Q: Unable to map coordinates on Google Maps I have a list of coordinates that I want to plot on Google Maps, but I can't figure out how to do that. The coordinates, depending on how I plot them, appear to be all around the globe, while they should be placed in Trondheim, Norway. (And the application I have extracted them from successfully places them in Trondheim, so I know they are correct.)
A normal Google Maps coordinate from Trondheim looks like this:
63.4304, 10.395069

My coordinates, however, look like this:
long,    lat
1154262, 9182277
1143762, 9184473
1157168, 9194133
1157375, 9200167
1164505, 9209786

I believe that these are in some kind of WGS84 format, but as I am a complete novice on this field, I am not completely sure. I think so because of the headers in the XML I have extracted them from:
<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#"
xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss"
xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
xmlns:mappoint="http://virtualearth.msn.com/apis/annotate#">

When I try to use this coordinate converter, it returns coordinates in Kazakhstan. I am utterly confused. All other converters I have tried either returns locations in strange countries or in the middle of the oceans, or they fail to convert my data at all.
Does anybody here know what kind of coordinates I have, and how I can convert them to normal latitude and longitude degrees?
A formula is enough, but if there exists any libraries for this, I am using C# as development language. Any other languages would suffice, however, as I am probably able to convert them to my own anyway.

A: WGS-84 is Spherical Mercator, the projection system used by Google, so the coordinates you have provided are obviously not. Unfortunately for any formula to work you will need to find out the projection that your points are in.
Some more detailed information on projection is available here: http://courses.washington.edu/gis250/lessons/projection/
And a library to convert between common coordinate systems in .net is available at: http://www.doogal.co.uk/dotnetcoords.php.
Would it be possible for you to open the map layer in an GIS program such as: http://www.qgis.org/en/site/ and use the options available to determine the projection of the layer?
Some tips for identifying the coordinate system (written for ARCGIS but the programs are similar): http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//003r00000004000000 https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/7839/best-practices-for-identifying-the-unknown-coordinate-system-of-a-shapefile

Two Noida schools shut after student
Two Noida schools shut after student's father tests positive
PTI / Updated: Mar 4, 2020, 07:19 IST
Teachers and students of Shriram Millennium school leave the campus in Noida on Tuesday
Parent had thrown a birthday party for his child; medical samples from 5 students have been taken.
NOIDA Two private schools in Noida cancelled classes on Tuesday for the next few days as a precautionary measure after the father of a student tested positive for coronavirus, officials said.
The two schools announced their closure in messages sent to the parents, a day after the Union Health Ministry reported two fresh cases of coronavirus –one of them in Delhi.
One of the schools, where the Delhi man's son is a primary class student, said it will remain shut from March 4 to March 6. The parent had thrown a birthday party last week for the child, triggering fears that the students who attended it might be at risk.
Medical samples from five students from the school have been taken to check if anyone has been infected, an official said. Earlier in the day, the school said it was postponing internal examinations scheduled for Tuesday due to some "unavoidable circumstances".
The board exams are not affected, the messages sent to the parents made clear. The second school said it is suspending classes from now to March 9 and sanitising its campus.
Fumigation was underway at both schools.
Meanwhile, some family members of the coronavirus-infected Delhibased man and his accountant were taken to the Safdarjung Hospital for tests after they showed symptoms of the virus, Health Ministry sources said.
Noida's Chief Medical Officer Anurag Bhargava urged people not to panic, and said that the virus is "fragile in nature".
Hotel staff told to self-quarantine after diner tests positive
The Hyatt Regency Delhi on Tuesday asked its employees to self-quarantine for 14 days after it came to light that the man from Delhi had dined at a restaurant in the hotel on February 28. The hotel said it has also enacted elevated precautionary operational protocols at the property as advised by the government.
70 people quarantined in Kashmir Valley
Seventy people in the Kashmir Valley who returned from a pilgrimage to Iran last month have been placed in home quarantine for 14 days.
The Jammu and Kashmir government has deputed two doctors at the Srinagar airport to screen arriving passengers for symptoms of the virus. "If a flyer shows any of the symptoms, he/she will be whisked away to a hospital immediately," said Santosh Dhoke, airport director. Meanwhile, a Kashmiri student who was evacuated from Wuhan last month and was suspected to have contracted the virus, has tested negative for it.
"He, however, tested positive for influenza and is on quarantine at home," said a hospital official. MMB
Indian Navy postpones maritime exercise
The Indian Navy has postponed its biggest multilateral naval exercise — Milan 2020 — in the Indian Ocean which was scheduled to begin on March 19.
The multi-nation naval exercise was to be staged off the Vizag coast from March 19 to March 28. An officer said all participating countries will be informed.
Visas to citizens of 4 countries suspended
The Union health ministry on Tuesday issued a travel advisory suspending all regular visas/evisas granted by March 3 to nationals of Italy, Iran, South Korea and Japan who have not yet entered India.
The advisory also suspends visa on arrival issued by March 3 to Japanese and South Korean nationals who have not yet entered India. Earlier, regular visas/e-visas granted to Chinese nationals, issued by February 5, were suspended. This remains in force. Diplomats and officials of international bodies, overseas citizen of India cardholders and foreign aircrew are exempted.
Agra hotels to report visitors from 3 countries
Hotels and the authorities at tourist sites in Agra have been told to inform the office of the chief medical officer as soon as visitors from Italy, Iran or China arrive.

32nd Annual Awards Dinner Recap
On October 28, 2013, Tri-County Scholarship Fund celebrated its 32nd annual awards dinner. Considered by many present to be one of the best Tri-County dinners so far, it featured honorees Sr. Francis Raftery S.C., Walter and Irene Crum and John Parry. Sr. Francis had recently completed a highly successful 16 year tenure as President of the College of St. Elizabeth in Convent Station, NJ. Walter and Irene Crum, together, have more than 50 years of teaching young men at Oratory Prep in Summit, NJ. John Parry is the CEO of Solix, Inc. in Parsippany, NJ based business process outsourcing provider.
The highlight of the event is always the children of Tri-County, and they were there in abundance. Some thirty high school students, all recipients of an annual $4,000.00 scholarship, introduced the night by singing God Bless America and leading the 400 guests in the Pledge of Allegiance. Master of Ceremonies Steve Adubato took over from there, leading the night with his characteristic blend of passion and gentle humor. "Sister, will you please sit down?" had the crowd in stitches as Steve asked an unsuspecting nun who was caught in conversation, to take her place. Amid the laughter, the former Catholic school boy said: "I'm sorry, Sister: I just always wanted to say that to a nun!"
Two students addressed the gathering: Tecianna Ross, a senior at Montclair State pursuing a degree in Public Health with a minor in Nutrition and Pre-Med and Alessandra Veliz, a senior at De Paul Catholic High School. Tecianna, a former Tri-County scholar, spoke eloquently of the plight of inner-city children and of the help she had received: "There are many other kids out there that are in the same situation that I once was in. Many of them have amazing potential that goes unnoticed because they have no other choice but to attend failing schools. I strongly urge all of you to continue working on behalf of these students because the opportunity that is offered by this organization changed the trajectory of my life." Next, Alessandra spoke of hope and promise: "Your generosity not only inspires me to be different, but to MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I want to come back to this dinner one day, not just as a former scholar, but I want to give back. I want to ensure that the students after me get the opportunities that I got. That is the level of commitment that your generosity has fostered in me." The dinner guests were deeply moved by the testimony of these two magnificent young women.
In addition to the students, the honorees spoke movingly of their work with young people and also of how a great education was a key to their success not just in the workplace, but as human beings. Sr. Francis received the Lifetime Achievement Award; Walter and Irene Crum, the Making a Difference Award and John Parry, the Hall of Fame Award.
A novelty of the night, enjoyed by all, was a technology called Text-to-Pledge. By texting messages and donations, much encouragement was given to the students, the honorees and the organization itself. The texted donations ranged from $5.00 to $10,000.00. In addition to the fun, excitement and warm regards spread around the room for all to see on big screens, an additional $117,000 in scholarship funds was raised during dinner. This brought the total dinner come to $662,000.00, which will pay for more than three hundred scholarships for New Jersey youth next year.
As people left the dinner, the sense of joy, fellowship and good cheer, coupled with a desire to be part of the solution, was shared by all. #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

ScanMyPhotos.com donated to help orphans in Japan rebuild lives post-tsunami (via @GlobalGiving)
Posted on June 2, 2011 by Mitch Goldstone
ScanMyPhotos.com contributed a donation to Global Giving to help orphans in Japan in the memory of Libby Smith, a longtime member of the photo imaging industry and companion of Don Franz, the well known international publisher and industry commentator.
Our project will provide immediate and long-term support to orphanages in Tohoku and other areas that were affected by the devastating earthquake and tsunami. This support includes delivering basic necessities and services to help children regain a sense of stability in their lives. We'll provide material support such as clothing, footwear, toys, books, school supplies, and bikes. For emotional support, this includes counseling and therapeutic activities (field trips,Yoga, camps,etc…)
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
There are approximately 100,000 displaced children (according to Save the Children estimates) as a result of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that took place on March 11, 2011. Although there are relief organizations in the Tohoku region currently providing food, shelter and crisis counselling support, many orphans will need longer-term support to help restore their lives and renew their spirit. Many orphanages (in and around) northeastern Japan will now have new orphans under their care.
How will this project solve this problem?
Tohoku Kids' Support Project will directly address two-tiers of support at those affected orphanages. By working closely with orphanage staff, local prefecture wards, and children's homes associations, we will address the specific needs at each orphanage. Tier one support will replace those personal items that were lost in the disaster such as clothing, footwear, school supplies, books, toys, phones,bikes, etc. Tier two support will address child counselling needs and therapeutic activities.
Potential Long Term Impact
With many orphanages taking in newly displaced children, it will be incredibly important to create peaceful, stable and caring environments for all of these children. The road towards renewal and stability for these kids will be an arduous one. By restoring children's personal items, they will begin to feel some sense of normalcy. By offering access to counselling, they can begin the process of grieving. By providing therapeutic activities and field trips, they can start to feel like kids again.
Project Message
Having worked with many orphanages, I know how important it is for these kids to feel normal. They need stability in their lives and dreams to look forward to–this project will strive to meet both.

Laugh Out Loud Travel Memories
January 16, 2022 Our Man On The Ground Book Reviews 0
Writer Kate Wickers sounds like my kind of travelling pal.
She comes across as fabulous fun and up for a laugh. Well judging by her new book 'Shape of a Boy', which is packed with lots of memories of her travels with husband Neil and their three boys, Josh, Ben and Freddie.
The book is really a memoir of the family's happy times exploring the world together. Kate's mantra when she had children, was to travel more, as she felt it would be good for everyone and inspire her offspring to live adventurous lives. This despite the doom mongers who reckoned no one would remember until their teenage years.
I couldn't agree more with Kate, my children Ruaridh (14) and Flossie (12) have been travelling since birth, primarily as babies because they were able to travel free of charge on planes, although a mammoth journey to Japan with a 3 year-old and an 18-month-old , did question our judgement!
But we stored up some wonderful photographs and memories, because the Japanese love children and especially cute blonde haired ones or chubby babies. And we haven't stopped since and if nothing, it has taught Ruaridh and Flossie to pack light, because mum isn't going to carry…
Kate's book takes her family travels through the different stages of childhood and the life lessons they all shared, from overcoming disappointment in Thailand to discovering perseverance in Borneo and learning about conservation in Malaysia.
A warm and engaging writer, Kate's book is an easy read and an inspiration to those who haven't ventured far.
After all, as we thought, what can go wrong, like when we failed to spot a helpful Ruaridh push Flossie's pram into a lift and send her to another terminal at Edinburgh airport, two minutes before boarding – we got her back, but the nightmares continue…

Q: Format position of title and subtitle in ggplotly I have created the following plot using plotly in R.

I would like to align the title and subtitle to the left side, similarly to what's done in the plot attached below. Also looking for some advice on how I can avoid having the top of the title being cut off/the subtitle not overlapping with the box.

Here is a reproductible of dataset
structure(list(Date = structure(c(17348, 17379, 17410, 17440,

-10.6)), row.names = c(NA, -37L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl",

and the code I've used below
pacman::p_load(tidyverse,lubridate,ggthemes,readxl,tsibble,plotly)

p1 <- ggplot(dataset, aes(Date, Annual)) +
  geom_line(size = 1.2, col = '#4f042e') +

I was recently in a discussion with an 10+ year incumbent Labor Service provider that turned out much better than I expected. Despite a challenging supply situation, we found a way to work together to address both our business needs.
If we turn back the clock to 2010, Mark Zuckerberg was Time Magazine Person of the Year and we were all very excited about this new device called an iPad. We started talking about renewable energy in a big way and 3D Bioprinters and the Google Driverless Car made their first appearance. Technology was getting really, really cool.
But labor was a commodity and with an unemployment rate of 9.7% smart machines were not going to be replacing human laborers any time soon.
The Labor industry was, and remains, large and fragmented. Labor services had not been strategic for P&G, in fact we had contracted through a Managed Service Provider (MSP) for most of our requirements. Fast forward and things have changed – a lot! US unemployment has been trending down and is currently at a low 3.7%;, much of the rest of the world where we operate shows a similar patern.
About two years ago, we realized we needed to change strategy. When you are faced with the challenge of not being able to ship your business due to lack of truck drivers, material handlers and on-line laborers, a spend that might have been classified as Non-Critical is now a Ricky Bottleneck. We needed to start paying closer attention to the labor market and eliminate the MSP layer between us and the Service provider. We needed to sort through the fragmentation and find a few Service suppliers with whom we could partner. Fortunately that Service provider of 10 years looked like they had the capability to meet our needs. The bottlenecked supply was impacting the agency as much as it was impacting us – finding a way to work together to attract and retain talent was a challenge we both faced.
How and when will teams interact?
What kind of scorecard, survey or audit metrics will define performance?
How might the Service change due to shifting business demands?
How will you balance the client need for improved productivity and cost with the Service supplier need for revenue growth?
How are you thinking about innovation and the cost of technology?
What about the transition process – what actions are required at both at the start as well as the closure of the Service?
An Engagement Model recognizes the effort required for Service Delivery and Service Receipt. Outlining how the partners will work together ensures sustainability of the partnership, clarifies the Total Cost of Ownership to deliver the Service model and sets a strategic vision for the partnership that justifies a multi-year contract.
Do you have an Engagement Model for your Service? How can I help you?

You Have Always had the Right to Remain Silent, Have an Attorney . . .
December 3, 2017 by Mark E. McKinnon
There have been a number of press reports breathlessly announcing that, under a new FAA policy, it is now a crime to fly a UAS at a stadium on game day. While we hate to let facts get in the way of a good headline, we thought we would point out that it has, in fact, been illegal to fly a UAS at a stadium for more than a decade.
These recent stories were prompted by the issuance of Notice to Airmen ("NOTAM") No. FDC 4/3621. This NOTAM states that the area surrounding stadiums hosting major sporting events are "National Defense Airspace." Any flight of an aircraft, including unmanned aircraft, within 3 nautical miles of a stadium and at an altitude of less than 3000 feet above-ground-level ("AGL"), is a crime under 49 U.S.C. § 46307, and is punishable by a fine and up to 1 year of imprisonment.
While this sounds like a significant development, it is nothing more than a clarification of existing law. NOTAM 4/3621 is a replacement for NOTAM 9/5151, which had the same flight restrictions around stadiums and the same potential criminal penalty. While it did not use the words "remote control aircraft," the FAA has been clear that it always considered UASs to be aircraft, and, by default, were included in this restriction. Moreover, the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 makes clear that model aircraft and UAS are types of aircraft, further backing up the FAA's position. In fact, it should be noted that one of the justifications given by the FAA for their refusal to permit the University of Michigan to fly the game ball into the stadium was the existence of the earlier NOTAM. As a result, this new NOTAM is nothing more than a clarification of existing law and policy.
The FAA's policy is similar to the policy followed in other countries. For example, just two weeks ago, a man was arrested for flying a UAS at Manchester City Stadium during a soccer match. The UK Civil Aviation Authority announced they intended to prosecute the man for violating an Air Navigation Order which is similar to the FAA's NOTAM.
People also seem to be forgetting that local law enforcement has taken a very dim view of UAS flights at sporting events, regardless of what the FAA's position might have been. So far this fall, a UAS pilot was detained for flying at the University of Texas Stadium, and another was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment for flying at the US Open.
While it is unfortunate that people seem to have been unaware of this long-standing flight restriction, the revised NOTAM seems to be having its intended effect. Hopefully, this latest round of media attention will help to avoid future incidents.
So, if you want a bird's eye view of the action, get a seat in the bleachers, and leave your UAS at home.

Langston was a small station on the Hayling Island branch. The station along with the rest of the line closed in 1963, and it served the Langstone area of Havant, a former village which had become contiguous with the larger town to its north. The railway companies always used the old spelling "Langston" for the station, in spite of this form not being used by the local community, and it can be seen in many photographs of the station sign.

The line itself crossed the sole road on and off Hayling Island, which is now the A3023, with a gated level crossing and wooden platform (upgraded to concrete in 1950). This would cause huge traffic jams during peak hours, especially in summer, since the Island had the closest sandy beach to Portsmouth, and trains ran every fifteen minutes at peak times.

The station had no freight facilities (neither did North Hayling, the other intermediate station), however in the Victorian period, there was a slipway for a train ferry to the Isle of Wight immediately south of Langston station. The ferry ran to Bembridge, where there was also a railway station, this being prior to the construction of the pier stations at Portsmouth Harbour and Ryde Pier Head by the LSWR to create a direct rail-ferry link for the Island.

The station structure has since been demolished, but one can still walk the route up to Havant station.

The stationmaster's house was destroyed by fire in December 2018.

These people love marijuana but don't want it legalised
It seems that if you're passionate about marijuana, then it would make sense that you support the full legalisation of marijuana. There are however some people who are big fans of everything marijuana, but would rather that legalisation doesn't take place.
Why? The price.
There are people out there, particularly in the new legalised states who aren't so keen on the new way of doing things. They are generally split into one of two categories.
One of these are former drug dealers. They're unhappy that their business has been moved out of the shadows. One of the best things about drug prohibition is the amount of money one can make if you're willing to deal in contraband. Just like bootleggers before them, drug dealers use the fact that marijuana is illegal to inflate the price and take all the profit.
When people sell cannabis products openly and legally, it removes the amount of money you can charge for the extra risk that used to be inherent in the transaction. Drug dealers have lost out massively since legalisation. They might love cannabis but they don't love everyone having equal access to it. They want you to go through them so they can overcharge you for it.
The second group of people who aren't massive fans of full legalisation are the people who like to buy cannabis from drug dealers because it's actually cheaper for them than buying it in a licensed dispensary. 'Black market' cannabis in legal states doesn't have sales tax, and doesn't have the other taxes that come up during production incorporated into the end price. This causes cannabis produced and sold illegally in legal states to be sold at much cheaper than its legal counterparts.
These are two of the main reasons why someone could be quite happy with cannabis use and culture but against legalisation. The only time these people are effected by cannabis laws are when they are caught, and because most of them haven't been caught, they feel invincible.
These people are part of the problem.

Pakistani anti-corruption march reaches Islamabad
An influential Pakistani preacher and thousands of his supporters have reached Islamabad on Monday as part of a "long march" against corruption.
Tahirul Qadri, a preacher who returned to Pakistan from Canada last month, is leading a call for electoral reforms.
He left the city of Lahore on Sunday with thousands of supporters, and reached Islamabad late on Monday, where he addressed crowds near parliament.
The authorities accuse him of trying to postpone elections due by May.
The cleric wants the military and judiciary to be involved in installing a caretaker government to oversee the forthcoming elections.
The government is due to disband in March, and elections must then be held within six weeks.
Addressing tens of thousands of supporters in the capital late on Monday night, Mr Qadri called for provincial assemblies to make way for a caretaker administration.
He wants measures put in place to prevent corrupt people or criminals from standing for elected office.
"Morally, your government and your assemblies have ended tonight," he said from behind bullet-proof glass on a stage erected on Jinnah Avenue, less than a mile from Pakistan's parliament.
"I will give [the government] a deadline until tomorrow to dissolve the federal parliament and provincial assemblies. After that, the people's assembly here will take their own decision."
Earlier, his black chauffeur-driven car was showered with pink rose petals as it approached the stage in Pakistan's main city.
By the time his procession reached Islamabad, an estimated 10,000 people had joined the slow-moving convoy of cars, buses and trucks – more crowds were waiting in Islamabad to greet the cleric.
An extra 15,000 police had been deployed on the streets and many parts of the capital were sealed off.
Authorities in the capital had warned that Mr Qadri and his supporters would not be allowed into the city centre. The government had warned that militants may target the marchers.
Mr Qadri's flamboyant preaching style and expensive television campaigns have raised his profile in Pakistan in recent weeks.
But there has also been widespread speculation that he is backed by Pakistan's powerful military, and is being used to reassert the army's control over Pakistani politics.
Mr Qadri has rejected this allegation. "I have no link with military institutions," he told Reuters. "I am one of the biggest staunch believers… of democracy in the whole world."
He was a prominent supporter of former army chief Pervez Musharraf when he seized power in a coup in 1999, and served in the national assembly under him before moving to Canada in 2006, where he ran a charity.
In December he was able to mobilise tens of thousands of supporters at a rally in Lahore, but it remains unclear how much support he enjoys across the country.

Politics Racial issues White Privilege
Stanford professor: 2020 election conspiracies, January 6 about 'protecting a racist order'
Dave Huber - Associate Editor •August 27, 2022
A political science professor from Stanford University recently compared the South's "Lost Cause" to the so-called 2020 election "Big Lie" and January 6, 2021 "insurrection" at the U.S. Capitol.
The Lost Cause, NPR notes, is the "racist myth that justifies chattel slavery, [the] false story of generous slave owners and happy slaves" and the Civil War not being about slavery but states' rights.
Like the Lost Cause, the "Big Lie" that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 presidential election is "a drive to protect a racist order" and "meant to justify — and at the same time deny the existence of — violence meant to preserve white power," according to Professor Hakeem Jefferson (pictured).
That most involved in the Capitol riot were white means their actions were a "racial backlash … against the very perception of racial progress and the idea, unrealized though it may be, of multiracial democracy," Jefferson said.
It is also about the power to tell a narrative of one's self and one's identity group […] The power some white people want to hold onto is a power of narrative.
So it's not about power that's maintained by burning crosses. It's about power that's maintained about telling some stories and not some others in schools […] It's about power to elect people who you think will do your bidding.
MORE: Prof: Educators should teach January 6 was a 'case study in white privilege'
Jefferson, who according to his Twitter bio "think[s] about identity, stigma, race, and politics more than any normal person should," added that while "Americans are really responsive to the spectacular," there are more "subtle […] incremental or seemingly legal" threats to democracy — all being pushed by the Republican Party. These include alleged "voter suppression" laws and the conservative bloc of the U.S. Supreme Court possibly making use of a "fringe legal theory" which would give state legislatures "control of elections."
"January the 6th was a racial project," Jefferson said. "But the everyday undos and attacks on American democracy are also a part of a racial project."
About year ago, Jefferson opined that white people's resistance to wearing face masks was "crazy" and rooted in "whiteness."
"Ain't like masks are comfortable for non-white people," Jefferson wrote. "But you don't see a bunch of Black folks storming [school board] meetings. And it's not just cause these white folks are GOP. It's cause they're white, & believe whiteness confers upon them a kind of power that places them above gov action."
The David Horowitz Freedom Center took out a Facebook ad ripping Jefferson's remarks, whereupon Stanford complained to Facebook and demanded it be removed. The social media company eventually complied, with Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne saying "we deplore social media mechanisms that have the intent or effect of intimidating or silencing scholars."

Before I go to sleep, I check the Alcatraz site to see if it says anything about being open the next day. It does not. It still has the information about being closed for the government shutdown.
In the morning, the very early morning, (I'm an insomniac and even going to bed after midnight in a wine soaked stupor does not keep me from waking up early), I check the site again and it looks like it did before the shutdown, so I take that as a sign that they are back in business today. Yay! I don't have a lot of things planned for San Francisco and this was one of them and I wasn't sure what we'd do if it didn't happen. I am not a sight see until you drop kind of girl.
We start out feeling like we have plenty of time. We decide to eat at the hotel restaurant, One Up, for breakfast because the menu looks really good. They have a buffet, but it seems pricey at $25, even if it does include eggs and breakfast meats.
I get what caught my eye in the first place, the Maple Bacon Eggs Benedict with spinach and calabrian chili hollandaise. It's got spinach, which cancels out anything bad about bacon and hollandaise, right?
It tasted good, although not as good as it sounded and looked.
Zung got……..wait for it……an omelette! Which was also buried in the hollandaise.But I'm sure those green things in it, whatever the are, cancelled out the hollandaise. Or they should. Anything green cancels out anything bad.
It took quite a while for our food to come and then we started getting concerned about the time. Our reservations for Alcatraz was at 10:30 and you are supposed to get there about a half an hour early.
We went back to the room and got our stuff together and headed out.
We called for an Uber car to come pick us up. We went out front and there were black town cars all over! I asked a couple drivers if they were there for us and then our driver called and he was right across the street. He took us to Pier 33. We arrived a few minutes before it was time to que up for the ferry. We walked around and enjoyed the view. We had printed our tickets out at home, so all we had to do was get in line when it was time.
When it is time, we get in line. All the workers seem happy to be back at work.
The line starts to move, slowly. They make you have a cheesy picture taken with a large picture of the island in the background. We eventually get on the ferry. There are great views of the bridges and the city and Alcatraz and Angel islands.
The ferry ride was about 15-20 minutes long. Alcatraz is old and it looks old.
There is a brief orientation and then you have the choice of exploring on your own or doing a 45 minute tour with one of the rangers who tells you about each of the attempted Alcatraz escapes.
We opted for the escape tour with Ranger Benny.
There were a lot of obnoxious and aggressive flies around the dock area, so we were glad when we were taken away from that area. Ranger Benny talked about many other things than the attempted escapes. I would recommend doing this if you go to Alcatraz.
There were more great views of the Golden Gate bridge.
There are beautiful gardens on the island that the prisoners had planted and taken care of originally.
There were more very old buildings.
We wandered around a bit and then tried to find the audio tour, which took a bit of searching. Remember, there are lots of steep hills here. I was not feeling one bit guilty about not working out.
Once you get the audio tour you go into the cell block. While the outside has the beautiful views and beautiful gardens juxtaposed against the old, crumbling buildings, the inside is grim.
The audio tour is done by former guards and prisoners.
The tour takes you through the cell block and the different areas and tells different stories about inmates and events and the different areas. It's really very interesting.
They talked about how hard it was for the prisoners being so close to San Francisco. A lot of prisons are in the middle of nowhere. Alcatraz was in the middle of somewhere and they could see the city and actually hear it. The other interesting thing I learned was that there was staff that lived on the island with their families, including children. They thought it was very safe with all the armed guards. Most of the time it was, I guess.
We had been there for a long time, about 3 hours. Longer than I expected us to stay. I was suddenly "done." Tired and hungry. We went back to the dock to wait for the ferry. We ate one of our little loaves of cranberry walnut bread that Quince sent us home with last night.
There was the same nice view on the way back.
There is a lot to do in that vicinity of Pier 33, and we had originally planned to get something to eat and check out the tourist trap/mecca (depending on your point of view – it seems the locals hate it and the tourists love it) of Pier 39.
However, the other thing I really wanted to do was have Afternoon Tea at Neiman Marcus in the Rotunda. That was back at Union Square. And I still hadn't found THE shoes. We quickly made the decision to ditch Pier 39 and go back to Union Square. I ordered up an Uber, which we were quickly deciding was the best thing ever. It was like having a personal car service.
It was there quickly, and quickly we were at Neiman Marcus, sipping champagne. I know it's called Afternoon Tea, but it's so much better with a glass of champagne.

As online search and reading come easy to me, I've depended on them regularly for varied learning. In the area of mosaic based orientation, I've found these websites and blogs to be wonderful resources, and I recommend them highly for beginners to read, reread and use the shared ideas for their mosaic experiments. All the tutorials and advice are made available free of cost here so when combined with a good book, a helpful online group and regular hands-on practice, they would amply support a mosaic learner's quest to gaining confidence in the art of mosaic-making.
This Australia based mosaic supplies store website is a wonderful resource for learning to mosaic. The website's blog carries How-to project tutorials, tips and primers on tools that all beginners to mid-level mosaicists would find immensely useful.
The FAQ itself is an exhaustive resource and must be referred to by all levels of mosaic practitioners.
The site owner Lou Ann Weeks runs an online mosaic supply store and writes this useful blog that covers the basics of mosaic-making. Her videos and posts promote her recommended mosaic consumables but one can still learn much about the general art and technique of making mosaics from her site.
Dennis Brady started building this resource on glass fusing, cutting, selling and more when he saw that he had to work so hard to find the right information on techniques or tools. He built this website to share tutorials to promote free education to all. Most tutorials are focused on stained glass based techniques but a mosaic learner would find a lot of material of interest too.
There are a couple of blogs by mosaicists that I follow with interest. This one tops that list. Do read through the blog from its oldest to the newest post and enjoy Helen's humour as also the knowledge she shares through her posts.
Let me know if I've missed any helpful mosaic learning resources that must be included in this post.

Houston Texans Sign Shyheim Carter After Minicamp
Kendell Hollowell Published: May 17, 2021
The Houston Texans announced Sunday they have officially signed former Alabama defensive back Shyheim Carter after a successful rookie minicamp tryout.
He was currently serving as a graduate assistant for Alabama. In his four-year career, Carter played in 50 career games and made 23 starts for the Crimson Tide at the STAR position.
Carter came to Tuscaloosa as a unanimous four-star prospect in the 2016 recruiting cycle. ESPN ranked him as the No. 40 player overall, the No. 6 cornerback and No. 4 player in the state of Louisiana.
In his career, Carter recorded 100 tackles, six tackles for loss, three interceptions, two pick-sixes, two forced fumbles, and 18 pass breakups.
After going undrafted in the 2020 NFL draft, Carter signed with the New York Jets. Carter was then added to the Atlanta Falcons practice squad in September.
"I think Shyheim Carter would fit in probably one of the top two or three players on the team from a knowledge standpoint," Nick Saban said about Carter back in 2019. "He can answer every question in a meeting about every position. He would be a great, great coach. I think that's what creates a lot of diversity for him as a player, to be able to play multiple positions, because he's very smart and it means something to him."
Coach Saban also spoke about his versatility in the secondary. "Shy's actually played every position for us," Saban said. "He started out here playing corner. We made him star because he was a pretty good star. We've had him play money at times and we've also had him play safety.
The Texans will hold organized team activity workouts on May 24, May 26-27, June 1, June 3-4, June 7-8 and June 10-11. They will also hold mandatory minicamp from June 15-17.

Last ODI India v Australia - Oct 14, 2007 Scorecard
Nagpur, the winter capital of the state of Maharashtra, is a city famous for its oranges, and resident to the right-wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The tenth Test venue in the country, the Vidharbha Cricket Association-managed ground, probably the only international venue where you can walk straight into the ground from the road, has always made headlines for various reasons. Sunil Gavaskar got his only one-day, and World Cup, century here when India won by a huge margin against New Zealand in their final league encounter of the 1987 Reliance World Cup. This is the second best ground for Sachin Tendulkar when it comes to centuries - he has three here after four in Chepauk. It was a dark hour when in 1995, during the fifth game of the India-New Zealand ODI series, the brickwall at the East stand collapsed and nine people died.
As for the pitch, previously, it was just like any other docile pitch, till the BCCI-appointed pitch committee recommended the re-laying of the wicket in 1999. It took a while for the wicket to assume the true shape that it was designed to. Also the unique thing about this wicket is the 30-inch deep double-brick layer - normally there is a 15-inch brick layer - that facilitates in the extra pace and bounce. Surely, that was the a case when Australia conquered the `final frontier' as they beat India handsomely in the third Test to win the Border Gavaskar Trophy. The local critics were up-in-arms at how the curator ignored the home team's cause and prepared a fast wicket that helped the opposition fast bowlers. But the curator insisted that he had simply followed the instructions of the pitch panel. Today Nagpur is one of the only grounds to assist genuine fast bowlers in pace and movement and several first-class games in the 2004-05 season ended within three days as the medium-pacers reaped rich rewards.

So recently I spent three weeks out in Barcelona on holiday, of course I had my bike with me, who goes Barcelona without their bike?? Whilst out in the warmer climates of Barcelona Ed was there too on vacation with his girlfriend who was seeing a friend, which worked out perfect. I hadn't seen Ed since my trip to Athens with him earlier this year, it snowed and we didn't ride much and got drunk! Barcelona was much the same except for the snow. To be fair we managed to get a fair few good sessions in on and off the booze! Normally when meeting up with a spot the photographer (heaviest bag going) is always asked to put extra items in their bag…phones, wallets, sockets, speaker bars the list goes on!! Yeah sure I want to make my bag even heavier than it already is!! Ed is one to bring his own bag and offer to carry other people's stuff (people please take note) so I thought it would be a cool idea to see what was actually lugged around on a daily street mission with Ed.
Side note! Ed speaks better English than most Brits and will drink you under the table, top guy!
Camera – its always usefull to have it on a trip.
Speaker and ipod- because music is a big part of me!
Tubes – always good to have one on the road!
Baby powder – been helping me in the crazy heat!

King Carl Gustaf joined by Crown Princess Victoria for discussions on war preparedness
By Oskar Aanmoen
Photo by Kungl. Hovstaterna
King Carl Gustaf of Sweden has been joined by Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel at the annual Swedish Defence conference. The conference was this year digital due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the King kept up his tradition of his attendance on the conference. This years conference was also broadcasted live on Swedish TV on the channel SVT2.
At the opening of the national conference on January 11th 2021, the King gave with a live greeting to this year's participants and audience. In his greeting, the King said: "I have had the opportunity to attend the conference for a number of years. I believe that this conference will be as good as ever. I look forward to it and wish you all the best of luck and prosperity."
While the King was at his office at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, the Crown Princess and Prince Daniel attended the conference from Haga castle. King Carl Gustaf, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel will also attend the conference on January 12th.
The seminar is run by the organisation "People and Defence" and is regarded as Sweden's most important forum for discussions on security politics, defence and Swedish war preparedness. It is not just military participating in the seminar. In addition, politicians, civil organisations, professional organisations, the Swedish business community and representatives of several youth organisations were present along with the King at the seminar.
King Carl XVI Gustaf has a special role in Swedish defence. As most monarchs worldwide, he is his nation's top military commander. The King completed his military service in 1968 when he graduated as a naval officer in the Royal Swedish Navy. Afterwards, he took leadership courses and became a Lieutenant in the Svea bodyguards, Navy, Air Force and the Jemtland regiment. After the King ascended the throne when his grandfather died, he achieved the rank of Captain for both the Swedish fleet, army and air force through military education. He was automatically General and Admiral when he became King.

magic.html.ep:
The magic numbers are <%= $one %> and <%= $two %>!

Then run the application:
$ morbo my_app.pl

It works, but when I change the template it doesn't change the output because the template is cached:

How can I turn it off during development? I tried $renderer->cache(undef);, but it didn't work.

Liberia's last Ebola patient was discharged Thursday after a ceremony in the capital, Monrovia, bringing to zero the number of known cases in the country and marking a milestone in West Africa's battle against the disease.
Officials in Monrovia, the city where the raging epidemic littered the streets with bodies only five months ago, celebrated even as they warned that Liberia was at least weeks away from being officially declared free of Ebola. They also noted that the disease had flared up recently in neighboring Sierra Leone and Guinea, the two other countries hardest hit by Ebola.
The authorities are still tracking more than 100 people for possible exposure to the virus. As of Thursday, no new cases of Ebola had been confirmed inside Liberia for the past 13 days, Nyenswah said.
If no new cases emerge, the epidemic in Liberia will be considered over officially April 4, or 42 days after the last known infection. The 42-day marker is twice the longest incubation period for Ebola, 21 days.
Liberia has suffered the highest number of deaths during the epidemic, with 4,117 recorded victims, according to the World Health Organization. More than 9,800 people have died in total.
The health organisation reported Wednesday that new cases had increased sharply – to 132 from 99 – in Sierra Leone and Guinea in the week before March 1. Transmission remains widespread in Sierra Leone, and Conakry, the capital of Guinea, suffered a marked increase, according to the organisation.
On Thursday, the last patient being treated in Liberia, Beatrice Yardolo, a 58-year-old English teacher, was released from a treatment center in Monrovia built by the Chinese government. Yardolo, who lost two sons and a daughter to the disease, was treated for Ebola at the center and tested negative Tuesday.
Music could be heard from inside her family home in Monrovia, the sound of the festivities amplified by a loud rooster.
Yardolo's case was part of a recent outbreak in a community called St. Paul's Bridge, located in what was one of the biggest Ebola hot spots in Monrovia, New Kru Town. The outbreak was unusually violent and far-reaching, in part because it involved criminal gangs that did not cooperate with the authorities and fears that it could be spread through a knife fight with one member nicknamed Time Bomb.
The recent outbreak in St. Paul's Bridge also exposed the continuing weakness in Liberia's health care system, as patients with Ebola were admitted to health clinics that had failed to carry out proper triage. Hundreds of health care workers at half a dozen health clinics were placed under quarantine for possible exposure, although none of them became infected.
In Yardolo's case, her infection was traced to her oldest son, Steve, 32, who worked as a hygienist at an Ebola treatment center. He was infected fatally while performing his duties or interacting with a sick neighbor, Dr. Mosoka Fallah, Liberia's chief epidemiologist, said by telephone.

10 Reasons Why You Need to Travel to India This Year
Few countries in the world carve such a deep, lasting impression on a traveller as India does. Sitting upon layers upon layers of history, there is perhaps no other country on Earth that is home to such marked contrasts as India is. India overloads the senses with its cacophony of sounds, its vibrant colours and its extreme contradictions. A trip to India is full of the unexpected but one thing's certain: you won't return home quite the same after the adventure!
There are some parts of the world that, once visited, get into your heart and won't go. For me, India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by the richness of the land, by its lush beauty and exotic architecture, by its ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds… I had been seeing the world in black & white and, when brought face-to-face with India, experienced everything re-rendered in brilliant technicolor. — Keith Bellows, National Geographic Society
1. The people
The local people in India, particularly in the rural areas, are some of the kindest and most hospitable people I've encountered in all of my travels. Whether you're invited into a local's home for a traditional meal or just simply wander the streets and encounter children playing, you'll surely be touched by the warmth of the locals.
2. The Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world, is the most iconic symbol of India and is, arguably, the most famous monument in the world. Built by the Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his favourite wife, this 'teardrop on the face of eternity' is widely considered one of the most beautiful architectural wonders ever created. A visit to this marble mausoleum needs to be on every traveller's list.
The food alone is reason enough to travel to India — I sampled some of the most delicious food I have ever tasted during my travels there. Indians take their food very seriously and the cuisine, just like the country itself, is incredibly diverse.
In the North, you'll taste lots of thick, creamy curries that are moderately spicy. My favourites include mutton rogan josh, parathas and tandoori chicken. The food in the north is heavily influenced by Persian and Mughlai styles of cooking. Southern Indian cuisine is commonly characterised by the use of ingredients such as coconut, seafood and rice and is spicier than food in the north. My favourite southern dishes were the masala dosas and fish coconut curries. Vegetarians are also well catered for in India, due to the large proportion of Hindus who are vegetarian.
4. The holiest river in the world
The Ganges River runs 2,525 km from the northern Himalayas all the way to the Bay of Bengal. It is much more than a river to the one billion Hindus in India and beyond, however. It is their lifeblood. Not only does it provide sustenance in the form of fishing, industry and agriculture, it is also believed to transport the prayers of believers to heaven and a dip in the river is said to purify the soul. Many observant Hindus make a pilgrimage to Varanasi, India's oldest city, to participate in ceremonies or to cremate the dead along the banks of the Ganges. Hindus believe that if the ashes are washed away in the river, the soul is guaranteed to be transported to heaven and will escape the cycle of rebirth.
5. Rajasthan
The province of Rajasthan in the north of India conjures up images Maharajas and Moguls, of majestic forts and opulent palaces. It is said that there is more history in Rajasthan than all of India combined. This is a land of camels, precious jewels and stretching desert landscapes.
6. The beaches
India's palm-fringed southern beaches are the ideal escape from the frenetic pace of the north. While many of the popular beach destinations in Goa are now crowded, the state's southern, more remote beaches are quiet and more pristine. My favourites are Agonda and Palolem, about 90 minutes south of Goa's airport.
7. The chaos
Embracing the chaos is an important part of any trip to India! There will be endless traffic jams, crowded streets, delays, incessant honking of horns, swerving motorbikes and rickshaws and many invasions of personal space. Learning to relax, going with the flow and being at peace with things happening on 'Indian time' will facilitate a much deeper understanding of the nation and culture.
8. Religion and spirituality
In India, religion and spirituality are intricately intertwined with everyday life. India is home to all of the major religions of the world and is the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Observing the local people engaging in their daily rituals is a profoundly intimate experience. Many people also come to india to find spirituality, practising yoga or attending a meditation retreat in an ashram.
9. The history and architecture
India is an exceptionally beautiful and architecturally diverse country filled with forts, palaces, mosques, temples, monuments and ancient ruins. Home to the world's oldest civilisation, the architecture of India is rooted in its history, religion and culture. Architectural styles have evolved under the influence of countless dynasties as well as the colonial period. There are currently 32 UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites across the nation, making India a treasure trove for history buffs and design enthusiasts.
10. The adventure
No matter where you travel to in India, a keen sense of adventure follows you everywhere you go. Whether you're riding around the southern beaches of Goa on a Royal Enfield, trekking snow-capped mountains in the north, attempting to spot Bengal tigers and Indian elephants in the wild, or even just navigating the chaotic streets of Delhi, travelling to India is one big adventure!

I never had a family like I would have liked to have. My mother died when I was a child, and I can't even remember her face. My father left us with my grandmother for her to take care of us. Although she was good and reared us, she didn't give us the love that is usually given to one's children. So I grew up with very low self‑esteem....
I now have two daughters that I can't love the way I would like to, for my past haunts me. I know that this is bad because they are my daughters; but I don't know how to love them, since I never had the love of a mother.
I am sorry to hear about the emotional pain which naturally resulted from your mother's death. Every child needs the love of a mother, and I understand that you did not get that. However, none of us can change what happened to you. What we can change is what is happening to your daughters.
You say that you can't love them the way you would like to, because of your past. Clearly your past has affected who you have become, but it does not have to dictate your daily actions! Nor does it have to ruin your daughter's lives as it has ruined yours. No doubt it is more difficult for you to show love, yes, but is it impossible? Absolutely not!
You have a decision to make. Are you going to be weak and give in to feelings of self‑pity? Are you going to take the easy way of continuing to concentrate on your own pain? Or will you determine that your difficulties have made you strong — strong enough to focus on the needs of your daughters instead of your own? It's just a decision, but you have the opportunity to make it again, over and over, every morning.
It's not hard to love children. So hug them frequently. At least four times a day, tell them you love them. Listen to them. Read to them. Show interest in what they like. Attend all their school functions and sporting events. Provide positive reinforcement for their good choices and for their talents and skills. Say six positive things for every one negative thing. Make fair rules and enforce them with consistent and appropriate discipline. All of these actions say "love" to a child.
Instead of focusing on what you can't do, spend time doing what you can. No parent is perfect, so remember that you wouldn't do it perfectly even if you had grown up with a mother. Children don't really expect their parents to be perfect, but they do need to hear and be shown that they are loved.
I had a difficult childhood as well. My mother was alive, but she was inebriated much of the time. Her actions taught me how to lie, break promises, and embarrass, endanger, and neglect others. That is why I made a decision that I would never give my children that kind of childhood. I determined that I would use every ounce of my strength to be honest, keep my promises, protect, and spend quality time with my children. I certainly wasn't a perfect parent, and I made a lot of mistakes. But I know I did my best.
Do your best — every day!

Few sectors are able to leave a cultural and physical legacy like architecture
School of The Built Environment and Architecture
Our architects are creative, reflective, and resourceful - and highly capable of addressing the challenges of contemporary design, nationally, regionally, and internationally. Our degrees offer the professional awards of RIBA part 1, 2 and 3.
Qualifying and employability
In order to qualify as an architect, following successful completion of RIBA parts 1 and 2 you need to complete a minimum of two years' eligible professional experience, and then pass the final Professional Practice Examination (RIBA part 3). Architecture degrees at LSBU prepare you for future studies, and a fascinating career either as an architect, or in other design-related areas.
Graduates of BA (Hons) Architecture may apply for further study at postgraduate level on our Postgraduate Master in Architecture (RIBA Part 2) programme, or at any RIBA recognised school.
Architecture graduates from the BA (Hons) Architecture at LSBU have been accepted for further studies at prestigious national and international schools, including the Bartlett, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the Architectural Association, and the Royal College of Art.
The School's programmes of study are renowned across the built environment industry. Even when the economy has suffered, LSBU architecture graduates have proven resilient, and in demand by employers across a wide range of built environment activities.
We offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in architecture that are professionally validated by the RIBA, preparing architects for the RIBA part 3 Professional Practice examination (also available as part of our programme for those who have successfully completed RIBA parts 1 and 2). We also offer a unique specialist Masters degree, which focuses on digital design and robotic fabrication in architecture.
We also offer other architectural related courses in our Division of Construction, Property and Surveying.
BA (Hons) Architectural Assistant Apprenticeship - Architecture
Our courses in architecture are fully validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), and prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB).
Architecture degree professionally accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), forming the first step towards becoming a fully qualified architect.
MArch Architect Apprenticeship - Architecture
Our courses in architecture are fully validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
Accredited by the Royal British Institute of Architects (RIBA), this postgraduate diploma offers the professional award of RIBA Part 2. Course offered on a full-time and part-time basis.
PhD Architecture
A member of staff, expert in the chosen field, is directly responsible for guiding and supporting your research programme. Offered full-time and part-time.
Professional Practice Part 3 RIBA
This course prepares candidates who already have recognised RIBA Part 2 qualifications in Architecture with adequate professional experience in preparing for their Part 3 Professional Examination.
LSBU maintains dedicated studio spaces and specialised equipment for architecture students. From expansive, bespoke working space for both undergraduate and postgraduate architecture students to sophisticated hardware supporting advanced digital design and fabrication, LSBU is helping to transform the architecture industry through students' creative use of its facilities.
Architecture students' dedicated studio space is near the top of the Keyworth Building. Meanwhile, architectural centres at LSBU act as a hub for innovation, networking among practice experts and the general promotion of adopting BIM principles, advanced computational design, structural and spatial simulations, and robotic fabrication.
Facilities case studies
Architecture Design Studio
Dedicated studio spaces with inspirational views across the London landscape are used to develop students' skills and train the next generation of architects. The studios are used for individual tutorials, workshops, formal hand-drawing classes for first year students, seminars, and interim and final design juries, where students formally present their work to a panel of visiting guest critics drawn from all sectors of architecture and the fine arts.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) Centre
BIM is a collaborative approach across the whole design team to managing and planning every aspect of design and operation in the construction process in a more efficient way to improve the basis upon which industry professionals and their clients operate. The BIM Centre at LSBU acts as a hub for innovation, and professional training and networking amongst practice experts in the built environmental sector.
Digital Architecture Robotic Lab (DARLab)
This advanced digital manufacturing robotic lab is designed for high quality design, research, and fabrication as well as developing commercial applications for architecture. This is achieved by using an industrial robotic arm in combination with quick change plates, which are able to easily modify the configuration of cells depending on the process to be applied. LSBU is one of the few schools of architecture offering these facilities, which represent a unique opportunity for students to undertand and test the connections between digital design, fabrication prototyping, and large scale manufacture.
Accessing our facilities
Facilities, students and staff feature regularly in our knowledge transfer and consultation activities with industry. Read more about how the School works with business at LSBU.
Each member of staff has a strong track record of professional practice, academic research and publication, design expertise, and critical thinking about architecture.
