The SICA of Fond Saint-Jacques
A universe not to forget!
In 2018, many members of the Fond Saint-Jacques cooperative proudly celebrated sixty years of their working tool, efforts, sacrifices, successes and concerns. We rejoice with them!
Conceived in 1957, then set up in January 1958, the SICA of Fond Saint-Jacques still stands out today and maintains a remarkable dynamism. But in addition, we pay tribute to this study conducted on the oldest SICA in Martinique, because it fills a void.
Its author apprehends the context of the end of the 1950s and the turn of the 1960s, when a new transformation of the Martinican rural world began.
The outline of a history of the post-slavery peasant world
So let us decide for our part to go back much further in the past, to better understand the situation of the peasant world at the beginning of the sixties!
In 1958, when the SICA of the Saint-Jacques Fund was born, it had only been 110 years since slavery had been abolished and the post-slavery world of the countryside had accumulated transformations, reversals, upheavals, conversions , metamorphoses, that is to say multiple and rapid mutations.
The first transformation came from the contemporary economic movement of the end of servitude. This economic shock led to the construction of seventeen central factories between 1843 and 1871. Over this period of thirty years, new rural families of small ex-slave owners or former free people of color wishing to enlarge their plots. These new peasant owners were much more involved in their activities in food production, in secondary export crops, and in artisanal activity for which they and they were suppliers of the markets of the towns and hamlets. But they and they supplied a certain amount of sugar cane to the many small distilleries and traditional sugar factories.
The second reversal came from the three serious world capitalist crises which struck cane sugar between 1884 and 1905. There was a series of bankruptcies in the country, the decline or death of small sugar refineries and distilleries sold at auction, the increased weight of the large central factories who bought up small indebted farms, thus reinitiating concentration and agrarian consolidation. It was consequently the rural exodus towards the large towns, the port of Fort-de-France or emigration for the Panama Canal. We saw the production of coffee and cocoa weaken considerably, and we witnessed the de facto disappearance of the cultivation of cotton and tobacco. These products lost their status as secondary export crops; they became provisions for local or even simply family consumption, of which small farms, along with the manufacture of cassava flour, became the purveyors. The rural landscape was strongly marked by it, but so was the social structure of the rural population. Finally, it was all the same the rise of rum Z'habitant (that is to say agricultural rum) manufactured by the better off distilleries, many of which belonged to mulattoes. Alongside the large planters, these formed one of the strata of the rich peasantry, each and every one distinguishing themselves from the mass of poor peasants.
Third , many other twists and turns occurred in the period from the start of the Great War (1914) to the end of the Second World War (1945). It was first of all, until 1921, a dazzling period for rum, a real strategic product during the war of trenches and position in France. Useful for the supply of the troops mobilized and necessary for the hospitals, its export made explode the fortune of the large planters. The culture of the cane knew in that time of the flourishing summits.
But the situation changed with the French legislative measures. first of quota of rum of 1922 and 1924. By 1925, the number of distilleries had decreased drastically. Wages were heavily eroded, social struggles multiplied (revisiting the workers' mobilization of 1923 counting the tragic death of strikers in Bassignac). With the quota on sugar production in 1933, the 1930s prolonged the crisis of the previous decade. The famous hunger march of February 1935 inflamed the social climate of a Martinique plunged into the agricultural doldrums.
Then the Second World War amplified the problems. It was no longer the same conjuncture as that of 1914-1918; nothing was sold anymore because of the maritime blockade. Stocks had increased but above all the materials and equipment of factories, distilleries and farms were little used and almost sometimes in a state of abandonment.
Throughout these thirty years from 1914 to 1945, the small peasantry fell heavily into debt. Other small farmers suffered from hunger for land while some civil servants, including many teachers from the new rising layer of the black and mulatto elite, invested in small farms. It is within this framework that the general council committed in 1931, for the small peasantry, the parcelling out of the domain of Fonds Saint Jacques which was property of the colony and located on the territory of the mayor of Sainte-Marie who is also president of the general council. , Joseph Lagrosilliere. The end of the Second World War had not greatly improved the lot of the small rural world.
Fourth, a harsh conversion was imposed in the period from 1945 to 1960. At the end of the Second World War and the serious economic deterioration at the time of Admiral Robert, the essentially agricultural economy based on the monoculture of sugar cane sugar is struggling to get up. Exports to France and commercial circuits having been interrupted for six years, the equipment for lack of fresh money, underused, poorly maintained has become largely obsolete. Despite a timid desire for recovery and government aid, the big béké landowners and millers (békés and European investors) no longer believe in it.
Between 1948 and 1960, the agony of the sugar economy and the old plantation economy became apparent: the hectares planted with cane went from 12,000 to 5,000, i.e. a drop of 58.33%, while the workers in the sugar cane sector fell from 38,000 to 22,000, i.e. a decrease of 42.11%. It is established that the world of habitation and plantation is dying. In these same twelve years (1948-1960), the number of distilleries is reduced considerably (from 185 to 30), the large central factories are floundering (reduction from 16 to 8). From then on, restructuring raged (mechanization, new farming methods); they eliminate small distillers and small farmers and push them and unemployed agricultural workers to a huge rural exodus to Fort de France and large towns like Lamentin.
New trends are emerging. The sharpest of the big landowners, the békés, converted. Those who still invest – or partially! – in agriculture, use part of their capital for other export crops, in particular bananas. However, despite the strong trend towards land concentration and a resumption of land consolidation, there is this apparently contradictory movement of these large landowners who proceed to partial parcelling of their estates or the fragmentation of their properties. It is often a question of having these small producers still able to supply cane to what remains of the factories, sugar refineries and distilleries.
In absolute numbers, the population of the countryside fell by more than half between 1940 and 1960, with the effect of the rural exodus affecting not only the agricultural workers hardest hit by the closures of factories and distilleries, but also small farmers. The rural world is sinking into a great malaise and feels left out of the great upheaval after 1945. In 1960, the Martinican population is no longer predominantly rural.
A new world for small and medium farmers
In 1957, the birth of the Sica du Fonds Saint Jacques took place at this moment in the rural history of Martinique, the social history and the anthropology of a human community in the post-slavery context, the he political history of a former colony living its new status as an overseas department and the economic history of an island undergoing rapid change over the past twelve years.
In this book, Guy Flandrina addresses all these aspects and shows how a new stage in the world of the Martinican countryside is opening up.
rural history when Guy Flandrina talks to us about the previous experiences of parcelling out and dividing up large properties, as well as the notable decision of 1931 to divide up the domain of the Saint Jacques Fund.
social history when the author describes the different types of property and the relationships between the various social strata present in the countryside, including his analysis of the work and the brutal dismissal of women dockers.
political history when the essayist underlines the mutualist, socialist, communist options of these cooperators in the new agricultural schemes between land reform or agrarian reform. It also marks the weight of the famous law of July 18, 1961 for the overseas departments.
Economic history when the journalist was able to trace the constraints of maritime transport imposed by the GGT-CGM-CMA and the important place of credit and expertise organizations including Créditag and then SATEC.
This work constantly refers to sources listed in the appendix, administrative sources, sources from the press, photographic sources, but also testimonies to which I will return later.
It also includes a few key dates to refine a chronology of rural Martinique: the fragmentation of the Saint-Jacques Fund on June 12, 1931, the creation of Créditag in the first half of 1957, the program law of 1960 or the bill of July 18 1961 relating to land tenure in the overseas departments.
Guy Flandrina opens up avenues for future researchers when he begins the pointing (like the beginning of an inventory) of operations of parcelling or dividing up agricultural properties. The list of the following dwellings (Petite Anse in Anses d'Arlet, Bellevue in Sainte-Anne, Dominante in Marigot, Étoile and Bois Séguineau in Lorrain, Ravine Plate in Vauclin, La Pagerie in Trois-Îlets, Morne Vert in Ducos, Leyritz at Basse-Pointe, Concorde, Fourniols, Ferme Saint Jacques, Reculée, Anse Azerot all at Sainte-Marie, Haut Galion at Robert, Anse Couleuvre at Prêcheur, etc., because I have not mentioned them all) encourages us to suggest that Investigators (PhD or students) will inform us in the near future, more fully of the mutations and experiences that have taken place there. The fact remains that the fragmentation operations, as well as the parcelizations begun in the years after the abolition of slavery, as well as the partial subdivision of certain large properties on which the small holdings nevertheless remain dependent, are a theme that we can no longer elude in in-depth studies.
Guy Flandrina did not seek to ignore the debate between what differentiates a land reform from an agrarian reform. He shows this through the parliamentary discussion of the bill of July 18, 1961. He insists on the position and the various arguments of Victor Sablé deputy who defends the government's point of view in very elaborate remarks. This underlines the role of this parliamentarian who was given the title of deputy for bananas and attracted the attachment of the new stratum of medium-sized and small farmers.
In fact, the events of December 1959, the program law of 1960, the two-thirds/one-third commercial division of bananas between the West Indies and French-speaking black Africa, the asserted demand for autonomy, the Cuban revolution , the asserted turn of De Gaulle on Algeria, the political tension in the Antilles with the ordinance of 1960, the shooting of Lamentin on March 24, 61, the prohibition of the youth congress, the dissolution of the Front Antillo-Guyanais, had in the space of 37 months upset the West Indian political scene and above all once again concealed the difficult question of land. It will be necessary to return in other research to this other aspect of the political and social life of the country at the time of the first establishment of the SICA.
Among the small cooperative farmers, many of whom are hungry for land, there are leaders with mutualist orientations, several are either socialists or communists and some are former agricultural workers, but there is already an obvious weight of minor civil servants, including teachers and also young doctors.
To all these, Victor Sablé makes proposals that he describes as unprecedented in their formulation, even if in reality they already existed. He speaks of an agricultural capitalist project to give "increased dynamism to the West Indian economy". He insists on the fact that access to property is to be reconciled with the modernization of the infrastructure. It makes prevail for the reform, the doctrine of regrouping with a concerted action of the individual initiatives from where the choice of the SICA which are not there only for the parcelling out. The step is therefore taken clearly and the cooperative form has nothing to do with what many initiators of the collectivist idea had in mind at the beginning. We miss a study of this paradigm shift.
The Fond-Saint-Jacques, its history, its myth!
To return to the Domaine du Fond Saint Jacques, we were delighted to find part of its history. The domain comes from the spoliation of the Kalinago community (the so-called Caribs) in 1658, which twenty years earlier had been confined to the lands of Cabesterre (Atlantic coast) by the treaty of partition of the island between the "Francois and the salvages". Of course in this famous massacre of the Borgne hut, there is the indisputable role of the Dominican fathers who arrived before the group of Jesuits, but there is the fury of the excited settlers from the vicinity of Fort Saint-Pierre who have only one one desire: to exterminate all they can of the Kalinagos. We specify that the Saint-Jacques fund, obtaining its name in memory of Governor Jacques du Parquet, is the triple symbol of the elimination of any remnant of the political significance of what survives from the Kalinagos, of the confirmed role of the clergy in the conquest colonial, and especially of the definitive establishment of the French in Martinique. The famous Treaty of Basse-Terre in the island of Saint Kitts (current Saint Kitts) on March 30, 1660 establishes the fact of the defeat of the Kalinagos against the English and French conquerors following the occupation of the east of the Martinique. Father Labat, managing at the very end of the 17th century the sugar estate of the Saint Jacques Fund, improved the sugar-making techniques of Brazilians of Dutch origin and left his writing on the New Voyage to the American Isles . We find there many details on the farm but also on the daily life. Jacques Petitjean Roget, from the Martinique Historical Society, explained the genesis of this place which has become legendary. He talks about his place in the eighteenth century, his life during the revolutionary era and the requisition of the property of the clergy. In the nineteenth century, the house became the property of the crown where state slaves were assigned, non-slaves recovered from slave trade ships, it was then leased. Then after the abolition of slavery, the habitation gradually declined and the premises of the old habitation were largely abandoned and even invaded by cursed fig trees. We will arrive in 1931 at the operation of fragmentation then at the ex-purgery which from 1957, is intended to serve as store and garage for the future SICA. The premises of the old 17th century sugar factory, a place of reception for Quebec university studies for a good decade after 1966, and later a museum site, a crossroads of cultural activities are close to this very active SICA.
But what remains most endearing in this writing on the sixtieth anniversary of this Sica is the profusion of testimonies and tables on people you have sometimes met but for whom you had little perceived the richness of their commitments. These recollections of memories and experiences are an invaluable part of the book.
Find the known figures or the evocation of the Riffard Lordinot (Sugar Loaf), the Dolor Banidol (SICA de Bois Rouge), the Albert Platon (François), these were militant agricultural trade unionists, communist militants but first of all small farmers who had faith in collective work and who we find in this new adventure in the world of the countryside.
Recovering the traces and memories of Valère Gabin, Louis Venkatapen, Théodore Dubousquet who marked the steps of the agricultural environment of this country is a contribution to our knowledge of a history of our time.
Rediscovering the alert Guy Renard, passionate farmer, former occupant of fallow land, municipal councillor, general councillor, president of the SICA of the Saint Jacques Fund, whose dynamism he still fuels. See again the experts and instructors of the first hour such as the militant Marianne Malsa or the elegant and talented sportsman of the Franciscan club that was Alfred Arimone, whose immense agricultural activity in the SICAs we are told.
Reevaluate the considerable and specific place of women. This is Joséphine Glombard, known as Afine, administrative secretary of the Sica du Fonds Saint Jacques from the year of its creation. She is only 18 years old and left high school because her large family, whose father died, is too poor. She spent four years at the SICA but passed the Elementary Certificate which allowed her to become a teacher. Here is also Renée Bénéteau de la Prairie, assistant accountant first at the SICA of Morne Étoile (Lorrain), then straddling the SICAs of Morne des Esses and Fonds Saint Jacques, she spent her entire professional life from 1962 to the year 2000 in the agricultural world. Here are a few more of the small number of women in the life of the SICA: They are Annette Varasse, Lucie Jacqua née Flobinus, Véronique Julienne, Muriel Richer, Valérine Bizet. There is undoubtedly another subject for research and reflection on our peasant world.
Readers of this fascinating survey can only draw valuable lessons. That this study still arouses the desire to go further and to continue is the best praise that can be given to Guy Flandrina.

Crafting a useful and profitable marketing strategy is one of the most difficult things a business has to do and extremely crucial too. TV, radio, and internet-based ads already bombarding the users with same old fluff information that is quickly losing its effectiveness. In fact, the overexposure to a sea of advertising is causing the 'banner blindness' and most people just feel irritated by it.
Keeping this present scenario in mind, it's only fitting to make the most of the word of mouth publicity. And, what better way to achieve that than to join a good business referral group? This type of marketing is also termed as referral marketing.
When someone with no personal interest or benefit refers a brand to you, you are more likely to believe it than an advertisement which is clearly aiming to promote self-interest.
A referral program website is based on the same principle. It does promotional work by offering a platform where professionals, businesspersons, and clients can endorse each other using referrals. If a businessperson or a brand is able to secure quality referrals, it can attract a strong clientele. The clients are more likely to stick to that business entity because it happens to have good word of mouth publicity.

Sabah to have 'zip-line' tours at marine park
Thursday, 27 Feb 2014
12:00 AM MYT
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah will be the first state in the country to introduce "zip-line" tours at the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park islands here soon.
Zip-lining involves "flying" from one elevated point to another while suspended on a descending line.
Sabah Parks board of trustees chairman Datuk Seri Tengku Zainal Adlin Mahamood said the zip-line tours were expected to commence in a few months.
"The idea came from members of Sabah Parks. We are finalising all security aspects as well as checking on all the equipment," he said after an event at Gaya Island here yesterday.
Tengku Adlin said the zip line would connect Gaya and Sapi islands with a "flying" distance of about 200m.
He said the equipment had already been set up on the two islands.
Researchers had found three types of Proboscis monkeys living on Gaya Island and this could be another attraction, he added.
Tengku Adlin also said there would soon be a limit to the number of visitors to the five islands that make up the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park.

'Creepy' Netflix tweet raises serious concerns about user privacy
By Staff Writer on	 2017-12-13 Apps & Software, Internet
A tweet by the Netflix US Twitter account has sparked privacy concerns amongst users after the streaming giant revealed that 53 people have watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days.
Not surprisingly, this has drawn criticism from several quarters.
To the 53 people who've watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days: Who hurt you?
— Netflix US (@netflix) December 11, 2017
It seems that the tweet was intended as a bit of fun and to be taken light-heartedly but some users have described the tweet as "creepy" and it has naturally sparked the long-running debate about the company watching its customers too closely.
One natural concern is how many Netflix employees have access to private data and whether this information can be used to identify individuals or if it is just broad information.
Some questions for reporters to ask Netflix:
—How many employees have access to people's viewing habits?
—Are there any controls on how they can access this data/what it can be used for?
—What's the punishment for creeping on people?
—Why are they publicly shaming customers? https://t.co/bnouaaGnZC
— Trevor Timm (@trevortimm) December 11, 2017
Netflix's strategy of openly mocking its bad content is, I mean, interesting.
— joe-gle bells (@mutablejoe) December 12, 2017
As early as 2007, researchers from the University of Texas claimed that they were able to identify individual Netflix customers just from anonymous data that the company openly revealed.
Trevor Timm, the executive director of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, is one of the people who was concerned by Netflix's Twitter update.
A spokesperson said, "The privacy of our members' viewing is important to us. This information represents overall viewing trends, not the personal viewing information of specific, identified individuals."
From this statement, it would be fair to deduce that the stats that were quoted in the original tweet are accurate.
The initial thoughts were that the stats could quite easily have been invented and used purely to promote A Christmas Prince, a programme that has received some very mixed reviews with it being branded both the best and worst film that viewers have ever seen.
Interestingly, the tweet has gained more than 100,000 Retweets and 415,000 Favourites and the US Twitter account has responded to many of the tweets in quite a sarcastic manner.
Netflix is not the first company to tweet about their audience with Spotify recently doing something similar.
According to Spotify, its posters are "designed to showcase the emotional experience of our listeners, and the stories you see are inspired by data we have."

'STAY AT HOME' NATIONAL LOCKDOWN ORDER AND THE PIECE HALL
Posted On: 8 Jan 2021
It is with a heavy heart that following the most recent Government 'stay at home' order, we have decided to close our doors to the public once again with immediate effect. We do this in the hope and knowledge that there are better times to come in the not-too-distant future.
We have taken this decision to protect visitors, tenants, and our staff. We want to ensure that every effort is made to contain the new virulent strains of the virus, ease the pressures on a strained NHS and allow the new vaccines to be rolled out as quickly as possible. We hope that by playing our role in this at this moment in time, we are not putting people unnecessarily at risk.
In line with Government guidance, there will be some limited activity from our tenants and partners where this is safe and permitted. As an essential retailer, Just Gaia will be accepting online orders and will be fulfilling these through delivery and collection. For more information on shopping from Just Gaia, please visit their website. You can also buy and support our wonderful community of retailers online at www.thepiecehall.co.uk/shop and some of our studio-based businesses will operate but not engage in customer-facing activities at The Piece Hall.
We will be using this quiet period to undertake a comprehensive and thorough deep clean of the entire site, so that when we're ready to open our doors once again we can welcome visitors back to a safe environment. We will continue to review our operating position throughout the lockdown in line with Government restrictions and in consultation with public health officials, and let you know when things may change.
At this time, small traders, independents and retailers at large are facing tough economic challenges and uncertainty. We have been liaising closely with our hard-working tenants from the moment that lockdown was announced, as we have been doing throughout the pandemic. We are continuing to support them as much as we can, and welcome the additional financial measures put in place by the Government to support small businesses.
The Piece Hall has a large and engaged following and is blessed with many loyal advocates and regular visitors. During this time, many have been asking how they can best support the venue and our amazing traders. There are three things which I would ask you to consider:
Please shop local – many of our traders are continuing to trade online. Details of how you can buy from them can be found via The Piece Hall website here, so please do browse and support if you can. Please also remember the other local businesses in our Borough who will need your help.
Become a member – there are some great membership benefits to be had, from exclusive offers to priority booking for top events, and every membership directly benefits the work we do to keep The Piece Hall open and free to enter for all. Click here to find out more.
Donate – as a charitable trust, we welcome donations, however small or large, which can make a real difference to keep this incredible building open and free to enter. Click here to make a donation.
It goes without saying that we do not take the decision to close our doors lightly, but we do recognise the important role that we must play in helping to defeat this virus. We have worked closely with all partners, including Calderdale Council, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, DCMS, Historic England, Welcome to Yorkshire and many others to understand how we can continue to support recovery efforts.
It is our firm belief that culture, trade and heritage will be more important than ever as we emerge from these current restrictions. In the meantime, we would like to wish you well and hope that you and your loved ones remain safe. We are all really looking forward to welcoming you back to your Piece Hall as soon as it is safe to do so.

The wing sign could be something important or just the gargoyle laughing at us.
My twisted sense of humor is telling me that Reid should stumble into the conversation with the gargoyle, and speak his language fluently.... (while drunk)..... but not be able to remember any of it after he sobers up..... pointless and sidetracking as it would be... it just sounds funny in my head.
Ah but that could be a good way for us to get clues.
I hope that reads as funny as it sounded in my head.
No, that is so funny sounding that it has to go in!
I think what the gargoyle was saying is there is a pretender to the metal stone. Or someone thinls they are king Arthur and is useing the ravens. Whether or he is on his own or not is up for debate.
If you sober Reid, he will give a few confused clues. But be won't know what they mean.
I thing it was just complaining about the amount of pigeons in the air!
Well Reid is not going to like me very much after this.
Crap.. you said metal stone and I read metal throne in my head. sorry . I am sure you folks can make that work. hope my theatrics were okay.
Go to bed Ranger Reid, your Drunk!
not any more. now I am just nasty.
on the subject of a book version, the reid/Gargoyle would need to be separate chapters and would need a serious edit!
I had to remind him to stay on topic.
I warned you that his attitude can become somewhat un approachable, sorry guys but you just found his trip switch!
He has a serious problem with the Authurains but you will need to wait until my books are published to find out why.
Reid's family had a prior dealing with the Morrigan. bad juju.
Celia has some of her own nasty dealing with the fae. She didn't exactly get Toby fairly. The goblins wanted more than she could give so she pretended to be there on behalf of the winter court to bring the boy back. And they went for it because no one wants to be on mabs bad side.
I wonder about the young man dressed as a guard at the tower who was so angry. We've mentioned tunnels and Reid's cursed family included a berserker who hid underground when he became a creature of rage. Any connection?
I had thought he was the soldier with the strings on his hands and wrists. A puppet for the Morrigan. Stella had mentioned her using a mortal tricking him to thinking he was the next Arther. I sorta thought he was in the right place at the right time to be her minion.
But that was just where I saw it possibly going. Like,I told Stella, I dont want to over step when,I toss stuff out there.
I thought someone was trying to enslave the Morrigan, because she isn't inherently evil.
Besides, maybe the kid tried,to use her, and she reversed it on him, and is using his plot to her purpose. He would still register as a puppet.
No but she is really powerful and can be very brutal when you get on her bad side. All the fae don't really play by mortal rules and can be very tricky. And the winter court can get away with more because they balance out the softness of the summer court. Now during Arthur's time there were fewer rules that had been worked in to magic so she was a real terror and things were more black and white. I think in this setting as far as magic goes the longer humans are around the more complicated things get. I think both Celia and Reid are worried because they have both crossed her in the past and she has every right to take what is hers.
I believe that someone is trying to enslave The Morrigan and to use The Irregulars as a distraction because at least three of their number (Celia,Toby, Reid) are people she could have a grudge against and/or use for.
Beety has contacts in various places mainly because she is old enough to remember stuff that has generally been forgotten. Even so, she's not old enough to know exactly what the non human part of her ancestry is.
I think it could be interesting if the group have to simultaneously battle The Morrigan and save her.


Dead Metal is one of the Robot Wars House Robots. At a relatively light 112 kg, his gripping claws are a menace to robots not fast enough to elude his grasp. Once he has you - his usal tactic is then to sink his 3000 Rpm Circular Cutter into you. Nice…. I love to see the sparks fly when he chomps into some poor wandering contender - thus living up to his namesake and rendering them into dead metal.
With a top speed of 112 mph form his battery driver motors, he ambles like some monstrous nightmare crustacean accross the arena. He is 70cm high, and 160cm long by 100cm wide. Impressive stats - but still dwarfed by his big brother Sir Killalot.
He has spikes and ribs for armour, with some mesh to fend off lighter blows. The meshes are not all that strong, and quite a lot of his tender insides are exposed - an attack from above at the rear would be quite effective. He also has slightly high ground clearance - exposing him to a good flipping.
He has been known to loose his cutting wheel - sending it flying across the arena before.
Robot Wars DVD Box Set If you are a real fan, you would probably want to get to know these robots well. The DVD's feature huge numbers of battles, as well as under the hood and many extras. If you are building - you could use this to your advantage to study the weapons, weaknesses and strategies of other teams.
Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction... - PC CD Rom< If you are interested in robots, battling robots and similar - but you are not quite ready to make the step into building your own yet, you could always live it out in this PC game. There are versions for other platforms. Although it is fun, and some degree of robot customization is available - it doesnt have anything on the real thing.
Robot Wars 2 - Extreme Destruction This Gameboy Advance title is good fun. In a workshop system - you must consider the normal power, vs armour, vs weight, vs offense trade-offs, you get to battle robots (including the house-robots) in a number of interesting arenas in simple 3D. You eventually get to design your own arenas. Once you have unlocked(by battling) a number of good mods, and designed a good robot - you can use these in battles with other players with a link cable. This is also available for the X-Box and PC.

GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time - the time zone which regulates world clocks and is required for all aviation planning and schedules. The Rolex GMT Master has a fourth 24-hour hand that directly displays the same time zone as the standard 12-hour hand but on a 24-hour scale. The edition of this GMT hand enabled crews to set the watch to GMT or another time zone, and, using the rotating 24-hour scale bezel, correct the offset to display a second time zone on the 24-hour scale.
This specific piece would make a great daily driver for the man always on the go. The 1675 reference is becoming increasingly hard to find and would make a great addition to an existing collection.
The previously lightly polished case retains thick lugs with chamfers still present, showing light wear from use. The "Pepsi" insert is a later Rolex replacement and remains in perfect untouched condition. The Rolex 78360 Oyster bracelet with 580 end pieces in very good condition with 12 links.

Treasury Releases 2020 National Strategy for Combating Terrorist and Other Illicit Financing
Brian Hayes | Rachel C. Agius
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's 2020 National Strategy for Combating Terrorist and Other Illicit Financing describes in great detail key priorities for the United States' Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) regime.
Review of the 2020 National Strategy will assist financial services organizations in identifying areas to exercise increased diligence and expect heightened scrutiny from regulators.
Among the vulnerabilities discussed are customer due diligence relating to beneficial ownership of legal entities, perceived compliance weaknesses at financial institutions, and the evolving use and regulation of digital assets.
The 2020 National Strategy for Combating Terrorist and Other Illicit Financing was issued earlier this month by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Prepared in consultation with regulators and law enforcement, including the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the 2020 National Strategy describes in great detail key priorities for the United States' Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) regime. Review of the 2020 National Strategy will assist financial services organizations in identifying areas to exercise increased diligence and expect heightened scrutiny from regulators. Among the vulnerabilities discussed in the 2020 National Strategy are customer due diligence relating to beneficial ownership of legal entities, perceived compliance weaknesses at financial institutions, and the evolving use and regulation of digital assets.
Lack of Disclosure Obligations for Beneficial Ownership Information
The 2020 National Strategy identifies the lack of disclosure obligations for beneficial ownership information at company formation as among the primary weaknesses in the nation's AML/CFT regime. Although the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued a Customer Due Diligence (CDD) Rule in May 2018 requiring financial institutions to identify and confirm the identities of beneficial owners of legal entity customers when an account is opened, there remains no requirement at the state or federal level for the disclosure of beneficial ownership information at the time of company formation. The 2020 National Strategy advocates for Congress to address this gap by legislating a national requirement for companies to report such information to the government. Legislation proposed to address this gap, such as the Corporate Transparency Act of 2019, bears watching. Creation of a national beneficial ownership database on which financial institutions could rely would ease the CDD burden for financial institutions during customer onboarding. This would be welcome development, as regulators continue to focus on this issue. For example, in its 2020 Fiscal Year Bank Supervision Operating Plan, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) indicates that customer due diligence and beneficial ownership compliance will be an emphasis in its supervisory strategy.
Compliance Program Weaknesses at Regulated Financial Institutions
Continuing financial institution compliance weaknesses are also identified as a source of vulnerability in the 2020 National Strategy, and the Treasury Department affirms that regulators' commitment to a risk-based focus on AML compliance is viewed as the key to improving effectiveness. Although the Treasury Department proclaims that "the expectation for AML/CFT compliance is not perfection" and that regulators will not take a "zero tolerance" approach, it is clear that the government will continue to scrutinize closely the efforts of financial institutions in this regard. For example, the director for Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) Compliance Policy at the OCC recently proclaimed that it continues to see "risk assessments that are too narrowly focused [or] outdated," which may lead to "inadequate or incorrect customer risk identification or ratings." He added that in some cases, "banks have outgrown their monitoring systems," and urged institutions to "pause every once and awhile" and "assess how their risk profiles, customer bases and product offerings have changed, and adjust their compliance program as necessary."1 The emphasis on a risk-focused approach is consistent with prior agency guidance, such as the Statement on Risk-Focused Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering Supervision issued jointly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), FinCEN, National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and OCC in July 2019. The 2020 National Strategy's proclaimed "commitment" to an examination system focused on risk assessment reaffirms that regulated institutions should be prepared to demonstrate to examiners that they have implemented processes which effectively identify, measure, monitor and control risks.
After previously being identified as an "emerging threat" in the 2018 National Strategy, the Treasury Department now lists "digital assets" as an established vulnerability alongside more traditionally recognized threats. The Treasury Department recognizes "digital assets" as including not only digital currencies, but also digital assets that are securities, commodities and derivatives. The Treasury Department provides a useful summary in the 2020 National Strategy of the development of digital asset regulation by the government during the last several years, the potential role of national digital currencies, as well as examples of recent notable enforcement activity. In April 2019, for example, FinCEN imposed a civil monetary penalty and industry bar for BSA violations against an individual who exchanged digital currency for U.S. dollars, in some instances by coordinating wire transfers of funds through a depository institution. Noting that gaps in domestic and foreign supervision persist, the 2020 National Strategy states that regulators "expect all digital asset service providers to address consumer and investor protections, cybersecurity, and international efforts to counter tax evasion, money laundering, and the financing of terrorism concerns before bringing products or services to market."

February 4, 2018 Armenia, Politics No comments
From Pedophilia to Election Fraud and Political Prisoners: Could Ignoring These Horrible Things Really Advance US Interests?
A recent article by New York Times based on an investigative report about child sexual abuse by the Afghan security forces shook even the most ardent supporters of the US action in that volatile country. According to that report, systemic sexual abuse of young boys by top military commanders was allowed to go free by the US army, despite available evidence and presence of laws preventing US funding for offending units. Ironically, the Taliban all but eradicated this practice during its rule.
This incident reveals one very dark side associated with the way some officials—military and foreign service—seek to advance what they may perceive as US interests in a country or a region they are involved in. While indeed difficult to quantify and often not clearly spelled out by political leaders, it is safe to say that US long-term interests in any country and at any time cannot possibly be advanced (and may in fact be endangered) by cover-ups and subsequent revelations of such nature. What is bad for the Taliban cannot be acceptable for the United States, which—apart from maintaining a higher moral ground—needs to win the hearts and minds of people of Afghanistan to succeed in that country.
Armenia is another country where US diplomats have over the years chosen to look the other way in the face of credible evidence of abuse of an entire population. The abuse in question is the massive election fraud and systemic corruption that enabled a criminal Russian puppet regime to rule Armenia for many years and enrich its top members to unprecedented levels. The head of the regime, Serge Sargsyan, will soon be allowed to govern without term limits, following a fraudulent Constitutional Referendum of 2015, which he manipulated under the watchful eye of Western observers. Several diplomatic cables made public by Wikileaks and our conversations with US diplomats over the years showed how well the US embassy staff in Armenia knew about the corrupt nature of the Armenian regime. Yet, they limit their action to inconsequential rhetoric and often chose to look the other way.
More recently, the issue of political prisoners in Armenia came to the forefront of public discussion, among them a US citizen and seasoned political activist, businessman, and lawyer, Garo Yegnukian. The video footage of Mr. Yegnukian being taken out of a hospital ER in handcuffs by several special police a few weeks ago was beyond shocking. Garo, a father of five, was active in the late-80 movement that advocated for Armenia's independence from the Soviet Union. Up until his detention in July 2016, he has remained a vocal supporter of civil reform, ecological awareness, and democratic ideals in his ancestral Armenia. Over 18 months have passed since his detention on charges that challenge his right for free speech and assembly during July 2016 standoff in the capital of Yerevan. All this time he has been denied bail and subjected to moral and psycological pressures. His health condition has worsened to the point where he was taken directly out of the court room to the ER.
In the wake of the high-profile death of activist Arthur Sargsyan in prison in March 2017, there is little doubt that the oligarchic regime in Armenia wishes to make an example of Garo—even up to the point of causing his death—to frighten and subdue other Diaspora Armenians who would dare challenge its corrupt practices and pro-Russian foreign policy orientation. Other prominent political prisoners, such as Jirayr Sefilian, Andreas Ghukasyan, and Gevorg Safaryan, have been held in pre-trial detention for even longer periods without normal due process or possibility of bail. While "awaiting a trial date" they are subjected to constant moral and physical abuse designed to break their spirits and force them to give up hope for a more just, democratic, and secure Armenia.
To our disappointment, although the life of a US citizen is in danger, the State Department has proven itself utterly oblivious to the patent violations of Armenian and international laws in Garo's case. Despite repeated appeals by Garo's lawyers, as well as petitions from friends of Garo and letters from Policy Forum Armenia, the State Department and the Embassy in Armenia have chosen to turn a blind eye to facts and have instead taken the word of corrupt apparatchiks in the Armenian government that "Garo is being treated well" during his 18-months long pre-trial detention. One wonders what level of human rights abuses must be recorded before the US State Department deigns to take action to protect a US citizen.
Within this reality on the ground, the words of Ralf Fücks, President of Germany Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Foundation, about the West's moral leadership and value-based foreign policy most likely fell on deaf ears. He argues that "[a]uthoritarian regimes are not simply transient phenomena on the way towards democracy. They constitute a form of government in and of itself, and they are unapologetic about it. This also means that we cannot pretend they will disappear tomorrow." He then goes on to suggest that "[w]e need to openly criticize rigged elections, arbitrary rule and grave human rights violations. … Political and economic sanctions designed to inflict costs for grave violations of international law are foreign policy tools of last resort."
Political maneuvering and horse-trading with a client regime of Russia should not be done at the expense of fundamental freedoms and human rights of any country, but especially of US citizens. The only result of this current policy of turning a blind eye can be worsening of governance and human rights in Armenia and indeed the region, ultimately undermining the credibility of the US and weakening its position in the country. Armenia can only prosper and be a strong partner for the US if human rights are respected and government works for all instead of a select few. It is therefore imperative that every friend of Armenia take an opportunity to impress upon Serge Sargsyan and his administration that systematic repressions of political activists and dissidents cannot be tolerated and that the empty rhetoric about political reform will no longer be acceptable.

How do You Become an App Developer?
Choose Your Platform
Which One is Better Among Native and Cross-Platform App Development?

Which Programming Language do I Choose First?
How Do You See Your Career?
A Career as an Entrepreneur
In 2019, there were 204 billion app downloads in the world. According to Statista, we can expect a revenue of $581.9 from mobile apps in 2020. By 2023, app revenues are expected to hit $935.2 billion. Figures like these show that in a world run by technology, there will always be a shortage of apps, and thus, mobile app development has been and will keep on being one of the most lucrative careers.

Mobile app development helps us create applications that work on mobile devices. Mobile app development refers to the researching, designing, developing, and implementation of mobile programs that help solve a particular problem for people.
It is not enough to become an app developer by only learning how to code. There are 1.84 million and 2.57 million apps on the Apple Store and Google Playstore, respectively. What this shows is the app market has unlimited promises, but a lot of competition. So, you should also have good knowledge of the business point of things, i.e. how you will keep on sustaining for a prolonged period.
Here are the steps you need to follow to become a mobile app developer.
The first thing to do is to specialize in a platform. On the other hand, you can also choose to make apps for every operating system.
While choosing a platform (operating system), you need to research the market – the number of people using it, its competition and sustainability.
Depending on the platform, there are two types of app development – native and cross-platform.
Native app development means creating applications for a single platform. For example, XCode lets you develop apps for Apple devices. On the other hand, the official IDE for Android is Android Studio.
A native app tends to have more superior performance than a cross-platform app because it incorporates hardware better. Say that you make an application specifically for iOS and not Android, then you can go all out with the features to make use of the mighty Apple hardware that most inexpensive Androids don't have. Thus, your app will perform better.
Cross-platform app development means creating apps for more than one platform at a time. There are many cross-platform app development tools that can help you develop applications for multiple operating systems with the same coding.
Especially with powerful native tools like Xamarin, React Native, and Phonegap, these days, cross-platform apps look and operate very much like native applications. However, the difference is still there; cross-platform apps will never be as close to the hardware compared to native apps.
The main benefit of cross-platform development is that your work will be both time and cost-effective.

You can refer to one of our articles, Native vs Hybrid App Development, where we have made in-depth comparisons between native and cross-platform app development. There, you will also know the concept of hybrid app development.
It is true that these days, developers try to create apps for every major platform. There is nothing wrong with that, but as an individual, apart from creating cross-platform applications, you should also command expertise in native app development for at least one operating system. It is also about the jobs available once you become a professional; some major app companies code separately for different operating systems.
The next step in becoming a mobile app developer is choosing a programming language. You can learn more than one language (which you will most likely need to do), but similar to the app development phase, you should become proficient in at least one language.
These are the most common programming languages for mobile app development:
Java is an object-based language which has been the most prominent and widely used language for mobile development. It is mostly used for web and Android developments, and the coding is simple and easy to understand. Moreover, with the language being popular for years, there is a vast online community, and the tools have also matured a lot, so it will be easy for you to learn and access any help.

The best thing about Python for learners is its English-like syntax. The code looks like natural language and thus, in addition to being simple, there will be lesser errors, and simple debugs.
According to Slashdata's reports, Python recently became the most-used programming language in the world, overtaking Java. There are at least 8.2 million Python developers (7.6 million for Java).
Despite the above statistics, Python is mostly only suitable for desktop development. The language wasn't created as native to Android or iOS, and these operating systems don't list Python as an official language. We recommend you to give it a try if you are planning to develop apps for desktop.

C++ is also an excellent choice for mobile app development. The code is similar to Java, even though it is a little more complicated, and you can use it to create awesome applications with sustainable features.
C++ is a compiled language which is usually used to write hardware-level programs. You see, it is closer to machine language than Java, so we use it to run faster software than needs to run directly with memory, processor, or hard drive. C++ is also preferred for resource-intensive games that need to be lightning fast.

The main benefit of learning PHP is that you can create better web-based and hybrid applications, as it was initially a server-side script language. PHP is great for back-end, but you will be better off learning another programming language for front end development.
Also, if you didn't know, a web-based application is an application that can run on a website. For more information read Native App vs Hybrid App Development: What is the Difference?

Many beginners seem to confuse JavaScript with Java. No, they are not the same.
JavaScript is straightforward to learn. It is used for cross-app development. There is a condition it should be used alongside CSS, HTML, and Ajax, which will not be a big deal as all of these accompanying languages are very simple.
Thus, if you are planning to extensively use cross-platform tools like Adobe PhoneGap, you should have a strong JavaScript knowledge for your convenience.
Swift is the official programing language for iOS development. There is another language, Objective C, but Swift is new and has a simpler syntax.
Swift is very fast. Its speed is almost comparable to C++. The programming language is practically close to English. Also, being the official language for iOS, you can expect it to do everything that Java, the official language for Android Studio, can do.
Remember that generally, you can code for Apple devices only on an Apple machine. We have an article on our site where we give you tricks to build an iOS app on Windows.
Of course, you will make a lot of money once you are a prolific mobile app developer. The average salary of mobile app developers in the US is $107,000 a year. Of course, salaries will vary depending on where you live, but generally, mobile app developers make more than the average salary in every part of the world.
You still will have to decide how you wish to move forward with your career plan. You can either take a job or proceed as an entrepreneur.
To take this path, you can look at local job listings to find work at companies who are looking for a programmer. On the other hand, even if you don't have the experience, you can apply for internships, both paid and unpaid, to learn about the work and also the corporate world.
The good thing about taking a job is that it is stable. You can generate a regular income and won't have to worry about gigs, not getting work, and such. On the other hand, getting a job means working for others – you will not have a lot of personal freedom, and apart from your coding skills, it is challenging to grow personally (in some cases). Also, the salaries tend to be lower than the directly negotiated price.
You can also look at mobile app development as a business hustle. For this, as soon as you complete learning the programming language, you create an account on popular freelance sites like Freelancer, Upwork, or even Fiverr, and then start looking and bidding on gigs.
Finding the first client without an impressive portfolio is always going to be difficult, so we recommend you create a website. There, mention your interests, skillsets, and you can also upload some sample works. You need to learn to pitch; that is, research the market, approach companies that may require an application, and reach out to them.
Instead of working for or helping others, you can also make an application and upload it on popular app stores. To help you more on this, we have a separate article on our site: A Guide to Mobile App Marketing that You Should Know.
The benefit of working by yourself is that you get your personal space, will have more freedom, and projects pay more. However, you can't always guarantee a gig, or that your apps are always going to be a success.
Remember, the above comparison is stereotypical. A salaryman with Google will always make more than a person who decides to make their own mobile apps but fails to get significant downloads.
The concept of being a mobile app developer is simple. You choose a platform, learn the necessary coding skills, and start looking for work. Programming isn't an easy job, and in this competitive world, you need to be extraordinary to make something out of your app development career.

There have been major advances in contact lens technology over the past ten years so contact lenses are now an option for almost anyone. People thinking they can't wear contact lenses because they have astigmatism or they wear thick glasses, is a thing of the past.
Contact lenses may be fitted only for cosmetic reasons, say to change the eye colour or to improve the cosmesis in a patient with a scarred or badly disfigured eye. Orthokeratology uses contact lenses in a programmed way to remould the shape of the cornea to reduce or eliminate short-sightedness or astigmatism errors in the eye. Some contact lenses can be worn continuously, including during sleep, for extended periods of time.


Behind the debris of a waterfront long past its prime is a repurposed factory. In a second floor studio shaped like the narrow hull of a ship, Alice Vaughan runs Hudson River Bindery, her one-woman show. Several large vintage cutting and pressing machines line the walls, along with the hand tools of her craft. The air smells faintly of leather and glue and paper—the comforting smell of books.It was this smell that first attracted Vaughan to the craft of bookbinding. She was a student on sabbatical in London and looking for a part-time job. Noticing an advertisement in the window of a bindery, it took her three days to work up the courage to apply for the job. By the time she sailed back to the U.S. on the boat her husband had built, she had the tools and skill to bind their ship's log, albeit with dental floss.With light flooding in through the large picture window overlooking the Hudson, Vaughan explains how each job is done in multiple stages. Often she will leave work in one of the heavy metal presses while the homemade wheat paste dries. To keep business moving, Vaughan works on several projects at once.On display is a historic ledger with well-thumbed covers that have come asunder. She's been able to salvage some of the marbled end papers, and the pages of graceful copper plate are in good condition. Once she's repaired the spine and attached new covers, the book will last another 150 years.She's also working on a new three-volume manuscript. Vaughan has cut the pages down to size and stitched them together with a saddlers needle. Carefully constructing the spine with headbands to prevent it from breaking when pulled from a shelf, she's now ready to attach the boards for the cover. There are many ways of finishing a book: these volumes will have a combination of leather and marbled paper. Vaughan sources the leather from Pergamena, a local tannery in Montgomery. Lastly, she will use a finishing press to hold the books steady while she titles them using gold leaf.Vaughan calls her work "glorified packaging," but obviously takes great pleasure in it. "I'm always trying to figure stuff out. It's really fun problem solving," she says. In addition to her restorations and private press work, she designs and crafts display boxes and portfolios for artists.After 40 years in the craft, Vaughan continues to hone her skills. "You find who's good and study with them... make a pest of yourself." She recently took a master class where she was humbled by how much she still needs to learn about applying gold leaf freehand. She's also eager to pass on her skills and teaches once a week at SUNY New Paltz, fledging the next generation of bookbinding careers.

Elle est nommée en l'honneur d'Eulalie de Mérida.

Histoire
L'érection canonique de Sainte-Eulalie a été décrétée le  et la paroisse a été érigée en municipalité civile par Proclamation du Gouvernement Monck le .

Dès l'automne 1861, Noé Tourigny, venant de Saint-Grégoire, commence à défricher le premier lot de la concession. La plupart des colons qui s'établiront dans la paroisse au début de la colonisation venant d'ailleurs de Saint-Grégoire dont plusieurs étaient de descendance acadienne.

La première église est érigée en 1872. Devenue vraisemblablement trop exiguë, elle sera remplacée par l'église actuelle dont les travaux avaient débuté en 1904. Elle sera livrée aux paroissiens le .

La municipalité scolaire est instituée par ordre du Gouverneur en Conseil le  et la Caisse populaire verra le jour le  alors que 22 sociétaires souscrivent chacun une part sociale de .

Sainte-Eulalie s'est dotée, au cours des ans de plusieurs services communautaires. Un comité de loisirs avait vu le jour en 1948, mais c'est en 1967 que les Loisirs de Sainte-Eulalie sont incorporés. En 1979, sous l'égide des "Chevaliers de Colomb," sept organismes s'unissent pour créer «L'Accord» qui se donne comme mission de doter la paroisse d'un centre communautaire. Celui-ci sera inauguré le .

Grâce à une aide financière majeure du programme de « Mise en valeur de l'environnement d'Hydro-Québec, le , on procède à l'inauguration d'un important agrandissement du centre communautaire qui devient ainsi une intéressante salle multifonctionnelle au service de la communauté paroissiale.

Le  marquait l'inauguration de la villa «Bonne Entente», une bâtisse abritant dix logements à prix modique.

Le samedi , un incendie détruit, au village, trois maisons incluant un magasin général et une forge. À la suite de ce sinistre, la municipalité acquiert une pompe à feu et fait creuser un puits dans le parterre de l'église. On peut considérer que c'est à ce moment que naît un service d'incendie relativement organisé.

Aujourd'hui, ce service compte près de 20 pompiers volontaires qui disposent d'un camion-pompe, d'un camion-citerne et d'une caserne érigée il y a à peine deux ans. Depuis 1975, le village est doté d'un système d'égout et d'aqueduc.

Illnesses connected to 2 fairs
Petting zoos linked to kidney syndrome
A Collier County resident was recovering Monday, one of 14 Floridians diagnosed with a kidney syndrome possibly caused by petting zoos at two fairs.
The patient's name or gender was not released.
Last week the Florida Department of Health said it was investigating more than a dozen reported cases of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), which begins as a strain of E. coli that lives in the gut of cattle, sheep, goat and other animals.
Most humans who are infected by it endure mild to severe diarrhea, but about 8 percent of people who ingest it will develop HUS, which can lead to kidney failure. Some of the symptoms of HUS include weakness, paleness and less frequent urination.
"We have a confirmed case," said Deb Millsap, spokesperson for the Collier County Health Department. "We are in close contact with our case. They've been monitored from the point that they had diarrhea. The person is doing well and recovering. We're still in contact."
On Monday a Pasco County girl's death was being investigated for possible connections with HUS, but Lindsay Hodges, a spokesperson for the state health department, said the girl was not on the state's list of confirmed cases.
The state said each of the 14 had visited either the Strawberry Festival in Plant City or the Central Florida Fair in Orlando. Nine of the confirmed cases live in Orange County, two in Volusia and one each in Seminole, Pasco and Collier. Two of the cases are adults and 12 are children.
Millsap said children may have been petting the animals or riding the ponies and then touching their mouths, but added that the infection could have come from anywhere.
Anyone who attended the fairs and have symptoms should contact their physician, she said.
"Although the state is investigating the festival, it's not sure if it was the petting zoo, the pony rides," Millsap said. "It also could've been things like milking demonstrations or a food handler that was contaminated.
"If an infant was walking around the petting zoo or the animals in a barn and falls in the ground, they can get E. coli from the feces of the animals," she said. "If later they touch their clothes and put their hand in their mouth like kids do, that could be a form of transmission."

I have recently discovered this fascinating little slice of wartime history in a bag of old lace!
A cloth bag measuring about 12 ins across in a purple/brownish colour. It has a discoloured white cotton lining with various pocketed sections and a closing flap with popper fastening. Inside there is a label as pictured above which reads ''from your American friends BUNDLES FOR BRITAIN '' . These bags and many other items were part of a relief effort in the early part of the Second World War of non-military items from the USA to Britain. It was started by a lady called Marion Newbert Jorgensen and became a regional organisation across the USA under her management sending much needed items to wartime Britain . The bag is in really very nice condition for age , all original including the label , with just a little wear to the lining . It has been used by a lady to keep her sewing and needlework items in so has been carefully looked after over many years . A very interesting piece of wartime history which Mr W has listed for me on ebay..click here if you want to view the auction. Now onwards with the sorting....... I still have a way to go with my Autumn "Spring Clean".
What an interesting find. Lizzie, a day at home??
A morning at home Tracey!.... have to go out later. From what I have read about these bags they would have contained knitted clothing and other such items... amazing eh!
That is just the kind of item I dream of finding!
What a wonderful slice of history!

Q: Edit main thread object by child threads in java I have a main thread in which I have defined a HashMap object. Now in main thread I am creating N threads. now each thread will append its result in main thread's HashMap object and terminate. I tried passing the HashMap object in constructor but when I do this each thread make a local copy of HashMap object and edits it. This change doesn't save in main thread's HashMap object. what do I do?
in my main class
ThreadParallel threads[] = new ThreadParallel[N];
HashMap<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
{
 threads[i] = new ThreadParallel(map);
}

now in ThreadParallel class
public class ThreadParallel implements Runnable{

HashMap<Integer, String> map;
Thread t;

public ThreadParallel(HashMap<Integer, String> map) {
          this.map = map;
      t = new Thread(this);
      t.start();
}
@Override
public void run() {
      // adding data
}

}

A: Not the best of design but how about making the map public and static in your main class and accessing it in the thread class. Also using the concurrentHashMap will eliminate the synchronization problems.
ThreadParallel threads[] = new ThreadParallel[N];
public static ConcurrentMap<Integer, String> map = new ConcurrentHashMap<Integer, String>();
for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
{
 threads[i] = new ThreadParallel(map);
}

ThreadParallel class
public class ThreadParallel implements Runnable{

Thread t;

public ThreadParallel() {
      t = new Thread(this);
      t.start();
}
@Override
public void run() {

      // adding data by accessing the main class map in static way
      // something lik  MainClass.map.put(1,"test");
}

}

A: You code is correct. ThreadParallel does not create a new HashMap but saves a reference to the main thread's HashMap.

A: I don't really think threads are making a local copy, it happens that HashMap is no thread-safe, try replacing HashMap with ConcurrentHashMap (java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap) this way:
ThreadParallel threads[] = new ThreadParallel[N];
Map<Integer, String> map = new ConcurrentHashMap<Integer, String>();
for(int i=0;i<N;i++) {
    threads[i] = new ThreadParallel(map);
}

and also change the code in the threads:
public class ThreadParallel implements Runnable{

    Map<Integer, String> map;
    Thread t;

    public ThreadParallel(Map<Integer, String> map) {
        this.map = map;
        t = new Thread(this);
        t.start();
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // adding data
    }

}

A: Unless you have some synchronization in you adding data block, you could experience much worse problems than this. Use ConcurrentHashMap for use from different threads simultaneously without need of further synchronization (and without any blocking on monitors).
