CAMACHO, CRUZ TAKE OFFICE ON GUAM
By Steve Limtiaco
HAGATNA, Guam (Pacific Daily News, Jan. 2) РThe decisions made in the coming years will determine what happens to future generations of Guam residents, Gov. Felix Camacho and Lt. Gov. Mike Cruz said yesterday afternoon after they took the oath of office during their inauguration ceremony in Hag̴ṯa.
Their four-year term comes as the U.S. military is preparing for unprecedented expansion and spending here, including the transfer of 8,000 marines and their families from Okinawa, and $15 billion in military projects during the next 10 years. Military construction projects related to the transfer are scheduled to begin about halfway through Camacho's term, and the first major transfer of Marines is expected in the middle of the next governor's term.
Camacho and Cruz spoke at length about the economic and social impact of the military expansion, and the need to shape what happens here to the greatest benefit of Guam's residents while retaining their values and principles.
"We must work together in the spirit of cooperation to make sure the military changes are positive and our future remains bright," Camacho said.
"Our goal is to create an economy and a balanced growth that truly meets the aspirations, needs and the dreams of the people of Guam," Cruz said.
Hundreds of residents, friends, family and dignitaries attended the inauguration at the Plaza de España, where Cruz, then Camacho took the oath of office in the plaza's kiosk, which was draped in red, white and blue cloth.
Superior Court of Guam Presiding Judge Alberto Lamorena administered the oath to Cruz at about 3:30 p.m. and Supreme Court of Guam Chief Justice F. Philip Carbullido administered the oath to Camacho about 15 minutes later.
There was an occasional light shower, and guests gathered beneath large canopies, where they watched on several large flat-screen televisions as the governor and lieutenant governor were sworn-in and gave their inaugural speeches.
Flower leis and inaugural booklets were passed out, as well as lapel pins with the governor's seal.
Camacho during his inaugural speech thanked former Lt. Gov. Kaleo Moylan, who attended the event with his wife, Julie. Moylan ran against Camacho and lost in the Sept. 2 Republican Primary Election. "This gentleman will always have my respect," Camacho said.
The governor became emotional, almost to the point of tears, as he thanked family and friends for their support, then he talked about his first gubernatorial inauguration four years ago, which was held by candlelight because of an ongoing typhoon recovery.
"The goals we set together and the countless hours of hard work we all put in have brought positive changes that many thought we could not achieve," he said, adding that Guam is now in a "season of transformation," with the potential for tremendous economic expansion.
"Even greater than the opportunity is the responsibility to ensure that our stewardship of resources entrusted to us today endures for generations to come. We are here for but a short time, for a season, if you will," Camacho said. "What we do with this time must be guided by a vision that far outlasts our mandate."
Camacho said Guam will give its children the skills they need to have better lives, higher-paying jobs and careers.
"We will transform our economy so investors come to our shores, not simply because of our strategic location and opportunities, but because of our people and their special gifts," he said.
Cruz said during the next four years he and Camacho will build on the progress that already has been made.
There are many challenges and obstacles, Cruz said, "But none of them are bigger or larger than our will to overcome them and to see them through."

Q: My plain text email body uses environment.newline for 'new paragraph' but the email body is all crammed onto one line After I started sending emails with Amazon SES, the "status" messages that my system sends don't look as nice as before.
Since then, the body of the email is crammed together on one line. Previously, the text was separated into nice little paragraphs for easy reading.
Example:

Hello, you have a status message from the zzz server today:
The server is not down.
Action required: Get a coffee

And now:

Hello, you have a status message from the zzz server today:The server is not down.Action required: Get a coffee

My system generates plain text for the body, using Visual Studio's Environment.Newline method to specify a new paragraph. (I believe this is equivalent to vbcrlf) Previously, using good old SMTPClient, that was generating email bodies the way I wanted.
How have I tried to get a solution?
One solution I have thought of would be to carefully encode each of these "status" messages in pure HTML. If necessary, I guess I will do that work, but it would involve a large amount of coding to ensure that all email bodies were pure html. I would rather find a simpler solution.
I see information on MimeKit.Text.Converter, and I am willing to invest time into using that, but this converter refers only to converting Flowed text, and I have had trouble discovering what that means.
If anyone can show me a simple way to convert a plain text email body into a basic html body, it would really make my day!

A small but insightful exhibition is currently on at the Singapore Botanic Gardens called "ONE MIND, TWO THEORIES" referring to the great merging of thought between Charles Darwin and his lesser known contemporary Alfred Russell Wallace.
2009 is a year of some very meaningful anniversaries. It's been 150 years since the publication of Charles Darwin's revolutionary book, "The Origin of Species" It's also his 200th bicentennial year. And it's the Singapore Botanic Gardens' 150th year of existence, so the exhibition ties in quite neatly.
Darwin, a well off scholar from Cambridge, came to his conclusions about the biodiversity of nature and its evolutionary reasons, based mostly on his research in the Galapagos islands.
Russell's background was humbler, and his work was largely drawn from his travels in the Malay archipelago including our very own Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in Singapore. He was astounded by the variety of beetles on the hill and found that the number of plant and animal species on a small patch of primary rainforest exceeded that of the entire North American continent.
Darwin was the first to come up with the theory of evolution of species by natural selection but he dragged his feet to get his theory in print, probably fearful of the consequences of what would be considered at the time a heretical theory.
Needless to say, it came as a huge shock to Darwin when Wallace wrote to him about the evolutionary theories that the latter had arrived at independently. But the gentleman than Darwin was, he stayed true to the scientific code of conduct. Darwin jointly published a paper with Wallace entitled "On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties" which was presented to the Linnean Society in 1858, which unfortunately for Wallace, nobody really noticed.
Darwin published "The Origin of Species" a year later in 1859, and the rest, needless to say is history.
I wonder what Wallace would have to say if he were to travel through the Malay archipelago 150 years later. How would he react to the rampant destruction of the rich and teeming rainforests that captured his imagination? How would he react to the rapid disappearance of the multitude of species that he studied with wonder and delight? I wish both Darwin and Wallace were alive to offer perhaps an explanation of why the human mind has evolved to allow all this to happen.
The free exhibition is on from 1st August to 31st August 2009 at the Library of Botany and Horticulture, Botany Centre at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Tag Archives: American slavery research
December 24, 2019 by OUR COMMON GROUND
When the new york times magazine published its 1619 Project in August, people lined up on the street in New York City to get copies. Since then, the project—a historical analysis of how slavery shaped American political, social, and economic institutions—has spawned a podcast, a high-school curriculum, and an upcoming book. For Nikole Hannah-Jones, the reporter who conceived of the project, the response has been deeply gratifying.
"They had not seen this type of demand for a print product of The New York Times, they said, since 2008, when people wanted copies of Obama's historic presidency edition," Hannah-Jones told me. "I know when I talk to people, they have said that they feel like they are understanding the architecture of their country in a way that they had not."
U.S. history is often taught and popularly understood through the eyes of its great men, who are seen as either heroic or tragic figures in a global struggle for human freedom. The 1619 Project, named for the date of the first arrival of Africans on American soil, sought to place "the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative." Viewed from the perspective of those historically denied the rights enumerated in America's founding documents, the story of the country's great men necessarily looks very different.
The reaction to the project was not universally enthusiastic. Several weeks ago, the Princeton historian Sean Wilentz, who had criticized the 1619 Project's "cynicism" in a lecture in November, began quietly circulating a letter objecting to the project, and some of Hannah-Jones's work in particular. The letter acquired four signatories—James McPherson, Gordon Wood, Victoria Bynum, and James Oakes, all leading scholars in their field. They sent their letter to three top Times editors and the publisher, A. G. Sulzberger, on December 4. A version of that letter was published on Friday, along with a detailed rebuttal from Jake Silverstein, the editor of the Times Magazine.
The letter sent to the Times says, "We applaud all efforts to address the foundational centrality of slavery and racism to our history," but then veers into harsh criticism of the 1619 Project. The letter refers to "matters of verifiable fact" that "cannot be described as interpretation or 'framing'" and says the project reflected "a displacement of historical understanding by ideology." Wilentz and his fellow signatories didn't just dispute the Times Magazine's interpretation of past events, but demanded corrections.
In the age of social-media invective, a strongly worded letter might not seem particularly significant. But given the stature of the historians involved, the letter is a serious challenge to the credibility of the 1619 Project, which has drawn its share not just of admirers but also critics.
Nevertheless, some historians who declined to sign the letter wondered whether the letter was intended less to resolve factual disputes than to discredit laymen who had challenged an interpretation of American national identity that is cherished by liberals and conservatives alike.
"I think had any of the scholars who signed the letter contacted me or contacted the Times with concerns [before sending the letter], we would've taken those concerns very seriously," Hannah-Jones said. "And instead there was kind of a campaign to kind of get people to sign on to a letter that was attempting really to discredit the entire project without having had a conversation."

How Slavery Inspired Modern Business Management | Boston Review
November 10, 2019 by OUR COMMON GROUND
The parallels between present-day business management practices and slavery have been persistently neglected in mainstream discussions about the history of U.S. enterprise.
The most striking parallel between slavery and scientific management can be found in the "task idea," which Taylor described as "the most prominent single element in modern scientific management." The task system is closely identified with Henry Laurence Gantt, who is well known today for the Gantt chart, a scheduling tool, which still bears his name. During the heyday of scientific management, Gantt developed a "task and bonus system," which paired a flat task and a time wage with bonuses for overwork. Workers would be paid a base wage plus an additional piece rate for production above a certain minimum. By combining an achievable (rather than a maximal) task with bonuses, workers would enjoy the security of a minimum payment but also be encouraged to strive beyond it.
Economic growth can accompany choice, but it can also build on violence and injustice.
Yet while they introduced some novel details, neither Gantt nor Taylor created the task system. It has a much longer history and was one of the principal methods of organizing labor under slavery. Under the task system, an enslaved person would be assigned a set "task" or quota that he or she was expected to complete by the end of the day; this was in contrast to the gang system, where enslaved people labored under constant supervision for a set period of time. In some cases, slavers who used the task system even gave monetary bonuses for achievement above set targets. They "dangled the carrot" in a way that resembles not just Gantt's methods but those of the gig economy today. Indeed, except for the base payment and the critically important ability for workers to quit, Gantt's new system was in nearly every respect the same as the system used by some slaveholders, a fact that Gantt made no attempt to hide. Rather, he acknowledged that the word "task" was "disliked by many men" because of its connection to slavery, and he regarded this negative connotation as its "principal disadvantage."
This is less surprising considering Gantt's roots in the South. Born on the eve of the Civil War to a slaveholder in Maryland, Gantt's father, Virgil Gantt, owned more than sixty men, women, and children. As Gantt wrote, "The term 'task master' is an old one in our language; it symbolizes the time, now happily passing away, when men were compelled to work, not for their own interests, but for those of some one else." Gantt's goal was not to abolish this old system but to adapt it to modern needs. As he explained, "The general policy of the past has been to drive, but the era of force must give way to that of knowledge, and the policy of the future will be to teach and to lead, to the advantage of all concerned."
In a sense, scientific management replicated slavery's extractive techniques while jettisoning the institution itself. Gantt's rhetoric was not necessarily of distance but of progress; he purportedly liked to say that "scientific management marked a great step forward from slave labor." James Mapes Dodge, a Philadelphia manufacturer and early supporter of Taylor, explained in 1913 that "we cannot tell who first liberated the germ idea of Scientific Management, as it was born to the world in the first cry of anguish that escaped the lips of the lashed slave." Dodge's reference was metaphorical, to a vague and distant past where slavery prevailed, not to the slave South. But he understood that "the present generation" had inherited "from the past the relationship of master and slave" and saw it as the job of scientific management to move beyond it.

'Where was the Lord?': On Jefferson Davis' birthday, 9 slave testimonies
June 4, 2019 by OUR COMMON GROUND
The voices of five men and four women, once held in human bondage, interviewed in Alabama in 1937.Brian Lyman, Montgomery Advertiser
Where was the Lord? Four slave testimonies
Stories from U.S. slaves Delia Garlic, William Colbert, Laura Clark and George Young, narrated by Dr. Wendy R. Coleman of Alabama State University.
MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER
"Today the state of Alabama marks the birthday of Jefferson Davis, who served as president of the Confederate States of America from 1861 to 1865. A state holiday, state offices are closed throughout Alabama. Davis, who at one point owned more than 100 slaves, led a government resting on the principle of white supremacy. The Confederate Constitution contained a provision explicitly prohibiting any law "impairing the right of property in negro slaves," and his vice president, Alexander Stephens, said the "cornerstone" of the new government "rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition."
Davis was a racist. In a speech to the U.S. Senate in 1860, the then-senator from Mississippi said slavery was "a form of civil government for those who by their nature are not fit to govern themselves," adding "We recognize the fact of the inferiority stamped upon that race by the Creator, and from cradle to grave, our government, as a civil institution, marks that inferiority." After his inauguration as president of the Confederacy, Davis said "We recognized the negro as God and God's Book and God's laws, in nature, tell us to recognize him. Our inferior, fitted expressly for servitude."
"From 1936 to 1938, the Works Progress Administration, a New Deal agency, sent workers throughout the South to collect oral histories from survivors of slavery, eventually conducting more than 2,000 interviews, including at least 129 in Alabama. The workers were not necessarily trained interviewers, and scholars have noted that the race of the interviewer often had a major effect on the answers the former slaves gave. But the testimonies preserve the voices of those who experienced a hell that Davis and other white southerners were willing to destroy the country to protect.
Below, the testimonies of nine African Americans held in human bondage, all interviewed in Alabama in 1937. The transcripts have been edited for length and clarity."

Africatown USA Trailer on Vimeo
"This amazing story tells the events of these men, women and children, who were kidnapped from their native land in West Africa, enslaved in Ouidah, a coastal town in the Kingdom of Dahomey, the current day coastal country of Benin, and brought to America on what is believed to be the last slave ship, the Clotilda. Through their resilience, they not only survived the horrific Middle Passage, but the American Civil War, the reconstruction of Alabama, and the Jim Crow period, but they also fought to preserve their African memories, culture, and community over the generations. "For out of the bowels of slave ships they rose, and their descendants are, in the powerful words of Langston Hughes: Still Here."After the Emancipation Proclamation, the newly freed Africans tried, but failed to return to their beloved homeland Africa. The story describes the group reuniting from various plantations, alongside American-born, formerly enslaved men, women and children. The Africans bought land and founded their own settlement, which came to be known as Africatown.The Founders appointed tribal leaders and governed Africatown according to customary African laws, spoke their own regional language, kept their own customs, used African irrigation and gardening techniques, and built their own social structures. The people of Africatown formed their own self-sufficient world.Marine archaeologists and researchers from Search, Inc. have confirmed the location of the schooner Clotilda-the last known ship to bring enslaved Africans from Benin, West Africa into the Mobile Bay. The search team discovered the schooner in a remote area of Alabama's Mobile River."

Research by Black Female Professor Reveals Startling Truth That White Women Made Up 40% of Slaveowners
May 25, 2019 by OUR COMMON GROUND
A set of data uncovered by University of California-Berkeley professor reveals southern white women played a heavier role in the enslavement of Africans than previously thought.
"For them, slavery was their freedom," Jones-Rogers states in her book.After Martha Washington married President George Washington in Virginia in 1759, George is said to have possibly owned around 18 people. But his wife, one of the richest women in the state, owned 84 and dramatically increased the local slave population.Arguing that white women are trained to be engaged in the slavery industry at a young age, Jones-Rogers stated, "their exposure to the slave market is not something that begins in adulthood—it begins in their homes when they're little girls, sometimes infants, when they're given enslaved people as gifts."
Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers,
an associate professor of history at the university, combed through data from the 1850 and 1860 census and revealed that white women made up around 40% of slaveowners.

Photos of two beaming faces, framed in locks of blonde hair, hang on the wall behind Jessica Weidknecht, as the mother of the two little girls recalls the day her life changed. She remembers waiting for the phone call, suspecting something was wrong, but never expecting the message that came.
But it does happen to young women, prompting Sky Ridge Medical Center to build a program targeting this group and their unique needs. Weidknecht, who says initially "your world starts falling apart" after such a diagnosis, says the program helped her put the pieces back together.
"I must have had 30 calls those first few days, and I mean that in a good way," Weidknecht says. "From Invision Sally Jobe to the gynecologist, the communication between everyone was unbelievable." The list of experts involved in breast-cancer treatment can be overwhelming, from radiologists to oncologists and geneticists to surgeons, but the Sky Ridge Breast Center works for women to make sure nothing important is missed as they move toward recovery.
"I could call [The Sky Ridge Breast Navigator] for anything. And she'd do it right away," Weidknecht says, adding that it soon became obvious that providers were giving the family time to cope with emotions as they directed the detailed work.
Sky Ridge helps the entire family deal with the emotions, partnering with Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers (RMCC), which offers many support services and groups. It also provides genetic counseling, which Sky Ridge encourages, particularly for young patients who are more likely to have the breast cancer gene (BRCA). Weidknecht tested negative, but was glad Sky Ridge recommended the test. "It was a relief to me, because I'm a very anxious person." Not only does it reduce Weidknecht's chance of other cancers; it reduces her daughters' risk.


Fall is in the air and we are waking up to chillier and chillier temperatures each day. But, too many people, this is the perfect time to decorate, design, and change up the decor in the house. If you're looking to add some holiday and fall bling it to your home, use these seven is simple ways to refresh your home.
Right after Halloween, right after Thanksgiving, and right after Christmas are the best times to buy these holiday decorations. There typically 50% or more off normal price, just don't forget to use them next year. Finding clearance items is a great way to restock and a refresher holiday decorations without breaking the bank and you might find some that can be carried over to the next holiday.
#2. Go with bold colors.
Bold colors are big for fall. Deep reds, oranges, burgundy's, and even rich browns can add a warm and inviting color to your house. I'm not saying you have to replace all the furniture, but sometimes throw pillows the complement the color of your furniture can bring in a fall look without breaking the bank.
Arches are seeing a major come back in contemporary architecture and it creates a warm and inviting look leading people from one room to the other. It also adds a bit of the exotic feel which can work any time of the year.
Adding of bold floral pattern in the fall when florals are usually reserved for spring can add a unique and creative look to the house. It's a beautiful trend so look for big designs that have a pre-Rafael style on cushions, beddings, and photos.
Persian rugs are making a comeback and you can find design styles that lean toward the eclectic, contemporary, and traditional design. Although Persian rugs have never really been the ideal decoration for most homes, you can find overdyed versions that actually create a new modern look.
Vintage furniture, art, and home accessories with large abstract portraits are actually increasing in demands. It's a little bit of the Picasso thing down to scale.
Built-in seating gives a sense of community, family, and bonding. Seats that are to spread out create a cold and distant feel. It might be time to push all your furniture closer to the center of the room to allow for better conversations and a more intimate gathering.
These are great ways to refresh your home with simple ideas. However, if you're planning on selling your home this fall, these are some great ways to stage and design for today's buyers. If you have specific questions on your home or would like ideas and suggestions to stage your Collin County property give me a call today.

Neu-Montfort Castle Ruins
Neu-Montfort was a medieval hilltop castle in Götzis built between 1311-1319 by the Count of Montfort. 50 years later they sold their rule to the Habsburgs, who were able to acquire in 1363 the first piece of Vorarlberg. Neu-Montfort is one of the few castles that were not destroyed by the Appenzell Wars (1405-1408). The decline began in 1693 when the last resident Ulrich Koch died.

Possibly built on the foundations of a Roman castrum fortress, the Moosham castle was first documented in a 1191 deed. It was seized by the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg about 1285 and from the 14th century onwards served as the residence of an episcopal burgrave.

Bernstein Castle was first mentioned in the 13th century. In 860 the whole region was part of the archbishopric of Salzburg. The village name Rettenbach was not mentioned yet, but the old Slavic name of the nearby hamlet Grodnau is a sign of the existence of a nearby castle, identifiable with castle Bernstein. Since 1199 the castle was part of Hungary. It is not exactly known when the castle was handed over to Frederick ...

Finstergrün Castle
Burg Finstergrün consists of two castles. The old castle, today in ruins, dates probably from the 12th century. The new castle, built around the old castle was completed in 1908. However, it looks very similar to a historical castle because it was built in the style of the 13th century. Today Finstergrün is a youth hostel.

The Arch of Constantine is situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312. Dedicated in 315, it is the largest Roman triumphal arch. The arch spans the Via triumphalis, the way taken by the emperors when they entered the city in triumph.
Though dedicated to Constantine, much of the decorative material incorporated earlier work from the time of the emperors Trajan (98-117), Hadrian (117-138) and Marcus Aurelius (161-180), and is thus a collage. The last of the existing triumphal arches in Rome, it is also the only one to make extensive use of spolia, reusing several major reliefs from 2nd century imperial monuments, which give a striking and famous stylistic contrast to the sculpture newly created for the arch.
The arch is 21 m high, 25.9 m wide and 7.4 m deep. Above the archways is placed the attic, composed of brickwork reveted (faced) with marble. A staircase within the arch is entered from a door at some height from the ground, on the west side, facing the Palatine Hill. The general design with a main part structured by detached columns and an attic with the main inscription above is modelled after the example of the Arch of Septimius Severus on the Roman Forum.

Why did I first attend an Essex Winning Women meeting? Curiosity and a need-to-know. I felt a bit of a fraud because I did not see myself as an enterprising woman needing support to start/ promote a business. Or do you count private tutoring as a business? I do offer one-to-one tuition in Maths or English up to GCSE level and rely on referrals. Anyway, I really enjoyed the buzz at those evening meetings at Leigh Community Centre. I particularly enjoyed Sarah Arrow's talk on "Blogging". As a result of her generous offer that evening, Kevin Arrow sorted out my website and I signed up for the 30-day Blogging Challenge. Click here for Day 19 and here for the 30 day Blogging Challenge.
Then Rosemary booked the Park Inn Palace for the "Essex Business Women's Experience." Of course I went – and of course I ended up signing up for more things. So many Winning Women! Sam Wilkinson at "The Massage Base" offered me a free Pilates 'taster' session followed by a free 'taster' Massage. Click here for a free taster session – numbers are limited! I so nearly did not take up the offer. First I was ill. Then my friend announced a surprise visit the same afternoon as my appointment, but I arranged to meet her afterwards. I was so convinced that I couldn't do it – to such an extent that my mind often blocked what my body was trying to do. Sam has improved my confidence in exercising 100%. You would NOT believe what I am able to do. I so often surprise myself. According to the Mayo Clinic, Pilates is a method of exercise that consists of low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements. Pilates emphasizes proper postural alignment, core strength and muscle balance . . . It certainly helps me to keep moving and my body is much stronger than my mind tries to tell me.
Claire Mathews at "House of Colour" signed me up to have my colours done. Click here. Claire not only advised me on my colours, she gave me a make-up lesson and a further session discussing my style – I am a 'romantic classic'. When I explained to Claire how much I regretted my thinning eyebrows she recommended her niece, Amy Philips. So now I try not to leave the house without a "pop of colour" on my lips and a little pencil on my eyebrows.
Then there was Jacqueline Trew from "Utility Warehouse" another of the Winning Women – one who could save me money on utilities bills. I took longer to follow up Jacqueline's offer of help and I hummed and hah-ed for quite a while. Click here. Then I bumped into her again at a Quiz Night and we got chatting. As a result, I signed up for the Utility Warehouse this week and will be reducing my bills for Broadband, mobile phone, gas and electricity.
Today on the Winning Women Facebook page I spotted something else to sign up for: vocal coaching. Yes! A chance for me to improve my singing and stop all those complaints about my attempts.
So all-in-all I am most definitely a winning woman! All thanks to Rosemary. Click here.

Q: Removing objects by Id I tried to remove my 3DObject made with three.js by Id and it doesnt work but by Name it works. Am i doing something wrong?
    scene.remove(scene.getObjectByName("objectname")); //works
    scene.remove(scene.getObjectById(objectID)); //doesn't work

A: scene.remove() only works if the object is a direct child of scene. Try to use this code instead:
var object = scene.getObjectById( objectID )
var parent = object.parent;
parent.remove( object );

three.js R109

A: I have half way of my answer. I know why it doesnt work but i have no solution.
The Raycast doesnt give the correct object.id back. intersects[0].object.id is 72 but when i create the object and log the id it is 21. Also the scene.object.name is BotSkinned (because i coded object.name = "BotSkinned"), but the Raycast says: intersects[0].object.name is "Bot_Skinned_0".
Somehow i want to link my Raycastobject to my coded object and im not sure how.. because i want to create multiple objects of 1 name i have to use the ID.

Does anyone have an update regarding the children in Peru? Seeing lots of articles about destruction from El Niño.
Audra, is is way too soon to know anything, but as soon as Compassion knows anything, you will. The best you can hope for, is to hear nothing. Compassion will contact you only if your child has been negatively affected. This is one time when silence truly is golden.
It isn't specific centers listed yet. Thank you for bringing this up, I also sponsor in Peru.
I just clicked on it myself and it takes you to the crisis reports then you will need to select the report for Peru.
Thank you! Good to know about this link!
Hi Audra! I am so glad that Denise and Garry were here to help answer your question over the weekend! Our staff in Peru have been working to provide immediate assistance to our children and families in the affected areas. They will also begin checking on each child individually and letting us know which children were affected by the flooding. Once we begin to receive that information, we will be in contact with the sponsors whose children were affected. Please continue to pray for everyone who is in this area and for our staff as they work to bring relief and hope to these families!
Oh my goodness! I was unaware of this and I also sponsor a child in Peru. Do you know how long it will take before there is a list of centers affected or until we will know anything about our child?
BasicPiper, it usually takes at least a week or longer before we start to receive the information regarding individual children. The staff's first priority is to make sure that those who are in the flooded area are safe and have the essentials they need before they start sending information to us regarding individual kids. We will keep you updated with the situation!

It is most convenient to place the AsyncTask as a private class (i.e. an inner class) inside the Activity where you need to use it.

(Pierre Olivier) Joseph Coomans, né le  à Bruxelles et mort le  à Boulogne-sur-Seine, est un peintre, illustrateur et graveur belge.

Biographie
Peintre romantique formé par Nicaise de Keyser et le baron Wappers à l'Académie royale des beaux-arts d'Anvers. En 1843, la reine Louise-Marie d'Orléans l'envoie en Algérie pour suivre l'armée française en Kabylie. Il y est attaché à l'état-major du maréchal Thomas-Robert Bugeaud et y rencontre le peintre militaire Horace Vernet. Ses trois séjours en Algérie (1843, 1844 et 1845) introduisent l'orientalisme dans son œuvre.

En 1854 et 1855, il rejoint le général Aimable Pélissier et suit une partie de la Guerre de Crimée comme peintre militaire.

En 1855, il se fixe dans les environs de Naples et les fresques romaines de Pompéi lui font progressivement abandonner l'orientalisme au profit de scènes romantiques napolitaines, puis d'un nouveau genre dit "pompéien".

Il se fixe à Paris en 1860 et évolue alors vers un classicisme académique. D' à , il séjourne à Philadelphie et à New York, y peignant surtout des portraits.

Il est le père du poète Oscar Coomans (1848-1884) et des peintes Héva Coomans (1860-1939) et Diana Coomans (1861-1952), toutes deux établies à New York.

CommentEditorial
comment, editorial,
For many, Easter is a time for family, catching up with friends and enjoying a relaxing few days off. For others, it is a strictly religious affair. Church halls swell at this time of year, to accommodate those who observe religious rituals on special occasions. But while chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and bunny rabbits are rife on supermarket shelves, Australia is becoming a much more secular society. Despite this, it seems we still mark Easter, a fervently religious holiday, with symbols of the cross and eggs representing Jesus' new life. The idea of a bunny, however, has no Christian symbolism at all (best to buy the native bilby instead). The percentage of people identifying as Christian of some type or other is still high at 52 per cent. In the last census in 2016 more than 5.29 million people, or 22 per cent, identified as Catholic. Another 3.1 million (13 per cent) said they were Anglicans. Other Christians added up to 3.8 million (16 per cent). The list of other religions in Australia is long, but the numbers are relatively small - Islam has 604,000 followers, Buddhism 563,000, Hindus 440,000 and the Jewish religion records 91,000 Australian followers. There are more than seven million Australians who responded to the census by saying they had no religion. That represents more than 30 per cent of the population. In the ACT in 2016, that number was above the Australian average. Those who said they had no religion made up 36.6 per cent of the population. A further 8.6 per cent did not answer the question. And yet we still acknowledge and celebrate the Easter season, be it with church or chocolate eggs. An extra-long weekend is, after all, a gift for all.

An Easter for all religions, and none
For many, Easter is a time for family, catching up with friends and enjoying a relaxing few days off.
For others, it is a strictly religious affair.
Church halls swell at this time of year, to accommodate those who observe religious rituals on special occasions.

But while chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and bunny rabbits are rife on supermarket shelves, Australia is becoming a much more secular society.
Despite this, it seems we still mark Easter, a fervently religious holiday, with symbols of the cross and eggs representing Jesus' new life.
The idea of a bunny, however, has no Christian symbolism at all (best to buy the native bilby instead).
The percentage of people identifying as Christian of some type or other is still high at 52 per cent.
In the last census in 2016 more than 5.29 million people, or 22 per cent, identified as Catholic.
Another 3.1 million (13 per cent) said they were Anglicans.
Other Christians added up to 3.8 million (16 per cent).
The list of other religions in Australia is long, but the numbers are relatively small - Islam has 604,000 followers, Buddhism 563,000, Hindus 440,000 and the Jewish religion records 91,000 Australian followers.
There are more than seven million Australians who responded to the census by saying they had no religion. That represents more than 30 per cent of the population.
In the ACT in 2016, that number was above the Australian average. Those who said they had no religion made up 36.6 per cent of the population. A further 8.6 per cent did not answer the question.
And yet we still acknowledge and celebrate the Easter season, be it with church or chocolate eggs. An extra-long weekend is, after all, a gift for all.
But these days people are just as likely to spend their Easter weekend at the beach, shopping for homewares or sitting in traffic jams as they return from a long weekend adventure.

Project Management, "Women are up to the task."
By: Judy Flanagan, Cedar Homes of Washington, Inc.
It's well known that project managing the construction of a home will save you money and give you more decision making control. What is less widely known is that many successful project managers are women who have no construction experience whatsoever.
My company has been selling cedar homes for 18 years. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with all kinds of home buyers. Their backgrounds and experiences are as varied as the houses they build. However, I've noticed that the women who elect to project manage the construction of their homes share similar characteristics that uniquely qualify them for the job.
What women lack in home construction knowledge, they more than make up for in natural curiosity and organizational skills, or as some prefer to say, multi-tasking abilities. Anita Legaspi and her husband Ray (neither of whom had construction experience) built a 3,600 sf custom cedar home near Lake Stevens, WA about 5 years ago. At the time, Anita was a stay-at-home mom who enjoyed sewing and Ray was employed at Boeing. They realized early on that they could get more house for their money if they did it themselves.
Of the pair, Anita had more time available to organize the project and research their options. She realized that her experience with soliciting items for school auctions would also be helpful in obtaining subcontractor bids for their home. I wasn't afraid to talk to people and ask questions. I had the ability to communicate on the phone, commented Anita.
Anita admits that the time spent building the home was difficult for their family. Ray and Anita chose to live on-site by utilizing their small trailer and a camper. She remembers the initial fun of camping, complete with bonfires (to burn up the stumps) and hot dog roasts. However, the summer fun dissipated when wet weather set in. Ray and Anita realized that their trailer was becoming more claustrophobic than cozy, and it wasn't very well insulated.
Decide what's important to you.
(1) If you really want that special kitchen, go for it.
(2) You can never go wrong with quality.
(3) Develop a cost breakdown sheet to help you compare bids and expenses.
(4) Big name companies don't always offer the support you'll need.
You need to be able to communicate with a dealer, subcontractor, etc.
You should feel like you can call them any time.
In an effort to learn more about the process, Paul and Nancy attended a Log Home Seminar and also researched companies and products on the Internet. According to Nancy, The seminar was good for us. It brought up all the things we hadn't thought about.
Prior to staying home with their son Cory, Nancy had been a foundry supervisor and had also worked in a human resources department. She knew a few things about interviewing, hiring and managing people. She also knew that if she and Paul were to build the cabin themselves, "it could take years!" Their solution was to put Nancy at the helm and have her manage the construction of the cabin.
Paul and Nancy elected to undertake the finish work themselves, but hired separate subcontractors to handle the foundation, shell construction, electrical, plumbing and roofing. At one point, Nancy put together a work party with three girlfriends. Together they installed the wood flooring in the great room and kitchen. However, Nancy noted that this was done only after we had dinner out on Friday night to discuss our approach, and of course, a great breakfast with lots of chit chat before we actually began.
A low point for Nancy came when she was the only person on-site and the cabinet people dumped all our kitchen cabinets right in the middle of our driveway. It was up to Nancy to figure out how to get them all inside by herself. Nancy called for back up and said, I had to be really assertive, which is totally out of my personality.
Find your own system to stay organized. Nancy used a notebook divided into tasks, i.e. electrical, plumbing, and roofing, etc. Network with other people within the construction community and seek their advice It's OK to be assertive, especially when you are trying to track down answers and make decisions.
Everybody is blown away by how beautiful my home is, says Diane Weibling who project managed the construction of her own 1,200 sf cedar home in North Bend, WA. For ten years, Diane, a family support worker for the Seattle public school system, read how to build your own home books at the North Bend library. The librarian finally told her she was going to have to stop reading and start building her own home. And that's exactly what she did.
In addition to her library research, Diane attended open houses and talked with other homeowners. She says that the idea of project managing the construction her home evolved slowly. I felt like if I wanted it done right, I'd have to do it myself.
She obviously did a lot of things right. Her home has a panoramic view of Mt. Si, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. People drive slowly past her home so that they can appreciate her unique setting and beautiful home.
Diane took time to look for bargains on cabinets and appliances for her new home. She said, I got all my solid maple kitchen cabinets for $1,200. Someone had ordered these and never picked them up. I went to the Sears Outlet and checked out their scratch & dent models. I bought a fridge with a broken plastic handle that I easily replaced. I bought a demo wood stove at the fair and saved $600.
Each of these women brought unique skills to their home projects, none of which was a background in construction. What motivated them to manage their home construction? Certainly money was a factor. By project managing the construction of their own homes, each woman realized many thousands of dollars in savings. The savings could result in a lower mortgage payment, or it could mean having a larger home for less money, or both! In some cases, project managing is a way for the homeowner to maintain more control over all aspects of the home's construction.
Project managing home construction is not an option for everyone. The state of Washington allows homeowners to serve as their own general contractors (or project managers), but not all states will permit this. Bear in mind also that not all banks will finance owner-built homes. Lastly, remember that when the plumber doesn't show up on schedule, you're responsible for keeping the project moving forward and on budget. Some subcontractors are aware that your home is a one-time project for them, whereas a contractor will be calling them for other jobs in the future. This may affect the quality and timeliness of their work which in turn may adversely affect your timeline and budget.
None of the women interviewed for this article had building background and none of them had ever project managed the construction of a home. However, all three women had a natural curiosity about the process and were willing to step out of their comfort zone and try something new. Certainly, the end result for each of these project managers is a beautiful home and many thousands of dollars saved. The most unexpected outcome has been a change within each woman. When asked, "What did you learn about yourself"; all three women project managers responded, I learned I can do anything I set my mind to.
Judy Flanagan, along with her husband Mike, were first time owner / builders of their own cedar home 26 years ago, in Snohomish, WA. She and her husband have owned Cedar Homes of Washington Inc. for 18 years and use their own home as a model. In addition to Cedar Homes of Washington, Judy also serves as an industry consultant to new dealers and conducts informational cedar home seminars for home buyers.

The be seen in the last scene
Topic: Art › Theatre
Sample donated: Amos Clarke
The opening scene of the movie shows the main character, Miles Bennell whos a doctor of the town, the audience witnesses the development of the growing 'pod-people' who are the villains of the movie, and they are only seen from Miles perspectives. The narrative is orchestrated to imply that Miles is really irrational to his shock and what we the audience is witnessing isn't really happening.This can be seen in the last scene as Miles gravely tries to alert other humans of the upcoming invasion. Miles is now the minority he is trying to warn the locals but to his dismay, he is ignored and thought to be a crazy person.
The hero and the villain have had their parts switched, so how can Miles be linked with the simple people of the town. The movie engages a connection with the paranoia and upcoming conformism of 1950s America in the face of McCarthyism at that time. The scene connotes that the non-conformist, Miles, who does not believe in casting aside his originality for an idea he does not stand with, will be diminished to a minority whose voice won't be heard. Miles girlfriend has been turned into one of them which was a reality for a lot of people at that time. The movie also manipulates the audience by using the narrative structure and not having a clear ending, Miles is successful in making the officers contact the authority, they run out, leaving miles left in fear, this is not a classical Hollywood ending and this leaves the audience wonder with questions like if the invasion will be stopped, Who will win the pods or humans? This connotes that this will be an ongoing conflict just like the cold war. This also makes a link with what happened in the movie and America at that time, people who were paranoid with each other because they didn't know who were communist and conformity; and the ending left the audience with many questions as they left the theatre. Only the closest members are able to differentiate the changes, to all the other people he is the same person, this is shown when Wilma tells Miles that there is something different about her uncle, he looks the same and has all the memory but he lacks a genuine feeling, he is dehumanized.
He is shown mowing the lawn with no emotions as if he was just following the routine but not understanding why that was. When people get taken over by the aliens they lose their humanity which includes love and desire. This is shown when Miles kisses Becky to jokingly confirm that it's her and not her double, this foreshadows when Miles learns Becky has been taken over by the green pod. When the two enter the empty restaurant they find out the live band has been replaced by a jukebox connoting the exchange of humanity with machines. The yet to be formed pod has blank fingerprints this indicates the fall of individuality as conformity becomes the new plan working and reasoning become the ideals.
The movie looks into to the terror of conspiracy that was submerged at that time. The movie also talks about the communist infiltrating in America when the movie shows the town is operating as usual like it always has, but in reality, the aliens have taken over most of the people in the town. The concept of covering up what seems out of the ordinary or strange is also evidenced in the film. In a scene, Miles tells Wilma "the trouble is inside you." This point is later revolved around him and Jack when one of the authority Dr. Kaufman describes the secret of the duplicate body and attempts to make the whole weird situation into a common case.
And he responds to their doubt as if it was nothing and when the cops get there it seems strange. This connotes that the people in power are used to make the people who ask questions that everything is ordinary like it is supposed to be. By using psychiatrist and the law force who are supposed to protect the innocents they are represented as people who are not to be trusted as this is what the pod people try to suggest. This also subverts governing authority that wanting to control.
Additionally, the diegetic music that Miles hears attracts his attention as he leaves Becky alone which causes her change. This also connotes how at that time, Mccarthy's witch hunt left people to abandon their friends and families. The movie manages to capture an authentic feeling of uncertainty and paranoia, however, it is uncertain if the filmmaker wanted to speak out against Communism or McCarthyism; it's also possible that the filmmaker was intending a normal message. Conformity is shown as a risk which goes against the witch hunts for communist people that belittle the idea of free speech and tried to influence all people to the same political ideology. there is also an idea that people are swiftly transformed when they are at a place of comfort.

You know what I've always wondered? Why on New Year's Day do we Scots, especially in the west, go mad for a cheeky steak pie? Well OK, that's not strictly true. I've literally just started wondering this about 20 minutes before sitting down to write this latest Steak Pie review from Whitburn Juniors but it has posed a bit of a puzzle. You see when I think about growing up the correlation between a Steak Pie and New Year doesn't immediately come to mind. Sneaking up to my Gran's for the bells before finding a party and then nursing a hangover the next day with a Chicken Chow Mein and The Mighty Ducks trilogy yes. Steak pie, not so much.
The reasons seems to be fairly sparse and prone to speculation. One theory harks back to the good old days when New Year's Day wasn't a holiday and so a pie was an easily prepared celebratory treat after a hard day at the (in some cases literal) coalface. There's also a rather, seems-far-too-hippy-to-be-something-a-Scottish-person-would-have-come-up-with, idea that steak pies are round to signify the cyclical nature of the year. The romanticist in me likes to think a wee Granny somewhere made a banging pie and everyone else just decided it was a good idea. Whatever the reason it's a tribute to the enduring nature of the steak pie that whilst Christmas Day continues to bring an ever increasing kaleidoscope of culinary adventure the humble steak pie forever remains.
And remain it continues to do so, which brings us to our latest review The Whitburn Steak Pie. So without much further ado, let's rate some pie!
Price: £1.40, which even compared with 2015/16 prices is an absolute bargain in the luxury game day pie market.
Presentation: Much like its scotch pie compatriot from the same venue this was lovingly wrapped in a medium sized white napkin, a true staple of the match day pie presentation scene.
Meatiness: When I have a pie I like to type a few notes on my phone. Firstly to help capture my instant reaction but also to help when I finally get round to writing up a review as time has been known to get away from me. On reviewing my notes on this, The Whitburn Steak Pie, I was amused to find one of my instant reactions around its meaty content was, and I quote "generous as fu*k". It really was, with large chunks of steak, plentiful in nature and of the texture you'd really hope for when buying such a pastry. There was a couple of drawbacks though. After a few bites it became a little over salty, a gradual build of sodium drawing moisture out my mouth quicker than licking a hairdryer ever would, whilst the gravy wasn't as plentiful as possible (more on that very shortly). That said there was a good volume of steak and whilst salt heavy it was still a tasty bite.
Pastry: It's safe to say this pastry was a bit leaky. Whilst a perfectionist will bemoan the presence of boil out (a key measure when officially judging a pie) for me sometimes it adds a new and interesting dimension to a pie, which in this instance was certainly the case. Due to the holes a lot of the gravy (as referenced above) had escaped during the cooking process leave chewy little sheets of brown attached to the base. It sounds odd but was actually a nice wee treat and the pastry itself was actuality fairly well baked and held the filling sufficiently.
Brown Sauce: It's been a while so I'll let you off but never should you dress a luxury pie with brown sauce. The gravy should be plenty and if it's not then your pie just isn't quite right.
Overall: Generous steak, leaky pastry with an interesting gravy jerky type affect caused by the boil out makes this pie an interesting, if slightly, salty addition to the MFP encyclo-pie-dia.
Gravy Factor: Salt "n" Steak.
So that's another review in the books, I plan to try to get to a game this weekend but I'm also acutely aware that I have a pre New Year's night out planned that may impede my driving ability so a saunter to Hampden may instead be on the cards. Either way I will return, but until next time, have a happy new year, and of course, go forth and eat pie!
2018 is going to be a goodie!

This country house for eight people is an authentic treat for those who want to relax under the Mediterranean sun and avoid the typical tourist crowds common to other areas. This 17th century country house has recently been refurbished and comes with all the modern conveniences from heating, air-conditioning and even a dish washer.
Of all the Easter celebrations in Spain, the best known are in Andalucia, the solemn processions of Seville, Granada and Malaga come to mind. However there are many places where antique and interesting traditions are maintained. One of these occurs in Verges on the Costa Brava.
For anyone who fancies taking a breather during the December holidays, or going for a winter break to the Costa Brava, we've got an incredible villa to recommend: the Island Villa in L'Estartit. The Villa is an authentic farmhouse from the 19th century, which was reformed five years ago. It's ideal for getting in touch with nature and it just 2 km from the beach.
The Costa Brava is about much more than lying on a beach and sunning yourself. Its deep crystal blue waters are the ideal place to experiment with new sensations and inject some energy into your holiday. The watersports you can try in the Costa Brava include scuba diving, sailboating, windsurfing, jet-skiing and kayaking.
On the Costa Brava there are some of the best beaches on the entire Spanish coast, with crystalline waters and spectacular landscapes amongst cliffs and pine forests extending all the way down to the beach. However, if the beach just isn't enough for you then on the Costa Brava you also have the various water parks where you can slide down their endless waterslides and fully enjoy yourself with your friends or family.
With 200km of coastline, 17 marines and ports, more than 30 underwater safaris, sailing and windsurfing schools, two natural parks, and a marine reserve, the Costa Brava is the ideal place for indulging your adventurous side and practising your favourite water sports. On this Catalan coastline, you will find a large number of specialised companies willing to help you fully enjoy the Costa Brava coasts and practise the large number of water sports available without any problems, making it the perfect location for the most daring holidays.
We've put together a route covering the main places on the Costa Brava where Salvador Dalí let his imagination run wild. The three points of the Dalí Triangle are the Dalí Theatre Museum in Figueres, the Dalí House Museum in Portlligat and Gala and Dali's Castle in Púbol.

August 16, 2010 | The Law Office of Philip D. Cave
Huffington Post has a piece about MEJA.
In the perpetual debate over legal accountability of, and prosecution if necessary, of private military and security contractors one often sees the arguments reduced to two simplistic arguments.
PMSC opponents argue the contractors argue in a legal vacuum and with utter impunity. This is, of course, as anyone who has even done the most cursory reading on the subject knows, is utter nonsense. . . .
Well then, in that case let's take a look at a journal article published this past spring. In an article "Cowboys in the Middle East: Private Security Companies and the Imperfect Reach of the United States Criminal Justice System" in the quarterly journal Connections Christopher M. Kovach, who serves as a Captain in the United States Air Force Judge Advocate General's Corps, notes the limitations of the revised MEJA.
Marine Corps Times reports:
A baritone horn player assigned to Marine Barracks Washington is the subject of an Article 32 investigation in connection with online photos and videos that allegedly show him having sex with other men.
WRAL.com reports:
An 82nd Airborne Division soldier charged in a sexual assault on Fort Bragg last December asked a military judge on Monday to move his trial.
Army Spc. Aaron Michael Pernell, 23, is charged with two counts each of rape and burglary and one count each of attempted rape, assault consummated by battery and housebreaking. His court-martial is scheduled to begin the week of Sept. 27.
Pernell's military lawyers asked that the trial be moved because of Fayetteville's relatively close-knit community and the intense media coverage surrounding sex assaults in the area.
Navy Times reports:
The commanding officer of the amphibious assault ship Peleliu was relieved of command Sunday even as his ship helped with the humanitarian mission in flood-stricken Pakistan, after an investigation found he had been "unduly familiar" with crew members, the Navy announced. The relief will not stop Peleliu's contributions to the flood relief efforts, a spokesman said.
The supervisor of a former Camp Lejeune Marine accused of killing his pregnant colleague testified Friday that ex-Marine Cesar Laurean was one of the best troops of his rank he has ever led. . . .
Larsen said he did not know Lauterbach well. But her reputation in the unit was "that she's not truthful all the time," Larsen said.
This case got quite a bit of noteriety when it happened.
Laurean [the accused] was kicked out of the Marines after fleeing hours before investigators found Lauterbach's body on Jan. 12, 2008. Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Laurean was arrested in western Mexico in April 2008 after an international manhunt. Prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty so Mexico would return Laurean to the U.S.
Lauterbach accused Laurean in May 2007 of raping her and fathering her unborn baby. She later told a military prosecutor that Laurean couldn't be the father based on a medical examination and recalculated conception date. A DNA test showed Laurean was not the father.
The apparent motive for the murder is anger at being falsely accused of rape and the associated stresses of being a rape suspect for many months. So why post, other than Dick McNeil a Code 45 alumnus is the defense counsel.
