What's new in Android 7.0 Nougat?
Grzegorz MatyszczakAndroid Developer
After all the speculations about the name of the new Android version (there were bets if is it going to be Nutella or maybe Namey McNameface), we've finally learned that it will be Android Nougat! The 1st preview version was released on March 9, even before the Google I/O 2016 event, so people could play around and pass some feedback to Google engineers. At the moment there's 5th preview version available and it is a good moment to review the all new features of Android Nougat.
Multi-Window
From now on users will be able to display multiple applications simultaneously on the screen. But remember that developers can block their apps from being resizable, so not all of them may work in that mode. There are 3 modes of the multi-window feature:
Split Screen
Apps are displayed side by side or top to bottom, depending on the screen orientation. To launch it, you just go to recents, long press on the application and drag it to the top of the screen to use it in split screen. Then press on another application and enjoy using them side by side. If you want to resize windows, you can drag the movable bar located between them.
Another mode allows to display a small preview of the activity on top of another activity and it works for Android TV. It could be useful for playing a video in one application while doing something else in another app.
The last mode allows to display applications anywhere on the screen and resize them freely, just like on the regular desktop. The activity window also contains caption/title area at the top and window control buttons like close and maximise.
Multi-Window Drag & Drop
It is also possible to drag & drop elements between applications that are in multi-window mode. To dive deeper into the new multi-window features you can check the fresh series of posts on our blog.
This important part of the system were updated too. First of all, they changed the notifications design. It still contains old elements, only located differently, plus some new ones like app name and expander icon. Once you expand the notification, you can see the action buttons, that are only in the form of labels and without the icons. Beside new design, notifications now can be bundled into groups and, unlike in the previous Android versions, you can see each notification in a group separately. The next new feature worth mentioning is a direct reply from the notification, even when the screen is locked. For example, the user can type a reply directly in the notification and it can be sent right away in the messaging app.
Quick Settings
In Android Nougat users can access few chosen settings from above the notification list. It is a list of "quicker-quick settings" as we heard on Google I/O. After expanding the panel they can see all the quick settings that are now editable, which means that user can add or remove settings of choice and reorder them accordingly to their preferences. The good news for developers is that they can create their own quick settings tiles for the apps.
In settings, users were able to change the font size of the whole system. It affected all the texts, but whole layouts stayed unaffected. From now on users can change also display size and unlike the font size change, this one will affect the whole layout. All the components on the screen will be resized, even the toolbars. While changing the display size you will see a nice preview of how the current setting would look like in the piece of UI example.
Multi-Locale
In the language settings users can choose now more than one language and order them. These will be the preferred languages. And for example, if the application doesn't support the language that users has chosen at first place, but it supports the second one, the app would be displayed in the second language.
Doze mode was first introduced in Android Marshmallow and it got updated in Nougat. Before talking about its changes, let's recall how it's worked so far. The general purpose of Doze mode is to save battery life. When the device doesn't change the location, its screen is turned off and it works on the battery, after some time of inactivity it goes into Doze mode. It means that background operations are limited to work in maintenance windows, so apps cannot access device's resources whenever they want to. The longer device stays in Doze mode, the less frequently maintenance windows occur. In Android Nougat, there's a new, lighter Doze mode added. It restricts fewer background operations. It is launched whenever the screen is off, and the device is on battery but it doesn't have to be stationary. That's the difference between light Doze mode and deep Doze mode. After some time in light Doze mode, the device goes into deep Doze mode.
Data Saver
If you go to the Data usage settings screen, there's a new Data saver option. It allows the user to turn on data saving mode and decide which applications will have restricted access in this mode and which won't.
Direct Boot
If the user has pin code set up on the device and it will reboot unexpectedly, applications wouldn't restart as long as the user doesn't put in the pin code. That's what was happening on previous Android versions. Because of that, some messages or phone calls might have been missed. Starting from Android Nougat, some applications will be granted the permission to run before users enter the pin code, so the users won't miss anything important.
Scoped Directory Access
There's also change in the accessing external storage permission. From now on there's a Scoped Directory Access permission, which grants access only to a specific directory. It prevents some security issues that might have been happening.
These are the main new features in Android Nougat. If you would like to test the new Android version on your device or the emulator you can follow this link.

*I'm not sure how I acquired records 67 years before I was born!
*Total playing time is the summing of the listed playing time of each track. Estimated playing time (EPT) is the number of tracks multiplied by the average track length. Since some tracks do not list their playing time the EPT probably represents a more realistic listening time.


Yes, one might think that things always work out this way-two steps back for every one step forward.
But, in this case, I think a couple steps back is just what I needed. I recently posted an excerpt of a story I'm working on. It was an idea really, in draft form. It was my attempt to add some depth to a character in a story.
Well, a big thank you goes out to Donna Hole, the only person responding to the post and having the cajones grandes to set me straight with some real solid honest feedback. Of course, I must also thank my wife who, after reading the excerpt and Donna's statement, agreed with everything she said.
I must admit, the feedback from my wife broke my heart, but that's a good thing. Sometimes a broken heart is an open heart. It took this to get through my pride and make me step back and see this more as a reader than the writer; the creator.
So, what am I doing with this now? After some evaluation, I realized that everything was wrong with this character. Where's his vulnerability? Where's his badass personality and actions? You see, I was trying to create a character fit for the story at hand, and I was trying to force the story arc in a direction of romance. If I have two very strong, independent personalities working with, and sometimes, against each other, are they just going to fall in love?
I'm falling in love with the story again. Not the story I wrote but the story still in my head-the story that is being re-written. Joseph Johnson is cocooned in my head right now reforming; becoming stronger, badder, colder, more vulnerable. And when he emerges, even his new name will support his character.
You see, sometimes, in writing, the author must take a step back and allow for some real growth and changes. I find so often that writers I know (myself included) respond with argument to honest feedback-even when they ask for comments or feedback. One cannot expect to learn and grow if one does not open their ears, eyes, mind, and heart to the possibility.
The wait may be just a little longer for this story to re-emerge but I hope readers will find it all worth it when it does. For those of you that already read this story in its previous form (Summer Ellis) I only hope you approve of the reincarnation.
If this post were to amount to some advice to be dispensed among my author friends, it would be this: ninety percent of what we write is going to be crap, that's okay. Give yourself permission to write it, judge it, and then lock it away. Just don't throw it away because you never know when some spark my bring it back to life.
There is a relatively success author by the name of Stephen King that once told an audience about a book he first imagined back when he was in high school or college. He wrote a chapter or two before putting it away because he just couldn't seem to make it work. Years later, he reopened his work and realized that he just didn't have the ability in his younger years to write the story. He realized that, in his youth, the story was too big. Armed with all the tools of a well-seasoned author he finished the story. It was called "Under the Dome" and was even picked up as a television series.

LISTENING TO PEOPLE'S VOICES: How well do public services do in Myanmar?
Myanmar's first-ever perception survey that uses digital survey data is currently being conducted across the Union. The Central Statistical Organizations (CSO) is co-leading the process with the Union Civil Service Board (UCSB) to learn about citizens' opinions and experiences with government services. How are they using innovation in assessing the perceived quality of public service delivery?
By Marc Weilenmann, Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Officer (LEAP)
Enumerator from the Central Statistics Organization (CSO) during a PPSoGS interview in April 2019.
End-users matter: Understanding the way people perceive Government Services
"There was no statistically robust, nation-wide survey that could have informed policy-makers about the opinions and experiences of the ones using public services", says Valentina Bianchini, project manager of UNDP's LEAP (Leadership, Effectiveness, Adaptability and Professionalism in Myanmar's Civil Service) project. This year, the Public Perception Survey of Government Services (PPSoGS) set out to fill this lack of data by collecting disaggregated data on the way the people of Myanmar perceive the provision of government services.

"The best way to know how public services are perceived is by asking the end-users themselves: the people of Myanmar", Valentina adds. By end of April, 1,713 out of 2,500 people in Myanmar have been interviewed about their experiences with public services, including their related exposure to corruption. Data will be disaggregated and will ultimately provide useful information to policy-makers. For example, PPSoGS found that the average number of government services that people use is surprisingly low (five, as of 29 April 2019).
Ensure national ownership: Forging national partnerships and building capacity
A plot of PPSoGS clusters on Google maps (April 2019) showing where interviews have been already.
UNDP Myanmar's Resident Representative Peter Batchelor states that "We are delighted that the Government of Myanmar has taken the lead in implementing the PPSoGS. National ownership is critical for such an activity... It's not only about having the right people taking responsibility but also about building capacities in key national institutions like the CSO and the UCSB that help to make these development efforts more sustainable."
The PPSoGS provides a unique opportunity for the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) and the Union Civil Service Board (UCSB) to join forces to advance inclusive and evidence-based policy making. LEAP mobilized UCSB's Civil Service Reform Action Plan (2017-2020) and built capacity in the CSO to conduct the survey using a Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) system. At country level, the future National Indicator Framework (NIF) of the Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan (MSDP) will rely substantially on the data from the PPSoGS, to measure and track the impact of civil service reform.
Over 30 IT and statistical staff from CSO being trained by UNDP for the PPSoGS (December 2018)
Targeted capacity building efforts (including knowledge transfer) enabled the CSO to assume responsibility for the survey's implementation: enumerators, an all-female IT team, and field supervisors built their capacities and had access to international specialists' advice on survey techniques, statistical robustness, and quality assurance. While CSO gained technical knowledge and practical experience, UCSB is now able to keep track of the impact of its Civil Service Reform. For example, through practical experiences in the field CSO enumerators learned to be more time-efficient in using CAPI, saving 10 minutes in average per interview.
This line graph shows the average length of interviews in minutes between 29 March and 30 April 2019. It illustrates how interview time is decreasing over time, which indicates that CSO enumerator become increasingly time-efficient in using CAPI.
Make technology count: Digitalizing data and assuring statistical quality
"You can save time!" says U Aung Moe Oo, CSO Deputy Statistician. It is the first time a Myanmar institution leverages Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) to make data collection and quality assurance more efficient. Interviewers enter the questionnaire responses into electronic tablets, and the data lands on the CSO cloud account the very same day. They digitalize data on the spot and add valuable information such as GPS locations and exact interview time.
An enumerator from CSO recording survey answers digitally during an interview in April 2019.
"We can download (survey answers) directly from the server and we can check it directly," says Daw Thet Htar Nwe, Assistant Director of the CSO survey section. For example, daily quality assurance found women to be overrepresented during the first week of data collection. CSO statisticians saw the problematic patterns in the incoming data and promptly reacted. CSO contacted enumerators instructing them to change the interview time to facilitate the participation of men.
Number of interviews and gender of respondents of the PPSoGS between 29 March and 12 April. The graph illustrates that until 5 April the gap between male and female respondents increased. It also shows that after quality assurance intervened, the sex of total respondents was more balanced, reaching equity on 11 April.
The PPSoGS drew decisively on using new technologies to listen to the voice of the people of Myanmar, building national ownership and partnerships between institutions. The full survey report is expected to be published in the second half of 2019. Further technical specifications about the survey methodology and the application of the CAPI system can be found in the latest LEAP publication "Asking the people of Myanmar: Public Perception Survey of Government Services".

Tennis-Kokkinakis sees off Cilic, Keys to face Riske in Adelaide final
Fri, Jan 14, 2022 0 Comments
ADELAIDE (Reuters) -Australia's Thanasi Kokkinakis reached his first ATP final in almost five years after battling fourth seed Marin Cilic at the Adelaide International 2 tournament on Friday, while Madison Keys sealed a comeback victory over third seed Coco Gauff.
Local hope Kokkinakis beat Cilic 6-2 3-6 7-6(10) in two hours and 38 minutes, reaching his career-second ATP final since the Los Cabos Open in Mexico in August 2017.
The 25-year-old prevailed against world number 29 Cilic in a lengthy tie-breaker, edging the former U.S. Open champion 12-10 in the decider.
"I was just playing on adrenaline," Kokkinakis said in his on-court interview before thanking the home crowd for their support. "You guys got me through honestly.
"I am going to enjoy this tonight, as much as I can, and get my body mentally and physically ready for tomorrow. It's going to be a tough final."
In Saturday's title clash, Kokkinakis will face Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech, who will be playing in his first ATP final after beating compatriot Corentin Moutet 6-1 6-3.
World number 58 Rinderknech, who sent down six aces, won 90% of points on his first serve and broke his opponent four times in a controlled display on Centre Court to win in 76 minutes.
"It's a great achievement," the 26-year-old Rinderknech told reporters. "I'm really happy to be in the final. It's a new step again. I made the semi-final in Kitzbuhel last summer. Now final here for my first tournament of the year."
In the women's event, Keys booked herself a spot in the final by beating Gauff 3-6 6-2 7-5 in a close last set.
Keys will meet Alison Riske in an all-American title clash on Saturday. Riske advanced to the final after Slovenia's Tamara Zidansek withdrew from their semi-final match due to an abdominal injury.
It was the second straight withdrawal or retirement Riske benefited from en route to the final after Madison Brengle retired injured at 3-3 in their quarter-final match.
"Coco is a phenomenal player," Keys, bidding to win her first title since Charleston in 2019, told reporters. "I knew I was going to have to play some of my best tennis.
"She's such a good mover that you have to win the point two and three times because she's so good at resetting the point."
Keys described finalist Riske as a "great fighter".
"Her backhand down the line is phenomenal," Keys added. "We played each other in practice like three weeks ago. I'm sure we both know a lot about the other one."

A Idade do Ferro romana () é um período arqueológico da Escandinávia decorrido aproximadamente nos anos 0-375. Foi precedida pela Idade do Ferro pré-romana e sucedida pela Era das Migrações Nórdicas. O aparecimento da escrita rúnica, de inspiração romana e grega, é o legado mais importante da influência cultural da Antiguidade Greco-Latina. A vida nómada começa a ser substituída pela vida sedentária, e a habitação fixa resulta em construções de carácter mais permanente.

5-Stars Book Review on Readers' Favorite for Devil in the Details!
Reviewed By Anne-Marie Reynolds for Readers' Favorite Devil in the Details by Kimberly Brouillette is Book 2 of The Monastery Murders. Wattsville, Maine has been the center of a terrifying killing spree and Detective Williams is looking for help from a different angle – a paranormal investigator. Unable to tell anyone else what he has experienced, Williams and Nancy do their own investigating and discover information that will send the case spiraling off in an unexpected direction. The walls are starting to crumble as the lies begin to be found out and the detectives may be on the trail of the right killer at last. Can they determine who it is before more blood is spilled? Devil in the Details: The Monastery Murders Book 2 by Kimberly Brouillette is even better than the first book. With the scene well and truly set, this book starts off right where book 1 ended. We start to see some of the connections come together in ways that just build the suspense even more. There are plenty more twists and turns in this action-packed sequel and you will be tempted to sit and read the book in one sitting. More clues are spun out, characters are developed even more, and there are a few surprises on offer too. By the end of the book, you will think you know who the killer is, but I think book 3 will hold the real key, the final clues to bring the entire mystery to an end. This is another fantastic offering from Ms. Brouillette, with plenty of non-stop action in a fast sequel. I can't wait to read book 3 now, just to see how it all ends.

DA John Smith and his fiancée, Katy, are embroiled in the crime up to their necks as they battle to bring about justice, but the story is just beginning. Secrets in the Shallows: The Monastery Murders Book 1 by Kimberly Brouillette is a fascinating tale of murder, mystery and the paranormal. It is gripping stuff, a story that hooks you right from the start and drags you deep into a traditional murder mystery but with a paranormal twist. This is a real page-turner and, although there are several stories going on, I promise you that they all have something to do with the main plot, even when they seem to be totally unrelated. This is very clever writing as Ms. Brouillette leads you through a haunting and horrific tale, gradually spilling clues and building suspense as the novel reaches its cliffhanger of an ending, landing you with a crash into book 2. I felt every emotion throughout this book. I felt as though I were there every step of the way. This is an eerie story with fantastic characters and I guarantee you will not have a clue who the murderer is. I made a few guesses but was wrong every step of the way.

James Lawrence Rossi
James Lawrence Rossi passed away from pneumonia, Thursday, March 7, 2019. He was born in 1930 in San Luis Obispo County, Calif.
He was the youngest son of Vincent and Edith Rossi. His father, a second-generation American, lived and farmed a ranch in the Templeton area. His grandfather had come from Switzerland as part of the Swiss migration to Central Coast dairy operations. He went to school in Templeton, junior high in Morro Bay and high school in San Luis Obispo. He began working at the ranch in his early days.
In 1950, after his marriage to Naomi Fleming, Jim and his two brothers, Maurice and Jack, opened a processing plant at their Templeton Dairy where they processed, bottled and delivered milk. When the partnership split up in 1954 and the plant was sold, Jim bought the milk tanker and began hauling San Luis Obispo County milk, down to Santa Barbara to the process plant. Seeing a need, he began hauling hay to the dairies where he picked up milk. In 1953 Rossi Transport became a reality. Since the milk had to be hauled daily, another truck had to be purchased along with hay trailers. Hauling hay is very labor intensive they quickly had to hire help.
Through the 60s, the business grew to four trucks. In the late 60s and early 70s, Jim was doing the sales, dispatching, billing, repairs and sometimes the driving. He also found time to help build two houses and raise four children, Susan, Steve, Julie and Chris.
He hauled milk, hay, fish, grapes, fertilizer, nuts, apples, oranges and anything else that was legal and could fit on the truck.
Jim Rossi was always thinking ahead of the curve, knowing what would be coming next. Yes, there were business ventures that didn't quite pan out like he thought they would, but that didn't' stop him from learning and moving forward. He built his own first Squeeze, composed of parts of trucks and engines from other vehicles (a nightmare to license because of all the different years and ID numbers) but it worked. He bought his first plane and learned to fly when he was in his late 40's. When he turned 65 he finally retired and his children Susan and Steve took over the day-to-day operations. But just like the relatives before, his retirement meant building houses, fixing up rentals, and developing property.
Jim valued hard work. He didn't care who you were or what color you were, as long as you worked hard. When he gave his word, he meant it. He would go out of his way to allow a man his pride, an example of that one time a previous employee who had come on hard times came in trying to sell him something he didn't need. It wasn't even in good shape, but he knew the man needed the money, so he bought it so that he could give the man some money.
Jim loved the Lord and lived out his faith every day. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He survived by his wife of 68 years, his children, Susan Sommers (Scott), Steve Rossi (Laurie), Julie Kauffold (Michael) and Chris Rossi (Dawn); his grandchildren, Shawna Sommers, Ephraim Sommers, Sarah Midgley, Rachael Kauffold, Michlynn Kauffold, Benjamin Rossi, Michael Regan, Evan Rossi, and Aubrey Rossi; and great-grandchildren, Michaela Kauffold, Mae Belle Reddies, Julianne Red Boy, Christian Red Boy, Lexi Regan and Lena Regan; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
Memorial Service will be held Wednesday, March 13, 2:30 p.m. at Gospel Chapel, Atascadero.

New boss admits gas price rise is not welcome
Friday, September 24th, 2010 3:07pm
Gas bills are going up in the Island from next month.
Manx Gas has announced a 5.5 per cent rise in natural gas tarriffs, with LPG going up by 7.6 per cent.
Those increases come into effect from October 8.
The price rise is due to increases in the wholesale energy market, which new managing director Tony Nicholls says the company can do nothing about.
Prices came down by more than eight per cent last year, so the fuel is still cheaper than it was a year ago, but he admits that at a time when the public are being urged to tighten belts, the hike in bills is not welcome:


The last Bank Holiday in May saw me heading to Fife and South Queensferry again for another wee workshop at the Harbour Lane Studio. This time it was Lino Printing. Last year for my birthday mum and dad gave me a lino printing kit, which sat in its box, all pristine and clean, until shortly before Christmas when I decided that I would lino print my Christmas cards. However, although I produced a creditable design/card, I wasn't entirely happy with it and really needed a bit of guidence.
In the Harbour Lane gallery you are surrounded by inspiration, boats, fish, prints, jewellery, lampshades and pictures abound. Almost too much when you have to think of one image. I had thought that I wanted to carve an artichoke image, however after drawing one out I realised that for a 3hour class it was going to be too complicated to carve out in the time. So it was a quick sketch of what I later described as essence of heron!
Tori shows us how the inking and printing is supposed to be done!
With a little extra time to spare I very quickly sketched and carved out this rather lopsided wonky headed puffin!
Inspite of my heron being at bit bosomy, and my puffin being a little wonky, I had a great afternoon doing this workshop and can really recommend it. I picked up lots of hints and tips and my creative m ind went 'wheeeeeee' with excitement and into overdrive at the possibilities, so I am really looking forward to getting into my studio to do a bit more soon.

Q: Why is my HttpClient class freezing with certain URLs I am currently getting to grips with new HttpClient libraries to come up with a basic class to return the html/css/etc. of requested URL.  Using the example taken from here
You can see the example below:
package test;

import org.apache.http.client.ResponseHandler;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.BasicResponseHandler;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;

public class Test {

    public final static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        try {
            HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://www.cwjobs.co.uk/");
            System.out.println("executing request " + httpget.getURI());

            // Create a response handler
            ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
            String responseBody = httpclient.execute(httpget, responseHandler);

            System.out.println(responseBody);
        } finally {
            httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
        }
    }
}

The issue I am having is that if I was to set the URL I want to request to something like http://www.google.com then it prints out the response I need.  However, when I use a URL such as www.cwjobs.co.uk (used merely as an example) it freezes on the execute method.
I am fairly new to Java and I understand the basics of HTTP so I would love to know if:
 - Although I have used a basic example I have done it wrong by either missing something that needs to be added to access that specific URL
 - It is not possible to get the response I want from that specific URL due to environment setup on the Server side.
 - Any extra literature or links you can recommend for me to look over outside of the Apache.org site
Thanks,
Mark

A: You have to set the timeout in DefaultHttpClient for the connection. See: http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-ga/httpcore/apidocs/org/apache/http/params/CoreConnectionPNames.html?is-external=true#SO_TIMEOUT

A: This code is now deprecated (get HttpParams, etc). A better way is:
RequestConfig defaultRequestConfig = RequestConfig.custom().setCookieSpec(CookieSpecs.BEST_MATCH).setExpectContinueEnabled(true).setStaleConnectionCheckEnabled(true).setTargetPreferredAuthSchemes(Arrays.asList(AuthSchemes.NTLM, AuthSchemes.DIGEST)).setProxyPreferredAuthSchemes(Arrays.asList(AuthSchemes.BASIC)).build();

HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
RequestConfig requestConfig = RequestConfig.copy(defaultRequestConfig).setSocketTimeout(5000).setConnectTimeout(5000).setConnectionRequestTimeout(5000).build();
httpGet.setConfig(requestConfig);

PANAREA & STROMBOLI by night
Line: Milazzo Panarea Stromboli Milazzo
Boarding port of Milazzo 11.30 - Departure 12.00**
Just left the port of Milazzo we head for the island of Panarea, the smallest and "fascinating" of the Aeolian Islands, with arrival and landing at the port of San Pietro.
Panarea is truly unique for its charm and beauty. From the harbor you have direct access to the picturesque village of St. Peter with typical white houses arranged side by side, set in a colorful nature.
From here, among the many meeting places, restaurants, shops and boutiques scattered through the streets that cross it, you can reach the main points of attraction (on foot or with local taxi): the Church of San Pietro - with its valuable mosaic and the terrace where you can enjoy a beautiful view, Drauto, the Cala degli Zimmari - with its particular sandy beach. Continuing, there is a path of steps leading to the promontory of Capo Milazzese and the picturesque Baia Junco Bay, an incomparable cove of breathtaking colors and crystal clear sea that houses a small pebble beach. At the top there is a prehistoric village dating back to the Bronze Age (1400 BC) with the remains of 22 oval-shaped stone huts and a quadrangular shaped one, perhaps a place of community meeting and worship.
** At 4.00 pm c.a. there is a direct connection that will allow you to reach the island of Stromboli.
This section of navigation crosses the ancient volcanic conduit of Panarea, with the consequent vision of the volcanic remains that have emerged and scattered in front of the island between Lipari and Stromboli, islets and rocks that have formed a mini-archipelago: Formiche, Dattilo, Panarelli, Lisca Nera, Bottaro, Lisca Bianca, Basiluzzo et Punta Spinazzola.
Stromboli, "Iddu" the black giant that emerges in all its grandeur over the deep blue sea.
By thousands of years it is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, with its "Strombolian shots" - explosions of lapilli, ash and magma visible at regular intervals of 15-20 minutes - it is like a lighthouse for sailors.
From the port of San Vincenzo "Scari", immediately attacked, alternate long black beaches of pebbles and sand. From here, a road crosses the village up to reach the Church of San Vincenzo with its panoramic square in front of which you can see Strombolicchio, also called "grandfather of Stromboli", a part of solidified internal lava of the oldest volcanic cone of all the Aeolian Islands, above which the island's lighthouse was installed.
Continuing along the same road, you can reach the "Ingrid's House", now a house-museum, where it was filmed "Stromboli Terra di Dio" by Roberto Rossellini with Ingrid Bergman, famous film.
At dusk, while in all other islands you spend the evening in a conventional way, with an aperitif, dinner or two jumps at the disco, in Stromboli you can embark and, passing under the Sciara del Fuoco, you can watch from the sea at the sight of incandescent lapilli. When there are effusive eruptions, as it did in 2014, the river of lava slides on the slope and ends in the sea, releasing large columns of steam.
**Arrival in Milazzo expected at 22.45 c.a.

Atrium (architecture)
The Burj Al Arab in Dubai with a 180 m (590 ft) tall atrium
In architecture, an atrium (plural: atria or atriums)[1] is a large open air or skylight covered space surrounded by a building.[2] Atria were a common feature in Ancient Roman dwellings, providing light and ventilation to the interior. Modern atria, as developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries, are often several stories high and having a glazed roof or large windows, and often located immediately beyond the main entrance doors (in the lobby).
Atria are a popular design feature because they give their buildings a "feeling of space and light."[3] The atrium has become a key feature of many buildings in recent years.[4] Atria are popular with building users, building designers and building developers. Users like atria because they create a dynamic and stimulating interior that provides shelter from the external environment while maintaining a visual link with that environment. Designers enjoy the opportunity to create new types of spaces in buildings, and developers see atria as prestigious amenities that can increase commercial value and appeal.[5] Fire control is an important aspect of contemporary atrium design due to criticism that poorly designed atria could allow fire to spread to a building's upper stories more quickly. Another downside to incorporating an atrium is that it typically creates unused vertical space which could otherwise be occupied by additional floors.

2 19th century: Glazed atrium
3 Modern-day atria
3.1 Image examples
Ancient atria[edit]
A late 19th-century artist's reimagining of an atrium in a Pompeian domus
In a domus, a large house in Ancient Roman architecture, the atrium was the open central court with enclosed rooms on all sides. In the middle of the atrium was the impluvium, a shallow pool sunken into the floor to catch rainwater from the roof. Some surviving examples are beautifully decorated. The opening in the ceiling above the pool (compluvium) called for some means of support for the roof, and it is here where one differentiates between five different styles of atrium.[clarification needed] As the centrepiece of the house, the atrium was the most lavishly-furnished room. Also, it contained the little chapel to the ancestral spirits (lararium), the household safe (arca) and sometimes a bust of the master of the house.
The term was also used for a variety of spaces in public and religious buildings, mostly forms of arcaded courtyards, larger versions of the domestic spaces. Byzantine churches were often entered through such a space (as are many mosques, though the term atrium is not usually used to describe Islamic architecture).
19th century: Glazed atrium[edit]
The 19th century brought the industrial revolution with great advances in iron and glass manufacturing techniques. Courtyards could then have horizontal glazing overhead, eliminating some of the weather elements from the space and giving birth to the modern atrium.
Victoria Hall in Halifax Town Hall, 1863
Atrium at the center of the Bradbury Building in Los Angeles
Modern-day atria[edit]
One of the main public spaces at Federation Square, in Melbourne, Australia, is called The Atrium and is a street-like space, five stories high with glazed walls and roof. The structure and glazing pattern follow the system of fractals used to arrange the panels on the rest of the facades at Federation Square.
In Nashville, Tennessee, U.S., the Opryland Hotel hosts 4 different large atria, spanning 9 acres (36,000 m2) of glass ceiling in total, in the hotel above the gardens of: Delta, Cascades, Garden-Conservatories, and Magnolia.
As of 2016, the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, has the world's tallest atrium at 180 metres (590 ft). The Luxor Hotel, in Las Vegas, Nevada, has the largest atrium in the world (by volume) at 29 million cubic feet (820,000 m3).

Jim Breuer is coming to Amsterdam! The crazy state of the world today makes Breuer's upcoming tour Jim Breuer Live all the more essential, as we seek perspective and comic relief from the day to day insanity that drives our 24.7 news cycle and social media. Breuer's set will be decidedly non-political, but he will have much to impart about the foolishness of ruining our lives over media-generated frenzies that we have no control over.

Epsko srednjovjekovno djelo Pjesma o Igorovom pohodu (staroslavenski: Слово о плъку Игоревѣ - Slovo o plŭku Igorevě, ukrajinski: Слово о полку Ігоревім - Slovo o polku Ihorevim, ruski: Слово о полку Игореве - Slovo o polku Igoreve) je nastalo najkasnije 1187. kao odraz poraza novgorodskog kneza Igora u borbi s Polovcima (nomadskim narodom tursko-mongolskoga porijekla, kod nas poznatoga pod imenom Kumani). Knez Igor je u bitci bio zarobljen, a pjesma opisuje i njegov bijeg iz zarobljeništva. Anonimno epsko djelo ima važnu kulturnu vrijednost za sve Istočne Slavene i smatra se podjednako dijelom ruske, ukrajinske i bjeloruske književnosti.

Poraz staroruske vojske (1185.) došao je kao posljedica feudalne rascjepkanosti Kijevske Rusi i nadmetanja pojedinih knezova da svaki za sebe prigrabi što više slave ne brinući se za zajedničke interese zemlje. Strašne posljedice poraza potaknule su nepoznata autora da pjesničkim jezikom progovori ne samo o slavi staroruskoga oružja, nego i o uzrocima nevolja što već više od jednoga stoljeća padaju na starorusku zemlju – o feudalnim razmiricama. Stoga je razumljiv onaj publicistički patos u autorovom obraćanju staroruskim knezovima da stanu u obranu zajedničke domovine. Lirski opisi prirode, epska snaga u prikazivanju sudara ("Zemlja tutnji, rijeke mutno teku, prašina polja pokriva, stijegovi zbore: Polovci idu od Dona, i s mora, i sa svih strana staroruske pukove opkoliše. Djeca đavolja vikom polja pregradiše, a hrabri Rusići pregradiše crvenim štitovima") kao i elementi govorničke proze otežavaju nam da određeno kažemo kojoj književnoj vrsti pripada ovo djelo. Najbliži ćemo ipak biti istini ako ga nazovemo ratnom pripoviješću (zbog teme) i epskom pjesmom (zbog obrade teme). I sam se autor koleba u terminu jer ga naziva "Slovom", tj. besjedom, pa "trudnom" (tužnom, ratnom) pripoviješću i napokon "pjesmom", što sve govori o sinkretičkoj naravi djela.

Bilo je pokušaja da se uzor za "Pjesmu o Igorovom pohodu" nađe u klasičnoj grčkoj epici, pa u južnoslavenskoj narodnoj poeziji ili čak u djelu koje je nastalo nekoliko stoljeća kasnije ("Zadonščina"). Znanstvena istraživanja, posvećena "Pjesmi o Igorovom pohodu" kako u Rusiji i Ukrajini, tako i u cijelom svijetu, pokazala su da je svako negiranje originalnosti ovoga zaista umjetničkog djela danas postalo neumjesno; to osobito potvrđuju, između ostalog, različite tekstološke studije, posebno prilozi turkologa u kojima se dokazuje semantička vrijednost pojedinih polovačkih riječi, moguća samo za vrijeme nastanka djela.

Tekst sa samo 218 stihova nije dugačak. Jedini sačuvan originalni rukopis izgorio je u vrijeme Napoleonovog napada na Moskvu 1812. godine. Na "Pjesmi o Igorovom pohodu" zasnovana je opera Aleksandra Borodina imena Knez Igor.

Iz pjesme je poznat citat:

Djelo je prevedeno na suvremeni ruski (više prijevoda) kao i na mnoge strane jezike. Uz prijevode na slovenski i makedonski jezik, kod nas je prevođenje ovog djela ograničeno na nekoliko manje ili više uspješnih pokušaja.
