Discover how you can get the most out of your visit to the Ballarat Botanical Gardens.
Planting ideas for growing minds.
The Guiding Friends share their knowledge of these heritage gardens and pride themselves on their friendly and informative tours.
Friends of Ballarat Botanical Gardens is a voluntary organisation which was founded in 1982 and became an incorporated body in 1993. It serves as a link between the Ballarat City Council and the wider community. Much support has been provided for improvements in the gardens as well as assisting with the conservation of cherished elements such as the collection of marble statues dating from 1880s. The botanical and horticultural significance of the gardens, as well as historical, cultural and recreational aspects, are promoted in the local community and beyond. Community education and programs for schools have been developed to help everyone enjoy their visits to the gardens.
Covering 40 ha (originally 99 acres), the land was first reserved for a public garden in 1857. By the 1880s a magnificent 'gardenesque' style central garden had become well established. It is still one of Australia's most attractive cool climate gardens, where each season is distinctly marked by the mature trees. The north gardens includes a wetlands reserve and in the south gardens there is the Ex-POW Memorial Garden.


I'd been unhappy with my smile for quite a while. The top teeth on one side of my mouth were larger than the other side. In addition I had a patch of white on one tooth that I felt stood out from the others and was quite noticeable.
I always used Editor on Instagram and Facebook to adjust my smile on the photo before putting it up.
I had been to other dentists who had tried and failed to remove the patch- one dentist actually suggested that I filed down the bigger tooth which I was really uneasy about doing.
Eventually my Mum found Dental Solutions after searching on the internet and we came to see Gavin. We preferred Gavin's suggestion of building up the smaller teeth with white fillings and covering the white patch with a veneer.
The treatment itself took just 45 minutes from start to finish – the Reception team moved my appointment around at short notice so I could come in just before my holiday which I really appreciated.
I wasn't scared at all and the treatment itself was painless, comfortable and actually quite calming throughout.
When I saw my new smile I was overwhelmed – it was the perfect smile that I always wanted. Plus I no longer need to use an editor on my smile! Thanks so much to all the team for their great service and expertise – I really love my new smile.


Friday, 14 December 2007: Travelport GDS, one of the world's largest global distribution system (GDS) providers, yesterday announced that China Southern Airlines has become the 200th airline to implement e-ticketing via its Galileo GDS.
Friday, 14 December 2007: Travelport GDS, one of the world's largest global distribution system (GDS) providers, yesterday announced that China Southern Airlines has become the 200th airline to implement e-ticketing via its Galileo GDS. With this development, Galileo has implemented e-ticketing on almost 60 carriers this year alone.
China Southern Airlines operates domestic, regional and international flights and is Asia's largest airline in terms of fleet and the largest in China in terms of number of passengers carried. The signing of China Southern Airlines to implement e-ticketing on Galileo demonstrates the travel industry's continuing and systematic move to achieving IATA's goal for all airlines to offer e-tickets by the end of May 2008.
Travelport GDS, encompassing both Galileo GDS and Worldspan GDS, issues over 85% of all tickets via e-ticketing resulting in huge time and financial savings for travel agents and carriers alike. As a direct result of this, the combined company is saving a minimum of 27 acres of forest per month.


RANGOON — Hiding cameras in the bottom of a backpack, one photographer sneaked past security checkpoints and trekked mountains to bear witness to an anarchic mining town in northern Burma. In the same region, a different shutterbug spent nearly three years at refugee camps and frontlines, documenting the lives of ethnic rebels waging war against the central government. Another slipped into a conflict-torn area where people armed with every imaginable form of primitive weaponry walked the streets, bringing back images of communal strife in western Burma.
The results: A collection that tells visual tale of some of the problems afflicting Burma today—civil war, lawlessness and sectarian violence.
In an exhibition titled "Six: New Photography from Myanmar," a half-dozen stories documented by some of the best young photographers in Burma are now on display, pushing boundaries as the country undergoes wide-ranging reforms that have included dramatic changes to its media landscape.
For visitors, the photo exhibition provides an intriguing window into an emerging body of documentary photography that, in the past, they might only have seen in pictorial books by foreign photojournalists.
"I hope people will come in and see some work that they haven't seen before," said Myanmar Deitta's Matt Grace, who organized the photo show called "Six," a namesake tribute to its contributors: five photographers and one shutter-happy group.
Among the collection are portraits of the lives of men in a jade mining town in northern Burma, an area off-limits to foreigners, and ethnic rebel frontlines in the same region that are almost inaccessible to outsiders. Other exhibition photos' subject matter ranges from sectarian violence between the Arakanese and Muslim Rohingya in western Burma to villagers troubled by wild elephants to urban street scenes.
Hkun Li, an ethnic Kachin freelance photographer and one of the show's contributors, spent three years visiting Kachin Independence Army (KIA) frontlines and five refugee camps in northern Burma.
"I wiped away my tears secretly several times while taking those pictures," he said, "especially when taking one of two amputated soldiers cutting each other's hair.
"They are the ones who suffered from the civil war. I did it because I want people to know the consequences of the civil war," he added.
Grace, the director of operations for Myanmar Deitta, an organization promoting documentary photography and filmmaking in Burma, said more than six dozen pictures are on display. They are the product of photographers who are pushing boundaries, Grace said, while the Burmese media is still in a period of transition—a time when nobody really knows what is acceptable.
"It's great that there are photographers pushing these things and photographing those stories and bringing back great work on things that not long ago would have been impossible to work on," he explained.
"It's great that there are young Myanmar photographers, not always Western photojournalists, coming in to cover this stuff," he added.
Minzayar, a Burmese photojournalist working for the international news wire Reuters, is another contributor to the "Six" photo exhibition. His pictures focus on the day-to-day lives of laborers in Hpakant, a jade mining town in northern Burma where arbitrary killings are common, heroin "shooting galleries" are mushrooming and drug-fueled jade hand-pickers are routinely buried alive while scavenging for the precious stones.
"I felt I was traveling around in an anarchic region," the 25-year-old photographer recalled.
"Those hand-pickers' lives are very hard. I want to shed a light on their lives and what is happening there," he explained.
Another photojournalist showcasing his first-hand experience of communal violence is Kaung Htet of the Myanmar Times.
Last year he ventured out to Kyauktaw in western Burma, where sectarian strife between the Arakanese and Rohingya raged on. Kaung Htet documented scenes of chaos, including photos shot at a local hospital inundated by bloodied victims of the violence.
"It really looked like a hospital in a war zone. Some wounded people died right in front of my eyes," said the weekly newspaper's chief photographer, who also spent time photographing the situation in camps for displaced Rohingya.
The 30-year-old said he was just doing his job to report what was happening in the restive region while sticking to the truth as best as he could.
"I just put a spotlight on the current issue," he said.

by Jill Shayna Brody - Boynton Beach, FL
A demographic survey commissioned by the Jewish Federation recently established Boynton Beach as the fastest growing Jewish community in the country, and the most densely populated Jewish area outside of Israel. In 1987, there were 9,300 Jews in Boynton Beach. The survey taken in 2005 reported a whopping 58,000, and most recently demographer Dr. Ira Sheskin estimated the Jewish population in the Greater Boynton area at 86,000.
(Lubavitch.com/LNS) If the 400 guests at Sunday evening's dinner celebrating the Bar Mitzvah year of Chabad of Boynton Beach were any indication, this community seems to be growing younger as it grows in number.
Many credit the dynamic activities of Chabad's Rabbi Sholom and Dini Ciment with contributing to a marked change in the demographic profile of this area once considered a retirement community in the suburbs of southern Florida.
Thirteen years ago, the Jewish population was scattered, numbering only 15,000. There was barely a Jewish infrastructure, says Rabbi Ciment, recalling that during the family's first week here he was "advised to go home." There seemed to be no interest in his vision.
But Ciment followed his convictions, and took his cue from the Rebbe's blessings.
Today, the community he built quite literally from the ground up, has outgrown its $4 million, 15,000 square foot facility, prompting Chabad of Boynton Beach to acquire the adjacent 2.5 acres of property on El Clair Ranch Road.
At Sunday night's dinner, Rabbi Ciment announced the launching of a $10 million expansion on the adjacent property.
The purchase came on the heels of the sellout of two estate home communities, Wyndsong Estates and Wyndsong Isles, both created with the idea of having luxurious family homes, with "kosher" kitchens, five to six bedrooms, all within walking distance of the Chabad campus. A Total of 101 homes were sold as Chabad teamed up with Paramount Residential to make the dream of many young families a reality.
In 1996, two years after the Ciments arrived, they moved Chabad's services from their two-bedroom apartment into a store-front shul.
Shmuley Finn, one of the founding members of the congregation still affectionately refers to it as the "Shul by the dumpster."
With the purchase of three acres of land in 1999, Chabad moved the congregation of 50 families into the shack that stood on the property. The small volunteer corps of dedicated members turned the shack into a shtible. Two years later Ciment was ready to build the real thing.
Just as the Ciments were getting serious about their plans, Alan and Marlene Zavodnick moved to Boynton Beach. During introductions on Alan's first Shabbat in the shul, Rabbi Ciment quickly gathered that Alan's company, Alko GC of New Jersey, was going to build the Shul.
The shtible had to make way for something much bigger, so Alan's first directive was to raze it to the ground. Beginning in 2001 services took place in two modular trailers that were parked on the far end of the property.
The congregants reminisce about trekking through the mud on a rainy Shabbos morning to hear the young Rabbi Ciment. Two years later the Shul's ark would rest on the pinpoint location of the shtible.
Today, Chabad Lubavitch of Greater Boynton Beach enjoys a membership of 500 families and is nestled on three acres surrounded by tens of thousands of homes. The campus houses an opulent sanctuary, preschool, hebrew school, luxurious mikvah, and a comprehensive range of adult education classes free to anyone. It has become one of the most prestigious synagogues and Jewish centers in Palm Beach County.
"The beauty of our community is the kaleidoscope of all types of Jews. On a Shabbos morning our sanctuary is bursting at its seams as it welcomes the retired, the children, the baby boomers, men, women, and children of all ages and backgrounds."
But Rabbi Ciment isn't sitting back just yet. Along with the expansion project, he announced plans to open three new satellite Chabad centers to the North, West, and East of its hub in Greater Boynton Beach.

Former US president and political heavyweight Jimmy Carter has weighed in on the North Korea crisis and is even willing to travel to the capital Pyongyang.
DPRK head Kim Jong Un has promoted his younger sister Kim Yo Jong to a position of political authority within the country's ruling party.
Pyongyang has accused Washington of using its ongoing War on Terror to manipulate governments and other entities around the world.

It seems the best solution is not updated with the score value, but we defined the Solution class as your example (queens example) with getter and setter score.
Anyone have a suggestion about the "new best score" is null?
Thanks!

A: Wild guess, but does the cloneSolution of your solution clone the score and all other problem facts robustly?
I have experienced a few silent errors there.

A: That line is impossible (in theory):
2012-04-30 ...     Step index (0), ..., new best score (null), ...

Debug and figure out what is producing a null Score. It's definitely a bug (in planner or in your code).
I haven't seen this before. Are you using a custom score definition?

A: I got same error as above and i am able to solve it, by simply set score in clone of my Solution class just like----->
public EmployeeRoster cloneSolution() {
    EmployeeRoster employeeRoster=new EmployeeRoster();
    employeeRoster.id=id;
    employeeRoster.shiftList=shiftList;
    employeeRoster.employeeList=employeeList;

So I found myself at the ice rink again the other day. But not for a hockey game; it was for practice. But it wasn't the regular weekly practice. The Apple of my Eye usually takes the boy to those. No, this was a special, one-on-one skating session that my husband set up for our son.
Our baseball-playing son started playing hockey this past summer, and while he's pretty good, he's new at it, so there's a lot he has to learn. Tricks and tips and techniques and such. So my sweetie, who's been playing hockey for about 30 years, talked to a friend who agreed to sort of tutor our son. Give him a leg up, if you will. So that's why I sat in the not-very-accurately-named warm room at the rink, alternately reading and watching my boy going through a few drills.
But it was a bit of a tricky situation. There was a public skating session going on, so a lot of the time they had to kind of stick to one corner of the rink, and occasionally the center, where they could be out of the way of the rest of the skaters. Other times they needed a bigger area, so they had to just mix in with everyone else, doing the best they could to maneuver around and between them.
But then, that's the like of a Christian, isn't it? You read the Bible, you pray, you ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and then you try to practice what you've been learning. And all around you are people going every which-a-way, spiritually speaking. Some, of course, don't care a whit about living in obedience to God. But even those that are walking with the Spirit are often walking at a different pace than you are. Or God's got them focusing on some aspect of their character that's not your battle right now. Either way, it can be hard to stay focused.

There are a few different models of how to monetize video games. There are the games you pay full price at retail, the kind you pay full price before you download, and there are free to play games, (sometimes called free to start), where the game is a free download, but some content can be paid for to make for a smoother gaming experience. Today, I will be looking at the free to play model, explore what is different in these games, and give my opinion on whether I think they are good or bad. Keep in mind that these are my own opinion, and not anyone else's. It may not match your own, and that is okay, I'd like to hear why you think otherwise in the comments.
First, let me mention that I own very few free to play games, so my experience with them is limited. I have not seen everything and every way they try to make money, nor have I seen the full range of quality that comes with these games. Even so, I have noticed some trends that make them different from games that you pay for up-front before you own them.
So, free to play games frequently do something to encourage players to pay for more content. In some cases, you can only play a few times per day (or every few hours, and so forth). You can play more often by using an in-game form of currency (called something different in each game). Free to play games give you a limited supply of this currency, sometimes giving you a set amount each day, and/or occasionally giving more for playing. In almost all of these games, you can pay real money for in game goods, or for more of this rare currency to play even more often, or make the game easier. Often, this currency allows you to purchase handy rewards in the game as well.
Some free to play games slow down progress considerably if you do not pay at all. Others make it possible to play the whole game without any payment, but it takes a while. Some free to play games make some content completely unavailable to non paying players. As a result some players pay nothing, while others can spend way more than other games, especially if they are hooked and want everything the game has to offer right now.
Free to play games are tricky, as some encourage frequent use of the currency that you can pay real money for. When I tried to play Plants vs. Zombies 2, I found that there were a lot of things to pay for, and that even early levels were unusually difficult with what you were given for free. I didn't get far in this game at all, and had since quit playing the game for a while.
A lot of what makes any free to play game fun depends a lot on the core system of play, and how much the game forces you to pay more to complete the game. If much of the game requires frequent payment to win or progress, none of the non-paying players won't enjoy the game much. If the game is fun in short bursts, it might not matter that you aren't paying for more progress right away. It is all a matter of whether it is fun with or without payment.
This allows relatively unknown game developers to get noticed, especially on smart phones or computers. This doesn't necessarily help the player.
Good for players that want to limit their play time. Perhaps this can limit game addiction?
Handy if you are on a budget and can limit your in-app purchases.
It is possible to pay way too much, especially if the game has frequent pay walls.
Some games you pay the full price for have similar purchasing options, and similar design decisions in response to some of the more popular free to play games, limiting the fun of a game you already paid for.
Some of these games aren't fun due to limited play times.
That they remain most common on smart devices.
That full priced games don't borrow the worst ideas from free to play games, particularly with DLC.
That pay walls aren't too common in the best free to play games.
If you don't like this type of game, don't even download them!
If you are playing one you like, try not to pay more than you think it is worth.
Consider what you are paying for if you do pay anything.
If you are on a budget, see how far you can play for free.
I dislike the way most of these games play.
I find it weird to hold a game in my hands, and not play to my heart's content.
I have yet to pay for any of the free to play games I do own.
Paying more frequently for more play time should be limited outside of arcade machines.
Some of these games are massive time and/or money sinks.
So those are my thoughts on free to play games. I ultimately don't like them, but I want to see if you, the reader, feel differently. What free to play games do you like? Why are they better than others? Should I cover more of these games? Of note, I am covering some of them as a game journalist to inform others about them. Let me know all about your experiences in the comments below! Maybe you can change my mind!

Our overall objective is to drive improvements in the management of wild capture and farmed seafood production to facilitate sustainability of our marine resources, the protection of biodiversity and ultimately food security.
With the assistance of regional expertise (led by Fish Matter), in 2013, ADMCF undertook a review of where philanthropic investment is most needed regarding the challenges facing seafood supply and marine conservation in Asia. This involved the compilation of six documents comprising a roadmap, a detailed regional overview and four issue-specific companion papers, which illustrate some of the key challenges in the region.
Paper No.1: Trawl Fisheries in Asia
Paper No.2: Small Pelagic Fisheries in Asia
Paper No.3: Grouper Mariculture for Live Reef Food-fish Trade
Paper No.4: The Human Cost of the Asian Seafood Industry
Asian Fisheries – Roadmap to Philanthropic Investment
Asian Fisheries – From Development to Protection & Management – An Overview
Based on these documents, the research behind them and an experts' regional workshop to review and synthesise the findings, our strategy is to work both regionally and locally to: help rethink fisheries management; generate awareness among the general public that Asia's oceans are vastly depleted; and build knowledge around sustainable seafood in order to support better consumption and help stimulate behavioural change. This necessarily involves research, awareness raising, advocacy and engagement, capacity building and the creation of incentives.
Locally, our focus is facilitating both the supply and demand of sustainable seafood in Hong Kong. That involves discouraging the demand for unsustainable products as well as supporting research and advocacy efforts towards better management and regulation of the seafood and wildlife trade. While our initial focus was the unsustainable shark fin trade through Hong Kong, over the years this has expanded to include both sustainable seafood more generally and the wildlife trade.
Regionally, our focus is how to tackle the challenge of managing a shared marine resource that is both an important source of seafood for countries in Asia as well seafood exports. We aim to engage regionally with stakeholders while supporting efforts to develop sustainable fisheries.
The level of investment in fisheries management by
governments, the private sector and philanthropic
donors is lagging behind what is required to trigger
substantial reform. In part, this is due to capacity issues
and in some cases represents lack of political will as well
as lack of awareness.
Our oceans cover 71% of the earth's surface and contain over 90% of the world's living biomass. As a source of protein for billions of people worldwide, the oceans are critical to human survival. This dependence, however, goes beyond being just a primary food source. Half of the oxygen we breathe comes from the ocean and it is estimated that the world's oceans also absorb about one-third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, making them the largest natural reservoir for excess emissions. Our oceans are thus of fundamental importance in the battle against climate change. This global natural resource and the extraordinary life supported is, however, increasingly threatened by pollution, overexploitation and our changing climate.
As seafood demand rises and industrialised fishing gains pace, scientists have painted a gloomy picture of the overexploitation of global fish stocks, should we continue business as usual. Many species of importance to the marine ecosystem are now threatened with extinction. As regards climate change, it is only recently that acidification from absorbing vast quantities of CO2 has been recognised as a global problem, threatening marine life and our coral reefs. As the oceans become saturated it is likely that the ocean's ability to absorb and regulate CO2 will be compromised, further exacerbating climate change.
Overall, there is little doubt that the future health of fish stocks has been traded for short-term gains. There is widespread consensus that Asia's fisheries need to move rapidly to protection, management and, in some cases, restoration.
There is thus an urgent need to integrate existing information and new knowledge from the social and natural sciences into understanding how to tackle the challenges, which are critical to food security regionally.

Driving Impact
In 2006 ADMCF began its work to reduce consumption of shark fin, including helping WWF Hong Kong launch a corporate pledge. Three years later, we funded research to improve understanding of the dynamics of the shark fin trade and the attitudes and behavior of consumers, given Hong Kong's role as the world's leading trade hub for shark fins. The findings of this research provided the basis for targeted campaigns that aimed to reduce consumption in Hong Kong – the world's foremost trade hub dealing in shark fins. Working with BLOOM Association and Hong Kong Shark Foundation and in collaboration with others such as WildAid and WWF, a notable shift in Hong Kong's shark fin trade and market has been realised: Fin imports have fallen by 20% starting in 2012. Additionally, about two thirds of leading four and five star hotels have now banned shark fin from banquet menus, the government has recommended that it not be served at official functions and 44 of the world's airlines and 16 shipping lines say they will no longer carry it.
Understanding the shark fin trade and consumer dynamics informed further work in marine conservation and expanded the Foundation's focus to broader challenges such as the pervasive lack of awareness and availability of sustainable seafood in Hong Kong, an unsustainable regional trade in Live Reef Food Fishes centred through Hong Kong and lack of fisheries management in the region. In 2015, predictive modeling supported by ADMCF and undertaken by the University of British Columbia (UBC), for the first time indicated what fish biomass and values may look like under different scenarios in the region and what this means for Hong Kong's seafood consumers as well the potential socio economic implications. The report was widely reviewed and has informed our sustainable seafood programme in Hong Kong as well as stimulated dialogue around the challenges of addressing a shared fisheries resource in the South China Sea. Regionally, ADMCF has also applied this knowledge to working in Vietnam to support efforts to enhance institutional capacity, practices and policy development of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management.
Building on UBC's research, we have established the Choose Right Today website in Hong Kong as a platform to engage, and educate consumers and to host campaigns encouraging sustainable consumption. Consumer campaigns are part of an overall strategy that seeks to engage the seafood industry and government as we endeavor to create positive change, that we hope will lead to healthier oceans.

Drink without Waste 免「廢」暢飲 Reducing Single-use Plastic in Hong Kong
The Drink Without Waste positioning paper was launched on December 6th 2018 outlining strategies and actions to address the increasing mountain of waste from sealed single use beverage containers in Hong Kong. The Group also pledges to work towards 70%-90% recovery rates for PET containers and liquid cartons in Hong Kong and with all parties – government, producers, retailers, recyclers and consumers – working closely together, this increase could be achieved by 2025.
CRT's Sustainable Seafood Campaign with Foodie
CRT has engaged Foodie on a new campaign publishing 8 articles, organising 3 events and producing 3 videos on sustainable seafood (why, what, how to find) to educate the public and encourage the industry to keep promoting these products.
Shark fin will be gone from Maxim's menus by 2020
As a result of HKSF, WildAid and other wildlife NGO's campaign work, Hong Kong's largest restaurant group Maxim's announced that it would stop serving shark fin at all of its outlets from 01 January 2020.
Beyond CITES
The report compares and analyses prevailing laws and regulations in Hong Kong with international best practices and suggests practicable legislative changes that may be adopted and implemented by the HK with the primary objective of preserving shark species and to prevent dwindling numbers.
HK SHARK FIN IMPORTS HALVED SINCE 2007
NGO and ADMCF action have built public, corporate and government understanding about the biodiversity consequences of shark fin consumption, incl. campaigns persuading logistics companies to ban shark fin and educating companies and hotels not to serve this at banquets. HK campaigns have been supported by tighter international regulations and the listing of 12 shark species on Appendix II of CITES.
GOING, GOING GONE: THE TRADE IN LIVE REEF FOOD FISH
ADMCF, Swire Institute of Marine Sciences at the University of HK and the WWF Coral Triangle Program jointly published the report, Going, Going Gone: The Trade in Live Reef Food Fish, which says popular wild-caught reef fish species could be gone from diners' tables within our lifetime if we do not act now to stem this burgeoning and often illegal trade.
44 Airlines ban or restrict the carriage of shark fin
More than 44 airlines have committed not to carry shark fin including Air China, China Eastern, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Virgin, Lufthansa, Air France and Qantas.
LIVE REEF FOOD FISH WET MARKET SURVEY
BLOOM Association published the results of a wet market survey that showed 17 species readily available in Hong Kong wet markets are threatened or near threatened.
VIETNAM GOVERNMENT EMPOWERS FISHERMAN IN LANDMARK PASSAGE OF AMENDED FISHERIES LAW
Vietnam's revised fisheries law for the first time legislates for 'co-management', in an attempt to reduce over-fishing and improve the resilience of Vietnam's small-scale fisheries.
SHARK FIN COMPOSITION AT HK'S RETAIL MARKET STUDY
Using DNA analysis, BLOOM Association Hong Kong collaborated with a team of scientists locally and from the U.S. to publish a study that looks into the species composition of shark fins sold in the Hong Kong retail market. The study revealed that a third of shark fin products on retailed in Hong Kong are from threatened species.
HK WINE AND DINE FESTIVAL
In October 2017, the HK Tourism Board lifted its proposed ban on drinking glasses at the Wine and Dine Festival, preventing some 80,000 plastic cups from being used. This followed lobbying by the Marine Plastics Working group, amongst others.
KIN HONG FESTIVAL 2017
In Sept 2017, more than 100 restaurants, retailers, catering companies, airlines and entertainment venues joined the 2nd Kin Hong Festival, which shows that there is more on offer and the industry is increasingly providing sustainable options.
SAFEGUARDING SEAFOOD FOR OUR FUTURE
In May 2017, ADMCF in collaboration with Teng Hoi organised a symposium targeting the seafood industry to examine and highlight some of the key sustainability issues in HK. A key outcome was the commitment to follow up on industry collaboration, to draft a Voluntary Code of Conduct on Responsible Seafood Sourcing.
From Boat to Bowl: Pattern and Dynamics of Shark Fin Trade in Hong Kong
This research puts together shark fin trade data to formulate suggestions for the HK government to more efficiently carry out monitoring and management of the trade.
From boat to bowl: Patterns and dynamics of shark fin trade in HK ― implications for monitoring and management
Shark fin has long been a 'luxury seafood' in the Chinese market. From the latest available data (1998–2013), 130 countries/territories around the world were recorded as exporting shark fin to Hong Kong. Spain, Taiwan, Indonesia, UAE, Singapore and Japan made up over 50% of all of HK's shark fin imports. Published by BLOOM.
More shipping lines ban the carriage of shark fin
16 of the world's top shipping lines have banned shipments of shark fin.

A tough competitor and adhesive crease-occupier, Hashan Tillakaratne was an important figure in Sri Lanka's emergence as an international force. As a schoolboy he excelled at cricket, first at Isipathana College Colombo and then subsequently at DS Senanayake College. He first came to prominence with a match-saving century against England B at Galle in 1986 while still at school, and went on to make his one-day international debut against India in November of that year. A Test debut followed against Australia three years later and early on in his Test career Tillakaratne often played as batsman-wicketkeeper.
But his considerable batting potential was realised when he gave up the gloves in 1994. Tillakaratne was an important figure in Sri Lanka's emergence as an international force which culminated with a historic victory in the Wills World cup in 1996. He lost his place when Sri Lanka turned to youth after the 1999 World Cup, but heavy scoring in domestic cricket brought him back into the national team in 2001. His return bolstered the middle order and he enjoyed a prolific run with the bat until being named Test captain in April 2003. His ten-match tenure produced just one win, which clinched a series against England later in the year, and his leadership style was criticised for being too defensive. Following a 3-0 series whitewash against Australia he stepped down in March 2004, and despite remaining keen to continue his career as a batsman, he was overlooked for the subsequent tour of Zimbabwe.

Q: If statements on negative decimal values ranges I am quite new to C# and I want to do an if condition on a number range of a negative value e.g if(percentage is equals to -60  to -80 ) then DoWork, my question is , How do I check using an if statement, as switches doesn't allow checks on decimal values. -60 to -80 means (negative 61 up till negative 81) as my condition, how can I achieve this in C#, any help will be greatly appreciated ,like I said I am still new to the .Net world.

A: if(value >= -80 && value <= -60) {
  doWork();
}

A: I'm guessing when you say 'decimal value ranges' and percentages, you're doing the calculation, so in that case:
if( x >= -.81 && x <= -.61)
{
//do something
}
otherwise, it would be:
if( x >= -81 && x <= -61)
{
//do something
}

A: if(number >= -80.0f && number <= -60.0f)
{
     // Do stuff
}

A: if(a >= -80 && a <= -60) {
  DoWork();
}

It's 1997 and digital cameras were just coming on the market. Native support didn't exist on Mac or PC, USB ports weren't standard, and the miniSD card wouldn't exist for another 6 years. The best storage option for the time was the humble floppy disk.
As The 8-Bit Guy shows in a walk down tech's memory lane, the very first digital cameras—like the Sony Mavica—were enormous, because they had to fit an entire floppy disk in them. The Mavica also took awful photos in two flavors: crap resolution where everything that moves is blurry, or apocalyptically bad resolution with less motion blur. Digital would surpass film in only a few years' time, but when the Mavica first launched the only obvious perk was the ability to delete photos.
The last iteration in the Mavica line made the even stranger storage decision to use mini CDs, requiring the thing to be turned on while resting on a flat surface... because CDs spin. But best of all, it supported USB so removing the disk was almost never necessary, as the 8-Bit Guy notes.
Many people might remember the Mavica line or its competitors—after all this was only 20 years ago. Still it's nice to give credit to some of the pioneering models in digital photography that helped to standardize many of the features we take for granted today.

Judge allows DoD to review JEDI contract award
120 days to come to a decision
Sebastian Moss
A federal judge on Friday put Amazon's JEDI lawsuit on hold to allow the Department of Defense to review the major military cloud contract.
The Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure contract was awarded to Microsoft in October, but Amazon claims the decision was full of "egregious errors" due to "improper pressure from President Donald Trump, who launched repeated public and behind-the-scenes attacks" due to his dislike for Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
JEDI on pause
– Kendall James, Oklahoma Army National Guard/DoD
Judge Patricia E. Campbell-Smith put the lawsuit on hold until August 17 to allow the military to reconsider aspects of the decision being challenged by Amazon.
In March, Campbell-Smith said that Amazon was "likely to succeed" with at least part of its case over the contract, worth as much as $10bn over 10 years. In particular, the judge believes procurement officials erred in evaluating Microsoft's proposed offering for online storage.
"The court considers it likely that [AWS's] chances of receiving the award would have increased absent defendant's evaluation error," Campbell-Smith wrote. She added that the company will likely be able to show that this alleged error prejudiced and did material harm to the company's chance of winning the contract.
After her comments, the DoD asked to reevaluate its award - something the judge has now granted.
At the time, Amazon lawyers said that the rethink would not go far enough: "The corrective action DoD proposes fails the tests of rationality and fairness, violates the broad discretion afforded an agency for addressing a procurement impropriety, and suggests that DoD seeks to take whatever corrective action is necessary to reaffirm its prior award to Microsoft despite the material defects the Court identified and DoD has now acknowledged."
Earlier this month, the DoD's Inspector General found that awarding JEDI to Microsoft "was consistent with applicable law and acquisition standards," but admitted it was blocked by the White House from investigating Trump interference claims.

Q: $2 \times 2$ matrix transformations on the unit circle I have been given the following problems to solve:

*

*Find all $2 \times 2$ matrices that transform each point on the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ into a point on the same circle. What happens to points on other circles?

*Find all $2 \times 2$ matrices that transform each point on the hyperbola $x^2 - y^2 = 1$ into a point on the same hyperbola. What happens to points on other hyperbolas?

*How would you extend your methods to other sets of points in the plane?

I am really struggling to prove that multiplying the rotation by any angle theta matrix with any point on the unit circle results in a point on the same circle, and likewise with the hyperbola question.

A: To prove that rotation of a point on the unit circle by any angle $\theta$ results in a point on the same circle,
note the following.
If $x^2+y^2=1$ and $\begin{pmatrix}x' \\ y'\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}\cos\theta &-\sin\theta\\ \sin\theta & \cos\theta \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}x \\y\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}x\cos\theta-y\sin\theta\\ x\sin\theta+y\cos\theta\end{pmatrix}$,
then $x'^2+y'^2=(x\cos\theta-y\sin\theta)^2+(x\sin\theta+y\cos\theta)^2$
$=x^2\cos^2\theta-2xy\cos\theta\sin\theta+y^2\sin^2\theta+x^2\sin^2\theta+2xy\sin\theta\cos\theta+y^2\cos^2\theta$.
Can you now combine terms and simplify using $\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1$?

The important thing is that you make sure that neither the favorable nor the unfavorable critics move into your head and take part in the composition of your next work.
The theater is supremely fitted to say: "Behold!  These Things Are!"  Yet most dramatists employ it to say: "This moral truth can be learned from beholding this action."
The test of an adventure is that when you're in the middle of it, you say to yourself, "Oh, now I've got myself into an awful mess; I wish I were sitting quietly at home."

On the stage it is always now: the personages are standing on that razor-edge, between the past and the future, which is the essential character of conscious being; the words are rising to their lips in immediate spontaneity.
I've never forgotten for long at a time that living is struggle. I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for—whether it's a field, or a home, or a country.
A sense of humor judges one's actions and the actions of others from a wider reference and a longer view and finds them incongruous.  It dampens enthusiasm; it mocks hope; it pardons shortcomings; it consoles failure.  It recommends moderation.
I discovered an important rule that I'm going to pass on to you.  Never support two weaknesses at the same time. It's your combination sinners—your lecherous liars and your miserly drunkards—who dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute.
weakness sin
Now he discovered that secret from which one never quite recovers, that even in the most perfect love one person loves less profoundly than the other.  There may be two equally good, equally gifted, equally beautiful, but there can never be two that love one another equally well.

The funding from Sportivate will benefit 25 different projects across Lincolnshire, in an attempt to get more women and girls into sport, and keep them involved. Full details can be found on the Lincolnite.
Lincoln Roses is one of these projects, and will provide hockey sessions for females for 6 weeks on Monday evenings from 14th July at the Lindum Sports Association. The sessions will take place with an emphasis on fun, fitness and friendship following England Hockey's Back to Hockey programme which has been a huge success.
Due to the demand from females wanting to carry on playing after experiencing the Back to Hockey sessions the club formed a ladies 3rd team in the 2011/12 season, which led to them being "Women's team of the season" at the 2013 England Hockey Awards. The interest has now grown so much that for the 2014/15 season will will be entering a ladies 4th team into the Yorkshire hockey league.


Pi Droid Alpha is a robot controller for the Raspberry Pi designed for education.
to the Raspberry Pi - everything you need (other than the Pi) to build an educational robot!
Pi Droid Alpha is for all current Raspberry Pi Models!
I wrote an article for the January 2014 issue of Servo showing how to build a simple Raspberry Pi based robot by adding an inexpensive motor driver and a simple circuit for servo control (on a prototyping board).
Later, I designed PiDroidAlpha and RoboPi, and I released RoboPi first due to an issue with the first run of PiDroidAlpha printed circuit boards.
Teachers loved RoboPi, but asked for a cheaper board that required less soldering and also had a motor driver on-board.
PiDroidAlpha is designed specifically for the educational market, and it is the only board you need to add to a Raspberry Pi for smaller educational robots.
There is no need to have a separate servo controller board, separate analog to digital converter board, and separate motor driver - and no birds nest of wires to connect it all to your Raspberry Pi!
Students (and hobbyists) will get a feeling of accomplishment from soldering their own controller kit.

Eva plucked up he courage to say hi first, but it was Will who had to make a move before she got away, "She actually introduced herself to me one Sunday and we had a little chat. After a couple of parties and nights out, I realised I would need to make a move pretty quickly or she would get snapped up in no time. I asked her out for coffee at the beginning of 2016 and after a few dates we officially got together in February. We initially bonded on a love of sport, music and our families, plus she's absolutely stunning and has a great accent!" Ah yes, we agree that a good accent can be a deal-sealer!
Love this snap of Will awaiting their first look!
Oh this already sounds like a sweet one!
And it gets even sweeter... "Eva's favourite flowers are yellow roses and sunflowers so throughout the gardens there were stops where there was an envelope and more flowers (yellow ones, her favourite) and in each envelope was a picture of us throughout our relationship with a story or something written on the back about how I felt about her in that moment. She kept on walking through gardens until the last section, out on a jetty going into a lake where I was standing, waiting to propose!" Wow - now that's a proposal story to tell the grandkids!
Will and Eva's wedding was every bit as memorable as their engagement, as Eva explains; "Our wedding had quite a rustic vibe, very homely and chilled. We wanted it to read boho, rustic, festival vibes. We took a lot of time picking every little detail of our day so it was definitely what we had in our minds when we started planning."
Doesn't Eva look like the most chilled-out and happy bride!
The navy and grey colour scheme for the bridal party looked amazing on everyone.
The inclusion of yellow flowers was a nod to their engagement; the cheerful colour is Eva's favourite.
"The venue also had a B&B which meant that Eva's family could come over from Ireland a few days before the wedding to spend time together and help with the set-up of the barn. It was really special to have that time together with both of our families in the lead up to the big day," explains Will.
The couple's reception venue, Furtho Manor Farm ticked all their boxes, "The fact that we had a clean slate and could decide exactly what we wanted to do and how we wanted to design it, was a winner for us. We could choose the caterer, the decorator and pretty much everything." We reckon they did an incredible job at pulling everything together.
Simple wooden tables and chairs kept the feel of the reception hall rustic and earthy. The fabric draping gives the black space setting a touch of polish, don't you think?
Clothes pegs and rosemary made a cute name card for each place setting.
Shaking up some cocktails for guests.
Using homemade wedding favours is not only budget-friendly, but it adds a sentimental touch. The options of what you could create are endless.
A nod to Eva's Irish fam!
Thanks so much to talented photography duo, Beard + Mane for sending use these amazing snaps. Will and Eva, you guys put on a good wedding! We wish you lots of love and happiness for the future.

James Rutenbeck awarded the FSC-LEF Fellowship
Cozette Russell2021-01-22T02:02:07-05:00June 12th, 2019|
We are excited to announce the awarding of our first Film Study Center-LEF Foundation Fellowship to James Rutenbeck for his project "inVisible." Rutenbeck's film tells the story of two low-income Boston residents whose lives are transformed by a rigorous tuition-free night course in art, literature, history and philosophy. It also poses a question: Is their newly found sense of agency strong enough to deflect the inequities of wealth, health, and race in a rapidly gentrifying city?
The FSC-LEF Fellowship, open to Boston-area nonfiction filmmakers who are not currently affiliated with Harvard, aims to foster connections between Harvard filmmakers and those in the surrounding communities. One filmmaker per academic year will receive a $10,000 grant (jointly funded by FSC and LEF Foundation), access to FSC's pool of production and post-production equipment, and the opportunity to participate in the Harvard FSC community through work-in-progress screenings, workshops, and other activities. Applications are accepted in the January round of the LEF Moving Image Fund production and post-production grant cycle.
We are looking forward to welcoming James into the FSC community for the academic year 2019-20, where we hope to support his project and learn from his long experience as an independent editor and director.

Seattle council to weigh 'tiered approach' to limiting SPD's use of crowd control weapons

BY NICK BOWMAN
Seattle City Councilmember Lisa Herbold will be introducing an updated version of a bill this week designed to impose limits on the police department's use of crowd control weapons.
This marks the culmination of a year-long saga which began in June of 2020, when Seattle councilmembers unanimously approved a ban on SPD's use of tear gas, pepper spray, and blast balls. The bill's implementation was quickly halted though, with federal Judge James Robart — who oversees SPD's ongoing consent decree — citing the need for more feedback on its potential impacts.
That had Seattle's three police accountability groups — the Office of Police Accountability, the Community Police Commission, and the Office of the Inspector General — submitting their own recommendations in September of 2020. All three groups agreed that large-scale changes to SPD's crowd control methods needed to be changed, but differed on whether some less-lethal weapons should be allowed in specific situations.
Oversight groups differ on how to handle crowd control weapons ban
Then in January of 2021, Councilmember Herbold announced her intention to craft a new version of that original legislation, using recommendations from Seattle's accountability groups and the council's public safety committee as a starting point, before sending a draft version to the Department of Justice and Judge Robart for further input. A month later, Robart reiterated the need for a more "collaborative effort" from the council regarding police reform.
That draft bill has now received feedback from Robart and federal monitors after receiving it in early February. It will be formally introduced in the council's public safety committee on Tuesday. Herbold detailed several of the key changes suggested by the DOJ during Monday morning's briefing as well, including:
Giving SPD 60 days to update its policies following the measure's passage
Conditioning the use of less lethal weapons during rallies or demonstrations "on whether or not the risk of serious bodily injury from violent action outweighs the risk to bystanders"
Specifically defining "crowd control" as having "the intent to move or disperse a crowd"
Herbold describes the larger bill as taking a "tiered approach" to certain weapons, allowing SWAT to use tear gas during "violent public disturbances," provided it's under the supervision of officers who have been trained in its use within the last 12 months, is part of a "detailed tactical plan" drafted before it's deployed, and is "reasonably necessary to prevent threat of imminent loss of life or serious bodily injury." A "violent public disturbance" is defined in the legislation as "any gathering where 12 or more persons threaten to use unlawful violence towards another person or group of people."
Seattle council wary of changes to SPD policies after rebuke from judge
It also includes full bans on acoustic weapons, blast balls, ultrasonic cannons, and water cannons. Weapons like flash bangs and "noise diversion devices" would be banned for rallies and demonstrations, while pepper spray would be permitted at any protest that escalates into a violent public disturbance, or for basic crowd control purposes.
It does not carve out exceptions for officers to use less lethal weapons to disperse crowds in the event of property damage, instead focusing on situations where there's a direct threat of harm to other people. It also allows someone to take legal action against the City of Seattle "for physical or emotional injuries proximately cause by the use of less lethal weapons," provided that it wasn't during a "violent public disturbance."
Councilmembers will begin discussion on the bill in committee on Tuesday, but will not likely vote on it until July.
