Q: Routing in array Angular 5 I have a string array of dynamic content that I need to add routing and HTML tags within for paragraphs and links. I can't seem to find the correct term for this kind of routing or usage of HTML. What am I missing?
Example-
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
 selector: 'app-new',
 templateUrl: './new.component.html',
 styleUrls: ['./new.component.css']
})
export class NewComponent implements OnInit  {
new: object[];

constructor(private router: Router) {

this.new =  [
    {
      newtitle: "This is my title",
      newcontent: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec odio. Quisque volutpat mattis eros. Nullam malesuada erat ut turpis. Suspendisse urna nibh, viverra non, semper suscipit, posuere a, pede.
Morbi in sem quis dui placerat ornare. Pellentesque odio nisi, euismod in, pharetra a, ultricies in, diam. Sed arcu. Cras consequat."
    }
]

}

A: I am assuming you are trying to show the newcontent in new.component.html. Here is how you can do it:
in new.component.html:

Create a new pipe safe.ts:
import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer, SafeHtml, SafeStyle, SafeScript, SafeUrl, SafeResourceUrl } from '@angular/platform-browser';

@Pipe({ name: 'keepHtml', pure: false })
export class SafePipe implements PipeTransform {
constructor(private _sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {
}

public transform(value: string, type: string): SafeHtml | SafeStyle | SafeScript | SafeUrl | SafeResourceUrl {
switch (type) {
    case 'html':
        return this._sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(value);
    case 'style':
        return this._sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustStyle(value);
    case 'script':
        return this._sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustScript(value);
    case 'url':
        return this._sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustUrl(value);
    case 'resourceUrl':
        return this._sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(value);
    default:
        throw new Error(`Unable to bypass security for invalid type: ${type}`);
}
}
}

Note: Don't forget to add the pipe to your app modules.

The concert in the First Church Boston led off with Stravinsky's seldom-heard Concertino for string quartet, composed in 1920 at about the same time as the Symphonies of wind instruments and sharing some of its rarefied atmosphere of repeated folklike melodic figures, ostinati, and mixed diatonic dissonances. Lively with a few brief slow sections and a quiet envoi single movement, the Concertino's spans about six minutes; the performance radiated the players' obvious pleasure. Someone said to me that it sounded like a Bartók quartet, and the crunch-chord aliquot was comparable, but Bartók's quartet style at this time was actually more chromatic where Stravinsky's is bitonal. Maybe this well-tuned group — Robyn Bollinger and Eunae Koh, violins; Scott Woolweaver, viola; and Joshua Gordon, cello — will give us Stravinsky's Three Pieces for string quartet of 1914 one day.
Joan Tower's Petroushskates for five instruments rings some agreeably fluffy changes on the ostinato patterns of Stravinsky's Petrushka (1911). (About another piece that cribbed from that work, Stravinsky once wrote, "I am flattered by all this attention, of course, but would prefer to receive royalties.") Some Ravelian arpeggios added to the overall busy sound. Deborah Boldin (flute), Kelli O'Connor (clarinet), and Vivian Choi (piano), joined Bollinger and Gordon, violin and cello, almost creating a Pierrot ensemble, and their lighthearted, even skaterly, performance got a chuckle of understanding after the last staccato chord.
Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921), a Romantic and even neoclassical composer who emblemized French music in Europe and America for decades, always remembered that as a child he had heard Mendelssohn conduct, but he lived long enough to be revolted by Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and to permanently blackball Debussy from the Institut de France. A first-rate pianist, he wrote brilliantly for his instrument, and this quality was evident in the decidedly improbable but entirely successful Septet for string quintet, piano and trumpet, op. In a well-known story, Saint-Saëns, when offered the commission, said that it would be easier to compose a concert for 25 guitars, but he accepted it anyway, and produced this Septet in four short, terse, elegantly melodious movements. The trumpet's role is less central than the piano's, but it is still significant, with fanfares, blended accompanimental notes, and occasionally a real melodic function. Rodney Marsalis fearlessly used the mellow B-flat trumpet most of the time, and the E-flat trumpet for the higher-register passages. Randall Zigler, double bass, filled out the ensemble. The excellent notes by Gabriel Langfur mention "a marvelous blend of a 17th-18th-century dance suite and 19th-century lyricism," which tells a lot about the piece; the titles of the four movements — Préambule, Menuet, Intermède, and Gavotte et Final, with the first and last movements each including bright fugato sections, tell even more.
After the intermission came the complete Histoire du soldat (The Soldier's Tale), "to be read, played, and danced by three actors and one or several dancers, accompanied by a septet of instruments." Ten people who want to stage this famous work can manage it, orchestra and all, on the flatbed of a truck; last night's un-staged traversal did include a Narrator, the baritone James Demler, who read all the actors' parts as well as the stage directions, using the original text of C. F. Ramuz in an English version by Michael Flanders and Kitty Black. (At Lincoln Center ca. 1970, Aaron Copland was the Narrator, Elliott Carter the Soldier, and John Cage the Devil.) The miniature orchestra which carried off this difficult but pellucid score — without a conductor and with no outright mishaps and only a few shaky moments — included Kelli O'Connor, clarinet; Damian Primis, bassoon; Rodney Marsalis, trumpet (using a C instrument); Gabriel Langfur, trombone; Ayano Ninomiya, violin; Randall Zigler, double bass; and Matt Sharrock, percussion. l'Histoire is really one of the focal points of music history in the 20th century. Not only does it crystallize Stravinsky's language of rhythmic counterpoint even more lucidly than does The Rite of Spring (Les noces was five years down the road); it gives new meaning to the sound of instrumental chamber music; and it represents in a distinct way the birth of neoclassical harmony. The "Great Chorale" in Part II takes well-remembered phrases from the Bach-Luther Ein' feste Burg and reconstitutes the fragments with polytonal harmony. The ostinato of solo violin and plucked bass in "By the Brook" illustrate how one can hear G major and A minor simultaneously. As for the Faustian organization of Ramuz's fable, it includes a fatal card game with the Queen of Hearts, drawn perhaps from Alice in Wonderland but looking forward to the graveyard scene in The Rake's Progress. A good deal of the 20th -century in music is summarized in this monument to miniaturization that André Hodeir dared to call "a musical cocktail." Congratulations to the Chameleon Ensemble for giving us a fine and inspired program with a brave l'Histoire du soldat at its center.
Repeats on Sunday, December 2, at four o'clock; don't miss it!
Kudos to James Demler on his virtuoso portrayal of all three parts. Always crystal clear, vocally, as to which character was speaking, I also admired his smooth and efficient staging choices. It was especially gratifying to have his musical skills put to good use on the few passages in the score where rhythmic precision is called for. Several typically treacherous spots were handled with confidence and ease, and his ability to project over the music was never in doubt. Jeremy Irons would be proud!

Kendall Jenner was out in Los Angeles, clad in what seems to be one of the most coveted coats this season, the Frame's Leather trench (pretty pricey for $2495). We've spotted this same coat already on Kaia Gerber and many other celebs.
Kendall was also wearing a pair of spot-on trendy jeans, a pair of rigid denim straight legs with a high waist. No distressing and no rips, the wash is a cool vintage-y medium blue. To finish off her outfit, Kendall added a pair of white leather sneakers and her preferred tiny sunglasses.
We found some similar straight leg jeans like the ones Kendall is wearing here from RE/DONE, AGOLDE, and Good American.
And if you love Kendall's leather coat, here are some options for le$$ from Coach (on sale for $795), & other Stories, and Free People.

We've Been Consistently Writing About The Globalist Desire For War With Russia For Years
Donbass Battalion flags consecration in St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery
Image by ReAl
We've written consistently about this issue for years — Ukraine is not our fight.
The Biden* administration is now wagging the dog for a war with the Russian Federation.
Let me go over again some salient points:
The Russian civilization started in the city of Kyiv, which is now Ukraine, centuries ago — the Kyiv Rus people. When the Mongols invaded, the Rus princes moved north to Moscow. Ukraine is historically connected to the Russian Federation. Yes, Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians to death during Soviet times, and many Ukrainians would rather be connected to the West, but many would rather be connected to Moscow as they see themselves as brothers.
Ukraine is the Soros organized crime family playground. Massive money laundering, illegal election interference, color revolutions, and U.S. government corruption runs wild in Ukraine. This apparatus controls the Ukrainian government.
NATO encroachment to Russia's border makes no sense. It is dangerous. A hot war in Europe is something no one will benefit from, except the elites who want to take down the American system, as well as the Kremlin.
It is not in Russia's interest to invade Ukraine. They do not have the financial resources to make this effort beneficial to the Kremlin. It will be a bloody and expensive proposition.
It is the West that is aggressively sanctioning Russia, not the other way around. WWII in the Pacific started with economic sanctions on Japan. Think about Russia arming Texas, this is how Russians see Ukraine.
The globalist cabal is pushing for war with Russia, in order to take eyes off the existential threat — the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
China is actually threatening publicly to invade Taiwan, a close ally of the United States. You hear nothing about this in the press – that is all you need to know about this supposed 'imminent' Russian invasion.

April 4 is just another day to most people. But to Erika Evans, it's an important one. This year, it marked the fifth anniversary of the day she had a double umbilical cord blood transplant at MD Anderson for her acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment. And for Erika, the fact that she's still around for the milestone at all was cause for celebration.
When Erika had her own children about 20 years ago, cord blood banking wasn't an option. But today, she encourages other expectant parents to donate their babies' cord blood by sharing her story at Lamaze classes. She also works closely with an international nonprofit dedicated to finding tissue-type matches for blood cancer patients seeking stem cell transplants.
In addition to her cord blood donation and stem cell registry activities, Erika also finds great satisfaction in mentoring other leukemia patients, some from as far away as Tanzania, Belgium and Jordan.
As someone who has watched a close family member succumb to leukemia and a survivor herself, Erika feels uniquely qualified to offer other cancer patients and their families encouragement.
Erika's experiences have also given her a much deeper appreciation for life's little everyday miracles.
The one thing Erika wants other cancer patients to know is that it's absolutely possible to get through a stem cell transplant and come out on the other side successfully.
Time is on Erika's mind now more than ever, after reaching such a significant milestone.
Learn about donating umbilical cord blood to the MD Anderson Cord Blood Bank.
I want people to know it's possible not just to survive, but to thrive and to live a healthy, wonderful life again.

The popularity of blends in the coffee industry has come and gone and come back again. Blends have their rightful place in any roaster's catalog, as they provide roasters with an opportunity to present a consistent product to wholesale and retail customers who are looking for a good cup of coffee that they can come back to time and time again, year-round.
There is a lot to explore when talking about creating a blend. One fun topic that we have been discussing lately at Genuine Origin is the Single Origin Blend. Yep, that's right – Single Origin Blend.
When you really get down to it, all coffees are blends. No matter how specific and transparent the lot, every lot of coffee is created by blending and sorting the harvest to reach a desired lot size and flavor profile. Coffee is typically harvested over a period of weeks, and most coffee farms grow at least a few different varieties. Even a single farm microlot would consist of a blend of smaller lots that were harvested and sent into the processing pipeline on different dates, and a blend of the different varieties that are grown on the farm. Further blending can happen at the mill where producers from a specific region or cooperative may blend their individual harvests to present to a buyer. A little further down the supply chain is the QC lab at an exporting company who may blend lots together to fulfill a client's volume, price or flavor profile requirements.
Well, there is no reason why you can't have all of that in one cup! Take a cue from the QC labs up the supply chain and blend the lots to achieve the cup profile that you are looking for. If you are a roaster who is interested in exclusives, this is fun way to make a totally unique single origin product. Genuine Origin's 65-pound boxes and mixed pallet discounts make it easy to purchase several coffees at once. Like'em both? Buy'em both!
Should you blend the green coffee first or roast first and then blend? What about ratios? These are questions that only the roasters themselves, with sample roasting, cupping and experimentation, can answer. This is the fun part of our jobs – working with the coffees, trying different roast profiles and blend ratios, tasting the results and, finally, deciding what you want to present to the world.


The new s'mores flavor—graham cracker outer cookie with chocolate and marshmallow filling—will be available for just six to eight weeks only starting May 22.
Back in February, Oreo hypebeasts were still going crazy over the release of Red Velvet Oreos when someone leaked a photo of S'more Oreos on Twitter. That someone was Michael C. Souza, an employee of Mondelez International (which makes Oreos).
It's official: According to a release from Oreo, the limited-edition S'mores Oreos will be available nationwide (and in Canada) starting Friday, May 22nd—while supplies last.
S'mores Oreos will feature the first-ever graham cracker cookie in an Oreo, as well as a chocolate-marshmallow creme filling.
The latest limited edition is OREO cookies spin on a classic and we're excited to introduce S'mores OREO flavored cookies – the perfect way to let fans enjoy summer's iconic treat no matter where they are – no campfire necessary.
We only have one question left: Why aren't they called #smoreos? We aren't the only ones asking, either.
One more thing: Keane says that the "while supplies last" part of Limited Edition Oreo flavors translates to about six to eight weeks. So if you want a package of S'mores Oreos for yourself, you have about two months to get your Oreo hypbeast self to the grocery store.

According to the reporters at Vox Media, doubt is plaguing the field of science. "As reporters covering medicine, psychology, climate change, and other areas of research, we wanted to understand this epidemic of doubt. So we sent scientists a survey asking this simple question: If you could change one thing about how science works today, what would it be and why?" authors Julia Belluz, Brad Plumer, and Brian Resmick wrote.

The modern world fully relies on the internet as a means for communication. In this information era, companies are using websites to reach a wider market and stay competitive.
It is through web development that the internet becomes useful. Those who are just beginning may not understand the impact of this aspect. Perhaps, they only know about web design, which is equally as important. However, custom web development Toronto is the engine that runs your website.
It is through development that you make your site accessible, useful and fast. This means you need to get a good web development partner.
Web development can be seen as a field where professionals create programs and applications for the internet. If you need to build a website, for instance, you find Custom web development Toronto agencies who understand how it all works.
It involves the creation of custom code to build websites for customers. In essence, a customer will require specific design and function upon which development take place.
The Custom web development industry is growing very fast. As technology becomes more advanced, new approaches to the process are becoming evident. Every new site developed has something different from a previous one.
Project management: When a customer approaches any agency, they will have first to consider the moving parts to manage the project properly. The goal is to make sure no task is forgotten.
Design: This is a basic skill everyone can have. It may not be necessary, but it helps in laying out the aesthetics that prominent developers must have.
Working strategy and flexibility: Development projects are not very easy. They require experience in the planning and execution of the assigned work. This is something you can only get from experienced web developers.
Mobile support: Most internet users access it through Smartphones and other mobile devices. Computers are still functional but only in offices a few individuals. You need a website that can be accessed using all these devices.
Experience: A high performing website must first be tested. Every site has intention and purpose which must be met. A good web developer must understand the scope of your business and become a partner in what you provide. It is only then that they can create a proper marketing tool for you.
What language is used in web development?
HTML: This is fundamental for coding. It is the base for building developer languages.
CSS: It allows mediation between apps and the site's design.
PHP: A popular computer language used by over 2 million sites.
Swift: Used to develop Apps for Apple.
Ruby: Ruby on the Rails is a popular development framework used on the internet.
C#: One of the most popular languages today. It is simple and safe.
Dart: Dart has become increasingly popular. Many Google and Adobe Programmers are using the tool.
Web development goes hand in hand with apps. Work with professionals to develop applications that will make your site more accessible to your customers.

Week In Sports: A Day At The Masters
Published April 13, 2013 at 8:00 AM EDT
SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon, and I wait all week to say: It's time for sports.
(SOUNDBITE OF THEME MUSIC)
SIMON: The serene and pristine fairways of Augusta have been trampled up and down for a couple of full days now. The Masters tournament is halfway through. NPR's Tom Goldman has been there watching, not playing. Thanks for being with us, Tom.
TOM GOLDMAN, BYLINE: But trampling, Scott - I've done my fair share.
SIMON: OK, good. Well, speaking of trampling, I think somebody's trampled on Tiger Woods. Otherwise, pretty good tournament so far because today, he's been penalized two strokes for - well, explain to us what happened. He hit the flag at 15 yesterday and then, of course, under the rules, he has to drop his ball. Take it over from there, please.
GOLDMAN: Yeah, what a jolt this was this morning. We actually were hearing first that he was going to be disqualified from the tournament. Can you imagine that? Yeah, he hit the flag on 15. The ball skittered back into the water, and then he dropped his ball. He apparently chose the rule. He had three options where to drop his next ball, and he chose the option where he has to drop it as close to the spot where he hit his original shot. Now, even Tiger himself admitted that he dropped it about 2 yards behind that original spot; and then hit a fantastic shot that he then sank a putt for a bogey.
The rules committee had the discretion because of a new ruling, to take into account the fact that Tiger may not have known the rule and the fact that this was an infraction reported after the fact, and so they, in fact, decided to penalize him two strokes, as you said, instead of the disqualification. So that means he starts Saturday's third round at one under, five strokes off the lead, rather than three under.
SIMON: I'm afraid maybe a lot of us don't understand what's wrong about dropping the ball two yards behind where you hit it initially?
GOLDMAN: Because the rule says the option that he took says you have drop it as near to the spot where you originally hit it. And he could have gotten two yards closer to where he hit it.
SIMON: We are midway through the tournament. I want to ask you about the contrast, 'cause you've got a couple of older golfers - Fred Couples and Bernhard Langer are playing very well indeed. And at the same time, you have the 14-year-old phenom, Guan Tianlang, from China, the youngest player ever to qualify for the Masters, is also playing well.
GOLDMAN: Yeah, the complete other end of the spectrum. He - not only the youngest to tee off from the Masters, but yesterday became the youngest ever to make the cut. So he qualified for weekend play. Youngest to make the cut, not only in Masters, but any major championship. It's really quite a story. He's got quite a game for actually anyone, let alone a 14-year-old eighth grader. And he's, you know, a very composed young man. In all his interviews, he speaks fairly good English, and he seems to be enjoying the heck out of himself.
SIMON: Fourteen years old? When you've played the Masters, what do you get a 14-year-old for his 15th birthday?
GOLDMAN: Probably a green jacket.
GOLDMAN: He says he probably won't win it this year, but he says in the future, yes, probably. So my goodness, what a story.
SIMON: I want to ask you about Kobe Bryant's injury. Got injured last night, looks like he tore his Achilles tendon. It's a painful injury. Just to watch the replays today, and I follow Kobe Bryant on Facebook, and it's painful to read about it. This is a hurting guy today. What's the significance of this injury to one of the greatest players of all time to his team at this point in the season?
GOLDMAN: Well, it's devastating for his team. I mean, you know, if the Lakers can hang on and get the eighth spot in the Western Conference into the playoffs, there's absolutely no hope. Kobe had guaranteed a playoff spot, and if Kobe had been healthy, you know. All he knew, and a lot of NBA watchers knew, all they have to do is get into the playoffs and if that guy's still playing, there's a shot. So, you know, it's devastating for the Lakers. He's done for the year.
Obviously, for Kobe, I mean, a huge blow. He's 34, he's played 17 years, and he has been playing so much and so hard. He had played every minute of the game up until his injury, with a little over three minutes left in the game against Golden State last night. And he's just been giving it his all, and he had almost gotten them to the mountaintop and then this happens.
Kobe, as I said, 34. It's an injury that has ended careers of guys who've gotten it when they've been in 30s like he has. But Kobe, ever the competitor, was saying last night, you know, it's already bugging me, the stories that I can hear you guys writing that this will force him to retire and he'll never be back. So, Kobe, don't be surprised if we see Kobe Bryant again, but it's going to be a long rehab for him.
SIMON: NPR's Tom Goldman speaking with us from Augusta, Ga. Thanks so much, Tom.
GOLDMAN: You're welcome, Scott. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Court of appeals affirms admission of other acts evidence to prove child sexual assault
State v. Marco A. Lopez, Sr., 2018AP159-CR, 2/12/19, District 1 (not recommended for publication); case activity (including briefs).
The State charged Lopez with child sexual assault of two victims and moved to admit the of testimony of two additional relatives who said that they were also assaulted by Lopez for years when they were the same ages as the victims. Lopez conceded the first two elements of the "other acts" evidence test. State v. Sullivan, 216 Wis. 2d 768, 576 N.W.2d 30 (1998), §904.04(2) and §904.03. He argued that the trial court incorrectly weighed the probative value of the evidence against the danger of unfair prejudice.
According to Lopez, the State offered the other acts evidence to show that he committed the charged acts for the purpose of sexual gratification. Lopez denied doing the charged acts. However, he conceded that if he was found to have done them, then his motive was sexual gratification. Thus, the State did not need, and the circuit court should not have admitted, other acts evidence. Its admission only served to prejudice his defense. Opinion, ¶17.(citing State v. Payano, 2009 WI 86, ¶81, 320 Wis. 2d 348, 768 N.W.2d 832).
The court of appeals didn't buy that argument. It held that the State must prove all elements of a charged crime even if one element is not disputed. Opinion, ¶18 (citing State v. Veach, 2002 WI 110, ¶77, 255 Wis. 2d 390, 658 N.W.2d 447). It also rejected Lopez's characterization of the State's reasons for seeking admission of the "other acts" evidence. It wasn't to prove sexual gratification. It was to show "proof of plan," which was very much in dispute.
¶20 The third problem with Lopez's argument is that it misperceives what "the proffered proposition" was, and thus the extent to which it was "in substantial dispute." See Payano, 320 Wis. 2d 348, ¶81 ("The main consideration in assessing probative value of other acts evidence 'is the extent to which the proffered proposition is in substantial dispute[.]'"). The proffered proposition was not that Lopez derived sexual gratification from the acts but that Lopez abused two young children who were related to him over a period of years and coerced the silence of one of them by threatening to kill the child's mother. In his testimony, Lopez denied every aspect of this proposition. It was therefore in substantial dispute. In addition, the greater latitude rule applies in this case, and its purpose is to ensure "the more liberal admission of other crimes evidence in sex crime cases in which the victim is a child." See Davidson, 236 Wis. 2d 537, ¶51.

The first time I left the country, excluding Canada and the Rio Grande as a kid, I did it alone.
And the first time I really left the country, I went big.
I jetted off to New Zealand for a semester abroad.
I considered England or Ireland, but figured I could go there for a long weekend if I really wanted to, but going to New Zealand took commitment. I knew, even as a college kid, that getting clear across the glove would be difficult in life after college.
It's one of the smartest things I've ever done.
In the months before I left, I did all my reports for an international relations class on New Zealand. I read everything I could find and Googled the heck out of the country that's roughly the size of Colorado.
When I got there, everything was new and different and amazing.
My semester abroad exposed me to a new culture, way of thinking and so many new people with experiences vastly different from my own.
That trip started a chain of international adventures that were genuinely life changing and so I'm starting the I Believe... series with why I believe in travel.
+ You get outside your comfort zone. At home, you do your routine in the same places with the same people and there's nothing wring with that but you sure learn a lot about yourself when your routines go out the window. You try new food, new cafes, new workouts, new adventures, new views and try things you might never have the guts to do at home.
+ You broaden your perspective. I was just talking to M this morning about the value of travel (and I don't mean luxury resorts or packaged for you tours) and how it exposes you to different ways of life, different perspectives, different education systems, value systems, political systems. I went to school in New Zealand with students from New Zealand and the rest of the world. They approached their studies very differently than we do back home and I was able to hear what some of the rest of the world things about my home country. You also learn how small the world can be when you Donald Duck in PIcton, New Zealand. It makes you think about how the world values your nation and what you really want to share with the world.
+ You learn to need only what you can carry. There's a form of simplicity you start to value as you travel. You might want that cool souvenir that you don't particularly have any use for, but if you can't carry it, well then you're not getting it. You learn to pack what you need and realize just how little you actually need to get by. I'm very particular with my souvenir buying since everything has to make it home in the same rucksack I left with and you start to truly value experiences over things, because all the things you actually need fit in one bag. My orange rucksack is my faithful travel companion that might have logged more miles than I have, enduring planes, trains, boats and more.
+ You learn more about you. Your likes and dislikes. Your dreams and fears. Your strengths and weaknesses. When I travel, I get up every morning and see where the day takes me. Sometimes I have a plan, sometimes I wander and explore. At home, I have deadlines, errands, to-do lists, emails, laundry and all the day to day tasks of being an adult. Without those constraints, it's as if you get to start from scratch and construct a different life with the things you like most. Of course when you get home, those day to day tasks come back, but sometimes you bring those found-while-traveling habits home and infuse your normal routines with so much more. You learn how you handle crisis situations without a cell phone handy to call your dad to come pick you up. You learn how you handle setbacks and your capacity to adapt. You realize that if you can handle being stranded in the middle of nowhere in a country where you don't speak the language that you can probably handle flat tires, spilled dinners and bad days at work.
+ You learn how small you are. Traveling, really traveling, teaches you that the world does not, in fact, revolve around you or even your country. You learn that the American way is not the only way or even the best way. It doesn't make you any less American, or love your country any less, but it helps you understand how our country came to be, what makes us different, what makes us great and what makes us not so great. I genuinely love my country, but understanding that it's a big world and we're but one nation of many older cultures and societies allows you to develop a far more mature appreciation for your homeland. You see the great things in the world, but also the needs. You spend a lot of time thinking about what you want your place in the world to be.
+ You see it with your own eyes. True most of the most iconic places in the world look exactly the same in real life as they do in pictures, but there is absolutely no picture that compares to the "I am here" feeling. I've been to a few wonders of the world, both ancient and natural. I've been to Venice, the sinking city. On all of those trips, seeing some of those things literally takes your breath away. Seeing with you own eyes, walking the same halls as people who changed the world, touching the same rocks that ancient civilizations built a mountain city with, hiking glaciers that might disappear in my lifetime. Those are life changing experiences. Those are moments worth leaving the iPhone behind. Worth not tweeting or Instagramming or Facebooking, but simply being present. Breathe it all in. Those are moments no one can take away, no matter what. But, you can also take photos so you can look back and smile when you say "I was there. I did that." I'm standing in this London phone booth wearing a fleece vest I bought in New Zealand, while visiting a London-based friend I met in New Zealand.
Do you travel? Why do you believe in it? If you haven't traveled, would you?
I think travel and especially living abroad definitely helps combat the "center of the world" mentality that is sometimes all too easy to acquire when you stay in the same place too long!
I really like this post! You really can't compare the feeling of being there even if it does look exactly like the pictures. We're heading to Mount Rushmore this weekend, and I feel like it will be quite similar.
Enjoy Mount Rushmore! We lived in South Dakota and went there all the time, but it really is fun. I also recommend the Badlands, Crazy Horse and picking up some Black HIlls gold while you're in SD!
That's so incredible! I love travel and also believe in it 100%. I have been lucky enough to travel the world a couple of times, and went to London for a month in 2012. My sister is actually hoping to study abroad in Australia or New Zealand next year. These are great reasons why traveling and studying abroad is important!
Thanks Kate! I love London!
I love Australia but highly recommend New Zealand. It's such a small country that values the land above most other things and it gives you a completely different perspective on life. Plus the people are just amazing. I studied in Christchurch, where they're still rebuilding from the earthquake a few years ago, but it was a great school and a city that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I completely agree! Travel changes your entire perspective, and there is nothing like living in a new place and trying to figure out things that were simple back home, like going to the grocery store!
Thanks lady! Ha, my sister was studying in Sweden and called home to say that she couldn't figure out anything at the grocery store since all the labels were in Swedish. Even buying milk was a challenge.
I love this. these are all amazing reasons to travel! I have to agree that the grocery store is one of the biggest challenges, and the thing I think I took most for granted back in the US.
Oh gosh, where do I begin with how travel has changed me? I grew up traveling; I would literally be a different person. And as you know, my year in Beijing changed my life. All of my travels changed me in one way or another, but that year in Beijing was so transformative that I don't even know how different I'd be today had I not done that year abroad. Crazy!
There's so much to say on this topic, I don't even know where I would start! I'll try to boil it down to a few things: food, people/connections, an awareness of my place in the world.

Hammers linked with Serie A right-back
Posted by Dave Langton on December 29, 2022 in News, Whispers
West Ham have been linked with a swoop to sign Ola Aina from Torino in the January transfer window.
The Hammers are reported to have been interested in a deal to sign the full-back in the summer transfer window, and were linked with a potential late-window move.
Aina came through the ranks at Chelsea but only played six times for the Blues, and went on loan to both Hull City and Torino, before signing for the Italian club permanently.
He has also gone on loan to Fulham from Torino, and is a Nigeria international with 29 caps.
The Irons could well be in need of signing a right-back in January, with Vlad Coufal seemingly not trusted, Ben Johnson injury-prone, and Thilo Kehrer struggling to convince in both central defence and at right-back.
Aina has a contract until 2023 and could be snapped up in a cut-price deal in January, as per the London Evening Standard.

Oakland Military Institute, formally the Oakland Military Institute College Preparatory Academy, is a charter school run by the California Military Department's Youth and Community Programs Task Force in partnership with the Oakland Unified School District in Oakland, California.

Oakland Military Institute's mission is "to provide a structured and rigorous academic program where cadets develop as leaders, scholars, critical thinkers, and citizens." The school's cadets are members of the California Cadet Corps. The teaching staff are employees of the Oakland Unified School District while the Military Staff are member of the California National Guard and the California State Guard.

Ideally, students will go on to attend college. In addition to academics, the school develops leadership in its students through an elective class which all students take every year. They are assigned to a large group of students, or a Company, which they are a part of for all their years in the school. Students are mentored by the military staff in these groups to grow as disciplined adults and leaders of character.

History
Oakland Military Institute was founded in 2001 after a two-year campaign led by then Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown. Governor Gray Davis helped secure the charter after local school boards rejected the proposals. It is the first charter school sponsored and run by the State of California Military Department and the first public military school sponsored by the National Guard. The school site, at its inception, was located on the Oakland Army Base - 2405 West 14th Street. AC Transit provided a dedicated bus line for student transportation to the base. Hundreds of applications were submitted from all over the East Bay and each prospective student was required to appear with their parent/guardian.

The process for acceptance into the institute consisted of a in-person interview with a panel that included a military member, faculty member, administrator and representative from the mayor's office. The amount of application for entry into the first class required the staff to hold a lottery for acceptance at the Oakland Army Base Theater to determine which applicants would be allowed to attend a two-week summer camp held in Camp San Luis Obispo. The first class of 167 seventh-graders enrolled in August 2001, under the direction of Commandant Colonel Bradford M. Jones, Command Sergeant Major Alex Cabassa and Academic Director Rick Moniz.

On May 17, 2007, Oakland Military Institute relocated from the Oakland Army Base to 3877 Lusk Street, Oakland, CA 94608. In August 2012, it opened a 15,000 square foot state of the art facility to serve 6th grade and house science classrooms, music and art classes, and a library and computer lab and virtual learning center.

Danny was referred to the Children's Reporter when he was 15 years old with around 20 offences. He had real problems communicating and drug and alcohol issues cast a shadow over his life.
The Children's Reporter (the person who makes a decision about the need to refer a child/young person to a Children's Hearing) referred his case to a children's hearing, Danny accepted all the offences which included smashing up his own family home and the hearing made a compulsory supervision order.
One of the main features of his compulsory supervision order was that Danny was placed on a work experience programme where he discovered he had a flair for garage work. He really enjoyed this and his life started to settle down significantly. He remained on supervision until he was almost 17 years old.
Danny is now a confident young man with a permanent job.

UN: A third of Venezuelans with no access to minimum nutrition requirements
Thursday, February 27th 2020 - 07:59 UTC
Nearly three-quarters of respondents said they have used "food-related coping strategies" such as rationing meals or limiting dinners to just one cheap food
About 9.3 million Venezuelans don't have access to enough food to meet minimum nutrition requirements, according to a study from the United Nations.
One-third of Venezuelans were found to be moderately or severely food insecure by researchers from the World Food Program, a project established by the U.N. The World Food Program describes food insecurity as the inability to meet basic dietary needs.
The study, which consisted of surveys from 8,375 Venezuelans, showed that a large percentage of people were surviving on just potatoes or beans. Even one in five residents in the most prosperous areas of Venezuela was unable to meet basic nutritional needs.
Nearly three-quarters of respondents said they have used "food-related coping strategies" such as rationing meals or limiting dinners to just one cheap food. One-third of respondents said they have accepted food as payment at work rather than receiving cash. One in 5 admitted to selling personal belongings to pay for food.
Carolina Fernandez, a Venezuelan rights advocate, warned that Venezuelan children may face lasting growth challenges due to malnutrition. She added, "We're talking about children who are going to have long-term problems because they're not eating adequately."
Venezuela has struggled through economic and political catastrophes. Hyperinflation left the Venezuelan Bolivar nearly worthless, and the country's leader, Nicolas Maduro, has refused to concede power in the face of international pressure.
The U.N. was invited to conduct the food insecurity study by Maduro, who refused to allow researchers into the country in years prior.
The United States has recognized Juan Guaido as interim president. He was one of President Trump's guests to the State of the Union address earlier this month.

The ABYSS Diana luxury line of headphones was launched in early 2018. Touted as the world's thinnest boutique headphone, it has since changed longstanding perceptions of headphone physics by easily comparing to and in many cases besting the highest performance headphones. World-class sound in a compact portable package.
ABYSS has since worked toward furthering this success, producing a second higher performance Diana version that's 'bigger on the inside' by incorporating the Phi planar speakers from their agship AB-1266 Phi CC, the headphone on the tip of any connoisseur's tongue when asked; 'What's the best'? The new Diana Phi is said to have world-class dynamics, resolution, and renement to sound never before heard in such a compact package. As with any ABYSS, she's quite capable of playing any genre of music to an extreme level of enjoyment, limited only by the electronics and recording. The goosebump inducing 'you are there' sound is to die for.
ABYSS has also created a new ear pad to better match the acoustics of the new Phi drivers. Also bigger on the inside, the new pads further expand on soundscape and comfort.

Home Learning and innovation Debunking the "Social Age", a dead end for humanitarian leadership practitioners
Debunking the "Social Age", a dead end for humanitarian leadership practitioners
Reda Sadki February 7, 2018 Thinking aloud
"And I can see no reason why anyone should suppose that in the future the same motifs already heard will not be sounding still … put to use by reasonable men to reasonable ends, or by madmen to nonsense and disaster." – Joseph Campbell, Foreword to The Masks of God: Primitive Mythology, 1969
Humans are social beings. If there is one constant in our experience, this is it. Of course, the tidal waves of digital transformation are reshaping the cultures of how we learn, share, communicate, and grow. But this constant remains.
Claiming that our entry into a "Social Age" is the key to grappling with change is akin to clamoring that we are entering a new "Age of Transportation". There are obviously new means such as electric cars. But to try to understand what is changing – and how we can learn, grow, and lead to harness change – through such a narrow lens is likely to lead to reductive, myopic approaches. It confuses both symptom with cause and effect with intent.
Anyone who values peer-reviewed evidence will find nothing to discern whether the "Social Age" is a valid concept. Zero articles in Google Scholar and just one book written a decade ago by IBM's vice president of cloud computing enablement. There is no science to describe or theorize the "Social Age". Stripped of its marketing collateral, the pretty pictures painted by the "Social Age" reveal themselves to be hollow of meaning.
There is no denying the constance of change. It is a truism by definition. The need to adapt is true by necessity. One should be suspicious when a concept appears to be premised by not one but two tautologies. Stating the obvious is a wonderfully effective way of reassuring those who maintain the status quo that only need to adopt a new vocabulary, distinguishing themselves from the "usual suspects"… when in fact they should be front and center in the line-up.
There is no Social Age.
So why is the "Social Age" concept a dead end for humanitarian practitioners, and especially the learning leaders amongst them who work on the outer cusp of chaos in emergencies, disasters, and toward greater community resilience?
First of all, the humanitarian space is already littered by amorphous, vague, or empty concepts that, combined with opaque jargon, lead to analysis paralysis or just produce more litter. We need tools and approaches that help us clear the rubble, not add to it.
Second, there are evidence-based approaches to understand and harness the sweeping changes we face, how they impact our work, and how we can build on them to strengthen how we learn and how we lead. Yet, given the dearth of impact measurement in humanitarian capacity-building, this not the first time that we have observed senior managers seduced by an imported concept with no sector-specific evidence to back it up, for reasons that have more to do with their own identity and moral quandary than with the actual relevance and usefulness of such imports. There is a need to resist our own insularity, but this should not lead to embracing obscure concepts as an end unto itself. The vocabulary of the "Social Age" proponents may be different, but how is it different from failed attempts of the past to build capacity through training?
Third, nothing in the amorphous relativism of the "Social Age" explicitly recognizes the unequal power relations that are the heart of the contradictions in a humanitarian system that preaches localization from the center to the periphery, but lacks effective mechanisms (and, in some countries, domestic political will) to shift the balance of power. There is a growing number of promising projects that are already helping us find new, authentic and meaningful ways of growing collaborative leadership from margin to center. These are increasingly often being driven and led by those on the periphery. They are about inspiration, innovation, and collective responsibility to progress through self-directed growth and development. By contrast, the "Social Age" seems to be about renting and delivering the policies of others, rather than shared ownership and development around a compelling purpose. (Yes, I am paraphrasing Hargreaves and Shirley's distinction between Third and Fourth Ways in their book about inspiring future for educational change.)
Barbara W. Tuchman, in her analysis of why governments pursue policy contrary to their own aims and the needs of the people they serve, asks why we should "expect anything else of government", answering that "governments have a greater duty to act according to reason" because "folly in government has more impact on more people than individual follies." This echoes the peculiar responsibility of those who are in the business of transforming the aid business. Imported gimmicks are not where we should be expending time and effort. Staying silent is not an option.
Yet, inertia remains a powerful force in our peculiar, mission-driven corner of the universe. Once an idea somehow gains currency, it breathes a life of its own. Lip service to failure tolerance has not changed the reality that once you have promoted a clunky concept, chances are that you will feel offended or threatened or both when challenged, especially if you lack the evidence for a rebuttal. There is little or no reward for critical reflection or questioning, for taking a necessary step back to reconsider, especially when scarce sector resources are being expended at for-profit corporate rates in the name of doing something different. This is unfortunate because stonewalling equates to lack of accountability – no matter how stringent the logframes and other formal mechanisms that may be in place. Is dissent ignored, tolerated, or does it open up to potentially nasty reprisals?
La critique est facile, l'art est difficile. It is really easier to tear down than it is to evolve and/or reconstruct? In fact, my perspective is shaped by substantive collaborative leadership work that I admire or the digital learning that I see transforming people and strengthening their individual and collective capabilities. Few blog posts about this work ever get written. I consider this failure to self-promote to be consistent with the modesty and authenticity of practitioners who are truly pushing the boundaries. We need a space where such stories can be told, not for competitive advantage in the marketplace of ideas for rent, but to strengthen and deepen the bonds of our yearning for a better future.

THE best players do the things we dream of.
The best of the best do things we never even imagined.
Few stars, past or present, would have conceived the option of the 'scoop pass' Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta saw for ex-Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski.
Fewer still could have delivered it so outrageously.
Nowadays the setting for these two over-30s is exotic rather than exalted. The J-League in Japan, not the loftiest divisions in Europe and the Champions League.
But in its way the goal they conjured today is up there with Iniesta's World Cup winner for Spain against Holland in 2010.
Of course, the importance cannot be compared.
But you might wait a long time to see a strike of such precocious making and taking.
It was the first of Podolski's two as Vissel Kobe beat Nagoya 2-1.
Iniesta received the ball in the middle of the Nagoya half, with a packed box in front of him.
He kept the ball tight to his feet as he shifted around, monitoring his options.
Podolski alone had the pedigree to keep up with Iniesta's thinking and the German suddenly spurted forward from nowhere.
Iniesta responded with an up-and-over chip that turned a simple situation into a deadly delivery.
Nagoya's defenders watched mesmerised as the ball spiralled down towards the penalty spot for Podolski to volley into the corner of the net with a deft flick of his left foot.
Moments like that support Iniesta's claim he is loving life in Japan after arriving in May on a three-year deal reputedly worth £22.5million a season.
He has not quite gone as far as to say he always dreamed of playing for Vissel Kobe.
But the 34-year-old notched a solo special of his own in August - supplied, of course, by Podolski, 33.
And a month later Iniesta said: "Me and my family are very happy.
"It feels like we've been here forever.We're getting more settled in every day.
"Ot's a great experience for my wife. so far it has been great."


Did you know that the Creative Fibre Festival will be held in Palmerston North over 25 – 28 April 2019? It's Creative Fibre's 50th Anniversary this year. There are always neat things to look at, lots of traders and the Fleece to Garment Action Competition is really exciting to watch.
The Wairarapa Spinners and Weavers are entering a team. The following photos were taken at one of their practice days.
Kay spins a single for Lynette to ply with Janice's single.
The Rules state that penalty points will be awarded for incorrect tension. And I like this Rule – only a small portion of the marks are for speed, the teams will profit from quality of work.
If you are at Festival on Saturday 27 April come along and cheer the team along.

Nothing special has happened in the last little while except the making of some lovely things. So here are a few photos.
Below is another beautiful scarf, with a story. Margaret volunteers in a charity shop, and when an eyecatching silk scarf was donated, she realised they couldn't sell it as it was badly torn. But she thought it might work for nuno felting, so she gave it to Pat who somehow managed to make this – and gave it back to an astonished and delighted Margaret.

Did you know that the Wairarapa Spinners and Weavers Guild has a group that meets on the first and third Tuesday evening each month? This is a small but dynamic group where one can learn new skills or just come along and chill.
Some of us spin, some knit and some of us just sit and chat. We have access to all the things that the day group has. Our extensive library, show and tell, raffles and when practicable, education sessions.
The Tuesday evening group was primarily for those of us who work, but many of the day group members enjoy the companionship of the night group.
There's lots of laughter, the odd joke, sales table and plenty of advice. You take what you will as far as the advice is concerned.
Sorry, no photos as we have really only come back from the summer break.
Creative Fibre our national body was founded 50 years ago and we celebrate our 50th anniversary this year too. We have two challenges. The first is a Guild Challenge where each member is challenged to make an item of head wear for a new born. With over 80 members we hope to be able to donate at least 50 items to new borns in the Wairarapa.
The other is is simply '50'. It can be 50 of anything as long as it is made from fibre that is animal or plant. It could be a piece of woven cloth with 50 warp threads, it could be a felted 5 and 0.
Here is a preview of what I am doing.

As usual, we met outside (weather permitting) during the holiday month. First we went to Josie's farm, and sat in the shade under her lovely big trees.
Patrizia (who brought a furry companion) wanted to learn how to knit using carded sliver.
and soon she was making good progress.
We can't leave Josie's without showing you her splendid sunflowers. Can you spot the two bumblebees?
The next week we were at Lynette's, indoors because of the windy weather.
Jin the cat enjoyed the company. Doesn't he go well with Juanita's knitting!
Neither of your bloggers was able to go to Patrizia's the following week but a good time was had by all, in spite of yet more wind.
– beside the statue of Joseph Masters, who founded Masterton. The story of his life is well worth reading.

At our Wednesday meeting, if you leave the spinning and knitting and crochet behind for a bit and go upstairs, you will find up to half a dozen weavers busy at their looms.
To many of us, who can only admire the results (like this intriguing fabric and two pincushions by Jutta) the processes of weaving are a bit of a mystery.
It often seems to start with a birdsnest. Jutta is coping well with this one.
Somehow, the weaver disentangles each warp thread and put it through the correct little loop on the correct set of wire heddles. Helen is concentrating.
and still produce handsome results.
Then the weft – the threads that are to be woven across the long warp – has to be wound on shuttles ready for weaving. Helen has a handy gadget that speeds up the winding of miles of fine thread.
Here is the lovely fine fabric she is creating, with the little bobbin she was winding earlier fitted into a shuttle for smooth passage across the warp. She's pointing out that there are always imperfections to be repaired afterwards.
– the result is several bright, cosy wraps. When the weaving is finished and off the loom, of course, there is still work to do. Those ends may become a fringe, or be dealt with some other way.
Texture and pattern are combined in this piece by Jutta – see the zigzags?
Myra is new to weaving, but is making great progress. Getting those edges so straight is apparently not as easy as it looks.
There's also a loom set up for visitors to experiment with. It's popular with children, who enjoy experimenting with the patterns. Some of the results are hanging over the railing.

Aren't we the lucky ones! Not one but two Christmas functions. The first was a pot luck dinner held in The Woolshed Museum and the second a catered lunch at the Services Club in Masterton.
Lynette shared with us her stunning nativity.
Carol and Carl greeted us on arrival. Between main and dessert Trish had some of us up line dancing. Whew, I was pleased I was on camera duty. Lift those knees girls!
After dessert it was present time. Here Santa Win and Elf Herta discuss who was naughty and who was nice and how best to distribute the parcels. That's a big bag of presents.
Then a week later we had a very lively lunch at the Services Club in Masterton.
Mary and Bev, just two of our hard-working group.
And what do you do between courses?
You continue with those projects.
That's 2018 over for Wairarapa Spinners and Weavers. We will be back early next year and will meet at various homes until we come back officially on Tuesday 5 of February at 7.00pm and Wednesday 6 February at 10am at The Woolshed.
Mary and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We've seen some beautiful and interesting things lately at our Wednesday meetings.
Members have made cosy items for young and old (summer will be over before we know it, and in fact sometimes it feels like it already is).
Helga's exquisite silk spinning deserves a special mention.
At another meeting we saw some history: two very old and special sweaters. They were made in 1967, at a Wool Week in Wairoa which led to the formation of of our national body, which we now know as Creative Fibre. Two teams attempted a world fleece-to-garment record, and these are what they created.
The first was spun and knitted in the usual way. The other team used what we now know as kiwicraft. 'Māori women devised a unique way of knitting yarn without spinning the wool first. Women working as fleece-os (gathering shorn wool) in shearing sheds would roll freshly shorn wool on their thighs and knit the resulting strands with needles made from fencing wire in a practice known as uruahipi' (find out more at Te Ara, the Encyclopedia of New Zealand).
For more about the very beginning of Creative Fibre, see the second and third pages of your 2019 Creative Fibre diary, and to see the actual sweaters, come to the April 2019 Creative Fibre Festival, where they will be on display.
The animal is a reptile.
But what will a reptile do with that?
Give up? We all did.
It will be a hammock for her granddaughter's Bearded Dragon. Bearded Dragons are lizards native to Australia. This is what they look like.

From the editor: Campaigns make a difference - and now it's time for a new one

There are numerous reasons why I believe the local press still matters to a community and its people. Which is handy, you might say, given I'm the editor of this newspaper.
These include the ability to hold the powers-that-be to account, the strength to pull people together for a particular cause and the capacity to help someone through their own personal battle.
When a community has something to celebrate, such as Norwich City's forthcoming promotion (we hope), local media also plays an important role in helping to add to the sense of occasion, as well as providing something by which to remember that moment for years to come.
But perhaps the biggest impact that we can make is in the campaigns we choose – and it is often those causes that make journalists feel proudest about the sector they have chosen to work in.
There have been many examples of campaigns over the years that have helped to make a difference in people's lives. Several years ago the Evening News raised thousands of pounds so that teddy bears could go in ambulances and be handed to children if they, or their parents, needed treatment.
It didn't change lives but it made a real difference when that youngster needed to be kept calm.
Two years ago dozens of people came forward to support our Friend In Need campaign in which we asked people to give up their time to befriend the lonely or vulnerable.
Meanwhile, our ongoing Mental Health Watch has given sufferers some strength during their hour of need, increased awareness and made a difference to the standards of care.
The reason why I'm talking about this is because the time has come for the Evening News to get behind a new cause – and I'd like your help in deciding what that should be.
Do you know of something that is worthy of further coverage?
Is there an appeal, cause or idea that other readers might be prepared to rally behind?

China Outlines New Rockets, Space Station and Moon Plans
By Leonard David 2015-03-17T12:30:46Z
China is building upon a heritage of Long March boosters.
(Image: © CALT)
Rocket builders in China are slated to augment their Long March family of boosters this year and in 2016. According to Chinese news services, the country will soon fly their Long March 6 – likely in the middle of this year.
Additionally, China's Long March 7 and Long March 5 rockets are to make their first flights next year, according to Tan Yonghua, president of China's Academy of Aerospace Propulsion Technology, as reported in the state-run China Daily.
The academy is China's major player in developing liquid-fuelled rocket engines. It forms part of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, the major contractor for the country's space activities. [China in Space: The Latest News]
New liquid engine
The Long March 6 rocket will utilize a newly developed 120 ton thrust engine. That booster is a high-speed response launch vehicle capable of placing a payload of about 1 metric ton into a sun-synchronous orbit at a height of 700 kilometers.
Tan said that the new engine has been under development by the academy since 2000 and makes use of liquid oxygen and kerosene as its propellants – billed by China as more "eco-friendly" than current engines.
With the new engine, the Long March 5, Tan said, will have a payload capacity of 25 metric tons for low-Earth orbits, or 14 tons for geostationary transfer orbits.
The Long March 7 will be capable of sending payloads of 13.5 tons into low Earth orbits and of 5.5 tons into sun-synchronous orbits, Tan said.
The Long March 2 and Long March 3 rocket families, the backbones of Chinese launches, are headed for retirement within the next 10 years, with the Long March 7 and Long March 5 becoming the pillars of China's space program, Tao Gang, general manager of the Tianjin Long March Launch Vehicle Manufacturing Company Ltd. told China Daily late last year.
Space station elements
Next year's maiden flight of the Long March 5, a heavy-lift rocket, is the booster that is to place the Tiangong 2 space laboratory into Earth orbit in 2016 for visits by Chinese space crews.
The Tiangong space labs are viewed as building blocks to gain technical and operational expertise to construct a larger space station in the 2020s.

Enterprising moon mission?
In other Chinese space news, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported today that the Chang'e 4 lunar probe is to be launched before 2020.
According to the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (SASTIND) Chang'e 4 "will pilot a program that uses private investment from individuals and enterprises for the first time, a move aimed at accelerating aerospace innovation, cutting production costs and promoting military-civilian relationships."
Xinhua reports that Chang'e 4 — a backup probe for Chang'e 3 that put lander and rover on the moon in 2013 — will be given a "new mission" that will be decided after further study.
Leonard David has been reporting on the space industry for more than five decades. He is former director of research for the National Commission on Space and is co-author of Buzz Aldrin's 2013 book "Mission to Mars – My Vision for Space Exploration" published by National Geographic with a new updated paperback version to be released in May.
