Just a quick update on the terrarium. When I was hiking in Halton, I picked up two little plants. One is a fern and I'm not sure what the other one is. I've planted them both and they seem to be doing well. At the very least there's a bit more action in there. The moss is still mossy and green. Yeah! The mini birch log and acorn cap are still providing some woodland cuteness.

Kenya Land Survey Efforts Aided with Spectra Precision Equipment
Nairobi (June 8th, 2015) — The Kenya Department of Surveys has acquired eight FOCUS 30 total stations and an additional eight EPOCH 50 GNSS receivers as part of an ongoing major effort to adjudicate land and prepare deeds. According to Lands Cabinet Secretary, Charity Ngilu, until recently 67 percent of Kenya had yet to be adjudicated even as the work was supposed to be completed within 20 years after it was commissioned in 1957 by the British colonial government. To rectify the problem the government of President Uhuru Kenyatta two years ago began a major new push to produce three million titles by 2017. Recently, it was announced by the Land Surveys Department that 800,000 title deeds had been prepared and are being distributed.
The new Spectra Precision equipment is also being used in the construction of the Lamu Port Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) project, a new transport corridor comprised of a railway, fiber optic cable and oil pipeline that will connect South Sudan and Ethiopia, through Kenya, to the port city of Lamu, Kenya.
Oakar Services Ltd., a leading East Africa geospatial firm, provided the consulting services that led to the Department of Land Survey's purchase of the Spectra Precision total stations and GNSS receivers.

Here's How to Support Puerto Rico as It Recovers From Devastating Hurricane Maria
By Remezcla
ategory 4 hurricane made landfall in Puerto Rico on Wednesday. With winds of about 155 mph (nearly strong enough to be considered a Category 5), Hurricane Maria tore through the island before weakening to a Category 2 storm. (However, Hurricane Maria strengthened to a Category 3 storm as it made its way to the Dominican Republic.) The natural disaster brought torrential rain and flooding and knocked out power to the entire island.

Like many countries in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico was still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Irma, which hit the island about two weeks ago. Immediately after, Puerto Rico began delivering supplies to countries in need. It also welcomed thousands of refugees, whose homes were destroyed by Irma, from the US Virgin Islands. On September 13, about 2,000 from St. Martin and the Virgin Islands made their way to Puerto Rico, according to Reuters.
With the island expected to go without power for months, Puerto Rico now needs our help. The US territory is in the midst of a financial crisis and already struggling in many ways. It's predicted this storm will have long lasting effects. "Puerto Rico isn't going to be the same," lawyer Migdalia Caratini told the Los Angeles Times. "It's going to be before Maria and after Maria."
The road to recovery will be long, and we need to stand by Puerto Rico during these trying times. Here are some places you can donate money and time to.
ConPRmetidos
ConPRmetidos is a nonprofit organization committed to the people of Puerto Rico. The group will use the money it raises to help those affected by both Hurricane Maria and Irma. "We anticipate the funds will be used first for immediate needs of food, shelter, and water and then transition to long-term recovery efforts."
Donate here.

If we could get an organization, like 350.org to raise funds for solar cells,
and solar roofs, it would really improve the situation in Puerto Rico. The sad
truth is that another storm is very
likely, and the wires and transformers that are now being re-raised will be blown over again. Not the same for solar roofs.

Mexico offered to send aid to PR. Why not also Cuba and Venezuela as well as other Central and South American countries. I'm sure Russia, China, and North Korea would chip in as well if asked. If the US government won't do the job we should rely on the kindness of other countries.

Improve the Quality of Invention Disclosures through Researcher Outreach and Education
Originally presented: July 31, 2017
When it comes to invention disclosures, quality far outweighs quantity. In fact, too many weak disclosures can seriously bog down your office, leaving less time to focus on the high-potential IP that is your bread and butter. But how do you ensure that the disclosures you receive are consistently well drafted, so you can efficiently make "go/no go" decisions and focus on the best ones with the greatest chance at successful commercialization?
Most TTOs use a standard disclosure form for researchers to complete, and that can be helpful to get the ball rolling and assist in triage efforts. But it's not enough.
No form can give your TTO the complete picture of the patentability or market potential of an invention. That's why researcher outreach and education is so vital to the disclosure process. With up-front efforts by the TTO guiding researchers on how to articulate their invention's commercial viability, your staff will be better prepared to keep your disclosure pipeline well stocked and get your success rate soaring. A nice side benefit: good relationships with key faculty who often return to the TTO with more ideas, or spread the good word to their colleagues.
Fuentek LLC has had great success assisting universities and research organizations worldwide with this exact task, and Technology Transfer Tactics Distance Learning Division has secured the firm's Vice President Rebecca Stoughton to lead this high-impact session:
Becky will discuss:
What factors deem a disclosure "high quality"? – it's not one-size-fits-all
How to evaluate your disclosure process and get solid feedback from researchers
Heeding feedback to revise procedures effectively
How tapping successful researchers as mentors for up-and-comers can be a win-win
Tips for structuring easy-to-attend educational programs inventors will respond to
What to include in your training modules
Coaching researchers on how to tell their invention's story
Examples of "best in class" disclosures and what makes them work so well
PLUS: HEAR THE ORIGINAL RECORDING FROM THE INTERACTIVE Q&A PORTION OF THE PROGRAM

«Israeli Apartheid Week 2014»?
Jan-Aage Torp
An alarming anti-Israel campaign is developing in the Western world. On many university campuses in Europe, posters have gone up proclaiming «Israeli Apartheid Week 2014». We need to stand with Israel and pray that falsehood related to Israel will not be allowed to multiply in deceiving students in the universities where this delegitimization effort is being observed.
This week posters have gone up on many college campuses across Europe and the United States proclaiming «Israeli Apartheid Week 2014». Most of these posters bear somewhere on their faces a depiction of «the wall» (some with an Israeli flag waving atop) which separates Israel from parts of the contested territories of Judea and Samaria.
Even the well-acknowledged Norwegian Church Aid has launched a broad campaign to economically boycott Israeli goods. A primitive campaign, to tell you the truth. Even their former Executive Director, now Norwegian State Church Bishop Atle Sommerfeldt, has questioned the wisdom of their economic boycott.
At Oxford University, and similar institutions, students are invited to attend anti-Israel lectures, films and demonstrations. In some cases this cause appears to be supported by the administrations themselves. The London School of Economics' International History Department reportedly actually used the term «Israeli Apartheid» in an email sent out to students inviting them to an event organized by the local Palestine Society. After being confronted by an Israeli graduate student for forwarding an official email to the entire student body using the words «Israeli apartheid», in effect presenting it as a «fact» which would be commented upon at the forum, the department was forced to send out a clarification stressing that the positions and opinions of the email did not represent those of the department («Israelis abroad prepare to battle Israel Apartheid Week»).
Of course, Israel is not an apartheid state, nor does «the wall» set apart a people on a basis of race or creed. Over 20% of Israel's citizens residing within its internationally-recognized borders are Arab, most of them Muslim. Nor was the wall built by «state authority against the social and civil rights of a minority of citizens, due to ethnic prejudices». Rather, it was built after Israel had withdrawn its military presence from cities in Judea and Samaria, rendering up governmental autonomy to the Palestinian Authority, an authority which then sanctioned the preparation and sending forth of terrorist murderers to prey unprovoked upon Israeli citizens. Hundreds of civilians, men (women, children, Jew and Arab) were slain, and multiple thousands seriously wounded. The wall was built as a defense against these attacks. But today propagandists are using its presence as a tool to demonize Israel, banking on the ignorance or forgetfulness of the public at large as to why it was constructed in the first place. (This past Christmas season, a prominent church in the heart of London infamously spent a reported 30,000 British Pounds to construct a 30 meter long, eight meter high replica of «the wall», presumably (for all of their written disclaimers) to focus attention upon the heartless callousness of an Israeli entity against the poor citizens of «O Little Town of Bethlehem». Ironically, the very Palestinian leaders who support the «Israel Apartheid Week» have on numerous occasions declared that there will be no Jews allowed to live within the borders of any future Palestinian State.
We need to pray 1) that the falsehood related to Israel will not be allowed to multiply in deceiving students in the universities where this delegitimization effort is being observed: 2) for courageous men and women of integrity and spiritual insight to arise to counter the lies with truth.
Psalm 129.5: «Let all those who hate Zion be put to shame and turned back».

Bike Gloves: How Make Every Ride Safer?
Most casual bicycle riders do not wear bike gloves, but they can perform very important services for you if you ride a greater distance than down the block once or twice a week. Not only do they make a ride more comfortable, but they also improve safety into very important ways.
Bike gloves come in either fingerless or fingered styles. They are usually made of stretchy, breathable fabric and can be tightened near the wrist for a smooth fit. There are winter bike gloves with extra insulation so you are comfortable in any weather conditions. Most are waterproof as well.
The two most important reasons to wear bike gloves are grip and padding. First of all, it is easier to grip the handlebars of a bike with rubberized or nubbly bike gloves than it is to grip them with sweat-slick hands. This can increase your ability to steer around obstacles and maneuver through traffic.
The padding in many pairs of bike gloves help protect your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck and back from constant jostling and jarring you get when you ride over any uneven terrain. Even if you are sticking to the city streets, there is still stress being put on your hands as you lean over the handlebars. The padding in gloves is usually sick or on types that are intended to be worn mountain biking. These are created to help protect your hands if you fall off the bike and onto rough terrain, sticks or sharp rocks.

Dropsonde
(Biophon Records, 2020)
The latest Biosphere LP to receive a proper reissue through the producer's Biophon imprint may not be his most iconic effort (Cirque and Substrata land on more far more best-of lists), but that doesn't make it any less essential.
First teased in 2005 on Touch, the record started out as a six-track survey of slow-moving film sequences, twilight jazz takes, and muffled drone melodies. Once its original vinyl pressing flew off the shelves, Geir Jenssen swept in with an expanded CD edition that tacked on six more songs and made it a full-on experience.
Last month's triple LP / double CD look back at Jenssen's original Dropsonde sessions doesn't just throw us a few more brain massage bones; it features brand new artwork and seven previously unreleased pieces that could pass for an entirely new album. We're talking nearly two hours of balmy music in total, blurring the line between Biosphere's original vision and bank account-padding "bonus tracks".
That's why we actually recommend the reissue version over the original in this case — because it's hard to tell when one ends and the other begins….

Q: Каким аргуменетов передавать 1 в onClick Typescript? Есть такая функция
const onChangeHandler = (e:React.FormEvent<HTMLAnchorElement>, id:any) => {
  e.preventDefault()
  console.log(id)
}

Используется здесь
return(

    {Category.name}

)

Но функция требует еще один аргумент, так как первый идет React.FormEvent.
Какой должен быть 1 аргумент в функции onChangeHandler?

A: У Вас же написано, что первым аргументом должно быть событие. В реакте структура немного иная чем в JS но они очень схожи.
return(

    onChangeHandler(e, Category.id)} >{Category.name}

)

Вверху код решает Ваш вопрос.
const onChangeHandler = (e:React.FormEvent<HTMLAnchorElement>, id:any) => {
  console.log(e);
  e.preventDefault();
  console.log(id);
}

Можете посмотреть структуру событий Реакт приложения
Так же хочу заметить что метод preventDefault() это стандартный метод js. Вы должны знать js для того что бы перейти к другим библиотекам. Так легче будет разбираться в новых библиотеках и в чужом коде. Удачи в изучении))

Mexico teen cartel member 'El Ponchis' released, headed to U.S.
Mexican soldiers present Edgar Jimenez Lugo, known as "El Ponchis," to the media in the city of Cuernavaca in 2010.
(Antonio Sierra / Associated Press)
By Richard Fausset
MEXICO CITY — A 17-year-old former Mexican drug cartel member, who admitted to killing four people while in the group's employ, was released from a juvenile detention center early Tuesday morning and is headed to the United States, where he was born, Mexican officials said.
The youth, Edgar Jimenez Lugo, known as "El Ponchis," was released from the juvenile center in the central Mexican state of Morelos at 2:30 a.m. He then traveled in a police escort to the Mexico City airport, where he was scheduled to fly to San Antonio, said Jorge Vicente Messeguer Guillen, the Morelos government secretary, in an interview with Mexico's Milenio news channel.
Messeguer said that the youth, who had served all but about a week of his three-year sentence, had family in San Antonio. Once in the United States, Jimenez would be sent to what he referred to as a "support center" where he would be treated as a "boarder," not as an inmate.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City released a statement Tuesday morning that shed little light on the fate of the youth, who was born in San Diego.
"We are aware of Edgar Lugo's upcoming release by the Mexican authorities following completion of his sentence," the statement said. "We are closely coordinating with our Mexican counterparts and appropriate authorities in the United States regarding Edgar Lugo's release. Due to privacy considerations, we do not publicly discuss details of matters involving U.S. citizens."
Jimenez caused a stir inside and outside of Mexico when he was arrested in December 2010. At the time, he was 14 years old and already a veteran criminal. His stark circumstances brought new attention to the plight of impoverished Mexican youth who are often recruited by the drug cartels.
After his arrest, he told reporters he had been working for the Beltran Leyva drug cartel in the gritty city of Jiutepec, near the weekend retreat of Cuernavaca. He said that the gang paid him $200 a week, and that he killed four people by cutting their throats.
He said that he was 11 years old when he made his first kill. He said he killed at the behest of a man who was a suspected cartel enforcer, who threatened to kill the boy if he did not follow orders.
In the 1990s, child welfare officials removed Jimenez and five siblings from their parents' custody in San Diego. In a 2010 interview with The Times, Edgar's father, David Jimenez, said that he and his wife had been known to fight violently.
Edgar Jimenez's grandmother was appointed legal guardian and brought the children to Mexico. But she died in 2004, and Jimenez dropped out of school in the third grade.
"I'm not defending him," Messeguer said. "But … his circumstances caused him to be a victim as well."
In a separate TV interview, Morelos Gov. Graco Ramirez said that Edgar's rehabilitation had been "notable," and that he would continue it in the United States.
Ramirez said that the youth was not being extradited to the U.S. Rather, he was being sent there because his life was at risk if he remained in Morelos.

Scottish Cup Second Round
Aberdeen 5 - 1 St. Johnstone
Kick Off: 3:00 PM Armstrong 20, Strauss 27, Smith 31, Brady 53, Mills 64. McCall 3
DONS' CUP PROGRESS STILL
ARMSTRONG AND BRADY TAKE KUDOS IN ALL-SCORING FRONT LINE
After they drew level against St Johnstone at Pittodrie, Aberdeen were never in difficulties. They won even more easily score indicates.
The Dons were superior to the Perth side in team-work skill, and nowhere was their superiority more marked than in attack.
St Johnstone will never have a better chance of winning a Cup-tie. They won the toss, and had a strong wind behind them. Add to this the fact that they were a goal up within three minutes, and you will realise that everything was in their favour. But they could not take advantage of these factors for the simple fact that they had not the ability.
They did not possess the power and skill necessary to conceive and execute scoring openings. Aberdeen were momentarily shaken by the loss of the early goal, but they recovered, and by the time the interval arrived had turned the deficit into a two goals lead.
CREDIT WHERE DUE
The Dons are due all credit for their recovery. In the high wind they adopted the wise policy of keeping the ball on the ground. The result speaks for the efficacy of these tactics.
There can be no doubt that the better team won. The only excuse St Johnstone can have to offer is that they were handicapped by an injury to Smellie. Midway through the first half the left half received a thigh injury. He took the left wing berth, Caskie going inside and McCall to left half.
This upset the balance of the Perth attack, but there are no good grounds for assuming that it made any difference to the ultimate result.
Saints went ahead in three minutes. Thomson failed to get the ball away from a corner by Howe. Moulds gave to McCall, and the inside left shot into the net.
ARMSTRONG HANDY
In twenty minutes the Dons were level. Brady worked his way through to test Wylie with a hard drive. The 'keeper managed to push the ball out, but Armstrong was on the spot to volley it into the net.
Seven minutes later the visitors were fighting an uphill battle. Armstrong engineered the attack. He parted to Brady, and from the inside right the ball travelled to Strauss. The South African made no mistake with his shot.
Saints were given no time to recover. Within four minutes Smith found the net after Strauss had made the running, and the Dons were as good as in the third round.
There was little to enthuse over in the second half exchanges. St Johnstone fought on, but they must have realised they were fighting a losing battle. Aberdeen played well within themselves, but, even so, they twice added their total.
The first goal came eight minutes after the restart. Armstrong and Mills carried the ball through for Brady send into the net. With nineteen minutes played Armstrong veered out to the right, lobbed the ball into the middle and Mills scored with ease.
STINGLESS ATTACK
Except in the early stages the home defence found little difficulty in holding the Perth attack in check. Johnstone in goal had little to do and Cooper was the more impressive back.
Nicholson never gave McLaren, the Saints' leader, a chance. Yet the Englishman at times did not seem too sure of himself with the ball on the ground.
The Dons were well served at wing-half. Thomson was strong and clever, and Dunlop proved an able deputy for Fraser.
A pleasing feature about the forward play was that every member of the line found the net. Brady, who was preferred to McKenzie, played well and proved himself a grand forager and vied with Armstrong for the honour of being the best forward afield.
The Dons' leader gave a sprightly display. He never gave Moulds a chance to settle. He was here, there where. He netted one goal, and played no small part in three of the others.
Mills was seen to best advantage in the first half, when he kept the ball on the ground and opened up the attack.
MORE "DEVIL" NEEDED
Smith on the right was clever but must instil more "devil" into his play. Strauss was below form, he scored the second goal that laid the foundations for victory, but he missed three chances which, at his best, he would have seized.
St Johnstone's defence was easily opened up. Wylie in goal was the best of the rear division. Welsh and Taylor were overworked.
Mason was the best of the half-backs, but got little encouragement.
The attack never settled and revealed little cohesion. Howe on the right was the most dangerous forward. McCall might have caused a good deal of trouble had he not been forced to fall back to left half.
Meechan and Caskie were too well guarded to be effective.

Q: How to get the Client Count inside a Socket.IO room? Version 3.1.1 In Version 2.x.x it was possible to write
socket.in('room_id').clients((err, clients) => clients.length);

Is there a similar way to this in Version 3.1.1 / 3.x.x?
I know about the join-room and leave-room events, but i hope for a solution without own counting logic.

A: After some research i found out they simply renamed it into "allSockets" and changed it a little bit. The new solution now looks like this:
let length = await socket.in('room_id').allSockets().length;


But the real leap forward in the evolution of ornamental stone as a building material took place during the second half of the 20th century, thanks to the great advances of the construction industry which drove the demand for, and use of, this material, not just as a basic building component, but also as a decorative accessory.

It was a long time back, since I made any update in my blog.
This time, I'm introducing "if-else" clause in C++ programming.
Of course, it is very senseless to teach AI(Artificial Intelligence) to a learner of C/C++ programmer. But, still, this page has it's very existence.
Ever played a 3D game, where you will be surrounded by enemies?
std::cout << "Vow!! you are a brave person!!"
Got any idea about the "if" word in our program????
In fact, we should check if the value of decision is equal to one or not. Since I has not introduced the comparison operator so far, I happened to use the less than operator.
A more correct looking program should use a line like..
Note that, the "==" operator is different from "=" operator.
If we would like to do more than one line of work in our program, after an if condition, we can do so by grouping them in between flower brackets. For example..
std::cout << "Vow!! Either you are a brave person!!"
Suppose that the user selected not to fight with the lion. In such a case, we will handle the "ELSE" part of the condition.
std::cout << "Vow!! you are a brave person!! "
Please note that, an if block can exist, without an else block, but an else block can never exist, without an if block.
It is also possible to have a group of decisions. For example..
std::cout << "Would you still like to fight????"
NOTE: a break after each case mentions the end of the block. Try removing break in the above program and check what happens.

122-0901 Security Storage & Safe Deposit Company Warehouse
At the time of its listing, Norfolk's Security Storage & Safe Deposit Company Warehouse, constructed in 1916, was one of only two intact large-scale industrial buildings remaining in the downtown and Atlantic City areas of Norfolk's waterfront, where scores of warehouses and manufacturing buildings once stood. Largely intact, the warehouse retains most of its historic features, including subtle architectural and decorative elements which distinguish it from other often non-descript concrete-and-brick warehouse construction. The warehouse was used for its intended purpose from its construction through the late 20th century, providing secure storage for a variety of goods ranging from tobacco to furniture to grocery products. In 1948 it was converted from a Sears, Roebuck & Co. warehouse to the E.F. Drews & Co., Inc. Wholesale Chemists storage facility, at which time the original window openings were partially closed up. The building was renovated and repurposed using rehabilitation tax credits and its original window sashes were replicated.


Seriously, why announce a $10 DLC pack that's just three maps, and we can't even get a release date? Lame.
"Today, we would like to announce Frontier's Edge, the second DLC pack for Titanfall. Pushing the battle to the furthest reaches of the universe, Titanfall Frontier's Edge introduces three exciting new maps including the isolated mining outpost of Dig Site, the exclusive beach resort of Haven and the mining hub on the side of a mountain known as Export."

Q: Modern equivalent to Foxpro, Access, etc.? Is there a modern day equivalent to Foxpro, Access, and so on?
I'm looking for a programming environment that has database access built in as one of its most fundamental features. Something where the table data can be very easily tied into the GUI without having to write loads of glue code.
Also preferably one that compiles down to an EXE for distribution rather than having to bundle the environment itself.
Any ideas? Thanks.

A: Servoy is seems to be a popular alternative for FoxPro developers. It contains a lot of the things you are asking about.

A: In the spirit of "black is the new black", I'm going to suggest Access.  It's still around, and it still does exactly what you need.

A: Sqlite is an excellent solution.
It has cross platform compliance. Adapters for .NET, Java, etc.
For front-end management of Sqlite databases, see here.

A: I think you will find that most people consider that the "all-in-one" options cannot, by definition, be "modern".  That's because they use file-server database engines rather than client-server ones (if they used client-server engines, the database and user front-end would, by necessity, be separate processes).
I spend most of my time using file-server databases and find that they work great for the companies I work with.  But most people do not consider this kind of technology, which has limited scalability and is subject to file corruption problems if there are network issues, to be very up-to-date.
There are some development environments (my favorite is Delphi, but VS .NET is also in this category) which claim to provide the same development productivity that the all-in-one products do, but I don't find this to be the case.  I would love to see a product that "binds" to different database backends and provide the kind of productivity you get from Access, for instance, but if it exists I haven't heard about it.
Access is still being developed and supported, and I believe there's a current version of FoxPro as well.  I also spend a lot of time with a niche product, R:Base, which I find to be highly productive and to produce good-looking applications, but there are certainly trade-offs in terms of the programming language and access to the operating system.

A: I think that you can use Delphi for development tools, Firebird for the database a database and IBExpert for the IDE of the database

Immigration activists aren't focused on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump anymore; instead, they're focusing on Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), according to Politico.
"The California liberal with a tough-on-crime streak is stirring deep anxiety among immigration activists ever since she said she would write a bill that would force localities to comply with federal immigration requests — prompted by the death of a San Francisco woman, allegedly at the hands of an immigrant here illegally," Politico reported Monday.
Feinstein and fellow Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) received backlash from immigration activists after they said they might draft legislation regarding sanctuary cities following the death of Kate Steinle, who was shot and killed in San Francisco by an illegal felon.
In an interview with Politico, Feinstein said her legislation would counterbalance measures put forth by Republicans.

Ро́берт Уи́льям Ламм (; род. 13 октября 1944 года, Нью-Йорк, США) — американский музыкант, клавишник, певец и автор песен, наиболее известный как один из основателей (наряду с Джеймсом Панкоу и Ли Лафнейном) рок-группы Chicago.

Биография и творчество
Роберт Ламм родился 13 октября 1944 года в Бруклине, Нью-Йорк. У его родителей была коллекция джазовых записей, которые оказали на него влияние в ранние годы. В юности он выступал в мужском хоре при Епископальной церкви Грейс в районе Бруклин-Хайтс.

Когда Роберту было 15 лет, его мать повторно вышла замуж, в результате чего он переехал в Чикаго, штат Иллинойс. Там, учась в средней школе, он изучал искусство, особенно рисование и живопись, но в колледже поменял направление занятий и продолжил обучение по музыкальной программе при Рузвельтском университете Чикаго.

В 1967 году Ламм стал одним из шести членов-основателей «рок-группы с рогами» (rock band with horns), вскоре ставшей известной как Chicago, членом которой он является по сей день. Он играл на клавишных и сочинял песни, такие как "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", "Beginnings", "Questions 67 & 68", "Free", "25 or 6 to 4", "Another Rainy Day in New York City", "Harry Truman", "Saturday in the Park" и др. До начала 1980-х он был и одним из основных вокалистов группы, пока Питер Сетера не взял эту роль на себя. После записи шести успешных альбомов, в 1974 году Ламм выпустил Skinny Boy — единственный сольный альбом какого-либо участника Chicago до 1980-х годов. После этого у него, похоже, наступил период личного и профессионального спада. Но в 1982 году он в лучшем виде вновь предстал перед поклонниками.

Несколько сольных альбомов появились после того, как Ламм в 1991 году переехал обратно в Нью-Йорк. Там он сформировал трио (Бекли-Ламм-Уилсон) с Джерри Бекли из группы America и Карлом Уилсоном из The Beach Boys. Через два года после смерти Уилсона в феврале 1998-го от рака лёгких был выпущен альбом под названием Like a Brother (2000).

Все эти сольные альбомы и песни были дополнением к продолжающимся полуактивным записям Chicago: Stone of Sisyphus, Night and Day, Chicago XXX и Chicago Now 36.

Ламм был приглашённым лектором по музыкальному продюсированию в Стэнфордском университете. В 2012 году он читал лекции в Нью-Йоркском университете на тему написания песен.

Личная жизнь
С 1970 по 1971 год Ламм был женат на ныне покойной Карен Ламм Уилсон (урождённой Перк). В 1976 году он женился во второй раз — на Джули Нини; у пары родилась дочь по имени Саша. В 1981 году Роберт и Джули развелись. В 1985 году Ламм женился в третий раз — на актрисе Алекс Доннелли; у них родились две дочери — Кейт и Шон. В 1991-м Ламм расстался и с третьей своей женой. В тот же год он женился в четвёртый раз — на Джой Копко; у них нет совместных детей.

Astrid Scholte Books In Order
Four Dead Queens (2019) Hardcover Paperback Kindle
The Vanishing Deep (2020) Hardcover Paperback Kindle
Astrid Scholte is a Singaporean author living in Melbourne Australia. Her area of specilitazation in writing books is science fiction, young adult and fantasy genres. She is best known for her 2019 debut novel Four Dead Queens which received positive critics from readers around the world.
Raised on a diet of Lucas, Disney and Spielberg, Miss Scholte knew well that she wanted to be surrounded by all things fantastical right from a young age. She has been fascinated by all things fantasy ever since her parent took her to Disneyland. She spent more over ten years working in animation, film and television as an artist and a manager. She has worked on James Cameron's all times best movie, The Avatar, Happy Feet 2 by George Miller and Steven Spielberg's film The Adventures of Tin Tin. A visual writer, Astrid aims to capture stories that play like films in her head vividly. When not writing, you will find her helping her furry overloads Mickey and Lilo and painting her fictional characters.
Four Dead Queens
Imagine of Red Queen world with factions from Divergent or districts from The Hunger Games, but a queen ruled each of these districts/factions. Astrid's debut novel Four Dead Queens is a young adult book influenced by these predecessors.
Under each division is a queen and each division has its ideas and ways of living. For example, the faction of Archia ruled by Iris favors hard work like farming and isn't concerned with anything related to technology or advancement. It the hardworking of the four divisions and its people have no sense of attitude. They are strong-willed, humbled and love both nature and the old ways. They view technology as more destructive as it is helpful.
On the other hand, the quadrant of Eonia can be compared to the Erudite faction from the Divergent series since they value to medicine and technology. They live in the coldest and barren part of the land. They are the most disciplined of the four factions. To overcome their harsh climate and lack of natural resources they focus more on technology. But this only results in a society with people characterized by disconnected emotions never connecting to anything or anyone.
What happens when a king dies without an heir? This is the problems that Quadara, a country divided into four factions with four queens on the throne faces. While Eonia is known for its advances in technology, science and medicine, Ludia is considered a cultural hub where the residents are mainly focused on literature, fashion, and music. The only shortcoming Ludian's have is that they are more naïve than the other divisions. So their young generations and some adults are unprepared to face the harsh reality of life. Toria serves as the Quadara's capital, and its residents are seekers of knowledge, merchants and artisans who built boats and sailed to explore the world, and as a result, they discovered the fourth quadrant known as Archia. But despite all these, the Torians are also greedy and demanding.
In the initial years of the founding of this great country, the ruler of Quadara was a king. The king married four women, each queen from each quadrant- to taste what each quadrant had to offer.
When the king died, leaving no heir behind, the four queens decided that they'd rule the country together. Each queen was to represent the faction she was from thus giving them equal voice and power ever since the four queens rule the country.
The four queens have set what's known as Queenly Laws, a set of rules that state how the country shall be ruled. These laws have helped keep the country instability and also helped shaped the country by providing the rules of succession and structure of the government. The laws also outline what's expected of each queen. But rules are provisioned to be broken, and all the current Queens have a lot of skeletons in their closets. All the skeletons are purged from their confinement one by one as each queen is murdered.
Four Dead Queens is both a young adult novel and a murder mystery as well. Right from the start, the story draws you in, and drama unfolds swiftly making for a fast read. The narrative alternates between the queen's stories and the main characters, Keralie, a professional thief who's hired by the main villain Mackiel and Varin a messenger.
The author does a fantastic job in character development. One of the characters you'd love to hate in the story is Keralee, the heroine. She is a liar, thief, and a manipulator whose self-serving and selfish behavior resulted in her father left in a coma after crashing the family boat to teach him a lesson. She is filled with angst and guilt and her actions since the day she almost killed her beloved father show that she's learned some lessons.
Varin is a young, innocent and adorable like a little puppy. He's also smart, sneaky, wise and strong especially given the fact how life has been cruel for him in the past. Then there's Mackiel, the type of person who takes your weakness and tweaks it for their self-gain with the scheming mind.
Astrid also did a wonderful job of crafting the relationships that exist between the different characters in the story. The relationships of friendships and enmities, the complex relationship between Kera, her best friend and her family and the bonds the sister queens are all three dimensional something that most authors find impossible to achieve especially in a standalone novel with a plot this big.
Overall, Astrid Scholte's debut novel Four Dead Queens explores the ups and downs and the treasures and dangers of love. In a world full of secrets, there is always a price to pay for everything we desire. In the end, the big questions are who we are? Is it possible to be ourselves if we are not free to love? Who lies inside the darkness that lurks deep within us?

I have found a couple more new sites to earn from.
Adbux is a very new website and pays for clicking links and viewing the advertisers websites for 15 seconds. The great thing about this is that you get paid $0.01 per page viewed and you get paid the same amount if your referrals view the pages too. You can view each page once every 24 hours. The minimum withdrawal amount is just $5 and can be paid into paypal the day it is requested.
is a fairly new site too. It works by giving you points every time you read an email that they send to you or sign up a new referral. Then they credit each member with a percentage of their monthly earnings. I signed up last month and read every email that was sent to me and earned $10.15 with no referrals. I was pretty pleased with this as it was hardly any effort at all. The minimum withdrawal amount is $20 and pay out to Paypal or by cheque.

Grand film finale of community art project
Grand film finale of Keswick community art project
By Tracy Walker Reporter
A SHORT film starring Keswick and Cumbrian community members will be screened at the Alhambra cinema on Saturday.
The film is the outcome of a long-running art project called Desire Lines focused on Crow Park in Keswick. It explores the relationship between communities in the town and the local landscape.
The project has been hosted by the National Trust and was led by artist Rebecca Beinart, who has worked with over 100 people in the town since January 2020.
The people involved range from the pupil's arts council at St Herbert's Primary School to members of Sustainable Keswick and Keswick Natural History Society.
Directing the film enabled Rebecca to collaborate with a number of Cumbria-based artists and creatives, including film maker and sound artist RL Wilson, film maker Laurence Campbell, writer and artist Wallace Heim and costume designer Maggi Toner-Edgar.
Creative writing by community participants helped to form the script, and the costumes were made from unwanted outdoor material donated by local companies with help from Viri Sica and the repair shop at Alpkit Keswick.
Rebecca said: "The Desire Lines film is rooted in Crow Park and explores how a familiar viewpoint can reveal different ways of experiencing place.
"It brings together different strands from workshops and research throughout the project, including visual design, costumes, movement and creative writing.
"It's been amazing to work with so many local people over the past 18 months – through the challenges of the pandemic – and to be able to share a collaborative creation."
Jessie Binns, from the National Trust, said: "It's been such a humbling process seeing the outpouring of creativity from the people who live on the doorstep of Crow Park, which we've cared for on behalf of the nation since 1925.
"Listening to the voices of the people who live and work in the places we look after is so vital.
"This project has also highlighted the importance of listening to the non-human voices too: in the film the weather, water, plants, birds, animals and insects – even the geology – get a starring role."
The short film will be made available to watch online via the website nationaltrust.org.uk/desire-lines a week after the premiere.
The project is part of Trust New Art, the National Trust's programme of contemporary arts, supported with public funding by Arts Council England and produced with support from Arts&Heritage.

When Jean Puech was France's agriculture minister in the Balladur government (1993-5), he wanted to show off some of the attractions of the area around the village of Rignac (Aveyron), of which he was mayor, to his fellow European agriculture ministers. One such attraction is the tiny village of Belcastel, which is overlooked by a medieval castle and has a high-arched 600-year-old bridge over the Aveyron river, down which the occasional kingfisher streaks. The village has b
