My trip to China was a challenge. I had to schedule my trip to follow the new 72-hour Visa-Free Transit process; I didn't have time to go through the normal visa process. I am pleased to report that my visit to Beijing worked out well, but it was more complicated than I thought it would be. I share my notes here for my records and perhaps the benefit of others.
My host gave me 3 weeks to plan my travel, but I was already scheduled for two other overseas trips so I couldn't put my passport through the normal (or even expedited) visa process. So my host suggested that I travel on the 72-hour Visa-Free Transit visit process. I had never heard of this and was skeptical (if not a little reluctant).
The 72-hour Visa-Free Transit rules say that you need a travel itinerary where your departure time is less than 72 hours after the time your inbound flight is scheduled to land. AND, you need to be heading to a different country from which you came. I booked a flight from Chicago to Beijing that landed Monday afternoon. Then I booked a return flight to Tokyo to leave Thursday morning. My Tokyo flight had a 3 hour layover for me to connect with a flight back to Chicago.
BTW, there's lots more rules: you cannot leave Beijing, you have to be from one of the approved countries, and more. Please don't go by what I say here, go research this yourself.
This worked. But I had to go through several document checks, with each step adding some doubt and uncertainty.
When I started the trip, my airline required me to show my China visa at the ticket counter before they would give me a boarding pass. Not surprisingly, everyone in line ahead of me had a visa. When I got to the head of the line, the poor agent had no idea what I was trying to do. He said "… you have to have a visa to get a boarding pass." So I pulled out a print-out of an FAQ from the Chinese Embassy that explained the 72-hour Visa-Free Transit policy; I pulled out a TripAdvisor.com posting, and I pulled out a print-out of a travel blogger's experiences (including photos). I showed all of this to the agent and only a brief 5 minutes later he gave me a boarding pass.
I thought that once I got a boarding pass, I was set. But no. At the boarding gate there's a roped-off line with a sign saying secondary document checks. I was the first in line. I gave them my visa-less passport, my itinerary, and print-outs from several web pages. The first agent I saw, she didn't know what to do; she took all my papers then said she was calling her supervisor. Well he came, and didn't know what to do; they both consulted with someone else. They asked me to sit down; they'd get back to me. Well finally a ticket agenda who knew how to read Chinese came to the gate and she knew what to do right away. They stamped my boarding pass and let me on. This was more drama than I wanted, but understandable.
After my long 13 hour flight, with some anxiety I got off my plane at Terminal 3 at the Beijing airport. After a short walk I get to the immigration area. Much to my delight there were two lines dedicated to 72-hour Visa-Free Transit visitors. I went to one of the lines and it was closed?! I politely asked and an immigration agent pointed and said "Foreigner." This meant I should get into one of the 6 or so lines with a big title of foreigner over the agent's station.
I got into one of the lines. It was long but it moved fast. Clearly everyone in front of me had a visa. Gulp, was my immigration agent going to know what to do? I gave him my passport, my itinerary, and I said "72-hour Visa-Free Transit ." He apparently knew what I was talking about. He called over one of his associates and they directed me to a separate desk where my travel itinerary was checked. The agent took out a special, big-ish stamp, stamped my passport, and let me pass. Overall, very smooth. Yeah!!
Once I got passed immigration, there was a big back-lit poster celebrating the 72 hour transit visa — implying a welcome for all of us visitors entering under the new process. Thanks, I am glad to be here, so it was OK.
I landed in Beijing on a Monday afternoon; I left on a Thursday AM flight. Exiting China at the Beijing airport was very smooth. My passport and boarding pass were briefly checked, stamped and then I went through security, very much, like normal.
I was surprised by the reaction of my host. I got some adventure-traveler bonus points from the him and other members of the local team because I was willing to try the new process, but in retrospect it wasn't that hard and hopefully my story can help others.
In summary, make sure you have a printed copy of your travel itinerary, and make sure your departure is to a different country from where you came, and make sure your departure time is less than 72-hours from your landing time, and read the FAQs for all the details of the rules.
Background on my evening Tiananmen Square Walk: My short visit to Beijing was almost over, my meetings were completed, and I had a short 60 minutes to do some sight seeing. My host had to leave for Shanghai, and I was left with our nice to driver, who agreed to drop me off at Tiananmen Square for one hour. I was looking forward to this!
The traffic along Chang'an Avenue was really heavy and he couldn't park close, so he found a section of the street two blocks away where he waited for me. With a finger pointing to the square, he set me off on a solo walk.
I started east walking by the architecturally unique National Centre for the Performing Arts (really beautiful!), I then followed along Chang'an Ave passed the Great Hall of the People and reached the north west corner of the square. I saw the Tiananmen Gate, the iconic entry way to the Forbidden City, with the picture of Chairman Mao on it… this is one of the most common images you see in tourists pictures.
Tiananmen Square is physically across Chang'an Ave, south from the Gate. The plaza area is fenced on all sides, and if you look at the pin on Google Maps, it's right at the entry I went through. The entry is a guard station that scans all packages and backpacks. I was waived-through no problem. Overseas tourist types like me, while not common, looked welcome. I would say most of the visitors to the square were citizens of China from other parts of the country (lots of tour buses).
While at the square I briefly walked by The National Museum of China, Mausoleum of Mao Zedong, Monument to the People's Heroes, and very popular flag pole. I got there right at sunset and 100s of people were gathered around the flag pole as the soldiers, in a very solemn ceremony, lowered the flag, right at sunset.
When the flag was lowered, the Tiananmen Gate lights were turned on. It looked really nice! A couple of people from a university came up to me, in excellent English welcomed me to China, asked me where I was from and with pride shared some of China's history with me. Very memorable.
But it was time to go. I didn't want to keep my driver waiting. I haven't been to China in over 8 years and it was very nice to be back. I had a really nice Tiananmen Square Walk.
As business travelers who go to the Dongcheng or Xicheng Districts in the city center know, during rush hour, the Chang'an Ave is 10 lanes of very, very slow traffic. After my brief walk through Tiananmen square my driver had to drive 3 miles to my hotel. It took over 40 minutes. This is Beijing — get used to it. The last time I was in town, my host had me use the subway — probably a good idea for next time.
There's so much more to see in this area. I didn't have time to go into the Forbidden City. There's some really nice outdoor shopping bizaars nearby, and the museums are beautiful, but not this trip. Maybe some other time.


The value of the XpTotal tag of a player which is used as value for scoreboard objectives of the criteria type xp and the query result of the /xp command when giving experience (not levels) does not account for level changes.
It is basically the number of experience the player has collected. It only resets to 0 when the player would have a negative experience level.
The tag XpTotal (field net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer.experienceTotal) is only increased by the method net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer.addExperience(int) and additionally never decreased.


2 new birdwatching friends asked me out to their fields near Inbanuma, Narita-shi, Chiba and we had a wonderful few hours out on the paddyfields.
A small flock of Lapwings (Tageriタゲリ) was foraging on the ploughed paddyfields.
Lapwings flying, a Grey Starling (Mukudoriムクドリ) posing on the pole, three Water Pipits (Tahibariタヒバリ) sitting on the wire.
5 Pacific Golden Plovers (Munaguroムナグロ) were foraging on the same paddyfield where the Lapwings had been. They looked like juveniles but one of them had a beautiful golden tint on its back.
Hundreds of Oriental Greenfinches (Kawarahiwaカワラヒワ) were on the wires and on the fields.
Some were even singing just like they'd do in spring!
Water Pipits were everwhere, so were Skylarks (no photo).
On the way back to the station, we stopped by the lake (Inbanuma) to see if there were ducks on it and there they were! There were not only ducks but some Great Crested Grebes and Black-necked (or Slavonian?) Grebes as well.
And Cormorants (Kawauカワウ) were drying themselves over the water.
The ducks behind the cormorants were probably Greater Scaups but I'm not 100% sure.
Other interesting sightings: Common Snipes, Grey Herons, Dusky Thrushes, Bull-headed Shrikes, Japanese & White Wagtails, Meadow Buntings, Eastern Marsh Harriers, Buzzards, Black-eared Kites, an Osprey fishing!, and thousands of Tree Sparrows.

NAMM 2019: Nexi Industries and Skunk Anansie's Ace team up on two analogue pedals
Introducing the Skunkdrive and Octavius.
By Daniel Ong
The Nexi Industries Octavius (left) and Skunkdrive (right)
Nexi Industries has joined forces with Skunk Anansie's Ace on a special project: two analogue stompboxes voiced for British rock tones. The collaboration yielded a dirt box – aptly named the Skunkdrive – and an octave pedal, the Octavius.
Both pedals come with appointments tuned to Ace's liking. The Skunkdrive is a high-gain drive box that produces a tone reminiscent of driven amps from the 70s and 80s. The Octavius, as its name suggests, is an octave pedal that has octave (up and down) modulation effects. It also has a wet/dry mix control that allows you to set the right amount of octave effect.
Elsewhere, the two pedals boast hybrid designs: they can be powered via a nine-volt battery, an external power supply or Nexi's own pedalboard. With the latter, pedals are immediately powered once they are placed in the allocated groove.
Retails at $99.95 each. More information at nexi-industries.com.

Q: index.html in aws s3 displaying raw text The same index.html on laptop shows the web page correctly. aws is showing the text as is, as shown below, without rendering. Following S3 static web site hosting steps. FYI.

<title>Testing, Inc.</title>

Welcome!

Welcome to my first webpage. I am writing this page using a text editor and plain old html.

By learning html, I'll be able to create web pages like a pro....

which I am of course.

Here's what I've learned:

How to use HTML tags

How to use HTML colors

How to create Lists

Appreciate your help.

A: If the file's extension is not html/htm or there is no extension on the file, it will set Meta Data / Content-Type to application/octet-stream, you can update it to text/html and it will work.

A: For Future if anyone is reading this, if your code is not being rendered and your using windows.
In the folder that you saved your text file go to "view" then "options" click "Change folder and search options".
Then click on the "View" tab and UNCHECK "Hide extensions for know file types".

A: Thank you seartun and Adrian Mole.
Both contritrubted to my issue the root issue is that AWS doesnt register the file as an HTML document. I use a mac, i was using word to save my file with an HTML extension, even though it was an HTML document and AWS metadata stated it was html/text, it was still not rendering properly.
Solution for me was to use a text editor application to save my file rather than word, I used submlime text exit, and re-upload forcing the metadata to Text/HTML

YS Falls is located in YS Estate in a carefully managed ecosystem 50 miles east of Negril and 50 miles south west of Montego Bay in the 'breadbasket' parish of St. Elizabeth. YS Estate was originally a sugar cane farm with a factory. YS Estate was also a supplier of logwood for export to Europe. The heart of the logwood tree was used for the purpose of making dye.
By 1887 the property had changed hands many times and was the official property of the Encumbered Estates Court in London. At the time Great Grand Uncle John Browne of the present owner, Tony Browne, had traveled from London to purchase a property in St. Ann. However upon arrival in London, that property had been sold. John Browne wanting a property with a river running through it bought YS Estate, sight unseen. Simon Browne, youngest son of Tony Browne, opened YS in 1992 to the public, living out his lifelong wish. However, Simon Browne only wanted to admit 25 persons a day, but the popularity of YS Falls exceeded that. So Simon monitored the number of visitors to ensure that the natural beauty of YS was not destroyed by inquisitive feet.
Your tour starts with a ride through Jamaica's countryside and upon arrival you will be driven by a tractor to the falls. The fall is 120 feet and flows over seven levels. Steps are erected by the side so visitors can view the falls without getting wet. There are seven river pools on property where you can just wade or swim if you do not wish to climb the falls. For more information about this tour please visit our YS Falls Adventure Tour page.
On our Appleton Estate Tour you will get a chance to experience up close how Jamaica's legendary Appleton Estate rum has been proudly made since 1749. During this tour you will gain historical knowledge while witnessing rum production at the distillery. After you tour the manufacturing and bottling process, and learn about rum making, you can taste complimentary samples of cane juice, high wine, and all of the flavorful rums they produce. End the day with lunch and unlimited tasting of Appleton's most famous products. The tour can be scheduled Monday through Saturday. However, the Appleton Estate Rum Factory is closed on Sunday. You can learn more on our Appleton Estate Rum Factory Tour page.
Black River is the capital of the parish of St. Elizabeth on Jamaica's south coast and is a very popular haven for ecological tours owing to the vast swamplands and rivers which flow through the area. Discover the beauty of the hidden side of Jamaica by exploring the natural wonders and pristine white sandy beaches.
Once you reach Black River your tour starts with a 1 1/2 hour motor boat tour, exploring Jamaica's largest navigable river and through what is Jamaica's largest wetland area, the Black River lower morass. This educational boat ride includes frequent sightings of wild animals. Learn all about the river's history and wildlife and watch as your boat captain hand feeds the river's alligators! If you are a nature lover, this is the perfect trip for you.
Following the boat tour, we will go to Floyd's Pelican Bar, a local fisherman's dream to get away with his friends for some relaxation after a hard day of fishing. Floyd's Pelican bar is located on a shoal three quarters of a mile out at sea, off the shore of Parottee Bay. This is the ultimate spot to hang out with a cold Red Stripe beer or your favorite Jamaican drink, have a seafood lunch, go snorkeling or simply just take in the stunning 360 degree panoramic view. We suggest that visitors bring a sharp object or a dark marker so you can carve your name wherever you find a space on the bar to do so – yes it's allowed! Enjoy the ride as you pass seaside homes, guesthouses and miles of sun-drenched beachfront along the way. For more information about this tour please visit our Black River Safari and Pelican Bar Tour page.

Now Rumsfeld himself has said it. Our troops are not in Iraq to prevent a civil war.
"The plan is to prevent a civil war," Mr. Rumsfeld said, "and to the extent one were to occur, to have the — from a security standpoint — have the Iraqi security forces deal with it to the extent they're able to."
Mr. Rumsfeld said Iraqi forces "at least thus far" have been able to deal with security problems "for the most part," and that the real foundation for stability is a government that will unify the country — the kind of government that is still a new concept for the people.
As a result they "sorta" have prevented catastrophe "at least for now" and "maybe" will make Iraq "not the worst place on Earth."
By the way, what exactly is the line between "sectarian violence" and "civil war"? Does civil war require religious militias to directly engage each other in house to house fighting? Is it "sectarian violence " when the bodies are found later and filmed by reporters and "war" when we get actual combat footage?

Motorcyclist suffered life-threatening injuries in t-bone crash in northwest Lubbock
Police say Kyle Farris failed to yeild to SUV
Motorcyclist suffers life-threatening injuries
A 27-year-old motorcyclist involved in a T-bone crash was listed in critical condition at University Medical Center on Thursday, Aug. 22, according to hospital spokesman Eric Finley.
Kyle Andrew Farris was taken to UMC for life-threatening injuries Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 21, following a two-vehicle collision in Northwest Lubbock.
Farris was riding his motorcycle northbound about 3:50 p.m. in the 2300 block of Frankford Avenue in front of Annette Barnes Turner, 74, who was driving a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer, according to a Lubbock Police Department report.
Farris veered onto the right shoulder, slowed down to make a U-turn and pulled in front of Turner, who struck the motorcycle, according to the report. Police believe Farris failed to yield to Turner, who had the right of way.
Turner was also taken to UMC for minor injuries, according to the report.


Wood projects are forms of art. But more than art, wood working plans are great aids for DIY furniture pieces. Finally, you can save money while doing something you love—wood working. It will be great that after your hard work, you can finally see a legacy of your skills and creativity.
Following wood working plans is not always easy and cheap, especially if you are a beginner. A simple table can cost more than what you will pay for a ready-to-go table. Making this one can take up too much of your time, too. It would be better if you can at least finish the project. But the first wood projects are usually left unfinished. What's the problem?
Maybe the skills? If you are inexperienced, the first wood projects will usually end up as trial projects. Many experts will never expect a beginner to finish a simple project. It should not be the case because in reality, the skill is not the problem.
The real problem is the incomprehensive and incomplete wood working plans that most beginners use. If you only have easy-to-follow, step-by-step wood working plans, then you can easily and successfully finish wood projects without the nasty and expensive trials and errors.
What Complete Wood Working Plans Should Have?
Many wood projects online are incomplete because they are simply wood working plans that were never tested. A lot of woodworkers have encountered incomplete wood projects online. Worse, many of them have followed these wood projects and discovered that they are incomplete only when it was too late. They have already invested money and time for the wood working plans. The only thing left to do is recycle the woods for other wood projects. Hopefully, they can still use those woods because sometimes, those woods go to waste.
• Step-by-step instruction. It may seem sometimes that finishing up the table top is the first logical step. But most of the times, there are still more steps needed to do first before that. The step-by-step instruction will teach you what should be the first thing to do to finish the wood projects. So, you won't have to spend unnecessary amounts of time and money.
• Pictures. It will be boring to follow wood projects with their text-only instructions. Besides being boring, it will never be comprehensible enough. Step-by-step instructions like wood projects should have their accompanied photos. These photos will describe more accurately what to do.
• Blueprint. Do you know how engineers are able to build big buildings? It's because they have blueprints. This is their comprehensive guide for building things. For wood workers, they should also have the blueprint for wood working plans. Same as in engineering, the plans should have the measurements, materials, and other details necessary to complete wood projects.
• Materials needed. Recipes list down the needed ingredients before giving the cooking procedures. Many of the wood working plans online will only give you the blueprint. But materials? They will let you decide what materials are needed to complete the wood projects. Complete wood working plans should have the complete materials needed to complete the wood projects. This way, you are sure that you will not be spending for unneeded or wrong materials.
Look for these when looking for wood projects to start with. It will be costly to start the wood working plans without all of these.
Start with the simplest wood working plans and wood projects like tables, toy chests, chairs, and ladders. When you're ready, you can start with more difficult wood projects like a boat, dresser, and even a small dog house.
It may be tempting to start with your dream furniture. But if it's too difficult for you, then consider work on that only after a few practice projects.
You don't need practice to work on the most challenging wood projects if you can find the easiest and most accurate wood working plans like the Ted's Woodworking. It's the number one woodworking resource and the choice of expert wood workers. With over 16,000 wood working plans, this is the most comprehensive collection of wood projects.

A: You can use unload event in jQuery like:
$( window ).unload(function() {
  console.log( "Bye now!" );
});

The unload event occurs when the user navigates away from the page.
The unload event is triggered when:
a link to leave the page is clicked
a new URL is typed in the address bar
the forward or back buttons are used
the browser window is closed
the page is reloaded
The unload() method specifies what happens when a unload event occurs.
The unload() method should only be used on the window object.
Note: The unload event might work differently in different browsers. Be sure to test this method in all browsers, before use.
If you wish jQuery unload event only for close window not for Link navigation refer: jQuery unload event only for close window not for Link navigation

Update
Please try:
$(window).on('beforeunload ',function() {
    return 'Are you sure ?';
});

Source: window.onunload is not working properly in Chrome browser. Can any one help me?

A: Here is Simple solution Please try once it will work.

Hi Five

"Looking back on the year, our resilient business model has enabled us to operate through challenging market and trading conditions in our bus and rail businesses. If not for some one-off costs in regional bus, we would have seen profit growth, rather than the consistent performance delivered year on year. In London bus, we saw profit in what is a highly competitive market. While it was disappointing to be unsuccessful in our bid to retain London Midland, progress in our international strategy will see some of the lost revenue from the franchise replaced with contracts in the targeted markets of Singapore bus, Dublin bus and German rail.
"The UK rail network is one of the busiest in the world, with the number of annual passenger journeys more than doubling since privatisation in the 1990s. That is why significant investment is being made in infrastructure improvement projects, such as the Thameslink Programme, which we are delivering through Southeastern and GTR, to ensure network capacity grows and reliability improves. Unfortunately, as with any large-scale improvement programme, some disruption is inevitable before the long term benefits to improve the daily journeys of hundreds of thousands of people are delivered.
"We apologise to our Southern passengers who have been inconvenienced for many months by disruption caused by industrial relations issues. Service levels are beginning to improve but there is still a lot of work to be done to provide the level of service we and our customers expect. Our primary aim is to improve the experience for our passengers and we are resolute in this commitment.
"Go-Ahead's regional bus operation received the highest levels of customer satisfaction in the sector, up to 90% in the latest survey and exceeding the levels of satisfaction achieved by some of Britain's best-loved brands. Our local bus businesses are focused on improving customer experience, including making it easier to pay for travel. During the year, the latest contactless technology was introduced across a number of our operations. We plan for contactless payments to be available to every Go-Ahead bus customer by the end of the year.
"Our international development strategy is progressing well and, with five contracts won in three new markets, today we announce a target of 15% to 20% of Group profit to be generated from international operations within five years. We will continue to bid in markets that match our investment criteria, and where we can use our skills and experience to improve local transport services. In addition, we're looking at opportunities that address future transport needs, complementing our existing operations and utilising our expertise and assets. This includes deploying our spare depot capacity in new ways and delivering new services for our customers.
"As one of the UK's largest providers of public transport, Go-Ahead plays a vital role in building a thriving economy and connecting communities. By providing essential bus and rail services, we help people connect with each other and get where they want to go. We believe in creating shared value for our many stakeholders. We strive to deliver high quality services for our customers and sustainable returns for our shareholders. Our 29,000 employees, who are at the heart of the communities we serve, are key to our success and we believe in taking care of them. Effective partnership working is vital to delivering efficient transport systems; we work closely with key strategic partners to deliver improvement and change.
Regional bus trading in the early part of the year has been consistent with the fourth quarter of the prior year. We expect a slight improvement in performance as one-off costs in 2016/17 no longer impact results.
The London bus business has secured almost all its revenue for the coming year. However, increased competitive pressure has resulted in some recent contract losses which will have a slight impact on performance in 2017/18. This position is expected to improve when the market stabilises.
In rail, having been unsuccessful in the bid to retain the London Midland contract, the franchise will end on 10 December 2017 reducing profitability in 2017/18. The slowdown in the rate of growth in Southeastern passenger revenue is expected to continue as economic conditions impact customers' travel patterns. This also reduces our expectations of rail division profitability for the current financial year.
As previously announced, discussions between GTR and the DfT about service changes and rolling stock cascades are ongoing. The outcomes of these discussions, relating to events up to 1 July 2017, is that the impact on rail profitability is likely to be within a range of plus or minus £5m. In addition, we now expect margins over the life of the GTR contract to be between 0.75% and 1.5%.
Internationally, we will be working towards our target of generating 15% to 20% of Group profit from operations outside the UK within five years.
David Brown, Group Chief Executive and Patrick Butcher, Group Chief Financial Officer will be hosting a presentation for investors and analysts at 9.00am today at Investec, 2 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7QP.
A live audio webcast of the presentation will be available on Go-Ahead's website – www.go-ahead.com. The presentation slides will be added to Go-Ahead's website www.go-ahead.com at around 7:30am today.

SungardSCT begins biggest regional rollout
SungardSCT has begun the rollout of a project at the University of Sharjah (UoS) - its largest project in the region since establishing a UAE office in 2003.
By Andy Tillett Published August 11, 2005
Sungard Systems and Computer Technologies (SCT) has begun the rollout of a project at the University of Sharjah (UoS) - its largest project in the region since establishing a UAE office in 2003. The e-education software solution vendor will replacing existing systems for administration, web content presentation and student and graduate tracking across the campus' ten buildings. "The University of Sharjah is very serious about having an e-university, and it is really trying to drive the strategy and direction of the university with the latest technology. It has a whole series of new investments planned for its campus, and is bringing in new teaching areas around the medical trade," said Matthew Boice, general manager, marketing and channel sales EMEA at Sungard SCT. "The university is building three new colleges and the subsequent phase of the project will be to construct a teaching hospital on campus," he added. The 18-month project will involve the installation of the Banner and Luminus suites offered by Sungard SCT. Approximately 15 Sungard SCT staff, gathered from both North America and Dubai will install the system. Leading the project for the vendor will be project director Tony Roach and project manager Helen Thomas. Sungard SCT is one of the few vendors in the Middle East that undertakes the full implementation of its solutions. The UoS rollout is the sixth project undertaken by the vendor in the UAE. "We are expected to finish at the end of 2006, which is quite a pace for a project of this size. The interesting thing about this particular solution is that the university is a very well run and organised operation. Often the start point for these projects is with faculties that have some inherent issues they wish to sort out in their operation. That isn't true with this project and the UoS already has world class facilities and networks," said Boice. The software will be supplied in both English and Arabic versions. The Arabic speaking modules developed by Egyptian company ITSoft, alongside Sungard SCT, at the latter's competency centre in Cairo. These modules have the capability to be localised through the introduction of project specific and local vocabulary and terminology by the users themselves. "The vision of the University of Sharjah is to become a leading academic institution in the Middle East, and a world-recognised university, by meeting our students' educational and cultural needs in a manner consistent with Islamic values and traditions," said Professor Ismail Al Bishri, Chancellor at UoS. The Sungard SCT Banner software is an internet-based administration solution for a wide-range of university processes, including student services, human resources, advancement and finance. The SCT Luminis software works alongside the Banner application to provide a web portal, enterprise application, collaboration, data integration, and web content management functionality.

HCM City's District 3: 18th coolest neighbourhood in the world
October 13, 2019 by vietnamnews.vn
Yoko Cafe organises open-mic nights and musical performances almost every day. VNS Photo Việt Dũng by Việt Dũng UK-based entertainment magazine Time Out has ranked District 3 in HCM City as 18th on a list of the world's 50 coolest neighbourhoods. As one of the city's 24 districts, District 3 is "a buzzing but less well-trodden neighbourhood where exciting new developments coexist with a sense of history", the magazine says. The article drew attention to the area's "colonial-era churches and villas alongside Buddhist pagodas" and live music mainstays. As part of Time Out's survey, around 27,000 city dwellers from around the world were asked for their opinions on their hometown's neighbourhoods. Time Out editors and contributing writers were also consulted. The Arroios area of Lisbon in Portugal was ranked the coolest place followed by Shimokitazawa in Tokyo, Japan. People who typically hang out in District 3 say they are not surprised that the area was regarded so highly by Time Out. Sean Devereux, an expat teacher, says the appeal of District 3 is about getting lost and seeing what you can find. For Sydney Crain, an English teacher who has been living in the district for three weeks, it's the abundance of good food and restaurants that stands out. The district's inclusion on the list "does not surprise me. It is very cool… Read full this story

ARCHIVE PHOTO: La Canada Flintridge council members will consider a revised anti-smoking law that would regular smoking in outdoor public areas, including parks and shopping centers.
On Monday night, the La Cañada Flintridge City Council will consider a proposal that bans smoking around shopping areas, outdoor dining areas and nature trails.
A state law prohibits smoking in most enclosed public places, including places of employment, but the city can regulate smoking in other areas.
The city's Youth Council is recommending that council members approve changes to the current ordinance, which would further limit the public outdoor areas where people can smoke in La Cañada. Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, would not be included in the ban.
Under the proposal, smoking would be prohibited at or within 20 feet of outdoor dining areas, public parks and trails, all city-owned property, common areas of shopping centers and public events. Nearby cities such as Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena have enacted similar bans.
But smokers would still have places to congregate: the proposal calls for "smoking outposts" to be set up at shopping centers and public events.
Also on the agenda for Monday's City Council meeting is a resolution establishing street sweeping parking restrictions on Hilldale Drive the first and second Friday of each month between 8 and 11 a.m. and a discussion to name the recently renovated Southern California Edison plot of land on Foothill Boulevard that connect to city trails.
It looks like the city will also finally adopt its protected tree ordinance, which would preserve deodar cedars in some neighborhoods, but remove California peppers and Chinese elms from city protection.
City Hall is located at 1327 Foothill Blvd. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

Over 10-year-old autos to go off roads in Gurugram
GURUGRAM: In a major decision to curtail vehicular pollution, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today banned the plying of auto-rickshaws older than 10 years since their registration in Gurugram district.

Gurugram, July 13
In a major decision to curtail vehicular pollution, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today banned the plying of auto-rickshaws older than 10 years since their registration in Gurugram district. He was addressing a grievance redressal committee meeting in the city.
Khattar said that all auto-rickshaws older than 10 years shall be impounded. He emphasised the need of a regulated and safe public transport system and said that the Secretary, Regional Transport Authority, and the Gurugram traffic police would jointly prepare a policy for auto-rickshaws plying illegally without registration and carrying passengers more than the specified limit.
The Chief Minister said that all auto-rickshaws should soon have fare meters installed and Police Commissioner Mohammad Akil should oversee the work. The issue of illegal auto-rickshaws plying on roads was taken up as one of the complaints in the meeting. The Secretary, RTA-cum-ADC, Mohammad Imran Raza, claimed that the Transport Department had issued a notification for metering of the auto-rickshaws on May 30 and a tender would soon be invited.
"The RTA office has challaned 145 auto-rickshaws and impounded 50 more than 10-year-old auto-rickshaws. Besides, 5,166 auto-rickshaws have been challaned for not having the pollution under control certificate and more than 2.46 lakh challans have been issued for carrying passengers above capacity," said Raza.

FIVE Palm Jumeirah Dubai, the hottest hotel on Palm Jumeirah, is the latest independent hotel to join Amistad Partners, a premier ****** hotel representation company. The lifestyle hotel, described by Arabian Business magazine as having "the swankiest rooftop lounge in Dubai", offers a unique hospitality experience.
Set on the renowned Palm Jumeirah island against a breath-taking backdrop of the sea, beach and Dubai skyline, FIVE Palm Jumeirah is a dare-to-be-different hotel that captures the glamour and vibe of the remarkable city.
"FIVE Palm Jumeirah is a lifestyle hotel like no other. Our beautifully designed beach front property features 468 well-appointed rooms and suites, as well as a wide range of MICE and dining options, making it the ideal choice for both business and leisure travellers. We look forward to working with Amistad Partners to expand our offering across a wider network and welcoming guests to experience our unique hospitality offering," says Jaydeep Anand, COO FIVE Hotels and Resorts.
This year, 56 percent of hotel bookings are being driven by online travel agencies (OTAs) while 24 percent are wholesale, 15 percent through direct bookings and 5 percent through corporate and MICE bookings. This doesn't come as a surprise, given the strong growth in the number and frequency of customers using OTAs. However, low margins mean that independent hotels don't gain much in revenue from OTAs. Luckily, there are plenty of other ways to secure direct bookings, which will lead to revenue growth.
FIVE Palm Jumeirah is an enviable getaway for some sun and sand, offering guests a choice of five pools including a 50-metre long social pool, two adult-only pools, a children's pool and a relaxing spa pool with hydrotherapy jet as well as a 100-metre private beach. With a wide variety of dining options including three signature restaurants, two clubs, a day spa and a 24-hour state-of-the-art gym, the resort has everything you need to help you relax during the day and dance away into the night.
Whether you are traveling for business or for pleasure, look no further than the FIVE Palm Jumeirah Dubai. To book a stay or plan your next event at the hotel, contact Zohaib Haider at Zohaib.Haider@amistadpartners.com or visit the website at www.amistadpartners.com.
Amistad Partners is a bold new hotel representation company that will deliver sales and marketing solutions to and be the voice for independent hotel groups. Our experience in hotel sales and marketing is second to none. For further details on joining Amistad Partners, contact us at join@amistadpartners.com.
FIVE Palm Jumeirah Dubai is a luxury lifestyle hotel that encapsulates all aspects of elegance.

It looks like a big, white bullet—and it will travel much faster. SpaceX, its maker, calls the ship Crew Dragon, and it sits 230 feet above the ground on a Falcon 9 rocket, waiting to lift off from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Before dawn on Saturday, if all goes well, Crew Dragon will leave for the International Space Station—one last test flight before it actually carries astronauts for the first time. No U.S. company has ever launched a space traveler into orbit in its own ship before. "It's great to get that feeling again of getting ready to go flying," said William Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for Human Exploration and Operations, after the final flight readiness review on February 22.
And so what, you say? No fewer than 109 spacecraft have launched from Pad 39A before, and most of them—starting with the Apollo lunar missions and then the space shuttles—were bigger, more powerful and built to take astronauts on more ambitious flights. They just happened to be government projects. "This is a modest step toward flying in space commercially, but you have to underline the word 'modest,'" says John Logsdon, professor emeritus of space policy at The George Washington University.
The immediate goal, as NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine puts it, is for "American astronauts to fly American spacecraft from American soil for the first time since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011"—significant because the U.S. has been reduced since then to renting seats for its astronauts on Russian Soyuz rockets. Assuming this first flight is successful, NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will fly the next Dragon mission in July.
Crew Dragon, 27 feet long and capable of carrying seven astronauts, will only carry about 400 pounds of cargo on this flight, designated Demo 1. It is scheduled to reach and dock with the space station on the day after launch, spending five days there before returning for a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean off the Florida coast.
It and its booster are meant to be reusable—a crucial aspect of SpaceX's cost-cutting business model, which treats the company's multimillion-dollar hardware as investments to be repeatedly reused, rather than as "single-serving" products flown once and then thrown away. The company has posted sensational video of its rockets routinely achieving what used to look like pure fantasy, flying back from space to land safely, tail-first, near their launch sites.
In the early days of the space age, when human spaceflight was part of cold war competition, the big risk-taker was NASA, sending astronauts on dangerous voyages to beat the Soviet Union to the moon. That was reflected in its spending; aerospace companies benefited from the largesse of so-called cost-plus government contracts —essentially guaranteeing they would make money even if they ran far over budget, because each mission was seen as vital to national security. Nobody really knew what space travel was supposed to cost anyhow. When legislators and taxpayers complained, someone always answered that the future of freedom was at stake.
But then Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, and with the space race "won," NASA struggled for a new direction. Suddenly all the risk-taking was harder to justify. Space vehicles were increasingly designed by committee in hope of making flights safer, but also making them less efficient. New technology, which might have brought costs down, was trumped by tried-and-true established technology. So, although NASA's space shuttles were intended as cost-cutters, flights remained insanely expensive—and they were still dangerous. The 1986 Challenger explosion brought the shuttle program to a two-year halt and the loss of Columbia in 2003 ultimately ended it.
The breakthrough, Anderson says, came quietly in 2009. It was not a technological advance or high-profile launch—it was a list. SpaceX published its prices for launching payloads. Now if a company wanted to launch a satellite, it knew how much money to raise, and could plan around it. Before that, he says there were a couple of dozen entrants willing to invest in new space ventures. Since then his firm has counted $18 billion invested by 412 companies.
It is still a tough business. SpaceX struggled for six years to loft its first payload into orbit, and suffered spectacular rocket failures in 2015 and 2016 that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. In January word got out that it was laying off 10 percent of its 6,000-person workforce—a necessary move, SpaceX said, for the "extraordinarily difficult challenges ahead." One is reminded of a cynical old joke: Anyone can make a small fortune in space—all you have to do is spend a large one.
What to do in space if the cost to get there is no longer insurmountable? Ideas (not necessarily involving astronauts) have—literally—taken off. SpaceIL, an Israeli nonprofit, just launched the world's first privately developed lunar lander on a SpaceX rocket. Earth-observing satellites, which have often been hulking objects placed in higher orbits passing over a given spot only once a day, are being replaced by lower-flying swarms of smaller, more agile satellites sending real-time readings. And so on.
The single-biggest driver of near-future demand for space business may be internet traffic, Cáceres says: In many cases it is cheaper to transmit data by satellite than over land. There have long been communications satellites in very high orbits, but there's a noticeable delay in transmitting signals up and back. In 2015 SpaceX announced plans for a broadband network called Starlink, with signals to be sent and received by a low-orbiting constellation of 11,943 satellites. Nobody blinked.
Of course, satellites are simpler and safer to fly than human beings; even Musk has said there is only a 70 percent chance he will someday retire on Mars. To date, governments remain the only entities launching humans into space. Will that change anytime soon?

Former BPC Housing Director Confirmed as HUD Deputy Secretary
Jordan LaPier
Associate Director of Media Relations
(202) 379-1630 [email protected] @jordanlapier
Washington, D.C.– The Bipartisan Policy Center congratulates Pam Patenaude on her confirmation by the Senate today as deputy secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
From 2011 to 2014, Patenaude served as the director of BPC's Housing Commission, a bipartisan 21-member panel that issued a landmark report outlining a new direction for federal housing policy. The commission was co-chaired by former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, former Sen. Kit Bond, former HUD Sec. Henry Cisneros, and former senator and HUD Sec. Mel Martinez. The commission offered a broad range of recommendations on affordable rental housing, sustainable homeownership, rural housing, and senior housing. Its recommendations for housing finance reform helped reignite congressional interest in reform and served as a foundation for legislation that was favorably reported out of the Senate Banking Committee.
"BPC created the Housing Commission to engage on some of the toughest issues facing Washington policymakers coming out of the financial crisis. Thanks to Pam's leadership, we were able to develop what many thought was impossible—a comprehensive bipartisan blueprint for reforming the GSE's and creating more affordable rental housing," said BPC President Jason Grumet. "Pam's broad housing expertise and ability to work across the aisle will be critical as Congress and the administration seek to improve the grave housing situation in our nation."
More than 11 million households spend in excess of 50 percent of their income on rent alone. A major driver of these high rent burdens is the acute shortage of affordable rental homes for the lowest-income families. The national homeownership rate has also declined significantly, with many potential first-time homebuyers shut out of the market.
As highlighted by BPC's Housing Commission, these challenges will likely intensify over the coming decade as a result of powerful demographic trends now underway.
Learn more about the 2013 Housing Commission report on BPC's website.

Rough Mix Issue #23: Blood, sweat, and songwriters
The Low Anthem, "Blood and Altar"
I don't know much about Providence, RI's The Low Anthem—I encountered them on a Paste Magazine sampler cd (remember those?) more than a decade ago, and downloaded a couple of their albums. The other day, though, I stumbled across this 2011 recording of "Blood and Altar," and it honestly gave me chills—it's a hauntingly beautiful song.
The Working Songwriter
I first discovered that singer-songwriter Joe Pug had a podcast when he interviewed my college classmate Josh Ritter some years back, and it has turned into one of my regular must-listens. It might be a little "inside baseball" if you're not a songwriter yourself, but chances are you'll learn a lot about the craft from the series of luminaries Pug has accumulated in his catalog.
"Prayers for Richard" by David Ramsey, Oxford American
I found out about this 2015 piece on the infamous Little Richard, who died earlier this month, through Aquarium Drunkard's newsletter. It is everything the best music writing should be—lyrical, personal but damn near universal, and cognizant of a legend's cultural impact without being overly reverent. If you have any interest in the roots of rock and roll, this is a must-read.
Rough Mix Issue #22: The Wild Onion
Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment, "Sunday Candy"
This week's newsletter turns out to be a bit of a love letter to my adopted hometown of Chicago, and this sweet little confection from Chance the Rapper and his collective of collaborators (including a killer hook sung by Jamila Woods) is a great place to start.
South Side Stories, "Arthur"
"South Side Stories" is a collaboration between Chicago's WBEZ and the creators of the Comedy Central show, South Side. In this episode, we meet pretty amazing character. Arthur Dubois is a retired 72-year-old with a brand-new career aspiration: to become a big-time trap producer.
"Chicago's Hidden Indie Rock Archive" by Monica Eng, WBEZ
I wasn't in Chicago for the glory days of its alternative rock scene, but Adam Jacobs (who became known as "The Taping Guy") was, and he has 10,000 live recordings to prove it. In a time where many of us are wondering what the future of live music venues are going to be, this is a truly fascinating glimpse into their past.
Rough Mix Issue #21: Swing Training
Casey Bill Weldon, "Guitar Swing"
I'm guessing we could all use a pick-me-up these days, and there's no way this little ditty by early slide guitar master Casey Bill Weldon won't have you tapping your foot or dancing around your kitchen. Fun fact: Weldon was married (at different times) to both the legendary Memphis Minnie and Geeshie Wiley, whose own mysterious recording was covered in a New York Times article I featured back in the fourth issue of this newsletter.
Radiolab, "Songs that Cross Borders"
Country music, for better or for worse, is often thought of as one of the most American of musical genres. However, in this episode of Radiolab, you'll hear how incredibly appealing it seems to be to people in places from the Caribbean to Zimbabwe to Thailand… and why. Plus, follow along on reporter Gregory Warner's Afghan accordion adventures.
"Ten Train Songs That Tell the Story of the South" by Scott Huffard, Bitter Southerner
Being stuck in the house all the time must have me thinking about traveling, and there aren't many modes of conveyance that get more attention from songwriters than the locomotive. In this piece, a student of the American South's relationship with the train puts together a playlist that tries to "imagine a new canon of Southern train songs that cut through the stereotypes of the romanticized Dixie and the sanitized music of modern country," from Bessie Smith to R.E.M.
Rough Mix is a newsletter about all things audio curated by Aaron Rester and brought to you by Beartrap Spring Records.

Music highlighted in these emails is available on our Spotify playlist.
Rough Mix Issue #20: Live Streams and Slow Fades
John Prine, "Angel from Montgomery"
John Prine, as probably everyone reading this will already be aware, died this week as a result of COVID-19. I didn't expect to be one of the people adding to the avalanche of remembrances of him—he was one of those artists that I always respected from afar as "a songwriter's songwriter," but never put in the time get to really know his work. I have always really liked "Angel from Montgomery," though, and this version from his 2000 Souvenirs album is a revelation—a portrait of an artist who has been living with a work for 30 years, and come to understand in a way that his younger self simply couldn't. "To believe in this living is just a hard way to go," indeed.
Songkick Live Streams
I've mentioned the Songkick app in a previous email, as my go-to means of finding out when artists I love are playing nearby. But in the age of social distancing and lockdowns, they're also providing an index of upcoming livestreamed concerts that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home (pants optional).
"A Little Bit Softer Now, a Little Bit Softer Now …
The sad, gradual decline of the fade-out in popular music" by William Weir, Slate
It's better to burn out than fade away, as the bard once sang, and this 2014 Slate article makes the case that modern popular music has, for better or for worse, whole-heartedly embraced this maxim. Weil gives a variety of reasons for this shift, from the simplicity of the "skip" button to the simple ubiquity and ease of implementing the technique with modern technology—gone are the days when adding a fade-out to a recording meant physically carrying the recording device to the other side of the room!
Rough Mix Issue #19: Pandemic at the Disco!
It's only been two weeks since the last newsletter, but that sure does seem like a very, very long time ago. As many of us are stuck at home, looking for a way to occupy their time while under "stay at home" orders, one way for us to connect from across mandated social distances is through music. So I put together a brief playlist of songs that have taken on a new resonance in our strange new reality, and opened it up to your submissions as well. Just save the playlist to your Spotify library, then you'll be able to add songs to it. Add your favorite tunes about social distancing, working from home, general anxiety, whatever. Bonus points for tongues lodged firmly in cheek.
Please note: this is not intended to in anyway make light of the current situation, just to provide a chance for us to connect, and maybe put a smile on each other's faces, while we all try to make it through these difficult times.

Rough Mix Issue #18: Some welcome distractions
Adia Victoria, "Different Kind of Love"
I keep seeing Nashville-based singer-songwriter Adia Victoria's style being described as "gothic blues," which hits all the right buttons for me. This tune in particular, with its swampy snares and shivering lead guitar, is right in my sonic wheelhouse.
"Imaginary Worlds," on Audio Dramas
In a time of global freakout, escaping into a world outside of our own is a tempting thought. Eric Molinksy's fascinating podcast about why we create imaginary worlds "and why we suspend our disbelief" mostly explores science fiction and fantasy films, novels, and other artifacts. In episodes 101 and 102, he explores the radio history and the podcast-era resurgence of audio dramas—how they're produced, and why they're so compelling.
"The True Story Of The Fake Zombies, The Strangest Con In Rock History" – Daniel Ralston, Buzzfeed
Ah, the '60s. Back when no one knew what bands actually looked like, and all it took was adding some quotation marks for unscrupulous promoters to semi-legally run impostor acts—including future members of ZZ Top!—out on the road to capitalize on a mysterious British band's hit single. This Buzzfeed article lays out the whole weird story.
My 2019 Mixtape
Last year was a pretty lousy year for a lot of people I know. Call it escapism, call it self-care, but sometimes music is the only thing that can pull us out of a bad place. Most of the songs on this year's annual mixtape are pretty upbeat, even if the subject matter is often not (which should be no surprise if you're at all familiar with the music I write), but the common thread between them all seems to be a belief that clawing one's way out of the darkness and into the light is always possible… and having a good soundtrack never hurts.
"Only the Stars" by The Long Farewells is now out
Last week, my latest album (and the second record on Beartrap Spring Records), The Long Farewells' Only the Stars was released. AmericanaUK called it "a fine album with lyrics to pique your interest and imagination… pleasingly literate songs with stories to tell," and it's available on just about every streaming and download platform out there. To save you the trouble of looking for links:
Stream on:
Purchase an actual CD:
This Sunday, November 10, we'll be appearing on the Val Leventhal Show on Que4 Radio to talk about the album and play a couple of tunes. Show starts at 10am, we should be on around 10:40 or so. And next Friday, November 15, is the album release show at the Montrose Saloon in Chicago.
Music News: The Long Farewells and Beartrap Spring Records
Somehow, summer is almost over, and I've been neglecting this site even more than usual, though perhaps for better reasons than usual.
"Johnny Went off to War," the first single from the upcoming album by my new band, The Long Farewells, was released on August 1 (you can find it on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube, and just about anywhere else music can be streamed). Only the Stars will be released digitally and on CD on November 1, and we'll be playing an album release show on November 15 at the Montrose Saloon in Chicago.
As noted in my last post, I've expanded the online presence of the tiny record label on which both the new album and my previous solo effort were released. In addition to getting updates about Only the Stars, there are some other projects in the works for Beartrap Spring Records; if you're interested in finding out about them as they grow, you can sign up for the bi-weekly newsletter, or connect on Facebook, Twitter, or Spotify.
Introducing "Rough Mix"
Back in 2017, when I released Americayana, I did so through a conjured-from-thin-air label I called Beartrap Spring Records (named after the cabin in the Catskills where I grew up).
Now, as I prep for the second Beartrap Spring Records release(!), I've started an email newsletter in which I share audio tidbits—music, podcasts, books, articles, what-have-you—that I think are worth sharing and spending some time with.
If that kind of thing interests you, you can subscribe to the newsletter directly, or, if you head over to the Beartrap Spring Records site and sign up there, you just might get a sneak peek at the upcoming release.

Catch yourself whenever you have a negative focus and consciously spin.
It's easy to get caught in a negative thinking loop - a negative focus that can rapidly induce a state of stuckness. It doesn't matter how justified you are in your negative thoughts, the point is this: it's not going to be helpful to you.
1. Stop fueling the negative. Consciously get your attention off your failings: stop talking, thinking and ruminating about what you don't like.
2. Positively focus on what's good about yourself instead. What do you like? List those things - write them down, think about them, and let yourself feel better.
3. Invert. What's the flip side, the opposite of what you don't like? Label it in a positive way. For instance, if you think you've been 'mean', the opposite could be 'generous'.
4. Nourish that thought. Consciously seek out and focus on times you were generous. Write them down, think about them, and let yourself feel better.

The State of Emergency declared on March 6, 2018 according to the instructions given by President Maithripala Sirisena was lifted with effect from midnight Saturday.
"President Sirisena after returning to the country following a successful state visit to Japan signed the Gazette notification to lift the State of Emergency with immediate effect from midnight on Saturday," the President's Media Division said.
"Accordingly, the Special Gazette notification 2062/50 in this regard was issued on Saturday night," the PMD added.
Meanwhile, in a Twitter message, the President said yesterday "upon assessing the public safety situation, I instructed to revoke the State of Emergency from midnight yesterday".
President Maithripala Sirisena declared a State of Emergency On March 6, to redress the unsatisfactory security situation prevailing over certain parts of the country.
The State of Emergency was declared, while empowering Section Two of the Public Security Ordinance within a limited scope.
By declaring a State of Emergency the Police and the Armed Forces were suitably empowered to deal with criminal elements in society and to urgently restore normalcy following communal clashes in Digana and certain other areas in the Kandy district.
The Government meanwhile took speedy measures to control the situation and later compensate the victims and also rebuild the public and private property damaged during the clashes.

After rescue, Makilala Hiraya released back into Mt. Apo park
Makilala Hiraya while recovering at the Philippine Eagle Center in Malagos, DavaoOn June 8, a Philippine eagle was rescued from being mobbed by a flock of crows in Brgy. Kisante in Makilala, North Cotabato, near Mt. Apo Natural Park where Energy Development Corporation (EDC) operates. No serious injuries were found on the bird except for a few abrasions on the wing and tail feathers. The eagle, a female, was estimated to be around three to four years of age.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Kidapawan took temporary custody of the bird before turning it over to representatives of Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) for further examination and rehabilitation.
The eagle was given the name "Makilala," after the place where she was found. According to PEF, securing her release and ensuring her safety in the wild is important so that she can find a mate, nest and contribute to the survival of the Philippine eagle.
Wild population
"Releasing this reduced eagle is important in keeping the wild population thriving. Protecting the existing wild population is as significant as breeding the eagle in captivity to add new birds in our forests. There is also an opportunity to discover the other Philippine eagles in the area in monitoring this eagle after its release," said PEF director of research and conservation Dr. Jayson Ibañez. PEF will monitor Makilala for the next six months.
PEF reached out to EDC, its longtime partner, for the release of the bird and the monitoring to be conducted thereafter. At EDC's 108-megawatt Mount Apo Geothermal Project (MAGP), watersheds are well-maintained and forests are lush. The 701-hectare protected geothermal reservation surrounding MAGP is home to 39 species of mammals and 165 species of birds, including the Philippine eagle.
PEF partner
EDC has been partners with PEF for nearly two decades, and adopted a male eagle, Geothermica, in 2012 through PEF's Adopt-An-Eagle program. Geothermica and a female eagle named Sambisig, who were both captive-bred and raised by PEF, were loaned to Singapore and flown to Jurong Bird Park in mid-2019.
The protection of the iconic national bird remains a priority for EDC's biodiversity conservation and monitoring program. EDC accepted PEF's proposal to release Makilala in a target site within its Mt. Apo geothermal reservation and committed its support for the monitoring activities that will ensure that the bird reaches sexual maturity and has the chance to nest. EDC employees then gave Makilala a second name—"Hiraya," a Filipino word that translates to "fruit of one's hopes, dreams and aspirations."
Released into the wild
Makilala Hiraya was released back into the wild in Mt. Apo Natural Park on July 28. The release was streamed live on the EDC BINHI and PEF Facebook pages.
EDC CSR-PR head Atty. Allan Barcena said: "EDC fully supports the protection and conservation of the Philippine eagle. We continue to work with the Philippine Eagle Foundation and our local governments towards protecting them and their natural habitat by increasing and maintaining forest cover."
The release and monitoring of Makilala Hiraya were undertaken in partnership with PEF, DENR and the municipality of Makilala.
