A different kind of Beginner-level book 5: Pronunciation
Pronunciation: Really? Do I have to?
While the bulk of Beginner coursebooks on the market are pretty uniform when it comes to the way they handle grammar and – to some extent – vocabulary, there seems to be little consistency when it comes to pronunciation and what to teach. Headway Beginner doesn't have any pron sections at all (though it does provide consistent guidance on word stress and provides drills of grammar/words). Global has a number of 'connected speech features'. English Unlimited has ten sound-spelling features (though sometimes these start from the spelling and sometimes they start from the sound). English File has twenty-four short sections mainly focused on sound-spelling, starting from the sound and aiming to teach the phonetic script. It also has its famous picture sound chart. Navigate has around twenty sections generally connected to grammar drills, but also linking and word/sentence stress. It also has ten sections connected to listening, some of which might be described as phonology for listening. And no doubt there are further variations to be found in other books. The only consistent feature is 'spelling out' which I would argue is neither pronunciation nor phonology for listening, but would be better described as vocabulary. As I argued in a previous post, we think this is unnecessary at beginner.
I think this reflects a more widespread issue with pronunciation in ELT where teachers don't see how individual pronunciation work fits in to a lesson. Some teachers also feel uncertain (unjustifiably, I think, on the whole) about their own accents as models for their students. And some – perhaps most – feel at a loss when faced with the 'wrong' pronunciation and feel unable to help students change to a more widely intelligible version. These issues can be made worse by the nature of the (global) coursebook. The result is that pronunciation sections can get skipped and pronunciation is largely avoided.
Pronuciation as grammar
I think that one of the problems is having a section called pronunciation in the first place (hats off to Headway here). What happens when you do this is that pronunciation gets treated like grammar.
It becomes atomised: we look at individual sounds or an individual feature.
It might have an explanation / rule.
It should build from simple to complex and we should avoid repetition of points where possible.
This creates problems. Firstly, the sound system is working all together from the beginning. While it is possible to restrict words and grammar, it is nigh-on impossible to do the same with pron. Just the numbers 1-10 contain 18 distinct sounds! Add Hello and What's your name? and you have six more. In the first unit of any beginner course, you could expect nearly all the sounds in English to appear. From that point of view, it seems a bit perverse to focus on only two or three sounds. Add to that the fact that students may already produce those sounds in their own language, then many tasks start to seem like a bit of a waste of time. We might also add that many students actually relatively (i.e. with a fair bit of listening and repetition) do approximate 'new' sounds in English. But if they can't, the coursebook will offer little help to support the students/teacher. That's because we can only change the students sound if we understand how they are making the sound they are making and how this relates to the sound they want to make. These are technical matters and basically have to be done in the moment with a negotiation between the teacher and student.
The second issue for me is that I am not sure that pronunciation is presented the right way round. It seems to me the bigger global issue for students is understanding how spelling relates to sounds rather than how sounds relate to spelling. What students really need is some form of systematic phonics. English Unlimited goes some way along this route. Over nine sections, it covers 32 spelling-sound combinations. By way of comparison, our spelling-sound reference based on all the words students encounter in Outcomes has 116 combinations. What's more, I would estimate that 100 of those combinations occur within very basic words over the first two or three units. I think the English Unlimited sections are a good idea, but we have to recognize that they cannot actually cover the needs of many students – especially ones who don't share the roman alphabet – and the difficulty they face learning to read fluently in English. And where there is a problem, it's unlikely to be solved in one exercise in the same way grammar is not learned this way.
Writers often avoid the issues around dealing with individual sounds by looking at features of connected speech. At beginner level, people reasonably focus on connected speech, but there is a question whether these should or can be presented as rules.
Pronunciation, reading and phonology for listening
In a previous post, I explained how we don't teach the names of letters or encourage spelling out in Outcomes Beginner and the reasons behind these decisions. One reason I mentioned was that it clashes with the real need of students at low levels, which is on the one hand to replicate the sounds in English and on the other to sound out – i.e. match the words they see with the sounds the letters represent. In this post, I want to explore this issue further by considering the role of phonemics in low-level courses and then also think about the difference between teaching pronunciation and phonology for listening. These are themes which I am still developing my thoughts on, to be honest, and as with other areas of the coursebook syllabus, they are very much subject to restrictions from what publishers perceive teachers will accept. As always, we welcome comments.
Not for absolute beginners
Before I get further into this, I should say that in keeping with other mainstream global coursebooks such as Headway and Cutting Edge, Outcomes Beginner assumes some recognition of the Roman script. If students do not know the script, then they will need at least some fairly substantial work before or alongside work in the main book. I will explain the support we give later.
Sounds and letters – when should the two meet
I believe Adrian Underhill recommends avoiding the matching of sounds with letters in pronunciation work. His idea is to work with the phonemic chart to develop the physical awareness of how sounds are made in order to replicate them. I have a lot of time for his approach in Sound Foundations, where he suggests working with the physicality of sounds – and for those (un)lucky enough to use Innovations Elementary, you will see a selection of rather dubious photos of me sticking my finger on the end of my tongue to demonstrate how certain vowel sounds are made. Richard Cauldwell (of whom more later) also discusses the problem of the 'sight' forms of words.
However, I personally think that the separating of pronunciation and letters is not exactly the way to go when it comes to beginner students. Firstly, the ability to read is a fundamental tool for support and development of language learning and it seems to me that this is the priority. Secondly, I would question how far teaching a form of phonics (the sounds connected to letters) does stop you teaching pronunciation. But thirdly, I would actually question how far the ability to produce 'good enough' approximations of English sounds is the bigger problem for the majority of students. Of course students have accents and some can at times be difficult to understand, but as Jennifer Jenkins' work makes clear, in many cases this a problem seen from a native speaker point of view, when the vast majority of interactions in English will happen between non-natives.
Replicating English sounds – words and phrases first
To some extent, my comments here have been shaped both by teaching beginners and by some reflections on learning some Russian (pitifully limited though this might be). My feeling is that for the most part, students do pretty well in replicating the sounds of words and phrases and, in fact, might generally be better at larger units than single sounds. So, for example, while students may struggle to say ow accurately on its own, they may produce flower to a reasonable standard. This may also apply for bigger chunks. A student may struggle to produce the final consonant cluster in next, but actually be quite clear when they say next time or next week, where the final t is elided anyway. As a rule, in Outcomes Beginner, students repeat words and short phrases. On the page, we've used bolding to direct students to the stressed sounds.
Pretty much everything is recorded – words, exercises, dialogues, reading texts. However, I would see these recordings as much as a tool for self-study as anything else. In the class, I think teachers should model, drill, get repetitions, use backchaining, use gesture, and so on to help students get their tongues round the words. As I said before, it's often the real moments of interaction that help to overcome pron problems.
More than just pron
The second strand of pron work we provide is recordings of phrases (usually in the grammar sections), said at different speeds including the kind of fast versions that students might hear outsdie of class. This is a sensitizing thing more for phonology than production influenced by Richard Cauldwell's work, but I think there is a value in getting students to experiment productively with fast speeds and that faster speed speech often presents simpler versions of pronunciation.
Each unit also ends with a listening and pron task that reviews language in the lesson. Initially, this involves recognising sentences said at speed (from a selection on the page) and then practising them first just as pron and then as short exchanges. Later, we start to look at matching spellings of key words from the unit to sounds, repeating them, and finally thinking about basic collocations.
The principle here is that students should get more than just 'pronunciation' from a pronunciation section. It should lead to other production or a broader interaction or revision and expansion of words students have studied.
A Phonics reference
Finally, in the back of the book there is a full list of phonics – letters and letter combinations and the sounds they produce. Ideally, this would be linked to words in an IWB, but currently it's not. It's an attempt to introduce the idea of phonics more broadly as a reference. In reality, students who are finding difficulties or who have a limited knowledge of the Roman script will need much more work than this provides, but perhaps this might offer both students and teachers a framework to group words and do daily ongoing work.
You can try sample units from all six different levels of Outcomes here.

The whole discipline of optical measurement techniques can be roughly subdivided into the two areas of photometry and radiometry. Whereas the central problem of photometry is the determination of optical quantities closely related to the sensitivity of the human eye (see � II.6.), radiometry deals with the measurement of energy per time ( = power, given in watts) emitted by light sources or impinging on a particular surface. Thus, the units of all radiometric quantities are based on watts (W). According to CIE regulations, symbols for radiometric quantities are denoted with the subscript �e� for �energy�. Similarly, radiometric quantities given as a function of wavelength are labeled with the prefix �spectral� and the subscript �λ� (for example spectral radiant power Φλ).
Remark: The definitions of radiometric quantities cannot be understood without a basic comprehension of differential quantities. For an intuitive understanding of these quantities, which is the main purpose of this paragraph, the differential quantities dλ, dA and dΩ can be regarded as tiny intervals or elements ∆λ, ∆A and ∆Ω of the respective quantity. As a consequence of the fact that these intervals or elements are very small, radiometric quantities can be considered constant over the range defined by dλ, dA and/or dΩ. Similarly, dΦe, dIe, dLe and dEe can be regarded as small portions which add up to the total value of the respective quantity. In paragraph II.5., the concept of differential quantities and integral calculus is briefly explained for spectral radiometric quantities.
As the area A is proportional to r�, this fraction is independent of the actual choice of r.
If we want to calculate the solid angle determined by a cone, as shown in Fig.II.area A is the area of a spherical calotte. However, as the solid angle is not only defined for conical parts of the full visual field, area A can be any arbitrary shape on the sphere�s surface.
Radiant power Φe is defined by the total power of radiation emitted by a source (lamp, light emitting diode, etc.), transmitted through a surface or impinging upon a surface. Radiant power is measured in watts (W). The definitions of all other radiometric quantities are based on radiant power. If a light source emits uniformly in all directions, it is called an isotropic light source.
Radiant power characterizes the output of a source of electromagnetic radiation only by a single number and does not contain any information on the spectral distribution or the directional distribution of the lamp output.
Fig. II.7. The radiant power of Φe of a light source is given by its total emitted radiation.
In general, radiant intensity depends on spatial direction. The unit of radiant intensity is W/sr.
Fig. II.8. Typical directional distribution of radiant intensity for an incandescent bulb.
In this relation, λ is the angle between the direction of the solid angle element dΩ and the normal of the emitting or reflecting surface element dA.
whereby J is the angle between the emitting surface element dA and the direction for which Ie is calculated.
The unit of radiance is W/(m2.sr).
Fig. II.9 � Irradiance is defined as incident radiant power dΦe per surface area element dA.
The unit of irradiance is W/m�.
The integration is performed over the solid angle of 2π steradian corresponding to the directions on one side of the surface and J denotes the angle between the respective direction and the surface�s normal.
The unit of radiant exitance is W/m�. In some particular cases, Me= Ee (see � II.8.a).
The radiometric quantities discussed above are defined without any regard to the wavelength(s) of the quantified optical radiation. In order to quantify not only the absolute amount of these quantities but also the contribution of light from different wavelengths, the respective spectral quantities are defined.
This equation can be visualised geometrically (see Fig. II.10.). As dλ is infinitesimally small, spectral radiant power Φλ(λ) is approximately constant in the interval between λ and λ+dλ. Thus, the product Φλ(λ) dλ equals the area under the graph of Φλ(λ) in the interval between λ and λ+dλ. This area describes the contribution of this very wavelength interval to the total value of radiant power Φe, which is graphically represented by the total area under the graph of spectral radiant power Φλ(λ).
The unit of spectral radiant power is W/nm or W/�.
Fig.II.10. Relation between spectral radiant power Φλ(λ) and radiant power Φe, visualized at a hypothetical example. Radiant power emitted in the wavelength interval between λ and λ+dλ is given by the area of the shaded rectangle, which amounts to Φλ(λ) dλ. The total amount of radiant power Φe emitted over the whole spectrum is given by the area under the curve describing Φλ(λ), which is mathematically expressed by an integral.
as the UVA range is defined from λ= 315 nm to λ = 400 nm.

An ellipsis, a special character that looks like three periods (…) indicates an omission of wording within a quote or dialogue. In fiction they should be avoided except where a speaker is trailing off, not being interrupted. In non-fiction they should only be used for verbatim quotes where one or more words has been omitted. When it occurs within the sentence, a space is placed after the ellipsis: e.g. 'and he looked upon Jesus… and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"' (John 1:36).
Ellipses can also be used to indicate a break in thought or a hesitation in mid-sentence: e.g. 'If they could only see the nonsense of the words… if only… things would be so different.'
Ellipses are to be used at the beginning of an open quotation unless the quotation flows naturally as part of the sentence.
The following keyboard sequences are to be used:
After a full stop
When an ellipsis appears after a full stop, or another form of punctuation indicating the end of a sentence, use the sequence: full stop, space, ellipsis. This is so that the ellipsis is joined (no spaces) with the text it is meant to be immediately following or immediately preceding. For example in the case of a dramatic pause or where someone is finishing a sentence having just been cut off.
'Whatever!' Tracey shouted. 'You are a—' Her words were drowned out temporarily by the mower passing outside. '…hate you.'
After other punctuation
When an ellipsis appears after other punctuation, use the sequence: punctuation mark, space, ellipsis, word.
But no space between an opening quotation mark and an introductory ellipsis (same applies to a finishing ellipsis and its closing quote mark):
He was still talking. '…until yesterday, we all knew where we stood, but then the new boss came and changed the rosters, the pay rates, the hours of operation…'
At the end of a sentence
When an ellipsis is used to eliminate words that would have completed the sentence, use the sequence: ellipsis.
i.e. there is no need to put a full stop or any other punctuation after an ellipsis. The only exception to this would be if you are closing a quote or dialogue. Your decision about whether to put a full stop after the closing quote mark would depend on whether the quote is part of a larger sentence, which requires a full stop, or not.
Mid-sentence
When an ellipsis appears mid-sentence, use the sequence: word, ellipsis, space, word.

How Long ago was Lord Sri Ramachandra present on this Earth?
Sri Ramachandra appears in every Treta-yuga, but the Ramayana of Valmiki may have been written in the 24th Divya-yuga of the present manvantara (we are now in the 28th Divya-yuga). Valmiki was the Vyasa for the 24th Divya-yuga, and performed the task of compiling scriptures at that time.
Could you give an estimate at all?
Q: Have you heard of the time interval between Rama and Krsna avatars?
A: (Gerald Surya) It is commonly assumed that Rama appeared in the previous Treta yuga. Many sources (Rupa Gosvami, Devi Bhagavata, Brahmanda Purana, etc.) say Rama appeared in the 24th cycle. Krsna appeared in the 28th cycle. The interval = 4 caturyugas + 1 Dvapara yuga + some of Treta yuga comes out to between 19 and 20 million years.
"In the beginning of the Treta-yuga [millennium] this science of the relationship with the Supreme was delivered by Vivasvan to Manu. Manu, being the father of mankind, gave it to his son Maharaja Iksvaku, the king of this earth planet and forefather of the Raghu dynasty in which Lord Ramacandra appeared." Therefore, Bhagavad-gita existed in the human society from the time of Maharaja Iksvaku.
At the present moment we have just passed through five thousand years of the Kali-yuga, which lasts 432,000 years. Before this there was the Dvapara-yuga (800,000 years), and before that there was Treta-yuga (1,200,000 years). Thus, some 2,005,000 years ago, Manu spoke the Bhagavad-gita to his disciple and son Maharaja Iksvaku, the king of this planet earth.
Ikshvaku is one of Ramachandra's forefathers, and he was present roughly two million years ago according to Srila Prabhupada's view.
Saying that Valmiki wrote the Ramayana in the 24th divya-yuga does not mean that Ramachandra did not appear in the present divya-yuga as well.
dvapara-yuga, and there has been many?
Yeah, it's confusing but I'll try to explain clearly.
We are in Kali yuga right now, which is the last yuga in the Maha yuga which consists of Satya, Treta, Dwapar and Kali.
There are 71 Maha yugas in one manvantara.
14 manvantaras in one kalpa.
2 kalpas make the day and night of Brahma.
360 such days make one year in Brahma's life.
And 100 years make His whole life.
And yes all these repetions of yuga's include the same avatars but I think if I'm not mistaken Chaitanya Mahaprabhu made a rare and kind appearance in this kali yuga which is really fortunate for us.
So does this mean half the universe exists without the supervision of Brahma… 'because he's sleeping?
During Brahma's night the universe experiences pralaya and most planets are merged into the universal waters, with the exception of a few of the highest lokas.
During the time of Pralaya when all the planets merge in universal waters, all the souls go back to Godhead and rest there and take rebirth when Brahma wakes up according to their karma. There is no creation during the sleep time of Brahma.
Yeah I'd say it's about that long ago, It's hard to say when in Treta yuga it was written but it was sung by Shri Ram's children at a young age and plus Shri Ram loved for a VERY LONG time on Earth and then when he left, Dwapar yuga commences.

Microsoft just announced that Windows 10 will be out late next month.
July 29 is the big day (at least for PC and tablets), with the OS available both digitally and in stores.
Remember: in a break from the company's previous launches, existing users of Windows 7 (SP1) and 8.1 will be able to upgrade for free.
There's obviously loads of new stuff coming along with the OS, but most of you will just be happy to have the old start menu back by default.
Those wanting to get in line and setup their upgrade before July 29, notifications are now appearing in people's taskbars.

Q: PHP case-insensitive array search functions
Possible Duplicate:
PHP case-insensitive in_array function

Is it possible to do case-insensitive comparison when using the in_array function?
So with a source array like this:
$a= array(
 'one',
 'two',
 'three',
 'four'
);

The following lookups would all return true:
in_array('one', $a);
in_array('ONE', $a);
in_array('fOUr', $a);

What function or set of functions would do the same? I don't think in_array itself can do this. Because it is case sensitive.

A: If you want to apply strtolower on each element of the array, use array_map:
in_array(strtolower('ONE'), array_map('strtolower', $a));

Croatia: The most serious conflict so far - resignations demanded, crisis threatened
If no agreement is reached at the session of the National Security Council for Defense scheduled for November 9, there will be a crisis in the state functioning
Source: Jutarnji list Sunday, October 31, 2021 | 11:55
EPA-EFE/ANTONIO BAT
This was said by the interlocutor from the ruling party, commenting on the conflict that escalated between the President of the State Zoran Milanovi� and the Minister of Defense Mario Bano�i�, i.e. the Government and Andrej Plenkovi�, reports "Jutarnji list".
The fierce conflict has been going on for ten days now, and resignations are currently being demanded. Thus, the Minister of Defense, Mario Bano�i�, demanded the resignation of the Chief of the General Staff, Robert Hranj.
It's beyond his authority, because the minister cannot replace the head of the General Staff. According to the Law on Defense, the Chief of the General Staff is appointed by the Supreme Commander on the proposal of the Government, and his dismissal is also within the competence of the Supreme Commander.
He's looking for a reaction
The President of Croatia, Zoran Milanovi�, on the other hand, is asking for the reaction of the Prime Minister, Andrej Plenkovi� - "to talk to his prot�g� and bring him to his senses".
"Or I should ask for the resignation of the minister and everything will stand still as long as that ignoramus is a minister," said President Milanovi�. It is the epilogue of the conflict that began with Bano�i�'s decision to retire Brigadier Elvis Bur�ul, the commander of the Honorary Protection Unit. Mutual accusations, name-calling continued, harsh words and insults fell - from Pokemon, through violations of the law and authorizations, revenge decisions, ban on speech, to accusations by Andrej Plenkovi� that it was a creeping coup d'etat.
How will this, so far the most serious conflict at the top of the government, unfold?
"This is a conflict that directly affects the functioning of the army. On the one hand, the president is behaving irresponsibly. I think that Milanovic should have invited Banozic for a conversation and given him his proposal. If he had done that, and Banozic did not accept the proposal, the president would have been right. In this way, he gave Minister Bano�i� the opportunity to say everything. I think this is a situation in which Minister Bano�i� should have shown more intelligence and not exposed the Prime Minister. I really don't know what happened to Bano�i� and what the problem is with those two and a half months lacking for Burcul's retirement. He should have acted better in that situation and not involve Plenkovi� in it, who now has to protect his minister," said a ruling interlocutor, well acquainted with the situation.
He says that the key meeting will be on November 9. For that time, a session of the Council for Defense and National Security was convened. The president proposed convening that session, the government proposed three dates, and Milanovic agreed on November 9.
No dismissals
"We will see if an agreement will be reached then. If they do not agree, there will be a crisis in the functioning of the state," says our interlocutor.
And an agreement, it seems, will not be easily reached. Judging by his statements so far, President Milanovi� will obviously stick to his request to annul the decision on the retirement of Elvis Bur�ul, after which things could return to normal. Until then, there will probably be no cooperation with the minister.
On the other hand, Bano�i� stated that he would not withdraw that decision. Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovi� is obviously on the move. A few days ago, when asked by journalists whether he could continue to cooperate with the minister, Milanovi� replied: "He is irrelevant. Plenkovi� is expected to solve that. This is a reflection of the relations in the HDZ, these are messages that are sent through the backs of soldiers and within the HDZ," said President Milanovi�.
What is certain is that there will be no dismissal of Defense Minister Mario Banozic. Prime Minister Plenkovi� has already said that he strengthened his position after this. Retired General Ljubo Cesic Rojs also commented on the conflict yesterday.
"I am sorry that this is happening, everyone should sit down and solve the problem, because what is happening harms the army the most," said Rojs, who especially referred to the situation in which the Chief of the General Staff, Robert Hranj, found himself.
"I know him well, he is an angel from a man. And he found himself in an awkward position because the commander-in-chief is looking for one thing and the minister for another. It is a sin to drag him into those political games. The army is professional and the hierarchy is known," Rojs pointed out.

France supports withdrawal of 2,000 ATMIS troops to make transition possible by June
Africa Featured Somali News World News
/ Reading time: 4 minutes
France has voted in favor of a UN draft resolution in response to a request by the Somali Federal Government.
The UN Secuirity Council has delayed the African Union's gradual withdrawal for an exceptional six-month extension to implement the withdrawal of 2,000 ATMIS troops.
"We count on Somalia, the African Union, and ATMIS to complete this withdrawal by June 30, 2023, with the support of the international community," said Mrs. Nathalie Broadhurst, the Deputy Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations.
The council is now working to achieve the other objectives that were set by Resolution 2628.
The resolution adopted in March endorsed a previous decision it made with the African Union to reconfigure the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) into the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia, underscoring the need to continue countering al-Shabaab and expressed hope that the Government of Somalia will gradually assume greater security responsibilities going forward.
The resolution encompasses the Council's expectations for the Government of Somalia relating to facilitating the electoral process and assuming responsibility for national security.
Other compelling commitments made by the Security Council during passing of the resolution included the need to counter al-Shabaab; the reconfiguration of AMISOM into the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia; the role of the United Nations Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS), as well drawing up for international financial support.
Through the resolution, the Council endorsed the decision it made with the African Union Peace and Security Council to reconfigure AMISOM into the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia and authorized for an initial period of 12 months.
African Union Member States are expected to take all necessary measures to aid the troops in reducing the threat posed by al-Shabaab.
The union with 19000 soldiers in the country have been providing support to enhance capacity-building of the integrated Somali security and police forces.
Since the end of AMISOM in March, soldiers serving in the mission have been conducting a phased handover of security responsibilities to Somali soldiers and support peace and reconciliation efforts in the country.
Mrs. Broadhurst said the mission must begin its restructuring, to strengthen its operational support to the Somali forces and their build-up.
France also want the ATMIS mission show that transition is possible in Somalia, to maintain confidence and to maintain the support of the international community.
The Quartet, which is composed of the UN, the African Union, Somalia and the European Union, adopted objectives to this aim in September.
The UN Security Council meeting will next year March convene a forum assessing opportunity taking stock on the trajectory of ATMIS' withdrawal and the achievement of these objectives.
The European Union has demonstrated it was a reliable partner to Somalia and the African Union, providing nearly 3 billion Euros to AMISOM and then ATMIS over the past 15 years.
France called on other partners of Mogadishu to contribute as well, "particularly to finance the postponement of Phase 1 of the troop withdrawal."
The European Union's support is primarily aimed at building the capacities of the Somali forces and thus supporting the objectives of the Somali transition plan.
Mrs. Nathalie Broadhurst reiterated that the implementation of the mission's withdrawal plan remains essential for strategic decisions on the AU mission and for their follow-up.
ATMIS previously referred to us the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) has continued to register progress in implementing its mandate, guided by the transition plan.
The Somalia Transition Plan is a comprehensive guide developed by the Federal Government of Somalia and its partners to the transfer of security responsibility to Somali National Security Forces ahead of ATMIS's anticipated exit from the country.
Even as they prepare to leave Somalia, AU troops in the country are tasked with helping secure the gains made over the fifteen-years since AMISOM first deployed in Somalia.
With security agencies doubling efforts dedicated to the transition plan, it is envisioned Somali Security Forces will be ready to fully take over security responsibilities of the country from Africa Union Peacekeepers.

The internet is 'where humanity is doing its stuff' according to David White, Head of Technology Enhanced Learning at the University of Arts who presented Learning and Teaching in the Post-digital era at Talis Insight 2015.
If the internet is where humanity now resides, that's as good a reason as any to start developing your digital identity. You don't want to be a digital wallflower. For many, if you can not be found easily in a quick Google search, you simply don't exist. Fine for a Buddhist monk, not so good for an academic trying to disseminate their research to a wider audience.
Dedicate 30 minutes each week to digital tasks and you will soon cultivate a digital presence. Some tasks are more demanding than others; you will need to be realistic about what you can and can't do. For example, blogging will prove a much bigger demand on your time than tweeting.
Create a Piirus profile. Piirus is a platform for academics to collaborate, network and share research papers. Add your CV, share updates and connect with academic colleagues globally. You can link out to all the other websites you are on, find researchers in your field, see when your papers are downloaded and who is following your work. Find out more about Piirus here.
Primp your institution web profile. Universities publish staff profiles by default. Log into your staff editing area and complete your publications and research interests. With the volume of traffic your institution attracts, your institution profile is likely to be one of the first returns in any search.
Take part in a live Twitter chat such as the Learning and Teaching in Higher Education chat #lthechat every Wednesday between 8pm-9pm. Also see #phdchat and @AcademicsSay.
Start a blog. WordPress is a free blogging tool and website content management system. Register at WordPress for your free blog/website and then purchase a domain name and transfer it to your WordPress account. Follow these instructions to map an existing domain for the cheapest option. This means your site will be found at yourname.com rather than yourname.wordpress.com. Try to commit to a regular posting schedule for the best results although you can publish a selection of your best; see Alison Pyke's The Scientific Parent for inspiration.
Create a LinkedIn account. Join LinkedIn and create a profile. You can participate in a form of blogging by using LinkedIn's 'Share an update' function. Note the easy to use resume builder which allows you to create a CV from your LinkedIn profile data.

Dear friends. We are a German / Japanese design company and want to invite you to join our art project which is based on our inspirational trips all over the world. The purpose is to give and share inspiration, thoughts and good will from all over the world. No money involved.
We already have people from over 50 taking part. And it would be great to have you on board as well.
Write us who you are, where you are and what makes your home town and country special for you.
We will send you a cool present for free. It is something we designed. You'll love it, promise!
After you receive it – please send us a picture of what you did with our present.
All pictures will be shown in an online and an offline exhibition in Berlin.
Don't forget to give us your postal address. We'll send you a real non-digital present by old-fashioned airmail.
Those who are interested in coatings and coating producers, will find us at the BASF event "Let's talk paint", from the 6th until the 7th of November. Under the title: Context Shift: Why paint brands will have to sell feelings instead of coatings if they want to be successful in the future, the founders of kakoii, Thekla Heineke and Stefan Mannes, will present marketing trends and solutions for the international coatings industry.
What do beautiful furnishings and good food have in common? Outstanding design! Organic and eco-friendly food and drink products no longer feature only the "sunflower-and-green-lawn" look. Instead, they exude confidence in their streamlined, cool shapes and graphically-sophisticated packaging designs.
Stilwerk Berlin celebrates this change with an exhibition that will introduce you to 50 carefully selected food and drink products in sophisticated packaging design. These range from various types of chocolate, healthy juices, organic spirits, roasted noodles, and caviar from the Alps to mixes for baked breads and sensible sweets.
kakoii is part of this Exhibition with two exhibits that demonstrate what good packaging design should look like today. We appreciate the recognition we have received for our design of Das Korn (The grain – premium liquor), and are pleased that our design for Dr. Go is also included in the exhibition.
Both products are definitely worth seeing and drinking.
You are cordially invited to the opening of the exhibition on August 7, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Click here for more information on our expertise in packaging design.
Packaging Summit: The most important event of the year for interested packaging designers takes place October 18 – 19: the 3rd German Packaging Summit. This year, kakoii is participating.
Under the heading: Keep it political, please kakoii Creative Director, Thekla Heineke, will present Non-linear Strategies in Brand Management through: Customized evolving brand design. In other words: How to hit the bull's eye even though there is no longer a center.
Here you will find more information on our expertise in packaging design.

The first record of Calomys hummelincki (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae) from the Lavrados of northern Brazil
Marcus Vinicius Brandão, Yolanda Oliveira Salgueiro, Jorge Salazar-Bravo
The South American genus Calomys exhibits a disjunct distribution with most species inhabiting grasslands, savannas, and forest edges from ca. latitude 8° S in the highlands of Peru and the Caatinga of Brazil to ca. latitude 16° S in central Bolivia, and from there south into Argentine Patagonia. Only a single species (Calomys hummelincki) occurs in open habitats in northern South America. We report the first known specimen of Calomys hummelincki for Brazil. The specimen is deposited in the mammal collection of Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo. It is a young adult female with two embryos collected on 13 March 1989 by C. M. Carvalho at Fazenda Salvamento, Roraima state, during a herpetofaunal survey. The specimen shares qualitative and quantitative characters with specimens from Venezuela and Curaçao, but also differs substantially in others. The record presented herein extends the known range of the species about 630 km southeastward from the nearest previous record (in Venezuela, Estado Bolívar, Sipao). This new record was obtained in a locality representative of the savannas of the Rio Branco - Rupununi region that supports a poorly known, but distinctive mammalian fauna. This entire eco-region represents a piece of the biogeographic puzzle resulting from the climate-dependent vegetation shifts that dominated the Quaternary of South America. This new record highlights the need to investigate and protect the biodiversity of the Rio Branco-Rupununi savannas.

Q: Laravel 5.4 - Custom message for a dropdown list I can create a validation custom message for a  text field but not for a .
Here is HTML for the "unit" field:
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="unit" name="unit">

and here for the "visitor_id" field:
<select id="visitor_id" name="visitor_id" class="form-control">
    @foreach($visitors as $visitor)
        <option value="{{$visitor->id}}">
            {{ $visitor->name }}
        </option>
    @endforeach
</select>

Controller:
$rules = [
   'unit'=> 'required|min:2|max:2',
   'visitor_id'=> 'required|not_in:14'
]
 $customMessages = [
    'unit.required' => 'Unit cannot be blank and must have 2 char max',
    'visitor_id.required' => 'Please choose from the list...'
    ];
$this->validate($request, $rules, $customMessages);

If I leave the unit field empty or don't follow the max:2 rule, the message will be what it should be: 'Unit cannot be blank..."
But if I leave the dropdown named visitor_id with the value of 14, the error message will be the default one "The selected visitor id is invalid." and not the one I need; "Please choose from the list..."
The attached image shows the result.
I researched for more than one hour and couldn't find a solution, unfortunately.

A: Of course it will be the default message because you changed only for required and not for not_in so in order to make it work please add the following line under:
$rules = [
   'unit'=> 'required|min:2|max:2',
   'visitor_id'=> 'required|not_in:14'
]

 $customMessages = [
    'unit.required' => 'Unit cannot be blank and must have 2 char max',
    'visitor_id.required' => 'Please choose from the list...'
    'visitor_id.not_in' => 'Please choose from the list...'
    ];

$this->validate($request, $rules, $customMessages);

A: I need to show the error message below the select field...My code is as follows.
 <div class="col-md-3">
  <select class="custom-select form-control" id="designation_id" value="{{old('designation_id')}}" name="designation_id">
     <option value="" class="disabled">-- Select Designation --</option>
         @foreach ($designations as $designation)
            <option value="{{ $designation->id }}"
                 @if(old('designation_id')== $designation->id) selected="selected"
                 @endif> {{ $designation->name }}
            </option>
         @endforeach
  </select>
</div>


What did you do to celebrate Earth Day Weekend?
We did spring cleaning in our greenhouse (which is a huge enclosed covered patio with an "indoor" tree growing inside). Things were SO overgrown, so it was a ton of work. But it really does look so much better! Still a lot to do, though.
Time to wake up the gnomes!
I was inspired by Anne's craft idea post, so we rode our bikes to the craft store to get some pony beads so we could make sun catchers. Lily was SO enthused when I opened the window the next morning and showed her that I had hung the sun catcher! She swung it like a pendulum, and was just so pleased! Definitely a hit!
And we participated in the local Great Cloth Diaper Change event, which was pretty fun! I had to bribe Lily with fruit snacks (her kryptonite) to pose for the photographer who was volunteering at the event.
My little lady in her adorable Sauconys.
Aside from one major meltdown after a little friend's 2nd birthday party, we had a truly lovely weekend.
So I would like to leave you all with a few ideas to consider for making your lifestyle a little more green.
It really is easy to make a few small changes in the way we do things to help love our Earth.
Purchase reusable grocery bags - or make your own!
Use reusable lunch bags - I use Planet Wise brand.
Use cloth diapers - I recommend Thirsties or Charlie Banana.
Use cloth menstrual pads - read more about what I think of these by clicking here.
Switch to cloth napkins - I have made a few sets for myself and have rescued sets from thrift! They are awesome!
Grow your own fruits and veggies, or shop at local farmer's markets. This reduces carbon waste in transporting food from far away. Eat organic when possible - pesticides are awful for our environment and our bodies.
Upcycle clothing, disposable containers, and more into reusable goods and craft projects!
Reuse! Thrifting not only helps to reuse things that have been cast aside by someone else, but it saves you money too!
Natural cleaning products - use vinegar and baking soda to clean your house and wool dryer balls in your dryer. Also, dry laundry on a clothes line in good weather.
Hopefully you will feel inspired to make greener choices based on some of those suggestions. I have found that being "green" really is easier than I expected!


You may know me, but I know you. When you were younger you were different from the others around you. You were observant. You'd silently take in a situation and notice things about the people in your presence. Your intuition is strong. You are very caring and honest, sometimes even too much so, but you have great difficulty in letting anybody get to know you. When you finally do let somebody in, you keep him or her close to you for a long time. In fact, there's someone close to you that you're really worried about right now. But the best thing to do is to keep being a positive force in that person's life. Sometimes you're over analytic, but it's better to try to live spontaneously. You have a scar on your left knee. Your eyes are very magical, very mystical, very psychic. So how do you see your future?
So with that creepy email are you just betting on the fact that the gal in question has a scar on her knee? I mean it is probably a good chance so it has to work at least 10% of the time. I bet you can knock out those emails pretty quickly making that a good enough turn around to make you think that odd way of connecting works. Luckily I am "different than the others around me" and just see it for what it is … freaky. Stop it before someone "reports a concern" (aka you) to match.com.


RFC #114 but we would like to see it implemented where possible.
OS/360 and find them quite useful.
my access control would be useful.
6. The absence of status requests and responses is apparent.
the job might be prolonged.
actually start execution until parameters are received.
experiments with the RFC #114 protocol. What were the pitfalls, etc.?

I have the honor to refer to agreements between the Governments of the United States and of Canada effected by exchanges of notes dated August 1, 19511; June 15, 19552; June 12, 19613; June 25, 19704; and June 30, 19715, regarding the cost and operation of the continental radar defense system, and to recent discussions which have taken place between representatives of the Government of Canada and of the Government of the United States concerning new financial arrangements to govern the operation and maintenance of the Pinetree radar stations in Canada that comprise this system.
At the present time there are twenty-one Pinetree radar stations in operation. Eight of these stations have been manned and financed by the Government of Canada since their establishment pursuant to the agreement effected by the exchange of notes of August 1, 1951. Under the terms of the agreement effected by the exchange of notes of June 12, 1961, the Government of Canada has also manned and financed twelve stations that were formerly the responsibility of the Government of the United States, and, in accordance with the exchange of notes of June 25, 1970, agreed to continue to man and finance them through July 31, 1971. Prior to July 1, 1971, the remaining Pinetree station, located at Melville, Labrador, was manned and financed by the Government of the United States. Pursuant to an agreement between our two Governments effected by an exchange of notes dated June 30, 1971, the Government of Canada, on July 1, 1971, assumed responsibility for the manning of the Melville station and the military personnel costs associated therewith, and the Government of the United States retained responsibility for the operation and maintenance costs of the station.
I now propose, on behalf of the Government of the United States, that the Government of Canada agree to continue to be responsible for the manning and the military personnel costs associated therewith of the twenty-one Pinetree radar stations set out in the enclosed Annex to this note. In consideration of the above undertaking by the Government of Canada, the Government of the United States, effective August 1, 1971, and in accordance with the terms [Page 4] and conditions set forth in the Annex hereto, will reimburse the Government of Canada for the other operation and maintenance costs of the twenty-one Pinetree radar stations.
If the foregoing is acceptable to your Government, I have the honor to further propose that this note, and the terms and conditions set forth in the Annex, and your reply to that effect shall constitute an agreement regarding this matter between our two Governements effective from August 1, 1971, and that this agreement shall supersede the agreements effected by the exchanges of notes dated June 12, 1961, and June 25, 1970, and to the extent inconsistent therewith, the provisions of the agreements effected by the exchanges of notes dated August 1, 1951, and June 15, 1955.
Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
(a) The Government of Canada shall be responsible for the manning of the Pinetree radar stations.
(b) Increases in the civilian manning level existing at the date of this agreement shall be subject to the prior concurrence of both the United States Air Force and the Canadian Forces.
(a) The Government of Canada shall be responsible for all military personnel costs, including messing and housing costs, incurred in the operation and maintenance of the Pinetree radar stations.
(b) The Government of the United States, commencing on August 1, 197 1, will reimburse the Government of Canada for the other costs of operating and maintaining the Pinetree radar stations. These [Page 8] costs include civilian personnel costs, and on-base communications costs.
(c) The obligation of the Government of the United States under paragraph 3 (b) above will not include costs associated with leased communications lines or equipment. The sharing of such costs will continue to be determined under the terms of existing or future agreements specifically applicable to such communications facilities.
(d) The cost-sharing arrangements set forth in this agreement shall not apply to the financing of any capital improvements, such as new construction or installation of new equipment. The financing of such improvements, as well as any additional costs of operation and maintenance arising as a result of such improvements, shall be as agreed between the two Governments.
The United States Air Force or its designated agent will consult with the appropriate agencies of the Canadian Forces regarding the implementation of this agreement. Supplementary arrangements or administrative agreements between these agencies of the two Governments will be made from time to time for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this agreement. These arrangements or agreements will include procedures for the compilation, verification, and settlement of accounts.
Re-negotiation of this agreement may be requested by either Government in the event that the relative costs to either Government are significantly altered in the future.
I have the honour to refer to your Note No. 133 and Annex dated August 16, 1971, referring to agreements between the Governments of Canada and of the United States of America effected by exchanges of notes dated August 1, 1951; June 15, 1955; June 12, 1961; June 25, 1970; and June 30, 1971, regarding the cost and operation of the continental radar defence system and to the recent discussions which have taken place between the representatives of the Government of Canada and of the Government of the United States concerning new financial arrangements to govern the operation and maintenance of the Pinetree radar stations in Canada that comprise this system.
The proposals contained in your Note and Annex are acceptable to the Government of Canada and it is agreed that your Note and this reply, which is authentic in English and in French, shall constitute an agreement between our two Governments on these matters effective from August 1, 1971, and that this agreement shall supersede the agreements effected by the exchanges of notes dated June 12, 1961, and June 25, 1970, and to the extent inconsistent therewith, the provisions of the agreements effected by the exchanges of notes dated August 1, 195 1, and June 15, 1955.
Accept, Sir, the assurance of my high consideration.
