This is just the place for learning something about toki!
You can observe the ibises right in front of you,and we have plenty of materials on them!
At present more than seventy crested ibises are living in the natural environment. Because they have not yet reached the level where they have fully grown wild, we are not yet ready to proactively show wild toki to many people, including Sado islanders.
Toki Rapport Plaza is equipped with a giant cage in which ibises can fly around. It is designed to enable you to observe the ecology of toki, such as the flying, feeding and nesting, by recreating a seminatural environment inside the facility.
On display are panels and audio-visual materials concerning the conservation and propagation of toki, as well as stuffed ibises and skeletal specimens.
Only 2 centimeters apart from toki!? You can observe toki from a close vantage point.
You can observe the ibises in the Sado Toki Conservation Center through the windows.
Stone monument of "Kin," the last wild toki in Japan.
At Toki Forest Park we are asking visitors for a "cooperation fee," all of which goes to "the Sado Toki Environment Maintenance Fund" and is used for efforts to return toki to the wild.
Please note that when the park is packed, admission may be restricted.
On Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays local toki guides offer explanation.
Making a tour in a wheelchair is possible, but a caregiver is needed (for operating the lift, for example).

Tyler Hoechlin Sports A New Supersuit
December 9, 2020 Derek McCaw TV 0
In the Arrowverse, Superman has been played really well in all things but the suit. Though in "Crisis on Infinite Earths" Brandon Routh got to wear something much closer to Christopher Reeve's iconic outfit, main Superman Tyler Hoechlin had something between the New 52 Superman and Mon-El. For the new ongoing CW show Superman & Lois, it's changed. And it's almost classic. They still don't want the trunks, apparently, but at least it's better.
The CW released a full-body publicity shot this morning, so you can see for yourself. The suit was designed by Laura Jean Shannon and built by her L.A.-based Supersuits team (and I love that there's something called a Supersuits team) in conjunction with Creative Character Engineering. It's described as having "…a classic, timeless vibe that both harkens back to the Superman we all grew up with while grounding him and elevating the suit in a modern arena with updated techniques and applications." They just. Don't. Like. The. Trunks.
In the press release, Hoechlin commented on the change.
"I find that the new suit is representative of the show. Just as this suit is unique and set apart from the ones that preceded it, the story we're telling about Clark/Superman at this point in his life is unique and something we've never seen before. I appreciate the opportunity to wear the suit and the responsibility that comes with it. But it's always interesting when I'm asked how I feel about "my new suit," because I've always felt that the suit doesn't belong to me; it belongs to everyone that finds some kind of meaning in that suit, in the symbol on the chest. I just happen to be the one wearing it. I come from the world of baseball and a line of coaches that always preached that the name on the front of the jersey is more important than the one on the back. Because when you wear that jersey, it represents not only you, but your entire team, and everyone that has ever worn that jersey that came before you. So when I wear the suit, that's what it means to me. It represents everything that Superman stands for and has stood for, for almost a century now. And I look forward to carrying on that tradition."

While he may not be as bulked up as Henry Cavill, Hoechlin has one thing that Cavill wasn't allowed: the pure joy that can sometimes come with being Superman.
Designer Shannon said, "We got Superman into some custom athletic inspired Super-Boots as a 'jumping off point' and focused on a new neckline and cape to maximize the billowing and movement we all love to see in the books and films that have defined this character for generations. A streamlined muscle structure and updated paint job combined with some dynamic design lines and a sculpted armored belt all took his established custom fabric into a new direction to solidify the new look for Superman in Superman & Lois."
And if you're tired of those muscles painted on, I will direct you to the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon. There's a suit built for Laurence Olivier for the Scottish play that does exactly the same thing (and looks almost as good). It's an old theatrical device, and it works for me on TV and film.
I'll believe a man can fly. I just hope that Routh's and Hoechlin's Supermen run… or fly… into each other again.

Good Patola, Saturday Saturday, Move Your Body, from Buzz to Heartless, Badshah has impressed the public with his songs and every time Badshah announces his new song, the fans are really thrilled. And get ready because after seducing the public with his rap, Badshah will soon make his debut as an actor. This is true!


Contraction flow of viscoelastic fluids has been a benchmark problem in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics because it mimics flows occurring in a number of industrial applications. It is also of considerable interest to academia to gain fundamental understanding of factors that affect the evolution of vortices and a complete understanding of the dynamics for a simple polymeric fluid has not been achieved. In this two part study we investigate the effect of pre deformation of a Boger fluid in a contraction geometry and the flow of surfactants in a parallel contraction geometry.
Entry flow of a polymeric fluid results in the formation of upstream vortices,the presence of recirculation zones may lead to a nonuniform residence time and hence inferior quality products. In this work we study the effect of pre-stretching dilute flexible chain polymers by placing a cylinder in front of a contraction in a microfluidic device.This deformation applied to the polymer is remembered before it completely relaxes, this memory effect changes the rheological properties during the fading period of the deformation history. Applying pre-deformation gives rise to new type of vortex evolution that is different from the standard contraction case.
Semi-dilute surfactant solutions that exhibit shear thickening nature can be potentially used in enhanced oil recovery to increase the sweep efficiency. Two parallel microfluidic contractions of different cross sectional area are used to investigate the rheological effect on the mass flux of the two channels. Shear thickening micellar solutions were found to increase the mass flux through the small channel compared to a newtonian fluid. This effect was observed only for a small range of flow rates. As flow rates increased inlet instabilities were observed that evolved into a chaotic behavior upon further increase in the net flow rate.

My time here as the Twins beat writer is coming to an end as you all have read in my last post. But before I departed for my new job with the LPGA, I wanted to introduce the new Twins beat writer for MLB.com, Rhett Bollinger, to everyone. He soon will have a blog of his own and you'll get a chance to enjoy his work there. For now, though, here is his introduction to Twins fans and I know that you'll all welcome him with open arms like you did with me five years ago.
So I'm the new guy covering the Twins for MLB.com.
of you have pointed out) and I'm looking forward to the challenge.
I was born and raised in sunny Southern California, growing up in Glendora, a suburb of Los Angeles. I attended USC – – where I covered the football, basketball and baseball teams – – before joining MLB.com in 2008 as an associate reporter covering the Angels.
I stuck around MLB.com after that season, covering mostly the Angels and Dodgers with plenty of other assignments in between the last two seasons. It was a great experience serving in somewhat of a utility role, and I feel it helped prepare me for the Twins beat.
I've actually never been to Minnesota, however, but have heard great things about the state and of course, Target Field. So if you have any advice, send it my way.
I'm obviously very thankful for this opportunity, and appreciate all the support Twins fans have already showed via Twitter.
Speaking of Twitter, you can follow me at @RhettBollinger and I'll have my own blog here by early next week. In the meantime, feel free to email me at rhett.bollinger@mlb.com.
I look forward to bringing you coverage here at MLB.com and can't wait for Opening Day.
It seems to be a fitting description for where I feel like I am right now as I begin to write this blog. After a little over five years of covering the Twins for MLB.com, I'm getting ready to start what will be a new chapter of my career.
Next week, I will be joining the LPGA as a communications manager and moving to Daytona Beach, Fla. My job will entail traveling to LPGA tournaments around the world and helping to promote women's golf.
For those of you that know me or have followed my blog in the past, you are aware that one of my greatest passions in life is golf. I started playing the sport at the age of 5, spent nearly all of my summers on the links while growing up in Michigan and then went on to play for the Michigan State women's golf team (Go Spartans!).
When I was 12 years old, I wrote a paper for school detailing my dream of one day playing on the LPGA Tour. I might not be joining the tour in exactly the capacity I had envisioned when I was younger, but this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I could not pass up.
Sunday will be my final day on the Twins beat and admittedly there are a lot of emotions as I prepare to say goodbye to Minnesota and to all of the wonderful people that I've met while covering the Twins. It seems like just yesterday that I was moving to the Twin Cities and was greeted by numerous welcoming emails from Twins fans.
I've felt blessed to have the opportunity to work for MLB.com over the past six years, including the year I spent as an intern in Chicago. Over that time, I've been lucky enough to cover a World Series (yes, Twins fans it was in 2005 with the White Sox -sorry about that), three AL Central titles for the Twins and two Game 163s — the one against Detroit being perhaps the greatest game I've been able to see in person. I've gotten to watch two players have American League MVP seasons, covered Johan Santana winning a Cy Young and got a chance to write about Ron Gardenhire's wait for a Manager of the Year Award come to an end this past November.
As a reporter, I'll miss working with the Twins front office and covering a group of players that I watched grow over the past few years. It's hard to find an organization with more continuity in their front office than the Twins. And everyone — from the baseball operations department to the baseball communications staff to the community relations staff and so on –has been so helpful to me over the years. There are always changes within a baseball clubhouse every year but I've been fortunate that a solid core of this Twins team has been around for awhile. And because of that, I've been lucky to have formed some great relationships along the way.
I was also lucky to work with a wonderful traveling group of reporters during my time in Minnesota. I'll miss getting to tease LaVelle about the Bears and the Illini, trips to Wild Ginger in Seattle with Joe C., and having someone who understands hockey and my love of Glee like Kelsie does. I've learned a lot about this business from them as well as the many other people I've encountered over the years. It's impossible to mention everyone that I've been blessed to get to know but John, JK, Dave, Phil, Patrick, Tom, Barry, Stew, Peggy, Tonya and everyone in the Target Field Pressbox, thanks for everything.
I also can't leave without thanking all of the readers who have reached out to me since I started covering the Twins. With this blog and Twitter, I feel like I've gotten to create a much closer bond in recent years. It always brought a smile to my face when Twins fans would say hello during Spring Training or at a ballpark on the road during the season. Twins fans certainly have a strong passion for their team and I thank you for having welcomed me to this beat with open arms.
But now I'm getting ready to pass this beat along to someone else. Rhett Bollinger will be taking over the Twins beat and he'll be joining me in Fort Myers starting on Friday. I'll introduce him to you on this blog tomorrow and I'm sure you will all welcome him with open arms like you did for me when I started covering the Twins back in December 2005.
For now, I just wanted to say thank you one last time for everything. It's been a fun five years.


Hinckley-based Checkprint has enjoyed its most successful year to date after achieving a record sales turnover for 2017. The organisation, a member of the TALL Group of Companies, the UK leader in the provision of secure paper and electronic payment solutions, reached a pre-audit, unconsolidated sales figure of £5.2 million, representing a like-for-like rise of 19.5% on the previous year.
This growth is attributable to a number of significant factors, including the company's highest fourth quarter on record, driven by the upsurge in demand within the banking sector for cheque image scanners. The year has also seen Checkprint grow its UK Business Process Outsourcing activities throughout 2017 with more organisations now using the company's innovative payments bureau service to achieve time and cost savings. This growth comes on the back of securing contract renewals and service extensions with clients such as Barclays and Metro Bank at the beginning of 2017 that provided a great start to the year. In addition, the TALL Group won major contracts to supply cheque scanners to Santander and HSBC, which are fulfilled by Checkprint on the Group's behalf.

Why this is a bad Brexit deal – and what we need to do to limit the damage
A Wales and Europe flag at a People's Vote march. Picture by Ilovetheeu (CC 4.0)
Jane Dodds, leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats
So, in the end, there was a deal, even if it was an agonisingly thin deal and about as thin a deal as there could be.
At least Welsh businesses and Welsh farmers are spared for the moment the threat of tariffs on the goods they export. Though, it looks likely that prices in the shops will rise, as the cost of Brexit bureaucracy falls on the consumer, at least Welsh shoppers do not have to face further increases in the cost of the food they buy as a result of tariffs.
But this is still a bad deal. Wales, like the rest of the UK, will still be poorer, weaker, and have less, not more control over its own destiny.
We will still face the queues at the border, the bureaucracy and the restriction of our rights as citizens when travelling to Europe. Welsh farmers selling lamb to the EU will still be required to fill in more paperwork than their competitors in New Zealand.
The Conservatives, however much they talk of levelling up, have no intention of honouring their promise that Wales, a net beneficiary of EU funding, would not lose out.
This deal will make recovery from Covid much harder, both here in Wales and across the UK as a whole.
This deal was a sovereignty-first deal over everything else, and will dramatically diminish our economic, educational and human opportunities.
The UK is being taken out of Erasmus, denying thousands of young people – and not just students; Erasmus has offered life-changing opportunities to young people from some of the most deprived areas of Wales who would never otherwise have had such experiences.
First, Wales must redouble its efforts to be outward-looking. Outside the Single Market and Customs Union it will be that much harder to attract investment.
It means that we need to look to our own businesses, especially small businesses, to provide the engine for recovery, but it also means that we need to engage better with the wider world and ensure that we can offer the skills and knowledge base to encourage investment here.
That means the Welsh Government should work to find ways in which Wales can rejoin Erasmus. Not just because of the opportunities it will offer to young Welsh people, but because of its importance to the higher education sector here in Wales.
Second, we need to understand that this deal is not the end of the Brexit process. Important issues remain to be negotiated, such as access to EU markets for the service sector, data issues (on which the deal provides a grace period, not a long-term solution), and mutual recognition of qualifications.
The deal requires the EU and UK to engage with each other. The list of working groups and committees also that have been created to manage the relationship runs to six pages. How we manage those relationships will determine how far we can limit the damage of Brexit.
So, the question now is whether the UK regards the deal as the starting point, rather than the limit, of our new relationship with the EU.
We need to opt for the former. And we can only do that if we are honest in sticking to the principles underpinning this deal and the Withdrawal Agreement that preceded it; high environmental, consumer and employment standards.
I am convinced that as soon as the British people recognise how thin this deal is, they will be looking at how to improve it.
This deal has settled very little about the relationship between the UK and the EU and we need to continue to scrutinise how it applies to Wales.
There is one fundamental truth that no Brexit deal will ever change. The biggest challenges facing the world are global, whether in the form of global pandemics or in dealing with the greatest threat of all, climate change.
Climate change does not recognise national borders. Therefore, we need to co-operate globally to address it. The tragedy of Brexit is that it divides and isolates.
To recover from Covid and to deal with climate change, we need more global cooperation, not less.

Walter Barnes (* 8. Juli 1905 in Vicksburg (Mississippi); † 23. April 1940 in Natchez (Mississippi)) war ein US-amerikanischer Jazz-Klarinettist, Saxophonist und Bandleader.

Walter Barnes wuchs in Chicago auf und studierte bei Franz Schoepp, außerdem am Chicago Musical College und dem American Conservatory of Music. Ab Anfang der 1920er Jahre leitete er eigene Bands; daneben spielte er bei Detroit Shannon und dessen Royal Creolians. Als Shannons Musiker mit dessen Leitung unzufrieden wurden, übernahm Barnes die Kontrolle über das Ensemble. Er spielte meist in Chicago, obwohl die Band auch ein Engagement im Savoy Ballroom in New York City hatte. Er trat fast zwei Jahre im Cotton Club in Cicero (Illinois), einem Club, der Al Capones Bruder Ralph gehörte  1928/29 entstanden Aufnahmen für Brunswick Records. In den 1930er Jahren tourte er jährlich erfolgreich durch die Südstaaten der USA; 1938 umfasste sein Orchester 16 Mitglieder.

Barnes gehörte am 23. April 1940 zu den Opfern des Rhythm Club Fire in Natchez (Mississippi). Er trat dort nachts im Rhythm Club mit einer achtköpfigen Band auf, als in dem Holzbau, einer ehemaligen umgebauten Werkstatt mit nur einem Ausgang, ein Brand ausbrach. Zu den insgesamt 201 Opfern des Brandes gehörten auch seine Bandmitglieder Paul Stott und die Sängerin Juanita Avery.

Die Tragödie und Barnes Tod wurden in zahlreichen Songs thematisiert, so in "We The Cats Shall Hep You" von Cab Calloway; "For You" von Slim Gaillard; "You're A Heavenly Thing" von Cleo Brown; "The Death Of Walter Barnes" von Leonard "Baby Doo" Caston; "The Natchez Burnin" von Howlin' Wolf; oder "Natchez Fire" von John Lee Hooker.

New Year's resolutions: many of us make them each January, and then by March they are long forgotten. Some of the most common broken resolutions are to lose weight, quit smoking, get out of debt, volunteer, and be less stressed. In fact, around 45% of Americans make New Year's resolutions, according to a University of Scranton survey published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, and yet only 8% will accomplish them.
One of the reasons we fail to follow through with our resolutions is because we set lofty goals that are nearly impossible to reach. Many of us haven't yet become the type of person that is capable of achieving our biggest goals.
Fret not– there is hope! This year, let's work on the tangible actions that will get us closer to successfully achieving our New Year's resolutions once and for all!
Friends increase our well-being, no matter what our personality type. We can make it a point to get to know a co-worker's family, a couple from your church, a friend's friend, or join a meet-up group for a hobby that we're interested in. Social connection with others is one of the most important aspects of being human.
Most people only communicate through text messages, e-mail and social media these days. Sometimes people call each other, but nothing is as rare as receiving a letter in the regular mail. It's nice to let our loved ones really know that we took the time – and effort – to think about them.
Be the person that makes others feel special. It can be something small like giving a compliment, or something great like donating blood. By knowing we are making a difference, we will also indirectly increase our own happiness and sense of achievement.
Life is too short to continue to hold on to people who secretly despise us, and everything that we do. Let's go ahead and drop those people that constantly pick fights with us. It's not worth the stress and drama.
We might have a great family or a really messed up one – either way, they're our family. We ought to do what we can to make them a bigger part of our lives – even if it just means a bi-weekly phone call to our sister.
When we forgive, we let go of resentment, anger, and any other bad feelings that may be holding us back from being happy. Forgiveness is a great gift to ourselves.
Practicing humility is a great way to change our need to prove others wrong. We can all learn something from opening our minds and genuinely listening to what others may have to offer. It does not mean that we have to accept their ideas and beliefs. When we are confident in our own choices, we don't have to prove anything.
Even though we all have them, our negative judgments and pet peeves shared on social media make us look like horrible people. Let's stop and think before we post something offensive or mean-spirited from now on.
Appearances are almost always deceiving. When we judge a person by what they look like, we are depriving ourselves of getting to know a lot of great people.
We need to be responsible for our own lives. Allowing ourselves to play the role of a victim is not empowering. Circumstances are not always favorable, but we always have a choice to change things or remain the same.
Instead of cutting foods out of our diet in the hopes of losing weight, we can add new, interesting foods instead. Adding variety will ultimately limit how much bad foods we eat on a regular basis. Check out rutabagas, plantains, and green garbanzo beans, to name just a few.
It's a scary fact that most Americans don't have a retirement fund or a substantial amount of money in their savings accounts. A small step can be made to remedy this problem – make automatic investments. When we are paid each pay period, let's make sure that a portion of our pay is deposited into a savings account and/or retirement fund. When we receive a pay increase or bonus, we can also put that money into your savings. It's easier to part with the money when it's automatically taken out and we don't have to remember or worry about it.
Shopping is difficult to give up for many of us. Instead, we ought to look at where we are spending the most money and limit our shopping trips. When purchasing, go for quality over price. A good quality item lasts longer and will not need to be replaced as frequently. Other ideas that are great include using coupons or discount codes and go thrift and consignment shopping.
We all vote with our wallet. Because consumers control the economy, it's important to support businesses in our neighborhoods and surround areas. We can visit our local food co-op for groceries instead of Wal-Mart and shop at boutiques and consignment stores rather than big retail chains.
We typically do the same thing every day. Boring! What can you add to your routine to make it new and interesting? It doesn't have to be something drastic. It can be something as simple as changing the route we drive to work each day or reading five pages of a book each morning after we wake up.
If we wish to have a more productive 2015, we can start by putting away our cellphones and closing the internet browser on our work computers. Most text messages, phone calls, e-mails, and social media can wait. This discipline will get us focused on our important tasks and limit tendency towards procrastination.
It's a wise idea to turn off our phones while we are sleeping, while at important meetings, while spending quality time with someone, or when trying to focus on being productive. Our phones are a bigger distraction than we will ever admit to. While we're play on our phones, life is passing us by.
If we can do just one new thing each year of our lives from this year until the day we die, we will have lived an extremely fulfilled life. Let's prepare to climb that mountain to the summit, go skydiving, scuba dive with tropical fish, or mentor an at-risk kid.
It doesn't have to be a photo in a foreign land to be interesting. Exploring our own city is good enough. This is our chance to get creative. We can post them on Instagram, or just keep them for our own collections.
If we aren't already busy learning in school, we could take a continuing education class, join a hobby group, read a college text book, or join the creativelive.com community. Let's be life-long learners!
The foggy path will reveal itself one small step at a time. But we have to find the courage to take the first step. Relinquish control. Rest assured that everything always turns out okay in the end.
If what we do for a living does not create happiness or give our life a sense of purpose, we can start working on updating our resumes. We can take a risk and apply for a job that sounds really awesome…even if we don't think there is any way that we could get it the job.
We all have thoughts, feelings, and things that make us really happy – but so many of us make the mistake of sharing it all on Facebook. The more appropriate thing to do would be to start a journal. It's private, it's easy to re-read and reflect, and it doesn't offer bad, unsolicited advice for our problems.
There is nothing more healing to our soul than letting our emotions out to play once in a while. Strength and growth comes from allowing this to take place. Weakness is locking feelings away.
If we've been feeling 'off' for awhile and every day feels like a struggle, we shouldn't ignore it. It may be a warning sign. Reach out for help – it's okay.
It really doesn't get us anywhere by crippling our self-worth with negative talk for skipping workouts. The more critical we are of ourselves for failing to exercise, the less likely we will be to start working out again. When we do finish a workout, let's focus on how great it made us feel and praise ourselves instead.
Life isn't easy – and for good reason. The challenges we have to overcome in life assist us in personal growth. Each experience we have to go through shapes us into a stronger, more resilient human being. Instead of resisting and trying to control the order of life, let's trust that what we're going through is part of a bigger plan.
Can we try to be our own best friends each day? Let's give ourselves empowering compliments. The next time we think a negative thought about ourselves, let's take a moment to think about what our friends would say about us. When we learn to treat and speak to ourselves more kindly, we become better partners too!
What qualities do we show when we are being the best version of ourselves? What about the worst? What brings out the best and worst in us? What can we do to limit situations that bring out not-so-great qualities? We can even take a few personality tests online and see how our character traits are best used for success.
There is a gift inside each of us that needs to be shared. Focus on unwrapping the layers within yourself so that you can present it to the world.


Family is a basic foundation of a government. Without family, there is no society and without society there is no government. Lots of people think that itbis easy to build a family. Interview all those wh9 have a family and hear what their responses are. Some will say, it is hell. Some will say they regret, some will say they are uneasy and some will say, it is not a joke. In one sentence, building a family is not true. Before marriage, we have to be oriented again and again.
Building a family requires investment. If we are the ones who are t9 have a family, we should think how is it possible for me to take care and raise a famy without money? The number one concern of a family is to address financial needs in this industrial life.
We have to think of family planning. Without planning, family will be very hard and that there will always a trouble for finanacial nefor. It must be a sad reality that those who have no family planning do not know think of the future and they are uneducated ones. Actually, it is true that when we are to find the things that we have to, we will end up meeting sudden situation that makes us problemtic.
Technology is highly developed in this age. Then, we have to provide our family with technological knowledge since this is part of success. However, if we are going to approach this, we are suppose to know what is going on.

XServer appears to lack required GLX support

tightvncserver not supporting GLX isn't a surprise, but Evolution moving to a GL backend (through its use of the "clutter" toolkit?) is.  (Just to be clear: Evolution works absolutely fine on the desktop; the machine has the nvidia drivers via DKMS.)
What are the prospects for working round this?  I'm thinking along the lines of:

*

*Is there a command line option to Evolution which will fix this?

*Is there some way of getting GLX support in a VNC server?  (Alternatives to tightvncserver which support it?)

Note that I tend to be VNC-ed in over high-latency/low-bandwidth links; I've tried running Evolution remotely over X11 before and it's not a good experience; VNC works much better.
Debian-friendly (apt-get -able) solutions preferred.

A: After a little more research, all roads appear to lead to VirtualGL (docs), although I have yet to try it (setup instructions are somewhat... intimidating).  The documentation points to some .debs, and there is an open ITP for Debian.
As an alternative, it seems it may be possible to build a tightvncserver with GLX support via Mesa (e.g mention here).  That wouldn't be GPU accelerated of course (but how much graphics horsepower can email need???); of more concern is that (at least last time I tried), Debian wouldn't let you have more than one set of OpenGL libs installed on a machine at a time, and I wouldn't want to give up HW acceleration for local use.
I'll update here if I have any success one way or the other; I'm certainly still interested in any other (possible) solutions/pointers.

Progress: Installing VirtualGL via the appropriate .deb and following the instructions (not as bad as they first look; the coverage of a multitude of platforms bulks them up somewhat) gets me (HW accelerated!) GLX support in a tightvncserver.  That's the first time I've seen that!
/opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglrun glxgears

Evolution does also work via this mechanism, solving my main problem.
However, there are some significant issues with this method.  It only works when someone is logged in to the host machine (and not when the gdm3 "greeter" is displaying, in which case vglrun obtains a "could not open display:0" error), and any sort of display transition (for example someone ctrl-alt-Fn-ing to a virtual console) will kill the vglrun app with a "Could not Read Pixels" error).  Screen-locking seems OK though.  For my purposes, I can live with this (there is someone else who is primary user of the machine I'm VNCing into, and they're always logged in and most unlikely to do anything as technical as a ctrl-alt-Fn away from the desktop), but it may not be ideal for others.
Update: actually, there is a fix enabling VNC+GLX use while the gdm3 "greeter" is showing.  Simply drop a xhost +LOCAL: line near the start of /etc/gdm3/Init/Default.  The vglserver_config script does actually attempt to do this (for insecure setups), but it doesn't know anything about gdm3's configuration files (it does check for gdm and xdm though).  Although note that what would be better (and what the config script tries to do, assuming you've gone for the more secure options during setup, with the vglusers group) is to have a vglgenkey there instead, but this doesn't seem to do anything (doesn't create a /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key as its supposed to).
Update: Actually, creation of a /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key for gdm3 can be enabled by adding the Debian-gdm user to the vglusers group.  But that just moves the problem elsewhere with vglrun now complaining about being unable to lock something in /var/run/gdm3/ (which has permissions root:Debian-gdm).  I'm out of my depth at this point and the no doubt horribly insecure xhost +LOCAL: line will have to do.
Update: Just got around to updating this crufty old Debian machine from Wheezy to Jessie, and updated to virtualgl 2.5 debs from SourceForge.  vglrun evolution working great once the server is configured with vglrun_config.
Update: From Debian9 ("Stretch") I switched to using tigervncserver (new in Debian stable in this release I think; via the tigervnc-standalone-server package) instead of virtualgl.  See the other answer.

A: I've battled the same problem trying to get qtcreator working over vnc and eventually figured out why it wasn't working, and how to fix it;

You don't need VirtualGL, and it might even be worse than the alternatives. Importantly, you can make it work just using standard Debian packages.
VirtualGL is for app-server side hardware acceleration. GLX is for x-server side hardware acceleration. When using VNC normally the app-server and the x-server are on the same machine along with your vnc-server, so there is not much difference between VirtualGL and GLX.
The problem is the two most common vnc-servers tightvncserver and vnc4server are both x-proxy servers with their own internal x-server that doesn't support GLX. You can still make 3D applications work with them, but you need to use old-school app-server side software rendering, which means you need libgl1-mesa-swx11 installed on your app-server, and this conflicts with the normally installed hardware rendering version libgl1-mesa-glx.
Alternatively you can install a normal x-server with hardware rendering GLX support and use x11vnc, which is a vncserver that screen-scrapes a real x-server.
It would be nice if someone wrote a new x-proxy vnc-server with proper GLX support using libvncserver (used by x11vnc). Both tightvncserver and vnc4server are getting a bit crusty.

A: I see that in Debian9 ("stretch") something called tigervnc-standalone-server has appeared.  This appears to include some OpenGL support (I note mesa is a dependency).  I had no problems installing it on a fresh Debian9 install and firing it up got me a VNC-able (any VNC client) standalone (not "screen scraped") desktop running Gnome (no messing around with .Xsession files needed) which seems to have no problems running evolution or glxgears.  No virtualgl needed or even installed on the machine.  Very nice!  (Although I strongly suspect this solution is probably using SW rendering, whereas with virtualgl I was using the GPU; for primarily 2D desktop apps on modern CPUs, this is just fine though).
Note that the tigervnc server doesn't accept remote (non-localhost) connections by default (although there is a commandline option to override that); this is supposed to (sensibly) encourage you to use ssh tunnelling!

Ian Watt video blogs about about how the RCMP recently put out a news release warning about Thefts At Open Houses in Greater Vancouver so Ian Watt reminds you to hide your valuables before any accidents happen. If you want to voice your opinion or if you don't care for Ian's comments please email your feedback to ianwatt@ianwatt.ca and visit http://www.ianwatt.ca/RealEstateVideos for all the Ian Watt Real Estate Video Blogs.
Ian Watt: Hi Good Afternoon. It's Ian Watt in Downtown Vancouver. The RCMP The Royal Canadian Mounted Police put out a release the other day regarding thefts at open houses. There are people going around doing this in distracting the realtor and stealing things. Well one thing I always tell my clients I always trying to remind them when doing an open house put your computers away, put your valuables away but also on top of that. Put away your prescription drugs anything like that. If someone's come in over and they're talking to me. And then they have a young kid whose been trained to go and go through the doors find your computers or steal whatever. There's no way that we can keep track of it. So make sure you do yourself a favor when you do an open house prepare for it and put all your valuables or your medications and any computers or electronics away. My name is Ian Watt and if you have any questions. You could always email me at ianwatt@ianwatt.ca. Thank you very much and have a great day!

Q: How to prove that a Banach space of analytic functions containing $H^\infty$ except the origin is simply connected? If $X$ is a Banach space of analytic functions on the unit disk $D$ which contains the space of analytic bounded functions on $D$, how can I prove that $X\setminus\{0\}$ is simply connected?

A: For any Banach space of dimension $>2$, $X \backslash \{0\}$ is simply connected.
EDIT: Hint: given a closed curve $\gamma: {\mathbb S^1} \to X \backslash \{0\}$, first deform to a polygonal curve.  That polygonal curve is in a finite-dimensional subspace...
