Nobody felt that web which started in the mid 1990's would have such a splendid future, that it will in the end hold such a ground-breaking sway on our lives. Web which is fundamentally a worldwide arrangement of interconnected systems was made to serve billions of individuals overall independent of cast; doctrine or religion has today supplanted numerous standard traditions of our day by day lives. There is nothing unexpected to the way that a large portion of the customary media has likewise been reshaped.
For example paper distributing has been rebuilt to Web Sites, blogging and web sustains. When everything began, individuals were distrustful about the entire thought of web not to mention disregard the news being redesigned. Yet, starting at now there are over a hundred million sites with billions of pages. Individuals are consistently changing to online media for news and amusement related substance, the reason being that no one needs to pay for a thing that he/she can get enemy free effectively. Therefore there is a consistent droop (counting some genuine huge players of the business) in the offers of the print versions of papers.
The online news destinations frequently convey content that has a place with a specific land region however nobody is whining. For example online doors like India Report present select substance from India. This sort of inclusion gives the fundamental center which is required for such news related purposes and decision to individuals. The guarantee is reflected in the stimulation and sports segment of these destinations where the recordings also are from nearby milieu remembering the interests and inclinations of individuals.
They constantly draw in their group of onlookers by the methods for surveys, pulling in consideration with web journals and have an eye-getting photograph display. Concerning amusement these gateways offer the substance to the client whenever it might suit them and in a completely clear configuration with brilliant sound quality making client experience an energizing one. The print and the electronic media have their assignment removed. The online media have time going for them and there is no ceasing them in not so distant future too.


Dina Kowal Creative: Flower Soft Sprinkle Challenge: Think Snow!
Flower Soft Sprinkle Challenge: Think Snow!
--visit the Flower Soft forum over at Splitcoast Stampers or participate in one of our Flower Soft Sprinkle challenges, posted on SCS on Wednesdays, using Flower Soft products - if you don't have any fluffy stuff, you could start with one of the downloads! There are lots to choose from.
--register over at Flower Soft TV - 6 winners are drawn weekly - I even won last week!
For my card I used a Charlie's Ark stamp set called I Love Snow - I stamped the main image in Dark Brown chalk ink (Colorbox) and watercolored the image using Espresso dye ink (Ranger) lifted from the lid of my inkpad. The base of my card uses a technique that goes by different names, but involves laying down strips of scrap paper at parallel and perpendicular angles. I have a tutorial HERE... it's a fun and easy technique, and great for beginners, too! It's one I often teach when I have students come wanting to learn "how to make cards".
I used Polar White Flower Soft mixed with Ultrafine Sand on the ground and the ruff of Charlie's hood, and Crystal Lacquer on the snowball and drips. For the scene, the Polar White was a little 'too' white, so the Sand helped break up the brightness a bit. The ribbon is rayon seam binding dyed with tea and Glimmer Mist... not sure why it looks pink in the picture!
We'd love to have you join us for the challenge over at SCS if you have some Flower Soft products to play with! There is always a prize up for grabs! Be sure to take a peek at the other team members' blogs and see what inspiration you can find!
Also - just saw this special deal from Flower Soft - you can purchase 4 sets of retired Flower Soft stamps for just $12.99! These are beautiful scenic stamps - a wheelbarrow, fence, bench, and dovecote, with accent stamps in each set, at a 75% discount!
I love the color (or lack of) on this card. TFS this, I'm going to have a try at making one like this.

The Kanata Lasers were a Junior "A" ice hockey team from Ottawa, Ontario, in Canada.  They are a part of the Central Canada Hockey League. The Lasers played their home games at The Tom Flood Arena located inside the Kanata Rec Complex in Kanata, Ontario.

Team history
The Kanata Valley Lasers began play in the Central Junior Hockey League in 1987-88 when an expansion franchise was granted to Kanata, Ontario, which was then a separate suburb of Ottawa. During their first 15 years as the Valley Lasers, the team never missed the playoffs, had the same head coach, Archie Mulligan, won 2 Art Bogart Cup championships in 1992 and 1997 won the Fred Page Cup in 1997.

In May 2002, the Kanata Sports Club sold the Kanata Valley Lasers to Dynasty Flooring Inc. The new ownership refurbished the team, renamed them the Kanata Stallions, and moved from the Jack Charron Arena to the Kanata Recreation Centre. To date, the Stallions have yet to finish in the top 5 and make the CJHL finals. In fact, in the 2004 playoffs, the Stallions upset the Cumberland Grads in seven games to advance to the semi-finals, but lost to the Nepean Raiders in six games. It was the only time to date that the Stallions made it past the first round of the playoffs. The Stallions missed the playoffs multiple times in recent years.

Kanata named former NHL player Chris Valentine as head coach for 2008-09, but was fired in October after a slow start. He was replaced with Vince Millette. The Stallions broke a CJHL record recently with a 26-game losing streak, breaking the 25 game losing streak held by the 1994-1995 Cumberland Grads.

In April 2010, it was announced that the Kanata Stallions would host the 2012 Fred Page Cup at the Kanata Recreation Centre. In the summer of 2011, head coach Adam Dewan was relieved of his duties. Randy Pierce took over the coaching helm, but was fired in February, leaving Corey Foster to replace him to finish the 2011-12 season. In March 2012, the Stallions missed the playoffs when they failed to win their last key games. Despite this, the Stallions' season was not done- being hosts, the team was given a shot at the Fred Page Cup. Battling against all odds, the Stallions were able to make the semi-finals in the tournament, only to fall to the Bogart Cup Champions and eventual tournament runner-up, the Nepean Raiders.

In Fall 2013, the Kanata Stallions announced they would be rebranded under a new ownership group. On January 5, 2014 the team tweeted that they will officially be rebranded as the Kanata Lasers, changing their Twitter handle and image. The club also announced new uniforms were in the works as part of the rebranding. At the end of the 2013-14 season, it was announced that Adam Dewan would return as head coach in the 2014-15 season.

The Kanata Lasers have been at the talk of relocation (even before the Ottawa Canadians of the CCHL2 moved to the Jack Charron Arena nearby). Kanata's destination for relocation has been Renfrew, Stittsville, and other communities in the Ottawa Valley.

On February 25, 2020 The Central Canada Hockey League approved the sale and transfer of the Kanata Lasers Junior A Hockey Club to new owners, who plan to relocate the team to Renfrew for the 2020-21 season. The new team will be known as the Renfrew Wolves.

Trump's supporters attacked the former FBI director's testimony, but didn't manage to discredit it.
Thursday was a bad, bad day for Team Trump. Things looked even worse at the end of the day than they did when the Senate Intelligence Committee adjourned midday.
The first line of defense—revealed by the president's own team yesterday—is that Comey somehow vindicated Trump by confirming that he told Trump in January that Trump was not personally a target of an investigation. But if that assurance had been enough for the president, Trump would not have added the demand that Comey end the investigation of Michael Flynn. Trump evidently felt strongly motivated to protect Flynn—more strongly motivated than he had been to protect any of his other associates.
Line two of defense is that the president's expression of a "hope" that Mike Flynn could be "let go" merely expressed a wish, not an order. But Adam Liptak, Supreme Court reporter for The New York Times, almost instantly produced an example of an obstruction of justice conviction that rested precisely on "I hope" language—and the all-seeing eye of Twitter quickly found more. Anyone who has ever seen a gangster movie has heard the joke, "Nice little dry cleaning store, I hope nothing happens to it." The blunt fact is that after Comey declined to drop the investigation or publicly clear the president, Trump fired Comey. A hope enforced by dismissal is more than a wish.
A third line of defense is the attack on Comey personally: that he somehow discredited himself by not speaking out or resigning when he first felt the president had asked for something improper. I wonder how those in the Trump White House who have not yet spoken out or resigned felt about this argument. Comey stayed for the same reason that non-venal people throughout the Trump administration stay: in the hope of protecting not only the country, but also the president himself, from the worse people (or the no people at all!) with whom the president would likely replace them.
Paul Ryan tried a fourth line of defense during the hearings: that Trump had merely committed a protocol violation due to his inexperience in government. But if Trump were such an ingénue, why did he take such extraordinary care always to be alone with Comey when he made his improper demands?
Trump did not invoke executive privilege to prevent Comey from speaking to Congress, the usual place where executive privilege is asserted.
Trump himself had spoken and tweeted about the conversation, which is usually taken to void executive privilege.
Executive privilege has never before been thought to impose a lifetime obligation of silence upon former members of the executive branch.
The Supreme Court case most directly on point, U.S. v. Nixon, established that executive privilege cannot be used to conceal evidence of crime, which is what Comey's leak and subsequent sworn testimony, purportedly revealed.
Michael Isikioff of Yahoo News reported that four top D.C. lawyers had refused to handle Trump's defense.
If accurate, Isikoff's reporting suggests that a lifelong habit of skipping out on bills has saddled Trump with an attorney ill-prepared for the task ahead.
Friends of the president will reply that the Comey hearing did not produce a smoking gun. That's true. But the floor is littered with cartridge casings, there's a smell of gunpowder in the air, bullet holes in the wall, and a warm weapon on the table. Comey showed himself credible, convincing, and consistent. Against him are arrayed the confused excuses of the least credible president in modern American history.

Mountain Bike Trail Description
The Fossil park trail is a time warp experience, riding in one of the richest fossil sites in the world on a mountain bike. Educational and informative fossil tours are available for the curios. The West Coast Fossil park is a national museum site with a rich heritage of geophysical forces, prehistoric animals, mining exploitation, fossil discovery and natural regeneration.
Starting from the park visitor centre, there are 4 different marked trail options of varying distances covering the entire 250Ha park. The trails utilise the old mining roads on the property, and there are some tricky uphill and downhill sections for the adventurous. The northern end of the park has a good view of the Saldanha and Vredenberg areas. Being out in the open on the dirt is a great way to appreciate and view the emerging fynbos. The route along the western end leads to the longest climb of the ride with a view over the dig site. The scenic trail back passes the bird hide and then winds its way back to the visitor centre and coffee shop.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to predict the amount of solar radiation by solar-powered systems in areas without solar radiation history. The main source of energy for WSN nodes is the use of solar energy. To this end, a solar power system is required. PV panels can be said that form the main part of such a system. Given that the amount of sunlight is changing day by day, during the course of the month and year, the wireless sensor node must be able to accurately predict the amount of absorbed light during the day to optimize its operations, accordingly. Solar radiation behavior is mainly linear and its prediction is easy somehow, but when it comes to climatic conditions of the margins of the Caspian Sea (North of Iran, including Guilan and Mazandaran provinces), the prediction becomes too complicated by the fact that solar radiation behavior turns to non-linear approach most of the days (for cloudiness, moisture, rains…).
This paper tries to model the old, simple yet valid EWMA algorithm, which is a very practical way to implement temporary wireless sensor network scenarios, especially in places without the history of GHI and DNI meteorological parameters. The proposed method which is named in this paper as "Caspian Sea Algorithm", is also very useful for the northern parts of Iran, which is often accompanied by rapid changes in the parameters of the climate during the day (including relative humidity, cloud cover, etc.). Particularly, even the adjacent points are also often different in terms of rainfall, precipitation intensity, cloud dispersion and relative humidity, and the weather stations in the area do not cover solar radiation parameters in their daily measurements and forecasts.
Research method: An applied project, based on scientific studies and comparisons; In addition to the usual methods of studying numerous journals and books related to photovoltaic topics and solar radiation prediction algorithms, MATLAB software simulation, researcher has visited regional meteorological offices in the case study (Guilan and Mazandaran provinces) in order to provide a more effective and efficient method, using experiences and concerns of the experts.
Findings: Inspired by the EWMA prediction algorithm, this study will provide a way for solar irradiance prediction so that no longer needs to have a history of meteorological parameters such as GHI and DNI. This technic is particularly effective for locations that are far from meteorological stations or cloud cover and relative humidity of the air is different from adjacent meteorological station.
Conclusion: The results of this research indicate that despite the essential need of all current algorithms to historical or online meteorological data for the prediction of the amount of solar radiation energy, the innovative "Caspian Sea Algorithm", can do this job with a fairly high accuracy without these data. Of course, some data from a neighbor city or province is being used to start the job.

Bruno Mars Debuts New '24k Magic' Single: Listen
Ali Szubiak
Ali Szubiak Published: October 4, 2016
UPDATE (10/7): "24k Magic" is here"! Watch the video below.
Bruno Mars has announced his forthcoming lead single "24k Magic" will drop this Friday (October 7), lending credence to the rumors that claim an accompanying album will hit shelves before 2016's end.
The "Grenade" singer unveiled the news in a series of Instagram posts earlier today (October 3), revealing the single artwork along with it. Mars wrote, "Excited to announce '24k Magic,' out this Friday!! You can call it my first single, but I call it the invitation to the party."
"24k Magic" marks the first single off Mars' untitled third studio album, the follow-up to 2012's Unorthodox Jukebox. And while the "Locked Out Of Heaven" singer has yet to announce a definitive release date for his upcoming fourth album, he let his Twitter followers know that it's officially finished.
Mars' bassist, Jamareo Artis, gave an extensive interview to Bass Player early last month, where he promised the new album will be out later this year and a tour will follow shortly after.
"We've been working on it for about a year, trying different ideas and experimenting," Artis told the publication. "I don't know what's going to be included in the final version, but it's going to have a new sound, and so far the material is very groove-oriented. It'll be out sometime this year, and then we'll hit the road again."
Skrillex also admitted to working with Mars, indicating the "Uptown Funk" singer was exploring a new sound.
"I'm actually working with Bruno Mars right now," Skrillex told Billboard back in June. "I'm not going to give specifics of what it sounds like, but what we're doing is so f—king different, awesome and next level and sounds like nothing else that's happened before."

Magic: The Gathering Gets $10m Esports Boost
The Game Awards brought around quite a few interesting developments. But one thing definitely caught the eyes of observes – Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro announced a new $10-million competitive format for Magic: The Gathering, a league.
Esports and Digital Card Games
Card games are taking the world by a storm. With Hearthstone's global success commanding it impressive revenue to Valve's newly-fledged Artifact – esports is expanding its definition to include TCGs. And now, The Game Awards evening came with yet another announcement, with Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro revealing a new global league worth that will pit 32 players against each other and leave them compete for the truly big money worth $10 million.
Introducing the future of professional Magic.https://t.co/ppOZJkU3ZR pic.twitter.com/Quu8HKr4uS
— Magic Esports (@MagicEsports) December 7, 2018
This move will double the existing prizing money that has gone in supporting competitive Magic: The Gathering. The decision also coincides with Hearthstone's newly-announced plans to rev up their own prize pool to $4 million in the 2018/2019 competitive season.
According to Wizards of the Coast Vice President of Esports Elaine Chase card games are still a new idea when related to esports and while the company itself is young in these matters, everyone is quite determined to push Magic: The Gathering as a competitive title.
Mr. Chase spoke to The Esports Observer, a respected game media focusing on breaking the latest business news.
We're a new entrant into esports, but we have a very proven game, we've got a proven fanbase, we've got a proven competitive structure that's held up for 25 years. – Elaine Chase
He continued by explaining that the company "meant business" and it was preparing to engage with all people across the ecosystem in order to drive the best results out of the initiative.
A Brief History of Magic
Magic is one of the defining games in the genre, with the title launching back in 1993 and remaining the top TCG title over the past two decades and a half. With the release of Magic: The Gathering Arena, Wizards signaled their readiness to break into the echelons of the esports community.
https://twitter.com/magicprotour/status/1070888162136862720
Even if you haven't heard about it, the Magic community is well-developed, not only on a fandom level, but also as a competitive ecosystem. The game comes with delightful mix of on-site and Internet tournaments, with players progressing throughout a Pro Tour to qualify. The existing competitive format includes a sort of a "Magic World Championship", but the format could undergo specific changes as per the newly-announced league.
The so-called Magic Pro League (MPL) will feature 32 players and it will be played on the Arena platform. Details about the specific format of the League haven't been revealed just yet, leaving a lot of speculation swirling around.
Nevertheless, the League will definitely have a strong gravitational pull already having sent strong ripples across the community. One notable addition to the competitive format is that Wizards will endorse gamers further, offering them $75,000 contract for streaming and playing, which is a sort of a salary allowing contestants to support themselves without having to struggle with the financial end of things.

William Hazelgrove Re-Writes The Wrights: There's a Lot More To the Story of the First Flight Than You Might Think
Imagine taking on two of America's most cherished icons and suggesting that, "Freud would have a field day" with them — that one was a prissy, fastidious "metrosexual" with "small hands" (Yes! How timely!) — and, oh yeah, by the way, their sister was probably a lesbian.
The icons are Orville and Wilbur Wright, hallowed American heroes who cracked the code of manned flight, bringing to fruition a cherished dream the human race had nurtured with deep longing for thousands of years.
The achievement was so monumental — and that fact that two humble bicycle mechanics pulled it off without fancy college degrees, support from powerful people or big money backing — made the Wright brothers the quintasensual American archetypes. Pure, conquering, unstoppable, modest.
Wilbur (left) and Orville Wright
But just as we've come to a time when we must stop believing that George Washington refused to lie about chopping down a cherry tree — author WILLIAM HAZELGROVE thinks it's time we put some authentic flesh on the bones of what history has handed down about the Wrights. That being: The brothers as sanitized stick figures who were the personification of the good old American values of hard work, midwestern ingenuity and moral purity.
I have no doubt many conservative types who read this will wail: "Revisionist history! It's sickening! We've had enough revisionist history!"
Some liberal types might moan: "Who really cares if Orville Wright was effeminate and possibly gay, and his sister a lesbian? How is that relevant? Stop making a big deal out of gayness!"
But Hazelgrove has a bigger fish to fry in his latest offering, WRIGHT BROTHERS, WRONG STORY. The 132-pound flounder he spends 334 pages filleting is poor Orville Wright himself. Not-so-subtly suggesting that Orville was a repressed homosexual is the least of the historical makeovers the author has in store for the junior first aviator.
Because Orville outlived Wilbur by 38 years, Hazelgrove argues that it was Orvillle who actually committed the original sin of revisionist history — as in portraying himself as the full equal of his brother in their triumph. Upon Wilbur's death of typhoid in 1912, Orville was left in sole possession of the grist mill of history. At every turn, in every book article and letter, he made sure that his contribution was presented as equal, if not sometimes superior to that of his brother.
Hazelgrove argues that it was Wilbur who deserves 90% if not 100% of the credit for cracking the code of flight, rendering him as a special kind of genius. Orville, on the other hand, was barely more than a second-rate bicycle mechanic who would have been pleased to live out his life in comfortable obscurity as long as he made a buck in the bike business.
But wasn't Orville Wright the first man — in all the ages and in the history of mankind and the planet — to actually perform powered flight? That's true, but Hazelgrove would even strip him of this honor. He writes off Orville's seminal lift-off as a mere 12-second hop that cleared just 120 feet. Later that day, Wilbur took the Kitty Hawk aloft and flew for 59 second and traveled 852 feet. That, Hazelgrove contends, was the real first flight.
Newsman and Wright biographer Fred. C. Kelly
Whatever the case — Hazelgrove has made a decent enough argument here with a lot of facts, research and document-based evidence. He puts it all out there and let's the reader decide — except perhaps at the end of the book when Hazelgrove goes into full editorial mode. He forcefully states that Orville did a lot of illicit hijacking of the historical record, especially through his Byzantine editorial control over the first major biography of the Wrights by compliant and hungry journalist FRED KELLY.
Does Hazelgrove go too far in smashing Orville down to size while elevating Wilbur to the lofty status of a virtual Icarus? I'll say, very mildly, that he does go too far. I'm not saying I'm right and that Mr. Hazelgrove is wrong, but I think there are lot of intangibles that need to be considered. I think every Don Quixote needs a Sancho Panza, every Batman needs a Robin, every Frodo needs a Sam Gamgee.
Katharine Wright. Lesbian?
Certainly, Orville repeatedly and willingly risked death in the early test flights. He also suffered the deep privations on the brutal sands of Kitty Hawk as he supported his brother's "crazy dream." Orville was there for his big brother! He could have happily been devoting his time to his own successful bicycle business, building wealth and a local reputation for himself. Also, both men battled broiling heat by day and bitter cold by night — and tortuous mosquitoes, hurricane winds, choking, smoke-filled tents, isolation and boredom, scarce food and the wicked, cloying sands of the Carolina beach.
On the other hand, stirring the pot of controversy makes this a more juicy, enjoyable read. Add to that Hazelgrove's marvelous ability to turn a fine phrase. He makes a work of history read like thrilling fiction. Mr. Hazelgrove cut his chops writing mainstream novels. Now he brings his flare for fiction to factual history that makes it come alive with colorful "characters" who are working through a complex plot among exotic locations — except these plots, places and situations are real.

First Principles by Thomas E. Ricks
New York Times Bestseller Editors' Choice --New York Times Book Review "Ricks knocks it out of the park with this jewel of a book. On every page I learned something new. Read it every night if you want to restore your faith in our country." --James Mattis, General, U.S. Marines (ret.) & 26th Secretary of Defense The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author offers a revelatory new book about the founding fathers, examining their educations and, in particular, their devotion to the ancient Greek and Roman classics--and how that influence would shape their ideals and the new American nation. On the morning after the 2016 presidential election, Thomas Ricks awoke with a few questions on his mind: What kind of nation did we now have? Is it what was designed or intended by the nation's founders? Trying to get as close to the source as he could, Ricks decided to go back and read the philosophy and literature that shaped the founders' thinking, and the letters they wrote to each other debating these crucial works--among them the Iliad, Plutarch's Lives, and the works of Xenophon, Epicurus, Aristotle, Cato, and Cicero. For though much attention has been paid the influence of English political philosophers, like John Locke, closer to their own era, the founders were far more immersed in the literature of the ancient world. The first four American presidents came to their classical knowledge differently. Washington absorbed it mainly from the elite culture of his day; Adams from the laws and rhetoric of Rome; Jefferson immersed himself in classical philosophy, especially Epicureanism; and Madison, both a groundbreaking researcher and a deft politician, spent years studying the ancient world like a political scientist. Each of their experiences, and distinctive learning, played an essential role in the formation of the United States. In examining how and what they studied, looking at them in the unusual light of the classical world, Ricks is able to draw arresting and fresh portraits of men we thought we knew. First Principles follows these four members of the Revolutionary generation from their youths to their adult lives, as they grappled with questions of independence, and forming and keeping a new nation. In doing so, Ricks interprets not only the effect of the ancient world on each man, and how that shaped our constitution and government, but offers startling new insights into these legendary leaders.

just finished the next drawing. Don´t know if I got those trainable phased arrays right. Anyway hope you like it and please continue pointing out errors you find.
I also added the aft VLS on the baseline design drawings in above post. I also drew a version of the baseline model at the same length (143m) as the Westinghouse model version Santi posted above.
Make sure to visit the Shipbucket Collection and our new Shipbucket Forum.
It is nice to see how ships I barely remember "come to life".
NAAWS was a US-led project to replace the existing Sea Sparrow system. The primary requirements were quick reaction and multi-target handling, to deal with salvos (saturation attack) of very fast (supersonic) low-altitude weapons but also to counter steep divers. NAAWS was conceived to be a secondary system (Aegis being the primary) for ships intended primary for other than pure AAW purposes. The system had to be relatively small and inexpensive. In contrast to FAMS (which was conceived as a stand alone AAW system), NAAWS was conceived as an Aegis-like combat system, integrated with most ship sensors, countermeasure system and with the ship's tactical data system.
- a vertical launched missile (for very quick reaction, even at short range).
GE had recently absorbed the RCA division that build the Spy-1 radar. The team was however build around the FARS radar.
Hughes suggested the improved version of its TAS mk 23 as a potential MFR.
Raytheon planned to use its quad-packed, tail-controlled Sparrow derivate equipped with a combined X-band semiactive radar and IR seeker. A first sketch published showed a ship with two radars, a relatively low frequency rotating unite to detect and track long-range targets (the sketch seems to show stacked wave-guides) and a higher frequency fixed array to deal with shorter-range targets.
After the companies reinstating they planned an S-band MESAR, for volume search and target designation/track and a smaller X-band phased array for target illumination and horizon search. The two would be superimposed on a single rotating mounting.
UNISAMS proposed a new missile with a dual-mode active/passive seeker and able to quad-pack into a single mk-41 vls cell.
By September 1988, the Martin Marietta and Raytheon proposals had been dropped. However Raytheon protested and by early 1989 it had been reinstated in the NAAWS program. In late 1989 it appeared that 2 teams would be chosen for a 4-year demonstration and validation contract in June 1990. "
Given the post above I think we can now connect the available pictures to those project teams.
The ship Santi posted (with the trainable phased arrays fore and aft) is labeled to be the Westinghouse design and was displayed at the US Navy League show 1990.
The ship depicted in "Royal Navy Frigates since 1945, Second Edition" must be the GE-RCA design. In Friedman's World Naval Weapons the design, presented at the US Navy League show 1989, is described as having a 4-faced fixed phased array, with 2 illuminators (similar to the Dutch STIR or STING) and an electro-optical sensor between them. Presumably the fixed array would carry out both the horizon- and hemisphere-search (as Spy-1 does) and the illuminators would be slaved as in Aegis.
Leaving those two pictures I initially referred to as Signaal design. These fit however the two Raytheon designs described above. The one with the back to back radar seems to be the newer variant (from after the companies reinstating) and the variant with the fixed array the version from 1988.
My conclusion is that all those pictures "only" show each project teams approach to NAAWS and that the "Baseline Design" represents the NFR-90 projects team approach to the ship platform itself.
The design that you labelled like "NATO NFR-90 HSA Design 1986" appeared frequently in Spanish media in reference to the NFR-90 project in that years. In fact, a frigate design that appeared in "Revista Española de Defensa" (an official media of the Spanish MOD) illustrating an interesting overview of the later defunct Plan Alta Mar (High Seas Naval Plan) showed a lot in common with it. Sadly, I think that I lost that number of the RED….

Yea, I think it was the most widely used illustration.

To bad. Please let me know of you find it anywhere.
Can you tell me more about the Plan Alta Mar, please?
Plan Alta Mar (PAM) was defined in 1990. It was the first naval plan of the restored democracy and was foreseen a 15 years period of execution (1991-2005).
The idea was to preserve the size and composition of the Spanish Armada in the eighties but replacing the old types, most of them former US Navy vessels 40 or more years old, with modern and locally built ships.
It was a rational plan, supported by both the socialist and popular (conservative) parties and coherent with the economic situation of that moment. It left behind some ambitious projects seriously considered years before like the building of 3-4 SSN of Rubis type or a second CVS of PdA class.
- a force of 15 "oceanic escorts" (frigates). 5 Baleares/F70, 6 FFG/F80 (4 already built + 2 more effectively built in 1994), and 4 F-100 (1997-2000).
Those "F100" were 3.500 t "inexpensive" ASW frigates with a design that seems derived (thought reduced in size) with some of the NFR-90 designs. They would replace the ancient Gearing FRAM-I.
For the 2000-2005 period was foreseen a class of 5 "F110" (other sources said "F90") more complex and AAW oriented ships destined to replace the Baleares.
- a force of up to 10 submarines, replacing the 4 Daphnes/S60 with 4-6 S80, may be derived from the Agosta/S70 class and similar to what later became the Scorpene. The 4 boats would must be in service in 2000-2005, with an additional couple some years later if the budget was enough.
- a force of up to 16 MCM. First 8 minehunters, later 4-8 minesweepers. The actual 6 Segura class are the remains of the "8 minehunters" once the building of the last 2 were delayed sinedie.
- 5 amphib vessels: 1 LPD + 4 LST or something similar. They would be a some limited ships for the modern standards because the PAM accounted "a total of 20.000 t for the 5 vessels".
- only 1 AOR, that became the A-14 Patiño, a bit scarce to support 15 frigates!
The CVS (R-11 PdA) and the 6 "Coastal Escorts" (the Descubierta corvettes) remained unchanged and the AOL A-11 Marques de la Ensenada was ordered in a hurry like a provisional measure, entering in service in 1991 (Armada was using civil oil tankers since the retirement years ago of the ancient AOL Teide).
…. but, the wall, and later the USSR, collapsed, submarine menace nearly disappeared, others appeared, the situation changed.
Spanish economy in the nineties got worse, delaying some of the programs, but from 1997-98 it boomed (up to now), allowing others more ambitious….. and PAM were progressively replaced by Strategic Defence Revisions and Armada General Drawings more concerned with operative demands than with concise numbers of ships.
I recalled reading of this plan in the convays book...It also had some details of older plans, and in those, particullary the ones preceding the principe de asturias mentioned some cruisers (I got the impression, that the idea was revisited for sea controll ship). I've always wondered what those would have been like....helicopter carriers or real cruisers Also, I once read in somewhere else that Spain was also offered Essex class carrier in place of the Dedalo?
If it isent too rude threadjacking, Is there anything more detailed about these considerations?
6 FFG/F80 (4 already built + 2 more effectively built in 1994), and 4 F-100 (1997-2000).
I have wondered, were those extra two F80 procured because of the delays in the NFR-90 program or was that decision not connected at all to those events?
A similar thing happened in Germany btw. Originally it was planned to build 12 Nato Standard Frigates (F122 Bremen class) in two batches of six each. When enrolling in the NFR-90 project it was hopped to build more of those instead but due to the delays a further two F122 and later four national designed and build F123 were ordered instead, reducing the number of needed NFR-90 to 3-4 in total.
I also read somewhere that the F110 "project" evolved into a land attack ship after the decision to "upgrade" the F100 from an ASW into an AAW platform. Any truth in that or just wishfull thinking?
It also had some details of older plans, and in those, particullary the ones preceding the principe de asturias mentioned some cruisers (I got the impression, that the idea was revisited for sea controll ship). I've always wondered what those would have been like....helicopter carriers or real cruisers Also, I once read in somewhere else that Spain was also offered Essex class carrier in place of the Dedalo?
During Franco dictatorship there were different naval plans. Some of them unrealistic, like the one in the first forties that foresaw 4 battleships of the Roma class, 2 battle cruisers, 36 destroyers, or something like that, I don't remember the precise numbers.
Carrero has great influence on Franco but, thought Spanish economy was growing fast those years, the plan was impossible. May be its intention was to warn on the great weaknesses of Spanish Armada.
But some general drawings of the Carrero's Plan were followed, counting with the help of the US: The Cabot/Dedalo CVS, 5 FRAM, 4 Guppy-II, 12 MSC, 3 LST and, of course, the support on the Baleares program.
In those years the "English way" was discarded (Leanders and, may be other types of ships) in attendance of political conflicts and "French way" was selected for the future submarines.
It's true that an Essex class and two Independence were offered to choose, but the first was rejected and, of both Independence, Cabot was preferred.
I think that it was a wise decision. Operating a 40.000 t CATOBAR and its corresponding airwing seems a big burden for the Spain of 60's and 70's.
Harold Wilson was the main reason for get out the british way for the navy with his refusal to the sell of Leander frigates to Spain, so the Navy had only one way, the US and the modified knox frigates, known as Baleares.
We made 8 Descubiertas, but the last two were "sold" (the payment is not very clear) to the egyptian navy almost inmediately, and the Navy got the promise of the fourth FFG instead of the two corvettes.
Yes, the F-85/86 were a preventive measure on the delays of NFR-90 and, of course, were later included in PAM.
Interesting. I wonder if M frigates were the Dutch alternative solution or it was a previous program.
In any case that isn't related to PAM ("land attack ship" seems a more recent concept).
Once the definitive F-100 program was on course "F-110" became simply a name for a future replacement of the F-80's, following a numeric logic. I doubt that any serious studies on it were made.
Nowadays if you ask to most of the Armada officers what they want to replace F-80's they would say "more F-100". There is a total commitment with very capable AAW ships. Land attack assets would be TLAM and 5 inch guns, beginning with F-100's themselves.
If other land attack stuff, a second helo, UAV's or something like that is considered in the future it would be preserving AAW capabilities (It seems that Navantia has a preliminary design of a 9.500 t DDG ).
I don´t think so though my initial idea was the same. That´s why I asked about the F80s in the first place. My understanding is that the 5 M-class unites originally were to replace the old Roofdier (US PCE-821) class. The project began in the late 70s/early 80s before or at least at the same time as the NFR-90 (which my guess is would have replaced the van Speijk class). Same is true I guess for the first 6 Halifax class ships and for the first 10 (?) Duke class frigates.
Nowadays if you ask to most of the Armada officers what they want to replace F-80's they would say "more F-100".
lol, my guess is that the price tag would make that unrealistic. Any news on the sixth unite, btw.? Personally while I can understand the decision itself and the benefit for the Spanish export industry I´d still have preferred an APAR/Smart-L version of the F100.
How about a hi-low mix fleet for the future with six F100 and six LCS type ships replacing the F80?
-more F-100, may be improved "flights", but built at slow pace. A bit like the Burkes in the US Navy (Have I comment the admiration devoted to the US Navy by Spanish Armada? ).
-a new class of vessels not before 2020, once some actual programs (F-100, S-80, BPE, BAM) were payed for.
One or two month ago a "gremling" on Navantias web showed some scarce references and inactive links to a "9.500 t DDG", "Avante family of frigates", "30.000 t AOR", and other things.
If you know any place or have any pictures of Spanish "Newer wheres" of the post war period I would be greatly preciated.
One that has been on my mind, is the "Enlarged Descurbierta" class with possible helicopter hangar that was mentioned in Convays book.
Imaging a bit larger Descubierta (2.400 vs 1.600 t) with the Bofors LR-375 replaced by an Albatros/Aspide launcher (same disposition like in MMI Maestrales) and a telescopic hangar aft, replacing the 40 mm's and missile launcher there. 40 mm's would be relocated both sides of the hangar.
All other stuff reminds unchanged (76mm, Harpoon, Mk-32, WM-25, DA-05…). It would be a ship very similar to Italian Lupos, but with CODAD propulsion and w/o 127 mm.
It exists at least an artist view of this design but I googled for it without success.
For comparison, take a look to the hangar configuration of the Descubierta derived OPV offered to Turkish CG some years ago.
I'll search in the deeps of my PC for some other Spanish "Newer wheres"
i am a Swedish researcher who would appreciate help with the identification of the following companies that were included in the Westinghouse NAAWS group. It could take me many hours of googling, it appears.
So, from which nations are/were the following companies: MCR, ORI, MEL Vitro and SPAR?
Thanks for your help. The best thing for me would be to also mail me at martin.lundmark@hhs.se.

News from Prospects
The European way
Also in News from Prospects...
Meet the postgrad people
Master of the unusual
The price of postgraduate study
Money from the council
Its official. Europe is on our doorstep and the Great British public have been liberated from stag and hen parties in Blackpool. But its not just cheap holidays that can be taken advantage of. The growth of international Masters on the continent means further study abroad is more accessible than ever before.
Theres never been a better time to consider studying abroad. Universities are falling over themselves to compete for international students and governments are setting ambitious targets to double recruitment in the next five years.
Its perhaps no coincidence then that the European School of Managements motto is learn everywhere, manage anywhere. In an era of greater integration and low-cost travel on the continent, this seems an appropriate way to describe an institution that first began delivering business management education across Europe in 1973 and now has 53 partner universities worldwide.
The key to ESCP-EAPs educational philosophy is a cross-border approach to management learning in a multicultural society, with students studying in at least two countries, notes Dr David Sola, UK Director of the School. We have five campuses in Europe: Paris, London, Madrid, Berlin and Turin.
Choose your programme
There are several programmes open to UK students; including a Masters in Management, Masters in European Business and European Executive MBA. Although some of the courses are available in English, most are delivered in the native language of the country where each campus is based.
The vast majority are multi-lingual, remarks Dr Sola of the Schools student population, some 400 of which come from the UK annually. However, the introduction of programmes taught entirely in English does broaden the options available, especially to those that speak English as their only European language.
International horizons
In line with the linguistic requirements, the School prides itself on being selective in its admission policies, seeking to admit the most promising business students. Minimum entry criteria for the Executive MBA, for example, are five years professional experience and a university degree -inviting those looking to supplement their industry experience with further formal learning. The Masters in Management and Masters in European Business, meanwhile, look to recruit graduates, as Dr Sola explains.
The Masters in Management is for high-potential students eager to rise to the challenge of globalisation and follow an international career. It provides a solid grounding in general and specialised management.
The Masters in European Business is a 12-month, two-country postgraduate programme for graduates from any degree discipline. They embark on a programme which includes five months of study in the first country, a further four months in the second, followed by three months first-hand experience on an in-company internship.
Do the research
In pursuing potential and established management professionals, the School naturally professes that the standard of teaching is conducive to students abilities and expects them to be prepared for a different learning experience than in UK universities. For this reason, it is vitally important to research courses and institutions thoroughly, especially as there is no central admissions system like UCAS.
The key differentiator is the fact that our programmes aim to widen students professional horizons by adding value to their initial studies and to facilitate entry into the international job market, suggests Dr Sola. Our programmes are hard work: much like one would expect from an in-depth postgraduate course. The school is very selective but the atmosphere is very supportive.
It is not uncommon to find universities promoting the social experience in tandem with learning to foreign students. As an essential part of the UK experience it becomes acutely more so when you are studying abroad, with a wide range of cultural considerations to take into account; everything from the basics of getting used to foreign currency to the more residual aspect of adjusting to the intricacies of your host country.
At TUDelft University in the Netherlands, there is a comprehensive approach to preparing overseas students for life in the small town of Delft, nestled between Rotterdam and The Hague. The International Student guide, which runs to 79 pages, has a particular section on Dutch society.
Masters students have the opportunity to participate in a Summer School during the summer, notes Ann OBrien, the Universitys International Student Marketing Officer. This is an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with the Dutch way of life and learning, among other things. But students need not worry about having to learn Dutch, as all graduate study is taught in English.
Wider variety
It is not uncommon to find universities promoting the social experience in tandem with learning to foreign students. Always an essential part of university life, the social aspect becomes even more important when you are studying abroad, with a wide range of cultural considerations to take into account; everything from the basics of getting used to foreign currency to the more residual aspect of adjusting to the intricacies of your host country.
At TUDelft, the largest university of technology in the Netherlands, there is a comprehensive approach to preparing overseas students for life in the small town of Delft, nestled between Rotterdam and The Hague. The International Student guide, which runs to 79 pages, has a particular section on Dutch society.
Masters students have the opportunity to participate in a Summer School in the month preceding commencement of the academic year, notes Ann OBrien, the Universitys International Marketing Adviser. This is an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with the Dutch way of life and learning, among other things. But students need not worry about having to learn Dutch, as all graduate study is taught in English.
Highlighting the vast differences between institutions across the continent, TUDelft covers a much wider subject base than the European School of Management but enrols a substantially lower number of UK students on average about ten per year. There is a marked difference in the admission process too, with TUDelft requiring a 2-3,000 word essay, extensive curriculum vitae from each applicant and a Grade Point Average of more than 75% alongside a recognised, relevant undergraduate degree. The essay is expected to cover your motivation for the Masters programme; reasons for studying abroad and, in particular at TUDelft, thesis topics that are of interest to you and a summary of the final assignment for your undergraduate degree.
TUDelft specialises in engineering and technology courses and offers 38 two-year postgraduate programmes. With faculties in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science; Aerospace Engineering; Applied Sciences; Architecture; Industrial Design; Civil Engineering, and Geosciences; and Technology, Policy and Management, the Universitys focus is on research and innovation. As Ann OBrien points out, the demands and needs of contemporary industry guides the teaching environment.
The universitys strong links with multinationals ensures the curricula are fine-tuned to meet the demands of contemporary industry. Graduates should expect the best tuition from top scientists and the chance to perform cutting-edge research in the chosen research group towards the MSc thesis.
There are, of course, some who would argue that UK postgraduate study is as cutting-edge as its European counterparts, but that defeats a common purpose of studying abroad the chance to combine further education and travel whilst experiencing other cultures. With universities crying out for foreign students, it might be time to pack your postgraduate bags. Damien Currie

Introduction to Cache Management. The cache provides in-memory storage. Configuring and Using Statistics. You can configure statistics and statistics. The SELECT statement allows you to filter data from the collection of object(s) .
By extension, a peer cache application may also serve as a CacheServer too, allowing cache clients to connect and perform data access operations on the server. To enable statistics, annotate your application class with EnableStatisticsas follows:. If you want the field or property to always be written, simply define a setter method. While every effort has been made to ensure this documentation is comprehensive and complete without errors, some topics are beyond the scope of this document and may require more explanation for example, data distribution management using partitioning with HA while still preserving consistency.
You do not need to do anything special to use the client-server topology.
Likewise, naming an annotation-defined bean lets you code gefire Configurer to customize a specific, "named" bean since the beanName is 1 of 2 arguments passed to the callback. Additionally, all caches, Regions, and other Pivotal GemFire components are reconstructed. When configuring Regions for overflow, you should configure the storage through the disk-store element for maximum efficiency. As needed, retrieve region and entry statistics through the getStatistics methods of the Region and Region.
Each individual SnapshotMetadata instance can define its own location and filters properties. Gfsh with Cluster Configuration. If so, SDG is smart and returns the existing Index as is, even on override. Consequently, it is not uncommon for a developer to define beans for some or all of these Regions in Spring XML configuration metadata as follows:. In addition to Configurerseach annotation attribute in the annotation-based configuration model is associated with a corresponding configuration property prefixed with spring.
The DiskStore is referenced by using the disk-store-ref attribute. An IndexExistsException is thrown when there exists another Index with the same definition but a different name when attempting to create an Index. By default, the Manager binds to localhostlistening on the default Manager port of Fortunately, Pivotal GemFire was ahead of its time in this regard. In this situation, it makes sense to start compartmentalizing the configuration a bit. To use Pivotal GemFire, you need to either create a new cache or connect to an existing one.
It may hold data created or fetched locally. Other attributes include a pretty-print flag defaults to false and convert-returned-collections. Pivotal GemFire also implements the Redis server protocol, which enables Redis clients to connect to and communicate with a cluster of Pivotal GemFire servers to issue Redis commands. The Region interface is wired into application classes that require it so the actual Region type is decoupled from the programming model.
By using the JSR annotations, the CacheLoader code has been simplified since the location and creation of the DataSource has been externalized and the user code is concerned only with the loading process. Client-side interest registration does not do much good without enabling subscription on the Poolas mentioned earlier. The amount of time in seconds that an object may remain in the cache after the last creation or update.
Therefore, the lookup was performed first to avoid any errors. See the EnableLogging annotation Javadoc for more details. See the EnableOffHeap annotation Javadoc for more details. The WiringInstantiator works femfire to WiringDeclarableSupporttrying to first locate a doxumentation definition as a wiring template and otherwise falling back to auto-wiring. Pivotal GemFire is flexible in referencing both parent Regions and Sub-Regions with or without the leading forward slash.
See the EnableCompression annotation Javadoc for more details. In most cases, the cache should only be created once. Using HINT indexname allows you to instruct the query engine to prefer and filter results from the specified indexes.
Since no additional properties were specified, a newly created Cache applies the default cache configuration. In our new Book class definition, we annotated the author field with Indexed and the title field with LuceneIndexed.
Consider the following class that applies parameter defaulting for name. You can customize the host bind address and port that the embedded Locator binds to by using the corresponding annotation attributes.
When used, WiringDeclarableSupport tries to first locate an existing bean definition and use that as the wiring template.

A cheap version of the next gen Xbox will be a serious competitor for the Sony PlayStation 5
It has been on the web for some time now that Microsoft is preparing a more affordable version of its Xbox Series X console, announced earlier this year. So far, the company has only presented it, but there is already evidence that the younger version exists on the Web.
If the older version is code-named Anaconda, the younger version is named Lockhart, and should be cheaper than the older version. It is expected to be called Series S (similar to the previous generation where Xbox One X and Xbox One S were). Rumor has it that this console should be available by the end of this month.
At the moment there is a lot of evidence of the existence of the above-mentioned console, including photos of the box from the gamepad of the console. The Xbox Series S controller, which is in white, was noticed a month earlier, but now, thanks to its packaging, we have learned what platforms it will support. In addition to the expected mobile platforms and Windows 10, it will also support the Xbox One, Series X and Series S, which confirms the existence of this available console.
The color in which this controller is made is called "Robot White". According to insider information currently available, more details about this console should be available in the next three weeks.

Album Review: Ryan Adams – Prisoner
twths
Published on March 21, 2017 by JB
Released on February 17, 2017
Color by numbers for the prolific Adams
It's chic to instantly label any dark album following a big divorce as The breakup album. It's been cast here on Ryan Adams' new album Prisoner just as it was on recent albums this decade from Coldplay, Death Cab For Cutie, and even the undefeatable Sarah McLachlan. But Adam's 2016 divorce from actress, singer, songwriter Mandy Moore is clearly the blanket covering this album, and it has no shame in doing so. Musically, it fits like a glove into Adams' affliction with 80's riffs from bands like Loverboy and Foreigner. Except here Adams represents those bad hair bands in a way that gives them newfound credibility. The limiting factor in 2017 is that Adams can make albums like Prisoner in his sleep. The opening 'Do You Still Love Me?' and the sublime 'To Be Without You' are stellar, but this is Ryan Adams mostly coasting in place, figuring himself out through the one vice that he knows better than anything else. Quite frankly, maybe he's ok with putting out an album that isn't his next Sgt. Pepper. This feels like the final chapter in his marriage diary that he wants to publish, before moving onward in a new direction next time.
do you still love me, Mandy Moore, prisoner, Ryan Adams

BBC Two Wales to launch as a HD channel
BBC Two Wales will launch in HD later this year – enabling BBC Wales to deliver all its programming in HD for the first time.
BBC Two Wales HD will be available on Freeview HD, Youview, BBC iPlayer and other DTT HD platforms. The precise launch dates will be confirmed shortly.
BBC Cymru Wales Director Rhodri Talfan Davies says that the shift was an important step in the technical upgrade of BBC Wales services as it prepares to move to its new broadcast centre at Central Square in Cardiff city centre.
He says: "I am delighted that all of BBC Wales' TV output will now be available in HD for the first time.
"Audiences across Wales rightly expect HD-quality broadcasts – and I'm delighted we have at last been able to confirm the switch to HD for BBC Two Wales."
The upgrade coincides with the biggest expansion in BBC Wales English-language programming in a generation, supported by £8.5 million per annum of new funding. In the last six months, BBC Wales has recorded its biggest drama and factual audiences in more than a decade with the hit series Keeping Faith and Valley Cops.

Q: Simple Boost::Asio asynchronous UDP echo server I'm currently making my way through a book on C++ called "C++ Crash Course". The chapter on networking shows how to use Boost::Asio to write a simple uppercasing TCP server (synchronously or asynchronously). One of the excersises is to recreate it with UDP, which is what I'm having trouble with. Here's my implementation:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/algorithm/string/case_conv.hpp>

using namespace boost::asio;
struct UdpServer {
    explicit UdpServer(ip::udp::socket socket)
    : socket_(std::move(socket)) {
        read();
    }
private:
    void read() {
        socket_.async_receive_from(dynamic_buffer(message_),
            remote_endpoint_,
            [this](boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t length) {
                if (ec || this->message_ == "\n") return;
                boost::algorithm::to_upper(message_);
                this->write();
            }
        );
    }
    void write() {
        socket_.async_send_to(buffer(message_),
            remote_endpoint_,
            [this](boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t length) {
                if (ec) return;
                this->message_.clear();
                this->read();
            }
        );
    }
    ip::udp::socket socket_;
    ip::udp::endpoint remote_endpoint_;
    std::string message_;
};

int main() {
    try {
        io_context io_context;
        ip::udp::socket socket(io_context, ip::udp::v4(), 1895);
        UdpServer server(std::move(socket));
        io_context.run();
    } catch (std::exception & e) {
        std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
}

(Note: The original example uses enable_shared_from_this to capture this by shared_ptr into the lambdas, but I deliberately omitted it to see what would happen without it.)
My code does not compile, and I feel it will take me a thousand years to fully parse the error message (posted on pastebin.com since it's enormous).
It seems the issue is that the buffers are being used/constructed the wrong way, but I have no idea what exactly is wrong with this code. The few answers here on SO concerning Asio either use TCP or tackle an entirely different problem, so the mistake I made has to be really basic. I didn't find anything relevant in the Asio docs.
To be fair, Asio seems way too complicated to my newbie self. Maybe I just don't have the qualifications to use it right now. Nonetheless, I would still like to get the exercise done and move on. Any help would be appreciated.

A: Templates have the ugliest of compiler error messages.  You often just have to go through the compiler error output and look for the first reference in your own source file.  Ala:
/home/atmaks/Code/CCC_chapter20/main.cpp:53:9:   required from here
In any case, on Visual Studio, the error was a bit more clear. (Not really, it just identified the offending line better).
Stare at it and contemplate all your life's decisions that led you to want to be developing in C++ in the first place. :)
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get dynamic_buffer to work.  It may simply be the case that async_read doesn't like this type.  And I think that actually makes sense for UDP.  The receive buffer has to be sized before the recvfrom call in a synchronous mode. And I suspect async UDP, especially for Windows, the buffer has to be passed down to the kernel to be filled up.  By then it's too late to be sized.
Asio lacks proper documentation and leaves us with cryptic template types to figure out.  And the only Asio documentation that is worthwhile are the decent examples - none of which reference dynamic_buffer.
So let's change to a fixed sized buffer for receiving.
While we're at it, it didn't like your socket constructor and threw an exception. So I fixed it up such that it will work.
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/algorithm/string/case_conv.hpp>

using namespace boost::asio;
struct UdpServer {
    explicit UdpServer(ip::udp::socket socket)
        : socket_(std::move(socket)) {
        read();
    }
private:
    void read() {
        socket_.async_receive_from(buffer(data_, 1500),
            remote_endpoint_,
            [this](boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t length) {

                if (ec)
                {
                    return;
                }

                if (strcmp(data_, "\n") == 0)

            }
        );
    }
    void write() {
        socket_.async_send_to(buffer(data_, strlen(data_)),
            remote_endpoint_,
            [this](boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t length) {
                if (ec) return;
                data_[0] = '\0';
                this->read();

    }
    ip::udp::socket socket_;
    ip::udp::endpoint remote_endpoint_;
    char data_[1500 + 1]; // +1 for we can always null terminate safely
};

int main() {

    try {
        io_context io_context;

        ip::udp::endpoint ep(ip::udp::v6(), 1895); // also listens on ipv4
        ip::udp::socket sock(io_context, ep);
        UdpServer server(std::move(sock));
        io_context.run();
    }
    catch (std::exception& e) {
        std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
}

Update
I did get dynamic_buffer to work, but it still requires a pre-allocation to be made.
Update the the start of the read() function as follows:
void read() {

    auto db = dynamic_buffer(message_);
    auto b = db.prepare(1500);

    socket_.async_receive_from(b,
    ...

That at least lets you stick with std::string instead of using a flat C array.
And now for evidence that it's working:
