Q: Make the TextBox size adapt to column size in GridView wpf? Hi I am using a TextBox inside a GridView column cell.
I am correctly able to place and bind the data for the TextBox in the 'Parameter' column.
<ListView Margin="5"
          ItemsSource="{Binding Variables}"
          Grid.Column="0"
          Grid.Row="1"
          Width="570">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn Header="Type" Width="40"/>
            <GridViewColumn Header="Parameter" Width="80">
                <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <TextBox Text="{Binding ParameterName}"
                                 Padding="0"
                                 Margin="0"
                                 Width="Auto"
                                 HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"/>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
            </GridViewColumn>
            <GridViewColumn Header="Expression" Width="80"/>
            <GridViewColumn Header="Value" Width="50"/>
            <GridViewColumn Header="Default Value" Width="80"/>
            <GridViewColumn Header="Value Type" Width="80"/>
            <GridViewColumn Header="Show in UI" Width="80"/>
            <GridViewColumn Header="Description" Width="80"/>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

I want such that the TextBox width correctly adapts to the width of the 'Parameter' column, even when I try to resize the columns.
I have tried setting the Width and HorizontalContentAlignment properties of TextBox but was not succesful.
Right now it looks like as below:

Can anyone suggest how I can achieve this behavior?

A: You can add an item container style for ListViewItem that sets the HorizontalContentAlignment to Stretch. You can remove the HorizontalContentAlignment attribute from the TextBox.
<ListView Margin="5"
          ItemsSource="{Binding Variables}"
          Grid.Column="0"
          Grid.Row="1"
          Width="570">
   <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
      <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
         <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
      </Style>
   </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
   <ListView.View>
      <GridView>
         <GridViewColumn Header="Type" Width="40"/>
         <GridViewColumn Header="Parameter" Width="80">
            <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
               <DataTemplate>
                  <TextBox Text="{Binding ParameterName}"
                           Padding="0"
                           Margin="0"
                           Width="Auto"/>
               </DataTemplate>
            </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
         </GridViewColumn>
         <GridViewColumn Header="Expression" Width="80"/>
         <GridViewColumn Header="Value" Width="50"/>
         <GridViewColumn Header="Default Value" Width="80"/>
         <GridViewColumn Header="Value Type" Width="80"/>
         <GridViewColumn Header="Show in UI" Width="80"/>
         <GridViewColumn Header="Description" Width="80"/>
      </GridView>

The economy can be rehabilitated, wildlife cannot. Do we have a chance to stop relying on oil and gas?
The Great Australian Bight is home to 277 marine life species that are completely new to science. It also happens to hold the equivalent of 1.9 billion barrels of oil. In conversation with Alexandra Malanicheva
In March 2019, a group of forty people paddled out on their surfboards, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards into the Pacific Ocean, in an Australian town called Byron Bay. The peaceful protest was organized in the wake of a Norwegian energy giant Equinor's plans to drill a deepwater (2,239 m water depth) oil well 370 km offshore in the Great Australian Bight, one of most unique marine ecosystems in the world. This paddle-out was tiny in comparison to the scale of ones that happened in the following months, seeing thousands of people paddle out in separate events across Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and Western Australia. But for Alexandra Malanicheva, a 24-year-old filmmaker who organized the Byron Bay protest, it was a turning point that set her on the path to creating an environmental documentary, Crude Expectations.
Fight for the Bight protest in Byron bay in march 2019, The Pass
Malanicheva grew up in Russia – a country well-known for its oil and gas production and a lack of transparency. Having moved to Australia to complete her Masters degree in Media Journalism, it was witnessing random people come together for a common cause, conceiving a documentary without a budget and a proper backing. «It felt like an army, a positive army. People shared how they would never want to see any animals or the ocean hurt», she said.
The Great Australian Bight is located in South and Western Australia and is known as one the most pristine marine environments in the world. More than 85 percent of its known species are found nowhere else, and the region is home to marine resources and wildlife, including endangered species such as humpback, blue and southern right whales, southern bluefin tuna, Australian sea lions and an array of invertebrate ecosystems. In recent years, research by The Great Australian Bight Research Program has been conducted in the area, finding 277 species that are completely new to science. It provides critical habitats and migration pathways, supporting a multi-billion dollar wild fisheries, tourism economy and aquaculture industries which sustain local indigenous and non-indigenous communities. The Great Australian Bight is also considered to be one of the most prospective under-explored oil and gas provinces in the world. It is estimated that the Bight could hold the equivalent of 1.9 billion barrels of oil. It's not just any oil that it's abundant with – it's the light sweet crude oil, considered the golden goose of the industry. The most sought-after type of petroleum: easier to refine or distill, and transport. At the same time, it's these characteristics that makes it toxic, because if spilled, it spreads rapidly.
After a number of demonstrations across the country where approximately ten thousand people protested against fossil fuel extraction in a marine wilderness area and a legal action threat, in February 2020 Equinor has announced a decision to pull out from the $200m deepwater drill project. A victory for the environment groups as well as the locals, however, Malanicheva says that the threat still remains. Almost a third of the oil and a quarter of the natural gas consumed in the world come from underwater areas, and companies are still pursuing new exploration drilling locations. Equinor is the third major oil company to abandon plans to drill in the Bight. Before that there was BP in 2011 and Chevron – two oil giants who walked away after a public backlash. BP, being the one responsible for the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, said in the official statement that «BP is a long-term, significant investor in Australia […] We expect to continue to consider further opportunities to invest and grow our business here».
Oil spill, Gulf of Mexico, ph. Daniel Beltrá
Even though the plans got scrapped in these individual cases, there isn't such a thing as international legislation when it comes to exploratory oil drilling and the Great Australian Bight is still up for grabs. «Companies can come to Australia, which doesn't have a national minimum standards of safety and do whatever they want, without much responsibility. Ethically speaking, they should be responsible if something happens, but technically speaking, they're not because it's another country's area» says Malanicheva. «They are going to the other side of the planet and risking an insane amount of marine animals and largely unexplored areas for their own economic benefit». National legislation regulating offshore oil and gas activities is unreliable and fluctuating – some addressing only parts of the drilling lifecycle such as production stage, others simply failing to control, monitor and implement the laws. An international agreement simply doesn't exist, except the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea's (UNCLOS) relevant provisions guidelines. There is little coordination or sharing of experience between different regions and countries involved in offshore drilling.
Equinor, formerly known as Statoil, has had near-catastrophic incidents in its Norway offshore operations in the past. All the spills occurred from its ocean rig called the Erik Raude. In 2007, 25,000 barrels (4,000 m3) of oil leaked into the North Sea. After which, two more leaks occurred and a drop of hazardous materials in the sea. It would be unfair to say that since then the company hasn't done any damage control or changed their approach in any way. Prior to withdrawing from the Bight, they've published a draft environment plan, outlining the response to risks associated with the project, including the possibility of a major spill, proclaiming 'drilling can be done safely'. This step towards transparency is commendable, however, it raises a question – is it worth it? As Malanicheva raises this subject in Crude Expectations, she asks «How many environmentally devastating disasters have to happen across the world for us to change our ways, for some legislation to come about? We don't need more oil. We know we can't afford to put more CO2 in the atmosphere».
What would actually happen if the oil spill occurred? In a risk assessment based on a hundred oil spill simulations, Equinor estimated a 4.3 million barrels of oil spilled in the worst case scenario. The consequences of a spill of that magnitude in the Bight could be catastrophic. It would become as the explosion of BP's Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, which spread over 1,000 miles of shoreline, killed eleven people and had long-lasting effects on marine life. Whilst the clean-up could be seen as efficient due to a quick response from the neighbouring infrastructures, the Bight doesn' have any. If an accident in the Bight did happen, it would have a lethal impact on thousands of marine species, contaminating hundreds of kilometres of shoreline and damaging the productive nearshore kelp ecosystems of the Great Southern Reef. And it wouldn't be notices straightaway. It could potentially spread into the ocean between Esperance in Western Australia, Sydney and Tasmania. Although, one of the government's arguments for the drilling was that it would bring a number of economic benefits to the region, the damage done as a result of a spill is a lot more considerable. It cost US$62bn for BP to deal with the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon spill. It would affect commercial and recreational fisheries, as well tourism which will cause the coastal communities gigantic financial losses. Whilst the economy can eventually be rehabilitated, the wildlife cannot. Given the effects a spill could have, protections and strict laws are long overdue.

Supported by Greenpeace and The Wilderness Society, Crude Expectation dives into the ethicality,as well as discussing whether we have a chance of not relying on oil and gas as much, if there's a future with renewable energy. Although worldwide energy is responsible for two-thirds of greenhouse-gas emissions and fossil fuels are the ultimate source of 85 percent of energy, the current situation suggests that we are living through an oil slump, in the aftermath of Covid-19 hitting the global economy. The demand for oil has decreased by more than by more than a fifth and the prices have collapsed. There is a future for renewable energy, all it requires is a bold action. And bold actions are increasingly influenced by the public opinion. Concerns over climate change has already forced a number of big players to rethink costly energy projects – a Canadian mining giant Teck Resources scrapping its $20bn tar sands project, amongst others. When researching for the documentary, Malanicheva realised how hidden and inaccessible legitimate information about the business of oil is «I was horrified to find out the amount of coal and oil Australia produces under the current government. Nobody knows it's there, unless they have a specific interest in it. It's a very underexposed situation, an under-covered issue, in the way that people will bother to read»
If the bold action is indeed taken, renewable electricity such as solar and wind power could rise from 5 percent of supply today to 25 percent in 2035, and nearly 50 percent by 2050. The shift towards electric vehicles, more environmentally-conscious company policies, green-infrastructure plans backed by politicians and a general wake-up call about climate change can and will bring us a step closer to eliminating devastating droughts, famine, floods and mass dislocation, as well as full-blown climate catastrophe. Decarbonising energy can be a solution for much bigger issues. Educating the masses by bringing forward expert opinions and young voices is the way forward, according to Malanicheva and her London-based co-producer Sara Antonova. «What we're trying to do with the film is to dissect a very complicated system into more or less simple words with a case study of this specific issue, the Great Australian Bight. We are trying to explain in simple words what is happening and why, so that when people go out to hopefully take action they are equipped with information. Understanding the system is vital». She highlights how integral it is to be politically active these days, to be aware of what's going on in the governments, sustainability, whether in your own country or elsewhere. «We are trying to do justice to both sides of the conversation, or it can quickly turn into propaganda. I don't feel like brainwashing people, guilt tripping in them or pointing fingers».
Even though three international oil giants abandoned their plans to drill in the Bight, the government still hasn't given the South Australian community certainty and permanent protection for the Great Australian Bight. Three other companies also have interests in Bight exploration permits: Murphy Oil Corp., Santos Ltd. and Bight Petroleum Corp. Equinor also holds an exploration permit offshore Western Australia and said it would continue with other ongoing activities in the country. The government remains committed to encouraging "the safe"" development of Australia's offshore petroleum resources. The Greens environment spokeswoman and a South Australian senator Sarah Hanson Young has proposed a legislation that would put the Bight under the world heritage protection. Crude Expectations is launching a 30-day crowdfunding campaign which will push the project to a new stage of production. «We are surrounded by facts and facts don't change people's minds – good stories do» Malanicheva says as she assembles a crew of volunteers and industry professionals to produce a heartfelt product, which might just nudge the change to happen.

You are here: Home / Adoption Feature / The garden is coming together!
Looks fabulous, Mary! I'm looking forward to seeing your new home in July when I visit. Thanks for sharing the glimpse of your yard with us.
Beautiful! You have good garden sense planning for sun, shade, etc. I can't wait to see how tall the Pampas grass gets! Love your seating area and the water hose filling the pet dishes! Thanks for sharing. I have been following your blog for years now and look forward to your posts.
You're doing a great job making a beautiful and hard working area!
O Mary, this is beautiful!
It reminded me about my little garden back in WA . We just move to Boise area and have little bit of fenced yard. I like to plant some veggies there. Since I am new to the area and know nothing……can you please tell me what kind of tomatoes grow good in this climate and where is a good place to buy plants and gardening items? If you can point out food stores that have good prices I will appreciate that so much! I live by Albertson and Fred Meyer , but those are expensive for my family of seven… Thank you so much for doing what are you doing!
Winco is the best overall for prices. And I hear that Lowes sells locally grown plants which will make it more likely they are varieties that thrive in our area. For tomatoes, we like Early Girl, Better Boy, and Beefsteak….
Love your yard. For what it's worth, my parents' pampas grass easily gets 10 feet tall. The surrounding yard is buffalo grass for drought tolerance, and none of it gets a lot of water.
It develops in a ring, by the way. So the older it gets, the more open the middle will be. If you don't divide it, some 25 years later it'll be four feet across with a 3-foot hide-and-seek spot in the middle.

Q: The deferred antipattern, how to handle rejects? I understand what is The deferred antipattern, also mentioned as "The Forgotten Promise" HERE.
I also read: what-is-the-explicit-promise-construction-antipattern-and-how-do-i-avoid-it.
Anyways I should try to get rid of using $q.defer().
But I don't understand how to handle case where I got response and I need to reject it because it doesn't have proper key.
This is my method in Service that returns promise to controller.
self.findTime = function(data){

  var deferred = $q.defer();

   apiClient.findTime(data)
      .then(function (response) {

         if (response.result !== "success") {
            deferred.reject(response);
         }

        deferred.resolve(response);
      }
      , function (error) {
      deferred.reject(error);
        console.error(error);
      });

      return deferred.promise;
};

So I tried to change it to:
self.findTime = function(data){

   return apiClient.findTime(data)
      .then(function (response) {

         if (response.result !== "success") {
            // return WHAT ??? <-------------
         }
        return response;
      }
      , function (error) {
      // return WHAT ??? <-------------
        console.error(error);
   });
};

How to handle reject?
In controller, on reject  I show some morning message.
 Service.findTime(data).then(function (response) {
   // do something
    }, function (error) {
      // show warn dialog
 });

A: You have two options.
You can return a rejection promise from within your resolve:
return apiClient.findTime(data)
    .then(function (response) {
        if (response.result !== "success") {
            return $q.reject('reason'); // Convert to rejection
        }
        return response;
    }, function (error) {
        console.error(error);
        return $q.reject('reason');  // Chain rejection
    });

or you can throw an exception:
return apiClient.findTime(data)
    .then(function (response) {
        if (response.result !== "success") {
            throw new Error('reason');
        }
        return response;
    }, function (error) {
        console.error(error);
        throw new Error(error);
    });

Bitmain Hits $15 Billion Valuation With Recent Backing From Uber's Largest Shareholder
August 7, 2018 Bitcoin, Bitcoin Mining, Bitmain, Blockchain, China, Hong Kong, IPO, Japan coins 0
Bitcoin mining hardware manufacturer Bitmain is now valued at $15 billion after closing a pre-IPO funding round with backing from tech giants Tencent and Softbank.
Bitcoin (BTC) mining behemoth Bitmain is now valued at $15 billion after closing a pre-Initial Public Offering (IPO) funding round with backing from high-profile investors, QQ News reported August 4.
The fresh financing deal, which is said to have closed on Saturday, notably includes investments from Chinese tech conglomerate Tencent and Japan's Softbank, another tech giant whose 15 percent stake in Uber makes it the drive-hailing app's largest shareholder.
Tencent, meanwhile, is the developer of China's dominant social media platform WeChat, which has over 1 billion global users and outstripped Facebook's market cap by $72 billion in March of this year.
According to QQ, Bitmain is planning to launch its IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this September at an estimated valuation of $30 billion. As Cointelegraph previously reported, Bitmain's CEO Jihan Wu hinted at plans for the IPO in early June.
In February 2018, Bitmain reportedly held 70-80 percent of the global market for Bitcoin mining hardware, and posted between $3 and $4 billion in operating profits in 2017 — higher than American graphics processing unit (GPU) manufacturer Nvidia.
At the end of July, Fortune reported that Bitmain earned around $1 billion in net profit for the first quarter of 2018, the same month it closed a $300-400 million Series B funding round which inched its valuation upward to $12 billion.
Meanwhile, another Chinese crypto mining giant, Canaan Creative, is planning to launch its own IPO — also on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Just yesterday, Bitmain revealed it will construct a $500 million blockchain data center and mining facility in Texas as part of its expansion into the U.S. market, hoping to initiate the center's operations by early 2019.

Welcome back to the Arts Library!
Our librarians have already met many new students through orientation sessions, and look forward to meeting more of you in the next few weeks. Regular academic year hours resume on Wednesday, September 2, for both the Arts Library and Arts Library Special Collections.
Here is the Arts Databases list we have mentioned in orientation sessions (it's also a permanent link on the Arts Library homepage).
As always, Arts librarians are available to help you with research and/or teaching—just contact us or drop in to say hello! Best wishes for the new year.
Meet your personal librarian at our freshman library reception!
New freshman students will be welcomed to the Library on Wednesday September 16, from 4–5:30pm, at a reception hosted by their personal librarians in the Selin Courtyard, located in Sterling Memorial Library. The Personal Librarian Program pairs every freshman student with their very own librarian and is designed to introduce students entering Yale College to the collections and services of the Yale University Library. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet your personal librarian, enjoy some refreshments, and learn about the exceptional array of resources, collections, expertise and study spaces that the library has to offer.
Personal Librarians contact students occasionally throughout the year to let them know about new databases and tools, upcoming tours of collections or research strategies. They also encourage questions about research or the Library in general. Any questions about the program can be directed to Emily Horning, Director of Undergraduate Research Education and Outreach at: emily.horning@yale.edu or phone 203-432-8211.
The summer/fall issue of Nota Bene: News from the Yale Library is now accessible online. Printed copies are also available on request from librarycommunications@yale.edu. Nota Bene is published three times during the academic year to acquaint the Yale community and others with the resources and collections of the Yale Library, as well as news about projects, exhibitions and events from all around the library system.
Tours of Sterling Memorial (SML) and Bass Libraries, designed especially for new graduate students, are being offered on 3 dates in August – the 25, 26 & 28. Each tour will include the SML stacks and reading rooms, a peek at some unusual collections, and information about important (and useful!) services for students. The tours will begin in the SML nave, just inside the 120 High Street entrance. A Yale ID is required and students are encouraged to register using the link on the date of your choice. See more here for details.
Save the date for the 2015 Day of Data conference on September 18! The theme this year will be innovation and research collaboration currently underway among partners across Yale. Presentations will focus on data produced and analyzed in the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and medicine. Topics and examples of best practices in data collection, analysis, processing, management, storage and sharing will be discussed.
The speakers include Robert Grossman, Director of the Center for Data Intensive Science at the University of Chicago; and Chaitan Baru, Senior Advisor for Data Science, CISE, NSF.
The event is sponsored by the Yale University Library, Yale Information Technology Services, the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, the Institution for Social & Policy Studies, the Institute for Network Science, and the Office of the Provost. All are welcome to attend.
Yale University has the "best college library in America"
A USA Today article reported that Sterling Memorial Library (one of the 15 libraries that comprise the Yale Library system) – which has constantly topped the list of best college libraries in America – has done it again with the Princeton Review naming it the "best college library" in the nation for 2015.
Henricus Martellus, a German cartographer working in Florence in the late 15th century, produced a highly detailed map of the known world. According to experts, there is strong evidence that Christopher Columbus studied this map and that it influenced his thinking before his fateful voyage.
Martellus' map arrived at Yale in 1962, the gift of an anonymous donor. Scholars at the time hailed the map's importance and argued that it could provide a missing link to the cartographic record at the dawn of the Age of Discovery. However, five centuries of fading and scuffing had rendered much of the map's text and other details illegible or invisible, limiting its research value.
A team of researchers and imaging specialists is recovering the lost information through a multispectral-imaging project. Their work is yielding discoveries about how the world was viewed over 500 years ago. Read more in this YaleNews article.

What's the Endgame for Israel?
Jeffrey Goldberg interviews President Obama about the future prospects for Israel if it continues to refuse to negotiate seriously about the creation of a Palestinian state:
OBAMA: I have not yet heard, however, a persuasive vision of how Israel survives as a democracy and a Jewish state at peace with its neighbors in the absence of a peace deal with the Palestinians and a two-state solution. Nobody has presented me a credible scenario….Do you resign yourself to what amounts to a permanent occupation of the West Bank? Is that the character of Israel as a state for a long period of time? Do you perpetuate, over the course of a decade or two decades, more and more restrictive policies in terms of Palestinian movement? Do you place restrictions on Arab-Israelis in ways that run counter to Israel's traditions?
GOLDBERG: You sound worried.
OBAMA: Well, I am being honest that nobody has provided me with a clear picture of how this works in the absence of a peace deal….When I have a conversation with Bibi, that's the essence of my conversation: If not now, when? And if not you, Mr. Prime Minister, then who? How does this get resolved?….And so if I'm thinking about the prime minister of Israel, I'm not somebody who believes that it's just a matter of changing your mind and suddenly everything goes smoothly. But I believe that Bibi is strong enough that if he decided this was the right thing to do for Israel, that he could do it. If he does not believe that a peace deal with the Palestinians is the right thing to do for Israel, then he needs to articulate an alternative approach. And as I said before, it's hard to come up with one that's plausible.
This has long been my view as well. I'm not naive about the difficulties of negotiating with the Palestinians, but even if you're much more hawkish than I am, my question has always been: what's the endgame? If Israel continues to pursue a hawkish path, what happens? Is a permanent occupation of the West Bank the goal? Is any other outcome even possible? And is that really credible? Is it good for Israel? Will the rest of the world tolerate it forever?
Maybe in their hearts, the uber-hawks have simply accepted this as the best of a bad bunch of options. The West Bank will remain an occupied colony forever; it will be a drain on Israel, but not an unsustainable one; and the rest of the world will complain but, ultimately, do nothing. That doesn't sound like a stable solution to me, but Israelis have tolerated it for nearly half a century now, so maybe they've decided it can last forever. I just don't know.


The light brown bark exfoliates in vertical strips to show golden-brown inner bark. This provides an interesting winter feature.
Foliage is dark green in summer, turning brilliant yellow, orange and red in fall.
Greenish-yellow flowers appear in April in clusters of three, hence the species and common names.
Fruit are winged seeds in pairs (samaras); 1 inch long and fuzzy.


After a mad dash over the last couple of weeks to get everything ready for a very first market stall, we've come out on the other side. Tired, but very happy with results and stoked to meet so many of you.
Last Saturday, the 5th of August, marked Paws at the Park's Mudgeeraba show. It was a wonderful day filled with happy people, adorable dogs, great stalls and lots of new friends.
We had the pleasure of being right next door to our good friends at Beacon Dog Training, who spent the day offering training advice and guidance to market goers.
Over at the Tails stall, we had a few different things on the go. The first was our Guess The Jellybeans Competition, where the person with the closest guess would win one of our Tall Tales Photography Package and a 12" x 12" Canvas Wall Art! Not too shabby for counting a few beans!
The event we were most excited about, however, was our Tails Charity Photobooth. The booth was hand built by us here at Tails Photography, complete with a colourful bubble background and soft grass. Sturdy enough for even the biggest hound!
After setting up our stall and lighting, we waited for the people and pups to come. And come they did! In just a few short hours, we completed fourty-five photo shoots! I'll admit, it was a little hectic but also amazingly fun. We had the pleasure of meeting plenty of awesome puppy parents and got to interact with so many cute, cheeky and adorable dogs. It's a hard day in the life of a dog photographer!
The best part? All the profits from the Tails Charity Photobooth went to Paws at the Park's nominated Charity, The Animal Welfare League Queensland! In those few short hours, we raised a total of $1044! And we couldn't have done it without you so a massive thank you to everyone who purchased a photo on the day. Your contributions will really help the AWL.
We hope to see you at our next stall, for more competitions and doggy portraits!

Day Five: Memories Of Blair Part Two
Yesterday, I shared my memories of the release of The Blair Witch Project. Today, I relate what some of my online peers said about theirs. Oh, and please feel free to post any of your recollections in the comments section.
"I don't recall an exact occasion but rather slowly hearing bits of info about this revolutionary, scary-as-hell horror film that may just even be true. I immediately became fascinated and loved the chilling reality vibe to it. I also loved the imagery associated with the film and bought a movie poster before I'd even seen the film – the teaser poster with the negative-image shot of the forest. It was the first movie poster that I ever got framed."
-Dave Alexander; Rue Morgue Magazine
"I had first heard about The Blair Witch Project after reading in the entertainment section of the newspaper about the popularity of the television documentary Curse of the Blair Witch. I watched this documentary on television and was instantly hooked by how real everything looked and seemed. I raced online to find out more and this was when most people had to suffer from a dial up Internet connection. I needed to know if the legend was real or not."
-Serena Whitney; Killerfilm
"I remember first hearing about BWP online, people were discussing it on this message board, talking about the website, and that they were not sure exactly what it was. Viral marketing online back in 1999 was hardly was it is today, so the website confused a lot of people. I remember going to the website and quickly deciding that I should stop before I learn too much, and that I needed to see this film."
-DirtyRobot; Filmopia
"I heard all the buzz around the time it screened at Sundance, the internet cult hype I found out about after the fact!"
-Adam Lopez; Toronto After Dark Festival Director
"I'm not sure if I caught the trailer for The Blair Witch Project first, or if I had heard about it on the Sci-Fi channel first. I do remember the fake documentary that Sci-Fi had made, and aired just prior to the film being released. I wasn't sure if the story was real or not, but by the time I went to go see the movie, I knew it was all a set up, and a very good one at that!"
-Heather Santrous; Mermaid Heather
"When BWP was first released, I was a junior in college. All the kids were talking about it and how it was actual found footage and everyone HAS to go see it. I was/am a film buff anyway so I saw the movie within the first week or two of release. I even drove an extra 45 minutes to get to the "good" theater with my date."
-Andrew James; Row Three
"I believe I read it about it somewhere - a blurb in some magazine. Time, maybe? It sounded interesting so I checked out the website. Wow, finding out about something in a print publication BEFORE seeing it on the web…that will probably never happen to me again."
-Stacie Ponder; Final Girl
"I saw it in theaters with my wife/then girlfriend. I vividly remember us being on the edge of our seat and feeling a bit claustrophobic. It was easily and still to date, one of the scariest cinematic experiences ever."
-Mike Pereira; Bloody-Disgusting
"I saw the movie in the theater during it's '99 release, however I saw it late in its run. I was disappointed...it did scare me at times, but after all the hype I was expecting a film of such quality it couldn't possibly deliver. Plus, all the hand held footage made me sort of nauseous."
-Alex Afterman; HorrorBlips
I saw the leaked workprint on VHS before it came out in theatres and thought it was a really cool and smart low budget film that wasn't mind blowing, but that had a really great and creepy ending. I was curious to see how it played with an audience, and how the blow-up to film was going to look, so some friends and I went to see it opening night. We hadn't anticipated how popular it was going to be, so when we got to the theatre, only the front row was available. Normally I would have walked right back out and asked for a refund, but since I had already seen it and the crowd was abuzz, I sat down. Sitting in the front row, if you haven't guessed already, I got motion sick. I wore a baseball cap back then, and spent a large portion of the film with my face in my hat, looking down at the ground. Every now and then I'd take a peek through the holes in the hat to watch the movie. With maybe fifteen minutes left in the movie, I got too sick, and had to go sit outside on the floor, praying I wasn't going to barf, and knowing that 400 people probably thought I had left because I was a wimp."
-Jeff Wright; They Shoot Actors Don't They?
"I knew going in that it was fiction, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment of it whatsoever - I absolutely loved it. I was totally sucked into the story and rather frightened. While the film itself was fantastic, the atmosphere made it even better; I caught it at a midnight screening opening day (back in MY day, when midnight screenings of new films were rare) at the Angelika in New York. In the lobby, there were glass cases set up to display some of the items that had purportedly been buried under the house- some DAT tapes, cassettes, Heather's diary, etc. Everything was weathered and dirty and worn and it all seemed so real. It was great."
-Stacie Ponder
"I saw it at the famous Angelika in the Village with friends and it was a packed house. This was well into it's huge media coverage and I hated it.. so did the rest of the crowd. People started throwing things and yellin they wanted their money back. Needless to say, everyone was pissed."
-Don Neumann; Quiet Earth
"I saw it in the theater within the first couple weeks it was out. Frankly, I was very unimpressed. I thought it had some really interesting ideas but failed to build any tension. It was just this never-ending meander through the woods, and having grown up in some pretty rural areas, it never seemed particularly scar or convincing to me. The imagery at the end, of the guy in the corner, was effective but by that time I had already given up on the movie. So yeah, I am one of the haters. On the other hand, I had and have no issue with the first-person camera work that drives so many people nuts. I like it, when it is used effectively. I thought BWP used it well -- that was not one of its problems (pacing and not enough movie in their movie was the issue.)
-Cory Casciato; The Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse
"I scored a pass to the advanced screening, and I loved it. People were genuinely freaked out, and it exceeded my expectations. The film really worked on me, as even without the supernatural angle, it taps into those fears of getting lost in the woods, being cold, going hungry, etc. I hadn't been that affected by a horror movie so much since I was a kid – the hair stood up on my arms, I was holding my breath at some parts and the ending was such a perfect punch in my already sickly-feeling gut. I saw it several times in the theatre and it worked every time."
-Dave Alexander
"I saw the film with the masses in an air conditioned theatre on a hot summer day in 1999. My friend and I needed an excuse to get away from the unbearable heat outside, but once the film was over we were racing to get out of that theatre. I'll always remember the feeling of my knees shaking in fear at the finale."
-Serena Whitney
"Saw it on DVD, when it came out after the theatrical release. I decided NOT to watch it at theatres after hearing how nauseous the shakeycam was supposed to make it for viewers. Personally a shaking giant screen is not my cup of tea."
-Adam Lopez
"I believe it took me a week or two, after the release, but I did get to see The Blair Witch Project on the big screen. It was the first film I went to go see by myself, so that added to the experience some I think. I was sitting there looking around me once in a while, as the film played out. That is something I do when I am feeling nervous. I look around to see if anyone else is feeling the same way. At the end of the film, no one got up for a good while after the credits rolled. I couldn't hear anyone talking either. This left a lasting impression on me, since I have never been to a movie that has happened at before or after. I loved the film. I know there are a lot of people out there that hate it, and I can kind of see why that is. It is very slow. However, the things that happen in the film really let the imagination run wild, and I can have a big one at times. It was the event at the end of the film that really hooked me though."
-Heather Santrous
"So I saw the movie in the first week or two of release and was very skeptical of the authenticity of the whole thing. I flat out knew there was no way that this was real for loads of reasons. Still, I remember trying to delude myself into believing the legend since it made it a lot more fun to experience and discuss with friends. The feel of the film was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I don't remember ever watching a feature length film that looked like it was shot on my mom's 8mm home video camera. It felt raw and real. Everyone loved to talk about the final act of the film and hypothesized about the legend and what actually happened and how scared they were, etc. Myself, I actually preferred the earlier scenes when the sun was still above the horizon, but things were slowly going wrong. The build-up of anticipation and all of the creepy clues found throughout the forest and the general sense of impending doom was what I appreciated most about the movie. Even if I wasn't consciously aware of it at the time, I know now that that is exactly how I felt."
-Andrew James
"I saw the film early in its run in a Varsity VIP screening room, which is a very small theatre with extra comfy seats and 'table service' for the usual cinema snacks. I brought my girlfriend, who was not keen about horror movies in general, but who attended for my sake. She didn't make it through the whole movie. The shaky cam, and perhaps the fear, drove her out of the theatre by about the half-way point. I was instantly hooked by the story, by the believability of the characters, and the faux-doc style. I'm a pretty easy audience as it is, my suspension of disbelief is strong, so I loved how the film played with your head, how it was utterly sincere in its 'reality'. And yes, it scared the shit out of me. A testament to the concept that 'less is more', BWP very skillfully showed us that a few noises in the dark, or even a weird pile of rocks outside your tent can instill fear and panic much more effectively than a perfectly rendered monster or a long sharp blade cutting through your guts."
-DirtyRobot
"My friend. She was actually one of the people that suffered from extreme motion sickness from the film. She almost threw up all over the audience members in front of us—which would have made for a funny anecdote at parties today."
"I believe I was."
-Mike Pereira
"The people who saw it when it first came out thought it was better than those of us who saw it after the hype machine had carried it along. They were pleasantly surprised by the quality and the scariness, while my friends who saw it later expected the moon."
-Alex Afterman
"My buddy Josh was completely freaked out by it. He bought it hook, line and sinker (even after I told him it was all a marketing campaign/hoax, he refused to believe me) and was terrified of the woods for weeks. We were actually going to film a movie at another friend's place out in the woods and we got a little turned around (lost would be an exaggeration) and he started flipping out about how this was just like the beginning of Blair Witch .... it was pretty funny."
-Cory Casciato
"I don't know if "affected" by it is the right word, but I remember my date cowering in fear in her seat during the last 15 minutes or so of the film. Let's just say I didn't sleep alone that night. Everything else is really a blur (remember I was in college) so I don't remember anyone being truly affected by it, but it sure was the buzz for several weeks... still is to some extent I suppose."
"It has to be a toss up between a friend of mine and myself as far as who was affected the most by it. Even though I had to explain the ending of the film to her, she was the only person I knew that was into the film as much, if not more, than I was. Both of us were buying up anything we could find about the movie."
"I watched it with my then girlfriend at the time (now my wife) and we were both pretty freaked out by it. That END scene was absolutely terrifying. It still lingers in the mind. It's what you DON'T see in Blair Witch that I think makes it very scary. A recent zombie flick [REC] from Spain did a very good job of recapturing that terror of what you don't see is more scary than what you do."
"Well, on the way home from that screening, my friend asked me if Blair Witch comprised the ACTUAL footage they found, or if they re-shot it all and released the recreated footage. I was confused by that question until I realized he had no idea the whole thing was fake. I hated breaking the news to him! My mom, however, has the best story. She's as big a horror nut as I am, and around the time of the film's release she had a t-shirt with MISSING emblazoned above pictures of Heather, Josh, and Mike. She wore it one day when she got her hair done, and I guess her hairdresser asked about it; my mom mentioned the website but not that it was all fiction. Apparently her hairdresser went home, looked it up, and was OUTRAGED that no one seemed to be doing anything to find these missing kids. He proceeded to go on all sorts of forums to tell the world of his outrage…my mom clued him in about the truth at her next appointment, saving him from a lifetime of worry and eventual embarrassment."
"It's been a few years. It's one of those films that worked to marvelous effect on the first viewing. I found it just doesn't hold any power over the viewer upon multiple watches because you see how you were tricked by its simplicity. I think many resented that which is probably why in the history of horror cinema, there's never been a phenomenon which ended up becoming so completely forgotten. The terrible sequel and oversaturation of the Blair Witch product might have something to do with that, as well."
"I only saw it the once in the theater. I thought it was OK, but not really worth a second viewing. I think The Last Broadcast, which is similar in theme and shooting style (faux documentary, found footage from a doomed exploration in the woods) is less scary but a more interesting and well constructed film."
"I watched it less than two months ago, to prepare for writing the cover story for the current issue of Rue Morgue, which revisits the film. I hadn't seen it in years but it worked on me once again. I showed it to someone younger who missed the initial hype, and she was genuinely scared by it, and thought it was real until she went online and read up on it. I totally lied to her for as long as I could to preserve that deep down freaked out feeling."
"It's been years since I had seen The Blair Witch Project mainly because it is one of those films you should only experience once to get the full effect of it. Many people complain how it's not that scary and it's over-rated. I'm glad that I'm not one of those people, which is why I refuse to watch the film again. It would taint the terrifying memories I have of it."
"I think I probably haven't seen it since opening night, so I'm definitely due for a rewatch. I have pretty strong (but vague at the same time) memories of THE CURSE OF THE BLAIR WITCH television special that was aired just before BLAIR WITCH PROJECT's release being as effective, if not more than the movie itself, so I'm looking forward to rewatching that as well."
-Jeff Wright
"I have only seen it once! By my own rules, I probably owe it another chance, despite finding it so utterly boring and pointless the first time through. The ten-year anniversary is as good of a reason as any, I guess..."
"The last time I watched The Blair Witch Project was back in September of 2006. I didn't realize it has been that long ago already. It was time for my 100th post, and I had decided that I would write about The Blair Witch Project. It isn't a film I watch a lot, because it feels like it loses some of its magic each time that I do. That being said, the ending of the film still manages to get to me everytime."
"I saw it shortly after its video release. I sat down in the living room with the lights turned off and showed it to my mom. It as then I realized that this movie sucks ass. It's simply three immature kids screaming obscenities at each other for 45 minutes. It was really uncomfortable for me to sit there with my mom listening to all of that as I knew she was perturbed; not scared in the least, just perturbed. Hence, I was perturbed as well. I didn't remember all that from the first viewing. It seemed like a completely different film from the amazingness I had built up in my mind. I have never seen it since. Saw part 2 though. I underwent reconstructive surgery the next morning to repair my eyeballs and ear drums after I mashed them in with a corkscrew to relieve the pain of that movie."
So, as I expected, the opinions expressed above were polarizing to say the least. The debate still continues, but it cannot be denied that The Blair Witch Project is not only an important horror film, but a significant milestone of the medium. I hope you enjoyed my retrospective coverage this week and thanks to everyone who contributed. Check back here soon for tales of my trip to this year's Fantasia Film Festival!

A song on the victory obtain'd over the rebels, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland or From scourging Rebellion (HWV 228/9) is a patriotic song that Handel wrote in 1746, as well as the Occasional Oratorio, to support the Hanoverian cause.
The Sun brighter shines, and all Nature's gay.
To his glory your voices and Instruments raise.
Gnashing horrid her teeth fast bound to his car.
And fix those in chains, who would Britons enthrall!

Die DFS 42 "Kormoran" war ein Versuchsflugzeug der Deutschen Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug (DFS).

Ziel der Konstruktion war es, Erkenntnisse über die Eigenschaften von stark vorwärts gepfeilten Tragflächen zu erhalten.
In dem Buch "Ein Dreieck fliegt" ist die Maschine im Flug sowie eine Dreiseitenansicht abgebildet. Diese zeigt ein hochangesetztes Pendel-Höhenleitwerk sowie eine Tragfläche mit sechs Klappen über die gesamte Spannweite, das Höhenleitwerk entsprach dem des DFS Fafnir.
Alexander Lippisch sprach davon, "daß der Vogel ganz manierlich geflogen sei".
Ansonsten ist wenig über die Maschine bekannt. Die Spannweite soll 14 m betragen haben. Spätere Projekte wie die Junkers Ju 287 und eine Version der Heinkel He 162 erhielten ebenfalls vorgepfeilte Tragflächen.

Jeff Pope has been doing IE radio for more than 25 years! The love for the art began in grade school, when he would pretend to be hosting his own morning radio show, complete with news, traffic and sports. And yes, he still has tapes of those "shows."
While in high school, he won the Broadcasting competition of a Communication Fair contest, that involved several high schools. He knew then that he was going to be a radio DJ. He chose to attend Cal State San Bernardino after he was promised a radio shift by a college recruiter – sure enough, by his sophomore year, he was doing sports play-by-play, hosting a talk show, and playing disco music as Dr. Disco.
His first job out of college was at San Bernardino sports station KMEN 1290. When the station changed formats to "Killer Oldies," he reinvented himself as "The Popester", as his night shift was the first time slot on the station to get ratings in a long time. He then transitioned to news writer/traffic reporter for Metro Networks in LA, where he was the on-air news personality for X103.9. Five years later, he became the new morning show host at 99.1 KGGI, a position he held for nearly 14 years. The last four years, he was entertaining listeners in San Jose as part of the Pope and Marla morning show. Now, thanks to All Pro Broadcasting, The I.E.can listen to "The Jeff Pope Show" every weekday morning from 5:30 am -10am on BOTH Hot 1039 and 101.3 The Mix.


I am very pleased that the Senate today passed with an overwhelming majority the bipartisan conference report on the agriculture research bill. This vital legislation makes needed reforms and provides funding in several areas that are priorities for my Administration. The legislation provides important benefits to America's farmers and to those who have come to this country seeking a brighter future. I would like to extend my warm gratitude to Senators Lugar and Harkin for their vision and hard work stewarding a bill that ably balances crop insurance, agriculture research, rural development, and Food Stamps for legal immigrants in need.
The last hurdle that remains for this bill is for the House of Representatives to pass the conference report. I urge the House to act quickly on this legislation.

DeedlesCon 2007
by Editor • November 1, 2007 • 0 Comments
It's once again time to grab your frying pan hats and potted mint plants; DeedlesCon is back in town!
Celebrating its twentieth year of operation, DeedlesCon is a chance for memorabilia collectors and fans alike to come together and share their love of locally created comic strip icon Junior Deedles.
Probably best known for being the one comic strip which New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia refused to read over the radio during a 1945 newspaper strike ("I, er, won't read this one" explained the mayor, without further comment, before moving on to Li'l Abner), Junior Deedles was actually a wildly popular strip during most of its forty-seven continuous years of publication.
Created by local cartoonist Fred P Skates, Junior Deedles made his debut as the so-called "Canny Oaf" in Skates' then-titled Humorous Junction comic strip. Within three years, by 1927, Junior Deedles had acquired his name, "adopted" the first of his Magical Mint Plants "Julia," and had proven so popular that the Humorous Junction strip was renamed in his honor.
Skates perished in 1959 from complications related to a case of Queensland Fever contracted when he was a child, but Junior Deedles lived on via a long series of replacement artists, a multitude of merchandise and a series of surprisingly vulgar black-and-white animated shorts released during the 1940s.
Although the strip ceased publication more than thirty-five years ago, it continues to delight its former audience and develop new fans along the way. Mitch Prince, organizer of the DeedlesCon since its inception in 1987, claims that new fans are drawn in by the timelessness of the stories and the characters.
"When you talk about the great characters of literature, you have to put Junior Deedles right up there with Hercules, Jesus and Shakespeare," says Prince, "Not to mention his supporting cast, Deedles' girlfriend Hotcha, his father Poppa Deedles, the evil shoe salesman The Rattlesnake or even the Hopping Hootenanny.
"These are classics," added Prince, "They represent the work or one of the great masters of a unique American art form."
After a moment's consideration, Prince added "Or as Deedles used to say, "Cushy Coo Coo Coo!"
DeedlesCon 2007 will be held in the Hussar Room at the Lawbell Alley Hilton, east of Exit 551.
Notable Facts About Junior Deedles:
At the peak of its popularity, Junior Deedles was carried in over seven-hundred newspapers. At its nadir of its popularity, it was carried in only one.
Fred Skates and Peanuts creator Charles Schulz shared a profound hatred for one another, both personally and professionally. On the occasion of Skates' death, Schulz sent an infamous telegram to Skates' widow reading "My apologies as I cannot attend funeral stop may reconsider if I can find my dance shoes stop"
Names of all the Magical Mint Plants "adopted" by Junior Deedles: Julia, Hortence, Agatha, Alice, Pearl, Posey and Roy.
Most valuable piece of Deedles memorabilia, according to the 2005 Comic Strip Character Collectible Price Guide (Collector Books): The Junior Deedles Mint-Scented-Spray Gun (1945) – $125,500
Least valuable piece of Deedles memorabilia: Junior Deedles Christmas Candy Cigarettes (1992) – No Value Listed
Whatever happened to the statue of Junior Deedles which occupied a place of honor on Wonderland Walk at Mabel Tripp Gardens, until 1983? No one knows.

Hungary has switched off all radio broadcasting stations on the 66-73 MHz band. I hope it really creates an opportunity to get an amateur radio allocation on the 4m band. I already have a HB9CV for the band, but no transverter or radio... Khmmmm, a nice challenge.
Today I got a new licence for the HA50MHZ callsign. It is valid until 31 December 2007. Let's hope more QSOs this year.
One of my Yaesu MH-31 microphones was turned into an SSB DX powerhouse... Laci (HA5TMK) installed a W4RT Electronics One Big Punch speech compressor. The first tests are a big wooooowwwwww. All stations interviewed gave me 1-3 S units better reports with the compressor on.
With this mod, I hope to make both my FT817 and 897 SSB signals better. The only problem is that on 40m, there seems to be some RF feedback which locks up the compressor above 30 Watts of RF power... I will have to check all cable shieldings. But the compressor is really great. Why Yaesu did not fit one in the radio themselves is another big mistery.

【Joint Statement】NGOs applaud environment minister for expressing concerns about coal power project in Vietnam: Japanese government should stop supporting coal-fired power generation overseas
Joint Statement
Kiko Network
Japan Center for Sustainable Environment and Society (JACSES)
Mekong Watch
350.org Japan
NGOs applaud environment minister for expressing concerns about coal power project in Vietnam:
Japanese government should stop supporting coal-fired power generation overseas
At a press conference[1] on January 21, 2020, Japan's Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi pointed out that the use of public funds for the Vung Ang 2 coal-fired power generation project in Vietnam was inconsistent with policies of the Japanese government (see below). He also pointed out problems with Japanese government policies on the use of public funds to support coal-fired power projects overseas.
We five environmental NGOs welcome the fact that Minister Koizumi raised these issues and expressed concerns about the use of public funds from Japan to support a coal-fired power generation project overseas. All of this in the context of the worsening climate crisis and the need for urgent actions on climate change, we believe that the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) as well as all private sector companies and financial institutions involved should decide immediately to halt financing and investment in the Vung Ang 2 coal-fired power generation project. It is also clear that Japan's policies need to be revisited, and we call upon Environment Minister Koizumi to lead the initiative to update Japan's policies and make them consistent with the Paris Agreement.
Based on its national Strategic Energy Plan, the Government of Japan has been actively promoting what it calls "low-carbon infrastructure exports," which may include coal-related exports, but only if they meet four conditions.[2] On this point, Minister Koizumi stated at the press conference that Japan was expected to provide financing for Vung Ang 2, but that American and Chinese counterparts would be responsible for construction. Thus, he said, Japanese high-efficiency equipment might not be used, which would not be consistent with the four conditions for coal exports, and from the perspective of Japanese citizens and the international community this situation may not make sense. Regarding the use of Japanese public funds for coal-fired power generation overseas, he also mentioned that there are problems with the cost competitiveness of coal, and that coal use will in effect hinder the recipient country's efforts to decarbonize, while also "locking in" future GHG emissions. He also stated that he believes it is necessary to make changes to the policies so that everyone, including the international community, can confidently say that Japan is making an effort toward a decarbonized society.
The Vung Ang 2 project in Vietnam is a project to build a new coal-fired power plant. Mitsubishi Corporation is expected to invest in it, but CLP Holdings, a Hong Kong-based joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation, has withdrawn from this project after it announced a coal exit policy on December 17, 2019. Others that have already pulled out of a lending consortium for this project include UK-based Standard Chartered Bank, Singapore-based OCBC Bank, and DBS Bank. Currently it appears that only Japanese public and private financial institutions are still considering financing this project.[3]
To be consistent with the Paris Agreement, no new coal-fired power plants should be built for any reason whatsoever. The Vung Ang 2 project is expected to use ultra-supercritical (USC) technology, enabling it to satisfy technical aspects of the four conditions for financing from Japan. But even so, there are concerns about negative impacts on the local environment, as there is no assurance that technologies meeting Japanese technology standards would be used to control pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter (PM). Meanwhile, regarding cost competitiveness, an analysis released in September 2019 by the UK-based think tank Carbon Tracker found that by 2022 the construction cost of solar power in Vietnam is expected to be lower than the operating cost of existing coal-fired power plants. [4]
Japan still ranks second globally in terms of public financing for coal-fired power generation, and Japan's three megabanks were the top three funders of coal-fired power producers globally between 2017 and 2019. [5] Besides the Vung Ang 2 project in Vietnam, two other coal-fired power generation projects are moving forward with Japanese public and/or private sector involvement. One is the Vinh Tan 3 project in Vietnam (with investment from Mitsubishi Corporation), and the other is the Indramayu project in Indonesia (funding from the Japan International Cooperation Agency, or JICA).
Meanwhile, Australia has been struck by catastrophic bush fires, and the memories of massive typhoons that hit Japan are still fresh. The year 2020 marks the end of Kyoto Protocol implementation period, and the start for the Paris Agreement. We call upon the Japanese public and private sector institutions to decide immediately to withdraw from investment and financing for the Vung Ang 2 and the Vinh Tan 3 coal-fired power plants, as well as any other new coal-fired power plant projects. Now is not the time to be building new coal-fired power plants. What the world needs is a serious effort to shut down existing coal-fired power plants in order to decarbonize. Thus, all coal-fired power projects currently under construction overseas with Japanese government financing should be reviewed and funding stopped before the recipient countries "lock in" their greenhouse gas emissions for decades into the future.

[2] Under the Fifth Strategic Energy Plan (2018) the four conditions that should be met for Japanese exports relating to coal-fired power generation are: (1) the country is forced to choose coal as an energy source from the perspective of energy security and economic viability, (2) the partner country has requested Japan's high efficiency coal generation technology, (3) OECD rules are taken into account and the deal is consistent with the energy policy and climate change measures of the partner country, and (4) in principle, Japan supplies ultra-supercritical (USC) technology at or above the global state-of-the art.

Here's a preview of our tutorial on how to perform the tomahawk serve. The tomahawk serve is a great serve to learn as the action comes naturally to a lot of people. You can disguise the different types of spin with small changes of your bat angle. It is also good for younger players who aren't tall enough for the pendulum serve.
If you're interested in learning more about serving the take a look at our serving secrets course.
I served some in the match but i had success only with the first two.
Looks interesting. my game of pingpong has improved since I have watched your videos, although I still have a long way to go!! Thank you both so much!!
Thanks Kathy. We love all of your positive comments.
I am now using this serve. It is fantastic! Not easy to return. Got my tomahawk serve and reverse pendulum from alois. Thank you pingskills!
Still new to the game, I'm experimenting a lot with serves and gameplay. This looks a good serve to experiment with; thanks for the ideas.
Is it illegal to serve the ball as close to the net as possible? I heard that from someone as I want to see if it's true.
@Chris - great to see you experimenting, it's a great way to learn new serves.
@Joseph - you can serve the ball as close to the net as you like.
You are really doing a great job for this loving sport.
This works well because you get low and contact the ball from lower.
The reverse Tomahawk is quite difficult for me. Have you got any tips on that? Thanks.
Take a look at this one on the Backhand Tomahawk Serve.

Just for info, Royal Mail have once again messed up my direct debit, so I have paid in advance for the March issues, David Bowie & the definitive rate changes. the total I paid was £34.78 with the Music Giants issue @ £15.09 inc handling charge, this means the definitive issue will total as far as i can make out £19.69.
An update on my previous comment just had it clarified from TH, there will be a Country Issue in March along with the definitive changes, so the total will be £19.69 .
Thanks Peter: it seems my correspondent was wrong, or misunderstood something.
No information from Royal Mail at Stampex yesterday, as expected. Most stamp images we saw had the values blanked out and any that didn't were showing current rates, so still awaiting finalisation of the image. Watch this space.
I will Ian and if in the meantime I get my 1st leaflet from RM that may show the new stamps I will post a pic on here if that is permissable?
Thanks; send me the pic, Peter as you can't post it directly.
Will do if I get mine before you do thnx.
BBC News are reporting a 1p rise in basic 1st class/basic 2nd class/large 2nd class and a 2p rise in large 1st class but not mentioning the higher rates.


Tutorful. August 2018. 44 Mumsnet testers. 89% would recommend. 84% would use again.
"The tutor was fantastic, she was very accommodating, especially as our lesson was booked for 6pm and she changed it for 6.30pm with little notice when I got stuck in traffic coming home. I found her to be very friendly, she really wanted to interact with my daughter and encourage her to take part in the lesson. She also accommodated my daughter's demands for games!"
"Easy to use...Clear and to the point!"
"I really liked the service; it was easy to use and made me feel more confident in finding someone who has the ability, skill and is more likely to be trustworthy. The booking process was easy, I replied to the response and we arranged the lesson.
The tutor was actually one of the first to reply and the nearest in the locality. Her response was clear and to the point and she was cheaper than the others which was a bonus."
"My son was desperate to learn guitar (he is only 6) and I bought it would be good to try it out before committing to lots is lessons. We checked for a local tutor on Tutorful and found quite a few. The tutor we chose had worked with young children a lot before and gave us plenty of advice on lessons for young children beforehand. He was easy to contact and quick to respond.
My son's first lesson was great - the tutor was very patient with him and he really enjoyed it even though his new guitar is a bit big for him. He was exhausted by the end of the lesson but asking straight away when his next lesson was!
The tutor gave us some optional homework to practice at home. He was very patient and spoke to my son in a way he could clearly understand but also made him feel very grown up! Our tutor was also listed as CRB checked which is always good to know. I would definitely recommend using Tutorful for finding local tutors and I would look here in the future if I needed to find anyone else locally.
Lessons were reasonably priced and the website is secure so easier than taking cash to lessons. Highly recommended!"
"Exceeded my expectations...Captured my son's enthusiasm"
"Tutor exceeded my expectations, my son was really hesitant about a tutor, however after the first lesson he hasn't stopped talking about him! He really engaged my son, with the information I gave him before the lesson on my son's strengths and areas of interest he planned a great first lesson, which captured my son's imagination and enthusiasm more than I have never seen before.
Every day since the lesson, my son has been voluntarily working on his story he is writing and talking positively about it!"
Remember, you can read reviews of your prospective tutor from other students and parents before you book a session, so whether you're looking for A-Level Spanish conversation or beginners guitar lessons – and whether you prefer to learn in person or online – with thousands of tutors across more than 300 subjects, you're sure to find the right fit.
