Q: ListView template without gaps between columns I have a simple application with ListView control which has edited template to disable any selections. Basically it acts like Grid but it can get items using ItemsSource property and has columns. I've used template for ListView control from MSDN and removed all selections etc. but still
some margins are still there and I can't get how to remove them.
The xaml is as follows:
    <Window.Resources>
<!--Control colors.-->
        <Color x:Key="WindowColor">#FFE8EDF9</Color>
        <Color x:Key="ContentAreaColorLight">#FFC5CBF9</Color>

                </GridView>
            </ListView.View>
        </ListView>
    </Grid>

The codebehind is:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        listView.ItemsSource = new List<dynamic> {
            new {X=5,Y=5},
        new {X=5,Y=5},
        new {X=5,Y=5},
        new {X=5,Y=5},new {X=5,Y=5},
        new {X=5,Y=5},
        new {X=5,Y=5},
        new {X=5,Y=5}};
    }
}

So the collection is drop dead simple, moreover ListView only shows multiple X and multiple Y strings for each item.
This is how application window looks like with gaps between columns.

How to remove gaps?

A: As you can see in this source code this is the default margin for GridViewColumns.
private static readonly Thickness _defalutCellMargin = new Thickness(6, 0, 6, 0);

This value is uses in private CreateCell(GridViewColumn column) method of GridViewRowPresenter and can't be overridden. Only thing you can do is setting an inverse margin in cell template.
Margin="-6,0"

In due course your Epson DX4250 will use all of your printer ink, and then you'll learn that replacing Epson DX4250 ink is generally really pricey. Thankfully, however, you do not need to panic about forking out the steep purchase prices you'll find on the high street because now at InkQatar you can order all the Epson DX 4250 cartridges you will ever want at really small prices. Save more cash on your ink by shopping at InkQatar!

Here is a brief review of its finer features, before we forget!
In design terms, the Epson Stylus DX4250 is fairly subtle, but this in itself is actually a good thing. After all, nobody wants to have their home dominated by any item, never mind a humble home printer. The Epson Stylus DX4250 comes is a sharp white and silver finish and uses a fine selection of angles in order to allow for a sense of personality.
The best thing about the Epson Stylus DX4250 is the results it is capable of producing. When you consider the fact that Epson themselves designed the Stylus DX-4250 as a top of the range model you might have some high expectations. Well, print outs are very pleasing indeed where the Epson Stylus DX4250 is concerned, particularly when you consider that the printer itself is very affordable, but this is pretty much a result of mother time doing her work.
As long as you are aware that the printer you have purchased is no longer a brand new model, there are no disadvantages to the Epson DX4250. It's fairly priced, effective and produces clean and clear results. So, if you seek a new printer but don't have a huge budget, you could do far worse than pick up an Epson Stylus DX4250.

Rotterdam will host Eurovision 2020.
The Dutch city of Rotterdam will be hosting the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest, after it beat out Maastricht. Amsterdam had previously ruled itself out of contention.
The contest will be held at the Ahoy Rotterdam Arena, which has a capacity of 16,000. Tickets are expected to go on sale toward the end of this year.
It was also announced that the semi-finals for the contest will be held on May 12 and May 14, with the Grand Final being held on May 16.
Shula Rijxman, the director general of the Dutch broadcaster NPO, said: "It is our wish to organise a Eurovision Song Contest that is embraced throughout the Netherlands and also functions as a showcase for our country in Europe.
"We are happy that as a public broadcaster we can now really work together with Rotterdam and the Ahoy arena to organise a unique event that connects and inspires all inhabitants of the Netherlands and Europe.
"As an entrepreneurial and creative city, Rotterdam fits perfectly with this event."
Jon Ola Sand, the European Broadcasting Union's executive supervisor for Eurovision, said: "We'd like to thank all the Dutch cities who bid to host the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest, particularly Maastricht whose exemplary bid made the final decision extremely hard.
"We are also grateful to NPO, NOS and AVROTROS, who worked tirelessly to ensure that we have the best overall setup for the world's largest live music event.
"Rotterdam has shown fantastic enthusiasm and commitment and has the right facilities to welcome delegations from over 40 countries next May.
"We look forward to working with Rotterdam and [public broadcasters] NPO, NOS and AVROTROS on an incredible state-of-the-art Eurovision Song Contest in a great city next year."

LCQ3: Use, recovery and recycling of plastics
Following is a question by the Hon Vincent Cheng and a reply by the Secretary for the Environment, Mr Wong Kam-sing, in the Legislative Council today (November 4):
As there are dine-in restrictions in catering outlets and members of the public have gone out less frequently amid the epidemic, members of the public have made more takeaway orders, resulting in an increase in the quantity of disposable plastic tableware discarded. A green group has estimated that currently over 50 million pieces of disposable plastic tableware are discarded in the territory daily, which has more than doubled the relevant quantities in the past few years. Moreover, online shopping has become a new normal amid the epidemic, and the quantity of plastic packaging materials discarded has also increased significantly. The aforesaid situation has put a heavy burden on the ecological environment. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:
(1) of the quantity of disposable plastic tableware discarded at the landfills in each month since January 2017;
(2) of the new measures in place to encourage restaurants and members of the public to reduce the use of disposable plastic tableware, and to encourage online stores and the courier industry to reduce the use of packaging materials containing plastics; whether it will review the effectiveness of such measures so as to update the target for reducing the use of plastics; and
(3) as the Environmental Protection Department has rolled out, since this year, a two-year "Plastic Recycling Pilot Scheme", under which contractors are engaged to provide registered places, such as housing estates and schools, in the Eastern District, Sha Tin and Kwun Tong, with free service of collecting waste plastics from non-commercial and non-industrial sources, of the implementation of the scheme; whether it has assessed the effectiveness of the scheme and mapped out the way forward?
With the use of plastic materials becoming popular, how to handle waste plastics to minimise their impact to the environment and ecology has become an important global issue. The Government has all along been adopting a multi-pronged approach to tackle the problem of waste plastics. On one hand, we have been taking various waste reduction initiatives to reduce waste at source; on the other, through enhancing recycling support, turning waste into resources and establishing a circular economy. In addition, we have also stepped up publicity and education efforts on various fronts to change progressively public behaviour.
In response to the questions raised by Hon Vincent Cheng, my reply is as follows:
(1) The Environmental Protection Department (EPD) conducts statistical surveys annually to compile the statistical report, "Monitoring of Solid Waste in Hong Kong". The statistics include the average monthly quantities of overall plastic tableware disposed, but there are no detailed breakdown figures for plastic disposable tableware.
From 2017 to 2018, the average monthly quantities of plastic tableware disposed were 6 220 tonnes and 6 400 tonnes respectively (equivalent to 205 tonnes and 210 tonnes per day). In recent years, disposal of plastic tableware accounted for less than 2% of the overall quantities of municipal solid waste disposed. We currently do not have the relevant statistical data for 2020. For 2019, as the relevant statistics is still under compilation, we are unable to provide the data at the moment.
(2) We understand that amid the epidemic, more members of the public will choose to order takeaways and use disposable tableware to avoid going out. EPD and the Environmental Campaign Committee have put forward a number of promotion initiatives for eight months since March this year. Through various platforms such as tram and bus bodies, bus and railway stations, outdoor advertisements, news and social media online platforms and mobile applications, etc., we appeal to the public to fight the epidemic, and at the same time to minimise the use of disposable plastic tableware, such as not requesting disposable tableware when ordering takeaways. Some takeaway platforms even set "no tableware" as the default option to facilitate customers to "skip tableware".
In mid-2020, we launched the "Reduce and Recycle 2.0" Campaign. The first phase of the Campaign mainly introduces the different types of recyclables; and promotes the green lifestyle concept of "Save More, Recycle More" and the enhanced community recycling network including 9 Community Green Stations, 22 community recycling centres, and over 100 fixed-location mobile recycling spots that receive various types of recyclables regularly. The second phase of the Campaign will focus on raising public awareness of "plastic-free" culture.
Moreover, in April 2019, the Government has commenced a study on the feasibility, scope and mechanism of controlling or banning disposable plastic tableware. Depending on the study results and analysis, the consultant will recommend to the Government a long-term and suitable plan for Hong Kong. The study is scheduled for completion by the end of this year.
In addition, we will continue to liaise with the retail industry (such as supermarkets, courier companies, etc.) to jointly explore and implement some practical measures to promote the reduction of plastic packaging materials. At the same time, through publicity, education and other various means, we will continue to encourage different stakeholders to practise simple packaging.
(3) In the past, local recycling mainly focused on recycling of waste plastic bottles and the collection mode was also relatively scattered. To complement efforts on public education and changing public's behaviour to improve the recycling rate of waste plastics, the Government has launched a "Centralised Waste Plastics Collection" Pilot Scheme this year to collect on a larger scale for free all types of waste plastics from non-commercial and non-industrial (non-C&I) sources for proper disposal. A wide range of plastic recyclables are collected, including plastic bags, plastic containers, plastic tableware, plastic straws, fruit sleeve nets, Compact Discs and other plastic packaging materials.
The Government has commenced a two-year Pilot Scheme on Collection and Recycling Services of Plastic Recyclable Materials (Pilot Scheme) in January (for Eastern District) and July (for Sha Tin and Kwun Tong) this year. As of September this year, altogether over 350 premises, including 166 public and private housing estates, 53 single block buildings, eight rural villages and 125 schools and public institutions have registered for service in the three pilot districts. The contractors will also organise weekly about 30 collection sessions via mobile collection points within the districts to facilitate public participation in recycling.The current service area covers about 42% to 64% of the population in the three districts, and a total of about 200 tonnes of plastic recyclables has been collected which is in line with the planned target. The contractors will continue to approach and invite more housing estates and buildings to participate in the Pilot Scheme to increase the quantities of recyclables collected. Subject to the experience and effectiveness of the Pilot Scheme, we will consider expanding the service to the whole territory gradually.
"Plastic-and-Disposable-Free" is a global trend. The Government will continue to adopt a multi-pronged approach on various fronts in order to promote a "plastic-free" culture. Among others, municipal solid waste (MSW) charging is an important strategy to pursue waste reduction. Quantity-based MSW charging aims to encourage the public and enterprises to actively practise waste reduction at source. Meanwhile, the Government will strike to promote reuse and recycling, support circular economy and promote green recovery of Hong Kong.
We welcome that the House Committee of the Legislative Council has set up a new Bills Committee to study the Bill on MSW Charging. The Government will actively co-operate with the Members in the scrutiny process to facilitate an early passage of the Bill.
Thank you, President.
Ends/Wednesday, November 4, 2020

Humans of CG - Episode 3
Discover everything you need at The Rookies
Humans of CG
by Andrew McDonald a year ago 3 min read
You've no doubt heard about Humans of New York. Well, we are Humans of CG - #HOCG - and we want to hear your story about the moment you realised you wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry.
Samantha Makin
I've been working in the design industry for 5 years, and am currently studying at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia. My beginning in the industry, the 'lightbulb moment' as it were, happened when I was volunteering with a carer support agency in my hometown. All of their brochures, invites, event posters -- they were so ugly and confusing. I started extending my volunteering to re-designing their event invites, eventually doing a full brand reboot, including logo, colours, standard fonts -- the lot. I caught the bug and started researching, learning online, and doing more work for free for friends and other people and organisations in the area.
Michael Perstinger
I've always know that I wanted to be an animator. Drew a lot as a kid, parents picked up on it and sent me to private classes but didn't want it as a career for me. I joined the Canadian Armed Forces reserve to pay for school and tried a science program at college. Failed out of that. Re-enrolled in Fine arts and excelled. Finished that and enrolled in a classical animation program at University. When I finished my Bachelors there I had the opportunity to Deploy to Afghanistan with the army and took it. When I came home from that I discovered that the 2D industry in Montreal had all but disappeared. I tried to teach myself 3D but the results were frankly atrocious. Fast forward through another tour to Afghanistan and I floated around for a year, not knowing what to do. Finally decided, at the age of 34 to go back to College in a 3D animation program at Dawson College. Last summer I finished up that and was hired as a junior animator by Compulsion games. I couldn't be happier!
Christoffer Eriksson
I struggled a lot in school. Didn't really have a full time job, only those short term physical boring jobs that breaks your body down. After a while I had enough and started planning what I could do that would make me happy. These thoughts led me back to my childhood. I have always loved drawing things. Every workday I would plan what to do with myself. Some time after I noticed that I liked creating something out of nothing. This led me to my passion for architecture. An idea that could become reality and really help a lot of people in the process, as well as fulfilling my needs of creativity. I had to start studying again so I could get into university. After a lot of hard work I got accepted to building technology with specialization in architecture program in Linnéuniv. I haven't stop working hard since I got accepted and is now only two month away from graduating.
Abby Nath
I have always enjoyed being fully immersed while watching a film. When I saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time at age seven, I was captivated! At the time, I knew nothing about visual effects, but I fell in love with Weta. I wanted to build props and sets, I also wanted to film, direct, edit- I wanted to do it all! I was never exactly set on what I wanted to specialise in, but I knew the film industry was for me. I eventually stumbled into the 3D world after hearing about the course Media Design School offered. I had never even considered VFX as an option, but decided to give it a try. I ended up loving absolutely every bit of my degree! In my final year, we were encouraged to enter The Rookies, and now I'm here at Rising Sun Pictures in Adelaide after winning the scholarship for the Graduate Certificate course! It's insanely incredible!

"Dr Richard Lutz has served as both CEO and CFO for nearly two years," says DB supervisory board chairman, Mr Michael Odenwald. "Our decision will allow him to focus in particular on the strategic development of the DB group."
The supervisory board also discussed DB's quality, service, punctuality and financial performance, and will hold a strategy meeting in late November where the management board will present a problem analysis as well as a strategy for the future of DB.
Earlier this month, Lutz instigated emergency spending controls as the company sought to avoid another profit warning and slow the increase in its debts, which are nearing €20bn. DB announced a 17.4% fall in profit for the first half of this year largely due to a reduction in freight traffic.

Lawyers of King family not convinced Paolo Duterte is the mastermind behind slay
Friday, September 16, 2016 Posted by Admin
CEBU CITY, Philippines - The legal counsel of the King family in Cebu, Atty. Deolito Alvarez, said he isn't convinced that Davao City Vice Mayor and presidential son Paolo Duterte ordered the killing of businessman Richard King in 2014.
Alvarez' statement came after witness Edgar Matobato indicted the younger Duterte as the mastermind behind the slay of the billionaire hotelier. In his testimony during the Senate hearing on Thursday, September 15, Matobato, who claims to be a member of the Davao Death Squad (DDS), said that Paolo wanted to have King killed because of a woman, who is reportedly a franchisee of McDonald's fast-food restaurant in Cebu.
Two of his companions, according to Matobato, were allegedly given P500,000 to assassinate King.
Speaking to Inquirer, Alvarez said he is convinced that the accused facing charges in court are the real perpetrators.
"The statement of witness Matobato in trying to cast cloud and put politics into the equation is not true," Alvarez said.
On June 12, 2014, real estate and hotel business owner King was shot dead inside his office in Davao City.
Paul Dave Molina Labang confessed as the gunman of King, while siblings Rommel and Rodel de la Cerna served as lookouts. All three men indicted former chief of regional police intelligence unit in Southern Mindanao Senior Supt. Leonardo Felonia as the mastermind behind the killing.
Meanwhile, Kabayan Party-list representative and former lawyer of King family Atty. Harry Roque said the family never suspected that the Duterte's were behind the death of King.
"Police Supt. Leonardo Felonia was charged for King's murder. Not once was it the name of Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte ever mentioned in the course of the investigation," Roque told GMA News.
In July this year, President Rodrigo Duterte said that King was involved in illegal drugs trade and had connections with top-tier drug lord Herbert Colango. King's family denied the president's Allegations.

Twitter has brought its breaking news feature, Moments, to the UK, curating updates around the most important breaking news of the day.
Twitter Moments is rolling out to users with the updated mobile app, and appears as a new tab alongside notifications and messages.
Clicking on the tab brings up five news sections within the app, called 'fun', 'today', 'news', 'entertainment' and 'sports'.
Swiping to the 'today' tab shows a list of different news stories in the UK, like astronaut Tim Peake's journey to the International Space Station.
Clicking through into the story leads to showreel feature, comprising Sky News footage of Peake's journey into space, tweets from Peake himself and tweets from the European Space Agency.
Swiping to 'entertainment' shows news around the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere in Hollywood, with tweets from entertainment journalists and actress Carrie Fisher.
Users can share particular videos and tweets from the Moment, or share a Moment as a whole.
The idea is to attract new sign ups to Twitter, and encourage its more casual users to engage. The platform has a core loyal base, but CEO Jack Dorsey said this year that he's not happy with audience growth. The company reported 320m monthly active users in October, up from 284m the prior year.
Twitter Moments in the UK are curated by the company's small in-house editorial team, comprising former journalists.
But Twitter is also allowing certain partner publishers to create their own Moments, which might appear on the main feed.
Partners include The Sun, Vice, BuzzFeed UK, BT Sport, Sky Sports, the Premier League and Vevo, among others.
As it stands, Twitter isn't personalising Moments to individual users, meaning all UK users will see the same content.
While brands have started advertising against the US version of Moments, Twitter's newly appointed UK managing director, Dara Nasr, said the UK won't start seeing ads until the end of January.
The new format allows brands to create their own Moment, with Warner Bros creating mini-trailers to build anticipation for its film Creed.
"A lot of clients have shown a lot of interest," Nasr said. "It's native [content]. As with all our ad products, it's not like a banner or pop-up. It's very clear that it's sponsored."
Other US brands signing up include Starbucks and Macy's.
Moments could also be another way for Twitter to show ads to logged-out users. Logged out US users can see Moments on Twitter's homepage, though the company couldn't confirm whether the same function would come to the UK.

Artist a Day Challenge No. 15: Samella Sanders Lewis
Confrontation, Samella Sanders Lewis. Photo Credit: Artnet
Artist and historian Samella Sanders Lewis does not shy away from confrontation. As a child she found her voice through artistic expression and she was staunchly protective of her voice, fighting any force that tried to intimidate her into silence. Her career, particularly her art history education in the 1940's was fraught with hostility and confrontation, but these challenges only sharpened her resolve.
I read through a series of interviews between the artist and Richard Candida Smith in 1997, and one excerpt was particularly interesting as it relates to the idea of identity politics. It certainly has current day relevence when I think about millennial celebrities who struggle with their fame and their identity. Reading through the volumes of this in-depth interview showed me that there is an art to confrontation, and it brings to life the old adage of "iron sharpening iron". Here's what Lewis had to say about identity, as she relays a conversation she had with her former teacher/mentor Elizabeth Catlett.
I just talked to Elizabeth about an hour ago, and I remember something that we used to go around and say to artists who didn't see themselves as black artists. We used to propose these questions: Were you an artist first, or were you a human being, a person? If you were a person, what were you? When you became an artist, did you lose your identity? It's still going on, that controversy, and I guess that's why some artists still want to divorce themselves. I don't think you ought to go around saying, 'I'm a white artist,'or, 'I'm a black artist,' necessarily, but you can't hide the fact that
you're a black artist, and you don't have to hide the fact that you're a white artist, because in this country that's who the artists are, and that's who the citizens are. So that's still a controversy."
Compelling questions and a dialog that needs to continue in the arts today.

Reaching Goals with Confidence and Self-Reliance
Years 11 & 12 (College)
Whether in in the classroom or in the boarding school -- in the final two years of schooling we expect a high level of independence from our students. Both the Abitur and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) are organized as course systems with individualized schedules and self-reliant learning:
Self-guided, after-school studying is supported by mentors and subject teachers
Supplemental, theme-related educational activities, such as study trips, excursions, extracurricular clubs (Model United Nations, political clubs, etc.)
Enhanced by library-based multi-media study spaces
Civic education through guest lectures, evening programs and student self-governance (student parliament, academic council, study groups, Spetzgart Forum, The Spetzgart Supper Talk)
Career Counseling Office with teacher-counselors who are experts on admission to German and foreign universities
A final "Salem Report" thoroughly documenting a student's involvement in services and athletics, in political activities and creative pursuits, in elected offices and as a member of the student self-governance
Ken Lander
Head of Salem International College, Spetzgart and Härlen
Schloss Spetzgart
The Boarding School
Students in the Abitur and the IB programs attend lessons on two campuses which are separated by a 15-minute walking path: Schloss Spetzgart and the Härlen Campus. Students in Year 11 live in the Spetzgart Castle on a hill overlooking Lake Constance. In their final year at school most students live on the Härlen Campus. Student dormitories offer 2-bed rooms. The apartment of the responsible "House Tutor" is located in the same building.
Learning to Take On Responsibility
By taking on responsibilities students have a strong influence on the daily course of boarding school life. In these years they become of age and enjoy greater freedom in shaping their own everyday lives. Moreover they learn to take on more responsibility for themselves and for the community. The rules of community life result of a dynamic political process. These guidelines are developed in committees of the student self-government and revised when necessary together with the boarding school administration. Maintaining a balance of interests is thus an integral part of everyday life.
Whether music, art, handicrafts, social services, theater or sport - after-school activities begun in the Middle School can be continued at College. This is extended further with a very wide outdoor program giving each individual the opportunity to explore his or her personal limits and to master new challenges in the outdoors.
Cultural affairs are a solid fixture of boarding school life in the upper school. Various theater and musical productions, guest performances by renown artists and ensembles, or off-campus excursions to cultural events are only some of the many offerings. One long-standing tradition is the regular series of "Spetzgarter Supper Talks" (Spetzgarter Abendbrot), to which a student committee invites and hosts prominent figures of public life who give a talk and enter into dialogue with the audience of students and staff.
Every public community needs a political foundation. At Salem International College these basic principles are set out in a constitution. It provides insight into the diversified democratic structures and institutions which shape, guide and monitor community life. Students who take on offices with political functions come face to face with situations of real conflict and experience the difficulties involved in reaching decisions through compromise. In this way they learn what it means and how important it is to take on responsibility in "real" life.
The Salem Report
No community life is possible without rules. At the beginning of Year 11 each students receives the Upper School Guidelines which apply to both campuses, i.e., to Spetgzart and Härlen.
The focus of boarding school life in the Upper School is on preparing for the school-leaving diploma and the steps that will follow. Consequently the so-called "Salem Report" contains not only evidence of academic achievements, but also all the skills and knowledge acquired outside the classroom. It supplements the Abitur certificate or the IB Diploma by drawing together the key experiences by which students qualify themselves for their future professional and personal path in life.
Much more than only a school diploma
The Salem Abitur
Naturally grade marks play a decisive role at Schule Schloss Salem, too. But equally important for us, of course, is that each of our students acquires not only academic skills, but also individual and social compentencies.
Mandatory Section
Mandatory courses are taught for two semesters
Five core subjects (à Four Hours Per Week)
German, mathematics, one foreign language, a further foreign language or a science, and one elective subject
Instruction in at least five additional subjects (à two hours per week)

Social sciences (four semesters History, two semesters Geography, two semesters civics), Art or Music, Religion or Ethics, two sciences (Physics, Chemistry or Biology), Sport
Elective Section
In general elective courses are taken for two semesters.
Seminar Course (in 1st and 2nd semester)
This course covers a range of topics. Under certain conditions the course can be counted as an oral final examination and thereby be one part of the Abitur examinations.
Students select from a range of courses, which may include, for example, Literature, Philosophy, Psychology, Descriptive Geometry, Geology, Astronomy and Computer Science
Abitur examination
The Abitur examinations consist of a written and an oral section:
Four of the examination subjects must be selected at the beginning of the 2nd semester. They include German, Mathematics, a foreign language, and a fourth subject.
The oral examination is taken in a further subject which is chosen on the basis on certain criteria and decided upon at the beginning of the 3rd semester.

Point System Rather Than Traditional Grade Marks
Salem's numerical marking scale runs from 0 to 15 points.
Two experienced career counselors , Dr. Günter Klause and Dr. David Mathieson, advise students at Schule Schloss Salem regarding their future career paths. Furthermore members of the Salem network - teachers, parents, alumni, and other experts - are available to offer advice and assistance.
Career counselling begins in Year 9 and follows a clearly defined goal: each student should become aware of his or her individual skills and interests and be able to make realistic decisions regarding his or her own future endeavors.
Students are provided continual in-put at three levels in preparation for embarking on their chosen path upon leaving school:
Dr. Günter Klause
Career Councelling Abitur

Information about European Universities
Students are given general information and, whenever possible, meet with representatives of national and foreign universities who make visits to the Salem campus.
Regular individual counseling throughout school Ages ; Support in focusing on a study program or apprenticeship and in finding appropriate University ; Support in preparing university applications for German and foreign universities
Tests and Applications
PSAT Test
The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) is a standardized test offered by a U.S. organization and measures academic skills in the areas of critical reading, mathematics and writing. The test provides students in Ages 10 feedback about their performance level and familiarizes them with the SAT test format.
SAT Test
Participation in the SAT test is usually required as part of the application process for U.S. universities.
During German lessons in the IB system students receive preparation for this centrally administered test of German as a Foreign language, which is required by all German universities.
Application and Admission Procedures for all Universities
We support our students during the university application process which - especially for universities abroad - may involve very complex and demanding procedures.
There is even more to discover
Especially the Salem Services and all other extracurricular activities are a main part of the Salem boarding school education!
Building Character.
The four institutions, Outward Bound, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, the United World Colleges and Round Square are all based on the ideas of Kurt Hahn and thus have their origin in his first school, Salem.

You may have heard that we're in the "Age of Customer Experience" (CX). Thanks to digital disruption, every point that customers engage with a brand or business now has to be personal, immediate and robust.
This is equally important for B2B and B2C businesses.
While this may feel like a tall order, it's also a huge opportunity for your business. In a study on the future of the B2B customer experience by the consulting firm Walker, it's predicted that by the year 2020, CX will be the #1 factor over both price and product when it comes to determining competitive advantage.
Telepresence technology is unique in that it allows key members of your team to truly be "in person" with customers, regardless of physical location. And it can also be a buzz-worthy, innovative perk for B2C companies that want to give customers a chance to experience their corporate headquarters and culture firsthand. With so many possible points of contact with customers on and offline, adding your personal touch can make all the difference.
While Barry Malkin, CEO of the leading STEM education resource Carnegie Learning, originally began utilizing Beam to connect with his team, he soon found that the innovative technology helped him run a more engaged, efficient team and win more business to boot.
in Fort Collins, CO, CEO Dr. John Bender and staff use Beam for a variety of patient services, including "seeing" chronic care patients, overseeing fiberglass cast removals, presenting at weight loss clinics, providing buprenorphine/addiction clinic follow up, and giving instructions for kidney infection care, just to name a few. Dr. Bender also uses Beam for acute consults when he's not on-site, such as after-hours or during a Saturday clinic.
Portalarium CEO and Creative Director and video game visionary Richard Garriott works nearly full-time remotely and relies on telepresence technology to stay connected on a daily basis with his team as they continue to develop their latest release, Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues. His enthusiasm for having a "virtual body" to play in gave him the idea of giving his most rabid gaming fans a treat by inviting them to "visit" Portalarium's Austin headquarters.
CX is defined by the quality of interactions between a customer and an organization throughout their business relationship. In our digital age, the most forward-thinking companies seek out fresh ways to support connection, cultivation and superlative customer service at every point of contact. Telepresence technology provides a cost-effective way to make a positive impact on customer loyalty and higher retention and ultimately, revenues.
While premier cloud computing and platform visualization software provider VMWare initially used Beam to connect its internal team, its company leaders soon found that it was also a powerful way to also increase engagement between external community members from their 500,000+ international customer base and the company.
For example, VMware's invites global advocacy experts to "Beam in" and participate in podcasted community roundtables of over 10,000 online listeners. And at its annual VMworld conference, they have deployed several Beams to provide community members the chance to experience the event at no cost – a smart and cost-effective way to increase brand awareness and loyalty.
For Greg Samuels, owner and CEO of Richmond, VA-based IT consulting firm, Solvaria, attending face-to-face meetings is an important part of his business. For his biggest consulting clients, he's placed Beams at their companies for ongoing, "in-person" customer service.
Now, not only can he and his team members literally be in two places at once, but it's also saved his company significant time and budget on travel.

← By Special Holiday Request: the History of Tolkien's Elves (part XVII, the end)
Primary Sources: Herodotus, EUTERPE part 2 →
Primary Sources: Herodotus, EUTERPE part 1
Primary Sources Posted on January 7, 2015 by jeffwik January 6, 2015
In which babies are abandoned, for science!
So a quick recap of CLIO would go like this. First there was a guy named Croesus the Lydian, who spent a fabulous fortune, invaded Persia, and was captured by the lord of Persia, Cyrus. Cyrus kept Croesus on as an advisor, and they went on a couple of military campaigns, and eventually Cyrus was killed and Croesus was sent to be the advisor of Cyrus's son and heir, Cambyses. That brings us to the present. Herodotus has plenty to say about Cambyses, hoo boy. His mother, Cassandane the daughter of Pharnaspes, had died well before Cyrus's death, and it was at her funeral that a bereaving Cyrus declared Cambyses his heir. Cambyses's first act, as head of the Persian empire, was to invade Egypt, and this is the part where Herodotus totally loses track of the narrative thread, not for the first or last time, because Eygpt is awesome you guys!!
You don't even know how great Egypt is! You think you do, but you don't. First off, Egyptian culture is the oldest culture. There's two Egyptians in particular Herodotus wants to bring to our attention. First, Psammetichos, the pharaoh who invented a bunch of stuff. Second, Min, the king who invented the concept of kings in general and pharaohs named Min in particular. Min was the first king; that's his claim to fame.
When Psammetichos became king of the Egyptians, he surveyed all the Eygptian scholars and the scholars of other, lesser nations, in hopes of proving that Egypt was the oldest nation. Or, failing that, proving that it was the second-oldest and the Phrygians were the oldest. Don't ask about the Phrygians, you don't even want to know. Midas, the golden touch guy? Phrygian. Gordias, the knot guy? Phrygian.
So Psammetichos figured either the Phrygians or the Egyptians were the oldest race, and he proved which it was with science!
PSAMMETICHOS'S SCIENCE EXPERIMENT: A LAB REPORT
Hyptothesis: a baby raised in isolation will speak the language which comes naturally to humanity, which is the language of our oldest culture.
Introduction: For many ages scientists have wondered which came first, the Eygptian or the Phyrgian. Now science can show us the truth, with babies.
Materials: Two babies; herd of goats; goat-herder; several women; a sharp knife.
Methods: The women had their tongues cut out. The two babies were placed among the goats and entrusted to the goat-herder and the women. The goat-herder was forbidden from speaking in the presence of the babies. The babies were fed goat milk by she-goats from the herd and cared for by the women.
Results: The babies grew up not speaking any language. After two years one of the babies said "bekos" at mealtime, and said it again persistently.
Discussion and Conclusion: Bekos is the Phrygian word for bread. Therefore the Phrygian language is the language which comes naturally to babies raised in isolation, which means Phrygians must possess the oldest culture.
In addition to their awesome science experiments, Herodotus says, the Egyptians invented months. They were better at calendars than the Greeks, you can tell, because their calendar had twelve months of thirty days each, plus five intercalated days (12×30+5=365 days); the Greek calendar was all screwy and they had to throw in a Leap Month every other year (12x28x2+46=730 days, maybe?). Egyptians invented a whole pile of stuff. Altars, for instance, and engraving. They didn't invent the gods, that would be crazy to think that, but they did determine what the gods looked like. Then they made altars and engraved images of the gods on them. See? It all hangs together.
They also colonized the Nile river delta, which once upon a time was just open water, but gradually sediment filled in the whole Cairo-to-the-Mediterranean portion of the country. Herodotus totally buys this sedimentary deposits thing, citing personal experience trying to sail to Egypt and discovering how shallow the water is there, even a full day's sail out from land.

The Baltics Are Waking Up! is a trilingual Baltic song composed for the occasion of the Baltic Way, a large demonstration against the Soviet Union and for independence of the Baltic States in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The song is sometimes called the 'general anthem of the Baltics'.
Tās nespēks un nogurums māc.
Trīs tautu gods un prāts.

Of honour and sense of three nations.
And the sea starts to wave.
Come to stand for theirselves.
To defend the honour of theirs.

Trys Milijonai ("Three Million") is popularly regarded in Lithuania as the sports' anthem and the unofficial Lithuanian Olympic team anthem. In August 2000, this popular song accompanied the sporting events broadcasts from the Sydney Olympics, both on radio and on television.
Ir kartais per tyliai mes norėjom nugalėt.
Kaip atsigauna žolė po gero lietaus.
Tik per klaidą netapom mes čempionais.
Bet geriau negyvent negu visai netikėt (jė).
Net jei žaidi tik šachmatais arba dartais.
Ir jauti, jog kažkas tave saugo.
Ir mes galingi iš naujo (jaho, jaho, jaho).
No one will throw a rock at them.
How grass does after a good rain.
Just because of a mistake we didn't become the champions.
And a thousand of times he was right, but.
But it's better to die than not to believe at all (Yea-yea).
Nine times in a row.
Who lose even if they're not beaten yet.
Even if you play only with chess or darts.
And feel that someone is guarding you.
And we're powerful again (Yea-yea, yea-yea, yea-yea).

Can a Company Be a Messy Bitch? Whitefish Stopped Work in Puerto Rico Over $83,000,000 It's Apparently Owed

It's been two months since the people of Puerto Rico have had fully functioning power. However, Whitefish Energy Holdings, the small Montana firm that was supposed to be helping restore electricity to the island's devastated power grid, has now decided to stop all work because Puerto Rico's government has not paid crews as part of its contract.
You know, that same contract that sprouted accusations that the energy company has been billing Puerto Rico more than seven times what it actually paid the crews it's so worried about, and which has led to a whole heap of controversy, including an FBI investigation?
According to the Associated Press, the company (which some may call Scamfish) released a statement saying that invoices for the work done in October are outstanding and it cannot continue doing its work. The newswire obtained a letter dated Nov. 19, which claimed that Puerto Rico's government owes the company more than $83 million and that the company would suspend work Monday if it wasn't paid.
Whitefish in its letter claimed that the lack of payment is a breach of the $300 million contract that the company had with the government. You know, the same contract Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello canceled last month? However, although the contract was canceled, both the company and the government had agreed that Whitefish would finish up the projects it had already started and remain on the island until Nov. 30.
"There is no basis for PREPA [the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority] to withhold payments from Whitefish Energy," the letter read. "We have met the terms of the contract—including completing difficult work on time and under challenging conditions."
Puerto Rico, for its part, released its own statement saying that PREPA is reviewing and auditing Whitefish invoices, noting that the power authority was forced to stop pending payments "until the situation with Whitefish subcontractor is clarified."
While Whitefish and Puerto Rico are still working out their issues, the people of Puerto Rico are still without any power.
From AP:
More than 20 of Puerto Rico's 78 municipalities remain in the dark, and overall power generation stands below 50 percent. Major blackouts also have hit the capital of San Juan and surrounding areas in recent weeks, for reasons ranging from overgrown vegetation to fuel not being supplied in time because of logistical limitations.
The hurricane hit as Puerto Rico entered its 11th year in recession and struggles to restructure a portion of its $73 billion public debt load. The power company holds about $9 billion of that debt.

FUTURE WAYS OF WORKING PROGRAMME
Modernising ways of working for London Borough of Haringey
James Windsor
jwindsor@innercircleconsulting.co.uk
Accommodation Strategy compiled
Deliver a gradual reduction in office accommodation over a 5 year period
Consolidation of council offices into a new single site.
To create revenue savings through the consolidation of council offices. And facilitating changes in process and technology to create a future way of working, enabling services to deliver work remotely and reduce the requirement of office space.
James Windsor ran a series of workshops to understand the size, shape and function of the council in 2021 to ensure that the new office would be fit for purpose.
In addition to this, he led on the property aspects of the programme and compiled an accommodation strategy. Over a 5 year period, this would deliver a gradual reduction in office accommodation as new technology and processes would be rolled out and staff would start to embrace a more flexible and modern way of working.
To inform the costs of the business case, he also led on a financial viability study for the new office and initial site assessments. This work was undertaken in line with the wider Wood Green Regeneration programme and the Area Action Plan, to ensure that the location and site density was in harmony with local planning policy.
It resulted in the realisation of significant revenue savings through the consolidation of council offices into a new single site, which is fit for purpose, future proofed and cost effective.

Ron Goldman's sister on OJ Simpson: "I hate him...and I wish nothing good."
Amidst news revealing that OJ Simpson has been granted parole, on Wednesday evening Piers Morgan invited Kim Goldman to share her uniquely personal view on the man she believes murdered her brother, Ron Goldman.
"Those women have a long road ahead of them but it sounds like they are surrounded by a lot of love and support and resources," Goldman noted. "They will forever be connected with Ariel Castro and as many times as he gets brought up in the news it will be a reminder to them and I hope they find comfort in knowing the country is supporting them."
"Oh, you'd have to bleep me for the next 45 minutes," exclaimed Goldman, when asked what she might have said in a statement of her own following her brother's death. "We wrote a book, our family, a hand full of years ago... Each of us wrote what we would have said in a victim impact statement, had we been given the choice. He destroyed our life and my brother's future and the hopes and dreams he was entitled to. That changed the landscape of our family. I resent him for that. I hate him for that and I wish nothing good."
As for the future of a free Simpson?
"If he is granted parole, I hope he lays low and I hope he stops committing crimes," she told Morgan. "But if he does, I hope they lock him back up."
Geroge Zimmerman: Speeding and carrying. What are his gun rights?
"I don't feel comfortable about George Zimmerman wandering around aimlessly in his car with a loaded firearm. Sorry, I don't," stated Morgan.
"Neither do I," noted Lamont Hill. "But the truth is, he's entitled to it, number one. Number two, he didn't do anything wrong."
"Is he entitled to it?" Morgan inquired further.
"By law he is," Lamont hill explained. "If anyone might need self-defense, you could make the case it's George Zimmerman. Everybody hates him because he killed Trayvon Martin. But he was found not guilty and he's entitled to that firearm."
"I agree with Mark," Soltis chimed in. "If anybody wants protection right now, his family says he's been receiving death threats. It was in the glove compartment. It's not like he was out looking for trouble. I think George Zimmerman wants to stay off the radar as much as possible."
"He's not doing very well, is he," the host quipped.
Well, of course they would, perversion has no conscience.
Justice is an empty word.
Samuel Sheinbein is safly living in Isreal after killing an American from Maryland.
Zinnemann is his own worst enemy. Send him to Fox Tv they will protect.
Zimmerman was found "not guilty" so why should the tabloid thinking Morgan question Zimmerman's rights in owning and legally carrying a gun ??...That's none of Morgan's business and it doesn't ,matter what Morgan feels is right or wrong about Zimmerman rights...Morgan should comment about the affairs in the UK...where he belongs, and the sooner the better.
do not understand jury's decision ..
the zimmerman decision was a slam dunk self defense.... Trayvon was at his Dads doorstep, refused to go in, then the fight happened 100 yards away and 2 minutes later... an eyewitness saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman ground and pounding him... aggravated battery..... which is explicitly grounds for deadly force in all 50 states.
As much disdain people have for Zimmerman, he does have the right to bear arms and he was found not guilty. Just can't argue this one. Sorry Morgan.


The term "piracy" inevitably conjures up ambivalent feelings. It also reflects changes, conflicts and contradictions in contemporary society. This anthology of texts finally breaks the classic "cops and robbers" debate loop, which considers piracy either as a disaster or as an opportunity, gathering a number of original approaches. Here piracy is considered from several different cultural perspectives, dealing with structures of power and transformation as well as looking at everyday practices. The editors state: "for every new development in capitalist technologies, some sort of piracy moment emerges". For example the social implications of BitTorrent are even more important than its economic ones and its "constellation" (as the authors define it) creates "leakages." The definition of leakages is one the most intriguing (and core) concepts explored here. They are materialised in various practices, and the supporters of Pirate Bay (which is discussed in several essays), for example, are acknowledged to consider file-sharing as a defence of the commons against scarcity and enclosure. File-sharers are also analysed and a suggestive parallel is drawn between their norms and the very same copyright ideology discussed elsewhere. But the book also investigates other fields like bio-piracy, as well as recognising the high quality of technical innovation introduced by "pirates." This work has also been the starting point for a research network, connected through a public web platform (PiracyLab) where the research is updated and further discussed.
