The first online action was held within the framework of the Northern Sustainable Development Forum "the Siberian crane is a symbol of uniting regions and countries". The action is dedicated to the preservation of rare animals of the North and the Arctic. The organizers of the action are the Northern Forum's directorate, headed by Vladimir Vasiliev, research officer, a candidate of biological sciences at Institute for Biological Problems of Cryolithozone Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science Inga Bysykatova and employees of the Congress Center.
In 2019, the international expert platform was created in Yakutsk under the auspices of the Northern Forum – "The Northern Sustainable Development Forum". The Northern Forum's logo includes the White crane (Siberian crane), which is a symbol of Yakutia and personifies the unification different countries' efforts to preserve a rare species of Arctic birds, included in the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List, as well as in the Red Data Books of Russia and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
The Siberian Crane is a clear indicator of human impact on the habitat of a rare species and depends entirely on human attitudes, especially in the wintering grounds. At the same time, climate change in the Arctic is already having a serious impact on its nesting sites.
That is why the Northern Sustainable Development Forum began with the action to preserve rare species of plants and animals, and the first species was the Siberian Crane.
As part of the action, for a wide range of users, crowdfunding will be announced to raise funds for the publication of "The Siberian Crane and its Neighbors" booklet which is about waterfowl species in the Arctic. Also, scientific presentations of the participants of the online action and employees of Ulus Inspections for Nature Protection in the nesting and migration sites of the Siberian crane, as well as videos and children' drawings from Russia, Mongolia and China dedicated to the Siberian crane will be published on the Northern Forum website in the "Save the White Cranes".
In total, about thirty people took part in the online action " The Siberian Crane is a symbol of unification of regions and countries", the main speakers were guests from Russia, Mongolia and China.
The events will be streamed live on the Northern Forum YouTube channel at: Northern Forum Secretariat

Virtually any mulch you use will suppress weeds and conserve moisture. Those made from biodegradable materials have the additional benefit of contributing nutrients to the soil as they decompose. If you have fallen or recently felled juniper trees or shrubs (Juniperus spp.) at your disposal, their branches can be used as wood chip mulch, as can their needles.
Home-processed wood chips generally come from branches rather than trunks. If you own or have rented a chipper/shredder, double-check the diameter the machine can handle. Begin by pruning away the side-twigs from the juniper branches and making sure none of the remaining branches are thicker than the machine is rated for. A maximum 3-inch diameter is standard for portable chippers. Feed the branches into the chipper and gather the resulting wood chips. If you'd like to create extra-fine wood chips, run them through the chipper a second time.
If you have room on your property, set down tarps in preparation for gathering juniper needles. After you've cut off the side branches prior to woodchip making, set the needled branches on the tarps to dry out for several months. After the needles have mostly fallen from the branches to the tarp, shake the remaining needles loose and discard the woody sections. The needles can be used in ornamental gardens and under evergreen shrubs and trees.
For wood chips that are more than 2 inches long or wide, set the mulch down on garden beds in thick layers. The gaps between the larger chips are bigger and potentially leave more room for weeds to poke through and soil to erode, unless the layers are about 3 to 4 inches deep. Smaller chips can be laid down at a thickness of 1 to 2 inches. Apply a 2- to 3-inch layer of juniper needle mulch, if you are using it.
Some gardeners worry that there are toxins in evergreens such as junipers and cedars that result in allelopathic reactions to plants mulched with evergreen material. Washington State University, however, suggests that it's not the toxins in the juniper trees that retard vegetative growth under the trees, but the significant thickness of the needle, bark and twig litter under that have accumulated over the years. In addition, juniper tree branches block light and water, further slowing growth. None of these factors are issues with mulch made from juniper trees.
Fresh wood chips, and to some extent needles, can tie up nitrogen in garden soil, as well as lower the pH of the soil. While the changes are not profound, you can add amendments to the garden prior to mulching. Slightly increase the amount of manure, blood meal or other nitrogen fertilizer you would have used when preparing beds. In addition, a light scattering of limestone or wood ash on the soil's surface before mulching can counteract any acidifying effects of the juniper material.

Ed Youtz turned his first bowl as a sophomore in high school. There followed a 40-year gap while he taught high school physics. Retirement in 2002 brought him back to the lathe. He trained under members of the Bucks and Lehigh Valley Wood Turners, David Ellsworth, and other members of the American Association of Wood Turners.
Ed turns full-time now selling his work at craft shows and in galleries. He is a juried member of the PA Guild of Craftsmen and teaches turning at the WoodCraft Store in Allentown, The GoggleWorks, Philadelphia Wood Works, and now in the Fab Lab at Northampton Community College.
Ed's motto is, "Your needs in turned wood: I'll make it for you or teach you to make it for yourself."


The A's are focused on the free-agent market, so they won't be wheeling and dealing at the winter meetings, but that doesn't mean they'll be inactive.
Over the past decade, many major free-agent signings have taken place during the meetings, which this year start Monday in Florida. In fact, it was 10 years ago that Alex Rodriguez signed his record 10-year, $252 million deal with Texas during the meetings. In 2003, the A's lost two free agents, Miguel Tejada and Keith Foulke, who signed deals with Baltimore and Boston during the meetings. And Barry Bonds agreed to his final deal with the Giants during the 2006 winter meetings.
A's general manager Billy Beane believes, in general, that he can get most of his work chasing free agents (such as third baseman Adrian Beltre and a potential DH) done by phone and the winter meetings can be a distraction, as much as anything, because of many media duties. But Beane acknowledged that sometimes, with all the teams and agents assembled, the atmosphere can heat up talks.
"Everyone is focused on doing something, so that's a positive," Beane said. "And if one free agent goes, you can see others go, too. Things can start to fall into place."
The A's to-do list is small at this point: With DH possibility Lance Berkman agreeing to a deal with St. Louis, Oakland's locked in on Beltre for now, though the team does not comment on free agents. With Berkman snubbing Oakland, the winter meetings now might be a place for the team to begin or renew talks with other DH possibilities such as Hideki Matsui, Carlos Peña or Derrek Lee; Paul Konerko is a free agent, but he's expected to go back to the White Sox.
Should the A's sign Japanese pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma, and there are those in the organization who believe they will, it is likely to be announced Tuesday at the meetings, although any agreement would be reached by today, at the latest. Iwakuma would have to come to the Bay Area for a physical before any deal would be official.
The A's are usually regulars at the Rule 5 draft, held Thursday, but this winter, there is a very good chance that the team will skip the event because the 40-man roster is packed.
There has been speculation that Major League Baseball's committee examining the A's stadium might issue its findings during the meetings, but team owner Lew Wolff said that he does not believe that will be the case, though an announcement should come soon. "All we want is a yes or a no," Wolff said of efforts to get approval for a stadium in San Jose.
Asked about the city of Oakland's recent proposal of a stadium site near Jack London Square, Wolff said, "We have explored everything in Oakland, and we are convinced we don't have an opportunity to develop a ballpark there."
Though a stadium measure won't be on a special election ballot in San Jose in March, it's expected that if there is a statewide special election in May that the measure would wind up there.


Business fascinates me because it is highly integrative. In a recent conversation I had with our good Dr. Dodson, he mentioned that there really is no standard business major. From Harvard to community college, what passes for standard is a smattering of accounting, marketing, economics, finance, and management classes.
To understand business, you have to take each piece and fit it into a cohesive whole that you can use to better understand and communicate what opportunities exist, what kind of playing field the world has become—to take all the particulars of life that scream for your undivided attention and synthesize them into a sort of Marauder's Map that can guide you through our ever-changing world.
It is that ability to understand all the details in a setting and then communicate a unifying and compelling narrative that bridges the worlds of Art and Business.
It is this necessity to understand all the pieces in a world-sized puzzle that grabs my attention and stirs my imagination—but a contradiction immediately extends itself to ask why. I do not consider myself to be a numbers person. I am largely bookish, frequently guilty growing up of hiding the book I really wanted to read inside whatever textbook my class happened to be reading at the time. The executive thoroughness required in Business is not my strong suit. How could I feel this natural draw and enthusiasm for a topic that on face value should repulse me?
The answer is in a word I mentioned earlier: narrative.
I would like to add on the phrase - everything is also a story. In a world which is accelerating day by day in complexity, the need for individuals who can tell the story of a company, make sense of a trade agreement, or evangelize a product, increases at the same rate.
I am familiar with the lack of accord between English and Business majors, as the topics are representative of the gap between the arts and the mundane. The disconnect is the result of not having understood the common vein that both subjects share: narrative.
Both subjects, however disparate in the particulars, share the same impulse of problem, struggle, solution, and denouement. Take product marketing for example. Don't advertisers follow a sort of narrative arc that includes each element of story?
This sounds very similar to the cycle of problem, solution, struggle, and denouement. Business majors can benefit from becoming acquainted with storytelling, because story affects every aspect of our lives—the same story that we tell ourselves to get us out of bed every morning influences stock valuation and composes a work of art.
In the same way, English majors can take valuable lessons from business for their own creative development. I have found that taking classes in accounting, management, and economics has developed my ability to integrate information, work with others, and think big picture: all very important skills if you want to impart a story that is gripping and vivid.
Business majors, take a writing class. You may find your passion as an executive is enriched by a class designed to unleash your potential to communicate. English majors: take a business class. You may find that your passion for story broadens a world that you originally thought to be dull and mechanistic.
I guarantee that a phenomenal story will come of it.

Compare diarrhea caused by different infectious agents.
Constipation and diarrhea are common gastrointestinal (GI) complaints that have various etiologies. Thorough patient assessment is important to accurately identify the underlying cause and implement safe and effective treatment. Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) have received increasing attention in recent years.1 FGIDs are characterized by persistent and recurring GI symptoms due to abnormal GI tract function but without structural or biochemical abnormalities. As a result, many diagnostic tests (eg, x-rays, endoscopic examinations) are often negative. The most common FGID is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This chapter will focus on the evaluation and management of constipation, diarrhea, and IBS.
Constipation, when not associated with symptoms of IBS, is a syndrome characterized by infrequent bowel movements (< 3 stools per week) or difficult passage of stools, hard stools, or a feeling of incomplete evacuation. Occasional constipation usually does not require medical evaluation or treatment.

Will Heathrow's third runway ever take off?
Transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin will say delaying the decision again, is 'the right thing to do'.
Delays, delays and more delays. No it's not the departure board at Heathrow, but the current state of play on its proposed runway, which transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin will reportedly try to justify in a speech to the British Air Transport Association (BATA) tonight.
The government has faced both frustration and fierce criticism over its continued reluctance to make a definitive decision on the matter – business groups in particular haven't been shy about making their feelings clear. The most recent delay in December caused the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) to call it 'gutless', saying the ongoing postponements would prove bad news for the UK economy.
No decision will be made before the summer of 2016, but McLoughlin has indicated a further delay might be on the cards, telling LBC Radio last week the government hoped to make 'some progress' by the summer now, as opposed to a conclusive final decision.
The reason this time? The upcoming EU referendum, as multi-tasking two issues of such importance is too much for the government to handle. 'There's a lot of other things that are going on in the political spectrum... if there's a referendum this summer and the like,' he said.
Read more: The delay over the Heathrow decision is spineless
Now having to explain the further delay to BATA, The Telegraph reported McLoughlin will say, 'Of course I know that many in the industry were disappointed that we delayed the final decision.'
The government's latest justification for pushing it back has been the environmental concerns and the need to wait for further research before making a considered decision. MPs on the Environmental Audit Committee said no approval should be given to the expansion until the airport can demonstrate it will comply with key environmental conditions such as legal air pollution limits and committing to introducing a night flight ban.
Yet this hasn't proved convincing and many remain unimpressed with what's increasingly looking like uncertain procrastination to avoid taking the flak should things go pear-shaped once a decision has been made. Facing so much criticism, what defiant, well-composed rebuttal has McLoughlin compiled to convince naysayers? 'The decision was delayed because it was the right thing to do. The responsible thing to do. To make sure we're fully prepared. ' Yes, really – the right thing to do.
Despite the Davies Commission report on airport expansion taking nearly three years of deliberation (and spending millions of taxpayers' money in the process), McLoughlin will say officials are going to do 'extra economic analysis' – an analysis of the analysis done by the Commission to provide 'assurance' of its findings.
A decision will now be made once this work is finished – the one certainty is that it'll be after the London mayoral election, so at least Zac Goldsmith, a vocal opponent of the third runway, will be pleased. Yet each delay causes a drag in momentum and has already given Gatwick a second wind to mount another case for its expansion. The longer this goes on, the less confidence anyone, let alone businesses, will have in how capable the government is of making incisive strategic choices that are in the national interest.

Santa Anita Makes Changes After Another Horse Dies
The cause of the rash of fatal injuries hasn't been found
By Bob Cronin, Newser Staff

(Newser) – A horse died during a workout Thursday at Santa Anita Park, the 22nd death in less than three months at the track outside Los Angeles. The 3-year-old filly, Princess Lili B, was euthanized after breaking both front legs, NBC4 reports. The Arcadia track had just reopened Monday for training; it was closed last week after the 21st death since Dec. 26. The cause of the increase in fatalities has not been determined. Soil samples have been tested—the area has had more rain than usual lately—and the track has been inspected. A year ago, between December and February, 10 horses died at Santa Anita, state data shows. The track averaged around 50 deaths per year from 2008-18. A Santa Anita spokesman tells the Los Angeles Times that 196 horses worked out Wednesday without incident.
Calling the deaths "beyond heartbreaking," the owners on Thursday afternoon announced an overhaul of the track's policies. That includes a ban on race-day medication, more out-of-competition testing, and the purchase of diagnostic equipment to spot pre-existing conditions. In addition, jockeys will be able to strike the horse with a riding crop only as a "corrective safety measure." The track had also announced a series of changes Friday, per NBC4, that included hiring more veterinarians. The owners hope to reopen for racing March 22, but the series of fatal injuries has the industry on edge. "It's mind-boggling to me," trainer Art Sherman, who trained Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome, tells the Los Angeles Times. "I've never seen this as long as I've been around." (California race horses were once freed to flee a wildfire.)

Vibrant new mural at Northwest School of the Arts sheds light on history of West Charlotte
By Brandon Lunsford
If you occasionally drive past the Northwest School of the Arts on Beatties Ford Road, you may have noticed a big change there over the summer; a colorful mural has taken over the front entrance facade. As you face the school you are ushered toward the work by African-styled rug designs painted on the ground, which lead you to columns covered with vibrant images of black artists, musicians, and entertainers. Depictions of Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Quincy Jones, dancer Misty Copeland, painter Jacob Lawrence, and others exist in a sea of dynamic colors and kinetic movement. It's a feast for the eyes, and it's something that seems like it should have existed a long time ago at Northwest.

As principal Melody Sears said, "It doesn't look like a factory anymore. It was built in the 1930s, and they built them to look like factories because that is all they knew. And school was a factory; often you put a part here and a part there, and the end result was a finished child. We wanted to make it look more like an art school." The genesis of the idea belongs to Don Nagel, longtime art director at Northwest. He approached Sears last year with the idea, and soon began interviewing artists to see what visions they could bring to the project.
They chose Rosalia Torres-Weiner, who recruited Northwest students to help paint images on the columns in different styles. "I was more of a director on this project, the kids did much of the work," she said. Originally from Mexico, Torres-Weiner and her husband moved to Charlotte in 1996. She eventually chose to focus her work solely on what she calls "artivism," which visualizes the struggles of folks like the undocumented immigrant families that have been affected by harassment and deportation. "My work is very colorful," said Torres-Wiener. "I use a lot of symbols, and my art always tells a story."

The story of Northwest is also one of struggle, and one that Torres-Weiner identifies with. "The mural tells a story about when this school was segregated. For me it was very important to tell that, because the roots of the black community are here. We as Latinos have a lot to learn from you, and we experience discrimination as well. I have a lot of respect for what they went through."
Many of Charlotte's historic black communities have been forcibly erased from the landscape by urban renewal policies in the 1970s and the city's economic expansion during the 1980s and 1990s, but the Historic West End where Northwest sits has survived largely intact. The area is currently being gentrified, however, and that threat will only increase as transit lines barge down Beatties Ford and the pace of development quickens. The building that now houses Northwest was the original West Charlotte High School, built in 1938 on farmland that had been owned by local African American barber and civic leader Thad Tate. The brick school with Art Deco touches became a destination for middle-class black families who were settling around Johnson C. Smith University, and who wanted to provide their children with as much education as Charlotte's segregated school system could provide.

In 1954 West Charlotte moved further down Beatties Ford into a new and larger building, and after the Supreme Court's 1971 ruling in the landmark Swann vs. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education case the school was integrated and became a national symbol of the desegregation movement. In 1999 the desegregation order was rescinded, and by the 2000s the school had become almost exclusively black once again as its performance dipped and teachers left. The original building became Northwest Junior High in the 1950s, and it eventually evolved into the Northwest School of the Arts, a nationally recognized art magnet school that provides specialized instruction in visual arts, drama, music, and dance.

If you look up at the ceiling above the recently painted column, you can see a tribute to those who helped shape the history of the West End. Below a vivid series of designs there is a list of people who have had an impact on these neighborhoods and those who are still fighting for it. They include civil rights pioneers Kelly and Fred Alexander, Reginald Hawkins, Julius Chambers, Charles Jones, Sarah Stevenson, and Dorothy Counts Scoggins, as well former West Charlotte principals Clinton Blake and J.E. Grigsby. The names were provided by West Charlotte alumni Thelma Byers-Bailey, whose Lincoln Heights neighborhood association applied for a grant from the city of Charlotte to help fund the mural.
The best part about the project is that the Northwest students became so involved and were able to learn about the history of their surroundings while practicing their art. "Our kids are working the whole time and asking questions, and they are feeding off of this. They are very serious about what they are doing, because this is part of the path that they will take," Sears said. So if you're ever driving down Beatties Ford and you see a brilliant splash of color in front of Northwest, stop in and give it a closer look. You could be dazzled not only by the art itself, but by the story it tells.

Soil water reserves within the norm, a rare Merlot maturity... read on for the facts and figures surrounding the Château Lynch-Bages 2015 vintage, from bud to cellar.
This is the rainfall recorded between November 2014 and February 2015, in line with the average of the past 30 years (364 mm). Although the winter months replenished the soil's water reserves, they were gradually depleted in May, June and July – the hottest and driest in Gironde's history – resulting in a relatively early end to the vine's vegetative growth.
The first Cabernet Sauvignon buds appeared at Lynch-Bages mid-March. Which is slightly early. But budbreak was homogeneous and took place in good weather conditions, ensuring a healthy vegetative development.
Flowering began in late May. Veraison began on 21 July, in other words 4 or 5 days earlier than in 2014.
The whites (Muscadelle) were harvested first. Harvesting of the reds began on 17 September with the Merlot (about 10 hectares).
The potential alcohol in the first 4 vats of Merlot, filled on 17 and 18 September by 2 teams of 50 people, is 13.5%. An exceptional maturity.
There are sufficient yields of old Merlot, thanks to good flowering, and the Cabernet Sauvignon production offers a good balance of rich skins and high volumes of berry juice, as the grapes benefited fully from the beautiful weather in the 2nd ten days of Septembe.
They promised they'd be back... will you?
Our special thanks to photographers Oddur Thorisson and Rodolphe Escher.
On 19 June 2015, pupils from Hong Kong were received at Pauillac as part of an academic and cultural exchange organised for the past eight years by the Lan Chi Pat Alliance.
Ten pupils from the Médoc visited Asia in October and on 19 June, ten Hong Kong children were invited to France. Lynch-Bages welcomes pupils every year in the spring, accompanied by two professors from the Lan Chi Pat Memorial Secondary School, in Tseung Kwan, a town situated in Hong Kong's New Territories region.
The Lan Chi Pat Alliance, which organises the exchange in partnership with Collège Saint-Jean in Pauillac, was created eight years ago at the instigation of Jean-Michel Cazes. His attraction for the school was natural as it shares the name of his wine, Lan Chi Pat being the title chosen for Lynch-Bages in Hong Kong to make pronunciation easier for the Chinese, who found speaking the original name difficult.
Under the watchful eye of Hélène and Pauline, the Hong Kong pupils began their visit of France in the Médoc with Lynch-Bages, where they learned the different stages of winemaking. They stayed in our "small château" at Lynch-Bages and dined at Café Lavinal with their French friends.
After this gourmet experience, they spent the weekend with the families of their exchange students visiting Pauillac and Arcachon Bay. The following week was rich in events, giving the pupils an opportunity to discover La Palmyre Zoo, Bordeaux, the Dune of Pyla, and our local châteaux. The trip drew to a close at the school itself, with the end-of-year celebrations, before a last excursion to Paris and Versailles.
When the French pupils organised a cocktail reception at the Lynch-Bages harvest room, the pupils of Lan Chi Pat, named after a famous Cantonese singer, chose the moment to reveal their talent with a musical performance in traditional Chinese opera costumes borrowed from the school's collection. A second show was organised at Château Clerc Milon in Pauillac during the Médoc Rotary Club dinner.
In 2007, Jean-Michel Cazes became friends with headmistress of the Lan Chi Pat Memorial Secondary School Shi Fung-Ling, and together they set up the school exchange programme. The Hong Kong school teaches pupils aged 11 to 18. It places a strong focus on opera and music and has a superb collection of costumes and instruments. In France, the exchange is open to 15-year-old pupils studying at Collège Saint-Jean, an establishment neighbouring Lynch-Bages that specialises in foreign languages. The initiative receives support from the Commanderie de Bordeaux and Cathay Pacific Airways. Over 100 pupils have benefited from the scheme since 2008.
The famous London wine merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd (BBR), also considered Britain's oldest wine and spirits merchant and partner of VINIV since 2014, has launched a unique initiative to raise funds for the Room to Read charity, which works to improve literacy among children in developing countries.
In collaboration with VINIV, BBR has created Widely Read, a wine blended on 31 March 2015 by Stephen Bolger (VINIV), Eric Boissenot (recently named "the most influential wine consultant in the world of wine" by The Drinks Business), Jancis Robinson (journalist from the Financial Times, see the "Blend ambition" article) and Simon Staples (BBR). BBR immediately bought 10 barrels, the equivalent of 2,880 bottles.
The next day, some 570 bottles of Widely Read were sold at a charity dinner in Tokyo, Japan. A promising first step paving the way for new sales at auctions organised in several cities, including Paris (France) and London (United Kingdom).
VINIV has also decided to offer a barrel of the 2014 vintage to Room to Read Japan in support of this inspirational project.
Having georeferenced the entire property to establish a detailed map, Lynch-Bages has now introduced a geolocated fertilization technique throughout the estate. As technical director for Château Lynch-Bages, Nicolas Labenne explains what this state-of-the-art innovation actually involves.
Château Lynch-Bages is innovating again this year with its geolocated fertilization methods. What does this involve exactly?
Nicolas Labenne: "Our detailed knowledge of the vineyard combined with today's technological innovations allow us to use precision viticulture techniques. We can now adapt our spreading of organic and mineral fertilizers throughout the vineyard, even dividing areas less than 5 metres in length. This offers two advantages, not only can we reduce our use of fertilizer by 15 to 20% but also, above all, we can distribute products more effectively according to the needs of individual areas."
NL: "It required a lot of hard work. We began working on the idea in 2009 by conducting studies of soil resistivity and potential. We needed to measure the vineyard's intra-parcel heterogeneity. This mapping, combined with plant-specific analyses, took us a long time but we have now distinguished five main soil types on the estate holding different qualitative potential. In 2009, we were already able to use this information to divide the land up into about 30 sub-areas to begin selective harvesting. Today, we are using our partners' technological breakthroughs to take the process a step further and begin precision viticulture, using for example geolocated fertilization techniques."
What are the advantages for the vineyard, and ultimately for the wine?
NL : "This is where things become interesting. The quality of a wine depends on a multitude of important details. The techniques already used are beginning to yield results, for example better plant homogeneity and a must with more stable acidity levels and better sugar concentration. There is also an environmental impact, because this more judicious and precise form of viticulture is best for monitoring and sustainable development. This means the château will make input savings and we will soon be reducing our phytosanitary treatments too. We can also manage vineyard renewal and its long-term homogeneity more effectively."
In 2009, we georeferenced Lynch-Bages in detail (rows, orientation, length, actual planted surface, etc.), using satellites, drones and GPS to obtain more information about the vineyard.
The data showed the vineyard to be very variable, and so we divided the land up into new intra-parcel zones.
We then completely revised and optimized the estate's viticulture strategy (thinning, fertilization, renewal, etc.).
We carried out the first geolocated fertilization tests in 2012. The tractor's GPS contains the information on the georeferenced map, meaning input can be controlled by either varying the spreader's flow (mineral fertilizer) or varying the speed at which the tractor moves forward (natural plant compost). The entire production cycle (thinning, renewal, selective harvesting, etc.) has benefited from these innovations.
"Veraison", marks the transition from grape growth to grape ripening when a flood of colour washes through the vineyard, painting the berries purple and gold.
As Jean-Charles Cazes had the idea to celebrate this special stage in the vine cycle, it only seemed natural to him to call on Italian interior designer Anne-Monique Bonadei to illustrate "veraison" on the new gastronomic restaurant plates.
Created in collaboration with Anne Monique Bonadei and the storied Limoges porcelain maker Bernardaud, our new plates represent the veraison process through a series of 3 illustrations.
Around forty VINIV winemakers from all over the world met up over the weekend of 22 November 2014 in the village de Bages to put the finishing touches to the blending of their 2013 vintage.
During this international Mashup the technical team from Château Lynch-Bages and Eric Boissenot, an eminent Consultant-Oenologist in the Médoc (Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Margaux, Mouton Rothschild, etc.), were on hand to guide them in their work.
Over the weekend, the VINIV winemakers explored the historic centre of Bordeaux during an exclusive tour, and took part in a vertical tasting of Château Lynch-Bages 1995 to 2012 as well as a special masterclass on the 1990 vintage held in the Millésima cellars.
This great Mashup finishes with a magnificent closing dinner at Cordeillan-Bages, led by the Cazes family and Stephen Bolger. The key event of the VINIV experience, this annual meeting offers clients the chance to get together to share moments of both work and conviviality connected with their passion for wine.
Meet up during the weekend of 29 and 30 May 2015, for the producers of the 2014 vintage!
In June 2014, Château Lynch-Bages began carrying out a survey with the Telespazio company, a branch of the Thalès group, using aerial detection. Objective: to achieve an ever more fine-tuned vineyard management.
Based on cartography created through images taken from the sky by drones and microlights, the aim of this survey is to acquire more in-depth knowledge of the vineyard, and to adapt vineyard practices (notably geo-localised fertilisation and canopy management) as well as selective harvests.

Cook: Gillingham Were the Better Side
Saturday, 6th Mar 2021 16:37
Boss Paul Cook admitted that Gillingham were the better team as they defeated Town 3-1 at the Priestfield Stadium in his first game in charge of the Blues.
"It was always going to be a difficult game, you'll never leave Gillingham and you'll never leave a Steve Evans team without having to earn the right to earn a football match," he said.
"Unfortunately for us today, I felt Gillingham were the better side, I felt we were never in the ascendency, apart from the 10-minute spell maybe after we scored and equalised when we looked like we could go on and win the game.
"But then we obviously conceded the second goal, possibly against the run of play at that little moment. But for long spells, Gillingham were the more aggressive team, the better team, so it's a really disappointing day for us."
Were Town affected by tiredness given the number of games they've had to play recently, including long trips to Hull and Accrington? "No, it's the same for Gillingham, it's the same for all these teams.
"What happens sometimes now is we have an avenue to make excuses for losing. We weren't good enough today, we conceded three really poor goals and when you do that away from home, the likelihood is you'll get beat, and we did."
Despite not being particularly good, the Blues had one or two chances, but Cook didn't feel there was too much to take from the game.
"Yes, but I genuinely felt that we huffed and puffed, that's the thing," he said.
"You watched the game the same as me. It's my first game, as you can imagine we haven't had much time. It is what it is.
"You're always looking for sparks and in a difficult game, I didn't feel we had that many sparks. But the reality is that we've been on a really good run, so the sparks have been there.
"So what we must do is lick our wounds, accept it's a bad day and at clubs sometimes when you have bad days, the likelihood is you hope your next bad day isn't for a period of time. The most important thing is we bounce back on Tuesday night."
Cook was named Town boss on Tuesday and took his first training session on Thursday. Reflecting on his time so far and what he's learnt up to now, he added: "I've been in the building for two or three days, you're learning all the time, that's the good thing about this game for clubs like Ipswich in the league and the bigger clubs that have been in League One.
"The reality is that the clubs will go forward, whoever takes them forward is not really the main point, but the clubs will go forward one day because the structures of the clubs are too big.
"For us at Ipswich Town we know we've got to be better, we know we've got to get out of this league, and obviously today's performance won't see us do that."
Asked whether 35-year-old skipper Luke Chambers, who broke into the club's top 10 appearance-makers and scored the Blues' goal, was a player he'd always rate, Cook said: "A lot of the time the reason why senior players keep playing is two-fold normally. One, because they're good and two, they look after themselves in the correct and proper way.
"Certainly when you come across lads like Luke Chambers, Cole Skuse the same way, you're talking about top level players, so that's something that really can help the younger lads in the team.
"As I say, on games like today, I prefer to be quite brief. We all know what we can say about the game and the performance, which is not needed to be said. I think those things should be said in the dressing room."
Sounds like the senior players will still have a role to play going forward, as much as people get excited about youngsters coming through? "Massively, absolutely massively. In over two years we've probably seen a really big turnaround of players, probably too many players coming in and out of the club in too quick a time.
"While I have to win games, and I accept I have to win games, my job is also to bring some sanity to the club.
"We have too many players. You can't coach too many players, you can't have too many players happy, so certainly going forwards, we'll lick our wounds from today and we'll look forward to the Lincoln game on Tuesday night."
He felt the second goal was the game's key moment with the Blues perhaps just starting to get on top.
"That's the disappointing thing," he said. "The third goal's not irrelevant because it killed us off but the second goal was the goal that was going to decide the game.
"That moment was the first time in the game I probably thought we could go on and win. Up to that point I didn't really feel that we were creating chances or looked like creating chances, and that seems to be a bit of a problem we've had all season. As I say, we lick our wounds, we get back, we work hard and we come back better."
Kayden Jackson came back from his exile in the U23s from the bench in the second half and hit the bar.
"That was a positive, for sure," he said. "Kayden's got that electric pace that strikers of a certain level have, so we've got to make sure with the rest of the lads who were out of the squads and stuff that they feel that they're going to get the chance, and when the chance comes it's up to them to take it."
Town are quickly back into action when Lincoln visit Portman Road on Tuesday: "Without a doubt, that's the same for everyone, it's Lincoln, Plymouth, Fleetwood, Pompey, there's no respite for anyone and if you want to be successful you've got to win football games and we're well aware of that."
Might you freshen things up? "No, you love managers love getting these microphones pushed in front of them about 20 minutes after games. I've spoken enough nonsense in my lifetime.
"I'll just keep myself to myself, we'll speak with the staff and let's get back to Ipswich and pick ourselves up."
Asked about the ongoing process of learning about his players even when a result doesn't go to plan, he added: "One of the problems you have in football is that we have is that we have a large squad and we have a lot of players being left back in Ipswich.
"And normally what happens when teams lose, the clamour is for change in the team and I've never been a big manager for change. As I say, it's important we get back, we lick our wounds and we go again."
Regarding Alan Judge missing out having suffered a family bereavement, he said: "Alan's well aware of the support he gets from everyone at the football club, the supporters, the staff, the players, [owner] Marcus [Evans], [general manager of football operations] Lee [O'Neill], everybody.
"All our thoughts and wishes go to him in relation to what he's going through, a very sad time, and we all hope he can come back at whatever point it is and give us a little lift."

Honest assessment from Mr Cook we simply weren't good enough...it will be interesting to see what changes he makes for the Lincoln game. Personally felt the midfield was particularly outplayed today - Dozzell, Harrop and Bishop offered very little but so could be said for a number of other players.

What a sensible , rounded accurate assessment both of the game and of the need to avoid public over elaboration ,but accept the outcomes and the deserved result .
No excuses, no blame apportioned yet a positive statement of intent ,coupled importantly to a mature balanced opinion of the need to balance the squad AND sensibly reduce / rebalance the size of the squad .
Much to ponder , lots to hope for and many questions to be posed and answered ; nothing looks like being either overlooked or deliberately avoided !
Great promise here !

Thank God he didn't sugar coat them and blow smoke up their never regions like his predecessor would've done. An honest assessment from an honest manager. Time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
I'll say it again. Anyone who writes 'Cook out' after this match should be banned from the site, and then tracked down by Ipswich Town and banned from ever attending games again.

It'll take 2 months for PC to work out who's got the guts to go the distance. Ability is one thing, attitude another. I'd personally love to see some of these loanees sent home. It's not about them. They just won't be up for the fight. And boy do we need fighters to get out of this tin pot league.
PositivelyPortman added 17:31 - Mar 6
It wouldn't have been so bad losing, if they'd at least been fighting tooth and nail for a win.
The lack of any real aggression and most players seemingly accepting the loss was particularly annoying to me and no doubt Cook.

On Sunday night I attended the APEC leaders dinner and found myself on a table with foreign ministers from the ASEAN region. Naturally I asked them how the conference was going, and in particular about East Timor. Naturally they said favourable things about how New Zealand had organised the conference - they're foreign ministers after all.
But then they went further and gave examples. One said that the informality at this APEC was demonstrated by the fact that dinner guests felt free to get up and wander round. I noticed for example that other foreign ministers came to our table to continue discussion about East Timor.
The foreign ministers said there was a consensus that an international peacekeeping force must go into East Timor. They were also emphatic that such a peacekeeping force must include contributions from South East Asia.
This is a very significant development. The countries of the ASEAN region have been the strongest in holding the doctrine of no interference in fellow ASEAN nations' internal affairs.
I have no doubt that the happy coincidence of the APEC conference - with 21 of the world's nations present including the nations of the ASEAN region - has had a major contribution to this development.
I took the opportunity to ask whether they thought that New Zealand should have approached the subject in a different way. For example, should we have insisted that East Timor be included on the formal agenda of APEC? The foreign ministers made it clear that in their view such a proposal would never have been a starter and indeed might have wrecked the whole conference.
This raises an interesting question - last week in Parliament Helen Clark and her coalition ally Jim Anderton insisted that Jenny Shipley as chair of APEC put East Timor on the formal agenda. Both MPs claimed that unless this was done, the East Timor issue wouldn't be addressed. They poured scorn on Don McKinnon's claims that more progress would be made by quiet diplomacy. They ridiculed the suggestion that an issue like East Timor was better tackled in informal discussions and indeed even questioned that such discussions would occur.
Well I can state, as an eyewitness, that these discussions did occur - at my table on Sunday night.
The question we now must ask is: What does this say about Helen Clark's claim to be a foreign policy expert, and to have the qualities needed to be Prime Minister?
I'm forced to draw one of two conclusions.
Either Helen Clark as Prime Minister would have done exactly what she was suggesting and would have single-handedly sabotaged the APEC conference - and with it any possibility of organising a multi-national peacekeeping force that included the nations of the region - so condemning the East Timorese to a terrible fate.
Or alternatively Helen Clark's suggestions were motivated purely by domestic political considerations and she was more interested in sabotaging APEC as part of her vendetta against Jenny Shipley, and that the advice that she gave she knew was ludicrous.
Either way I believe both Helen Clark and Jim Anderton have demonstrated their lack of fitness to be leading the ship of state.
At least Jim Anderton had the decency not to come on Sunday night, although Mr Anderton, like a lot of the left, is now in a state of total confusion. For months he's been telling us that APEC's a plot to reduce our standard of living - and then he turns round and suddenly says its vitally important that APEC discuss East Timor. Like the protestors, he can't make up his mind whether to tell Bill Clinton and the world leaders to go away, or whether he wants them to stay to resolve East Timor.
I noticed that Helen Clark did attend the leaders' forum so unless she had her eyes closed she too would have witnessed the diplomacy going on right in front of us and the success of Don McKinnon's and Jenny Shipley's strategy.
I invite the media to apply the same critical scrutiny to the foreign policy strategies of the Opposition that have been applied to the Government. Too many people in the media were determined to declare APEC a failure even before it met.
If, as I believe will now happen, there is multi national peacekeeping force sent to East Timor, I hope that the media is big enough to give the Government some credit, and to point out that if we had followed the Opposition's strategy, Indonesia would have been able to go on defying world opinion with impunity.

Home > Regional > Caribbean > Miami's Little Havana Gains "National Treasure" Label
Miami's Little Havana Gains "National Treasure" Label
By The Associated Press on January 27, 2017
(David Santiago/El Nuevo Herald via AP, File)
MIAMI — Historic preservation groups are launching a partnership with city officials to save Miami's Little Havana, the epicenter of the Cuban diaspora.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation added Little Havana to its list of "national treasures" Friday, saying it should be protected from developers who are transforming much of Miami's downtown and its surroundings.
The nonprofit says the designation will help organizations, city officials, residents and investors to preserve the area's historic buildings and keep it affordable to working-class dwellers.
The neighborhood's signature street, Calle Ocho, features cigar shops, art galleries and mom-and-pop stores where Cubans and their descendants reminisce about the island.
Tourists also visit the area arriving in double decker buses to take sips of Cuban coffee and shoot selfies at the Versailles restaurant, the hub of the exile community. The neighborhood has changed some as new immigrants have arrived from Central America and Colombia, opening new restaurants and stores.
"Little Havana is a symbol of the immigrant experience in America and a thriving, entirely unique place," said Stephanie Meeks, president and CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "Growth should not come at the expense of the vibrant historic neighborhoods like Little Havana that make cities unique and desirable places."
The historic trust's website says Little Havana faces multiple threats, including development pressure, demolition of historic buildings, displacement of existing residents and zoning changes.

Roland Berger elects new partners in Beirut, Dubai and Doha
22 January 2020 Consultancy-me.com 2 min. read
Roland Berger
Global management consultancy Roland Berger has added 15 new partners worldwide, including three regional promotions.
Roland Berger has admitted 15 new partners worldwide to begin the new year, along with elevating ten members globally to senior partner status. Among the promotions were Hani Tohme and Johannes Distler of the global management consultancy's Middle East branch, based respectively out of Beirut and Dubai, while Stephan Essig has also taken the step up in Qatar. They join regional mid-year promotions Santiago Castillo and Gaurav Wadi.
Hani Tohme
Heading up the firm's sustainability activities for the Middle East & North Africa, with a focus on renewables, waste management and circular economy, Tohme has in his second stint been with Roland Berger out of Lebanon and the UAE since 2016. After an earlier career path as a wireline field engineer, he first joined the firm for three years in 2011 – with a two-year diversion as a senior manager in the energy practice of Arthur. D. Little.
Johannes Distler
Distler, who has been made a partner in the firm's Dubai office, has been with the Roland Berger for over a decade, first joining in 2009 and relocating to the UAE two years later. A core member of Roland Berger's global Restructuring, Performance and Transformation team, Distler holds expertise in performance improvement, restructuring and large-scale transformation projects, along with experience in the transportation and consumer sectors.
Stephan Essig
Essig, meanwhile, has been promoted to partner in the firm's Doha office. The managing director of Roland Berger Qatar, Essig has been with the German-origin consultancy altogether since 2015, with an emphasis on strategy, restructuring and performance improvement. Prior to Roland Berger, Essig spent time with restructuring specialist Andersch AG (acquired last year by FTI Consulting) and briefly in a restructuring advisory role with KPMG.
Essig, Distler and Tohme are joined by further partnership additions among Roland Berger's 35-odd country locations worldwide, including four in headquarters Germany, two in the Netherlands (the home nation of Middle East managing partner Rene Seyger), and two in the UK. The firm's branches in the Ukraine, Singapore, France and US also welcomed one new partner, while ten were elevated to the next level across Europe, Asia and the US.
The promotions were made at Roland Berger's regular international partnership meeting, but no word has been given as to whether there will be a shift back to a global CEO model since the departure of Charles-Edouard Bouée in the middle of last year. Currently, the firm is being headed by Global Managing Director Stefan Schaible (CEO of Germany and Central Europe) together with a management team made up of various senior leaders.

Pope calls for intellectual conversion over climate
The strident public debate about global warming and the threat it poses has died down. Few knowledgeable people deny its reality. At the same time, powerful interest groups and politicians appeal to the need for economic growth in order to weaken any international commitment. At such a time it is worth returning to Laudato Si, Pope Francis' passionate exhortation to care for the environment. Its most significant insight is that the environment is not something outside ourselves. We are part of it.
ABC devalues religion reporting at its peril
Rohan Salmond
Reports that the ABC will no longer require the head of the religion unit to be a religion specialist are more than a little surprising. The ABC has a commitment in its charter to 'reflect the cultural diversity of the Australian community'. Without religion reporting from people with specialist journalistic backgrounds, the ABC jeopardises its ability to fulfil its ongoing functions and responsibilities. Like it or not, religion still plays a huge part in public life in Australia, which affects the lives of everyone.
Uluru: take time to get this right
Frank Brennan
The consultations conducted in Indigenous communities under the auspices and with the financial support of the Referendum Council have yielded a constant message that Indigenous Australians want substantive constitutional change and not just symbolic or minimalist change. The question is: How much should we attempt to put in the Constitution now, and how much should we place outside the Constitution, or delay for constitutional inclusion until another day?
On Aboriginal land: seeking a place at the table
Indigenous leaders this last week have called for the creation of two new legal entities. They want a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution, and a Makarrata Commission set up by legislation. The Makarrata Commission would supervise agreement making between governments and First Nations and engage in truth telling about history. The envisaged destination is a national Makarrata (or treaty). So the immediate constitutional issue is the creation of the First Nations Voice. There is no point in proceeding with a referendum on a question which fails to win the approval of Indigenous Australia. Neither is there any point in proceeding with a referendum which is unlikely to win the approval of the voting public.
Reconciliation and mission
The reconciliation of this vertical relationship is possible only through the mediation of Jesus who embodies, lives and dies the reality of this reconciliation. He puts us right with our God and thereby establishes the basis for right relationship with each other. In many countries such as Australia, Timor Leste and South Africa, the public rhetoric and programs for reconciliation have, at least in part, been informed and underpinned by this theological perspective.
'Labor-lite' budget's social welfare report card
Julie Edwards
'Labor-lite' or not, there are many investments contained in the budget which will work towards a more just society, including the securing of funding for the National Disability Insurance Scheme by raising the Medicare levy, and the needs-based approach to school funding, dubbed 'Gonski 2.0'. But among these commitments that seek to create a more equitable Australia, this budget again seeks to vilify welfare recipients, among the most vulnerable members of our community.
Finding meaning in a chaotic/changing world
Our Church is presently a strained, outdated social institution with an exclusively male hierarchy and clergy. But it is also the privileged locus for us to be called to the banquet of the Lord sharing theology and sacrament which have sustained the hearts and minds of similar pilgrims for two millennia. Thank God for Pope Francis who is showing us the way, helping us to find meaning in our changing and chaotic world, putting a fresh spring in the step of all those Catholics holding in tension the prophetic and the practical, the theological and the humanist, the tradition and the contemporary reality.
Seeking a fair go on budget night
Part of the cost of the double dissolution election last July has been the creation of a Senate with the largest, most diverse group of crossbenchers ever. This will make the passage of any new contested Budget measures difficult, particularly given the Prime Minister's vulnerability on his right flank, and the Labor Party's propensity to mimic the Opposition tactics adopted previously by Tony Abbott. The government needs to create a clear narrative as to how it will achieve equitable and sustainable growth through this Budget.
Businesses need to get serious about gender diversity
Neve Mahoney
Whether to have targets or quotas is a hard question to answer. Quotas have been employed by several European countries to great effect. But in Australia companies are encouraged to set themselves targets, which are optional. Businesses are moving towards targets at a glacial pace, with women in senior executive roles increasing by 2 per cent per annum since 2012. As long as it is up to businesses to create a diverse workplace, they need to put in the effort.
Remembering John Clarke at Easter
Following the passing of the Australian comedian and social commentator, John Clarke, his co-presenter Bryan Dawe talked about being on a tram in Melbourne with people nodding compassionately and knowingly at him. Bryan recalled that an old man had once commented to John, 'You know what you two do? It's a secret between you and the audience.' These are not the sorts of things we expect to hear when someone is still alive. Once they are dead, those who love and admire them recall all sorts of details about their life, finding new meaning and new depth even in the everyday things.
Keeping race hate at bay in South Africa
Munyaradzi Makoni
Life is back to normal a month after residents of Mamelodi in South Africa marched from on the Home Affairs offices in protest over criminality among immigrants. Now, there are calls for closer re-examination of the action, which many see as threatening peace in one of Africa's biggest economies. 'If drugs and crime were really the issues, it should have been billed as an anti-drugs, anti-crime march, not an anti-foreigner march,' said Johan Viljoen of Jesuit Refugee Service.
Let's amend 18C to say what it means
The debate over section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act (18C) has gone on for far too long. It's time to bring it to a close. To date, I have been silent in the present debate, in part because I was a critic of such legal provisions when they were first proposed in 1992 and again in 1994. I have since been convinced that a provision like 18C could be designed to target racial vilification, leaving offensive insults beyond the reach of the law in a robust democracy committed to freedom of speech.

Syrkowice (deutsch Zürkow) ist ein Dorf in der Woiwodschaft Westpommern in Polen. Das Dorf gehört zur Gmina Karlino (Stadt- und Landgemeinde Körlin) im Powiat Białogardzki (Belgarder Kreis).

Geographische Lage
Syrkowice liegt in Hinterpommern, etwa 115 km nordöstlich von Stettin und etwa 20 km südöstlich von Kołobrzeg (Kolberg). Etwa 1 km westlich des Dorfes entfernt verläuft von Nordwest nach Südost die Woiwodschaftsstraße 163, deren Verlauf hier der ehemaligen Reichsstraße 124 entspricht.

Die nächsten Nachbarorte sind im Nordwesten an der Woiwodschaftsstraße Łykowo (Leikow), im Nordosten Mierzyn (Alt Marrin) im Südosten Daszewo (Dassow) und im Südwesten jenseits der Woiwodschaftsstraße Poczernino (Putzernin).

Geschichte
Zürkow wurde erstmals im Jahre 1227 erwähnt. Damals schenkten Herzog Barnim I. von Pommern und seine Mutter Miroslawa von Pommerellen dem 1224 gegründeten Kloster Marienbusch mehrere Dörfer, darunter das damals "Surkowic" genannte Dorf. Später erschien Zürkow im Besitz des Klosters Belbuck.

Auf der Lubinschen Karte von 1618 ist das Dorf als "Sukow" eingetragen.

Jedenfalls seit dem 17. Jahrhundert war der Besitz von Zürkow in zwei Anteile geteilt:

Zürkow A bestand aus vier Bauernstellen und war ein Lehen der adligen Familie Blankenburg. Im Jahre 1767 verkauften die Besitzer von Zürkow A die vier Bauernhöfe an drei Freimänner namens Hans Schünemann, Joachim Christian Schünemann und Jacob Conrad.

Zürkow B bestand aus zwei Bauernstellen. Es teilte lange Zeit die Besitzgeschichte des benachbarten Putzernin. Beide gehörten vor der Reformation dem Kolberger Domkapitel, wurden ein Lehen der adligen Familie von Damitz, wurden dann als Lehen an Generalmajor Hans Friedrich von Platen (* 1668;† 1743) vergeben und wurden von dessen Sohn Dubislaw von Platen 1773 an eine Johanna Regina Wißmann verkauft.Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemann: Ausführliche Beschreibung des gegenwärtigen Zustandes des Königlich-Preußischen Herzogtums Vor- und Hinterpommern. II. Teil, 2. Band. Stettin 1784, S. 575 (Online, im Artikel über (Alt) Marrin).

In Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemanns Ausführlicher Beschreibung des gegenwärtigen Zustandes des Königlich-Preußischen Herzogtums Vor- und Hinterpommern (1784) wird Zürkow unter den adligen Gütern des Fürstentums Cammin aufgeführt. Damals gab es hier sechs Bauern und insgesamt 17 Haushaltungen ("Feuerstellen").Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemann: Ausführliche Beschreibung des gegenwärtigen Zustandes des Königlich-Preußischen Herzogtums Vor- und Hinterpommern. II. Teil, 2. Band. Stettin 1784, S. 612 (Online).

Im 19. Jahrhundert veränderte sich der Charakter von Zürkow radikal: Die Bauernhöfe verschwanden und es entstand ein einziger großer Gutsbetrieb. Nach mehreren Besitzwechseln kaufte nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg ein Werner von Sanden das Gut Zürkow und besaß es bis 1945.

Zürkow bildete lange Zeit einen eigenen Gutsbezirk, der eine Fläche von 430 ha umfasste (Stand 1925). Mit der Auflösung der Gutsbezirke in Preußen wurde der Gutsbezirk Zürkow im Jahre 1929 in die Landgemeinde Leikow eingegliedert, ebenso wie gleichzeitig der benachbarte Gutsbezirk Putzernin.

Bis 1945 gehörte Zürkow als Teil der Landgemeinde Leikow zum Landkreis Kolberg-Körlin in der preußischen Provinz Pommern.Zürkow im Informationssystem Pommern.

1945 kam Zürkow, wie ganz Hinterpommern, an Polen. Die Bevölkerung wurde vertrieben und durch Polen ersetzt. Der Ortsname wurde zu "Syrkowice" polonisiert.

Das Dorf gehört heute zur Gmina Karlino (Stadt- und Landgemeinde Körlin), in der es ein eigenes Schulzenamt bildet, zu dem auch Poczernino (Putzernin) gehört. auf der Website der Gemeinde.

Q: error uploading csv file on cloud jupyter notebook I have set up a google cloud account
I want to perform my deep learning much more faster on a jupyter notebook, but
I cannot find a way to read my csv file
I downloaded it with wget from my github account and afterwards I tried
dataset  = pd.read_csv('/home/user/.jupyter/SIEMENSTRAIN.csv')
but I get the following error
pandas.parser.CParserError: Error tokenizing data. C error: Expected 2 fields in line 3, saw 12
Why? When I read it on my laptop using my jupyter notebooks, everything runs well
Any suggestions?
I tried the recommended solutions for this error and I got the next warning
/home/user/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ipykernel/main.py:1: ParserWarning: Falling back to the 'python' engine because the 'c' engine does not support regex separators; you can avoid this warning by specifying engine='python'.
  if name == 'main':
When I ran dataset.head() this is what appeared

Any help please?

A: There are a number of possibilities that could be causing the problem... I would first always make sure that Pandas (pd)'s version is updated and compatible.
The more likely cause is that the CSV itself is not right, so pd.read_csv() is not able to work correctly (thus a Parse Error). This may have something to do with the headers, though I'm not sure what your original CSV file looks like. It's worth playing around with read_csv, for example:
df = pandas.read_csv(fileName, sep='delimiter', header=None)

This tampers with 2 things - the delimiter, and if pd is reading a header from CSV or not.
I go through some pd.read_csv() stuff in my book about Stock Prediction (another cool Machine Learning problem) and Deep Learning, feel free to check it out.
Good Luck!

A: I tried what you proposed and this is what I got
So, any suggestions?
I suppose that the path is ok, but it just won't be read properly, or am I wrong?
