The rich and booming timber of the pipe organ is comparable to that of an orchestra. However, the instrument's scarcity poses quite a challenge for composers creating new pieces, or for soloists rehearsing with an orchestra; as a result, organ concertos are very few in number. The third concert and grand finale of the Weiwuying International Organ Festival brings performances on a never-before-seen scale, featuring three organ concertos as well as pieces for flute, piano and orchestra in a feast for music lovers.
The three organ concertos to be performed in the concert all use special configurations to accentuate the uniqueness of the organ. These concertos are: Francis POULENC's Concerto for Organ, Timpani and Strings in g minor, the most famous organ concerto; Josef RHEINBERGER's Concerto No. 1 in F Major for Organ and Orchestra, arranged for strings and three French horns; Astor PIAZZOLLA's Aconcagua Concerto rearranged for accordion and orchestra. Additionally, the concert also features César FRANCK's Symphonic Variations for Piano and Orchestra and Ferruccio BUSONI's Divertimento for Flute and Orchestra, both pieces with unique characteristics that are rarely performed in concerts. The event will see five world-class musicians perform on the same stage, along with the Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra, conducted by CHIEN Wen-pin, Artistic Director of National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying). With all the talents involved, this performance is definitely one to look forward to.

Artists Introduction
CHIEN Wen-pin was born in 1967 in Taipei. He received an undergraduate degree from the National Taiwan Academy of Arts and a Master's degree from the University for Music and Performing Arts Vienna. From 1998 to 2004, he was Resident Conductor at Japan's Pacific Music Festival, founded by Leonard BERNSTEIN, and he became Music Director of the National Symphony Orchestra in Taiwan in 2001, where he remained until 2007. In 1996, he began his 22-year career as Kapellmeister of Deutsche Oper am Rhein (Düsseldorf Duisburg, Germany). From 2014 to 2016, CHIEN served as artistic advisor to the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra. In 2014, he was honored with the National Award for Arts. Currently CHIEN is the Executive and Artistic Director of National Performing Arts Center - National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying).
Organ|Hayo BOEREMA
Fostering the organ to be introduced and appreciated by a wider audience, is what inspires Hayo BOEREMA as organist, lecturer and composer. In his musical interpretations, Hayo is always motivated to look for contrast and color in compositions of both established and contemporary composers to involve a traditional classical music audience as well as a more experimentally curious audience. Hayo's repertoire stretches a long time period. It includes SWEELINCK and BACH as well as more contemporary composers, with a particular interest for Olivier MESSIAEN and French organ music from the 20th century.
As a performer, Hayo often joins forces with choirs and orchestras. Additionally, he is regularly commissioned to compose. One of his major compositions, his Solemn Mass (Messe Solennelle), a composition for organ, choir, vocal soloist and percussion, was recorded recently and received with wide acclaim.
In addition to his performances, Hayo is professor of Organ at Codarts Conservatory at Rotterdam. He gives master classes in interpretation and improvisation internationally. Also, he is welcomed as a jury member at various international organ competitions.
Organ|Aart BERGWERFF
Aart BERGWERFF is a driven and versatile musician. He likes exciting and adventurous concert
programming. On the one hand Aart has a great passion for the classical repertoire and on the other hand he likes to find new ways and forms in organ culture. Thus, he regularly co-operates with video artist Jaap DRUPSTEEN. Together with the Turkish derwish dancer Kadir SONUK he created the performance East meets West, to the music of Canto Ostinato by Simeon TEN HOLT. Another example is the production Mi Corazõn, in which organ and tango dance meet.
Aart is a teacher at the Rotterdams Conservatorium, part of Codarts Hogeschool voor de Kunsten. Aart BERGWERFF studied organ, choral conducting and church music at the Rotterdams Conservatorium. He continued his organ study in Paris with Marie-Claire ALAIN and in North Germany with Harald VOGEL. He concluded his study in Paris and obtained the Prix de Virtuosité. In 2003 he was awarded the silver medal of the Société Académique "Arts, Science et Lettres" because of his merits for the French organ culture.
Organ|Christian SCHMITT
Christian SCHMITT performs regularly with well-known conductors and soloists including Sir Simon RATTLE, Phillipe HERREWEGHE, Jakub HRŮŠA, Marek JANOWSKI, Manfred HONECK, Magdalena KOŽENA, Martin GRUBINGER, Juliane BANSE or Michael VOLLE. He has performed in renowned venues including Philharmonie Berlin, Konzerthaus Berlin, Musikverein Vienna, and Kölner Philharmonie. As an organ virtuoso, he is undoubtedly one of the most charismatic and internationally sought-after concert organists and chamber music partners of today.
Christian SCHMITT's great passion is the extensive romantic organ repertoire, yet his artistic spectrum goes far beyond that. He has given concerts on many of the historic organs of Europe and also devotes himself to contemporary repertoire. Christian SCHMITT serves as organ consultant for the restoration and reconstruction of organs, a.o. Berlin, Zurich, Lucerne and Brno. He is a member of numerous international music competition juries.
Once called the "Paganini of the flute" by a critic, OPUS KLASSIK winner Tatjana RUHLAND has numbered among the most acclaimed performers of her instrument at least since her Carnegie Hall début. In December 2018, she performed DEBUSSY's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune with the Berlin Philharmonic, described as "a fabulous faun" by Berlin's leading newspaper and highly acclaimed by the audience. Being the solo flutist of the SWR Symphony Orchestra (chief conductor Teodor CURRENTZIS) since 2000, she is a frequent guest in other radio, opera and symphony orchestras.
Tatjana RUHLAND was born in Regensburg and received her training in Munich, New York and Siena. Besides winning first prizes at the German University Competition and the Prague Spring International Competition (1996), she is a laureate of the prestigious Kobe International Flute Competition (Japan, 1997) and the East&West International Auditions (New York, 1999) and has held a scholarship from the German Music Competition.
Joseph MOOG's ability to combine exquisite technical skill with a mature and intelligent musicality set him apart as a pianist of exceptional diversity. A champion of the well-known masterworks as well as a true advocate of rare and forgotten repertoire paired with his quality to compose and arrange, Joseph was awarded the accolade of Gramophone Young Artist of the Year 2015 and was also nominated for the GRAMMY in 2016.
Joseph has an extensive discography and has received countless awards for his recordings, as well as outstanding critiques from the international press: November 2017 saw the release of his eleventh CD featuring BRAHMS' Piano Concerto No. 2 and STRAUSS' Burleske which was nominated for the 2018 ICMA Awards. It was followed by his recording of DEBUSSY's complete Etudes and RAVEL's Gaspard de la Nuit released in November 2018 which was rated 5 Diapasons in France among many other rave reviews. His much-anticipated album Heaven and Hell of LISZT's Sonatas & Legends will be released in October 2019.
Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra
The Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1981. It was merged with the Kaohsiung Chinese Orchestra in 2009 as "Kaohsiung Philharmonic Culture and Arts Foundation." In 2012, the orchestra officially moved into Dadong Arts Center, where it has a more exclusive and stable rehearsal space. The end of 2018 marked the grand opening of the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying), where the KSO participated in the center's inauguration. It is our hope that he orchestra will play a more important role in the center's vineyard style concert hall, which is the only one of its kind in Taiwan.
The KSO has been invited to perform on international stages in the USA, Macao, Nanking, Shanghai, Qingdao, Suzhou, Singapore and Beijing. In 2017, the KSO was invited to the BEETHOVEN-themed Spring Green Music Festival in Kanazawa, Japan, as well as Hong Kong's 2017 Taiwan Culture Festival. With the self-development goal of becoming an internationally acclaimed orchestra, the KSO has gradually reached beyond city and country borders.

I began 2007 following a periodised training plan, imaginatively titled "Pete Plan 2007", or PP07. This training plan began with a 12 week phase aiming at a 5k test, which turned out to be very successful for my test group following the plan. This page gives you the full 12 weeks of sessions leading up to that 5k test, which I present here as a standalone 3 month training plan for anyone wanting to do something a little different, or specifically aiming for a 5k (or 6k) erg test.
I will begin by describing the structure of the plan, and explain the sessions, and then present the plan itself. If you want specific pacing advice then you can get the same level of coaching available from the normal Pete Plan coaching for the same £20 / month, ie £60 for coaching advice for this full 3month training programme.
Also if you scroll down below this you will find a "light" version of this 5k training plan, with only 3 session per week, and less duration per session.
Steady distance work: I say 10k+ for the distance of these sessions, but in reality anything from 20mins in duration is beneficial as aerobic work.
Short duration, short rest intervals: The intervals with 1min rest between them run in a sequence from 500's to 750's to 1k's. The idea is to go through a 3 week rotation as the rep get longer keeping the same pace, and then when you begin the next 3 weeks go slightly faster (anywhere from a tenth faster to a second faster).
Longer duration, longer rest intervals: The intervals with 4min rest again fit into a 3 week rotation with increasing rep distance. You should aim again on these to keep the same pace as the reps get longer over a 3 week rotation, but going a few tenths slower is fine. When the next rotation starts aim to beat the pace of the start of the last rotation (each rep in a subsequent rotation is slightly longer).
3 x 2k: The 4th type of session changes between a 3 x 2k and a harder distance piece. The 3 x 2k without any explanation would look very similar to the 4min rest rep sessions, and you would pace it accordingly. That is not the idea behind this session, however. This session is a focussed 2k piece, with a fixed warm up and warm down. As such the first and last 2k of the session should be done at the pace of your slower steady distance pieces. The middle 2k is then essentially a sub maximal 2k test. These 2k tests are to gain experience of pacing individual 2k's, and should be done with a specific plan each time. This could be a pacing plan, such as negative splits, fast – slow – fast, or with a restricted stroke rate, or as a single pace across the entire 2k. They don't have to be flat out, but should be the fastest workout you do during this 12 week plan.

Il Patto dei Sindaci (in inglese Covenant of Mayors) è un'iniziativa della Commissione Europea lanciata nel 2008 per riunire in una rete permanente le città che intendono avviare un insieme coordinato di iniziative per la lotta ai cambiamenti climatici; è il principale movimento europeo che vede coinvolte le autorità locali e regionali che si impegnano volontariamente ad aumentare l'efficienza energetica e l'utilizzo di fonti energetiche rinnovabili nei loro territori. Attraverso il loro impegno i firmatari del Patto intendono raggiungere e superare l'obiettivo europeo di riduzione del 40% delle emissioni di anidride carbonica entro il 2030. Un tema che sta assumendo sempre più importanza, all'interno della campagna Patto dei Sindaci per il Clima e l'Energia, è quello della povertà energetica che affronta le disparità di accesso all'energia da parte della popolazione.

Gli obiettivi ed il campo di azione dell'iniziativa si sono progressivamente estesi nel corso del tempo. Nel 2015, dopo la fusione con l'iniziativa gemella Mayors Adapt, ha avuto avvio il nuovo Patto dei Sindaci per il Clima & l'Energia, agli obiettivi di mitigazione si sono aggiunti quelli nell'ambito dell'adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici. Nel 2016, l'iniziativa europea si è unita al Compact of Mayors, dando vita al Patto Globale dei Sindaci per il Clima & l'Energia, il più grande movimento di enti locali impegnati sul cambiamento climatico. Ad oggi il Patto riunisce più di 10.000 aderenti, provenienti da 53 Paesi, coinvolgendo circa 300 milioni di persone.

I firmatari del Patto assumono l'impegno di raggiungere e superare gli obiettivi dei propri Paesi su clima ed energia (per l'Europa la riduzione delle emissioni di gas serra di almeno il 40% entro il 2030), adottando un approccio integrato per la mitigazione e l'adattamento al cambiamento climatico.

Per le sue singolari caratteristiche – essendo l'unico movimento di questo genere a mobilitare gli attori locali e regionali ai fini del perseguimento degli obiettivi dell'Unione europea – il Patto dei sindaci è considerato dalle istituzioni europee come un eccezionale modello di governance multilivello.

Firmatari del Patto dei Sindaci
Gli enti locali europei di tutte le dimensioni - dai piccoli comuni alle capitali, alle grandi aree metropolitane - hanno i requisiti per aderire al Patto dei Sindaci.. Le autorità locali, però, sono i destinatari dell'impegno assunto dalla loro comunità nel raggiungimento degli obiettivi prefissati dalla comunità europea (pacchetto clima).  Le piccole e grandi città insieme alle altre aree urbane svolgono un ruolo decisivo nella mitigazione del cambiamento climatico, in quanto esse consumano i tre quarti dell'energia prodotta nell'UE e sono responsabili di una quota equivalente di emissioni di CO2. Gli enti locali si trovano anche nella posizione ideale per cambiare i comportamenti dei cittadini e affrontare le questioni legate a clima ed energia in maniera esaustiva, conciliando in particolare gli interessi pubblici e privati e l'integrazione delle questioni riguardanti l'energia sostenibile in obiettivi complessivi di sviluppo locale.

L'adesione al Patto dei Sindaci rappresenta un'opportunità per gli enti locali di consolidare gli sforzi di riduzione di CO2 messi in campo sul territorio, beneficiare del sostegno e del riconoscimento europeo, e scambiare esperienze con le controparti europee.

Impegni formali
Le città firmatarie s'impegnano a sostenere l'attuazione dell'obiettivo comunitario di riduzione del 40% dei gas a effetto serra entro il 2030 mediante una migliore efficienza energetica e un maggiore impiego di fonti di energia rinnovabili, e l'adozione di un approccio comune per affrontare la mitigazione e l'adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici.

Al fine di tradurre il loro impegno politico in misure e progetti pratici, i Firmatari del Patto s'impegnano a presentare, entro due anni dalla data della decisione del consiglio locale un Piano d'Azione per l'Energia Sostenibile e il Clima (PAESC) che indichi le azioni chiave che intendono intraprendere. Il piano conterrà un Inventario di Base delle Emissioni per monitorare le azioni di mitigazione e la Valutazione di Vulnerabilità e Rischi Climatici.

La strategia di adattamento può essere parte del PAESC oppure essere sviluppata e integrata in un documento di pianificazione separato.

Questo audace impegno politico segna l'inizio di un processo di lungo termine che vede le città impegnate a riferire ogni anno sui progressi dei loro piani.

L'ambito del Patto dei Sindaci va ben oltre la mera dichiarazione di intenti. Nell'intento di raggiungere gli ambiziosi obiettivi di riduzione di CO2 stabiliti, i firmatari si impegnano a favore di una serie di passi e accettano di presentare rapporti e di essere monitorati sulle loro azioni. Entro tempi prestabiliti, si impegnano formalmente a perseguire quanto segue:

 Sviluppare adeguate strutture amministrative, tra cui l'allocazione di risorse umane sufficienti, allo scopo di intraprendere le azioni necessarie;
 Preparare un Inventario di Base delle Emissioni;
 Inviare un Piano d'Azione per l'Energia Sostenibile entro due anni alla data di adesione ufficiale all'iniziativa del Patto dei Sindaci, comprendente misure concrete per il raggiungimento dell'obiettivo minimo del 40% in termini di riduzione delle emissioni di CO2 entro il 2030;
 Inviare un rapporto di monitoraggio e attuazione almeno ogni due anni dalla data di presentazione del PAESC ai fini di valutazione, monitoraggio e verifica.

Per soddisfare l'esigenza fondamentale, ovvero mobilitare gli attori interessati locali allo sviluppo di Piani d'azione per l'energia sostenibile, i firmatari si impegnano inoltre a:

 accrescere la resilienza adattandosi agli effetti del cambiamento climatico.
 Mettere in comune la visione, i risultati, l'esperienza e il know-how con le altre autorità locali e regionali dell'UE e oltre i confini dell'Unione attraverso la cooperazione diretta e lo scambio inter pares, in particolare nell'ambito del patto globale dei Sindaci.
 Organizzare le Giornate locali per l'energia al fine di sensibilizzare i cittadini sul tema dello sviluppo sostenibile e dell'efficienza energetica;
 Partecipare o contribuire alla cerimonia annuale del Patto dei Sindaci, ai workshop tematici e agli incontri dei gruppi di discussione;
 Diffondere il messaggio del Patto all'interno di forum appropriati e, in particolare, esortare gli altri sindaci ad aderire al Patto.

I Sindaci condividono la visione per un futuro sostenibile, a prescindere dalle dimensioni del comune o dalla sua ubicazione geografica. Tale visione comune anima la loro azione volta ad affrontare le sfide interconnesse: mitigazione degli effetti conseguenti al cambiamento climatico, adattamento ed energia sostenibile. Insieme adottano misure concrete a lungo termine che forniscano un contesto stabile dal punto di vista ambientale, sociale ed economico per le generazioni presenti e per quelle future.

Questa visione mira a conseguire:

 territori decarbonizzati, contribuendo così a contenere l'incremento della temperatura globale ben al di sotto di + 2 °C al di sopra dei livelli preindustriali, in linea con l'accordo internazionale sul clima raggiunto alla conferenza COP 21 tenutasi a Parigi nel dicembre 2015;
 territori più resilienti per prepararsi agli inevitabili effetti negativi del cambiamento climatico;
 accesso universale a servizi energetici sicuri, sostenibili e alla portata di tutti, migliorando così la qualità della vita e la sicurezza energetica.

I Sindaci riconoscono che il loro impegno richiede:

 una forte leadership politica;
 la definizione di ambiziosi obiettivi a lungo termine che vadano oltre i mandati politici;
 un'(inter)azione coordinata tra mitigazione e adattamento attraverso la mobilitazione di tutti gli uffici comunali interessati;
 un approccio territoriale intersettoriale e olistico;
 l'allocazione di risorse umane, tecniche e finanziarie adeguate;
 l'impegno di tutti i soggetti interessati presenti nei nostri territori;
 la trasformazione dei cittadini, in quanto consumatori fondamentali di energia, in "prosumer" (prosumatori) e soggetti attivi in un sistema energetico che gestisca la domanda;
 un'azione immediata, in particolare attraverso misure flessibili e "senza rimpianti";
 l'attuazione di soluzioni intelligenti per affrontare le sfide tecniche e sociali della transizione energetica;
 adeguamenti periodici delle azioni in base ai risultati delle attività di monitoraggio e valutazione;
 una cooperazione combinata verticale e orizzontale tra le autorità locali e tutti gli altri livelli di governo.

Piani d'Azione per l'Energia Sostenibile e il Clima - PAESC
I firmatari devono approvare, entro due anni dalla deliberazione del Consiglio Comunale, un Piano d'Azione per l'energia sostenibile e il clima (PAESC), contenente l'insieme coordinato di azioni che intendono porre in atto.

La progettazione delle azioni deve essere basata per la parte mitigazione su un inventario base delle emissioni (IBE) che permetta di calcolare le emissioni del territorio comunale nell'anno di riferimento (baseline) e per la parte adattamento su una valutazione dei rischi e delle vulnerabilità indotti dal cambiamento climatico.

In entrambi i casi devono essere presi in esame dei "settori chiave" considerati strategici per l'elaborazione delle azioni: nel caso della mitigazione si tratta dei settori residenziale, terziario, municipale e trasporti; nel caso dell'adattamento i settori edifici, trasporti, energia, acqua, rifiuti, gestione del territorio, ambiente & biodiversità, agricoltura & silvicoltura, salute, protezione civile & emergenza, turismo (all'elenco possono essere aggiunti altri settori rilevanti per il territorio di riferimento). Per soddisfare i requisiti minimi di ammissibilità del PAESC l'inventario deve coprire almeno tre dei quattro settori chiave e le azioni di mitigazione devono coprire almeno due settori.

Gli altri requisiti minimi sono legati all'approvazione del Piano da parte del Consiglio Comunale e all'assunzione formale di impegni sia per l'adattamento che per la mitigazione (almeno il 40% di riduzione delle emissioni di CO2 entro il 2030).

Il Piano deve essere redatto con la partecipazione delle società civile e deve essere corredato da strumenti di monitoraggio e verifica dei risultati.

La relazione di attuazione deve essere presentata due anni dopo l'approvazione del PAESC. Ogni quattro anni la relazione deve contenere anche un Inventario di Monitoraggio delle Emissioni.

Un riferimento importante per la redazione dei Piani è dato dalle Linee guida redatte dal Centro Comune di Ricerca della Commissione Europea (CCR/JRC) che forniscono una metodologia utile per la loro redazione e per il monitoraggio dei risultati.

Sostegno e coordinamento

Coordinatori e sostenitori del Patto
I firmatari del Patto non sempre dispongono degli adeguati strumenti e risorse per preparare un inventario delle emissioni di base, redigere la versione preliminare del Piano d'azione per l'energia sostenibile e finanziare le azioni previste dallo stesso. In quest'ottica, province, regioni, reti e raggruppamenti di comuni svolgono un ruolo decisivo nell'aiutare i firmatari a tener fede ai loro impegni.

I coordinatori del Patto sono autorità pubbliche appartenenti a livelli di governo differenti (nazionali, regionali, provinciali) che forniscono consulenza strategica ai firmatari, nonché assistenza tecnico-finanziaria per lo sviluppo e l'attuazione dei Piani d'azione per l'energia sostenibile. La Commissione distingue tra coordinatori territoriali, rappresentati dalle autorità decentralizzate subnazionali (ivi comprese le province, le regioni e i raggruppamenti pubblici dei comuni), e i coordinatori nazionali, rappresentati dagli organismi pubblici nazionali (ivi comprese le agenzie per l'energia nazionali e i ministeri dell'energia).

I sostenitori del Patto sono reti europee, nazionali e regionali nonché associazioni di enti locali che utilizzano al meglio le loro attività di contatti, comunicazione e lobbying per promuovere l'iniziativa del Patto dei sindaci e sostenere gli impegni dei firmatari.

Ufficio del Patto dei Sindaci
L'assistenza a carattere amministrativo, tecnico e promozionale è fornita ai firmatari del Patto e agli attori interessati, su base giornaliera, dall'Ufficio del Patto dei sindaci (CoMO), gestito da un consorzio di reti di autorità locali e regionali, guidato da Energy Cities e composto da CCRE, Climate Alliance, Eurocities e Fedarene. Finanziato dalla Commissione europea, il CoMO è responsabile del coordinamento generale dell'iniziativa.

Istituzioni dell'Unione
Per sostenere l'elaborazione e l'attuazione dei Piani d'azione per l'energia sostenibile dei firmatari, la Commissione europea ha contribuito allo sviluppo di strumenti finanziari rivolti in modo particolare ai firmatari del Patto. Tra essi, lo strumento ELENA (European Local Energy Assistance), istituito in collaborazione con la Banca europea degli investimenti per progetti su larga scala; ed ELENA-KfW. Quest'ultimo, istituito in partenariato con il gruppo tedesco KfW, offre un approccio integrativo per la mobilità degli investimenti sostenibili dei comuni di piccole e medie dimensioni.

I firmatari beneficiano del totale sostegno delle istituzioni, non soltanto della Commissione europea ma anche del Comitato delle regioni, che ha offerto, sin dai suoi esordi, il proprio supporto all'iniziativa; del Parlamento europeo, che ha ospitato le prime due cerimonie della firma e della Banca europea degli investimenti, che assiste gli enti locali a sbloccare il proprio potenziale di investimento.

Centro comune di ricerca
Il Centro comune di ricerca della Commissione europea si occupa di offrire supporto tecnico-scientifico all'iniziativa. Lavora in stretta collaborazione con l'Ufficio del Patto dei sindaci per fornire ai firmatari chiare linee guida tecniche e modelli per garantire gli impegni assunti dal Patto dei sindaci e per monitorare l'attuazione e i risultati.

Gray Fox Squirrel
(Sciurus niger niger)
Fox squirrels are closely related to gray squirrels and are considered to be the most variably colored tree squirrels in the world. In South Carolina, fox squirrels occur and are characterized as the gray, black , or brown color phase based on their predominate body color. The gray color phase is by far the most common in South Carolina, accounting for 74% of all sightings in the 2014 Fox Squirrel Sighting Survey conducted by the SCDNR Small Game Program. Sightings of black fox squirrels accounted for 24% of all sightings, with only 2% of all sightings reported as brown. A black facial "mask" and white patches on the nose, paws, and ear tips are common in all three color phases. This facial mask and the significantly larger body size of the fox squirrel distinguish the fox squirrel from the more common and widely-distributed gray squirrel.
Fox squirrels are approximately twice the size of gray squirrels. They range in length from 20-26 inches (including tail) with an adult weight range from about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds.
Fox squirrels that survive to become adults live an average of 3 to 4 years. Individual animals have been known to live as long as 12 years.
Preferred Habitat
In South Carolina, fox squirrels are strongly associated with mature pine forests and mature pine-hardwood forests. Fox squirrels prefer woodland habitats with an open herbaceous understory and patchy shrub cover. Prescribed fire in pine woodlands benefits fox squirrels by creating and maintaining this condition. Where present, forest stands dominated by live oak can be a seasonally important habitat type. Small agricultural fields and wildlife food plots are often utilized when located within the normal home range of fox squirrels. Parks and golf courses may also support substantial numbers of fox squirrels in certain locations across the state.
Fox squirrel populations in South Carolina are scattered throughout the Coastal Plain, occur less often in the Piedmont, and are rare to absent in the Blue Ridge. Distribution and range expansion are limited by availability of suitable habitat.
Food Habits
Fox squirrels are opportunistic feeders known to consume a variety of food items.
Diet will vary somewhat depending on season and local food item availability.
Common food items for fox squirrels include pine seed, acorns, hickory nuts, cultivated and native seeds, fleshy fruits, flower buds, tubers, roots, and fungi.
Bird eggs and insects are occasionally consumed by fox squirrels.
Peak Breeding Activity
While fox squirrels may exhibit two peaks of breeding – late winter and late summer, the majority of breeding in fox squirrels likely takes place in December and January. Gestation period is about 44 days, with most young born during February and March. Normal litters in South Carolina consist of two or three young.
Fox squirrels are occasionally observed at bird feeders if those feeders are near areas of occupied fox squirrel habitat.
Some of the better areas to observe fox squirrels in South Carolina include the Webb Wildlife Center in Hampton County, Donnelley Wildlife Management Area in Colleton County, and Cheraw State Park in Chesterfield County.
The fox squirrels large body size and black coloration may be adaptations to living in a fire-maintained longleaf pine ecosystem. The large body size of fox squirrels allows them to handle and manipulate longleaf pine cones; black coloration provides camouflage in a fire-blackened landscape.

SCDNR Fox Squirrel Sighting Surveys
Hunting Information
Fox squirrels are considered a game animal in South Carolina and may be hunted along with gray squirrels. Squirrel season annually in South Carolina opens on October 1 and closes on March 1. Fox squirrels have trophy value to many squirrel hunters and are prized as taxidermy mounts. Due to the lower reproductive potential of fox squirrels as compared to gray squirrels, fox squirrel populations can be severely depressed by heavy gunning pressure.
Hunters are advised that fox squirrel hunting is not allowed on many properties in the Wildlife Management Area (WMA) program and are advised to consult the current version of the SCDNR Rules and Regulations for information on specific properties.

Q: Python; TypeError: 'str' object is not callable So basically I don't understand why my code is giving me this error, I tried looking it up, but I do not understand the error or how it affects me. This is my code for a simple shop simulator.
isBuying = True

#Create a map for our store's inventory. Each item in our store will have a string name and a floating point number for its price.
store = [('arrows', 20.00), ('bombs', 40.00), ('heart container', 120.00),
         ('sword', 100.00), ('potion', 15.00)]

#Define a function to print out the store's inventory. This function will take in an inventory.
def PrintStore(inventory):
  #For every item in the inventory, it will print out the item name and price in our formatted way.
  for item in inventory:
    print(' ' * 4 + item[0] + '.' * 3 + ' ' * 4 + str(item[1]))

while isBuying:
  #Use our function to print out our store's inventory.
  PrintStore(store)
  #Ask the user what they would like to buy and store the input in a variable. Lowercase it to prevent case sensitivity.
  input = input('What would you like to buy?\n')
  input = input.lower()

  #For every item in our store, check to see if our input is equal to the item's name. If it is, print out the item's price.
  for item in store:
    if input == item[0]:
      print(f'That will be {item[1]} dollars.')

  answer = input('Would you like to continue shopping?\n')
  answer = answer.lower()

  if answer == 'n' or 'no':
    isBuying = False

The error is on line answer = input('Would you like to continue shopping?\n') and the error is TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

A: You redefine the input builtin function
input = input('What would you like to buy?\n')

and now it's just a string. After that you call the input
answer = input('Would you like to continue shopping?\n')

but it is just a string (str) not a function. This is why you shouldn't use builtin functions as variable names.

Column by Weebies, posted on February 16, 2005
We hear a lot about democracy today. Most politicians and their statist sycophants pontificate about the benefits of democracy. On the other end of the spectrum, many free market anarchists rail against the evils of democracy. What is the truth about democracy, which some love and claim to be the salvation of civilization, and others love to hate, and claim to be a curse of mankind? Has the institution of democracy been fairly represented, or has it been politicized and subverted to represent something opposite of its actual intent? More importantly, does democracy and anarchy have any common ground?
One of the problems with democracy as a term is that it has several varying 'official' definitions, and many more unofficial definitions. The Merriam-Webster Online dictionary has many definitions for democracy, but the one I want to focus on is 'a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections' (emphasis mine). Also, contrast this to the definition of pure democracy: 'democracy in which the power is exercised directly by the people rather than through representatives.' Given these definitions, even the staunchest anarchist might pause to reflect if the basic concept of democracy doesn't deserve further inspection.
Probably the most commonly accepted unofficial definition of democracy is 'one person, one vote.' One has to wonder where such a definition came from. In most definitions of democracy, voting is not mentioned. Where it is mentioned, like in the one I chose, it is not a requirement, only a usual occurrence. Only in the fevered imagination of statists can one find that democracy equates to voting and elections. In a truly Orwellian twist, people have confused the freedom to select tyrants and become absolute slaves to the will of the tyrants as a sign of freedom and democracy. In truth, the opposite happens with voting and elections ' the supreme power is wrested from individuals, and invested in representatives. These representatives can then ignore the will of individuals and groups, both majority and minority, and cater to the special interest groups that they really represent. Voting and elections are a sham to steal power from the individual, to cloak the results in the empty skeleton of democracy, having the outward form, but lacking the inner essence. Sadly, most fully embrace this charade and gladly accept their own slavery. It would do well for people to heed the words of one of the leading luminaries of the late 18th and early 19th Centuries, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, when he noted: 'None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.'
The founders of America held scorn for democracy, and never intended that American government be a democracy, but a constitutional republic. They seemed to share the same views that most detractors of democracy hold, that democracy is mob rule, has no respect for individual or property rights, and is a license to plunder. The way that people use the term democracy today does seem to confirm this, except in one important area. Though people often use the term mob rule, to be more exact, it is mob selection. The rulers selected by the mobs are under no compunction to follow the whims of the masses, secretly promote shadowy agendas that are against the interests of most citizens, and often openly defy the wishes of the majority, while paying lip service to being servants of the people. Democracy has been subverted by voteocracy, where the only right and freedom a citizen enjoys is the right to vote, and where the supreme power is vested in the state and exercised by the state.
Alexander Fraser Tytler made this interesting observation about democracy in 1776: 'A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. [Tytler describes the life cycle of civilization as from Bondage to Spiritual Faith to Great Courage to Liberty to Abundance to Selfishness to Complacency to Apathy to Dependency and back into Bondage.]' There are several significant points about Tytler's remark. One is that voting is the means to enslaving the populace. Another is that it happens when people lose their respect for the individual and individual property rights, and surrender their supreme power to a criminal class of parasites called politicians who promise them free wealth and benefits. For Americans, the warning about loose fiscal policy is especially poignant. With Greenspan and the Fed following a policy of printing fiat money at will, with no regard for budgets or deficits by government officials, and an inability to pay current debt obligations without borrowing more money, most Americans should realize that the US government is technically bankrupt and financially insolvent. That most Americans and their parasitic politicians are completely ignorant of this fact, and have complete faith in the fantasy of US fiscal policy, is a sad commentary on the average American, and confirms that most people are ignorant of the basic principle of TANSTAAFL.
While the preceding thoughts may be viewed as an unmitigated condemnation of democracy, it is probably fairer to characterize it as how easily democracy can be subverted when people abandon their supreme power to unscrupulous politicians. One need only look at Switzerland , and its version of direct democracy, to realize that it is not necessarily democracy, but people abdicating their responsibility, that is the real problem with most democracies. In many respects, Switzerland appears to be the federal republic with autonomous states (cantons) that the US was supposed to embody. The Swiss have a strict foreign policy of non-interventionism, the exact same foreign policy the US used to adhere to, and do not suffer from the self-inflicted sorrows of empire and terrorism that Americans do. Libertarians have long noted how Switzerland embodies the concepts of individualism, individual rights and responsibilities, and self defense that are all hallmarks of freedom loving societies. The major difference between Swiss democracy and US democracy (and all other forms of democracy) is that the Swiss have not completely abandoned their supreme power to elected representatives, but retained that power for each citizen.
In truth, democracy and anarchy should be complementary ideas. Only by having the supreme power vested in each individual and exercised by each person can democracy and anarchy be fully realized. Instead of the inane statist maxim of 'one person, one vote,' it should be 'one person, one government.' Individual sovereignty is the only true logical outcome for both democracy and anarchy, and the only path to liberty. But for this to work, people will need to grow up, accept responsibility for their own lives, quit meddling in other people's affairs that are none of their business, and learn to live by voluntary association and trade. People need to reject the collectivist mindset of the state, disavow any right of the state to use force and coercion, and stop abdicating their sovereignty to the state.
All this shows how easily words and ideas are subverted by the state, and how the state portrays them in a manner that is contradictory to their original intent. When Bush and his criminal cronies expound on the benefits of democracy, freedom, liberty, the rule of law, fighting terrorism, and the free market, one sees that they are using these terms as superficial gloss to hide their criminal activities and mayhem ' what they really mean is that they want to use force and coercion, the power of the state, to impose their will on anyone at any time they choose. And not only has the state subverted words and ideas, it has also subverted whole institutions, the mainstream media and public education, to indoctrinate people into accepting the lies and propaganda of the state. While Americans are not really stupid as many would have you believe, as a whole they are extremely gullible and ignorant, and this seems to be by the design of the state and its institutions. These are severe limitations to possess, and are inimical to the exercise of liberty. Americans need to listen to the words of Jefferson when he said: 'If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.'
The basic principle of democracy, of self rule, is sound and in accordance with the principles of anarchy. The state has subverted the concept of democracy to enslave people to the dictates of the state and its rulers. As practiced by most democratic states, it is just a sham that allows an elite oligarchy to maintain control of the state while maintaining the appearance of popular rule. People need to realize that the state is the greatest threat to their freedom, peace, and happiness. Only by rejecting the state, and the use of force and coercion to interact with their fellow humans, and embracing voluntary association and trade, can people actually enjoy the benefits of democracy that they clamor for.

A HOUSE FOR ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER
It has been said that a pessimist is an optimist who knows better.
It was also said that Schopenhauer's philosophy was a pessimist one.
We wonder…!?!
What is pessimism…????????
What is optimism…??????????
Sometimes the "optimism" that is trumpeted to us by the media has such an exasperating emptiness that we would gladly trade it for the darkest pessimism.
Indeed, isn't pessimism fuller, truer, more enriching and even more encouraging, actually, to continue to live…???
Paradoxically perhaps we find more hope in the fruitful descending than in the frivolous and futile "ascending" towards a light that is simply not there.
All religions, actually, encourage this fruitful "descending" that spirituality in its very essence is… a "descending" that culminates in its opposite: true ascension!
That pain is unavoidable in this life is not at all a secret. And not even paradoxes like the one Leonardo da Vinci expressed when he stated that Pain and Pleasure are twins can console us in our endless attempt to find peace, harmony, happiness.
It is our belief that this is what Schopenhauer himself searched for, but from the position of "the optimist who knows better."
Descend, dear architect, descend into pessimism, if the so-called ideology of "being happy" brings you quite often on the verge of despair…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Descend, together with Schopenhauer, and explore the riches to be found "at the bottom," as opposed to the glittering emptiness "at the top."
Design A HOUSE FOR ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER, much more enriching than the empty "fullness" at the top.
You could envision this house being located in Frankfurt, where he lived his last 27 years, or in Berlin, where he studied, or in Dansk where he was born, or in Weimar, where he lived at the time when Goethe was still alive.
Please send us ANY work, ANY size and ANY format that responds to the theme to info@icarch.us. We will publish all the works received on our website, www.icarch.us. The registration deadline is December 31st, 2010. The deadline for submitting your work is December 31st, 2010. This competition is our homage to Schopenhauer, who died 150 years ago, on September 21st, 1860. If you have any questions please be kind and contact us.

Miami Hurricanes men's basketball preview: Player-by-player breakdown
By David Furones
South Florida Sun Sentinel |
Miami Hurricanes men's basketball is set to return on Sunday evening, a 6 p.m. tip at Watsco Center against North Florida.
Here is a player-by-player look at the UM roster, composed of a solid combination of experienced seniors and upstart underclassmen in a season that the Hurricanes were picked to finish seventh in a tough Atlantic Coast Conference.

0 Chris Lykes, Sr. G, 5-7, 160: Lykes was a preseason All-ACC first-team selection after a junior campaign in which he averaged 15.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals. Last year's leading scorer came off offseason knee surgery, and coach Jim Larrañaga has been pleased with the way he returned to practice.
1 Anthony Walker, So. F, 6-9, 210: He is one of the forwards that will be in the mix to replace the minutes injured redshirt senior Sam Waardenburg would've played. An athletic 6-foot-9, Walker averaged 12.3 minutes in his 25 games played, pitching in 3.3 points and 2.1 rebounds per contest.

2 Isaiah Wong, So. G, 6-3, 180: Wong got about 20 pounds stronger this offseason after he averaged 14.2 points over the final 13 games last season. Larrañaga likes Wong's ability to play both point guard and shooting guard and noted he has improved his 3-point shooting significantly in the offseason. If Wong can take another leap like he did midseason as a freshman, he'll be dangerous as part of a loaded backcourt.

3 Nysier Brooks, R-Sr. C, 7-0, 240: The Cincinnati transfer will provide the presence in the paint this team needed after he sat out last season due to transfer rules. The Philadelphia native is a vocal leader and is eager to produce for the Hurricanes after starting 35 games and averaging 8.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game last time he played as a junior at Cincinnati in 2018-19.
4 Elijah Olaniyi, Sr. G, 6-5, 205: Transferring from Stony Brook, Olaniyi will sit out this season and be prepared to be a veteran in the backcourt for the 2021-22 season.
5 Harlond Beverly, So. G, 6-5, 185: Larrañaga said Beverly has made vast improvements defensively, and he should continue to contribute as a sophomore after playing in all 31 games last season, averaging 7.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 19.9 minutes.
RELATED: UM basketball team prepares for unique season under COVID protocols »
10 Filippos Gkogkos, So. G, 6-3, 193: A walk-on guard.
13 Earl Timberlake, Fr. G, 6-6, 215: Larrañaga has no plans of easing the star recruit, who was ranked the No. 32 prospect nationally by Rivals, into the rotation. Timberlake's addition and ability to make an immediate impact gives UM five rotational players to utilize among three guards. Should Larrañaga opt to go to a small lineup, Timberlake can even play the 4 as a bigger, stronger guard that can defend.

Keep your eye on Hurricanes football, basketball and more throughout the year.
14 Rodney Miller Jr., R-Sr. C, 7-0, 250: The addition of Brooks will give Miller the help he needs inside, especially if Deng Gak can also stay healthy to bring some frontcourt depth, to a team that has lacked in that department in recent years. Looking to build on his 7.2 points, 5.5 rebounds per game in 2019-20, Miller has worked on incorporating more post moves and a mid-range jump shot into his offensive game.
15 Willie Herenton, Sr. G, 6-2, 180: A walk-on guard.
RELATED: Hurricanes look for turnaround basketball season, even without F Sam Waardenburg »
21 Sam Waardenburg, R-Sr. F, 6-10, 225: Waardenburg was lost for the season after he sustained a left foot injury in an October practice. After starting 24 games last season, Waardenburg would likely have been Miami's starting power forward. The Hurricanes will be without last season's leading rebounder (6 per game), who also averaged 1.1 blocks per game and was a big who could stretch the floor and shoot from the outside.

22 Deng Gak, R-Jr. F, 6-11, 220: Last season, Gak had his season cut short due to a right knee injury. The year before, it was his left knee. Gak now hopes to stay healthy for a full season as another UM big man that can help replace Waardenburg. Larrañaga can use him at power forward or center.
Miami's Kameron McGusty (23) goes up for a shot between Notre Dame's John Mooney (33) and Temple 'T.J.' Gibbs (10) during the first half on Feb. 23, 2020, in South Bend, Ind. (Robert Franklin/AP)
23 Kameron McGusty, R-Sr. G, 6-5, 190: Larrañaga feels McGusty looks the most athletic he has looked since transferring from Oklahoma ahead of the 2018-19 season, which he had to sit out. With his back no longer an issue, McGusty is looking to build on a 19-20 season in which he was third on the team at 12.5 points per game and added 4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per contest.
33 Matt Cross, Fr. F, 6-7, 225: Of the forwards on the roster, Cross is the best shooter. It's one thing he was known for as a four-star recruit out of Brewster Academy in New Hampshire. Larrañaga has also touted Cross' hard-nose defense.

Find the center of the room, that is where you are going to start with the focal point of the design. For a central rug-like design, measure the area to be tiled, and find the center of two opposite walls or sides. Use these points to snap a chalk line across the length of the area, in the center of the floor, dividing the room or area in half. Then snap another chalk line perpendicular to the first, so the two lines cross in the center of the room.
Check where the lines intersect with a carpenter's square to make absolutely sure the center point has a 90-degree angled quadrant. Start by laying a tile at the intersection of the lines, and then use the lines as a guide, as you work your way outward toward the walls in each quadrant.
Cement tiles can be cut using a wet saw with a diamond blade.
This can also help you create more intricate layouts with cost savings. For instance, if you want to have a strip of 2″ x 8″ border, you can order 8″ x 8″ tiles, and cut three pieces from each, for a lower price per square foot.
Where did you get the tile?

If you're a CSS fan like I am, you've no doubt heard of CSS preprocessors such as SASS and LESS already. I see LESS mentioned more often outside of the Rails world, which really shouldn't be the case. I feel like LESS has more overhead in the site/app itself, and is thus slower.

T lymphocyte regeneration after transplantation of T cell depleted allogeneic bone marrow

The regeneration of T cell subsets was studied with double immunofluorescence marker methods in 37 patients who received HLA matched T lymphocyte depleted bone marrow transplants (BMT) as part of the treatment for their haematological disease. A cocktail of anti-pan-T (CD6: MBG6) and anti-suppressor/cytotoxic-T cell (CD8: RFT8) monoclonal antibodies was used with rabbit serum as a source of cytolytic complement to achieve selective T cell lysis. The T8+ cells reached low normal values around 60 days posttransplant and remained within the normal range throughout the study (>150 days). This observation is in contrast to our previously published results in patients who, after receiving BMT without efficient T cell depletion, had increased numbers of circulation T8+ cells from 60 days post-transplant. In the present study Leu-7+, RFT8- cells reached normal values rapidly but the reconstitution of T4+ lymphocytes was slow: low normal levels were reached only around day 150 following BMT. The degree of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) seemed to be related to the number of residual T cells infused: two of the three patients who received the highest numbers of T cells developed Grade II and III; otherwise GVHD was minimal. Among the clinical parameters studied cytomegalovirus (CMV) immune status moderately influenced reconstitution: at 55-90 days posttransplant T8+ cells were present at the upper normal levels in seven out of 15 patients receiving BMT from CMV seronegative donors, but in none of the 16 individuals receiving BMT from seropositive donors. CMV related complications were relatively uncommon. Thus the most significant factor in preventing 'T8+ cell overshoot' and T cell imbalance during regeneration appears to be the depletion of T (including T8+) lymphocytes from marrow. The differences of T8+ cell reconstitution in this and previous studies may reflect a different regeneration pattern from T cell precursors as opposed to inoculated mature T cells.

to read, although, I'd like to read her 2 first published novels "Nervous Condition" and "The Book of Not". This Mournable Body will be published in August by Graywolf Press.
Cassava Republic has come to stay. I have never read anything by Ayesha Harruna attah, although, I'd loved to. Cassava Republic will be publishing her third novel in May 2018. It's a novel set in pre-colonial Ghana that narrates on the slave trade.
Aminatta Forna's latest novel will be published in March 2018 by Atlantic Monthly Press. I am not sure I'll be reading. I read her novel "The Memory of Love" and it is not a novel I'd say I enjoyed.
"Speak No Evil" will be published in March 2018 by Harper. I have read Uzodinma's "Beast of No Nation" which I enjoyed. It seems the novel is about a boy (Nigerian) whose parents discover he is gay. I'd like to read.
Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's latest novel to be published by The New Press on March 2018 is Wrestling with the Devil. It's his prison Memoir. The only work by this author that I have read so far is The River Between published in 1965. I look forward to reading more of his works.
Will you be reading any of the books mentioned above? What are your watch-out books in 2018?
I am looking forward to "Freshwater" by Akwaeke Emezi. More so because of the stamp of approval that Chimamanda gave her than anything else lol.
I did not know that Tsitsi Dangarembga was coming out with something new. I am so looking forward to that. Nervous Conditions remains one of my firm favourites. Thanks for the heads up and your wonderful blog.
I recently read a book with a stamp of approval by Chimamanda and I must say I was disappointed. I think I like what she writes not what she recommends... anyways.
I have not read anything yet by Tsitsi Dangarembga, I just have so many books on my shelf..
I echo your sentiments on the stamp of approval bit.
I read a Nigerian novel that came with a stamp of approval and also a lot of rave reviews from other sources. It was probably the worst book i read in the last 18 months. It was utterly flat and disappointing. I am careful about those stamps of approval. Reviews from every day readers on blogs and Amazon are better pointers in my view.


President Emomali Rahmon yesterday received visiting President of Russia's Tatarstan Republic, Rustam Minnikhanov, who arrived in Tajikistan on a working visit.
Rahmon and Minnikhanov positively assessed the bilateral cooperation between Tajikistan and the Russian Federation, according to the Tajik president's official website.
At the same time, they reportedly noted that there was considerable room for expansion of economic ties.
Rahmon and Minnikhanov outlined sectors like industry, transport, agriculture and pharmaceutics as areas which could drive the bilateral trade between Tajikistan and the Republic of Tatarstan, the Tajik president's website says.
They reportedly also underlined the necessity of using opportunities of Tajikistan's fee economic zones, creating and developing technological parks in Tajikistan, establishing joint labor exchanges and training high-quality personnel for Tajikistan's economic sectors for further expansion of bilateral economic cooperation.
The Republic of Tatarstan, or simply Tatarstan, is a federal subject (a republic) of the Russian Federation, located in the Volga Federal District. Its capital is the city of Kazan. The unofficial Tatarstan motto is Bez Buldırabız! (We can!).
Tatarstan is one of the most economically developed regions of Russia. The republic is highly industrialized and ranks second to Samara Oblast in terms of industrial production per square kilometer. The region's main source of wealth is oil. Tatarstan produces 32 million tons of crude oil per year and has estimated oil reserves of more than 1 billion tons. Industrial production constitutes 45% of the republic's gross regional domestic product. The most developed manufacturing industries are petrochemical industry and machine building. The truck-maker KamAZ is the region's largest enterprise and employs about one-fifth of Tatarstan's workforce. Kazanorgsintez, based in Kazan, is one of Russia's largest chemical companies. Tatarstan's aviation industry produces Tu-214 passenger airplanes and helicopters. The Kazan Helicopter Plant is one of the largest helicopter manufacturers in the world. Engineering, textiles, clothing, wood processing, and food industries are also of key significance in Tatarstan.

15 days residency at the Pavillon on the tip of the Caen Peninsula.
Crossing the Orne river one day using the Orne-Boom (a boom built in 1908 that is used to regulate the tide) I realized that in font of each door, on the downstream side, the water was forming very powerful whirlpools. The next time I crossed the bridge I saw that the debris that had been floating the day before was still turning around in the same place. I understood that the whirlpools were so strong that any objects caught in them could barely escape. So, I decided to throw some art in one of the strongest whirlpools and see what would happen. After 5 days I decided to get them back and, after quite a lot of trouble, I managed to fish them all out of the water and bring them back to the exhibition space.
"Le Pavillon", the venue where my residency took place and where I showed the results of my experiments in the street, is situated on the tip of the Caen Peninsula. It's a very interesting area because it is surrounded by water (the St. Pierre Bassin, the Caen à la Mer Canal, the Orne river and the Victor Hugo canal) and currently it's in the middle of a huge urban transformation. Modern constructions, old factories, abandoned buildings, designed green areas and waste land are all mixed together. This makes it an open space, well defined and perfect for aleatory wandering.
For this exercise, I defined 23 points at key spots around the area (building angles, crossroads and corners). The goal was to walk from one point to another choosing at random the next point. The route started at point n.º1, had to go through 10 points and finished again at point n.º1. The result of each stroll generated a design that was then converted into a wood sculpture using a laser at the local Dôme Fablab. Finally, I painted and exhibited them at the Pavillon. I traced 11 routes myself and 6 were traced by the participants of a workshop with the Fablab. Each sculpture represents a 30 to 40 minutes stroll on a distance from 2 to 3 km.

Q: Mate Desktop - display sleep moves windows with dual monitors I'm running Ubuntu MATE 20.04 with matching dual monitors. I want the computer to put the displays to sleep which it does, however when waking the displays and unlocking, all the windows have been moved to the primary screen, meaning i need to  move them back any time the screen locks.
Any idea of a fix or workaround?

Residents fight against planned 'ring of steel'
Posted By National Wind Watch On March 15, 2012 @ 12:44 pm In Scotland | Comments Disabled
A Ross-shire community has come out fighting against proposals for two new windfarms, claiming they would leave them "totally surrounded" by a ring of steel.
Residents of Ardross, near Evanton, who already have three windfarms on their doorsteps, are furious at proposals to build Glenmorie windfarm in Strath Rusdale on the historic Kildermorie and Glencalvie estates and another at Coire Na Cloiche, just a few miles away at the head of Strath Rusdale. Ardross Community Council secretary John Edmondson said: "We are feeling very enclosed, certainly if the Glenmorie proposal goes ahead, we will be totally surrounded.
"We are used to having access to the hills and quiet enjoyment of our place. The two windfarms proposed will basically put a ring of steel round our community.
"The combined total of these two applications will amount to a further 47 turbines for a community which already has 67 turbines in or immediately neighbouring it, making a total of 114."
Power company AES is seeking permission for 36 turbines at Glenmorie.
RockBySea, which is behind the Coire Na Cloiche windfarm between Braentra and the existing Beinn Tharsuinn windfarm, is seeking permission for 13 turbines.
Mr Edmondson said: "The general view of the local people at a recent meeting is that this proposal was a step too far. Ardross had welcomed previous windfarms, but the cumulative effect of these and Glenmorie on a small community would be unreasonable."
A meeting about the RockBySea proposal will take place on Monday at Ardross Community Hall at 8pm.
Glenmorie windfarm project director Steve Hunter said: "There will be substantial economic benefits from this windfarm if it goes ahead.
"During construction it is expected that 21 jobs could be created in the region, with six in the local area. Throughout the 25-year operation of the windfarm we anticipate there could be 20 jobs created in the region, of which eight could be in the local area."
He said they would also create a fund for the local communities of £5000/MW which would equate to about £500,000 a year.

Nanosatellites to support digitalisation of Dubai's power, water networks
Space-D supports DEWA's grid digitalisation programme by using IoT and remote sensing technologies…reports Asian Lite News
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has selected NanoAvionics to design, build, test, and manage the launching of two nanosatellites 3U and 6U. The services supplied by Nanoavionics also include operation, knowledge transfer and training.
This is part of DEWA's space-D programme that seeks to enhance operational efficiency and reliability, and promote preventive maintenance for the planning, generation, transmission and distribution of electricity and water networks. Space-D supports DEWA's grid digitalisation programme by using IoT and remote sensing technologies.
Through this programme and the expertise of NanoAvionics, DEWA intends to enhance its flexibility and agility in monitoring and managing its electrical and water networks. With Space-D, DEWA expects to reduce costs, improve its asset utilisation and provide sustainable, efficient and reliable power and water services to its customers.
"His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, launched DEWA's space programme, Space-D. The programme aims to build DEWA's capabilities and train Emirati professionals to use space technologies to enhance its electricity and water networks. The programme will take advantage of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and blockchain to exchange information with the help of satellite communications and earth observation technologies," said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.
In line with its digital transformation, DEWA will use a 3U satellite with an Internet of Things (IoT) payload as well as a 6U satellite with an Earth Observation (EO) payload from Nanoavionics. Using satellite network connectivity, IoT terminals, satellite imagery and applying AI to the captured data will bring greater efficiency and effectiveness to DEWA's operations, maintenance and planning. The agreement with NanoAvionics also includes launch management, construction of the ground station, and an extensive training programme for Emirati professionals to facilitate know-how transfer and support in expanding DEWA's future space capabilities.

Many Nigerians took to their twitter handle and other social platforms to attack the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity over his latest statement on herdsmen.
Adesina had denied a message on a fake Twitter handle purportedly belonging to President Muhammadu Buhari in circulation. He said that the spurious message sought to justify attacks by herdsmen, saying they were only defending themselves.
The Special Adviser that evil doers and enemies of Nigeria are obviously at work, seeking ways to further advance their pernicious acts.
However, many who attacked Adesina said he and his boss were the real enemies of Nigeria but not the innocent citizens that raised their voices against impunity and killings by herdsmen.
Adesina's message denounced the twitter handle, adding that President Buhari stands by his earlier condemnation of the killings in Benue and other parts of the country as dastardly and unacceptable before God and man. Those behind the concocted message are also enemies of God and man, who have no place in a decent society.
The President stands by his earlier directives that all those behind wanton killings in any part of the country must be brought to book.
