Divine Oduduru breaks records. On Saturday at the Michael Johnson Invitational, he broke the 100m record for Texas Tech and winning the 100m, with a time of 10.10, his personal best and that time ranks 6th in the country and 10th in the world. Additionally, the 4x400m took second with a time of 4:02.82, Trey Culver took first place with a height of 7'3″ with many more marks set (via official site). The distance athletes were in California participating in the Bryan Clay Invitational with 10 runners posting personal bests (via official site).
Softball dropped 2 of 3 this weekend to Iowa State, winning the last game 5-3 (via official site). They're battling, but sometimes they're just not there to get over that hump.
The volleyball team played two matches this weekend, dropping both, once to Baylor (1-2) and then to Tulsa (1-2), the only two losses this spring (via official site).
The ladies tennis team defeated West Virginia 4-0 on Friday (via official site) and defeated Iowa State 4-0 on Sunday (via official site). The men's tennis team lost to No. 6 TCU 4-2 on Sunday afternoon (via official site). The men will play Oklahoma State on Friday in the Big 12 Championship in Austin, while the ladies will play, but opponent and time is TBD.
The ladies golf team finished 6th in the Big 12 Championship this weekend at Dallas Athletic Club (via official site). The ladies will find out on Wednesday if they will advance to an NCAA Regional. The No. 12 men's team will kick off their Big 12 Championship today at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, 36 holes today, then 18 on Tuesday, and 18 on Wednesday (via official site).

The baseball team won the series against Oklahoma on Friday and Saturday and I've updated the series thread. If you haven't seen what happened on Friday night, a walk-off win by balk, then make sure and check it out. With the weekend's results in the books, Oklahoma State is leading the Big 12 at 12-3, Texas is 11-4 with Texas Tech and Oklahoma at 10-5 and sitting third and fourth overall. The Red Raiders have a two-game series in Fayetteville against Arkansas on Tuesday and Wednesday. If I have time, I may do a series thread for this mid-week game as Arkansas is ranked No. 3 overall, but they were swept by Mississippi State this weekend.
Keonte Kennedy (6-4/180), a 2018 shooting guard from Austin Westlake had previously signed with Xavier, but with the coaching change at Xavier, they've let him out of his letter intent and now, Texas Tech and Memphis (now coached by Penny Hardaway as Tubby Smith was fired recently) are the favorites to land his services (via ZachMasonSports @ Twitter). With Zhaire Smith staying in the NBA Draft, there are two spots available and there probably isn't a coach in the country that can claim to play freshmen if they're ready moreso than Chris Beard. See Exhibits A and B: Zhaire Smith and Trey Culver. Kennedy is a shooter and you can check out his highlights here.
I couldn't agree more with Don Williams sentiment, that the football program should restore their annual awards (via A-J Media's Don Williams):
You see, there was a period from the early 1960s through 2008 when the Red Raiders annually bestowed a number of in-house honors that, for some reason, just stopped about a decade ago. The Dell Morgan Memorial Courage Award and the Pete Cawthon Memorial Team MVP date to 1961 and 1962, and the Donny Anderson Sportsmanship Award debuted in 1969.
The JT King Most Improved Player, the Dare to Be Great Award for dedication to the off-season strength and conditioning program and the E.J. Holub Double Tough Award were added in the late 1970s and the early 1980s, and in 1987 the Clint Ramsey Academic Effort recognition rounded out the honors.
Near as I can tell, and according to Tech records, none have been bestowed since the chaotic last days of the Mike Leach tenure in 2009. I don't know whether that was a cause or a coincidence, but it's time to bring them back.
For three reasons: A) Tech needs to spend less time dreaming up "new traditions" and be guardian of its old ones. B) Fans gain insight into how their Red Raiders players are regarded within the team. C) The players who earn the distinctions have something to be proud of, not to mention display in the years to come to wives, kids, buddies and business associates.
A couple of things here. I had a Twitter conversation with Spencer about Don implying that Texas Tech doesn't need any more new traditions and I didn't read his words that way. I read it as bring back something that honored the past players and the current players. I don't think Don is against new traditions ever and I didn't think his words said that, I read this as wanting to protect the old traditions. There's room for both. Also, I had a comment about this maybe being a shot against Leach and I didn't get that vibe at all, I think what Don was writing here was that the end of Leach's tenure at Texas Tech in 2009 was chaotic (it was) and that's when the awards stopped. I don't know, maybe I'm reading this wrong on both fronts.
There are just a handful of awards that I could find: Del Morgan Most Courageous Award; Pete Cawthon Most Valuable Player; E.J. Holub Double Tough Award; Donny Anderson Sportsmanship Award; Dare to Be Great Award; J.T. King Award Most Improved Player; and Clint Ramsey Academic Effort Award.
You can go check out past winners for yourself (on page 129 of this very long to load PDF) and include Brandon Jones, Cody McGuire, Kliff Kingsbury, Dwayne Slay, etc. Anyway, my point is that these awards were a pretty cool thing and it would be great if they came back. I'm all aboard this train. Choo, choo.

Inhabiting the former stables building at heritage listed Como House, The Stables of Como brings a surprisingly relaxed, country-in-the-city appeal to one of Melbourne's most posh inner city neighbourhoods. And rather than getting all damask and frou-frou on us, the cafe is in safe hands with the ICKE & IGBY group, known for creating Richmond's much-loved Friends of Mine and the equally excellent Porgie + Mr. Jones in Hawthorn.
Set at the rear of the main Como House building, just off a sunny and secluded courtyard, the airy and light-filled space pulls off a likably understated farmhouse feel.
The menu pays homage to the Como's historic past, offering fancy high teas to eat-in and picnic baskets to take out to the garden (with frisbee and rugs included). There's an impressive range of old-fashioned, house-made cakes and biscuits, while for the more savoury inclined there are plenty of solid brunch classics. Think expertly done egg breakfasts, salads, chunky baguettes and rustic ploughman's plates.
So while a visit to an antique-filled, heritage-listed house may not be on the radar for most, you might be surprised just how relaxed a ramble around the tranquil gardens, some top-notch food and coffee, and a little peace from the frenzied pace of the city can make you feel.

Q: How to get a password encrypted since the Java Script file in my web application? I'm designing some code for a standard login in a web application, I consider that doing the password encryption on client side is better than making mongo server doing it.
So, if I have this code ...
$("#btnSignUp").click( function () {

        var sign = {

            user:$("#signUser").val(),
            pass:$("#signPass").val()
        };

    });

And then I'd do a post of sign with the password value already encrypted, how could I achieve this? Does JavaScript support AES?

A: You should submit the login page over https and make use of certificates to do the encryption. JavaScript is never a good idea for things that need security since you can control/influence the execution of it using developer tools built into most browsers

A: There are many libraries available for javascript to encrypt your data. Check out http://crypto.stanford.edu/sjcl/

A: I'd recommend using AES encryption in your JavaScript code. See Javascript AES encryption for libraries and links. The trouble you'll have is picking a key that is only available on the client side. Perhaps you can prompt the user? Or hash together some client system information that's not sent to the server.

It's taken me years, my whole life to feel like I belong some where. But finally after these years of change. I belong right where I am. I can say that camping, hiking, geocaching has brought us to a point of togetherness that is close to perfection.
This past weekend we went up to Banning State Park for our first camping trip of the summer.
Finding nature and each other.
Understanding the quiet, the heart.
We gravitate towards each other on these hikes.
It is what my heart had been yearning for without me realizing it all these years.
Beautiful! It is so inspiring that you enjoyed your time camping together so much!
What a wonderful post! Sometimes, it is difficult to realize we belong right where we are. I LOVE the puddle pic! Thanks for sharing! Visiting from FMF.
forgot to follow my last time on here! signing up now, can't wait to see more!

Q: Why does my loop only read one char from my .obj file? I'm trying to write a reader for Wavefront .OBJ files so I can draw meshes in OpenGL. To do this, I've tried to accumulate some basic C++ file IO knowledge since I mostly know java. I understand from this questions answer that >> can be used to read in data from the stream.
My strategy for reading my OBJ file is too first read in the char which identifies what the next pieces of data are, then keep trying to read in the numbers until I can't anymore. Then I try to read in the next char. My code is as follows:
std::ifstream objReader;
objReader.open("resources//file.obj");
char m;
int vindex = 0;
int iindex = 0;
while (objReader >> m) {
    std::cout << "here" << std::endl;
    if (m == 'v') {
        GLfloat cv;
        while (objReader >> cv) {
            objData[vindex] = cv; //obj data is my verticies array to be drawn
            std::cout << objData[vindex] << std::endl;
            vindex++;

        }
    }
    else if (m == 'f') {
        GLuint ci;
        while (objReader >> ci) {
            indicies[iindex] = ci; //indicies is my EBO array
            std::cout << indicies[iindex] << std::endl;
            iindex++;
        }
    }
}

The file data I'm using can be found here.
Now when I run this code, it opens up the file fine and it sucesfully reads in the first line. It indetifies the marker as the char v then it stores the following 3 floats into my array. The problem is, it just ends there. The loop breaks and it never even continues to the second line. Somehow, it can no longer find any other chars in the file. Why does this happen and how can I fix it?
Thanks!

A: Your inner loop parses the floats like this:
while (objReader >> cv)

I'm assuming that this GLfloat is a typedef for a float or a double, based on your description.
The only way that this loop ends is when the operator>> fails. And when operator>> fails, it puts the stream into an error state. After the error state is set, all subsequent operations on the stream fail automatically.
So, subsequent to this, when execution returns to the top level loop the second time around:
while (objReader >> m) {

This will now fail immediately, because the stream is now in an error state.
You could manually clear the error state, but this is not really a clean way to handle input.
If you always expect three float values, replace the inner loop with a for loop that iterates three times.
If the number of float variables varies, I guess you can stick with your current approach, and explicitly clear the error condition by invoking the clear() method, after the while loop:
objReader.clear();

For a simple parsing requirement that's probably good enough...

A: No point repeating Sam Varshavchik's answer, so here's a solution:

*

*Read each line in the file into into a std::string with std::getline

*write the line into a std::stringstream

*read the character out of the stringstream as you do now and enter the integer or float case

*read integers of floats from the stringstream until end of line just like you do now.

Quick, untested hack example that should work:
std::ifstream objReader;
objReader.open("resources//file.obj");
char m;
int vindex = 0;
int iindex = 0;
std::string line;
while (std::getline(objReader, line)) {

    std::cout << "here: " << line << std::endl;
    std::stringstream linereader(line);
    if (linereader >> m) // only enter if we read a character on the line
                         // testing here because we use the while to get a line
    {// and continue as you did, but reading linereader instead of objReader
        if (m == 'v') { //
            GLfloat cv;
            while (linereader >> cv) {
                objData[vindex] = cv; //obj data is my verticies array to be drawn
                std::cout << objData[vindex] << std::endl;
                vindex++;

            }
        }
        else if (m == 'f') {
            GLuint ci;
            while (linereader >> ci) {
                indicies[iindex] = ci; //indicies is my EBO array
                std::cout << indicies[iindex] << std::endl;
                iindex++;
            }
        }
    }
}

Wyatt's World
House Speaker Patti McLeod seeks re election in Watson Lake
Watson Lake MLA Patti McLeod is hoping to serve another term with the Yukon Party after this year's territorial election.
Maura Forrest
McLeod said she decided to seek re-election because she's passionate about representing her community, where she's lived for more than 35 years.
"My focus has always been to represent the needs and desires of the people of the Watson Lake riding," she said.
Since being elected in 2011, McLeod has had a lower profile than many of the other Yukon Party MLAs, as she has never held a cabinet portfolio.
Instead, she was chair of the committee of the whole – the assembly of all MLAs that considers new bills before they're passed.
In May 2016, McLeod was abruptly named Speaker of the Yukon Legislative Assembly after former Speaker David Laxton resigned over an allegation of sexual harassment.
McLeod said the new position was "quite unexpected," but the transition wasn't difficult.
"Being chair of the committee of the whole is really a training position, I guess, for being Speaker," she said.
During her term in office, McLeod also chaired the all-party select committee on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which was created in 2013. In January 2015, the committee released 21 recommendations regarding thecontroversial technology, including that First Nation consent should be required for any fracking development.
However, the group could not agree on some basic questions, including whether the technology should be allowed in the Yukon at all.
When the government's draft strategy for hydraulic fracturing was accidentally released to the media two months later, the opposition parties were quick to accuse the Yukon Party of having made up its mind to promotefracking even before the select committee was convened.
But McLeod rejects that idea. "At the end of the day, the committee as a whole came up with 21 different recommendations for government, which government has decided to accept," she said. "So I guess I don't agree withthat statement that has been made that we went in with a preconceived notion."
Within her riding, McLeod said she's worked hard to improve health care in Watson Lake.
"It's quite a challenge to attract doctors to rural communities throughout the country," she said. "And I think we've been quite successful."
In April, Ernie Jamieson announced he's seeking the Liberal nomination in Watson Lake. The NDP has yet to announce a potential candidate for the riding.

A Level Physics students reach for the stars in UK Space Design Competition
A Level Physics students from City and Islington College are over the moon after reaching the national finals of the UK Space Design Competition.
Ten students from the college's Sixth Form Centre were part of a team including other schools and colleges that won the London and South East regional heat of the competition.
Each team was placed in a fictional space technology company created by the competition's organisers from the Space Science and Engineering Foundation.
The CANDI students were in a company called Earhart Advanced Industries and tasked with designing a spaceship to take 1,000 people to and from Mars.
The team worked together online because of the COVID pandemic to develop their design and then presented it to a panel of academic and industry experts.
The challenge aims to simulate real-life industry working and tests students' knowledge and expertise in science, engineering, design and business.
'My time at CANDI has exceeded my expectations. I feel supported and valued. The education I am getting here is to a standard which I wouldn't have imagined. It's much better than I thought it would be.' – Rayhan Miah, A Level Physics student
Physics student Rayhan Miah, 17, said: "We all worked very hard. It was a highly intensive situation, but I feel with the amount of effort and teamwork we put in, particularly towards the end, our win was definitely well-deserved.
"I was part of the structural team, which involved creating the main design of the spaceship, making sure I knew the dimensions, how to build it and that it maintained artificial gravity. It was quite a hectic and sometimes stressful experience with a lot of on-the-spot thinking, but I know now that if I have that sort of task in the future, I have the skills and ability to dedicate myself to something this challenging with good results too. I was proud of what we accomplished."
Rayhan, who hopes to work in aerospace engineering or astrophysics, added: "My time at CANDI has exceeded my expectations. I feel supported and valued. The education I am getting here is to a standard which I wouldn't have imagined. It's much better than I thought it would be.
"Doing this competition has made me more motivated to go into this area as a career. These types of opportunities open your eyes and give you the opportunity to see where your skills can apply in the future."
'The unique opportunities like this that CANDI provides set it apart from other colleges. It's the reason I applied to come here. You won't get this kind of experience anywhere else.' – Ansa Sajid, A Level Physics student
Another student, Ansa Sajid, 17, said: "I'm very happy. I didn't think we would win, but we did and we're very proud of ourselves. I love creating solutions to problems, and working with other people
who share similar interests was really good fun and rewarding. It was one of the best things I've done.
"The competition was completely online so communication was difficult, but everyone worked together and came up with lots of ideas and built on them. It was hard to make something that can power an entire ship that doesn't cost a huge amount of money. We also had to consider the human side of being on a ship for that long. As we got into it, we realised the need to keep them happy and healthy was just as important as the science."
Ansa, who hopes to study mechanical engineering at university, added: "I went to an all-girls school with a heavy focus on STEM and feminism that really encouraged us to get into these careers. Doing the competition has made me even more passionate about what I want to do.
"The unique opportunities like this that CANDI provides set it apart from other colleges. It's the reason I applied to come here. You won't get this kind of experience anywhere else."
The national finals are expected to take place at Imperial College London in March, with the winners heading to the world finals at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida the summer.
Physics teacher Sajib Al-Rashid said: "The UK Space Design Competition is a fantastic opportunity for students to work collaboratively and use their creativity to come up with solutions.
"The multi-disciplinary nature of the competition means you need people with a variety of interests, from the technical aspects of designing a space settlement to the human aspect of meeting the needs of people.
"Our students worked tirelessly from the start of the day until the final presentations and announcement of the winners. I am thrilled that they have won this round of the competition and will be going to the national finals early next year."

Various Reasons Why People Must Get To Hire A Good Swimming Pool Repair Service When people build a pool for their home or buy a home which has a pool installed, they mostly not realize how much work they need to do in trying to repair and also maintain their swimming pool. If homeowners could not maintain their swimming then it can be very dangerous for people to swim in them because of the reason that dangerous bacteria would build up in the swimming pool and is not safe to swim in. Hiring a reliable swimming pool service and repair technician would keep their dream of owning a swimming pool with no stress and problems, they can help people maintain and repair their pool. The service have chemicals like chlorine to easily keep them free from very harmful bacteria and algae to grow on their swimming pool, these service can clean swimming pool from different shapes and sizes. Most of these swimming pools have filters which can easily keep the water in the pool to be clean, but the filter could not effectively clean the water of the swimming pool on their own so the service can clean it thoroughly. These services can easily get to clean the leaves, sand and bugs which can easily get stuck up in the swimming pool and the service can take out most of them even when they sink at the bottom of the pool where it can clog the drain. Most of these swimming pool cleaning services can easily come out once a week and can get to clean out the debris in their pool and also check their filter to ensure that their pool would not get clogged.
These swimming pool cleaning service would also get to check the chemical levels of the water and add chemicals also if required, they can make sure that the pump is working properly also to maintain their pool. The swimming pool repair service would let their clients know if there are potential repairs needed for their pool they can also call them when something is wrong with their swimming pool when they inspect it.
Most of these swimming pool repair service would have the necessary equipment and tols to help them in repairing and also cleaning the swimming pool of their clients efficiently and with no added problems. The service would easily get to set up a plan with the homeowner and know the correct time and day to go to the homes of their clients to help them to clean and also repair their swimming pool using the needed equipment they have.

In 3, 2, 1 … Christian preacher blames Hurricane Sandy on the gays
But preacher John McTernan is only angry about the potential danger he finds himself in by living directly in the expected path of Hurricane Sandy and so he's playing the fun and common blame game.
From his blog:
The East was not affected by the drought, but now the most powerful hurricane on record is heading directly towards Philadelphia and New York City. It could do catastrophic damage to the entire Northeast!
If you add the area of the drought and now the hurricane together, it would be about 80 percent of the country! As I said, the Holy God of Israel is systematically destroying America right before our eyes.
Just last August, Hurricane Isaac hit New Orleans seven years later, on the exact day of Hurricane Katrina. Both hit during the week of the homosexual event called Southern Decadence in New Orleans!
Hurricane Sandy is hitting 21 years to the day of the Perfect Storm of October 20, 1991. I write about this in my book as America Has Done to Israel. This was the day that President George Bush Sr. initiated the Madrid Peace Process to divide the land of Israel, including Jerusalem. America has been under God's judgment since this event. Both of these hurricanes were cause by freakish weather patterns that came together to create
Twenty-one years breaks down to 7 x 3, which is a significant number with God. Three is perfection as the Godhead is three in one while seven is perfection.
It appears that God gave America 21 years to repent of interfering with His prophetic plan for Israel; however, it has gotten worse under all the presidents and especially Obama. Obama is 100 percent behind the Muslim Brotherhood which has vowed to destroy Israel and take Jerusalem.
Both candidates are pro-homosexual and are behind the homosexual agenda. America is under political judgment and the church does not know it!
McTernan promises a prayer on his blog talk radio show but adds, "The storm is projected to come right over my house, so it might curtail the prayer meeting if the power is knocked out."
Of course, McTernan also points out the gay-friendly policies of President Obama and even goes to far as to accuse GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney of being "pro-homosexual" which, of course, is adding to God's wrath and a major reason behind the storm.
This kind of rhetoric comes up it seems like with every natural disaster. I don't suppose adultery, greed, lying, murder — or any of the seven deadly sins written about in the Bible this preacher so literally believes in — have anything to do with bad weather.
Maybe he should ask himself why the storm is expected to cross directly over his home.

Compañeras and compañeros of the presidency and invited guests;
Delegates to this important work meeting:
More than three decades ago, on December 27, 1987, during a visit to an experience of growing vegetables in quarries enriched with organic matter in Hortifar, an entity belonging to the Military Agricultural Union, the Army General [Raul Castro] indicated to analyze and develop this method of cultivation. This is how the Urban Agriculture Program was born.
Years later, this type of quarry became part of the environment in every corner of Cuba, from the big cities to the small towns.
Then the idea emerged, also from the Army General, to increase the scale of those crops to the lands around the cities, which in their great majority remained unproductive.
As you will remember, this came to be on April 8, 2009, first in Camagüey, within a radius of ten kilometers from the center of the provincial capital. It was called suburban agriculture, and wisely integrated into the by-then already consolidated urban and family agriculture. It was under the direction of comrade Adolfo Rodríguez, known affectionately by all of us as Adolfito. With such passion, responsibility and efficiency he took on the task, practically until the last moment of his life, and to whose commitment we owe a great deal of what was achieved. May this event serve to honor his memory.
The concept has remained unchanged: to generalize a system of food production based on local potential, that is, creating there their own technologies and productive inputs by using the potential available in the territory.
Undoubtedly, since then, progress has been significant. The program has been consolidated as a popular movement of a productive extensionist nature and under agro-ecological principles. This is done with the use of sustainable production technologies, the use of local resources, and the combination of experience and traditions with science and technology.
It is a dynamic, deep, vertical, coordinated and directed work system through the National Group. This has allowed us to achieve positive results and with it, important savings to the country's economy, contributing to the decrease of input imports.
At a time when the U.S. government has tightened the blockade and everything indicates that it will continue to do so, this project aimed at producing food for the people. It's something that is not simply another priority, takes on much more importance. It is a vital issue for national security, I repeat, something that is not simply another priority; it is a vital issue for national security, which is equal to preserving our independence and sovereignty.
Today, our country imports $1.65 billion in food for the people, so replacing those imports is strategic. We must commit ourselves to the development of this program and extend its various productive structures to our cities, up to 10 square meters per inhabitant by next year. To take advantage of all available spaces in the cities or towns.
There are plenty of reasons to defend this strategy. In the first place, it is the most economical way of producing food. It can work with a minimum of motor transport and fuel – even without any if necessary – as people can buy them where they are grown, or the transport is a short distance and allows the use of alternative means.
Another very important point: it does not require imports of pesticides or fertilizers. Each hectare of quarry committed must be supported by the amount of fertilizer and other organic inputs needed.
In addition, it guarantees employment for thousands of workers, including women and young people. It is an elementary tool for achieving food security. It contributes to improving water management and nutrient recycling. It allows the use of unproductive, idle or underutilized spaces and is capable of producing the seeds it demands, among other advantages.
All this makes it a realistic and sustainable alternative, a reference for what we have to do to achieve food and nutritional sovereignty for our population.
It is fair and necessary to recognize what has been achieved, but you know, and you analyzed it during the event, that even greater results can be achieved with the resources available today, if we use them with the maximum of rationality and intelligence.
No one can feel satisfied until the last disused quarry and organoponico is recovered. The goal is to repair them all and put them into use during the current year. Likewise, to complete the reconstruction of the protected and semi-protected cultivation areas affected by meteorological phenomena or by the logical deterioration of the years of exploitation.
The yield per square meter must be increased. There are plenty of examples of what is possible when quality seeds are used and with a constant application of organic substrates and fertilizers, as well as the appropriate use of bio-products and agro-technology.
The use of animal traction in cultivation work around towns and villages should be a constant, whether or not fuel is available. In addition to the efficient use of water and renewable energy sources, such as biogas, windmills, solar panels, biomass and other alternatives, depending on the possibilities in each location.
We cannot stop at the incorporation of idle areas, covered with marabou and other weeds, in the surroundings of population settlements and communities.
It is also important to guarantee production throughout the year; not to neglect the summer under the excuse of unfavorable weather. In those months we have to promote products that are more resistant to heat, such as cucumbers, eggplants, beans, and okra, among others.
We must perfect the marketing of fresh vegetables and fruit, with emphasis on the population, but without forgetting tourism, social consumption, defense, and the internal order, and we must even get to export some products.
Closely linked to these purposes is the objective of continuing to adjust the organizational system of Urban Agriculture. It is necessary to analyze its financial structure and measure its impact, to ensure adequate profitability and stability in the results.
The Municipal Urban Farm and its representatives of the people's councils must exercise a broad power of convocation among local producers. In turn, they must play the productive, political and social role for which they were created. It is necessary to work hard to re-establish the marketing network that will simplify and facilitate the acquisition of agro-products directly for the local population.
The success of this great effort has a decisive key: the women and men who make the land produce. It is essential to continue to increase the incorporation of the labor force into this activity, especially young people, and to perfect the systems of payment by results.
Also from Urban Agriculture, the fruit tree program was born, which was incorporated into the local supply in all the perimeter of our localities.
Regarding this program, Army General Raul Castro Ruz suggested to create a fruit tree cooperative in each municipality and today we can report with satisfaction that we have 353 cooperatives throughout the country, dedicated to the production of fruit for the people.
With regard to food production in general, today more than ever we have to promote polyculture.: It is not the same to invest in fuel, fertilizers and other resources to prepare the land and sow a single crop than to take advantage of the same for two and three more.
Compañeras and compañeros:
We had proposed to guarantee 30 pounds per month of food and vegetables to each fellow citizen,. Of those, we reached 20 in 2019. We will reach that goal in less time if we continue to increase the productive areas, from the backyards, the orchard, the giant organoponicos and suburban agriculture, to the large productive poles.
To do this, we must continue to produce high-quality seeds. Research centers already show positive results with seeds that are better adapted to our climate, increase yields and even reduce production cycles.
Another objective is to guarantee each Cuban five kilograms of animal protein per month, and last year we only reached 200 grams. It is unsustainable to try to increase the production of animal protein-based on imported feed and raw materials, in which we are investing 450 million dollars today. It is as much of a priority to produce animal feed as we consume directly as people.
We Cubans have inherited as a food tradition a diet made up of four basic products: rice, beans, food and protein, to which we should add vegetables or salads. Of these, we now have total sovereignty over only one: food. We import an important part of rice, and to a lesser extent, beans and meat, but also in considerable volume, and even a level of vegetables.
Our future has to be directed towards achieving food sovereignty. We have to aim for this in stages, the shorter the better, planned and well-coordinated in a comprehensive way through realistic plans. It is precisely vegetables and beans that we can stop importing in the short term.
We are convinced that this program will continue to grow and will play an important and irreplaceable role in achieving these strategic objectives.
We congratulate you on the results achieved in 2019 and we urge you to continue to move forward as a national reference in the production of food for the people and thereby demonstrate that Yes we could, Yes we can and Always we will.

Pigeons have a bad reputation — they congregate on rooftops and defecate on cars and other structures. Pigeons are dependent on human activity in order to thrive, so they are often found in human-oriented areas. Call us or visit our handy online form here.
Pigeons go way back in history; Charles Darwin even used pigeons to formulate parts of his Theory of Evolution, and modern-day people raise them for food, to race, and for the delivery of messages. Despite all the ways pigeons can be utilized for human needs, the birds are considered the most common bird pest.
Since they are drawn to nesting sites where food is abundant, pigeon control must center on the elimination of food sources.
To keep pigeons out of parks, feeding should be strictly regulated. To keep the pests out of residential yards, property owners should seal trash bins, remove collections of debris, and trim trees and shrubs.
Additionally, a number of products exist to keep pigeons from nesting on structures. Mesh netting and bird spikes, for example, can both be utilized successfully to stop the birds from nesting on roofs, in barns, steeples, and on building ledges.
Pigeons commonly nest in ornamental lawn trees, barns, attics, and on roofs of residential homes.
Since their preferred food sources include grains and seeds, garbage, the manure of livestock, insects, and nearly anything people will feed them, pigeons are also commonly found on farms, in places of business, and storage facilities like feed mills and grain elevators.
Pigeons are actually quite unhygienic animals. Their droppings are abundant wherever infestations are present and stain building facades, park benches, statues, and cars. In addition to being aesthetically displeasing, pigeon droppings accelerate deterioration of building materials and are malodourous. Furthermore, their excrement contains pathogens of numerous diseases, including ornithosis, encephalitis, toxoplasmosis, and food poisoning. The birds can also harbor fleas, lice, mites, and ticks in their feathers and consume and contaminate stores of food meant for human and livestock consumption.
We can help you get rid of pigeon problems. Call our office today!

Insomnia (Warner Bros.). Great reviews for the latest from Memento director Christopher Nolan, a remake of the 1997 Norwegian film of the same name. This version stars Al Pacino as a cop with the titular sleeping problem and Robin Williams as the bad guy. Critics love Nolan's "sharp-witted" (Elvis Mitchell, the New York Times) and "intelligent" (Kenneth Turan, the Los Angeles Times) direction, which gives extra dimensions to the somewhat standard plot. "A director this thoughtful doing genre material results in considerably more texture than usual," says Turan. Also earning effusive praise are the performances from stars Pacino (who gives "a more powerful, nuanced performance than he has in years," says Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaum) and Williams ("a triumph of against-type casting," says USA Today's Mike Clark). (Click here to read about the original Insomnia.)— B.M.L.
Enough(Columbia). "Everyone has a limit" is this movie's slogan and reviewers agree. "A jarring thriller packed to the gills with cheap shocks," it "suggests the emergence of a new Hollywood subgenre: the male yuppie horror film" (Stephen Holden, the New York Times). A working-class waitress called Slim (Jennifer Lopez) marries a rich power-monger and eventually beats him (literally!) after being cheated on and physically abused. Critics' conclusion? "It's really a bogeyman horror film in sociological drag—'I Know You Married an Abusive Creep Last Summer' " (Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly)—and "the climax is a cheat and a bloody cliché" (Michael Wilmington, the Chicago Tribune). (Click here for J.Lo's Web site, where you can view the trailer.)—A.B.
CQ (United Artists). Dim notices dominate this brassy homage (by Roman Coppola, Francis' son) to '60s films. "Set in the Paris of 1969, CQ is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Dragonfly, a femme-fatale spy movie that's a gravity-free confection similar to Barbarella and Modesty Blaise" (Elvis Mitchell, the New York Times). While Mitchell claims "[t]here's nothing like love to give a movie a B-12 shot, and CQ shimmers with it," others write that "[e]ndearing but pointless, at once cluttered and tinny, this film-dork fantasia suggests a shopping spree at a high-end vintage emporium underwritten by Daddy's blank check" (Dennis Lim, the Village Voice). (Click here for the Web site.)—A.B.
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (DreamWorks). A mottled herd of reviews for this animated flick about a silent horse. Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman calls it "[a] solemn neo-Bambi that dares to enchant kids without comic relief" that's made with "simple, elegant conviction." But the New York Times' Dave Kehr takes issue with its "transitional" technique of "dropping two-dimensional figures down in an expansive, three-dimensional landscape, where they look wispy, slight and out of place." And the Los Angeles Times' Kenneth Turan, a critic who actually likes the visuals, thinks it "hedges its bets by giving the animal voice-over narration (read by Matt Damon) that sounds like this is one horse who found time to take creative writing courses." (Click here for the Web site.)—A.B.
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (Fox). Later reviews are more kind to Lucas' latest than the early ones. Slate's David Edelstein writes that "[w]ith all the screaming Lucasoids on one side and all the hand-wringing critics on the other, it might be hard to remember that Attack of the Clones is more or less OK."The New Yorker's David Denby agrees: "The plot is incomprehensible to anyone over fourteen, and the actors intone their starched-collar lines as if they were attending a convention of rural vicars. But, allowing for some dull moments, George Lucas' latest movie has considerable style. Digital invention is becoming grander, wilder, more free-spirited: the multi-leveled cities of the future overflow with life." And "[i]t would be nice to think that Lucas' visual imagination is just now taking off." (Click here for Slate's first Summary Judgment of the film's early, bad reviews and here for a piece on the big business of Star Wars queues.)— A.B.
Music 18, by Moby (V2). Critics praise Moby's follow-up to his jillion-selling 1999 album Play. "Savvy enough not to fix something that isn't even remotely broken" (David Browne, Entertainment Weekly), he retains his trademark eclecticism as "bluesy electro numbers follow new-wave tunes that float around orchestral interludes and gospel-sampled pop" (Solvej Schou, CMJ). "If you have a mood or desire, 18 has a song to match," says Time's Josh Tyrangiel. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield writes approvingly that the erstwhile underground DJ's "impolitic insistence on stroking his pop-star ambitions" has forced him to "master the pop virtues of melody, variety and rhythmic drive." The consensus: if you liked Play, you'll like 18. "It" a formula, but damn if it isn't still effective," says Browne. (Click here to read Moby's extensive tour diary. Buy.)— B.M.L.
Mended, by Marc Anthony (Columbia). Critics say the new album from Latin explosion veteran Anthony is mediocre. Several praise his voice—" I could listen to this guy sing the phone book," says Elysa Gardner of USA Today—but criticize his "spice-meets-schmaltz" material (Nina Malkin, Entertainment Weekly), which could "sap the most prodigious talent of its distinction" (Gardner). The music is "slickly produced filler" (Gardner) with "forgettable" melodies (Barry Walters, Rolling Stone) and "inane," "tepid," and "predictable" lyrics, including a song that rhymes "loneliness" with "onlyness." "It's a shame when expressive singers waste surreal amounts of emotion on songs so lacking in substance," complains Walters. (Click here for online salsa dancing lessons. Buy.)— B.M.L.
Down the Road, by Van Morrison (Universal). Most critics like this new album from the middle-aged Irish folkster. "Neither slickly modern nor resolutely old-fashioned, the music has a good-natured feel, blending New Orleans R&B-bluesy ramble, traditional and pop jazz, and a dash of country, with Morrison playing much acoustic guitar and a little alto sax" (Natalie Nichols, the Los Angeles Times). Plus, the album "is cut from the same scar tissue and country-funk backbone as Bob Dylan's Love and Theft" (David Fricke, Rolling Stone). Just one problem: "It isn't so much that there's something horribly wrong with the record just that there isn't anything terribly right with it" (Jim Farber, the New York Daily News). (Click here to listen to the songs. Buy.)— A.B. Maladroit, by Weezer (Geffen). Reviews for this fourth full-length release from the best-known purveyors of "emo" pop run the gamut. Critics say they rock out harder than before—"[t]he songs are built on loud, wrecking-ball riffs that snarl and flail" (David Browne, Entertainment Weekly)—and that "this ability to channel conflict into compelling music is what catapults Weezer from the arena of merely good bands into the realm of potential greatness" (Neva Chonin, the San Francisco Chronicle). But others give negative critiques, saying "Maladroit is dominated by songs that are heavy, man but feel slight or unfinished" (Browne). (Click here for the band's Web site. Buy.)— A.B.
Books Female Trouble, by Antonya Nelson (Scribner). Warm notices for this story collection about "women in the act of returning, often to a childhood home somewhere west of Chicago and hoping for a second chance, a way to pursue what each sees as her true story" (Frederick Busch, the New York Times). Critics agree "Nelson's prose is beautiful without being afraid to be coarse, and her strong, confused, wild and funny women are unforgettable and, while troubled, ready for anything" (the San Francisco Chronicle). "These stories are the work of a strong writer who sees both panoramically and with a powerfully close focus. She celebrates the American landscape and the needy, damaged searchers who cross it" (Busch). (Click here for a Nelson interview.)— A.B.
The Reckoning: Iraq and the Legacy of Saddam Hussein, by Sandra Mackey (W.W. Norton). Mixed reviews for this Iraqi history by a veteran Middle East journalist. Spotlighted as an editor's pick by the Foreign Policy Association, the book garners praise from the Economist for arguing that after a U.S. affront, Iraq's "collapse into vengeful anarchy would be catastrophic" because Hussein is "above all a tribal leader, his power based on a complex network of kinship." Yet regardless, says Fouad Ajami in the New York Times, the book is both "derivative" as well as flawed for positing that Iraq's "radicalism and anti-Americanism arise from our ties to Israel, when they spring from countless other sources." (Click here to read a Slate review of Ajami's last book.)— A.B.


Harlow Wildlife Projects is an independent voluntary group formed to develop wildlife conservation projects and projects which improve access to nature in Harlow and immediately surrounding areas, and to seek the funds to carry them out. The aim is to carry out larger and more complete projects than can be achieved by volunteers alone, by obtaining primarily grant funding and engaging contractors to carry out much of the work, particularly those tasks beyond the scope of volunteers, while also involving volunteers in some project elements where practical.
Projects can vary in size, the largest individual project to date being £50k in cash terms. They can range from specific improvements for a single species, and small habitat creation projects, through to larger projects aimed at conserving the full spectrum of biodiversity found in woodlands, meadows, and wetlands. The group does not currently have any land of its own; projects are carried out on publicly owned land or that owned by charities or similar and that is accessible to the general public. Projects are about achieving particular improvements within a certain timeframe. Ongoing conservation management and maintenance of sites are the responsibility of the landowner.
In addition to physical access improvements, projects can include providing information to the public, e.g. by way of site interpretation boards, and facilities for observing and studying wildlife, such as hides and viewing platforms.
The group was formed in 2007 by members of Harlow Conservation Volunteers in response to a request from officers of Harlow Council who were hoping to tap into a range of grant funding open to community groups, but from which the Council as a statutory authority was excluded.
We are currently quite a small group of individuals, giving of their time on a purely voluntary basis. There are no paid employees. Group members have a wide range of experience of voluntary conservation work and of managing small projects, knowledge of natural history, and now have some experience of successfully applying for funds, including from the National Lottery.
For the annual accounts see the Finance page.
Legally HWP is an unincorporated association (club/society) governed by the group's constitution: this is based on a Charity Commission model constitution; however, HWP has not yet sought registration as a charity.
HWP takes part in the Harlow Biodiversity partnership, which is intended to be a partnership between Harlow District Council and local conservation organizations and volunteers.
HCV is an associate member of Harlow Voluntary Sector Forum organised by Voluntary Action Epping Forest in association with Rainbow Services.
HWP does not organise volunteers directly to carry out practical work on projects. The volunteer element of projects is delivered by local conservation volunteer groups, including Harlow Conservation Volunteers and Harlow GreenTeam Volunteers with whom it has close working relationships.
HWP does not intend to engage in political campaining, say against a development on green-field land. The group would only be involved in such activity to the extent that was compatible with charitable status.
We are not a position to provide advice on wildlife conservation except as part of a project we are involved with.

Ohio governor Kasich reverses & adds trans people back into nondiscrimination policy
It looks like someone is about to run for President as a moderate.
By Gwendolyn Smith Thursday, December 20, 2018

Ohio's Republican Governor, John Kasich, has taken the unexpected step of issuing a new nondiscrimination order for state government employees as one of his last acts in office. In the new version, gender identity is a protected class.
This is a dramatically different position than the one Kasich took when he began in 2011. It was not long after he got into the Governor's chair that he removed gender identity from the state's nondiscrimination protections. Those protections were enabled by his predecessor, Democrat Ted Strickland, in 2009.
While running for the governorship, Kasich had specifically promised to include gender identity protections, but stepped back once he took office. Kasich's 2011 executive order banned discrimination based on sexual orientation as well as race, age, gender, ancestry, military status, disability or genetic information.
"All persons employed by the state of Ohio should be treated with the utmost respect and civility by their fellow state employees and are entitled to enjoy a workplace free of discrimination," his new executive order reads.

In making this move, the change helps paint Kasich as a moderate, giving way to speculation that Kasich intends to challenge Donald Trump for the presidency in 2020. He was the last major challenger to drop out versus Donald Trump in the 2016 midterms, but was only was able to pick up his home state of Ohio during the run.
Kasich also made a bid for the presidency in 1999, but dropped out before primary season.
The new nondiscrimination ordinance may, of course, be changed by the incoming governor, Republican Mike DeWine, after he is sworn in on the 14th of January. DeWine had claimed that he would, "continue current state policy against discrimination for state employees" during the election, but before this change to the policy.
Many in the LGBTQ community are applauding the move, even though the future of the policy is unclear.
"Today's Executive Order builds on a previous order issued by Governor Kasich, which had only protected lesbian, gay, and bisexual state employees," said Equality Ohio in a press release.
"By adding gender identity and expression in his latest Executive Order today, Governor Kasich showed leadership in ensuring that transgender and genderqueer Ohioans have the employment protections they deserve."
"This is truly an important and historic day — not just for the transgender community — but for the entire state," said James Knapp, the executive director of TransOhio.
"Today, our Governor stood up and said that workplace discrimination will not be tolerated in Ohio. We are proud to have been a part of this work, and we're thrilled that state employees will be able to enter 2019 as their authentic selves without fear of unlawful termination."
The new order only covers people who currently work for or are seeking to work for the state, and will not protect any privately-held job nor even businesses that contract with the state.

In July of 2011, I had to opportunity, to explore one of the most beautiful locations in the World with a small . Mount San-tsing shan National Park, a 22,950 ha property located in the west of the Huyaiyu mountain range in the northeast of Jiangxi Province (in the east of central China).
Huang Shan, China Area Map
San-tsing Shan National Park has been inscribed for its exceptional scenic quality, marked by the concentration of fantastically shaped pillars and peaks: 48 granite peaks and 89 granite pillars, many of which resemble human or animal silhouettes.
Early morning fog on the trail of San-tsing Shan, China.
A sea of clouds is one of those natural highlights at the Park. Since most of the scenic spots are located 1,600 m above sea level, the deep gorges, together with the luxuriant forests, shorten the length of time for sunlight to penetrate down to the ground. This makes it hard for water to evaporate and creates high humidity levels and moisture in the air. This leads to the park being covered with mist and clouds almost 250 days of the year.
A pillar in the fog, found at the San-tsuing Shan National Park, China
Pictured above and below, the natural beauty of Mount San-shing Shan also derives from the juxtaposition of its granite features with the mountain's vegetation enhanced by meteorological conditions which create an ever-changing and arresting landscape.
Additional pillars found on the Sanqing Shan Trail, China
The mountain's meteorological effects are notable: light refraction can produce bright halos on clouds and white rainbows in foggy air. Seen from above, the cloud seas and falls over ridge crests are striking. Mists are common and the strange shapes of the towering fingers of rock when wreathed in mist make this an unusually fantastic landscape. It gives you a mystical feeling of walking in heaven.
A view point from the trail of San-tsing Shan National Park
The access afforded by suspended walking trails in the park permited my trekking buddies and myself to appreciate the park's stunning scenery and enjoy its serene atmosphere, (pictured below).
Part of the walking trail in San-sting Shan National Park 2011
Mount San-tsing Shan is at the western end of the Huaiyu Range. It is a massive uplifted pluton of deeply faulted and dissected granite, which forms an island of temperate forest above the subtropical countryside.
The central massif of Yujing (1817m), doubly uplifted in the late Cenozoic within a bordering triangle of faults, dominates a fragmented network of joints in the batholith resulting from past expansion of the crust.
An Ostrich-looking rock found along the trail at the San-tsing Shan National Park.
The eroded blocks were further split horizontally into cliffs and clusters of sharp-edged, rounded and sculpted pillars which were never later glaciated, resulting in a forest of pinnacles, (pictured below).
Stages in the evolution of the granite landforms of San-tsing Shan (Yin Guosheng, 2006) Image taken from: http://www.globalgeopark.org/Articles/6335.htm
Pictured below, the "Oriental Goddess" Peak is dignified, graceful and remarkably life like, it is unsurpassed in presenting the romantic charm of an oriental woman. The full height of the goddess is 86 m, 1300 m above sea level. In the past hundreds of millions of years, she has been seated dignifiedly on the top of the mountain, looking kindly at all the mortal beings in silence. The story goes that her name is Yao Ji, the 23rd daughter of the Heaven Empress. Yao Ji is in charge of the vitality of everything on earth and also the beauty of spring in the world.
The Oriental Goddess in the fog on the San-tsing Shan trail.
As the day got warmer, the fog started to slowly dissipate. Pictured below, the "Gigantic Boa" is a slender pillar rising up from the peak forest by as high as 128m, like a "boa" holding its head up against sky, full of life tension and noble spirit, and they are deemed to be superlative scenes under heaven. This symbolic picturesque peak, 1200 m above sea level, is a huge granite stone column cause by the combination force of weathering and gravity. The top of it is flat, the neck is a bit thin and the thinnest part is only 7 m in diameter. The towering crag looks rather perilous.
The Boa Pillar in the San-tsing Shan National Park. Notice the trail at the foot of Boa Rock.
Mount San-tsing Shan is a masterpiece created by the nature, and a product resulting from the endogenous and exdogenous processes of the Earth. The Mount San-tsing, noted for the loft peaks and natural landscape, are the product of the combination of geological evolution and erosion by wind and rain for as long as 14 hundred million years. The granite landforms with forest-like mountain peaks are un-comparable in the world. In the scenery area, all the mountains are not only compact but precipitous; and their motley surfaces seem to have witnessed the great changes in the long term of history. The scenery area is rich in water resource. The beautiful souring waterfalls are in harmony with the magnificent mountains, marked with old trees, exotic flowers and primeval forests of large areas. All these spread out into a mountains-and-waters painting with unique Chinese flavor.
I'm standing on a amazing cliff hanging trail at the San-tsing Shan NP 2011
The occurrence of the marvelous micro-landforms of Mt San-tsing Shan is due to a multipicity of factors. These include the existence of ultra-acidic, high silicic, high potassium and low calcium granites as a material basis.
Joint fracturing found in the granite rock.
The crustal extension that produced deep vertical joints lying on a fan-shaped fracture pattern of the mountain which cuts the granite into blocks, thick plates and prisms.
Walking along the San-tsing Shan Trail. Notice pine tree growing horizontally from the side of the cliff.
In addition, the area receives substantial precipitation causing leaching and scouring of the mountainside to create an outstanding and unusual sculptural landscape. Further development of the landscape is attributable gravity collapse and biological activity.
Picture of the many pine trees found with San-tsing Shan National Park
Pine trees found in the San-tsing Shan National Park are mostly covered with an umbrella-like top. Their bizarre and diversified shapes perfectly match the park's unique stones.
There is nothing like feeling the spray from the rain drizzle and cool breeze on a hot summer day while hearing the swaying of pine trees blowing gently in the breeze, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Note the trail across the ridge on the right, within the San-tsing Shan
The mountain's name, Mount (Shan) San-tsing is associated with Taoist belief. Since the three main peaks in the park, Yujing, Yuxu, and Yuhua look like the highest spirits honored in Taoism (Yuqing, Shan-tsing, and Taiqing) all sitting in a row, the mountain range was called "The Three Puity Mountain" or Mount San-tsing. Shan means mount in China.
I'm posing with my traveling buddy and interpreter, Cui Lee, on a glass platform at the crest of the San-tsing Shan National Park.
The wonderland described in the Taoist theory are jewelled palaces. All the celestial beings worshiped by Taoism believers are those who can mount the clouds and tide the mist, float between earth and heaven without any difficulty. So the mountains in the floating clouds are naturally considered as the wonderland in the world. The Mount San-tsing is just such a wonderland. The peaks appear distinctly in the cloud and mist.
A look at the glass platform that Lee and I stood on.
San-tsing Shan has been a Taoist shrine since a priest, Ge Hong, came to the mountain 400 years ago. At 1,530m high in the heart of the mountain stands the large San-tsing Shan temple, the Dragon and Tiger temple, named for its carvings and the Ming period Wind and Storm pagoda.
A Public Map for the San-tsing Shan temples and trails.
The looming, intricate rock formations intermixed with delicate forest cover and combined with ever-shifting weather patterns create a landscape of arresting beauty.
A strange formation near the trail.
All this together, is why I would classify this location as one of the most beautiful places on earth. I personally, classify it as the "Kubla Kahn's" Xanadu. It is like Heaven-on-earth. Literally walking in the clouds.
A good look at the cliff-hanging trail. An amazing engineering design.
Pictured above, I was heading back of the mountain. The cliff-walkways were amazing engineering accomplishments. A plank road is one built along the face of a cliff. The plank road here is in the in the west of the scenic spot. The total length is 3600 m. It is built on the cliff high up in the sky. When walking along it, one feels as if he/she were strolling on the top of the cloud. Along it, one can see the running cloud sea, colorful sunset glow, continual mountains and deep valleys.
Some fun with resonance on a rope bridge, within the San-tsing Shan National Park 2011, (notice how nobody wants to walk with me on a rope bridge).
The true character of Taoism is to be detached from the worldly common practice and to seek after longevity. The Mount San-tsing is also permeated with a kind of character–to be free from the world. Here, one can see the vestiges of the great changes of the world in the past 14 hundred million years; Here one also can see how the Chinese people have pursed a wonderland beyond the worldliness in the past 1,600 years.


Born in Somerset County, Pennsylvania on May 30, 1800, Jacob moved to Licking County, Ohio when he was 17. There he married and began his life as a stockman raising cattle and horses.
He came to Illinois in 1828 to buy horses. Impressed by the quality of the land he instead bought property near Jacksonville in Morgan County. Returning to Ohio he continued his business there and did not re-locate to Illinois until 1831. His wife died at the end of that year and Jacob re-married in July, 1832.
His cattle business flourished. Initially he shipped his cattle to St. Louis and for a time controlled that market. Eventually he sent cattle to New Orleans and to the major eastern cities. To meet his needs he bought cattle throughout Illinois and was among the men who got stock from Iowa, Missouri and Texas. He was one of the largest cattle dealers in the country.
Jacob is credited with being the first to feed steers in Morgan County. He also was the first in Illinois to stall feed cattle with corn.
Besides his stock raising business he also had a butchering plant and a flour mill. With them he supplied Jacksonville with both beef and flour. In 1841, he was one of 39 founders of the Illinois Agricultural and Stock Association, a group designed to encourage and promote agriculture in the state.
Jacob's career was very successful. At the time of his death on August 23, 1865 he owned around 20,000 acres of land and had an estate estimated at $1,000,000.

Q: Using /lib/ Subdirectories in Rails - for View Content This is an evolving issue related to a previous posting I made...
I am playing around some - to try to learn how the /lib/ directory in Rails works - and how to reference variables defined in the /lib/ directory for use in a view.
I have a file called helloworld.rb and it's saved in a /lib/hellotest/ directory in Rails.
The helloworld.rb file has the following code:
module HelloWorld
  def hello
    @howdy = "Hello World!"
  end
end

I want to be able to display the results of this method on a view called index.html.erb, so I include the following code in the index_helper.erb file:
module IndexHelper
  require 'helloworld'
end

I have learned that I need to include the following line of code in the /config/application.rb file:
config.autoload_paths += %W(#{Rails.root}/lib/hellotest/)

Also, I include the following code on the view index.html.erb:
<%= @howdy %>

I think I may have found something that is causing problems. I didn't want to load the entire /lib/ directory at startup so I put the file in a subdirectory called /lib/hellotest/. I've read there are some issues with how Rails interprets module/class naming conventions in the lib folder, but I can't quite figure it out. I see a good resource regarding this possible solution to my problem on William B Harding's Blog, on point 2 - but I can't quite get my arms around this solution as it pertains to my problem.
Any advice please?
What am I missing?

A: I'd suggest that unless you have a good reason to do otherwise, follow the conventional naming for modules and classes (as described in the link you provided). Rename helloworld.rb to hello_world.rb, move it into lib, and change your autoload_paths to:
 config.autoload_paths += %W(#{Rails.root}/lib/)

Finally, change require 'hello_world' to require 'hello_world' in your IndexHelper module. It should then load normally.
