SAPPORO - With power to most facilities restored and its sprinkler-flooded floors now clean and dry, New Chitose Airport, Hokkaido's main gateway, is slowly getting back to normal after Thursday's level 7 earthquake.
Search and rescue missions have officially ended in the rural prefecture, leaving the death toll from the magnitude 6.7 temblor at 41, central and local government officials said.
The shutdown of the Tomato-Atsuma power plant, Hokkaido's largest thermal power station, is meanwhile continuing to create serious electricity shortages throughout the prefecture. The situation is forcing companies and households to conserve power to prevent blackouts from returning.
New Chitose Airport, southeast of Sapporo, hosted many stranded passengers but managed to avoid chaos thanks to cool heads and public cooperation. Domestic and international flights had resumed by Saturday.
"On the day of the earthquake, the international terminal floor of the airport was flooded with water which came over my shoes, but it was all mopped up within five hours by staff members of the airport and a cleaning company," said Makoto Kimura, vice manager of a Lawson Inc. convenience store in the building.
"Despite the food shortage and the lack of electricity, people who came to ask questions regarding those issues were very understanding and we really tried our best to provide sufficient information," said Ayaka Kikuchi of the airport's Hokkaido Tourist Information Center.
She said the chaos was minimized and emphasized that all of the foreign tourists inside behaved with complete decorum until power was restored on Saturday and flights resumed.
The Lawson store was the only one open in the international terminal on Saturday, and its management called for extra staffers from Sapporo and even as far away as Tokyo to provide help.
But many products, such as milk and ice cream, spoiled soon after the prefecture-wide blackout began, Kimura said.
"We first had to sort out the spoilage and then restock the shelves with new products," he recalled.
With the airport's garbage disposal plant also out of commission, the spoiled products were stacked in the convenience store's eating area and blocked off with chairs.
"Food such as instant noodles, bento and rice balls sold out quickly. We wanted to serve as many people as possible, but almost everything had sold out by 2 p.m. (Saturday) and we had to close," said Kimura.
The store was still out of noodles and snacks as of Sunday, but had plenty of bottled water and other products, he said, adding that many Lawsons in Sapporo, the capital, were in the process of being resupplied, meaning the airport branch will likely be fully restocked soon.
Some countries were quick to respond to their citizens' needs.
A liaison officer from the South Korean police dispatched by the South Korean Foreign Ministry arrived at the airport on Friday to set up an emergency support booth for those stranded. Korean tourists made 639,400 visits to Hokkaido in fiscal 2017.
Yoon said he was relieved by the rush of departures.
"Eighty percent of the stranded Korean passengers departed safely yesterday (Saturday)," he said.
To facilitate their return, 11 extra South Korea-bound flights from five different airlines were added to the schedule Saturday.
While no Korean visitors were reportedly injured by the quake, the family of an 11-month-old infant who had contracted pneumonia was given priority and flew back on the earliest flight, according to the liaison officer.
Most of the Korean tourists needed assistance with language issues regarding flight announcements, quake news and the availability of food, Yoon said. "Many of them struggled with the language barrier, and the amount of food was insufficient," he noted.
Yoon said more Koreans have been attracted to Japan recently by TV shows showing Korean celebrities coming here to eat Japanese food.
"Hokkaido is one of the most popular destinations among visiting Korean tourists, probably after Osaka, with many visitors eager to eat at restaurants featured on those shows," he said.
Yip Pak Lim of Hong Kong said he was happy with the airport's quick recovery.
"I was worried if I could depart safely, but the airport seems to be operating almost as normally as other airports, so I can go home," he said while charging his phone in the lobby Sunday just ahead of his flight.
The quake, which maxed out at 7 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale, destroyed houses, ripped roads and triggered multiple landslides. Of the 40 people killed, 36 were in the town of Atsuma, where giant landslides buried several homes.
Thursday's 3:08 a.m. quake also cut power to all 2.95 million homes in Hokkaido after the Tomato-Atsuma power plant, the main power facility for the prefecture, was halted. Recovery could reportedly take more than a week, leaving Hokkaido in an unstable situation.
To save electricity, the use of air conditioners and elevators at facilities owned by the Hokkaido prefectural and Sapporo municipal governments has been restricted, with runs on Sapporo's subway and tram network also curtailed. Hokkaido Railway Co. has canceled some of its limited-express trains, including those connecting Sapporo and Asahikawa.
Amid fears that power-generation capacity won't be high enough at peak times, Hokkaido Electric Power Co. said it was considering resorting to rolling blackouts.

Press Release- Women groups demand apology from Advocate General West Bengal #Sexist

PRESS RELEASE FROM MAITREE
Date: 07th June 2013, Kolkata
We are writing to you on behalf of Maitree, a women's rights network of 60 organisations and individual activists based in West Bengal. We strongly condemn the comments made by the Advocate General of West Bengal on 4th June 2013 at the Calcutta High Court regarding the State Election Commission.
The Advocate General's comment: "The State Election Commission is behaving like a beautiful lady asking for this and that. It is making arbitrary and whimsical desires. Some unreasonable" is sexist and stereotypes women. Instead of legal arguments, the Advocate General distracts from the important political issues and tries to diminish the concerns raised by the Election Commission by resorting to trivial and unparliamentary language to attack his opponent. By doing so, the Advocate General joins a long list of public figures in the country who have made denigrating comments about women which go against the grains of equality and justice.
The comment should be examined within the larger context of increasing violation of women's rights in recent times. If the AG of a state can make such a denigrating comment about women, it sends a wrong signal to the public at large threatening the very safety and security of women. This is most unfortunate since one looks to the higher judiciary to uphold values stated in the Constitution. Thus his comment is far from being humorous as claimed by him and reinforces deep-seated gender bias. We condemn this as an affront to the dignity of a woman.
We demand public apology from him immediately.

Rights rap on West Bengal Government #FOE #FOS

– Strongest charge against Ambikesh was an 'afterthought'MONALISA CHAUDHURI, Telegraph
The state human rights commission has refused to accept the Mamata Banerjee government's justification for the arrest of Jadavpur University professor Ambikesh Mahapatra, citing depositions by top police officers to surmise that the strongest charge against him was an "afterthought".
"The commission is constrained to put it on record that it finds it difficult to accept the reasons given in the letter of the additional chief secretary for non-acceptance of the commission's recommendations," it said in a communiqué to the state government on Tuesday.
The rights commission cited two reasons for not accepting the state's argument that there was no violation of human rights in the arrest of Mahapatra, who had been first charged with outraging the modesty of a woman for circulating an Internet joke on Mamata Banerjee.
"Senior police officers, including the city police commissioner, had deposed before the commission that Mahapatra was arrested after being charged with a cognisable offence under Section 509 of the IPC. The fact that he was not arrested under Section 66A(b) of the Information Technology Act proves that this stringent section was included as an afterthought," an official of the commission said.
"It appears that his arrest came first and then the charges were slapped to put him behind bars without considering whether the alleged offence merited these charges," he added.
Justice Ashok Ganguly, the chairman of the rights commission, said circulating an Internet joke was in no way an offence that called for penal charges of the kind slapped on the chemistry professor. "It was an innocuous mail, based on characters from a movie for children (Satyajit Ray's Sonar Kella). How could the police slap such stringent charges for circulating a mail like that?" he said.
Legal experts said invoking Section 509 (intending to insult the modesty of a woman by words and gestures) was "inappropriate" in Mahapatra's case because the presumed victim never filed a complaint against him.
"According to the rule book, only a complaint in writing from the victim — in this case the chief minister — about outrage of modesty would have made him liable to be charged under Section 509. Circulation of an Internet joke with apparently nothing in it that can be construed as outraging someone's modesty is, in common knowledge, out of the purview of Section 509," a veteran lawyer said.
Sections 509 and 500 (defamation) were ultimately omitted from the police chargesheet against Mahapatra. The only charge retained against the professor was under Section 66A(b) of the Information Technology Act (electronic circulation of objectionable content).
The rights commission not only declined to accept the premise under which Mahapatra had been arrested, it also picked holes in the state's contention that the professor and his neighbour Subrata Sengupta were "rescued from an agitated mob".
"Police officers during their deposition admitted that the arrestees had been wrongfully restrained before being rescued and taken to the police station. Then why was no action taken against the people who had wrongfully restrained the duo? Instead, the victims were treated as accused and charges were drawn up against them," the commission official said.
Mahapatra said he would write to the Prime Minister's Office again about the state's attempt to justify the harassment he had to endure. "The government has made a mockery of its assurance of 'immediate redressive action' to the PMO. I will let Prime Minister Manmohan Singh know about it."
Responding to Mahapatra's previous letter, the PMO had prodded the Bengal government last December to "take necessary action" in the case. The state rejected all the recommendations of the rights commission last week.
The rights body had recommended departmental action against two police officers — Milan Kanti Das and Sanjay Biswas — for allegedly harassing Mahapatra and slapped a fine of Rs 50,000 each.
Mahapatra has pinned his hopes on Calcutta High Court, where a PIL filed by lawyer and former mayor Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharyya is scheduled for hearing in June.
The chemistry professor will not be moving court individually because he doesn't want to be away from the classroom for long. "Over the past year, I could not attend many classes because of court hearings. I don't want to miss classes anymore. Otherwise, my students will suffer," he said.

Give Maoists political prisoner status as stated by Calcutta High Court

March 22, Kolkata– "The state government must immediately withdraw the petition challenging the Calcutta High Court's decision. Political prisoner status is a democratic right and the government cannot take away this right," said Association for Protection of Democratic Rights (APDR) secretary Dhiral Sengupta.
The Calcutta High Court August 2012 had granted political prisoner status to seven Maoists including Gaur Narayan Chakraborty and tribal leader Chhatradhar Mahato, spokesperson of Maoist backed Peoples' Committee Against Police Atrocities.
The state government subsequently filed a special leave petition before the Supreme Court challenging the order. The apex court stayed the order.
The APDR also urged the Mamata Banerjee government in the state not to amend the law granting political prisoner status.
"The government should desist from lowering the dignity of the state assembly by trying to amend a law and deny a basic democratic right of people who fight for political justice. This government is behaving like the British rulers," added Sengupta.
Following the Calcutta High Court order, the union home ministry had written to the state government seeking an amendment in the West Bengal Correctional Services Act, 1992, to prevent Maoists and other militants from getting status of political prisoners.

Kanchan Chakrabarty : Kolkata, Tue Feb 19 2013,
Dissatisfied with the CID investigation into the deaths of two women of a welfare home in Gurap in Hooghly district, the Calcutta High Court today handed over the probe to the CBI.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Arun Mishra and Justice Joymalya Bagchi directed the CID to hand over documents related to the case immediately to the central investigating agency.
The order comes as a blow to the Trinamool Congress government — this is the first time during its tenure that the high court has ordered a CBI probe on a state matter.
In July last year, the body of 30-year-old Guria was found buried in the backyard of Rehabilitation Centre for Mentally Ill Persons (Women) run by NGO Dulal Smriti Samsad. Police initially took up the investigation, which was then handed over to the CID. The CID found that two other women had also died in the home earlier. The bodies were found beside the Damodar river in Jamalpur in Burdwan district.
The CID filed a chargesheet against 11 persons in connection with the killing of Guria, but remained silent on the death of the other two women — Ranjana Devi and Sunita Paswan. A PIL was filed by advocate Basabi Roychoudhury in the Calcutta High Court last year demanding a CBI probe and compensation for the family members of the victims.
During the previous hearing about a week ago, the division bench questioned the state's counsel on the findings of the CID in connection with the death of Ranjana and Sunita and asked the agency to file a report and case diary in court.
Today public prosecutor Manjit Singh placed the CID report, which did not give any details about the probe into the two deaths. After going through the report, the bench questioned Singh about several aspects of the investigation but Singh failed to reply. Singh said the investigating officer was busy dealing with some important case and he was not in Kolkata now.
At this, the division bench pulled up the CID for not giving due importance to the probe and transferred the probe to the CBI.
Advocate Subrata Mukhopadhyay, counsel of the petitioner, said the women had been tortured and raped in the home. Those who had raised their voice had been killed. The few women of the home who had given statements to the CID said that they had been raped there. But the CID did not investigate this properly, Mukhopadhyay said.
On the plea for compensation, the division bench said it would hear the matter after four weeks. Meanwhile it asked the state to explain its stand on compensation.
#DeathPenalty Doesn't Serve as Deterrent: Amartya Sen

Kolkata, Feb 7, 2013, Outlook
Amid the nationwide debate over giving rapists the death penalty, Nobel prize winning economist Amartya Sen is not in favour of capital punishment, saying it does not serve as a "deterrent" and "preventive function".Sen at the same time said today he was not against "severe punishment" in critical cases.
In an oblique reference to the Delhi gangrape case, he said, "I am not for letting them (culprits) go."
"Death sentences do not serve as a deterrent and its efficacy as a capital punishment is doubted based on empirical grounds and is not a preventive function," Sen said addressing a seminar on 'Realisation of Justice' organised by the Calcutta High Court here.
Sen said, in India, awarding of death sentences was much lower than China where it was the highest in the world.
"In India, death sentences are awarded, but not executed except for recently in the case of Mumbai attacks," he said.
"I am not against severe punishment in case of critical cases," he added.
In the course of his lecture, he also referred to the Sanskrit play Mrichhakatika (The Little Clay Cart) where Charu Datta set the criminals free instead of punishing them.
"The play showed that tit-for-tat justice does not bring well to the world in the realms of prosperity, happiness and security for all," Sen said.

Calcutta High court grants 'political prisoner' status, to seven members of PUDR

PEOPLE'S UNION FOR DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS
Calcutta High Court Judgement and Political Prisoners
The West Bengal High Court judgement of August 2012 granting 'political prisoner' status to seven members of the People's Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) clarifies and reinforces the provision of law as stipulated in West Bengal Correctional Service Act 1992 and the definition of political prisoner therein.
PUDR welcomes the judgement to the extent that it brushes aside the mystique woven by lower courts in denying the status of political prisoner to PCPA members on insubstantial grounds despite the law being vivid and clear on it. Section 24 of the West Bengal Correctional Service Act 1992 takes a broad and encompassing view of what constitutes a political offence. It includes all political and democratic movement that crusades to further social and economic justice without any personal greed or motives and despite the ideological persuasion and means or orientation towards established legal order to be political movement. Consequently, any one detained for being associated with these movements is to be political prisoner. The High Court judgement therefore brings forth the irony and contradictions of the justice delivery mechanisms in India.
The West Bengal High Court Judgement however has its own perils. The high court in its judgement refrained from striking down the category of political prisoner because the said category was not challenged on valid grounds in the legal matter before its disposal. The court found the category of political prisoner to be discriminatory and reinforcing inequality. It held that basic minimum facilities that are stipulated for the political prisoners under West Bengal Correctional Service Act 1992 shall be moderated and made accessible to all prisoners. In this concern PUDR would also like to draw attention on the colonial practice of discriminations in Indian jails, entirely based on class and various categorisations of prisoners. While the notion of equality is no doubt welcoming, HC judgment is conspicuously silent on upholding of prevalent structured inequality in Indian Jails. Secondly it would be quite disingenuous to reduce the struggle for the status of political prisoner to the notion of equal access to facilities inside prison. Contestations over status of a political prisoner or category of 'political offence and offenders' goes beyond prison entitlements. It is about defining the domain of 'legitimate' politics and diverse politics of dissent and resistance being constitutive of such domain.
The High Court Judgement in totality circumvents what it asserts in the first instance. It subverts the broader understanding political offence as defined in the West Bengal Correctional Service Act 1992 by proposing trampling of boundaries between 'political' and 'routine'/ non political offence. Following this judgement the Ministry of Home Affair, Government of India swiftly moved to direct the West Bengal Government to either consider an amendment of the West Bengal Correctional Service Act 1992 or to appeal against the high court judgment in order to prohibit the conferment of the status of political prisoners to those who question and revolt against the state. Paradoxical it may seem but overall picture around West Bengal High Court Judgement and the MHA directive represents a continuum of subverting a law- (West Bengal Correctional Service Act) 1992- with democratic potential. More so it aims at redefining the contours of the political by ironing out the politics of resistance and dissent.
PUDR demands:
1. That the provision of West Bengal Correctional Service Act 1992 be adhered to and implemented in right spirit rather than cultivating pretext for its subversion.
2. That overall living conditions inside prison be made just and humane and rights of prisoners be upheld rather than simply juxtaposing and inducing unsubstantiated contradiction with privileges of political prisoners.
3. Release all political prisoners and initiate dialogue with them to comprehend and redress the fundamental causes of political unrest.

До нагородження орденом Леніна за трудові заслуги могли бути представлені, як правило, особи, самовіддана праця яких раніше була відмічена іншими орденами. Орден Леніна вручався особам, удостоєним звання Героя Радянського Союзу, звання Героя Соціалістичної Праці, а також містам і фортецям, яким присвоєно відповідно звання «Місто-Герой» і звання «Фортеця-Герой».

Історія ордена
Орден Леніна — вищий радянський орден, що займає в орденській ієрархії верхній ступінь. Заснований до Другої світової війни, орден Леніна неодноразово видозмінювався. Ідея створення цього ордена була запропонована Левічевим В. М. 8 липня 1926 року. Орден спочатку запропоновано було назвати «Орден Ілліча».

У створенні проекту ордена брали участь художник І. Дубасов і відомий скульптор І. Д. Шадр. Основою для створення рельєфного зображення вождя на знаку ордена стала фотографія Леніна, виконана в 1921 році на III конгресі Комінтерну. У 1934 році роботу по зміні малюнка ордена проводив медальєр Антон Васютинський.

Перші вручення ордена

Перше нагородження орденом Леніна було проведене Постановою Президії ЦВК від 23 травня 1930 року. Згідно з цією Постановою орденом Леніна № 1 нагороджена газета «Комсомольская правда» за активне сприяння в посиленні темпів соціалістичного будівництва і у зв'язку з п'ятиліттям з дня заснування.

Постановою ЦВК СРСР від 23 листопада 1930 року орденом Леніна був нагороджений Борис Анисимович Ройзенман «в ознаменування виняткових заслуг в справі поліпшення і спрощення державного апарату, пристосування його до завдань розгорненого соціалістичного наступу, в боротьбі з бюрократизмом, безгосподарністю і безвідповідальністю в радянських і господарських організаціях, а також його заслуг по виконанню спеціальних, персоною державної ваги завдань по чищенню державного апарату в закордонних представництвах Союзу РСР».

Одне з перших колективних нагороджень орденом Леніна відбулося згідно з постановою Президії ЦВК СРСР від 28 лютого 1931 року. За особливі заслуги в соціалістичному будівництві були нагороджені начальник головних електротехнічних майстерень Московсько-курської залізниці Сидоров С. С., майстер-висуванець механічних майстерень московського електрозаводу Грачков І. В., слюсар фабрики «Штучне волокно» (Митищі) Високолов А. С. і директор заводу «Самоточка» Паджаев-Баранов І. К.

31 березня 1931 року вийшла Постанова ЦВК СРСР «Про нагородження орденом Леніна об'єднань нафтової промисловості "Азнафта", "Грознафта" і окремих працівників нафтової промисловості у зв'язку з виконанням ними п'ятирічного плану в два з половиною роки».
 По «Азнафті» було нагороджено 55 чоловік. Першими в списку стояли прізвища Алі-Нагієва, В. І. Лампера, Амбарцума Саркисова і М. В. Барінова. У числі нагороджених по «Азнафті» під номером п'ять був і Сергій Миронович Кіров, що отримав орден Леніна з номером 52. Під номером сім у списку стояло прізвище Костянтина Андрійовича Румянцева — одного з керівників нафтової промисловості Азербайджану, що отримав орден з номером 160 за уміле керівництво будівництвом нафтопроводу Батумі — Баку і за відновлення нафтових промислів та організацію видобутку нафти у першій п'ятирічці.
 По «Грознафті» були нагороджені 35 співробітників, що особливо відрізнилися, і відкривали список прізвища С. М. Ганшина, Ф. П. Чамрова, О. М. Школяра і І. В. Коссіора.

За самовіддану, швидку і героїчну роботу в справі ліквідації пожежі на майкопських нафтових промислах Постановою Президії ЦВК СРСР від 9 квітня 1931 року орденом Леніна були нагороджені 15 робітників, червоноармійців, командирів, пожежників і осіб адміністративно-технічного персоналу.

Цього ж дня, 9 квітня, світ побачила ще одна Постанова про нагородження орденом Леніна «Електрозаводу» і працівників цього заводу у зв'язку з виконанням п'ятирічного плану за два з половиною роки. Всього було нагороджено 15 чоловік, зокрема директор заводу Жуков, колишній директор заводу Булганін, інженери прожекторного відділу заводу Собольов і Рябов, майстер корпусу великих трансформаторів Утцаль.

Всього через сім днів — 16 квітня — вийшли ще дві Постанови про нагородження підприємств і їх працівників за виконання п'ятирічного плану за два з половиною роки. Першою Постановою нагороджувався завод «Червона Зоря», а також його директор Іванов і головний інженер Льовієв. Другим Указом нагороджувався завод «Світлана», а також помічниця головного контролера виробництва Алексєєва, робітники Петров і Колесникова.

18 квітня вийшло доповнення до Постанови від 9 квітня (про нагородження тих, що відзначилися при гасінні пожежі на майкопських нафтових промислах). Згідно з цим доповненням орден Леніна отримали ще двоє героїв — І. В. Казанов і Ф. Н. Панін.

Постановою Президії ЦВК СРСР від 17 травня 1931 року орденом Леніна була нагороджена велика група працівників залізничного транспорту та окремих ударників і винахідників інших галузей народного господарства. У числі інших високою нагородою були відмічені артільний староста станції Ясиновата Мишин М. В., машиніст депо станції Зима Томської залізниці Василенко І. Ф. і інструктор по автогальмах Жовтневої залізниці Павлов Н. П.

М., а також герої перших п'ятирічок шахтар Олексій Стаханов, машиніст локомотива Петро Кривонос, трудівники сільського господарства Марія Демченко, Мамлакат Нахангова, Марк Озерний та інші.

Подальші нагороди
Після встановлення 16 квітня 1934 року звання Героя Радянського Союзу, орден Леніна став вручатися всім, що отримали це почесне звання. Оскільки медаль «Золота Зірка» була установлена лише в 1939 році, орден Леніна був єдиною відзнакою для Героїв Радянського Союзу. Після встановлення Золотої Зірки Героя, разом з нею автоматично продовжував видаватися орден Леніна.

Орден Леніна отримали 95 чоловік, що відзначилися в боях біля озера Хасан (Указ від 25 жовтня 1938 року).

Багато промислових підприємств також було удостоєно вищого ордена країни. Це такі гіганти, як нафтовидобувні об'єднання «Азнафта» і «Грознафта», тракторні заводи в Сталінграді, Харкові і Челябінську, Горьківський і Мінський автозаводи та інші.

У 30-х роках орденами Леніна нагороджувалися військові частини і підрозділи. У 1932 році орденом Леніна нагороджена 25-а стрілецька дивізія імені В. І. Чапаєва «за героїчні подвиги в соціалістичному будівництві і відмінні успіхи в бойовій і політичній підготовці». Цього ж року орденом Леніна нагороджена 23-а стрілецька дивізія «за активну участь в будівництві ХТЗ (Харківський тракторний завод) і трудовий героїзм особового складу».

1934 року орденом Леніна нагороджена 30-та Іркутська імені ВЦВК стрілецька дивізія. Орден до прапора дивізії прикріпив особисто Михайло Калінін.

1935 року орденом Леніна була нагороджена 44-а кавалерійська дивізія першої кінної армії. Георгій Жуков, що командував тоді 44-й кавдивізією, також був нагороджений орденом Леніна.

У 1935—1936 роках орденами Леніна були нагороджені 1-а, 45-а, 51-а, 80-а, 96-а й інші дивізії.

За участь в розгромі японських підрозділів на річці Халхин-Гол літом 1939 року орденами Леніна були нагороджені 36-а мотострілецька дивізія комбрига Петрова, 11-а танкова бригада комбрига Яковлєва, 7-а мотоброньова бригада майора Лісового, 100-а швидкісна бомбардувальна авіаційна бригада полковника Шевченка, 24-й мотострілецький полк полковника Федюнінського, 175-й артилерійський полк полковника Полянського, окремий протитанковий дивізіон 36-ї мотострілецької дивізії і окрема танкова рота спеціального призначення.

До війни орденів Леніна були удостоєні Військово-повітряна інженерна академія імені М. Є. Жуковського і Військова академія імені М. В. Фрунзе.

Усього до німецько-радянської війни кавалерами ордена Леніна стали близько 6500 чоловік (включаючи Героїв Радянського Союзу і Героїв Соціалістичної Праці).

Нагороди у війну
22 червня 1941 року розпочалася німецько-радянська війна. Першими, хто надав відсіч агресорам, були прикордонники. Воїни 98-го прикордонного загону політрук Бабенко Ф. Т. (8-а застава) і лейтенант Гусєв Ф. І. (командир 9-ї застави) одними з перших здійснили подвиги, згодом відмічені орденами Леніна.

У серпні — вересні 1941 року відзначився в боях при обороні Києва екіпаж канонерського човна «Вірний» (Дніпровський загін Пінської військової флотилії). Екіпаж канонерки зруйнував Печкинській міст і зірвав переправу німецьких військ на окуніновський плацдарм. При виконанні завдання загинули командир корабля старший лейтенант Терьохін А. Ф. і боцман старшина І статті Щербина Л. С. Обох героїв посмертно нагороджено орденами Леніна.

Орденом Леніна нагороджувалися в роки війни і військово-навчальні заклади за підготовку командних кадрів. Наприклад, 1-е Київське Червонопрапорне артилерійське училище імені С. М. Кірова у травні 1945 року удостоєно ордена Леніна. За роки німецько-радянської війни училище підготувало понад 6 тисяч офіцерів.

У роки німецько-радянської війни орденом Леніна здійснено понад 41 тисяч нагороджень, зокрема 36 тисяч військовослужбовців і партизанів, які виявили мужність і героїзм у боротьбі з ворогом та 207 військових підрозділів.

Повоєнні нагороди
Починаючи з 4 червня 1944 року і до 14 вересня 1957 року, орден Леніна вручався офіцерам за вислугу років (25 років бездоганної служби). Також, з початку 50-х років орден Леніна могли отримати і цивільні особи за довготривалу і плідну працю. Це спричинило те, що за останні 40 років існування СРСР орден Леніна був вручений більше 360 тисяч разів.

Орденом Леніна нагороджувалися практично всі радянські керівники вищого рангу. Багато із зарубіжних діячів комуністичного руху, таких як Георгій Дімітров (Болгарія), Густав Гусак (Чехословаччина), Янош Кадар (Угорщина), Долорес Ібаррурі (Іспанія), Хо Ші Мін (В'єтнам), Вальтер Ульбріхт (НДР), Фідель Кастро (Куба) та інші, отримали орден Леніна.

Орденом Леніна нагороджувалися всі Радянські республіки, причому деякі неодноразово. Так три ордени Леніна мали Азербайджанська РСР (1935, 1964, 1980 рр.), Вірменська РСР (1958, 1968, 1978 рр.), Казахська РСР (1956, 1979, 1982 рр.), Узбецька РСР (1939, 1956, 1980 рр.).

Двадцять автономних республік, 8 автономних областей, 6 країв, більше 100 областей і деяких міст нагороджено орденом Леніна. По два ордени Леніна мають Москва (1947, 1965 рр.), Ленінград (1945, 1957 рр.), Київ (1954, 1961 рр.) і деякі інші міста. Московська область має три ордени Леніна (1934, 1956, 1966 рр.).

Більше 380 промислових і будівельних підприємств і близько 180 сільськогосподарських підприємств і організацій удостоїлися цієї нагороди. Багато підприємств нагороджувалися орденом Леніна неодноразово. Наприклад, трьома орденами Леніна нагороджений Московський автомобільний завод ім. Ліхачова — ЗІЛ (1942, 1949, 1971 рр.).

Найкрупнішим об'єднанням військових частин, відмічених цим орденом, був Московський ордена Леніна військовий округ.

9 серпня 1959 року Київський державний університет ім. Т. Г. Шевченка отримав Орден Леніна

Указом Президії Верховної Ради СРСР від 21 лютого 1972 року орденом Леніна № 401149 нагороджений Державний Історичний музей (місто Москва) «за велику роботу по комуністичному вихованню трудящих, значний внесок у розвиток історичної науки і у зв'язку з 100-літтям з дня заснування».

Ленінський комсомол був нагороджений трьома орденами Леніна.

Останні нагороди
Останнім спортсменом, нагородженим орденом Леніна, став заслужений майстер спорту Володимир Олександрович Каратаєв. Він був удостоєний високої нагороди за організацію і участь в експедиції по сходженню на вершину Лхоцзе по Південній стіні в Непалі.

Одні з останніх орденів Леніна в історії СРСР були вручені Указом Президента СРСР Арону Піневічу Шапіро — Генеральному директорові ВО «Бурятмеблі» (за вдосконалення меблево-деревообробного виробництва) і Умірзаку Махмутовічу Султангазіну — Президентові Академії наук Казахстану (за використання досягнень в космосі на користь народного господарства і активну участь в підготовці і здійсненні польоту космічного корабля «Союз ТМ-13» з міжнародним екіпажем на борту).

Останнім в історії кавалером ордена Леніна став водолазний спеціаліст капітан ІІІ-го рангу Леонід Михайлович Солодков, якому Указом Президента СРСР №VII-3158 від 24 грудня 1991 року «за успішне виконання спеціального завдання командування і проявлені при цьому мужність та героїзм» були присвоєні звання Героя Радянського Союзу з врученням медалі «Золота Зірка» № 11664 та ордена Леніна № 460776.

За станом на 1 січня 1995 року було здійснено 431 417 нагороджень орденом Леніна. З урахуванням одного нагородження, зробленого в 1996 році, загальне число нагороджень орденом Леніна склало 431 418.

Рекордсмени
Цілий ряд радянських військовослужбовців вищого рангу були нагороджені орденом Леніна кілька разів. Так, вісім орденів Леніна мали Маршали Радянського Союзу Баграмян І. Х., Брежнєв Л. І., Будьонний С. М., Василевський О. М., Соколовський В. Д., генерал армії Батов П. І., академіки Туполєв А. М., Лисенко Т. Д., Ільюшин С. В., голова Ради Міністрів СРСР Тихонов М. О.

Дев'ять орденів Леніна мали Маршал Радянського Союзу Чуйков В. І., полярник Папанін І. Д., генерал-полковники-інженери Дементьєв П. В. (міністр авіаційної промисловості) і Рябіков В. М. (1-й заступник голови Держплану СРСР).

Десять орденів Леніна прикрашали груди академіка Александрова А. П. і авіаконструктора Яковлєва О. С.

Одинадцять разів ордена Леніна був удостоєний Маршал Радянського Союзу Дмитро Федорович Устинов.

Рекордсменом за кількістю нагороджень став Микола Семенович Патоличев (міністр зовнішньої торгівлі СРСР з 1958 до 1985 року), який мав дванадцять орденів Леніна.

Scuola di cucina "Il Melograno" | Tutti in cucina!
Let's meet in the kitchen!
Approach the culinary arts as a beginner, polish up your kitchen skills, find time to cultivate your passion for food and enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere as if you were in your own kitchen.
All this and more is what you'll find at Romana Bosco's "Il Melograno", one of the first Italian cookery schools, a school she established in Torino and has helped flourish over the years with a loyal following of food lovers: from sophisticated home-makers to men learning cookery basics, to eager teenagers and children.
All the lessons are based on healthy, well-balanced cuisine, perfect for everyday cooking, but the course programme also offers more elaborate and sophisticated recipes with an eye for new food trends. This is why classes range from basic courses, repeated on a yearly basis, to ever changing thematic courses that keep up with new, evolving taste trends, to workshops on specific topics.
Each lesson is an opportunity to improve, each encounter becomes a dynamic exchange, each new dish is a mouth watering revelation, and all lessons obviously close with a tasting session!

November 6, 1991 started as a relatively ordinary night for astronomer James Scotti. While working at the University of Arizona's Kitt Peak telescope, Scotti was looking at the cosmos for asteroids when he discovered a minor, fast moving object with extremely strange features. Just 10 meters in diameter, the object showed a strange rate of rotation, fluctuations in brightness and speed for its mass and size, signifying that it was something other than your "run-of-the-mill" central belt asteroid. Another strange thing about this object was its heliocentric orbit unusually similar to that of Earth. Scotti traced the object, now recognized as 1991 VG, for the next two upcoming nights and just after he had enough data to plot a its initial orbit, he was astounded to find that the object would be fleeting within nearly .003 au (280,000 miles) of Earth the following month. Although asteroids fleeting through Earth's neighborhood are definitely no uncommonness, they also tend not to last very long as they are likely to strike the planet or be flung into a different orbit when they pass by.
Scotti, in contrast, has not completely ruled out a natural origin for this unknown object. According to him, 1991 VG showed rare variations in brightness, which proposed that the object was spinning very quickly with just a few minutes from peak to peak. An astronomical (asteroid or something like that) object as small as 1991 VG, a rotation period of just a few minutes, while infrequent, is not completely impossible but very, very rare.
So the good thing is that we don't have to wait very long to solve the mystery of 1991 VG. 1991 VG is once again making a close pass in the summer of 2017, but it will be far from Earth than in 1991 and only observable from the Southern Hemisphere.
One thing to be mentioned here (again), there's always the chance that it's a responsive alien probe, in which situation we should perhaps start getting prepared for the invasion.

In the game of the CD packaging, the score is now: environmentalists 1, record retailers 0. After years of intensifying pressure from ecological activists, artists, and consumers, the recording industry has vowed to scrap the larger packages in which most compact discs are sold. By April 1993, CDs will no longer come wrapped in the oversize cardboard "longboxes" most people promptly throw away. No single design has been chosen to replace the longbox, but the new packages cannot be larger than a jewel box, a hard plastic container that comes inside longboxes now.


I'm using UE4.01 to allow users to upload their on photos into their own directory. I want to prevent images above a certain Pixel Width being uploaded.
The point of this is to minimise my bandwidth utilisation from users uploading large digital camera photos, as they are likely to be in excess of few MB.
I realise i could ask the host administrator to change the file size upload limit in the php.ini file, but this could be more a more flexible and page friendly solution if existed.
Can this system validate the image dims for Width & Height?
If so, what's my approach please?

Q: SparkSQL Aggregator: MissingRequirementError I am trying to use Apache Spark's 2.0 Datasets:
import org.apache.spark.sql.expressions.Aggregator
import org.apache.spark.sql.Encoder
import spark.implicits._

case class C1(f1: String, f2: String, f3: String, f4: String, f5: Double)

val teams = Seq(
  C1("hash1", "NLC", "Cubs", "2016-01-23", 3253.21),
  C1("hash1", "NLC", "Cubs", "2014-01-23", 353.88),
  C1("hash3", "NLW", "Dodgers", "2013-08-15", 4322.12),
  C1("hash4", "NLE", "Red Sox", "2010-03-14", 10283.72)
).toDS()

val c1Agg = new Aggregator[C1, Seq[C1], Seq[C1]]  with Serializable {
  def zero: Seq[C1] = Seq.empty[C1] //Nil
  def reduce(b: Seq[C1], a: C1): Seq[C1] = b :+ a
  def merge(b1: Seq[C1], b2: Seq[C1]): Seq[C1] = b1 ++ b2
  def finish(r: Seq[C1]): Seq[C1] = r

  override def bufferEncoder: Encoder[Seq[C1]] = newProductSeqEncoder[C1]
  override def outputEncoder: Encoder[Seq[C1]] = newProductSeqEncoder[C1]
}.toColumn

val g_c1 = teams.groupByKey(_.f1).agg(c1Agg).collect

But then when I run it I got the following error message:

scala.reflect.internal.MissingRequirementError: class lineb4c2bb72bf6e417e9975d1a65602aec912.$read in JavaMirror with sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@14dad5dc of type class sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader with class path [OMITTED] not found

I am assuming the configuration is correct because I am running under Databricks community cloud.

A: I was finally able to make it work by using ExpressionEncoder() rather than newProductSeqEncoder[C1] in lines 20, 21.
(Not sure why the previous code did not work though.)

What is a Home Purification Treatment?
Home Purification Treatment uses an ozone generator, producing high levels of nitric oxide free ozone, to cleanse indoor air. Home Purification Treatment eliminates or greatly reduces indoor air quality problems including mould, fungi, yeast, bacteria, viruses, dust mites, smoke, chemical smells from carpets and new construction, pet odours, and many other common odours. Medallion Healthy Homes, Home Purification Treatment technology ensures the safety of our technicians and – most importantly – the safety of you and your family.
[home-air-family] Live in a healthy environment Home Purification Treatment is the only complete therapy for many common types of indoor air pollution. Mechanical cleaning of heating and air conditioning ducts can help to some extent, but often its main effect is simply to stir up dust that was formerly trapped in the ducts, causing it to be dispersed throughout the house when the unit is switched back on. Cleaning carpets may also be helpful, but that does nothing to clean the air itself, nor does it kill the odour-causing germs that may continue to linger in other "soft" surfaces such as furniture, curtains, clothing, etc. In fact, "wet" carpet cleaning techniques may actually promote the growth of mould and mildew if the carpet is not dried thoroughly after cleaning!
The only cleaning solution that can reach all parts of your home, including the air you breathe, is one that works through the air itself. The only airborne cleaning technique that can effectively combat the full spectrum of odours, germs, toxic chemicals, and other indoor air pollution – then quickly disperse leaving no tell-tale odour of its own behind – is ozone. Medallion Healthy Homes Home Purification Treatment technology can help you and your family gain the benefits of a Healthy Home Now!
The EPA & Health Canada has stated that today's homes contain an estimated 1,500 hazardous compounds from approximately 3,000 man-made products. Even low levels of pollutants emitted by these products can affect human health over a period of months or years. Modern construction, our desire for more efficient homes, the resulting over-insulating and under ventilating of our homes have given rise to an explosion of moulds and mildews, as well as other fungi, which are the cause of the swelling epidemic known as Sick Building Syndrome.
Now there is a solution to this modern day dilemma. We offer one of the safest and effective methodologies for purifying a home of foul odours, allergens, airborne mould spores, mildew, dust mites, VOC's, and other toxins that may be polluting your indoor environment. Our Purification Treatment will ensure that the air you breathe in your home or workplace is clean and healthy. Call us today to book an appointment or find out more.

Featured: The Varied Work of Olivié Keck
Written by Layla Leiman on Oct 9, 2014 in Art, Featured, Illustration
Olivié Keck is a print maker who also works in embroidery, ink, installation, sculpture, and drawing. She's also a professional illustrator on the side. Looking at her work, the common theme appears to be variety. But within this experimentation is a careful consideration – of these myriad mediums so that they're by no means frivolous, and the honing and refining of ideas and concepts.
In her illustration work, Olivié works by the motto 'If in doubt, just do it loud'. The result is, well, bold, but also playful, humorous, and when in colour, delightfully bright. Olivié's False Priest exhibition is currently on at Commune. 1, which is an intimate exploration of the function of memory, dreams and sleep in our formation and distinction of 'Self'.
Have you always known that you wanted to be an artist, or has it been a journey of finding your way here?
I don't think you ever really 'know' anything for sure; I'm not a Certainty Freak unfortunately. Nevertheless, getting up in the morning demands making choices. Looking back, I must be happy about the choices I've made, because I keep making them and people keep encouraging me to make them. I respond to the world in a pictorial way, all of the conversations in my head contain a visual; it's just the way I'm wired. Making sense of the world is a challenge for me, but I accept this challenge and label it 'ART'.
You describe yourself as a practicing fine artist and a freelance illustrator. Where do you draw the distinction between these two roles, and these two fields, both personally and in general?
They are both equal in their own right and satisfy different parts of my aesthetic. They exist along side each other and are both unashamedly 'O.K'. In general, the most defining distinction between these two fields is probably cost and time. Maybe people see illustration as less important? Personally I think that's just a weird institutional hangover. However, if this is the general belief, then I own the task of being subtly subversive; 'high brow' and 'low brow' at the same time – makes me feel like Punch at a party – you never know what you're gonna' get!
You're a qualified printmaker however are not bound to that (or any other) medium. Please tell us a little about some of your favourite mediums, and why you enjoy working across such a wide variety as you do?
My current show 'False Priest' contains a lot of printmaking techniques on fabric. I enjoy the versatility of it and the varied visual you can achieve with different processes, and it's pretty niche – I like that. However, yes, I don't like to marry myself to any one medium. I like to think of the medium as a malleable means to an end. For this show I wanted to explore 'narrative and storytelling pertaining to the notion of humanness' and that's why I chose to work with traditional techniques of hand-embroidery and quilting. The works have got a domestic feel and I like that about them – Being Human is deeply personal and I wanted the medium to invoke that sentiment. It's not about a wayward attempt to try everything; it's about wanting to visualize a thought and letting the thought denote the form. I hate the idea of wanting to make a sculpture, but you only allow yourself to make paintings, so you don't make it because it's outside your 'framework'… that's such a shame. I also don't like the idea of being a 'project manager', so whatever the medium, I like to be hands-on, not outsourcing!
The After Party
Your illustrations bare a similar semblance of experimentation, in terms of style and inspiration. Please tell us more about this work and the influences you draw inspiration from, as well as your different techniques…
My illustration work is full of moments I absorb in the world around me – the produce of a quizzical sponge. When I'm working on an illustration it can be anything. It's relatively free. That's what I like about drawing; it's not definitely anything. It's a glorious exercise and the lack of expectation is a playground for bottomless inspiration. An illustration can spring from something as inconspicuous as a phrase that someone says, which sparks a visual. A Bad Film or a Good Book – it's a very dizzy thing. Illustration style? My personal preference is towards bright, bold and effortlessly skew. My motto is "If in doubt, just do it Loud."
Is there an overlap between your fine art practice and your illustration work?
I borrow from both fields all the time. It's the same brain at work; it would be impossible to prevent cross-pollination. Obviously, when I'm working on a body of pieces I have to commit to that large-scale idea and there has to be a distinct progression of thought. Therefore, in a Solo Show (i.e. False Priest) scenario I have to be more patient and tender with the subject and I often have to work in mediums that require a different skill set from my illustration work.
Which is more rewarding for you, the creative process itself, or the final completed work?
I enjoy the 'creative process' because in that moment the work is private, it's a personal conversation- a 'Raison d'Etre' between myself and the things I am making. In those moments of making 'the work' is everything to me and I like the sense of responsibility I feel towards finishing it. Once it is complete, I hide it away and much later I can enjoy it as an object with a life of its own.
Can you please tell us about your show False Priest, currently on at Commune. 1 – Where does the title comes from, what themes and subjects are you exploring, and how…
The title 'False Priest' refers to the name I have given to 'the narrator/voice of the human mind' in the show. It is not intended to be read as a religious title, but rather the embodiment of what the word 'Priest' implies– an authority who catharts on matters of the unknown. Each work is essentially a tale about existing. It attempts to look at the function of memory, dreams, sleep and how these aspects of our 'Self' inform our distinction as individuals in the world. I tried to investigate/ incorporate a rich human history of 'narratives' that comfort us and allow us to exist outside of our mortal limitations.
Lost in the Light II
Lost in the Light I
Living with the Living, and Dying with the Dead
What role does humour and narrative play in your work?
I think 'subversive wit' is a powerful tool in ART. I like to think I wheeled it as a weapon against all the hardness in the world. I think it's a great way to reach people. It's like saying 'I acknowledge life is hard, you're damaged, I'm damaged, but maybe let's make something joyful in this moment we exist in, even if it is just a story we tell ourselves.' Narrative is a vital part of being human in my opinion. My work is pretty much hinged on this belief in the power of storytelling. The Epic Story of Human Ambiguity and the nuanced tales that inform our justification for 'truth' and 'meaning'…
What are you reading, watching, listening to right now?
At the moment I'm reading Leonard Cohen's book of poems entitled ' The Book of Longing' – I love the brutal vitality of his words. I'm watching The Rape of Europa about The Nazi's stolen art collection- very juicy. I'm listening to The Doors, Air and Real Estate, and the online Podcast from NYC Public Radio called 'Stuff You Should Know'.
What can we look forward to seeing from you soon?
I will be having an illustration show (Open Studio) in December, and hopefully some group shows to follow in the new year.

Here you will find the workarounds to fix System Restore Error 80042308 in Windows 10. This stop code commonly appears when users make an attempt to generate a restore point. Bad sectors on the hard drive or VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) are the root cause of this issue moreover some other factors are equally responsible.
4) Third-party security software changing permission.
In this concern, you may like to know How to Check if Your Computer's Hard Disk Drive is Bad.
Most of the time, restore points errors are often caused by the hard disk. So, the first workaround is to perform an HDD scan. To do so pursue the given steps.
Step 1 – Open elevated Command Prompt to fix System Restore Error 80042308. Type cmd on Cortana and jointly press "Ctrl + Shift + Enter" keys to launch the application with admin authorities.
Step 2 – If you come across UAC prompt, click Yes to proceed to the next step.
Step 3 – Type in or copy-paste the given command in the black panel (as shown in the below image) and press Enter to execute it.
Step 4 – Wait for the scan to complete and verify if you still see the error while trying to create a restore point. If this solution doesn't bring any relief, try out the next one.
Read our full guide on this solution here – How to Check Faulty Drives with Chkdsk in Windows 10.
You may also see this error if the targeted drive is running short of space. First of all, ensure that System Protection is enabled for that specific drive. Moving ahead, check that the drive has enough space for system restore. However, the disk should have minimum space of 300 MB for the restore to happen successfully.
For reference, follow How to Check How much Hard Disk You have on Windows 10 PC.
Sometimes, the previously restored points also lead to System Restore Error 80042308 on Windows 10. So, it is suggested that you clear the previous restore points first.
Step 1 – Open System Properties by typing sysdm.cpl on Cortana text box. Select the same command sysdm.cpl that the digital assistant shows under Best match.
Step 2 – Shift to System Protection tab, choose the drives that have system protection On and then click on Configure button (see screenshot).
Step 3 – Here, ensure that "Turn on system protection" is selected. Moving ahead, click Delete button to clear the restore points you have created earlier.
Step 4 – If you notice a confirmation prompt, click Continue.
A corrupted Volume Shadow Copy can also be the culprit of this error. Hence, the promising workaround is to restart the service.
Step 1 – Type services on Cortana and press Enter to launch Services snap-in.
Step 2 – Here, locate the service namely Volume Shadow Copy. Once you see it, execute a right-click on it and select Stop.
Step 3 – After doing so, again right-click the same service and this time click Start.
Note – Also, make sure that the Startup type of VSS should be set as Manual. Moreover, Service status should be Running.
Step 4 – Lastly, close Services snap-in and this should resolve System Restore Error 80042308 on your Windows 10 PC.
If you are using any third-party software solution, then there are chances for the antivirus to change the permissions. Hence, you should either disable or uninstall the software and then give a shot to system restore. This should bypass System Restore Error 80042308 in Windows 10.
Hopefully, with any of the above solutions, you will be able to settle System Restore Error 80042308 in Windows 10. Though there are various causes of this error note but the above three mentioned are the promising solutions that resolve the issue pretty much easily. If you have more workarounds for this specific problem, do write them to us.


An inn with a restaurant and a farm re-creates Italy--in Mendocino.
Touring his garden, Luciano Zamboni bent down to gather up the stalks of a bushy cardoon. We had examined a hedge of silvery artichoke plants, very similar in appearance to the cardoon but with spiky purple buds. And we'd already surveyed the herb gardens that hug the house and the boxed-in beds of red and white chard, puntarella chicory, two kinds of arugula, three kinds of radicchio, squashes with orange blossoms, fava beans, peas and potatoes.
We were discussing the celery-like cardoon. "This plant is ready to be tied," Zamboni told me, "so the inner stalks will blanch. In the winter, I'll make a gratin or deep-fry them or sauté them with onions and tomatoes. So delicious."
The Zamboni compound, a manicured, almost self-sustaining farm with vegetable beds, fruit trees, bird coops, animal pens and free-ranging herds, is not, as one would expect, in the Roman countryside but is a 3 1/2-hour drive north of San Francisco on the Mendocino coast via some of the most beautiful roads in the world. In this isolated spot, Pauline and Luciano Zamboni operate the Victorian Gardens, a four-room inn with a 16-seat dining room surrounded by 92 acres of grazing land.
Interrupting our conversation, two asses brayed with astounding volume, while sheep grazed nearby. Roosters and guinea fowl shrieked; an undertone of cooing emanated from a dovecote. We admired a baby lamb, and the talk turned to coratella--a sauté of lungs, spleen, heart and liver in olive oil with onions and sliced Roman artichokes. "You wouldn't believe how good it is," Zamboni said. I would, and told him I'd drive right up the next time he killed a lamb.
I'd go to Victorian Gardens not only for this rarely prepared Roman delicacy but also to walk on the deserted miles-long beach and to be surrounded by the Zamboni sensibility, which plays off the stunning natural setting. Every window in the inn frames a tableau: a sharp horizontal of silvery ocean topped by a billow of fog with a cypress on one side; a glimpse of the veranda with a bent-golden-willow chair, a riot of purple, orange and white in a flower bed and a donkey couple nibbling.
Luciano Zamboni, born in Rome, is a doctor who rose to become chairman of the Department of Pathology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Like every Roman I know, he's crazy about cooking. His wife, Pauline, a former urban planner, was the director of capital projects at UCLA. They entertained often at their home in Los Angeles and had a wood-burning oven built in their backyard. He dreamed of opening a private restaurant in their house.
Ten years ago, the Zambonis bought Victorian Gardens, and five years later, after an inspired restoration, they opened for business without advertising, depending on word of mouth. Every evening, at 7:30 sharp, guests assemble for an aperitivo and then dinner at a table set with Zamboni family linen, delicately etched wineglasses and heirloom silverware. The meal unfolds traditionally--antipasto, first course, meat or fish with three contorni (vegetable side dishes), salad from the garden, dessert always made by Pauline, and coffee, tea and spirits. Many glasses of wine are poured. Three hours later, those spending the night climb the stairs and crawl between thick, old-fashioned sheets under hand-crocheted bedspreads.

Accepted name: Dendrochilum pachyphyllum J.J.Wood & A.L.Lamb in J.J.Wood & P.J.Cribb, Check-list Orchids Borneo: 189 (1994)
Subgenus – Platyclinis. Section – Platyclinis.
The whole plant
1200-2000 metres
Jeffrey Wood wrote that this species is found in mixed hill dipterocarp forest and lower montane forest on mossy sandstone and rocky shale banks along roadsides.
Dendrochilum pachyphyllum has been recorded from Sabah on Mount Alab and in the Sipitang District along the Long Pa Sia to Long Samado trail and near the Malabid River crossing.
In Sarawak a collection has been made in the Limbang District on the route from Ulu Sungai Limbang to Batu Buli.
This species is an epiphyte and occasional terrestrial. The pseudobulbs are crowded along the rhizome and shaped oblong-elliptic to narrowly fusiform. The pseudobulbs measure 0.7-1.2cm long and 0.3-0.5cm in diameter. The pseudobulbs are covered by three cataphylls while they are growing. The cataphylls disintegrate into persistent fibres as the pseudobulbs mature. The leaves are petiolate; the petiole measures 0.6-1.3cm long. The leaf blades are shaped narrowly linear-elliptic and have acute apices. The leaf blades measure 2-7cm long and 0.3-0.6cm wide. The leaves are thick, fleshy and have three distinct nerves.
The inflorescence is synanthous and is shorter than the leaves. The peduncle is pendent, yellowish-green and measures 1-7cm long. The rachis is pendent, salmon-pink and measures 0.6-1.8cm long. The rachis is quadrangular in cross-section. The flowers alternate distichously and are spaced 3-4mm apart. There are 1-2 non-floriferous bracts at the base of the rachis.
Jeffrey Wood wrote that between three and five flowers grow on an inflorescence (Wood 2001). The flowers have translucent pink, salmon-pink or pale brownish coloured sepals with a darker median nerve. The petals are translucent pink or salmon-pink. The labellum is green at its base, its side lobes are white and mid-lobe white or dull yellow. The centre of the labellum is red to brownish-red. The column is pink and the anther cap is white (Wood 2001). The dorsal sepal is shaped ovate-elliptic and has an apiculate, sometimes carinate apex. The dorsal sepal measures 7-9mm long and 2-3mm wide. The dorsal sepal has an entire margin and is three veined. The lateral sepals are shaped ovate-elliptic and have acute, sometimes carinate apices. The lateral sepals measure 7-9mm long and 2.5-3mm wide. The lateral sepals have entire margins and are three veined. The petals are shaped elliptic and have acute apices. The petals measure 6-8mm long and 2-2.8mm wide. The petals have slightly erose margins towards their apices and are three veined. The labellum is 3-lobed, three nerved, spathulate and measures 5.5-7mm long. The side lobes are shaped linear-triangular and have acute apices that are minutely dentate. The mid-lobe is shallowly concave, shaped oblong-elliptic and has an obtuse apex. The mid-lobe is thick in its centre and has a thinner and erose margin. There is one raised keel that is 1mm wide. The keel is retuse basally and extends to the base of the mid-lobe. The column measures 4mm. The column foot is prominent. The apical hood is elongate and has a 3-4 dentate margin; the median tooth is longer. The stelidia grow upwards from the base of the column and exceed the column apex. The stelidia are shaped linear-ligulate and have subacute to acute apices. The stelidia measure 4mm.
Specimen – I could not locate the specimen
Specimen L026968

Flowering plants have been collected in the wild during February, July and from September to December.
I do not think this species is in general cultivation. The National Herbarium in the Netherlands has a specimen in their Hortus Botanicus.
Dendrochilum crassilabium (please visit this page for the differences)
The epithet refers to the thick and short leaves.

Hi, I'll soon start building a modelling (and simulation) framework. There will be several "types" of model components (think "heater", "valve"), with different "subtypes" (think "coil heater", "electrically actuated proportional valve"). An overall model will be built using several components, interacting with each other.
Everything will be "one way", that is, according to the physical causality. So I do not need (nor want) equation-based modelling as provided e.g. by Modelica (and Modia.jl). The idea is to just assemble the overall model from all components and simulate it with DifferentialEquations.jl.
My question now is, what's a good design pattern for such a thing in Julia? Besides the components, there needs to be a way of defining the overall model, i.e. listing the components and their interactions (especially which outputs of components are the inputs to other components). Then, there's a simple topological sorting based on this graph to derive the execution order. When and how should this be done? And how, accordingly, is the overall model assembled from its components?
My question now is, what's a good design pattern for such a thing in Julia?
Depends on what you want a "model" to do. Eg if you need a function/callable for your purposes (examples are log likelihood, ODE definition, etc), you can just define the components/submodels as callable objects or methods of a particular function, and then implement this for the composed model.
BTW, what would be the most suitable graph library?
I would suggest that you check LightGraphs, and for a concrete application perhaps related to your problem, HybridSystems, which relies on LightGraphs to represent hybrid automata.
The goal would be to define an overall ODE. I guess the way to go is to do the topological sorting, indexing into and out of the overall state-vector, and actual "connecting" (of outputs of some components to inputs of others) at compile time by macros. One could then define connections in terms of component and signal names. The macro translates this into indices (and a graph for the toposort).
So essentially you want to build a Julia-based causal modeling tool like Simulink? I don't think there's really a package for it right now, but it would be an interesting (and difficult) project.
Yes, you could put it that way. At least the basic idea. The front-end does not need to be visual, I anyway prefer code and the framework will be used (to actually build models, not running simulations comfortably via some web front-end ) by me and probably 1 other guy. However, the back-end (or, more exactly, the separation of concerns) should be much cleaner than it is in Simulink… such that one can efficiently work with (and on) it.
I guess the @connect macros would have to receive full_model as well, or lie inside the @model macro. But the basic idea is the same. One could also think about specifying connections by names or "paths" (e.g. "name of component A/y/name of output 1, if names are given to the variables of a component… but that's too detailed for now.
So, what's the best way of setting this up? What macros, nested in which way, …? The "head", e.g. @model, needs to get a list of all components and connections, in order to toposort for execution order and to generate the state-indexing and input-tuple expressions.
Benchmarking the three solutions (manual, macro, closure) yields 11ns for the former two, and above 16ns for the latter. That's not a big difference in absolute runtime, I know. However, the generated code (@code_warntype) is twice as long for the latter. Any ideas on how to improve this?


I am always looking for maximum flexibility when I ride, which means that I don't always dress for the crash, but instead I dress for the ride. I tell my son Aden "do as I say not as I do". I have been actually listing to my own advice lately and have ben wearing some sort of protection under my jersey. I am also very picky about what goes over or underneath my jersey before I get out onto the track. Alpinestars has its A-1 Roost Guard, so I decided to try it for a while to see if I can live with having some protection under my jersey. Don't get confused, as this is not your full-on, maximum protection chest protector. The A-1 Roost Guard is constructed of a poly material blend, and the front guard is CE certified against impacts and roost (the back shell is not). However, the back shell is removable, and the whole shell is completely perforated to allow airflow through to your body. The shoulder pads are removable, and the A-1 comes in combined sizes M/L and XL/XXL.
I have been testing the A-1 Roost Guard with the complete shell intact for a while and found it to be very comfortable under my jersey. Although it is not the lightest under protector I have tried, its mobility won me over as it allowed me to move freely on the bike without feeling like my upper torso was welded together. Once I got used to the complete shell, I removed the shoulder pads and back shell and rode with it like that for several weeks. This quickly became my favorite setup, as it almost felt like I didn't have anything on. Adjusting from full shell to front shell only is super easy with the integrated Y-strap system.
I was skeptical on the sizing I received (M/L), but the A-1 guard is extremely adjustable and fit snugly around my torso. I also appreciated that the soft Biofoam shoulder pads do not stick out or make your jersey protrude outward when riding. I did get a little warmer when wearing the A-1, but it wasn't so bad that I needed to cut holes in my jersey or needed to rip my jersey off immediately after a long moto. Even though I am not the best example of, "Dress for the crash, not the ride," I appreciate a good roost guard that offers flexibility and enough protection/roost deflection for my taste. At $119.95, the Alpinestars A-1 is a great buy with its multiple configurations and is comfortable enough for me to wear year-round. It's offered in black or white colorways and is available directly from alpinestars.com.


Worn and weathered and well loved patina.
Gilded details and lots of simply pretty.
All mingling with a huge amount of charm and warmth.
absolutely stunning Patina Farm in Ojai.
A house is simply a house until someone sees it as a home and feeds that vision.
Patina Farm was a vision from the start born from a lifestyle that was merely a dream in the beginning for Brooke and Steve.
and to finally meet her in person.
Well, literally knocked my socks off.
Let's take a closer look at what inspired me.
When you step inside Patina Farm- you step into the living room filled with European charm.
and of course, the patina.
courtesy of those amazing floor to ceiling windows and french doors.
one of my favorite spaces.
And it looks out into a garden and the charming little goat area.
cup of coffee while waking up.
that open fully to bring the outside in.
I found their gardens and outdoor living areas as inspiring as the indoors.
See that light glowing inside that room?
The bedroom was another one of my favorite rooms in the house.
Sprinkled with an abundance of charm.
and that tub had me at Hello.
Patina Farm is absolutely a dream.
and just being immersed in the all the beauty of Patina Farm for an afternoon.
Lucky you! I have both of the books, Patina Style and Patina Farm and just love them. So much inspiration and the gardens are heavenly, I could wander in them for hours. It is my recipe for perfection, relaxed, inviting and elegant all rolled into one.
Oh my goodness.. just loved this tour and thank you so much for sharing it with us!
So stunning! I just bought this book a week or so ago. How wonderful that you got to visit.. :-) Lovely photos, too!!
This place....this space.....this house full of serenity and peace.....it just takes my breath away. They truly thought through every aspect of bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. It all melds so perfectly...so quietly.....so peacefully together. What a blessing to live in a house like that in a location so heavenly!
I have both their books and pick them up and look through them often. Lucky you to see it all in person!
Oh my Courtney - absolute perfection! Thank you for sharing your tour with us.
How wonderful it was that you got the opportunity to tour this gorgeous home situated on the most amazing property. I have ordered this book a while ago and it actually is sitting on my coffee table as I type...I love the book and I really loved seeing the Farm from the eyes of your camera and your perspective....Glad you were able to connect with your friends and also made new ones...that's the best!
I am so jealous that you had the opportunity to tour this beautiful farm and enjoy the beauty and atmosphere. I recently bought the book Patina Farm at a local boutique and have been pouring over it. So delightful!
Courtney ~ I never get tired of this wonderful article and photos of Patina Farm. What a great day for you! Thank for sharing it and all you loved about it with us! Today, I was reminded that I don't need tons of different shrubs and flowers to make the garden beautiful -- I've been struggling a bit with that since we leveled a couple of flowerbeds in order to put in a new fence -- all I need are the few beautiful shrubs that I love at different times in the seasons and then boxwoods, boxwoods, boxwoods, lavender and roses and whatever else tucked here and there to make the most beautiful paths and outdoor rooms. Love it!
Every detail speaks my language. Thanks for taking us along, Courtney. I've followed Brooke for years. I'm extremely thankful that the fires didn't reach their beautiful Patina Farm last summer.
