I have been getting back into the slow cooker style of cooking to make my Sunday bulk cooks. It really helps me save some major money during the week to avoid buying $12 lunches everyday. There has been a bag of frozen chicken breasts sitting in my freezer that I got from Trader Joes about a month ago that need to be eaten soon. The frozen chicken breasts just kind of become a daunting meal because I usually don't think about them until I'm hungry, and then I really don't want to wait to defrost them. So to work with my laziness, I found a recipe that I made a few tweaks to that would let me just throw the frozen chicken breasts into the crock pot. The recipe also called for BBQ sauce, so I made my own homemade paleo BBQ sauce.
Drop all of the chicken in the crock pot.
Pour the BBQ sauce on top of the chicken. Top with the herbs and vinaigrette.
Set for 4-6 hours on low or 6-8 hours on high.
You may want to stir everything 1 or 2 times while it is cooking to make sure the sauce covers and soaks into all of the chicken.

Cèleborn (pronunciat Ke-le-born) és un personatge fictici de l'univers de J.R.R. Tolkien, la Terra Mitjana. És un elf telerin, marit de Galàdriel, i Senyor del regne de Lothlórien.

El seu paper a El Senyor dels Anells és molt reduït, sobretot si se'l compara amb el de la seva esposa Galàdriel.

El seu nom significa, literalment, arbre de plata (celeb=plata, com a celebrindal; orn=arbre, com a Fàngorn)

Biografia
L'ascendència de Cèleborn no és del tot clara, especialment perquè Tolkien no va acabar de decidir-se sobre el tema i va reescriure la seva història diverses vegades, generant nombroses contradiccions entre els texts existents.

La majoria dels escrits descriuen en Cèleborn com un elf sindarin de Dòriath, el reialme d'en Thíngol. També es menciona que era un parent d'en Thíngol. El fet que tots dos fossin família està suportat pel fet que tots dos tenen cabells de plata, un color que només es troba en la família reial dels sindar. Va ser aquest origen pel que es va decantar Cristopher Tolkien (editor i fill de l'autor) en publicar El Silmaríl·lion, i va incloure-hi un paràgraf en el text per explicar el casament. En el cas que Tolkien s'hagués acabat decantant per aquesta opció, el parentiu exacte amb en Thíngol queda sense concretar.

Un dels últims texts plantejava la possibilitat que en Cèleborn fos un elf teleri de Vàlinor, amb el nom quenya Telporno, que hauria conegut na Galàdriel abans de l'exili dels nóldor. Haurien lluitat junts contra en Fèanor i els seus fills a la matança fratricida d'Alqualondë i haurien decidit d'anar a la Terra Mitjana després. Aquesta versió resultava un canvi radical de les versions anteriors, de manera que no se sol acceptar com a correcta.

El cas és que en Cèleborn i na Galàdriel van viure a Dòriath sota l'empara del rei Thíngol i que en algun moment de la Segona Edat van governar els elfs de Lindon. Més tard fundarien el reialme de Lothlórien.

En Cèleborn va defensar el seu reialme dels atacs dels orcs durant la Guerra de l'Anell i després de repel·lir l'atac va marxar cap a la fortalesa de Dol Guldur, que va sotmetre.

La seva esposa Galàdriel va tornar a Vàlinor a la fi de la tercera edat. Ell va quedar-se un temps més a la Terra Mitjana, primer a Lórien i després traslladant-se a Rivendell, però finalment també va decidir travessar l'oceà. Amb ell, es diu, abandonava la Terra Mitjana l'últim vestigi del temps dels elfs.

Current: Battle Chasers: Nightwar Review
Battle Chasers: Nightwar Review
Garri Bagdasarov / October 2, 2017
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is based off the cult classic, short lived comic book of the same name. Developer Airship Syndicate is formed from members of the now-defunct Vigil Studios, and Battle Chasers creator and artist Joe Madureira, who worked with Vigil studios on the Darksiders franchise. Now that i've gotten a chance to play Battle Chasers: Nightwar, I can firmly say that it's one of the best crowdfunded titles I've ever played.
Nightwar begins with an airship battle where the party is attacked by bandits and ends up crashing on a mysterious island. With the party separated, you must regroup and find a way off the island. They quickly learn that the island is rich in mana resources and has been sought after for quite some time, but most who come to the island never return. The party soon discovers that a sinister plot is afoot to resurrect a demon and raise an army of dead warriors.
The story itself doesn't do much to differentiate itself from other similar tales, but Nightwars' cast of characters keeps it unique and interesting, and the amazing motion comics are also a visual joy to look at. Each of the six party members brings their own personality that plays off the others perfectly. Garrison is the strong warrior who's overly protective of Gully, a young girl who's able to wield powerful gauntlets that can destroy boulders. Calibretto is a powerful war golem, a last of his kind with a gentle heart. Knolan is a five hundred year old wise cracking wizard and Red Monika, a bounty hunter and childhood friend of Garrison. Alumon is a demon hunter who shares a lot of similarities to Gabriel Belmont from the Lords of Shadow Castlevania titles. Alumon is a new character created specifically for the game after being offered as a stretch goal to the kickstarter.
Each character is unique and plays completely different from each other. It's not like other role playing games where you will find your favorite and stick with them throughout the game. Each character in Nighwar offers a unique gameplay style and some just fit encounters better than others.
Nightwar is a dungeon crawler in the vein of Diablo and Torchlight. The combat on the other hand is traditional turn-based. The exploration is in two parts. The first comes from the overmap which has a unique pop-up book style where you'll encounter markers on the map where enemies are, towns and dungeons to enter, as well as harvesting points for crafting.
Nightwar does a great job of indicating what your destination is, and everything is fairly easy to find and explore, so I never really had any problem getting to where I needed. I just wish it was more open for me to explore how i wanted instead of following a path laid out for me like I was playing a board game. There are also plenty of teleportation devices that allow you to quickly fast travel around the overmap.
The overmap also features the only town in the game where you can buy new gear, rest at an inn, and buy potions. You can also craft new weapons and armor from the shops. You can also donate money to upgrade shops which will allow them to carry better equipment for you to buy and craft.
The other portion of exploration comes from dungeons. Dungeons are procedurally generated, so you won't encounter the same dungeon layout as you did the first time on a revisit. You'll definitely run into the same rooms, but they just won't appear in the same order or if at all when you revisit it. Each dungeon is populated with collectable notes to discover that build on the world, some very good puzzles to solve, secret rooms to discover that require certain characters, and traps to halt your progress. It's great to revisit a dungeon only to find a completely new room you never saw before that houses a cool secret. Secrets in dungeons are a thrill to find, and some take some brain power while others simply have you solving a simple puzzle.
You'll also make some unique decision about some tiny side activities within dungeons. One for example will ask you create a potion that an alchemist died trying to create all the clues to brew this potion are given to you but you must figure out how to brew it yourself if you fail to brew it it can have a negative effect on you in the dungeon or even affect something that happens deeper in. In a way, it feels like playing Dungeons & Dragons where everything that happens is up to you.
Much like dungeon crawlers like Diablo and Torchlight, you'll find loot–a lot of loot. Loot will allow you to craft new gear and potions or even upgrade the ones you have with trinkets. Gear comes in different rarity as well. Each time you enter a dungeon, you'll be able to choose its difficulty, and the higher the difficulty the better loot you'll get. If you die on the hardest difficulty of that dungeon, you'll have to start the dungeon from the beginning. On a more positive note, if you leave a dungeon for any reason whatsoever, you can return to the dungeon and pick up right where you left off, allowing you to go restock on potions or even upgrade your equipment. It's a great feature and saves you a lot of time.
Unfortunately the higher your character's levels are, each of the dungeons will be set to their initial level and you can breeze right through them. This also becomes a problem because if you want to replay an older dungeon, there really isn't any reason to, as the gear that drops will be set to that dungeon's level. So despite its rarity, the gear you get will be useless.
Combat takes a unique turn in Nightwar. You would think that combat in a game like this would be like an action-RPG, but Airship Syndicate has opted for a traditional turn-based combat system. Enemies appear throughout the dungeons and the overmap but must be run into to engage in battle. If you've played old-school Japanese role playing games, Nightwar shouldn't be much of a challenge for you to grasp. You can attack, defend, use your times, or use your abilities. What makes the combat stand out is the unique use of each ability and attack you can pull off. As you level up and unlock new abilities, you'll quickly see how much your strategy changes in encounters.
You're simple attack may do good damage but you may want to use a secondary attack that may be much weaker but increases your chance to land critical strikes for three turns. Abilities play off each other incredibly well. Instead of always focusing on doing the most powerful attacks you may want to change it up and hit an enemy with an ability that will cause them to bleed. Another ability will indicate that it will do 125 damage but will do an additional 200 damage if the enemy is bleeding. Every skill and ability is useful in the game as long as you utilize them to full effect.
The other major mechanic is the "Overcharge." Overcharge builds up if you use abilities that don't take up any ability points (AP) will build up Overcharge. Overcharge allows you to temporarily increase your AP past your maximum limit. This plays a massive role in Nightwar as it helps you use your abilities without wasting your ability points. Some skills will even use your Overcharge to cause extra damage depending on how much of it you have accumulated.
Bursts are the party's super attacks. As you battle, you will build up your burst meter which is shared between the three party members. If you choose to use your burst abilities, you can unleash a power attack or launch a great supportive burst. Each character gets three bursts that you must unlock by completing character specific side-quests.
As you level up you'll of course unlock new abilities but Nightwar also features a unique "Perk" mechanic. You gain Perk points by leveling up and reading item tomes that will grant perk points. Each character has two sections to spend on perk points, an offensive and a supportive one. You can equip perks up to the maximum the character can have. So if a character's max perk limit is 20, you can only equip perks up to twenty points.
Each perk costs different points depending on what it does. You can grab a perk that will increase your critical chance by one percent which costs two perk points or you can grab a perk that increases the amount of hit points a healing spell will grant, which can cost up to eight points. Thankfully, you can equip and unequip these perks as you see fit whenever you want.
Joe Madureira's instantly recognizable art style is mesmerizing in Nightwar. Each character is meticulously detailed, and Nightwars' animations are just as good. Madureira's distinct style accompanies the entirety of the game with great character portraits and just beautiful backgrounds and dungeons. Jesper Kyd also composes the game's soundtrack, and just like he did in Darksiders, he created a unique take on the game with softer tunes, especially in combat, that work very well. It's not my favorite of his soundtracks, but it's still pretty good.
I also want to talk about how rewarding Nightwar is. Nightwar rewards you for doing everything. If you complete a set of notes that you find in a dungeon, you will be rewarded with a tome book to increase your perk points. Even fighting enemies will give you rewards outside of exp and loot drops. Defeating a certain amount of the same enemy will net you passive abilities like increasing your attack or defense attribute by a point. Nightwar also features a fishing minigame where after catching fish you can turn into a fish mongler to get Shadow Coins to buy exclusive rare loot and character skins. Nightwar just rewards you for everything you do.
Unfortunately, Nightwar does suffer from some technical issues. Even after the day one patch, I suffered game crashes on a constant level. It always happened at random times as well: before a battle, after a battle, opening the menu. It just crashes. Other problems I encountered were cutscenes not showing even though I can hear the audio playing. The other issues are more of an annoyance. Every time you boot up the game, you have to watch the game's opening cinematic for at least ten seconds before it allows you to skip to the main menu.
I expected Battle Chasers: Nightwar to be good but I didn't expect it to be as good as it ended up. Although it does have some technical issues, they can all be fixed with a simple patch. Battle Chasers: Nightwar is easily one of the best kickstarter games i've played and i'm desperate for more.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a grand achievement from a small studio that needed a big win. It's not everyday you get to play a game that tends to reward you for everything you do. Great combat, fantastic dungeon exploration, incredible visuals and a great soundtrack. Battle Chasers: Nightwar hits all the marks

Hello, just signed up for a Hostek account and need to migrate a DB from an old VPS hosting provider. I have about 20 tables and some tables have thousands of rows. Are there good instructions on how to first backup my DB via SQL Server Management Studio and then take the backup file and restore it to the SQL version on Hostek either through SQL Server Management Studio or the Hostek DB tools they provide.
I can backup the file onto my local machine, but then when I go to my DB on Hostek and try to "restore from disk" using SQL Management Studio, I get a permissions denied.
I don't even know if you can backup/restore across different editions of MS SQL so don't want to waste hours if it can't be done.
I'd prefer not to import tables using Excel which is what I have done in the past. It takes hours to clean up the files to get them to import into a empty DB table.

2020 NFL Draft: Five most underrated draft prospects
By Matt Johnson
Dec 7, 2019; Arlington, TX, USA; Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Jalen Hurts (1) celebrates with fans after the game against the Baylor Bears in the 2019 Big 12 Championship Game at AT&T Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
The 2020 NFL Draft is around the corner with NFL general managers and scouts rankings their top draft prospects on their boards. While the top players get all the attention, the 2020 class also offers some intriguing prospects that offer exciting NFL potential and flying under the radar.
A few of the most underrated prospects in this draft class will likely hear their names called in the third round at the earliest. While they're very impressive players, a deep pool of talent in the 2020 class pushes them down draft boards. For other unheralded prospects, questions about their talent translating to the NFL after dominating at smaller programs hurts their stock.
As we've seen with the likes of Austin Ekeler, who just signed a huge extension, Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews and edge rusher Matthew Judon, it's not always about where you're drafted. Great talent emerges from Day 2 and 3 of the NFL Draft every year. We'll see that once again from this 2020 class thanks to a few prospects that are flying under the radar.
We already looked at five top prospects that could fall on draft day. Now, here are the five most underrated draft prospects from the 2020 NFL Draft class.
Jalen Hurts, quarterback, Oklahoma Sooners
We've detailed what makes Hurts a special player before. It takes a great player to win at a historic program and speaks volumes to that player's ability to lead a team and their talent. In Hurts case, he did it twice by winning at Alabama and coming up clutch for the Crimson Tide then dominating the Big 12 with the Oklahoma Sooners.
The NFL cares even more about the future, which is why Hurts should be coveted. He blew away teams at the NFL Combine with incredible touch on his passes, showed that his throwing mechanics and footwork are improving and continues to make incredible strides in his game. Oh, Hurts is also an incredible athlete and brings a competitive fire that few can match. Evaluators already know he's talented and NFL coaches will see a player who they can mold into becoming a franchise quarterback without having to spend a first-round pick on him.
Troy Pride Jr., cornerback, Notre Dame Fighting Irish
NFL teams want defensive backs with tantalizing size and speed because those things can't be taught. Those are the skills that, with the right coaching, can help a player excel in one-on-one coverage at the next level. The top corners in this draft are impact talents who bring that all to the table immediately. Pride can be that kind of player in the NFL and he offers greater value because of his expected draft spot.
There are some things that the former Fighting Irish star needs to work on. Most notably, he recorded just four interceptions across four seasons at Notre Dame and that brings his ball skills into question. NFL coaches will also need to work with him on his technique and bring out more of an aggressiveness from him. He might hear his name called in the fourth round, which could be an absolute steal three years from now and even the immediate impact will be worth it.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire, running back, LSU Tigers
At a time when NFL teams desperately want to add a multi-dimensional running back, Edwards-Helaire is still underrated. While he's small (5-foot-8) for his position, teams like his receiving skills so much that they asked him to work out as a receiver at the NFL Combine. He brings plenty of skills as a runner, too.
Edwards-Helaire didn't blow fans away in the 40-yard dash with a 4.60 time, but that's not his game. He is powerful, knows how to find holes and is wickedly elusive. While some question his breakaway speed, he made plenty of big plays at LSU. Get him the football in space and he'll make things happen. Don't be surprised if he becomes a star at the next level and someone that fantasy football owners love.
Jeremy Chinn, safety, Southern Illinois Salukis
The pre-draft process is critical for prospects from small-school programs to shine. After dominating at the lower level throughout their career, the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine offer them a chance to prove they can compete with players from the SEC and Big 12.
Chinn drew little attention at Southern Illinois, but that changed during his draft preparation. He blew teams away at the Senior Bowl, then showed up for the combine and displayed incredible athleticism. The 6-foot-3 hybrid safety can line up deep or even play as a cover linebacker. He will be limited to a role on passing downs to begin his NFL career as coaches work with him to develop his fundamentals. Once he develops, Chinn could be remembered as one of the biggest steals from the 2020 NFL Draft.
James Morgan, quarterback, Florida International Panthers
Morgan is one of the best stories in the NFL Draft as detailed here. He grew up in Green Bay idolizing Brett Favre and modeling his game after the Hall of Famer. Morgan went to Bowling Green for a few seasons then got the chance he was waiting for at Florida International. Now, the 23-year-old is one of the most underrated prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft. However, everything about Morgan's game requires projection.
He has the instincts, mentality and the pure arm strength that all great quarterbacks possess. He also carries the rare confidence in his arm and a willingness to attempt throws that few others would. Morgan must refine his mechanics, learn how to read a defense and work on his ball placement and velocity. He was one of the most popular prospects among teams at the combine and impressed teams in the interview room. Morgan is easily worth a draft pick and could be the perfect developmental quarterback for teams thinking about their future.

Everything worked smoothly and was pleased that I didn't have to wait too long to be picked up at Terminal 2. All the staff were cheerful and helpful.
Easy and professional, quick service.
Everything ok , no problem at all. Pick up bus there waiting. Good service would use again.
We flew back from Berlin on BA0986, which was diverted to Luton because of a combination of a false fire-alarm at Heathrow, where we were marooned for five hours by BA's catastrophic IT glitches and terrible service. We were finally dropped off by coach back at LHR T5 at midnight from a flight due to land there at 14.35, but the staff were wonderful at Purple and we were reunited with our Tiguan without delay. It was such a pleasure to be treated so well by Purple Parking.
Very efficient check in and collection. Just a bit frustrating having to wait 30 mins for a bus now it is not "on demand". We just missed one, and the next arrived 20 mins later, but then waited at the stop for a further 10 minutes.
The directions to the Purple Parking car park were very good. The gentleman on the gate was very helpful and courteous and quickly identified and corrected for me the transposed letters (my mistake) in my car registration number. He clarified for us the arrangements for our return. Due to extremely busy traffic when we landed there was a slightly longer wait than expected fort the bus on the way back but once on board the short trip back to the car park and collecting our car were very smooth. We would be happy to use this service again. Thank you.
There appears to be a problem clicking onto your stars above. However, I would give Purple Parking 5 stars. I have used them regularly and they are always reliable and efficient.
Always an excellent service from drop off to airport and return.
This car park is the hardest to find. I read through instructions and could not find the place. I used both postcode and address, separately and together and ended up near Syon Park, MILES away from the actual car park. If you can find the place then the distance to airport and bus service was good.
I have used this car park several times. The service is always smooth and efficient.
Efficient service and pleasant staff. Quick pick up at airport and car waiting for us on return.
Number on notice board is wrong and the bus only runs about every 40 mins. On top of that if you think you are close to terminal 5 your not. For me never again.
Have used Purple Parking many times. Always consistent in providing a very efficient and reliable experience.
Excellent, efficient service. Transfers both ends were quick and hassle free. They run a good system. Take photos of your car on entry to cover both you and them. Collection upon return was simple and all the staff especially the transfer drivers were top class.
Everything went well. The booking that was made on line was easy to complete and the confirmation followed promptly. Furthermore, the parking, transfer to and transfer back from the airport also went very smoothly and there were no delays.
A very good place to park but took some finding! The sat nav directions were wrong, but we were warned about this quite correctly. However the address is also difficult to find entering the address minus the post code. Much easier to say it is next to the Premier Inn close to Heathrow airport on Bath Road. How about a map? As for the parking, it was easy, quick and efficient. Maybe having a hand to load heavy cases into the trailer would have been appreciated? The car was ready for us on return. Well done.
Follow the printed out instructions to get there and you will be fine (put in address NOT postcode to SATNAV). Return was a problem. When ringing to let them know that you are off the plane (so they can prepare you car for you) you do not speak to a human, you have to type in three sets of answers: booking ref; agree to car reg; type in terminal number... surely the booking ref links the other two? Made more difficult when you are walking with suitcase etc. I was at the bus stop by the time I had worked it all out!! Arrival at the car park there was a massive queue to get in, so we had to wait some 10 mins before our keys were returned. There are other car parks around, but not advertised through FHR.
Quick check in and only 5 minutes wait on my way back Very good!
Easy, quick ,would definitely recommend.
Parking was easy to find - HOWEVER a warning that you cross a bus lane on entry to the carpark would be a great help. Bus drivers were not at all helpful in loading and unloading customer's bags into the trailer.
Prompt check in, Good drop off and pick up service!

The next feature update for Xbox One is available for everyone now
By Rich Woods Senior Editor for North America Neowin @@TheRichWoods · May 17, 2018 11:14 EDT · Hot! with 3 comments
It was just over a month ago that Microsoft announced the next feature update for the Xbox ONe family of consoles, version 1805. It's been in testing with Insiders since then, but today, the update is available for everyone, according to Microsoft's Brad Rossetti.
Xbox One Insiders - Thank you for fighting 1805, today we release that build to all users and we start a new journey next week!
— Brad Rossetti (@WorkWombatman) May 17, 2018
One major new feature is that you can now set your refresh rate to 120Hz, but only if your resolution is set to 1080p or 1440p. You can't do it at 4K, and that's a limit of the HDMI 2.0 spec.
Users can now organize their pinned apps and games into Groups. They'll show up in My Games & Apps, Home, and the Guide, and you can add them wherever you want in those areas. Moreover, Groups sync to your Microsoft account, so they'll sync to other consoles that you're signed into.
In the Guide, users can now trim game clips, meaning that you no longer have to switch to the Upload Studio. There are also better parental controls with a Details page in the setting.
Finally, Microsoft made some changes to button commands. You can press the View button to change and reorder items on the Home screen, and in the Guide, pressing View will show you additional options.
Xbox One version 1805 has been available since 8am Pacific Time, so you can grab it now.

I see folks with regular-sized chickens and bantams mixed together all the time. Is it wise? Do they get along? Can the larger chickens hurt the bantams? What is the best setting to mix different size chickens, if you do? Let's face it, chickens are a lot more complicated creatures than folks give them credit for being. Their social order and even the personality of the flock could be a factor.
The wisdom seems to come in the way small and large chickens alike are brought together. Twice now, I've had regular size and bantams raised from chicks together and they do just fine. They get along, they share their roost, food, water and treats with just the usual amount of chicken scuffles. Rose & Violet, my Black Copper Marans who were raised with my silkies, Poppy & Daffodil, even choose to sleep in my silkies' coop sometimes instead of with the bigger girls.
I believe some of the wisdom of it also comes from the amount of space your chickens share. Do they get to free range? Are they confined to a large or small run? Are they crammed into a coop that's too small to sleep at night? How many are there together? These are questions I would advise asking yourself when chicken math hits and you want to combine your chicken sizes. Additionally, what is the personality of your flock? Do you have some wicked hens or maybe a mean rooster? Do treats bring out the worst in your feather babies?
My problem comes when I try to integrate the bantams with other larger chickens in the whole flock. Even though I've tried putting the bantams in with tried and true integration methods, some of my hens are just plain mean. I realize the pecking order is a great part of the larger girls picking on the smaller girls but I'm not up for chicken blood baths on a continual basis. That's not to say that some bantams don't "rule the roost" because they do, it just hasn't been my experience. I've even built a large 35×10 covered day run with doors that open individually into it to keep all the arguments to a minimum but I have found that not only do I need to keep my older girls separate from the rest of the flock, I also need to keep my silkies safe as well.
them be with the big girls.
Yes, larger chickens can hurt the bantams because they have size on their side. It's not to say they definitely will but they can. When I had a couple of bantam white-crested black polish hens and now, I have my two silkies , they are not only small but also have top knot feathers that obscure their view which makes staying out the way a little harder.
So is there a magic formula for mixing regular size chickens with bantams? No. It is best to experiment with your flock according to how much space you have, if they were raised together, do they free range, are they confined, the number of chickens in your flock and even the personality of your flock.
My grandmother raised chickens for decades on her farm, several hundred hens at any given moment and she ALWAYS had a few bantams in the flock. Never any problems at all.
My first order of 25 included 4 frizzle bantams. 2 were the only roosters. Those roosters ruled the big girls.
Right now I've one little girl who is in with the big girls (Delawares). She's from 2/2008 and has began laying again.
Sometimes it's the breed or individual chicken. My Delaware are fine with the little ones. Though I did have a young rooster who I just got rid of. He was not so nice, nor was the young Maran. However the one rooster I kept never bothers the little ones even newborn chicks.
I have large and bantams (including a silkie and frizzle) mixed together with 2 rabbits and they all get along. I was concerned at first that my huge frizzle rooster might hurt the bantam chicks but he ignores them.
I raised both together. I started with bantams then added 12, month old Rhode Island Reds, later added 6 White baby ducks and a few months later 25 white day old chicks. They all got along fine and slept in the chicken coop at night. One of the Little Bantam hens adopted the ducks as her own. I live in town now and really miss my chickens.


KIGALI, RWANDA, FEBRUARY 20, 2007 —Today, TechnoServe officially launched a new initiative to revitalize the Rwandan coffee industry, allowing us to resume work in the country after a 12-year hiatus caused by the civil war.
Rwandans face many challenges in their struggle to recover from the 1990s civil war and genocide. One thing working in their favor is that their country boasts ideal coffee-growing conditions. Nevertheless, most coffee farmers are just barely scraping by, hampered by inefficient agricultural practices and poor logistics. Now, thanks to a generous gift by a small group of private donors, TechnoServe is helping the farmers capitalize on this opportunity and create a sustainable economic base that will improve the standard of living for their families and communities, while also bringing much-needed foreign exchange earnings into the country.
TechnoServe aims to reposition Rwanda as a leading producer of specialty coffee by helping turn coffee cooperatives (representing 12,000 farmers) into professionally-run businesses. Our business advisors will teach business skills and help farmers boost production and improve quality, for example by assisting cooperatives to set up and operate coffee washing stations. The end result should be almost a doubling of the farmers' income in four years.


You and your neighbor both access the street through a driveway which is located on the neighbor's property.
To confirm your right to use the driveway, your neighbor has provided you with an easement approved by your FOS attorney.
Now that the easement is recorded, you're done, right?
Under an often overlooked Wisconsin statute, an easement must be reaffirmed every 40 years or its enforcement rights will be lost.
Section 893.33(6) does two things. It states that actions to enforce easements can be brought for 40 years after the easement's recording.
It also provides that a re-recording of the easement within the 40-year period will allow an action to be filed for 40 years from the re-recording.
This means that if no action is taken in those four decades, your rights in an easement—your driveway access—will be lost.
This is true, according to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, even if you purchased the property during the easement's lifespan, did not know about the statute, and/or used the easement after its statutory expiration without objection.
But if you re-record the easement 39 years after its first recording, your practical enforcement period will be extended 40 years after that re-recording.
So, those with easement rights should be sure to re-record any easements affecting their property within 40 years (even earlier is better) after the most recent recording or re-recording of that easement.
40 years is a long time. Why bother?
Because you may buy a piece of property to which an easement was recorded 35 years prior. Then, you would only have five years to act before losing easement rights.
Or, you may own a piece of land which you intend to remain in your family for generations. You can only protect your family's easement rights by re-recording any easements as required.
If you benefit from (or are subject to) an easement and have questions regarding its viability, contact your FOS attorney.

Q: Applications of the Closed graph theorem In functional analysis a famous theorem states that: if $X, Y$ are Banach spaces and $T: X \to Y$ is a linear operator, $T$ is continous if and only if the graph $\Gamma_T:={(x,Tx), x \in X}$ is closed in the product topology. Do you know some nice application of this theorem? Thank you!!

A: "Continuity of a linear map $T:\mathscr X\to\mathscr Y$ means that if $x_n \to x$, then $T(x_n) \to T(x)$, whereas closedness means that if $x_n\to x$ and $T(x_n) \to y$ then $y = T(x)$. Thus the significance of the closed graph theorem is that in verifying that $T(x_n) \to T(x)$ when $x_n \to x$, we may assume that $T(x_n)$ converges to something, and we need only to show that the limit is the right thing. This frequently saves a lot of trouble." (Folland, 1999, p. 163)

A: *

*It is always stated at the beginning when one introduces theory of
unbounded operators, to justify that a closed linear operator $A
    \colon Dom(A) \subset X \rightarrow Y$ such that $Dom(A) = X$ is
bounded; which in fact is just a reformulation of CGT.

*There is an elementary proof of the fact that for any algebraic
isomorphism  $\pi \colon \mathcal{A} \rightarrow \mathcal{B}$
between standard operator algebras $\mathcal{A} $ and $\mathcal{B}$
over normed spaces $X$ and $Y$, respectively, there is a linear
continuous isomorphism $T\colon X \rightarrow Y$ such that $$ \pi(A)
    = TAT^{-1} \ \ \text{for all} A \in \mathcal{A}.$$ In particular, $\pi$ is continuous. It uses CGT.
The proof can be found here

*You might also want to look at LINK.

*An article about CGT in various categories is also interesting and can be found Here.

As I may have mentioned I teach Head Start. I had taught private church run preschools in the past, but had taken several years off to work in healthcare. I started with Head Start at the end of last school year. Boy was I out of practice. I had lost what "flow" I had for doing circle time (calendar time) and the children could tell. They were unengaged, uninterested and unimpressed with this new teacher that stepped into their room. I vowed that this year would be better.
Whats the weather like today.
The weather person tells me what the weather is and as they are adding the appropriate pic to our weekly graph I chart the monthly graph and we sing.
And sunny is the weather.
I think I got this from CanTeach If I really got it from you, I apologize. Please let me know so I can credit it to you.
This is what the weather graphing area looks like. I have the picture cards stored in envelopes with a picture of whats inside on the outside. I have 2 of everything, because I have a morning and afternoon class. I do the same routine everyday...twice a day.
Here is a close up of the monthly weather graph.
This is a close up of our weekly weather graph.
Next we move on to Letter of the week. They tell me what the letter is and we try to tie it back to our theme. An example is, this week's letter is V and we talked about Veterinarians. Then the number, we clap it and also talk about something related to our theme. This weeks was the number 2 and we talked about pets with only 2 legs. Then its Shape of the week. I like to name the shape and the describe it. This week was a square. Everyone pointed out the 4 sides, but I mentioned a rectangle also has 4 sides. This lead to a discussion about the word equal. Color of the week is Black and we counted how many of us are wearing black and then we graph it. The above picture was taken last week, just so you don't think I don't know the difference between a u and a V.
Next up the calendar helper tells me the month, date and day. Shew finally time to talk about the lesson of the week. I sit in the floor with them and we have a discussion about the topic. Lots of what if's, why, and how come, gets asked in my room.
All in all this takes maybe 10-15 minutes.


Both Open and Amateur – Intro through First, 2nd and 3rd Levels, and then 4th and Above.
San Diego was the perfect place to be on May 22 for the AHA Region 1 Championship Show. The McGinnis Training Center barn came home with numerous championships, reserve championships and all around great rides against some good competition! The full results will be posted on the Results page. The weather was absolutely perfect, the sea breeze kept everyone cool. During the morning hours the young horses breezing next door on the Del Mar track were pretty exciting to the dressage horses! It was another great day riding, congratulations to everyone and their ponies!
had a great time participating in horse and rider games of all kinds.

Your Book of Paperfolding by Vanessa and Eric de Maré, 1968
'Your Book of Paperfolding' by Vanessa and Eric de Maré was published by Faber and Faber in London in 1968 as part of their 'Your Books' series. It is really a compendium of designs taken from other published works, largely without acknowledgement, and contains no original material. However the clarity of the diagrams is to be admired.
Eric de Maré was a famous architectural photographer, and his name may have been included on the book for just that reason. His wife Vanessa drew the diagrams for the book, which is the bulk of the work.
The majority of the designs are said to be traditional Japanese or Chinese models. Not all of these atrributions are accurate.
Two designs are attributed to Samuel Randlett and another, probably inaccurately, to Florence Temko.
The Catherine of Cleves Box is attributed to John Smith but this is clearly an error. The introduction speaks of 'the Gift Box, which we learned from a friend'.
A full version of this work can be viewed here.
The Introduction says that in Japan 'The simple folded object is considered to be superior to that which is cut or glued.' However, the authors do not appear to have taken this philosophy on board.
Chinese Knight's Helmet - The Kabuto
Rabbit - The Japanese Rabbit
Said to be Japanese Traditional
Sailing Boat - The Yacht
Elephant (Cut)
Attributed to Florence Temko, USA. This attribution seems to be a misunderstanding of information in Harbin's 'Secrets of Origami' which attributed a way of folding this design (rather than the design itself) to Florence Temko. Note also that Vanessa Mare's diagrams do not explain the folding method attributed to Florence Temko in Harbin's book.
Japanese Woman (Cut)
(Note that in Harbin's 'Secrets of Origami' this design is attributed to Okimasa (Kosho) Uchiyama.)

Rebecca Marois named new president, CEO of Greater Gardner Chamber of Commerce
Marois began working at the Chamber in 2021
Stephen Landry
Gardner News
GARDNER – The Greater Gardner Chamber of Commerce has new leadership.
The organization's board of directors announced that Rebecca Marois has been appointed to the position of president and CEO of the nonprofit, which is dedicated to building a strong local economy in the seven communities it covers.
Marois takes over the reins from Michael Gerry, who served as the interim president and CEO for the past two years.
"I am extremely honored and proud to be named (to the position)," said Marois, who started with the Chamber in 2021 in the role of member relationship coordinator. She was then promoted in January 2022 to the position of director of marketing and communications.

"One thing people should know about me is that I am very passionate about my role," Marois said. "If you are in need of help or assistance, to not be afraid to reach out to me – that is what I'm here for. I truly want the best for our members and the community."
Marois, who currently serves on the board of directors for the Wachusett Business Incubator, has a background in business management, customer service, event planning, fundraising, marketing and sales, according to Chamber officials.
Marois eager to bring new programs, benefits to Chamber members
"I am working on providing our members with new programs and benefits and revamping some of our old ones," Marois explained. "I am currently in the process of hiring an assistant to help me accomplish this."
Stacie Kazinskas, who is a member of the Chamber's board of directors and serves on the Event Coordinating Committee, said she has been working with Marois for over a year.
"Since starting at the Chamber, Rebecca has been the utmost professional and has seemed to truly enjoy being a part of the Chamber," Kazinskas said. "I expect that she will continue to support new and active businesses while she continues to learn more and more about our community. She is driven and has a 'no fear' or 'yes, let's do that' mentality which is very refreshing these days!"
Community Planning and Development Director Trevor Beauregard, who is also a member of the Chamber board, said it was critical for the Chamber to have a permanent President/CEO on board to ensure its short and long-term sustainability.
"I do know that Rebecca has gone above and beyond in her previous position with the Chamber, so it doesn't surprise me that the Chamber Executive Committee has given her this opportunity to advance within the organization," Beauregard said.

Marois takes over Chamber leadership at a time when the region is seeing a number of renovation projects and new businesses moving into the area. In particular, the proposed Gardner Revitalization Project has city officials and businessowners anticipating a real estate boom for both commercial and residential markets in the city.
"Downtown Gardner is up and coming," Marois said. "It is very exciting to see all of the businesses coming in. I see only great things coming for the future of Gardner."
More:Iconic downtown building ready for tenants, possibly a restaurant
Chamber began as a business organization in 1898
The Chamber traces its beginnings as a business organization to 1898, when its main focus was on Downtown Gardner and the furniture industry. In 1957, it officially became known as the Greater Gardner Chamber of Commerce and offered active participation to businesses outside of the Chair City. Today, the Chamber also serves the communities of Ashburnham, Barre, Hubbardston, Templeton, Westminster, and Winchendon.
The Chamber is a private, nonprofit organization that relies on the financial investment of its membership to provide all of its services and programs. Chamber membership is voluntary and open to any business, profession, or organization.

Solid Q4 Sales Results Show GM Is on the Right Track
Adam Levine-Weinberg, The Motley Fool
Motley Fool January 8, 2019
Last week, General Motors (NYSE: GM) reported that it closed out 2018 with a second consecutive decline in its quarterly domestic sales. This gave it just shy of 3 million deliveries in the U.S. for the full year, down 1.6% compared to 2017.
However, the pace of decline was far less severe than in the third quarter, when GM recorded an 11.1% plunge in its domestic vehicle deliveries. Furthermore, sales are stable or growing for most of GM's most important models, which points to the wisdom of the company's recent decision to pare down its model lineup.
The General closes the books on another solid year
GM delivered 785,229 vehicles in the U.S. last quarter, down 2.7% year over year. The mass-market Chevrolet brand and the upscale Cadillac brand both posted sales declines roughly in line with the corporate average. Buick was the main laggard, posting a double-digit decline in deliveries, while GMC bucked the overall trend with a 3.5% gain.
For the full year, Buick's domestic deliveries fell 5.6%, while the other three brands all posted declines of roughly 1%.
Lots of moving parts were involved in GM's sales performance last quarter, but the main driver of its sales decline was falling demand for traditional passenger cars. Combined deliveries of the Chevy Spark, Sonic, Cruze, Malibu, and Impala models plummeted by nearly 30,000 units compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, more than explaining the 21,510-unit decline in GM's total deliveries.

Here's what's working
While GM's domestic sales are declining, its crossovers and trucks are thriving. For the full year, crossover deliveries rose 7%, while pickup deliveries increased 3% -- even though GM was selling prior-generation Chevy Silverados and GMC Sierras for most of the year.
The GMC Terrain, Chevy Equinox, and Chevy Traverse models -- all completely redesigned for the 2018 model year -- logged particularly strong sales growth. These are GM's three top-selling crossovers, together accounting for 20% of its domestic deliveries last year.
The Equinox is the highest-volume model, with 332,618 deliveries in 2018, up 14.5% year over year. This allowed it to gain ground on Toyota Motor's (NYSE: TM) segment-leading RAV4, which achieved a 4.8% sales increase last year, with 427,170 deliveries in the U.S. Nearly half the Equinox's growth for the year came in the fourth quarter, when deliveries surged 26.4%.
Meanwhile, the GMC Terrain -- which is essentially a slightly upscale version of the Equinox -- posted a stellar 65% sales gain last quarter and a 33.8% increase for the full year. In fact, if the two siblings are considered together, deliveries reached 446,932 units in 2018, surpassing those of the Toyota RAV4.
Simplifying the model lineup makes sense
In late November, GM announced that it would drop six passenger car models from its U.S. vehicle lineup this year. The company's recent sales results show that this was the right decision.
For 2018 as a whole, cars represented just 23% of GM's domestic sales mix -- even though the company sells 15 different car models in the U.S., representing about 40% of its nameplates. By contrast, Toyota sold about 30% more passenger cars in the U.S. last year despite having fewer models. In fact, the Camry, Corolla, and Prius together outsold all 15 GM car models combined.
The situation is reversed for crossovers, SUVs, and trucks. The Toyota and Chevrolet brands both have nine nameplates across those categories -- depending on how you count, anyway -- but Chevy's domestic deliveries were 16% higher last year. The launch of the new Chevy Blazer crossover right at the end of the year could widen Chevrolet's lead in 2019.
The upshot is that GM has a competitive advantage in crossovers, SUVs, and trucks -- not cars. Its proliferation of car nameplates hasn't made it more successful in that part of the market. GM should be able to recapture the lost sales volume from paring down its car lineup pretty quickly, mainly by continuing to grow in the crossover market. In the long run, that's likely to be far more profitable than the status quo.

Analysis: News Corp's Irish interests now range from the 'Sun' to Storyful to FM104
Deal to buy Wireless radio stations extends Rupert Murdoch's influence in Ireland
Thu, Jun 30, 2016, 18:26

Rupert Murdoch, the 85-year-old media mogul worth an estimated $11 billion, (€9.6bn) will substantially increase his interests in Ireland if the takeover of Belfast's Wireless Group by News Corp is cleared by various regulators.
The group was drawn to Wireless, the company that was created from the ashes of UTV Media plc after it sold its television channels to ITV, by TalkSport. The football-tastic radio station in Britain that was originally set up by former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie is a very nice asset indeed.
The acquisition means News Corp's UK and Ireland publishing business, which trades as News UK, can cross-promote TalkSport, which has live radio rights to English Premier League matches and other football rights, with the digital services of its newspaper titles. These carry online and mobile Premier League video clips through a distribution agreement with rights-holder Sky.
As News Corp chief executive Robert Thomson put it, "We believe the businesses together can be far more than the sum of their parts."
Side-effect
A side-effect of the deal is that Murdoch's company now adds six radio stations in the Republic - FM104 and Q102 in Dublin, LMFM in Louth and Meath, Cork's 96FM and C103, and Live95FM in Limerick - as well as Belfast's U105.8FM to his publishing interests here.

Succession and the Murdochs: Tighten your shoelaces for the next twist in the family saga
News UK publishes an Irish edition of the Sun, which has a circulation of about 58,000, while print sales of the Sunday Times stand at about 80,000, according to Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) figures for the second-half of 2015. The company also launched a digital Ireland edition of The Times last year.
In late 2013, News Corp also bought the Dublin-based social news agency Storyful, founded by Mark Little, for €18 million.
Murdoch and his family own about 14 per cent of News Corp but control about 39 per cent of the voting shares, while a similar dual-class share structure applies at sister company 21st Century Fox, which owns the movie studio 20th Century Fox and 39 per cent of European satellite broadcaster Sky.
Sky is the largest pay-TV provider in Ireland, according to figures from research company Nielsen, while it also sells broadband and telephone services, employing about 900 people in Dublin.
News Corporation, which was split into two companies, News Corp and 21st Century Fox, in 2013, had previously tried to buy all of Sky (then known as BSkyB), but the bid, which faced political opposition at Westminster, was abandoned in the wake of the phone hacking scandal at the News of the World.
Irish radio
Employees at the Irish radio stations may not have expected to find themselves part of such a large media empire, and it is not yet clear what impact the change in owner will have on their day-to-day operations.
Their fortunes have not been so wonderful of late, with analysts at Davy Research noting in April that they did not expect the Wireless stations in Ireland to participate in an Irish radio advertising recovery this year.
But notwithstanding this and some more intense competition in the Cork market, the stations have maintained either decent or strong listenerships in their franchise area: FM104, for example, is the second most-listened to station in Dublin behind RTÉ Radio 1, with an 11.5 per cent market share in the capital.
When Murdoch dropped into the offices of the Irish Sun in 2012, he was shown how to swing a hurl by its then editor. Wireless employees may not have the opportunity to prepare their own welcome for the octogenarian, but some of his key lieutenants in News UK are likely to pay a visit soon.

Butler's Science, Technology, and Society Program (STS) provides students rich experience in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities through a rigorous yet flexible curriculum and practical application. USM's School of Nursing Convocation awards students who have completed the degree program in The College of Science, Technology and Health (CSTH). Our ability to provide a voice for scientists and engineers and to advance science depends on the support from individuals like you.
Scientists used their knowledge to develop technology and then used technology to develop Science; so, because of this reason science and technology are an integrated term in today's world. Today, knowledge is a virtue and it has ushered in several scientific and technological developments that have deep legal, social and ethical implications.
The converse impact of technology on science is of at least equal importance: (1) through providing a fertile source of novel scientific questions and thereby also helping to justify the allocation of resources needed to address these questions in an efficient and timely manner, extending the agenda of science; (2) as a source of otherwise unavailable instrumentation and techniques needed to address novel and more difficult scientific questions more efficiently.
The Science, Technology, and Society (STS) program supports research that uses historical, philosophical, and social scientific methods to investigate the intellectual, material, and social facets of the scientific, technological, engineering and mathematical (STEM) disciplines.

Igt Slot Machine Locator
Igt Slot Machine Locator – The Global Gaming Expo (G2E) took place in Las Vegas last week, marking the return of the world's largest gaming R&D and manufacturing convention to a live setting after the 2020 edition was canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The latest and greatest technological advances were on display for the world's casino operators to see how they plan to bring games that people will play to their properties and give them a competitive edge in their expanding market.
Executives are looking not only for products to improve land-based casinos, but also the fast-growing digital gaming sector, as well as the fastest-growing component of the gaming industry – sports betting.

This year, the theme was "Game Time," a most fitting title considering the fact that IGT was showcasing its 25th anniversary celebration of Wheel of Fortune® slot machines.
IGT's quarter-century partnership with Sony Pictures Television on Wheel of Fortune slots has been a model for the global gaming industry to see how licensed brands can translate into a seemingly endless array of slot themes.
Combining the enduring popularity of the game show itself with the images of its co-hosts Pat Sajak and Vanna White, IGT has somehow managed to continue to develop products that capture the imagination of casino patrons.
No fewer than 25 Wheel of Fortune-themed machines were on display in the G2E IGT room, including 13 never-before-seen titles in both mechanical reel and video formats.
The Key To Finding The Best Slot Machine Payback Percentages
Of particular interest to attendees was IGT's latest franchise, the Wheel of Fortune High Roller™, housed in the company's new super-sized Peak65 enclosure, which features a 65-inch progressively curved display and state-of-the-art graphics, sound and ergonomic technology. The device is over 10 feet tall.

Again capitalizing on the popularity of another of the longest-running game shows in television history, IGT has developed new models for the game show's iconic mini-games, including Plinko, Showcase Showdown, Big Wheel and Range Game.

Pinball Slot Machine By Igt


It has all the ingredients of the next lucrative investment – or a scam.
Depending on who you talk to, either Emgoldex Philippines is your next ticket to financial freedom, as what the solicitors are claiming; or it is your next train ride to poverty.
But it is what Multitel did in 2001.
It is what FrancSwiss did in 2007.
It is what Aman Futures did in 2012.
And it is what Emgoldex is doing right now.
The apparent Dubai-based firm recruits investors to buy gold online and pays bonuses for referring friends and acquaintances.
Emgoldex has such the same enticing pitch as what its forebearers had. Emgoldex Philippines is promising high returns: for example, a P1,000 ($22.61) investment would earn profits ranging from P5,000 ($113.05) to P10,000 ($226.11) or a P35,000 ($791.40) would return P180,000 ($4,070.04) to P360,000 (8,139.77).
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) already warned the public against investing their money in Emgoldex Philippines, as it is not a registered corporation or partnership.
SEC stressed Emgoldex Philippines is not authorized to solicit investments from the public as it did not secure prior registration and/or a license or permit to solicit investments from the commission as required under Section 8.1 of the Securities Regulation Code.
Generally, a scam can be classified into either Ponzi or pyramid.
At a glance, there is little difference between the two. Both are designed to fool unsuspecting (read: ignorant), or greedy investors into investing their money in exchange for hefty rewards.
The Ponzi scheme is named after the Italian immigrant Charles Ponzi who originated this type of scam. In a Ponzi type of investment, the solicitor, usually labelled as a financial expert, would solicit money from investors with the promise of extraordinary returns paid out in regular intervals. At the end of the contract period, the investor would get his principal back. This ruse encourages the investor to reinvest his money. After all, the solicitor made good on his promise.
What the investor did not know is that the money the solicitor paid him was from other investors and what he is paying the other investors is money solicited from other investors again. Trouble comes when he is paying out more than he is bringing in. By then, he simply collects the remaining money and disappears – forever.
In a pyramid scheme, however, the investor is required to recruit other investors, who in turn will recruit other investors. The amount paid is given to his recruiter. He will be able to recoup his investment through the other recruits he can bring in for the company.
Oftentimes, the investment will be justified as purchases for some revolutionary product; and the amount is but a small sum to partake of. In time, the pyramid will collapse as there are only a finite number of people who can join this scheme.
The basic tenet in investing is the higher the return, the higher the risk as well. High returns do not constitute a scam, but if the solicitor promises you such guaranteed returns with absolutely no risk – and bets his entire life savings on it – turn him down.
All businesses and investments require a certain degree of risk. The only thing guaranteed here is that you will lose your money in the end. Remember the caveat: If it is too good to be true, then it probably is.
You would often hear jargon as part of their explanation on how they make money. The premise is that the more highfalutin the words are, or the more complex a product is, the more unconvincing the investment is.
If the solicitor cannot translate his methodology or product in layman's term, then he is more likely covering something up. Most of the time, people are afraid to ask questions. Do not be afraid. It is your money at stake.
Scammers will try to coax you into investing now. They will not allow you to "think about it".
They will tell a (probably fictitious) story of how another person, who was pretty much in the same predicament as you, found a jackpot in this investment scheme. And that if he could rise out of poverty, then so could you.
Worse, they do not have any physical office. Even if they do, it is somewhere where no one could verify its authenticity – even with Google maps.
Under Philippine law, a legitimate partnership or corporation should be duly registered with SEC. Also, any solicitation of funds from the public should have a license to do so under Section 8.1 of the Securities Regulation Code. Even their solicitors need to have a specific license to offer their investment.
The purpose of being registered is to have a governing body regulate operations. No registration, no license, no solicitation. No excuse.
A scam comes in any form or size: equity stakes, precious metals, oil, foreign exchange – anything that could lure investors has been and will be thought of.

China rejects "debt trap" allegations linked to Sri Lanka
China and Sri Lanka are committed to pushing forward cooperation on the Hambantota port project and realizing the goal of making Sri Lanka the logistics center of the Indian Ocean, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday, according to the Xinhua news agency.
"This is not only conducive to the economic development of Sri Lanka, but also conducive to regional interconnection and the common prosperity of regional countries," Spokesperson Lu Kang told a press briefing.
Lu made the remarks in response to allegations that appeared in U.S. media reports, which stated that China's acquisition of the Hambantota port from Sri Lanka highlights its "debt trap" and ambitious use of loans to gain influence around the world.
Lu said such reports seriously distort the facts, which are either irresponsible or under the orders of people with ulterior motives, "We hope that the relevant media will not be keen on fake news."
The construction of the Hambantota port is the wish of successive Governments and people of Sri Lanka, said Lu, adding that China encourages its companies to cooperate with the Sri Lankan side according to commercial principles and on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.
"According to the needs of Sri Lanka, Chinese financial institutions have provided support to Sri Lanka in solving the financing gap. Later, the Chinese side made efforts to adjust relevant asset allocation according to the wishes of the Sri Lankan side," said Lu, noting that those arrangements will benefit the business cooperation between the two sides.
"If the fabricators of the so-called 'debt trap' can not give the developing countries real help, they can at least take a healthy attitude towards the sincere cooperation between other countries," said Lu.

August Wilhelm Theodor von Bötticher  (* 5. Oktober 1845 in Nordhausen; † 8. September 1927 auf Schloss Rheinburg in Ehrenbreitstein) war ein preußischer Generalmajor.

Leben

Herkunft
Er war der Sohn des Nordhäuser Kaufmanns Wilhelm Karl Bötticher (1816–1884) und seiner zweiten Frau Caroline Bötticher (1823–1889). Sein Vater gehörte dem alten Nordhäuser Adelsgeschlecht der Familie Boetticher an, die aber den Titel schon einige Generationen lang nicht führte. Sein jüngerer Bruder war der preußische Generalleutnant Traugott von Bötticher (1851–1931).

Militärkarriere
Am 5. März 1865 trat Bötticher mit 19 Jahren in das 2. Rheinische Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 28 der Preußischen Armee ein. Dort wurde er am 11. Oktober 1864 zum Portepeefähnrich ernannt und ein Jahr später zum Sekondeleutnant befördert. Er nahm 1870/71 am Krieg gegen Frankreich teil und erhielt das Eiserne Kreuz II. Klasse. Nach dem Friedensschluss folgte am 14. Dezember 1871 seine Beförderung zum Premierleutnant sowie am 25. November 1879 zum Hauptmann.

Am 4. Januar 1881 schied Bötticher aus der Armee und wurde als Hauptmann und Kompaniechef im Seebataillon angestellt. Am 27. November 1882 erfolgte seine preußische Adelsanerkennung durch das Heroldsamtsreskript für die 1563 erfolgte Nobilitierung der Familie, welches ihm eine weitere Karriere als Stabsoffizier erleichterte. 1884 wechselt er als Chef in die 4. Kompanie des Seebataillons. Am 16. Mai 1885 schied Bötticher aus der Kaiserlichen Marine, trat wieder in die Preußische Armee ein und wurde im 2. Posenschen Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 19 angestellt.

Erst 1892 wird er zum Major befördert und zunächst zum Kommandeur des II. Bataillons im Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 143 in Straßburg ernannt, um bereits ein Jahr später, am 25. Mai 1893 als Kommandeur des II. Seebataillons nach Kiel zurückzukehren. Am 20. Mai 1896 trat er von der Marine in das Heer zurück. Unter gleichzeitiger Beförderung zum Oberstleutnant kam er mit diesem Datum als etatsmäßiger Stabsoffizier in das Infanterie-Regiment "Herzog von Holstein" (Holsteinisches) Nr. 85.

Vom 20. Juli 1898 bis zum 21. Juli 1900 kommandierte er das 1. Hanseatische Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 75 in Bremen. In Genehmigung seines Abschiedsgesuches wurde Bötticher anschließend mit der gesetzlichen Pension und der Berechtigung zum Tragen der Regimentsuniform zur Disposition gestellt.

Noch vor seiner Beförderung hatte er 1898 das Werk Klausenberg in Ehrenbreitstein bei Koblenz ersteigert und ließ sie in den folgenden Jahren unter Einbeziehung der alten Festungsanlagen zur heutigen Rheinburg umbauen. 1906 erwarb er auch die benachbarte Klausenburg und ließ sie durch zahlreiche Anbauten bis 1919 zur Villa umbauen und vergrößern.

Familie
Wilhelm von Bötticher war seit dem 20. Mai 1875 mit Emilie Charlotte Johanna Fellinger (* 1855) verheiratet und hatte mit ihr drei Kinder: Carl Friedrich Wilhelm (1880–1914), der als Oberleutnant zur See am 8. Dezember 1914 zusammen mit der SMS Scharnhorst im Seegefecht bei den Falklandinseln unterging; Friedrich Traugott Peter Justus (* 1885) und Emilie Elisabeth Helene (* 1886).
