IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY !
Too hot to hold

In this New York Times bestselling thriller, a doctor is kidnapped in the mountain wilderness after a fight with her husband — and as the FBI closes in, she must make dangerous choices to survive.
Dr. Emory Charbonneau, a pediatrician and marathon runner, disappears on a mountain road in North Carolina minutes after an argument with her husband Jeff. But by the time he reports her missing, the trail has (literally) gone cold. Fog and ice encapsulate the wilderness and freeze the search.
While police suspect Jeff of "instant divorce," Emory regains consciousness only to find herself the captive of a man whose violent past is so dark he won't even tell her his name. She's willing to take any risks necessary to survive.
But before she can escape, the two encounter dangerous people who adhere to their own code of justice. A desperate young woman is caught at the center of a dispute, and Emory can't bring herself to look the other way, even if it means breaking the law. Rising tension and barely restrained passion blurs the lines between right and wrong, and Emory begins to wonder if the man with no name is the one who has rescued her from death . . . and from heartbreak.
Combining the nail-biting suspense and potent storytelling that has made Sandra Brown one of the world's best-loved authors, Mean Streak is a wildly compelling novel about love, deceit, and the choices we must make when our lives are on the line.

A few years ago I spent a few days in Milan with my friend Teresa. We had a great time and were lucky enough to stay at a hotel where the owner was very helpful. He obviously had an arrangement with some of the nearby restaurants and sent us off to try them. Milan has a reputation for being expensive but the restaurants we tried were ones that the locals used and were very good value and served lovely regional specialities. My favourite was Risotto con la Zucca – pumpkin Risotto, served with crumbled amaretti biscuit. It was so good and the flavours complemented each other perfectly. Risotto is a popular dish of this region and one of my press trips I travelled through the rice fields by train on my way to Lake Orta.


McKEON of california in the house of representatives Monday, February 25, 2013 Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride and some sadness that I rise to honor Mr. Michael R. Higgins, a Professional Staff Member of the Armed Services Committee, on the eve of his retirement.
For over forty years, Mike has dedicated himself to his country and the Armed Forces. He served in the United States Air Force for twenty years and retired as Lieutenant Colonel. For the next 23 years, it was our great fortune that he chose the Armed Services Committee as the home for his incredible talents.
Mike served 7 HASC chairmen and 8 subcommittee chairmen, helping to steer our committee through war and peace. His sage advice guided members out of the Cold War and through the sporadic conflicts of the 1990s, social changes both large and small, and a tough 11 years of war. For any analyst looking to answer the question, ``How did the all- volunteer military survive those war years?,'' I would urge them to examine the contributions of Mike Higgins.
When the Pentagon struggled to attract quality recruits, Mike helped improve military recruiting and retention programs. When issues arose with outdated military pay and retirement policies, Mike modernized those systems. When the strains of combat brought in Wounded Warriors to rehabilitate, Mike helped guarantee attention to their needs.
Mike encountered an historic array of challenges to the Armed Forces. Some were structural, some were strategic, and some were social. But Mike's consummate professionalism, commitment to the military people that he loved, and perseverance in the face of the toughest political and policy debates helped us meet each issue with wisdom and experience. For that, I am grateful and in his debt.
His legacy is unmistakable. Whenever the military and Congress found themselves at odds, whenever there was a shared obstacle to overcome, and whenever a member of our committee -Republican or Democrat-needed advice or counsel, Mike was there.
Mike Higgins is a giant. He shaped the service of every man and woman of the Armed Forces over the last two decades. Every military retiree, their survivors, and each military family benefited from Mike's commitment to them. Mike will cast a long shadow far beyond his retirement.
His humility is matched only by his intellect, his ability to listen and a fearsome ability to see to the heart of an issue. When oversight is your business, sharp eyes are your sword. And no sword was sharper than that of this modest, unassuming Airman, who served his country with the tenacity of a lion, yet would today be surprised that so much is being made of all that he accomplished. Thank you, Mike.

WBTT makes a change in its 2020-2021 season schedule
June 23, 2020 by Post

SARASOTA, FL – Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe has announced a change to its 2020-2021 season lineup. WBTT has replaced "Broadway in Black" with "The Soul Crooners" to open the season; this decision was made with respect to budgetary and logistical considerations due to the coronavirus. One of Nate Jacobs' most popular original shows, "The Soul Crooners" showcases R&B classics from the 1960s and 70s, including "Reach Out, I'll Be There," "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)," "Love Train" and many more. The last time the Soul Crooners performed was during WBTT's 2019 "Arts in the Ballpark" event, the sold-out '70s Soul Party concert at Ed Smith Stadium.
While WBTT continues to monitor public health recommendations, which may further impact its schedule and live audience capacity, the 2020-2021 season currently includes the following shows: "The Soul Crooners" (Oct. 7-Nov. 22, 2020); "Black Nativity" (Dec. 2-27, 2020); "Ruby" (Jan. 6-Feb. 21, 2021); "Pipeline" (March 3-April 11, 2021); and "Smokey Joe's Café" (April 21-June 6, 2021).
Current subscribers (those who had a subscription to WBTT's shortened 2019-2020 season) will get a priority notice via email when subscriptions to the 2020-2021 season are available. At that time, they will be able to purchase subscriptions or single tickets online; they will have the opportunity to choose their own seats based on their comfort level with social distancing measures. New subscribers and single ticket buyers will be notified via WBTT's patron email list and announcements in local media outlets when tickets are available to the general public for purchase. WBTT is also exploring the possibility of offering virtual performances on demand, for those not yet comfortable with attending live theatre.
For more about WBTT and its 2020-2021 season, go to westcoastblacktheatre.org or call 941-366-1505.

The fabricated steel sculpture by Seymour Ikenson looms ominously overhead ready to frighten anyone with a predilection towards arachnophobia. 'Spider', with its glossy black surface and pointy fangs is easily recognized as the image of an abstracted spider. The five curving legs begin as large flat steel pieces and then extend to the ground by way of metal struts that create an architectural structure. Viewers will also notice the resemblance to the stabiles of Alexander Calder in its scale and use of bolts as both fasteners and visual stimuli.

Anniston is the county seat of Calhoun County in Alabama and is one of two urban centers/principal cities of and included in the Anniston-Oxford Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2010 census, the population of the city was 23,106. According to 2018 Census estimates, the city had a population of 21,569.
Named "The Model City" by Atlanta newspaperman Henry W. Grady for its careful planning in the late 19th century, the city is situated on the slope of Blue Mountain.
Along with Selma, Alabama, it ranks as one of the top cities by most violent crimes in the United States, according to FBI data.
Though the surrounding area was settled much earlier, the mineral resources in the area of Anniston were not exploited until the Civil War. The Confederate States of America then operated an iron furnace near present-day downtown Anniston, until it was finally destroyed by raiding Union cavalry in early 1865. Later, cast iron for sewer systems became the focus of Anniston's industrial output. Cast iron pipe, also called soil pipe, was popular until the advent of plastic pipe in the 1960s.
The Woodstock Iron Company
In 1872, the Woodstock Iron Company, organized by Samuel Noble and Union Gen. Daniel Tyler, rebuilt the furnace on a much larger scale, and started a planned community named Woodstock, soon renamed "Annie's Town" for Annie Scott Tyler, Daniel's daughter and wife of railroad president Alfred L. Tyler. Anniston was chartered as a town in 1873.
Though the roots of the town's economy were in iron, steel, and clay pipe, planners touted it as a health resort, and several hotels began operating. Schools also appeared, including the Noble Institute, a school for girls established in 1886, and the Alabama Presbyterian College for Men, founded in 1905.
There are currently 353 red-hot tax lien listings in Anniston, AL.

Please note that we cannot accept one dollar USD notes, nor any dollar notes bearing the 'small' face of a past USA president. Only the 'large' faced dollar notes are accepted.
Three of the Mozambican banks have branches in Vilanculos: Millennium BIM, Barclays and BCI. Each bank has an ATM, and both Mastercard and Visa cards are accepted by these machines. Long queues may be experienced waiting to use these machines.


If you haven't noticed, I've been even more random and scattered than usual, working on the G-dcast Purim movie, one article that might be as long as a book, and a book that's actually going to be shorter than that article (yes! new book! at least, I think so, which is why I'm mentioning it inside parenthesis inside a post about something else instead of writing it in five-inch-high letters across the main page of my website), and then Jewniverse, the daily email for my day job, which I really should start talking about more than I do -- considering I work on it for 8 hours a day and all.
While writing new stuff, the rest of the world sort of does its own thing. Which is why I only find out weeks later that there's a big old feature on the movie I wrote.
They interviewed the three principals of C Malo Producciones, the company that made the movie, including Gerri del Castillo, the director, as well as Berwin, the producer, and Bruno, who we called the ninja but was officially the assistant director, even though he really was more of a ninja.
which comes from Gerry, who kind of talks like that. And his first language is Spanish (his second is Castillian). He says these things in English that I hear the first time, but take my brain about ten minutes to digest.
And this profile makes me miss him terribly. Here, go read it.

/**
 * SECTION: lowprobe
 * @title: Low-level probing
 * @short_description: low-level prober initialization
 *
 * The low-level probing routines always and directly read information from
 * the selected (see blkid_probe_set_device()) device.
 *
 * The probing routines are grouped together into separate chains. Currently,
 * the library provides superblocks, partitions and topology chains.
 *
 * The probing routines is possible to filter (enable/disable) by type (e.g.
 * fstype "vfat" or partype "gpt") or by usage flags (e.g. BLKID_USAGE_RAID).
 * These filters are per-chain. Note that always when you touch the chain
 * filter the current probing position is reset and probing starts from
 * scratch.  It means that the chain filter should not be modified during
 * probing, for example in loop where you call blkid_do_probe().
 *
 * For more details see the chain specific documentation.
 *
 * The low-level API provides two ways how access to probing results.
 *
 *   1. The NAME=value (tag) interface. This interface is older and returns all data
 *      as strings. This interface is generic for all chains.
 *
 *   2. The binary interfaces. These interfaces return data in the native formats.
 *      The interface is always specific to the probing chain.
 *
 *  Note that the previous probing result (binary or NAME=value) is always
 *  zeroized when a chain probing function is called. For example:
 *
 * <informalexample>
 *   <programlisting>
 *     blkid_probe_enable_partitions(pr, TRUE);
 *     blkid_probe_enable_superblocks(pr, FALSE);
 *
 *     blkid_do_safeprobe(pr);
 *   </programlisting>
 * </informalexample>
 *
 * overwrites the previous probing result for the partitions chain, the superblocks
 * result is not modified.
 */

/**
 * SECTION: lowprobe-tags
 * @title: Low-level tags
 * @short_description: generic NAME=value interface.
 *
 * The probing routines inside the chain are mutually exclusive by default --
 * only few probing routines are marked as "tolerant". The "tolerant" probing
 * routines are used for filesystem which can share the same device with any
 * other filesystem. The blkid_do_safeprobe() checks for the "tolerant" flag.
 *
 * The SUPERBLOCKS chain is enabled by default. The all others chains is
 * necessary to enable by blkid_probe_enable_'CHAINNAME'(). See chains specific
 * documentation.
 *
 * The blkid_do_probe() function returns a result from only one probing
 * routine, and the next call from the next probing routine. It means you need
 * to call the function in loop, for example:
 *
 * <informalexample>
 *   <programlisting>
 *	while((blkid_do_probe(pr) == 0)
 *		... use result ...
 *   </programlisting>
 * </informalexample>
 *
 * The blkid_do_safeprobe() is the same as blkid_do_probe(), but returns only
 * first probing result for every enabled chain. This function checks for
 * ambivalent results (e.g. more "intolerant" filesystems superblocks on the
 * device).
 *
 * The probing result is set of NAME=value pairs (the NAME is always unique).

With the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles set to face off in Super Bowl LII, NBC Sports Group on Monday announced its broadcast team ahead of the network's coverage of the game from Minneapolis. Coverage of Super Bowl LII from U.S. Bank Stadium begins at noon ET Sunday, Feb. 4, at on NBC.
Super Bowl LII marks the network's 19th Super Bowl broadcast, and will feature an award-winning team. Seven-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his record 32nd season as the voice of the NFL's premier primetime package, and 16-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth (analyst), who played in two Super Bowls as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, will be in the booth, with two-time Emmy Award-winning reporter Michele Tafoya on the sideline for television's most-watched show of the year. This marks the 10th Super Bowl assignment for Michaels, and the fourth for both Collinsworth and Tafoya.
Collinsworth announced his first Super Bowl as an analyst for FOX Sports in February 2005, when the Patriots defeated the Eagles, 24-21, at Alltel Stadium.
Dan Patrick will host the Super Bowl LII pre-game show alongside co-host Liam McHugh, who will be joined by NBC "Football Night in America" teammates Tony Dungy, Rodney Harrison, Mike Florio and Chris Simms. Paul Burmeister, Kathryn Tappen and Randy Moss also will appear on the pre-game coverage. Burmeister and Moss will report from the Patriots' and Eagles' hotels, while Tappen will be on location from the NFL Tailgate Party. Motorsports icon and two-time Daytona 500 winning driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. will make his NBC debut as a contributor on the network's pre-game coverage of Super Bowl LII.


Apologies for missing the week of June 24 — the first time I've missed a Tuesday since I started this format in January. I was at a residency at a place called Playa, in the dreamy wilds of south-central Oregon. I was situated next to Summer Lake, a seasonal desert lake fed by snowmelt, 20 miles long by 10 miles wide. The locals say it dries up entirely most summers, but this year it has water. A few of the dancers walked halfway across it. They said it was about a foot deep.
I was busy with three things really: (1) I'd get up in the morning and write songs, (2) I'd go for a run in the nearby Fremont National Forest, finding sections of the 175-mile Fremont Trail, (3) I'd head back to Playa and jump in the pond. Also met some lovely artist fellows and did a lot of thinking. I'm thinking about my residency at Joshua Tree, when I started writing songs in earnest, nine years ago. I'm thinking about controlling the stage as a solo artist. This is relevant for all performance of course, but I'm especially interested in how one person with a guitar can manage the flow of a set and rapport with an audience. I'm thinking about Anaïs Mitchell, who I heard last year and this year at Eaux Claires, who does this as well as anyone I've ever seen.
I'm thinking about swing. I wrote a song at Playa about fiddles, and how I'd like to have one. It's called "Fiddle Song." I'm thinking about Tommy Peoples, who has about the most unique swing-concept I've heard. I'm thinking about the national forests opening back up as the rains come to New Mexico. I'm thinking about another visit to Rio Grande del Norte National Monument this coming weekend. I'm thinking about jumping into the river and saying thanks.

Day-Night Test Match: Prime Ministers of both the countries will grace the historic occasion
If things fall in place, the historic day-night at the Eden Gardens could see the Prime Ministers of the two countries in attendance. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have been invited for the historic Test between the Asian countries. According to reports, invites have been sent by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) to both the Prime Ministers to grace the historic occasion.

Stewart played his provincial rugby in the colours of Western Province and South Western Districts, and appeared in 11 Tests between 1960 and 1965 – which included the unbeaten Grand Slam-winning side of 1960-61 – playing at flyhalf, fullback and centre, and he was also a member of the first Junior Springbok tour to Argentina, in 1959.
After his playing career, Stewart became a great servant of rugby in South Africa. He was a Springbok selector, coach and later the Honorary Life President of his beloved Villager Rugby Club, as well as the founder of the first sevens tournament in SA.
"Through rugby and sport in general, Dave touched the lives of many South Africans, and he had a profound impact on the game in our country," said Mr Alexander.
"The Springbok tour squad of 1960/61 was one of the best sides to leave our shores, beating the four Home Unions before a 0-0 draw with France, and playing in different positions in a few of those Tests, Dave underlined his value and versatility to the side.
"With Doug Hopwood, Lionel Wilson and Doug Holton, he was also the last surviving member of the famous Wynberg Four, who played together for their school and later for the Boks in 1960.
"But his contribution to rugby stretched further than his playing days and Dave ploughed back into the game he loved so much as a coach, selector and administrator. His love for sport also saw him open the first Sportsman's Warehouse a few decades ago.
"Our condolences go out to his wife, Joy, his four children, Caroline, John, Suzie and Ashley, grand-children, family, loved ones and friends. May you find solace in the wonderful memories of Dave during this time of bereavement."

Arsanilzuur (INN) of 4-aminofenylarseenzuur is een organoarsenisch zuur. Het is een wit kristallijn poeder. Het is een derivaat van fenylarseenzuur, met een aminegroep in de positie 4. Het komt voor als een zwitterion, H3N+C6H4AsO3H−.

Synthese
Arsanilzuur wordt gevormd in de condensatiereactie van arseenzuur met aniline. Dit werd voor het eerst beschreven in 1859 door de Franse bioloog Antoine Béchamp. Hij noemde het reactieproduct "Atoxyl":

C6H5NH2 + H3AsO4 -> H2O3AsC6H4NH2 + H2O

Dit is analoog aan de vorming van sulfanilzuur door de reactie van zwavelzuur met aniline.

Toepassingen
Arsanilzuur wordt gebruikt voor de synthese van geneeskundige en diergeneeskundige stoffen. Arsanilzuur zelf, of het natriumzout ervan is op het einde van de 19e en het begin van de 20e eeuw ook gebruikt als geneeskundige stof, meer bepaald voor de behandeling van trypanosomiasis; maar dat wordt niet meer gedaan vanwege de toxiciteit van de stof. Ze is ototoxisch (schadelijk voor het binnenoor) en nefrotoxisch, en kan blindheid veroorzaken. Maar van arsanilzuur zijn minder toxische geneesmiddelen afgeleid waaronder tryparsamide, carbarson en arsfenamine of Salvarsan, ontwikkeld door Nobelprijswinnaar Paul Ehrlich.

In de diergeneeskunde gebruikt men het wel als een antibacteriële stof. Het wordt toegevoegd aan het voeder van varkens en pluimvee. Het bevordert tevens de groei van de dieren. Dit gebruik is onder andere toegestaan in de Verenigde Staten, Canada en China.

If you're a tea lover, never miss sipping a daily dose of oolong tea. Researchers have found that oolong tea has a lot of health benefits to offer to the sippers more than preventing breast cancer.
Oolong tea is a type of Chinese tea which has benefits for heart and brain and also prevents diabetes.
Laboratory tests showed that the Chinese tea, used for centuries for its supposed health benefits, stopped the growth of breast cancer cells and the extract hampered the DNA of the cancer cells, inhibiting the growth and progression of tumors.
Green tea also showed similar promise. However, black and dark tea had little effect on the cells, as per the study.
From our results, oolong tea, much like green tea, plays a role in inhibiting breast cancer cell growth, proliferation and tumor progression, said one of the researchers from St. Louis University in Missouri.
Oolong tea, same as green tea, can induce DNA damage and cleavage, play an inhibitory role in breast cancer cell growth, proliferation and tumorigenesis. It has great potential as a chemopreventive agent against breast cancer, the team added.
Furthermore, researchers analysed the rates of breast cancer and deaths from the disease across China.
Findings, published in the journal Anticancer Research, showed that regions with high oolong tea consumption had generally lower rates of the disease.
The team also found that the incidence of breast cancer in the Fujian province was 35 per cent lower than the national average.
The death rate of high consumers of oolong tea in Fijian was 68 per cent lower than the national average, findings further revealed.
"The lower incidence and mortality in regions with higher oolong tea consumption indicate that the tea has great potential for its anti-cancer properties," said lead author Chunfa Huang, Associate Research Professor at the varsity.
Prevention and early diagnosis was key to improving future health prospects, the study said.
Green tea is the least processed variant of tea. Tea is a beverage made from the processed leaves of Camellia sinensis (Family- Theaceae).
A popular garden herb, mint has earned worldwide fame both in the kitchen as well as health. A tasty garnish and rich in Vitamins this tiny herb has more to offer but we fail to mint it all out of it.

Netherlands Chamber Choir in The Hague: Review
It´s always a pleasure to go to the Nieuwe Kerk in The Hague for a concert. The original 17th century architecture has been beautifully restored and acoustic panels designed by Siemens provide a resonant acoustic ideal for concerts.
Last Sunday´s concert was preceded by a short performance by the Residentie Kamerkoor directed by Jos Vermunt. He chose two excellent pieces, the Vespers on the first three Psalms by Rachmaninov and three pieces by Schnittke. This was a perfect choice of repertoire for this amateur choir : the first pieces were accessible and melodic and easily within reach. The Schnittke pieces were in a challenging musical language, with irregular rhythms and dissonant harmonies and the choir sang them very well. This unexpected bonus was a real pleasure.
Then followed the main concert given by the Nederlands Kamerkoor chamber choir directed by Daniel Reuss. The programme´s first half was made up of the Reincarnations by Barber, O Magnum Mysterium by Morten Lauridsen, the Canción del Alma by Edie Hill and the Agnus Dei, also by Barber. Sometimes when you listen to a concert you feel the repertoire is beyond the performers: in this case my impression was that the performers were beyond the repertoire.
In the Reincarnations the most striking feature was the repetition of the name Anthony, passed from one voice to another, giving effective support to the following lines: After you there is nothing to do! There is nothing but grief!
Morten Lauridsen (b 1943) is a recognized composer, a National Medal of Arts recipient and "the most frequently performed American choral composer in modern history", according to his website. His O magnum mysterium did not hold much mystery for me and neither was there anything very magnum about it, though it was pleasant enough I suppose. After Edie Hill´s Canción del Alma, the first half ended with Barber´s Agnus Dei. This piece has been done to death as a free standing movement for strings; in this performance for voices it is too fast to maintain the power of the instrumental original, and the high notes become irritating rather than moving. I was hoping for more after the interval.
After the interval 8 singers were taken away and a set up of percussion instruments were added. I think we lost out on the deal. I read that David Lang won a Pulitzer Prize for the piece we sat through: The Little Match Girl Passion. Sorry but there was no passion here and his little match girl left me unmoved. There is a really nice musical show called The Matchgirls, composed by British actor Bill Owen and songwriter Tony Russell about the strike of London match factory workers in 1888 which really does have passion and which is worth performing many times: I know because I was involved in a production with school students in 1980 something. Sorry, but Mr Lang´s piece does not match up, if you forgive the expression.
We lost 8 expert singers and were dumped with a set of percussion instruments which the remaining singers had to juggle with as well as singing their parts. Why do some composers think they can tell non percussionists to bash around on percussion instruments and hope we will all have a good time? How would the singers feel if next time they found a bunch of percussion specialists doing their best to sing along while they played their percussion parts or if brass players were given extra notes to play on a random selection of woodwind instruments? I am not saying the singers did not perform at their best with the percussion instruments, just that I think the audience came off worst in the trade off between the 8 lost singers and the added percussion.
This concert was billed as In Amerikaanse Kringen: it´s hard to imagine that what we heard was the most inspiring or imaginative output of contemporary or recent American composers.
So, a pleasant enough afternoon, as always, at the Nieuwe Kerk. Next time I hope the repertoire will be more interesting.

Better think twice before using the car: the world's most crowded highways
Some countries have too much traffic, thus making mobility a nightmare and raising the levels of contamination.
Miquel Silvestre is clear about it: India is where he's suffered the worst. This itinerant writer, who wanders the earth atop a powerful motorcycle, doesn't hesitate to name this Asian country when he's asked about the world's most complicated place. "Traffic around the world is chaotic, and that's normal. But in India it's exaggerated, incredible," he says. And he gives several reasons: motorcyclists who don't wear protective helmets, excessive speed, no respect for any kind of direction on the road, getting along with any kind of living being, and cramming as many as 11 people into a car. "I've seen cars with mattresses or sheep on the seats," he says with surprise.
Anyone who has traveled in India would agree with Silvestre, who was born in Denia (Spain) in 1968. And will wonder how people there can support this on a daily basis, not just from time to time. "I've asked people why they drive that way and they say it's out of necessity. Either you coexist with those customs or you risk your life. You have to ride around obstacles, animals… Ignoring the rules of the road is essential for surviving," adds this professional motorcyclist, who has dodged camels in Somalia or paid a 600-euro fine for exceeding the speed limit by 10 kilometers an hour. "It was in Switzerland, and I was going at 60 on a road where the limit was 50."
Because traveling is not just riding through new landscapes or discovering new customs. It also means fighting the local traffic. And discovering that travel in other countries can be a real hell. And not just in India, where this is the general impression. There are other places, with incredible numbers of cars on their roads. One of them is the United Arab Emirates. According to a report published on the digital website Confused.com, it is the world leader in traffic jams. This confederation located on the Persian Gulf, with 10 million inhabitants, has 2.5 million registered vehicles and 4,080 kilometers of roads. In other words, in each kilometer 553 cars can be concentrated.
After the United Arab Emirates, and again according to the report from that website, are Hong Kong, with 821,933 automobiles and 2,107 kilometers of asphalt, and Singapore, with 672,800 and 3,500. Respectively, 390 and 192 cars per kilometer. Just off the podium are Turkey, with 173 cars for each kilometer; Bulgaria (171) and South Korea (160). There are many Asian and Middle Eastern countries on the list, although in between are European countries like the Czech Republic and the UK. To find Spain, we have to go down the list to the 36th position: 22.6 million vehicles moving along 683,175 kilometers of roads. This means 33 cars for each kilometer, a number far smaller than those countries mentioned, but ahead of China, France, Ireland, Canada and Brazil.
In addition to movement, there is the problem of contamination. Although they don't relate proportionally, they are still connected. Egypt is the country with the highest levels of air pollution. At the opposite end, Norway, and the UK, which, while it is among the leading polluters, doesn't generate as many emissions (eight micrograms per cubic meter of air, or 90% less than Egypt). This may be due to the UK's greater number of electric cars or its greater measures to cut down on pollution.
The problem of traffic and traffic jams is related to these numbers of automobiles and kilometers, but also with other aspects. Depending on the place, driving is often used because of a lack of public transport or just because that's the way society works. María Pilar Parra Contreras, a professor of sociology at Madrid's Complutense University, sees a connection between the identity of a society and the way it moves around. "In Western societies, the car has become the most common way of traveling, ahead of other ways like walking, cycling or riding a train, " she says. Having a car can also represent having reached a certain lifestyle. For that reason, the preference for cars doesn't have to do with just their usefulness. The relationship we establish with the car is not the one we have with a machine that serves us, but represents something much greater."
"Advertising has made the automobile into an archetype of blessings, among them freedom, autonomy, speed and beauty, while at the same time minimizing other experiences like traffic jams, expenses and investments in infrastructures, parking problems, noise, air pollution, and even traffic accidents," she adds, while at the same time pointing out that the progress associated with cars also brings accidents: "We've developed a very high level of tolerance and resignation with regard to everything about traffic. In this context, traffic accidents are considered as just collateral damage from a model of mobility that, while it is not unique, is largely irreversible."
And if we consult the data, it seems certain: according to the latest United Nations studies on road safety, traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of death in the world, ahead of HIV Aids and suicides.
While traffic accidents have been reduced year after year –especially during the pandemic, which was not a representative period– an effort must be made to improve infrastructures, provide greater driver education, and make sure the law is enforced to reduce accidents. Other solutions include using collective public transport or changing the model of society to make it more respectful of the environment, and without the need to spend hours in a traffic jam.
Let's return to the case of India, where drivers must dodge goats, continually blow the car's horn and pass other vehicles via a non-existent lane. Even Navin Piplani, director of the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), often describes the situation this way: "It's chaotic, there's no control. You can go in any direction and in any place. We say God regulates our country because nobody else does. People who use a car don't even have a driving license. And the police don't do anything or they fine you, but you use that piece of paper as a passport to avoid other fines." He adds that for him and his family driving is always "the last option," and doesn't even appear on the list of the first 50 choices. A paradox that, even so, gives us some clues: avoid those countries with the greatest number of vehicles per kilometer, but also the ones where driving is a menace.

Q: Oracle SQL Script - Why spool creates file twice I run the following SQL-script using Oracle SQL Developer. I don't know why it creates two spool file and it also displays the entire operations in the Oracle SQL Developer console which it should not. Maybe it is due to the SET FEEDBACK ON and SET FEEDBACK OFF for each delete statement.
It creates two files and displays everything in script-output only when there are some records for deletion.
The script's call
@"C:\RM.sql"

The script
SET PAGES 0
SET LINESIZE 10000
SET TRIMS ON
SET ECHO OFF
SET HEADING ON
SET VERIFY OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET TERMOUT OFF
SET SERVEROUTPUT on size 1000000
SET TIMING OFF
SET COLSEP '|'

alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi:ss';

whenever oserror exit -1
whenever sqlerror exit -2

-- The current timestamps into 'times' variable
column times new_value times noprint
select to_char(sysdate, 'YYYYMMDD_HH24MISS') times from DUAL;

-- variables definition
define output_file="C:\temp\filename_&times..log"

-- echo some text to the standard output
SET TERMOUT ON
PROMPT
PROMPT "The script counts and reports the records to be deleted..."
PROMPT
SET TERMOUT OFF

-- write the results to the 'output_file' file
spool &output_file

PROMPT "BEGIN------------------------------"
PROMPT "delete from the_table1"
select 'Total records BEFORE delete: ' || count (*) as count_records from the_table1;

PROMPT
PROMPT

EXIT
;

A: I seem to recall TERMOUT and ECHO options depend on how sqlplus is being run and can give different results, similar to what you are seeing.
I'm using sqlplus as a example of how interactions with the run environment can affect output. This isn't really an answer, and I cannot reproduce the scenarios I used to see often, but I hope the following perhaps will offer some pointers as to what might be encountered.
Start with a simple test script test_off.sql:
set echo off
set termout off

prompt text1

spool f1.txt
prompt text2
spool off
prompt text 3
quit

Now let's run it a number of different ways:
1 Non-interactively Parameterised
$ sqlplus -S un/pw@idb @test_off.sql

$ cat f1.txt
text2

No output to screen, spool file created, with only the spooled contents.
2. Interactively
$ sqlplus -S un/pw/@db
@test_off.sql
$ cat f1.txt
text2

No output to screen, spool file created, with only the spooled contents.
3. Run as piped feed
$ cat test_off.sql | sqlplus -S un/pw@db
text1
text2
text 3

Here we see all the PROMPT command results on screen.
Similar effects may be seen if run within a HEREDOC block.
I've definitely seen (in older versions) some strange inconsistencies and perhaps your SQL Developer is similarly afflicted.

There's a certain amount of nostalgia attached to a little Christmas village like this one. We love the way these handmade houses, inspired by our holiday visual display at the market, make a whimsical addition to Christmas decor. They remind us of gingerbread houses—except you don't have to throw them away after the holidays! This craft is great for older kids, and even the littlest family members can help with the decorating. Year after year, you can even continue to add houses to your Christmas village, turning this activity into a Christmas tradition.
1 . For this craft, there are three sizes of houses to add some variation into your Christmas village. Print templates on 8 ½ x 11 paper (each template linked below) and cut each one out individually.
2. Be sure to keep each house's templates together to ensure they don't get mismatched.
3. Trace templates side by side on cardboard, being sure to trace each of your three pieces twice. We labeled ours to ensure all same-size house pieces stayed together.
4. Cut each piece with scissors or an x-acto knife. If using an x-acto knife, use a ruler to help keep your cut lines straight. Take multiple passes through the cardboard with the blade until it is completely cut through, being careful not to cut yourself.
5. Once all of your cardboard pieces are cut out, roll out your brown paper, or set out pieces of colored construction paper. Glue one side of each cardboard piece and place them on the paper, glue side facing down. Leave 2-3 inches of space around each piece.
6. With a sharp pair of scissors cut directly down the middle of each piece into squares. Do not cut directly on the edge of the cardboard. Reference the photo below to see how they should look when you finish cutting.
Note: For each size house, you should have 6 pieces cut out like this.
7. Line the edges of each cardboard piece with hot glue and tightly fold paper over and glue it down. It's ok if the cardboard is not completely covered on the back side, as it will be facing the inside of the house when all pieces are glued together.
8. This is what your pieces will look like once they are wrapped in paper. Make sure the glue dries completely before moving on to the next step.
9. As we go into this next step, continue referencing the original template to remind yourself which piece is which. Line the outer edge of one piece with hot glue and press together with adjoining piece for 5-10 seconds until they are secure. Do this one piece at a time, until your 3D house structure is assembled. Make sure your house is sturdy and the glue is dry before moving on to decorating.
When beginning to decorate, remember that each step is optional and feel free to keep yours simple or really dress it up!
Note: If you choose to paint your houses, we recommend using acrylic paint, which you can find in small tubes at your local craft store.
1. Paint your houses using a small paintbrush and allow it to dry completely before adding any more decorations. We chose not to paint our small house, but we added a few other elements in the steps below. Scroll to the bottom for a few photos of painted and decorated houses from our holiday display at the Market to inspire your own!
1. First, use scissors to trim off any rounded ends on your coffee stirrers. Then, measure each corner of the house using your stirrer and mark your cut line with a pencil.
2. Hot glue each trim piece into place. Repeat process around the perimeter of the house. For more decorative trim ideas, scroll to the bottom to check out the photos from the Market's Christmas village.
1. Cut off both rounded ends of a popsicle stick. Each end piece should be about ½ inch long. Note: If the sticks are breaking when you're cutting them with scissors, use wire cutters instead.
2. Starting at the bottom of one side of the roof, hot glue the pieces of popsicle stick one at a time. When placing them, make sure they are glued right next to each other, leaving no space in between each one.
3. Layer each row slightly on top of the previous row until one side of the roof is completely covered. Repeat steps for second side.
A few more ideas to decorate your village would be to paint on windows using gray paint and use your coffee stirrers to "trim" around them. Additionally, you could cut your windows out completely and add a battery-powered tea light inside to give the effect of a soft glow inside the house. Lastly, add a chimney by wrapping a travel-sized toothpaste box in brown paper, trimming the bottom at a diagonal, and hot gluing it to the roof.
On a mantel, side table, or even under the Christmas tree are perfect places to set up your village of houses. To add even more to your village, incorporate bottle brush trees, pieces of garland, string lights or even faux snow. You could also use fresh trimmings from your own tree or snippets from a tree lot.
If you make your own houses, be sure to tag @magnolia on Instagram so we can see how your Christmas village came together!
We moved from a Big City (Minneapolis) to a small city in northern Minnesota, and live in a small house on a lake. The Christmas village is the perfect decor for this setting; the fancy city stuff felt out of place. This was also the perfect craft to with my granddaughter when she and a couple friends came up for the weekend. Thank you.
I love this idea!! I know what I'm doing tomorrow! I would love to make them into gift boxes though! Wouldn't that be cute?!
These are adorable! A craft I can do even in the Fall in preparation for the Holiday season. Thanks for sharing!

The Poor Mouth relates the story of one Bonaparte O'Coonassa, born in a cabin in a fictitious village called Corkadoragha in western Ireland equally renowned for its beauty and the abject poverty of its residents. Potatoes constitute the basis of his family's daily fare, and they share both bed and board with the sheep and pigs. A scathing satire on the Irish, this work brought down on the author's head the full wrath of those who saw themselves as the custodians of Irish language and tradition when it was first published in Gaelic in 1941.
