Q: ¿Como obtener la primera letra y vocal de un string en xamarin.forms? Quiero obtener la primera letra y vocal del apellido paterno para obtener el rfc
string rfc = "";
            rfc += apellidoPaterno.Substring(0, 2);
            rfc += nombre.Substring(0, 1);
            rfc += apellidoMaterno.Substring(0, 1);

A: Lo logre hacer con un foreach donde primero declaro una matriz "vocales" donde guardo las vocales, después declaro la variable "vocal" que es un string vacio donde se guardara la vocal, luego hice un for each que recorre la variable "apellidoPaterno" con "i". Si "i" contiene una letra de la matriz "vocales" me guardara ese valor en la variable "vocal" y la convierto a string
 //Obtener la primera vocal del apellido
            char[] vocales = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'};
            string vocal = "";
            foreach (char i in apellidoPaterno)
            {
                if(vocales.Contains(i))
                {
                    vocal = i.ToString();
                }
            }

I moved to Canandaigua to start a career as an educator, teaching at Canandaigua Middle School for over 30 years. My husband, David, Sr., and I raised two sons here. When I retired from teaching in 2009, I quickly found my calling as an advocate for good government in Canandaigua. Since 2010, I have represented Ward 3, focusing on quality of life issues and championing efforts to protect the environment, including Canandaigua Lake, while being fiscally responsible, and keeping city services top notch and city taxes manageable. My goal is to make sure that the interests and needs of my constituents are heard and supported. I enjoy spending time on the lake, traveling, and cross-country skiing.

Q: multi-touch gestures on Thinkpad T61 I'm currently running elementaryOS Freya on my Thinkpad T61 and want to use multi-touch gestures. Out of the box I can use 2-finger swipes for scrolling (although it works rather badly with this OS).
$ grep "TouchPad: buttons:" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

gives me this output:
(--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: buttons: left right middle double triple

so my touchpad is definitely capable of 3-finger gestures. However, I've tried for days now to get touchegg, ginn or xSwipe to work but when I enter the test-mode via touchegg or ginn in the terminal, it doesn't register any input at all, not even a simple tap.
Possible solutions that I've already tried include:
deactivating all native gestures in the synaptics driver
$ synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0
$ synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=0
$ synclient TapButton1=0
$ synclient TapButton2=0
$ synclient TapButton3=0
$ synclient ClickFinger1=0
$ synclient ClickFinger2=0
$ synclient ClickFinger3=0
$ synclient PalmDetect=0
$ synclient GrabEventDevice=0

using evdev driver instead of synaptics (in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf)
Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
  Driver "evdev"
  MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
  MatchIsTouchpad "on"
  Option "Protocol" "event"
  Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

and downgrading to an older version of the synaptics driver as recommended in the installation instructions for xSwipe
$ sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libevdev-dev
$ autoconf automake libmtdev-dev xorg-dev xutils-dev libtool git libx11-guitest-perl
$ git clone https://github.com/felipejfc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.git
$ cd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --exec_prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install

I also installed touchegg in a xubuntu live environment to rule out incompatibility with elementaryOS.

Ruptura del Dúo

Fujiko Fujio fue el alias de un dúo de mangakas japoneses. Sus nombres reales son Hiroshi Fujimoto (藤本 弘 Fujimoto Hiroshi?, 1933–1996) y Motoo Abiko (安孫子 素雄 Abiko Motoo?, 1934–). Ellos comenzaron a trabajar como un equipo en 1951, y usaron el nombre de Fujiko Fujio desde 1954 hasta su separación en 1987. Tras la ruptura del dúo, en la cual Hiroshi Fujimoto adoptó el nombre de Fujiko F. Fujio, y Motoo Abiko el de Fujiko Fujio Ⓐ, ambos se repartieron los trabajos, ya que aunque se hacían llamar un dúo, verdaderamente trabajaron como tal solo al inicio, y posteriormente cada uno se encargaba de obras diferentes, por lo cual no fue complicado llegar a un acuerdo en la división de las obras. De tal forma que hoy en día Ninja Hattori se encuentra firmado por Motoo Abiko (Fujiko Fujio Ⓐ).

Curiosidades
 En 20th Century Boys "Amigo" usa una máscara de este personaje.
 En uno de sus primeros capítulos, el perro de Hattori mira en la televisión un programa en el que aparece el personaje de Doraemon del manga y anime del mismo nombre.
 La serie recuerda al mítico manga y anime Doraemon.

Distribución en Latinoamérica
En Latinoamérica la serie se distribuyó por Rose Entertainment.

Hurricane Lenny's 150-mph winds ripped off roofs and hurled boats onto shore in the U. S. Virgin Islands yesterday as the surprising storm continued to roar through the northeastern Caribbean.
Forecasters said the 55,000 residents of St. Croix could be drenched by up to 15 inches of rain during a direct hit from Lenny.
"My yard is completely flooded out, the telephone lines are whistling and the rain is beating against the house," said Anthony Lewis of Frederiksted, St. Croix's second-largest town.
Lenny was moving east at 12 mph and cutting a wide swath, with its hurricane-force winds extending 60 miles from its eye.
Hurricane warnings were also posted for Dutch St. Maarten, French St. Martin, St. Barthelemy, St. Eustatius, Saba, Anguilla, St. Kitts and Nevis, Montserrat, Antigua and Barbuda.
Even veteran storm watchers were stunned by Lenny — it arrived virtually at the end of the annual hurricane season and is taking an unusual west-to-east path.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime event," meteorologist John Toohey said in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
On St. Croix, the Category 4 storm uprooted trees, knocked out electricity and dumped tons of debris that blocked roads.
"We've been through this before and know what to do," Virgin Islands Gov. Charles Turnbull said.
He declared a state of emergency, instituted a curfew and called out the National Guard.
Earlier, Lenny passed south of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and inflicted relatively little damage on Puerto Rico.
But Lenny was blamed for damage as far away as Colombia, where police said two fishermen drowned Tuesday in heavy rain and strong winds linked to the storm.

I'm a longtime lover of large fantasy books, so I was thrilled to have The Priory of the Orange Tree in my hands. I think a lot of people will be intimidated by the size of this book, but it's honestly such a quick read once you get into the story. The world building is absolutely exquisite and is one of the reasons that I fell into the story so quickly. As with The Bone Season, Shannon shows that she has an incredible talent for building lush, gorgeous worlds down to the tiny details — she really paints a picture in your mind. In addition, the magic and mythology in this book were just perfect. I am not somoeone who likes dragons much — I find that they get incredibly boring and same-y after awhile — but I really loved the way Shannon incorporates different dragons inspired by different cultures from our own world.
In terms of characters, we get four points of view. As per usual with my, I found some of those POVs much more interesting than others. For me, Ead was the best POV character — she's now one of my all-time favourites and I just adore her so much. Not only was she incredibly capable and completely badass, she was extremely well-written. I would have been very happy if this book only followed her. I also really enjoyed Loth, the queen's best friend, and his journeys far from home. Niclays and Tané were a little bit of a struggle for me, especially Tané. It took me a long time to become invested in Niclays, although I did warm to him by the end, but Tané was just not the kind of character for me. I found her self-righteousness incredibly tedious and discovered I was setting the book down every time I got to one of her chapters. I think the book would have been stronger if Tané was given more of a personality, but also if her and Niclays' chapters were more balanced in terms of screen time. We spend so much time with Ead and Loth that it really felt like our other POV characters were an afterthought.
Overall, I really enjoyed The Priory of the Orange Tree, however it wasn't as explosive and incredible as I had hoped. If the book only focused on Ead, Sabran, and Loth, or if a better balance had been struck with the Eastern and Western characters. Regardless, I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. Don't be intimidated by its size, non-fantasy readers.
Have you read The Priory of the Orange Tree yet? What did you think? Is it in your TBR? Let me know!
I am planning on reading this in April, and Im super excited! Great review!!
I think "enjoyed but not incredible" is what I've mostly for this book, so I'm putting it off until I have more time. But it still sounds like a fun ride!
I have been hearing similar things from other reviewers. Maybe I'll put this one off a bit more hah. Thanks for your thoughts!


Oxford's Simon Wren Lewis writes about why you might expect a bump in consumption following a debt shock and then a government spending shock. Well worth reading and thinking about, especially in terms of our rebound in economic growth and the chances of that rebound being permanent (or even semi-permanent).
Having read the article, I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation that it is an explanation for "a bump in consumption following a debt shock and then a government spending shock".
SWL explicitly suggests that such an interpretation may point to the fact that the NK model is incomplete and then goes to show how the projection of a bump in consumption can be corrected with considerations of the impact of a govt debt shock.
So the end conclusion is that we should have a fall in consumption. This is surely correct – a fall in inflation in these circumstances is due to a fall in demand which is caused by cuts to the economy.
Small open economy. To an extent depending on how you model it, a large part of the bounce in consumption in Ireland can be traced to payroll and domestic economy expenditure of exporting companies, and their domestic economy multipliers.
The question that has to be asked, in thinking about the matter, is how relevant to the real world is this type of economic debate?
A more topical reference might be the link below.
Since this was published, Sweden has been through a political process which bears an uncanny resemblance to one with which we are becoming familiar.
Courtesy of the EU, we have an ersatz version of the domestic Swedish budgetary procedure which enabled the political parties to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion and to keep the show on the road aka "Keep the Recovery Going".
Those participating in the debate about "Dáil reform", especially the politicians supposedly capable of implementing it, appear to have only the vaguest idea of what they are talking about. If they had, all would be concentrating on its essential function i.e. to approve a budget.
The debt shock hasn't finished. Neoliberalism cannot generate 2% inflation anywhere. Central Bankers like Carney and Fischer end up talking BS. The GOP has lost its political voting base which followed the pied piper of Trump. Income inequality is the big issue in the US election. Real median wage is 10% lower than the 70s. Over in Europe Switzerland is in full monty deflation mode due to the weight of EZ capital looking for a safe chalet.
The system is breaking down. Anyone predicting milk and honey for Ireland given the global context needs a dose of reality.
From the Philip Lane 2010 paper.
"Although the optimal conduct of monetary policy also requires serious revision, it is important to devote serious research attention to fiscal policy.
meanwhile … the 100 Odious Billion question ….
'The response of depositors to negative interest rates has resulted in neoliberal economists, such as Larry Summers, calling for the elimination of large denomination bank notes in order to make it difficult for people to keep their cash balances outside of banks.
The economics profession has more than enough neoliberal fellow travellers who see monetarism as the greatest novena, capable of curing cancer. And it can't even generate 2% inflation. Holy water at least has a placebo effect. But if you have spent your whole career telling yourself black is white you have to go on , duntcha?
Surely multipliers are reduced if interest rates are negative.
I posted a comment on this thread on March 10th, 2016 at 09.39 am. ???
Can anyone recommend some reading on the theory behind multipliers? Everything is trina chéile now so I presume multipliers are too.
seafóid – its just theory! There are no real economic multipliers – only virtual ones. Though I might allow as how my credit card (with its modest credit limit) is actually an income multiplier – of sorts.
Blanchard was the multiplier guru. About 5 year back he disowned them. My half-educated guess is that back in the old days when new credit was created and fed into the economy (correlated to, but not caused by) some contemporary government sponsored fiscal boondoggle. The new credit found its way – not into assets, but into productive enterprises. Those days are no more.
Professorial level economists were at a loss to explain some elements of the causal nature of economic rates-of-growth so they resorted to the use of the Psychic Balm term "multipliers", in much the same manner as they used the term "The Invisible Hand". Neither term explains anything. But they sure sound important.
I did come across – 'Post-Keynesian Economics', ed: Kenneth Kurihara. Rutgers University Press. 1954. – it has 8 references to '"multiplier principle". Very difficult reading.
seafóid – a belated update on "multipliers". They go back to at least 1931 – R F Kahn, "The Relation of Home Investment to Unemployment" – Economic Journal, June 1931. Also, the Great Lord K has a lot to say about the matter, though he re-termed the "multiplier" as either an increase (or a decrease) in the Marginal Propensity (of wage earners) to Consume. Its described in Chapt 8 of The General Theory.
The idea is that an increase in Government (deficit) spending on infrastrucure, to relieve the devastating social effects of widespread unemployment, has two effects; it removes (primarily) unemployed persons from social welfare programmes and (secondarily) it should lead to knock-on (trickle-down) decreases in unemployments as the monetary benefits of the primary employments are absorbed by the wider society. There are some Terms and Conditions here! As the Marginal Propensities to Consume increase, more consumer goods and services are consumed and the economy slowly improves – up to a limit.
The total level of employment (the adult workforce participation rate?) is crucial to the operation of 'multipliers'. There is a 'ceiling' on adult participation – hence on the multiplier effect also.
An interesting observation of both authors is that the MPC approaches zero as wealth (high income) increases. The richer spend less and less (proportionately), whilst the poorer spend more and more. Funny that. Moral: Do not reduce the incomes of low-earners – you'll get falling consumption. Or is that deflation as some prices have to decline in parallel?
"Too large a proportion of recent 'mathematical' economics are merely concoctions, as imprecise as the initial assumptions they rely on, which allow the author to lose sight of the complexities and interdependencies of the real world in a maze of pretentious and unhelpful symbols".
In my economics class of 214 undergrads – not one (apart from myself) had read neither Smith nor Keynes. ????

Adequate command of foreign languages eases and expedites the access to new markets and opens up a more intimate avenue of communication with business partners, which now can be met on a ground familiar to them.
We favour in-house based training at the work place of our trainees in order to deliver the most immersive experience possible.
Initial testing comprises a written and an oral exam. In addition to the established multiple-choice testing method, our written exam also probes written message comprehension and written output capabilities. Depending on customer preference, for the oral exam we organize face-to-face or phone interviews. Our complex testing methods ensure both result accuracy and precision, enabling us to assign candidates language competency sublevels, distinguishing for instance between B1.1 and B1.2. The direct benefit for the company consists in a greater ROI and more precise peformance indices to guide the appraisal of the language training programme.
Based on a precise initial assessment we can set the training goals and the course content. Our course customization seeks to match the company development requirements and the personal goals of the trainees while conforming throughout to CEFR parameters and established language certification standards.
We set out with a preliminary presentation of the course programme and contents alongside the handover of the training material. Each session is structured in successive stages of presentation, practice and production, in a balanced ratio to each other. This format includes essential grammar, vocabulary, texts, audio-video supporting material, worksheets, interactive games, roleplay and not least conversation. We build on previous knowledge and consolidate by overlapping steps. Subjects once presented are reiterated in varied contexts throughout the rest of the course.
Our tests emulate the format of international established language certification exams and make good training therefor.
We publish the final results and look into the opportunity of continued training. We issue course completion certificates.

IVECO BUS and STIB-MIVB welcome the introduction of the first hybrid electric Urbanway buses from a total order of 141 vehicles
IVECO BUS, a major player in the European market for sustainable mobility and innovative public transport solutions, officially delivered the first 15 hybrid electric Urbanway buses to STIB-MIVB (Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company).
This delivery follows the signing of a framework agreement last September for the supply of 141 vehicles, which should be completed by 2020.
Stéphane Espinasse, IVECO BUS Brand Leader, has officially delivered the first 15 articulated hybrid electric Urbanway buses from a total order of 141 vehicles to Brieuc de Meeûs, CEO of STIB-MIVB.
The symbolic event followed the signing of a five-year framework agreement last September.
The deliveries will take place over two years, with a first instalment of 75 vehicles by September 2019, followed by a second batch during the first half of 2020.
Particularly environmentally friendly, the hybrid Urbanway combines excellent accessibility and a high passenger capacity of up to 130. Its low floor improves passenger flow management, while its comfort zone is dedicated to vulnerable users, with modular areas for wheelchairs or children's pushchairs.
Offering genuine economic and environmental advantages, the hybrid Urbanway drastically reduces harmful emissions and fuel consumption. It combines an electric traction system with a Euro VI engine and latest-generation energy storage system to provide a cleaner mobility solution, whilst maintaining performance.
The powertrain management system optimises fuel consumption and emissions, whilst recovering and storing the kinetic energy released under braking.
In addition, the "Arrive & Go" function enables operation in 100 per cent electric mode with zero emissions when approaching and leaving bus stops and traffic lights.
Fuel consumption per vehicle is reduced by 30 per cent and CO2 emissions can also be reduced by up to 30 per cent compared with diesel buses, equating to a 35-tonne reduction of CO2 per year – the equivalent weight of two buses, which is not discharged into the atmosphere.
Its Tector 7 286hp engine is produced by FPT Industrial, the powertrain brand of CNH Industrial, which is compatible with second generation HVO biofuel, enhancing performance still further and reducing carbon emissions by up to 90 per cent compared with a standard diesel engine.
In addition, its silent operation provides an immediate benefit in terms of comfort for passengers, the driver and residents.
"We are delighted to see the introduction of these first vehicles. This delivery is the first stage in a successful transition to sustainable mobility for STIB-MIVB. IVECO BUS is proud to be a key partner in this process and to see its expertise and leadership recognised in the service of Brussels and its residents. They are clearly on the path to electromobility," said Espinasse.
STIB-MIVB is the leading Belgian public urban transport company. It serves 19 municipalities in the Brussels region as well as 11 more on the outskirts, covering a total area of 241.5 km². It provides a transport service for over 1,100,000 residents as well as thousands of commuters.
The STIB-MIVB network consists of four metro lines, 17 tram lines, 50 bus lines and 11-night bus lines. Based on initial estimates, in 2018 STIB-MIVB was responsible for more than 417 million journeys.

The Prologue Avant has an elegant, angular design.
FRANKFURT -- Audi has released sketches of the Prologue Avant station wagon concept that will debut at the upcoming Geneva auto show.
Media reports said the concept could preview a rival to the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake.
The Prologue Avant four-door wagon follows the unveiling of the Prologue coupe at the Los Angeles auto show in November.
Audi design boss Marc Lichte said at the LA show that the Prologue embodies the future styling of the brand's A6, A7 and A8 sedans.
The Prologue Avant's stretched body and low roofline preview design cues for future Audi wagons.
Audi declined to disclose information about the Prologue Avant except to say that design details from the concept will be used on the next A6 and A7 wagons. The concept will be unveiled on March 2 on the eve of the Geneva show, an Audi spokesperson told Automotive News Europe.

On a recent visit to Brazil's Port of Itajaí, Pedro Brito, the secretariat of ports minister announced that US$91m is to be allocated to the Port's reconstruction programme under the Brazilian government's PAC 2 (Growth Acceleration Programme.
Minster Brito said the reconstruction will cost an estimated US$85m with works on Berth 4 completed by June and on Berth 2 by August 2010.
The reconstruction programme will comprise improvement works on the whole dock area infrastructure as well as a berth alignment to allow vessels optimum accessibility.
In addition the programme will also encompass the acquisition of new fire-safety equipment, plumbing for the effluent sewage system, electrical wiring and electricity, new pavements and the installation of a comprehensive surveillance system.
"This infrastructure upgrade is of vital importance to ensure the best use of our existing and new container handling equipment in full compliance with the regulations," said André Pimentel, Itajaí's technical engineer.

Restoring Sunset Station
Sunset Station Restoration
A working drawing of the depot's window, re-created by Cavallini Company, Inc., of San Antonio.
Sunset Station opened to the public of San Antonio on February 1 of 1903. It replaced the smaller depot in use since 1877. There was great hoopla involved, as you can imagine. In 1906, the International & Great Northern opened a grand new station as well, replacing their first depot. When the Missouri Kansas Texas Railroad first came to San Antonio it used the Sunset Depot and you come across an occasional reference to the depot as Union Station. In 1917, the MKT opened their own depot. Neither of the other two depots, grand as they were, ever eclipsed the Sunset Station. The SP's building inspired an entire architectural style called Mission Revival. Not bad bearing in mind it was an in-house design from the company's own bureau in San Francisco, California.

The MKT's station was demolished in 1969. The Missouri Pacific abandoned their station in 1970 and it languished, abandoned, for almost eighteen years until the San Antonio City Employees Credit Union salvaged it and brought it back into public use. Meanwhile, the grand old Sunset Station soldiered on. When Southern Pacific also got out of the passenger business in 1970, the station passed into the hands of AMTRAK, and the building was kept in public use as San Antonio's only train station.

Over time, significant alterations were made to the building. The most noticeable from the outside was the removal of the magnificent Southern Pacific stained glass window. It was replaced by an AMTRAK symbol on a background the same color as the rest of the building. What happened to the original window remains a mystery. Maybe it is in storage, or it is on private display somewhere. This author believes it was simply destroyed, as so many wonderful artifacts were. It is the most expedient, cheapest and short sighted option, which would be in keeping with the spirit of the times back then.

Inside the main entrance doors to Commerce Street, a mezzanine office and mechanical area was constructed. This involved the removal of the original upper level bannisters, which were repositioned further into the building, to allow room for the additions. While in buildings of this size, there is a great deal of unusable space, the main reason for the addition seems to have been to accommodate modern air conditioning equipment, which was not around when the building was built. The addition does not appear to have been installed badly and the building was able to function much as it had always done.

The fate of the depot came into question for two main reasons. The facility was altogether too large for AMTRAK's relatively small needs. Furthermore, all buildings require maintenance, but an almost one hundred year old structure as ornate and complex as the Sunset depot posed a financial burden beyond AMTRAK's capacity to maintain. AMTRAK has always been a cash strapped organization and they are not really in the historic building preservation business.

More significantly, the adjacent Alamo Iron Works site was chosen as the place where the brand new Alamodome would be built. The station became part of the deal and a private consortium evolved that volunteered to refurbish the building which was already on many historic building lists. In order to make this cost effective and to assure that the building would have a viable, self sustaining future and still be in use by the public, it was suggested that there would be a wholesale change of use and that the train station would become an entertainment complex.

Not everyone was happy with the proposal, but there were certain facts that had to be faced. The condition of the building had begun to seriously deteriorate both inside and out. Such damage usually accelerates if left unattended. AMTRAK simply did not need such a large building and could not justify the enormous amount of money that would be required to restore the building back to its original condition. Furthermore, no one wanted to see a repeat of what happened to the former Missouri Pacific depot, which languished unused for almost eighteen years. It was also hoped that an entertainment complex, situated in historically significant buildings, in between the new Alamodome and the Riverwalk, the state's number one tourist attraction, would prove to be popular with both locals and visitors.
There is an entire web site devoted to the restoration of this window at Sunset Station, San Antonio. For you non-Latin scholars out there, the numerals say 1902. (M = 1,000, D = 500, C = 100, I = 1).

The Sunset Station Group, L.L.C. was formed in 1995. The company was formed by several people and organizations, including some very heavy San Antonio hitters, including Red McCombs, of car dealerships fame, although this is only one of his accomplishments and local construction giant, H.B. Zachry, among others. An initial report was created from an inspection made on 8/24/1995. The report is highly detailed. The most pleasing conclusion it that the depot, completed in 1902, was essentially structurally sound.

The sturdiness of the original construction had been proven once before, in 1907, four years after the station was opened to the public. A major fire had destroyed the main building's roof but had left the massive brick walls intact. The solidness of the building's foundation and construction, plus the high quality of the original materials used, were still proving their worth ninety years later. Though there was a great deal to report on the condition of the external and internal appearance of the main building, the warehouses and the last major addition, the old Wells Fargo building, which was doubled in size some time in the 1920s and occupies the space at the far end of the complex, it must have come as some relief that the overall condition of the buildings was good.

With VIA Metropolitan Transport as the new landlord, one era came to an end. AMTRAK vacated the building some time in 1996, moving first into a temporary building but ultimately into a brand new depot located adjacent to the Sunset station. This building was built to resemble the style of the old passenger complex, and is more suited to the more modest passenger traffic requirements of modern railroading. The old station, having served countless millions of passengers for 93 years, now stood empty. Empty, but not alone and certainly not abandoned. Over the next few years it would experience something of a re-birth, a new purpose and new popularity.

It is worth mentioning that all the restoration and renovations were funded privately. Sunset Station Group, L.L.C. is entirely self sufficient. They get no money from the city, county, state or federal government. And whereas it took almost twenty years for the old Missouri Pacific depot to find a new tenant and a new purpose, the Sunset Depot was returned to its former glory and opened for public use once again without the building first having been allowed to get to the edge of collapse from neglect and decay. The depot is a part of the city's desire to see the whole of the Saint Paul's Square district undergo urban renewal, and much has been done throughout the area to renovate and improve all of the area's historic architecture and ambiance. The area is very close to Rivercenter Mall and the river walk and though it has yet to reach it's full potential, the area has been markedly improved and new businesses, like the Best Western hotel, and Ruth's Chris Steak House, have creatively incorporated some of the old structures into their modern operations without harming the original appearance of the square.

Two elements of the restoration would be most noticeable to anyone familiar with the station in its last years as an actual passenger facility. The AMTRAK logo on the front of the building has been replaced and a recreation of the illustrious Southern Pacific Sunset window has been installed. At the same time the mezzanine structure installed immediately inside the main front area of the building was also removed. There were two architectural firms involved in the restoration of the complex. Ford, Powell & Carson, Inc., now conveniently located in one of the renovated buildings in St. Paul's Square, were given the responsibility for the restoration of the buildings' exteriors, cast stone ornaments and the stained glass. They were also the project's historians including, of course, a complete paint color survey. Kell, Munoz, Wigodsky, also of San Antonio, were in charge of the interior restoration and new construction, which includes the new pavilion, outbuildings, the plaza and landscaping.

There was a seemingly contradictory brief given to these firms. Restore as much as possible of the old structure while at the same time bring the entire complex up to modern standards. Also to change the function of the complex while keeping its old function highly visible and relevant. Not to mention adding air conditioning, modern plumbing and electrics as well as restaurant kitchens, dance floors and stages for performers. Of course, having surplus space to work with helped. To a large extent the warehouses were all but empty and there is no longer any need to maintain the old, nasty, duplication of customer facilities obligated by segregation. There are some things from the past which just ain't worth being kept!

The center piece of the restoration is probably the recreation of the magnificent stained glass window at the front. The one at the rear, of the Great Seal of the State of Texas, was intact, so even though work was needed to renovate it, at least it was there to be worked on. When it came to the front window, the architects and window makers, Cavallini Glass of San Antonio had nothing left of the original to work with. It had been removed almost thirty years earlier. The problem was extraordinarily complex. How to decide which particular Sunset logo had been used in 1902 and how to recreate an honest replica of the "jig-saw" pattern that held all the pieces of glass in place. Most of the old records had gone up in smoke in 1906 when the earth quake in San Francisco, and resulting fires, destroyed the Southern Pacific's general office. Even more remarkably, there were almost no close up pictures, and none in color, of the window. You'd think maybe some might exist from around the time of its removal, or before, but there was very little hard evidence to go on. Also take into account that the logo continued to change and evolve over time. It was adopted by the company in July of 1890. Fortunately, the Southern Pacific, though in the throes of "merging" with the Union pacific during this time, was able to come up with most of the valuable clues. Of all things, an old employee newsletter was found, with reminiscences of S.P. employees from around that time, like W. C. Averil, who had been a member of the engineering staff that was rebuilding(!) old Texas & New Orleans lines in the 1870s.

Unlike the company that restored the old I & G.N. windows in the Missouri Pacific station, who were able to find shards of glass shattered among the rest of the accumulated detritus in that building, Cavallini Glass and the architects, Ford, Powell & Carson, Inc., had to go strictly on historical research to recreate the window for Sunset Station. Everyone agrees that a truly magnificent job was done, which was the result of countless hours of research and preparation, followed by even more hours of painstaking labor by probably the best skilled craftsmen in the business today.

Another element of the project that took a lot of time was trying to get the correct colors to repaint the building. This required a substantial amount of historical analysis, as the building has had several paint schemes over the years. Paint samples were taken from around the structures, not all of which were always painted the same. The old Railway Express Agency building was set apart by using complimentary but darker tones, to make it appear both separate but also part of the overall purpose of the complex. Great care was taken in choosing the places from which to remove the paint chips. They tried to take them from the least sun exposed areas wherever possible. Examining the chips is a skilled art. The report goes into some detail about this. The chips ere examined under natural north light, using a variety of magnifications. Each layer of paint was examined, much like an archeologist goes through a site, strata by strata. Reference was made to known historical records and layers and color schemes were given approximate dates. Guides, such as the "Munsell Book of Color, 'Glossy Collection'" were used. The evolution of paints being made and chemical compositions, were also taken into account. If you have ever wondered about why it sometimes takes so much time and so much money to do a correct restoration, this should be giving you a little insight into how difficult it is to get a project like this, which has won so many awards, just right.

The old main building is now a comfortable bar, with a stage and dance flor at the front doors. Many of the elements of its train passenger days have been maintained or referred to in the design of the new fittings. This author is glad to report, however, that the seating is significantly more comfortable than the hard, wooden, upright benches that passengers had to use. One of the old benches is still there, for those who really want that old, nostalgic lack of comfort. The upstairs balcony areas were reconfigured to allow for through access, and the old walls creating separate offices have been removed. The old warehouses were turned into a number of different restaurants, allowing visitors to have some difficult but delightful choices to make when deciding where to dine. The old Wells Fargo building has become a dance club. It was decided that in order for the complex to do well in its new role as an entertainment complex, additional facilities would be needed. An exterior pavilion was built, in the area that fronts the old warehouses. Some other pleasant additions were made, such as a cooling water fountain. Needed shade trees were planted and just for that extra touch of mink on hot Texas days and nights, a cooling mist generator was installed to run along the edge of the old shaded walkways outside the restaurants.

The complex has had a fair amount of success and challenges in it's new role. It's fair to say that in any other city, which is to say one that is not so rich in other tourist and entertainment opportunities, the Sunset Station would be a roaring success. It has a good blend of dining and entertainment opportunities. It can play host to all kinds of events, from wedding receptions to wrestling matches. The old depot can host all kinds of events from intimate singer / songwriter evenings to the mighty funk machine of George Clinton. Tourists, however, are somewhat conservative, so despite being so close to downtown, it is not really on their agenda, unless they are train buffs, of course. Locals, likewise, stigmatize certain areas of town and avoid them, even though the reality of the area is very far removed from their preconceived ideas. By being on the "wrong" side of HWY 281, too many people have the crazy idea they are running the gauntlet just to drive past the depot, when it is simply a gentle and nicely restored section of town which was once the focal point of the city's commercial activity.

On the bright side, the sales team are tireless in their efforts to promote the place. They have had some stunning success stories, not the least of which was being selected as the venue for the beginning of "The Great Race" in 2002. This was a phenomenal event. Not only was it well attended, it was an event televised for national distribution. This author made his first visit to the depot for this event, and was struck by the almost staggering beauty of the buildings and the very obviously high quality of the restoration work. There was plenty of parking for visitors and the atmosphere was very relaxed yet purposeful. Our museum's garden railroad division was invited to set up their mobile display within the magnificent walls of the depot itself and we were able to inform a huge audience about our collections and activities. The day went off without a hitch and anyone who was visiting the restored depot for the first time went home with a much deeper sense of appreciation for the venue and its potential.

As this is being written, in January of 2003, the depot's staff is preparing to host a world record event, the annual "Cowboy Breakfast." This is one of the kick off events for the "Stock Show & Rodeo," which will be held in the newly built SBC Center for the first time. The breakfast holds the world record for being the largest such event in the world. It was held for years at a local mall, until it was closed, and it spent one year at a cowboy themed entertainment venue last year. This will be the first time the breakfast will be held at the depot. Its location, near to downtown and the Alamodome, will now really come into play as a huge asset, with the abundance of parking and public transportation facilities. This event will help to register the Sunset Station firmly into the pantheon of well known San Antonio destinations. It cannot be lost on any local historian that 2003 is the one hundredth anniversary of the depot. It is certainly beginning its second century of public service on an awesome note. Infinitely more people will come to the Cowboy Breakfast in 2003 than attended the opening of the depot in 1903. The depot is in good hands and its future is looking bright.

Résumé : South american countries have a similar cultural and political context around birth, together with historic processes. Almost every country in the continent has had or still has a strong, indigenous system of midwifery. They have also officially exported a biomedical model, included for the practice of modern obstetrics. This has generated a transformation in the way South American women are giving birth and in the options they have. This first article explores such social and cultural dynamics, as in relation to the practice of local midwifery and the new players that have emerged as a response to the over medicalisation of birth in the continent.

Résumé : In sharing elements of one woman's birth experience, the psychological harm it caused her, and the means she used (and continues to use) to understand, and come to terms with the experience, the paper highlights some of the distressing and harmful sequelae which can arise when a woman's disembodied experience of birth is accepted as normal and mainstream. Further it emphasises the need for healthcare professionals to actively work to safeguard women's emotional health, and the value of art as a means of confronting and recovering from birth trauma.

End of the Line for Tuna Commission
ICCAT Fails to Provide Protections for Atlantic Bluefin
Marrakech, Morocco, November 25, 2008 – The commission tasked with protecting Atlantic bluefin tuna has once again failed to save the species, according to World Wildlife Fund. The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) decided to ignore its own scientists' recommendations, setting catch quotas well above sustainable levels and allowing industrial fishing fleets to capture tuna at the height of its spawning period. Other avenues, beyond ICCAT, must now be explored in order to protect bluefin tuna.
At this week's meeting in Marrakech, Morocco, ICCAT endorsed a total allowable catch (TAC) of 22,000 tons for next year, completely disregarding the recommendations from its own scientific committee, which had recommended a TAC ranging from 8,500 to 15,000 tons per year, warning there were real risks of collapse at any TAC above 15,000.
"Over the past decade ICCAT has stood by while catches have reached up to four times the scientific recommendations. This is unacceptable and WWF has little choice but to look elsewhere to save the fishery from itself," said Mark Stevens, senior fisheries officer for World Wildlife Fund, speaking from Marrakech.
WWF officials noted that the U.S. initially had responded to the independent committee's scientific findings by submitting a strong proposal. But as other co-sponsor nations came under strong pressure from the European Commission not to support lower catch limits, including allegations of threats of trade retaliation, the U.S. gave in and joined the consensus. As a result, the final ICCAT plan allows not only higher than recommended TAC of bluefin, but industrial fishing during the spawning season, when bluefin congregate in huge numbers and are most vulnerable to the impacts of overfishing.
"ICCAT's string of failures leaves us little option but to seek effective remedies through trade measures," said Stevens. "WWF will actively push for a listing under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora [CITES] in the hope that stringent trade controls tied explicitly to the survival of the species will turn around the half-hearted attempt at fisheries management shown here by ICCAT."
The world's largest bluefin tuna trader, Mitsubishi, signaled earlier in November that it would "reassess" its "involvement in this business" should ICCAT continue to be unable to sustainably manage the fishery.
CITES next meets in Doha, Qatar in January 2010.

Tough smaller wideout fluid in & out of breaks top notch route runner.
When you are 5' 9 receiver you need to be physically & mentally tough person.
Usually means you will be delegated to the slot & put on slants right in the middle of the field where you could be up ended by a safety or even a big linebacker. Blocking is essential in the slot as your called upon on tight formations to run block in the trenches. Have to be able to take a inch to turn it into a mile. Make tough catches in traffic often contested pound through tackles for 1st downs.
At a glance, Spencer doesn't strike fear in the heart of opponents but don't let that fool you as he can make the tough grabs & break tackles against much bigger defender's.
Schnell is a tough player with killer instincts who knows how to get open. He knows the route tree well & runs through routes finishes keeps moving on the top of routes. Shifty quick in & out of breaks rapid stop n go. Knows how to get open sells fakes, quick stutters head nod he finds his way open. Spencer is open consistently he is a homerun threat or a security blanket. With great yard after the catch ability, toughness to run cross routes up the middle can take a hit keep moving forward.
Don't like making comparisons but I see a little Amendola in this young prospect. He can be a PR specialist too, which we know is where Amendola got his first opportunity on special teams. Not quite as speedy or gifted as Doug Baldwin but makes up for it with grittiness & heart. As well as his football IQ understanding of the offense vision in his lanes.
Kind of an underdog from the jump not highly recruited out of high school he played for Ohio U in 2014. Then chose to transfer to Illinois state where he redshirted 2015 but exploded on the scene in his 2016 debut. I see a similar route will be taken in the NFL or CFL. He might not be on many people's radar at the moment but eventually could be an exciting slot/ PR guy that will be an important piece to a teams roster. Some teams really value these smaller quick slot guys does add an extra element to any arsenal on offense.
