ABOUT THE WITCH
Hey, I'm Kerry-ann
Clearly, I don't have green skin, fly around on a broomstick at night, my preferred form of flight is actually dreaming... All jokes aside, I'm a cosmic translator, spiritual reader, or you can think of me as your personal guide to navigating your life story.

Synonyms: Astrologer, Tarot Reader, Clairvoyant, Intuitive, Empath, dream walker...
I Believe...
I believe that everything, yes EVERYTHING, happens for a reason. Every experience you've ever had in your life has planted the seeds or stepping stones to help you become who you were born to be. This includes the people who come in and out of your life, your situations and discoveries.
You're here for a reason, there is no such thing as a mistake. This world we live in is older and wiser than everything and when you think about it… So many things had to happen for you to be created, to be born, to be incarnated, and that has meaning and purpose. It's your job to find it, to step into it because the world really does need what you have to offer no matter how big or small it's by no mistake that you're here.
Embrace who you are because there is not another like you. It's so important to not let the world chip away at you and tell you who you should be - you should be who you are.
It all began...
When I was little, I was less than ordinary. I spent most of my time conversing with ghosts, poltergeists and higher beings. My best friend was my black cat, I spent most of my days collecting spiders and talking with the bugs. I was a weird kid who had experienced things that I've come to realise most will never experience… like Murder.
Everything that happened in my life has happened and will continue to happen for a reason, and it's no different for you. Life is like a compass, and it is always directing you to what you want most but depending on how aware you are of the signs, signals and patterns you can find yourself missing the magic that is life.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I replied with "Angel". Now, this was really not what my realist parents wanted to hear, but hey, I was just a kid… My dad told me that when I die and go to heaven, I will be an Angel and that for now, I need to think seriously about what I wanted to do in the life I have.
I went away and sat for a long ole while thinking in quiet contemplation. What is the equivalent to an Angel, and in my head, I heard the word, Witch… Now, I didn't know what a witch was at this time, I was only around 6. In my head, witches had powers, they could heal people, know things, prevent bad stuff from happening and make anything happen. I went and told my dad I know exactly what I want to be, he asked me, and I told him, and his response was "there is no such thing as witches, and you cannot make a living being a witch".
Witches DO Exsist!
Within a matter of a few weeks Witches began to show up everywhere, It was like the universe was saying "YES THEY DO" - Sabrina, the teenage witch, aired on Nickelodeon, The craft came out a few months later and a couple of years after that Charmed aired.
So witches didn't exist the way I thought they did, but they belonged in the movies or on TV. Well, I know I want to be a witch that voice told me that's what I should be…
Fast forward to high school, I went to a teacher-parent opening evening, and my group was scheduled into drama class. It was the first time I had been singled out (for being good at something). Still, the drama teacher came up to my mom and me and asked if I had any formal training, he said I have natural talent and spent the next year trying to get me into a private drama school of which my parents didn't like the idea of…
COULD'VE BEEN HERMIONE GRANGER!
Harry Potter was then casting for Hermione Granger, and again my drama teacher told me that I should audition, I just had to get my parents to consent. Still, opportunities for me to play a witch. Naturally, my realist parents didn't approve.
The point in me sharing that story is to show you that the universe is always talking to you. You're always being guided through life. You might think it odd that because a voice told me, I should be a Witch that my life has led me to exactly that, but the signs were always there. The people that came in and kept coming in all throughout my life to give me roles connected to Witches and the occult. With all the no's to acting that I got from my parents and then after their divorce... it was just a few short years that Life even conspired to send me to a performance arts school where I got to take a class with Andrew Lloyd Webber.
WITCH ADOLESCENCE
Without getting too personal, dark or over-sharing, my adolescence was a particularly scary time and acting, dance and music became like a safe haven for me. You see, Acting was not what I wanted to do, it was where I went to escape my life. For those who don't know me, I have extrasensory "abilities", I'm sensitive to the energies around me, intuitive and empathic. The acting was natural; I could feel and become the character releasing myself from my life.
Having grown into myself and individuating from my parent's beliefs, I discovered witchcraft was very real, and there began my study into the occult. The Paranormal side of things had long always been a part of my life, even as a small child, spirits would always visit me. It was just a side to me that had to be secret because society deemed it abnormal.
I began reading bookings on witchcraft, I did my first spirit candle at age 12 and even messed around with glamors to change my eye colour from blue to grey. I couldn't believe the results…. I then rediscovered Ouija boards and divination. I got my hands on Gypsy fortune-telling Cards, everything I was predicting was coming true, and I've been reading people's cards ever since.
THE TURNING POINT...
The Turning point. After college, I again experienced something traumatic. As per my philosophy, everything happens for a reason, and it's that reason that created a stepping stone to me realising my purpose.
You know the saying that it's about the journey, not the destination... Well, it was the weeks leading up to me going to university after me taking a couple years off to work that changed my life direction. Up until meeting a lady named Pam, I had no idea that there was such a thing as a Medium, tarot reader, clairvoyant or psychic. As in it being a paying job, make it a career or vocation type of thing.
My dad's voice echoing in the back of my mind..."there no such thing as witches and you can't make money or a living being a witch". I'm sure there is a lesson somewhere in childhood conditioning. That belief kept me stuck, limited, and its beliefs you don't even realise you have, that have been passed down through our parents that keep us all stuck and act as roadblocks or misdirects.
So I met Pam, she led a circle in a spiritualist church that I got to attend before university. It was here that I was told I could be a professional Clairvoyant someday with a little practice, of course. This was the seed that was planted so firmly inside my brain.
I did go to university for all of three months. The screen acting and film classes I loved, but If I was honest, acting has always been an escape from being me. Instead of discovering my story, and who I am, I poured myself into other stories and characters. We are all victims of our childhoods and upbringings. Any who, I found myself reading cards for everyone and contemplating what Pam had told me. A series of events then unfolded, and all signs pointed home. I dropped out of University, packed up and moved back home.
Meeting Amber the Gypsy Fortune teller
I used to joke that I'll join a circus and be a Gypsy fortune teller after all my Grandpa came from the blood. My great Grandfather was supposed of Romany descent and travelled around a lot. Even though nobody in my family does what I do it's my grandpa's families on both sides that I know nothing about, I came in this way so the DNA or ancestry must be there somewhere...
A few months after I returned back from University, I made it my mission to learn as much about my self as possible. I began reading and researching Astrology, Numerology and everything that could to help me better understand my potential. Now that I knew there were real readers out there in the world, I wanted to meet some. I found Amber a Gypsy Fortune teller temporarily based in London.
It felt like divine intervention, I set the intention to find the best reader there was to help guide me, and the universe delivered me, Amber. Everything about her drew me in and even the way I found her was magical, and a few years later, she stopped doing readings, so my timing was perfect.
You know that feeling when you meet someone, and you would love to swap places to do what they do, well I had that. Amber was a Gypsy fortune teller, she specialised in Tarot, Palmistry and reiki, she also did clairvoyance all in one package. I have never met anyone like her since. I have had many readings from many readers over the years.
I feel like the entire experience set me on my path... You see, I found someone who is doing what I wanted to do, therefore breaking that belief that my father planted in my brain all those years ago. It was confirmed that there are successful, genuine readers who help people make sense out of life. Amber had become something I aspired to be. Maybe I'll share one day what she predicted for me.
MANIFESTING A SOULMATE
For the first time in a really long time, I was truly happy and loving life. I joined a spiritual Circle and participated at board nights (Ouija). I got to put my Astrological know-how to the test gathering real-life examples and research of punters in my bar jobs. I was healed from the previous traumas that took place to get me to the place I was now in my life... That I decided to manifest a soulmate.
I set my intentions, wrote my petitions and did a little Witchy-woo and boy ole boy did the universe provide.
I dreamt of the man for months... Each dream giving me insight into who he was; what he looked like, what he was like, what he did for a living and how we would meet. Just like in my dream of how we would meet, it played out exactly.
It's so true that people come into your life for a reason, and even though that relationship has now ended, I wouldn't change a single thing. I learnt so much about myself, about men, and it was this man that encouraged me to start my own business. Maybe I'll share this story in more detail at a later date.
Becoming A Professional Reader...
I then asked the universe "okay, so how do I become a professional?"
Again I could not make these stories up even if I tried... I was back from University and unpacking some old boxes that I had left from my previous place, having now moved back home. I found a flyer from the job that I left that led me to University in the first place. It was a Flyer for a Spiritual Reader who gave accredited Tarot courses.
I mean I had to laugh, I asked and the universe provided... Now, of course, you don't need a piece of paper to state you can do something, the work you do speaks for itself. The experience, however, was rewarding because it confirmed to me that I could already do it.
I'm not saying that in an egotistical way, my classmates would always ask me why I was there if I could already do it. I had no formal training in Tarot, I was a Gypsy fortune teller who used Gypsy cards and oracle cards. Alas, I passed my exams with flying colours, and I got the experience of reading cards for complete strangers. Up until that point, I had only read for people who knew me through my side jobs. In a sort of word of mouth kind of way, It was through friends of friends.
STARTING MY ONLINE BUSINESS
I again asked the universe the question, how do I start my own business...
The universe provided me with two options, I found a How to Start or Grow your Tarot business online and the renowned BSchool. It's funny to me because I made the mistake of rushing the purchase/investment. Mercury Rx, and at the time, I was still mapping transits and should have waited before committing.
Any who, Marie Forleo from B School kept showing up everywhere, so it was clear that the universe was saying "THIS ONE". Note to self, never go against your vibes even if logic is telling you to. The Start your Tarot business online was niche more specifically to an area that I was going into (tarot), and so I made the abysmal investment choice of opting for that one. It was, in my opinion, the worst experience, but it did teach me a couple of things.
HOW TO TREAT PEOPLE.
It taught me how I will never treat a client or student (If I ever one day have something to teach). The support and exchange felt more about the transaction of money than helping me work out where the problem might be. Considering this was a prominent person featured in so many magazines and online blogs, I was shocked by the exchange. The program system didn't work for me, and the whole reason for me opting into this option was that it was tailored to my specific field, was promised it was the right fit at the start only to fall short of said promises.
WHAT MAKES ME STANDOUT.
The second thing it taught me was to think about my stand out quality, what separates me from other readers and have that as the point of marketing. In case you have never had a reading with me, I incorporate Astrology into my readings along with clairvoyance. I also will never B*** Sh*t you. I tell you exactly what I see and am told - I'm not a fluffy reader, and I will always keep it real with you. I am not about stringing people along to get them to buy another and another, I want you to reach results not stay stuck.
SINCE TAKING A BUSINESS COURSE...
After I paid off the bad investment, I did go with B School and I must say, It's worth every penny. I'm still not yet a graduate, as I am working through the reading lists and tweaking and incorporating my findings.
It's been a good 6 years learning about business part-time, and I have come to realise I am not a savvy business person, but I will continue to learn and grow as I still do with my Astrological research and study. Might just be my Gemini Moon but I am always reading 3 books at a time, one astrological, one spiritual and one related to business.
Having a Spiritual Business is not like having a regular business... I mean yes you have to get paid that's what makes it a business, it's a form of energy exchange. What I do is not and will never be about selling there is only one of me, and I put a lot of time and energy into every reading I do...
In the past 10 years, I have studied with Western Astrologers, Vedic Astrologers and Chinese Astrologers, taking webinars, classes and of course, reading and doing my own research.
I love to learn, and I aim to share some of these insights on YouTube - I have just come out of my Saturn Return age 31, and it probably is time to show my face - It's been a long time.
MY LIFE PHILOSOPHY.
Trust your vibes & trust yourself
Follow the stars and signs. The universe is always guiding you to what you want most just remember to meet it halfway.
Do ALL things with Kindness
Stay True to yourself and speak your truth
Do more of what lights you up.
MY ASTROLOGY.
I fuse western Astrology with sidereal, using equal house system and an avid user of asteroids.
Astrology has explained so much about life, about why certain things happen to certain people. It's helped confirm to me what I am here to do and your birth chart is your birthright. Life always felt like chaos, and the stars and planets create a sort of order to things. It's patterns, cycles and energy frequencies - its life and life can be magical.
FINAL NOTES
So here I am, you're all caught up... I guide people through their life story. I help people make sense of their life situations, helping them to better understand themselves, their lives, purpose and potential... and I must say I have never felt more fulfilled doing this work.

The Little Witch
"we are all the creators of our own realities.
The life you have is YOURS and only you can live it.
There is no one like you so honour that and be the best you that you can be.
The greatest learning comes through your own experiences."
FINAL WORDS...
I never knew any spiritual people growing up. I was continually seeking to find someone who could explain why I am so different, and that resulted in me being on a path of searching. I was always seeking out different cultures, religions, spiritual practices and beliefs that couldn't be found within my own.
I love to learn, to grow and expand my mind to becoming the best possible person I can be. I didn't have the best first part of life, but I choose it, to incarnate here and now, had I of had different parents I wouldn't be who I am. Life is about taking responsibility for it for your life because it is YOURS.
The universe is always communicating with us, everything in life is patterns, cycles and when you notice and take stock of those patterns, you work with instead of against life it can be truly magical.
We all know and take in so much more than we think we do, tapping into that less dominant side of the brain is the key I feel to living a more fulfilling life. What I mean by that is looking at any given situation differently expands your perspective upon it.
There is so much of the world that is unseen, unknown, undiscovered, unbelievable and un-explainable.
I have come to realise is you're only ever capable of experiencing that in which you believe in. If you don't believe you shall not experience unless you're surrounded by a lot of others, who do believe.
Everything emits an energetic frequency, our brains give off signals that can only experience or receive a connection to those on the same wavelength - Like a radio .
I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe you stumbling upon here has some meaning, be it to teach me something or for me to help you with something.

When you are looking for a new home, one of the most important factors to consider is "location, location, location." And when the Montchanin Builders were looking to design a new planned community of townhomes in Delawarethat would re-boot traditional small-town America for the 21st century, they knew "location" was essential. Perfectly situated between Philadelphia and Wilmington, Darley Green homeowners enjoy a peaceful sanctuary of tree-lined streets and spacious luxury living, while also taking advantage of all that those nearby cities have to offer.
Darley Green is just a short 20-minute drive to historic, vibrant Philadelphia, one of the country's top destinations for the arts, music, dining, sports, and nightlife. But what about Wilmington, DE, only 5 minutes away? Even Philadelphians make repeated trips to Wilmington to enjoy a romantic getaway or sales tax-free shopping weekend. But no-tax shopping isn't the only reason to spend time in Delaware's largest city, whose recent revitalization has made it one of the northeast corridor's most thriving communities.
The stunning redevelopment of the Wilmington waterfront has been a civic project over ten years in the making. The riverfront area now features something for everyone, including lovely parks and plazas, top-class dining destinations, local breweries and wineries, a theater and contemporary arts center, and even its own minor league baseball team. Events such as the annual Riverfront Blues Festival draw huge crowds, while the Delaware Theater Company's famous production of 'A Christmas Carol' delights both kids and adults alike every December.
Wilmington's highlights don't end there—world-class gardens, historic colonial towns, and educational museums are all within minutes of each other, affording families days' worth of hassle-free fun.
With on-site walking and jogging trails, shops and businesses, and even a new state-of-the-art library, Darley Green is the neighborhood you'll never have to leave. But if you do want to get away, getting to Philadelphia or Wilmington couldn't be more convenient.

How to make investments after retirement
Keeping it simple: Swapan Deb, 62, has invested most of his retirement corpus in Senior Citizens' Savings Scheme and bank fixed deposits. Photo by Indranil Bhoumik/Mint
7 min read . Updated: 22 Jan 2016, 03:48 AM IST Rashmi Aich
Understand a product before investing in it. Make sure your capital doesn't erode, and grows to beat inflation
A lot of the personal finance advice you read is about getting your retirement funds in place, but there is little on how to deploy these once you hit retirement. You may be completely dependant on your retirement funds or you may have some current income from work, but how to use your retirement funds remains largely unanswered.
Your biggest challenge is keeping your money ahead of inflation. "Among the biggest risks retirees take, many times unknowingly, is not investing in instruments that beat inflation, on a post-tax basis. As a result, their income becomes insufficient after a few years as cost of living inches up," said Srikanth Bhagavat, managing director and principal advisor, Hexagon Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd, a Bengaluru- based investment advisory company.
Here's a look at the things to keep in mind when investing post retirement.
Regular income flow
As majority of individuals in this age bracket stop earning, it becomes a priority to ensure a source of regular income and have investments that are more liquid to meet any untoward emergency. Long-term investments, such as the Public Provident Fund (PPF), become unviable. Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS), meant only for the retired, is a government guaranteed scheme where one can deposit anywhere between 1,000 and 15 lakh and earn an interest of 9.3% per annum. It has a lock-in period of five years that can be further extended by three years. The investment is exempt from tax under section 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961, but the interest payment, paid quarterly, is taxable.
Swapan Deb, 62, is a retired senior executive from the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) office in Delhi and is now settled in Kolkata. Even though he gets a pension, he wanted to have regular income and also some money to meet little expenses. "I have invested majority of the lump sum I received on retirement into SCSS and fixed deposits (FDs). I have spaced out my investments in such a way that I receive my interest payment every month," he said. When asked why he didn't invest in other higher interest earning segments such as mutual funds, Deb said that his FDs are with the bank where his wife works and due to the ease of transactions there, he prefers keeping the money there. Also his health cover is provided by his organisation, so the earnings are sufficient for him.
A lot of seniors are apprehensive of taking risk with their retirement corpus and lose out on capital due to inflation.
"Clients have spent most of their life earning it (money) and thus must take precautions to preserve its value post inflation. Therefore, investments should be made be across assets which enhances wealth and also makes returns more predictable. Further, besides having allocation towards safe debt products which caters to cash flow requirements, one of the mistakes made is avoiding equity-oriented investments," said Ashish Shanker, head, investment advisory at Motilal Oswal Private Wealth Management Ltd.
Experts that Mint spoke to are of the opinion that although regular income is a priority for retirees, they have to choose wisely and ensure that the portfolio has a mix of debt and equity, and that they keep the risk level low.
And when investing in mutual funds, one may focus more on funds investing in large-cap companies instead of small- or micro-cap companies, as these come with high risks even though they give higher returns.
According to Bhagavat, an ideal retirement fund should consist of 70% debt and 30% equity. "Retirees think they are taking risk by investing in equity, but I think the bigger risk is not investing in equity. However, one should limit their exposure to 20-30% in equity, ideally through mutual funds to own an inflation beating portfolio," he added.
Annuity schemes, where one invests a lump sum and gets a stream of income at regular intervals until death or the end of tenure, are also popular. The corpus at the end of the accumulation phase will be paid out in two parts—one-third as lump sum, with the remaining being converted into annuities. However, as the interest paid is locked for life, it fails to beat inflation with time.
"Annuity investments are a good option for a part of the portfolio to cover longevity risk. But considering that the returns are taxable, does not adjust for inflation and principal normally not easily accessible, there is a need for annuities to be only a small portion of the portfolio. Cash flow needs can be covered through a combination of rent, dividend, interest income and systematic withdrawal plans (SWP)," said Vishal Dhawan, founder, Plan Ahead Wealth Advisors.
One can also put a portion of their portfolio into bonds and plan an SWP. The SWP is a withdrawal strategy wherein a fixed amount can be withdrawn from the portfolio every month; the remaining stays invested. The usage of the portfolio becomes more efficient and there is lower tax impact due to the SWP effect. The withdrawal must be planned in such a way that it increases every year with inflation and it does not deplete the corpus too quickly. "The withdrawal amount should be calculated in a way that the life of the corpus is more than the life expectancy of the investor and the spouse," said Bhagavat.
You can also choose from post office monthly income schemes (Pomis) and such schemes offered by mutual funds (i.e., MIS). "Here, a lump sum is invested in various instruments to provide the monthly income. Pomis comes with an interest rate of 8.4% per annum, payable monthly and the maturity period would be five years," saidAnil Rego, founder and chief executive officer, Right Horizons, a financial advisory. However, do keep in mind that these schemes do not enjoy tax breaks, and the interest income is taxable at the marginal rate.
Post retirement, medical expenses gradually become a part of your monthly expenses. Other expenses such as vacation, motor insurance and home equipment depreciation and replacements, also tend to come up so it's important to keep money in hand. Thus, investments with long lock-in period should be avoided.
"One of the biggest mistakes that clients commit is that in order to keep their accumulated money safe, they tend to go for long-term schemes, without considering inflation. These are not tax efficient and also affect liquidity," said Hemant Rustagi, chief executive officer, Wiseinvest Advisors. He said at this age, it is important to invest in a manner that you have money available at all times and the investments don't compromise on your capital and inflation.
Sardari Lal Doda, 70, a retired banker from Delhi who is now settled in Chandigarh, has been investing in PPF for the past 40 years. "I am finally closing my PPF account this year, as at this age I want more liquid cash," he said. He plans to put a chunk of the matured amount in bank tax-saving FDs and invest some in debt. He has a very small portion of investments in equity.
Asset-based investments
Post-retirement investment decisions are directly linked to your financial goals and need to be regularly assessed to see if they are in line with each other.
"How much one invests in a particular instrument is completely based on how much corpus she has accumulated for retirement. One can broadly invest 15-20% in equity investments but don't take risks without understanding the product," said Achin Goel, head, wealth management and financial planning, Bonanza Portfolio Ltd.
Also, don't forget to keep a contingency fund for medical emergencies and check-ups.
Siddhartha Pradhan, 63, is a retired medical officer with the central government health scheme and is currently working as a medical consultant with the RBI in Kolkata. He has been tracking mutual funds and the stock market since his early 30s and continuously invests in mutual funds, direct equities and equity-linked savings schemes. "I am not a man of finance but I have always gathered information on understanding it. Retired people often don't think about inflation-adjusted returns. We are sceptical of falling markets and interest rates, but it's a cycle and it (rate increase and decrease) changes every 5-7 years," he said. He has 15 systematic investment plans of 2,000 each and invests in direct equities as well. And for his retirement corpus, he has invested 15 lakh each in SCSS in both his own and his wife's names.
Sudipto Roy, managing director, Principal Retirement Advisors Pvt. Ltd, said the company, which imparts training on retirement planning and doesn't suggest a product as such, found out that people consider equity-related investments as a "negative" thing and often prefer simpler investments.
"It is important to create awareness among the elderly about diversifying their money. Medical inflation is higher than food or other price-based inflations and they (senior citizens) tend to forget it completely. So, it is important to follow the keep-it-simple rule while dealing with the retirees," said Roy.
Mint Money take
Most retirees stop earning post-superannuation. They want to pursue a hobby or travel every year. Thus, regular income is important but when you are investing your life's earnings, don't opt for an investment instrument without understanding it. Make sure your capital doesn't erode and grows to beat inflation. When investing, see if the returns are taxable and how easily you can access the money when needed.
Retired life is supposed to be the golden period of our lives, and if we manage our money with some rules, we will be able to enjoy it as well.

A new Ministerial Advisory Committee will work with community and Traditional Owners to protect waterways in Melbourne's west.
The Rivers of the West project focuses on reforming policy and governance of the major waterways in Melbourne's west – the Maribyrnong and Werribee rivers – with a view to protecting and restoring biodiversity in these river corridors in the long term. These rivers are key environmental and amenity assets for communities in the metropolitan and hinterland areas, but are also degraded as a consequence of historic and current human impacts and pressures.
recommends ways to maintain and enhance community ownership of the river corridors.
The action plan will build on Victoria's current water policy Water for Victoria, that recognises the connection that communities and Traditional Owners have to waterways and their landscapes.
Community catchment-based workshops, similar to those held in the lead up to the Yarra Act, are taking place over November and December and the project's reference group have been on site tours around Jacksons Creek, Deep Creek and the Lower Maribyrnong.
For more information visit the Melbourne Water and CRCWSC websites, or email westernrivers.inbox@delwp.vic.gov.au.

Q: extjs 3.4 getModifiedRecords after markDirty not working I am using extjs 3.4 and I want to make records to appear when I use getModifiedRecords.
dtl.store.getAt(i).markDirty();
This is what I did and when I console.log() it I can see
dirty:true and also
modified:{idStyle: "TEST-4", idStyleDtl: 2052, color: 6, colorNm: "BLACK", s1: 0, …}
It clearly shows it has been modified and there's dirty flag but when I do ojbStore.getModifiedRecords() it returns just empty [ ]. I don't understand why it won't return the modified records.. Is there any other condition I need to change?
Thanks

A: So lets start with solution(click X button and look into the console): FIDDLE
Now what happens here is that i manually call my own added function in store called markDirtyFix and pass it a record(which i want to mark as dirty) to put it in modified-records list. Actually it is a copied function afterEdit from store. I just commented fireEvent of update(because this forces request to be sent on update, and you want to make it dirty "only locally"):
afterEdit: function(record){
    if(this.modified.indexOf(record) == -1){
        this.modified.push(record);
    }
    this.fireEvent('update', this, record, Ext.data.Record.EDIT);//removed
},

So the miracle happens and store.getModifiedRecords() returns your record in array included.
Now talk about problem. So the problem is that markDirty() looks like this(from official docs):
markDirty: function(){
    this.dirty = true;
    if(!this.modified){
        this.modified = {};
    }
    this.fields.each(function(f) {
        this.modified[f.name] = this.data[f.name];
    },this);
}

and here is not anything that would call afterEdit or something like this to make your records dirty on a store level(well as you see it becomes dirty only on a record level).
Maybe someone say it is meant to be used only on a record level but markDirty doc description says:

Marking a record dirty causes the phantom to be returned by Ext.data.Store.getModifiedRecords ..

So it should have worked(but didn't).

Lucianotes: Aidan Goes Epic for a Good Cause (Episode 1)
By Luciano Pollastri
I have been writing a lot about the Zwift Community, the incredible people I have been given the chance to meet virtually or IRL. Our craziness makes us the collective producing the most quantity of lactic acid in the world. That makes me super proud.
What has been more surprising over time is to discover that many of us share a set of common values, a sense of purpose, bringing together the notion of effort and the willingness to do the right thing for ourselves and also for others. That makes me even prouder.
Two weeks ago the following was posted on the Coalition Discord Server:
I was overwhelmed by Aidan's over-the-top craziness of course (1400km in 10 days!!!!), but also by the feeling that we, Zwifters, are definitely part of something bigger than what happens in Makuri or the Über Pretzel. It was the perfect example of the universality of Zwift, what makes our community so unique.
I thought, "What a great thing would it be if we could follow Aidan through his adventure?" And I left it there. Only until Roger (another COALITION teammate) told Aidan to tell me to tell Eric to tell me to tell Aidan to tell Roger… I am lost now. The thing is Roger thought it would be a great story for ZI.
After throwing the idea to Eric (he obviously hated it, which is why you are reading it now, ha!), here we are. We are going to regularly report about Aidan's adventure and since I am utterly evil the only thing I really care about is how I am going to make fun of his misadventures.
Aidan and the Virtual Flat Tyre
Aidan landed in Watopia, like most of us, by coincidence.
"I used to be a competitive age group cyclist during my school and early university days. Because of the low prospects of making a profession out of the sport coming from South Africa, I decided to give up on the dream and focus on university and a career. 15 years later, with 1 year back on the bike mainly spent Zwifting, I have moved from the infamous route badge hunts in the solo days, to racing, and eventually joining The Coalition which has provided a community of like-minded and supportive people."
Aidan became addicted, like most of us. It's like we all have a hidden Zwift gene in our DNA, waiting to be activated the first day you hit Titans Grove. He has also experienced some of those ridiculous experiences only Zwifters can relate to.
"I had this idea that things were easy now, safe, no punctures, and plain sailing. But on one particular ride, I found myself both injured and with what I call a Virtual Flat Tyre, otherwise known as 'Load Shedding'. Here in South Africa, 'Load Shedding' is when the national electricity supplier cannot generate enough electricity for the country and they, seemingly randomly (although they do have schedules), turn off your power for anything between 2, 6 or even sometimes 12 hours per day. No power = Virtual Flat. Basically your Zwift is still running on your laptop but your power source is off. Your legs spinning at one hell of a cadence but your avatar isn't going anywhere."
Extreme Ride 4 Hunger
"The first time I heard about Extreme Ride 4 Hunger was from Wesley, a friend who was planning to participate in the charity event in March 2022. At the time, he tried to convince me to join in, but the distances were rather daunting. I did not feel ready to take on this challenge having just started riding on and off and of course the sacrifices that go with such a challenge.
After Wesley did the tour earlier this year, I offered him a place to stay for a few days. During this time Wesley told me more about each day, and that after completing these great distances, the stage would end with an outreach to a community in need. This is where the cyclists hand out much-needed food and supplies.
If you know a little about South Africa's past, then it should come as no surprise that even to this day there are many underprivileged and uneducated people, where every day is a struggle for survival and basic needs like food and water.
I have contributed through charities like many of us, but actually being on the ground, experiencing what Wesley and others had experienced in the 2022 edition was something that I have always wanted to be part of.
Zwift played a major role in the decision-making process, as it provided me with a safe and convenient place to train, the confidence that I could accomplish this distance and contribute to this amazing project, and a community to count on when in doubt during the preparation.
This time, encouraged by Wesley and Amarel, my wife, I felt the purpose and the mission was way bigger than the daunting distances. I was in for 2023."
Not Alone In the Big Challenge
Following the euphoria and excitement of entering the adventure of a lifetime, by the time you understand that it is too late to revert your promise, that initial feeling of plenitude is replaced by an ocean of doubts. That's exactly what happened to Aidan.
"What went through my mind at first was yes this sounds like a great idea, I have made a great decision. Some moments later 'What did I just get myself into?!?!?!?' and self-doubt creeps in. This is the moment you lean on your support structures to help rationalise your decision. Some of the responses can be hilarious and others really do help you come to peace with your decision.
You have got plenty of time to train.
Remember that your butt will hurt for a good cause
Do you even still know how to change a puncture?
The answer is no, he doesn't know how to change a puncture (does he?). Aidan also did not know how to raise funds or have some exposure.
"The fact of the matter is I've never taken on a challenge quite like this before, taking on a charity drive, taking on the responsibility of more than finding money in sponsorship but going that step further and taking it up myself to raise additional funds has given a great feeling of responsibility towards community and helping others. Quickly you become humbled by others that have done similar in the past. Deep respect. Much time and dedication goes into it. Since this journey began I noticed lots of fundraising from zwifters streaming, for all sorts of causes and charities."
In the next chapter of Aidan's saga, you will laugh at his struggle learning how to stream his Zwift rides.
In the meantime, you can show him he is not by himself in his extreme saddle sore adventure by following him on Strava or Twitch TV, or contributing to his fundraising here. You can also spread the word by sharing his story on social networks. For the most motivated, on top of that you can ride with him in Watopia and overwhelm Aidan with Ride-Ons by adding him as a friend in Zwift Companion.
Luciano Pollastri
Luciano is a French-Argentinian living in Madrid, Spain. He landed by mistake on Zwift in March 2020, and, according to his wife, is staying there because of some strange variant of Stockholm Syndrome yet to be diagnosed. Passionate about all the little things making us feel alive and together when being part of a team.

Q: Memory leak? assigned a deleted pointer with a new operator
Possible Duplicate:
C++ delete - It deletes my objects but I can still access the data?

I would like to check if the following simple code has memory leak. In the function, it deletes a pointer and assigns a new object to this pointer. Is this legal? Under g++ compiler, even I deletes the test pointer, I can still access its member, which looks weird for me.
class cTest{
public:
  cTest(double _m){
    m=_m;
}
  ~cTest(){}

  double m;
};

void function (cTest * test){
  delete test;
  std::cout<<test->m<<std::endl;
  test= new cTest(1.2);
}
int main(){
  cTest *t = new cTest(0.1);
  std::cout<<t->m<<std::endl;
  function (t);
  std::cout<<t->m<<std::endl;
  delete t;
  return 0;
}

it prints out
0.1
0.1
1.2

A: Yep it leaks. function doesn't actually modify the value of t in main (because it's parameter is passed by value).
You can often reference deleted memory, but it is a bug (and not reliable).

A: Whenever you access a pointer after its lifetime has ended (eg. stack allocated object or after a delete) you stumble into undefined behavior, which is even worse than just an error because it may work and suddenly crash just when it decides to.
The pointer is not valid anymore, data is still there because every unnecessary operation is not done in C++, that's why in your situation it works.

A: At the first, there are two mistakes in your code.
pointer is not value.
void function (cTest * test){
  delete test;
  std::cout<<test->m<<std::endl;
  test= new cTest(1.2);
}

test is not overwrited. probably, you expect to re-write pointer value, but it can't.
If you want to do it, use pointer of pointer CTest** test to define argument. Or use return value to give a new pointer value.
#include <iostream>

class cTest{
public:
  cTest(double _m){
    m=_m;
}
  ~cTest(){}

  double m;
};

void function (cTest** test){
  delete *test;
  std::cout<<(*test)->m<<std::endl;
  *test= new cTest(1.2);
}
int main(){
  cTest *t = new cTest(0.1);
  std::cout<<t->m<<std::endl;
  function (&t);
  std::cout<<t->m<<std::endl;
  delete t;
  return 0;
}

But this code's not good sense, I think.

A: Yes, there is a leak and double delete of the firstly allocated object. 't' in main continues to point to the first object, as the pointer is not passed to function by reference or double pointer.


-The upper boundary of the channel is a 10-period simple moving average of the price high.
-The lower boundary of the channel is an 8-period simple moving average of the price low.
When price action for two consecutive bars trades completely outside of the channel a position may be taken on the next trading hour in an H1 chart.
The moving average channel is a solid trading method.
Combined with additional technical indicators like candlesticks, Elliott wave, Fibonacci and the relative strength index etc, the moving average channel becomes a powerful system you'll like to use often.
Anyone using this to trade for living?
Anyone put this together for you yet? .. seems an easy programming task .. let me know.
Looks interesting. What about the exit rules?
It is effective in stock markets and good in good trends. So it should work very well in Fx markets.
Please test this quick version of Simple Moving Average Channel!
I am testing above EA and would like to test it using .10 lot size, could you or someone instruct me on how to do this.
for example: first trade is buy when there is next sell signal will system sell even in loss or will wait till comes in profit.
from your back test statement i noticed that there is no loss trade . is it coincidence or system is like this that it wil not close trade in loss.
For this EA, does anyone have suggestions for which pair/timeframe combos to use or forward test?
Also, in the article from Stockcharts on how to trade, they suggest pro-trend trades, whereas my understanding of the EA and the SMAC_Ind set is that when you would look for a buy normally you take a sell. Am I correct?
Has anyone traded this manually? If so, have you been profitable? If so, what time frames/pairs and rules do you use?
I have been running live-demo on this EA for 1 day.
i am new to metatrader language. I will have to put in some effort to learn it. However I code in Amibroker.


Authorities identified the victims as 29-year-old Kim Levengrond Yehezkel and 35-year-old Ziv Hajbi.

The UNRWA statement, released yesterday, reveals that the fatal shooting by Israeli snipers of a Palestinian child on 28 September brought to 13 the total number of UNRWA students who have been killed since 30 March 2018 in the context of the "Great March of Return" protests.
The Israeli air force attacked militants in the Gaza strip, which was launched flaming balls at Israel.
"The terror organization Hamas called the murders "a heroic operation" and a 'natural response to the Israeli occupation's crimes.' The terror organization Islamic Jihad also justified the attack as 'natural, ' and added that 'the settlements are a legitimate target for people of the resistance, '" the report said.
A wave of Palestinian attacks against Israelis broke out in 2015, but they have since become sporadic. He described the incident as "terrorist attack".
Last month, a Palestinian teenager stabbed an Israeli to death at a junction at the entrance to a large bloc of Israeli settlements in the West Bank near Jerusalem.
More than 260 Palestinians have also been killed over the same period.

Cox Media Group's sell-side platform Videa is sinking more hooks into buy- and sell-side systems.
Released earlier this year, Videa has since drummed up strategic partnerships with Gannett, Raycom and Media General on the local broadcaster side. That's in addition to agency alliances with Carat and Amplifi and demand-side deals with Mediaocean and Videology.
Now in active negotiations with three or four other demand-side platforms, Videa's line of attack involves plugging more gaps in demand and availing more broadcast inventory to be bought and sold programmatically, according to Brad Smith, Videa's SVP of revenue and operations.
"We see a willingness for buyers and sellers to come to the table with business rules that make sense for them, but a need for standards that will be accepted longer term across the ecosystem," said Smith.
While a single programmatic TV standard is not yet codified, there are early efforts underway from multiple constituents.
AdExchanger: What's one of the challenges of automating local TV inventory?
BRAD SMITH: It's been difficult to execute a widespread local buy for some time. What the local broadcasters understand is they're sitting on this incredibly rich and deep inventory set, but the inventory they're selling is relatively undervalued because they're not able to access a whole lot of new sources of demand. What Videa does is expand their ability to sell into these new pools of digital DSPs and agency platforms.
Are you partnering with broadcasters in addition to DSPs? And what's a typical use case?
We have partnerships with five broadcasters that we're working with every day, and they're seeing a lot of dollars come into their marketplace that they haven't seen in the past. For an agency buying into the marketplace, putting advertising dollars behind a TV station on a local basis [is a newer phenomenon].
Maybe they've touched [a viewer with] national cable where there's a high waste factor based on what their footprint is, or maybe they've touched them online with some video segments where they want to achieve more scale. We're able to give them this middle avenue where they can go out and get a high reach factor for the customized audience they want, but limit the frequency cap so they are not hitting the same consumer 10 times. Instead, they can balance the reach and frequency of who they covet within that market.
When you strike a deal with a DSP, how does it differ from an agency-buying platform? Does one have closer proximity to the buyer?
There are definitely distinct differences and advantages that we work hard to customize based on. When we talk about our API, which triggers into the trading desks and buying platforms like Videology, there are fundamental rules for buyers and sellers that are different than when we build into a workflow or trafficking platform like Mediaocean or through an agency's platform. You have to be cognizant of this because it goes back to advertiser-based goals. … How do you customize a product, but ensure it still fits in the bigger ecosystem?
How will programmatic play a role in Cox's TV automation efforts?
We believe that a forward-reserve model for traditional TV is critical. As much as folks talk about real-time bidding, we're not a real-time-bidded shop. In a forward-reserve marketplace, giving people the ability to buy programmatic guaranteed inventory allows them to know what's running … and what their success rate will be in reaching their audience. All these things are table stakes.
What data provisions can you make?
Advertisers [want to know which] viewers you serve, how sticky is content is and how they can match data up to meet their own goals. The first thing you have to tackle is complexity and how do you build simplified swim lanes that allow people to reach traditional audiences or incremental audiences [using data] to move the needle. Advertisers want to know traditional metrics, like reach and frequency, or newer, undefined [metrics using] data sets that match their needs.
Do you have a data-management platform?
We're really in the early innings of our data-management platform, but we recognize that the piping and the transactional workflow is table stakes. The value will be about adding data and tools to effectively manage the inventory well. We believe that in order to get full value of your inventory set, you can't portion it off and sell it as a remnant play. We have partnerships with Nielsen and Rentrak and are consistently working with other third parties to pull in their data sets. We have a dedicated data science team that focuses on just that. We have agency partners who are working through both their trade desks and traditional agencies, which have first-party data they want to apply from the advertiser side.

SETTLE Primary School has been named as one of the winners in the NFU's ambitious 'Farmvention' competition which has earned KS1 pupils a visit to the House of Commons.
The entry by the pupils was one of nine winners in the national competition for primary schools which focused on developing science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills.
Launched in September, it challenged children to solve one of three farming-related issues by designing a tractor of the future, an environment for a flock of 1,000 hens or a new snack product from four British ingredients.
The Key Stage 1 pupils focused on the tractor of the future and used their engineering skills to design a 'Plug n Plough' concept tractor with interchangeable components.
Teacher Sarah Entwhistlel said: "We were so excited to hear that our school had won the Key Stage 1, Tractor of the Future competition.
"Year 1 worked incredibly hard on their Plug 'n' Plough entry. From the planning and design, through the creative challenge and on to the testing process where they were delighted to watch their ideas come to life attached to one of our school robots.
NFU regional director, Adam Bedford added: "I am really delighted to see one of our local primary schools beat off stiff competition from more than 1,000 entries to be named as a national winner.
"It's great to see farming at the heart of creative learning opportunities in schools – boosting interest in STEM subjects and at the same time increasing young children's understanding of food production and rural life.
As a category winner, the school will receive a fully funded farm visit, £600 worth of robotic products and a visit by the Small Robot Company to help the children work on their design.
In addition, the pupils will also get the chance to showcase their work at an exhibition at the House of Commons during British Science Week in March, when the overall competition champion will be decided.

This is epitomised in the brand's Flamingo Table and Annette Chair, a gaming table set that recalls the bourgeois charm of Las Vegas, but with a domestic spin. Inspired by professional poker tables, Flamingo flaunts a leather upholstered base which comes in five colours ranging from light grey to teal, foregrounding a spacious smoked glass top with ergonomic ashwood edges, each with a drawer tucked beneath. A tribute to poker star Annette Obrestad, the accompanying Annette Chair's soft, plush form and precisely fashioned curvature embrace the body for an ultra-comfortable experience.…

Boucheron has captured a drop of sunlight in its latest addition to the beloved Serpent Bohème collection, the Solarité. Embodying the iconic Serpent Bohème's DNA, emblematic diamond droplets feature across the new line as beaded rays of gold outstretched – all while demonstrating sophisticated restraint. Still, the huge hoops, asymmetric earrings and showstopper of a necklace emanate a radiant glow in white and yellow gold. Paired with diamonds, the Serpent Boheme Solarite multi-motif necklace draws its design inspiration from the brightest star. Its 360-degree design sits gently on the neck like a delicate halo, each motif coming in varying sizes to reflect different intensities of light.…
PERFUMER AURÉELIEN GUICHARD divides his time between a Parisian apartment overlooking Jardin du Luxembourg, where he spends much of the year, and Grasse, in the South of France, where he was born. The latter is regarded as the epicentre of the fragrance universe and is where he now has a farm growing organic roses – along with an atelier he shares with his artist mother. Perfume runs in the family. His father, Jean Guichard, created several famous fragrances, and Aurélien studied at the heralded Givaudan Perfumery School in Paris, subsequently working with brands such as Davidoff, Gucci, John Galliano and Valentino before starting his own line, Matiere Premiere (raw materials), which focuses on the use of a prominent ingredient.

Paul Nipkow (Paul Julius Gottlieb Nipkow) (Lauenburg, Pomeránia, 1860. augusztus 22. – Berlin, 1940. augusztus 24.) német mérnök és feltaláló.

Életpályája

Felsőfokú tanulmányait – telefonálás és hírközlés, továbbá képalkotás – Neustadtban végezte. A diploma megszerzését követően Berlinbe ment tudományának fejlesztésére. Hermann von Helmholtzcal élettani optikát tanult, Adolf Slabyvel elektrofizikát. 1883 karácsonyán a lakásában kialakított laboratóriumban a kigondolt ötletét kipróbálva egy spirálisan-átlyukasztott lemezen (tárcsán) át egy képet, pontok és sorozatok mozaikjába rendezett, ezeket a jeleket fotocella segítségével megjelenítette. Ez a mechanikus képfelbontás és képösszerakás legrégibb és legjellegzetesebb szerkezete. A továbbításhoz a képet elektromos jelek sorozatává alakítja át. Ezt a technikai megoldást később Nipkow-tárcsának nevezték el. Mechanikus képmegjelenítőjét 1884-ben jelentette be a Császári Szabadalmi Hivatalnál. A kísérleti televíziózásban ezt a technikai megoldást 1938-ig alkalmazták. Ezt a készüléket tekintjük a televízió ősének.

Sikerei, díjai
A német birodalmi vezetés 1935-ben Nipkowról nevezte el az első nyilvános televízió-állomást. A Birodalmi Távközlési Kamara (Reichsrundfunkkammer) televíziótanácsának tiszteletbeli elnöke. Munkásságának tiszteletére állami temetésben részesült.

Why Bowie Matters
Will Brooker
Why Bowie Matters quantity
ISBN: 3d85afdb2223 Categories: Biography, Music
A unique, moving and dazzlingly researched exploration of the places, people, musicians, writers and filmmakers that inspired David Jones to become David Bowie, what we can learn from his life's work and journey, and why he will always matter. When David Bowie died on 10th January 2016, it seemed the whole world was united in mourning. His greatest hits were sung tearfully in pubs up and down Britain, garlands of flowers were left at the Aladdin Sane mural in his old stomping ground of Brixton and tributes poured in from a galaxy of stars.
To many of us, Bowie was so much more than a pop idol. But why? In Why Bowie Matters, Professor Will Brooker answers that question persuasively, as both a fan and an academic. A Bowie obsessive since childhood, he hit the headlines over the course of a year-long immersive research project that took him from London to Berlin and New York, following in Bowie's footsteps, only listening to music and reading books he loved, and even at times adopting his fashion.
In this original and illuminating book, Professor Brooker approaches Bowie from various angles, re-tracing his childhood on the streets of Bromley, taking us through his record collection and bookshelves, and deciphering the symbols and codes of his final work, Blackstar to piece together how an ordinary suburban teenager turned himself into a legend, and how perhaps we too could be a little more Bowie. He shows us that while David Robert Jones died on that terrible day in January, David Bowie will live on forever.

Apparently there are no issues with the rpool, that would prohibit us to do the split.
In this case the error message is misleading, as described in Bug ID 19308779: "Unable to split rpool: pool already exists"
Where in this case the message should be "Unable to split rpool: log device has unplayed intent logs"
For synchronous writes, ZFS uses the ZIL (ZFS Intent Log). This is a per-filesystem facility to which data is written immediately and later committed to the main pool as part of a DMU transaction group.

I recently toyed around with the idea of going to Holland to live for a 12 weeks and train Muay Thai. They practice more of a K-1 style there with more emphasis on leg kicks and punches and less on clinching and elbows. Best of all, Holland and Amsterdam sound like a really cool place to live for a few months. Surprisingly, training is much cheaper there than it is in Thailand.
There are tons of Muay Thai gyms in Holland to choose from. Meijiro gym where Andy Souwer comes from. Vos Gym with Ernesto Hoost and Antoni Hardonk. Chakuriki Pancration has Badr Hari. Then there's also Golden Glory where Alistar Overeem used to train at.
Best of all, each one of these gyms costs between 50 - 80 Euros a month for unlimited training, which is around 1,900-3,000thb. In Thailand expect to pay between 5,000-10,000 baht a month for unlimited training which is around triple the price. The downside however is the costs of living including food, transportation and accommodation will be much more expensive. One of the best things about Thailand is you can just show up and rent an apartment as easy as renting a hotel room. There are no contracts and sometimes not even a deposit is required. Food is cheap as well as getting around. One good thing about the Netherlands however is that everyone speaks English and Dutch girls are hot. There is a great electronic music and party scene in Holland and Amsterdam is supposedly a really fun city.
All of the Dutch people I've met while traveling in Thailand have been friendly and funny, and most of the girls have been pretty damn good looking. So it sound like a no brainer, and I should plan my next trip for 12 Weeks in Amsterdam instead of Thailand. I may still do it someday but the main reason why people still prefer to train in Thailand is because Muay Thai camps here are still more immersive.
The problem with all Muay Thai schools in America, England, Australia and even The Netherlands is that people there have real jobs and real lives to focus on. In Thailand, everyone's full time job is to train, which gives you a different type of motivation, drive, dedication but also it speeds up your learning as a beginner. Even in Holland you still just have one trainer leading a big class. You might hold pads for each other, but unless you're paying for an expensive private lesson, don't expect the trainer to ever hold pads for you. You also won't be sparring very often if at all, especially as a beginner. Take a look at a class filmed in Holland.
The instructor and techniques maybe awesome but it'll take years to get good at Muay Thai this way. In Thailand, they throw you to the wolves. You're sparring from day one and you're fighting within three months. You may not have the best technique, and you may develop some bad habits, but you fast forward your progress. I may still visit Holland one day and if I do, I'll definitely want to train but I still think that at my level of Muay Thai I'll benefit more from being in Thailand. Maybe if I ever get to a really high level and want to technique I'll go there. I think if you're training with the pro fighters and sparring a few days a week you'll do very well in Holland.
If you live in Europe and are part of the EU, I'd highly consider doing a training camp in Holland. It'll be a lot cheaper to travel there, you won't have any visa issues and it'll still be a fun adventure. The biggest problem would be accommodation as it would be impractical to sign a contract for an apartment, especially if it's unfurnished. If anyone knows of any Muay Thai gyms in Holland that provide accommodation let me know in the comment section..

Hey Andrea, Holland would be incredible for Muay Thai. I'm still in Thailand now but am planning a trip to Europe this summer. Let me know how you like Holland and where you end up training.
now how come then holland muay thai school cant make them selfs learn clinch and all the related techniques ?
don`t they have greco roman olympic wrestlers that can teach them the basics of clinch warfair ?
It's because there are no elbows or clinching in the K-1 rules sport.
thats the point them dutchies removed the most signifigant parts of thai fighting and made a puff version .
big bad puff style kick boxer-ing version of thai fight !!
The K1 ruleset was made by the Japanese and is nowadays the most used ruleset for fight in Holland, which is mainly the reason why the clinch and the elbows are neglected.
Don't be fooled though, there are several elite and some under the radar gyms that practice the clinch heavily and know their way around the inside game.


A delegation from Samborondon, Ecuador, visits Zhanjiang.
Covering an area of 2.1 square kilometers, it is the largest province with the largest population in Ecuador. It is bordered by the Pacific to the west and by the Gulf of Guayaquil in the south.
Samborondon has an area of 252 square kilometers in tetragonal shape. It is one of the main administrative areas in Guayas and a key strategic area, even in Ecuador, with a population of 95,000 and jurisdiction over 108 towns.
Samborondon enjoys a distinctive geographical position, with two rivers running in from the south, which provide rich natural resources for its fisheries development.
Fertile lowland soil has made Samborondon into one of the most important agricultural districts in Ecuador.
Agriculture and animal husbandry are the city's major industries.
It teems with rice, bananas, cocoa, coffee and tropical fruit. Samborondon, as the biggest producer in Guayas, supplies a significant portion of the country's rice harvest. Its animal husbandry is mainly dominated by beef cattle.
Fisheries and forestry are developed as well there, with an abundance of catfish and shrimps.
Samborondon also has other industries, such as chemical engineering, machinery, shipbuilding, food and rubber, with ceramics as one of its oldest industries.
The delicate handmade ceramic products, including pipes, pots, flowerpots, kitchen utensils and decoration, are popular selling items at home and abroad.
To further develop the city's construction of cities and towns, the government approved La Puntilla, an area within a 10.4-kilometer radius around Unity Bridge, as the central city in 1971.
Nowadays, La Puntilla has developed into one of Ecuador's most developed and most valuable cities. Samborondon's largest modern architectural complex in different styles, first-rate universities and educational institutions, large-scale shopping centers, restaurants and coffee shops can be found in this city.
Additionally, it enjoys convenient transportation, and the natural landscapes in Tarifa and Recintos are fascinating.
Due to the tropical rainy climate, Samborondon has only two seasons (dry and rainy), with an annual average temperature of 25.8 C.
The tourist industry is gradually developing into the city's important industry, thanks to its rich tourism resources, such as the famous scenic spots around La Puntilla.
