This article is about the fields. For the neighbouring river, see Gladden River.
The Gladden Fields (Sindarin Loeg Ningloron) was, at the end of the Third Age, a large marsh on the west side of the Anduin that extended along either side of its tributary, the Gladden River (Sîr Ninglor), south of the Carrock.
In ancient times a lake had formed at their meeting-place, but by the beginning of the Third Age the lake had been replaced by a wilderness of marshes and islets filled with reeds, rushes, and vast clumps of yellow irises grown taller than a man that grew there in hosts.
In the First Age when the Silvan Elves first entered the Vales of Anduin, they found a lake in the deep depression where the Anduin and Gladden met. Although wider to the west, the lake probably did reach the sloping edge of Greenwood the Great . After many years the lake filled with sediment and became a marsh.
In T.A. 2 near this place, on a slope east of the Anduin, Isildur and his three oldest sons were ambushed by Orcs when they marched back towards Arnor. Isildur's sons were killed in that battle, while he attempted to escape using the power of invisibility of the One Ring. He ran to the Anduin and tried to cross it. Due to the current he was swept downstream until he reached the western bank near the inflow of the river Gladden. But the Ring had slipped from Isildur's finger and when he stood up he was seen by Orcs, who laid there to kill any survivors of the ambush, and was slain by their arrows.
During the reign of King Calimehtar of Gondor (who died in 1936) the Éothéod were a small people living in the Vale of Anduin; their southern boundary was the Gladden Fields.
During the height of Angmar, after 1356, some Stoors from the Angle of Eriador passed again the Mountains and probably about 1410 a band resettled in the Gladden Fields and formed a matriarchic society. It was here, about 2463, that the hobbit Déagol retrieved the One Ring from the Gladden and he was killed by his cousin Sméagol, who became the evil creature called Gollum.
Borondir, the messenger of Gondor sent by the Steward Cirion in 2510 to seek aid from the Éothéod (who by then had migrated farther up the Anduin valley), was pursued as he rode north as far as the Gladden Fields.
In T.A. 2851, after a meeting of the White Council, Saruman began searching near the Gladden Fields for the One Ring. He became alarmed to discover that Sauron's servants were also searching the region.
From Old English glaedene, "gladden" is another name for the "flag" or "iris". Tolkien identified the "gladden" as the yellow species iris pseudacorus growing in streams and marshes, and not the species now usually spelt gladdon.
Tolkien suggested to translators to avoid if possible the 'learned' name iris.

The embers from the heated OpenStack debate over the embrace of Amazon Web Services compatibility don't appear to be dying down just yet.
The community behind the collaborative cloud infrastructure project has had to endure lengthy debate in the past few weeks after CloudScaling CTO Randy Bias' open letter to the OpenStack Foundation reignited the issue.
OpenStack was initially created as an open source infrastructure alternative in 2010 and offers a set of interlinked cloud components for compute (Nova), storage (Swift) and networking resources (Neutron), designed to be run on standard hardware. In OpenStack's early days of 2010, co-founder NASA contributed Amazon EC2-compliant APIs in Nova, before Rackspace chose to place precedence on their own APIs in the cloud computing fabric controller just before the project's launch that summer.
One interesting bystander in this is Eucalyptus, a rival cloud infrastructure-as-a-service company which was "started out of curiosity" to explore whether it was possible to create an on-premise system that behaves like AWS, according to CEO Mårten Mickos.
The former MySQL CEO told JAXenter that despite facing "stiff dismissal" from fellow OpenStackers, Bias has done the industry "a huge favor" by bringing up the topic.
"OpenStack was founded in opposition of AWS, and they will probably never take API compatibility seriously. Instead, they are trying to establish their own standard," Mickos explained.
Mickos believes that OpenStack's narrow focus and the shunning of the AWS API could come back to haunt them.
"For workloads to be able to move between clouds, APIs must be compatible. For hybrid clouds to happen, APIs must be compatible. OpenStack is now heading for hybrid cloud only within the narrow set of OpenStack clouds and a number of them are not even internally and mutually compatible," he added.
Eucalyptus also believe the future is hybrid, – that is, the ability to swiftly move workloads between public and private clouds.
"We are making sure that Eucalyptus is API compatible with the leading public clouds. So far, AWS is the only public IaaS vendor with a large market share. As time passes, and other vendors build significant market share, we expect to support other APIs as well," he added.
Putting all your eggs in one basket could be an accusation thrown at Eucalyptus though. The company has long championed their mimicry with AWS, inking a deal in 2012 to use the company's API. Amazon's engineers and architects play a role in designing new AWS-like features for the on-premise solution, while Eucalyptus do the prospecting, seeking for customers who want a hybrid solution.
Mickos is in firm support of Randy Bias' AWS-friendly views, and while he agrees with Scoble's opinion that OpenStack must stay focused, he believes some of his statements are contentious.
"I disagree with his statement that following the AWS API would consume the innovative power of OpenStack. Quite on the contrary – I believe settling for a de facto leader in cloud APIs would free up OpenStackers to innovate elsewhere in the technology stack," Mickos states, pointing to an example close to his heart, MySQL.
The former MySQL CEO is keen to point out that there are exceptions to the rule, but is steadfast is his view that OpenStack is biting off more than it can chew by going against the grain.
Mickos is slightly more damning in his assessment of what is already on the table, telling JAXenter that "the various components of OpenStack do not necessarily stand out as supreme examples of innovation" noting Swift's storage competitors Ceph and Basho's RiakCS.
It might seem like Mickos is an OpenStack naysayer, but he is confident the project will be successful – just not in the way the Foundation perceives.
Mickos goes on to mention that Eucalyptus could even use OpenStack components further down the line, such as Swift, when they are mature. The two project have differing end goals, with Eucalyptus wanting to be a Amazon broker of sorts and OpenStack an enterprise stack on its own, but Mickos believes there is room for both in this world.
"Some people argue that the API is not so important. Some people argue that customers will start to abandon AWS. Some people argue that hybrid cloud is not so important – that on-premise environments will be established with little regard for what's happening in the public cloud," Mickos concludes.

Would you ever renouce your U.S. citizenship? Practice is on the rise
In the last quarter of 2009, 502 expatriates gave up their U.S. citizenship or permanent residency status.
Though it's a tiny percentage of the over 5 million Americans the State Department says live abroad, the number is more than twice the total for all of 2008, when just 235 people gave up their citizenship. And, reports the New York Times, "waiting periods to meet with consular officers to formalize renunciations have grown."
It's not a decision made lightly, and it's not, as some might imagine, usually motivated by politics. But more and more expats abroad are giving up their U.S. citizenship, often fueled by frustrations over tax and banking questions.
The U.S., for example, is the only industrialized country to tax its overseas citizens on income earned abroad. That income is often also taxed in the country where it is earned, which means the incoming stream (or in my case, trickle) is dipped into not once but twice.
Double taxation is not the only financial problem for American expats abroad. New banking regulations have made it harder for expats to keep bank accounts in the United States and in some cases abroad. The regulations are intended to curb tax evasion and (under the Patriot Act) to help prevent money from flowing to terrorist groups. "Some U.S.-based banks have closed expats' accounts," according to an article in the New York Times, "because of difficulty in certifying that the holders still maintain U.S. addresses, as required by a Patriot Act provision."
Are you a U.S. citizen living abroad? Have you ever considered giving up your U.S. citizenship?

Yes. And will certainly be more serious about it when I am closer to moving to Costa Rica. I love the USA but don't love what its becoming. Its not the country I grew up in.
By WebProf, March 29, 2014 @ 9:46 am
Having lived in 3 countries so far, and fleeing from the one I was born in because of political problems, I would caution anyone giving up their USA citizenship. Why? If something changes in Costa Rica or another of your adopted countries, and it becomes too dangerous to live in, where will you go to? USA is still stable and that is why people move here.

An oasis in the desert, Mount Abu is the only hill-station in Rajasthan. Situated very close to the Rajasthan-Gujarat border on the highest peak in the Aravali ranges, Mount Abu is one of the important pilgrimage sites for both Hindus and Jains.
Home to many saints and sages in ancient times, Mount Abu is also believed to have been visited by Lord Mahavira, the 24th Jain Tirthankara and hence held in reverence by Jains.
Known for its 11th century Dilwara Jain temples, Mount Abu also has a no. of Hindu temples, historical monuments and archaeological remains which speak about the royal heritage and culture of the historical Mount Abu.
Mount Abu was earlier ruled by the Rajputs who were taken by its natural beauty and pleasant weather and set it up as their summer resort. Later, it was given on lease to the British who established their headquarters here and developed Mount Abu as a summer retreat to escape the dry and dusty heat of the plains.
A beautiful combination of lakes, evergreen forests, shallow rivers and gurgling waterfalls, Mount Abu offers fascinating treks, delightful walks, a no. of picnic spots and alluring romantic retreats.
As the legend goes, 'Arbuda', the mythological serpent rescued Sage Vashishtha's wish-fulfilling divine cow Kamdhenu when it fell in a deep gorge here. The place was thus named after him as 'Arbuda' and later re-christened by the British as Mount Abu.
As per another legend, it was here that Sage Vashishtha had performed a huge yagna and created the four 'agnikuls' – the Rajput fire-born dynasties to save the world from the wrath and menace of the demons. The rest of the clans are said to have descended from sun and moon.

Drug-Addled, Gun-Toting Pauper Moves to S.C.
by Greg Hambrick May 22, 2008
Today's news of the weird comes from Scranton, Pa., where Tobias Ross plead guilty to entering a federal building with a gun. When approached, he falsely claimed to be a U.S. Marshall.
(Public Defender Leo) Latella told U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Blewitt that Mr. Ross was undergoing financial difficulties and experimenting with drugs when the incident occurred.
"It's an aberration in an otherwise law-abiding life," Mr. Latella said.
But Judge Blewitt asked Mr. Ross about a similar incident at the Thurgood Marshall Federal Building in Washington, D.C., which happened prior to the Scranton incident.
"It was the same," Mr. Ross admitted, calling it a cry for help. "I was, I guess, out of my mind. I wasn't using good judgment."
Ross now says he's undergoing treatment. The court gave him five years probation, checking in with federal probation officers in Charleston.

New Age Angels – I Believe in Angels – Do You?
There are many people today who are seeking to "connect with their angels" or have some sort of experience or other with an angel. The internet is full of websites like this, and there are many books promoting this concept, such as Ask Your Angels. There are also many traditional occult tools that have been re-packaged to have an angelic feel to them. Some Ouija Boards have become "Angel Boards", some Tarot Cards have been called "Angel Cards", or "Oracle Cards", and the practice of channeling so called departed spirits has been extended to channeling angels. Despite these clear associations with the occult, many people are coming to this subject with their guard down. It seems that just because something is labelld "angel" then that somehow makes it a true angel, or something automatically good and acceptable. Is this really wise? The Bible tells us that we are to test the spirits to see whether they are from God or not (1 John 4:1) because "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14). It would therefore be foolish, and dangerous, to simply accept every spirit claiming to be an angel as being a true, legitimate, messenger of God.
"As a young man just out of college, I received a telephone call from a gentleman who claimed he was in constant contact with angels. It would have been easy to dismiss him as someone who needed a good therapist, except he was somewhat of a psychic celebrity and used these "angels" to help the police solve baffling crimes. In fact, he even told me that my telephone number had come to him in a dream.As we talked, he told me that the angels sometimes spoke through him, and he offered to let me speak to one of them. I agreed. Immediately, his voice changed – completely. It became stronger, deeper, more authoritative.
Over the next couple of days, I had more conversations with this fellow and several of his "angels." Was he faking it? I didn't think so. Each entity that spoke through him was so unique, with its own voice and distinctive way of speaking, that I felt certain I was talking to several different beings. Besides, they told me things about myself they couldn't have known except through supernatural means. They knew, for instance, that I was an aspiring writer. In fact, one of the voices assured me that I was going to be a successful author, and that I was going to accomplish great things for God through my writing. Of course, this is what I wanted to hear! The "angels" went out of their way to feed my pride and tantalize me with visions of glory. They constantly flattered me and made me feel I was somebody special.
I grew uneasy. I didn't know much about angels then, but I began to suspect that these beings didn't really have my best interest in mind. They were a bit too slick. And instead of encouraging me to grow in humility and love, I sensed them stirring up my pride and desire for success.
Why? Because I knew Satan and his demons have always been driven by a desire to be considered God's equals. In fact, the Bible says, "You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God…but you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit'" (Isa. 14:12-15).
Satan and his angels are so full of pride that they simply can't help themselves. If they see a chance to equate themselves with God, they go for it.
Later on in the book the writer explains how the above mentioned man who was channelling the 'angels', eventually sought deliverance through Christian prayer, whereby a number of demons were exorcised.
The messages that many of today's New Age angels give out is in direct conflict with what the Bible says. As mentioned earlier, there are many books by New Age authors on angels. Most of these books tend to be somewhat similar in the practices they promote, so I have chosen one modern angel book to critique and compare with the teachings of the Bible. New Age author, Diana Cooper, holds workshops for people to contact angels. She herself claims to allow angels to guide her life. However, when one reads through her books it soon becomes apparent that the teachings that she and her angels are giving out is in direct conflict with what the Bible teaches. Whatever these spirits are, they are certainly not the angels of the Bible.
"Angels of light say, "Follow your heart. This is your higher purpose." (Diana Cooper, A Little Light on Angels, p. 108).
"Religions tell people what to do and what to believe. Spirituality tells people to listen to their own guidance and follow their hearts." (Diana Cooper, A Little Light on Angels, p. 114).
The Bible says that the heart of man is wicked.
"In AD 553 at the Second Council of Constantinople, the Emperor Justinian had reincarnation written out of the Bible. He and the Church wanted to claim power over people's souls." (Diana Cooper, A Little Light on Angels, p. 114).
Likewise, D. Dalryma discovered that it is possible to reconstruct the entire New Testament, except for eleven verses, by using the writings of the Fathers of the second and third centuries (See: Charles Leach, Our Bible: How We Got It, pp. 35-36).
"Anyone who preaches hellfire and damnation is energising the darkness and therefore working for it" (Diana Cooper, A Little Light on Angels, p. 114).
I wonder if Cooper realises that in making such a statement, she also inadvertently accuses Christ of "energising the darkness and therefore working for it", as He spoke a great deal about Hell and damnation whilst on the earth. Strong statements for someone to make against Christ, especially when the Bible declares that He is over all the angels (Heb. Ch. 1)!
"Simply focus on angels!" (Diana Cooper, A Little Light on Angels, p. 119).
"looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Heb. 12:2).
"When I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, 'Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you…and all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!" (Revelation 22:8-9).
"Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,…" (Col 2:18).
Cooper encourages her readers to "ask" the angels to help us, "Invite them" to come, and to "thank them". (Diana Cooper, A Little Light on Angels, pp. 116; 121-128). This is basically the same as praying to, and worshiping angels, refuted by the two Bible texts mentioned above. The Bible is very clear that prayer and worship should be for God alone. God wants us to have a relationship with Himself, through Christ, not with His creatures, the angels. Throughout the Bible angels are always seen as directing attention to God and Christ, never to themselves.
Throughout Coopers book, there are constant references to such New Age practices as: auras, meditation, reincarnation, past life regression, karma, clairvoyance, psychic powers, the akashic records, the Age of Aquarius, and references that all religions are true and acceptable to God. All such teachings are at strong variance to the Bible. From the above evidence, it can only be concluded that these angels are most certainly not in allegiance with the God of the Bible. Not only that, but it appears that they stand diametrically opposed to many cardinal Christian doctrines. What beings would seek to do this? It can only be concluded that these beings are actually highly deceptive evil beings trying to pass themselves off as legitimate angels of God. The Bible calls such beings "demons" and "evil spirits". They do not serve God, but rather Satan himself, who "… masquerades as an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14). Involvement with such beings will lead a person away from God and Christ and has the potential to spiritually, and mentally, ruin a person.

We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. On your next visit please feel free to request different pillows as we have several to choose from. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
Clean and well maintained property. Quiet and good location - close to town center but "down the road enough" to be in s quieter area of town. The staff was nice and I'd stay there again while in Boone.
It looks like they're trying to present a nicer look for the hotel but unfortunately the cheapness stands out. There was a used chewed up piece of gum on the counter of my bathroom sink. Also, the door to my room was old and nasty. The room was pretty clean though.
Thanks for taking the time to give your feedback. I'm sorry to hear the rooms weren't up to the standard you've come to expect from us. I have personally addressed this with our housekeeping staff to ensure this won't happen again.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We do apologize that you had an issue with our hotel policies regarding early check out. Please feel free to contact the hotel directly to discuss this issue further.
We did see guests there with dogs.
What are the pet policies and fees? We have a 10 lb. dog and a 50 lb. dog. Both are crated when we are not in the room.
No I cannot, they would need to contact the Super 8 in Boone.
"DO NOT book a deluxe king room. No cell phone signal or wifi."
"Book in person during the day and ask for Jackie."
"If you can't travel without Fido, or Felix, this is your place"
"Don't trust that they have your RSVP, even if you call to confirm. THEY OVERBOOK"
"I wouldn't stay here ever again."

Q: Java interface design I had an interface initially as below.
public interface testMe {
      public Set<String> doSomething();
}
public class A implements testMe {
      public Set<String> doSomething() {
           return // Set<String>
      }
}

I had similar classes implementing testMe. Now I have to add one more class which returns Set<Some Object>
public class X implements testMe() {
     public Set<Some OBject> doSomething() {
     }
}

How could i add this method in the interface without breaking existing classes?

A: You can use
public interface testMe {
   public Set<?> doSomething();
}

Or
public interface testMe {
   public Set<? extends CommonSuperclass> doSomething();
}

A: You can't for two reasons.

*

*A class or interface can't have two or more methods that have the same number and type of parameters with the same name but differing return types; and

*Because of type erasure, all Set<...> instances are, at runtime, simply Set, so they would have the exact same return type anyway.
You will need to name the second something different.
The more complicated answer is that you can make the parameter type extensible:
public interface TestMe<T extends Serializable> {
  Set<T> doSomething();
}

public class A implements TestMe<String> {
  @Override
  public Set<String> doSomething() { ... }
}

public class X implements TestMe<ASerializableObject> {
  @Override
  public Set<ASerializableObject> doSomething() { ... }
}

A: I don't believe you can, because type erasure will ruin the effect you have in mind.
You can parameterize the interface:
import java.util.Set;

public interface ISomething<T>
{
    Set<T> doSomething(T [] data);
}

And the implementation:
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

public class Something<T> implements ISomething<T>
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Something<String> something = new Something<String>();

        Set<String> set = something.doSomething(args);
        System.out.println(set);
    }

    public Set<T> doSomething(T [] data)
    {
        Set<T> foo = new HashSet<T>();

        for (T x : data)
        {
            foo.add(x);
        }

        return foo;
    }
}

I'm not sure this accomplishes what you have in mind, though.

Navy History Matters – August 13, 2019
August 27, 2019	Navy History Matters
Compiled by Brent Hunt, Naval History and Heritage Command's Communication and Outreach Division
Welcome to Navy History Matters—our weekly compilation of articles, commentaries, and blogs related to history and heritage. Every week we'll gather the top-interest items from a variety of media and social media sources and then link you to related content at NHHC's website (history.navy.mil), your authoritative source for Navy history.
WWII@75: Operation Dragoon
On Aug. 15, 1944, 75 years ago, Operation Dragoon—the Allied invasion of southern France—began when the Western Naval Task Force, commanded by Vice Adm. Henry K. Hewitt, landed the Allies between Toulon and Cannes. On the heels of the successful invasion of Normandy, Operation Dragoon was an enormous victory for the Allies in that it made it possible to liberate Paris less than two weeks later and cause large-scale casualties to Nazi forces. Altogether, more than 2,250 ships and craft took part in the landings and supporting operations. From Aug. 15–Sept. 25, 325,000 troops, 68,500 vehicles, 490,400 tons of dry cargo, and 325,750 barrels of wet cargo were landed in the objective area. To learn more, check out the new Operation Dragoon: The Invasion of Southern France page on NHHC's website.
Wasp ARG Reflects through Waters of Coral Sea
190803-N-DQ787-0026 CORAL SEA (August 3, 2019)- Chief Petty Officer (selects) assigned to the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) hold wreaths during a wreath laying ceremony held in remembrance of the aircraft carrier USS Wasp (CV-7) aboard Wasp (LHD 1). Wasp (LHD 1), flagship of the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, with embarked 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, is operating in the Indo-Pacific region to enhance interoperability with partners and serve as a ready response force for any type of contingency. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice David Glotzbach)
During the past two months, the flagship of the Wasp amphibious ready group (ARG), USS Wasp (LHD-1), sailed through the Coral Sea during the bilateral, biennial exercise Talisman Sabre. During the transit, the ARG passed through the same waters where Wasp (CV-7) was lost during World War II. To reflect on the lives lost, Wasp, Amphibious Squadron 11, and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit held a wreath-laying ceremony to honor their service. On Sept. 15, 1942, after Wasp completed flight operations for the day, two I-19 torpedoes from a Japanese submarine struck the ship. The attack was described as "the single most devastating torpedo spread of the war." In the end, the ship and 173 of her crew were lost. "As we pause to remember all of the lives lost that day, we must also remember the importance of keeping our naval history alive. By looking back and recognizing the loss almost 77 years ago, we are able to ensure today's fleet does not relearn old lessons." To learn more, read the blog by Capt. Jim McGovern, Commander, Amphibious Squadron 11.
National Aviation Day
In observance of the anniversary of Orville Wright's birthday, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established in 1939 that Aug. 19 would be National Aviation Day. The purpose of Roosevelt's proclamation was to encourage U.S. citizens to observe the day with activities that promote interest in aviation. NHHC has plenty of information on naval aviation, including paintings, imagery, blogs, and the world's largest naval aviation museum—National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL. Check out all of NHHC's resources and make it a great National Aviation Day.
SECNAV Establishes History Section
On Aug. 18, 1918, 101 years ago, the Secretary of the Navy established a history section under the Chief of Naval Operations that directed historical material on World War I eventually be collected there. The directive emphasized that no hampering or interference with the war effort should be permitted to occur in obtaining information. Recognition of the importance of the historical aspects of naval operations and the growing volume of war records resulted in the appointment of retired Rear Adm. William W. Kimball as head of the new section. In compliance with the secretary's order, Adm. William Sims created a historical section in the staff of the U.S. Naval Forces operating in European waters. In dispatches and correspondence, Sims stressed the importance of adding trained historians to his staff, but before properly qualified officers could be selected for the historical project, Armistice was declared. To learn more, read Office of Naval Records and Library 1882–1945 at NHHC's website.
CNO Directs Consolidation of Navy Museums
On Aug. 16, 2005, 14 years ago, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael G. Mullen announced the consolidation of all Navy museums under the then-Naval Historical Center with the issuance of NAVADMIN 201/05. The Navy museum system realignment provided "more effective management of operations in the areas of manpower, collections preservation, accountability, exhibitions, and outreach, as well as addressing growing congressional interest in Department of Defense museum operations while continuing to encourage local foundation support and local command interest." The change became effective later that year.
Stout Commissioned
On Aug. 13, 1994, 25 years ago, USS Stout was commissioned at Houston, TX, with Cmdr. Carl E. Garrett Jr. in command. The ship is the sixth Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and is named for Rear Adm. Herald F. Stout, who received multiple awards for his service during World War II and the Korean War. Most notably, Stout received the Navy Cross twice during the Solomons Campaign and the Silver Star for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against enemy Japanese forces in Ormac Bay, Leyte." In 2011, Stout participated in Operation Odyssey Dawn. The operation's mission was to destroy Muammar al-Qaddafi's ability to attack Libyan civilians, who had fled the country during its civil war, by imposing a no-fly zone. Stout fired Tomahawk land-to-air missiles on Libyan military sites during the operation.
Matthew Perry Christened, Launched
On Aug. 16, 2009, USNS Matthew Perry was christened and launched at San Diego, CA. The Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship is named in honor of Commodore Matthew C. Perry, who led the expedition to open trading between the West and Japan. Hester Evans, who is Perry's great-great-great granddaughter, is the ship's sponsor. On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 undersea megathrust earthquake occurred off the Tohoku region of Honshu, Japan, causing nearly 25,000 casualties, including more than 15,000 killed. The U.S. initiated Operation Tomodachi to provide humanitarian relief to the victims. A total of 24,000 servicemembers, 189 aircraft, and 24 ships served during the operation. Matthew Perry supported Tomodachi during 21 days of operations by completing 17 separate replenishments, delivering fuel, and transporting relief supplies.
WWII Sailor Posthumously Awarded Purple Heart
A Sailor aboard USS Eagle No. 56 during World War II received the Purple Heart 74 years after he was killed while serving on the ship. Seaman 1st Class James Cunningham died April 23, 1945, when an explosion ripped the ship's hull in half just off the coast of Maine. Cunningham's 85-year-old sister, Clara Cunningham Osborne, accepted the award on his behalf during an event recently. "It was an honor to host the Cunningham family here in Millington and provide the family these long overdue awards and recognition of the sacrifices their Sailor and family have made since 1945," said Capt. Al Ross, commanding officer of Naval Support Activity Mid-South. A boiler explosion originally was thought to have sunk USS Eagle but, in 2001, the sinking was reclassified as a combat loss after naval historian Paul Lawton and Bernard Cavalacante, then-senior archivist at the Naval Historical Center, found evidence that German submarine U-853 had torpedoed the ship. To learn more, read the article in Stars & Stripes.
Twins Killed Together, Buried Together
They joined the Navy together in 1938, and were stationed together at Pearl Harbor when on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked. Their ship, USS Oklahoma, took three torpedo hits almost immediately. The remains of Rudolph Blitz and his brother Leo were identified recently and returned to Lincoln, NE. They were buried together, Aug. 10, with full military honors—two caskets, two 21-gun salutes, two invocations, and two flags presented to their surviving sister, Betty Pitsch. The twins' 93-year-old sister's DNA helped bring them home. "It's really hard to use the term 'uncles,' because they were always 'the boys,'" said Sandy Cox, a niece born five years later. "The boys or the twins, that's how they were referred to in the stories we were told." The boys were buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu with nearly 430 other Sailors and Marines. In 2015, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency unearthed the remains and began the process of identification. To learn more, read the article in the Navy Times.
First Underwater Veterans Memorial Open for Divers
The ribbon cutting ceremony was anything but typical. Instead of standing on the steps in front of a building, Heyward Matthews, a professor of oceanography at St. Petersburg College, stuck oversized scissors in the water and cut a ribbon between two boats. The ceremony marked the opening of the nation's first underwater dive memorial honoring veterans. It is located 40 feet below the surface, 10 miles off the coast of Dunedin Beach, FL. Matthews has been pushing the idea for the "Circle of Heroes" for almost a decade. "I just wanted something that was going to be permanent and also wanted something that was going to honor our veterans in a unique and different way," he said. The memorial currently features 12 life-size statues depicting servicemembers from all five branches. To learn more, read the article in the Military Times.
NHHC Webpage of the Week
The Navy recently released its list of the 4,744 first class petty officers chosen to become chief petty officers (CPOs). In celebration of their milestone, this week's Webpage of the Week is the Chief Petty Officer page. Officially established on April 1, 1893, CPOs are known for their exemplary technical expertise, superior administrative skills, and strong leadership. Most importantly, CPOs bridge the gap between officers and enlisted, acting as supervisors and mentors for their Sailors. On this page are multiple resources to explore, including the history and tradition of the CPO, Z-grams, blogs, notable CPOs, an infographic and selected imagery. Check it out today and learn more.
On Aug. 13, 1952, while serving during the Korean War with the 1st Marine Division Rifle Company, Hospitalman John E. Kilmer demonstrated extraordinary heroism, moving from one position to another administering aid to the wounded and expediting their evacuation while under intense enemy mortar, artillery and sniper fire. While administering aid to a fallen Marine using his own body as a shield, Kilmer was mortally wounded by flying shrapnel. For his "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty," Kilmer posthumously received the Medal of Honor.

[China's textile industry in the global Silk Road e]
Release date:[2017/12/13] Is reading[2361]次
The year 2017 is an extraordinary year. The victory of the 19th Plenary of the Party was held and the world is drawing attention. The construction of the "Belt and a Road" has deeply rooted in people's hearts and stirred up the world. As the most historic source to the "Silk Road," the Chinese textile industry, indispensable in the global economy, played an important pioneer role in the "going global" one-year period.
The company is located in:
This year, a series of docking activities of textile industry at home and abroad held a heat, facing the world and the future. In the same year, as a promoter of the international layout of China's textile industry, the alliance of China Textile International Capacity Cooperation Enterprises actively promoted and steadily progressed. This year, the future-oriented Chinese textile enterprises rooted themselves in the world and laid out the whole world. In the same year, China's textile industry, which was aggressive and progressive, integrated into the global industrial chain and built a new competitive advantage in the world.
Temperament, the future. Pursue the pace of the past on the "going out" road and open a new journey of "building the Belt and Road".
Take the initiative to help the textile industry actively participate in the "One Belt, One Road" construction
Since the beginning of this year, the Chinese textile industry has been more actively integrated into the "One Belt and One Road" initiative. As a result, "action" has been frequent. Thanks to the early completion of the overseas layout business of Chinese textile enterprises, the "going global" development of the Chinese textile industry has become more smooth and the parties have all reported their utmost enthusiasm to promote China's textile industry to the world and to the world.
At the beginning of spring 2017, China Textile Industry Federation formally announced in March that "China Textile International Capacity Cooperation Enterprise Alliance" (hereinafter referred to as "Union") was established. Union is approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, led by the China National Textile and Apparel Council, initiated member units covering domestic and international development of the backbone of the textile and garment enterprises, textile industry chain of professional associations and local communities. A total of 88 alliance members. Union Secretariat set up in the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade textile branch, the secretariat responsible for the Union's specific work. This is a major measure taken by China's textile industry to integrate into the nation's "One Belt, One Road" construction and also marks a major turning point in China's textile industry from an export-oriented product export to an international export-led capacity-building partnership.
The coalition works closely around the construction of three service systems of "bridge collaboration," "investment promotion," and "information research." The goal is to do a good job in serving better and healthier "going global" industries and enterprises.
As a platform for promoting international capacity cooperation in the textile industry in the "Belt and Road", the coalition has the authority to fill in the NDRC's international capacity cooperation project management system and to browse through the international capacity cooperation projects of the entire textile industry. After consulting the projects of allied enterprises and related professional associations, the secretariat shall declare 23 key projects in the textile industry and the projects included in the key projects database of the management system will receive the priority support of the national policies.
In addition, the Union also participated in a number of issues of the Ministry of Industry Research. Participated in the seminar of state industrial layout along the "Belt and Road" for many times and undertook the special entrusted tasks; carried out the research on "the situation and countermeasures of foreign trade investment in the textile industry"; elaborated on the latest progress of foreign trade in the textile industry; faced with the import and export of the industry The situation at home and abroad as well as the prospect of international layout in the future and so on. The report on "Research on Environment and Investment Opportunities for Textile Development in Southeast Asia" will be completed. The opportunities and risks of investment in Southeast Asian countries will be estimated in the future. The research results have been compiled into "Southeast Asia Prospects for Development Environment and Trade Investment in Textile Industry "to be released for the whole industry. In the meantime, the Ethiopian Investment Commission (EIC) released for the first time in China a White Paper on Ethiopian Investment Opportunities in the Textile Industry.
As of the end of November, the number of members of China Textile International Capacity Cooperation Enterprise Alliance has reached 104. In response, Xu Yingxin, vice chairman of China National Textile and Apparel Council and executive vice president of the Textile Industry Branch of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), said that so many members of the alliance came together under the call of China Spinning Union to unite as one and develop together. Alliance is a textile international community of destiny, a joint fleet to the sea. Nowadays, there is a clear path for benign interaction between backbone enterprises in carrying out cross-border distribution of productive forces and global allocation of quality resources and upgrading and upgrading of domestic industries. The alliance is playing an active role in leading and serving its members in carrying out capacity cooperation and quality resources for "One Belt and One Road" positive effects.
Taking this as an opportunity, the speed and efficiency of a series of "going global" activities of the Chinese textile industry will be carried out in the future.

During this period, South African parties expressed their interest in attracting Chinese textile and garment enterprises, especially the upstream textile and fabric enterprises The desire to invest in South Africa.
In less than a year, the coalition's work has not stopped and the pace of China's textile industry going out has not slowed down. To China's textile enterprises, joining the "One Belt, One Road" construction has long been a goal of realizing the international development of enterprises and promoting the development of industries The inevitable choice of globalization. The "Belt and Road Initiative" has opened a new journey for China's textile industry and will surely create new opportunities for development and seek new impetus for development and expansion of new space for development.
Accelerate investment and build new advantages in overseas competition for Chinese textile enterprises
In a series of exchanges and interactions, investigations and visits, more and more countries and regions along the Belt and Road have come to realize that the opportunities for the transfer of textile and garment production capacity have come and they have allotted an olive branch to China's textile industry. The support and gratitude for the work of China Textile Alliance and related organizations of the Union.
Take Ethiopia as an example, the country attaches great importance to cooperation with Chinese textile enterprises. It not only ranks the textile and clothing industry as a key national development industry, but also sets up a China office in the government departments such as the Ministry of Finance, the Customs and Investment Commission and assists the Chinese enterprises Ethiopian investment cooperation.
At a meeting in May this year, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam said the Ethiopian government is very grateful to China Textile Federation for its continuous support for the development of Ethiopia's textile industry.
