A partial lunar eclipse took place on 4 June 2012. It was the first of two lunar eclipses occurring in 2012, the second eclipse set to happen on 28 November. The moon was about 37% covered by the Earth's northern umbral shadow at maximum eclipse.

Visibility

This lunar eclipse, occurring during June's "Strawberry" full moon was completely visible over Australia, rising over eastern Asia and setting over western North America. New England and eastern Canada missed the entire eclipse since the event began after moonset in those regions. The eclipse was visible in the central United States.

Amongst those in North America, observers in western Canada and the USA had the best views with moonset occurring sometime after mid-eclipse.

Lunar year (354 days)

This eclipse was one of five lunar eclipses in a short-lived series. The lunar year series repeats after 12 lunations or 354 days (Shifting back about 10 days in sequential years). Because of the date shift, the Earth's shadow will be about 11 degrees west in sequential events.

Half-Saros cycle
A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros). This lunar eclipse is related to two annular solar eclipses of Solar Saros 147.

Byron Jaromir Dafoe (born February 25, 1971, in Worthing, Sussex, England) is a Canadian former National Hockey League goaltender. He moved to Canada with his mother at the age of two months old. Between 1992 and 2004, he played for the Boston Bruins, Washington Capitals, Los Angeles Kings and Atlanta Thrashers.
Playing career Edit
Dafoe was drafted 35th overall in the 2nd round of the 1989 NHL Entry Draft by the Washington Capitals and made his NHL debut in the 1992-93 season. Dafoe also played for the Capitals in the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons. In 1995, Dafoe joined the Los Angeles Kings, with whom he stayed for two seasons before being traded to the Boston Bruins in 1997.
In the following two season, Dafoe helped the Bruins back to the playoffs, winning a postseason series in 1999. He finished third in voting for the Vezina Trophy and was named to the NHL Second All-Star Team, edging out Curtis Joseph in the voting. Due to a contract dispute with Bruins General Manager Harry Sinden, he was a holdout for part of the 1999-2000 season and suffered injuries during it, so he never regained his previous form.
In 2002, he signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Thrashers. Byron Dafoe retired from professional hockey following the 2004–05 NHL lockout.
Outside of the NHL, Dafoe has played for WHL sides Portland Winter Hawks (1986-1990) and Prince Albert Raiders (1990-1991), ECHL side Hampton Roads Admirals, AHL sides Baltimore Skipjacks (1991-1992 and 1992-1993), New Haven Nighthawks (1992) and Portland Pirates (1993-1994 and 1994-1995), and IHL side Phoenix Roadrunners.
During Dafoe's time with the Winter Hawks, he had an on-ice fistfight with Tri-City Americans goaltender Olaf Kölzig, someone with whom he would go on to have a friendly rivalry in the NHL -- so friendly that they served as each other's best man when they got married. He and Kolzig also had a "friendly" fight later in their NHL careers on November 28, 1998 when the Boston Bruins took on the Washington Capitals. During the game, a fight broke out that was so violent and all encompassing, the goalies (Dafoe and Kolzig) also got caught up in it. The fight between the goalies was primarily comedic, with both Dafoe and Kolzig laughing as they landed punches.

Paul Goldberger explores the life and projects of Frank Gehry.
Taylor Kristan
Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Email
"Oh my God, what have I done to these people?" When Frank Gehry visited the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, for its official opening in 1997, that was his initial reaction. He looked around at the massive swirls of titanium cladding and was terrified – of either making the biggest mistake of his life or becoming the world's greatest living architect. Philip Johnson had yet to cry real tears on the Charlie Rose show and call the museum "the greatest building of our time." New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman had not yet proclaimed it the most significant building of the 20th century. Gehry was not yet that Gehry.
He was still the Jewish kid from Toronto trying to make it in Los Angeles and, like every ambitious architect, working long hours on a dozen projects to stay afloat. While he had won a few big commissions, most notably the Walt Disney Concert Hall in L.A., none had been built. Gehry was best known for "cheapskate architecture" (his term), where he turned inexpensive materials like chain-link fencing and corrugated steel into playful, often wonky exterior features.
Building Art (Knopf), Paul Goldberger's biography, devotes only a single chapter to Bilbao, but the project represents multiple convergences. Besides awakening the public to new architecture and causing every city thereafter to crave a starchitect landmark of its own, it was the point at which building with computers came of age. Engineered using computer-aided three-dimensional interactive application (CATIA) software, Bilbao opened wide the possibility of constructing just about anything imaginable. Architecture has never looked back.
Anyone familiar with Gehry's career will recall many of his breakthrough moments, and Goldberger's journalistic talent (he is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair) is perfectly suited to weave them into an insightful and entertaining narrative – right up to the present day, when Gehry, now 86, is still at the top of his game.

The Missing Bluff for Mike McDermott
TheRinger has a great oral history of Rounders. This was for a while a movie that had a pretty big influence on my leisure time, and arguably my life, given how much time I'd subsequently spend in the game in 2002-2005. It was a portrait of friendship and striving, a hero's journey of someone choosing a character-rich demimonde.
Poker aficionados can fill many hours discussing pros and cons of the movie. A gazillion online poker handles were paeans to the film ("TeddyKGB" and "MikeMcD" and it's variants so common. Few of those players were very good.)
There are two big bluffs in the movie.
He first bluffs on behalf of his professor, the first demonstration of his purported abilities – the audience has only seen him lose big so far. He's "seen half the hand. How the **** are you betting into us?!"
The bluff works, he's shown his poker skills and moves up the law at the same time. Despite the invitation from the judge, he doesn't pull up a seat "I can't. I don't play cards."
In the set up for the final confrontation with TeddyKGB, Mike recounts a story of bluffing Johnny Chan at 300-600 – the highest limit played in Atlantic City. Still a limit game. The damage can be contained. Mike doesn't really have the bankroll to play at these levels. The implication is that he CAN bluff with a lot on the line. But it was really just calling Chan's bluff. He's read the other player well (who he's seen on what limited poker television there was at the time) — just as he read the professor's opponents. We've been told he can even play weak opponents blind, can just watch them.
"Did you have it?" Chan asks Mike.
The script's structure for revealing his one real bluff, is a great case study for when to use flashbacks in screenwriting. Learning this backstory in the penultimate scene adds poignancy to the opening scene while accelerating us to the conclusion(s). It also adds character to the character's nadir, where he is watching Chan on TV.
On to Teddy's lair. Great poker players as repeatedly told in the film, you're playing the man, not the cards. Teddy is trying to push Mike, on the very first hand, when Mike gets a pair of Kings.
A glorious hand to start with. Mike raises; Teddy re-raises, half his chips. If Teddy has AA well enjoy your slavery; of course one goes all in here. It is safe to do this. It's exactly what you want in poker, not just the hand but the preceding action. Mike has just gotten lucky.
How much better if Mike had merely represented the KK and had a K2 off suit? Then shown the cards to taunt Teddy?

I graduated as a biologist, majoring in human genetics and physical anthropology. Since my student days I have focused on research topics at the interface of these two disciplines. My main interests have been in disease and population genetics as well as in ancient DNA analysis. I spent eight years at various research institutions abroad (Dunedin, Jerusalem, Johannesburg). After my return to Germany in 2003 I continued my career as a Senior Scientist at Kiel University where I was appointed professor in 2008. In my research I primarily investigate the molecular basis of longevity and the role of genetic variation in health and disease, with an emphasis on host-pathogen and human diet co-evolution processes.
Since 2012, I have been the scientific coordinator of the Master's program for Medical Life Sciences. As a lecturer, I teach the modules on "Study Orientation", "Scientific Writing" and the focus area of "Human Ageing", as well as contribute to various courses ranging from "Civilization Diseases" to "Molecular Biology" and "Evolutionary Medicine".

Searching for Captain Knox
We only know the history that is written down. Some of the 8th Virginia's most valiant warriors left sparse records and have consequently been forgotten. One of the best parts of this project is the opportunity to bring some of their stories back to life. A case in point is the story of Captain James Knox.
It has long been believed that Knox used his inheritance to come to Virginia from Northern Ireland at the age of 14. Period records seem to indicate he was born in Virgina, so it may have been his father who came that way. Regardless, Knox lived an amazing life. He evidently entered Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap before Daniel Boone did. He was the leader of the famous "long hunts" into Kentucky in 1769, 1770 and 1771 before serving in Dunmore's War against the Shawnee in 1774.
He then led the Fincastle (Kentucky) County company for the 8th Virginia in 1776. After his company was decimated by malaria in south, he was detached to lead a new company in Morgan's Rifles and took part in the first major American victory of the war at Saratoga. After the war, he served in the legislatures of Virginia and Kentucky (after it separated from Virginia) and served in the Kentucky militia as a colonel. In 1805 he married the widow of his neighbor and friend, Benjamin Logan.
Knox died on Christmas Eve in 1822 and was buried near his wife and Logan. From there, this once-prominent frontier hero slowly slipped into obscurity. In 1923, a Kentucky historian reported that Knox's gravestone had "fallen from its base to the earth" where it lay "forgotten" in a "neglected and overgrown" graveyard. In 1964, the Commonwealth of Kentucky placed a historic marker two miles away on the Louisville Pike (Route 60). One side memorialized Benjamin Logan, the other (the back, officially) memorialized Knox.
On a recent trip to Kentucky, I decided to find the marker and—if I could—Knox's grave. The Kentucky Historical Marker Database said the Logan-Knox sign was four miles west of Shelbyville. I drove ten miles west of Shelbyville, but couldn't find it. An internet search found a newspaper account of the 2015 rededication of the Logan family burial ground (where Knox is buried), with vague directions. I thought, perhaps, the sign had been moved there—somewhere on Brunerstown Road.

[In 2020, Mike Harrod informed me that the marker visible from the road actually belongs to Logan's daughter, Ann Logan Allen.]
Driving south from Shelbyville, Brunerstown Road was easy to find and the sign was right there at the intersection. Though happy to find it, I was disappointed to see it was literally posted in a ditch. Worse, it was falling over and situated so that the only way to read Knox's side was to get out of your car and walk into the field behind it. After taking several photographs, I drove the length of Brunerstown Road looking for the cemetery but couldn't find it.
After a mile, the road narrowed and lost its markings—looking, probably, just the way it had in Knox's day but for the pavement. On my second pass, I encountered a man checking his mail box. He happily told me where the graveyard was—up on a hill overlooking the Bullskin Creek. Far from the road, it was inaccessible except through a neighbor's property, and they were not home.
I drove by the creek one more time and looked high up on the bluff on the opposite side. Through the trees, I could just make out a monument. Looking on my phone at pictures on FindAGrave.com, I decided it looked like Benjamin Logan's grave marker. Knox's grave is up there too, but can't be seen from the road.
The Logan cemetery was cleaned up in 2015. Already "neglected and overgrown" in 1923, it was described in 2015 as "in complete disrepair; you couldn't even walk through it, you had to spread the trees and the bushes and the vines apart to even get through it." My search for Knox's grave is a perfect allegory for the story of the 8th Virginia. The story is out there, but it's frequently very hard to find.

Locust Grove and the 8th Virginia Regiment
Locust Grove, built by 8th Virginia Captain William Croghan about 1792.
No other place does more to tell the story of the 8th Virginia Regiment than the house and museum at Locust Grove, near Louisville, Kentucky. It does this almost unintentionally. Locust Grove was the after-war home of Captain William Croghan (who was a major when the war ended). He married the sister of fellow 8th Virginia Captain Jonathan Clark and lived not far from Clark at the fall-line of the Ohio River (Louisville). This was a roughly 400-mile boat ride from his old home at Pittsburgh.For many 8th Virginia men, the opening up of Kentucky was their main reason for fighting in the war. Colonel Abraham Bowman, captains Croghan, Clark, James Knox, and George Slaughter all moved to Kentucky after (or during) the war. So did a large number of the regiment's junior officers and enlisted men.
I have compared this research to a jigsaw puzzle—the compilation of thousands of discrete bits of information from a multitude of sources. It was a bit of a shock, therefore to visit Locust Grove and find a place that seemed in so many ways to be a memorial to the 8th Virginia Regiment and its veterans. It isn't actually that, of course. I don't think the regiment itself is even mentioned. Much more is said about Croghan's brother-in-law George Rogers Clark. But the museum's exhibits wonderfully contextualize and illustrate the world of the 8th Virginia, before, during and especially after the war.
Croghan was a very important man in Kentucky. He had money, land, and relationships. Much or most of that—including his marriage—came to him through his service in the war. The same could be said for many of his 8th Virginia comrades who prospered in the west. It was in large measure what they fought for during the Revolution: opportunity.
Portraits of the elderly Lucy and William Croghan hang inside the house.
Through his wife, Croghan was related to explorer William Clark and General George Rogers Clark.

The US Interpretation Industry Just Had a Very Hot Summer
An uptick in legal and healthcare interpretation news in the US have been covered by various media outlets over the past few months. Here is a short rundown covering stories from public policy affecting courtroom docket diversity to pay rate debates to healthcare interpreting issues and shiny new hardware for remote video interpreting.
Spike in Demand
US public policy has affected interpretation demand with President Donald Trump cracking down on illegal immigration. The consequence is that courtroom interpreters for typically "rare" languages are becoming increasingly in demand, with required languages ranging from Punjabi and Nepali to even Ashanti Twi, a dialect of the Akan language from Ghana.
According to one report, the surge in demand is not being sufficiently supplied to the point of "several prosecutions [being] dismissed this summer because of language issues."
There has been a spike in demand for languages other than Spanish, according to the report: "in May there was need for 11 such languages; in July it rose to 28." Courts have also reportedly seen a rise in the demand for various dialects. One such case was where a Mexican woman being prosecuted for illegal entry was provided a Mexican interpreter but in the wrong dialect.
Trump's "zero tolerance" policy is making courtroom dockets more diverse, which in turn is pressuring courtrooms to seek out interpreters where they can. And this, in turn, has caused rare language and dialect interpreters to become overburdened with work that sometimes requires them to travel miles between states. In the worst situations, cases are simply dismissed due to a lack of qualified language interpreters, which is essential to a defendant's right to counsel guaranteed by the US constitution Sixth Amendment.
Coordinating Legal Interpreters
The increase in illegal border entry cases is not the only driver for courtroom interpretation demand. Indeed, legal and healthcare interpretation demand has been rising for a while now in the US.
Cut to Grand Island, Nebraska, where the local administration appointed its first full-time state court interpreter coordinator. The coordinator's role is to ensure language services are accessible to both limited English proficiency defendants and victims in courtroom cases. Coordinators (Nebraska has three others) also help directly with translation work. The shift from contractual to full-time is in line with the increase in demand in the vertical.
In Minnesota, state court interpreters are attempting to increase their rates to a bit of pushback from the local government.
According to a Minnesota Judicial Branch state court administrator, they could not provide the most recent request for a 44% rate increase by legal interpreters as the request was "out of line with the findings" of two other market research studies conducted by government bodies carried out to ensure pay rates were competitive and "consistent with the market average of other Minnesota public entities."
The court administrator also brushed off comparisons between language and sign interpreting rates, noting that "state and national market pays significantly higher rates" for sign language interpretation as it "requires significantly more education and demonstrated proficiency."
So it is a stalemate for now, but talks are ongoing.
Multilingual Voting
Civil rights organizations from the Sunshine State of Florida have filed a suit that seeks Spanish-language voting services for its Hispanic population. The move was motivated by an influx of "tens of thousands" of Puerto Ricans coming into the state over the past year after the devastation of Hurricane Maria.
The source article estimates that there are around a million Puerto Ricans residing in Florida, but of course Spanish-language voting services will also be of use to the 5.3 million Hispanics living in the state, a little more than 25% of the total population in Florida.
Meanwhile other states have similar initiatives, for example, local media outlets in Queens, New York are calling on interpreters who can speak English and another language fluently to "deploy at polling places on both primary day, Sept. 13, and Election Day, Nov. 6," offering USD 460 to anyone who completes training and works on both days.
Healthcare Interpreting
Meanwhile, in healthcare interpreting, the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) recently put its interpretation services contract in the hands of a new vendor, and interpreters are running into problems.
Previous vendor Language Link exited the contract when it was put up for re-bid in December 2017. The new vendor, Universal Language Services (ULS), officially took over this July.
Some interpreters are complaining that pay has been delayed since the end of June. Other concerns were reportedly administrative oversights such as not registering many healthcare providers as "requesters" of interpretation services. This causes requesting healthcare providers to pay out of pocket as language services request become private jobs, and this also means interpreters taking these jobs essentially get paid USD 15 per hour less.
According to Leroy Mould, President of Interpreters United Local 1671, a union of freelance interpreters, ULS "was not ready in the least. They were were not ready even — for anything whatsoever."
The interpreter union is pushing the Washington State HCA for accountability. Meanwhile, ULS' Chief Quality Officer, Suzy Redfern, has admitted that "it wasn't as smooth of a transition as we would of (sic) liked." She noted that many of the concerns raised were transitional issues. "It's just the natural things that come up from one person, or vendor, or company (to the next)," she said. Talks are ongoing after two meetings so far between the HCA and the interpreter union.
On a more positive note, in Twin Falls, Idaho, a few hospitals are getting In-Demand remote video interpretation devices intended to improve patient experience. The devices support "video assistance for 27 languages and more than 250 languages over a phone as well as sign language," according to a local news story.
Editor's note: A previous version of this story mistakenly identified United Language Services as the new vendor for the Washington State Health Care Authority's interpretation contract. It has since been corrected to Universal Language Services. Hat tip to Mr. T. Wozniak for spotting the erratum.

Time to celebrate all the dads out there.
Today I'm honoring my husband, my father, my father-in-law, and my mom's father, "Grampy"–still alive at age 92. And my dad's father, "Baba"–although he passed away, I have many fond memories of his visits to this country when I was a child.
I admire these men for their strength, integrity, and strong moral character. They all have a great sense of humor, know how to have fun and are great storytellers (important in our house). My boys and I are fortunate to be surrounded by such great male role models.
This picture shows the boys having a fun time with their dad–they were all inspired to make their own Soapbox Derby vehicle after watching the Soapbox Derby Races last year here in Providence.

Anisa… each of your talents supercedes the previous!
Such a beautifully written piece. I am sure your Grampy is thrilled! In fact, I know so!


Last Thursday was the kick-off to a brand new event – the first international modern quilt show, QuiltCon!
The show took place in Austin, TX, and we had so much fun seeing all of the beautiful quilts, including the Maasai Mara quilts made for the Dear Stella Fabric Challenge!
First Prize went to Melody Baker for "Dear Stella as Charm Squares Baby Quilt." We loved getting to meet Melody – she is so sweet!
And here's another view of the quilt. We loved Melody's straight-line quilting – so crisp and precise!
Second Prize went to "Not Quite a Shadow" – made by Susan Shore and quilted by Jessica Sloan. Such a beautiful design!

Eastlink Chooses DiGiCo SD10B For New HD Mobile Unit
Tuesday, June 4, 2013 - 11:48 am
When Canadian television company Eastlink TV contacted DiGiCo distributor Gerr Audio to talk about an intercom system for the company's new HD mobile unit, it ended up with more than it bargained for. This new, state-of-the-art facility not only features the originally requested intercom, but a DiGiCo SD10B broadcast specific digital mixing console.
"Historically, we've supplied Eastlink with Clearcomm intercoms," explains Gerr's Andrew Hope. "So when they were kitting out the new HD mobile, which is a big step up for them as a regional television provider, they came to talk to us about it.
"Of course, I looked around and said 'so what else are you going to put in this truck…?'. We ended up supplying a large part of the audio system, with CEV in Montreal handling the integration. The centrepiece is the SD10B."
Eastlink had also done a considerable amount of research into console options in preparation for the build, having explored different products over three years of visits to the NAB show in the US.
"We decided to go with the DiGiCo console because of its reputation and price point," says Kaushal Hathi, Operations Manager at Eastlink. "It provides a big bang for the buck, which meant we didn't have to sacrifice quality for price.
"I had always thought of DiGiCo as producing live event consoles until I was introduced to the SD10B. Since this console is to be used for different types of events, from sports to music, we were impressed with the versatility it offers."
Other considerations for Eastlink were ease of use, to accommodate the many different people who will operate it, and its off-line software, which allows the preparation of sessions prior to arriving at any event.
"Finally, the console size had to be small enough for a mobile environment, but large enough to be able to operate properly," Kaushal adds. "The SD10B provided both. The MADI interface is ideal for a mobile environment, which not only cuts down on cabling but provides more flexibility for audio routing."
Eastlink's operators have found the console both user-friendly and intuitive. "They are also very impressed with it's flexibly," continues Kaushal. "The sound quality is superb and the operators are very impressed with the monitoring capabilities, such as the user definable monitor matrix with calibrated monitor levels. They find the compressors and the pre-amps very powerful, with the pre-amps hard to distort, and the analog conversion is powerful and clean. Ergonomically, they find all the controls are within easy reach."
One of Eastlink's first outings with the SD10B was at the East Coast Music Awards Gala event at the beginning of March, which included 12 live musical acts. The broadcast mix was handled entirely by the console, and Kaushal reports that the entire mobile unit performed just as it was designed to do.
"Andrew at Gerr Audio has handled all our needs and we have always found him extremely knowledgeable and accessible," Kaushal concludes. "I'm glad we went with the DiGiCo console, so much so that I wouldn't look at other products on future projects."

Advisory: Covering the Kenyan election re-run
Kenya's Supreme Court annulled the presidential elections held in August because of irregularities and has scheduled a new vote for 26 October. The opposition has threatened to boycott but with ballot papers arriving, the poll looks set to go ahead on Thursday.
Background to possible violence
Kenya has many unemployed people with time on their hands who can easily be incentivised to demonstrate.
There have been reports of roadblocks, drivers stopped and their identification documents scrutinised for tribal affiliation. This also happened before the election violence in 2007.
It is unclear what will happen if the election is not held by the end of October when President Uhuru Kenyatta's constitutional mandate expires. Kenya's attorney general has said Kenyatta could stay until a new election is arranged.
Kenya's population is not prepared for violence. Some left before the last poll in August and spent the summer outside the country, but this time most plan to stay, as they can't afford to leave for a second time.
Reporting from Kenya
The authorities are increasingly cracking down on personal protective equipment (PPE). Crews wearing protective gear are being harassed and carrying original copies of permits is essential at all times as the security forces are looking for excuses to arrest journalists.
The security forces are using tear gas liberally. Carrying gas masks and goggles is permitted and advised.
The government is showing far less restraint than before the August elections and is highly sensitive to any unfavourable reporting.
Local journalists are particularly under threat from strong-arm tactics, as is anyone doing investigative reporting.
As in August, the flashpoints for potential violence are Kisumu town, Mombasa, Eldoret and Nairobi.
Accreditation from the August poll remains valid with the exception of those requiring access to the counting centre who will need to reapply.
See our previous advisory on covering the Kenyan elections here.
This advisory is based on information provided by Salim Amin, the chairman of Camerapix, the founder of the Mohamed Amin Foundation and the co-founder of A24 Media.

The following is a guest post by Rosalea Collinge and a continuation of my "Top Ten Tuesdays" series. This week our post is on Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
Tenerife, Canary Islands.co is an absolutely beautiful place to visit. Here is a suggestion of ten great things to see and do while there.
Firstly, Teide National Park is a must-see. With the third largest volcano in the world, the Mount Teide, and its strange lunar landscape, your eyes are sure to be impressed. Also, if you want to get a spectacular view of the surrounding islands, cable cars run up to the top of the volcano.
If you like to be adventurous, you might also like to try Siam Park, a Thai-themed water park. This includes a mini water park for children, plus a huge wave pool with a gold sand beach. This will surely prove to be a fun-filled day for all the family.
For something more secluded and quiet, the gorgeous village of Masca, located to the northwest is lovely. Found on the side of the mountains, it retains its character from centuries ago. It can be accessed by a very windy road, which can be either exciting or scary depending on how you like travelling by car. Alternatively you can book a Tenerife Island tour, and have your way mapped out for you. Either way, this is a great place to visit to get away from civilization for a while.
Also in the northwest of Tenerife, you will find the cliffs of Los Gigantes. These rise up 1600 feet from the Atlantic ocean and will blow your mind. You can see them by boat, or just view them from the quayside, while enjoying a relaxing drink.
In addition to beautiful scenery, Tenerife provides the opportunity to view sea life. Take a boat trip to see pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins in the waters in between Tenerife and La Gomera. Here you can experience these lovely creatures first hand, and for more intimate sightings visit the dolphinarium in AquaPark.
Come to Tenerife around February time and you will be able to experience the excitement of carnival. Although this is celebrated all over the island, Santa Cruz de Tenerife is said to hold the most spectacular celebrations. The streets become a hub of activity with stalls, music and ultimately a parade. This is a spectacular event and will definitely provide enough excitement for a great holiday.
In Puerto de la Cruz, the second largest tourist city on the island, you will also find relaxation. One of the biggest attractions of this area is the Lago Martianez. This is various seawater pools which you can bathe in and simply relax. These were created by Cesar Manrique and are a spectacular place to spend the day.
There are a lot of great hotels in Tenerife. Many are found at the beach resorts, which are a great place to party and relax. For example, Palm Beach Club, found on the main beach in Playa de las Americas caters for the all round family holiday. From water-skiing to dolphin trips this place has it all, as do many others.
Staying in Puetro de la Cruz, if you have children, a great source of entertainment is Loro Parque. This is a wildlife park, where you can see dolphins, whales, chimpanzees, tigers and even alligators. So spend a day here, full of excitement and new experiences.
A more adult activity, however, has to be visiting the wineries of Tenerife. There are many beautiful vineyards where you can get to know the processes by which tasty wines are created. You can usually also enjoy a meal in these places, as well as the doubtless beauty of the setting.
So there is a lot to see and do in Tenerife. If you decide to visit, be sure to find out more by visiting My Destination Tenerife, and enjoy your holiday!

One of the fun things about travel blogging is that you get to be your reader's personal tour guide/geography teacher/travel inspiration. Your post did all of the above for me since I knew very little about the Canary Islands….thanks, Matt!
Glad the post could help!
The first photo is the one I like best. Very striking!
I definitely need to go to Tenerife. I'm really interested in visiting Teide National Park and doing all the watersports.

Plans for an equestrian resort stirring debate
Polo NewsNorth America
Will it be an economic boon to the region at a time when timber jobs are drying up or merely a pipe dream that will eventually end up on the scrap heap, like so many other grandiose projects pitched before it?
Will the equestrian-centered project provide fun and leisurely activities for horse lovers, as the developers say, or will it cause traffic jams and noise pollution for surrounding landowners?
Where will the water for the massive development come from, and will it suck dry other water sources that people living in the area depend on?
Those are just a few of the questions surrounding the proposed Pegasus Equestrian Resort & Venue that were debated at a Douglas County Planning Commission hearing Thursday evening.
The ambitious project is being proposed by brothers Quinn and Drew Millegan, investors who live in McMinnville and operate the Woodworth Contrarian Fund hedge fund and Millegan Brothers LLC, among other ventures. The multi-disciplinary equestrian venue would be located on just over 2,800 acres near Metz Hill Road and west of Interstate 5.
"We've been looking for a site for more than 10 years, up and down the west coast, including Washington and California. And then we found this … It's perfect," Drew Millegan said earlier this week.
Plans call for five indoor arenas, outdoor grass and sand arenas, a dedicated combined driving course, an equestrian cross-country course and four full-size grass polo fields for equestrian competitions. The project also features a $35 million, 150-room hotel resort and spa facility with restaurants, meeting rooms and convention facilities.
The Millegans have said there will be an initial investment of $120 million on the project, and once up and running it is projected to bring in $130 million in annual revenue.
About three dozen people showed up for the hearing. Of those who stated a position on the proposal, those who supported it outnumbered those opposed by more than three-to-one.
Kelley McGuire of Oakland said she is a horse breeder and trainer, and currently all the horses she sells go to California or Washington because there is no market here. The proposed equestrian center would change that, she said.
"They are what we need. I am all for this," McGuire said.
Other speakers echoed those sentiments. They said the development would bring badly needed money and jobs to the area.
An economic analysis found that the construction phase of the resort would provide more than 1,500 jobs total, including more than 800 at the job site. Once the work is done, the venue would employ about 500 workers — half of them full-time — the analysis determined.
The analysis, performed for a similar proposal by ECONorthwest, a consulting firm based in the Pacific Northwest that specializes in economics, finance, and planning, determined that the total benefit to the region would be $250 million a year in hotel stays, restaurant meals, day trips and other expenditures associated with the venue.
The Millegans point to several unique advantages of the site, including its proximity to the interstate, its size, its beauty and its low elevation and moderate climate. The property also contains a private airfield with a 5,100-foot runway capable of accommodating smaller planes.
The Millegans said they intend to generate much of the power needed for the venue on-site. They said they are exploring a variety of sources including solar, wind, geothermal and biofuel, which could potentially turn horse manure into energy. The Millegans also said they are looking at putting in potential vineyards and opening a winery/distillery on the property.
The Millegans, along with their father, J.W. Millegan, defended the proposed development at Thursday's hearing. The three said they intend to be good stewards of the land, good neighbors and a helping hand to other area businesses.
"We don't want to crowd out existing businesses, we want to support them," Quinn Millegan said.
The three also said that if the Pegasus Equestrian Resort is not approved, the land could be developed in a much more deleterious way, including large-scale subdivisions built at the site.
"Pegasus will defend the land against subdivisions," J.W. Millegan said. "We don't want McMansions."
PREVIOUS EFFORTS
Those opposed to the project were not swayed.
Shelley Wetherell, who was representing the group Friends of Douglas County, questioned the viability of the proposal.
"There's been some other major ventures that never came to fruition. You never know what's going to happen," she said.
Wetherell also said that a previous proposal to develop that land, called Heaven's Gate, could not get the water permits it needed, and said there were "no assurances" that the current proposal could either.
Then there was the issue of the airstrip on the property. Wetherell said plans call for $3 million worth of improvements to go into the current airstrip.
"So how will this airport be used, and by whom?" she asked.
Wetherell later asked that the Planning Commission leave the record open for more arguments and testimony. After some discussion among the commission and staff, the hearing was continued and it appears no decision will be made for at least a month.
This is not the first time the Millegan family has tried to build a large-scale equestrian center.
In 2012, J.W. Millegan announced plans to build a 325-acre equestrian center west of Salem called the Wallace Bridge International Equestrian Events and Competition Venue. An economic study commissioned by Millegan at the time estimated the venue would cost $100 million to build, provide 1,000 construction jobs and another 500 permanent jobs at the facility itself.
The venue would draw an estimated 100,000 visitors each year, according to the study.
However, the project got entangled over a conservation easement that Millegan tried to have moved by means of a land swap. The request was denied and Millegan eventually dropped the plans for that development.
In August 2019, Drew and Quinn Millegan announced plans to build an equestrian resort in Siskiyou County, just south of the state border in California. J.W. Millegan said he was an advisor on the project.
Plans for that Pegasus Equestrian International Resort & Venue called for a 1,500-acre development that centered around high-end equestrian events. Plans called for several hotels, three polo fields, three indoor climate-controlled arenas and at least eight outdoor arenas.
The Millegans touted the $120 million development as an economic boon for the region, saying it would provide 500 permanent jobs once completed.
"We looked for over a decade for the perfect site and we have found it as this location," the Pegasus Facebook page proclaimed at the time.
Their plans for the equestrian resort in Siskiyou County were still on track as recently as January 2020. However, the coronavirus put an end to those plans, Drew Millegan said prior to Thursday's meeting.
"Our closing date was March 23, 2020, and we could have gone forward, but the pandemic added a great deal of uncertainty, so we made the decision to pull back," he said.
Millegan said they returned 100% of their investment partners' money. He also said the only reason they went public with their plans for the Siskiyou County development was because the family was contacted by reporters interested in the project.
"In the meantime, we found a better property and better process in Douglas County, and so we never returned to the Yreka site. Life works out," Millegan said. "We have looked at many, many sites before this one, and this is the first time we have made a land use application to move forward."

The Big Band Years
Thu, 09/17/2009 - 8:00pm
Pictured: Host Peter Marshall
Credit: Courtesy TJL Productions
For the first time, the My Music series returns to the era of the legendary orchestras, great singers and song standards in The Big Band Years, drawing upon the most beloved melodies that kept the home fires burning and soldiers' hearts alive during World War II.
The Big Band Years, airing Thursday, September 17 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV (DT21.1/cable1011/cable11), turns back the clock to a time when swing musicians ruled the radio and night clubs, bringing a joyful escape to Americans during one of the most turbulent eras in the nation's history. Peter Marshall ("The Hollywood Squares") hosts.
Probably the most famous leader and ensemble of the big band period are Glenn Miller and his orchestra. Miller was responsible for some of the most enduring big band songs, including "In the Mood" (#1 for three months in 1939) and "Chattanooga Choo-Choo," a chart-topper from 1941. Miller's beloved saxophonist Tex Beneke sang vocals on the group's 1942 million-seller "(I've Got a Gal in) Kalamazoo," along with the Modernaires vocal quartet.
Another brassy big band icon, Harry James, performs the classic "Tuxedo Junction," and clarinet king Benny Goodman is represented by a pair of his signature tunes: "Sing, Sing, Sing" and "These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)." On the lighter side, Cotton Club alumnus Cab Calloway performs his animated rendition of "Minnie the Moocher," a #1 hit from 1931.
The big band era is fondly remembered for the wonderful "boy" and "girl" singers who performed with the bands. Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly, from the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, enjoyed huge success with "Green Eyes" in 1941. The Pied Pipers, who first sang with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, offer their version of the Johnny Mercer evergreen "Dream," while a young Frank Sinatra is seen singing "I'll Never Smile Again."
The immortal Andrews Sisters — Patty, Maxine and Laverne — harmonize on their swinging smash "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." One of big band era's biggest stars, Guy Lomardo, is best-remembered for his annual New Year's Eve appearances on television. Lombardo and his orchestra present a medley of the ensemble's hits, including "Auld Lang Syne."
Hosted by veteran game show host and entertainer Peter Marshall, The Big Band Years is a warm remembrance of the pre-Baby Boom decades when Americans danced and dreamed to unforgettable music.

The NRA Solution to Gun Violence: More Guns, Fewer Videogames
Not a gun.
The National Rifle Association had an entire week following the tragedy in Sandy Hook to craft a response that reflected the complex, difficult and long-overdue conversation taking place around the nation regarding gun ownership, the availability of high-speed weaponry and mental illness in the United States.
Instead NRA spokesman Wayne LaPierre stood up at a press conference this morning and announced the real culprit behind mass shooting in our country: videogames.
Videogames, LaPierre said, are part of a "callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people." Other members of the cultural Axis of Evil include music videos, the TMC horror movie double-feature "Splatterdays," the 1994 film Natural Born Killers, which critiqued the media glorification of mass murderers, and the 20-year-old videogame franchise Mortal Kombat, which features no guns.
"In a race to the bottom, many conglomerates compete with one another to shock, violate, and offend every standard of civilized society, by bringing an even more toxic mix of reckless behavior, and criminal cruelty right into our homes," said LaPierre. "Every minute, every day, every hour of every single year."
We've seen this movie before. Every time the firearms lobby is taken to task in the wake of some horrifying gun crime, it trips all over itself to deflect the public's outrage to videogames, TV and film. Never mind that there's no scientific evidence correlating violent videogames and real-life violence.
"If videogames contributed to violence, we'd expect the Netherlands and South Korea to have the highest rates of gun related-violence – since they play they most violent videogames per capita," says Christopher Ferguson, the Department Chair of Psychology and Communication at Texas A&M International, who has spent years researching the psychological effects of violent videogames. "But the rates are actually quite low," said Ferguson.
Ferguson calls the NRA's statements "surreal." He's conducted studies on media violence that range from several hundred to several thousand participants, and the correlational findings not only fail to show a link between gaming and real-life violence, their outcomes found that gamers had less depression, less frustration, less fighting, less weapons carrying, and fewer arrest records.
Despite results like this, LaPierre plainly hopes that if he blathers on about pretend gun violence long enough, we'll all forget that the very real violence that crashed into a quiet Connecticut town last week would not, and could not, have happened if the troubled perpetrator didn't have ready access to guns.
The solutions to the mass shootings offered by the NRA press conference, which at times bore more resemblance to the first round of a brainstorming session, included exactly zero measures dealing with the numbers or types of guns available to Americans. Their preferred answers include: more armed guards in schools (a measure that didn't prevent the tragedy at Columbine), the creation of a national database of the mentally ill, and nebulously addressing the "moral failings of the media" and the games, movies and other media that LaPierre deemed "the filthiest form of pornography."
LaPierre's NRA researchers even managed to dig up a videogame titled Kindergarten Killer, a 10-year-old Flash game set in a school that allows the player to fire weapons at both students and, for some reason, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This is an especially ridiculous demonstration of LaPierre's point, not only because Kindergarten Killer is an amateur game that pretty much no one ever played, but also because its gameplay features students firing back at the shooter with firearms of their own. It is actually the vision of the world the NRA says will save us: the one where all of us are armed and ready to take down potential mass murderers, wielding bullets against bullets in a firearm version of rock-paper-scissors.
"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," said LaPierre at the conference, a line that it's not too difficult to imagine hearing in the voice of Duke Nukem.
The tragic, hilarious irony of the NRA is that its solution to gun violence – more guns – is ripped straight out of the shoot 'em up videogames that they decry for their moral turpitude. Except while gamers seem to have no problem telling the difference between a fantasy world where every problem can be solved with more ammunition, and the real world, where nuanced problems required nuanced solutions, the NRA isn't quite so lucky. And as long as they continue to promote their first-person shooter approach to gun violence in America, neither is anyone else.

Firefox 40: Profiling JavaScript Performance and More
Firefox 40 comes with some powerful new tools and interesting shifts in strategy. Read on for the biggest changes in Firefox and what they mean for you.
New Performance Tools
Firefox 40 features new profiling tools that give developers a better understanding of what's happening from a performance standpoint within their applications. Developers can use these tools to profile performance in any kind of website, app, or game.
The Performance tab contains the new timeline, including three views:
a Waterfall view, giving insights into how your app is performing in the browser:
Call Tree view, highlighting any JavaScript performance bottlenecks:
Flame Chart view, showing the state of the JavaScript stack at every millisecond during the performance profile:
Mozilla Hacks has produced a video introduction to the new performance tools:
There's also a demo of how to optimize the JavaScript in an HTML5 game using the new performance tools.
Head over to the Mozilla Hacks article for more details on the new performance tools.
All About Windows 10
Mozilla has integrated fresh optimizations for Microsoft's new operating system. These changes are mostly visual, but there are also subtle performance enhancements.
Mozilla says it has made
thoughtful tweaks to the interface to give Firefox a streamlined feel … [with] bigger, bolder design elements as well as more space for viewing the Web.
Firefox 39, on Windows 10, looks like this:
Firefox 40 on Windows 10 is quite different:
Firefox 40 has also improved stabilization in Windows 10—Mozilla tests suggesting that it went from 1 crash per 2 days on Windows 8.1 to 0 crashes in 16 days on Windows 10.
Default browsers and search
There has been controversy over Windows 10 making it difficult for users to switch away from Edge as the default browser and from Bing as the default search engine.
Firefox 40 makes it easier for users to choose their preferred search engine. To take advantage of this, navigate to Settings (Options) > Search to change the search in Firefox as well as Windows. However, note that you can only change your desktop search preferences when Firefox is your default web browser.
Mozilla has helped with clear instructions for restoring Firefox as your default browser if you're struggling to do that in Windows 10.
Expanded Malware Protection
Malware detection features are now extended in Firefox 40. This has been made possible by recent developments in Google's Safe Browsing service—allowing Firefox to identify malware downloads on the platforms it supports and warn users about potentially unwanted software.
This was introduced in Firefox 39, which consisted of extending the monitoring of malicious file downloads to the Mac and Linux versions of Firefox.
When downloading a file of a type that usually contains Windows or Mac executable code (for example, .com, .exe, .msi, .app, .dmg), Firefox asks Google's Safe Browsing service if the file is safe, by sending it some of the download's metadata (file type, name, size, hash, URL, locale). If the file is flagged as harmful by this service, the download manager will block access to the file until the user performs a right-click, and unblocks it manually.
If you'd rather not send data to Google, you can turn off the feature.
In addition to this, Firefox 40 now issues a warning if users visit a page known to contain deceptive software that can make undesirable changes to your computer. If the user encounters such a page, the following warning will show up:
Add-on Signing
With Firefox 40, the era of distributed add-ons in a decentralized manner comes to an end. Unfortunately, there's not much room for this to change, as security and privacy seems to be a priority for Mozilla here.
Mozilla announced in February that it will introduce add-on signing in Firefox, to provide a safer add-on experience to its users. Jorge Villalobos, the Add-ons Developer Relations Lead at Mozilla, explains:
The Mozilla add-ons platform has traditionally been very open to developers. Not only are extensions capable of changing Firefox in radical and innovative ways, but developers are entirely free to distribute them on their own sites, not necessarily through AMO, Mozilla's add-ons site. This gives developers great power and flexibility, but it also gives bad actors too much freedom to take advantage of our users.
In Firefox 40, you'll see a warning if you're using an unsigned add-on. In Firefox 41, however, unsigned add-ons will be disabled, and you won't be able to enable them unless you head over to about:config and disable xpinstall.signatures.required. The plan is for the latter to be disabled in Firefox 42, after which there'll be no way to override that setting. There's been a lot of criticism of this, but it seems Mozilla has already made its decision.
Mozilla has provided an FAQ with more details on what's involved. Also, if you're an add-on developer, you might want to read the guidelines on the Mozilla Developer Network.
Other Notable Changes in Firefox 40
Firefox Hello now allows adding a link to conversations to provide context on what the conversation will be about (basically specifying a topic).
The scrolling, graphics, and video playback performance is vastly improved, with off main thread compositing in GNU/Linux.
Animations and scrolling are now smoother in Windows, thanks to VSync.
A new page ruler highlighting tool that displays lightweight horizontal and vertical rules on a page is now available.
The Inspector allows searches across all content frames in a page.
For a more complete list of changes, check out the Firefox 40 release notes.
You can update your Firefox installation either by patiently waiting for the auto-update, choosing About Firefox within the browser's menu, or downloading the new installer manually from Firefox.com.

Have you ever automatically assumed that someone drop-dead gorgeous is dimwitted? Perhaps you've thought someone has gotten special treatment at work or school because of their looks? Well, it turns out the most attractive among us are probably the most intelligent, too.
Although our society has long associated impressive intellect with an awkward, nerdy appearance and bimbo brainpower with model-like looks, British and American studies show that beautiful people have higher IQs.
This should come as no surprise to someone like Sharon Stone, whose celebrated beauty never stood in the way of her qualifying for Mensa membership.
"Physical attractiveness is significantly positively associated with general intelligence, both with and without controls for social class, body size and health," researcher Satoshi Kanazawa told the UK's Sunday Times.
The explanation for the link lies in our evolutionary mating tendencies. Good-looking people attract partners who are not just good-looking themselves, but also smarter than average. The resulting offspring inherit both genetic qualities.
And although the higher-IQ occurrence applies to both genders, "The association between attractiveness and general intelligence is ... stronger among men than among women," with physically attractive women scoring 11.4 points above average and physically attractive men scoring 13.6 points above average.
Have you ever made assumptions about someone's intelligence based on their looks? Let us know by leaving a comment below.


Quercus robur is a tree in white oak group. Bark deeply furrowed, blackish.
Leaves alternate, small to 12 cm long, 6 cm wide with rounded lobes, widest above middle, but usually narrower than native oaks; leaf base lobed; stays green into Nov.-Dec, long after native oaks are brown or leaves fallen.
Flowers monoecious, males in catkins.
Frequency in NYC: Very infrequent. Rarely escaping in NYC.


Keep two accounts so that you know what to do when you are trading. One account is your live trading account using real money, and the other is your demo account to be used as a testing ground for new strategies, indicators and techniques.
When you are forex trading you need to know that the market will go up and down and you will see the pattern. If you have signals you want to get rid of, wait for an up market to do so. Select your trades based on trends.
Make sure you practice, and you will do much better. If you use a demo account, you can have an idea of what to expect without taking the financial risk. Take advantage of online tutorials! Gather as much information as you can, and practice a lot of trading with your demo account, before you move on to trading with money.
Research the broker you are going to use so you can protect your investment. To ensure success, choose a broker that performs at least as well as the market and has been in business for at least five years, especially if you are new at trading currencies.
Forex is a complicated investment option that should be taken seriously and not as recreation. Some people can get caught up in the moment, and lose site of the fact that it is their own real money they are investing and trading, and end up taking a huge loss. They should just go to a casino if this is what they are looking for.
As a small trader, maintaining your mini account for a period of at least one year is the best strategy to becoming successful at foreign exchange trading. Learn what makes a good trade and a bad one.
Do the opposite. You should always have a game plan so you can stick to it.
A stop loss is an essential way to avoid losing too much money. This is like insurance created for your trading account. They prevent you from losing large amounts of money in an unexpected market shift. Keeping your capital protected is important, and placing a stop loss setup will accomplish that.
Beginning traders should not trade against the forex market. Even experienced traders should be financially secure and also have plenty of patience if they do. New traders shouldn't trade against market trends. Even experienced traders shy away from doing this as going against the trend adds considerable stress.
Anyone who trades on the Forex market should know when to stay in the market and when it is time to get out. Many times traders will stay in a losing trade for too long, with the hopes that the market will turn to the upside again and they'll be able to recoup their losses. This strategy is doomed to fail.
The forex markets lack the sort of centralized exchanges common in other trading media, like stocks or futures. This means that no natural disaster can completely ruin the forex market. If something substantial happens, you needn't panic or feel you must sell everything. Global events affect the market, but might not necessarily affect the currency pair that you trade.
Consider implementing the use of stop loss orders as a means to cut your losses short. Too many traders hold onto a losing positions, hoping that the market trend will reverse.
Use a mini account to start your Forex trading. This way, you can practice trading on the real market without risking large amounts of money. This probably isn't as exciting as a full-fledged trading account, but you need to learn to walk before you can learn to run.
There is certainly no lack of good information related to Forex online. You will be prepared to trade when you can tell what the market is doing. To help you sort through confusing information you should consult qualified professionals via online portal like forums.
Trading news is all over the place, so there's no excuse not to know what's going on. Many resources can be found online and on the television. The material you need is all around you. This is because everybody wants to be in the know at all times.
The tips offered here come right from successful forex traders. There are no guarantees in Forex trading, but by using these tips, you have a greater chance of succeeding. If you follow these guidelines, you will be more likely to make successful and profitable trades on the forex market.

Three Lechner Cars in the Top Six in Qualy Lottery at Hockenheim
The weather was a decisive factor in qualifying for the fifth race of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup at Hockenheim, which saw Nick Yelloly as the luckiest driver securing pole position. The BWT Lechner Racing drivers Thomas Preining and Michael Ammermüller ended up in P4 and P5, with Dylan Pereira of MOMO Megatron Lechner Racing just behind in P6, completing three Lechner Cars in the Top 6 even being a bit at the wrong place at the wrong time in what turned out to be a real lottery.
Heavy rain until one hour before the start of the qualifying had rendered a lot of Friday´s free practice experiences rather useless. There, Ammermüller and teammate Preining had been very happy with their cars and first and third place respectively. Now on a still wet track Ammermüller put himself on the top of the field in the first outing, only to be overtaken by Preining with ten minutes to go. With the track drying out more and more, most drivers were changing to slick tyres for the last minutes of the session to turn everything completely upside down. In the end it was the question of being the last one to cross the start-finish line before the chequered flag to put in the fastest lap under the driest possible conditions: "In this game we really lost out a bit", said Preining who would have wished for a nicer present to celebrate his 20th birthday on Saturday. "We had everything to put our cars in the front", defending champion Ammermüller was adamant, "it just did not go our way today. But we know we have a very good car, so let´s see what we can do in the race tomorrow. Of course a very good start would be very helpful..."
Roar Lindland from Norway in P18 again dominated the ProAm category with an advantage of nearly three seconds over his closest rival, even after slightly touching the tyre wall after an off with about two minutes to go. After the qualifying team Lechner Racing Middle East apologized to Al Faisal Al Zubair (P26), as he had been sent out for is second stint on wet tyres again due to a misunderstanding. One of his mechanics had seen the Ammermüller crew going for the wets again – and done the same thing. The fact that there the decision was changed shortly after with a final switch to slicks unfortunately was overlooked in the hectic situation. On the other hand, staying with rain tyres for Khalid Al Wahaibi (P29) was kind of a precaution due to the very little experience of the young Omani on a still slightly damp track. Josh Webster of MOMO Megatron Lechner Racing could only do five laps due to an off and a broken fan belt at the end of his first run and was stuck in P27.
"For sure a little bit more would have been possible for us today", team principal Walter Lechner stated. "On the other hand it´s not too bad to have three cars within the Top 6 under these tricky conditions and with such a strong opposition we are facing. Pedersen suddenly turning up in P2 only shows how close it is this year. Of course it´s a bit annoying that our main championship rival Nick Yelloly grabbed pole while Michael Ammermüller is only in P5. But I hope this might still change a bit tomorrow during the race (12.05 p.m., Eurosport)."

An earthquake has left at least two people dead and six others missing at a copper mine in Poland, the owners, KGHM, said on Wednesday.
Five injured workers at the Rudna mine in the southwestern town of Polkowice were taken to hospital but their lives were not in danger, a KGHM spokesperson, Anna Osadczuk told AFP, reports BSS.
"Two bodies have been recovered and the searches continue," she said.
The magnitude 4.4 quake struck deep underground on Tuesday evening near the town of Glogow, the US Geological Survey said.
One of the largest copper mines in the world, the Rudna mine has 11 operating shafts at a depth of around one kilometre (half a mile). It employs 4,400 people and extracts around 12 million tonnes of minerals a year.
According to Reuters, Prime Minister Beata Szydko has canceled the government's weekly sitting and is heading to the mine, her spokesman Rafal Bochenek was quoted by PAP as saying.
At 1213 GMT shares in KGHM were up 0.33 percent. The company said it was too early to assess the damage and costs caused by the accident.
"After the rescuing operation is finished, a special commission with the representatives of the State Mining Authority and KGHM experts will be convened. Only the part of the mine where the accident took place will be halted," a KGHM spokeswoman said.
KGHM is one of the biggest copper and silver producer in the world. Its copper output stood at almost 700,000 tonnes in 2015.

Q: SQLite assembly not copied to output folder for unit testing Problem: SQLite assembly referenced in my DAL assembly does not get copied to the output folder when doing unit tests (Copy local is set to true).
I am working on a .Net 3.5 app in VS2008, with NHibernate & SQLite in my DAL. Data access is exposed through the IRepository interface (repository factory) to other layers, so there is no need to reference NHibernate or the System.Data.SQLite assemblies in other layers.
For unit testing, there is a public factory method (also in my DAL) which creates an in-memory SQLite session and creates a new IRepository implementation. This is also done to avoid have a shared SQLite in-memory config for all assemblies which need it, and to avoid referencing those DAL internal assemblies.
The problem is when I run unit tests which reside a separate project - if I don't add System.Data.SQLite as a reference to the unit test project, it doesn't get copied to the TestResults...\Out folder (although this project references my DAL project, which references System.Data.SQLite, which has its Copy local property set to true), so the tests fail while NHibernate is being configured. If I add the reference to my testing project, then it does get copied and unit tests work.
What am I doing wrong?
[Update]
It seems I've found the answer here: TFS UnitTesting not deploying local copy assembly to test dir when on build server. If I add a reference to that type in some static method in my DAL, it will get copied automatically when I reference the DAL assembly in my tests. This does seem like a hack but IMHO is a cleaner solution than having a separate script since it creates a "real" dependency.
It seems that it also gets copied if I add the SQLite assembly as an additional deployment item to my test run configuration (LocalTestRun.testrunconfig file).
Thanks for your quick answers!

A: Your DAL project references the System.Data.SQLite assembly but this doesn't mean it will get copied to the output folder of the test project especially if it is loaded using reflection by NHibernate. Chances are if you look at the compiled DAL assembly with reflector it doesn't even have it in the referenced assemblies list as it is not used directly by the code. You've already found the solution by referencing it to the unit test project.

A: You could use the Post-build step to copy the dll to your output folder manually.

Q: How can I solve thymeleaf css not found error? How can I  solve thymeleaf css not found error?
The bootstrap.min.css file is located in resources/templates/css/bootstrap.min.css.
The following sources were used to refer to this file.
<head>
     <meta charset="UTF-8">
     <link th:href="@{/css/bootstrap.min.css}"
           href="../css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
     <title>Title</title>
     </style>
</head>

The result rendered on the server is <link href="/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">.
If you access the address
I get an error GET http://localhost:8080/css/bootstrap.min.css net::ERR_ABORTED 404.
How can I solve this problem?
Best Regards

A: Create a directory called static under resources/templates/ and move css directory into it. The css and js should be in a directory called static so that the framework recognises them. The path for the css file should look as follows:
resources/templates/static/css/bootstrap.min.css
