It's often said that the unique qualities of Champagne, Chablis, Burgundy and many wines from the Loire owe much to the common bed of chalky soil of these four regions, commonly known as Kimmeridgian clay (or marl). The dominant component of this soil is limestone, the popular name for calcium carbonate CaCO3; you will probably meet it most often as the limescale in your kettle. It's the remains of marine shells that many microscopic algae acquire as protection, as well as larger shells from molluscs and shellfish. As these creatures die the shells sink to the ocean floor and over time a sedimentary layer build ups – that's limestone. This whole area of France was once a vast tropical sea that also encompassed southern England.
Exactly why this soil helps produce great wine is not fully understood. Chalky soils can help in many ways: by reflecting light and heat onto the underside of the vine, and by retaining moisture yet providing good drainage. Also, limestone is alkaline, which is why, sadly, corals are dissolving as oceans become increasingly acidic from industrial pollution. Yet it seems that this alkaline soil helps impart refreshing acidity to the grape juice, as well as an attractive 'mineral' taste to the wines.
So we will blithely ignore Aussie rules and return to France. How far does this soil extend? The interesting boundary is the one to the north. Kimmeridge is an English village on the Dorset coast which lends its name because this was where this rock was first categorised. So clearly the seam extends north under the Channel. Yet the cliffs at Kimmeridge display a lot of grey and brown from bitumen and other minerals, and there is an oil-field nearby, in fact the oldest working oil-field in Britain. What about the white cliffs of Dover, which are a lot closer to Champagne than is Kimmeridge? Yes, they are all part of the same chalky seam.
But it doesn't stop at the south coast. Kimmeridgian clay underlies Britain's much more famous oil and gas field, the one under the North Sea. I realised this when I visited the annual Seafood Festival held every May in the Norfolk coastal towns of Cromer and Sheringham. The main attraction is the myriad fishermen's stalls serving freshly steamed crab and lobster, which are raised in pots on the chalk seams offshore.
How do these seams connect to the Channel coast? The answer explains a lot about the increasing success of English sparkling wine. The chalk comes ashore both north of The Wash into Yorkshire (the Humber bridge rests on it) and to the south into Norfolk. From there it runs south-west across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire, where it is most prominent as the Chiltern Hills and the nearby Uffington White Horse. Then into Wiltshire and south through Dorset to Kimmeridge where it forms the 'Jurassic coast'.
In fact the seam splits in Wiltshire into three legs. The westerly leg is the one that leads to Kimmeridge, another runs east through Surrey and Kent forming the North Downs and then the white cliffs of Dover, while the middle one crosses Sussex forming the South Downs. Here are found many of England's finest producers of sparkling wine, including Denbies on the North Downs and Nyetimber and Ridgeview on the South Downs.
All three legs extend under the Channel to France and in fact they meet up south of Paris to form a complete loop. On the way this loop passes through Champagne, Chablis and Burgundy. Then westwards to Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre on the Loire, where the limestone is mixed with flint and sand to form the local 'silex' that contributes to these appellations' fine, smokey, Sauvignon Blanc.

27 F.2d 838 (9th Cir. 1928), 5425, Concrete Mixing & Conveying Co. v. R.C. Storrie & Co.
Party Name: CONCRETE MIXING & CONVEYING CO. v. R. C. STORRIE & CO. [1]
CONCRETE MIXING & CONVEYING CO.
R. C. STORRIE & CO. 1
Lynn A. Williams, Clifford C. Bradbury, and Albert G. McCaleb, all of Chicago, Ill., for appellant.
Chas. E. Townsend, of San Francisco, Cal., for appellee.
The appellant brought a suit, alleging infringement of claims 1, 2, 17, 18, 24, 29, and 35 of patent No. 1,127,660, issued February 9, 1915, to John H. McMichael, assignor, for a 'method of, and an apparatus for, transporting and treating concrete. ' The application was filed January 14, 1907, and was pending in the Patent Office more than 8 years. As originally filed, the application was for 'improvements in apparatus for transporting granular and plastic building material, such as sand, plaster, mortar, and concrete. ' The apparatus as patented consists of a vertical closed cylinder, tapering toward the base to discharge into a U-bend connected with a conduit having an air nozzle at the top of the cylinder and an air nozzle near the entrance to the U-bend, each separately controlled, under pressure of which the concrete material in the chamber is forced through the conduit and carried to the point where it is to be deposited. It was claimed that the appellee infringed by use of the device described in letters patent No. 1,619,297, issued March 1, 1927, to Roy C. Hackley, for a 'concrete gun,' which consists of a horizontally disposed oblong tank, ovoid in cross-section, with the narrow portion disposed downwardly, and with a tapering nozzle, to which is connected a discharge pipe for conveying the concrete. Air pressure is furnished by four air supply pipes, extending within and along the bottom of the container, and terminating at different points intermediate the ends of the tank, pinto the pipe which terminates nearest the exit the air is first admitted, and thereafter into the others in their order, until all the concrete is driven into the discharge pipe. In the specifications it is said that the pipe which terminates near the nozzle insures that pressure shall always be present there, directing the concrete into the discharge pipe, and that the remaining pipes serve to advance the body of concrete along the bottom of the tank, until the tank is completely emptied. The containers in both the appellant's and the appellee's patents are filled with concrete through openings in the top, which are then closed by air-tight lids.
At the close of the trial the court below found the appellant's patent anticipated and invalid, and that, even conceding its validity, it had not been infringed by the appellee. Concrete Mixing & Conveying Co. v. R. C. Storrie & Co., 23 F.2d 131.
Before GILBERT, RUDKIN, and DIETRICH, Circuit Judges.
GILBERT, Circuit Judge (after stating the facts as above).
In the prior art were shown numerous patents involving the use of compressed air for conveying through pipes a wide variety of materials, such as concrete, crude oil, dredge spoil, sand, and water, grain, molten sulphur, etc. As to all prior patents the appellants insists that none is anticipatory of its combination, for that they all lack the salient feature thereof, the arch-breaking nozzle, or anything that could exercise the function thereof.
Of the prior patents we find it necessary to refer particularly to but three, the patent to Smith, No. 122,498, of January 2, 1872, and the English patents to Duckham, one No. 4,400 of 1875, and one No. 15,348 of 1885. The Smith patent was for 'an improvement in the manufacture of concrete pavements and machinery for same. ' The
specifications described the apparatus as specially adapted to the manufacture and convection of concrete composition through pipes so as to set quickly upon reaching its destination and form a solid mass of artificial stone, and uncontradicted testimony was given of the successful use of the Smith machine in conveying concrete through a pipe by compressed air. The device contained all the features of the appellant's patent except the nozzle for admission of air near the point of exit.
The Duckham patent of 1875 was for improvements in discharging mud or soil from dredges. The mud was received in tanks capable of being closed air-tight, with the exception of inlets for the compressed air and an outlet for the spoils. In the specifications Duckham said: 'I prefer to inject compressed air * * * through a number of nozzles at the bottom of the tank, said nozzles being pointed toward the outlet. By this means the particles are prohibited from settling, and are kept in suspension until the whole is expelled from the tank. Compressed air may, moreover, be admitted into the discharge pipe with the same object. ' We think it indisputable that Duckham, in prescribing the use of pipes for the admission of compressed air in the tank, the same distributed along the bottom of the tank, and one of them locatable at the exit, presented the use of all that is included in the appellant's combination, save and except the U-bend, an exception which is negligible so far as the present litigation is concerned, and if there is distinction in the fact that Duckham used no air pressure above the contents of the tank, and thus omitted one of the features of the appellant's combination, that feature is also absent from the Hackley combination used by the appellee.
But the appellant asserts that Duckham was working with a material which would flow with facility, and that the nozzles which he used were intended for no other purpose than to stir up the mud in the bottom of the tank. It is true that Duckham was engaged in moving a material quite different from concrete, but that fact is not of importance on a question of anticipation. Concrete Appliances Co. v. Gomery, 269 U.S. 177, 46 S.Ct. 42, 70 L.Ed. 222. In his second patent of December 14, 1885, Duckham says: 'The mud or spoil was received directly from the dredging buckets in a tank or tanks, whence it was expelled through outlet pipes by means of compressed air admitted at the upper part of the tank,...

As we are working in a scrum environment , our jira tool is working with the greenhopper plugin which allows us to add sprints (user story can be linked to sprint via "sprint" field). Basically the "sprint" field in jira/greenhopper is a customized field with some id (marked as locked + "Sprint field for GreenHopper use only" notification).
Currently I've mapped this "sprint" field with a custom spiratest "sprint" field (free text field + external key = corresponding jira key ). However when the sync is done , the user story is created in spiratest but sprint field is still empty.
Our understanding is that normally Greenhopper sprints are actually specialized types of Versions and that you would use the Release mapping functionality to map them to Spira releases.
If that's not the case I'd recommend submitting a help desk ticket for a deeper investigation.


A famous lecturer was chatting with an acquaintance during lunch, and was inundated with questions.

In a small town, the most hated man died. Everyone was at the funeral, just to be sure he was really dead.
After the service, the minister asked if anyone would like to say something nice about the man.

Home | Milford Haven to St David's in 5 Days Walking
Pembrokeshire Central Coast: Milford Haven to St David's
Milford Haven to St David's in 5 Days Walking Code: PCC6
This section is a real mixture from its beginnings in a part of Wales devoted to industry which soon changes to gentle cliffs, wooded valleys and pretty bays. The terrain then changes again to high rugged cliffs leading on through the ghostly past of coal mining, interspersed with coves and sandy beaches.
Print Booking Form
View Milford Haven to St David's in 5 Days Walking in a larger map
Completing this section over 5 days, though still exhilarating, means that there is more time to visit the sites along the way including the beaches at Newgale Sands, Druidston Haven and Broad Haven and the lovely fishing villages of Marloes and Dale.
Day 1 Travel to Milford Haven for your first nights accommodation
Day 2 Milford Haven to Dale (plus 4m and plus 3m at high tides)	 10 16
Day 3 Dale to Marloes	 8 13
Day 4 Marloes to Little Haven	 10 17
Day 5 Little Haven to Newgale then transfer to Roch	 6 10
Day 6 Transfer to Newgale then walking to St David's	 8 13
Day 7 Depart from St David's after breakfast
Gentle, Rugged, Wild and Mild
The Dale Peninsula is a walk of contrasts starting in the gentle, pastoral and, in places, wooded shelter of the Milford Haven waterway and ending on the wild and treeless Atlantic coast with spectacular views of the rugged offshore islands of Skomer, Skokholm and Grassholm. Care must be taken to check the tidetables at Sandy Haven and Musselwick to avoid detours on roads.
The path then continues to change again as you reach strikingly red low cliffs and coastal slopes and cliff tops rich in wild flowers. In places the red of the Old Red Sandstone is brightly streaked with yellow algae. The pretty village of Solva is well worth a visit due to its situation on an old glacial water melt channel.
This section ends in the smallest city in Britain – St David's and it's beautiful cathedral. You can extend your day to suit as you can exit the coastal path at various locations round the peninsula to reach St David's – make time to linger on the wild and rocky peninsular of St David's Head which abounds with archaeology and has views across to Ramsey Island. Keep an eye out too for seals in the rocky coves below the path and gannets diving for fish out to sea; you may be lucky enough to see the grey dorsal fins of porpoises hunting for fish beneath the gannets.
This is not a technically difficult walk and should be easy to tackle for most reasonably fit people. The paths are good, and there are no major route finding challenges. This central sectoin includes a short urban section at the beginning, followed by cliftops and sandy beaches.
Terrain: A coastal path mainly through farmland and moorland on the cliff tops, with stretches along sandy beaches.
What's it like underfoot? Generally good paths and tracks, although a few sections can get muddy after heavy rain.
How Much Up & Down? More than you'd think! Although you never reach more than 200m above sea level (and most of the time not more than 100m) there are many short steep sections. Most days involve ascents of 200-500m metres, although no section is very steep for very long.
Signposting: Good - the path is well waymarked.
Navigation: Pretty straightforward – good signposting, and generally well defined tracks.
Weather: You may be lucky enough to encounter warm, dry weather over the whole route and enjoy dry paths and tremendous views, but you must be prepared because the weather can change quickly. Good clothing and waterproofs are essential, but don't forget you sunhat, sunblock and shorts!

We use a variety of accommodation, including small country house hotels, guest houses in market towns, bed and breakfasts in farm houses, country cottages and Victorian town houses.

We always try to arrange en suite accommodation, i.e. rooms with their own bathrooms for each night of your stay. However, in some of the more remote locations accommodation is limited and occasionally we may have to book rooms with shared bathrooms for one or two nights of your holiday, (especially if the booking is made at short notice), but we will always let you know if this is likely to be the case.

Donate to Jérôme Normand
For 10 years, Jérôme Normand was the Executive Director of ENvironnement JEUnesse, an environmental education organization that encourages citizen participation among youth. Ripe for a career change, he wondered what job would allow him to dissect and analyze issues and give advice, all while being involved in his community. It sounds much like the role of city councillor and fast forward to Jerome being elected as a city councillor in 2017 in the District of Sault-au-Récollet.
The change in culture brought about by the elected officials of Projet Montréal in Ahuntsic-Cartierville makes Jérôme proud. The administration of which he is a part of holds regular and real public consultations, where people genuinely have a say and for Jérôme, it is clear that this way of proceeding leads to constructive exchanges and innovative solutions. When the public service comes into direct contact with citizens, Jérôme sees that everyone benefits.
It is partly thanks to this approach that a project, called for by many citizen groups in the borough for a decade, finally saw the light of day in Ahuntsic-Cartierville during Jérôme's first mandate: two protected, four-season, two-way bicycle paths were inaugurated on rue Prieur and rue Sauriol in 2020. A father of two young children himself, Jérôme is delighted that these new paths are used daily as a safe route to nearby parks and schools... but also by seniors in four-wheelers!
A constant source of motivation for Jerome is to demystify for his fellow citizens the process and the many steps behind each decision of the City or Borough Council. To do this, he knows how to draw on the popular education skills he has acquired throughout his career. In fact, what Jérôme has really discovered since being elected is that his role requires a lot of know-how: you have to know how to break down deadlocks, be a good listener (whether you're dealing with a civil servant, a resident or a mobilized group), show discernment and, above all, not let fatigue or stress get the better of you.
As far as know-how is concerned, we can say that Jerome does not lack it either. With his MBA, he has a good understanding of the City's financial issues, serving on the Water, Environment, Sustainability and Major Parks Commission and the Contract Review Board. His years as vice-chair of the board of directors of the Maison du développement durable serve him well when he chairs the Communauté Métropolitaine de Montréal's Commission de l'aménagement. While he loves developing public policies that will bring about structural change in his district, Jerome feels even more pride when he connects with his fellow citizens who are happy to see their neighborhoods more vibrant, greener and safer.
Close to the river, Ahuntsic-Cartierville abounds in parks and other green spaces, and high-quality sports facilities. Since Projet Montréal was elected to the administration, our team has accomplished many things with significant and positive impacts on neighborhood life. The team still has many inspiring projects to implement. Our candidates are trusted and experienced people who know how to deliver. Our goals include improving the availability and speed of public transit and active transportation, continuing to make the riverbanks accessible, and supporting revitalization projects in various districts.

Let the two horizons meet at a point – serve your Android users with your iPhone app.
What if you could double your audience with your iPhone application without further investments? We Convert iOS App to Android and make this possible for you.
Have you been on an iOS platform with an app for business since long? Moving to Android would be a significant step for your company now. As the best practice, it is advised by industry experts to develop an Android App that is similar to an existing iPhone App. With 80% of the mobile users being on Android platform, it offers your business a considerable scope of growth.
Xtreem Solution dedicated Android development team is capable of handling the task very proficiently. Yes, we admit it is a big step, and that is why our controlled methodology helps enterprises in this move. Moving a flagship app to Android platform seamlessly is a challenging task, but we have accomplished it in the past and are confident of doing it further too.

What are our design considerations before we develop the Android application?
Android app development is our core strength, and we focus on developing the excellent application that is converted from an iOS platform. We start with picking up the Android OS versions for which we want the mobile App to support. This decision is taken only after a complete audience analysis. Our experienced developers extensively review the iOS App features and architecture and find out how they can add more useful functionalities to the new App like Push notifications for more engagement and compatibility of App with existing installed Apps.

Q: How to get an XElement with special characters in XML tag I have an XML document I'm trying to traverse, which is SDMX-compliant. Here's a short sample:
<root>
    <csf:DataSet id="J10">
     <kf:Series>
       <value> 107.92
       </value>
     </kf:Series>
    </csf:DataSet>
</root>

However, when I try to do the following using Linq to Xml in C#, I get an XmlException.
XElement dataset = document.Element("csf:DataSet");

The Exception text is:
The ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A, cannot be included in a name.
I have no control over the XML. Any ideas on how I can overcome this?

A: var csf = XNamespace.Get("<csfNamespaceUri>");
document.Element(csf + "DataSet");

Note that you have to specify the uri of the csf namespace. A full example:
var doc = XDocument.Parse(@"
<root xmlns:csf=""http://tempuri.org/1"" xmlns:kf=""http://tempuri.org/2"">
    <csf:DataSet id=""J10"">
     <kf:Series>
       <value> 107.92
       </value>
     </kf:Series>
    </csf:DataSet>
</root>
");

var dataSet = doc.Descendants(XNamespace.Get("http://tempuri.org/1") + "DataSet").Single();

A: Try using XNamespace to qualify the DataSet element you are looking to extract.

A: I had the same problem. One of the answers here helped me on my way, but not all the way, so here is my solution / clarification:
What you need to do is specify an URL for your namespace, like this:
XNamespace ns = "http://www.example.com";

...then prepend that namespace in each Element:
var someElement = new XElement(ns + "ElementName", "Value");

For this to work however, you must include that specific URI in the XML as follows:
var rootElement =
    new XElement(ns + "MyRootElement",
                 new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "ns",
                                "http://www.example.com"));

Now you can add someElement (and others) to rootElement, and the namespace will be included, because it has been referenced (by the url) in the root:
rootElement.Add(someElement);
rootElement.Add(new XElement(ns + "OtherElement", "Other value"));

This will generate XML that looks something like this:
<ns:MyRootElement xmlns:ns="http://www.example.com">
    <ns:ElementName> (...) </ns:ElementName>
    <ns:OtherElement> (...) </ns:OtherElement>
</ns:MyRootElement>

Farming and its Crisis , Adivasis , Environment • Dec. 16, 2014
The Barefoot Conservator
Debal Deb's 1000-and-growing in-situ rice conservation bank is a strong pitch for ending our dash towards genetic erosion
Chitrangada Choudhury
Rayagada , Odisha
The Sunday morning in July marked the fifth straight day of rain in the fecund foothills of the Niyamgiri range in western Orissa's Rayagada district. The delayed showers kicked off the year's busiest period for ecologist Debal Deb, and his right-hand man Dulal, as they prepared Basudha—a 2-acre farm unlike any other in India—for an intricately planned growing season.
Wrap your mind around this: over the coming days, the farm would see the planting of 1020 indigenous varieties of rice - part of a remarkable effort underway since 1996 towards rescuing a sliver of India's genetic diversity from extinction.
This wouldn't just mean planting 1000 varieties of rice saplings on a plot one-tenth the size of Mumbai's Oval Maidan, and watching them grow. Maintaining the genetic purity of each of these heirloom varieties, year on year, necessitated an intricate sowing plan crafted by Deb and his colleagues, so that no two neighbouring varieties flower at the same time, thus guarding against cross-pollination. (Deb published his methodology in the Current Science journal in July 2006, after field-testing it for six years.) The constant addition of vanishing varieties to Deb's growing collection – last year it numbered 960 – means the plan needs seasonal redesigning.
India's Genetic Erosion
Rice - daily sustenance for a majority of Indians - is a grass species, believed to have been domesticated over 10,000 years ago in a broad region extending from the north-eastern Himalayan foothills to southern China and south-east Asia. Over the centuries, human hands selected thousands of different strains, evolved in response to specific ecological niches. The undulating region of western Orissa called the Jeypore tract was one of the world's leading areas of diversification where a great number of rice varieties, also called land races, were developed by cultivators - "the un-named, unknown, and greatly talented scientists of the past", as Deb calls them.
PHOTO • Chitrangada Choudhury
In the 1960s, when Deb was growing up in Kolkata, India was estimated to have over 70,000 such rice land races. According to a 1991 National Geographic essay, just 20 years later, with scientists and policy makers chasing high yields through aggressively pushed modern, input-intensive hybrids, over 75% of India's rice production was coming from under 10 varieties.
This devastating and irreversible genetic erosion from India's farms continues: for example, rice varieties from West Bengal, which Deb had collected just five years ago, can no longer be found cultivated. The disappearance is insidious. "It can result from something as innocuous as a farmer dying, and his son dropping the variety," says Deb. "I witnessed this on a farm in Birbhum, with a rare two-grained variety called Jugal."
An Indian Institute of Science alum and a former Fulbright scholar at the University of California Berkeley, Deb abandoned his job at the Worldwide Wildlife Fund in the mid-1990s after struggling to convince colleagues to fund documentation of Bengal's vanishing rice varieties. "Conservation organisations suffer from what I call charismatic mega-fauna species syndrome," he says acerbically. "Tigers–yes. Rhinos–yes. But if some earthworms or beetles are going extinct because of chemical pollutants on a farm, who cares?"
Deb headed out to villages in search of indigenous rice, often travelling on bus rooftops or by foot – an iconoclast by temperament, the small, wiry man still abjures institutional links, relying on teaching assignments in European and American universities and donations from friends to sustain Basudha. He particularly sought out areas that were remote, un-irrigated, and having marginal farmers, who could not afford chemical inputs and seeds from the market. "The places Indian elites like to call 'backward' such as tribal areas were those with the greatest chances of having retained these varieties over time," says Deb. "When I would find such a variety, I would ask the farmer's family for a handful, explain why I wanted it, thank them for preserving a vital part of our heritage, and urge them to not give up cultivating it."
Using such barefoot methods, Deb has collected 1020 desi rice varieties over the past 18 years. They come from 13 states across North-Eastern, Eastern and Southern India. Kashmir with 2 indigenous varieties is the latest entrant to the seed bank, which Deb has named Vrihi, Sanskrit for rice. There are seeds that will grow in soils with high salinity, or conditions of submergence; others are drought or flood-tolerant, yet others are resistant to attacks from varying pathogens, while some are suited for dryland cultivation. There are medicinal varieties as well as 88 aromatic varieties.
These land races – embodying centuries of accumulated knowledge – and farmers who can work with them are crucial for a sustainable ecological agriculture, argues Deb. Annual seed conservation trainings and a distribution effort centred on the small farmer complement his in-situ conservation project, resulting in an informal personal network of about 3000 cultivators. Farmers who approach Basudha for seeds get them free of cost, with a plea to grow them and in turn become distributors to other farmers, to help reduce the chances of the variety going extinct.
Last December, having heard of the seed bank, 40 Malkangiri farmers travelled over 200 kms to Basudha's doorstep, and demanded indigenous seeds for their farms. "Not one asked about yield or market price," says Deb. "It was a very moving moment for us." Deb is also proud that the farm stands on a common property land in Rayagada's adivasi village of Kerandiguda – its residents invited Deb after taking seeds from his bank, and hearing that he was in search of a place to house his project.
The communitarian ethos defining Deb's work sharply contrasts with agricultural policymaking, where the voices of the small farmer—the largest group of Indians—are often impossible to detect. Take for example, a Rice Gene Bank built in recent years by the state government. Located in a government building in suburban Bhubaneshwar, 900 varieties from across Orissa are sealed in aluminium foil packets, and preserved at zero degrees in an impressive facility. It is a laudable effort. Only, how does an average farmer access it?
Officials watching over the collection say they cannot give farmers seed samples to cultivate since these might fall into the wrong hands (read: seed companies, who might exploit the genes for developing new proprietary seed lines). Never mind that the entire collection was built with farmer contributions from across the state. Why does the state not officially release these desi varieties in the market to encourage their use, and thereby survival? The release process, admit bureaucrats, is skewed towards modern, commercial varieties developed by breeders in government labs or private seed companies.
Besides being inaccessible to the average farmer, says Deb, official gene banks like the above neglect the process of life's co-evolution, by freezing seeds in time. "Bring out seeds of a pest-resistant variety after 30-40 years. They will have lost some major traits of defence since in the mean time the pest has evolved," he says. "They might be useful for research but are not geared towards our farmers in the field." Deb also counters the official argument that indigenous varieties mean inferior yields: "I have several varieties which outperform the so-called High Yielding varieties." High yields, he reminds, do not ensure food security, pointing to India being home to record stockpiles of rice and wheat, as well as a quarter of the world's under-nourished.
Over lunch – greens, vegetables, dal and rice combining eight different varieties from the farm – Deb asked if we could measure our heirlooms in money. "Imagine a unique painting , a saree...an ornament which has been in your family for 200 years – would you sell it off to make money?" he asked. "That's how these indigenous rice varieties are – they are our culture."

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that we've got some comings and goings news to pass along. For starters, we've got great news for Kelly Kruger fans, as the actress is returning to Y&R in the role of Mackenzie Browning with her first appearance scheduled for November 6.
When we last saw Mac, she was determined to find out exactly what happened to J.T. (Thad Luckinbill). Of course, what she doesn't know is that J.T. met his end at the hands of the cover-up crew. Perhaps Mac will be back with a new lead on "missing" J.T.'s whereabouts. She'll surely stir up trouble for the cover-up crew, who's already in a tizzy with Rey (Jordi Vilasuso) on the case and asking questions left and right.
The last thing that the cover-up crew needs is for Mac to explode onto the scene and start supporting Rey in his quest to find out what really happened to J.T. Or maybe it's worse that that; maybe Mac will return with some suspicions of her own. Y&R spoilers say that Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) will receive a threatening "I know what you did" note. Could Mac be behind that?
In other news, Y&R is currently holding auditions for a new role on the show. Soap Opera Digest is reporting that Y&R is looking for an actress to play a new character named Mandy. Mandy is described as an African American woman in her early 20s who is a talented songwriter.
Mandy is also described as someone who is "starting to discover her unique voice and place in the world." It sounds like she might be someone who will interact with Devon (Bryton James). Perhaps he'll sign Mandy as one of his new acts.
Whoever ends up filling this new role will begin taping on October 19, so look for Mandy to appear on-screen sometime in early to mid December.
That's it for comings and goings! Stay tuned to the CBS soap and don't forget to check CDL often for the latest Young and the Restless spoilers, updates, and news.

Phoenix Mayor Asks Trump To Delay Visit, Hoping For 'More Sound Judgment'
Published August 17, 2017 at 6:28 AM MDT
President Trump has said he is considering a pardon for former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was recently convicted on federal criminal contempt charges. Trump is holding a rally in Phoenix next Tuesday.
Shortly after President Trump posted a link for tickets to a rally in Phoenix, the city's mayor issued a statement asking the president not to come, saying, "our nation is still healing from the tragic events in Charlottesville."
Mayor Greg Stanton continued, "If President Trump is coming to Phoenix to announce a pardon for former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, then it will be clear that his true intent is to enflame emotions and further divide our nation."
Stanton, a Democrat, is in his second term as Phoenix's mayor, having won re-election last November.
Trump's announcement of an Aug. 22 rally at the Phoenix Convention Center didn't mention Arpaio, but it immediately renewed speculation that he might use the event to pardon the controversial former sheriff who became famous for his tough stance on illegal immigration.
Trump's responses to the violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., have been widely criticized. After a deadly attack led to a murder charge and prompted his fellow Republicans to decry domestic terrorism, the president said there was "blame on both sides."
By planning a rally and reportedly stating that he is "seriously considering" a pardon for Arpaio, Trump is seen as attempting to change the subject — and perhaps to further unite his base of support — in the face of criticism.
At the rally, Trump is also expected to speak in favor of a candidate he's backing in the upcoming midterm elections; on Thursday, he tweeted his support for Kelli Ward, the challenger to Republican Sen. Jeff Flake. In recent interviews and in his new book, Flake, who refused to vote for Trump, said Republicans made a "Faustian bargain" by backing him.
Arpaio, 85, was voted out of the Maricopa County office in November; last month, he was found guilty of criminal contempt by a federal judge in Arizona over his refusal to stop targeting Latinos for more than a year after a court order barred his deputies from detaining immigrants.
Arpaio is facing a potential six-month prison term; he's not scheduled to be sentenced until Oct. 5.
Trump and Arpaio have often spoken of their support for each another; the former sheriff backed Trump's presidential campaign and spoke at events on his behalf.
News of the Phoenix rally came via Twitter on Wednesday night, when Trump posted a link to his campaign's site where prospective attendees could register for tickets.
In a statement about the planned Trump rally, Stanton said, "It is my hope that more sound judgment prevails and that he delays his visit."
He added that his city will prepare to protect First Amendment rights — and the public's safety — if the rally goes ahead as planned.

Q: Recursive joins I have two tables defined below (note that the Regions table is recursive and that the recursion can potentially have many levels).
Regions

Id
ParentId
Name

1
null
EU

2
1
Germany

3
1
France

Cities

Id
Name
RegionId

1
Berlin
2

2
Hamburg
2

3
Paris
3

4
Nice
3

I want to see how many cities there are in a particular region. Desired output below:

Region
CityCount

EU
4

Germany
2

France
2

This query gives me the count of cities in every child region, but how do I join in the recursive table to also get the parent (in this case EU) region?
select R.Name, count(C.Id)
from Regions R
join Cities C on C.RegionId = R.Id
group by R.Name
having count(C.Id) > 1

I've tried to simplify a real-world problem I'm facing, this is obviously the simplification.

A: This appears to be what you're after. You can use an rCTE to move through the hierachy to the root, but each iteration retains certain information; in this case the name of the original node. Then you can still JOIN on the RegionID:
WITH rCTE AS(
    SELECT R.ID,
           R.ParentID,
           R.[Name]
    FROM dbo.Regions R
    UNION ALL
    SELECT R.ID,
           R.ParentID,
           C.[Name]
    FROM dbo.Regions R
         JOIN rCTE C ON R.ParentID = C.ID)
SELECT r.[Name],
       COUNT(*) AS CityCount
FROM rCTE r
     JOIN dbo.Cities C ON r.ID = C.RegionID
GROUP BY r.[Name];

db<>fiddle

A: You can use a recursive CTE to flatten your regions tree:
with flatregions as
(
  select t.ID, t.ParentID, t.Name, 1 as lvl
  from regions t

  union all

  select t.ID, tt.ParentID, tt.Name, t.lvl+1
  from flatregions t
  inner join regions tt on tt.ID = t.ParentID
)
select * FROM flatregions;

ID
ParentID
Name
lvl

1

EU
1

2
1
Germany
1

3
1
France
1

3

EU
2

2

EU
2

Then use that CTE in the JOIN of your cities table:
with flatregions as
(
  select t.ID, t.ParentID, t.Name, 1 as lvl
  from regions t

  union all

  select t.ID, tt.ParentID, tt.Name, t.lvl+1
  from flatregions t
  inner join regions tt on tt.ID = t.ParentID
)
select R.Name, count(C.Id) as CityCount
from flatregions R
join Cities C on C.RegionId = R.Id
group by R.Name
having count(C.Id) > 1

Region
CityCount

EU
4

Germany

France

Argia funebris – gatunek ważki z rodziny łątkowatych (Coenagrionidae). Występuje od środkowych Stanów Zjednoczonych przez Meksyk po Amerykę Centralną.

W starszym ujęciu systematycznym Argia funebris uznawany był za gatunek tropikalny, ale w 2022 roku Garrison i Ellenrieder uznali takson Argia plana za jego młodszy synonim, a tym samym zasięg występowania Argia funebris uległ znacznemu poszerzeniu.

[T]he Palestinian Authority would not accept the United States as a sole mediator, and made it clear that the salaries of terrorists would not be stopped. "You cannot send a soldier and then not help his family."
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said at the beginning of the week that the Palestinians face many challenges, greatest of which is the Deal of the Century - the American political plan aimed at achieving peace between Israel and the PA.
Speaking at a meeting with members of the new Palestinian government headed by Mohammad Shtayeh, Abbas said that in the end, "nothing will remain of [the deal] and there will be no mention of it."
"We opposed this deal in the first place because it took Al-Quds out of Palestine, so we did not want the rest [of the plan] because there is no state without Al-Quds, and there will be neither a state in Gaza nor a state without Gaza," Abbas said.


It's unicorn season and the money is gushing on Wall Street.
I've figured out a way to get hold of some of that money, and maybe you'd like to join me. It involves industry disruption and crisis management, with my own soulless twist.
This is high-tech stuff, so let me define a few technical terms.
As always, I've been wondering: How can I become even naughtily rich? The trick is to find a business I can bootstrap to billions.
Disrupting established industries seems to be the way to go: Even children know that Lyft and Uber have disrupted taxi service and Airbnb has disrupted hotels.
Now it's my turn to make a fortune. The crisis management business seems to be ripe for disruption.
Crises are everywhere, especially in the business world. A company called Theranos failed so spectacularly that it has generated a best-selling book, an HBO documentary and a big podcast. Theranos claimed to have revolutionized blood tests. It has been a disaster, like the Fyre festival, but with pricked fingers.
Then there's Boeing, not to mention a number of current presidential campaigns. You get the idea.
Crisis managers are already in great demand, but I intend to do something different: I'll create crises, then solve them, leading to a staggeringly successful unicorn I.P.O.
Lyft just had its I.P.O. and may soon be followed by some of the biggest names in tech, including Uber, Airbnb and Slack, the annoyingly ubiquitous program for sharing messages in the workplace.
Exciting, right? Hope you like roller coasters: Lyft's shares dropped below their offering price by their second day of trading, which means the stock price could use a … well, you know.
The point with an I.P.O. is to be an insider, not a chump who gets fleeced by the insiders. Lyft's founders, employees and early backers are getting quite a payday. Andreessen Horowitz, the venture capital firm, comes away with about $900 million in instant profit. Carl C. Icahn apparently made about $550 million, according to The Wall Street Journal, by selling his stake to George Soros.
That's the life for me: mogul. I've been driving the same car for 10 years. It's time to move up to something that extravagantly shows how much I love the planet. Not a mere Tesla, but the Jaguar electric E-Type Zero, which costs about $400,000.
That kind of ride requires I.P.O. money. So, fellow insider, here's my plan.
I formulated it with invaluable help from Eric Dezenhall. He runs Dezenhall Resources, which, among other things, does crisis management. In an email, I told him that my life is an unmanaged crisis, so I need advice if I am to build a future in his field.
His response was promising: "You do realize that the whole discipline is a farce, don't you?" That convinced me that crisis management would be a good fit.
This was getting better and better. As a veteran journalist, clichés are my métier. And, as it happens, I own a sport jacket. There are some moth holes, but I've gotten pretty good at using a felt-tip pen to match the jacket color with the lining. Mr. Dezenhall was impressed by my inventive use of the felt-tip pen. That, in itself, "is crisis management," he said.
But he cautioned that crisis management is no longer a matter of simply altering perceptions so that a bad situation looks like something good. "What people think we're going to say is, 'We didn't dump PCBs in the river, we're shampooing the fish!' and people will say, 'Ooh, that's good,'" he said. But, no. That's old thinking, he said. His trade has evolved.
Instead of just changing perceptions, he said, the great crisis managers provide "operational solutions" that address root causes. That way, he said, a company can transcend the fickle and uncontrollable emotions that dominate the 24-hour news cycles and waves of Twitter outrage.
So he would not, for example, advise the chief executive of Boeing to go on a televised apology tour for two recent crashes and the loss of hundreds of lives. (And, in fact, the company's public response has been notably muted.) These days, he said, such gestures are instantly deemed inadequate. Instead, he said, it's better to help companies actually fix their problems, which will do more to vindicate them than any snappy patter.
"What you're saying," I said, "sounds like it takes actual management ability." I was beginning to despair. And that's when the thunderbolt hit me: I could work the other side of the market. Crisis creation!
Mr. Dezenhall ran with the idea: He said I could get paid by short sellers, or work directly with him to concoct scandals that expose companies to reputational crises, which he — and I — would be paid handsomely to relieve. Most of the time, we'd do nothing but wait for the situation to resolve itself and celebrate our success.
Our corporate slogan would be this: Plant a problem, find the problem, claim to fix the problem. All in a profitable day's work.
It sounded exciting. It sounded like big money. Also, it sounded like he was joking. Unfortunately, he was. He turned out to be one of those people burdened with a sense of ethics and even a conscience.
It could be you! This is a can't-miss opportunity: We'll capture a unicorn, throw it into crisis, and reap unfathomable rewards.
It will definitely happen, though for now, I'll keep my day job: describing crises without capitalizing on them.
If I save my pennies, who knows? I might be able to get a new sport coat.


In the autumn of 2016, Bluestone's Head of Sales and Marketing, Yvonne Buckingham set herself the challenge of walking the entire length of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path with a group of friends.
Yvonne has been documenting their adventure for the Bluestone blog and has so far walked from Amroth to Dale. We caught up with Yvonne to find out about the latest part of her adventure!
'Well, here we are! After a long summer break it was time to get those walking boots laced up and moving. This part of our journey started from the beautiful village of Dale ending at Marloes; off we went towards the headland to Dale Fort occasionally glancing back to view the coastal path behind us, reminding us of what we already had achieved on this 186 mile challenge.
The footpath was winding and steep in places which was challenging at times, however with views of amazing rock formations; beautiful secluded beaches and intriguing wildlife this kept us going and just curious for more. We headed towards St Anne's Head lighthouse and then onto West Dale beach, where it was time for some refueling from our back packs.
We set off across the coastal path cliffs and like a mirage we could see Marloes beach in the distance which was just stunning. As we walked we spied Gateholm Island in the distance as we approached Deer Park. We had a lovely surprise, as there were quite a few seal pups sunbathing on the rocks below, whilst their mum swam in the glistening clear Pembrokeshire waters.
Bluestone National Park Resort is situated in the heart of Pembrokeshire, so it makes an ideal base for exploring the whole of the county. From the rugged hills and moorlands in the north, to the picturesque seaside towns in the south, there is something for everyone!

Biosecurity ramped up
A FURTHER layer of protection against Foot and Mouth Disease has been laid down at Tasmanian ports with the installation of foot sanitation mats this week.
The mats will be used by travellers returning from Indonesia to provide a further layer of protection to mitigate any intrusions of the disease into the state. The mats are the latest in the government's efforts to ramp up protection at borders. This has so far included more biosecurity officers, upgrades to x-ray machinery at mail processing centres and increased signage at arrival and exit ports. The TFGA has also been engaged to promote on-farm biosecurity practices.
Primary Industries Minister Jo Palmer said it was important to wrap "another layer" of protection around Tasmania on top of the federal biosecurity measures. "It is another way that we can reiterate to our farmers that we are standing by them and to ensure that biosecurity threats are treated in the right manner," Ms Palmer said.
"We just can't have them in our state. "While the risk is low the consequences have the potential to devastate our agricultural industry" "Our first line of defence is the federal border protection where Tasmania has worked really closely to be part of the national strategy to make sure that first line of defence is as strong as it can be."
The footmats will be located at every point-of-entry into Tasmania, including on King and Flinders Island. There are significant penalties associated with attempting to work around biosecurity direction. Under the general biosecurity duty, if someone knowingly and deliberately attempts to circumvent the biosecurity requirements they can face fines up to $450,000. Meanwhile, a new national biosecurity strategy was released this week with the aim of combating the increasing pest and disease threats at Australian borders.
Agriculture Minister Senator Murray Watt announced said the strategy was Australia's first national biosecurity plan and aimed to ensure different states and governments worked with industry alongside one another. The strategy outlines six priority areas needed to evolve the biosecurity system within Australia. Shared biosecurity culture will enhance the importance of biosecurity action. A highly skilled workforce will be developed and sustained to ensure capabilities to manage any outbreaks are met. Sustainable investment ensures funding is sufficient, co-funded, transparent and sustainable for the long term.
Australia stands to lose about $5 billion in control measures and lost production for weeds, $1.3 billion in pollen-dependant crops over 30 years in the event of a varroa mite incursion and around $50 billion over 10 years in the event of a FMD outbreak.
