CORPORAL, U.S. MARINE CORPS, 21ST MARINES, 3RD MARINE DIVISION
The first time the five foot six, nineteen-year-old Hershel "Woody" Williams tried to join the Marines, in the fall of 1942, he was too short. The second time he tried, a few months later, he wasn't: The Corps relaxed its height requirements. He immediately enlisted. He was sent to the Pacific with the 3rd Marine Division and placed in a flamethrower/demolition unit.
Williams took part in the invasion of Guam, which seemed horrific—until he was sent to Iwo Jima the following year. The beach area in Guam was clear and relatively undefended, and the Marines could advance into the jungle. At Iwo, all the jungle cover had been blown away, and the beach became a slaughterhouse.
His company was supposed to hit the beach on February 20, 1945, but there were so many Marines stuck on the beachhead

Children's Museum, NYCHA Create East Harlem Early Learning Hub
By Jeff Mays | December 20, 2013 11:15am
@JeffCMays
NYCHA East Harlem Early Childhood Learning Center
HARLEM—As Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio focuses on early childhood learning as one of his administration's top priorities, the Children's Museum of Manhattan has partnered with Union Settlement and the New York City Housing Authority to create an early childhood "hub" at Johnson Houses in East Harlem that they feel can be a citywide and national model for leveling the playing field for low-income children.
Using the "EatPlayGrow" curriculum developed with the National Institutes of Health and tested at the Children's Museum of Manhattan, the focus is on early childhood literacy and health for the Union Johnson Early Learning Center and Head Start facility on 113th Street and Lexington Avenue.
"By the age of 4, even before Head Start, 80 percent of a child's brain is developed," said Andrew Ackerman, executive director of the Children's Museum of Manhattan. "There is no better investment than early childhood education."
Kids squealed as they fed Alphie the dragon, an interactive toy, with letters and shouted out the names of healthy food that started with each letter, such as watermelon for the letter "W."
There's a replica of the NYC Green Carts that sell fruits and vegetables on the street in the children's classroom to encourage healthy eating while the block building area focuses on exploring math concepts. A teacher used clay to help students mold different types of healthy food.
Outgoing NYCHA chairman John Rhea said the curriculum is the type they had in mind when they opened the newly built center.
"A program like this costs thousands of dollars at a for-profit school but its critical that low-income children have access," said Rhea who added that the program would help close the "achievement gap that we know is too prevalent in low-income communities."
Studies show that by the time kids enter kindergarten, an achievement gap can already exist. Kids from higher income families score better on cognitive tests than children from lower-income families. White children score higher on reading tests than both black and Latino students. More troubling is that this racial and economic achievement gap persists even as students get older.
"I see this as simply helping to level the playing field," said Laurie Tisch, president of the Illumination Fund, one of the children's museum's biggest funders. "If my kids can have it why can't kids who are in a different zip code?"
The program also doesn't just focus on kids. Parents, educators, care givers and public housing staff will also receive training from staff at the children's museum. The development of the initiative will also be studied as NYCHA and its partners develop plans to replicate the early childhood hub in public housing developments across the city.
David Nocenti, executive director of Union Settlement said kids of all incomes can have quality early childhood learning but it's going to take collaboration.
"We can't do this on our own because we don't have the capacity or the funding," said Nocenti. "Everything is better when done in collaboration."

Les ràtzies de 897 i 898 foren dues campanyes de Llop Ibn Muhammad contra el comtat de Barcelona que provocaren la mort de Guifré el Pilós i el despoblament del Vallès.

Antecedents
El 883 o 884 els musulmans es van sentir amenaçats per l'expansió de Guifré el Pilós, que va voler establir la frontera en els rius Llobregat i Segre, amb posicions al Bages (Cardona per exemple), a Osona, al Berguedà i a la Vall de Lord (i algunes aprisions a la Vall de Cervelló al sud del riu Llobregat), i repoblant els territoris, construint i consolidant esglésies i monestirs, al voltant dels que es fixava la població.

Guifré lluitava per estabilitzar la frontera a partir de Cardona en direcció a Solsona. En aquell moment la frontera del comtat passava al nord de Solsona segurament per Besora, Tentellatge i Correà; la de Berga per Sorba, Gargallà i Serrateix; i la d'Osona per Cardona, Manresa i Montserrat. La ciutat de Larida fou fortificada, i Guifré va veure-ho com una provocació i va atacar la ciutat, governada pel valí de la família dels Banu Qasi, Ismaïl ibn Mussa. L'atac a Larida no va sortir bé. L'historiador Ibn al Athir diu que els musulmans van fer gran mortaldat entre els atacants.

El successor d'Ismaïl, Llop Ibn Muhammad en constant lluita amb Muhàmmad al-Tawil i els nobles cristians del Comtat d'Aragó i dels comtats catalans que s'anaven expandint i repoblant lentament des de les muntanyes dels Pirineus cap al sud, sovintejaven les incursions cristianes i les ràtzies musulmanes en territori enemic. Fou aleshores quan Llop ordenà fortificar diverses ciutats, com Lleida, Montsó o Balaguer. També ordenà la construcció de la mesquita aljama de Lleida, l'actual Seu Vella.

Les ràtzies
El 897, després de la retirada de Muhàmmad al-Tawil, Llop Ibn Muhammad atacà el comtat de Barcelona. Odó I de França, ocupat amb els problemes a l'interior del regne i les invasions vikíngues, no va poder ajudar els comtes catalans, que van haver d'enfrontar-se sols als musulmans.

L'11 d'agost de 897 Guifré el Pilós va morir en combat prop del castell d'Aura. provocant l'evacuació de la població civil de Barcelona i el Vallès que es refugiava als llocs fortificats del nord del Vallès i al Bages, abandonant cases i terres.

Guifré el Pilós fou succeït pel seu fill Guifré II, i Barcelona no fou presa, de manera que la població tornà a la ciutat a principis de 898

El 898 Llop Ibn Muhammad va llençar un nou atac contra el comtat de Barcelona.

Conseqüències
El Vallès sofrí molt i restà gairebé despoblat durant uns vint-i-cinc anys, mentre els barcelonins es refugiaven als llocs fortificats del nord del Vallès i al Bages.

Castell d'Aura
La localització del castell d'Aura, o castell d'Oro, que va ser cremat per Llop Ibn Muhammad i prop del qual va morir Guifré, resulta incerta. S'ha suggerit que podia ser a Valldaura (serra de Collserola), la Valldora (Solsonès), Besora, Santpedor (abans Sant Pere d'Or) o Gualta prop de Caldes de Montbui. Segons la crònica musulmana, es trobava "en els termes de Barcelona" i era residència de Guifré. L'etimologia de la Valldaura de Collserola prové de Vallis Laurea (vall de llorers) i no de Vallis Aurea. La localització de Gualta prové d'una llegenda que barreja els fets de la mort de Guifré amb el comte Borrell II. Les altres localitzacions resulten lluny de Barcelona.

Leaders of student groups and other activists hold a press conference at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei yesterday to announce plans for an event outside the legislature compound tomorrow evening to mark the one-year anniversary of the signing of the cross-strait service trade agreement.
Several student groups are planning to mark the one-year anniversary of the signing of the cross-strait service trade agreement with an event aimed at warning the government against another attempt to push through controversial bills during the Legislative Yuan's current extra session.
The service trade agreement was signed in Shanghai on June 21 last year.
The deal had sparked strong objections even before the pact was signed and eventually led to a three-week occupation of the legislature's main chamber earlier this year after the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) tried to rush the pact through the review process.
The Black Island Nation Youth Front, which was established last year after the pact was signed, and the groups Democracy Dautin and the Democracy Kuroshio, which were set up this year, yesterday said they were planning an evening event outside the Legislative Yuan compound tomorrow evening.
They said they want to remind the government about the public's voice.
Three disputed bills — the draft for the free economic pilot zones program, the bill for a cross-strait agreements oversight mechanism and the service trade agreement itself — are crammed into the final week of the three-week-long extra session, which suggests a possible bid to rush them through, Democracy Dautin member Wu Cheng (吳崢) said.
"Juxtaposing [the latter two bills] for a simultaneous review is in itself in violation of what the public has been demanding, which is to first institute an oversight mechanism before reviewing any cross-strait agreements, including the service trade pact," Wu said.
Dennis Wei (魏揚), from the Black Island Nation Youth Front, said that the KMT tried to railroad the service trade pact through during an extra legislative extra session in July last year.
He then paraphrased a Karl Marx quote when Marx was amending a quotation by G.W.F. Hegel.
"Marx wrote that 'great world-historical facts and personages occur' twice; 'the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.' Although [President] Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) is not a great personage, nor is ramming through the bills anything close to a great event, the attempts to force through the pact last year and this year are both tragedies and farces," Wei said.
The Ma administration is only interested in GDP growth, ignoring the people's livelihood and the failure of its economic policies, Lee said.
The public should closely follow the legislature's action over the next two weeks to see how the bills are handled, Lee said.
"We will continue monitoring the extra session and will take action if necessary during this period to keep those bills at bay," Democracy Kuroshio representative Hsu Yung (徐雍) said.
The KMT's caucus whip said it would be almost impossible to finish reviewing the bills in this extra session, "so it is a mystery why the bills needed be placed on the extra session agenda" to begin with, Wei said.
"Nobody knows whether they [the KMT] will launch a surprise attack. The event on Saturday is to maintain the dynamics and exert pressure on it," he said.
The event is to run from 6pm to 10pm and will not run into the next day, the organizers said.


I'm currently studying computer science and it has been an interesting experience. As I progress, there are fewer and fewer women in the CS classes. A couple times, I have been the only female in the class. It's both daunting and encouraging. However narcissistic it sounds, I feel proud to be pursuing a field where women are sorely underrepresented. It saddens me that not more women are in CS or other STEM fields, but I feel like I'm helping pave the way even in my small way.
I know how you feel. Sadly I felt the same way ten years ago when I was in my CS program. Such slow progress.
Does it seem like there was a time recently that there were a lot more women entering the STEM fields? It seemed that way to me, but I'm very cognizant that I have blind spots due to my background and various privileges. (straight, white, and male for those who read this who don't know me) It felt like there were a few years where a lot of women entered the tech fields, and like that has now dropped off. It saddens me for multiple reasons, but I have to admit that I kind of judge startups by how many women are in the truly technical positions, as well as how many are at the executive level – it seems like the healthiest companies excel in both categories, and it was part of what drew me to my current position.
I chose to date (and soon marry) a self-identified feminist, so this has been a common conversational topic for us.
Unless they hired someone while I was on medical leave I am now the last female engineer at work.
I don't know what is happening to women in STEM fields. Brain not feeling healed up enough to contemplate too much and really I have far too many horror stories.
I stay out of stubbornness and because coding scratches an itch that nothing else scratches.
If you look outside of Engineering proper to people who still code and are technical, I believe there are 4 more, of varying experience levels – I won't evaluate how they rate technically other than to say they all have a lot more talent and experience in that aspect than I do.
In any case, I know a lot of us are looking forward to seeing you here again soon and are glad that you're healing up. Best wishes!
This comment shocked me. I know there are certain people who are taught to be unscrupulous with their resume in order to land an interview, but surely all professionals do exactly as you say above? But then I realized that your implication must be correct.
For two decades, then, I have only put on my resume what I could defend in an interview. This may have cost me interviews, but then I have to live with myself at the end of the day, and it'll come out in the interview anyway. I can't see a benefit here. Also, there's a type of employer I look for. I don't think I'm overly picky, but there are good managers and bad ones. The hard part is sifting them.
How much Java do you need to know to put Java on your resume? Are you willing to put asp because you know jsp and could learn asp in a weekend? If you know C++ and the job calls for C do you put that you know C?

Off-track attractions add to the fun at Donington Historic FestivalMonday 17 January 2022
Off-track attractions add to the fun at Donington Historic Festival
Monday, April 16 2018
As well as an outstanding programme of 19 races from 14 world-class grids of historic competition cars from the 1920s-2000s, the 2018 Donington Historic Festival features a host of off-track attractions to add to the excitement and entertainment.
Clouds of tyre smoke will waft across the paddock from the Melbourne Loop as the ever-popular Group B rally cars demonstrate their considerable power and agility. These mighty machines echo back to the 1980s, when Donington Park was an RAC Rally stage and Group B dominated international rallying. These lightweight, 4WD, supercharged beasts, which could command in excess of 600bhp, were all-powerful, but their reign was brought to an end following a series of high-profile accidents. Now the only chance to see Group B cars in action is at demonstration events, when icons such as Audi quattros, Ford RS2000s, Porsche 911 RSRs and MG Metro 6R4s remind us of just how potent they are.
The off-track attractions aren't confined to the ground - on Saturday May 5 a Spitfire and Hurricane from the Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) will treat DHF visitors to a flypast. And on Sunday, May 6 the BBMF Dakota flies over the event.
Back down to earth again, F1 car demonstrations on the Saturday and Sunday of the event, plus static displays on all three days will celebrate that famous day at Donington Park in April 1993, when Ayrton Senna fought Alain Prost, Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and the British weather to win the European Grand Prix by an incredible 80 seconds.
The all-access paddock will allow Festival visitors to see race teams in action and get those essential close-up photos of the fantastic range of competition cars at the event. Complimenting this are lunchtime pitlane walk sessions, when spectators can get a glimpse of the view from the other side of the track, as they wander into garages, pose for pics on the pit wall etc.
Donington Park has been further developed over the winter months, with MSV introducing a number of new elements, from grandstands to new loos(!).
MSV has also just launched a superb new café, bar and restaurant named Garage 39. This is located right in the heart of the race paddock.
The views from the Infield are famously amongst the best at any race circuit anywhere, and spectators can also take time to examine the displays of 1000+ classics from dozens of car clubs and the pre-1990 classic parking area - and enjoy the lunchtime parades when some of those cars will take to the track.
Infield visitors on the Saturday can enjoy a mammoth gathering of over 200 Ford Mustangs, as enthusiast club Simply Mustangs UK brings together an incredible selection of this much-loved American motoring legend. A whole herd of Mustangs will lead the lunchtime parade that day - an unforgettable sight!
When the Group B cars are taking a well-earned rest, members of the British Historic Kart Club will take to the Melbourne Loop, showcasing karts from the golden era of British karting, when legendary names such as Graham Hill and Ayrton Senna got their first foot on the motorsport ladder in these tiny but powerful and incredibly nimble machines.
Festival visitors also get the chance to take the public roads around Donington Park in a classic or supercar. The very generous members of the Sporting Bears Motor Club are giving 10-mile passenger rides in their classic and supercars in exchange for donations to a very worthwhile charity, the Jennifer Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
Online tickets offer great discounts over buying on the gate, starting at £10 for the Friday qualifying day (£15 on the gate). Children aged under 13 are admitted for free and there are discounted tickets for teenagers aged 13-15. Click here to puchase tickets.

Friedlosigkeit kennzeichnete im germanischen Stammesrecht den persönlichen Verlust des Rechtsschutzes infolge der Verurteilung wegen einer Straftat.

Geschichte
Die Rechtskategorie der Friedlosigkeit war zwar inhaltlich im Wesentlichen mit der Reichsacht identisch, jedoch wird das Wort Friedlosigkeit vorwiegend in norddeutschen und dänischen Quellen (altwestnordisch friðlauss, altenglisch friðleas, altschwedisch friþlös, altdänisch frithløs, friesisch fretholas, mittelniederdeutsch vredelos) genannt. In südlichen Quellen dagegen findet sich das gleiche Rechtsinstitut als Acht, und der Vorgang ist als Ächtung bezeichnet. Auch der Sachsenspiegel kennt das Wort Friedlosigkeit nicht. Die meisten Belege entstammen dem 13. bis 15. Jahrhundert, also der Zeit der Landfriedensbewegungen.

Ein Urteil der Friedlosigkeit hatte zur Folge, dass die verurteilte Person seiner bürgerlichen und Vermögensrechte verlustig und "aus dem Frieden in den Unfrieden gesetzt", mit anderen Worten, allen Rechtsschutzes ledig war. Beispielsweise benannte die nordfriesische Siebenhardenbeliebung vom 17. Juni 1426 im Art. 6 für die Delikte eines Bruches des Hausfriedens oder des Pflugfriedens die Strafe der Friedlosigkeit. Die Furchtbarkeit dieser Strafe bestand vor allem darin, dass der Geächtete keine Unterkunft und keinen Schutz finden konnte, weil die Begünstigung ebenfalls mit der Friedlosigkeit bedroht war.

Ob in der vorchristlich-germanischen Rechtstradition ein Friedloser auch als Wolf bezeichnet wurde (altnordisch: vargr), wie es zum Beispiel Wilhelm Eduard Wilda in Das Strafrecht der Germanen von 1842 nahelegt, ist in der jüngeren Forschung umstritten. Beispiel für die Vertretung einer Gegenposition ist das Buch Wargus, vargr, 'Verbrecher' 'Wolf' : eine sprach- und rechtsgeschichtliche Untersuchung von Michael Jacoby. Auf anderer Seite wird die Theorie vertreten, dass wargus oder vargr nicht nur in seiner Bedeutung als "Ausgestoßener" in bestimmten Rechtstexten verwendet wurde. So in der Schrift Wargus. Eine Bezeichnung für den Unrechtstäter in ihrem wortgeschichtlichen Zusammenhang von Ruth Schmidt-Wiegand.

Gender Equity Requires Changes in Law, Not Just in Culture
Even in developed countries, legal barriers can stunt economic independence for women.
By Gillian B. White
Women workers from a Belgian coal mine in 1910. (Library of Congress)
Women's inclusion in the workforce on a mass scale is relatively new. In 1950 only about one-third of women in the U.S. were active workers; by 2000, nearly two-thirds were. And while there's still plenty of gender inequity in the workplace (the wage gap, parental-leave policies, the paltry number of women at the very top, etc.), women in many countries now enjoy more economic freedom and opportunity than their mothers and grandmothers.
Women's labor-force participation doesn't alone signify economic freedom, but it is one of the mechanisms by which women can build wealth and gain financial independence. A new report from the World Bank takes a look at the legal status of women around the world and finds that while there has been progress in many countries when it comes to making financial freedom more accessible, laws still exist that can make women especially economically vulnerable.
Legal barriers that restrict women's opportunities to work are the most obvious culprits of gender inequality across the globe. In Russia, for instance, researchers found that women are legally barred from working 456 different (and pretty specific) jobs including woodworking and driving trucks that carry agricultural goods. Similar laws are also prevalent in the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and North Africa. And while wealthier, more developed nations are less likely to have explicit legal prohibitions on women working, they do exist. Eight of 32 OECD high-income countries, including Israel, France, the Republic of Korea, and Japan, have laws that bar women from certain jobs. French law prohibits women moving loads that weigh more than 45 kilograms via a wheelbarrow. And in Argentina, women are barred from loading and unloading ships, the paper finds.
Similarly, the lack of government-sponsored paid maternity and paternity leave policies can also exacerbate gender inequalities within the workforce. The greater prevalence of paid maternity leave, rather than paternity leave, forces more women into primary care-taking roles and away from their careers. Forcing companies to decide on and pay for paid-leave options also plays a role in the cost analysis that firms do when hiring women of childbearing age. In some instances, this means that firms could be reticent to offer paid leave or even hesitate to hire women who are of childbearing age for specific roles. The countries with the least adequate parental-leave policies were Tonga, Suriname, Papua New Guinea, and the United States, according to the study.
It's easy to see how limiting the job prospects of women can hamper their financial futures. But laws preventing women from working a variety of jobs are by no means the only method of holding women back economically. Laws that limit the ability of women to inherit or hold assets, especially property, can play a major role in economic insecurity. For example, in Ghana, inherited or gifted homes make up 30 percent of owner-occupied dwellings. That means that disabling or discouraging inheritance for women can put them in a precarious financial position, especially in the event that their husband or male family members die.
Conversely, empowering women's inheritance can have a profound impact. The paper cites evidence from India's 1994 reform effort of the Hindu Succession Act, which granted women the same rights to family inheritance as men. After the reform, women were more likely to have bank accounts, and parents invested more in the education of their female children—mothers in particular spent twice as much on their daughters' education. There were other improvements too. After the reform the sanitation of home bathrooms improved, suggesting that the shift in the law gave women more power on the home front.

The Long Road of US Repression
Webinar courtesy of the Gateway Greens Since its creation, the US has sought to crush those working for social justice and against war. From the beginning, there has been a struggle between those who work to produce wealth vs. those who hoard it. Throughout history, the Democratic Party and its Republican twin have been at the center of every type of repression. Suffering has been incredibly intense by peoples of Africa, Latin America and Asia whose bodies and wealth have been stolen. Continue reading
Honoring The Socialist Legacy of MLK
NEW MARTINSVILLE, WV – This MLK Day, conservatives and liberals everywhere will sing the praises of America's most notorious civil rights leader while at the same time completely ignoring Dr. King's strong adherence to democratic socialism which stemmed from his Christian faith. The christo-fascists in the GOP will be especially susceptible to this hypocrisy, posting MLK quotes about love and equality while at the same time pushing through legislation which aims to harm LGBTQ+ communities and pregnant people in the name of Christian values. Socialism, however, is much more in line with the teachings of Jesus than the conservatism and christo-fascism of the GOP. Continue reading

French flair flourishing ahead of Euro 2012
March 4, 2012 by James Fudge
France's 2-1 victory against a strong Germany in Bremen raised many eyebrows across Europe in midweek, as the Les Blues look to build up momentum for the European Championships.
The 1998 World Cup winners are proving little by little that they are recovering from the scandal of the 2010 World cup campaign, where they went on strike in protest at Nicolas Anelka's expulsion under the reign of Raymond Domenech.
Those bridges are slowly being made ahead of their Euro 2012 opener against England on 11th June.
As their Euro 2012 opening opponents continued under the disappointing Fabio Capello, across the channel the French instigated a different approach. The team had to rebuild in order to establish themselves under inexperienced coach Laurent Blanc after the country's outrage led to all 23 World Cup squad members to be banned for various matches.
World Cup captain Patrice Evra was banned for five matches and influential winger Frank Ribery was handed a three match suspension by the French Federation, forcing the manager's hand with the untried.
He has slowly adopted his own approach by embracing his midweek opponents approach of slowly adapting promising youngsters, giving them needed experience to compete with experienced national players.
The leader of France's 1998 and 2000 World and European trophies as a player, Blanc requires the best out of his players, and sees no shame in rebuilding by copying other countries football approach.
Speaking to the French media before the Germany encounter, the manager said: "They're one of the cornerstones of European – and world – football," he underlined. "It's not industrial espionage. We have the right to come and see what they're doing better than us. Germany are a great team. I'm expecting mine to finally show some improvements in their game."
The roots of that fresh start have been promising after performances in the qualifiers and the emergence of players like Yann M'Vila, Jeremy Menez and Yohan Cabaye replacing the old guard of Thierry Henry and Jeremy Toulalan.
That youth mixed with a recipe of passion and hunger has led the French team to an unbeaten run of 18 matches which included the impressive friendly victory over England at Wembley in November 2010.
A long time Arsenal and Barcelona target, M'Vila played with composure expected of Patrick Vieira in his prime and alongside Cabaye they showed promising glimpses of what England will be facing in Donestk in June. The two dominating midfielders allowed more space for the freeing Samir Nasri into the central role just behind the striker. The Manchester City striker was increasingly prominent as the game went on, dictating the run of play and was the centre of any attacks.
In attack lies a number of options for Blanc as Montpelier striker Oliver Giroud, scorer in Germany, has been impressive in Ligue 1 and will provide as a good back up while Karim Benzema and Loic Remy remain first choices for the tournament in Poland and Ukraine.
At the back shows experience and a reliable duo of Phillipe Mexes and Adil Rami who were instrumental in the qualifying campaign, alongside first choice right back Bakary Sagna and captain Patrice Evra.
Throughout the team, the French squad look to have a good mixture of defensive qualities and also the attacking threat which could hurt any national side when they all hit form.
That shows with impressive win against Brazil and away victories in England and now the 2008 European Championship runners up.
All though out done by Spain in an international friendly, France will be hoping that they will be more than a threat to Spain's European crown when it comes to the beginning of June.

Man builds giant replica of the Taj Mahal for his wife – and they can live in it
Edaein O'ConnellTuesday 30 Nov 2021 1:20 pm
The structure is seriously impressive (Picture: Getty/Caters)
Sure, flowers are romantic but has a man ever built you a replica of a landmark to express his feelings?
Husbands, wives, girlfriends and boyfriends, it's time to up the ante when it comes to romance because a husband in India has built a house for his wife in the style of the Taj Mahal.
Anand Prakash Chouksey, a teacher from the central state of Madhya Pradesh, designed the property as a smaller replica of the world famous building.
He did so as a sign of adoration for his spouse.
The palatial home features four bedrooms, a library and a meditation room built at Chouksey's wife's request.
In total, the home took three years to build.

It also features a domed roof and intricate carving and gold decorations inside.
'She only had one demand with this house that she wanted a good meditation room,' Chouksey says.

'So, I told the engineers to put a special focus on the meditation room.'
The Chouksey family visited the Taj Mahal in Agra and used images from the internet to obtain the exact measurements for the scaled-down romantic monument.
The interiors are fit for a king and queen (Picture: Caters News Agency)
'We wanted to make an exact miniature version of the Taj Mahal, perfectly to scale, to the centimetre,' explains Chouksey's son, Kabir Chouksey.
'We had to rebuild some arches three to four times because there was some difference, sometimes the difference was so tiny that it's negligible to the eye.'
Anand Prakash Chouksey (R) and his son Kabir (Picture: Getty/AFP)
The family commissioned talented sculptors from the eastern state of West Bengal. Meanwhile, other artisans from across India also travelled to help complete the home.
The final build cost is estimated to be £195,000.

Chouksey and his wife Manju have been married for 27 years and she is said to be overcome with emotions at the gesture as the original landmark is known as a symbol of love.
The mini-Taj Mahal is now also open to visitors, just like its more famous counterpart.
However, you can only venture there during school hours.

Marine Life Park Focuses on Education, Interaction
By GERRY and PAMELA BARKER
Published May, 2019
Related: Food Tour, Sightseeing
ST. THOMAS_Some 20 minutes from the cruise docks, and adjacent to one of this island's most beautiful beaches for snorkeling, is Coral World Ocean Park. Situated on Coki Point, More than just another marine life park, it's home for citizens of land, sea and air.
On a recent visit, we got a tour of this picturesque facility. Our guide was Valerie Peters, Coral World's director of marketing.
While sustaining significant damage from the two hurricanes that raked the island in 2017, much has been restored, and what remains to be done won't hamper your enjoyment of what Coral World has to offer.
Initially opened in 1978, it has grown to become the island's top attraction, offering a variety of exhibits and interactive experiences. Our tour started at the imposing Undersea Observatory Tower. Flanked at the entrance by two turtle pools, it's three-story tower, half of which is under the sea.
Please join us and Valerie as we see what Coral World has to offer, including their newest and most ambitious attraction to date -- a Dolphin Sea Sanctuary.

The newest attraction -- the Dolphin Sea Sanctuary
The Sea Sanctuary is the park's most ambitious addition to date, housing four Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, moved to St. Thomas from Dolphinaris Arizona last February. Seven years in the planning, they note it's "the first of its kind to be opened that meets the federal government's Marine Mammal Protection Act and Animal Welfare Act requirements" and features a large swim space safely enclosed by a mesh barrier. "The sanctuary also includes several specially designated areas to facilitate animal healthcare and an area where dolphins can spend time away from other dolphins or guests if they choose. The habitat includes proactive safety measures including special liners and filtration systems that can be activated during natural or man-made emergencies."
Quoting from their press release: "After seven years of careful planning we are thrilled to welcome four dolphins to the Coral World family," said Lee Kellar, Coral World Ocean Park General Curator. "The dolphins will live in our newly developed St. Thomas Sea Sanctuary, a first-of-its-kind 69,000 square-foot ocean habitat that introduces the dolphins to a natural environment with the added advantage of being cared for by licensed veterinarians and dolphin experts who are dedicated to their health and wellbeing."
Guests can choose to participate in a "Dolphin Splash" -- a "unique, unscripted in-water encounter tailored for you." Valerie emphasized how it's really up to the dolphins whether they choose to interact or not. Just like people, they have their own moods, too.
Coral World Ocean Park has a gift shop, as well the Shark Bar and Grill. Admission to Coral World is $20 for adults, and $11 for children. Hours are 9 am to 4 pm, with doors closing at 3 pm.
Our thanks to Valerie Peters, left, and Keezi Pinney,
with the Virgin islands Dept. of Tourism, for their hospitality.

Q: SASS/Compass Math using dynamic width I have a container div of flexible width (90%). I would like its child div to always be 180px smaller than the parent, in terms of width.
I know this can be accomplished in JS but I'm trying to use as much CSS as possible. I have a feeling this is beyond what CSS can do, but wanted to be sure.
I want to get the width of the child (in px) and subtract 180px. Is that possible?
Markup:

SCSS:
#main {
  width: 90%;
  max-width: 1600px;

  .block {
    /* incorrect code: */
    width: WIDTH_OF_PARENT - 180px;
  }
}

A: The CSS calc() function has rather low support (particularly in mobile browsers).  If you want to maximize your browser support, use margins instead:
http://jsfiddle.net/CV5nb/
#main {
    width: 90%;
    max-width: 1600px;
}
.block {
    margin-left: 180px; /* or margin-left: 90px; margin-right: 90px */
}

A: To specifically answer your question, you can use calc
-webkit-calc(100% - 180px)
-moz-calc(100% - 180px)
calc(100% - 180px)

However, I'd recommend you use margin

A: Use the calc function in the css:
width: calc(100%-180px);

A: calc is the anwser: IE9+ : http://caniuse.com/calc
JSFiddle Demo
CSS

#main {
    margin:25px auto;
    width:90%;
    max-width:1200px;
    border:1px solid green;
    padding:10px;
}

.block {
    border:1px solid red;
    height:25px;
    width: calc(100% - 180px);
}

Probably advisable to use box-sizing:border-box to avoid confusion too.
NB. If the inner div is to be centered then a simple 90px side margin would work too: http://jsfiddle.net/Paulie_D/g2bFT/2/

Iginio Massari: Italy's most famous pastry chef
13 January 2019 /in News @en /by Basezero ADV
Italy's most famous pastry chef – in summary
Ignio Massari had fairly humble beginnings, as a worker in a bakery. Through hard work, patience and talent, he has risen to become Italy's most famous pastry chef. He is known throughout Italy, and across the world, thanks to the many awards he has received and his TV appearances.
Iginio Massari is undoubtedly Italy's most famous pasty chef across the globe. He first started on the path to excellence and fame at the age of sixteen, at a bakery in his home town of Brescia. Since then he has been the recipient of major awards and has become a familiar face on TV screens on shows such as MasterChef Italia.
Italy's most famous pastry chef – the beginning
The son of a cook and a canteen manager, Iginio grew up around food and started work at a local bakery when he was still a teenager. He then moved to Switzerland to learn about the art of being a pastry chef. On his return to Italy, Iginio overcame physical problems he had following a serious motorbike accident and continued on his way to becoming Italy's most famous pastry chef.
First patisserie and the World Cup of Pastry
After working and studying the art of pastry for many years, Iginio opened his first patisserie, Veneto in Brescia in 1971. This was a joint enterprise with his wife. Twenty-six years later, after many years of building his expertise, Iginio coached the Italian team that competed in the World Cup of Pastry. His many enterprises were recognised with the award of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista in Venice.
TV fame for Italy's most famous pastry chef
Ignio first achieved TV fame when appearing as a judge on MasterChef Italia. He also coached the participants in some of the challenges. Since then he has gone on to feature in shows such as Master pastry chef of France and Iginio Massari – The Sweetman program. These TV appearances have solidified his position as the most famous pasty chef in Italy.

You Might Have to Wait a Bit for a Blockbuster
By Staff | Aug 19, 2008
Bond. Twilight. The Earth Stands Still.
Those are just a few of the anticipated tent pole features Hollywood will serve up this fall, particularly in the Thanksgiving-Christmas season. Typically, fall films do not have the attendance clout of those in the summer, but at least you'll be virtually free of super heroes and all-action, little-story development scenarios.
Curtis McCall, president and CEO of Marquee Cinemas, does not forecast another blockbuster until "Quantum of Solace" (James Bond, Nov. 1), "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" (release postponed), "Twilight" (Dec. 12), and "Bolt," a 3D, CGI Disney computer-animated dog story featuring the voices of Miley Cyrus and John Travolta (Nov. 28).
McCall praised "Dark Knight" as the summer's best, but he doesn't see the new Batman flick surpassing all time leader "Titanic." After four weeks "Dark Knight" has crusaded into an awestruck $445 million. It would need $600 million to tie the shipwreck movie from 1997.
Still, "Dark Knight's" figures are at 2008 movie prices. The Web site Box Office Mojo calculates the highest grossing films and converts them to 2008 dollars. "Dark Knight" will have surpassed the 1987 Michael Keaton first "Batman" on the "adjusted" charts by the time you read this. But adjusting the dollars/admissions puts "Titanic" in the $908 million category. It's likely also to pass "Spiderman," which has an adjusted gross of $491 million.
What's on top? According to the Mojo, four films have amassed an equivalent of a billion dollar gross in their theatrical releases: "Gone With the Wind," "Star Wars," "The Sound of Music" and "E.T."
Back to fall, Marquee and other theatres with digital capacity will continue their experimentation with "niche" programming, such as opera, concerts and sporting events. Response has been "spotty" ranging from very good to average, but part of the strategy involves "getting the customer used to coming to your theatre for extra events," McCall said. This fall, you can, in his words, expect more "big games on the big screen, more concerts and more live events."
(Note: Release dates are tentative as of publication; not all films will play in all areas; films slated for a New York or Los Angeles only "limited" release are not included.)
AUG. 29:

Gum Turpentine
Breck Pappas
Even if you are lucky enough to stumble upon a "catface" tree in the woods of Alabama, chances are you probably wouldn't give it a second glance. With its disfigured and scarred trunk, the tree could easily be mistaken as the victim of a lightning strike or some crippling disease.
But catface trees, or what remains of them, are traces of the endeavors of man in his search for pinesap — all in the name of the turpentine industry and the flammable oil it produced. When a tree's bark was cut away, the freshly exposed wood was said to resemble the ears and face of a cat.
The turpentine industry belongs, for the most part, to a bygone era. But it's a time period that's left an indelible mark, not just on the trunks of our pine trees, but on Mobile County as a whole.
Turpentine is oil created by the distillation of tree resin. Although mostly derived from pine trees, the oil gets its name from the Greek word "terebinthine, " the name of a Mediterranean tree related to the pistachio that was an early source of turpentine.
AN ESSENTIAL OIL
There are countless practical uses for turpentine. In industry, the oil is used as a solvent for thinning oil-based paints and producing varnishes. In the early 1800s, it was also used in lamps as a cheap fuel alternative to whale oil. Medicinally, turpentine has been used since ancient times to heal wounds, treat lice, kill intestinal parasites, and soothe nasal and throat conditions. In fact, Vicks cold relief products still contain turpentine.
As expected, the early days of turpentine production were much more labor intensive than today's process. Workers began by cutting a box into the base of a pine tree in order to catch the tree's sap. Then a "streak" was chipped into the bark to channel sap (or "gum") into the box. The distillation process heated gum to a boil, after which operators would collect and condense the resulting vapor. Turpentine was then skimmed off the surface.
A NEW GENERATION
In the early 1950s, the growing pulpwood industry introduced a new process of turpentine production that is the primary method used today. During this process, turpentine is created by stewing chipped pine trunks in sulfuric acid to separate the cellulose from the rest of the wood material, successfully producing turpentine spirits. This development, among other factors, contributed to the demise of turpentine production as a separate, viable industry.
Our History in Turpentine
There's evidence of turpentine harvesting in Mobile County as early as 1777, but it didn't become a widespread practice until the technological advances of the 1840s. The southern part of the state, with its countless acres of pine forests, was particularly appealing to producers. Paired with Mobile's port, the turpentine industry thrived locally, as its byproducts were vital to shipbuilding.
The early years of the turpentine industry became synonymous with questionable labor practices. After the abolition of slavery, most laborers were unwilling to subject themselves to the grueling tasks of turpentine production. Eventually, operators began leasing convicts from Alabama prisons and luring immigrants with false promises of high working wages. It's said that the infamous Alabama outlaw Railroad Bill escaped from a turpentine camp.
Environmentally, early turpentine production threatened Alabama's pine forests. The traditional sap gathering method, if performed carelessly, could kill the host trees, wiping out large stands of pine trees in the process.
A 1901 story from the New York Times describes the burning of a Baldwin County turpentine camp as "the most horrible catastrophe in the history of Alabama." It's reported that 60 people perished in the fire, which started in the middle of the night while workers slept. The tragedy's lone survivor was said to have rowed naked across Mobile Bay the next day to recount his story.

In Northern Italia, in the actual ft around the world-famous Mont Blanc, the town of Courmayeur sits as being a quiet little old friend awaiting your return. Its breathtaking beauty and grandeur are extremely that whatever challenges you'd in wrestling over your Geneva airport terminal terminal ski transfers are useful. And when you're around to relish a weekend or perhaps days duration of gliding over its powder-fine snow and modern facilities, you should know Courmayeur is not about skiing-the town offers quite a bit more to supply knowing where one can look.
The Botanical Garden inside the Clouds
Self-known as the finest botanical garden in Europe (within the finish, nobody has received the courage to challenge claiming), the Giardino Botanica Alpino Saussurea is certainly a memorable destination through the warm several days when its various flora will be in full blossom (or at the best, not covered in metres of snow). Available at an altitude more than 2000 meters above sea level, it's highly accessible in the actual first station in the Mont Blanc cable vehicle that serves the location. For 8 or 9 several days yearly, however, going to this garden from your Geneva airport terminal terminal ski transfers might be less fascinating because the whole place is usually covered because four meters of snow! But nevertheless, you'll savor a fortunate perspective.
A Haven for your Culturati
Should you maintain Courmayeur in December, then you're fortunate: you can go to enjoy yourself playing the annual Courmayeur Noir Film Festival-a meeting that celebrates literature and noir films. You'll be able to go to the show festival from your Geneva airport terminal terminal ski transfers if you would like, to put you right in the heart of the knowledge. This December, the 22nd edition in the film and literature festival's theme is 'The Mafia and Us', because the movies to get screened start adding a number of Alfred Hitchcock's silver screen masterpieces. Inside the part of literature, you are able to take part in exploring John Katzenbach's (famous author of 'Hart's War', which was converted to a Bruce Willis movie in 2002) 'The Wrong Man', combined with the exceptional operates by other literary luminaries for instance Kate manley ('The Pleasures of Men'), Roberto Costantini and Massimo Carlotto.
A Skier's Paradise
Clearly, any discussion of many advantages of Courmayeur would not be filled with no usual bated-breath description of the pure beauty that's just well suited for skiing. Courmayeur's various skiing options (a number of these options absolutely fantastic and available all year round) are produced a lot more attractive by the simplicity the Geneva airport terminal terminal ski transfers which gets you here. And also, since skiers will need some pampering within the finish throughout the day, there's the famous thermal baths in the Thermes de Pre Sant-Didier, located only a few kilometers south in the town and overlooking Mount Blanc. Additionally, there are a lot of great dining establishments and bars that are open till shortly before bedtime or even the next morning, such as the much visited Le Prive, the Le Coquelicot or perhaps the Zerotta.

Q: Error running this fork code in my eclipse, and also have some concept confusion around this code So this a simple C code on Fork that my professor gave us, I'm trying to get the output for this code, but when I tried to run in eclipse I get the following error:
Info: Internal Builder is used for build
gcc -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -o ForkDemo1.o "..\\ForkDemo1.c"
..\ForkDemo1.c: In function 'main':
..\ForkDemo1.c:18:1: warning: implicit declaration of function 'fork' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
 if( (pid = fork()) = -1) {
 ^
..\ForkDemo1.c:18:20: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
 if( (pid = fork()) = -1) {

But my basic confusion around this code is: what is pid_t pid's value? is it 11 or 10, is it creating a child from parent?
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int global = 10;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

int local = 0;
pid_t pid;

printf("Parent process: (Before fork())");
printf(" local = %d, global = %d \n", local, global);

if( (pid = fork()) = -1) {
perror("fork");
exit(1);
}
else if (0 == pid) {

/* child executes this branch */
printf("After the fork in the child:");
local++;
global++;
printf("local = %d, global  = %d\n", local, global);
} else {
/* parent execute this branch */

sleep(2); /* sleep long enough for child's output to appear */
}

/* both process excute this print statement */
printf("pid = %d. local = %d, global = %d\n", getpid(), local, global);

return 0;
}

A: Change this:
if( (pid = fork()) = -1) {

to this:
if( (pid = fork()) == -1) {

As for the warning about implicit declaration of fork, it might happen if you work in Windows OS and using a gcc toolchain for MinGW, which is providing unistd.h but not implementing fork. In such a case you should switch to another environment. Ideally - Linux, but you can also use gcc for Cygwin, which is providing fork

I just wanted to tell you about a nice little special effect I created earlier this week. It's a very light weight "God Ray" effect, allowing to add the kind of light situation you've got underwater or in a forest when the sun stands low.
That looks great, Daniel! Good work.
Can I make the lamp glow with this effect?
Awesome, I think I will use this in my game.
@denisgladkiy Well, the rays are distributed over a wide area, so it's not perfect for lamps, i.e. point lights. You could modify it for your needs, though. If you look at the actual code, what's responsible for the rays is a perlin noise texture that's created at runtime. If you modify that so that it fades to black on the left and right, you could achieve a more point-lighty effect. It's really just the texture creation you have to modify (or replace that with a pre-baked texture); the rest of the code stays the same.
