Operation Mincemeat , Ben Macintyre - 2010
How to strike the enemy and change the course of events beyond bullets and tanks? It was the challenge a of a very reduced group of commited individuals put all together inside the Room 13.
The idea of creating a false identity for a dead body lodged in the mind of Ian Fleming...
Glyndwr Michael, a simply and unknow Welsh citizen, would never imagine that he might be an afterdeath hero, now as the Major William Martin. The military career, his debts at Lloyds TSB Bank, his girlfriend, his father and every single element were created in high level of detail.
But the great deception didn't depend only on the corpse. The deceit needed to be true time before the evidence were released and the espionage work developed was the cherry on the tart to remove any remain of skepticism.
Now it was the turn of the spies to take the reality of a dead Welsh tramp, make him into a fiction, and so change reality.
Keep an eye on: the interesting narrative style of Macintyre which is a great blend of a very professional journalism, humor, thriller and a-story-told-by-my-grandpa. The documents reproduced on the images section that allow the reader to recreate the plot's stage and taste the moments.
Ben Macintyre has built his writer-historian-columnist career through lots of excelent investigations. Operation Mincemeat is, in my opinion, the top of his brilliant trayectory. Operation Mincemeat is a great contribution for the study of the events on the Second World War. In my opinion, if all books of history were written as Ben Macintyre wrote this one, the history lessons would be the favourite subject at all levels in schools.
Hitler never admitted he had been fooled, but his military response to the invasion was proof enough that he knew he had made a major strategic error in failing no reinforce Sicily.
A must read.

Q: How to get jQuery Tools validation working in an overlay dialog? I've got a simple text entry dialog working with jQT overlays -- click a link, an overlay opens with the form, fill out the form, hit submit, and the form gets processed.  I'm now trying to add validation to the form, but the validation never happens.  If I disable the overlay on the link and let the form open in a separate window, validation works properly, so I'm relatively sure I've got the basic validation stuff set up properly.  This no-overlay version is effectively what's happening in http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/validator/index.html -- a page containing a form is loaded, the validation gets set up, and the validation code runs on form submit.
The problem with the overlay version, I think, is that the validation isn't getting set up properly, most likely because the form isn't getting found.  The overlay form doesn't exist until the link is clicked, so the call to validator() can't be in the main page containing the link.  I've tried tacking a SCRIPT tag containing the validator() call onto the end of the form code when it gets created, but that doesn't work.  Nor does calling validator() on the appropriate ID from inside the jQuery code that sets up the overlay form.  In all cases, I'm not seeing any javascript errors showing up in the console.  Arggh.
I would think this is a common usage of jQT forms and validation, but I just can't figure out what's going on here (or not going on here).  Any advice?  Thanks!

A: You should be able to just tap into the onLoad event in the overlay:
$("#dialog").overlay({
    load: true,
    onLoad: function() {
        $("#form").validator();
    },
    onBeforeClose: function() {
        $("#form").data("validator").reset();
    }
});

Edit: Added onBeforeClose handler to reset the form validation upon closing the overlay.
Additionally, make sure the z-index CSS property for errors is above the z-index of the overlay.
However, I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to place the call to validator() outside of the overlay setup code.

The overlay form doesn't exist until
  the link is clicked, so the call to
  validator() can't be in the main page
  containing the link

This isn't quite right: If you inspect your HTML with FireBug you'll see that the overlay elements are just hidden, and will get shown and CSS will get applied to the div to make it look like a modal dialog.  The form should always exist in the DOM.
Check out a working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/andrewwhitaker/SYPSG/


Will the participants be assessed before the programme?
make notes and understand most of the general meaning of lectures and presentations.
We may also request a short personal essay (about the student's academic studies, extra-curricular activities and university aspirations), send an English pre-test or conduct a short Skype interview.
Will the participants have any preparation to do before the programme?
Before the programme, participants will be sent a vocabulary list to study, as well as guidelines for writing a draft personal statement. We suggest each student writes a one-page draft personal statement and sends it to us in advance. We can then team them up with the right student mentor, who will help them work on it during the course. These pre-course activities are strongly recommended, but are not compulsory if, for example, students are too busy with schoolwork and exams before they arrive.
Will participants be given a Certificate at the end of the programme?
Yes, a Certificate of Attendance will be awarded to participants at the end of the programme, together with a Leadership award accredited by Sports Leaders UK and a personal report written by their course tutors and mentors, highlighting both what the participants have learned and how they could make improvements through further study.
Will participants be speaking English a lot during the programme?
Yes, participants will be in an English environment at least 12 hours a day and will be expected to speak and write in English, with support from the course tutors and student mentors when needed.
How will I know if I can keep up?
At the start of the programme, every student will be given an English placement test, which enables us to allocate you to a class which is appropriate for your age and English ability. The level and pace of teaching will be adjusted accordingly. Our tutors and student mentors are experienced in teaching students from different backgrounds and cultures and will provide plenty of individual support, both inside and outside the classroom. If you are likely to be going on to further study after high school, this programme will be suitable for you.
How can participants and parents stay in touch during the programme?
We encourage participants to contact their parents initially to reassure them they have arrived safely. There is free Wifi available in Girton College and participants will be issued with a password on arrival. However, please be aware that coverage is variable due to the age of the college buildings. We can also help participants buy economical SIM cards for their mobile phones.
The best time normally for parents to speak with their children is during the lunchtime break between 12.15 and 13.45 (UK time) from Monday to Friday. Please allow for the difference between UK time and parents' local time. On Saturdays and Sundays, children have outings or free time and can make or receive calls during the day. We also encourage the leaders accompanying the group to keep parents regularly informed about the children's learning and activities, e.g. using social media or a blog.
If their child has travelled in a group, parents should call the group's leader in the first instance to explain the situation. The group's leader can then speak with a member of the Cambridge Dream Senior Management Team who is always available in the college to deal with any emergencies, day or night. A 24-hour emergency contact telephone number will be provided to the leader which can be used outside of 'office hours'. If the participant is not travelling with a group, the parent should call their child who can go directly to a member of the Cambridge Dream Senior Management Team.
Can parents visit during the programme?
Parents are welcome to visit, if this is arranged by email or telephone with the Programme Director, Laura Davies, before the start of the programme. They can attend the presentation of certificates, reports and awards at the end of the programme. They are also invited to join the formal dinner in the College Great Hall, if they are in Cambridge during the day this takes place.
Where can parents stay during their visit?
There are many hotels, apartments and Bed and Breakfast establishments in Cambridge. Cambridge Dream is happy to provide information to help parents make their arrangements if they decide to visit Cambridge.
Is your programme connected to Cambridge University?
Our summer programme is designed and delivered by Cambridge Dream, not by the university. The Cambridge Dream founder and Programme Director, Laura Davies, is a Cambridge University humanities alumna and her husband and son are Cambridge University alumni in science and medicine respectively. Since 2015, we have run a summer school in Girton College (one of the university's 31 colleges) each year. During the summer all the Cambridge Dream managers live in the college alongside the course participants, together with the 15 or so Cambridge University undergraduate students we recruit each summer in a wide range of degree subjects.
Academic staff from Cambridge University deliver lectures and workshops, as well as providing learning materials which students can continue to work on after returning home. We also go outside Girton College for classes in various university faculties and research centres.
The Cambridge undergraduates partner with the course participants according to their registered subject preferences and can discuss any aspects of applying for or studying their subject at university. They help the older participants (15-18 years) with personal statements, as well as providing subject-specific mock interviews and supervisions (small group discussions, typical of the Oxbridge style of learning).
University preparation and careers advice are provided in the summer by an award-winning school career advisor who works for the rest of the year at the Cambridge Academy for Science and Technology, which is a University College on the Bio-medical Campus.
Is your programme just for students who want to study in Cambridge?
No, anyone who is looking for a challenging and stimulating summer school will benefit from attending. The academic enrichment and skills gained, such as communication, leadership, creativity, interview techniques, independent study, critical thinking and personal development planning, are useful for everyone who is considering applying to a high-ranking university, whether in the UK, US or elsewhere in the world.
Do you take individuals or groups?
We welcome both individual applicants and students who travel in a group with a leader. A suitable leader (normally a Cambridge Dream member of staff) will be assigned to individual students on their arrival in Girton College. If students do come in a group, we encourage them to mix with the other participants. We treat all our students as individuals!
What age group is the programme suitable for?
We welcome students between the ages of 13 and 18 years old, as long as they are still in high school when they apply. Please remember that these are programmes for teenagers. This means strict rules apply for everyone!
Participants will get up at about 7.00. Breakfast is from 7.30 to 8.45. Mornings are from 9.00 to 12.15, with a mid-morning break. Lunch is from 12.15 to 13.30. Afternoons are from 13.45 to 17.00, with a mid-afternoon break. Dinner is from 17.15 to 18.30. In the evening, participants can enjoy various supervised entertainments until 21.00. We expect students to be in bed by 22.00.
How many people will there be in my class?
For classes led by mentors, such as personal statement practice and mock interviews, there will usually be a maximum of 6 participants. Other taught classes will usually be a maximum of 12 participants. Lectures will be provided to all the students together.
We have designed all our lessons and teaching materials to achieve the learning objectives of our programme. Our focus is on delivering hands-on, interactive workshops and stimulating team challenges and activities, which encourage students to become self-directed, reflective learners. Instead of textbooks, you will receive printed worksheets and course notes which you keep in a folder which we provide. You will update the folder throughout the course and take it home at the end.
Are the Cambridge Dream teachers qualified?
All of our teachers are UK graduates with teaching qualifications. Many of the teaching faculty are Cambridge alumni or qualified University lecturers. The student mentors are current undergraduates studying at the Universities of Cambridge or Oxford. The Sports Leadership tutor is a qualified sports tutor, who is accredited by Sports Leaders UK to teach the Sports Leaders award.
What will be the role of the group's leaders?
The leaders will be assisting the Cambridge Dream Senior Management Team in ensuring the safe, effective delivery of the programme and safeguarding the welfare of all the participants, whilst they are in our care. As previously stated, a suitable leader will be assigned to individual students, who are not part of a group.
Never go off by themselves!
Always know when and where the meeting point is whilst out on excursions!
Always wear their Cambridge Dream wristband which has an emergency contact number!
Who will be responsible for supervising the learners?
Where will we visit during the programme?
There will be organised excursions to London and Oxford, as well as to local attractions in Cambridge, such as the Fitzwilliam Museum and the orchard tea garden in Grantchester. Other excursion destinations are available if requested at least 4 weeks before the start of the programme! Prices for optional extra excursions are available on request.
What will happen when we arrive at the airport in the UK?
On arrival at the UK airport or ferry port, participants and leaders who are travelling as a group will be met by a Cambridge Dream representative and taken to their coach for the onward transfer to Cambridge. At the end of the course you will be taken back to the airport or ferry port for your return home. Individual transfer arrangements will be made for students who are not travelling in a group. Charges will apply for students requiring a private VIP 'meet and greet' transfer service – for an individual quote please contact us, stating the airport and time of arrival and/or departure.
What will happen when we arrive in Cambridge?
You will have a drink and a snack (or a full meal, depending on the time of your arrival). You will be given a Cambridge Dream rucksack containing your programme timetable, a wristband, a Cambridge Dream polo shirt, map of the college, a pen, an enrolment form and the rules. The wristband has an emergency contact telephone number printed on it and you must wear it at all times. You will be introduced to your student mentor who will show you where your bedroom is and take you around the college pointing out the location of the dining hall, classrooms and office.
What is the college like?
Participants will be staying in Girton College, one of the 31 colleges of Cambridge University. This is the college where the Programme Director Laura Davies studied. Girton is a beautiful college, set amongst 50 acres of parkland and gardens just outside the centre of Cambridge (about 10 minutes to the city centre/Kings College by bus). Here is a link to the college website http://www.girton.cam.ac.uk/. Girton College has major historic significance as it was founded in 1869 during the movement for women's suffrage in the UK, by Lady Stanley, Emily Davies and Barbara Bodichon, as Britain's first residential college for women offering an education at degree level. The founders' vision was: Everything good for the body, soul and spirit. Today, Girton still strongly supports these principles and is a thriving college for Cambridge University men and women.
Girton has lovely rooms and plenty of outside space for BBQs, garden parties, treasure hunts, sports, etc. We will also of course be visiting the iconic Kings College in Cambridge and can arrange to visit any other colleges in Cambridge or Oxford that students want to see.
What kind of accommodation will we have?
Participants will have single bedrooms used by Girton College students in term time, with shared bathroom facilities. The rooms are located close together in one accommodation wing. Bedding and towels will be changed on a weekly basis. Boys and girls will be accommodated separately. It is strictly forbidden for boys to go into girls' rooms or vice versa. Your mentors and leaders will live in the same accommodation wing as you.
The meals in Girton College are fresh, locally sourced English food of a high quality. For breakfast there is a choice of full cooked English breakfast, fruit, yoghurt, cereals, pastries and croissants. For lunch and dinner you can choose daily from a large selection of hot food, including vegetarian options, a soup of the day, fresh sandwiches, paninis and a salad bar.
Your mentor will show you how to operate the washing machines in the college. The tokens for washing your clothes cost £2.00 and are available from the Porter's Lodge. There are also tumble driers for drying your clothes and these cost £1.00 for a medium load.
Is there anything we should know about bathrooms?
It is safe to dispose of toilet paper down the toilet in the UK but women and girls should put sanitary towels in the disposal containers provided next to the toilet rather than into the toilet bowl. Water is plentiful in the UK and it is therefore expected that the toilet is flushed every time it is used.
It is recommended that you bring enough clothes to last for at least one week without washing. Please be responsible for looking after your personal belongings and keeping your room tidy. A full list of things to bring is included in your participant handbook.
The UK weather is variable but not extreme. In addition to summer clothes, we suggest you bring some warm clothing for excursions and evening activities, plus a small umbrella/parasol. You will be given a polo shirt free of charge when you arrive, which must be worn during all excursions. If a formal dinner in the College Hall is included in your programme, you will need to bring smart clothes and shoes.
Do participants need to bring snacks?
No, participants will have plenty of delicious food to choose from and if they bring snacks from home they will probably end up throwing them away!
This is a matter of personal choice. We recommend bringing around £200 for personal expenses, gifts and souvenirs to take home; it is better to bring £10 and £20 notes rather than £50 notes.
How will I get help if anything is lost or stolen?
Please report any theft or missing item to the Programme Director (Laura Davies) or Operations Manager (Keith Welsh) as soon as possible, so that they can assist you. Most insurance policies require you to report loss or theft to the police and to obtain a report number before they will consider any claim. If you intend to make an insurance claim for loss or theft, you MUST report the loss or theft as soon as it is discovered. Our staff will do their utmost to make any difficult or time-consuming insurance procedures easier for leaders and participants, accompanying them if requested to the police station and helping them with paperwork.
How are your staff checked?
All Cambridge Dream staff are carefully checked both by us and the responsible UK authorities (the Disclosure and Barring Service – DBS) to ensure they are suitable for working with children. Cambridge Dream recognises that in all matters concerning child protection, the welfare of the child is of paramount consideration. There are Health and Safety Policies and Safeguarding Policies operated by both the College and Cambridge Dream. All Cambridge Dream staff receive specific training in safeguarding children.
What happens if I feel ill or have an accident?
If you are ill or need a doctor, tell your leader or a member of the Cambridge Dream staff immediately! There is a Doctors' clinic nearby and Cambridge has a world-class teaching hospital, Addenbrooke's. For any minor injuries, there are first aid facilities and trained staff available at all times in the college. Our Senior Management Team and mentors live in the college close to the participants. Leaders from the participating schools can provide extra advice and help if required.
What happens if I miss home?
If you are unhappy for any reason, please do speak to your group's leader or to Keith Welsh who will do their best to help you and allay your concerns. Keith is the person within Cambridge Dream responsible for providing appropriate pastoral care to all under-18s and for ensuring the safeguarding and welfare of all our learners.
What happens if I need medication?
Please note that Cambridge Dream staff are not allowed to administer any type of medication to learners, whether brought from home or purchased in the UK. Group leaders may assist students, if this has been previously agreed with parents.
Do I need to attend all the classes?
All participants enrolled on Cambridge Dream programmes are expected to attend 100% of their workshops, activities, excursions and evening social entertainments, in order to receive their certificate for having completed the course. Absence, for any reason other than illness, will not normally be accepted. Absences must be reported to the Programme Director, who will then inform the tutors and mentors who are completing the register for that day.
Why do I need to participate in the evening activities?
The activities we do are good fun and there is something for everyone – from arts and crafts to Scottish dancing and croquet. Trying something new helps you develop confidence in different situations. You don't have to excel – just take part!


Vacations are one of the best parts about summer. Sometimes it's just great to get away from it all and relax in one of your favorite vacation destinations.
But preparing for a vacation is never an easy task. From finding babysitters, dog sitters, house sitters, and more, planning for vacation sure has many hoops to jump through. Another factor to consider before you head out on your next adventure is thermostat setting for summer vacation. Setting the temperature too high might result in damaged plants or uncomfortable pets, but setting the temperature too low might lead to costly utility bills and wasted energy.
The first thing to consider when deciding on thermostat setting for summer vacation is thinking about if anyone will be home. Are you gonna have a house sitter? Will your pets be home? If you'll have someone come over to watch the house or your pets, take that into consideration when setting your thermostat. We recommend increasing the temperature, without going too high. Pets can endure high indoor temperatures, but I wouldn't go over 80-83 degrees. And if someone is staying in your home, it might be a good idea to have them turn up the thermostat before they leave your residence.
Although cranking up your thermostat before you head out on your vacation can provide substantial energy savings, you don't want to go overboard. If you're ok with having a warm home for a few hours while your residence cools off, then setting your thermostat to a high temperature shouldn't be a problem. We recommend setting your thermostat to about 80-82 degrees before you head out the door.
Thermostat setting for summer vacation can sometimes be difficult. Yeah, it may feel great to crank down your thermostat to the lowest setting, but doing so might result in more wear and tear on your system, not to mention the hefty energy bills you'll be paying. It's also important to consider other ways to improve the health of your system.
Although thermostat setting for summer vacation correctly will help your air conditioner perform better, there are some other things you can do to improve the health of your system. Proper HVAC maintenance is the answer! Just a few simple maintenance visits per year can greatly increase the comfort of your home, not to mention the high amount of money you could be saving.

Labeling a statement an opinion does not automatically make it an opinion or make it safe from the possibility of it being defamatory. If a reader or listener could reasonably understand that the communication as stating a fact that could be verified, the communication will not be considered an opinion, especially if it is sufficiently derogatory to hurt the subject's reputation. Also, a communication that is presented in the form of an opinion may be considered defamatory if it implies that the opinion is based on defamatory facts that have not been disclosed.
In other words, the fact that a statement is one's opinion does not necessarily make one immune from a defamation lawsuit.
An expression of opinion may be "simple" or "mixed." A "simple" expression of opinion is made after the facts on which the opinion is based are presented. A "mixed" expression of opinion is not accompanied by the facts. They may be implied by the speaker or assumed by those receiving the communication.
This distinction is significant in light of a Supreme Court decision that holds that an expression of opinion cannot be the basis of a defamation action. Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., (1974) 418 U.S. 323, 339. If an expression of opinion is based on disclosed, non-defamatory facts, an action is not supported no matter how unreasonable or derogatory the opinion is. However, if the expression of opinion is based on undisclosed or implied facts, support of an action depends on the understanding of the recipient of the statement, since the meaning of a communication is that which the recipient reasonably understands it to be, even if he/she is mistaken in that understanding. So if the recipient reasonably believes the truth of an undisclosed or implied defamatory fact about the subject of a statement, the speaker is liable.
The defendant was at least negligent in publishing the statement.
As always, truth is an absolute defense, which is especially significant when considering a claim involving an opinion. The Court has stated, "Under the First Amendment there is no such thing as a false idea." Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., (1974) 418 U.S. 323, 339. An opinion, therefore, will be considered defamatory only if the implication to the recipient is that there is a factual basis for the opinion that can be proven to be false.
A defendant cannot claim that the undisclosed facts were not defamatory and that he/she unreasonably formed a defamatory opinion, because the meaning of the communication is based on the reasonable understanding of the recipient.
Furthermore, a factual statement, whether words or images, may constitute a communication that is considered defamatory based upon the meaning conveyed to recipients of the communication through its presentation. If the statement of fact is accompanied by derogatory implications or associations, the publisher is liable. Dixson vs. Newsweek, Inc., 562 F.2d 626 (10 Cir. 1977).
Cartoons and caricatures are generally not considered defamatory when they are based upon known or assumed facts and are intended for entertainment and not to be taken seriously.
The law governing defamatory communication is it relates to expressions of opinion is complicated. The attorneys at Minc Law, can guide you in determining whether you have a claim. Contact them today at (216) 373-7706.


Cambodia is a country steeped in history, stretching back to the glorious Angkor Empire to its recent tragic era of the Khmer Rouge. With sites revealing the country's highs and lows, discovering the Kingdom of Wonder's diverse past is an intriguing adventure. Here are some of the top places to remember Cambodia's past.
Standing at the centre of Khmer national pride, Angkor Wat was once the jewel of the almighty Khmer Empire's crown, which ruled large parts of Southeast Asia. Built in the 12th century by Suryavarman II as a Hindu temple, it later switched to a Buddhist monument. The temple and surrounding city served as the capital of the empire, as well as a sacred place of worship. Today, Angkor Wat is Cambodia's main tourist draw, attracting a record 2.2 million people in 2016. Angkor Wat Archaeological Park is spread across 400kms, and takes in hundreds of ancient temples and religious monuments, including Bayon and Ta Prohm.
Prasat Preah Vihear (Temple of the Sacred Mountain) has been at the centre of conflict for decades, making it precious in the hearts of many Cambodians. Sitting on the edge of the Cambodian-Thai border, ferocious fighting between the two countries over ownership of the sacred site persisted until recent years. In 2015, the destination was deemed safe and taken off many foreign offices' watch lists. While military presence remains strong, the temple is well worth a visit. With none of the crowds that plague Angkor, Prasat Preah Vihear is a series of impressive structures, built between the 9th and 12th century by several kings. It teeters atop a 1,722ft cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains, boasting stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
Phnom Kulen and its sprawling national park is considered by locals to be Cambodia's most sacred mountain. Located in Siem Reap province, the area becomes a hive of activity during public holidays and religious festivals as Cambodians flock to the site to worship, picnic and enjoy some family time at the waterfalls. It is home to a giant reclining Buddha who sits at the mountain's peak, waterfalls perfect for swimming in, remote temples and The River of a Thousand Lingas, featuring ancient carvings on the stone riverbed. Steeped in history, it was at Phnom Kulen from where Jayavarman II declared himself a devaraja (god-king) in 802AD.
Bokor Mountain in Kampot is another spot that offers an interesting insight into Cambodia's heyday. A trip up the mountain, which sits about 40 kilometres away from Kampot, takes in a series of dilapidated buildings that hark back to the past, including a crumbling church which served the colonial French who frequented Bokor Hill Station – once a retreat for the country's elite. Atop the mountain sits the former hotel, which is now an eerily derelict shell. This can be explored, with Insta-worthy shots from its terrace, which offers views out across to the nearby Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc.
This hill about 11km outside of Battambang is also steeped in tragic history. Here, visitors can enter the Killing Caves, where thousands of Cambodians were bludgeoned to death before being tossed 20-metres into holes in the roof of the caves. A memorial containing some of the recovered bones and skulls sits inside. Visitors to Phnom Sampeau should time their trip so it rounds off at dusk because every evening, crowds gather at the mouth of the cave to watch the stream of bats fly out. It really has to be seen to be believed.

Q: Very high CPU usage when playing web video I have just set up a new laptop - Dell XPS13 running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. I've noticed very high CPU usage when watching web video. From a fresh boot, I start a single Firefox (or Chromium) window, navigate to e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SfXqTENV_Q
and the video starts playing, and I watch (via htop) the CPU usage for firefox jump to about 90% and stay there.
I've reproduced this on both Firefox and Chromium, and on youtube, BBC iplayer and vimeo.
Any suggestions?
EDIT:
I've just installed the latest nvidia drivers, the package was called nvidia-387. But, no mention of nvidia in lscpi makes me think that maybe they are not actually being used:
martin@martin-XPS-13-9360:~$ lspci | grep nvidia
martin@martin-XPS-13-9360:~$ lspci | grep VGA

The Armed Forces week long event programme will cover the Plymouth Hoe and the Barbican. The Barbican will be featuring events including welcoming a miltary marching band during one evening in the week. Full details of what will be taking place on the Barbican will be added to the Barbican Waterfront Armed Forces Week event page as soon as we have more details :).

A new generation of change: Announcing the 2015 Top 20 under 20™
Here, at Plan Canada, we know that youth have the power to change the world – and we have 20 compelling examples to prove it.
Canada has some incredible youth who are driving local and global efforts to impact positive change. We want to celebrate young Canadians who share in our vision of a world in which every person – regardless of faith, culture or gender – can access the rights and freedoms they deserve, and reach their full potential.
That's why we were thrilled to acquire the Top 20 Under 20™ program from Youth in Motion in 2014 and are now pleased to continue its legacy as one of our national youth engagement initiatives.
The 2015 Top 20 Under 20™ award recipients.
Each year, the Top 20 Under 20™ award recognizes 20 of Canada's brightest youth who have demonstrated a significant level of innovation, leadership, and achievement in their communities and abroad.
This year, our national judging panel of committed and qualified Canadian volunteers, selected 20 deserving young men and women to claim the Top 20 Under 20™ 2015 title. In addition to being recognized for their achievements, winners participated in a unique 3-day leadership summit to connect with one another and develop personal and professional skills. They also received individual Career Coaching, courtesy of Right Management.
Putting innovation into action
From young social entrepreneurs to environmental and health science researchers, this dynamic group has completed extraordinary feats that are helping others, inspiring their peers and laying a promising foundation for future generations.
Anjali Katta, Because I am a Girl Girls' Speakers Bureau and member of the Government of Canada's newly-created Girls Advisory Council.
We believe the most powerful global movements start at the community level and that overcoming big challenges often begins with small, collective successes. And though the greatest triumphs happen when we work together, we know it often starts with one person who dares to put bold ideas in motion to drive positive change.
"I refused to give up," says 17-year-old recipient, Anjali Katta of British Colombia, recalling how her first conference workshop only had 5 attendees despite hours spent arranging speakers. She didn't let the experience detract her and urges youth to not be disheartened by inevitable bumps along the way: "simply start somewhere," she encourages. "If you have even an inkling of an idea, go with it."
Supporting others, Inspiring change
All of this year's winners prove that it isn't the moments of difficulty that define us, but how we choose to act in the face of them. We're proud (and in awe) of these young changemakers for seeing the opportunity that exists within challenges – and for rallying to improve the lives of others and making incredible things possible.
We can't wait to see what these inspiring youth do next. In the meantime, we'd like to share with you the extraordinary achievements they've already accomplished (all before the age of 20!). Without further ado, we'd like to introduce Plan Canada's 2015 Top 20 Under 20™…
Meet the winners!
Plan Canada offers a special thanks to our generous corporate sponsors, including lead funding partner RBC Foundation, for supporting the Top 20 Under 20™ program.

1. 1. And she never came back2. 2. A man came looking for her3. 3. At 11 pm4. 4. Here she was5. Chapitre 5
Mrs Potts was wandering around in the grocery store looking at a piece of paper where she had written her shopping list when she bumped into Mr Stevens.
"Evangeline! I've wanted to talk to you about something important" he announced while giving her a hug.
"It is good to see you Roger, do you mind if we talk while I buy some stuff?" She pointed to her shopping list with the hand that was holding Lucky's leash.
Mr Stevens looked around with a scared look on his face. "I - I am afraid this won't be possible." He looked around them again before continuing, this time with a lower voice "It seems that walls have ears."
"Do you prefer we talk at your place then?" asked Mrs Potts with concern in her voice.
"No!" shouted Mr Stevens. Realising he was talking so loud he started to whisper: "I think I am being spied on, and - well it might be a coincidence - I saw a girl with blond hair."
"I am sorry if I don't follow Roger, but there are a lot of blonde girls out there" she replied, trying her best to not seem too sarcastic. She was starting to think that her dear friend was going crazy and paranoid.
"Yes yes a lot of blonde girls indeed", he waved his hand to show that that was not the point. "The girl I saw was", he lowered his voice, if that was even possible, "Texas Jefferson."
That name ran through Mrs Potts like electricity. She felt something cold going through her spine and in the back of her neck. That's when she started to believe what Mr Stevens was saying, what she always believed in the depths of her mind. Texas Jefferson was alive. Remembering the man she saw the other day, with Mr Stevens, she couldn't help but worry about Texas. "Are you sure it was her?" she asked, "I mean, it has been ten years, who knows what she looks like now." She tried to hide the worries in her voice.
"We should talk at your place." Mr Stevens was acting like he was in a rush, which made Mrs Potts take her decision even faster.
"I'll finish my shopping later, we should get moving."
Mrs Potts, Mr Stevens and Lucky headed as fast as they could to Mrs Potts' house. None of them saw the tall man in black following them. They also didn't seem to notice him climbing the fence and going inside Mrs Potts' house using the back door.
And all four of them didn't notice the young blonde girl wearing jeans with holes on the knees, a white tank top, a leather jacket and Doc Martin's on the roof of Mrs Potts' house, using one of the roof windows to go inside the house.
Lucky barked a few times but Mrs Potts and Mr Stevens were so concentrated in their discussion about Texas Jefferson and the man in black that they didn't pay attention.

Q: Como esconder o modal do bootstrap via typescript Olhando a documentação do bootstrap eu vi que ele possui um método específico para esconder o modal via jquery:
.modal('hide')
$('#myModal').modal('hide')

O problema é que eu uso angular, então preciso de uma forma de realizar a chamada dessa função através do typescript. Usar jquery no meu cenário não é viável e eu preciso remover através do typescript, pois ele só será fechado depois de sucesso de uma requisição http.

A: Consegui da seguinte forma:
Defini uma variável local para o botão de fechar com o data-dismiss da modal:
<button [disabled]="loadingVinculacao" #fechaModalVinculacao type="button" class="btn btn-danger" data-dismiss="modal">Fechar</button>

No typescript acessei ele pelo viewchield:
  @ViewChild('fechaModalVinculacao') fechaModalVinculacao: ElementRef; //Acesso ao elemento do dom

Realizo clique no botão fechar através do typescript se minha requisição for feita com sucesso:
this.fechaModalVinculacao.nativeElement.click(); //Fecha o modal se a requisição for feita com sucesso

Bert is Evil war der Titel einer vielfach gespiegelten Website von Dino Ignacio, die sich mit  Bert, einer Figur aus der Kindersendung Sesamstraße beschäftigte.

Die Website, die 1998 den Webby Award für die verrückteste Website gewann, zeigte montierte Fotos der Puppe mit berüchtigten Personen der Geschichte wie Adolf Hitler oder Jerry Springer oder Bilder von Bert, der bei großen Katastrophen, wie beispielsweise dem Absturz der Hindenburg anwesend ist, als humorvoller "Beweis" für die Schuld von Bert, der eben nicht bloß eine unschuldige Figur des Kinderfernsehens sei. Das Evil Bert Motiv wurde von vielen Komikern übernommen, die eigene Bilder von Bert erstellten, die ihn mit aktuellem oder historischem Grauen in Verbindung brachten.

2001 wurde ein unbearbeitetes Foto bei Reuters veröffentlicht, das eine Demonstration in Bangladesch pro Osama bin Laden zeigte. Einer der Protestierenden trug ein großes Plakat mit einer Fotocollage aus Bildern bin Ladens. In der Collage war auch ein kleines Bild, das Bert hinter der linken Schulter bin Ladens zeigte. Das Reuters-Bild sorgte bei westlichen Betrachtern für Verwirrung, und es wurden eine Menge Witze darüber gemacht. Das Original-Bild von bin Laden und Bert war zuvor vom Komiker J-roen mit einem Bildbearbeitungsprogramm erstellt und im Web veröffentlicht worden. Der Schöpfer des Demo-Plakats hatte es kopiert und Bert nicht aus dem Bild entfernt.

Nach der Veröffentlichung des Demonstrationsbildes nahm Ignacio den Bert is Evil Bereich vom Netz, und gab an, er wolle nicht weiterhin die positive Sicht von Kindern auf die Figur Bert in der Sesamstraße untergraben. Er schrieb: "Ich tue das, weil ich das Gefühl habe, dass diese Sache der Realität zu nahe gekommen ist". Trotz Ignacios Aufforderung, alle Kopien von Bert is Evil ebenfalls vom Netz zu nehmen, sind immer noch einige online.

Eine detaillierte Aufstellung über die Verwendung des Bildes der Demonstration in Südasien und in westlichen Medien ist online. Dies spricht auch gegen die Annahme, die Verwendung von Bert auf dem Plakat sei irgendeine Form von verschlüsselter Kommunikation. Wahrscheinlicher ist, dass der Demonstrant die Figur Bert nicht kannte, und ihn deshalb einfach im Bild beließ.

Given the increasing level of competition among service companies, the role and the importance of intangible assets have increased. A brand is an intangible asset that is the most important factor in distinguishing a company and creating a competitive advantage for it. In the competitive environment of the tourism industry, maintaining and developing the market share result from the brand performance. Since the role of staff is significant in transferring the company's brand contracts to customers (in service companies), this research tried to understand why the brand management system was important. It also tried to empirically investigate the effect of the brand management system on brand performance at the employee level, and the mediation effects of brand identity, brand commitment, and brand loyalty. The statistical population of this research included employees of travel and tourism companies in Tehran. To get a sample size, the study used available sampling and Cochran's formula. This is an applied research, and data analysis is descriptive and correlational. To analyze the data of the questionnaire, the study used confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model. The results showed that the brand management system had no direct effect on the brand performance at the employee level. However, the brand management system indirectly influenced brand performance through brand identity, brand commitment, and brand loyalty.
The perceived value of a brand is a basic concept for brand purchase and is considered as a valuable and necessary asset. Marketers need to identify the effective factors on brand purchase intention to promote their products and aim for improving the perceived value of the brand. This study tried to test the concept in tourism and test the effect of the perceived value of tourists on purchase intention (candy) and brand image. The statistical population was all the tourists who visited the city of Bojnord. Based on Krejcie and Morgan sampling table, 384 tourists were selected randomly. A localized questionnaire was used to collect data. Using structural equation modeling and LISREL, the study investigated the conceptual model and the research hypotheses. The results showed that the perceived value of tourists had a positive and significant effect on the brand image and purchase intention toward the candy. Tourists' mental image had also a positive and significant effect on the purchase intention. The results showed that the tourism marketers could increase the tendency of tourists to purchase Bojnord candy by improving the index of the perceived value of the candy and by making efforts to brand these local souvenirs, which could lead to developing the tourism industry.
This study examined the relationship between environmental attitude and sustainable development of ecotourism, and the mediating role of travel motivation and environmentally responsible behavior of ecotourists in Mahdishahr and Semnan. The population included all ecotourists in Mahdishar and Semnan. The participants were 250 (122 males and 128 females) and were selected via a Convenience Sampling method. All participants completed the scales of environmental attitude, motivation, environmentally responsible behavior and sustainable development of ecotourism. Using LISREL, the data were analyzed by the path analysis model. The results showed that environmental attitude did not have a direct influence on the sustainable development of ecotourism. Environmental attitude had a direct, positive and significant influence on travel motivation and environmentally responsible behavior. Environmental attitude had an indirect, positive and significant impact on sustainable development of ecotourism with the mediating role of travel motivation and environmentally responsible behavior.
