Q: How to bind an ObservableCollection to a TreeView in a hierarchical way? I know this may be a duplicate but no solution works for me. So I have a class Technik which has these properties:
public class Technik
{
    public bool checkedTe { get; set; }

    public int TechnikID { get; set; }

    public string anlagengruppe { get; set; }

    public string techniktyp { get; set; }

    public string anlage { get; set; }

    public string bemerkung { get; set; }
}

Now I have a DataTable with 216 rows and each row is getting into a Technik object that is added into my ObservableCollection<Technik> like:
foreach (DataRow dr in dtTechnik.Rows)
{
     Technik technik = new Technik();

     technik.checkedTe = (bool)dr.ItemArray[0];
     technik.TechnikID = (int)dr.ItemArray[1];
     technik.anlagengruppe = (string)dr.ItemArray[2];
     technik.techniktyp = (string)dr.ItemArray[3];
     technik.anlage = (string)dr.ItemArray[4];
     technik.bemerkung = (string)dr.ItemArray[5];

     TechnikCollection.Add(technik);
}

I want to bind my ObservableCollection like:
* anlagengruppe
    * techniktyp
          *anlage
             * TechnikID

Right now I'm getting nowhere, so maybe you guys out there can help me.
Actual my tree view looks like this:
<TreeView x:Name="treeView" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="850" Margin="10,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="464"
          ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" ItemsSource="{Binding TechnicTable}">
    <TreeView.ItemTemplate>
        <HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding TechnicTable}">
            <TextBlock  Text="{Binding Path=anlagengruppe}" />
            <HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding techniktyp}" />
                </DataTemplate>
            </HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemTemplate>
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
    </TreeView.ItemTemplate>
</TreeView>

Edit:
Maybe some of you think that my tree view ItemsSource is not the correct collection, this is the right one, there is some more code where I change collections.

A: I am skeptical of this design. Why do you feel it's useful and helpful to the user to present a single object and its property values as if that object had some hierarchical structure to it?
If all you're trying to do is impose some visual structure on the user interface, that's easily done without using TreeView. For example:
class TableItem
{
    public string Property1 { get; set; }
    public string Property2 { get; set; }
    public string Property3 { get; set; }

    public TableItem() { }

    public TableItem(string property1, string property2, string property3)
    {
        Property1 = property1;
        Property2 = property2;
        Property3 = property3;
    }
}

class ViewModel
{
    public ObservableCollection<TableItem> TableItems { get; } = new ObservableCollection<TableItem>();
}

That said, if you must use TreeView and you want for the view to update as the collection is modified, it seems to me you can accomplish that by using an intermediate collection that implements INotifyCollectionChanged (easily done simply by inheriting ObservableCollection<T> and tracking the original collection. The intermediate collection is needed, so that items can be converted from the original single-object item to a hierarchical item type that can be used with the TreeView class. For example:
class HierarchicalTableItem
{
    public string Text { get; }
    public IReadOnlyList<HierarchicalTableItem> Items { get; }

    public HierarchicalTableItem(string text, HierarchicalTableItem child = null)
    {
        Text = text;
        Items = child != null ? new[] { child } : null;
    }

This alternative relies on three key classes:

*

*ConvertingObservableCollection<T> — This does the work of watching the original collection and presenting converted items according to the current state of that original collection.

*ConvertingCollectionConverter — This converts the original collection to the ConvertingObservableCollection<T> object for the purpose of binding to the TreeView.

*TableItemHierarchicalConverter — This converts the individual original item objects into a hierarchy of objects suitable for display in the TreeView.

Of course, there is also the simple container class HierarchicalTableItem which is used to represent the hierarchy for each table item.
Ultimately, the key to remember is that for a TreeView, you must be presenting items that have a recursive nature, such that a single HierarchicalDataTemplate element can be used to define how to present each level of the tree. This means that a single data item must have some property that can be used for the ItemsSource of the template, which is itself some type of collection of the same type of data item.


Theresa May will resign as United Kingdom's Prime if her Brexit deal is passed in British Parliament, a lawmaker of her party has said. The British Prime Minister made the remark while meeting her own MPs on Wednesday afternoon.
Brexit deal: Theresa May will resign as United Kingdom's Prime Minister if her Brexit deal is passed in Parliament, a lawmaker of her party has said. The British Prime Minister made the remark while meeting her own MPs on Wednesday afternoon. Theresa May's Europen Union divorce deal has been defeated twice in the past by embarrassingly high margins. May's announcement is being seen as her last-ditch attempt to persuade rebels in her Conservative party to back her. However, May is yet to announce a date for her resignation but she will certainly go, reports said.
But rebels in her party have refused to support her deal because they want a cleaner break.
On June 23, 2016, a historic referendum was held in the United Kingdom with two options whether to leave or remain in 29-member European Union. A total of 51.9 percent voters supported the UK's exit while 48.1 percent voted to be a part of the EU.
A turnout of 71.8 percent was recorded with more than 3 crore people participating in the referendum.
Among the four constituents of the UK, a percentage of 53.4 supported Brexit and 46.6 percent voted against it in England. Similarly, Wales voted for UK's exit from EU with 52.5 percent supporting the move while 47.5 percent wanted to remain in EU.
The maximum people in Northern Ireland and Scotland wanted to stay in the EU. In Northern Ireland and Scotland, a total of 55.8 percent and 62 percent their ballot in favour of UK's stay in the UK, while 44.2 percent and 38 per cent voted for Brexit.

Hello my lovely squishes, here we are another week. I have been under the weather so this report the angels are keeping short and sweet. I love when they take it easy on me. They want us to continue our work from last week on getting back to our authentic selves. They do say overall the pace of the next week will a little intense at times but nothing we cannot handle. It is a fun time of self-discovery, backed by impulses of energy from all the solar flares. Although we haven't had any more big big ones at the time of this report being written, there have been several moderate C class and a few M class flares thrown in for fun and to keep pushing us forward. So now off we go to the goodies for the week!
Friday through Sunday – This is a time to continue to uncover on an even deeper level who you are. Back to getting real now that you have peeled back the 1st layer. They want you to start communicating with either the angels, fairies, ascended masters etc…whoever you are most comfortable with speaking to on "the other side". Ask them to bring forth messages showing you even more it is that is the true you.
Monday & Tuesday is all about cutting the cords to the parts of you, that you know are not who you truly are. Who is the person you have pretended to be, knowing you are not. You know the perfect mom that can do it all and make it look easy…when really you are on the verge of a mental melt down from putting on a fake face for so long, or the perfect employee who always done more than asked, only to go home and drink of a bottle of wine to take the stress away. Be you, cut the cords. You will find yourself much more proactive and productive by being true to you. If you can't do it all you can't and you know what….it's is perfectly fine! No one is a perfect mold, but we are a perfect us!
Wednesday & Thursday, closing up the week it is all about streeeeeeetch it out baby! Stretch those new wings that are growing, do some yoga or dance. You have been doing a lot of healing and clearing and it is time for some play! Release those toxins and the junk that no longer serves you that has been buried so deep inside you it is hiding in your joints. So get out there and shake your booty, stretch out your arms and legs and have a mid-week dance party! Celebrate you, even if it is only a party of one….in my world a party is a party no matter how many attend it's all about the vibes and energy of those who do make it!
Well loves, this earth angel is off to get some chicken soup and kick back with the hubster while we kick the last bit of this virus out of here! Enjoy your week!!!!

Many companies have no plan for GDPR, because they do not believe that it will apply to them. That's a mistake.
I recently wrote about the considerable impacts that the Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will have on insurers. GDPR will touch virtually every function within insurance companies including IT, marketing, claims, pricing and underwriting, and fraud prevention.

Joey Claudio, Entreprenuer and a writer
Peter Lowes
Peter Lowes was born with an entrepreneurial spirit in a small town in Scotland. At a young age, he moved to the north of England, where he attended grammar school and college. Later on in life, Peter honed his skills in the restaurant industry and various other businesses and studied to become a Chartered Accountant.
In 1982, driven to pursue adventure and discover new opportunities, Peter embarked on a year-long journey aboard a 65-foot sailboat. After his ocean voyage, he arrived in Long Beach, California, where he began working in the investment real estate field. With a strong work ethic, integrity, and a passion for his work, he built a successful career at Preferred Real Estate Investments.
In 1994, Peter relocated to Bend, Oregon where he currently resides. In 1997, he founded Compass Commercial Real Estate Services with three partners. While growing this successful business, he continuously sought other opportunities to fuel his entrepreneurial passion.
In 2007, Peter founded the Lowes Group, a full-service residential, commercial and property management real estate company. In the second half of 2007, and with the help of local restaurateur Marcos Rodriguez, Peter founded the first Hola! Nouveau Mexican Peruvian restaurants. Since then, Peter and Marcos have opened six Hola! locations in total.
Building on the growth and success of their Hola! brand, Peter and Marcos joined forces with colleagues Jose Balcazar and Tony Levison, and in 2014 and introduced their take on the Northwest brewing trend with Tranquilo Mexican Style Ale. In 2015, Tranquilo was awarded a silver medal at the North American Brewers Association for best-tasting beer.
Also in 2015, Peter along with several partners founded Tokyo Starfish, a leading cannabis dispensary company in Oregon. Tokyo Starfish was recently awarded by Source Magazine as the best dispensary in Central Oregon for 2020. Currently, Peter and his partners are preparing to launch their fifth Tokyo Starfish location in Oregon, and have plans for further expansion in the future.
Since his year-long ocean voyage in the 1980s during which he witnessed a vast amount of ocean pollution, Peter has been an advocate for better environmental protection. In 2019 after consulting with friends, educators, and government officials, he launched TEA: a non-profit foundation that provides scholarships to students who are pursuing education in environmental studies and sciences, and also provides support to various environmentally conscious groups and causes. The organization's name, TEA, stands for "Teaching Environmental Awareness." It is also a reference to Peter's British heritage, as tea beloved in England (in addition to being the most widely-consumed beverage worldwide). Tea is also closely associated with a sense of community and calm.
How did you first get your start in environmental awareness advocacy?
At the age of seven, I joined the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Even at such a young age, I had the awareness that animals need our help. This understanding developed over the years and raised my desire to help protect the environment that animals live in.
How do you define environmental advocacy?
I define environmental advocacy as being concerned and passionate about protecting our natural world, which includes our oceans, lands, air, and wildlife. All of these are vital to our shared existence and prosperity on this planet.
What led to the decision to found Teaching Environmental Awareness?
Protecting the environment has been a concern of mine since I was a child. In 1982, I embarked on a year-long ocean journey and came across a distressing amount of ocean pollution. Developing a foundation to make a positive difference had always been in my mind, and then in 2019 when I had the time, resources, and network in place, I put the wheels in motion and launched TEA.
What could our readers do to lower their environmental impact?
There are many simple, practical, and highly effective things that your readers can do each day to lower their environmental impact. For example, they can reduce their meat consumption. They can use alternatives to plastics; especially single-use plastics like disposable water bottles. They can walk and bike more and drive less, and simply become more aware of their overall environmental footprint. The web is an excellent resource for learning how small changes to daily habits can have an enormous impact on the environment.
In your opinion, what are the greatest challenges facing the environment?
There are many challenges that we are facing. However, I would say the greatest obstacle is getting people to understand that we are in a crisis. I believe that some people think that the problem will somehow solve itself, or that it is being exaggerated. Neither of these are true. The problem is extremely real and serious, and it will only worsen unless we collectively do something about it.
What trends in the environmental activism world are you currently most excited by?
Although the challenges are significant, there are several trends that are positive and encouraging. Firstly, a growing number of people are switching — entirely or at least somewhat — to a plant-based diet. This lowers water and land use, reduces pollution, slows deforestation, reduces the destruction of topsoil, and reduces methane in the atmosphere. Secondly, more and more younger people are becoming environmentally aware and getting involved This is really exciting and gives me hope that our planet will heal. Thirdly, and also very exciting, is the introduction and growth of many environmental advocacy groups that focus on everything from protecting sea turtles, bees, and whales, to raising awareness of melting ice caps or the pollution in our oceans.
Where do you see your foundation, Teaching Environmental Awareness, being in 5 years?
My hope is TEA can travel across the United States and abroad, and influence even more people on a global scale.
What's next for Peter Lowes and TEA?
We continue to educate people from all walks of life, and across all cultures. Our core message is that even small changes in daily life can make a big positive difference for our planet, and our future. However, we cannot delay. The time to act is right now.

From Global Voices: On Nov. 26, the Kirov district court of Kazan, which is the capital of the Republic of Tartastan, convicted Irek Murtazin, a 45-year-old journalist and blogger, of defamation and incitement to hatred, reports Gazeta.ru [RUS]. The court sentenced Murtazin to one year and nine months of imprisonment in a penal colony (a form of imprisonment where convicts live not in a jail but in a special colony for prisoners).
About a year ago, in Dec. 2008, Murtazin - former head of Shaimiev's press service and currently an opposition blogger, aka lj-user irek-murtazin [RUS] - was accused of defamation against Mintimir Shaimiev, President of Tatarstan. On Sept. 12, 2008, Murtazin published a post in which he mentioned a piece of gossip about Shaimiev's death.
The rumor of Shaimiev's death was disproven on the same day, but the shares of the oil company allegedly owned by the representatives of the so-called "Shaimiev clan" dropped significantly, says Lenta.ru [RUS]. In Dec. 2008, Murtazin was officially accused of defamation and infringement upon personal inviolability of Shaimiev (It is important to note that the court acquitted Murtazin only on this latter charge).
The trial lasted almost a year, and prosecution kept adding new accusations, blaming Murtazin for defamation and libel not only on his blog, but also in Murtazin's book "Mintimir Shaimiev: The Last President of Tatarstan. Part 1″ as well as in his news bulletin "Our Kazan News" ("Наши казанские вести," which Murtazin described [RUS] in Oct. 2008 as a "print digest" of his LiveJournal blog).
Murtazin said he didn't agree with the verdict and would file an appeal.
Photographs from the trial are available here.

Many of the Vancouver art galleries showcase several types of art and very few showcase only photography. I have collected a list of many of the galleries that display fine art photographs, it's definitely not every gallery in the city so if you know of another one please leave a comment below.
Roam Gallery is committed to showcasing original works by emerging artists (Painters, Photographers, Mixed Media and Sculptors). We are a pay to show gallery and specialize in hosting group shows.
PhotoHaus gallery showcases local photographers both amateur and professional. There are often group shows with the occasional opening featuring a single artist.

The Back Gallery Project, which started as a protégé of the Monte Clark Gallery, brings an informal part-gallery-part-studio environment within an intimate setting for experiencing art in a friendly and creative environment.

Federal district court judge Patricia Seitz has struck down the state's "Travel Act" from last year that interfered with faculty who used non-state money to travel to Cuba and several other countries. This was a federal lawsuit sponsored by the ACLU and where several UFF members were plaintiffs. There is a separate state lawsuit that UFF filed that is working its way through the process as well, and I am hopeful from this decision that at least one of those lawsuits will settle in the issue in favor of academic freedom.
United Faculty of Florida is representing several faculty members who filed individual grievances July 11 in response to the reorganization of Academic Affairs. The grievants are from the colleges of Arts and Sciences and Business Administration.
A resolution approved at a chapter meeting this spring opposed unilateral reorganizations that went beyond what was necessary for budget cuts, and the chapter notified both the administration and the Board of Trustees that reorganizations required more discussion and consultation and that the process of reorganization should be separated from the timeline for budget cuts. A letter to the provost this spring from the majority of chairs in Arts and Sciences expressed parallel concerns and made a similar request for more measured deliberations about reorganization.
Instead of responding to the concerns of CAS chairs and the chapter, the provost announced reorganization as a fait accompli June 12, without giving the entire faculty in affected colleges an opportunity to provide input on either the specifics or the general shape of the reorganization.
"Only a minority of faculty in the affected colleges thinks that both the process and the results of reorganization were appropriate," chapter president Sherman Dorn said. "At least a substantial plurality of faculty thinks that either the process or the results are inappropriate.
While more UFF members in the affected colleges might want to participate, the collective bargaining agreement requires that grievances be filed within 30 days of a contractual violation. July 11 represented the "safe date" deadline after the reorganization's announcement on June 12, and grievances were filed though many who might want to join were out of town.
At yesterday's meeting, the USF chapter of the United Faculty of Florida agreed to sponsor the visit of Michael Bérubé to campus as part of the fall membership activities. Bérubé has agreed to come, give a public lecture, and also talk with both faculty and graduate-assistant activists and union members. While the exact dates of Bérubé's public talk and other events are not set yet, it will be in the early part of the week of September 22-26.
Michael Bérubé is Paterno Professor in English Literature and Science, Technology, and Society and the author of What's Liberal about the Liberal Arts?, Higher Education under Fire, Rhetorical Occasions, The Employment of English, and Life as We Know It, among his books. He is also a member of the National Council of the American Association of University Professors.


HAZARD, Ky. (Aug. 8, 2017) – U.S. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers (KY-05) and the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet (EEC) today announced five grants worth more than $5 million to spur economic development and job creation in Eastern Kentucky.
Breathitt County Fiscal Court has been given preliminary approval for a $1.95 million grant towards the development of its South Fork elk view water line, and campground. The Hazard Community and Technical College (HCTC) has also received preliminary approval for a $1.15 million grant to create a utility training program at its Leslie County campus in Hyden, Ky.
Both projects were unveiled at the Kentucky River Area Development District (ADD) office in Hazard, Ky. by Congressman Rogers, who championed $195 million in federal funding for the AML Pilot program over the last two years. The announcements are part of a joint effort with Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR), a grassroots effort to revitalize the future of Eastern Kentucky.
Joining Congressman Rogers today were state Representatives Chris Fugate, Tim Couch and Toby Herald, as well as Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Charles Snavely and Jared Arnett, Executive Director of SOAR.
Also announced were $2 million in U. S. Army Corps of Engineers grants for three infrastructure projects in Eastern Kentucky. These included $1 million for a water line extension for a federal prison at Roxanna in Letcher County, $500,000 to build three miles of sewer mains and pumping stations in Leslie County, and $500,000 to replace sewer pipes and manholes in Knott County.
The Breathitt County project will include trail rides for horses and off-highway vehicles, as well as both primitive and RV camping.
The HCTC utility training program in Hyden will provide substation maintenance, drone operation and crane operator training to displaced miners, among others and in so doing add significant dollars to the local economy through good-paying jobs. This will provide workforce training to residents living in Leslie, Clay, Harlan, Bell, Laurel, and Jackson counties.
The South Fork elk view water line and campground and the utility training are part of Kentucky's $30 million portion of the federal AML Pilot program, first funded in 2016 through the U.S. Office of Surface Mining and Reclamation Enforcement (OSMRE), to help revive communities in coal-producing states hardest hit by the downturn of the coal industry in recent years.
Kentucky's 2017 AML Pilot Program granting period opened on August 4, 2017. Application forms for project submittals can be found at AMLPILOT or by calling or emailing Mr. Bob Scott, Director, KY Division of Abandoned Mine Lands, 300 Sower Blvd., Frankfort, KY 40601. 502-782-6761, BobF.Scott@ky.gov.

Co-Working spaces are all the trend today, harnessing a conducive working space with instant networking opportunities and a multitude of unexpected encounters that provides nearly immeasurable amounts of value for new businesses that are difficult to recreate in traditional office settings.
Starting up conversations to spread brand awareness around the coffee machines and printers are common, however, BIPO China went one step further to promote the BIPO name by offering free health check-ups done by the In-House Professional Dr Yan, to all fellow we-work members! Each check-up focused on three main components: Body Fat count, blood density and blood pressure. In 2 weeks, BIPO China covered all 4 WeWork locations in Shanghai having at least 200-300 companies shared amongst them in total. Apart from the free check-up, BIPO China offered a promotional medical bundle which extended medical services not only to the member, but the member's family as well. The event not only increased sales and brand awareness, it was great opportunity for networking and the beginning of friendships from some. It was a win for BIPO China Team!

The thought of trekking the globe, one destination at a time, may sound appealing. But one of the biggest problems travelers face when planning their worldwide adventure is the hefty price tag. Money, whether we like it or not, dictates much of our travels. Afterall, it buys our flights, our hotels and many of our experiences.
However, it is possible to stretch our limited resources and still experience the best of what the world has to offer on our travels. While many think that exploring the African continent will automatically be expensive, it isn't really the case. If Africa is on your bucket list, pack your bags and tick it off now. We'll show you how to travel to Africa on a budget with these useful tips!
Before you plan your trip and book your accommodation in Africa, do a little research of the destination you are traveling to and find out when their peak season is. Traveling during peak season can be costly as everything becomes more expensive then. Prices will rise for not only fights and accommodation, but also popular activities such as safari tours and culinary adventures. Instead of fighting your way through the crowds during peak season, explore the less busy side of Africa and visit during off-peak season!
There are generally two seasons in Africa – rainy and dry season. In most cases, dry season is peak season as that is when safari sightings are most successful, and off-peak season is rainy season.
If going on a safari is what brings you to Africa, it is best to take note that rain in Africa is often intermittent, leaving you plenty of hours of sunshine to explore. While sightings of the more precocious animals may be challenging, expert African guides will be able to help you track down plenty of other African species including the big five and a large variety of birds.
West Africa – If you are traveling to countries in the western region including Ghana, Gabon and Mali, the dry season lasts from November to April. Southwest Africa experience rainy season from April to July and from September to October. Northwest Africa has one rainy season from July to September.
East Africa – East Africa is home to popular safari destinations such as the Maasai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Dry season in this part of Africa lasts from July to September and is arguably the best time to visit East Africa. However, one can still visit East Africa during the wetter seasons and be mesmerized by wildlife there.
East Africa experiences a major rainy season from April to June and then a smaller one from October to December. If you are looking to trek gorillas in Uganda, avoid going between April and June where flooding frequently occurs. Instead, visit between October to December where crowds are smaller and rain is less heavy.
Southern Africa – The southern region of Sub-Saharan Africa experiences dry season from April to October where the mornings are sunny and the nights are cool. Rainy season goes from November to March. The rainy season is the best time to visit Botswana for avid birdwatchers as the country's Okavango Delta transforms into lush greenery that attracts a vast variety of bird species.
Contrary to popular belief, safaris don't necessarily have to be experienced from a jeep, with a guide and driver transporting you from one location to another at all times. There are other, and often cheaper, ways to go on a safari than you might think!
A great alternative to the classic safari route is to go on a walking safari tour. Not only is a walking safari cheaper for the more obvious reason of not needing the use of a vehicle, walking safari provides you with the opportunity of truly immersing yourself with nature. On a walking safari, you get the chance to get up close and personal with wildlife, which often is the perfect opportunity for an excellent photo! Walking safaris are also often more intimate in nature as the groups are usually smaller.
Camping safaris are also a great safari experience with many camping safari tours available in Kruger National Park, South Africa and Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. Spend your night sleeping under the spectacular display of stars deep in the African savannah – an experience of a lifetime!
Use local buses where you can, buy local produce and participate in local activities within the community. When choosing an accommodation, choose one in a local suburb, typically where locals reside. These options are usually cheaper than staying at famous tourist areas and will help you keep within your travel budget.
For a great African experience, volunteer at the local community. Here, you will get to truly understand the lives of the locals and make an impact. While most known volunteer programs are comes with a hefty price tag, there are some that are free.
If you are traveling with family, eating out all the time can become costly. To minimize cost of food, dine in when you can. Buying groceries in bulk at the local supermarket and cooking them yourself not only helps you save on expenses, it also helps you ensure that your food is clean and safe for consumption. This will help you avoid costly medical bills that you may incur should you have the unfortunate experience of contracting foodborne illnesses.
Cooking together is also a great way to spend time with the family and having meaningful experiences instead of having to go through the hassle of ensuring the kids are well behaved when dining out.
If you're planning to visit more than one African country during your travels, save on flights by traveling on road and driving your own vehicle. This is especially cost-savvy if you are traveling in a group of four or more as you would then be able to rent a vehicle collectively rather than paying for individual fares on flights, buses or taxis.
Navigating through Africa on your own isn't as challenging as you may think. Most roads in South Africa and Namibia are tarred and well-maintained, making your ride smooth and easy. Self-driving through Africa will allow you more flexible time to explore the continent and let you set your own schedule. Driving on your own during peak season in Africa may also save you money, as you don't have to pay inflated transportation fees. Practicing common road safety will ensure that your trip is successful one! Want more bang for your buck? Hire a caravan so you don't have to spend on accommodation too!
Looking for a classic safari trip to Kenya minus the hefty price tag? Choose a budget safari in Kenya!

by Manuel L. Quezon III
Our traditional allies in the Mindanao peace process are Indonesia and Libya, Muslim nations that, however, have long established ties of friendship (in the case of Indonesia) and an appreciation of the secular framework of our republic (in the case of Libya). Our traditional antagonist, on the other hand, is Malaysia, whose birth as a nation the Philippines and Indonesia opposed because of the two nation's claims concerning North Borneo.
The Sabah question led the Philippines to support Indonesia's policy of Konfrontasi with Malaysia and the botched effort by the Marcos administration to provoke Sabah's secession from Malaysia led, in turn, to Malaysian support for the Moro secessionist movement.
When Libya brokered a peace deal during the Marcos years with the MNLF (more interested in a Moro homeland on secular, ethnic lines), Malaysia lost a useful instrument to keep the Philippine government busy fighting secessionists at home, which prevented a revival of Philippine efforts to annex Sabah.
But then a split took place within the Moro nationalist ranks. Another bloc emerged, organized along Islamic lines — the MILF. And so, the Philippine government has had to pursue the peace process in Mindanao on two fronts: with the MNLF, which has obtained observer status in the Organization of Islamic Countries, and with the MILF, which has been less successful in obtaining a similar level of recognition from the OIC.
This provided an opportunity for Malaysia — and helps explain the closeness between the MILF and the Malaysian government. MILF chief peace negotiator Mohagher Iqbal told Newsbreak that as far as his organization's concerned, Malaysia's "irreplaceable," and "a vital partner." Political Science professor Rizal G. Buendia wrote some years back, in "The GRP-MILF Peace Talks: Quo Vadis? " that "While the MILF is currently engaged in peace negotiations as the only 'peaceful, civilized, and democratic way of solving the Bangsamoro problem', it repeatedly emphasizes that independence is the main agenda and framework for the formal talks. 'There is no point to proceed if the negotiations will not lead to independence', declared the MILF negotiators. The sustained effort towards gathering popular support for a UN- and OIC-supervised referendum, following the East Timor's (now Timor-Leste) case, is a move to achieve independence using the institution and process of democracy. For the MILF, the conduct of a referendum is one of the options or mechanisms that it can utilize outside of the peace talks. It is the exercise of the 'plebiscitary right to secede'."
Viewed from the perspective of the Philippines' traditional allies in the peace process — Indonesia and Libya — it's interesting to note that the MILF sees no reason to introduce Indonesia as a facilitator in the ongoing peace talks as a substitute for Malaysia. The closeness of the MILF to Malaysian authorities has obviously influenced this view, because Malaysia is wary of Indonesia, whose Kalimantan provinces comprise the largest portion of Borneo.
And Malaysia itself has demonstrated that it prefers to monopolize dealings with the MILF. It rejected the idea that USIP, an American Federal institution, getting involved in the RP-MILF negotiations. Cultivating the MILF prevents Malaysia from being frozen out of any potential resolution of the decades-old Moro rebellion in Mindanao.
Malaysia's national interest requires its ultimate aim to be the protection of its sovereignty over Sabah, with its vast natural resources and relatively low population. It is not in Malaysia's interest to have a situation where peace is established, if it results in a Moro government not friendly to Malaysia, or at least susceptible to its influence.
Just recently, the Malaysian government announced that another part of Borneo, Sarawak has been identified as the country's future rice bowl. The Asia Sentinel reports that nearly half of Sarawak's territory has been earmarked for transformation into rice paddies. Malaysia's vital strategic interest in protecting its Borneo territories has therefore increased, adding the dimension of food security.
A buffer zone, composed of an autonomous Muslim Mindanao region where the influence of the Philippine government can be held at bay, is what serves Malaysia's interests, and not necessarily peace. Malaysia will support peace talks if their objective is in harmony with the country's self-interest: any deviation from that, and Malaysia might much rather prefer to keep things in a state of perpetual negotiation. This means that if it needs to, in a sense, shake things up by diplomatic posturing, it will do so, regardless of how this affects the Philippines.
Malaysia's announced it's prepared to withdraw from the RP-MILF peace process and, by so doing, has jolted our government into frantically appealing for Malaysia to stay involved. An appeal echoed by the MILF, for obvious reasons: the MILF's ultimate ace in the hole is the threat of resuming active hostilities; Malaysia's card to play is that ditching the peace process will confront the Philippine government with a resumption of fighting, which complicates its relationship with the United States, and ongoing efforts to develop Mindanao.
And it's well worth pondering, at this point, that the advantages Malaysia and the MILF enjoy at present are entirely the doing of our government. The Philippines brought Malaysia into the peace process; it contributed to strengthening the MILF's bargaining position by accepting that Malaysia would serve as the MILF's patron in the peace talks. Our government, trying to please everyone, pleases no one and hasn't brought peace any closer after several years of increasing Malaysian influence in the peace talks.

CC holds on for 3-1 home win over Huskies
COLORADO SPRINGS – One too many mistakes, a hot goalie and a disallowed goal handed St. Cloud State a tough loss, 3-1, at No. 8-ranked Colorado College on Friday night
The Huskies dominated the final 40 minutes, but squandered two big scoring opportunities in the third period before CC junior Scott Winkler's empty netter with 5.6 seconds remaining sealed the Tigers' win before 6,736 fans at the Colorado Springs World Arena.
CC goalie Josh Thorimbert's left leg pad save with 8:38 left on SCSU freshman Nick Oliver during a breakaway kept CC ahead 2-1. It was the biggest of his 32 saves.
"You have to credit their goalie," said Huskies head coach Bob Motzko. "He may have stolen one for them tonight. That was probably the best we've played for two straight periods."
Earlier, David Eddy's shot clanged off the post 88 seconds into the third during one of the Huskies' three power plays that period. Later, the Huskies (8-11-4, 5-7-3 Western Collegiate Hockey Association) couldn't capitalize on a 6-on-4 advantage with a late power play and freshman goalie Ryan Faragher (23 saves, 12 in the first period) pulled with 1:31 left.
It was far too close for Tigers head coach Scott Owens' comfort.
"We didn't have that killer instinct," he said. "We let a good team hang around and it came down to a couple big penalty kills and our goaltending."
The win pushed the third-place Tigers (13-7-1, 10-5-0) within two points of second-place Minnesota, which lost 2-1 at North Dakota earlier.
The Huskies battled back in the second period behind a power-play goal by sophomore defenseman Nick Jensen, his fifth score of the season. Travis Novak helped screen Thorimbert, who was unable to glove the slap shot by Jensen.
SCSU had appeared to tie the game at 2-2 with 3:18 left in the second period when Andrew Prochno's stick came to rest on the back of Thorimbert's helmet as a teammate's shot caromed in off the right post.
"He hooked my helmet and pulled my head down so I told the referee immediately and they reviewed it," Thorimbert said.
The goal was waved off after 3:27 of video review by the officials, who ruled that Prochno's stick didn't amount to goalie interference, but it was enough to negate the score.
"That was a pretty ticky-tack call,"Motzko said.
St. Cloud State was unable to shake off the rust from another weekend off quickly and the Tigers' second line, centered by captain Nick Dineen, took advantage to stake CC to a 2-0 lead.
A turnover forced by Winkler and controlled by defenseman Mike Boivin led to a breakaway for Alexander Krushelnyski, who scored his sixth of the season when his hard shot trickled between Faragher's leg pads for a 1-0 lead with 11:31 left in the opening period.
Dineen scored the eventual game-winner when he banged home a rebound off a shot by Krushelnyski with 4:48 left in the period.
"It shows how fragile we are," Motzko said. "On that second goal, we made a turnover and it cost us. We were unable to battle back for the win. My Lord, we had three power plays, and a goal disallowed with the score 2-1."

Stepping into virtual reality with Cancer Research UK
Continuing our longstanding collaboration, we have been working with Cancer Research UK over the past couple of months to explore the world of virtual reality.
Having previously designed their homepage back in 2013, we once again partnered with the charity to assist them with creating a virtual tour of their labs - a first for the charity sector. We paired with interactive developers, Surround Vision; and virtual reality solutions company, Vitae VR, to produce a three and a half minute tour. Our creative team were charged with creating the story and creative vision for the tour and project managed the overall development of the video. Moving from basic biology to clinical trials, the video uses virtual reality technology to deliver a 360-degree, immersive viewing experience from the Manchester Institute.
The tour gives viewers the opportunity to see how money from supporters helps life-saving research first-hand. Holograms are used throughout the tour to enhance the narrative, and viewers can also interact with a microscope and look at the type of cell samples, from a piece of tissue to inside the nucleus of a single cancer cell, that Cancer Research UK uses to discover and test new treatments.
Cancer Research UK gives around 10,000 of their supporters the opportunity to see inside one of their 20 research centres and institutes each year, but they can only be offered to a limited number of people. They hope to make their lab tours accessible to the public using a free mobile app, giving everyone the opportunity to find out more about their work from the comfort of their homes.
Although still in the early stages of being tested, feedback has been extremely positive. Michael Docherty, director of digital at Cancer Research UK said:
"We are hugely excited to be using this virtual reality to bring to life our vital research. Cancer Research UK does not receive any government funding and relies on the generosity of the public to help us bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. This virtual lab tour is another way in which we are bringing the public and our supporters closer to that life-saving research, while continuing to lead the sector in exploring and adopting innovative technology."
We're really proud to be working with Cancer Research UK again on such an interesting and important project. From a technical point of view, we're excited to be working with cutting edge products that will help further the charity's work.
Cancer Research UK will be testing the technology at a number of public events in the coming weeks for people to experience the virtual tour. For further information about Cancer Research UK's work or to find out how to support the charity, please call 0300 123 1022 or visit www.cancerresearchuk.org.

Conlon, Chicago Symphony Orchestra serve up powerful Prokofiev
Thu Jul 16, 2009 at 4:14 pm
By Lawrence A. Johnson
Are there any more divergent musical opposites than Serge Prokofiev and Robert Schumann? The German composer's life and art virtually define Romanticism in his guileless flow of spontaneous passion even when the inspiration wasn't always matched by thematic memorability (the Violin Concerto) or structural cohesion (Scenes from Goethe's Faust). Prokofiev, conversely, also had a ready fount of melody yet often fell back on a calculated technical brilliance and superficial glitz that failed to mask the lack of deeper values.
Two masterworks by both composers were served up by James Conlon and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Wednesday evening at Ravinia.
The ballet Romeo and Juliet, and the best of his concertos may be more frequently performed, but Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5 is, arguably, the composer's finest composition in any genre. Written in 1944, the Fifth is a powerful, idiosyncratic work imbued with heroic grandeur yet without sacrificing the composer's essential metallic edge and cynical bite.
Unlike say, Shostakovich's wildly overpraised Leningrad Symphony, Prokofiev's Fifth manages to both reflect and transcend its time. The composer's dissonant, sharply rhythmic style takes elements of the 1920s Futurist movement while morphing into a more personal and chromatic language. The Soviets, somewhat encouraged by Prokofiev, embraced the symphony as reflecting the strength and future of the New Soviet Man, yet there is an unmistakable wry undercurrent throughout the symphony, most manifest in the coda's bombastic triumph overtaken by relentlessly busy mechanistic counterpoint.
Conlon had a firm sense of the music, and drew a daunting powerful performance from the CSO Wednesday, a concert that, unfortunately, had plenty of empty pavilion seats. What wasn't always apparent in this interpretation was a sense of the music's depths. The opening Andante's sense of gathering strength and the music rising out of darkness and wartime privation was rather superficially skated over.
The performance gathered force as it continued, with the headlong energy of the driving Allegro marcato having the right sense of unbridled momentum. Again, the deeper shadows of the Adagio weren't quite plumbed by Conlon, yet the finale made the requisite payoff, the thuderous final bars being equally thrilling and terrifying as the machine spins out of control. The CSO was at their finest in all sections, with special note of the violins' staggering bravura and John Bruce Yeh's characterful clarinet work throughout.
Garrick Ohlsson has been a popular Ravinia guest for nearly three decades, and made his fourteenth appearance at the Highland Park festival as soloist in Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor.
Ohlsson is one of our finest Chopin, Beethoven, and Rachmaninoff players, possessed of a poetic sensibility allied to a steel-fingered technique that makes even the most knuckle-busting showpieces seem like child's play.
While his performance of Schumann's concerto displayed characteristic grace and refinement, Ohlsson didn't seem himself Wednesday with a few minor but surprising digital slips in the first movement. Also the soloist never appeared quite in synch with Schumann's Eusebius side, his playing rather loud and overemphatic, missing out on the gentler expression and fantasy in the Intermezzo. The final Allegro had the requisite energy and buoyant swing, but by Ohlsson's standard this was an admirable rather than a memorable performance. Despite fine playing by the orchestra, Conlon's accompaniment alternated unconvincingly between fussy detailing and generalized garrulity.
When Daniel Burnham died in 1912, the Chicago Symphony performed Siegfried's Funeral Music in tribute to the visionary architect. In a nice bit of historical resonance, Wednesday's program marked the centennial of Burnham's Plan of Chicago by opening with a reprise of the Gotterdammerung excerpt, Conlon drawing a taut, powerful reading.

Top-Ranked Colleges Spend Their Money Differently From the Rest. Here's How.
Published by The Chronicle of Higher Education
Look to the top of the U.S. News & World Report college rankings, and you'll find public universities that tend to spend a greater share of their budgets on managing human resources and research. Move down the list, and you'll see institutions that put more of their payroll dollars toward soliciting donations and marketing their campuses. So says a recent paper analyzing universities' labor costs.
The paper is among the first fruits of a broader effort by a consortium of university administrators and researchers that is sharing financial data to better compare spending among institutions. But it is not, warns Paul N. Friga, the Chapel Hill business professor behind the research, a recipe for colleges hoping to engineer rises up the rankings.
Instead, Friga said, the correlations he found between universities' rankings and their budgeting priorities could be indicators of the different challenges facing different universities.
Take spending on communications, for example, which Friga found correlates negatively with ranking. By virtue of their outsize profiles, better-ranked colleges may be able to harness more free attention from the media, prospective students, and alumni than, say, regional public universities without football teams or billionaire benefactors. Top colleges might not need to spend as much of their budgets on press aides or patron handlers because applications and donation checks will be in the mail regardless, Friga says.
The same goes for the share of spending on student services, which had an equally strong negative correlation with ranking. Lower-ranked institutions tend to be less selective, so their students might need more advisers and counselors, Friga suggested.
The strongest correlation of all was a positive one: Friga's analysis found that universities with better U.S. News & World Reportrankings in 2018 devoted a greater share of spending on staffing in human resources in 2014, the year Friga looked at to allow a lag time for effect. Those institutions also tended to put more of their budgets toward research administration, finance, and information technology. Unsurprisingly, universities that spent more nonfaculty payroll dollars per student generally had better 2018 U.S. News rankings, the researcher found.
Friga cautions readers against making industrywide generalizations based on his work, in part because of the limited sample size of his analysis. (Thirteen public universities contributed data.) Correlation is not causation, he says, so colleges should not rush to spend less of their budgets on student services or development.
Richard A. Hesel, principal at Art & Science Group LLC, a Maryland-based consultancy, calls the benchmarking project "a good start." Greater participation from both public and private colleges could also yield important knowledge about the challenges facing different types of institutions, he said. Further analysis of payroll spending should control for a range of factors, like colleges' endowment size or discount rate, Hesel says.

On March 10 there is a workshop in Columbus, Ohio.
South Carolina has over 1,000 Sertoma members, yet there's no workshop in the state. Raleigh is at least a four-hour drive for many of us; I doubt that many members from my district will be willing to spend eight hours in a car to attend.

Q: match data from row to another row in csv file using php? I am newbie in php. Can this be possible to be done?? the script role is to find the match in another row but not on the same column...
the .csv file
**first row**            **second row**         **third row**

  This is for NNMM        NN/MM@000-45NNMM;1      2001
  AA/BB@000-45AABB;2      -----                   2002
  NN/MM@000-45NNMM;2      -----                   2003
  This is for XXYY        XX/YY@000-45XXYY;1      2004
  LL/QQ@000-45LLQQ;2      -----                   2005
  WW/KK@000-45WWKK;2      -----                   2006
  CC/DD@000-45CCDD;2      -----                   2005
  PP/SS@000-45PPSS;2      -----                   2006
  This is for AABB        AA/BB@000-45AABB;1      2007
  XX/YY@000-45XXYY;2      -----                   2008
  This is for PPSS        PP/SS@000-45PPSS;1      2009
  This is for CCDD        CC/DD@000-45CCDD;1      2010

in first row: there are 5 fields the last char in string is "2".(i.e.AA/BB@000-45AABB;2)
in second row: there are 5 fields the last char in string is "1".(i.e.AA/BB@000-45AABB;1)
now i want to do a matching script where the first row find the match in 2ndrow.. and display the data from first row which the match is found... hope it makes sense...
desired output
  This is for NNMM        NN/MM@000-45NNMM;1      2001
  This is for XXYY        XX/YY@000-45XXYY;1      2004
  This is for AABB        AA/BB@000-45AABB;1      2007
  This is for PPSS        PP/SS@000-45PPSS;1      2009
  This is for CCDD        CC/DD@000-45CCDD;1      2010

i have started a script but stuck working out with the logic...
$file  = fopen('sample.csv', 'r');
echo "
";
while (($line = fgetcsv($file)) !== FALSE) {
    list( $row1, $row2, $row3) = $line;

        echo "
";
        echo "$row1	";
        echo"$row2	";
        echo "$row3	";
        echo "
";

}
echo "
";

A: It is propably not best tool for that, but I tried to do it with regex, and I know it is ugly, but try it out:
(?|(?:([A-Z]{2}\/[A-Z]{2}@\d{3}-\d{2}([A-Z]{4});)(1))(?=(?:.|\n)+?(\d{4})(?:.|\n)+\1(?:2))|(?:([A-Z]{2}\/[A-Z]{2}@\d{3}-\d{2}([A-Z]{4});)2)(?=(?:.|\n)+(?:\1(1))(?:.|n)+?(\d{4})))

DEMO
Relevant data is in groups, so you can use something like: "This is for $2\t$1$3\t$4" to get data you want. In substitution part of my demo, you can see the output (but it only replace matched parts and the the rest of umatched text is still there, but it is just to see how such output could look).

A: use a do while() instead of while sorry can't write the code for you
and you have to use if statements also if ($row1 == $row1) {then do this}
