur calls Bailey's motion an "articulate presentation of his arguments then and now" and the judge has ordered federal prosecutors to respond by August 18.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's office in Chicago declined to comment on Monday but has assigned a prosecutor to prepare the government's response.
While legal experts do not give Bailey much hope for success, in a letter to the I-Team received today Richard Bailey expresses optimism about his prospects for release. He says he expects to be out of prison soon.
Helen Brach's body has never been found but she has been declared dead-according to some investigators her remains disposed of in a blast furnace or chemical pit, with help from the Chicago Outfit.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the first President of India. Rajendra Prasad was a great freedom-fighter, and the architect of the Indian Constitution, having served as President of the Constituent Assembly that drafted the Constitution of the Republic from 1948 to 1950. He had also served as a Cabinet Minister briefly in the first Government of Independent India. He was a crucial leader of the Indian Independence Movement. Prasad was born in Jiradei, in the Siwan district of Bihar. His father, Mahadev Sahay, was a Persian and Sanskrit language scholar; his mother, Kamleshwari Devi, was a devout lady who would tell stories from the Ramayana to her son. At the age of 5, the young Rajendra Prasad was sent to a Maulavi for learning Persian. After that he was sent to Chapra Zilla School for further primary studies.
He was married at the age of 12 to Rajvanshi Devi. He then went on to study at R.K. Ghosh's Academy in Patna to be with his older brother Mahendra Prasad. Soon afterward, however, he rejoined the Chapra Zilla School, and it was from there that he passed the entrance examination of Calcutta University, at the age of 18. He stood first in the first division of that examination. He then joined the Presidency College, Calcutta. He was initially a student of science and his teachers included J.C .Bose and Prafulla Chandra Roy. Later he decided to switch his focus to the arts. Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy, who was impressed by his intellect and dedication asked him on the occasion "Why have you deserted your class?." Prasad lived with his brother in the Eden Hindu Hostel. A plaque still commemorates his stay in that room. He had been initiated into the Swadeshi movement by his brother. He then joined the Dawn Society run by Satish Chandra Mukherjee, and Sister Nivedita. In 1911, he joined the A.I.C.C. However, his family estate was in bad condition. He was looked upon as the provider. But he sought permission from his brother in a letter to join the Indian freedom movement. He wrote, "Ambitions I have none, except to be of some service to the Motherland". The shock of his brother, however, held him to the family. In 1916, Rajendra Prasad joined the High Court of Bihar, and Orissa. Such was his intellect and his integrity, that often when his adversary failed to cite a precedent, the judges asked Rajendra Prasad to cite a precedent against himself. After meeting Mahatma Gandhi, he quit as a Senator of the University, much to the regret of the British Vice-Chancellor.He also responded to the call by the Mahatma to boycott Western education by asking his son Mrityunjaya Prasad, a brilliant student to drop out of the University and enroll himself in Bihar Vidyapeeth, an institution he had along with his colleagues founded on the traditional Indian model. He wrote articles for Searchlight and the Desh and collected funds for these papers. He toured a lot, explaining, lecturing and exhorting. When the earthquake of Bihar occurred on January 15, 1934, Rajendra Prasad was in jail. He was released two days later. He set himself for the task of raising funds. The Viceroy had also raised a fund. However, while Rajendra Prasad's fund collected over 38 Lakhs (Rs. 3,800,000), the Viceroy could only manage one-third of that amount. The way relief was organized left nothing to be desired. Nationalist India expressed its admiration by electing him to the President of the Bombay session of the Indian National Congress.
After India became independent he was elected the President of India. As President, he used his moderating influence so silently and unobtrusively that he neither reigned nor ruled. His sister Bhagwati Devi died on the night of 25 January 1960. She doted on her dearly-loved younger brother. It must have taken Rajendra Prasad all his will power to have taken the Republic Day salute as usual, on the following day. It was only on return from the parade that he set about the task of cremation. In 1962, after 12 years as President, he announced his decision to retire. He was subsequently awarded the Bharat Ratna, the nation's highest civilian award. Within months of his retirement, early in September 1962, his wife Rajvanshi Devi passed away. In a letter written a month before his death to one devoted to him, he said, "I have a feeling that the end is near, end of the energy to do, end of my very existence". He died on 28 February 1963 with 'Ram Ram Ram' on his lips. Because of the enormous public adulation he enjoyed, he was referred to as Desh Ratna or the Jewel of the country. His legacy is being ably carried forward by his great grandson Ashoka Jahnavi-Prasad, a psychiatrist and a scientist of international repute who introduced sodium valproate as a safer alternative to lithium salts in the treatment of bipolar disorders.
Prasad acted independently of politics, following the expected role of the president as per the constitution. Following the tussle over the enactment of the Hindu Code Bill, he took a more active role in state affairs. In 1962, after serving twelve years as the president, he announced his decision to retire. After relinquishing the office of the President of India on May 1962, he returned to Patna on 14 May 1962 and preferred to stay in the campus of Bihar Vidyapeeth. He was subsequently awarded the Bharat Ratna, the nation's highest civilian award. He died on 28 February 1963.

Q: Prevent Email Spam after using reCaptcha All,
I've got a form on my page that I use to send emails. On the form page I have the following code:
<input type="text" name="Name" id="your_name" class="contact_form_input_text">
<input type="text" name="Email_Address" id="your_email" class="contact_form_input_text">
<input type="text" name="fill_me_out" id="fill_me_out">
<input type="button" value="Send" id="submit_contact_form_button">

The first text box is a lamecaptcha and I check it on the PHP side to make sure that it wasn't filled out. I also hide it using some JS with this:
jQuery(function(){
    jQuery("#fill_me_out").hide();
});

I then have the following form validation before my page submits using jQuery validator:
jQuery("#contact_form").validate({
    rules: {
        Email_Address: {
            required: true,
            email: true
        },
        Name: {
            required: true
        }
    },
    messages: {
        Email_Address: {
            required: "Please enter an email address!",
            email: "Please enter a valid email address!"
        },
        Name: {
            required: "Please enter your Name!"
        }
    }
});

jQuery("#submit_contact_form_button").click(function(event) {
      if (jQuery("#contact_form").valid()) {
        challengeField = jQuery("input#recaptcha_challenge_field").val();
            responseField = jQuery("input#recaptcha_response_field").val();
            var html = jQuery.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: site_url + "ajax.recaptcha.php",
            data: "recaptcha_challenge_field=" + challengeField + "&recaptcha_response_field=" + responseField,
            async: false
            }).responseText;

            if(html == "success")
            {
                //$("#captchaStatus").html(" ");
                // Uncomment the following line in your application
                //return true;
                jQuery("#contact_form").submit();
            }else{
                jQuery("#captchaStatus").html("Your captcha is incorrect. Please try again");
                Recaptcha.reload();
                return false;
            }
      }
      return false;
    });

If everything is filled out correctly the page then submits. I have the following check to check the lame captcha:
$lamecaptcha_check = $_POST['fill_me_out'];
if($lamecaptcha_check!=""){
    echo '[box style="alert"]Why are you trying to spam us? It could be because you don\'t have Javascript enabled and filled out an incorrect box![/box]';
}else{
    //Send the form using mail
}

To submit the form is a button and not a submit so it has to go through the jquery validation to do even be submitted. Somehow I'm still getting blank email messages to come through. Does anyone know anything else I can possibly do to prevent spam/blank email messages? I was thinking I should check the variables on the back end to make sure they are not blank but the form shouldn't even be submitted unless there are some values so I require a valid email address on the initial page. Any ideas are appreciated!
Thanks!

A: Just because you have a submit button go through jQuery to work, doesn't mean the form can't be submitted otherwise.
A spambot would probably examine the HTML of your form, look at the different fields, and then just send a POST request with the relevant information. It will not evaluate your jQuery.
If you want to do something like this, set the form's action="javascript:;", then update it in your jQuery to the actual value right before submitting.

DHL expands international e-commerce fulfillment capabilities
Please Login to see contents
DHL Parcel and DHL eCommerce have announced the launch of a global fulfillment platform and new fulfillment centres in the UK, Americas and Southeast Asia.
In a statement issued today (3 April), Deutsche Post DHL Group said: "Today's e-commerce market is placing aggressive demands on the retailer to provide fast fulfillment and delivery, and doing so without increasing costs. This is simply not possible for most merchants because they lack capital or the ability to manage the complexity.
"DHL has built a new IT platform that provides seamless access to a network of fulfillment centers and is closely integrated with DHL's shipping capabilities to allow our customers to meet their fulfillment and shipping requirements in a much more efficient fashion. DHL is investing in this platform as well as in expanding its fulfillment centers in key international markets, enabling retailers to reach their consumers worldwide."
The statement added: "With existing fulfillment centers in the U.S., Mexico, Colombia, Hong Kong, India, Australia, Germany, and now in the United Kingdom and Southeast Asia, DHL already covers major e-commerce markets with its own presence and will expand these further in the future.
"Situated near London on an area of about 6,500 square meters, the latest addition to the fulfillment network in the English town of Radlett, offers great potential for same-day processing for the Greater London area due to the center's good transport links. Apart from the center in Radlett, DHL is already working on the expansion of its fulfillment centers across other European markets, like the Netherlands, Poland or Switzerland."
DHL said that the new IT platform will give online retailers access to all of these e-commerce regions from a single source.

Monster drives are common on this downhill 358-yard Par 4. Not too much trouble on this hole, but make sure to avoid the trees lining the fairway along both sides of the fairway. A smaller green awaits as compared to others on the course, however shorter approaches are the norm.
