The composition of the essential oils and the furanocoumarin profiles of CH2Cl2 extracts from underground parts and fruits of nine Heracleum taxa (Apiaceae) from Southeastern Europe were statistically analyzed to evaluate their chemosystematic significance. Eight investigated taxa (H. orphanidis and members of H. sphondylium group: H. sphondylium, H. sibiricum, H. montanum, H. ternatum, H. pyrenaicum subsp. pollinianum, H. pyrenaicum subsp. orsinii and H. verticillatum) belong to the type section of the genus. Additionally analyzed taxon, H. austriacum subsp. siifolium, belongs to H. sect. Wendia. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the essential oils was performed by GC-FID and GC/MS, and of the furanocoumarins by LC/MS. Furanocoumarins were identified using standards and/or based on UV, MS, 1H- and ROESY NMR spectra. Multivariate statistics (PCA, nMDS, UPGMA) of analyzed metabolites showed that the investigated taxa were grouped according to their taxonomic classification. PCA r...evealed the significance of some monoterpenes and (Z)-falcarinol of the underground parts oils, octyl esters of the fruit oils, and most of the total of 12 identified furanocoumarins.

Bomb blasts car with criminal policeman's family near Ukrainian city of Odesa
Trump warns conservatives against 'socialist nightmare'
World » World. Main
U.S. President Donald Trump rallied right-wing activists Saturday with a speech offering conservative red meat on immigration, trade and the threat of "socialism" as he sought to move on from a bruising week in domestic and international politics.
"We believe in the American dream, not in the socialist nightmare," he said to boisterous applause from hundreds of supporters at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) near Washington.
"America will never be a socialist country," Trump added in a mammoth two-hour speech that seemed to draw energy from the fervent reception offered by some of his influential supporters in the room.
It was his first public appearance since coming home empty-handed, and to brickbats from all sides, from a nuclear-disarmament summit with North Korea's reclusive leader Kim Jong Un.
The White House is also smarting from explosive testimony on Capitol Hill by Trump's former lawyer and fixer on Wednesday that branded him a criminal and a racist.
Trump, often speaking in mocking tones, portrayed the Democratic Green New Deal climate strategy touted by the left of the party as a socialist plan that will devastate the fossil fuel and motor industries.
He said progressive healthcare policies would "lead to colossal tax increases."
Seeming to feed off the crowd's support, he added: "We're in the swamp of Washington DC, but you know what -- we're winning and they're not."
With the federal investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia reportedly approaching its conclusion, Trump again berated Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team as partisan hacks out to get him, adding that "these people are sick."
His voice dripping with sarcasm, he suggested that his call in summer of 2016 for Russia to find and release Hillary Clinton's emails was a joke that had been obtusely taken at face value by the media.
On the foreign front, Trump repeated his claim that the last Islamic State fighters in Syria would be captured or killed imminently -- "as of tomorrow," he said -- and railed against Chinese tariffs on American goods.
The speech, at the National Harbor in Maryland, was Trump's third to CPAC since he was elected.
The word "socialism" has been in heavy rotation since some Democratic candidates began openly embracing liberal platforms including the Green New Deal and a Medicare for All.
On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence spoke at the four-day conference to warn the faithful that Democrats are taking a "hard left turn" ahead of 2020.
"Under the guise of Medicare for All and a Green New Deal, Democrats are embracing the same tired economic theories that have impoverished nations and stifled the liberties of millions over the last century. That system is socialism," he said.
Trump's speech came as Senator Bernie Sanders, who has embraced the label of "democratic socialist," spoke at a rally in New York, assailing Trump as "the most dangerous president in modern American history."
It was Sanders' first major speech since announcing he will again seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.
Republicans hoped Trump's address would serve as a diversion to the Mueller investigation and to the testimony this week on Capitol Hill by the president's former personal attorney Michael Cohen implicating him in crimes.
In December a court sentenced Cohen, who worked for Trump for over a decade as his lawyer and vice president in the Trump Organization, to three years in prison for hush-money payments to two women and for lies to Congress -- both of which he said were to protect Trump -- and tax evasion.
In dramatic congressional testimony Wednesday broadcast across the world on cable and US network channels, Cohen turned on his former boss, using the big stage to describe Trump as a "mobster," "con man," "cheat" and a "racist."
Meanwhile in Vietnam, a high-stakes second summit between Trump and Kim broke up in disarray Thursday, without even a joint statement, after the pair failed to reach an agreement on walking back Pyongyang's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
Both sides said they were open to further talks, though a third summit has not been scheduled.

Le Dollard (en allemand Dollart) est un bras de mer appartenant à la mer des Wadden situé entre les Pays-Bas (province de Groningue) et l'Allemagne (land de Basse-Saxe).

Géographie
Le Dollard a une superficie d'environ . L'Ems s'y jette et y poursuit son cours jusqu'à la mer des Wadden. À l'est du Dollard se trouve la ville allemande d'Emden, et à une petite dizaine de kilomètres à l'ouest du Dollard, la ville néerlandaise de Delfzijl. La côte néerlandaise du Dollard est très peu peuplée, il n'y a que quelques petits villages comme Fiemel et Nieuwe Statenzijl, et le polder Carel Coenraadpolder. À la frontière entre l'Allemagne et les Pays-Bas est située l'embouchure du Westerwoldse Aa ainsi que l'ensemble d'écluses de Nieuwe Statenzijl. L'amplitude des marées du Dollard s'élève à plus de 3 mètres. Ses eaux sont saumâtres : l'eau de mer salée se mélange ici à l'eau douce de l'Ems.

Histoire
Le Dollard s'est créé pendant le Haut Moyen Âge à la suite de plusieurs inondations et raz-de-marée, qui ont dévasté puis fait disparaître le paysage de tourbières et de fagnes. De grandes parties des districts historiques de  et d' ont été englouties. Il existe plusieurs hypothèses sur l'année de l'engloutissement de la région :
 en 1277, aux dires d'Ubbon Emmius ;
 en 1362, lors de l'inondation de la Saint-Marcel, qui a causé beaucoup de dégâts en Allemagne du Nord ;
 vers 1413, selon .
Mais aucune source est suffisamment complète ou fiable pour s'assurer de la réelle année des inondations définitives.

Il est toutefois probable que la région souffrait depuis des siècles des inondations régulières, car le sol de fagnes s'était sérieusement érodé et abaissé. Toutefois, des fouilles archéologiques ont permis de démontrer que dans les environs de Nieuweschans, Vriescheloo et Scheemda, l'eau douce était prédominante jusqu'au . La région de Pogum, en revanche, était dominée par une végétation saline dès le .

La région fut traversée par deux rivières : le Reider Ee et le Munter Ae, affluents de l'Ems, où elles se jetaient via deux ensembles d'écluses distincts. Le chroniqueur est-frison Eggerik Beninga relate la destruction de ces écluses lors d'une guerre locale en 1413. Cinq ans plus tard, la mer aurait déjà atteint le village de Blijham. Une sorte de mer intérieure s'était formée, se remplissant et se vidant deux fois par jour. L'eau cherchait son chemin dans les sols marécageux qui restait, les détruisant au fur et à mesure sur son passage.

La partie orientale du Dollard s'est formée pendant la première moitié du . Dès 1454, les habitants locaux ont construit une digue de secours entre la  et le village de Finsterwolde. Cette digue commençait sur la rive de l'Ems, passait à travers le paysage des tourbières basses de l'époque pour rejoindre les terres de sable, situées plus haut. La partie occidentale du Dollard s'est formée après 1460. Mais des grandes parties de la région ne furent immergées à partir de 1509, quand le raz-de-marée des Saints Côme et Damien a amené les eaux de mer jusque loin dans les terres. Le bras de mer atteignit sa superficie maximale vers 1520.

Le nom de Dollard est attesté pour la première fois en 1485, dans les chroniques du monastère d'Aduard.

Villages disparus
Lors des différentes étapes de la formation du Dollard et des inondations le long de l'Ems, au moins vingt paroisses, une quinzaine de hameaux plus petits et trois monastères ont été engloutis. Une douzaine d'églises paroissiales ont été déplacées une ou plusieurs fois. Toutefois, les noms des localités mentionnées dans les chroniques ne sont plus toujours reconnaissables ou identifiables.

Ont été engloutis :
 les paroisses de Kalentwalt (Coldeborgerfehn ?), Haxenerwalt (Hatzumerfehn), Ditzumerwold, Uterpogum, Utbeerte, la ville de marché Torum, Wilgum, Fletum, Berum, Oosterreide, Westerreide, Up-Reiderwolde, Ut-Reiderwolde (possédant une collégiale), San(t)dorp, Stockdorp, Tijsweer, Zwaag, Ooster-Finsterwolde, Ulsda, Megenham, Wynedaham, Houwingagast (ou Houwingahof), Houwingaham, ainsi que les villages dont les noms, aujourd'hui, sont trop déformés pour être identifié : Haxne, Siweteswere, Poel, Rodendebord et Katelmesinke.
 les hameaux de Peterswere (ou Peterswolde), Dune Lee (Duinkerken près Marienchor ?), Garmede, Wynham, Jarde (ou Bundergaarde), Bonewerda (Boen près Bunde ?), Ockeweer, Astock, Torpsen, De Lidden, Gaddingehorn, Fiemel et peut-être Ayckaweren, Stoksterhorn, Exterhuis, Jansum et Homborg.
 les monastères de Palmar (Porta sancta Mariae), Oosterreide et Menterwolde (Campus sylvae) et sa ferme De Olde Stoeve.
 peut-être, également, les villages de Beda, Ludgerskerke, Osterbeerde, Maarhuisen et Markhuisen, mais leur existence n'est pas assurée dans la mesure où leurs noms sont absents des sources écrites de l'époque.

Au moins dix-sept localités ont été déplacées au fil du temps et des inondations vers des endroits plus élevés : Marienchor (ou Critzumerwolde), Böhmerwold, Sankt Georgiwold (ou Upwolde), Weenermeer, Boen (Bonewerda), Wymeer, Hamdijk (Houwingaham ou Utham), Den Ham (Upham ou Nijeham), Bellingwolde, Vriescheloo, Winschoten-Sint-Vitusholt, Beerta, Oostwold, Midwolda, Scheemda, Meeden, Muntendam, comme, peut-être, les prédécesseurs de Bunderrhee et Blijham. Les paroisses de Noordbroek et Zuidbroek ont été déplacées bien avant, tout comme, peut-être, le monastère de Dünebroek.

Nouveaux polders

Jusqu'en 1509, l'Ems formait une grande boucle vers le nord à l'endroit actuel du Dollard. Au point septentrional, la ville d'Emden fut fondée. Par suite de la croissance de l'étendue des eaux, la presqu'île de Nesserland, située en face de la ville, fut coupée ; ensuite, la rivière commençait à suivre un itinéraire plus méridional, à plusieurs kilomètres au sud d'Emden. L'ancien bras septentrional s'enlisa, rendant de moins en moins accessible le port d'Emden. Le conseil municipal d'Emden a essayé d'empêcher ces évolutions, en construisant un mur de barrage en poteaux de chêne, la tête de Nesseland, d'une longueur de presque , situé dans le nouveau courant principal. Les efforts s'avérant sans effet, la ville abandonna ses actions en 1631.

Toutefois, la séparation de la presqu'île de Nesserland du continent avait un côté positif. Tant que Nesserland était une presqu'île, l'eau à marée haute montait très loin dans le Dollard. Parfois, la mer poussait jusqu'à Wedderveer, Muntendam et Siddeburen. Après la rupture de l'isthme, en 1509, l'eau pouvait plus facilement partir dans l'embouchure de l'Ems, et par conséquent, les poussées sur le Dollard diminuèrent. Le Dollard s'ensablait un peu, et certaines schorres pouvaient être endiguées et gagnées sur la mer avant le milieu du . Grâce aux terres fertiles du Dollard, l'Oldambt devenait l'une des zones agricoles les plus prospères des Pays-Bas.

De nombreux autres nouveaux polders furent créés entre le . Nesserland et le reste de la zone portuaire du sud d'Emden fut poldérisés au . En Allemagne, la dernière création d'un polder date de 1877, le Kanalpolder. Aux Pays-Bas, trois autres polders ont été créés depuis : le Johannes Kerkhovenpolder en 1878, le Carel Coenraadpolder en 1924 et le polder de Breebaart en 1979. Ainsi, le Dollard actuel ne représente plus qu'un tiers de sa superficie initiale.

Par marée basse, environ 78 % du Dollard est à sec. Entre ces hauts-fonds et la digue extérieure, une zone de schorres d'environ  s'étend dans l'ouest, le sud et l'est du bras de mer.

Écologie
Sans être un parc national, la plus grande partie du Dollard forme une zone écologique protégée.

Animal-rights group ties gambling laws to Kansas coyote hunt
http://www.kansas.com/sports/outdoors/article109921747.html
The Animal Legal Defense Fund, based in San Francisco, filed a lawsuit against the organizers of the WaKeeney hunt. Jordan Bleske, one of the organizers, said the suit was settled by agreeing to not hold it again and paying the organization $2,000 in legal fees.
The Jan. 9 hunt was the only one held by Bleske and two friends. He would not say how many hunters entered or how many coyotes were shot.
"It's been resolved," said Bleske, 24. "I've moved on."
Sarah Hanneken, a lawyer for ALDF, said they cited Kansas' gambling laws to say that the calling contest was a game of chance. Entrants paid $80 to participate in the one-day event. The grand prize of $500 went to whoever killed the most coyotes that day.
"As a general matter, anytime you have to pay to participate to win a prize that is largely based on chance, that is going to fall within the definition of gambling," Hannekin said.
Her group represented Western Plains Animal Refuge in Hays.
"These contests are not welcome in Kansas," said Brendon McCampbell, the refuge's director. "We are happy this horrible event has been canceled, and we hope others like it will also be ended soon."
While I'm not a fan of coyote contests... this is just retarded. I bet we'll see more of it.

Fucking liberal piece of shit.

They settled. That's the problem. And in doing so they established precedent that will fuck the rest of us.
A halfway decent lawyer could have argued that there's substantial skill involved in calling, as well as selection of sets and marksmanship.
That's not gambling, that's sport.
I think It would have gone in favor of the defendant easily.

And what you and the most of us think on this site is completely different then the way out our court system works.
Liberalism is a mental disease and it has spread. All it takes is one liberal judge to hear this case and the plaintiff is fucked. He saw his cheapest option and took it. Your not going to hire a lawyer for less than $2000 to take this case to court. Then if that liberal judge agrees with the liberal animal rights people, the case now goes to another court.

Our rights will be lost incrementally, and by conceding to this, these braindead assholes now have another foothold to erode them further.
Were I 24 again, I'd probably have gone the same way and settled. Now that I'm older and much more bitter I'd fight it tooth and nail.
There are groups out there that provide free legal help to pro gun causes. That's one of the only reasons I keep an active NRA membership. It's just unfortunate it had to come down this way.
Our forefathers would be shooting by now.

You better check into the NRA's views on contest hunting before you are so certain they'd have your back.
ragnarnar last edited by @orkan
I meant so if I ever needed legal help regarding anything gun related. They offer members legal help. I'm not sure on their contest hunting views.
I generally don't like the NRA. They compromise too much for my liking.
That said, I know there are other organizations that would be able to offer legal help in this instance.
Yet what organization would view it as a gun rights issue? Most would view it as a hunting issue.
We can run this situation down from the back seat, but until it's our own families and bankrolls on the line, I don't think we can judge those hunters involved.


The symposium will address current parallel computation implementations use of these and other strategies. Experts in parallel computing strategies will present current and future computation/communication techniques.

Q: Generate unique ascendant ID I'm looking for a good practice about generating unique big IDs like Google+ or facebook has.
Existing questions was a bout generating a unique ID not an ascendant one (uniqid() was a good way to go on).
We may rely to something basically ascendant like Timestamp time() when the user signs up, or ID of the User table $id, maybe:

*

*ID = time() - 123456789 + $id.

*Or just ID of User table, like $id + 123456789
If we add always the same constant integer, we won't get collisions.

We can't use uniqid() to generate an ascendant ID.
And to make the auto-increment step of the database more than 1 isn't enough to have a big integer in all cases.
what do you suggest?

A: You might want to look at this answer that explains how to generate v4 UUID in PHP here or have a look at this post, that goes through 4 ways of creating unique IDs in PHP (some of them involve uniqid() though)

Abstract: The diet of spotted hyenas (Curocuta curocuta) was studied in Endrta Woreda, southern Tigray, Ethiopia from September to December 2009. Hyena scats were collected throughout the study period from all areas and the samples were washed and hairs were extracted. Hair was analyzed on form, length and color with the naked eye as well as on a scale patterns using a microscope at 10 X magnifications and was compared with a prey species hair reference collection. Faecal analysis revealed that the diet of the spotted hyena contains only prey item of domestic livestock. Frequencies of prey remains of donkey, sheep, goat and cattle were highest with sheep being by far the most common prey species. Household survey of livestock depredation of spotted hyenas revealed that a total of 364 spotted hyena attacks were reported of which donkeys were significantly more likely to be reported as lost to hyena predation, representing 31.87%, followed by goats (14.56%) and sheep (10.71%). It seems most likely that carnivores deepened entirely on domestic prey species for their dietary requirements. Detailed information on the population size and density of spotted hyena is needed to give a better picture of the status of this carnivore species in Tigray, northern Ethiopia and to help resolve conflicts with livestock. Further investigations into the seasonal variation of predation are recommended.

Report: Alvaro Morata, Atletico Madrid Agree to Personal Terms
Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is set to end his nightmare spell with the club by joining Atletico Madrid, after agreeing to personal terms with the Spanish outfit.
The forward has been frozen out of the starting lineup in the last month, and was absent from last weekend's matchday squad to face Newcastle altogether. He had been strongly linked with clubs across Spain, including Barcelona and Sevilla, as well as Inter and Monaco.
However, now it looks like Atleti have won the race with his signature, after the two parties agreed personal terms ahead of the proposed move, according to BBC Sport.
The only things left to be sorted are the signing of a replacement at Chelsea, and the selling of a forward at Atletico. The former seems to be almost done, with the Blues close to securing a loan move for Juventus' Gonzalo Higuain, which is expected to become permanent at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, the most likely candidates to leave Diego Simeone's side have always been Gelson Martins and Nikola Kalinic, and according to journalist Guillem Balague, the club are shopping the Croatian around as we speak.
Speaking on the BBC 5 live Football Daily Podcast, Ballague said: "It seems to be a matter of finding a buyer for Kalinic.
"Everything else seems to be in place for Morata to abandon what feels like a nightmare."
The Spaniard signed a five-year deal in west London when he joined for £60m in July 2017, but could only manage 24 goals in his 72 games for the club over an 18-month period.


The T5 155mm/52 consists of a Tatra T815 (8x8) high-mobility cross-country truck chassis, on the rear of which is integrated the complete top carriage of its 155mm/52 calibre G5 towed artillery system, which has already been fully qualified. Compared with a conventional towed 155mm artillery system, the T5 155mm/52 cal system can come into action much more quickly, carry out a fire mission and redeploy before any counter battery fire can be returned, as well as having greater tactical and strategic mobility.
Trials have shown that the system can come into action within 50 seconds, fire three rounds within 15 seconds, and thereafter move to a new position within 40 seconds after the last round is fired. It is fitted with a computerised fire control system, which includes navigation, pointing and onboard ballistic calculation, and can receive target information on the move from a battery command post or from a forward observer.
The 155mm ordnance has a 23-litre chamber, which complies with the NATO joint ballistic memorandum of understanding, and is fitted with a muzzle brake and fume extractor. It can carry out multiple-round simultaneous impact fire missions for maximum target effect.
In addition to having a high level of mobility, the T5 155mm/52 cal SP artillery system has a high rate of fire because 155mm projectiles are lifted three at a time from the ground by an automated power-operated projectile-loading crane and then loaded into the ordnance via a magazine and push rammer. An auxiliary power unit allows all functions to be carried out with the main engine switched off.
Denel Land Systems anticipates a contract from the South African National Defence Force for six versions of the truck-mounted gun system, but fitted with the 155mm/45 calibre ordnance.

In contrast to aquaculture which involves the cultivation of aquatic life within controlled environments or the commercial production of certain aquatic species by managing the major part of their life history under strict control, culture-based fisheries increase production in natural environments by controlling a part of the life history of certain species and transplanting or releasing their seed or fry into the open waters (Honma, 1980). The juvenile fish, which are produced in hatcheries and are released into fresh-, brackish-, or marine waters, are allowed to propagate or grow on natural foods until they reach harvestable size (Thorpe, 1980).
Unlike aquaculture, culture-based fisheries are not limited by land or population pressures and do not have to modify or manage the culture system to approximate the natural environment since it uses the natural environment itself (Liao, 1988). Also, unlike aquaculture, harvests are uncertain and returns are more difficult to predict as the "release of fish to sea involves the number harvestable ultimately being reduced to 1-15% of the number released, depending on species and locality" (Thorpe, 1980).
Nonetheless, culture-based fisheries have been increasingly resorted to as means of enhancing the fishery resources, replenishing natural stocks whose populations have declined through over-exploitation or environmental degradation, or simply maximizing the productivity of a water body, be it an open bay, a coastal lagoon, or a freshwater reservoir. Their adoption or application on an expanded scale has in fact been identified as a high-priority item in the agenda for development in a number of regions in the world in the coming years (Table 6) (ADCP, 1989a).
The major types of culture-based fisheries include: (i) sea/ocean ranching as practised in Japan with various marine finfishes and the Kuruma prawn, and in the Pacific Ocean and Baltic Sea with salmon; (ii) coastal lagoon farming, as exemplified by valliculture in the Mediterranean; (iii) stocking and restocking in freshwater lakes and reservoirs; and (iv) floodplain fisheries management.
Sea ranching, in which juvenile fish are released to grow unprotected on natural foods in marine waters where they are harvested at marketable size (Thorpe, 1989), takes advantage of the sea as a large aquatic pasture (Liao, 1988). While it is practised in slightly differing forms around the world, in its distinctive form, young fish are released to the sea through ponds, enclosures or channels, and allowed to grow until they are ready for the market.
Sea ranching of salmon is widely practised in countries such as the United States (mainly Alaska, Washington and Oregon), Canada, Japan, USSR, New Zealand, Iceland, and the Baltic countries (Thorpe, 1980).
The most widely used species for ocean ranching is the Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus sp.) because of the success of its artificial spawning coupled with the rapid growth and the high degree of its homing precision that makes it amenable to harvesting at maturity (McNeil, 1975 and 1980; Thorpe, 1980).
The practice of salmon ranching was initially carried out more than 100 years ago in the Nordic countries where salmon smolts were released into the Baltic Sea area (Ackefors, 1986).
Hatchery production of salmon in the United States dates back to 1872 when the US Fish Commission established its first hatchery on the McCloud River in California. This was followed by the first private salmon hatchery on the Rogue River, Oregon in 1877. The technology for artificial propagation of salmon was introduced to Japan in 1877 and to western Canada in 1884 (Thorpe, 1980).
In Japan, while salmon hatching and release have been carried out for nearly 100 years, the results were not considered very successful. It was only with the new method of intermediate feeding and timely release of salmon fry, starting in 1961, that significant advances in salmon production have been achieved (Honma, 1980). Most Japanese hatcheries use gravel-lined raceways to incubate larval salmon (alevins) and practise short-term feeding of newly-emerged chum fry on artificial diets (McNeil, 1980).
Pink and chum salmon are raised in equal numbers in Soviet hatcheries using technology similar to that of Japan. In the Pacific Northwest, chinook and coho salmon are the predominant species used in hatcheries where raceways and ponds for feeding juvenile fish are prominently featured.
In Alaska, floating raceways in protected saltwater bays had to be innovated to suit Alaskan conditions.
Canada's salmon farming industry has grown tremendously in the last five years as a result of its successful hatchery operations (Annett, 1989). Canadian hatchery workers have pioneered development and application of spawning and egg incubation channels which provide favourable environmental conditions for eggs and alevins. These techniques have been applied most successfully to sockeye, pink, and chum salmon (McNeil, 1980).
The spawning channels produce fry with a capacity for rapid growth and high survival because they simulate high-quality natural spawning beds. Incubation channels, shallow raceways with a silt-free gravel bed, enable the alevins from artificially fertilized and hatched eggs to complete their development in a natural substrate (McNeil, 1975).
Salmon fry that need to be raised in low-salinity or fresh water before release into marine waters (e.g., sockeye, coho, and chinook) have to be transferred from the incubation system to feed-lot systems consisting of tanks, raceways, ponds, floating pens, or a combination or modification of these. The newly emerged fry are given frequent feedings of high-protein diets containing vitamin supplements and certain fats (McNeil, 1975).
Aside from the widely popular Pacific salmon, other marine species have been used for ocean ranching in Japan. The Japanese National Culture-Based Fishery Project, which was started in 1953, has succeeded in developing techniques for mass seed production and subsequent release of juveniles of commercially valuable fish/shellfish, such as the Kuruma prawn, red sea bream, blue crabs, sole, flounder, and yellowtail, into the Seto Inland Sea (Table 15). The Project has now reached the stage where the fishermen themselves carry out the release of fry and manage the propagation work. The Project, based on its earlier successes, has been expanded on a national scale with the construction of a large number of Prefectural Centers for Culture-Based Fisheries all over Japan (Table 16) (Honma, 1980).
The Ezo abalone, Haliotis discus Hanai, is one of the most important species for ocean ranching in Japan, with about 1.15 million hatchery-produced juveniles released in 1980 in rocky areas of the Sea of Japan around Hokkaido. Likewise, the giant Ezo scallop, Patinopecten yessoensis, is propagated in the Okhotsk Sea, the Nemuro Channel, and in other areas of the Hokkaido coast (Saito, 1984).

Extensive lagoon farming is a traditional activity in various European and Mediterranean countries with a production of about 10 000 t/y (Girin, 1981). Among the Mediterranean countries, Italy has the largest areas of brackish water (called "valli") that are exploited for lagoon farming of commercially valuable species like Anguilla anguilla, Mugil cephalus, Liza aurata, Liza saliens, Liza ramada, Chelon labrosus, Dicentrarchus labrax, and Sparus aurata.
Restocking of the valli/coastal lagoons is carried out by anadromous, natural, and annual migration and by artificial restocking. Catches from the valli primarily depend on the quantity of fingerlings which entered the lagoons some years before and on the quantity of fingerlings stocked.
Valliculture, as the practice is called in view of its being fish culture-based, is one of the most ancient forms of aquaculture in the Mediterranean region. Its origins date back to the first rudimental fish pond and fattening systems used along the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian coasts. This technique was developed by the upper Adriatic populations to exploit the seasonal migrations of some fish species from the sea into the lagoon and delta areas which were more suitable for their growth. The fish returned to the sea because of altered environmental conditions (temperature) of the sea or for reproduction. To exploit these periodic movements, large brackish areas were enclosed to prevent the fish returning to the sea and complex permanent capture systems, fish barriers, were developed consisting of barriers in the channels communicating with the sea to catch the adults. Later, from the simple ponding of fry freely entering the lagoon from the sea, came a man-made seeding of fry fished elsewhere and introduced into the basins to be reared for a few years (Ardizzone et al., 1988).
The successful management of coastal lagoons using hatchery-bred fry of important species is thought to hold considerable promise world-wide for expansion in the future.
Brush-park fisheries are a traditional form of low-technology aquaculture which is practised in coastal lagoons and brackish waters in many areas of the world. The brush parks are constructed in a variety of forms and sizes, but basically a brush park consists of an inner core, or concentric circles, of densely packed tree branches or other material surrounded by an outer, more substantial wooden framework which is fished periodically, usually by encirclement.
In coastal lagoons the most sophisticated forms of brush-park fisheries occur in Benin. There are several basic types of brush-park fisheries in Benin where they are known collectively as "acadjas". They vary from each other in configuration, construction and fishing characteristics. The acadjas are constructed of tree branches with harder woods forming the peripheral structure and with soft wood branches with many ramifications forming the interior of the acadja. Acadjas are preferentially placed in shallow, quiet waters of no more than 1.5 m depth (Kapetsky, 1981).
Fishing is accomplished by surrounding the smaller types of acadjas with a net after which all of the branches are removed and the net is then pursed. For the larger brush parks the surrounding net is fished in a step-wise process by gradually moving the net inwards as branches are removed until the fish are concentrated in small areas and can thus be removed with traps, baskets, and hand-nets. After fishing, the used branches are replaced and new ones added as necessary (Welcomme, 1972).
Elsewhere in Africa, brush-park fisheries are found in coastal lagoons in Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, and Madagascar. Elsewhere in the world, brush-park fisheries are found in Negombo lagoon in Sri Lanka and have been introduced in some Mexican lagoons.
Among the most advocated and widely used practices for the management of the fisheries resources of lakes and reservoirs throughout the world is the stocking and recapture technique (De Silva, 1988).
Species stocked are either indigenous or exotic and either herbivorous, carnivorous, or omnivorous. In the developing countries of the tropics, where the production of more fish for food is the goal of any fisheries activity, high-yielding herbivores, detritivores and plankton feeders (like tilapia and carp), are commonly stocked in lakes and reservoirs. This is in direct contrast with the developed countries in temperate zones where carnivores like trout and bass are stocked in lakes and reservoirs to support the recreational or sport fishery (Baluyut, 1983). The major lakes and reservoirs in ASEAN countries, for example, have been stocked with hatchery-produced fingerlings of a wide variety of species including tilapia, various Chinese and Indian carps, milkfish, mullet and catfish.
In China, around 65%, or 1.4 million ha, of reservoir area out of a total of two million ha are farmed and managed like fish ponds. They are stocked with fingerlings and following a period of growth, mature fish are harvested. The species used are the common carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, mud carp, and Wuchang bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) in varying densities and species ratios (Beveridge and Phillips, 1988). Reservoir fisheries in China are almost entirely dependent on the regular release of large quantities of fingerlings because the Chinese carp do not spawn outside their area of origin. In many instances, therefore, stocked fish make up over 90% of fish catches from reservoirs (Lu, 1986).
In Israel, many water storage reservoirs (10-40 ha area, 5-7 m depth) originally constructed for irrigation, are now stocked with a range of species including tilapia, mullet and carp, usually grown in intensively managed polyculture systems (Sarig, 1984, and Hepher, 1985, as cited in Beveridge and Phillips, 1988).
Sri Lanka's large perennial reservoirs and small seasonal tanks constitute the country's main freshwater resource. These are regularly stocked with fingerlings of the different carp species (Indian, Chinese, and common) which are produced at Government-run hatcheries spread all over the country. Since the Indian and Chinese carps do not spawn in the reservoirs/tanks, they have to be stocked regularly to sustain the fisheries. There is thus large pressure on the State to accelerate its seed production programme to keep up with the large demand for fingerlings. It is interesting to note that unlike the Philippines and Thailand, for example, where fish seed production is largely a private sector undertaking, the Sri Lankan Ministry of Fisheries is primarily responsible for the production of carp fingerlings for distribution among the various reservoirs and seasonal tanks.
In Cuba, most of the freshwater fish is produced from seeding of the country's small to medium size reservoirs; in Colombia, some dams are stocked and restocked with mullets (FAO, 1986).
African small reservoirs are stocked mainly with tilapias and Clarias. In Zambia the most important species for stocking reservoirs are Tilapia melanopleura, T. macrochir, T. andersonii, and Haplochromis spp. In Zimbabwe the fish most commonly used for dam stocking are Oreochromis mossambicus, O. macrochir, T. rendalli, and several exotics like black bass and rainbow trout (Balarin, 1984).
The floodplains of tropical rivers, with their extensive network of swamps, lagoons, lakes, and ponds, have great potential for increased fish yields through better and more efficient management using either capture or culture techniques, or a combination of both.
Floodplain fisheries is a seasonal activity depending on the duration and amount of flood filling the low areas. Management of the floodplains for aquaculture and/or culture-based fisheries therefore needs to be properly timed to coincide with the seasonality of the fisheries and the water level in the floodplain.
In its simplest form, floodplain management/intensification involves merely connecting the primary channel of the river with adjacent flood plains by cutting a channel through the levy. As water levels rise, water and fish are swept outward through the channel, being caught via various gears when they return to the main river as the flood waters recede.
Floodplain management is widely practised in Africa where there are large riverine systems and associated floodplains. The practice is believed to have started back in the 1940s in Sudan (Scudder and Conelly, 1985). In the Ubangi River in Zaire, natural levees were raised with channels left open to allow fish to enter adjacent pools, and then closed off with wickerwork to form an immense fish trap. The pools could be stocked so heavily, it would be necessary to feed the fish (Leynseele, 1979 as cited in Scudder and Conelly, 1985).
In Benin, rectangular fish ponds with the long axis often running perpendicular to the river, are actually dug to increase the habitat available to the fish and to ease their capture as flood waters fall. After the annual flood has filled the ponds, the entrances are fenced off from the main river, with the pools fished toward the end of the dry season at which time vegetation growing in the ponds is removed and fences are advanced inland to concentrate the fish before they are captured (Welcome, 1979 as cited in Scudder and Conelly, 1985).
Another form of floodplain management involves the installation of brush parks or acadjas, as has been practised in several countries in West Africa (Kapetsky, 1981), and in Kampuchea and Myanmar in Asia (Hickling, 1961 as cited in Scudder and Conelly, 1985).
Brush parks involve placing vegetation in shallow water areas of floodplains to attract fish. The "park" is subsequently surrounded with netting prior to the capture of the resident population. In simpler cases, floating vegetation may be placed in the water to attract fish in search of food and refuge, and are fished within a few days. In more sophisticated cases, the floating vegetation is surrounded by stakes or branches which are driven into the river or lake bottom. Construction occurs after the annual flood with the structures fished at intervals of several weeks to several months depending on conditions. Yields as high as 28 t/ha/y were reported by Welcomme (1979), for brush parks in the Ouémé River in Benin, without apparently affecting the catch by other fishing methods in the area.
It is believed that floodplain management, because of the low cost of establishment of brush parks and other installations to modify the floodplain, presents an interesting alternative for increased fish production from extensive, still largely under-utilized water bodies, especially in regions of the world where aquaculture per se may not be that acceptable on account of the prevailing customary tradition of fish capture.

Bobby Simpson, undoubtedly one of the most versatile men linked to cricket, was born February 3, 1936. Abhishek Mukherjee looks back at a figure who had served Australian cricket for four decades in every possible way.
He played 62 Tests, scoring 4,869 runs with a highest score of 311, took 71 wickets with a best of 5 for 57, and was an outstanding slip fielder who took 110 catches. Additionally, he was an outstanding captain who came back to bail them out when they were severely crippled by Kerry Packer. Still not content, he came back as the coach who led the Australian resurgence of the mid-1980s, and helped Australia regain both the Ashes and the Frank Worrell Trophy, and win the World Cup.
Despite all this, when we talk about cricket's greatest all-rounders — the most versatile cricketers of all time — we seldom name Bobby Simpson. With an easy stance and graceful strokeplay, Simpson was easily at his best when he took the attack to the bowling. Aided by a strong physique, Simpson could hit the ball really hard — especially when he square-cut — though his lazy elegance often came into being when he drove immaculately through the V. His concentration levels were supreme; he ran very hard between the wickets; he was a wily bowler, often experimenting with his googlies; and because of his fitness, stamina, flexibility, anticipation, nimble movements and safe hands, he is often considered as one of the best slip fielders of all time.
Bobby Simpson was an early bloomer. He made his way through school and grade cricket very fast, and made his first-class debut for New South Wales at the age of 16 years and 354 days, and was the second-youngest cricketer to make his debut for the state. On his arrival to the dressing-room, Arthur Morris asked him where his nappies were.
During his tenure for New South Wales (NSW), an incident occurred which helped define one of Simpson's finest aspects of cricket. He came out as a substitute fielder, and NSW captain Keith Miller told him to stand at the slips instead of manning the ropes — the traditional territory of substitute fielders. Simpson took two outstanding catches that day, and never looked back. It was roughly at this period that he developed his leg-breaks as well.
Four years later he moved to Perth to work as an editor in a newspaper, and found himself in the Western Australia side. He kept on scoring runs, and was eventually picked for the 1957-58 tour of South Africa. It turned out to be a rather ordinary debut, but he impressed everyone with his superlative slip fielding (he took 13 catches).
It was then that Jim Burke retired from international cricket. Neil Harvey suggested Simpson to try his hand as an opening batsman to make his way back to the Test side. Simpson had decided to take the risk, went back to domestic cricket, and made it a point to prove his abilities: he had an amazing run of 98 (against Victoria), 236 not out (and 6 wickets — against NSW), 230 not out (against Queensland), 79 (against South Australia) and 98 and 161 not out (against NSW) in Sheffield Shield, scoring 902 runs from 6 innings at 300.67. Thus the second major attribute was added to his repertoire.
He had to be picked again, for the unofficial tour of New Zealand. He scored 418 runs in 4 unofficial 'Tests' at 69.67, and it finally seemed like he had arrived. He was picked once again, this time for the historic 1960-61 series, where he scored 4 fifties and a 49, and picked up 6 wickets. There was a noticeable change in his outlook at this point. Though he had retained his aggressive style, he had curbed down his strokes, and suddenly seemed to have an insatiable appetite for runs; he had cut down his hook, swaying from the line and letting the ball go.
Simpson had arrived. When the mighty West Indians toured Australia for the historic 1960-61 series, Simpson shone in their tour match against Western Australia: he scored 87 out of 140 and an unbeaten 221 out of 444 for 6, in addition to 2 crucial wickets. He was an obvious choice for the Tests. He scored 4 fifties and a 49 in the series, in addition to 6 wickets and 13 slip catches.
At this point of time he returned to NSW, and was then picked for the Ashes. Despite an ordinary series with the bat, the tour was crucial for Simpson in two aspects: due to Richie Benaud's shoulder injury Simpson bowled a lot of overs throughout the entire tour, thereby emerging as an all-rounder. And in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, he opened batting for the first time with his would-be partner Bill Lawry, putting up 113 in the second innings (after bowling out England with figures of 4 for 23).
His partnership with Lawry would flourish in the years to come. Though utterly contrasting in styles, they formed the opening pair on which Australia thrived in the 1960s. They understood each other very well, and responded to each other's calls without a hesitation. Between them they amassed 3,600 runs in 64 innings at 59.01 with 9 century-partnerships.
And then, suddenly, with the simultaneously retirements of Harvey and Alan Davidson, Simpson found himself as the vice-captain of NSW, and more importantly, the Australian Test side. He celebrated his promotion by scoring 359 — his career-best — against Queensland.
With Benaud absent due to an injury in the second Test against South Africa at Melbourne, Simpson was asked to lead Australia: he had played only 22 Tests, had scored 1,219 runs with no hundred and had picked up 22 wickets – definitely not good enough to captain a strong Test side based on merit: however, the selectors realised that he had leadership qualities, and thrust the responsibilities on his shoulders. After the series, Benaud retired and Simpson was announced the leader of an inexperienced side.
It was the 1964 Ashes that marked Simpson's arrival as a batsman. Having scored over 40 hundreds at first-class level, he was still searching for that elusive Test hundred. It was at Old Trafford that he finally reached there — with the small matter of 311. Australia needed to cling on to their 1-0 lead to retain the Ashes.
At the pre-match dinner at the Stanneylands Hotel, Simpson had announced that he would win the toss and bat for two days. He won the toss, and when asked for a drink before he went out to bat, he told Rex Sellers "I'll have a Coke, and I'll have one when I come in tonight, too." He had kept his words. For two days on the trot.
As Simpson within touching distance of his maiden Test hundred, he grew anxious. As he leg-glanced one to fine-leg, he had his heart in his mouth — dreading that the ball would be stopped, or worse, "some fieldsman had swooped from nowhere to pick up an impossible catch." When he saw that he had actually managed to cross over, he was finally relieved: he told himself "Thank God that's over; I can now get on with making some runs." He had indeed kept his words.
He added 201 with Lawry and 219 with Brian Booth, and put the Test out of England's reach. Australia held on to their lead, and retained the Ashes. In the process he became the first Australian since Don Bradman to score a triple-hundred in a Test in England, and 762-minute essay was the longest first-class innings by an Australian. Despite retaining the Ashes, the press — especially the British — criticised Simpson heavily for his negative tactics.
He continued with his form on the twin tours of India and Pakistan. At Karachi he scored 153 and 115, thereby becoming only the third captain to score two hundreds in the same Test — after Bradman and Alan Melville. He ended 1964 as the leading scorer with 1,381 Test runs — a new world record for a calendar year. He was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1965 as a result.
The centuries now continued to come: in Bridgetown in early 1965 both Simpson (201) and Lawry (210) scored double-hundreds, putting up 382 for the first wicket — a record for Australia — against Wes Hall, Charlie Griffith, Garry Sobers and Lance Gibbs. It was in this series that Simpson kept on complaining perpetually about Griffith's action.
Back home, Simpson missed the first and third Test due to illness. England went on to defeat Australia by an innings in the third Test. Under pressure upon his return in the fourth Test, Simpson put up 244 with Lawry, scored 225, and led Australia to an easy innings victory. The series was leveled.
Simpson's last years were as productive, if not more, than the earlier days of his career. He stood amidst the ruins as South Africa beat Australia 3-1; he scored 483 runs from five Tests at 48.30, took 10 wickets at 31.10 and pouched eight catches. In the only Test that Australia won, Simpson scored a 153, and then took 4 wickets.
In his last series — against India at home — he finished on a high, scoring 294 at 58.80 with two hundreds, taking 13 wickets at 16.38 and seven catches from the three Tests he played. Australia took the four-Test series 4-0. He was rested for the third Test after scoring hundreds in each of the first 2, but was brought back in the final Test at Sydney to play under Lawry. Though he failed with the bat, he spun out the Indians, taking 5 for 59 in the fourth innings and 8 for 97 in the Test — both career-best performances.
Before Kerry Packer and his purse invaded the world of cricket, Simpson had brought new alternative ways of income for the cricketers: he had found sponsors for the Australian team, and had got both Australian and West Indian cricketers to endorse products like shampoos and deodorants.
In his book Captain's Story, Simpson wrote somewhat harshly on bowlers with suspect action. Ian Meckiff, whose career had ended prematurely due to the same reason, sued Simpson; there was a five-year long litigation that was finally settled by Simpson apologising to Meckiff and settling things out of court.
When the World Series finally hit Australian cricket, all its stars — barring Jeff Thomson — deserted the national side. Simpson, then almost 42, had not played First-Class cricket for a decade. He was recalled to lead a team of rookies against India.
In the topsy-turvy series that followed, Simpson led Australia to a 3-2 win. He led from the front, scoring 539 runs at 53.90, taking 4 wickets and 6 catches. He scored two hundreds — 176 at Perth and 100 (along with a 51; he did this with a broken finger) at Sydney — becoming the oldest Australian to score a Test hundred at home.
He played another series, this time against the mighty West Indies — on their own grounds. West Indies won the series 3-1, and Simpson had a disastrous tour himself (though he still kept on taking those slip catches, setting a new world record of 110 catches). In the tour match against Barbados he scored 102 at the age of 42 against a line-up comprising of Wayne Daniel, Sylvester Clarke and Vanburn Holder.
He wanted to lead the home Ashes next year. His young brigade, whom he had united to form a coherent, somewhat formidable outfit, wanted him to lead them. However, the Australian Cricket Board did not want his services anymore, and he was replaced by Graham Yallop.
The long career had finally come to an end.
Simpson took over the charge of a depleted Australian side as the coach after several star cricketers had quit. Just like his last phase as Test captain, he had a bunch of newcomers. Allan Border, their captain, was the only cricketer of any kind of experience.
Going into the World Cup 1987 Australia had not won in any of their last 14 Tests, and had not won a single series in three years. However, Simpson instilled strong senses of discipline, fitness and professionalism in the side, and as time went by, things began to turn around.
First came the World Cup – where Australia won as rank outsiders; home victories against New Zealand and Sri Lanka followed; then the Ashes was regained by a thumping 4-0 margin on English soil. Australia beat Sri Lanka and Pakistan at home, but lost 1-2 after a stiff fight in West Indies. Australia regained the Ashes by a 3-0 margin, and then thrashed India 4-0 at home. Then, when West Indies toured Australia, the home team went 1-0 up, but Curtly Ambrose won two Tests for them, reclaiming the Frank Worrell Trophy.
It seemed that Simpson's Australians would never be able to go past the Caribbean juggernaut. Once again England were thrashed 4-1, and stiff contests with South Africa were drawn. By the time Border retired in 1993-94, Mark Taylor had appeared to take the legacy forward: Simpson and Taylor finally managed to obtain that Holy Grail — the Frank Worrell Trophy — from West Indian soil. Australia's ascent to the top was achieved under Simpson.
After more victories against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, Simpson had wanted to go out on a high note in the 1996 World Cup. They eventually lost to a rampant Sri Lanka in the final. Simpson handed over the baton to Geoff Marsh, who took on his legacy further: from the best side in the world of the 1990s they went on become the indomitables of the 2000s. The paving stone for this journey was laid by Bobby Simpson, who had taken over — and transformed drastically — a team whose backbone seemed completely broken in the mid-1980s.

Grandfathers of Getaway
By Getaway - June 15, 2019 August 5, 2019
In the spirit of reconnecting with the those that matter most to us, all Getaway cabins are named after grandparents of our employees and guests. This Father's Day, we're honoring all the dads and granddads that inspire us by sharing some memories about the grandfathers of Getaway.
Ernest, the namesake of one of our Atlanta cabins, raised three kids mostly on his own. His granddaughter Melanie Simpson remembers him as a strong man who loved to work with his hands. She says he built everything from doll houses and desks for his grandkids, to his own house.
"He was a family man who took care of us," Melanie explained. "He was full of pride and heart. He was a little rough around the edges, but once you got to know him, he had a warm caramel center. He passed away when I was 14 and I miss him everyday."
One of our Portland cabins, The Norman, was named after Patricia Sellino's father. Norman was born in the 1940s and by the time he was twenty, he was serving in the Navy and steering the USS Enterprise.
"My father was firm, but fair. He believed in your deeds, not your words" Patricia said. "Most importantly, he taught us, make sure you love yourself, because if you don't, nobody else will. Be good to others and sunshine will always find its way to you."
Brittany Wood has fond memories of seeing her grandfather Bennie, whose cabin is at Getaway Beaver Creek, work on his farm when she was growing up.
"He taught me so much about hard work and kindness," Brittany noted. "While I would play around with the dogs or swing on the porch swing, he would be working in the fields, tending to his gardens, crops and livestock. He loved the land and what it gave him."
Bennie had to be hospitalized in October 2017, a week before her wedding. One of her most cherished memories was seeing him discharged three hours before she got married.
"It meant so much to me to have him there with me and my new husband, giving us his blessing," Brittany said. "I even carried his Bible down the aisle that he carried everyday for the past 52 years- ever since his wedding day."
Located at Getaway Chattahoochee, The Walter, was named after Lizzie Sanderson's grandfather. Walter was known best for his deep love for his wife, GG, and his service in the U.S. Army.
Walter was one of the first African-American men to become a commanding officer in the Army during both World War II and the Korea Conflict. Throughout his service, he kept in touch with GG through letters.
"It is nearly impossible to describe the love they shared, but is felt by the family they left behind," Lizzie wrote.
Walter kept everything, including countless photo albums with family photos and binders filled with these letters.
"He was the epitome of a good man and he raise his only son, my father, to be the same," Lizzie said. "He is gone, but his legacy remains ingrained in the hearts of the people whose lives he touched."
