The Corinthia London — the good old Metropole
( words)
THE CORINTHIA, LONDON
In 2012 a glamorous five-star hotel opened near to London's Trafalgar Square. However, this was no new hotel. Not at all, just one that had been missing for decades. Unlike many of today's central London hotels, it was not sited in a former bank or newspaper office. The angular building in which the Corinthia, London sits today was actually opened in 1885 as the Metropole Hotel. The builder, Frederick Gordon (1835-1904) of Herefordshire was something of a legend in the world of British hospitality. At the end of the nineteenth century he was referred to as the "Napoleon of the Hotel World", possibly a soubriquet he had cunningly coined for himself.
London Hotel Metropole 1890
Frederick Gordon had trained originally as a lawyer but in his late thirties, recognising a dire need, he moved into creating elegant restaurants across the British capital, something of an innovation in the wealthy but dreary 1870s. From restaurants it was a short step to building hotels where gentleman diners could also stay overnight. By the 1880s he had become the go-to entrepreneur when a bold new hotel development was required. Gordon was fortunate to be working in London at a time when it was the biggest city in the world, fed with wealth from the biggest empire the world had ever known. Money was no object and Gordon got in early, even before Richard D'Oyly Carte created his world-famous Savoy Hotel in 1889.
Among Gordon's many hotels were the Grand Hotel, Trafalgar Square which dominated its next-door neighbour, the Metropole Hotel. He also built and owned the massive seafront Burlington Hotel in the fashionable resort of Eastbourne; the equally massive Brighton Metropole; the Hotel Metropole, Cannes; and the elegant Hotel Metropole, Monte Carlo where he would eventually die in his own suite in 1904.
Spooling back... in 1883 Gordon started work on the Metropole in London. It was one of four towering new hotels commissioned to be built along Northumberland Avenue for the accommodation of the massive influx of affluent international travellers arriving in London daily at nearby Charing Cross Station. Northumberland Avenue had only recently been completed. It was carved out of London's West End in 1876 following the demolition of the Duke of Northumberland's old palace close to Charing Cross itself. Local planning restrictions forbade any building to be taller than the width of the road it fronted. As there was an appetite for grand seven-storey hotels in this bustling location, the construction of an unusually wide carriageway was the answer. The Grand occupied a position on Northumberland Avenue very close to Trafalgar Square, which left the Metropole in a smaller, triangular wedge of ground at the less prestigious junction of Northumberland Avenue and Whitehall Place. For this reason, the hotel we know as the Corinthia today resembled New York's angular Flatiron building on its southern pointed edge.
The Metropole opened in 1885 with an 88-page prospectus extolling the virtues of the hotel's position on Northumberland Avenue:
"That the hotel's location is particular recommends it to ladies and families visiting the West End during the Season; to travellers from Paris and the Continent, arriving from Dover and Folkestone at the Charing Cross Terminus; to Officers and others attending the levees at St James; to Ladies going to the Drawing Rooms, State Balls, and Concerts at Buckingham Palace; and to colonial and American visitors unused to the great world of London". The hotel boasted a splendid salon known as the Dutch Room, an "Oak Saloon" and Jacobean Library. There was also a Chinese-decorated Restaurant des Ambassadeurs.
In the immediate years following its opening, the Metropole was patronised by the playboy Prince of Wales, Britain's future Edward VII who kept a box reserved for him in its ballroom. It also acted as the gathering point for competitors in the first London to Brighton Race in 1896, a vintage car event later commemorated in the 1953 Ealing comedy Genevieve.
In the run-up to World War I, because of its proximity to Downing Street and British government offices in Whitehall, the Metropole hotel was requisitioned to provide accommodation for government staff, together with the other three major hotels in Northumberland Avenue. The night before the British Expeditionary Force embarked for France on the outbreak of war in August 1914, its two Commanders-in-Chief, Field Marshals John French and Douglas Haig, both stayed at the Metropole.
Four traumatic years later, the Metropole reopened with its "Midnight Follies" quickly becoming a well-known cabaret fixture in London during the Roaring 1920s. Bert Firman, aged only 16 became the youngest bandleader in the world at the Metropole.
In 1936, according to hotel records* the Metropole was sold to the British government, this time to house the Air Ministry. From here much of the crucial Battle of Britain was commanded in 1940. The Metropole was also home to other military departments. Bedroom 424 became the home for the recently-created MI9 department and its sub-division the Special Operations Executive. Here much of Operation Overlord (D-Day) was planned.
Right up until 1992 the Metropole housed the bulk of the Defence Intelligence Staff. When the James Bond comic strip was drawn in the Daily Express newspaper, from 1958 to 1983, the artist Yaroslavl Horak used the distinct triangular facade of the Metropole to depict MI6's headquarters.
In 2007 the Metropole Building and the adjoining complex known as 10 Whitehall Place were acquired for £130 million by a Maltese, Libyan and Dubai consortium. By September 2008 the City of Westminster council had approved development of the two buildings as a hotel and residential complex.
This distinctive triangular building reopened in 2012 as a hotel to be managed by the Maltese Corinthia Group with 10 Whitehall Place sold on as 12 perfectly-located residences. In November of the same year the hotel's ballroom was the apt venue for the official announcement of the new James Bond movie Skyfall.
Today the Corinthia is probably more glamorous than it has ever been. Its three-year refurbishment clearly cost a small fortune. There are now 263 bedrooms including 51 suites and seven penthouses and a four-storey spa. The Jacobean Library is now Kerridge's Bar & Grill, named after its host, the Michelin-starred English chef Tom Kerridge. The Restaurant des Ambassadeurs today is known as the Northall Restaurant and is at the apex of that triangular footprint. The restaurant's name is a portmanteau coinage of Northumberland Avenue and Whitehall.
Having recently stayed at The Corinthia, London I have experienced its superb levels of hospitality, service and cuisine. Here in Britain we have a tendency to think that "things ain't what they used to be". I suspect, however, that at the Corinthia things are better than they ever were.

With more than 2,000 planted acres, McKinley Spring Vineyards represents about 5 percent of all the state's plantings. The first vineyard was planted in 1980, and 22 varieties of grapes are now grown there. Another 600 acres of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and syrah will be added over the next three years, according to Vineyard Manager Rob Andrews.
The vineyard also produces 18 percent of the wine grapes grown within the Horse Heaven Hills Appellation, where it is located. That includes wines bottled under their own estate label, McKinley Springs Winery, in Prosser, which turns out around 6,000 cases of wine annually.
2011 Viognier (about $16) — Peach and vanilla cream flavors hit the palate, with a big, round quality to begin. On the finish, more of a crisp, edgy texture comes through, with touches of lemon zest. This wine paired perfectly with an entrée of roasted fingerling potatoes and poached salmon.
2010 Malbec (about $24) — Wonderfully complex and evolving aromas of ultra-dark plum, toasted almond, caramel and sage lead off. Reserved wild blackberry flavors predominate, nicely balanced with gentle acidity and mineral notes on a soft finish. The wine was aged 18 months in 20 percent new French oak barrels.
2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (about $24) — The 2010 vintage, which some predicted would be an off year for Washington, is turning out some gorgeous wines, and this true-to-the-varietal cabernet is a perfect example. Caramel and baking spice on the nose, bright notes of red currant, and underlying layers of Ligurian cherry and boysenberry highlight this excellent wine. The finish hints at toasted oak with perfectly integrated tannins.

China issues white paper on community with shared future in cyberspace
0 Comment(s) Print E-mail Xinhua, November 7, 2022
China's State Council Information Office on Monday issued a white paper titled "Jointly Build a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace."
The white paper introduced China's vision of internet development and governance in the new era and its actions, shared its achievements in promoting the building of a community with a shared future in cyberspace, and outlined the prospects for international cooperation.
The internet has turned the world into a global village, and the international community is becoming more and more interconnected, with a shared future becoming more apparent, the white paper said.
The white paper called it the responsibility of all of humanity to develop, use, and manage the internet well and make it more beneficial to mankind.
As the world's largest developing country and the country with the largest number of internet users, China "understands the underlying trends of the information age; upholds a people-centered approach; and supports global governance based on extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits," read the paper.
In the new development stage and guided by the new development philosophy, China is building a new development dynamic, it said.
China is set to build up its strength in cyberspace and digital technologies, said the white paper, noting that progress has been made in boosting the digital economy, building a clean and sound online environment, and guarding against risks to cyberspace security.
By 2021, the value of China's digital economy had reached 45.5 trillion yuan, accounting for 39.8 percent of its GDP, said the white paper.
By June 2022, there were 1.05 billion internet users in China, and the internet penetration rate had reached 74.4 percent, read the white paper, adding that the country hosts the world's largest 5G network and becomes one of the global leaders in 5G standards and technology, with 1.85 million 5G cell towers and 455 million 5G cell phone subscribers.
In 2021, China's online retail sales of consumer goods stood at 10.8 trillion yuan, up 12 percent year-on-year, said the white paper. The turnover in China's cross-border e-commerce reached 1.92 trillion yuan, up 18.6 percent year-on-year.
China has continued to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation in cyberspace, according to the white paper.
It has engaged in active cross-border collaboration in terms of the digital economy, cyberspace security, and reform and development of global cyberspace governance to promote inclusive development of the internet, said the paper, noting that all these efforts contribute to building a community with a shared future in cyberspace.
While using the internet to eliminate its own poverty, China has used technology to help developing countries improve broadband access in the poorest areas and areas with low population density. It has worked to provide universal and affordable internet access in the least developed countries, in order to eliminate poverty caused by lack of network facilities, according to the white paper.
China has actively developed digital public products and expanded cooperation in digital public services. Since the global outbreak of COVID-19, pandemic forecasting platforms and robocalls developed in China have helped control and mitigation in other countries, read the white paper.
Calling the internet the shared home of all of humanity, the white paper said it is the common responsibility of the international community to make this home cleaner, safer, and more prosperous.
The white paper stated China's readiness to work with other countries to foster an open, inclusive, and vibrant cyberspace that is fairer, more secure, and more stable, calling for concerted efforts to build a community with a shared future in cyberspace and create a better world.

dc.description.abstract The effect of retaining base flow non-parallelism in the local linear spatiotemporal stability analysis of slender low-density jets, discharging from a round injector into a quiescent ambient, is studied in the present work. Retaining base flow non-parallelism in the local linear stability analysis was found to have a stabilizing effect in the flow closer to the injector exit. This effect was greater the lower the values of the Reynolds number and the initial momentum thickness of the velocity profile at the injector exit. When comparing the results obtained to existing experimental data, maintaining the base flow non-parallelism in the analysis gave better agreement with the experimental data than not taking base flow non-parallelism into account. Furthermore, it changed the evolution of the local stability properties so that a more theoretically sound criteria could be used in determining the absolute or convective unstable nature of the flow. This allows to reduce the uncertainty in the stability description of the flow when base flow non-parallelism is retained in the stability analysis.

Australian Museum opens Burra
Australian Museum opens Burra: a ground-breaking, interactive learning and play space
Farley Fitzgerald, Claire Vince
Friday 1 July 2022, Sydney: The journey of the eel from the Pacific Ocean down the east Australian current to Sydney harbour is told in Burra, a new multi-million dollar permanent learning and play space at the Australian Museum (AM) combining First Nations and western science. Burra was officially opened today by NSW Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and the Arts The Hon. Ben Franklin MLC.
Burra, which means eel in the First Nations languages of Sydney and the South Coast, allows curious children aged 0-14 to follow the extraordinary life cycle of the eel across fresh, brackish and saltwater ecosystems. Along the way, children will learn about the environment and the importance of taking care of it through fun and interactive experiences – including a giant eel.
At the official opening for the space today, NSW Minister for the Arts Ben Franklin said the Burra is a great way for children and families across the state to experience culture and science.
"As a truly unique experience in the heart of Gadigal Country, Burra is an exciting new state-of-the-art gallery that immerses you in western science and Aboriginal knowledge. It's fantastic to see the Australian Museum leading the way in this space – at the intersection of science and culture – and even better that Burra is accessible for everyone to enjoy with the extension of free general admission at the Australian Museum," Minister Franklin said.
Located on level two of the AM covering 700sqm, Burra features two multi-purpose teaching spaces and several versatile programming areas, as well as a theatre where visitors will learn the Gundungurra cultural creation story of the Jenolan Caves in the Blue Mountains featuring Gurangatch (a giant eel-like creature) and Mirrigan (a large native marsupial). In Burra, visitors will also explore First Nations technologies, investigate dioramas of local flora and fauna like mangroves and rockpools, see a stone core dug from under the AM by the AMRI Geosciences team and experience a projection of the East Australian Current.

"First Nations knowledge is based on deep respect and relationships with nature. Learning about these intimate connections between First Nations Peoples and the environment, alongside western science, will help visitors gain a relatable experience of science and help build knowledge of local cultural wisdom. There's never been a better time to open Burra, just in time for NAIDOC Week and the winter school holidays," McKay said.
"This landmark education centre – made possible by generous support from the NSW Government and our partners and donors – challenges the traditional museum model by bringing together First Nations, Pacific and Western scientific and cultural knowledge systems in new and ground-breaking ways.
"It demonstrates how science and culture can actively support and enrich each other, while sharing the importance of caring for Country and looking after our environment," McKay said.

Laura McBride, Wailwan and Kooma woman and Director, First Nations at the AM, said the eel is significant in many different First Nations cultures in the region.
"Burra's journey teaches us about our local ecosystems and the impact humans have had upon the eel and other living beings. The Burra education space incorporates Indigenous values that can help us reframe how we think and interact with each other and our environment' Laura McBride
"I'd like to thank the many Aboriginal and Pasifika community members who shared their knowledge and stories for Burra. One of the highlights of the project was a workshop we held with Aboriginal Elders and youth, who created a Possum Skin Cloak featuring stories and knowledge of Country and culture that they wanted to teach to visitors at the Museum," McBride said.
Professor Kristofer Helgen, Chief Scientist and Director, Australian Museum Research Institute said Burra will help children engage in critical thinking about the world around them.
"In Burra, visitors will learn about science including biodiversity, biology and geology as they follow Burra the Eel through different ecosystems, all while learning how First Nations Peoples have been caring for Country for thousands of generations," Helgen said.
"The eel is the perfect main character for Burra because of its own epic journey and adaptation to its environments. Eels begin their lives in the Pacific and migrate to the coasts, estuaries and freshwater rivers of Australia where they spend decades inland maturing. These animals are both fascinating and mysterious – we still don't know for sure exactly where they breed or lay their eggs, " Helgen added.
The Burra team worked with First Nations communities to develop content for the exhibition, including wall murals by artist Jasmine Miikika Craciun, a Barkindji, Malyangapa, and Tongan woman. The artworks are directly informed by Country itself with inspiration taken from eel habitats between North Sydney, far south coast, and Burragorang Valley.
Burra opens FREE to the public on Saturday 2 July. A special program of activities will celebrate the opening weekend of Burra as part of NAIDOC Week and the winter school holidays, including weaving and language workshops with Elders and community members who contributed to Burra.
Burra
Permanent education space Open daily
The Burra build is supported by the NSW Government as part of the Australian Museum's major transformation, Project Discover. Burra is also funded by the Australian Museum Foundation through an extraordinary bequest from the estate of the late Patricia McDonald a former AM Educator. Patricia believed in a hands-on approach to children's discovery of the natural world and was a pioneer of AM education. The programming and education in Burra space made possible thanks to the support of generous donors and partners including Wollemi Capital Group, Charles Warman Foundation, Vanessa Tay and Alex Ding, IAS Fine Art Logistics, WPP and Westpac.

Taking initiative can create new opportunities you might not have ever expected. This is exactly what two Mizzou students did when they saw a room full of broadcast equipment, a chance to do something special, and had a passion for League of Legends.
Mizzou Junior Eric Lopez has been casting League of Legends games for a hobby on and off for the past two years. After not moving forward in the Mizzou Esports walk-on tryouts, he was not going to let that stop him from participating in the game he loves. Lopez reached out to League of Legends Head Coach Shawn Whitmore to turn his hobby into something more.
"I asked Shawn, do you want someone to cast this last game for you? He said yes and I did a solo cast and it was very funny," Lopez said. "Then afterwards, he asked if I wanted to do this on a regular basis and I said yes, of course, so now I do it weekly during the team's regular season matches."
However, Lopez soon realized he needed a co-caster and took the initiative to reach out to Mizzou Junior Alex Wilson to help him break down the games. Wilson knew about the Mizzou Esports team from his time in the League of Legends Club on campus and quickly wanted to get involved with esports broadcasting.
"I didn't come to the Journalism School for that, but the opportunity was right in front of me," Wilson said. "I thought that was probably one of the coolest things within the sphere of gaming instead of being an actual esports player; so I wanted to talk about the game just as much as I wanted to play it."
Lopez and Wilson casted their first League of Legends stream together by just observing the gameplay on a TV with a single mic.
"Yeah, it really hit us right after the first cast. They were planning to have us do the next one remotely, but it was Eric who was like 'No, no, no, give us a space. Let's feel real,'" Wilson said. "We've got a space. I know we have a booth. Let's see what we can do."
Along with Mizzou Senior Josh Raub, Whitemore, Lopez and Wilson got together and put together an official broadcast studio space inside the MSI Training Facility.
The final product of their effort is a full broadcast studio desk supported by three light panels, sound proof installation, camera and studio mic all synced up to an operating computer system adjacent to the broadcast desk.
"The second stream we did was leaps and bounds better than the first and then the next one we are going to have even more," Wilson said. "We're going towards the digital side of it. We've got the space, and now we are developing digital assets."
"We really just wanted to build this League of Legends broadcasting media outlet that had a professional style booth, and everything you see is inspired from that idea," Lopez said.
Lopez and Wilson's first stream had about 70 concurrent viewers. They say their goal is to reach 150 concurrent viewers by being creative and making each stream better than the last.
"The goal is to keep growing," Lopez said. "We are putting in hours of work with Josh and putting in the work to enhance our visuals and digital features."
Motivation is as motivation goes, you either have it or you don't," Wilson said. "So we pulled up our sleeves and worked with each other to build this space, and build it the right way."


By now you would have read all the articles about "who to cheer for" if your team isn't in the postseason. I may be the only one saying this, but, you don't have to cheer for anyone if you don't want to. You don't have to watch or pay attention to playoffs. If you're a fan of the Oilers, you probably care a lot more about the draft lottery on April 30th. But, if you just love the game of hockey and still plan to watch the games with intrigue, here are a few former Oiler players to keep an eye on, and maybe even root for (assuming you aren't angry at them, of course).
If you're looking for Canadian content, the Panthers have the most players born in Canada. The Ducks, Blues and Flyers have the most ex-Oilers, while the Penguins probably have the most polarizing one of them all. I think there's a good segment of Oiler fans who are happy that Sam Gagner is experiencing the postseason for the first time. It only took him 614 games.
@JulieEY Okay, good point. So you are indirectly still cheering for the Oilers, albeit, ex-Oilers.
You may just be watching the playoffs from a completely neutral standpoint, hoping only to see exciting hockey with no particular rooting interest. Maybe you just have a favorite player to go for, with no affection for his team. But if you are borrowing a team to cheer for this Spring, which one is it? Have your say in the comment section below.

Sponsored Post – This post was sponsored by Big Country Raw, however all words and opinions expressed are all my own.
The lovely people at Big Country Raw reached out to us and asked us if we would be interested trying a raw diet for Tibby.
Big Country Raw is is located in the heart of the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada. They only use locally sourced suppliers and all of their products are federally inspected human grade, hormone and antibiotic free. They prepare and package this food themselves in small batches to ensure the freshest raw available! The BCR store serves the GTA and delivers once a week to the GTA area.
We had heard good things going raw, such as less shedding, cleaner teeth, and less doggy odor, but we had a list of concerns about going raw.
Tibby is a notoriously picky eater, she's been known to take treats from people and then spit them back out (which is pretty embarrassing for her mama, let me tell you).
However, Geraldine (the owner of BCR) was extremely sweet and helpful in putting together a diet that worked for Tibby, that was balanced and made sure she got the nutrients she needed.
This is a picture of all the types of food we got! (Squee! I just love getting delivery, and yes, I know it's not for me). Tibby seemed to give her paw of approval, as she gave every container a generous licking.

While implementing enterprise SOA, it is important to consider deploying a service catalog for services. There is a lot of confusion between the concepts of registry, repository and service catalog.
Traditionally a registry has been a lookup service provided to service consumers. Service providers register their services in the registry and service consumers select an appropriate service for their needs. Standards such as UDDI addressed these needs.The Registry would contain service descriptions, service contracts and service policies that describe a service. Service registries have also been practically used for determining a service end-point address at runtime based on the service unique name.
So what is a repository? As the importance of SOA Governance grew, it became necessary to capture more meta-data about a service. A service repository integrates information about a service from multiple sources and stores it in a centralized database. Service information may include design artifacts, deployment topologies, service code repository, service monitoring stats, etc. Vendors have started positioning their generic asset management products as SOA repositories. For e.g. Rational Asset Manager.
A lot of vendors now sell a combined product that consists of the registry and repository. For e.g. IBM Websphere Registry and Repository.
A service catalog is a concept that can be implemented using SOA registry/repository products.

WinWind team publishes two new articles on social acceptance of wind energy projects and on community energy
The WinWind FFU team (Dr. Rosaria Di Nucci, Michael Krug, Dörte Themann and Anna Will) have just published two further articles highlighting key results of WinWind, a project under the Horizon 2020 programme which has been finalized recently.
News from Apr 28, 2020
De Luca; Elena, Nardi; C., Giuffrida, L.G; Krug, M. and M. R Di Nucci (2020). Explaining Factors Leading to Community Acceptance of Wind Energy. Results of an Expert Assessment. Energies 2020, 13(8), 2119; https://doi.org/10.3390/en13082119
The present article deals with two key drivers of social acceptance of wind energy: procedural justice and distributional justice. It is based on a comparative expert assessment carried out in the frame of the Horizon 2020 project WinWind covering six European countries. The focus of the paper is on procedural and financial participation of citizens and local stakeholders in wind energy projects. The first part covers institutional arrangements for public engagement in two areas of the decision-making process—wind turbine zoning/siting in spatial plans and authorization procedures. Here, three levels of public involvement—information, consultation and participation—were analyzed. The second part examines active and financial participation of citizens and local stakeholders. Here, we distinguish between two different modes of governance: institutionalized forms of public governance and voluntary forms of corporate governance. The outcomes suggest that concrete paths to the social acceptance of wind energy are fostered via appropriate institutional spaces for public engagement. Furthermore, missing opportunities for active and passive financial participation can have strong negative consequences for community acceptance.
Krug, M.; Di Nucci, M.R. (2020): Citizens at the heart of energy transition in Europe? Opportunities and Challenges for Community Wind Farms in six European Countries. Renewable Energy Law Policy Review 2020, 9, 9–27.
This article has a specific focus on community wind energy. It is based on the preliminary findings of the Horizon 2020 project WinWind, which analyses acceptance factors of wind energy projects in so called wind energy scarce regions of six European countries (Germany, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland and Spain). The paper assesses the status of community wind energy in these six countries and discusses key challenges and opportunities for renewable energy communities. Furthermore, the paper asks to what extent these countries are shaping enabling frameworks for community energy projects and whether national support schemes for renewable energy take into consideration the specific characteristics of the renewable energy communities, particularly in the field of wind energy.

In molecular biology, sirohaem synthase (or siroheme synthase) (CysG) is a multi-functional enzyme with S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-dependent bismethyltransferase, dehydrogenase and ferrochelatase activities. Bacterial sulphur metabolism depends on the iron-containing porphinoid sirohaem. CysG synthesizes sirohaem from uroporphyrinogen III via reactions which encompass two branchpoint intermediates in tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, diverting flux first from protoporphyrin IX biosynthesis and then from cobalamin (vitamin B12) biosynthesis. CysG is a dimer. Its dimerisation region is 74 amino acids long, and acts to hold the two structurally similar protomers held together asymmetrically through a number of salt-bridges across complementary residues within the dimerisation region. CysG dimerisation produces a series of active sites, accounting for CysG's multi-functionality, catalysing four diverse reactions:

Two SAM-dependent methylations
NAD+-dependent tetrapyrrole dehydrogenation
Metal chelation

Groundbreaking For New Jobs Training Center
WAMC Northeast Public Radio | By Paul Tuthill
WAMC
A new skills training center is being built in western Massachusetts to help put low income residents of Springfield to work and to help preserve an attraction that annually draws tens of thousands of people from throughout the region.
The $3 million job training facility that is being constructed in Springfield's Forest Park is an unusual partnership that includes the city's parks department, local trade unions, the regional employment board, and a private nonprofit that puts on the huge Bright Nights holiday light festival.
At a ceremonial groundbreaking Monday, Massachusetts Congressman Richard Neal announced the project had received a $1.3 million grant from the Economic Development Administration. He said this new facility can help fulfill a regional demand for thousands of skilled workers.
" Skills set, job training, and globalization can best be confronted by acquainting young people with the opportunities that are going to come in the modern economy," said Neal.
The center will offer training in carpentry, electrical, welding and painting.
Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno said the city has committed $1.7 million to the project.
As program participants receive instruction in the building trades, the city's parks system will be used as an outdoor classroom for repairs to buildings, according to Springfield parks director Patrick Sullivan.
" We have 80 structures throughout the parks," said Sullivan. "We are very excited to work with these trades and allow them to use our buildings for training, and then we have the result of the work getting done."
Part of the hands-on training will include work on the equipment used in the annual Bright Nights holiday lighting display in Forest Park. Judy Matt, president of Spirit of Springfield, the nonprofit that produces Bright Nights, said the famous displays will be stored in the new building that will replace a rundown former horse barn.
"It will help ensure the future of Bright Nights, because these displays are now 21 years old," said Matt.
The plan is to enroll in the program in its first year 33 unemployed or underemployed young adults from the city of Springfield, according to David Cruise, director of the Regional Employment Board of Hampden County. He said they will be prepared for full- time employment in the fields of manufacturing, construction, and building maintenance.
Some of the training will occur at Springfield's Putnam Vocational Technical High School.

Q: Limiting addEventListener to componentDidMount using useEffect hook I have a class-based component which uses multitouch to add child nodes to an svg and this works well. Now, I am trying to update it to use a functional component with hooks, if for no other reason than to better understand them.
In order to stop the browser using the touch events for gestures, I need to preventDefault on them which requires them to not be passive and, because of the lack of exposure of the passive configuration within synthetic react events I've needed to use svgRef.current.addEventListener('touchstart', handler, {passive: false}). I do this in the componentDidMount() lifecycle hook and clear it in the componentWillUnmount() hook within the class.
When I translate this to a functional component with hooks, I end up with the following:
export default function Board(props) {

    const [touchPoints, setTouchPoints] = useState([]);
    const svg = useRef();

    useEffect(() => {
        console.log('add touch start');
        svg.current.addEventListener('touchstart', handleTouchStart, { passive: false });

        return () => {
            console.log('remove touch start');
            svg.current.removeEventListener('touchstart', handleTouchStart, { passive: false });
        }
    });

    useEffect(() => {
        console.log('add touch move');
        svg.current.addEventListener('touchmove', handleTouchMove, { passive: false });

        return () => {
            console.log('remove touch move');
            svg.current.removeEventListener('touchmove', handleTouchMove, { passive: false });
        }
    });

    useEffect(() => {
        console.log('add touch end');
        svg.current.addEventListener('touchcancel', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });
        svg.current.addEventListener('touchend', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });

        return () => {
            console.log('remove touch end');
            svg.current.removeEventListener('touchend', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });
            svg.current.removeEventListener('touchcancel', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });
        }
    });

    const handleTouchStart = useCallback((e) => {
        e.preventDefault();

        // copy the state, mutate it, re-apply it
        const tp = touchPoints.slice();

        // note e.changedTouches is a TouchList not an array
        // so we can't map over it
        for (var i = 0; i < e.changedTouches.length; i++) {
            const touch = e.changedTouches[i];
            tp.push(touch);
        }
        setTouchPoints(tp);
    }, [touchPoints, setTouchPoints]);

    const handleTouchMove = useCallback((e) => {
        e.preventDefault();

        const tp = touchPoints.slice();

        for (var i = 0; i < e.changedTouches.length; i++) {
            const touch = e.changedTouches[i];
            // call helper function to get the Id of the touch
            const index = getTouchIndexById(tp, touch);
            if (index < 0) continue;
            tp[index] = touch;
        }

        setTouchPoints(tp);
    }, [touchPoints, setTouchPoints]);

    const handleTouchEnd = useCallback((e) => {
        e.preventDefault();

        const tp = touchPoints.slice();

        for (var i = 0; i < e.changedTouches.length; i++) {
            const touch = e.changedTouches[i];
            const index = getTouchIndexById(tp, touch);
            tp.splice(index, 1);

        }

        setTouchPoints(tp);
    }, [touchPoints, setTouchPoints]);

    return (
        <svg
            xmlns={ vars.SVG_NS }
            width={ window.innerWidth }
            height={ window.innerHeight }
        >
            {
                touchPoints.map(touchpoint =>
                    <TouchCircle
                        ref={ svg }
                        key={ touchpoint.identifier }
                        cx={ touchpoint.pageX }
                        cy={ touchpoint.pageY }
                        colour={ generateColour() }
                    />
                )
            }
        </svg>
    );
}

The issue this raises is that every time there is a render update, the event listeners all get removed and re-added. This causes the handleTouchEnd to be removed before it has a chance to clear up added touches among other oddities. I'm also finding that the touch events aren't working unless i use a gesture to get out of the browser which triggers an update, removing the existing listeners and adding a fresh set.
I've attempted to use the dependency list in useEffect and I have seen several people referencing useCallback and useRef but I haven't been able to make this work any better (ie, the logs for removing and then re-adding the event listeners still all fire on every update).
Is there a way to make the useEffect only fire once on mount and then clean up on unmount or should i abandon hooks for this component and stick with the class based one which is working well?
Edit
I've also tried moving each event listener into its own useEffect and get the following console logs:
remove touch start
remove touch move
remove touch end
add touch start
add touch move
add touch end

Edit 2
A couple of people have suggested adding a dependency array which I've tried like this:
    useEffect(() => {
        console.log('add touch start');
        svg.current.addEventListener('touchstart', handleTouchStart, { passive: false });

        return () => {
            console.log('remove touch start');
            svg.current.removeEventListener('touchstart', handleTouchStart, { passive: false });
        }
    }, [handleTouchStart]);

    useEffect(() => {
        console.log('add touch move');
        svg.current.addEventListener('touchmove', handleTouchMove, { passive: false });

        return () => {
            console.log('remove touch move');
            svg.current.removeEventListener('touchmove', handleTouchMove, { passive: false });
        }
    }, [handleTouchMove]);

    useEffect(() => {
        console.log('add touch end');
        svg.current.addEventListener('touchcancel', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });
        svg.current.addEventListener('touchend', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });

        return () => {
            console.log('remove touch end');
            svg.current.removeEventListener('touchend', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });
            svg.current.removeEventListener('touchcancel', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });
        }
    }, [handleTouchEnd]);

but I'm still receiving a log to say that each of the useEffects have been removed and then re-added on each update (so every touchstart, touchmove or touchend which causes a paint - which is a lot :) )
Edit 3
I've replaced window.(add/remove)EventListener with useRef()
ta

A: If you only want this to happen when the component is mounted and unmounted, you will need to supply the useEffect hook with an empty array as the dependency array.
useEffect(() => {
    console.log('adding event listeners');
    window.addEventListener('touchstart', handleTouchStart, { passive: false });
    window.addEventListener('touchend', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });
    window.addEventListener('touchcancel', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });
    window.addEventListener('touchmove', handleTouchMove, { passive: false });

    return () => {
        console.log('removing event listeners');
        window.removeEventListener('touchstart', handleTouchStart, { passive: false });
        window.removeEventListener('touchend', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });
        window.removeEventListener('touchcancel', handleTouchEnd, { passive: false });
        window.removeEventListener('touchmove', handleTouchMove, { passive: false });
    }
}, []);

A: Thanks a lot guys - we got to the bottom of it (w00t)
In order to stop the component useEffect hook firing multiple times, it is required to supply an empty dependency array to the hook (as suggested by Son Nguyen and wentjun) however this meant that the current touchPoints state was not accessible within the handlers.
The answer (suggested by wentjun) was in How to fix missing dependency warning when using useEffect React Hook?
which mentions the hooks faq: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-faq.html#what-can-i-do-if-my-effect-dependencies-change-too-often
this is how my component ended up
export default function Board(props) {
    const [touchPoints, setTouchPoints] = useState([]);
    const svg = useRef();

    useEffect(() => {
        // required for the return value
        const svgRef = svg.current;

        const handleTouchStart = (e) => {
            e.preventDefault();

            // use functional version of mutator
            setTouchPoints(tp => {
                // duplicate array
                tp = tp.slice();

                // note e.changedTouches is a TouchList not an array
                // so we can't map over it
                for (var i = 0; i < e.changedTouches.length; i++) {
                    const touch = e.changedTouches[i];
                    const angle = getAngleFromCenter(touch.pageX, touch.pageY);

                    tp.push({ touch, angle });
                }

                return tp;
            });
        };

        const handleTouchMove = (e) => {
            e.preventDefault();

            setTouchPoints(tp => {
                tp = tp.slice();

                // move existing TouchCircle with same key

group by clientid
having sum(case when formid = 'C' then 1 else 0 end) = 0;

Alternatively, if I assume you have a clients table, a more natural way to write the query is:
select c.*
from clients c
where not exists (select 1
                  from clientforms cf
                  where cf.clientid = c.clientid and cf.formid = 'C'
                 );

This is a better approach because it returns clients who have not submitted any forms at all.

Robot traceur Salto learned to maneuver in the air
1Like 0Dislike
robots/
In December 2016, about a robot-traceur Salto, which is able to move, Bouncing on an impressive for its height. And now, after months after the release, experts from the Biomimetic Millisystems Lab at the University of California conducted a number of modifications that allowed the robot to control its motion during the jump.
An Improved version of the robot has received the name Salto-1P. And control of the trajectory during the flight is made possible thanks to the installation of a number of aerodynamic components. Their presence allows the robot to perform even complex tricks. On Salto-1P has 2 screw propellers, which allow the robot to change the trajectory during the jump. In addition, there are a kind of «tail» — a beam with two counterweights connected to the electric motor.
Thanks to all of the above, Salto-1P can not only accurately land after a jump, but also to make the following jump, as if somersaulting. In addition, due to a series of improvements Salto-1P can jump to a height of 1.25 meters, a full meter higher than the record previous version. The speed of the jump has changed so much and is 1.83 meters per second.
Have all announced performance gave the opportunity for scientists to talk about practical application. It is, first and foremost, search and rescue operations and a variety of reconnaissance missions. For more details, the developers promise to reveal in the framework of the international conference of the IEEE/RSJ 2017, which will be held in late July in Canada.

New Poll: 66% of Russians Feel 'Nostalgia' for USSR
EurasiaHeadline NewsOpinions
By Joaquin Flores On Dec 23, 2018
More and more Russians are nostalgic for the Soviet Union. This is evidenced by data from the survey "Levada Center."
More than 66% of respondents stated that they feel nostalgic about the times of the USSR. This is a record share of "bored in the USSR" over the past 18 years. At the same time, the number of those who do not regret the collapse of the USSR a year has fallen to its lowest level since 2005 – to 25%.
And the key reason that makes people regret the collapse of the Soviet Union is economic. 52% of respondents say that "a single economic system was destroyed."
According to experts of the Levada Center, such a formulation is connected with the fact that Russians are concerned about the problems of economic well-being and current consumption.
During the crisis, real incomes of the population collapsed by 12%, and in 2018, despite the rise in oil prices, they were able to compensate for less than one-tenth of the collapse, which had become unprecedented since the early 1990s.
Another 36% explained the craving for the USSR "a lost sense of belonging to a great power." Almost as many – 31% – wrote off nostalgia on the unhealthy situation in the current society, where "mutual mistrust and bitterness" have increased, which, in their opinion, under the Soviet Union did not exist.
One out of every four regrets the loss of territories, which gave "a feeling that you are everywhere at home."
Russians between the ages of 18 and 24 are the only age group where the "nostalgia index" in the period 2002–2018 was below 100, that is, the share of "regrets" was less than those who are more disinterested in the collapse of the USSR.

On World Health Day, education and legislation ensure food safety
The UAE joins the world to celebrate the World Health Day, which falls on April 7th of each year, the World Health Organization's logo for World Health Day 2015: "Food Safety".
As the organization stressed that unsafe food is linked to the deaths of an estimated 2 million people annually, mostly children, and food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites or chemicals is responsible for over 200 diseases ranging from diarrhea to cancer. And food safety is a shared responsibility and requires the participation of sectors other than the public health sector such as agriculture, trade, environment and tourism, and support of big agencies and international and regional organizations working in the areas of food, emergency aid, and education. The Federal National Council recently approved the draft federal law on food safety after amending and introducing a number of its articles and provisions, and is applicable to the territory of the State, including the free zones. And the draft law increased the penalties on the circulation of any stage of the food chain of foods that are harmful to health or spoiled, starting from the import, production, manufacturing, distribution, circulation, consumption and export, to ensure the safety and suitability of the food and its suitability for human consumption in the State, to reach the UAE vision in developing a high-level global system for food safety, helping effectively to provide food security for all residents and visitors of the State. The Ministry of Higher Education And Scientific Research works to promote health education in the Ministry through workshops, launching health campaigns to educate employees and encourage daily physical activity and health, as well as participating in health events organized by the State, in addition to sponsoring and supporting scientific conferences, medical research and other relevant studies.

Hima Batavia
NexThought Monday: Dealing With the Reality of Non-Fundable Zones
Editor's Note: This post was co-written by Rob Katz.
Last year, we were privy to an email discussion among Peter Deitz at SocialFinance.ca, Kevin Jones from SOCAP, Nathaniel Whittemore of AssetMap (and the well-known voice who made Change.org's social entrepreneurship track what it is today) and Ellie Skeele, founder of social enterprise Himalayan Wild Fibers. It was an eclectic group indeed, formed ad hoc to discuss what appears to be the surfacing of "gaps within the gap," or what have been informally dubbed Non-Fundable Zones.
The missing middle is a sector with limited funding, and organizations that provide vital services or products to it, often choose to limit their focus to specific geographies. This makes sense, as it's hard to maintain a strong on-the-ground presence everywhere, all at once. But from the perspective of an enterprise outside the circle, it can be a major problem. Social entrepreneurs already face the challenge of not being social or financial enough to fit within existing philanthropic or commercial funding schemes
While the onset of Non-Fundable Zones is difficult to quantify, given the limited funding data of social enterprises, the discussion raised some points we'd like to pose to the community to reflect and comment on. First of all: Which dollars skew which way, to whom and to where?"
In the U.S. and Canada, we see a proclivity towards the young and well educated, with high-profile organizations like Echoing Green and the Unreasonable Institute selecting or otherwise crowdsourcing the best and the brightest – but is that at the expense of more indigenous or non-traditional (read: older) entrepreneurs?
A common source of start up capital are business plan competitions and challenges, which are potentially lucrative, but are open exclusively for students and/or students that have graduated within 2 years (See MIT's $100,000 Global Challenge entrepreneurship competition, UC Berkley's Global Social Venture Competition).
Internationally, the partiality seems to differ. Whereas the non-funding zone in the West seems driven by age or membership in an elite network, in the developing world, a preference for certain geographies seems to be trending – possibly driven by the attraction to being part of a cluster of funding organizations. This close proximity, characteristic of the social venture fund industry emerging in India, allows for tacit knowledge sharing and the ability to more easily syndicate deals. In addition, it can be presumed that because of the level of political risk, corruption and instability, the cost of doing business in a country presumably holds a bearing on the decision of where to fund.
We question if there are no funding opportunities in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq or the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Do financiers neglect countries such as Madagascar and Senegal due to language barriers? Is it too risky and expensive to invest in ventures in countries such as Zimbabwe due to high currency fluctuations?
Both domestically and internationally, some sectors inevitably get left out. In Canada, the Michael Lee-Chin Family Institute for Corporate Citizenship is in the process of conceptualizing a social venture fund for mental health patients turned entrepreneurs. These niche avenues for funding, however, are the exception and not the rule.
Meanwhile, Skeele's enterprise brings job prosperity to families in Nepal by selling fibers from plants grown in the Himalayas to international markets – however, finding funding to scale her operations has been a challenge. The enterprise, she finds, does not fit neatly into the usual healthcare, water, agriculture, housing or hunger sectors. Since most social venture firms do not accept unsolicited proposals, this adds further stress to a stressful search. While programs such as Ashoka's Changemakers takes an open-source/crowd-sourcing approach to funding social ventures, fitting into the development flavor of the month is still a prerequisite.
Or, perhaps this is a chicken and egg issue. Does available funding stimulate opportunity or does funding gravitate towards opportunity? In a 2009 research reportreleased by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, 49 countries were surveyed on the level of social entrepreneurship activity in the country. The GEM distinguishes between three types of economies:
1. Factor-driven economies are primarily extractive in nature (e.g. Uganda, West Bank and Gaza Strip)
2. Efficiency-driven economies exhibit scale-intensity as a major driver of development (e.g. Argentina, Bosnia, Iran, Peru)
3. Innovation-driven economies are characterized by their production of new and unique goods and services that are created via sophisticated and often pioneering methods (e.g. U.S., UK, Germany)
Generally, as countries develop economically, they tend to shift from one phase to another. This certainly has an impact on the level of entrepreneurial activity, and according to the study, slightly impacted social entrepreneurship activity.
More men than women were found to start social enterprises, and tended to be active at younger ages in comparison to business entrepreneurs. Further, better-educated individuals were more likely to be social entrepreneurs. This indicates that Non-Funding Zones may be due to a country's unique social, cultural and economic factors – and leading funders to where social entrepreneurship opportunities are concentrated.
But let's not be facetious here – the idea is not that all social enterprises should be funded either. As Nathaniel put it, part of the maturation of an industry is finding a standard of quality within a crowd mustered by excitement. A capital market for socially oriented ventures should be competitive. However, the problem lies when the situation goes well beyond simple competition. This requires identifying a clear intersection where opportunity and funding meet.
Just because you are in Nepal or another NFZ does not mean you are an unworthy enterprise. It simply means you may be stuck in a Non-Funding Zone.

Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the Cloud
Great article from Threat Level. Worth the read, and giving some thought to how you or your company may be affected, especially if you are a foreign company with cloud services in the United States.
ECPA allows the government to obtain, without a warrant, any content stored in the cloud — such as files in a Dropbox account, if it's older than six months. It goes without saying that there was no such thing as cloud-storage services available for the average Joe Sixpack when Reagan was president. Now those services have become mainstream, yet the Reagan-era law applies.

"Alaska" by MAGGIE ROGERS
A viral video that's actually worthwhile
For the first time in a long time, rather than the usual result of a brief moment of slight amusement or shock, something positive has come out of a viral Internet sensation. Videos of Pharrell Williams at NYU listening to and critiquing compositions of students at the school, focusing especially on his emotional reaction to one student's song, have been circulating around the Internet for the past couple weeks. This student, whose life has forever been altered by being suddenly thrust into the spotlight, is Maggie Rogers. Her now famous song "Alaska" is a soulful blend of folk and electronic music, playing off of her background of growing up as a banjo player in rural Maryland and her recent exposure to and affinity for dance music. As Pharrell posited when he first heard the song, her music cannot be compared to other music because it is so entirely different from anything else. "Singular" is how he described it.
I urge you, try to think of another artist that combines lyrics about nature, subtle disco beats, blips of piano, acoustic guitar strums, popping synths, and recorded sounds from the Alaskan wilderness. My guess is that you were unsuccessful. Although the instrumental composition is wholly unique and enrapturing, Rogers' otherworldly, angelic voice will undoubtedly be what carries her off into the land of fame and fortune. Her voice is able to hit incredible highs, but remains thick and full-bodied throughout the song, exuding confidence and tenderness simultaneously. Maggie Rogers' calm, humble, thoughtful nature will undoubtedly continue to be shared with us, but only after she gets back from her long awaited post-graduation trip to Europe. Girl's got priorities, folks.
Maggie Roger's portion of the video beings at around 18:30.

In refrigeration and choke plants, gas is cooled to low temperatures (usually between -10 C and -30 C), to meet hydrocarbon dewpoint specifications and/or recover valuable liquids. Ethylene glycol is typically injected in the facilities to ensure that hydrates do not form at these low temperatures.
Process engineers are commonly required to estimate the necessary ethylene glycol (EG) injection rate to inhibit hydrate formation. Process simulators such as Aspen HYSYSTM can be used to estimate the EG requirement.
Estimate the hydrate formation temperature using an appropriate method. For sweet gas, the Katz method1 can be used to predict hydrate formation temperature. The Baillie & Wichert method2 can be used to predict hydrate formation temperature in high H2S-content gases.
Calculate the inihibitor requirement. The Hammerschmidt equation3 can be used to calculate the required concentration (and therefore flowrate) of ethylene glycol or other inhibitors in order to suppress hydrate formation at the temperature of interest.
Process simulators make this job easier, but it is important to know that very different results can be obtained vs. the chart/empirical methods which have been used over the years. Oil and gas companies often have their own internal expertise and guidelines for hydrate inhibition calculations and these should be reviewed, if available.
The degree of water saturation (or the amount of free water) will influence the hydrate inhibitor requirement. This aspect of the model should be simulated accurately. Also, if water is not specified, HYSYS assumes free water to be present.
An Adjust operation can be used to manipulate the flowrate of inhibitor required to meet a target hydrate temperature. However, converging the Adjust can often be tricky, and the user should confirm that proper specifications are set and that it is indeed converged (seeImproving flowsheet convergence in HYSYS).
The HYSYS hydrate utility offers several options ("Ng & Robinson" vs. "CSM"), as well as various hydrate calculation models such as "Asymmetric", "Symmetric", etc. Further details can be obtained from the HYSYS documentation, but in general, the defaults work best.
The hydrate curve in the HYSYS phase envelope is plotted considering the actual amount of water in the stream. If there is no water specified, then free water is assumed to be present.
The effect of salt (brine) is not considered in the HYSYS hydrate calculation. This is not usually a concern for refrigeration plants but it could be an issue in other scenarios (e.g., pipeline transmission).
Simulators such as HYSYS can be used to estimate inhibitor requirements, making it significantly easier than classic chart/empirical methods. However, care and proper engineering diligence should be used when calculating these requirements.

Maria Cristina Lopes Almeida Fontes Lima (* 1958 in Praia, Kap Verde) ist eine kap-verdische Politikerin und Rechtsanwältin. Von 2001 bis 2016 gehörte sie in verschiedenen Funktionen drei Regierungen der Kap Verden an. Sie ist Mitglied der Partido Africano da Independência de Cabo Verde (PAICV).

Werdegang
Lima wurde 1958 in Praia geboren. Ihr Vater stammt aus Santa Catarina, die Mutter von São Vicente. Die Großeltern väterlicherseits wurden auf Fogo und die Großeltern mütterlicherseits auf São Nicolau geboren. Lima lebte als Teenager in Angola, wo die Eltern in den 1970er-Jahren arbeiteten. Hier begann sie sich für Politik zu interessieren. Als Geschenk für den Abschluss der High School bekam Lima von den Eltern eine Reise nach Kap Verde. Hier durfte sie bei den Unabhängigkeitsfeierlichkeiten am 5. Juli die Nationalflagge im Estádio da Várzea setzen. Lima entschloss sich, in Kap Verde zu bleiben.

Nach Abschluss der Sekundarstufe studierte sie Jura in Portugal, wo sie in der Studentenbewegung aktiv war. Anfang der 1980er-Jahre trat sie als Anwältin in den öffentlichen Dienst in Kap Verde ein, wo sie bis zur Direktorin im Außenministerium aufstieg. 1984 wurde Lima Mitglied der PAICV und wurde später Parteivorsitzende für die Hauptstadt Praia.

Lima engagierte sich im Übergangsprozess zur Demokratie in den 1990er-Jahren und wurde 1991 die erste Frau in der Politischen Kommission der PAICV. Sie wurde Parteisprecherin und zog als Abgeordnete für die PAICV nach den ersten Mehrparteienwahlen 1991 in das Parlament ein. 1994 ging Lima zum Studium in die Vereinigten Staaten. 1996 erhielt sie einen Master of Public Administration von der Southern Illinois University und folgte ihrem Mann, der seit 1992 in Togo lebte, um bei der ECOWAS zu arbeiten.

Ab 2001 war Lima Mitglied der Regierung von Kap Verde. Von 2001 bis 2006 als Justizministerin, dann als Ministerin des Präsidiums des Ministerrates, Ministerin für Reformen des Staates und Verteidigungsministerin und von 2011 bis 2016 als Gesundheitsministerin und stellvertretende Premierministerin.

2016 kandidierte Lima erfolglos für den Stadtrat von Praia.

Lima ging nach Osttimor und wurde Beraterin im dortigen Ministerium für die Reform der Legislative und Angelegenheiten des Parlaments. Aufgrund ihrer Erfahrungen als Gesundheitsministerin Kap Verdes mit der Ebolafieber-Epidemie 2014 bis 2016 im benachbarten Westafrika und der Zikavirus-Epidemie 2015/2016 wurde sie am 23. März 2020 in die osttimoresische Kommission zur Beratung und Bewertung von Strategien zur Prävention und Bekämpfung der Coronavirus-Pandemie (Komisaun Akompañamentu no Avaliasaun Estratéjia ba Prevensaun no Kombate Pandemia Koronavírus) berufen, nachdem im Land der erste COVID-19-Fall registriert wurde.

Q: How do I separate routes that have the same path but do different things? The following route Page/View/Id would go to the View Method in the Page Controller. I'd also like the following route:
/{page-title}

to go to the same method.  That's so I could have URLs like the following:
http://www.mysite.com/This-Is-a-Page

How do I configure this, considering This-Is-a-Page might be a controller also?

A: If both your "controller" routes and "page" routes (see below) use the same /something, then you're going to have to implement the following rules:
At the top of your routes:
route. MapRoute(
    "ControllerRoute"
    "{controller}",
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
    new { controller = GetControllerNameRegex() }
);

route.MapRoute(
    "PageRoute",
    "{pageSlug}"
    new { controller = "Page", action = "ShowPage" }
);

*

*No page can have a name that matches any controller in use.

*Or no controller can have the name that matches any page in use.

Since you can't really do the latter programmatically, but you can do the former programmatically, you can add a custom constraint to your controller routes, so that it will only hit if you happen to type the name of a controller:
private static string GetControllerNameRegex()
{
    var controllerNamesRegex = new StringBuilder();
    List<string> controllers = GetControllerNames();
    controllers.ForEach(s =>
            controllerNamesRegex.AppendFormat("{0}|", s));
    return controllerNamesRegex.ToString().TrimEnd('|');
}

private static List<Type> GetSubClasses<T>()
{
    return Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().GetTypes().Where(type =>
           type.IsSubclassOf(typeof(T))).ToList();
}

public List<string> GetControllerNames()
{
    List<string> controllerNames = new List<string>();
    GetSubClasses<Controller>().ForEach(type => controllerNames.Add(type.Name));
    return controllerNames;
}

NB:  Best course would be to make sure not to have any pages named after your controller, and you could use the above code to enforce that at runtime.

A: You might be able to add a catch all, like so (place this after the default routes):
routes.MapRoute(
    null,
    "{*query}",
    new { controller = "SomeController", action = "SomeAction" }
);

And the action signature would look like this:
public ActionResult(string query)
