The Epic of ʿAnzī, ʿĪsā Kedḥayt's Pickup Truck

Poem composed and recited by ʿĪsā Kedḥayt and recorded by Sam Liebhaber in ʿĪsā's house in Jāḏeb, January 2004.
Despite the formulaic opening formulas, this poem quickly diverges from the solemnity of a traditional tribal-historical ode. ʿĪsā Kedḥayt is confronted not with the murder of a kinsman but with the unjust seizure of his car: a 1985 Toyota pickup truck nicknamed "ʿAnzī." ʿĪsā had left ʿAnzī in al-Ghaydha with a mechanic, a northern Yemeni named Ǧōbān (perhaps from Jubān in Central Yemen) who demanded 270,000 Yemeni riyals (ca. $1380) for repairs. ʿĪsā only had 200,000 Yemeni riyāls which Ǧōbān refused to accept and therefore kept the car under lock and key. ʿĪsā returned to Rēhen to gather the remaining 70,000 YER in loans, ("to massage the udder of the milch-camel" [10]) but was turned down again and again. One milch cow was so stingy that she would "turn away her own calves" [10-12], another had "his head lowered" (i.e., was hard-pressed for cash) and "kicked" at ʿĪsā during "the milking" [13-15]. ʿĪsā goes to six more possible lenders and is met with refusal each time. Some he derides as people who sell tissue paper (klīneks < Eng. "kleenex") and spices for hot sauce and others as people who lift cinder blocks for a living [18-21]. They are dismissed by ʿĪsā as petty vendors who are too stingy to help him out ("they are all businessmen, but it's better to be broke" [21]). ʿĪsā manages to find some real friends: Bakhīt, ʾAḥmad, and Rāshid, who recall how much ʿAnzī was appreciated in Rēhen for giving people rides and offer to return the kindness [23-25]. Finally, ʿĪsā pays a visit to a certain Qaḥṭān who lives "in his fortress, like the rain clouds" [26-27]. The "fortress" is the customs house at Ṣarfēt on the Yemen-Oman border where Qaḥṭān works as the chief customs officer. Qaḥṭān speaks kindly to ʿĪsā and encourages him "to lift up his head" [31], because his pride (and ʿAnzī) will soon be restored to him. Qaḥṭān offers to pay the rest of the repair costs and to "set loose the bond from where it was all knotted up" [32].
The Epic of ʿAnzī
1) lawb ǧōneš ḥyūm // l-ād ār eġlēs O Sun, you have set // there is nothing except the twilight
2) w-hēlʿayyēn // lbōdem ḥwēs The small shadows // have all become mixed and faded.
3) ār hōh b-ḫeyr lā // bī mēken ʿākēs I'm not doing well // there is a much agitation within me,
4) hīs hōh w-ʿanzī // ḫā ṭāṭ ḏ–ḥeybēs For me and for ʿAnzī // like someone who is imprisoned
5) w-hēl ǧōbān // berk meḥrēs At Ǧōbān's // in a guarded courtyard,
6) mhelḳawf b-deyn // b-ḳeyd mīrēs Held in debt // by the bond of a camel's halter.
7) ber šēh mīteyn // wel ḳawṭā ḥlēs He's already got 200 // but it doesn't cut off his craving,
8) ʾāsē b-sebʿīn // zimh ǧrēs If only there were 70 // may God give him trouble!
9) w-hoh b-ḥaywōn // l-ād śī fwālēs In my lockbox // there's not even any pocket change;
10) fōn mōren ǧzūr // l-ʿāḳār ʿansēs We have already massaged the udder of the milch-camel // may God increase ʿAnsēs! [name of a milch-camel]
11) w-ettōlī ḫzūt // w-ḥruhs nśēs But then she refused // and lifted up her head,
12) w-l-ād bawt lā // ettē l-ḥabrēs She didn't even give suck // to her child.
13) we-mġōren ġerhīt // ettaḫf menkēs Afterwards to someone else, // but my arrival (found him) with his head lowered.
14) feźḫōt be-ḥrōh // we-źḥawt hīs yēs Deeply ashamed (?) // [unclear delivery and vocabulary]
15) w-ḥāl ḏe-ḥlēb // bīn māken rfēs During the time for the milking // there was a lot of kicking at us.
16) ār tewwen nleyn // eśśawr neḳlēs That's enough, let's go in the late afternoon // we'll stick to the plan.
17) nāmēd heṭrōf // men ġeyr menfēs We'll rely on certain parties of kin // who don't give excuses.
18) hēm ār yettīt // ḏ-nūka w-ḥēs There are six // whoever comes (to them) they bat away with their hands:
19) bōlī klīneks // w-bzūr ḏ-besbēs The Kleenex People // and those of spices for bisbēs
20) we-bkōr ḏ-keśrēb // ślēl we-ḫsēs And piles of cinder blocks // that they haul and dump
21) tǧert hem kel // ḫeyr mens flēs There are all businessmen // but it's better to be broke than this.
22) ār hoh b-neḳlīn // ād šī hwēǧēs I still have other choices // there are yet ideas in me.
23) bḫīt we-ḥmēd // w-rāšed ḥrēs Bakhīt, ʾAḥmad // and Rāshid, may God protect them!
24) ʿāmōrem ʿanzī // w-kōh tḥībēs They said: "ʿAnzī // why is she locked up?
25) ḥallī w-serbēt // ymedḥem tēs The people of the district and the packs of children // praise her."
26) w-lū l-ḳaḥṭān // ḏ-bēr ḫīrēs Or [I'll go] to Qaḥṭān // the one of the clan Ḥīrēs,
27) be-ḥḥāṣen ykūn // hīs erwēkēs He'll be in his fortress // like the rainclouds.
28) ād l-wukbeh // ḥmō ḏe-źrēs Bitter water // has not yet entered him
29) w-bēr yembōt // b-źīḳ we-nfēs And he's already been spoken of // in times of need and times of ease.
30) ʿāmūr ʾāmōh // ḥeḏḏōr tehsēs He says: "Grandfather // take care to listen well!
31) ḥruhk erfāʾ // ām-bēr nīkēs Raise your head // if it was lowered,
32) nenōṯer eḳayd // men hēl ḏe-ʿīkēs We will set loose the bond // from where it was all knotted up."

Vulnerability is a key issue in bioethics. It is widely recognised that we owe special moral obligations to persons and/or groups identified as vulnerable, yet the nature of vulnerability and the duties that are owed to the vulnerable are not well understood in the bioethics literature. The premise of this special issue is that vulnerability is not just a characteristic of some persons or groups; rather, it is a pervasive and characteristic feature of human life, a condition of our embodied, social, and affective natures. Nevertheless, the impact of vulnerability varies according to social, political or environmental conditions, access to resources, and emotional, physical or intellectual robustness. Developing a robust theory of vulnerability will make a major contribution to scholarship in the field. There have been criticisms of the ways in which vulnerability is used in the bioethics literature (eg Hurst 2008, Macklin 2003) where at times it seems to be a catch-all for labeling diverse groups and individuals. The labeling approach risks paternalism and stereotyping, however as yet there are few contributions that offer alternative ways of understanding vulnerability (for an exception see Luna 2009). There is therefore scope for detailed explorations from feminist perspectives as to how a theory of vulnerability would intersect with concepts such as relational autonomy, embodiment, care ethics or theories of justice, and how these intersections would play out in relation to issues subject to scrutiny by feminist bioethics. The aim of this special issue is to collect a group of papers that contributes to the development of a theory of vulnerability and its application to issues in bioethics, drawing upon feminist perspectives.
• The relationship between vulnerability and autonomy; and whether and how relational accounts of autonomy can inform the development of a theory of vulnerability.
• The relationship between vulnerability and principles such as respect for dignity, beneficence and justice.
• The normative force of vulnerability in relation to research ethics: how should vulnerability be assessed in relation to research, and what duties are owed, and by whom, to the vulnerable?
• Investigation into the normative force of the concept of vulnerability and the potential contribution to bioethics scholarship of making vulnerability an explicit central concern for bioethics.
• Investigation of the vulnerabilities involved in relationships of care, such as that between carer and the cared-for (for example children, frail elderly, people living with disabilities).
• Analysis of the ways in which policies and practices can exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, or conversely, protect against vulnerabilities in various ways.


In the Advanced Clinical Nursing field students will explore the human experience of health, well-being, illness and healing within the context of individuals, families, groups and communities.
Selected concepts such as health promotion, illness prevention, stress appraisal, and coping resources will be examined through critical appraisal of the literature in nursing and related disciplines.
Students will have the opportunity to develop evidence-based knowledge and skills required to manage the complex health needs of Canada's multicultural population through health promotion and illness prevention or adaptation to illness and injury.
In the Nursing Leadership field students will explore concepts of contemporary nursing leadership in management, research and education. Students will critically appraise and synthesize a variety of educational, environmental, and political issues that influence the Canadian health care system.
Students will have the opportunity to develop skills necessary to impact policy and decision-making relevant to the profession of nursing, in particular, and the health care system in general.
The Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) is a thesis - based degree program, and has two specialization/field options: Advanced Clinical Practice Nursing Field and Nursing Leadership Field.
In the Nursing Leadership field students will explore concepts of contemporary nursing leadership in management, research and education.
Students will critically appraise and synthesize a variety of educational, environmental, and political issues that influence the Canadian health care system.
In the primary health care nurse practitioner field, students will be prepared to provide collaborative and autonomous primary health care to individuals, groups or communities, with an emphasize on health promotion as well as illness/injury prevention.
Students will develop advanced assessment, diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills in preparation for ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, communicating diagnoses, prescribing pharmaceuticals, and performing other specific controlled procedures.
The PhD program, focusing on health outcomes and health services research, will involve four years of full -time study. It will combine coursework, comprehensive exams and a dissertation.
This program will prepare graduates to assume leadership roles in academic and practice settings.
Research and scholarly activities will prepare graduates to contribute to nursing practice, the design and delivery of health care, and policy development.
The PhD program will normally involve four years of full - time study consisting of course work (most of it in Year 1).
The dissertation requires independent, original research and makes up at least two thirds of the time normally required for the program.
This program is only for students who have a completed BScN (or equivalent nursing degree, e.g. BN, etc.), with a current Registered Nurse (RN) status, and a completed a Master's degree (Nursing or health related degree preferred).

Q: Terraform AWS VCPe Route Creation Endpoint Not Found When I create a route to an endpoint I get the following error:
InvalidVpcEndpointId.NotFound: The vpcEndpoint ID 'vpce-044e0beXXXXXXXX' does not exist.
But further up in the output (and on the console) I can see the endpoint is created:
module.sec.aws_vpc_endpoint.s3[0]: Creation complete after 6s [id=vpce-044e0beXXXXXXXXX]
This is what I have to create the route:
resource "aws_route" "s3_route" {
  count = length(var.s3_routes)

  route_table_id         = aws_route_table.main.id
  destination_cidr_block = var.s3_routes[count.index]
  vpc_endpoint_id        = var.s3_endpoint_ID[0]

}

This module is an example of one that calls it:
module "sec-route-NATGW-ifw-a" {

  source = "./route"
  depends_on = [module.i-dmz, module.t-dmz, module.cde, module.tgw-core, module.tgw-ifw]

  vpc_id = module.sec.vpc_id
  subnet_association = [for s in range(0, length(module.sec.natgw_subnet_IDs)) : module.sec.natgw_subnet_IDs[s] if module.sec.natgw_subnet_AZs[s] == "${local.region}a"]
  s3_endpoint_ID = module.sec.s3_endpoint_ID

  s3_routes = local.s3_ips
}

And this is the output for the ID:
output "s3_endpoint_ID" {
  value = aws_vpc_endpoint.s3[*].id
  description = "ID for S3 Endpoint"
}

And the resource to create the endpoint:
resource "aws_vpc_endpoint" "s3" {
  count = var.s3_servicename == "" ? 0 : 1

  vpc_id       = aws_vpc.SEC.id
  service_name = var.s3_servicename
}

FYI VPCE ID has been changed from script.

A: The issue was the configuration on my route resource, I replaced it with the following:
resource "aws_vpc_endpoint_route_table_association" "s3" {
  count = length(var.s3_endpoint_ID) == 0 ? 0 : 1

  route_table_id = aws_route_table.main.id
  vpc_endpoint_id = tostring(var.s3_endpoint_ID[0])
}

I don't think the tostring() is needed and I changed how count worked slightly, but adding the destination_cidr_block argument was the issue.

Yet another circumstance must be mentioned which proves favorable for the Nazis and their immensely powerful apparatus of oppression: the development of modern technology gives the rulers, as has long been insufficiently understood, an advantage over the ruled. The more effective the weapons become and the less you can protect yourself against them, the more the armed is superior to the unarmed. The Bastille could not be successfully stormed in the age of airplanes and tear gas. Rifles equipped with rifles have no chance against motorized police forces; it makes no sense to build barricades against a government that has tanks. And in the event of a revolution, it is not only weapons development that favors those in power, the state over the individual: modern technical development and the associated sophisticated organization work in the same direction. Traffic has led to the countries becoming small and easy to monitor. How many hiding places there were in a country a hundred years ago! At that time, every power hit natural barriers! Today there is no loophole and no hideout for the rebel anymore. Even the thoughts that are able to penetrate the walls have become "controllable" because they are tied to the mass distribution of news, to radio, film and the press. How long will it take before every house has its own microphone and every private word, like every telephone call today, can be heard? The ant state is at hand. It may not be a coincidence that states like Germany and Russia have elevated technology to the status of a religion. Conversely, this development of modern technology makes the preservation of freedom a human task that is more urgent than ever.

People have a series of rationalizations. People say for example that science and technology have their own logic, that they are in fact autonomous. This particular rationalization is profoundly false. It is not true that science marches on in defiance of human will, independent of human will, that just is not the case. But it is comfortable, as I said: it leads to the position that "if I don't do it, someone else will."
Of course if one takes that as an ethical principle then obviously it can serve as a license to do anything at all. "People will be murdered; if I don't do it, someone else will." "Women will be raped; if I don't do it, someone else will." That is just a license for violence.
Other people say, and I think this is a widely used rationalization, that fundamentally the tools we work on are "mere" tools; This means that whether they get use for good or evil depends on the person who ultimately buys them and so on.
There's nothing bad about working in computer vision, for example. Computer vision may very well some day be used to heal people who would otherwise die. Of course, it could also be used to guide missiles, cruise missiles for example, to their destination, and all that. You see, the technology itself is neutral and value-free and it just depends how one uses it. And besides -- consistent with that -- we can't know, we scientists cannot know how it is going to be used. So therefore we have no responsibility.
Well, that is false. It is true that a computer, for example, can be used for good or evil. It is true that a helicopter can be used as a gunship and it can also be used to rescue people from a mountain pass. And if the question arises of how a specific device is going to be used, in what I call an abstract ideal society, then one might very well say one cannot know.
But we live in a concrete society, [and] with concrete social and historical circumstances and political realities in this society, it is perfectly obvious that when something like a computer is invented, then it is going to be adopted will be for military purposes. It follows from the concrete realities in which we live, it does not follow from pure logic. But we're not living in an abstract society, we're living in the society in which we in fact live.
If you look at the enormous fruits of human genius that mankind has developed in the last 50 years, atomic energy and rocketry and flying to the moon and coherent light, and it goes on and on and on -- and then it turns out that every one of these triumphs is used primarily in military terms. So it is not reasonable for a scientist or technologist to insist that he or she does not know -- or cannot know -- how it is going to be used.

Q: loop through 3 lists to Get substrings from elements of a list by using the start and end point from the other 2 lists I have 3 different lists. Using the corresponding start point and end point from 2 lists I want to make a new list that has the substring from the 1st list.
for i in string_list:
    for x in Start_Point_list:
        for y in End_Point_list:
            m= string_list[(i for i in Start_Point_list): (y for y in End_Point_list)]

I want to get a list of [m]

A: Do this:
m = [string_list[s:e] for s,e in zip(Start_Point_list, End_Point_list)]

zip() returns an iterator of the corresponding elements in its arguments.  That is, zip([1, 2, 3, 4], [3, 2, 1, 0]) would yield (1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1), and (4, 0)

What are the risks? Thanks

A: The risks are fire and explosion, and these are pretty likely to occur if you connect a 12V charger to a 7.2V LiIon battery.
Use a charger that is designed specifically for the battery you have.


Hugging the Steeples, Horseshoe Lake, BC, is a popular backcountry campsite. This camping, fishing, and bird watching recreation forest site is found just east of Cranbrook. Located in a valley often referred to as the Rocky Mountain Trench, Horseshoe Lake offers beautiful views of the Steeples Mountains.
Surrounded by farmland, grasslands, and forests bursting with pine and aspen trees, the campsite is centred around Horseshoe Lake, a spring-fed lake which is at the mercy of rising water levels as the seasons change.
Horseshoe Lake, BC: The Steeples dominate Horseshoe Lake. This easily accessible site is a self-serve campsite shared with some free roaming cows. Photograph details: 1/30 sec, F8.0, ISO100, 47mm, shot using an Olympus OM-D EM5.
Sunset at Horseshoe Lake, BC: The sun sets over Horseshoe Lake on a stupidly warm summer day in British Columbia. The campsites on offer at Horseshoe Lake vary widely, some are right on the lake, others are hidden in the woods while some sit out on open slopes, exposed to the sun all day.
Looking across Horseshoe Lake, BC: Most of the campsites have fire pits and picnic tables and there are long drops scattered throughout the site. Photograph details: 1/40th sec, F8.0, ISO 100, 135mm, shot using an Olympus OM-D EM5.

Insider Trading-News
Apple Inc (AAPL): Insiders Sell, Stock Weakens
Published on October 18, 2012 at 8:11 am by David Woodburn in Insider Trading,News
Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) saw its stock rise to an all-time high of $705 a share just days prior to the launch of the highly anticipated iPhone 5. Since then, however, there has been some insider sales – and interestingly, the stock has actually softened significantly since the all-time high as well, as the stock price fell 10 percent in just over a month. Were the insider sales just some simple profit-taking, or a sign of some weakness in the stock at Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL)?
If you take a look at recent insiders sales – including a series of sales that were filed Tuesday – and look at the performance of Apple Inc (AAPL) compared to the benchmark, there may be some flags about the company. Could it be about the supply-chain issues that have been well-documented? And with a new set of sales Tuesday, is this is a sign of further softening just before the launch event for a new iPad Mini and a rumored new MacBook Pro?
S. Millard Drexler, CEO of J. Crew Group and a member of the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) board, sold 25,000 shares August 31 for a value of $16.6 million, which left him with just 584 shares. Since this transaction, AAPL stock is down about 3 percent, while the S&P 500 index has been up nearly 4 percent.
Later, Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) general counsel Bruce Sewell posted several transaction Sept. 24, jettisoning nearly 2,500 shares at about $688 per share for an estimated value of $1.7 million. Sewell still has more than 10,000 shares in his holdings. In the three weeks since those transactions, the stock has softened by 6 percent while the S&P benchmark has been flat.
And most recently, Apple Inc (AAPL) senior vice president Jeff Williams posted five transactions Tuesday that nearly closed out his holdings. The transactions totaled more than 2,500 shares for a value of $1.6 million (about $646 a share). After these deals, Williams has fewer than 300 shares remaining.
Three insider sales from three different insiders over the last six weeks while the AAPL stock has dropped? What do you think is happening with Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock, and the company as a whole? Is there cause for concern with the iPad Mini launch just days away?
Apple Inc (AAPL) and Facebook Inc (FB): Time to Buy Both? Why Apple Inc (AAPL) Is Still A Good Stock to Buy Apple Inc (AAPL) Grabs a Particle; Google Inc. (GOOG) Out?

Upon opening, AUIS was located on a smaller campus in the heart of the city and had one administrative building and a dozen movable classrooms. Today, the campus houses the best university facilities in Iraq. Its new 169-hectare campus includes an administrative building and an academic building with over 50 new classrooms with projectors, high-tech computer labs, a library with thousands of English language books, in addition to Kurdish and Arabic sections, high-quality dining facilities, a cafeteria, multipurpose auditoriums, a gym, two outdoor basketball courts and a soccer field. The University also includes an additional academic building with high-quality lab facilities and equipment, including a 3D printer. The campus is home to a bookstore, math, writing and language learning centers in addition to the Testing Center and the Career Services Center.
AUIS also has a 400-bed residence hall with modern dorm facilities at the heart of campus, overlooking the AUIS courtyard. All students are welcome to register for housing to live in the dorms.
Located in the beautiful city of Sulaimani and situated on a hill overlooking the city, the campus provides a comfortable and inviting atmosphere where students can study and socialize. On any day, you will find students emerging from the cafeteria, studying in the library, enjoying the outdoors, watching sports matches, or playing music on the benches. The campus was built with AUIS's long-term plan in mind, and will be able to accommodate the continuous growth of the student body and the demand for wide-ranging educational opportunities.
Take a look around the AUIS campus in this short video.

Home The Project Background
Contribution of Saharan-dust to particulate matter (PM) levels affects most of Europe, being particularly significant in the Southern European regions. This condition impacts both daily and annual PM average values. Obviously, most important effects on PM exceedances are observed in polluted areas and large cities (e.g., Rodriguez et al., 2001, Escudero et al., 2007, Gobbi et al. 2007, Mitsakou et al., 2008, Querol et al. 2009).
While a wide literature exists documenting episodes of Saharan dust transport towards the Mediterranean and Europe (e.g., Basart et al., 2009, and references therein), just a few studies are available providing statistically significant results on the impact of Saharan dust on the particulate matter loads in Rome (e.g., Gobbi et al, 2006, Gobbi et al., 2007, Perrino et al., 2009). In the year 2001, an average 30% of the Mediteranean sea region was affected by the presence of dust transported from the Sahara desert. In the central Tyrrhenian region (where Rome belongs) Saharan dust showed an average column mass of 20 mg/m2 in winter and of 50 mg/m2 in the remaining seasons (Barnaba et al., 2004).
In the period 2001-2004, the ISAC-CNR polarization lidar observed Saharan dust plumes to cross over Rome on about 28% of the time, with minimum occurrence in winter. Dust was observed to reach the ground on ~17% of the time (Gobbi et al., 2006, Gobbi et al., 2007). Most (80%) of the observed events lasted less than four days, averaging to ~3.1 days. Typical altitude range of the dust plumes was 0-7 km, with centre of mass at ~2.5 km. These events were accompanied by average ground PM10 increases ranging between 12 and 19 μg/m3. Since the PM10 yearly average of many traffic stations in Rome is close to 40 μg/m3 , these events can both cause the surpassing of such yearly average and increase above the legal threshold the number of yearly exceedances of background stations (Gobbi et al., 2007).
Satellite observations are very effective at capturing the horizontal spreading of Saharan advections (Barnaba et al., 2004; Hatzianastassiou et al., 2009) but they cannot detect the altitude of the dust clouds, i.e., if the cloud is really affecting the ground PM. Such information is effectively provided by polarization lidars, i.e., laser radars capable of an altitude-resolved discrimination of spherical vs. non-spherical aerosols. One of such systems has been designed and operated at ISAC CNR Rome since 1999 (e.g., Gobbi et al., 2000). Still, today's polarization lidars are mainly non-operational, expensive research-type instruments. The possibility of manufacturing cheap, operational polarization lidars and scatter a number of them on the territory would represent a breakthrough in the detection and quantification of atmospheric aerosol layers (e.g., the unique tracking of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano plume by the network of non-polarization CHM15k ceilometers of the German Weather Service, Flentje et al., 2010). This is one of the major goals of DIAPASON.
The EU Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC) allows Member States to subtract contributions from natural sources before comparing concentrations of PM in air to the relevant limit values set by the directive itself. In the year 2010, the European Commission issued guidelines to help assessing the contribution of natural particles to PM levels. Mineral particles from dry regions are among these natural contributions. While setting out a Saharan desert dust-detection methodology, the EU guidelines also consider the need to improve it. The DIAPASON project intends to strengthen such methodology by means of innovative, technologies, capable of attesting the presence of Saharan dust advections and assessing their effects on the observed particulate matter (PM) levels.

I'm trying to learn shell scripting, and I need to understand someone else's code. What is the $? variable hold? I can't Google search the answer because they block punctuation characters.
If somefile exists (regardless whether it is a file or directory), you will get the return value thrown by the ls command, which should be 0 (default "success" return value). If it doesn't exist, you should get a number other then 0. The exact number depends on the program.
For many programs you can find the numbers and their meaning in the corresponding man page. These will usually be described as "exit status" and may have their own section.
A return value of the previously executed process.
In bash, the return value of a program is stored in a special variable called $?.
See Bash Programming Manual for more details.
$? is the result (exit code) of the last executed command.
To understand $?, you must first understand the concept of process exit status.
when a process calls the exit system call, the kernel stores the value passed to the system call even after the process dies.
The exit system call is called by the exit() ANSI C function, and indirectly when you do return from main.
In Bash, when you hit enter, a fork + exec + wait happens like above, and bash then sets $? to the exit status of the forked process.
Note: for built-in commands like echo, a process need not be spawned, and Bash just sets $? to 0 to simulate an external process.
? Expands to the decimal exit status of the most recent pipeline (see Pipelines).
? Expands to the exit status of the most recently executed foreground pipeline.
other values: the program failed somehow.
The exact value could indicate the type of failure.
ANSI C does not define the meaning of any vaues, and POSIX specifies values larger than 125: I never really understood: what is POSIX?
where true is a program that just returns 0.
[ is just an program with a weird name (and Bash built-in that behaves like it), and 1 = 1 ] its arguments, see also: What is the difference between single and double square brackets in Bash?
$? is the exit status of a command, such that you can daisy-chain a series of commands.
The exit code of the last command ran.
It is well suited for debugging in case your script exit if set -e is used. For example, put echo $? after the command that cause it to exit and see the returned error value.
What is echo $? in linux terminal?
What does $? mean in shell?
What is $?WORK in shell scripting?


Construction jobs are among the most dangerous of occupations. Despite OSHA regulations, thousands of workers sustain construction injuries every year. If you have suffered a workplace injury in a construction accident, I may be able to help you recover financial compensation for your damages.
I am Richard Langerman, a Phoenix construction accident attorney with more than 25 years of experience. I have helped recover millions of dollars in financial compensation for clients injured while working on construction sites. To learn if I can be of assistance to you, please contact my office to arrange a free consultation and case evaluation.
People injured in construction accidents may mistakenly believe that workers' compensation is all they are entitled to receive. That is often not the case. I can analyze your situation and determine whether you can bring a construction accident claim against someone other than your employer.
I have represented a number of construction workers who were injured on the job by dangerous work site conditions. I represented the injured worker in the case Lewis v. Riebe, 170 Ariz. 384 (1992), in which the Arizona Supreme Court explained the duty owed by general contractors to provide for work site safety.
My construction site trial experience includes a multimillion dollar victory against the United States government on behalf of seven workers injured while constructing the pipeline connecting the Waddell Dam to the Central Arizona Project.
For knowledgeable and effective legal help in construction accident claims, please contact my law office or call 602-240-5525 to speak to a personal injury attorney today.

E-Learning is one of the best measures available to improve chances of prisoners after release, having the potential to reduce recidivism, to improve security and, in the end, to also pay off economically.
E-Learning consists in the use of electronic technologies to deliver part or all of an educational curriculum outside the traditional classroom, typically on the Internet.
The topic is particularly significant in correctional settings, given that the importance of training and education for prisoners is acknowledged by the codes and rules regulating imprisonment, its organisation, its purpose and goals in many countries, especially in Europe.
Nevertheless, not in all countries do inmates have the legal right on education. There are international conventions and recommendations, like the European Prison Rules published by the Council of Europe (2006), for instance, which undescore that every prisoner should be provided access to educational programmes considering their abilities, needs and aspirations.
E-Learning represents, therefore, one of the measures that there are to improve chances of prisoners after release, having the potential to reduce recidivism, to thereby improve security and in the end to also pay off economically.

Q: SQL Cache dependency issue I was caching the results inside a DataSet using the SqlCacheDependency .
Called out a simple code in page load
string conn= WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NorthwindEntities"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conn);
string query = "SELECT EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, City FROM dbo.Employees";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
SqlDataAdapter dadapter= new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);

DataSet usage :
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
dadapter.Fill(ds, "Employees");

And cached it as :
SqlCacheDependency empDependency = new SqlCacheDependency(cmd);
Cache.Insert("Employees", ds, empDependency, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(10),Cache.NoSlidingExpiration);

However, I run the page,  data loads in grid view and then I modify manually from SQLServer itself. I reload the page and the changed data is immediately visible.
Which line is creating issue OR is anything missing ?

A: Got the issue  here.
SqlDependency notification system wasn't up and running. This was resolved by correctly setting up the Global.asax file Application_Start method.
protected void Application_Start()
 {
    string connString =
    ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ProductionSystem"].ConnectionString;
    SqlDependency.Start(connString); // starting the listener service
}

Creating the Biggest Gold Producer in Burkina Faso
West Africa-focused Endeavour Mining has agreed to buy Teranga Gold in an all-share deal to create a top 10 gold producer which will list in London, the companies said on Monday, a week after they announced they were in talks. The agreement is a breakthrough for the fragmented gold sector and for Endeavour, whose previous attempt at a major merger failed. But with investors jittery about pricey takeover deals after a surge in gold prices, Endeavour's shares fell 2.4 percent to $23, while Teranga Gold – which climbed after the talks were announced last week – fell 1.1 percent. Endeavour will pay 0.470 of its own shares for each Teranga share, a 5.1 percent premium based on Friday's closing prices – valuing Teranga, whose shares are up 97 percent this year, at $1.99bn. Endeavour shareholders will get 66 percent of the combined entity, leaving Teranga shareholders with the remaining 34 percent. Teranga will get three seats on the board to Endeavour's seven. The enlarged Endeavour would seek to list in London in 2021. As the largest premium pure gold producer in that market, it would eventually aim for entry into the FTSE 100 index, thereby increasing the pool of investors and luring more generalists. For the London market, a listing would plug a gap left by Randgold's departure following its merger with Barrick completed at the start of 2019.

Home Finance Uber has rais...
Uber has raised $1 billion for its self-driving unit, which is now valued at more than $7 billion
Graham Rapier, Business Insider US
Dara Khosrowshahi via Twitter
Toyota, Softbank, and Denso corporation are investing $1 billion in Uber's self-driving car unit, the company said Thursday.
The round values Uber's Advanced Technologies Group at $7.25 billion, confirming earlier reports it was looking to raise more capital.
Self-driving technology is not only expensive to develop, but key to Uber's long-term prospects, it said in an IPO filing this month.
Uber has raised $1 billion in fresh capital for its Advanced Technologies Group (ATG), which is developing self-driving cars, the company said Thursday.
A third of the money is coming from Softbank's Venture Fund, Uber said, confirming earlier reports that the Japanese investor was interested in a stake, with the other two-thirds coming from Toyota and DENSO Corporation. The round leaves ATG at a post-money valuation of $7.25 billion, Uber said, and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019.
"This investment and our strong partnership with the Toyota Group are a testament to the incredible work of our ATG team to date, and the exciting future ahead for this important project, alongside great partners," CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a press release.
"The development of automated driving technology will transform transportation as we know it, making our streets safer and our cities more livable. Today's announcement, along with our ongoing OEM and supplier relationships, will help maintain Uber's position at the forefront of that transformation."

Self-driving is notoriously expense to develop, as most companies working on the technology have found, and Uber is no exception. However, autonomy is also key to Uber's pitch to investors as it begins the roadshow of its initial public offering this month. In initial filings this month, the company revealed that paying drivers was among its top expenses – removing them from the equation could help Uber reach profitability.
"While we believe that autonomous vehicles present substantial opportunities, the development of such technology is expensive and time-consuming and may not be successful," Uber said in its S-1 filing.
"Several other companies … are also developing autonomous vehicle technologies, either alone or through collaborations with car manufacturers, and we expect that they will use such technology to further compete with us in the personal mobility, meal delivery, or logistics industries. We expect certain competitors to commercialize autonomous vehicle technologies at scale before we do."

ATG is also part of Uber's vision to help people reduce their reliance on cars, the group's chief scientist said at an event this month.
"The hope is that people will not own the vehicles, you will share the vehicles, the rides," Raquel Urtasun said. "We should think of the future as public transit together with self-driving vehicles to empower people to go from point A to point B – cheap and in a timely fashion."
Friday's investment will help the group continue its development until full self-driving technology is ready to launch. Urtasun warned that could be more than a decade away.
"What is clear is that in a 10-year timeframe there will be a mix of both [self-driving and human-controlled cars]," she said.

Sydney to London Pilot Fatigue: Will Pilots and CASA Approve Qantas' 23-Hour Route?
Pilot fatigue from Sydney to London may be a critical obstacle for Qantas as it works closely with regulators and airline unions to purchase planes for its international flight.
But there may be problems getting approval from pilots and Australia's aviation regulator of duty times that, frankly, would make anyone tired.
The current 'duty time' limit for pilots is capped at 20 hours. This includes the time on the ground before and after flights during which the flight crew is working.
In contrast, the flight from Sydney to London will require an estimated 23 hours duty time.
Source: Pilot Career News
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) will assess the proposed longer duty time based on a study of pilot fatigue on the Perth-London route currently provided by Qantas.
The outcome of their study could result in an approval for longer hours, outright rejection, shorter duty times or alternative measures like a more experienced crew or extended rest periods.
Staying awake in the sky
In January 2019, the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau (ATSB) released a study on pilot fatigue and found over 60 percent of long-haul pilots had experienced moderate to severe fatigue in their most recent flight. Less sleep on duty was more prevalent for international and domestic airline pilots than other air transport pilots.
The consequences of pilot fatigue include diminished decision-making skills and poor judgment, which can severely impair safe aircraft operation and can lead to potential fatalities. For example, the 2009 crash of American commuter jet Colgan Air (which killed 49 people) was partly due to pilot fatigue of the captain and the first officer, who had apparently pulled an all-nighter to get a free transcontinental trip to work.
One key issue is that take-off times for long flights are currently set to work best for passengers but are not ideal for pilot and easing fatigue.
Speaking to Reuters, Avlaw Aviation Consulting Managing Director and former Qantas Head of Safety Ron Bartsch said that "from a passenger's point of view, a night flight at the end of the day makes it easier to adjust to the time".
"Obviously being up the front end, [the pilots] are doing some work."
Source: Doha News.
CASA is overseeing a new data driven management fatigue risk management system at Qantas. Combined with fatigue reports from pilots, the agency hopes it will create a flexible framework for duty times rather than complex, prescriptive rules.
Mitigating fatigue with more experience
Fatigue on long haul flights may be more maintainable with increased experience on deck.
In a statement, Singapore's aviation regulator said that it requires its airline to have two captains and two first officers on shifts longer than 18 hours (which includes time before and after take-off). This "optimises their alertness throughout the flight".
But the Australian airline uses one captain, one first officer and two second officers on their long-haul journeys. Second officers are paid less, can only fly at cruising altitudes and are not allowed to take off or land.
Qantas is currently in the middle of negotiating a new agreement with the Australian and International Pilots Association. It is expected that crew experience, mix and training on long haul flights will form an integral part of contract negotiations. Joyce hopes for an agreement this year.
The record for the longest haul passenger flight is currently owned by Singapore Airlines, which flies non-stop from Singapore to Newark Liberty Airport in 19 hours.

Episode Transcript:
Hello and welcome to the Alpine Valley School podcast. I'm your host, Marc Gallivan. This is episode 36 of our show and we are continuing with our core learning series that we started last episode with learning to read. Today we're going to be discussing how students at our school learn to write. You can find show notes for this episode at Alpine Valley school.com/podcast/ep36 for episode 36 before we get into that, I just want to give one housekeeping note that we have an additional way to support Alpine valley school with a service called donation line. You can donate your used vehicle, car boat, RV, jet Ski Snowmobile, pretty much anything on wheels or that is a mode of conveyance and send that to our fundraising partner donation line and they will donate the proceeds from the item to our school. Ah, we've gotten some great donations in the past from the service, so I wanted to share it with our listeners in case you're looking for another way to help support the school to find out more. You can go to Alpine valley school.com/support and that shows you all the ways that you can support the work we're doing here. As I said today on our show, we're talking about learning to write and I've got two great graduates today that are going to to share their stories on how they learned to write at our school. So let's jump right in.
Let's meet the graduates you'll be hearing from today.
Vanessa: (01:28)
My name is Vanessa and I am a podcaster. I'm a writer. I um, work in communications basically and I just graduated with a post baccalaureate diploma in communication as my second degree and I'm trying to think. I graduated from AVS in 2004
Jesse: (01:55)
My name is Jesse Alford. I am a software engineer, pivotal software. My formal education runs about to that of huckleberry Finn, which is something that I'm somewhat fond of. I work in a collaborative environment, requires a lot of communication and writing code, but also writing documentation.
How do you use your writing skills in your work life?
People often think of writing as being, especially as a passion being about fiction. But when I think about writing and where my passion for writing draws me in the work environment is much more around technical documentation, commit messages, documents, or even extemporaneous bits of writing, whether they're on a whiteboard or you know, chat room, trying to explain concepts and reach consensus and all right. Get ideas across both with that, you know, and work with closely and with people where you have to build up an entire context. So you end up having to think about, okay, what exactly is my audience know which pieces of information that I excited about the topic may wish to include, do they not actually need in order to think about this the way I'm hoping to help them think about this. So like, I think this is a specific representation of the stereotypical belief that communication is the most important and complicated and ongoing process in an organization, whether it's a corporation or a nonprofit or whatever. It's just all these little pieces of communication often written that tie the organization together and make it exist.
So communication involves writing in many different ways. Um, yeah, and I was saying earlier that I'm a podcaster and you would think, oh, podcasting, it's a very audio based. Um, it's something that, uh, you might not think would involve a lot of writing, but it really does like you need to be able to plan and episode, which might involve writing notes to yourself. It might involve research, which, um, honestly you can't do without being able to. Right. Um, it might involve interviewing somebody and writing down the interview questions after you've researched that person. Um, and it involves writing show notes. Um, podcasting is super involved with writing. I also do communication for a nonprofit and um, I work on the social media, I write blog posts. Um, I write emails like writing touches every single thing that I do. Pretty much. Yeah. It's funny because I always said to myself, I want to be a writer when I grow up. Like when I was, you know, a teenager or whatever. And I'm not necessarily somebody who has published a book, but I am a writer because I'm writing all the time in so many different ways.
How would you describe your writing life while you were at Alpine Valley School?
I wrote like all the time. I don't think there was a day that I was at AVS where I wasn't working on something, whether it was a poem that I randomly thought of or a story that I actually wanted to finish or, um, an assignment for class. Cause I think actually the three of us were in sort of a quote unquote English class with one of the staff members, Bruce. Um, and I actually learned in that class basically how to write an essay, which I didn't really know how to do before. And then I went on to, you know, now get two university degrees and that kind of thing. Like writing was like my whole life at aps. I don't even know what more to say. I just was writing all the time. I had said earlier that I kind of had always wanted to be a writer. I've been writing since actually before I could even write, like, you know, I would draw pictures and tell stories through the pictures and then I learned how to write. So I started writing instead of drawing pictures. So I think that's just something that's always been a passion of mine and has always been there. But I, I think honestly that when I was in public school, I felt like my writing passion was squashed a little bit and I'm not a hundred percent sure why that was. I think maybe because I didn't have the space to really explore and have the freedom to really dig deeper than myself and write things that I wanted to write. So at being at AVS, I just had this like tremendous freedom two, take that passion and do what the what I wanted to.
Okay. Uh, so I was driven to write by two things and one of them I didn't really recognize as writing even before I came to AVS. Uh, I wrote a fair amount and it was very weird. It was not what people were asking me to do. I liked technical manuals as a kid and like, no, not, I'm not talking about technical manuals for printers. I got into those later. I'm talking about, it's the star trek technical manual, right? Like a, a piece, a this, this thick book, dry describing this fake technology and including a lot of diagrams of how phasers and transporters and tractor beams work. I kept some of the Ephemera from there and I can go through it and see, you know, listing outs of uh, how much ammunition and how many days of water. This spaceship that I was thinking about carried and I had stories in mind for this and I think some of it was inspired by, you know, I was at a Montessori School before AVS so teachers would, you know, assign a story writing assignment. And I would do the minimum number of words or whatever to actually create the story they were asking for. And then on my free time I would generate this expansive and detailed accounting of the exact technical capabilities starship. I'd imagine once I was at AVS there was a lot of imaginative play and some of that came with textual support. I, in addition to having the imagined to play, take something like dungeons and dragons, there would be the adventure notes. There would be the plot notes or the, the character design a notes on ideas for development that I wanted to see maybe players lean into. Uh, cause I, I run it ran a den and under the dragons game for years. As for the writing class, I actually only ever joined two formal classes in my time at AVS, Japanese and writing. I joined them in the same year and for the same reason, which was that I had a crush. So Japanese did not take. The homework was hard. So I stopped. I stayed in the writing class for a very long time because it was very interesting and satisfying. Okay. Well I decided that I was going to join the writing class. I wrote the first poem that I am aware of having written, certainly the first poem that I wrote because I wanted to write a poem and not because someone was trying to make me do something. I settled into trying to write fiction, like the fiction that I enjoyed in addition to this weird stuff. Uh, the third category of writing, which again was crush- driven, very important for an educational plan for a teenage boy, was chats, online chats. I learned it type and you know, I was interested in this, this cool girl who wrote and cared about English. So I, I, I learned to be, you know, use correct punctuation, capitalization and spelling use good sentence structure and B, Clever and enjoyable and communicative in a chat context. I practiced that it really hard, long hours probably with instant feedback. Right? Cause you the girl is either impressed or she's not. And that was also a big piece of what ended up being my chat client voice. Like my written voice, which has continued to be a distinct asset years on.
So how do students at AVS learn to write?
Uh, first time I tried my hand at being a JC clerk, I wrote really good notes for JC and it took far too much time and it wasn't sustainable and it burned out. But I wrote those really good notes and people kept doing that. Right? These procedural moments, whether it's the minutes of school meeting or uh, complaints. Even when you're writing someone up for the judicial committee or the, or capturing minutes in a meeting, any sort of, you know, the stuff we were talking about earlier, the procedural communication that makes an organization exist. It's actually something that the students participate in. So I forgot that whole layer of it. And then as you were asking the question of like, oh, what are, how do people learn to write at AVS? There's this whole layer of the experience that generalizes to a bunch of other people. Okay. And then there's people who, you know, much like learning to read by playing video games, end up learning to write in order to do fan fiction or tell each other theories about video games. There's participation in internet discussions and forums. Uh, there are group chats that's more and more a thing. So it's just really woven through the AVS experience. And if you, I mean, you don't, I was going to say, if you can't, right, you can't participate, but it doesn't really work that way. No one can't write. They learn to write so that they can participate
I remember the younger kids sometimes coming up to me and saying, I want to write up so and so, you know, take them to JC. Um, but I can't write, can you help me? So I would help them. I wasn't going to sit there and be like, okay, I'm going to teach you how to write. No. Um, but I, I would write it for them and I'd be like, okay, tell me what you want me to say and I'll put it down. Um, and I also remember as those kids grew up, um, realizing that they wanted to have that agency to write somebody up. So they had to figure out how to do it. And I remember I'm one of the younger girls coming up to me and being like, can you help me write up this person? Um, I want to do it myself, but can you tell me if I'm doing it right? And this memory just came back to me and I remember feeling like, oh, yes, of course. Like I felt really honored. Um, I was at AVS from 2000 2004. Writing was definitely a huge thing, but it's really a huge thing now. Like Jesse was saying, group texts, um, group chats, texting each other on phones like we need to be able to right in this day and age, so to speak. And I imagine that those kinds of technologies have really even become more used at AVS. Like I remember being at AVS and we were like, you know, Ooh, we have cable internet, you know, and now it's like, uh, everybody's got a phone I'm assuming. And you know, things have really changed. So, um, I just think that it's, it's just hard to avoid having to write. And I would be very surprised if there was ever a kid who came out of AVS not being able to write.
That does it for episode 36 of our show, you can find show notes for this episode at alpinevalleyschool.com/podcast/ep36 for episode 36. As always, thanks for listening. I'm Marc Gallivan. This is the Alpine Valley chool podcast, and we'll be back again soon with more stories of real learning for real life.

One-woman show
SAN ANTONIO - Stanford's Nnemkadi Ogwumike was having one of the greatest performances ever at a women's Final Four, yet her team was ahead by only three points with 16 seconds left.
So how did she break free for an uncontested lay-up?
Slipping away from the Oklahoma defenders she'd befuddled all night, Ogwumike took a long inbounds pass near midcourt and strolled in for an easy basket that sent the Cardinal to a 73-66 victory last night and into the national championship game.
"I didn't think I would actually be open," Ogwumike said. "I thought it was an awesome play to run. It was definitely spur of the moment. A great coaching decision. We executed it right and it worked."
Ogwumike scored Stanford's first eight points and the final seven - in the last 51.3 seconds - on the way to a career-high 38 points. It was the second-most in women's Final Four history, behind the 47 scored by Texas Tech's Sheryl Swoopes in the 1993 championship game against Ohio State.
Ogwumike also had 16 rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal, which came right after that clinching lay-up, all to screams of delight from family and friends just three hours from her Houston-area home.
They get to watch her play again, too, Tuesday night, when Stanford (36-1) faces unbeaten UConn in the finals. Connecticut is the only team Stanford has lost to since Jan. 18, 2009, having fallen in last year's Final Four and early this season. Then again, the Cardinal is the last team to beat the Huskies, in the 2008 NCAA Tournament semifinals.
This will be Stanford's second NCAA final in three years. The Cardinal is seeking its first championship since 1992.
"We're excited to be playing on Tuesday night," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. "This is just great."
So was Ogwumike.
She had 14 points and nine rebounds by halftime, and seemed to be everywhere. When an Oklahoma player grabbed an offensive rebound, she stunned the Sooner by reaching around and grabbing it, too, tying her up. Then she deflected a pass out of bounds off an OU player and celebrated with a fist pump, a high-five and a smile worthy of a swished three-pointer. She later felt a double team and shoveled a pass to Jayne Appel for a lay-up that put the Cardinal up by 14.
When Oklahoma (27-11) started closing in midway through the second half, Ogwumike - the Pacific-10 player of the year - scored eight points during a 12-4 run. Soon after, she had a three-point play and earned a standing ovation from fans when she went to the bench.
And, of course, there was her fabulous finish: She scored nine of Stanford's final 11 points and assisted on the other, which was another long pass for a breakaway lay-up by Appel.
"Her game has matured," VanDerveer said. "She's confident, in the flow, knows what we're looking for."
The Sooners were down 17 in the first half and trailed by 16 with 8:31, yet kept rallying.
Sparkplug point guard Danielle Robinson was a big part of OU's slow start and a big part of its recovery. All of them. She, too, could've used more help.
The Sooners were especially hurt by missing 26 of their first 32 shots from the field; they got back into the game by making 50 percent in the second half.
"It was too little too late," coach Sherri Coale said.
Robinson led the Sooners with 23 points.
Abi Olajuwon - playing in front of her father, Hakeem Olajuwon, for the first time in her four-year college career - had 12 points and nine rebounds.
What they lacked most was someone who could disrupt Ogwumike.
"She's just very explosive and bouncy and does a great job of getting fouled, obviously, and then converting free throws," Coale said.
Added OU's Amanda Thompson: "She's making everything and was really aggressive down low. And we couldn't really double her because they had another 6-5 girl over there. She was just incredible all night."

JetBlue announced Wednesday it would be adding multiple daily flights from New York City and Boston to London in 2021, marking the airline's first European destination.
The new service will be operated by JetBlue's fleet of Airbus A321LR single-aisle aircraft and will feature a reimagined version of Mint, the airline's premium product. It remains unclear which airports the carrier will serve in London.

JetBlue's entrance into the transatlantic market will offer travelers taking to the sky on a budget the luxury amenities of bigger airlines at a more affordable price. The features include the most legroom in coach, live television at every seat, free Fly-Fi broadband internet, complimentary snacks and soft drinks and quality customer service.
"Twenty years ago, our founders had a simple formula for choosing a new market – it had to be overpriced, underserved, or both," JetBlue chief operating officer Joanna Geraghty said in a statement.
"London is the largest metro area JetBlue doesn't yet serve from both Boston and New York, and we could not be more thrilled to be changing that in the years ahead," Geraghty continued. "The fares being charged today by airlines on these routes, specifically on the premium end, are enough to make you blush."
The expansion into Europe is part of JetBlue's focus city growth strategy, with London being the largest destination not served by JetBlue from both New York and Boston. The addition of the trans-Atlantic flights will strengthen the carrier's foothold in both U.S. cities, as well as satisfy the demands of business and leisure travelers who wanted a cheaper alternative when flying to England.
The announcement of JetBlue's new London route was made Wednesday by CEO Robin Hayes and Geraghty at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport in front of over 1,300 crewmembers and executives.

rhino poaching crisis

rhino poaching
game rangers association of sa
The rhino poaching crisis being experienced in the Kruger National Park is increasing in magnitude daily. This situation has escalated to the point whereby as of 23rd May 2013, 1065 rhino have been poached within the park since 2010. The Game Rangers' Association of Africa (GRAA) finds the current situation deplorable.
The GRAA acknowledges the role played by the dedicated field personnel who are attempting to keep this situation under control. The sacrifices that these men and women are making in order to ensure the preservation of our natural resources deserve further recognition and appreciation. The debt we owe these dedicated and brave conservationists and their families can never be repaid.
The GRAA calls on President Jacob Zuma and the South African government to fully acknowledge the onslaught that our rangers are facing while they attempt to protect not only South Africa's rhino but its natural heritage in general.
The GRAA calls on President Jacob Zuma and the South African government to fully acknowledge the onslaught that our rangers are facing...
Professionally trained and armed militia from Mozambique enter South Africa to plunder the country's natural resources on a daily basis. These actions are tantamount to acts of war and such actions are putting not only South African citizens at risk but also one of South Africa's economic sectors namely tourism[1]. South Africa's rhino hold significant value within the ecotourism industry. The GRAA does not believe it is the rangers' responsibility to defend the borders of South Africa against these armed incursions which aim to slaughter the country's rhino and whoever dares to stand in their defence.
Game rangers operate in a constrained environment in terms of resources and legal boundaries compared to that of the military. The current poaching situation needs to be moved beyond the responsibility of the Department of Environmental Affairs. The financial pressure being felt through the deflection of duty to the Department of Environmental Affairs and ultimately, conservation, needs to be challenged.
We therefore call on the South African government to take a zero tolerance approach to what amounts to total disrespect of the country's borders. We call for an increased South African National Defence Force presence on our borders to maintain their effectiveness in securing the property, economy and citizens of South Africa.
We urge the South African government to address the matter immediately with Mozambique at the highest possible diplomatic levels, with the mandated ministerial departments and to exert severe pressure on the Mozambican government to address the situation. The current disregard by Mozambican citizens of the sovereignty of South Africa's borders cannot be allowed to continue. The situation has escalated from an environmental issue to one of national security. It is time to acknowledge this and act accordingly with the full force of the law.

The big news here today is that the Bosche have started another push which the consensus of opinion would indicate as their last. Last night, the wind being from that direction, the noise of the guns was perceptible. Then today "Big Bertha" opened up again after almost a month of quietude. They always loose it off at the same time as an attack. Tonight it is quite clear and the moon is about a third full so I'm expecting to hear the sirens announcing the "Gothas" almost any time. Guess they'll be with us these clear nights with a moon and during the push, following the Huns' usual attempt at frightfulness.
 Coleman "Cole" Blease (1868-1942), two-term governor of South Carolina (1911-1915) was defeated in his 1914 bid for U.S. Senate by Ellison D. Smith, the incumbent. Elected to the senate 1925-1931; unsuccessful candidate for governor in 1922, 1934, 1936. Blease was not apparently a candidate for any office in 1918, the year Monty expresses his concern.
