The Hotel Forum has a wonderful rooftop restaurant where they serve breakfast every morning. Getting to sip at a cappuccino while staring out over this gorgeous city made waking up early well worth it. Their breakfast was pretty standard, consisting of fruits, cured meats and pastries as well as the tiny boxes of cereal more for the travelers from the US.
Finally dragging myself away from the view, we got ready back in our room and then wandered down a couple blocks to catch the hop on hop off bus. The double-decker bus will take you around the city and has multiple different stops near most of the best sights so you can get off and wander around for a bit. They're very reliable and run at something like every 15 minutes or half hour, so when you're done sight seeing, you find your way back to the bus stop and hop on until you get to the next one you want to check out, or if you're not feeling like walking around just stay on the bus and enjoy riding around the city for however long you want. The passes are usually good for three days but you can get them for different time frames I'm sure.
TIP: Almost all major cities in Europe have some kind of hop on hop off bus so look around. They're usually pretty inexpensive and make for a fun way to get around and see the sights!
We only had four days in Rome so we had taken the Vatican off of our list of things to see. We knew that with so much to see and the lines to get in to see all of it that we'd end up wasting most of a day just in that one spot. We hadn't counted on the hop on hop off bus tickets to fall into our lap though. We decided to stop off and check out St. Peters square and look around at least. The lines stretched almost all the way around the square with people waiting to see the splendors inside.
TIP: I didn't know this at the time but for a bit extra you can usually get a city pass that will help get you past the long waiting lines at a lot of attractions.
From here we wanted to get back across the river and make our way to the Spanish steps and then pick up our bus again after. We ended up looking at our map wrong and wandered in a different direction than we had planned. This added about a half mile onto our walk but it let us see quieter much less tourist parts of this amazing city.
It began raining quite heavily so we ducked into a restaurant to grab some lunch while we hoped the rain would pass a bit. the tiny hole in the wall place had some magnificent food, which seems to be common in Rome. after a half an hour or so the rain began to die down.
We continued on our way and finally got to the Spanish steps. Even with the rain the place was packed. I found a place on the stairs to people watch while my wife made her way to the top to take pictures.
I'm somewhere down in that crowd.
After she fended off another merchant trying to sell her half dead roses we walked back a block or so and waited for the bus to come by. We decided to ride around for an hour or so and just take in the city that way for a bit before hopping off back at the main stop that we had started at and picking up a different bus tour that the tickets also covered.
This one was more archaeology based and took us to the outskirts of the city and showed us the catacombs that line the Appian way, the oldest street leading out of Rome. We happened to catch the last run of the day so we didn't get to hop off anywhere along the way. Once back at the original stop which is a block or two away from our hotel we made our way back to our room to rest for a bit before going out to dinner. After another excellent dinner we found ourselves back the cafe with our new friend Mimo who made us feel like old time regulars within an hour of being there. He fed us cappuccinos and lively conversation deep into the night. Around 3 am we wandered back to our hotel and passed out knowing that we would be up again in a few hours to do it all over again starting with the amazing rooftop breakfast.
Again it started with a breathtaking view of the city that never got old while sipping cappuccino and eating fresh fruits and cured meat at the rooftop restaurant at the Hotel Forum. We sat and planned out what we wanted to accomplish on our third day in Rome. By now we were sore and tired constantly. We were a bit out of shape but still walking between 3-5 miles a day and it was taking it's toll. We were still in a good mood though.
We wanted to get to see some of the amazing churches that are scattered throughout the city. The lines at the Vatican were too long for our tastes but there were plenty of churches that were just as interesting with no lines at all and some of them were just down the street from us, although I didn't know that at the time.
We started at the furthest of four from our hotel figuring that we'd work our way back slowly toward the hotel. It was the gorgeous Basilica de san Giovanni in Laterano which is the most popular church attended by every day people in Rome.
It is said to have the steps that led to Pontius Pilates' home inside it so religious travelers often climb the stairs on their knees while saying prayers. They also used the doors from the old Roman senate as well, which as you can see are just massive and have stood up incredibly well after all these centuries.
the inside of this magnificent church is filled with awe inspiring pieces of artwork everywhere you look. I could have easily spent most of a day just wandering around in here looking at all of it and not one piece of it is behind glass.
From there we wandered down the street toward the Colosseum and found a small cafe for an afternoon al fresco lunch before heading onto our next church. It was a simple meal but filling and the people watching out on the terrace was well worth it.
After lunch we strolled down to another, smaller church the Basilica di San Clemente. It is an ancient church with a beautiful painted ceiling. We were asked not to take an pictures inside so we respected their wishes, thusly I have nothing to show you how wonderful and different this old church is compared to the grandeur of Di Giovanni. It had a much older and rustic feel to it and was considerably smaller but just as spectacular in its own way. The celing is painted gold and there are mosaics everywhere.
Tip: when they ask you not to take photos please be respectful and don't. We saw many people inside the church taking pictures and you could hear the frustration from the guides and people working there. Don't be rude and disrespectful to the people that are being nice enough to show you around it just looks poorly on all travelers.
From there we walked back past the Colosseum and up by the Domus Aurea which was closed for renovation at the time sadly. We enjoyed the park outside of it for a bit and did some people watching as the early afternoon passed by. We decided to explore a little bit and take a different route that we knew would bring us back to the general area that we wanted to be in but not the exact location. This led us to find an unexpected treasure in the church of San Pietro in Vicolli.
It hadn't been on our original list to visit but we stumbled upon it and it had to be my favorite church that we saw by far. Inside it had a much darker, gothic feel to it with skulls and skeletons worked into some of the designs which were both beautiful and slightly terrifying.
By far the most amazing part of this small church on a hillside is the statue of Moses by Michelangelo sitting right out for all to see only kept separate by a single velvet rope.
The slightly larger than life statue was mesmerizing to me and I took in every detail as all the noise from other visitors faded off into the background. I studied it intensely for a bit. I had never been this close to such a historic piece of artwork that didn't have bulletproof glass around it and here in Rome it seemed almost commonplace to share space with such immense beauty.
The other visitors crowded around in front of the statue trying to get a picture of the complete piece which includes busts of other faces and patrons off to the side of Moses but after taking a look at the rest of the piece I quickly noticed that only the statue of Moses itself had actually been done by the master. The other pieces were clearly done by his apprentices, at least it was clear to me. This is why I only got photos of the statue itself instead of the whole piece. On a quick little side note, my wife got a good laugh when she discovered I was right. She was leafing through a book in the gift shop a little later and read that the rest of the work was indeed done by Michelangelo's apprentices and not him.
From there we walked down some incredibly old steps and back onto Via Cavour which was the main street near our hotel. I had no idea our walking trip would bring us back as close as it did to where we started but it was a happy little surprise. We made one more stop at a tiny church down the street from our hotel and got to see the tail end of a mass being held which was the perfect cap to a day spent in churches.
It was simple, beautiful and had a wonderful feeling of spirituality on the inside and this is coming from a devout agnostic of over 20 years.
We waited until the mass was over before we left and continued happily along our way. The tiny side street this church was on was the same as our hotel a couple blocks away. We stopped by our room to freshen up.
We like to have one night where we splurge when we travel and tonight was that night. We dined at a very posh restaurant on via Cavour called Cavour 313. We got a quiet table in the back and enjoyed some amazing food. It was my first time trying beef carpaccio and the best I've had since. Even here in a high end restaurant though the street merchants will still find you. A young man wandered in and insistently tried to sell people half dead roses until management finally told him to leave.
The evening ended at the Cafe where we were quickly becoming regulars and my friend Mimo again plied me with copious amounts of cappuccinos.
After three or four hours relaxing and laughing with Mimo, Erina and other patrons we made our way back to our hotel where we collapsed and slept hard until the morning.

Q: MySQL query that returns only the "common" columns for a group of rows (and PHP if needed) I need to build a MySQL query that returns only the common columns for a group of rows. I've a table named projects that has id_country, id_auto, id_prov and id_pobl. I select a group of projects by an area with this query:
SELECT DISTINCT codpais, codauto, codprov, codpobl
FROM projects
WHERE area=1

This returns me:
id_country | id_auto | id_prov | id_pobl
155        | 1       | 4       | 31
155        | 1       | 4       | 10
155        | 1       | 4       | 25

But from the query above I only want the results that are equal on each row: id_country, id_auto and id_prov. One option will be return id_pobl as NULL if is not same result. If id_auto, id_prov or id_pobl is not the same on each result I don't needed. If the id_country is different, I needed it anyway.
I explain this because my English is not good so you can understand me. In my website I need to print the common country / province / city... of a group of projects. For example, if 155=Spain, 1=Comunidad de Madrid, 4=Madrid and 31, 10 and 25 are cities of the province of Madrid I only need to show (in the website): Spain / Comunidad de Madrid / Madrid. If only id_country and id_auto are the same on each row, I will show: Spain / Comunidad de Madrid. If each id_country is different, I'll show the countries separated by comas, like: Spain, Portugal, France...
Well I'm saying the names but I need the ids and later I'll do the JOIN/LEFT JOIN
Update, example:
I have a group of 5 projects that every project has a id_country, id_auto, id_prov and id_pobl. When I have to show it in PHP, I've to show the common country, auto, prov and pobl.
If the country, auto, prov and pobl are the same in every project I'll need to show in the HTML rendered page with PHP:
Country / Auto / Prov / Pobl

If the country, auto and prov are the same in every project but pobl is different, I need to show:
Country / Auto / Prov

If the country and auto are the same but prov and pobl are different, I need to show:
Country / Auto

If the country are different in every project, I need to show the list of countries:
Country 1, Country 2, Country 3...

Wish that now is more clear!
Thank you in advance!

A: I think what you want is a grouped query. Something like:
SELECT codpais, codauto, codprov, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT codpobl) AS pobl
FROM projects
WHERE area=1
GROUP BY codpais, codauto, codprov

One of the (many) things that I love about knitting is the opportunities for fanciful projects. My mother has been an absolute saint for, well, my entire life... but never so much as the last few months. I decided to knit her up something small in gratitude.
I went by my LYS, and they were having a trunk show of Cinnamons Dye Pot hand-painted yarn, including a large selection of their Shimmer yarn (scroll down). It's a beautiful, slinky yarn -- and knowing that my mother shares my love of all things whimsical, I grabbed two skeins in a pretty liac and blue blend. I did a moss stitch on size 13 needles -- I cast on 15 stitches and just knit until I ran out of yarn.

Guadalajara (Mexico), .- The city of Guadalajara, in the western Mexican state of Jalisco broke this Sunday the Guinness Record to the largest tasting of tequila in the world by bringing together 1,486 people who tasted the Mexican drink at the same time.
Natalia Ramírez, official adjudicator of the Guinness Record organization said that although there were 60 people who did not complete the tasting – and therefore were not counted – the tapatíos did achieve the mark and obtained this recognition.
Francisco Javier Soltero, vice president of the tequila industry, said that tequila is Jalisco's gift to the world and this record represents Mexicanness.
With this act, which took place in the background Guadalajara Cathedral and the Degollado Theater, the inhabitants of this important city collapsed the mark achieved just a day earlier in the state Quintana Roo (southeast of Mexico) that brought together 1,448 people making the tasting
The participants began to arrive at the Plaza Liberación, in the heart of the city, when the sun was falling and they had to wait a little over an hour, because the organizers could not complete the minimum number of attendees.
Guided by master taster Jaime Villalobos, the attendees made use of their sight, smell and mouth to taste this beverage extracted from the Mexican agave plant.
With patience, they knew the characteristics of smell and flavor of three types of tequila: white, reposado and añejo.
And they ingested it from the special glasses that were prepared next to some cookies and natural water, which served to neutralize the taste buds.
As if it were an outdoor party, the tasters applauded and shouted when they finished tasting each cup.
And after 15 seconds of enjoying the drink, they shouted a loud "cheers!"
With joy and singing the well-known song of "Cielito Lindo", the attendees celebrated this community achievement.
"We made it, we made it!" The attendees shouted as they waved their colored handkerchiefs and raised their glasses.
The music of the mariachi ended this record that endorses Jalisco as the birthplace of tequila. (EFE)

A very popular spot fat reduction treatment. Works especially well for active individuals who are try to lose inches of those stubborn fatty areas. It's completely pain free and only takes 25 minutes. And best of all, it's a fraction of the price of the surgical alternatives!! We treat larger body areas within the shortest possible time span. Result, we take up less up of your time, and give you more for your money!
The contents of the fat cells (Fatty Acids, Triglycerides and water) spill out from the broken cell membranes and are released into the interstitial space. This mechanism of action is not "liquefaction of fat", it is the instant emptying out of the cells rather than the destruction of them. (referred to as Lipolysis).
The intra-cellular fat causes the cell to lose its round shape by changing the permeability of the cell membrane. This does not affect the neighbouring structures such as skin, blood vessels, and peripheral nerves.
You must undertake some form of (preferably cardio vascular) exercise to raise your heart rate, therefore increase your metabolic rate. Your body will use the fuel available in your blood stream, which includes the Fatty Acids and Triglycerides released by the Laser Lipo treatments. Once the "fuel" in the bloodstream has been used up, your Liver will begin to target the remaining fat deposits (starting with those most easily broken down - the treated areas) for further "fuel".
We cover Scotland's Central Belt, and offer individual treatments, multiple treatment packages, gift vouchers and operate a referral scheme.

Trump hits back hard against the Massachusetts prosecutors trying to keep ICE out of courtrooms
"These are people that probably don't mind crime, they don't mind what's going on."
Alex Wroblewski/Bloomberg via Getty Images
In a recent radio interview, President Donald Trump criticized prosecutors in Massachusetts who are trying to keep the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from doing their jobs and arresting illegal immigrants in Bay State courtrooms.
"It's a sad situation and very unfortunate for Massachusetts," the president said of the current debate over the enforcement of federal immigration law in the state.
Earlier this week, two Massachusetts district attorneys filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to keep federal immigration authorities from pursuing illegal immigrants by patrolling and conducting arrests at courthouses, "including courtrooms, hallways, clerk's offices, parking lots and front steps," the complaint alleges.
"It would be my honor" to face arrest for shielding illegal immigrants from ICE, Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins said Monday.
"These are people that probably don't mind crime, they don't mind what's going on," Trump said of the prosecutors after calling into Boston Herald Radio's "The Adriana Cohen Show" on Wednesday afternoon.
"So for her to be saying that — she's got to live with it, she's got to live with her own conscience," Trump said of Rollins' statement during the interview.
"You look at MS-13, they say in the world there's nothing more evil," Trump continued. "These are some very, very bad people. To try and protect them, I don't think so.
"What [MS-13 members have] done to young girls, what they've done to women, what they've done to others, is just horrible," Trump added.
On the same day that Rollins announced her lawsuit alongside Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan, ICE arrested two illegal alien gang members at courthouses within her Suffolk County jurisdiction. One of those arrested is a known MS-13 member.
Last week, federal authorities at the Department of Justice hit Newton District Court Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph and court officer Wesley MacGregor with multiple obstruction of justice charges for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant escape from ICE detention by sneaking him out the basement door of a court building last May.
During Wednesday's radio interview, President Trump went on to praise federal immigration authorities and tout the job they've been doing to secure the southern border and the United States interior.
"It isn't an easy job. ICE — these are heroes, these are really heroes," Trump told the show's hosts. "They're doing the job nobody wants to do."
The full radio interview is available below.


If football is a game you love, then you've come to the right place. There are always different techniques you can learn in order to become a better and stronger player. Continue reading for some excellent advice that will significantly help improve your skills.
Don't head for the goal, unless you think you can truly make something of it. If there isn't an open field, locate a teammate in a better position. Get the ball to them instead of taking a risk.
It might seem obvious, but keeping your eyes on the ball is a must. This game is lightning fast, and the ball can get passed from one player to another in a blink of an eye. If you're having problems picking up the ball, you run the risk of your opponent scoring a goal.
Learn how to do a simple beginner Outside Elastico. This trick can help you cut inside when you're on the flanks. You will need something to represent your opponent's position like a cone. Take 5 steps away from the cone. Start dribbling in that direction. As you approach the cone, touch the ball outside then return your foot to the inside of the ball quickly. The outside touch will trick your opponents. The second touch should be harder than the first.
Distance running during the off season is great for football training. Football players run an average of eight miles over the course of a game. By completing lots of distance runs, your stamina will grow, making you a much better player during games.
Practice these set kicks to improve your chances for scoring during a penalty shot. You can use this to train yourself to concentrate on making the penalty kick after a foul. Try a few different kicks to use for penalty kicks and then keep practicing for the time when you need them.
While individual goals are important when playing football, always remember the goals of the team. Football depends on the entire team for success, so team goals must be more important than your own.
For a team to succeed in football there must be excellent communication between its players. This is the most powerful weapon you will have against your opponent. When you find an open spot, communicate it to the man with the ball. It is important that everyone on the team understands what different plays are when called out on the field. You should for instance say "through" to let other players know you are trying to get past two defenders.
Becoming a great football player includes knowledge, skills and practice. Hopefully, the information you have learned here will help you to develop into a stronger player. Continued learning will help you stay on top of the game and outsmart your competition.

MorganJ signed with Spinnin Records for the official remix of "Power" for Hardwell and KSHMR!
In the first months of 2019 he released his single called "Heartbeat" featured with the famous Australian singer Cyrus (X-Factor winner), an official remix for the Brazilian DJ duo Cat Dealers and a club track called "Kurt Cobain" on Sony Music Brazil.


The Orioles will honor late icon Frank Robinson during Grapefruit League play and will continue to do so throughout the season, with a patch on the sleeves of their uniforms. The patch features Robinson's No. 20 in orange against a black background.
Pitch clocks are set to make their Spring Training debuts this week, and it will be in games featuring hordes of players for whom playing on a timer is nothing new.
Taking reps behind Chris Davis at first base, Orioles prospect Ryan Mountcastle became the most high-profile participant yet in the club's grand spring experiment.

In holding their first full-squad workout on Monday, the Orioles ushered in the first official phase of a spring set to surprise. Fresh faces flood Ed Smith Stadium. Questions litter the roster. Battles abound at nearly every position.
The Orioles began a long-overdue rebuild in July, when the club dealt many of its more-valued big assets in exchange for prospects.
Steve Wilkerson enters Orioles camp competing for a super-utility role after a brief big league cameo last year. He isn't traveling light, as Wilkerson has 10 gloves on display.
The Orioles' cloudy infield picture gained some clarity Saturday when the team signed veteran shortstop Alcides Escobar to a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training.
A lot has to go right for Yusniel Diaz to crack the Orioles' Opening Day roster. But the Orioles' No.1 prospect per MLB Pipeline isn't letting that impede his plans to compete for a spot anyway.
Everyone hopes for health this early in spring. But few more than Nate Karns, who has trudged a longer road back than any player in Orioles camp.
Around the horn: Will Sisco be the starting C?
It may take the Orioles a little longer than expected to sift through their crowded catching situation. A club source confirmed that catcher Jesus Sucre is held up by visa issues in his native Venezuela and will report to camp late.
Since the Rays debuted "the opener" last May, no fewer than eight teams have helped transform the concept from a fad into a mini-movement. Consider the Orioles a candidate to dive in next.
Here's an early look at how the Orioles' 25-man roster could shape up on Opening Day.
The Orioles' restocked farm system might inject some excitement into the club's retooled roster.
In outlining their plans to rebuild the Orioles following the least successful season in franchise history, new club officials routinely point to experience: They just did the same thing elsewhere.
To those of a certain age, Frank Robinson was the definition of greatness, leadership and toughness. Well into his 70's and 80's, he carried himself with the confidence and unmistakable gait of a great athlete.

Stories in Massachusetts
Diving Deep on Oyster Aquaculture and Restoration
To safeguard the health of coastal environments, TNC is both restoring natural shellfish reefs and working directly with shellfish farmers.
| Last updated November 08, 2022
Estuaries—the transition zone where fresh water meets salt water—are incredibly valuable to people and nature for their environmental, economic and cultural benefits. These coastal habitats are one of the most imperiled marine habitats on the planet, under increasing stress from climate change, pollution and land use practices.
Shellfish, especially reef-forming species like oysters, play a critical role in the function of estuaries, improving water quality, providing habitat, and in some cases protecting the shoreline. More shellfish in the water means healthier estuaries. In New England, shellfish reefs are largely gone, leading to degraded estuaries.
Supporting Ocean Health
Restorative Aquaculture for Nature and Communities
To address the problems facing these coastal environments, The Nature Conservancy is working on both restoring natural shellfish reefs and directly with shellfish farmers on their practices.
Farming shellfish (or seaweed or finfish) in the water is known as aquaculture. In Massachusetts, the oyster farming industry is an important part of the coastal economy, and if done right, can improve the condition of estuaries.
"We are working on both habitat restoration and sustainable commercial shellfish farming, because we think that both can provide similar and complementary benefits," says Steve Kirk, coastal programs manager for TNC in Massachusetts.

Restoring Oyster Reefs
TNC has been a leader in shellfish restoration efforts in Massachusetts over the years. We have built several oyster reefs in Buzzards Bay, in the towns of Bourne and Fairhaven, as a natural solution for strengthening this critical ecosystem.
As filter feeders, shellfish clean the waters in which they live. They eat by pumping large volumes of water through their body, removing algae and nutrients. Adult oysters can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day—a bit more than a bathtub's worth of water. And just as humans enjoy them as food, they are food for small fish and other species.
The reefs formed by shellfish provide habitat for other species, as well as protection for the coast from erosion and storm surges. Maintaining estuaries is critical as we continue to experience more frequent and severe storms.

A Sustainable Food Source
Food production can be a threat to environments, but TNC is working to improve practices throughout the food sector, from agriculture to seafood farming and harvesting. Around the world, three billion people rely on seafood as a primary protein source. Aquaculture can be an efficient way of growing food compared to terrestrial agriculture, though as a sector, it has had a checkered environmental track record.
Growing Globally
How Investors Can Turn the Tide on Aquaculture
Since it is the fastest growing form of food production on the planet, TNC is working in partnership with shellfish farmers to ensure that aquaculture development is done as sustainably as possible to minimize negative impacts and maximize social, economic and environmental benefits.
Aquaculture is an important local industry in Massachusetts, especially when it comes to sustainably restoring oyster farms and populations. Farmed oysters are the third-highest value seafood product in the state, behind sea scallops and lobsters. Up and down the Bay State's coast, family-run shellfish farms—with roughly 1,200 acres between them—supply sought-after oysters for raw bars, restaurants and kitchens, locally and throughout the country.
Sustainable Seafood in Massachusetts When done in the right ways and the right places, shellfish aquaculture can provide sustainable seafood while accelerating the pace of ecosystem recovery.

Diving Underwater for Aquaculture Research
In Massachusetts, TNC has embarked on a research collaboration with Cotuit Oyster Company, Island Creek Oysters, Northeastern University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Northeast Fisheries Science Center to quantify the environmental benefits oyster farming can provide.
In the summers of 2019 and 2020, underwater cameras were deployed by researchers at oyster farms in Cotuit and Duxbury, to capture underwater video of the farming gear being used. The video is being analyzed by our research team to determine how other marine species, like fish and crustaceans, may be benefiting from the oyster farms. The goal is to gather three years of this data, to provide a year over year comparison for analysis in a peer-reviewed paper.
"Fisheries managers and the regulating community need robust scientific data to inform their decisions about siting new or expanding aquaculture farms," says Kirk. "This research will hopefully provide that data and ensure expansion of aquaculture is done sustainably."
Building on a research program that has been in place in Connecticut since 2017, the collaboration will provide a broad regional picture of potential aquaculture infrastructure benefits.
"We've heard from oyster growers for many years that they see lots of fish swimming in and around their gear," says NOAA Milford Lab researcher Julie Rose. "It's very exciting to have research projects in multiple states collecting scientific data to investigate these reports."
Thus far, preliminary evaluation of the data from the first two summers of sampling in Massachusetts shows underwater animals gathering in and around the farming gear. A good number of juvenile fish across a variety of species have been captured on video at Cotuit Oyster Company's farm, indication of the potential value the gear holds for enhancing the fish population.
More data is needed to determine whether fish are simply attracted to the gear or whether more fish are surviving into adulthood because of it. Findings from the study will be shared with shellfish farmers, natural resource managers and the general public to support sustainable seafood production going forward.
The collaboration also includes a social science research component focused on better understanding what drives coastal communities' perceptions of aquaculture, in particular, the different growing methods. There is a high degree of disparity when it comes to public support for the expansion of aquaculture in Massachusetts and the U.S. more broadly.
This research effort aims to parse out what drives community members' differences of opinion about aquaculture. Surveys have been sent out to coastal residents in the state and across the Northeast. Data will be analyzed and communicated to the aquaculture industry, resource managers and the general population.

Local Collaboration
TNC's commitment goes beyond state lines, supporting restorative oyster aquaculture from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast of the United States, and around the world. In Massachusetts, TNC collaborates with the Massachusetts Aquaculture Association and the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen's Alliance on the Massachusetts Shellfish Initiative.
The initiative aims to maximize the environmental, economic and social benefits of shellfish resources in the state. TNC was instrumental in the development of this process, which resulted in a holistic statewide strategic plan and recommendations on how the state can balance growing and competing demands for shellfish resources.
Resource management is already difficult, and is only complicated further in the face of climate change and other emerging challenges, not to mention adding a global pandemic to the mix. Working together will only strengthen efforts.

Supporting Oyster Aquaculture and Restoration Through the Pandemic
The oyster industry in Massachusetts has been growing fast, doubling in size every five years. It landed about $30 million worth of oysters in 2019. But in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the industry hard. Between March and October that year, oyster sales in Massachusetts dropped by 50 percent compared with the same time frame the previous year.

TNC's existing partnerships with oyster farmers uniquely position us to support those impacted by the pandemic. To help address some of the problem, TNC is partnering with the Pew Charitable Trusts and launched an innovative program—Supporting Oyster Aquaculture and Restoration (SOAR)—in late 2020 in coastal states in the eastern U.S. and Washington state.
With our partners, TNC is purchasing surplus oysters from growers who are seeing a greatly reduced demand from restaurants and distributors, and placing them on nearby oyster restoration projects. This way, growers get much-needed economic relief and one of our ocean's most imperiled ecosystems gets a boost.
Helping Oyster Growers Impacted by COVID-19 TNC is helping struggling oyster farmers impacted by COVID-19 and the economic downturn by purchasing surplus oysters and using them in nearby oyster restoration projects. In Massachusetts, TNC purchased about $80,000 worth of oysters—more than 175,000 oysters—from eight oyster farmers in fall 2020.

Support for Massachusetts Oyster Growers
For many oyster growers in Massachusetts, much of their business disappeared overnight in mid-March when restaurants across the United States shut down. It's estimated that more than 10 million oysters in the state weren't sold in 2020 because of the pandemic.
"We're looking at a $50,000 loss this year. We went from selling 5,000 oysters a week to nothing," says Bruce Silverbrand, an oyster farmer and owner of Buttermilk Bay Oysters in Bourne, Massachusetts. That's a big impact for small businesses like his. "We are tied at the hip to the restaurant business. No restaurants, no oysters."
Guy Rossi, manager at Taylor Cultured Seafood in Fairhaven, says that his business will fall short on sales this year by nearly half a million oysters. "In our industry, we have to keep these oysters moving," he says, describing the unique difficulty growers face because of their process. "For us, it really hasn't changed except we don't have any place to sell them. We've had to look outside the box for solutions."
Without buyers, these farmers' oysters sit in their cages and keep growing, taking up valuable space needed for planting new oysters. Additionally, larger oysters are unsellable—restaurants aren't interested in buying oysters larger than about three-and-a-half inches.
That's where the SOAR program comes in—repurposing these larger oysters for reef restoration. By keeping the oysters in the water, they continue filtering water, improving water quality and providing habitat and food for fish and other species.
"We need shellfish farmers' businesses to survive through the pandemic because their farms can improve the conditions of surrounding coastal waters," says Steve Kirk. "We hope this program will be a win-win: benefitting the environment and providing economic relief for farmers."
In Massachusetts, TNC purchased about $80,000 worth of oysters—more than 175,000 oysters—from eight oyster farmers throughout the fall of 2020. There are plans to continue the program into 2021.
Tens of thousands of oysters have now been distributed across two restoration sites in Fairhaven and Bourne. In 2021, TNC will revisit the sites and evaluate whether the reefs are sustaining themselves and how the oysters are impacting the environment.

In the frame of research conducted in the year 2003 on masting of spruce in the Białowieża Forest, spruce cones were collected from trees differentiated with regard to their age as well as growing sites located in deciduous and coniferous forest. The collection of cones was conducted in managed forests of the Białowieża Forest District. Before taking out seeds, the cones were divided into 5 sectors: cone base (p), zone over cone base (np), cone cen¬tral part (s), zone below cone-top (pw) and cone-top (w). This allowed evaluation of the size and shape of scales contained by cones. The results showed that the biggest cones were formed by spruces 60– 80 years old which were growing on deciduous sites. The longest scales were situated in the cone central part, and the widest were found in the zone over cone base. Differentiated size of cones and scales, situated in distinguished cone zones, can influence the speed of scale opening and the sequence of seed releasing. This can be applied in the process of harvesting of high quality seeds – necessary for the production of seedlings with the use of modern nursery technologies.

Q: Get some information from HEVC reference software I am new to HEVC and I am understanding the reference software now (looking at intra prediction right now).
I need to get information as below after encoding.

*

*the CU structure for a given CTU

*for each CU during calculations, it's information (eg. QP value, selected mode for Luma, selected mode for chroma, whether the CU is in final CU structure of the CTU-split decision, etc.)

I know CTU decision are made when m_pcCuEncoder->compressCtu( pCtu ) is called in TEncSlice.cpp. But where exactly I can get these specific information? Can someone help me with this?
p.s. I am learning C++ too (I have a Java background).

A: EDIT: This post is a solution for the encoder side. However, the decoder side solution is far less complex.
Getting CTU information (partitioning etc.) is a bit tricky at encoder if you are new to the code. But I try to help you with it.
Everything that I am going to tell you is based on the JEM code and not HM, but I am pretty sure that you can apply them to HM too.
As you might have noticed, there are two completely separate phases for compression/encoding of each CTU:

*

*The RDO phase: first there is the Rate-Distortion Optimization loop to "make the decisions". In this phase, literally all possible combinations of the parameters are tested (e.g. differetn partitionings, intra modes, filters etc.). At the end of this phase the RDO determines the best combination and passes them to the second phase.

*The encoding phase: Here the encoder does the actual final encoding step. This includes writing all the bins into the bitstream, based on the parameters determined during the RDO phase.

In the CTU level, these two phases are performed by the m_pcCuEncoder->compressCtu( pCtu ) and the m_pcCuEncoder->encodeCtu( pCtu ) functions, respectively, both in the compressSlice() function of the TEncSlice.cpp file.
Given the above information, you must look for what you are looking for, in the second phase and not the first phase (you may already know these things, but I suspected that you might be looking at the first phase).
So, now this is my suggestion for getting your information. It's not the best way to do it, but is easier to explain here.
You first go to this point in your HM code:
compressGOP() -> encodeSlice() -> encodeCtu() -> xEncodeCU()
Then you find the line where the prediction mode (intra/inter) is encoded:
m_pcEntropyCoder->encodePredMode()
At this point, you have access to the pcCU object which contains all the final decisions, including the information you look for, that are made during the first phase. At this point of the code, you are dealing with a single CU and not the entire CTU. But if you want your information for the entire CTU, you may go back to
compressGOP() -> encodeSlice() -> encodeCtu()
and find the line where the xEncodeCU() function is called for the first time. There, you will have access to the pCtu object.
Reminder: each TComDataCU object (pcCU if you are in the CU level, or pCtu if you are in the CTU level) of size WxH is split to NumPartition=(W/4)x(H/4) partitions of size 4x4. Each partition is accessible by an index (uiAbsPartIdx) which indicates its Z-scan order. For example, the uiAbsPartIdx for the partition at <x=8,y=0> is 4.
Now, you do the following steps:

*

*Get the number of partitions (NumPartition) within your pCtu by calling pCtu->getTotalNumPart().

*Loop over all NumPartition partitions and call the functions pCtu->getWidth(idx), pCtu->getHeight(idx), pCtu->getCUPelX(idx) and pCtu->getCUPelY(), where idx is your loop iterator. These functions return the following information for each CU coincided with the 4x4 partition at idx: width, height, positionX, positionY. [both positions are relative to the pixel <0,0> of the frame]

*The above information is enough for deriving the CTU partitioning of the current pCtu! So the last step is to write a piece of code to do that.
This was an example of how to extract CTU partitioning information during the second phase (i.e. encoding phase). However, you may call some proper functions to get the other information in your second question. For example, to get selected luma intra mode, you may call pCtu->getIntraDir(CHANNEL_TYPE_LUMA, idx), instead of getWidth()/getHeight() functions. Or pCtu->getQP(CHANNEL_TYPE_LUMA, idx) to get the QP value.
You can always find a list of functions that provide useful information at the pCtu level, in the TComDataCU class (TComDataCU.cpp).
I hope this helps you. If not, let me know!
Good luck,


Theatre Actor Studio has been participating in children's workshops for a long time now. Rajesh Bakshi, the founder of this group, has been directing these workshops for the last 10 years. Some of the group's important productions are Ichhapuran (Rabindranath Tagore), Kalakar (Phanishwar Nath Renu), Paazeb (Jainendra Kumar), Wizard of Oz (adapted by Bharti Dang) etc. Some of the short plays directed by Rajesh Bakshi are Savdhani Hi Suraksha, Rishi Ki Seekh, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Nasha Mukti, Say No to Crackers, Sadak Yatayat Ke Niyam, Shiksha, Changu-Mangu, Ghogha Sant etc. Rajesh Bakshi has long been associated with Hindi Akademi, Sahitya Kala Parishad, Shri Ram Centre, Udyan Orphan Trust, Yuva Sanstha, Ayam Sansthan and Dramabaaz Company.
The play is about a father and son who wish to live each other's life. Devi Ichhapuran grants them their wish but living each other's age, joys and sorrows becomes unbearable for both.
Rajesh Bakshi has acted in more than 45 plays and participated in many cultural theatre festivals including Bharat Rang Mahotsav, Nandikar Rang Mahotsav, Bharatendu Natya Utsav, Bharat Muni Rang Mahotsav, Sarang Rang Mahotsav, Uttar Pradesh Sanskritik Mahotsav, IPTA Rashtriya Utsav etc. He has 12 years of experience in teaching theatre. He has conducted many theatre workshops for children with organisations like Hindi Akademi, Dramabaaz, Multivalent, Ayam, CCRT etc. Some of the plays directed by him are Jasma Oden (folk play), Aankh Micholi, Doosra Admi – Doosri Aurat, and Ila.
Childhood, with its restless playfulness, can be understood only with love and intelligence, whereas adulthood brings not only independence but also responsibility along with it. To make this story written by Rabindranath Tagore, more interesting and meaningful, a few of Tagore's poems and another story by him 'Vidhyarthi Ki Pariksha' have been incorporated.

Guest of Honor: Octave One about the global developement and future of techno
Mar 2, 2015 | by Chloë Arkenbout | Music
The Detroit-based brothers Lenny and Lawrence Burden (you might know them as Octave One) have been releasing records and performing all over the world for over 20 years. You might say that they're pioneers. They're performing at 5 Days Off this week, which gave me a nice excuse to ask the guys some questions about the global techno scene. I reckon they've been around long enough to give me some interesting insights.
You guys remixed some impressive artists such as Massive Attack, Steve Bug and Aril Brikha. Are there artists you still want to remix in the future?
"Yeah, we had fun doing a variety of remixes during our career, but honestly, we don't know who we would be rubbing our hands together to remix right now. There are so many good artists making some really good dance music right now, and we admire their work so much we actually don't want to touch it."
You have two record labels, 430 West Records and Direct Beat. Why do you have two and what's the difference between them?
"Direct Beat is on ice at the moment until we decide if we want to wake it back up again. This was our Electro/TechnoBass outlet which was a totally different style altogether. And of course 430 West Records is our main putting-it-to-the-dance-floor-experience label!"
You guys have been producing and performing all over the world for over 20 years. How have you seen the global techno scene develop musically over those years?
"Music is always going through cycles no matter what genre it is. Dance music is just coming off of a very, very minimal vibe which we know is now rolling into a more progressive techno style."
What about the business?
"Its crap! Nobody's really making any significant sales but of course we all try to exploit the music to the best of our ability. But it's sure has added one interesting aspect to what we do. The marketing side of making those sales really has become quite creative almost brilliant, to say the least."
And the audience?
"The crowds are really starting to grow again for techno. The amazing part about them is how intense they are compared to previous years. The amount of women now getting into the genre has easily doubled compared to years ago as well!"
Where do you think it's headed?
"The future is going in the direction that fans really want to see you doing something on stage other then pointing your finger at the breaks in songs. They really are slowly starting to demand that you have to break a sweat for them on stage, which is cool 'cause its pushing the true performers to the front of the pack. And its going to make 'seeing a show' really seeing a show!"
You've played in the Netherlands before. How do you experience the scene here compared to other countries?
"Well, with the Netherlands having so many festivals it seems like the crowds are a lot more educated to what they are listening to, which is really good! The flip side to that is they make you work hard to entertain them, but that's cool; we like busting a sweat anyway!"
What do you think of the other artists that are playing on Friday in the Melkweg during 5 Days Off?
"Mad respect to all the other artists playing. It's nothing like meeting new friends that you've heard a lot about on stage or seeing peeps you haven't seen in a while. This will be the first time we have the opportunity to play with Bicep, Paul Woolford and FunkinEven. We're familiar with their performances and we're excited."
Do you have time to stay in Amsterdam for a little bit?
"We get the chance to stay for a day or so. We've been here many times before and we have a few friends here we love to hang out with, so we'll probably look them up and get into some kind of trouble. No doubt we'll try and do the official tourist things this time, if we can fit it in as well."

Kansas Therapeutic Boarding Schools may not provide what the Future Men therapeutic boarding school does – boarding schools with therapy and private therapeutic schools.
Kansas therapeutic boarding schools for boys can provide a big solution for your boy's problems. Although Future Men is located in Missouri, not Kansas, you'll find that our therapeutic team and the picturesque environment is absolutely ideal for changing the life of a troubled young man.

While you are searching for a Kansas therapeutic boarding schools, please consider Future Men. It is a program located in rural southwest Missouri. To best serve the boys who enroll in this boarding school, our enrollment is maxed at 15 students, between ages 15-20. Our purpose is to help these young men overcome the troubles they arrive here with, and that is best accomplished through individual attention. Whether your son is struggling with anger, drug use, stealing, lack of self-control, or being untrustworthy, Future Men can help! We know that you have done everything in your power to set your son up for success, but some boys just need that extra help. Here, they are provided the chance they need to dedicate their efforts full-time to changing their lives and getting caught back up.
As boys begin to straighten out their behavior, they are once again able to focus on school. A lot of times, troubled boys have gotten behind in their academics. Future Men, however, is a therapeutic boarding school for boys where even teenagers who were very far behind in school can catch up through our credit recovery program!
One of the most worrisome things about your son's behavior is likely the feeling that things will only continue to get worse from here. Without an education, he might be trapped working dead-end jobs and his behavioral troubles could continue to worsen. We know that no parents want this for their child, and they don't have to! Future Men will teach your son to succeed in academics and life. Boys can catch up credits here much more quickly than at other therapy ranches.
Boys who attend this program get the opportunity to catch up on schoolwork in less time than available elsewhere. A typical school year can be accomplished in as little as four to five months here! Where traditional schools aren't equipped to deal with troubled boys, that is all we do at Future Men. Our curriculum is accredited through the North Central Association Commission on Schools, as well, meaning that schoolwork done here is transferrable when they return home to Kansas. Most importantly, the small enrollment size of this program ensures that each students receives the personal attention that was unavailable back in their old school. This is often necessary for troubled teenagers, as they move forward at different paces and require a more personal approach. Your son is not beyond help, Future Men will prepare him for a future he could not have dreamed of.

This is among therapeutic boarding schools with teen counseling to improve behavior problems of teenagers struggling with anger, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), attention deficit, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, reactive attachment disorder (RAD), intermittent explosive disorder (IED), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders, self-harm, or rebellion. For a troubled teenager, rather than seeking military schools, better and longer lasting help can be found from Christian boarding schools like Future Men.

For religious families, a Christian boarding school that works with troubled teens may be the best option.
