Pigs, pastures, pepper pickers, pitchforks: Carl Sandburg's Rootabaga Stories and the tall tale
Michael Heyman
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7592/EJHR2017.5.3.heyman
Słowa kluczowe: American, humour, nonsense literature
Past studies of American nonsense literature have tended to lump it together with the British, for many good reasons. This article, however, distinguishes American nonsense, not just from the British, but from any other tradition, by way of its folk origins and cultural context. One of the least-recognized writers of nonsense is Carl Sandburg, who is famous for his iconic American poetry, but his Rootabaga Stories (1922-30) are some of the best and most distinctive representatives of the genre. Sandburg's nonsense short stories are lyrical and strange, but their value lies also in their distinctive American origins. They are distinguished in having particularly American themes, cultural tendencies, and geography, but also in their formal techniques, which hearken back to American folklore and the tall tale in particular, as in W. B. Laughead's Paul Bunyan (1922).

Symposium and Catalogue Raisonné Launch: September 25, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

General Opening: September 26, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
New York, August 28, 2017—In the 1980s, when the world was reverberating from the shockwaves sent by AIDS, Brazilian artist José Leonilson (1957–1993) adapted the political discourse of the epidemic into a metaphysical rumination. His work offers a pantheon of symbols, poetics, and patterns, charting in personal terms the odyssey of a disease, which simultaneously sparked fear, confusion, and panic.
José Leonilson: Empty Man, will be accompanied by a forthcoming illustrated publication edited by Karen Marta and Gabriela Rangel. The book, designed by Garrick Gott, will feature essays by the show's curators, as well as texts by invited scholars Jenni Sorkin (University of California at Santa Barbara), Luis Enrique Pérez Oramas (writer and art historian), and Yuji Kawasima (Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain). The publication will include archival documents and an exhibition history and bibliography.
Born in Fortaleza in 1957, José Leonilson Bezerra Dias studied at the Escola Pan-Americana de Arte and the Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado (FAAP) in São Paulo. A participant in the generation-defining exhibition, Como vai você, Geração 80? (How Are You, Generation 80?), he emerged as a seminal figure of the Brazilian contemporary art world during the 1980s. Over the course of his career, Leonilson traveled extensively throughout Europe, and his paintings, drawings, and installations were featured in solo and group shows in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, in addition to many exhibitions held in Brazil. In 1991, the artist tested positive for HIV. This diagnosis compelled a decisive shift in his career, as Leonilson began to develop his intimate embroideries, a practice he continued until his death in 1993 at the age of 36. Artworks by Leonilson are today included in such major public and private collections as the Centre National d'Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou; the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Barcelona; the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, among others.
José Leonilson: Empty Man is made possible by the generous support of Projeto Leonilson, Galeria de Arte Almeida e Dale, Diane & Bruce Halle, Fundación AMA, PHILLIPS, Genomma Lab Internacional, and Paul Boskind and Robbie McMillin-Boskind. This project is also supported, in part, by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
Speakers include co-curators Cecilia Brunson (independent curator), Gabriela Rangel (Americas Society Director and Visual Arts Chief Curator), Susanna V. Temkin (Americas Society Visual Arts Assistant Curator), Yuji Kawasima (PhD. candidate, Universidad Complutense de Madrid), Ana Lenice Dias Fonseca da Silva (President, Projeto Leonilson), and Professors Jenni Sorkin (University of California, Santa Barbara) and Edward Sullivan (New York University).
Directed by Carlos Nader, A paixão de JL (2015) centers on the audio diary on tape cassettes that Leonilson began in 1990, recording his emotions, daily life, and events taking place in Brazil and around the world. Over time, the recordings came to hold a new urgency when Leonilson learned that he was HIV positive. In collaboration with Cinema Tropical.
Directed by Mon Ross, Feliciano Centurión: Abrazo íntimo al natural (2016) explores the life of the iconic Paraguayan artist who developed his career in Buenos Aires during the 1980s and 1990s. The film serves as an affective exercise with valuable archival material as Feliciano, his work, and his time are revisited through the memories of his friends. In collaboration with Cinema Tropical.
Visual AIDS and Americas Society will host a guided talk and tour engaging the artist's life and practice. The event features Tom Kalin, filmmaker (ACT UP/Gran Fury member and friend of Leonilson); the exhibition's co-curators from the Americas Society; and Alex Fialho, Visual AIDS Programs Director.
New York-based Colombian artist Carlos Motta, whose work revolves on the politics of sexual orientation and gender identity, will engage in a conversation with curator Lia Gangitano. They will discuss Motta's artistic practice and recent projects as well as the links between Motta's and Leonilson's art.
Edited by Karen Marta and Gabriela Rangel, a fully illustrated publication with newly commissioned texts is being produced in conjunction with the exhibition. The book will feature essays by the show's curators, as well as texts by invited scholars Jenni Sorkin, Luis Enrique Pérez Oramas, and Yuji Kawasima.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pharmaceutical giant Bayer Corporation says it plans to close its administrative offices in Pittsburgh, affecting about 600 workers.They include workers in finance, accounting, legal and technology jobs.
In November, Bayer announced it was laying off 12,000 workers by the end of 2021, or 10 percent of its workforce.
Bayer says in a statement released Tuesday the closure will happen over a two-year period.
For decades the Pittsburgh site served at the German company's North American headquarters. It lost that status in 2012 when the base was moved to New Jersey.

When making an Italian frittata, don't limit yourself to traditional ingredients. The Asian flavors that fill this version offer a real change of pace. Cook the eggs on top of the stove or in the oven--but be sure to use moderate heat so they don't turn rubbery.
Wine Recommendation: South Africa is one of the so-called New World wine countries, along with Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas, but its wines best reflect the balance of the European tradition. A South African chardonnay will make a marvelous partner for this Italian-inspired dish.
Notes: If you've been avoiding eggs for fear of their high cholesterol content, there's good news: The latest scientific research shows overwhelming evidence that saturated fat, not dietary cholesterol, is what can affect blood cholesterol. Eggs are nutrient dense. In fact, they're the highest-quality source of protein available (after mother's milk) and they're even low in calories (seventy-five per large egg). So for almost everyone, eating an egg or two every day is perfectly fine.
Pretty good frittata. I added a zucchini cut into 1/2 moon shape. I would also add a little more garlic and ginger next time. It's a great way to get some veggies into your diet and I skipped topping it with sesame oil just to save on some calories.

NAKED mark not registrable for condoms
Mena Lo
Wilkinson & Grist
Creative Resources LLC sought to register the mark NAKED for condoms in Class 10. Registration was refused on the grounds that the mark:
consisted exclusively of a sign that could serve to designate the characteristics of the goods; and
was devoid of any distinctive character.
Creative Resources requested a hearing on the registrability of the mark; however, it filed no evidence of use and the registrar had only the prima facie case to consider.
Creative Resources argued that the term "naked" was merely suggestive of and did not describe condoms or the sensation experienced by their users. The registrar rejected this submission and contended that "naked" conveyed an immediate message that users would feel naked or near-naked when using the goods. Although "naked" was not a term commonly used in relation to condoms, the registrar held that in order to be descriptive, a sign need not be commonly used in relation to the relevant trade, and considered it irrelevant that there were other more commonly used signs to describe the same characteristics. It was sufficient that one of the possible meanings of the mark could be used for descriptive purposes. As the mark consisted of the word "naked" in plain block letters with no other added elements or stylisation, the mark could not be registered because it was descriptive.
Further, the registrar considered that consumers would be likely to perceive the mark as merely describing a characteristic of the goods rather than as a badge of origin. As the mark was origin neutral, unless Creative Resources first educated consumers that the term "naked" was used as a trademark, they would be unlikely to rely on the mark to distinguish the goods of Creative Resources from those of other undertakings. Thus, the registrar upheld the refusal based on the lack of distinctiveness.
Despite the fact that the registrar had previously allowed the registrations of marks such as TOGETHER, ROMANTIC, PRIVATE PLEASURES, EXPRESS and PRIVATE for condoms, in this case the registrar made it clear that existing registrations are of little relevance where there are valid grounds for refusal of an application. The registrar also refused to follow foreign decisions that allowed registration of NAKED for condoms in other jurisdictions on the grounds that trademark registration was territorial.

Picture this. Four feet of snow, piled mid-trunk across the Michigan trees. It's February, and as I looked outside with no green grass nor sunshine anywhere in sight, my phone rang.
"Uh, Sheryl, I'm not going to California next month."
"Yes, you heard me, and according to another colleague's FB post this morning, you aren't either."
My mind ran like an angry bull, plowing through porcelain places inside me.
It was one of those moments when you can't think straight. One of those moments, that if you were a car, your red hazard lights would be flashing "Warning! Warning! Warning!" from here to Mars.
It was one of those moments when you want to blame, "Whose fault is this?", and shame, "Did I cause this?" and where you complain inside your own head, "It's so cold, and it was going to be so warm." It was one of those moments.
Except suddenly, I realized that every person I was blaming, was going to feel my invisible blame. That my bullishness was not just crashing and smashing internally, but each thought was like a poison arrow that I was flinging at people I loved and respected, unconsciously.
I asked myself, "What are you running from? What is so blasted uncomfortable, that you're blaming, shaming and complaining?"
Here's what I've discovered . . .
Each of us has a feeling that stalks us, that trips our inner wire, that incites us to press that inner eject button.
It's a feeling so simple and simultaneously so profound that we've patterned a fight-flight defense system around it, such that if we even catch the scent of it, we're outta there. What's fascinating here, is that we spend so much energy not feeling it, and then overeating, or overspending, or overhabituating whatever our self-soothing mechanism is, that we stop being present and often start behaving out of alignment. Discordant.
So, I made a radical choice.
I consciously chose to do something else instead. I consciously chose to sit and actually feel the feeling that I most did not want to feel. You know what it was? It was plain old disappointment.
When I first began sitting with disappointment, it was unbelievably uncomfortable. Picture cruising along a dirt road in a jallopy without shock absorption, I kept wanting to pop right out of my seat, to escape the discomfort, but then a series of potent meditation tools began to download and I began learning to stay. The more I practiced, the calmer I grew, until something started to transform, to alchemize, and only oneness remained. This really still, knowing, universal wisdom, experienced.
teaches tools that reconnect you to you.
is like upgrading your operating system to universal truth.
For weeks now, I've been sensing. . .
it's like we've just jumped onto a trampoline and are soaring to the stars.
Increasing our ability to stay centered, grounded and connected amidst turbulence and to masterfully pilot both inner and outer space are now necessary skills.
It's a time beyond waiting. It's a time to transform dreams into abundance, and significant mindfulness tools are simply required.
Thich Nhat Hahn wrote this poem in 1965 for the young people who risked their lives during war, recommending that they prepare to die without hatred.
across ten thousand worlds of birth and dying."
I read this today and realized that each day we choose to experience the present moment as it is, without opposing emotions, but simply experiencing our anger, our hatred, our greed, our jealousy, our sadness, our humiliation, our grieving, and allowing ourselves the full courage to face each of these 'beasts' with kind eyes and untroubled hearts, knowing that this, too, shall pass. That this moment is but a moment and no sensation is permanent.
So essentially, the stronger we grow ourselves to experience life, the stronger we become, the more peaceful we become.
For example, if someone cuts us off on the highway and we feel anger, and then suppress it believing we're not spiritual or good if we feel anger, we are still not blooming flowers. We may be creating a whole lot of compost heap under which that anger is simmering, but the anger will still be there, waiting for the next moment to upheave it. Instead, if we allow ourselves the natural anger, and face it, and feel it. Really feel it. Then it dissipates, releases, relaxes back from which it came, and hence we can then slide out of that old volatile skin, and allow the newness of a smile to emerge and compassion for all beings to follow and flower.
As those young people readied for war, Thich Nhat Hahn reminded them, "Our enemy is our anger, hatred, greed, fanatacism, and discrimination. If you die because of violence, you must meditate on compassion in order to forgive those who killed you. When you die realizing this state of compassion, you are truly a child of the Awakened One."
Thankfully, many of us will not ever experience the physical battlefields of war. Yet, most of us experience a different kind of internal war daily. The battles on the innerspace in which we catch the scent of feelings we'd rather not feel and we push the inner eject button.
Instead, as we learn to stay present, courageously present, to face the strong emotions, we build the capacity to face our beasts with resiliency. To smile and bloom flowers.
Writing Challenge for Today: Gather a list of feelings as you experience them today, even if the irrational ones. Especially the irrational ones. You know, the sneaky ones that you'd rather stuff--those. The part that celebrates a friend's success and also senses one's own sadnesses about perhaps not yet achieving that level of greatness. Instead of pushing that down, instead of running from that, allow yourself to sit with it. To actually feel it and witness it's dissolution. Dissolving like sugar in water, sweetening it all the way down.
Receive musings. . .and other stuff that lights up your heart.
Thanks for joining the Good Energy Global Tribe!

Q: SwiftUI Previews - unexpected data I would like to understand how to work with example data in SwiftUI Canvas Preview. I have done some searching, but didn't find answer to my problem.
Question:
Why Preview of my ItemView.swift view shows a mixture of example data I have provided + Core Data models created in Live Preview?
Preview code example
struct ItemView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
        //Test data
        let testItem = Item.init(context: context)
        testItem.name = "Abc"
        return ItemView(filter: false)
            .environment(\.managedObjectContext, context)
    }
}

Expected behaviour:
I was expecting to see UI preview with test data. So in other words, I was expecting to see "Abc" in Preview.
Actual behaviour
But what I am seeing is a list of mixed items: "Abc" repeated few times. "Test" repeated few times (as it's item.name attribute of Core Data objects being created with plus button in Live Preview).
Why is that? Why am I seeing Core Data objects, when I have specifically provided test values (testItem.name = "Abc")?

A:
Why Preview of my ItemView.swift view shows a mixture of example data I have provided + Core Data models created in Live Preview?

*

*the below line initiates context to your persistent data, so makes available all stored core data object to be fetched
 let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext

*the below line creates a new object in the context created above, so it is in context (though to stored) and available for fetching alongside of others stored.
 let testItem = Item.init(context: context)

Thus fetching object from this context ...
    return ItemView(filter: false)
        .environment(\.managedObjectContext, context)

... makes all - stored and created - available in Preview.

Never judge a building by its facade.
What can you buy for a dollar these days? Maybe a pack of gum, or a single doughnut. In Chicago, it can buy an entire building. Okay, said building is a 1920s-era former bank on the city's south side. Long-abandoned and crumbling from one end to the other, it's the type of structure where the best residents are birds and rats. Artist Theaster Gates, however, saw something else: a world class arts center. The Chicago native, an urban planner with a gallery of prestigious art awards and even more creative vision, literally purchased the 20,000-square-foot edifice for a single U.S. dollar in 2013 from the city and began transforming it into a conclave for exhibitions, artist residencies and the headquarters for the Rebuild Foundation, a nonprofit organization he established in 2010 to foster cultural and artistic development in forgotten and underprivileged neighborhoods. Earlier this month the former Stony Island State Savings Bank was reintroduced as the Stony Island Arts Bank. Among other artifacts, it contains the book collection of John H. Johnson, founder of "Ebony" and "Jet" magazines; the record collection of Frankie Knuckles, the "Godfather of House Music"; and slides of art collections from the University of Chicago and the Art Institute of Chicago.
As a writer, I'm naturally attracted to the slew of books the place houses. But it's obviously much more than a glorified library. It's a people's center; far removed from the ranks of high society cocktail parties and stuffy art museums. Gates has connected the beauty of art and literature – hallmarks of a progressive nation – with communities that some thought worthless. In this volatile election season, where self-proclaimed saviors of the masses regurgitate their ideas of revolution and the future, that's simply extraordinary.

Café Pastéis de Belém: Home to the Original Portugese Egg Tarts
Café Pastéis de Belém is often credited as the place where the famous pastel de nata (egg tart) was first commercially produced outside of its original home inside the Jeronimos Monastery a few steps away. The creamy pastry came to be known as pasteis de Belem, after the name of the suburb and that of the famous bakery. This quintessential Portugese dessert attained global prominence in the 1990s in Asia after its inclusion in the standard dessert menu of popular western fast-food chain such as Kentucky Fried Chicken. Nowadays, many in Asia have come to equate the egg tart with certain bakeries in Macau, a former Portugese colony which had contributed a great deal to the popularity of Belem egg tarts in Asia.
The Casa Pasteis de Belem is now a major tourist attraction in its own right. Customers, both local and from elsewhere in Portugal and abroad, sometimes have to queue for hours in order to get their hands on freshly baked egg tarts, still steamingly hot, directly from the oven.
Egg tarts apart, the bakery itself is a place worth visiting. Beautiful blue tiles adorn the walls of the cafe and the spacious dining hall. Decorative motifs, figures depicting famous historical personalities and places all add a touch of congenial elegance to the whole place.

Cascais: Sunny Casino Town
Cascais is a popular seaside resort just an hour away from Lisbon by train. The town is most famous for its grand casino, sandy beaches and elegant yacht marinas. On weekends, the tree-lined streets of this quaint little town are full of expensive sportcars and sedans, while tourists from all over Europe stroll around the town centre and enjoy their day out in the sun.
The presence of long swathes of soft white sandy beaches, crystal clear water and sunny blue sky all help to consolidate the position of Cascais as the leading resort of Portugal. Just take a quick walk around the town centre and it is immediately evident to anyone that this is a place for the well-heeded and the famous. Stylish shops and boutiques adorn the sides of the seaside boulevards, while posh hotels, cafes and restaurants all cluster around the centre of the old town doing brisk business.
The town centre has a distinctively Portugese feel, with mozaic-pattern on all streets, small double-story churches with belfry, and an open town square directly facing the beach and the sea.
Lisbon: Rebirth of a City
My first visit to Lisbon was more than a decade ago, when this city of more than a million inhabitants was still a largely under-developed town on the outermost fringe of Europe, consisting of numerous suburban slums and an extremely rundown city centre. At that time I thought Lisbon is easily the most dilapildated and impoverished European city I have ever seen. In fact, Lisbon in the 1980s and 90s was probably closer in terms of its standards of living to the sprawling multi-million metropoles in the developing countries in Latin America and Asia than its counterparts in western Europe. In those time, no matter where you went in the city centre, there were so many deserted houses and apartments with broken windows, sealed doors, graffiti all over place, dirty streets littered with rubbish and empty plastic bottles, that you thought you were somewhere in the middle of some impoverished third-world countries.
But things have changed for the better since then. Lisbon now is a bustling city wth a well-organized metro system, efficient public transport, lively city centre, with many former slums cleaned up and rundown buildings in downtown areas sanitized and renovated. The whole city now looks and smells much better, and this spirit of rejuvenating growth could be felt all over the place. Lisbon is no longer a decaying city slowly crumbling down in the sunset, but a lively metropole with lots of tradition, history and heritage sufficient to attract a growing crowd of admirers from all over the world.
Beaches of Faial Part II: Praia de Almoxarife
Praia de Almoxarife is just a short drive away from Horta. There are also 2-3 buses per day from Horta to Almoxarife (except for the weekends). It is a well-equipped beach, with showers, toilets, life guards, a small library on the beach and several restaurants nearby. To our surprise, the beach of Almoxarife is a certified blue-flag beach!! (There are several blue-flag beaches on the island of Faial, by the way)

Beaches of Faial Part I: Faja
There are not too many guidebooks about the Azores. Of the few that are still in print, some of them offer somewhat misleading information concerning the availability of beaches suitable for families with children. One of them stated that the Azores are not suitable for swimming due to the lack of sandy beaches.
Which, in my opinion, is not quite a correct statement. If your concept of sandy beaches comes directly from postcard impressions of long, white soft sandy beaches of the Caribbeans, then beaches of the Azores are not for you. There are plenty of secluded coves and sandy beaches here in the Azores, but they are not of soft, white sand, but coarse, black volcanic sand beaches.
Yet these black volcanic sand beaches have a unique beauty of their own:
Faja is a very secluded beach located at the western tip of Faial. There are no public transports to this beach, so you need a car or a taxi to get there.
Powerful waves lashed against black volcanic rocks and stone walls.
Horta: Small Town with a Long History
Horta is named after Joss van Hurtere, a Flemish nobleman who founded a small settlement on Faial and which later came to be known after the transliteration of his name. The town is actually much prettier than I thought, and its surroundings and public infrastructure certainly are kept in a much better state than many of the towns on Mainland Portugal.The town is set amidst picturesque settings: with green hills in the background, blue oceans and the impressive sight of the volcano of Pico rising high up above the horizon into the clouds.

Madalena: Small Harbour Town on Pico
To be honest, Madalena on the island of Pico gives one the feeling that it is just a point of transit; most people simply consider it a place of arrival/departure. As a result, the whole town has a somewhat 'irrelevant' feel to it. Apart from the harbour (to catch a ferry to other Azorean islands), a few cafes and shops in the town's main streets, there is almost nothing which calls for serious attention.
The old harbour of Madalena. Basically there is nothing much to do in this town, except for getting off and on the ferries. There are a few cafes where you can spend your time looking at the sea while waiting for the ferries, but that's it actually. It is a bit boring a place to visit, even for a short day-trip. You certainly need a car if you want to explore the beauty of the Pico island.

Crossing the 'Canal' from Faial to Pico by Ferry
It is very easy to cross over from Faial to Pico by ferry. Daily services by Transmacor (http://www.transmacro.pt ) depart from Horta to the habrour town of Madalena (on the island of Pico). As of August 2009, there are 6 sailings per day by conventional ferry. One way ticket costs 3.40 euro; children under the age of four can travel for free.
In addition, on certain days there are also a high speed catamaran that sails between Horta - Madalena (Pico Island) - Sao Roque (Pico Island) - Velas (Sao Jorge island). One way ticket between Horta and Madalena with the catamaran is 4.10 euro.
Cafe Internacional, Horta: Art Deco/Jugendstil Cafe in the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean
I love cafes. It is not just a lifestyle: it is a ritual. Everywhere I go, I will try out the cafes in town and find one that I prefer most. In Portugal, you will easily find plenty of decent bars and cafes that serve excellent gelao (coffee with milk) at reasonable prices, but this one, Cafe Internacional right across the road from Horta,'s Marina stands outfrom most other cafes in Horta because of its art deco/Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) interiors.

Horta, the Emerald Island in the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean
Every island of the Azores has a name: Faial is known as the 'Blue Island' thanks to the overwhelming presence of hydrangea all over the island. Due to the relative absence of efficient public transport systems, it is advisable that you rent a car if you want to visit the various parts of the island in depth. It takes less than 3 hours to drive around the entire island.
Rental car companies congregate around two streets in the centre of Horta: the Rua Vasco da Gama, and Rua Conselheiro Medeiros. It is advisable to enquire around for prices and availability, as prices and the class of cars available at short notice differ hugely between different car rental companies.
We rented our car from Auto Turistica Faialense Rent-a-Car. They are very friendly and offer efficient service. The only thing you need to watch out for if you want to rent a car in Horta is, try to make a reservation as soon as possible because in the summer months, often you will need to wait 3-4 days before a car of your choice is available. Otherwise you might have to pay much more for a bigger car if you want something immediately. In addition, it seems most of the rental car companies in Horta do not offer rental terms with unlimited mileage. Instead you are required to pay for a fixed minimum daily charge, plus additional kilometer charges.
Driving around Faial is a joy because of the beautiful, lush green scenery and the abundance of nature everywhere you go. Roads are in good condition, although sign posts are somewhat inadequate. Make sure you have a copy of latest road map with you while venturing inland on Faial.
The Caldera in the middle of the island is a beautiful crater landscape, 2km wide and almost 0.5km deep. The crater used to be a huge crater lake, but it was said that the water in the crater lake disappeared overnight during the undersea volcanic eruption of 1957/58. A small path for hiking surrounds the entire perimeter of the crater; the hike will take about 2.5 hours.
Horta Marina and Cafe Sport Peter (Faial, Azores)
Horta is a quaint little town with a world famous marina. The marin is world famous because it is an important provision stop for Trans-Atlantic yachts. In the 1930s, Horta was an important signal stop for trans-Atlantic telex cables; it also served as an intermediate stop for flights to and from the US/Europe.
Cafe Sport Peter is known amongst seafarers and yacht sportsmen all over the world as 'the watering hole' in the middle of the Atlantic. For decades, yachtsmen reprovisioning at Horta's harbour on the way to/from Europe would stop at Peter's place, have a drink or a meal, and exchange news about sailing conditions or the journey ahead. The Cafe also serves as a 'post office' for yachtsmen: you can have your mails sent to Cafe Sport Peter and pick them up when you arrived at Horta.
Horta Airport, Faial Island, the Azores: Airport in the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean
The Azores are a group of volcanic islands located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about 2.5 hours - 3 hours by flight from Lisbon. Since their colonization by the Portugese seafarers in the 15th century, the Azores have been part of the Portugese Empire and a strategic transit point on the Trans-Atlantic sea and air route. Today, the Azores are an autonomous region within the Portugese Republic, and part of the European Union.
Horta, the biggest town on the island of Faial, is served by TAP Portugal and SATA (the regonal airlines of the Azores) via Lisbon or Ponta Delgada (on the island of Sao Miguel). The airport at Horta has a relatively short landing strip, which means the thrust reversers were immediately put into action as soon as the SATA Airbus 320-200 touched down on the runway.
The airport of Horta is located in the village of Castelo Branco, about 10km outside of Horta town centre. There is a inter-village bus service that stops at a bus stop on the main road, right outisde the entrance to the airport.
Wild poppies and border-crossings: From Castelo Blanco back to Spain via Segura
When we checked out at Melia Tryp Castelo Blanco, the friendly receptionist (Portugal has lots of friendly receptionists. In fact I must say all receptionists I have met at all the Melia's we have stayed at in Spain and Portugal are all very friendly and helpful) recommended we cross the border at Segura as the drive is a very pictureque one. We followed his advice and were indeed very impressed by the beautiful countryside full of wild flowers, red poppies and old stones.
It was spring time and the whole countryside was full of such purple-bluish flowers.
This is my favourite wild flower: wild poppies that bloom in the spring all over the lush hills in southern Europe. As these flowers do not have saps, they are not used to produce opium or related drugs.
Wandering around Portugese Countryside without a Map: From Lousa to Castelo Branco
When we checked out at Melia Palacio de Lousa, the friendly lady at the hotel reception gave me precise instructions and a handful of copies of detailed road maps, to help us find our way to Castelo Branco (our next stop) without getting lost somewhere on the way again. We followed her advice closely and found ourselves passing through some very pleasant countrysides.

In fact, many older Portugese know about Formosa and the troubled history between the Nationalists and the Chinese Communists.
All along the way there are countless olive grooves and orchards. In contrast to Spain, olive grooves and orchard fields all have a rugged, even 'wild' feeling.
In the Heart of Portugal: the Sleepy Town of Lousa
Our next destination after Porto is Lousa. As we spent far too much time in the morning sampling Port wine and enjoying lunch on the bank of Rio Douro, we did not leave Porto until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The drive to Lousa is another mini-adventure: we again lost our way while trying to find the road from Coimbra to Lousa. We saw one sign post which stated 'Lousa' as soon as we got off the highway at Coimbra, but fail to see any further sign posts after that. Not knowing which way to go, and there are at least 10 roundabouts in Coimbra (all without signs pointing out which direction is the way to Lousa), we ended up driving around Coimbra in circles. After one hour we became really fed up with such aimless search, especially as it was already late and we really did not want to drive into the surrounding hills in complete darkness. Fortunately some passerbys told us the right direction and after a few wrong turns, finally found the road that is supposed to take us all the way to Lousa.
Porto: Beautiful Rio Douro and the Home Town of Port Wine
Porto has been on my agenda for many years because of the world renown Port wine. Port wine, a kind of fortified red wines aged in wooden barrels or in bottles, became popular with the English during the beginning of the 18th century. In order to prevent the wines from becoming spoilt whilst on the way from Porto to England, the wines were fortified to prolong its shelf-life for the journey.
The wooden boat seen above, known as 'Rabelos' in Portugese, is traditionally used to transport barrels of Port wine down the Rio Douro for storage and aging in the caves of Vila Nova de Gaia.
Porto: the City where you always lose your way
Portugal is a strange country. It has some of the most friendly people in Europe, lots of history, serene sceneries, impressive buildings, stunningly good wines (not just the sweet Port wines, but excellent white wines too). Yet the whole country feels so 'dislocated' to the rest of western and southern Europe. It has been part of the EU since the 1980s, yet its level of development and standards of public infrastructure lie several decades behind the rest of Europe (with the exception of Romania and Bulgaria of course, but that's another story). To be honest, when we were in Portugal, we did not feel as though we were in an EU country at all. To a large extent, Portugal feels more like a developing country than a first world developed country.
The Historical City Centre of Porto, A UNESCO inscribed World Heritage Site, seen from across the Rio Douro
As soon as drove across the bridge over Rio Mino that marks the border between northern Portugal and Spain's Galicia province, you began to see rundown buildings, fields overgrown with weeds, roads with potholes, inadequately-signposted streets that make first-time visitors lose their way, etc. This does not diminish the beauty and attraction of northern Portugal, but it does highlight the gap between Portugal and her neighbours. The flair of northern Portugal is strikingly similar to certain parts of Maputo (Capital of Mozambique), also part of the former Portugese colonial empire. (In fact, many towns and cities of the former Portugese empire look very much alike both in terms of appearance and the degree of dilapidation suffered by the colonial buildings - it just seems the Portugese had imparted something of a laissez-faire attitude to all its overseas territories, and such an outlook on life and everything has persisted till this today.
(Many buildings and houses in Porto have walls decorated with beautiful blue painted tiles depicting scenes of stories from the Holy Bible.)


Laser pulse amplification has for a long time relied upon multi-pass concepts through inverted gain media with limited bandwidth. This concept allows high energy pulses, but due to band narrowing effects and thermal load, the pulses have a long duration and low repetition rates.
Optical parametric chirped pulsed amplification has the advantage of a single pass, employing a high gain and ultrabroad amplification process, therefore maintaining its bandwidth and the associated short pulse duration. The instantaneous nature of the parametric process with no energy storage in the crystal allows for a repetition rate in the order of hundreds of kilohertz without having to deal with thermal lensing.
A wide range of nonlinear applications such as High Harmonic Generation benefit from the photon flux with highly intense few-cycle pulses with ultrabroadband spectrum. Here, the innovative Laser Quantum OPCPA is the ideally-suited light source.
To explain the principles of OPCPA, we have created an educational animation that explains how it works.

Government offers reassurance that pennies are here to stay
Around 8 per cent of coppers are thrown in the bin, according to the Treasury Credit: David Jones
Katie Morley, Consumer Affairs Editor
14 March 2018 • 5:48pm

The Government has said it will not scrap 1p and 2p coins, following a major outcry from MPs, the charity sector and members of the public.
The possibility of scrapping coppers was proposed by the Treasury on Tuesday as Phillip Hammond's Spring Statement saw the launch of a consultation on the future of cash and digital payments.
According to the consultation document around 8 per cent of coppers are thrown in the bin.
However the suggestion was met with outrage over fears that it could hurt charities, small businesses and arcades, who rely on people spending their spare change.
Sir John Low, chief executive of the Charities Aid Foundation, said: "Cash is still by far the most common way people donate to charity, so the forecast in HM Treasury's consultation document on cash and digital payments, suggesting that cash transactions will more than halve from 12 billion transactions a year to 5.8 billion between 2016 and 2026, could have a real impact on charities if people carry less cash to give away.

"A consultation on cash is a good opportunity for government and charities to work together to embrace new technologies and ensure the decline of cash doesn't get in the way of people's desire to be generous."
Labour MP for Ilford North, Wes Streeting, said: "After eight years of the Tories, working people have fewer pounds in their pocket.
"That's not enough for this penny pincher Chancellor — he wants to take away people's one and two pennies too. He should leave well alone and focus on getting the economy back on track."
But yesterday a Downing Street spokesman offered reassurance that pennies were safe.
He said:"There are no proposals to scrap one or two pence coins in the consultation that HMT issued yesterday. The call for evidence is simply intended to enable the Government to better understand the role of cash and digital payments in the new economy.
As part of the consultation £50 notes could be scrapped as they are used by criminals Credit: PA
"One thing the Treasury were seeking views on was whether the current denominational mix of coins meets the public's needs and from the early reaction it looks as if it does.
"The Government welcomes all contributions to the debate and will respond fully after the call for evidence closes on June 5."
It emerged last year that ex-Chancellor George Osborne had come close to scrapping copper pennies in 2015 but was blocked by David Cameron. Downing Street worried the "symbolism" of The Conservatives scrapping the copper coins would be a vote loser after warnings from charities that their donations would suffer.
There are more than 500 million 1p and 2p coins produced every year.

Go Realty Unplugged: Yep, You're Getting ALL That!
Yep, You're Getting ALL That!
Seriously, I get ALL that?
I recently had the privilege of accompanying one of our agents on a listing presentation. After a thorough analysis of the home and market, the seller was given a suggested range for pricing. Clearly, he was in deep thought and wanted to make sure to price his home appropriately.
The agent eased the seller's mind when she offered additional time to think through the pricing, while she shared the benefits of listing with Go Realty. As the agent was going through all the ways she would market their home, she logged on to one of her current property websites and showed the seller an example of the "standard" bells and whistles.
I will never forget what the seller said next ..... he looked at the agent and said, "With your marketing, I think my price could be at least $2,000 higher than I originally thought!" To say he was blown away by our marketing would be a complete understatement.
I will be the first to admit, after years of preparing market analysis for clients and knowing that my marketing was nothing more than "the expected", it was so exciting to see a seller's enthusiasm and excitement about a company who goes the extra mile for their clients.
Go has given you all the tools. Who will you WOW today?

Home > About SDFU > SD Farm & Ranch Families > Latham Ranch Family
By Lura Roti for SDFU
Someone once asked Darwin Latham's grandpa Frank about his heritage. His answer? "Texan," says the Camp Crook rancher.
As the story goes, Frank's uncles, Doc and Willie, were among the area's early settlers, first arriving in the 1880s, driving herds for Texas cattle companies.
They trailed up herds from Texas. "They worked for both the CY Cattle Company and the 101 Cattle Company," Darwin explains. "Then they began ranching. For a time, Doc was part-owner of the famous bucking horse Tipperary."
Born in Texas, Frank's dad died when he was only 2, so his uncles, Doc and Willie encouraged his mom, Mattie, and stepdad, along with his younger brother John, to relocate from Texas.
It wasn't easy. They tried homesteading several claims and moved around trying to make a go of it. After Frank's stepdad's death, Mattie and John moved to a small ranch just north of Camp Crook which is still in the family today.
Frank served in France during World War I as a truck driver. After the war, he put his heavy-equipment experience to work as a "cat skinner" driving a dozer helping build state highways. The money he earned helped him get a start ranching on his own.
In 1928, Frank and his young wife, Esther (Bickerdyke), started ranching on land north of Camp Crook along the Little Missouri River. Their oldest child, Erwin, Darwin's dad, remained on the ranch.
Darwin and his sons, John, 33, and Jason, 30, continue to ranch there today.
"There are two stories about why we still have the place. One is we are too stubborn to give up and leave. The other is we were too broke to leave. Maybe the real truth is, it is a good place to be, so why go anywhere else," Darwin says.
And, thanks to these efforts, Darwin, his wife, Kay, and their sons are the fifth generation of Lathams to ranch in the Camp Crook area. The family raises a commercial herd of black Angus/Hereford-cross cattle and sell some registered bulls.
Originally, like all their neighbors, the Lathams raised Hereford cattle. Then black became the preferred color and sale barn prices changed their allegiance.
"We'd get $50 less. Our cattle were the same weight and everything. It was their color, so we switched to black Angus bulls and put them on our Hereford cows," Darwin explains.
Then, they noticed the bulls weren't holding up. "They were overdeveloped and couldn't make it on just grass. Their feet would go bad and they'd break down when we turned them out with the cows on the forest service allotment in the summer," John explains.
As a result, John bought some registered Angus cows at a dispersion and began raising his own bulls. "We figured the bulls needed to be developed on the same feed as our cows – grass, hay and cake. That will allow them to develop slower but last longer and remain sound," John says.
"We hand-feed the bull calves because we had some temperament issues with purchased bulls as well. Our main bull-feeding crew are Jason's sons, my mom and my daughter," John says.
John's daughter, Joy, is 3 and Jason and his wife, Kaeloni, have two sons, Jaydon, 4, and Jarrett, 2.
To keep fresh genetics in the herd, John AI's his registered cows and buys cleanup bulls. "I review catalogues extensively to get just what I'm looking for," he explains.
In addition to temperament, strong maternal traits and feed efficiency top the list. "Fertility, moderate frame, weaning weights and growth round out the rest of the list," Jason explains, their cattle need to gain well on rangeland as well as the forest service land they lease in the Custer National Forest.
Their focus has been working. For the last two decades, the Lathams have sold calves right off their ranch, direct to the same Sisseton feeder.
"He is very happy with how our calves perform for him, and we settle on a price ahead of time so we know there won't be a market wreck on shipping day," Darwin explains.
Like his grandfather, keeping things going for the next generation still takes gumption and creativity.
During the most recent drought, 2016- 17, the Lathams weren't able to put up hay at home and lost some cattle to salinity poisoning when the water in their dams went bad.
Because access to water impacts pasture rotation, since 2003, the men have worked to install miles of waterlines, tanks and solar-pumped wells.
"We've worked hard to get live water everywhere," explains John.
For the solar wells, the family was able to get some cost-sharing help from the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Environmental Quality Incentives Program funds and Emergency Conservation Program. The funds were made available during recent drought years when they had to haul water.
Even on overcast or snowy days, the solar-powered wells run continuously – keeping tanks thawed out on the coldest of days.
"They are easy to put in now, because we know what we're doing," Darwin explains.
Thankfully, there's been plenty of moisture this year, "Our Little Missouri River is up longer than I've ever seen it in my lifetime. Typically, by this time of year you can walk across without getting your feet wet, but today, it's 10-feet deep. The best clover year we've ever had."
"We're pretty well watered up. It allows for better utilization of pastures," Darwin adds.
"And the cows and calves look much better," says Jason.
The Lathams manage their summer pastures on a seasonal rotation. If they go into a pasture in the spring one year, they use it in the fall the next year. "It gives the cool- and warm-season grasses a break and as long as there's moisture, it works pretty well," Darwin says. "I can remember from an early age, my granddad Frank and dad told me, 'if you take care of the ranch, it will take care of you.'"
Darwin's focus on water began when he returned to ranch full time with his dad, Erwin, in 1994. He and his wife, Kay, had been working as teachers. They jumped at the opportunity to raise their sons on the ranch.
"We felt this was a great place to raise kids. You don't have a lot of violence and crime here, not like a lot of places," Darwin says.
The boys attended the multi-grade school in Camp Crook through the eighth grade. "I loved it," says John, comparing it to the traditional elementary school experience he had prior to moving to the ranch. "You are with kids above and below you, so you learn a lot from your peers, and you get to help the younger kids. We all had combined recess and played kickball together. We even worked on subjects like history, social science and science projects together."
"In a country school, you don't have clicks because there are only about 20 kids in the whole school, so everyone needs to get along," Jason adds.
Like their dad, John and Jason enjoyed working on the ranch and, after college they both planned to return home to ranch. The time was right in 2012. Darwin needed extra help because their grandpa Erwin was fighting cancer and wanted to stay on the ranch. "We were able to honor that and take care of him here," Jason says.
Jason was the first to return home. He had and had been able to save up some money to build up the herd he began as an elementary student. Jason's wife, Kaeloni, does billing and payroll for a local construction company. John, after teaching and coaching for several years, returned to the ranch in 2018 and works as a loan officer for Pioneer Bank.
Jason and John have slowly built their own commercial herd and were fortunate enough to recently buy some pasture close to the main ranch. Both men agree, having off-ranch income helps them survive the weather-related events as well as volatile markets.
While John got his first heifer calf from Grandpa Erwin, Jason actually received his first calf as part of a local program, established by Ludlow rancher, Claude Olson, to help kids get their start with cattle. Through the Olson Livestock Foundation, first-graders in Harding County can apply for a heifer calf. Then, three years later, they donate back one of her heifer calves.
The Olson Foundation is just one example of the strong community the Lathams belong to, and, yet another reason the men wanted to return to the ranch.
"We're so sparsely populated, but because we only have one high school in Buffalo, we know people from all over Harding County – we have people who are good friends and we consider as neighbors even if they live 25 to 50 miles away," Darwin says.
"In the spring and fall we do a lot of neighboring, trading work, branding and working cattle. There are about seven families in our crew who rotate around and help each other," Jason explains.
Branding, the men explain, is a social event everyone looks forward to each spring. "After being cooped up all winter, it's nice to get out and see people," Jason says. "When you feel like you have had a crap winter, you hear about the one guy who buried his tractor in the snow and had to climb out his back window. It makes the day that you had all the pickups buried in the snow not seem quite so bad."
Beyond the good times, community members watch out for one another in small ways, like delivering parts. "One challenge of living rural is the distances you have to go to get parts. Getting parts when you break down during haying can take one to four hours, depending on where you need to go for the part. At the Case-IH dealership 65 miles away there's a sign on the counter asking in-store customers if they are from one of the towns listed, would they be willing to drop a part off for a neighbor in that community waiting for a part," Darwin explains.
And in big ways. Darwin shares about a time a few years ago when an area ranch had a TB outbreak in their herd. "Everyone who shares a fenceline with them had to test. It happened right before calving season. It was a terrible deal. You don't want to work cows before calving, but we had to. We had phone calls from our bankers, feed salesmen, insurance salesmen and others asking if they could come out and help us work cattle," Darwin says. "Relationships you develop in agriculture are like nothing you can find in any other field."
To give back, the Lathams are all actively involved in the community. Jason and Kay serve on the fair board, John and Jason serve on the church council, Darwin has served on the school board and is president of the EMT association. John currently serves on the Harding County Economic Development board and Jason has served as a director of Stockgrowers. Darwin, Kay and Jason are volunteer EMTs and John and Kaeloni are drivers for the Harding County Ambulance Service. "We feel that part of leaving a legacy for your children and grandchildren is leaving not only a sustainable ranch, but a strong sustainable community. We have benefited from a great community and we want to give back and pay it forward to the next generations," says Darwin.
"We have a lot of history here. I know it because I grew up with Granddad Frank, and although he wasn't one of the first ones, he knew all the first ones," Darwin explains. "This area was, is and will continue to be a great place to live and raise a family."

Q: where does a typedef enum statement go in Objective-C? A basic question I fear. The following code works, and the typedef enumeration is recognised, but I get a warning message "useless storage class specifier in empty declaration". Am I doing something wrong here and is this the best place to put a typedef enum?
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "CoreDataBaseTableViewController.h"

typedef enum ColourType {
    BACKGROUND=1,
    LOW=2,
    HIGH=3,
    EXTRA=4
};

@interface ColourList : CoreDataBaseTableViewController <NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate> {

    NSManagedObjectContext* moc;
    NSFetchedResultsController* fetchedResultsController;

    ...

    enum ColourType colourTarget;

}

...

A: You can put an enumeration anywhere in Objective-C which is valid in C. Where you have it now (above the interface) is a common place for enumerations which should be globally available. The warning is because you are using typedef, but don't actually define a type. If you simply want to create an enumeration, it isn't necessary. You just use:
enum ColourType {
    BACKGROUND=1,
    LOW=2,
    HIGH=3,
    EXTRA=4
};

You use typedef to define a type, which makes it easier to reference commonly used structures/unions/enumerations/other types. If you choose to do this, you should place a name for the type after the enumeration definition, and then you can reference the enumeration by using that name without the enum keyword.
typedef enum ColourType {
    BACKGROUND=1,
    LOW=2,
    HIGH=3,
    EXTRA=4
} MyColourType;
MyColourType colour;

Alternatively, you can create the enumeration and type in separate commands with the same effect.
enum ColourType {
    BACKGROUND=1,
    LOW=2,
    HIGH=3,
    EXTRA=4
};
typedef enum ColourType MyColourType;

A: By the by, consider using Objective-C's NS_ENUM macro. Take it away,
Apple Docs
::polite applause as AD takes the mic::

The NS_ENUM and NS_OPTIONS macros provide a concise, simple way of defining enumerations and options in C-based languages. These macros improve code completion in Xcode and explicitly specify the type and size of your enumerations and options. Additionally, this syntax declares enums in a way that is evaluated correctly by older compilers, and by newer ones that can interpret the underlying type information.

Syntax example:
  typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, DRWColourType) {
  DRWColourTypeBackground,
  DRWColourTypeLow,
  DRWColourTypeHigh,
  DRWColourTypeExtra
};

Why? NSHipster:

This approach combines the best of all of the aforementioned approaches, and even provides hints to the compiler for type-checking and switch statement completeness.

A: Either get rid of typedef, or provide an alias for the type:
typedef enum X {...} Y;

A: Yes it will work just fine since objective c is just a superset of C. You must provide an alias for your enum like so:
typedef enum ColourType {
    BACKGROUND=1,
    LOW=2,
    HIGH=3,
    EXTRA=4
} MyColourType;


Author of Atmosphere, Mood, Stimmung: On a Hidden Potential of Literature (2012), Production of Presence: What Meaning Cannot Convey (2004) and After 1945 – Latency as Origin of the Present (2013).

Mood is an affective phenomenon located at the intersection of philosophy, aesthetics, musicology, psychology and sociology. It is as central to our experience of the world and of art as it is difficult to grasp theoretically. Bringing together scholars from various disciplines, this two-day conference will foster an interdisciplinary discourse about the nature of mood and its significance for human and aesthetic experience. As an emerging topic in literary criticism, mood has been problematised in a number of recent publications, in which critics have turned to other disciplines, especially psychology and musicology, in order to develop theories of mood. At the same time, scientific disciplines, such as psychiatry and cognitive science, examine this phenomenon empirically in relation to mood disorders like depression. However, thus far the interdisciplinary potential harboured by mood has not been explored sufficiently. The main objective of this conference is to bring together and to create synergy between disciplines whose research addresses the same phenomenon in different ways.
Summarising the outcomes of the conference, we wish to submit a book proposal for an edited volume on mood with articles that bring together perspectives on mood from the disciplines mentioned above. This publication shall foster a vivid interdisciplinary discussion about the nature and significance of mood as an emerging topic in the humanities, social sciences and in the sciences, contributing to the process of conceptualising mood from a perspective that is not limited to the arts but is also informed by philosophical thought and scientific research.
Aesthetics and mood in Kant, Schiller et al.
Mood disorders: depression, bipolar disorder, etc.
The moods of Romanticism, Modernism, etc.
Cinematic portraits of mood: Tarkovsky's Nostalghia, von Trier's Melancholia, etc.
Abstracts should be sent to mood.warwick2016@gmail.com by 29th February 2016.

Q: No internet on Ubuntu Server 14.04 or 12.04 I am relatively new at Ubuntu, and am trying to install Ubuntu Server on a commercial network at an academic institution.  When installing Ubuntu Desktop, I can automatically pull an IP address and get internet connectivity during installation.  However, if I install either Ubuntu Server 12.04 or 14.04 on the same hardware, I get a local IP address but do not have internet connectivity (cannot use apt-get or ping google).  We've tried using a static IP address, but to no avail.  I was allowed to test the hardware at my personal residence, and was able to get internet connectivity there.
Anyone know the reason we don't have internet connectivity with Ubuntu server but would with the Ubuntu Desktop?

A: In a server, if you want a static IP address, which I recommend so that you can ssh and ftp into it, it is your responsibility to set the network details including DNS nameservers. I recommend you amend /etc/network/interfaces to something like this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.125
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 192.168.1.1

Substitute your details here. Be sure to select an address outside the DHCP pool in the router, switch, etc. Get the system to re-read and use the changes:
sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0

Check:
ping -c3 192.168.1.1
ping -c3 www.ubuntu.com

A: Not sure what you're doing during the installation that you don't get DHCP leased IP (I don't remember the installation process on Ubuntu Server right now out of my head) and not sure what you mean by "I get a local IP address, but do not have internet connectivity" - if you get proper IP from DHCP it should be fine, I'd say (have you checked routing btw?  - just in case?)
Anyway you may try to run dhclient command manually to get IP from DHCP server - or at least try to do that (with root privileges). And then see if you get connected properly to the network.
I guess dhclient should be installed by default, but if not - I'm pretty sure that your CD has the proper package to install.

Klima
In Rodenbach herrscht ein gemäßigtes Klima.

Geschichte

Ortsgeschichte
Rodenbach gehörte bis zum Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts zum kurpfälzischen Gericht Weilerbach. Im Mittelalter besaß das Kloster Otterberg hier eine Gülte. Durch den Ort führte eine Straße von Lautern nach Kusel, deswegen war hier eine kurpfälzische Zollstätte. Im Jahr 1787 wurden an Gebäuden zwei Schulhäuser und 45 Wohnhäuser verzeichnet. Die Gemarkung Rodenbach umfasste 924 Morgen Äcker, 184 Morgen Wiesen, sieben Morgen Gärten und 100 Morgen Wald.

Im Jahr 1794 hatten französische Revolutionstruppen das Linke Rheinufer eingenommen. Von 1798 bis 1814 gehörte die Region und damit ebenso Rodenbach zum Kanton Kaiserslautern im Departement Donnersberg und unterstand der Mairie Weilerbach. Aufgrund der auf dem Wiener Kongress getroffenen Vereinbarungen und einem bayerisch-österreichischen Staatsvertrag kam die Pfalz 1816 zum Königreich Bayern. Unter der bayerischen Verwaltung blieb die Gemeinde Rodenbach im Kanton Kaiserslautern, der Teil des Landkommissariats Kaiserslautern (1862 umbenannt in Bezirksamt Kaiserslautern) in der Pfalz (Bayern) war.

Ab 1939 war der Ort Bestandteil des Landkreises Kaiserslautern. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde Otterbach innerhalb der französischen Besatzungszone Teil des damals neu gebildeten Landes Rheinland-Pfalz. Im Zuge der ersten rheinland-pfälzischen Verwaltungsreform wurde die Gemeinde 1972 Teil der neu gebildeten Verbandsgemeinde Weilerbach.

Ortsname
Der Name Rodenbach hat mit der außergewöhnlichen Rotfärbung des gleichnamigen Baches zu tun. Bei Regen färbt sich der Rodenbach aufgrund des hohen Lehm-Anteils im Boden stark rot, weshalb der Ort anfangs Rotenbach, später dann Rodenbach genannt wurde.

Einwohnerentwicklung
Im Jahr 1787 lebten in der Gemeinde 52 Familien und 240 Einwohner. Im Jahr 1802 hatte Rodenbach 254 Einwohner: 79 Katholiken, 132 Reformierte, 31 Lutheraner und 12 Mennoniten. 1815 betrug die Einwohnerzahl 322. Im Jahr 1837 hatte Rodenbach bereits 612 Einwohner, davon waren 185 Katholiken, 419 Protestanten und acht Mennoniten.
Im Bayerischen Ortschaftsverzeichnis aus dem Jahr 1928 wird die Landgemeinde Rodenbach, nun zum bayerischen Regierungsbezirk Pfalz gehörend, wie folgt beschrieben: Insgesamt 1385 Einwohner (357 Katholiken, 1.024 Protestanten und vier sonstige), 199 Wohngebäude und eine Fläche von 1348 Hektar; es gab eine Eisenbahnstation, ein Postamt, eine katholische und eine protestantische Schule sowie eine Kinderbewahranstalt. Neben dem Dorf Rodenbach gehörten zwei weitere Ortschaften zur Gemeinde: der Mückenhof (13 Einwohner, zwei Wohnhäuser) und das Rodenbacher Forsthaus (drei Einwohner).

Archäologie
1874 wurde in Rodenbach am "Fuchshübel" ein keltisches Hügelgrab gefunden, das auf die Zeit um 400 vor Christus datiert wird; es galt nach der Entdeckung als bedeutendster Fund aus der Latènezeit nördlich der Alpen. Die wertvollen Grabbeigaben deuten darauf hin, dass es sich bei dem Bestatteten um einen bedeutenden Mann gehandelt haben muss. Es ist deshalb als "Fürstengrab von Rodenbach" bekannt.

Guinea: Ethnic Riots Spread in Capital
CONAKRY, Guinea — Anti-riot police on Friday dispersed protesters in the Medina market of Guinea's capital, after a riot broke out between sellers from the Peul and Malinke ethnic groups, the two largest ethnicities in the country, according to witnesses.
By afternoon, the riots had spread to other parts of the city and in Peul-dominated areas of the capital, residents were stopping taxis and yanking out Malinke passengers. There are similar reports in Malinke areas, where Peul passengers were suddenly not being allowed in.
In this country of around 11 million people, the Peule make up about 40 percent of the population and the Malinka 30 percent, according to U.S. State Department figures.
Tensions between the two groups have been running high ever since the 2010 presidential election, which was won by Malinke politician Alpha Conde. He defeated a Peul candidate, and the vote was overwhelmingly carried out along ethnic lines. Since coming to power, Conde is accused of favoring his ethnic group in appointments to government ministries, all the way down to the guards and janitors.
On Friday, an AP reporter saw police fire tear gas to try to break up the protesters at the Medina market. The two ethnic groups carry out different activities in the market, with the Malinke concentrated in the area selling spare automobile parts, while the Peul sell clothes and food.
Moussa Yero Diallo, a Peul, said he saw cars being stopped all along Prince Boulevard, the main thoroughfare that bisects the predominantly-Peul suburbs of Bambeto, Cosa and Enco-5 in Conakry.
"On the axis Bambeto to Cosa and all the way to Enco-5, youths are demonstrating and are blocking taxis and saying that only the Peul passengers can travel on Prince road. If you are not Peul, you are forced to get out of the car. They say they are doing this because they have been told that Malinke youths are blocking vehicles on the freeway, where they are forcing Peul passengers to get out and are stealing their things," said Diallo, who lives near the intersection of Prince Boulevard and Bambeto.
Oumar Diallo, who is also Peul, said that he was forced to get out of the communal taxi he was riding in.
"This morning near the Medina market, I was in a taxi when they recognized that I am a Peul. A bunch of youths speaking the Malinke language told me to get down. They hit me, they stole my money and my phone. I thought I was going to get lynched by these Malinke youths, who are hunting down Peul," said Diallo.
Guinea won its independence from France in 1958, and was under the hold of successive strongmen until the 2010 election, considered the first democratic vote in the country's history. The vote was widely praised by the international community, despite the ethnic fault line that became evident during riots leading up the vote, and in protests following the announcement of Conde's victory.
The country has one of the world's largest supplies of bauxite, the raw material used to make aluminum, as well as reserves of gold and virgin stands of timber. It's often cited as an example of Africa's "resource curse," because its rich mineral wealth contrasts with the endemic poverty of its people.

"Galactic magnetic fields are formed through numerous stellar explosions, the effects of which last for hundreds of millions of years. The energy bursts of all supernovas put together produce a galaxy's magnetic fields. Due to the fact that stellar explosions are chaotic processes, scientists had not expected them to generate a magnetic field with an orderly structure on a large scale. But this is exactly what they have now proved to be the case in several galaxies – even though the orderly structures did not manifest in every single object. The underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully understood."

PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): The Free Iran World Summit 2021 – Online summit of Iranians from 50,000 locations in 105 countries, joined by 1,029 political dignitaries from five continents, and including gatherings in 17 countries.
The three-day Free Iran World Summit-2021 began on Saturday, July 10, with the involvement of Iranians and resistance supporters from more than 50,000 places in 105 countries, as well as the presence of thousands of members of the People's Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran) at Ashraf 3 in Albania. Participants convened online with a 20-hour time difference from all around the world.
Maryam Rajavi speech
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said in her speech on the first day of the Summit that Khamenei's installation of Ebrahim Raisi, one of the culprits of the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, stamped the clerical regime's greatest defeat and disgrace in history.
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): Maryam Rajavi: Installing Raisi as president a sign of the regime's final stage, fear of an uprising, entrenchment, and intensified internal purge.
Khamenei eliminate internal factions
It was a rushed move to purge and eliminate internal factions as Khamenei sought to consolidate control in the later years in power. Raisi's elevation, the henchman of the 1988 slaughter, can only be explained by the regime's fear of protests and the supreme leader's political downfall.
Our desire and the will of our people, Mrs. Rajavi continued, can be summed up in three words: freedom, democracy, and equality. In terms of international perspective, the world community should recognize the Iranian people's determination to overthrow the regime.
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): Disqualifying individuals such as IRGC Brig. Gen. Ali Larijani, the architect of censorship and repression, the speaker of the regime's parliament for 12 years.
Bring to justice the mullahs
"We want to bring to justice the mullahs' supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, his president, Ebrahim Raisi, his Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Eje'i, and others responsible for the 1988 massacre on charges of committing crimes against humanity and genocide." Mrs. Rajavi added.
The religious dictatorship, according to the NCRI President-elect, is in an impasse: the people are growing tired and angry of the government's malevolent acts, while the country's multiple crises worsen.
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): Perpetrators-of-the-1988-massacre-Ebrahim-Raisi-Right-Gholamhossein-Mohseni-Ejei-Center-and-Hossein-Ali-Naieri-Left.
A henchman heads the Executive Branch
"A henchman heads the Executive Branch; an executioner and a notorious torturer named Eje'i heads the Judiciary Branch, and a bloodthirsty mullah is at the helm of the entire regime. Indeed, the squad of cannibals is now complete. The combination speaks for itself and hardly requires any other proof to indicate that the regime is in its final phase." She continued.
As a result, the hostility and enmity between the Iranian regime and society will intensify more than ever before in the new phase, just as the deposed Shah resorted to declaring martial law and appointing military General Gholamreza Az'hari as Prime Minister, but ended up with a result that was contrary to his expectations.
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): appointing military General Gholamreza Az'hari as Prime Minister.
Our asset is the army of youths who took to the streets in November 2019
Mrs. Rajavi emphasized, "Our asset is the army of youths who took to the streets in November 2019 and our strength comes from a nationwide network of Resistance Units that have been working continuously all year" In 2020, the MEK has multiplied their number of activities and operations compared to the previous year in order to break the oppressive rule.
The Iranian Resistance defends the right to autonomy for all oppressed ethnic groups within the system of Iran's unity and territorial integrity and raises the banner of just relations with its neighbors and the rest of the world based on respect for independence, national sovereignty, and mutual interests.
