Frankfurt Rights platform seeks African Publishers.
Published on January 18, 2021 February 9, 2021 by James Murua
Frankfurt Rights, a new platform for international rights and license trade from Frankfurter Buchmesse, is seeking African Publishers to sign up.
Frankfurter Buchmesse, the world's biggest and most important book fair hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, where buyers and sellers of rights from all over the world converge, has long been considered the Mecca of the rights business. Even before the pandemic and the need to go digital, it had started to work on an international rights platform, previously called IPR license, that would facilitate trade in rights and licensing for books/texts. In 2020, the platform was rebranded and is now called Frankfurt Rights.
The new platform seeks to bring in new full members from different parts of the world, including Africa. The focus is on publishers for whom it is difficult to create visibility for their titles and who are also not used to this very convenient way of trading rights, licenses, and permissions. It is also an endeavour to create new links for publishers to be part of the international rights community, not just by being part of the catalogue, but also by providing training and best practices in rights trading. A final goal is to bring the whole publishing world to the platform and one day have a unified platform so that it becomes an easy-to-use tool for everyone.
African publishers now get the opportunity to join this world-class portal and give their titles the chance of being bought by buyers of rights from many different markets. At the same time, it also facilitates the buying of rights. To this blogger's knowledge, this might be the first time that this specific type of opportunity is available to those of us who are on the continent. And yes. It is free until December 2021.
If you sign up for the portal, you get:
A custom publisher portal, including profile, key titles, and branding
Unlimited upload of titles to the platform
Instant Offer — automated, fully customizable, flat fee transactions
Instant Permissions — automated, fully customizable, permissions transactions
Instant rights guides — quickly created and exported rights catalogues
Advanced messaging functionality between buyers and sellers
Comprehensive search and browsing features
A 24-hour global market
Benefit from presentations and seminars around the topic of rights trading.
There is also an option that allows members to individualize and brand their Rights Portal so as to look like their own website. They can integrate the Frankfurt Rights services directly into their website and offer a seamless one-stop-shop experience to customers. You can watch a video in this online seminar on how this platform works in the blow video.
If you are a publisher on the continent with a catalogue and wish to share it with the world please contact me. (Disclosure: I am coordinating the registration for this new platform for African publishers).

INSURGENCY Coming January 22 to Steam
January 14, 2014 | Filed under: Gaming,Gaming PR | Posted by: Kristofer Brozio
Ha.. the headline for this PR is: Gritty Indie Shooter INSURGENCY Set For January 22 Launch On Steam. I was skimming and I read it as 'girly indie shooter' and I was like what? Anyway, yeah it's coming soon…
Gamers seeking a fresh adrenaline rush to the first-person shooter genre should prepare themselves for the upcoming deployment of INSURGENCY. Following a successful nine-month Early Access campaign on Steam, the game is now ready to be played by a larger scale audience. The official launch will be on January 22, and celebrated by a live stream broadcast on Twitch.
Watch the new INSURGENCY pre-launch teaser trailer HERE: youtube.com/watch?v=r31-i5gGpiI
While this marks the end of the Beta phase for INSURGENCY, this does not mark the end of development by indie studio New World Interactive (NWI). Future updates and DLC are provided to anyone who purchased the game as NWI continues to polish and build content on top of the game's foundation.
"We've gained tremendous feedback from our community during early access, and in the process have grown accustomed to providing frequent updates to the game based on user experience," said Jeremy Blum, founder and game director of New World Interactive. Blum was instrumental in the success of the award-winning mods Red Orchestra and Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat.
This hardcore multiplayer experience deploys players into a squad-based shooter reliant upon strategic teamwork to gain victory in close-quarters combat. In an FPS market packed with blockbuster titles, INSURGENCY distills the genre down to its essence. Gamers must hone their skills to master the robust, high-quality gun mechanics, while coordinating suspenseful attacks upon their enemy.
"Insurgency is an evolution from the original mod experience, to finish what we started," said designer Andrew Spearin, who co-founded Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat. "We have created an experience gamers can't find with any other game. It's a gritty representation of contemporary conflict, where every life and bullet counts. To win, the difference factor typically comes down to the team with the most communication and superior tactics, not just who has the twitchiest mouse."
Built on Valve's Source Engine, INSURGENCY supports up to 32-person multiplayer and 6-player cooperative, and showcases a training level to ease the learning curve for newcomers. The game is built for Windows®PC and Mac OS X and is in development for Linux.
More on INSURGENCY can be found on New World Interactive's website www.playinsurgency.com.

A sizzling steak right off the grill is something few can resist. Follow these tips to make your home-grilled steaks fabulous.
For these recipes, we work with ribeye, tenderloin, and flank steaks. We use ribeye for the Basic Grilled Steak (top left) and the Grilled Herb Steak, since it's a tender, flavorful cut and needs little adornment. True to their name, tenderloin steaks offer exceptionally supple meat, but because of their lack of fat, they benefit from added flavorings, as in the Grilled Steak with Teriyaki Glaze. Flank steak lends itself nicely to salads when sliced very thin, as in Summer Steak Salad. Lean flank steak can be tough, which is why it requires thin slicing. When you take the flank off the grill, transfer it to a cutting board with a moat in order to capture juices as you slice.
Salt sprinkled on a raw steak draws out the juices and makes the surface of the meat moist, which in turn makes it difficult to brown. To avoid this, salt the meat when you start to bring it to room temperature, and pat it dry with a paper towel just before you put it on the grill. This allows the salt to seep into the steak and eliminates water drawn out by the salt.
Charcoal and gas fires each have advantages, so it's a toss-up as to which is best. A charcoal grill cooks hotter than gas, but it requires building a fire with briquettes. Gas grills are convenient because they need no fire building and it's easy to control the heat. In terms of flavor, charcoal and gas are on par.
The best grills for individual steaks are those that allow you to adjust the distance of the rack from the coals. Set the distance between the coals and the steak according to the thickness of the meat–three inches or less for a steak thinner than an inch, three to six inches for thicker steaks. Thinner steaks require intense heat to form a desirable crust before the heat has a chance to penetrate and overcook the meat, whereas thicker cuts need less heat and longer time to allow the middle to cook without burning the exterior. While the grill is preheating, let the steak come to room temperature before cooking, which helps ensure the meat cooks evenly.
1. Cut into the steak in an unobtrusive place, and examine the interior to check the doneness.
2. Slide an instant-read thermometer through the side of the steak into the center to check the temperature. Keep in mind that the temperature of meat will increase five to 10 degrees after resting.
3. Use the touch test. A rare steak will feel fleshy, like an unflexed muscle; a rare to medium-rare steak will just begin to bounce back to the touch; a medium-rare to medium steak will feel firmer still.
4. Look for juices on the steak's surface. A rare steak doesn't release any juices. As the steak approaches medium rare, you'll begin to see red juices forming on the surface (you might also hear them sizzle as they drip over the coals). As the steak approaches medium, it releases more juices. As it approaches medium well and well, the juices will turn brown.
Remember, you can always put a steak back on the grill if it's too rare, but you can't uncook a well-done steak. Err on the side of undercooked.
"Resting," or standing, after cooking allows the meat to reabsorb its flavorful juices. If you serve the steak right away, those tasty juices will spill out onto the plate as soon as you cut into the meat.
After the steak is done, transfer it from the grill to a platter, and loosely cover with foil. (Don't cover tightly or stack steaks, or they'll overcook.) Let rest for five minutes per inch of thickness. Residual heat will cook steaks five to 10 degrees more during resting.
As a rule, Cooking Light recipes call for four ounces raw red meat per person, though we make an exception with the ribeye steaks. Markets typically don't sell ribeyes much smaller than eight ounces (unlike tenderloins, which are easy to find in four-ounce portions, or larger flank steaks, which are intended to serve several people), and you may not want to split a ribeye steak between two people. Although this is a bit more than our usual serving size, an eight-ounce ribeye steak is considerably smaller than portions commonly found in restaurants.
An eight-ounce ribeye steak yields about six ounces of cooked meat–350 calories, with about 39 percent of calories from fat. And sides will help balance the nutrition. For instance, the Basic Grilled Steak, a baked potato with one tablespoon of light sour cream, and a four-ounce serving of asparagus is a 407-calorie dinner, with about 35 percent of its calories from fat.

Mammy warns Scarlett to behave herself at the party at Twelve Oaks. There is a new man there that day, the day the Civil War begins. Rhett Butler. Scarlett does not know he is in the room when she pleads with Ashley to choose her instead of Melanie. Written by Dale O'Connor <daleoc@interaccess.com>

The character of Rhett Butler was partially inspired by Margaret Mitchell's husband nicknamed "Red", to whom she had a short and passionate marriage.

Astounding Film - GWTW is the Definition of a Classic!
15 November 2003 | by Alexis_Ray – See all my reviews
The setting is a Georgia plantation. The year is 1861, and sixteen-year-old Scarlett O'Hara is infatuated with the blond, drowsy-eyed Ashley Wilkes - the problem is, Ashley plans to marry another woman. Little matter that every other man in the county is courting Scarlett and that a charming scoundrel named Rhett Butler is staring at her with questionable intent - she cares only for Ashley.
Suddenly, the Civil War brakes out, changing the fates and fortunes of all. Scarlett, clever, manipulative, and charming, proves an adept survivor - but what will she have to do to survive? And will she ever learn whom it is that she really loves?
GWTW is one of the most meticulously cast films ever; with the possible exception of Leslie Howard as Ashley (in his forties, rather old to be playing a man half that age), every role was perfectly assigned. After you watch Vivien Leigh you will be unable to imagine anyone else playing Scarlett, and Hattie McDaniel's strong, unforgettable performance as "Mammy" netted her an academy award (the first for an African-American actor).
GWTW's backdrop is the gruesome Civil War, and in the end this film is the story a woman and a civilization (the Old South) going through a war that will not leave either of them unchanged.
The cinematography is beautiful, memorable. Gone With the Wind was shot entirely in gorgeous technicolor; the scene of the fire in Atlanta required the use of all eight technicolor cameras in existence at the time.
The pragmatic may think Gone with the Wind overly dramatic; the restless may find it too long; the action-stimulated, too subtle. None of this, however, detracts from the fact that GWTW retains a lasting appeal as one of the crowning cinematic achievements of the 20th century. Those who see its ending as depressing - tragic, even - perhaps miss the point - which Scarlett O'Hara makes in her very last instant with us, tear-stained eyes uplifted in a sudden, curious burst of hope beneath all the turmoil; that .. . "After all, tomorrow is another day." 10/10

Any ideas as to what's causing this?

A: #landing-brief #twitter-feed ul li {
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    height: 200px;   <--- here is your problem.
}

Using an element inspector allows you to see where the defined styles of an element come from. and can help you spot problems like this quickly.

A: #landing-brief #twitter-feed ul li {
padding-bottom: 5px;
height: 50px;
}

A: The height:200px on #landing-brief #twitter-feed ul li is causing this. Make it something smaller or make it auto by removing the height completely.
Not sure if you are aware of this, but using the developer console to debug HTML/JS/CSS in Safari/Chrome is very useful, as you can change fields in real time and see how the browser will render them.

A: There are two lines that are the culprits here.  Both of these specify an explicit height of 200px.  I'm guessing it comes from the template you are using.
/* On line 2836 in style.css */
#landing-brief #twitter-feed ul li {
    height: 200px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
}
/* On line 2814 in style.css */
#landing-brief ul li {
    display: inline-block;
    height: 200px;
    padding-bottom: 20px;
    padding-right: 20px;
    position: relative;
    vertical-align: top;
    width: 250px;
}

To fix it, you need to override the explicit height of the li blocks to auto !important;, or remove the height of the li altogether.
How I came to this conclusion:
I used Firefox with FireBug and inspected the individual Twitter post.  After disabling the 200px height on both of the style blocks, it looked correct.
Please let me know if this works :-)

A: The height of the li's are height:200px, change to height:auto;

A: I'd say it's the height you gave to '#landing-brief #twitter-feed ul li'. Try this:
#landing-brief #twitter-feed ul li {
padding-bottom: 5px;
height: auto;
}

Q: How to get number of rows accessed in each table of a query sql Oracle DB I have to get number of rows accessed in each table in sql query - oracle db. For example:
select *
from a inner join b on  a.t = b.t
where a.x in (1,2,3)

result expect:
table a: 5 rows
table b: 10 rows

I used
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR ...

then
SELECT PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);

But number of rows seem not exactly. Result is explain plan. How can i solve it. Thanks

A: Looks like statistics aren't up to date.
Collect statistics for both tables, and then run explain plan again. How? Like this:
SQL> begin
  2    dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('SCOTT', 'EMP');
  3  end;
  4  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL>

A: I did it. To find out row accessed in explain plain. I do this
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
select ...
from ...
where ...
SQL content store in  V$SQL. And result explain plain stored in  V$SQL_PLAN
SELECT SQL_ID, OPERATION, OPTIONS, OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE, CARDINALITY
FROM V$SQL_PLAN

You can display it
SELECT *
FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY());

To find out rows accessed in execution plan. I do this
-- ALTER SESSION SET STATISTICS_LEVEL = ALL;
SELECT /*+ gather_plan_statistics TEST_PLAN*/ *

You can display it
SELECT *

America's favorite hotel chains
10/3/2012 — By Sean O'Neill
Courtesy Robert S. Donovan/Flickr
Image of a Holiday Inn Express.
A recent survey has revealed the hotel brand preferences of travelers in different age groups.
Marriott is the hotel brand with the most cross-generational appeal. It's liked by equal numbers of leisure travelers of all ages, and it's preferred by more vacationers overall than any other brand.
Is Holiday Inn your favorite chain? You must be under 30. Holiday is the most preferred hotel brand among travelers born since 1979. It's neat that a brand as iconically American as cheese grits could be the top pick of the Facebook generation. Full-service hotels (meaning restaurants, free WiFi, and other amenities) still matter. But affordability also counts. Folks who are 30-years-old and younger are half as likely as other age groups to like Hilton. And few of them like Hyatt at all.
When narrowing the field to budget chains, the 30-and-younger crowd most prefers Days Inn, liking it twice as much as any other age group does.
Among Generation X (adults born between 1965 and 1978), the most preferred hotel is Holiday Inn, too. Other much-liked hotel brands are Marriott and Hilton.
Among Baby Boomers (adults born between 1946 and 1964), the three most popular hotel chains are Marriott, Holiday Inn, and Hilton—with no clear favorite. These three hotels were favored twice as much as brands like Sheraton, Hyatt, and Comfort Inn. People between the ages of 35 and 64, it's worth noting, account for nearly two-thirds of leisure travel spending.
Travelers born before 1946 tend not to have strong preferences for hotel chains, says the survey. To the extent they prefer hotels, they like Marriott just as much as all other age groups.
Fun fact: Nearly two-thirds of all hotels in the U.S. belong to national brands, which means we have fewer independently owned hotels than nearly any other country. Consider yourself branded.
The National Leisure Travel Monitor, now in its 18th year, reveals what vacationers are thinking. It was conducted in February and March by Ypartnership, a marketing firm, and Yankelovich Partners. A panel of 1,590 active leisure travelers was interviewed via phone and e-mail. The sample was balanced by statistical weighting to represent the composition of Americans who have taken at least one leisure trip of more than 75 miles in the past 12 months. I have only highlighted above the survey results that the study said were "statistically significant," meaning that the researchers feel confident that another poll of another group of people would come up with the same dramatic results. This study is the most definitive and scientific poll of the attitudes of leisure travelers in America, but sometimes people say one thing and do another. In other words, a traveler may say she prefers Brand X but in reality she buys Brand Y.

Does Iran Benefit if Russia Moves Units from Syria?
https://www.meforum.org/63225/does-iran-benefit-if-russia-moves-units-from-syria
Russia may transfer solders, such as the above checkpoint guard near Damascus, from Syria to Ukraine.
Reports this week say that Russia is transferring units from Syria to aid its efforts in Ukraine. Claims that Iran might benefit from this by somehow moving its units, or partner forces, to backfill areas the Russians are leaving would appear to underline Iranian benefits from Russia's movements. But it is not entirely clear if Iran can move units into areas the Russians are leaving, or if the Russians really are moving units out at all, or merely rotating units around.
Another possibility is that reports Russia is moving units is leaked information designed to make it look like it is failing in Ukraine, or to cause other informational chaos regarding Syria and Iran. Even if Moscow is moving out of areas in Syria, this may not benefit Iran because while Tehran prefers to use Syria as a launchpad for its threats, it prefers to hide behind the Russian role there, which had conferred some supposed legitimacy and security for the Syrian regime. With less Russia in Syria, Iran could be more exposed, even if it takes short-term advantage.
What is known is that Syrian regime leader Bashar Assad met with the Iranian leadership on Sunday, the same day as the reports emerged. The report at the Moscow Times said that "Russia has begun the process of withdrawing its military forces from Syria and is concentrating them at three airports before being transferred to the Ukrainian front."
This is supposed to "speed up" the Russian campaign in Ukraine, which has faced many setbacks. Russia held its May 9 Victory Day celebrations on Monday. "The abandoned air bases of the Russian Federation are transferred to the Iranian military-political formation 'Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' and the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah," the Moscow Times report said.
A report at the Alma Research and Education Center on May 8 noted that "until the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Syria was the most extensive arena [where] the Russian military was deployed permanently." The report said that the "Russian military force in Syria consisted of around 10,000 soldiers in 12 bases (two main ones: Tartus and Hmeimim, and ten smaller ones) and various assorted field outposts.
"As of now, it is not clear whether, in light of the war in Ukraine, Russia has substantially reduced the number of troops in Syria and transferred them to fight in Ukraine," it said. "It is clear [however] that Russian forces have been transferred from Syria to Ukraine, but the extent of the forces redeployed is not clear to us."
The reports that Russia could be moving some forces would also appear to show that its balance of power with Iran in Syria could shift. This means Assad had a good reason to go to Tehran this week, rather than go to the Victory Day events in Moscow. He wasn't invited to Moscow, apparently because foreign leaders did not attend this year like they have in the past. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended the Victory Day events in 2018.
What matters here is the perception that Russia might be moving troops. In this world, perception can be as important as reality. Iran perceives an opening as well. It could use this as leverage and could indeed move more forces to parts of Syria. It could try to use what remains of Russian bases and posts to shield its units from threats.
Iran has usually operated in a corridor in Syria, from the Imam Ali base in Albukamal on the Iraqi border to the T-4 base near Palmyra, to other locations near Homs and in the mountains between Lebanon and Damascus, and directly in Damascus and south of Damascus. Beginning in 2018, Iran attempted to move more Hezbollah units toward areas near the Golan as the Syrian rebels were defeated there.
In the past, Tehran has also operated near Aleppo; in 2021 pro-Iranian militia members were killed there and in May 2020 airstrikes allegedly hit some kind of Iranian warehouses and other sites east of the ancient city. Iran also has proxies in the Mayadin and Deir Ezzor areas. This is the Iranian octopus in Syria, which may grow new tentacles. Iran knows that Russia's main bases are in Tartus and Khmeimim which are in northwestern Syria, near Latakia. This is the area that Russia cares about.
Why would Russia hand over bases or posts to the IRGC or Hezbollah? It would appear that this would risk those sites and also lead to tensions. Moscow may have had some brief tension last week due to Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's comments, but it likely doesn't want to open up new files dealing with problems with Israel or Syria. It therefore makes little sense for Russia to give up much space to the IRGC. That being said, smaller Russian posts or areas Russia once used might be sponged up by the Iranian octopus.
The question is whether Iran really benefits here. If Russia does move out of some places, then Iran can't use them for cover or plausible deniability. It likes the fact Russia is in Syria because Russia shields the Syrian regime and lets Iran hollow out Syria from within.
This is also how Iran does business in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen. It sets up shop, hollows out and bankrupts, backfills with religious extremist proxies, and then leaves a shell country. It is like a robber baron or corporate raider that leaves shell corporations saddled in debt. Iran is a kind of mafia/empire/corporate raider all wrapped into one, guarded by drones and missiles that it exports.
So how can Iran really benefit if Russia begins to move forces out of Syria? Iran would be more exposed; it would have to "own" more Syrian real estate. This brings us back to the old maxim, "if you break it, you buy it." Supposedly then-US secretary of state Colin Powell told this to president George W. Bush: "If you break it, you fix it. Now, if you break it, you made a mistake. It's the wrong thing to do. But you own it."
Either way, does Iran really want to "own" a broken Syria, or merely to use it? The Islamic Republic prefers to use the embattled country; it wants the best of both worlds, with Russia propping up the Syrian regime and giving it legitimacy, while it uses Syria to move weapons and knit together Hezbollah and the Hashd al-Sha'abi in Iraq – and then use these as leverage against Israel; even flying drones from the bases in Syria, Iraq and Iran to threaten Israel as it has done in recent years.
Less Russia in Syria could actually backfire on Iran. In the near-term of course, Tehran can benefit because of the shadow of conflict and lack of knowledge about whether the Russians really did move forces out. But if they did or are moving them, then the evidence will come to light – and the Iranians will be seen at these new locations and will then be exposed.

This program is a rare opportunity for teens to come to the library and be encouraged to ravage a volume in the interest of self-expression. Teens will break all the rules as they rip, puncture, paint, and glue old, discarded books to create masterpieces of art! The goal is to alter the book's appearance, turning it into a new kind of artistic expression. It is one part recycling, one part creativity, and fun all over! Display the books in the library for others to see.
Question: Just what is an altered book, you ask?
Paste in photos, magazine clippings, threads, sequins, etc.
View inspirational examples of altered books created by students at the Lakeview High School in Battle Creek, Michigan in 2004 in a PowerPoint presentation by Margaret Lincoln, which is adapted and included with permission. See these slides at the end of this program.
Gather these materials before the program.
Allow for an hour of set-up time. Set up work tables together to make it easier to share supplies. Cover them with tablecloths. On the work tables, place glue sticks, rulers, scissors, markers and books. Place the remaining supplies on one or two additional tables. Leave enough space between the tables to allow the librarian to move easily to help and instruct the teens throughout the process. Organize the supplies so that similar items are grouped together. Set up glue guns, with paper underneath them, on the tables. Plug in hair dryers. Note: Clean up may also take up to an hour, or less if teens help.
When teens arrive at the program, invite them to look at the examples of altered books on display and to look through the selection of discarded books.
When the program begins, tell the teens that the purpose of altered books is to take discarded materials and recycle them into art, and that the popularity of Altered Books is growing fast. Let teens know that during the program, they'll learn techniques for enhancing their books and will begin creating them. Emphasize that this is just part of the process, since the altered book is an organic, evolving project and works best when it is added to over time, much like a scrapbook, they will probably not have time to completely finish their books. Let them know if the library will offer another workshop during the summer to allow teens the opportunity and supplies to continue working on their books. Or, suggest that teens continue to work on their projects at home, if they do not finish during the program. When teens complete their creations, display them in the library.
Invite teens to select a discarded book to alter and consider what they want to do with it. Ask them to think about the following design elements that will help them begin visualizing their creations.
Pick a theme. What do you want the focus of your book to be - friendship, family, school, pets, travel, quotes, music, journal... or maybe a favorite color?
Additions. Do you want to make pockets, journal pages, photo tabs, and/or picture frames in your book?
Subtractions. Do you want to rip out pages, punch holes, cut out windows and/or boxes in your book?
Mediums. Do you want to collage, decoupage, stamp, sew, or make rubbings in your book?
Here are some tips to share with the teens while they are working.
Acrylic paint will stain clothes. Offer large donated shirts or garbage bag ponchos for them to wear.
Depending on the thickness of the teens' pages, suggest that they glue 4-10 pages together, using a glue stick, for a thicker canvas on which to work.
Rip out 4-10 pages between altered pages so that the book does not expand so much that it will not close.
Dilute acrylic paint with some water before painting the book covers.
Diluting acrylic paint with water will cause the pages to warp a little bit. This can be a cool effect.
Use wax paper between the painted pages.
Use the blow dryers to dry the pages.
While paint and/or glue is drying, select enhancements for other pages, such as magazine clippings, ribbon, etc.
Mistakes are easy to fix. Teens can rip the page out, glue something on top, and start again.
Invite a scrap booking professional from your local craft store to discuss journaling and scrap booking techniques with the teens.
By participating in creative activities, teens are building self-esteem and positive self worth. They learn to be resourceful with the materials they are given. Teens labor diligently on a project and as a result, they find purpose in their work.

DWYANE WADE AND STANCE SOCKS LAUNCH COLLABORATIVE LINE
Posted on November 1st, by HeatherZeller in BLOG.
As one of the NBA's top trendsetters, Dwyane Wade's novel way of dressing has influenced players across the league. He's constantly recognized among the best-dressed athletes, with a standout style from head-to-toe. Now the hoops star and style icon is capitalizing on the latter. Wade has collaborated with Stance Socks to develop a signature collection. He's no stranger to the world of fashion design, but this marks his first venture into the sock industry.
The company's bold, unconventional designs have often been seen on the feet of Wade. Together with the NBA star, Stace Socks has launched The Dwyane Wade Collection. The range of casual and gentlemen socks were designed and developed by Wade himself and include 13 different styles. Calyann Barnett, Creative Consultant of Brand Wade, also collaborated on various designs for the collection, which pulled inspiration from Wade's personal life and experiences. Items feature vibrant colors and striking patterns, from animal prints to scenic shots.
"Style has always been a personal interest of mine, and I'm excited to be able to express some of my own influences through my collection for Stance," said Dwyane Wade. "Socks are often overlooked in fashion, but socks have the amazing ability to transform any ensemble into a bold fashion statement that reflects your personality and mood."
The Dwyane Wade Collection sock styles retail for $14.00 and are currently available here. Check out a preview:
Cubana ($14.00)

Beautifully Green Travel: 12 Ecotourism Destinations
Photo by Dylan Walters.
Ecotourism has become a hot buzzword when it comes to travel. Defined by the International Ecotourism Society as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people," it's part of the wave of green initiatives sprouting up all over the world. Ecotourism also tends to focus on getting out of the hotel and into the natural world, away from the beaten path and into areas that sometimes get missed, to learn about native cultures and ecology and help preserve the natural beauty and wonders of the planet.
From exotic, far-flung locales like Belize and Iceland to surprisingly green destinations closer to home, we've tracked down 12 of the best green travel spots in the world. Start planning your next trip… or just be an armchair tourist!

Located on the northeastern coast of Central America, Belize has become a popular ecotourism destination. With thick forests and a gorgeous tropical coastline, the country packs more than 87 distinct types of ecosystems into less than 9,000 square miles, an area about the size of New Jersey.
Tourism in general and ecotourism specifically are among the most important industries in Belize, and it's no surprise. With a spectacular barrier reef (and the world-famous Blue Hole), over a thousand cays (islands), abundant wildlife, and excellent waters for fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and kayaking, there's no end to the adventures waiting to be had.

On the other side of the spectrum from tropical Belize, Iceland offers a surprising array of ecotourism options. This land of fire and ice is known for its volcanoes, fjords, hot springs, and a nationwide commitment to sustainable and environmentally conscious living. Virtually all of Iceland's electricity comes from renewable resources, including geothermal, wind, and hydroelectric power, and the Icelandic Tourism Board rewards hostels, hotels, tours, and attractions for green practices.
While you might think of Iceland as a cold and inhospitable environment, quite the opposite is true! The choice is yours, whether you want to spend your vacation relaxing at a geothermal spa, enjoying a whale watching boat tour, or horseback riding in the mountains. You'll certainly not lack for fun things to do on this northern island. We can't promise that Eyjafjallajökull won't spout more travel-disrupting plumes of ash, as it did in 2010, but at least you'd get to witness some striking visuals!
Dry Tortugas

Located about 70 miles west of Key West, Florida, the Dry Tortugas islands and the waters around them make up Dry Tortugas National Park, a location only accessible by boat or seaplane. You won't find a single car on any of these islands, and you won't find any naturally occurring fresh water, either, which is where the islands' name comes from.
The islands are famous for sea life, coral reefs, shipwrecks, and the unfinished Fort Jefferson, the largest masonry structure in the Western Hemisphere. Popular activities include birdwatching, scuba diving, picnicking, camping, and saltwater fishing. Just don't forget to bring plenty of water, but you're on your own if the rum is gone, too.

This small New England city, located on the shores of Lake Champlain, is proud of its eco-friendly culture. More than a third of Burlington's energy comes from renewable resources. Pesticides aren't allowed on public parks, land, or waterways, and residents have formed an extensive network of citizen-based environmental initiatives. Even the school systems use locally and organically grown food in their cafeterias.
With cold, snowy winters, warm summers, and gorgeous fall foliage, Burlington offers a wide range of activities to suit every interest. Local events include the Festival of Fools (yes, that's "fools," not "foods"), the Vermont Brewers Festival, and the Giant Pumpkin Regatta and Festival; Burlington is also home to one of the largest year-round farmers' markets in the state.

With 20 national parks, it's not surprising that the Central American nation of Costa Rica has a thriving ecotourism industry. It was also cited by the United Nations Development Programme for attaining high human development and equality as well as environmental sustainability, ranking fifth in the world and first in the Americas in the 2012 Environmental Performance Index.
One of the greenest countries in the world, Costa Rica was a pioneer of ecotourism and offers a huge range of tours, volunteer opportunities, and activities.

Long a bastion of counterculture icons and progressive thinkers, San Francisco is considered to be the second greenest city in America (after Portland, Oregon). You don't need a car to get around most parts of the city, with most tourists and residents alike opting to bike, walk, or take public transportation to get where they're going.
The city also maintains more than 200 parks, from the iconic Golden Gate Park to the Japanese Tea Garden. You'll find many excellent environmentally-conscious hotels and businesses in the area.

Switzerland might be best known for its skiing and alpine views, but this European country is also one of the world's most environmentally-conscious. Hydroelectric and nuclear power provide most of the country's electricity, and a far-reaching rail network makes it easy to get around without needing a car.
A little bigger than Maryland, Switzerland is home to biodiversity of both landscapes and climates. From alpine glaciers to lakes, forests, pastures, and the headwaters of several famous rivers that flow across Europe, there's definitely something for everyone.

The citizens of Portland like to say that their city, regularly named one of the greenest cities in the world, was green before green was cool. Public transportation, bicycles, and walking are the most popular modes of transportation within the city limits. Green-certified buildings and businesses are on every street corner, and numerous parks dot the landscape.
Forest Park is the largest wilderness park within any city's limits in the United States; you'll also find a world-famous zoo, Japanese Garden, and the International Rose Test Garden. With more than 40 breweries calling Portland home, it's also been named the best city in the United States for happy hour!

Jackson Hole is actually the name of a valley near the border of Idaho in the Teton Mountains. The town of Jackson is its only incorporated town, and the valley is a mecca for tourists exploring Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, and the Snow King and Grand Targhee Resort ski areas.
Jackson is alsohome to the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Grand Teton Music Festival, and the Center for the Arts, as well as a thriving downtown shopping and entertainment district and a wide variety of sporting activities, from dogsledding to parkour. Many local businesses strive to follow eco-friendly guidelines and green practices, since much of the region's economy is based on preserving its natural beauty.

America's largest state is an outdoor lover's paradise. This state of sweeping vistas, vast wilderness, and spectacular scenery is a prime destination for travelers seeking a connection with nature at its wildest.
The Alaska Wilderness Recreation and Tourism Association represents more than 300 nature-based tourism businesses, individuals, and organizations offering natural history tours, rafting, fishing, kayaking, hiking, backpacking, wilderness lodges, hunting, and day ocean cruises and charters trips. The association also advocates for sustainability of the state's natural and cultural resources.

New Zealand is located in the Pacific Ocean, across the Tasman Sea from Australia. It's a remote nation comprised of two large islands and numerous smaller islands, a place of distinctive biodiversity that includes a number of species unique to the island. With a geography ranging from steep, snow-covered mountains to tropical beaches, New Zealand's range of available activities is incredible. Given the country's distance from the rest of the world, it's not surprising that sustainability and eco-friendly practices are widespread. Some 31% of New Zealand's energy supply comes from renewable sources, primarily hydroelectric and geothermal power.
Ecotourism is a thriving industry in the country, with wildlife tours showcasing everything from whales to parrots and activities from kayaking to mountain biking. Many resorts and tour companies cater to the green traveler, with organic, locally sourced, and environmentally conscious accommodations and activities.
Volunteer vacations

Looking for a truly rewarding travel experience? Try a volunteer vacation. Driven by people's desire to do something to give back to the world, volunteer tourism has grown significantly in recent years, offering experiences ranging from weekend trail repair trips in National Parks to journeys to assist with environmental research in Kenya.
There are hundreds of service organizations that conduct volunteer vacations; check the company's background and credentials before signing up. Well-known organizations like the Sierra Club and Habitat for Humanity provide excellent options, though many lesser-known opportunities exist as well.
Volunteer trip accommodations range from well-appointed hotels to tents in the woods, so make sure you know what you're signing up for. If you're willing to work up a sweat or spend some time helping deserving organizations, a volunteer vacation could be just what the doctor ordered!

Q: FTDI D2XX Windows to Linux I have a simple polling loop for a serial port that receives continuous bit bang data, and I'm seeing big performance losses moving from Windows to Linux.
It's a really simple application using FTDI's D2XX driver to run a USB UART in async bit bang mode to continuously read incoming data.
It's just always polling for a minimum number of incoming bytes, if quantity is met read entire receive buffer into memory, repeat.
My issue is that I originally wrote this in Windows. Each loop is completed in 2 milliseconds or less, with about 0.01% of loops straying out of range into the 2-2.5 millisecond zone. This was effectively perfect for my application.
However, I'm using Ubuntu on my server, which is where this application is meant to run. The problem is that using the exact same code, Linux is significantly slower. Effectively 1% of loops exceed 2 milliseconds, and I've seen peaks as high as 10 milliseconds. Even more oddly, when these peaks happen, it is usually in a pattern like below (in microseconds):
1500
1490
1550
5000
500
430
450
50
1500
1400
So on average a loop takes 1.5 milliseconds, but there will be times when there's a big lag spike on one sample, and a handful of subsequent samples go way faster than average before returning to normal.
I'm currently playing with the kernel. I tried the stock low latency kernel from the repository, but it didn't seem to have a clear effect. It might have reduced the total number of loops that timeout from 1% to 0.7%, but it's not clear. I'm building a modified kernel with some optimizations for the Intel CPU I'm using, but I'm not optimistic.
I've read there's an ASYNC_LOW_LATENCY flag you can throw onto a serial port to improve performance, but the FTDI doesn't have a /dev/ttyUSB device associated with it when using the D2XX driver so I don't know how to proceed with that.
Does anybody know what it is about Linux that makes it slower than Windows reading this UART and is there anything I can do about it? Minimizing timeouts is kind of mission critical to me. I've even set real time priority for the thread running this code on a dedicated core and I am not seeing any improvement.
Any help would be appreciated.

A: *

*First question are your running Ubuntu on a VM or on a dedicated CPU? Virtual Machine definetly slows down the reading process.

*In the thread loop of your serial port how often do you read?
In C language I open the port with these settings:

    int iResult;
    int iParity_flag;
    int RTS_flag;
    int DTR_flag;

    struct termios PortSettings;

    // Open port
    fd = open(in_DeviceName, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
// Save File Descriptor
    int= fd;
    *out_FileDescriptor = fd;

    // Read in existing settings, and handle any error
    // NOTE: This is important! POSIX states that the struct passed to tcsetattr()
    // must have been initialized with a call to tcgetattr() overwise behaviour
    // is undefined
    if(tcgetattr(fd, &PortSettings) != 0) {
        printf("Error %i from tcgetattr: %s\n", errno, strerror(errno));
    }

    // Open the device in nonblocking mode
    fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, FNDELAY);

    // Set parameters
    bzero(&PortSettings, sizeof(PortSettings));    // Clear all the options

        When VMIN is 0, VTIME specifies a time-out from the start of the read() call.
        When VMIN is > 0, VTIME specifies the time-out from the start of the first received character.
        Let's explore the different combinations:
        VMIN = 0, VTIME = 0: No blocking, return immediately with what is available
        VMIN > 0, VTIME = 0: This will make read() always wait for bytes (exactly how many is determined by VMIN), so read() could block indefinitely.
        VMIN = 0, VTIME > 0: This is a blocking read of any number of chars with a maximum timeout (given by VTIME). read() will block until either any amount of data is available, or the timeout occurs. This happens to be my favourite mode (and the one I use the most).
        VMIN > 0, VTIME > 0: Block until either VMIN characters have been received, or VTIME after first character has elapsed. Note that the timeout for VTIME does not begin until the first character is received.
        VMIN and VTIME are both defined as the type cc_t, which I have always seen be an alias for unsigned char (1 byte). This puts an upper limit on the number of VMIN characters to be 255 and the maximum timeout of 25.5 seconds (255 deciseconds).
    */

            memcpy (LocalBuffer+BytesCounter, ReadBuffer, bytes_read);
            BytesCounter = BytesCounter + bytes_read;
            SystemTick = GetSystem_getTick(); // Adapt your function here
        }
        if (BytesCounter == 0){
            break;
        }
        if (bytes_read == 0 && BytesCounter > 0){
            ElapsedTime = GetSystem_getTick() - SystemTick; // Adapt your function here
            if ((int)ElapsedTime > in_BytesDelay){
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    // Copy in out Buffer
    if (BytesCounter > LINUX_SERIAL_BUFFER){
        return -1;
    }
    else{
        memcpy ((unsigned char*)out_buffer, LocalBuffer, BytesCounter);
    }

You can adapt the code at your needs.
if you want to test it better I use a software called SerialTool www.serialtool.com which beautifully works on Windows, Linux (Ubuntu) and MacOS.
It allows you to set the read timeout between each byte (take a look at the consifiguration somewhere in the software) and you won't loose any byte.
At least you can compare the two version in Windows and Linux.
I use it on Ubuntu and it runs faster than Windows on FTDI USB converter.
Take a look at it!
I hope this helped your task.

Alojzije Jembrih (Varasd, 1947. június 11. –) horvát irodalomtörténész, kroatológus, nyelvész, szlavista, filológus. A kaj-horvát nyelv és irodalom területén jelentős szaktekintély.

Élete
Elemi iskolai tanulmányait a Korpona-Zagorje megyei Gregurovecon és a közeli Mihovljanon végezte. Gimnáziumi tanulmányait Zágrábban folytatta, majd beiratkozott a Bécsi Egyetemre, ahol szlavisztikát, művészettörténetet és filozófiát tanult. 1977-ben doktorált, disszertációját Vramecz Antal 16. századi horvát íróról írta.

1978-tól 1980-ig a zágrábi ószláv nyelvű tanszék asszisztense volt, majd pedig három évig a horvát nyelv intézetének asszisztense. 1983-tól tizenhárom éven át Ljubljanában, az ottani szlavisztika szakon tanított horvát nyelvet. 1997-től a horvát nyelv professzora a zágrábi egyetemen, illetőleg a csáktornyai pedagógusképző előadója is.

Munkája
Munkája külön specializálódik a kaj-horvát irodalomra, amelyről már több könyvet, tanulmányt és cikket írt. Külön foglalkozik a reformációkori horvát protestáns lelkészek és irodalmárok munkáival, s e célból évekig külön kutatómunkát végzett a németországi Bad Urachban, ahol több horvát protestáns is élt.

Számos régi kaj-horvát könyv utánnyomásánál (fakszimile) vett részt, amelyekhez tudományos fülszövegeket és elemzéseket csatolt. Részt vesz a burgenlandi horvátok nyelvének és irodalmának kutatásában és elemzésében, valamint tagja több intézménynek is.
