One of the uniquely American traits observed at the founding of our country was the propensity for creating associations.
We've just never been very good at shuttering them.
Instead of celebrating a mission well accomplished and retiring them, we tend to keep them hanging around on life support while desperately scrounging to find another "parade" hoping it can leap in front and lead the band.
Instead, as we foster new, more relevant organizations, we weigh them down with those that have outlived their relevance rather than giving them a proper burial.
I am not referring to a failure to evolve or repurpose. I'm referring to organizations made obsolete either by the successful completion of their mission or eclipsed by paradigm shifts.
In a twist of irony, the failure to let go of outdated organizations is often due to the fact that those involved with these transitions fail to understand patterns or distinctions.
Take cable television for example. Now caught on the obsolete side of a paradigm shift, it hastened its demise during the paradigm shift it created decades ago by then dragging along the baggage from outdated broadcast notions of advertising.
I first became aware of this phenomena in the early 1970s as I began what would be a four-decade career in community destination marketing and found a layer of tourism-related organizations across the country back then that seemed superfluous.
They had words such as "association" or "council in the name. A few had "travel industry" even though it was already clear there is no such thing.
Travel is a sector of at least six distinct industries (plural) that have only one thing in common. They share the traveling public or visitors as customers.
Some of these organizations were statewide and a handful were regional, as in "Pacific Northwest." While nearly all had only formed in the 1950s, they were all struggling for membership.
That meant pleading to community destination marketing organizations to keep them alive.
It caused me to examine and wonder how they all came to be obsolete in less than two decades, meaning they had lost appeal and relevance to their original constituency, a condition I found repeated in each of the three states in which I worked before retiring.
In fact, in retirement I still run across states that are trying to keep these organizations on life support nearly 50 years now after they should have been phased out.
Communities first formed Destination Marketing Organizations way back in 1896 along the routes of various railroads, inspired and adapted, in fact, from the destination marketing railroads had done for National Parks.
It was during the Progressive Era when cities and towns began to realize the importance of being culturally and scenically attractive. This was also when the notion of leisure became more acceptable.
These earliest destination marketing pioneers also understood from observing railroad marketing that the true future of travel was point to point, not serially from one community to the next.
From 1897-1915, most tourism was in the form of attending conventions and expositions, that is until an avid Pierce Arrow enthusiast, President Woodrow Wilson, changed things in 1916 by incentivizing the states to begin building or cobbling together roadways.
That's when the paradigm shift to community destination marketing organizations took off as automobiles made tourism mainstream in the late 1920s and early 1930s, opening the way for many more towns and cities to benefit.
There was just one problem, though, well actually two.
As public roads were built or cobbled together into highways back then they were immediately blighted by billboards, often with one coming into view every 4 to 5 seconds even at the relatively slow 35-45 mile per hour speed limits back then.
Many governors such as O. Max Gardner in North Carolina commissioned surveys of roadsides, such as the 1930 report for his state at this link.
These scenic, or lack thereof, surveys led to billboard restrictions inspired by those that had been pioneered in Massachusetts under conservative Republican Governor Calvin Coolidge.
All of this concern about scenic preservations along roadways brought tourism front and center because citizens and businesses speaking out against billboards across the country were often led by those owning tourism-related businesses such as in the 1930s editorial at this link.
But communities in North Carolina and many other states still lacked the capacity or interest to form tourism promotion organizations so states began to fill the void.
To provide an umbrella until their respective communities were ready to go after tourism, states such as North Carolina after 1935 added visitor attractions to their highway maps and formed what were called advertising divisions.
These state efforts would serve as a sort of filter until specific areas for visitation were identified. They still basically serve that function today.
But this early tourism marketing was premature and doomed to backfire, unless states could become visitor-ready by first restoring the scenic character of roadsides and conducting in-depth inventories of things for visitors to see and do.
Fortunately, between 1937 and 1941, the federal government stepped in again, just as as World War II was set to unfold.

The peak monarch butterfly migration recently reached northern Mexico, just 500 miles from their final winter destination in the transvolcanic mountain range of central Mexico. Monarch aficionados worried that Hurricane Patricia would decimate the migrating butterfly population, but the storm weakened and the butterflies detoured into ravines for protection. There has been a lot of worry about monarchs this year, with new reports that the number of overwintering monarchs in Mexico has dropped 90% over the past two decades. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is reviewing a petition to list monarchs as an endangered species.
Positive steps to conserve monarch breeding habitat and increase monarch populations are underway. In May, a federal inter-agency task force released its strategy to promote pollinator health; increasing monarch butterfly populations is one of its three major goals. The USFWS has launched a campaign to support planting of new monarch habitat across their breeding range. Virginia Master Naturalists have been doing their part as well, using their volunteer time to educate youth and adults about monarchs, to contribute data on monarchs to several large-scale citizen science studies, and to plan and plant milkweed habitat for monarchs and other pollinators in their communities. Here we highlight just a few of the many monarch projects underway in our VMN chapters.

Virginia Master Naturalists and other partners are working with the Virginia Department of Transportation to identify suitable roadside areas that could support pollinator habitat. In one example, Susan Walton (VMN volunteer – Peninsula Chapter) partnered with Gloucester VDOT Superintendent Kevin Sears to protect three patches of milkweed along Route 17. Thanks to advice and education provided by Susan, Mr. Sears changed the mowing pattern so that the milkweed patches were not mowed in the summer. While one patch was accidently mowed, in the other two areas the milkweed bloomed and provided nectar and homes for pollinators throughout the summer. The mowed patch grew back to provide young milkweed for the fall monarch migration. VDOT has a Pollinator Habitat Program that they are working to implement statewide, starting with a new planting of more than 8,000 pollinator-friendly plants at the Dale City Rest Area on I-95. Leaders for the project are interested in receiving suggestions for locations where roadside pollinator plants could be located and in recruiting volunteers to help with future efforts.

In 2013 the Historic Rivers and Peninsula Master Naturalists partnered with Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) to help teachers and students plan, build, and plant a monarch waystation at ten elementary schools and one high school. Since that time they have had additional schools request their help in creating outdoor classrooms/pollinator habitats for a total of twenty-three schools. Last year, those schools tagged approximately 650 monarch butterflies that were gathered from the school gardens. Many were raised in the classroom enabling students the awesome experience of watching the monarchs go through their transformation from egg to adult butterfly. Some of the schools took on the additional task of testing the monarchs for a protozoan parasite in partnership with the University of Georgia. The project is on track this year to tag another 600+ as they journey to Mexico. Many of the schools have enlarged their gardens focusing on habitat for birds and frogs. The Virginia Master Naturalist and VCE Master Gardener volunteers continue to work with the teachers and students providing expertise in planning additions to the garden and more importantly, helping with hands-on lessons for the students.
Boone's Mill Elementary School students plant pollinator habitats on their school grounds with help from Virginia Master Naturalist volunteers.
Across the state in Franklin County, VMN volunteers Meg and Rich Brager (Blue Ridge Foothills and Lakes Chapter) assist teachers with an afterschool Junior Master Naturalist (JMN) Program for fourth and fifth graders. This year the program focused on monarch butterflies. Each meeting with the children teaches a different aspect of the monarch life cycle. In one session with the students this fall, volunteers guided them through weeding two existing at the school, preparing the soil for new plantings, and planting pollinator plants and seeds in the beds. Planting locations were carefully documented so that students can make periodic observations on how each plant is doing.
The new raised bed was financed by and built by the Skelton 4-H Center supervised by Amber Wilson. The Smith Mountain Lake Association also provided funding for the project.

Monitoring monarch populations is an important part of their conservation, as we need to understand how the populations are changing and if efforts to provide more habitat are making a difference. There are numerous large-scale citizen science projects focused on monarchs, such as Journey North, Monarch Watch, and the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project, and VMN volunteers are engaged in many of these projects. The VMN Pocahontas Chapter sent a copy of a letter recently sent to Governor Terry McAuliffe, who had visited Pocahontas State Park on Earth Day 2015 to help put in a monarch butterfly habitat.
We are writing to update you on the Monarch Butterfly Garden you initiated in Pocahontas State Park on Earth Day, April 22, 2015. As Virginia Master Naturalists active in the park, we have been monitoring the garden weekly for monarch activity and entering data into the national Monarch Larva Monitoring Project database. The Monarch Larva Monitoring Project (MLMP) is a citizen science project involving volunteers in monarch research. It was developed by the University of Minnesota to collect long-term data on milkweed habitat and larval monarch populations, with the goal of understanding spatial and temporal variation in monarch populations. It aids monarch conservation and increases the understanding of butterfly ecology. As part of this research, we measured milkweed plants and noted the size and general condition of each plant, the presence of predatory insects, and the development of buds, flowers and seed pods. Our garden is one of only nine sites in Virginia participating in the national database for 2015.
We have also registered the garden with Monarch Watch, a project of the University of Kansas that is focused on preserving monarch habitats by creating waystations throughout the migration pathways. The garden at Pocahontas State Park has now been successfully certified as a Monarch Waystation. As participants in Monarch Watch, we tag adult monarch butterflies in order to track the success rate of their iconic migration.
The monarch butterflies found our first-year garden and laid eggs on the milkweed plants. We observed 6 eggs and the following week in early September, found five monarch caterpillars eating the milkweed plants. By the time of our next visit the caterpillars were gone - but we are confident they found their way to nearby branches and successfully completed their cycle to adulthood.
We are grateful for your initiative to establish a garden to help protect and preserve the monarch butterflies, a critical link in the pollination chain of Virginia's agricultural and natural resources. We are currently preparing for a second garden in another area of Pocahontas State Park. At the same time we will continue to monitor the garden that you helped establish.
We appreciate your support and are proud to be part of this important conservation effort in Virginia.
We look forward to sharing more stories on ways that VMN volunteers are helping monarchs in Virginia!
It looks like many in Virginia are taking the plight of the Monarch butterfly to heart; not just caring but becoming proactive and doing excellent projects to see that we all will enjoy these beautiful animals for years to come. Thank you!
Yes, it is wonderful to see all the great and impactful projects underway!
That is so generous of you! And thank you for sharing the news of this important event with us all. I've passed your message on to our local Chapter there. I suspect you should hear a response from them soon.
Thanks to Jennifer's suggestions our Monarch Habitat at Albright Scout Reservation has progressed nicely and is continuing to expand to additional areas of the Camp where the common milkweed seeds are germinating naturally. We started reporting our observations in 2018 and as I complete my VMN training we are recruiting and training scouts to add to our iNaturalist Biodiversity at Albright Scout Reservation Project.


I have a question about the session ID of assembly components. I'm using CREO4.
I have an assembly with two components which have the session IDs #2 and #4.
I Save a Copy of assembly and two components as well.
Do you know if it's possible to manage this IDs or is it possible to keep the same ID of the original file ?
Each assembly as it is built will have unique SIDs for its components. They should remain static within the assembly, but as you notes a SaveAs will create new SIDs in the renamed assembly.
I do not believe there is a way to manually manipulate these, they are internally generated.
Session IDs are just that, an ID for that specific component for that session. These are assigned sequentially as objects are loading into memory and released as objects are removed from memory. Creo is smart enough to automatically keep the values (relationships) correct as objects are loading into session. You can get into trouble if you try to build mapkeys that refer to session IDs or you try to do a 'Save As' with models suppressed that contain relations that use session IDs.
I'm trying to automate some operations and I found this limit.
I hoped that using "Save As" had possibility to keep the ID ... But unfortunately it doesn't.
Just realize that they don't *need* to stay the same, they simply have to maintain the same relative relationships. As long as the 'Save As' happens with everything related in session, you should have no problems.
Trying to use the Save as function, the IDs of parts will be changed in the new assembly file. So the automatic procedure doesn't work !
"I'm trying to automate some operations"
"So the automatic procedure doesn't work !"
I'm trying to create a sort of Assembly template for all our users.
This template assembly file is already fully defined and ready to be used with two parts. This assembly file represents an over-molded system (two shots of a injection plastic system).
I have also a drawing for this assembly file..
In this template assembly 3D file (and in the drawing as well) I have a Annotation feature with a note.
The note has some attributes coming from the two parts (material, volume, mass,...).
where ":2" is the ID of the part in the template file.
If I need to create a real two-shots injection part I would "Save As" the template assembly file with a specific new real assembly with the real Code.
And, of course , I lost the annotation, because that part loses the original ID (#2) but gets new one !
Hoping to have been clear, Thanks !
Even though the number changes, the relationship should be preserved and the annotation should not fail. If it is then there is a bug that needs to be corrected. Any chance you can either post a video or upload a copy of this assembly and drawing?

I made these signs for my 7 yr old kiddo that has Aspergers. He tends to over feel in situations and his para's tone of voice tends to send him into defiance mode. I created these as a visual to help cut back on the emotion when trying to direct him to do something. The teacher laminated them and they lay one on his desk when needed. They work so well that the teacher started using them with other kids in his class. I know they are working when my son comes home and says mom I didn't get any stop signs today and I had 3 way to goes. Success!
The signs include a stop sign, a way to go sign, and specific signs for staying in his seat and keeping his hands to himself.
Please feel free to use them. The original freeware vector signs were created by Vectoriano. I just adjusted them to fit our needs. These are intended for non profit or personal use only.

In Asgain Co Ltd v Cheng Ka Yam ( HKEC 889, CA) Asgain assigned land to CKM and CKY as tenants in common in equal shares. CKM was Asgain's sole shareholder.
The consideration for the transfer was HK$1.5 million. The memorandum of agreement and the transfer each contained a clause acknowledging Asgain's receipt of the purchase price.
In fact, however, no payment was made to Asgain at the time of the assignment. CKY subsequently made payments totalling HK$67,000 towards the purchase price.
(ii) Asgain's claim was defeated by section 18(1) of the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance.
Lam V-P referred to the Court of Final Appeal decision in Ming Shiu Chung v Ming Shiu Sum ((2006) 9 HKCFAR 334), that of the Privy Council in Prime Sight Ltd v Lavarello ( AC 436) and that in Grundt v Great Boulder Proprietary Gold Mines Ltd ((1937) 59 CLR 641).
'an estoppel by convention need not involve any misleading of a representee by a representor, nor is it essential that the representee shall be shown to have believed in the assumed state of facts or law. The full facts may be known to both parties; but if, even knowing those facts to the full, they are shown to have assumed a different state of facts or law as between themselves for the purposes of a particular transaction, then a convention will be established. The claim of the party raising the estoppel is, not that he believed the assumed version of facts or law was true, but that he believed (and agreed) that it should be treated as true' (at p.197).
Any estoppel was, however, extinguished 'by a counter estoppel arising from the part payments by [CKY]' (at ). These payments showed that her payment obligation had not been discharged by the receipt clauses. Reliance is not an element of this type of estoppel ().
The contractual estoppel plea failed.
The effect of section 18(1) is that a receipt is conclusive at common law but in equity it only gives rise to a rebuttable presumption of payment. The vendor can sue, despite section 18, if there is evidence of non-payment.

Sun Sales Stay Strong Despite Price Hike
By Administrator in Advertising & Creative, Media News · August 31, 2007 · No comments
A price rise from 15p to 20p at the start of last month appears to have barely dented sales of the Sun in Scotland, according to the latest circulation figures.
Says the ABCs, the Sun sold an average 397,509 each day in July, just a little down on its June figure of 398,114. And while the Daily Record will have hoped to capitalise on its rival's price increase, its July average was also down on the previous month: to 363,543, from 368,271.
As usual, the biggest-selling newspaper in Scotland last month was the Sunday Mail, though its average was down from 462,304, in June, to 454,865 last month.
Scotland on Sunday lost over 8000 sales between June and July: from 68,721 to 60,500.
Of course, July is a holiday month, so it's not surprising that some circulations have taken a dip.
Between May and July, The Herald – until recently, at the centre of industrial action by the National Union of Journalists – suffered a drop from 71,262 to 65,891.
While the Sun's figure may down a little, month-on-month, as far as its year-on-year figure in Scotland is concerned, it's up: 3556 copies (or 0.9 per cent), which is particularly remarkable given the paper was selling for 10p during July last year.
Elsewhere, the July average circulations read as follows:
Scottish News of the World 284,350 (compared to 293,524 in June), Sunday Post 274,187 (compared to 277,216), Scottish Daily Mail 130,557 (compared to 126,197), Scottish Mail on Sunday 115,003 (114,785), Scottish Daily Star 95,418 (96,790), Scottish Daily Express 79,493 (78,361), Sunday Times Scotland 64,526 (68,102), Scotsman 53,256 (55,621), Sunday Herald 48,746 (53,621), Scottish Sunday Express 48,543 (47,164), Scottish Daily Mirror 34,705 (35,007), Scottish Sunday Mirror 33,628 (32,239), Daily Star – Sunday 32,787 (31,357), Times 27,395 (27,608), Daily Telegraph 24,727 (25,608), The People 23,900 (24,121), Sunday Telegraph 21,661 (22,470), Observer 20,855 (21,688), Guardian 15,682 (15,818), Independent 9382 (9327), Independent on Sunday 8927 (10,291), Financial Times 5333 (5600).

I was commissioned to design a t-shirt for my Grandfather's 80th birthday in May 2010. I took a photograph of him with his trademark outfit and created a minimalistic silhouette render of the figure. The result was a huge success when every single person in the family wore the outfit with pride. Not only that, I was also asked to reproduce the design for other individuals to wear and purchase.

To create a new proxy, we need two things – one target object and a handler. The target object is the object we want to proxy. The handler is an object which will define certain methods to control what happens when an operation is requested on the target object through the proxy. The proxy object traps the requests, instead of performing the requested operations directly on target object, the proxy would first see if there's a handler method defined for that operation in our handler object. If a method is available, it's called. Otherwise the operation is forwarded to the target object directly.
The description alone might not be clear enough. Let's go ahead and see a basic example.
If you run the code example, you will notice a message on your console – "Trapping GET for hello" followed by the actual "Hello" printed by the target object. What's happening here? We are creating a new Proxy object for the obj object. We have a handler which sets a trap for get. Now any time we access a property on proxiedObject, the get method on the handler is called with the target object, name of the property and the receiver. We will focus on the property name and the target arguments for now. In our handler code, we have just logged the name of the property on the console and then returned the actual value from the target object. We could of course return any value we wish – may be a transformed value? a cached value? Well, anything we wanted.
The methods we define on the handler objects correspond to certain operations. For example, get is called during property lookup, has is called when the in operator is used, set is for setting property values. These methods are the "traps" for the corresponding operations. Traps are optional, you can just define the ones you need. If any trap is not set for a particular operation, it's forwarded to the target object directly.
In this example, we have trapped the property set operation and instead of storing the number as it is, we are squaring it and saving the squared value. However, we have defined no traps for the get operation, so when we access the number, the operation is forwarded to the target object and we get the actual value without any changes.
Now that you know how to trap the operations on an object using a Proxy, you can check out the available traps from the awesome MDN docs here.
There is an excellent chapter on meta programming with proxies in Exploring ES6 book. The MDN docs on the Proxy object is also pretty nice with adequate examples and complete API references.
This looks good but if you have written a few level of nested callbacks, you will soon find out the callback hell is real. You may also architect a few Pyramids of Doom.
In most cases, we will be consumers of promises, so don't worry if the downloadImageWithPromise doesn't immediately make sense. We will dive into promise creation soon. For now, take a look at how easy it is to consume a promise. No more callbacks or headaches. The code is clean, easy to reason about and should be easy to maintain in the long run.
With the latest JS changes, some of the important APIs are also based on promises. So it's very essential that we understand the basics of Promises before hand.
Creating a new promise object is simple. We use the new keyword with the Promise constructor. We pass it an "executor" function. The executor function takes two arguments – a resolve callback and a reject callback. We run our async operations within this executor function and when the operation completes, we either call the resolve or reject callback with appropriate values.
To make things clearer, we separated our executor function. This is basically how promise works. The promise constructor takes a executor function. The executor function takes two callback, resolve and reject. As soon as one of these callbacks is called, the promise is settled and the value (or the error) is made available to the consumer.
The then method returns a promise. So we can keep chaining multiple promises one after one.
First things first – the Promise.resolve and Promise.reject methods immediately return a resolved or rejected promise with the value we pass. This is convenient where we need to return a promise but we don't need any delay, so need for an executor function and the separate callbacks. We can just do Promise.resolve or Promise.reject and be done with it.
We can see how we chained multiple then methods and passed multiple callbacks to gradually transform the values. If we return a promise from one of this callbacks to then methods, it will be settled before passing on to the next callback.
Running the code will get us an error: UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: Less than 10.
So what's happening here? The error callback in a then method gets called only if there's any error in the previous step (in this case the getMePromise function). But it can not handle the error caused in the same level (from within the successCallback function). This is why a then().catch() chain works better than passing two callbacks to the then method itself.
Now we can use the package.
The axios.get function makes a HTTP GET request to the URL provided and returns a promise. We then attach success and error callbacks.
Here we create two promises separately, put them in a list and pass it to Promise.all(). Then we attach our callbacks to the new promise we got. Note how we got two results in the same order inside the callback to the then method.
There is another convenient method – Promise.race() which is similar but settles as soon as one of the passed promises is resolved or rejected.
In this case, we make the request call from inside an executor function and return the promise. We pass a callback to the request function just like it expects. Inside the callback we make use of our resolve / reject callbacks to settle the promise.
In Part -1 of this series, we saw how we can get started with KoaJS and in Part – 2 we built CRUD endpoints with MongoDB. In this part, we're going to work with authentication. We will be using JSON Web Tokens aka JWT for the auth part. We have written detailed pieces on JWT before. You can read Understanding JWT to check out the basics and read our tutorial on JWT with Flask or JWT with Django to see how other frameworks like Flask uses JWT.
To implement JSON Web Tokens with KoaJS, we would be using two packages – koa-jwt and jsonwebtoken. The second package (jsonwebtoken) provides useful helper functions to generate and verify JWTs. Where as koa-jwt provides an easy to use middleware that we can use with KoaJS.
That should install the dependencies and save them in our package.json.
We have the required packages installed. So we can now start securing our routes with JWT. We can just require the koa-jwt package directly and use it. But we want to customize some aspects. For that we would create our own module named jwt.js and put the custom stuff in there.
Now in our index.js file, we would add the middleware to the app.
If we try to visit http://localhost:3000/, we will get a plain text error message saying "Authentication Error". While the message is clear and concise, we want to output JSON, not a plain text error message. For that, we will write a custom middleware.
The code for this middleware is pretty simple. It invokes the next middleware and if it catches an error, it checks if it's 401, if so, it sets a nice detailed JSON as the output. If you're familiar with how middlewares work in express / koa, this should make sense. If it doesn't make sense, don't worry, you will get it over time.
Now we need to export this function from our jwt.js module. Let's change the exports a little bit.
Please note the order of the middleware we used. The error handler must come before the JWT middleware itself, so it can call next() and check for the 401 error.
We used the middleware directly on the koa app. That means all our routes are now secure. All the routes would now check for the Authorization header value and try to verify it's value as a JSON Web Token. That's good but there's a slight problem. If we can't access any of the routes without a token, which route do we access to get the token in the first place? And what token do we use for that? Yeah, we need to have at least one route which is not secured with JWT which will accept login details and issue the JWTs to the users. Besides, there could be other API end points which we can keep open to everyone, we don't need authentication on those routes. How do we achieve that?
Luckily, Koa allows us to use multiple routers and each router can have their own set of middlewares. We will keep our current router open and add the routes to obtain the JWT. We will create a separate route which will use the middleware and be secured. We will call this one the "secured router" and the routes would be "secured routes".
We modified our existing codes. We now have two routers and we added them both to the app. Let's now move our old CRUD routes to the secured router and apply the JWT middleware to just the secured router.
We removed the previously setup JWT middleware from the app and used it on securedRouter instead. Remember, the JWT middleware must be setup before we setup the routes themselves. Ordering of middleware matters.
If we try to visit "http://localhost:3000/", we will no longer get the auth error, rather will see "not found" (we didn't define any routes for the root url). However, if we try to visit "http://localhost:3000/people", we will get the authentication error again. Exactly what we wanted.
We now need to create the route to issue JWTs to our users. We will be accepting their login (username and password) and if they're valid, we will issue them JWTs which they can use to further access our APIs.
We have hardcoded the username and password here. In production environments, we would store the details in a database and we would hash the password. No one in their right mind should store password in plain text.
If it worked, we will get a JSON back with a `token` value containing the JWT.
We will now get back the list of people we have stored in our mongodb.

2018: THE SUNSHINE COAST'S BEST EVER WHALE WATCHING SEASON!
The Sunshine Coast has become one of Australia's most popular whale watching destinations, and with more whales set to frolic along our shores than ever before, 2018 is shaping up to be the best season yet!
From early May, 20,000 Humpback whales will begin their annual migration north. Escaping the cold Antarctic waters, these magnificent creatures will make their way up Queensland's southeast coast, where the warm subtropical waters offer a more comfortable mating and birthing environment. From August through to October, they'll make their way back south, with their new babies in tow!
Whale watching has quickly become an exciting tourist attraction on the Sunshine Coast. Famous for their acrobatics and playful nature, awestruck visitors are often treated to a show of tale slaps, body slams and blow-hole explosions!
Nothing quite compares to seeing these gentle giants up close, and never has it been easier! Sunshine Coast Afloat offers daily whale watching tours from 1 July to 31 October, departing from the beautiful Mooloolaba. Their intimate and unique tours ensure you always get the best seat in the house, so there'll be nothing to get in the way of the perfect Insta-snap!
If you're seeking blue skis, golden beaches and a guaranteed "whale of a time", start organising your winter getaway to The Sunshine Coast, and get in touch with Sunshine Coast Afloat for a whale watching experience of a lifetime!

IIC is run by passionate people, who are dedicated to supporting the conservation and cultural heritage profession. The institute was founded in 1950 by a group of extraordinary individuals who witnessed dramatic events during WW2. The remarkable initiative of a few far-sighted pioneers came to fruition with the creation of the IIC. For those pioneers, including the few individuals that became widely known as the Monuments Men, the destruction of war only sharpened their convictions that the preservation of cultural artefacts was too important to be left to chance.
IIC is an independent and unifying international organisation. We bring together conservators and cultural heritage professionals from around the world, educating, enabling and recognising excellence. This commitment drives everything we do - from our intellectually stimulating Congresses and prestigious Journal, to activities specifically tailored to capture the imagination and curiosity of students and emerging conservators.
We are looking for a Head of Finance and Operations to join our small, friendly and supportive team. This new role will manage the finance and operations of our charity, working closely with the Executive Director and members of Council to ensure ongoing viability and a secure financial future for the International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (IIC) as a Learned Society and professional membership organisation.
Working with the Executive Director, the Head of Finance and Operations will be responsible for the financial and operational management, business analysis and reporting for IIC in line with our charitable status, purpose and values.
You will be a qualified finance manager or have equivalent experience, with a keen commercial sense and a passionate commitment to the vision of supporting conservation of cultural heritage.
You will be responsible for IIC's finance and operating systems and will need to be proficient in using Xero or similar accounts packages. Working with the Membership Secretary you will ensure our membership services are effectively delivered to ensure a high quality of service for our members.
This role will also be the key contact for banking, information and data management and annual reporting as well as leading the management of the annual audit process, preparation of Management Accounts and administration of all grants, invoicing, outsourced contracts such as Payroll and contracts for services.
You will be a proactive individual who can demonstrate initiative with excellent organisational and communication skills. It will be important to maintain a strong working relationship with our committees and programme leads to ensure appropriate and timely provision of management information as well as supporting officers and the Executive Director as we move our fundraising and sponsorship ambitions forward to deliver against our longer-term strategic goals.
Please note the closing date for Applications is Midnight on Sunday 2nd February.
Interviews will take place on Thursday 13th February 2020 in Westminster, London.

Imus Took the Rap the Rappers are Spared
Lorie Byrd April 11, 2007 Media, Race 108 Comments
Don Imus made some nasty racist comments (which anyone who listens to him knows is nothing new) and got suspended by NBC for two weeks. Michelle Malkin takes a look at some of the rap songs topping the charts, and to say they are much worse than the recent Imus comments would be the understatement of the year. If you are offended by the words "ho" and "bitch," you better not follow this link. I knew there was a lot of that language and attitude in rap, but was surprised at just how pervasive and in your face it is. Where are the Reverends Sharpton and Jackson on this stuff? It is reaching a much bigger audience than Don Imus does. But since white liberals are not the ones listening to urban radio, I guess it doesn't count. The real reason is that these rap stars would not be intimidated by Al Sharpton to come groveling and begging his forgiveness.
Update: Snoop Dog doesn't see much comparison between what Imus said about women who had achieved something and the "ho's" that he criticizes.
"It's a completely different scenario," said Snoop, barking over the phone from a hotel room in L.A. "[Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about ho's that's in the 'hood that ain't doing sh–, that's trying to get a n—a for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC [the cable network home to Imus] going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them mutha—–as say we in the same league as him."

Is, there a way to re-compile memory pos
Is, there a way to re-compile memory position only.
mecacool (20)
Is there an way to re-compile an game exe?
For example, I want to re-compile a position in memory instead of needing to patch it through an hex editor?
Any, ways of doing this??
helios (16459)
Do you have the source code?
If you have the source code then you shouldn't need to patch anything, you can just recompile the executable and you're done.
If you don't have the source code then there's nothing for you to compile. You have to patch-in machine code. You don't have any other choice.
jonnin (8234)
with the source code, yes. Without it, no.
you can also disassemble it and reassemble it, but this is likely more work than the editor, both in making the change and getting it to work again after.
alright, thanks for the help
Furry Guy (2444)
Most games use a save file to store and retrieve a game state. Edit the game save and you'll have a patched game you can load and reload from the save point.
What does savegame hacking have to do with patching an executable?
Not much, other than it is an alternate way of getting a hack done.
It depends on what you're trying to do.

Overall, what does the "position" mean?

Why do I have a balance - You know I returned this vehicle way before my time due - I went to the location and no one was there to receive it - a car was there but the location was closed - No I looked in my email and have an invoice and a bill! What the heck!
The store was closed. I dropped the uhaul off and took pics of the uhaul online.
I reserved mu U-Haul for Saturday 10/21/2017 in Kingstree. I received a phone call from True Value a few minutes after I had done my reservation online, and was told that they would not be open on Saturday but I could come pick it up before 5 on Friday and they would NOT charge me for the extra day. I agreed and arrived Friday sometime around 2:00 p.m. I signed all paper work stating I was only being Charged $24.79. After returning the U-haul Saturday afternoon I noticed I was charged the 24.79 twice on my account. I called and let True Value know and they said they would re-fund my money. Now here I am almost a month later with NO REFUND. I have called the store many times and the polite cashier keeps telling me that her manager is taking care of it, but obviously has not and the manager also will not call me back. Terrible management!!!! Still waiting on my refund!!!!
I was very happy with my rental.
The only problem I have is that my bill is so messed up. Other than that, customer service was great and the truck was ready to go.
The clerk was very helpful with my rental .
