How many different types of trees are there in the world and in Turkey?
The number of tree species in the world is 60,065. The countries with the most tree species in the world are Brazil, Colombia and Indonesia. There are at least 5,000 tree species in these countries. 58% of the world's trees grow in just one region, and there are 184 tree species in Turkey. According to the Forest Atlas of the General Directorate of Forestry, there are 14 common coniferous trees and 39 species of deciduous trees growing in Turkey. So, what types of trees are most common in Turkey?
Cedar, which occurs naturally in the Western, Central and Eastern Taurus, has a small and isolated distribution in the regions of Erbaa and Nixar in the north. The largest natural forests of Taurus cedar, one of the four types of cedar, are found in Turkey. There are 109,440 hectares of cedar forest in our country. The cedar, whose height can reach 40 meters, has the shape of a pyramid when young. However, the top of the tree deteriorates over time and becomes flat.
Although it naturally spreads in our northern regions, the beech tree also spreads in Amanoslar in the south. Forms extensive forests, pure or mixed with fir, spruce, pine and oak. Beech trees, which can be up to 40 meters long, have smooth and cylindrical bodies. The red coloration of its 6-9 cm long elliptical leaves with wavy edges is very showy in autumn. Its oily fruits are an important food source for wild animals in nature.
Scotch pine, which is one of the tree species in Turkey, forms pure or mixed forests in the highlands of Northern Anatolia, but reaches our interior and southern regions as small islands. The area covered by yellow pine forests in our country is 757,426 hectares. It got its name because of the reddish-yellow color of the bark of the trunk, which is divided into plates. It is a tree with a slender trunk, pointed crown and thin branches. Adults exceed 40 meters in length. Apart from the unique color of the bark, the short thin leaves and bluish green color are features that distinguish it from other types of pine at first glance.
It is distributed in the Sea of Marmara, the Western Black Sea region, the Central Taurus and Northern Anatolia. These are densely branched trees with a wide top, which are especially common in the forests of our northern and western regions. They can reach 20-30 meters in length. The leaves, which vary in size from 5 to 10 cm, are usually heart-shaped and curved, with serrated edges and long stems. The drooping inflorescences have a yellowish color and a characteristic smell. These late blooming flowers are dried and drunk like tea.
The sycamore, which is a type of tree in Turkey, grows naturally in streams and stream beds in forested areas. The species common in our country is the eastern plane tree. It can reach 30 meters in length and sometimes 10 meters in trunk circumference. Unlike other types of plane trees, the bark is shed in small particles and slowly. It has large leaves with elliptical lobes and flowers that form globular clusters.
Distributed in almost all regions of our country, depending on the species. There are species ranging from trees with a large crown, which can reach 25 meters in height and 2 meters in diameter, to shrubs 3-5 meters high. The leaves can vary in shape, they are lobed, serrated or with straight edges. In our country, there are 747.856 hectares of groves and 4984.149 hectares of coppice oak forests. Its cylindrical fruits, called acorns, are placed in a glass. There are 18 types of oaks, which are divided into three types: red oaks, white oaks and evergreen oaks according to the anatomical characteristics of their wood.

The firs, which can reach 40 meters in height, are distinguished from other species of the Chamgiller family by their unique shape, needle-like stem bark leaves, and even smell. There are white stripes on the underside of the leaves. When the cones mature in autumn, their scales are shed. There are 213,652 hectares of pure spruce forests in our country.
The juniper, which has a wide variety of species from reptile shrubs to large trees, naturally occurs in the highlands of almost all of our regions. Some have cypress-like scaly leaves and some have stinging needle-like leaves. There are 1,100,492 hectares of pure juniper forests in our country.

As a typical Mediterranean tree, the cedar creates forests, especially in Western and Southern Anatolia. There are 46,490 hectares of pure pine forests in our country. The height of adults is 15-20 meters. It can be distinguished from other pines at a glance by its rounded top when young and umbrella-shaped top when old. Its seeds are quite large. Its seeds, popularly referred to as "pine nuts", are an important source of income for villagers in the Western Anatolia region.
Spruce, belonging to the tree species of Turkey, is common in temperate and cold regions of the northern hemisphere. There are 40 different types of fir trees and their shapes. Although it looks like a spruce from a distance, it can be distinguished from it by its pyramidal top and drooping branches. In length it can reach 40-50 meters. Needle-shaped leaves are short, pointed, quadrangular in cross section. The scales of a mature cone do not diverge.

When a glamorous summer party pops into the calendar, most women in Amal Clooney's position would be straight into consultations with their stylist about which big-name designer's services to call upon. But Clooney has adopted a refreshingly different strategy for many of her most glamorous outings by opting for unique vintage pieces sourced from William Vintage, the Marylebone boutique and online store owned by 'King of Vintage', William Banks-Blaney.
A case in point came last night when Clooney opted for a white fringed dress for a Darfur fundraising party thrown near to the Clooney's own Como abode. With its delicate gold straps and tiers of tassels, Clooney's choice of gown had echoes of a look from an F.Scott Fitzgerald novel and might almost have been plucked from the wardrobe of The Great Gatsby's Daisy Buchanan.
It's not the first time that Clooney has turned to Banks-Blaney's for something suitably dazzling yet unique. Earlier in the summer, she chose a 70s silk printed Valentino maxi dress for another Como get-together, while for the Berlinale International Film Festival in February, Clooney eschewed the 2016 collections in favour of a handpicked a 1980s Yves Saint Laurent dress from William Vintage.
Amal Clooney in vintage Yves Saint Laurent earlier this year.
Earlier this year, Banks-Blaney described his Great Unknown collection as excellent choices for a night out. "A drunk dress doesn't have to have a label," he said, "they were made to have a good night out in, something that it would be impossible to have a row in." Words which seem to fit perfectly with the joyous shots of Amal and her husband George having a royally good time as they arrived by boat at the festivities and then sipped champagne and enjoyed live tunes played by a group of musicians.
While Clooney's life of juggling high profile law work with her marriage to one of Hollywood's most famous actors might seem impossibly unrelatable, her love vintage is something we can (and should) all get on board with. "I love a rummage as much as the next person but we're removing that struggle for people who don't. This is the next stage of vintage shopping," Banks-Blaney explained to The Telegraph when he opened his online store earlier this year. "The beauty of vintage is being able to find your own treasure and feeling a real sense of ownership," Banks-Blaney explains. "There's this thing now where you really desire something but there are 150,000 of them in the world so it seems like everyone has one and then you get sick of it within six months, and everyone recognises it as the last season thing."
Clooney's Twenties look comes just weeks before Woody Allen's latest film Cafe Society is released in cinemas. Centred around the glamour of 1930s Hollywood, starring Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively, the film promises to shine a light on all things decadently Art Deco- feathers, jewels and, yes, fringing.

What About Side Effects From Antipsychotic Medications Used for Schizophrenia?
HealthyPlace.com Staff Writer
Antipsychotic drugs, like virtually all medications, have unwanted side effects along with their beneficial effects. During the early phases of antipsychotic drug treatment, patients may be troubled by side effects such as drowsiness, restlessness, muscle spasms, tremor, dry mouth, or blurring of vision. Most of these can be corrected by lowering the dosage or can be controlled by other medications. Different patients have different treatment responses and side effects of various antipsychotic drugs. A patient may do better with one drug than another.
The long-term side effects of antipsychotic drugs may pose a considerably more serious problem. Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a disorder characterized by involuntary movements most often affecting the mouth, lips, and tongue, and sometimes the trunk or other parts of the body such as arms and legs. It occurs in about 15 to 20 percent of patients who have been receiving the older, "typical" antipsychotic drugs for many years, but TD can also develop in patients who have been treated with these drugs for shorter periods of time. In most cases, the symptoms of TD are mild, and the patient may be unaware of the movements.
Antipsychotic medications developed in recent years all appear to have a much lower risk of producing TD than the older, traditional antipsychotics. The risk is not zero, however, and they can produce side effects of their own such as weight gain. In addition, if given at too high of a dose, the newer medications may lead to problems such as social withdrawal and symptoms resembling Parkinson's disease, a disorder that affects movement. Nevertheless, the newer antipsychotics are a significant advance in treatment, and their optimal use in people with schizophrenia is a subject of much current research.
Another possible serious side effect of atypical antipsychotics is hyperglycemia and diabetes. Many schizophrenia patients taking antipsychotic drugs tend to gain weight and it's not known whether the antipsychotics cause diabetes or it could be that this patient population is already susceptible to type 2 diabetes. In either case, antipsychotic drug labels now carry a warning that glucose levels in patients should be monitored by a physician.

2021 86 K swap K24 New Year
2021 was a wild year to say the least! As you can imagine, the challenges of operating a small business in 2020 rolled right into 2021. Supply chain shortages and rising material costs took a big toll on us this year, but despite it all, we're proud of the way we were still able experience huge growth and push the envelope in the K series community.
While fighting the struggles of 2021, our major project of the year was to bring our K24 FR-S/BRZ/86 swap package to market. Creating a single, perfectly functioning test vehicle was one thing, but putting a 100% complete swap package into production and onto our shelves during a pandemic proved to be the greater challenge.
The end result is unlike anything else on the market: a 100% plug and play, ready to install swap package, down to the wiring and A/C lines. We're still pushing tirelessly to keep up with demand on this new product, and you can already expect to see numerous K swapped 86 race cars throughout the country and world in the 2022 season.
We began 2021 bursting at the seams in our 4900 square foot facility. Inventory, vehicles, CNC machines, and fabrication space were all packed into the shop like sardines. We desperately needed more space. Thankfully, one of our neighbors was moving out in August, so we were able to secure an additional 7400 square feet right next door to our current shop!
We added a couple of doorways to connect both units and reconfigured our layout to accommodate a much more efficient operation with room to grow in 2022 and beyond. The added square footage has been a complete game changer for us.
With the additional space added, we've been able to add more staff and bring even more manufacturing in house. We now have a dedicated wiring harness team, more CNC equipment and staff, and improved fabrication abilities.
We plan to continue this trend so we can have the most control over every aspect of the manufacturing and quality control process.
We have so much to be thankful for as we look back on the last year. Most importantly, we feel so thankful for YOU, our customer. Without your support and desire to spend your hard-earned dollars with us, KPower Industries wouldn't exist. And we especially appreciate the extra level of understanding as we've fought constant backorders and supply chain shortages all year. If you had to wait for product longer than you hoped, just know that we sincerely appreciate your patience as we work tirelessly to catch up on all production.
It's an interesting week to write this blog post too, as half our staff was hit with COVID-19 this past weekend. We've been doing everything possible to stay afloat while we give people time to heal and return to work, but the challenge is real! We're excited to put this chapter behind us and turn the calendar to 2022 and have a fresh, healthy start to a new year.
Again, we can't thank you enough for supporting us this past year, and we can't wait to see what we'll accomplish together in 2022 and beyond!
Happy New Year From Your Friends at KPower:
David, Chris, Jamie, Sarah, Will, John, James, Chandler, Marlo, Julian, Anthony, Tim, and Charlie

Victoria University will open a new international study centre in India later this year. VU India will be located in Ahmedabad, the largest city in the northwest state of Gujarat, and one of India's fastest growing places.
VU's new centre is a three-way collaboration between VU, the Education Centre of Australia (ECA), and Ganpat University, one of India's leading private universities. VU has operated its successful VU Sydney Campus with ECA for many years.
From October, VU India will offer a postgraduate professional information-technology suite of masters courses in project management, enterprise resource planning systems, and business analytics.
The Australian–Indian dual masters award model is one of the first involving an Australian University, in collaboration with a local university partner.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Dawkins said VU India will provide students in India with an opportunity to earn a masters degree from a university recently ranked as one of the top young universities in the world, at a fraction of the cost of studying in Australia.
"VU India will offer the same quality-assured VU curricula and exceptional student experience as our onshore qualifications," Professor Peter Dawkins said.
"Graduates can enhance their employability in the rapidly growing IT field both in India and around the world with internship opportunities and a dual VU-Ganpat University qualification."
The establishment of VU India follows VU's announcement last month to join the India-Australia Sport Partnership and share VU's world-renowned sport expertise and research with India as it aims to establish its first national sport university.
Ganpat University Chancellor Mr Anil Patel, who visited VU this week to officially launch VU India, said the two universities had much in common.
"Excellent education is the only sure path to youth empowerment. The VU and Ganpat dual masters awards will maximise opportunities for many students to achieve their goals," he said.
ECA Chief Executive Officer Mr Rupesh Singh said he was pleased ECA and VU would extend a partnership they developed a decade ago to establish VU's Sydney Campus for international students.
"VU India will provide an exceptional opportunity for students to pursue their academic and career goals at a partnered centre in a country with one of the world's largest student markets," he said.
In the near future, VU India expects to offer other masters courses, in engineering (telecommunications and electrical power); business administration; and applied information technology.
It also plans to have transnational activities between staff, students and researchers at the two universities.
VU India builds on a successful VU-Ganpat program conducted more than five years ago. The program saw some 80 students in India receive a VU masters degree in enterprise resource planning systems, then go on to successful careers in India and abroad.
Study at VU and begin your journey to a successful career in Australia and India.
International engagement is a key focus of our teaching and learning, research and knowledge exchange. View our international partners.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Dawkins joined Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar yesterday to launch a new India-Australia Sport Partnership (IASP).
Victoria University, an Australian leader in sport education and research, is helping India establish its first national sport university as part of a high-level Australian delegation now visiting the country.
VU is one of the largest providers of Australian education outside of Australia, delivering English language courses, diplomas and degrees with international partner institutions across Asia.


In December 2014 the Science and SciLifeLab Prize for young scientists will be awarded for the second time. For Daniel Streicker, the Grand prizewinner of 2013, winning the award has led to new collaborations, a larger research group and new forms of support from his current university.
It was a popular science essay on this work that made Daniel win the Grand prize among four category winners last year, and his essay was published in Science. The prize award was held in the famous Hall of Mirrors at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, the location for the first Nobel Prize ceremony back in 1901. The four winners and representatives from Science visited Stockholm and Uppsala during four days, taking part of an exciting scientific program as well as visiting SciLifeLab in Stockholm and Uppsala.
It all started one day when his PhD-supervisor saw an advertisement for the prize and suggested that he should apply.
"I thought it was a long shot at the time but it seemed like it would be a fun essay to write and I saw it as a good opportunity to advertise my research and myself. It is always nice to create a synthesis of what you have done and put in a broader context, especially with a body of work like a PhD".
Daniel Streicker's research focuses on understanding how pathogens, mainly bat viruses, transmit within and between species. It applies both field- and molecular studies as well as statistical and mathematical models. It also involves a lot of ecology and evolutionary questions, like how evolution allows certain pathogens to succeed jumping between different hosts and how changing patterns of land use in developing countries can affect disease transmission among wildlife, humans and domestic animals.
According to Daniel, the prize has also contributed to how his current university values him. Since the prize award, his lab has grown quickly. A year ago it was just he, a lab technician and a two field assistants – now he leads group of five researchers in Glasgow and is able to support much larger teams for his field work in Peru. Daniel has also joined a second unit within his University and was offered the stability of an open-ended appointment at the end of his current fellowship.
"Moving from my own little PhD project to having more structure with PhD-students and postdocs that I can supervise and collaborate with is really nice. It also allows the research to take new directions, which is very exciting. For example, we are continuing to generate the base of evidence needed to empower science based control of the spread of rabies within vampire bats in Latin America, but also exploring fundamental questions about cross-species transmission and the role of host and pathogen genomics in studying disease ecology".
Daniel Streicker is a Sir Henry Dale Research Fellow at the Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health and Comparative Medicine and the Medical Research Council Centre for Virus Research at the University of Glasgow. His research applies longitudinal field studies, phylogenetics and epidemiological modeling to understand the process by which infectious diseases emerge and establish in new host species. He received his PhD from the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia in 2011 and worked previously as an Emerging Infectious Diseases Fellow at the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

<< Are you better off now? | Are we in Phase Three of the American Civil War? >>
Carbon Tax?
by Bill Becker
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."
That observation by Charles Darwin has interesting implications in these last weeks of the presidential election campaign. It suggests that both candidates may be missing what's most important to keeping America safe, strong and competitive in the years ahead.
Jobs, education, tax reform and energy security all are important, of course. But the key to America's success will be our willingness to adapt to the new realities of the 21st century.
One of those realities is that economic development as we have practiced it, and as it is now being replicated around the world, is rapidly pushing us toward several critical ecological boundaries and has already exceeded others. These boundaries are important not only because they threaten some species and some regions of the world; they're important because exceeding them is an existential threat to continued peace and prosperity. These are not the relatively isolated and repairable environmental problems of the past. They involve global systems that support life, including the oceans, soils and freshwater resources. They also include the atmosphere's ability to absorb man-made pollution without destabilizing the climate. The most available way to manage that risk is to reduce and eventually stop burning oil and coal to fuel economic development.
A central question in this election is whether we will be the architects of our future or its victims, to paraphrase Buckminster Fuller. The United States and its economy are not exempt from the fundamental laws of evolution. We must adapt if we wish to remain the fittest and the strongest of nations.

Q: MySQL View to do a Group by after an Order by the "t_example" table :
id | date
---------------
1  | 2001-05-09
1  | 2005-11-05
1  | 2000-08-19
2  | 2010-10-30
2  | 2002-12-10
2  | 2009-07-29
3  | 2003-02-15
3  | 2012-04-20

I would like to create a view that returns the following result (the max date for each id):
id | date_id
---------------
1  | 2005-11-05
2  | 2010-10-30
3  | 2012-04-20

MySQL don't allow to do a subquery with order by in view, and when I use an other view for the subquery, the group by ignore the order by in the subquery.
The following query returns the expected result:
select id, date
from (select id, date from t_example order by id asc, date_id desc) p
group by p.id

But when I use it in a views it does't work:
view1 (subquery) : select id, date from t_example order by id asc, date_id desc;
view2 : select id, date from view1 group by view1.id;

Is there any other solution?

A: This should work for you
SELECT id, MAX(date) AS date FROM t_example GROUP BY id;

This is using the AS syntax to keep your column name succinct (otherwise it would be MAX(date))

A: select id,max(date)
from your_table
group by id

Which Vegas show-Lance Burton or Blueman?
We're planning on seeing one show this August with 2 14 yr old boys and have narrowed it down to either Lance Burton or Blueman group. The boys say they enjoy magic, but I'm wondering if they might enjoy Blueman Group more. For those who've been to both, which you you recommned for a more entertaining evening? Are they comparable in price?
I would vote Lance Burton.
I have not been to either of these. However, I have heard lots of reviews that say they are both great. I think Blue Man may cost more. My family recently saw Blue Man and enjoyed it, but they said it wasn't worth the money. I think Lance Burton may have more variety.
Again these are just my thoughts based on hearing lots of friends' opinions.
Personally I would go to Danny Gans!
I would vote Blue Man Group for sure! To be honest though, I haven't seen the other show. Just wondering - did the pp's family see blue man group as a permanent show or the touring show? The touring show is horrible and completely different (andnot worth the money at all!) than the permanent shows in NY and Vegas (and Chicago too I think?) which I loved and would see again.
2 14 yr old boys would absolutely love the Blue Man Group show hands down! Esp in Vegas and interacting with the performance. They'll love the music, light/sound effects. BMG is worth the ticket price. If you go, hang out around the hallways and wait until they come out and get your picture taken w/ autograph (blue thumb print).
correction: you take your own pictures w/ your own camera so it's free afterwards and they just autograph your program or ticket stub. There is no picture taking allowed in the theatre.
My husband and 13-year old son just saw Blue Man Group in Las Vegas over spring break and my son is still talking about how much he loved it! It was one of the highlights of their trip.
I don't know how the prices compare. Blue Man has their own website where you can check prices for the night that you're interested in.
I saw both shows recently in Las Vegas, JLBRN.
The Lance Burton magic show was delightful - and reasonably priced! He's a very friendly, gentle person who puts on a good, wholesome show. I sure couldn't figure out how he managed some of his magic illusions.
The Blue Man Group was very expensive (i.e. over-priced). The action was essentially silly, with a lot of slapstick. The performers do a lot of hitting each other on the head with truncheons, there is very loud (i.e. dangerously loud) music, water being squirted into the audience, and similar commotion going on.
Which is better for teenage boys? Heaven only knows! You do too, I imagine. Curtain time; enjoy the show!
I've seen both shows and hands down, I liked Lance Burton MUCH more! But then again, it might be different for teenage boys. I've always thought that Blue Man Group is way overpriced for what you get and the show is not really that good. I mean, the guys don't even talk!! People have agreed that what they do is somewhat "stupid" comedy. I think it's more of a fad that so many people go to see them. Ask people if they would go back to see them again and I think you'll have your answer. I believe the tickets are pretty much the same as Lance Burton, maybe slighly higher.
If you like magic and illusions, you'll love Lance Burton. I think it's a much better deal.
Saw Burton last month. Very good. But if you're going to be in Vegas you must see Eau or Mystere...or both. They are expensive but you will not regret it and perfect for 14 year olds. Eau is at Belagio's and Mystere at Treasure Island. Get tickets in advance.
Blueman Blueman Blueman!!!! We took my daughters aged 12 and 16 there last summer and honestly it was the highlight of their trip. It is so different and innovative and we laughed until we hurt!
A word of warning though. I have heard that it is very much a love it or hate it deal with this show - depends how much you like traditional magic - personally I find Lance Burton terribly cheesy!
Jonathan, Lance Burton are all excellent shows. Even the female impersonator show is better.
We have seen over a dozen shows and Blue Man is stupid. I was sick that I paid $500 for this show.
I should have added a warning to my last post. Amazing Jonathan does contain offensive language, however nothing your boys have not heard on the bus or in the locker room at school. The other shows I mentioned are family friendly.
Cool!!! I'm not alone. Blue Man Group is good, but not $100/person good. I've read a lot about this guy Mac King. Anybody else seen his act?
That's a tough once since you indicate they like magic. However, if I didn't know that I would definitely say Blue Man Group. They won't stop talking about it! Yikes, I see you're going in August so maybe you already have tix. Have a great time!
I agree with my brother in law--the first 10 minutes of the Blueman show is great. The rest is a yawn.
Tix are already bought....for Lance Burton. We're going in 3 weeks. I DO think the boys would've enjoyed Bueman, but I was being selfish. It didn't sound appealing at all to me.
I think you made the right choice. A cheaper & better alternative to Blueman is Stomp. Another show the boys would certainly enjoy is the Amazing Jonathan.
I find the shows in Las Vegas for the most part to be overpriced, but Lance Burton's was a good show & well worth it. We also enjoyed Jubilee at Bally's but of course, not for 14-year olds.
Did NOT really enjoy any of the Cirque shows there - none were as good as the one we saw on Randall's Island a couple of years ago.
I know the tickets have already been bought...but I would have gone to Blue Man Group for several reasons. Sometimes (a lot of times) in Vegas kids (under 21) feel as though they don't belong and they may get bored with the casino midway areas. Blue Man Group is probably the PERFECT show for teenage boys. I have seen almost all the shows here and I can't think of any other one that they would probably walk away from that "they" really enjoyed. My husband loved it, I thought it was "ok"...starting to see the picture (might be a guy thing). Don't want to give anything away but the mess that is made during the show and especially at the end (TP) they would have loved. I liked Lance Burton, but it still was not the best show in town. Someone recommended the cirque shows, I would not for teenage boys, they will think it is too artsy.
I'm the original poster who just returned from Vegas and thought I'd mention I found the Lance Burton show to be cheesy and lackluster. I was afraid the boys would agree and would be disappointed with the evening....but they loved it! They even got to participate on stage and are still 'studying" the magic DVD Lance gave them as a parting gift.


As a developer, you work with a lot of text resources: the source code in the editor, search results, debugger information, console input and output, and so on. Colors and font styles are used to format this text and help you better understand it at a glance.
GoLand uses color schemes that define the preferred colors and fonts.
A color scheme is not the same as the interface theme, which defines the appearance of windows, dialogs, and controls.
You can use a predefined color scheme or customize it to your liking. It is also possible to share schemes.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the Settings/Preferences dialog and then go to Editor | Color Scheme.
Use the Scheme list to select a color scheme.
Default: color scheme designed for the Light theme.
Darcula: color scheme designed for the Darcula theme.
High contrast: color scheme designed for users with sight deficiency (the High contrast theme).
If you install a plugin with a color scheme, that scheme will be added to the list of predefined schemes. For more information, see Share color schemes.
Select a color scheme, click , and then click Duplicate.
(Optional) To rename your custom scheme, click and select Rename.
Predefined color schemes are listed in bold font. If you customize a predefined color scheme, it will be displayed in blue. To restore a predefined color scheme to default settings, click and select Restore Defaults. You cannot remove predefined color schemes.
To define color and font settings, expand the Editor | Color Scheme section in the Settings/Preferences dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S). The settings are separated into sections. For example, the General section defines basic editor colors, such as, the gutter, line numbers, errors, warnings, popups, hints, and so on. The Language Defaults section contains common syntax highlighting settings, which are applied to all supported programming languages by default. In most cases, it is sufficient to configure Language Defaults and make adjustments for specific languages if necessary. To change inherited color settings for an element, clear the Inherit values from checkbox.
By default, the color scheme defines syntax highlighting for reserved words and other symbols in your source code: operators, keywords, suggestions, string literals, and so on. If you have a function or method with many parameters and local variables, it may be hard to distinguish them from one another at a glance. You can use semantic highlighting to assign a different color to each parameter and local variable.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the Settings/Preferences dialog and then go to Editor | Color Scheme | Language Defaults | Semantic highlighting.
Select the Semantic highlighting checkbox and customize the color ranges if necessary.
This will enable semantic highlighting for all languages that inherit this setting from Language Defaults. To enable it for a specific language instead, for example, Java, open Editor | Color Scheme | Java | Semantic highlighting in the Settings/Preferences dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S), clear the Inherit values from checkbox, and select the Semantic highlighting checkbox.
If you are used to a specific color scheme, you can export it from one installation and import it to another one. You can also share color schemes with other developers.
GoLand can save your color scheme settings as an XML file with the .icls extension. You can then import the file to another installation.
Use the Scheme list to select a color scheme, click , click Export, and then click IntelliJ IDEA color scheme (.icls).
Specify the name and location of the file and save it.
The plugin can be uploaded to the plugin repository for others to install. This format has several benefits over an XML file, including metadata, feedback, download statistics, and versioning (when you upload a new version of the plugin, users will be notified about it).
Use the Scheme list to select a color scheme, click , click Export, and then click Color scheme plugin (.jar).
In the Create Color Scheme Plugin dialog, specify the version details and vendor information. Then click OK.
When you install a plugin with a color scheme, that scheme will be added to the list of predefined schemes.
Use the Scheme list to select a color scheme, click , and then click Import Scheme.
To customize the default font, open the page of GoLand settings (Ctrl+Alt+S). This font is used and inherited in all color schemes by default.
You can set a different font for your current scheme.
This is not recommended if you are planning to share your scheme or use it on other platforms, which may not support the selected font. In such cases, use the default global font settings.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the Settings/Preferences dialog and then go to Editor | Color Scheme | Color Scheme Font.
Select the Use color scheme font instead of the default checkbox.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the Settings/Preferences dialog and then go to Editor | Color Scheme | Console Font.
Select the Use console font instead of the default checkbox.
You can navigate to the relevant color scheme settings for the symbol under the caret using the Jump to Colors and Fonts action. Press Ctrl+Shift+A and start typing the action name to find and execute it.
The Jump to Colors and Fonts action does not have a default shortcut. To assign a shortcut for it, select it and press Alt+Enter.

App Ecosystem Sustains Hypergrowth; NBCU Attempts Balancing Act With Peacock
by AdExchanger // Thursday, January 16th, 2020 – 12:03 am
Here's today's AdExchanger.com news round-up… Want it by email? Sign up here.
Mobile apps earned $190 billion in ad revenue in 2019 and are forecast to surpass $240 billion this year, according to App Annie's annual report. App stores made $120 billion from in-app and app download payments, with 72% coming from gaming apps and half of all spending originating in China. TikTok in particular had a standout year, with 14.5 billion hours of time spent in app and audience growth of 200% in Q4 2019 alone. But the app is still a bigger force in China, which accounts for 90% of its time spent. Non-gaming apps are growing as well, especially in the entertainment sector with the launch of new streaming services, Bloomberg reports. Apple's app store brought in 79% of revenue while Google's Android netted 21%, with a majority coming from subscription apps like Netflix and Tinder. Overall, the use of mobile apps doubled between 2017 and 2019. More.
Streaming Dreams
NBCUniversal has been quiet about its plans for Peacock, the soon-to-launch streaming video offering. The service will be mostly ad-supported and is free for Comcast subscribers, as well as potentially other cable owners (cord-havers?). NBCU is also playing it relatively safe on programming expenditures, with a $2 billion total budget for Peacock's first two years. By contrast, Disney Plus will spend $2.5 billion and Netflix will spend $13 billion on just the next year's programming alone, not including other mountainous line items like marketing and operations. And unlike Disney, which packed everything it could into Disney Plus, NBCU has been careful to reserve new and prime-time programming for its networks. "NBCU Chairman Steve Burke has told people close to him that he doesn't see how Disney is going to make money from Disney Plus," The Information reports. More.
Give Data To Get Data
California's new privacy law gives residents the right to request all the data a company has on them. But the cost to obtain that data is … more data. For instance, companies that verify data requests ask consumers to send photos of their licenses or approved IDs, as well as taking multiple pictures with responses to prompts such as "look happier" (showing they're actual people, not a faked image or video). But there's good reason for the added security, The New York Times reports. Europe's GDPR law has been taken advantage of by hackers who used personal data requests from subscription companies such as Spotify to obtain home addresses and credit card information. "Regulators need to think more about the unintended consequences of empowering individuals to access and delete their data," said Steve Kirkham, who worked on Airbnb's trust and safety team before founding the identity verification company Berbix. "A lot of people don't want to give more information," he said. "Their assumption is that you will do something nefarious with it." More.

Kāinga Ngā rongo kōrero me ngā mahi Ā ngā Minita pānui Passchendaele remembered here and overseas
Passchendaele remembered here and overseas
Ministers' release: 3 October 2017
Commemorations to mark one of New Zealand's darkest days will be held in New Zealand and Belgium this month to remember the Battle of Passchendaele.
Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister Maggie Barry says the commemorative programme reflects on New Zealand's involvement in the fighting around Passchendaele between 1 and 18 October 1917.
"Passchendaele on 12 October 1917 is still known as one of the greatest disasters in New Zealand's history – when 843 men died in a single day. This devastating loss of life remains the highest one-day death toll suffered by New Zealand forces overseas," Ms Barry says.
"During the Third Battle of Ypres, which included Passchendaele, New Zealand lost nearly 2,000 men. We'll remember them and all who fought in Belgium."
In Wellington the commemorations will begin at 3pm on October 12 at the Pukeahu National War Memorial Park.
"Immediately after the national ceremony, a memorial gifted to New Zealand by the Belgian Government will be unveiled on the eastern terraces at the Park. The Last Post will be held at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at 5pm," Ms Barry says.
"The ceremony in Belgium will take place at 11am local time at the Tyne Cot Cemetery near Zonnebeke and will be attended by His Royal Highness , the Duke of Cambridge on behalf of the Queen and Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid of Belgium on behalf of King Philippe."
New Zealand will be represented by Hon Dr Nick Smith and Rt Hon David Carter.
"This is the largest Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery in the world and contains the graves of 520 New Zealanders. Our 'Memorial to the Missing' in the cemetery lists the names of others who died in the Battles of Passchendaele," Ms Barry says.
The New Zealand Passchendaele Centennial Memorial and Garden in Belgium will also be opened as part of the commemorations at 3pm local time.
"I want to commend Chris Mullane, Mike Pritchard and many others from the Passchendaele Society in New Zealand, who've worked so hard over so many years to have this memorial garden built. I planted the first flax there in 2016 and I know it is a fitting memorial telling our poignant New Zealand story'" Ms Barry says.
Ceremonies will conclude at sunset at Buttes New British Cemetery in Polygon Wood where 95 Kiwis are buried and where the New Zealand 'Memorial to the Missing' records the names of 388 New Zealanders who died near there but have no known grave.
"A group of senior secondary school students, who won the joint Ministry of Education, Fields of Remembrance Trust and the Passchendaele Society digital competition, will be attending the commemorations in Belgium. They will also attend the New Zealand Memorial and Garden," Ms Barry says.

From Faulkner County Sheriff's Office reports
Conway man reports suspicious package
Authorities took a suspicious package to the sheriff's office Monday afternoon after an Acklin Gap resident reported the strange box.
According to an incident report, deputy Baylee Barden was called to a residence in the 650 block of Acklin Gap Road shortly after 1:30 p.m. Monday regarding the suspicious package.
The homeowner told Barden he was concerned the package contained "drug-related items" because it had his brother's name on it. According to the man's statement, his brother, who hasn't lived at the address in question since November, has ordered suspicious packages in the past.
According to the report, the man recalled his brother previously ordering a package containing "Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds," which are a psychedelic.
Upon the complainant's request, Barden took the package to the sheriff's office and placed it in the evidence room for safekeeping, the report states.
Woman stalked by ex-fiance
A Guy resident called the sheriff's office Wednesday morning regarding a possible harassment issue involving her ex-fiance.
Authorities spoke with the complainant via phone shortly before 10 a.m. Wednesday and learned the woman's ex-fiance had possibly bugged her computer, according to an incident report.
The 48-year-old woman told deputy David Ross that she and her ex-fiance split up about a year ago but that she believes he hacked her computer and has been stalking her.
The 38-year-old suspect reportedly hacked the woman's phone and began tracking it about a year ago, forcing the complainant to get a new phone, the woman said. The woman told authorities Wednesday morning that she has since "found an app on her computer [where the suspect] is hacking into her computer and can see everything she is doing."
The woman also told deputy Ross the constant harassment and stalking "is causing her stress" and that she has since sought counseling.
Ross gave the complainant the incident number associated with the report following Wednesday's incident and told the woman how to file misdemeanor charges against her ex-fiance, according to the report.
Quitman resident reportedly stabbed during struggle with wife
A Quitman man fled to the Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services substation on Brannon Road after his wife reportedly stabbed him Wednesday evening.
The Faulkner County Sheriff's Office was called to the MEMS substation on Brannon Road around 6 p.m. Wednesday after the 22-year-old man showed up seeking help from paramedics, according to an incident report.
The 22-year-old told police his 21-year-old wife kicked him out of their home earlier that evening. As he was gathering his belongings, the suspect locked the 22-year-old out of their Highway 225 East residence. After he found out he'd been locked out, the alleged victim said he proceeded to kick in the couple's front door when his wife "stabbed him in the lower left side."
When he showed up at the MEMS substation, paramedics immediately told the man he needed medical help and that he would need stitches, the report states.
Deputy Terry Roper noted in his report that while the 22-year-old "stated multiple times he did not want to press charges," authorities began searching for the man's wife.
Sheriff's deputies learned later that night that the victim's wife was admitted into the labor and delivery department at the Conway Regional Medical Center following the incident, according to the report. The woman was released from the hospital shortly after 10:30 p.m., and she was subsequently questioned about the alleged stabbing.
The woman told police she believes her husband was accidentally stabbed, adding that soon after he kicked in the front door at their home, she tried to hug him but he instead pushed her away. The woman said the knife was in the 22-year-old's pocket throughout the entire incident and believes "the motion" of him pushing her away "is what caused the injury," according to her statement.
After questioning the woman about the incident, authorities drove her back to her vehicle and also asked the 22-year-old to contact the sheriff's office upon his release from the hospital so they could gather more information about the incident, the report states.
According to the report, the 22-year-old underwent surgery following the stabbing.

TV | CHANNEL SURF
Terrorists and prison breaks; "Secrets of Prefectural Residents"; CM of the week: Family Mart
Criminality is the theme of this week's two-hour special edition of "Jitsuroku Sekai no Mystery" ("True Accounts of World Mysteries"; TV Tokyo, Mon., 9 p.m.). The main segment recounts a terrorist incident. On Dec. 11, 1994, Philippine Airlines Flight 434 was en route from Cebu to Narita when a bomb exploded, killing one Japanese man and injuring 10 others. The pilot was able to land the aircraft safely. The device had been planted by a famous international terrorist traveling under a false name who had been on the previous leg of the flight.
The special also looks at the daring escape of two convicts from one of New York's maximum-security prisons in 2000. Though the escape was amazing enough, the story of what happened to the two men later is even more astounding.
Many Japanese terms utilize foreign words for unique meanings. "American coffee" describes a weaker brew and has no cognate in the U.S., unless you consider all American coffee weak by definition.
The variety show "Himitsu no Kenmin Show" ("Secrets of Prefectural Residents Show"; Nippon TV, Thurs., 9:50 p.m.) looks at dishes with foreign names and discovers that many don't exist in the associated countries. The characters for "tenshin rice" are the same as those for the Chinese city of Tianjin, but the dish, fried rice covered by a dome of fried egg, is Japanese in origin. And what about "Naporitan" spaghetti? Was it really imported from Naples? Is "Toruko rice" actually Turkish? The show looks at local versions of such seemingly non-Japanese dishes.
CM of the week
Family Mart: As Japan's third-biggest convenience-store chain, Family Mart has to try harder; and on the advertising front it makes the biggest impression due to its savvy use of female idols. Last year it hired K-pop girl group Kara before the group's star began to fade in Japan, and this summer utilized virtual idol Hatsune Miku while "she" was being covered by the foreign press.
Now, they've got the hippest idol group of the moment, Momoiro Clover Z, shilling Famima's fried chicken in a new CM complete with appropriately silly headgear and a catchy song, "Kichin to Chikin" ("Exactly Chicken"). At the end of the ad the five members are placed in a box, like pieces of chicken, ready to be consumed.

The Penelopiad: The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus

In Homer's account in The Odyssey, Penelope - wife of Odysseus and cousin of the beautiful Helen of Troy - is portrayed as the quintessential faithful wife, her story a salutary lesson through the ages. Left alone for twenty years when Odysseus goes off to fight in the Trojan war after the abduction of Helen, Penelope manages, in the face of scandalous rumours, to maintain the kingdom of Ithaca, bring up her wayward son, and keep over a hundred suitors at bay, simultaneously. When Odysseus finally comes home after enduring hardships, overcoming monsters and sleeping with goddesses, he kills her suitors and - curiously - twelve of her maids.
In a splendid contemporary twist to the ancient story, Margaret Atwood has chosen to give the telling of it to Penelope and to her twelve hanged Maids, asking: "What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to?" In Atwood's dazzling, playful retelling, the story becomes as wise and compassionate as it is haunting, and as wildly entertaining as it is disturbing. With wit and verve, drawing on the storytelling and poetic talent for which she herself is renowned, she gives Penelope new life and reality - and sets out to provide an answer to an ancient mystery.

The story itself wasn't that much of a story. It was OK.
Written by Trudy on October 13th, 2007
I can't review this book because I couldn't listen to it. It arrived too damaged to play - cracked completely through. I've managed to listen to two books out of three so far - not very impressive. I'm not sure if I want to continue my subscription.
an updat of an old tale
Written by Susan Scarcliff on August 22nd, 2006
I enjoyed this book. I like the woman's view. I wand to read or listen to the Odyssey
Would be a great read, but not a great listen
Written by Leslie Hauser on December 27th, 2005
The concept behind this book (the Odyssey from Penelope's point of view) is great, and a nice departure for Atwood. However, I found this very difficult to listen to in the car. Production is good, but the story is a bit disjointed , and sometimes written in the style of the Odyssey. I would try it again in paper, not audio.
Margaret Eleanor Atwood was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in 1939. She moved with her family to Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, in 1945 and to Toronto, Canada, in 1946. Until she was eleven she spent half of each year in the northern Ontario wilderness, where her father worked as an entomologist (insect scientist). Her writing was one of the many things she enjoyed in her "bush" time, away from school. At age six she was writing morality plays, poems, comic books, and had started a novel. School and preadolescence brought her a taste for home economics. Her writing resurfaced in high school, though, where she returned to writing poetry. Her favorite writer as a teen was Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849), who was famous for his dark mystery stories.
Atwood was sixteen years old when she made her commitment to pursue writing as a lifetime career. She studied at Victoria College, University of Toronto, where she received a bachelor's degree in 1961. Then she went on to complete her master's degree at Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1962. Atwood also studied at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from 1962 to 1963 and from 1965 to 1967.
Atwood has received more than fifty-five awards, including two Governor General's Awards, the first in 1966 for The Circle Game, her first major book of poems; the second for her 1985 novel, The Handmaid's Tale, which was made into a movie. In 1981 she worked on a television drama, Snowbird, and had her children's book Anna's Pet (1980) adapted for stage (1986). Her recognition is often reflective of the wide range of her work. She is also a major public figure and cultural commentator.
Most of Atwood's fiction has been translated into several foreign languages. A new Atwood novel becomes a Canadian, American, and international bestseller immediately. There is a Margaret Atwood Society, a Margaret Atwood Newsletter, and an ever-increasing number of scholars studying and teaching her work in women's studies courses and in North American literature courses worldwide.
Style and statement
Atwood has alternated prose (writing that differs from poetry due to lack of rhyme and closeness to everyday speech) and poetry throughout her career, often publishing a book of each in the same or consecutive years. While in a general sense the poems represent "private" myth and "personal" expression and the novels represent a more public and "social" expression, there is, as these dates suggest, continual interweaving and cross-connection between her prose and her poetry. The short story collections, Dancing Girls (1977), Bluebeard's Egg (1983), and especially the short stories in the remarkable collection Murder in the Dark (1983) bridge the gap between her poetry and her prose.
Atwood writes in an exact, vivid, and witty, style in both prose and poetry. Her writing is often unsparing in its gaze at pain and unfairness: "you fit into me / like a hook into an eye / a fish hook / an open eye" (from Power Politics) "Nature" in her poems is a haunted, clearly Canadian wilderness in which, dangerously, man is the major predator of and terror to the "animals of that country," including himself.
Atwood's novels are sarcastic jabs at society as well as identity quests. Her typical heroine is a modern urban woman, often a writer or artist, always with some social-professional commitment. The heroine fights for self and survival in a society where men are the all-too-friendly enemy, but where women are often participants in their own entrapment.
Atwood is also a talented photographer and watercolorist. Her paintings are clearly descriptive of her prose and poetry and she did, on occasion, design her own book covers. Her collages and cover for The Journals of Susanna Moodie bring together the visual and the written word.
Popular and accessible
Atwood is known as a very accessible writer. One of her projects, the official Margaret Atwood Website, is edited by Atwood herself and updated frequently. The Internet resource is an extensive, comprehensive guide to the literary life of the author. It also reveals a peek into Atwood's personality with the links to her favorite charities, such as the Artists Against Racism site, or humorous blurbs she posts when the whim hits. As well, the site provides dates of lectures and appearances, updates of current writing projects, and reviews she has written. The address is: http://www.owtoad.com
Margaret Atwood's contribution to Canadian literature was most recently recognized in 2000, when she received Britain's highest literary award, the $47,000 Booker Prize. Atwood donated the prize money to environmental and literary causes. Her generosity is not at all a surprising development to her many fans.

Sessions' exit was expected for weeks amid Trump's attacks over Sessions' decision to rescue himself from the Justice Department's inquiry into Russia's meddling with the 2016 election.
With Sessions out, the attorney general's chief of staff Matthew Whitaker will serve as interim attorney general.
Sessions' departure comes after Trump's intense press conference one day after the midterm elections, in which Democrats took back the House.
Why did President Trump fire Jeff Sessions?
Even though Sessions was one of Trump's earliest supporters, the president has been laser-focused on targeting Sessions, going as far as appearing to completely disassociate Sessions with the administration.
Trump has attacked Sessions in interviews, tweets, and press conferences as "beleaguered" and often expressing "disappointment" in his attorney general.
What does Sessions' firing mean for the Russia investigation and Robert Mueller?
Sessions' ouster immediately moves oversight of the ongoing investigation to interim successor Whitaker, who once called for the inquiry to be dramatically scaled back.
That – and Trump's abrupt dismissal of FBI Director James Comey in May – prompted the appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as the Justice Department's special counsel to direct the inquiry.
With Whitaker at the helm, it was not immediately clear what it meant for Mueller's future.
Who is interim Attorney General Matthew Whitaker?
Among Whitaker's possible posts included No. 2 at Justice or as White House counsel. Whitaker had served as Sessions' chief of staff since October 2017.
Whitaker, in a 2017 article published by CNN before joining the Justice Department, called on Rosenstein to "limit the scope" of Mueller's investigation and block review of Trump's family finances.
How did Jeff Sessions react to the news of his firing?
In a resignation letter sent to the president, Sessions thanked Trump "for the opportunity" to be attorney general. He also listed what he considered his accomplishments during his tenure.
What are the Democrats saying about Sessions' ousting?
"I find the timing very suspect," Schumer said.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called Trump's move a clear effort to derail Mueller's probe.
