Halloween is upon us and if you think your hearing things go bump in the night, you may be right. According to the Texas Society of Paranormal Investigators, or TSPI for short, Hurricane Ike did more than flood Orange County and destroy property; it has also stirred up the spirits.
Don Dennis, founder of the group says recently investigated homes in the area are reporting increased activity since the storm.
It is common for activity to increase after repairs, remodeling or the severe weather recently experienced by the area.
TSPI is planning to re-investigate the homes claiming an escalation of incidents since Ike.
One homeowner in a historic neighborhood in Orange, Sherry C. has become frightened at times in her home with the increase of activity.
"It calls out our names, we hear voices and now it's moving the furniture," she said.
Last week she was in the kitchen and walked to the living room for a minute. When she walked back down the hall, a small table was in the middle of the floor. The candles on top of it were not disturbed.
The table has moved on her daughter also. Last week when a friend was over, they were standing in the hall near a mirror, when something ran by them very fast.
Sherry said recently her daughter heard humming while she was asleep. "When she opened her eyes, it stopped, and started again when she closed them," she said.
Recently the family has started getting sweet smells just for a few seconds at a time. Actually that is something investigators had experienced when at her home a couple of months ago.
They feel there are eight spirits in the house, including the man that built it.
Sherry has another group of investigators from Louisiana coming on Nov. 8.
Another homeowner is worried, because it's his children that are experiencing the spirits and it keeps disturbing their sleep, especially their young daughter.
With all the caskets washed up in Hollywood Cemetery, there is no telling what is walking the grounds, disturbed from their eternal slumber.
A woman in Bridge City communicated with whatever is sharing her abode as she prepared for evacuation and was told, "Iek will break Bridge City." (Apparently ghosts can't spell.) She didn't understand it at the time and didn't realize it was so accurate.
She was given this message through what is called "automatic writing." The method is achieved when a pen or pencil is put to paper and the hand is allowed to do whatever it wants, allowing spirits to sometimes spell out messages.
This is not a method TSPI uses in investigations.
They use only scientific methods, attempting to gather hard evidence using digital voice recorders to receive electronic voice phenomena (EVPs), which are disembodied voices that are not heard audibly at the time, but show up on the recordings.
Photographs and videos are another method to document activity. The most common occurrence in photographs is orbs. Disputed by many who claim orbs are just specks of dust or bugs, the round balls are sometimes solid balls of light or they can appear see through. Some think, these are the energy of those that have passed.
Occasionally, but much more rare, images of apparitions are captured, or mists and unexplained shadows.
TSPI always tries to disprove any claims of paranormal activity, as most anomalies can be explained. Sometimes, it can be as simple as I a high electromagnetic field given off by faulty electrical wiring or an appliance. High EMF readings can affect the way people feel over time, giving them "creepy" feelings, or making them think someone is in the room with them. Noises could be creaking floor boards, car headlights flashing on the wall could be mistaken for spirits; drafty windows could be responsible for cold spots. All of these things are looked at to find possible explanations. Only when everything else is ruled out is a home declared haunted.
Recently, Channel 12 followed the group to a cemetery investigation and broadcast the story Thursday, Oct. 30, at the 5, 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts.
Nov. 15, the group will go to the legendary Myrtles Plantation, reportedly the most hunted house in America. They have high hopes of catching something on their equipment during the night.
Halloween night they are scaring a little fun up for area residents, holding their first scavenger hunt.
It will be a welcome break from the day to day drain, hurricane recovery takes on people. Half the proceeds with be redistributed in cash and prizes. Some of the items collected will be donated to hurricane victims and some of the funds will be used for equipment for the group.
Some of the prizes donated so far are gift certificates from Outback, Olive Garden, Wienerschnitzel, Cinemark Tinsel Town, Hair Cartel and The Great American Cookie Company among others.
There is a $10 fee per person and a mandatory list of five items to be donated being eligible for prizes. Bring a camera, as some of the items are photographs.
Dennis will be on channel 12 Friday morning promoting the scavenger hunt.
For more information, call 769-1457 and leave a message, or show up at Sertino's Friday at 6 p.m. to register if you would live to participate in the scavenger hunt. Hunters must return by 9:30 p.m. with their items for prize distribution at 10 p.m.
If you have a home you feel is haunted and would be interested in an investigation, call the above number, leave a message and someone will get back with you. There is never a charge for an investigation.

What can couples do to improve their likelihood of success through IVF?
CREI fertility specialists have been comprehensively trained to diagnose and treat all male and female causes of infertility, from the most simple to the most complex cases. Not every couple who attempt IVF will have a baby. The care you have can influence your chance of success.
Women's Health Melbourne are proud to partner with Melbourne IVF, achieving the best pregnancy outcomes for the most patients in Victoria in the 2018 released VARTA report.
IVF at the best laboratories is more expensive. This is because we invest in the best technology, research and people power to achieve the best care and outcomes for our patients.
IVF success is much more easily won using younger more fertile eggs. As a woman ages beyond 35 years, egg quality and quantity decline dramatically. Embryo quality does too and it usually takes more IVF treatments to find the golden egg and golden embryo that will become your baby. Making the decision to turn to IVF in as timely a manner as practical can improve a couple's probability of success.
If you are attempting parenthood for the first time at an older age, consider embryo banking if your dream is to have more than one child. For many couples who succeed in becoming parents through IVF, this can make the difference as to whether they will ultimately be able to have more than one child. This is because your chance of IVF success rapidly declines in the necessary interval between the conception of your baby and your next attempted pregnancy.
If you have suffered IVF failure with multiple treatments resulting in poor outcomes due to age related low egg and embryo quality and number, using eggs from a younger egg donor might be the best answer to help you have a baby.

« Ocean acidification affects parameters of immune response and extracellular pH in tropical sea urchins Lytechinus variegatus and Echinometra luccunter
OA-ICC Training Course on Ocean Acidification, 5-10 September 2016, Ensenada, Mexico »
How long can the oceans soak up CO2?
Published 21 September 2016 Media coverage Closed
For now, the world's oceans are sucking up so much carbon dioxide that it's helping to slow the rate of global warming. But that's expected to change in the future, researchers warned after taking a detailed look at the rate of ocean acidification in the northeast Pacific Ocean.
According to a new study led by oceanographers from MIT and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, that rate that mirrors the increase of carbon dioxide emissions pumped into the atmosphere. Most of the carbon going into the ocean is lingering the upper layers and changing the water chemistry. In the past decade, the average pH has dropped by 0.002 units per year, which is decreasing the availability of aragonite, a mineral needed by many marine species to produce their shells.
"The ocean has been the only true sink for anthropogenic emissions since the industrial revolution," said Sophie Chu, graduate student in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences. "Right now, it stores about a quarter to a third of the anthropogenic emissions from the atmosphere. We're expecting at some point the storage will slow down. When it does, more carbon dioxide will stay in the atmosphere, which means more warming. So it's really important that we continue to monitor this."
Chu and her colleagues have published their results in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. The findings suggest that the northeast Pacific is sensitive to changes in ocean chemistry and CO2 in particular. The region sits at the end of the world's ocean circulation system, where it has collected some of the oldest waters on Earth and accumulated with them a large amount of dissolved inorganic carbon, which is naturally occurring carbon that has been respired by marine organisms over thousands of years.
"This puts the Pacific at this already heightened state of high carbon and low pH," Chu said, explaining that more CO2 in the mix could affect marine species at the base of the food chain, including tiny sea snails called pteropods.
"These species are really sensitive to ocean acidification," she said. "It's harder for them to get enough carbonate to build their shells, and they end up with weaker shells, and have reduced growth rates."
The study was originally planned to analyze how ocean acidification affects the pteropods, but Chu realized that the data they collected could also be used to gauge changes in the ocean's anthropogenic carbon storage. The researchers isolated the anthropogenic carbon buildup in the ocean with a complex climate model.
The total amount of anthropogenic carbon appears to be increasing with each year, but Chu said the rate at which the northeast Pacific has been storing carbon has remained relatively the same since 2001. That means that the region could still have a good amount of "room" to store carbon, at least for the foreseeable future. But already, her team and others are seeing in the acidification trends the ocean's negative response to the current rate of carbon storage.
"It would take hundreds of thousands of years for the ocean to absorb the majority of CO2 that humans have released into the atmosphere," Chu says. "But at the rate we're going, it's just way faster than anything can keep up with."

The word "Upma" means "Salt-and-flour." Upma is prepared in various ways; a little variation will make a difference in flavor... My Amma made Upma only when she was out of Idli batter. My family was not Upma lovers so she was not given due respect.
My liking for Upma started when I was in college, a friend on mine got nice hot Upma in the morning. She shared her mother's recipe; the only difference from my mother's was adding a tomato. Only did I realize a little variation with a tomato could make such a big difference to the taste of Upma.
Last evening I wanted to make something easy and tasty. I had nothing in my refrigerator except carrots and other basic ingredients. I decided to make Upma with some carrots and some frozen peas. Upma with Curd & Pickle- Dinner served.
Heat a pan with a tbsp of ghee. Roast the rawai for few minutes . Keep aside.
Boil the water in a separate pan.
Heat the oil in the pan, add the seasoning in the order given.
Fry the onions, green chillies carrrots and peas.
Add the turmeric powder,salt and the roasted rawai.
Mix well and add the boiling water . Mix quickly. Make sure no lumps are formed. Close the pan, cook for about 5 mts.
Upma can be served with Coconut chutney or Sambhar. We prefer to have it with curd and pickle. Some have it with sugar.
ur recipes was really helpful to me,as iam new to seattle,i didnt know how to ferment idlibatter,curd etc.,tanks for ur posting.i do expect eagerly on more recipes,ideas from u. thanks.
This is the first time i registered to cooking site.This site is amazing with all the dishes and mouth watering to make it at home.I feel very traditional way the cooking methods and easy to understand and feel of ours parents cooking.Cilantro you are doing a great job and the name itself........garnish to learn many items.
Thank you Devi, I appreciate you taking your time in giving your feedback.

My friends Ron and Evelyn McFarland were in town this week from Tennessee. They are making their rounds through China visiting some of the foreign teachers in Wuhan. Ron and I reconnected last fall at my week long Training Class back in the states. We had originally met at Camp Manatawny in Pennsylvania when I was a camper at church camp as a teenager. Mary and Angela helped me by cooking breakfast on the mornings I have classes which was a huge help for me.
Ron and Evelyn were able to meet some of my students and taught one of my classes a lesson on American Government, and about the Checks-and-Balances system of the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branches of government in the states. It was a really neat lesson because he had the students get up in front of the class and play various roles during class.
I had so much fun getting to have them stay with me and meeting some of their friends including their interpreter Samuel Zhao. Samuel is an Art Teacher from Beijing and it was pretty great getting to hang out with friends that share my love of Art. We were able to go to the Hubei Art Museum on day, along with my friend Katy and had a really fun time.
While they were here, we did a little bit of sight seeing including traveling to snack street. 户部巷 (HuBuXiang) is a really famous area of the city for unique foods and snacks like Stinky Tofu, Octopus on a stick, Fried Bananas, Hot Dry Noodles, among others. I tried to be a little adventurous and did try some Fried Octopus Balls which were pretty delicious. Here's a picture of us taking a break in a small coffee shop near the main Snack Street.
Also one of Ron's friends named Shelby gave a presentation for one of the clubs on campus called FMA or the Financial Management Association. They are finance majors who hope to travel abroad after graduation so they all have really good English abilities. Shelby is one of nine (9) children and gave a presentation on what it's like to be homeschooled and to grow up in a big family and contrasted that with China's one child policy. She did a great job and the students asked lots of questions.
Next Post Come To China!!!

Scientist Christopher Lavelle of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, together with a team of researchers from the University of Maryland and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, has successfully shown that boron-coated vitreous carbon foam can be used in the detection of neutrons emitted by radioactive materials — of critical importance to homeland security. Lavelle is lead author of the paper "Demonstration of Neutron Detection Utilizing Open Cell Foam and Noble Gas Scintillation" released today in the journal Applied Physics Letters.
Detecting neutrons is key to counterterrorism activities, such as screening cargo containers, as well as other vital applications in nuclear power instrumentation, workplace safety and industry. The demand for detectors has risen dramatically over the past decade while at the same time the usual detection material, helium-3, has become harder to obtain. An advantage of the approach outlined in the paper is that boron is abundant and relatively low cost compared to helium-3. The use of a coated foam, in particular, disperses the boron evenly throughout the detector volume, increasing efficiency by filling in otherwise empty space.
Lavelle and his colleagues' work builds on a series of experiments conducted with scientists at NIST and the University of Maryland that had demonstrated that a process called noble gas scintillation can be controlled and characterized precisely enough to detect the neutrons emitted by radioactive materials. Scintillation refers to a process where energetic particles produce flashes of light when passing through certain materials, in this case xenon gas. Sensitive light detectors record the rate at which these light flashes occur to measure the presence and intensity of neutrons in the environment.
In a follow-on experiment, the research team obtained samples of "carbon foam" coated with boron carbide and placed them in xenon gas. The boron-10 isotope in the coating readily absorbs neutrons. Following neutron absorption, energetic particles are released into the gas and create flashes of light. In this experiment, researchers determined that neutrons captured deep within the coated foam produce large enough flashes to be detected by light detectors outside the foam. Previously, there had been some doubt as to whether the light flashes would actually escape foam, or if the foam would completely shadow them from the light detector.
The next steps in the series of experiments include investigating other unique detector geometries, such as multiple layers of boron-coated thin films, the use of optically transparent neutron absorbers, and finalizing a design for a potential prototype detector.

Oxfirst Webinar: Balance Requirements for Standard Development Organizations
Our friends at Oxfirst have another exciting webinar scheduled for October 2, 2019 at 1600 to 1700 (British Standard Time) titled, "'Balance' Requirements for Standards Development Organizations: A Debate between Professor Contreras and Professor Larouche."
Here is a description of the webinar:
"Antitrust and Balance of Interests in Standards Development - Lessons from NSS Labs v. Symantec"
The recent decision of the District Court of the Northern District of California, in NSS Labs. v. Symantec sheds light on the requirement that Standard Development Organizations (SDO) achieve a balance of interests in their procedures. Whilst the court ultimately did not rule on this point, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) intervened in the case to insist – correctly in our view – that SDOs must meet that requirement in order to benefit from protection against antitrust liability under the Standard Development Organization Advancement Act (SDOAA).
Here are brief bios of the speakers:
Professor Jorge Contreras
Jorge Contreras is a Presidential Scholar and Professor of law at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. He holds a JD from Harvard Law School, all conferred with honors. Prior to entering academia, Prof. Contreras was a partner in the Boston, London and Washington DC offices of the international law firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr. His current research focuses on intellectual property transactions, standard setting and science policy. He has edited six books and published more than 100 scholarly articles on these topics, and has received numerous awards for his scholarship and teaching. His latest books include the 2-volume edited series, The Cambridge Handbook of Technical Standardization Law (2018, 2019). He has been quoted in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Economist, Washington Post, and Korea Times, has been a guest on NPR, BBC and various televised broadcasts, and his work has been cited favorably by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, European Commission and courts in the U.S. and Europe.
Professor Pierre Larouche
Pierre Larouche (1968) is Professor of Law and Innovation at Université de Montréal, where he is in charge of the new PhD Programme on Innovation, Science, Technology and Law. Until 2017, he was Professor of Competition Law at Tilburg University (Netherlands), where he founded and directed the Tilburg Law and Economics Center (TILEC) and created the Bachelor Global Law. Prof. Larouche has also taught at the College of Europe (Bruges) (2004-2016), and he has been a guest professor or scholar at McGill University (2002), National University of Singapore (2004, 2006, 2008, 2011, 2013), Northwestern University (2009-2010, 2016-2017), Sciences Po (2012), the University of Pennsylvania (2015) and the Inter-Disciplinary Center (IDC, 2016). His research centers around economic governance, and in particular how law and regulation struggle to deal with complex phenomena such as innovation. He follows a meta-comparative and inter-disciplinary method. He currently teaches competition law, economic regulation, tort law as well as patents and trademarks.

Q: How to get externally defined bean in java config I have a java config class that imports xml files with the @ImportResources annotation. In the java config I'd like to reference to beans that are defined in the xml config, e.g. like:
@Configuration
@ImportResource({
        "classpath:WEB-INF/somebeans.xml"
    }
)
public class MyConfig {
    @Bean
    public Bar bar() {
        Bar bar = new Bar();
        bar.setFoo(foo); // foo is defined in somebeans.xml
        return bar;
    }
}

I'd like to set the bean foo that has been defined in somebeans.xml to the bar bean that will be created in the java config class. How do I get the foo bean?

A: Either add a field in your configuration class and annotate it with @Autowired or add @Autowired to the method and pass in an argument of the type.
public class MyConfig {

    @Autowired
    private Foo foo;

    @Bean
    public Bar bar() {
      Bar bar = new Bar();
      bar.setFoo(foo); // foo is defined in somebeans.xml
      return bar;
    }
}

or
public class MyConfig {
    @Bean
    @Autowired
    public Bar bar(Foo foo) {
        Bar bar = new Bar();
        bar.setFoo(foo); // foo is defined in somebeans.xml
        return bar;
    }
}

This is all explained in the reference guide.


On October 6, 2009, the crew of the twentieth expeditions on board of the International Space Station (ISS) captured this impressive image of stormy weather over Brazil.
The Nikon D2Xs Digital Camera, captured a huge amount of visual details, as part of the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment, in progress. Cumulusnimbus Clouds in various stages of development can be observed in the unstable air from the tropics, causing electrical storm. Circular patterns produced by storms from the massive cloud structure are obvious, while, thanks to the Sun's reflaction, the 3 380 km long trail of the Madeira river, in the Amazon basin, can be easily observed.
Tuesday afternoon the dutch sky was crossed by a huge fireball. People were amazed by the strange phenomenon, inform the newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.
Astronomer Theo Jurriens later untied the mystery, saying that it was an extremely bright meteor, which was broken at some point in three pieces. According to a spokesman for Royal Dutch meteorological institute, KNMI, a meteorite streaked the north of Holland sky.
KNMI and Jurries both announced that they had received several calls from witnesses of the event throughout the Netherlands, the astronomer stating that he has received reports from people who say they heard a noise and a bang at the approaching of the meteor, others telling that they felt a trembling in the building they were in at that time.
Tuesday evening Jurriens asked all companies and institutions that have surveillance cameras to check whether they had recorded on tape this phenomenon.
The Gate to Heaven or Hell ?
An absolutely surprising appearance was filmed Tuesdayabove Moscow. In no time the video did the tour of the internet and stirred various reactions.
Some compare the phenomenon with celestial appearances before the alien invasion of the U.S. blockbuster "The Independence Day".
Then the "Stargate"fans, which are convinced that we are dealing with a so-called wormhole, a gateway to another world or to another era.
Some would bet that is just a sonic bang, while many other voices swore that looks like a black hole, as, say some, could be formed after the experiment in Geneva.


When managing difficult people and dealing with difficult people in your working or personal life, remember what Walt Whitman (1819-1892) said: Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you and disputed passage with you?
Walt was right about difficult people! It has not change even in the era of increased technology.
For sure, Walt Whitman makes a great point! It's in dealing with difficult people that cross your path throughout your life that you have learned some of your most important life lessons. But at that time, such difficult people are frustrating, destructive and very distressing to you. But if you think about it, having survived the experience has made you stronger than before. Despite everything is has made you stronger even if it does not feel like it.
> What can I learn from the experience?
> What can I learn from the experience itself?
> What can I learn about interacting with this person?
> What can I learn about people in general?
By deciding to learn from the experience, you'll gain and never lose when dealing with difficult people that you encounter in your life.

From Angola to Zambia, here are Africa's leaders in green energy
Published Mon, Jun 10 20191:52 AM EDT Updated Mon, Jun 10 20191:53 AM EDT
Anmar Frangoul
The International Energy Agency says that 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to electricity.
Access to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy will be crucial when it comes to broadening access on the continent.

Home to around 1.2 billion people, Africa is set to drive global population growth over the next few decades.
Access to electricity in Africa is a challenge: According to the International Energy Agency, 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to electricity.
Access to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy — as laid out in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal Seven — will be crucial when to it comes to meeting other Sustainable Development Goals and tackling climate change.
Here, CNBC's "Sustainable Energy" takes a look at the continent's leaders in renewable energy capacity according to statistics from the International Renewable Energy Association (IRENA).
Capacity, according to IRENA, refers to "the maximum net generating capacity of power plants and other installations that use renewable energy sources to produce electricity." The capacity figures relate to power plants and other installations that utilize renewables to generate electricity.
(10) Sudan: 2,136 MW

Hydropower is the main source of renewable electricity generation in Sudan, producing 8,051 gigawatt hours (GWh) in 2016, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
(9) Nigeria: 2,143 MW

Despite being an oil rich member of OPEC, Nigeria – the most populous country in Africa – is home to "an abundance of various renewable energy resources" including solar, wind and small hydro power, according to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission.
Work needs to be done to exploit these resources, however. To this end, the government wants renewables to make up 30% of the country's electricity mix by 2030.
(8) Mozambique: 2,235 MW

Construction work on Mozambique's first large-scale solar facility, a 40 MW plant near the city of Mocuba, started in 2018, according to solar firm Scatec Solar.
It's estimated that, once complete, the plant will generate 79 GWh of electricity per year and help to power 175,000 homes.
(7) Zambia: 2,446 MW
Stuart Fox | Gallo Images | Getty Images
Zambia is heavily reliant on hydropower, which generated 11,025 GWh in 2016, according to the IEA.
Change is taking place, though. In April 2019, the green energy subsidiary of Italian energy giant Enel started operations at a 34-megawatt (MW) solar plant, its first in the country.
Once fully operational, the power plant is set to produce 70 GWh every year, according to Enel.
(6) Democratic Republic of the Congo: 2,750 MW
Karl Schoemaker | Gallo Images | Getty Images
A vast country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo's biggest renewable source is hydropower, which generated 9,099 GWh in 2016, according to the IEA.
The United States Agency for International Development has said that the country could potentially "install up to 100,000 MW of hydropower capacity."
(5) Angola: 2,763 MW

Like Nigeria, Angola is a member of OPEC and a major oil producer.
The country is also a significant force in hydropower, with generation from that source hitting 4.95 terawatt hours in 2016, according to the International Hydropower Association.
(4) Morocco: 3,263 MW

Morocco boasts the planet's biggest concentrating solar park which according to the IEA illustrates its "ambition and technological capability."
The country also has several wind farms, including the 300 MW Tarfaya facility, which is located on its southwest coast and can power 1.5 million homes, according to Siemens.
(3) Ethiopia: 4,351 MW

With over 4,000 MW of capacity, Ethiopia places third when it comes to renewable energy capacity in Africa, according to IRENA.
The country is part of the World Bank's Scaling Solar program, which has the goal of making "privately funded grid-connected solar projects operational within two years and at competitive tariffs."
(2) Egypt: 4,813 MW

Egypt has potential when it comes to renewables. In October 2018, IRENA said that Egypt could supply 53% of its electricity mix using renewables by 2030.
In April 2019, Norwegian developer Scatec Solar announced that the first part of its 400 MW Benban solar facility had been connected to the grid and commenced commercial operations.
Once finished, the Benban project will have 1.5 GW of capacity. Scatec is the largest contributor to the project.

South Africa is the continent's leader when it comes to renewable energy capacity, according to IRENA's figures.
It is home to a number of solar power plants, including the 96 MW Jasper plant, a photovoltaic facility with 325,360 panels that can supply power to 80,000 homes.
When it comes to wind power, onshore installations in South Africa amounted to 2,085 MW in 2018, according to the Global Wind Energy Council.
The South African Wind Energy Association states that wind power accounts for 52% of the country's renewable energy power supply, while the average size of a South African wind power facility is 93.5 MW.

North Beach restaurants turn to alcohol sales to survive
Legislation would allow businesses to apply for temporary liquor licenses
Ida Mojadad
A handful of North Beach restaurants may soon get a lifeline in the form of a chance to apply for liquor licenses long prohibited by zoning.
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will vote on whether to allow food establishments currently zoned as "limited restaurants" in a certain area of North Beach to convert to regular restaurants and, therefore, apply for a liquor license. The Land Use and Transportation Committee unanimously supported the legislation on Monday.
It could end up applying to about 10 businesses, including East African restaurant Massawa, Japanese-inspired Family Cafe, and seafood-centric Italian restaurant Portofino, which just reopened in February after a more than two-decade closure. Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who represents the area, brought forward the legislation.
"To those 10 businesses, this is a lifeline now," said Lee Hepner, legislative aide to Peskin, to the Planning Commission in late August. "I think this moment has really put urgency on the table."
Businesses must have opened by March 1 and operated as a "bona fide eating place," like a pizzeria or sandwich shop which has kitchen facilities and serves food during regular meal times, for four calendar months in the year before that. They have six months from the effective date, which is 30 days after Mayor London Breed's signature, before the allowances expire.
A similar effort in 2015 was opposed by the North Beach Business Association, Hoodline reported. North Beach has one of the highest concentrations of liquor licenses in The City, but allowing a temporary window for these businesses can keep that under control while providing relief, Lee said.
Jessica Furui, co-owner of Family Cafe on Columbus, had sought a chance to apply for a liquor license for years but pushed it harder once the pandemic hit. Seeing businesses close on a weekly basis has been tough, she said.
"From a leadership aspect, at this point, you do have to ask yourself what are all the things we can do in order to keep these businesses alive?" Furui said. "Because it's very dark. I find myself contemplating, god am I ever going to have to write this kind of letter or press release?"
Family is building a parklet for its one-year anniversary next week, which will help expand the small space that's available while allowing for social distancing. Furui is planning to adjust the menu and make one special for outside to have food that goes with sake and other drinks.
Once the legislation goes into effect, businesses like Family can apply for ABC license for beer and wine.
At the Planning Commission in late August, commissioners expressed enthusiasm for the change and sought to explore bringing it to other neighborhoods.

The Calligra team is proud and pleased to announce the first beta release of version 2.8 of the Calligra Suite for testing! The team will now focus on fixing remaining bugs. Let's make sure the final release of 2.8, expected by the end of January is as stable as possible by giving the current beta a good testing!
Words, the word processing application, now has support for comments in the text.
Author, the writer's application, has the same enhancements as Words.
In Kexi, the visual database creator, there is a new feature to open hyperlinks in forms. But the big news is that Kexi is now possible to build on Windows which was not the case before in 2.x series.
There are some improvements in the general shapes available from most Calligra applications: You can now paste any shape from any application into any application. There are also improvements in copy and paste of images and rich text.
Krita, the full-featured free digital painting studio for artists will have a very exciting release! There are many new features, among them a new high-quality scaling mode for the OpenGL canvas, G'Mic integration, a wraparound painting mode for easy creation of textures and tiles, support for touch screens. There are two new application in this release, as well: Krita Sketch, aimed at tablets and Krita Gemini, which can switch between desktop and tablet mode at the press of a button. The full set of improvements is huge! Take a look at the preview. Krita 2.8 will also be available for Windows.
The source code of the snapshot is available for download: calligra-2.7.90.tar.xz. Alternatively, you can download binaries for many Linux distributions.
Always good news, to read about the progress of Calligra. Let's hope text processing in KDE gets something near to usable, stable and reliable without depending on LibreOffice or Gdocs.
But there's something I don't understand: Why G'Mic integration in Krita? G'Mic is mainly intended for photo retouching; well known is its use inside Gimp, in fact many Gimp users would consider Gimp without G'Mic "one-legged". Since Krita is a drawing app, what's the point to integrate all those filters, written mainly for photographic edition into it? Is Krita moving back to photo editing or something like that? If yes, an integration with Photivo, the QT based raw developer (sadly Darktable and RawTherapee are GTK) would also be higly desirable (last time I played with Krita its raw developer was pretty bad).
We included support for G'Mic because artists asked for it — they use a couple of the filters a lot for finishing up illustrations.


Everything is good! Towels, soap & shampoo provided. Master bed room even have bath tub! The house is super clean & cold! If I can suggest to add iron & board would be great! It's only the caretaker is super fierce & grumpy. I was told to call him arnd 20 minutes before arrival but when I call, he shouted in the phone like; can you just call me once u have arrive in front of the door?!! I was like, whattt?? Can't u talk politely Mr. A?!! And upon check out, when my mom ask him where should we throw the rubbish, he answered; just throw wherever you want to throw. What kind of answer is that Mr A??!! Probably should educate the caretaker to talk nicely to your customers. Really like to come again but doesn't want to deal/meet that 'Mr. A' again. I'm so sorry!
spacious and clean apartment. value for money. will come back again.
1) The TV picture and sound was not that clear (sometimes clear sometimes not) 2) To have some additional basics items such as knife, additional garbage bags, better brand for (for kitchen soap). 3) Apartment with air freshener would be better.
The location is great nice. Budget wise... it is good. However, this building is a bit old. The master room has a big area (inside cupboard) infected with funges. A bit smelly the whole night. Masterroom has no fan.
I dunno it is a homestay till I reached there, thought it was under hotel management but it's not. Poor facility with no shampoo,toothbrush ,toothpaste ,hair dryer. And some of the lights was not functioning and it was very dimmed. I am hungry at night time and wanna ask for food and so called "24hours room service" but in fact they dont provide any room service for this homestay. Very disappointed, will not visit anymore. Thanks.

Polish nightclub owner defends giant yellow swastika
But Marek Pelian said the design was a yellow path to guide his guests.
"What swastika? This is just the yellow brick road from the Wizard of Oz," he told the local press, explaining that one arm of the design leads to the nightclub's door while another will lead to an outdoor stage that has yet to be built.
"This design has four arms, just like the galaxy, and this is an astronomical disco," he added as further explanation. "Just because Hitler used it does not mean it's a sign of totalitarianism."
His explanation has failed to win everyone over.
• Paving stone swastika embarrasses German town
In a commentary piece for Gazeta Wyborcza, a leading Polish newspaper, Pawel Krysiak, a Czestochowa resident, said in Poland the swastika will always be "associated with genocide, not the Wizard Oz," and reminded Mr Pelian of what happened to Czestochowa's Jews during the war.
"In the autumn of 1942 the Nazis deported 40,000 people to the Treblinka death camp," he wrote. "This is what happened to people under the sign of the swastika. Czestochowa still lives in the shadow of this crime and we do not want to forget it."

Mein Kampf to be republished in Germany in early 2016
But that copyright expires in December, meaning a new, heavily annotated, version will be published by Germany's Institute for Contemporary History in January.
"I understand some immediately feel uncomfortable when a book that played such a dramatic role is made available again to the public," Magnus Brechtken, the institute's deputy director, told the Washington Post. "On the other hand, I think that this is also a useful way of communicating historical education and enlightenment – a publication with the appropriate comments, exactly to prevent these traumatic events from ever happening again."
Jewish groups argued the book was "outside of human logic".
The new version will be 2,000 pages long – far longer than Hitler's 700-page original – because it will include critical commentary of Hitler's writing.
Hitler wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle), in 1924 while in a Bavarian prison, and combined elements of autobiography with his views on Aryan "racial purity", his hatred of Jews and his opposition to communism.
Millions of copies were distributed before his death in 1945.
The book is unusually popular in India, where it is sold in book shops and by hawkers at train stations.

Publishing Mein Kampf is the best way to undermine Hitler's poison
A manga version of the book was published in Japan
3) Mein Kampf is an important historical document. It is arguably invaluable reading for students who wish to understand the way that a significant minority of Germans thought in the 1920s and 1930s, thus helping contemporary readers to understand the social conditions that made the Third Reich possible.
4) Perversely, making Mein Kampf available in this format could be a useful weapon against the Far Right. The Far Right often try to whitewash the Nazi era by claiming that a) the Holocaust never happened, b) what little persecution of the Jews that did take place did so without Hitler's direct order and c) the Third Reich was the victim of Western aggression and never wanted a world war. Reading Mein Kampf rubbishes all these claims. Hitler clearly states that Jews are part of a grand conspiracy to destroy Germany through Marxism and racial impurity, and that they have to be purged form society. He uses language that eerily predicts the horrors of Auschwitz when stating that the First World War could have been won: "If at the beginning of the War… twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebrew corrupters of the people had been held under poison gas." Likewise, he proposes that Germans require lebensraum in Europe – a living space that would become the goal of eastward expansion in 1939. In short, while Hitler was certainly an opportunist and his state surprisingly decentralised in structure, he operated by a clear ideological vision that is laid out in Mein Kampf.
5) Subjected to proper critical analysis, Mein Kampf reads like an absurd, paranoid, semi-illiterate pamphlet – it debunks itself. George Orwell's scathing review nailed it: "The initial, personal cause of [Hitler's] grievance against the universe can only be guessed at; but at any rate the grievance is here. He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds. If he were killing a mouse he would know how to make it seem like a dragon. One feels, as with Napoleon, that he is fighting against destiny, that he can't win, and yet that he somehow deserves to."
The challenge of reading Mein Kampf in hindsight is to try to understand how something so obviously wrong and so clearly the product of a broken, third-rate mind could bring about the Götterdämmerung of Europe.
The answer is partly that it didn't. The Hitler of Mein Kampf, the Hitler of the 1920s, was quickly discredited and, as Weimar's economy improved, looked like an irrelevance. Only when the Depression hit, and the German establishment was looking for a weapon to smash the Left with, was Hitler reluctantly invited into power. And what democratic support he enjoyed he enjoyed in part because he pledged peace and played down some of the rhetoric one wades through in Mein Kampf.
If Mein Kampf is presented in proper, scholarly fashion then it can be made clear that it is not a black bible – an unholy writ of immense, dark magical powers – but an important historical artifact that helps us understand what went so terribly wrong in an apparently civilised society. History understood is history conquered.

Germany charges 94-year-old former medic at Auschwitz with 3,600 counts of accessory to murder
Hilde Michnia who has lived undisturbed in the suburbs of Hamburg for nearly five decades who now uses a walking frame is under investigation for allegedly forcing women prisoners on a death march from the Grossen-Rosen concentration camp, during which 1,400 died.
The other man was a former SS guard who helped to choose which prisoners were strong enough for forced labour and which should be immediately gassed. He is being charged with 170,000 counts of accessory to murder.
The cases are part of an initiative, begun in 2013, that recommended 30 people to be prosecuted for their involvement in the Holocaust.
"There is no statue of limitations on murder," said Andreas Brendel, the prosecutor behind the charges against the unnamed 93-year-old man..
"We still have the victims and the families of victims. For them, it is very important that a German criminal process takes place and the guilt of the offender is determined."
But critics said the three defendants were only junior SS members, who played a minor role, and are only being prosecuted in lieu of more senior perpetrators who have now passed away.
Of the 6,500 former SS members who served at Auschwitz and survived the war, only 49 have ever been convicted by a German court.
A further 700 were tried and convicted in Polish courts, including the notorious camp commandant, Rudolf Höss, who was sentenced to death and hanged in 1947. But thousands have escaped justice.
Neither Mr Groening nor Ms Michnia have sought to hide their pasts, and indeed may have incriminated themselves with frank interviews to the media.
Although he always denied personal responsibility for what happened at Auschwitz, Mr Groening spent years confronting Holocaust deniers and speaking out about the horrors he witnessed there.
"I heard a baby crying," he told Spiegel magazine in 2005. "The child was lying on the ramp, wrapped in rags. A mother had left it behind, perhaps because she knew women with infants were sent to the gas chambers immediately.
"I saw another SS soldier grab the baby by the legs. The crying bothered him. He smashed the baby's head against the iron side of a truck until it was silent."
Ms Michnia appeared in a recent Irish documentary in which Tomi Reichental, a survivor of Bergen-Belsen, attempted to interview her about her time there.
In the course of the documentary, Ms Michnia admitted taking part in the death march.
She may have thought she was safe from further prosecution because she served a year in prison at the end of the way after being found guilty of mistreating prisoners at a British military trial.
So few of those responsible for the genocide of Europe's Jews have been held to account in postwar Germany that the German writer and Holocaust survivor Ralph Giordano described it as a "second guilt".
But in 2011 a German court found John Demjanjuk, a Soviet prisoner-of-war who volunteered as an SS guard, guilty of being an accessory to the murder of 27,900 Jews at the Sobibor extermination camp.
When Thomas Walther, a government official tasked with investigating Nazi crimes, sought to bring charges against Demjanjuk, his colleagues laughed.
But the case overturned years of legal precedent in the German courts that only the senior Nazi leadership could be held responsible for the crimes of the Holocaust. For the first time, anyone who had been a guard at a death camp could be held guilty.
After the judgement, there was a scramble by prosecutors to open new cases against surviving Nazis.
In 2013, investigations were announced against 30 former SS members who served at Auschwitz. Many have since died or been ruled too ill to stand trial.

Heir to Japanese throne appeals for 'correct' Second World War history
Naruhito, the crown prince, used a press conference marking his 55th birthday on Monday to express opinions that would be considered mild elsewhere but are a rare example of Japan's imperial family passing comment on the nation's elected leaders.
"I myself did not experience the war, but it is important to look back on the past humbly and to correctly pass down tragic experiences and the history behind Japan to generations that have no direct knowledge of the war, at a time when memories of the war are about to fade", the prince said.
Shinzo Abe, the prime minister, has expressed his intention to rewrite the constitution before he steps down, with sections concerning Japan's right to use its military the most likely to be altered.
The prince also pointed out that the world is marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the war and expressed hopes that this year "will be an opportunity to take the preciousness of peace to heart and to renew our determination to pursue peace".
"The imperial family very rarely wades into politics, but it is very hard to believe that this is not a planned and calculated comment that has been approved by the Imperial Household Agency," Robert Dujarric, director of the Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies at the Japan campus of Temple University, told The Telegraph.
"Clearly the agency believes Mr Abe has gone too far and that it will be bad for the nation if he continues to take the line that Japan did nothing wrong in the early decades of the last century", he said.
"The agency will be particularly keen to avoid any new questions being raised about the imperial family's role in and responsibility for Japan's colonial occupations and the war", he added.

David Cameron defends Second World War RAF 'heroes' of Dresden raid
The comments sparked criticism from Tory MPs who called the remarks "bizarre" and "an insult" to the young men who risked their lives.
"On the issue of the work of Bomber Command in the Second World War, I think that Bomber Command played an absolutely vital role in our war effort," Mr Cameron said in a question and answer session at the Port of Felixstowe.
"One of the things I was very proud to do as Prime Minister was to make sure the people who served in Bomber Command got proper recognition with a new clasp on their medals.
"And it was a great honour to hand out some of those medals to people who have waited for many, many years for the recognition I think they deserve.
"I'm very lucky to occasionally get to jog around St James Park in London and I always stop and look up at the Bomber Command memorial that has been so recently built and dedicated and stop and think about those very brave people who took enormous risks with incredible loss of life on our behalf to save Europe, to save Britain from fascism, from Hitler.

"To me the people who served in bomber command are heroes of our country and they played a very important role in the Second World War."
Up to 25,000 civilians were killed in a vast firestorm with hurricane-strength winds during the raid of 13-15 February 1945. Critics have said the raid, the most controversial British action of the war, was needless, given the closeness of victory. Defenders of the raid point to the large number of German armament factories in the city.
The comments contrasted with the tone taken by Archbishop Welby at a service to remember the bombings earlier this month.
"Much debate surrounds this most controversial raid of the allied bombing campaign. Whatever the arguments, events here 70 years ago left a deep wound and diminished all our humanity. So as a follower of Jesus I stand here among you with a profound feeling of regret and deep sorrow," he said.
Tory MP Philip Davies criticised the comments, saying: "These remarks do sound to me like an apology. For the Archbishop to make an apology for our defeat of Hitler is bizarre. I would have thought the last thing we should be doing is apologising. We should be praised for defeating Hitler. These words are an insult to the young men who gave their lives in the defeat of Germany."

Anyone for a day out at Hitler's bunker?
In the spirit of cultural exchange that has seen the British Museum lend one of its Elgin Marbles to the Hermitage Museum, perhaps the Top Secret theme park could persuade the Lubyanka archive in Moscow to lend it some of their choicest exhibits.
Authorities tried to destroy the bunker after the war (Alamy)
They include Hitler's jawbone, removed for identification on 5 May 1945 by the SMERSH agents who discovered his charred body buried outside the bunker, and Hitler's gold Nazi Party badge, which he presented to Magda Goebbels, although that is rather melted round the edges from when her body and that of her husband Joseph were doused in petrol and set on fire.
This gold badge was stolen to order a number of years ago from inside the Lubyanka, and we do not know whether it has been recovered or not. To snatch it from under the FSB's nose was quite an achievement in itself, and goes to show how much artefacts linked to the Third Reich hierarchy are prized by rich collectors of dubious political views, both in Russia and Germany.

A rather more accessible item would be Eva Braun's solid silver hand mirror, with the swastika and RK for Reichskanzlei, which an elderly German proudly showed to me after a lecture I gave in Berlin in 2004. He said he had bought it from Lev Bezymenski, a Soviet military intelligence officer. I had interviewed Bezymenski because he had been an interpreter at Paulus's surrender in Stalingrad, and then been one of the first to enter Hitler's Bunker on 2 May 1945.
In the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was bizarre to find that former Red Army officers were selling Nazi items they had seized as souvenirs in 1945 in an attempt to augment their pathetically devalued pensions.

My strange encounter with Eva Braun's hand mirror coincided exactly with the release of Downfall, one of the most acclaimed German-made films about Hitler's last days. One can nitpick a number of historical details in it, but I suspect anyone wanting to understand what it was like in the Führerbunker in April 1945 would do better to see it again than make their way to Oberhausen.
The decision to create a "Hitler bunker experience" at all has been made possible only thanks to Germany's burgeoning self-confidence.
After its admirable victory in the 2014 World Cup, the almost compulsory apologias for the Nazi era are now truly a thing of the past.

Any notion of collective guilt is dead and buried, and thus – ironically – this mock concrete sarcophagus can finally be contemplated. The sceptical reaction to the announcement last month is in contrast to the embarrassed panic that occurred in Berlin soon after the collapse of Communism, when building work revealed that the real Führerbunker had survived partly intact.
Soviet and East German attempts to destroy it completely with high explosive had failed because of the four metres of solid concrete above. Berlin's municipal authorities cordoned it off hurriedly and re-covered it in earth. It is now buried under a car park surrounded by blocks of apartments.
But since the turn of the century, a new mood has emerged in Germany. After all the post-war years of collective national guilt, a new feeling of Normalisierung – or normalisation – began to gather pace. Many felt that at last it had become right to portray Germans in 1945, especially the civilians fleeing from the Red Army, as victims. This was sparked in part by Günter Grass's 2002 novel, Im Krebsgang (Crabwalk). The book, based on the fate of refugees from East and West Prussia in the early part of 1945, revolves around the sinking by a Soviet submarine of the liner Wilhelm Gustloff in the Baltic. More than 7,000 – some say 10,000 – drowned in the icy waters off the Pomeranian coast.
The same year, German historian Jörg Friedrich published his detailed and highly emotive account of the suffering of German civilians under British bombing in Der Brand (The Burning). Friedrich called Churchill a "butcher" and implied that he should be classified as a war criminal for such senseless suffering.

Friedrich took a narrow view of his subject, failing to recognise that the British strategic bombing offensive from 1942 was our "Second Front", to help the Soviet Union in the only way we could. Our feeling of blood guilt towards the Red Army, which was taking all the casualties, influenced British policy more than had yet been fully realised.
Perhaps most importantly of all, Friedrich and most German commentators failed to appreciate how effective British bombing was in forcing the Luftwaffe to withdraw a large proportion of its fighter squadrons and anti-aircraft batteries from the Eastern Front to defend the Reich. This aided the Red Army enormously in 1943 and especially 1944, when they were able to make huge advances.
It was, of course, quite right, that the terrible suffering of German civilians in 1945 should have been acknowledged. They too, in their way, were also victims of Nazism, even if some – or many – of them had supported Hitler's regime. It was also quite right that modern Germany should lay down the burden of self-reproach. But that did not of course mean that a veil should be drawn over the horrors of the past, or that the German right should be allowed to confuse cause and effect, as it had done so often in the past.
The 2004 film Downfall, which was set in Adolf Hitler's Führerbunker
The announcement of this fake Führerbunker could hardly have been timed any worse, coinciding with the anti-Islamist Pegida demonstrations in Germany and then the Charlie Hebdo atrocity in Paris, which was clearly intended to provoke a backlash to recruit more jihadists.
And although many Germans are unduly nervous, drawing comparisons with the Pegida marches and a possible return of the Brown Shirts, this is far from the case. History never repeats itself, and any superficial parallels with the 1930s are deeply misleading. For a start, democracy in Germany could hardly be more secure. Whether facing neo-Nazis or Jihadists, the bulk of the country is impressively united.
Of course, in an increasingly amorphous world of fragmented societies, there are many young males who, through insecurity, bitterness and a lack of opportunities, feel a strong need for a tribal, religious or nationalist identity.
The exterior of the bunker as seen in the 2004 film Downfall
Yet Germany faces another, rather longer term paradox. The Euro crisis as a whole can only be resolved through a drastic centralisation of political and economic power, and that in turn will greatly increase the anti-Brussels resentment across Europe and play into the hands of the extremist groups and parties. This is no doubt one of the reasons why Germany's Federal government had been avoiding decisive action and preferred to wait upon events, but now, with the Greek crisis, probably cannot delay any longer.
As for the fake Führerbunker, common sense could yet save the day. If it goes ahead, this Nazi-lite attraction will not have any portraits of Hitler on its wall, just empty frames. And as swastikas are not permitted to be displayed under German Federal law, with any luck it will be as disappointing as those rip-off Winter Wonderlands that seem to spring up each December.
It is sheer sophistry to pretend that crude attempts to popularise history leads to a better understanding or a desire to learn more. Rather more often, they simply confirm existing caricatures and clichés.

Beautiful landmarks destroyed by Second World War bombs – and resurrected
<</a> >
Frauenkirche (Dresden, Germany)
This weekend marks the 70th anniversary of the fire-bombing of Dresden (13-15 February 1945) – the concerted Allied air attack which effectively removed its target from the map of Europe. It remains one of the most controversial passages of the Second World War.
The assault left up to 25,000 dead (the figure is hard to quantify), and destroyed much of the Baroque centre of what was arguably Germany's most beautiful city. Buildings lost to the flames included the glorious Frauenkirche – a huge-domed church, built in 1743, which withstood both nights (even acting as a bomb shelter) – but collapsed in the terrible heat caused by the sustained explosions, its dome falling at 10am on February 15.
It 'stood' as a ruin for five decades under the Communist authorities in the post-war German Democratic Republic – the image above shows the remnants of the church in January 1952. However, like all the buildings in this gallery, is also a resurrection tale…

Dresden was a civilian town with no military significance. Why did we burn its people?
Chief of the Air Staff Charles Portal had calculated that bombing civilians could kill 900,000 in 18 months, seriously injure a million more, destroy six million homes, and "de-house" 25 million, creating a humanitarian crisis that, he believed, would speed up the war.
This thinking was not trumpeted from the rooftops. But in November 1941 the Commander-in-Chief of Bomber Command said he had been intentionally bombing civilians for a year. "I mention this because, for a long time, the Government, for excellent reasons, has preferred the world to think that we still held some scruples and attacked only what the humanitarians are pleased to call Military Targets. I can assure you, gentlemen, that we tolerate no scruples."
The debate over this strategy of targeting civilians is still hotly contentious and emotional, in Britain and abroad. There is no doubting the bravery, sacrifice, and suffering of the young men who flew the extraordinarily dangerous missions: 55,573 out of Bomber Command's 125,000 flyers never came home. The airmen even nicknamed their Commander-in-Chief "Butcher" Harris, highlighting his scant regard for their survival.
Supporters of Britain's "area bombing" (targeting civilians instead of military or industrial sites) maintain that it was a vital part of the war. Churchill wrote that he wanted "absolutely devastating, exterminating attacks by very heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland". In another letter he called it "terror bombing". His aim was to demoralise the Germans to catalyse regime change. Research suggests that the soaring homelessness levels and family break ups did indeed depress civilian morale, but there is no evidence it helped anyone prise Hitler's cold hand off the wheel.
Others maintain that it was ghastly, but Hitler started it so needed to be answered in a language he understood. Unfortunately, records show that the first intentional "area bombing" of civilians in the Second World War took place at Monchengladbach on 11 May 1940 at Churchill's orders (the day after he dramatically became prime minister), and four months before the Luftwaffe began its Blitz of British cities.
Not everyone was convinced by city bombing. Numerous military and church leaders voiced strong opposition. Freemason Dyson, now one of Britain's most eminent physicists, worked at Bomber Command from 1943-5. He said it eroded his moral beliefs until he had no moral position at all. He wanted to write about it, but then found the American novelist Kurt Vonnegut had said everything he wanted to say.
Like Gregg, Vonnegut had been a prisoner in Dresden that night. He claimed that only one person in the world derived any benefit from the slaughterhouse — him, because he wrote a famous book about it which pays him two or three dollars for every person killed.
Germany's bombing of British cities was equally abhorrent. Germany dropped 35,000 tons on Britain over eight months in 1940-1 killing an estimated 39,000. (In total, the UK and US dropped around 1.9 million tons on Germany over 7 years.)
Bombing German cities clearly did have an impact on the war. The question, though, is how much. The post-war US Bombing Survey estimated that the effect of all allied city bombing probably depleted the German economy by no more than 2.7 per cent.
Allowing for differences of opinion on the efficacy or necessity of "area bombing" in the days when the war's outcome remained uncertain (arguably until Stalingrad in February 1943), the key question on today's anniversary remains whether the bombing of Dresden in February 1945 was militarily necessary — because by then the war was definitely over. Hitler was already in his bunker playing out his final absurd fantasies. The British and Americans were at the German border after winning D-Day the previous summer, while the Russians under Zhukov and Konev were well inside eastern Germany and racing pell-mell to Berlin.
Dresden was a civilian town without military significance. It had no material role of any sort to play in the closing months of the war. So, what strategic purpose did burning its men, women, old people, and children serve? Churchill himself later wrote that "the destruction of Dresden remains a serious query against the conduct of Allied bombing".
Seventy years on, fewer people ask precisely which military objective justified the hell unleashed on Dresden. If there was no good strategic reason for it, then not even the passage of time can make it right, and the questions it poses remain as difficult as ever in a world in which civilians have continued to suffer unspeakably in the wars of their autocratic leaders.

Q: Shiny download dynamically made files using downloadHandler() based on user choices on radioButtons() I have a shiny app that creates a data frame based on user inputs. I want to make a dynamic download button that takes user choices (radioButton) to download dynamically made data frame. The data frames are returned from a function as a list
When I create functions for two different download buttons the downloading works fine
library(shiny)
library(DT)

temp_func <- function(){
  x <- mtcars
  y = x[,1]
  return(list(complete_df = as.data.frame(x), column1 = as.data.frame(y)))
}

# UI
ui <- shinyUI({
  fluidPage(
    actionButton("fetch", label = "Fetch data first"),

    mainPanel(DT::dataTableOutput("table")),

    downloadButton("down_all", "Download all"),
    downloadButton("down_c1", "Download c1")

)})

# Server
server <- Main_Server <- function(input,output,session){

  # Reactive Values
  values <- reactiveValues(table = NULL)

  # fetchEvent (Consider temp_func() is fetching data from website)
  observeEvent(input$fetch, {values$table <- temp_func()})

  # Rendering table for display
  output$table <- renderDT({datatable(values$table$complete_df)})

  # Download 1
  output$down_all <- downloadHandler(
    filename = function() { paste("All columns","csv", sep=".")},
    content = function(file) {write.csv(values$table$complete_df, file)})

  # Download 2
  output$down_c1 <- downloadHandler(
    filename = function() { paste("Columns1","csv", sep=".")},
    content = function(file) {write.csv(values$table$column1, file)})
}

# Run-app
shinyApp(ui, server)

Once I merge the two functions and pass input$choice from radio button I get an empty file
library(shiny)
library(DT)

temp_func <- function(){
  x <- mtcars
  y = x[,1]
  return(list(complete_df = as.data.frame(x), column1 = as.data.frame(y)))
}

# UI
ui <- shinyUI({
  fluidPage(
    actionButton("fetch", label = "Fetch data first"),

    mainPanel(DT::dataTableOutput("table")),

    radioButtons("rd", c("Select"), choices = c("All Columns" = "complete_df","Column 1" = "column1"),
                 selected = "complete_df"),
    downloadButton("down", "Download")

  )})

# Server
server <- Main_Server <- function(input,output,session){

  # Reactive Values
  values <- reactiveValues(table = NULL)

  # fetchEvent (Consider temp_func() is fetching data from website)
  observeEvent(input$fetch, {values$table <- temp_func()})

  # Rendering table for display
  output$table <- renderDT({datatable(values$table$complete_df)})

  # Combined Download
  output$down <- downloadHandler(
    filename = function() { paste("File","csv", sep=".")},
    content = function(file) {write.csv(values$table$input$rd, file)})

}

# Run-app
shinyApp(ui, server)

Consider temp_func() is fetching data from other website

A: Try to use :
 # Combined Download
  output$down <- downloadHandler(
    filename = function() { paste("File","csv", sep=".")},
    content = function(file) {write.csv(values$table[[input$rd]], file)})

The syntax you used returns NULL because values$table doesn't have an input field.
With the updated syntax, the downloaded file isn't empty anymore.

UE – Varna to Collaborate with Seven Non-EU Countries under the Erasmus+ Programme Next Year
The University of Economics – Varna ranks among the Top 5 Universities in the country to receive funding from the Bulgarian Human Resources Development Centre (HRDC) to conduct Erasmus+ mobilities with countries outside of the European Union (partner countries for 2022 selection procedure).
From the 2022/2023 academic year, UE – Varna will have the opportunity to send outgoing and receive incoming students, lecturers, and staff from partner universities in Algeria, Ghana, Egypt, Jordan, Nigeria, Palestine, and South Africa, whose mobilities will be funded under the forthcoming KA171 project of the Erasmus+ Programme. With four of these countries – Algeria, Ghana, Palestine, and South Africa, UE-Varna will work for the first time in the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme.
With its results, the University of Economics – Varna ranks first not only in Varna District but also in the whole Northeast Region of the country.
The funding by the National Agency for UE – Varna's incoming and outgoing mobilities is determined at over 75,000 Euro and will give the University the opportunity to further strengthen its partnerships with higher education institutions in the seven countries.
The University of Economics – Varna was also ranked second as a reserve candidate for more than 20 non-EU countries, among which are the University's partner countries under former KA107 projects of the Erasmus+ Programme, such as Armenia, India, and Kazakhstan, as well as countries which UE – Varna has not yet worked with in the framework of the Programme, like Australia, China, Cuba, the countries of South America, and others.
