I am a true horse lover.
uninformed horse lovers across the country are making a big deal about a wonderful but now closed horse rescue operation in Valley Center, California, called HiCaliber Horse Rescue.
Their ignorant criticisms fall under two categories – alleged cruelty to horses – including euthanasia and alleged financial fraud crimes allegedly perpetrated by the operator of the Rescue Center, the much maligned victim of their attacks, Michelle Knuttila.
The false animal cruelty allegations range from neglecting horses after purchase, not providing food or water, transporting it to the ranch in unsafe conditions, making horses live in unsanitary environments, not giving them proper medical care and unnecessary euthanasia.
All of it is false.
But let me ask you this simple question: What would have happened to those horses if Michelle had not stepped forward to rescue them? Most of them would have wound up in the slaughterhouse pipeline – suffering terribly.
Michelle Knuttila is a hero to horses.
Yet the vicious attackers – which now I must include Frank Parlato – created controversies surrounding HiCaliber which caused her so much harm. But the true victims are the horses. Never forget that.
And just as earlier unfair reports seem to have triggered bogus investigations by the California Veterinary Medical Board, the Attorney General, the San Diego DA, Humane Society and the Ontario Police Department, Parlato's report, with his large readership, and his bogus allegations, I heard, may have now triggered a federal investigation. And everyone knows how unfair and corrupt the FBI is.
How much grief does one woman deserve? This woman saved over 1000 horses. Now you want to see her in jail?
Michelle Knutilla was 100 percent dedicated to the protection and rescue of abandoned and abused horses. She went out of her way to save horses. She strained and sweated and pleaded with people to get the money to save horses at livestock auctions, local shelters, Craigslist postings, owner surrenders and other reputable rescue organizations. Not to mention owners who sold her horses that were too sick or too lame or thin to be accepted for sale even at the auctions.
She took in the horses that nobody wanted. Who else would take them all in?
If there is a heaven for horses and people who love them, then Michelle will be the archangel there.
And the horses were comfortable and properly secured for safe transportation. Sometimes – in order to save more horses, a horse like the often mentioned Galle had to suffer a tiny bit. But how much more Galle would have suffered if Michelle did not come to the rescue.
Galle was lame and could not bear weight on one of her legs. But Michelle did not create the lameness. Critics said she should have called a vet on the spot – but what could the vet do in the parking lot of the auction? It is just nonsense. She had to bring Galle to HiCaliber where the horse could be cared for or if the vet said it was unavoidable to humanely euthanize Galle.
And how wonderful are Michelle's videos. She tugged at the heartstrings of thousands of good people – getting them to do something for horses. People who never cared or thought about the suffering of horses before suddenly became aware that horses suffer and much like people..
Michelle is a saint in this respect. A messenger of goodness and greatness for the protection of horses.
Michelle was busy creating live videos of sick and suffering horses from the auction, raising money to save more of them and this is bad? How do you think horses are to be fed and care for without money?
Vets and feed stores charge money.
Once the horses got to the ranch they were so happy. It was a haven compared to where they came from and where they would have otherwise gone – the slaughterhouse pipeline.
The pens were decent for the most part. Sure there was manure. If you have horses, you will have horse manure. Horses are used to it. It startles me how all these vicious ladies attack Michelle, but what have they done? Did they offer to clean up horse manure? Did they ever rescue a horse?
Why didn't they do more than complain on their computer keyboards while sitting on their backsides? Why didn't they help? They criticized us and asked what kind of a horse rescuer would allow their animals to live in unsanitary conditions? Well what kind of horse rescuer would do nothing to help us while we were saving hundreds of horses?
Then the critics condemned us for euthanizing horses that could not be rehabilitated. Michelle taught us that euthanizing is a form of rescue in itself. It makes sense to do it expeditiously to save the poor creatures from pain and suffering and save on expenses (which is not a bad thing – for every dollar saved is another dollar used to save horses].
Michelle told me that gunshot euthanasia is the fastest, quickest, stress free method for the horses that we cater to. Euthanizing saves them from the slaughterhouse pipeline to Mexico, where they are treated brutally, hung upside down alive, starved on the way, then killed with multiple strikes or shot anyway after being terrorized.
Michelle, with all the love in the world, came gracefully before the horse and whispering to it messages of love, quickly and humanely shot it ending its terrible misery. If I were a horse suffering so badly I would rather see Michelle before me than be ripped apart at the slaughterhouse.
In most cases, Michelle gave the horse extra time to live and gently led it to the great beyond. I pray there is a horse heaven for these beautiful dear creatures. And I know that Michelle never euthanized a horse that a veterinarian did not first declare was beyond hope.
But even if she did not Michelle knows at least 90 percent of what vets know. She performed surgeries and administered medicine which saved horses lives.
A lot of people (other than Michelle) are against buying really harmed horses from the abusers, Michelle sought out abused horses and saved them. Some of them she humanely euthanized.
And people who donated got their money's worth. They saved the suffering horses from the slaughter pipeline.
Sure Michelle sometimes uses colorful language. So what? This is just sexism. If it was a man no one would say a word. People are just jealous that she does so much good that they have to pick on her over little things. Someone condemned Michelle because she made a video of chopping and cooking horse testicles. But the horse was castrated by a vet. Normally wasteful people would throw out the testicles. But they are healthy and considered a delicacy in some lands. So she ate them. To me this is wisdom. This is not wasting. It is not like she cut off the testicles to eat them. They were cut off as part of an appropriate medical procedure.
In 2016, HiCaliber reported over a million dollars income but they only had $27K left over after all the heavy expenses of running such a wonderful enterprise. There was absolutely no salary or compensation for Michelle. This selfless woman who sacrificed her life to caring for horses without pay, is now accused of fraud by her critics.
The critics claim she used a few dollars on late-night fast-food and bar tabs, etc. This is no badge of fraud. You have to entertain potential partners and donors and others.
How hard it was for Michelle with the enormous expenses in maintaining horses and euthanizing them.
But her critics won the day. They got her closed down. Shame on you Shedrow. For shame Jennifer Marek. For shame Barbara Benson. You closed her up alright. You say good riddance but because of you tonight somewhere a horses is headed to the slaughterhouse that Michelle might have saved.
She could have been the biggest horse rescuer in the nation. She had that much talent and love.
She could have ended the slaughterhouse pipeline. But her jealous enemies would not stand for it.
Sometimes I wonder if the anonymous Shedrow is really an agent for the slaughterhouses?
Maybe not but Shedrow refuses to identify herself. She succeeded in closing down a wonderful horse rescue that saved 1000 horses and would have saved 1000s more. Now those horses are going to the slaughterhouse. if she is not an agent for the slaughterhouses, she should at least charge them a commission. Michelle Knuttila was on the way to closing down the slaughterhouse pipeline from California to Mexico.
How many horses did Shedrow ever save?
How many of the horses, that Michelle would have saved, went to the slaughterhouse this week?
Go away Frank. Stop writing about Michelle.
Let us all get on board and support getting Michelle back in the horse rescue operations again and stop the slaughterhouse pipeline. We can do it. Donate to Michelle.
.." . And I know that Michelle never euthanized a horse that a veterinarian did not first declare was beyond hope.
But even if she did not Michelle knows at least 90 percent of what vets know. She performed surgeries and administered medicine which saved horses lives." That is a prime example of the level of stupidity needed to believe Michelle Knutilla.
After reading just half of all this B.S. All is needed to say now is LOCK HER UP.. Where are those 1,000s of horses NOW.. Rescues in the past have created their own man made coffin and should now rest in peace in it. Why not push to abolish horse slaughter with our existing Safe Foods Act HR113 let's stop rewarding irresponsible people and rewarding criminals that make profits off them. starting with the feedlots in TN, Miss, Tx, La, Ks, and Ok. Real Threats to profit from sending to a home or to slaughter it's a win win for these Criminals. Horse slaughter does NOT even make up 1% of the 9 Million horses in the US. Another problem are the industries themselves that are creating this. Such as the AQHA and other Over breeder associations. Breed the BEST slaughter the Rest. Breeding the fastest and slaughter the rest because they aren't making them money.. Just irresponsible people.. FOLLOW THE MONEY..
Calling NXIVM a "self help group" is a pretty good indicator the author's view of reality is skewed, at best.

Q: How to create a udev rule for two devices with the same manufacturer id, product id, and serial number? I have two lidars. And in my code I need to provide the lidar port: ttyUSB0/ttyUSB1 etc...
I have this udev rule. (/etc/udev/rules.d/rplidar.rules)
rplidar.rules
# set the udev rule , make the device_port be fixed by rplidar
#
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10c4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ea60", MODE:="0777", SYMLINK+="rplidar"

By making this I can simply call port=rplidar in my code. But now I have two rplidars that have the same idVendor and idProduct, how can I distinguish them and create an additional rule for the second lidar?
When I plugged in only one device, this is how I did it
$ udevadm info -a -n /ttyUSB0
Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

For more items related to La Posada Hotel, click here for our previous articles.
Item #5: Casa Loma Cobalt Souvenir China
Souvenir China created for Casa Loma Hotel.
The Casa Loma Cobalt China pieces were all designed by the Wheelock and Johnroth souvenir china companies.
The following exerpt was taken from ThousandIslandsLife.com
The Wheelock family began selling china in Wisconsin well before the Civil War. In the early 1890's one of the many Wheelock children, Mr. Charles Wheelock, had the vision to expand their business into the latest craze, souvenir china. The business grew quickly and soon they employed over thirty salesmen selling souvenir china in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Wheelock mid west business was no longer regional. It had grown to international proportions.
Wheelock was not the manufacturer of souvenir china, as some believe, but the importer. Because Germany and Austria had the raw material to produce high quality hard paste porcelain, those two countries were the major source of souvenir china. The procedure was as follows. The scenes or pictures were selected in the area where they were to be sold, usually from postcards. They were then sent to Europe for processing. The next step was to make a transfer print of the picture which was then applied to the china. Initially the pictures were black and white but later many were hand colored at factories. Eventually transfer prints were done in color eliminating the step of coloring by hand.
This helps explains the picture but it didn't stop there. Many porcelain pieces were color tinted and some were decorated in a variety of motifs such as flowers or leaves. All of which added their beauty. Finally, the piece was glazed and fired in a kiln before being sent to the United States .
Not all souvenir china has the importer's mark on the bottom as many have no mark at all. Some were marked with the store's name where the item was to be sold along with the word "Germany." The McKinley Tariff Act of 1891 required that all imported items be marked with the country of origin. It seems logical that unmarked souvenir china date before the McKinley Act.
Casa Loma Hotel
Built in 1896, Casa Loma Hotel was not only a tourist destination. Not one, but three United States presidents have delivered speeches from Casa Loma, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Casa Loma was later converted to a University of Redlands dormitory from 1939 to 1955, when it was demolished.
Today, you will find a Stater Bros. grocery store at the site where Casa Loma Hotel once stood. The store was built on May 6, 1956. It was re-built on the same site in 1966 and remodeled in 1999.
From California Historical Society Collection, 1860-1960
Photograph of the Casa Loma Hotel in Redlands, 1896. Colton Avenue crosses in front of the hotel. The street and sidewalk in the foreground is Orange Avenue. The three-story building has a double portico on this facade. A square solarium tower is on the corner of the hotel. A few buildings are visible beyond. The hotel opened 25 February 1896. The Redlands Chamber of Commerce induced Colonel J.T. Ritchie to build the hotel. He subscribed $40,000 and the public $20,000. It had 150 rooms. The Casa Loma Hotel Company bought out Ritchie on 1 June 1899. A later owner was C.L. Roy. The corner room on the second floor is known as the "President Suite" as it was stayed in by President Roosevelt (May 1903), President Taft (October 1909), and President McKinley (1901).
From Community News (click here to see the article)
McKinley visited Redlands on Wednesday, May 8, 1901, four months before he was shot to death. The 25th president was the first to visit California, arriving by train at the Redlands station, said mckinleybirthplacemuseum.org.
In that speech McKinley said the now famous phrase "The Republic can never fail so long as the citizen is vigilant," according to the Association of Mature American Citizens.
According to roadsideamerica.com, it was McKinley's protective tariffs that kept the foreign oranges out of the country, making Redlands wealthy, so when he passed through the city he was treated like a hero, "with streets covered in rose petals." From Redlands he proceeded on to Ontario and Alhambra to eventually arrive at Los Angeles with their train entering in Chinatown, according to mckinleybirthplacemuseum.org.
Two years after McKinley visited Redlands, President Theodore Roosevelt came to town. One of his activities included unveiling a memorial bust of McKinley atop a granite pedestal, engraved "Patriot, Statesman, Martyr." The bust is still there, on the east side of South Eureka Street, on the lawn of the Lincoln Memorial Shrine, behind the A.K. Smiley Public Library.
According to the Association of Mature American Citizens, the 26th president delivered a speech on Thursday, May 7, 1903, at the Casa Loma Hotel, calling Redlands "a sight for the gods."
Historic archives at the Theodore Roosevelt Center at Dickinson State University keeps copies of speeches delivered by Roosevelt. During his speech in Redlands he congratulated the community and its leaders on forest preservation, irrigation, urban development, prosperity, and citizenship. Roosevelt also thanked the soldiers and veterans at the event.
William Howard Taft, the 27th president, came to town on Tuesday, Oct. 12, 1909, the last presidential visit.
According to the Association of Mature American Citizens, Taft did not stay for a long time due to a manhunt for an outlaw Indian. Taft made a few remarks but confused the city with Riverside instead of Redlands, according to the association.
Another curious fact happened when entering the city. The car occupied by Taft "refused to run properly… causing a brief delay," according to periodical archives at newspapers.com.
At the corner of Casa Loma Hotel, Taft was greeted by school children and Grand Army of the Republic veterans.
Taft made a few remarks to the children before continuing through Smiley Heights, Prospect Park and Library Park, according to newspapers.com.
EXACTLY WHAT IS THE MOR SHOWCASE?
The MOR Showcase is a temporary construction of a museum gallery inside the old Redlands Daily Facts building on Brookside Avenue. This is the same building that will be completely reconstructed into the permanent Museum of Redlands.
Built in the fall of 2018, the Showcase is approximately 2,000 square feet, which includes galleries and displays to provide a glimpse into what the permanent museum could be like. It uses items from MOR's current collection. The Showcase will be removed once construction of the new building begins.

Old Dogs (PG) *
Cast: John Travolta, Robin Williams, Kelly Preston, Seth Green
Roz Laws
Plot: Charlie (Travolta) and Dan (Williams) are best friends and partners in a sports marketing firm. Vicki, a woman Dan drunkenly married for 24 hours seven years ago suddenly turns up, about to go to prison for two weeks. It turns out he's the father of her twins and there's no-one else to look after them.
He and Charlie are forced to play dad to these horrible children, doing things like taking them camping.
Good points: This is a good cast, which also includes Matt Dillon and Jason Long. Quite why they all agreed to take part in such a terrible film is beyond belief. It's also short, so the agony is not prolonged.
Bad points: It's all bad. This is easily the worst film of the year so far and possibly last year too. Williams getting a spray tan, in a scene which goes on and on, is possibly the unfunniest thing ever. The 'jokes' are lavatorial and juvenile, the plot predictable, the dialogue dire and the acting lacklustre. Travolta seems to regard the film as one long jolly for his family – his wife Preston plays Vicki, one of the twins is his daughter Ella Bleu and his brother Sam and sister Margaret pop up as singing waiters.
Should I see it? Absolutely not.


My problem is that the auto format feature of PHPStorm always indents all of the html between the startup and shutdown code blocks, presumably because it thinks they are a parent tag. I've tried messing with the "Do not indent children of" setting in the html formatter (adding in "php", "?php", and "?php?"), but that had no effect. I don't see any settings that could control this in the php formatter options.

Vík Mayor Wants to Build Harbour for Sand Mine
Business, x News
Iceland's Minister of the Environment and Energy opposes plans to transport sand from a planned sand mine in South Iceland by truck along the Ring Road. Residents have expressed opposition to the plans, which would see large trucks driving at 7- to 8- minute intervals along the Ring Road in South Iceland 24 hours per day. The mayor of Vík, just 15 km west of the mine's planned location, has proposed building a harbour in the town from which the sand could be exported.
Road transport "is not going to work" says Environment Minister
"Everyone knows that there is a lot of strain on infrastructure as it is, and putting heavy transport on top of that is something that I don't think there will ever be agreement on," Environment Minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson stated. "Whichever way you look at it, adding to these roads and through these settlements is not going to work."
Negative impact on traffic, positive on the climate
In 2020, German company EP Power Minerals purchased a large property in South Iceland, around 15 km [9.3 mi] east of the town of Vík í Mýrdal. The property mostly consists of sand plains and the company plans to establish a sand mine on it. The sand would be exported to Europe and possibly North America, where it will be used as an additive in cement.
A recently-published environmental report on the proposed mine judged the project's impact on traffic and roads to be "considerably negative." Its climate impact, however, was evaluated as "considerably positive," as the material produced would replace cement clinker and reduce carbon emissions due to concrete production by 800 million kg of CO2 equivalents annually.
Only coastal town without a harbour
Einar Freyr Elínarson, Mayor of Mýrdalshreppur municipality (in which Vík is located), has proposed building a harbour in Vík from which the mined materials could be exported.
"Route 1 passes through several urban areas on the way to Þorlákshöfn [the planned export harbour]. So we in the municipality propose looking into the possibility of shipping all of this out from here on the coast, and building a harbour," Einar told Vísir.
Vík is the only coastal town in Iceland that doesn't have a harbour, but the south coast's strong waves post challenges in such construction projects. The nearby Landeyjarhöfn harbour, from which the Westman Islands ferry departs, fills with sand that must be pumped out regularly.
Einar says he has proposed the idea to EP Power Minerals representatives who have not expressed direct opposition to the idea. The harbour would not be built using public funds, Einar says, calling it an "exciting opportunity" for the municipality, as well as the local tourism and fishing industries.

Kentucky Horse-Racing Track Returns to Its Old Dirty Tricks
Published April 4, 2014 by Alisa Mullins. Last Updated July 29, 2015.
Just one day after The Jockey Club released statistics showing in no uncertain terms that synthetic racetracks are far safer than dirt or turf—and that the synthetic track at Keeneland race course in Kentucky has one of the best safety records—Keeneland made a seemingly inexplicable announcement: It plans to tear up its state-of-the-art synthetic track and replace it with a state-of-the-ark dirt track.
Why? "Owners and trainers, especially those who compete at the highest levels of the sport, overwhelmingly prefer dirt tracks," said Keeneland President Bill Thomason.
That may be, but as The New York Times reports, horses benefit from synthetics six to one. That's the rate at which horses suffer fatal breakdowns on dirt vs. synthetic tracks, according to Jockey Club records from 2009 to 2013.
The move is especially baffling coming on the heels of PETA's investigation of thoroughbred trainer Steve Asmussen, which has increased public scrutiny of the sport and prompted investigations by horse-racing authorities in Kentucky, New York, and New Mexico.
But as with just about everything else that has to do with horse racing, Keeneland's decision in all likelihood comes down to dollars—and not a lot of sense. Keeneland hopes to host the Breeders' Cup World Championships sometime in the future, and it apparently thinks that switching to dirt, like another Breeders' Cup host, Santa Anita Park, has done, will boost its chances.
"What's more important: safe and sound horses or hosting a Breeders' Cup once every four or five years?" asks New York Times sports reporter Joe Drape. "Who's more important: the equine athletes who put on the show, or the commercial breeders and captains of industry who sit on boards and in the box seats? We got the answer, and it's sad."

Chuelles est une commune française du Gâtinais, située dans le département du Loiret en région Centre-Val de Loire.

Géographie

Situation
La commune de Chuelles se trouve dans le quadrant nord-est du département du Loiret, dans la région agricole du Gâtinais pauvre. À vol d'oiseau, elle se situe à   d'Orléans, préfecture du département, à  de Montargis, sous-préfecture, et à  de Château-Renard, ancien chef-lieu du canton dont dépendait la commune avant mars 2015. La commune fait partie du bassin de vie de Courtenay dont elle est éloignée de .

Les communes les plus proches sont : La Selle-en-Hermoy (), Chantecoq (), Thorailles (), Saint-Firmin-des-Bois (), Courtemaux (), Saint-Hilaire-les-Andrésis (), Triguères (), Saint-Loup-de-Gonois (), Louzouer (), Courtenay () et Château-Renard (). Plus loin, on trouve Sens à 37 km au nord-est et Montargis à 20 km à l'ouest.

En plus de sa mairie et son église, le bourg possède des commerces de proximité essentiels : un boulanger-pâtissier, une épicerie, un bar, une annexe postale, deux garages réparations autos, un cabinet d'infirmier et une école élémentaire.

Paysage

Le village de Chuelles est situé sur un plateau calcaire très caillouteux fait de (silex), les terres agricoles sont plus ou moins arides, longtemps connues pour l'élevage du mouton, contrairement aux localités des vallées qui l'entourent, où les bovins étaient l'élevage principal.

De nombreux petits puits de pétrole parsèment le paysage. Il y a une petite station pétrolière sur la D 35 au sud du bourg.

Géologie et relief

Géologie
La commune se situe dans le sud du Bassin parisien, le plus grand des trois bassins sédimentaires français. Cette vaste dépression, occupée dans le passé par des mers peu profondes et des lacs, a été comblée, au fur et à mesure que son socle s'affaissait, par des sables et des argiles, issus de l'érosion des reliefs alentours, ainsi que des calcaires d'origine biologique, formant ainsi une succession de couches géologiques.

Les couches affleurantes sur le territoire communal sont constituées de formations superficielles du Quaternaire et de roches sédimentaires datant du Cénozoïque, l'ère géologique la plus récente sur l'échelle des temps géologiques, débutant il y a  d'années, et du Mésozoïque, anciennement appelé Ère secondaire, qui s'étend de . La formation la plus ancienne est de la craie blanche à silex remontant à la période Crétacé. La formation la plus récente est des alluvions et colluvions du fond des vallées secondaires remontant à l'époque Holocène de la période Quaternaire. Le descriptif de ces couches est détaillé dans  la feuille « n°366 - Courtenay » de la carte géologique au  du département du Loiret et sa notice associée.

Relief
La superficie cadastrale de la commune publiée par l'Insee, qui sert de références dans toutes les statistiques, est de . La superficie géographique, issue de la BD Topo, composante du Référentiel à grande échelle produit par l'IGN, est quant à elle de . Son relief est relativement plat puisque la dénivelée maximale atteint . L'altitude du territoire varie entre  et .

Hydrographie
Le ru de la Vallée-Saint-Jacques, petit affluent en rive droite de la Cléry elle-même affluent de l'Yonne, prend naissance sur la commune au nord du bourg, vers les Davids, et coule vers le nord pour confluer à Chantecoq. C'est un cours d'eau saisonnier pour l'essentiel de son parcours. Aucun cours d'eau permanent n'arrose la commune.

Lieux-dits et écarts

La commune comprend un grand nombre de hameaux, lieux-dits et fermes isolées, ainsi que des lotissements modernes de maisons individuelles isolés en pleine nature (la Boulassière avec une centaine de maisons dans les bois sur la route de Saint-Firmin, le Bois des Dodinets ou le Bois du Verger sur la route de Château-Renard, et d'autres). La campagne est donc sillonnée par de nombreuses petites routes formant un réseau très intriqué, dont un certain nombre ne servent qu'à desservir cet habitat dispersé - par exemple la petite route dans l'ouest de la commune qui forme une boucle de 4 km entre la D 35 en direction de La Selle-en-Hermoy à la D 37 en direction de Château-Renard  est la seule voie de desserte pour les neuf hameaux et un puits de pétrole.

Les lieux-dits suivis d'un astérisque sont situés à l'écart de la route indiquée.

 Il est à noter que le hameau dit la Gare de Chuelles est sur la commune de Triguères et non celle de Chuelles.

Climat

Milieux naturels et biodiversité
L'inventaire des zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF) a pour objectif de réaliser une couverture des zones les plus intéressantes sur le plan écologique, essentiellement dans la perspective d'améliorer la connaissance du patrimoine naturel national et de fournir aux différents décideurs un outil d'aide à la prise en compte de l'environnement dans l'aménagement du territoire. Le territoire communal de Chuelles ne comprend pas de ZNIEFF.

Toponymie

Le nom de la commune de Chuelles a probablement un lien avec l'élevage de mouton qui resta longtemps l'activité principale du plateau de l'Hermois, ce jusqu'aux désastres de la guerre de Cent Ans.

Les noms connus sont passés de Caullae gallo-romain à Caulta, Cholta, francisé en Chauloi, puis Choile et Chuelles - désignant originellement la barrière d'un parc à mouton.

Histoire

Les habitants préhistoriques de la commune y ont laissé au moins un mégalithe pour trace de leur occupation, à la Duranterie. Cf. Monuments

Entre le 29 janvier et le , plus de  réfugiés espagnols fuyant l'effondrement de la république espagnole devant les troupes de Franco, arrivent dans le Loiret. Devant l'insuffisance des structures d'accueil d'Orléans, 46 centres d'accueil ruraux sont ouverts, dont un à Chuelles. Les réfugiés, essentiellement des femmes et des enfants (les hommes sont désarmés et retenus dans le Sud de la France), sont soumis à une quarantaine stricte, vaccinés, le courrier est limité, et le ravitaillement, s'il est peu varié et cuisiné à la française, est cependant assuré. Une partie des réfugiés rentrent en Espagne, incités par le gouvernement français qui facilite les conditions du retour, ceux préférant rester sont regroupés au camp de la verrerie des Aydes, à Fleury-les-Aubrais.

Héraldique

Urbanisme

Typologie
Chuelles est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.
La commune est en outre hors attraction des villes.

Occupation des sols
L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (90,6 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (90,9 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
terres arables (85,5 %), forêts (5,7 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (5,1 %), zones urbanisées (3,7 %).

L'évolution de l'occupation des sols de la commune et de ses infrastructures peut être observée sur les différentes représentations cartographiques du territoire : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et les cartes ou photos aériennes de l'IGN pour la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Planification
Le conseil municipal prescrit l'élaboration d'une carte communale le 23 février 2004. Après une enquête publique qui se déroule du 15 novembre au 15 décembre 2005, le document est approuvé le 21 février 2006. Une révision du document est approuvée le 28 octobre 2011.

Logement

Voies de communication et transports

Infrastructures routières

Le village est traversé par deux petites départementales : la D 35 de direction générale sud-est / nord-ouest allant de Douchy à La Selle-en-Hermoy et Ferrières-en-Gâtinais au-delà ; et la D37 allant de Courtenay au nord-est à Château-Renard au sud.
La N 60 de Montargis à Courtenay, et au-delà d'Orléans à Sens, passe au coin nord-ouest de la commune.
Par ailleurs l'ancienne voie antique (pré-romaine) passant par Triguères pour relier la Loire à Sens et au-delà, maintenant la D 162 de Triguères à Courtenay, sert de limite sud-est de commune avec celle de Triguères sur environ 2,2 km.
La D 816 part du village vers le nord et Chantecoq.
Une autre petite route fréquemment empruntée localement est la route de Montcorbon et Villefranche vers le sud-est.

Transports en commun routiers
En 2016, Chuelles est desservie par la ligne régulière n°4 du réseau d'autocars interurbains Ulys qui relie Courtenay à Montargis. Cette ligne  propose un nombre de dessertes variable en fonction des jours ouvrables de la semaine. Des correspondances SNCF, avec le Transilien et le réseau Amelys sont assurées à la gare de Montargis.À compter du , la compétence des services de transports routiers interurbains, réguliers et à la demande est transférée des départements aux régions, et donc localement du département du Loiret à la région Centre-Val de Loire, consécutivement à la loi NOTRe du 7 août 2015.

Risques naturels et technologiques
La commune de Chuelles est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : climatiques (hiver exceptionnel ou canicule), mouvements de terrains ou sismique (sismicité très faible).
Entre 1989 et 2019, trois arrêtés ministériels ayant porté reconnaissance de catastrophe naturelle ont été pris pour le territoire de la commune  pour des inondations et coulées de boues.

Le territoire de la commune peut être concerné par un risque d'effondrement de cavités souterraines non connues. Une cartographie départementale de l'inventaire des cavités souterraines et des désordres de surface a été réalisée. Il a été recensé sur la commune plusieurs effondrements de cavités.

Par ailleurs le sol du territoire communal peut faire l'objet de mouvements de terrain liés à la sécheresse. Le phénomène de retrait-gonflement des argiles est la conséquence d'un changement d'humidité des sols argileux. Les argiles sont capables de fixer l'eau disponible mais aussi de la perdre en se rétractant en cas de sécheresse. Ce phénomène peut provoquer des dégâts très importants sur les constructions (fissures, déformations des ouvertures) pouvant rendre inhabitables certains locaux. Celui-ci a particulièrement affecté le Loiret après la canicule de l'été 2003. Une grande partie du territoire de la commune est soumise à un aléa  face à ce risque, selon l'échelle définie par le Bureau de recherches géologiques et minières (BRGM).

Depuis le , la France dispose d'un nouveau zonage sismique divisant le territoire national en cinq zones de sismicité croissante. La commune, à l'instar de l'ensemble du département,  est concernée par un risque très faible.

Politique et administration

Découpage territorial

Bloc communal : Commune et intercommunalités
La paroisse et bourg de Chuelles acquiert le statut de municipalité avec le  décret du  de l'Assemblée Nationale puis celui de « commune », au sens de l'administration territoriale actuelle, par le décret de la Convention nationale du 10 brumaire an II (). Il faut toutefois attendre la loi du  sur l'organisation municipale pour qu'un régime juridique uniforme soit défini pour toutes les communes de France, point de départ de l'affirmation progressive des communes face au pouvoir central.

Aucun événement de restructuration majeure du territoire, de type suppression, cession ou réception de territoire, n'a affecté la commune depuis sa création.

Le , un arrêté préfectoral transforme le SIVOM du canton de Château-Renard, créé le 2 avril 1968, en Communauté de Communes de Château-Renard qui comprend dix communes dont Chuelles. La commune appartient à d'autres établissements publics de coopération intercommunale, de type syndicats ou autres regroupements intercommunaux. Le découpage territorial de ces structures est en constante évolution dans une perspective de rationalisation et d'efficience des services.

Le  , la communauté de communes du Betz et de la Cléry (CCBC) et la communauté de communes de Château-Renard (CCCR) fusionnent pour donner naissance à la communauté de communes de la Cléry, du Betz et de l'Ouanne (3CBO). À l'occasion de cette fusion, le Syndicat d'Aménagement Rural (SAR) de Château-Renard et Courtenay, totalement inclus dans le périmètre de la 3CBO, fait partie intégrante de la nouvelle entité créée.

Circonscriptions de rattachement
Sous l'Ancien Régime, à la veille des États généraux de 1789, la paroisse de Chuelles était rattachée sur le plan ecclésiastique de l'ancien diocèse de Sens et sur le plan judiciaire au bailliage de Montargis.

La loi du  divise le pays en  découpés chacun en six à neuf districts eux-mêmes découpés en cantons regroupant des communes. Les districts, tout comme les départements, sont le siège d'une administration d'État et constituent à ce titre des circonscriptions administratives. La commune de Chuelles est alors incluse dans le canton de Courtenay, le district de Montargis et le département du Loiret.

La recherche d'un équilibre entre la volonté d'organiser une administration dont les cadres permettent l'exécution et le contrôle des lois d'une part, et la volonté d'accorder une certaine autonomie aux collectivités de base (paroisses, bourgs, villes) d'autre part, s'étale de 1789 à 1838. Les découpages territoriaux évoluent ensuite au gré des réformes visant à décentraliser ou recentraliser l'action de l'État. La régionalisation fonctionnelle des services de l'État (1945-1971) aboutit à la création de régions. L'acte I de la décentralisation de 1982-1983 constitue une étape importante en donnant l'autonomie aux collectivités territoriales, régions, départements et communes. L' intervient en 2003-2006, puis l'acte III en 2012-2015.

Le tableau suivant présente les rattachements, au niveau infra-départemental, de la commune de Chuelles aux différentes circonscriptions administratives et électorales ainsi que l'historique de l'évolution de leurs territoires.

Collectivités de rattachement
La commune de Chuelles est rattachée au département du Loiret et à la région Centre-Val de Loire, à la fois circonscriptions administratives de l'État et collectivités territoriales.

Politique et administration municipales

Conseil municipal et maire
Depuis les élections municipales de 2014, le conseil municipal  de Chuelles, commune de plus de , est élu au scrutin proportionnel de liste à deux tours (sans aucune modification possible de la liste),  pour un mandat de six ans renouvelable. Il est composé de 15 membres. L'exécutif communal est constitué par le maire, élu par le conseil municipal, parmi ses membres, pour un mandat de six ans, c'est-à-dire pour la durée du mandat du conseil.

Équipements et services

Environnement

Gestion des déchets

En 2016, la commune est membre du syndicat d'aménagement rural (SAR) des cantons de Courtenay et Château-Renard. Celui-ci assure la collecte et le traitement des ordures ménagères résiduelles en porte à porte, des emballages ménagers recyclables, des journaux-magazines et du verre en points d'apport volontaire. Un réseau de trois déchèteries accueille les encombrants et autres déchets spécifiques (déchets verts, déchets dangereux, gravats, ferrailles, cartons, cartouches/capsules, déchets dangereux). La déchèterie la plus proche est située sur la commune de Courtenay. Le SAR n'assure pas le traitement, ni la valorisation des déchets collectés qui sont effectués par le SMIRTOM et différents prestataires. Le SMIRTOM de Montargis procède à l'élimination et la valorisation énergétique des déchets ménagers dans l'unité d'Amilly, construite en 1969. Une convention de délégation du service public de traitement a été conclue en 2013 avec la société Novergie Centre, filiale énergie du Groupe Suez pour la valorisation énergétique des déchets.

Depuis le , la  ne fait plus partie des compétences de la commune mais est une compétence obligatoire de la communauté de communes de la Cléry, du Betz et de l'Ouanne (3CBO) en application de la loi NOTRe du . À l'occasion de la création de la 3CBO, le Syndicat d'Aménagement Rural (SAR) de Château-Renard et Courtenay, totalement inclus dans le périmètre de cette nouvelle structure, est dissout par arrêté préfectoral du  et les personnels, biens et équipements font désormais partie intégrante de la nouvelle communauté de communes.

Production et distribution d'eau

Le service public d'eau potable est une compétence obligatoire des communes depuis l'adoption de la loi du 30 décembre 2006 sur l'eau et les milieux aquatiques. Au , la production et la distribution de l'eau potable sur le territoire communal sont assurées par le syndicat des eaux de la Cléry et du Betz, un syndicat créé en 2013 desservant quinze communes : Bazoches-sur-le-Betz, Le Bignon-Mirabeau, Chantecoq, La Chapelle-Saint-Sépulcre, Chevannes, Chevry-sous-le-Bignon, Chuelles, Courtemaux, Ervauville, Foucherolles, Griselles, Louzouer, Mérinville, Pers-en-Gâtinais, Rosoy-le-Vieil, Saint-Hilaire-les-Andrésis, Saint-Loup-de-Gonois, La Selle-en-Hermoy, La Selle-sur-le-Bied, Thorailles.
La loi NOTRe du 7 août 2015 prévoit que le transfert des compétences « eau et assainissement » vers les communautés de communes sera obligatoire à compter du . Le transfert d'une compétence entraîne  de  facto la mise à disposition gratuite de plein droit des biens, équipements et services publics utilisés, à la date du transfert, pour l'exercice de ces compétences et la substitution de la communauté dans les droits et obligations des communes.

Assainissement

La compétence assainissement, qui recouvre obligatoirement la collecte, le transport et l'épuration des eaux usées, l'élimination des boues produites, ainsi que le contrôle des raccordements aux réseaux publics de collecte<ref name="Ass-16">{{Harvsp|id= Assainis|texte=  Les services publics d'eau et d'assainissement "}}, .</ref>, est assurée  par la commune elle-même.
La commune est raccordée à une station d'épuration située sur le territoire communal, mise en service le  et dont la capacité nominale de traitement est de  , soit . Cet équipement utilise un procédé d'épuration biologique dit « à boues activées ». Son exploitation est assurée en 2017 par Chuelles               .

L'assainissement non collectif (ANC) désigne les installations individuelles de traitement des eaux domestiques qui ne sont pas desservies par un réseau public de collecte des eaux usées et qui doivent en conséquence traiter elles-mêmes leurs eaux usées avant de les rejeter dans le milieu naturel. Le Syndicat mixte d'Aménagement Rural des cantons de Courtenay et de Château-Renard a créé un service public d'assainissement non collectif (SPANC) qui a pour missions la vérification de la conception et de l'exécution des ouvrages pour les installations neuves ou réhabilitées et la vérification périodique du bon fonctionnement et de l'entretien des installations existantes. Depuis le , le SPANC est assuré par la 3CBO, dont la création a été accompagnée de la dissolution du Syndicat d'Aménagement Rural (SAR) de Château-Renard et Courtenay.

 Prix de l'eau
Le « prix de l'eau » doit permettre de financer l'ensemble des investissements (mise en place de nouveaux ouvrages, mise aux normes du patrimoine existant, renouvellement du patrimoine, etc.) mais aussi les frais de fonctionnement du service (frais de personnel du service, électricité, produits de traitement, renouvellement du matériel, analyses, élimination des déchets, etc.). L'observatoire national des services d'eau et d'assainissement publie la description actualisée des services publics d'eau potable et d'assainissement, qu'il s'agisse de leur organisation, de leur tarif ou de leur performance. Le prix au m est calculé pour une consommation annuelle de  (référence INSEE).

 Pétrole
Chuelles est située au cœur d'une zone regroupant trois communes, consacrée à l'extraction du pétrole, ce qui contribua à lui donner le nom de « Texas français ». Cette production de 40 000 t par an (4,4 % de la production nationale ) provient d'une centaine de puits s'étendant de Château-Renard à Saint-Firmin-des-Bois et plongeant à - 640 m. Le pétrole est acheminé par camions citerne vers la raffinerie de Grandpuits qui est située en Seine-et-Marne à 57 kilomètres de Paris et qui fut mise en service en 1966. La concession pour l'extraction du pétrole date de 1964 et a été renouvelée en 2011 (pour 25 ans) pour une surface exploitable de 42 km²  et 850 barils /jours pour des réserves estimées à 6,3 millions de barils. Les puits sont exploités actuellement par la société Canadienne "Vermilion". La zone ne semble pas devoir être étendue dans l'immédiat malgré quelques forages exploratoires.

 Patrimoine
 Lieux et monuments

 L'intersection du  parallèle nord et du  méridien à l'est de Greenwich se trouve sur le territoire de la commune.
 Le menhir de Chuelles, au lieu-dit La Duranterie. Autre nom : menhir de Traîne-Cul (cf. Inventaire de Francis-Cahuzac).
 Un dolmen est également signalé au sud de la Duranterie, mais il s'agit peut-être d'un seul et même monument ?

 Personnalités liées à la commune

 Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson (1767-1824), peintre français, a demeuré à Chuelles, au lieu-dit  Verger.

Lettre de Girodet à une certaine madame Robert :
 Au Bourgoin, près Montargis, 12 mai 1821 : Une autre raison qui me fait souhaiter de vous voir arriver ici prochainement, c'est que mon plan de campagne est arrangé pour aller passer le mois de juin dans ma solitude du Verger, à quatre lieues d'ici. Je ne pourrais vous y recevoir avec le même agrément qu'au Bourgoin, le Verger n'étant qu'une maison de paysan rhabillée et loin de la ville. Autographe publié par Pierre Alexandre Coupin, Œuvres posthumes de Girodet-Trioson, peintre d'histoire, suivie de sa correspondance, Paris, Renouard, 1829, tome 2, p. 347.

Lettre de Girodet à la même personne :Au Verger, ce 16 juin (1821) : Vedi Napoli, e poi Mori ! voilà ce que disent les Napolitains. C'est qu'ils n'ont pas vu le Verger dans sa parure du printemps...'' Idem, p. 349.

 Mady Moreau (1928-1995), plongeuse, vice-championne olympique, championne d'Europe et sept fois championne de France, est décédée à Chuelles.

IFSTP in conjunction with our member societies will be hosting a series of educaitonal webinars throughout the year. All IFSTP member societies are invited to participate in these webinars. Webinars are free, however, you must complete a registration form in advance of the meeting to be able to participate. Space is limited to 100 attendees and will be taken on first-come, first-serve basis.
Speaker: Thomas Steinbach, EPL Inc.
The webinar discussed the basic processes involved in collecting a sample and producing an image from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) suitable for interpretation in nonclinical studies. The talk emphasized when it is appropriate to use TEM in a nonclinical setting, how to design a protocol that incorporates TEM and the limits of TEM analysis.

This webinar provided toxicologic pathologist throughout the Asia-Pacific region with a current issues update on the design of general toxicology studies specific to the interpretation of reproductive pathology findings from two highly-regarded experts. Justin Vidal discussed the evaluation of the male reproductive system in nonhuman primates focusing on the determination of sexual maturity and common spontaneous findings. Karen Regan described how to recognize early senescent changes in female rodents. .
Safety studies of drug candidates designed to treat diseases of the retina are increasingly complex. Unlike many other organs, multiple antemortem tools are available to evaluate and monitor the effects of drug candidates on ocular morphology. Microscopic evaluation of the eye in toxicity studies must take into account multiple factors, including findings from various antemortem tests. The speaker will focus on important points for pathologists to consider when evaluating the posterior segment of the eye in drug safety studies, including route of administration, ocular fixation, immunohistochemistry, and correlation of microscopic findings with findings from antemortem tests.
Role of toxicological pathology in safety assessment of human pharmaceuticals.Safety assessment of human pharmaceuticals is a multidisciplinary challenge. Pharmacologists are involved in the discovery to find a drug for the intended target, and to check for off-target effects. General toxicologists, pharmacokineticists and pathologists are working together to describe the consequences of these effects in animal models. Translational steps are important for the prediction of the safety of the compound in humans. Important safety aspects are carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity and immunotoxicity. All these areas have an important histopathological component, and high quality reports are essential in the evaluation of these aspects. The webinar will focus on Carcinogenicity testing of human pharmaceuticals, and highlight discussions that are ongoing, especially in relation to the International Conference on Harmonization.
Este seminario es la traducción de un seminario presentado por el Dr. Jeffrey Wolf en 2012 y esta dirigido a los toxicólogos y patologos de habla hispana y cubre lo que sabemos, lo que no sabemos y para donde va el campo de la disrupcion hormonal debida a xenobioticos. Es un seminario enfocado en la ciencia de decidir que es importante en este campo.

Various pharmaceuticals drugs and environmental toxins have potential to cause neurotoxicity, which is manifested as an adverse effect on the structure and/or function of the nervous system. To screen for potential neurotoxicity in rats, a combination of techniques are used including functional observational battery (FOB), study of motor activity and histopathology. This webinar provided an overview of techniques used to detect histopathologicchanges in the central and peripheral nervous system. The speaker focused on important points to consider while designing and conducting neuropathological evaluation in rats including perfusion-fixation, collection of tissues (brain, spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia, peripheral nerves, and muscles), common embedding techniques and use of histochemical stains and immunohistochemical labels to detect histopathologicchanges.

Work for Change rents affordable space to ethical and cultural businesses in Hulme, Manchester on flexible leases. We have a long lease on a building which we helped to design, with 32 spaces including offices, studios, a cafe and a performance space.
We started out because many people in our area were running businesses from their big old flats which the council decided to demolish and build small new flats without enough space for all those other activities in them.
ICOM helped alot to get the company registered, Manchester City Council's Economic Development team helped with funding.
Part City Challenge funds (a redevelopment programme), part ERDF grant. We had a bank loan arranged with Co-op Bank but due to cost overruns we couldn't buy the building as planned from our development partner, so we ended up with a long lease.
Workspace is too expensive for small businesses.
The members are the people who rent the space so they know what they need. The members set the rents, decide on the services they want, notice what needs fixing, set policies. Part time admin staff keep the place running how the members want it. Profits are not distributed but we are building up a fund for future maintenance.
Do it! Keep the membership in control – don't start giving out titles like Chair, flat hierarchies make it clear that everyone is involved, responsible and should contribute. Have clear policies and review them regularly before everyone forgets what they are. Make sure there are clear benefits to membership to reward members contributions.

Q: My PHP nested loops use way too much memory I'm trying to program a utility that handles a large volume of data and memory is a factor.  Unfortunately each time this set of loops I have runs, it eats apx. 14MB of memory because it is executed thousands of times, even with the unset() calls (and yes I'm aware they do not clean up memory entirely, kind of why I'm asking the question).  I'm wondering if there is an easier way to do this.  Current working code:
        $qr = array();
        foreach($XML->row as $row)
        {
         $ra = array();
         foreach($row as $key => $value)
         {
         $ra[$key] = $value[0];
         unset($key,$value);
         }
        $qr[] = $ra;
        unset($row,$ra);
        }
        unset($XML);
        return $qr;

Another attempt was to do this, but it lags out.  Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
        $qr = array();
        while(list(,$row) = each($XML->row))
        {
         $ra = array();
         while(list($key,$value) = each($row))
         {
         $ra[$key] = $value[0];
         unset($key,$value);
         }
        $qr[] = $ra;
        unset($row,$ra);
        }
        unset($XML);
        return $qr;

Basically in the first loop, I'm just trying to do a basic array/object iteration.  In the 2nd loop, I'm trying to go through each array value and get the 1st element while maintaining object/array index association.  It seems I originally wrote it like this due to it being the only thing that worked (because it's looping through a SimpleXML Object).  Any tips on speeding this thing up or figuring out how to make it not eat memory would be appreciated.
I'm looking for solutions for garbage collection or more efficient code.  I do not plan on replacing SimpleXML as there is no need for it.  More clearly, I'm looking for:

*

*A way to iterate the SimpleXML object without needing to call the inner loop (which is only due to me doing $value[0].  Why is that necessary?

*A way which is more efficient (either speed or memory-wise) for iterating through the data

A: If you want to use less memory i recommend you start looking at SAX parser. Here is example. It is more difficult to develop parser with SAX but it's more efficient then SimpleXML, and you could parse big xml files with it.

A: Your memory load is high because SimpleXML loads the entire document into memory when parsing. So your unset() calls just decrement the reference count, and because the data still persists in memory it isn't freed. This is a consequence of working with SimpleXML: the benefit of which is that the document is in memory and represented as a PHP object.
If you want to reduce your memory usage, you need use something else like XMLReader or XML Parser. These are SAX-based, or event-based, which won't load the XML file into memory, but will walk the tree one element at a time. Since you don't appear to be using something like XPath this is your better choice.

A: That's not how you access data from a SimpleXML object.  I see you are using index [0] to get the string contents of each part of the object and treating it as an array.  It's not an array, it's an object.  This is how you should access string data... Example: http://php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples-basic.php#example-5095
Something like this will do the trick:
    $qr = array();
    foreach($XML->row as $row)
    {
     $ra = array();
     $ra['name'] = $value->name;
     $ra['name2'] = $value->name2;
     //Add a line for each element name, etc...

    $qr[] = $ra;
    unset($row,$ra);
    }
    unset($XML);
    return $qr;

It will also get rid of your inner loop and save you memory.

Some useful links and plenty not so useful ones.
I#ve made it back to Sydney and the ride is over. Hurrah!
My last night on the road I stayed in a place called Stanwell Park, just north of Bully. I'd planned on camping back up the escarpment in Royal National Park but I couldn't make it up the hill. 400 metres of elevation gain in just a few kilometres was too much for me and my tired legs. 14% is a difficult gradient without the extra weight I was carrying, this evening it was impossible, a sad moment.
Posted in Australia, The Final Leg | Comments Off on Turning back.
140km left to get to Sydney. One day of riding, follow parallel to the highway and I'd get there by late afternoon all going well. After all this time the finish though wasn't such an appealing prospect. Another day in the saddle seemed like a good idea, the traffic was getting heavy and I wanted to get away from it so I took some diversions. Instead I was heading east through lush greenery not north to Sydney but towards the coast and almost my doom!
Posted in Australia, New South Wales, The Final Leg | Comments Off on You did that why?
Yass, Gunning, Goulburn, Marulan. The towns ticked by as I made my was over the lumpy roads, lots of long draggy climbs followed by eye watering descents. I'm being more cautious on the downhill parts, it's only two days to Sydney and I don't want to crash now. And by cautious I mean keeping it under 80km/h. Summer is fading now, it was pretty cold, and by the time I got to a place called Marulan in the evening it was spitting rain.
The towns of Albury in NSW and Wodonga in Victoria, are just separated by the 'mighty' Murray River. It may be the lifeblood of this part of the country but it seemed anything but mighty to me. The size of the river basin it has to draw water from is mind blowing yet in Ireland there are rivers barely a fraction of its length that are far bigger. Gives some idea of the depth of the problem, the lack of water is out here.
A few days of apple picking was enough. The work was frustrating because the fruit was very small and as a result the money not too good. Not horrific like some shockers I've been told about but still not good. We had to strip all fruit from the trees but when most of the fruit you're picking is not going into the bin and instead being dropped onto the ground it feels like you're throwing money away. In addition to that nightly rain meant that we couldn't start picking until the fruit dried to prevent bruising it. The total wage worked out at about $6 per hour. Back in town, KFC were offering $19 per hour.
Next day I arrived in Shepparton and went about the task of trying to find a farm to work on. I called to the harvest agency office and they delightfully told me that there was no work! Quite contrary to the phone call yesterday morning. Your own transport is essential out here, there are no hostels and they don't collect from the camping grounds like in some other places. Still after getting phone numbers of some possibilities I pestered one woman into letting me pitch the tent at the farm.
Posted in Australia, Victoria | Comments Off on Apple picking!
After finally securing decent information about work I left Melbourne towards Shepparton about 200km straight north. It's not on the planned route to Sydney but I need work and this is where I'll secure the work to extend my visa so I can come back in the future and do the whole work/travel thing all over again. Victoria is pretty well populated so there were plenty of different routes out of the city, I was spoilt for choice.
From the Great Ocean Road I headed north through Geelong to Melbourne. I didn't stay any time in Geelong, just a quick ride into the town centre and along the waterfront before I continued on along the freeway past some pretty non-descript scenery before arriving at the city limits.
After leaving all the attractions on the Warnambool side, the road wound its way up into the Otway Mountains leaving the coast behind for a while. It's a very sudden change, one minute you're riding along windswept coastal cliffs, then you crest a hill and it becomes sheltered forest valleys. The respite from the wind was very welcome.

Where is Best to Install a Hot Tub?
Getting the location of your hot tub just right will help ensure you get years of relaxation and enjoyment. Most hot tubs and swim spas are designed for above-ground and portable installation, or in-ground, sunken installation – with a few minor modifications. Purchase your hot tub.
Hot tubs make fantastic additions to garden patios and decked areas. If you're planning to use your hot tub for a soothing soak on cold, wintry nights then think about installing it near the back door so you don't have far to run when you get out.
If you have a lot of outside space you may want to make a feature of your hot tub with a gazebo enclosure, which can also give you some privacy, depending on your requirements. Another option is having a shade sail installed, which also adds solar protection to your hot tub and other outdoor furniture.
Give some thought to the aesthetics of your hot tub and its surroundings. What will your view be when you're relaxing in the tub? Adding landscaping such as flowers, trees and potted plants or even outdoor lighting and music can really enhance the ambience. Click here for landscaping ideas.
Your hot tub and its surrounding environment can be personalised to reflect your individual style and taste. Well-positioned, sunken hot tubs can feel like a natural part of the garden.

The holiday season is upon us and that brings friends, family, food and togetherness. In this season, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life and forget the blessings we have. This year, why not start a practice of daily gratitude with your aging loved one?
It doesn't have to be a major undertaking, but starting a practice of daily gratitude with your aging loved one can have many benefits. It can help ease conversation, bring up memories of happy holiday seasons from years' past and remind us all of the shared joy.
1. Spend time together. One of the best ways to make someone feel like they matter is to give them the gift of time.
2. Write down memories and blessings from years' past. This can help us focus on the good and remember lovely memories together.
3. Create a new ritual or routine. Whether this is going through old photo albums together or meeting for ice cream sundaes, setting aside time and energy to create new memories is beneficial to everyone.
4. Do a random act of kindness together. One of the best ways to feel good about giving – and remind ourselves of our own blessings – is to bless others.
5. Try to cut out complaints and focus on the positive. When you focus on the good, it slowly shifts your outlook. A positive outlook makes it easier to be grateful.
6. Aim for three compliments a day. This dovetails on #5. Look for the good in people. Spreading positivity leads to more positivity. It's contagious!
7. Learn a new skill or teach someone one of your talents. Sharing our gifts – and being open to receiving the gifts of others – makes us grateful for our strengths.
8. Hug each other. Physical touch, especially for aging loved ones, is crucial for happiness and mental health.
At Abbington Assisted Living, we hope you had your aging loved ones have a happy and healthy holiday season.

Q: Error al crear un proyecto de grails en la version 2.5.0 un saludos cordial, soy nuevo en grails. A la hora de crear un proyecto desde GGTS me surgen estos errores, estoy usando la versión 2.5.0 de grails.
Ya intente con muchos repositorios pero ninguno sin éxito, espero me puedan compartir alguna solución, o aconsejarme cual otra versión me daría menos problemas. gracias de antemano, que tenga un excelente día.
Estos son los errores que me surgen:

|Run 'grails dependency-report' for further information.

A: Parece ser un issue.
Yo lo resolví en un proyecto en el que uso grails 2.5.6 estableciendo el siguiente código:
En BuildConfig.groovy:
    repositories {
        inherits true // Whether to inherit repository definitions from plugins

        grailsHome()
        mavenRepo url: 'https://repo.grails.org/artifactory/plugins', name: 'grailsCentral'
        mavenRepo "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"
        mavenRepo 'https://grails.jfrog.io/grails/core/'
        mavenRepo 'https://grails.jfrog.io/grails/plugins/'
        mavenRepo "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
        mavenRepo "http://repo.grails.org/grails/simple/libs-releases-local"
        mavenCentral()
    }

Lo que hace el código es definir de manera explícita las urls de los repositorios a los que debe conectarse para descargar las dependencias.
