In a move to help attract more people to downtown Phoenixville on Friday nights during the summer, the CDC has announced the plan to add vendors to the mix. Last year the festivities were mostly limited to bands and other artists but this year non-food vendors will also line Bridge St.
Corporation (CDC), the streets are open for non-food vendors this summer.
"I thought we would open it up a little this year," said Cassidy. "The first year we did only artists. The second year we did music along with some arts and crafts, but this year we'll open it up to non-food vendors.
"Last year, we had a couple of memorabilia vendors, and later someone sold some jewelry, so we did not stick with arts and crafts. I guess this year we are just not making that distinction."
Cassidy said that he's received a lot of requests for massage therapists and medical practitioners wanting to distribute literature concerning good health practices.
"Up to now, there hasn't been a category that would allow this kind of activity," he said. "Now the only rules for being able to display is my good judgment, which is probably kind of scary in its own right. We will not allow anything with drug references nor any kinds of profanity."
In addition to the vendors, attendees will be able to voice their opinions on any and everything via a new 'soapbox' which will be located at the corner of Bridge and Main streets.
"The fact that this is available is good," he said. "This is an opportunity for people to get things off their chests. I'll judge the appropriateness. It'll be an open forum. They can stand up there and say things about me if they like. This is an election year, so we'll have some of them stop by to say something."
Details on the bands that will be performing and other scheduled events have yet to be released.


It is rare that you are able to work on two areas that not only interest you but which overlap. I am fortunate enough in the European Parliament to sit on both the Development and Environment Committees. The two are of course intrinsically linked, and this link is no more important than in the context of the UN climate change conference taking place in Paris.
The extent to which committees work with one another varies but what has struck me most in my time in the Parliament is that the best policy comes when people look at issues in the round. For example, development policy can and should lead to sustainable projects which promote biodiversity, while environmental legislation aimed at illegal logging can help combat the corrosive presence of armed militia in many developing nations.
All the data shows that we are missing targets and missing the bigger picture. Science suggests some of our policies on climate change will contribute to further conflict, degrade arable land and decrease water supplies, contributing to a mass movement of people as swathes of the planet become less hospitable.
Some twenty million people were displaced in 2013. If temperatures continue to climb at the current rate, this would rise to 150 million displaced people by 2050. To put that into context some 750,000 refugees are estimated to have arrived in Europe from Syria and other blighted states this year.
The scale of this possible mass movement of people is staggering and unprecedented. But it can be mitigated, and part of the challenge we face is to make policy coherence across development and environmental issues absolutely crystal clear.
The discord between Union-wide policy and the widely different approaches of each Member-State is the main stumbling block. Many European nations are failing to join to dots between good domestic environmental policy, security and well-managed migration.
The UK government is failing to take the lead on tackling climate change, scrapping support for renewable industries like solar and wind and falling way behind on European renewable energy targets. They have perpetuated a false choice between cutting energy bills and taking action on the environment, pitting the poorest at home against impoverished people abroad.
I find it astonishing that the connection is rarely made between mitigating climate change and promoting global security. For too long we have been sleepwalking into a future defined by climate change and its consequences.
We need agreement in Paris, not the stalemate and recriminations that scarred the talks in Copenhagen.


Increase your expertise with OpenMM at CECAM's Macromolecular Simulation Software Workshop. OpenMM developer Peter Eastman and OpenMM power user John Chodera will help run the sub-workshop on "Developing interoperable and portable molecular simulation software libraries," which will teach attendees how to develop code with OpenMM and the free energy calculations library Plumed.
Biomolecular simulation continues to grow in popularity and scope of application. It is no longer the preserve of a few specialist groups but is widespread - part of the 'toolkit' used by researchers in a wide variety of fields, often closely integrated with other experimental research techniques. As the use of biomolecular simulation grows, a corresponding boom in (decentralised) software development is taking place.
•	Advanced sampling and long timescale molecular dynamics.
as well as more general-purpose Python-based tools that have clear applicability to biosimulation – e.g. RADICAL-Cybertools (http://radical-cybertools.github.com).
To register or learn more about the workshop, visit http://www.cecam.org/workshop-1214.html.
There is no registration fee for the workshop, but accommodation, meals and all other travel costs must be covered by participants. Some funding may be provided by NSF to enable US early career researchers to attend the workshop.

CAMS is proud to be able to offer to its affiliated sporting car clubs the opportunity to obtain funding under the CAMS Club Development Fund, supported by Burson Auto Parts & Famous Insurance.
The CAMS Club Development Fund is made available as part of CAMS' ongoing commitment to drive membership growth & participation opportunities in clubs and motor sport.
The CAMS Club Development Fund has awarded over $100,000 to CAMS-Affiliated Sporting Car Clubs since its inception in 2015.
Enquiries regarding the CAMS Club Development Fund can be sent to development@cams.com.au.
How can I find out about which clubs have been successful in obtaining funding from the CAMS Club Development Fund?
There is a listing for each funding period where clubs are listed, as well as their project's title.
If there is a particular club that you would like to get in contact with to discuss their project & application (regardless of their location), please contact your local CAMS State Office.
When are the funding periods for the CAMS Club Development Fund?
Applications can be made year round, however, there are some factors that need to be
considered when committing resources within your club to putting forward an application,
namely:
Clubs must have been affiliated with CAMS in the current & previous calendar years
to be eligible for funding.
Should a club seek funding for a project to be held in the following calendar year
(e.g. January / February), the club must also be affiliated for that calendar year for
the application to be considered. For applications that are spread over two calendar
years, the club must be affiliated for both calendar years in which the project is
taking place.
Applications are to be made at least eight (8) weeks prior to the event's
commencement. In the case of a series, eight (8) weeks prior to the first event of the
series. Consideration for applications made within this timeframe is at the
discretion of the CAMS Club Development Funding Committee.
Clubs that have outstanding acquittals will not have any further applications
considered until all acquittals have been completed.
Where can I find more information on the CAMS Club Development Fund?
Please contact your local CAMS State Office.
Our club has submitted an application & we have been rejected for funding or we are wondering why our club was not awarded the entire amount that it was seeking from CAMS, where can I go to receive more information & feedback about the application?
Why is the amount offered by the CAMS Club Development Fund so small (when compared to other funding programs), so much so, that it is really not the time & effort to submit an application?
At this point in time, the CAMS Club Development Fund is not able to offer clubs thousands of dollars to stage events in which they can grow their participant & officiating base. The Club Development Fund may never reach a position where significant amounts of funding are available.
If your club does not believe that the funding offered is suitable for the effort that is required in submitting an application, the club is not forced to submit an application.
Clubs are encouraged to seek out funding opportunities that are available in their own region, the CAMS Club Development Fund is not to be seen as a substitute for other funding sources (e.g. local government & state government, etc.), however, it is important that clubs are able to access funding for their own development initiatives, hence the reason for the fund's creation.
Should your club wish to discuss what specific funding options are available outside the scope of the Club Development Fund, please contact your local CAMS State Office.
Our club has already received funding for the same project in consecutive years, why did our club receive less this year than the previous year?
The CAMS Club Development Fund is not intended to be an ongoing source of funding for clubs, rather an incentive for clubs to implement an idea that has the capacity to be self-sufficient in the medium to long term, however, requires an initial provision of funding to get it up & running.
Did your club add something to the project in the subsequent application in a bid to make the project attract even more participants or did it offer an additional component this year that differentiates the project from last year's edition?
Our club has already received funding from the CAMS Club Development Fund in this calendar year, why does our club have to wait until the following calendar year to be eligible to apply for more funding?
As with all funding programs, there is only a finite amount of funding to offer to the CAMS-affiliated sporting car clubs during each funding period (calendar year), so in fairness to all the eligible clubs & in line with the other funding programs, clubs are limited to one (1) successful application per calendar year, regardless of the funding that is awarded to & accepted in that successful application.
What projects are eligible for funding?
There are a broad range of projects that are eligible for funding under the Club Development Fund.
The project must be able to demonstrate that it has the capacity to increase participation in motor sport (either or both junior & adult) & that the club has the capacity to carry out the project, including the club submitting a realistic & coherent budget to verify the club's planning & investment in the project's success.
If your club has an idea for funding & you are not sure as to whether it fits within the funding guidelines, you are best advised to speak with your local CAMS State Office.
What if my club doesn't have the finances to match what the club is seeking from CAMS?
It is true that clubs are required to contribute at least the amount that they are seeking from CAMS in the application, however, this does not necessarily mean that it has to take the form of cash.
The club's contribution can be formed from the entry fees received from competitors & by using the officials (these volunteer hours can be broken down & specified in the application's budget) the club provides in staging the event(s) that form the project.

2016 Round 2 Projects
Case Studies - Obtaining Maximum Funding
To give clubs an understanding of what types of projects will be looked at favourably for higher levels of funding, CAMS has provided a couple of examples of projects that have achieved funding in the past.
Please note this the case studies are NOT the only way to be awarded maximum funding, however, the projects do have common themes:
They can demonstrably attract a large number of new participants to the sport, either through a one-off event or a series that involves multiple participation opportunities.
They keep CAMS informed of their progress throughout the project.
They actively acknowledge CAMS' support of their project, above the standard requirements.
The application states a logical process in order to achieve the predetermined goals of the project, as well as a realistic budget.
Come & Try Day
A CAMS-affiliated sporting car club staged a CAMS permitted Come and Try day at a circuit. They were in contact with their jurisdiction's Sport & Club Development Officer (SCDO) shortly after the conception of the idea to see whether the idea needed to be altered in order to be eligible for funding.
The event was scheduled six months after the application was submitted to give the club as much time as possible to make the necessary arrangements, should the event not have received any funding & the club could make a determination as to whether it would proceed.
A budget was devised, taking into account all the anticipated expenditure, including the CAMS permit. Based on the budget & the breakeven point, the club sought to have 100 Come & Try participants at the event.
The club had the necessary essential officials organised to run a compliant event under the terms of the CAMS permit it had applied for.
In order to promote the event, the club worked with the SCDO to obtain promotional material from the CAMS Communications Team, as well as promoting the event heavily on its own social media channels.
The end result was that the club had just over 100 participants for their Come & Try event.
This club was awarded $1,500 by the CAMS Club Development Funding Committee.
Once the event was complete, the club forwarded its acquittal to CAMS, in order to be eligible for funding in future rounds of the Club Development Fund.
Junior Development
A CAMS-affiliated sporting car club has strategically determined that they need to attract juniors in order to increase the number of younger participants in their club. They have been in contact with the CAMS Sport & Club Development Officer (SCDO) in their jurisdiction to discuss the idea & whether it was eligible for funding.
The club determined that the best way for the club to attract younger participants was to stage a series of events throughout the year, where participants would be able to participate & progress.
The events were scheduled throughout the year, so that participants were able to be exposed to a number of motor sport experiences, which would have the logical outcome that each of the participants' skill levels would increase.
The club also provided the participant & one parent / legal guardian with membership of the club for the year.
Each event within the series was run under a CAMS permit, with all the requirements of the permit being met.
In order to promote the series, the club worked with the SCDO to obtain promotional material from the CAMS Communications Team, as well as promoting the event heavily on its own social media channels.
Over the course of the four event series, the club was able to attract 15 junior participants, giving a total of 60 participation opportunities.
The club provided event photographs & write-ups to CAMS in order for CAMS to utilise for their social media channels.
Once the series was complete, the club forwarded its acquittal to CAMS in order to be eligible for future rounds of the Club Development Fund.

A wallet is just a wallet, right? That is until someone innovates something better. And, as you guessed, that's exactly what Exentri, the Norwegian wallet company capturing everyone in-the-know's attention, has gone and done. Although they feel new, Exentri has actually been in the wallet-making business for more than two decades. Committed to creating high-quality products with unique features, this Oslo-based brand isn't afraid to innovate. And, more importantly, they know exactly what customers need right now.
Unlike most established brands that have been successful for multiple years, Exentri is unique because it deliberately keeps its product line small. Not wanting to create products just to fill some invisible void, Exentri sticks to its two core designs, backing them up with refreshes by introducing new colours and technology (yes, this is something wallets have these days!) so that they're as relevant now as they were ten years ago.
The Exentri Wallet and Exentri City have been designed for both men and women. Sleek and simple, what sets the Exentri wallets apart from others you'll find on the shelves of department stores is their unique list of features, most of which focus on functionality.
The best selling Exentri Wallet gives you access to many different cards at once, making it easy to instantly find exactly what you need. The Exentri Wallet also has a secure pocket for bills, etc, and, because it's crafted from genuine leather, it looks as good as it feels. Small finishing details, like a stainless steel locking device, ensure that it lasts longer than other wallets made from lesser quality materials. The perfect size for pockets and clutch bags, it's big enough to hold what you need without any noticeable signs of wallet bulk.
But, what makes these wallets "techy" is their smart RFID blocking ability. This feature ensures that your card information is secure when you're travelling or simply walking around getting about your day. This feature is the best way to fight back against modern-day thieves who are capable of stealing your credit card information with remote devices.
And, if you're looking for a slightly smaller option, Exentri has that too. The Exentri City is a small, practical card holder that is designed to hold your most necessary cards. When you only need to bring a few cards with you (think ID, credit card and business card), the Exentri City is the perfect choice. Capable of storing three cards, it's cut from the same genuine leather as the Exentri Wallet and finished with the same stainless steel clasp.

Final season of 'Game of Thrones' to premiere in April
By Shahjahan Khurram On Nov 14, 2018
HBO's hit Emmy-winning drama "Game of Thrones" will debut its eighth and final season starting in April, the network announced in a trailer released online on Tuesday.
The video featured footage from previous seasons of the costly battles that preceded the coming showdown for control of the fictional kingdom of Westeros. The network did not reveal a specific date for the final season's premiere, which will run for six episodes.
"Game of Thrones," which has won multiple Emmy awards, is HBO's biggest hit ever with some 30 million viewers in the United States and an army of devoted fans worldwide.
The series is based on novels by George R.R. Martin in a series called "A Song of Ice and Fire."
HBO, the premium cable network owned by AT&T Inc (T.N), plans to put a large physical and social-media marketing effort behind the upcoming season. Starting Nov. 27, promotions will be spread throughout New York's Grand Central Station, and 250,000 "Game of Thrones" mass transit MetroCards will be issued.
Several spinoffs of the series are in the works. HBO said in June that it had given a pilot order to a prequel that will take place thousands of years before the events of the current series.

Q: SpringMVC RestEasy Integration Beans aren't injected to Controller classes I'm working on a project which has spring mvc 2.5.* .I have integrated RESTeasy to create restful endpoints. I have defined a controller class with @Controler. I have a bean which is supposed to be injected to this controller but it seems it's not getting injected, thus it throws a null pointer exception when the bean variable is used in controller rest methods.
I have added these to the web.xml
<context-param>
    <param-name>resteasy.servlet.mapping.prefix</param-name>
    <param-value>/rest</param-value>
</context-param>

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>resteasy-servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
        org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.HttpServletDispatcher
    </servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>
        <param-value>com.test.package.controller.MyApplication</param-value>
    </init-param>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>resteasy-servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Customized class I extended from resteasy Application class to define application path:
@ApplicationPath("/rest")
public class MyApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        final Set<Class<?>> classes = new HashSet<>();
        // register root resource
        classes.add(EmployeeController.class);
        return classes;
    }
}

I have a servlet.xml which has defined mvc controller beans which works fine:
eg:
  <bean name="/testDetail.html" class="com.test.package.controller.TestDetailController" parent="baseController">
    <property name="testService" ref="testService"/>
  </bean>

My Controller class looks like this:
@Controller
@Path("/employee")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class EmployeeController {

private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(EmployeeController.class);

private EmployeeService employeeService; // This doesn't get initiated.

@PUT
@Path("/update/{empId}")
public Response updateEmp(@PathParam("empId") Long empId, EmpRequest request) {

    Response response = null;
    employeeService.update(request); // NULL POINTER THROWN HERE, employeeService is null

    return response;
}
public EmployeeService getEmployeeService () {
    return employeeService ;
}

public void serEmployeeService (EmployeeService employeeService ) {
    this.employeeService = employeeService ;
}

}
Here I added another bean to servlet.xml as,
  <bean id="employeeController " class="com.test.package.controller.EmployeeController">
    <property name="employeeService " ref="employeeService "/>
  </bean>

In a separate xml employeeService bean is defined. It' just that it won't reflect in the employeeController  bean. I'm not sure if even employeeController bean is created or not. But I'm able to call the endpoint successfully. bean initiation works fine if put employeeService bean in a MVC controller. eg:
  <bean name="/testDetail.html" class="com.test.package.controller.TestDetailController" parent="baseController">
    <property name="employeeService " ref="employeeService "/>
  </bean>

But not in RestController. Any Idea on this behavior. Am I missing any configuration here.

A: firstly, you should define the employeeService bean as follows,
<bean id="employeeService" class="com.test.package.service.EmployeeService">
    --------
</bean>

load the above config xml file in web.xml,
<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/XML_FILE_PATH/XML_FILE_NAME.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

then, you can use employeeService bean
use @PostConstruct annotation for invoke with this method after employeeService bean is initialized
@PUT
@PostConstruct
@Path("/update/{empId}")
public Response updateEmp(@PathParam("empId") Long empId, EmpRequest request) {

    Response response = null;
    employeeService.update(request); // NULL POINTER THROWN HERE, employeeService is null

    return response;
}

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword – Nah mate
May 19, 2017 E Warren
The American reviews for King Arthur: Legend of the Sword came out last week. I try to aviod such things but the negative buzz was pretty overwhelming. 'It can't be that bad,' I thought, 'it's a Guy Ritchie film. I like Guy Ritchie films.' I even liked that second Sherlock Holmes flick, you know, it has Noomi Rapace and Jared Harris showing up and topping everyone else's game. It's the one with Moriarty and the problematic depiction of Romani culture (so a Guy Ritchie film then) and the Reichenbach falls. Anyone? Anyone at all? Sure he makes films about bad angry straight white guys, but we all deserve out indulgences sometimes.
I wonder if he was into heraldry as a child. I wonder if he'd sneak off into the school library and read the picture books with dragons in them. Perhaps he got caught up at Dickens and never went further, it'd explain why his films all tend to be led by some comedy amalgamation of the grown Copperfield, Twist and Pip. It'd also explain why he was halfway through writing a Robin Hood movie before someone had to explain to him that he was supposed to write a King Arthur one.
It's trying to be an origin story, the true king of the land is cast out of the palace by his tyrannical and evil uncle forced to grow up on the streets and in the brothels of Londinium; a seemingly Mediterranean city so cosmopolitan it contains the ruins of both the Colloseum and the Parthenon. All the women in this film are prostitutes or daughters by the way, that's just Ritchie doing his own thing, unconstrained by more temperate voices. Eventually a stone is uncovered and it is said that only the one true king can pull the sword from it. The stone is guarded by David Beckham. Yes, David Beckham, that David Beckham, footballer David Beckham, wearing a fake nose and barking his lines David Beckham.
Like Beckham in his illustrious role, the film completely mishandles its material. Richie's script doesn't seem to be as interested in Arthurian legend as it is in just the concept of mythology. I'm loathe to say the joint even has a story, it's more a collection of scenes robbed from other stories with complete neglect for their historical or cultural value. The film starts out with a whole Moses thing. Later on we see a trial of Christ. Then we get Robin Hood, replete with disguises and arrow antics. Does Arthur need to go on a vaguely Native American inspired 'vision quest', why not? And all this wrapped in a package that feels like someone tortured his art directors until they got as close to Game of Thrones as possible without being legally infringing.
It's agonising, because Ritchie does one thing really well as a filmmaker. Like, he's good at other things, but he is legit one of the best at utilising atemporality to blur the lines between the film's reality and the character's fictions. You wanna examine Arthur, it would be the way to go, there's even that talk of Arthur, the sword, being a greater symbol than the living man. You got all this junk about the right to rule, the place of destiny and birthright in the world and the competing notions of class, and how it is wielded by those with power. Guy seems the perfect dude to explore these themes, but when it comes to it, he ain't coming correct.
The instincts that serve him so well when exploring the opposing sides of mystery plot, whether in Victorian London, or 1963 smooth Americana fuck this sword and sorcery epic right up. I'd hasten to say his characters are too smart, but they're so regularly idiot dopes because their colossal boneheadedness is the only way Richie find to drop them into action scenes. NO, they're not smart, they're just all wiseguys. Tristan, wise. Percival, wise. Bedevere (Djimon Hounsou, who stands alongside the lovely Neil Maskell as the film's closest thing to a human,) real fucking wise.
Charlie Hunnam, who managed to actually be compelling earlier this year in The Lost City of Z, flounders in the boots of a guy so wise even Statham couldn't have played him without straining believability. Poor Jude Law, while he plays evil real good, looks like he has fear in his eyes most of the time because of the film's reckless care for character motivation, which is to say nobody gets any. Oh, and Aidan Gillen turns up, because he's Littlefinger right, Game of Thrones right guys?
Oh, and the group action scenes can't be shot for shit. Neither especially are the individual ones, Arthur seems to have inherited Holmes' ability to slow down time in order to better slaughter folks, but because it's gotta be all magical it's accompanied by the worst screen obstructing glowing effects and the movements of a camera that wants to get everything in one take but is too dedicated to its individual compositions to have any notion of fluidity. Maybe I was too harsh on Assassin's Creed earlier this year. Sure, it was disgustingly worthy, its action scenes, especially the chase ones were at least serviceably constructed. A chase here through the Londinium back alleys is so frustratingly incompetent, it's the one from the trailer with the body cams and the unstabilised helicopter shot. No, no, no.
At least that's not as bad as the vision trip, which is composed and inserted into this plot in a way that defies comprehension, like someone decided to put a bollocks music video right in the middle of their film. Like, a move so useless and self-indulgent that everyone in the same building as the production should have screamed in protest. And it leads to a revelation so fucking obvious that you wonder if this joint weren't the result of some Suicide Squad type screwing. Like the point where a giant snake rolls on into a castle, and that's our reality now, that's it, giant snake, no explanation. Just like the rest of the goddamn joint.
Returning to Daniel Pemberton's soundtrack I find I quite like it. Its percussive rush and scratchy strings tickle the parts of me that are like sparks. Maybe I just dislike it in the context of the movie. The main theme is solid, but when it's leading into that damn title sequence it's just irritating and needling.
I guessing by the way this film pokes and teases around Merlin, a series of the worst, worst round table jokes as the end, that someone somewhere thought it'd turn into a franchise.

National Coffee Day: Panama Fakes and Failures!
Panama has been associated with some fabricated plots. There were the John Le Carre book The Tailor of Panama that was turned into a film, the location shoot of the Quantum of Solace (in Panama, doubling as a country in South America), and the Canoeist faking death, just to mention a few.
Then there was the coffee scandal.
In 1996 in California, a certain Michel Norton, owner of Kona Kai Coffee was sentenced to 30 months in prison. Apparently for an extended period of time (some reckoned a decade may not be an over estimate), cheaper and "lower grade" Panamanian and Costa Rican coffee were used to pass off as "Pure Kona Coffee".
Cheaper, certainly, as you would not otherwise be doing it. But, INFERIOR? I think many would certainly dispute that. I do not think you can really use an inferior product to pass off as something superior and fool people for long.
So the Ambassador of Panama in Washington D.C. wrote to the New York Times:
I read with amusement about the indictment of a coffee supplier on selling fraudulently marked beans to retailers (news article, Nov. 13).
Without making light of the charges, I am pleased that the coffee buyer for Peet's Coffee and Tea is uncertain that he can tell the difference between the ''cheaper'' Panamanian beans allegedly substituted for the more expensive Kona.
Panama's coffee is among the world's best. In fact, members of my staff have seen Panamanian beans for sale at high-end coffeehouses for little less than Kona. Perhaps we can arrange a taste test of Kona and Panamanian coffee for the sellers mentioned in the article. I am sure that no one will be more pleased with the results than my native coffee growers.
EDUARDO MORGAN
Ambassador of Panama, Washington
The Cockroach Catcher was fortunate enough to have visited both Costa Rica and Panama. Costa Rica coffee is quite well known but few people realise that Panama produces coffee. I was determined to find out more about coffee grown in Panama.
Plants need to struggle to produce the kind of 'poison' against diseases, and coffee apparently is no different. This is well known for wine: vines grown in abundant sunshine may produce wine with a high alcohol content but does not produce enough of the 'poison' that humans love — we call the 'poison'----- anti-oxidants.
Now even for the wonder malaria drug, Artemisinin, the plant Artemisia annua if cultivated with good fertilisers will not produce the anti-malaria ingredient at all.
Yes, plants need to struggle. Shade, and a misty atmosphere all work together to help the coffee shrubs struggle and help certain varieties of to develop health conferring properties, although the yield is lower than if you apply fertilisers and cut away the shading trees.
David Cameron & The NHS: Politician & The Panama Canal
It is a common practice for politicians to ignore professional advice. As The Cockroach Catcher, his wife and friends cruise across this greatest of all human endeavour, he likes to re-post one of the Panama Posts.Sometimes they might get away with it; sometimes it led to failure, gross failure as in the case of the French attempt at building the Panama Canal.Can we really learn anything from such a colossal failure.
Panama Canal © 2008 Am Ang Zhang
Most people probably know about the French failure to build the Panama Canal. Many thought that this was due to yellow fever and malaria which were diseases thought to be due to some toxic fume from exposed soil.
Extracted from the Official Website: Panama Canal Authority /French Construction
In 1879, Ferdinand Marie de Lesseps, with the success he had with the construction of the Suez Canal in Egypt just ten years earlier, proposed a sea level canal through Panama. He was no engineer but a career politician and he rejected outright what the chief engineer for the French Department of Bridges and Highways, Baron Godin de Lépinay proposed, a lock canal.
The engineer was no match for a career politician:
"There was no question that a sea level canal was the correct type of canal to build and no question at all that Panama was the best and only place to build it. Any problems – and, of course, there would be some - would resolve themselves, as they had at Suez."
"The resolution passed with 74 in favour and 8 opposed. The 'no' votes included de Lépinay and Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. Thirty-eight Committee members were absent and 16, including Ammen and Menocal, abstained. The predominantly French 'yea' votes did not include any of the five delegates from the French Society of Engineers. Of the 74 voting in favor, only 19 were engineers and of those, only one, Pedro Sosa of Panama, had ever been in Central America."
The French failed in a spectacular fashion.
Cost to the French: $287 Million (1893 dollars) or $6.8 Billion (2007 dollars)
Many reasons can be stated for the French failure, but it seems clear that the principal reason was de Lesseps' stubbornness in insisting on and sticking to the sea level plan. But others were at fault also for not opposing him, arguing with him and encouraging him to change his mind. His own charisma turned out to be his enemy. People believed in him beyond reason.
Could any of us learn anything from this experience?

Finland & Suicide: Settled Medical Science!
Medicine progresses and new discoveries are made though not necessary all that often. Compare with transistor and electronic technology medicine is the tortoise.
Yet, there are things we thought were a given at Medical School. Certainly, functions of well known Vitamins such as A, D & C. Vaccination against Smallpox. Endocrine conditions such as Thyrotoxicosis and Type 1 Diabetes. Stress and Peptic Ulcer is more or less a given. This is the phenomenon of "settled medical science", next topic please.
We have at our school a wonderful teacher in endocrinology. Coming to think of it, a great one in haematology, GI disorders and I am not even venturing out to other specialties. Of course all our teachers were British trained and many became really the parents of medicine in Hong Kong.
We were so proud of our teachers that we have acquired a degree of arrogance about certain areas of medicine. We certainly know all there is to know about Thyroid, Diabetes and Thalassaemia. Peptic Ulcer is an interesting one as our Professor, Old Mac is not happy and decided that we should only call it Ulcer Syndrome, and as with other syndrome diagnosis, it implies that we still do not know. It has taken nearly another three decades before someone else proved that he was right.
September 2012 ©2012 Am Ang Zhang
So in 1996, I was in Finland for a World Congress in Infant Psychiatry more or less during the longest daylight week of the whole year. Walking back with some Finnish Child Psychiatrists back to our University Accommodation at well past 11 at night when it was still bright, my Finnish colleagues jokingly said that in Finland, people started contemplating suicide after the Summer Solstice.
That Finland has the highest suicide rate of any first world country is well known and ever since the popularity of the diagnosis of SAD, it was naturally assumed that darkness in the Finnish Winter must have contributed to their famous suicide rate. I was back to Finland in 2012, this time for an extended Autumn holiday. Researching before travel uncovered some medical information that surprised me.
Extensive research in Finland[1] revealed that the highest rates of suicide started in May peaking at Summer solstice and tailing off symmetrically in July.
Our key finding of statistical significance demonstrates the increased suicide mortality on nationwide level in Finland during the period from May 14th to July 25th. This 76-day period covers symmetrically both sides of summer solstice. During this period there is only 1 to 4 hours of darkness during the night in Helsinki but no darkness at all in Oulu.
This is a high quality research that came out in 2011 in a country where suicide rate is high although in recent years, they have done much in terms of improving mental health care that has quite dramatically moved Finland out of the top few countries.
As I have stated earlier, there are subjects we studied in medical school and had the confident impression that our knowledge on some conditions were complete! Now let us concentrate on other newer conditions. Settled Medical Science indeed.

Barbados!
Those of you who managed to catch the first Chapter "The Seven Minute Cure" will be wondering: Is the Cockroach Catcher famous as Barbados is for the British Celebrities? Some even arrives by Concorde! Used to anyway!
Well, let the truth be told, Am Ang discovered Barbados long before the celebs. He is still very fond of it though he tends to visit when the celebs have left and he can have the beaches to himself. His favourite beach is Accra Beach.
There he has seen hatching turtles marching into the ocean, the few that remains of course.
In Barbados, the Cockroach Catcher also picked up golf, the only addiction where there is no cure, no rehab. None required anyway.
There too he rediscovered his childhood love of snorkeling and he later marveled (in his book of course) at the way mankind took the better part of two decades to come up with a new snorkel design and lamented the sluggishness of medical progress.
Barbados is also the place that has the second highest number of centenarians per capita. Is it the fish they eat, the slower place of life or is it something that we have come to avoid, sunshine?
In the end genetics probably prevail; but one cannot let what is written in one's genes dictate one's life.
"There are two futures,
the future of desire and the future of fate,
and man's reason
has never learnt to separate them."
The Cockroach Catcher Chapter 3 Barbados and Retirement
Barbados, as everyone knows, is an island in the Caribbean. We had never taken a holiday in the Caribbean and it was a shock to friends and colleagues when news broke that we were moving there.
It may seem ironic given my love for my work that I could give it up so easily. The truth is that the unrelenting re-organisation after re-organisation in the NHS had finally taken its toll. I first arrived on this tropical island to accompany my wife to take up a two year posting with her employer less than a week after September 11. We had no idea where the world was heading and if there was going to be any world conflict Barbados seemed to be far enough away from where those conflicts might be. We first stayed in a hotel right by the sea on one of the loveliest beaches in Barbados that to this day remains our favourite.
We arrived in the evening, and in Barbados when the sun goes down it becomes pitch black immediately. Imagine the surprise in the morning when I pushed open the door to the small balcony overlooking the beach and saw the loveliest blue sea that only the white coral sand and Caribbean September sky could conspire to provide. Pure white coral sand tinged with pink and beckoning palm trees complete with gentle surfs was a sight too much to resist.
There is a Buddhist saying: Better save one life than build a seven-storey pagoda. I felt that I had done my duty as a doctor, and could now retire and let the younger generation take over. It would be dishonest of me not to mention my frustration with recent changes in the NHS – no, not changes for the better. The havoc on my physical health together with events of September 11 were the final straw.
I remember bumping into one of the neurologists who retired a year earlier from my hospital. We more or less started at the hospital around the same time and most years we managed to meet up at Glyndebourne.
Glyndebourne is one of those places that started life as a private opera house. The small and intimate opera house proved too small and eventually a new opera house with much bigger capacity was built in its place. Fortunately the gardens were left relatively intact and every year from late spring to late summer operas are performed every evening with an extended interval so that patrons can have a nice champagne picnic in the grounds. Most patrons continue with the Black Tie tradition and the few dissenters just look out of place. It was during one of the dinner intervals as I was ready to open a bottle of champagne when I saw the neurologist. When he learnt that I too was contemplating retirement, he exclaimed, "There is a hell of a lot of life after the NHS, you know."
It was not necessary for him to have said anything as my mind was already made up. On a sunny afternoon in the beautiful setting of Sussex countryside cows grazed on the other side of the ha-ha. How many hours do they have to graze in order to produce a pint of milk for the coffee that we nicely dressed humans consume? Is there a lesson there somewhere?
It is not that difficult to decide that there is more to it than to continue to toil under politicians all purporting to do their absolute best. We all started off with high hopes. Hope for a better health service. Hope for humanity and mankind.
As my first guru and mentor in England put it when I called him with the news of my consultant appointment, "You now only have your retirement to look forward to." How right he was.

Blair & Gang of Four: NHS & The Complicated Plot!
Every day now, someone will write and say the NHS is being privatised. Well, it is more complicated than that and believe me Hunt is just a distraction. May and Stevens are the main plotters and Stevens was the original Gang of Four.
Stevens can in a short time lose so much weight to re-join NHS with his American wife and young children from UnitedHealth.
He either loves the NHS so much that he wanted to save it or there is a more complicated plot. It is unusual for a chief to say hardly anything about Junior Doctors and as the FTs were struggling to provide a barely adequate service, some of Stevens Social Network Savvy left and right hand persons were getting so excited about all these very successful attempts to persuade punters (aka patients) to accept that you do not really need hospitals and hence specialists.
No the NHS is not privatised.
Its is worse, it is being chopped up and sold piece meal to the other punters who if they did not make enough money, hand it back and pocket whatever they have made. Hinchingbrooke, Vanguard Eyes and a number of others. This way it is going to be difficult to put back. It is like chopping a tree, grind up every thing so that is cannot be grafted anywhere else and the roots dug out with diesel poured in for good measure. Nothing will grow back. But the logo of NHS will still be there. Richer people scramble to get insurance that will not pay for everything. Different excuses will be used not to treat you: smoke, too fat, too thin, too demented, exercise too much, too little, too often. They just will not call it rationing but instead: catering for the individual. Juniors trained in this country scramble to the likes of Australia and beyond. Poorer quality ones will try to get in and eventually rules will change to admit them.
Storm?
There is little doubt that the Plot to Dismantle the NHS is on course and going well. The problem with most of us is that we are so confident that the NHS will not be privatised and be run like the US system. Bearing in mind that in the US the State funds much of health care once you are over 65. Most of their citizens are heftily subsidized by the state through Medicare and the poor through Medicaid. That system allows insurers to make the most money when you are young and healthy knowing that you are off their hands at 65.
The current thinking is to keep the NHS as a Kitemark and allow privateers to become providers especially for profitable parts of health care.
In fact the way private medicine operates in England is that many so called private hospitals do not have the capacity nor the wide range to deal with the whole range of cases. In fact when I was still working, the new private hospital was so small it is smaller than our cottage hospital and anyone that needs more attention got ferried to the NHS hospital. No one will ever die in the new private hospital.
The other important aspect of the private / public divide is blurred by the fact that the consultants were nearly always the same ones. Keeping a foot in both camps is an advantage to the consultant as he knew that complicated cases will be dealt with. All of course for the good of the patient.
This was taken to a new level when BUPA for as far as I can remember BUPA will pay any insured if they chose to be operated in anNHS Hospital. Badmouthing of NHS is of little advantage to the likes of BUPA.
In some big cities, private hospitals take over most of the orthopaedic work as it is easy to price and unlike psychiatry, outcome is more predictable. Both private and NHS patients are treated there and as far as I can judge, the only difference is that private patients and relatives are offered high quality Cappuccinos and NHS ones, filtered coffees.
In places like Singapore, people preferred to pay for Primary Care for quick and easier access but chose State Hospitals for major surgery or complicated cancer treatment. It is not entirely free but as most are employed a system of insurance style funding leaves Singapore with a world class health care at a fraction of the cost of say US ones.
Singapore also managed to keep the State run hospitals at tip top quality but very reasonable cost.
This in fact was the problem with trying to privatise the suppliers to different NHS services. NHS hospital was too cheap and no privateer could offer services anywhere near.
So according to Colin Leys, the first step in privatising these supplies is by a very shrewd move:
To overcome this was the real aim of the Independent Sector Treatment Centre (ISTC) programme. ISTCs are small stand-alone clinics specialising in standard low-risk procedures, chiefly cataract removal anIf wd hip and knee replacements. The programme was set in hand in 2002 by a new Commercial Directorate in the Department of Health led by Ken Anderson, a Texan businessman.
….. The real aim of the programme was to put pressure on the existing British private health companies – chiefly BMI, NuffieldHospitals and BUPA's hospitals – to restructure themselves into high-volume lower-cost businesses. This was done by giving very lucrative and risk-free contracts to a set of newcomers from overseas such as Netcare from South Africa and Capio from Sweden. The incumbent firms were, officially at least, disconcerted, and set about restructuring. The BMI hospital chain started separating its private patient work from its NHS work, aiming to make its NHS work cheap and fast, and was then sold to Netcare in 2006. BUPA sold all its hospitals to a private equity company, Cinven, which set about the same task.
If we are honest, the actual doctors doing the work were the same NHS or Private and in essence there is much increase in spending but no real increase in work load. It is not important as the aim is paving the way for letting much of the work done privately whilst keeping the NHS name.
It is perhaps important to ask the question: how did this all started?
Well if we are honest, it probably started in 1991 with the introduction of Fund Holding. It was the best and the worst of the market system that I have personally seen as the system in no time created a two tier Health Care system. Our Trust lost much money from a Fund Holder that referred high number of cases but ran out of money.
Labour's Gang of Four:
Milburn, Stevens, Penny and Corrigan in 2000 and the NHS Plan was published.
The NHS Plan, which was published in the same month, July 2000, was written by a team that included Stevens, Dash, Corrigan and Milburn. It mentioned the main elements of the shift to a market, but it disguised them as mere improvements in the existing system.
Colin Leys again:
In my innocence, I dismissed this as a far-right fantasy. What I didn't realise was that his vision was shared, to a greater or lesser extent, by a small number of people at the heart of government, especially Blair's senior health policy adviser, Simon Stevens, Milburn's adviser Paul Corrigan, and a significant number of senior staff in the Department of Health including, critically, its young director of strategy and planning, Dr Penny Dash, and Milburn himself. They all thought that to make the NHS efficient it should be reformed into a kind of healthcare market.
Interestingly the only one left to carry out overtly the plan is Simon Stevens. It fitted in with the revolving door pattern.
The players: the insiders: the 'policy community', corporate heavies, management consultants, think-tankers, freelancers and hired hands, including some academics and doctors. They can use the 'revolving door': company envoys can get jobs in the Department of Health, and ex-ministers and officials can get well paid jobs in the private sector.
Foundation Trusts:
But the central point about foundation trusts is that the contracts they make are legally enforceable, and if they run up unsustainable debts they won't be bailed out by the Department of Health. This means that they become fully exposed to the risk of bankruptcy. The independent regulator, Monitor, can step in and impose new management on a foundation trust that is heading for bankruptcy, or let it close and get its work taken over by other providers. This means that the crux of all policy decisions in the hospital becomes financial. Foundation trusts don't have to pay dividends to shareholders but in all other respects they have to behave like private companies. Milburn's aim was that all NHS trusts should become foundation trusts by 2008.
But they couldn't behave like companies unless their income was related to their performance. So Milburn also introduced payment by results. Each completed treatment was to be accounted and paid for individually. This involved putting a price on every procedure, a price that varies according to the different level of cost and risk posed by each category of patient. These prices were fixed. For the time being competition was to be on quality alone. But once a system of payment based on price per treatment was in place, price competition could then be quite easily introduced.
Unfortunately as far as PFI is concerned, FTs cannot go bankrupt. What a pity. Metronet did!
Smart move: Do not call it reform!
This is the brilliance of Simon Stevens. Without having to go through parliament a new wave of so called Vanguard schemes was brought in for the famous Five Year Forward View.
Simon understands Social Media and employed people that are good at it. Vanguard NHS is evolving like a parallel universe where everybody is so enthusiastic some of them should perhaps have therapy. The other universe in the meantime are facing a crises that was perhaps part of the plan. But with Junior Doctors striking for the first time in nearly 4 decades it makes you wonder if these Vanguard places really have Juniors doctors?
Then there are catastrophic failures, first of Hinchingbrooke, then UnitingCare. Not to mention ISTC failures. They are just little hiccups and nobody seemed to say much about it.
The Guardian:
The Department of Health created a commercial directorate to oversee the plan to privatise the NHS. A group of passionate market advocates were hired to transform a public sector institution into a target for private sector takeover. People such as Mark Britnell, who was the Department of Health's director general for commissioning when Labour was in office and who later joined KPMG – able to sell his experience in government to the world of management consulting – have now been outed as agents for the merciless dismemberment of the NHS. There was a revolving door between civil servants in the department and McKinsey, KPMG and Deloitte. Ex-ministers, such as Patricia Hewitt and Lord Warner, traded their knowledge of NHS privatisation with those who could benefit in the commercial sector.
Will NHS England revert back to just NHS? I doubt. But Simon can blame his American wife and young children if he wanted to go back to Minnesota. After all there is Mayo Clinic there and they have never changed.
Or would J.C. Penny some day take on Simon?
Or would we some day read that: Big dreams, arrogance, infighting, and delusion all collided in the disastrous attempt to fix NHS England!

Effort fails to recall two Redding City Councilors
Less than an hour before deadline, organizers tell City Clerk they will not be submitting petitions. They needed 9,857 signatures.
Effort fails to recall two Redding City Councilors Less than an hour before deadline, organizers tell City Clerk they will not be submitting petitions. They needed 9,857 signatures. Check out this story on redding.com: http://reddingne.ws/2iDsZd4

Redding City Councilwomen Kristen Schreder and Francie Sullivan have survived an effort to recall them.
City Clerk Pam Mize said late Tuesday afternoon that she received a call from a representative from the Shasta County Recall Committee telling her that recall supporters would not be bringing in signatures later that day, the deadline to do so.

Supporters needed 9,857 signatures and they had until 5 p.m. Tuesday to turn them into City Hall. Recall backers announced their petition drive in June. City officials said a special election could cost more than $200,000.
"They informed me they would not be submitting petitions today and they will be releasing a statement on social media soon," Mize said. "As of 5 o'clock today, it will be officially over."
In a Facebook post, a leader of the recall campaign announced the process would not move forward. The writer did not identify him or herself.
The post on the Redding City Council Recall page said the community has made it clear it wants November 2018 to be the time for "decisions and direction." That's when the city is scheduled to have its next elections.
Schreder struck a conciliatory note, saying this chapter is "behind us" and people contacting her tell her they can move forward working together.
"My door has always been and continues to be open to anyone who wants to discuss community concerns that are important to them," Schreder said. "We can concentrate on working together on our shared community concerns."
"It's a relief to have it over," a grateful Sullivan said minutes after the deadline passed.
She said she recognizes such recall petition drives are part of the democratic system and vowed to work harder in her role as a council member.
"I hope we can have more success with getting our community to work more together to make Redding as good a place as it can be," she said.
The Facebook post blames not being able to collect sufficient signatures on apathy, likening it to a race that has enthusiasm from spectators at the starting line who then disappear as the runners take off.
The writer also takes personal responsibility for the results.
"For those that made the effort, you are owed an apology for my failure to address the weaknesses during the process and falling short of making our goal," the post reads in part.
Ultimately, the public was not comfortable spending money on a special election when budgets are tight, the post said.
Shannon Hicks, one of the recall leaders, believes that despite falling short, some good came out of the effort.
"The thing that comes to mind for me ... what can be perceived as a failure to reach the number of petitions, really kind of fired up the grassroots politics in our city and reminded people that change can be affected regardless of this recall," Hicks said. "I think more people are aware and there is more activism at City Council meetings."
Among the complaints that drove the recall effort were concerns over crime, spending and the council's perceived lack of focus on public safety. Supporters also pointed to the raises the council approved for two department heads in November 2016, just days after Redding voters rejected a half-cent sales tax meant to fund more police, firefighters and Shasta County jail beds.
Schreder, Sullivan and Mayor Brent Weaver were elected to four-year terms in November 2014. Their terms expire next December.
Schreder has announced she will be seeking re-election in November 2018.

Q: Php online examination #confusee I am working on a project that has to do with urrrh An online examination and I was in the middle of the project and I got confused
Here it goes
I want the questions loaded out of the database which I already did,
I created a column in the database with the name question_number
So with that column I will have to insert 50 questions I.e 1-50
After inserting the questions I will have to fetch them out, I do and I fetched them out on a buttons I.e
Here is where I'm confused
All the questions are out and all the buttons are working

how will I echo first question from the database to be the first question on the page
when number two question is clicked from the button I want it to show on the same page
After that when all those are set and after the questions and options are out

When the user chooses an option or answers a specific question  and clicks on another question number and it loads, how will I store the question answered until the user clicks final submit all button and it will submit all the answered question
Here is the code I'm working with.
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM year2011 WHERE subject_cat = 'English' AND question_number = '1' ORDER BY question_number ASC";
$result = $con->query($query) or die(mysqli_error($con));
$rows = $result->num_rows;
while($res = $result->fetch_assoc()): ?>

<?php echo $res["question_text"]; ?>

 <input type="radio" id="english_option" name="english_option" value="<?= $res['option_a']; ?>">  <?= $res['option_a']; ?>

    <input type="radio" id="english_option2" name="english_option" value="<?= $res['option_b']; ?>">  <?= $res['option_b']; ?>

    <input type="radio" id="english_option3" name="english_option" value="<?= $res['option_c']; ?>">  <?= $res['option_c']; ?>

    <input type="radio" id="english_option4" name="english_option" value="<?= $res['option_d']; ?>">  <?= $res['option_d']; ?>

    <?php $query = "SELECT * FROM year2011 WHERE subject_cat = 'English' ORDER BY question_number ASC";
    $result = $con->query($query) or die(mysqli_error($con));
    $rows = $result->num_rows;
    while($res = $result->fetch_assoc()){
        if($res['question_number'] == 1) { ?>
            <button class='btn btn-group'><?=$res['question_number']; ?></button> <?php
        }else { ?>
            <button class='btn btn-group btn-success'><?=$res['question_number']; ?></button><?php
        }
     }
endwhile;?>

A: I had a quick look and and this part doesn't look right
<?=$res['question_number']; ?>

which is in your if statement. Should be
<?php echo $res['question_number']; ?>

same problem for your else statement and radio buttons.
Also in your if statement, you will need to run the intval() function to convert from string to int.
intval($res['question_number'])
This code should do the trick.
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM year2011 WHERE subject_cat = 'English' AND question_number = '1' ORDER BY question_number ASC";
$result = $con->query($query) or die(mysqli_error($con));
$rows = $result->num_rows;
while($res = $result->fetch_assoc()): ?>

<?php echo $res["question_text"]; ?>

 <input type="radio" id="english_option" name="english_option" value="<?php echo $res['option_a']; ?>">  <?php echo $res['option_a']; ?>

<input type="radio" id="english_option2" name="english_option" value="<?php echo $res['option_b']; ?>">  <?php echo $res['option_b']; ?>

<input type="radio" id="english_option3" name="english_option" value="<?php echo $res['option_c']; ?>">  <?php echo $res['option_c']; ?>

<input type="radio" id="english_option4" name="english_option" value="<?php echo $res['option_d']; ?>">  <?php echo $res['option_d']; ?>

<?php $query = "SELECT * FROM year2011 WHERE subject_cat = 'English' ORDER BY question_number ASC";
$result = $con->query($query) or die(mysqli_error($con));
$rows = $result->num_rows;
while($res = $result->fetch_assoc()){
    if(intval($res['question_number']) == 1) { ?>
        <button class='btn btn-group'><?php echo $res['question_number']; ?></button> <?php
    }else { ?>
        <button class='btn btn-group btn-success'><?php echo $res['question_number']; ?></button><?php
    }
 }
endwhile;?>

Rest of your code looks fine.

All About Palm Spring's History
HomePalm Springs Guest InformationAll About Palm Spring's History
From its Hollywood glamour to its scenic appeal, Palm Springs has long been a beloved vacation destination for travelers from near and far. That said, Palm Springs history is packed with history that's worth exploring while you're visiting too! Here, we'll take a brief look at the story behind how Palm Springs grew into the popular hot spot for travel that it is today.
Ancient Roots
Long before Palm Springs was dotted with upscale shops, restaurants, and golf courses, it was home to the Cahuilla people. Researchers put this tribe's arrival in the Palm Springs area to around 2,000 years ago. The Cahuilla name for Palm Springs was Se-Khi which translates to boiling water. Today, petroglyphs and irrigation ditches crafted by the Cahuilla tribe can still be seen throughout the Indians Canyons, Chino, and Tahquitz areas.
European Arrivals
The history of Palm Springs estimates that the first Spanish explorers to begin settling in the Palm Springs area arrived in the early 1770s. By 1876, Southern Pacific Railroad lines were being built through the area to connect Palm Springs with a thriving commerce route. The early 1900s saw businesses flourishing across Palm Springs.
A Booming Tourist and Celebrity Destination
By the 1930s, Palm Springs had developed a reputation as a great getaway spot based on its idyllic weather and beautiful surroundings. Celebrities began fleeing to Palm Springs to get out of the glaring lights of Hollywood when they needed a break from all of the attention. As wealth and influence grew in Palm Springs, the city's architecture took a turn for the incredibly unique. Today, visitors are still treated to an architectural scene that blends the past and present with just the right amount of glamour to hold it all together.
A Modern-Day Scenic California Retreat
These days, Palm Springs remains a vacation destination that's loved for its versatility, beauty, and proximity to big city living too. Situated no more than 107 miles from Los Angeles, it's an escape of sorts without being out of reach. A visit this way can still include a look back at celebrity homes of the past but can also be laced with upscale dining, delightful shopping stops and time relaxing and enjoying your surroundings if that's preferred. From the Palm Springs Walk of Stars to stunning desert-scapes, it's a place that has long thrilled and continues to do so.
