Cocom, seltener Kokom, ist der Name eines postklassischen  Fürstengeschlechts der Maya aus Yukatan. Die Familie besteht bis in die Gegenwart fort.

Geschichte
Die erste schriftliche Nachricht der Cocom stammt aus Chichén Itzá. Im Jahre 870 hatten demnach K'ak'upakal K'awiil, eine herausragende Persönlichkeit in Chichén Itzá, K'inich Jun Pik To'ok', Herrscher von Ek Balam, sowie ein offenbar ranggleiches Mitglied der Cocom-Familie gemeinsam eine Feuerzeremonie durchgeführt. In dem heute als Akab Dzib benannten Gebäude in Chichén Itzá bezeichnet sich dessen Besitzer Yahawal Cho' K'ak' als ein Angehöriger der Familie der Cocom. Aber auch weitere Inschriften aus nicht identifizierten Bauten bringen diese in Beziehung zu den Cocom.

Den Chilam Balam nach wurde der Cocomfürst Hunak Ke'el, Herrscher (Halach Huinik) und möglicherweise auch Gründer von Ich Paa, von den Itzá um das Jahr 1194 gefangen genommen und im Auftrag von Chac Xib Chac als Menschenopfer in den Cenote von Chichén Itzá geworfen. Er überlebte jedoch und eröffnete den Krieg, der zur Zerstörung von Chichén Itzá führte. Selbigem wird in Folge auch die Gründung der sogenannten Liga von Mayapán zugeschrieben. Eine Vorherrschaft der Cocom in Yukatan wurde durch einen von Ah Xupan Xiu, dem regierenden Fürsten von Maní aus dem Geschlecht der Tutul Xiu, angeführten Aufstand 1441–1461 beendet und führte zur Zerstörung von Mayapan. Fast alle Angehörigen der Familie der Cocom fielen dem Aufstand zum Opfer.

Überlebt hat lediglich ein Sohn, welcher sich auswärts aufhielt und zunächst in Tibolon siedelte, im Anschluss aber Sotuta gründete. Dieser Ort, der wie Maní bis heute bewohnt ist, wurde die Residenzstadt des gleichnamigen Fürstentums, welches eines der bedeutendsten von 16 indigenen Jurisdiktionen auf Yukatan zur Zeit der Ankunft der Spanier war. Die Cocom lagen in der Folgezeit in unversöhnlichem Krieg mit den Tutul Xiu. So soll eine Gruppe von Xiu-Pilgern, die am heiligen Cenote von Chichén Itzá für ein Ende einer Dürreperiode Opfer ausführen wollten, von den Cocom im Schlaf getötet worden sein. Jedoch lag das Fürstentum Sotuta auch mit den Nachbarstaaten Hocabá und Ah Kin Chel in ständigem Krieg.

Während sich u. a. die Tutul Xiu mit den Spaniern alliiert hatten, führten die Cocom mehrere Aufstände an. Nachi Cocom († 1562), Herrscher von Sotuta und Enkel des letzten Herrschers von Mayapan, war einer der bedeutendsten und letzten Widerständler. Am 11. Juni 1541 unterlag er, ein uniertes Mayaheer anführend, gegen Francisco de Montejo y León und dessen indigenen Auxiliartruppen bei Tixkokob. Nach seiner Taufe auf den Namen Juan stellte er Diego de Landa für dessen um 1566 verfasstes Werk "Relación de las cosas de Yucatán" wertvolle Informationen zur Verfügung. Sein Bruder Lorenzo Cocom folgte ihm als Familienoberhaupt, nahm sich jedoch um der peinlichen Befragung zu entgehen, nach einem Jahr Regierungszeit das Leben, nachdem er angeklagt wurde, in Sotuta Menschen geopfert zu haben. Ihm folgte der Sohn Nachi Cocoms in der Herrschaftsfolge, welcher von 1565 bis 1581 als Gouverneur von Sotuta genannt wurde. Er soll ein sehr kluger und umsichtiger Mann gewesen sein, der zudem bereits fließend spanisch sprach. Seine Familie besetzte noch bis zum Ausgang des 18. Jahrhunderts die Gouverneursstelle in Sotuta.

SugarCRM is upping its mobile game against the remainder of the competitive CRM sector after agreeing to a deal to acquire and subsequently shut down Stitch.
The deal, for which financials have not been disclosed, sees the startup's app that is geared towards sales people absorbed into SugarCRM's offering and it follows confirmation from Stitch last week that the app in its current form would no longer be available.
SugarCRM's mobile app will absorb all the elements of Stitch. This is good news for users of the latter's app as up until now it has only allowed users to access their existing databases.
Stitch works by allowing users to intelligently group, check through and gain analytics from emails and other cloud-based documents to create a more valuable set of insights for salespeople that are constantly on the move. Stitch goes even further than that by trying to bring in big data and algorithms to provide even better opportunities for sales staff.
As part of the transaction almost the entire Stitch team will be moving to SugarCRM and the office that it has acquired will become the SugarCRM location in San Francisco. Stitch's CEO and co-founder Somrat Niyogi will join SugarCRM as an advisor.
The startup was founded by former Salesforce executives and Salesforce itself acquired a similar service offered by RelateIQ last year for just under $400 million (around £265 million, or AU$521 million).
Are we witnessing the dawn of the golden age of CRM?

Abstract: Financing has been identified as a dominant constraint to Ghanaian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study explores the determinants of bank financing and debt among Ghanaian SMEs. A panel regression model estimates the relation between the determinants and the bank-debt ratio. The results reveal that bank loans account for less than a quarter of SMEs' total debt financing, and show that the age and size of the firm, along with asset tangibility, have significantly positive associations with the bank-debt ratio. Profitability is significantly and negatively related to the bank-debt ratio. These findings have significant implications both at the firm level and for the support of policies aimed at improving SME financing in Ghana.

Wicomico officials accept Connelly Mill land donation, which may expand sports complex
Liz Holland
The Wicomico County Council agreed Thursday to accept the donation of nearly 235 acres south of Delmar that abut the north side of the Henry S. Parker Athletic Complex.
County Executive Bob Culver said the transfer of the land was finalized immediately following the council meeting.
"It really does help out Wicomico County now and in the future," he said.
The property on Connelly Mill Road is the same piece of land that council members rejected a year ago after an environmental study of the site showed lead contamination in the groundwater there. Since then, the Maryland Department of the Environment determined the presence of lead does not pose a public health risk.
County officials want to use part of the site to mine soil that will be used as cover material at the Newland Park Landfill and have obtained a permit to operate a borrow pit there through 2023, said Weston Young, the county's assistant director of administration.
"We plan to mobilize on the site fairly rapidly," Young told council members.
If county officials decide to acquire dump trucks, work would likely start in the summer, but it could start sooner if they use private contractors to haul the dirt, he said.
The affected area will be 55 acres, leaving the remainder of the land for other purposes, including the potential expansion of the Parker complex.
The county will pay $44,571 to Connelly Mill Associates LLP, the land owners, that includes reimbursement of property taxes as well as various expenses they incurred following the year's delay in accepting the land
The land had been owned by the partnership since the early 1980s, according to a letter from attorney Steve Smethurst, who was one of the owners. In July 2017, the partners offered to donate the land to the county and gave until Dec. 29 of that year to finalize the deal.
The property, which lies just south of Delmar, is within the Salisbury city limits and has no utilities. In recent years it has been used by all-terrain vehicle owners.

Q: What is the difference between guides(fill = FALSE) and theme(legend.position = "none")? According to this page, the following should yield no legend:
ggplot(df) +
  geom_histogram(
    aes(
      x = vara,
      y = 0.5*..density..,
      fill = varb
    ),
    color = "black",
    binwidth = 10
  ) +
  theme(legend.position = "none") + # this is the line of interest
  facet_wrap(~ varb, nrow = 5) +
  ylab("Density")

However, I still get the same legend for my fill attribute.
Using the following, I get none:
ggplot(df) +
  geom_histogram(
    aes(
      x = vara,
      y = 0.5*..density..,
      fill = varb
    ),
    color = "black",
    binwidth = 10
  ) +
  guides(fill = FALSE) + # this is the line of interest
  facet_wrap(~ varb, nrow = 5) +
  ylab("Density")

What is the difference?
Edit: MWE
Shame on me. I left out the code that actually breaks the graph. However, I still don't see why.
This does not help:
library(ggplot2)

df <- data.frame(
  vara = seq(5),
  varb = c("y","y","n","n","y")
)

prettyplot <- function(p) {
  p <- p +
    theme_classic() +
    theme(text = element_text(
      family = "Palatino", size = 14)) +
    theme(axis.title.y = element_text(
      margin = margin(0,20,0,0))) +
    theme(axis.title.x = element_text(
      margin = margin(20,0,0,0)))
  return(p)
}

p <- ggplot(df) +
  geom_histogram(
    aes(
      x = vara,
      y = 0.5*..density..,
      fill = varb
    ),
    color = "black",
    binwidth = 10
  ) +
  theme(legend.position = "none") + # this is the line of interest
  facet_wrap(~ varb, nrow = 5) +
  ylab("Density")

prettyplot(p)

A: prettyplot calls theme_classic() which resets the legend. Since prettyplot is called after theme(legend.position="none"), the legend gets restored. To remove the legend only once, you need to remove it after setting theme_classic().
theme_classic restores the legend, because it is based on theme_bw, which explicitly includes the legend in its default position. Here is theme_classic():
function (base_size = 12, base_family = "")
{
    theme_bw(base_size = base_size, base_family = base_family) %+replace%
        theme(panel.border = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
            panel.grid.major = element_line(), panel.grid.major.x = element_blank(),
            panel.grid.major.y = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor = element_line(),
            panel.grid.minor.x = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor.y = element_blank(),
            strip.background = element_rect(colour = "black",
                size = 0.5), legend.key = element_blank())
}

theme_bw is a list of 44 plot elements, including this one: $ legend.position  : chr "right", which places the legend in its default location.

Celtics' Kyrie Irving optimistic despite loss to Bulls: 'I still don't see anybody beating us in seven games'
Despite a 126-116 loss to the Chicago Bulls, Kyrie Irving maintains the Celtics are still a team you don't want to see in the post-season.
By Benyam Kidane
(NBA Getty Images) https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/NBA_Global_CMS_image_storage/93/69/kyrie_10y97img9x1cy1ax6du375erki.jpg?t=556599865&w=500
Despite their 126-116 loss to the struggling Chicago Bulls (16-44), Kyrie Irving maintains facing the Boston Celtics in the playoffs remains no easy task.
"You know, it is what it is. Like I said, I don't get frustrated about this stuff anymore," Irving said post-game. "It's just part of the regular season. In the playoffs when we can plan for a team, prepare for a team, I still don't see anybody beating us in seven games."

- Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) February 24, 2019
Boston, who boast a top-five defence in the league, saw Zach LaVine (42 points on 17-of-29 shooting) and Lauri Markkannen (35 points on 12-of-20 shooting) both explode for career-highs as Boston dropped their fourth game from their past six outings.
Despite the shock loss on the road to the Eastern Conference's third-worst team, Irving was confident when asked whether the Celtics' struggles heading into the playoffs.
"No, we'll be fine," he said, via ESPN's Chris Forsberg. "Because I'm here."
Irving led the Celtics with a team-high 37 points and 10 assists on the night and while the Celtics now sit at 37-23 on the season for fifth-place in the Eastern Conference standings, the 26-year-old says this lull is just part of the ups and downs of the regular season.
"You just gotta be able to adapt," Irving added, via Boston.com. "In this league, the teams that adapt the quickest, or they adapt at the right time, are successful in the playoffs. We're still waiting for that thing to click. We've gone on eight games, six games, four games winning streaks and then we'll hit a lull of three games and we're back answering questions like this, so, it is what it is.
"Like I said, I don't get frustrated about this stuff anymore. It's just part of the regular season. In the playoffs, when we can plan for a team, prepare for a team, I still don't see anybody beating us in seven games."
The Celtics now have two days to re-group, before squaring off against the second-placed (44-16) Toronto Raptors, who are currently riding a seven-game win streak.
You can catch that game on Tuesday on SN1 at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Some sweat on a horse's coat is considered healthy.: image via pokerplayer.co.uk Exercising, even moderately, in mid-day summer heat, you are at risk for dehydration and, possibly, heat stroke. But your horse is 3 to 10 times more likely to succumb to heat stress than you are. Michael Lindinger, an animal and exercise physiologist at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, recently gave a workshop focused on his research into the response of horses to heat, and had some valuable tips for keeping your horse healthy in summer.
1. "It only takes 17 minutes of moderate intensity exercise in hot, humid weather to raise a horse's temperature to dangerous levels."
2. If a horse's body temperature shoots up from 98.6° to about 105.8°F, the temperature in his muscles may be as high as 109.4°F. The proteins in his muscles start to "cook" at this temperature, and he may suffer hypotension, colic, and renal failure.
3. Horses rely on sweating to cool them off through evaporation, but only 25 to 30 percent of the sweat produced is effective in cooling the horse, though in humans up to 50 percent of sweat produced has a cooling effect. A horse can sweat up to 30 litres per hour in hot, humid conditions, and what doesn't evaporate just drips off his body.
4. It's not just water your horse is losing; it's electrolytes. They are lost in the "salts" of horse sweat that are 4 times more concentrated than in humans.
have reached the manufacturer's [or vet's] recommendation." There are so many electrolyte products on the market constituted differently from each other, that you really need to get your horse's veterinarian to recommend the best one for your horse.
2. Bring your horse to a cool, shady spot after exercising him, because he will also be cooled by breathing cooler air. But the cooler air must be at least 5° below that of the air he was exposed to.
3. It is very important, according to Lindinger, not to cover your horse with anything when he is sweating - no blankets or 'coolers.' The best way to keep him cool is to wash him down with cold water, scrape the water off quickly so it does not get absorbed by the hair, and repeat the process again and again until he has cooled down.
4. If you compete with your horse, make sure that you train him in the heat, rather than in the evening or morning hours when it's cooler. He will benefit from heat acclimation, as long as you provide him with the cooling solutions above.

Q: Why aiomysql locks the table even when using context manager? I noticed that even I execute sql statements inside "with" context manager, after the request is finished, the table queried still locked and I can't execute "truncate" on it until I stop the event loop.
Here is example of my code:
import logging
import asyncio
import aiomysql
from aiohttp import web
from aiomysql.cursors import DictCursor

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

async def index(request):
    async with request.app["mysql"].acquire() as conn:
        async with conn.cursor() as cur:
            await cur.execute("SELECT * FROM my_table")
            lines = await cur.fetchall()

    return web.Response(text='Hello Aiohttp!')

async def get_mysql_pool(loop):
    pool = await aiomysql.create_pool(
        host="localhost",
        user="test",
        password="test",
        db="test",
        cursorclass=DictCursor,
        loop=loop
    )

    return pool

if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    mysql = loop.run_until_complete(get_mysql_pool(loop))
    app = web.Application(loop=loop, debug=True)
    app["mysql"] = mysql
    app.router.add_get("/", index)
    web.run_app(app)

After executing curl 'http://localhost:8080/', I'm connecting to mysql server with mysql cli and try to execute "truncate my_table" - it won't finish until I stop aiohttp. How to change this behavior?

A: Locks held because connection is not in autocommit mode by default. Adding autocommit=True should solve the issue.
pool = await aiomysql.create_pool(
    host="localhost",
    user="test",
    password="test",
    db="test",
    autocommit=True,
    cursorclass=DictCursor,
    loop=loop)

Alternatively it is possible to release transaction by explicit command:
await cur.execute("COMMIT;")

Primary purpose of context managers here is to close cursor, not to commit transaction.
aiomysql has SQLAlchemy.core extension with context manager support for transactions, see example here:
https://github.com/aio-libs/aiomysql/blob/93aa3e5f77d77ad5592c3e9519cfc9f9587bf9ac/tests/pep492/test_async_with.py#L214-L234


Consider this when booking your room here: Do you want a five-second walk to the beach or an endless view of absurdly blue water? Six Senses hugs an oceanside rain-forest-covered hill, which means each of its sixty-six private villas offers a slightly different perspective, some shadier, some right on the sand. But you can't go wrong with any of them—or anything at this resort, for that matter. You'll spend your mornings here having coffee and fresh jackfruit on your private patio before heading to the beach for yoga. Afterward you may walk along the bamboo jungle path to the spa, where you'll spend two hours getting massaged with hot stones. What's next could be anything…Muay Thai…an afternoon nap. Soon enough, you'll be hungry for dinner at Dining on the Rocks, the restaurant on the top of the hill that overlooks what appears to be the entire world (and serves the freshest, crunchiest, spiciest organic papaya salad on the island).


Keywords:Hopf bifurcation, predator-prey model, herd behavior, prey harvesting, delay.
In this paper, the dynamics of a diffusive delayed predator-prey model with herd behavior and prey harvesting subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition is considered. Firstly, choosing the harvesting term as a bifurcation parameter, then we obtain the existence and the stability of the equilibrium by analyzing the distribution of the roots of associated characteristic equation. Secondly, time delay is regarding as a bifurcation parameter, and the use of the normal form theory and center manifold theorem, the existence, stability and direction of bifurcating periodic solutions are all demonstrated detailly. Finally, summarizing some numerical simulations to illustrate the theoretical analysis.


I think this new story better be a hoax. I love J. K. Rowling, but can't she see that she wrote it perfectly first time? Sure, Ron and Hermione bickered, but that just reminds me of so many couples I know! I saw nothing between Harry and Hermione at all!
It's not a hoax, as Emma Watson's interview will be printed in the February issue of Wonderland Magazine. I want to read the article, because I'm curious as to what other questions Emma had for J.K.
I just hope the comments are taken wildly out of context. Although what has been said is quite clear! I suppose it doesn't matter, right enough, as it's already been written. It's a great idea – definitely looking forward to the rest!
I loved Hermione and Ron's relationship. They was always tension there which built throughout the series. I can't imagine Hermione ended up with Harry. I wanted Harry to end up with Luna Lovegood. I loved their scenes together and loved her.


President Abdel Fattah el Sisi's office announced the departure of Khaled Fawzy as head of the General Intelligence Service (GIS) on 18 January, the day before the President formally declared his intention to stand in the presidential election at the end of March. It was the second high-level dismissal in recent months, following the sacking of Mahmoud Hegazy, one of El Sisi's closest associates, as Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces in late October. Fawzy has been replaced in the meantime by Kamal Ahmed, the director of the presidential office.


Today, I'm sharing one of my all-time favorite dinners. This one hour roasted chicken is simple to make, and so delicious! The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and it has a lovely crispy skin that is a must for a roasted chicken. One of my favorite recipes is my slow cooker chicken, and this is an oven roasted variation of that recipe.
2 tablespoons of all-purpose steak seasoning. I like McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning.
Step 1. Place cast iron pan inside oven and preheat oven and cast iron pan to 450 degrees. Preheating the pan helps the chicken cook faster. This is the trick to speeding up the cooking process.
Step 2: Remove giblets and neck from inside of chicken. If this part makes you a little squeamish, try and find a brand that sells them with giblets and neck already removed. My local Fresh&Easy market sells them already cleaned.
Step 3: Rinse chicken well with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. I don't worry about tying the legs together, but I do tuck the wing tips under the wings.
Step 4: Pour melted butter over chicken and season with salt and all-purpose steak seasoning.
Step 5: Working carefully, open oven, slide oven shelf out, and transfer chicken to hot skillet.
Step 6: Roast chicken at 450 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until temperature in thickest part of thigh reads 165 degrees.
Step 7: Remove chicken from oven and let rest 15-20 minutes before carving. Resting the meat before carving is an important step. If you cut into the meat straight from the oven, the juices will run out and the meat will be dry. If you let the meat rest, the juices will redistribute and the meat will be wonderful and juicy.
If you are just learning to cook, or are intimidated by cooking a whole chicken, this recipe is for you. It's really simple, and the results are so impressive. When my husband and I were first married, this was the recipe I always made for company. Roast chicken also has the benefit of being extremely economical. This 5.5 pound chicken was only nintey-nine cents per pound.
This post originally appeared on I Heart Nap Time.
I've tried the high heat methods for roasting whole chickens before. I LOVE the taste, but the smoke that fills the house is unbearable. I put the cooking fan, the house fan on and open all the windows. But it's so bad my family won't let me roast them at home any more, even though we all love it. What's the secret to avoiding this?
What kind of pan are you using? Make sure you start with a super clean oven and try moving the chicken down on a lower rack while it cooks.
Made this last night and it was delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked and very tender. So much better than a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store (and costco!). An added bonus was it looked exactly like the picture too! Thank you for sharing!
Holy cow! I just made this and it was AMAZING! Practically foolproof! It's so delicious I'm standing at the stove eating it right out of the pan!
This was soooo delicious! We LOVED it! It might have been a bit too salty, but I will adjust next time. God was it good!
Wow! The perfect chicken! I will cook chicken this way for the rest of my life!
On my goodness, this is the best method for roasting chicken! I added some coconut oil to the butter to keep it from smoking at such a hot temperature. Perfect!
Oh my gosh! I saw this recipe on Pinterest yesterday afternoon and made it last night for dinner. It was AMAZING! My husband and son absolutely loved it. The aroma it left in the house was delightful. I think I'll be cooking our whole chicken and other chicken like this from now on. I cannot wait to see how wings taste using this recipe.
Oh…it was super juicy too!
I'm so glad! Thanks for sharing!!!
Will this work with a 7 lb chicken? How long would I leave it in? Thanks!
It will! Try 10 extra minutes and check with a meat thermometer.

May 23, 2013, 11:40 a.m.
I'll think about this... Maybe we could make DolphinView::itemCanBeOpenedAsFolder(KFileItem) only check if opening the item is possible and adjust the 'protocol' of the URL somewhere else (if necessary), like in DolphinView's constructor and setUrl()? One could then also move the 'GeneralSettings::browseThroughArchives()' check out of that function - I see no reason why middle-clicking an archive should not open it even if that setting is disabled. What do you think?
Emmanuel Pescosta May 26, 2013, 11:29 a.m.
Your solution sounds great :) Moving the protocol adjustment code to DolphinView's setUrl() function makes sense.
But we need a new DolphinView::setUrl(const KFileItem& item) member function here, because we need to know the mimetype of the item to adjust the url (Look at DolphinView::itemCanBeOpenedAsFolder).
Frank Reininghaus May 27, 2013, 2:39 p.m.
I think your 'first idea' to use a function that returns the URL to be used for opening the KFileItem as a folder (or an empty URL if there is no way to open it as a folder) sounds better then. As far as I can see, there are only two places where an isEmpty() check would be needed, right? From my point of view, this looks better than having this side effect in the function returning a bool. What do you think?
Emmanuel Pescosta May 27, 2013, 2:52 p.m.
5 places ;) But we can remove some isDir() checks.
Ok I will modify the patch. How should I name this function? Maybe "openItemAsFolderUrl(const KFileItem& item)"?
Frank Reininghaus May 28, 2013, 3:34 a.m.
Yes, that sounds good. The name is a bit long, but at the moment, I can't think of a better name that makes it clear what the function is doing.
May 28, 2013, 8:29 a.m.
Replaced "bool DolphinView::itemCanBeOpenedAsFolder(const KFileItem& item, KUrl& url)" by "KUrl DolphinView::openItemAsFolderUrl(const KFileItem& item)", which returns an empty url if the item can't be opened as a folder but a valid and adjusted url if the item can be opened as a folder.
May 28, 2013, 1:16 p.m.
I haven't tested it, but this looks to me like we never arrive here when the protocol is "search:". Have you tested this?
I'm still not sure if this is the right place for the "browse through archives" settings check.
But maybe that's a matter of taste? Or is there a good reason why one should never open an archive as a folder if that setting is disabled (unless the user manually enters the URL of the archive in the location bar)? What do other people think about this?
May 28, 2013, 3:33 p.m.
Fixed all 3 mentioned issues.
May 28, 2013, 3:45 p.m.
If you wonder why I have added the "bool browseThroughArchives" with the default value "true" - We need this, because we have to call this function anyway in "DolphinViewContainer::slotItemActivated" to handle the Desktop files properly.
But the only place we take care of the browse through archives settings is in "DolphinViewContainer::slotItemActivated", all other places allow browse through archives by default.
May 29, 2013, 11:37 a.m.
Thanks, looks good from my point of view! I like your "bool browseThroughArchives" idea, probably that's the easiest solution for the issue.
Thanks for your work! I think that many people will appreciate this improvement.

Can we find quiet Australia?
My family (my husband, my two children and my parents) want to visit Australia in December 2012. My mother is older and doesn't want anything too adventurous. Her only request being that she wants to see an Australian kangaroo.
We all agree and would also like accommodation away from the bustle of big cities. We are just looking for a simple trip and wonder what the average cost would be for air-fare and lodging without any tours of such- but maybe knowing a good place to call just in case we are there we decide to take advantage of such tours.
I can appreciate that the city living might not be for everyone but there are lots of other options that will make for a wonderful trip for your family.
You really need to consider how much of Australia you want to see whilst you are here i.e. how much are you willing to travel around? A bit like the US, you need to get on a flight or spend a long time in a car to get from A to B.
Fly into Sydney and spend a couple of days here to tick off seeing the Opera House and Bridge - it would be a shame to come all this way and not see the infamous sights. Perhaps take your Mum to the Opera House for a performance and leave your husband home with the kids? I am sure she would love that.
You could stay on the outskirts of the city and then get a leisurely ferry into the city. Somewhere like Balmain would be nice as there are heaps of local restaurants right on your doorstep and a 10 minute ferry ride gets you to the Opera house or Darling Harbour.
A day trip to the Blue Mountains could be an option. From Sydney takes about an 1.5 hours in a car (heaps of organised tours available too) - this gets you into the countryside and you can head to Glenbrook and the national park here to find Kangaroos in the wild. Most tours take in a stop off at Featherdale wildlife park too which has lots of Kangaroos.
1)The Sunshine coast in Queensland - think beautiful beaches, laid back lifestyles and the famous Australia Zoo - you can see Koalas, Kangaroos, crocodiles, snakes and heaps of other very Australian animals. The kids will love it! It's a seaside holiday.
To get here you need to fly from Sydney to Marrochydore airport or the Sunshine Coast Airport (both are the same airport just different names) Jetstar and virginblue both fly these routes. Booking in advance gets you the cheapest fares - approx $90 each way per person.
Here you can take your pick. Noosa is the most popular area but the most expensive. The outskirts are cheaper e.g. Marrochydore itself for example. Hire a car so you can visit the Emundi markets, go to the zoo and visit Noosa too.
2) Go South and do the great Ocean Road and then spend some time in and around Adelaide. Adelaide is a small city but has 3 wine regions all with lovely quaint villages. From here you can also access Kangaroo Island. This is like a walking zoo - seals and penguins on the beach, koalas in the trees, platypus in the rivers and of course heaps of Kangaroos in the wild. It is totally magical and the island is small enough to get around in over just a few couple of days if you wanted to. Beautiful beaches and coastlines too with nice beaches. There is certainly more driving in this trip and perhaps less to do for the kids but the big trade off is that you will see more of Australia and its charm.
I think these would be my best recommendations. The Great Barrier Reef is another option but December is a bad month to visit - right in the middle of the rainy season which means very very hot, lots of rain and choppy crossing out to the reef. Tasmania is simply stunning and there are plenty of opportunities to see Kangaroos in their little zoos etc. But I don't think there is enough for the kids to do.
You will find accommodation from anything around $200 to $500 per night - it depends on your budget but I think this will be your cheapest option (better than hotel rooms) The other thing to consider is camping.
Most of the big campsites (THE BIG 4) have cabins that you can rent and have lots of activities for kids too. They also tend to be outside of the main towns which might suit you too.
A flight from Sydney to Adelaide should cost you about $109 each way per person. Remember that December is a very popular month so get in early to get the cheapest flights.
Barossa Valley - Quiet Australia?
Noosa Australia - will give you a feel for the Sunshine Coast, although Noosa is the most expensive part of the sunshine coast.
In terms of tours: See my page here. But once you have decided exactly where you want to go, I can advise which tours would be most appropriate.
Flights from the US to Australia are currently around $1500. You often see them advertised for $1000 but really they are hard to find at this price.
