This is my author page and blog. Here you can learn about, among other things, my book, Ignite35: My Life in the Sex Fetish Community. It's narrative nonfiction that's part memoir, part expose' and part "how to" book, all centered around the real world of the BDSM community. If you ever wondered what it's really like to wield a whip over a submissive, or just to socialize with those who do, Ignite35 is where the answers–the real answers–can be found.
Intro to BDSM Safety
When people ask me what they should learn about upon entering the BDSM world, one of the main things that I stress is safety. Ours is a tricky world, with lots of potential hazards. From the moment we begin, we have to be careful. That doesn't just include making sure we can quickly get someone out of an elaborate knot we've tied. It can be a whole host of things, from habitually clearing our search history to understanding negotiations and safe words to exercising caution when communicating with and meeting new people. So let's look at a few tips to keep in mind.
1) Searching the internet- If you're new to the idea of BDSM or not that computer savvy, then you're going to want to be careful what sites you get on and who else has access to your computer. The easiest ways to be careful when it comes to the sites is to keep one thing in mind. That is, there's a difference between networking and dating. When you're operating in the BDSM world you want to netwo…
Intro to Joining the BDSM Community
I entered the BDSM community late. That is to say, I joined up in my mid-thirties, much later than the average kinkster. I was certain that this put me at a disadvantage, that I seemed stupid to my peers and that the amount of "catch-up" that I had to play would take forever. Two things helped though. For one, I learned that I was not the only one who had a sexual awakening and entered the community way past their, so-called, prime. Many people discover what their fetishes truly are and join the world of kink later in life, some even as late as retirement. The second thing was that I had a solid support group who took me under their wings and guided me. As a result, I like to carry that tradition on and help new people when I can and that's why I felt an intro to joining the BDSM community post was in order.
I find that the main things new people―brand new people―need to know comes down to how, what and why. How do you join the community, what do you do once you're in and why…
Bonus Post: New Opportunity vs. Silly Psychic Nonsense
Okay, so I have a blog. You already knew that. I mean, you're reading it right now, right? I also did something else that I never dreamed I'd do in order to promote my book and that's open a Twitter account. I poked around, started following some other people that I thought might be interested in my writing and was met with a totally bizarre offer from left field. That is that a BDSM toy company asked me to write for them, once a week, as their exclusive blogger. They appear to be a really good company to. Seems great, right?
There's just one thing making me hesitant. That is, of all things, my horoscope. Yeah, you read that right. I got a horoscope that said, basically, that I would receive a business offer that seemed great, but that it would invariably turn out to be a problem.
Alright, let me state here that I am not one to normally take astrology terribly seriously. In fact, I tend more to think of it as nonsense peddled by charlatans. But then, I brought it up t…
My editors recently mentioned something that they found odd about my book, Ignite35:My Life in the Sex Fetish Community. As I've previously mentioned, it's a narrative nonfiction piece that, among other things, takes a close look at many of the basics of BDSM, from negotiations to safe words to techniques. It also tries very hard to cover many of the gross omissions of things like the dreaded Fifty Shades trilogy. One thing that it only brushed against however was aftercare. My copy editor was curious why I didn't go into more detail. After pondering the question I was forced to admit that I simply overlooked it. I did bring it up and depicted a couple of quick examples, but ultimately...I forgot. Hardly a responsible approach to aftercare (tragically ironic, some might even say) but...there it is.
Of coarse, I do have this blog. Something my other editor said was that I needed to write on this thing, regularly. It seemed appropriate that my first non-announcement post shou…

The Palaung ( ; Thai: ปะหล่อง, also written as Benglong Palong) or Ta'ang are a Mon–Khmer ethnic minority found in Shan State of Burma, Yunnan Province of China and Northern Thailand. In China, they are referred to as the De'ang ( also spelt Deang) people.

They live mainly in the northern parts of Shan State in the Pa Laung Self-Administered Zone, with the capital at Namhsan.

The Ta'ang (Palaung) State Liberation Army, the armed wing of the Palaung ethnic group, began fighting against the Burmese military in 1963. It entered a cease-fire agreement with the central government in April 1991, but is currently continuing the insurgency. Both the government and the rebel armies have derived benefit from poppy cultivation, which has caused serious drug addiction among the local people.

Groups

There are three main subgroups of Palaung: the Palé, Shwe and Rumai.

The Chinese government groups together the Palé, Riang, Rumai and Shwe peoples as the De'ang ethnic nationality. The group also includes the Danau (Danaw) who may no longer have a separate identity from the Palé.

Language

There are three main principal Palaung languages:  Palé (Ruching), Rumai, and Shwe (Ta'ang or De'ang).

Distribution
In China, the De'ang are found in the following villages of  Zhenkang County and Gengma County. In China, they are known as the Laopulao (牢普劳); there are six other De'ang groups located in Burma.

Dazhai Township (大寨乡), Muchang District (木厂区), Zhenkang County: Bangwa (邦娃) Dazhai (大寨), Xiazhai (下寨), Huoshishan (火石山), Laobandeng (老班登), Mahuangqing (蚂蟥箐) of Chaikao (柴考)
Nansan Township (南伞乡), Pengmushan District (彭木山区), Zhenkang County: Xiaochanggou (销长沟), Beiyan (北岩)
Hongmulin (红木林) and Manxing (曼兴) of Hewai District (河外区), Gengma County: Junnong (君弄), Mamao (马冒), Jinmo (金莫), Muyin (木因), Xungang (巡岗)

Religion
Most Ta'ang are adherents of Theravada Buddhism and Buddhist temples can be found in most of their towns. Buddhism is present in all of the daily activities of this ethnic group. At the age of ten, many children are sent to the monasteries, primarily for education. Most of them return to lay life in later years.

The Riang are the only one of the four groups who have never converted to Buddhism. The majority of the Riang are animists.

View Full Version : Matching haplotypes still available for YHRD ?
delegz
Before YHRD was re-vamped last year, I was able to enter allele values for particular STR markers that I was interested in, such as 11/13.2 at DYS385a/b, in order to obtain a list of all the full haplotypes in its database that included those specific values for the markers I'd indicated. With the newer version of YHRD, I can't figure out how to do this anymore. Instead, I'm now able to get only the number of haplotypes in the database that happen to have 11/13.2 at DYS385, information with which I can do nothing.
Would appreciate any guidance on how to obtain those full matching haplotypes again. Thanks.
I emailed the YHRD directly about this, and was told in reply by someone there that the former version of the YHRD was meant for reference/quality-measurement purposes, and that the tables of haplotypes no longer existed because YHRD has "focused more on frequencies than giving the proof of them."
After noting that the aim of the YHRD was the assessment of Y-STR evidence in forensic context as well as providing a resource for population genetics, the response expressed bafflement as to how anyone might reasonably benefit by being able to obtain full haplotypes based on particular uncommon alleles at a certain locus.
I replied, despite the news that the tables of haplotypes were now history, by trying to explain why they were so useful to anyone seeking data on very (actually very very) small and scattered sub-clades or potential sub-clades, such as those whose members have DYS385=11/13.2 and are derived for Z142 but ancestral so far for any known SNPs downstream. Haven't heard back so far, but then don't expect to.

it is fully working now, but they have made it more harder for acceptance of samples ( all 5 out of 5 from same person has to pass the test before it is accepted), it is more private ( they once told you the origin of the sample, not anymore )
anyway, I found the site interesting........it uses the latest M.van Oven ydna Tree.
below is the LT-P326 ...........a marker which only the K1 group have, that is , only L and T branches before they split apart

Michelle Rhee meets with Donald Trump. Could his education secretary be a Democrat?
President-elect Donald Trump met Saturday with former Washington schools chancellor Michelle Rhee and Republican donor and activist Betsy DeVos, contenders for one of the Cabinet positions he has discussed the least, secretary of Education.
On the campaign trail, Trump said relatively little about education policy other than suggesting that he'd support school vouchers and home-schooling and possibly scale back or eliminate the U.S. Department of Education.
DeVos is the chairwoman of the American Federation for Children, a group that promotes charter schools and private-school vouchers. She is also the former chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party.

Light It Up, Baby: Glow-in-the-Dark Surgery in The Works
By Megan Gibson @MeganJGibsonFeb. 08, 2011
Getty Images.
This gives the phrase "lit from within" a whole new meaning.
A new, fluorescent liquid is being developed by researchers at the University of California's San Diego School of Medicine that would, once injected, cause a patient's nerves to "glow", allowing surgeons to more easily avoid nicking them during surgery.
(More on TIME.com: How are robotics changing medicine?)
The substance "consists of a protein fragment containing amino acids," according to the Daily Mail, and has been effective in preliminary experiments on mice, rendering nerves about ten times more visible to the naked eye than normal, with no known side effects.
One of the researchers, Professor Roger Tsien, said that the new liquid would be much more effective in outlining the nerves to avoid during surgery.
"The analogy I use is that when construction workers are excavating, they need a map showing where the existing underground electrical cables are actually buried, not just old plans of questionable accuracy," he said. "Likewise when surgeons are taking out tumours, they need a live map showing where the nerves are actually located, not just a static diagram of where they usually lie in the average patient."
(More on TIME.com: See a diary of healing)
Surgeons usually avoid nerves while operating guided solely by their knowledge of the human body. However, this can lead to problems as nerve location can vary slightly from one person to the next. Another method used to avoid nerves is electromyographic monitoring which uses electrodes to find major nerves but the smaller ones still go undetected.
The fluorescent liquid hasn't been through human testing yet, but if it proves successful the method could prevent the majority of accidental nerve damage during surgery. (via Daily Mail)

Q: Changing one variable in all the headers of api requests using jmeter Situation:
Using recording with Jmeter I have generated a list of api requests. The way my test object works is that when you login using UI it creates a key for the entire session (which also keeps on changing), however there is an option of having a static api key for a user that you can use for all requests when sending the api requests NOT using the UI of my software.
Problem:
I have a list of api requests that I want to test but I would like to overwrite only one variable in the header of all my api requests (i.e. adding the static api key).
Is there a way of overwriting only one variable in all (most of) the headers?

A: The Header Manager lets you add or override HTTP request headers.
Create a header manager at the top and enter the common value. This value will be send with all the headers.
For more information check the below link:-
https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/using-jmeters-http-header-manager
Hope this helps.

A: Add/Copy desired HTTP Header Manager above the Thread Group OR above Recording Controller and remove/disable all HTTP Header Manager inside request samplers, all request samplers will use the Main HTTP Header by default.
Cheers!

Q: How to avoid ksh to save a password from command line? I have coded a script in ksh which receives a password as parameter in the command line, like:
myscript.sh -u myid -p mypwd
The problem is that this script is used with an service id, which anyone in the team can use, and in this way, the password will be saved in the ksh command history, and that can be a concern in audit.
Also, if someone do a ps -ef|grep myscript during the execution, he/she will be able to catch the password provided in the command line
My main goal here is have a way to call the script but somehow not have the password saved on the history, and if possible, avoid to have it also on the ps -ef output
I know how to disable the history entirely, but I CAN'T do it, as the history might be available for audit reasons.
bash is not an option at this moment.
I can edit the script itself, but I don't have root auth on the server.
This script is called together with others, multiple times (sometimes, +100 times) so, get this from STDIN on each interaction would not work.
Does anyone see  a way to accomplish this?

A: Change the script to read the password from STDIN rather than as a command line argument? You can use the shell builtin 'read' to do this.

A: Store the password in a readable-by-user only file. Have the script:

*

*accept the file name from the command line (and default to something reasonable, say $HOME/.script_secret),

*(optionally) ensure that the file is user-only readable, then

*read the secret from the file.


Every year, more than 600 times a day in the United States alone, somebody needs CPR. Sudden cardiopulmonary arrest is the leading cause of death for all adults, male or female.
Modern medicine has come up with a number of tools to combat cardiopulmonary arrest. Many require medical training and/or complex equipment, but cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), can be used by lay people with only a little bit of training.
This article will explore how this simple first aid technique can help save lives and give you step-by-step instruction to learn it. This would be a good plan to include in some of your family time.


Are you excited for a bumper year from Marvel Studios? Before the release of Avengers: Endgame comes Captain Marvel!
Based on the beloved Marvel comic book series, the movie features the first stand-alone, female-franchise title character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A former officer and Air Force test pilot, Carol Danvers becomes the universe's most powerful hero when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races, the Kree and the Skrulls. Danvers is a maverick and not easily controlled, but through her journey she finds her true self and the path to harness her incredible powers.
Always loved marvel movies,enjoyed watching this,great lead up to avengers end game!
I'm not really a Marvel fan, but have to admit I enjoyed this film. An action packed and fast moving film with some interesting characters.
ok so we needed to know who she is...great. Rushed and uninspiring. Won't be one to add to the collection but will be cool to see how it all comes together in Endgame. Worth the watch for the fans but nothing like the other individual films..

Q: Xamarin - Camera class or object prevents my phone camera from working I have written an app that switch on the Flashlight. My only issue is that every time i open my app, my phone camera option stops working - that is i can't open my camera anymore. The camera starts working only if i kill my application. Here is my code :
public static Camera camera = null;

I call TurnCameraOn() in my ON button and TurnCameraOff in my OFF button.
private void TurnCameraOn()
        {
            if (CameraAvailable() == true)
            {
                if (camera == null)
                    camera = Camera.Open();

                Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.GetParameters();
                parameters.FlashMode = Camera.Parameters.FlashModeTorch;

                camera.SetParameters(parameters);
                Android.Graphics.SurfaceTexture mPreviewTexture = new Android.Graphics.SurfaceTexture(0);

                camera.SetPreviewTexture(mPreviewTexture);
                camera.StartPreview();

                cameraFlashLightOnThread = true;
            }
        }

        private void TurnCameraOff()
        {
            if (CameraAvailable() == true)
            {
                if (camera == null)
                    camera = Camera.Open();

                Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.GetParameters();

                parameters.FlashMode = Camera.Parameters.FlashModeOff;

                camera.SetParameters(parameters);
                camera.StopPreview();

                cameraFlashLightOnThread = false;
            }
        }

        private bool CameraAvailable()
        {
            bool availale = true;

            if (PackageManager.HasSystemFeature(Android.Content.PM.PackageManager.FeatureCamera) == false)
            {
                availale = false;
                Toast.MakeText(this, "No back-facing camera available", ToastLength.Long);
            }

            if (PackageManager.HasSystemFeature(Android.Content.PM.PackageManager.FeatureCameraFlash) == false)
            {
                availale = false;

                Toast.MakeText(this, "No camera flash available", ToastLength.Long);
            }

            return availale;
        }

A: Your app is holding a reference to the camera and never releasing it. when you turn the LED/flash off, dispose of your camera instance so the camera may be used by other apps.
Something like:
private void TurnCameraOn()
{
    if (CameraAvailable())
    {
        camera = camera ?? Camera.Open();
        using (var parameters = camera.GetParameters())
        {
            parameters.FlashMode = Camera.Parameters.FlashModeTorch;
            camera.SetParameters(parameters);
            Android.Graphics.SurfaceTexture mPreviewTexture = new Android.Graphics.SurfaceTexture(0);
            camera.SetPreviewTexture(mPreviewTexture);
            camera.StartPreview();
        }
        cameraFlashLightOnThread = true;
    }
}

private void TurnCameraOff()
{
    if (CameraAvailable())
    {
        camera = camera ?? Camera.Open();
        using (var parameters = camera.GetParameters())
        {
            parameters.FlashMode = Camera.Parameters.FlashModeOff;
            camera.SetParameters(parameters);
            camera.StopPreview();
            camera.Dispose();
            camera = null;
        }
        cameraFlashLightOnThread = false;
    }
}

FYI: Your Toast statements are missing .Show() and thus would never been shown to the user.

Q: Multiple INSERTS in one query I'm having trouble with my sql query. I will like to INSERT some data in first table and then copy ID from last insertion to another table in same query.
I'm pasting code bellow and hopping someone will show me the right way, cuz I'm getting some ";" error.
sqL = "INSERT INTO Narocilo(ID_stranke, datum_sprejema, rok_izdobave, status_narocila, dodal) " + " VALUES('" & txt_idstranke.Text & "','" & Format(datum_sprejem.Value, "d. MM. yyyy") & "','" & Format(datum_izdobava.Value, "d. MM. yyyy") & "','" & txtstatus.Text & "','" & cmb_zaposleni.Text & "'); INSERT into ZadnjiID(zvisaj) SELECT @@IDENTITY FROM Narocilo"

A: Access (JET/ACE) will not allow multiple SQL statements in the one query. You're getting the error because you're putting a second statement after the semicolon.
You need to break down what you're doing. @@IDENTITY will still work, providing you don't kill the connection first. For example:
 Dim conn As OleDb.OleDbConnection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(connstr)
 Dim command As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
 conn.Open()
 command.Connection = conn

 command.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Narocilo(ID_stranke, datum_sprejema, rok_izdobave, status_narocila, dodal) " + " VALUES('" & txt_idstranke.Text & "','" & Format(datum_sprejem.Value, "d. MM. yyyy") & "','" & Format(datum_izdobava.Value, "d. MM. yyyy") & "','" & txtstatus.Text & "','" & cmb_zaposleni.Text & "');"

command.ExecuteNonQuery()
command.CommandText = "SELECT @@Identity"
Dim idd As Integer = command.ExecuteScalar
command.CommandText = "Your second INSERT statement using idd as the id here"
command.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.Close()

@@IDENTITY will only work with Integer typed AutoNumbers in access - not GUIDs.
As a side note, you should really be parameterising your queries to avoid SQL Injection attacks.

A: Use this code.
 sqL = "INSERT INTO Narocilo(ID_stranke, datum_sprejema, rok_izdobave, status_narocila, dodal) " + " VALUES('" & txt_idstranke.Text & "','" & Format(datum_sprejem.Value, "d. MM. yyyy") & "','" & Format(datum_izdobava.Value, "d. MM. yyyy") & "','" & txtstatus.Text & "','" & cmb_zaposleni.Text & "'); INSERT into ZadnjiID(zvisaj); SELECT @@IDENTITY"

This will returns Primary key Autoincrement columns value for current connection.
If this table has Identity column than it will return it value back.
But for that use SqlCommand.ExecuteScaler so that it will return object value and you can use it to another table.
Thank you.

What's Going on with Red Hat Storage? [VIDEO]
Posted on June 14, 2013 By Sean Michael Kerner
BOSTON. One year ago, Red Hat released its first commercial storage product.
In an exclusive video interview with InfoStor at the Red Hat Summit, Rangachari, vice president and general manager, Red Hat Storage, details where his business unit is headed. Red Hat Storage is built on top of Gluster, a company that was acquired by Red Hat in October 2011 for $136 million.
Rangachari stressed that there are multiple elements of the Red Hat Storage business plan, including community, partners and commercial engagements.
On the community side, Gluster has recently made a number of moves to further open up its community. There is now an open advisory board comprised of members from a diverse set of companies, in an effort to make sure it's not just about Red Hat. Overall, Rangachari said the plan is to have the open source Gluster community have the same kind of relationship that the Fedora Linux community has with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In that model, there is a community driven project and a commercial product that is then able to benefit from that community driven innovation.
Red Hat is also working Mirantis and Hortonworks on Project Savanna, which is an effort to enable Hadoop workloads on filesystems other than HDFS. Red Hat is also involved in the effort to get Hadoop to run well inside an OpenStack cloud environment.
Red Hat Storage as a commercial product now also works with Red Hat's OpenStack cloud solution. That support includes object, block and image storage file capabilities. Rangachari noted that there is still work that needs to be done to further improve Red Hat Storage on OpenStack.
Over the last year, Rangachari noted that Red Hat Storage has moved from proof of concept to a lot of customers running it in production environments. To date, Red Hat's direct sales force has been a key driver, though moving forward the plan is to do more work through channels.

Q: It it possible to have private files in a public repository? I plan to release an open-source application on GitHub that includes Actions to build the executables and docker image.
In addition to these Actions, I would like to set one "just for me" (update my own docker container with the new image, as a separate Action). The Action YAML file would be part of the repository, but stay private.
Is this something doable, or are public repositories files all public?

A: A pseudo-answer to keep track of existing information outside of SO:

Hiding specific information in a git repository is not one of the things it's designed for. AFAIK it is also not possible. One approach that might work, though I have never tried this, is to have a public and a private git repo, and have the private repo be a git submodule for the public one. This might be more hassle then it's worth though, and might be confusing at points causing you to put private data in the public repo. So perhaps you should just have tow completely separate repos.

(source: https://superuser.com/a/559978/60006)

No, you cannot have different public/private settings within one
repository.
The closest thing I can think of would be to keep the repositories
separate and use submodules to create a unified directory tree, but I
can't judge if that makes sense for your workflow.

Out of range at Helena Aurora
It must have been more than ten years since I have been here. Back then it was to photograph a couple protesting the planned destruction and removal to an ore crusher of this spectacular and unique range of hills a couple of hours north of Southern Cross.
This time I'm back, finally, to have a closer look at the Helena Aurora Ranges which have, again, escaped the bulldozer and dynamite after a late 2017 Government decision not to grant a mining permit in this Conservation Area.
I won't dwell on the politics other than to say there are moves to make the area into a National Park not just because of the sheer, rugged beauty of the cliffs and gullies which rise out of the sand plains and woodlands, but because they are home to species of flora and fauna found nowhere else in the world.
This is not a place for the faint of heart or limb. I was following my mate, Geo Bob, or I may well have got lost in the myriad of tracks, trails, diversions and dead ends around the base of the range. It is a fair way from anywhere and rarely visited - we saw no one at all on the three days of our stay - although there was weak mobile signal at the top of the Bungalbin Hill, you really do not want to 'come unstuck' out there. Water, hat, tough boots are essential.
A 4WD, too, is highly recommended if you want to get the most out of the trip. Once you leave the bitumen the road, reliable at first, is prone to sporadic potholes and gullies which will defeat low-clearance cars. You might get to the bring-your-own-everything, quiet, level camping area at the base of the ranges in a 2 WD - but you certainly will not get to the top where the most spectacular views and rough walk trails await.
On the lightly-tree'd summit we clambered around outcrops, discovering caves and stunning views, finding signs of past mining explorations. Geo Bob points out a tetratheca plant - the small purple flowers on the spike-like stems appearing to grow straight out of the rock. This is the small plant which almost single-handedly defeated the first attempt to mine the ranges. You will find it nowhere else. From this sentinel rock we survey the scenes below: a rain squall approaching from the West, the clouds allowing a solitary pool of sunlight to fall on the Woodlands below and, next day, the clear skies, haze and distant hills hunkered down on the horizon. All the time we are under the gaze of a wheeling, proprietorial eagle.
I'm not sure if we even scratched the surface of what could be discovered in these ranges in the couple of days we were there - there are tales of rock art and sacred sites - but for the solitude, the views and the experience of treading (carefully) in such a unique, timeless place the journey was well worthwhile. An understated gem in WA's jewel-encrusted crown!
Kookynie , WA - a roundabout tale of a one-horse town...
I'm resisting the temptation to make some observation about Kookynie being a 'one horse town' (it is) only because it has a roundabout. Down the road, Kalgoorlie, with a population nearly 3000 times that of Kookynie boasts a few roundabouts, too, (and several horses) so roundabouts are understandable. In Kookynie (population twelve souls and one horse) it is baffling - and it's very tempting to negotiate it the wrong way round… just because…
We arrived in Kookynie on a still, cool evening disturbed only by the wheeling of a wedge-tailed eagle and the last flittings of the day of numerous little birds in the mulga scrub. Our late arrival, due solely to a mesmerising linger on the red, rocky shores of the still waters of Niagara Dam ten minutes down the road, coincided with that of a train. No - it's not what you think. Only ore and supply trains break their long rumbling roll at Kookynie and then only to change drivers. Trains bringing passengers to Kookynie finished a long time ago, when gold extraction and processing costs rose along with subterranean water tables in a classic case of Sod's Law: in a region forever dogged by scarcity of water, Kookynie's mines were eventually overwhelmed by it.
Kookynie is on the Golden Quest Trail, which is now also the back road to Laverton. It was not always so. A little over 100 years ago, Kookynie sprang from prospectors' camp to a 400-building town in record time. At its peak, the town sported a racecourse, swimming pool, numerous hotels, two newspapers and a brewery. There were several churches, general stores, banks, a hospital, school and a few 'red light houses.' Of course, it was gold which had drawn the population of nearly 2500 population to the place. And it was the lack of gold which emptied it in a scenario so often repeated in the goldfields.
A swift dusk tour of the townsite revealed ruins of classic cars and buildings speckled over the flat, tussocky ground. Faintly illogical in the scene of abandonment is a row of well preserved shop fronts - empty and closed, but ready for … well, something to happen.
We stayed at the Grand Hotel, the last hotel standing in the town. Eighteen foot ceilings, long passageways, an intimate bar and dining room, a beautifully relaxed, outback welcome from owners Kevin and Margaret and one of the best steaks ever; the evening there was delightful. But it was in the early morning light the next day when Kookynie really revealed its quirkiness to me.
The clatter and drub of a cantering horse swept out of the silence of the dawn. As I stood in the road by the pit and bricks of the National Hotel, once deemed the finest building north of Kalgoorlie, I could see nothing against the glare of the rising sun from where the hoof beats were approaching. I had met Willie the Horse the previous night when we spied him being given a bedtime cuddle and a blanket outside the hotel shortly before we were forced to negotiate with ( that is, move) his large bottom blocking the doorway to the hotel so we could get in. I was in little doubt that I was now about to meet the other end of Willie, a former trotter although obviously quite capable of cantering.
I did meet Willie but it was, of course, on his terms. I could almost detect a cartoon brake-squeal as the cantering stopped as suddenly as it started - Willie had realised I was not Kevin. His interest and enthusiasm vanished as did my anticipation of a Lawrence of Arabia moment: witnessing a horse emerge from the impenetrable brightness. Instead it was up to me to go to Willie, who allowed me, briefly, to scratch his forehead before he nonchalantly surveyed his domain and got back to doing what horses do best, eating.
It was intriguing wandering around the area. I did not have to look far to see the signs of big industry long gone: enormous tanks and spoil mounds hiding dilapidated cottages. Significant ruins marked by plaques tell modest tales of the buildings, long dismantled and dispersed for use elsewhere, in true goldfields tradition.
By the pit and bricks of the National Hotel, opposite the shop fronts, a plaque, complete with photograph of the Hotel in its vast grandeur (think a one storey version of the Esplanade Hotel, Fremantle) quotes Queenie Fogerty (née Lynch) recollecting a "dray and horses bringing loads of beer barrels and unloading" and how her "trusty three-wheel trike carried me as far afield as I ever went, on my own anyway."
We climb aboard our four wheels and swing out of town toward the breakaways to the north and Malcolm and Laverton beyond. Willie is still eating, looking up as we pass him, not to look at us, of course, but to survey his estate. It's a wonderful, unusual outcome for a once great town, really: a horse now rules it, visits its pub, treats its visitors with barely concealed disdain. And why not? After all, the gold rush is well and truly over in Kookynie.
Shark Bay, WA
The challenge: Exams over for one child, who now need not attend school, a mood for something different, an escape, a small adventure. All on a budget, of course….
The solution: a few camping supplies chucked in - and on - the car and an easy trip north to Shark Bay leaving behind a mother perplexed at the ease and speed of departure with nothing booked ahead, and some siblings grumpy that their school routine had to continue.
The result: Absolute beach front accommodation, no booking required, guaranteed unique sights and views in an unspoiled, private peaceful part of classic Australian outback… three people, $60…what a deal!
An early evening arrival in Shark Bay , an overnighter at the Monkey Mia Resort campground and the next morning (after the obligatory dolphin experience) we were deflating our tyres by the old homestead in Francois Peron National Park, having paid our entrance and overnighting fees at the honesty box at the Park entrance.
Travelling around the Park is not hard but you do need a 4WD and you do need to let your tyres down if you hope to negotiate the soft sands and pindan dirt of the tracks without resorting to jacks and shovels. Experience driving in these conditions is undoubtedly useful.
We had chosen Herald Bight, on the eastern coast of the peninsular, as our destination. The eastern shore is gentle: sheltered from prevailing winds and ocean, dunes and red pindan cliffs flow down to a mill pond sea, shallow and peaceful. While the peninsular's west coast offers several camping areas and fishing spots, Herald Bight is the only camping area on the eastern shore. It stretches for well over a curved kilometre of soft sand and affords the visitor absolute beach front camping and that unusual phenomenon in Western Australia, a view of a sunrise over sea.
The track from the homestead rolls and winds its way through scrub and around salt pans, at times stretching straight to the shimmering horizon, as every classic Australian outback should. At other times it forces you to creep around sharp corners in case one of several tours operating in the Park is coming the other way.
There are signs of animal life everywhere : along the banks of the track a myriad of prints and patterns left by emus and large and small reptiles and mammals have pocked the sand. Large lizards scuttle out of the way of oncoming vehicles and warning signs tell us to watch out for bilbies, the endangered marsupial now thriving in the Park since the fox and cat population was brought under control. Being nocturnal, bilbies are rarely spotted by day.
The Bight reveals itself as a sudden sweep of placid blue water as we crest a black sand dune 45 kms from the homestead. Soon after, we are setting up camp in a recess in the gentle dunes, a few hundred metres north of the access point. The only people on the beach. Not a sign of humans except an unattended boat trailer and its cargo moored out on the lake-like water. Bizarrely, there is strong mobile phone reception.
The next few days were spent exploring the shoreline by kayak and foot after spectacular dawn starts. Some scuttlings in the dunes at night, the occasional dolphin fin out at sea and the constant company of a mob of watchful seabirds were wonderful interruptions to our day. We pottered out each day to explore our surrounds: the white of the barnacle-covered rocks set against the red cliffs at Cape Peron (the northern tip of the peninsular) were stunning, our visit there made particularly memorable by the sight of a shark swimming close to shore as we walked along the rocky beach. The signs say "Swimming Not Recommended"….
The lighthouse at the Skipjack Point was well worth the visit. From there a stunning view south east over red dunes to clear turquoise waters in a sheltered bay revealed large rays and shoals of fish making their way over the rippled sands of the sea bed. We saw a large kangaroo bound effortlessly down a steep dune toward the sea - and a feral cat making its way more cautiously up the red dune towering over the bay.
Another visit to Big Lagoon, on the western side, was rewarding, too. An easy climb up dunes revealed the size of the lagoon, the vivid colours of its surrounding dunes and flora, its shifting currents, the ocean gently rolling at its entrance. Our big regret there was not bringing the kayak to explore the shores of this spectacular place.
Back on the road again well before we would have liked to, we happily delayed our leaving the World Heritage Area with visits to the the gleamingly pristine Shell Beach and the stromatolites at Hamelin Pool.
Measuring a good break by the detail and number of memorable moments, places Shark Bay beyond excellent. As a getaway destination, superb. Beach front accommodation, unparalleled. And the budget? I'll be there longer next time….
On the Quest for Gold
"It changes you," says Marty Pereira. "It changes your eyes when you find gold."
Having prospected as a past time for many years, Marty was often asked to teach prospecting skills. Now he operates a self-contained ecological, transportable camp set up among the tall, bronze-trunked gimlet trees on his lease in the Great Western Woodlands. The directions are classic 'bush directions' involving gateways at unnamed waypoints and following tracks defined by the most recent tyre marks rather than wide avenues. Nevertheless, we twist and turn our way through the magnificent, glowing trees and arrive at an almost deserted camp: a number of tents, a couple of portable gazebos, a huge caravan, campfire and a colourful bus displaying the name of Marty's Golden Nugget Tour company.
Marty is the only one there. He shows us our tents, in which each has a stretcher and decent mattress. We are supplied, like all his guests, with a brand new sleeping bag to keep. A small torch and an external lantern are there for our use, too.
Marty chucks some leaves on the fire in the 'Bull Pit' (named "because so much bull is talked there" he says) and soon the flames are crackling away on some logs.
As the evening creeps in and the bronzed trunks glitter in the last rays of the day, Marty's guests drift into camp, unsaddling their metal detectors, slotting the batteries into the huge charging bank Marty has set up in the back of his caravan. Some walk in, some chug in in their utes or 4WD. Guests are fed and accommodated for the duration of their stay at Marty's camp. They can prospect where they like on the lease and sometimes wander, legally, further afield with Marty guiding them. Guests get to keep whatever gold they find. Our new companions consist of three farmer friends from the Great Southern, a New South Welshman and a couple from Mandurah.
Two camp ovens are swung into action: one is filled with beef and vegetables, the other has a nonchalant mix of flour, yeast and water mixed and kneaded (plus another secret ingredient) in it. Both ovens end up on the embers of the fire.
As the darkness gathers, more cars turn up. Marty's camp has become the site for quite the corroboree: there's a couple who host a gold prospecting TV programme, a neighbouring leaseholder, another New South Welshman who comes to the Goldfields every winter for some prospecting. He shows me a nugget he found "Oh.. about one and a half kilometres that way." A vague wave of the hand is the best direction I'm going to get. With gold prospecting, I soon learn, it was ever thus…
All the talk under the gibbous moon is of gold, tales of gold, prospectors, the bad things that can happen if you stray off lease. The single, repetitive mantra is "Dig every target". The TV hosts reckon you should dig 150 targets each day for reasonable chance of success. The gold can come in tiny flakes or large nuggets. Previous treasures are displayed: 'good looking' nuggets which have been eroded by slow travel through the soil can be worth three times there weight if suitable for jewellery.
All the time Marty is tending to the ovens, occasionally shovelling embers around the bases or onto the lids to cook the contents just right.
The damper and beef stew are served - and I've got to tell you, it was very, very good: soft bread, meat which fell off the bones and all with a subtle smoky flavour perfectly matched to the setting.
Several of his guests attest to the high standard of Marty's campfire cooking skills, remarking on the delight of a Peri Peri chicken he had concocted previously.
Cars drift away into the night, numbers dwindle: it will be an early start the next day.
"The rule is first one up gets the fire going again" is Marty's good night greeting. "It'll be cold in the morning."
He is, of course, absolutely right. There's a distinct chill which urgent cups of tea and coffee alleviate in front of the reinvigorated flames.
While the other guests saddle up and drive out for another day of optimism, Marty arms us beginners with his high-end metal detectors, shows us how to set them up, tune them in and swing them from the hips, keeping the flat disc close and level to the ground. How to sift and eliminate targets which are not gold, how to zero in on the elusive flecks. We carry small picks with magnets in the butt of the handle to pick up and discard the huge amount of iron and metal that has been dispersed over the ground. Gold, being non-magnetic will be left behind by the magnet to trigger again the detector's demanding shriek…
Tiny fragments of tin, dustings of iron filings, much scratching and scraping, sweeping of magnet and then, then the time the detector keeps yelling after the magnet has done its work. It's in a shoe-box sized heap of dirt I've scraped up, whatever it is. Marty directs the slow elimination process: handfuls of dirt are waved over the detector and cast aside if there is no screeching from the machine.
It squawks on one of my handfuls. I divide and divide again until the detector's squealing is sparked by a small heap of crumbling dirt and powder which would barely fill half an egg cup.
I can see how prospecting ensnares you: you've whittled down the possibilities, chased down this last fragment of something, something which yet may not be gold. Now it's down to the gentle brush of a finger sifting aside the red powder dirt. And there it is. A tiny nugget, undoubtedly gold in colour, about the size of a quarter of my fingernail.
I have found gold.
I'm off into town.
See you Marty, Bye…. I'll shut the gate as I leave.
There are three reasons to stop at the Coolgardie Visitor Centre: first, the Centre is a prime source of up to date information on the condition of the roads on the Golden Quest Trail. I am setting off on the Trail the next day because Coolgardie is a perfect starting point.
The second reason: there is an intriguing pharmacy museum, the beautiful, internationally renowned Waghorn bottle collection plus an intriguing display about the rescue of trapped miner Modesto Varischetti as well as artefacts and photographs from the town's heyday.
The third reason to stop: you may, if you are lucky, meet Vic Dale. He was there in the foyer of the magnificent building when I walked in and, it turned out, knows everything there is to know about Coolgardie in the most intricate detail.
I spent the afternoon with him. Had I not I would never have discovered the school - still teaching Coolgardie kids - built by the Bunning brothers in 1894. And yes: there's a certain popular WA-based hardware store named after them.
Vic told me tales of characters of the day, went into considerable detail about the politics of Coolgardie's heyday, when the clamour from the Goldfields, heavily populated by native eastern-staters, threatened to form its own separate colony. A reluctant State premier was forced to call a referendum on Federation: the Goldfields vote ensured WA joined the rest of the States.
I learned about Coolgardie's reign as capital of the would-be colony, Aurelia, and its decline once Kalgoorlie-Boulder's Golden Mile proved to be so rich and enduring. Many of Coolgardie's buildings succumbed to a fine Goldfields' tradition they were recycled and moved: Merredin's majestic Cummings Theatre and the Tavern at Westonia were both originally located in Coolgardie in its glory days.
The school, railway station, old hospital , morgue, and a few teetering shacks from that time are dotted around the town. They are all worth a visit, if only to admire the style of the solid buildings and fortitude of those early residents. The sights and sites are best located with help from the Golden Quest Trail Guidebook, App or Visitor Centre, itself located in one of the magnificent buildings peppering the main street.
Vic guided me to the still waters of the incongruous Coola Carbi gnamma hole - from which Coolgardie took its name - and recounted how it was enlarged, courtesy of explosives, to retain more water for the burgeoning township, named at that spot by the first warden Finnerty.
Warden Finnerty - one of Western Australia's richer characters - was ordered from Southern Cross where he was Warden of the Yilgarn Goldfield, to live in Coolgardie. His Bunning-built house, originally the administrative seat of the Goldfields, commands a sweeping view from the hill above the gnamma hole. It is now a National trust property, open to the public for a nominal admission charge. Historic and ghost tours are also offered, admission otherwise is self-guided. Do consider a guided tour in order to hear details about the redoubtable Finnerty: as magistrate and administrator of the region he was a large figure, highly regarded for his determination and practical approach to the complications of leases, gold, not averse to administering swift justice to those found behaving badly in the town's streets.
A small distance out of town toward Perth lies the graveyard, the last resting place of hundreds who died of illnesses and infections which rushed through the community. It was said, at one point that half the town was burying the other half. History's sieve filters out wonderful stories in graveyards: Finnerty's wife, Bertha lies there, as does the body of Italian cyclist, 23 year old Leo Beretta killed when the forks on his bike collapsed during an international race held in the town in 1900.
We all but stumbled upon the grave of redoubtable explorer Ernest Giles who, in numerous major expeditions, crossed to the Swan River Colony from the then Darwin-Adelaide Telegraph line, discovered The Olgas, Victoria and Gibson deserts, and mapped out large areas of the inhospitable interior. Pneumonia also took him, his exploring days over, working as a clerk, living with his nephew in Coolgardie.
I returned to Finnerty's house in the dawn to witness, to the east, where the Superpit's spoil heap hunkers down on the horizon, a golden mist hovering over invisible lakes, weaving among the eucalypts and gimlets.
That scene, soon burned away by the day, was the first of many not normally associated with the Goldfields. Let's face it: most of us associate the area with big money, big mines, big machines, high vis-clad workers and skimpies.
Coolgardie and the subsequent journey around the Trail shows a very different side to the Goldfields. In the first few kilometres out of Coolgardie we passed a small lake. An enterprising humorist had placed imaginative art of a Loch Ness monster, a fisherman in a dinghy, a shark and a flamingo. A little later we passed the ruins of Kunanalling and all the time we are making our way through the bronze trunked gimlets of the Great Western Woodlands, now growing strong after their virtual eradication to fuel the gold rush. The humour, the ruined dreams, the resilience: I was realising the pulsing themes which has kept the Goldfields alive for so long in such adversity.
The House on the Hill
You know you are onto a winner when the sign greeting you at the creaking iron gate states:
"NO DOGS (NOT EVEN YOURS)". It is the humour that appeals, rather than the message; that moment when the dog-walking reader of the sign would realise that their mind has been read before they have even thought of bringing Fido into these unique, rarefied gardens.
I've absented myself from a(nother) shopping trip and, having heard about a secluded garden and stunning pergola in north London, I've rumbled up the Northern Line to Hampstead, walked an exhilarating kilometre through crisp, February air, fresh from an overnight frost, and a village that really should not be in London at all. I am now at the gate to Hill House Garden and Pergola.
It must have been a fun thing to do with a few hundred tons of dirt needing a home after excavations for the nearby Tube line. Lord Leverhulme, in 1904, had made enough money from his washing powder business to indulge in some legacy-building. Still there today, open to the public - and not many seem to know about it - a long, branched, raised walkway with seats and lookout points carries visitors high above or through tended gardens, affording views into the woodlands of Hampstead Heath.
It is unmistakably grand. Although the carved wooden beams that support vines, now in winter dormancy, are old and crumbling, the colonnades, the stone, the stairs all exude a statesmanly, if faded, grandeur harking back to the Edwardian era. The peacefulness is enhanced by silence: in the couple of hours I spent wandering this Thomas Mawson-designed creation, the three small groups of people I came across were all whispering- it has that effect. It is so peaceful and undisturbed that, apart from the occasional rumble of a train somewhere in the valley below, it's hard to believe you are in the middle of a metropolis.
The Pergola, finished in 1925, now has an air of opulent glory long passed. Hill House, once Lord Leverhulme's home is enormous. Easily visible from the Pergola, it sits in resplendent grandeur across an immaculate lawn beyond a pond and fountain. It has, I am told, been turned into apartments. Part of a deal in the development meant the Gardens and Pergola are now open to the public.
The walk back to the Tube line in Hampstead is also worth taking slowly. The suburb sits on the edge of Hampstead Heath, the highest point in London as well as being the largest park in the capital. Hampstead is renowned for its genteel ambience. With its beautifully preserved and clean, cared-for buildings, it is home to some of the UKs leading gliterati, celebrities and champagne socialists. Cobbled streets, period townhouses, quaint shops, discreet alleys and stairways are all there for anyone to investigate. I investigate a delicious, simple burger at Spielburgers, but there are a variety of eateries around if you fancy a meal before further exploring the suburb or heading back to catch up with the shopping party.
Iceland: It's not all about the Northern Lights.
Keep an eye out for Icelands churches. Although most are of similar, simple design, their locations and views can be spectacular. Reykjavik's Hallgrimskirkja, soars to the skies, dominating the city below and affording spectacular views from its summit, but it is the little ones which have taken our fancy. Small and discreet, they can appear in locations chosen, it seems to catch the eye: by a harbourside in Akranes where it can survey the fishing fleet, or standing faintly aloof from the rest of the town in Grindavik or on the river bank at Thingvellir, remote from any other habitation except the small row of attendant cottages next to it.
The one that drew me in is the church at Saubaer.
We saw it first as we found our way to our cabin in the snow, a small church lying down by the dark, rippling waters of Hvalforður.
Saubaer Church has been placed away from any immediately visible human habitation. Presumably, like some of our own rural Western Australian churches, it is there as a ´halfway´ spot: a place where everyone can suffer equally to get there.
It is floodlit at night, as if a beacon to a lost local or, perhaps, a whaler returning to the base of the head of the fjord. So, sitting in our hot tub, surrounded by snow - as you should, if in Iceland (and, yes, I was sceptical less about the joys of sinking into hot water, but more about picking my way back over ice and snow on the return journey) - looking for the few strands of gossamer green light which is all we did get to see of Aurora Borealis, we notice a tiny, glorious splash of light on the shoreline.
It must be investigated.
Next afternoon is still: a day of brooding skies and little wind makes for an eerie, silent ambience at the church. A building nearby has a Volvo parked outside. It is, presumably, the caretaker or priest's residence but there are no signs of activity anywhere. Deafening footprints in the crusty, deep snow mark my journey around the church in the dusk. It is an idyllic setting: built on a small mound, the church has 180 degree views of the fjord and the light that shifts and changes off the opposite hillsides.
But as that light failed that afternoon, something else is revealed to me: the gloom must have reached just the right intensity to set off the solar sensors in an unexpected array amongst the sombre grey headstones. Quite suddenly lines of crosses are glowing and glittering in the gloaming. It really is very pretty.
Icelandic traditionalists decorate many gravestones with lights in winter. It does not happen in the summer months - with 24 hour daylight, you would not notice them anyway - but around Christmas time graveyards spring into light in the evening, adding a magical, ethereal feel to a normally sombre place. It is not only a positive way to celebrate a loved one's life but also a small array of welcome lights pinpricked yet defiant in the monochrome of an Icelandic winter dusk.


Mauritian exporters claim to be less affected by trade barriers than many other countries that have participated in the ITC business surveys on non-tariff measures. Among the 400 Mauritian firms surveyed, 27% of exporters were adversely affected by non-tariff measures; 36% of importing firms reported they were affected by non-tariff measures.
The main concern is conformity assessment for the European Union, the largest market for Mauritian exports. In addition, companies reported a disproportionate share of measures related to the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). COMESA countries comprise only 6% of Mauritian agricultural exports, however, they accounted for 29% of company concerns related to non-tariff measures. Among other countries surveyed by ITC that report higher barriers due to non-tariff measures are: Paraguay (69%), Peru (42%), Sri Lanka (70%), and Uruguay (56%).

Nicolas Anelka, Medical Student: I just bought a Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope!
I just bought a Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope!
To properly learn how to diagnose and better understand disease symptoms, medical students are required to purchase a stethoscope. While many of my peers chose to find cheaper alternatives, I decided to buy a high-end stethoscope instead.
After having used the Littmann Cardiology III stethoscope for a few days, I am convinced that I made the best possible decision. While it certainly set me back a few euros, having a reliable and well-performing piece of equipment is well worth the cost.
In the following sections, I'll show you exactly why the Littmann Cardiology III stethoscope was such a great purchase, and why all medical students should consider investing in one.
Whenever I purchase something, I like to know the brand history. I've found that products with reliable, proven histories tend to produce equally solid, proven performance.
Since I already recognized the Littmann name, this part was easy. In fact, there's hardly a medical student out there that wouldn't. Although stethoscopes have been around since the early 18th century, it was Dr. Littmann who created a revolutionary design, defining the function and efficiency of the modern stethoscope.
As a cardiologist, Littmann was in a great position to reinvent the stethoscope. His design brought the medical community the traditional 3M stethoscope, featuring an open chestpiece for identifying lower pitches, a closed chestpiece for filtering low pitches, firm tubing, and a spring to separate each earpiece. Want to know more? Visit their official page.
After years of success and expanding innovation, the Cardiology III stethoscope was born. With it, examinations became quicker, more comfortable, and more accurate.
· Tunable diaphragm: Use light pressure for low-frequency sounds, and increased pressure to hear high-frequency sounds. Top-notch sound quality. In fact, according to Stethoscopes.ninja the Cardiology III has a grade 9/10 accoustic performance!
· Non-chill rim: An essential feature for patient comfort. If you haven't started seeing patients yet, you'll understand how important this is in no time.
· Adjustable headset: This applies to the tension as well as the ear tips, making it easy to find a customizable fit. The gel-like tips provide clear sound, and they're perfect for canceling noise and focusing on breaths.
· Resilient tubing: The next-generation tubing increases the life of the stethoscope, making it resistant to skin oils, alcohol, and staining. For a medical student, that's a great sign. Although the cost is considerably higher, it's a piece of equipment that can last throughout the rest of university and beyond.
As an additional benefit, the stethoscope came with a five-year warranty, which really helped put my mind at ease. It's nice to know that I'll be able to rely on this piece of equipment throughout the next few years.
I've also noticed that the weight of the stethoscope seems perfectly suited for long-term use. It has just enough weight to know that it's there, but not nearly enough to cause neck or shoulder strain.
Even in the first five years of study, one of the most valuable lessons that medical school has taught me is not to cut corners. When it comes to medical equipment, the last thing that you want to do is choose a low-quality option simply because it happens to be cheaper.
Efficient pathology requires equally efficient equipment, and in my opinion, the Littmann Cardiology III stethoscope is second to none. For a high-quality, dependable, and efficient stethoscope, all medical students should consider investing in the Littmann Cardiology III.

Lawmakers Call for Vaccination or Negative Test for Domestic Air Travel
By Bay City News	• Published December 23, 2021 • Updated on December 23, 2021 at 2:37 pm
A group of Democratic lawmakers including Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Eric Swalwell this week wrote a letter calling for a requirement that domestic air passengers show proof of their full COVID-19 vaccination status or a recent negative test.
Feinstein, D-California, and Swalwell, D-Castro Valley, joined Reps. Ritchie Torres, D-New York, and Don Beyer, D-Virginia, in sending the letter to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Steve Dickson.
The four lawmakers noted that both proof of COVID-19 vaccination and a negative test is already required for people coming to the U.S. from a foreign country, but domestic travelers are not even required to show that they have recently tested negative for the virus.
Proof of vaccination or a negative test are also required for domestic travelers flying to Hawaii, otherwise they are required to quarantine after arriving.
"Ensuring the health and safety of air travelers and their destination communities is critical to mitigating the ongoing COVID-19 surge, especially as the virus continues to evolve," they said in the letter.

Last month, the four lawmakers and 32 other members of Congress wrote a letter to President Joe Biden also calling for a vaccination and negative test requirement.
Feinstein has also introduced a bill that would require airlines to confirm that their passengers are full vaccinated, have tested negative or are fully recovered from the virus.
On Monday, Swalwell said in a Twitter post that it is "one-hundred percent batty" that unvaccinated people have carte blanche to fly domestic.
"It's unsafe in the cabin and we are transporting the virus," Swalwell said. "Requiring the vaccine to fly is the LEAST we can do to stop the spread."
A mid-November Harris Poll survey of roughly 2,000 U.S. adults found that 66 percent were in favor of airlines requiring proof of vaccination to board a domestic flight.
Last month, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg suggested in an interview with NBC's Meet the Press that such a mandate was not imminent and that current measures like mask requirements when flying and in airports and vaccine requirements for those in the travel industry were enough to keep passengers safe.
"What we're doing right now is working to make air travel safe," he said. "It's a little bit of a different picture, of course, when you have international travel because different countries have different standards ... but between the masking and the other mitigations, we're very confident in the safety of air travel."

Q: Communication between browser and java component I am currently working on a point of sale application.
we have a existing system based on java which uses javapos to integrate with the devices (such as receipt printer, cash drawer , MSR etc).
now we are trying to port the java based thick client to service enable , so it is set to become a web app backed by html5 and spring webservice
my problem is to integrate the devices to the web ie browser so that the cashier can access the point of sale application from the browser  .
how do i integrate the devices to the web app now. one option i have is deploying a java component in the register and make it communicate it to browser via websocket.
browser<-> websocket <-> java device component in local system
Is there any better way to do this? i need the technology which enable me to do the same.
i have considered the applet as well but the problem is the local java component  is kinda huge and it will have different device drivers for each system.

A: JavaFX offers a pretty decent web browser component, that allows easy communication between the Javascript code that runs in the page and the Java code outside. You could port your application so that:

*

*It uses JavaFX, openning a window with just a browser component and pointing it to your web application

*Implement the web app as normal - it will display in the browser component

*Move the device-specific Java code in the JavaFX app, expose its methods to the browser; now the Javascript code will call Java and (hopefully) you will be able to reuse most of your existing code, excluding UI code of course

A "Hybrid" JavaFX/HTML application example is iBreed (it is a framework that you can use actually).

A: I think you can make it work, but you will need one more piece of software.

*

*Webserver (hosting the HTML-files and API)

*Client PC (runnning the HTML-frontend in a browser) woth conected devices

*new service running on the client PC, with a Web-API for the connected devices

I think, this is exactly the same approach as you mentioned with websockets. (Ony for older browser).
Take a look at atmosphere. This may help you to get the websocket stuff done:

The jail, formally known as the Central Detention Facility (CDF), homes about 1,500 detainees, roughly 1,000 of whom have native felony circumstances in D.C. Superior Courtroom. Many of the others are charged in federal circumstances, and, whereas they're being held within the city-run CDF, they're formally within the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.

A rapid test gives a result within about 10 minutes. But sometimes the test doesn't show strep even when it is present. A culture takes one or two days but is better at finding all cases of strep.
If the rapid strep test is positive and says that you do have strep, there's no need to do the throat culture.
You are contagious while you still have symptoms. Most people stop being contagious 24 hours after they start antibiotics. If you don't take antibiotics, you may be contagious for 2 to 3 weeks, even if your symptoms go away.

Another Victim of the Peace Prize Winner
"To all those now hailing the re-election of Barack Obama as a triumph of decent, humane, liberal values over the oozing-postule perfidy of the Republicans, a simple question:
Is this child dead enough for you?
This little boy was named Naeemullah. He was in his house — maybe playing, maybe sleeping, maybe having a meal — when an American drone missile was fired into the residential area where he lived and blew up the house next door.
"As we all know, these drone missiles are, like the president who wields them, super-smart, a triumph of technology and technocratic expertise. We know, for the president and his aides have repeatedly told us, that these weapons — launched only after careful consultation of the just-war strictures of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas — strike nothing but their intended targets and kill no one but "bad guys." Indeed, the president's top aides have testified under oath that not a single innocent person has been among the thousands of Pakistani civilians — that is, civilians of a sovereign nation that is not at war with the United States — who have been killed by the drone missile campaign of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.
Yet somehow, by some miracle, the missile that roared into the residential area where Naeemullah lived did not confine itself neatly to the house it struck. Somehow, inexplicably, the hunk of metal and wire and computer processors failed — in this one instance — to look into the souls of all the people in the village and ascertain, by magic, which ones were "bad guys" and then kill only them. Somehow — perhaps the missile had been infected with Romney cooties? — this supercharged hunk of high explosives simply, well, exploded with tremendous destructive power when it struck the residential area, blowing the neighborhood to smithereens."
