As great as Maven is, it does make things a bit more complicated, including how you develop projects in different IDEs. If Maven is supposed to make building projects easier (among other things), but you can't use it in conjunction with an IDE, then what's the point? You shouldn't have to compromise between the two.
There are a few Maven Eclipse plugins to help you work with tools like Maven (like m2eclipse, Eclipse IAM), but I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of the ones I've used. Personally, I think a hybrid between using Maven on the command line and Eclipse is the most productive way.
To set up Maven with Eclipse, there are a few configurations you need to set. Just follow these instructions and you'll be good to go.
In the command line, navigate to the directory containing your existing POM file (or start a new Maven project and navigate to that directory).
Running this command will download and run the Maven-Eclipse plugin and create files for a new Eclipse project that are tailored for the given Maven project.
Back in Eclipse, select File->Import, then General->Existing Projects into Workspace. Browse to the directory containing your project from above and click Ok.
Your project should show up in the Projects field of the Import dialog. If you see the right project there, click Finish, and your project is now ready for development in Eclipse!
Note: Keep in mind that whenever you add a new dependency to your Maven POM file, you need to re-run the same mvn eclipse:eclipse command to update the .project Eclipse file, and then refresh your project within Eclipse. This will update your list of dependencies so Eclipse knows what to include during compile-time.
Have any questions? Think you have a better setup? Let us know in the comments!

The Indian Arts and Crafts Board
The Indian Arts and Crafts Board (IACB), an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior, was created by Congress in 1935 to promote the economic development of American Indians and Alaska Natives (Indians) through the expansion of the Indian art and craft (art) market. The IACB operates three regional museums, conducts a promotional museum exhibition program, and produces a "Source Directory of American Indian and Alaska Native Owned and Operated Arts and Crafts Businesses."
Additionally, the IACB publishes informative consumer education publications which are available from www.doi.gov/iacb. A top priority of the IACB is the implementation and enforcement of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act (Act) of 1990, as amended.

Indian Art and Craftwork: Quillwork,
Beadwork, and Painting
Since time immemorial, Indians have produced diverse forms of art in a variety of media. From utilitarian items to ceremonial objects, these works were created with great care and reveal linkages to deeply rooted cultural traditions and personal experiences that guided their production and use. Although there are many Indian art practices, this exhibition focuses on quillwork, beadwork, and painting. Quillwork is an art form unique to Indians. It was practiced for hundreds of years before the arrival of Euro-Americans on the Great Plains. During the 18th and 19th centuries, quilling arts reached their highest level of development. Quillwork was used to decorate shirts, moccasins, and jewelry, among other objects of material culture. This distinctive practice has endured over the centuries to become one of the most recognizable art forms of the Great Plains today.

Quillwork: Historic Period
The abundant population of porcupines in the upper Midwest and Great Plains regions gave rise to a variety of quillwork techniques. Quills were dyed with mineral or vegetable dyes then worked into personalized designs. Prior to the 20th century, only women made decorative quillwork. Designs belonged to the woman who created them. The art form was thought to be sacred. Quillwork is very tedious and time consuming, and each quill must be attached to the background with a small stitch. With the arrival of glass beads in the Americas quillwork became less common. Indian artists readily adopted European glass beads because of their ease of use. Fortunately, some artists kept the quillwork tradition alive, resulting in an artistic revival in the 20th century.
"Kiowa Chief Twohatchet" (1986) by Marcus Amerman (Choctaw), Southern Plains Indian Museum (A.84.10.1)Indian Arts and Crafts Board (IACB), U.S. Department of the Interior
Beadwork: An Introduction
One of the best known art forms practiced by Indians is beadwork. Before the arrival of Europeans, they used stone or wood tools to create beads from natural materials, such as bone and shell. The construction of beads was a long and difficult process. Before the introduction of metal tools, most of the beads made by Indians were relatively large and worn strung on necklaces or attached individually to garments. It was not until the arrival of trade beads from Europe that Indians could obtain smaller beads in sufficient quantities to make the beaded designs we know today.

Leggings (1900) by unknown (Lakota), Sioux Indian Museum (R.301)Indian Arts and Crafts Board (IACB), U.S. Department of the Interior
Beadwork: Historic Period
Beads were one of the earliest European trade goods brought to the Americas. Spaniards were trading beads to Indians in New Mexico by the middle of the 16th century. Beads were made available through trading posts, but Indians soon spread trade beads far and wide through their own exchange networks. Eventually, they could be found in the most remote parts of the United States. The use of European beads to decorate clothing and other objects was a development of an existing artistic tradition among Indians. To a large degree, European beads replaced quillwork in these artistic traditions.

Tools such as horn scrapers and bone awls were used to prepare animal skins for beadworking. Scrapers were used to remove the hair and flesh from hides that would be decorated with beadwork. Awls were used to make holes in the hide that the beadwork was stitched through. Scraper (Lakota). Elk horn, iron, rawhide; ca. 1900; Sioux Indian Museum (R.69.2.38). Awl (Lakota).

Facebook sign licensing deals with major rights-holders Kobalt, GMR, and SESAC
Facebook are fixing their issues with music copyrights one step at a time and some big new licensing deals mark a big step.
Facebook have faced criticism for the rife infringement of music copyrights on the world's biggest social media platform. They've recently been signing deals with the major labels, Universal and Sony/ATV are now pinned, in an attempt to resolve their issues at last, and new deals with major rights-holders mark their next step towards taking music seriously and not undercutting artists.
Earlier this week Facebook revealed that they had finalised a deal with Global Music Rights (GMR), Irving Azoff's US Performing Rights Organisation. This is the first-ever user generated content deal for GMR who represents writers and performers like Pharrell, Drake, Bruno Mars, Bruce Springsteen, and more. Irving Azoff said: "Our partnership with Facebook reflects that when music is valued properly, it's easy for both sides to view it as a win-win."
As well as GMR Facebook signed deals with Kobalt Music Publishing and SESAC's HFA/Rumblefish this week. The head of Commercial Music Publishing Partnerships at Facebook, Scott Sellwood said: "Facebook and SESAC's HFA/Rumblefish are excited to offer the vibrant independent publishing community the opportunity to participate in a new licensing program with Facebook. The program will enable users to upload and share videos with music on Facebook, Instagram and Oculus and allows publishers to be compensated for the use of their music."
NMPA President & CEO David Israelite adds, "This new partnership between Facebook and the music publishing industry is a great step forward for the platform and for songwriters. Music provides value to Facebook and its users and ensuring that the creators of that music are compensated is paramount. We appreciate Facebook's willingness to recognise the economic contribution of songwriters as well as its effort to create a system that properly streamlines payments moving forward. Other digital services should take note and follow suit."
It seems that Facebook are taking music licensing fully seriously now and with all of their new deals we could soon see music on Facebook, but legitimately. This means artists, writers and rights-holders will finally be paid for uses of their music, creations, and copyrights on the social media giant.

There is good and bad here. The Good: The location was great! Took Midway Orange Line train approx 15 mins to get here. Train station was about two blocks away. So convenient. Hotel itself is at the end of Grant Park. About 1/2 mile from Art Institute, could easily walk but the bus going down Michigan Ave was very convenient and easy to use. Lots of good restaurants nearby. The staff at the hotel was amazing. Very nice, gave great restaurant recs that we actually ate at, were close by and were delicious!! The hotel gave us several pillows to accommodate my husband's shoulder that had to be propped up because of surgery. Very friendly. The bad: The hotel room was right next to the elevator. Over all the hotel was not overly loud but there was construction in the building right next door. Luckily we were always tired from touring the city it didn't make much of a difference during the early morning. The beds were small. they were not Queen or King, they were double. Maybe if the shoulder surgery thing was not an issue we may have been more comfortable but the bed was too small to be able to sleep and turn comfortably. The shower/tub got clogged.....twice. They were very apologetic and quick to send a service person to drain and fix it but again...twice? And no offer of discount or breakfast voucher (I don't think they offer breakfast there)? Very disappointing. Over all for the price I would recommend if you are needing a cheaper(value) stay.
The Best Western Grant Park is conveniently located for access to the Field Museum and the elevated train. We were cautioned by taxi drivers not to stroll the neighborhood after dark. There is a hotel restaurant, but we ate breakfast around the corner at Yolk, which was excellent. The hotel suffered damage due to the recent Polar Vortex. The room we were in had small signs of water damage that had been repaired. Part of the lobby was draped in plastic, which looked tacky but did not interfere with service or amenities. Service was excellent, staff was very friendly. My only complaint was that the bed in our room was awful, very worn so you slept on a slope or rolled to the middle.
The customer service was excellent, but the building needs several upgrades. There were several areas that were covered in sheets of plastic and in disrepair. The vending machines were missing, even the phones needed upgrading. Hitting the guest services button led to a constant busy signal. Relatively clean, but very much in need of updating.
Our check in lady was wonderful, very helpful and nice. Nothing besides internet included kind of sucked, also the beds where very hard and uncomfortable and the pillows where so small, bathroom was clean but so cramped.
The room was a bit small, not meant for two full size beds... But the staff was great, another great stay.

Q: Speeding up persist/save in Hibernate/JPA I have a backend application in Spring/Java/Hibernate/Java/MySQL and I am using SessionFactory. I have a table/entity class with multiple parent-child relationships, I call parentDao.persist(object) to save, the operation takes a long time to complete, the object contains multiple child objects also, so parent/child is persisted on that call.
My table/entity is:
EventEntity
private Integer id;
private String entityId;
private String eventTitle;
private UserEntity organizer;
private BusinessEntity business;
private LocationEntity location;
//child objects
private List<EventsUserEntity> eventsUsers;
private List<FilterMappingEntity> filterMapping;
private List<EventMediaMapEntity> mediaMaps;
@OneToMany(mappedBy="event",fetch=FetchType.LAZY,cascade={CascadeType.PERSIST,CascadeType.MERGE},orphanRemoval=true)
public List<EventMediaMapEntity> getMediaMaps() {
return mediaMaps;}
@OneToMany(mappedBy="event",fetch=FetchType.LAZY,cascade= {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE})
public List<FilterMappingEntity> getFilterMapping() {
return filterMapping;}
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "event", cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST,fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
public List<EventsUserEntity> getEventsUsers() {
return eventsUsers;
}
@ManyToOne(cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
public UserEntity getOrganizer() {
return organizer;
}
@OneToOne(cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE}, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
public LocationEntity getLocation() {
return location;
}
@ManyToOne(cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
public BusinessEntity getBusiness() {
return business;
}

The child classes are populated during the service call and persisted by parent DAO. And all other foreign key objects are persistence object(i.e.objects retrieved from db) except Location object which is persisted along with Event object.
But when I persist Event entity, its takes a long time sometimes about 1min.
Please suggest me about speeding up the persisting operation.

Open Offer to be made as soon as practicable to all Qualifying Shareholders to raise up to a further £2.06m (gross) by the issue of up to 15,227,843 shares at 13.5p per share.
Egdon is pleased to announce a Subscription to raise gross proceeds of approximately £3m (the "Subscription") and a proposed Open Offer of up to £2.06m (the "Open Offer"), (together the "Fundraising").
The Subscription has been undertaken with an existing shareholder, HEYCO International.
The Directors have given consideration as to the best way to structure the proposed equity fundraising, taking into account current market conditions, the composition of the Company's shareholder register and the Board's desire to give shareholders the opportunity to limit dilution where practicable.
The Directors have concluded that the structure of the fundraising by way of the Subscription and Open Offer is the most suitable option available to the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Open Offer will provide an opportunity for all Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the fundraising by acquiring Open Offer Shares pro rata to their current holdings of Existing Ordinary Shares with the option to apply to subscribe for more Open Offer Shares pursuant to an excess application facility (the "Excess Application Facility"). The Subscription is not conditional upon the Open Offer taking place. Further details of the Open Offer are set out below and will be in the Open Offer Circular, which will be sent to shareholders as soon as practicable.
VSA Capital Limited ("VSA") is acting as Financial Adviser and Joint Broker to the Company in connection with the Subscription and Open Offer and Cantor Fitzgerald Europe Limited ("Cantor Fitzgerald") is acting as Nominated Adviser and Joint Broker.
The Company has entered into an agreement with HEYCO International to issue 22,222,222 new Ordinary Shares at an issue price of 13.5p per Ordinary Share (the "Subscription Price"), by means of a Subscription.

In order to provide Qualifying Shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the Fundraising, the Company is proposing to launch a 1 for 16 Open Offer of up to 15,227,843 Open Offer Shares at an issue price of 13.5p per Ordinary share, being the same price as the Subscription Price.
The timing for the Open Offer will be notified in due course and will be set out in the Open Offer Circular to all shareholders, which will be sent to Qualifying Shareholders as soon as practicable and will be available on the Company's website www.egdon-resources.com from the date this is issued.
In the event that the Open Offer is not fully subscribed by Qualifying Shareholders, VSA and Cantor Fitzgerald will have the ability to place any remaining shares with other investors.
The Open Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares will, upon issue, rank pari passu with the Company's Existing Ordinary Shares.
Following the issue of the Subscription Shares the enlarged ordinary share capital of the Company will be 243,645,490 Ordinary Shares. Following the issue of the Open Offer Shares (assuming full take-up under the Open Offer including the Excess Application Facility), the enlarged ordinary share capital of the Company will be 258,873,333 Ordinary Shares.
HEYCO International is currently interested in 9,388,346 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 4.24% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. HEYCO International has agreed to subscribe for 22,222,222 Subscription Shares and therefore, following the Subscription, HEYCO International will be interested in 31,610,568 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 12.97% of the Company's issued share capital as enlarged by the Subscription.


In a somewhat puzzling move, Nintendo said it would stop selling the Nintendo Classic in North America this month, despite unprecedented demand for the mini console.
Demand for the device has been extraordinarily high since Nintendo announced the $60 console in November. Retailers such as Walmart and Amazon had problems keeping the console in stock.
The device can still be bought from third-party sellers on Amazon and eBay, but for a considerable markup.
In March, Nintendo said it had sold 1.5 million units of the console, which contained 30 old games such as "Super Mario Bros.," "Super Mario Bros. 3," "Donkey Kong" and a host of others.
One reason for Nintendo potentially discontinuing the NES Classic Edition is to not draw away attention from its exceedingly popular Switch console, which launched in early March to exceedingly high fanfare, despite the untraditional launch date.
On Friday, research firm NPD Group and Nintendo announced that more than 906,000 Switch consoles had been sold in North America alone, making it Nintendo's best launch in North America ever.
Shares of Nintendo jumped 2.1 percent in Japan following the news, outpacing the Nikkei 225 which fell 0.49 percent on back of geopolitical fears and a stronger yen.
Nintendo also said that more than 1.3 million copies of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," were sold, including 925,000 copies for the Switch, indicating an attach rate of over 100% for the highly rated game.
The popularity of the current Switch notwithstanding, some on Wall Street expect Nintendo to release a smaller, more portable version of the hybrid-console to make it more kid friendly.


Does Clenbuterol deliver internationally? Yes, Clenbuterol ship worldwide including Carmona, Spain. They offers free shipping to some countries.
Are you Trying to Find Clenbuterol in Carmona? Why Not to Get Online from This Website?
Clenbuterol is generally used by professional athletes, alone in a Clenbuterol only cycle. It might be utilized in conjunction with anabolic androgenic steroids and performance enhancing drugs for decreasing body fat and promoting the development of skeletal muscle. It is extensively believed that Clenbuterol has the ability to increase muscle mass by enhancing protein synthesis. Clen is among the very best cutting cycle drugs to increase the core temperature and metabolic process of the body that proves advantageous in burning of calories.
A few of us have a lot of muscle, but this muscle is simply clouded out by all of the fat that surrounds it. Previously, powerful however eventually dangerous drugs such as Clenbuterol were the answer. Now, it appears like we may have a more natural option on our hands, with Clenbutrol (Clenbuterol) having the ability to imitate the results of the above but without any unfavorable impacts.
Clenbutrol is one of the best product on the Clenbuterol Ambroxol markets today and it already has actually managed to show its efficiency. Where can I purchase Clenbutrol in Carmona? You can purchase Clenbutrol Clenbuterol online from the main site. You can position an order from numerous parts of the world including Carmona.
Why You Should Buy Clen Online from Carmona?
Purchasing Clen online is the most useful thing to do, and not just for selection, or perhaps to obtain a better rate. You can constantly make more cash, it is not finite. What is finite is just how much time you have. You can't make more time. By buying your Clen online, you will conserve time, loan, and get higher quality Clen to you than you could ever discover anywhere else. Why buy an inferior item because some shop down the road offers it? It just doesn't make good sense anymore, when many options are offered, only a few clicks away.
Are There Any Clenbuterol for Sale in Carmona?
Clenbutrol from CrazyBulk has actually been a large success around the world as well as seems to be very popular in Carmona particularly. However online searches do not raise any kind of outcomes concerning distributors based in Carmona or specialist company offered for this supply. Indeed, any sort of search engine results page that do show up are frequently dead web links or link back to the very same web page under different names.
If you have chosen that you are going to buy a Clen, I would suggest you purchase from the main supplier. Personally, I have actually done just that, and have actually found the purchasing procedure safe, well-informed and with a great level of customer care.
I am sure there are a great deal of people who choose to keep their Clenbuterol Ambroxol products to themselves. It's not generally something you speak about with everyone. The main provider has a full privacy disclosure meaning, your personal payment and identity details are not shown everybody.
Client service is fantastic. If you have any issues with your Clenbutrol, simply email them initially. I got a reaction in hours. You can constantly get in touch with the numbers provided.
Are there any advantages to Clen utilize other than fat loss?
Clen is often used to deal with asthma and if that's the case, it should make it simpler to breath. I had asthma as a kid and I did discover an increase in my endurance. I didn't breath heavy at all, and this is why some expert cyclists and runners take Clen before races. It helps them get more oxygen and they don't tire as rapidly in a race.
You're heart rate will be extremely high at large doses, so stay away from truly intense cardio.Even though I have not personally become aware of somebody getting a heart attack from Clen, it is definitely possible if you press yourself too far.
If you buy it online or from somebody in your fitness center, you might never ever understand. However one clear way to inform if it's real, is from the side effects you experience. If you have legit Clenbuterol you have to take your temperature. Before you begin a Clen cycle, take your temperature in the morning and then while you're on Clen take it again.
If it's the genuine offer you will see a small increase in body temperature level. You must also experience hand shakes and really fast heart beat. Some of you won't experience these effects on low dosages, so up the dose and see what occurs. If none of these things happen even if you're on doses of 80-100mcg, then obviously you got beat.

In May 2012 it was revealed that Eishken Estate owner Nicholas Oppenheim investigating a further extension to the windfarm on the Eishken estate under the name Uisinis Power. This time to the south and east of Loch Sealg with current documentation discussing up to 30 turbines. He previoulsy announced that he had been successful in selling the rights to the previously consented Muaitheabhal Windfarm and Muaitheabhal East Extension to International Power part of French global company GDF-Suez.
28th December 2010: The Scottish Government issued a press release announcing that it had approved the 6 turbine, 21MW extension to the Muaitheabhal Windfarm (118MW, 33 turbines see below). The proposed extension turbines will be 150m high to blade tip, some of the largest onshore turbines proposed in the UK.
14 January 2010: The Scottish Government announced that it had given planing consent for 33 turbines to be built on the Eishken Estate. These are the turbines that were proposed in the last application by Beinn Mor and Crionaig Power in August 2009.
A new application for the Muaitheabhal Windfarm, on the Eishken Estate, Isle of Lewis, is to be submitted on Thursday. This will be the fourth incarnation of the controversial project located in one of the Europe's densest Golden Eagle populations. Moorland without Turbines are raising serious questions with regard to democracy and the planning system, as the results of a Public Local Inquiry, held last year into the previous, 53-turbine version of the windfarm, have still not been been published by the Scottish Government.
• Eishken Estate is owned by hedge fund manager Nicholas Oppenheim, (http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/specials/rich_list/rich_list_2009/article6153229.ece).
His first planning application for a 133 turbine windfarm on the estate was submitted in 2004.
A revised application was submitted for 53 turbines in 2006 when it was revealed that the larger proposal could bcome one of the most destructive windfarms known potentially killing Golden eagles and rare White-tailed sea eagles every few weeks. The windfarm also encroached upon the South Lewis, Harris, and North Uist National Scenic Area. Both planning applications were submitted to the Scottish government for determination due to their size.
With the two larger scheme still in the government planning system Beinn Mhor Power Ltd submitted an application for a smaller 16 turbine subset of the larger scheme to the Local Authority Comhairle nan Eilean Siar in 2007. The authority have maintained a strong commitment to large onshore windfarms despite massive community opposition and approved planning permission to 13 of the 16 turbines in 2008.
• The 53 turbine application was referred to a public inquiry in 2007 due to the potential adverse impact on the National Scenic Area (NSA). Presided over by Reporter Ms Janet Mcnair, a key point was whether any adverse landscape impacts to the NSA were overridden by social or economic benefits of national importance. It was anticipated that the Reporters findings would be published in autumn 2008.
• At the public Inquiry witnesses supporting Beinn Mhor Power Ltd included Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, trustees of the Muaitheabhal Windfarm Community Trust, and the Erisort Trust. Those giving evidence against included Scottish Natural Heritage, the John Muir Trust, North Harris Trust and Moorland without Turbines. A number of individuals also participated on both sides.
• The windfarm received considerable publicity over claims that a percentage of the windfarm would be available for community ownership, the largest of its kind in the UK. In the original application this amounted to 33 of the 133 turbines, however Beinn Mhor Power only ever secured a grid connection for their own turbines (300 megawatts) making it unlikely that the community component would proceed. In the revised 53 turbine application this was reduced to 6 turbines. At the Public Inquiry it was admitted that the community would have to raise in the region of £21 million to fund their component.
• The Eishken Estate is designated as an Important Bird Area (UK244) for its Golden Eagle population, having one of the highest breeding densities in the EU. Along with the neighbouring Pairc Estate, the area is also one of the UK's top spots for the rare White-tailed sea eagle. RSPB have maintained objections to the proposals throughout.
• In addition the Eishken mountain range forms the horizon known as the 'sleeping beauty' or Cailleach na Mointeach. It is along this horizon that the moon travels during the 18-year lunar cycle. Many argue that this phenomenon is behind the construction of the ancient and world famous Callanish Stones.
The 53-turbine layout referred to a Public Local Inquiry in 2008.
The Public Inquiry will commence on 13 May 2008, and be held in the Garry Room at the Caladh Inn, James Street Stornoway.
In 2004 Beinn Mhor Power Ltd initially applied to build a 133 turbine 399MW windfarm on the Eishken Estate, in the south east of the Pairc Peninsula. The company proposed to construct turbines within the South Lewis, Harris and North Uist National Scenic Area (NSA) and the estate coincides with the boundaries of the Park Important Bird Area (UK244) which holds one of the highest densities of Golden Eagles in Europe. In common with other windfarm sites on the island, the area is dominated by peatland habitats including active blanket bog and Atlantic wet heath (both protected under Annex I of the EU Habitats Directive).
Almost a year after the application was submitted it was discovered that there had been a serious error in the collision mortality estimates for both Golden Eagle and White-tailed Sea Eagle. The corrected estimates revealed that the windfarm could kill a Golden eagle every 3 to 6 weeks through collision with turbines. For White-tailed sea eagles collision mortality was estimated at an eagle every 8 to 15 weeks. Other protected species on the site include Red and Black-throated Divers, Merlin, Golden Plover and Dunlin.
In 2006 Beinn Mhor Power submitted a revised application for 53 turbines. This new proposal effectively split the development with turbines proposed on Feiriosbhal in the north east of the estate, and a large group in the south west, on the shores of Loch Seaforth - with approximately 30 turbines proposed within the NSA.
RSPB have maintained an objection to the proposal on ornithological grounds and Scottish Natural Heritage, the statutory body for landscape and conservation in Scotland have objected that the windfarm will have a significantly damaging effect on the National Scenic Area.
In August 2007 it was announced that the application had been referrred to a Public Local Inquiry by the Scottish Executive. However later in the year Beinn Mhor Power submitted a third revision for a 16 turbine subset, to be considered concurrently with the 53 turbine application. Falling under the 50MW threshold, this application was made to the Local Authority, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar who had previously recommeded approval of the larger schemes. Unsuprisingly the Council decided to approve the application in early 2008, albeit with 3 turbines removed on grounds of visual impact.
133 wind turbines on the Eisgein Estate, each 125 m high, covering an area of 78.3km©˜ (bringing the turbines in planning for Lewis to 381). Turbines will be sited across the summits and flanks of the Eisgein hills. Every turbine will have a foundation and hard standing area 45m x 65m (approx. half the size of a football pitch) cut out of the hillside. There will be 77km of roads wide enough for heavy plant, 22 quarries and 10 construction/batching compounds.
Tourism is our second largest employer and is estimated to be worth £40-£60 million per annum. Few businesses do not benefit from the economic boost of visitor spend. If these proposals go ahead, the Western Isles could face significant job losses, for which windfarm jobs would not compensate. Tower manufacture at Arnish is only a possibility, and according to the Eisgein ES, "…turbine components (tower sections, blades, hubs, nacelle units) will be delivered to Arnish by sea." (para 12.22).
Pylon lines will be required to connect windfarms to the interconnector, required to take power to the mainland. In recent consultations the Stornoway Gazette reported CnES as having a preference for 400kv lines (probably 50m pylons). The existing power route, adjacent to the Lochs road, could be followed.
LWP report that most of their windfarm traffic will originate at Arnish. Although no figures are provided for the Lochs road, traffic through Newmarket is estimated at 20,420 HGV movements. BMP advise that up to 76,611 two-way vehicle movements will be required during construction. No assessment has been made of the potential disruption to traffic on the Lochs road from these two developments combined.
First Minister Jack McConnell said the Scottish Government has already granted approvals for projects sufficient to meet its 2010 target of having 18% of electricity generated from renewable resources (SE Press release 18/11/2004). There are still 15 years to develop alternatives such as wave and tidal.
The Western Isles should strive to become a real Renewable Energy Innovation Zone, working towards energy self sufficiency. This should, through time, give us cheaper energy, which would be the real magnet for keeping our people here, attracting others to come, and bringing in new businesses. Pioneering research and development in a range of renewable energy alternatives would create a diverse range of sustainable jobs without damaging the existing economy or our environment.

"The impacts arising from the relationship of the turbines to land form and the visual impact of views from public roads and settlements would be significant and adverse.
Caution should be exercised in the siting and location of turbines and other structures. This should be as far away as possible from roads, village communities and coastal areas, as this will affect the Board's ability to promote the unspoilt beauty of the landscape.
NPPG14 Recognises that "The most sensitive landscapes may have little or no capacity to accept new development. Some of Scotland's remoter mountain or coastal areas possess an elemental quality from which many people derive psychological and spiritual benefit. Such areas are very sensitive to any form of development or intensive human activity and Planning Authorities should take particular care that new development in or adjacent to a NSA (National Scenic Area) does not detract from the quality or character of the landscape.

I worked here for a number of years and served in a few different capacities during my tenure at Peridot. The shop is a contract manufacturer working on the cutting edge of myriad emerging technologies with many of the biggest names in industry. The company takes on some of the most difficult and close-toleranced sheet metal, wire, and machining jobs out there and prides itself in doing what others can't or won't. More variety of in-house processes than I've seen at any other job shop. An excellent place to gain exposure to manufacturing processes beyond traditional CNC machining. They have everything from laser cutting & welding to cleanroom assembly, punching, & CNC sheet metal & wire machines.
The commute to Pleasanton is difficult for most employees not living in the Tri-Valley. It is, of course, a fast-paced and challenging industry to be in, definitely not for those who can't handle the pressure of low-volume / high mix work or those who can't effectively "put out" the inevitable "fires" inherent in high-precision manufacturing.

What part of your manor is Ladybower in?
its on the snake pass Mike in the peak district .
one of the best roads going if you can get a good run at it..


Jax here, with another challenge!
You must collab with someone to make it, but who you collab with will be assigned by me.
There are no rule except that you have to collab with the person assigned to you. You have complete creative freedom. You and your partner must complete your project by Mar. 14th.
Prizes Bragging rights and a repost?
Hope this won't be too difficult.
Wish I could join, but I'm on holiday for most of that timeframe.
Ahh. Sign-ups by the 29th. I misread. Sure, I'll do it then.
Just a few more days left to sign up. If you would like to opt out, mention me.
should mention tho, that I dont have the subscription, so I only got the demo sounds (tho i do see myself as pretty good with making them sound interesting), so i'd prob be good to match people up based on that.
Collabs: Yes. Osharu. Spook Gang halloween collab ppl.
Ableton: beginner to software so still learning how things work, but musically, about on garageband level.
other: prefer to do "harder" genres, but more than willing to work with anyone for any genre anyway.
I should also probably have everyone say if they are demo users or subscription users and have them matched up with other demo users or subscription users respectively and we could have one subscription and one demo winner, unless you are okay with working with premium users.
yeah, but then it means that the demo user can't edit anything if the sub user does something. they can only give feedback at that point.
Personally, i'd rather work with another demo user so i can at least have more of a part for the track. there def will be a lack of "diversity" with the sounds, but there are ways to get them to sound good and to make pretty creative stuff. I'd plug a wip of mine, but i'd rather not just for the sake of not tooting my own horn here.
If you would rather be matched up with a demo user or sub user, please specify and edit your original post. I will do my best to match everyone up accordingly.

Chicago Is About to Become a Bucket-List Destination For Disney Fans—Here's Why
by Brooke Geiger McDonald June 28, 2019

It's astonishing to learn how few people know that one of the 20th century's most influential Americans was born in Chicago. A new museum is out to change that—and turn an unassuming home on a quiet street in the Hermosa neighborhood on Chicago's Northwest side into a bucket-list destination for Disney fans across the globe.
Walter Elias Disney was born on Dec. 5, 1901 on the second floor of the home that now stands at 2156 N. Tripp Ave (the address has changed over time). Elias Disney, Walt's father and a carpenter, purchased the property on Oct. 31, 1891 and built a home there for his growing family. Elias, his wife Flora, and their two children, Herbert and Raymond, moved into the home in 1893. Their third son, Roy, was born soon thereafter, on June 24, 1893. Two years after Walt's birth, Walter and Flora welcomed their fifth child, Ruth, on Dec. 6, 1903.

The extraordinary significance of this home, where the Disney family lived from 1893 until 1906 when they moved to Marceline, Missouri, cannot be understated. Three of the five children were born here, and this was the place in which the Disneys spent the most time together as a family of seven.

Preserving Walt Disney's Birthplace for Future Generations
When Dina Benadon and Brent Young learned that the home had fallen into disrepair, they stepped in to buy it, saving this important piece of American history from potentially being lost forever. They purchased the home in 2013, committed to turning it into a museum, The Walt Disney Birthplace, and launched a painstaking renovation process, funded by a crowdfunding campaign and a significant grant by The Walt Disney Company Foundation.
Because Walt Disney was only 4 when the family moved out of the home and headed for Marceline, Missouri, the prevailing mindset has been that time spent in the house would have had minimal impact on Walt and the trajectory his future took. "It's not like Walt would have had any formative memories of being there," Michael Barrier, author of Walt Disney biography "The Animated Man" told the Chicago Tribune. "So people tend to think of Disney as a product of Missouri, where the family eventually moved," Barrier said.
Not so, say Benadon and Young, and indeed, science. According to the latest research on early childhood development, a child's brain develops more during the first five years than at any other time in life. In fact, 90% of brain development is complete by the time a child turns 5, making this a critically important period in determining a child's ability to learn and succeed throughout their life. Far from being the least significant period in Walt Disney's life, the time he spent in his first home was arguably the most fundamental to the man he became. Walt's brother and business partner Roy, a bit of an unsung hero in the story of the Walt Disney Company, also spent the better part of his childhood—13 years—in the home.
Armed with this knowledge and a commitment to giving the world a chance to see where these beloved American icons got their start, Benadon and Young assembled a superstar team of experts to restore the house to the place the Disney family called home.
Bringing Walt's Home Back to Life
The fact that Elias Disney built this home with his own hands made it even more imperative to the restoration team, led by preservation architect Charlie Pipal with the help of Chicago historian Tim Samuelson, to salvage and restore every original component possible, from floorboards to siding. Pipal, an adjunct professor in the Historic Preservation Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, even commissioned a forensic analysis of the home's paint layers to determine the original colors the home would have been when the Disney family lived there.

Today, the structural restoration to the original portion of the home occupied by the Disney family (a later addition to the back of the home will be utilized for museum operations) is complete. Passersby can marvel at the sparkling new paint job, beautiful porch, and manicured lawn and garden designed by landscape architects Scott Byron and Associates.
Still to come…
But, there's more work to be done. The team behind the project have lofty plans to transform the interior of the home in to a veritable interactive time machine—and they've got the chops to do it. Benadon and Young, co-founders of Super 78 a Los Angeles-based animation/design and media production company that develops and designs attractions for theme parks and museums, have made a career of creating immersive, interactive attractions like the one they've envisioned for the Birthplace.
When the museum opens its doors to the public, guests will cross the threshold and feel like they've stepped straight into the foyer of the Disney family's home in turn-of-the-century Chicago. They'll smell dinner cooking in the kitchen, hear the sounds of Walt and Roy playing and laughing in their bedroom upstairs, and get to explore the home, peeking in furniture drawers and poking their heads around corners to discover magical surprises and high-tech interactive elements that promise to deliver a truly transportive experience.
The coolest part of their plan? As we already mentioned, the back of the home was previously extended by an addition, so the windows that once looked out onto the backyard are now solid walls. But not for long. The team plans to bring the windows back in the form of high-tech video screens that will mimic windows, but instead enable guests to look "outside" and see and hear the sights and sounds the Disney family would have while they lived there. "We want this house tour to be a unique experience that allows guests to interact in a way that immersion has never done before," says Benadon.
Sounds fun, right? Just wait until you hear how you'll get there.
Hermosa is a quiet working-class neighborhood not all that dissimilar today to what it was like when the Disneys lived there, and Benadon and team plan to keep it that way. Because the home is on a residential street, parking is currently an issue for visitors. So, the big-picture plans also include identifying a nearby location where a parking lot and visitor center can be built to preserve the peacefulness of the block of Tripp Ave. where the home sits.
Guests will be able to park and begin the storytelling journey in the visitor center before boarding a trolley that will bring them to the museum. Onboard the trolley, as in the museum, the Super 78 team will bring their theme park attraction design skills to the experience. Guests will be greeted by an in-character driver, who will continue the Disney family's story during their trip. Trolley windows will actually be screens, giving guests the illusion that they're traveling through the neighborhood at the turn of the century—a "window" into what life in Chicago was like at the time.
Elias Disney also built a church around the corner from the home, as well as two additional homes on the street, so additional stops on the trolley tour could also be on the itinerary.

Inspiring Future Generations
Walt Disney's realization of the American Dream lies the heart of the vision for the museum. The idea that a kid who grew up in this modest home in a working-class Chicago neighborhood could, through a combination of creativity, confidence, and hard work, go on to become the man who brought us Mickey Mouse, Disney theme parks, and the global media empire Disney continues to be today, is a story that continues to move all who've been touched by Disney's legacy. Benadon and Young want this museum to be a place that lights a creative spark for young visitors and reminds them that they can too be anything.

To further this mission, the museum will also house the Center for Early Childhood Creativity and Innovation (CECCI), a nonprofit dedicated to empowering children and their families to create and innovate. Benadon and Young hope to begin by inspiring first the children of the Hermosa neighborhood, who are growing up on the same streets in hardworking families just as Walt and Roy did, but they're not stopping there. "That these two amazing men came out of that average neighborhood is proof that anyone can do it," Benadon says. "This home can be a great symbol for the neighborhood, Chicago and the American Dream."
