Home > Park management > Planning
Wellington Park is a special place, co-operatively managed by land owners, management agencies and the community. The natural and cultural values of the Park are preserved and enhanced through sound management and strategic planning.
Wellington Park was established under the Wellington Park Act in 1993. The Act sets up the Wellington Park Management Trust as the management authority of the Park and sets out the functions of the Trust. This includes preparation of a management plan for the Park. The current management plan is the Wellington Park Management Plan 2013 (amended October 2015).
The Trust, via the Wellington Park Management Plan and the Wellington Park Regulations 2019, ensures that all works undertaken within the Park are consistent with the purposes for which the Park is set aside.
Wellington Park includes a number of different land tenures (see map 7 of the Wellington Park Management Plan) including Crown land and freehold land owned by Hobart City Council and Glenorchy City Council. Based on these underlying tenures the Park has been divided into 3 zones of management responsibility (see Map 1 of the Management Plan). Within these areas the Hobart City Council, Glenorchy City Council and the Parks and Wildlife Service are responsible for on ground works and maintenance of Park infrastructure. TasWater maintains infrastructure to harvest raw water from a number of catchments in the Park. As well as undertaking on-ground management of their areas of the Park, these Park management agencies contribute technical and management expertise to the overall management of the Park. For more information on the role of the Trust please look at the Trust's Annual Report.
As well as the Wellington Park Management Plan the Wellington Park Management Trust also prepares and implements strategic and development plans and strategies that guide the management of the Park. A range of policies and protocols have also been developed based on the needs of the community.
Hard copies of Wellington Park Management Trust publications, policies and management plans are available from the Manager.
Contact the Manager for more information.

The Daily Briefing Friday, March 17, 2017
Kalyn Kramer of TheMMQB.com tracked down U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman who ruled against the NFL and for TOM BRADY in the matter known as Deflategate, only to see his widely-praised opinion rejected by a 2-1 vote by a panel from the First Circuit Court of Appeals. He actually is quite candid, including making it clear that the two judges that ruled for Roger Goodell did not convince him with their reasoning.
KAHLER: So, justice was served on the field, but do you think justice was served in the courtroom for Tom Brady?
BERMAN: No. I would decide the way I decided in the same way today. I mean, I couldn't actually, because the court of appeals has now had a precedent, but take that away, and I would go the same way. I would not change a thing.
I'm very comfortable with the proceedings at the courthouse and with my written opinion. I immediately made public the sealed (secret) proceedings from the NFL arbitration. Each side got a full opportunity to make their case publicly, both orally and in writing. I concluded that the NFL arbitration process was fundamentally flawed—principally because of lack of notice of the alleged infraction and of a potential four-game suspension; inappropriate comparison of football deflation to use of steroids; failure to allow Brady's counsel to question NFL general counsel [Jeff] Pash; and refusal to share with counsel the notes of witness interviews. The commissioner's arbitration award was not entitled to "deference" by the courts also because he had a personal stake in the outcome of the appeal. That is, he had an incurable conflict of interest, evident partiality, and could not possibly be fair … he was reviewing the discipline which he himself had imposed. Under these circumstances, the commissioner's appeal decision must be held to a much higher level of scrutiny by the courts.
KAHLER: How does it feel to be a footnote in NFL history?
BERMAN: It's fun. I have had other big cases. When I first started, I had this fabulous wine case. Not a criminal case, but a civil case, having to do with importation of wine from out of state, which was illegal in New York State. I ruled that that law was unconstitutional. I immediately got reversed 3-0 by the Second Circuit, but then it went to the Supreme Court and the Second Circuit got reversed 5-4. That case is in the same league as Deflategate. On the two occasions that I have had cases go to the Supremes after being reversed, they have been reversed. The wine case and Brady's case are up there for me. If you think about it, they are in areas that people are interested in, sports and alcohol.
KAHLER: Our business of football columnist, Andrew Brandt, covered the trial. He noticed that from the start of the NFL-NFLPA hearings, you seemed more favorable in commenting and asking questions to the Brady/NFLPA side and much more strident in questioning the NFL side. Was that from reading the briefs or from any personal feelings?
BERMAN: It was all based on the briefs. I know some of the questions you are talking about, and I couldn't quite get it. I remember I once said to the NFL side, "I'm having trouble finding the 'Gate' here." So I guess that was an expression of my true feelings. I didn't see what happened here that warranted a million dollars, two draft picks and a four-game suspension. It just didn't add up. And, being a judge, we are very concerned with process. The thought of the decider ruling on his own decision, it was just beyond me. Plus, I couldn't understand or didn't really get why they couldn't settle the case. So, if that's the way I came across, that is interesting. I don't remember it exactly, but I did have more questions of Goodell's side than I did of the other side.
KAHLER: How does it feel to have a decision overturned? Is it hard to get over that?
BERMAN: It's very disappointing. It helps that there was a dissent. [Chief Judge Howard Katzmann dissented in the Second Circuit's split, 2-1, decision]. Katzmann is someone I know quite well. I know them all, all three of them quite well. I'm in sync with what Katzmann had to say, but it is too bad. I like to win.
KAHLER: Was it hard to let this decision go after it was over?
BERMAN: A little bit, yeah, it took awhile. It took awhile, so the Super Bowl was good for me too.
After a couple of hiccups, JASON PIERRE-PAUL is on board with the Giants for four years. Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com:
Jason Pierre-Paul wanted a long-term deal, and Jason Pierre-Paul got a long-term deal.
With the deadline for converting his one-year franchise tender into a multi-year contract nearly four months away, the Giants and JPP got a deal done.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, it's a four-year deal with a base value of $62 million. Of that amount, $29 million is fully guaranteed at signing.
The cash flow is as follows: $22.5 million in 2017, $35 million through 2018, $49.5 million through 2019, and $62 million. Incentives can push the value of the contract to $66 million.
Pierre-Paul swapped his $16.9 million franchise tender in 2017 plus the possibility of a 44-percent increase if franchise-tagged again in 2018 or a 20-percent spike if transition tagged for $35 million over two years. His guaranteed money of $40 million (fully guaranteed at signing plus injury-only) covers the $37.18 million he would have made under the franchise tag this year and transition tag next year.
Also signing with the Giants is QB GENO SMITH who moves over from the Jets. Zac Jackson at ProFootballTalk.com:
Quarterback Geno Smith will sign with the Giants, ESPN reported Friday.
Smith, 26, started one game for the Jets last season but suffered a torn ACL during that game. He lost his starting job before the 2015 season after the now infamous punch thrown by then-teammate I.K. Enemkpali. Smith started all 16 games as a rookie in 2013 and started 13 games in 2014 for the Jets.
Smith visited the Giants last weekend. There were rumors that other teams had shown interest, but as long as Smith passes a physical he'll sign with the Giants.
The Giants also agreed to a deal with quarterback Josh Johnson on Friday. Smith suffered the torn ACL last October, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to compete for a roster spot at the beginning of training camp.
Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com on recent events with the Redskins:
Scot McCloughan won one battle in Washington in August 2015. If he'd won two, maybe—maybe—the Redskins wouldn't be in the mess they're wading through now.
The then-GM met for five hours one night that summer to try to convince owner Dan Snyder and president Bruce Allen that the time had come, and the team needed to move from Robert Griffin III to Kirk Cousins. Soon thereafter, with Cousins installed as starter, and believing he was in for a big year, McCloughan made a second appeal to the team's top brass.
Let's extend Cousins now, he told them, so we're not stuck holding the bag later.
In the end, the quarterback's lingering contract situation was one noticeable trigger in the explosion of the relationship between McCloughan and Allen, the team's top two decision-makers. Most people in Ashburn agree that the deterioration of the Allen/McCloughan partnership is why we're here. The root of that discord remains up for debate, however, and it might never be definitively settled.
We'll start, though, by explaining how Washington got back into a spot that's all too familiar, where organizational chaos envelops the football side of an operation and swallows whole the promise of a new day.
Full disclosure: I bought that promise 100 percent a year ago. My belief, having been around the Redskins, was that they had become as level as they had been at any point during Snyder's ownership. They had perhaps the top talent evaluator in football. They had an ascending, 40-something head coach with a strong, deep staff. They had a 27-year-old quarterback. They had an increasingly deep roster.
They were good in 2015—division champs and red-hot down the stretch—and poised to get better. Even a jaded fan base was climbing aboard.
A year later the GM is gone, coach Jay Gruden is replacing both his coordinators, the quarterback's future is murky, and D.C. Drama is back. And after talking with people at every level of the team who were there for the downturn, it's clear there is passionate disagreement over just what tore all that optimism to shreds.
On one side of this is the idea, floated to the Washington Post by an anonymous team source, that McCloughan's past demons—he's publicly talked about his fight with alcoholism—returned to bring him down over the last year. On the other side, there are players and coaches who deny ever having witnessed that, and argue that it is being used as a red herring to take attention off a power struggle between Allen and McCloughan.
"What's pissing me off is how everything is Scot's fault," said one veteran player. "This is not Scot's fault. Everyone here appreciates Scot. … Let's be honest, the issues are there, but he's never gotten in front of the team drunk or anything like that. Whoever is saying that needs to stop."
"If that was there, he did a good job of hiding it," said another player. "There was never a discussion about that, at least that I saw."
What those on the coaching and scouting staffs did see, eventually, was a blurring of lines that created a level of tension in the upper reaches of the club. There were, in particular, three flash points obvious to those not named Allen and McCloughan:
• The Cousins negotiation. At the close of training camp in 2015, McCloughan wanted to try to extend Cousins, but there was concern over how that would go over with Griffin, because some felt the team would still need him at some point. (Whether a fair figure could have been reached with Cousins is open for debate, considering the quarterback's inconsistent résumé and lack of success at that point.) Finally, that December, McCloughan was given the green light. By then, Cousins' camp wanted to wait until after the year.
After Cousins' hot finish, the Skins knew they'd have to franchise Cousins at around $20 million, which framed negotiations in a place where the team wasn't willing to go. Talks on a long-term deal got off to a rough start, and then control shifted from McCloughan to team negotiator Eric Schaffer. By the time 2016 was winding down, the GM had been removed completely from decision-making on Cousins.
To some inside the club, the use of the exclusive tag on Cousins was a surprise, since there'd been earlier discussion on potentially moving Cousins and going with Colt McCoy or signing someone like Mike Glennon. Point of all this? It's hard to say that this was necessarily where the problem began, but there's no question—based on the import of quarterback decisions—that it strained the relationship.
Su'a Cravens didn't play the final three Redskins games in 2016 due to a biceps injury.
• Su'a Cravens injury. The rookie safety/linebacker injured his biceps on Dec. 11 against the Eagles. Initially the team believed it was a tear. It wound up being a bruise, the kind players often play through. Cravens missed the following Monday's game against Carolina, and then the next game in Chicago on Christmas Eve.
By then, teammates, some of whom had seen him playing ping-pong at the facility, were openly wondering why he wasn't pushing through the injury. After he missed two games, the team wanted him to get the arm drained in an effort to play in Week 17. Cravens responded by not showing up to the facility for treatment that day, at which point McCloughan decided to call Cravens.
That didn't go over well with Allen. Some veterans felt McCloughan was simply trying to uphold the culture that he and Gruden had worked to build, which is seen as a "Seattle" thing (McCloughan worked for the Seahawks from 2011-13): If you see something, say something. But certainly there'd be some debate in the football world over whether it's a GM's place to handle those things. (Cravens sat out the finale.)
• Bashaud Breeland's outburst. At another point in December, the third-year corner—who'd been seen internally as moody following the Josh Norman signing—blew an assignment, and was called by a coach on it. He argued. The coach argued back. Then Breeland blew another assignment, took his helmet off and sat on a cooler on the sideline. From the perspective of the coaching staff, these sorts of squabbles with players were not uncommon.
But after practice, in the locker room, McCloughan saw Breeland coming out of the shower and bluntly told the third-year corner to come to his office after he was dressed. Word of the confrontation got around, and it led to another squabble in the front office over boundaries.
As was the case with Cravens, some players believed Breeland needed to be shaken and didn't mind McCloughan doing it. Clearly, others within the organization didn't think it was his place.
So the season ended with the Redskins losing a win-or-go-home game against the Giants on New Year's Day. Obviously, in the time since, things got worse. It's been theorized that Allen grew jealous of the credit McCloughan got for the team turning a few corners over the past two years. Conversely, there have been rumblings of dissatisfaction over McCloughan's 2016 draft and free-agent haul.
And there was more sinister talk, but few actual accounts, of McCloughan's drinking being a visible issue. "It was whispered about all the time," says one staffer, "but I never saw it, and I don't know anyone who did."
Maybe we eventually get more answers on what really happened. What I do know is that the conclusion predicted by some in Ashburn—Eventually, those people forecast, there would be problems over power and McCloughan's past issues would be raised as he departed—has come true.
This one really never was about Snyder, as far as I can tell. It was about Allen and McCloughan, two guys who entered into a partnership two years ago founded in large part on trust, based on Allen's history with McCloughan's father and brother, whom he'd worked with around the turn of the century in Oakland.
That trust, as you can see, didn't last long. And the Redskins are starting over. Again.
DL FROSTEE RUCKER is back with the Cardinals. Kyle Odegard at AzCardinals.com:
The Cardinals lost a veteran leader on the defensive line when Calais Campbell signed with the Jaguars, but brought another one back on Friday.
Frostee Rucker signed a one-year contract, returning to his role as a rotational player and a strong voice in the locker room.
"It's always been a blessing and a pleasure to be able to play here," Rucker said. "We want to win. That's why I came back."
Rucker, who will be 34 in September, didn't register a sack last season but had eight combined in the two seasons prior. Injuries have hampered him the last couple of years but Rucker still believes he can be a positive contributor when fully healthy.
"I've been working hard, and I'm going to continue to work very hard this whole spring and get back to where I left off a couple years ago — feeling good, feeling healthy, feeling fast and physical," Rucker said.
With Campbell's departure, the Cardinals will look for defensive tackles Robert Nkemdiche and Rodney Gunter to assume a bigger role in 2017. Rucker has led the younger players in his four previous years with the team, and will once again be counted on to mentor his younger position-mates in a crucial season for the defensive line.
"You guys call it leadership," Rucker said. "I just call it being myself."
The Seahawks have re-signed TE LUKE WILLSON on a one-year contract.
Oakland landed TE JARED COOK, who wants to take a number away from WR AMARI COOPER. Conor Orr at NFL.com:
Could there be a new No. 89 in Oakland?
New Raiders tight end Jared Cook, who has worn No. 89 each year since his rookie season in 2009, doesn't sound like a player unprepared to purchase his digits off Oakland's former first-round pick.
"I don't know," Cook said, via The Mercury News. "Me and (Cooper) are going to have to have a little conversation to see if I can get it off of him. Might have to bribe him a little bit, throw him like five bucks or something. We'll see if I can get it off his back."
Cook knows well that this will cost him much more than $5 and it's unlikely to happen, though one has to admire the 29-year-old tight end's bravado. After a miracle catch in Green Bay's playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys, Cook reportedly misjudged his market and priced himself out of Green Bay before taking visits to Minnesota and Seattle. Now, we're talking about him swiping a jersey from the team's budding star franchise receiver.
It's important to take these tidbits with a sense of humor, which I think Cook is. It's difficult for a franchise to sign off on a number change for someone so popular like Cooper, especially when so many young fans have already purchased the silver and black No. 89.
Of course, in this business you never know. A Cook/Derek Carr love fest has underscored the days following his signings. Should he exceed expectations, fans might be willing to just hand it over.
"We sat in on a meeting and watched some film together today," Cook said Thursday. "Love the kid, man. He's cool. He's a real down to earth guy.
"(I'm) just another weapon for Derek to use, man. To be able to stretch the field, get down to the secondary at a fast pace, create separations off different routes … it gives him a different elements to put the ball in different places and keep the chains moving."
The Raiders are also scheming to bring RB MARSHAWN LYNCH out of his year-long retirement. More from Conor Orr:
The stacked veteran running back market just received a jolt of intrigue: the potential reintroduction of Marshawn Lynch.
"Beast Mode" is being looked at as a potential option for the Oakland Raiders, a source informed of the team's interest told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Lynch, however, is retired and his playing rights are owned by the Seattle Seahawks. Rapoport also noted there is no indication the Raiders have contacted the Seahawks yet about Lynch.
Most importantly, Lynch hasn't said he wants to come out of retirement to play again. A source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo that Lynch has been keeping in shape and is mulling over the idea of coming back, but hasn't made any decisions.
KGMZ-FM in San Francisco first reported the development on Thursday.
Lynch turns 31 in a month, which makes Oakland's fascination all the more intriguing. They allowed 27-year-old Pro Bowler Latavius Murray to walk in free agency and have yet to eye up Adrian Peterson, who has expressed interest in playing for the Raiders in the past.
Instead, they are hoping to sign the hometown hero who has not played in a game since Jan. 17, 2016 — a playoff contest against the Carolina Panthers. In that game he carried the ball six times for 20 yards. In his last full season back in 2014, Lynch carried the ball 280 times for 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Still, the Raiders aren't in a strong position to orchestrate a potential trade with the Seahawks. As Rapoport noted, Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie isn't interested in giving up any decent draft picks and the team is saving money to eventually sign Derek Carr and Khalil Mack to long-term contracts.
This is a strange situation for the Raiders, who must have had some sort of intel that Lynch is remaining in shape without violating the league's tampering rules. According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, there were rumblings that Lynch might come out of retirement in 2016 and, at that time, Seattle had "no intention of letting him go without compensation." Rapoport added that the Raiders tried to trade for Lynch last year and it nearly happened, though the heralded power back opted to remain retired.
Has that changed with another year?
After Lynch's artful retirement announcement during Super Bowl 50, the tea leaves have suggested he still had some gas left in the tank.
If nothing else, this is a nice move by the Raiders to inject some hometown pride into their team amid a time of possible upheaval. Lynch has done philanthropic wonders in the bay area over the years and would probably jump at the chance to serve his fans on the football field as well. Now, the question becomes how the Raiders navigate all the red tape to make that happen.
The Chargers GM doesn't shut the door on a QB with the 7th overall pick. Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com:
Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco did not completely dismiss the possibility of selecting a quarterback with the team's No. 7 overall selection in this year's draft.
Of course, the Chargers already have a franchise quarterback in Philip Rivers. But with the NC State product turning 36 in December, some NFL observers wonder if it's time for the Chargers to draft Rivers' eventual replacement.
"We're very happy with Philip Rivers, and I think he's got a number of good years left in him," Telesco said in this interview with the NFL Network. "We can win with Philip, and we're happy with him. But since I've arrived here, we've always done a lot of work on the quarterbacks. You just have to.
"Even though we have our franchise quarterback, we always have to be looking toward the future. It's work we've done every year. We'll do work on all the quarterbacks. You never say never — you have to be prepared in this business, whether you're picking at No. 7 or if we trade back [into the first round], it's just hard to tell right now.
"We will scout every position like we don't have someone there, and we'll make determinations draft day on what we end up doing. But right now we're very happy with Philip. He's the leader of this football team, and we feel like we can win with him."
Telesco said the Chargers should have a training camp site selected by next week and that he has had conversations with Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead about the logistics of moving a team, with the Rams moving from St. Louis to Los Angeles last year.
Jack Wang of the Orange County Register reported that the Chargers have a 10-year agreement in place to use a park near the team's temporary headquarters in Costa Mesa for training camp. The contract still needs approval by the Costa Mesa City Council.
Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald marvels at Bill Belichick:
Bill Belichick prevails once again. That phrase is getting a little bit redundant but still worth repeating in the wake of recent events.
The Patriots coach and chief decision-maker had the Dont'a Hightower free agency situation pegged from the outset. No franchise or transition tag was necessary. He let his defensive captain take a stroll on the open market and find his worth, knowing no crazy money would be offered. At least, not by any desirable teams. The Hoodie was right, of course.
Of all the in-house free agents on the Pats' list, Belichick needed Hightower to remain. He was the top priority for the defending Super Bowl champions. There was no option in sight at linebacker who could provide all Hightower brings to the table.
Belichick figured no team would place as much value on Hightower, who's able to rush off the edge, blitz from the inside, stuff the run and cover running backs and tight ends in the Patriots system. No one values that kind of versatility as much as the coach who has five Super Bowl rings since 2001.
So there was no panic. Belichick knew the market, and he knew Hightower, who has been a winner his whole life.
The Jets? Really?
They might have showered him with a great offer, along with birthday cupcakes, but Hightower probably would rather eat nails than go there. Losing wasn't an option, and Belichick knew it.
So the Pats coach not only retained the most important free agent for his defense, he did it at a reasonable rate (four years, $43.5 million, $19 million guaranteed) while also adding some pieces around him.
Belichick has played all his cards right, from scoring cornerback Stephon Gilmore and wide receiver Brandin Cooks to swapping out tight end Martellus Bennett for the younger, cheaper Dwayne Allen. Defensive end Kony Ealy might be a sleeper, too, and thrive in this system.
Belichick has given new meaning to not standing pat or sitting on your laurels after winning a Super Bowl. He's been as aggressive, if not more, than he's been in any offseason.
We'll see what happens with Malcolm Butler, but even if the cornerback plays elsewhere next season, it's tough to question the master strategist
Right now, Belichick is toying with everyone. It's his house, his league, and everyone else is playing along for his amusement.
The Jets are putting out damage control that they were beaten for LB DONT'A HIGHTOWER because their doctors are smarter than New England's. Connor Hughes in the Newark Star-Ledger:
Money wasn't necessarily the reason the Jets dropped out of the Dont'a Hightower sweepstakes after his visit with the team Monday.
It appears general manager Mike Maccagnan was scared off by the linebacker's physical state.
Before Hightower took his trip to Florham Park, Maccagnan offered him a five-year contract worth roughly $55 million, a league source told NJ Advance Media. The deal could have earned a max value of $62.5 million if Hightower was active for every game during the five-year span, and made the Pro Bowl each year.
The contract offered by the Jets was significantly more than the one New England had on the table ($8.75 million per year), so Hightower visited with the team. It was here where things went bad.
After giving Hightower a physical, the Jets "were not comfortable" offering him a deal, the source said, confirming PFT's report from Thursday night. They never made a second offer, and were considered out of the running. Hightower then visited the Steelers on Tuesday, before re-signing with the Patriots on Wednesday.
Hightower's new contract with the Patriots is for four years and worth $43.5 million. The deal includes $19 million guaranteed.
Concerns with Hightower's health are legitimate. In his five-year career, he has played just one full season. He missed two games as a rookie, eight games total from 2014-2015, and three games last year.
If the Jets did sign Hightower, assuming he was healthy, he would have been an improvement on defense. Without him, though, the Jets linebacking situation is still solid.
Veteran David Harris will return, along with last year's first-round pick Darron Lee. Harris led the Jets with 95 tackles last season. Lee was second with 73.
The Jets have opted to sign CB MORRIS CLAIBORNE, the former Cowboy.
The New York Jets have identified their replacement for Darrelle Revis.
The Jets are signing former Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne to a one-year deal worth more than $5 million, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via a source informed of the situation.
Dallas will be in the market for secondary help in next month's cornerback-laden draft after losing both Claiborne and Brandon Carr in free agency.
Claiborne was ranked No. 44 overall in Around The NFL's list of the Top 101 free agents.
With Revis out of the picture, the former LSU star should slot in opposite Buster Skrine in the starting lineup.
Although Claiborne is coming off perhaps his finest season since being drafted No. 6 overall in 2012, it's telling that he played just seven games before going down with a serious groin injury that sidelined him until the postseason. He has played more than 11 games just once in five NFL seasons.
The Jets still have a lot of renovating to pull off if they're going to back up coach Todd Bowles' dubious contention that this is not a rebuilding campaign.
KAEP IN EXILE
After one full week on the market, Mike Freeman in Bleacher Report is sure there is only one reason that QB COLIN KAEPERNICK does not have a team:
It's more than a week into free agency and Colin Kaepernick is still unemployed. Remember, this is a quarterback who played in the Super Bowl only four years ago, yet now it appears he can't get a look from teams. So I set out to discover, once and for all, what teams think of the 29-year-old former Niner.
"He can still play at a high level," one AFC general manager said. "The problem is three things are happening with him.
"First, some teams genuinely believe that he can't play. They think he's shot. I'd put that number around 20 percent.
"Second, some teams fear the backlash from fans after getting him. They think there might be protests or [President Donald] Trump will tweet about the team. I'd say that number is around 10 percent. Then there's another 10 percent that has a mix of those feelings.
"Third, the rest genuinely hate him and can't stand what he did [kneeling for the national anthem]. They want nothing to do with him. They won't move on. They think showing no interest is a form of punishment. I think some teams also want to use Kaepernick as a cautionary tale to stop other players in the future from doing what he did."
When I spoke to a handful of executives at the combine a few weeks ago, one even called him "an embarrassment to football."
For the moment, the interest in Kaepernick is slim, and that's putting it kindly.
It's possible teams are waiting for the right time to make their play for him. That's sometimes how it works in free agency. Weeks or months will go by with little interest in a player and then, boom, it all heats up at once.
But what's happening with Kaepernick is highly unusual. So far, it seems he hasn't visited a single team. I can't find a quarterback-needy team that's interested. Again, things can change quickly, but the silence is deafening.
From a football perspective, teams worry about Kaepernick's throwing accuracy. He still has some difficulty hitting tight windows and sometimes runs even when receivers are open. In 2016, Kaepernick connected on 59.2 percent of his passes, which ranked 26th in the league.
There's also the perception—a wrong one—that he has difficulty learning new schemes.
And if those weren't enough, concerns linger that he is moody and not a good teammate. That belief also may not be accurate. From speaking to 49ers players about Kaepernick, it's clear most of the San Francisco locker room liked him.
Kaepernick can take hope in how putrid the quarterback market is. When Jay Cutler is at the top of the heap, that says it all.
There are still teams desperate for a competent QB, so much so that one eventually will find the risk in signing Kaepernick is worth any potential backlash. That's my guess.
Still, it's hard to emphasize how unusual Kaepernick's current situation is. If a Super Bowl quarterback can walk and chew bubble gum simultaneously, he gets opportunities. Those opportunities usually arrive until that player is totally and completely done. That's not the case with Kaepernick.
Four years ago, he ran for a playoff-record 181 yards and two scores at Green Bay as the 49ers beat the Packers in a divisional playoff game, 45-31. The Niners would then go to Atlanta and upset the Falcons in the NFC title game before losing Super Bowl XLVII to the Ravens when a last-gasp drive fell five yards short. Throughout those playoffs, Kaepernick was more than capable, completing 61.3 percent of his passes, throwing only two interceptions and producing a combined quarterback rating of 100.9.
Guys like that get multiple shots.
Further adding to the intrigue is that teams understand Kaepernick hasn't been playing with a great deal of talent around him recently. The 49ers, frankly, have been a dumpster fire the past few years, and it showed with some of the players with which the team surrounded their QB.
Despite all of that, his phone is not ringing off the hook. Or at all, for that matter.
Kaepernick's new agents appear to have foreseen all of this, which is why it wasn't surprising when sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Kaepernick would start standing for the anthem.
Now, he sits. Waiting and waiting. A still-talented player whose political statement may have cost him his NFL career.
Apparently there was a team interested in Kaepernick, if 49ers GM John Lynch is to be believed. Eric Branch in the San Francisco Chronicle:
The free-agent market for Colin Kaepenrick has seemingly been nonexistent, but general manager John Lynch said today that the 49ers quarterback nearly signed with another team last week.
Lynch, speaking on KNBR, said Kaepernick was close to signing a deal around the time the 49ers added quarterback Matt Barkley on March 10, the second day of free agency.
"I don't know what happened to that market (for Kaepernick) because when we added our second guy, at that time, I can just tell you, you learn things," Lynch said. "And he was in everyone's mind in this league very close to signing a deal with a team at a really good number. And it fell through, apparently."
Lynch said the 49ers hadn't officially shut the door on re-signing Kaepernick, but acknowledged the signings of Barkley and Brian Hoyer made such a scenario unlikely.
"I think the likelihood of it happening has probably gone down significantly," Lynch said. "But we're not going to close our mind or options on anyone, including him."
Kaep is not just sitting idly by waiting for the phone to ring. He's doing good work in the nation of Somalia. Dan Hanzus at NFL.com:
Colin Kaepernick is currently without a gig in the NFL. This might not change any time soon. But the man is not sitting on the couch staring at his phone.
The free agent quarterback is part of a group of activists who have been campaigning to send life-saving food, water and aid to famine-endangered citizens in the African country of Somalia. Kaepernick's group scored a major victory on Friday when Turkish Airlines agreed to donate a 60-ton cargo plane to transfer goods for the humanitarian mission.
An obviously thrilled Kaepernick used his Twitter account to deliver the good news.
ESPN may be about to hemorrhage a significant number of on-air talent due to declining subscribers – but that didn't stop them from adding Rex Ryan. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News thinks it is a swell move:
The most entertaining NFL coach of this generation is taking his talents to Bristol.
The Daily News has learned that ESPN signed Rex Ryan to a multi-year deal to be on Sunday NFL Countdown.
The iconoclastic former Jets and Bills coach appeared on the show on Super Bowl Sunday last month before going all-in with the World Wide Leader.
Ryan's football insight coupled with his candor should provide an intriguing dimensions to ESPN's top pregame show.
His Xs and Os breakdown of how he would have covered Falcons All-Pro Julio Jones in Super Bowl LI was a glimpse of what he'll be able to offer. His charisma and tell-it-like-is style will resonate with viewers.
"I got an opportunity in front of me that a lot of guys don't get," Ryan told the Daily News in January in the run-up to his ESPN appearance on Super Bowl Sunday. "I'm going to see where it takes me. Maybe this a different career and I really enjoy it. I'm hoping that's the way it is. Maybe I get into (it) and I don't like it. Maybe they don't like me. Maybe I go back to doing something I love, which is coaching. I'll never say never. I'm a young guy still. … I'm healthy. But bitter? Nah. Not bitter, man. I'm really not."
Ryan, who still has about $16.5 million owed to him on the final three years of his Buffalo contract, could carve out a long-time role in television if he wants. TV executives were vying for his services after the Jets fired him after the 2014 season.
Ryan was unceremoniously dumped by the Bills less than two years into his blockbuster five-year deal. His decision not to bench starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor for the season finale against the Jets was the final straw. (The Bills, by the way, ultimately decided to keep Ryan's quarterback of choice on a restructured deal).
Ryan, who has more playoff wins (four) than any coach in Jets history, went to back-to-back AFC Championship Games in his first two seasons before missing the playoffs in his final four. He went 50-52 in six years before being replaced by Todd Bowles.
Ryan told the News in January that he hasn't abandoned his goal to hoist the Lombardi Trophy as a head coach, but admitted that he wants a legitimate opportunity to succeed after the Bills prematurely pulled the plug on him.
"The one thing about (being on TV) is that you don't lose," Ryan told the News in January. "You'll remember every damn loss. But the wins? You don't necessarily remember. So, it takes a lot out of you. I'm tired of getting f—ked. Unless it's a real situation, there's no sense of getting into it again."
In the meantime, he'll share stories and provide analysis to the viewing audience.
If Ryan is himself, he's destined to be a hit.
Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News finds it hard to believe that QB DeSHAUN WATSON has doubters among the scouting/media conglomerate:
Deshaun Watson didn't do much at Clemson's Pro Day on Thursday to help or hurt his stock as the potential top quarterback prospect in the 2017 NFL Draft.
But running around and throwing lasers again to his college go-to guys at wide receiver and tight end provided a reminder of his greatest, most immeasurable asset vs. any other QB in the class — he's the only one who can boast that he's fresh off leading a team to a national championship.
Watson's "wow" factors, his athleticism and arm, were on display as expected, but so were his issues with efficiency, footwork and mechanics, things he'll need to iron out.
But his college coach, Dabo Swinney, wanted to make sure all the evaluators in attendance representing quarterback-needy NFL teams saw what they couldn't see with Watson.
"It's what's inside of him, it's what's in between his ears, it's type of young man he is," Swinney said. "He's chemistry, Day 1. He's leadership, Day 1. He changes the locker room, Day 1. He impacts free agency, Day 1. He makes everybody better, Day 1."
That's exactly what you'd expect Swinney to say about the player who took his program to new heights and helped stamp his own legacy as one of the greatest modern offensive coaches.
But he's absolutely right that winning, even though measurable, keeps getting overlooked as a tangible attribute.
"I don't know how to articulate the greatness that's inside of him," Swinney said of once comparing Watson to Michael Jordan. "To me, that's what Michael Jordan represents, because that's what I grew up with. I'm sure when Michael Jordan was coming out of North Carolina, his 3-pointer wasn't very good and he had some flaws when you started poking holes on him. But it was who he was, it's that will, that drive — you can't coach that.
"That's what I want to make sure I articulate. (Watson is) always the same with his character and integrity, and he's at his best in the biggest moment."
Watson led the Tigers to two consecutive trips to the College Football Playoff final after dominating the ACC, the same conference in which North Carolina's Mitchell Trubisky started for one season. Watson also outplayed Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer in the same game, in the same rain, against a semi-conference rival, during the latter's better of two seasons.
There can be a lot of ways in which NFL teams keep knocking Watson and moving him down their boards, much like every single flawed young QB who comes into the league. When weighing all things, however, nothing weighs as heavily in his favor as the kind of experience every team on every level covets most.
Swinney believes that gives Watson a chance to go as high as No. 1 overall, above any player at any position.
"He's got plenty of consideration. He won't be sitting there long," Swinney said. "Don't buy all the stuff you hear. Wherever he goes, he will be great. They'll all figure it out."

Q: Necessary but not sufficient in logic I am working through sample questions and am having a bit of trouble understanding the solution.
Write using logical connectives:
p : Grizzly bears have been seen in the area.
q : Hiking is safe on the trail.
r : Berries are ripe along the trail.
For hiking on the trail to be safe, it is necessary but not
sufficient that berries not be ripe along the trail and
for grizzly bears not to have been seen in the area.
I came up with
$$q \rightarrow(\lnot r \land \lnot p)$$
However, the solution is
$$q \rightarrow (\lnot r \land \lnot p) \land \lnot((\lnot r\land \lnot p)\rightarrow q)$$
I am wondering why the attached part is required. I guess my problem would be with understanding the question at hand. Would the last two propositions be sufficient enough for the first proposition to be true, are they both together still insufficient?
Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

A:
For hiking on the trail to be safe, it is necessary but not sufficient that berries not be ripe along the trail and for grizzly bears not to have been seen in the area.

$$(\underbrace{(\lnot r \land \lnot p)\leftarrow q}_{\text{it is neccessary}}) \underbrace{\land}_{\text{and/but}} (\underbrace{\lnot((\lnot r\land \lnot p)\rightarrow q)}_{\text{it is not sufficient}})$$

A: "For $\;P\;$, it is necessary that $\;Q\;$" formally translates to $\;P \implies Q\;$, and "for $\;P\;$, it is sufficient that $\;Q\;$" translates to $\;Q \implies P\;$.
Therefore "for $\;P\;$, it is necessary but not sufficient that $\;Q\;$" is $\;(P \implies Q) \land \lnot (Q \implies P)\;$, which exactly matches the solution you were given.  And it is an exercise in propositional logic to see that this expression can be simplified to $\;\lnot (Q \implies P)\;$ (i.e., "for $\;P\;$, it is not sufficient that $\;Q\;$") which can be further simplified to $\;\lnot P \land Q\;$.
(As an aside, this shows that the "necessary" part is superfluous in "necessary but not sufficient".)
So in your case, $\;P := q\;$ and $\;Q := \lnot r \land \lnot p\;$, and therefore "for $\;q\;$, it is necessary but not sufficient that $\;\lnot r \land \lnot p\;$" translates to $\;\lnot q \land \lnot r \land \lnot p\;$, so that is your answer.
Finally, note the solution that you were given $\;(q \rightarrow (\lnot r \land \lnot p)) \;\land\; \lnot((\lnot r\land \lnot p)\rightarrow q)\;$ is just a more complex way of writing $\;\lnot q \land \lnot r \land \lnot p\;$.

A: Your interpretation about insufficiency is correct. The attached part is to discount sufficiency; i.e., the converse is not true. If the original statement had only been "it is necessary that berries...", then your original solution would apply.

A: This is a great problem. I've long forgotten how fun this stuff can be.
I believe the longer solution is correct because even though there are no bears and no berries, that is not sufficient for safety to be realized.
I would read the correct solution as:
"There is safety when there are no bears and no berries AND when other danger-causing variables (other than bears and berries) are eliminated."

A: When you say "Q is necessary for P to be true" , that is ( P--> Q) you rule out only one row in the truth table, that is , you exclude the case in which P is true and Q is false.
It means that the cases ( T,T) and ( F,F) are still possible.
But these cases are the two remaining ones ( out of the 3 cases that are still available) in which " Q is sufficient for P to be true" is true, that is ( Q--> P).
So, "being necessary for P" does not by itself imply " not being sufficiency".
This is why " Q is necessary but not sufficient" says more than simply " Q is necessary".
This is also why " Q is not sufficient" has to be added , via a conjunct.
The conjunct rules out the (T,T) case and the ( F,F) case.
Note : in the ordered pairs I wrote, the first truth vale is the possible value of P, the second one is the possible value of Q.

A:
For hiking on the trail to be safe, it is necessary but not sufficient that berries not be ripe along the trail and for grizzly bears not to have been seen in the area.

This is a bit vague. Do ripe berries on their own really pose a threat to hikers? Or is it the combination of bears and berries that is dangerous?
Unless this is some kind of trick question, I think the author meant: If the berries are ripe along the trail ($r$) and grizzly bears have been seen in the area ($p$), then hiking is not safe on the trail ($\neg q$). (Bears eat berries. Berries alone are seldom dangerous.)
If this is the case, the answer should be:$$r\land p\implies \neg q$$or equivalently  $$q\implies \neg r \lor \neg p$$

ISMB 2008 will bring together Bioinformaticians and Computational Biologists working in a wide range of disciplines, including molecular biology, biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics. Papers that demonstrate both the development of new computational techniques AND their application to Molecular and Systems Biology, with significant outcomes to biomedical, agricultural, and environmental questions are especially encouraged.
New techniques are especially encouraged. Existing relevant computational techniques include, but are not limited to: machine learning; data mining; text analysis; pattern recognition; knowledge representation; databases; data modeling; combinatorics; stochastic modeling; string and graph algorithms; linguistic methods; robotics; constraint satisfaction; data visualization; parallel computation; data integration; modelling and simulation.
Papers will be assigned to an Area and three reviews sought. Accepted papers will be published as conference proceedings in an open access, online-only, section of a regular issue of the Bioinformatics journal with CDs distributed to conference delegates. Printed proceedings will be available for pre-order purchase during the online conference registration until June 4, 2008. The proceedings will be available online approximately one month prior to the conference opening.
Publication of the proceedings as an online part of the Bioinformatics journal will result in fully citable articles, indexed by Medline and ISI. See the conference proceedings of ISMB 2006 or ISMB/ECCB 2007 for an example of online-only publication by Oxford University Press.
If absolutely necessary, submissions can be accompanied by supplementary material, similar to submissions to scientific journals. The supplementary material should be collected in separate files that are appropriately marked. However, we advise against adding supplementary material, in general. Supplementary material will be published on the proceedings site alongside the online version of the conference paper. We do not support supplementary material presented at any other than the publisher's site. Additionally, OUP does not edit or typeset supplementary data - it is uploaded online exactly as it is received, so authors must ensure its accuracy before submitting.
Papers should be submitted in their final form since the evaluation procedure does not allow for additional rounds of refinement / modification in response to referee criticisms. Poor quality submissions or insufficiently prepared papers are very often rejected.
Papers will be accepted electronically at the submission site in PDF format only.
Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work. At the time the paper is submitted to ISMB 2008, and for the entire review period, the paper should not be under review by any other conference or scientific journal.
The deadline for ISMB 2008 paper submissions is Wednesday, January 16, 2008. (You have until 11.59 p.m. in the time zone of your choice. This means that the submission server will be closed at noon, 11:59 am GMT (UTC+0), January 17, 2008).
Notification of acceptance will be provided by e-mail no later than Wednesday, March 19, 2008. Final, corrected versions of accepted papers, which must conform to the formatting guidelines available when the paper is accepted, are due no later than March 30, 2008. Details of the submission process and format of accepted papers will be provided at the time of paper acceptance. Papers not accepted may be resubmitted as a "regular conference poster" until March 26, 2008 or as a "late conference poster" until May 21, 2008. Poster information is available here.
For questions concerning the scientific content of submissions, please contact papers08@ismbconf.org.

Q: Which is correct: "methods of ID check" or "methods of ID checking"? I'm writing some text that explains three different ways of carrying out an ID check. Would the section heading read "Methods of ID check" or "Methods of ID checking"?
If someone could explain the reasoning behind the answer that would be great. For some reason I can't get my head around this.
Thanks in advance.

When oh when are we going to be rid of all of these damned roadworks in and around Oakham in Rutland. I see they have now dug up Cold Overton road and installed three way traffic lights.
For the past thirteen or fourteen months we in the Rutland county town of Oakham have had to endure all sorts of traffic hold-ups associated with all of the roadworks that have been taking place in this now damned town.
What was once a beautiful town that was a pleasure to visit and shop in has gradually been destroyed. There is no beauty now, only holes and workmen peering into them.
Not only do we have to suffer the traffic problems caused by these roadworks. We have to put up with driving around a building site on the north side of the town. More traffic lights, more disruption, more aggravation.
Even more disruption is caused avoiding Pillings Road driving extra miles to get onto the bypass. Very nearly into Langham in fact, providing you can get past the building works that is.
Then, when all of the vehicles are stationary, the railway barriers descend to make sure the town is gridlocked.
With all of the traffic being disrupted rat runs are being used, especially by the big lorries. I have witnessed articulated vehicles going up and down Welland Way. Some going up Brooke Road towards Mill Street and others going in the other direction to get onto Braunston road.

            [20] => 8
      )
)

what I want my post to return is simply a list of objects that each contain these 3 elements:
something like this:
Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [date] => 2021-08-01
            [evid] => 8
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [date] => 2021-08-02
            [evid] => 8
        )

    [2] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [date] => 2021-08-03
            [evid] => 8
        )

    [3] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [date] => 2021-08-04
            [evid] => 8
        )

    [4] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [date] => 2021-08-05
            [evid] => 8
        )

    [5] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [date] => 2021-08-06
            [evid] => 8
        )

    [6] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [date] => 2021-08-07
            [evid] => 8
        )

it is important to me because each object is later sent to my database as such. it will be much harder to split this array and send it like so. This is the best explanation i can come up with. Any info on how to make a form return an object?

A: instead of using "dan[]" as the input name for 'id', 'date' and 'avid' you can group these input values like so:
dan[0][id]
dan[0][date]
dan[0][evid]

dan[1][id]
dan[1][date]
dan[1][evid]

If I fill in your code, it looks something like this:
<?php foreach ($DATA['evidencija'] as $k=>$evidencija): ?>
    ....
    <input type="hidden" name="dan[<?php echo $k; ?>][id]" id="id"...
    <input type="hidden" name="dan[<?php echo $k; ?>][date]" id="date" ...
    <input type="text" name="dan[<?php echo $k; ?>][evid]" id="evid"

This will result in an array like this:
Array
(
    [dan] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                     [id] => 1
                     [date] => xxx
                     [evid] => xxx
                 )
         )
)

Spatial and Seasonal Characteristics of Inorganic Chemicals in Armağanköy Dam Water, Thrace Region
Füsun Ekmekyapar1, Ahmet Serhat Akar2
1. Department of Environmental Engineering, Namık Kemal University, 59860, Tekirdağ, Turkey.
2. Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, Namık Kemal University, 59860, Tekirdağ, Turkey.
Abstract: The study provides a baseline for the assessment of the inorganic pollution specially, metal contamination in the water Armağanköy dam, Ergene River basin. A survey of inorganic chemicals was performed in water samples collected in Armağanköy dam reservoirs during 2015. Water samples from six sampling sites were collected and analyzed for 10 different water quality parameters. Using these data, a regional irrigation water quality was assessed using one technique: United States Department of Agriculture Method (USDA). This method revealed that the dam water salinity, as represented by electrical conductivity, ECw, ranges from low salinity (C1: ECw < 250 micromhos cm–1) to medium salinity (C2: ECw < 750 micromhos cm–1). The sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) is low (S1) sodicity. Therefore, the water of the dam is dominantly of the C2–S1 class and C1–S1 classes at the sampling site of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 5, respectively. Inorganic analyses were performed according to USEPA method. The cation concentrations are gradually decreases from the February towards the April. Cu2+ and Mo2+ displayed higher values in the dry season, while higher values for Fe2+ and Mn2+ in the wet season. The concentrations of Fe2+, Mn2+ and Mo2+ are generally higher than the other sampling sites at the sampling sites 1 and 6. Correlation analyses showed that metal content of Armağanköy dam water was affected by pH, ECw and TSS. The heavy metal concentrations in the water samples from the dam reservoirs followed the order: Mn2+ > Fe2+ > Mo2+ > Cu2+.
Keywords: Hydrochemistry, dam waters quality, irrigation, inorganic chemicals, heavy metals.

La famille des héliornithidés (ou Heliornithidae) comprend les 3 espèces de grébifoulques, oiseaux aquatiques de taille moyenne (26 à 59 cm), aux pattes palmées vivement colorées.
On les trouve dans les régions tropicales d'Amérique, d'Afrique et d'Asie du Sud-Est, où ils vivent en bordure des cours d'eau à courants faibles, des lacs et des marais, des estuaires avec de préférence pour une végétation épaisse.

Le bec assez long fait penser à celui du râle, le long cou et les pattes courtes insérées très en arrière du corps avec les lobes aplatis bordant les doigts ressemblent à ceux des grèbes. Le long cou mince, la position de nage et la longue queue graduée aux rectrices raides évoquent aussi la silhouette du cormoran ou de l'anhinga. Les pieds placés en arrière du corps favorisent la propulsion mais donnent sur terre une allure horizontale à l'oiseau. Les héliornithidés courent facilement et atterrissent quand ils sont poursuivis. Ils nagent en hochant la tête ; ces mouvements paraissent synchronisés avec ceux des pattes.

Liste des genres et des espèces
D'après la classification de référence (version 5.1, 2015) du Congrès ornithologique international (ordre phylogénique) :
 Podica Lesson, 1831
 Podica senegalensis (Vieillot, 1817) – Grébifoulque d'Afrique
 Heliopais Sharpe, 1893
 Heliopais personatus (G.R. Gray, 1849) – Grébifoulque d'Asie

Windows 1252 (CP1252, Windows-1252, Windows CP1252, Windows Latin Western, Windows Latin, Windows ANSI) is a character encoding used in Microsoft Windows systems, particularly English-language installations. It is one of the Windows encodings. It includes all the printable characters of ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) (plus the ASCII control characters of the C0 controls), as well as additional characters in the range 128-159, which in ISO 8859 is reserved for control characters of the C1 controls. It's often falsely claimed to be an ANSI standard.
Websites and e-mail messages often mistakenly use headers and parameters claiming a document or message to be in ISO-8859-1 when it actually uses characters that are part of Windows 1252. Bogus numeric character references in HTML, in the range of &128; through &159;, will also sometimes turn up, usually extruded by misbehaving web-authoring programs, when such references are intended by the standards to be Unicode code positions, not codes from a system-specific encoding. The Windows 1252 characters in this range, including curly quotes and apostrophes and the ellipsis, turn up often in Web documents and have proper codings elsewhere in Unicode. (But note that HTML 5 sidesteps this issue, by not really supporting ISO-8859-1 at all. Instead, "iso-8859-1" and many other encoding names are to be treated as aliases of Windows 1252.)

Q: Factory method to create a stream object (TCP, serial) from an URI Context
I'm writing a C# program that communicates with some hardware, some via direct serial link, some via a TCP/IP socket.
Serial and TCP sockets are basically byte streams, especially if you don't deal with specific parameters like hardware flow control.
Need
Common code: solved
For convenience, I'd like the same code to be able to switch between serial and TCP stream through simple configuration.
From a software design point of view, it's a matter of getting a common object in all cases and using only that in client code.  In C# one can get a Stream object from:

*

*an http URL (ref. c# - Getting a Stream from an absolute path? - Stack Overflow )

*a SerialPort instance using the SerialPort.BaseStream Property

*a TcpClient instance using the TcpClient.GetStream, méthode (System.Net.Sockets)
So far so good.
Switch via configuration: missing link ?
Now how to represent the different cases in configuration ? URIs would be nice.
I'm aware that the URIs would not be portable, that's okay, a configuration file may be different on different platforms.
This discussion Boost mailing page: Re: [boost] Re: [network] An RFC - updated mentions how a URL can represent such streams:
server.address=tcp4:/www.example.com:5757
server.address=com1:/57600,n,8,1

20-sim 4C Builds says:
serial://com1?baud=115200

like Serial Connection Problem on IF2 with advanced BR... - Intermec Community.

Edit: reading RFC 2396 - Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax it looks that the strings below would be more consistent:
serial://com1?baud=9600
serial:///dev/ttyS0?baud=9600
tcp://servernameorip:port

(End edit)

It would be nice to have a configuration file mention an URI with tcp or serial parameters and have code instantiate the correct concrete class.  In design patterns parlance this is called a factory method.
It would be used like this:
Stream mystream1=MyFactoryClass.GetStream("com1:/57600,n,8,1");
Stream mystream2=MyFactoryClass.GetStream("tcp4:/www.example.com:5757");

I can't find this on the internet or documentation.  URIs mentioning serial ports seem rare, another example: Using Network Printers - CUPS.org
Question
Does anyone know if such an open-source factory class already exists ?
It's not that long to do, but if it already exists it's better not to reinvent it.

A: It does not exist, but I believe the built-in Uri class supports custom schemes.
Consider doing it like the .NET Framework often does. The config file would specify a type name and a few string arguments. I don't see the need for URIs here.

Did you get anything back on this Joon?
Interesting you say 'we were caught in a blanket attack'. Were any Khmer news sites affected? (They were the source of most of the photos).
DDoS attack, uses many devices and multiple Internet connections, often distributed globally into what is referred to as a botnet. A DDoS attack is, therefore, much harder to deflect, simply because there is no single attacker to defend from, as the targeted resource will be flooded with requests from many hundreds and thousands of multiple sources.
DoS is getting in a fist fight.

K440 seems to be down again as of around 4.40 am ish (!). What did they do this time? I just logged on and was going through the new posts on the "Cambodia is overpriced thread' is it somewhere in that? is it another death-pat thread ? Or could it just been site maintenance?

I have always liked "Visions of Johanna" a lot and I would even regard it as my favourite song right now. For some reason I cannot get enough of it at the moment. Actually, it is kind of funny how a song can change its meaning for you over the years. I think I have come up with a dozen of different interpretations of this song in the last couple of years and every time I listen to it I discover another way of looking at it. It surely is an amazing song.
My favorite version right now is the performance in Stirling (Scotland) on 13 July 2001. Even though Dylan messes up two lines, it is still a lovely rendition in my opinion. The sound of the acoustic guitars (in particular Larry Campbell's) is beautiful and Tony's bass playing is great as well. Jeez, even Bob himself plays some nice guitar melodies which do not make you want to cover your ears. Late at night, I like to sit down in my darkened room, throw in my earphones, close my eyes and let this performance wash over me a couple of times. It is fantastic!
Actually, I would love to turn this song into a short movie. I can picture the entire thing in my head and it looks so beautiful. I know where I would position the cameras and all, but unfortunately I do not have the necessary equipment and actors to put it into practice. Oh well, maybe someday.
Sorry to put a downer on your fantasy, but I was there for that performance. It was raining hard, the so-called Castle venue was the car park out back (with the added romance of burger vans every few yards), the crowd were pretty miserable and the show was quite shit - 'Visions' especially.
But hey.

Fair enough. Beauty is in the ear of the beholder, I suppose. I was not at that show, just had a look at the video and enjoyed it quite a bit. However, now I am curious, is there any version of "Visions of Johanna" (preferably acoustic) from the NET which you like?

Bennyboy, you make an interesting point and, in one form or another, its been discussed previously... but here we go again...
Some shows appear to be "flat" when sitting in the audience for any number of reasons while the bootleg of the show seems to reveal a pretty good or even great show. On other the other hand, shows sometimes receive "glowing" reviews as the greatest show since (fill in the blank) while the bootleg doesn't reveal anything of the sort.
I last saw Bob in 2005... and considered it a great show from start to finish... everything about it... setlist, band, arrangements, etc... I got the show when it became available. A couple songs, were a bit different, more dynamic than I had remembered them. A couple songs that absolutely blew me away at the show... sound good, but run of the 2005-Spring-Tour-mill. I still like the show a lot and while the recording is very good, it doesn't completely reflect the experience of being there.
I'm sure the location of the taper has something to do with it as well as the mood or expectations of the person listening. Its extremely rare that I hear a NET show that doesn't contain a gem somewhere in it but there have been many a recording that did not live up to the hype of the reviews.
There were some very good performances of Visions of Johanna in 2001... I'll have to go back and listen to Stirling to hear what's happening.
No, not really. Its such a majestic, mysterious song that to do it justice requires a concentration and focus and angled pitch of delivery from Dylan that he hasn't been able to muster since the mid 70s. Call me a song snob, but virtually all NET 'Visions' make me feel Bob is spitting on his iconic creation. He did do it acoustically in mid '95 and I thought that version had promise, but he never took it where it needed to go.
I stick to the '66 versions - doesn't get better than this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NacOD8giFAY
with the odd foray into '76 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0bT75elcdE- rubbish sound but romantic as all hell)
Like the Old Milwaukee Light Beer commercial... "It doesn't get any better than this"... the stuff so bad it would gag a maggot!
If that were really true, we may as well initiate the nuclear holocaust now and get it over with.
*** A side note... listen to New Morning from Stuttgart '91... even that's better.

You are now the third ER-member who has told me in the last couple of days that the '66 versions of "Visions of Johanna" are the best. I am really starting to think that I am probably deaf because I do not see (or hear) the magnificence of these performances. I have tried a couple of times, but I simply cannot relate to the supposed greatness of the '66 tour at all. On the one hand, Dylan reduces the musical component of this song significantly. I mean, his sparse use of the guitar does obviously not create a rich tapestry of sound, right? Thus, the vocals come to the fore and are more important, and so far, that is completely fine with me. Actually, I welcome that. However, I do not consider Dylan's vocals in these performances to be as great as everyone says. To me it seems as if a stoned guy (no offense, Bob!) halfheartedly mumbles and talks his way through the lyrics, just to randomly over-pronounce every other word. I mean, why is it necessary to lengthen random syllables? Why does he have to sing, "He speaks of a farewell kiss to meeeeeeeeeeeeee"? Apparently many people like that. For me, however, this exaggerated way of pronouncing certain words ruins the entire atmosphere of the song.
I know the '76 Rolling Thunder version of "Visions" which you have posted. However, every time I listen to it, I ask myself, "Why does he have to scream certain phrases?" … "Little boy lost, he takes himself sOOOO SEEEEERIOUSLYYYYYYY" … meh. Is that what you consider "romantic as all hell"? By the way, (and that's not Dylan's fault), the constant mumbling coming from the audience does not make this performance any better. Seriously, if you are at a concert, shut up during the songs, for crying out loud!
The 1995 acoustic version of "Visions" from Philly is nice though. Could be better, could be worse, but all in all, it is all right.
Of course the 2001 versions are not the ideal solution either. The singing could be better indeed. So far I have only listened to the Stirling and Liverpool shows and every time he screws up some lines. However, at least there is some nice guitar playing by Charlie Sexton and Larry Campbell which compensates for these flaws.
My highlighting above.
See, this is what I dont get. Who cares what the fucking hired hand guitar player is doing, when Bob Dylan - the man who wrote and sang the song so perfectly in 1966 - is x up the words or mauling them in his mouth before belching them out?
As Larry Eden - may he rest in peace - used to say, you don't go to your favourite Indian takeaway to look at the light fittings.

My opinion regarding the '66 acoustic versions is this: The song had just recently been written and recorded. No matter how hard I try, I just can not imagine or hear any other version being supreme to the live '66 acoustic versions, followed immeasurably closely by the studio cut. Those versions are being delivered almost from the very place they had been written. The immediacy of those thought dreams, even listening almost fifty years later is palpable, at least for me. I do believe it is possible to recapture that feeling in later performances to a degree, otherwise what would be the point of ever performing songs, but twenty or thirty years later you have a very different person relating the song with years and miles of experiences that influence that feeling.

I've never really been attracted to the song - it's always struck me as long, tedious, and boring. I should make another attempt.

Try the one I posted several hours ago, the singing isn't as exaggerated.

Visions is so nuanced, I doubt whether he's ever performed it anywhere near as well as he did in '66. Those live performances were incredible anyway, but especially so, because as intoxicated as he was, he gave every syllable maximum utmost attention and care. It's not LARS or ATW, two perpetual stalwarts that can get thrashed out, night after night, at RaspBlast Mach 5. '66 was perhaps the one and only year for Visions, and that makes it all the more treasurable.

Pardon me, but...
No offense intended but any '66 Dylan just turns my stomach...

I think we need Harmonica Albert and his vintage Telecaster.

I'll admit I no longer care much for the live '66 versions, I used to love them, especially Dublin ("This is called Visions of JoHanna") but the extremely mannered singing on them often leaves me cold these days. I still love the original Blonde on Blonde take and selected live versions, although this is one song where I have a very low tolerance for lyric screw ups and with so many lyrics in the song...it happens. That occasionally he's pulled it off stunningly is a miracle of sorts. Even in 2011 he gave it pretty good workout in Phoenix or somewhere, he'd played it a night or two earlier and built on his inventions in style: one with the song and the moment, every bit as much as 1966, IMO. Dublin 2005 is outstanding. I probably said all this a few pages ago...but what the hell...
^It was starting to look that way but smoke may have rescued it.

There are some great acoustic performances from 2001 and 2002. Dublin 2005 is one of his finest recent.
The highly charged electric performance of Visions of Johanna that opened the LA show September 9, 1989 is to be commended. Bob and GE Smith tear through it with some nice guitar work and show nuances that are not revealed with the typical, delicately played arrangements.
Try Zoomton.
