Q: Laravel 5.1 left join alias issue two foreign key on same table I have defined a two foreign keys from the warehouse_transfer table to the warehouse table.
I have tried two ways to implement my Laravel Eloquent Query but in both ways in does not working
Two ForeignKey Referencing Same Table,
warehouse_transfer:
1   id                  int(11)

2   date                timestamp

3   from_warehouse_id   int(11)    references warehouse

4   to_warehouse_id     int(11)    references warehouse

5   staff_id            int(11)

6   itp                 timestamp

7   utp                 timestamp

warehouse:
1   id                  int(11)

2   name                varchar(500)

Now on the time of retrieve data i want name from warehouse table,
Step - 1:
WarehouseTransfer::select("warehouse_transfer.*,staff.name as staff_name,warehouse.name AS from_warehouse_name,warehouse.name AS to_warehouse_name")
                ->leftjoin('staff', 'staff.id', '=', 'warehouse_transfer.staff_id')
                ->leftJoin('warehouse', 'warehouse.id', '=', 'warehouse_transfer.from_warehouse_id')
                ->leftJoin('warehouse', 'warehouse.id', '=', 'warehouse_transfer.to_warehouse_id')
                ->paginate(10)

which says,

1066 Not unique table/alias: oops_warehouse

Step - 2:
WarehouseTransfer::select("warehouse_transfer.*,staff.name as staff_name,w1.name AS from_warehouse_name,w2.name AS to_warehouse_name")
                ->leftjoin('staff', 'staff.id', '=', 'warehouse_transfer.staff_id')
                ->leftJoin('warehouse AS w1', 'w1.id', '=', 'warehouse_transfer.from_warehouse_id')
                ->leftJoin('warehouse AS w2', 'w2.id', '=', 'warehouse_transfer.to_warehouse_id')
                ->paginate(10)

which says,

Column not found: 1054 Unknown column oops_w1.id in 'on clause'

So ultimately issue is alias on leftjoin table is not working

A: I was missing DB::raw() that i have used and problem has been solved,
// Warehouse Transfer From
if (in_array('from_warehouse_id', $columns)) {
    $q->addSelect(DB::raw("fromw.id as from_warehouse_id, fromw.name from_warehouse_name"))
    ->leftjoin(DB::raw('oops_warehouse AS fromw'), DB::raw('fromw.id'), '=', 'warehouse_transfer.from_warehouse_id');
}

// Warehouse Transfer To
if (in_array('to_warehouse_id', $columns)) {
    //$q->addSelect('warehouse_transfer.to_warehouse_id', 'warehouse.name AS to_warehouse_name');
    $q->addSelect(DB::raw("tow.id as to_warehouse_id, tow.name to_warehouse_name"))
    ->leftjoin(DB::raw('oops_warehouse AS tow'), DB::raw('tow.id'), '=', 'warehouse_transfer.to_warehouse_id');
}


Enhance your hunt!!! Use natural foliage to blend your ladder stand with its natural surroundings.
The ladder stand tree stand is a very comfortable format for hunting big game animals. The problem with ladder stands is they tend to stand out, ESPECIALLY in a hardwoods environment.
A great spot… But little cover calls for UBERDECKEN!!!!!
Simply attach TREE STAND UP – Uberdecken to the ladder stand ladder below the hunter platform… The unique concealment system allows the hunter to mirror the surroundings.
Conceal your stand by sticking branches into the holes of Uberdecken. Conceal the stand and bend branches to create unique shooting lanes and improve your hunting experience.

The World's Most Innovative Countries
August 14, 2013 Administrator
INSEAD-WIPO-Cornell University rank 142 countries on their innovation capabilities. Sixth annual index reshuffles the top ten and shows gap widening between rich and poor countries.
The top 25 countries may be the same – albeit in a different order from past years – but this year's Global Innovation Index, produced by INSEAD, WIPO and Cornell University shows there is no short-cut to successful innovation: it takes continued development of talent, sustained investment, institutional support… and the right mindset.
That accounts for some of the major position shifts in this year's top ten countries. "The U.S. is one of the countries which, in spite of the crisis, has maintained its level of investment in research and development and in innovation-related sectors. We see, for instance, a remarkable increase in spending on computer software which is directly applied to research and innovation," said Bruno Lanvin, Executive Director, INSEAD European Competitiveness Initiative & co-author, Global Innovation Index Report. The USA moved up from 10th place last year to number five this year.
While the rest of the top ten countries in the GII remain the same as last year, their positions have shifted, with Singapore falling out of the top 3, where it has resided for the past two years, to 8th position.
Lanvin also notes that a "stop-and-go" policy in terms of innovation investment is generally detrimental to innovation performance. "It is much more difficult to stop investment in innovation and to resume it in a year or two… than to maintain a consistent flow of investment into innovation. Some countries have continued to do that. The U.S. is one example which has translated that into significant improvements in the ranking and governments have been using innovation investment as a countercyclical policy instrument."
For Singapore, Lanvin attributes the fall mainly to the change in methodology which put more weight on the output side of innovation, such as creativity on the internet, licensing trademarks under the Madrid system, patents, R&D and trade-related items.
"Singapore remains very high in terms of input and dropped significantly in terms of output which is where the methodical changes have been the strongest. For instance, we see the rank of Singapore dropping when we introduce items relating to the creation of GTLDs (General Top Level Domain) names on the internet or creative industries so these are areas where we expect further adjustments will be made next year," he added.
In its 6th edition, the GII measures 142 countries, using 84 indicators, which include the quality of universities, availability of microfinance and venture capital, to gauge innovation capabilities and measurable results. On a global basis, research and development (R&D) spending levels are surpassing 2008 levels in most countries and existing innovation hubs are thriving.
Top Ten 2013 Ranking
1 Switzerland (Number 1 in 2012) 6 Finland (4)
2 Sweden (2) 7 Hong Kong (China) (8)
3 United Kingdom (5) 8 Singapore (3)
4 Netherlands (6) 9 Denmark (7)
5 United States of America (10) 10 Ireland (9)
The Innovation Learners
There were encouraging signs from the developing markets in this year's GII with 18 emerging economies outperforming peers in their respective income groups (The Republic of Moldova, China, India, Uganda, Armenia, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Jordan, Mongolia, Mali, Kenya, Senegal, Hungary, Georgia, Montenegro, Costa Rica, Tajikistan and Latvia).
"The reason why these countries have emerged as the upcoming future champions of innovation is basically they are focused on three main pillars of innovation: They have generally fostered education, they have attracted talents and created talents for innovation; second they have also nurtured the climate of investment around innovation, they have created a culture of venture and risk capital which has helped local investors; and last but not least they have also built strong and dynamic structures of innovation, that is the institutional part of it which should not be neglected," said Lanvin.
Divide remains
But, as with last year's GII, a significant divide remains.
"It is clearly good news for the countries at the top as the top 10 are the same as last year, the top 25 are the same as last year with some games of musical chairs within those groups, but the gap between these top countries and the rest seems to be increasing," said Lanvin.
Part of the reason for this, say the report's authors, is that innovation success leads to a virtuous circle, where investment attracts further investment, as well as talent and innovation. Poorer countries start from a lower financial basis and are having a hard time catching up.
Even middle income countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRICs), says Lanvin, are coming up against an invisible wall, where they have progressed steadily over the years but are now stuck. He suggests that "beyond the obvious ingredients for innovation: public, private investment, education and R&D, there is an ecosystem that needs to be built around factors that may be more difficult to define and measure, which have to do with the fact that innovation is not just the result of innovation, but it's also a mindset."
"The elements that are required to develop the talents around innovation, the degree of cooperation, still have yet to be defined and measured," he added.
The Hub Effect
One way such weaknesses can be overcome, says the GII, is by looking at "local specifics" in different parts of the world to develop hubs of innovation activity. The report says that too many innovation strategies have been focused on trying to replicate successes in other parts of the world, such as Silicon Valley, rather than develop their own strengths.
"For national-level policy makers seeking to support innovation, realising the full potential of innovation in their own backyards is often a more promising approach than trying to emulate successful innovation models elsewhere," said Francis Gurry, the Director General of WIPO. "These hubs leverage local advantages with a global outlook on markets and talent."
Such hubs have come to define the bee hives of economic activity and innovation taking place in cities such as Dubai and Singapore, with centres of excellence such as Internet City in Dubai, the Middle East's biggest ICT hub and Singapore's "Knowledge Hub" where INSEAD's Asia Campus sits amid a bustling cluster of academic and research institutions.
"What happens at the sub-national level typically in clusters or among regions or in the city are at least as important as the countrywide type of data," says Lanvin. "We see the emergence of these multifaceted, multitalented, multilayered type of clusters as an ingredient for success."

The Pearl River Delta is one of the most densely urbanized regions in the world, carved out over millions of years by the turbulent waters of the eponymous river: a river in danger. The delta is notoriously polluted with waste and sewage disturbing the natural ecosystem, posing serious health-risks and even endangering certain animal species.
This destruction of the ecosystem is further advanced by the lack of true natural spaces along the river's brutally hard edges. ACCRETION TOWERS attempt to address these regional issues through three behaviors: One: acting as filters for contaminants and water purification infrastructure. Two: slowly regenerating a wild, natural zone to allow the ecosystem to thrive once again.
And last but not least: offer new high-density living possibilities. Through a slow, natural, non-brutal process, these new towers will attempt not only to protect, preserve and revive nature but to bring man closer to the endangered ecosystem.
The architecture of the towers themselves will endeavor to create a new vertical living experience inspired by landscape and topography and rejecting the vertical schism of conventional towers. Stepped apartments, sloping bridges and landscaped slabs all contribute to accentuating verticality and interaction between inhabitants on different levels. ACCRETION TOWERS are a new, skyward landscape, a different experience of living vertically.


"The YTR2330 trumpet is the perfect starter instrument for students. The main focus for the design was on a light and easy to play trumpet with a great sound and perfect intonation. Yamaha design instruments with an emphasis on the ergonomics so that they offer beginners optimum support thereby greatly assisting learning, progress and creativity"
"The YTR-4335G shares many of the same qualities of our professional models, like a rich full tone with accurate intonation and the ability to either blend with the ensemble or project a solo. The Yamaha 4335 trumpet features Monel pistons for quick and reliable valve action, and a gold-brass bell for a warm rich tone"
"The YTR-6335II is at home in any setting, from studio to big band, concert band, chamber group or orchestra. It features a medium-large bore and a yellow-brass bell for a big sound with clear projection and it is ideal for those who need versatility in their horn"
"Yamaha's Z trumpets were designed in collaboration with jazz legend Bobby Shew. Bobby plays a wide variety of musical styles and dreamed of a single trumpet which would be equally suited for screaming lead, mellow jazz, ballads, 'legit' studio gigs, etc. It took many years of working with Bobby before we finally achieved our goal, but it was worth it"
"This trumpet can be found in many of the world's top orchestras. In fact, it has been so effective in giving a more traditional tone color to 'Germanic' style music, that many conductors have begun specifically requesting Yamaha Rotaries"
"YTR-9335CHS Artist Model Bb Trumpet Developed with Chicago Symphony Orchestra associate-principal trumpet John Hagstrom, the YTR-9335CHS is designed for high level orchestral and jazz use. This instrument is designed to be a perfect partner to the already popular YTR-9445CHS C-Trumpet"
"Developed with Cleveland Orchestra associate - principal trumpet Robert Sullivan, the YTR-9335NYS is designed for high level orchestral and jazz use. Players such as Nicholas Payton, Sean Jones and Marvin Stamm will attest to the versatility of what is certain to be a popular instrument among a number of pro players"
"The YTR-4435 has been designed by the same team that produces our top-of-the-line professional models and shares many of the same qualities, like a rich full tone with accurate intonation, and the ability to either blend with the ensemble or project a solo. Pitched in C, it features a set of four slides to convert it to Bb for added versatility"
"Developed with Cleveland Orchestra associate - principal trumpet Robert Sullivan, the YTR-9335NYS is designed for high level orchestral use. This instrument is designed to be a perfect partner to the YTR-9335NYS Bb Trumpet"
"The new Xeno Artist Model represents the culmination of three years of prototyping, testing and retesting to achieve in a trumpet what has often been attempted, but never been accomplished before successfully"
"Yamaha high-pitched trumpets feature a brilliant tone with crisp clear attacks and excellent control in the high register. The Yamaha 6610S has a durable silver-plate finish and offers highly accurate intonation"
"The Yamaha 9630 Trumpet is especially well suited for use in place of Bb or C trumpets, due to its large sized 5" bell which gives a broad warm sound. A 4th valve extends the lower range making it possible to play most Bb and C trumpet parts"
"The Yamaha 9610 Trumpet offers outstandingly accurate intonation"
"The Yamaha 9635 Trumpet comes with two bells and sets of slides to convert it to either E or Eb which makes it especially suitable for both Hummel and Haydn concertos"
"This trumpet is easy to play, has a beautiful tone, and excellent intonation. The Yamaha 6810 Piccolo Trumpet is converted to either Bb or A by changing the leadpipes provided. A fourth valve adds an extended range"
"The Yamaha 9710 Trumpet features two bells and sets of slides to convert it to either G or F. It offers the sound and playability of a 'big' trumpet, with the security and control of a piccolo trumpet. The intonation is surprisingly accurate, and the tone flexible enough to use in many different styles of music"

It is a pleasure for me to address this opening session of the Nuclear Power Forum Philippines. The Philippines is a very active member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, working closely with us across a broad range of activities. It also plays an important role at the global level, for example by chairing the Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons earlier this year.
The IAEA´s primary objective is to bring the benefits of nuclear science and technology to all humankind, while minimizing their risks. We help our Member States to meet their energy needs, use nuclear techniques in many areas for peaceful purposes and work for nuclear non-proliferation.
Nuclear power is enjoying growing acceptance in many countries as a stable and clean source of energy that can help to mitigate the impact of climate change. More than 60 countries are considering introducing nuclear energy. The IAEA´s projections are that between 10 and 25 new countries are likely to bring their first reactors on line by 2030. Many of the countries which already have nuclear power are planning or building new reactors or extending the operational life of existing reactors.
The growing attractiveness of nuclear power is due to a number of factors. They include its very low greenhouse gas emissions; surging global energy demand; its strong and lengthening performance and safety record, which now totals more than 14 000 reactor-years; and concerns about energy security.
I firmly believe that access to nuclear power should not be limited to the developed countries. It should also be available to developing countries. The Agency is well-placed to help. We now have projects on introducing nuclear power with fifty-eight of our Member States, 17 of whom are actively preparing nuclear power programmes.
So what is the role of the IAEA? The Agency seeks to provide objective and comparative information and advice to interested Member States. Our advice has the advantage of being comprehensive and impartial.
To start with, countries considering the introduction of nuclear power seek the Agency´s assistance in analyzing their options and choosing the best energy mix. Once a country makes the decision to include nuclear power in its energy mix, the Agency helps to make sure that this is done sustainably and profitably. It also needs to be done responsibly, ensuring safety and security, and exclusively for peaceful purposes. The Agency tries to impress upon interested countries that it is necessary to plan properly, to build the required human resources and infrastructure and to follow international safety, security and non-proliferation norms.
The IAEA has developed guidelines and milestones to help countries work in a systematic manner towards the introduction of nuclear power. Use of the milestones can increase transparency both within a country introducing nuclear power, and between it and other States.
The process starts with a country thoroughly researching all aspects of building a nuclear power programme so it is ready to make a knowledgeable and long term commitment to proceed. It then undertakes the infrastructure preparatory work for the construction of a nuclear power plant and gets ready to invite bids. The final phase is when a country is ready to commission and operate its first nuclear power plant.
This sounds simple and straightforward, but in practice the whole process can take many years. There are no short-cuts. But the IAEA is there to help at every stage. We assist interested countries with everything from planning their nuclear energy policy and drafting their nuclear legislation to establishing independent regulatory bodies and providing training for regulators and operators.
In the case of the Philippines, the IAEA has provided assistance in strengthening the country´s capabilities in nuclear science and technology and energy planning. We also provided advice on developing a Human Resource Development Plan for Nuclear Energy.
For nuclear power to remain viable as a source of energy, it is vital that concerns regarding safety and security are addressed. Safety and security are primarily the responsibility of each sovereign state. However, the IAEA has a strong role to play, because an accident or malicious act may have far-reaching and cross-border consequences.
There has been a very significant improvement in the efficient and safe performance of the nuclear industry in the past two decades. This reflects factors including improved design, better operating procedures, a strengthened and more effective regulatory environment and the emergence of a strong safety culture.
The IAEA promotes an integrated approach to nuclear safety, focusing on management systems, effective leadership and safety culture. It is important that countries´ safety and security infrastructures keep pace with developments in all areas of nuclear science and technology. We must never be complacent.
The Agency helps countries to reduce the risk of terrorists obtaining nuclear or radioactive material and to prevent sabotage at nuclear facilities. IAEA support covers all aspects of nuclear security, from physical protection at facilities to radiation detection and response. We helped to protect against possible nuclear attacks at the World Cup in South Africa this year and at the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.
The Agency is also an objective and reliable source of information for the public and for experts. I believe there is more we can do in this area, particularly for nuclear waste. Nuclear waste disposal is often a high-profile issue in both countries with established nuclear power programmes and in countries introducing nuclear power.
Many people are unaware that the world has more than a half century of experience of successfully dealing with nuclear waste. The performance and safety records in this area are good and there is much knowledge and well-developed waste management capabilities that can be shared around the world. Low and intermediate level waste management (including disposal) is now well established in industrial practice.
For high-level waste, the technology for deep geological disposal already exists. Two countries, Finland and Sweden, have completed thorough site selection exercises, in each case with broad support from the local population and from the country as a whole. The Agency has established networks for sharing such experience and can help make sure this information is better known and more widely spread.
For those responsible for managing waste we offer guidance documents, planning assistance, training and peer reviews to help build capabilities. One important focus is ensuring involvement of the public and other stakeholders in planning and decision-making for waste. My intention is that the Agency should expand its activities in waste disposal.
The IAEA also works as a catalyst for innovation in nuclear energy. I take a keen interest in research and development which will maximize energy efficiency, reduce risks to the environment and ease the burden on future generations of having to deal with nuclear waste. I look forward to the development of new nuclear technologies which can generate electricity at competitive prices, with improved safety and reduced construction times and operating costs.
In view of the increasing interest of many countries in introducing nuclear power, I would like to encourage international lending institutions to consider being more open in their approach to funding nuclear power projects. I also believe that the benefits of nuclear power in mitigating the negative effects of climate change deserve wider recognition in the relevant international fora.
I am confident that nuclear energy has a very promising future. Its importance looks certain to grow in the coming decades as more and more countries add it to their energy mix. Continued technological innovation will improve the attractiveness of nuclear power.
The IAEA will continue to play its part in helping to make the benefits of peaceful nuclear technology available to all humankind.

Stichting Collectie De Stadshof verzamelt en beheert een internationale collectie outsiderkunst. De collectie werd in de jaren '90 tentoongesteld in Zwolle en is sinds 2002 in bruikleen bij Museum Dr. Guislain in Gent. Stichting Collectie De Stadshof zet zich in voor de realisatie van een nieuw museum of podium voor outsiderkunst in Nederland. Daarbij leent de stichting werken uit haar collectie uit voor museale exposities en organiseert zij ook zelf tentoonstellingen in musea in binnen- en buitenland.

Outsiderkunst is de noemer voor kunstwerken die buiten het circuit van beroepskunstenaars worden gemaakt. Daar valt  een breed scala van kunstuitingen onder, van naïeve kunst tot art brut. Het gaat om spontane en eigenwijze artistieke creaties van mensen die zichzelf doorgaans niet als kunstenaar profileren. Bijzondere facetten van deze kunstwerken zijn het unieke herkenbare handschrift van de maker, de ongebruikelijke materialen waarmee de kunst gemaakt wordt, en de overladen beelden.

Collectie De Stadshof telt ruim 6000 kunstwerken, zowel van kunstenaars uit de internationaal erkende canon van de outsiderkunst – Willem van Genk, Nek Chand, Nikifor, Madge Gill, Carlo Zinelli, Zemánková, Pavel Leonov, Michel Nedjar, Rosemarie Koczÿ en Theo - als van vele eigen ontdekkingen - Herman Bossert, Aaltje Dammer, Adama Diakhaté, Luiz Figueiredo, Siebe Wiemer Glastra, Bertus Jonkers, Truus Kardol, Saï Kijima, Reuben Lake, Bonaria Manca, Markus Meurer, Bruno Montpied, Roy Wenzel en Johnson Weree.

Voorgeschiedenis

Stichting Collectie De Stadshof is in 1995 per statutenwijziging voortgekomen uit de Stichting Nederlands Museum voor Naïeve Kunst, die op haar beurt werd opgericht in 1985. De eerste activiteit in de jaren '80 was het opzetten van een documentatiecentrum voor internationale naïeve kunst in Rotterdam Delfshaven. Toen de gemeente Zwolle in 1993 ruimte schiep voor een professioneel museum voor deze kunst in haar stad, greep de stichting die kans aan.

Museum De Stadshof slaagde er in de Zwolse periode (1994–2001) in om zich nationaal en internationaal te profileren via tal van symposia, manifestaties en publicaties. Het koepelbegrip 'naïeve kunst' werd daarbij vervangen door de internationaal gehanteerde aanduiding 'outsiderkunst' waaronder de stichting ook naïeve kunst rekent, naast art brut, visionary art e.d. Om redenen van gewijzigd gemeentelijk cultuurbeleid van de gemeente Zwolle moest het museum zijn deuren sluiten. Sinds 2002 is de verzameling in langdurig bruikleen bij het Gentse Museum Dr. Guislain.

While the race for promotion in Division 2 continues and places at the top change from week to week its St. Joseph's Glenavy who have been plugging away consistently and Sunday's win over visitors Dunloy sees them move up the table into second place.
Glenavy kept their upward drive with this well merited win over Dunloy. The first half was a forgettable affair with both sides guilty of more wides than scores.

What is Kambo
Kambo Science
Sananga & Rapé
Sananga - potent eye drops
Sananga is made from the Amazonian plant Tabernaemontana undulate. The fermented extract contains various alkaloids, including ibogaine-like compounds. It is administered as eye drops. Sananga has been used traditionally to improve visions in the third eye, as well as treat a number of ocular conditions in the eyes. It contains powerful antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that improve eye health. It is believed to clear "Panema" or bad luck/negative energy. One drop is placed in each eye while lying down. Sananga causes an intense burning sensation for a about a minute, but dissipates quickly. The experience is usually over within 5-10 minutes. Afterwards the individual has improved vision, groundedness, relaxation and sense of spiritual clarity. Sananga is applied before your kambo treatment. Contact lenses must be removed. Ana brews her own sananga from the shredded root bark she sources from Peru, please reach out if you wish to purchase her drops or require any further information on this unique medicine.
Rapé and Sacred Tobacco
Rapé (pronounced ha-pay) is a shamanic medicine that has been used by indigenous peoples of the Amazon basin for thousands of years. The preparation of powdered herbs plays an important role in their tribal culture and history. Rapé is a complex mix of various medicinal plants of the Amazon, with the main ingredient being Nicotiana rustica, a strong tobacco that is 20 times more potent than Nicotiana tabacum. Among the tribes of South America, rapé is used for various ceremonial purposes, from initiation rites to drinking festivals, for social and for medicinal purposes alike. Some tribes are known to use it regularly after meals. The particular effects of rapé will vary depending on occasion and the full list of ingredients involved in its preparation.
The pulverised rapé powder, which is normally blown up into one's nostrils by another person with a pipe, causes an intense effect that opens up the mind, releasing physical, emotional, and spiritual illnesses. The high nicotine content in the mix has a stimulating effect and releases hormones such as epinephrine, acetylcholine, and dopamine, leading to increased clarity and heightened awareness.
The healers of the rainforest use rapé to rebalance their energies and to connect with their higher selves and the universe. The rapé ritual is also regarded as a way to cleanse and detoxify the body. The snuff causes a release of mucus and bacteria that aids in fighting inflammation and various illnesses.
Some speculate that rapé might help with decalcification of the pineal gland, which could potentially make it effective to prevent Alzheimer's disease; although, research into this topic is still in the early stages.

Eagle's Nest West "Land of no Slack"
Nestled in a quiet valley in Oregon is a little known place called "The Land
of No Slack." Top sticks from around the Air Force are starting to flock to this new Mecca for "Eagle" superiority. A mythical place for bedtime stories? No, just the first training base in the Air National Guard for F-15 Eagle pilots. Currently all F-15 pilots are trained at Klamath Falls IAP taking over the active USAF Eagle training from Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla.
Located in Klamath Falls, the 173rd Fighter Wing at Kingsley Field Air National Guard Base is going through an unexpected aircraft conversion from pilot training in the F-16 to the F-15. An impossible mission? Not really, especially with the talent assembled to tackle the challenge.
The conversion at Kingsley Field actually began a few years ago when there was talk at the Pentagon about the need for additional F-15 training capability for the total force. The Air Force was considering an Air National Guard unit to fill that need.
"We were energized by that opportunity," said Col. Billy Cox, 173rd Fighter Wing commander. So when the opportunity came to compete for the mission, Cox aggressively mounted a campaign to Washington, D.C. There he talked to Guard leaders to sell the organization as a potential site for the mission.
"Our biggest selling point was our experience in student pilot training production and the reduced cost of changing us rather than locating at some other locations," said Cox.
Not too long afterward, the 173rd was given the thumbs up to go ahead. "We went in with our eyes open," Cox said. "We knew the effort required us to convert to a new airplane. The work required of operations and maintenance to learn and maintain the jet was going to be significantly different than with the F-16."
And Kingsley Field's conversion is not your normal swap of one mission for another. When Lt. Col. Johnny Adkisson, 114th Fighter Squadron commander, first arrived in 1989, the wing was just finishing a conversion from the F-4 to the F-16. "That was a planned conversion that was budgeted. We had airplanes, equipment and everything a normal conversion has. Our new conversion is somewhat different," said Adkisson.

The Guard took a jet from each one of its six F-15 units, with two of those units providing one additional airplane. And that's where the fun really started.
According to Lt. Col. Paul Weitlisbach, 173rd vice commander, there was no support equipment anywhere. Normally when a unit stands up in a planned conversion, another shuts down and provides the needed equipment. Not so in this case.
"Just having the 'iron' out there is nice. They're shiny, and they look good in the sun. But if you don't have all the support equipment that you need to fix the airplane, then it's never going to leave the ground," he said.
And a normal two- or three-day turnaround becomes eight days because of the need to send parts to Portland 300 miles away, where the 142nd Fighter Wing has F-15 avionics test stations. To help fix the problem, the 173rd sent teams to other F-15 units and the air logistics centers, to scrounge for parts and discarded equipment.
They took burnt-looking, twisted, broken pieces of equipment with holes in them and created something that works. "You talk about your $300 toilet seat. This is the complete opposite. We're creating multimillion dollar test stations out of 'garbage' — spinning straw into gold," Weitlisbach said. "This has been a Herculean effort by my people."
And the 173rd's maintenance team is so fired up about what they've accomplished that, according to Weitlisbach, "you literally have to kick them out the door to get them to go home at night. The taxpayer is getting a lot of bang for the buck with what we are doing here."On the other side of the

conversion challenge are the F-16 pilots who are just starting to get familiar with the F-15. "I'll miss the F-16 because I like doing what I'm already good at," said Capt. Matt Andrews, 114th Fighter Squadron instructor pilot.
"It's like when you're driving your car, you switch on the turn signal without even thinking about it," Andrews said. "But when you get into an unfamiliar car, reach for that turn signal, and it's not there anymore — you have to stop and think about it. When you have to stop and think, then you're too slow. You're not fighting, you're not maximizing how you employ the machine.
"A lot of what we learned in the F-16 still applies — your basic smart fighter pilot tactics," Andrews said. "We just have to retrain our fingers. We call it the 'piccolo drill' — where to put your fingers on the control stick and throttle to hit the "note" you want.
And the 114th FS has hit some high notes in the past. It's well-respected in the fighter community for the training it accomplished with the F-16. "Training students is our life here," said Adkisson. "We've been doing it since the place opened up. We're set up for it. We have the facilities for it and the culture for it.
"Besides, we have thick skins. That's why our sign in the hallway says the 'Land of No Slack.' "
173rd Fighter Wing Eagles in Australia
by Master Sgt. Jerry Bynum
The 173rd Fighter Wing (FW) from Kingsley Field, Klamath Falls, Oregon started a flight exercise, "Sentry Down under", on Monday, August 25 with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) 2nd Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) located at RAAF Williamtown, New South Wales, Australia. Members of the 173rd FW arrived in Australia late last week and prepared for the arrival of Oregon Air National Guard F-15 Eagles from the 173rd FW and a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 141st Air Refueling Wing (ARW), Washington Air National Guard, Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington. The F-15s and KC-135 arrived at RAAF Williamtown on August 22.

Like the 173rd FW, the 2nd OCU has a strong culture of training. The 2nd OCU trains RAAF fighter pilots as its primary role. They run the operational conversion courses for new pilots to the RAAF's F/A-18 Hornet, operational refresher courses for former F-18 pilots returning to the aircraft, and fighter combat instructor courses to provide postgraduate qualifications for selected aircrew.
"Sentry Downunder" is a joint flight exercise with the 173rd FW assisting the RAAF 2nd OCU combat fighter instructor course with their advanced fighter weapons school. "This training gives us the opportunity to work with one of our closest allies," says Major Brian Bergeron, 173rd FW project officer for the deployment. "Camaraderie was evident from the very first day; we train fighter pilots and we do the same things for the same reasons." The RAAF F-18's from the 77th Squadron (SQN), which is their operational squadron located at RAAF Williamtown, is also getting the opportunity to participate in the exercise.

Robert Erickson, 173rd Fighter Wing (FW) instructor pilot, Oregon Air National Guard, returns from a basic fight maneuver flight with a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) F/A-18 Hornet during "Sentry Downunder" on August 28, 2008 at RAAF Williamtown, New South Wales, Australia. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Master Sgt. Jerry Bynum/Released)
It has been a busy week of flying. During "Sentry Downunder" the 173rd FW has performed tactical sorties as well as familiarization flights. Forty-nine sorties were flown during the week with the 2nd OCU and the 77th SQN. Each sortie has included multiple training missions. "These missions are a great learning experience for everyone involved," says Major Johan Deutscher, 173rd FW instructor pilot. "The RAAF gets an opportunity to look at the full capabilities of another airframe as well as train with seasoned instructor pilots." The 173rd FW pilots bring a lot of experience to the exercise. On average, each instructor pilot has over 2,000 flight hours in the F-15. This experience provides a high quality training environment for the RAAF.
"The 173rd FW is bringing a high level of experience," says Wing Commander Phil Gordon, RAAF 2nd OCU commander. "The Eagle pilots are really putting us through our paces with high quality fighting… I would love this training to happen as often as it can." The 2nd OCU performs the same mission for the RAAF as the 173rd FW does for the United States, train combat fighter pilots. "The 173rd FW understands what we do," says Gordon, "I couldn't be happier with you guys coming out flying with us".
During the exercise, 173rd FW is acting as adversary support for the 2nd OCU. This helps them meet their syllabus requirements for their advanced fighter weapons school. "Sentry Downunder" provides an avenue for the RAAF pilots to learn the Hornet's strengths and weaknesses during dissimilar aircraft engagements. "The RAAF pilots are learning a lot about the capabilities of their aircraft during this training," says Deutscher.
During the past week of tactical sorties, the fighters have been concentrating on one versus one basic fighter maneuvers; better know as "dog fighting". This training focuses on close quarter combat where each aircraft is within sight of the other. Next week the tactical sorties will focus on long range tactical intercepts. The F-15 will simulate the Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker to provide different tactics required by the RAAF course syllabus. This training allows the RAAF to adapt their tactics to maximize their strengths.
Pilots from the 173rd FW and the 2nd OCU have also participated in familiarization "ride-along" flights in the F-15 and the F-18 respectively. This provides a unique opportunity for pilots to see, and "feel", how the other jets fly.
In-flight tanker support from the 141st ARW has provided air-to-air refueling during the exercise. "We have flown in-flight refueling missions in support of the 173rd FW and the RAAF," says Lt. Col. Kevin Littlemore, 141st ARW deployment commander. "It has been great to work with the RAAF; this exercise has provided a great opportunity for in-flight refueling training for our allies." Not only is the tanker providing additional training, it is critical to provide the necessary fuel to accomplish the mission. Without the KC-135, flight sorties would be limited. "Tanker support is allowing us to conduct a training mission, refuel, and fly another training mission," says Bergeron.
Not only has there been camaraderie in the air, but on the ground as well. This has been an opportunity for open communication and work with other aspects of the RAAF. The 173rd FW deployed maintenance package is getting the opportunity to interact with the different maintenance functions of the RAAF. "This has been a great opportunity to exchange maintenance practices and learn about different technologies that the RAAF are using, especially when it comes to aircraft servicing," says Captain Micah Lambert, 173rd FW maintenance officer. "The exchange of ideas helps all of each of us improve the way we perform our jobs."
The maintenance operations control center has to coordinate with the RAAF on a daily basis concerning maintenance issues and air traffic control. Other interaction includes the fuels management flight, which has had the opportunity to work side-by-side with the RAAF during ground refueling operations for the F-15. Each area has had an opportunity to work with their respective counterpart in the RAAF.
Flying will continue through next week and conclude on Friday, September 5. "Training with the Australians has provided our instructors, maintenance, logistics, and support personnel with a better understanding of our allies and their capabilities," says Colonel James Miller, 173rd FW commander. "The mission and our very supportive hosts have been wonderful… the lessons learned will prove invaluable in the years ahead."
Kingsley Field Ready to Accept all F-15C Training
9/13/2009 – Sept. 13, 2009 — KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — The Air Force has decided to merge its active-duty F-15C training with the Oregon Air National Guard.
The merger comes as Air Education and Training Command adjusts to the drawdown of F-15 fighter aircraft following Defense Secretary Robert Gates recommended phasing out 112 of the service's 405 in current use, said Col. Jeff Kendall, deputy director for flying training at AETC Headquarters, in a recent interview with Air Force Times.
The 173rd Fighter Wing currently shares the training mission with the 325th Fighter Wing at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla. however the planned merger would leave the Klamath Falls base as the sole provider.
"As a wing, we are prepared to accept all of the F-15C training for the Air Force and Air National Guard if or when the Air Force makes that decision," said Col. James Miller, the 173rd Fighter Wing commander.
Currently AETC has not said what they plan to do with the crew chief apprentice course, which provides the final step for student crew chiefs as they move join the operational Air Force, but Kendall says Kingsley Field is one option.
"Recently, we received correspondence that AETC had done two site visits to determine which locale would assume the crew chief apprentice course and apparently, AETC has opted to continue that training mission at Seymour Johnson AFB, N.C.," said Miller. "It has gone forward for formal coordination although a final decision has not been made yet."
Until now Tyndall AFB has trained approximately 60-80 pilots in a given year and the 173rd over 40 . According to Kendall that is approximately the number the Air Force will need following the draw down.
"Being the sole F-15 training base would not increase our flying hour program too dramatically," said Miller. "We currently fly between 4,800 and 5,200 hours and we would be able to accomplish the F-15 training mission within those hours and are postured to fly more."
Perhaps the most obvious sign of the merger for Klamath Falls residents will be four additional F-15 D-models which will increase the wing's aircraft count to about 25, said Kendall.
Another piece of the shared training mission is air battle manager training.
"In the last two years, the 173d Fighter Wing has hosted approximately 80 air battle manager students and instructors in support of the air battle manager syllabus and we continue to work with AETC to maintain this support," said Miller.
Tyndall AFB currently runs the new F-22 Raptor student pilot training course
Oregon Airmen train in Finland

KUOPIO, Finland — More than 100 Oregon Air National Guard Airmen from the 173rd Fighter Wing at Kingsley Field, Ore. traveled to Kuopio, Finland for a training opportunity between two partner countries.

The exercise is part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, but differs from other deployments to the region called theater security packages in that it is really a training opportunity between partner nations–Finland and the United States.
The 173rd Fighter Wing is the sole F-15C training unit for the United States Air Force, and its main mission is to introduce Airmen to the F-15C for the first time or requalify pilots from non-flying positions or other airframes. 173rd Fighter Wing Commander Col. Jeff Smith said that expertise proved valuable in this environment.

"At home with our students we use a building block approach beginning with one-verses-one scenarios and progressing to two-verses-two and so on, and that format is how we are conducting this exercise beginning with the smallest block, getting familiar with each other's tactics and working to cross the language barrier," he said. "By the end of next week we'll be training in large force exercises, possibly as many as eight-verses-eight."
Lt. Col. Alaric Michaelis, 173rd FW F-15 instructor pilot, says that in more than 19 years of flying the F-15 this training experience is near the top.

"The fighter pilots from Finland are the best international fighter pilots that I, in my career, have flown with," he said. "It's not just their ability, but their want, their tenacity, and their grit to get better."
Another high point the American pilots are quick to point out is the first-class way the Finns have welcomed them.
"Personally this has been my favorite trip I've ever been on," said Maj. Kevin Welch, an instructor pilot with the 173rd Fighter Wing. "To see the work ethic of the younger guys–to see the intensity of the older guys to help make them better is amazing!"
Over the final week of the training exercise the Finns and the Americans will practice a large scale exercise against the Swedish air force; Welch says it will put to the test everything they have learned in the last 10 days.

Microsoft not Open Sourcing SQL Server but making run-able on GNU/Linux
The popular Microsoft SQL Server will now be available on Linux, revealed the executive vice president of Cloud and Enterprise Group at Microsoft, Scott Guthrie in a blog post today. This can be considered a significant shift from Microsoft's earlier stand on the open-source Linux platform that has even been likened to cancer by ex-CEO Steve Ballmer.
"SQL Server on Linux will provide customers with even more flexibility in their data solution," Guthrie writes. "One with mission-critical performance, industry-leading TCO, best-in-class security, and hybrid cloud innovations — like Stretch Database which lets customers access their data on-premises and in the cloud whenever they want at low cost — all built in."
Under new CEO Satya Nadella, Microsoft is now increasingly reliant on cloud-based services and software subscriptions such as its Office 365 suite. Under the circumstances, to open up SQL Server to Linux makes sense in that about a quarter of all servers running on the Microsoft Azure cloud service are Linux based.
However, Microsoft has also clarified that it is the core features comprising of a relational database of the SQL Server that would be available in the beginning. Further availability of other components will be based on how the current set-up is received and what other components user demand in future. Microsoft further clarified they are not making the SQL Server open source. Instead, the popular server-based database is being adapted to run on the Linux platform.
Microsoft has been pushing for making the Azure cloud compatible with open source software or those from companies other than Microsoft. The move to make SQL Server available on Linux can be considered to be a significant step towards that goal.
However, while the SQL Server has a huge user base among the small and medium companies, it is Oracle that the who's who of world's biggest companies relies on. Further, other open-source databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL are already extremely popular on Linux, which makes one wonder if there would be a significant shift in loyalty towards SQL Server, that too when it is available with only the core capabilities.
Experts though opine that making SQL Server available on Linux could still be profitable for several businesses as this would lure them in to pay for only the SQL Server license without requiring paying for Windows Server as well.

WILLIAM FALOON
Co-Founder Life Extension Buyers Club, Inc. and Society for Rescue of Our Elders (RescueElders.org)
Since 1980, Bill Faloon and The Life Extension Foundation have uncovered pioneering approaches for preventing and treating the diseases of aging.
These avant-garde advances were meticulously chronicled in Life Extension's publications many years before conventional doctors recognized them. In order to enlighten supporters to these life-saving therapies, Bill Faloon compiled a 1500-page medical reference book titled Disease Prevention and Treatment that is now in its 5th printed edition.
To educate the public about Life Extension's innovative medical protocols, Bill Faloon has been featured in hundreds of media appearances including The Phil Donahue Show, The Joan Rivers Show, Tony Brown's Journal, ABC News Day One, and Newsweek magazine. A review of what Bill Faloon and The Life Extension Foundation has accomplished over the past 37 years reveals just how badly conventional medicine lags behind lifesaving scientific advances. Bill Faloon has author authored books exposing the atrocities committed against the American publish by FDA bureaucrats, including Pharmocracy, which reveals how corrupt deals and misguided medical regulations are bankrupting America and what can be done to resolve it. Back in 1980, few scientists believed that anything could be done to prevent the degenerative effects inflicted by aging.
To counter this misconception, William Faloon pointed to then-current scientific studies showing that it was possible to prevent some age-related diseases and to slow the aging process itself, at least in animals. He argued that if enough funds were committed to research, therapies to retard human aging could be developed that would result in the greatest revolution in medical history. Being controversial carries a heavy price. The federal government raided his facilities twice, initiated an 11-year criminal investigation, and threw him and Saul Kent in jail in 1991. When the FDA conducted its first armed raid in 1987, the Life Extension Foundation had only 4,000 members.
Thanks to publicity generated by the FDA's actions, this number grew to 25,000 members by the time his criminal indictments were dismissed in 1995. LEF now has over 300,000 supporters to who its mails its monthly Life Extension Magazine to.Support for the nonprofit Life Extension Foundation is at an all-time high because people are becoming aware that recommendations published by Life Extension in the early 1980s are now scientifically validated and many even accepted by the medical establishment.
Bill Faloon's priority today is accelerating regenerative medicine research projects. Based on published findings in animal models and preliminary findings in people, there may already exist methods to systemically reverse biological aging. Bill Faloon's will provide an update on these rejuvenation initiatives during his Healthy Masters talk on December 2, 2017.

Stella, who is attending Fillmore Central High School this year, is staying with the Eric and Michelle Topness family of rural Preston.
When she learned she had qualified for the foreign exchange program and that she would be attending school in Minnesota, she felt she was lucky, because she really wanted to experience winter.
Nuremburg is located in southeastern Germany, fairly close to Austria. With a population of about a half million, it's considerably larger than either Preston or Harmony. But Stella is settling in nicely. Nuremberg is located in a part of Germany that has rolling topography with a few mountains interspersed in the landscape. Oh yes, and many medieval castles.
"Most of the large mountains are in Austria, but, yes, we do have a lot of castles nearby," she added.
Stella has an older brother, who studied as a foreign exchange student in England last year. So she was quite familiar with the program and what to expect when she applied. Her mother and father are both self-employed photographers.
Stella was active in club volleyball in Germany and played for the FC Falcon volleyball team this fall. Because there are no extra curricular sports in German schools, athletics are outside the school with club teams. So there really aren't a lot of spectators at the matches.
Stella said the first time she suited up for a volleyball match it was quite exciting to see and hear all the cheering fans. She will be trying out for basketball this winter and softball in the spring.
Stella speaks very fluent English and also speaks Latin, beside German, of course. She said she has been taking English classes in Germany for the past four years. She will have two more years of high school left when she returns to Germany next summer and then plans to attend a university and major in art. Drawing and photography will probably be her major studies.
She said Americans are much more friendly than folks living in her native land. "They just come up and say hello and ask how are you. We don't do that so much in Germany," she added.
Stella has accompanied the Topnesses to the Twin Cities a number of times. They toured the Mall of America, took in a Twins game and also a University of Minnesota Gopher volleyball match.
"I would certainly recommend the exchange program to my friends back home. This has been a wonderful experience for me," she said.

In the first half of the twentieth century, the United States Department of Agriculture went to war against the Cattle Fever Tick, a disease carrier causing great economic loss to the southeastern cattle industry. Led by its Bureau of Animal Industry, and various state agricultural agencies, the Department of Agriculture created a tick-killing tsunami that swept across the states of the Old Confederacy and laid waste to the tick. The tactics were heavy-handed and very expensive but ultimately successful.
The last section to be treated, peninsular Florida, was also the most troublesome. The ticks in south Florida proved to be more resilient, resisting the techniques that had rid the other Southern states of the pest. Another host besides cattle was found. Also, one group of people in one area of south Florida refused to cooperate with the campaign: the Seminole Indians on the Big Cypress Indian Reservation.
This caused a bitter inter-agency fight in Washington between the Bureau of Animal Industry, promoting the eradication, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, part of the Department of the Interior, which backed the Indians. This infighting resulted in what might be called the Fourth Seminole War.
Caught in the middle was biologist Roy Komarek, who in the early 1940s tried to conduct a fair test of the tick's status on the reservation. Roy happened to be an accomplished photographer, and with some fine equipment, he caught rare images of a vanished era's culture and activities. Roy's black-and-white negatives were forgotten and misplaced for decades; the photographs have never been published and are virtually unseen by living eyes. They are presented here, augmented with other images, and with a narrative of the tick controversy to put them into context.

The Rock & The Hard Place
by Emily McClain
Alan Tully was convicted of the murder of Janice Beck in 1996 and has been on death row for 23 years, during which time he has maintained his innocence. His daughter Elsie receives a letter from the man who claims to have committed the crime and she attempts to use the information to exonerate her father. The insurmountable challenges of exonerating a wrongly convicted person drive her to the desperate position of threatening a man she believes could help free her father, with disastrous results.

Q: Is it possible to share both text and a photo from Flutter image_picker using flutter_share or another share plugin? Using the flutter_share plugin I can successfully share text from my firestore collections in my Flutter ListView with:
child: IconButton(
icon: Icon(
  Icons.share,
   onPressed: () => Share.share(
   '${(snapshot.data.documents[index]['title'])}',
       ))),

I have now added a new flutter listtile section to the ListView that includes a photo from the image_picker plugin, where users can select a photo from their gallery or take a new photo and append it beneath the firestore data text.
 void _openImagePicker(BuildContext context) {
 showModalBottomSheet(context: context, builder: (BuildContext context) {
   return Container(
     height: 180.0,
     padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
   child: Column(
     children: [
     Text('Choose photo',
       style:TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),),
       SizedBox(height: 10.0),
       FlatButton(
         textColor: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
         child: Text('Use Camera'),
       onPressed: () {
           _getImage(context, ImageSource.camera);
       },),
       FlatButton(
         textColor: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,child:
       Text('Open Gallery'),
         onPressed: () {
           _getImage(context, ImageSource.gallery);
         },),

     ]
   ),);
 });
 }
 @override
 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
 return Column(
   children: <Widget>[
     OutlineButton(
     onPressed: () {
       _openImagePicker(context);
     },
     child:Row(
         mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
         children: <Widget>[
           Icon(Icons.camera_alt),
           SizedBox(
             width:1.0,
           ),
           // Text('Add Image'),
         ]
     ),//Row
 ),//outline button

    SizedBox(height: 10.0),
     _imageFile == null ?  Text('Add an Image') : Image.file(_imageFile,
         fit: BoxFit.cover,
         height: 200.0,
      width: 200.0,
       alignment: Alignment.topCenter,
     ),
   ],
 );}}

My question is, is there a way with either this flutter_share plugin or another plugin to combine both the new image with the original shared firestore text, so users can share both text and the photo combined, instead of just the text? Or is it only possible to send one or another?
The image won't be stored in Firestore, only the text, so the image could be taken with the users camera or uploaded from their gallery, then appended to the shared text.

Formerly the Place d'Armes around which New Orleans was built, Jackson Square, a National Historical Landmark, is now the most prominent location in the "Vieux Carre" or Old Quarter.
On December 18, 1814, Jackson reviewed his troops on this site. He spoke in English to the large crowd; his aide-de-camp, attorney Edward Livingston, translated Jackson's remarks for the primarily French-speaking residents of the city.
On January 13, 1840, Andrew Jackson returned to lay the cornerstone for a "Battle Monument" in the Place d'Armes, commemorating the American victory over the British 25 years earlier at the Battle of New Orleans. Jackson died in 1845, and in 1851 the Place d'Armes was renamed Jackson Square in his honor. Five years later, 60,000 persons attended the unveiling of the sculpture of Jackson atop his horse on February 9, 1856.
The focal point of the square, the Jackson equestrian statue was sculpted by Clark Mills, at a cost of $30,000. Three other identical statues are located in Washington, D.C., Nashville, Tennessee, and Jacksonville, Florida. Many praised the artist for the manner in which he succeeded in balancing such a mass of metal — 20,000 pounds — without any support or prop beneath. In this position, the statue has withstood the storms and hurricanes that have buffeted the city.
Clark Mills, appearing at the dedication, described his statue as depicting General Jackson on horseback as he reviewed his troops on the morning of January 8, 1815 before the battle. The lines have presented arms in salutation to their commander, and Jackson has lifted his plumed hat — the customary manner of returning a salute in those days. His high-spirited horse, aware of the next movement, is making strenuous attempts to dash down the line, but is restrained by the superb horsemanship of its rider. The statue represented Jackson, who "with a handful of men, proved himself the saviour" of New Orleans.
The inscription on the granite base of the monument was cut by General Benjamin Butler's orders during the federal occupation of New Orleans during the Civil War. In 1830, at a celebration for Thomas Jefferson's birthday, President Andrew Jackson had made the following toast: "Our Federal Union: It must be preserved!" In 1862, General Butler changed Jackson's famous statement, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to read: "The Union must and shall be preserved."
Strolling through Jackson Square away from the Mississippi River, one sees the red brick Pontalba Apartment Buildings bordering the left and right of the Square. The buildings were named after Michaela Leonardo Antonie Almonester, Baroness de Pontalba, daughter of Don Andres Almonester y Roxas. In 1845, the Baroness Pontalba began construction of apartment buildings facing Jackson Square and beautification of the gardens to resemble those found in Paris. Jackson Square was to be one of the most beautiful squares in the country. Five years later, in late 1850, the Baroness completed the Pontalba Buildings. If one looks closely, the entwined initials "AP" for Almonester and Pontalba appear on the cast iron balconies. The buildings on the St. Ann Street side of Jackson Square, or the Lower Pontalba Apartments, are owned by the state of Louisiana. The Upper Pontalba Apartments on St. Peter Street are owned by the City of New Orleans. Each building houses 16 four-story townhouses that have commercial tenants on the first floor and apartments on the upper floors. The Lower Pontalba Apartments remain one of the more exclusive addresses in the City of New Orleans.
Baroness de Pontalba (née Micäela Leon Arda Antonia Almonester), Unknown artist, ca. 1835, Oil on canvas: Courtesy of the Collections of the Louisiana State Museum, Gift of Mrs. Emma Hoft Ronstrom. This portrait is currently on exhibit in the Cabildo.

Deep in his heart lived spirits, three.
Dark secrets had this family."
In Where is my Heart? you play the story of a family of forest spirits. Their world gets broken up into fragments which you have to piece back together in your mind. Each of the three characters can transform into a magical creature along the way. The Rainbow Spirit allows you to rotate the world around and jump across space; the Bat King can see hidden platforms which only exist for him; the Antler Ancestor can jump on the stars. Help the three spirits find their home tree again!

A: что же вы молчали, нужно всего лишь на ночь...
запустить новый поток
new Thread(new Runnable() {//новый поток
        public void run() {
                for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
                    M1();
                }
        }
        }).start();
