Total area of the Sudan is about one million miles square (about 2.5 million km square) which makes it one of the largest African countries and it comes ninth among the largest countries of the world. Sudan is the largest Arab and African country as its area constitutes 8.3% of the total area of Africa.
The following countries neighbor Sudan:- Egypt, Libya, Chad, Central Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia across the Red Sea.
Annual rain rates range from almost zero in the far north to 500 mm in the central Sudan to more than 1500 mm in the far south of Sudan.
The River Nile, including all its various branches, plays an important role in the Sudan's economic, social and cultural life and in its foreign relationships. Water of the River Nile and all its various branches is utilized in generating electricity from Dams of Al-Roseires, Sinnar, Khashm Al-Girba and Jabal Awliaa as well as in navigation and fishing.
There are (17) airports in Sudan of which (6) are international airports, the biggest one thereof is the Khartoum International Airport, which studies are currently made for transferring and reconstructing it, and (11) local airport distributed in the northern Sudan states, Atbara, Al-Fashir and others. There are (63) airstrips currently in the different parts of Sudan.

Toshio Shibata
Beautiful/terrible collision.
Toshio Shibata has spent years documenting the locations at which the Japanese landscape meets the Japanese love of construction. The apparent armoring and transformation of natural terrains into complex geometric super-surfaces is presented as both poetic and, at times, overwhelming. His unimpeachable technique and poet's eye reliably deliver sublime and powerful works.

Three years in the making, Imperative Reaction return with a new album combining neo-industrial stylings and elements of trance and electro. A few tracks even delve into the realm of synthpop, while remaining congruent to the rest of the album. Released July 2002. Released exclusively on Metropolis Records.


Elena Ojea is back from Durban (South Africa) where she attended the first Lead Author Meeting (LAM) for the next IPCC Assessment Report (AR6). The week was intense but very exciting and Elena got to know the IPCC process first hand and started the work with the colleagues from the Working Group on Impacts and Adaptation.
The IPCC has a long history of science-policy communication, where scientific reports have reached global policy and awareness of the impacts of human induced climate change, adaptation measures and ways to mitigate rapid change. Created by the UNEP and WMO, It has published 5 assessment reports that have had very strong influence in the evolution of climate action by countries. From setting the limit in 2ºC worming by the end of the century, to the global carbon stocktake agreement upon the Paris Agreement in 2016.
This sixth Assessment report will update current evidence on climate change impacts and adaptation to understand in an objective and comprehensive manner, what are our limits and development pathways to avoid drastic climate change in the future. The report will be available in 2021, after more than two years of intensive work by Lead Authors. Elena Ojea is one of such Lead Authors in the Ocean and coastal ecosystems and their services chapter, and will be attending the periodic LAM meetings. We will keep up with the news and this important project for the long term sustainability of life on Earth!

One technology that makes concrete without cement and does not have the associated carbon footprint is geopolymer concrete. This technology utilizes waste fly ash from power stations and mixes it with activating chemicals to form a binder with similar or better properties than cement. Not only does this technology directly reduce carbon emissions by replacing cement it also utilizes the waste bi-product from power stations and prevents it from going to landfill. Concrete is composed of coarse aggregates, sand and cementitious paste. It seemed possible to make geopolymer concrete from 100% waste. The aggregates would come from recycled concrete and hard brittle bottom ash from power stations, the sand would come from foundries and the fly ash binder would also come from the same power station as the bottom ash. All of these materials are waste and would all be dumped in landfill. Where would one find all these waste materials in one place? The industrial suburb of Kwinana outside Perth is home to a large number of industries producing all these wastes. To find products that have a specification that these materials would suit was a material with a relatively low specification, one such specification is the concrete masonry units' specification. For this to be adopted the mix design would then have to be altered to a drier type mix without any slump. As recycling facilities do not make a range of products it was decided to crush the aggregates in the laboratory specifically for this research and to blend all the waste materials. Numerous combinations were blended, analysed and assessed to establish which blends would best suit the aims and scope of this research. Eventually three blends were selected that encompassed all the waste products.To find the right mix design proved challenging as these masonry products generally require a mix to have zero slump. It was decided to test across all the known and analysed water to geopolymer solids ratios for each of the mixes and establish the best mix based on compressive strength, workability and slump A known mix design based on research into low calcium Class F geopolymer concrete, developed at Curtin University using natural aggregates, was applied to these selected recycled waste mix designs. The benefit was to be able to compare the results of this research to a known result. Flash setting, an unknown phenomenon in geopolymer concrete, did occur in the low water mixes, but in spite of this, geopolymer concrete was successfully manufactured. The compressive strengths were substantially lower than those of the design mix and more research is required in this regard, however an indirect relationship was observed between the amount of bottom ash and the compressive strength. The high degree of LOI (loss of ignition) in both ashes, porosity of recycled aggregates, angularity, degree of fineness of the fines and flash setting are all possible factors influencing the properties of the geopolymer concrete. More research is recommended in a number of these areas to be able to understand and develop this technology further in order to make this a practical and robust technology in the quest to find solutions to our warming planet and our changing climate.

Heart attack victims say thanks to first responders and family
Vicki Gough
Smiles, hugs and tears filled the council chambers at Chatham-Kent Civic Centre Wednesday.
Three local citizens and their family members came face-to-face with the people who saved their lives when struck by heart attacks last year.
Ken Bourdeau was mowing his lawn when he started to feel weak and collapsed on May 21.
Bourdeau was in cardiac arrest when his neighbour Carol Thompson began chest compressions until paramedics Ken Langlois and Ron McGregor arrived to begin medical resuscitation procedures.
Bourdeau's heart began beating before his transport to the ER.
"I don't remember a thing," Bourdeau told the special gathering at the 1st Annual Survivor Day held Wednesday to recognize life-saving efforts by Chatham-Kent paramedics, firefighters, dispatchers and police.
If it wasn't for Mary Bray's two children being home when her heart stopped beating on Oct. 26, events could have been catastrophic.
Bray had just returned home from a shift at the Blenheim Community Village where she is a registered practical nurse when her heart stopped beating.
Grant, 15, found his mom lying on the floor unconscious. He called 911 and had his 16-year-old sister, Jamie, come help.
The pair performed chest compressions and rescue breathing until paramedics arrived.
"I didn't know CPR, just what I'd seen on TV," Jamie Bray told The Chatham Daily News.
Grant remembered trying to find a cellphone that worked.
Bray was teary eyed when her children were publicly recognized for their efforts to save her life during the 1st Annual Survivor Day awards ceremony.
The trio enjoyed a long hug in front of a room full of people who know the outcome of heart attacks are rarely positive.
Bray also got to thank paramedics Jon Benoit and Dwayne Purdy in person for their efforts to restore her heart beat and breathing.
"This was my first save," said Benoit.
Bray turned 41 a week after her heart attack and enjoyed her birthday with family at her parent's house.
"We have a picture and my dad is in the background, jumping with his arms raised (in joy)," Bray told The Daily News.
Jill DeMaeyer realized her husband's breathing was abnormal in the early morning hours of Oct. 30.
Tim DeMaeyer went into cardiac arrest while Jill called 911 and began chest compressions until help arrived.
The 35-year-old made a full recovery and now lives with an implanted internal cardio defibrillator.
All survivors were grateful to be able to meet and thank the many people in person who helped them through the darkest day of their lives.

How to Control Xamarin Forms ListView SelectedItem ViewCell Visibility?
In Xamarin Forms XAML, I want to hide part of ViewCell if it is not selected. For example the second label with text="Show only if selected". How to do that?
binding with what? I want to Bind like with ListView.SelectedItem, or maybe IsSelected like in WPF.
in your ListView you should have an ItemSource property.
in your Model you should have a "somewhere" (ok, call it "Selected" as bool so it's clearer).
When you select your item on the listView, set Selected to true.
Thank you Alessandro, I think your code will work, but I prefer pure XAML if possible and without code behind.
With your code, the View has direct connection with Model that should be avoided, should be with Data Binding (MVVM concept).
But It doen't work because converter cannot be bound.
So, do you have a good solution now?
Yoyokits, I had the same problem and got it to work by modifying your code. It's true that a converter parameter cannot be bound, but we can use x:Reference in the converter parameter and extract the BindingContext.
<Label Text="Show only if selected"

Sanofi's Shan5 vaccine to restart in 2013
The year 2013 still appears correct for Sanofi's ($SNY) relaunch of its Shantha Biotech unit's Shan5 pentavalent vaccine, sidelined in 2010 by the World Health Organization because of a white residue in some vials. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization of India said it no longer expects to begin the inspection process in January because the company is conducting additional stability studies.
Sanofi said in November 2010 that it expected Shan5 to be off the market until 2013 while it rebounded from manufacturing issues. The troubled vaccine was manufactured in 2009, predating Sanofi's acquisition of Shantha.
Hyderabad, India-based Shantha lost its prequalification status with WHO in July 2010, and along with it a three-year, $340 million contract for the vaccine. Shan5 protects children against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, influenza B and hepatitis B. The canceled deal affected vaccination programs in 7 countries, according to WHO. The organization traced the white sediment to Shan5's pertussis component.
Apart from implementing corrective measures at the Hyderabad plant, Shantha faces the additional step of reapplying for WHO prequalification to get back on UNICEF's vaccine-maker list. When Shan5 was sidelined in 2010, WHO tapped Crucell to fill the void.

Perfumer Marie Salamagne is the Nose Behind Fashion's Most Revered Designers
By Joshua Glass
Born in Paris, Marie Salamagne was studying to become a doctor when she had a change of heart. Intrigued by the mechanics of chemistry but desperately in search of a more creative process, she finished her degree only to make a turn. Soon she found herself at the historic ISIPCA perfume school in Versailles, the institute founded by Jean-Paul Guerlain, whose family's house she would collaborate with years later, in addition to the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Maison Martin Margiela, and Azzedine Alaïa. Here, Salamagne discusses the sensorial world she's built around herself in the past decade and her relationship with the notoriously mysterious couturier, Alaïa himself.
Because the world of perfumery is so enigmatic, it's difficult to picture what kind of space you work in on a day-to-day. I imagine it to be somewhere between a medieval atelier and some sort of futuristic robot lab, like a Bjork music video. Is that so?
"It is not so fantastical! [Laughing.] It is a normal office. You know how a mess can be organized? That is the way in which I work. My desk is often covered with many samples and vials. Notebooks too! I love recording notes about anything and everything: raw materials, ideas I have, random things that occur to me, aromas that I come across."
Smell is so complex, but it's also such a momentary event. It's bodily. How do you put these experiences—say a whiff of tree whilst walking past it—into words?
"Whenever I have an idea—whether it's a vivid description, a name of food, or even a color, I write it on paper. That is the way I remember particular smells—I associate each with a familiar feeling or life event. I take these notes and create an almost library of them. When I want to produce an effect in perfume, I go through my collection. Through this I can create anything from a fresh rose to the smell of lust. Vetiver, for instance, is difficult to explain in words. It's woody, of course, but it has a little bit of earth too it. "Peanut" is what helps me recall it."
What led you to such a specific type of work?
"Originally, I was to be a doctor. My parents were both doctors, so that must have been where that started. I realized in school, though, that that was not what I wanted to do. I studied chemistry—and I actually thought it was quite fun playing with the molecules—but I knew I wouldn't be happy following that path. I danced a lot before that, and liked to draw. I had what you might call an artistic sensitivity. My revolution eventually came in perfume."
I won't name them all, but you've been the nose of so many distinct (commercially and artistically) scents over the last ten years. Which of the first were the most significant to you?
"When you're a student of perfumery, the wait is long. You have to learn the history to understand how the old ones were made. Then you create simple accords while slowly increasing their complexities. It takes a very long time. When I returned to Paris after school (I trained before that in Geneva and then in Princeton, NJ), I worked with Guerlain. Many of those first fragrances are still on the market today, and I get a little smile when I smell them because I'm reminded of the excitement of that time. Then, of course, Vivienne Westwood, Yves Saint Laurent, Jo Maline, and Mr. Alaïa."
There is a sense of parallelism between the mystery of Alaïa's fashion house and the somewhat lost art of perfume creation. You worked with each other on the inception of his first ever scent, Alaïa Paris. What was it like to work with such a legend?
"It was so fantastic. I first met Mr. Alaïa's years ago, and I presented him with a few ideas—very strong thoughts with a few small accords. An accord is like a sketch of a fragrance. He fell in love with a one smell in particular, and we started to work around it—something that was almost a contradiction between hot and cold. He told me he wanted to reproduce a specific moment from his past in fragrance: When he used to live with his grandmother in Tunisia as a child, she would throw ice cold buckets of water on the sun-soaked patios to cool them. He wanted to reproduce the smell of the fresh atmosphere and the heat escaping. And that's what I did. He is someone I respect so much. Even more after working with him, which is unbelievable. He was very accessible."
Accessible? That's very surprising.
"He'd always consider what you had to say. Of course, he'd make his own opinions, but he is very open. He also takes his time, which I love. It's all about the creation. "We have time," he'd say. If we could do it better, there's almost always more time. I really love that approach. In our crazy lives these days—when everything has to be done very quickly no matter what—he has no sensation of rush. Every time I go to his house it is always a surprise. Many things are always happening! We'd usually work there, and after a big session he'd stop and say, "Ok, we've worked too much, now it's time for good times." We'd have lunch or a little drink. Sometimes there would be exhibitions at his gallery, and he would give us a tour. There'd be very famous people, but it still felt very comfortable. That is what I like most about Mr. Alaïa: It never was showoff-y. He wanted everyone to be happy and feel great."
From Alaïa to Westwood, your job as a fragrancier in this capacity is essentially that of a ghostwriter. To take these very unique dreams and put them into a different, fully realized language. I'm curious about your own point of view in regards to scents?
"I work a lot with what the client (the designer) gives me. Sometimes it's a lot; sometimes it's very little. Of course, part of my job is learning their histories. It's key. I have to look at what they've done before and not only in perfume. I go through the fashion collections. I like to use these images and colors to think. For me personally, it's all about a feeling. I want the man or woman who is wearing the scent to feel great. I want to look back on my career and be able to say that I made people feel happy, elegant. Scents don't have to be too complicated. A fragrance can be complex and take many years to create, but the result should be simple happiness. Additive pleasure."

June 13, 2013 • The Colombian city was the world's murder capital in the 1990s, but it managed to turn its fortunes around. Homicides were cut by 80 percent and made big gains on a number of fronts. But the city still faces many challenges in a region plagued by violence.

No, it was San Jose Sharks director of scouting Doug Wilson Jr., and this gesture, specifically for Ozzy Wiesblatt's mother, Kim White:
Bob McKenzie: "I don't know if you know what he did there, Doug Wilson Jr.. He signed. Because Ozzy Wiesblatt's mother is deaf…It's really touching to connect with the family like that. They all sign." pic.twitter.com/8edvwNRFWx
— Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) October 7, 2020
"My mom will never forget that," Wiesblatt said in a Zoom call after the San Jose Sharks selected him with the last pick of the 2020 NHL Draft's first round. "I didn't really expect it. That's one of the more cooler things I've ever seen."
A veteran of eight drafts as a member of the Sharks staff, Wilson Jr. has seen first-hand what it means to a teenager to get his name called on the draft podium. Of course, this is no normal NHL Draft — Wiesblatt can't walk to the podium this year — but Wilson Jr. had his own reasons to make the moment just a little more special.
"This is a huge moment for 17 and 18-year-olds. In my life, my mom is a huge factor. If I was in this moment, I would want to be able share it with my parents too," Wilson Jr. said. "I would've loved to have done his whole name, but I'm not that smart. I just wanted to tell the kid you're part of the Sharks family and we're excited for you."
One Big Happy Sharks Family
It seemed like the entire San Jose Sharks family came out for this Zoom call.
You should probably watch because some familiar faces crashed the interview to say congrats 😂 pic.twitter.com/TVIKIOU9Ru
— San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) October 7, 2020
Trevor Redden, the play-by-play voice of Wiesblatt's Prince Albert Raiders, told the Wilsons, "I've been on a couple Zoom calls, I haven't seen that tonight."
The four Sharks welcomed Wiesblatt in distinct ways.
"Now get back in the gym!" a jovial Brent Burns teased Wiesblatt. "You look great in the suit, but we need you in the old gym clothes."
Logan Couture, noted sports junkie, mentioned learning about Wiesblatt on Sportsnet: "Your mom seems like an angel."
Kevin Labanc was the only San Jose player to formally introduce himself to Wiesblatt. "It's just the beginning of the process," said the 24-year-old winger, who's closest to Wiesblatt in age.
Finally, Erik Karlsson fumbled with his Zoom, before saying dryly, "I've got another seven years left. We'll play together. I'm happy to be a part of that. It's going to be something really great…hopefully sooner than later."
And of course, Wiesblatt has already played with a member of the San Jose Sharks.
Let's go!!! Congrats oz @ozzywiesblatt @SanJoseSharks pic.twitter.com/OMQNjIfqW2
— Noah Gregor (@n_gregs20) October 7, 2020
"Me and Noah, when we first met, we kind of clicked right away. Ended up being linemates for the majority of the year," Wiesblatt said. "Can't wait to see some familiar faces."
He added: "I can already tell that the Sharks organization is a family. I'm just ecstatic to be a part of it."
What Does Wiesblatt Bring?
But what about Wiesblatt the player?
Wilson Jr. likes everything about Wiesblatt, on and off the ice:
"He's one of the fastest kids in all of major junior hockey. We were looking for speed. We were looking for playmaking. We were looking for possession. We're looking for puck protection and pursuit.
"No one gains the o-zone like he does. He's shifty.
"Guys would get run, he was the first guy in the pile. That's the kind of kid he is.
"He's an agitator. He's new-age toughness in the NHL."
This jibes with everything that I've read in the McKeen's 2020 NHL Draft Guide and the Elite Prospects 2020 NHL Draft Guide. Here's just a sample of the good stuff in both guides — also Future Considerations was kind enough to share a full scouting report!
Per Elite Prospects:
"He's arguably one of the best rush offence creators at 5-on-5 in the entire draft…works from a constant base of activity, and never lets his foot off the gas…human cheat code in transition."
"He lacks off-puck timing and spatial awareness…lack of a credible shooting threat."
"He's more of a playmaker anyway."
"He could be a complementary piece in the top-six or a play-driver in the bottom-six."
Per McKeen's Hockey:
"Abrasive energy player….his speed and relentless pursuit of the puck makes him a valuable asset…has the acceleration, the power in his stride and the breakaway top speed that make him a threat anytime he is on the ice."
"The concern with Wiesblatt is whether he possesses high-end offensive potential…does not have a ton of confidence in his shooting ability…scouts also look for Wiesblatt's physicality to be more consistent."
Per Future Considerations:
If you haven't, get the McKeen's 2020 NHL Draft Guide or the Elite Prospects 2020 NHL Draft Guide or subscribe to Future Considerations…you won't regret it!

Such a cool moment. Major kudos to Dougie.
As someone who lives in a WHL city, I have seen Weisblatt play live a few times (different division so we only play them a few times in a season). I've liked this kids game since he was a rookie. His speed is a stand out for sure, and his Family story will put tears in your eyes. I'm over the moon with this pick.

Physical therapy (PT) is one of the most commonly recommended methods for managing back pain. Sessions often involve muscle strengthening exercises and therapeutic techniques such as soft tissue manipulation, electric stimulation, and hot and cold therapy. Most of the time patients experience positive results from these various forms of PT. Even so, there are times when physical therapy isn't helping with back pain. Dr. Hyun Bae and his team of expert back surgeons at The Spine Institute explain why.
Looking up some PT exercises online based on a self-assessment of your back pain is fine as long as you're on the mark. However, if you're incorrect about your self-diagnosis, you may be doing more harm than good. For instance, muscle strengthening exercises that aren't targeting the right area of the back may be aggravating the actual part of the spine that's really the source of your pain. If you've put together your own PT routine and it's not working, check in with your doctor for a more accurate assessment.
If you're not experiencing beneficial results from physical therapy, the true source of your back pain may not have been diagnosed yet. Talk to your doctor or a Los Angeles spine surgeon to determine if this is the case. Oftentimes, receiving an accurate diagnosis increases a patient's response to recommended PT techniques.
For some patients, PT may not be the solution. However, there are other options that may be effective, including minimally invasive spine surgery. Los Angeles patients can trust in Dr. Bae to diagnose the source of their pain and help them find an effective solution for relief. Call 310-828-7757 today to schedule an in-person evaluation.

People were not created merely to live here on earth like animals that disappear after their death, but to live with God and in God, and to live not for a hundred or a thousand years, but to live eternally. But only Christians can live with God; that is to say, those who rightly believe in Jesus Christ.
Everyone, whoever he may be, desires and seeks prosperity and happiness. To desire what is good for oneself and to seek prosperity or happiness is part of man

The Connection- I will admit I've felt very disconnected to Miles since he title entered the ultimate line's crossover and everything since has been a prelude to this. David Zavimbe had me from the beginning because of the constant tragedies of his hero career. Miles has had the uncle incident for twenty issues with his family now getting involved. Ladies and gentlemen Bendis has done it again. With the death of Rio Morales he's set things up for Miles walking away from the mantle and the one year time jump Bendis has been talking about. This "Uncle Ben moment" does exactly what Bendis hoped it pulls both the fans and Miles into a shared tragedy which hopefully will keep both coming back for years to come.
Art-Sara Pichelli is still on art and as you would expect everything is simply flawless!
Emotional- While the death of Rio Morales was touching even worse was Miles waking up the day after and literally thinking it was all a nightmare only to run downstairs to see his friend and his mother. The emotional outburst as he destroys his costume typifies just how different he is from Peter Parker. This heart wrenching in its emotional depth while being so simply illustrated. Pure gold!
Action– We have a great exchange between hero and villain which carries the second half of the story.
Rio Morales– I don't know about anyone else but Rio was always the more 'background" parent for me when it comes to Miles. His father was the one I was more attached to but Rio finds her voice even if it was right before she kicked the bucket. Rio fought for her son despite the danger to herself and even plead with the villain when she thought her son was about to die. Rio you've been cast into Comic Book dead land but you sure went out with a bang!
Similarities- So Miles now has an "Uncle Ben moment", got his powers in the same manner as Peter Parker, has Mary Jane and Gwen as support characters and the same "can't keep my identity secret" problem Parker had.
New Villains– So the Roxxon Corporation has taken over from Os Corp as the source of quite a few bad things. Here's the skinny on Roxxon, back during the Ultimate Doom Trilogy there was a group there who have plans to create the next big "super weapon" mainly a super soldier of some kind and they are willing to do anything to get it. Spider-man and creating a version of him now seems to be the task of the day. Venom as we learn this issue went off on his own and became what he did, now Roxxon wants Spider-man to learn how to create a creature similar for his own use.
Black Heroes- He may be dead but the Venom featured in this crossover was African American and of course we have Miles Morales.
Honestly the death seemed rushed, it just comes out of left field. Death for death's sake is not a good look for modern comics, I mean can a story not have emotional depth without a death?
I gotta say, i jus jumped into Ultimate Comics: Spiderman, its not that i dont like it, just didnt pick up interest till now. But wow. this is Miles' defining issue. This is why it's nice for a new spiderman.

What's the matter with PST?
By Ryan February 20, 2011
I just returned from pre-service training (PST) for SA23, and I'll be heading back soon. I had an excellent time for the most part. I really enjoyed seeing the trainees, and like to think I made some new friends. Yet the actual purpose of PST, namely preparing the trainees for the next two years, was in my opinion a near-total failure.
The problems lay in three main domains. First was logistics. Basically everything connected with any logical process—transport, food, IT, and scheduling—was a continuous slow-moving catastrophe. Large parts of the trainees' food were delivered days late, sessions very often started late (sometimes 2 hours or more), and IT setup often cut into session time. Second was the actual content of the sessions. Trainees seemed to think that most of the sessions were a waste of time, and the sessions they did like were mostly discussions amongst themselves. Finally, some trainees (especially ones that had been shipped here from Niger after that post closed) did not like the relentlessly negative atmosphere that had taken root at PST.
The logistical issues are at least a straightforward diagnosis: the people in charge do not do their jobs adequately. (The treatment, on the other hand, is more complicated.) Whether this is a management failure or just lousy personnel is an open question. I remember talking with the logistical coordinator about the aforementioned lack of food (since the volunteers visiting eat the same box of groceries as the trainees). "We're missing some food," I said. "Yes, no one has breakfast food," he replied. "I don't know what happened." I felt like shaking him—it was his responsibility! It's a small and trivial example, but representative of the kind of thing that was constantly happening.
This is a good time to introduce the issue of volunteers at training. Traditionally, volunteers have done many of the technical sessions, and there has been one volunteer present for the entire training to help with logistics and so forth. Put simply, the Peace Corps administration does not like them there, but has not thought hard about what it entails to get rid of them. For SA23, they drastically reduced the number of volunteers, and got rid of the permanent position. I actually agree that it doesn't make much sense to have volunteers doing lots of technical sessions—I for example, am manifestly unqualified to be doing most of the sessions I have been given.
But their solution is to give many of those sessions to the language trainers*, probably the only people involved in training who are an even worse choice than volunteers. What's more, though they only took a few volunteers, they ended up giving them a huge number of sessions apiece. In my opinion, there should be a single expert professional in charge of technical sessions, and volunteers should share stories about their experiences and help build enthusiasm. On the other hand, removing the permanent volunteer (the one helping with logistics) was a drastic mistake. The one area where volunteers are in general a valuable addition to PST is logistics; having one there to serve as a liason to the trainees and lean on the officials to get things done on time was a large benefit for previous PSTs.
The final logistical issue is just basic management. There was no centralization of command and no clear lines of responsibility. They kept the officials in charge of various branches of PST scattered far apart in different houses (which added yet more logistical problems) and meant that often those officials wouldn't arrive home until near midnight. The responsibility issue was just the usual bureaucratic buck-passing that everyone has seen. Each official should have a clear area of responsibility so that failures can be isolated and examined, and the responsible parties can't squirm away.
I've already talked a little about the content of the sessions. I agree that most of the technical sessions are in reality (but not in theory) useless. This has a great deal to do with the pre-PST training for trainers (GTOT-general training of trainers), something I've mentioned earlier. To abbreviate a very long and tedious story, the most important and concrete work of preparing for training was pushed aside in favor of a lot of abstract and vague program development. The Peace Corps has this particular development model for their sessions, and we spent the entirety of GTOT floundering around trying to bend the sessions into the correct shape, often completely forgetting about the actual content. At no point did we ask ourselves, as a group: 1) what is the point of this session? 2) what, precisely, are we trying to teach? 3) who is in the best position to teach this session? 4) how can we make this session interesting? In theory, I reckon, Peace Corps' development model is supposed to address these kinds of questions, but here it seems to be obscuring more than clarifying. The model is like brightly-painted paper mache around a balloon: on first glance, you might think it's solid, but once it's in your hands, you realize there's nothing but air inside. Thus the actual, concrete preparation for each session is largely improvised by each volunteer, the complicated model laid aside as effectively useless (and rightly so).
Again, I think hiring a real professional to take care of the technical sessions according to Peace Corps' criteria would help a great deal. A couple people could develop the curriculum as desired; leave the execution to someone with experience in managing a crowd. GTOT could then focus on how the language training should go, and what and how the officials want volunteers to do.
This brings me to the final issue, which is one I didn't anticipate before training. The volunteers from Niger told me that during their first PST they were very effective in building enthusiasm about the coming service and generally fostering a positive atmosphere. When serving South African volunteers come to training, we remember our own PST, which was usually a huge pain in the ass, and try to reassure people that though PST sucks right now, things get better when you get to your own site. We're trying to be supportive, but what I didn't consider is how that might feed into the negative atmosphere. Now, I'm not as bad as some, but I probably did say something to that effect on a few occasions. It's a tough line to walk. On one hand, you don't want to be dishonest, but on the other hand, negativity is catching, and it's easy to poison an atmosphere. I think volunteers should, while not lying about their own experiences, try to add as much positivity and good humor as they honestly can (unfortunately for me, that's not very much). The issue, again with GTOT, is that Peace Corps officials never tried to construct a strategy with the volunteers about what kind of atmosphere they wanted to create. In fact, they never directly told us how to act at all. Some of this is the volunteers' fault—but it's hard to always consider that what you might intend as comforting might not come off that way.
However, by far the commonest and most intense complaints from trainees were about the continual logistical failures. Making PST more effective and streamlined would greatly ameliorate the negative atmosphere, not to mention improving future trainees memories of PST. This is, in my opinion, where the bulk of the negativity problem lies.
These problems cut to the very core of Peace Corps administration here, and I'm not confident that they can be much improved without some kind of drastic organizational shakeup. We'll see how things are going when I return early next month.
*The issue with the language trainers is not intelligence, rather a question of training and experience, in particular practice in parsing complex bureaucratic English. Even native English speakers are very often terrible at this (I sometimes think bureaucratic language is a kind of disease that inhibits a person's ability to think clearly), and the language trainers' first languages are South African. Many of the trainers frankly admit this, and say things like, "I signed up to teach Zulu, not to teach about Participatory Analysis for Community Action. I had three days of training on that and I still don't know what it is." People should concentrate on their areas of expertise.

Loved your pictures, Ryan, especially the "I'm fed up and not going to take it any more" picture. My heart goes out to SA23. Would you know if Lisa Jordan and Victor Baker have any comment on your observations? B
Ryan February 20, 2011 at 2:08 PM
Yeah, the SA23 training is about par for the course. As for Lisa and Victor, I very much doubt they bother reading individual blogs. Maybe I'll send it to them :)
thesixkillerlibrarian February 21, 2011 at 10:28 AM
I really do think you should. A constructive criticism aimed at the wrong audience is like a tree falling in the forest. Who gives a shit what sound it makes, if any? I think most people are too timid or "nice" to give honest criticism, and this does nothing for improvement and growth.
Well, I don't want to get fired. I'll feel out Victor and Lisa when I head back up there next week.
Joyce February 21, 2011 at 1:26 PM
God, your post speaks so much truth. I hated PST and I really think that it set a horrible precedent for the rest of my (admittedly brief) service. Because PST was something to be endured, I think I got into this mindset that that's what PC itself was going to be like, too, and I never got any happier about being in South Africa, not even at site.
It's interesting that you should mention the Nigerien evacuees. One of my best friends spent three years as a PCV in Niger and I visited her for two weeks after about the first year. I DISTINCTLY remember thinking that they were just "doing it better" in Niger. It felt like the volunteers had the support they needed to survive. She was a regional representative for the last year, which means that she was basically the mother hen for her region - so she did things like site placement (which, OMG, PCSA needed to work on when I was there), visits to check on volunteers, administrative duties, and kind of being the all-around morale officer for the volunteers. That level of support was awesome.
I think the thing that really drove home to me that our staff just didn't care was the day that the APCDs handed out site placements. I remember my friend telling me that they made a really big deal out of this in Niger - there was always some fun themed exercise for saying where people were going and they turned it into a big party with t-shirts for the new "team" members. With us, they basically walked around passing out envelopes and then got in a car to leave for Pretoria as quickly as possible. Now, neither of those APCDs are around anymore (heck, they were both gone by a few weeks after swearing-in), but I think it was illustrative.
Anyway, I'm sad to hear that these problems haven't gotten any better with time. PCTs and PCVs deserve better.
Ryan February 22, 2011 at 1:20 AM
@Joyce: Yeah, and it's not just Niger. A friend of mine is a volunteer in Nicaragua, and she says much the same thing about the overall quality of administration. One would think this would be fertile ground for the DC bigwigs to try and bring up the overall post quality.
Funny, I remember my own site placement time being a rare bright spot in PST, with at least some semblance of a party atmosphere. Maybe they are improving slightly—when were you here?
Why Did Reality Winner Leak to the Intercept?
By Ryan Cooper September 29, 2020
So Reality Winner, former NSA contractor, is in federal prison for leaking classified information — for five years and three months, the longest sentence of any whistleblower in history. She gave documents on how Russia had attempted to hack vendors of election machinery and software to The Intercept , which completely bungled basic security procedures (according to a recent New York Times piece from Ben Smith, the main fault lay with Matthew Cole and Richard Esposito ), leading to her capture within hours. Winner recently contracted COVID-19 in prison, and is reportedly suffering some lingering aftereffects. Glenn Greenwald has been furiously denying that he had anything at all to do with the Winner clusterfuck, and I recently got in an argument with him about it on Twitter. I read a New York story about Winner, which clearly implies that she was listening to the Intercepted podcast of March 22, 2017 , where Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill expressed skepticism about Russia actually b
On Refusing to Vote for Bloomberg
By Ryan Cooper February 18, 2020
Billionaire Mike Bloomberg is attempting to buy the Democratic nomination. With something like $400 million in personal spending so far, that much is clear — and it appears to be working at least somewhat well, as he is nearing second place in national polls. I would guess that he will quickly into diminishing returns, but on the other hand spending on this level is totally unprecedented. At this burn rate he could easily spend more than the entire 2016 presidential election cost both parties before the primary is over. I published a piece today outlining why I would not vote for Bloomberg against Trump (I would vote for Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, or Biden), even though I live in a swing state. This got a lot of "vote blue no matter who" people riled up . They scolded me and demanded that I pre-commit to voting for Bloomberg should he win the nomination. The argument as I understand it is to try to make it as likely as possible that whatever Democrat wins t
Varanus albigularis albigularis
By Ryan October 12, 2010
That is the Latin name for the white-throated monitor lizard , a large reptile native to southern Africa that can grow up to two meters long (see pictures of one at the Oakland Zoo here ). In Setswana, it's called a "gopane." I saw one of these in my village yesterday on the way back from my run. Some kids from school found it in the riverbed and tortured it to death, stabbing out its eyes, cutting off its tail, and gutting it which finally killed it. It seemed to be a female as there were a bunch of round white things I can only imagine were eggs amongst the guts. I only arrived after it was already dead, but they described what had happened with much hilarity and re-enactment. When I asked why they killed it, they said it was because it would eat their chickens and eggs, which is probably true, and because it sucks blood from people, which is completely ridiculous. It might bite a person, but not unless threatened. It seems roughly the same as killing wolves tha


Research into brain science some surprising insights for guiding research practice. These findings suggest that the scientific method constrains our natural creativity.
Too often, researchers take their cue from the scientific method. While this method undoubtedly changed the world and our knowledge of it, it is antithetical to the creative needs of a well-rounded researcher. It is especially problematic for design research, which requires creative solutions to existing problems.
Design researchers should embrace less structure and more openness at the early stages of product design, and rigor and structure in the mature stages of product sales. As sales drop off and the product loses its natural match to the culture, design researchers should once again embrace openness in their research approaches.
Generally, we think of research as the focused, systematic collection of data, over time, in keeping with a given framework or theory. In this view, research is intended to confirm or deny given hypotheses, and incrementally improve our knowledge about a given topic.
We know from the book Thinking Fast and Slow, however, that this research approach only serves one type of thinking. Thinking Fast and Slow author Daniel Kahneman tells us that "Type 2" or "slow thinking" is a disciplined, focused, kind of thought that roughly matches the deductive reasoning of the scientific method and other traditional forms of research. It is structured and deliberate, requiring the cerebral cortex.
But Type 1 or "fast thinking" is less structured, more instinctual, and involves the more reptilian parts of the brain. At first glance, fast thinking appears to be undisciplined or even lazy – the antithesis of the scientific method. But fast thinking produces creative and intuitive leaps that are impossible with the iterative, deductive, and controlled manner of slow thinking.
Design research both thinking fast, and thinking slow. Thinking fast entails creating novel combinations, unusual interpretations, or unique syntheses. Thinking slow entails systematic evaluation and the structured contribution to a body of knowledge.
Malinowski recognizes the "chaotic mass of notes" must be whipped into shape to become a manuscript, but he must first grapple with the disorder. This is precisely what psychotherapist Rollo May describes as the "creative encounter," or the unstructured time an artist (or researcher) spends with her subject of study.
Consider also the "commonplace book," or the kind of notebook great thinkers like John Locke and Charles Darwin used to organize their thoughts. As innovation author Stephen Johnson tells us, early modern readers did not read sequentially, but jumped around, setting the stage making creative connections.
In other words, researchers who allow themselves to read out of order, or to collect without regard for structure, are able to make creative, intuitive leaps. But researchers who fail to methodically manage their knowledge fail to close the loop of production. Researchers need to think fast and to think slow. They need to think broadly and think narrowly. Type 1 and Type 2 thinking translates into 3 kinds of research: exploratory (thinking fast), evaluative (thinking fast and thinking slow), and experimental (thinking slow).
Frequently, social scientists in particular focus on "rigor" as the solution to good research. But rigor without creativity adds little to our collective knowledge. As Heideggerian scholar Carol Steiner argues, this "fore-structure" – or predetermined way of looking at the world – stops us from conducting innovative research and producing innovative things. Instead, innovative researchers, she found, are open to "Being," or the ability to have experiences, people, and objects reveal themselves to them.
In other words, researchers in particular must struggle against the "fore-structure" or their extensive theoretical and methodological training which interferes with receptivity. As Rollo May argues, being receptive does not mean lacking in rigor.
Rigor must be introduced later in the process – after the researcher becomes open to a vision, after the researcher grapples with the complexities of the data and their incongruence. Rigor often comes after a period of unconscious processing of the data. Taking walks, playing, napping, and engaging in unstructured activity have all been shown to allow synthetic ideas to emerge.
Researchers should therefore use the scientific method with caution. Be aware of when you need rigor, and when you need creativity.

Extjs Compiler
==============

This is an experiment in building a "compiled" javascript source file for an
extjs application.

Why?
---
The official tool seems lacking in at least these areas:

  - Exit status always returns 0 making it useless for deployment scripts
  - It forces the use of a static html file as the input file. Front controller
style web applications do not use a file like this so, the file must be created
and maintained separately.
  - Files are often not included in the build file.

So this tool aims to address these issues.

Usage
-----

    java -jar dist/java-extjs-compiler.jar --app your/entry/file.js \
    --src src/dir --output path/to/app-all.min.js

Optional:

--prepend Optional path to a javascript file to prepend to the the ouput file
before the compiled output.

Build the helloword sample application
--------------------------------------

Run the helloworld app in dev mode by opening a browser to:

    file:///path/to/project/samples/helloworld/app_dev.html

Run the helloworld app in build mod by first building the app.min.js file:

    java -jar dist/java-extjs-compiler.jar \
    -a samples/helloworld/app/application.js \
    -o samples/helloworld/app.min.js \
    -s samples/helloworld/app/

Then open browser to:

Hebberdane History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The Hebberdane surname is thought to be derived from one of several place names in West Yorkshire. The place names come from the Old English "heope," or "(rose) hip," and "denu," which meant "valley."
Early Origins of the Hebberdane family
The surname Hebberdane was first found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat from early times. In 1120 the manor of Hebden was granted by Roger de Mowbray to Uctred de Hebden, who was a descendant of Uctred, Earl of Northumberland.
Early History of the Hebberdane family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Hebberdane research. Another 148 words (11 lines of text) covering the years 1220, 1612 and 1670 are included under the topic Early Hebberdane History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Hebberdane Spelling Variations
One relatively recent invention that did much to standardize English spelling was the printing press. However, before its invention even the most literate people recorded their names according to sound rather than spelling. The spelling variations under which the name Hebberdane has appeared include Hebden, Hebdon, Heberden, Hepden, Habton, Habdon, Hibdon, Hibden, Ebdon and many more.
Early Notables of the Hebberdane family (pre 1700)
Another 43 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Hebberdane Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Hebberdane family
At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Hebberdane arrived in North America very early: John Ebden who settled in Barbados in 1670; Thomas Ebdon settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1716; Thomas Hebden settled in Virginia in 1634; John Hebden settled in Virginia in 1651..

Hebberdane (English)


Dr. Ignatius Piazza, a former chiropractor turned Four Weapons Combat Master, is well on his way to changing the world… especially the gun world. He founded Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in April of 1996, and as its director, has watched the gun training school substantially grow in size ever since. Currently located on a five hundred fifty acre plot of land, Front Sight has at least doubled in client size every year since its opening and is on track to do it again. Needless to say, Dr. Piazza is the man. His students agree that his balance of educational lectures and hands on tactical gun training makes for the perfect recipe for success. The team of highly experienced firearms training instructors combine their efforts with Dr. Ignatius Piazza to create the best environment for students to receive self defense firearms training, competitive firearms training and other forms of self defense training. Front Sight is known as the best firearms training school one can attend.
Dr. Ignatius Piazza, also known as the Millionaire Patriot, created his gun training program with diversity in mind. No two people are alike and everyone has different goals. On top of that, everyone is at a different level with their weapons training. Some people are beginners and want to learn how to use a gun for self defense. Some have possibly used a gun a few times and want to learn how to use a gun for family protection. Others have been shooting their whole life and want to learn more intense combat shooting skills. There are even people who have never touched a gun but wish to enter a shooting competition. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is the answer to all of these scenarios. Front Sight offers courses for everyone, from the shooting novice to the gun expert. Pistol training, rifle training, shotgun training, semiautomatic weapons training, automatic gun training, night gun training, edged weapons training, martial arts training, child safety training, youth safety training and bodyguard training are only some of the courses offered at Front Sight. No kidding, this place is a candy shop of incredible classes.
Another really awesome thing about Front Sight is that Dr. Piazza actually hosts a reality shooting competition, called Front Sight Challenge. In each episode, two professional gun users (like military officers or men and women in law enforcement) get challenged by two Front Sight trained students. (Most of these challengers had no idea when they started at Front Sight that they would ever be involved in a legendary shooting competition. They were just prospective students, much like yourself, who found a love for shooting and wanted to earn the title of Top Gun.) Anyway, each episode features these four determined combatants and a different weapon. For example, in episode twenty, the weapon of the day is the Scope Rifle. Former member of the Army National Guard and current deputy sheriff David, along with SWAT officer and former sniper Henry, are challenged by Jorge, a financial advisor with an eye for victory, and Grover, a real estate advisor who participated in competitive shooting as a boy scout. Watch with me as the bullets blaze and the competitors rise. You can see this exhilarating episode and the first nineteen others for free, and all you have to do is sign up! Dr. Piazza doesn't want you to let this opportunity pass you by… you can have five months of excitement (twenty episodes) for free, with no strings attached! Just do it. You will be glad you did.

Q: protobuf-net: Cannot Serialize using System.Enum property I'll try to explain what I'm trying to do with an example
[ProtoContract]
[ProtoInclude(101, typeof(SomeDerived))]
[ProtoInclude(102, typeof(AnotherDerived))]
public abstract class Base
{
    protected Base() {}
    public Base(double doubleProp, Enum enumProp)

        DoubleProp = doubleProp;
        EnumProp = enumProp;
    }
    [ProtoMember(1)]
    public double DoubleProp { get; }
    [ProtoMember(2)]
    public Enum EnumProp { get; }

    //More stuff

}

public enum SomeDerivedEnum
{
    //Some Enum Values
}

public enum AnotherDerivedEnum
{
    //Another Enum Values
}

public class SomeDerived : Base
{
    private SomeDerived () : base() {}

    public SomeDerived (double doubleProp, SomeDerivedEnum someEnum)

    public AnotherDerived (double doubleProp, AnotherDerivedEnum anotherEnum)
        : base(doubleProp, anotherEnum)
    {
    }

    //More Stuff

}

When I try to Serialize I get the following error

System.InvalidOperationException : No serializer defined for type: System.Enum

There's a way to protobuf just convert any System.Enum value to int and back?

A: Thanks for the comments! I've found a way based on some other posts I've read.
Responding to first comments, I cannot define a specific enum on base class because I don't know it beforehand, each derived class has its own enum. So I've came up with a different approach.
First I've added a function:
On Base:
protected virtual Type GetEnumtype() => typeof(Enum)

On SomeDerived (for example)
 protected override Type GetEnumType() => typeof(SomeDeviredEnum);

Then I've created a intermediate private int property to serialize my enums and used the override function to make the conversion back.
[ProtoMember(2)]
private int intPvtProp
{
    get => System.Convert.ToInt32(EnumProp);
    set => EnumProp = (Enum)Enum.ToObject(GetEnumType(), value);
}

public Enum EnumProp { get; }

I really don't know if is the best way to do it, but it works!

Frank O'Hara
The Poetics of Coterie
Lytle Shaw
Contemporary North American Poetry Series
In this stimulating and innovative synthesis of New York's artistic and literary worlds, Lytle Shaw uses the social and philosophical problems involved in "reading" a coterie to propose a new language for understanding the poet, art critic, and Museum of Modern Art curator Frank O'Hara (1926-1966).
O'Hara's poems are famously filled with proper names—from those of his immediate friends and colleagues in the New York writing and art worlds (John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, Grace Hartigan, Willem de Kooning, and many musicians, dancers, and filmmakers) to a broad range of popular cultural and literary heroes (Apollinaire to Jackie O). But rather than understand O'Hara's most commonly referenced names as a fixed and insular audience, Shaw argues that he uses the ambiguities of reference associated with the names to invent a fluid and shifting kinship structure—one that opened up radical possibilities for a gay writer operating outside the structure of the family.
As Shaw demonstrates, this commitment to an experimental model of association also guides O'Hara's art writing. Like his poetry, O'Hara's art writing too has been condemned as insular, coterie writing. In fact, though, he was alone among 1950s critics in his willingness to consider abstract expressionism not only within the dominant languages of existentialism and formalism but also within the cold war political and popular cultural frameworks that anticipate many of the concerns of contemporary art historians. Situating O'Hara within a range of debates about art's possible relations to its audience, Shaw demonstrates that his interest in coterie is less a symptomatic offshoot of his biography than a radical literary and artistic invention.
"Frank O'Hara: The Poetics of Coterie is an outstanding study of a remarkable, underrated poet and critic. Combining incisive reading of specific poems and critical pieces with astute insistence on more general theoretical issues involving historical context and rhetorical positioning, Shaw calls into question not only previous—often trivializing—evaluations of O'Hara and his work but also revises crucial mid-twentieth-century literary and artistic concepts like that of 'coterie' itself."—Linda Nochlin, Wallace Professor of Modern Art, New York University Institute of Fine Arts
