Q: prestashop 1.7, how add configuration link of module on admintab? I have create a module, and i want to see him in the admintab (in left). But when a click on the link, i want to be redirect to the configuration of the module.
Here many picture to help you to understand.
My admintab

When i click on the link my page

But i want to go to my configuration module

I have create AdminYoutubeHomeController
How in this i can do redirect to my module ? I search but i found nothing...
Thanks by advance

A: Redirect your admin controller to module configuration:
class AdminYourModuleController extends ModuleAdminController
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        Tools::redirectAdmin(Context::getContext()->link->getAdminLink('AdminModules').'&configure=yourmodule');
    }
}

And then display module configuration with function getContent() in your module main class.

A: from presta 1.7 a property tabs is defined for add tab to admin backoffice menu in your module define this public property and add a file in yourmoduledirectory/controllers/admin/{class_name}Controller.php that extends ModuleAdminController e.g:
class AdminPLevelController extends ModuleAdminController
{

    public function renderView()
    {
        Tools::redirectAdmin($this->context->link->getAdminLink('AdminHome'));
    }
  }

and my module file is like this,(my module name is plevel)
<?php

if (!defined('_PS_VERSION_')) {
    exit;
}

class Plevel extends Module
{
    public $tabs = array(
        array(
            'name' => 'Price Level', // One name for all langs
            'class_name' => 'AdminPLevel',/**this is class_name defined in above code*/
            'visible' => true,
            'parent_class_name' => 'ShopParameters',
        ));
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->name="plevel";
        $this->tab="dashboard";
        $this->version="1.0.0";
        $this->author="javaheri.ghazaleh@gmail.com";
        $this->need_instance=0;
        $this->ps_versions_compliancy=array('min'=>'1.6','max'=>_PS_VERSION_);
        $this->bootstrap=true;
        $this->context=Context::getContext();
        $this->displayName=$this->l("plevel");
        $this->description=$this->l("change order print page");
        $this->confirmUninstall=$this->l('Are you sure you want to uninstall');
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function install()
    {
        if (!parent::install())
            return false;
        return true;
    }

    public function uninstall()
    {
        if (!parent::uninstall())
            return false;
        return true;
    }

}

A: Look this link for create adminCOntroller on the module : https://webkul.com/blog/create-modules-admin-controllers-without-creating-tab-prestashop/

In Prestashop while creating a module mostly we need to create Admin Controllers. In the module, to make an admin controller work we must create an entry of that admin controller's class in _DB_PREFIX_.'tab' table. And generally, we make all these entries at the time of module installation.
So if you are creating your admin controllers in your module you can create it with two cases –
You want to create a tab for your admin controller.
You want to create your admin controller without creating a tab for it.
For example your want a controller which opens on click of a link and many other cases may be there.
Lets understand the process of both case with examples-
Lets we have created a function with name inatallTab() which makes entries in the 'tab' table for our module's admin controllers.
// Lets you want to create a child tab under 'Shipping' Tab. As we know Shipping Tab's class name is 'AdminParentShipping'
$this->installTab('AdminMyControllerName', 'My Tab Name', 'AdminParentShipping');

// Lets you want to create a parent tab. Then call the installTab() like below example-
$this->installTab('AdminMyControllerName', 'My Parent Tab Name');

CASE-1 : Admin Controller  with Tab

        $tab->id_parent = (int) Tab::getIdFromClassName($tabParentControllerName);
        // e.g. $tabParentControllerName = 'AdminParentAdminControllerName'
        // Here $tabParentControllerName  is the name of the controller under which Admin Controller's tab you want to put your controller's Tab

    } else {

        // If you want to make your controller's Tab as parent Tab in this case send id_parent as 0
        $tab->id_parent = 0;
    }

    // $this->name is the name of your module to which your admin controller belongs.
    // As we generally create it in module's installation So you can get module's name by $this->name in module's main file

    $tab->module = $this->name;
    // e.g. $this->name = 'MyModuleName'

    $tab->add();
    // make an entry of your tab in the _DB_PREFIX_.'tab' table.
}

Let's have a look how your Child or Parent tabs are created in your backoffice with the help of the below screenshot.

CASE-2 : Admin Controller  without creating Tab
If you want to create your admin controller without creating a tab in your module then you have to make a slight change in the above code which create entries of the your admin controller in the _DB_PREFIX_.'tab' table .
We just need to passs -1 for the field id_parent in the code. Lets have a look on the code for this case.

$tab = new Tab();
$tab->active = 1;
$tab->class_name = $class_name;
$tab->name = array();

foreach (Language::getLanguages(true) as $lang) {
    $tab->name[$lang['id_lang']] = $tab_name;
}

//If you don't want to create a tab for your admin controller then Pass id_parent value as -1.
$tab->id_parent = -1;

$tab->module = $this->name;

return $tab->add();

So as you have seen if we set the value if  id_parent in the _DB_PREFIX_.'tab' table as -1 .It will not create any tab for your admin controller and your admin controller will work normally.
After the above process, you just need to create your admin controller's class in your module and write code for the functions you need from your admin controller.

Q: How to sort items in folder in Plone4? I hope to sort items in folder. I find a answer in Plone: How to sort folder items.   But if there are many items in folder, it is hard to edit portal.moveObjectsToTop().
Any suggestion?
Best Regards.
Hugo

A: *

*Create a Collection content

*Set it as the Default page of the folder

*Set Collection criteria to pick up items only in this particular folder

*In Collection you can choose between various fields for sorting (Title, dates, etc.) and between ascending and descending orders
Manual sorting is a feature used with folders where there are only few pages and sort order is desirable to reflect the natural story order of the site.

Q: What is the largest chromatic number of a binary tree? This is a Discrete Math/Combinatorics Question from my homework, but I don't really understand the question.

Find largest chromatic number of a full binary tree given the following depths:
  (Check all that apply)
2, 3, 7, 12, 200

I understand that the chromatic number refers to the minimum color that you can color a graph or tree with the adjacent nodes or vertices being different colors.
So knowing this fact, I'm sure that the chromatic number for all full binary trees should be 2 since you can use two different color nodes to complete the tree. But they want me to find the largest chromatic number, which confuses me.
Am I missing something?

A: All trees are bipartite graphs and therefore 2-colorable. One way to see this is that a graph is bipartite iff it has no odd cycles, and since trees have no cycles at all, they must be bipartite. Therefore, two colors suffice regardless of the tree size.
Hope this helps!

Russia-Turkey relations have deteriorated since the crisis over the downing of a Russian aircraft in November.
Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be making another shrewd play for power in the Middle East by allying with the Kurds, in a step that undermines United States and Turkish policy in the region.
Syrian Kurds announced on Saturday that they would open their first foreign office in Moscow, with a ceremony to be held on Wednesday in a ceremony to be attended by Russian foreign ministry officials as well as representatives from several other countries, according to Abdulsalam Ali, the Syrian Kurdish envoy in Moscow.
"Our ambition is to rally support behind our Kurdish enclave in Syria through this office," said Ali, according to Rudaw. He is also a member of the Democratic Unity Party (PYD), the main political organization in Syria's Kurdish administrated areas.
The choice of Moscow and not Washington or Western Europe is telling.
Shmuel Bar, a senior research fellow at the Samuel Neaman Institute for National Policy Studies at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, said in an article for the Gatestone Institute that unification of parts of Syrian Kurdistan with Russian backing would help Iraqi Kurdistan achieve independence.
"It is highly likely that Russia will take advantage of the trend and support the Kurds, effectively turning an American ally into a Russian one," wrote Bar, a veteran of Israel's intelligence community.
Furthermore, Turkey's enmity toward US cooperation with Syrian Kurdish fighters against Islamic State, is causing tensions in American- Turkish relations, US officials said in a report in The Wall Street Journal on Monday.
Hence, Russia's Kurd gambit takes advantage of US hesitancy in fully supporting the Kurds because of worries about angering Turkey. It makes Ankara's life much more difficult as it continues fighting a Kurdish insurgency at home.
The tensions flared in public when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denounced to reporters on Friday a visit by Brett McGurk, the United States' new envoy to the coalition against Islamic State, to Kurdish forces in northern Syria.
"He visits Kobani at the time of the Geneva talks and is awarded a plaque by a so-called YPG general.
How can we trust [you]?" Erdogan said, according to Today's Zaman.
"Am I your ally or are the 'terrorists' in Kobani?" Erdogan added.
Erdogan made the comments on Friday while traveling from Dakar Senegal to Istanbul, on his way back from a Latin America tour where he visited Chile, Peru and Ecuador, Turkish media said.
Russia has used the PKK as leverage in the past vis-à-vis Turkey, she said.
The US has already developed working relations with the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia – the military wing of the PYD party – the most dominant force among the Syrian Kurds and an affiliate organization of the Kurdistan Workers Party, located in Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan and listed as a terrorist organization by the US, Turkey, and the EU.
"The US has to find a way around the Turkish ultimatum that will satisfy both Turkey and the PYD. If the US doesn't find such a formula, it will probably choose the Turkish side and that will push the Kurds closer to Russia," added Lindenstrauss.
The Kurds could use the military success of the pro-Assad forces on the ground in northern Syria as a deterrent against Turkish military action against them, she said.
The circumstances could lead the Kurds to unify their areas of control in northern Syria, something Ankara has declared as a "red line," Lindenstrauss also said.
Putin's legitimacy depends on the image of Russia which is trying to return to be a superpower, and "there are no superpowers without allies," said Course.
Therefore, said the Israeli Russian expert, the Kurds and Russia make an ideal tandem. The Kurds need all possible aid as a matter of survival and the Russians will get one more tool to pressure Turkey.
He also noted that Russia has a long history of ties with the Kurds, similar to Israel, going back to the 1960s, if not earlier. Course suggested further that this factor could provide another avenue for cooperation between Moscow and Jerusalem.


The Postdoc will coordinate and execute qualitative research in the framework of the REFUGOV project funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR). The project deals with the governance of reception facilities for refugees (refugee camps, reception centres), with a particular focus on the role of local and municipal actors, by looking at institutional settings, governance processes, and their effects on the in/exclusion of refugees, and on refugees' subjectivities. Going beyond categories of the global South and North, the case studies are Luxembourg and Jordan (the fieldwork of the Postdoc focuses on Luxembourg).


Thinking of growing in a loft or attic? The good news is it can be done. You just need to make a few smart choices. Here are 9 tricks to try when setting up a loft grow room.
Lofts aren't normally insulated. They get cold in winter, and hot in summer. This makes it tougher to control your climate.
So, the first thing to do is insulate.
Something like Kingspan Insulation Boards are great for attic grow room insulation.
If you're not going to insulate the room, insulate your tent instead.
Air from inside your home is closer to your target temperature.
It's cooler in summer, and warmer in winter (than the air in your loft). It's also richer in CO2 - we exhale CO2 when breathing.
Do not extract air into the room your tent is in.
If you do, it can end up being drawn back into your tent as intake air.
You really want to extract to an outdoor location. This is something you should be doing anyway, but is even more important when growing in a loft.
It's a struggle to get bulky bits of kit in and out of a loft grow room.
So, if possible, go for things you can expand, collapse or fold. Like a FlexiTank and Flexi-Tray. RhizoPots are pretty handy too, for all the same reasons!
The last thing you want is a loud system that you need to keep checking.
AutoPots are great as they're passive and quiet.
Spills are a pain in any grow room. But in lofts and attics it's more of a struggle to clear them up.
To be on the safe side, make sure you use catchment trays and saucers. Try to pick a system you know is unlikely to leak.
Attic roofs are sloped - to maximise height, pick a tent that also has a sloped roof.
You can use a standard flat roof tent, but you'll lose some height. When that happens, it can become an issue keeping a safe gap between your canopy and lights.
Try a BAY6 Loft Grow Tent or BudBox Roof Tent – they're the perfect fit.
You want a light that'll fit in the narrow top of your tent. One that beams light down at the right angle.
Something like a Telos LED or air-cooled lights are great. But you might get problems with a DLI or Gavita.
When growing in tight spaces, always pick a low profile light that doesn't emit much heat. This'll help make it easier to keep a safe gap between plants and your canopy layer in summer. Something like a Telos LED, CFL or air-cooled light is ideal.
In an attic, you can get sharp spikes and sudden drops in your temperature. It's harder to keep a constant climate.
To counter this, you really want to micromanage your climate. Invest in quality fan speed controllers. Use themostatic controls for heaters. Decent controllers are really worth the investment here.

Officer and cadet leader charged over alleged sexual offences
An officer who also previously ran the Trafford Volunteer Police Cadets has been charged with offences including misconduct in public office and sexual assault.
In October 2018, PC Adnan Ali was arrested on suspicion of police corruption, following a report of abuse of position for a sexual purpose.
GMP referred the matter to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) who decided the investigation should be managed, and the investigation was carried out by GMP's Major Incident Team supported by the Professional Standards Branch, under the IOPC's independent direction and control.
The 34-year-old, based in Trafford, was arrested again on 16 November 2018 on suspicion of police corruption and sexual assault and on 13 March 2019 on suspicion of sexual assault, misconduct in public office and distributing an indecent image.
The investigation was completed and evidence passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in August 2019. The CPS has now authorised charges against the officer.
A number of victims and their families have received and continue to receive specialist support and a review into the Volunteer Police Cadet scheme commenced immediately in 2018 and has seen a vast number of improvements made across the force.
PC Ali has today been charged with:
15 counts of misconduct in a public office
Five counts of sexual assault
Distribution of an indecent image of a child
PC Ali will appear before Liverpool Magistrates' Court on 5 August 2021.
Assistant Chief Constable Nicky Porter said: "I understand charges of this nature towards a Greater Manchester Police Officer will cause concern amongst the public, particularly with those who are involved in the Trafford Volunteer Police Cadets scheme. I want to offer assurances that we have worked closely with the IOPC on the investigation and a review of the cadet scheme was launched immediately following the initial report. We have and will continue to provide specialist support to all those affected by this case.

Colonial past, colonial present
It's hard to understand the present condition of the Middle East without understanding its past. And by its past, I mean its colonial past.
You can't really understand, for instance, the current state of Israel without looking at its where it came from.
Plainly, Israel is a colonial state. It's probably the most obviously colonial state in existence. Its genesis is complicated, a result of a bunch of ideologies and influences. But it was formed by colonial powers (thanks Britain!), and it continues to be one of the few expansionist colonial states.
If you've ever struggled to understand the affinity of America with Israel, sure, it's interesting and nuanced and complex, but it's also a case of like attracts like. America (and Canada, we by no means get to wash our hands of this) is a strongly colonial power, though in serious denial.
In particular US Christianity has an affinity for Israel that seems to line up with their extremely idiosyncratic doctrinal positions, like premillennialism (though by no means a new idea) and dispensationalism.
If you're a bit more pessimistic (or, as a pessimist would say, realistic), you might say that a powerful, hegemonic patron state that just happens to be a colonial power living in the lands of a fairly historically dispossessed native people having a close relationship with a client state that just so happens to be a colonial power living in the lands of a fairly recently dispossessed native people, justified for religious folk with a set of doctrines that just so happen to align along that axis… that's all a teensy bit too coincidental to be an accident.
That's not to say that there's some conspiracy to produce this result; probably not. But when things line up so nicely it's probably not just some historical accident. We have this (blissfully ignorant) tendency to assume our doctrines and ideologies influence our politics and foreign policy, as if there's no feedback there.
Is there any reason our politics wouldn't influence our doctrines, though? I can't think of any. There's plenty of doctrines to choose from, all with convincing (ish) hermeneutics and frameworks draped about them. Why not choose the one that allows you the most simpatico bedfellows?
None of this even gets into our North American history of racism, both individual and systemic (and, for Christians, doctrinal; the point above stands, when you remember that entire denominations were created around preserving the institution of slavery). I think you could probably view Israel as existing at some weird intersection of colonialism and xenophobia, since present-day Israelis tend to be white seen as white (ish), where Arabs are not. But setting that aside for now…
It's easy to say, based on all this, Israel Bad. But that cat's out of the bag. Israel is. I'm not really dealing with value judgement here, as much as (as best I can see them) facts. Israel is a fact. A fact produced by a certain history which can't just magically be undone. And it's important to recognize that the Arab states would like nothing more than to undo Israel. None of this justifies Israeli or Arab aggression. It helps to explain it, but it doesn't justify it.
It would be easier to sympathize if Israel weren't an expansionist colonial power. If they weren't trying to reclaim the "holy land" by disenfranchising and displacing Arabs.
As always, we live in the colonial present. We like to deny it, but in Canada, well within my parents' lifetimes (however blissfully ignorant of this they choose to remain) the residential school system was still in operation. If we can't acknowledge that, if we can't at the very least acknowledge our colonial past, how can we expect to escape the colonial present?

They win 3-0. Aïssa Tounkara slotted home in the 3rd minute from an early corner. Ángela Sosa doubled the lead on minute 22 after a good cut back on the left from Andrea Falcon. Some strong chances followed by Ludmila and Jenni Hermoso, but they had to settle for a 2-0 lead.
In the second half, Atléti had been finding it harder to pass out from the back and were often under a lot of pressure until Sosa nearly took her tally to two for the match. In a very similar move to the second goal, another cut back from Falcon finds Sosa but her shot was deflected into the goal by the opposition's goalkeeper Ainhoa in the 85th. Bilbao just couldn't find the target and Atlético come away with the 3 points.
This is the 15th game they've won, and they've lost just 1. Scored 55 goals and conceded 11. They're into the next round of the Queen's Cup too. Most of the outfield players have got a goal, but Ludmila da Silva is in front with 7 in the league and 4 in the cup.
There are sixteen teams in the league and Barcelona are 4 points behind with a game in hand (at the time of writing). They are the main threat, and it will come down to the return game of Atléti – Barça in March to see who will get the league this year.
Atlético de Madrid: Lola Gallardo; Kenti Robles (Viola Calligaris, 63), Tounkara, Laia Aleixandri, Falcon; Kaci, Meseguer; Amanda Sampedro (Olga García, 66), Jenni Hermoso (Esther, 77), Ángela Sosa (Anita Marcos, 86); and Ludmila.
Athletic Club: Ainhoa Tirapu; Andrea Sierra (Oihane, 58), Vanesa Gimbert, Ainhoa Álvarez, Eunate; Moraza, Marta Unzué, Damaris, Cirauqui (Marta, 86); Nekane (Leia, 74) and Jone Ibáñez (Azkona, 68).

Grappling with the first and second laws of thermodynamics can test the intellectual mettle of even the most dedicated student of the physical sciences. Approaching the subject for the first time may raise more queries and doubts than are usually handled in the basic, straightforward textbook.
Based on a series of lectures delivered to 500 sophomore engineering students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Dr. Van Neer's clear, lucid treatment is readily comprehensible by undergraduate-level science and engineering students. His language is informal, his examples are vivid and lively, his perspective is fresh. This book, a companion to a basic textbook, discusses thermodynamics, a topic of profound importance in the study of physics, in a manner which elucidates fundamental concepts and demonstrates their practical applicability.
In these increasingly energy-conscious and costly times, as traditional energy sources are being depleted and revolutionary new sources are contemplated, appreciating the consequences of the laws of thermodynamics is more than a fascinating avenue of intellectual inquiry: it is a pragmatic concern imperative to all — students, scientists, engineers, technicians, politicians, businessmen, and anyone facing the energy challenges of the future. Here is help understanding concepts which will prove all-important in the next century.
Dr. H. C. Van Ness is a distinguished professor of chemical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and co-author of several textbooks on thermodynamics. He is an unsurpassed as an expert in the field.
What is thermodynamics? Very briefly, it is the study of energy and its transformations. We can also say immediately that all of thermodynamics is contained implicitly within two apparently simple statements called the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. If you know anything about these laws, you know that they have to do with energy—the first, explicitly, and the second, implicitly. The First Law says that energy is conserved. That's all; you don't get something for nothing. The Second Law says that even within the framework of conservation, you can't have it just any way you might like it. If you think things are going to be perfect, forget it. The Second Law invokes a quantity called entropy, something that is not part of our experience, so we'll let it go for a time and consider first the First Law. There is a certain logic in taking up the first things first, and furthermore it allows us to deal with something we all know about, namely, energy.
What is energy? One might expect at this point a nice clear, concise definition. Pick up a chemistry text, a physics text, or a thermodynamics text, and look in the index for Energy, definition of, and you find no such entry. You think this may be an oversight; so you turn to the appropriate sections of these books, study them, and find them to be no help at all. Every time they have an opportunity to define energy, they fail to do so. Why the big secret? Or is it presumed you already know? Or is it just obvious?
For the moment, I'm going to be evasive too, but I'll return to the question. Whatever it is, one thing we know about energy is that it is conserved. That's just another way of saying that we believe in the First Law of Thermodynamics. Why do we believe in it? Certainly no one has proved it. On the other hand, no one has been able to find anything wrong with it. All we know is that it has always worked in every instance where it has been applied, and we are happy with it simply because it works. Why does it work? We haven't the faintest idea; it's just a miracle of nature. The conservation law is a description of how nature works, not an explanation. Fortunately that's all we need.
Although we do not know why it works, we do know how it works. Any conservation law says that something doesn't change, and any use of the law just involves accounting. We know there is a fixed amount of something, and we need merely find the various pieces that add up, or account for, the total. To give you an idea of how this is done, I am going to tell a ridiculous story. I've stolen the idea of this story from Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize-winning physicist and professor at the California Institute of Technology. His Lectures on Physics ¹ should be studied by every serious student of science and technology.
It is the story of 37 sugar cubes, a small boy, and his mother. To set the scene, I will ask you to imagine the boy's room at a corner of a house in rural surroundings. The room has two windows, one facing west and the other facing north. For identification, we will call them window W (for west) and window Q (sorry about that). It happens that window W overlooks a small pond. The boy (perhaps his name is Dennis) plays in this room, and his mother looks in from time to time. One day he asks his mother for some blocks to play with. She has no blocks, but she decides that sugar cubes will do. So she gives him 37 sugar cubes and tells him he is not to eat any or he'll be punished. Each time she returns to the room she counts the sugar cubes lying around, and they total 37; so all is well. But one day she counts and finds only 35. Now Dennis points to an old cigar box he plays with, and his mother starts to open it. But Dennis screams and says, Don't open the box . The mother, of course, realizes she could open the box anyway, but she's an intelligent, modern mother, and she realizes that this would be a traumatic experience for the boy; so she takes another course.
and determines the proportionality constant k by tossing a cube into the pond herself.

The Class D boys and girls worked as a team to solve the mystery, however, this was not an easy task. They had to: study the different suspects, think of and read questions in an interview, compare the different finger prints at the crime scene, match them to the rightful owner and then finally write down all of their evidence and decide who did it!
After lots of deliberation the children had a vote and the most likely suspect was... Mrs Wilkinson!

A best practice is to isolate the work of the API from the UI components that you are going to build. This is nice way to maintain a separation of concerns in your development.
In this example, we are going to do the work of creating our map in data/app.js.
Looking at this code snippet, you can see that this is where we create our map and view, except we do not attach our view to the page right away. We export a function called initialize that takes an argument for the container, which is a DOM element where our MapView will be displayed. This DOM element will come from the React component that we will write.
For our WebMap component, we are going to take advantage of a brand new feature to React called hooks. Hooks are still a React proposal and are scheduled to be finalized in early 2019, so I wouldn't recommend using them in production just yet, but I thought it would be fun to use them for this example.
There are numerous React hooks you can use, but for our purposes we are only concerned with two.
The useEffect hook is run after the React component is rendered. This makes it perfectly suited for us to use to dynamically load our data/app.js module and run the initialize function we created earlier. But how do we get the element for our component? That's where useRef comes in!
The useRef hook creates an object that exists for as long as the component is mounted. In our case, we want to keep track of the DOM element that is going to be created by our React component. We can see what this looks like in components/WebMap.js.
Now we can render this component like any other React component in our application.
Your finished application should look like this, which is a React component that displays a WebMap.

Der Lake Sammamish State Park ist ein Park am Südende des Lake Sammamish im King County im US-Bundesstaat Washington. Der Park wird vom Washington State Park System verwaltet. Der Park bedeckt eine Fläche von  und erstreckt sich auf  Ufer. Er ist für seine Aktivitäten wie Boot- und Wasserskifahren sowie andere Wassersportarten beliebt. Es gibt etwa 250 Stellplätze für Fahrzeuge mit Bootsanhängern. Der Issaquah Creek mündet im Park in den Lake Sammamish.

Der Park steht im Zentrum einer kontroversen Debatte über die ökologischen Vorteile von Biber-Populationen.

Zugang
Der State Park ist über die Ausfahrt 15 der Interstate 90 und das Nordende der Washington State Route 900 erreichbar. Vor Ort nutzt man den East Lake Sammamish Parkway SE und die NW Sammamish Road, die beide separate Abschnitte der früheren Washington State Route 901 sind. Mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreicht man den Park mit den Metro-Transit-Linien 200, 216, 217 und 927.

Einrichtungen

Der Lake Sammamish State Park bietet zahlreiche Einrichtungen für Tagestouristen, die ihnen den Aufenthalt erholsam gestalten. Diese Einrichtungen sind in drei Arealen gruppiert. Das Areal westlich des Issaquah Creek enthält Picknick-Plätze und Schutzhütten, zwei Badestrände (Tibbetts Beach und Sunset Beach), Toiletten, eine Sammelstelle für Abwässer aus Wohnmobilen und Sportplätze. Es gibt viele Parkplätze. Zu den Sportplätzen gehören zwei für Softball, sieben Großfeld- und vier Kleinfeld-Fußballplätze. Neben jeder Gruppe von Fußballfeldern sind weitere Parkplätze eingerichtet. Ein Eingang an der NW Sammamish Road bietet Zugang zu diesem Areal.

Das Areal östlich des Issaquah Creek und westlich des East Lake Sammamish Parkway enthält eine Slipanlage, Wanderwege und naturnahe Biotope. An der Slipanlage erhalten Freizeitkapitäne mit ihren Booten Zugang zum See; Parkplätze für Fahrzeuge und Anhänger sowie Toiletten sind vorhanden. Auf dem Areal östlich des East Lake Sammamish Parkway befindet sich das Hans Jensen Youth Camp. Eingänge am East Lake Sammamish Parkway SE bieten Zugang zu diesen Arealen.

Öffentliche Sicherheit
Der Park ist generell ein sicherer Ort für Besucher. Park Ranger, die hoheitliche Rechte ausüben, und Polizisten patrouillieren im Park und setzen gesetzliche Normen und Parkregeln durch. Die Eastside Fire and Rescue, eine Feuerwache der Vororte von Seattle, sorgt für Brandschutz und medizinische Notfallversorgung.

In dem beliebten Park am Seeufer haben sich auch einige Tragödien abgespielt. Einige Badende sind schon im kalten Wasser – etwa  …  im Winter und  …  im Sommer – ertrunken. Bootsunfälle zogen Personen und Sachschäden nach sich.

Am 17. Juli 2010 gab es um 9 Uhr abends einen Schusswechsel. Zu dieser Zeit war der Park voller Besucher, die einen sonnigen Sommertag genießen wollten. Die Polizei reagierte darauf und riegelte den Park ab. Feuerwehrleute und Rettungsassistenten trafen zur Versorgung der Verwundeten ein. Zwei Personen starben vor Ort, vier weitere wurden in örtliche Krankenhäuser gebracht.

Verbindung zu Ted Bundy
Der Park erlangte zeitweise traurige Berühmtheit, als der Serienmörder Ted Bundy am 14. Juli 1974 Janice Ott und Denise Naslund am helllichten Tag innerhalb von vier Stunden im Park entführte. Ihre sterblichen Überreste wurden Monate später am Straßenrand  entfernt nahe Issaquah, der nächstgelegenen Ortschaft, gefunden.

Geschichte
Das Gebiet des heutigen Parks und der Kleinstadt Issaquah hat eine lange Geschichte menschlicher Nutzung, die in die frühesten Tage der Besiedlung durch indigene Stämme zurückreicht. Die Nachkommen der Snoqualmie, Sammamish und Duwamish fischten, jagten und sammelten hier Pflanzen wie die Essbare Prärielilie (Camassia quamash) in den Pärien und Primärwäldern im Issaquah Creek Valley. Der Primärwald erstreckte sich bis zu den Südufern des Lake Sammamish.

Beginnend in den 1860er Jahren kamen fremde Jäger, Bergleute und Siedler über die Hügel aus einem Gebiet, das heute die Stadt Bellevue einnimmt, sowie das Sammamish River Valley aufwärts, um das fruchtbare Offenland des heutigen Kenmore, Bothell und Redmond zu besiedeln. Archäologische Untersuchungen haben Bäume auf dem Grund des Lake Sammamish nachgewiesen, die über 1.100 Jahre alt sind und auf seismische Aktivitäten und Erdrutsche hinweisen. Ähnliche Rutschungen geschahen im Lake Washington zu etwa derselben Zeit. Der Zustand des Sees und des umgebenden Waldes blieb höchstwahrscheinlich von der Zeit der Erdrutsche bis ins späte 19. Jahrhundert unverändert, als europäische und US-amerikanische Entdecker erstmals das Tal aufsuchten.

Weil der Lake Washington in den 1860er Jahren einen um  höheren Wasserspiegel als heute aufwies und der Spiegel des Lake Sammamish  …  tiefer als heute lag, war es möglich, langsam mit einem Dampfboot dem gewundenen Verlauf des Sammamish River vom Lake Washington bis zum Lake Sammamish zu folgen. Das Nordost-Ende des Lake Washington erstreckt sich bis zum Gebiet von Bothell und Woodinville. Frühe Versuche, die Strecke zwischen Issaquah und dem Lake Washington kommerziell zu nutzen, vorrangig für den Kohletransport von den Gruben in Issaquah, scheiterten allerdings an der geringen Geschwindigkeit, der Enge und den Windungen.

Das heutige Gebiet des Parks und Issaquahs erfuhr im letzten Abschnitt des 19. Jahrhunderts eine rasche Entwicklung. Der Primärwald mit seinen riesigen "Zedern" (eigentlich: Riesen-Lebensbäumen, Thuja plicata, ) und Tannen wurde abgeholzt und in die Sägewerke am Nordende des Sees geflößt. Bald darauf wurden die freien Flächen von Hopfen- und Milchvieh-Farmen besiedelt, die das Gelände weiter einebneten und die großen Baumstümpfe ausbrannten. Weiter oben am Issaquah Creek und am Tibbets Creek wanderten Bergleute ein, und bald war das Gebiet von Issaquah für seine Kohlengruben bekannt. Die Stadt entwickelte sich weiter und trieb die wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten (Forstwirtschaft, Jagd, Landwirtschaft, Bergbau) voran. Straßen und Eisenbahnlinien sowie Rodungen für Wohnungen, Betriebe und Farmen veränderten den Charakter der Landschaft dramatisch.

Es wurde nur wenig aufgeforstet, so dass der nachwachsende Sekundärwald eine Mischung aus Laubbäumen und wenigen heimischen Nadelbäumen darstellt. Wenn große Bäume geschlagen wurden, so wurden sie schnell durch kurzlebige Pappeln und Oregon-Ahorn ersetzt.

Die menschlichen Eingriffe haben die Rückkehr charakteristischer, langlebiger Nadelbaumarten und ihres Unterwuchses aus Bäumen, Sträuchern und Kräutern mit den heimischen Douglasien, Amerikanischen Erdbeerbäumen, Westamerikanischen Hemlocktannen, Sitka-Fichten, Hartriegeln, Purgier-Faulbäumen, Rot-Erlen und Weinblatt-Ahorn verhindert. Die trockeneren prärieartigen Gebiete boten einen Lebensraum für Oregon-Eichen und Prärielilien und wurden über hunderte – wenn nicht tausende – von Jahren durch periodische Brände der örtlich Ansässigen unterhalten. Zusammen mit den Prärielilien aus den trockeneren Gebieten ernteten die ortsansässigen Stämme Pracht-Himbeeren, Schneebeeren, Johannisbeeren, Huckleberrys, Nutka-Himbeeren, Geschwänzte Haselwurz (), Holunder, Oregon-Pflaumen, Felsenbirnen, Nootka-Rosen und andere Pflanzen als Nahrung und Heilpflanzen. Der Unterwuchs war voll mit Westamerikanischem Schwertfarn, Frauenhaarfarnen, Rippenfarnen, Scheinbeeren, Mahonien, Wald-Schaumspieren und anderen Pflanzen – von denen die meisten nicht mehr im Park anzutreffen sind.

Der Oberflächenabfluss der ehemals bewaldeten Gebiete übertraf bald die durch die wasserspeichernden Nadelwälder mit ihren dicken wie ein Schwamm wirkenden Böden über das Jahr nur langsam abgegebenen Wassermengen und führte zu Abflussspitzen. Der erhöhte Abfluss verursachte zusammen mit der Beseitigung der Vegetation durch Urbanisierung, Landwirtschaft, Bergbau und Straßenbau einen massiven Anstieg der Sedimentation im See. Der Aufschluss des großen Sand- und Kiestagebaus in Issaquah trug während der 1980er Jahre zur Sedimentfracht bei, bis die Versuche, die Einträge von Sedimenten und Abwässern zu begrenzen schließlich Erfolg hatten. Die fortgesetzte Sedimentation führte im 20. Jahrhundert zu einer Verschlammung der Ufer. Sedimentation und urbane Entwicklung führten zu einem Anstieg des Seespiegels um etwa  …  über dem Niveau der 1860er Jahre. Der Anstau des Oberlaufs des Sammamish River trägt zu steigenden Wasserständen bei wie auch die Sedimentfracht und die Vegetation heute den Sammamish River am Marymoor Park verstopfen. Der Bachgrund des Issaquah Creek ist gleichfalls  …  höher als einst, was ebenfalls auf eine höhere Sedimentation zurückzuführen ist. Diese Faktoren haben dazu beigetragen, dass heute Feuchtgebiete entstanden sind, wo einst relativ trockener Primär-Nadelwald stand.

All dies trägt zu den allgemein feuchten, sumpfigen Bedingungen bei, die den Park im größten Teil des Jahres plagen. Renaturierungs-Bemühungen waren bisher ineffektiv, da die Finanzierung fehlt.

← What's wrong with Arrogance?
A wise and perhaps a tad acerbic colleague of mine once commented on my then pending decision to change consulting companies with the following advice.
It was a little harsh to many of my colleagues of that time as they were in fact a highly professional and enjoyable team to work with. It was however said to make a point. The point was that if you are seeking recognition and reward, then a role that allows you to stand out from the crowd is critical.
There are many "eagle-class" performers in jobs across the world that do not receive recognition for their performance. Why? The role they have taken on simply does not permit it.
Let's assume you are a Managing Consultant. You manage a small team of 20 resources and you also bill your time to the client in both a Subject Matter Expert and Project Lead role.
then you have done your job. So have the other 100 Managing Consultants in the same role, who achieved the same result. They did the job that was expected of them and they did it well. They are just other eagles. They will receive the minimum amount of reward and recognition necessary to keep the role filled with competent resources within an acceptable level of attrition. That's simply a reality of the consulting business. It's a business with maximum returns expected to the shareholder or partnership.
So your evaluation of the role is critical to your decision to accept a new position, if recognition is an important factor to you.
Don't ask your prospective employer what defines success, ask them what gets you on-stage at the annual conference, the trip to Fiji and the $100,000 bonus and then make sure it is at least possible to achieve in the role proffered. If not, don't take it. You will be just another eagle or worse yet just another turkey.

Sideways has become a seminal wine movie, and for anyone who is serious about their wines and their movies, it is utterly unmissable. It is a comedy-slash-drama that follows a failing writer and soon-to-be-married cad on their journey through the famous Santa Ynez wine country in California. It is a classic film and one that enjoyed a rapturous reception from both the critics and lovers of American wines all over the world.
While this movie isnt as centered around wine as, say, Sideways is, wines do feature prominently throughout. The characters are regularly seen making sophisticated wine choices that seem incredibly relevant to the scene. The film itself revolves around how a lesbian couples adopted children make the decision to track down and meet their birth father. It is a great movie and the wines mentioned throughout the film serve as the perfect backdrop for the movie as a whole.
One of the great wine movies, Bottle Shock tells the famous true story of the "blind" Paris wine tasting session in 1976, which had the leading tasters in the industry pitting their palates against French and Californian wines with some very surprising results. It's safe to say that the wine industry was never the same again after this infamous wine tasting session. The film stars Alan Rickman as a wine shop owner in Paris who instigates the blind tasting test in order to make Parisians aware that quality wines were available all over the world, not just on their own shores.
This film, set in the 1930s, tells the story of an English woman, Elizabeth, who comes to live with her wealthy winemaking aunt and uncle in California during the Prohibition period. The winemaking aunt and uncle endeavor to marry Elizabeth off to another wine dynasty in the region to consolidate their strength over the industry but, of course, Elizabeth has different ideas. It's a great example of classical filmmaking and one that shows the wine industry during a considerable period of turbulence.
This is an outrageously comical tale crafted by documentary filmmakers from four different wineries in the highly respected Northern California wine country. The film revolves around a visiting wine critic and shows how the different wineries go out of their way to make sure that their wine is chosen as the best in show. It's a great addition to our list of wine movies, and one that deserves your attention despite not being quite as mainstream as some of the other movies in our list. A hidden gem.
This 1969 film is another hidden gem in our list of top 10 wine movies. The excellent tale is based on the best-selling novel by Robert Crichton and tells the story of a wine-producing village in Italy, Santa Vittoria, which in 1943 managed to successfully hide 1 million bottles of their wine in a cave before the arrival of the advancing German army. The film stars Anthony Quinn and received a highly positive critical reception following its release it's definitely a film you should seek out if you are a lover of all things wine.
This 2006 adaptation of Peter Mayles novel of the same name was met with a fairly mixed reception upon its release but if youre a fan of wine, breathtaking French scenery and, perhaps, Russell Crowe, then there is certainly plenty to be enjoyed in A Good Year. It tells the story of a workaholic investment banker who unexpectedly discovers that he has inherited a French chateau and vineyard and, through the course of the movie, learns to love the more relaxed lifestyle that winemaking affords him.
This 2004 documentary film explores the impact of globalization on the various different wine regions around the world and was written and directed by respected American filmmaker Jonathan Nossiter. The documentary also explores the effect that wine critics and consultants have on the wine industry as a whole. The film was extremely well received when it was released and was even nominated for the highly prestigious Palme dOr at the Cannes Film Festival. If you have an interest in how the wine world operates, this is the movie for you.
While the film received mostly negative reviews upon its release, it is actually a bright and breezy romantic comedy that focuses around the pursuit of the most valuable bottle of wine in history. The Year of the Comet stars Tim Daly and Penelope Ann Miller and the title of the film refers to the year that the wine was bottled, 1811, which coincided with the Great Comet of 1811.
Perhaps more notorious for Keanu Reeves wooden acting than anything else, this movie has many redeeming features which make it worth a watch not least the breathtaking California scenery that is prevalent throughout the film. A Walk in the Clouds is a love story set in the 1940s, but all the action in the film really does take second place to the wonderful vineyards that serve as a backdrop to the majority of the movies set pieces.
So, there you have it if youre a fan of wine, then these are 10 movies that you simply have to see and, its fair to say, youll still enjoy them even if wine isnt you thing!

Ewald Berndt (* 8. Januar 1902 in Ummendorf; † 15. November 1958 in Helmstedt) war ein deutscher Politiker (SPD) und Bürgermeister von Helmstedt, der in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus politisch verfolgt wurde.

Leben
Berndt war der Sohn eines Landarbeiters und besuchte die Volksschule in Ummendorf. Im Jahr 1916 begann er eine Ausbildung zum Schriftsetzer in Eilsleben und arbeitete von 1925 bis 1948 im Verlag und der Druckerei J. C. Schmidt, der das Helmstedter Kreisblatt herausgab. Dort war er zuletzt als Betriebsleiter tätig. Des Weiteren führte er von 1929 bis 1933 den Vorsitz der IG Druck und Papier und gehörte von 1931 bis 1933 dem Vorstand des Gewerkschaftskartells Helmstedt an. Anschließend war er in den Jahren 1949 bis 1950 beim Landkreis Helmstedt angestellt, ehe er bis zu seinem Tode eine Buchhandlung in Helmstedt betrieb, die mit der Braunschweigischen Presse verbunden war.

Politische Laufbahn
Im Jahr 1922 trat Berndt in die SPD ein und war von 1931 bis 1933 als deren Stadtverordneter und als Mitglied des Parteivorstands tätig. Am 28. März 1933 wurde Berndt von der SA verhaftet und schwer misshandelt, so dass er sein Mandat als Stadtverordneter niederlegte. Nach dem gescheiterten Attentat vom 20. Juli 1944 auf Adolf Hitler wurde er erneut verhaftet und ins Lager Hallendorf eingeliefert. Später wurde er in das KZ Sachsenhausen überführt. Hier wurde er im 1945 durch die alliierten Truppen befreit. Von 1945 bis 1950 war er wieder Vorsitzender des SPD-Ortsvereins Helmstedt und bis 1952 dort als Vorstandsmitglied tätig. Seit 1945 war er zudem Mitglied des Vorstands des Helmstedter Gewerkschaftsbundes und bis 1949 als Erster Vorsitzender der wiedergegründeten IG Druck und Papier eingesetzt. Am 21. Januar 1946 bestätigte ihn die britische Militärregierung in seinem Amt als Ratsherr der Stadt Helmstedt. Vom 21. Februar 1946 bis 21. November 1946 war er zudem Mitglied des Ernannten Braunschweigischen Landtages (MdL). Von 1946 bis 1956 gehörte er dem Helmstedter Rat an und bekleidete von 1946 bis 1949 das Amt des Bürgermeisters. Des Weiteren hatte er vom 1. November 1946 bis zum 27. November 1948 ein Mandat als Kreistagsabgeordneter. Berndt engagierte sich nach dem Ende des Krieges aktiv für die Bewältigung des Flüchtlingsstromes, die Beseitigung der Wohnungsknappheit sowie beim Wiederaufbau einer demokratischen Verwaltung in der Stadt Helmstedt.
