Cooper, Frank Arthur (1872–1949)
by Manfred Cross
Frank Cooper, 1940
State Library of Queensland, 111815
Frank Arthur Cooper (1872-1949), clerk and premier, was born on 16 July 1872 at Blayney, New South Wales, seventh child of Charles Cooper, a miller from England, and his Irish-born wife Mary Ann, née Scott. Educated at Blayney Public School, Frank was employed as a clerk in a Sydney warehouse until 1890 when he moved to the Church of England's Sydney diocesan registry and eventually rose to chief clerk. In 1900 he joined the Westinghouse Brake Co. Ltd. After postings to New Zealand, Melbourne and Sydney, he was sent in 1909 to Ipswich, Queensland, where the State's main railway workshops were located.
A member of the Brisbane Clerical Union, Cooper became vice-president, president and secretary of the Ipswich Workers' Political Organisation, and secretary of the Ipswich and West Moreton Eight Hour Day Union. He was a founding member of the local branch of the Workers' Educational Association, and was active in repertory theatre and the debating society. After publicly expressing support for coalminers in the general strike of 1912, he was sacked by Westinghouse. With enhanced standing in the labour movement, he worked as a journalist for several years.
In May 1915 Cooper won the Queensland Legislative Assembly seat of Bremer and joined the first majority State Labor government under T. J. Ryan. Intelligent, well read, energetic and popular, Cooper held his seat for more than thirty years. He sat on royal commissions into the administration of the railways (1917-18) and public works (1922-32), and was temporary chairman of committees in 1920-32. In addition, he was an alderman (1924-27) and deputy-mayor of Ipswich City Council. On 29 June 1925 he had married 23-year-old Agnes Maisie Hardy at All Saints Anglican Church, Booval.
The Labor government was defeated at the elections in May 1929, but Cooper survived narrowly. During A. E. Moore's administration, he distinguished himself in the Opposition with hard-hitting, well-researched speeches. Following Labor's return under William Forgan Smith, Cooper was secretary for public instruction and assistant-treasurer (1932-38). The priorities of this government, which led Queensland out of the Depression, lay in public works and improvements in health and agriculture. While neither side of the House saw any need to extend secondary education, Cooper presided over a restoration of Moore's budget cuts, some expansion in technical and rural education, and a steady increase in government scholarships.
Elected to the Queensland central executive of the Australian Labor Party in 1938, he joined its executive committee in November 1939. Having also been appointed treasurer in Forgan Smith's government on 12 April 1938, Cooper concerned himself with careful management and his second budget was the first to show a surplus since 1927. He was elected deputy-leader of the State parliamentary party in September 1940. During World War II he served on the four-member Council of Public Safety which wielded overriding powers. Japan's entry into the war on 7 December 1941, only two months after the formation of the John Curtin Federal Labor government, introduced a new element of urgency and Queensland mobilized its resources behind the war effort.
In May-June 1942 the Commonwealth government introduced uniform taxation. Queensland was one of four States which immediately but unsuccessfully challenged the measure in the High Court of Australia. Although Queensland accepted the decision, Forgan Smith decided to resign and on 9 September Cooper was elected leader. He became premier on 16 September 1942; he was, at 70, the oldest person to take this office for the first time. Cooper co-operated closely with Curtin, supporting him at A.L.P. and premiers' conferences, even when the Queensland central executive opposed the decision taken by the A.L.P. federal conference in January 1943 to permit the Militia to serve in the South-West Pacific Area. After a conference of Federal and State governments, in November the Commonwealth called for a referral of powers for the duration of the war and five years thereafter. In the following months only Queensland and New South Wales passed the necessary draft amending bill. Cooper subsequently campaigned, with his Federal colleagues, in the unsuccessful referendum held on 14 August 1944.
Preparing for the 1944 State election, Cooper travelled throughout Queensland, revitalizing party organization and delivering his policy speech—a comprehensive programme for postwar reconstruction—at Ipswich. His government was returned with a reduced majority on 15 April and E. M. Hanlon took over the treasurership. In March 1945 Cooper departed on a tour of Britain. As acting-premier, Hanlon carried legislation to establish a Queensland Housing Commission and to approve agreements with the Commonwealth for housing and hospital benefits. Cooper resumed his duties on 5 November 1945, but was prepared to make way for Hanlon: he resigned as party leader on 6 March 1946 and as premier next day.
Appointed lieutenant-governor on 24 April 1946, Cooper was acting-governor until Sir John Lavarack was sworn in on 1 October. Cooper was a member (from 1946) of the senate of the University of Queensland and of the Anglican synod; he was also president of the Church Army and of the Brisbane City Mission. Survived by his wife and daughter, he died on 30 November 1949 at his Kedron home and, after a state funeral, was cremated. His constructive role as a wartime premier has been overshadowed by the achievements of his vigorous predecessor Forgan Smith and by those of his able successor Hanlon. Widely respected for his sincerity, great charm of manner and quiet dignity, Cooper was a capable politician and a gifted speaker, blessed with a delightful sense of humour.

San Francisco aims to crack down on rowdy…
San Francisco aims to crack down on rowdy nightclubs
SAN FRANCISCO – This historically hard-partying city is poised to adopt a get-tough ordinance that officials hope will allow the swift shutdown of nightspots that become magnets for violence.
The measure giving San Francisco's beleaguered Entertainment Commission the power to revoke the operating permits of troubled clubs comes after residential complaints about noise, unruliness and gunplay, mostly outside popular spots in the wee-morning hours.
Last month, there was a fatal shooting outside a popular Mission Bay nightclub. And six months ago, a hail of 44 bullets outside a notorious club in the Fisherman's Wharf area left one person dead and four critically injured.
"San Francisco has had a very vibrant nightlife with many clubs who have operated very well without affecting their surroundings," said David Chiu, a county supervisor whose district encompasses the Wharf, North Beach, Union Square and Nob Hill.
"But unfortunately we've had some problematic clubs with histories of violence," said Chiu, saying the city is averaging a club-related shooting a month.
Mayor Gavin Newsom, who this spring questioned the commission's effectiveness, is expected to sign the measure into law this week.
The violent revelry has become cause for concern even in this tolerant international tourist destination where during the Gold Rush, seedy bayside establishments for sex, gambling and drinking were known as the Barbary Coast.
Enraged residents have complained for years that the seven-member politically appointed Entertainment Commission, which regulates and promotes city nightlife, has turned a blind eye to the problem because of the financial benefits partygoers bring to the city. Some critics said the panel should be shut down for failing to take prompt action against clubs with recurring problems.
However, the commission's acting executive director, Jocelyn Kane, said a few bad clubs have fueled a perception that the city's dancing and drinking venues are unsafe.
"Ninety-nine percent of our establishments are extremely responsible," Kane said. "Stuff happens sometimes, but now we have the tools to act swiftly to determine whether a venue hasn't acted as responsibly as they should."
About 2 percent of the city's 1,500 recognized nightspots now are considered trouble spots, said police Cmdr. Jim Dudley.
The ordinance is long overdue, Dudley said. "If this is used quickly and judiciously, it could help the industry and public safety," he said.
Previously, the commission had authority to temporarily suspend a venue's operating permit but it could be revoked only if the owner falsified the permit application.
But with the Board of Supervisors recently voting unanimously to expand the commission's power to revoke a venue's permit, Chiu said, "There's no more excuses."
Kane said the commission will make the most of its expanded powers. "We do not take violence lightly and we will respond swiftly," she said. "We care about this city and that's why I'm confident we will be here year after year."
For more than three years, Club Suede, the Fisherman's Wharf nightspot, was on the radar of the commission and police. Neighbors repeatedly said the two-story club was too crowded, too loud and did little to tame the debauchery that occurred at closing time.
After 100 police responded to the fatal gunfire outside the club in February, Club Suede had its license suspended. It remains closed.
Newsom chimed in during a spring hearing on the club's fate.
"Enough is enough. I want to put an end to this. This is taking a lot of time, this one club," Newsom said. "People are spending a lot of energy to shut it down, and it shouldn't be this hard."
The episode prompted City Attorney Dennis Herrera to file a lawsuit in April to shut the club down permanently. Herrera and Suede's owners are currently in settlement talks.
"Going after reckless establishments … isn't simply about protecting clubgoers and neighbors, it's about protecting responsible operators, and standing up for one of our city's most important cultural attractions and business sectors," Herrera said.
The commission's Kane said she hopes the ordinance will make problem-prone clubs venue think twice about how they operate.
She noted that some locales recently have been shying away from DJ-driven "ultra lounges" with large crowds and trending more toward events featuring live bands.
"Many people who come to party in San Francisco, leave happy and come back again," Kane said. "That's how it should be."

I've written about Unit Testing and Build Automation in the past, but mostly dealing with Java projects and tools (because I usually write about things I'm working on at the time). Well, I've started a .NET project for the first time in a while so I want to solve some of the samde problems in this environment.

Why MSBuild?

In the Java world, the natural choice for automation is usually Ant. NAnt was created for the as a work alike for the .NET platform and is a very good tool. I've build custom extensions for database automation in the past and used it successfully. So why would I consider MSBuild? With the advent of Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft included MSBuild as the build tool for its projects. All of the project files generated by Visual Studio are MSBuild files in disguise. This makes it really easy to leverage the project files to chain together a nice automated build.

Why NUnit?

Microsoft is a true believer in Not Invented Here and as such they created their own Unit Testing framework that looks and acts exactly the same as NUnit. The MS XUnit framework only comes with the higher-end Team System versions of Visual Studio. In addition it is very hard to deploy the DLLs to build systems. The only way to get the proper DLLs installed is to install the full Visual Studio. That seems like a really big problem to me. With NUnit you can include the needed DLLs in your version control system and reference them in the project which makes it very easy to build and test code and use a Continuous Integration process.

How to Integrate MSBuild and NUnit

Here's the good news, all of the work has been done for you. The good people at Tigris.org (the creators of Subversion) have created a series of MSBuild Tasks filling in the gaps that MSBuild was missing. One of the included Tasks is an NUnit task. Their hard work and the simple script below should get ou started with a build that can run your tests as well.

Example Build File

{% highlight xml %}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

	<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets" />
	<PropertyGroup>
		<Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration>
		<ClassLibraryOutputDirectory>bin\$(Configuration)</ClassLibraryOutputDirectory>
		<ProjectDir>ProjectName</ProjectDir >
		<ProjectTestDir>ProjectNameTest</ProjectTestDir >
		<ProjectFile>$(ProjectDir)\ProjectName.csproj</ProjectFile >
		<TestProjectFile>$(ProjectTestDir)\ProjectNameTest.csproj</TestProjectFile >
	</PropertyGroup>

	<Target Name="Build">
		<MSBuild Projects="$(ProjectFile)" />
		<MSBuild Projects="$(TestProjectFile)" />
	</Target>

	<Target Name="Test" DependsOnTargets="Build">
		<CreateItem Include="$(ProjectTestDir)\$(ClassLibraryOutputDirectory)\*.Tests.dll">
			<Output TaskParameter="Include" ItemName="TestAssembly" />
		</CreateItem>
		<NUnit Assemblies="@(TestAssembly)" />
	</Target>
</Project>

{% endhighlight %}

The "Test" target above uses the NUnit task to run all of the NUnit Tests found in the DLL. There are a number of different ways to create ItemGroups ins MSBuild, all of which are odd and confusing. If anyone has any ideas on what the best practices in this regard, let me know.

One final plug for my favorite Visual Studio plugin, ReSharper. It includes support for NUnit. It will help you create NUnit Tests and then lets you run them and debug them from within your IDE. It's almost like you have a real IDE all of a sudden!

Nine Entertainment Co. surged by the most in seven weeks after the Australian broadcaster agreed to sell its events business to Affinity Equity Partners Ltd. funds for A$640 million ($491 million).
The stock rose 3.7 percent to A$2.23 at the close in Sydney, the most since Feb. 26. The shares earlier gained as much as 9.8 percent. Selling the ticketing and exhibitions unit will leave Nine debt-free for the first time since a 2006 buyout.
The deal is Affinity's largest solo acquisition and its second in Australia in the past 12 months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Nine said it will have "significant balance sheet flexibility" to explore options including increasing returns to investors through dividends and buybacks.
The sale will be completed July 31 and result in net proceeds of about 64 cents per share, Sydney-based Nine said in a statement Thursday. Nine Live comprises the Ticketek ticket-sales business, sports events and exhibitions, and the Allphones Arena venue in Sydney's Olympic Park.
Nine could acquire rural broadcasters Southern Cross Media Group Ltd. or WIN Corp. if media regulations change, Fraser McLeish, an analyst at Credit Suisse Group AG in Sydney, wrote in a Dec. 11 note to clients.
Hong Kong-based Affinity was involved in groups that bought into Kyobo Life Insurance Co. and United Test & Assembly Center Ltd. for $1.07 billion and $1.43 billion respectively, and paid A$336 million for about a one-third stake in Virgin Australia Holdings Ltd.'s frequent-flier program in October.
Nine's largest shareholders are U.S. funds Apollo Global Management LLC and Oaktree Capital Group LLC. They took control of the country's second-largest free-to-air broadcaster in a 2012 debt-for-equity swap, which wiped out most of the A$5.75 billion invested by CVC Capital Partners Ltd. in buying the company from billionaire James Packer's Publishing & Broadcasting Ltd. in transactions starting in 2006.

Laser-cut, "Ted Fancher Precision-Pro" Hard Point Handle Kits are available again. PM for info.
Not a fan of eBay. And he has them priced about right being discontinued.
Wish we could find the guy that got the last batch made. I searched but could not find the thread.
There is a rumor out there about a carbon version of this prop being developed by Mike Hazel at ZZprops.
I spoke with Randy today.....he is out, but is working on more soon.
Rick Bollinger was the guy who got TT to make the last batch.
Why do you want such illegal copied props by TT and why don't you buy the original props by Yoshioka?
The only important thing is the price?
We wanted the TT's because they were cheap, worked good, and were available..
So what is the source for "Yoshioka" props ?
Have you guys tried the new Master Airscrew GF props? They are much improved and I'll bet the 11-5 would be a good replacement for the TT prop.
I recall looking up Yoshioka propellers online some years ago. We have no source for them over here, and IIRC, they're out of production at Yoshioka also. The Thunder Tiger Cyclone propellers were actually made in China. I would wonder if TT even knew they were a knock-off of a Yoshioka propeller.
Aki where is the info for the original Yoshioka props ?
I don't see any props and not much English.
I don't know whether Yoshioka still produce the Glass Nylon Props or not. I haven't contacted with them for some years and they had some stock of the props at that time.
You can see their lineup though it is Japanese.
Yep I see the props but you can't click on any of them. So looks like they are out of the prop business.
Looks like the Yoshioka 11x4.5 prop is listed as part number 207, and priced at 700 Yen (~$6.21).
Who knows if they are currently available, though.
I think the "Great wizards" of modeling are trying to tell us we're all supposed to be flying "Electric" now just like they told us we were all supposed to be flying R/C back in the 70's.
Some of us just never seem to conform to their wishes...wonder why that is!
I have reached out to my contact at TT again about more props but as of now have no response. But I am afraid if they agree to make a run of these it will be a substantial amount and I don't want to get stuck with a bunch of these props I mean 100s. I will keep everyone posted on what I hear.
Meanwhile, this week brought an email from Mike Hazel, aka "ZZ Prop". My guess is that Mike has not been terribly into the TT 11x4.5 project because he's not using them on his current stunt model (a PSJ profile Corsair with a Saito 40).
However, Mike said: "have noted interested on Stunthanger regarding that TT prop again. I should have these in production by January. I actually have the mold cast, but need to do the finish work on it. No time for that right now, but soon. Mike"
Mike just posted over in the classifieds of the other forum that he will be taking orders next month.

A New Line of Home Décor Merges Greek Symbolism With Greenwich Village Style
Lito collection 2018 | © Lito x L'Objet
A new collaboration between Athens-based designer Lito and Elad Yifrach, founder of Greenwich Village's boutique lifestyle and home goods store L'Objet, showcases a whimsical new collection rooted in symbolism, mysticism, and a touch of gold.
Lito collection 2018 © Lito x L'Objet
L'Objet made its debut in the New York design scene with a new flagship store on Bleecker Street in 2016. Their curated mix of globally-inspired soft goods (pillows, blankets, etc.) and homewares occasionally delve into the realms of romanticism and whimsy, and their latest collection is no exception.
After noticing Lito's jewelry in a chance encounter on the shores of Mykonos, L'Objet's founder Elad Yifrach decided to partner up with the jewelry designer to create a new home collection. Rather than focusing on wearable art, they'd pool their talents to design handmade objects made for the home. The result is a symbolic collection featuring a bold eye motif that elegantly bridges the link between Greece and New York, while highlighting ancient tradition and modernism.
Here's what designer Lito had to say about the collection…
Lito collection © Lito x L'Objet
Culture Trip: What personally connects you to the eye motif? What are your associations and real-world experiences with it?
Lito: In the Greek culture, the eye motif is a talisman for protection and good luck. That specific eye feels very real and strong for me. I believe it "speaks" to my soul and reminds me to be present in life, to enjoy every moment of it. I wear it to remind to myself that I am strong, and that as long as I have faith, I can do anything.
CT: What was the collaborative design process like between you and Elad?
Lito: It was [similar] to dancing. Whimsical and harmonious. We both had the same vision so this collection was easy to design.
CT: What were some of your inspirations for this collection?
Lito: The collection was actually inspired by my global travels, as different designs are linked to different cities. The small colored plates with eyes remind me of Studio 54 in New York, where women were wearing extensive eyeliner, barely dressed, and life was all about having fun. The green "Vide Poche," [on the other hand], is inspired by Mexico's strong sun: the beams around the eye are like the ones you see on the talismans they make within the Mexican culture.

CT: Why did you decide to launch to collection in New York City?
Lito: Greenwich Village is the flagship store of L'Objet, so launching the collection there was very symbolic. The store means so much to Elad.
CT: Given the spiritual and esoteric connections of the eye motif (related to the all-seeing eye/ evil eye/ warding away evil), how do you think this is connected to the art of letter writing?
Lito: Having an eye on the card, for me, is more about trying to be closer to the receiver of the letter. It's as if a part of you (physically) is in the card that you send.
CT: Do you think Mykonos, where you first met Elad, played a role in this design?
Lito: I think the paperweight definitely has a Cycladic minimalistic feeling; it's all white with perfect curves, just like the ones you see in Mykonos.
CT: The idea of a classic stationery set can feel antiquated in our digital age, but do you hope there's a rekindling of the art of letter writing?
Lito: I really hope that people will start [handwriting letters] again. And that stationery is so beautiful and symbolic, it really invites you and inspires you to write. I have kept all the cards and little notes my parents and sisters have given me, and I have to say, their words are my biggest force and inspiration. Nothing is stronger than words. Even the most luscious gift loses a lot of its value without a card. It's all in the words.

What a busy week! At least you were active and enjoying friends!
I love the mystery hearts 😉.
Thanks, Corina. Kinda cool, eh?
A lovely week of cake and celebrations, with some gorgeous scenery along the way – and I love the magic of those mysterious hearts.
What a lovely summary of your week, glad to have been a part of it!
It was for sure and let's face It, Saturday was great!
I always order chocolate–and your cake looks super yummy, and so do the pancakes. YUM!
Wasn't it fabulous indeed, Merrill! The type of movie that stays with you for a few days.
It is a family favourite 😉. Been making it for over 25 years now!
You had a wonderful weekend … and I would love that cake! .. Haven't seen The Shape of Water … well, not yet … but all that cold and snow, nah baby nah.
And, good grief! Where do you find these things! That video was a hoot. No. I need someone to STOP doing the Heikki Lunta dance!!!
I simply have a knack for remembering oddities.
Ha Ha Ha!!! You are the best, dear Rochelle.
(And thanks for the heads up on my missing "T"). If I could, I would accompany you to see the movie. Since we are one time-zone and an approximate 21-hour drive apart, I fear I cannot. I highly recommend you go it alone, if needs be!
First, that cake makes me drool :-). You are just so amazing in that kitchen! Second, I also was not going to see the shape of water but now I may, given your rec. And third, it warms my heart to see so many hearts in your life. All of it so very much deserved!
I was surprised how much I liked it… go for it!
And. aww shucks. Thank you. You are more than sweet!
Hitchhiking hearts seem to be running rampant in your neck of the woods.
I know, Right? What up wit dat?
Dunno. Randomness or either flirtatious presage. Either way, it's better than having a bunch of squirrels camped out in front throwing nuts at your house.
I like the mystery of the hearts, the fabulous cakes and the general sense of good friends and family in this. Great photos, especially of "your river". I hope your knee is better.
I truly believe the duo hearts are a freaky happening, not on purpose – but still very cool. I am so very glad you enjoyed this week's offerings and the knee is pretty good, thanks!


As German citizens you are not required to obtain a work permit if you want to work in another EU Member State/EEA State or Switzerland. You are entitled to a residence permit and freedom of movement.
Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and a bilateral agreement reached with Switzerland on 12 June 1999 form the basis of the European legislation.
Germans who are planning a research stay in a country outside of the above-mentioned region, i.e. neither within the European Union/EEA nor Switzerland, must contact the representation of the respective country in Germany to find out about the valid regulations. The same applies to citizens of other countries staying in Germany for research stays in and outside of Europe.
As a rule, fellowship recipients do not need a work permit. You do, however, need a visa and residence permit for your research work abroad.
If you are working as an employee ("Angestelltenverhältnis") at an institution of higher education or research in Germany and wish to take up a research position abroad, you must bear in mind that if you return to a position at an institution of higher education or research in Germany, your employment in the other country will not usually be recognised with regard to pay scale classification(e.g. age bracket, seniority, probationary periods).
If you are working as a civil servant ("Beamtenverhältnis") and return to Germany after holding a research position in another EU Member State, periods of time spent abroad can only be recognized under certain circumstances. Details should be discussed with your employer in advance. Special regulations (cf. Delegation Regulations ["Entsendungsrichtlinien"] - 2005, p. 1073) apply to positions with European institutions (e.g. EMBL).

Finalists Announced for THE VOICE OF BLACK OPERA
The competition will be staged at Birmingham Town Hall on 5 December 2022.
by Blair Ingenthron Nov. 26, 2022
Black British Classical Foundation has announced the five singers who have been chosen to advance to the Grand Final Concert of the Voice of Black Opera competition to be staged at Birmingham Town Hall on 5 December 2022.
The five finalists, selected at Semifinal rounds featuring artists from throughout the Commonwealth held in Birmingham on 24 and 25 November, will be accompanied by the Welsh National Opera (WNO) Orchestra, conducted by Matthew Kofi Waldren. The concert will be hosted by Marverine Cole.
Along with voice type and nationality, the finalists are: Rachel Duckett - soprano (British), Chantelle Grant - mezzo-soprano (Canadian), Thando Mjandana - tenor (South African), Yolisa Ngwexana - soprano (South African), and Isabelle Peters - soprano (British).
Each singer's repertoire at the concert will include a performance of at least one contemporary song or aria by a Black or South Asian composer and finalists will also perform a duet with other professional singers.
Chair of the judging panel for the Final will be internationally renowned tenor and composer Tom Randle. He will be joined by Aidan Lang - General Director of Welsh National Opera, Stephan Meier - Artistic Director of Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, Jean Ronald La Fond - tenor and vocal coach, Philip Herbert - composer, Rupert Christiansen - writer and critic, and Odaline de la Martinez - composer and conductor.
Two prizes will be awarded at the Final: The Sir Willard White Trophy (the winner will be awarded £10,000, repertoire coaching with music staff of Welsh National Opera, and a concert appearance with the WNO Orchestra); The Samuel Coleridge Taylor Award (the recipient will receive £5,000 and three performances of a specifically commissioned new work from Daniel Kidane for voice and ensemble with The Birmingham Contemporary Music Group. This will be presented to the singer who, in the judges' opinion, gives the best performance of a contemporary song by a Black or South Asian Composer.)
Each finalist will be fitted with a bespoke fashion item, designed by students of Birmingham City University (BCU) School of Fashion & Textiles, to wear at the Final. Bespoke jewellery will also be made for the singers by students of the BCU Birmingham School of Jewellery.
The Voice of Black Opera Competition is organised by Black British Classical Foundation in collaboration with Welsh National Opera, to showcase the finest Black and South Asian singers as they launch international operatic careers.
Black British Classical Foundation exists to address classical music's under-representation of people from ethnic minority backgrounds. The first Voice of Black Opera competition was held in 2008 and helped launch the careers of winners Elizabeth Llewellyn, Peter Braithwaite and Nadine Benjamin. From this year the relaunched competition will be held biennially.
Vincent Osborne, BBCF Founder and Artistic Director, says: "I've been blown away by the Semifinals, and the Grand Final Concert of the Voice of Black Opera competition at Birmingham Town Hall on 5th December promises to be an unforgettable night of exceptional talent. Sharing the joy of opera, these artists will inspire people, so they too can say yes, I will begin - or continue - my own journey to become a singer, a classical musician, or a passionate supporter of this wonderful artform."

Welcome to my FIRST Daring Baker's Challenge!!
Please excuse the small font. This is going to be a LOOOONG post with LOTS of pictures!
To win the prize, my chocolate candies had to use tempered chocolate. Which I did NOT use. :( But I didn't have the supplies, and as a poor college kid... well, you understand. But it's still on my to do list!
The recipes below are super delicious. The truffles couldn't be any easier to make, and they are SO addicting - especially if you love lime flavored anything, like I do! The Pate de Fruit, or "fruit jellies" as the American nation calls them, are also tasty and really remind me of my childhood.
I use to take ballet when I was very young, although I don't remember the exact age. I was still being homeschooled, I do know that. It was probably around 5th grade or something. I remember that there was a girl in my class; I think he name was either Eliza or Elisa or something like that. I went other house one day, and her mother was making chocolate pudding in a blender. Made with none other than... tofu! Oh, I thought it was the most BIZARRE thing. And I didn't like it, either. I bet I would like it now!
Anyways. Some days after ballet class (which, BTW, my teacher was EXTREMELY rude!! I couldn't stand her. She would call us marshmallows, piles of dung, watermelons...basically, she kept calling us fat.) we would go to this little store down the road that had lots of little knick knacks.
You know, the ones that are in the shapes of orange, lime, and lemon slices. With edible rind and covered in sugar. I'm still CRAZY about those things, although I don't eat them anymore.
With my recipe here, I took the original recipe and made it a *bit* better for you by using evaporated cane juice instead of white sugar. I call them "roaring" cherry pate de fruit because I used a combination of bing cherries and dragon (ROAR!) fruit to make them!
Let's start off with the Strawberry Mojito Truffles!
1. Place chocolate in a large heatproof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, warm Mimicreme or vegan milk of choice.
3. Pour warmed milk over chocolate and stir until all chocolate has melted.
4. Add remaining ingredients and stir until everything is well combined.
5. Pour chocolate mixture into a deep container to firm up (I used an 8x8 cake pan, but you can use any deep container).
6. Allow to cool in the fridge until mixture is firm.
7. Melt another full bag of vegan chocolate chips in a saucepan (this recipe calls for almost 2 bags total of chocolate chips - this includes what was used already in the ganache filling).
8. Pull filling out of fridge and using a teaspoon or melonballer, scoop out little balls of filling.
9. Roll filling in hands (wear gloves so this won't be messy!) until you have little balls. With a fork, dip each ball in melted chocolate and set aside.
These things are so addicting. Seriously. The 40 it made were gone in two days!!
1.	Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with aluminium foil or parchment paper and spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
2.	Place fruit in a food processor and blend until pureed.
3.	Pour fruit through a strainer into a medium saucepan. Stir in the lemon juice and 1/2 cup of the sugar, place the pan over medium-high heat, and insert a candy thermometer.
4.	Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it is hot, around 140°F/60°C. Add the remaining sugar and the liquid pectin, and lower the heat to medium.
5.	Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture registers 200°F/93°C.Turn the heat to low and hold it at 200°F/93°C for 2-3 minutes. After this, return the heat to medium and bring it up to 225°F/107°C.
6.	Once the fruit paste reaches 225°F/107°C, turn the heat to low and keep it at that temperature for an additional 2-minutes.
7.	Remove the pot from the heat and pour mixture into the prepared pan.
8.	Allow the fruit mixture to set at room temperature for several hours, until completely cool and firm. Cut into 1'' squares and roll in the evaporated cane juice.
Sorry mine aren't the prettiest :) But they were yummy! You could totally substitute kiwi for the dragonfruit. The dragonfruit did give this mixture a bit of a kiwi flavor, and its edible seeds definitely remind me of kiwi as well! Yum.
Please excuse the weird faces. It was tasty.
Strawberry mojito truffles? Yum! And I definitely understand the small font. These Daring Baker posts tend to get quite long!
Welcome to the Daring Bakers! You totally rocked your first challenge! Both your truffles and pate de fruit sound uh-may-zing! Great job!!
The strawberry mojito truffles also sound amazing.
Great work on the challenge and thank you for taking part.

Nick....  We'll ALL miss you dearly. Rest in Peace, my friend.
Nick, while riding a bicycle trail in Vermont over the weekend, suffered a fall, he apparently suffered some head injuries resulting in hemorrhaging in the brain and passed away suddenly, local paramedics were quickly on the scene & worked vigorously to tend to his injuries.
The family is still in the process of contacting people & asked me to reach out to the satellite community.
Any details about the arrangements should be in the local Burlington Free Press newspaper, burlingtonfreepress.com.
As I receive any additional information I will post it to the various BB's.
Please pass any information along any of the other social media conveyances.
Nick will be missed by the satellite community.


This past week my stepdaughter, Chloae, turned 18, thus officially becoming an adult in many ways. As I pondered the poignancy of that it occurred to me that as young people come of age, food is something that tends to change too. Is there such a thing as adult food?
There is an adventurous side to food too, and I think this gets explored as we start to come of age. I remember a summer in my teens where my cousin and I made Dagwood sandwiches of all size and description, with ingredients that we would have previously snubbed. Red onion slices became an exotic addition to ham sandwiches, and eating cheese that didn't come in its own plastic sleeve all of a sudden was cool. We definitely wanted to be cool, so we tried all the fancy adult things in the fridge and the cupboards.
I think if any kind of food or drink is associated with the "coolness" of adulthood, it is alcohol. Quite often the ritual involves nothing more than the theory of "more is better", but I wonder if perhaps the aftermath is bittersweet as we usually discover that overindulging just because you can is rather anti-climatic. The maturity there comes in learning how powerful a hangover can be; you discover that as an adult you can punish yourself for your bad behavior!
Maybe we do have rituals that are not presented at a coming of age party but are unwritten rules. As I seem to recall, once I got older my parents just took it for granted that I WOULD eat my broccoli. Looking back, I suppose it was akin to giving up my blankie when my little brother was born; I just knew deep down that I was expected to step up to the plate (up to the table?) and be a big girl. I was fortunate to have parents that cared about good food, and they taught me a great deal about cooking and eating while I was growing up. As an adult, I love to share that passion with young people and see them discover new tastes.
As an adult you always have to consider being responsible, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun. We are off to Wauconda, Washington, for our yearly sock hop trip this weekend, and I fully intend to indulge in some homemade pie with ice cream mid-way through the dance. We'll stop at Bonaparte Lake for their classic "greasy spoon" burgers, and I am sure we'll stop at the local grocery store for some silly treats to have on the road. When Chloae was younger and she joined us on the trip, I know that food was part of the memory she formed. She won't be coming this year as she has her own adult responsibilities now, but I am glad that we didn't forget to show her a taste of our nostalgia as she was growing up.


Become a Grapeivore by making this recipe!
Place all ingredients into the bowl of a good blender and purée until blended and slushy, about 2 minutes. Serve in margarita glasses and garnish with a lime slice.
This is a slightly more fiber and nutrient filled version of the classic beachside beverage. Rim the glass with coarse salt if you like it, otherwise, just garnish with a slice of lime.

New year's honours 2022: Who got what in the schools community
56 people with links to England's schools have been recognised
Freddie Whittaker
Academics want reform of 'narrow' phonics focus
Poorer pupil progress 'increasingly difficult' to measure
An academy trust sector body chief, the government's behaviour tsar and the boss of a teacher training charity are among those recognised in the 2022 new year's honours list for services to education.
Confederation of School Trusts (CST) chief executive Leora Cruddas and Teach First boss Russell Hobby have received the CBE. ResearchED founder and Department for Education behaviour adviser Tom Bennett has received the OBE.
Founded in 2018 to replace the Freedom and Autonomy for Schools – National Association, the CST now represents almost 60 per cent of academies in England. As its leader, Cruddas advises the government on various issues and lobbies on behalf of the sector.
Cruddas
The former director of policy at the ASCL school leaders' union, said she was "enormously proud of everything my board, my team and I have achieved so far but it is truly humbling to be honoured in this way".
"It is a privilege to serve in public life and to hold a position where I advocate on behalf of my wonderful members and all those working in education."
But she said it was "those on the front line who deserve to be honoured".
Hobby, who served as general secretary of the NAHT leadership union for seven years before joining Teach First in 2017, said he was "very grateful for this honour".
"Throughout my career, I've been blessed to work in teams of amazing people, striving to make a difference for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. I am so lucky to have had that opportunity."
Former children's minister Robert Goodwill is to be knighted, but absent from the list entirely is ex-education secretary Gavin Williamson, who was tipped for a knighthood earlier this year.
Lord Frank Field, the former Labour MP who set up the Frank Field Education Trust, has been made a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour, which recognises a long-standing contribution to government.
OBEs for behaviour tsar and academy troubleshooter
Tom Bennett
Seventeen people with links to England's schools have received the OBE. They include Bennett and government academy troubleshooter Angela Barry.
Also recognised with an OBE is Vivienne Porritt, a co-founder of both WomenEd and DisabilityEd, who said this is an award for the "amazing WomenEd global community and for all women leaders in education who deserve the utmost recognition".
Bennett said he was "deeply moved to be recognised in this way".
"I'm grateful to the thousands of teachers who turn up every day and help children flourish in calm, safe spaces where they learn in dignity. My honour is shared with them."
Barry, who has in recent years served as interim chief executive at failing trusts such as Lilac Sky, Bright Tribe and SchoolsCompany, said it was a "wonderful honour and I am extremely humbled to be recognised in this way".
"But I feel even more honoured to have been able to make education my career so that I could help children and young people get the best start in life."
A number of serving academy leaders have also received the OBE.
Gongs will go to Lorraine Clarke and Matthew Jones from ARK Schools, Shabir Fazal from Eden Boys' Leadership Academy and Catherine Kitchen, the chief executive of the Skylark Partnership Academy Trust.
Amanda Nicholson, chief executive of King's Academy Trust, also received the OBE, as did Raymond Friel, former chief executive of the Plymouth CAST trust and Donald Parker, the former boss of the Yorkshire Collaborative Academy Trust.
Gongs for former heads and support staff
A number of former senior leaders have recognised with an MBE. They include Michelle Blanchard, a former executive principal for the Dixons Academies Trust and Dr Helen Holman, the former head of the Orchard School in Bristol.
Support staff and volunteers have also been recognised with the British Empire Medal (BEM). They include Julia Barnes, a teaching assistant at St. Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School, Bracknell and Averil Gibbins, a former cleaner at Whitehouse Community Primary School, Ipswich.
Of the 56 people with links to England's schools sector recognised this year, 15 are either serving or former chief executives or executive headteachers. Also recognised were six headteachers and other senior leaders and seven members of support staff.
The honours list has 10 governors or trustees, including Tracy Luke, the chair of Turner Free School in Folkestone, Kent. The school is part of the Turner Schools academy trust, which was set up by Dr Jo Saxton, who went on to become a DfE policy adviser and is now chief regulator of Ofqual.
Gongs also went to nine representatives of the charity and third sectors, while five recognised council officials and one went to a teacher.
Three went to civil servants or government advisers, including Dr Andre Imich, an adviser to the DfE on special educational needs and disabilities. Five people were recognised specifically for their services to children with SEND.

Just one lone English teacher, everyone else is a senior figure or support staff.. a little sad at the lack of recognition for the staff at the front line.
Peter Endersby 2 January 2022
Gongs for SEN advisers to the government , that is a cheek the review has been delayed for over two years and we have no direction. What are they being rewarded for, what has been decided and where's the policy?
Robin Taverner 4 January 2022
Little or no reference that I could see to the achievement of staff in local authority maintained schools. Politicisation of the honours system devalues these awards for all.

The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and Four Saints is an oil painting on panel by Pontormo in the Louvre, Paris. References in Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists are taken by some to date the work to 1528–1529, the years immediately after Pontormo painted the Capponi Chapel. More recent art historians argue that its style is close to works he produced between 1524 and 1526.

The work was produced for the monastery of Sant'Anna in Verzaia outside Florence's Porta San Frediano, hence the presence of Saint Anne. From left to right the other saints are Sebastian in green, Peter in saffron and blue, the Good Thief, and Benedict of Nursia in a monk's habit. Until 1370 the monastery's church was the halfway point of a procession on Saint Anne's feast day (26 July) to commemorate the city's "liberation" from the Duke of Athens. The medallion at the foot of the Madonna's throne shows a group of people from the procession, including an infantry captain (the work's commissioner), the heads of companies, trumpeters, pipers, dealers, "commanders" and "benchers".

The monastery was destroyed during the 1529 Siege of Florence and the work was in the Ospedale Sant'Eusebio al Prato in the western part of Florence's historic city centre by 1813, when it was looted by Napoleon and taken to Paris. It was first exhibited at the Louvre in 1814 and not returned to Florence after the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

An unidentified homeless man is fighting for his life after his face was nearly eaten off by a naked attacker Saturday on a downtown highway ramp in Miami.
The attacker has been identified as Rudy Eugene, a 31-year-old homeless man. Some are speculating that he may have been high on LSD.
When a police officer approached and told Eugene to get off his victim, Eugene just kept chewing. The officer fired a warning shot, but Eugene "just stood… with pieces of flesh in his mouth and he growled," Vega said.
The officer then shot and killed Eugene.
As for the unfortunate victim, "much of his face was gone, the skin ripped away, the nose bitten and the eyes gouged," according to the Miami Herald. He is in critical condition.

The Running Muse
a cultural gymnasium for the curious runner
Philosophy and Language
Running Quotes
Now I don't suppose for one minute that the Jimi Hendrix experience extended to running fartleks around Soho, but he would have done some gruelling training runs when he was a paratrooper in the US.
This quote, uttered in the context of a refusal to settle into any musical formula for very long or to stagnate his life within social norms, is from an interview in the Times in the UK a fortnight before his death in September 1970.
'If I'm free, it's because I'm always running.'
Because quotes can be read literally or metaphorically, in isolation or in context, and because most artists are more than delighted for their work to send you sailing off along tributaries unimagined by them, The Running Muse needs no excuse to include quotes here that sometimes have the most tenuous connection to actual running, but the hope is that the words resonate to some degree within the life of a runner.
The collection will build up week by week.
'Go jogging? What, and get hit by a meteor?'
This is the worst, or maybe the best, excuse I've heard for not going out running, by the American humourist, Robert Benchley, a man who actually won a 1935 Oscar for a short film called 'How to Sleep'!
A more common excuse is to be found in the first paragraph of Charlotte Brontë's 'Jane Eyre', where the young Jane speaks of her delight at the penetrating rain that meant 'outdoor exercise was now out of the question. I was glad of it.'
And that was just walking.
'A coward: one who, in a perilous emergency,
thinks with his legs'
This is one of American satirist Ambrose Bierce's entries in his laugh-out-loud book of satirical definitions, 'The Devil's Dictionary'. He is a darker and more profound (and, dare I say, wittier) writer than his contemporary purveyor of aphorisms, Oscar Wilde, of whom he was a fierce critic - one of his magazine articles berated 'the spiritless vacuity of this intellectual jellyfish'.
'Mens sana in corpore sano'
Circa 100 AD, the satirical poet Juvenal (seen here in a 15th century woodcut from Nuremberg) urged his fellow Romans to pray for 'a sound mind in a sound body', one of many of his phrases which have come down to us today. In the nineteenth century, this one became a classical inspiration for the ethos of the Prussian army, the English public schools and Baron de Coubertin's vision of a modern Olympic movement that included the arts.
The 17th century English philosopher John Locke wrote that 'a sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.'
The 'Hunger Games' trilogy of books by Suzanne Collins makes full use of another of Juvenal's quotes lamenting the fact that most people are only interested in 'panem et circenses' ('bread and circuses') - the totalitarian state is called Panem and organises competitive death-struggles as entertainment, with food as the prize.
The ASICS sportswear company's name is an acronym for the similar 'anima sana in corpore sano', a healthy soul in a healthy body.
'This shit is not for me -
I don't care how enlightening it is.'
Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana took to running when, with his wife Deborah, he joined Sri Chinmoy's self-transcendence meditation group, for whom running and exercise is a path to 'overcoming the limits of your individual self'. They still organise the world's longest annual footrace, the Self Transcendence 3100 Mile Race.
According to one biographer, the Santanas became vegetarians, gave up drugs and alcohol and started running marathons. Deborah ran at least one ultra-marathon of 47 miles, but Carlos became disillusioned, first with the running, and then by the restrictive, authoritarian style of the group's mentality at that time. Both eventually left after almost a decade.
His band, Santana, had come to prominence at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, and it was during his Chinmoy period a few years later that they released an album called Marathon (including tracks called 'Marathon' and 'Runnin'', both instrumentals which didn't exactly garner the greatest reviews).
As for his quote, I've often come close to saying much the same thing at around the 18-mile mark.
This is from Mary Oliver's poem, 'Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches?', a typical interior monologue on nature and solitude from a Pulitzer Prize winner who writes on long walks through the woods and wetlands of New England, where she leaves pencils in trees in case she forgets her own.
'Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?'
Samuel Fuller's western tells the fictional story of O'Meara, a Confederate who fired the last bullet of the American Civil War and joined the Sioux tribe in order to continue battling the Yankees.
In amongst all the usual 1950's horse-opera mayhem, he has to survive a 'run of the arrow', a run for his life in which he is given a head start, the location of which is determined by the firing of an arrow.
In his first lead role, Rod Steiger, already struggling with his stage Irish accent, sprained his ankle on set just before the filming of the actual 'Run', which is why most of it consists of close-ups of the running feet of his stand-in.
His character 'outlives the Run' and he later becomes an honorary Sioux, marrying Yellow Moccasin (voiced by Angie Dickinson but acted by Sarita Montiel, bizarrely).
'Our law prevents us from killing any man who lives the Run. But we have no law to help him live.'
'We should sometimes increase the motion of the machine, to unclog the wheels of life.'
This is the lesson learned by the curmudgeonly Squire Bramble in Tobias Smollett's 18th century novel about a poet living on his wits, 'Humphry Clinker'.
Smollett's stories are always described as 'picaresque' adventures, i.e., full of rascals and rogues, and Clinker is no exception - he undertakes to run a footrace against his publisher for a bet, borrowing his corpulent opponent's expensive boots as a handicap. Of course, he absconds half way through the run with his prize.
The quote is a favourite of the author of 'Running in Literature', Roger Robinson, who enjoys it as 'a marvellous affirmation of what all runners believe'.
'Many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall be increased.'
This mysterious quote is not from Runner's World but from the Bible's Book of Daniel 12:4, and what's more it's God speaking here. The prophet Daniel, seen right in the lions' den in a print by Gustave Dore, has been given visions of the 'end of days' on earth, all of which he found totally incomprehensible, but he was being told to keep them secret anyway.
To biblical literalists, the words suggest that the enormous increase in world travel and the rise of the sciences are heralding the imminent end of the world.
To running literalists, the quote is just obviously true. And there is no finishing line.
'Joan Benoit' by Italian-American poet Rina Ferrarelli is a title that refers to the American winner of the first ever women's Olympic marathon in 1984.
The poem describes how she surged ahead in only the third mile, 'not the eighteenth as expected', how she just kept going while all the 'experts claimed she couldn't possibly keep to the end', and how at the end she was barely out of breath.
She finished hundreds of metres ahead of the rest of the field, including the legendary Grete Waitz and Ingrid Kristiansen and Rosa Mota.
Now known as Joan Benoit Samuelson, she held the marathon world record for a time (2:22:43), and 26 years later ran the Chicago Marathon in 2:47:50.
Hers is one of the voices you can hear congratulating you on the Nike+ iPod system.
That 'inner rhythm measuring herself against herself' is exactly what runners try to do, it seems to me - measure the actuality against the goal, the body against the mind.
'Sure, determined, moving to an inner rhythm measuring herself against herself....'
'Instead of feeling how the foot strikes the hill, the runner feels how the hill presses back up against the foot.'
I first came across the writings of Peter Nabokov, an anthropologist at UCLA, in Thor Gotass's 'Running: A Global History' (see recommended books).
The above maxim was part of the world view of the Yorok, a Californian Native American tribe for whom a certain kind of running brought spiritual insight and self-discipline. For them, 'energy belongs to the world, not to the runner', and their running must 'become a part of the flow of nature'.
They achieved this through their 'gliding, utterly effortless style' as they flowed easily over bushes and 'developed a close relationship with the trails'.
Visualisation techniques were important to them, and they would often train by running down steep gradients blindfolded or in pitch darkness, sensing 'the air as a kind of rope they could pull themselves along by means of breathing techniques and arm movements.'
'Here is your vicious, central shape
that has no need of cheer or tape.'
Francis Webb was an Australian poet and had been a champion runner at Sydney University. His 1969 poem, 'This Runner', uses running metaphors to describe the rage and resentment of a person on their 'final lap', a stripping down to their essential being in the face of waning powers.
He had suffered from schizophrenia, had made at least one suicide attempt and had been in and out of asylums for many years, including in the UK.
The eminent British literary critic, Herbert Read, called him 'one of the most unjustly neglected poets of the century'.
As a quote about running, albeit out of the original context, it reflects the sense that some lone runners have of doing something primitive and self-reliant - no equipment, just you and the elements, the real you, striving in that space underneath the face you present to the world.
'First day of Hurricane Sandy. Five miles easy.......I can't hold on to my thoughts in this wind.'
Thomas Gardner's running diary is not your average catalogue of times and distances and gradients and weather conditions. His weekly chronicle of early morning runs from his home in 2012 not only contains meditations on his life and on his surroundings as he moves through both of them, but also includes many references to literature and matters of the spirit, most of them relating to contemporary writers and modern poets (perhaps unsurprisingy, as he is a professor of English).
It has the feel of Thoreau about it, as if he had run instead of walked around the Walden Pond woods and recorded his impressions in his cabin log (in his log cabin).
This entry from October 25th 2012 is a part of Gardner's account of his run out into Hurricane Sandy, the second most destructive hurricane in American history. It is such an immediate, primitive experience in such a turbulent environment that he can't even think straight, let alone meditate. He just tells himself to 'quit thinking' and carries on.......
The diary was published as Poverty Creek Journal in 2014 by Tupelo Press.

Andrzej Munk s heroic symphony , set during WWII, presents two sardonic tales of courage and valour which aim to demystify the archetypal image of heroism. The first movement focuses on a seemingly feckless and selfish man and his ironic route to finally taking up arms in the national struggle against the Nazis. The second movement is set in a POW camp whose Polish inmates cling to their hopes for an eventual escape, encouraged by the legendary escape of one of their number.
Both tales converge to create a blackly comic and perceptive satire; a provocative, powerful, and potent anti-war poem considered amongst the most subversive films of the period.

There are a multiple of methods to develop SSRS reports in Dynamics AX. This tutorial will guide you through the process of developing SSRS reports using an AOT query.
First of all we need an AOT query which will fetch data from AX and display it in a report. For this tutorial, I am using an existing query in AX which displays a list of customers.
CustTableListPage query will be used in this tutorial. To find this query, open AOT àQueries àCustTableListPage.
The development of the SSRS report is done in Visual studio. So a new project needs to be created in Visual studio.
Open Visual studio. Go to File à New à Project.
In the section Installed templates select Microsoft Dynamics AX and then select Report Model in the right pane. Name the project "QueryBasedDemo". Press OK.
Now add a new report in the project by right clicking on the project QueryBaseDemo à Add à Report.
A report will be added to the project with the name "Report1". Rename the report to QueryBasedDemo.
Datasets: Datasets retrieve data from the AOT query. It acts as a bridge between AX and the SSRS report. Only the fields added in the datasets can be used in a report.
Parameters: It is used to apply filtering to the data in a report.
First of all, we will create a dataset. Right click Datasets àAdd Dataset to create a new Dataset. Name it "CustTable".
Select the data source and open the properties window. Make sure the Data Source Type is set to Query. Then select the Query field. An ellipse button appears. Click it to open a dialog.
This dialog lists all the queries present in the AOT. Select CustTableListPage and press Next.
Select the fields you want to display in the report and press OK. Only the selected fields in this dialog can be shown in the report.
Auto Design: Visual studio automatically creates a design based on the dataset provided. Auto design is the preferred method because it is easy and usually fulfills the requirements for the majority of scenarios.
Precision Design: It is used when you need custom placement of fields or the layout of the report is too complex.
Now drag CustTable form the Datasets node and drop it on the Design node. A table will be created which contain all the fields present in the data set. These fields will appear in the same order in the report. So if you want to arrange the fields, right click the field and select either move up or move down.
Select the CustTableTable under the Design node and open the properties window. Select TableStyleAlternatingRowsTemplate in the Style Template field.
Report is now completed can be viewed. To preview the report, select the Design node, right click it and select preview. A preview window opens.
To view this report from AX, it needs to be added in the AOT and deployed at the report server.
Open the solution explorer and right click the project. Select Add QueryBasedDemo to AOT. This will add the report to the AOT. It will also add the project in the AOT with same name so if you want to modify the report in future, you can use that project.
A success message will appear if the report is successfully deployed.
To open the report in AX, a menu item is required. Create a menu item that will open the report from AX.
Set the following properties on the menu item as shown below.
A parameter form will open. If you want to add parameters to report, you can add it by clicking Select. Press Ok to continue.
The report is displayed as shown below.

welcome teachers as visitors. many thanks.
There is a very approachable apiculturist here near Valladolid, Yucatan. His name is Franciso, of mayan descent and uses traditional methods. I have read a news article written about him as he was very open with information. I have not as of yet met him but will before soon. If interested the contact person is Denis Larsen of Casa Hamaca in Valladolid.
Thanks for this valuable information which will be of interest to many of our readers.

Increasing industrial metal demands due to rapid technological developments may drive the prospection and exploration of deep-sea mineral resources such as polymetallic nodules. To date, the potential environmental consequences of mining operations in the remote deep sea are poorly known. Experimental studies are scarce, especially with regard to the effect of sediment and nodule debris depositions as a consequence of seabed mining. To elucidate the potential effects of the deposition of crushed polymetallic nodule particles on abyssal meiobenthos communities, a short (11 days) in situ experiment at the Peru Basin in the South East Pacific Ocean was conducted. We covered abyssal, soft sediment with approx. 2cm of crushed nodule particles and sampled the sediment after eleven days of incubation at 4200m water depth. Short-term ecological effects on the meiobenthos community were studied including changes in their composition and vertical distribution in the sediment as well as nematode genus composition. Additionally, copper burden in a few similar-sized, but randomly selected nematodes was measured by means of µ-X-ray fluorescence. At the end of the experiment, 46±1% of the total meiobenthos occurred in the added crushed nodule layer while abundances decreased in the underlying 2cm compared to the same depth-interval in original, undisturbed sediments. Densities and community composition in the deeper 2–5cm layers remained similar in covered and undisturbed sediments. The migratory response into the added substrate was particularly seen in polychaetes (73±14%, relative abundance across all depth layers) copepods (71±6%), nauplii (61±9%) and nematodes (43±1%). While the dominant nematode genera in the added substrate did not differ from those in underlying layers or the undisturbed sediments, feeding type proportions in this layer were altered with a 9% decrease of non-selective deposit feeders and an 8% increase in epistrate feeders. Nematode tissue copper burden did not show elevated copper toxicity resulting from burial with crushed nodule particles. The results indicate that short-term substrate burial requires special attention with regard to ecological consequences of mineral extraction in the deep-sea.

Mancraft no more operational: Alternatives?
since Mancraft is no more operational (not responding to any kind of contact (mails, facebook, etc) for a few weeks) I wanted to ask, where to buy similar products.
I especially need the conversion kit for spring rifles (Mauser SR Pro).
Mancraft are the only ones i know of who currently make HPA stuff for sniper and they've since release a V2 gearbox for M4's so they're still open. Strange they've not replied as i've used them certainly and i've also enquired about their V2 gearbox HPA drop in kit as i am curious how it works because it doesn't come with a trigger and doesn't require a battery. They've replied to me.
How did you reach out to them? I wrote a mail to their contact address and also tried it via facebook messaging.
Their website mate. Copied their email address and emailed them, they replied to me a few days later.
But I wouldn't know if this is what the OP is looking for, as I don't know about VSR compatibility.
That isn't available for purchase as yet. That won't be released until this summer.
Hmm, didn't mean to post twice. I probably should have added that, I knew it was not out, but I didn't know when.
OP, didn't we go through a huge thread about this already? No one makes a kit for the Mauser SR apart from Mancraft (who actually make the only conversion kits that you can buy). The aforementioned Wolverine Bolt is only VSR-compatible, not APS-2 Type96 like you need, sorry.
Maybe send them another email and be extra nice? They tend to reply to me quite quickly via Facebook though so I'll shoot them a message.
Did the same thing (and tried my luck with Facebook) but didn't receive anything.
But since they didn't answer, I opened a thread to see if there are alternatives, which you maybe didn't know about. No offense!
I really appreciated your great help in the other thread!
Rest assured that if someone else made an HPA conversion kit for the APS-2 Type96 I'd have let you know as well. Mancraft aren't paying me a commission... yet.
I'm working on it but he's not replying to my emails or Facebook messages.
I've had contact from these guys recently (Last Week) ordered Tuesday and had my order shipped in 24 hours. They're definitely still about, maybe just busy or can't accept emails from certain addresses?
Hmm...wrote from a gmail address, whose mail relays are normally not in an abuse list (and hopefully also not my email address itself^^). However, due to the same thoughts I also tried Facebook (without success).
Do remember that the guy running Mancraft is that, just a guy, he has no staff and is probably running it from his shed out back making the parts as orders come in.
If you have had no response from him over the past week or so, do realise that it has been the Easter holidays just gone and being from Poland i think i can safely assume he is Catholic and they take Easter very seriously there unlike us; as every Easter if you go to Victoria Coach Station you will see masses of Polish people going back to Poland to visit family.
I considered the same thing, since I am also catholic. My facebook message to them (him) even contained the question, if he is busy with easter.
Well he said 'hi' to me then I asked the question and he never read it. Hm.
Yeah, just had a long conversation about the parts and their production process. Looks good now- thanks!
