Submission: 26 January 2016. Acceptance: 28 March 2017
A new diagnosis and systematic clarification of the genus Architipula Handlirsch, 1906 (Diptera, Limoniidae) are presented. Architipula seebachiana Handlirsch, 1906 and A. seebachi (Geinitz, 1884) are synonymised. Liassotipula Tillyard, 1933 from the Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) of England is here considered to be a junior synonym of Architipula. The subgenus Architipula (Grimmenia Krzemiński and Zessin, 1990) is raised to the rank of genus Grimmenia and a new species, Grimmenia tillyardi n. sp., is described from the Toarcian of England.

Currently, Limoniidae (limoniid crane flies) are one of the largest families of Diptera (true flies), with approximately 11,000 described extant species (Oosterbroek, 2016). The earliest fossils of the family are well represented from the Triassic (Krzemiński, 1992a, 1992b; Shcherbakov et al., 1995; Krzemiński and Evenhuis, 2000; Krzemiński and Krzemińska, 2003; Blagoderov et al., 2007), and they are particularly abundant in the Jurassic (Handlirsch, 1906, 1939; Bode, 1953; Rohdendorf, 1962; Kalugina and Kovalev, 1985; Krzemiński and Kovalev, 1988; Krzemiński and Zessin, 1990; Krzemiński and Krzemińska, 2003; Lukashevich, 2009; Gao et al., 2015b; Oberprieler et al., 2015).
Handlirsch (1906, 1939) described a number of species from the Lower Jurassic of Dobbertin, Germany, which were classified as a separate family, the Architipulidae. However, Kalugina, 1985 (in Kalugina and Kovalev, 1985) determined that the wing venation of Architipulidae is very similar to that of Limoniidae and assigned them to this family in the rank of a subfamily, Architipulinae. The genus Architipula is the biggest in this subfamily. There are approximately 50 described species, but most of them need to be revised. The oldest representative of the genus is A. youngi Krzemiński from the Norian (Upper Triassic) of North America (Krzemiński, 1992a), but the great majority of species derive from the Jurassic Period (Handlirsch, 1906, 1939; Tillyard, 1933; Bode, 1953; Rohdendorf, 1962; Kalugina, 1985 [in Kalugina and Kovalev, 1985]; Krzemiński and Kovalev, 1988; Krzemiński and Zessin, 1990; Krzemiński, 1992a, 1992b; Evenhuis, 1994; Krzemiński and Evenhuis, 2000; Krzemiński and Krzemińska, 2003; Blagoderov et al., 2007; Lukashevich, 2009).
Information about the Limoniidae from the Lower Jurassic of England can be found in Brodie (1845) and Tillyard (1933). Study of their original fossil material and specimens of Architipulinae from the Lower Jurassic of Germany described by Handlirsch (1906) and Krzemiński and Zessin (1990) revealed that the genus Liassotipula Tillyard, 1933 should be synonymised with the genus Architipula Handlirsch, 1906.
This article aims to give an overview of limoniid material from the Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) of England, which comprises eight wings, six of which belong to the genus Architipula, the other two to Grimmenia Krzemiński and Zessin, 1990. Additional Lower Jurassic limoniid material has recently been recovered from older Sinemurian deposits by one of the authors (RAC) and will be described separately.
The English Toarcian material was collected in the early nineteenth century by P.B. Brodie and T.J. Slatter from Alderton Hill and Dumbleton, Gloucestershire. It was acquired by the Natural History Museum, London, in 1888 and is housed in the Palaeontological Collection, Department of Earth Sciences. Examined type material from the Toarcian of Germany is housed in the collection Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald, Germany.
The specimens were studied with the use of a Leica MZF LII stereomicroscope under reflected and transmitted light. Photographs were made with a Leica DFC 295 camera attached to the microscope. Wetting the surfaces with 98% ethyl alcohol improved image contrast. All line drawings were made from the photographs and digitally processed. Line drawings were prepared with GIMP graphic software (www.gimp.org/). The terminology of wing venation followed Krzemiński and Krzemińska (2003) and Krzemińska et al. (2009).

Synonymy. Architipulidae Handlirsch, 1906 (synonymised by Kalugina In: Kalugina and Kovalev, 1985, p. 50); Eoasilidae Bode, 1953 (synonymised by Krzemiński and Kovalev, 1988, p. 55-56).
Subfamily ARCHITIPULINAE Handlirsch, 1906
Type genus. Architipula Handlirsch, 1906.
Genus Architipula Handlirsch, 1906
Synonymy. Liassotipula Tillyard, 1933 (new synonymy); Eoasilidea Bode, 1953 (synonymised by Krzemiński and Kovalev, 1988, p. 55-56); Protipula Handlirsch, 1906 (synonymised by Evenhuis, 1994, p. 62); Paratipula Bode, 1953 (synonymised by Evenhuis, 1994, p. 62).
Type species. Architipula seebachiana Handlirsch, 1906 (= Architipula seebachi [Geinitz, 1884]), Toarcian (Lower Jurassic), Dobbertin in Mecklenburg, Germany.
Included species. Of the approximately 50 named species, the following, from the Lower Jurassic of Germany, can be confidently assigned to the genus Architipula : A. arculifera Bode, 1905; A. bodeisimilis Bode, 1953; A. formosa Bode, 1953; A. fragmentosa (Bode, 1953); A. maior Handlirsch, 1939; A. stigmatica Handlirsch,1906; and A. latipennis Handlirsch, 1906. Re-examination of the holotypes of other named species is required to establish membership of Architipula since their generic affiliation cannot be determined on the basis of existing descriptions and drawings. Architipula youngi Krzemiński from the Norian (Upper Triassic) of North America is the oldest representative of the genus (Krzemiński, 1992a).
Revised diagnosis. Vein Sc ends after fork of vein Rs into R 2+3+4 and R5; Rs long, subequal to or a little shorter than veins R2+3 and R3 combined; d-cell characteristically deeply indented in basal part (Figure 1-Figure 2), upper part of d-cell 1.5-2x longer than its lower part (from the forking of Mb to cross-vein m-cu); cross-vein m-m between M1+2 and M 3 distinctly inclined, its bottom part shifted towards the wing's base (unlike in most Limoniidae); vein M3 usually distinctly sinuous; cross-vein m-cu situated close to origin of the fork of M3+4 into M3 and M4; A2 usually short and straight.
Architipula seebachi (Geinitz, 1884)
Figure 1-Figure 2
Synonymy. Phryganidium (Hydropsyche) seebachi Geinitz, 1884; Architipula seebachiana Handlirsch, 1906 (new synonymy).
Material examined. SGWG 119/6, holotype of Architipula seebachi (Geinitz, 1884) and SGWG 122/82, holotype of Architipula seebachiana Handlirsch, 1906. Both from Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) of Dobbertin (Germany) and deposited in the collection Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald.
Redescription. Vein Sc ends before mid-point of vein R2+3+4; Rs long, subequal to veins R2+3+4 +R2+3 and R3 combined; R4 three times longer than R2+3+4; stigma large and distinct; d-cell characteristically deeply indented in basal part, upper part of d-cell 1.5- 2 times longer than its lower part (from the forking of Mb to cross-vein m-cu); d-cell about 0.14 the length of the wing; cross-vein m-m between M1+2 and M3 distinctly inclined, its bottom part shifted towards the wing base; vein M3 usually distinctly sinuous; M1 equal in length to d-cell; cross-vein m-cu situated in the fork of M3+4 into M3 and M4; A2 usually short and straight.
Remarks. Originally considered to be the type species of the genus, Architipula seebachiana Handlirsch, 1906 is synonymous with Architipula seebachi (Geinitz, 1884), which was described as Phryganidium (Hydropsyche) seebachi Geinitz, 1884 and incorrectly assigned to the order Trichoptera, before being transferred to Architipula by Handlirsch in 1906. Both specimens came from the same Toarcian locality of Dobbertin in Germany, and their wings are almost indistinguishable in vein lengths and proportions. Observable morphological differences, such as the degree of curvature of M4 and the slightly longer Sc vein in A. seebachi, we consider to be accounted for by intraspecific variation.
Architipula anglicana (Tillyard, 1933) -- comb. nov.
Revised diagnosis. Wing 7.5-10.0 mm long; Sc ending opposite mid-length of R2+3+4; R4 about three times as long as R2+3+4; and slightly longer than Rs; M1 about three times longer than petiolus; upper part of d-cell approximately twice as long as lower; M3 markedly undulate.
Redescription. Sc terminates opposite mid-length of R2+3+4; cross-vein sc-r situated twice its length before tip of Sc; R1 ends opposite one third length of R2+3 and R3 combined; r-r (R2) situated almost twice its length before tip of R1; Rs very long, almost equal to R4; R4 3.5 times as long as R2+3+4 and slightly longer than Rs; d-cell large (about 0.17 the length of the wing), elongate along the upper edge (top of cross-vein m-m shifted away from wing base); M1 about three times longer than petiolus and slightly longer than the d-cell; M3 prominently undulate and almost 3.5 times longer than the basal part of d-cell; mc-u in holotype just before bifurcation of M3+4 into M3 and M4, in the remaining specimens located at the fork M3+4; A2 relatively long and almost straight, terminally slightly curved to wing margin.
Material examined. Holotype: In. 11298, Alderton Hill from Brodie collection. Other material: I. 11272 also from Alderton Hill; I. 11313, I. 11365, and I. 11398 from Dumbleton, Upper Lias (Lower Jurassic: Toarcian). All specimens are housed in the Natural History Museum, London.
Remarks. Examination of the holotype In. 11298 and additional specimens of Architipula anglicana allowed us to rectify mistakes in the drawing of the holotype by Tillyard (1933, p. 76), which led to his creation of a new genus; for example, in the position of cross-vein m-cu, the addition of cross-veins in the radial sector and the length of Sc. The venation of A. anglicana is, in fact, very similar to that of A. seebachi, notably in the length of vein Sc and the construction of the d-cell, cross-vein m-m situated between M1+2 and M3 , strongly oblique, its upper part towards the distal part of the wing; M3 distinctly wavy. It clearly differs in the ratio of the length of the d-cell to the length of the wing, the proportion of M1 to its petiolus and the location of cross-vein m-cu (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3). These differences justify separation at the species, but not genus level, and we have therefore synonymised Liassotipula with Architipula.
Genus Grimmenia Krzemiński and Zessin, 1990 -- stat. n.
zoobank.org/AA932CA4-CC14-4BAA-A34F-28701224F6D8
Type species. Architipula (Grimmenia) prima Krzemiński and Zessin, 1990; Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) of Germany.
Revised diagnosis. Sc ending before or opposite the fork of Rs; cross-vein sc-r at the end of Sc; Rs long; four medial veins present; d cell long and its lower part not incised like in the genus Architipula; cross-vein m-cu in or near the fork of M3+4.
Included species. In addition to the type species and new species described below, Grimmenia secunda Krzemiński and Zessin (1990), from the Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) of Grimmen, Germany.
Grimmenia tillyardi n. sp.
zoobank.org/600AC2CE-0C88-445A-8E19-1C92A111F3CE
Etymology. The species name is dedicated to Robin John Tillyard, the palaeoentomologist who described the first Limoniidae from the Jurassic of England.
Holotype. I. 3328 from Alderton Hill (Gloucester), Upper Lias (Lower Jurassic: Toarcian), housed in the Natural History Museum, London.
Diagnosis. Sc terminates opposite fork of Rs into R2+3+4 and R5; R2+3+4 long, distinctly longer than in other known species of the genus, equal to R2+3 and R3 combined; Rs almost twice as long as R2+3+4; d-cell short and wide, which clearly differentiates this species from all congeners.
Description. Wing length 3.8 mm; Sc ends opposite bifurcation of Rs into R2+3+4 and R5; cross-vein sc-r situated its own length before tip of Sc; R1 ends opposite one third length of R2+3 and R3 combined; R2+3+4 very long, as long as R2+3 and R 3 combined; Rs almost twice as long as R2+3+4; R4 equal in length to Rs and twice as long as R2+3+4; d-cell 0.125 the length of the wing; almost rectangular, its upper part almost the same length as its basal part; top part of cross-vein m-m inclined towards the wing base; M1 shorter than petiolus; m-cu situated towards distal end of d-cell, just before fork of M3+4 into M3 and M4.
Remarks. Grimmenia tillyardi n. sp. is very similar to G. prima from the Toarcian of Grimmen, Germany (Krzemiński and Zessin, 1990). However, it clearly differs from this species in its longer vein R2+3+4; the shape of the d-cell, which is short and wide, and longer veins M1 and M2.
The limoniid fauna from the Toarcian of England has a very strong resemblance to that from Germany. In both faunas, species of the genus Architipula are the most commonly found as fossils. Handlirsch (1906, 1939) believed that Jurassic Diptera with wing venation similar to the family Limoniidae belonged to a separate family, Architipulidae; as did Tillyard (1933), Bode (1953) and Rohdendorf (1962). Kalugina (1985, in Kalugina and Kovalev 1985) instead included Architipulidae in the family Limoniidae as a subfamily. However, so far the subfamily has not been clearly defined, because Kalugina did not re-examine the material described by Handlirsch (1906, 1939) or Bode (1953). Her decision was based on the published drawings and rare material from Asia. Bode's drawings, in particular, are very inaccurate and not suitable for comparative studies.
In addition to the revision of material of Architipula and Grimmenia herein, work on clarifying the systematics of the Architipulinae is in progress. It is known that genera from other subfamilies (Limnophilinae) and families (Tipulidae and Pediciidae) have been incorrectly assigned to the subfamily. For example, Praearchitipula abnormis (Hao and Ren, 2009) has recently been transferred from Architipulinae to family Pediciidae (Gao et al., 2015a).
Continued re-examination of deposited specimens, in particular holotypes, is required, as well as collection of new material. Most of the Early Jurassic species have been described only from isolated wings. Discovery of more complete specimens would permit determination of other characters important for clarification of taxonomic relationships, such as the structure of the male genitalia and presence or absence of tibial spurs.

Q: Can't connect to host using OpenSSL in C++ When I try to connect to some hosts(not all) through HTTPS using OpenSSL in C++ I gets OpenSSL error error:14094410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure. I'm using TLS_client_method SSL method. But if I use openssl test executable, it's ok - openssl s_client -connect host:443 -tls1_2.
My connect code here:
const SSL_METHOD* method = TLS_client_method();
inet->ssl_ctx = SSL_CTX_new(method);
inet->ssl = SSL_new(inet->ssl_ctx);
SSL_set_fd(inet->ssl, s);
int err = SSL_connect(inet->ssl);

Why? Maybe I need some .pem/.pm files? I don't know, but I saw it somewhere.

A: Your code does not use the SNI extension when connecting to the server, i.e. does not include the hostname of the server into the TLS handshake. Multi-domain sites usually require SNI and might fail or return some unrelated certificate when SNI is not provided. This is also true for CDN like Cloudflare where different domains are accessible by the same IP address but should result in different certificates.

... I tried to connect to hostiman.ru

This is for example the case with hostiman.ru. With SNI (as set by newer s_client versions by default):
$ openssl s_client -connect hostiman.ru:443 -tls1_2
CONNECTED(00000005)
...
depth=0 C = US, ST = CA, L = San Francisco, O = "Cloudflare, Inc.", CN = sni.cloudflaressl.com
...
   Cipher    : ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305

Without SNI it instead looks like this:
$ openssl s_client -connect hostiman.ru:443 -tls1_2 -noservername
CONNECTED(00000005)
140420123775424:error:14094410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure:../ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:1528:SSL alert number 40
...
    Cipher    : 0000

To setup SNI in the client use SSL_set_tlsext_host_name, i.e.
inet->ssl = SSL_new(inet->ssl_ctx);
SSL_set_tlsext_host_name(inet->ssl, servername)

No matter how on top of things you are, there are occasionally those birthdays or other events that sneak up on you, catching you completely by surprise. Knowing this phenomenon all too well, the sympathetic souls at Rohner Press partnered with Mohawk to produce the Emergency "Everyday Card Kit" – an eye-catching box packed with an assortment of 8 fun greeting cards (and envelopes) covering a wide range of situations.
No danger of that here. Rohner outdid themselves, designing and printing a package that instantly charms thanks to the clever way it resembles a first aid kit. Centered between the silver foil stamped words "Everyday" and "Card Kit," the traditional first-aid cross in this case is actually a die cut, the white filled in from behind by the back of a card that features the project's production notes.
"Open in case of (card) emergency," it advises in foil on the back, adding instructions for use in the calm, you-can-do-this style of first aid kits everywhere: "Open box. Select card. (Make sure occasion is appropriate.)…" The phrases "Keep this kit handy" and "Every day use" are also foil stamped on the sides of the box.
The vivid red of the package is just a taste of the colorful delights inside. Everything, it turns out, was printed on a different sheet from Mohawk's new Keaykolour papers – a line that offers 43 different hues in all.
Eight of those colors are on display inside this box in the form of cards crafted by several Chicago designers. Foil stamping and letterpress printing come together with playful illustrations to ensure that whether you're wishing someone a happy birthday or apologizing for a personal misstep, you'll look stylish whilst doing so.
The emergency "Everyday Card Kit" is a fantastic example of what you can achieve with the right paper and a clear artistic vision. We are so grateful to Rohner Press for going back to press with this limited-edition piece just for our VIP members. That's right – our VIP members recently found one of these kits in their Winter VIP Box!

I want labels to put on old ceramic jars such as, "coffee, cream, flour, meal, etc". Any Suggestions?
There are a number of custom label options that you could use for canning. Digital printing has allowed custom labels to be printed in very low quantities for uses just like this. In the past, most label printing jobs like this would require a bulk purchase and wouldn't have been possible.
Today, there are a number of companies out there that specialize in this type of project. My Own Labels offers a variety of canning labels that can be custom printed with any text, for any occasion. They have a large selection and should be able to help.

Targa (arabe :  تارگة, berbère : ⵜⴰⵔⴳⴰ) est un secteur de Marrakech constitué de plusieurs petits quartiers et lotissements. Il est situé dans l'arrondissement Menara situé à l'ouest de l'agglomération et se déploie le long de la route de la Targa, un axe qui débute au niveau de la place Bir Anzarane, dans le quartier de Guéliz, et se prolonge jusqu'aux limites de l'agglomération, avant de prendre le nom de route de Souihla. Targa est principalement constitué de quartiers aisés.

Origine du nom

Targa est un toponyme berbère très répandu au Maroc. Il est l'équivalent du terme arabe saguia, qui signifie canal d'irrigation. Avant son urbanisation, le secteur de Targa était occupé par des parcelles agricoles irriguées par la saguia Targa, reliant l'oued Nfis à l'oued Tensift.

Histoire

En  est inaugurée la voie ferrée reliant Marrakech à Casablanca. Dans le prolongement de l'avenue de Guéliz, renommée en 1925 avenue Mangin, est créée une piste desservant le camp militaire Mangin situé au pied du Jbel Guéliz. Au-delà du croisement entre cette piste et la voie ferrée est créé en  le lotissement agricole de la Targa, constitué de petites exploitations vivrières de 3 à 10 hectares au plus près de la voie ferrée, et de vastes exploitations de plusieurs dizaines d'hectares plus loin. Dans les années 1930, la route est asphaltées et un passage à niveau est aménagé. Une école fonctionne de 1949 à 1953. En , l'école agricole de Souihla est inaugurée à l'extrémité occidentale de l'axe. À l'indépendance, plusieurs propriétés agricoles sont vendues au départ des colons mais avec l'ouverture du Lycée Victor-Hugo, Targa redevient attractif pour les familles françaises et les notables de Marrakech.

Dans les années 1980, 1990 et 2000 sont aménagés plusieurs centres d'estivage : le COS ONE, le COS CNSS, le COS Kahrama, et, plus loin, le COS ONCF et Bank al-Maghrib. En 2014 est inauguré un hypermarché Carrefour non loin d Centre d'impôts.

Ricciardo admits gripes over McLaren car 'getting old'
Daniel Ricciardo's disappointing Monaco Grand Prix highlighted once again his struggles with McLaren's 2021 car, but the Aussie admits that his lamentations over his current hardship are "getting old".
After five races in which he has underperformed relative to everyone's expectations, including his own, Ricciardo admits that he's still wrestling with McLaren's MCL35M and struggling to adapt to the car's specific characteristics.
After Ricciardio's lacklustre run last weekend to a distant P12 in Monaco, McLaren team boss Andreas Seidl said that his driver's adjustment to his car remains a work in progress.
"In order to drive our car fast at the moment, you need a special driving style which is not natural for Daniel," Seidl explained. "
"That's why it's not easy for him to get the laps in and extract the performance.
"There's no need to panic right now as Ricciardo, we know, is a top driver and, clearly, that McLaren is a really handy bit of kit this season."
Ricciardo's difficulties, that contrast with the strong performances enjoyed this season by his McLaren teammate Lando Norris, are inevitably generating a significant amount of coverage by the media.
But the Aussie acknowledged that he is growing tired of his own grousing, even if a recent encounter with Carlos Sainz – the man he replaced at McLaren – confirmed some of his thoughts about his team's 2021 contender.

"I think, for whatever reason, naturally at the moment the car isn't quite coming to me," he told Sky Sports F1.
"I bumped into Carlos not too long ago. He was like 'what do you think, strange huh?' And I was like 'thanks for telling me!'
"I feel there is a bit of a characteristic with this car that, let's say, is a bit strange. Generally, you've got a window to work in and you can play inside that area and be fairly okay.
"At the moment, this one is just a very small window and therefore it's quite easy to make mistakes or do something the car doesn't respond well to.
"I don't want to keep talking about it because it's getting old, but I guess it's tricky."

TELEPHONE Ticketing: The first 200 test users began using Touch&Travel mobile phone e-ticketing in Germany on February 29, in a pilot for a system which DB and development partner Vodfone hope to introduce nationally in 2010.
The initial trials cover suburban trains in Berlin, local transport in Potsdam, and Berlin - Hannover ICE services. Stations and bus stops are being equipment with near-field communication terminals, over which passengers wave their phones to check-in before boarding, and then again to check-out at their destination. The data is stored in the phone on SIM cards supplied by Giesecke & Devrient. The length and price of the journey are calculated at the end of the trip, and the customer receives a monthly bill. Conductors can check tickets during the journey using a portable reader.
Vodafone and T-Mobile are participating in the trials, but Touch&Travel is intended as a standard e-ticketing platform which will be available to other phone and transport operators.
CAPTION: Touch&Travel was launched on February 29 by Hartmut Mehdorn (left) and Friedrich Joussen, the CEOs of DB and Vodafone Germany.

You are here: Home / Animals / Sand Lizard
Sand Lizard
The sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) is a small, rare lizard that is found in Europe and Asia. The word "lacerta" derives from Latin meaning lizard, while "agilis" is also Latin, meaning mobile, swift or agile. Sand lizards are the only member of their family and are sometimes called the viviparous lizard.
While these lizards are fairly uncommon, there's still lots to learn about them. Keep reading on to find out more.
There are at least three sub-species of sand lizard that live in different regions of England. They vary slightly and can usually be distinguished by the way they look. Sand lizards living in the Surrey area are different to those living in the Dorset area. The dorsal stripe on these lizards may be broken, thinner or missing, but can be difficult to identify or differentiate.
The third subspecies is easier to tell apart. They live in the coastal dunes of West Lancashire, Wales, and along the Kentish coast and are smaller and slimmer. The males are also a lighter green than those living in Surrey and Dorset, and may even stay green throughout the entire year. The dorsal stripes are also broader and more prominent in this subspecies.
The sand lizard is generally sandy-brown in color, with dark splotches on their sides that are typically lighter in the middle and darker around the outsides. Males have green flanks that turn brighter green during mating season, which is thought to be so female sand lizards can see them more easily. The markings along the flanks are more closely crowded together on the male than on the female, too.
Sand lizards have stocky bodies, with males being stockier than females. The lizards also have long tails that are at least 1.5 times as long as their bodies. If they become trapped or are in danger, they can lose their tails. These lizards can reach up to 20cm in length and weigh about 15 grams.
Males have a larger head and more prominent jaw than females, and their eyes sit about 33% back on the head. Females eyes sit about 50% back on the head.
Sand lizards can live up to around 20 years old, but on average they live between 5 and 8 years.
Because sand lizards are reptiles and cold-blooded, they do not need to eat that much. They are carnivores and their diet mainly consists of spiders and insects, such as grasshoppers.
However, they can survive for long periods if food is not available. If they get hungry enough, they will also eat some flowers and even their own young.
When hunting, a sand lizard will stop and listen for movement. Once they hear a sound, they will move their heads backward until they locate the source. They will then pounce on it with their mouths. However, if the prey gets more than 60 cm away, they will ignore it and continue foraging for food.
Sand lizards and generally solitary animals, but you may see them in pairs. A sand lizard moves about a lot during the day and can travel at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. They must spend a good amount of time basking in the sun during the day, because they do not generate body heat and rely on the sun to keep warm.
They do not come out of their burrows in the morning until they sense that it is warming up outside, and then return before sunset. It is thought that they need sunlight to warm their bodies before they have the energy to hunt.
If the weather gets too warm and the ground is too hot, sand lizards will quickly lift each foot off the ground to keep their feet from burning. They may also lay on their bellies with all four feet in the air at the same time.
The biggest predator of sand lizards are birds of prey, especially kestrels. They are also hunted by the smooth snake, foxes, badgers, crows and weasels.
To escape predators, sand lizards will first of all lie very still. If this does not work, they will try to escape to their burrow. Failing this, they will release their tail which will wiggle on the ground for several minutes. This distracts the predator for enough time to allow the lizard to escape.
Lizards can bite humans if they feel threatened. However, their bite is not poisonous.
It is thought that female lizards choose their mates, and like to mate with those who are distantly related. The breeding season is during March and April, during which time the female will mate with several males, but she will only lay eggs once each year. She usually lays around 8 eggs.
The eggs are left buried in sand exposed to the sun which helps to keep them warm. They stay in the nest for three-to-four months before they hatch in August or September. After the mother has laid the eggs, she leaves the nest, which means baby sand lizards must fend for themselves when they are born. The hatchlings reach sexual maturity at around 2 years old.
During mating season, males can become very aggressive. They will even fight each other to death.
Sand lizards live in burrows and stay in their burrows during the winter months. Males can begin hibernation from late August-early September but females often start to hibernate about a month later, in September or early October. In the spring, around April and May, male sand lizards come out of hibernation first.
These lizards can be found across much of Europe, and are England's rarest lizards. In the UK, they are are restricted to south and west England, and to a couple of sites in Wales. There are also a small amount of sand lizards in Scotland.
Sand lizards have limited distribution in Scandinavia, west and south-east France, Italy where it is present only in isolated colonies, European Turkey, most of Greece and the Iberian Peninsula, but can be found in western areas of Russia, Mongolia and China.
While sand lizards generally need a heathland habitat with varied vegetation for both basking and sheltering, they are very adaptive and often have to adapt to wherever they live. They need the area to be soft to create burrows and like mossy and sandy areas so that they can lay their eggs. They also generally preferred a sloped area. In the day, they hunt for food in grassy areas and then return to sand areas when the sun sets.
Despite being one of the rarest reptiles anyway, it is thought that the population of sand lizards is rapidly declining, and this is mainly down to humans. The main reason for the loss of sand lizards is urban development, which leads to habitat loss.
While the International Union for Conservation of Nature considers the species to be of least concern, the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981 and the United Kingdom Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework list it as a priority species. The sand lizard is strictly protected by British and European law which makes it an offence to kill, injure, capture or disturb them, damage or destroy their habitat, or to possess or trade in them.
The sand lizard population is being helped by captive breeding and reintroduction. It is much easier to breed these lizards in captivity and release them into the wild, because sand lizards cannot disperse far or colonize newly suitable areas. This means that, without help, they are very unlikely to breed in new areas and the population will continue to decline.
Sand Lizard – Summary Of Facts
The Sand Lizard (Lacerta agilis) is distributed across most of Europe (except the Iberian peninsula, west and south-east France, most of Great Britain, Italy where it is present only in isolated colonies, European Turkey, most of Greece) and eastwards to Mongolia.
The Sand Lizard has a light underbelly and a dorsal stripe.
Males tend to be darker in color and turn green during the mating season.
Sand lizards are stocky and short-legged, with short heads, blunt snouts and short tails.
They can reach up to 25 centimetres in length.
Females are generally longer than the males.
Male sand lizards fight ferociously for females during the mating season.
Sand lizards grab the neck of their opponent with their jaws and then roll over and over each other as if they were wrestling, until one, usually the smaller lizard, retreats.
Although restricted to heathland habitats and sand dunes in Britain, in mainland Europe sand lizards can be found in hedgerows, fields, woodland margins, parks, gardens and on roadsides.
In France, sand lizards can also be found in mountainous habitats.
The Sand lizards' diet mainly consists of invertebrates such as slugs, spiders and insects, but will also feed on a variety of other foods such as fruit and flower heads.
Sand lizards are endangered in Britain, mainly due to the loss and fragmentation of their heathland habitat.
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is an offence to kill, injure or sell sand lizards.

Behind Enemy Lines Cultivate the seed to grow: Inside prison and out, we must nurture...
Cultivate the seed to grow: Inside prison and out, we must nurture our youth
by Mutope Duguma
I greet you all with love and respect as usual, and it's been awhile, but I recently made a transition from Pelican Bay State Prison Security Housing Unit solitary confinement units to General Population – GP – here at Calipatria State Prison. I won't bore you with my usual long-winded rhetoric but instead speak to some of the key contradictions that I am seeing that we as New Afrikans face in and out of these stoops.
Mutope Duguma in a photo taken Sept. 2, 2014
Our young people for the most part have been seriously compromised, and we can see this in their behavior. And we who understand how a people should be socially developed inside a society in ways that lead to one's growth and development have to be very proactive about how we nurture our young people.
No one is receptive to the hard hand approaches, but instead time and energy have to be spent on educating these young New Afrikans who have no "sense of self." Many have come out of communities that have been demoralized; therefore, they have no "moral compass" as to how they are to behave.
We can hold responsible the educational institutions and the deprivations that many of them have been subjected to throughout their lives, which can arise in direct relation to the poverty and economic deprivation that they – and all of us – have been compromised by.
We have to realize that when a people have been socially engineered or conditioned to be a certain way inside a "malignant sub-culture" that teaches them to devalue themselves in every aspect of their lives and to which they were colonized for centuries, we cannot expect to reverse this psychic trauma overnight. What we have to do is put examples in place of what New Afrikans look like in practice, as well as spend time with those who are receptive to education.
Our young people for the most part have been seriously compromised, and we can see this in their behavior.
It's a lot of our young people who are very intelligent, but they don't have the nerve or discipline to speak to their peers without being ridiculed or subjected to some form of "peer pressure" by those whose intellect has not yet been cultivated.
The young people who have developed intellect, nerve and discipline tend to have no tolerance for tackling such contradictions in their peers. Therefore, those who tend to be dysfunctional get to run around recklessly, which leads to most of the problems that many of the social groups fight over.
It is essential that those who hold themselves as "men of influence" educate these young people. To not do so speaks to what they actually mean to you.
I've also learned that if the men of influence are not themselves educated and disciplined, then they tend to be a part of the problem. We have a serious responsibility to these young people behind these prison walls and in society.
Ending hostilities is truly our lifeline
I have been out of solitary confinement for 90 days now, and my overview of our situation is that the penal system has failed across this nation. It's not just a California problem; it's a national problem, where prisoners all over Amerikka are being socially compromised due to mass incarceration.
And it is an incarceration that places us inside of a man-made social experiment that cultivates each of us inside a manufactured reality that is not of our choice, but instead is the making of the puppet masters – the lawmakers – who use their political power to coalesce men and women inside their prisons, jails, camps and juvenile facilities.
We prisoners have to ask the question why are so many human beings, especially of color, being carted off to these penal institutions, where billions of dollars, if not trillions, have been spent to maintain such repressive environments that establish us under social tyranny that makes its way back to our communities.
We have a serious responsibility to these young people behind these prison walls and in society.
We have to see these penal institutions as vessels that socially engineer us into a pathological, violent behavior that is diametrically opposed to our human development. We can now concretely identify in California prisons the violent nature of prisoners being a direct result of the cause of violence in our many communities.
The prison system is manufacturing a violent prison mentality, which none of us can actually be held responsible for because our "keepers" – government and especially CDCr officials – have always had complete control over the social tyranny in prison. No prisoner can be blamed for being placed in such violent environments that their keepers have chosen for them to be housed in.
We have to see these penal institutions as vessels that socially engineer us into a pathological, violent behavior that is diametrically opposed to our human development.
The majority of us coming out of California's solitary confinement units, such as the Pelican Bay SHU, were compromised years ago – neutralized by being removed from general population completely and targeted for extermination.
This was and is our reality, where we who survived to the extent that we did, had already started psychologically preparing ourselves to die in the wretched environment of solitary confinement. But we were able to change our reality to some extent with the Prisoner Human Rights Movement and our hunger strikes.
So where is our movement today? We are right where we started off in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and each of us who know about these eras has to stay focused on what's at stake. To not do so will set us right back into a pit of chaos, which can render each and every one of us vulnerable to our keepers once again.
The Agreement to End Hostilities is truly our life line. It has nothing to do with your courage or strength; it's about changing a violent prison culture into a civilized environment that eventually entails – or demands – that each of us be released from these animal cages and be allowed back to our communities.
The Agreement to End Hostilities dictates:
That we prisoners establish respectful communication lines between our four principal groups;
That we prisoners establish a principled standard where each prisoner holds his or her own individual discipline;
That we prisoners educate the younger prisoners as to why discipline in prison benefits us all;
That we prisoners recommend to CDCr, collectively, that which is needed in each prison to facilitate bringing the Agreement to End Hostilities to life, such as educational programs and privileges;
That we prisoners cannot expect the Agreement to End Hostilities to be successful without us seriously getting behind it.
It's a real struggle on these GPs (general population yards), one that I welcome wholeheartedly, because so much has changed in these GPs that it's like they are all modified lock-up yards. I believe in time that we can change this by demonstrating how prisons are counter-productive to a free society.
One Love, One Struggle,

Nizam's grandson asks one-time settlement over pending income, wealth tax
Last Nizam of Hyderabad Mir Osman Ali Khan`s family members have written to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharam urging her to resolve the Nizam Jewellery Trust income and wealth tax issue which has been pending with the Income Tax department for the last 26 years.
Najaf Ali Khan, grandson of the last Nizam urged for a one-time settlement of the issue stating that 39 of the 114 beneficiaries from the Nizam Family had either expired during this period and most of those remaining were senior citizens facing health and financial issues.
In the 1950s, the last Nizam had created various Trusts, one of which was the Nizam Jewellery Trust. The Trustees, which included Prince Muffakham Jah and a government nominated official from the Finance Ministry, were empowered to sell the jewellery.
In a statement, Khan said that the Government of India had in 1995 agreed to purchase jewellery for Rs 206 crore after the intervention of the Supreme Court. The Corpus was distributed among 114 beneficiaries from the Nizam Family. Around the time the Trustees were to hand over the Jewellery, the Income Tax department raised a total demand of Rs 30.50 crore towards arrears of Income Tax and Wealth Tax.
"The amount was paid from Rs 206 crore on 12.01.1995 which included Rs.15.45 crore arrears of Income Tax and Wealth Tax of which a major portion of this amount later got resulted in Refunds. These Refunds were wrongly adjusted with the instruction of Trustees of the said Trust who never proposed a one-time settlement with the Income Tax then itself. The other amount of Rs. 14.05 crore was kept as lien with the Department for future Tax liabilities in State Bank of Hyderabad, now State Bank of India," said Khan.
"As of date, the dispute is regarding arrears and refunds. According to records, beneficiaries are liable to receive a refund along with a lien amount of about Rs 14 crore but the Income Tax Department states that Rs 8.54 crore is approximately due on us towards taxes. We have been paying our taxes regularly, and this issue would not have dragged for so many years had the Trust acted responsibly and sought a one-time solution," he said.

Steven Avery's Ex Jodi Stachowski Now Says He's Guilty and a 'Monster'
by Rachel Stockman | 5:37 pm, January 14th, 2016
In a complete reversal from her portrayal in the hit Netflix series Making A Murderer, Steven Avery's ex-fiancée Jodi Stachowski is now saying that he is guilty of murder. She says Avery forced her to make him look good when the filmmakers interviewed her.
Avery, 53, was convicted of murder for the 2005 killing of Teresa Halbach. In the documentary, the producers raised major questions about how the investigation was handled — implying that investigators may have planted evidence on Avery's property in order to obtain a conviction.
In the series, Stachowski had a major role in the first few episodes — where you saw a 'loving' relationship between her and Avery. She is now saying that was all an act. In a Nancy Grace exclusive, Stachowski told HLN that Avery was abusive, and threatened to kill her. She even went so far as to call him a "monster." The show's producers found police reports, supporting some of her claims.
"I ate two boxes of rat poisoning, just so I could go to the hospital to get away from them," Stachowski said.

Not that long ago, the prevailing theory was that we were born with a certain number of brain cells and the long slow decline began. The hippocampus is one of the brain parts that is neuroplastic.
· Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein that helps nerve cells do, well, a lot. Grow in particular, as well as get stronger and avoid premature cellular death.
Research reported in the last few days confirms that the brain benefits from aerobic exercise. Led by University of Western Sydney research fellow Joseph Firth, and Brendon Stubbs, physiotherapist and clinician at the UK's National Health Service, the research team found that aerobic exercise, including walking and stationary bike riding, improved our friend the hippocampus. Generally, their observation was that the benefit was in the form of prevention of shrinking of the hippocampus, not actual growth. And the likely source of the benefit was increased, or, as the research called it "upregulated" BDNF. From my layman's perspective, BDNF looks like a tonic for our brains; we want more BDNF and big healthy brains and exercise is the way to get it. Here is a link to the original report from Stubbs' and Firth's research.
Again, we have confirmation of our "move it or lose it" mantra for brain health. Get sweaty out there.
By the way, British-born Thomas "Dolby" Robertson had several albums after the album The Golden Age of Wireless, which contained Science. None had single as catchy. He now resides in the U.S. and is a professor of the arts at Johns Hopkins.
Our shameless plug: we offer a terrific exercise kit that includes resistance bands and a stretch strap, along with examples of a few of the almost limitless exercises one can do with bands. Enter code BFCM17 for 15% off for a limited time. Now, go work up a sweat.

Q: Why cannot a const struct field be used as an initializer in C? Consider the following example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

struct mystruct_s {
  uint16_t first;
};
typedef struct mystruct_s mystruct_t;

#define THEVALUE 5
const mystruct_t mytester = {
  .first = THEVALUE,
};

struct otherstruct_s {
  uint16_t initial;
};
typedef struct otherstruct_s otherstruct_t;

otherstruct_t othertester = {
  .initial = mytester.first,
};

int main() {
  printf("Hello, world %d!\n", othertester.initial);
  return 0;
}

When I build this in https://replit.com/languages/c I get:
> clang-7 -pthread -lm -o main main.c
main.c:20:23: error: initializer element is not a
      compile-time constant
  .initial = mytester.first,
             ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~
1 error generated.
exit status 1

I was kind of hoping, that since mytester is declared const, and its its .first field is initialized through a define, the compiler would have figured out that I want the same initialization applied to othertester.initial, but apparently not.
In my actual code, gcc was highlighting mytester, while here clang did in fact point to the field by highlighting, which indeed is not const - is this why I cannot initialize in this case?
Anyways, I have a similar (though much more convoluted) actual case; and while I'm aware that I can just use the define to initialize, I would really like to instead initialize via mytester.first for readability. Is there any workaround where I can use that, without having to define a copy of mystruct_s where the .first field is const?


Ever wondered how many tasks you can put into a single project? Or how many resources you can assign to a specific task? Believe it or not, Project does have its limits! Here are some limits that I found helpful to know and hopefully you will too.
Now… keep in mind that some of these numbers are really outrageous and I would never recommend that you use up to the maximum number allowed on some of these!
I told you… some of these numbers are outrageous! 400,000 tasks in a single project? Can you imagine trying to manage that monster! Or trying to manage 700,000 resources in a project? I think I'd want to quit my job if I had to manage all of that in a single project! What about looking at the Gantt chart in a project that had 50,000 predecessors for a single task… No thanks! I know that you'll probably never hit the limit on any of these, but it is nice to know this information. I've had people ask me before how many tasks could be in a single project or how many consolidated projects can you have and I didn't know the answer at the time. So hopefully this information will be helpful to you in the fact that you can put a lot of tasks or resources in your project without worrying that you're going to hit a maximum limit. Now there are two on this list that I have hit the maximum on before and chances are you have too. That's the baselines and characters in a text field. It wasn't the end of the world when I did hit that max on those two, but I improvised and I'm sure that you will too if the situation arises. There are some more limits if you would like to read up on them… the ones listed in this blog are just the ones that I have had people ask me about. You can read more about specific limitations here http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project/HP101065651033.aspx.


Smalltalkers always claim that Smalltalk has invented the mouse and the User Interface. Even if that can be discussed, I have to say it: I HATE THE MOUSE. The less I can use it, the best. The more I can stay with the keyboard, the best. Besides I am Smalltalk lover, I always try to admit when Smalltalk is not the best in certain aspect. And at least in Pharo, the need of the mouse is too much.
I have worked in industry with Eclipse for 3 years. And I am a geek who stays hours in front of the PC and when I was in Linux/Windows I was using all the time Total Commander or something similar. I used to know all possible shortcuts of all the software I was using in my machine. When I then started to program in Squeak it has like if I come back 20 years in time. I was not able to use the keyboard as I was doing it in the rest of my machine (and Eclipse included). It felt really frustrating. But ok…Smalltalk showed me so many cool stuff that I could live with the lack of proper shortcuts.
Today, I can say Pharo has improved a little in the direction of improving the user experience with the keyboard. This is thanks to Guillermo Pollito who has been developing Keymapping for a while. And now Débora Fortini has joined. Keymapping is a really small tool that let you define keyboard shortcuts per morph. So you can take any subclass of Morph and define your OWN shortcuts to do what you want. Of course, it may happen that there are conflicts with shortcuts of other morphs or even with global shortcuts of your Operating System. Nevertheless, the framework is there and working.
do: [ :target | target down ].
do: [ :target | target up ].
do: [ :target | target  proceed ].
do: [ :target | target  restart ].
do: [ :target | target  send ].
do: [ :target | target  doStep ].
do: [ :target | target  stepIntoBlock ].
do: [ :target | target  fullStack ].
do: [ :target | target  runToSelection ].
All shortcuts are defined in the same way: you create a method which receives a builder. The method #shortcut receives a shortcut name and creates an instance of KMKeymapBuilder. Then, sending the message #category:default:do: to the created KMKeymapBuilder, you can define all shortcuts. The first parameter is a category. The second is the combination of keys for the shortcut and the last parameter is the block to evaluate when such shortcut is pressed. Notice that the block receives at least the target object. In this case the target is the debugger.
"Open a full morphic debugger with the given label"
window := UIManager default openDebugger: self fullMorphicLabel: aLabelString.
window attachKeymapCategory: #DebuggerShortcuts targetting: self.
Notice in this method the line number 6. So…after 5 minutes that took Guille to code that, I had the shortcuts I ever wanted.
What is important of Keymapping is the infrastructure since it give us the tool to create our own shortcuts. Or even better, integrate in Pharo new shortcuts. Just to give you an idea, KMMonticelloShortcuts has shortcuts for committing, open repository, view changes, etc. KMGlobalShortcuts has shortcuts for saving the image, to open the world menu, to open a workspace, to open a transcript, to open Monticello, to open a class browser, etc… So…come on!! what are you waiting to give it a try?
The VM so far cannot handle some key events of certain keys like functions. Moreover, it seems (but I am not sure) that different VMs (the Windows VM, Linux, Mac OSX) do not handle all the key events the same way. It would be nice if they can be uniform.
In Pharo, when you do right-click or whatever menu that show you options like "do-it", "print it", etc., they all show the shortcut for them. However, if you do change them with KeyMappings, then such menu is not updated. It would be nice if the menu is auto-generated depending on the current configured shortcut.
It would be nice to have a way of tracking conflicts between shortcuts.

Both conflict detection and menu updating were part of my original version of Keymappings. It looks like this package has received a lot of inspired work from the community so I'm sure that those two items will eventually see it in to the modern version.
The differences between VM's has plagued Keymappings from the beginning. As I remember, there are two conflicting forces here: 1) the desire to have the VM smooth out platform differences and 2) the lack of a platform neutral keystroke model. For example, how should "left shift + a" be delivered to the image? A or left-shift+A? Should qualifier key events be delivered? etc Now add to this all the oddities associated with various keyboards, OS's etc and you have a real mess. I would like to see the VM deliver platform dependent but as primitive as possible keystrokes to the image and giving us the power to make platform dependent decisions regarding qualifier keys etc. We could build our own "Squeak/Pharo key" abstractions and then map them on to the platform. Something like the meta keys in X-windows. Your keymappings would refer to qualifiers abstractly as "logical key qualifiers" and you could determine your preference for which qualifier key actually represents the logical qualifier. I made several attempts at this and failed. Frankly this was probably because I was focused on X-windows which has its own mapping layer. I think it could be sorted out and would be happy to help. I think that there should be some general discussion about other application needs regarding keyboard events, though, so we don't proceed to walk all over every one.
Hi David. Wow, I didn't know that you wrote the original version of Keymappings. Thanks for all the background. Yes, as long as I could see it looks like they have been pushing Keymappings a bit more.
I will forward your answer to Guillermo Polito. Thank you very much.
Will it be by default in 1.4 ?
Keymapping on iOS/iPad with a bluetooth keyboard is what I'll be working on over here. Now that I have the VM working, this will be very useful. (As the current thing uses touches to achieve results and the onscreen keyboard eats a lot of space, making the UI close to unusable (the virtual keyboard hiding the world menu for example).


On November 14, 2015, at approximately 12:49 a.m., officers from the Anaheim Police Department responded to a 911 call of a shooting in the 200 block of E. Orangewood Ave. When officers arrived, they located Eduardo Curiel Molina, 36, of Anaheim with a gun shot wound to the upper body. Officers provided immediate medical aid to the victim until they were relieved by paramedics from Anaheim Fire & Rescue. Molina was pronounced deceased at the scene. The shooting appears to be gang related.
Detectives from the Homicide/Major Assault Detail immediately began the investigative process. With the assistance of information from numerous witnesses, five documented gang members were arrested in connection with this investigation. The four adult suspects (Fernando Jesus Castillo, Martin Fernando Diaz, Sabrina Marie Varela and Albert Jose Curiel)booked on suspicion of homicide with gang enhancements at the Anaheim Police Department Temporary Detention Facility. The juvenile suspect was booked at Juvenile Hall on suspicion of homicide with gang enhancements. A suspect vehicle has been located and impounded as evidence.
The case was presented to the Orange County District Attorney's office and charges of homicide with gang enhancements were filed against all four adult defendants.
Investigators believe they have arrested those responsible for this murder. However, anyone with information on this case is asked to contact Orange County Crime Stoppers at (855) TIP-OCCS, www.occrimestoppers.org, or text OCCS and your tip to CRIMES (274637). You may remain anonymous.
Rest In Peace Eddy!! You will forever be remembered!!

Journalist Silwal honored for Langtang promotion
KATHMANDU, Feb4, 2018
National Tourism Entrepreneurs' Association (NTEA) has felicitated journalist and author Ashok Silwal, recognizing his works in response to the damages caused by the earthquake in the Langtang area.
The award carries a certificate and a purse of Rs 25,000.
Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba felicitated Silwal amid a function organized by NTEA in the capital recently.
Silwal was previously given a title of Langtang Goodwill Ambassador for his contributions to the promotion of the area.
Silwal had traveled to Langtang on foot after the devastating earthquake of April 25, 2015, for relief works. He made documentaries of the area in order to draw local and global attention to bring support for reconstruction of the famed tourist spot. He had prepared two documentaries — 'Home Returning People' and 'Waking and Walking' — about the damages caused by the earthquake in the region.
Siwal had also prepared a report on damage assessment of Langtang on his own and written several articles to draw national and global attention to the area.
Earlier, Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal had also felicitated Silwal for his works in Langtang.

Frequently Asked Questions For Executive Search
1What are your executive search levels?
We usually work on searches for C-level or CXO executives all the way down to Vice President. As an example, we conduct searches for CTOs, CIOs, and CISOs, as well as Chief Architects. We also work at the levels of Executive Vice President (EVP), Senior Vice President (SVP), and Vice President (VP). We hire General Managers, Managing Directors, and Managing Partners at similar levels of management.
2What is the executive search timeline that has been kept?
Week 1: Every engagement begins with a Zoom meeting in which we gather critical information such as must-have and nice-to-have requirements, target companies, and off-limits companies. We also talk about search engine optimization. Week 2: We deliver an initial list of potential candidates and solicit feedback from our client in order to prioritize outreach and ensure that everyone is on the same page. We also start outreach and introduce candidates as they progress. Week 2+: The length of time it takes to hire a client varies depending on the client's interview and decision-making process. During the first or second month of a retained search engagement, we usually present the winning candidate. In some cases, we've been able to complete searches in as little as two weeks.
3What is your success rate in executive search?
Sun BD Executive Search is 100 percent effective. We've been in business for over 17 years and have never had a job go unfilled. We've seen searches disappear/or be put on hold while the CEO attends to other matters, such as a proxy fight, but The Good Search has never abandoned a project. And you shouldn't have to settle for anything less than a perfect score. An average of 40% of all retained search engagements in the executive search industry fail to complete. The investigative research expertise we use to reach far beyond the standard retained search firm networks to access the best and brightest executive candidates is something these other firms lack.
4What is the cost of an executive search?
The majority of traditional retained search firms charge a percentage fee of 30-33 percent of the candidate's first-year total cash compensation, which includes the base salary, signing bonus, and any other projected bonuses. Furthermore, they usually add another 5% in expenses on top of that. This percentage-based pricing creates a conflict of interest because it allows search firms to benefit by negotiating higher salaries for the executives they place than those executives would have accepted on their own. They charge an additional fee if you hire a second candidate from a retained search for a different position. Sun BD Executive Search, on the other hand, charges a flat fee based on the estimated work. As a result, you'll know exactly how much a search will cost before it begins. We also provide all of the research so that you can make additional hires at no extra charge.

A public forum regarding school safety will be held at MDI High School on May 10. ISLANDER FILE PHOTO
Second forum on school safety set
April 28, 2018	by Dick Broom on Education, News
BAR HARBOR — The second public forum on safety and security in the Mount Desert Island Regional School System will be held in the band room at MDI High School on Thursday, May 10, at 6 p.m.
About 150 people attended the first forum, on March 6, which was prompted by the mass shooting three weeks earlier at a high school in Parkland, Fla.
The choice of the band room as the location for the May 10 forum is significant. At the first forum, several MDI High School students said they felt less safe at school than they used to and that they felt particularly vulnerable in the band room.
"We need to figure out something to do with that room immediately," said Mackenzie Miller, a senior.
Her mother, Tracy, complained at the April 9 meeting of the school system board that "little to nothing" had been done to make the band room more secure.
"I understand the level of frustration, that it appears nothing is being done," said MDI High School Principal Matt Haney. But he said that wasn't the case.
"We are evaluating all of our weak points, and instead of addressing them in a haphazard way, we're looking at them as a whole. We want to make sure that when we do something, we do it the right way."
Park visits up in Dec., way down for the year - January 14, 2021
