The Sea Salt Business in Malta That's Been Running for 200 Years
For generations, the Darmanin family has been producing sea salt at Żonqor Point in the south of Malta – a part of the island's shoreline that is equal parts charming and wild
The chalky limestone contrasts beautifully with the deep blue Mediterranean Sea and azure sky, but it isn't all tranquility - Żonqor is a place open to the elements. When the wind picks up, waves reach mammoth proportions – crashing against the coastline and battering anything within reach. This is where 83-year-old Żaren Darmanin maintains salt pans, hand-carved into the rock centuries ago. It's in the last decade, though, that the Darmanins have dipped their toes into showcasing their craft as part of a wider drive to establish rural tourism in Malta.
An Evolving Rural Network
Eco-tourism and other alternatives to mainstream leisure tourism have surfaced – and mostly disappeared – in Malta over the years. But, the rural tourism designed by the Merill Rural Network seems to be here to stay. Merill – named after Malta's national bird, the blue rock thrush – brings together farmers, breeders and artisans from across the Maltese islands to create awareness about local agriculture and traditions.
Christian Borg, co-Founder and Network Manager of Merill is proud of the leaps made by the company, but knows it is no easy task: "Merill has gone from strength to strength, but we're swimming against the current. It's challenging, but we've been stubborn enough to persist." Without flexibility, we'll perish; so, we're an evolving enterprise with a core mission: to create alternative touristic experiences that enhance environmental conservation and empower rural communities."
Merill and the Darmanins partnered up in 2012, and their sea salt tour has become a favourite among visitors: "We've created an interactive, intimate experience that draws people into the tradition's narrative so that they can grasp the value behind what we're doing. This is why the rural producers themselves have to be involved," explains Borg. At 83 years old, Darmanin doesn't host tours himself, but his son, Mario, and his granddaughter, Diana, often show visitors the ways of Maltese sea-salt production.
Sea-Salt Production in Żonqor
Darmanin runs a small-scale, hands-on venture at the salt pans in Żonqor: "I've been doing this since I was 16 years old, but the family tradition goes back some 200 years. I inherited a ground rent receipt book from my grandmother, which shows that we've been paying rent here since at least 1821 – when it cost just five cents every other month!"
It is said that the salt pans themselves date back to Roman times, which is certainly plausible. The salt basins in Malta and Gozo were originally started by the Phoenicians and later renovated by the Romans. And, little has changed in the way of production. The practice stills runs May - September, and it still relies upon the sun, sea, stone and hours of physical labour starting at dawn.
Describing the typical process, Darmanin explains: "First, we lift water from the sea and pour it into a big rock basin and then, we separate out the water into smaller and shallower salt pans." The process continues like this for a few weeks before the magic happens: "In the smallest pans, the water evaporates quickly, and it becomes easier and quicker to harvest salt. After about a week, we start seeing salt crystals. We need to be patient because it takes weeks for the water to evaporate. But, the longer the water sits, the better it is for the salt."
The salt crystals are swept and gathered into heaps so that excess water can drain away. It is then stored in a stone shed to shelter it from the weather as the wind and rain are detrimental when harvesting.
"Once the salt is in its final heap, we etch a cross on top of it," explains Darmanin. "My grandmother used to do this, and I've continued the tradition." This Christian custom dates back to a time before refrigeration, when using salt was the only food preservation method. Nowadays, producers still mark the salt with a cross to bless and protect it. The fleur de sel is then sold to visitors and other rural producers for use in olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes and other local products.
Despite all of this heard work, salt doesn't sell for very much, and people can't rely on it for income. Looking ahead, the Darmanins remain exceedingly positive and will continue the tradition for as long as people want to buy their salt or experience its production. Regardless of what the future holds, the Darmanin name will forever be synonymous with the iconic salt pans at Żonqor Point.

Published: 2017 Received: July 27, 2017 Released on J-STAGE: December 22, 2017 Accepted: December 07, 2017 [Advance Publication] Released: - Revised: October 30, 2017
Due to the growing elderly population in many developed countries like Japan, assistive devices are increasingly needed to overcome the difficulties of their activities of daily living (ADL). The motion of standing up places a particular burden on the ankle and knee joints and connects static motions (e.g., sitting and lying) and kinetic motions (e.g., walking and climbing up/down the stairs). In our previous research, two types of standing-up assistance apparatuses were introduced according to the suitable standing-up motions. However, these devices are bulky and cannot be widely used in practical settings such as bus terminals. Regarding the suitable standing-up motions of the elderly in the previous literature, a standing-up apparatus with a pantograph mechanism is introduced to diminish the size of the mechanism based on three design principles: (1) the trajectory of the user's COG is an arc; (2) the trajectory of the user's hip joint while standing up is a straight line at an angle of 45 [deg] from the horizon; and (3) the user is supported until the knee angle reaches 60 [deg]. Simulations showed that the load on knee and ankle joint is decreased, and user may stand up easily with our proposed apparatus. A prototype of the apparatus that may be installed on various chairs in public was fabricated. Considering that the apparatus may be used in places without electric power supply, the apparatus is made simply with links and a gas spring instead of electric actuators. Experimental measurements of the trajectories of the center of gravity (COG) and hip joints show that the proposed apparatus may help users to stand in a way that minimizes stress on their lower-body joints.

Dispersion of carbon dioxide from vertical vent and horizontal releases - a numerical study
Wen, Jennifer X., Heidari, A., Xu, B. and Jie, H. (2013) Dispersion of carbon dioxide from vertical vent and horizontal releases - a numerical study. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part E: Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, Volume 227 (Number 2). pp. 125-139. doi:10.1177/0954408913480078
Numerical simulations of far-field carbon dioxide dispersion were conducted for a vertical vent release and a horizontal release from a shock tube. These scenarios had also been studied experimentally at field scale commissioned by National Grid. This work and the experiments both form part of the National Grid dense phase CO2 pipeLine TRANSportation (COOLTRANS) research programme. All tests involved releases of dense phase CO2 into an atmospheric flow. The dispersing plumes were subjected to transient wind conditions where both the direction and magnitude of the wind fluctuated with time. As part of the COOLTRANS research programme, the far-field dispersion simulations started from source terms derived from the near-field simulations conducted by the University of Leeds and outflow simulations conducted by University College London. The numerical model used for the far-field simulations is based on OPENFOAM, which is an object-oriented open source computational fluid dynamics toolbox. A dedicated solver CO2FOAM has been developed within the framework of OPENFOAM for simulating dispersion from dense phase CO2 releases. This has included the implementation of the homogeneous equilibrium method for fully compressible two-phase flow, treatment of the transient atmospheric boundary conditions and the time-varying inlet boundary conditions. The experimental measurements were supplied to the authors after the predictions were completed and submitted to National Grid. Hence, the validation reported here is indeed "blind." While further fine tuning of the model and validation is still underway, the relatively good agreement between the predictions and measurements in the present study has demonstrated the potential of CO2FOAM as an effective predictive tool for far-field CO2 dispersion in the context of pipeline transportation for carbon capture and storage.

Wholesale prices on some products are spiking thanks to the summer heatwave, slated to be one of Britain's hottest since 1976.
Lettuce has been one of the worst hit crops, as the 30 degree temperatures halt their growth in the field according to the British Leafy Salad Growers.
Chris Hutchinson, owner of Arthur Hutchinson Ltd at New Spitalfields Market said wholesale prices are quickly rising as a result.
"Cabbages and icebergs are suffering because they're getting cooked in the field, prices are tremendously high. The price of lettuce has gone from £4.80 per box to £9.60."
Hutchinson said soaring temperatures were also impacting the supply of fruit in different ways, as the hot weather primes shoppers for more refreshing produce.
"Spanish watermelons are in short supply as demand is huge, with prices going up to £2 per box," Hutchinson added.
Steve Scrivener, owner of JT Kemsley, said strawberry prices are also inflated, with supply short following a recent glut due to the warm spring. The hot weather prompted a sudden wave of harvesting across the UK, when normally northern growers deliver later, allowing a more even season.
He said some days they have had just one pallet to sell at New Spitalfields Market. "Normally Kent develops first and then as you go north you get their crop later in the season, but they have hot temperatures as well. There won't be a lot of strawberries for the next four weeks. English strawberries are worth £2.50 per punnet," he said.
One salad crop that is thriving in the heatwave however is watercress, which is irrigated from aquifers of cold water.
Tom Amery, managing director of The Watercress Company says: "I appreciate this is a difficult time for UK lettuce growers and empathise – we are suffering too with our baby salad leaf, spinach and lettuce crops.

Q: How do I combine two arrays in bash, by summing like-indices? Say I have two arrays (or an array or arrays!) in bash like so
a=(1 0 1)
b=(0,1,1)

how do I combine them into:
c=(1 1 2)

Where each element is added together to make c?

A: Firstly, array definitions in bash don't take , between the array elements, they are just defined simply as
a=(1 0 1)
b=(0 1 1)

To generate the new array with the sum of the elements in the same indices, iterate over either of the array indices (assuming same array length in both cases) do
for idx in "${!a[@]}"; do
    c[idx]=$(( a[idx] + b[idx] ))
done

Instead of iterating over the indices with ${!a[@]}, one could also use a traditional C-style for loop iterating up to the array length
for (( idx=0; idx < ${#a[@]}; idx++ )); do

Finally, to print the result in the new array you can do something like
printf '%s\n' "${c[@]}"

A: Try this,
a=(1,0,1)
b=(0,1,1)
a1=(`echo $a | tr ',' ' '`)
b1=(`echo $b | tr ',' ' '`)
for i in `seq 0 1 ${#a1[@]}`
do
        c1[$i]=`expr ${a1[$i]} + ${b1[$i]}`
done
c=(`echo ${c1[@]} | tr ' ' ','`)

What should you know about domestic violence charges in California?
Jan 21, 2021 | Violent Crimes
Domestic violence is any physical, emotional or verbal abuse that a suspect inflicts upon someone with whom they have a close relationship.
In California, the state's Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA), describes some of the many penalties that the perpetrator of such acts may face for their offenses.
What does California's Domestic Violence Prevention Act classify as domestic violence?
The law describes what state lawmakers classify as domestic violence. That list includes the destruction of someone else's personal property, making written threats or threatening phone calls, committing a sexual or physical assault or disturbing the peace. State lawmakers may classify stalking, molestation, battery and harassment as domestic violence, especially if a victim's close contact commits such an act.
What rights do victims have in domestic violence cases?
The court may take any abuse, whether it falls into the categories above or not, and use it to justify the issuance of a Civil Harassment Order against the alleged perpetrator of such acts.
Your alleged victim may be able to petition a judge for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order if they can prove that someone subjected their child to domestic violence. Your alleged victim must be able to show proof that you two are ex-spouses, formerly dated, are co-parents or have some other familiar, residential or blood relation to petition a California judge for a restraining order, though.
California law allows minors 12 and older to apply for restraining orders themselves without first getting their parent or guardian's consent.
How long do California protection or restraining orders last once instituted?
Emergency protection orders last seven calendar days or less. Temporary (or ex parte) restraining orders only remain in effect for 15 days. California judges generally only issue restraining orders after holding court hearings. The court may set its expiration date for five years out once depending on the evidence presented to them during that hearing.
There's more to domestic violence than restraining orders
A restraining order can affect your ability to spend time with your child, return to your residence, interact with other family members and your job prospects. They may also result in you facing criminal charges. If you're facing a domestic violence charge, speak with an experienced advocate as soon as possible.

Q: Android. Data between Activities and Fragment What is the best practice to get data from an activity to a fragment?

*

*With a bundle passed as argument

*Making data in activity accessible from fragment with a public method that returns the data

A: Pass the data from activity like this
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("name", name);
bundle.putString("address", address);
FragmentA fragmentA = new FragmentA();
fragmentA.setArguments(bundle);

and in Fragment A onCreateView method retrieve it like this:
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
    Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, container, false);
    String name = getArguments().getString("name");
    String address = getArguments().getString("address");
}

EDIT
If fragment is already loaded then you can do it like this (using your current implementation)
Send data like this
PassDataToFragment fragA = (PassDataToFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.container); // Change the id as per yours
fragA.passDataToFragment(name, address);

You will get the data in passDataToFragment() inside fragment A.

One of the issues faced by criminal defendants is the level of discretion allowed prosecuting attorneys when charging suspects. In order to charge a suspect, prosecutors need only supply enough evidence to establish probable cause, which is a much lower standard than that needed to win a conviction: proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Because prosecuting attorneys are judged by their conviction rates, this difference in burden-of-proof thresholds may sometimes lead to overcharging criminal defendants so as to secure a plea bargain agreement to the lesser charge.
Though the practice of overcharging is impermissible, because the court system is reluctant to prevent the prosecution from presenting any case supported by probable cause, the reality is that overcharging is a quite common practice. Knowing this, you may have many legal questions regarding your options when facing criminal charges.
In order to secure the best possible legal aid in such circumstances, it's important to find a criminal defense attorney with experience successfully dealing with over-aggressive prosecutors. You need legal services capable of representing your best interests, and an attorney with the legal skills to secure the best possible outcome. Larry Keller has over 30 years of experience as a criminal defense lawyer specializing in personal injury, DUI, and auto accident cases.

Urban Escapes
Although we all savour our lengthy summer holiday, stress and wellness experts are increasingly convinced having regular short breaks woven into our working life are just as beneficial to our wellbeing. The city break has become the de facto short break for many people. By choosing a luxury London apartment you put yourself in easy striking distance of dozens of cities to enjoy for a few days.
The usual culprits of Paris (by air or rail), Barcelona and Berlin will always be perennial favourites, and for good reasons. But sometimes it's nice to try an alternative, one that doesn't have the big name pull of the heavyweights but has unique qualities that are sure to enchant you.
Baden-Baden, Germany. Berlin will always be the number one destination for city breaks in Germany. With its cosmopolitan atmosphere and rich history and culture Berlin is fantastic for a short trip. However, the spa town of Baden-Baden should be high on your list. Nestled at the foothills of the Black Forest, the location is nothing short of stunning with rolling greenery as far as the eye can see. As a spa town you'll find no end of relaxation opportunities, from the Friedrichsbad thermal baths to palatial Brenners Park Spa. When it comes to dining you're spoiled for choice with both Michelin-starred restaurants and fine local eateries on offer. The town also has a full and varied calendar of events from vintage car rallies, horse racing, music concerts and, of course, a German Christmas market.
Gothenburg, Sweden. While Stockholm holds the glamour crown in Sweden, it's Gothenburg that attracts the cool cats. With its cultural roots tied to the sea, trade and industry, Gothenburg has a unique blend of the cultural and industrial that permeates every part of it. Gothenburg is a cultural hub for the country, with the Gothenburg International Film Festival and Gothenburg Book Fair the largest events of their type in Sweden. But if you're just in town to relax and indulge yourself be sure to dine at Restaurang 28+ for fine Swedish cuisine and an unparalleled wine selection. Then head to the Haga district and wander down its quaint cobbled streets and explore the range of designer boutiques.
Baku, Azerbaijan. Here's one for the more adventurous. Still largely unexplored by tourists, Baku is set to be the next big destination for those looking for a city break with a difference. It's a city that sees luxurious and modern new buildings butting up against the historic architecture of the old city, which is classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Book a room in the Four Seasons and enjoy sweeping views over the Caspian Sea before exploring the city and uncovering its plethora of hidden jewels.

Very soon God's wonderous plan for His church will arrive. The long-awaited "Loud Cry" will be given. This will be the time that our prophetess has spoken of, "Clad in the armor of Christ's righteousness, the church is to enter upon her final conflict. Fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and as terrible as an army with banners, she is to go forth into all the world conquering and to conquer." (Prophets and Kings. P.725). Who will be a part? What is the message of the Loud Cry? Let's look at this special time of God's full power and Spirit, soon to come upon His remnant church.
Let's address the first question — Who will be a part?
"…the Roman system that is now carried on by the church: plate-passing, high-powered speeches, Big Day, Book Day, high pressuring, campaigning, selling, auctioneering, Harvest Ingathering, birthday offerings, Christmas-tree hangings, baby weighings, Dorcas sales, investment funds, and what not! As none of these squeezings are Biblical, and as all of them are Pagan in origin and condemned by the Scriptures, they could not possibly be considered freewill offerings. Search and see.
So we now ask – is it possible that the Lord's pouring out of His full Spirit upon the church in the Loud Cry, will include these leaders and spiritually complicit, which include those who are aware of it yet don't sigh and cry about it?
Could those who are now partaking in the abominations against the Lord be those considered to have "withstood temptation in the strength of the Mighty One'?
When we look back to the Lord's choosing of men for His first advent, we see that the humble honest of heart were chosen for the 1st proclamation of the gospel. It appears the Lord will choose the same types for the great Loud Cry proclamation. The learned and self exalted, who have dug their doctrine stakes deep, and who are unwilling to be corrected, surely stand a slim chance in taking part in the most important work of all earthly history–the proclaiming of the true gospel with God's full power and Spirit.
So the answer to the question is that the Lord cannot use the current church, as it now stands, to proclaim the final gospel. Those who think He will, are ignorant of the Scriptures, SOP, and the Elijah message. Only the "overcomers" of temptations, the ones who are listening and walking according to the Holy Spirit, will be involved in the Loud Cry.
In the very near future we will know that the Lord's Elijah messenger, then follwed by the messengers, have warned. The Lord has come to His temple(Mal. 3:1-5). The reins are now "in His hands" (Test. to Ministers, p.300). The world has been shocked and bewildered as God's word has been fulfilled (1 Peter 4;17). Now it's time for the great proclamation to appear.When the above has been completed, God's final plan is to be implemented.
The second question is –What is the message of the Loud Cry?
"In every generation God has sent his servants to rebuke sin, both in the world and in the church. But the people desire smooth things spoken to them, and the pure, unvarnished truth is not acceptable. Many reformers, in entering upon their work, determined to exercise great prudence in attacking the sins of the church and the nation. They hoped, by the example of a pure Christian life, to lead the people back to the doctrines of the Bible.
"Thus will the message of the third angel be proclaimed. As the time comes for the loud cry to be given, the Lord will work through humble instruments, leading the minds of those who consecrate themselves to his service. The laborers will be qualified rather by the unction of his Spirit than by the training of literary institutions. Men of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them.
The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of a union of Church and State, the inroads of Spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power,–all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands have never listened to words like these. In amazement they hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from Heaven.
The people go to their former teachers with the eager inquiry, Are these things so? The ministers present fables, prophesy smooth things, to soothe their fears, and quiet the awakened conscience. But many refuse to be satisfied with the mere authority of men, and demand a plain "Thus saith the Lord." The popular ministry, like the Pharisees of old, are filled with anger as their authority is questioned; they denounce the message as of Satan, and stir up the sin-loving multitudes to revile and persecute those who proclaim it.
As the controversy extends into new fields, and the minds of the people are called to God's down-trodden law, Satan is astir. The power attending the message only maddens those who oppose it. The clergy put forth almost superhuman efforts to shut away the light, lest it should shine upon their flocks. By every means at their command they endeavor to suppress the discussion of these vital questions.
The church appeals to the strong-arm of civil power, and in this work, papists are solicited to come to the help of Protestants. The movement for Sunday enforcement becomes more bold and decided. The law is invoked against commandment-keepers. They are threatened with fines and imprisonment, and some are offered positions of influence, and other rewards and advantages, as inducements to renounce their faith. But their steadfast answer is, "Show us from the word of God our error,"–the same plea that was made by Luther under similar circumstances.
So the above gives us a good look at the events that happen within the Loud Cry period. There is to be great wonders and yet great stress. Our beloved prophetess gives a great account of this time.
A few Scriptures that speak about this time period.
May we strive to be among those who take part in this last great work– the Loud Cry. A most exciting and extraordinary work that sets up His everlasting kingdom.
Sister White wrote in 1892 that the Loud Cry of the Third Angel's Message had already begun; please explain why others claim that it is yet future. And what makes it "loud"?
The message swells to a Loud Cry by virtue of an "addition" which gives it "power and force."- Early Writings, p. 277. The only conclusion admissible, therefore, is that since the church has never accepted an additional message, and since there has never come one (other than that in The Shepherd's Rod publications) that would give "power and force" to the old message, the Loud Cry could not have begun at any time previous to this.
"…only those who have withstood temptation in the strength of the Mighty One," warns the Spirit of Prophecy, "will be permitted to act a part in proclaiming it [the Third Angel's Message] when it shall have swelled into the loud cry."-The Review and Herald Nov. 19, 1908. So while the fainter cry is proclaimed by those who have, as well as by those who have not, overcome temptation, the Loud Cry is to be proclaimed only by those who have.
Though the Loud Cry was to have begun by 1892, it was muffled when the church rejected the message of Righteousness by Faith in 1888. Thus, the scroll which contained the "additional" message that was to give "power and force" to the Third Angel's Message, for the time then being ceased unrolling. And consequently, instead of becoming the light of the world, the church herself went into darkness. Seeing this, the Spirit of Truth made a fearful pronouncement of doom upon unrepentant Laodiceans, while giving joyous promise of future glory to all who will arise and walk in the light that proceeds from the throne.
"How will any of our brethren know when this light shall come to the people of God?" was the sweeping question then asked by Inspiration. And the inspired answer was: "As yet we have certainly not seen the light that answers to this description. God has light for His people, and all who accept it will see the sinfulness of remaining in a lukewarm condition."-The Review and Herald, Oct. 7, 1890.
"In the manifestation of the power that lightens the earth with its glory, they will see only something which in their blindness they think dangerous, something which will arouse their fears and they will brace themselves to resist it. Because the Lord does not work according to their expectations and ideal, they will oppose the work. Why, they say, should we not know the Spirit of God, when we have been in the work so many years?"-Bible Training School, 1907. (Reprinted in The Review and Herald, Nov. 7 1918.) This statement plainly projects the Loud Cry into the future from 1918.
What additonal proof can you give that the present church will not complete the work of the Loud Cry?
Answer– "If the present church leadership is to complete the work , then how can our brethren explain the following quotation which is found in "The Testimonies for the Church", Vol. 5, p.80, from which we quote?

The European Union's partnership with Afghanistan hinges on its desire to see Afghanistan stabilise, and advance, in both social and economic development. A strong Afghanistan is desirable in and of itself, but could also be a pivotal force in the greater security and stability of the Central Asia region as a whole.
The EU-Afghanistan Cooperation Agreement on Partnership and Development (CAPD)—clearly recognising the key role a strong Afghanistan would play—affirms the EU's desire to establish regular political dialogue with Afghanistan in a number of arenas: human rights issues (particularly regarding women and children), rule of law, public health, rural development, education, science, and technology. January of this year saw the European Parliament "expressing support for the Afghan government," and suggesting specific strategic and political objectives to be implemented by the Afghani state. Many of those objectives centred around security, peace-building, human rights, and development.
Research into the peace building process has shown that cases where women apply powerful influence on a negotiation process, there was a higher chance of reaching an agreement. Under the same conditions, women's involvement has also been found to create more favourable chances for successful implementation of specific stipulations.
Yet, from 1990 to 2017, women represented only a mere two percent of mediators, eight percent of negotiators, and five percent of witnesses and signatories in all major peace processes. Of all peace agreements signed worldwide between 2000 and 2016, only seven percent clearly outlined gender-equal directives.
Peace negotiations are often broad and basic out of necessity. Still, they tend to at least partially uncover the deeply embedded root causes of conflict(s). Many times, formal peace talks then provide platforms from which to discuss and devise durable solutions to those underlying issues—.
Afghanistan's current peace process is feeble and insufficient at best. The recent peace talks have not only excluded the democratically elected government (a Taliban requirement); they have also failed to include even one single woman in the processes.
As far back as 1996, the exclusion of women from Afghan state and local affairs has had a destructive, lasting effect on the country. When the Taliban took control in the mid-90s they banned women from attending school and deprived them of their basic human rights, namely access to health, education, political engagement, and economic and social participation. It is important to note that Afghan women have achieved gradual recoveries and gains in these areas since 2001, but they fought long and hard to do so. The political, economic, and social presence of women and girls in Afghanistan has strengthened, with girls mostly able to—at least in principle—attend school again. It is still difficult to classify girls' education in Afghanistan as a normative practice, as only 1 out of every 3 girls is currently attending school. Over the past decade, women have also held key roles as members of the Afghan parliament, as governors, and as police. Yet, Afghanistan still ranks as the most dangerous country for women in three prominent areas: prevalence of non-sexual violence (namely, domestic physical and mental abuse), lack of access to healthcare, and lack of access to economic resources.
It is imperative for the EU to recognise that, in its attempt to increase gender parity in peace processes, the global community as a whole cannot simply "add women and stir." Instead, the focus has to shift from solely involving women in formal negotiations, to ensuring that they hold valuable, effectual positions in what must become a broader, more inclusive peace process from the very beginning.
Women possess critical knowledge and experience that enables them to offer community- and family-based solutions to problems at each and every level: from the home, to the neighbourhood, to the village, city, and country as a whole. Women must be at the peace talk tables from start to finish. They must be included in pre-negotiation consultations and planning sessions; they must be directly represented at the official negotiations; and they must be integral actors in all post-agreement endeavours.
The EU has every right to proceed in its partnership with Afghanistan. But to do so without the expertise and input of women is unacceptable. Any part of the Afghan peace process that does not include women—or directly bars them from participating—unfortunately translates as an EU-sanctioned, continued denial of Afghan women's rights.

Falcon 900 is a French corporate business-jet, the extended variant of trijet Falcon 50 but with a larger fuselage. The aircraft is powered with three Honeywell TFE731-5BR-1C turbofans that are notable for specific S-duct type. The Falcon 900 also differs from its predecessor by wings of greater wingspan and wing area.
The aircraft was targeted on the civil market and it made its first flight on September 1984. The test period ended in 1986 and after that the deliveries started. In 1995 an amount of 142 aircraft was sold to the airlines from 30 states.
The original variant of the aircraft was Falcon/Mystere 900 equipped with TFE731-5AR-1C of 20,02 kN thrust. In the end of 1991 in France and UK the second variant Falcon/Mystere 900B was certified. That particular aircraft was delivered to customers. This variant could be used in unprepared fields and it was powered with new TFE731-5BR-1C (21.13 kN) that improved flight data and increased the range.
In 2000 the new variant of the aircraft designated Falcon 900C was revealed. It is a variant of Falcon 900B with better avionics.
The first Mystere 900 of "Very VIP" class was delivered to the French Navy in 1987. Same aircraft were bought by Algeria, Australia, Gabon, Malaysia, Nigeria and Spain. Two Falcon 900s were delivered to Japanese Airforce to serve as long-distance maritime patrol aircraft.

Whether or not we make New Year's resolutions, most of us find ourselves looking for ways to improve as the new year arrives. If your goal for 2018 is to become an exemplary leader, here are some ideas to help you get there.
1. Support your staff: Hospice work can take its toll. When a staff member has had several deaths in a week, it has an emotional impact. Supporting one another is vital to maintaining emotional stamina. We must treat each other as we treat the patients and families we care for; with great respect, understanding and kindness. Most of all CARE. Care about the human beings offering the service you market, and care from your heart.
2. Get out of your office and interact with staff and patients and families: I get it – there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything you have to do as a leader. But unless you have a ground-level view of how things are working (or not) in your organization, how can you manage effectively? The exemplary leader has a very clear view of operations, gleaned from their own observations and interaction with staff, volunteers, patients and families. Ask questions. Strike up a conversation; pitch in and help. Let staff and clients know you're there and you care.
4. Start every meeting with your Mission: Use the first few minutes of every meeting to tell a story (or ask for one) about someone who's put in special effort, shown a great can-do attitude, or gone above and beyond in some way to achieve your Mission. This sets a positive tone for what follows, and lets staff know you see and appreciate their hard work and extra efforts.
5. Hospices should be the employer of choice in the community and that begins with making sure that you treat your employees well, that you pay them as well as you can and that your hospice is a great place to work. If you cannot be the highest paying employer, then do the things the other employers cannot do: Talk about the importance of the work that's been carried out. Be supportive and encouraging of staff. Allow flexible schedules if you can, because many in the "sandwich generation" are caring for both elderly family members and growing children.
6. Celebrate out loud: Whether you've hit a goal in your capital campaign, honored a stellar volunteer, or hired a new manager – make sure that the community hears about it. If you don't toot your own horn, there won't be any music, so make sure you're getting your stories out in the local press and on your website.
7. When you're hunting for that next leader, look beyond the résumé: While experience, education and background are important, the more critical qualities are their character, values, personality, and passion for the work. The impact of making a bad hire at the top of your organization can be devastating. While the costs of losing a "normal" employee are high enough, a 2012 study by the Center For American Progress found that the cost of losing an executive is astronomical — up to 213 percent of the employee's salary. And that doesn't take into consideration the damage the wrong hire can do to team morale, to your operations, and to your image and standing in the community.
Welcome to 2018! Make it a great year!

2018 could be a breakthrough year for so-called "post-cable" networks (PCNs), channels distributed via over-the-top streaming platforms rather than through the traditional pay-TV ecosystem.
Edelman Digital, in its 2018 trends report for brands and marketers, wrote that these niche networks, widely distributed on social platforms and OTT services, are poised to take marketshare from legacy players, as more and more consumers cut or trim the cord.
The term "post-cable network" was reportedly coined by Jon Steinberg, the founder and CEO of Cheddar -- fitting, since Cheddar is one of the most widely distributed post-cable channels. Other services highlighted by Edelman include Tastemade and the male-focused Barstool Sports.
Edelman's report also provides guidance for brands about how to best tap into the rise of these new networks.
In the case of Cheddar, Steinberg said at an Interactive Advertising Bureau conference earlier this year that he expected his channel to be available to every major OTT service by mid-2018. The value proposition is simple: while traditional cable channels demand that OTT suppliers pay them a monthly carriage fee (much like traditional pay-TV providers do), Cheddar and others offer their channel for free, instead opting to split advertising revenues.
For Cheddar, the result is wide distribution and a chance for its editorial and advertiser content to reach a wide audience. For OTT suppliers, the result is free content that bulks up channel lineups.

Intellectual Property Agreement
In order to comply with federal regulations, the University of Tennessee is requiring all faculty, staff, and student employees who work on federally funded projects review and electronically sign an agreement to the Statement of Policy on Patents, Copyrights, and Other Intellectual Property (UT Board Policy BT0024)
Visit https://ipa.tennessee.edu/ to review and sign the policy.
Failure to review and sign the policy will result in your being ineligible to work on federally funded projects.
The federal government issued a final rule May 14, 2018 amending the regulations that implement the Bayh-Dole Act, also known as the Government Patent Policy Act of 1980, which was enacted largely to stimulate economic and entrepreneurial activity by promoting the commercialization of inventions stemming from federally funded research.
In addition to requiring written agreements regarding inventions from employees, the new rule, among other changes, clarifies certain definitions, reduces compliance burdens, addresses co-inventions between funding recipients and federal agencies, and simplifies the electronic reporting process.
In order to comply with this new legal requirement, the university is requiring that all current faculty, staff, and student employees review and electronically sign an agreement to the Statement of Policy on Patents, Copyrights, and Other Intellectual Property, UT Board Policy BT0024, by August 31. The policy, which has been in place since 1984, is not changing. This is the only time you will need to electronically sign an acknowledgment of and agreement to the policy.
New employees will complete the process during onboarding.
If you have questions about the policy, contact Stacey Patterson, vice president for research, outreach, and economic development, at vpresearch@tennessee.edu.

So the problem is when I unmarshal I'm only getting one of the HostSystemIdentification structs in the result instead of the full array. How do I fix this?
Here is a go playground with the problem reduced: http://play.golang.org/p/5uRJ6Eu8jK

A: Since you have multiple top-level entities in the string, you must create a xml.Decoder and call its Decode method many times. See http://play.golang.org/p/_1a77YGLoX
package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "encoding/xml"
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "log"
)

type HostSystemIdentificationInfo []struct {
    IdentiferValue string `xml:"identifierValue"`
    IdentiferType  struct {
        Label   string `xml:"label"`
        Summary string `xml:"summary"`
        Key     string `xml:"key"`
    } `xml:"identifierType"`
}

func main() {
    d := xml.NewDecoder(bytes.NewBufferString(VV))
    for {
        var t HostSystemIdentificationInfo
        err := d.Decode(&t)
        if err == io.EOF {
            break
        }
        if err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }
        fmt.Println(t)
    }
}

const VV = `<HostSystemIdentificationInfo xsi:type="HostSystemIdentificationInfo">
  <identifierValue> unknown</identifierValue>
  <identifierType>
    Asset Tag
    Asset tag of the system
    <key>AssetTag</key>
  </identifierType>
</HostSystemIdentificationInfo>
<HostSystemIdentificationInfo xsi:type="HostSystemIdentificationInfo">
  <identifierValue>Dell System</identifierValue>
  <identifierType>
    OEM specific string
    OEM specific string
    <key>OemSpecificString</key>
  </identifierType>
</HostSystemIdentificationInfo>
<HostSystemIdentificationInfo xsi:type="HostSystemIdentificationInfo">
  <identifierValue>5[0000]</identifierValue>
  <identifierType>
    OEM specific string
    OEM specific string
    <key>OemSpecificString</key>
  </identifierType>
</HostSystemIdentificationInfo>
<HostSystemIdentificationInfo xsi:type="HostSystemIdentificationInfo">
  <identifierValue>REDACTED</identifierValue>
  <identifierType>
    Service tag
    Service tag of the system
    <key>ServiceTag</key>
  </identifierType>
</HostSystemIdentificationInfo>`

A: The XML parser expects a well-formed XML document with a single top-level element.  It's reading the first element, assumes that is the whole document, and stops there.
Start from the parent element of the HostSystemIdentificationInfo elements and unmarshal that instead:
<whatever>
    <HostSystemIdentificationInfo .../>
    <HostSystemIdentificationInfo .../>
    <HostSystemIdentificationInfo .../>
</whatever>

type HostSystemIdentificationInfo struct {
    IdentifierValue string
    // ...
}

type whatever struct {
    Info []HostSystemIdentificationInfo `xml:"HostSystemIdentificationInfo"`
}

(if necessary, wrap the XML in a fake top-level element).
See the later comments on Golang marshal dynamic xml element name.
