Opening of Battersea Power Station by Wilkinson Eyre
04/11/2022. [LON] UK
Architectural practice Wilkinson Eyre unveiled the refurbished Battersea Power Station in London, almost 40 years after the building was decommissioned.
The former power station, which now contains more than 100 shops, 46,000 square meters of office space for the technology brand Apple and 254 flats, was officially opened to the public on 14 October.

Originally designed by British architect Giles Gilbert Scott, Battersea Power Station on the River Thames originally opened in the 1930s and was later extended to create its distinctive four-stacked form. Following its dismantling in the 1970s, between 1975 and 1983, the building stood empty for almost 30 years before WilkinsonEyre redeveloped it as the centerpiece of a new commercial and residential quarter in Battersea.
WilkinsonEyre's project proposed a refurbishment that would integrate the new use programs with a focus on retaining the edict's identity and recovering as many of the power station's original Grade II listed spaces and materials as possible.
"The main architectural response was to introduce a rich mix of uses that employ the spaces appropriately. At the same time, we were keen that visitors would always be aware of the historic fabric and that they were in a unique space. Thus, the introduction of the suspended office accommodation within the Boiler House that allows the north and south elevations to be seen from inside, and preserves views up to the towering chimneys". "At other key points throughout the building, the new structure is stepped back to allow the original spaces to breathe and tell their story."
- WilkinsonEyre director Sebastien Ricard.
WilkinsonEyre has respected the original features of the historic London building, opening some of the most important and interesting rooms in the building to the public for the first time, such as the turbine hall and boiler room.
"It has been a privilege to restore and transform this iconic building, not only saving and celebrating the original features but creating interventions which bring the structure alive again. I'm excited that these incredible volumes – the Turbine Halls and Boiler House – will, for the first time, be open to all. We've taken great inspiration from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in everything from the drama and scale right through to individual material choices and I hope this is reflected in the experience of residents and visitors."
-Sebastien Ricard, Director
Description of project by WilkinsonEyre
WilkinsonEyre are the architects of the major restoration and repurposing of the iconic Grade II* listed Battersea Power Station. The designs of new and restored features are consistent with and sympathetic to Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's masterpiece, with the chimneys and turbine halls remaining the dominant features of the building.
Retaining the Power Station's sense of scale and visual drama is key to the project and is achieved through features such as full-height voids behind the southern and northern entrances, a vast central atrium, and the unobstructed turbine halls which have become retail gallerias.
The architectural interventions respect the integrity of the historic landmark while creating new events spaces, shops, restaurants and cafés, large open-plan office spaces, and a series of Sky Villas positioned around rooftop garden squares above the Boiler House and Turbine Halls.
Originally designed in the 1930s by the UK's renowned architect, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, Battersea Power Station historically provided one-fifth of London's electricity, supplying some of the capital's most recognisable landmarks including the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace, before being decommissioned in 1983. It's best known for featuring on the cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals, on which it was photographed with the group's inflatable pig floating between the chimneys.
The residential elements are a mixture of new build apartments and villas, and conversion units located within the existing fabric of the Power Station. The accommodation occupies both Switch House West and Switch House East, on either side of the Power Station, as well as centrally on top of the Boiler House roof, framing an open landscaped garden square.
Residents of the converted Switch House homes enter the building through landscaped piazzas at ground level, while the Boiler House villas are accessed via a glass lift between the structural girders of the former wash towers, the iconic chimneys visible above.
The properties have a variety of layouts and sizes depending on their location in the building, responding organically to this unique address. Battersea welcomed its first residents in May 2021.
By opening up the magnificently restored Turbine Halls to the public for the first time, the power station has become one of London's most exciting retail destinations. Through the preservation of the existing fabric and finishes, the major volumes within the building are now exploited to best advantage. Spanning over three levels of specially designed galleries, a wide array of restaurants, shops and event spaces create a vibrant and positive atmosphere throughout the day.
The Power Station's original Control Rooms with their different period styling have also been fully restored. Control Room A is set to become a unique events space and Control Room B has been transformed into a new all-day bar concept, where patrons will be able to get up close to the original dials and controls.
The Power Station will be host to a number of entertainment venues cementing its position as one of London's go-to leisure destinations, including the Cinema at the Power Station.
Set across six floors within the upper Boiler House, the office space is attracting the cream of international creative tenants interested in new ways of working, open plan spaces and an industrial aesthetic. Apple are the largest tenant occupying more than 46,000m² across six floors.
An enormous atrium at the heart of the space, together with others at the north and south entrances, filters light to all office floors while allowing views of the chimneys above.
Chimney Lift
Lift 109 is a glazed elevator car experience that carries visitors up to the top of the building's 50m northwest chimney. Carrying up to 30 passengers, it will emerge 109m above the ground, to reveal 360-degree views across London. The attraction will be open to the public as well as be available for private events; the experience is rounded off with an exhibition on the Power Station's history in Turbine Hall A.

The Global White Lion Protection Trust
A leader in community-based conservation
The Global White Lion Protection Trust is a registered NPO/Public Benefit Organisation situated in a protected area of nearly 4,400 acres of endemic bushveld. The land was acquired by the White Lion Trust, which has re-introduced captive bred White Lions into their natural habitat in a carefully phased, ground-breaking scientific program. The White Lions have integrated with wild golden lions, and our three prides now roam freely in their ancestral heritage lands.
Founded in 2002 by Linda Tucker after nearly ten years of intensive research into both the scientific and cultural significance of the White Lions, the Global White Lion Protection Trust has built up a strong and consistent record of creating mutual benefits for Lions, Land and People. The White Lion Trust continues to bring to the world important scientific data and leads calls for the legal protection of Panthera Leo, particularly the critically endangered sub-species we refer to as The White Lion.
The White Lions
A global heritage
The White Lions are a genetic rarity of Panthera Leo and appeared in only one place on earth – in the Timbavati and Kruger regions of the UNESCO-declared Kruger to Canyons Biosphere (K2C). Their conservation significance within this wildlife ecosystem is matched by their cultural value to the Tsonga and Sepedi communities, supported by other indigenous authorities around the globe.
Today, however, after six decades of forced removals from their endemic habitat, most White Lions are held captive in zoos and circuses worldwide. Commercial trophy hunting of lions may be ethically and scientifically indefensible, but legal loopholes mean that it is still practiced right here on our borders. Lions – including White Lions – may be commercially hunted in their natural habitat or, even worse, speed bred in captivity to become victims of the notorious "Canned Hunting" industry. Right now, there are hundreds of White Lions in captivity but less than 13 in the wilds of their endemic habitat.
Over the course of two decades, The White Lion Trust has implemented a multi-level strategy which celebrates culture, advances social learning, uplifts the local living economy and revives the biodiversity and dignity of human life and wildlife. This LionHearted Leadership™ model is inspiring revival beyond mere survival. It is partnering with like-hearted people and organisations to restore health and prosperity to the human world as well as abundance and security to the natural kingdom.
Whether this means upgrading our fencing system to protect the White Lions and other animals under our guardianship from persistent poachers, acquiring more land for the benefit of our prides, supporting local education programs or developing innovative observation and tracking systems for the daily scientific research that is so intrinsic to our project, we strive always for excellence knowing that the work we do is essential for the ultimate survival of our entire ecology.

Home → Проекты → Our company filmed the video special for the opening of the "Tekhnograd" educational and recreational complex at VDNKh
The video was to demonstrate the "Tekhnograd" educational complex at work, to show the uniqueness of its services and to draw the target audience's attention. The video was designed to be attractive to kids, teenagers and also their parents as "Tekhnograd" is not only an educational facility but also a perfect place for family entertainment.
When the video was being filmed, the complex was still in the final stages of construction.
Our writers have developed a script, which can be divided into two parts: the first part reflects the way teenagers learn professional skills and the second one is dedicated to the possibilities for family fun at "Tekhnograd". For the scenes, which could not be filmed in the actual interiors, we made a 3D rendering and shot in chroma key.
The shoot time was very limited; we only had 3 days for preparations. Within that timeframe, we had to put together a film crew and all the necessary equipment, as well as make storyboards. Additionally, we had audition actors, find costumes and stage props, and design a 3D space for certain scenes as the complex was under construction at the time.
The filming took 3 days. We were allowed to bring the chroma key to the building instead of having to shoot in a studio in order to make the filming process as fast as possible. We used the Red Dragon KIT camera – it gives you 4K resolution, a clean and crisp image and contributes to setting a special mood.
In the final stages of the project, our supervisors integrated the image filmed on the chroma key into the CGI interiors, creating an animated bumper, visual effects, and infographics designed strictly in accordance with complex's brand and color grading.

Some Trump loyalists are too controversial to serve in the president's administration, but they're not too controversial to work for his reelection campaign or supporting outside groups.
A rash of hires in recent weeks show that President Donald Trump's reelection is so far acting much like his first campaign: valuing loyalty to Trump over experience or qualifications.
Trump's reelection campaign just this week hired the president's former personal aide, Johnny McEntee, who was escorted off White House grounds last Friday. McEntee, according to the Wall Street Journal, is under investigation for financial problems related to online gambling and mishandling of his taxes. According to a campaign press release, which praised him as "outstanding" and a "proven leader," McEntee will be serving as senior adviser for campaign operations.
And an outside group supporting the president's agenda, America First Policies, also announced Thursday it was adding Carl Higbie as director of advocacy. Higbie, a former Navy SEAL, was forced to resign from his role as chief of external affairs for the Corporation for National and Community Service after CNN published previous racist and sexist comments he had made. In 2013, Higbie said "the black race" had "lax" values and that black women think "breeding is a form of government employment."
Higbie has apologized for his comments.
Asked about his hiring and whether the group had reviewed his remarks, a spokesperson for the group, Erin Montgomery, said in an email: "We've all said things we've regretted--but we apologize, learn from our mistakes, and move on. As a former U.S. Navy SEAL with two tours of duty in Iraq, Carl Higbie risked his life for the better part of a decade to protect the freedoms of all Americans. He's been a warrior on and off the battlefield — a loyal fighter for policies that will help put all Americans first. As we said in our press announcement, we believe Carl will be an invaluable addition to our team."
Earlier on Thursday, America First Policies highlighted his military experience in their announcement about his hiring.
The group also has Sheriff Dave Clarke on its payroll. Clarke has been strongly criticized for his tenure overseeing Milwaukee County Jail, during which prosecutors believe an inmate died of dehydration after not being given water for a week. Clarke, who had said he had been offered a job with the Department of Homeland Security, didn't end up in the administration after CNN reported he plagiarized parts of his master's thesis.
Clarke has already made thousands of dollars from America First Policies.
A source close to the president said he wasn't surprised that the campaign and America First had made those hires, calling them "soft landings" for people who are always going to stay in the fold.
Typically controversial hires could upset donors, but two sources who regularly talk to Trump donors said those writing big checks are too preoccupied by other things at the moment — the midterms and major policy shifts coming from the White House on trade — to worry about these hires.
Plus, sources close to the campaign and president say, this is still Trump world: There's no telling who will still be on the payroll come next month, to say nothing of 2020.


The tenth commandment reads as follows: "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's" (Exodus 20:17). This is simple enough to understand – don't envy your neighbor for what God has given him – but it can be hard to follow. Our daughter Elizabeth really struggles with this one. Elizabeth will be playing away, happy as can be, but as soon as her sister Anna grabs a new toy, Elizabeth quickly decides she wants that same toy. Elizabeth makes her wishes known very clearly to Anna (and to all) and is not satisfied until she has that toy. Perhaps you have toddler like our precious Elizabeth who struggles with envy. This doesn't surprise us when it comes from a child, but how often do we "grown up" Christians struggle with this same sin? Even pastors, if we were honest, would admit that we too struggle with envy at times. As we encounter fellow pastors with larger churches, the sin of envy is always lurking nearby.
Small church pastors (like myself) can be prone to this, but I have also learned that larger church pastors also struggle with envy and covetousness. There is always someone with a bigger or more fruitful church that we compare ourselves to. Where Brown's words are particularly helpful is in his reminder that we will all give an account to the Lord. The writer of Hebrews tells us "Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account" (Hebrews 13:17). One day, each pastor-shepherd will stand and give an account before God as to how he led, fed, cared for, and protected the flock God entrusted to him. Whether your church is 50, or 500, or 5000, the responsibility is monumental. This is why the small church – big church measuring stick is not always helpful. The business of soul-care has eternal ramifications and this is what makes pastoral ministry so challenging but at the same time very rewarding.
Rather than focusing on how big our friend's church is (and how small our church is), may we commit ourselves to pray for our brethren in the ministry. Rejoice in how God is blessing and working in your friend's church and remember that he desperately needs your prayers. He will stand before God to give an account. Along with that, commit yourself to caring for the flock of God entrusted to you. This is a stewardship like no other stewardship, and only the deepest commitment to God's people in your midst will do.

Q: How to avoid networkonmainthread exception WITHOUT using asynctask I am having issues with networking being very slow.. For testing purposes, I tried to cut out asynctask completely with Android 4.0.4 and of course I need to avoid my network calls on the main thread or I get the networkNotOnMainThread exception.. So I wrapped my call in a thread and I am STILL getting this error.  What the heck is wrong here??

User Account method.. I don't think it's even part of the problem.
public static JSONObject getJSONUserAccount(Context ctx) {
        SharedPreferences accountSettings = PreferenceManager
                .getDefaultSharedPreferences(ctx);
        String nUsername = accountSettings.getString("username", "tester");
        String nPassword = accountSettings.getString("password", "password");
        JSONObject JSONUser = new JSONObject();
        try {
            JSONUser.put("password", nPassword);
            JSONUser.put("username", nUsername);
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return JSONUser;
    }

I am baffled and this must be something new in ICS because this all worked in earlier versions of android.  Am I really forced to used AsyncTask?  I just can't believe that.

A: You're calling run() on the thread object instead of start(). Calling run() just executes your thread procedure on the main thread.
The line goes
t.run();

in the very end. Should be
t.start();

Nizhegorodskiy Infantry
Hierarchical Path: Seven Years War (Main Page) >> Armies >> Russian Army >> Nizhegorodskiy Infantry
3.2 NCOs
The Nizhegoródskiy Regiment was formed in 1708-1709 when Peter the Great reorganized the Russian infantry regiments and renamed each of them as per a city or province of his empire.
At the end of the War of the Austrian Succession, in 1748, the regiment was part of the Russian army sent to assist Austria and who marched from Moscow to the Rhine.
From 1740 to 1756, the regiment took up its winter-quarters in the area of Mittau (present-day Jelgava) in Courland.
During the Seven Years' War, the regiment was under the nominal command of:
from February 28 1748 : Colonel Johann von Ceve Manteuffel (major-general at the beginning of the Seven Years' War) , assisted by Lieutenant-Colonel Leonitev Barabanov
from 1762 : Jakov von Brandt
During the Seven Years' War, the regiment was under the effective command of:
from 1757 to June 1759: Ivan von Helvig (in 1759 became commander of Königsberg)
from June 27 1759 to September 1761: Colonel von Budenbrock (Major Koriagin assumed command until his arrival)
from October 7 1761 to 1763: Colonel Baron von Asch (Lieutenant-Colonel Sitin assumed command until his arrival)
In 1756, the regiment contributed the third company of its third battalion to the creation of the 1st Grenadier. Without this company, the regiment now consisted of 3 bns and 2 grenadier companies for a total of 2,626 men. It was stationed in Courland.
In 1757, the regiment took part in the campaign in East Prussia under Field-Marshal Count Apraxin. It was at the siege of Memel under Brigadier Treyden. On August 30, at the Battle of Gross-Jägersdorf, it was part of Fermor's 1st Division and belonged to Lubomirsky's Brigade. When the Russian army deployed, it was kept in reserve behind the centre. In this battle, the regiment lost 5 officers, 15 grenadiers and 16 musketeers killed; and 8 officers and an unknown number of privates wounded. It took up its winter-quarters in Memel as part of Riazanov's Brigade. By November 3, the regiment counted (including various detachments):
Staff (4 officers
Junior staff (20 officers)
2nd rate officers, NCOs, musicians and non-combatants (382 men)
Grenadiers (452 men)
Musketeers (1,075 men)
157 horses for baggage
27 horses for the regimental artillery
During its march to its winter-quarters, the regiment lost 10 officers and NCO, 61 grenadiers and 187 musketeers.
In January 1758, 2 battalions of the regiment took part in the Russian invasion of East Prussia where they were attached to Jakovlev's Vanguard. After the capture Königsberg, the regiment went to Elbing (present-day Elbąlg) where it remains till April. By April 3, the regiment consisted of 3 staff officers, 18 lower staff officers and 1,299 men (plus 46 sick). One officer and 13 men were commandeered to the secret howitzers service. Around mid-November, the regiment took up its winter-quarters in Dirschau (present-day Tczew) and Mewe (present-day Gniew) in northern Poland where it formed part of Volkonsky's Brigade attached to the 1st Division.
At the beginning of the campaign of 1759, the regiment was attached to Villebois' Division and consisted of 3 staff officers, 23 lower staff officers, 1,634 men, 289 horses for baggage and 24 horses for artillery. On July 23, the regiment took part in the Battle of Paltzig where it was attached to the 2nd division commanded by Villebois. It was deployed in Leontiev's Brigade on the left of the second line of the infantry centre between Voronejskiy Infantry and Bjeloserskiy Infantry. In this battle, the regiment lost only 7 men wounded. A few week later, on August 12, it fought at the bloody Battle of Kunersdorf where it was deployed in the second line of the centre between Bjeloserskiy Infantry and Novgorodskiy Infantry, in the 3rd Division as part of Leontiev's Brigade. In this battle, the regiment lost 5 officers and 150 soldiers heavily wounded; 14 officers and 323 soldiers lightly wounded; 13 officers and 111 soldiers killed and 135 men missing. After the battle, the regiment counted only 627 men. On August 16, along with Uglitskiy Infantry, the regiment under Bekkendorf escorted the wounded and throphies to Posen (present-day Poznañ). The regiment took its winter-quarters in Dirschau (present-day Tczew) in Poland. In October, the regiment numbered 4 staff officers, 21 lower staff officers, 1,527 men, 30 NCO, musicians and non-combatants, and 196 sick and wounded. The regiment received new uniform, 638 recruits and some officers and NCOs.
For the campaign of 1760, the regiment was part of Fermor's 1st Division and consisted of 4 staff officers, 23 junior staff officers, 52 NCO, 1,905 privates (plus 56 in hospital), 275 baggage horses and 21 artillery horses. After mobilization and concentration in Posen, the regiment was attached to Brown's 2nd division. In October, the regiment was in Landsberg (present-day Gorzów Wielkopolski) from where it marched to Friedland with the rest of the division. It took up its winter-quarters in Graudenz (present-day Grudziądz) where it received two 8-pdr unicorns to replace its regimental guns.
For the campaign of 1761, the regiment was attached to the 2nd division under General Prince Aleksander Golicyn. After concentration at Posen, the regiment marched to Silesia with the main army. In October, the regiment followed Buturlin when he returned to Poland and then marched to Pomerania. On November 5, the regiment reached Stargard (present-day Starogard Gdanski). It took its winter-quarters in Thorn (present-day Toruń). By then, the regiment counted only 26 officers in both senior and junior staffs and 995 soldiers.
In 1762, the regiment was attached to Dolgorukov's 3rd Division. It returned to Russia.
Most Russian regular line infantry regiments wore the same uniforms.

Summer uniform in 1757 - Source: Frédéric Aubert
Musketeer black felt tricorne laced white with a white cockade on the left fastened with a copper button
Grenadier until 1759: the M1756 mitre with a brass front plate embossed with trophies of weapons and standards and carrying in its centre the regimental coat of arms surmounted by the Imperial Eagle; a black leather skull-cap and neck guard with brass reinforcements and decorations; and a white wool pompom.
from 1759: the modified M1731 mitre with the brass front plate taken from the M1756 mitre; cloth cap most likely(*) of the same colour as the coat with red turnbacks with white lace (golden for officers) on the seams of the cap and on the edges of the turnbacks; a white wool pompom.
(*)Note: grenadiers still used cloth leftovers after the making of uniforms, and, for example, the grenadiers of the Observation Corps 1st Musketeer used red cloth for both caps and turnbacks.
...for more information on the evolution of the grenadier mitre cap of the Russian infantry, see Russian Line Infantry Uniform
Neckstock black
Coat dark green with 9 copper buttons on the right side on the chest and 9 red trimmed buttonholes, and 2 copper buttons (one on each side) in the small of the back
N.B.: During summer campaigns, the coat was not worn, being left with the baggage. Soldiers carried a cornflower blue cape rolled over the shoulder. Since the waistcoat was red, Russian line infantry appeared to be entirely clad in red.
Collar red
Shoulder Straps none
Lapels none
Pockets none
Cuffs red with 3 copper buttons
Turnbacks red, each fastened with a copper button
Waistcoat long sleeved red waistcoat lined green with 9 copper buttons and 9 red trimmed buttonholes, and with 2 en patte d'oie pockets each with 3 copper buttons and 3 red trimmed buttonholes

NCOs
NCOs wore the same uniform as the troopers but were distinguished by their gold laces on their tricorne, collar, and cuffs.
Most officers wore gold laced tricorne (gold/black pompons) but some officers wore a mitre.
Officer's coat was similar to other rank's but with a gold laced collar and lateral pockets closed by lapels en patte d'oie with 3 golden buttons each. Generally officers wore the coat with opened turnbacks. They also wore white cravates, green breeches and yellow gloves.
Officers carried a musket in action, the use of halberds and spontoons was abandoned.
Officers also carried a sword suspended to a red leather belt.
Officer's cartridge box was edged in gold.
Officer's saddlecloth and holsters were red with round posterior corner, edged with one or two gold stripes (the inner broader), as rank distinction. EPI ciphers on the corner and holsters.
Staff officers wore a black and gold sash.
Line Infantry Fifer Uniform in 1757 - Source: Frédéric Aubert
Line Infantry Drummer Uniform in 1757 - Source: Frédéric Aubert
Drummers wore the same uniform as the troopers with swallow nests on shoulders and braids on cuffs, pockets and collar.
Fifers wore the same uniform as the troopers with braids on cuffs, pockets and collar (no swallow nests on the shoulders).
The Drum Major had a gold edge on his tricorne, and gold braids on cuffs and collar.
Drums were made in copper, the regimental coat of arms engraved in the front, bordered in red and green, green and white cords.
Important notice: Even though our illustrations depict yellow laces, the colour of the braids on the uniforms of the musicians were chosen by the colonel. For instance, it could have been the distinctive colour of the regiment (shown on the ordonnance flag). They were often decorated with red "XXXX" in the middle.
N.B.: During summer campaigns, the green coat was not worn, being left with the baggage. Since the waistcoat was red, Russian line infantry musicians appeared to be entirely clad in red.
The flags measured 1,62 m. x 2,66 m., were fringed in gold and mounted on a 3,35 m. red wooden pole.
Colonel Colour: white field with, in its centre: an Imperial Eagle bearing the regimental arms on a breastplate encircled by the necklace of the St.George's Order. In each corner: a red flame pointing at the centre.
Regimental Colours: sky blue field, in its centre: a gold crown surmounting a gold shield bearing the regimental arms. In each corner: a red flame pointing at the centre.

Dairy producers | ADF releases dairy policies
The national dairy farmer body will press for tighter restrictions around the marketing of milk substitutes to avoid confusion over the perceived health benefits of alternatives.

Australian Dairy Farmers has launched a comprehensive set of national policy statements on the dairy industry intended to influence the 2022 federal election.
ADF wants to see improved labelling and marketing of plant-based alternatives to dairy products that are more truthful and do not mislead the consumer into thinking they are healthier than dairy.
The policy statement asks for the introduction of a voluntary code that restricts the use of the word 'dairy' and, if that is not successful, asks the Federal Government to enforce closer compliance with an international standard on the use of dairy terms.
ADF is concerned some plant-based products are trading off the good name of dairy but without matching nutritional value.
ADF will also be urging political parties to negotiate better international trade agreements to counter a decline in Australia's share of trade.
"International trade barriers and protectionism is a driver of Australian dairy's export market decline,'' the policy statement said.
ADF said Australia was facing trade with countries that subsidised their own farmers and raised trade barriers which disadvantaged Australia.
"It is important that the Australian Government continues to pursue free trade agreements that help the Australian dairy industry diversify and compete in export markets,'' the policy statement said.
"Australia's core value is open and free trade and compliance with international trading rules. This should override any trade and geopolitical tension with any other country."
ADF said Australia's free trade agreement with Japan was the first the Japanese had completed with a major dairy supply partner.
Since then, Japan has completed bilateral agreements with the European Union and United States, as well as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) agreement, which includes New Zealand.
"These agreements with Australia's major dairy competitors have more favourable trading terms than the Australian agreement," ADF said.
The organisation said it was committed to the implementation of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, but it should be delivered to ensure there were no unmanaged and unmitigated third-party impacts from the use of environmental water and negative impacts on regional communities are mitigated.
"Dairy has done much of the heavy lifting in achieving water recovery to date," the policy statement said.
"As we move forward it is critical that the recommendations of the Productivity Commission's Murray-Darling Basin Plan: Five-year assessment and the ACCC's Murray-Darling Water Markets Review are implemented."

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – If the thought of running a 5K – let alone the likes of the Rocky 50K that recently happened in Philly – scares the sneakers off you, this might be the "race" for you.
The Philly 0.0 is coming to town this February, and there's no running involved.
"The Philly 0.0 is the best part of every run, the after party! It's going to be cold outside, not too many runs going on, what better way to bring together runners and non-runners alike to have a good time," the website proclaims.
That's right – this is a "race" that's all about the post-race festivities. All participants have to do is sign up, show up on Feb. 6, and partake in a "ceremonial" simultaneous start and finish at 7:30 p.m.
After that, it's to the celebrations you go.
The sweat-less event is actually all about the "Instant Gratification" festival happening at Xfinity Live, which includes beer, food and live entertainment.
It also apparently features an awards ceremony, although what those awards might be for isn't clear.
Either way, you'll go home with an awesome commemorative t-shirt – which is worth the $35 price tag alone.
And don't hold us to it, but we're willing to bet you'll soon see some "0.0" stickers on cars in the Philly area.

A: The DATE function is used to extract a date from a string, thus it expects you to pass a parameter to it.
If you want to get today's date use the CURRENT_DATE function instead:
(CURRENT_DATE()-Tanggalpjm)+1

Also, your code is vulnerable to SQL Injection. Using regular string concatenation to build queries has been discouraged for many years. Look into how to use SQL Parameters.

Daily What? The Ziegfeld Theater's Lobby Serves As A Museum
by Christopher inoa
Inside the Ziegfeld Theater, one of the only remaining single screen movie theaters left in New York City [2016 update: it's closing soon], is a museum dedicated to its history. The movie palace, one of the last built in the city, currently stands on 141 West 54 street, a two minute walk away from 1341-47 Sixth Avenue, the home of the original Zeigfeld Theater. Beginning on February 2nd, 1927 until it was demolished in 1966, the theater premiered everything from Broadway productions to feature length films.
The original theater, named after Florenz Ziegfeld, who along with William H. Randolph financed the construction of the property, was first used to stage Broadway productions and was a tremendous success until The Great Depression. During its run, Ziegfeld financed dozens of productions, most of them starring a group of chorus girls known as the "Ziegfeld Girls." Inspired from the Folies Bergère in Paris, classic Hollywood actresses such as Paulette Goddard, Norma Shearer, and Barbara Stanwyck began their careers as Ziegfeld Girls before going to Hollywood. Other notable actresses such as Joan Crawford and Lucille Ball, were rejected when they auditioned for a spot
Glass cases along the walls of the Zeigfeld's downstairs lobby all the way up to the theater lobby contain numerous pieces of memorabilia, including outfits worn by the Ziegfeld Girls. One highlight is from the most famous and emotionally complex Ziegfeld Girl, Lillian Lorraine. Known as the "Ziegfeld Diva," Lorraine had a relationship with Ziegfeld himself, who discovered her. Their relationship was anything but sane, as her behavior and affairs (while Ziegfeld continued the affair through two marriages) gave the tabloids plenty of headlines. Her career faded in the early 20's, but her legacy lived on as she was the basis for characters in plays such as Gentleman Prefer Blondes and the 1936 feature film The Great Ziegfeld.
A few weeks ago, The Hollywood Reporter talked to James Dolan, owner of The New York Knicks and CEO of Cablevision, which owns the property. During the interview, Dolan stated that the theater was losing money and that the days of the Manhattan movie palace were numbered. Representatives from Cablevision responded the next day, stating that the Ziegfeld would "remain open for the foreseeable future", which would put us at ease, if we didn't know that their lease is up in three years.
To find out which film classic he would love to see just once inside the Ziegfeld, contact the author on twitter @ChrisLInoa

Meet the Composers: Tchaikovsky
Leave a Comment / Composers, Essays, Tchaikovsky / July 13, 2018 October 21, 2021
Meet Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Пётр Ильич Чайковский for those who can read it). A flamboyant orchestral composer, he is best remembered for the range of his dynamics: the use of actual cannons in his 1812 Overture to his gentle The Nutcracker and heart wrenching Swan Lake.
Born in 1840 in a small town in Russia, Tchaikovsky grew up in the peak of Romanticism. He began piano at a young age and quickly proved his talent with the instrument. His parents sent him to the Imperial School of Jurisprudence in St. Petersburg to give him a leg up. But, due to this separation and the death of his mother from cholera when he was 14, he suffered much emotional trauma that he carried for the rest of his life.
It is said that he wrote his first composition in memory of his mother: a waltz.
As he grew, he continued to practice music, but it wasn't until he was much older that he or his father realized he had skill and love enough to be a professional composer or performer.
He went on to compose orchestral works, operas, and even ballets, and all of his works helped shape the music we know and love today.
Although many classical music students remember him as the guy who put cannons and hammers in his orchestral works, he also wrote touching works.
Swan Lake is based off the tale The Stolen Veil, a tragic tale of love that can only be shared in death (no, you don't get spoiler warnings if the story is centuries old!). The most memorable theme comes from when the Swan Queen Odette and Prince Siegfried meet, and Odette transforms from a swan into a woman.
It's a haunting theme that begins and ends in melancholy. It grows from a minor melody into one more triumphant (as she transforms) and then sings again of her imprisonment.
It is of note that he also created an orchestral suite from some of the pieces in the ballet in order to "save this music from oblivion." This may have been from the poor first reception of the work. Regardless, it's one of the most beloved romantic works of all time.
Although one may argue that true artists remain separate from their work, perhaps Tchaikovsky shared similar feelings. Nonetheless, the story and the theme continue to permeate the media.

Sisal is a natural fiber. It is very hard in nature. The botanical name of sisal is Agava sisalana. It is produced in the different parts of the world. Sisal fiber is generally used for making rope, twine, paper, cloth, wall covering and dartboards. The sisal producing countries are earning huge foreign currency by exporting sisal fiber. Sisal was first cultivated in Brazil in a broad scale. First spinning mills for sisal fiber also established in Brazil. In the present day, Brazil is the top sisal producing country of the world.
Although sisal is a natural fiber but it has positive and negative side for the environment. Sisal farming causes environmental degradation. The effluent from the sisal degradation process is harmful for the environment. In Tanzania, they are planning to use this waste as bio-fuel.
So, that's all about the sisal fiber producing country.

In the spring of 2015, we sent out a request for proposals to illustrate our new children's history and tour of the Lamprey River. We asked for a sample that included chickadees that serve as guides, people, and places along the river. The honors art class at Newmarket took on the challenge of submitting sample illustrations for the text that we provided. None of the students submitted an actual proposal, but their creative interpretations are definitely worth sharing. We hope you will agree!


A long cherished wish of Africa enthusiasts came true in September 2004: The former private homes of actor Hardy Krüger and his farm manager, Jim Mallory, are at the centre of an extremely comfortable new lodge located at the edge of Arusha National Park, close to the setting of the legendary movie "HATARI!" and overlooking the world famous Mount Kilimanjaro and its neighbouring dormant volcano, Mount Meru.
Hatari Lodge is located adjoining one of Africa's most beautiful and diverse national parks, where the worlds highest free standing mountain, Kilimanjaro rises majestically 5,892 metres into the blue skies above. Hatari Lodge is situated in a malaria free altitude above 5.000 ft on the northern edge of Arusha National Park, with its unspoilt views of lakes and craters, its magical rain forests, and the 4,566 metre high dormant volcano Mount Meru, rising elegantly in the background. At the very heart of this "luxury bush hotel", managed by Marlies, Jörg and their staff, are the traditional farm buildings, which were used by the legendary actor Hardy Krüger, and his former manager, Jim Mallory. Views from the Hatari terrace and the walkway out onto the seasonal Momella swamp frame all these wonders and spectacles.
Hatari Lodge consists of three buildings beautifully situated in acacia woodland with breathtaking views onto the Momella swamp, rich with wildlife, and across to the majestic Kilimanjaro.
The quite unique "Hatari-Lodge" offers 8 extremely comfortably furnished rooms, each with an open fireplace and a spacious bathroom en suite.Each room has been lovingly decorated by Marlies in a retro style, evoking the 60's and 70's - the time of "Hatari!" and the beginning of safaris in Tanzania.
The oldest building serves as a large central living and dining room where guests will enjoy Johnny's delicious cuisine. Here you will find a cosy lounge area and bar with a veranda and viewing deck, as well as a library. Sitting around the open fireplace, which Krüger and Mallory enjoyed so much guests are entertained with information and stories about the flora, fauna and history of Arusha National Park.
The breakfast terrace, bordered by sweet smelling acacias, as well as the viewing platform onto the Momella swamps offers impressive views of Mt. Meru, Kilimanjaro and the wildlife from close by. Here you enjoy classic sunsets over the snows of Kilimanjaro.
Hatari Lodge is situated only 45 km from Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), approximately a 1-hour drive. Daily direct connection with KLM from Amsterdam to KIA and a once a week with Thomas Cook/Condor directly from Frankfurt to KIA. More direct options from Europe with Swiss, British Airways, KLM and Kenya Airways to Nairobi and Dar es Salaam with comfortable connecting flights on local airlines.
Hatari offers transfers to the Lodge and an additional benefit for late arrivals (KLM) will be the night drive through Arusha National Park.
Hatari Lodge is situated on the border of a National Park and has no real physical address.


Most of us know, car airbags are among the greatest protective steps that help reduce the impact of an accident on the passengers.
In every automobile, improved with airbags, there is a sensor having the capability to discover a crash. In the event of a crash, the sensor sends an electric signal to the airbag storage. The signal reaches an igniter compound which gets heated to result in the decomposition of sodium inside the upper body.
Moreover, the warmth results in the filling of the airbag using nitrogen. All this happens in a small interval of 0.03 minutes, and within 0.05 minutes of the crash, the inflated airbag produces a buffer between the people of the car and the steering column/dashboard.
If someone who had faced a lot of injuries during an accident due to Takata airbag deployment then he/she can file a lawsuit at takataairbagrecalllawsuit.com/takata-airbag-lawsuits.asp.
While its been pointed out at the decrease in casualty rate Due to the Presence of airbags, let us research deeper to understand a few other advantages of airbags.
Airbags wind up being extremely helpful in protecting the passengers from any significant head, neck or spinal injury by supplying these components with decent cushioning.
Airbags limit the distance the brain of the passenger hurls forward, thus lowering the likelihood of injury to the brain.

Dad told his 9-year-old daughter to open a can of beans on her own otherwise she would be fasting
Many times for unthinkable bad behaviors of parents towards their children.
The example of this dad is no exception, as he told his hungry 9-year-old daughter to either open a can of beans on her own or fast. The little girl was trying for 6 hours! When her father became proud of his "pedagogical" methods on the internet, he came under fire from angry users. Justified…
It all started when the 9-year-old girl expressed the desire to his father to prepare food for her because she was hungry. But instead of meeting his child's needs, he gave her a can of beans and told her to either open it on her own or fast.
The girl after 6 hours of effort, managed to open the can and eat. The unprosecuted father posted the incident on the internet stating that this means being a good parent. His post was deleted when he was attacked by other parents, who accused him of indifference!
Twitter users nicknamed him "Bean Dad" and the whole incident caused a split on social media as to whether it was pedagogical to try to make your child independent through such controversial methods.
Some agreed that this dad's attitude was a lesson in "autonomy". A little drawn in our opinion!
