Q: How do I support large tab bar previews in iOS 11? In some of Apple's apps like Photos in iOS 11 if you hold down on a tab bar icon while your phone is in landscape and you have the larger accessibility size Dynamic Text turned on a large preview of the tab you are holding appearing. How do I support this in my app? Is it a new API or do I have to build it myself?

A: You can use PDF image assets and get large tab bar preview behavior for free.
Check the "Preserve Vector Data" button in the attributes inspector for the PDF image asset.
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/204/

A: The new property is:
// Higher-resolution version of the standard image. Default is nil. Used for rendering assistive UI (e.g. for users with visual impairments who need large text). If not provided, the system may attempt to generate an image based on the standard image (for instance, by rasterizing matching PDF representations at a higher resolution).
@property(nullable, nonatomic, strong) UIImage *largeContentSizeImage API_AVAILABLE(ios(11.0));

Which is on UIBarItem (which UITabBarItem inherits from). I've left the comment in from the header file as it's relevant.
It's also possible to set this under the 'accessibility' property in Interface Builder.

. . . I hope to write another [novel] fairly soon.
what kind of book I want to write.
By titling my Whitney recap as I have, I don't wish to suggest the five books in the General Category sucked. After all, the novel Orwell was planning to write was Nineteen Eighty-four, an enormous success by about every criteria I can imagine (outside cheerfulness—huge bust on the cheerfulness front). Rather, as I revisit the books I've read and reviewed, I want to think about what they suggest about us as a writing community in 2014. I'll cover them in the order they are listed on the Whitney site which, coincidentally, is the same order I ranked them in.
I was on Amazon reading about this book, no idea it was by a Mormon author, and darn near bought it. Then I remembered there's a moratorium on Theric buying new books and since I wasn't up to the free-shipping level I closed the tab before I could get into trouble. Then, later that day, I bounced into an email lounging in my inbox offering a free digital copy to AMV for review. And, now, here we are.
In this review, I'll be worrying less about a holistic look at the novel (though if that happens , great; if not, just know it's terrific) and more about looking at the striking artistic choices Quist has made. Or, in other words, we'll be discussing passages I highlighted during my reading.


Characteristics and Range With its long upswept bill and striking plumage, the American Avocet is immediately recognizable. Usually found in shallow freshwater ponds, avocets use their long beaks to sweep through the water to capture crustaceans and aquatic insects. The American Avocet is a relatively common, breeding, summer visitor to the Prairie Potholes and the Great Plains, wintering in the United States Southern Coastal Plains, Mexico and parts of Central America.
Distribution, Abundance, and Habitat The American Avocet is a rare summer visitor and localized breeder in British Columbia. The Atlas showed sparse and irregular breeding in three broad areas of the province: the Peace River Lowlands, the Rocky Mountain Trench, and the grasslands extending from the Okanagan through the Douglas Lake Plateau to the southern Cariboo and eastern Chilcotin. This expands on the general pattern in The Birds of British Columbia published in 1990, although, unlike in the 1980s (Gebauer 1999), no avocets were recorded breeding on the southern coast during the Atlas period. Only four sites have had repeated breeding in more than one year, and neighbouring Alki and Robert lakes in the Okanagan are the only sites to have repeated breeding in more than 2 years (Gebauer 1999). Given the conspicuousness of this species, the Atlas data probably reflect accurately its sporadic and localized breeding in the province.
Small numbers have been regular in British Columbia since the 1960s (Campbell et al. 1990; Gebauer 1999). Atlas data suggest that breeding in British Columbia is perhaps more common than in the past. Gebauer (1999) showed 11 records, some with multiple nests, at seven sites over 30 years, 1968-1998. The Atlas confirmed breeding at six locations and recorded probable breeding in another three. Breeding numbers remain low. The highest number recorded by the Atlas was 10 nests at Alki Lake in 2012, compared to a peak of 19 active nests reported there in 1997 (Gebauer 1999).
In British Columbia, the American Avocet is found in low-elevation areas with warm to hot summers. It forages in shallow (<25 cm deep), usually alkaline, freshwater ponds with high seasonal productivity of freshwater zooplankton and aquatic insects. Nests are usually located close to these foraging sites.
Conservation and Recommendations The American Avocet is currently on the British Columbia Blue List because of its small population. On the Canadian Prairies, the species is a regular breeder with a relatively stable population (Gratto-Trevor et al. 2011). Breeding in British Columbia is likely limited by the availability of suitable nesting habitat, but nest predation and human disturbance of nesting colonies are also likely to be important factors. Continued annual monitoring at Alki and nearby Robert lakes is needed to determine how this tenuous breeding population can be protected and allowed to expand.

The Wizard of the Nile was a burlesque operetta in three acts, composed by Victor Herbert to a libretto by Harry B. Smith.

Herbert's second operetta after Prince Ananias, The Wizard of the Nile was his first real success.  It was given 105 performances on Broadway at the Casino Theatre, opening on November 4, 1895, starring the comedian Frank Daniels (and his Comic Opera Company), and enjoyed productions in Britain and on the European continent – a rare achievement for an American work of the period – as well as a revival in New York.  None of Herbert's later shows would achieve as much international success.

Daniels played Kibosh, the Persian Magician.  His phrase, "Am I a wiz?" became a popular expression.  Edwin Isham also starred.  Famous songs include the waltz "Star Light, Star Bright", "My Angeline" and "In Dreamland".  A recording of this piece is available here.

Sycamore plans to split Staples into three to help fund the takeover

Office-supply seller to be divided into U.S. retail, Canadian retail and corporate-supply units
Sean Proctor/Bloomberg
Sycamore Partners intends to split Staples Inc. into three to help fund its $6.9 billion purchase of the office-supply seller, in another sign of the challenges facing the retail industry.
The plan calls for Staples US:SPLS to be divided into three separately financed entities, according to people familiar with the matter: U.S. retail; Canadian retail; and corporate-supply businesses. The three groups will still remain under the same corporate umbrella.
The move is designed to make the leveraged buyout of Staples, announced Wednesday, an easier sell to bond and loan investors whose appetite for retail names has soured as the industry's prospects have waned. Their appetite will be crucial to financing the deal, the largest LBO announced this year.
Carlyle Group Co-CEO Optimistic About Deal-Making
UBS AG, Bank of America Corp. and other Wall Street banks plan to arrange bonds and loans backing only the Staples unit that distributes paper, pens and other supplies to large business and government customers, the people said. The delivery operation is the largest and seen as the crown jewel of Staples.

White House: BP Will Pay $20B Into Gulf Spill Fund At the White House, the president and the oil company's top executives reached an agreement on the escrow fund the administration demanded to compensate victims of the Gulf Coast spill.
Gulf Oil Spill: Containment And Clean Up
White House: BP Will Pay $20B Into Gulf Spill Fund

President Obama meets with (from left) BP CEO Tony Hayward, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg, BP General Counsel Rupert Bondy, BP Managing Director Robert Dudley, Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett, and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis at the White House.
President Obama said Wednesday that BP will place $20 billion in a fund to compensate victims of the Gulf Coast oil spill, with the money to be set aside to ensure that the energy giant meets its obligations.
One day after the president addressed the nation on the massive spill and two months after the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion and fire that triggered it, BP executives came to the White House Wednesday morning to discuss the fund and other issues. Obama said BP agreed that the fund would be independently administered by Kenneth Feinberg, the administration's executive compensation "pay czar." Feinberg previously administered the fund that compensated victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"BP has agreed to set aside $20 billion to pay for economic claims from this spill," the president announced.
"This fund does not supersede either individual rights or states' rights to future claims," he said.
Obama said the British oil company had also agreed to set aside $100 million to compensate oil workers who are unemployed as a result of the spill.
"BP's liabilities for this spill are significant. They acknowledge that fact," he said, adding that "BP is a strong and viable company and it is in all our interests that it stays that way."

BP would not be required to pay all at once -- which is an attempt to allow the company to maintain the confidence of its investors. As a practical matter, the government needs BP to remain solvent so it can continue paying for compensation and restoration efforts, which will take many years to complete.
But Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said he wasn't sure the fund was a good idea. The Republican said BP needs to use its money to drill oil wells and produce revenue.
Since the April 20 rig explosion that triggered the spill, BP has repeatedly said it would pay all "legitimate" claims, but the company has failed to say how it defines legitimate.
Following the meeting with Obama, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg said the company's board had voted to suspend $10 billion in dividend payments to shareholders because of the spill. He reiterated that BP would "live up to all responsibilities ... and all proper claims."
He apologized to the American people for the spill, and said the White House and BP were "fully aligned" on the steps needed to fix the spill.
Earlier Wednesday, senior White House adviser David Axelrod said the meeting was aimed at ensuring that Gulf Coast businesses and individuals will be fully compensated for their economic losses. Axelrod, speaking on CBS's The Early Show, said the key is that the escrow account the administration has pushed for must be under independent control.
Before Wednesday's meeting, BP declined to offer details about what proposals it would bring to the meeting or any reaction to Obama's biting words in his national address Tuesday night. On Tuesday, the president was blunt about the administration's position, declaring in his first Oval Office address that "we will make BP pay for the damage their company has caused," and describing the catastrophe as a "siege" on the shores of America.
The company said in a statement that it shares Obama's goal of "shutting off the well as quickly as possible, cleaning up the oil and mitigating the impact on the people and environment of the Gulf Coast. We look forward to meeting with President Obama tomorrow for a constructive discussion about how to best achieve these mutual goals."
The White House once had described BP as an essential partner in plugging the crude oil spewing from the broken well beneath nearly a mile of water. Now the president's tone has shifted, and he has said BP threatens to destroy a whole way of life.
"I refuse to let that happen," Obama said in his televised address Tuesday.
Meanwhile, a team of U.S. scientists has increased its high-end estimate of the amount of crude oil flowing from the BP well by 50 percent, to a range of 35,000 to 60,000 barrels per day. That estimate is in line with one made by independent scientists and first reported by NPR more than a month ago. BP, which had said for weeks that the flow rate was about 5,000 barrels a day, later acknowledged the figure was low, but the company has nonetheless declined to provide an updated estimate.
The government scientists say the total spilled so far could be as much as 116 million gallons.
BP also said Wednesday it has a second system in place to collect oil from the blown-out well.
The new system, already in place, has the capacity to draw up and burn about 10,000 barrels a day, though it is still ramping up to that level. It reuses seabed equipment installed in May for BP's failed "top kill" effort to smother and plug the leak, the company said.
Combined with the existing oil collection system, BP should be able to gather about 25,000 barrels a day.

Hackney Council warns rogue landlords they have 'nowhere to hide' after licensing scheme finally rolled out
The kinds of conditions Hackney Council is hoping to clamp down on, seen at a privately rented home in Hackney Downs last year. Picture: Hackney Council
Rogue landlords in the three most problem-hit areas of Hackney have been warned they have nowhere to hide after the council launched a crackdown on poor conditions.
Vishal Vora.
Owners of the 4,000 plus private-rented homes in Brownswood, Cazenove and Stoke Newington wards now have to apply for licences. They were chosen because one-in-five renters in those areas suffering from cold homes, disrepair, damp and mould.
The new powers were announced last year, along with additional licensing requirements for landlords of all houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) in the borough, but a legal challenge from a landlord held up the rollout.
The scheme was eventually approved at the cabinet meeting last week and enforcement has now begun.
Landlords are being charged £500 for a five-year licence, or £425 for those that are accredited. The cash will pay for additional enforcement officers, with the licensing team doubling in size.
Those who don't get licensed or fail to comply with the conditions will face fixed penalties of up to £30,000, a prosecution with unlimited fine, or be forced to pay tenants back up to a year's rent. Serious offenders can be banned from letting homes completely and placed on a rogue landlords database.
Cllr Sem Moema, mayoral adviser for private renting, said: "For too long rogue landlords have been able to get away with exploiting a lack of regulation to profit from letting out homes in unacceptable condition.
"Our measures are addressing this imbalance, giving protection to thousands of renters who, by paying exorbitant rents just for somewhere to live, are already on the frontline of Hackney's housing crisis.
"Landlords have long known these changes are coming and - with plans to inspect every single property affected - those breaking the law can have no excuses when we issue tough penalties."
Landlords complained last year that they had been given no information about the upcoming scheme, and they were eventually given until the end of February to apply for licences.
One owner, Vishal Vora, said at the time: "There are rogue landlords and there needs to be a mechanism to catch them, but to us it just feels they are using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. A lot of landlords are worried."
Since the rollout of the additional HMO licensing, affecting another 4,000 properties, the council has prosecuted three landlords, with court dates set for next year.
The measures are part of the Council's #BetterRenting campaign to create a better deal for private renters.


Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald discusses the upcoming arbitration case for Jacoby Ellsbury, who is putting up MVP-caliber numbers while earning $2.4MM this season. As Lauber writes, it's not easy to find appropriate comparables for the Red Sox outfielder. Lauber cites Andruw Jones, Hunter Pence, and Carlos Beltran as some names that could come up during negotiations. Last month, MLBTR's Tim Dierkes explained that Ellsbury's salary should exceed $6MM.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post praises the Yankees' bench, pointing out that the club's depth is one reason for its AL East lead. GM Brian Cashman noted that the Yanks weren't desperate for reinforcements at the trade deadline this year: "We did our trade deadline deals in the winter. Our supplemental moves kept us from having to trade assets in July for answers."
The Orioles can't go into next season with Kevin Gregg as their closer, argues MASN's Steve Melewski. The right-hander is under contract for 2012 ($5.8MM), but has been inconsistent at the back of Baltimore's bullpen this year, posting a 4.45 ERA and 6.3 BB/9. Another reason why the O's may want to keep Gregg away from the ninth inning next season? He has a $6MM option for 2013 that would vest if he finishes 50 games in 2012. As the team's closer this season, he has just 43 games finished, but he recorded more than 50 in each of his previous four seasons.
For the latest updates on the Orioles closing situation, along with 29 others, be sure to follow @closernews on Twitter or visit CloserNews.com.
No way any team can go into next season with Gregg and his 1.67 WHIP or 4.92 xFIP or +4.00 ERA as their closer.
If Gregg had a 0.00 ERA the O's wouldn't be anywhere near .500.
sure, but for the same amount of money they could employ someone to fill that roll and at least be closer to .500.
i would actually stay internally and use jim johnson…just a thought….
what are you talking about? the red sox play the YANKEES on the final weekend of the season and have a 4 game set with the rays in boston next weekend. come on guys, this is amateurish.
Intra division means within ones own division.
As a Jays fan, Ive seen this scenario too many times last year. The frustrating part is that Gregg self destructs in slow motion… anyone in the ballpark can tell he doesn't have it… walk, walk, K, walk, wild pitch. It's not like a bloop and a blast and the game is over.
Unfortunately, Bucky and Cito before him are locked into the "you live and die with your closer" mentality, instead of actually managing and getting him out of there before he loses the game. Cito did pull him once, the Jays won and Gregg was not happy about it.. Next time, Cito left him in however, with the predictable result.

ProgramAnalysis is the (automated) inspection of a program to infer some property. Program analysis is needed for most kinds of ProgramTransformation and can range from simple local properties in PatternMatching to more complicated global properties in DeadCodeElimination?.
The purpose of program analysis is to ascertain information about a program without actually running the program. For example, in classical dataflow analysis of imperative programs, the goal is to associate an appropriate set of "dataflow facts" with each program point (i.e., with each assignment statement, call statement, I/O statement, predicate of a loop or conditional statement, etc.). Typically, the dataflow facts associated with a program point p describe some aspect of the execution state that holds when control reaches p, such as available expressions, live variables, reaching definitions, etc. Information obtained from program analysis is used in ProgramOptimization, as well as in tools for software engineering and ReEngineering.

Introducing and Promoting Slovenia in the World – Soft Power of Cultural Diplomacy
Avtor: adminkp Datum: 981 dni nazaj.
Promoting Slovenia's culture and its identity, creativity, and artists abroad is one of the key elements of the country's foreign policy. In previous years, a lot of work has been done to support the Slovenian economy, which is very export-oriented. Nevertheless, the promotion of cultural identity remains of special value, often complementing or preceding economic diplomacy.
In a time of budget constraints, Slovenia has managed to establish two cultural centres – in Vienna and Berlin. Although they are still quite modest, operating within the residential embassies in these two cities, they are the nucleus of a future network.
Overall, Slovenian embassies are very active in introducing and promoting Slovenian cultural creativity, which is especially vibrant and rich, in cities around the world. The state has set up a special financing fund dedicated to the organisation of individual cultural events throughout its entire diplomatic network. One of the basic guidelines is that each diplomatic event organised by the embassy should also be used for presenting Slovenian cultural creativity in the broadest meaning of the word.
Culture has always played a very significant role throughout the history of the Slovenian nation, and of Slovenia as an independent country. With the purpose of promoting culture and art effectively and in an organised manner, the Republic of Slovenia followed the example of other nations and established its first Slovenian Cultural Information Centre in 2011 in Austria, called SKICA.
SKICA is a joint project of the Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Foreign Affairs that has clear objectives, namely to introduce Slovenian art to the Austrian and international public, bring together Slovenian and Austrian artists, connect national cultural institutions, bring Slovenian projects and artists to renowned Austrian festivals, fairs and other events, as well as to participate in bilateral relations at the highest level.
The most important aim of SKICA is to raise the profile of Slovenian creativity in Austria. Since the EU places a high value on the free movement of people, goods, services and capital, we are now even more closely linked by culture, which is inseparably linked with the mobility of artists. It is exactly this awareness that serves as a foundation of the centre's actions, i.e. the notion that culture, through cultural diplomacy, also includes the implementation of foreign policy in international relations in the form of soft power. This gives culture a state representative function, in that it can be used to enhance Slovenia's presence on the international stage.
In order to ensure the successful operation of SKICA, it is vital that it is properly placed within the cultural space of Vienna and Austria. Although SKICA does not have its own facilities for hosting events, this has proven to be an advantage as presentations held at important Austrian locations reach a wider public and gain more recognition.
Since its establishment, SKICA has maintained partnerships with important festivals such as the Vienna Design Week, Wienerfestwochen, Literaturhaus Wien, Waves Vienna and others, and at the same time is an active partner in the EUNIC Austria network of cultural institutes. Through EUNIC, SKICA has become a part of both the Austrian and European cultural landscapes. Each year, SKICA organises, co-organises and promotes from 35 to 40 events. Media responses, attendance at the events and a growing interest in participation show that SKICA has already reached its original goals, and is now a successful model of a cultural centre.
The second Slovenian cultural institution in the German speaking area
The Slovenian cultural centre in Berlin opened its doors on 1 June 2016, when Slovenia was celebrating 25 years of independence. The newly-opened cultural centre, whose primary purpose is to promote Slovenian culture and artists in Berlin and elsewhere across Germany, was founded in response to the wish for deeper relations between the two nations.
The Slovenian Cultural Centre in Berlin is the second Slovenian cultural institution in the German-speaking area. This is not surprising, as historically speaking Slovenia has had strong ties with this region. The two Slovenian centres work together, in a coordinated manner, ensuring added value to the implementation of their programmes, which work to promote Slovenian culture and artists, of all genres, and establish links between governmental and non-governmental cultural institutions. They also provide support for Slovenian artists when they attend international festivals, fairs and so on.
The Slovenian Cultural Centre in Berlin has been active for nearly six months, and it is already evident that Slovenian artists are becoming more confident and recognised in this context, while their work contributes an important tile in the mosaic of the international art scene. Most of the performers in the projects carried out by the Slovenian Cultural Centre in Berlin have received good reviews, and thus invitations for further cooperation.
Indeed, there is growing interest in the events organised by the Slovenian Cultural Centre in Berlin, and with the Centre's aid many Slovenian institutions and artists have been hosted in the city for the first time. For example, the main Slovenian theatre company, the Slovenian National Theatre Drama Ljubljana, made its first appearance in Berlin with the play Als ich tot war (When I was Dead) by Ernst Lubitsch, adapted from his silent film, and performed in his theatre and the Babylon Cinema.
The Slovenian Cultural Centre in Berlin makes efforts to encourage Slovenian artists to create new pieces especially for German-speaking audiences, where they then have their opening nights. This is certainly an added encouragement for Slovenian artists to produce more international work.
This year will mark even deeper cultural cooperation with Russia
The year 2016 was dedicated to the 25th anniversary of Slovenia's independence. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Karl Erjavec, addressed the guests at the opening of an exhibition called Velika vojna v Krnskem pogorju. Sinovi Rusije v slovenskih Alpah (The great war in the Krn mountain range. The sons of Russia in the Slovenian Alps) in the Museum of Contemporary Russian History. Following his speech, artist Dragan Živadinov carried out an informative performance in the vicinity of Red Square. In Saint Petersburg, the honorary consul of the Republic of Slovenia organised an exhibition called I Feel Slovenia. I Feel at home, to mark the anniversary of the nation's independence.
In the country that sent the first man into space, the opening of a memorial room at the Slovenian Embassy in Moscow dedicated to Herman Potočnik Noordung, the pioneer of space architecture, was certainly of a great value and interest.
In addition to such memories of the past, Russian experts in fields of culture and art did not overlook the impressive achievements of contemporary Slovenian artists. The regular autumn programme of one of the most important Russian galleries, the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, included an exhibition from the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana called Neue Slowenisch Kunst: From Kapital to Capital. Its opening was attended by the Minister of Culture, Anton Peršak. His visit in September 2016, as well as signing a joint statement with the Russian Ministry of Culture on the presentation of Slovenian culture in the Russian Federation, and of Russian culture in the Republic of Slovenia for the 2017 and 2018 seasons, further encouraged the strengthening of bilateral relations in a cultural context. The performance of the renowned Slovenian choir Carmina Slovenica, and their project When the Mountain Changed its Clothing, convinced the committee that it was worthy of Russia's most prestigious theatre award, and thus this group won the coveted Golden Mask.
The acclaimed M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University also hosted an international conference on the Slovenian language, literature and culture in a Slavic and European context in November 2016, which was organised by the Department of Slavic Languages. A comprehensive two-day conference programme was enriched by an exhibition of Slovenian grammar books and dictionaries, called Poljub z jezikom (A Kiss with a Tongue).
The many successes of 2016 were rounded off with the opening of the Centre of Slavic Cultures at the Rudomino All-Russia State Library for Foreign Literature, in co-operation with the International Foundation Forum of Slavic Cultures. The Centre serves as an additional platform for promoting Slovenian culture in the Russian Federation.
Other notable events of the previous year, as organised by the Slovenian Embassy in Moscow, included a literary evening with Ivo Svetinam, the Slovenian writer and president of the Slovene Writers' Association, held at the Rudomino library; a screening of the Slovenian film Panika (Panic) at the EU film festival in Kaliningrad; and the presentation of Slovenian products at the Winter Bazaar, a traditional charity fund-raiser in Moscow.
The Slovenian Embassy in Moscow is now preparing for further cooperation with the Ministry of Culture in opening and implementing the Season of Slovenian Culture in 2017.
Every year, the Embassy of Slovenia in Washington organises a range of cultural, public diplomacy, educational and science events – all highlighted in the weekly Embassy Newsletter and promoted through the Embassy's website, social, printed and even TV media. The Embassy has a spacious reception hall, which also serves as a gallery space and concert room. On these premises the Embassy often also hosts exhibitions curated by Slovenian museums.
Besides a series of cultural events held at the Embassy, including concerts, film screenings, plays, panel discussions, lectures, wine tastings, cooking lessons, tourist promotions and at least five exhibitions a year, the Embassy presents many of its events in collaboration with other embassies and consulates, non-governmental and nonprofit organisations, Slovenian societies and clubs in the USA, universities and other partner organisations. In 2016 alone, the Embassy organised around 140 events, trying to embrace all aspects of the arts, from architectural showcases to films, sculptures, paintings, visual arts, dance, theatre and music. Many of these events were dedicated to the 25th anniversary of Slovenia's independence.
In addition to introducing Slovenian culture to US audiences, the Embassy is also active in Mexico. With the assistance of honorary consuls in Mexico City and Guadalajara, Slovenian writers participate in the Guadalajara Book Fair every year, while theatre groups perform at different festivals (such as FCTAI in Zacatecas). Most recently, curator Vasja Nagy presented the Art in a Suitcase project in Mexico, which featured several Slovenian artists.
The Embassy of Slovenia also participates in annual cultural events organised in cooperation with the Delegation of the European Union in Washington, DC, other EU member states' embassies, non-EU embassies, consulates, non-governmental and nonprofit organisations and universities. The Embassy is also an active member of two European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) clusters – the EUNIC Washington cluster and the EUNIC New York cluster, both dedicated to promoting contemporary European culture in the US.
The American Slovenian Educational Foundation and Kerže Endowment Fund work enhance cooperation between Slovenia and the US in the context of educational programmes, such as the Fulbright Program. The Embassy regularly collaborates with the VTIS Association and the Society for Slovene Studies, and has for the past three years organised a Science and Educational Showcase for researchers, scientists and scholars, with the support of the Slovenian diaspora.

The relationship to the harbor and an iconic super-tall building were prime drivers in the core downtown area.
Master plan and design guidelines for a new waterfront city for 500,000 people. Massing, density, urban character, transportation and technical facilities are included in the project's scope.
Another exercise in master planning.


Domestic services are operated by Pakistan International Airlines (www.piac.com.pk), Shaheen Air (www.shaheenair.com) and Airblue (www.airblue.com). There are many daily flights between Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Multan, Peshawar, Sukkur, Faisalabad and Quetta.
The roads in Pakistan can be chaotic and dangerous, particularly outside the major cities where drivers face hazards such as animals, mountain passes and extreme weather.
While travellers might note the presence of car hire facilities in Pakistan's major cities, it's not advisable for foreigners to rent a car in Pakistan. Hiring a car with a driver is a much more sensible option.
The highway network between cities is poorly maintained and caution should be taken when driving at night as roads are badly lit. It's advised that tourists to Pakistan travel with local drivers or guides. When driving it's advised to keep doors and windows locked at all times.
Lahore to Islamabad (M-2) is on a six-lane freeway, as is Peshawar to Islamabad (M-1). Hyderabad to Karachi is currently a four-lane road but is being upgraded (M-9). The Lahore Ring Road is also a six-lane motorway, but is incomplete, with several kilometres under construction. All other major motorways are four lanes.
Car hire is available in all major cities, and most major airports, but driving in Pakistan can be a dangerous enterprise. A safer and less stressful option is to hire a car and driver, which you can do through companies such as Rent A Car Pakistan (tel: +92 21 3497 1418; www.rentacarservice.pk).
24-hour radio taxi firms exist in most of the country's large cities. By international standards the fares are cheap. Taxis are black and yellow or just yellow; make sure you are on a meter or at least agree a price beforehand.
The Karakoram Highway, from Islamabad to Kashgar in China, is a popular and demanding bike journey for the fit and adventurous. While cycling is not recommended in and around the cities, further afield in areas such as the Potwar Plateau, between Islamabad and Peshawar, cycling is much safer.
Daewoo Express (www.daewoo.com.pk) is the most popular inter-city bus company in Pakistan. It operates an advanced transport network, calling at most major towns and cities in the country.
Renting a car requires a deposit or an imprint of a credit card. A passport is also required.
Extensive bus and minibus services operate in Lahore, Karachi and other towns, although services can be crowded. Taxis and auto rickshaws are widely available. Note that they may not operate after sunset during Ramadan.
Pakistan Railways (tel: +92 117) operates the extensive rail network, much of which is a legacy of British rule. The main line, from Karachi to Lahore, Rawalpindi and Peshawar, has several daytime and overnight trains. Most other routes have several daily trains. Even first-class compartments can be hot and crowded. Travel in air-conditioned coaches is advised, as are reservations on long-distance journeys and overnight service.
Trains are of these classes: air-con sleeper, first-class sleeper, air-con lower class (both seat and sleeper versions), parlour car, economy-seat class, second-class seat and second-class sleeper.
Children under three years of age travel free. Children aged three to 11 years pay half fare. Concessions are available for tourists (on presentation of a certificate issued by the Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation), excluding Indian nationals travelling by rail. A discount of 25% is offered to individuals and groups, and 50% for students. Details are available from railway offices in Pakistan.
Karachi to Lahore is approximately 20 hours; to Rawalpindi is 28 hours and to Peshawar is 32 hours; Lahore to Rawalpindi is 5 hours. Trains can be a good way to travel along Pakistan's vast distances, but they get very booked up and busy. This can be a particular problem for travellers boarding at intermediate points. Long-haul trains are often subject to delay.
Always secure luggage to racks with locks and chains, if travelling overnight by train; it's wise to wear an underclothes money belt to keep valuables safe. There can sometimes be incidents on the rail network in Baluchistan and Sind. There have also been a number of derailments.
Traffic along the Indus River is almost exclusively commercial. Many goods are carried to Punjab and the north from the main port at Karachi.


It's designed to give the US more leg room in the sanction stakes but may end up having its own hemming consequences. The designation by the Trump administration of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organisation was meant to expand options for the US while shutting others out. While Trump attempts to defrost matters with North Korea, Iran has played the convenient bugbear.
The IRGC has certainly made its effective, often bloody mark on Middle Eastern affairs. As US-led forces blundered in Iraq, leaving a security vacuum rich with opportunity, Iran saw a golden chance to increase its influence and harass the invaders. The role played by IRGC's Quds Force in supplying Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFPs) or Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to militants in Iraq was cited in 2015 as a key reason for US policymakers to abandon the Iran nuclear deal. "I understand," claimed Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex) in a July 29, 2015 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, "that the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency has a classified list of roughly 500 American soldiers who were murdered by Iranian IEDs." US Central Command revealed a different figure: between November 2005 and December 2011, the number of US combatant deaths arising from EFP "events" stood at 196.
Till this point, the approach to the IRGC has been one of economic encirclement featuring attempts to get to the organisation via other entities. The move to target the IGRC was already underway in other branches of the US government. The Treasury designated the Quds Force in 2007 a supporter of terrorism, sanctioning entities connected with it. It has assumed pride of place on the US Specially Designated Global Terrorist List. The IGRC itself, as former Under-Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, is on record as saying, "is already fully sanctioned," making the issue one of superfluous classification and needlessly provocative.
Rhetorical retaliation was not long in coming and seemed almost casual. The US was branded as a "state sponsor of terrorism" with its military elements in the Middle East duly designated as "terrorist groups." The move, suggested Iranian state TV, had as much to do with US dislike of Tehran's influence in the region as it did with its success in "fighting Islamic State." Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in calling the move on Trump's part "a major strategic mistake," insisted that the new designation by Tehran would include "US military bases and their military forces in the region" and "confronted accordingly." Araghchi, like Trump, was merely stating the obvious, and dangerous turn in relations.

Economic impact of climate change on Bangladesh necessitates financial and technical support: UNRC
On Tuesday, November 8, UN Resident Coordinator Gwyn Lewis in Bangladesh stated that climate change is having an effect on Bangladesh's economy and urged swift action to provide financial and technological support to the most affected nations, including Bangladesh.
She mentioned some of the areas where the UN is focusing to support Bangladesh and stated that the data shows that Bangladesh experienced economic losses from 2000 to 2019 totaling more than $3.72 billion as a result of extreme weather events linked to climate change.
"This leads to another area of work that the UN is supporting in Bangladesh- supporting economic growth and LDC graduation," she said adding "The growth of the economy in Bangladesh over the past twenty years has been extraordinary, as has been the reduction in poverty."
Speaking at "DCAB Talk", the flagship programme of the Diplomatic Correspondents Association, Bangladesh (DCAB), at Jatiya Press Club , she said before the Coronavirus hit the country, Bangladesh had been advancing at pace to qualify for graduation.
DCAB President Rezaul Karim Lotus and General Secretary AKM Moinuddin also spoke at the event.
Although the pandemic has been disruptive, Lewis said the economy remained on a positive track. However, the current food and fuel crisis generated by the war is also creating pressures and uncertainty, including for the markets for Bangladeshi goods overseas.
In this global climate, although there are benefits to graduation there are also risks, she observed.
"Graduation will enhance the confidence of the country in dealing with the international financial bodies, improve Bangladesh's credit rating and attract higher foreign direct investment flow; however graduation will also affect certain preferential treatments in trade, subsidy to agriculture and access to some LDC-specific funds," said the UNRC.
The risks need to be mitigated and this is where she hoped that the UN's technical support can be useful.
"Further diversification is needed, greater efforts to attract Foreign direct investment and efforts made to regulate in order to meet the requirements for trade agreements when Bangladesh reaches middle income status."
In this context, she said the UN is working to support the government in the development of a Smooth Transition Strategy to do what is possible to make the transition as seamless as possible
Training of young people in IT and new technologies to make them better equipped for the future is one area where effort could be expanded. Another is the creation of new industries and continuing to make Digital Bangladesh a reality.
"I would also like to emphasise however, as important as LDC graduation is that Middle Income status is only a stepping stone. Ultimately the objective is achieving the sustainable development goals and to leave no one behind." Achieving the SDGs goes beyond economic growth and focuses on improving health and education and social protection and good governance, she added.
Gwyn Lewis said Bangladesh's social indicators, such as gender equity, women empowerment, mortality rate, life expectancy, immunisation and access to water and sanitation have improved dramatically over the past 50 years.
Investments in social services however need to continue to grow with the growing population, and with the growing expectations of people who are living in a middle income country, she said.
Turning to ongoing COP 27, she said it comes at a time when South Asia is impacted in unprecedented ways by climate change whether it is the floods in Pakistan or in Sylhet and, Shunamganj Bangladesh or repeated cyclones in India and Bangladesh in recent years.
Unfortunately climate talks have been bogged down in politics and economic pressures, so we need to see more citizen action and listen to the voices of all people living in Bangladesh, particularly young people and women who are often excluded but also know what can help us save the planet.
She said one of the recommendations following the recent visit of the Special Rapporteur on Climate Change and Human Rights to Bangladesh was to focus on inclusion and making sure the voices of the most marginalised were included in decision making.
"As the UN we plan to further work on supporting the government to implement the national adaptation plan and the other policy frameworks such as the Delta plan and the Mujib climate prosperity action plan. The UN with our NGO and Red Crescent partners are also supporting Disaster Risk Management and humanitarian efforts led by the Ministry."
The UNRC further said there are also ongoing programs underway to support migrants and displaced people who are leaving their homes due to the impact of climate change. "By one estimate, up to 50% of those now living in Bangladesh's urban slums may be there because they were forced to flee their rural homes as a result of riverbank flooding."
Meanwhile, in reply to questions, the Resident Coordinator Gwyn Lewis expressed concerns over the political violence that has injured and killed people over the last few months in Bangladesh. In this context, Lewis said she is talking to the political parties about how things can be done in a safe way. "I am talking with the ministry of home affairs and also talking with various security forces to try and protect lives."
Protests and rallies are parts of democracy they should be respected, she said adding that "We hope we can call for that calm and find avenues of dialogue among various parties. On another question, Gwyn Lewis said that it's not for her or UN to take decision or engage in the process of Bangladesh election.
"Unless we get a specific request from Security Council or General Assembly or the country, there is no mandate for the UN here to engage in election," she added.

Bhabhi, India, 15 March 1957
Although a graduate in Arts, Shanta agrees to get married to a much lesser educated widowed businessman, Ratanlal, who has a son, Mithu, from his first marriage, and re-locates to live with him, his brothers; Ramesh, Rajan, & Baldev, and an aunt. Ratanlal permits her to let her child-widowed sister, Lata, to also live with them. Shanta soon earns the respect and love of everyone in the family. Ramesh gets married to Advocate Motilal's daughter, Tara, while Rajan gets married to Mangala, who is Munshiram's daughter. After these marriages, misunderstandings crop up, generally generated by Mangala, so much so that Tara joins forces with her, forcing the brothers to separate from each other, with Ratanlal dividing the property and business equally amongst them, and re-locating in a small village house, while Ramesh now lives with Tara and her brother, Jeevan and his wife. Rajan does not get along with Mangala, takes to alcohol in a big way, stops his medical studies and joins the army, and Baldev re-locates to Bombay. The question remains will this troubled family ever be re-united again during their respective lifetimes?

DMZ 5: The Hidden War, a war comic about non-combatants
Cory Doctorow 6:20 am Mon Sep 15, 2008
The fifth collected volume of Brian Wood's comic DMZ, "The Hidden War," does the least to advance the story of any of the collections to date — but does more to advance its theme than any book so far. And that makes it the best book in the series, if you ask me.
DMZ, for those of you who've missed it, is Brian Wood's brilliant (anti-)war comic, telling the story of Matty Roth, a news-rookie who ends up being the only trusted reporter on the besieged island of Manhattan, the DMZ in an American civil war that has torn the city to shreds.
The thing that sets DMZ apart, more than anything else, is its glorification of non-combatants as the true heroes of war. The people who don't want to shoot a gun at anyone, who want to live and love and eat and take care of their children and make art and do their jobs. The true sides to any war are the warriors (of both sides) and the people in their way. The ideological differences between combatants and non-combatants are much deeper than those between the combatants themselves. People who think jihad and the war on terror are both ridiculous have less in common with jihadis and terror-warriors than those parties have with each other.
Book five, "The Hidden War," tells the tales of those non-combatants more vividly than any of the other books to date. Skipping between a graffiti artist, a DJ, a reporter, a mob boss, and an eco-warrior, The Hidden War threads these loosely connected stories together into a unitary whole whose message is, "Fight your war somewhere else." It's a powerful message, and one exceedingly well conveyed through the tense plotting and sharp dialog that have established Wood as one of the great comic-writers of the decade.
DMZ Vol. 5: The Hidden War
* DMZ Friendly Fire: reinventing war comics, making them better and more important
* DMZ Public Works: New collection of moving, thrilling graphic novel
* DMZ: graphic novel, a worthy successor to Transmetropolitan

Woodland trees are dying at an increasingly alarming rate due to rising numbers of pests and pathogens damaging the trees. Some of the more commonly associated, and more damaging pathogens affecting these are Phytophthoras and Chalara. Phytophthoras is a genus of Oomycetes and is the name given to a large group of pathogens which most frequently affects Larch and Rhododendron. It spreads by water-based spores between soil particles in short distances but can produce longer-lasting spores from the roots of decaying, infected trees...
Woodland trees are dying at an increasingly alarming rate due to rising numbers of pests and pathogens damaging the trees. Some of the more commonly associated, and more damaging pathogens affecting these are Phytophthoras and Chalara.
Phytophthoras is a genus of Oomycetes and is the name given to a large group of pathogens which most frequently affects Larch and Rhododendron. It spreads by water-based spores between soil particles in short distances but can produce longer-lasting spores from the roots of decaying, infected trees which will infect an entire area. Symptoms of the disease include wilting, sparse foliage and branch dieback along with deteriorating roots.
Chiara ash dieback affects Ash trees and is caused by a fungus called Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. It was first confirmed in 2012 in the UK and causes leaf loss, bark lesions, and crown dieback; it is usually fatal and makes the trees more susceptible to the effects of other pests and pathogens but appears to have less of an effect on older trees. Chiara spread is difficult to contain because it can spread in a close range by wind or by the transportation of affected timber. The loss of Ash could massively alter ecosystems. Ash trees are very versatile to provide a nutrient-rich leaf litter which breaks down to form brown earth soil, allowing the growth of many other plant species. There are over 1000 species identified a being associated with Ash trees so the death of these trees could be vital to a loss in species diversity.

The transcription and translation of this document known as "The Trewe Encounter or Battle" is the first printed account of the Battle of Flodden. The undated document in Old English was written after the battle, probably by an Englishman from a verbal account, and closes with the words "Imprinted by me. Richard Faques, Dwelling In Poulys Church Yard".
One copy of the document to which I had access has missing pages, as in one instance the narrative doesn't follow on. These pages are included in a subsequent copy of the document (See para. 3).
In 1867, at the "Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland" a paper was presented by David Laing Esq. LLD (VPSA-Scot) who had discovered a printed document at a sale of autographs, and was able to identify it as a report of the Battle of Flodden. On closer inspection he was surprised to find it was almost an exact copy of the original document except that it included the missing pages.
It would appear that the person who initially made this report was not familiar with the area, as the account states that "My Lord Surrey . . . removed to a field called Wooler Haugh within 3 miles of the King of Scots". Flodden Hill is in fact nearer 7 miles from Wooler Haugh, and in the extra pages it also states that on 8th September the whole English army moved from Wooler Haugh to Barmoor "within sight of the King of Scots, at the furthest from him within 2 miles". At the closest the English army would never be nearer than 5 miles from Flodden.
Many books have been written about the Battle of Flodden by a number of eminent authors, all of whom appear to base their work on "The Trewe Encounter", albeit with their own interpretation of the circumstances.
No mention is made as to the positions of the English or Scots guns. However, in an account of the Battle of Flodden by Robert White published in 1848, he includes a sketch plan of the "battles" which shows the position of the guns of both sides, but there is no indication of the origin of this information.
On leaving Flodden Hill, the Scots army were said to have burned all their rubbish to provide a smokescreen for their movements. If the army was moving directly from Flodden Hill to Branxton Hill, they themselves would have been marching in clouds of acrid smoke if it hid the manoeuvre from the English. They also allegedly left the baggage train, later found intact by the English. Would they have started a big fire in the vicinity of a baggage train they intended to recover? Was it also wise to create a smoke screen which would effectively obscure the advance of the English Army unless there were watchers at strategic points to report back, and how long had they been in position to warn of the imminent attack?
"The Trewe Encounter" states that "The said King of Scots did cause his tents to be taken up and keeping the heights of the mountain, removed with his great power and pursuance of people out of the said forest towards Scotland". This seems to suggest that he moved his entire force, baggage train, guns – and army, westwards, along the ridge of Flodden Edge as far as the heights of Branxton Moor, also within a short distance and sight of Branxton Hill but with an angled approach – southwest to northeast. Coldstream (Scotland) is clearly visible from here, downhill and only about 5 miles distant.
These are only some of the many questions remaining after reading this document, but going back to the original primary sources has given me the opportunity to try to understand much more of the circumstances surrounding the battle and to realise that subsequent reports are not completely reliable. There is always the temptation to embellish - either accidentally or otherwise - any report passed by word of mouth and it would appear that this has occurred several times during the past five hundred years. My interest in the Battle of Flodden Field continues and I hope that in the not too distant future further evidence will become available so that many of these questions will be answered.

Tracy Morgan's comeback tour to include Atlantic City stop
Jana Shea
Comedian Tracy Morgan is launching a stand-up tour that will include a stop in Atlantic City.
Morgan will bring his "Picking Up the Pieces" show to Harrah's Resort on Friday, Feb. 12.
The comeback tour marks a much anticipated return to comedy for the former star of 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live, who spent months in rehabilitation therapy following near fatal injuries sustained in a 2014 auto accident.
On June 7, 2014, a Wal-Mart tractor trailer rear-ended the limo bus carrying Morgan and three other comedians on the New Jersey Turnpike, near Cranbury Twp. The multi-vehicle accident took the life of close friend and fellow comedian, James "Jimmy Mack" McNair, and left Morgan in a coma for two weeks with several broken bones and a traumatic brain injury.
The truck's driver was later found to have been awake more than 28 hours at the time of the crash by the National Transportation Safety Board and is charged with manslaughter, vehicular homicide and aggravated assaulted. Morgan sued Wal-Mart and settled the case out of court last May.
He marked his initial return to comedy last October by hosting an episode of Saturday Night Live.
Tickets range from $55 to $75.
Friday, Feb. 12, 9 p.m. – 777 Harrah's Blvd., Atlantic City, NJ.

E / Entertainment

by Michelle Lee / January 11, 2021
We're almost a month into the new year and it seems that 2021 seems to be shaping up pretty well for many of us. But if there's one thing that we're getting excited about at the moment: the slew of exciting new Korean dramas that are coming our way. From those that are currently airing new episodes to ones slated to be broadcasted this year, here are the ones you don't want to miss this year.

Mr Queen
What it's about: If you prefer a more light-hearted series that includes a few laughs but all of the drama, put Mr Queen on your to-watch list.
Starring Shin Hye-sun and Kim Jung-hyun, the first episode aired in in December last year, and it marries the treacherous royal palace period drama with a comedic body-swap. It starts with lead character Jang Bong-hwan, the arrogant head chef for the president in the Blue House, who later finds himself unemployed and questioned by detectives.
After slipping from his balcony and into the pool, he encounters a mysterious woman and suddenly wakes up in a strange place. Not only has he travelled back to the Joseon era, he's turned into a woman – Kim So-yong (Shin Hye-sun) – and about to marry King Cheol-jong (Kim Jung-hyun) to become Queen Cheorin.
As he tries to fit in with the court's strict social decorum, he has to somehow try to find a way to refill the lakes – which have been drained – jump back in and return to his body in the present.
Available on Viu.
What it's about: If you aren't already hooked on this, you'll want to tune in. Touching on teen insecurities and Korean culture's obsession with beauty, the drama is adapted from a hugely popular webtoon of the same name by Yaongyi, and made it to the silver screen in December last year.
Moon Ga-young plays 18-year-old Ju-kyoung, who is cruelly bullied at school for her looks and has an inferiority complex. However, she gets massively popular after mastering the art of makeup through video tutorials.
Determined to hide her real face after enrolling at a new school, she also gets entangled with not one but two love interests (played by Hwang In-yeop and Cha Eun-woo). Sure, the plot does border on exaggeration and slight cheesiness, for the most part, but the cast's performance, fun graphics, and set design, and humorous elements are likely to steal your heart.
The Royal Secret Agent
What it's about: Another period drama set during the close of the Joseon era, it follows the story of Sung Yi-gyum (Kim Myung-soo), who placed first in the state examination and now works at the Hongmungwan (administrative and research department). After getting caught gambling, he is assigned to work as a secret royal inspector to eradicate corruption among government officials, with the help of female inspector Hong Da-in (Kwon Na-ra )and his servant Park Chun-sam (Lee Yi-kyung).
Up for lots of action? You're likely to see plenty of action scenes, gunfights and explosions in Sisyphus: The Myth. This fantasy-mystery drama sees actors Cho Seung Woo and Park Shin Hye fending off mysterious hidden beings as genius engineer Han Tae Sool and his saviour Kang Seo Hae.
Han Tae Sool's ability in engineering and coding has set mysterious figures residing in our world after him, and he embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth. Kang Seo Hae believes that if she saves him, he can save the world.
The pair then join forces to create a future different from the one that they are stuck in.
"Sisyphus: The Myth" is slated to premiere in Feb 2021.
What it's about: Starring lead actors Jung Hae-in and K-pop band Blackpink's Jisoo, the cast also includes familiar faces like Yoo In-na and Kim Hye-yoon.
Created by 'Sky Castle' director and writer, Jo Hyun-tak and Yoo Hyun-mi, the show is set in 1987, and showcases the love story of Soo Ho (Jung Hae-in), a student at a prestigious university, and fellow student Eun Young-cho (Jisoo). Soo Ho barges into a female dorm one day while covered in blood. There, Young Cho helps hide him from his pursuers and cares for him despite the risks.
However, what Soo-Ho doesn't realise is that the two previously met at a blind date, and Young-Cho had already fallen in love with him.
'Snowdrop' is expected to premiere in 2021.

What it's about: Apple's international drama series Pachinko stars Lee Min Ho of Boys Over Flower fame as well as American actor Jin Ha, and is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Korean-American author Min Jin Lee.
Set in the 20th century, the family saga follows four generations of a Korean family as they move to Japan, amid the country's colonisation of Korea and other seismic political and cultural shifts.
Lee Min Ho plays Hansu, an enigmatic outsider and merchant with ties to organised crime, while Jin Ha portrays Solomon, an ambitious, charming young man who is forced to deal with his family's past.
Pachinko is slated to be released on Apple TV+ in 2021.

Arthdal Chronicles 2
What it's about: Fans of Song Joong-ki will get to see him back in the Arthdal Chronicles 2. Other leading stars include Jan Dong-gun, Kim Ji-Won and Kim Ok-vin.
The period drama is set in the mythical land of Arth, with the inhabitants of the ancient city of Arthdal and its surrounding regions vying for power as they build a new society.
In the second season, expect to be held in suspense by the same power struggles that prevailed in season one.
