Wow, I don't even know what to say here... As the Refuge Manager I am ultimately in charge of all aspects of the refuge planning, development and operation. My job has changed dramatically in the past couple years as I have moved from a 1 person refuge staff to an incredible 8 person refuge team. The biggest part of my job is to support my staff in accomplishing projects that get us closer to our shared vision for Valle de Oro NWR. What I love about my job- I love the variety in my job. I get to do a little bit of everything and each day or even each hour is different. I also really love watching this refuge grow up before my eyes and seeing all the people, especially community members, partners and our staff, who love and support it.
I work to build and mountain strong relationships between Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge and its diverse network of partners. I also recruit and process new volunteers and coordinate projects for our various youth corps. I see my position as a wonderful opportunity to share conservation and love of the outdoors with new people! Fun fact: The best part of my job is working with youth. I'm energized when young people get inspired to help the Earth!
As the Biologist for Valle de Oro NWR, I am the lead for the biological program at the refuge. My duty is to conduct biological surveys on the refuge, manage and plan habitats, and oversee restoration efforts. Therefore, I am the main point of contact for biological/habitat projects, citizen science, research, and/or biological information on the refuge so that biological activities done on the refuge relate back to the refuge's missions and visions and help inform refuge management.
As a park ranger, I work closely with refuge staff and partners to deliver a variety of educational curriculums, table at partner events, help plan and coordinate refuge events and manage contests such as the Junior Duck Stamp Contest and our Annual Photography contest. Fun Fact: I started my work here at Valle de Oro as a member of a Rocky Mountain Youth Corps crew. I then became an intern through the Student Conservation Association helping with education programming, and now I am a Park Ranger. I am grateful that I have had so many amazing learning experiences here at the refuge and I enjoy watching it grow and develop. I enjoy gardening, playing the baritone and my favorite animal is a goat.
As the Deputy, I run the day to day operations on the Refuge. Serve as a resource for staff, volunteers, interns, partners and visitors. I joined the Fish and Wildlife Service as an Student Conservation Association intern in 2009. Since then I have been fortunate to go duck banding on airboats, meet the Secretary of the Interior, help people enjoy nature, restore grassland and wetland habitat, work with amazing volunteers and partners and learn so much along the way. I am happy to help make a positive difference here at Valle de Oro NWR.
Hello! I am Melanie Dabovich, Administrative Officer for Valle de Oro NWR. My position is shared with Sevilleta NWR near Socorro, NM. I take care of the business and administrative functions at the refuge, such as budget tracking, purchasing, contracts, agreements, property and financial procedures. I also greet visitors at the Visitors Center house at the refuge and answer calls from the public. I've been with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for almost 9 years, working previously in the programs of External Affairs, Science Applications and Fish and Aquatic Resources. My background is in journalism and public relations, and my family has lived in Albuquerque's South Valley for generations. As a life-long angler and outdoorswoman in New Mexico, I am thrilled to share my passion for conservation with others and to give my young daughter an exposure to and appreciation of the natural world.
I am the education and visitor service lead at the Valle de Oro NWR. I work with staff, interns, volunteers and partners to develop and deliver a variety of education and interpretation opportunities on and off site of the Refuge. I grew up in the South Valley and love the opportunity to give back to the community I grew up in. I love bird watching, gardening with my family, mushroom hunting and my little heeler pup Freckles.


Great tips on makeup application. I love watching tutorials. It's like you have a teacher in the privacy of your own home. And you can rewind and pause over and over again. Which for me, is most important. And of course it's fun, because you are learning & experimenting all at once. It's a win win deal in my opinion.

The Rhetoric of Change
Lin, Christina Y. (2017) The Rhetoric of Change. Other, California Institute of Technology. doi:10.7907/1DSH-MQ66. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechTHESIS:05242017-164142935
The early 20th century saw a plethora of declarations, proclamations, and calls to arms for change in China. Some authors, such as Mao Zedong, represented prominent political movements, while others, like Lu Xun, expressed their ideas in passing through a preface to a collection of short stories. Among these writers, some take a practical approach, reflecting a belief that revolution begins with concrete, tangible changes that will improve the lives of the common man. Others favor ideological appeal based on the assumption that true change comes from a fundamental shift in political structure or mindset. Each writer arrives at a rhetorical strategy based on whether he prioritizes unifying the people or inspiring a strong, independent China.

Q: PL/SQL Initiate a multi-timensional array INDEX BY VARCHAR2 I have the following code which works just fine in building a 2D array indexed by VARCHAR2.  But I have a question about how I would instantiate the top-level array with an "empty" second level array.  (See the comments in the code.)
The only way I've found to instantiate the initial array (inside the Add() procedure) is to declare a dummy variable (which is itself an empty array), and assign it to the top-level array:
DECLARE

   TYPE pt_array  IS TABLE OF number   INDEX BY VARCHAR2(25);
   TYPE prj_array IS TABLE OF pt_array INDEX BY VARCHAR2(25);

   pt_array_ pt_array;
   pj_array_ prj_array;

   PROCEDURE Add (
      act_  IN VARCHAR2,
      pt_   IN VARCHAR2,
      val_  IN NUMBER )
   IS
      dummy_empty_array pt_array; -- initiate a dummy variable
   BEGIN
      IF not pj_array_.EXISTS(act_) THEN
         pj_array_(act_) := dummy_empty_array; -- can I initiate here without having to declare a variable?
      END IF;
      IF not pj_array_(act_).EXISTS(pt_) THEN
         pj_array_(act_)(pt_) := val_;
      END IF;
   END Add;

BEGIN
   Add ('A', '123', 1);
   Add ('A', '456', 1);
   Add ('B', '456', 1);
END;

Most languages offer the ability to assign an anonymous array when required (i.e. without having to define an intermittent variable).  For example, in Javascript you'd just do x = [];.  But I haven't found a way to do this in PL/SQL.
I've tried various different syntaxes, one obvious example being the following (which errors at compile time with "no function with name 'PT_ARRAY' exists"):
    pj_array_(act_) := pt_array();

Also, the concept of using keyword EXTEND doesn't apply if you're declaring you array/tables with an INDEX BY clause.
So my question is whether it's possible to write this code (i.e. to initiate the empty array) without the dummy variable?

Wildcats extend home record to 3-0 with win over EWU
November 27, 2014 by Collin Thompson
The women's basketball team defeated the Eastern Washington University Eagles, 79-72, Monday carried by double-digit scoring performances from four different players.
More than 700 showed up to Moody Coliseum to watch as EWU gave the team a real challenge but came out on top. The Wildcats are 2-0 this season, outscoring their opponents by an average of 34.5 points a game so far.
"This was one of the biggest Div. I wins in our program," said Julie Goodenough, head coach. "They gave us all we could handle tonight. They're very well-coached, very skilled basketball players, so this was significant win for our team."
The Wildcats were able to out-rebound the Eagles, 43-31, in their first game back at home after being physically worn and out-rebounded in their loss against University of Texas at San Antonio, 70-57.
"We absolutely got beat up by UTSA last week and a lot of it was on the boards, so that was an emphasis in preparing for this game," Goodenough said. "We knew that we could not give this team second-chance points because they're such a prolific scoring team; they have really good scoring weapons, so we knew that it had to be one shot and done and our players did a great job of that. Rebounding was a huge emphasis going into this game and we knew that that would have to be a battle that we won tonight if we wanted to end up with the win."
The game was close throughout with the Wildcats extending their lead to 12 near the middle of the first half and the Eagles reaching as far as six points ahead five minutes into the second half, but the Wildcats wouldn't relinquish their lead near the end of the second half, going 10-2 in the final 3:28 to secure the win.
"We had a little bit of adversity; we had a few tough calls and I'm telling you, Moody erupted," Goodenough said. "They felt like we were being mistreated a little bit and it really energized our team. Our team started getting defensive stops and just scoring at will in transition, and the Moody crowd was fired up and the energy from the crowd tonight really ignited our team in the last four minutes of the game. It was just phenomenal. It gives you a huge home court advantage when the fans get behind you like that."
Goodenough said she was impressed how the team moved around the ball throughout the game and got every ballplayer involved in the win.
"It was a very great team effort tonight," she said. "Every player that came in off the bench did exactly what we needed them to do."

The Bank of England Governor, Mark Carney will be speaking later this afternoon at 15:30 GMT. Carney is expected to testify before the UK's House of Lords of Economic Affairs Committee. The BoE Governor will most likely be quizzed about the inflation which has overshot the central bank's 2% target rate.
Besides inflation, other topics that could come up include the recent wage data and the UK's GDP growth. The central bank was pessimistic on the GDP data noting that the UK's fourth quarter GDP could remain around 0.4%.
However, actual data released last week showed that the UK's economy advanced 0.5% and fared slightly better than expected. The gains came as the UK's manufacturing sector managed to rebound while the economy was also supported by a stronger services sector. Construction activity continued to remain sluggish.
The recent inflation data showed that the UK's consumer prices rose at a slower pace of 3.0%. This was below November's consumer price rate of 3.1%. Despite the weaker pace of increase, inflation remains well anchored above the BoE's 2.0% target rate. The central bank had hiked interest rates in November last year. The recent decline in inflation could give the BoE officials some more time before hiking rates again.
The testimony from BoE Carney today can also shed light on what the central bank will do next week. The BoE will be holding its monetary policy meeting next week. No changes are expected to the interest rates and the central bank's asset purchase program. However, focus will shift to the forward guidance on when the BoE will hike rates next.
Based on the above, today's binary options signal is GBPJPY. The currency pair looks to have formed a top last week as the British pound eased against the Japanese yen. We expect that the declines will continue in the near term.
Therefore, we are looking to purchase daily PUT options at 152.84 for a 21:00 GMT expiry time. The modest retracement on an intraday basis will eventually see GBPJPY closing lower on the day.

Q: Why python don't write anything into a dictionary? I'm creating a program that saves his infos as encoded infos using a method that I created.
Basically when I start the program it creates two variables,

*

*one is the alphabet (uppercase, lowercase, digits, ...)

*the other is the exact same except that I use a random.shuffle() to randomize it.

That's the "key" to a "key" I give it a random number using random.randint(1000000000,9999999999) and this number I call it the name of the "key".
All the keys and theirs name are stored in a file.
In the program you have the opportunity to write something like a name, that name is going to be encrypted using the key that is generated when I start the program, then stored in a file along with the name of the key.
(Note that the keys always have a different name, the encrypted data may has been encrypted using many times the same key then stored in another file).
I read from the key file first

{NOTE: the keys are stored using a \n pattern, example
  file.write(f'{key}\n{key_name}\n') }

using my method the length will always be divisible for 2 so I use a variable initialized before the for cycle and increase it along with the cycle, meanwhile I use that same variable to read from the list (the result of reading the key file) and assign a name to a key, example:
{4819572: 'varoabIfokdbKjs3918', 40101846: 'opqihduqv', 8291073: 'hqowirhwip', ...}

My keys are 354 chars long so those are a really small example.
Here is the code described above
sep = os.sep
Ot = platform.system()
file_name = os.path.basename(__file__)
path_to_file = __file__.replace(file_name, '')

with open(f'{path_to_file}database{sep}history.dll', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
    keys = file.readlines()

num = 0
archive = {}
for _ in range(int(len(keys)/2)):
    key_name = str(keys[num+1]).replace('\n','')
    key = str(keys[num]).replace('\n','')
    archive[int(key_name)] = key
    num =+ 2
num1 = 0
num2 = 0

After this I use the key_name to get the key which is used in a decrypt function along with the encrypted text.
The problem is that even if I have 16 keys in the dictionary there are only 2. I really don't know how to resolve this or why this is appending.

A: You have writen "num =+ 2", I think you wanted write "num += 2"

I used to love politics. What went wrong?
I used to love politics. I mean really love it. The cut and thrust of debate, the incredulity I felt when someone didn't agree with my particular point of view, the battle of ideas. Oh the ideas! That was at the heart of it. Even when I was a teenager and, to be completely frank, some of the ideas my friends and I debated were both awful and probably quite offensive, it didn't matter. We relished the conversation, we learnt from it and it inspired us all to a greater or lesser extent towards our future lives and achievements.
We were lucky. We grew up at a time of big ideas in politics. I was born 14 months before Margaret Thatcher was appointed Prime Minister. I remember the miners strike being called-off on my 7th birthday in 1985. In my first general election as a voter Tony Blair won in a landslide. It was a time when politics mattered – big issues being debated by towering figures – Heseltine, Williams, Benn, Healey, Owen, Major. Well OK, maybe not Major, but you get my drift.
What do today's young people think of politics I wonder? If the 56% of 18-24 year olds who chose not to vote in 2010 are anything to go by – not much. And who can blame them?
We are consuming resources faster than our planet can replenish them, whether it be energy or food, at the same time our choices mean we are slowly (but certainly) heating up our planet with potentially ruinous consequences.
Our National Health Service is creaking at the seams, unable to cope with the numbers of patients or the complexity of their conditions, whilst at the same time consuming ever more of GDP.
We have an education system that was designed for a different era, an era where conformity and facts ruled and competition for jobs came from amongst your classmates, not from a globally mobile labour force.
People are living longer, but still retiring broadly at the same age. What is more, they are having fewer children to support them.
The world is experiencing the highest levels of wealth inequality in human history. The richest 80 people on the planet have the same combined wealth as the bottom 3.5billion; by 2016 it is estimated the richest 1% will hold more wealth than the other 99%.
Oh, and we are still working our way through the most significant financial crisis of modern times.
Historically these kind of challenges would have thrown up leaders who could inspire and engage the public, working with them to generate the big ideas required to meet the challenges we face. But what do we have instead?
The environment and food security almost non-existent on the political agenda, as if only something to be discussed during the economic good-times.
A fight over the Health Service on who will cut the least, battles over a few thousand nurses and doctors, but no attempt to even begin the much more challenging and needed debate of what our future health service might look like and, crucially, how we will pay for it.
Squabbling over what books our children should or shouldn't read, micro-managing teachers and ladening with debt those young people who want to better themselves (and society) through higher education whilst making no attempt to imagine the education system of the future – one that understands that children are individualss and puts creativity and the ability to find, process and apply knowledge above that of rote-learning and the repetition of facts.
Meanwhile, whilst working families struggle and the poor are increasingly demonised by politicians from all sides, doing anything that might impact on older people has become a political bete-noire. Pensions are triple-locked, the winter fuel-allowance and free-travel are given to all (tax-free) regardless of need.
Despite all the evidence that says inequality is bad, not just for the poorest in society but for everyone (if you haven't already, the Spirit Level is a must read book), any attempt to redistribute that wealth, whether a mansion tax or any other form of wealth tax is derided as both communist and just too difficult. At the same time, any call for businesses to pay a living wage is immediately rejected as anti-business – as if somehow it should no-longer be a business's responsibility to pay their workers enough to do simple things like heat their home or put food on their table. Instead the responsibility falls on other tax-payers who are, in effect, handing a multi-billion pound subsidy to businesses every year.
Despite all this, I will trudge to my local church come election day, put a cross next to the name of my local labour candidate, and post it in the ballot box. But I'll do it because I have always voted and my parents have always voted – it is a sense of duty that I can't quite shake rather than any enthusiasm for the agenda of any of the major parties. For those that say I could vote for another party, why would I? I live in a straight two-way marginal and, all things being equal, I'd rather Labour than Tory.
Our political system is fundamentally broken (as are many of our individual representatives) and currently there is little hope of it being fixed.
In most industries there are disrupters, start-ups and fringe businesses that challenge the business models of their larger competitors and ultimately shift the way business is done. Think of what Aldi and Lidl have done to the big-4 supermarkets, what the iPod did for the way we listen to music (and, in turn, how services like Spotify are reinventing it again), or what services like Twitter and Facebook have done for the way we consume news and other media.
Disrupters exist in politics too, The Green Party, The People's Assembly, even UKIP (if that is the kind of thing you like) are all trying to disrupt the way we approach and do politics. The problem is the price of entry is just too high, even those who do make progress in the short-term tend to fall-back over time. Look at the SDP in the 1980's and I am sure the same will happen with UKIP post 2015. This leaves us with a straight choice between the Tories and Labour and an inevitable focus on a few thousand voters in a few dozen swing-seats and with it a drive to the centre, small c conservatism and the status quo.
Until there is a fundamental overhaul of the political system, an end to first-past-the-post, an embracing of more direct and local democracy and a change in how politics is delivered (more equality, less pantomime performances for example), this is how it will continue. Year after year, election after election fewer and fewer will bother to trudge those few steps to the polling-station, preferring to stay away and make a silent protest of non-engagement.
And until politicians understand this who can blame those who choose to stay away?
Philip Gould was the unsung hero of New Labour. Possessing a unique understanding of people, he was able to get to the heart of their hopes, fears and aspirations. The intelligence he gathered from polls and focus groups was utterly crucial to the project both in terms of presentation and policy.
When I die is his personal account of his battle with Cancer. A battle he tragically lost. Far from being depressing however (though, take it from me, it is not something to read on the tube) this is an uplifting and inspiring book full of hope and promise.
By choosing to accept that death will come to him Gould releases both himself and those around him, making their final weeks together ones of joy and intimacy rather than despair and solitude.
Perhaps most impressive is that first him then, in his final days, his daughter manage to capture every moment and emotion in words so that we can share in it.
There has been a flurry of activity surrounding Tony Blair over the last few days to mark the 5year anniversary of his departure from Downing Street. It has got me reflecting about just how good a politician he really was, whether any of the current generation have his potential and if not, why not?
First, if it is not already obvious, I am a fan. It was Tony Blair that gave me that final reason to join the Labour party back in the mid-nineties and, since his departure, it is a party I have generally felt less comfortable in. Some of it was his policies – major reforms to health and education that only a centrist from a Labour background could have hoped to succeed in; an aggressive equality agenda; a global view based on the spread of democracy and active engagement when humanitarian needs demanded it (not to mention the massive expansion in the international development budget). In short, the third-way was what was needed for the country and that is what Blair delivered.
Less tangible but perhaps more significant were his leadership qualities, of which he had in abundance. Whether it was the death of Diana, Kosovo or 9/11 he had a knack for understanding the public mood. He also understood the dangers of a political vacuum and, if no-one else could, would quickly step in to fill it. This was particularly important in the hours, days and weeks following 9/11 where America felt isolated and therefore unpredictable and the rest of the world unsure how to act, it is no understatement to say that during that time Tony Blair held together a global peace.
That is not to say I liked everything he did, far from it – Iraq as in for many on the left was a cause of angst and something I couldn't and didn't support. That said, I never doubted his belief that it was the right thing to do, and that is third important trait – the belief and confidence that what you are doing is right. Politics, particularly at the highest level is rarely about absolute rights and wrongs, it is about judgement. Once you have made up your mind you have to have the desire and belief to see it through.
So how do the current crop compare? Tony Blair said in his interview with the Evening Standard yesterday 'there are two types of leaders – reality managers and reality creators. Mostly it is adequate to have reality managers but now we need leaders who can create reality'. Judged against that we are not faring well. Despite what I sometimes write, there is no evidence that Cameron is inherently evil, but he is just adequate – and that just isn't good enough such uncertain times. Sadly he is not alone, there are very few, if any on either front bench who have that desire, vision and belief that is required to simultaneously take on challenges like the banking crisis, the arab-spring, health, education, the Olympics and much more. The only names who come to mind with even the potential are Gove for the Tories or Umunna for Labour. Both at least have intellect and belief in abundance.
Why so few heavyweights? I think the answer is three-fold.
First, selection for either of the main parties benefits two groups of people far too much – ultra-loyalists and special advisors/those within the political machine. There is nothing wrong with being loyal of course, but I would far rather have an MP who has the power of free-thought and rebels from time to time than one who slavishly holds party line at all costs (just look at how many 'loyal' Conservative MPs looked ridiculous following the fuel duty u-turn earlier this week).
Secondly, age. Has anyone else noticed how just as the average age of the population is increasing, the age of MPs and ministers is tumbling? I am all for the 'if you are good enough, you are old enough' philosophy, but as I mentioned earlier great leadership is about judgement and that almost always comes with experience. This also links to the first point and the shallowness of the pool for potential candidates. It is now a well-trodden path to cabinet – good school, PPE or similar at University, parliamentary assistant, special advisor, a couple of years on the backbencher and then a junior ministerial role before graduating to cabinet. Where are the teachers, doctors, nurses, business leaders in all this?
Thirdly and finally, the power of the whips has just become too strong – so even if you have made it through the first two, you are unlikely to get past the third with your reforming zeal and dignity still in tact. Like Big Brother in 1984, you'll have every bit of independence squeezed out of you until you become fully assimilated into the party machine. Great for party unity, bad for politics.
And so, depressingly, fear we will have to wait a long time until we see another Blair and perhaps even longer until we see one surrounded by other strong Ministers. On the other hands Blair did say he would like to return to office….
Michael Gove this week announced the biggest shake-up of secondary education in a generation. Should his policies ultimately succeed then GCSE's will be consigned to the bin, being replaced instead by a revamped system of 'O' Levels and CSE's.
The way he announced it; allowing the reforms to be leaked to a very sympathetic Daily Mail before they had been discussed at cabinet, let alone parliament, is instructive in itself. It put Labour on the back foot, entrenching them into an 'old-Labour' ideological position whilst simultaneously emboldening parliamentary Conservatives and forcing Cameron to back reforms that are possibly too 'old-Tory' even for him. The Lib-Dems meanwhile continue to be confused – the leadership know the grassroots oppose any move towards a two-tier examination system, but understand that for the sake of the coalition and their immediate political future they cannot oppose it too much. In all the hype it is easy for Labour types like myself to disregard Gove and his policies as nothing more than nostalgic elitism but that would miss the point, and leave generations of kids worse off.
Labour's track record in government was good but it was also unfinished, particularly when it came to secondary education. True, Academies had just started to take-off, breathing life into some of the country's worst schools, but still too many talented pupils were able to coast, whilst those at the bottom were frequently not entered for traditional GCSEs for fear of the detrimental impact they may have on league tables. Meanwhile the competition between exam boards led to corruption and the perverse situation where those offering the easiest papers were at a commercial advantage. Finally, GCSEs have lost the confidence of many employers. None of this is to blame teachers or pupils, who I honestly believe work harder now than ever to attain the best possible grades. But to continue with a system that has so clearly had its time fails them perhaps more than anyone.
I actually agree with Gove on a couple of things – we should end intra-subject competition between different exam boards and papers should regularly be independently verified to ensure standards year-on-year remain consistently high.It is also fair to argue that too many pupils are gaining top-grades – that is not necessarily an admission they are easier than in previous generations, more that teaching has become more sophisticated and pupils are working harder, nonetheless any future exam system needs to be able to push the most able as much as it does the least. That said, a two-tier examination system that effectively limits a child's ambition at the age of 13 or 14 is, to borrow a phrase from the PM, morally repugnant.
Instead, I believe we need to look across the continent for inspiration, delivering more broad-based education for longer with final assessments in english, maths, the sciences, arts, humanities and a language. The resultant qualification being similar to a 'junior' baccalaureate. From here students have a choice to carry on and study for a full 'baccalaureate' (or whatever we might choose to call our version) or to complete a vocational equivalent. Either way, all 16-18 year olds would stay in either full-time education or training.
Sadly, because of the nature of Gove's leak and the resultant political positioning it is unlikely we will see the wider public debate and resultant policy in 11-18 education that is so desperately needed. Instead we are likely to see another generation unable to reach its full potential.
Ed – Slowly but surely he is coming good.
If this was The West Wing you might say that Ed Miliband has the Mo. Well maybe just the M, or perhaps half an M. Whatever you want to call it Ed is beginning to look a little more at home as leader, and the public are responding.
His slow and thoughtful approach to politics, which for the first year of his leadership was deemed a potentially fatal hindrance, now compares favourably to the lightweight Cameron. This bears out in the polls where, not only have Labour held a fairly consistent lead in the last few months, Miliband has overtaken Cameron in terms of popularity.
There is no doubt he has been helped by a Coalition seemingly intent on destroying itself – but he should be given some credit for this too. Better strategy has meant, bar a few shrill moments, he has been more decisive and effective in attack – not allowing Cameron to wriggle out of trouble as he so often did before.
Credit too should go to his frontbench team, particularly the power-duo that is Balls and Cooper. Balls cut Osborne's austerity budget to shreds and made one of the Tory's biggest assets look weak, out-of-touch and out of ideas. His unswerving message of growth and gentler passage out of deficit means Labour have earned the right to be listened to again. Cooper meanwhile has done the political equivalent of taking May out back and giving her a shoeing. Law and order was once a banker for Conservative ministers – not any more.
Six months ago the resignation of a shadow cabinet minister would have led to abject panic. Today we saw a confident Ed Miliband make a couple of minor tweaks plus the very smart promotion of John Cruddas – a guy liked and respected across the party, whether left or right, Blair or Brown. That he didn't feel the need to replace Hain with another 'big-beast' shows just how far he has come.
There are still lots of challenges ahead – Labour fell just short of the magic 40% in the May elections. turnout was also worryingly though, ,waning that whilst the public don't like Cameron and Co. they are yet to be convinced by Ed and his team. As Ed himself noted at the recent Progress conference, he and the rest of the party now have a job of work to do to engage all those registered voters who decided to stay at home. He also needs to start articulating a vision of a future Labour government in policy terms. The country is inclined to listen, so now is the time to start the conversation.
That said, it has been a long-time since Labour were in such a promising position and, like it not, it is Ed Miliband who has put us there. Slowly but surely he is coming good.
It is far too early to judge the significance of the local election results but, as of 7am on Friday morning, here are my early thoughts.
Labour have had a good night, whatever way you spin it a projected gain of 700 seats is not to be sneezed at. More importantly Ed M can point to gains in places like Harlow as evidence that Labour are able to at least compete in the South again. It is not a watershed moment and they will be disappointed if the share of the vote stays under the magic 40% mark. This gives Ed some breathing space to carry on with his 'slowly but surely' strategy and means they have earned the right to be heard again – a vital first step for any longer-term recovery. The disappointing result in the London Mayoral race announced later today will not be blamed on Ed or his team (in fact it arguably makes him look more of an electoral asset) and is unlikely to take the shine of his first real electoral success.
Although it was a bad night for Lib-Dems, I don't think they will be too disappointed. The ongoing slide in the opinion polls has not borne fruit, with their vote actually holding up well compared to last year. Their biggest problem is, due to the peculiarities of our voting system, even small fluctuations in the share of the national vote have the potential to destroy them come General Election time. They have pinned their hopes on a significant economic upturn by 2015 and all the goodwill that comes with it, now all they can do is wait.
For the Tories this is a shocker, the leadership may have 'priced in' this scale of loss, but that is no consolation for the hundreds of ousted Tory councillors who feel the government has no guiding vision, no plan for growth and has become detached from its Tory roots. Better news to come for them later when Boris is returned as London Mayor – this is a poisoned chalice for the leadership though. How is it Boris can be so popular when Cameron, to put it mildly, isn't? How come Boris looks like a heavyweight when Cameron, to put it mildly, isn't? How come Boris has a mission when Cameron, to put it mildly doesn't? Expect an angry and rejuvenated right-wing of the Tory party to put real pressure on the Cameroon both pre and post the upcoming Queen's Speech.
All of this however will be overshadowed the the terrible turnout. Less than a third of people managed to get to their polling stations and put an X in a box. I haven't really got my head round what this means yet – expect that it is bad for democracy and shows political parties continue to be detached from the people they purportedly represent. This probably deserves a post of its own, so I'll have a think and get back to you.
Will try and write later once the dust has settled and the Mayoral results have been announced.
It snowed last weekend, and I mean snowed. But more of that in a moment. At 3:40am on Sunday morning Charlotte woke me with the slightly delayed words 'I think my waters have broken'. It stirred in me a mixture of excited anticipation and relief – we were after all nine days overdue. Our first labour had been a shade under four hours, quick by first-time standards, but not alarmingly so. I woke Carol and Piers (my in-laws) and phoned my own parents, then put the coffee machine on; it could be a long night.
The first inkling that things might not go entirely to plan was when Piers and I went to get the car. The moment we stepped outside our shoes sunk down into the four inches of newly fallen snow, the car was going nowhere. A sense of hope not really bedded in any reality led us to the porters lodge to see if they had a solution. Whilst Piers was chatting to Howard I noticed a car stuck in the snow and went over to help. After a fashion we managed to get the car moving again, as thanks the driver kindly offered us a lift to hospital. It only took a quick look towards Piers before we both politely declined. It was time to call an ambulance.
When I got back up to the flat it was apparent Charlotte's labour had progressed. She was in a lot of pain, but dealing with it in her normal stoic way. It reminded me just how amazing it all is – she could be shouting out in pain one moment and then able to hold a perfectly normal conversation the next. At this point I still assumed we would be having the baby in hospital, however two things quickly disabused me of this. First, Charlotte announced that, in the last seven minutes, she'd had three contractions. Second, in response the ambulance call-handler (who stayed on the line throughout) very calmly but assertively told me to get her somewhere comfortable, get some towels (it turns out you do need them) and check 'if you can see the head'. Thankfully it was all clear, but equally clear was that it wouldn't be long until I could. I handed the phone to Carol and got ready to deliver a baby.
Lots of people over the last week have asked how I felt at this point. The answer always seems to disappoint. I felt remarkably calm – I knew I had to take control of the situation and be able to make decisions on Charlotte's behalf, allowing her to focus solely on the childbirth. This much we had already agreed in our birth plan (though that had assumed a midwife might also be there to help out a little). It sounds strange now, but my overwhelming feeling was that it was no big deal – she had chosen now to enter the world, all I had to do was guide her out. What's more we were in a safe, warm environment and an ambulance was on its way. Things could have been a lot worse.
And so the time had come. After two contractions where Charlotte had resisted the urge to push on the third I told her to let go and push as hard as she could – what felt like seconds later I could first feel and then see a little head as it emerged to join us. There was a small moment of private panic when I thought the cord was stuck round her neck, it was just a hand, temporarily trapped by her shoulder. There was a moments pause as Charlotte caught her breath and then, with a final heave she was out and in my arms. We wrapped her up, placed her in her mothers arms and waiting for the pros to arrive. Our work here was done.
Writing a week after the event, there are a couple of things that don't quite fit into the narrative of the story – the first is my sheer admiration and love for my wife. It is impossible to imagine the feelings and emotions that must have been coursing through her as first plan A, then plan B were torn-up before her eyes. Yet she never showed the slightest bit of panic and dealt with everything as if it was entirely routine. Even better she made us the perfect baby girl. I should also thank Carol and Piers who not only allowed us to turn their beautiful home into a temporary birthing centre but also supported us in the whole thing with a contagious sense of calm.
There is nothing to compare to the pride you feel on becoming a new father, and this doesn't diminish second time around, The emotion that comes with being the first person to hold your baby and to have actually delivered her into the world is however off-the-scale. Even as I look at her feeding now, I can't quite believe that it happened. It is a night that will never leave me, and one that I am sure will haunt Alba as I bore first her and then her friends recounting the tale for many years to come.


Lisbon is the Capital of Portugal and has been awarded world heritage status. The City is vibrant and steeped in history, from the plazas to the monuments and of course no visit is complete without a ride on the trams. But the Lisboa region is not just one city, take a tram to one of the many beaches and coastal resorts such as Caiscas or visit one of the many palaces such as the whimsical Quinta da Regaleira, in Sintra.
Immediately south of Lisbon is the Setubal region with fine grained beaches with crystal clear blue waters. But if it is nightlife you are looking for then head back to the city and visit one of the many bars and clubs or for the major music lovers one of the many festivals in the area such as the 3 day Lisboa NOS Alive festival held by the beach. Lisbon really is the city for every body……….

About Miloš: Firmly positioned as a leading exponent of his instrument, Miloš has appeared in some of the most important concert halls and at major festivals around the world, including with the Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, LA Philharmonic, and Cleveland Orchestra.
His first three releases on Deutsche Grammophon achieved chart-topping successes around the globe and turned him into "classical music's guitar hero" (BBC Music Magazine) overnight. His recording of Rodrigo's concerto with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the London Philharmonic had the Sunday Times calling him "The King of Aranjuez", while his record, Blackbird–The Beatles Album — including duets with Gregory Porter, Tori Amos, Steven Isserlis, and Anoushka Shankar – was released to unanimous praise. Miloš' 2019 album, Sound of Silence, joined his previous albums, in reaching No. 1 on the UK Classical charts, and on Amazon.
Miloš is the first ever classical guitarist to have performed in solo recital at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Guardian commenting: "More extraordinary by far was the way a single guitarist could shrink the Hall's cavernous space into something so close." The Independent concluded: "not only a magician, but a serious and accomplished musician".
In August 2018 Miloš made a triumphant return to the hall. In front of 6000 people at the BBC Proms, he performed the world premiere of Joby Talbot's guitar concerto, Ink Dark Moon written especially for him, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Future performances include the Atlanta Symphony with the Talbot, a coast to coast tour of the U.S. with 'Voice of the Guitar', Miloš' personally curated program of works from Bach to the Beatles with the 12 Ensemble and solo recitals in many of the world's great halls.
Committed to commissioning new repertoire for the guitar, Miloš joined the NAC Orchestra in Ottawa in May 2019 to perform the world premiere of The Forest by Howard Shore. The concerto was recorded and will be released on Decca along with the Talbot Concerto in 2020.
Born in Montenegro in 1983, Miloš left his country age 16 to pursue a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He was recently appointed a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, and BBC Music magazine included him amongst six of the greatest classical guitarists of the last century.

NAC Advisory
NEW YORK: Fire Island National Seashore

NAC Action Alert - August 27, 2010
Existing New York State Law
[Penal Law Section 245.01 Exposure of a person]
Letter from FIIS Chief Ranger Lena Koschmann - Feb 5, 2013
2006 NEF / Roper Poll

Copyright 2013 by the Naturist Action Committee, which is responsible for its content. Permission is granted for the posting, forwarding or redistribution of this message, provided that it is reproduced in its entirety and without alteration.
SUBJECT: Fire Island National Seashore / Lighthouse Beach
TO: All naturists and other interested parties
Attention naturists:
This is an Advisory from the Naturist Action Committee (NAC). Recently, Fire Island National Seashore Chief Ranger Lena Koschmann distributed a "to whom it may concern" letter, declaring that nudity would no longer be allowed on the property the National Park Service manages on behalf of the public. The area affected by the sudden decree includes the popular and traditional clothing-optional portions of Lighthouse Beach.
BRIEF DISCUSSION
While the letter from the Chief Ranger comes as a surprise to some, it reflects a number of familiar issues. For Ms. Koschmann, Fire Island is a relatively recent posting; her previous assignments with the Park Service have all been at sites where clothing-optional recreation is not the norm.
Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to attribute this declaration entirely to a Chief Ranger who has been unfamiliar with the diversity that is a fundamental part of the clothing-optional use of public land. Nor would it be proper to place the entirety of the blame on Hurricane Sandy for the abrupt change in policy, though it's certainly the case that nothing on Fire Island is the same post-Sandy as it was before the storm.
Official concern predates both Koschmann and Sandy. On good weekends, Lighthouse Beach has been host to thousands of beachgoers. It's inevitable that among such large numbers, there have been those who have misbehaved environmentally, as well as socially. Two groups, Long Island Travasuns and Save Lighthouse Beach have been working to educate uninformed visitors about proper clothing-optional beach etiquette and expectations. Both groups have proven themselves to be worthy stewards of the beach, and the marked improvement in overall behavior among visitors over the past three years can be attributed, in large part, to the performance of these two naturist groups.
The National Park Service (NPS) receives little direct revenue from those who have used the clothing-optional areas at Lighthouse Beach. The overwhelming majority of visitors pay a fee to park at Robert Moses State Park, then they walk to the federal land. NPS receives none of the parking fee. Lighthouse Beach has become a cost center for NPS, and not a profit center. Cost centers are more easily marginalized in hard economic times and periods of recovery from disasters.
For Fire Island, Superstorm Sandy certainly qualifies as a disaster. NPS personnel are still focusing, months later, on the ecological effects and damage to local infrastructure. Immediately after the storm passed, naturists were horrified to note that the dunes at the clothing-optional areas had been washed away. Dunes in a seashore environment are important for a number of reasons, but those dunes also acted as a visual barrier that separated compulsorily clothed areas from those that have been clothing-optional for years. Although it's not the only factor, this Sandy-related threat of increased user conflict has played a part in the thinking of Seashore management.
WHAT IS NAC DOING?
On the morning the disturbing letter was released, the Naturist Action Committee took immediate action. As it has done successfully for certain other public land issues, NAC has retained legal counsel in Washington, DC. Intimately familiar with environmental issues and Department of Interior policy matters, NAC's professional counsel is just one facet of NAC's overall response to this critical situation.
The Naturist Action Committee is working closely on this matter with local naturists and naturist groups. In an hour-long phone conversation on the day after Lena Koschmann's letter, NAC gave AANR an overview of the situation, pertinent facts concerning the Seashore, and an overview of the action NAC intends to take.
WHAT IS NAC ASKING YOU TO DO?
This is an Advisory. NAC is not asking you to take specific action at this moment, though the proper time for that may not be too far in the future. At the present time, it's important to remember:
1) A barrage of uncoordinated complaints directed toward Seashore officials would be wasted effort. There will be a time at which your involvement will be essential, and NAC will ask for your forceful participation then. Keep your powder dry.
2) Ad hominem attacks on Chief Ranger Koschmann or others are never appropriate and are likely to serve only to solidify attitudes against us.
3) There will be a time for face-to-face meetings with Seashore managers. Now is not that time.
4) In a situation like this, it's important for you to stay informed. However, you must not be taken in by rumors. Watch for further NAC Action Alerts, Advisories and Updates.
You can find additional information, including this NAC Advisory and the complete text of the Koschmann letter, at http://naturistaction.org/FIIS or by visiting the NAC web site www.naturistaction.org and clicking on ALERTS.
PLEASE HELP NAC CONTINUE HELPING NATURISTS!
The Naturist Action Committee is a nonprofit volunteer organization committed to vigorous activism on behalf of the responsible clothing-optional use of public lands. NAC relies entirely on the voluntary financial support of people like YOU.
The essential response to the frightening threat at Lighthouse Beach will be expensive, and it comes at a time that finds NAC's war chest seriously depleted. Won't you please send a generous donation to NAC?
Or call toll free (800) 886-7230 (8AM-4PM, Central Time, weekdays) to donate by phone using your MasterCard, Visa or Discover Card. Or use your credit card to make a convenient online donation:

Q: CodeBehind TextBox Binding My goal was to replace <TextBox Text={Binding TopTextContent} /> (which works as is) in the xaml view with this in the code behind:
  public partial class MyView: UserControl
  {
    public MyView()
    {
      InitializeComponent();

      // Supposed to replace: // <TextBox Text={Binding TopTextContent} />
      InputContextMenu("Top Text", "TopTextContent");
    }

    private void InputContextMenu([NotNull] string header, [NotNull] string propName)
    {
      var textBox = new TextBox
      {
        MaxLength = 12,
        Width = 80,
        FocusVisualStyle = null
      };

      textBox.SetBinding(
        TextBox.TextProperty,
        new Binding
        {
          Path = new PropertyPath(propName),
          Source = DataContext, // (MyView)DataContext didn't work as well
          Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay
        }
      );

      CodeBehindTextInputs.Items.Add(
        new MenuItem
        {
          Header = header,
          Focusable = false,
          Items = {textBox}
        }
      );
    }
  }

Afaik it should work but it doesn't, the field does appear but the input field is empty and modifying it doesn't modify the value it is supposed to be binded to.
Snoop shows it in red:

I'm not sure how to further debug it or what I'm doing wrong.

A: Do not explicitly set the Binding's Source. The Binding will automatically use the TextBox's DataContext as source object - which inherits its value from its parent view element - even when it is set later:
textBox.SetBinding(
    TextBox.TextProperty,
    new Binding
    {
        Path = new PropertyPath(propName),
        Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay
    });

A: I'm not fully understanding it all yet but it would seem that my DataContext does get populated AFTER the constructor (so it was still null).
I solved it by resorting to the DataContextChanged event:
public SpecificInformationView()
{
  InitializeComponent();

  DataContextChanged += OnDataContext;
}

private void OnDataContext(object sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
  InputContextMenu("Top Text", "TopTextContent");
}

Linda DeLuca grew up in Welland, Ontario where she was born and raised. In her kindergarten class she produced a colourful necklace made out of construction paper and straws. She remembers wearing it proudly. This was a beginning development to exploring her creative side. I am a multi -media artist who works often with printmaking and painting.
My most recent work is a series involving the theme of animals. I am playing on a narrative with the idea of " Canadiana". The motifs I use are the Hudson Bay logo and local wildlife. My process involves lino-cutting and collage with Japanese paper. The work is mounted on wooden frames. I explore colour in various ways, adding another interesting element to the work. The use of repetition from the printmaking technique adds a surreal quality to the pieces. To create a polished finish I have used a coating of resin on the work.

Darien Police Chief Ray Osborne; Barbara and Marc Thorne; and Patrol Officer Leslie Silva chat Friday at Coffee with a Cop.
A handful of people gathered at Aux Delices Foods on Friday morning, Jan. 18 — along with eight police officers.
"This is the fifth Coffee with a Cop that we've had since last spring, " said Leslie Silva, patrol officer and K-9 handler. Silva owns K-9 Kenny, a yellow labrador retriever.
The mission of Coffee with a Cop is to help break down barriers between the police and the residents they serve.
From 10 a.m. to noon, the community was invited to come to Aux Delices and talk with their local police officers.
Previous Coffee with a Cop events were held at Starbucks, Upper Crust Bakery & Cafe and NEAT Coffee.
"It's an opportunity to get out and introduce ourselves to the public, to show folks we are regular guys," said Police Chief Ray Osborne.
During their chat, Silva often asks residents how their experience has been with police, "if they ever had to call us," she said.
Silva added she has received very positive feedback in response.
About 25 to 30 people come to Coffee with a Cop each time it's held.
Displayed on a table inside the coffee shop for people to take was pencils, plastic cups, stickers and toy police cars.
Coffee with a Cop is advertised on Instagram and Facebook. A flyer is also hung outside the store where police will next be holding the event.
Darien residents Marc and Barbara Thorne stopped in to Aux Delices Friday to make small talk with Osborne. Thorne is a Selectman in town and is also a member of the newly formed Pear Tree Point Beach Committee. Barbara Thorne is a former selectmen.
One topic spoken of Friday morning was all the recent car break-ins in town that people have read about in the paper, Osborne said.
"We hope they lock their cars," he said.
Other areas of concern residents often bring up to cops, according to Silva, include parking tickets and traffic issues.
But any topic is fair game.
Jordan Castellani, and her children Morgan and Will spoke with Captain John Lawlor at Coffee with a Cop on Friday, Jan. 18, at Aux Delices Foods.
Five-year-old Will Castellani had football on his mind on Friday.
"He spoke about his love of the Buffalo Bills to Captain John Lawlor," said Will's mother Jordan, of Darien.
"Captain Lawlor's favorite team is the [Minnesota] Vikings," Jordan Castellani said.
Will also spoke about the recent field trip his second grade class took to the Darien Police Station.
