Hey! I know that guy!!!
As I woke up I was reminded again that I could really get used to this river paddling. The camp site was so nice which results in some deep sleep. It was also nice to wake up to no blowing wind, crashing waves, flying teeth and worry about the tides. Today was starting off to be a good one and guess what, Rod's feet were healing and doing much better. If only the rest of the UFC could be like the past couple of days. We packed our boats fairly quickly and pushed off — WITH the current — another pleasant aspect of this stage of the UFC. Up to this point in the UFC we had only had one bad encounter with wildlife and that was really my fault. It was the incident with the alligator in the Everglades. I wasn't expecting a problem on the Suwannee River, but I didn't know about the jumping sturgeon. A sturgeon is a fish that looks like something from the dinosaur age. There have been so many folks hurt from collisions with these fish that there are signs warning boaters about them. No one we came across knew why they jump but they do jump. We would be peacefully paddling along, the river would be calm, and then all of a sudden this massive fish would come shooting out of the water. I don't know how deep they are in the river but they must be pretty deep to have the power to jump as high as they do. That was all we needed, to have one of these things jump out of the water and land on one of us. We must have seen no less than 30 jumps from these massive fish. Thankfully the sturgeon decided not to use us as hurdles. Other than the jumping sturgeon, the paddle down river was very pleasant. As we approached a turn in the river we could hear folks and figured it was a local boat ramp. As we came around the bend I noticed a Sea Wind canoe. Since Sea Winds are built by Kruger Canoes in Michigan there are not a lot of them around in this neck of the woods. As we got closer I realized I knew the owner. It was a fellow WaterTriber who goes by the tribe name "Jarhead." He had come up from Tampa and put his canoe in to cheer us on. It was great to see him and catchup on things. Interesting how an interaction with a friend can lift your spirits because Jarhead's visit was definitely a moral boost. This ia a video he took of us.
As you can tell from the video, the day was beautiful and it stayed this way for the rest of the day. As with most rivers, the Suwannee changes as you go further down stream. In the upper sections it was windy, low river banks with lots of nice sand bars to camp on. In the mid sections the river becomes wide and the river banks become steep which limited the number of camp sites. As night approached we were in our search for a good camp site. The luck we had on the two previous days in finding a site seemed to have left us. As the day light was leaving we found an aluminum dock that was a landing for a local park. The park was closed and we would be gone before it open so aluminum dock it was. Gee, an aluminum dock on the river that was just wide enough for our tents. Nothing like going from sleeping on a nice sand bar to an aluminum dock that of course had the surface roughed up so no one slipped on it. Oh, and as far as being quiet, not possible on aluminum. The biggest thing I was worried about was waking up in the middle of the night and not remembering to be careful how far I step from the tent opening or that I would lose my balance. Either situation would have resulted in a quick dip in the river. Talk about a wake up call. As I was sitting in my tent I could not stop thinking about the fact that in two more days we would be at the last checkpoint and I would see Lisa. Those nightly phone calls, even thought they were short, help in taking the edge off of not seeing her. Since my cellphone had died on the east coast I had not talked to her since Fargo and I was finding myself missing her greatly. Hopefully the next two days would be easy ones. But then that would NOT be characteristic of the 2012 UFC.


You don't buy radiators for your home that often and you may be surprised to learn that radiator design and technology has changed considerably in recent years.
All radiators are finished in white enamel (RAL 9010), each radiator is de-greased and zinc phosphated and then primer coated with water based cataphoretic paint. The top coat is applied using an epoxy-polyester electrostatic powder coating system that is baked to a superb hard waring finish.
There are designs and sizes of radiators to fit all your requirements and needs. Choose from compact double panel radiators, cool touch low surface radiators, tubular steel radiators or towel rails.


Raikov added that one of the purposes of presenting the new evidence would be to convince the European Union to add Hizbullah to its list of terrorist groups. Raikov was speaking at NATO headquarters in Brussels.
On February 5, Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said that evidence had been found linking two men who were involved in the July 19, 2012 attack on a tourist bus to Hizbullah. The bus was full of Israeli tourists. Five Israelis were killed in the attack. An EU spokesperson said at the time that Europe would consider blacklisting Hizbullah, although many governments of individual EU countries have been reluctant to do so because, they claim, it would increase "tensions" in the Middle East.
Raikov, who is acting Prime Minister of Bulgaria until elections in May, said that his government would not initiate proceedings to blacklist Bulgaria. All EU member countries may initiate such proceedings, but none have.

on the Plan of a Proprietary Government, &c.
By T. Horton James, Esq., London, 1832.
OF the legality or expediency of Great Britain taking possession of and colonising the Sandwich and Bonin Islands we are not competent to judge; but there are many matters in this small pamphlet of such general interest that we only do our duty in bringing them under public observation.
Mr. James, it appears, has recently returned home from a voyage round the world, during which he spent some months among the Sandwich Islands; and we lament to say that his account of them is of the most melancholy description.
No wonder the population is gradually falling off, when, added to this system of frightening the people, and charging them a dollar forgetting married, they are compelled to attend the church and school four days out of seven, and the fifth day is spent in compulsory labor for the chiefs ; thus leaving only two whole days for the purpose of tillage and growing their necessary food.
English or American gentleman to ride on horseback on Sundays, or drink spirituous liquors, or play at bowls or billiards on any day in the week; whilst they themselves are driven about the town and about the country, four-in-hand, with their wives and families, Sundays and working days, not by horses, which are plentiful and cheap enough in those islands, but by human beings, by four naked black fellows, their own hearers, and probably fellow-communicants!
In short, civilisation, as it is unfortunately going on at present in the Sandwich Islands, under the mismanagement of the American missionaries, is only another word for extinction.

The PLMIG announces that the Institution of Mechanical Engineers will host the next workshop in the PLM Standardisation series at the IMechE Headquarters in London on December 01-02.
"PLM is starting to become a key business tool as it enables a holistic approach to product development." says Philippa Oldham, Head of Transport and Manufacturing at the IMechE. "PLM not only manages the processes but can manage the data, people and business systems. The Institution of Mechanical Engineers believes that PLM is an important tool to be incorporated within businesses to ensure that the processes are lean, cost effective and driving out waste, while still maintaining high quality to produce a product fulfilling a market need."
Partnership with the IMechE creates a number of new opportunities that have not been part of the series so far, and whose effects go far beyond the confines of the event itself. One of the biggest is to create a clear relationship between a professional industry body and the whole subject of PLM. A lot of companies may become more aware of PLM as a serious subject and, in following this lead, will find it easier to adopt PLM as a result.
Many of the underlying problems in PLM are due to the lack of clear national or industry-wide guidance to show the best ways of adoption and implementation. User companies have also been seeking a common voice to influence how the PLM industry develops via supplier roadmapping and delivery.
Participation in the London Workshop will help shape this process, and lay the foundations for improvements that may be carried forward by other institutions around the world.
For more information, see the PLMIG web site or contact Roger Tempest at standards@plmig.com.

When faith makes a family
Oklahoma churches, including many in Tulsa, are partnering with the state to meet the needs of children in foster care.
By Morgan Phillips
Jonette Coquat with her three children, ages 8, 4 and 3. Coquat became a foster parent to the sibling group 3 1/2 years ago and is raising the children with the support of her Tulsa church.
"Does God get what God wants?"
The question echoed off the walls of the auditorium filled with northeastern Oklahoma church leaders and members. Benjamin Nockels repeated it. Again, silence.
Nockels, a former Oklahoma City pastor, is today what he calls the "visionary leader" behind the 111Project, a statewide initiative to leave no Oklahoma child without a family. The crowd he spoke to Oct. 4 was gathered for the statewide 8308 Conference at Southern Hills Baptist Church, where representatives of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services and Tulsa churches spoke about foster care needs.
The conference is named for the 8,308 children who were in state custody on Jan. 1, according to OKDHS. These children — newborns to age 18 — do not have families to care for them. They may have been neglected, abandoned or abused. They may have been subjected to extreme poverty or drug abuse. Their caregivers may have been incarcerated. Now, they've been removed from the only home they've known.
In late 2010, Nockels was asked to represent the Oklahoma City faith community at a meeting with leaders from OKDHS, the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives and the community to assess the need for recruiting additional foster families across the state.
"(OKDHS representatives) said, 'We need as many as 1,500 more foster families statewide, and we, DHS, have identified the faith community as the very best place to go get these families, but we don't have access to them,'" Nockels recalls.
As a result of what Nockels calls "a groundswell of activity" in the statewide faith community around foster care, the 111Project — which stands for "1 church, 1 family, 1 purpose" — launched in April 2011 in Oklahoma City, followed by a Tulsa launch in October 2011. While the project is not affiliated with OKDHS and receives no state funding, it supports the objectives of OKDHS, Nockels says.
At press time, 92 Oklahoma churches — mostly from Oklahoma City and Tulsa — had pledged more than 400 families from their congregations to foster a child or children through the 111Project, and more than 300 families had committed to do so. However, Nockels says OKDHS would like to add 500 more foster families by June 30, 2013, a goal outlined in the agency's Pinnacle Plan.
Tulsa's unique strength is its volunteer-led effort of about 20 individuals working directly with churches, Nockels says.
Mollie Myers, director of City Church's LoveTulsa ministry, is one of those volunteers. In April 2011, she and a group of church members visited the Laura Dester Children's Center in north Tulsa for Easter activities with children in the shelter's temporary care.
Myers later realized two of the boys who had helped her hide eggs had been in her own church's children's department years ago.
"It just undid me. It messed me up so badly," she says. "I was like, 'Oh, God, what could we have done? Where did we drop the ball?' I felt so condemned in some ways, because we had this family in our church."
Myers says many people believe it's the job of OKDHS to raise children whose families cannot provide the care they need. In fact, she admits she used to feel the same way.
"Well, it's DHS' goal to make sure that child is safe, but it's not their job to raise that child," she says. "They're not a parent. They're not a family, and they shouldn't have to act as one, and they are having to act as one right now."
On Tuesday evenings, Myers reads to the children at the shelter. Volunteers aren't allowed into bedrooms, though the kids ask her repeatedly to come in to read to them. She calls the experience "heart-wrenching," yet she is compelled to return each week.
"It feels so institutional," Myers says. "It's like, 'I want to come in there and talk to you, and brush your hair and put you to sleep, just like I do my own kids, but I have to (read) from the doorway.'"
The saddest part is, Myers says, "I've been reading to some of the same kids for months."

Every so often someone comes along that adds brilliance to the reggae landscape. In 2006 SherKhan, a talented musician and producer, quietly presented reggae listeners with the 'Wharfedale' Riddim. Any true fan of roots reggae was highly appreciative of this classic, easy grooving, and timeless one drop riddim. SherKhan forced everyone to stand up and take notice. His label, Tiger Records had officially arrived on the scene. More than 4 years have passed since the 'Wharfedale' riddim and SherKhan has continued to inject quality into the lifeblood of what is roots-reggae.(Namely the 'Ol Sitt'n', 'Arena', and 'Sufferah' riddims.) His latest riddim project, 'Box Guitar', testifies to that fact. It is a smooth, one-drop with a constant and delicate guitar that nicely compliments the riddim without expressly defining it. Several tracks include a welcome saxophone piece or horn section that adds a beautiful dimension, if not depth, to the riddim. SherKhan shows there are many possibilities available to a producer in order to make a seemingly repetitive process one that shows diversity and distinction. He enlists the services of several of Jamaica's hottest artists while at the same time calling on a couple of reggae veterans to round out a fabulous set.
Junior X's Cross My Heart is absolutely sick! Lyrically potent with a ridiculous flow and hook! The best song of his young career and possibly of any song this year! Lutan Fyah blazes on Feliesha, a tune begging a beauty he has his eye on to let him in. Veteran Mikey General is as smooth and poignant as ever on Time Soon Come. 'Tigress' Diana Rutherford holds a vibe on Still A Lady. Likkle Devon does his best Jah Cure on Pain. Terry Ganzie returns strong on The First Time We Met. 'The Outlaw' sounds as crystal clear and unique as he did when he debuted for Donovan Germaine in the early 90s. Perfect provides his usual craftiness on Once Again, while Norrisman stands strong on the ever-conscious We Are The People. Zamunda's No Place In Babylon is solid, while French born newcomer Bazil, recently signed to the Tiger imprint, impresses on the timely and topical Critical Situation. SherKhan has done it again. Crucial!!


In a career that spanned over thirty years, George Herman "Babe" Ruth changed the way the sport of baseball was played. He was the first true power hitter, a strong pitcher, and in the outfield made some amazing game-saving catches. His love of the sport shined through in the way he laughed while jogging around the bases, in how he kidded and horsed around with teammates, and in his overall determination to win. But there was a darker side to Babe, one that nearly ruined his career - and his life. In the end, however, Ruth managed to overcome his personal demons, recapture his health, and go on to lead his beloved Yankees to championship status. Simply put, there has never been another player like the Babe.

On Апр 20, 2022
Local civilians walk past a tank destroyed during heavy fighting in an area controlled by Russian-backed separatist forces in Mariupol, Ukraine, Tuesday, April 19, 2022. —
Russian forces have continued their new offensive in the east of Ukraine, assaulting cities and towns along a boomerang-shaped front hundreds of miles long.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Russian military was throwing everything it has into the battle, which could be pivotal for control of the country's eastern industrial heartland.
Read more about Wednesday's events as they unfolded in our blog below.
Wednesday's key points:
1 Wednesday's key points:
2 Desperate plea from Mariupol: We are «maybe facing our last days, if not hours»
3 Russia issues new 2pm deadline for surrender of fighters in Mariupol
4 Ukraine receives fighter planes and spare parts: Pentagon
5 Google denies reports it has made Russian military facilities visible on Maps
6 Russia assaults cities and towns along a boomerang-shaped front hundreds of miles long
Russian troops have poured into eastern Ukraine in what both sides describe as a new phase of the war, a potentially pivotal battle for control of the country's industrial heartland.
The Russian military has made fresh demands for the defenders of Mariupol to lay down their arms.
Desperate plea from Mariupol: We are «maybe facing our last days, if not hours»
A commander in the besieged Azovstal power plant in Mariupol has issued a desperate plea for help, saying his marines were «maybe facing our last days, if not hours».
«The enemy is outnumbering us 10 to one,» Serhiy Volyna from the 36th Separate Marine Brigade said.
«We appeal and plead to all world leaders to help us. We ask them to use the procedure of extraction and take us to the territory of a third-party state.»
Thousands of troops and civilians remain holed up in the plant.
An advisor to the mayor of Mariupol described a «horrible situation» in the encircled complex and reported that up to 2,000 people — mostly women and children — are without «normal» supplies of drinking water, food, and fresh air.
Russia issues new 2pm deadline for surrender of fighters in Mariupol
The Russian military has made fresh demands for the Ukrainian defenders of Mariupol to lay down their arms.
The Russian defence ministry said in a statement that its forces had opened a humanitarian corridor "for the withdrawal of Ukrainian servicemen and militants of nationalist formations" from the Azovstal plant, which covers about 11 square kilometres and is the last major Ukrainian pocket of resistance in Mariupol, a strategic port on the Sea of Azov.
Those withdrawing would need to be fighters ready to voluntarily lay down their arms, as well as civilians, it said.
The ministry added that as of 22:00 Moscow time on April 19, 2022, no one had used the specified corridor.
Further, the statement said that Russia would "once again" offer those fighting the option to lay down their weapons from 2pm (Moscow time) on Wednesday, 20 April.

Ukraine receives fighter planes and spare parts: Pentagon
Ukraine has received fighter planes and aircraft parts to bolster its air force in the face of Russia's invasion, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, declining to specify the number of aircraft or their origin.
The announcement comes a week after US President Joe Biden unveiled an $800 million military aid package for Kyiv, including heavier equipment such as howitzers, as fighting escalates in eastern Ukraine.
The moves indicate a change in attitude in the West, which had initially refused to provide Ukraine with heavy armaments to avoid action Russia could consider direct involvement in the conflict.
Ukrainian forces «right now have available to them more fixed-wing fighter aircraft than they did two weeks ago,» Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Tuesday.
Google denies reports it has made Russian military facilities visible on Maps
Misleading rumours spread on social media that Google Maps had revealed satellite images of Russia's military infrastructure.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces had claimed on Twitter that «everyone can now see a variety of Russian launchers» after Google «opened access». The rumours were also widely shared by Ukrainian media organisations and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's former spokesperson Iuliia Mendel.
However, a Google spokesperson told Euronews. that they «haven't made any blurring changes to our satellite imagery in Russia».
Satellite images of military facilities around the world are occasionally blurred or displayed in a lower quality on Google Maps to protect their classified status.
Russia assaults cities and towns along a boomerang-shaped front hundreds of miles long
Russian troops poured into Ukraine on Tuesday in a potentially pivotal battle for control of the country's eastern industrial heartland of coal mines and factories.
If successful, the Russian offensive in what is known as the Donbas would essentially slice Ukraine in two. In Mariupol, the now-devastated port city in the Donbas, Ukrainian troops said the Russian military was dropping heavy bombs to flatten what was left of a sprawling steel plant and hit a hospital where hundreds were staying.
Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said Moscow's forces bombarded numerous Ukrainian military sites, including troop concentrations and missile-warhead storage depots, in or near several cities or villages.
Those claims could not be independently verified.
In what both sides described as a new phase of the war, the Russian assault began Monday along a front stretching more than 480 kilometres from northeastern Ukraine to the country's southeast.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Russian military was throwing everything it has into the battle, with most of its combat-ready forces now concentrated in Ukraine and just across the border in Russia.

What To Do About Realme Gt 5g
Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth has already confirmed that it will launch the same variant in India with no adjustments. Realme is set to launch its most-highly effective smartphone — Realme GT 5G, realme gt 5G Grasp Edition, and its first laptop computer — Realme Slim Ebook in India. One will have first to uninstall as there are more than ten apps that might be unnecessary, and never everyone will use them. The corporampte has scheduled a digital launch occasion for tomorrow August 18, the place the corporate will unveil the three units. The phone is predicated on the newest Android 11, overlaying Realme UI 2. Zero with security from October 2021. It has a set of three cameras; this is the biggest of which is equipped with a 64-megapixel lens with the ability to file 4K pictures at 30 frames per second.
The Realme UI 2.0 software, based on Android 11, is closely equivalent to Oppo's Coloration OS V11 software program, to the purpose the place you possibly can choose the identical icon shape and size, plus the same font, to achieve precisely the same look, all from equivalent Settings pages. The smartphone runs the Android eleven operating system topped with the company's Realme UI 2.0. The smartphone features an automotive-inspired design. Talking concerning the pricing, Sheth said that Realme GT 5G is a flagship smartphone, so it will likely be priced above Rs 30,000 attributable to its specs and construct quality. GT will function the facility-packed Snapdragon 888, a sport-changer within the fields of 5G, AI, gaming & pictures. As mentioned above, Realme GT 5G is probably the most-highly effective smartphone of the company, and it is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor.
The GT Grasp is extra of a midrange with a Snapdragon 778G chipset, 64MP triple digital camera on the again, and a 32MP selfie shooter. On a day after day foundation, I've been more than proud of the pics for social media and sharing. Read about it and see how the cellphone stands in opposition to the opposite flagship units. It also shares the same screen with its flagship sibling, down to the scale and resolution. It also comes with a lovely 6.43″ Super AMOLED display screen with a 120Hz refresh fee, 64MP important digicam, and 65W quick charging. The battery is a tad smaller than the GT 5G. Nevertheless, it keeps the 65W fast charging capabilities. The GT supports Realme's 65W SuperDart charging know-how, which implies the USB-C charger in the field can take you from 0% to 100% in as little as 35 minutes.

Q: js function inside function and wait for return value $(document).ready(function(){

    // Global function (will be include in any HTML file)
    function m3_result(size_1, size_2, size_3){
        $.get('http://www.google.com', function(data){
            return data;
        });
    }

    // Another function
    function calculate(){
        var size_1 = parseFloat($('#add_document_form #size_1').val());
        var size_2 = parseFloat($('#add_document_form #size_2').val());
        var size_3 = parseFloat($('#add_document_form #size_3').val());
        var ax = m3_result(size_1, size_2, size_3);

        alert(ax); // Here ax return: UNDEFINED
    }

    // Run
    calculate();
});

Results are "undefined", but I would like that calculate() will wait for m3_result() to execute. I see that here problem is coming when I added $.get(), but its needed...
I have searching for callback() like functions, but none fit to my needs, or I just didnt put that right.
Any help will be highly appreciated, thanks.

GET url will be localy and element IDs are also ok.

A: You can't return a result from an asynchronous function, instead you can return a promise to supply that value later, which as it happens is the jqXHR object returned by $.get:
function m3_result() {
     return $.get(...)
}

and do the same in calculate:
function calculate() {
    ...
    return m3_result(...);
}

and then wait for the result, which will be passed as a parameter to the callback registered with the .done function:
calculate().done(function(result) {
    alert(result);
});

My prayers are with my friends and colleagues who will be at the upcoming United Methodist General Conference, working to pass legislation to screen fossil fuels out of United Methodist investment portfolios. There are both economic and moral reasons to do so.
The economic argument is that investors in fossil fuels face "stranded assets" and the resulting financial loss as coal, oil, and gas companies are unable to extract and burn all the reserves upon which their projected profits and stock values are based. United Methodists advocate for strong environmental regulations and a widespread switch to renewable energy sources, but if these changes take place, many of the reserves will be unavailable. Furthermore, as we have seen with the bankruptcy of Peabody Coal and the recent downgrading of Exxon Mobil stock, it is quite clear that market forces related to fossil fuels are volatile.
Still, the moral argument is strongest: it is wrong to profit from wrecking the planet. Ending our addiction to fossil fuels should override arguments based on economic self-interest or the economic interests of our denomination.
As United Methodists and as followers of Christ, we should have no part in investments in fossil fuels, which pollute the atmosphere with the persistent greenhouse gases that are causing climate change, bringing disaster upon people, harming creation, and foreclosing the future. Rather, we should be investing ourselves and our money in renewable, life-sustaining, and regenerative enterprises. By doing so, we step away from institutional complicity in destroying creation, affirm our deepest values, and offer a vision of hope for a transformed world.

Q: Any repercussions from declaring a pointer to a channel in golang? type Stuff {
    ch chan int
}

versus
type Stuff {
    ch *chan int
}

I know that channels are reference types & thus is mutable when returned by functions or as arguments. When is an address of a channel useful in a real world program ?

A: Perhaps your channel is used for rotating logs and you want to rotate (swap) logs; swap channel (log) pointers not values.
For example,
package main

import "fmt"

func swapPtr(a, b *chan string) {
    *a, *b = *b, *a
}

func swapVal(a, b chan string) {
    a, b = b, a
}

func main() {
    {
        a, b := make(chan string, 1), make(chan string, 1)
        a <- "x"
        b <- "y"
        swapPtr(&a, &b)
        fmt.Println("swapped")
        fmt.Println(<-a, <-b)
    }
    {
        a, b := make(chan string, 1), make(chan string, 1)
        a <- "x"
        b <- "y"
        swapVal(a, b)
        fmt.Println("not swapped")
        fmt.Println(<-a, <-b)
    }
}

Output:
swapped
y x
not swapped

Asturias, officially the Principality of Asturias, is an autonomous community in northwest Spain. It is coextensive with the province of Asturias and contains some of the territory that was part of the larger Kingdom of Asturias in the Middle Ages. Divided into eight comarcas (counties), the autonomous community of Asturias is bordered by Cantabria to the east, by León (Castile and León) to the south, by Lugo (Galicia) to the west, and by the Bay of Biscay (Cantabrian sea) to the north. Asturias is situated in a mountainous setting with vast greenery and lush vegetation, making it part of Green Spain. The region has a maritime climate. It receives plenty of annual rainfall and little sunshine by Spanish standards and has very moderated seasons, most often averaging in the lower 20s celsius. Heatwaves are rare due to mountains blocking southerly winds. Winters are very mild for the latitude, especially near sea level. Asturias is also home of the Princess of Asturias Awards. The paleolithic art in the caves of Asturias is declared World Heritage Site with the Paleolithic Art of Northern Spain. read more…

The European Union: Climate Policy
2 February 2020 | Author/Destination: Knut Wingsch | Rubric: Editorial, Environment, European Union, General Reading Time: 285 minutes
(Latest update: 16 January 2022) The European Union's climate policy is a European policy area that aims to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to transform European economies into a low carbon economy. On the one hand, the EU's climate policy aims to reduce its own emissions of greenhouse gases (mitigation), for example through the emissions trading system that has existed since 2005. However, since limiting anthropogenic climate change can ultimately only be achieved at the global level, the EU is also actively involved in the negotiations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The EU's climate policy also pursues the goal of limiting the effects of climate change (adaptation), for example through civil protection measures in Europe or through conflict prevention in developing countries. read more…

Airbnb Weighs Employee Stock Sale at $13 Billion Valuation
Douglas MacMillan, Mike Spector and Evelyn M. Rusli broke the news that Airbnb Inc. was speaking with investors about an employee stock sale with a valuation of the company that could reach $13 billion. The company does not plan to issue new shares and therefore wouldn't be raising any cash for itself, according to sources.

5:44 PM EDT: Airbnb Investment Would Let Employees Sell Shares–Sources
5:44 PM EDT: Airbnb Weighs Employee Stock Sale at $13 Billion Valuation
By Douglas MacMillan, Mike Spector and Evelyn M. Rusli
Airbnb Inc. has met with investors to discuss a new round of financing that could the value the apartment-rental site at about $13 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
The company is arranging for investors to buy employee shares, rather than issue new shares, two of the people said. That means the company wouldn't be raising any cash for itself.
The round could total more than $50 million, two of the people said, but it hasn't yet closed and the funding amount and valuation could still change, they cautioned. It's unclear which investors have agreed to participate.
An Airbnb spokeswoman declined to comment.
Airbnb's rising valuation– it was valued at $10 billion in April–underscores the startup's growing popularity as an alternative to hotels for millions of travelers and a new source of income for homeowners.
Tech startups now commonly arrange private share sales for their employees. The transactions, known as secondary share sales, are designed to reward staff by letting them cash in some of their shares while putting off an initial public offering. By tightly managing the sales, companies can keep control over their ownership structure and try to prevent leaks of sensitive financial information.
Earlier this year, Square Inc. insiders sold shares to investors at a valuation near $5.2 billion, a person familiar with the matter has said. This month, Square raised $150 million, partly from the government of Singapore, at a $6 billion price.
Airbnb, led by co-founder and Chief Executive Brian Chesky, has already raised $800 million in seven rounds of financing. Its wide array of investors include venture capital firms like Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital; the growth arm of private-equity firm TPG; a mutual fund, T. Rowe Price; and a hedge fund, Dragoneer Investment Group.
Already one of the most valuable private tech companies in the world, a new valuation of $13 billion would bump Airbnb up into an even rarer class of ultra-valuable startups. Only Uber Technologies Inc., valued at $18.2 billion in a round of financing last April, has recently received a higher price tag.
The apartment-rental site is still more valuable than two of the largest publicly-traded hotel chains. Wyndham Worldwide Corp. has a market capitalization of $9.8 billion and Hyatt Hotels Corp. is worth $9.2 billion.
Airbnb is still navigating challenges from regulators in large markets like New York, where attorney general Eric Schneiderman claims nearly three-fourths of its rentals are illegal and has vowed to take action against people who violate local laws by renting out multiple rooms on the site.
Elsewhere, Airbnb has scored important victories. In its home city of San Francisco, the board of supervisors this month passed legislation to formally legalize short-term rentals of less than 30 days, which previously were barred in the city.
The company is unlikely to start prepping for an IPO at least until it hires a new chief financial officer. Its previous CFO, Andrew Swain, left the company in September and a search is underway for his replacement.

Who votes for the Academy Awards and why are they called the Oscars?
Everything you need to know about the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and how the voting works
By Ellie Harrison
Monday, 25th February 2019 at 8:30 am
Whether you're working in movies or a casual observer, the 2019 Academy Awards are the film industry's most prestigious night of the year, singling out the very best on-screen talent and behind-the-scenes movie masterminds with its list of nominations.
But who actually votes for the shortlists and winners? Where does the name "Oscars" come from and what are the awards themselves made of?
Here's our guide to all you need to know…
When are the 2019 Oscars? How can I watch on TV?
Oscars 2019: Who are the nominees?

We put together this video to show this year's nominees what it feels like backstage after you win an Oscar. #OscarsLunch pic.twitter.com/PKNcWpSOwe
— The Academy (@TheAcademy) February 4, 2019
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences – more commonly known as the Academy – is the world's leading film organisation.
It is made up of 8,000 members – "accomplished men and women working in cinema" according to the Academy's website – who vote for the awards.
The names of Academy members are a closely guarded secret but they are all film industry professionals, ranging from actors, directors and writers to producers and executives, and anyone nominated for or awarded an Oscar gets instant admission.

In recent years, efforts have been made to overhaul the membership and make it more diverse.
According to a 2014 survey conducted by the Los Angeles Times, 76% of voters were men, 94% of them were white and they were on average 63 years old.
Following the #OscarsSoWhite outcry in 2016, in which industry stars including Will Smith boycotted the ceremony in protest at its nominations' lack of diversity, the Academy announced plans to double its number of women and diverse members by 2020.
We must stand in our power!
We must stand in our power.
Posted by Jada Pinkett Smith on Monday, January 18, 2016
In June 2016 the Academy invited 683 new members to join, 41% of which were people of colour and 46% of which were female.
Progress continued in 2017 when the Academy saw a record-breaking addition of 774 new members from 57 different countries.
How does Oscars voting work?
The Academy's voting process is incredibly elaborate and complicated, but we've laid out the basics below…
First, Academy members must choose the nominees:
Each member is only permitted to suggest nominees within their discipline. For example, writers nominate writers, actors nominate actors, costume designers nominate costume designers, etc. This is done using a preferential ballot with Academy members putting down up to five nominees per category in order. Everyone can vote for Best Picture.
Once the choices are in, accountancy firm PwC tallies the entries using the "alternative vote" system: this means all the first-choice ballots for each film are counted, and the movies/individuals that score above a certain threshold – also known as "the Magic Number" – secure an instant nomination. So if the "Magic Number" is set at 100 first-choice ballots and Roma gets 101, it becomes a nominee.
Next, the movie/individual securing the lowest number of first choice votes is eliminated from the process and their ballot's second-choice get an additional vote. This process is repeated, pushing more nominees over the threshold until five are decided on.
The one exception to this process is the Best Picture category, for which there can be anywhere between five and ten nominees on the shortlist. This year eight films are up for the coveted prize.
If a movie garners a particularly high number of first-choice ballot votes – pushing it way beyond that aforementioned "Magic Number" – in order to avoid wasting votes on a popular film, a trickle-down process is introduced whereby their ballots' second choices receive additional backing.
How to watch Oscars highlights on NOW TV today
Once the shortlists are announced for each category in January, Academy members must choose the winners:
Members are sent a second ballot, and – this is much more straightforward – have to pick their favourite choice in each category, except for Best Picture which sticks to the preferential ballot system. Professionals from all disciplines can vote in all categories in this second round, although they're discouraged from weighing in on disciplines they don't know much about.
Why are they called the Oscars?
The origins of the nickname are disputed, but the most popular story is that when Academy librarian Margaret Herrick – who went on to become executive director – first saw the statuettes in 1931, she said they reminded her of her Uncle Oscar.
However Bette Davis has also claimed to have coined the term, saying that she named the statue after her husband Harmon Oscar Nelson.
Columnist Sidney Skolsky also insisted that he first came up with the name in a 1934 article.
Whoever is respondible, the name caught on and the Academy made it official in 1939.
What are the Oscars statuettes made of?
The statuettes are made of solid bronze and plated in 24-karat gold.
Due to a metal shortage during the Second World War, the awards had to be made from painted plaster for three consecutive years.
After World War II, the Academy invited winners to swap in their plaster figures for gold-plated metal ones.
The 2019 Academy Awards will be held on Sunday 24th February 2019
Oscars highlights are on Monday 25th February at 8pm on Sky Cinema Oscars and 9pm on Sky1

Ruby Patterns
=============

Those are application patterns recommended and frequently used by me in my apps. The aim is not to provide the standard GOF patterns, but real life snippets for scenarios I came across frequently.

Some of the examples, might not be the simplest to follow, this might be due the fact, that I was trying to make them no the typical over-simplified blog examples, but close to real life situations.

All examples can be found in the specs. The implementations are kept within the specs - this is the way I always start an implementation, first write spec and implementation in one file, only if it's done, move it to its own file and include in the general codebase.

## General Guidelines
### Errors
Errors should be nested in a module in your library or app.

```ruby
module RubyPatterns
  class MyError < StandardError; end
end
```

### Specs

#### described_class
In the `describe` prefer adding a type instead of a string description for __unit tests__. Here I refer to `RubyPatters::MyError` to make sure the class actually exists. Also use `described_class` to refer to that class. If you change the name, you have to change it only in one place.

```ruby
describe RubyPatterns::MyError do
  specify{
    expect { raise described_class }.to_raise described_class
  }
end
```
References:
 * [spec/examples/parse_params_spec.rb](spec/examples/parse_params_spec.rb)

### Units of Work
 * small units of work
 * one class or module per activity (SRP)

### One Module for a Use Case Group

## Examples

## Inner Exception
Now Ruby 2.1 has brought the `#cause` method with the inner exception, if you're on an earlier version of ruby, use this:

```ruby
class ParseParamsError < StandardError
  attr_reader :inner
  def initialize(msg, inner=$ERROR_INFO)
    super(msg)
    @inner = inner
  end
end
```

Part II – As we wrote yesterday, in our next of the woods, here in suburban Long Island, New York, two recent tragic incidents have shocked newspaper readers and TV watchers, whether they live in these parts, elsewhere in the country…or in some distant place on the planet. These incidents raise many disturbing questions about the state of the American society in this 21st Century.
"Black Friday," they call it. It's traditionally the day after Thanksgiving, when many mass retailers supposedly can see black ink on the ledgers (vs. the red ink of lost sales, especially in these economic times), and the signal that the Christmas season shopping frenzy in on. In our local newspapers, and on television, we saw endless promotions for store sales leading up to Thanksgiving. One of the busiest manufacturers' outlet malls in the nation is in our neck of the woods, and the stores there were open at Midnight on Thanksgiving. The highways and byways were jammed with mall-bound bargain seekers, so much so that auxiliary parking had to be arranged nearby.
In Part I yesterday we wrote of the tragic death of immigrant from Ecuador, Marcello Lucero, that has put Long Island, New York on the world's media radars because of the way he died: as police have alleged, and as a grand jury has agreed, at the hands of a gang of local youth on the prowl for immigrants to taunt and attack. Part II is about the tragic death of another man – Jdimytai Damour – who was a temporary maintenance worker for giant retailer Wal-Mart in its Valley Stream store.
Valley Stream is a border town, also an incorporated village (equivalent to a small city elsewhere) like Patchogue an hour's drive to the east. If you landed at Kennedy International surely you have flown over this area, which lies below on your plane's final approach, and right on the border of Nassau and Queens counties. All roads seem to lead to Valley Stream: there are several major highways and thoroughfares bringing heavy volumes of traffic eastward from the two heavily populated New York City counties on the west end of Long Island. And so it was as Thanksgiving gatherings ended and late night approached that crowds headed for the Wal-Mart store and other retailers for the Black Friday events. And here is where the national and even international news coverage would be centered.
At the Wal-Mart store literally thousands of people gathered through the night to await the opening of the store, scheduled for 5 a.m. on Black Friday. Nassau County Police Department officials estimate that at least 2,000 people were at the doors by that hour. There's an active post mortem of the day's events going on now locally, but this is what Newsday is reporting in its extensive coverage.
In the early morning hours, police visited the store (which is located in a large regional mall) and found nothing unusual going on ("no criminality") – the crowd (about 500 at that point) were told to remain orderly over a bullhorn. Wal-Mart had hired its own security guards to keep order. At 5 a.m. the crowd surged – breaking the store's doors and overwhelming staff inside. According to reports, 34-year old Jdimytai Damour (who was reported as being physically large) was told to help keep order. He was not trained in crowd control or security. As the mob –this is what the eager shoppers became – surged forward, the young man was knocked down, and despite the efforts of his co-workers, was run over by the crowd…and died. Died. In a mad dash to grab bargain-priced items off Wal-Mart shelves, this young man was stomped to death.
At Bentonville, Arkansas company spokespeople were saying: they were cooperating with the Nassau County Police Department; the store had hired outside security help; put up barricades; and had consulted with local police before Black Friday. But – we learned that each store decides how much security to hire. Each store is responsible for taking extra precautions on days like Black Friday to make sure that there's a safe environment for shoppers and employees. (As reported by Newsday, November 30, 2008.) Retailing experts point out that other large chains develop standards to guide local outlets.
It's another week now; the holiday shopping goes on at the Valley Stream Wal-Mart; his family and community mourns the death of the young man – whose family is in New York and Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Jdimytai is described as a good man, always helping friends, who attended the local community college in Nassau County.
The tragedy is not only told in the death of this man, but also in the widespread reports that no one would stop in the mob's run to the counters to help him!
And we ask ourselves: How could this happen? How could we get to the point as a people that things (in the store) matter much more than people? In a microcosm, the Valley Stream mob stampede tells us a lot about the American obsession with things, shopping, bargain, sales, materialism, consumerism, and more.
We seem to have forgotten the reasons why we celebrate Christmas, and we have strayed a very long way from the way the Holy Day was celebrated in early decades and centuries. Is this only about shopping frenzy for many Americans?
No matter where you live, chances are you'll be following the aftermath of these two tragic stories. For those of us who live where the deaths happen, many questions remain – and the answers (and lessons) to come are most important.
In Part I, December 1, we commented on the tragic death of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorian immigrant, allegedly killed by a teen gang seeking immigrants to taunt and attack.


On Saturday the weather was sunny, but the conditions like I described earlier. I took penalties 1+1 ending half a minute after the winner. I don't know what's really wrong in my riffle. It just doesn't want to co-operate with me when temperature getting below 10^^/ Once again I was loosing time on the range when taking a couple of reserve shots one by one… And this took at least.. mm. half a minute?
Anyways, it was nice to have some swedish and estonian concurrents to compete here! so congrats Elisabeth and Carro who managed to get the podium place in Sundays sprint! I shot even worse than the previous days 2+1 but in skiing times I was just in the top (when we don't count the winning Teija who was so damn good!:)). We got some new snow during the night so there was in addition to freezing temperatures, also soft new snow!! Horrible! Never mind, we still raced also on Sunday, so that there would be a couple of "good" races before the goal of the season, European Championships in Otepää, Estonia!:) I'm glad to get there (again). This playing "with the weather" here in Joensuu has been more than irritating. If it's not very cold (-25c or even -35c), it's so windy+ snowy that you can hardly stand out there.

Minnesota Pork Board names 2021 award winners
Iowa Pork Center's John Mabry Gets Distinguished Service Award
John Mabry, director of the Iowa Pork Industry Center at Iowa State University, was recognized as the winner of the distinguished service award at the National Pork Industry Forum in Phoenix, March 3-5, 2011. The award is given annually to recognize the lifelong contribution to the pork industry made by an outstanding leader
John Mabry, director of the Iowa Pork Industry Center at Iowa State University, was recognized as the winner of the distinguished service award at the National Pork Industry Forum in Phoenix, March 3-5, 2011. The award is given annually to recognize the lifelong contribution to the pork industry made by an outstanding leader.
"When John entered the industry with genetic consulting work, there was a real need out there to help people develop breeding systems and genetic systems that would maximize the heterosis and reproduction values," says Everett Forkner, a pork producer from Richards, MO, and National Pork Board vice president. "He brought that to the industry in a timely fashion and covered a need that was there. He helped to direct the genetic programs and systems that were not there. Through those efforts, John had a large influence on the betterment of the pork industry."
Mabry's keen insight and experience has provided him with broad perspective on the pork industry's past, present and its future.
"I think it is going to be important that we position ourselves so we can be economically sustainable, but if we don't look out at the environment we operate in, if we don't keep our social aspects in line, we are not going to be allowed to produce," Mabry says. "I think we are really going to have to work hard, not only to do our job right, but also to promote ourselves properly, and survive in a new paradigm."
Mabry was honored by the National Pork Board, which has responsibility for checkoff-funded research, promotion and consumer information projects and for communicating with pork producers and the public. For more information on checkoff-funded programs, call the Pork Checkoff Service Center at (800) 456-7675 or visit www.pork.org.
