Q: C# Setting specific ident settings to XmlWriterSettings I am coding an C# easy tool to perform some attribute changes to a given XML file.
All the coding envolved to perform the changes are working as expected however when it comes to save the file I have the following issue,
source XML file has a specific ident such as:
<AAL2Bearer id="0" method="create">
<attributes>
<pathId>16</pathId>
<vccId>VCC/2</vccId></attributes></AAL2Bearer>
<AAL2Bearer id="1" method="create">
<attributes>
<pathId>8</pathId>
<vccId>VCC/3</vccId></attributes></AAL2Bearer>
<AAL2Bearer id="2" method="create">
<attributes>
<pathId>1</pathId>
<vccId>VCC/5</vccId></attributes></AAL2Bearer>

My XML File after saving it:
<AAL2Bearer id="0" method="create">
<attributes>
<pathId>16</pathId>
<vccId>VCC/2</vccId>
</attributes>
</AAL2Bearer>
<AAL2Bearer id="1" method="create">
<attributes>
<pathId>8</pathId>
<vccId>VCC/3</vccId>
</attributes>
</AAL2Bearer>
<AAL2Bearer id="2" method="create">
<attributes>
<pathId>1</pathId>
<vccId>VCC/5</vccId>
</attributes>
</AAL2Bearer>

I have tried:
var settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.Indent = true;
settings.IndentChars = "";

With this snippet I am able to have a XML file with no ident in the begining of each line, which is what I need however I also need to close the xml node in the same line, basically only add new line on new xml node but always "close" the XML node and its parents in the same line.
Thanks and regards

A: Sorry for the question and Alex K. was right!
File was being marked as invalid due to the BOM. :(
Simply solve by:
        var settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
        settings.Indent = true;
        settings.IndentChars = "";
        var outputEnc = new UTF8Encoding(false);
        settings.Encoding = outputEnc;
        using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(targetXWO.FileName, settings))
        {
             doc.Save(writer);
        }

Thanks

Bacterial pneumonia - Respiratory microbial infection of the lungs, which flows to the development intraalveolar exudation and inflammatory infiltration of the lung parenchyma. Bacterial pneumonia is accompanied by fever, malaise, headache, cough with mucopurulent or rusty sputum, shortness of breath, chest pain, myalgia and arthralgia, pulmonary insufficiency. The diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia is based on physical examination, X-ray light, general and biochemical blood tests, sputum microscopy and culture. The basis of the treatment of bacterial pneumonia is causal antibiotic therapy.
Pneumonia - an acute infectious inflammation of the lung tissue caused by a pathogenic microbial flora and characterized by frenetic development, intoxication syndrome and respiratory failure. Among other etiological forms of pneumonia (viral, parasitic, fungal, and so forth.), Bacterial pneumonia confidently hold the first place. Annually bacterial pneumonia sick about 1000 people per 100 thousand. Population. The most vulnerable population - children under 5 years of age and older people after 75 years. In pulmonology problem of bacterial pneumonia focuses on attention due to the steady increase in the incidence of morbidity and mortality levels.
alopecia (bronchopneumonia) and severally (lobar, lobar) bacterial pneumonia. In the form of focal inflammatory changes affect some parts of the lung tissue and adjacent bronchi; at equity - an entire lobe of the lung parenchyma. Most often affects the lower parts of the lungs.
There may be a one-sided and two-sided bacterial pneumonia, pleural lesions, while developing pleuropneumonia.
The classification of nosological forms of disease based on the types of infectious agents, according to which the distinction pneumococcal, staphylococcal, streptococcal, meningococcal pneumonia and pneumonia caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella and others.
According to clinical and pathogenetic criteria for bacterial pneumonia may have the character of outpatient (ambulatory) or nosocomial (hospital, nosocomial) infections with symptoms developing after 48-72 hours after the patient's room in the hospital. Bacterial pneumonia can be mild, moderate, severe and protracted course.
anthrax, gonorrhea, salmonellosis, tularemia, typhoid fever, whooping cough) causes pneumonia might be representatives of specific microorganisms. When immunodeficient states bacterial agents often act pneumococcus, Legionella and Haemophilus influenzae.
Pathogenic microorganisms can penetrate the lung tissue by direct, airborne and hematogenous route. Patients with neurological symptoms and disturbance of consciousness is often observed aspiration of secretions of the mouth and throat, contaminated with bacteria. Hematogenous dissemination of bacterial pneumonia pathogen occurs through the blood of extrapulmonary focus (in infective endocarditis, retropharyngeal abscess). The infection can enter the lungs when the chest wounds, intubation of the trachea from the surrounding tissues in the breakout postdiafragmalnogo abscess and so on. D.
The pathogenesis of bacterial pneumonia is not only determining the virulence of the pathogen and the mechanism of penetration but also the level of local and general immunity. By the development of bacterial pneumonia predispose SARS, smoking, alcohol consumption, frequent stress, fatigue, vitamin deficiencies, older age, air pollution. Reduced immune protection occurs when comorbidity: congestive heart failure, congenital bronchopulmonary system, COPD, chronic upper respiratory infections, immunodeficiency, severe and prolonged diseases occurring; due to surgery and prolonged immobilization.
Bacterial pneumonias tend to damage the airways with inflammatory infiltration of lung parenchyma; syndrome of irritation of the pleura, and pleural effusion. Perhaps the formation of foci of necrosis of lung tissue from the cavity formation is complicated by necrotizing pneumonia and lung abscess.
arthralgia, and loss of appetite. Often revealed sinus tachycardia, arrhythmia, hypotension. May develop signs of respiratory, cardiac and renal failure.
For staphylococcal pneumonia is characterized by a rapid start, jump in temperature to 40 ° C with recurrent fever, general grave condition associated with the destruction of the lungs, the emergence of foci of necrosis, cavities, abscess of the lung tissue. Fridlenderovskaya resembles pneumonia lobar pneumonia, has a protracted course and is accompanied by fever (39-40 ° C), persistent cough, the release of a viscous brown phlegm with an unpleasant odor, general intoxication, the rapid development of extensive necrosis of lung tissue, single abscesses, pleurisy, pulmonary infarction, septic complications. Heavily flowing pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is characterized by a high level of mortality. In pneumococcal pneumonia, necrosis and abscess formation is rare.
Atypical forms of bacterial pneumonia occur when infected lung anaerobic oral Legionella. Their feature is the gradual development of symptoms, the dominance of extrapulmonary manifestations. For example, Legionella pneumonia is accompanied by neurological symptoms, liver dysfunction, diarrhea. Older persons bacterial pneumonia characterized by a prolonged course with long-term low-grade fever, marked malaise, dyspnea, exacerbation of concomitant diseases, central nervous system dysfunction.
Complications of bacterial pneumonia can be purulent processes in the lungs (abscesses, gangrene of the lung), pleural empyema, purulent pleural effusion, respiratory distress syndrome, myocarditis, glomerulonephritis, meningitis, toxic shock, sepsis.
Radiography of the lungs in direct and lateral projections determines the presence, location and extent of inflammation sites and destruction of lung tissue, the presence of pleural effusion. Install a potential causative agent of bacterial pneumonia helps microscopy and culture sputum and bronchial tubes wash water.
If shortness of breath and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease studied FMR, with severe complications during bacterial pneumonia investigated arterial blood gas to assess the level of hypoxemia and hypercapnia, oxygen saturation of Hb. Additionally performed blood cultures for sterility analysis of pleural effusion, ELISA.
Spiral CT and MRI can be easily applied in the differential diagnosis. When diagnosing bacterial pneumonia want to exclude infiltrative tuberculosis, lung cancer, pulmonary infarction, eosinophilic infiltration, congestive heart failure, pulmonary atelectasis.
aspiration and nosocomial bacterial pneumonia are additionally used fluoroquinolones, carbapenems, combined with aminoglycosides, lincosamides and metronidazole.
In complicated cases, a detoxification and immunotherapy, correction of microcirculatory disorders and dysproteinemia, oxygen. Can be administered antipyretics, analgesics, glucocorticoids, cardiac medications. Patients with broncho-obstructive pathology shows aerosol with broncho and mucolytics. When abscess formation is conducted remedial bronchoscopy with antiseptic solutions, antibiotics, mucolytics. Recommended breathing exercises, massage, physiotherapy. Displaying therapist observation and pulmonologist, a spa treatment.
Forecast bacterial pneumonia caused by the weight of the process, the adequacy of antibiotic therapy. Mortality in bacterial pneumonia reaches 9% (with nosocomial form - 20% in elderly patients - 30%, in complicated cases - up to 50%).


In my project I have analyzed the reasons for high attrition rate of employees in call centers. Attrition refers to a method of achieving a reduction in personnel by not refilling positions which are vacated due to resignation, reassignment, transfer, retirement or means other than lay off. The fact that large number of employees turnover in the first six months of employment suggests that this is very critical time for helping people adjust to new roles . Managing employee's expectations should actually start before employment. A realistic job preview would ensure that the employees walk into their jobs knowing exactly what they are supposed to and what is expected from them. The orientation program conducted should not be a one day event, they should span for the first three months of employment. A good orientation program basically helps to prevent misunderstanding and it gradually introduces the employees into the organization. It provides just in time information and training rather than one day of information. And so as a result the training efforts would yield much better results. Business Process Outsourcing sector is one of the major drivers of the Indian economy. The employee turnover is as high as 25% to 35%; it is one of the biggest challenges which the call centre faces. In order to retain the employees the call centre should adapt innovative practices. In order to retain the employees the call centers are resorting to various strategies from giving luxury comfort to its employees like housing scheme , low rate loan , pick and drop facility , attractive catering . Spouses working in the same organization, signing anti poaching agreement to retain the people. The study provides an insight about the reasons for high attrition rate in call centers in Delhi India. The study not only discusses about the problems of the employees and at the same time we also discuss about the possible practice which would reduce the exit of the employees from the organization. It provides information about the business process outsourcing industry which is fast expanding and is considered as the key driver for growth of the Indian economy.

Four Conditions That Leaders Create For Innovation To Thrive
Ron Ashkenas Former Contributor
I write about simplifying organizations in a complex world.
This post was co-authored with Markus Spiegel
Much has been written about how difficult it is for a mature company to innovate – to be open to finding new business models, or to allow alternative goals and operational metrics. Even when this kind of flexibility is created however, it's still not clear what leaders should do to really foster innovation success.
To answer this question, we conducted an 18-month research effort to examine pairs of successful and unsuccessful innovation teams in six different companies, in both Europe and the U.S. What we discovered was that leaders have the ability to create four particular conditions that are favorable to innovation – irrespective of the type of project, or the nature of the team. When leaders actively made sure that these four conditions were present, innovation thrived. But when they either ignored or dropped even one of the four, the chances of success were significantly diminished.
Based on this research, here are the four conditions that managers need to create:
Energy From Beginning to End
It takes energy for a team to stay in the "innovation zone" where they are questioning assumptions, challenging old business models, and dealing with organizational pushback and frequent frustration. One of the key jobs of the manager is to fuel that energy, to keep the teams excited. In the case of our successful innovation teams, leaders did this in a number of ways—by conveying their own passion, by providing direct exposure to customers, by challenging the team with finite timelines and by giving the teams ongoing attention and support. These managers were careful not to overstep, however, and would make sure the team itself was excited by the opportunity and felt empowered to contribute. In one of the successful teams for example, members reported that "it felt like being at camp" and another one reported that the manager checked in multiple times per week. In comparison, a lower-performing team in the same organization saw their senior leader only once in the beginning and at formal reviews. In other less successful teams, managers would be part of a kick-off where they get everybody fired up, but then were never seen again. This left the teams questioning the real importance of their project and contributed to the evaporation of energy levels.
Creative Friction
It may seem obvious that innovation requires rich, dynamic, interaction between team members – but some managers make it easier for this to happen than others. One of the striking differences between successful and less successful teams in our study was the frequency and quality of interaction between team members, even when the teams were working from different locations. More frequent, higher-quality interactions allowed teams to develop serendipitous solutions to problems, explore and empathize with different perspectives, generate new ideas, and get unstuck quickly. As successful team members said, "there was open dialogue"; and "it's a process of building on each others ideas." Others said, "you walk to the office next door and discuss things with a whiteboard"; and "the idea came up in a lunch conversation." Members of lower performing innovation teams would talk mainly in their weekly meetings, then go off to work independently on their parts of the project.
Just Enough Structure
Another building block for effective innovation is to ensure that teams have just enough structure to effectively collaborate, but not so much that it makes them bureaucratic and rigid. This allows teams to have the flexibility to self-organize and react to new insights. Typically this means keeping the teams relatively small (three to six) and interdisciplinary, and allowing them to make autonomous decisions within agreed-upon parameters. For example one of the successful teams decided to form small interdisciplinary work groups to develop critical new deliverables. They were free to move quickly and reported that "people had an affinity to the problem…not to their function." In comparison, lower functioning teams reported struggles with unclear decision authority or direction, and needed to seek approvals in committee meetings that might only happen once a month.
Excellence at Experimentation
While innovation teams all seem to have different frameworks and tools for how to get their work done, the one capability that differentiated successful from less successful teams was the ability to think and act experimentally, and then change course based on what they learned. The better teams for example, focused on early experimentation and iteration to determine customer needs. This forced these teams to make their ideas tangible early on, with mock-ups and "funky" prototypes. They eventually iterated these to "high fidelity" prototypes and pilots. In contrast, the less successful teams more rigidly followed their company's specified innovation gates or steps, without the spirit of experimentation and early testing. For example, one team that suffered from an over-determined process said, "once a project is approved with the specifications and the business case, there is no way back." Another team spent 18 months developing a product, and felt very proud that they delivered the specified functionality on time and on budget – but then learned that the output was not something that the customer wanted anymore. The result was another year of rework. In the same organization, members of the highly successful team not only tested their assumptions with end users much earlier, they also treated the innovation process more flexibly. They would pick and choose the process's most relevant requirements, and sometimes work phases concurrently. One of them described it this way: "Besides some compulsory milestones the process is only seen as support and assistance."
Road Map for Leaders
The key takeaway from this research is that there are indeed conditions that determine the success or failure of innovation in mature organizations. Since managers – both at the team level and higher up – have the most influence over these conditions, it is up to them to make sure they are in place.

Quentin Rollet (né le ) est un musicien français cofondateur des labels Rectangle, reQords et BISOU Records.

Biographie

Quentin Rollet a été sensibilisé à la musique improvisée dès son enfance. Fils de Christian Rollet (membre fondateur de l'ARFI), il assiste à ses concerts et l'accompagne ensuite en tournée où il se familiarise rapidement avec des univers sonores libre et expérimentaux. Il entame sa pratique du saxophone à 11 ans dans une école de jazz, pour ensuite entrer au conservatoire. À la suite d'un apprentissage classique de son instrument, il se rapproche d'esthétiques plus contemporaines qui viennent attiser sa curiosité pour des formes musicales moins conventionnelles.

Après quelques expériences au sein de différentes formations, c'est en 1992 que Quentin Rollet rencontre Fabrice et Nicolas Laureau, membres de Prohibition. C'est par son intermédiaire que le groupe signera ses deux premiers albums au sein du label Distortion. Quentin Rollet est rapidement intégré au groupe en live, puis sur leurs albums, pour finir par devenir un membre permanent de la formation jusqu'à sa dissolution en 1999.

En parallèle et à la suite de cette expérience de la scène en Europe et aux Etats-Unis, Quentin Rollet participe à de nombreux projets pour des durées plus ou moins longues. On peut citer sa contribution au sein de l'Akosh S. Unit de 1999 à 2005 sur scène et sur différents albums, mais également de manière plus ponctuelle avec différents musiciens et formations tels que The Red Krayola, Melmac, Mendelson, Dragibus, Herman Dune, Phoebe Killdeer & The Short Straws, David Grubbs, Thierry Müller, Rubin Steiner, Jérôme Lorichon, Charlie O, Dan-Charles Dahan, eRikm, Zsolt Söres, Pal Toth, Jean-Noël Cognard, Jean-Pierre Barja, Jac Berrocal, Rivkah, Benoît de Villeneuve, Andrew Liles et bien d'autres. Présent sur scène sur une partie ou sur la totalité de certains albums, Quentin Rollet y propose une approche entièrement improvisée et libre de différents saxophones ou d'instruments divers. En 2011, il rencontre Colin Potter avec qui il se lance dans un album en duo. Ce projet va l'amener à se produire sur différentes scènes avec Nurse With Wound et à intervenir sur plusieurs albums depuis 2016.

Très tôt, Quentin Rollet va également jouer le rôle de producteur pour les projets qui lui tiennent à cœur. En 1995, il cofonde le label Rectangle avec Noël Akchoté. Le label se veut l'outil pour rendre possible les rencontres entre des artistes aux univers parfois éloignés. Plus de cinquante références ont ainsi été produites de manière indépendante durant les dix ans d'existence de Rectangle, avec un souci d'adapter le support au contenu et non l'inverse. Ainsi, le label a produit des vinyles de différents formats et des Cds.
Depuis 2015, Quentin Rollet codirige un nouveau label en compagnie d'Isabelle Magnon nommé Bisou Records. Dans le prolongement de Rectangle, Bisou s'attache avant tout à produire des rencontres artistiques et musicales parfois impromptues, sans s'attacher à une ligne éditoriale de genre.

In her final year of high school, Lena Wise learns that one split-second decision can alter the future. Four lives are lost after Lena reluctantly lets an inebriated friend drive home from a party. Racked with guilt and struggling to admit the truth of what happened, Lena pushes her friends away, including Sebastian, her best friend and longtime crush, who has just started to become something more. With a powerful message about the destructive effects of drunk driving and the far-reaching consequences of small decisions, Armentrout (The Problem with Forever) presents an effective story of raw grief and gradual acceptance. Lena's guilt is almost tangible ("Talking openly about the accident, about everything leading up to it, just made me want to take a wire brush to my memories"); readers will easily understand her difficulty in moving forward, accepting help and comfort from those around her, and finding a way to forgive herself. Lena's budding romance with Sebastian fits well within the narrative, illustrating that life goes on even in the darkest of times. Ages 14 up.
JLA with another outstanding novel!
can't wait for more books by JLA, every one of her books are incredible, but this one sends such positive messages! definitely was a must read! loved it so much.
4.5☆ Well that was an emotion filled book! I wasn't expecting the book to go the route it did; that was a bit of a shocker to me. If There's No Tomorrow is written so well. The way that JLA packs this book with so much emotion and heart is wonderful. I could really see the psychology side of her come out with all the repercussions of the incident and all the advice given to the characters. She was able to weave multiple morals into the story on top of it. Lena goes through so much in this book, but I enjoyed reading about how she viewed and thought of everything after what she went through. I felt for her every step of the way and wanted her to come out on top and find a way to be happy. Sebastian is such a good guy. He can be a goof ball, but yet really sweet and caring. I love his relationship with Lena and how it changes throughout the course of the book and with everything going on around them. It was a wonderful book to read, I wish it could have kept going!
As with all Jennifer L Armentrout books, If There's No Tomorrow was a book I couldn't put down. The main character, Lena, has a lot of issues to deal with throughout the book. She describes herself as an average 17 year old girl. Shes loves to read, she's on the volleyball team, and she's working very hard to get early acceptance to the school of her choice. But, Lena makes a choice one night that not only affects her, its affects everyone around her.
"I was a runner, too, and not the healthy kind. When things got too rough, I checked out, just like Dad had. I made an art form of looking toward tomorrow instead of focusing on today."
Lena's friendships are ultimately put to the test after her life altering choice. It's easy to let some things fall apart after a tragedy occurs. Lena's friends try to help her come to terms and cope with her decisions but she pushes them away. Sebastian has been Lena's friend since they were eight year old. They have been in love with each other for just as long but neither one has wanted to admit their feelings. Sebastian stands up to Lena and will not let her retreat into herself. Sebastian is swoon-worthy like many of JLA's other male leads.
"None of us are promised a tomorrow...We don't always get a later."
This book is beautifully written. The subject matter is something important that needs to be talked about. While this is geared towards YA, what happens in ITNT, hits the mark. It shows how one choice can alter your life immensely. How we can take our lives and safety of others around us for granted. This book was spot on with the social media aspect too. It shows that people are quick to be the judge and jury of someone's choice. Lena has a very difficult time overcoming what she thinks everyone else is thinking about her. Her character does a lot of growing and changing in this book.
I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. This book will stick with me for a very long time.

South America in a Sprinter: Part 1
Ernst A. Hegenbarth on	 9th May 2019 Adventures, Travel
It always happens at the most awkward moment – when the sun is setting on a bad road in the middle of nowhere. We had driven our Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 from Arica, a coastal town in the north of Chile, towards the border of Bolivia. It takes only a few hours for the road to climb from sea level up to 4850m above that in the Andean mountains. It was already late afternoon, but we wanted to use the best light to take pictures of Lake Chigará with the snow-covered Nevado Sajama (at 6542m, one of the highest volcanoes in the world, and the highest mountain in Bolivia) in the background.
Lago Chingará, Chile.
The air was very thin, and we had not yet acclimatised to it. On the way back from the pass, I was blinded by the setting sun and we hit a large rock lying in a construction site on the single-lane road. The Sprinter shot up like a rocket, only to hit another rock with its right rear wheel.
Within a few seconds, the tyre was flat, and we could see that the rim was significantly distorted. And then we learned a new lesson: changing a tyre at nightfall in the Andes at 4650m can be very challenging. Not only is it bitterly cold, but in the pitch-dark, nobody will stop to help you.
The preparations
SOME STATISTICS
Vehicle weight with all tanks filled: 3750kg
Total trip distance: 26 272km
Total diesel consumed: 3643.24 litres
Diesel consumption litres/100km: 13.86
Diesel prices (in ZAR):
Bolivia 7.73
Argentina 13.93
Peru 14.05
Brazil 14.92
Chile 14.70
Uruguay 20.18
Some weeks earlier, we had shipped our Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 on the Grimaldi vessel Grande Africa from Hamburg in Germany to Montevideo in Uruguay. Usually it takes about four weeks, with some stops in West Africa, Brazil and Argentina.
We had spent more than a year preparing our Sprinter for this journey.
When we bought the vehicle in 2015, it had already been converted to an overland vehicle − with amenities that included a kitchen with a gas stove, a sink, a fridge, a shower cabin with a Thetford toilet, a 100-litre fresh-water tank, and a 40-litre tank for grey water.
The cabin, which is very comfortable, has beds for three people, a table with 3 rotatable seats and dimmable LED lights.
As we'd had some experience of using a solar-panel system on our Toyota Land Cruiser 78 in South Africa, we decided also to equip the Sprinter with an 180W solar panel system, a Votronic inverter, and an automatic booster for the two auxiliary batteries and the starter battery. Using the Votronic information panel, we can, at any time, monitor the batteries, the water tanks, and the charging process via either the solar panels, or 220V from an external power source. As it turned out, during the entire South American trip of more than 26 000km in six months, we were totally independent of any external power source.
The suspension was upgraded with an air-suspension system and onboard compressor from the Netherlands-based company VB.
We also fitted airline rails on the driver's side to attach recovery tracks and a jerry can from Front Runner.
One of the most important alterations was replacing the original 18-inch rims and General Grabber 255/60 R18 tyres, with 16-inch steel rims and BF-Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 245/75 R16 tyres. Two spare-wheel carriers with spare wheels were also fitted to the rear doors.
Our BF-Goodrich KO2 tyre was miraculously still intact after the incident in Chile, and could be re-mounted after some panel-beating of the rim in a tiny workshop in San Pedro de Atacama by some local "experts" with a hammer.
However, during our preparations, we had two major concerns. How would the Mercedes Benz Sprinter with its Euro 6 engine specification and AdBlue emissions system perform at high altitude? And would the engine tolerate the poor-quality diesel in Peru and Bolivia?
We had learned (from various internet blogs written by other travellers to this part of the world) that vehicles with Euro 6 engines, AdBlue, and equipped with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) would encounter problems at high altitudes above 3000m.
As we wanted to avoid any issues and potentially dangerous situations (such as having the vehicle switch to limp mode far away from any workshop), we decided to take action. The DPF was taken out of the system, and the electronic control system (ECS) was re-programmed to simulate a Euro 4 engine program. On our return to Europe, the electronic control system of the engine would be re-set.
We booked a flight to Buenos Aires in Argentina for late August 2018. After our arrival, we took a ferry to Montevideo across the Rio de la Plata. The arrival of the ship with our vehicle on board was delayed for several days, so we had the pleasure of exploring the capital of Uruguay and enjoying the fare at some of its excellent restaurants. Still, a few days later, we were very pleased to see our Sprinter parked unharmed between some other overland vehicles in the harbour of Montevideo. The journey could begin!
A jaguar quest
Our first destination was the famous Iguaçu-Falls between Argentina and Brazil. They are very impressive even when compared to the Victoria Falls, and we spent some days in the area.
Since wildlife photography is our focus, we hit the road towards the Pantanal swamps in Brazil. Our goal was to see one of the most fascinating big cats endemic to this region – the jaguar!
Hyacinth macaws
Capybara with egret
Giant anteater
Some more macaws.
Altogether, we spent almost a month in the Pantanal. This huge swamp covers some 230 000 square kilometres in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, and extends into some parts of Bolivia and Paraguay. That is about 12 times the size of the Kruger National Park (19 485km2).
It was very exciting to drive the Sprinter over 122 rickety wooden bridges along the 147km Transpantaneira Road from Poconé to Porto Jofre. We left the Sprinter here for 10 days, and headed for the SouthWild Lodge, the stepping-off point for our jaguar search.
Wild camping at a filling station in Brazil.
We had booked this part of the journey in advance with Reef and Rainforest Tours in the UK, as local knowledge was vital for our quest. From Porto Jofre, our guides took us in a speedboat along the Cuiabá River into the Three Brothers River, where we stayed for some days at the SouthWild Jaguar Retreat, a former fishing camp. Every day we went searching for jaguars, using small boats along the riverbanks in the soaring heat − over 40°C.
Capybaras (the world's largest rodents) and caymans are the most important prey of jaguars. Jaguars behave more or less like big cats in Africa, and in some areas of the Pantanal, they are just as used to boats and their human cargo as lions are to game-drive vehicles in Africa. So, as well as some great sightings of jaguars and phenomenal opportunities for fantastic bird-photography, we also managed to capture some exciting video footage of mating jaguars.
Deforestation in Brazil and Peru
Brazil is a massive country, and the driving distance north from Cuiabá to Porto Velho and the Amazon area is huge − by any overlanding standard. For days, we crossed endless soya and cotton fields, and saw the continuous destruction of the natural jungle vegetation on an unbelievable scale.
When travelling in Zambia and Tanzania, we were always shocked by how the local people were destroying their habitat in order to produce charcoal to supply the cities with fuel for cooking. However, what we saw in Brazil was even worse. Areas as large as provinces in southern Africa have been laid bare, with smouldering fires and widespread smoke a constant theme.
We arrived at the Rio Madeira one evening, in pouring rain. We had to cross over by ferry, but some trucks with technical problems had blocked the road to the ferry landing. It was chaos on a grand scale; and, with all the trucks around us, we didn't know how to handle the situation. Nobody spoke English and our Portuguese is very basic – just good enough for ordering a beer and some caipirinhas.
After some hours, we decided to stay the night wedged between all these trucks, and had actually begun to prepare dinner when the trucks suddenly started moving. It was like a miracle. As if following some giant signal, we all started our engines and moved towards the ferry.
Once on the other side, we followed a road through dense jungle for about an hour, finding no place to pull off and park the vehicle. We eventually spent the rest of the night at a former filling station which had clearly been abandoned a long time back, and which looked like a spooky set from a C-movie. This was another lesson learned: night driving is not advisable when you may have to face unknown situations or strange people.
The border-crossing from Brazil to Peru was easy and straightforward on the Brazilian side, although we took forever at the border post to Peru. All details of the vehicle were entered into big ledgers, and we had to buy third-party vehicle insurance for Peru. Before starting the trip, we had bought insurance for all the other countries from an agency in Buenos Aires.
The road to Peru leads through dense Amazon rainforest.
From the border, we drove through lush green jungle landscapes, with evidence of some subsistence farming along the road. We felt completely safe when parking our Sprinter in small villages for the night. Unlike some places in Africa, nobody came to eye us, nor were they interested in our vehicle. Local people in general were very laid back, and not as curious as they are in other parts of the world.
Crossing the Andes: rainforest to desert
We spent two nights at the Wasai Lodge at Puerto Maldonado, which had a beautiful view over the Rio Madre de Dios. We then spent some days in the Tambopata National Reserve, one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, and a jewel of true Amazon rainforest.

The Aryan School Dehradun is one of the India's leading boarding school.
Since its founding in 2001, The Aryan School, Dehradun has been preparing school students with an education and learning for a lifetime.
Size: With an annual enrollment of approximately 80 students, the school is an intentionally small, close-knit community.
Students: Our student body represents roughly 20 different states and 9 foreign countries. Although they come from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, students share a common appreciation for the value of good character, hard work and scholarship.
Faculty: Our faculty members bring with them a wide range of experiences, talents and backgrounds. But they all share a dedication to the mission of the school, striving to educate the mind, body and spirit of each of their students.
Opportunities: Students have many occasions to demonstrate leadership and to participate in competitive athletics, the arts and outdoor adventures.
Outings: Students learn to challenge themselves and try new things in a program that teaches students to appreciate the great outdoors for a lifetime. Because our campus is located in the heart of the Dehradun Valley, students have ample opportunities to explore.
Campus: Our stunning campus is in the heart of the Dehradun Valley, ten minutes from the historic Clock Tower, Dehradun. Our facilities combine learning with 21st century technology.
The Aryan School, Dehradun is about much more than knowledge, skills and paper qualifications. Ethical principles and a positive view of the world and its people play as much of a part in everyday school life as the academic outcomes, important as they undoubtedly are.
That's simply because of The Aryan School's belief that each individual has the potential for goodness and a responsibility to attain that goodness. From the youngest child in The Aryan School Dehradun, to the most senior member of staff, there is, we believe, 'that of God' in everyone.
Following its principles, The Aryan School motivates its pupils to be creative thinkers, peacemakers and confident humanitarians. We hope that, while they are at School, and afterwards, they will make contributions to responsive and responsible public leadership in the world.
Since the School was founded on moral principles, all the students learn their academic lessons in an informal, supportive setting before going on to live their moral lessons for the rest of their open-minded, confident, inquiring lives. That's why people say that The Aryan School is one of the best boarding and top residential schools in Dehradun.

Q: Parceable error : Unmarshalling unknown type code 7274595 at offset 1112 I go to activity from two fragment and i pass extras through intent the first intent is data
 Intent intent = new Intent(getContext(), AllAlbumImgActivity.class);
        photoGrapherSavedPhoto.albumName=getResources().getString(R.string.photos);
        intent.putExtra(SELECTED_IMG_ID, photoGrapherSavedPhoto.id);
        intent.putExtra(LIST_NAME, getActivity().getResources().getString(R.string.photos));
        intent.putExtra(LIST_TYPE, CURRENT_PHOTOGRAPHER_PHOTOS_LIST);
        intent.putExtra(CURRENT_PAGE, nextPageUrl);
        intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(ALL_ALBUM_IMAGES, (ArrayList<? extends Parcelable>) photoGrapherPhotoList);
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
        startActivityForResult(intent, ALBUM_LIST_REQUEST_CODE);

and it worked fine
the second intent
 Intent intent = new Intent(getContext(), AllAlbumImgActivity.class);
        photoGrapherSavedPhoto.albumName="Saved";

            this.albumImgList = intent.getParcelableArrayListExtra(ALL_ALBUM_IMAGES);
            int selectedPosition = intent.getIntExtra(SELECTED_IMG_ID, 0);

            for (int i = 0; i < albumImgList.size(); i++) {
                if (albumImgList.get(i).id == selectedPosition) {

How to Install a Windows Operating System
How To › Windows
Step-by-step guides to installing Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista & XP
General Manager, VP, Lifewire.com
Tim Fisher has 30+ years' professional technology support experience. He writes troubleshooting content and is the General Manager of Lifewire.
Installing Windows might sound like a daunting task but it's really quite easy, especially if you're installing a more recent operating system like Windows 10, Windows 8 or Windows 7. But no need to take your computer into the local experts for a simple reinstall — you can install Windows all by yourself!
Just find the Windows operating system below that you're planning to install and then click on for visual, step-by-step guides explaining how to install each OS.
Install Windows 10
Installing Windows Stage of Reset This PC in Windows 10.
Windows 10 is Microsoft's latest version of Windows and installation of this operating system is probably the easiest of them all.
If you already have Windows 10 installed and you're looking to reinstall it, even as a "clean" reinstall, the Reset This PC process is an easier-to-do, and equally effective, way to do this. See How to Reset Your PC in Windows 10 for a full walkthrough.
Install Windows 8
Install Windows 8.
The very best way to install Windows 8 is with a method called a "clean install."
With a clean install, you'll get that "new computer" feel with Windows 8, without all the junk software. If you're replacing a previous version of Windows, clean installing Windows 8 is most certainly what you want to do.
Here's a complete tutorial of the Windows 8 clean install process, complete with screenshots and detailed advice along the way.
There's not usually much reason to install Windows 8. Windows 10 is better and you can usually get it for free with your Windows 8 activation code.
Windows 7 is probably the easiest Windows operating system to install. You're only asked a few important questions during the installation — most of the setup process is completely automatic.
Like with other versions of Windows, the "clean" or "custom" method of installing Windows 7 is the smartest way to go compared to an "upgrade" install or the less common "parallel" install.
This 34-step tutorial will walk you through every individual step of the process.
Install Windows Vista
Like Windows 7, the Windows Vista install process is very easy and straightforward.
In this short walkthrough from TechTarget, you'll see how to boot from the install DVD and step through the major sections of this process.
Install Windows XP
Installing Windows XP can be a bit frustrating and time-consuming, especially when compared to the installation processes in Microsoft's newer operating systems.
Don't worry that you can't do this one, however. Yes, there are lots of steps, and thank goodness Microsoft solved some of these tedious things in newer versions of Windows, but if you still need Windows XP, and you're installing it new, or reinstalling it from scratch, this tutorial will help.
If you're trying to solve a problem and haven't yet given the repair install process available in Windows XP a try yet, do that first. See How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install for a complete walkthrough.

"The Heath Free Public Library was opened for public use July 17, 1894, the town having voted in 1893 to accept the provisions of the Library Act of 1890, and having received $100 worth of books as selected as a foundation for the library by the Free Public Library Commission." So reads a quote from Free Public Libraries of Massachusetts, 1899. [See complete article below.] And so began the Heath Free Public Library's history in the town of Heath, Massachusetts.
The library's first years were spent quartered in the home of H. Kirk Smith, the Town's first librarian. His home, built in the late 1700's by Benjamin Maxwell Sr., is located at 15 South Road, and is known as the Maxwell House. Annual expenses, as reported in the Annual Town Report of 1896, list "Rent of Library Room, fuel, lights, and services of Librarian, $24."
In 1897 a two story, 36 by 28 foot, wooden building, named Sawyer Hall for one of its benefactors, was erected at the cost of $1,400 to serve as a library and non specified "other town uses". The expense was met by contributions, including $500 from Ellsworth Sawyer of Phillipston; $100 from William Snow of Westchester, NY; $25 from John Leavitt of Watertown, IA; and from Mrs. F. E. Welch, an active participant in the building program. $400 was appropriated by the town for the purchase of a fireproof vault to house town records, and to build a room for town officers. At a later time an addition was built which added a dining room, kitchen; on the second floor was added a room for use as a pool room and a hall used for Grange meetings.
Photo of Sawyer Hall printed in Free Public Libraries of Massachusetts, 1899, page 158.
During the years 1899 to 1925 the library was the recipient of 30 - 35 books a year borrowed from the Woman's Educational Association of Boston, MA. In 1905 the State sent the first of a series of Vital Records of Massachusetts Towns in conjunction with a fund called the Eddy Fund. In 1908 the Librarian, H. Kirk Smith, introduced the card catalog. Grace Burrington was paid $7.45 for cataloging 1,860 books. After the death of H. Kirk Smith in 1915 the books were classified, arranged, and cataloged according to the Dewey Decimal System.
From 1894 through the mid 1960's, when the library purchased a gas heater, the librarian's first job each day was to carry wood from the wood room in back of the building and light a fire in the black stove.
During the years 1978-1980 Sawyer Hall was renovated. The library was enlarged to more than double its prior size, with a magazine reading room on the second floor. At that time it had a section for small children and teens, as well as a front area which was used for town committee meetings. Sawyer Hall underwent renovation again in 1997 to allow for first floor handicap accessibility.
The Heath Free Public Library was opened for public use July 17, 1894, the town having voted in 1893 to accept the provisions of the library act of 1890, and having received $100 worth of books, selected as a foundation for the library by the Free Public Library Commission. The annual appropriation for its support made by the town is $15. There is also available the income of a permanent fund of $500, called the Maxwell fund, because presented to the library by the heirs of George Maxwell, late of Rockville, Conn. The books left of two school-district libraries were incorporated with the new library.
In 1897 a two-story wooden building, thirty-six by twenty-eight feet in plan, was erected, at a cost of $1,400, to serve as a home for the library and for other town uses. The chief part of the expense was met by a general subscription among friends of the library, the most noteworthy contributions being $500 from Elsworth Sawyer of Phillipston, $100 from William Snow of Westchester, N.Y., and $25 from John Leavett of Waterton, Iowa. Mrs. F. E. Welch was a liberal donor, and active in obtaining the necessary funds for the building. The town appropriated $400, which was devoted to a fire-proof vault for town records and a room for the town officers.
The library is open Saturday afternoons and evenings, and the annual cost of administration is $24. The trustees, three in number, elected for the usual terms, are: Mrs. Martha Barber, Mrs. Felicia E. Welch and Walter E. Kinsman. The librarian is Henry Kirk Smith.
Population, 1895, 476; valuation, $189,200; volumes, 1898, 612; circulation, 399.


Sustainability in packaging has never been more important.
We're committed to "Remove, Reduce, Recycle, Renew & Re-use" in our operations.
Currently we are exploring the use of sheep's wool in insulated packaging! Sheep's wool is a sustainable and highly effective natural insulation material which has been designed and developed by Woolcool eco-friendly packaging products and packaging solutions, offering impressive performance and cost benefits.
Woolcool insulated packaging products help companies and consumers reduce, re-use and recycle packaging as set out by the Government and following guidelines by WRAP (Waste & Resource Action Programme).
The MDPE film used to enclose the fleece and the LDPE envelopes used for Woolcool pouches are recyclable at local authority waste depots.
The cardboard delivery boxes are produced using recycled material and are recyclable at local authority waste depots.
In most cases Woolcool products are suitable to be re-used several times.

Silver medal for flood drain in Green Square
International award recognises City of Sydney's innovation.
Green Square's stormwater drain project has taken out a prestigious silver medal at the International Water Association's Project Innovation Awards held in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The City of Sydney project has reduced the threat of floods, provided millions of litres of recycled water to our communities and cleaned up the water that ends up in the Cooks River.
The City of Sydney's stormwater drain project won the silver medal at the International Water Association's Project Innovation Awards
Green Square was once a network of wetlands and creeks - essentially a floodplain. When it became an industrial heartland, paved areas increased and natural drainage drastically decreased.
With a growing population, Green Square couldn't be fully redeveloped without finding a solution.
The solution and the team
Stretching for more than 2km, the Green Square stormwater drain runs from Zetland to the Alexandra Canal.
We made it possible by forming the Drying Green Alliance in partnership with Sydney Water – plus industry partners UGL Infrastructure, Seymour Whyte Constructions, Rob Carr, WSP and RPS Group.
The $140 million project also raised and lengthened Huntley Street Bridge and made the area around Sheas Creek open channel an attractive and usable public space.
The drain has drastically reduced the threat of high-level floods in the area and some of the features of this huge piece of infrastructure are having great outcomes downstream.
We put in 2 of the country's largest gross pollutant traps to treat stormwater. This means that up to 320 million litres of non-potable water is sent to new buildings and open spaces every year, effectively recycling rainwater closer to where it falls.
These traps also filter the stormwater meaning that what does flow into the Cooks River is cleaner and better for its ecosystem.
The Green Square stormwater drain has drastically reduced the threat of high-level floods in the area
Stormwater drains may well be out of sight and out of mind, but with another La Niña declared this summer, reducing the risk of rising waters has never been more important.
"It's wonderful to see this project achieve the recognition it deserves. Although it can't be seen or accessed like our libraries or pools, it is as important as any infrastructure the City of Sydney has delivered," Lord Mayor Clover Moore said.
"Not only does the trunk drain limit flooding and keep Green Square safe during downpours, it helps us capture and re-use water to increase our resilience during times of drought. This prestigious award is further proof that we are delivering a world-class precinct in Green Square, making it a wonderful place to live, work and visit."
The international award is further recognition of this project, which won the Infrastructure Project Innovation Award for NSW at the 2019 NSW Water Awards.

Mountain gorillas are one of the rarest animals on earth; fewer than 700 remain and there are none in captivity. To visit them on the forested slopes of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest ranks as one of life's all-time greatest moments, an experience to be cherished long after the event.
There are about 340 mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, almost half the world's population of these huge, yet gentle and endearing primates. Typically, they are found in family groups of between five and fifteen individuals with one dominant male, known as a silverback, who is the largest and strongest of the group. Mountain gorillas are the largest of all apes and a mature male can stand over six feet in height and weigh in excess of 400 pounds. Dominance among the group's males appears to be determined by size and strength. It is the dominant male who decides when the group will move, stop, rest, and where the group will spend the night. Mountain gorilla groups are stable, cohesive units that spend most of their time on the ground, "knuckle-walking" through the forest within their respective home ranges. Despite their immense size and strength, gorillas are typically gentle beings, intelligent and dignified. They are endlessly patient with each other and disputes are settled quickly. They are primarily vegetarian, with the leaves, shoots, and stems of a wide range of rain forest plants making up a majority of their diet.

UPDATE 1-Sudan says needs foreign currency for strategic commodities despite Gulf aid
(Adds details and background)
CAIRO/KHARTOUM, March 5 (Reuters) – Sudan is in dire need of foreign currency to continue buying strategic commodities, especially wheat, after its reserves of the grain dipped to a mere seven days in December, Finance Minister Ibrahim ElBadawi said on Thursday.
Bread shortages, caused by difficulties in raising hard currency to import wheat, triggered the mass protests which led the military to end 30 years of rule by Islamist president Omar al-Bashir in April.
The country has since received shipments of wheat and gasoline as aid from its allies in the Gulf, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, but has had to make extra purchases to cover its needs amid a crippling lack of foreign currency.
In December, its central bank struggled to secure $28 million needed to clear a 50,000 tonne cargo of wheat in port and had to turn to Al-Fakher, a little-known private company founded in 2015, to secure the funds in exchange for Sudanese pounds, ElBadawi told a news conference in Khartoum.
The funds were conditioned upon the purchase of local gold for export, ElBadawi said, which the company did by selling an initial 155 kg.
"We were in dire need of that ship to provide wheat to cover the country's needs until the end of December, when our remaining wheat reserves were no more than seven days," he said.
The civilian government Elbadawi is part of has taken over for three years under a power-sharing deal with the military.
It has drawn slightly more than half of $3 billion in support for imports of wheat and fuel offered by its two Gulf allies in April, he told Reuters in November, with the remaining funds expected to be disbursed this year.
Sudan also continues to subsidize bread and fuel, an added strain on the government's finances, and has said it aims to continue bread subsidies but to improve how they are targeted.
In crisis since losing most of its oil wealth with the secession of the south in 2011, the country has experienced an acute shortage of foreign currency. The dollar rose to almost twice the official rate against the Sudanese pound on the black market this week.

WittySparks / Science / The discovery of the Anti-Atom serves as a new ray of hope
The discovery of the Anti-Atom serves as a new ray of hope
Science Updated: January 29, 2022 by Kruti Beesam
Geneva, a popular place for having the UN headquarters in it, has witnessed one of the greatest inventions to date. The Geneva scientists have successfully created an antihydrogen atom and held it for enough time (i.e., 100msec) for a test. This test has made it possible for scientists to discover that this atom has the opposite effect of a hydrogen atom.
Anti-Atom solves Radioactive dump problems
This also allowed them to dig deep into the past and find out why antimatter created by the Big Bang in equal amounts suddenly disappeared and what happened to them later on.
An international team of physicists in the European Organization for Nuclear Research opines that this invention has helped them move a step ahead in their research. Now they can compare the matter to the antimatter to discover the later characteristics.
This gave a long sigh of relief to the Germans waiting for an alternative to the Nuclear substances that are causing harm to their country. There is news about the German efforts to prevent Nuclear wastes in their country.
There were mass protests against the German government's decision to extend the country's Nuclear reactors' life by the next 12 years. A recent opinion poll conducted in the country showed that more than 60 percent of the German population was against extending nuclear reactors' lives.
Until recently, there have been demonstrations against the transport of 123 highly radioactive Nuclear waste into France's country. Germany's strong disapproval of Nuclear waste's entry can be understood by the fact that it only has a temporary Nuclear substance storage site in Gorleben in the lower state of Saxony.
A special train carrying 11 Nuclear waste containers left France for Germany some time ago. The exact route of this special train has not been revealed to avoid protests on the demonstrators' part.
It is said that even the police have not been successful in convincing the demonstrators in favor of the government, which made the whole situation turn into an ugly state where several people were hurt.
20,000 to 50,000 people traveled to Saxony to express their strong disapproval of the special train's arrival, which is when the mishap occurred. The political parties in Germany have their own war going on regarding this issue.
The Germans are so desperate for alternative energy that they started using coal plants for electricity despite their adverse effects on their climate. Frankfurter Rundschau thinks that it would be an unrewarding effort to turn Gorleben into a permanent storage area.
Instead, he says we must look for a new place to become the permanent storage place for Nuclear wastes. This seems to be the only solution experts can think of to this long-unsolved problem.

Book Review: Prince And The Parade & Sign 'O' The Times Studio Sessions by Duane Tudahl
Could Prince have thrived in this current age of the 'bedroom' musician?
On the evidence of Duane Tudahl's superb new book – documenting every single studio session that produced the classic albums Parade and Sign 'O' The Times, plus countless others too – the answer would be a resounding 'no'.
As Tudahl points out in his wonderful follow-up to 'The Purple Rain Studio Sessions', Prince's genius very much depended on a coterie of talented, fiercely committed back-room staff, particularly Susan Rogers, Peggy 'Mac' Leonard, Coke Johnson and David Rivkin (brother of Revolution drummer Bobby), not to mention the constantly-on-call band mainstays Eric Leeds, Matt Blistan, Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, all of whom are interviewed at great length.
But there's absolutely no doubt who's the boss and the book doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths about Prince's methods and manners. However, it's an embarrassment of riches for the fan and valuable historical document, not to mention a great, gossipy read.
We join the book at the beginning of 1985, smack bang in the middle of the Purple Rain tour. We learn how he quickly tired of its routine and looked ever forward, taking particular inspiration from Sheila E and other collaborators, ducking into studios around the country often straight after a gig, usually recording between 2am and 6am (Sheila's album Romance 1600 was almost exclusively put together in this fashion).
We also learn that there were three huge equipment trucks on the tour – one that contained reels of tape, one with the stage gear and one that contained only Prince's instruments, so that he could record anywhere, anytime.
Tudahl tells the whole story of the fascinating Los Angeles night of 28 January 1985, when Prince won three awards at the American Music Awards but then failed to repair to A&M Studios for the 'We Are The World' session (he offered a guitar solo to Quincy Jones but was turned down!), instead going out to party at Carlos 'N Charlie's Mexican restaurant.
The evening had huge repercussions and began a period of press barracking – he was even lampooned on 'Saturday Night Live', with Billy Crystal blacking up and singing 'I Am The World'.
Tudahl has access to a huge number of candid interviewees who provide a kind of making-of guide to other key side projects from the period: St Paul Peterson talks in detail about the recording of The Family and his subsequent fall-out with Prince; Jill Jones describes the painful, hugely drawn-out period working on her underrated 1987 solo record; Eric Leeds describes how the Madhouse albums came about.
Then there are the fascinating details: we learn the full story of how 'Kiss' came together, with Prince getting inspiration while playing basketball on the Sunset Sound court; how the expansion of The Revolution in February 1986 was somewhat of a result of Prince's fascination with 'twins', probably inspired by his fiancée Susannah Melvoin's relationship with her sister Wendy.
We also get a real sense of Prince's incredible progression as a musician, especially through the early days of 1986, and learn all of the relevant details about his collaboration with Miles Davis.
We read how the US bombing of Libya on 14 April 1986 affected Prince, inspiring a talk with Jill Jones, the viewing of a film about Nostradamus called 'The Man Who Saw Tomorrow' and subsequent removal of some of the more frivolous material on Jill's album. We also learn how the LA earthquake of 12 July 1986 inspired the classic song 'The Cross'.
And there are fascinating nuggets about how he saw his own work – he reportedly told Eric Leeds and Susan Rogers on 29 July 1986 that he thought his lyrics to 'Adonis And Bathsheba' were possibly his best, though Leeds and Rogers certainly didn't agree… Both reasoned that Prince protested too much only when he was unsure of himself.
There are also the fascinating machinations of how the Sign 'O' The Times album finally came together, after numerous false starts, tracklist changes and the Warner Bros. top brass – led by Lenny Waronker – refusing him a triple album.
And then no detail is spared in the section on the 'sacking' of Wendy and Lisa, subsequent hiring of Cat Glover and reformatting of Prince's live unit.
The period is an absolute whirlwind, and the mind boggles how much all of this studio time cost Prince and Warners. But finally the impression we are left with is that this book gets as close to the 'real' Prince as we are ever going to get – it's not for the faint-hearted fan, but a fascinating, rewarding journey if you can take it.
As someone who regularly worked on a completely one-to-one basis with him, Susan Rogers often had the best seat in the house, and she offers rich insights into his family background and psychology. The section on Prince's lonely recording session of Christmas Day 1985 will linger long in the memory.
But all of this is only scratching the surface. We haven't even mentioned the making of 'Under The Cherry Moon'. It's another wonderful book and enormous achievement by Tudahl. We await 'The Lovesexy/Batman Studio Sessions' with baited breath.
'Prince And The Parade/Sign 'O' The Times Era Studio Sessions' is published by Rowman & Littlefield.

Thanks for the tip Matt. It sounds like a busy time to say the least, but a good read. I love the minimalism of the track Kiss for the record.

Thanks. The guy was just unbelievably prolific…


Sweaty thighs from exercising or a hot commute make for perfect chafing conditions. Sprinkle a little baby powder or talc onto them throughout the day to stay dry.
A clever new product that keeps legs feeling dry all day long, no matter how hot it gets. It claims to last up to four hours, but we tried it and found the results lasted much longer. It's non-toxic and forms an invisible, breathable layer. Can also be used during sports to cut down on sweat, for example any areas which get sore and sweaty during running or cycling.
Save money on lotions and potions with these clever knickers. They cover the tops of thighs to stop any kind of rubbing, plus they won't ride up.
A dab of Vaseline or similar lubricants can make a big different to sore legs. Keep a pot in your handbag and you can use it as a lip balm too.
Bepanthen, the nappy-rash cream, is great for reducing friction and soothing soreness. It is, after all, gentle enough for baby skin!

Leadership is Key to Peace and Development Say Experts at East Africa/Great Lakes Region Peace Conference
Aug 28, 2018 | Global Peace Leadership Conference
Africa is a continent vibrant with possibilities. There is vast potential in your great resources, a noble, spiritual and cultural heritage, and a large youth population yearning for a future of peace and prosperity. Dr. Hyun Jin. P Moon (2018 Global Peace Leadership Conference, Uganda)
Africa's Great Lakes region has faced its share of challenges wrought by political instability, social conflict, underdevelopment and youth underemployment. The 2018 Global Peace Leadership Conference hosted in Kampala, Uganda, highlighted the potential of African countries to create new models of peace and development driven by moral and innovative leadership. The conference convened leaders from all sectors: educators, business owners, faith leaders, presidents, and parliamentarians. The unique held on August 1-2 conference drew representatives from around the world, including the United States, India, Nigeria, South Korea, Tanzania, and Kenya. Together, on a common affirmation of vision and values, they addressed regional peace and security issues and explored innovative approaches to fostering social cohesion, advancing excellence in education, improving economic opportunity, increasing youth productivity, supporting women's empowerment, and addressing critical community development needs. Dr. Moon spoke at the high level plenary, joining conference honorary chairman Uganda President H.E. Yoweri Museveni, and representative heads of state from Burundi, Tanzania, South Sudan, Nigeria, and Kenya. Dr. Moon acknowledged the potential of Africa while calling for an urgent need for moral and innovative leadership in all levels of society to harness this potential as Africa takes the lead in generating new approaches born in a paradigm that acknowledges the value and rights of every human being.
"To tackle the obstacles before us that undermine peace and development we need, at every level – from the highest echelons of government to the smallest village community – leadership that is both moral and innovative."
He also drew a parallel to the story of Korea and African nations who have come out of colonialism and the cold war. They are poised, he observed, at an opportune time to unfold a new page in their histories. He encouraged African nations and Korea to draw on their spiritual heritage as a foundation to begin this endeavor, inviting participants to partake in the March 1 commemoration to share best practices and reaffirm the common dream of making nations that can secure the happiness of all people. The conference highlighted the One Family Under God campaign, a project of GPF Nigeria now in its fifth year that engages religious and spiritual leaders and civil society partners to counter violent extremism and foster community-level social cohesion through partnerships and grassroots programs that stress universal principles and shared values. The campaign brings together Muslim and Christian leaders and traditional rulers to reconcile religious and ethnic divisions by drawing on the respect and authority of faith leaders to uphold values deeply embedded in faith traditions. GPF Nigeria patron and former Second Lady H.E. Hajiya Amina Namadi Sambo. "Since the world has become a global village we need a common goal, where universal aspirations, principles, and values come together. We can build social cohesion through the family, community and the positive use of cultural and faith values." The Kampala Declaration, signed at the close of the conference recognized such shares values and committed to continued regional cooperation to develop and expand emerging models like the One Family Under God peacebuilding campaign and the Character and Creativity Initiative to make education relevant to 21st-century challenges. GPLC Uganda was co-convened by the Republic of Uganda, the Global Peace Foundation, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Inter-religious Council of Uganda, and the Private Sector Foundation Uganda. The original post appears on Global Peace Foundation. Global Peace Foundation is an international non-sectarian, non-partisan, nonprofit organization, which promotes an innovative, values-based approach to peacebuilding, guided by the vision of One Family under God. GPF engages and organizes a global network of public and private-sector partners who develop community, national and regional peacebuilding models as the foundation for ethical and cohesive societies. Dr. Hyun Jin Preston Moon is founder and chairman of the Global Peace Foundation.
