Policies & Conservation
Conserving and Enhancing the Built, Natural and Historic Environment
Guernsey has a complex history, which has uniquely shaped its environment and the Island we enjoy today. The roads, buildings, boundary walls, green lanes, ruettes tranquilles, earthbanks and vegetation (trees, hedges etc) all combine with the predominant use of land to create its character. It is easy to take this environment for granted because it forms part of every-day life - the buildings we live and work in, the streets where we meet people, the countryside that we look over or where we walk - but it needs careful management in order to ensure what is special is sustained whilst meeting the economic and social goals of the community.
The overarching aims of conservation derive from duties under the Law to preserve and enhance the island's built and natural environment. A suite of planning legislation provides 'tools' to support the way we manage change to sustain special character and interest of the built and natural environment
These tools allow for the designation of landscapes, areas, sites, monuments and buildings for special protection and the creation of policy and guidance through the development plans to protect their special interest and allow for their appropriate development. Some trees are exceptionally good and are afforded protection through the designation of a Tree Protection Order. Others are not so special but form and important part of the local character.
The natural environment provides a multi-functional role of not only providing a source of food, but also contributing to the landscape character and distinctiveness (for example, grazing cows, ploughed fields) as well as biodiversity, archaeology (for example maintaining historic field patterns), the health and well-being of islanders and managing ground and surface water.
The historic environment forms part of the building and natural environment. It is made up of all parts of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time, including all surviving physical remains of past human activity, whether visible or buried.
We sustain our historic environment for present and future generations, managing change in ways that protect and enhance its special character and interest whilst meeting the needs of those who live in it and care for it. We do this by committing to the principles set out in Principles for the Historic Environment [Link], providing input into policy and guidance providing expert advice on planning applications.
⇒ Principles for Sustaining Guernsey's Historic Environment [1Mb] sets out the main terms of planning legislation for Sustaining Guernsey's Historic Environment
⇒ CN2 - Conservation Areas [4Mb] sets out the main terms of planning legislation and policy for Conservation Areas. Please note this guidance is under review. The guidance document relates to the policies of the superseded Urban Area Plan and Rural Area Plan and may not be relevant or consistent with the policies of the newly adopted Island Development Plan 2016. Please refer to the relevant policies and Annexes of the Island Development Plan 2016 and contact the Planning Service should you require further information before submitting a planning application.
Sites of Special Significance (SSS)
Sites of Special Significance are areas which have special significance because of their archaeological, botanical, geological, scientific, cultural, zoological or other special interest and which it is desirable to preserve, enhance or manage.
They operate at the highest level of protection with the Law and its Ordinances placing significant constraints on development that might harm the special interest of a SSS. Also, Ordinance has extended the meaning of development within a SSS resulting in very few works being able to be carried out without planning permission.
There are 9 SSS sites designated in the Island Development Plan 2016. The boundary of each SSS is identified on the proposals map of the development plan. A brief description of each SSS site can be found in Annex VI of the Island Development Plan 2016.
Following the adoption of the Island Development Plan, we will prepare and publish Supplementary Planning Guidance for the whole or part of each SSS which will provide background information on the area including data on habitats and associated species and advice on how the site could be maintained or enhanced.
Protected Monuments
A Protected Monument is a monument, structure, cave, ruin or remain (but not a building) and can be man-made or natural features with human influence and may be above or below ground. They include structures such as steps and statues, as well as the numerous fortifications and menhirs through the island. There are about 350 Protected Monuments on the protected monuments list, although we occasionally add/remove monuments to/from the list.
Protected Monuments, including their setting, are very sensitive to new development. The Law, Ordinances and Planning policy offers them significant protection from harmful development. For example: there is no exemption development; and there is a strong presumption against development that affects a protected monument.
We select monuments based on CN9 Principles and Criteria for Protected Monuments [111kb].
You can search online for protected monuments.
A Protected Monuments Locations List [84kb] has also been prepared. Please note the Protection Lists can be amended at any time therefore please ensure you have the most up to date list.
Protected Buildings
Historic buildings are a precious and finite resource and are powerful reminders of the traditions, work and way of life of earlier generations. Those buildings that are special enough are placed on the protected buildings list for their 'special historic, architectural, traditional or other interest' and are known as protected buildings. CN1 Your Protected Building [217kb] and Protected Building FAQs [195kb] provides further details on protected buildings.
You can search online for protected buildings.
A Protected Buildings Locations List [179kb] has also been prepared. Please note the Protection Lists can be amended at any time therefore please ensure you have the most up to date list.
Each protected building has a Notice, which is the legal document that identifies the building and the extent of listing. Every part of a listed building is protected, including the interior and any later alterations or additions, unless stated otherwise
You can search and download the Notice for each protected building. CN8 Explaining the Notice [219kb] provide further information on the Notice.
Please note it is a criminal offence to carry out works to a Protected Building that require planning permission without prior planning consent.
We do have power to intervene where works are urgently required to preserve a building or to prevent its deterioration.
Protected Building Review
In 2012 a review of the protected buildings list commenced to ensure that all buildings have been designated appropriately and also to consider other buildings that may be worthy of listing.
We published the results of the public consultation Public Consultation Results of the Protected Buildings Questionnaire 2012 [116kb] and produced Survey FAQ's [90kb]
Objectives for the Review were agreed by the former Environment Board on 14th May 2013. The CN4 Community Guide to the Review of the Protected Buildings List [394kb] sets these out in detail.
⇒ CN6 - Criteria for the Selection of Buildings for the Protected Buildings List [463kb]
⇒ CN4 Community Guide to the Review of the Protected Buildings List [394kb] sets out the five stages involved in the project.
⇒ CN7 - Decision Making Process for the Review of Protected Buildings List [131kb] explains explain Stage 5 - i.e. how decisions are made on buildings considered in the course of Protected Building Review.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that the guidance in this section is currently under review. The guidance document in this section relates to the policies of the superseded Urban Area Plan and Rural Area Plan and may not be relevant or consistent with the policies of the newly adopted Island Development Plan 2016. Please refer to the relevant policies and Annexes of the Island Development Plan 2016 and contact the Planning Service should you require further information before submitting a planning application.
Conservation Area designation is a means of recognising the importance of the quality of the area as a whole and its setting, as well as protecting all the elements that make up the area - the streets, public spaces, boundaries, gardens, landscape and trees as well as buildings and the spaces in between.
⇒ CN2 Conservation Areas [4Mb] provides further information on Conservation Areas.
There are 26 Conservation Areas designated in the Island Development Plan 2016and the boundary of each conservation area is identified on the proposals map.
The includes Annex VII, which provides a Summary of Special Interest of each conservation area. These summaries are based on a report of Conservation Areas Report [7Mb]. Following the adoption of the Island Development Plan, we will prepare and publish Conservation Area Character Appraisals for each designated Conservation Area. These appraisals will set out in detail the special historic, architectural and townscape interest in order to manage development that sustains the special interest.
Protected Trees
A Tree Protection Order is a written order made by the Development Planning Authority of the States of Guernsey which, in general, makes it an offence to cut down, lop, top, prune, cut or compact the roots or the ground level of the root area, uproot, wilfully damage or wilfully destroy a tree without planning permission.
You can find out online of a tree is subject to a Tree Protection Order.
A Protected Tree Locations List [65kb] has also been produced. Please note the Protection Lists can be amended at any time therefore please ensure you have the most up to date list
⇒ AN4 Protected Trees [282kb] provides further details of Tree Protection Orders.
Prior to the introduction of the Planning Law in 2009, conditions were sometimes added to planning permission restricting the works that could be carried out to existing trees. If you have had planning permission and there are existing trees, please check your permission or submit a pre-application enquiry [731kb] for advice.

The Introduction to Fashion Textiles: Knit; Print; Embroidery unit aims to introduce you to your course and its subject specialism as well as to effective learning and studentship at undergraduate level. It will orientate you to the practices and knowledge base needed to understand your discipline and help you to develop your skills for independent and collaborative learning, reflection and your own self-development. Students come from many diverse educational backgrounds and a part of this unit will enable to reflect on your own background and how that shapes the way you approach your course. This unit has three core purposes: * To introduce you to your discipline in the context of study at a Higher Education level * To introduce you to learning skills and the requirements of effective studentship at undergraduate level * To orientate you within your course, the College and the University Emphasis is placed on the skills needed to locate, navigate and communicate information and ideas effectively and appropriately. You will be introduced to resources that support your studies. We will also discuss studentship, the importance of being an engaged and participatory member of the group and your own personal and professional development.
The Experimental Process: Knit; Print; Embroidery unit introduces you to a variety of research approaches for textile design and their relevance and application to the creative design process and realisation of ideas. Research and creative concepts are the basis for design ideas and this unit establishes the relationship between these areas and 2D/3D textile outcomes within a fashion design context. There will be a focus on the importance of research and creative concepts to inform the originality of design and its realisation. Visual communication and critical evaluation will be integral to this unit. You will be introduced to ways of recording your work in a visually stimulating, exciting and informative way using a variety of methods and media. You will be introduced to contextual textile practice and be expected to conduct independent research to develop design concepts within a relevant context, to realise and present innovative fashion textiles and related fashion design development ideas as appropriate for your specialism. Emphasis will be placed on the development of drawing and colour-focused presentation skills to develop design responses relevant to the project brief. The unit will also use IT programmes for design development, communication and presentation. You will be introduced to core practical skills within your textile specialism through demonstration and studio practice and will be encouraged to nurture innovation through an emphasis on drawing and an exploration of techniques. You will be asked to develop creative ideas that relate and expand upon your visual references to inform the final outcome and you will be encouraged to use resources in order to produce creative samples, which will further establish the link between 2D and 3D and the development of design. Independent study will help to further enhance skills learnt within sessions.
The Introduction to Industry Practice unit will ask you to research and develop a range of fashion textiles that shows your response to an identified market. You will be introduced to areas such as brand awareness, market levels, customer profiling and range building. Alongside your understanding of the fashion market you will need to critically evaluate the overall design quality of products. This unit will introduce you to an opportunity to work in cross-disciplinary collaborative activities that simulate industry practice. In response to a simulated and/ or professional brief you will be required to work in partnership or in small teams to contribute to the development and execution of core samples within a 'capsule collection'. The emphasis of this element is creative collaboration and team-working that balances the individual contribution within the collective output. Individually, this unit will also allow you to further research and critically develop sampling that show a specialist response to an identified market. The emphasis is on creative problem solving and developing solutions with your peers through discussion and negotiation, in your response to the brief requirements. Networking, communication, teamwork and presentation are all essential skills required to undertake the challenges of the creative industries.
London College of Fashion, UAL (LCF), is a leader in fashion design, media and business education. We have been nurturing creative talent for over a century, offering courses in all things fashion. We encourage students to examine the past and challenge the present. To have inventive, assertive ideas that challenge social and political agendas. We give students the skills, opportunities – and above all, the freedom – to put those ideas into practice. By leading the way in fashion design, business, and the media, we influence culture, economics and our society.This unit will provide you with a solid understanding of LCF' core values and how they connect to your practice. As part of this unit you will explore diversity, social responsibility and sustainability, themes which you will then apply to a selected project. At this stage the emphasis is on how you apply your thinking across these important themes to your practice. Your thinking is more important than a finished piece of work at this point.Fashion can change lives. Through teaching, specialist research, and collaborative work, this unit will get you thinking differently. We want you to use fashion to examine the past, build a sustainable future and improve the way we live. That's why we call this unit 'Better Lives'.
The Future Craft unit will require you to carefully consider the future of textile design and production through research and consideration of the environmental, social and cultural impact of your textiles on a global level. To illustrate this, a dual emphasis will be placed on the innovative use of traditional hand and craft techniques with digital processes to promote the idea of sustaining textile crafts in the future. Using the skills developed within Stage 1, this unit will further develop your research, analysis and design development techniques. It will prepare you to predict, influence and inform global forecasting that inspires the fashion industry as well as increasing your contextual knowledge and technical skills within your specialism. There will also be an emphasis on professionalism through portfolio presentation and the development of interpersonal skills through formative peer presentation. In this unit, you will be asked to explore the possibilities of creating and promoting a directional range of fashion textiles to external clients including real or simulated industry and/ or cross course designers. The use of appropriate industry relevant software packages will be further developed in conjunction with the design and technical skills sessions, and should be used as a vehicle for both experimentation and clear communication of design ideas within a professionally presented body of work.
The Work Experience unit will provide you with the opportunity to further develop your skills and apply them in a professional environment. You will experience real industry challenges and working practice and will be able to examine the way in which a professional team respond to different situations. The unit will increase your awareness of the industry and the opportunities for career progression. You will be expected to take an analytical and reflective approach to the work experience and will produce written and visual evidence of your knowledge, based on a minimum 10-week period in industry. LCF Careers will provide career guidance in order to prepare you for your work experience. You will be expected to engage and be proactive in securing your own work experience, relevant to your skills and career aspirations, this means applying directly to companies. You will also be expected to provide feedback on your experience both during and after your work placement. The College Placement Handbook will provide additional support for this Unit.
The Designer Identity unit will consolidate all of the processes that have been developed within previous units and challenge you to consider your place, role and identity within the fashion textiles industry. Through reflection and development you will be exploring your own design aesthetic and produce a body of work that shows an individual and directional response to client, market and product. This unit has two purposes: * individual creative textile exploration in response to brief; * realisation of textiles within cross discipline team collaboration. You will be required to identify a justifiable creative concept within your specialist field of practice and investigate a personal response to the brief that will culminate in a range of design outcomes showing a deep understanding of research, analysis, design development, experimentation and manufacture. The unit will enrich your research skills and provide a basis for your work, especially in your final year of study. This unit emphasises teamwork and will offer you the opportunity to work as part of a design team and will introduce you to a range of key employability skills. There will be an emphasis on an awareness of the market along with a knowledge and critical evaluation of an overall design quality. This unit provides you with an opportunity to explore and experiment with different critical and methodological approaches to research, while also introducing you to a range of established research methods and the role of research within design and technology. You will formulate a plan for future research into your subject specialism and construct a research proposal and presentation.
The Design Synthesis unit will inform and prepare you for the Final Major Project. You will be expected to negotiate a project brief that will allow for a full investigation into an exploratory research and practical journey culminating in a body of work that shows innovative design and technical experimentation with materials, process and potential 2D and 3D solutions to be considered, dependent on your specialist pathway. Projects may vary depending on your personal direction. You will be expected to engage in textile sampling and/ or prototype testing that will be evidenced through 2D and/ or 3D investigation as relevant to your specialism, within both your design and technical portfolios. The focus on this project is using your skills to show extensive documentation of creative experimentation in your specialist area of study considering hypothetical, analytical and physical conclusions. You will be expected to identify your proposed market and customer and, in a Statement of Intent, identify your core philosophy as a designer, in preparation for your Final Major Project. The completed investigations will form the basis of your collection for your Final Major Project.
The Final Major Project unit is the culmination of your undergraduate learning experience. Through the negotiation and development of a final major project you will be further demonstrating your innovative approach and deeper engagement, analysis and conclusions drawn from your Design Synthesis unit. You should now be refining and executing your design, design development and realisations established through a process of design synthesis. The negotiated Final outcomes will be individual fashion textile collections and/or balanced with 3D realisations through cross course collaborations highlighting the strengths of the partnership within each subject discipline. Through practical application you will be demonstrating your rigorous analysis in the exploration and development of your design ideas for fashion textiles. This unit provides the opportunity to apply your findings, discovered through your investigation of the challenges of your chosen brief. It evidences your ability to construct, direct and organise an overall professional outcome. This project is the vehicle for you to evaluate and reflect upon your own learning and skills in order to establish a potential career path.

Q: How to utilize a js minimization for a web site of a big organization I am looking for a JS minimization (maybe CSS as well) tool to use in our website. The site is fairly big and we cant manually minify files individually. We are also planning to use Long term caching for files and need to append like a version number to each file. I am afraid that this is very hard to keep track of when publishing frequently.
I know of tools like YUI Compressor, etc.. is there, but I am not sure how they are used for a big project like I have. Technically, I am looking for a script or an app that can be called after our development is finished to utilize it with the minified versions of files.
What are the common practices big companies use/follow these days ?? Any help is appreciated. I am just not sure what to search for.
Thank you.

A: I advise you to use a kind of makefile toolchain (there are many, for example ant or maven) to :

*

*concatenate your js files in one file

*then minify the resulting files (I use Google Closure Compiler, called with an ant target)

Note that making one file is the most important operation as on modern networks the latency due to the number of requests is much more a burden than the total size. This way you can easily work with dozens or hundreds of js (or css) files and don't hesitate to make a new one as soon as it helps the code source being readable and maintainable.
And this eliminates the need for the (manual or not) management of visible versionning of files for caching reasons.
As said recently in another answer, to help debug, my deployement scripts always make two versions in parallel : one non concatenated/minified and one concatenated/minified. The uncompressed version enables the development/test onsite without any deployement operation.

So we asked our students: "What kind of new territory are you claiming this new year? Are you taking up some stones this year? Are you making a statement? Are you placing a marker? Are you planting something firmly on new territory? And are you here to stay? What is your five-year plan? Where do you want to be come 2018?
It was a bit bold. Most of our students are in the middle of a seven-year plan already! They've set their hearts on ministry! And sacrificed a lot to be here. But we were projecting further into the future and asking, How's your 2020 vision? What about that place you have dreamed of that God has awaiting? Hey, it's time to take up some stones! To make statment about your life! "I am committed. God has made a way for me and I am here to stay." Plant some stones on new ground today!
SO, that was our big question at the start of a new year: What is your 2020 Vision? And how do you intend to get there?
(1) The first thing we suggested was the traditional five-year plan: make a list of the goals you want to achieve over the next seven years, and beside your A-goals, write down your possibilities, every possible way you can achieve those goals. Then begin to work your plan.
He began to see the future with the eyes of God. And his program was redesigned.

Owners of Verizon's Samsung Omnia can take the leap forward to Windows Mobile 6.5 with a cooked ROM that is available already. From what it seems so far, it is pretty stable and you'll be able to wow your friends with it. The cooked ROM for the GSM version of the phone has been available for some time now; so CDMA owners can rejoice. If you are really itching to try it, follow the steps provided on Modaco's web site and let us know what you think about it. We're not sure if the photo that was taken was of the actual cooked ROM running on the Omnia. The icon on the top right shows the phone is plugged in to a power source when in fact it is not. Still, it's a pretty looking image of what WM 6.5 looks like on the Omnia.
Would downloading this WM6.5 from Modaco void any warranty from Verizon?
Yes. Any ROM or program not specifically "Endorsed" by Verizon is subject to voiding your warranty. BUT...There is a ROM floating around that, as long as you don't completely brick your phone...can get it back to an original enough condition.
Umm....The picture is not of the i910, but the i900 GSM Omnia. The CDMA Omnia WM6.5 ROM doesn't have any battery display issues. On another note...huge thanks to WoZZeR and the rest of the guys at Omnia.modaco.com for making the phone completely worth owning.
i have the new cooked ROM on my CDMA i910 Verizon Omnia and love it so far! Love my unlocked GPS finally and running SpB Mobile Shell3 which is prolly the best UI out there you can get for Windows! Next I would have to say PointUI Home2!! I think tonight i'am going to flash my i910 to the WM6.5 ROM!!!
To my knowledge, Backup Assistant it not available on the Omnia...BUT, Google Sync is and will keep all of your contacts, calendar entries, even caller ID pictures backed up for you. SPB Shell is a completely different type of program. It doesn't change the ROM at all, so it doesn't matter if you install and then uninstall it. That's the great thing about a SmartPhone...If you set yourself up right, you can format the phone on the fly and have everything reinstalled fresh in an hour at most. That said...I am using WoZZeR's 6.5 M2D ROM, and so far, I'm quite happy with it. Though I will try out the 6.5 lite ROM with SPB MS3 tonight.
The Omnia doesnt have backup assistant. You should be using HTC data backup or Sprite backup for this type of phone. Or any WinMo PDA.
No, Spb Mobile Shell 3 makes the phone much more user friendly and fun!! Although PDA's/Smartphones cant install back-up assistance. But their are other and better options to back up your contacts,SMS, and other personal info!! The Omnia is definitely worth it!!
Silly question, but would the Winmo 6.5 ROM from Modaco work on or just fry my XV-6900? Got the Winmo 6.1 upload when I replaced my old XV-6900 and like to try and be cutting edge even if the phone isn't anymore. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Tnx in advance.

A chai latte is my favorite coffee house drink--I drink them warm in the winter and iced in the summer! I have made my own homemade chai latte recipe for a long time with regular tea--and decided that I would tweak the recipe a bit for use with Matcha tea. Regular green tea has never been my friend--but, I recently discovered Match green tea powder and really like it. Since I am really trying to decrease my coffee intake and increase my green tea, I brewed up a Matcha chai latte recipe this morning!
Note: We may receive slight affiliate commissions from links within our posts. We only link to items that we use personally and would recommend for our recipes or posts.
Dissolve the matcha powder. Warm the water--but, do not allow it to reach a heavy boil. Place the matcha into a mug or bowl and pour the hot water over it, mixing with a whisk. You could probably dissolve the matcha powder along with the spices--but, I like to do it separately.
Combine the matcha chai latte ingredients in a saucepan. Whisk together the spices, sweeteners, matcha solution, and milk in a small saucepan. Heat until it just begins to boil and quickly remove from heat. Add the vanilla extract. Strain the tea into a large mug and serve. Straining helps remove bits of undissolved spices and matcha so that the finished drink is smooth and "clean".
Serve. Froth if desired, top with whipped cream and serve.
Note: Matcha is much earthier than other teas--and spices or sweeteners may need to be adjusted to taste. I like to taste the matcha beneath the spices--but, you may need to adjust to suit your own flavor preferences.

Why it's awesome being a Solopreneur ?
Most people haven't heard the word solopreneur because it's only been used in the last few years. It is actually entrepreneurs who run their business all by them themselves and work alone. It takes a certain kind of person to be a solopreneur, largely because it's an exercise in self-empowerment.
It's not just a matter of running the business yourself as a solopreneur, you are the business. It falls to you to handle every responsibility and challenge. It's a sort of professional adventure and not one to be embarked upon lightly.
The effort involved in making your venture successful isn't a sacrifice—it's an investment, one with surprisingly exceptional returns. Being a Solopreneur sounds awesome, but it takes a lot of work to reach a status that makes clients want to reward you because of your incredible work.
For those who are inclined to the lifestyle and can work hard to achieve success, being a solopreneur could be really awesome & offers some very unique benefits.
Here are the top 5 things that are awesome about being a solopreneur.
Now who does not hate being in office politics. All these compitition, position, status, & job promotions drags us into being a part of office politics. The good thing about being a Solopreneur is we need not get into all these accusations. There's no one pushing to reach expectations and goals that are unrealistic. You're your only competitor. Need not whine and complain: As a solopreneur you are your reputation you have to be a problem solver to be in this business.
Chances are you are going to treat yourself better than your previous bosses. Being your own boss is an excellent feeling to experience. You will be setting the standard, values, goals and growth of your company.
When you commit to being a solopreneur, you suddenly pay attention to every detail, ultimately making your business experiences more meaningful and fulfilling.
Soon your business becomes more like the child that you have created, nurtured and watch grow every day. All you have to remeber is you have no boss to please & no employee to harass, as a solopreneur you are your Own Boss & employee too.
3. You already know your strengths.
Most solopreneurs start a business because of an existing skill set. When you engage in an activity you are truly good at, your excitement is visible, this is already your core strength. You might have a talent for creating art or providing Web/graphic design services. Your strengths are ultimately the keys to your success.
Utilizing your strengths provides you the best potential for achieving mastery. For a solopreneur Strength means Talents + Knowledge + Skills.
Being a solopreneur, one has to know that the rule is simple: You work, you eat. In other words, the solopreneur can only be as productive as they are willing to get. The more you work, the higher your chances of enjoying maximized economies of scale. On the other hand, calling it sick in one of those lazy days is more or less like failing to report to work, and even with that in mind, no one will bother you as long as you deliver according to your plans and objectives.
5. You are the jack of all trades.
A solopreneur is not an entrepreneur. As a solopreneur, you're everything in your business – quality control, operations, business development, accountant, human resources, driver, office assistant, cleaner & so on. Being a solopreneur is not as easy as it looks. It takes of lot of effort & skill to excel in a particular domain. Solopreneur is he who has mastered a particular trade but in order to survive in this competitive world, as a solopreneur you should also be jack of all trades.
What it takes for an Entrepreneur to build a high performing team.

Q: Accurate Transformation of Gauss Kruger to WGS84 and ETRS89 using PROJ.4 I have to transform Gauss Kruger coordinates to Long/Lat coordinates in WGS84 and ETRS89. I have really no knowledge about all these coordinate systems and their transformations. My background is just software engineering. I just have to do this, because our system only supports Long/Lat coordinates in WGS84 and ETRS89, but a few sub systems deliver only Gauss Kruger coordinates, so I need to transform them. I have to integrate the transformation in a Java application.
I made some research on my own an I tried using the Java library of PROJ.4, but I do not get accurate results.
I used it as follows:
proj +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=6 +k=1 +x_0=2500000 +y_0=0 +ellps=bessel +datum=potsdam +units=m +no_defs

For example, for

N: 5705784, E: 2944378

I get

Long: 12.377177, Lat: 51.314087

But the result should be:

Long: 12.375598, Lat: 51.312832

Is this difference normal?
How can I get more accurate results?
Other libraries are also fine.

A: With GDAL 2.2-dev I get results which are closer to those that you consider correct. The Proj.4 version in that build is proj-4.8.
gdaltransform -s_srs epsg:31466 -t_srs epsg:4326
2944378 5705784
12.3756178459526 51.3128099490148 44.7304746098816

I suggest you to check which version your library is and update if it is older as the first step.
You should also find out what is your reference implementation so that others can evaluate if that is something that is known to be good for your area (Germany?).

"PICTURE" HOW TO PREVENT DAMAGE CLAIMS
Have you ever taken pictures of your moves? What if you had pictures that could tell you in an instant why you were having damage claims? If you knew the cause of the claims, you'd have a good chance of preventing them.
Back in our early days at Peachtree Movers, damage claims got so out of control that I once (jokingly) told a friend that our official slogan should be, "We'll break your furniture for you very carefully." But it was no joke; claim expenses were exceeding move revenues. At times I thought that we were in business solely to support the furniture repair companies in Atlanta. Even our limited liability of $.60 per pound per article didn't prevent us from losing money. Something had to be done and preaching to our movers about being more careful accomplished nothing. The only feedback that I got from my supervisors was finger pointing such as, "You keep sending new guys out on the job and that's why there's damage." Or they'd like to blame the customer by saying, "You know a lot of times we get blamed for damage that we didn't cause but was already there." Or they'd blame their fellow workers by saying, "Some of our movers (whose names always remained anonymous) need to slow down and not work so fast because that's how the furniture gets torn up."
With no solution in sight, I tried another approach. I took my camera out to several office moves and shot pictures of every separate moving activity. I got pictures of dolling and undolling furniture, loading machine carts, pushing furniture, loading and unloading the elevator, pushing furniture through the building's main glass entrance doors, up and down the ramp and padding and loading the furniture onto the truck. I then met individually with all of my employees, showed them the pictures and asked them to tell me where they thought most of the damage was occurring. Even the "new guys" had no trouble identifying the problem—The consensus of opinion was that most damage occurred going on and off the elevator, through narrow entrance doors, and on the ramp. Large executive desks often rubbed against reception room and building glass doors and top-heavy file cabinets fell against elevator frames and walls while passing over elevator thresholds. Apparently, the incline of our "standard" 12-foot long moving ramps was too steep. Most damage occurred at the angle where the ramps met the pavement by sheering off edges of desks and knocking furniture off dollies. The steep incline made it difficult and dangerous to push heavy items such as loaded machine carts and fireproof file cabinets up the ramp. My movers tackled this problem by getting a running head start on the pavement. However, when they missed the center of the runway and crashed into the ramp, the furniture and carts went airborne.
With these "pictures" of the problems, I developed a unique patented device called Mat-A-Doors® and they do just that. Two reinforced foam vinyl-covered panels attach to the outer frame of a passenger elevator that is also used to haul freight. Since the Mat-A-Doors™ cover the elevator jambs and wall panels in front of the elevator with elevator pads, curtains and mats, the risk of damage from movers is greatly reduced to the furniture and the building surfaces. Mat-A-Doors™ are made of a durable vinyl material; fold up for compact storage and set-up in seconds. They can also be used to protect reception room and glass lobby entrance doors as well as the furniture passing through them.
I assumed that the solution for the ramp problem would be simple—Buy a longer truck ramp. Unfortunately, the "standard" longer truck ramps had a significantly lower load capacity and were too large to fit under my trucks. Without a longer ramp, the only solution was to have my movers switch from the ramp to the lift gate whenever there was a bulky or unwieldy piece of furniture. This didn't work, though, because they refused to switch back and forth—ramp—lift gate—ramp; and using just the lift gate proved to be too slow.
With no solution, ramp claims kept rising until one day I casually mentioned the problem to one of my rep from one of my moving company suppliers. To my pleasant surprise, he told me that he would discuss my "need" with the owners of his company to see if they could find a solution. Our conversation occurred in the spring of 1983 and by the summer of that year, all of my trucks were outfitted with a new and unique ramp. The customized ramp was 16 feet long, had a 4,000-pound load capacity and consisted of two 8-foot long sections that weighed only 100 pounds each. The ramp was locked into place in the middle by an adjustable support. The gradual incline ramp proved so successful in preventing damage as well as reducing the risk of workers compensation injuries, that it became our standard ramp for all of our new truck purchases.
When setting up the ramp, we eliminated the bump at the bottom by inserting a 1/16th inch thick steel plate that overlapped the pavement. The smooth taper prevented the casters from hanging up on the lip of the ramp and allowed the furniture to stay on the 4-wheel dolly on the trip up the ramp. Without a bump at the bottom to slam into, the casters lasted a lot longer, too.
So when conventional methods fail to identify the cause of your claim problems, try giving my approach a try—It just might work. Take pictures of your moves and solicit advice from your staff. Ask your moving equipment supplier to help, too. Since he visits lots of movers, he might know of a solution that's working for another mover who has a similar problem.

Bob Hinton (L) talks to Johnny Manziel (R).
DALLAS — The never ending saga of Johnny Manziel had another interesting turn this past weekend, but this time it wasn't Johnny's fault.
Bob Hinton, one of the attorneys on Manziel's defense team in his domestic violence case inadvertently sent a text message to the Associated Press with some major details on the pending case.
Included in the text was info that Hinton had received a receipt which may show that Johnny spent over $1,000 at the Gas Pipe less than a day after his car accident last week and that the defense team may be working on a plea deal.
When NewsFix interviewed him two months ago about the case he seemed optimistic he could get the former QB off.
But apparently Johnny's actions are looking less and less defensible every day, and everyone from the NFL, Manziel's agents, his family and now his lawyers are losing faith in the former Heisman winner.

Rare Games' upcoming pirate-themed online title, Sea of Thieves, experienced major success during its closed beta phase, with over 2 million hours played cumulatively by all the players.
Rare's Joe Neate was recently featured in an interview in Xbox: The Official Magazine's March 2018 issue, via WCCFTech, where he expressed his confidence and reiterated that the studio "feels good" about the game's launch offering. He continued to praise how quickly and cooperative Sea of Thieves' community is, sending feedback to improve the game's experience and helping the studio shape the game's experience to satisfy its fans.
Some of our toughest conversations are about what should make it for launch. We feel good about our launch offering, and that Sea of Thieves offers an experience like no other. We also feel great about how we plan to grow and evolve the game. Launch is just the start, and I'm so excited to begin this journey for real. For now, we remain focused on the launch experience, and we're committed to ensuring players have a great initial experience, and then we'll transition into our post-launch roadmap of features.
They [the community] have been a huge part. We knew from the start that we needed to build a community around the game, and to do that we needed to be as open as possible with our development and decision-making.
We'll do the same way beyond launch, and continue to take feedback from our community on how we are doing in this area. They're typically the first to tell us if we're not sharing enough information or rationale behind our decisions, and we love that they keep us honest.
We were always well-prepared for the Xbox One X version. We had already done a lot of work in terms of 4K assets and HDR lighting because of our work on the PC version, so it was pretty smooth to just get it up and running. Now we've pushed it pretty far, with the game running in native 4K, supporting HDR, with high-resolution textures and shadows and support for Dolby Atmos.
Sea of Thieves releases on PC and Xbox One on March 20th. Check out our initial impressions of the game, and the top 10 things you need to know before the game's release.

Doctor Dressed as Joker Delivers Baby on Halloween
I respect this doctor's decision to make sure a baby's first sight is The Joker.
Source: peopledotcom.files.wordpress.com / Via: people.com
A doctor on Halloween dressed as Heath Ledger's version of The Joker for The Dark Knight delivered a baby in full costume in Henry County Medical Center in Paris, Tennessee. Dr. Paul Locus was all set to hand out candy on Halloween dressed as The Dark Knight's gothic villain when baby Brittany Selpth was born a few days ahead of her planned November fifth due date, when her mother's water broke on Halloween morning. The doctor was all set to remove his gothic costume when the parents insisted he stay in it. Her father, Justin, explains —
"When we found out he was dressed for Halloween that day, as The Joker. We found it very humorous and a little excited that we would have a baby delivered by The Joker."
Humorous!? Tell that to the poor souls of Gotham City!
The husband added later — "There my wife is, staring the Joker straight in the eyes while delivering our baby, what a sight! I was holding her leg up, and snapping pictures! I was going to go Facebook Live, but the nurse cut me off!" This feels like convergence of every bad thing our current pop cultural landscape had to offer. Except the part where a baby's first sight is the face of the Heath Ledger Joker! That is dope!
The doctor contacted them the next day, out of costume (this story's weird, but not "man who dresses up as The Joker every day" weird) and said "Sorry, I couldn't make it in last night, glad to see the delivery went well." And we know it's not the Joker because the Joker would NEVER say sorry. The doctor then left a card inscribed "Dr. Joker". Anyway, let's take a look at the baby whose first sight was the Heath Ledger Joker.
Oh heck yeah. Honey, have we ever told you about the story of your birth? It was on Halloween and the doctor's costume was "2008 Basic". If my future child's doctor even thinks of delivering him as Pennywise, he can back away. It's Comic-Con fabulous Harley Quinn or nothing!
What do you think of this doctor's attempt to be a baby delivering Joker? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter at @WhatsTrending.

U.S. inability to end wars and address climate change is a security threat
Desert Sage column
Algernon D'Ammassa
The United States' participation in the war in Yemen is a massive war crime requiring immediate cease and reparations.
Under President Barack Obama, in 2015 we joined a coalition led by Saudi Arabia, providing essential support for a bombing campaign supposedly aiming to defeat the Houthi side in Yemen's civil war. For us, this was about countering Iranian influence.
It soon became clear that our Saudi ally was indiscriminately bombing civilians and their infrastructure, targeting food supplies and distribution, along with schools, factories, and hospitals, all with our help. By conservative estimates, at least 17,000 civilians have been killed or injured while eight million face starvation. At least 22 million are in need of humanitarian aid.
With the targeting and logistical support of the United States, Yemen has been destroyed as a functioning state, yet we continue to participate as if powerless to withdraw, despite the fact that the carnage could not continue without American and British support.
Even with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo seeking an exit, some lawmakers professing horror, and the Trump Administration willing to pull back some assistance (so long as $110 billion in arms sales are not threatened), there remains strong bipartisan support for destroying civilian life in Yemen.
Just this week, U.S. House Republicans used a sly maneuver to kill a floor vote on a resolution that would have invoked the War Powers Act to force a congressional vote over whether to direct the president to pull out of Yemen. Democrats have killed similar efforts in the past.
The United States wields the greatest military force the world has ever known, even if the bipartisan National Defense Strategy Commission worries that we are more imperiled than ever.
The commission has its eyes on strategic rivals Russia and China, but there is a broader, immediate threat.
We enjoy an unparalleled capacity to wage war on multiple fronts. We are clearly willing to divert all the resources necessary to maintain an overwhelming advantage of force. The current military budget is a direct $716 billion, four times more than China spends and 10 times more than Russia.
Yet we have also demonstrated an abject failure to conclude wars, and the costs are piling up not only in dollar figures, but in our ability to marshal resources for other human challenges.
The U.S. war in Afghanistan, in its 18th year, is the second-longest war in our history, gaining on Vietnam. We remain engaged in Iraq and Syria and 74 other countries through counter-terrorism operations.
The Watson Institute for International Affairs estimates the cost of the U.S. wars following the September 11 attacks, not only on defense appropriations but other federal obligations consequent to these wars, at $5.9 trillion.
If somehow these wars ceased by 2023, we would still be faced with an additional $808 billion, yielding a total of at least $6.7 trillion before interest costs and escalating benefits and disability services for the veterans of multiple wars.
Beyond the scope of the Watson Institute report are the environmental impacts of war as fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions lead to accelerating and multiplying impacts on human civilization.
Weather conditions exacerbated by climate change even threaten half of the military installations acknowledged to exist by the Pentagon in a January report.
The recent elections demonstrate voters' ability to transfer power from one party to another, but we still have work to do goading both parties into debating what really makes a nation secure beyond military might and imperial dominance.
Any lawmaker not working to get us there needs to be challenged and compete politically with leaders committed to that vision.

The brainchild of two Shannon Hotel Management graduates, Ted Robinson and Daniel McLoughlin, the emphasis at Shoda Market Café is on good quality wholesome food, artisan coffee and a unique wine offering.
Seats 120. Open Mon-Sun, 8am-6pm, also D Fri & Sat. Shop. Private parties; outside catering. MasterCard, Visa.
Situated beside the main entrance to Glenroyal Hotel but independently operated, Shoda Market Café was opened in 2016 by two Shannon Hotel Management graduates, Ted Robinson and Daniel McLoughlin, and is proving a great addition to Maynooth hospitality.
The menu is not extensive: there is something for everyone - and special dietary requirements are willingly met - but the message is simple and wholesome.
Tasty light meals such as baked potatoes or quiche come with three salads of your choice; hot daytime main dishes may include Spanish lamb and chorizo casserole served with couscous or perhaps a beef goulash. There are daily specials too, though - typically roast loin of bacon with sausage stuffing, and perhaps chicken jalfrezi. On Friday and Saturday evenings they also open for dinner, which allows Chef Dmitrijs Nikitins and the team to flex their culinary muscles a bit more, offering a short menu of mainly Mediterranean influenced dishes that are very fairly priced.
But, although (as proclaimed on their outside wall) 'it's all about the taste' at Shoda, that doesn't necessarily mean food: it's just as much about the drinks. Not only do they have a bespoke range of coffees, for example - including the usual espresso and Americano, of course, alongside speciality options and guest coffees - and a menu of traditional and herbal teas, but they even have their own exclusive wine range, La Madura, which is supplied by a small family vineyard in the Saint-Chenin region and imported directly by Shoda for their house wines.
Food, coffee, wine and service all bear the hallmarks of a team determined to do something special in a simple way - and Shoda is clearly living well up to the expectations of the many happy customers who regularly beat a path to the door.

A real estate developer thinks outside the box to help tackle the homeless crisis.
You don't normally associate entrepreneurs with potential solutions to homelessness. That's exactly what Joe Patel, managing partner of Nikki Investments, a real estate development group, wants to change.
"If we don't become part of the solution then who do we turn to? You can't just rely on the government," Patel says.
The recently released 2017 Homeless Count shows the homeless population soared 23 percent last year in Los Angeles County, and there are now 57,794 people living in cars, shelters, and on the streets.
"Several hundred people die on the streets of LA County every year. So finding permanent housing for our homeless neighbors is always urgent," says Chris Ko, the director of homeless initiatives and Home for Good at the United Way of Greater Los Angeles, which works with East West Bank and the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce on action plans to end homelessness.
These partnerships played an important role in the creation and passage of Measure H, a quarter-cent sales tax, which will raise $355 million annually for 10 years, and Proposition HHH, a $1.2-billion bond measure to build housing for the chronically homeless. In a dramatic move, voters approved both measures, and now, Ko shares, private developers will play a crucial role.
"The funds from Prop HHH will primarily be granted to private developers with the resources needed to not just build permanent supportive housing but to ensure that they're properly operated once residents move in," Ko says.
That's where entrepreneurs like Patel come in. He and Nikki Investments have developed a model that he says can be replicated nationwide. Working with East West Bank's commercial real estate banking division, they purchase vacant or underutilized property, carry out extensive refurbishing and upgrades, and then lease it out to trusted organizations that specialize in providing housing, medical and mental health services, and education to the homeless.
Patel partners with Rev. Richard Reed, the executive director of First to Serve Inc.—a state certified and licensed non-profit organization—to provide three supportive housing facilities in Los Angeles. On any given night, First to Serve provides up to 700 beds for the homeless, and offers comprehensive medical, mental health, and substance abuse treatment, counseling for domestic violence, social services, and various forms of housing for the homeless.
"My future is bright. I'm excited for new things to come."
Somebody like Ronnisha Allmond is a good example. A soft-spoken single mother currently living with her daughter, Love, at a First to Serve family shelter in South LA, Allmond was homeless while she was pregnant and slept in a car. She and her daughter moved to the shelter in 2016, where she got counseling to treat her anxiety, and they now live in their own room in an apartment-like setting.
Allmond plans to move into permanent housing in a few months with First to Serve's help, and to get her job back at the post office.
"You are part of helping someone pick up the cross and walk again. It's priceless," Reed says.
More of this type of housing is in demand. The Los Angeles County Homeless Services Authority estimated that 14,000 more units of permanent supportive housing countywide are needed to house the homeless. Through Proposition HHH, the city will contribute up to a third of the cost for permanent supportive housing projects.
"Permanent supportive housing is a fairly new solution, but it's one we know works. It's 90 percent effective and 43 percent cheaper than leaving someone on the streets," Ko explains.
"It's a much needed approach, and we are committed to helping to fill this critical need in the community," says Robert Lo, executive vice president and head of commercial real estate banking at East West Bank.


Who would've thought? It's December already, typically a month for presents, either for beloved ones or for ourselves. I've been writing about Tunisian crochet almost all year long, so of course now I have to make another post on the subject, and more specifically on TC-related presents.
If you think it's time to purchase some long hooks and books to study and make practice, allow me to help you through the many choices out there. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm enjoying a collaboration with Italian blog "Maglia-Uncinetto.it" with my reviews and opinions about TC books and such (and in the future I'll write about other crafty subjects, too), but I still haven't been able to translate my reviews in English. Though, since there are many English reviews about these books, so far I'll tell you briefly about the ones I really like, and I suggest you go and search for other reviews on the web.
Let't think about the hooks, first.
What catches one's eye when they first encounter TC is the oh so pretty ("but how do you manage to hold it-that's huge!") long hook, or the fascinating yet odd-looking cabled one ("now, what on earth is that?"). As with other crafts, you can buy cheap instruments, or you can choose higher quality sets. I myself began with rigid hooks found at my local market, "Pony" was their brand. They were awful. The tip was so round, every stitch hurt my wrist - and oh, they were sticky. No yarn went smoothly on them. Bad experience, I recommend you not to choose these. My very first set, on the other hand, was a no-brand bamboo set of cabled hooks I purchased on Amazon. Very very cheap, but nice to work with nonetheless. They have a decent tip, and I still use them from time to time. If you like wooden instruments and you've never tried TC but want to without spending lots of money, I say try these. Many experts will tell you not to buy them as they're no high quality instruments: of course they are not, this I'm aware of and I think you are too, but if you fear you might not like the technique they might be a better choice than an expensive set you might never use twice in your life.
If you have a few more money to invest in hooks, I'll tell you my favourite brand is KnitPro (aka Knitter's Pride), and more specifically their Trendz series. There you can choose between long and rigid hooks and cabled ones, depending on your personal taste, and they have double-ended ones too. The sizes range from 5 mm to 12 mm for all three kinds, and they're pure delight to work with. They're so smooth, the tip is pointed but not too much (it doesn't ruin the yarn), the hook is deep and therefore they're great for both simple and complex stitches. Strongly recommended. I also like other series by KnitPro, such as Symfonie, but they're more expensive and have less sizes, so I suggest try Trendz first, then if you fall in love with TC there'll be plenty of hooks to buy later on.
My second choice, but just because of personal taste, are Denise hooks. They're shorter that KnitPro's so having rather big hands I personally find them a bit less comfortable during the first minutes of work at least: I need some time to get used to their size, but then everything is smooth. Denise hooks' tips are less pointed than Trendz' but that's no problem, because they get through the stitches just as well. What makes them really interesting to me is that they range from 3,75 mm to 15,00 mm - gotta love a nice 15,00 mm hook! They also come in cute cases besides the classic plastic ones, so they might be a nice, good-looking present.
Are you bored enough? Well, enough for today. Next time, I'll tell you about some interesting books that might come in handy to make practice with your brand new hooks.

During 1901-1902, a group of Presbyterians in Douglas met occasionally for services that were conducted by Rev. Edgar Tufts and Rev. John McDowell Alexander Lacy, who served as pastors of the Hazlehurst Church. These services were conducted in the Methodist Churches and Baptist Church. Two trustees for the group, F.S. Hart and Dr. John M. Hall, purchased a building site on the NE corner of Ward St. at Coffee Avenue for $40.00; construction began March 8, 1902. At the 1903 meeting of Presbytery, Rev. J.M.A. Lacy reported that the church had been organized, and it was enrolled by Presbytery.
Charter members included: Mr. & Mrs. T. O. Hart, Mr. & Mrs. T. S. Hart, Helen LaPrade Hart, Mrs. LaPrade, Mrs. W. P. (Euphrenia Sloan) Bellinger, and a Mr. McHargue. William Sumner Harden, a ministerial student, served the Douglas Church during 1904-1905 and became pastor in 1906, conducting services and organizing a Sunday School. Following this, the Home Missions Committee sent ministers and laymen to conduct services in the Douglas Church.
The Douglas Church became self-supporting during the pastorate of Rev. Frank L. Elvery (1940-45). Plans for a combination educational building and worship service facility were made during the pastorate of Rev. James L. McGirt (1946-52). This facility was erected in 1953 at a cost of $30,000. The new sanctuary was planned and erected in 1963-64 during the pastorate of Rev. Flay Riddle (1962-68). The building, which is the present sanctuary, cost $100,000 and was consecrated on September 13, 1964. On September 12, 1982 the Church celebrated the retirement of the construction cost mortgage in full, and the dedication of the sanctuary along with the burning of the note.


Make personalized identification cards for parties or for your company. Works with both paper cards as well as plastic badges.
This program lets you create custom-made ID cards for the staff of your company. At startup, you will see a wizard that lets you choose the type of card you want to create. Once you have chosen a template, the main interface will open, allowing you to edit all its elements. You can add the photo of the employee, as well as his/her name, position and other information. Also, you can change the background by choosing any of the program's default images, or uploading a custom one. Also, you can edit the background by adding shapes and other elements. Interestingly, you can also add a magnetic band to the back of the card, providing that you have the hardware to do so.
The program is not very easy to use. It requires a time to get accustomed to it due to its many functions and options. It is not very affordable either.
To download the shareware version, you need to fill a request. Once you have done this, a new webpage will open, showing the download link.
You can use the shareware version during 14 days. If you like the program and intend to use it longer, then you will need to purchase a license.
