Köstlin ist der Name einer mehrheitlich in Württemberg ansässigen evangelischen Theologen- und Beamtenfamilie, die eine stattliche Zahl bedeutender Persönlichkeiten in Kirche und Gesellschaft hervorgebracht hat. Ebenso haben Mitglieder dieser Familie auf dem Gebiet der Musik, der Dichtung und der Schönen Künste besonders zur Zeit der Romantik eine bedeutende Rolle gespielt.

Herkunft und Entwicklung
Die Familie Köstlin ist schwäbischen Ursprunges. Die ersten urkundlichen Erwähnungen finden sich im 15. Jahrhundert auf dem Gebiet der Reichsstadt Esslingen (Henslin Köstlin 1460, Peter Cöstlin 1495). Im 16. Jahrhundert begegnen die Brüder Cosmann Köstlin (* 1563), Schultheiß in Mettingen, von dem die nicht näher erforschte Mettinger Linie abzweigt, und Johannes (* 1565), Weingärtner, verheiratet mit Ursula Knapp († 1593), der die Esslinger Linie begründete. Dessen Sohn Cosmann (1592–1646), ein gelernter Schuhmacher, diente im Dreißigjährigen Krieg als kaiserlicher Unteroffizier und wurde 1643 Torwart am Mettinger Tor in Esslingen. Sein durch die Kriegsläufte in Worms geborener einziger Sohn, Cosmann (1641–1685), schlug als erster Köstlin die Theologenlaufbahn ein und amtierte als Pfarrer in Degenfeld und Deizisau, zuletzt als Diakonus in Esslingen. Von seinen zwei überlebenden Söhnen wurde der ältere, Cosmann Friedrich Köstlin (1675–1739), Chirurg und Ratsherr in Esslingen, und der jüngere, Tobias Köstlin (1679–1725), wie sein Vater ebenfalls Pfarrer, zuletzt in Bönnigheim.

Während die Ehe des Chirurgen Cosmann Friedrich Köstlin mit einer Angehörigen der Familie Hegel kinderlos blieb, hatten Tobias Köstlin mit seiner Frau Christiana Dorothea geb. Hauff (1687–1733), einer Urgroßtante des Dichters Wilhelm Hauff, zehn Kinder, von denen sieben im jugendlichen Alter verstarben. Es überlebten Cosmann Friedrich Köstlin (1711–1790), Tobias Köstlin (1713–1761), herzoglicher Rat, Untervogt und Keller zu Brackenheim, sowie Heinrich Köstlin (1718–1748), Pfarrer von Rötenberg im Schwarzwald, dessen Sohn Friedrich (1747–1814) als Stadtpfarrer die Alpirsbacher Linie begründete. Sowohl die Brackenheimer als auch die Alpirsbacher Linie sind später im Mannesstamm erloschen. Ein Sohn des Brackenheimer Tobias ist der jung verstorbene aber dennoch bedeutende Professor für Naturgeschichte an der Stuttgarter Hohen Karlsschule, Karl Heinrich Köstlin.

Gemeinsamer Vorfahre der unten angeführten Persönlichkeiten und aller noch heute lebenden Familienangehörigen ist somit der älteste Sohn des Bönnigheimer Stadtpfarrers, Cosmann Friedrich Köstlin, welcher im Jahr 1747 zum Superintendenten (Dekan) in Heidenheim und 1753 zum "Senior Ministerii" (Oberpfarrer) in Esslingen ernannt wurde und im Jahr 1763 ein neues Kirchengesangbuch herausgab.

Theologisch war die Familie Köstlin vom Pietismus geprägt: zum Teil enge persönliche Kontakte bestanden zu Philipp Jakob Spener, August Hermann Francke, Johann Albrecht Bengel und Friedrich Christoph Oetinger.

Die Familie kennzeichnet eine starke Neigung zur Kunst, insbesondere zur Dicht- und Liedkunst der Romantik. So gehörten die Brüder Heinrich (1787–1859) und August Köstlin (1792–1873) der Schwäbischen Dichterschule an und waren mit Justinus Kerner, Karl Mayer, Ludwig Uhland, Gustav Schwab, Eduard Mörike und Nikolaus Lenau befreundet. Über die Liederkomponistin Josephine Köstlin geb. Lang ergaben sich Beziehungen zu Musikern wie Fanny und Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy und Clara und Robert Schumann. Die Tochter der Liederkomponistin, Maria Fellinger geb. Köstlin (1849–1925), gehörte zum engeren Freundeskreis um Johannes Brahms, von dem sie als Bildhauerin, Malerin und Fotografin bekannte Porträts schuf. Kultureller Treffpunkt war die Villa Köstlin des Ehepaares Christian Reinhold und Josefine Köstlin in der Tübinger Rümelinstraße 27, die mittlerweile unter Denkmalschutz gestellt worden ist. Heute befindet sich dort das Zentrum für Islamische Theologie als Einrichtung der Universität Tübingen. Der Unternehmer Ulrich Köstlin setzt sich aktuell dafür ein, dass die Villa im Sinne seiner Vorfahren wieder für Dichterlesungen und musikalische Soireen zur Verfügung gestellt wird.

Das Familienwappen Köstlin, das bereits der erste Pfarrer führte, zeigt im Schild einen auf dem Kopf stehenden "gestürzten" Schrank mit Kugelfüßen (redend gemeint, den Namen von "Kästl[e]in", schwäbisch "Kasten" für Schrank, ableitend, doch wird der Name als alemannisch verkürzte Form von "Konstantin" gedeutet), auf dem Helm den Rumpf eines bärtigen Mannes mit Zipfelmütze. Die Farben sind unbekannt.

Bis zum heutigen Tag ist der Hauptanteil dieser alten Familie des Bildungsbürgertums mit immer noch mehr als 100 Adressbucheintragungen schwerpunktmäßig in Württemberg vertreten.

A new manufacturing facility to produce stay-in-place concrete wall forming systems that promote easy construction in all types of climates. The factory on Grand Turk will produce and manufacture from raw materials, a complete range of Extruded Polymer Forms to enable the construction of a full range of structures, from low-income homes, houses, villas, apartments, resorts, schools, shopping malls, and warehouses. Nuform Building Technologies Inc. (NUFORM®), the company who will do the technology transfer, is a leading provider of ceiling and wall systems in North America and around the world. With installations in over 60 different countries Nuform's cutting-edge building systems – CONFORM®, RELINE® and RENU® have revolutionized the construction industry offering smart alternatives to traditional building materials which can be cost and labor intensive. NUFORM® weather-resistant building systems are impervious to heat or cold and can be designed to withstand hurricanes and earthquakes. The rigid polymer forms easily slide together; creating durable pre-finished walls that can be constructed quickly saving you time and money. The panels are erected and poured with concrete leaving a finished wall that requires no additional painting, stucco or additional cladding.
Mr. Day and Mr. Nash comment that they are happy to be entering into this agreement today to bring new technologies to Turks and Caicos and to create new high-value employment for residents of Grand Turk.
A General Fabrication, Welding and Engineering Company that will facilitate fabrication of steel buildings, frames, braces, gates, fencing and security grills to complement the Nuform and other buildings. It will also perform ship, container and marine repairs and equipment maintenance.
Grand Turk Plastic Recycling and Injection Moulding will consist of a small recycling plant to collect plastic containers, aluminium beverage containers, steel cans, cardboard, glass bottles and glass containers and debris from consumers on Grand Turk and from Cruise Ships calling at Grand Turk Cruise Centre. The plastic waste will be converted into a powder or pellet form and used in an Injection Moulding Process for a raw material to create plastic deck, beach furniture, water tanks, containers, bins, buckets, etc. for sale locally and for regional export.
A Marine Insurance Office with a Lloyds- Bahamas Sub Office.
Grand Turk Shipping will arranging the shipment of Imports and Exports from Enterprise Zone Businesses, custom clearance, ships agency, etc.
Mr. Nash has already done the most of the legwork associated with the Transfer of Technology and all that is needed now is the TCI Government's approval and we will be able to create at least 72 new manufacturing, management and administration jobs, along with many new business opportunities for residents of Turks & Caicos. The other companies' mention above will add another 20 to 25 jobs for Grand Turk.
Paul Day a resident of Grand Turk since 1993 started his various Engineering careers in the UK, then joined the Royal Navy as a Nuclear Submariner before joining the British Merchant Navy as a Navigation Officer. After retiring from military service he owned an Engineering Company involved in ship repair, marine salvage, design and build and operated turn key food processing companies in the UK, USA, Martinique, Belize, Guyana, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Indonesia and the Turks & Caicos Islands. Mr. Day was the largest private sector employer on Grand Turk and the largest importer and exporter in the TCI for nearly two decades. Besides operating Columbus Foods Ltd (Rice Mill) and Sugar Millers (TCI) Ltd Mr. Day operated a shipping hub at South Dock, Grand Turk, connecting South America, the Caribbean, the USA and Europe during the same period.
Technologies, past Chair of the NL branch of the Canadian Manufacturing Association, and former Board member of the National organization representing over ten thousand (10,000) Canadian Manufacturing Companies. His background give him access to key industry players in every Province of Canada and he is working with Mr. Day of the Grand Turk Development Enterprise to bring new and innovative industry opportunities to Grand Turk.

I think everyone can agree on the general problem: we need more people racing go karts. Where people will start to disagree, is how do we make that happen?
I think licensing, scholarships, etc all have merit but I think you are putting the kart before the horse. I don't think those are the issues currently keeping people out.
When a suburb family is at the dinner table deciding if they want to try kart racing, they aren't doing so with the mindset that they want to dominate at the nationals by next season, or drive for a factory team in two years. They just want to have fun! So the easy solutions should be – set up an affordable base level program that allows them to have fun.
Our Ignite series at the Gateway Kartplex is a spec series, targeted at new racers. Everyone runs the same chassis (same adjustability as any modern kart), a sealed LO206 and Bridgestone YDS (hard) tires. The average cost per weekend is roughly $60 which includes entry, you'll only need two new sets of tires per year and the package itself is incredibly low maintenance. That is what I think of when I think of "Grass Roots". People just want to have close, fair racing and this package gives the opportunity to do that. The low horsepower/hard tire combination creates a wider skill gap (not a wallet gap) that will help drivers hone their skills and be better prepared, should they decide to move on to a higher end of karting in the future.
Take that program, transplant it into other clubs and I think you will start to see the numbers grow.

Why It's Important to Leave Your Brand's "Footprints" in the Digital Bazaar by @mnburgess
by Sam Kennedy | 0 comments
It is every brand's responsibility to leave as large a footprint as possible in the digital village. There must be no mistaking that, yes, your brand was here, and yes, its presence is worth paying attention to. This is a process undertaken in thousands of small steps. The challenge is to make sure these steps look deliberate and coordinated. The more focused the effort, the greater the impact, and the larger your brand's digital footprint will become.
Social businesses are ideally suited for this task. During our interviews with IBM for our book The Social Employee (McGraw-Hill, 2013), we had a chance to speak with Ethan McCarty (@ethanmcc), Director of Enterprise Social Strategy, about the company's own digital footprints. In the course of our conversation, he provided a very useful analogy that I think typifies the value of social employee engagement strategies.
The analogy goes something like this: Let a baseball represent a traditional, command-and-control organization, and let a bag of marbles represent a social business. Both of these objects have roughly the same amount of volume. However, because the bag of marbles is comprised of many smaller, independent objects, its total surface area is considerably greater than that of the single baseball. Not only that, but these marbles are capable of freely moving around within the bag, making new connections and forming new configurations from moment to moment.
Following McCarty's analogy, in order to leave a big footprint, brands must leverage their employee bases to create as much surface area as they can. It's not that brands need to have bigger feet than Bigfoot, it's that they need to produce greater surface area through the cumulative impact of their smaller, individual footsteps. By engaging more frequently through smaller, user-focused interactions, a brand can cover more ground in the same amount of time, thoroughly explore and understand that ground, and create more opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and innovation in the process.
A brand might leave a footprint in the mud every once in a while, but once everyone has had a chance to examine that single, ambiguous depression in the mud, they will realize that they're no closer to understanding the brand, what makes it tick, or where it's headed. This is not the kind of impression today's brands can afford to make.
In the world of social business, we should aspire to be less like Bigfoot and more like the millipede, which is ultimately better equipped to leave the larger cumulative footprint in the digital bazaar. The millipede, after all, coordinates hundreds of individual parts to propel itself forward, gets where it's going without much of a fuss, and quickly and decisively changes direction without wasting too many costly, errant steps.
As Cheryl Burgess, my co-author of The Social Employee said last month on IBM's Smarter Planet blog, before a brand can communicate externally it must first engage internally.
So it is with leveraging social employees in the digital bazaar. While each individual act or engagement may not seem like much, when taken as a whole, they create a rich network of connectivity, knowledge, and authority can't be matched. For a social business to move like the millipede, a social employee culture must be established early and reinforced regularly. That way, moving forward will always feel natural, effortless, and instantaneous.
This post was originally published on IBM's Smarter Planet Blog.
In The Social Employee, we go behind the scenes with several leading brands—such as IBM, AT&T, Dell, Adobe, Southwest Airlines, Cisco, Acxiom, and Domo—pulling the lid off the inspiring social business success stories that have propelled these companies into the 21st century. These cutting-edge brands have all come to the same realization: the path to social business lies through empowering the social employee.

Travel, Place, Identity: Unpacking the Idea of Home
May 17 | 7pm | Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre | Tickets $22
How is our sense of self influenced by where we live, or where we travel? What will we find when we examine our sense of place under the microscope? Are we who we think we are? What does home mean, and do we change if it changes? Join moderator Leslie Anthony and authors Pat Ardley (Grizzlies, Gales and Giant Salmon: Life at a Rivers Inlet Fishing Lodge), Becky Livingston (The Suitcase and the Jar: Travels with a Daughter's Ashes), Geoff Powter (Inner Ranges: An Anthology of Mountain Thoughts and Mountain People) and Frank Wolf (Lines on a Map: Unparalleled Adventures in Modern Exploration) for intimate readings and a conversation on how travel, place and identity are entwined with what we call home.
Pat Ardley was born in the Canadian prairies; a yellow Toyota, the voice of Cat Stevens and a best friend brought her to BC. After a life of adventure on the west coast with the love of her life, building the world class Rivers Lodge in Rivers Inlet, she is now settled in West Vancouver where she tends to a beautiful garden, sings in a bluegrass choir and enjoys many cups of tea and glasses of champagne with friends. Pat can be seen walking the seashore with her beloved dog Lindsay by her side and taking in many a music concert. Her memoir Grizzlies, Gales and Giant Salmon: Life at a Rivers Inlet Fishing Lodge is a touching tribute to coastal life.
Becky Livingston grew up in England. After graduate work in the US, she moved to Vancouver, BC, and worked as an elementary school teacher for over 20 years. In 2015, she completed the Vancouver Manuscript Intensive. Her work appears in the anthology Always With Me. She currently lives in Nelson, BC. The Suitcase and the Jar is her first book.
Geoff Powter is a long time climber and adventurer with 13 Himalayan expeditions and dozens of Canadian first ascents on his resume. He is the winner of 14 National Magazine Awards including both the Gold and Silver awards in the same year in the Sports Journalism category. Powter was the Founding Editor of Polar Circus, and Editor of The Canadian Alpine Journal for 13 years. He is the author of two previous books — Canadian Summits and Strange and Dangerous Dreams: The Fine Line Between Adventure and Madness.
Frank Wolf is an adventurer, filmmaker, writer and environmentalist. In addition to his film work, he is known for magazine feature articles and online columns that document wilderness expeditions around the world, with a focus on the Canadian North. His expeditions include being the first to canoe across Canada in one season and cycling 2000 km in winter on the Yukon River from Dawson to Nome. His films include Wild Ones, The Hand of Franklin, Kitturiaq, On the Line, Mammalian and Borealis, all of which are broadcast regularly on CBC's documentary channel in Canada. His new book is Lines on a Map: Unparalleled Adventures in Modern Exploration.

Time is running out to update your driver's license
By Rudy Koski
AUSTIN, Texas - It was a busy day at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
Among those flying out Thursday morning was Chari Kelly. She had her ticket and her Texas driver's license. What Kelly didn't have was an updated ID card with new security features. "I don't think there is ever too much security, for our nation's safety … no, it doesn't bother me that I'll have to renew my license," said Kelly.
Thursday, airport and state officials issued a warning.
If you want to make it through the checkpoints and fly, after October 1st 2020, you'll need a new ID. "This was a recommendation from the 9-11 commission, they have many recommendations following 9/11 obviously, and one of them was to improve the identification process," said Mike Scott with TSA.
State licenses and identification cards with new security features are marked with a gold star. It's located on the top right corner. "Don't wait to the last minute, that's why we are here 13 months early to talk about it," said Scott.
The program is called Real ID and the new card is also needed in order to gain entry on to federal property. While officials declined to provide details about the security features on the card, they did say there are two other options available. A passport or military ID.
The State has been transitioning IDs for the past three years.
16 million new IDs have been processed, but many others have not yet switched over. "There is about 4 million cards, 4 million people out there, with a card that's not compliant today," said Deputy Texas DPS Director Skylor Hearn.
Notifications are being mailed out, especially for those who have renewal dates after October 2020. "So what we are going to do is bug you to death, you're going to get a letter every 90 days until we see you," said Hearn.
Going online is the quickest way to get a new real ID.
But some, like those who will need an updated picture, will have to go in person to a driver license center. State officials are ramping up for a last minute rush. "We will be hiring over 700 additional people to work in our 229 locations around the state, should have most of those on boarded by the end of this calendar year," Hearn.
The extra security features on Texas ID cards does not include the use of radio frequency technology, like on TX TAGS or computer chips similar to what's on most bank cards. But that technology is in use on passports.

Q: Export sqlite DB as csv - Sqlite.swift I am using sqlite in my iOS application. I would like to export this db and put it in a centralized db. How to export sqlite db? I am using sqlite.swift. Thanks!

A: this following is only a portion of the code. Pasted below is what is required to answer your question:
- (NSString *)dataFilePathCustom:(NSString *)filename withExtension:(NSString *)ext {
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains( NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *dictionaryDocuments = [paths objectAtIndex: 0];
    return [dictionaryDocuments stringByAppendingPathComponent: [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@.%@", filename, ext]];

}

- (void)SQL_ITEMS_voidExportCSVFormat {
    NSString *string = @"\"CSV Export\"";
    NSArray *arrayContents = [self SQL_returnContentsOfTable];
    for (NSArray *arrayItem in arrayContents) {
        string = [string stringByAppendingFormat: @"\r%d,\"%@\",%d", [arrayItem[0] intValue], arrayItem[1], [arrayItem[2] intValue]];

    }

    [string writeToFile: [self dataFilePathCustom: @"ExportFile" withExtension: @"csv"] atomically: YES encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding error: nil];

}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [self SQL_voidClearRowsFromTable];
    [self SQL_ITEMS_voidInsertRowWithArray: @[@"ONE", @25]];
    [self SQL_ITEMS_voidInsertRowWithArray: @[@"TWO", @225]];
    [self SQL_ITEMS_voidInsertRowWithArray: @[@"THREE", @21]];
    [self SQL_ITEMS_voidInsertRowWithArray: @[@"FOUR", @55]];
    [self SQL_ITEMS_voidInsertRowWithArray: @[@"FIVE", @56]];
    [self SQL_ITEMS_voidInsertRowWithArray: @[@"SIX", @77]];
    [self SQL_ITEMS_voidInsertRowWithArray: @[@"SEVEN", @25]];
    [self SQL_ITEMS_voidExportCSVFormat];

}

This line of code, NSArray *arrayContents = [self SQL_returnContentsOfTable];, returns the contents of the SQL Table. SELECT * FROM Items; was the query used to populate this array, arrayContents

Aquatica San Diego to Become Sesame Place

Sesame Place San Diego

SEAS has announced that the second Sesame Place will be opening in 2021 in San Diego on the site of the current Aquatica San Diego.
California Family Theme Park & Water Park | Sesame Place San Diego
With a mix of theme park and water rides, shows, games and fun activities for all ages, come see why Sesame Place is the best family theme park. Located in Chula Vista, California.

SeaWorld plans a new Sesame Place theme park in Chula Vista
Theme park based on Sesame Street characters to open in 2021 at the Aquatica water park site. It's the first on the West Coast.

Reactions: b.mac, Eric, tursiops and 3 others
I guess it makes sense why they have felt they were still on track time wise. They are apparently removing adult rides and retheming Aquatica into Sesame Place which should take less time than building a new park from scratch.
Aquatica San Diego will be closing at the end of the 2020 season to make way for Sesame Place San Diego in 2020.

Reactions: Eric, Mushroom and wombat96
Wow. This is really unexpected. That park was literally bought less than ten years ago with the sole purpose to be a water park and now it's going to be converted to a theme park. I imagine based on the success of this we'll see how Williamsburg will play out, but I think with San Diego being a much bigger tourism market and the negative connotation of the SEAS brand in California this is a very smart move.

I understand why they chose this. But I'm still sort of disappointed it wouldn't be going somewhere closer.
But, and I doubt anybody could honestly answer this, but why is Sesame Place mostly a water park? Like I understand having a splash pad or water playground for kids like FoF and LotD has. But this is just a water park themed the Sesame Street. PA's is the same thing. I just wanna know why they picked water park as their park of choice, instead of going with a dry park with some water attractions.

Unless I'm mistaken, isn't the climate in that part of the world hot and humid for most parts of the year?
I'd figure it's easier to get kids and their parents interested in getting in a water park for them over a dry park with some water based rides.

Yeah, you're mistaken. San Diego has probably the nicest weather year round. Hardly gets above 80 in the summer and it's not the convection oven humidity we have here.
Reactions: UncleDuncan, Zachary, belsaas and 2 others
It sounds like they will be adding in a number of dry rides. I am not sure why it was ever this way.
Currently SPL is roughly 50/50 water and dry rides. My guess is that the original developers wanted to have both because they felt it would keep the people coming back and allow them to have more variety then just a water park or just a dry park.
Reactions: tursiops
Connor said:
I do agree. I think it's a smart move to help bolster business in Southern California. They have been heavily investing in rides there especially. The combo of new rides and a be family park should be an interesting combo that will probably greatly increase pass sales.
BGWnut said:
Yes but it wasn't always 50/50, the dry rides have been added over the years at the PA park.
I'm asking in general as to why for Sesame Street they chose water park versus a dry park. Sure for San Diego I suppose it makes more sense to have it be more of a water park than a dry park. But for PA? From my vaguest of memories (which of course means it's not entirely accurate at all) sesame place was more of a water park that they've slowly added dry rides to. Having a water park based for Sesame Street just doesn't make a whole lot of sense in my mind, especially for PA where it does actually get cold. Sure now they have enough to operate like BGW does for Halloween and Christmas. But it's still mostly a water park.
That's where I'm saying it's an odd choice. Idk to me meet and greets with characters and kids in soaking wet swim suits aren't a good mix for the costumes.
Reactions: musicman3204 and BGWnut
The new park already has their own website up separate from Aquatica San Diego.
Also new concept art is up on the new site. It appears that they are not changing much at all of the existing water park.
Reactions: tursiops, wombat96, Applesauce and 1 other person
Ok, so based on the concept art I've taken the current Aquatica park map and relabeled some things roughly and marked in blue where it appears they are planning to "drop in" some dry rides within the existing park.
Reactions: Mushroom, lightninlady and Zachary
AlpenChariot
This makes the chances of SEAS installing another water park near SWSD completely unlikely, correct?
tursiops
I'm disappointed it's not Williamsburg, but I'm not surprised they wanted to spread out west.

Reactions: AlpenChariot, Zachary and tursiops
The more I look into this, the less and less I am impressed by it. It's more or less the existing water park minus one intense slide, a Zamperla kiddie rides package, and a new entrance with a small Sesame Street Facade.
Reactions: Sly4Good and tursiops
They'll be going head to head with Legoland. I think retaining the water aspects with the additional SS stuff might be a solid draw.

In the article that I posted on the original post that are quoted as saying that the only existing ride that will be removed is HooRoo Run. It also says that there will be coasters and other rides. My guess would be that there will be additional information coming.

Studio Update: March Madness
on March 12, 2015 March 12, 2015 By ILL-ADVISED
I've decided to start posting regular "studio updates" about the progress of the upcoming record. Those of you who already follow the band or are other independent musicians and bands might find these posts interesting as I will be writing about the different challenges I face and the methods I have been using to record an album in my home studio.
With the tentative release date for the record later this fall, I've kicked things into overdrive hitting the studio every single day in between classes. The record has been narrowed down to eleven songs from over thirty and I'm largely happy with how this group of songs are turning out. Every song has a unique sound and perspective lyrically and the more I listen to them the more they begin to fit a storyline or concept. Recording this album is like re-experiencing the past few years of my life and in the most general sense, I think it's an album about growing up.
Luckily, I have been given the opportunity to record at my University's studio which I am utilizing to track vocals. There is something to be said for a well-treated room when it comes to recording vocals – and a nice pre-amp. So far, I'm really happy with the results and it's great to have other people involved to break up the monotony that working in a home studio, largely self-contained, can create. I've been pushing myself beyond my limits vocally and I'm psyched to say that it's paying off.
Anyway, my 15 minute break is up – time to get back to mixing. I'll occasionally post clips and updates on the Ill-Advised Instagram @illadvisedband and my personal account so feel free to check that out if you're so inclined.

Tanzania wants Indian Tourists. And this opportunity signals a change in Fortunes for the Tanzania Aviation Industry.
Tanzania's National carrier Air Tanzania, revived barely two years ago, as it seeks to play a bigger role in the regional African aviation market, which is dominated by Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda.
Tanzania's maiden Dreamliner aircraft is set to land at the Julius Nyerere International Airport on the afternoon of Monday July 9, having delayed its delivery by two days. The plane successfully underwent its runway test flight at the Paine field in Seattle, Washington last week and will be accompanied by executives from its manufacturers Boeing and its Trent engine manufacturer, Rolls-Royce.They are expected to be received by Tanzania's President John Magufuli.
The airplane is scheduled to touch down on Monday at 3pm local time, having completed a 22-hour flight through Europe to fuel. Air Tanzania's new Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner will be powered by the latest version of the Trent 1000 TEN (Thrust, Efficiency and New Technology). This engine will power all three versions of the Boeing 787 and offers up to three per cent lower fuel burn than its competitors.
The engine helps the Dreamliner to achieve 20 per cent greater efficiency than the aircraft it replaces, as well as halving the noise footprint of previous-generation aircraft. The plane, christened "Kilimanjaro-Hapa kazi tu," will now see Air Tanzania start operating intercontinental routes to Mumbai starting in September.
Two weeks ago, the airlines commercial and business development director Patrick Ndekana said the Dreamliner aircraft will fly to Mumbai three times a week — its first flight outside the continent.
In March, Air Tanzania said that the 787 Dreamliner will be its flagship aircraft as it renews and grows its fleet.
The Air Tanzania fleet improvement programme, which The EastAfrican has seen, includes purchase of six aircraft including three Bombardier DASH8 Q400s — two of which were delivered in September 2016, and which it now uses for its domestic routes between Dar es Salaam and the Comoros islands, Mwanza, Kigoma and Mtwara.
It also received one Bombardier DASH8 Q400 in June last year. The plan shows that by July, Air Tanzania should be operating a fleet of seven aircraft as it has been operating one Bombardier DASH8 Q300 since 2011.
The airline will also be receiving two more new Bombardier CS300s after the country's flight agency finalised purchase agreements with American manufacturer Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Canada's Bombardier Inc.
Two years ago, Tanzania decided to develop a programme for revamping its national carrier, which included buying six new aircraft between 2016 and 2018, payment of debts and provision of start-up capital, improvement and modernisation of business systems.

Q: XSLT transform child element to attribute in the parent <?xml version="1.0"?>
<parent id="38" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <child id="1" colorType="firstColor" colorKey="blue"/>
  <child id="2" colorType="secondColor" colorKey="red"/>
</parent>

So I have the previous XML and I would like to transform it, using XSLT, in the following way:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<parent id="38" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
firstColor="blue" secondColor="red">
</parent>

So two values from the child element to be used as a pair attribute in the parent, removing the child element in the process. I tried but can't wrap my head around what seems to be the basics of XSLT.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="parent">
    <parent>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </parent>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="parent">
    <parent>
      <xsl:attribute name="{@colorType}">
        <xsl:value-of select="@colorKey"/>
      </xsl:attribute>
     </parent>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

A: You are on the right lines, but you actually need to create an attribute for each child element under parent, so you could use xsl:for-each here:
Try replacing your parent template with this:
<xsl:template match="parent">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
        <xsl:for-each select="child">
            <xsl:attribute name="{@colorType}">
                <xsl:value-of select="@colorKey" />
            </xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Also note the use of xsl:copy-of to copy the existing attributes. Also note the use of <xsl:copy> instead of just doing <parent> as this will ensure the namespace declaration for "xsi" is copied too.

A: I would go for something like the following, i.e., simply applying templates to child and matching it, so that each child will turn into attributes:
<xsl:template match="parent">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
        <xsl:apply-templates select="child" />
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="child">
    <xsl:attribute name="{@colorType}" select="@colorKey" />
</xsl:template>

I generally prefer applying templates to for-each'ing over a set of nodes, as it is usually easier to adapt later, and is (generally) easier to follow.

The Children's Safety Partnership (CSP) was created to support schools and communities in these efforts. CSP is an online toolkit with information for parents, teachers, administrators, schools, and communities for implementing Maine's law, and responding to and preventing child sexual abuse. The Children's Safety Partnership is a program of the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault in partnership with the Maine Department of Education, Maine's sexual assault service providers, and local schools across the state.
MECASA coordinates the statewide crisis and support line. MECASA works to ensure that the system works correctly, and supports providers when any changes need to be made or problems arise.
Help in Healing: The Advocate Manual
The statewide advocate manual is the resource used to train every staff and volunteer advocate in the state, and outlines all of the most important issues and skills related to sexual violence advocacy. Over a five-year period, a team of direct service providers wrote and edited the manual with facilitation from MECASA; it is updated and distributed by MECASA.
MECASA's website houses MECASA publications, the most up-to-date sexual violence statistics, local and national resources, and information about Maine's sexual assault service providers. It is a resource for MECASA's board, center directors, and service providers, for statewide and local partners, and for the general public.
Prevention Education Toolkit
The Prevention Education Toolkit was created by MECASA in partnership with prevention educators from across the state. It includes the common learning objectives for each of the most frequently-taught prevention topics, and aligns with the Maine Department of Education's Maine Learning Results: Parameters for Essential Education (which outlines the skills and behaviors that every Maine school must teach toward). The toolkit also contains a variety of activities and lesson plans, tips and tools, and many state and national resources in their entirety. Specific curricula related to child sexual abuse prevention is included.
Intervention Toolkit
The Intervention Toolkit is an ever-changing website fill of resources for advocates doing direct services. It includes sections on Rural Advocacy, PREA, Support Groups, Supervision, and Advocate Training. The tools (webinars, curriculum, manuals, facilitator guides, outreach materials, program overviews, contact info, and more!) are both MECASA created and the best of the national resources.
Factsheets and Handouts
MECASA staff develop factsheets and handouts related to a variety of sexual violence prevention and intervention topics. These include, but are not limited to: a general factsheet about sexual violence, a "how to report" map for mandated reporters, a child sexual abuse prevention and resources sheet, a healthy sexuality factsheet, and many others. Visit our website for a full list.
Law Enforcement First Responder Guidelines
In partnership with the Maine Chiefs of Police Association, Maine Prosecutors' Association, Maine Sheriffs' Association, and the Maine State Police, MECASA created this standard guidance for law enforcement first responders to sexual violence. Every law enforcement officer in the state received a copy when the tool was first created, and every new Maine Criminal Justice Academy cadet receives a copy as well. It is available electronically or in hard copy through MECASA to hand out at local first responder trainings.
MECASA Messenger
MECASA staff compiles new and useful resources and information to send to providers on a monthly basis. This includes MECASA and center news, legislative updates, valuable tools from the field, the most up-to-date sexual violence research, relevant articles and reports, and important dates for upcoming meetings, trainings, webinars, and conferences of interest. We also send out monthly Resource Round-Ups through the Maine Sex Trafficking and Exploitation Network and the Maine Network of Children's Advocacy centers.

You know, Swindon is not a bad place to be if you want to get yourself off the sofa and get into the great outdoors. I've written at length here about the West Swindon sculpture walk and the walk along the old town railway path where the wheel sculptures are. But there are dozens more walks and cycle paths to be explored. Swindon is on the Sustrans cycle network for a start. Swindon benefits too from being flat in many areas so if, like me, you aren't that keen on hills, you are in the right place.
There are certainly numerous walks in Swindon that can be done in less than an hour - take a look here at 'Get Walking- Keep Walking' for some ideas. For a start there's an easy 40 minute walk from Windmill Hill, along Hay Lane, through Freshbrook and back.
All the information you need is on the Health Walks website so do check it out. Alternatively you can find them on Facebook.
If you are up to something more strenuous consider joining the Ramblers Society - they have walks mapped out up and down the county and have groups in both Swindon and Highworth.

Q: Picking shapes in Java 3D I need to add drag-drop feature to some shapes (say cylinders) that I have created in my Java3D application. I think I know the basic steps (though vaguely):

*

*Construct a PickCanvas using the current Canvas and the root BranchGroup.

*Set mode of PickCanvas to PickCanvas.GEOMETRY, which according to the documentation is more accurate [ Doubt: What is the difference between the various picking modes, i.e. BOUNDS, GEOMETRY, GEOMETRY_INTERSECT_INFO ? It is not clear to me from the documetation. What does picking by geometry really mean? ]

*Set capabilities of objects that I want to pick. [ Doubt: What is the difference between these two methods of setting capabilities? -  node.setCapability(Node.ENABLE_PICK_REPORTING) and PickTool.setCapabilities(node, PickTool.INTERSECT_FULL) ? ]

*Add a mouseListener to the canvas.

*In the mousePressed method, I need to identify what object has been clicked, and then take appropriate action.[ Doubt: This is the part I am most confused about. It would be very helpful if a detailed answer could be given on how I can I identify what object has been clicked.]

Also, what exactly are PickShapes and how will they affect the picking algorithm ?
I am really sorry if I am asking very basic questions, but I've spent the whole day reading the docs and being a beginner, those just aren't enough for me. I'm hard pressed for time and I hope the Stackoverflow community would be generous enough to explain me my doubts with patience. Thanks a lot !
UPDATE: Just to clarify, by drag-and-drop feature, I mean that I want to translate a cylinder from one position on the canvas to some other using the usual left-mouse-press, drag and mouse-release gesture.

A: To translate (and rotate) shapes, use the MouseBehavior classes.  For example, with the following, rotate with left mouse button and translate with right.
public Test()
{
    SimpleUniverse universe = new SimpleUniverse();
    BranchGroup group = new BranchGroup();

    TransformGroup rootTransformGroup = new TransformGroup();
    group.addChild(rootTransformGroup);
    rootTransformGroup.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_TRANSFORM_WRITE);
    rootTransformGroup.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_TRANSFORM_READ);

    ColorCube colorCube = new ColorCube(.3);
    rootTransformGroup.addChild(colorCube);

    BoundingSphere boundingSphere = new BoundingSphere(new Point3d(0, 0, 0), 1000);

    MouseRotate mouseRotate = new MouseRotate();
    mouseRotate.setTransformGroup(rootTransformGroup);
    mouseRotate.setSchedulingBounds(boundingSphere);
    group.addChild(mouseRotate);

    MouseTranslate mouseTrans = new MouseTranslate();
    mouseTrans.setTransformGroup(rootTransformGroup);
    mouseTrans.setSchedulingBounds(boundingSphere);
    group.addChild(mouseTrans);

    universe.getViewingPlatform().setNominalViewingTransform();
    universe.addBranchGraph(group);
}


 Great success for the first Gran Fondo "Costa de Almería".
Great success for the First Gran Fondo "Costa de Almería" cycle race.
The First 'Gran Fondo, Costa de Almería' cycle race, held last weekend in Mojácar, proved to be a resounding success, pleasing organizers and participants alike.
The unanimous opinion was that this event is going to become one of the best on the Spanish calendar, as a well as a very important rival to the most prestigious international cycling challenges. With perfect organization overall, coupled with the fabulous scenic route, it could well be set to become a higher category race.
All this however, has not just happened on its own, as Mojácar Tourism Councillor Emmanuel Agüero Leclerc, pointed out the ten years of background work that has gone on to bring this event to fruition in the town.
Cyclists from all over Europe are already familiar with Mojácar and the Costa de Almería, which has come about over the years by the town's presence at the most important international fairs, improving and building up cycling for tourists, with a clear vision of developing sports tourism as an important formula to fight seasonality.
Through the joint efforts of the Mojácar's Servigroup hotel group, the prestigious sports company Kortwerg, Velofutur; Mojácar Council and Almería Provincial Council, between February and May, 1,200 cyclists, mainly from Holland and the Netherlands stayed in the area for a week.
This first Gran Fondo Costa de Almería attracted an outstanding amount of foreign athletes, with almost 50% of the 190 runners coming from other European countries. The winner in the male category was Daniel Kogan from the UK, who took nearly 6 hours to complete the 208 km test with its 3,680 metres of altitude. On finishing he praised the top notch organization, spectacular route, as well as the great road safety. In the female category, Els Maes, gained first position.
Mojácar holds its third Floral Indalo Weekend.

Anti-Aum law searches begin
Asahi Shimbun, February 4, 2000
February 4, 2000 The Public Security Investigation Agency and police today conducted their first inspections of Aum Shinrikyo facilities under a new law aimed at controlling the cult's activities.
More than 200 officials were involved in the inspections. The agency on Thursday presented its inspection plans to the Public Security Examination Commission, which on Monday granted the agency permission to put the cult under surveillance in accordance with the anti-Aum law, enacted in December. The five Aum facilities that were searched have been the scene of protests from neighboring residents, according to the agency.
The facilities are located in Otawara, Tochigi Prefecture; Koshigaya, Saitama Prefecture; Sanwa, Ibaraki Prefecture; Minokamo, Gifu Prefecture; and Kosei, Shiga Prefecture.
Agency officials said they will inspect other facilities across the country to uncover more details of the cult's activities.
Agency officials and police officers entered the cult facilities after showing identification and obtaining Aum's consent to the searches, which were conducted voluntarily and did not involve a search warrant. During the inspections, agency officials and police officers are permitted to take photographs and examine account books and other documents. But they must ask cult members for permission to open locked safes and cannot confiscate materials.
Should the cult obstruct the inspections by refusing to open locked safes, for example, the agency chief can instruct the commission to apply the law's more serious provisions, including a ban on the use of Aum facilities by cult members.
At an apartment and warehouse where the cult operates a food sales company in Minokamo, more than 10 agency officials and police investigators started their inspection shortly after 8 a.m. today. After one agency official asked over a building intercom for permission to enter, the woman at the other end told him to wait for her to finish talking on the telephone. About four minutes later, the door was opened and inspectors entered the building.
A 66-year-old man living in the neighborhood said he hoped authorities would find out what is going on inside the cult building, and that he wanted Aum to leave as soon as possible.
According to the agency, the cult-which now calls itself Aleph-currently has 26 facilities nationwide. Before December, when Aum closed down or sold some of them, it had 33.
Authorities plan several rounds of inspections at 12 more facilities where local residents have protested Aum's presence, officials said. The commission gave the agency and police a three-year mandate to keep the cult under surveillance.
The cult is required during that period to report the names and addresses of its members and the details of its assets every three months.
