Session I addressed a broad range of considerations which impact pastoral production systems in yak rearing areas, including social, economic and environmental factors. Many of the papers recognised that these systems are concerned with more than just livestock production, and stressed the need for a more interdisciplinary approach to pastoral development. Participants emphasised that alternative livelihood strategies need to be considered as a means for improving the living standards of local people.
Socio-economic factors that specifically affect both human and yak demographics were discussed. In some areas, for example, external factors, such as increased government control over land resources in protected areas, and/or alternative livelihood options such as tourism, have caused new constraints on traditional systems resulting in declining human and yak populations in some areas. In other cases, collapsing local economies (e.g. in the Central Asian States) have led to a rise in yak numbers, mainly because yak (intrinsically a multi-purpose animal) are known by local people to provide a solid subsistence base.
Most of the papers illustrated how issues, which impede development in pastoral areas, are often social rather than technical in nature. In fact, technical interventions are usually not adopted unless and until the socio-cultural and economic situation is understood and appreciated. Some papers highlighted the rapid changes in political boundaries and policies that have led to restricted livestock mobility and the marginalisation of pastoral people, pointing out that such changes need to be understood in order to identify realistic strategies for livestock and rangeland development. It was also mentioned that mechanisms need to be considered which will ensure secure tenure, both within and across borders.
Other papers noted how land management policies in general are often not responsive to local conditions in yak rearing areas. One paper described the interactive effects of climate and grazing on alpine pastures, indicating that while livestock are often blamed for declining rangeland productivity, the situation is much more complex. Current policies may not adequately address this fact, however, which highlights the need to develop more appropriate policies based on accurate and up-to-date research. Greater stakeholder involvement (primarily of local herders and farmers) is also needed in the decision-making process.
Congress participants also raised the point that scientists themselves need to listen to herders, and stressed that more effective means of communicating research results to those most directly affected need to be devised. They also noted the need to recognise the aspirations of local people in efforts to maintain the integrity of mobile livestock systems.
Future research and/or policy recommendations:
More research is needed to substantiate the rhetoric of overgrazing. For example, we need to investigate more thoroughly the cumulative and interactive effects of climatic change and grazing on the Tibetan Plateau. Although this interaction is still poorly understood, climate change itself may trigger and account for rangeland productivity decline more than increasing livestock numbers and overgrazing. More quantitative research is also needed to substantiate the impacts of livestock on forest regeneration.
Recognising that policies, which restrict the traditional movements of pastoralists and their herds, have triggered rangeland degradation in at least some areas, historical research is needed which investigates the impact of policy change on pastoral regions.
The impacts of local, regional and international market forces on local communities need to be documented, in terms of factors such as labour and migration patterns, movement of goods, and the economic and social control of trade.
There is an intrinsic link between culture and the way local people perceive and manage their land and livestock. Indigenous knowledge of livestock and rangelands must be documented and integrated into current research programmes, as a basis for prioritising future technology and policy development in pastoral regions. Indigenous knowledge systems also need to be more fully understood, appreciated, respected and incorporated into policy decision-making.
There is a need to change the way we do research and development, from highly technical to interdisciplinary, from exclusive to inclusive, so that research is conducted with the full participation of farmers and herders. This will help facilitate understanding at the local level, and help establish an inter-cultural dialogue that facilitates effective extension and technology transfer. This type of approach seeks to find a means of basing future innovations on indigenous knowledge wherever possible, to help ensure that technologies are appropriate and sustainable at the local level.
Session II: Genetic diversity of wild and domestic yak-conservation and management
Chairpersons: Dr Olivier Hanotte, Mr David Steane and Dr Han Jianlin
Session II focused on the biological factors which affect the conservation and management of yak populations, specifically in terms of their genetic potential and limitations. It was noted that studies addressing yak diversity using protein and DNA markers are now well under way, though unfortunately the usefulness of some of this work has been limited by less than adequate sample sizes and methodologies. There is a clear need for more research on all breeding populations if we are to develop optimal strategies for their management. Classical quantitative genetics will continue to be the major method for any genetic change made in the short to medium term (10–20 years), with molecular genetics complementing rather than replacing these efforts.
All molecular genetics work (DNA and protein) on yak should be co-ordinated, starting with the standardisation of sampling procedures and methodological guidelines. Participants recommended that Mr David Steane and Dr Olivier Hanotte initially be contacted in this regard. A standard set of molecular markers of references should also be defined and included in every study.
Biological samples should be exchanged both within and between countries, following the principles outlined by the Convention on Biological Diversity. An international centre such as ILRI can help facilitate this process, and at the same time provide international recognition of individual country abilities and contributions.
There is a need for more phenotypic and environmental (including management) data, to be obtained and made available through central databanks such as Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations-Domestic Animals Diversity Information Service (FAO-DADIS) and International Yak Information Centre (IYIC).
To facilitate the proposals outlined above, a national co-ordinating group, which might include the existing national co-ordinators of animal genetic resources (AnGR), could be formed to cover all aspects relevant to the yak industry.
Chairpersons: Dr James Robinson, Mr Laurens Wester and Dr Zheng Yucai
This session focused on nutrition and forage management in yak rearing areas. More specifically, issues related to rangeland quality, the nutritive values of both native forages and supplementary feeds, and the importance and role of technology and indigenous knowledge were addressed.
Participants agreed that yak nutrition remains primarily dependent on natural forages in high mountain areas. Because of this, it was stressed that the carrying capacity of these rangelands must not be exceeded. Several papers highlighted the important role that shrubs can play in maintaining yak nutrition, particularly towards the end of summer when other natural feed varieties have been exhausted. Another stressed the fact that yak are fundamentally well adapted to their environment, pointing out that weight loss over the winter is a perfectly natural and acceptable phenomenon. The author questioned the necessity of supplemental feed sources given that most yak survive sufficiently on reserves built up over the summer on natural forage alone.
The practice of reseeding as a means of protecting rangeland resources was also discussed. One author stated that reseeding should be seen as a last resort, and should be considered only after other methods have been explored and tried first. He pointed out that appropriate technology for reseeding degraded rangeland is not available which herders themselves can apply. The technologies currently proposed require large machinery, and thus are out of reach of herders in Qinghai, for example, who often do not even have the money to buy seed. Another participant, noting that in Bangladesh at least, poor people have a high pay back rate, urged that microcredit schemes be considered to facilitate the introduction of appropriate technologies.
The importance of identifying and working with indigenous indicators of rangeland conditions was also mentioned. The person commented that outsiders are more likely to select erroneous indicators of rangeland conditions than are locals, which is why we should begin with indigenous indicators first. Another participant pointed out that science does not necessarily have all the solutions, and again stressed the importance of first learning what communities have been doing for centuries in these areas.
As in earlier sessions, participants also stressed the importance of sharing research results internationally. By way of example, one participant noted that protozoa are being discovered in other parts of the world that can detoxify plant poisons, a discovery which might prove useful for yak production in the future.
There is a need to assess the cost-benefits of supplemental feeding, including that done over part of the winter only. More specifically, there is a need to quantify the effects of feeding urea-treated straw in winter and compare these with the effects of regular straw.
There is a need to quantify the changes in protozoa over the course of the year, and to correlate these with feed intake and body weight, and changes resulting from different feeds.
Standard measures for both rangeland quality and the nutritional condition of yak need to be adopted, which are both scientifically valid and applicable over vast and often diverse areas where yak range.
Appropriate technology must be used to restore deteriorated rangeland to enhance the digestive efficiency of yak, and to provide supplementary feed, with the goal of enhancing yak survival over the winter months and productivity in the following year.
Indigenous knowledge must be taken into account when doing research to ensure that technologies used are appropriate. There is also a need to popularise introduced technologies and to facilitate their adoption through microcredit opportunities.
To facilitate informed decision making, there is a need to gather more quantitative data on yak production systems, and to generate a base for monitoring trends.
Chairpersons: Drs Ed Rege, Michael Goe and Zhao Xinbo
This session covered a broad area of topics related to reproduction, yak breeding and the yak production system, and included reports on yak evaluation studies and the status of yak populations as affected by changing economic and farming environments. Papers related to yak breeding covered phenotypic characterisation and aspects of genetic improvement—both within breed selection and crossbreeding involving different yak breeds, and hybridisation of yak and cattle. Papers on reproduction covered both male and female reproductive performance, including artificial insemination (AI), the effects of freezing and thawing semen, and aspects of semen sexing. A large number of published but not presented abstracts, some of which were referred to during the discussions, complemented the presented papers.
Both the papers and the ensuing discussions revealed that there is clearly an opportunity for crossing domestic yak with its wild relative. In fact, yak herders are already doing this routinely in some areas. However, the specific gains from such breeding systems have not yet been systematically quantified.
Crossbreeding among domestic yak populations was also discussed. However, the fact that this is happening in the absence of genetic and phenotypic characterisation data on the different yak populations involved highlighted the urgent need for yak populations to be characterised immediately.
The discussion also touched on possible gains to be had from cross-species hybridisation, specifically between yak and cattle. Two points were raised in this regard. First, there is a need to ensure that the practice does not deteriorate the traits of the breed—the situation now facing other species (e.g. cattle), where, because of a preference for crossbreeds, the less numerous indigenous populations have now become threatened. Second, it is important that the practice not be undertaken as a single path to genetic improvement, i.e. ignoring the characterisation and development of the yak resource itself.
Although the papers presented mainly focused on 'conventional' economic traits—reproductive traits, milk, meat (growth)— participants felt it was important to consider the aggregate genotype of yak in the development of yak breeding programmes. These should include the whole set of traits considered important by yak herders. Adaptive fitness in relation to the yak environment, transport (pack) function, fur yield and quality were some of the traits mentioned. It was noted that the future of yak would depend on their continued ability to survive in difficult—but increasingly changing—environments. Successful competition of yak products in a world of 'cheaper alternatives' will require the identification and promotion of an array of unique and exceptional high quality products, including a focus on 'niche' markets that will provide improved livelihoods to yak keepers. The issue concerning whether there is a real need to breed yak for increased body size—especially in view of the possibility of their becoming less adaptive in the process—was raised but not discussed conclusively.
Several papers raised the question of inbreeding as a possible problem for some yak populations in the region, but conflicting conclusions were suggested. Although there are differences between the various yak populations, none of the studies were of sufficient scope and design to provide compelling results in this regard. In view of the current belief that inbreeding is a problem for many yak populations in isolated areas, this issue needs to be addressed urgently by researchers. In the meantime, the practice of facilitating the exchange of bulls among herders should be promoted.
The yak is a seasonal breeder, and its peak-breeding season coincides with the time it resides in higher altitude areas—beyond the reach of extension agents. Consequently, attempts to use AI in yak have not been very successful. Thus, natural mating will remain the method of choice in yak breeding for the foreseeable future.
The need for an appropriate recording system for yak came out very strongly. A suggested set of measurements to be taken was presented. Although this was not discussed at length in the ensuing discussions, it presents a good starting point. One area that needs to be addressed is how such a recording system could be implemented (or simplified) given the mobility of the yak herds and the fact that most herders are illiterate. The benefits of recording, as pointed out, go beyond breeding and genetic improvement; improvement in herd management is probably the biggest and most immediate benefit of herd recording.
There is a big move towards high-tech molecular characterisation. Many countries, however, lamented that they do not have sufficient physical and human resources to undertake such characterisation on their own. The need for regional networking in this area became quite obvious and was emphasised. Additionally, some papers presented quite useful results from biochemical (principally protein polymorphism) analyses and phenotypic data-based on multivariate (principal component) analyses of linear and other body measurements. These techniques still have a role to play in breed characterisation, and should be applied in lieu of, or as a complement to, microsatellite or other DNA-based approaches.
One paper in the session presented some preliminary results on superovulation in yak. Another presented work on efficient production of transgenic bovine and cat embryos by microinjection and cloning—with implications for yak. Whereas these technologies, especially superovulation and embryo transfer, could possibly play an important role in ex-situ conservation of yak, they do not have an immediate application in commercial yak production. Unfortunately, because of time constraints, these two papers were among those not discussed in sufficient detail.
Genetic and phenotypic characterisation of existing yak populations is urgently needed.
More research is needed on the question of inbreeding within yak populations, particularly those located in remote, isolated areas.
An appropriate recording system for yak needs to be developed and standardised.
There is a need for regional networking, particularly concerning high-tech molecular characterisation.
Unique and exceptional high quality yak products need to be identified and promoted, as do the specialised 'niche' markets where they can be sold.
Chairpersons: Drs Eijin Han and Luo Xiaolin
This session focused on issues related to environmental physiology. Though it is well known that yak are well adapted to cold climates and high altitudes, and do not readily endure adverse environments such as those with high temperatures, one paper showed that at least some yak in North America are being raised in low elevation areas with warm climates for much of the year. These animals are said to be doing well.
Another paper described how adult yak at about 3000 metres above sea level displayed different physiological responses between seasons, namely the cold-humid (mean daily temperature 4.7 ± 2.3°C, and mean daily relative humidity of 74.5 ± 3.9%) and moderately cold-humid (mean daily temperature 18.1 ± 0.3°C, and mean daily relative humidity of 74.2 ± 2.5%). Using a Daily Search Index, it was found that yak lack thermoadaptability during the moderately cold season.
Another paper suggested that the crossbreeding of wild and domestic yak would be a useful tool for improving the productivity of yak in southern Qinghai Province.
Chairpersons: Drs Peter J. Waller, Lham Tshering and Hu Songhua
This session looked at health-related issues, such as diseases, which afflict yak and health services available to them. Specifically, the papers presented covered parasitic infections, bacterial infections, drug susceptibility testing, serological surveys, bovine mastitis and community animal health workers.
Improved health care needs to be provided to yak to improve their productivity.
Epidemiological surveillance of diseases afflicting yak need to be carried out.
Chairpersons: Drs Kulsina Kachkynbaeva and Han Jianlin
This session focused on the processing and marketing of yak products. Participants underlined the importance of developing raw material and different yak products processing for market. In particular, great attention was paid to meat, milk and butter processing and marketing, as well as leather and hair. Studies indicated that the processing and wide marketing of yak products could serve to improve the health of people and help to realise the sustainable development of the yak rearing regions of the world.
Further research and practical activities devoted to the investigation of all kinds of yak products and raw materials (food and non-food ones) are required to enhance the profitability of yak breeding and to promote the economic and social development of yak rearing regions.
Greater co-operation is needed for investigating, processing and marketing specific raw materials such as blood to produce high quality plasma and insulin; organs of internal secretion to produce valuable medicines to cure diseases; and horns and hooves to produce extremely valuable medicines to cure such serious diseases as cancer and contagious infectious disease (CID).
Co-operation is needed to develop international standards for yak products and to enlarge international market systems. This will help both to promote the development of yak rearing countries, and to supply as many countries as possible with ecologically sound and valuable goods.

Leave a Comment on Adam Sandler Height, Weight, Age, Bio, Body Measurements
With regards to the big time and parody, there's no doubt in our souls when we state this star has cut out a tremendous specialty for himself, he's so acceptable. Anyway, albeit today is about Adam Sandler's height, weight, and body estimations, we should require a couple of moments to get familiar with certain realities about the entertainer.
Adam Richard Sandler was brought into the world on September 9, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, to Judith "Judy" (nee Levine), a nursery instructor, and Stanley Sandler (1935-2003), an electrical designer.
Satire has been a piece of him since he was youthful; He began doing stand-up parody when he was 17 years of age.
Legend has it that in the entirety of his long stretches of stand-up satire, Adam Sandler has never composed a joke, evidently, he just says it in front of an audience … well that is a genuine indication of ability.
They all have humble beginnings and the star is no special case, it was in 1989 that she showed up in a film named Going Overboard. The film wasn't a lot, yet we question the minds a lot nowadays.
While attempting to succeed together, Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow were flatmates in a grimy condo; It should be so fulfilling for them since they have both made names for themselves.
He must be perhaps the most modest men on the planet, in light of how appealing he hopes to earth, you could never figure that he has total assets of over $ 300 million and on top of that, his movies have been created. One trillion dollars around the world.
Sandler headed off to college and was continually told by his educators that he could never accomplish an incredible method to refute them, Adam.
Here is fun, Sandler is a canine darling and has two canines that showed up in his motion pictures. Their names are Meatballs and Matzoball.
Sandler loves to show the individuals (and animals) he cherishes in his motion pictures, Hotel Transylvania really included the voices of his significant other and girl.
Before we move diverted with all these cool realities about him, we should proceed onward to the current subject, beginning with Adam Sandler's height.
Adam Sandler height
Adam Sandler is certifiably not a short person, as we can say without a doubt, the entertainer is 5 feet 10 inches tall and despite the fact that he sees it, there are a modest bunch of individuals who might want to contrast. In spite of the fact that you may reason that its casual stance causes it to show up somewhat more limited than it really is, at the end of the day, it isn't close by anyone's standards to being short.

Adam Sandler Age
Notwithstanding everything, a few people don't accept that the entertainer is as tall as his height, the standard proof has been given. From photographs with different stars to photographs of him with ladies in heels, nonetheless, you know how we do it, we will go with his height showed on this one.
Here are some outstanding characters who are as tall as the star as per their expressed height. Taylor Swift, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, Adam Levine, Colin Farrell, and Adriana Lima share Adam Sandler's height.

The weight of Adam Sandler
He's never been especially torn or partial to, however, the entertainer makes his 86 kilograms look as great as could be expected. Be that as it may, we do have a couple of comments about her body changes throughout the long term. You might be acquainted with her various face changes to the parts she contacts, yet now we will bring you down the path of her body changes.
In his 2006 film Click, he plays a stout man, not actually enormous for the job, however needed to put on a couple of additional pounds to sell it well. After the film, a controlled eating regimen took him back to his battling weight. In 2008, we had the opportunity to see him look more athletic and more in the film Don't Mess With The Zohan. To accomplish this, he employed an expert mentor, who caused him to acquire muscle and consume fat.
In 2009, he added somewhat more meat to his bones, he wasn't fat, however, he certainly lost his "Don't meddle with the Zohan" look. Nowadays, he has a daddy's body.
Adam Sandler's Body Measurements
Notwithstanding Adam Sandler's height and weight, here is an outline of his body estimations.
Height: 5 feet 10 inches
Weight: 86 kilograms.
Chest size: 44 inches
Abdomen Size: 38 inches
Arms/Biceps: 14 inches

Q: Build Systems for PHP Web Apps I want to start automating more of my web development process so I'm looking for a build system. I write mostly PHP apps on Mac OS X and deploy Linux servers over FTP. A lot of my clients have basic hosting providers so shell access to their servers is typically not available, however remote MySQL access is usually present. Here is what I want to do with a build system:

*

*When Building:

*

*Lint JavaScript Files

*Validate CSS Files

*Validate HTML Files

*Minify and concatenate JS and CSS files

*Verify PHP Syntax

*Set Debug/Production flags

*When Deploying

*

*Checkout latest version from SVN

*Run build process

*Upload files to server via FTP

*Run SQL scripts on remote DB

I realize this is a lot of work to automate but I think it would be worth it. So what is the best way to start down this path? Is there a system that can handle builds and deploys, or should I search for separate solutions? What systems would you recommend?

A: All you ask for can be done with Phing
Phing is a deployment framework written in PHP and modeled after Apache Ant. It comes with a large set of ready-to-use deployment tasks, including database deployment, remote file transfers and VCS connectivity. If you are missing functionality, you can extend Phing with standard PHP.
Phing provides the following features:

*

*Simple XML buildfiles

*Rich set of provided tasks

*Easily extendable via PHP classes

*Platform-independent: works on UNIX, Windows, MacOSX

*No required external dependencies

*Built & optimized for ZendEngine2/PHP5

A: You might also want to have a look to Hudson, an extensible continuous integration server.
The supported features are available here.
Among the other languages, it supported PHP. This article presents some nice plugins for PHP. The article is also suggesting Phing for the build. See Gordon's answer for details.

STEPHENVILLE – Tarleton got the final home series of the season off to a good start Friday night as the No. 15 TexAnns were firing on all cylinders in an 8-1 win over UT Permian Basin.
Tarleton got runs early and often by scoring in each of the first four innings of the game, beginning with an RBI single from Tanna Huie in the first to put the TexAnns on the board at 1-0.
Elizabeth Svienty got a three-run second inning started by drawing a one-out walk before eventually coming around to score on an RBI double from Georgia Capell. Meghann Wrinkle and Nyka Wood kept the scoring alive with an RBI sacrifice fly and an RBI single, respectively, to push the Tarleton lead out to 4-0 after two.
After UTPB cracked the run column with one in the third, Tarleton added one more in their half of the third on an RBI single from Kaitlyn Thomas before a Wood sacrifice fly and a Megan Durante home run tacked on two more in the fourth to extend the lead out to 7-1.
Durante struck again in the sixth with her second solo home run of the game – her third career multi-home run game and second this season – to extend the Tarleton lead out to the final score.
Jordan Withrow sat the Falcons down in order in the seventh to put a cap on her 23rd win of the season, tying Haley Freyman for the second-most wins in a single season. She is one win away from tying Brooke Saulters' 2007 mark of 24 wins for the most in a year at Tarleton. Withrow allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five.
Eight of the nine TexAnns in the starting lineup had at least one hit in the 12-hit effort, led by a 3-3 night from Durante with two RBI and two runs scored. Wrinkle and Thomas had two hits each while Georgia Capell, Wood, Tanna Huie, Karli Herron, and Elizabeth Svienty had one hit each.
Tarleton will be back in action tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. for a doubleheader with the Falcons. There will be a 'Senior Day' ceremony after the games for the seven TexAnn seniors on the roster – Haley Freyman, Nyka Wood, Kaitlyn Thomas, Marisa Flores, Meghann Wrinkle, Megan Durante, and Megan Rosewell.

Le Monastère des Augustines
Quebec City, Canada
Le Monastère des Augustines is set in the former Hôtel-Dieu de Québec monastery. It dates back to 1639, and was where the Augustinian Sisters established North America's first hospital north of Mexico. A focus on wellness makes it inviting to guests seeking solitude, and a convenient setting to explore Old Québec.
Dana Rebmann, Travel writer
The monastery-turned-hotel is blessed with a prime Québec City location. The first hospital founded by the Augustinian Sisters is still open, and with good navigation skills can be accessed from the property. Just a block away, shop-and-restaurant-lined rue Saint-Jean, is practically on Le Monastère's doorstep. Dufferin Terrace, with scenic views of the St. Lawrence River, is only a 15-minute walk. From there you can hop on the Funiculaire du Vieux-Québec (or take the steps if you are feeling energetic) to the vibrant Petit-Champlain District.
Le Monastère des Augustines is a haven for wellness, set within the walls of a 17th-century building, still home to a dozen Augustinian Sisters. Guests sleep in the restored former cloister, and can exchange 'bonjours' with Sisters as they pass they pass throughout the day. Hallways near the Authentic rooms feature religious artwork, while hallways that connect Contemporary rooms have more of a sleek, modern design.
Throughout nearly four centuries the Augustinian Sisters established 12 hospitals, creating the foundation for Québec's public healthcare system. Le Monastère des Augustines is a non-profit organisation designed to preserve and share the Augustinian Sisters' heritage with the public.
The property's core structure is historic, but additions and adaptations were necessary to welcome guests. Updates including glass and steel make it clear to guests what is old, and what is new. With a focus on wellness, activities including yoga, Tai Chi, and guided walks are offered throughout the day. Staff are pleasant, and well-versed in English and French. There is also a spa offering massage and reflexology treatments.
Le Monastère des Augustines offers two types of accommodations: Authentic rooms and Contemporary rooms. Authentic rooms are restored former cells lived in by the Augustinian Sisters. Simple in design, they have antique furnishings, a sink and mirror. Of the 33 rooms, a majority have one single bed, however a handful offer two single beds. Shared bathrooms are down the hall.
The 32 Contemporary rooms are white with little decoration, though more modern with private bathrooms and a king-sized, queen-sized, or two single beds. There are no televisions, telephones, or even clocks in any rooms. Alarm clocks can be requested.
The on-site restaurant is based on the Augustinian Sisters' belief in mindful eating. Open to the public, a prix fixe menu is offered at every meal; breakfast is complimentary for guests. There's no set menu; selections vary day to day based on availability of local or organic foods. With the exception of butter available to guests for bread, the kitchen is dairy-free. Breakfast is served buffet-style, and is eaten in silence. Lunch is the heaviest meal, and always includes a vegetarian option that can be served vegan.
Entrée examples include duck breast with onion and Jerusalem artichoke purée, and stewed pie with grilled vegetables. Both lunch and dinner include an unlimited buffet of vegetables, and salads. Dinner is the lightest meal of the day, designed to improve digestion and sleep. Along with the salad buffet, it includes a protein like baked arctic char with coconut and carrot sauce. Alcoholic beverages are only served at dinner.
The boutique, near the main entrance, is also home to a lunch counter that offers an assortment of sandwiches, salads, beverages and snacks.
Authentic double rooms from 155 Canadian Dollars (£91) in low season; and from 207 Canadian Dollars (£121) in high. Contemporary double rooms from 199 Canadian Dollars (£117) in low season; and from 253 Canadian Dollars (£148) in high. Breakfast included. Free Wi-Fi.
The hotel is accessible by lift and six rooms are adapted.
The property is best suited for adults.

New 'Kick-Ass' Movies and A Lot More From Matthew Vaughn
written by Nick Allen June 11, 2018
GooglePinterestDiggLinkedinRedditStumbleuponTumblr
Excellent news if you're a fan of Matthew Vaughn (or a fan of just plain fun films in general)! The director of Kick-Ass and the Kingsman movies is starting his own studio and he's got big plans for it. In a recent interview, Vaughn revealed his brand-new Marv Studios has several exciting projects in the works. Get ready, because this could be good!
More 'Kick-Ass', Please
First of all, it looks like Kick-Ass is getting a reboot. This may seem a little soon, but stick with me here. The first film was great. Further, it was well-received and developed a bit of a cult following. This was way back in 2010, though. A sequel followed that was significantly worse in quality. I know I saw it but, honestly I don't remember it at all. Now, it has been over five years since Kick-Ass 2. Matthew Vaughn seems to think enough nostalgia has grown around the original film to warrant a reboot. I agree with him.
'Kick-Ass' was one of the most fun, ridiculous movies of the last decade. And Nic Cage (as Big Daddy) was one of the best parts.
It's also worth noting that any new Kick-Ass movies or projects wouldn't be simple rehashes of the original film. In the interview, Vaughn hints at some very interesting ideas. He raised the possibility of a Hit-Girl standalone film. Personally, I'd love to see a Hit-Girl prequel, telling the story of how she learned to kick ass with Big Daddy. It could be excellent, especially if Nic Cage is involved. Vaughn also hints that a Kick-Ass reboot could move in a similar direction as the comics. Currently, the comic version of Kick-Ass is actually an African-American single mother named Patience Lee, who bought the same wetsuit/costume as Dave and chose to continue his legacy. I'd be very interested to see her story on the big screen.
More 'Kingsman' Than You Ever Dreamed Possible
Would you want to see a 'Statesman' film centered on these two? Well, one's coming!
A third Kingsman movie is on its way, which will apparently conclude the story of Eggsy (Taron Egerton). I like the idea the character having his own trilogy, a beginning, middle, and end. That's not all, though. Vaughn also has a Kingsman spinoff planned, which will shoot back-to-back with the third movie. The spinoff will detail the early years of the organization. And that's STILL not all! Channing Tatum is set to star in yet another spinoff. This film will focus on the American counterpart to the Kingsman, the Statesman. Tatum, Halle Berry, and Jeff Bridges should be reprising their roles from The Golden Circle. Finally, Vaughn mentioned a Kingsman television series is also on its way. Is that enough Kingsman for you or what?
Other Matthew Vaughn Projects
Probably the most intriguing project, in my opinion, on the way from Marv studios is a Sir Elton John biopic. Taron Egerton will star in the film, entitled Rocketman. According to Vaughn, this will be a biopic unlike any we have seen in recent years. He says it will be full of "drugs, sex, and rock'n'roll". Vaughn also described it as an "R-rated musical." If that's not intriguing to you, you probably don't have a pulse. Vaughn and Marv Studios will co-produce the project. I think it's safe to say that the newly-christened Marv Studios already has a lot on its plate. It's ambitious, but it's clear that Matthew Vaughn has a vision for his studio. If they move forward with these projects with the same enthusiasm that always permeates his movies, I think Marv Studios could be a major force in Hollywood. At the very least, I know I'll be showing up for all of these.

Q: Is there a way to require constructors that take particular arguments? I think what I'm trying to do is easy, but I'm not getting the right collection of search terms.  What I want is a trait that guarantees that all implementing classes have a constructor that can be invoked with an object of a known type.  The syntax ought to be:
trait Message {
  def this(rdr: msgpack.MsgReader): Message
}

but the compiler tells me it expects an equals sign.  Any idea how to do this?

A: Use the typeclass pattern instead:
trait Message[T] {
  def read(reader: msgpack.MsgReader): T
  // Example of what would be a normal instance method.
  // thiz is similar to this, except because we're in another object it must be explicitly taken as parameter.
  // It's in a separate param list for convention and ease of currying
  def foo(thiz: T)(param1: Int): Boolean
}

// "Implementors" don't actually implement it, the behavior exists as its own singleton
class Foo { ... }

implicit object FooMessage extends Message[Foo] {
  // Note that this is not restricted to just constructors. If you want that then you are really out of luck. (And probably doing it wrong.)
  override def read(reader: msgpack.MsgReader) = ???
  override def foo(thiz: Foo)(param1: Int) = thiz.foo(param1)
}

// Usage
// Use an explicit, named implicit param to avoid implicitly
def readMsg[T: Message](reader: msgpack.MsgReader) = implicitly[Message[T]].read(reader)

val foo = readMsg[Foo](???)


Motivational aphorisms, sayings, and stories can actually encourage us and motivate us.
This form of sayings is most times very effective and helpful to us in our daily endeavors.
Actually, motivational quotes are inspiring to us as individuals and can modify or change our thinking.
Consequently, this has a positive effect on our actions.
It is a very inspiring piece.
Maybe Lucille Ball was very reserved as a kid and has serious issues with shyness, timidity and social anxiety.
But the fact that such criticism came from a teacher or administrator who is not a trained psychologist could point to the fact that the critique is shallow or baseless.
Nevertheless, she still went to be a success and did greater things- that's what really matters as she did not let those critiques count or let her down.
Another story highlighted in this video is about Walt Disney being fired at work for having no imagination and lack of originality in all his ideas.
It can be inspiring to hear such stories giving us hope that not all people in higher positions than us or people we work with or under their authority really know our real worth or value.
But what about a person who got terminated from work for not being creative enough to add effective value to the company.
They probably found themselves blaming " the economy" or "management" for their lack of employment or progress; rather than considering that they need to change their personal thinking, perspective, and actions.
Another huge domain or collections of motivational quotes is popularly called Wise sayings which most of the times are inspiring, motivating, and generally helpful.
This is an old quote and still much relevant and comforting, perhaps for someone who considers themselves intellectually superior but unfortunately, their ideas are underrated and overlooked.
Thou some few people have considered this quote incomplete or inaccurate- here is another version.
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.
Well, taking a risk in order to develop yourself personally and improve creativity is a good idea.
I really like Sandra Bullock's comment about how she chooses her movie roles. She said " I don't do anything anymore that feel safe.
But there are many examples of people doing or let's say attempting to do something really scary and risky like teasing a gorilla by holding a banana near their cage, running with the bulls in Spain or using a homemade ramp to skateboard over a parked car. Don't pay attention to stupid people quotes!
Obviously, that's not what she meant but she was trying to make people strong and bold enough to take calculated risks at various levels of their lives and overcome challenges so they could become better people.

Hamilton Elementary School (formerly Trites School)
Hamilton Elementary School in 2004.
City of Richmond Archives Photograph
Hamilton Elementary School (1934- ) began as Trites School (1910-1934), which was located on Westminster Highway and No. 7 Road, and which had been named after Frank N. Trites and Wycliffe Steves Trites, a couple of Steveston businessmen who became municipal councillors during the early 1900s.
In 1933, the school was relocated to No. 9 Road and Westminster Road to better serve the children of the Japanese community in east Richmond and Queensborough. It was at this juncture that the school was renamed Hamilton. The school was relocated again in 1959 to Gilley and Westminster Highway and eventually moved into a brand new school located at 5180 Smith Drive in October of 1995.
Alexander Hamilton (1885-1939) moved to Richmond in 1926 and became one of the early pioneers in berry farming. During the 1930s, he served on the school board and in 1932 met with a delegation of Japanese speaking parents and consented to move Trites School further eastwards to better accommodate the needs of their children living in east Richmond. This relocated school was named in his honour.

Refining the point about GW Bush's final press conference
I mentioned a few minutes ago, while GW Bush's final press conference was underway, that the president seemed unusually "self-aware."
That's not quite right. On matters of policy, he revealed himself to be as isolated and out of touch as his critics (including me) would have assumed all along. Two illustrations: he hotly challenged the premise of one question that his policies had made America less prestigious and respected around the world, saying that was just the view of some "elites" and other pantywaists in part of Europe. Go to China! he said. They still respect us there. Yes, sort of. As I've written many times in the Atlantic, China does not seem in any deep way "anti-American," and they generally think US-China relations are good. But no thinking person has the slightest doubt that the Iraq, Guantanamo, and Abu Ghraib policies, in particular, have hurt America's image badly here as they have in most other places. To say what the President did indicates how carefully he has been protected from any unfiltered feedback from the real world.
So too with his wistful, regretful-sounding comments about the "harsh tone" in Washington DC. He was completely believable in saying that he hoped things would go better for Barack Obama. But does he recall the name Karl Rove? Does he remember which Vice President told a U.S. Senator from the other party to fuck off, on the Senate floor? There is no point refighting these wars. I'm simply saying: the very sincerity of the President's comments indicated how isolated he has been, or what he has chosen to forget.
Nonetheless: I think even people who oppose the Bush Administrations policies would find it somewhat harder to dislike him viscerally after this performance -- rather than getting angrier the more they see him, as with most of his appearances over these last eight years. The self-awareness I mentioned was purely on a personal level. Even though he defended his tax cuts and his other policies and even the execution of the Katrina response, everything in his posture, expression, and body language -- even his emphasis on the word defeat in talking about the 2008 results -- indicated that he has taken in the fact that things have not gone well.
It is true, he can hardly express himself in anything resembling sentences. But he displayed none of the little moue of pride when he got out a tricky name or a big word, a tic very familiar from his past speeches. To me, he helped rather than hurt himself with this last performance. And to recognize what an achievement this is: think how it would be to hear a valedictory hour's worth of Dick Cheney.
James Fallows is a staff writer for The Atlantic and has written for the magazine since the late 1970s. He has reported extensively from outside the United States and once worked as President Carter's chief speechwriter. He and his wife, Deborah Fallows, are the authors of the 2018 book Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey Into the Heart of America, which was a national best seller and is the basis of a forthcoming HBO documentary.

It is difficult to understand the tricks and trends of Houston real estate deals. For this reason, when clients contemplate Houston real estate purchase, it is advisable to work along with real estate companies or brokers who are equipped to find affordable deals that fit in an individual's budget. Real estate encompasses commercial and residential property. Certain residential real estate purchases are made keeping in mind, their revenue generation potential. As such, it gets complicating for a layman to comprehend options, calculations, and price considerations of real estate.
Houston real estate companies could be listed firms with multiple employees. Individuals may also choose to work on their own as independent agents or brokers. In case of firms, employees may be likely to receive a regular salary. Their actual source of income is proportionately related to the number of successful deals they are able to close. Houston real estate companies inform prospective clients well in advance about their service charges, terms, and conditions. A large number of real estate agents have regular jobs elsewhere and this business is their secondary source of income. Other individuals treat their real estate jobs as part time options.
Houston real estate companies undertake most dealings pertaining to property. This includes, lease, rentals, sale purchase and appraisals. Real estate companies offer all of these services at varying service charges. Income for real estate companies is entirely dependent upon luck and conversion rate of deals. Since this business is dependent upon local factors, the price of adjacent neighborhoods, inflation, and global trends, the business is considered highly volatile.
Most Houston real estate companies provide special listings regarding types of property. Companies often offer online information that is easy to access. When deciding to join a Houston real estate company, interested individuals may enroll with a real estate school that provides certified courses. People who do not opt for real estate education may also start practicing with a reputed company or agent.

Today, it is no longer a dream. A mere 100 years ago, less than 10% of World Jewry lived in the Land of Israel. Today, around 50% of world Jewry live in the Land of Israel. A nation has returned to its land. Still, every day, Jews around the world pray towards the center of the universe. But, today, millions of Jews pray IN the Land. Today, the Land has come back to life as it's children have returned to its soil. The Land has become fertile after being desolate for so long. But the prophecies of the Bible are now becoming a reality as young children and old people walk the streets of Jerusalem and the hills of Judea and Samaria are populated with hundreds of thousands of families.

Archerstown Demesne, a development situated at the edge of Ashbourne's sports grounds, has proved so popular with families since it was launched in September 2014 that Lotara Developments has since added a multitude of phases.
With prospective purchasers once again experiencing the boom-era spectre of being priced out of Dublin, commuter-belt towns like Ashbourne have witnessed a revival in popularity.
In 2017, Lotara, which is part of Mullen Developments, added a 45-home phase called The Elms to Archerstown Demesne, which is just off Bachelors Walk in the Co Meath town.
This weekend will see the latest phase, The Oaks, go on the market for the first time.
When it's finished, The Oaks will consist of 47 homes, with the initial tranche of 15 three-bed houses due to be released tomorrow.
Fourteen of the properties are three-bed semi-detached houses and one is a detached three-bed. The first houses are due to be ready by the summer, and there are plans afoot for four-bed homes in further phases.
Prices in the first release start at €365,000 for the semi-detached houses, which measure 1,258 sq ft. Buyers can add more living space to the three-beds in future, however, as the attics are primed for conversion at a later stage.
Designed by Terry O'Flanagan Architects, the homes have a facade finished in brick and render.
There are high-performance double-glazed windows throughout, and a slate canopy over a composite front door with a hardwood frame and a multi-point locking system. There is Barleystone paving and decorative railings to the front driveway, with a side access gate leading to the back of each property. To the rear, French doors open on to a back garden that's enclosed by timber-panel fencing with concrete posts. Most of the gardens in this release have a southerly aspect.
The kitchen, which is supplied by Gallagher Kitchens, has a contemporary feel and comes with a fitted extractor fan, a feature kitchen island with a sink and space for an integrated dishwasher, and worktops.
However, the upstand and backsplash are not included. The utility room is plumbed for a washing machine and dryer.
There are fitted wardrobes to the bedrooms, while the bathrooms and ensuites have tiling, sanitaryware and heated towel rails.
Other interior touches include an under-stairs storage area with a sensor light, moulded architrave and skirting throughout, and chrome ironmongery. All the internal walls are painted in Antique Cream.
The houses have an A3 rating, so heating costs will be substantially lower for purchasers moving from older homes. Energy-saving features include PV panels from Activ8 that generate top-up electricity supplies and a boiler with an energy efficiency of more than 90pc for the gas-fired central heating.
Archerstown Demesne is within walking distance of five primary schools and two secondary schools, and the town centre is a 10-minute walk away.
The scheme is 24km from Dublin city centre, and there are Bus Éireann services to the city, Dublin Airport and Navan. The M2 Ashbourne bypass is a three-minute drive away.
Viewings of a three-bed semi-detached showhouse, which overlooks a large landscaped area to the front, will take place from 1.30pm to 3pm tomorrow and Sunday.

As we sat outside at a picnic table, watching our boys play, my friend and I talked about one of my favorite little daily reads, Jesus Calling. She had actually downloaded it on her phone, but was so far behind that she had avoided reading it. The idea of catching up to where she was supposed to be seemed daunting. "Why not just pick up with today?" I suggested. She had thought about it, but initially felt guilty for not reading from the beginning.
Ladies, why do we do that to ourselves?
As women, we have so many voices in our head. We are constantly putting pressure on ourselves to do better, do more, not fall short, catch up...even when it comes to our quiet time. Heaven forbid we get behind in a bible study! When we do, we are even tempted to quit doing it altogether because it's become this insurmountable task-just one more thing we have to do.
First fruits is a term used in the Bible, often used in the context of money and tithing. God wants our first fruits. Not because he needs our money, but because he wants our heart.
But what about the first fruits of our time?
Oh boy... that one hits home for this busy mama.
God doesn't want our leftovers and that includes our time. He wants the first fruits. He doesn't want the scraps after everything else is done at the end of the day or when I can "fit" Him in. How many times have I said "I haven't had time to read my Bible". Funny, I've had time to go shopping, text friends or surf the web. I've wasted hours on social media or in front of the television, but haven't had time to read my bible? How many times do I let the day come at me or allow "the urgent" (as in laundry, demands of my kids or household responsibilities) take the place of what is most important?
Years ago, my hubby and I met with our pastor for some counseling. Our marriage was in a rocky place. You don't have to spend much time around me to know that I am a fan of Christian counseling or a third party neutral perspective at times...especially when it comes to two strong willed people in a marriage, like mine. During this particular counseling session, my pastor asked me if I was spending daily time in God's word. My response was No. I was a young overwhelmed mother and I quickly rationalized my answer away. Our pastor then asked my husband if he was in God's word. His response was "Yes, I read the Daily Bread." For those that don't know, the Daily Bread is a quick little 5 minute read with a scripture to support the reading. I like the Daily Bread. But it's more of a supplemental read.
When our pastor heard my husbands response, he asked "How is it changing you?" My hubby contemplated his answer and honestly replied "It's not". And there we have our problem. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pointing fingers. Remember, I wasn't having ANY quiet time, so who was I to knock my husband's choice? BUT, if our time with the Lord isn't changing us, molding us, and making us into a better version of who we are, that's a problem. A big one. When we read our Bibles out of obligation and it becomes one more thing for us to check off of our list, without allowing God's word to permeate our hearts, the Devil laughs, God is grieved and we are deceived!
If my greatest aspiration in life is to shine bright for Jesus, I have to spend intentional time in His presence and fill my heart with his word. It's the overflow that is going to spill over onto others. But how will there by any overflow when I'm not allowing Him to pour into my heart?
Lately life has just been moving fast. Too many commitments and too many balls in the air. I've just been waiting for one to a drop. A constant tinge of anxiousness has filled my heart. Selfishness and impatience has crept back in. This is not the way I want to live life. I'm not me when I haven't spent time with the Lord. Slow down and be present. This was one of the first lesson's God taught me after Sawyer went home. How quickly, I let old ways easily sneak back in. Why is it that I have to continue to relearn the same lessons?
I could very easily let discouragement and defeat settle in.
In another season, things won't be so busy and I will have more time with the Lord. Next week, I will have more time. After this big event, life won't be so crazy. When family leaves in a couple of days, I can spend some quality time with Jesus. All of these are excuses I have used to rationalize giving Jesus my sloppy seconds. Allowing myself to believe these thoughts means buying into the lie that the enemy wants me to believe--that it's just the way this busy life goes.
The good news is, it's never too late to start again. Instead of being discouraged that I have yet again, slipped back into my old ways of being so task-oriented that I am giving Jesus my leftovers. I am going to pick myself back up, dust myself off, and fill my soul with the goodness of the Savior.

State of Wisconsin Investment Board Poised to Be First U.S. Pension Plan to Issue Debt
By David G. Barry
The State of Wisconsin Investment Board (WSIB) has been given the green light to potentially be the first U.S. pension plan to issue debt.
Seeking alternative ways to implement leverage, WSIB has received acknowledgement from Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul that issuing debt is consistent with a 2008 ruling related to its ability to manage money and property in a prudent manner.
An independent agency, WSIB manages the Core Retirement Trust and the Variable Retirement Trust. It ended 2021 with $147 billion in assets, with $136 billion in the Core fund. The Variable fund is subject to another statute, which limits it to investing in equities.
In his ruling, Kaul said that consistent with the 2008 opinion, "WSIB's broad management authority would apply equally to debt issuance as a management strategy for the Core fund" and as a result, "WSIB would have the statuary authority to issue debt as part of its Core fund management authority if the statutory 'prudent person' standard is met."
In a letter to Kaul in December, WSIB's chief legal counsel, Sara Chandler, said WSIB believed it had the authority to issue debt but that it wanted the AG's opinion in order to demonstrate to debt purchasers that it had the statuary right to do so.
WSIB, according to Chandler's missive, would use debt as another option of its leverage program.
Since 2012, WSIB has used leverage as a means of increasing returns and decreasing risk. Leverage, it said, provides an opportunity to increase the diversification of the Core fund by reducing its concentration. That, in turn, reduces risk.
WSIB has had the authority to leverage its fund up to 15%, meaning it invests $115 for every $100 of cash on hand. To date, it has done so by investing in financial instruments that can be bought without full payment being required at the time of purchase and using securities it has as collateral for other investments.
The agency has not previously sought to issue debt because its other methods have generated "enhanced returns" and it did not have "express authority" to do so, according to Chandler's letter.
But wanting "flexibility to adapt to ever-changing market dynamics," it sought the AG's approval.
If WSIB does indeed issue debt, it would not be the first pension fund. The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments), the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan all do so. WSIB, however, said it is not aware of any U.S. public pension funds having done so.
A key reason is most are not fully funded – WSIB is one of the few that is. As a result, it assumes that its debt would be rated AA or above – like what the Canadian pension funds' debt is rated.
Kahn's ruling does not mean that WSIB can immediately issue debt. Its program would still need approval from the WSIB Board of Trustees to be implemented.


The talk gives an overview over the activities of the Nanoelectronics Group at the University of Oslo. The group specializes in application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design, in particular in minimal form factor and low-power sensor interfaces and telemetry circuits, often employing non-classical design approaches, e.g. neuromorphic circuits and time-domain analogue signal representation. It contributes this expertise to two strategic research initiatives at the department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences that are investigating two of the most exciting research challenges left to humankind: Space- and Brain Research. These two initiatives and a number of projects therein will briefly be introduced in this presentation.
Philipp Häfliger received the M.Sc. degree in computer science (with astronomy as a second subject) from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zürich, Switzerland, and the PhD degree from the Institute of Neuroinformatics at ETH in 1995 and 2000, respectively. He then moved for a postdoctoral position to the Nanoelectronics Group at the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo, Norway, where he has now advanced to Associate Professor and Section Leader. In Oslo, his research focus shifted gradually from neuromorphic (inspired by the nervous system) electronics towards ultra-low-power ASIC design for biomedical devices, in particular wireless microimplants, and more recently for micro-probes for space research. Dr. Häfliger has been Chairman of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society's Biomedical and Life Science CAS (BioCAS) Technical Committee (2010–2012), and has served and still serves in various functions for the IEEE ISCAS and IEEE BioCAS conferences, and as associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on BioCAS.

Ideas for choosing a cool home-style decor, especially when viewed from the top corner!
Having a home built on the ground itself is fun, it is more privacy and comfort. If you have a home in a fairly large area, we have an interesting idea for you to see. Be inspired.
Decorating the backyard. Usually the back of the house is a kitchen, so most of us like ignoring this part. The backyard looks empty and quite boring.
Actually, the backyard of the house can be very interesting. Can be a place of rest, play, gardening or socializing. Below we present some of the most beautiful backdrops for you to see.
