St. Thomas Anglican Church is an historic Gothic Revival style Anglican church building located at 28 Church Street, in Shanty Bay in the township of Oro-Medonte in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada.

History

It was built of rammed earth or pisé de terre or simply pisé between 1838 and 1841 by local craftsmen. The axe marks on the hand hewn wooden forms used for the rammed earth are still visible. Its steep pitched roof, lancet windows and entrance tower are typical of Gothic Revival churches. It was consecrated on February 27, 1842, and is still an active Anglican church.

The church construction was begun by Lieutenant-Colonel W.E. O'Brien, who also was the progenitor of Shanty Bay, the village the church is in.  Lieutenant-Colonel O'Brien raised the 35'th Simcoe Foresters, who will later become the Grey and Simcoe Foresters. their guidon is displayed to the left of the main door, in the main area of the church.

Current

The Rev. Sandor Borbely is the current rector. The church's burying ground is located on its right side.

Notable Rectors
The Rev. Canon Stephen Peake was rector of St. Thomas from 1998–2005.  Peake recently placed 3rd in the Anglican Bishop Election by the diocese of Toronto.

Status as a heritage site

The church is a provincial heritage site. To the left front of the church building there is a plaque erected by the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of the Department of Public Records and Archives of Ontario. The plaque reads: "This church is one of the few surviving structures in Ontario built of "rammed earth". This method of construction utilized wet clay mixed with chopped straw, compacted into forms and covered, when dry, with plaster or siding for protection against weather.
Built in a plain, somewhat Romanesque style, the church was begun in 1838 and largely completed by 1841, although not officially opened until February 27, 1842. Lt.-Colonel Edward O'Brien, leading member of the Shanty Bay settlement, donated the church site and clergyman's residence, and directed the construction of the church. He and his wife, Mary Sophia, are buried in the adjacent cemetery. The Rev. S.B. Ardagh served as rector from 1842 to 1867."

Columbus Crew 3, Chivas USA 0 | MLS Match Recap
September 7, 20145:00PM EDT
Andrew KingMLSsoccer.com
Follow@ AndrewKingCbus
COLUMBUS, Ohio - It was the Justin Meram show in Columbus once again Sunday afternoon, as the winger scored a second half brace to help the Columbus Crew to a 3-0 win over visiting Chivas USA.
Meram's pair of perfectly placed shots came largely from his own creation, giving the Crew the spark they badly needed in what had been a sloppy, disjointed affair. Bernardo Anor returned from injury and added a late headed goal to ice the victory.
The three points were vital for the Crew, taking them above the "red line" in the tight playoff race in the Eastern Conference. They are now in 5th place, tied on points with the Philadelphia Union and New England Revolution.
COMPLETE BOXSCORE AND STATS
Meanwhile, Chivas USA, who were without leading goalscorer Erick Torres (international duty), sunk further into the cellar in the Western Conference as their winless streak extended to nine matches, including eight losses.
Columbus were without their usual midfield duo of Tony Tchani and Wil Trapp who were both suspended for yellow card accumulation. They were replaced in the center of the pitch by Kevan George and Daniel Paladini, and in the first half, the pair struggled to put their stamp on the midfield.
As many clubs have done to the possession-oriented Crew, Chivas bunkered in and forced Columbus to attempt to attack, resulting in 40 minutes of largely toothless play to begin the game.
The only real action of the first half came when Crew forward Aaron Schoenfeld was tripped up by Eriq Zavaleta in the box in the 45th minute on a Columbus corner kick. Referee Geoff Gamble gave a penalty to Chivas players' dismay, handing the Crew a chance to go into halftime with the lead.
But the usually sure-footed Federico Higuain slammed his shot into the bar for his third penalty miss of the season in what seemed like a costly missed opportunity for the Crew.
Just seven minutes into the second half, Meram made the Columbus crowd forget about that miss. The winger collected the ball on the left side, just outside the box, cut inside onto his favored right foot and curled a feathery shot around a defender and past Chivas USA keeper Dan Kennedy.
Less than ten minutes later, Meram put the match away with another blast into the corner. He scooped up a loose ball in the middle of the field to go one-on-one with Kennedy and left no doubt, cooly slotting a right-footed shot into the corner of Kennedy's goal.
Meram now has seven goals on the season, second most on the Crew.
Anor, making his first appearance since July, added an insurance goal in the 80th minute, when fellow sub Hector Jimenez found the Venezuelan with a perfectly placed cross that Anor headed home.

Rank Player What We Saw
1 Justin Meram (CLB) He struggled in the first half, giving the ball away and killing attacks, but he made up for it with his 2nd-half double.
2 Dan Kennedy (CHV) If he hadn't made three Save of the Week-worthy stops, it would've been even uglier for the Goats.
3 Federico Higuain (CLB) Yes, he missed the penalty kick, but the Argentine was buzzing in the attack all day.

No player in MLB history has more RBIs out of the leadoff spot in a single season than Rockies center fielder Charlie Blackmon.
With a two-run homer off of Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu, Blackmon passed Darin Erstad for the most RBIs out of the leadoff spot in the history of the game with 101.
Erstad drove in 100 runs during the 2000 season while with the Angels.
The 31-year-old Blackmon has 37 home runs to go with his 101 RBIs this season.
Blackmon's home run gave the Rockies a 5-0 lead over the Dodgers. The Rockies' magic number entering the weekend was 2. With a win Friday and a Brewers loss Colorado would lock up the second wild-card spot in the National League. The Brewers held a 2-1 lead in St. Louis in the sixth inning while the Rockies had a 7-1 lead in the fourth inning against the Dodgers.

Include evidence or examples in your response.
Many people consider Australia to be the most culturally diverse nation in the world. As such it is critical that our security forces match that diversity in order to best serve the country.
A range of cultural backgrounds in a police service also encourages sharing of a wide range of experiences and thus broadening the perspectives of each police officer. As one of the primary roles of the police is to communicate with the community and keep the peace, a broad perspective is very important.
By officers working with other team members from other cultures, there is also a natural tendency for those officers to have a higher degree of genuine empathy for people of a different background to themselves. Again, this is key in successfully engaging different parts of the community.
Finally, a culturally diverse police service provides an excellent role model for other citizens to see people of different race, religion and heritage working closely together in close-knit teams.
I'm all for equal opportunity and I think it a very important topic in a nation as culturally diverse as Australia. However, sometimes I think that the benefits of cultural diversity in the workplace can be over-stated in determining just who fills that workplace.
Take the NSW Police for example. I see a great deal of cultural diversity in our police service but I sometimes wonder how an organisation like this balances the need for a diverse background with having the best police officers for the job.
My primary concern is that some police officers I've encountered seem to be so 'diverse' in their background that they sometimes appear to struggle to identify with my particular problem.
So I think that more important than having a diverse police service is the ability for the police officers to deal with a diverse range of cultures. So my view is that having a culturally diverse police service is far less important than the education and training of these police officers to interact efficiently with the community's cultural diversity.
Therefore it is not the diversity within the police service that really matters.


Karl takes a more in-depth look at some of the shots that he took throughout the course and how and why some of the shots work so well straight from Camera. In this final chapter Karl also explains some of the minimal adjustments that could be done in Lightroom to enhance the photos even more.
This has been the best course yet I would love to see a part 2 on this subject.
I'd love to see how you set up your camera for portraits on what focusing modes/ points you are using.
Hi Samuel, my camera is always in manual mode. For focusing in the Canon there are a number of focusing points to choose from so I compose my shot first to figure out where i'm placing my subject and then I will select the closest focusing point for that subject position and that really is all there is to it.
Thank you for the reply – In regards to focus would you always select the single centre focusing point and use this to focus on the models eyes then compose your shot and then take it.
I seem to have more trouble when I am further away from my subject for example a full body shot of a model using a 50mm standing next to a garage I am selecting the centre focusing point and focusing on the models head (I am to far away to see any real detail on the models eyes) however it seems to focus slightly out. could this be caused by shooting to wide open from to far away?
I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Hi Samuel, no I select the focus point that is closest to the models position, not the centre one. Sometimes focusing problems do occur though when shooting wide open aperture as if the model moves a little and you sway a little then just a couple of inches can be enough to throw it out. To check it's not your camera or lens then run some tests on a tripod with objects that don't move and select different focus points and check they are focusing where they should be. Some cameras have fine tune focus adjustments that you can re-calibrate the camera/lens if necessary.
This is brilliant infomation thank you very much!
Outstanding series. Its great to see your workflow and how you assess the shooting environment for making choices. Thats a huge step in being more successful. I am wondering if increased chromatic and spherical aberrations in lenses when shooting wide open is a consideration for you when choosing your aperture setting. High end lenses usually dont have as much of a degradation in image quality when wide open but I find it still does soften the image and lose some crisp details. This can be a positive effect if one likes a soft focus look as well but its a trade off. Thanks.
Hi Jason, my biggest worry shooting fully wide open on lenses like 1.2 or 1.4 is actually if the subject or I move 1cm after I focus and then fully press the shutter as they will become soft so it's actually depth of field issues are my biggest concern, however for the technical properties of lenses such as stigmatism and abberrations then I try to work with the best lenses possible.
I'm curious about your overall approach to steadiness of shot, whether outdoors or in the studio. It seems you could do any shooting freehand if you had to, without a tripod or monopod? I struggle with getting clear, clean shot handheld. Any advice?
Hi Steve, if you have enough light then the shutter speed will be sufficient to cutout most camera movement, A good rule of thumb is you need a shutter speed at least as fast as your focal length so for example on 100mm lens you would need at least 1/125th of sec, if you have a steady hand. The other part of the process is if you use flash with a very fast flash duration then the flash is doing the 'freezing' work for you. See this chapter to understand that part https://www.karltayloreducation.com/course_video_page/understanding-flash-duration/ although i'd recommend you'd watch all those as that one is number 4 of 15 on flash theory.
You said you hardly did any color corrections within Lightroom. So what picture profile did you have the camera set in for all these photos? Was it portrait mode, standard, neutral, etc? Or did you modify your own picture profile settings in camera?
Hi Paul, I always have it in 'Standard' on the Canon.
Great series and sum up. I too find a 50mm at 1.4 is a very narrow DOF and at first tries from a few feet, eye focus is sharp but the nose is really out of focus. It looks weird. Maybe that's why an 85mm gets you that little bit farther back from the subject and increases the DOF a few cms. Whereas an 135mm in small studio is useless other than head shots!
outstanding piece of teaching material.
Could you please comment on the cropping. Do you shoot wide and crop in post or compose the shot in camera and leave it as such.
Hi Carlos, if the shots are for me I crop in camera pretty much how I'd expect the shot to be. If it's for a client in the studio, especially on my product photography, then I shoot slightly looser to give them crop choices.
Hi Karl, thank you for your excellent video.
I edit more with capture one and photoshop, can I achieve similar similar edit with the software. I dont use light-room at all. Or probably if you can do editing video with capture one pro.
Hi Capture One has all the capabilities of LR if not more so I wouldn't worry about that. I'm not sure if does video though?

Agile wallabies are the most common wallabies in Australia's north. Males are considerably larger than females. The tails of both genders are long and flexible. They have relatively large ears, which are edged with black, and the tip of the tail is also black. Their backs are sandy brown while their underparts are whitish. Agile wallabies have a dark stripe between the ears, a pale cheek stripe on each side of the face and another pale streak across the thighs.

Photos with Agile Wallaby
Agile wallabies are found in northern Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Indonesian province of Papua. They range from northern Australia and down the eastern coast of Queensland. There are isolated populations in southeastern Queensland. Agile wallabies inhabit dry open woodland, heaths, dunes and grassland. They are often present in the vicinity of rivers and lakes.

Habits and Lifestyle
Agile wallabies are generally solitary animals, but they sometimes form into groups when feeding on open pastures. This behaviour may help with predator awareness. These wallabies are mainly noctural. They feed at night but may also forage by day, especially in the wet season. Agile wallabies sometimes dig holes in dry creeks and bilabongs (isolated ponds left behind after a river changes course) to search for water. This is thought to help them avoid being killed by the Saltwater crocodile that can be found beside rivers. The home range size of Agile wallabies varies with weather conditions. In the dry season their range grows larger.

Terrestrial, Jumping, Grazing, Altricial
Seasonal behavior
Agile wallabies are herbivores. During the wet season, they eat a variety of native grasses, shrubs and bushes, leaves, and fruits. During the dry season, these wallabies feed on moisture-rich roots, stems, and discard the leaves. They will also crush and eat the hard seeds and other seeds that have passed through the guts of fruit-eating birds.

Little information is known about the mating system in Agile wallabies. Breeding takes place at any time of year with a peak between May and August. During this time males exhibit "play-fighting" behavior. They leap into the air and sinuously lashing their tails. The gestation period is about 30 days, after which a single young wallaby is born and makes its way to its mother's pouch. It remains there for 7–8 months and is weaned at about 11 months. Agile wallabies reach reproductive maturity at around 12-14 months of age.

CBS News Posts Unusual Story Glorifying Human Traffickers
By Josh Hammer
Apr 2, 2019 DailyWire.com
On Saturday, CBS News posted a rather unusual story that seems to mollycoddle and glorify a group of individuals of a rather unique "profession": Human smugglers.
Per CBS News:
Along the Panama-Colombia border lies 60 miles of dense forest where smugglers known as coyotes guide migrants seeking passage north, for the right price.
Emerson Gonzalez Jimenez said he typically charges $700 to get people safely from Capurgana, Colombia, to Bajo Chiquito, Panama. He said he sometimes makes exceptions and lowers the cost, especially if he encounters migrants who were abandoned by their group. "Many get lost. They lose the path," said Gonzalez Jimenez.
"I helped a lot of people, particularly women with children," he said. "Because many have passed through here and not made it." …
These hazards create an economic opportunity for men like Gonzalez Jimenez. …
"Most people think we (smugglers) are bad," Gonzalez Jimenez said. "But if a person needs to go from there to here, and can't do it… and they tell me, 'I'm going to pay you five, 10, 20 dollars… to take me to whatever location.' And if I didn't have a job at the time… to me, that's good."
Well, then.
As The Daily Caller notes, many conservatives did not react particularly well to this bit of hard-cutting "journalism" — journalism that "tr[ies] to put a positive spin on the people who routinely endanger the lives of vulnerable illegal immigrants."
"Among liberal activists and their allies in the mainstream media, there's a reluctance to acknowledge the darker side of the migrant crisis—or even admit that it's a crisis at all," tweeted John Daniel Davidson of The Federalist. "Hence CBS's portrayal of two migrant smugglers as humanitarians."

"Finally lived long enough to get so hyper-woke about applauding illegal immigration that we got a sympathetic piece from the network news about how underappreciated human traffickers are," sarcastically tweeted Jeff Blehar.

Caleb Howe, writing at TheBlaze, opines that the backlash to CBS News amounts to "the internet mob get[ting] it right":
A backlash on social media isn't a reliable gauge of whether a person or story is correct or a take is good or bad, but sometimes even the internet mob gets it right. That is the case with the tremendous negative response to a story that was tweeted by CBS News over the weekend praising so-called "coyotes." …
A 2010 report from the United Nations estimated the revenue generated by the network of coyotes smuggling people from Central and South America into the U.S. at about $6.6 billion, annually. Migrants hoping to make their way here can pay anywhere from $4,000 to over $10,000 dollars for the services of a coyote. That's per person. From within Mexico prices can be considerably less, as low as below a thousand.
Even without a criminal element to contend with, the "business" is incredibly risky. It involves paying bribes to government officials in multiple countries, paying off the drug cartels, hiding in safe houses, and arduous hiking through jungles, across open terrain, all the belongings you can carry on your back, and often with inadequate supplies.
As even The New York Times has reported, sexual assault from coyotes and traffickers is a huge humanitarian problem on the U.S.-Mexico border: "On America's southern border, migrant women and girls are the victims of sexual assaults that most often go unreported, uninvestigated and unprosecuted. … The stories are many, and yet all too similar. Undocumented women making their way into American border towns have been beaten for disobeying smugglers, impregnated by strangers, coerced into prostitution, shackled to beds and trees and — in at least a handful of cases — bound with duct tape, rope or handcuffs."
Someone ought to inform CBS News.

Syrians in Turkey Await 'Historic' Changes in AKP's Refugee Policy
Monday November 16th, 2015 by Enab Baladi (opposition website)
"Historic and fateful decisions to reform the situation of Syrian refugees in Turkey to enable them to live in dignity and integration within the Turkish community," government spokesman tells Turkish media
The official spokesman for Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) said "historic" measures will be taken to help Syrians after the formation of a new government, according to Turkey Now website on Sunday, November 15.
The spokesman told TRT HABER that within 100 days, the government would issue "historic and fateful decisions to reform the situation of Syrian refugees in Turkey to enable them to live in dignity and integration within the Turkish community."
Syrian refugees in Turkey waited cautiously for the results of this month's parliamentary elections, as some have been concerned about a change in their legal status.
Many Syrians feel the AKP victory will provide them with access to greater services after leaked reports regarding the government's plans to form a ministry solely concerned with Syrian affairs in Turkey.
Turkey is home to nearly two million refugees distributed throughout the border camps and main cities, notably in Gaziantep and Istanbul. Many have found difficulty integrating into Turkish society because of the difference in languages.

Ken Faulks, "Land, Sea and Sky," 2018
Join us for the opening reception with Artist in Residence painting demonstrations Saturday October 20, 1- 4pm and Sunday October 21, 2 - 4pm.
Annual Victoria Gallery Walk Saturday October 20 10-5:30 & Sunday October 21 12-5pm
Sensational Victoria based artist Ken Faulks unveils his much anticipated collection of new paintings at West End Gallery. Employing the methods and media popular with the Group of Seven, oil paint on small wood panels, Ken takes to painting outside, "en plein air", like no other artist finding it both challenging and tremendously satisfying. Back in the studio he expertly renders these smaller "plein air" paintings into impressive larger works on panel. Lush brushstrokes, a bold palette and a keen compositional sense have become synonymous with his style. Grand skies, log strewn beaches and other familiar landscapes from around southern Vancouver Island have delighted and excited both new and established collectors.
Whether working en plein air or in the studio, I feel the reference I'm working from is only the starting point in the process of making a painting. Yes, my work is representational but it has a definite abstract quality both in the compositions and in the application of the paint. And it is that abstractness of paint that really excites me; I love what a brushstroke or a 'blob' of paint can do. I love how so much can be said with just paint because, for me, the paint itself is really the subject and I want it to be interesting enough to engage the viewer, over and over again. - Ken Faulks

(CNN) — A retired FBI agent who authorities say tipped off notorious mobster James "Whitey" Bulger to his arrest more than 30 years ago is returning to Massachusetts.
Bob Fitzpatrick, who oversaw the FBI's investigation into Bulger's role in the Winter Hill Gang in the 1970s and 1980s, has been on medical leave from the agency since 2011.
In a written statement, FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch said Fitzpatrick's leave "has been granted to permit him to continue to address health issues he is dealing with."
"No information is available on the nature of these issues," Lynch said.
Friends of Fitzpatrick told the Boston Globe he told them last week he had terminal cancer. That report has not been confirmed by the FBI.
The Globe reported that his supporters said Fitzpatrick was undergoing multiple rounds of radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
"Unfortunately, he won't be able to continue his medical treatment due to a lack of funding, but hopefully he will be back in January for a fourth round of radiation and he'll be walking once again," the newspaper quoted one of Fitzpatrick's friends, Lawrence Jacob, as saying.
Bulger fled Boston days before he was indicted on murder charges in 1982. A year later, he was arrested by federal agents in Santa Monica, California, and returned to Massachusetts to stand trial.

The HLS (Human Landing System) spacecraft is a critical component of NASA's Artemis program to land humans on the Moon. The HLS will convey astronauts from the Lunar Gateway space station in lunar orbit to the lunar surface, sustain them there, and then return them to the Gateway station.

Rather than leading the HLS development effort internally, NASA provided a reference design and asked commercial vendors compete to design, develop and deliver a system based on a NASA-produced set of requirements. Each selected vendor is required to deliver two landers: one for an uncrewed test lunar landing, and one to be used as the first Artemis crewed lander. NASA started the competition process in 2019 with the Starship HLS selected as the winner in 2021. The original timeline called for an uncrewed test flight before a crewed flight in 2024 as part of the Artemis 3 mission but the crewed flight has been delayed to at least 2025.

In addition to the initial contract, NASA awarded two rounds of separate contracts in May 2019 and September 2021 on aspects of the HLS to encourage alternative designs, separately from the initial HLS development effort. It announced in March 2022 that it was developing new sustainability rules and pursuing both a Starship HLS upgrade and a new competing alternative design that would comply with the rules.

Reference design

The Advanced Exploration Lander is a 2018 NASA concept for a three-stage lander, intended to serve as a design reference for the commercial HLS design proposals. After departing from the Lunar Gateway in its lunar Near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO), a transfer module would take the lander and embarked crew to a low lunar orbit and then separate. The descent module would then land itself and the ascent module carrying the crew on the lunar surface. A crew of up to four could spend up to two weeks on the surface before using ascent module to take them back to the Gateway. Each of the three modules would have a mass of approximately 12 to 15 metric tons and would be delivered separately by commercial launchers for integrating at the Gateway. Both the ascent and transfer modules could be designed to be reusable, with the descent module intended to be left on the lunar surface.

Preliminary HLS studies

In December 2018 NASA announced that it was issuing a formal request for proposals as Appendix E of NextSTEP-2 inviting American companies to submit bids for the design and development of new reusable systems allowing astronauts to land on the lunar surface. On February 14, 2019, NASA hosted an Industry Forum at NASA HQ to provide an overview of the Human Landing System (HLS) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA).

In April 2019 NASA announced a formal request for proposals (RFP) closing on November 15, 2019, for Appendix H of NextSTEP-2 inviting American companies to submit bids for the design and development of the Ascent Element of the Human Landing System (HLS) including the cabin used during landings. This was extended to cover an option for an integrated lander - a single vehicle that performs transfer, descent, and ascent.

Design competition
Five companies responded to NASA's request for proposal by the November 2019 deadline, and after evaluating the proposals, NASA selected three for further design work. In April 2020, NASA awarded separate contracts totalling US$967 million in design development funding to Blue Origin, Dynetics, and SpaceX to begin 10-month-long design processes. The companies/teams selected in the 2020 design awards were the "National Team" led by Blue Origin, with US$579 million in NASA design funding; Dynetics, including SNC and other unspecified companies, with US$253 million in NASA funding; and SpaceX with a modified Starship spacecraft design called Starship HLS, with US$135 million in NASA design funding.

Although the HLS initial design phase was planned to be a ten-month program ending in February 2021 with the selection of up to two contractors, NASA delayed the selection process and announcement by two months.

The companies were bidding on a contract to provide design, development, build, test, and evaluation of an HLS, plus two lunar landings, one uncrewed and one crewed, for a fixed price. NASA evaluated the bids based on three evaluation factors: technical merit, managerial ability, and price, in that order, and found SpaceX better.

On 16 April 2021, NASA selected only a single lander — Starship HLS — to move on to a full-up development contract. NASA awarded a US$2.89 billion contract to SpaceX to develop the Starship HLS lander and to provide two operational lunar missions — one uncrewed demonstration mission, and one crewed lunar landing — as early as 2025. NASA had stated that they would have preferred to award two contracts, but that insufficient funds were appropriated by Congress to allow the awarding of a second contract. This had been stated as a possible outcome in the contract solicitation.

Post-competition protests and litigation

On April 30, 2021, both Blue Origin and Dynetics filed formal protests with the US Government Accountability Office claiming that NASA had improperly evaluated aspects of the proposals.
On April 30, 2021, NASA suspended the Starship HLS contract and funding until such time as the GAO could issue a ruling on the protests.
In May 2021, Sen. Cantwell, from Blue Origin's state of Washington, introduced an amendment to the "Endless Frontier Act" that directed NASA to reopen the HLS competition and select a second lander proposal, authorized spending of an additional US$10 billion. This funding would require a separate appropriations act. Sen. Sanders criticized the amendment as a "multibillion dollar Bezos bailout", as the money would likely go to Blue Origin, which was founded by Jeff Bezos. The act, including this amendment, was passed by the Senate on June 8, 2021.

On July 30, 2021, the GAO rejected the protests and found that "NASA did not violate procurement law" in awarding the contract to SpaceX, who bid a much lower cost and more capable system.  Nevertheless, CNBC reported on August 4 that "Jeff Bezos' space company remains on the offensive in criticizing NASA's decision to award Elon Musk's SpaceX with the sole contract to build a vehicle to land astronauts on the moon" and the company had produced an infographic highlighting several Starship deficiencies compared to the Blue Origin proposal, but noted the infographic avoided showing the Blue Origin bid price as roughly double the SpaceX bid price. Soon after the appeal was rejected, NASA made the contracted initial payment of US$300M to SpaceX.

On August 13, 2021, Blue Origin filed a lawsuit in the US Court of Federal Claims challenging "NASA's unlawful and improper evaluation of proposals." Blue Origin asked the court for an injunction to halt further spending by NASA on the existing contract with SpaceX. Reaction to the lawsuit was mostly negative in the space community, at NASA, and among Blue Origin employees according to space journalist Eric Berger. The judge dismissed the suit on November 4, 2021 and NASA was allowed to resume working with SpaceX.

Starship HLS

The Starship Human Landing System (Starship HLS) was selected by NASA for long-duration crewed lunar landings as part of NASA's Artemis program.

The Starship HLS is a modified configuration of SpaceX's Starship spacecraft, optimized to operate on and around the Moon. As a result, the heat shield and flight control surfaces — parts of the main Starship design needed for atmospheric re-entry — are not included in Starship HLS. The entire spacecraft will land on the moon and will then launch from the moon. If needed, the variant will use high-thrust CH4/O2 RCS thrusters located mid-body on Starship HLS during the final "tens of meters" of the terminal lunar descent and landing, and will be powered by a solar array located on its nose below the docking port. Elon Musk stated that Starship HLS would be able to deliver "potentially up to 200 tons" to the lunar surface.

Starship HLS would be launched to Earth orbit using the SpaceX Super Heavy booster, and would use a series of tanker spacecraft to refuel the Starship HLS vehicle in earth orbit for lunar transit and lunar landing operations. Starship HLS would then act as its own transit vehicle to reach lunar orbit for rendezvous with Orion. In the mission concept, a NASA Orion spacecraft would carry a NASA crew to the lander, where they would depart and descend to the surface of the Moon. After lunar surface operations, Starship HLS would lift off from the lunar surface acting as a SSTO and return the crew to Orion.

NASA did highlight two weaknesses with SpaceX's proposal. Starship's propulsion systems were described as "notably complex", and the report referred to prior delays under the Commercial Crew program and Falcon Heavy launch vehicle development as evidence of potential threats to their development schedule.

Unselected proposals

Integrated Lander Vehicle

The Integrated Lander Vehicle (ILV) or National Human Landing System (NHLS) was a lunar lander design concept proposed by the "National Team" which is led by Blue Origin, along with Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Draper Laboratory as major partners.

The main selling point of the lander was that all the components have been in development in one form or another for some time. The transfer stage is based on the Cygnus spacecraft, the Blue Moon will be used as the descent stage, and the ascent stage will be based on the Orion spacecraft. It was to be launched in three parts on either the New Glenn and Vulcan Centaur but could also be launched on a single SLS Block 1B.

In the April 28, 2020 HLS source selection statement, NASA stated that the vehicle passed all requirements but faced risks with its power, propulsion, and communications systems which posed a significant risk to the developmental timeline.

Dynetics ALPACA HLS

The Dynetics ALPACA (Autonomous Logistics Platform for All-Moon Cargo Access) Human Landing System design concept was proposed by Dynetics and Sierra Nevada Corporation with support from a number of subcontractors. The vehicle design consisted of a single-stage lander powered by methalox engines, although an earlier design used drop tanks. ALPACA was proposed to launch on a Vulcan Centaur or SLS Block 1B rocket, and be refueled by up to three Vulcan Centaur tanker flights. Ultimately, NASA did not select the proposal, citing negative mass margins and an experimental thrust structure, which could pose threat to development time.

Boeing HLS

The Boeing Human Landing System proposal was submitted to NASA in early November 2019. The primary solution was a two-stage lander designed to launch on a single SLS Block 1B, with Intuitive Machines working with Boeing to provide engines, and reusing technologies from their Starliner spacecraft. To cover the possibility that the SLS Block 1B was not ready by 2024, Boeing proposed a solution where the descent stage was launched on an SLS Block 1 while the ascent stage would be launched by a commercial launcher and assembled in lunar orbit. The Boeing proposal was not selected for design funding by NASA in the April 2020 design funding announcements.

Vivace HLS
The Vivace Human Landing System was a lunar landing concept by aerospace firm Vivace. Little is known about the vehicle other than its resemblance to NASA's Altair lunar lander from the Constellation program. Vivace's concept was not selected for design funding.

Alternative design studies
In addition to the design and development RFP for Appendix H of NextSTEP-2, NASA announced 11 contracts worth US$45.5 million in total for Appendix E of NextSTEP-2 in May 2019. These were short-term studies on transfer vehicles, descent elements, descent element prototypes, refueling element studies and prototypes. One of the requirements was that selected companies would contribute at least 20% of the total cost of the project "to reduce costs to taxpayers and encourage early private investments in the lunar economy".

A second set of contracts totalling $146 million was awarded on September 14, 2021. These contracts were for studies of a second-generation HLS that is to be used for missions after Artemis 3. As with the first set of contracts, NASA intends to award more than one HLS if there is sufficient funding.

On March 23, 2022, NASA announced it intended to initiate a formal request for proposals for second-generation HLS designs, drafting new sustainability rules to support it with a 2026-27 delivery date for the design. NASA stated it would solicit designs from the broader aerospace industry out of a need for redundancy and competition. Under the current HLS contract, NASA also exercised an option calling for a second Starship HLS demonstration mission to the Moon, with the Starship design updated to meet the new sustainability rules. In addition, NASA announced a target date of April 2025 for Artemis 3, likely using the first-generation Starship HLS design. Space.com journalist Mike Wall speculated that, based on statements from NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, NASA had gained enough congressional and presidential support to make the requests.

Follow-on programs

In 2021, NASA began studies on the future Lunar Exploration Transportation Services (LETS) for regular trips between the Gateway station, lunar orbits, and the lunar surface; for sustainable HLS operations.

Q: Background image not showing. Blocked by JPanel/JScrollPane? Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else but I cant find a solution.
I have a JFrame for which ive set a background and a JPanel in a JScrollPane.
However when i add the scrollpane to my jframe it only shows grey even though i set it to opaque.
I am trying to get it so the jpanel back is transparent and the buttons added to the jpanel
scroll over the background.
Here is my code:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.io.File;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;

public class ZeldaBundle extends JFrame {

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane(panel);
JLabel background = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("images/back.jpg"));

JButton theLegendOfZelda = new JButton() {
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        try {
            g.drawImage(ImageIO.read(new File("images/The Legend Of Zelda.png")), 0, 0, null);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            setText("The Legend OF Zelda");
        }
    }
};

public ZeldaBundle() {
    setSize(900, 563);
    setResizable(false);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    setIconImage(new ImageIcon("images/zelda.png").getImage());

    setContentPane(background);
    background.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

    panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(1000, 563));
    panel.setLayout(null);

    panel.setOpaque(false);
    scroller.setOpaque(false);

    theLegendOfZelda.setSize(270, 110);
    theLegendOfZelda.setLocation(700, 113);
    panel.add(theLegendOfZelda);
    scroller.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
    scroller.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
    add(scroller);
    setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new ZeldaBundle();
    }
}

Does anyone know how to fix this or know where it has been answered?
Thanks.
(Yes i know its null layout, ill change it when ive got this sorted(!))

A: Set the scroller viewport to be non-opaque
scroller.getViewport().setOpaque(false);

Also, I would suggest overriding JButton.paintComponent() instead of JButton.paint().  Difference between paint() and paintcomponent()?

Myrtle Beach bike rallies ready to "rev" up, but not in city
Michael Brown May 5, 2009 May 5, 2009 Comments Off on Myrtle Beach bike rallies ready to "rev" up, but not in city
The 69th Annual Cruisin' the Coast Spring Bike Week starts up on Friday and lasts until May 17. This year, bikers are receiving a less welcoming reception from the City of Myrtle Beach. City spokesman Mark Kruea says last year the city passed 15 ordinances that would put limitations on bikers in the city. Because of this, the rallies will be primarily further west, at the Myrtle Beach Speedway off Highway 501.
"The city essentially said, 'look, these rallies are too big, too loud, too boisterous, and we just don't want to be the center of the motorcycling universe in May anymore.' With that decision in mind, the city did look at its ordinances, amended a few and added a couple of new ones," says Kruea.
For example, Kruea says in the city of Myrtle Beach it is required for bikers to wear a helmet if riding a motorcycle, there are noise ordinances, alcohol restrictions, and more. However, bikers don't really see a need for these ordinances because on their website bikers claim 90% of bike rally activity has always been away from the city anyway. Kruea says that's not exactly the case.
"These events were centered in Myrtle Beach. The Harley Davidson event was more scattered up and down the Grand Strand and the Memorial Day event really did occur inside the city limits. There's always been a piece of it that's been in the city," says Kruea.
Kruea says the city notices this year will be a transition year, but they hope to see a change in noise and volume in the city.

Gullane upgrades practice facilities with help from Huxley
1.34pm 3rd December 2020	- Courses
Gullane Golf Club in Scotland has installed a large all-weather practice tee from Huxley Golf as part of a major upgrade to its practice facilities.
The East Lothian club's new short game facility covers a three-acre site and allows players to strike off quality links turf from 12 designated areas and features three bunkers and five pin flags, giving them plentiful options to hone their game, from bunker play to bump and runs, and pitches to flop shots.
The practice tee was incorporated specifically to lengthen the practice area in order to keep pace with today's shot-lengthening technologies. Designed on a curve to help golfers aim down the middle, it measures 126ft by 12ft and was created using Huxley's all-weather tee turf.
The transformative works were carried out to further enhance and expand the Gullane experience for visiting golfers, while satisfying the demand from members for high-end practice facilities.
Gullane's club captain Adam Fox said: "We are committed to providing world-class facilities here at Gullane. In doing so, visitors will enjoy a wonderful experience both on and off our three courses – one that combines the finest traditions of links golf with the very best of modern amenities. Our new facility adds to our offering for members and visitors, but it also enhances our professional tuition service and gives local youngsters in the Club's blossoming junior ranks the opportunity to work on their game."
Course Manager Stewart Duff added: "Naturally, we wanted to work with the very best professional partners to create our vision for the future: those that offer the quality craftsmanship and service that we expect. Huxley Golf delivered on all fronts from initial contact to project completion. I can confidently say that Huxley Golf surfaces are second to none in terms of both durability and playability and, of course, they're a breeze for the greenkeepers to maintain. I would highly recommend them."
Hugh Fraser, who oversaw the project for Huxley Golf, commented: "It has been a privilege for Huxley Golf to work with the team at Gullane to help them look to the future while protecting their historic legacy. I have no doubt that our all-weather surfaces will contribute to the excellent experience that golfers enjoy there and enhance Gullane's reputation as one of the world's leading links courses."

Major István (Verebély, 1887. december 13. – Pozsony, 1963. szeptember 19.) tanár, kommunista politikus, diplomata, magyarországi csehszlovák nagykövet, a Ľudový denník, Népszava, Szántó-Vető és a pozsonyi Pravda szerkesztője.

Élete
Előbb Verebélyen tanult, majd a modori tanítóképzőn végzett, majd Nagykéren, Nevigyénben, Özdögén és 1913-tól Nagyhinden tanított. 1920-tól csatlakozott a formálódó kommunista mozgalomhoz. 1921 elején a csehszlovákiai Népszava hetilap szerkesztője lett, s a szlovákiai kommunista mozgalom egyik meghatározó alakjává vált.

1923-1925 között Pozsony képviselőtestületi tagja, 1925-1929 között a CSKP nemzetgyűlési képviselője volt. 1931-től a CSKP KB tagja, 1930-ban a CSKP össz-szlovákiai titkára. 1931-ben a nemeskosúti sortűz kapcsán indított perben 18 havi fogházbüntetésre ítélték, majd a Ľudový dennník (Néplap) lapot szerkesztette. Egy időre a Szovjetunióba távozott. 1935-ben újból nemzetgyűlési képviselővé választották, de mandátumáról lemondott.

1938 őszén Kassán és Tornócon rendezett antifasiszta manifesztációk egyik fő szervezője és szónoka volt. Szlovenszkón 1938 októberében betiltották a Kommunista Pártot, ezért Moszkvába távozott, ahol a Kommunista Internacionálé apparátusában, később a Moszkvai Rádió szlovák adásának szerkesztőjeként dolgozott. 1945 júniusában tért vissza, de magyar nemzetisége miatt nem kapott párttisztséget, így a Pravda nyomdaipari vállalat igazgatója lett egészen 1951-ig. 1948-1954 között nemzetgyűlési képviselő volt, 1949-1954 között a CSKP KB tagja. 1948–1949-ben tagja a szlovák KB mellett működő Magyar Bizottságnak, 1950-1963 között pedig a Szlovák Kommunista Párt Központi Bizottságának a tagja volt. 1951-től 1957-es nyugdíjba vonulásáig Csehszlovákia magyarországi nagykövete.

Az ő közbenjárásának volt köszönhető, hogy Ortutay Gyula 1956-os felvidéki folklórgyűjtésének elveszett hanganyagait a következő évben Ág Tibor és Sima Ferenc részben pótolták.

Prágában nyugszik.

Ashton Millender named Big East Player of the Week
DePaul senior guard Ashton Millender tied a career high with 27 points in a loss to Notre Dame on Saturday at Wintrust Arena. Jonathan Aguilar | The DePaulia
Lawrence Kreymer, Asst. Sports Editor
After tying a career high with 27 points against top ranked Notre Dame, DePaul senior guard Ashton Millender was named Big East Player of the Week for her performance against the Fighting Irish on Monday.
Even in a losing effort to the defending national champions, Millender was outstanding finishing seven-of-12 from behind the arc. Millender's 27 points are also the most Notre Dame has allowed since the 2018 Sweet 16 that included matchups against Oregon, Connecticut and Mississippi State along the way since then.
Millender matched career highs in 3-point field goals, overall field goals and attempts (10-for-16), as well as, steals with three. Like her team, Millender got off to a quick start by scoring 13 points in the first quarter as the Blue Demons ended the first 10 minutes leading 29-22 — she ended the half with 19 points. In the second half the Irish were able to contain Millender to only eight points as they outscored DePaul 47-30 in the second half.
In two games against Green Bay and Notre Dame, Millender is averaging 21 points while making 15-of-27 (.556) of her shots and 11-of-22 from the three point line.
Millender and the Blue Demons will play their third game of the season on Thursday, with a 10 a.m. CT tipoff against Princeton at the Cancun Challenge.


South America is receiving an elevated immigration flow, according to a new statistical report published by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. The immigrant population in the region rose by 23 percent between 1990 and 2013, from 4.24 million to 5.23 million, which overshadowed stagnant immigration in Central America and the Caribbean.
Ecuador has shown the most rapid and positive inflow, with a 357 percent increase. From 78,700 in 1990, the number of immigrants reached a new record of 359,300 in 2013. Similarly, the number of immigrants in both Chile and Guyana has almost quadrupled, from 107,500 to 398,300 and 4,100 to 14,800, respectively.
The remaining nations in the top five, in terms of percentage growth, are Bolivia and Suriname — although the British territory of the Falkland Islands comes in between the two with a 139 percent or 1,200-person increase.
Brazil and Uruguay were the only two South-American nations to see a decline, and both by a substantial magnitude of 25 percent. That pattern held true for the past 13 years as well, wherein Brazil lost 12 percent of its immigrant population and Uruguay lost 17 percent. All other South-American nations still saw population increases.
The UN report also points out that worldwide the number of people living outside their home countries, 3.2 percent, has never been higher. This year the figure reached 232 million, up from 175 million in the year 2000. Of the current migrant population, those living in developed countries amount to 136 million, while those living in developing countries total 96 million.
John Wilmoth, director of the Population Division, said that profound changes are taking place. There are now countries which are simultaneously sources, destinations, and transit zones for immigrants. He also noted that migrants born in Latin America and the Caribbean represent the second largest diaspora, behind only those from Asia. The Latin-Americans live mostly in North America, especially in the United States.
The United States, with 46 million immigrants, is also the world's most popular destination in absolute terms. It is the country of choice for 26 million Latin-American immigrants — including 13 million Mexicans — more than two million Chinese, two million Indians, and two million Filipinos.
Half of the world's migrant population then live in just ten countries. After the US, we have Russia, with 11 million; Germany, with 9.8 million; Saudi Arabia, with 9 million; the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom, with 7.8 million each; France, with 7.4 million; Canada, with 7.3 million; and Australia and Spain, with 6.5 million each.
