Belarus expels Polish and EU ambassadors over sanctions row
Alexander Lukashenko's regime has reacted furiously to a decision by EU foreign ministers to extend sanctions

Belarus, Europe's most authoritarian regime, has embarked on a collision course with the rest of Europe by expelling Polish and EU ambassadors and recalling its envoys from Brussels and Warsaw in protest over sanctions.
The regime of Alexander Lukashenko responded with characteristic robustness to a decision by EU foreign ministers to extend sanctions against scores of Belarussian politicians and officials. Those targeted had been identified as playing a role in crushing dissent, jailing opposition activists and trampling on civil liberties.
"Dictator starts burning the last bridges. Normally does not end well," tweeted the Swedish foreign minister, Carl Bildt, who, along with his Polish counterpart, Radek Sikorski, has been the most ardent advocate of an EU hardline on Minsk.
Poland was targeted for retaliation by Lukashenko because it has sought to focus EU foreign policy on Belarus and Ukraine, its eastern neighbours.
The EU foreign ministers blacklisted a further 21 Belarussian officials. These consisted mainly of judges and police officers for their role in repression, bringing the blacklist total to more than 200. They are subject to a visa ban and are not permitted to travel to the EU. In addition, any assets they have in the EU are frozen.
A prominent Belarussian oligarch and football club owner viewed as a financier of the regime, however, was kept off the blacklist. This was at the insistence of Slovenia, where a local business has won lucrative contracts for building a luxury hotel in Minsk.
"It is sad for the EU [that] economic interests of one member are more important than the need to influence the Belarussian authorities to release political prisoners," Sikorski said.
The EU's sanctions regime has been phased in since rigged elections more than a year ago. During the elections several opposition rivals of Lukashenko were arrested and jailed. A further 600 people were arrested for protesting about the election fraud.
"Pressure and sanctions are unacceptable," said the Belarussian foreign ministry.
Russia's outgoing president, Dmitry Medvedev, last week joined Lukashenko in protesting at the EU sanctions against Belarus.

Influenced by the work of Muybridge and Jean Etienne Marey, these photographs are the result of an afternoon's collaboration between myself and Muriel Maffre, former principal dancer with SF Ballet in 2011. The spontaneous sequential exposures were combined to record a trajectory of dance movements.
I combined some of these sequences with images I had taken at other locations to create visual narrative fictions. I am particularly interested in the medium's ability to freeze time and capture myriad spatial viewpoints, walking that thin line that separates still photography from cinema.

Hi people from the internet. After posting my geometry creation tutorial for Houdini, people approached me with the question, if such a plexus effect is possible in Cinema 4D, too. And I said no, not without plugins. But after thinking about it for a little while, I found a solution to do this with Cinema4D off-the-shelf tools. I'm using the ParticlePassAB node to find the closest points and Python to create the geometry. So if you're interested in having a closer look on an old but powerful TP feature, this tutorial is for you.
I was thinking of doing the same thing in Python but couldn't think of an easy way of getting the closest points, but this seems to be the way to go!
And I believe it should also be possible to automate the Connect + Delete step by putting all splines into a Connect Object and collapse it within Python. Or do you know of another way of adding segments to a Spline?
the problem with the connect object is probably that it'll take a long time to connect all the splines. Other than that it'll work. It's of course possible to add segments to a spline directly. You can do so by calling ResizeObject() after the spline creation and tell it how many segments it should have. Then you'll use SetSegment() to set the individual segments. The problem with the setup from the tutorial is that you are inside of a Xpresso iteration. And that means you don't know the segment information at any given time. What you would want to do is to write the closest point information to a sequential string attribute. This can be used in a python generator to create the splines afterwards. This would allow for removing the doubles as a side effect.
Firstly, great tutorial. However I have hit a snag.
Everything seemed to be working fine but once I had added all of the data into the Python Editor then nothing seems to happen.
I have actually run through the tutorial twice now to double check to see if I had made a simple mistake along the way. Is there any way you would be able to look at my file to see if there is something simple I have done wrong? Then if there is anything I could do to repay the favour I would be happy to, a collaboration perhaps?
Hi Craig, send it to mail[at]entagma[dot]com and I will have a look if my time allows.
Danke Manuel for making me a bit smarter today!
well explained and snatched more from my Python restraint!
also took just a couple more steps to create a rig and replacing all kinds of plugins.
Sounds cool. Do you want to share?
I can't quite get it to work.
I see you created a second particle group but can't see where you used it.
The second particle group was left over from some previous experiments accidentally, and was not used in the setup.
Thanks for this great tutorial! Unfortunately like Craig I did this tutorial two times and I am also not getting any network of splines. Splines are being generated but they all have the same position.
Would you be so kind and either check my File or provide a working example?
I will upload an example file asap.
I've added a demo scene above.
Thanks a lot Manuel! I can't wait to see new tutorials from you guys!
Thank you for the great tutorial, I haven't worked much with xpresso or python within c4d, and was still able to follow along and understand the process.
I was just wondering if you might be able to suggest a natural looking method of animating the growth of the sweep from a single point of origin across the whole object? Currently animating the sweep results in a spread out growth from all the individual particle points. The only other thing I can think of is converting to object and using a boole or using an animated black and white texture as a matte across the object.
I think I posted a comment before saying that everything ran perfectly…. but anyways I would like to thank you again for the tutorial, I am not myself very good with xpresso neither python because I am not good at them but I am curious on how they work, this tut it´s a very good start to learn and understand both, I enjoyed a lot and it triggered some interesting ideas, too powerful. Thanks a lot! you can check the results on my website.
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Am really keen to use xpresso more but tutorials seem to be like gold dust. This was really easy to follow and informative about what the different nodes were for.
…then continue with the script as shown.
Hi Manuel, excellent tutorial. I'm having trouble rendering the files in Octane the Standard renderer seems to work fine. Is there any tips to minimize the geo? Thanks for the shared knowledge!

We offer a range of services that includes repair and restoration.
In most rugs, the first areas that wear are the sides and edges as they receive the most traffic. We match worn spots with over 200 colors of wool and cotton. If we do not have the exact color, we dye it with all-natural dyes. In more complicated areas, such as the field of the rug, we do a reweave, which is complicated but well worth it to save a fine rug.
We first test a small area to make sure there is no color run. We start with cold water, gradually increasing the temperature. We then immerse the rug in warm water and scrub it with organic solvents. We moth-proof with an organic, non-toxic mixture, then hang the rug in a hot room for two days until it's dry. It's then placed outside in the cool air. Our rugs are returned smelling fresher than ever.
We have cleaned, repaired, and sold rugs to numerous celebrity clientele. In fact, we are celebrity recommended and approved. We offer impeccable, discreet service for our high-profile celebrity clientele.
We have a superior extraction process for removing urine and pet odors, and are top-rated for our ability to remove difficult pet odors and urine stains from our client's rugs. Our natural process removes allergens and dander and restores the beauty to our client's rugs.
Spills and 'oopsies' happen. If you have children, it's time to think about regular rug cleaning. We use biodegradable, natural cleaning solutions and are experts in mildew, mold, and stain removal.
We understand your time is valuable and you've got a lot to do. We come directly to you to streamline the process and make your life easier.


The Bay Area music scene is astoundingly rich. It's as deep as that belonging to any city in the country, even New York, and it's far more diverse than most.
A concert-goer could be out on the scene seven-nights a week and still only scratch the surface all that's available. The majority of live music fans, to be blunt, don't even try to soak up all the colorful offerings.
Raise your hand if you frequented the same three or four night spots – out of the hundreds that exist in the Bay Area – during the last 12 months. Keep it raised if those few venues were the same ones you visited in 2007.
If we were to repeat that exercise, tweaking its focus from venues to performers, chances are the results would be the same. In other words, the musical acts that you paid to see in 2008 were likely ones that you'd seen before.
This story – a musical version of "Groundhog Day," if you will – doesn't have to repeat in 2009. We're only a few days into the New Year, which means there's still time to make a decision to change some concert-going habits.
To help with that cause, we've come up with a list of musical resolutions for live-music fans. Some are totally serious, others a bit silly, but all of them are aimed at deepening the concert-going experience. Feel free to use any of these resolutions, or come up with your own – which we'd love to see, so please post them.
We hope these resolutions will help you kick off your New Year on the right musical note. And, most importantly, put down your hands – you look like you're trying to hail a cab!
Dave Scott, Mike Olmos and other trumpeters star in Jazzschool's annual Holiday Concert, 4:30 p.m., Dec. 21, Jazzschool, Berkeley, $15, 866-384-3060, www.jazzschool.com.
Susan Muscarella, the executive director of Berkeley's beloved Jazzschool, has a nice sense of humor.
My favorite line of hers, one that I often steal and credit as my own, is that perhaps Jazzschool should have been originally named "the Boston School of Music in Berkeley," in an obvious wink to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston.
To me, that's hysterical – which probably tells you all you need to know about my sense of humor. In retrospect, however, Muscarella definitely picked the right name when she founded Jazzschool back in 1997: It's succinct, catchy and to the point. It serves as an apt description for a place that teaches jazz through lecture classes, workshops and one-on-one instruction.
The multi-talented Bay Area musician Wayne Wallace, an accomplished trombonist, arranger, producer and band leader, is set to celebrate the release of his new CD "Infinity" with two local shows.
Helping out in the cause will be Wallace's band mates; pianist Murray Low, bassist David Belove, percussionist Michael Spiro and drummer Paul van Wageningen.


From Allison Williams to Sofia Vergara, there has been a lot of bling on celebrity ring fingers lately. You know you want a closer look.
We love Julianne Hough's oval-cut stunner, which has been reported to be valued at more than $350,000. The sweetest part about it can't even be seen: it's said to have the "Dancing with the Stars" judge's initials with a heart in diamonds on the back.
Newlywed Allison Williams has a simple-yet-classic round-cut stone that pairs nicely with her own natural, simple-yet-classic beauty.
It's hard to argue that size doesn't matter when you're dazzled by a cushion-cut rock as big as Sofia Vergara's.
How unique is Nikki Reed's ring? We love how it manages to balance strikingness with uniqueness in an antique-style setting; the round diamond surrounded by smaller ones conjures an old-school flower.
Lady Gaga's style seems to change every time we see her, but this nice-sized heart-shaped diamond will always be in fashion.
Jennifer Hudson's engagement ring is as one-of-a-kind and beautiful as she is. It's been described as a "halo" cut, as two circles of smaller diamonds surround a 5-carat round-cut stone.
Iggy Azalea's engagement ring from NBA star Nick Young is estimated to be worth $500,000, which is no surprise: the 10-carat yellow diamond wrapped with dozens of smaller white diamonds could probably be seen from space (not scientifically proven).
Courteney Cox has been a little shy about showing off her ring from her rocker fiance, Johnny McDaid, but we like what we can see of its antique-three stone look.
Actor Robert Pattinson picked out a ring for FKA Twigs that's as unique as the style (and name) of his fiance. It's described as "bow shaped" with a pear-shaped diamond as the centerpiece.
We throw around the word "unique" quite a bit when we're discussing engagement rings, but Ashlee Simpson's vintage-inspired ring takes the unique cake. And it''s said to feature 140 diamonds!
Alison Brie is one of the most likable actresses in the business right now, and so is her darling round-cut engagement ring from Dave Franco (yes, James' brother!). The rose gold is a nice, unexpected touch.

Michael Jackson Tops Forbes' List Of 'Highest-Earning Dead Celebrities'...Again
16 October 2014, 08:56 | Updated: 16 October 2014, 09:30
The King of Pop has topped the list once again with $140 million in earnings.
Michael Jackson has been named the world's top earning dead celebrity of 2014.
The King of Pop's estate has earned $140m so far this year. According to Forbes, Jackson made almost three times as much as Elvis Presley, who made $55 million in earnings over the same 12-month period (still pretty impressive!)
Jackson's estate made the fortune thanks to his second posthumous album release Xscape, which went straight in at number two in the charts. He also 'appeared' on stage as a hologram at the Billboard Music Awards.
Elvis got there was on the hologram front though; he already had his own concert tour using the technology in 2012. There are also plans to set up the hologram show in.
Also featuring on the list are Elizabeth Taylor, who earned $25m thanks to her best-selling perfume and Bob Marley came in at fifth with an estimated $20 million.
Forbes compiled the list in conjunction with estate managers, agents, music publishers and other insiders, coming up with estimates of what each estate brought in between October 2013 and October 2014.

VENLAY Restorations inventor sees an uptick in global clients - along with a surge of copycat dental services trying to mimic his exclusive trademarked method.
LOS ANGELES, CA, August 11, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- An all-encompassing health care approach marks today's most progressive health care providers, says California's Dr. Sam Muslin, a proponent of non-invasive dentistry and the developer of Anti-aging Face Lift Dentistry .
"You look your best when you feel your best," says Dr. Muslin, who has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and on The Doctors TV show. "Increasing interest reflects the changing face of today's consumer, who demands authentic and convenient health alternatives. Patients fly in from across the country and around the globe to get this exclusive treatment. They arrive with multiple health challenges as premature aging, worn down teeth and some tell me that jaw surgery and braces were the only choices they'd been given."
Today's potential clients are interested in diagnostics and therapeutic options. They want to know what the outcome potential is before treatment is completed and you cannot do it with surgery or braces, explains Dr. Sam Muslin.
"Dental professionals, who have changed with the times, recognize that the patient is more than just a mouth with teeth. Patients have done their research, and they want their youthful appearance back."
Dr. Muslin's Santa Monica office works to improve patients' overall health, using meticulous health assessment, preventive applications, the latest equipment and materials - such as ultra-thin, patent-pending VENLAY restorations - and restorative dentistry to idealize the bite to the facial structures, reduce sleeping problems, increase breathing ability and to eliminate TMJ pain along with head and neck stress.
"Face Lift Dentistry has revolutionized how we treat patients," says Dr. Muslin, who has been in the field of dentistry for more than 35 years. "It's a non-surgical, no-tooth grind, health-centric approach ushering in The New Age of Non-Invasive Dentistry."
Patients, including those from Hollywood to mail carriers, nurses, doctors and business professionals are particularly interested in Dr. Muslin's practice because he offers non-invasive treatment for bite dysfunction that doesn't require the long-term commitment or the risk of jaw surgery and braces. In addition, Dr. Muslin will not grind down natural teeth when correcting the bite with his VENLAY Restorations.
"Savvy baby boomers and millennials don't want braces, face lifts, injections, or their jaws broken," explains Dr. Muslin. "They don't want their teeth ground to nubs either. Consumers want timely relief and long-lasting health benefits. They want to be able to chew their food, sleep better look and feel attractive. This treatment is not just a 'smile lift' with veneers - something other cosmetic dentists advertise as 'age reversing dentistry.' Face Lift Dentistry is actually good for the health of the patient. It replaces worn tooth enamel, helps patients speak clearly, and addresses jaw pain. Yes, the cosmetic benefits are dramatically improved, but more importantly, the patient feels better physically and emotionally."
During client consultation, Dr. Muslin evaluates face shape, speech, profile and bite mechanics, using complex motion tomography. He can actually see the most ideal jaw position for his patients. He checks for decay and irregular chewing. He studies the skin for wrinkles and loss of underlying support. Infection, gum disease and bone loss are addressed first, and then bite correction is implemented. Old fillings, mismatched veneers and crowns are replaced, using VENLAY Restorations on the healthy teeth to whiten and reshape natural teeth, support the jaw, and create a cohesive smile.
"Anti-aging Face Lift Dentistry has transformed the lives of many people," says Dr. Muslin, who pioneered non-surgical bite and profile correction. "My clients can have their bad bites corrected, giving them a better profile and younger look without a scalpel in sight. Necklines and chins look better, headaches go away, and self-confidence improves."
Consumers are so interested in Dr. Muslin's Face-lift Dentistry that his website (www.faceliftdentistry.com) scores more than 1,000 visitors each day. Clients' YouTube testimonials get tens of thousands of documented views. The demand is so high that Dr. Muslin has announced his new training for dentists at the Face Lift Dentistry Academy in Beverly Hills. Qualified dentists may register for consideration for this exclusive continuing education opportunity by filling out the online Face Lift Dentistry training contact form.
With the Face Lift Dentistry method, bites are corrected three-dimensionally to maximize health while improving facial profiles, chin size, speech and smiles. Neck tension and stress from poor jaw position are reversed to address signs of premature aging: wrinkles, yellowed broken teeth, a sunken mouth, shortened upper teeth, and an inwardly collapsing face. VENLAY Restorations are used to build the teeth in all the right places to correct open bites, overbites and under bites. The treatment optimizes the proportions of the patient's face and chin by ideally positioning the lower jaw to coordinate with the patient's facial structures.
To read more about Dr. Sam Muslin's dentistry and to see his most recent case study photos, that are untouched and unaltered, visit the Face Lift Dentistry website or his YouTube channel. For consultation, call (310) 829-6796.

Is your IT group struggling in the effort to become a strategic partner to the business?
If nothing changes, nothing changes.
Creating IT Value
By Peter Bendor-Samuel, Contributor, CIO	 Sep 20, 2016 10:00 am PDT
I've been observing the efforts of CIOs and IT groups trying to transform their service delivery so that it addresses the strategic needs of the business stakeholders. It's encouraging that this is happening. But I find that many struggle trying to achieve that partnering vision. Obviously, you can't just communicate a change and then hope for the best. But that's often what happens if the right structure isn't put in place.
There's an old maxim that if nothing changes, nothing changes. It's applicable to situations where organizations try to achieve new objectives. Peter Drucker modernized the maxim, advising that "If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old." And there's the root cause of the problem in which IT is struggling to reassert itself as a leader in the organization. The organizational structure and philosophies and mindsets must change; otherwise they will hinder the change.
Organizational structure is a powerful influence on planning, leading and controlling. The structure influences the ease or challenges in change and performance. It can enable being more responsive to change, being proactive rather than reactive. The organizational structure either allows and supports new ideas, new mindsets, new business models … or it gets in the way of achieving objectives.
Diagnosing the problem
Let's first diagnose the problem so that you, as CIO, can act upon it and remove the impediment to achieving your goal of IT and the business partnering.
What's at the core of business users' dissatisfaction with IT? I can answer that question with one word: speed. As I've blogged before, business users are increasingly frustrated with the slow pace of the IT department to change according to the business needs.
But the business is also frustrated with the cost of IT services. Companies have been implementing new infrastructure through shared services and IT groups to reduce costs for many years. Cheaper computers and cloud computing, for example. But the fact is although these incremental tactics can change the unit cost of IT (for instance, the cost of storage or the cost of computers), they don't change the speed. They don't make IT more responsive to the business needs.
Every CIO and every third-party service provider understands this need to be more responsive. Yet most of them continue to attack this challenge by tinkering with technology tools and how they use the technology. But speed and responsiveness have very little to do with the actual technology; it has to do with the organization delivering the technology and the pace at which it can navigate across IT's functional disciplines.
Diagnosis: not recognizing that it's the organizational structure that slows down the speed. So companies keep applying the same techniques and organization structure to the problem of managing IT. As I said at the outset, if nothing changes in the organization, nothing changes in the speed.
Remedy: IT's structure must change
The remedy for attacking the slow speed is to change the IT organizational structure from one based on functions (such as apps, security, servers, etc.) to one based on services.
When I observe companies that have successfully dealt with this issue, I find that they've implemented new organizational structures. Yes, they moved to an elastic cloud infrastructure. Yes, they standardized on software. And, yes, this has incrementally helped them get faster. But what really created a breakthrough is when they reorganized IT into service lines that focused on the specific service, not on the functional services.
This realignment of the organization into cross-functional teams allows the DevOps or as-a-service models to dramatically change the responsiveness with which they are able to apply technologies, the speed at which they are able to develop and maintain technologies, and the ability and satisfaction of the business to use those tools in a dynamic, changing marketplace.
Inconveniently, this is the most difficult thing to do. It's much easier to buy new technology or migrate a workflow to a cloud environment than it is to change the way a company fundamentally organizes its shared services or IT group and align it by end-to-end business service expertise rather than by IT function.
Reorganizing the structure changes the status quo. It affects the existing management structure as well as the current incentive structures. Furthermore, since companies' IT metrics have been designed from a functional perspective, reorganizing the structure necessitates building new metrics based on running IT from a business services perspective.
This level of change is very painful for businesses. But as long as nothing changes, nothing changes and companies will get the same unsatisfying results from incremental improvements to functions.

This past February RadioShack, an American electronics retail chain, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The corporation is said to have baffled investors for years on how it managed to stay in business for so long, as its competitors, such as Apple, almost have a monopoly on the technology sold by Radio Shack. Eventually, the "changing technology and consumer habits" proved to be too much of a blow to conquer for the company and it was forced to file for bankruptcy. However, the future for RadioShack is not completely bleak. It has reached many settlements with other corporations such as Sprint and a decision has been made to keep many of its stores open.
The inconsistent economy and always changing developments finally dealt RadioShack a battle they could not win. Bankruptcy is a solution for years of hardships and difficult decisions, and is dealt with daily by hardworking people with unfortunate circumstances. A bankruptcy lawyer understands these conditions and can help anyone struggling. Call Elaine Fridlin, of Fridlin & Associates, at 718-372-4400 for a free consultation.

Hitler Youth Pope Visits Auschwitz on 61st Anniversary
PV January 27, 2006 2 min read
Has everyone else forgotten that this Pope was a member of Bavarian Hitler Youth? They seem to approve of his anti gay, anti woman, semi racist policies. Is this offensive to anyone besides me?
OSWIECIM, Poland (Reuters) – Survivors of the most infamous Nazi death camp, Auschwitz, on Friday marked the 61th anniversary of its liberation and looked to a May visit there by German-born Pope Benedict as a sign of healing.
"No one can pass indifferently by the tragedy of the Shoah. This crime has stained all humankind, for all time," said Polish Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz, using
the Hebrew word for the Nazi attempt to exterminate the Jews.
More than 1.5 million people died at Auschwitz-Birkenau, set up by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland as its most efficient killing machine in the "Final Solution", the genocide of European Jews.
More than one million Jews were killed there, along with Gypsies, Poles and Russians.
At the sombre ceremony, Marcinkiewicz warned that hatred and anti-Semitism were still dangers.
"And still today the world must defend itself against people obsessed with hatred," he said.
The commemoration was held a day after Poland's President, Lech Kaczynski, met the Pope and then confirmed that Benedict would stop at Auschwitz during his visit to Poland in May.
"The visit of a German Pope brings a certain closure — when I was here in the camp, I thought that there was no God. And now the German Pope is coming here," said Denis Karagiorga, a Greek Jew, more than 80 years old.
But no-one underestimated the significance the Pope's visit could have.
"It's very difficult for me to talk about the visit of Pope Benedict to Auschwitz, because during the war my whole family died at the hands of the Germans — only my brother was left," said former prisoner Wladyslaw Szepelak, more than 70 years old.
"But perhaps there are times when it's better to forget, to think about the future and not to live in what happened 60 years ago," he added.

The only thing that truly matters in the current music landscape is a fresh outlook, innate talent and a special kind of creativity that can transcend music genres and other pointless barriers. OD Hunte is in the right place when it comes to these qualities, as brilliantly showcased by his new production effort #Limitless. This track vividly portrays OD's fondness for straightforward, direct and infectious melodies, combined with a rich and detailed sound production value. On a sonic level, #Limitless brings back the best of old school analog electronics together with a modern perspective on electronic music production, characterized by multi-layered synth work, including tight bass lines and roomy textures. The song is enriched a step further by the use of glitchy vocal loops that create the melody. Although this single was created by OD with the main purpose of promoting his skills as a music producer and arranger of original backing tracks and instrumentals, #Limitless is far more than a simple showcase of technicality and expertise. This is a true art project, not only because of the emotional strength of the tune itself, but also for the visual appeal of the stunning video that comes with the song, truly enhancing the ethereal storytelling feel of the tune and bringing more depth to the whole concept.

Villages in Mahendragarh district


Mt Hood is renowned for year-round skiing and snowboarding, and countless miles of hiking and biking trails. Most people visit during the winter and summer months to enjoy these activities. What these folks are missing out on only happens in the fall, and it is such a spectacular occurrence we want to share it with Mt Hood Vacation Rental guests…the brilliant fall foliage! As the seasons transition from summer to autumn, the days get shorter and leaves change from green to the many colors of fall—gold, amber, red, orange and even pink. Once winter is in full swing, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis, and the leaves dry up and fall to the ground. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer.
Besides evergreens, the Mt Hood National Forest is full of vine maples, oak, huckleberry and Oregon grapes shrubs with colors that strike a remarkable contrast to the dark greens of Douglas fir and hemlock in the fall. Vine maples, in particular, show off the brightest and most diverse color spectrum, from deep dark red to the most vivid yellow.
For a magnificent, sweeping view of the Welches Valley and the abundant autumn colors of the Mt Hood National Forest, hike up Hunchback Mountain, accessible from the Zigzag Ranger Station. While it is a somewhat strenuous hike up (an hour each way), you will be well-rewarded with sweeping views of the colorful valley and the Salmon River below once you reach the top. For a more relaxed experience, meander along the Old Salmon River Trail and watch as the fall leaves float peacefully into and down the Salmon River while the salmon are spawning.
To experience Mt Hood's fall foliage from the comforts of your car, cruise along the Mt Hood Scenic Byway and the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Byway, which join to create a breathtaking loop around Mt Hood. Fall colors are particularly glorious through Hood River Valley, on Highway 35 between Government Camp and Hood River as you drive from forest to field. Take breaks along the Hood River County Fruit Loop at the many orchards and wineries that dot the beautiful landscape, and watch apple, pear and grape harvest in full swing before tasting the fruits of the farms' labors. Apples, pears, cider and other fall harvest fruits and vegetables are available for sale at many locations.
If curling up in the front of a blazing fire with a good book and gazing out the window at the leaves falling is more your style, Mt Hood Vacation Rentals' fall special continues until Thanksgiving! Stay in one of our warm and inviting homes for 4 nights and you will get your 3rd night half off and 4th night free.

Wealth and knowledge drive bushmeat consumption during the West African Ebola crisis

Bushmeat, or wild animal meat, is an essential source of protein for many people in tropical regions. But handling and eating bushmeat carries the risk of contracting diseases, such as Ebola virus disease (EVD). During the latest and largest ever recorded Ebola crisis, household income and specific knowledge about the risks of eating bushmeat were linked to changes in its consumption, researchers report in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases. Although bushmeat consumption in Liberia generally decreased during the crisis, preferences for bushmeat remained constant.
Bushmeat is commonly consumed in West Africa, and may include species such as bats, nonhuman primates, cane rats, pangolins, and duikers. The harvesting and butchering of these wild meats have been identified as potential spill-over sources of EVD outbreaks, although it is human-to-human transmission that causes epidemics to rapidly expand. Studies have previously found that reasons to eat bushmeat vary between areas, with food security driving bushmeat consumption in impoverished rural areas, and low cost, taste, and perception of prestige being important factors for urban consumers.
Isabel Ordaz-Németh, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, and colleagues used data from two household interview surveys conducted across Liberia before and during the EVD epidemic, to study the link between socio-economic status and changes in bushmeat consumption. Data were available on the frequency of bushmeat consumption, the number of meals eaten per day, the types of foods that were eaten, and the preferences for specific bushmeat species.
Overall, bushmeat consumption decreased during the Ebola crisis; before the outbreak 81 percent of households reported that a typical meal included bushmeat, but only 16.5 percent of households reported the same during the outbreak. However, bushmeat consumption dropped less in wealthier households compared to poorer households. And while there was no effect of literacy or education on bushmeat consumption during the EVD crisis, household heads were less likely to eat bushmeat if they knew that Ebola could be contracted from the meat. The study also found that daily meal frequency generally decreased, and preferences for bushmeat species remained constant, suggesting that, even though people consumed less bushmeat, it does not mean that they did not like it anymore.
"It is imperative to identify the underlying drivers of bushmeat consumption to develop more effective, targeted conservation management strategies," the researchers say. "Such strategies must aim to reduce the unsustainable harvest of bushmeat whilst improving human livelihoods and lowering the risk of zoonotic disease transmissions, such as EVD."

Q: Radgrid to Excel import after applying data validation on certain columns I am using Telerik:radgrid with all columns types as 'Telerik:GridBoundColumn'. I need to export radgrid's data to excel file after applying data validation. Before exporting this file to client i would like to convert some of Excel columns fields into drop down lists. So that user might be forced to select data from drop down list instead of entering wrong data. What would be the best way to accomplish this task ?

A:
If you are using an Html based export format (default one) the TextBox
  text should be exported automatically. Regards the issue with
  extorting RadComboBox control a possible solution is to add a Label
  which will be hidden, but its Text will be the same as the selected
  value of the RadComboBox. This way when you export the grid you will
  switch the visibility of both controls and the exported document will
  contains all the ComboBox values.

Debate resurfaces over Douglas County's long-sounding siren and area's "Sundowner Town" past
By Mike Stefansson
Published: Aug. 20, 2020 at 6:23 PM PDT
MINDEN, Nev. (KOLO) - A longtime tradition in Douglas County is once again under scrutiny, this time during a year in which racism and social injustice are at the forefront of current events.
Since the 1920s, a siren has sounded from the fire department in Minden at both noon and 6 p.m. For many locals, it's a daily noise they've grown attached to.
"This was farm land," said Pam, a Douglas County resident since 1983 who elected not to share her last name. "It went off an noon because it was lunchtime and it went off at six because the day was done and it was time to go home."
Minden town manager JD Frisby says the siren was created for emergencies and sounded twice a day as a test.
"There's a lot of sentimental feelings nostalgic to that siren," said Frisby.
On the other side, the Washoe Tribe says the evening siren was connected to the town's "sundowner" ordinances, which called for Indians to be out of town by sunset. The ordinances, passed in 1908 in Gardnerville and extended county-wide in 1917, weren't repealed until the 70s.
"Skins, it's time to go home," said Wyatt Vernon, an 82-year-old member of the Washoe People. "Get out of town."
Serrell Smokey is the Chairman of the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California. He says part of his platform while running included addressing the siren.
"It symbolizes one, racism, because that's why it was created," said Smokey. "Two, oppression."
The siren is now controlled by the town of Minden. Frisby, who assumed the role of Town Manager in 2018, says he believes there was an unintended connection between the "sundowner" ordinances and the siren.
"There's no doubt in my mind that there was a psychological tie to the siren going off 30 minutes before they were supposed to be out of town," said Firsby, calling the ordinances a "black eye" in their history. "But that's not the intent of the siren."
The debate over the siren has gained momentum after an online petition was created by Matt Niswonger, a Santa Cruz, Calif. resident who has property and family in Douglas County. In under two weeks, the petition had nearly 10-thousand signatures.
"Is this something that should go on in 2020 America?" said Niswonger. "Or is this something from the past that we want to be in the past?"
This is not a new topic of discussion. In 2006, the Washoe Tribe fought the sounding of the siren and it was turned off. Frisby says it was silenced due to maintenance. Once residents expressed their displeasure, it was turned back on.
The county then established a resolution saying the siren now sounds to "honor first responders."
"There's a form of respect there," said Firsby. "It's almost like when it goes off, it's a moment of silence."
But for the Washoe People, there will never be another meaning to the siren which to them represents the area's ugly, unjust past.
"You can't get rid of racism, that's very apparent," said Carnegie Smokey, Jr., a longtime member of the Washoe Tribe. "But you can get rid of the trappings of it, and that's the siren."
"We're in a time now where we need to recognize this stuff is unacceptable," said Smokey.
The Town of Minden controls the siren and any changes would have to come in the form of an agenda item and vote by the town board. Frisby says he's open to having conversations with the Washoe Tribe.
