A very well laid out park. Nice, but neighbors are a bit close. Easy access (paved roads and parking pads), very limited cell service. Gigantic beach... very good for long walks... no off-leash area for dogs, even on the beach :o( Also, couldn't tie my doggy zip-line to any trees... argh... We camped at Grayland Beach State Park in a Travel Trailer.
Westport, just a few miles away has great seafood!!! Bought an excellent side of salmon at Merino's to take with us, and had great fish and chips and beer at Bennett's Fish Shack.
A very nice park!!! We chose this park because it is equidistant from both sides of the St. Helens Park. Unfortunately, the Windy Ridge road had not opened when we were there. This park is on a lake (reservoir) that is beautiful and provides opportunities for boating, swimming, and fishing. The site was level and had excellent separation from other sites. Generally very quiet while we were there. We camped at Ike Kinswa State Park in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice park. Our site (22) was very level and spacious with huge cedar trees and lots of shade. A beach with a lovely view and nice sunsets... but VERY rocky... not very good for a beach walk. Lots of kids when we were there, riding bikes around the RV loops...but still generally peaceful. No WIFI. Adequate cell service (AT&T). We camped at Birch Bay State Park in a Travel Trailer.
Situated on Pearygin Lake, a very pretty site. Fairly level sites, close to each other. Full hookups or partial hook-ups. Swimming, fishing, boating, other water sports. Would have given the site 5 stars, if they weren't all packed together so closely. We camped at Silverline Resort in a Travel Trailer.
Near Winthrop, Twisp, and Mazama. Good food, bike trails (road, and off road).
A nice park. Lots of green grass and shade trees. Fairly level sites. The Sun Lakes / Dry Falls area is a geologically fascinating place to visit, and there are lot things to do. Swimming (we did, and loved it), boating, golf (we don't play). We camped at Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park in a Travel Trailer.
DON'T go in August!!! It is REALLY HOT. Typically in the upper 90s. I'm guessing April or May would be good months to visit this park. Be sure to visit the Sun Lakes Dry Falls State Park Visitor Center... VERY interesting!!!!!
Fish Creek is one of two campgrounds in Glacier National Park that can be reserved. It is on the west side of the park, St. Mary is the east side. The park is a fantastic place to visit, but I don't believe there are any campsites IN the part that have hookups of any kind. Another campground near Fish Creek is Apgar, which is quite large and swarming with people, a bit reminiscent of Camp Curry at Yosemite. We much preferred Fish Creek because it was quieter. If you like dry camping, this is one of the best campgrounds inside the park. The sites were extremely varied... some level, others very out of level, some with a large area for a picnic table, chairs, etc. others not so much. The access roads were reasonably good, but we saw someone with a longer trailer nearly destroy his awning trying to maneuver his trailer into a somewhat narrow pull-through. SPECIAL NOTE: While every loop (A, B, C, D) had clean well-maintained bathrooms, ALL of the showers are in loop A (4 total for 178 campsites). There is commonly a big lineup. While the shower stalls were clean, the dressing area outside the shower stall had a perpetually muddy floor, because it gets wet (naturally), and people are entering after having trekked a fair distance on dusty trails from other loops. We camped at Fish Creek Campground (NPS Campground) in a Travel Trailer.
There are lots of things to do, hiking, Going to the Sun rd, boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing.
We chose this park because it is about half way between other places we stayed at. It is situated along the Coeur d'Alene river, about 30 miles east of Coeur d'Alene, just off of I-90. It has scenic views of the river. There is a beautiful paved bike trail that runs through the park and follows the river for miles in both directions. The access is paved, the pads are concrete, and very level. Most, if not all, have electric and water, some have sewer. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The access to I-90 is convenient but the freeway noise is a downer... although this was no bother when we were sleeping. The bathrooms were clean and perfectly functional, but VERY homemade ("funky"), and might not pass code where we live. We camped at Kahnderosa River Campground in a Travel Trailer.
Try the bike trails... We liked east better than west. Didn't disconnect because site was very level and only stayed one night.
This park is a favorite. This was our first time there, and we will likely return again this year before the weather turns cold. A huge green park, well maintained, many trees for shade, very level sites, lots of space between sites, fantastic paved bike trails following the Columbia river... a place to swim in the river. BTW - Didn't use the showers, but looked and they were clean... and we didn't bother unhooking the car because we were only staying one night and the site was dead on level. We camped at Wenatchee Confluence State Park in a Travel Trailer.
Try the Apple Capital Bike Trail... If Wenatchee Confluence is full, try Lincoln Park, only 8 miles away, and connected by a paved bike trail. 3 miles down the beautiful Apple Capital Bike Trail (south) is the Pybus Market with places to eat, coffee, meat store, and lots more.
Beautiful park, very scenic. Our site was very level. I think there was only one bathroom/shower building, we were conveniently located, but a good walk to the bathroom for some sites. Only gave 4 stars on service cuz we never saw anyone while we were there... Still everything was very tidy and well maintained. It rained (uncharacteristically) most of the time we were there, but I would normally expect heat. Not much shade, especially on our site.
All the sites have a beautiful view of the lake (reservoir). The sites on the lower part of the loop are close to the water (I don't think the approved swimming areas are adjacent to the RV sites). I think the sites on the upper part of the look have a more expansive view (that's where we were, and we liked it). We camped at Emigrant Lake - The Point RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
This is a delightful park. Sites are all very level, paved with good separation. Nice Bike trails. Didn't disconnect because the site was perfectly level and we only stayed 1 night each way. This park was exceptionally quiet... at least when we were there. We camped at Champoeg State Heritage Area in a Travel Trailer.
This is a beautiful park! About 2/3 dry camping sites, some with very nice views, and 1/3 electrical/water in forested setting... huge Douglas firs and cedars. We stayed in the forest area with water and electric. Site levelness is variable, but many sites are nearly perfectly level. We stayed in site 41, which was very level, no side to side leveling required (we will try to get this site again). The State Park website described the privacy of this site as poor, which I found odd as it is certainly one of the most private sites in the park, and one of the most private sites I have ever seen. Lots of nice trails for hiking with fabulous scenery. The only downside to this park is that it is near the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The planes at this base include fighter jets and prop planes, both types of which fly practice runs very close to the park... it can be very loud. This is the reason I didn't give an overall rating of 10. Even so, we still enjoyed our stay very much, and will likely stay here again. We camped at Deception Pass State Park in a Travel Trailer.
This park is one of our favorite WA State Parks. Full hookups, widely spaced sites, some sites have terrific privacy, and amazing shelter from the wind. We camped at Fort Worden State Park (Beach campground) in a Travel Trailer.
Get a site on the big loop adjacent to the wooded area... Great privacy, excellent wind shelter.
This park is in a spectacularly beautiful location. We did not have to pay any fee (I said $1 cuz it wouldn't accept $0) to stay because we were participating in a beach cleanup (but I think it is usually pretty inexpensive). Our site (D38) was kinda small but we made it work (it was first come first serve, and some of the best spots were taken by tent campers... they do take reservations later in the year). If you are looking for privacy with an amazing view, try to get D24. We camped at Kalaloch Campground (NPS Campground) in a Travel Trailer.
Go when you can get a reservation... Try to get a site overlooking the ocean.
This is a wonderful RV park. Apparently, the new owners took it over a year or two ago. It is clear they have done much to improve every aspect of the facility. We arrived just after 8pm... one of the owners came running out as we drove up and guided us right into our space. When we made our reservation, we had mentioned that we were only staying one night, arriving late, and leaving early... so we were hoping to get a space that didn't require leveling. The space they gave us was absolutely dead on level side to side and front to back... we didn't even have to unhitch the car. My wife asked if they sold firewood... A few minutes later the owner delivered fire wood and started the fire for us. The owners are some of the friendliest and most helpful people I have ever met. The bathrooms were amazing... spacious and spotlessly clean... they looked new. There are a big variety of spaces in this park... pull through, back-in, places for big rigs, shaded, wide open. We camped at Elwha Dam RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
This site is close to the Elwha river on the north side of the Olympic peninsula. Lots of of great hiking in this area. Also, close to Port Angeles.
Nice, most spaces have good privacy. Needed to do some leveling... Plenty of room for awning & slide. Very friendly staff. Spaces 3 & 4 provide GREAT views (less privacy). Biggest issue for us was ground water... Late summer probably not a problem... March/April soggy ground everywhere (not in campsites). Great beach for clamming/bird watching. We camped at Bay View State Park in a Travel Trailer.
Town of Edison (quaint), 6.5 miles... Great food, fabulous bakery, easy bike roads to/from Campground, 20 minute drive to Anacortes with many good restaurants, grocery, etc.

Can Facial Recognition Tech Stocks Calm Public Jitters?
Tech companies need to reassure the public this lucrative field won't be turned against them.

I may not be able to respond to every suggestion, but I do read them all! Think an article needs a correction? Reach Rich here.
The old admonition to be careful what you wish for because you might just get it applies to facial recognition. Useful in opening your iPhone and in helping law enforcement bring criminals to heel, the technology's proliferation also portends a dystopian future in which people live in a surveillance state and our every move is analyzed by algorithms, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
Privacy advocates warn of the potential for abuse and misuse, meaning it's up to the technology giants leading us into this brave new world to reassure us their achievements won't be used against us. So far, Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), and others have done little to assuage our fears.
Of course, don't just blame the tech giants. Consumers have proved all too willing to give up freedom for security, the bane of a republic that Benjamin Franklin warned would make us deserving of neither.
A survey by privacy watchdog ProPrivacy found 55% of all Americans believe facial recognition technology is largely a force of good that has an important role to play in public safety, with another 54% expressing a willingness to exchange certain freedoms if the technology could offer benefits.
Most people weren't aware that when they signed up for Facebook and began sharing photos of themselves and their families and friends online, the social media giant was scanning all the facial images and digitizing them to store in its database.
It was sued under an Illinois law that made it illegal to collect and store biometric data without a user's consent. This past summer, it lost an appeal in federal court that said it violated the law, though it plans to appeal again. The class action lawsuit is seeking $35 billion in damages. Facebook previously agreed to pay a $5 billion fine to the Federal Trade Commission for data privacy violations.
Alphabet's Google and Snap were both sued under the Illinois law. Google was able to win dismissal of its case; Snap's is ongoing.
A benign presence
Yet consumers are often swayed if not enamored by their first, seemingly innocuous introduction to the technology. The Snapchat filters subject to the lawsuit use a form of facial recognition, while Apple's iPhone X facial recognition capabilities let us unlock our devices just by looking at them.
The technology that replaced Apple's previous fingerprint scans helped the smartphone quickly become one of Apple's top-selling iPhones, even though it carried a $1,000 price tag.
And the technology is spreading out well beyond just tech company innovations into more mundane situations. Last year, fast-casual burger chain BurgerFi introduced new self-serve kiosks at which customers are given the option of paying for their order using facial scans that will be stored on site for three years.
It's not really a new technology, though most people likely don't realize how widespread its adoption is becoming or where it is being used. Consumers accept these erosions of privacy because they're not viewed as threats. They believe they're just unlocking their phone or paying for their burger or that retailers like Walmart and Target, which tested and abandoned facial recognition systems to identify shoplifters, are using it for valid purposes. The ProPrivacy study found, in the wake of various school shootings, that 54% of Americans are also comfortable with facial recognition being used in schools.
It's only when the images become used for other purposes that they realize the implications.
Because a face is something the world can see, the police don't need your permission to use facial recognition to unlock your phone. Courts have ruled people can't be forced to give up their passcodes to open a phone, but fingerprints and facial recognition are not similarly protected.
It's why Amazon.com's Rekognition product has privacy experts and its own employees concerned. The e-commerce giant is putting the full computing capabilities of its Amazon Web Services division to work, analyzing photographs and video footage at blazing speeds to identify faces for the police.
Amazon was forced to allow shareholders at its annual meeting this year to vote on whether it should stop selling the technology to governments and law enforcement agencies. Amazon had tried to block the shareholder proposals from appearing on the ballot but was overruled by the SEC. It need not have worried; shareholders overwhelmingly voted against the proposals.
Pushback from industry
Yet some voices in the tech world are urging caution. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has become an outspoken advocate for limiting facial recognition's spread and for regulating it closely, even though it has developed capabilities of its own.
It wrote last year, "Facial recognition technology raises issues that go to the heart of fundamental human rights protections like privacy and freedom of expression." It believes tech companies can't self-police them in this field and that government needs to step in and take control.
ProPrivacy editor Sean McGrath agrees, saying, "As of right now, the technology is completely unregulated, often inaccurate, and has the potential to erode our rights and civil liberties protected by law."
While Edward Snowden's revelations about government spying on U.S. citizens make an effective argument that the government can't be trusted with that power either, some businesses are voluntarily stepping away on their own. Stun gun and body camera maker Axon Enterprise (NASDAQ:AAXN) was looking to integrate facial recognition into its products, but an ethics panel it formed said the technology was not reliable enough to not be abused. Axon chose to end its program until safeguards could be developed.
The price of eternal vigilance
Facial recognition can be beneficial in a large array of cases in both private enterprise and law enforcement. It also has the potential to be vastly lucrative for those developing it. But it is up to tech companies to take a principled position, like Microsoft and Axon Enterprise have done, to reassure the public they will only allow the technology to proliferate if it can be safely deployed without undermining our freedom in the process.

Review: 'The Passage' Is Off to a Brilliant Start With Heart and Bite
By Nicole Drum - June 4, 2019 12:41 pm EDT
Contemporary television is, in many respects, dominated by two things: shows almost built for binge-watching and purposefully complex, open-ended plots that very much lend themselves to the former. Fox's upcoming The Passage, however, is neither of those things. Instead, it's direct, simplistic, and contained -- and that's what might just make it one of the most refreshing new series in a long time.
Adapted from the Justin Cronin novel of the same name, The Passage follows the story of a young girl named Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney) whose life becomes complicated by a secret, government project ostensibly with the goal of eradicating human disease. Unfortunately, as is the case with many shadowy government organizations in fiction, Project Noah's experiments have had some terrifying side effects. Amy is chosen to be a test subject in that program, but as promos for the series have already hinted at, she ends up being "the most important girl in the world."
While the miracle cure gone awry is very much a part of the story -- and it's important to note that while The Passage works very hard to avoid the term, the scary side effect is that it turns people into vampires -- the real core of the series is the relationship between Amy and federal agent Brad Wolgast (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), who is first tasked with collecting Amy and then chooses to defy that task to protect her.

While that general premise leaves plenty of opportunity to become burdened and overcomplicated quickly, Liz Heldens (who adapted the book for screen) does an incredible job of keeping things simple. The show keeps viewers very much in the loop about what is going on, why it is happening, and even the things that have to be held back in order to create the tension that dramas such as The Passage require to remain engaging aren't held back too long. Each episode provides just the right amount of meat to the story to satisfy the viewer while keeping enough hidden that they will want to come back for more.
It's that balance that works particularly well; the episodes are satisfying enough that viewers will likely want to sit with what they've seen and spend time with it, not just wait for the full season to binge. With many contemporary shows, there's this urge to watch as many back-to-back as possible due to the questions each episode leaves viewers with, but The Passage doesn't do that. What you see is very much what you get, and within that there is room to think and digest what's transpired with well-considered cliffhangers and teases. In that respect, The Passage is a show that invites the audience to sit down, slow down, and enjoy, an act that feels almost revolutionary in an age of streaming entertainment.
The Passage also does a solid job of remaining faithful to Cronin's best-selling novel while also avoiding most of its shortcomings. The novel, at times, is incredibly difficult to follow with too many moving parts frequently distracting from the otherwise engrossing apocalyptic potential-end-of-humanity plot. In contrast, the show keeps the high stakes of the situation in view without ever losing sight of Amy, and the few changes from book to screen actually enhance the young girl's story, bringing her to life in a way the book never quite could.
As for how Amy is portrayed, Sidney does an absolutely brilliant job with the character. Sidney's Amy is both incredibly resilient and believably vulnerable, and the young actor completely nails the nuance of that, giving Amy all the walls and defenses a child who has experienced the traumas this character has in their short life while retaining a sense of wonder. Gosselaar's Wolgast is also a memorable, well-balanced character with the actor portraying a man who is both caring and protective, but also a little gruff and brooding. Together, their dynamic is believable and relatable, and it's one of the true strengths of the show.
Overall, while The Passage may not have the complexity of plot that viewers have perhaps grown accustomed to, but it's that simplicity that makes it stand out from the pack. While many other series demand a deep commitment from the viewer, The Passage simply invites you along, and it's a journey we are certainly willing to take.
The Passage premieres Monday, January 14th at 9 p.m. EST on FOX.

Q: Telegram check if user is admin I am using the telegram bot api to make a bot. I have some commands that can only be sent from admins. Like kick and ban commands. How do I check if the sender is an admin or not? I am using the python-telegram-bot api. I do not want everyone to be able to ban members.

A: You can use getChatMember method. See following instance:

A: I have found after searching a bit. The admin status is stored under Telegram.ChatMember.status. It is documented here. It is used by bot.get_chat_member(chat_id, user_id). And then getting status in it.

A: The other answers are correct, but require an additional call to the API. An efficient solution is to cache the list of admins.
A good solution for this is described here, copied below:

Cached Telegram group administrator check
If you want to limit certain bot functions to group administrators, you have to test if a user is an administrator in the group in question. This however requires an extra API request, which is why it can make sense to cache this information for a certain time, especially if your bot is very busy.
This snippet requires this timeout-based cache decorator. (gist mirror)
Save the decorator to a new file named mwt.py and add this line to your imports:
from mwt import MWT

Then, add the following decorated function to your script. You can change the timeout as required.
@MWT(timeout=60*60)
def get_admin_ids(bot, chat_id):
    """Returns a list of admin IDs for a given chat. Results are cached for 1 hour."""
    return [admin.user.id for admin in bot.get_chat_administrators(chat_id)]

You can then use the function like this:
if update.message.from_user.id in get_admin_ids(bot, update.message.chat_id):
    # admin only

Note: Private chats and groups with all_members_are_administrator flag, are not covered by this snippet. Make sure you handle them.

Response to the Poems of Night Sprinkle in White Horse Temple with Matching Rhyme in Running-cursive Script Main Body
Chen Xianzhang (1428–1500)
Art Museum, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Chen Xianzhang (1428–1500) occupies an irreplaceable position in the cultural history of Guangdong in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As he taught in Baisha Town in Xinhui for a long time, he was respectfully called "Mr. Baisha." At the age of twenty (1447), he achieved the title of juren in the provincial examination. In 1466, he returned to the Imperial Academy at the capital, where he composed poems and held lectures, and became very well-known in the capital as the "Return of the True Confucian." In 1574, the Emperor ordered the construction of the Chen Baisha Shrine to commend his scholarship and self-cultivation. In 1585, an imperial edict was issued to erect a memorial tablet of Chen Xianzhang in the Temple of Confucius in China. Mr. Baisha became the only person in the Lingnan area to receive this honour.
Chen Xianzhang advocated "the realization of Heaven's principles with an empty and quiet mind," and achieved a harmonious fusion of one's mind and Heaven's principles by means of "meditation." He attached the greatest significance to "dao" [method, way] and "li" [principle], saying, "the plain qin zither had no string in the first place [but the music can be apprehended by those who appreciate it]." As the famous saying from Zhuangzi goes, the trap can be forgotten as soon as the fish is caught; music, language, rhetoric, and calligraphy are only mediums for the transmission of "dao," and working meticulously on the carriers of "dao" is simply a case of putting the cart before the horse. When it comes to his calligraphic style, Chen did not have an assiduous pursuit for refinement, and was instead guided by nature. It is different from the Secretariat Style, which emphasizes neatness and tidiness. Instead, in Chen's calligraphic works, the ink follows the movement of the brush and forms dry strokes, with little or no lifting and pressing, and the strokes of the characters are archaically simple and collected. When he lived in the countryside, it was inconvenient for him to buy brushes, so he used local materials and bound cogon grasses together into a brush, forming his unique and creative "Cogon Grass Dragon" calligraphy.
Chen Xianzhang was an expert in cursive calligraphy, and his style was inspired by that of the Jin Dynasty and Ouyang Xun of the Tang Dynasty. In Response to the Poems of Night Sprinkle in White Horse Temple with Matching Rhyme in Running-cursive Script (1493, age sixty-six), the style is simple and confident, with natural strokes. This work was passed on to Gan Zuofan (1859–1941) in the late Qing. Gan's friend Yang Shoujing (1839–1915) wrote an introduction and a postscript. Yang claimed that the calligraphy of Chen Xianzhang was inspired by Zhang Xu and Huaisu of the Tang Dynasty, and his strokes are thin and hard, with extraordinary expressions. Yang used the phrase "flying hawk and leaping fish" as the opening line of his inscription. He compared the free style of Chen Xianzhang's calligraphy to the freedom of flying hawk and leaping fish, and praised the theory of Baisha as a means of understanding the lively "dao" existing in all things in the world, allowing one to break away from the tedious study of words and to master the meanings and principles through subtlety and silence.

Edit 2:
With Gonzalo Medina's code, I get

That is, no (a) or (b).
This had to do with the option caption = false with subfig.  By removing that option, (a) and (b) appear.

A: Since you cannot use floats inside the tcolorbox, \subfloat won't work here. Since you are already using subfig, you can use the \captionof also for subfloats; if you want the subcaptions inside the tabular, you'll need to wrap them in a \parbox (this is not necessary in other contexts):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{standalone}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{tabu}
\usepackage{subfig}

\captionsetup[subfigure]{labelformat=parens}

\tcbset{
  theorem/.style args = {#1#2#3#4}{%
    step and label = {#2}{#4},%
    title = {\mbox{#1~\csname the#2\endcsname\ }#3:}}
}
\newcounter{exa}
\tcbmaketheorem{examples}{Example Problem}{

\begin{document}
As we see in Example Problem~\ref{ex:test}...
\begin{examples}{example ert}{test}

    \end{tabular}
    \captionof{figure}{caption}
  \end{minipage}
  \par\medskip
  \lipsum[2]
\end{examples}
\end{document}

Notice also that I changed the marker you were using in the last mandatory argument of examples so the string used for cross-referencing is simpler.

A: Adding \captionsetup{type=figure} at the right position should help:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{standalone}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{tabu}
%\usepackage{capt-of} % -- dropped
\usepackage{subfig} % -- "caption=false" removed

\tcbset{
  theorem/.style args = {#1#2#3#4}{%
    step and label = {#2}{#4},%
    title = {\mbox{#1~\csname the#2\endcsname\ }#3:}}
}
\newcounter{exa}
\tcbmaketheorem{examples}{Example Problem}{
  breakable,
  fonttitle = \bfseries,
}{exa}{ex}

\begin{document}
\begin{examples}{example ert}{exa:test}
  \lipsum[1]
  \par\medskip
  \begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
    \captionsetup{type=figure} % -- added
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{cc}
      \subfloat[caption]{\includestandalone{line}} &
      \subfloat[caption]{\includestandalone{line}}
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{caption} % -- replaced by regular \caption
  \end{minipage}
  \par\medskip
  \lipsum[2]
\end{examples}
\end{document}

However, this needs the subfig option caption=false to be removed. Is there any particular reason why you have set this option?


In The Islamic Republic of Iran, the overthrow of the Pahlavi Dynasty during the Islamic Revolution of 1979 is enshrined in the memory of the people by a national holiday.
Anniversary of the Islamic Revolution is the culmination of a 10-day celebration that mirrors the 10-day revolution from 1 February to 11 February of 1979. However, the date is based on the Iranian Solar Hijri calendar, scheduled on the twenty-second day of the month of Bahman, so the date shifts from year to year on the Western Calendar.
Ayatollah Khomeini, who led the revolution, entered the capital city of Tehran on 1 February and began fomenting discontent. Uprisings increased in Tehran and elsewhere in Iran, until Iran fell into Khomeini's hands by 11 February.
On Anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, many march to Azadi Tower in Tehran, re-enacting the march of rebels to that tower back in 1979. Many also put Iran's flag on display, put up posters of Khomeini, or chant revolutionary slogans.
The government of Iran greatly promotes Anniversary of the Islamic Revolution Day since it celebrates the revolution that brought them into power. But even people feeling at odds with the current government of Iran may celebrate because the revolution overthrew the monarchy and is seen as pro-Islam.

Chelsea set to sign teenage keeper
Chelsea are reported to be very close to signing teenage goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina. The West London club came close to securing his signature back in February, but discussions were then put on the backburner because of the government sanction and subsequent transfer. In the meantime Real Madrid attempted to hijack the deal and Wolves were among the other clubs interested ...
Koundé wants to leave Sevilla
Sevilla have confirmed that French central defender Jules Koundé wants to leave the club this summer. This time last year the 23-year old was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea but remained at the la Liga side after they refused to budge on his valuation of him. However, he has remained firmly on the radar of the West London ...
Leading clubs monitoring James's situation
Both Manchester City and Real Madrid are monitoring the situation of Chelsea and England wing back Reece James. The 22 year old still has three years left on his current deal, but is one of the lowest paid members of Thomas Tuchel's first team squad. There were no negotiations over an improved new contract that more reflects his value to ...
Morata to join Gunners?
Andy Dalziel June 6, 2022
Former Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata could be set to join Arsenal.

That is despite having a pre-agreed fee of ...
Running to Stand Still
Having just completed the takeover of the club, Chelsea's new owners have just announced Thomas Tuchel will have around £200 million to spend in the transfer window this summer.

Elsewhere, Manchester City, who have already bought Erling Haaland for £51 million and Julian ...
Chelsea re-ignite full-back interest
Chelsea are set to re-ignite their interest in Barcelona full-back Sergio Dest. Now that the takeover has finally been completed, the West London club can turn their attention to transfer business, with revamping their defence a priority.

Barcelona cannot register Christensen
Barcelona may have agreed to sign Andreas Christensen on a free transfer from Chelsea. However, at the moment they are unable to register him, along with their other major free signing, AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie, because of the club's financial situation once again. The Catalans must first set or get rid of some existing players before they can add ...
Could Dembélé be the first Chelsea summer signing?
Andy Dalziel May 31, 2022
Chelsea are hoping that Ousmane Dembélé could be their first signing, not only of the summer but also of the new era under the ownership of Todd Boehly. The 25-year old Frenchman is set to leave Barcelona this summer, with the two sides still gridlocked over a proposed contract extension, with the player unwilling to accept the terms on offer. ...
Chelsea set to miss out on midfielder
Chelsea are worried that they are set to miss out on one of their key transfer targets as the delays in the sale process continue. Monaco midfielder Aurélian Tchouaméni has long been on the Stamford Bridge wish list, but he has already agreed personal; terms with both Liverpool and Real Madrid. Chelsea would be prepared to match those terms, but ...
Bellerín return confirmed
Real Betis have confirmed that full-back Hector Bellerín is returning to Arsenal now that his loan spell is about to end.

La participación de Chile en los Juegos Olímpicos de Estocolmo 1912 fue la segunda actuación olímpica de ese país luego de tres ediciones de ausencia. La delegación chilena estuvo compuesta de catorce deportistas, todos ellos hombres, que compitieron en eventos en cuatro deportes. El abanderado fue el atleta Rodolfo Hammersley.

Inicialmente, la Federación Sportiva Nacional envió  una delegación de deportistas a los Juegos Olímpicos, pero la Asociación Atlética y de Football de Chile (AFCh) —sucesora de la Football Association of Chile, constituida el mismo año en Valparaíso— también envió, por su cuenta, a su propia delegación de deportistas, cuestión que provocó sorpresa en el Comité Olímpico Internacional, dado que, por primera vez en la historia, un país enviaba doble representación deportiva. Después de un estudio de los antecedentes, el COI reconoció en forma oficial a la embajada deportiva de la Federación Sportiva Nacional, presidida por Máximo Kahni, y obligó a los atletas de Valparaíso  a reconocer a dicha entidad para participar en las pruebas olímpicas.

El equipo olímpico chileno no obtuvo ninguna medalla y tampoco se adjudicó diplomas olímpicos (puestos premiados).

Atletismo

Seis atletas representaron a Chile. Fue la segunda aparición del país en esta disciplina.

Ciclismo

Cuatro ciclistas representaron a Chile. Fue la primera aparición del país en esta disciplina.

Equitación

Dos equitadores representaron a Chile. Fue el debut del país en dicha disciplina.

 Saltos

STATUT du SYSTÈME MENTIONS LÉGALES
President and Founder of S2E Partners
AUTEURS INVITÉS 44 TRANSFORMATION DIGITALE 58
Sherpany: Digital leadership is one of the latest buzzwords when it comes to tackling the challenges and opportunities related to digitalisation. What is different now compared to 5 years ago with respect to digitalisation?
Cécile Bernheim: A few years back, digitalisation was a topic for specialists. Now, it has become a topic for everyone, since digitalisation impacted us all with the development and usage of smartphones, apps, the web, e-commerce and technology, in general. Even in the case of companies, digitalisation has shifted from an expert's question to everybody's question. It is marking everyone, one way or the other, through big data, the development of software, factory 4.0. etc.
More and more individuals are involved in digitalisation, so it is fundamental to take the human factor - people - into account.
It's even more important when you are in a leadership function to make sure that, first of all, you involve everyone, not just the IT department, the Data managers or the Chief Digital Officers, but also people from R&D (research and development), production, commercial. Secondly, you need to bring everybody on board, so you have to inspire your staff by explaining what's going on. That way you involve them and get their commitment faster. You can do more and more with digitalisation, and that would be expected in terms of technological progress, but it's not only about technological progress, it's also about people. In my view, that's the main difference in digitalisation practices over time.
Sherpany: From a C-level perspective, what is key to mastering a company's digital strategy and digital assets?
Cécile Bernheim: It's key to have the vision, and ask the right questions: where do we need to introduce digitalisation in our systems, processes, way of working so that we keep abreast of what's going on and keep ahead of competition? This will help a company be more efficient, quicker, more precise.
Digitalisation is a way to reach company's goals
and improve operational excellence.
Take for example the automotive industry. If you go on a company plant in an automotive industry, you can see everything is automatised. Automatisation is based on digitalisation. Consider companies that are very good in the distribution arena, as well. One example is E.Leclerc, the French company, that has very powerful customer programs. They are mastering the data through very precise CRMs (Customer Relationship Management), building promotion and retention plans that fit every individual - it's really micromarketing based on digitalisation.
Another example is the e-commerce Leboncoin, a website where you can buy and sell things. Its core business bases itself on using data and algorithm that allows people to sell or buy efficiently. It's important to see in the end, based on your own industry, where to be good at digitalisation, and then digitalise.
Sherpany: Organisations with women in leadership positions seem to have decreased in the number of board seats held by women, according to a report by Deloitte. For example, women serving on CAC 40 boards are now counted at 42%, compared to 2015 when numbers showed 48%. How do you see this trend in connection to leadership practices, especially in countries such as France?
Cécile Bernheim: France is at the leading edge when it comes to women on board, thanks to the Copé-Zimmermann law which enstore quotas. The quota states that a board needs to have at least 40% of one gender, so it has either 40% women and 60% men, or 40% men and 60% women. Since the law passed in 2011, the percentage of women on boards automatically increased from about 13% - 15% to above 40%, and that's for CAC 40 companies only, proving the importance of being proactive to foster change.
At start, chairmen and board members elected women to be compliant with the law. Now they continue because, looking back in the mirror, many boards are recognising that it was beneficial for the company: changing the atmosphere in the board room, having more rounded and deep discussions, generating more value.
You may see the female representation evolving overtime, always within the 40% minimum threshold. This is only normal and linked to the election/re-election process and the fact that board will always ensure to have the best talent, male or female in their board. For example, the French energy company, ENGIE had at one point over 60% women in their board, which meant they were no longer compliant with the law. It's not about 40% and increasing the number, it's really being respectful of the law, with a 40% minimum of one gender.
The next step is to go from 40% women representatives on board to 40% in the executive committees, in the leadership teams. We need to make sure that men on boards and chairmen really understand the value of women in leadership positions. This is clearly recognised by external entities through various reports on explaining how women are creating better performance, creating better atmosphere in the boards and so on. These women are becoming role models, and this is very important as there were few women role models up until now. At present, we are not there yet, and this is really where things need to move.
Sherpany: Former CEO of Lenovo in France, Mrs. Elisabeth Moreno, mentioned in an interview that "mastering digital technology is a factor for women to progress in their careers". In your opinion, how does digital fluency create leadership opportunities for women?
Cécile Bernheim: I think companies are slowly but surely changing, a lot of top companies have diversity programs to promote women. Women really need to dare, to put forward their talent and skills, so that they can get leadership positions. As mentioned previously, companies are developing their business with the help of digitalisation, and women - the few that are in tech - who are digital experts or are digitally agile will clearly have more opportunities offered to them, just by the essence of the numbers. Women are as competent as men, no question about that.
Sherpany: What do digital leaders look like and what is your advice for those who aim at becoming digital leaders?
Cécile Bernheim: The big difference is the importance you attribute to people in digitalisation. I think a good digital leader is someone who is able to inspire, to have a vision, to include digitalisation in his/her vision, and be able to share this with all employees. The leader needs to make sure it's not something which is imposed top-down and that everyone has an active role to play, understand their role in the development of the company and its digitalisation process. It's not only a question for leaders, but for everyone: how can I impact the company through what I do?
These type of leaders are curious people, open to what's going on in and outside of the company; they are able to call upon talent and expertise, either internally or externally so that they can enrich their vision and the programs they're building. I also think that they need to be humble enough to try things and recognise when something is not going the way it should be, stop, change and go in another direction. This takes agility and humility, because the world is not - as French say - a "long fleuve tranquille" (a long calm river).
The world is uncertain, marked by changes such as globalisation, the evolution of economy and technology. If you are not ready to understand the different facets of any given situation, then you won't be able to manage this uncertainty, more so in a digitalised world.
Sherpany: Thank you, Madame Bernheim.

Every year, more than 700,000 new driving licences are issues in the United Kingdom. Although many learners choose to learn to drive with a friend or relative, there are clear benefits involved in learning to drive with a professional and qualified instructor. Driving is a complex skill where many factors come into place, so teaching others how to drive is not a simple task. Being a driver does not automatically mean that someone will be a good driving teacher, and it is for this reason that professional driving instructors possess the necessary knowledge, experience, and specialised training required to help others acquire safe driving skills.
There are thousands of qualified driving instructors in the UK. Many have chosen their profession as it offers flexible working hours and the possibility of becoming self-employed. Driving instructors can set their own hourly rates, and many also highlight that their jobs give them a genuine sense of job satisfaction, as they see learners progress and become skilled drivers themselves. If you are considering a career as an approved driving instructor, this article will describe the skills and qualifications involved in the process.
Who can become an Approved Driving Instructor?
The basic legal requirements to become an Approved Driving Instructor are being aged 21 or above, having held a full driving licence for at least three years, and not having been disqualified from driving a vehicle during the four years prior to application. Drivers who have a criminal record or who have up to three fixed penalty points in their licences may still apply to become an ADI, but they should be aware that their application may be unsuccessful. Potential ADIs must also obtain a criminal record certificate.
In addition to passing three mandatory examinations, approved driving instructors need to have a set of personal skills that can help them be more successful and competent in their jobs. Experienced driving instructors agree that some of the most important personal characteristics are being patient, being able to offer advice in a firm but diplomatic manner, empathising with learners (especially with nervous learner drivers), being flexible, having outstanding communication skills, and being able to make quick decisions.
The Driving Standards Agency oversees the process of appointing new driving instructors. The first step is to submit an application to the Registrar in order to become a Potential Driving Instructor (PDI). All PDIs are issued with a personal reference number and with an individual reference number.
Once they receive confirmation that their application has been approved, Potential Driving Instructors must pass three separate examinations or tests. It is possible to prepare for the tests individually, although the Driving Standards Agency recommends that specialised tuition is sought, as the pass rates for candidates who prepare on their own are not particularly high. Even in the case of candidates who prepare through a school, pass rates for 2012 were as low as 30 per cent. The Driving Standards Agency offers free information on organisations that can run instructor training courses through their Official Register of Driving Instructor Training, or ORDIT.
The first examination is a theory test that assesses a candidate's knowledge of driving regulations. The test consists of 100 multiple-choice questions that must be completed within 90 minutes, and is followed by a hazard perception test, which consists of fourteen 1-minute long videos.
The second examination is a 1-hour driving ability assessment, prior to which an eyesight test is performed. Candidates must attend the examination with a suitable car and demonstrate outstanding skills behind the wheel. The results of this test are communicated to candidates in writing. Passing this examination gives candidates a trainee driving instructor status, and allows them to charge a fee for their instruction and to display a triangular pink badge that attests to their trainee status.
The last examination assesses the instructional or teaching ability of candidates. The examination is divided into two practical 30-minute tests, during which an examiner will take the role of a learner driver in two different scenarios. Candidates are required to identify and analyse the learner's faults and to provide suggestions for remedial action. Candidates are also tested on their lesson's structure, the feedback given, and their communication skills.
Once they have passed the three examinations, PDIs must apply to the Registrar for full Approved Driving Instructor status. This must be done within 12 months of taking the last examination, as otherwise the Driving Standards Agency will consider that a candidates' skills are not up-to-date and will request them to re-take the examinations.

His work is guided by his principle of making film that treads lightly on the landscape both literally and figuratively.

It's one of the most straightforward coffee drinks to make and it's one of the most popular too, but the actual method of serving the perfect Americano is the subject of some debate. That's pretty much because there's one of two ways you can do it.
The drink itself is a quite a simple affair: it's created using a shot of espresso and hot water, and traditionally the split between the two is equal (1:1). But you can always mix things up – two shots of espresso to make it stronger or more water to make it lighter.
The bone of contention between baristas the world over is what part should come first in the perfect Americano. Do you pull the espresso shot over the hot water or do you do the opposite?
Well, we're going with the latter – not least because the former (espresso over hot water) is called a Long Dark and regarded as a different type of coffee altogether in that it tends to preserve the crema on top of the mix.
And you can argue, too, that you should always make the espresso in the cup it'll be served in. That's because pouring it from one cup to another can leave behind some of the crema – and, in turn, some of the flavour.
So, that means we'll be preparing our espresso base first. And that means referring to our first "how to" guide – making the perfect espresso. If you're already well into the swing of things with your espresso-making skills, you'll have this down to a T.
Just follow the same steps as you would normally, but this time using a larger cup – around 180ml/6oz in capacity. You can always heat the cup with water before the espresso is prepared too, but make sure it's dry before you pull the coffee through.
With your espresso prepared, the next phase is to get the hot water – if you haven't already, that is. We'd advise filtering the water to make sure the quality is as high as it can possibly be.
Pour the water slowly into your espresso shot, adding as much as either your cup or taste demands. The crema from the espresso might sit on top of the water to begin, but will infuse with the water to leave a finish that can be as strong as drip coffee.
The appeal of an Americano is that it's fast to prepare, easy to drink and convenient. And as you may have guessed by the options open to you, it's a versatile coffee – one that can be customised and tweaked to suit your customers, moods and tastes!

Sodus double homicide: Charlene Childers appears in court
Georgie Silvarole Sean Lahman
Murder suspect Charlene Childers appeared in a Wayne County courtroom Thursday to tell the judge she'd hired a new attorney.
She will be represented by Auburn attorney Rome Canzano.
The change comes after charges against Childers were upgraded to second-degree murder last month. She had originally been charged with second-degree conspiracy and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Childers, 25, and her husband, Timothy Dean, are charged in connection to the Oct. 22 shooting in the village of Sodus that left Joshua Niles, 28, and Amber Washburn, 24, dead. All charges are felonies.
Dean, 32, has been charged with first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and second-degree conspiracy.
Childers, 25, is the mother of Niles' two oldest children.
The Wayne County Sheriff's Office believes Dean was the shooter, but that Dean, Childers and a third defendant, Bron Bohlar, all conspired to kill Niles. Wayne County District Attorney Michael Calarco said the new murder charge filed against Childers is a result of that theory.
Dean, a former police chief in Sunray, Texas, was arrested in Texas on Oct. 29 and extradited to New York on Nov. 19.

A local train enthusiast got his start on the rails, lending a hand to the volunteers of Port Alberni's own steam train.
He is now the youngest certified steam locomotive engineer in the province.
Rod Gledhill acquired his early interest and skills honestly. Born into a mechanical family, his father, Dan, was the head mechanic at the Alberni Pacific Railway.
By the time he was 14 years old, the younger Gledhill was getting his hands dirty on-site helping his father with repairs during the winter of 2004.
He was always tinkering around in the roundhouse and his passion for steam locomotives grew from being surrounded by experienced volunteers with the Western Vancouver Island Industrial Heritage Society.
"Guys like Rollie Hurst and George Williamson took me under their wings and taught me everything they know about locomotives to be able to pass the torch to the younger generation," Gledhill said.
Through job shadowing and oneon-one training, Gledhill worked his way up as a certified fireman on the Number 7 and eventually to engineer.
By the fall of 2011, Gledhill was inspired to pursue the Railway Conductor training program at BCIT and was hired by the Canadian Pacific Railway six months after completion.
After 10 months on the job, new management with the CPR came in and drastically cut costs, including the lay off of 20,000 people in Canada.
Gledhill was one of those workers. He decided to take a job at the pulp mill in Port Alice, but feels he has the best of both worlds.
He said he might reconsider the industry in the future, now that a recent hiring freeze has ended.
"Someday down the road I might, but as it stands now I am making good money and working indoors," he said.
He said the volunteers of the WVIIHS taught him not only the technical skills, but commitment and patience.
"They are willing and capable of sharing their craft with any of the younger generation who wants to learn because it is a labour of love," Gledhill said.

Balancing minority and majority rights: lesson overview

Wonder Woman's Lynda Carter opens up about her own terrifying sexual harassment ordeal
Susan Devaney
Actress Lynda Carter has revealed the sexual harassment she suffered on set of Wonder Woman.
From Reese Witherspoon to Selma Blair and Gwyneth Paltrow, in recent months many women in Hollywood have shared their own #MeToo story as the movement continues to gather pace in 2018.
And now, Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman, has added to it by sharing details of the sexual harassment she suffered onset of the successful TV series.
Without naming the individual, Carter revealed that he had "violated a lot of people".
"He's already being done in. There's no advantage in piling on again," Carter told The Daily Beast, adding that she'd explored legal options in naming him, but to no avail.
The TV series, which ran from 1975-79, saw Carter play the iconic character with aplomb. But, she was subjected to a second instance of sexual harassment during filming when a cameraman thought he could spy on her.
"There was a cameraman who drilled a hole in my dressing room wall on the Warner Brothers lot," she said. Thankfully, he was later fired for his behaviour.
Carter as Wonder Woman in the TV series which aired from 1975-79.
Carter also said that women have been trying to tell men about the sexual harassment we're subjected to on a daily basis for a "long time" but they "haven't listened". Instead, women in the film industry have had to devise a way to protect themselves.
"Who you are going to tell except your girlfriends and your circle of friends? You'd say or hear, 'Stay away from that guy.' 'Watch out for this casting director'," explained Carter. "And so you would hear it from other people, other people would hear it from other people. 'Watch out for so and so.' That's how you protected yourself: through the grapevine."
Despite the abuse Carter suffered on set, she has always loved Wonder Woman, and has voiced her support for remakes. After the release of Patty Jenkins' version, featuring Gal Gadot as the character in 2017, Carter responded to the criticism from director James Cameron, who called the superhero "an objectified icon".
"STOP dissing [Wonder Woman]: You poor soul. Perhaps you do not understand the character. I most certainly do. Like all women–we are more than the sum of our parts. Your thuggish jabs at a brilliant director, Patty Jenkins, are ill advised," Carter wrote.
You tell 'em, Carter.
