Q: Cannot store data within a foreach loop, constantly loops I am trying to store specific data into an array so I can use it later.
I have tried storing the data within an array by key. But it just constantly loops far more times than it needs to. I set a condition that when the row = "configurable" (Which should be every 5th or 6th row) it unloads the data and restarts. So, I can put the data into the "Configurable" row and then start again.
I could be doing this completely wrong, but I cannot see another way around this. I have also tried placing the "For" loop in the Foreach, but it just gave me more problems with the looping.
($Ptype is a value declared outside of this loop. It should occur every 4 - 6 rows)
$rowArr =

[1] => Array
    (
        [0] => 5.5
        [1] => sku123
        [2] => default
        [3] => simple
        [4] => testData4
        [5] => testData5
        [6] => testData6
    )
[2] => Array
    (
        [0] => 5.9
        [1] => sku456
        [2] => default
        [3] => simple
        [4] => testData4
        [5] => testData5
        [6] => testData6
    )

$rowArr continues for about 1000 rows. I want to get values [1] and [3], and to place them whenever the "if($ptype == 'configurable')" is met. Once this is done, I want to continue within the $rowData array and repeat until the if statement again.
So the output should be (I'll format this a bit):
[5.5, simple, 5.9, simple, ... , ...]
and then it should be removed once the if statement is met, to make room for the new values coming in.
   for ($i=1; $i < count($rowArr); $i++) {

    $Data[] = $rowArr[$i][1];
    $Data[] = $rowArr[$i][3];
    // without a "break;" here, it gets too many rows.
}

if($ptype == 'configurable'){

  $dataim = implode("," , $Data);
  echo $dataim . "\n";
  $dataim = "";

      // If I "die;" here, it fills the first row correctly, but it needs to get every row.
  reset($Data);
}

I have also tried (I have tried a lot of moving around breaks etc):
for ($i=1; $i < count($rowArr); $i++) {

    $Data[] = $rowArr[$i][1];
    $Data[] = $rowArr[$i][3];

    if($ptype == 'configurable'){

        $dataim = implode("," , $Data);
        echo $dataim . "\n";
        $dataim = "";

        reset($Data);
        break;
    }

}

In Summary:

*

*Store values [1] and [3] from another array

*Once the [3] value is configurable, dump the data and start again in the array. continues indefinitely until rows are done.
Actual Result:

*

*Just loops the first 2 values over and over again, not getting any other data if a break is implemented. Without the break in the foreach loop, it loops forever.

*With a "die;" in the for loop, it gets the correct data, but only for the first row.

A: It seems that you are using Magento and want to retrieve simple products of configurable products.
You have approach this as
$arr = [
 [5.5,'sku123','default','simple','testData4','testData5','testData6'],
 [5.9,'sku456','default','simple','testData4','testData5','testData6'],
 [5.9,'sku4561','default','configurable','testData4','testData5','testData6'],
 [5.5,'sku123111','default','simple','testData4','testData5','testData6'],
 [5.9,'sku456222','default','simple','testData4','testData5','testData6'],
[5.9,'sku456123','default','configurable','testData4','testData5','testData6'],
];
$data = [];
$records = [];
for($i=0;$i<count($arr);$i++){
 ($arr[$i][3] == 'configurable') ? ($records[$arr[$i][1]] = implode(',',call_user_func_array('array_merge', $data)) AND $data=[]) : ($data[] = [ $arr[$i][1],$arr[$i][3] ]);
}
echo '<pre>';
print_r($records);

Output :
Array
(
 [sku4561] => sku123,simple,sku456,simple
 [sku456123] => sku123111,simple,sku456222,simple
)

A: In the first code example the for loop continues until it reaches the end of $rowArr because there is no break condition.
In the second code example the loop ends prematurely, because once $ptype is 'configurable', the loop doesn't start again.
I did some testing with my own $rowArr and maybe the code below will help you.
$configurable = ["l", "w"];

$rowArr = array(
    ["not-configurable", "a", "b", "c"],
    ["not-configurable", "d", "e", "f"],
    ["not-configurable", "g", "h", "i"],
    ["configurable", "j", "k", "l"],
    ["not-configurable", "m", "n", "o"],
    ["not-configurable", "p", "r", "s"],
    ["configurable", "t", "u", "w"],
    ["not-configurable", "x", "y", "z"]
);

for ($i=0; $i < count($rowArr); $i++) {

    $Data[] = $rowArr[$i][1];
    $Data[] = $rowArr[$i][3];

    if(in_array($rowArr[$i][3], $configurable)) {

        $dataim = implode("," , $Data);
        echo $dataim . "\n";
        $dataim = "";

        reset($Data);
        array_splice($rowArr, $i, 1);
        $i = -1;

    }
}

I hope I understood correctly what you're trying to achieve.

"Pokemon Go" Causing Baltimore Auto Accidents
As a Baltimore Chiropractor that spends the majority of my time treating Baltimore Auto Accident injuries, I thought that by 8 years of clinical practice and nearly four thousand patients, I had seen it all. I can now say that I am seeing things I never would have imagined: video game induced auto accident injuries in Baltimore.
By now we all know what it is. Pokemon, the digital monsters from my childhood, are back with a vengeance taking over our mobile phones and tablets. Seemingly everyone with a mobile internet connection is staring down at their devices as they pursue a digital scavenger hunt in an effort to "collect them all." Although it sounds cute and innocent, it has been leading to some unforeseeable problems. Most notably, injuries to players are starting to pile up at an alarming rate as participants are so immersed in the virtual game that they become unaware of their surroundings and then either injure themselves or others while playing.
The game uses "augmented reality" to transpose images of these cartoon monsters into every day life. In fact, where I live in Baltimore is right next to a PokeStop so I find myself filling up on pokeballs periodically to help me in my pursuit to "catch them all." The game is meant to be fun and as a way for casual users to get together, walk, exercise, and explore their surroundings. However, the more aggressive players are pulling out all the stops in an effort to collect elusive pokemon.
In Massachusetts, a man caused a major pile up (multiple car accidents) while attempting to throw PokeBalls to catch a pokemon. Several people had injuries as a result of the crash. The story can be read here.
There are other accounts of players using skateboards to "walk" around their communities faster in order to capture more digital monsters. This has lead to skateboard injuries such as scraped knees, twisted ankles, and even small bone breaks in feet.
To their credit, the makers of the game do warn players to be aware of their surroundings all the time and not to forget that they are, in fact, walking through the real world when they play. But that does not seem to be stopping players from putting themselves and others in harms way in an effort to catch the most digital monsters.
By no means am I suggesting that the game should be removed from the apple store or from Google play. I just think we all need to be more aware of our surroundings. My suspicion is that this will lead to an epidemic of Baltimore car accidents as people attempt to use their cars to travel greater distances in an attempt to catch pokemon.
While I am not suggesting that it is a smart idea to "pokemon and drive", I do think it is a wise idea to designate a driver if you must play pokemon in a car. Similar to designating a driver for an evening out with alcohol, and similar to how teenagers should be designating a "texter" to communicate on behalf of a driver, I think it is time we consider having a designated "pokemon player" so that any given driver can keep their attention to the road while another car occupant can focus on "catching them all."
If you, or someone you know, has suffered a Baltimore auto accident injury as a result of Pokemon Go, please contact Mid-Atlantic Spinal Rehab & Chiropractic at (443) 842-5500. We would be happy to help!

Fortissimo Capital to Buy 30% of Water Treatment Company IDE
Fortissimo will acquire the stake from Israel-based Delek Group, which owns 50% of IDE through a subsidiary
Lilach Baumer	12:4621.08.18
Delek
Israel-based private equity firm Fortissimo Capital has signed a memorandum of understanding to acquire 30% of Israeli water treatment company IDE Technologies Ltd., according to a Monday filing with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
IDE, founded in 1965, specializes in the development, engineering, construction and operation of desalination and industrial water treatment plants. The company is part of the technological turnabout that made Israel a global leader in desalination in an era where the Middle East is experiencing its worst drought in 900 years. 70% of Israel's drinking water comes from desalination today, according to the country's water authority, and IDE has built Israel's three main desalination plants. The company has also built many projects overseas, including the Carlsbad desalination plant in California.

IDE is owned jointly and equally by Israel-based holding company Delek Group—through a wholly-owned subsidiary—and by Alfa Partners LP.
According to Delek's filing, it will sell Fortissimo 60% of the subsidiary, Delek Infrastructures Ltd., according to a company valuation of $206 million. This gives IDE a company valuation of $412 million. Fortissimo and Delek will raise $80 million--$100 million in debt securities, which will be subtracted from the value of Delek Infrastructures for the deal. Fortissimo will pay Delek for 60% of the subsidiary according to the sum raised.

Delek will receive $40 million in cash for the deal at the completion of the deal, and provide Fortissimo with seller financing for the rest. Delek will also be entitled to a certain amount of future profit from IDE.

Richard Krajicek (* 6. Dezember 1971 in Rotterdam) ist ein ehemaliger niederländischer Tennisspieler tschechischer Herkunft. 1996 gewann er das Herreneinzel in Wimbledon und blieb bis heute der einzige niederländische Grand Slam Sieger. Er ist der ältere Halbbruder der Tennisspielerin Michaëlla Krajicek sowie Autor mehrerer Sportbücher.

Erfolge
Krajiceks größter Erfolg war der Triumph 1996 im Herreneinzel von Wimbledon, wo er als ungesetzter Spieler das Finale gegen MaliVai Washington gewinnen konnte. Im Verlauf des Turniers schaltete er den Wimbledonsieger von 1991 Michael Stich, als auch den Titelverteidiger und späteren siebenfachen Wimbledonsieger Pete Sampras jeweils in drei Sätzen aus. Krajicek war somit der einzige Spieler, der Sampras während seiner Regentschaft in Wimbledon zwischen 1993 und 2000 schlagen konnte. Anderen Wimbledonsiegern wie Boris Becker, Andre Agassi und Goran Ivanisevic gelang dies trotz mehreren Versuchen nicht.

Durch seine Körpergröße von 1,96 Metern und seinen starken Aufschlag fühlte sich der Serve- und Volleyspieler Krajicek vor allem auf schnellen Belägen wohl. In seiner Karriere konnte er insgesamt 17 ATP-Turniere, darunter auch die Masters-Turniere von Stuttgart und Miami, gewinnen. Seine höchste Weltranglistenposition erreichte er im Frühjahr 1999 mit Platz 4. Er zählt zu den wenigen Spielern, die sowohl auf Sand als auch auf Rasen, Hartplatz und in der Halle jeweils mindestens ein Turnier gewinnen konnten. Aufgrund von Ellenbogen- und Knieproblemen war er immer wieder zu Verletzungspausen gezwungen. Im Juni 2003, nach einer Niederlage gegen Olivier Mutis in 's-Hertogenbosch, beendete er seine Karriere schließlich wegen andauernder Ellenbogenbeschwerden, nachdem er bereits von Oktober 2000 bis Juni 2002 hatte verletzt pausieren müssen.

1993 gründete er die Richard Krajicek Foundation, eine Stiftung, die unterprivilegierten Kindern bessere Zugangsmöglichkeiten zum Sport bieten will. Bis heute ist er dort engagiert. 2004 wurde Krajicek der Turnierdirektor der ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam.

Kontroversen
Krajicek zog sich 1992 im Vorfeld des Grand-Slam-Turniers in Wimbledon den Unmut vieler Tennisfans zu. Er hatte gegenüber der internationalen Presse geäußert, 80 % der auf der WTA-Tour spielenden Damen wären "faule, fette Schweine". Als die neunmalige Wimbledon-Siegerin Martina Navrátilová ihn daraufhin zur Rede stellte, korrigierte er die Zahl auf 75 %. Dieser Vorfall blieb nicht ohne Folgen: Richard Krajicek wurde von mehreren Tageszeitungen mit Schweinenase und Schweineohren karikiert, während des Turniers in Wimbledon wurde er bis zu seinem Ausscheiden in der dritten Runde vom englischen Publikum mehrmals ausgepfiffen. Später hat sich Krajicek für die Äußerung offiziell entschuldigt.

Privatleben
Er ist ein Sohn tschechischer Immigranten. Im Jahre 1999 heiratete Krajicek Daphne Deckers, ein Modell und Autorin. Seine Halbschwester Michaëlla Krajicek ist ebenfalls Tennisspielerin von Beruf. Im Jahre 2005 gab er ein Buch namens Fast Balls aus.

Er leitet die Richard Krajicek Stiftung (Richard Krajicek Foundation), die Sporteinrichtungen für Kinder in Innenstädten der Niederlande baut.

Growing up in Wisconsin, sausage and cheese are staples at the family dinner table.
In fact, last week, I came across some little smokies turkey sausages marked down, so I whipped them up with just some bbq sauce and sauteed onions for dinner.
Yes, "appetizers" for dinner is always a hit.
Little Smokies Cocktail Sausage Appetizers have been a staple at family gatherings for decades, and there's always a new variation of making them. Honestly, I can't keep them all straight, so I am giving you a few choices.
Once you make them, you can tweak them to your preference and taste will vary greatly based on the BBQ sauce that you pick, so go for the good stuff. The sauces are equally delicious with meatballs, so you really get two appetizer ideas from this one recipe. Also know that family members have been known to add a little beer to change up the flavor as well. Yes, so many options.
Combine grape jelly and barbeque sauce in a slow cooker (or grape jelly and chili sauce).
Stir in the miniature smoked sausage links. Making sure that the sauce covers the meat. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or High, 2 to 3 hours, until heated thoroughly. You may also do this on the stove top simmering well for 2-3 hours or until needed. The jelly flavor completely melds into a delightful sauce with time, so it needs the full time to miss thoroughly.
Follow same directions as above. Mixing ingredients into crock pot and cooking.
My family uses apple jelly and chili sauce for Smokies and meatballs–use the crockpot and it is ready whenever you are.
We have always boiled them in beer (doesn't matter what kind, they get drained anyway), added BBQ (Sweet Baby Ray's is our fav), and add a can of chunk pineapple with juice. Just mix and keep warm in crock.
I was reading your variation of the wienie sauce. Is that 8 oz of grape jelly? And how much mustard do you use.
I think this is the variation I've had before, but just didn't know measurements to make it. Thinking of taking it to a new years eve party.
I'm planning on making these for a party tomorrow. What is the importance of the grape jelly? I was just gonna do our favorite BBQ sauce, until I pintrested to find a cooking time and saw this.
Would it be horrible without the jelly?
I don't think so. BBQ sauce is good with everything, but the grape jelly just gives it a delicious twist. You don't even know it's there.
My sister used to make these; always a hit. I have also done apricot preserves with BBQ sauce (usually with meatballs). It's really good, too.
I have make these for years using Apple Jelly and Mustard. When I cook party meatballs I use the Grape Jelly and Chili Sauce. Crock Pot makes preparing these a breeze too.
Love the twist using apple jelly. I bet it's so yummy that way.

Who doesn't love a beach vacation? The beaches of Vancouver Island aren't exactly the best-kept secret, but from September to May these same summertime hot spots offer visitors exclusive off-season seclusion.
Rather than struggle through throngs of tourists and fight miles of unforgiving traffic, why not escape to the island during the temperate off-season to enjoy true relaxation? Don't let deadlines and budgets and flaky dog-sitters stop you; take the time to take care of yourself, and make some beautiful memories that don't include the frustration of bumper to bumper cars on the way to – well, everywhere.
Enlist a friend who owes you one to take Fido for a few days and hop on a ferry; the ocean is calling.
Home Base: The central location of Rathtrevor Beach is perfect for leisurely island exploration. Just steps from the comfort of your suite at Sunrise Ridge, enjoy an expansive ocean view and watch as the tide recedes to reveal almost a mile of sand heavily adorned with tidepools. Head out when the tide is low and discover the diverse oceanfront ecosystem hidden under the salty sea.
Sandy Stop #1: Unbeknownst to travelers and locals alike, a hidden mecca of oceanic exploration awaits around the corner from Rathtrevor Beach. Dolphin Beach in Nanoose Bay is not made for summer sunbathers, but its gentle tides and rocky waterline are ideal for beach sponges, rockfish, and more.
Sandy Stop #2: Parksville Beach tops every beach-goer's must-see list. Though less outwardly diverse than its neighbour Rathtrevor, search the surf and you'll find the sand teaming with life.
Sandy Stop #3: Take a day trip up to Courtenay and pay a visit to Bates Beach, home to a variety of bigger beach life – no beachcombing required. Take a stroll down by the water and you'll come across a plethora of seals, birds, and maybe even a whale or two – so bring your binoculars!
Sandy Stop #4: Pack a lunch and head across the island to explore Tofino's world-famous beaches. Though Long Beach is the gem of the Pacific Rim, head to Chesterman Beach for an off-the-beaten-path beach experience. Even in the off-season, the storm-season waves will be dotted with avid surfers, but the real action happens on the tideline. Crustaceans, starfish, and sea anemones are abundant, as are the occasional squid, sea lion, and even jelly fish – so watch your step!
Vancouver Island's beaches are home to a wide range of species, and when you saunter down the shoreline you are entering their home without knocking. Avoid becoming an unwanted houseguest by following a few simple steps.
Do Not Disturb: Leave the beach as you found it. Don't leave anything behind and don't leave with anything you didn't arrive with.
Find your Footing: Spread across the sand and surf are multiple fragile lifeforms; take care not to crush them!
Be a Gentle Giant: You wouldn't enjoy a giant picking up your whole house while you're in it. Rocks and driftwood are homes too, and sea creatures don't have home insurance.
Capture the Moment: Bring your camera, because you're not just exploring tidelines; you're making memories.
Listen carefully; the sandy seas of the island are calling. Follow the sounds of the waves and spend some time recharging your spirit.
Reserve your Parksville beach getaway!

This initiative taken by President will definately help to uncover answers to many questions .


The four monarchs had scarcely left before two emperors came to the young lord's residence. It was Emperor Coiling Dragon and Void. The situation in Veluriyam had made these two slightly restless as well.
"Miss Huang'er, please excuse our uninvited arrivals. Didn't young lord Zhen return home recently? Has he gone into seclusion or departed once more?" As someone who knew Jiang Chen quite well, Emperor Coiling Dragon found no need to hold his tongue.
Exchanging a look, the two emperors followed the girl inside. They came to a quiet place in a few moments.
"Your Majesties, how have you been?" Emerging from the shadows, Jiang Chen smiled with genuine affection.
"There you are, kiddo! I didn't expect you to be home." Emperor Coiling Dragon was stunned for only a second before he broke into a smile as well.
It was the same for Emperor Void, though his typically stoic expression showed only muted joy.
"To tell you the truth, I haven't been back long at all. I don't know very much about the happenings in the city recently, so it's not a good time for me to walk about in public." Jiang Chen was entirely truthful.
"How well does it perform?" asked the emperor.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, but didn't explain further. The formation wasn't Sacred Peafowl Mountain's, but rather one of the ten formations of the Ancient Crimson Heavens Sect. In actuality, the Nine Sparks Petalstorm Formation was only the formation's first form. Its more advanced version was the Hundred Sparks Petalstorm Formation, a true empyrean rank formation that was several dozen times stronger than the Nine Sparks version.
The Nine Sparks Petalstorm Formation had already cost Jiang Chen quite a pretty stone. There was no question that the Hundred Sparks one would be exponentially more expensive. Jiang Chen didn't have nearly enough money to set up something of that scale.
The tradition of the Vassal Meeting had always been present here in the city. When Emperor Peafowl had been around, he rarely ordered one to be held without grave occasion. Sometimes, one wouldn't be held in over several centuries.
After all, Veluriyam Capital held monstrously expansive territories, containing a daunting plethora of factions and sides. There were thirteen great nations alone, with just one of them equalling the size of the entire sixteen kingdom alliance. Besides these thirteen nations were eight hundred cities of varying sizes, each with their own dedicated regions. All in all, the capital had holdings easily more than ten times that of the Myriad Domain. It was a humongous undertaking to summon everyone.
Additionally, the vassal medallions issued by the capital were different from the ones distributed to the dukes of the Eastern Kingdom. Anyone who received one here was a veritable giant in their local sphere, certainly noteworthy even if they came to the capital itself.
The kings of the thirteen nations naturally possessed the most important versions. The lords of the eight hundred cities were similarly eligible for the medallions, being handed ones of different ranks according to their strength.
Still, even the lowliest of medallions earned one remarkable honor and prestige. When the ruler of Veluriyam Capital sent out a summons, they all had the privilege and mandate to come together to discuss the affairs of the state. This was a duty that nobody could shirk.
Anyone who didn't come at the call of the medallions was branded as a traitor, and subject to punishment from the city's great emperors or even their peers.
Emperor Peafowl wasn't a man that enjoyed belaboring his people. During his rule, he never sent out the summons unless there was something vitally important. A meeting was never convened otherwise. Because the Vassal Meeting was so rarely held, it became a festive event whenever it did occur. There was greater jubilation than even the Veluriyam Pagoda gathering.
This was a mystifying fact for Jiang Chen and the two emperors alike.
"Emperor Shura is no longer content to hide his activities." Emperor Void was none too pleased, either.
The emperors' judgments were both affected by Emperor Peafowl's impression of their ambitious peer.
Emperor Peafowl had considered simply allowing Emperor Shura to succeed him, but abandoned that idea in the end. At the end of the day, Emperor Shura was just not up to the task.
"We must foil his plans. Otherwise, there'll be no room for us to exist here," Emperor Coiling Dragon declared rather sternly.
"You are the current heir of Sacred Peafowl Mountain, young lord Zhen. Since Emperor Peafowl isn't around, you must take up his mantle and decide. I've come to an agreement with Daoist Coiling Dragon already that we'll stand by Sacred Peafowl Mountain no matter what. However, this is what we don't know: how much resolution do you have? Do you have the courage and assurance to see the struggle with Emperor Shura to the end?" Emperor Void was keenly interested in the young man's answers.
If Jiang Chen himself had no spirit, then no amount of support from the Emperor Void and Coiling Dragon meant anything.
The emperors traded a look, mutual relief evident in their eyes.
Both emperors trusted Jiang Chen implicitly. They saw undeniable talent and ability in the youth. This insight was the most important reason for their continued loyalty. Their typically congenial relationship with the faction was a strong contributing factor, but Jiang Chen's future abilities was more crucial.
"Emperor Petalpluck?" Jiang Chen frowned, remembering the low-key emperor who maintained neutrality.
That emperor's heritage was Buddhist in nature, requiring peace, serenity, and detachment from the world. This made Jiang Chen all the more perplexed. If Emperor Petalpluck was so detached, why would he decide to cast his vote for Emperor Shura? How had Emperor Shura convinced this relatively indifferent emperor?
Among the seven emperors remaining in the city, all five besides Coiling Dragon and Void had shown support for the convention of the Vassal Meeting. That meant that the supposedly aloof Emperor Petalpluck had taken a side in the end.
"Young lord Zhen, we've visited Emperor Petalpluck in private as well. He says that his choice was based on concern for the city's future prospects. If you can persuade him with a show of your talent and ability, I think it's quite possible that he'd be amenable to switching sides instead." Emperor Void evaluated in a low voice.
I dunno, I hear you guys when you say that he was smart for sounding them out from the shadows to see what they truly felt, but when I read that part, I paused and was like ehhh... I dunno about this... I think you should just come out and say hi to them..

20 Facts You Need to Know About Armenia
South Dakota – a journey among Mount Rushmore, nature reserves and exciting cities
If you really want to experience the spirit of such a great country as the United States, then you should definitely visit South Dakota, where you will find magnificent nature and distant horizons, where the ancient history of Indians is traced and patriotic pride is felt where you can hear the stories of cowboys and adventures of modern Racers. Yes, in fact, in this small corner of the earth, the whole of America is concentrated. The federal state of South Dakota, also known as the Coyote state, is disposed in the highland plains of the northern Midwest and its name derives from the Indian tribe of Lakota Sioux.
The state is divided into two parts, one of which is arid and wilderness, west of Missouri, Badlands and Black Hills, and the other one is flat land with large wheat crops, east of the river. The basis of the local economy is agriculture, but no less contribution gives the exploitation of mineral resources, thanks to the gold and silver mines of Black Hills.
Until 1889, South and North Dakota were the single state of Dakota. To date, these are separate states and South Dakota has a capital in Pierre. Other important and famous cities are Soux Falls, Rapid City and Aberdeen.
When traveling around the state, which is located almost in the center of the United States, at first glance strikes the greatness of natural landscapes, the diversity of colors, vegetation and lands that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world.
In a natural park placed south of Rapid City on the "Causter State Park", of a length of 280 square kilometers, you can admire the most beautiful landscapes. One can say that here in reality, nature has surpassed itself. Along the small lake Silvan stretches the majestic spruce forests that frame the whole region.
Not so far from the park are the spectacular caves, Jewel Cave and Wind Cave, with the longest and most complex tunnel system in the world, where one can find such perfect limestone formations that might seem to have been created by the hand of an invisible genius.
Visit the magnificent natural parks and enjoy the true wonders of nature when traveling to South Dakota!
It is also worth visiting the park Badlands, which received its name because of the wild species, which actually resembles a deserted lunar landscape. Here you can see cliffs changed by time, an incomparable contrast of shapes and colors, amazing shades, in which the environment is painted when sunset.
South Dakota is the place where you can freely see the majestic American bison, and in the last week of September see the largest herd of bison in the country.
Not far from Rapid City you can visit the most important national monument of Mount Rushmore, where on the mountain depicted the faces of four founders of the nation: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt.

I'm trying to RS485 communication between two PIC16F887 with a simple code. RS485 is necessary, because i'd like to use at least 10 slaves and long distances.
In first phase, i'm trying the code in virtual (yes... in isis), but something is wrong, because the hardware interrupt works once. The second, third etc. messages don't make rda interrupts in slave, so the incomming_rs485() function runs once in the beginning.
I'm using MAX487 ICs, resistors etc.
What is missing from the code? Thanks for help!
Use real hardware and use the CCS examples (they both work !!).
Read this previous thread on how to make rs-485 work with CCS.
The array is too small to hold what is being put into it.
As I said, in the first phase, i'd like to try it in virtual, but i'll build this circuit for you, after i bought devices (soon).
I have already read it (before i posted) and my "circuit" is similar to that.
Thanks, i fixed it, but the code is still not working. The slave's led doesn't blink.
You're basing 'it doesn't work' on a faulty 'simulation' program aka ISIS aka Proteus !
Even for a first phase, simulators are not worth the time. You can chase bugs that real hardware will work with, and others that real hardware won't work with. Bottom line, experienced developers don't use simulators, it doesn't save time.
And I have to apologize to you, because it works... I've already built some circuits with proteus, and they worked in real, unfortunately the simulator is wrong in this situation and I made a mistake because of it..
So.. sorry and thank you for showing the right way.
Generally, small very simple projects will work in Isis. However as things get more complex, the probabilities of it giving the right answer, 'shoot down'.
There are little errors in almost every Isis component in the PIC's.
I've got two demo projects, one shows a project that works perfectly in Isis, but can never work in the real world. The second shows a project that will not function in Isis, but works for real (you now have your own example of this....).
We use Proteus as a PCB design tool, and still will use Isis for a few specific analog simulations, as being quicker than Spice to set up (it works well for these simulations), but when it comes to microprocessor sections, Isis is not used at all.

Meet the Branch President
The Greater Texarkana Branch of the NAACP, like so many others witnessed the horrific video murder of George Floyd by strangulation. Second degree charges are pending against a 19-year veteran police officer of the Minneapolis Police Department while three other officers are charged with aiding and abetting a murder. To say the least, we are appalled by this murder. Although, we believe that there are respectable officers in every city who have sworn to serve and protect. However, as we witnessed in Minneapolis, there are just not enough who are willing to stop the unscrupulous ones. If just one of the other three officers had spoken up and/or acted, Mr. Floyd's life could have been spared.
This is not the first time our country has witness police brutality and the killing of an unarmed African American man at the hands of White police officers. With each of these deaths there have been protests and some would even say rioting. However, these incidents seem to be only a temporary fix and the problem went away, until the next time. This time the message with the George Floyd murder appears to be different. Perhaps, this time, it might be enough to bring changes and reform. We all hope it is the straw that has broken the camel's back. Injustices are starring us in the face daily.
Over the past several nights, we have seen much of America, Black, White, Asian, Hispanic and people of all ethnicities and ages united to let the world know these types of injustices exist right in our faces and communities; on an all too frequent basis. Other countries are joining the United States in protesting this act of murder. It does not look like the protesting and the uproar is going away any time soon, and we believe it is necessary to get the attention of policy makers. Even the fear of COVID-19 has not stopped people from protesting. Sadly, our federal government has been negligent in understating or turning a blind eye to the pain and horror people are experiencing.
The NAACP encourages peaceful protest and commend those who have organized and participated in peaceful protests around the world, as well as in Texarkana. Protesting and or demonstrating is your constitutional rights. Raising your signs and voices will hopefully spur our government to end police brutality and the senseless killing of African Americans and people of color in our country. Let me be clear, the NAACP and our Branch does not condone violence, destruction of businesses and property nor looting. When this happens, the focus of why we are protesting is overshadowed. I understand anger and sadness as a result to injustice. As an African American man, father, grandfather, and uncle, I truly understand. We grieve with the Floyd family. We realize this could be any African American man in the United States. Please take steps to protect yourself as you march, because the COVID-19 pandemic is still prevalent.
One of our focuses as we protest and remember Mr. Floyd should be registering to vote and voting in November. We focus a lot on the presidential election and candidate, but we must also focus and concentrate on who will best represent us in local, city and state government. We must vote in every election, not just the presidential election. We have too much at stake not to vote. We must hold all our elected officials accountable.
The local Greater Texarkana Branch of the NAACP will continue to work with the city, police and sheriff departments, judges, other elected officials, and the community to ensure justice for all citizens. We believe "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Review of 2018 Highlights: Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) Impact
Posted by MLToday | Jan 19, 2019 | Palestine | 0
By Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC)
Here are 18 highlights of direct and indirect BDS impact from 2018. The BDS movement for Palestinian rights has made extraordinary strides in exposing Israel's crimes and apartheid policies.
Airbnb decided it would no longer profit from most illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land. This followed an international campaign led by the #StolenHomes coalition of organizations affiliated with the BDS movement for Palestinian rights and human rights organizations.
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib made history by becoming the first sitting U.S. members of Congress to publicly endorse BDS. Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress, has also expressed support for cutting U.S. military aid to Israel.
Mobilizations across the world convinced Argentina's national football team, led by Captain Lionel Messi, to cancel its exhibition match with Israel.
Celebrity singer Lana Del Rey became one of 19 artists to withdraw from Israel's Meteor Festival, after thousands of fans and activists from around the world urged her to respect the Palestinian picket line. Shakira and Lorde were among other top artists to cancel their concerts in Israel this year. More than 100 DJs and electronic music artists joined the cultural boycott of Israel under #DJsForPalestine.
Chile's Congress overwhelmingly voted to ban products from illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land.
Major organizations from the Indian women's movement, representing over 10 million women, endorsed the BDS movement and demanded the release of all Palestinian child prisoners.
Amnesty International called for an arms embargo on Israel. It slammed the United States and the European Union for their military deals with Israel and held them responsible for "fueling mass violations" of Palestinian human rights.
The UK Labour Party recently voted to freeze arms sales to Israel. In Ireland, a Minister of State and 50 Irish lawmakers called for Ireland to stop arming Israel. Earlier, Dublin became the first European capital to endorse BDS for Palestinian rights. In Scotland, Falkirk Pension Fund divested from Bank Hapoalim, becoming the first local authority pension fund in the UK to divest from a company complicit in Israel's violations of Palestinian rights.
Parliamentarians from Spain and Portugal took a stand for Palestinian rights and denounced Israel's war crimes and racist "Jewish Nation-State Law." Several cities in Italy and the Spanish state called for an arms embargo on Israel.
The Movement for Black Lives released a powerful statement of solidarity with the Palestinian people and called for the United States to end its $38 billion in annual military aid to Israel. The city of Northampton and the State of Vermontboth pulled out of a planned training junket for US police to learn from the Israeli military.
40 international Jewish social justice organizations recognized that the BDS movement for Palestinian rights has a proven commitment to "fighting antisemitism and all forms of racism and bigotry." They condemned attempts to stifle criticism of Israel's policies.
A 2018 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, Professor George P. Smith, expressed support for the BDS movement and for cutting US military aid to Israel.
Adidas stopped sponsoring the Israel Football Association (IFA), which includes teams based in illegal settlements built on stolen Palestinian land, after appeals from more than 130 Palestinian sports clubs.
Trade unionists and human rights activists in Tunisia and across the Arab world forced Israel's Zim shipping line to suspend its routes to Tunisia.
The Canadian Federation of Students, representing more than 500,000 students, just voted at their Annual General Meeting to back the BDS movement.
Leeds became the first UK university to divest from firms involved in Israel's arms trade, following a BDS campaign by Palestine solidarity activists. The university has divested more than $1.2 million in holdings from corporations that trade military equipment with Israel.
Quakers became the first church in the UK to say they "will not invest in any company profiting from [Israel's military] occupation." Recently, several US churches have also voted to divest from Israeli and international companies complicit in Israel's violations of Palestinian human rights.
From South Africa, Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela, a member of parliament and Nelson Mandela's grandson, has affirmed the critical role BDS is playing to end Israeli apartheid.
The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) is the largest coalition in Palestinian civil society. It leads and supports the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement for Palestinian rights.

Why I have a problem with the Global Innovation Index
INSEAD Business School, along with Cornell University and the World Intellectual Property Organisation have just released their analysis of the world's most innovative countries for 2016.
Together, this is called the Global Innovation Index and aims to objectively measure several dozen indicators to assess which countries are comparatively more innovative than others.
You may have seen graphics being forwarded around Linkedin, with a chart displaying the top rankings of "most innovative countries 2016" next to a cross-section of random index numbers, declaring that once again Switzerland is the most innovative country in the world.
First of all, I want to congratulate these institutions and the hundreds of collaborators who work on not only the report, but also compiling the thousands of data points to make the comparative analysis possible.
For innovation professionals like myself, this data trove is a goldmine for uncovering trends which are happening across the world, especially as you can compare current data to previous years to find both local and global trends. The full report (which you can download for free at the above link) is over 451 pages long and has a substantial level of detail, for each country and also each index they use to form the total. Here you can see how the top 10 countries' positions have changed over the past 4 years, and how Switzerland has remained steady at the top.
Top 10 Most Innovative Countries 2016, GII 2016
The analysis itself is also often top-notch, with top economists sifting through both the micro-economic and macro-economic data to find the underlying trends. For example, the trend for the 2016 report was "Winning with Global Innovation", and it showed how R&D is becoming more open and geographically diverse.
However, as you may have guessed from the title, I have one major concern with the foundation of the index which results in me taking its findings (like all other reports I analyse) with a grain of salt:
In order to stay unbiased and objective in producing this index, the analysts rely on a series of available numerical datasets available to compare countries. This limited availability means that the analysts need to choose which ones represent the "innovativeness" of a country, and it is here that in my opinion the analysts have put too much emphasis on macroeconomic and socio-political data-points, and too little on data points which actually relate to achieveing innovation.
The problem with extrapolating data
I spent 8 years as a management consultant, and a number of my projects were referred to as "Strategy Consulting". Here, we would be asked to make predictions for a specific topic, such as the likely growth rates for an industry segment based on trends.
In order to make such an assessment, you need two primary things:
Baseline and historical data points to identify what the data is telling you (e.g. comparative benchmarks, industry analysis)
Insight into what the data is telling you, and how external future forces and current trends may affect the industry (scenarios such as disruptive new technology, price drops or changes in consumer behaviour)
The issue arises in that part 1 is quite impartial, unbiased and objective, as it is primarily numerical and based on current available data. However, part 2 is where humans like me get their grubby hands on these numbers and start using intelligence and insight to create future "scenarios" which may or may not be true. These scenarios are therefore more subjective, and will vary based on the people who provided the insight, and the thought processes and intelligence of those people. This is why consultants are paid so much. The more evidence that is available to back up the insights, the lower the risk that they could be wrong, but they will never be 100% guaranteed.
Reports like the GII attempt to be completely impartial, and to achieve that they aim to focus on the available data (part 1) and remove as much of the human opinion (part 2) as possible.
The way they achieve this is by looking at available data sets which provide indicators which they have chosen to represent innovation. They then assess each country against those indicators, and rank the final results to see which countries lead in which indicators. The total weightings of the various indexes which then result in a net rank for each country compared to each other country, allowing the GII team to say which country achieves the overall highest Innovation Efficiency Ratio ranking (it's Switzerland).
The indicators used by the Report are divided into sub-categories (with numerous other sub-indicators) as follows:
Innovation Inputs
Human Capital and Research
Market Sophistication
Business Sophistication
Innovation Outputs
Knowledge and Technology Outputs
Creative Outputs
As I've previously stated, the underlying data is sound. It is not all completely quantitative, with some qualitative assessments as well, such as ranking the quality of universities against each other.
And one thing I cannot argue against is that the wealth of data enables the team to provide some very interesting assessments of innovation. For example, take a look at this chart from page 60 of the report, which shows the GII score compared to the GDP per capita of each country. It shows clear groupings of countries which are either underperforming relative to GDP, achieving innovation, or innovation leaders.
Innovation Leader, Achievers and Underperformers, GII 2016
However, the insights you gain from the ranking are ultimately always based on the data in the rankings. The problem starts arising when you look at the methodology used in the report, and which indicators have actually been used to represent innovation. In my view, some of them are somewhat poor innovation indicators, but have been chosen simply because they were the data which was available.
What is innovation?
Here at Idea to Value, we have a very clear view on the definition of Innovation. How did we get it? By asking 15 of the world's top innovation experts, and finding the common definition, which is as follows:
Innovation is Executing an idea which addresses a specific challenge and achieves value for both the company and the customer
This puts the emphasis of innovation on value delivery.
If you look at the definition of innovation used in the Global Innovation Index, it is based on the Oslo Manual developed by the European Communities and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and is as follows:
An Innovation is the implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service), a new process, a new marketing method, or a new organisational method in business practices, workplace organisation, or external relations.
Firstly, my issue with the underlying definition is that it is much too fixated on "newness". According to it, anything new would be classified as an innovation, regardless of whether it adds value and is accepted by the market.
But the underlying issue with the concept is further elaborated on in the same section, where the authors admit:
Measuring innovation outputs and impacts remains difficult, hence great emphasis is placed on measuring the climate and infrastructure for innovation and on assessing related outcomes.
Here is the crux of the issue with the report: getting data on innovation outputs is hard, so the report is based predominantly on non-innovation metrics for which data is available. These are mainly macroeconomic data and socio-political data sets.
Having looked through them, some of these data sets do indeed have a clear correlation with innovation as a value-based paradigm, which I am fine with.
For example, some Innovation Inputs such as (not exhaustive list):
1.3.1 – Ease of starting a business
2.1.1 – Expenditure on education, % of GDP
2.2.2 – Graduates in science & engineering, %
2.3.2 – Gross expenditure on R&D, % GDP
3.1.2 – ICT Use
4.1.1 – Ease of Getting Credit
4.2.1 – Ease of protecting minority investors
5.1.1 – Knowledge-intensive employment, %
5.3.1 – Intellectual property payments, % total trade
However, the issue is that for all of the good indices which have a direct correlation to innovation, there are also a number of other indices which in my view are much more focused on general economic health and strength. The authors make the argument that this underlying climate and infrastructure is vital for innovation, and to a degree I agree with them. However, I don't fully support the idea that the following (not exhaustive) list of other Innovation inputs actually relate much to innovation specifically:
1.1.1 – Political Stability and safety
3.1.3 – Government's online service
3.2.1 – Electricity output, kWh/cap
3.3.2 – Environmental performance
4.2.3 – Total value of stocks traded, % GDP
4.3.3 – Domestic market scale, bn PPP$
Yes, the values above can be used to make an assessment of the strength of the economy. But as the authors have admitted, it is not specifically related to a country or individual's ability to innovate. In fact, in many cases innovation is actually spurred on by challenges existing in a local market which need a novel solution, such as SMS-based mobile payments in African countries with neither strong financial institutions or widespread and affordable ICT access. A number of the indices simply muddy the waters by adding in ranking factors which are less (or not at all) related to things which will increase or decrease a person's ability to come up with and execute on value-adding ideas. The ranking would be more accurate if these factors were removed, leaving a smaller but more focused dataset.
The challenge in measuring innovation outputs
Even more issues arise when we look at the index data used to assess innovation output, which the authors also admitted was hard to get hold of.
This section is split into two as well, comparing sub-indicators for "Knowledge & Technology Outputs" and "Creative Outputs".
"Knowledge & Technology Outputs" are predominantly made of very good innovation-related indicators, including information on:
6.1.1 – Patents by origin/ bn PPP$ GDP
6.1.4 – Scientific & Technical articles/bn PPP$ GDP
6.2.2 – New Businesses/th pop 15-64 (an especially good one in my view)
6.2.5 – High- & Medium-high-tech manufacturers, %
6.3.2 – High-tech exports less re-exports, % total trade
On the whole, this section gives a good indicator of how much a country is contributing to research and new product development. With the data available, this is probably as good as it is possible to get.
However, the Creative Outputs section is another story. Here we find indicators such as:
7.2.2 – National Feature films/ mm pop 15-69
7.2.4 – Printing & publishing manufacturers, %
7.3.3 – Wikipedia monthly edits/mm pop 15-69
7.3.4 – Video uploads on Youtube/pop 15-69
This is where the lack of coherent, comparable data becomes the most clear. Many of these indicators are culturally biased, based on language and local tastes. These cultural output indexes also relate only remotely to the concept of innovation, and in the case of printing and publishing are actually measuring an index for an industry which is in decline thanks to innovation in digital.
The authors have had to rely on data sources available, and acknowledge its fundamental limitations when they admit:
Attempts made to strengthen this sub-pillar with indicators in areas such as Internet and machine learning, blog posting, online gaming, and the development of applications have so far proved unsuccessful.
So the good news is that the authors are aware of the limitations inherent in the report. I wish them good luck in continually finding new ways to improve their data. However, at the moment the rankings and the data they are based on must be taken with a grain of salt.
Is it measuring innovation or business efficiency?
My final point relates to the question which comes up when analysing the results of the GII itself.
Now, please don't think I'm giving grief to Switzerland, but they are not a country you associate with high technology and world-changing design innovations. They are much more a country you think of when it comes to good governance and efficiency of doing business, which so many of the macro-economic indicators in this list relate to. Which makes me ask the question of how much the rankings in this list are the result of innovations from the country itself, and how much it is based on large international businesses being set up with Headquarters in Switzerland for tax purposes.
Let me give you an example. I previously worked for many years at Deloitte, one of the world's largest professional services firms doing audit, consulting and advisory for almost every major global company and employing more than 200,000 people. Yet the company was restructured to be a Swiss Verein, so that taxes would be as low as possible. The vast, vast majority of work is being done inside each individual country at a local level, yet Switzerland ends up with a larger number of headquarters with people not doing much of the progressive, high-tech work there. And this will certainly also be true of things like patents filed on the companies' behalf. Many other large companies employ similar tactics.
This doesn't mean that Switzerland isn't an innovative place. It certainly is, having a large number of impressive universities and research hubs. However, when you look at where new, innovative companies are actually developing new technology on the ground, you are more likely to find it in cities like Berlin, London, San Fransisco, Tel Aviv, Nairobi and Singapore, rather than Zurich. This just highlights to me the limitations in using the macroeconomic data which the GII relies upon so heavily.
You should still have a look at the report
Now, don't think that I don't like or respect the GII. I think it's fantastic, and am continuously finding out more golden nuggets of information from it.
If you are interested in Innovation, it's a vital read, and I strongly suggest you download it.
However, I would not recommend you use it as the sole resource for making any important innovation-based decisions, like where to invest in a new R&D facility or go after a new market. The data is not geared towards that.
I hope that after reading this, you'll be able to get the value from the report and still understand its inherent limitations.

What is Raw Propolis?
Raw propolis is used as a remedy to help sore throats.
Side effects of propolis may include stomach upset.
Propolis is naturally secreted by bees.
People who are allergic to bee stings should not use propolis in any form.
Written By: S. Williams
Edited By: A. Joseph
Raw propolis is a natural product made by honeybees. The bees gather resin from flowers and leaf buds to carry back to the hive, where it is mixed with beeswax to create propolis. The worker bees use the sticky substance to repair the beehive and to line and seal brood combs. The raw propolis has antifungal and antibacterial properties that serve to protect the health of the entire colony. Bee propolis will kill the Bacillus larvae bacteria that causes American foul brood, a major threat to honeybees.
Depending on the plants and trees in the area surrounding a beehive, propolis can have a different appearance and composition. Raw propolis usually ranges from yellow to dark brown, but clear propolis also has been seen. When analyzed, raw propolis is a complex combination of as many as 180 different compounds created from the materials collected by the honeybees. The raw materials are further transformed by the bee's saliva as they are harvested, carried back to the hive and mixed with beeswax.
Scientific studies have shown that propolis is effective against many common types of bacteria, viruses and fungi. In a refined form, bee propolis is used in cosmetics, medicines, wound treatment and food preservatives. Historically, propolis also has been used in wood preservatives and varnishes. In contrast to the refined product, raw propolis is unprocessed and typically is consumed in chunks or ground into a fine powder. It can cause stomach upset and potential allergic reactions, so raw propolis should be taken only in small quantities when used as a nutritional supplement.
Raw propolis is a whole product that hasn't undergone any additional processing, but a propolis extract is created when the substance is put through a chemical process to separate specific compounds from the other ingredients. The extraction process is an attempt to isolate the materials that are thought to be most beneficial, such as flavenoids and phenolics. Pharmaceutical companies are the primary user of propolis extracts. When dissolved in alcohol, a propolis tincture is formed that is claimed to have additional medicinal properties.
When used as a dietary supplement, it generally is recommended to take 250 milligrams of raw propolis a day. People who are allergic to bee stings should not use propolis in any form. In addition to capsules for daily intake, propolis lozenges are used as a remedy for sore throats. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not instituted guidelines for propolis use.
Many products claim to include organic propolis. The organic designation doesn't apply to the propolis-derived portion of the substance. Honeybees roam freely and will gather substances from both organic and non-organic areas.

@fBoyle-- Why don't you try raw propolis in honey? I think this type of propolis is more effective and you can decide on the dose. If you buy capsules, you can't split the dose. You can also get other bee supplements this way, like royal jelly honey or royal jelly, propolis and honey together.
I eat honey with raw propolis for my acne. It has only been a week, but I'm already seeing a difference. It's great stuff.

@fBoyle-- I'm not a doctor, so I wouldn't want to mislead you. I have taken a propolis supplement which was 500mg without problems, so I think that this is a safe amount for most people. However, you should not take propolis if you are allergic or sensitive to bee products like honey.
The biggest issue with propolis supplements is that many claim to be natural, raw or unprocessed, but a few really are. So aside from the dose, I urge you to pay attention the ingredients and how the propolis was obtained. Just because it says "unprocessed" or "raw" on the label doesn't mean that it is. Many small farms sell bee products nowadays and none of it is regulated, so it's easy for bad quality products to end up on shelves and at online stores.
It's a good idea to read customer reviews of these supplements before buying them.
fBoyle
Most of the raw propolis capsule supplements I've seen are in 500mg or 1000mg doses. I've even seen one that was 1500mg per capsule. I have a hard time finding it in lower doses. Is it okay if I take a 500mg capsule or will that be too much? I'm guessing it's okay because many people use it this way.

MJ News & Information
Dutch company completes world's first prefab house built of Cannabis
By knucklehead bob, December 30, 2018 in Worldwide News & Information
knucklehead bob 8,354
Z-Labs Member
A Dutch company is the first in the world to build a prefab house of a variety of the Cannabis plant. Benefits of the plant based house should be durability, high isolation capability, earth-quake resistance and affordability. World's first Cannabis house is located about 250 kilometers away from Cannabis Valhalla, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
To build the house, the Cannabis is mixed with water and glue to "hemp concrete", also known as "hempcrete". Hemp is the name of a variety of the Cannabis plant that is grown for industrial use. With hemp, it's possible to make paper, clothes bio fuel and even food. Unlike the well-known Cannabis to get high, the industrial Cannabis doesn't contain sufficient concentrations of psychoactive components to alter state of mind.
In the Northern of the Netherlands, where traditionally mainly potatoes and beetroot was grown, hemp has become an additional source of income for farmers. The harvested hemp is processed to fibers and one of the companies that processes it, Dun Agro, has started production of what it calls, "hemp concrete". This mixture of the woody core of hemp fibers, water and glue is pressed together in a mold to make prefab sections for houses. After three months of natural drying, the sections are ready and can be put in place. The first house that was built this way has now been completed and a second is under construction. Both houses have their outside walls, interior wall and their roof made from the hempcrete sections.
With the current 1,100 hectares of agricultural land used for hemp in the Netherlands, Dun Agro claims to be able to build 500 houses per year and easily scale up in case demand increases.
On small scale there have been some initiatives to build houses from hemp. However, Dun Agro claims it's the first to build a prefab house, which is a production method that it can quite easily scale. Hemp has been used before as it is considered an attractive building material, particularly thanks to its high isolation capability which results in lower energy consumption. Close to the area where the house has been developed there are regular earthquakes due to gas extraction, therefore the earth-quake resistance is another benefit emphasized by Dun Agro.
Another benefit listed by the company is the negative CO2 footprint of Cannabis based houses, because the hemp takes on 13,500 kilos of CO2 when it grows. This CO2 remains stored in the hempcrete.
Hemp is especially an interesting plant for farmers, it grows fast, needs little pesticides and fertilizer and its deep roots improve the grounds it grows on. It's also an excellent intermediate crop, which means the plant can be used in between other crops and is therefore an additional source of revenue for the farmer.

This is great news.
There is a guy here in MI (Brad Kalio? I think) that has been promoting hempcrete for several years.
I caught a portion of one of his presentations some years ago and the stuff is pretty amazing.
So light weight yet strong and durable, it was amazing.
I've watched a few hempcrete fire demonstrations and it just does not flame.
Lumber companies are in a tizzy I'm certain.
We may save the Mother after all.

very cool stuff...... but i don't think the dutch can claim they were the first to do this. Pretty sure that some moths ago there was a company from canada on the news with a home built from blocks made from hemp fiber. It looked a heck of a lot more modern that the dutch version and was being built as a zero emission home

This weekend we opened for an Americana/Folk band at the FireEscape Coffeehouse in Chanute, KS. Singer-songwriters Stephanie Bettman and Luke Halpin did an awesome job on the stage. It was an honor and privilege to open for them.
We had some fun playing around with Picasa.


Completed in 1935 and closed in 1984, this particular section of General Sullivan Bridge, connecting Dover, NH to Newington, NH is considered to be the second most historic bridge in the state, next to Portsmouth's Memorial Bridge.
This is the same bridge I remember going across as a kid on our way to Hampton Beach and my mom hollering at my brothers, "Just because we're on a bridge don't think I won't stop and let you out!" Man I was scared but she threatened that a lot. Oh yeah, those were the days. We made it to the beach without any stops.
For some reason I have dreams about this set of bridges but I don't know why. In my dreams I'm trying to cross the bridge but half of it is missing and I can't figure out how I'm going to get to the other side, or some of the pieces of the bridge are gone so I have to jump but I can't because I'm too scared. Who dreams about bridges? Weird.
Great shots Sharon! I pass that bridge often when we visit my brother-in-law who lives in Dover. Many time I've seen people fishing off there. You gotta have alot of fishing line just to reach the water!
You've got that right Jay! The night I went most of the fisherman were down by the water though, next to the bridge. It's wonderful old bridge for walkers, runners, and bikers ... and photographers.
I love bridges, great photos.
I thought I was the only one in the world whose mother used to threaten to throw us out of the car.
I love that bridge also. There is something almost nostalgic about it. I love the sunset photo's.
Beautiful shots of that bridge - especially that last one!
P.S. I've dreamed about bridges too!
I'm such a sucker for an old bridge, especially a covered bridge.
lovely captures sharon...maybe they will make it into a pedestrian/bike bridge. but obviously there are costs and upkeep to consider.
I loved, LOVED the sky in the one shot with the puffy clouds!
What lovely pictures! It's nice to hear that you have wonderful memories of the old bridge and your family. Very funny!
Love the pics of the nuthatch! How adorable!
Wow, what beautiful colors! I find it very relaxing to look at boats just floating around like that. Its very peaceful. Here in Miami we have several causeways going into Miami Beach. Well, the farthest one south has one particular bridge that, when you reach the top and start your way down you see this marina, usually with several sailboats hanging about. It always takes my breath away. However, I've never seen it with those beautiful colors that you managed to capture in your photos. I usually drive by there during the day, never at dawn or dusk.
In regards to your dream, if you were talking to a cousin of mine, she'd immediately pull out a book of dreams that she has and try to tell you the meaning...lol. Every time that I hear about someone having recurring dreams I think of her.
How beautiful and sad too, in a way, to see the weeds already beginning to reclaim that old bridge that served so many so well for so long.
Such soft, lovely colours in the sky. Really gorgeous.
Beautiful photos especially the second one with the clouds. Very serene looking and what a great end to a day.
Bridges can be sort of creepy with all that water below.. make me a bit nervous sometimes.
I'm sure I've been over that bridge on trips up there. A bridge like that doesn't scare me, but the Sunshine Skyway terrified me many years ago. I don't like really long bridges either over big bodies of water like in the Keys. Beautiful shots, thanks!!
Beautiful photos! Your blog is like my own personal tour from home!
Wow. Are they going to take it down or leave it Sharon?
You'll have to let us know if the bridge dream thing means anything special. We'll have to google it!
I'm thinking my mom traumatized me by saying she was going to make the boys get out on the bridge. Apparently just the thought of it at the time was enough to scare me for the rest of my life! LOL!
The bridge will be staying right where it is. There isn't any other way across the river for bikers or walkers. Since we have a penence for all things historic here in New England, this bridge is a keeper.
Love those shots, Sharon! There is something so graceful about a bridge like that... Such beautiful sunset colors, too.

Emgek ( und , deutsch: Arbeit) ist eine politische Partei in der Kirgisischen Republik. Die Partei wurde 2013 gegründet und hat insbesondere in der kirgisischen Hauptstadt Bischkek Unterstützer.

Geschichte

Die Gründung der Partei im Jahr 2013 erfolgte unter der Führung von Askar Salymbekow, einem einflussreichen Geschäftsmann aus Bischkek, dem unter anderem der Dordoi-Basar in der kirgisischen Hauptstadt gehört. Vor der Parlamentswahl in Kirgisistan 2015 ging die Partei Emgek ein Bündnis mit der nationalkonservativen Partei Butun Kirgisistan ein, die im Gegensatz zu Emgek stärker im Süden des Landes verwurzelt ist. Im Wahlkampf forderten führende Politiker des Wahlbündnisses beider Parteien unter anderem die Rückkehr zu einem präsidentiellen Regierungssystem statt des damaligen parlamentarischen Regierungssystems in Kirgisistan, eine Verstaatlichung der Kumtor-Mine sowie die Legalisierung der Polygamie. Bei der Parlamentswahl entfielen 6,14 % der abgegebenen Stimmen auf Butun Kirgisistan-Emgek, sodass das Wahlbündnis aufgrund der 7-Prozent-Hürde den Einzug in das kirgisische Parlament knapp verpasste. Im Dezember 2015, zwei Monate nach der Parlamentswahl, gaben beide Parteien das Ende ihres Bündnisses bekannt.

Nach der Parlamentswahl 2015 verlor Emgek deutlich an Bedeutung und spielte auf nationaler Ebene keine relevante Rolle mehr. Bei der Parlamentswahl 2020, deren Ergebnis nach Massenprotesten wegen Stimmenkauf und Wahlmanipulation annulliert wurde, trat die Partei nicht an. Die politischen Umwälzungen in Kirgisistan nach der Wahl und insbesondere der Aufstieg Sadyr Dschaparows zum neuen Präsidenten Kirgisistans führten zu einem Erstarken der Partei Emgek. Mehrere ehemalige Abgeordnete und Unterstützer der langjährigen Regierungspartei Sozialdemokratische Partei Kirgisistans (SDPK) wechselten zu Emgek, nachdem die SDPK durch interne Machtkämpfe und den Rücktritt von Präsident Sooronbai Dscheenbekow an Einfluss verloren hatte. Zu den bedeutendsten Politikern, die von der SDPK zu Emgek wechselten, zählt Dschanybek Abirow, der seit September 2018 Vorsitzender des Stadtrats von Bischkek war. Am 2. März 2021 kündigte er seinen vorläufigen Rücktritt von diesem Amt an, um bei der Lokalwahl am 11. April 2021 als Spitzenkandidat von Emgek in Bischkek zu kandidieren. Die Lokalwahl in Bischkek ergab ein Ergebnis von 13,87 % der abgegebenen Stimmen für Emgek, wodurch die Partei stärkste Kraft in Bischkek wurde und damit die größte Fraktion im neu gebildeten Stadtrat bildet. Während die Partei in Bischkek die Wahl gewinnen konnte, blieb sie im Süden des Landes weitestgehend bedeutungslos.

Project EDWARD tweets reached
more than 37 million people
Twitter messages in support of Project EDWARD reached more than 37 million people in the three months leading up to the campaign.
On European Day Without a Road Death itself, September 19, 2018, a 25 million Twitter reach was measured.
A total of 31 European countries took part in Project EDWARD, and safer roads partnerships and police forces across the UK teamed up to show their support.
Among the famous people tweeting their support for the initiative was Nico Rosberg, the 2016 F1 World Champion, who described road safety as 'something very important to me.'
Devised in 2016 as Project EDWARD by the European Traffic Police Network (TISPOL), the initiative once again aimed to raise awareness of road safety and reduce the number of people killed every day on the roads of Europe.
Provisional figures show that 50 people lost their lives on Europe's roads on 19 September – one of whom has from the UK.
TISPOL General Secretary Ruth Purdie commented: "The figure of 50 deaths on Europe's roads on Project EDWARD day is below the average of 70. But we must remember that there is a terrible tragedy behind every one of these deaths, as well as a massive economic impact.
"That is why we must continue to play our parts – whether as politicians, policy makers, police officers or simply as individual road users – to take responsibility for our own safety and that of others. Because it is the simple act of taking individual responsibility that would lead to a significant and sustained reduction in road death.
"We should, however, be proud of our efforts in raising awareness of road safety through Project EDWARD. The best-ever social media figures confirm that Project EDWARD struck a chord far beyond the road safety sector.
"There is no single solution, but we must be willing to look for new ideas, new partners and new technology. But above all, we need to work together to clamp down on dangerous behaviour.
"We firmly believe that if each road user can make small changes to reduce risk, then together we can make some big improvements – and reduce the number of people who die or are seriously injured on Europe's roads.
"With Project EDWARD we have a great resource to motivate road users to reduce risks and improve safety while driving, riding, walking or cycling. A day without a road death should be our goal every day, not just on 19 September."

Darikwa: "I'm Enjoying my Football"
Spireites right back Tendayi Darikwa put in another strong personal performance as his side swept Crawley Town aside 3-0 on Tuesday night.
On paper, beating the side sitting bottom of the League 1 table might not seem overly impressive, but off the back of two tough defeats at strong opposition the match carried extra relevance.
An Eoin Doyle double and a second half Jay O'Shea belter gave the Spireites the points and moved them up into fifth in the table.
After the match Darikwa explained that his teammates had never expected an easy evening's work.
He said: "We knew it was going to be a difficult day, they're down there scrapping for their lives and no team battling down there is going to come and lie down.
"We knew that if we stuck to our game we'd hopefully get the three points and thankfully we have."
Darikwa has excelled in recent games, putting in a particularly strong display at Derby County in the FA Cup, but the Nottingham-native is just happy to be in the team.
"I'm enjoying my football," said Darikwa. "I've always said that I'm happy to be playing in any position, that doesn't matter to me, I'm aiming to keep improving and putting in good performances for the team and for the club."
Another Spireites bonus on the night was the return to first team action of Drew Talbot, who has suffered with a long-standing groin injury layoff. While Darikwa and Talbot share a position, the incumbent right back is pleased to see his colleague back.
He said: "Drew's been back in training for a while now but it's good to see him back out on the pitch. He's helped me a lot through my career from helping me as a young lad and I've learned a few things from him so it's good to see him back.
"I used to play in front of Drew when I was on the right side of midfield. I've stepped in there since he's been injured, but now it's good to see him getting some minutes."
