Insight: Fifty Years And Still Lost On Immigration
` February 6, 2018
By Malcolm Strachan
THE Haitian exodus to The Bahamas has arguably become as Bahamian as conch salad. Haiti's precipitous decline has truly become a legend in the Western hemisphere. Geographically positioned in the worst place possible, they have become a nexus for natural disasters, which does not do anything to help a nation already mired in catastrophic conditions.
Haiti's unfortunate circumstance has evolved into the perfect storm.
Historian Alex von Tunzelmann perfectly characterises the country's woes, saying: "Haiti has had slavery, revolution, debt, deforestation, corruption, exploitation and violence."
As if a bad situation could not get any worse, she also blames the country's "poverty, illiteracy, overcrowding, lack of ifrastructure, environmental disaster and large areas without the rule of law as being contributory to an unimaginable catastrophic" chain of events, to which we, the Bahamian populace, experience the ripple effects.
Haiti's history is peppered with a little more tragedy than triumph – it famously became the first black nation to fight for its independence during the Haitian revolution and defeated the French. The sweet taste of victory was rather short-lived, as they were made to pay reparations to the French totalling millions in gold from 1825-1947.
Haiti was plunged into debt – borrowing from American, German and French banks at excessively high rates – which led to them spending about 80 percent of their national budget on loan repayments.
As if things could not get any worse, the regime of the Duvaliers began in 1957, with dictator Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier assuming the title of "Haiti's President for Life". A path of destruction continued by Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier led to a mass exodus of Haitian nationals who fled to escape the havoc.
For a people who suffered for centuries, many had had enough. Some figures placed the death toll between 30,000 to 60,000 Haitians during Papa Doc's reign, from 1957 to 1971.
Desperate to find a better life, the Haitian exodus began, and many migrated to The Bahamas.
Bahamians during the earlier years of the exodus had no idea the first 10,000 Haitians who set out for a new home would be dwarfed in 50 years. Today, totals are still unclear, but approximated to be around 50,000 in The Bahamas.
With Haitians risking their lives to land on our shores, after taking a death defying journey to get here – it would seem that it would be all worth it.
Though they are treated as sub-human by the vast majority of Bahamians, what they experience once unlawfully entering our jurisdiction is a proverbial red carpet in comparison with what they are leaving behind. Perhaps no picture better tells the story than images of tears streaming down the face of a Haitian man caught after having reached his "promised land".
Dreams of a better life are delayed, but not crushed as they are detained at the Carmichael Road Detention Centre. Many of the men and women who do not make it in their first attempt return home only to raise the funds, hoping to attempt another journey to greener pastures in the future.
It is that desperate for many of these Haitian migrants.
We can actually sympathise with some of them. However, is Haiti's unfortunate chain of circumstances a responsibility of the Bahamian people? The fact of the matter is no. It is not. We did not destroy Haiti's agricultural viability. This can be probably be attributed to Mother Nature. We did not destroy their economy and saddle them with insurmountable debt. Perhaps, this is the fault of corrupt leaders, the French, Americans and Germans.
In fact, when you really peel back all of the xenophobic rhetoric, The Bahamas has been far more gracious than others. Yet we are bullied by the international community for our treatment of Haitians, while everyone else ignores the strain their illegal migration puts on Bahamian life.
The inaction by the government that predates our independence has allowed the Haitian exodus to become engrained in our culture and society. With the large sums of money we spend on detaining and repatriation efforts, to the toll undocumented migrants place on healthcare, it is no wonder the Bahamian populace is bitter.
If we take into account the latest government misstep in the case of Jean Rony Jean Charles the Bahamian taxpayer may be stuck with yet another unwanted bill.
Does the government need to enforce the laws of the country regarding to immigration? Resoundingly, yes and always within the powers available to it. Should the government do its due diligence before repatriating a would-be Bahamian citizen? Most certainly – but never trampling on that indididual's rights protected within the Constitution.
However, when you set aside the embarrassment a government may feel in a stick-measuring contest, the only people left to feel the brunt of the impact are Bahamian citizens. We can sympathise with the desperate people of Haiti but like them Bahamians want The Bahamas to be better for our future generations as well.
Fifty years ago, Sir Lynden Pindling said the government would resolve our problems with immigration. Fifty years.
This is the single biggest failure of every Bahamian prime minister there has been. Prime Minister Minnis, seemingly guarded when asked for his thoughts on the case, only said the government's attorneys are reviewing it and t he government will do what is best for The Bahamas.
Prime Minister Minnis, please tell us what do you think is best for The Bahamas as it relates to immigration – not just in this instance – but as a long-term solution. We do not need to be caught in a vortex of political obscurity while the government tries to figure out what needs to be done.
If a law needs to be changed, then we implore you to change it. If not, and the laws of the land as currently constructed pertaining to immigration are acceptable – then for the love of everything holy, enforce them.
What we do not need is flippancy and further inaction. That is why we are able to stare 50 years down the annals of history, only to grapple with the same problem, which is only growing in complexity.
Since the prime minister's announcement that undocumented migrants must leave – unless we missed something – no one has left on their own volition. Moreover, after the Immigration Minister's clarification on the government's immigration policy and announcement of a "crackdown" on Bahamian employers – unless we missed something – no one has been charged with a crime.
If a Haitian is desperate enough to escape poverty by way of a voyage which only the strong survive – our government's effort to fight against illegal immigration thus far only advertises a paradise, which many are willing to risk it all to attain.
Do what is best for the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, Prime Minister Minnis.

Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment at the University of Tuebingen (HEP)
You are here: Campus Partner Institutions Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment at the University of Tuebingen (HEP)
Climatic and environmental changes had a decisive impact on the evolution of hominins – and the relationship with the environment will continue to play a central role for the future of mankind. The research questions of the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment at the University of Tübingen (Senckenberg Center HEP) are therefore highly relevant for today, even if they reach far back into the past: the overarching goal of SHEP is to conduct long-term research concerning the evolution of the bio-cultural diversity of hominins as well as the development of the relationships between different hominin species and their environment. To this end, the scientists at SHEP use modern analytical methods such as genetic and isotopic-geochemical analyses, computertomographical records and geochronological techniques.
The Senckenberg Centre HEP offers excellent conditions to pursue these research questions. Building on a long tradition in Tübingen, the Centre now provides a unique opportunity in Germany that encompasses six different disciplines at a single location that work on the biological and cultural evolution of mankind. Six Professors of the University of Tübingen are affiliated with Senckenberg and preside over the Senckenberg staff members of their respective work group:
Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology
Archaeo- and Palaeogenetics
In addition, these research units collaborate with Senckenberg work groups in Frankfurt and Weimar.
The underlying idea behind this Centre derives from the long-term project "ROCEEH – The Role of Culture in Early Expansions of Humans", established in 2008, which is supported by the Heidelberger Academy of Sciences and Humanities and is operated in collaboration with the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen and the Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung. This project continues to be an important part of the Senckenberg Centre HEP. Furthermore, the Tübingen research on the worldwide unique Palaeolithic site in Schöningen, Lower Saxony, was included as a research project in the portfolio of the Senckenberg Centre HEP since 2016. In addition to the long-term perspectives for research on human evolution, the Senckenberg Centre HEP also contributes to sustainable and diverse teaching as well as the support and further development of the unique palaeontological and archaeological collections at Tübingen. Since July 2017, the "Caves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura" are part of the UNESCO-World Heritage, which is scientifically based on the work of the Senckenberg Centre HEP.

Where have all the flowers gone - Singer: Jimmy Caravano
Where have all the flowers gone? (1)
by Pete Seeger
From "A Song-book of Folk and Pop Music"
by Mario Papa & Giuliano Iantorno, Zanichelli Editore, Bologna, 1977
Where have all the flowers gone,
Long time passing?
Long time ago?
Young girls picked them every one.
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone,
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone to young men every one.
Where have all the young men gone,
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one.
Where have all the soldiers gone,
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one.
Where have all the graveyards gone,
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers every one.
(1) Pete Seeger, the famous A¬merican folk singer and com¬poser, once came across Sho¬lokhov's novel ' And quiet flows the Don ', where he found three lines of an old Ukrainian folk song. He was favourably impressed by those few lines and tried to find the whole original long. After a year he gave up the search and wrote words and music of this beautiful song which has become very famous especially among young people.
The protest song
At the beginning of the 1960s there was a great change in the pattern of American and English )ife. This change was due to the Pop Revolution which broke down social barriers among the young. It was important, especially in Britain, where inhibitions had always given the British the reputation for being cold and reserved. The young broke through their traditional reserve and were no longer afraid of showing their feelings and their thoughts. The Beatles and some American folk singers, musicians and com¬posers such as Pete Seeger, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, helped the young to break the traditional barriers.
Pete Seeger first gained fame during the 1940s singing about ordinary working people, war, and social problems, and strongly influenced Joan Baez who has always been praised for the si plicity of her vocal style. She, too, like Bob Dylan, saw thechanges in society, hated the war in Vietnam and the exploitation of black people in America and sang about these import social items. Joan Baez also took part in demonstrations agaist the Vietnam war and once was put in prison for joining a for bidden peace march.

Quest NPCs, Non-player characters, Murder Mystery,
King's Ransom
This article is about Anna Sinclair. For other uses, see Anna (disambiguation).
9 June 2003 (Update)
Sinclair Mansion
She's dressed in a red top and green trousers.
Anna Sinclair is one of Lord Sinclair's children. When her father was murdered, she was one of the suspects. She used to live in Camelot castle, but when King Arthur and his knights arrived, Lord Sinclair and King Ulthas agreed that the knights had greater need of the castle and so the Sinclair family moved to Sinclair Mansion instead. This greatly angered all of his children.[1] Like her siblings, Anna has a silver-coated item, in her case a necklace.
She is fond of sewing and gardening. At one point, she had a relationship with Stanford the gardener, but when it ended she tried to get him fired by killing the flowers.[2][3] This caused Stanford to consider her to be the killer.[3] At some point, she bought some poison from the Poison Salesman to kill some maggots on the compost heap. If there are still maggots on the compost heap, she is the murderer.
She later conspired with her siblings to get Camelot back from King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. They allied themselves with Morgan Le Faye, hired some Kinshra knights from Lord Daquarius, and stormed the castle, taking the knights and the wizard Merlin prisoner.[4] They also threatened the staff, telling them that they would die if they left or spoke to anybody not of the family.[5] They then framed Anna for their father's murder, trusting that the investigator would get her free, and moved out of the mansion and into the castle. She offered to help the investigator get into Camelot if they managed to free her. The investigator then proved that the evidence against her was not definitive - the thread could have been either Anna's or David's; each sibling bought enough poison to complete their task and poison their father; Frank had also handled the dagger; one of her brothers was seen at the murder scene - and she was pronounced not guilty. She showed the investigator how to get into the castle then betrayed them to Morgan Le Faye. After the knights managed to free themselves, Merlin scared them off and threatened to turn them into rabbits if they tried anything again.[6]
^ Gossip, "King's Ransom", RuneScape. "The mansion is quite new. Originally, the Sinclair family lived in Camelot, although it went under a different name then. But when King Arthur and his knights appeared, old Lord Sinclair agreed with King Ulthas that the knights had greater need for the castle than the Sinclair family. So, Lord Sinclair had the mansion built, packed his family up and vacated. His children were furious with him for doing it. They felt themselves far better than the knights and felt insulted at having to live in a stuffy mansion."
^ Gossip, "Murder Mystery", RuneScape. "Anna... ah yes... Anna has 2 great loves: Sewing and gardening. But one thing she has kept secret is that she once had an affair with Stanford the gardener, and tried to get him fired when they broke up by killing all of the flowers in the garden."
^ a b Stanford, "Murder Mystery", RuneScape. "It was Anna. She is seriously unbalanced. She trashed the garden once then tried to blame it on me! I bet it was her."
^ Merlin, "King's Ransom", RuneScape. "With Morgan cunning and their riches, they make a formidable team. They bought the services of the Black Knights from Lord Daquarius and overran Camelot. We were outnumbered and taken by surprise. The Sinclairs stole our home, but Morgan struck the greater blow by stealing the Holy Grail, Arthur's most prized possession."
^ Hobbes, "Murder Mystery", RuneScape. "I'm under strict orders not to speak to anyone not of the Sinclair family. I was told if I left the house I would be killed!"
^ King Arthur, "King's Ransom", RuneScape. "I arrived back just as Merlin had kicked out the Sinclair children. He scared them off with a few puffs of smoke and frogs. He told them if any of them left their house again, he'd turn them all into rabbits."

Week Ending: Friday, March 29, 2019
Recap & Commentary
Domestic equity markets closed out the quarter on a positive note, capping their best quarter since 2009 and best first quarter since 1998 (as measured by the S&P 500). The move higher came despite economic data which pointed to further slowing, and lingering concerns about the recent yield curve inversion.
Brexit remained in the headlines as Britain's Parliament rejected for a third time, PM May's Brexit plan, while also voting down eight other possible options. Without a plan, the UK is set to "crash out" of the EU on April 12, risking economic chaos. In anticipation of such an event, the EU has scheduled an emergency summit of April 10. Meanwhile, Parliament is expected to hold more votes this week.
Bond yields rose on Friday, ending the recent yield curve inversion. The yield on the 10-year Treasury Bond ended the week at 2.41%, 0.01% higher than the 3-month Treasury Bill.
Following such a strong start to the year, investors should be prepared for the possibility of increased volatility in the second quarter. While a positive outcome to U.S./China trade talks would likely be supportive of markets, such an outcome seems largely "priced in" already. Meanwhile global economic data continues to weaken, increasing the chances that any downside surprises to first quarter earnings could result in increased market volatility.
Economic Bullet Points
GDP- 4Q18 GDP was revised down -0.4%, to 2.2%, matching the consensus estimate. Nearly all major categories were downgraded, with the exception of net exports. Overall, the revised data supported the notion that U.S. economic growth slowed in the latter part of 2018.
Personal Income and Spending rose just 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively in February, missing consensus expectations. Inflation, as measured by core PCE, the Fed's preferred measure, was largely unchanged with year-over-year growth slipping -0.1% to 1.8%. With little threat of the economy overheating, the data was supportive of the Fed's recent decision to hold off on any further rate hikes.
International Trade—The trade deficit narrowed by -$8.8B in January, after widening to its largest gap since the financial crisis last month. Even with the improvement, however, the deficit remains larger than 2009-2016 levels.
Housing- Starts and Pending Home Sales declined -8.7% and -1.0% in February, reversing their respective 11.7% and 4.3% rebounds in January. For both measures, the bulk of the swings were due to adverse winter weather conditions. New Homes Sales, conversely, rose 4.9% in February following an 8.2% rise in January. Despite mixed housing data, the recent decline in mortgage rates should boost demand and drive sales in the coming months.
Jobless Claims fell 5K to 211K, below the consensus of 220K. The four-week average of claims fell ~4K, its fifth decline in a row, to 219K, consistent with tight labor conditions.
Ride-sharing company Lyft held its initial public offering (IPO) on Friday. The company raised ~$2B, bringing its total valuation to $22B. Uber is expected to hold its own IPO in 2019, perhaps as soon as April.

Virtually usable is a literature review exploring academic and industry research in virtual reality usability evaluation. I wrote this paper for my final project in Design and Usability at Parsons School of Design in Spring 2016.
Given rapidly accelerating advances in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) applications are finally moving into the mainstream. More than ever, designers, developers, and project managers find themselves producing, testing, and delivering the experiences to a wide variety of people, the majority of whom are completely unfamiliar with the technology. My goal for this paper was to help frame the robust and informative, yet dense and overlapping, body of academic research into a more digestible roadmap or toolkit that helps those tasked with building and evaluating virtual reality applications –often not human computer interaction (HCI) experts – to quickly and easily identify which of the prevailing evaluation methods might best meet their needs.
My goal for this paper was to help frame the robust and informative, yet dense and overlapping, body of academic research into a more digestible roadmap or toolkit that helps those tasked with building and evaluating virtual reality applications –often not human computer interaction (HCI) experts – to quickly and easily identify which of the prevailing evaluation methods might best meet their needs.
In addition, I realized that there was a dearth of new formal research (after 2010) in the field. Since much of the earlier research assumes the available evaluation tools and technological constraints at the time of the study, I believe that current and emerging technologies such as wearables, facial & feature recognition, and more accessible/easy-to-use VE creation tools & (e.g. Google Cardboard) distribution platforms have the potential to support these evaluation methods in new ways. Thus I also sought to briefly sketch out some of my ideas for how these technologies might be used, and outline some related areas for further inquiry and experimentation.
To support the paper – which became a bit lengthy – I also thought it would be useful to translate the research into a shorter presentation that could be given to developers, designers, and engineers looking to build VR/AR applications.

Humans, being the inquisitive creatures that we are, tend to ask many questions about these fantastic creatures in the animal's kingdom.
One of the questions that pop up the most is what the heaviest land animals are? While this can be a very tricky question, when making a list of the heaviest land animals, there are always a few that come to mind.
Many popular animals from Africa, such as Elephants, Hippopotamus, Rhinoceros, and Giraffes, are always at the top. Interestingly, there are quite a few that you may not think of that are, without a doubt, some of the heaviest land animals in the world.
So, let's find out what some of Earth's largest animals are and what makes each of them so unique.
1. Elephant
2. Rhinoceros
4. Giraffe
5. Crocodile
6. Bison
7. Water Buffalo
8. Polar Bear
9. Kodiak Bear
10. Elephant Seal
11. Yak
12. Komodo Dragon

Elephants are the heaviest land animals in the world. There are about two main species of elephants in the world; African and Asian. And on the list of the world's heaviest land animals, both will come first and second. The African elephant can be differentiated from the Asian by the shape of the ears and the fact that both males and females of this species have tusks as compared to only male Asian elephants.
Weighing more than 6 tonnes, 20,000 pounds, the African elephant is the heaviest land animal. Interestingly, elephants can also stand over 14 feet.
Considering their weight, it becomes less surprising that this elephant species, roaming the land of Western and Central Africa, need to eat up to 300 pounds of food every day.
Apart from being the heaviest and largest land animal in the world, the elephant also has the longest gestation period of 22 months. More so, they are one of the loudest animals in the world and can be very dangerous.

Rhinoceros have five different types of breeds across the world. Out of the five types – Black, Indian, Javan, Sumatran, and White, the white rhino is the largest. With about 7000 and 9000 pounds, the white Rhinoceros are one of the heaviest land animals in the world. While this African animal is not as tall as the average elephant, it can stand up to 4 feet to 6 feet in height.
There are more amazing things about this huge creature. It has a giant horn on its head that can be up to 1.5 meters long, and this animal can live without water for up to 5 days. They are herbivorous and also one of the largest terrestrials living among all wild animals on earth, besides elephants.

Although these African animals are considered land animals, Hippopotamus spend most of their day in water to avoid hot climates, and they are also adept swimmers. The average hippopotamus can range anywhere from 5,000 pounds to over 9,900 pounds. And that makes them one of the largest animals in the world. Their length ranges from 9 feet to over 14 feet, and they are one of the most formidable animals in the wild.
Although native to South Africa, they can be found in zoos all over the world. Generally, Hippos are heavy eaters. They consume over 80 pounds of grass every day, and preferably, they feed after dusk. Unlike other animals, they don't have sweat glands. Instead, they secrete a red-colored fluid that functions as sweat in other animals.
Despite this, they have large teeth that is used when males duel for mates. The average lifespan of Hippos is 45 years in the wild.

Belonging to a genus of African even-toed ungulate mammals, the giraffe is the tallest and the largest ruminant among all wild animals that live on land. It is a member of the family Giraffidae. Giraffes can grow over 20 feet tall, making them the tallest animals in the world, and considering their weight of about 3,200 pounds to over 4,500 pounds, they are also one of the heaviest land animals in the world.
The giraffe has three most distinguishing features; first being its long neck, second, its horn-like ossicones, and finally, its unique coat pattern. The long necks on giraffes and their 21-inch tongues make it easy for them to reach food in trees to maintain their size.
More so, most of the weight on a giraffe is located in their neck, and they have a heavy heart as well. Interestingly, the giraffe's neck has the same number of vertebrae as the human neck, but each bone is much longer in the giraffe. These animals can also run at a speed of 50 kilometers an hour when escaping from predators.

Out of the many species of crocodiles in the world, the Australian Saltwater crocodile is the largest and heaviest. Growing about 15 feet to over 21 feet long and weighing about 2100 pounds to over 2300 pounds, the Saltwater Crocodile is one of the largest land animals in the world.
They are carnivores and feed on a wide variety of smaller animals like deer, pigs, larger rodents, and other aquatic animals and store the calories as fats which they can utilize when there is a shortage of food. The Saltwater Crocodile is very tough and has one of the strongest bites. They can also take out many of the animals on this list due to their similar size and immense strength.

The Bison, also known as Gaur, is the largest and heaviest species of cattle in the world and is endemic to South Asia; and is also one of the largest land animals in the world.
In fact, the other species of this animal, the American Bison, is also a huge animal. Generally, the males are larger than the females.
American bison can weigh up to 2,900 pounds, with an average weight of around 2,200 pounds. Sometimes, they can weigh up to 3,400 pounds. Their height and horn length are much larger than their domestic relative, making them intimidating animals.
Gaurs live in herds and both males and females, and their greatest enemy is the saltwater crocodile.

Many people tend to confuse water Buffalo with bison. While they do have some things in common, water Buffalo are smaller in weight and height. They weigh over 2,400 pounds, and that makes them one of the largest animals in the world. They are primarily found in Asian countries and are currently on the endangered list.
Also, the Cape Buffalo, found in Africa, is considered one of the most dangerous animals in the world as well. They can weigh up to 2,600 pounds and cannot be domesticated due to their unpredictable nature.
Water buffalo are herbivores. They feed on aquatic plants, grasses, reeds, herbs, leaves, and other vegetation.

Welcome to the Bear family. There are about eight different species in the world; black, brown, polar, sun, sloth, panda, Andean, and Asiatic bears. They can all be found in different areas of the world, and all have their unique characteristics. However, of all these eight other species, the Polar Bear is the largest. And with a weight of over 1800 pounds and a height of 10 feet, Polar Bears are one of the heaviest land animals.
Interestingly, polar bears are also the largest land predators. They are found in Russia, Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Norway. Because of their large size, they don't have any natural enemies except humans. The average lifespan of the bears is 15-18 years in the wild and over 30 years in captivity.

Kodiak bear is wholly isolated from other members of the bear family because of its remote habitat and is also one of the largest carnivorous bears in the world. More so, they are one of largest land animals and can grow up to 10 feet tall, and it weighs as much as 1700 pounds. Kodiak bears are omnivores. They feed on both meat and plants. During winter, they go into hibernation and can survive without food during this period. They slow down their metabolism process and use up fat stored in their bodies.
Kodiak bear populations are healthy and productive. They enjoy a relatively solitary habitat and can be very aggressive.

Elephant seals are one of the most fantastic Antarctica animals; however, there are many different species to observe.
The adult elephant seal can weigh up to five tonnes and grow up to six and a half meters in length. The females are smaller, with a weight of around 7 – 800 kg. The gestation period of the female one is about nine months; however, they have delayed implantation, and hence babies are born after 12 months; however, pregnancy lasts for nine months. The newborn babies weigh around 50 kilograms, and within three months, they became around 150kg one of the highly social animals for large groups or harems for a month during the breeding season.

The next on our list of the heaviest land animals on earth is another member of the Bovine family, Wild Yaks. They are found mainly in Asia, especially in elevated areas. They weigh over 2,000 pounds and can grow up to 11 feet in length.
Their long coat helps them stay warm. The male wild yak can be up to three times the size of a female. Domesticated yaks are also found in a similar area. They can weigh up to 1,300 pounds and can stand anywhere from 5 feet to 7 feet.
They are herbivores and feed mainly on grasses and sedges, such as Carex, Stipa, and Kobresia. They also eat a smaller amount of herbs, winter fat shrubs, and mosses and have even been reported to eat lichen.

Lastly on our list of the heaviest land animals in the world is the Komodo Dragon. Quite strange, yeah? Komodo dragons are amazing creatures. They are primarily found in four islands; Flores, Rinca, Gilli, and Komodo. And that's where the name Komodo came from. This creature was discovered over a century ago, and it's expected to exist for millions of years. The largest lizard species can reach up to 10 feet in length and weigh over 400 pounds, and that earns them a place on the list of the heaviest land animals.
They are carnivorous animals, and they feed on pigs, deer, snakes, fish, and water buffalos. The average lifespan of the species is 30 years in the wild and a few more years in captivity.
That's it on our list of heaviest land animals in the world. While, of course, the list is not exhaustive, as the animal kingdom is filled with different species of animals of different sizes and weights, it gives an insight into the weight variation amongst animals.

With this delay in exam, you can expect that now the result shall release in the month of June or July. This will further delay the admission of students in the next academic class. As far as class 12th students are concerned, their major problem is that they have to fill in marks obtained in college admission form and it is also required for applying for national / state level entrance exam.

The Diary of a Young Girl (Paperback)
By Anne Frank
First published in June 1947, 'The Diary of a Young Girl' is a classic of war literature and among the most powerful accounts of the Nazi occupation written by Anne Frank, a German girl and Jewish victim of the Holocaust. Anne is renowned for keeping a diary of her experiences. The story of Anne Frank is among the most well-known of the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust. Her diary is the first encounter many people have with the history of Nazi Germany's attempt to murder all the Jews of Europe during World War II. The book chronicles the life of Anne Frank, a thirteen-year-old girl fleeing her home in Amsterdam to go into hiding. Anne reveals the relationships between eight people living under tragic conditions-facing hunger, the threat of discovery, and the worst horrors the modern world had seen. It relates how Anne, her family, and their friends hid in secret rooms-'the Annex'-in an Amsterdam warehouse for 25 months. In these pages, she grows up to be a young woman and a wise observer of human nature. She shares an exceptional bond with her diary, which holds a detailed account of Anne's close relationship with her father, the lack of daughterly love for her mother, affection for her sister's intelligence, and closeness with her friend Peter. Anne Frank's account presents a captivating self-portrait of a sensitive and high-spirited young woman who turns thoughtful and learns of the many terrors of the world.

What Do You Get When You Cross Cee Lo Green and Elmer Fudd?
There are days when my mind takes a weird turn. Perhaps, I'm overtired or maybe just feeling silly, but my mental train jumps the tracks and decides to head for the hills. There, the bumping around causes me to mash completely unrelated items. Maybe, I'll pit Papa Smurf against Voldemort or maybe I'll ponder what drugs Dora might be on to make her think that a monkey is her best friend and that she needs to keep items away from a kleptomaniac fox.
Now, my track-skipped mental train picked up this song and headed in a zig-zag manner across my mind's landscape. It collided head-on with another favorite song, albeit from a totally different genre.
Yes, I started combining Cee Lo Green and Elmer Fudd. You'd think two such different lyrical sources wouldn't mix. However, as I got the kids ready for bed, I found myself singing the first few lyrics to the song. I stopped, whipped out my phone, and typed them out lest they be lost when my mental train righted itself. Later on, when I had some free time, I pulled the real lyrics to Forget You and wrote out the rest of the song.
Now, at one point, I considered filming myself singing this in my best Elmer Fudd impersonation. Then, I remembered two things: First of all, I'm not a great singer. I'm not horrible, just not great either. Were I to try out for American Idol, I wouldn't get passed to the next round, but I wouldn't be one of those weird, horrible singers that they highlight either. I'd be so boringly average that I wouldn't even make it on air. Second, my Elmer Fudd impression isn't that great. Sure, it amuses my kids, but that's about it.
That it was wabbit season now.
And my bwain hurts, it just ain't fair.
Yeah. Pwonouns just confwuse me.
Ooooh, I hate that skewy wabbit!
I twied to chase ya thwew a wog but wound up fawwing off of a cwiff!
Uh, Wabbits. Uh! Wabbits! Uh!
Oh! I hate them! Oh! I hate wabbits! Oooh!
I've been thinking a lot about fairies. You see, NHL recently discovered The Fairly Oddparents thanks to Netflix/Roku. And by "discovered", I mean I showed it to him knowing full well that he'd be hooked. Of course, being the TV geek-in-training that he is, he immediately went on a quest to watch all of the episodes there are.
If you aren't up to date on your NickToons, here's the quick run-down. Timmy's a little boy who has it rough. He's unpopular in school, has parents who frequently ignore him and has a babysitter who terrorizes him for fun. Luckily for him, he's assigned two fairy godparents – Cosmo and Wanda. Their job is to help him be happy until he's good enough to not need fairies anymore. At that time, he loses his fairies, loses his memories of them, and they get re-assigned to a new miserable kid. They grant him wishes with comical results while trying to keep their existence a secret.
At one point, while listening in on one of the episodes, I wondered about the guy who did the voice for Timmy's dad. It's a pretty distinctive voice and I wondered if I had heard it anywhere else. Being a TV Geek, I loaded up IMDB and browsed on over to the Fairly Oddparents page. I didn't see Timmy's dad right away, so I looked up a few of the other voices. That's when I noticed two things.
First of all, Timmy's parents and godparents are voiced by the same people. Cosmo's voice and Timmy's Dad's voice are by Daran Norris while Wanda and Timmy's Mom come from Susanne Blakeslee. This adds quite an interesting wrinkle to the show since his fairy godparents often act as replacement parents (for better or worse) to Timmy.
Secondly, I began to notice a pattern with some of the voice actors. A few of them also voice characters in another series that the boys like: Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!
This series, aimed at a younger set, is about the adventures of a yellow being (exactly what he and his friends are isn't clear) named Wubbzy who likes having fun, his friends Walden (who likes reading/studying/science), Widget (who likes building things), Daizy (who likes gardening). All of these characters, except for Widget, share voice actors with Fairly Oddparents characters.
Wubbzy might be fun loving on Wow! Wow! Wubbzy, but on The Fairly OddParents, Grey DeLisle plays Vicky, the babysitter from hell. While Wubbzy would love to play a game of kickety-kick ball, Vicky would love to play a game of kickety-kick Timmy.
Timmy Turner is your average kid with a miserable life (save for his fairy godparents). He likes the usual boy activities such as watching TV, playing video games and reading comic books. His voice actor, Tara Strong, also voices Daizy, the aforementioned gardening lover who also likes rainbows and lollipops. They do seem to share an affinity for pink, however.
Carlos Alazraqui voices Denzel Crocker, Timmy's fairy-obsessed teacher. Mr. Crocker, when a boy, had Timmy's fairy godparents. Since growing up, however, he's become a man obsessed with 1) proving that fairies really exist and 2) using their magic to take over the world. He's deduced that Timmy has fairy godparents and constantly tries to lure them into traps. He's actually been successful a few times, but Timmy always prevails and Mr. Crocker's memory is wiped, though the crazy remains. Meanwhile, over on Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Carlos plays Walden, a well-adjusted figure interested in books, science and art. No sign of craziness at all.
I debated whether or not to share this information with NHL. On one hand, he would surely appreciate the linkages between the two shows. On the other hand, would it spoil the magic of the shows to know that people give voice to these characters? I decided to tell him. As expected, he loved the linkups and was curious what others there might be. Given his recent excitement over seeing the "last" Fairly Oddparents episode (the last one available on Netflix, at least), it hasn't reduced his enjoyment of the show at all.

One of the hardest things in going out with your friends is picking a restaurant that everyone agrees on. Our last outing was at Provencial ATCL Kaslik, a restaurant famous for its international menu and its cozy interior. Most of the place allows shisha but there is a non smoking area.
We always wanted to try the fondue since we are huge fans of cheese and few are the restaurants that serve a "fondue formule".
First we were surprised by the generous salad that came as a beginning. It contained lettuce and cherry tomatoes, topped with walnuts and dry raisins, in a lemon mayo sauce. The ingredients were fresh and the salad was good. It was a healthy start for the upcoming 2000 calories.
Then came the fondue with its accompaniments: potato wedges, nachos and croutons. We loved the idea of offering items we never thought about with the fondue such as the nachos and potato wedges and that were really delicious with the cheese. The fondue itself was extraordinary! The cheese flavor was present and the mixture was condensed and yummy. We were full but we kept eating till the last nacho.
For only 55.000 LBP (22.000 LBP per person) including 2 glasses of wines and the great quality, this combo is a real catch!
We always enjoy our experience at Provencial and their generosity in food. However our only remark is about their slow service.

Q: How are we supplying the concrete object to a prototype-based factory? Loki library provides predefined interfaces for building AbstractFactory pattern. Particularly, I'm interested in prototype-based abstract factory.
Assume that we have a game application which has Abstract Entities:
class Soldier{ };
class Monster{ };
class SuperMonster{ };

and Concrete Entites:
class EasySoldire : public Soldier{ };

class EasyMoster : public Monster{ };

class EasySuperMonster : public SuperMonster{ };

And so forth for Medium and Hard.
Now I want to create Prototype-based easy-level factory.
Here is how it's implemented in Loki (Alexandrescu's Moder C++ Design):
template
<
    class AbstractFact,
    template <class, class> class Creator,
    class TList = typename AbstractFact::ProductList
>
class ConcreteFactory;

template <class ConcreteProduct, class Base>
class PrototypeFactoryUnit : public Base
{
    typedef typename Base::ProductList BaseProductList;
protected;
    typedef typename Base::ProductList TailProductList;
public;
    typedef typename Base::ProductList::Head AbstractProduct;
    PrototypeFactoryUnit(AbstractProduct* p = 0)
   :pPrototype_(p) {}
    friend void DoGetPrototype(const PrototypeFactoryUnit& me,
                                AbstractProduct*& pPrototype)
    {
        pPrototype = me.pPrototype_;
    }

    friend void DoSetPrototype(PrototypeFactoryUnit& me,
                               AbstractProduct* pObj)
    {
        me.pPrototype_=pObj;
    }

    template <class U>
    void GetPrototype(AbstractProduct*& p)
    {
        return DoGetPrototype(*this, p);
    }

    template <class U>
    void SetPrototype(U* pObj)
    {
        DoSetPrototype(*this, pObj);
    }

    AbstractProduct* DoCreate(Type2Type<AbstractProduct>)
    {

       assert(pPrototype_);
       return pPrototype_->Clone();
    }
    private:
    AbstractProduct* pPrototype_;
};

So the ConcreteFactory will look like:
typedef AbstractFactory
<
     TYPELIST_3(Soldier, Monster, SuperMonster)
>
AbstractEnemyFactory;

typedef ConcreteFactory
<
    AbstractEnemyFactory,
    PrototypeFactoryUnit
>
EnemyFactory;

Now my question is how can we define Easy level factory from that conrete factory?

Learning Film Group. Russian Sounds, 2011. Learning Film Group (Nikolai Oleinikov, Sonya Akimova, Pavel Arsenev and Dmitry Vilensky) meet the public to talk about the making of their newest film.
Learning Film Group is a collective of creative workers with a changing membership.
Screenplay, camera, and editing: Sonya Akimova and Max Kulaev (DSPA); Pavel Arsenev, Dina Gatina and Roman Osminkin (Laboratory of Poetic Actionism); Thomas Campbell, Nikolai Oleinikov and Dmitry Vilensky (Chto delat); Oleg Zhuravlev.
This film elaborates cinematic, auditory and narrative devices developed by Jean Luc Godard in his film "British Sounds" (1969) and develops them in relation to the pre-election realities of Russia in 2011. Godard's film appeared at a peak of revolutionary enthusiasm in British political life and became a manifesto of agitational films capable of describing the totality of social change in their dialectical development. How can we critically share in its pathos, inspiration and aesthetics today, in such reactionary times?

The 48th International 500-Mile Sweepstakes was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana on Saturday, May 30, 1964. It was won by A. J. Foyt, but is primarily remembered for a fiery seven-car accident that resulted in the deaths of Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald. It is also the last race won by a front-engined "roadster", as all subsequent races have been won by rear-engined, formula-style cars. It was Foyt's second of four Indy 500 victories.
Jim Clark, who finished second the previous year, won the pole position in the Lotus 34 quad-cam Ford V-8. He took the lead at the start, and led for a total of 14 laps. However, a tire failure caused a broken suspension, and he dropped out on lap 47. Team manager Colin Chapman had chosen special soft-compound Dunlop tires for qualifying, and the rules dictated that the same type of tires be used for the race, where they suffered from a high wear rate. Clark's Lotus teammate Dan Gurney was later pulled from the race after experiencing similar tire wear.
Bobby Marshman led during the early stages of the race, at one point stretching his lead to as much as 90 seconds. During his aggressive charge in front, he became uncharacteristically obsessed with putting A. J. Foyt a lap down. On lap 39, he went too low in turn one, bottoming out the car, and dropped out with a broken transmission oil plug. Parnelli Jones later dropped out after a pit fire. With Marshman, Clark, and Jones all out of the race, A. J. Foyt cruised to victory, leading the final 146 laps.
Race winner Foyt drove the whole 500 miles without changing tires. Goodyear supplied tires for some entries, but participated only in practice. No cars used Goodyear tires during the race itself. Foyt's 1964 winning car remains the only car in the collection of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame and Museum, regularly on display, that has never been restored to pre race condition.
Time trials were scheduled for four days.
Rodger Ward was the first to make headlines, as he set a one-lap record of 157.563 mph (253.573 km/h), and a four-lap average of 156.406 mph (251.711 km/h). Bobby Marshman raised the record to 157.867 mph (254.062 km/h). Jim Clark took pole position with a record-setting run. His second lap set the one-lap track record at 159.337 mph (256.428 km/h), and his four-lap average was a record 158.828 mph (255.609 km/h). Clark became the first foreign-born pole-sitter since 1919. The following weekend, Clark traveled to Europe and won the Dutch Grand Prix.
Dave MacDonald was driving a car owned and designed by Mickey Thompson, the #83 Sears-Allstate Special. It was a rear-engined car that first raced in 1963, updated with a streamlined body for 1964. The car utilized Allstate tires, manufactured by Armstrong Tire and Rubber Co. Due to rule changes by USAC for 1964, the car was required to utilize 15 in (380 mm) tires[clarification needed] (it previously used 12 in (300 mm) ones). The wheels were most notably enclosed in the front and the rear by streamlined bodywork, intended to take advantage of aerodynamic effects to increase top speeds. However, it is believed that the wheel encasements, as well as the bodywork in general, made the car difficult to handle.
The fuel tank was located in the left sidepod of the car, and held approximately 44–45 US gal (37–37 imp gal; 170–170 l) of gasoline. It was a single bladder, in a fiberglass shell supported by the fill neck and a moulded fibreglass body housing and a flat thin magnesium plate beneath the tank, braced by two steel straps hanging from the top rail of the frame. Following the crash, numerous erroneous accounts described the tank as oversized, some claiming it held upwards of 80 US gal (67 imp gal; 300 l). An urban legend circulated that Thompson was boasting plans to drive the entire 500 miles without a pit stop, using an oversized fuel tank, but this has been proven false. The crashworthiness of the car and the fuel cell was brought into question at the time.
During practice, it was discovered immediately that the car's handling was seriously flawed. Masten Gregory complained that aerodynamic lift reduced the steering response. Gregory suffered a crash on May 6, and quit the team due to what he believed was a terribly-handling car.
Dave MacDonald managed to qualify his car without incident. Eddie Johnson qualified the second team car. On Carburetion Day, MacDonald tested the car, with conflicting accounts on whether he ever drove with a full load of fuel. Other drivers in the paddock were known to be concerned about the car, and at least one account claimed that 1963 pole winner and reigning Formula One World Champion Jim Clark advised MacDonald to get out of the car. Another Formula One driver and future Indy 500 winner Graham Hill had actually tested the car at the speedway in 1963 but had refused to drive it because of its bad handling.
On the first lap, MacDonald passed at least five other cars. As he passed Johnny Rutherford and Sachs, Rutherford noticed MacDonald's car was handling poorly, zig-zagging, and throwing grass and dirt up from the edge of the track. Rutherford later said, watching the behavior of MacDonald's car, he thought, "he's either gonna win this thing or crash." Eyewitness accounts and film footage are inconsistent about the exact details of MacDonald's first two laps, but it is generally agreed he was attempting to pass many cars.
On the second lap, MacDonald's car spun coming off turn four, as he was turning down below the groove to pass Jim Hurtubise and Walt Hansgen. The car slid across the track and hit the inside wall, igniting the gasoline in the tank and resulting in a massive fire. His car then slid back across the track, causing seven more cars to be involved. Ronnie Duman crashed, spun in flames and hit the pit lane wall, and was burned. Bobby Unser hit Duman's car from behind, and Johnny Rutherford's car on its left rear tire, and crashed into the outside wall. Chuck Stevenson and Norm Hall also crashed.
Sachs aimed for an opening along the outside wall, but MacDonald's burning car slid into his path. Sachs hit MacDonald's car broadside, causing a second explosion; Sachs died instantly, though to this day it is not known if he died of blunt force trauma or fire-related injuries. Despite Sachs' body being trapped in the burning car, his driver's suit was only scorched and he received burns on his face and hands. The car was covered with a tarp before being towed to the garage area for removal of his body. A lemon that had been on a string around Sachs' neck was found inside Rutherford's engine compartment after the crash.
MacDonald was pulled from the wreckage and taken into the infield hospital. Though very badly burned, he was alive. His lungs were seared from flame inhalation, causing acute pulmonary edema. He died at 13:20 after being taken to Methodist Hospital.
The crash was well documented in film and still images, and shown worldwide. For the first time in its history, the Indianapolis 500 was stopped because of an accident. Partially in response to media pressure, USAC mandated cars carry less fuel (and crafted the rules to effectively eliminate the use of gasoline, effective for the 1965 season). This resulted in a change to alcohol fuels first methanol but a switch to ethanol starting in 2006, although gasoline was partially restored in 2012 with the current E85 formula of 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline. Another response to the crash was the 1965 introduction of the Firestone "RaceSafe" fuel cell, with technology used in military helicopters.
The Sachs/MacDonald crash came just six days after the fiery crash of Fireball Roberts at the World 600. Roberts would succumb on July 2.The sense of gloom within the American racing community was further compounded when, just a week after the tragedy at Indianapolis, popular driver Jim Hurtubise was critically burned at Milwaukee.
The crash deeply disturbed the MacDonald family. Members of MacDonald's family avoided visiting the Speedway. Closure was not met until son Rich MacDonald began researching his father's career, with the DaveMacDonald.net Web domain since 2003 a tribute to his father's accomplishments and a family diary to the modern era, meeting Sachs' son Edward Julius III (known as Eddie Jr) on social media. Curt Cavin, an Indianapolis Star reporter, was able to contact MacDonald first, and shortly afterwards, contacted Sachs. Along with other contacts, most notably Angela Savage, daughter of Swede Savage, killed in the 1973 race, whose first visit to the 500 was celebrated in 2014 and has become an annual visit, the MacDonalds were able to meet at the Speedway again.
At the 2016 Indianapolis 500, Sherry MacDonald, Dave's widow and son Rich MacDonald appeared for race day, and were joined by Eddie Sachs III. The two sons took a photo near the site of the fatal crash, currently where the Sunoco sign is positioned at the pit lane entrance, which since 1974 has become a safety apron and 2000 has been the pit lane exit for the road course.
Beginning in 1964, the time allowed for drivers behind the winner to complete the 200 lap race distance was reduced to "approximately five minutes of extra time", whereas before 1964, several minutes might be granted for the purpose. This five minute time allowance was allowed until 1974, after which all drivers were flagged off the track after the winner crossed the line.
Wikimedia Commons has media related to 1964 Indianapolis 500.
For the first time ever, the race was shown live, flag-to-flag, on closed-circuit television in theater venues across the county. Charlie Brockman served as the anchor. A few minutes of filmed highlights appeared a week later on ABC's "Wide World Of Sports"
The race was carried live on the IMS Radio Network. Sid Collins served as chief announcer. Fred Agabashian served as "driver expert." Lou Palmer conducted the winner's interview in victory lane. The broadcast was carried by a record 558 affiliates in the United States. With the addition of WJAR-AM in Providence, Rhode Island, for the first time, the broadcast was carried by at least one affiliate originating in all 50 states. Previously, listeners in Rhode Island (and elsewhere) may have only been able to hear the broadcast from a signal from a neighboring state. The broadcast featured a 30-minute pre-race.
Bernie Herman departed the crew, and newcomer Chuck Marlowe was stationed at the backstretch location. During the broadcast, a young Donald Davidson visited the booth, and made a brief appearance for an interview. Charlie Brockman left the radio crew permanently in 1964 to take over anchoring the MCA closed-circuit television broadcast. John DeCamp joined the booth to serve as statistician. Other guests in the booth included Pete DePaolo, and Indiana Governor Matthew E. Welsh.
During the live radio broadcast of the race, IMS Radio Network anchor Sid Collins drew critical praise for an impromptu on-air eulogy for Eddie Sachs. During the red flag, track public address announcer Tom Carnegie made the official announcement of the death of Sachs (MacDonald had not yet expired, and his death was not announced until later). The announcement was simulcast on the radio feed.
...Byron said 'who the gods love, die young.' Eddie was 37. To his widow Nance we extend our extreme sympathy and regret. And to his two children. This boy won the pole here in 1961 and 1962 [sic], and was a proud race driver. Well, as we do at Indianapolis and in racing: as the World Champion Jimmy Clark I'm sure would agree, as he's raced all over the world: the race continues. Unfortunately today, without Eddie Sachs. And we'll be restarting it in just a few moments.
Collins received over 30,000 letters requesting a transcript of the eulogy.
