We leave this bright and frosty morning in Wales to travel back in time to the Middle East during the period of WWI. The Seven Pillars of Wisdom has one of the most poetic starts for a book which is essentially about the military and diplomatic shenanigans of that time and place.
Some of the evil of my tale may have been inherent in our circumstances. For years we lived anyhow with one another in the naked desert, under the indifferent heaven. By day the hot sun fermented us; and we were dizzied by the beating wind. At night we were stained by dew, and shamed into pettiness by the innumerable silence of stars. We were a self-centred army without parade or gesture, devoted to freedom, the second of man's creeds, a purpose so ravenous that is devoured all our strength, a hope so transcendent that our earlier ambitions faded in its glare. As time went by our need to fight for the ideal increased to an unquestioning possession, riding with spur and rein over our doubts. Willy-nilly it became a faith.
This book is still read by those who go to fight in the Middle-East. Lawrence's knowledge as a linguist and an archaeologist of the area gave him insights into the complications of religion and ethnicity of the Middle East that almost no other Englishman had. It is an epic read and I've only done some chunks of it. The language though is beautiful, the settings real and all the characters come alive as you journey with Lawrence.
He famously lost the manuscript on a train in 1919 and had to write the whole thing again from memory. It was published as a limited private edition in 1926 and a trade edition in 1935.
I am eating boiled eggs in my camel eggcup with toast soldiers and hot strong coffee as they drink it in the desert.
I never knew that he lost the manuscript on a train! That must have been so frustrating! However, it shows a true dedication to the book to sit and right it all out again!
On a unrelated note: I love that egg cup in the photograph! Is it a camel?
Heard this one earlier "So they have started to bring up the Chilean mi#r8s&ne230; Juan by Juan" lolLOve the pic og the boy dressed as Harry Potter with the 3-headed dog. EPIC.


Abstract: Background: This qualitative study analysed user, carer and staff perspectives on day and accommodation services for people with enduring mental illness in the London Borough of Hillingdon. Method: Twelve focus groups, attended by 95 participants, were conducted by the independent research team and the data collected were subject to constant comparative analysis. Findings: Practical and strategic recommendations were generated for the funding agency. Day services were valued highly for preventing relapse and promoting independence. Users sought a more active role in developing opportunities in day and accommodation services and staff were believed to hold a pivotal role in offering ongoing support. Conclusions: In the area studied, facilitating discharge, managing risk and meeting shelter needs had been emphasised at the expense of user empowerment and access to meaningful occupation. Day and accommodation services enable users with enduring mental illness to achieve stability and increase independence, but are currently under-resourced and undermined by wider service pressures.

Redcar and Cleveland Council
There's trouble at mills
Protesters are fighting plans for wind turbines on Teesside, claiming they are too tall.
Amec Wind and Corus plan to site 19 wind turbines on the steel company's land near Bran Sands.
The turbines would have a maximum height to blade tip of 458ft. The proposal is due to go before Redcar and Cleveland Council next month.
But residents living in Warrenby, close to the Corus site, have launched a petition opposing the location and size of the turbines.
Their concerns come despite exhibitions held by Amec across Teesside to show residents how the turbines would look.
Della Marshall, of Warrenby 50/50 Residents Club, said residents were not opposed to the turbine plan, but were concerned about the impact it could have.
"Residents are concerned about where they will be sited and how big they will be," she said.
She also plans to suggest to Amec that a scale model be produced to show exactly how the turbines would be positioned.
The group's Fiona Nicholls added: "Local residents and businesses in Warrenby and people in Dormanstown have expressed concerns to us.
"We have launched our petition as we want to make sure our concerns are heard by Amec and the council before it goes through the planning process," she added.
Referring to a separate proposal for an offshore wind farm by Northern Offshore Wind, Fiona said: "Why can't all the turbines be sited out at sea?"
She added: "Sitting in my living room I can already see the industry and chimneys, now this will add to what is already there."
Residents now hope to arrange a meeting with Amec.
Sandra Painting, of Amec Wind, said five exhibitions had already been held across Teesside in a bid to inform residents.
"In terms of impact on people, it would be very limited," she said. "They are tall structures and we are trying to make them fit within the works as best as possible."
She added they would welcome requests from residents seeking more information.
Hartlepool Council - which was this week asked for its views as the turbines will be visible from coastal areas of the town - has already backed the plan.
However, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has in the past expressed concerns that wind farms could affect birdlife.

Owens and Erasmus included in ConfEx panel to discuss respect for referees
Protecting and promoting respect for rugby's match officials as the sport continues to grow globally will be the focus of what promises to be an engaging panel discussion at the World Rugby Conference and Exhibition 2016 (ConfEx).
Rugby World Cup 2015 final referee Nigel Owens and former South Africa international and current Munster Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus will headline the panelists for the session on 15 November.
The panel will debate recent studies that suggest an erosion of respect and the impact that it will have on recruitment and retention of referees at all levels. And with the on-field action centered around respect for the match officials, the panel will discuss ways that any negative trends could be addressed.
The panel will feature key figures from the world of rugby, including:
Mick Cleary – Rugby correspondent at The Daily Telegraph
Rassie Erasmus – Director of Rugby, Munster Rugby and former South Africa flanker
Nigel Owens – Rugby World Cup 2015 final referee
Alain Rolland – World Rugby High Performance Match Officials Manager and Rugby World Cup 2007 final referee
Taking place on 14-15 November, 2016 at the Hilton London Metropole, ConfEx 2016 will provide the rugby community with the ideal opportunity to reflect on many aspects of the sport as it continues its global development.
World Rugby Chief Executive Brett Gosper said: "Respect for match officials is a cornerstone of rugby. It is an aspect of the game that is quoted often, by proud aficionados, impressed onlookers and envious followers of other sports. But there is evidence that this respect is being eroded at all levels of the game.
"This panel session is therefore going to be very interesting as we seek to engage a strategy to reverse this trend. We will hear the views of two world-class referees, a respected coach and a vastly experienced rugby journalist as we plan to protect the role of the rugby match official."
Owens added: "For me, rugby is the best sport in the world and I have always felt respected and allowed to be myself. There are a lot of good people involved in other sports, and we can't take a moral high ground because there is plenty that rugby could do better. But what rugby has always done well is discipline and it needs to stay that way.
"It starts with abuse of match officials – that's a no-go in rugby and must be protected. Referees can add an instant 10 yards to a penalty, or brandish a yellow card, and we know we will be supported by the governing bodies, by the players and even most of the crowd. I would hate to think of that no longer being the case so I am looking forward to being involved in this panel. It is worrying to think that abuse of match officials is on the rise and it must be nipped in the bud immediately to stop it from getting worse."
World Rugby ConfEx offers a dynamic platform to discuss, learn and create partnerships that will project rugby's values worldwide. Under the theme, The future of rugby, the leading conference will build on the success of previous editions, gathering senior representatives from across the global rugby, sporting and business spectrum, to discuss the key topics, opportunities and challenges of a sport now played by a record 7.73 million men, women and children across 121 member unions.
The World Rugby Awards 2016 will be held on the eve of the event for the first time. Taking place at the Hilton London Metropole on the evening of 13 November, the World Rugby Awards will celebrate the accomplishments of players, coaches and teams from across the globe during 2016.

Late August and early September are times of change: the end of summer vacation, school is starting, the maples are beginning to turn, fields and meadows are suddenly glowing with goldenrod and a well-known but physically unremarkable plant is at its peak — ragweed.
Ragweed, whose Latin genus name "ambrosia" means "food of the gods," is not usually on most people's list of favorite wildflowers. In fact, it probably doesn't have enough of a flower to be considered a wildflower, just a spiky green projection that is a literal pollen factory. One plant can produce more than a billion grains of pollen per season, and that pollen is considered one of the most allergenic of all pollens. In addition, ragweed is hard to get rid of as it is resistant to many herbicides, readily germinates under harsh conditions, has leaves that are mildly irritating, and has seeds of the annoying burr variety that get stuck in our socks and behind dogs' ears. So, with good reason, ragweed is considered a noxious weed by most.
Goldenrod, frequently blamed for causing allergic reactions, does not cause hay fever. Ragweed, which flowers at the same time, is the real culprit. If you think a little about the flowering habits of these two plants it becomes obvious why this is so.
Plants have evolved numerous pollination schemes. Goldenrods produce colorful flowers, some even smell good, to attract insects. Their pollen is fat and sticky, which helps it stick to visiting insects that carry the pollen from flower to flower, pollinating as they go, too heavy to become airborne.
Ragweed, on the other hand, is wind-pollinated. Instead of attracting insects with showy flowers, ragweed releases copious amounts of pollen into the air with the hope that some will reach a neighboring ragweed flower.
We really only have ourselves to blame for our problems with ragweed. Ragweed was not very common in the United States until the Europeans started to settle here in the 1700s. In addition, research shows that the increased amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere amplifies ragweed pollen production, so as we continue to burn fossil fuels, we can anticipate more intense hay fever seasons.
There are positives to ragweed; these plants play a vital role in the seasonal continuum of food for many insects and birds. The larvae of butterflies and moths feast on ragweed in late summer. The burrs contain seeds that are important winter foods for many birds.
So, while a source of annoyance to us, ragweed is a horn of plenty for some of our non-human neighbors, one piece of the puzzle that makes the earth such a rich and varied place. Perhaps Thoreau was contemplating ragweed when he said, "Each humblest plant, or weed, as we call it, stands there to express some thought or mood of ours; and yet how long it stands in vain! ... Beauty and true wealth are always thus cheap and despised."

Q: Creating RESTful architecture to communicate between ASP.NET web app and MVC 3 App using JSON I need to take GET fields from my asp.net web app (first name and last name). It needs to send that data from frontend(asp.net web app) using JSON to MVC 3 app. MVC 3 App would communicate with database, retrieve values and should serialize them into json object and POST to the front end(ASP.NET web app). Can anyone explain with a sample code how I would accomplish this?

A: You could use the WebClient class. It allows you to send HTTP requests to any web application. As far as the JSON part is concerned you will need a JSON serializer. You could use the built-in JavaScriptSerializer class or a third party such as Json.NET.
So let's suppose that you have the following controller action in your ASP.NET MVC 3 application that you want to invoke:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Foo(Bar bar)
{
    ...
    return Json(new
    {
        status = "OK"
    });
}

where the Bar class contains some properties (could be simple or complex types):
public class Bar
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

Now you could invoke it like this from the client side:
using (var client = new WebClient())
{
    client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/json";
    var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
    var json = serializer.Serialize(new
    {
        firstName = "first",
        lastName = "last"
    });
    var resultJson = client.UploadString("http://example.com/foo", json);
    var result = serializer.Deserialize<Result>(resultJson);
}

where you would define the Result class to match the JSON structure returned by the application:
public class Result
{
    public string Status { get; set; }
}

Tomasita Ester Casís (Ciudad de Panamá, 21 de diciembre de 1878 - Ibidem, 1962) Fue una educadora, dirigente magisterial y activista por los derechos de las mujer panameña, miembro fundadora de la primera Asociación Feminista de Panamá y de la Asociación Magisterio Panameño Unido. Es una reconocida por formar la primera sociedad cultural femenina de Panamá denominada Club Ariel.

Como pionera de la educación formó a generaciones de mujeres y hombres, estudiantes destacados, y algunas congéneres con las que trabajó y militó posteriormente en el movimiento feminista, como es el caso de Juana Oller.

Biografía

Primeros años
Después de terminados sus estudios primarios en la Escuela de San Felipe de Niñas No.2, ingresó como alumna en el Colegio dirigido por la Colombiana María Luisa Munévar de Cristofine. Cuando Tomasita contaba con diecinueve años de edad ganó una beca para estudiar en la Escuela Normal de Institutoras, dirigida por Rosa y Matilde Rubiano.

Vida como educadora
En 1900 recibió su grado de maestra. Ese mismo año fue nombrada maestra de la sección preparatoria del Colegio Secundario del Istmo para varones, dirigida por Nicolás Victoria Jaén y Melchor Lasso de la Vega. Tres años más tarde desempeñó el cargo de maestra en la Escuela de San Felipe de varones de la que fue directora en 1905.

Entre 1906 a 1907 prestó sus servicios como maestra en la sección preparatoria de la Escuela Superior de Señoritas de la capital, dirigida por la colombiana Encarnación Vaquera.

En 1907 se le designó Directora de la Escuela de Santa Ana No.2 para niñas. Ocupó ese cargo hasta 1926, cuando ésta pasó a formar parte del Centro Amador Guerrero, con el nombre de Escuela República de Cuba.

Fundación del Club Ariel
La Escuela Santa Ana No.2 apenas comenzaba a funcionar, dándole la oportunidad a Tomasita Casís de poner en práctica sus ideas renovadoras sobre educación. El primer problema que enfrentó fue la escasez de la matrícula escolar que sólo llegaba a 70 alumnas. Emprendió una campaña de propaganda entre las familias del barrio, que se mostraban refractarias a la enseñanza. El trabajo resultó muy positivo, al pasar los años esta escuela se convirtió en un gran centro educativo con una mayor matrícula. Estando en la dirección de esa escuela, Juana Oller organizó junto a otras maestras el Club Ariel, primera Sociedad Cultural Femenina de Panamá, además, se puso en práctica el primer jardín de la infancia del país y se iniciaron los ejercicios de desocupación de edificios para prevenir desastres.

Activismo político
Tomasita Casís fue miembro de la Sociedad Nacional para el Progreso de la Mujer y posteriormente de la Liga Patriótica Femenina. En estas organizaciones tuvo siempre responsabilidades relacionadas con la educación.

Reconocimientos
En 1928 Tomasita Casís se jubiló, y en 1960 el Gobierno Nacional le concedió la Condecoración de Cruz de la Orden Vasco Nuñez de Balboa en el Grado de Comendador.

Who will host 'Daily Show' after Trevor Noah's last episode?
Sarah RidleyDecember 11, 2022
The Daily Show has yet to hire a permanent replacement for outgoing host Trevor Noah. But Comedy Central has recruited some big names to run the late-night program in the meantime.
On Tuesday, the cable network announced that Al Franken, Chelsea Handler, DL Hughley, Leslie Jones, John Leguizamo, Hasan Minhaj, Kal Penn, Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes and Marlon Wayans will begin as rotating guest hosts of "The Daily Show" March 17. January. Noah's final episode airs this Thursday.
"As we begin Trevor's final week, we would like to thank him for his many contributions," Paramount Media Networks president Chris McCarthy said in a statement.
"Trevor redefined the show, as did Jon Stewart before him, and as we look to the future we look forward to continuing it with the help of this incredible roster of talent and correspondents alongside the immensely talented 'Daily Show' team to reinvent once."
In September, Noah shared his plans to leave The Daily Show after seven years. On an October episode of The Tonight Show, the comedian expressed a desire to travel the world in stand-up after his Daily Show tenure ends.
"It's time," Noah said while announcing his departure. "I realized there was another part of my life that I wanted to explore further. I miss learning other languages. I miss going to other countries and doing shows. I just miss being everywhere and doing everything."
The South African entertainer will kick off his career with a 28-city stand-up comedy tour of the United States following The Daily Show early next year. His "Off The Record" tour begins January 20th in Atlanta and includes five shows in California.
On June 2nd, the comic will play at the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, followed by four shows at the Masonic in San Francisco, running from November 30th to December 3rd, 2023. No Los Angeles dates have been announced.
"I think everyone's gone through a phase of looking at their life — every single person," Noah said on The Tonight Show.
"If you're not looking at your life and thinking about what you'd like to do differently, then you haven't experienced what we've all experienced, and I think so [my departure] is a joyful thing."

Vital £1m flood prevention scheme in Axminster completed
It will protect more than 160 homes from flooding
Daniel ClarkLocal Democracy Reporter
A £1 million flood prevention scheme in Axminster that will provide vital protection for more than 160 homes has been completed.
The Devon County Council scheme in Willhay Lane has widened and realigned the Millbrook culvert to improve its capacity and flow of water.
A new structure has fully enclosed part of the flood prone channel and earlier phases of the scheme enabled the construction of a flood defence wall and the installation of a 'tree-catcher' debris grill upstream of the culvert beneath Willhay Lane. The channel downstream of the railway towards the main River Axe has also been widened.
Street trading in East Devon - the new rules that come into force next week
It comes after the severe storms in 2012 in which over 40 properties were flooded in Axminster, with The Cricketers and Willhay Lane the main areas affected.
Axminster's vital flood relief scheme completed
Cllr Roger Croad, Devon County Council Cabinet Member with responsibility for flooding, said: "I'm sure these improvements will be welcomed by the local residents in this part of Axminster who have suffered flooding in the past. This has been one of our priority schemes to reduce risk and it has improved the standard of protection up to a one in 100 year flood event."
Closure order granted for flat after evidence of underage drinking, drugs and anti-social behaviour
Cllr Ian Hall, Devon County Councillor for Axminster, added:: "These improvements have removed the bottleneck where the Millbrook approaches Willhay Lane and the rail culvert. This now reduces the risk of flooding to around 160 homes. I recently inspected the area and would like to say a great job has been completed and I would also like to thank Devon County Council, East Devon District Council and my predecessor Andrew Moulding for all the work involved to see this project come to fruition – a real team effort."

Warkocz kometarny – strumień gazów i pyłu wydobywający się z komety pod wpływem oddziaływania wiatru słonecznego. Z uwagi na różnorodność wydobywających się z komety substancji, posiada ona dwa odrębne warkocze – gazowy oraz pyłowy, z których każdy skierowany jest w innym kierunku.

Warkocz gazowy komety, wyróżniający się niebieskim odcieniem, skierowany jest w stronę przeciwną do Słońca zgodnie z kierunkiem rozchodzenia się wiatru słonecznego i pokrywa się z liniami pola magnetycznego. Warkocz pyłowy, z uwagi na zbyt dużą masę wchodzących w jego skład drobin, nie ulega ciśnieniu promieniowania korpuskularnego Słońca i jego kierunek zasadniczo zgodny jest trajektorią poruszania się komety. Często obserwowane zakrzywienie warkocza pyłowego odzwierciedla jej ruch orbitalny.

Warkocz komety, jak również jej koma, oświetlane są przez Słońce – pył staje się widoczny dzięki zwykłemu odbiciu światła, podczas gdy poświata gazów spowodowana jest ich jonizacją pod wpływem wiatru słonecznego. Długość warkocza może przekraczać jednostkę astronomiczną, mierzącą w przybliżeniu 150 milionów kilometrów.

JVC KD-LH300 I've had the player for approx 1.5 yrs. About 6 months ago it suddenly stopped playing mp3's in mid song. The id3 display still showed the song but the timer didn't move on the song. I ejected the cd and it would not play any other cd's . I tried resetting the unit several times with no luck. After a few days it suddenly started playing again. It was fine until about 2 weeks ago when the same thing happened. I've tried all the same things even a few new things includind disconnecting the battery altogether to try to reset and nothing. Has anybody else experienced this problem.
My sandisk sansa e260 mp3 player wont trun on it goes to the start up screen and thin keeps repeting that screen how can i fix this does any1 know?
Hi, the Sansa E260 is a portable MP3 player released by SanDisk in 2004. Several problems may cause the E260 to not function as intended from time to time. Common problems that occur are the device freezing, album art not appearing on the screen when a song is playing, pictures not filling the screen size and missing information on the separate tracks. You can troubleshoot the device and fix many of these common problems without the need of a service technician.
1. The Sansa E260 may freeze or function in other unexpected ways from time to time. This generally occurs when the unit's software has developed an error. Reset the device to clear the error and return the device to normal working operation. A unit reset is similar to rebooting your computer. You won't lose any data stored on your device.
To reset the E260, press and hold the "Power/Menu" button for about 15 seconds. The device will be forced to power down, during which the error will be cleared. You can restart the E260 as normal once the reset is complete.
2. The E260 supports viewing album art on the display screen during the playing of a song. You may find that your album art is not showing up on the display when music is playing on the device. To fix this, make sure the associated album art file is in the same folder as the song being played. You will need to connect the E260 into your computer to move the album art files into the music folder.
3. Photos displayed on the E260 will not show up as full-screen shots if they are not cropped to the correct dimensions. The E260 software does not support stretching pictures to fit the full screen. To ensure your photographs will display on the full screen, crop the images to 128x64 in photo-editing software prior to transferring the image on the E260.
4. The E260 displays information about each song using the ID3 tags associated with each track. ID3 tags hold information such as the artist name, album name, track number, year it was released and other information. If the E260 shows an artist or album as unknown, the information in the ID3 tag was not filled in. You can insert information into the ID3 tags from your computer.
To change the ID3 information, right-click on the music file and choose "Properties." Click on the "Summary" tab and choose "Advanced." The ID3 fields will display in the window. Insert any of the missing information and click "OK." When you upload the song onto your E260, the newly inserted information will show up in the display.
Product Description Coby MP300-1GBLK MP3 player 1 GB flash memory and USB drive with LCD, high-contrast LCD display with 7-color backlight, plays MP3 and WMA digital music files, ID3 tag support for song information display, mobile data storage function, convenient integrated USB plug( no cables required), USB 2.0 hi-speed for fast file transfers, black.
