Thanksgiving will be smaller this year — and that means smaller turkeys
As families scale down their holiday plans, grocers and supermarkets plan to offer more options.
Though expecting smaller feasts — and a spike in demand for smaller birds — large turkeys aren't exactly going extinct when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner planning.TODAY Illustration / Getty Images

As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, Thanksgiving will likely be different this year — as in a lot smaller. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) categorizes large indoor gatherings as high-risk activities, so we'll see more families making this traditionally travel-heavy holiday an intimate affair, and plenty of rookie cooks making their first Thanksgiving dinner on their own.
What does all this mean for shoppers? Well, for one, it means more small turkeys in stores.
The average size of a turkey used for a Thanksgiving dinner in years past is 16 pounds. This year, supermarkets like Stew Leonard's, a family-run supermarket chain that has seven stores in the Northeast, are bumping up orders of turkeys under that weight — and decreasing orders of birds beyond it.
Small turkeys are in big demand as Thanksgiving gets scaled back
"We're looking to decrease the number of turkeys over 16 pounds and stock 20% more turkeys under 16 pounds this year," said Stew Leonard Jr., President and CEO of Stew Leonard's.
Leonard's decision is informed by conversations with colleagues, customers and direct feedback from consumers. Upon polling customers and asking whether their Thanksgiving dinner would be bigger, the same, or smaller — nine out of 10 survey respondents said "smaller".
FoodIs it safe to deliver food to family on Thanksgiving?
Grocers are upping orders of smaller turkeys by 20%
Leonard is also bumping up orders of plain turkey breasts in anticipation of a surge in consumer demand in that department.
"We think people will buy a smaller turkey and a turkey breast to supplement the gap a bit," he said. "We've found turkey breast to be popular because people are pursuing healthier lifestyles. They want to eat more of the white meat and less dark."
Ehran Ostrreicher, owner of Homestead Meats, a butcher shop in Evanston, Illinois, is also planning for an increased demand in smaller birds and cuts, similar to what he saw over Rosh Hashanah and Easter.
"For Rosh Hashanah this year, we got a bunch of orders for small briskets, like three to four pounds instead of the bigger orders we usually see, which are around seven to eight pounds," Ostrreicher said. "I'm assuming it will be the same for turkeys, as well as for turkey breasts, legs and thighs. Easter was also more small orders and fewer large orders."Consumers can also buy smaller turkeys, like heritage breeds, directly from farmers.
75% of shoppers will buy the same size turkey they did last year
Though we're expecting smaller feasts — and a spike in demand for smaller birds — large turkeys aren't exactly going extinct when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner planning.
"Our research indicates about 25% of people will be looking for a smaller turkey; but interestingly, 75% of people indicated they will purchase the same size turkey or a larger turkey than last year," said Rebecca Welch, senior brand manager, seasonal business at Butterball.
The National Turkey Federation (NTF) is also seeing history repeat itself in terms of the demand for large birds.
"Some may opt for a slightly smaller turkey or a bone-in turkey breast this year, but we expect there will still be demand for larger whole bird turkeys, too," said Beth Breeding, vice president of communications & marketing at NTF. "Thanksgiving leftovers are one of the best parts of the meal. We've all been cooking a lot more over the past few months, and leftovers to keep or share with others are a valuable commodity."
FoodWhich grocery stores will be closed on Thanksgiving? Here's a list
Expect more ham, pork, seafood and meatless meats on shelves
Perhaps what it really comes down to, is that what consumers want this year are more choices. This Thanksgiving isn't going to be a normal one, so why stick to the normal menu? Mega-supermarket chain Kroger, for instance, is not only bringing in large and smaller turkeys for the holiday, it's diversifying its selection of meats — and non-meat — options.
"We anticipate an increase in demand for other proteins like ham, beef, pork roast and seafood as first-time holiday cooks are presented with the opportunity to create new meal traditions," a Kroger spokesperson told TODAY in an email.
Kroger's stores will also offer "a selection of plant-based proteins to meet the growing demand for vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian options," the Kroger spokesperson said. "Featured plant-based items will include meatless roasts."
FoodHow to celebrate Thanksgiving safely this year, according to health experts
Don't delay your shopping and follow the basic safety rules
Whatever you're thinking about making for Thanksgiving dinner, you should get started sooner than later on your grocery shopping.
"If you are looking for a smaller turkey we do recommend you shop early so you have the best selection," said Welch.
Remember too that some supermarkets will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, meaning that stores could be extra swamped on the days leading up to the holiday. Because of CDC guidelines around social distancing, waiting until the last minute could mean getting stuck in a long line outside of the store.
"We count the number of customers in store and keep it to less than 50% of occupancy," Leonard said. "We're going to increase signage and have more team members available to assist customers and help them get out quickly, but we're concerned about the rush in on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. That's the sticky day right now."
Martha Stewart's Thanksgiving tips for the perfect turkey
To make your life easier and help grocers run their business smoothly and safely, buy your bird early and put it in the freezer ASAP.
"At Butterball, we recommend getting your turkey in the freezer as soon as possible once you are home," said Welch. "Move it to the refrigerator to thaw and we recommend allowing one day of thawing for every 4 pounds of turkey (remember Thanksgiving doesn't count as one of those days!) to ensure it is completely thawed in time to cook on Thanksgiving Day."

Solar panels have been around for years and have become so popular in Australia that in some places it's more common to see them on residential roofs than not. If you haven't made the switch to solar power yet, here are 5 reasons why you should be investing in solar panels today.
Save money with solar panels – and lots of it!
The most obvious way investing in solar panels saves you money… is through your power bills.
With us Ozzies paying the highest electricity prices in the world, it's not a coincidence we also have the highest rate of home solar panel installation in the world too.
The beauty of home solar panels is, that from the moment you switch them on you'll start to save money.
Of course, how much you save is dependent on how much electricity you use, when you use it, and how big your solar system is.
Judging by the average Australian home, you can expect to save at least 45% of your usual power bill.
And that's without a battery backout system. If you store the electricity you generate, you can save up to 90% on your energy bills.
If you produce 50% of your energy consumption with a new solar panel system, it will pay for itself in about 4 years. After that, you're saving thousands each year on your electricity.
As more and more funds, research, and experimentation go into renewable energy, there have been dramatic developments in solar technology.
After years of gradual developments and incremental improvements, the last few years in particular have seen an explosion in solar technology progress.
Solar panels are becoming more efficient, meaning they generate more power from the sun in a shorter time. These breakthroughs have meant that solar panels have become cheaper and smaller, making them more accessible to even the most modest household income.
Recently solar batteries have made the headlines with battery backups such as the Tesla Powerwall proving that solar energy is here to stay.
These batteries allow homeowners to store the electricity they create from their solar panels, saving it to use when it's needed the most.
Recently, to encourage more people to switch to solar power, the South Australian government introduced the Home Battery Scheme.
This scheme offers up to $6,000 for homeowners investing in solar panels here in South Australia, along with battery storage. On top of that, the Clean Energy Finance Corporation is offering $100 million in low-interest loans, resulting in savings of around $7,000 – $10,000 per home.
The SA government also offer feed-in tariffs for any electricity you produce through your solar panels but don't use. In this case, the excess electricity gets sent back into the grid, and you get paid for it.
There are different types of feed-in tariffs depending on when your solar panel system was installed, with different electricity retailers offering different rates.
Traditional power sources based on fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, are dying. They are becoming more and more expensive to dig out of the ground and harness, and pretty soon, investors won't see the point in throwing away good money.
Instead, those investors will be looking towards renewable energy.
Many countries around the world are already heavily dependent on renewable energy, with G20 countries like Germany and the UK pushing ahead with their renewable energy development.
China is the world's biggest investor in renewable energy, owning five of the world's six largest solar-module manufacturing firms, spending billions in the process.
And with countries like Iceland and Costa Rica, already running on almost 100% renewable energy, it doesn't take a clairvoyant to see where the future of the world's energy is going to come from.
The climate is changing. That's a fact.
We're seeing record temperatures, massive flooding, and unseasonal weather all around the globe – and that's just this month in Australia! This year has already been confirmed as the hottest on record, breaking the previous temperature set last year.
Climate change is the biggest problem facing civilisation today, and while the world's governments try to tackle the issue with a capping of global emissions, individuals are also changing their habits to help protect the future.
The renewable energy revolution has begun, whether you realise it or not. The change to a more sustainable solution is unstoppable. Our children and grandchildren will use renewable energy, and they will honestly wonder why we took so long to make the switch. Get on board now and start investing in solar panels for your home to take advantage of the many benefits.
If you think the above 5 reasons are good enough to make the switch to solar power today, then give us a call.
We have years of experience in the installation of solar panels, both residential and commercial.
Our highly qualified and professional engineers can completely install a home solar system in a little as a day, depending on the size of your home.
If you think investing in solar panels for your home makes good sense and would like to know more, please feel free to call us on (08) 8294 0595 and speak to one of our friendly staff members.
Remember, by investing in solar panels today, you start saving money – and the planet – tomorrow.

We described a rare occurrence of unilateral undescended testis with an ipsilateral fixed matted inguinal mass in a 15 month old male with normal tumor markers. Doppler ultrasound showed calcified masses with no obvious color blood flow. We discussed considerations in the management of the case and reiterated the importance of basic thorough medical history taking and physical examination as a vital step to prevent unnecessary surgical procedures as well as arriving at a correct diagnosis.

Survey families or dataset series are data collection efforts that occurred over a period of time or in several geographic locations, using the same or very similar data collection methodology and instruments. Series may be multinational -- collected in more than one country -- or in a single country. Usually all the datasets in the series are collected with the support of the same institution or institutions, but individual surveys or datasets may have the support or assistance of additional parties. The advantage of series from a research perspective is that often data from a series are more easily comparable than data from a variety of sources.

PJSC Mechel : Mechel Supplies Rolled Steel for Moscow Metro
By: ACCESSWIRE
MOSCOW, RUSSIA / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2021 / Mechel PAO (MOEX:MTLR, NYSE:MTL), one of the leading Russian mining and metals companies, reports supplying approximately 22,000 tonnes of rails and other steel rolls for construction of Moscow Metro's Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line (Large Circle Line).
Moscow is preparing to launch simultaneously 10 stations of the Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line's western, south-western and southern parts - Terekhovo, Kuntsevskaya, Davydkovo, Aminyevskaya, Michurinsky Prospect, Prospect Vernadskogo, Novatorskaya, Vorontsovskaya, Zyuzino and Kakhovskaya. Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line is the biggest project in the history of Moscow's subway construction. It will be 70 kilometers long and link city areas, radial lines and railroads. The line will have a total of 31 stations, 19 of which will have interchanges with other subway lines, Moscow Central Ring or suburban trains.
Several Mechel Group enterprises produced the supplied steel. Most of the supplies (rails, rebar, flats and beams) came from Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant's mills. More than 7,000 tonnes of rails were used to make 28 kilometers of rail lines between the new stations. Subway constructors also received Beloretsk Metallurgical Plant's B500C rebar, hardware and mesh and Izhstal's strip. Cold-deformed rebar B500C is used to make liner plates for subway tunnels.
Once completed, Bolshaya Koltsevaya will become the world's longest subway ring line, 13 kilometers longer than the current leader - Beijing subway's second ring line.
Over the past five years, Mechel supplied approximately 35,000 tonnes of rolled steel products and 85,000 tonnes of rails for construction of Moscow Metro. The company plans to continue supplies for construction of other stations of Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line.

Q: QGIS 3.20 and WMS-T is not passing the TIME parameter I'm having trouble using QGIS version 3.20 on Mac OS with a WMS-T layer.
The WMS service is available at https://ows.dea.ga.gov.au/wms. The specific layer I'm using is the DEA Land Cover layer, named ga_ls_landcover.
I can see QGIS picks up the temporal range in the UI, and I can enable the temporal controller, but using the debugging console shows the request, like below, which does not have the TIME parameter set, which means that only one date is being displayed.
https://ows.dea.ga.gov.au/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=ga_ls_landcover&STYLES=level4&WIDTH=512&HEIGHT=512&FORMAT=image/png&CRS=EPSG:4326&DPI=72&MAP_RESOLUTION=72&FORMAT_OPTIONS=dpi:72&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&BBOX=-42.93147526198666242,147.33781129267094911,-42.89315192638898822,147.37613462826863042
What is the correct way to get QGIS to be passing the TIME parameter to the web server?
An image of the config in QGIS is shown below.

A: I tested here with QGIS master. The layer properies I used are the defaults for temporal:

After that I can see the requests set the TIME parameter correctly as I move along the time slider in the temporal controller. One thing I can see in your screenshot is that you have not set the step size in the controller widget:

With that set, you can see the subsequent requests to the service will include the time step:

A: It turns out that this is a bug, reported here.
I have tested with QGIS 3.22 and can confirm that it is fixed in this new version. The TIME parameter is passed through, and the temporal controller can be used to step through the years of the WMS service.

Annual NCDA Report
By Deneen Pennington
Seth Hayden, NCDA President 2020-2021, gave a state of the association address at the 2021 Virtual NCDA conference's Annual Membership Meeting. Dr. Hayden proclaimed that NCDA has had a wonderfully productive year as we recovered from the global pandemic. "As President of our great organization, I have been overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of hours that members of NCDA's Board of Directors, committees, councils, task forces, and commissions have devoted to making our association even better. It is with sincere gratitude to all who have contributed to NCDA's success that we share with you this Annual Membership Meeting Report ."
Active Areas of NCDA
Constituency meetings were also held during the 2021 virtual conference. Board leaders of each constituency led discussions of relevant topics to each area, presented appropriate NCDA resources, and permitted break out rooms to aid in the networking of members. An example of a resource shared is the demonstration of the new NCDA website and how the various webpages support the work of those in that constituency. Likewise, announcements of future programs, such as the Career Teaching Academy, were briefly shared.
Several committees also met virtually during the conference, such as Global Career Connections (GCC) and the Graduate Student committee. NCDA's fiscal year ends on September 30, 2021. At that time, all committees, councils, and commissions will have their annual reports posted to the Committee section of the website. Minutes of all Board of Directors Meetings are posted on the NCDA website under About NCDA for all members to review.
A new activity for NCDA was just announced. NCDA granted permission to Reboot Publisher, a Korean educational publisher, to translate and distribute the NCDA monograph "Group Career Counseling" in their country's language. They sent NCDA a few copies which appears nice, especially the clever bookmarks with sticky notes. NCDA still holds all copyrights and will receive royalties on the sales in Korea. Other NCDA publications will also be translated and all agree that it is a pleasant collaboration we have with Reboot.
Board of Directors Election
Per NCDA policy, the Nominations and Elections Committee selects up to three candidates per office to generate the slate of candidates for the Board. Often, these candidates are graduates of the NCDA Leadership Academy. The NCDA Annual Report includes bios of the candidates. The general election voting started after the close of the conference and continues through August 15th. Members are encouraged to vote – it is not only a benefit of membership but it is a professional courtesy to participate thoughtfully in the election of future NCDA leaders. Results are posted on the NCDA website by August 30th.
Future Initiatives
Before 2021 ends, NCDA hopes to share several more activities. Watch the website and ebulletins for information about the following:
an in-person gathering at the fall Career Practitioner Institute in Alexandria, VA
results of the NCDA Harris Poll on the Perceptions of Working Americans

Hari Singh Nalwa
A Painting of the Sikh Lion Hari Singh Nalwa
Hari Singh Nalwa was born into a Sikh family of the Sukerchakia Misl. The family originally came from Majitha, near Amritsar. His grandfather, Hardas Singh, had been killed fighting against Ahmad Shah Durrani in 1762. His father, Gurdial Singh, had taken part in many of the campaigns of the Sukkarchakkias Charat Singh Sukkarchakia and Mahari Singh.
Hari Singh Nalwa was the Commander-in-chief at the most turbulent North West Frontier of Ranjit Singh's kingdom. He took the frontier of the Sarkar Khalsaji to the very mouth of the Khyber Pass. For the past eight centuries, marauders, who had indulged in looting, plunder, rape, and forcible conversions to Islam had used this route into the subcontinent. In his lifetime, Hari Singh became a terror to the ferocious tribes inhabiting these regions. He successfully thwarted the last foreign invasion into the subcontinent through the Khyber Pass at Jamrud, permanently blocking this route of the invaders. Even in his death, Hari Singh Nalwa's formidable reputation ensured victory for the Sikhs against an Afghan force five times as numerous.
Hari Singh Nalwa's performance as an administrator and a military commander in the North West Frontier remains unmatched. Two centuries on, Britain, Pakistan, Russia and America have been unsuccessful in effecting law and order in this region. Hari Singh Nalwa's spectacular achievements exemplified the tradition established by Guru Gobind Singh such that he came to be hailed as the "Champion of the Khalsa".

Hari Singh was hardly 7 years of age when his father died. His mother, Dharam Kaur, had to move to her parental home to live under the care of her brothers. There Hari Singh learned Punjabi and Persian and trained in the manly arts of riding, musketry and swordsmanship. Dharam Kaur returned to Gujranwala when her son was about 13 years old.
Joining Sikh Army
In 1804, Hari Singh participated in a recruitment test for service in the Sikh army and so impressed Maharaja Ranjit Singh with his skill at various drills that he was given an appointment as a personal attendant. Not long after, in 1805, he received the commission with a command of 800 horses and foot and was given the title of 'Sardar' (Chief).
A historical text tells us that his rapid promotion from a personal attendant of the Maharaja to a command of 800 horsemen was owed to an incident in which he had cloven with sword the head of a tiger which had seized him. From that day he came to be known as "Baaghmaar" (meaning - the tiger killer), and earned the title of "Nalwa" (one with claws, like that of a tiger). Another historical text describes his incident with the tiger differently, telling us that he was already a Sardar when the word "Nalwa" was added to his name after he, "had killed a tiger single-handed on horseback, with the sacrifice, however, of his horse." (Prinsep, 1834: 99)
Hari Singh went on to participate in many glorious victories of the Sikhs before becoming the Commander-in-Chief of the army along the North Western Frontier of the Sikh Kingdom. He was appointed Governor of various provinces and was one of the wealthiest jagirdars of the Kingdom.
The Sword of Hari Singh Nalwa - kept at the Sikh Regimental centre Ramgarh
Hari Singh was commander of a regiment at the time of the Maharaja's final attack on Kasur in 1807 and gave evidence of his prowess on the field of battle. He was rewarded with a handsome "jagir".
During the later years, he participated in the Sialkot, Sahival and Khushab expeditions and in four of Ranjit Singh's seven campaigns against Multan during 1810, 1816, 1817 and then in 1818. He fought in the battle of Attock in 1813 as second-in-command to Diwan Mohkam Chand, and in Kashmir in 1814 and 1819.
Kashmir was occupied and, in 1820, Hari Singh was appointed its governor in succession to Diwan Moti Ram. He restored order in the turbulent areas, and reorganized civil administration. The territory was divided into parganahs, each under a collector. The habitual criminals were bound down and robbers infesting the forests were suppressed. Construction of forts at Uri and Muzaffarabad and gurudwaras at Matan and Baramula was undertaken and work was started on laying out a spacious garden on the bank of the River Jhelum.
To alleviate the misery of the people in the wake of the unprecedented floods of 1821, he took measures to provide prompt relief. From Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Hari Singh received a special favor when he was allowed to strike a coin in his own name. This coin, known as the Hari Singhi rupee, remained in circulation in the valley till the closing years of the nineteenth century.
In 1822, he was assigned to the Pathan territory of Hazara on the northwest of the Sikh kingdom, where he remained for fifteen years and settled the disturbed area. He built a strong fort near Salik Serai, on the left bank of the Dor river, and on the road from Hasan Abdal to Abbotabad and named it Harikishangarh, in honour of the Eighth Guru. He also raised a town in the vicinity of the fort, Haripur, which later grew into a busy commercial and trade centre.
From 1827 to 1831, he was engaged in repelling Sayyid Ahmad Barelavi's fierce campaign against the Sikhs.
In 1834, Hari Singh finally took Peshawar and annexed it to the Sikh dominions. Two years later, he built a fort at Jamrud at the mouth of the Khyber Pass and scaled it once for all for invaders from the northwest.
On 30 April 1837, as he was locked in a grave battle against the Afghans under Akbar Khan, Hari Singh received four gun wounds, and two sabre cuts across his breast. He continued to issue orders as before, until he received a gunshot wound in the side. He mustered his failing strength for the last time and managed to ride up to his field tent, from where he was taken to the fort. Here the same evening the great general passed away. His last instructions were that his death should not be made public until the arrival of the Maharaja's relief column.

Governor of Kashmir
Governor of Kashmir(1820-21)
Hari Singh Nalwa was appointed the first Khalsa Governor of Kashmir in 1820. He governed the province for a little over a year when the pull of the Sikh Forward Policy compelled his recall from the province.
Hari Singh Nalwa was remembered in Kashmir for something he least expected. The currency minted while he was the governor had been the subject matter of much speculation (Surinder Singh 2001: 81-8). Following his departure from this subah, all the coins minted under the Sikhs in this province were called the 'Hari Singhee'. Thereafter, no matter who was the governor all coins minted in Kashmir continued to be called the 'Hari Singhee' even following Hari Singh's death
Muslim and British historians criticised Hari Singh's tenure as the Governor of Kashmir. Archival records, however, show that their assessment was based on an incomplete understanding of the situation.
Governor Greater Hazara
Jagirdar-Governor Greater Hazara (1822-37) The possibility of consolidating the North West Frontier of the Indian sub-continent into a province was presented by the relentless efforts of Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa. What he achieved in this region in a span of 15 years with limited resources and in the midst of a turbulent population, was nothing short of a miracle. Hazara, the crown of the Sindh Sagar Doab, was the most significant of all the territories under his governance. His proceedings in this area present the finest example of his skill as a military commander and as an administrator. The compiler of the Hazara Gazetteer acknowledged that Hari Singh Nalwa left his mark upon this district, which at that time only a strong hand like his could effectively control. "Of unbounded energy and courage, he was ruthless towards those who opposed his path. The town of Haripur fittingly perpetuates his name and the fort of Harkishangarh forms an enduring monument of his power." (Hazara 1907: 130)
Viceroy & Governor
Viceroy on the Western Frontier' (1822-31) & Governor of Peshawar (1834-37)
In the early years, Ranjit Singh requisitioned all his fighting men when he proposed a conquest. In the later years, apart from the garrison manning the forts, the Kampu-i-mu'alla or the State troops continued to be stationed in Lahore under the Maharaja's command. The Kampu-i-mu'alla was dispatched as reinforcement when requested for by Hari Singh Nalwa. More often than not, however, the fate of the battle had been decided before these could arrive. Hari Singh Nalwa and his Jagirdari Fauj, together with the two battalions of the Fauj-i-Khas raised by him, were largely responsible for guarding the western frontier of the kingdom. In case of an invasion from the west, the British saw the Sikhs as their Forward Post. The Sikhs, in turn, saw territory under Hari Singh Nalwa's jurisdiction and command as the farthest extent of the Sikh Kingdom.

Mission to Simla (1831)
In 1831, Hari Singh was deputed to head a diplomatic mission to Lord William Bentinck, Governor-General of British India. The Ropar Meeting between Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the head of British India followed soon thereafter. The British desired to persuade Ranjit Singh to open the Indus for trade. Hari Singh Nalwa expressed strong reservations against any such move. The most compelling reason for the Sardar's scepticism was the scenario visible across the Satluj — namely, the proceedings in British Hindustan. As a "wide awake" military man and an efficient administrator, Hari Singh Nalwa clearly understood both the military and trade designs of the British.
Dost Mohammad Khan did not rest contented and after mobilizing all his resources dispatched his son Akbar in A.D. 1837 to recover Peshawar which he did. Resultantly, Sardar Hari Singh Nalua was sent at the head of Lahore troops to face Afghans. He got his forces to Peshawar. Jamrud turned out to be the field of battle this time where a formidable battle was fought. Sardar Hari Singh Nalua had earlier build a fort on the entrance of Khyber pass called fort of Jamrud, this fort was being commanded by Sardar Mahan Singh Mirpura. For want of man and war material Nalua strove extraordinary hard, inspite of this he did not loose his heart. Urgent messages were sent to Lahore and Peshawar for materials. For want of timely help the Sardar was of course, killed but the Afghans could not dislodge the 500 Punjabi troops from the fort of Jamrud. General Hari Singh Nalua give his last command to his men to not to disclose his death and continue giving enemy a good fight.
Sir Lepel Griffin, gives a detailed and comprehensive account of Sardar Nalua's campaign of Jamrud. He points out that Sardar was directed to build a fort at Jamrud situated at the entrance of Khber pass from the walls of which Maharaja might glance Jalalabad in Afghanistan. Sardar got built a small port which was quite impregnable to the artillery fire and could hold on for several weeks of pounding. The Dost Mohammad Khan, with 7,000 horse, 2000 matchlock men and 18 guns. His three sons with their forces and a force of 12,000 to 15,000 of Khaibiris joined the main force and started pounding the fort. Mahan singh Mirpura requested help from Peshwar where Hari singh Nalua was ailing with fever. Hari immediately sent some horsemen to Lahore for more reinforcement and he along with his soldiers went to Jamrud. Reinforcement under Hari Singh Nalua give a new life to the garrison and attack of Afghanis was repulsed with vigour. Grifin further states that when Hari Singh Nalua along with about five of his companion went outside of the fort to inspect a breach in a wall, he was struck by two balls, one in the side and the other in stomach. Inspite of them understanding that he was mortally injured, the Nalua sardar managed to ride as far as his camp lest the troops be discouraged. Then laying on floor he gives his last order to his few trusted men, that was to not to disclose the secret of his death. Hari Singh further imparted instructions to his soldiers to cover his dead body after lifting it from the ground and placing it on a cot. Thus the great Sardar Hari Singh Nalua, with the terror of whose name Afghan mothers used to quiten their fretful children attained his martyrdom.
Some of the more famous towns, gardens, fort and shrine associated with Hari Singh Nalwa include —
The 'new' town of Gujranwala (Punjab, Pakistan) Haripur (Hazara, North West Frontier Province, Pakistan) was a planned town built by Hari Singh Nalwa in 1822-23, in the North West Frontier tribal belt.
Peshawar (North West Frontier Province, Pakistan) Hari Singh built the fort that dominates the city of Peshawar in the twenty-first century. He called his fort 'Sumergarh', however, this fort is today more popularly known as the 'Bala Hissar'.
Katas (Salt Range, Pakistan) Hari Singh Nalwa built two enormous havelis on the pool side at this famous place of pilgrimage.

"…builder of the Sikh Empire", A.S. Sandhu in General Hari Singh Nalwa 1791-1837, 1935
(Sikh historian)
On being asked about the Sikh Kingdom, Mohan Lal informed Abbas Mirza— the Persian Qajar crown prince and military commander during wars with Russia and the Ottoman Empire:
"…if Sardar Hari Singh were to cross the Indus, his highness would soon be glad to make good his retreat to his original government in Tabriz." (Mohan Lal Kashmiri in Travels in the Panjab, Afghanistan, and Turkistan, etc., 1846(In service of the East India Company))
"The noblest and the most gallant of the Sikh generals of his time, the very embodiment of honour, chivalry, and courage…" (K.M. Panikkar in The Founding of the Kashmir State, 1930
(Historian, Author, Diplomat and Editor Hindustan Times in 1925) )
Hari Singh Nalwa Portrait
Only Sikhs have emerged victorious in Afghanistan, courtesy Hari Singh Nalwa 23rd June, 2009
Chandigarh, Punjab: In the two and a half centuries that Afghanistan has existed as a nation, three super powers — the US, Russia and Britain have attempted to subdue the Afghans with little or absolutely no success. The Sikhs won the only real victories against them. Hari Singh Nalwas success has remained unmatched.
This was stated by Dr Vanit Nalwa, psychologist-turned-historian based in Delhi and a seventh generation descendant of the Sikh folk hero. Dr Vanit Nalwa delivered the talk Hari Singh Nalwa The Forgotten General here today. The talk organized by Kadam a forum for social justice saw participation from all walks of life.
Delivering the talk, Dr Vanit Nalwa, stated that Hari Singh was called Nalwa after he killed a tiger with a dagger. He joined the army of Maharaja Ranjit Singh as a lad, participated in the battle of Kasur and rose to become the Governor of Kashmir in 1820 and the Viceroy on the Western Front (1822-31). In 1834 Nalwa became the Governor of Peshawar.
Hari Singh Nalwa effectively reversed the entire cource of history of Afghan Sikh relations. Afghans, who had been invading, looting and plundering the territory saw for the first time a reversal when Hari Singh established the Sikh kingdom in their domain. He effectively stopped the invasions forever.
While the Maharaja was busy with preparations for the marriage of his son, Nau Nihal Singh, Hari Singh Nalwa was guarding the North-West Frontier. He had a handful of forces with him when the entire Afghan army attacked them at Jamrud.
Nalwa was fatally wounded in the battle but his death was kept a secret till the arrival of reinforcements. The fear of his presence kept the Afghan army at bay for almost ten days. The delay in sending reinforcements is attributed to a conspiracy in the Court of Lahore about who would succeed an ailing Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
As a distinguished warrior, Nalwa commanded the respect of even his enemies, the Pathans. Ballads were composed in celebration of his bravery.
Nalwa also had a highly developed aesthetic sense. He built gardens in Srinagar and Amritsar. A town, Haripur (near Hazara, now in Pakistan), was planned and built by him. The various temples, gurdwaras and mosques he built bear testimony to his secular outlook.
He had four sons and he did not try to promote any of them at the court of Lahore. When he died, very little money was found in his toshakhana. It is said he gave most of his wealth in charity.
About the speaker: Dr Vanit Nalwa, a Ph.D. in neuropsychology from Delhi University, did post-doctoral research in Oxford University and won a Fulbright scholarship to train at the National Institute of Mental Health in Maryland, US. She is not a historian by training. She taught at a Delhi University college for about a decade and then left the job to practise as a therapist for the corporate sector.

Routly's Grocery Store
By the 1890s, the Mom & Pop style grocery and dry goods stores had taken hold in Peterborough. In 1899 there were almost eighty such stores located about town. They continued to flourish up until the 1920s. Thereafter the demographics begin to change. For a time, some of the established store owners began opening second and third small grocery stores, but by the early 1930s, all corner stores were down in numbers, there being some seventy plus shops still in existence. By 1949, roughly only sixty such stores in town. The presence of the corner store continued to decline until, in the 1960s, it can clearly be seen that the larger, chain style grocery stores had taken over the business.
W. Routly Store in Brooklin, Ontario
Among the twenty five grocers listed in town in 1962 were A & P stores, Loblaw's Groceterias and Steinbergs Limited. Locally, Farmboy and Brookside Markets also had a significant customer attraction.
Mom & Pop style grocery stores continued to fade from the local scene. Gradually, by the 1980s they had nearly all faded away to be replaced by variety and convenience stores.
Origins in Devonshire, England
The Routly Grocery Store family of Peterborough, leads back through the village of Brooklin, Ontario and on to Devonshire, England. Thomas Routly, was born in Devonshire in January 1819. He married Sarah Manning who also had been born in Devonshire. Sarah and Thomas had a family of at least seven children, all born in England. The youngest, James, born in 1858, was barely a toddler when the family immigrated to Canada West.

In Whitby Township, Canada West, Thomas and Sarah farmed, assisted by their sons, John born 1846; Thomas born 1 October 1848; William born 1852 and James born in 1858. Their daughters, Mary born 1843; Sarah Jane born 1851 and Mariam born 1856, also did their part to assist in running the household. As well to them, befell the lighter farm chores.
Thomas Routly Jr., the second born son, married at Brooklin on 15 March 1873. His bride was Eliza Bond, a daughter of William Bond and his wife, the former Catherine Heard. Eliza was born 9 July 1854 in Bradworthy, Devonshire, England and had come to Canada West in 1862, when she was seven years old. Now Thomas and his young wife, settled onto their own farm in Whitby Township to raise a family of five sons and one daughter. Their sons were, William James, born 9 August 1873, Walton, born 20 February 1875,
Nelson, born 15 August 1876, Robert, born 19 December 1878 and Norman Thomas, born 22 October 1895. Their only daughter, Jessie, was born 30 March 1887.
Other Family Connections in Canada West
It is interesting to note that Eliza's older sister, Charlotte Bond, married Joseph Braund. Also immigrants to Canada West, they settled in the Whitby Township area. At a distant future time, the Braund and Routly family would be further connected, when Joseph and Charlotte's son, John Thomas Braund married Essie Lucretia Jane Law, in 1898. Essie's sister, Ida Malinda Pearl Law, married Thomas and Eliza Routlys' son, Robert. Robert Routly and John Thomas Braund were first cousins.
Nelson Routly – Brock Street Grocer
By the early 1890s, Nelson was grown to a young man. He knew that farming was not where he wanted to put his life energy and so headed off to the big town of Peterborough. In 1897, Nelson employed as a clerk, worked in the grocery store of Ralph C. Braund, located at 111 Park Street.
Two years later, in 1899, Nelson was self employed. He had his own grocery store, located at 392 Brock Street. Among those who worked for the Routly store in its first few years were Gussie Langford, Joseph Agnew, Maud Miller and Arthur Thomas.
Nelson Routly Store - 392 Brock Street, Peterborough
The year 1902 marked a significant event in the life of Nelson Routly, for that year he married Elizabeth Jane Ward. Their wedding took place on 11 June 1902 in Durham County, Ontario. Elizabeth was born in England on 7 June 1879, and was a daughter of Charles Frederick Ward and Elmina Osborne.
An Expanding Business
The Diamond Bread Company began supplying local stores in 1903. Included among the stores supplied by the bread company were those of Ralph and John Braund; J. Mendell & Carlos S. Greene of Greene Brothers Grocery stores at 352 and 354 Charlotte, and, Nelson Routly's store

Robert Routly – Baker & Shoe Store Manager
All of Nelson's brothers eventually followed him to Peterborough. Robert Routly, was the second of the boys who moved to Peterborough from the village of Brooklin, Ontario, where he had grown up. For a year, in 1901, Robert worked, as a clerk, for his brother and boarded at Nelson's house, 392 Brock Street. In 1903, Robert worked for the Canada General Electric Company. Then in 1904, again following in his brother's footsteps, Robert Routly started his own company. His business was a bakery located on the north east corner of Downie and Charlotte streets in Peterborough. His home was in a house at 357 King Street, a few blocks away.
A Wedding in Ashburnham Village
That same year, Robert married Ida Malinda Pearl Law, on 30 March 1904, at Peterborough. Ida was a daughter of David Law and his wife, Elizabeth Ann Sigsworth, a family who had settled in Ashburnham as early as 1871.
Robert continued running his bakery for the next four years. Arthur Thomas, Douglas Baptie and Gilbert Harris were among the original employees who worked at Robert's Bakery. In 1908, Robert employed Wesley Boorman and Noble White as bakers in his shop. The following year saw a major change in Robert's life. He gave up the bakery business. His new position was manager of the City Footwear Company at 350 Charlotte Street. He remained with the store for the next nine years.
Three children were born to Robert and Ida. Their first was a son, Robert Gerald, born in 1909.
City Footwear Company Ad
Another son, Ronald Frank was born in 1913 and a daughter, Doris Marie Routly was born in 1918.
Robert continued as the manager of the City Shoe Shop until his death occurred unexpectedly, in 1918. Robert's wife, Ida Malinda Pearl (Law) Routly, died on 9 August 1964. They are both interred in Little Lake Cemetery, Peterborough.
Walton Routly – Lake Street Grocer
Walton Routly, another of the brothers, arrived in Peterborough by 1901. He worked at first, as a clerk for John Thomas Braund's grocery store. In 1903, Walton was employed with the Canada General Electric Company and had his home at 280 McDonnell Street. From 1904 through 1906 he again worked for John T. Braund. Then in 1907, Walton began working for his older brother, William James, who had a store at 168 Charlotte Street. Walton moved often, not staying much longer than one year at any of the places where he resided. He variously made his home on Smith Street, Edinburgh, Paterson, Dalhousie and Bethune streets during the years he clerked in his brother's store.
In 1915, Walton opened his own grocery store at 226 Lake Street, in the south end of town. For the next five years, he ran this corner store, before permanently closing in 1920. In 1921, it was the private home of Harry Corrin who worked for Perkins Insurance Company.

Moving On From Peterborough
In 1921, Walton lived at 6 Aylmer Street, which was actually the rear half of the same house from which he had run the store. The back portion of the house had an entrance facing onto Aylmer Street. Walton lived here until 1924, during these years, working once again for his brother, Nelson Routly.
During his last couple of years in Peterborough, Walton's home was at 369 Edinburgh Street. A two story brick home, situated at the closed off end of Edinburgh, it afforded residents a quiet residential part of town in which to reside, in spite of running parallel to the heavier traveled Parkhill Road.
On 23 September 1902, Walton had married Gertrude Jobe. By 1925, they had a large family of eight children. Clayton was born in 1904 and followed in 1905 by Helen Viola. Another two daughters followed, Marion Jean in 1907 and Gwenyth May in 1909. Roy was born in 1913, Nelda in 1915, Reginald in 1916 and Norman in 1918. The two story home on Edinburgh was put to good use and, no doubt, was a busy household all through their years of raising a family. Walter, his wife and children moved to the United States in 1927.
William James Routly – Charlotte Street Grocer
William, the eldest of the children of Thomas and Eliza (Bond) Routly of Whitby Township, was the next son to leave home. He came to Peterborough in 1904. For a couple of years he took employment with the Peterboro Cordate & Manufacturing Company and during this time boarded at his brother, Nelson's place, 392 Brock Street.
Three years later, in 1907, William opened his own grocery store at 168 Charlotte Street. He fashioned his store with a focus on groceries, fruits and confections. Within a couple of years, he obtained an apartment in the same building as the shop.
At current day, the pub, McThirsty's Pint has the address at 166 Charlotte Street, which takes in the original 166-168 location of William's shop.
Source: 166 Charlotte Street, from Google Maps, street view for May 2015
Married Life and Family Years
On 22 March 1910, William married Mabel May Brandon, daughter of Henry and Mary (Irvine) Brandon. The wedding took place in the village of Cannington, Ontario. A daughter Evelyn Marie was born to them in 1911, a son, Carlos, in 1913 and another daughter, Dorothy May, was born in 1914.
William and Mable's home remained at 168 ½ Charlotte Street until 1924. That year, William retired from the grocery business at the age of 51 years. For the next seven years, he was the caretaker for Charlbond Apartments, located on the north side of the road at 190 Charlotte Street. He and Mable had their own apartment in the building.
William James Routly died on 5 January 1931, at his home in Peterborough. His wife, Mabel May (Brandon) Routly, died on 8 March 1950. They are buried in Little Lake Cemetery, Peterborough. Of their children, Evelyn Marie married George A. Cunningham. George died in July 1990 and Evelyn in September 2000.
Dorothy May, married George Henry Head. Carlos worked for the General Electric Company in town in the early 1930s but then moved away from the area.
Norman Thomas Routly – successor to Nelson
Norman Thomas was the youngest of the sons of Thomas and Eliza (Bond) Routly, of Whitby Township. Born in Brooklin, Ontario in 1895, he was still living at home when the census of 1911 was completed. The following year, he lived in Peterborough and worked as a clerk in his brother Nelson's store.
Five years later, in 1917, Norman T. Routly enlisted in the military to serve in WWI. He would be away from Peterborough until 1922. That year, when Norman returned, he began working again for his brother, now as a salesman. Near the close of that year, Norman was married. His bride was Irene Mary Taylor, born 26 November 1895 in the village of Ashburnham. Her parents were John and Laura Anne (Stott) Taylor.
The Family Grocer Business
Norman settled into steady work at the Brock Street grocery store. He was employed as a clerk in the store for the next ten years. Around 1931, Norman began running the store, alongside his brother Nelson. From 1932 until 1952, the store was operated by Norman while his brother, Nelson, began taking on the less stressful role of being a clerk.
In 1934, Norman and Irene moved to their own house at 593 Walnut Street. A large two story red brick home on the corner of Monaghan Road and Walnut Street, their family had room to live comfortably in this large house. It is believed the children born to Norman and Irene were Lloyd Elwood, Norma J., and E. Wayne.
Lloyd served in the Air Force during WWII. In 1946, he began working as a clerk at the Brock Street, Routly Grocery store. That same year, 1946, he married Barbara Frances Bothwell and they made their home in an apartment at 709 Water Street. In 1947, he had a year's training in the position of assistant manager and then continued on for another five years as a store clerk. Barbara and Lloyd moved to a house at 583 Reid Street in 1949 and again relocated to 1515 Fairmount Blvd., in 1956. Thirteen years later they purchased another home and moved into 324 Cottonwood Drive in the city's west end.

Peterborough Examiner Obituary
Store Passes to A New Generation
By 1948, Nelson Routly had retired from the store. Norman carried on. On 15 August 1952, not yet sixty years of age, Norman Thomas Routly died. His remains were laid to rest in Little Lake Cemetery. The death of Norman was followed two short years later, by the death of Nelson Routly on 5 January 1954. He also rests in Little Lake Cemetery. Irene Mary (Taylor) Routly, wife of Norman Thomas, died 6 January 1987. Her remains were laid to rest, next to those of her husband, in Little Lake Cemetery, Peterborough.
In 1953, Lloyd Routly became the full time manager of the Routly Brock Street store. He became the proprietor some years later. The little grocery store continued under his ownership until it was closed in 1980. The building at 392 Brock Street, which housed both the store and a number of apartment units, was torn down. In its' place was built a small cinder block, one story shop that most recently has been the location of a wine making business.
With the retirement of Lloyd Routly, came the end of an era of Routly brother stores in Peterborough. It had all started in 1897 and continued for almost one hundred years.

This deal follows FireEye's $70 mil. announced acuqisition of nPulse technologies earlier this week and caps a string of at least 26 cybersecurity acquisition deals over the past year. (See table below.) Clearly it's a good time to be a cybersecurity tech start-up or well-respected small solutions supplier.


Bloomberg reports that Pimco Total Return Fund (PTTRX) has raised its stake in government-related securities to 63%. That's up from around 48% at the end of September.
It's a little confusing when the piece mentions that Pimco Total Return reduced its position in mortgage securities because the percentage mentioned as being in government-related securities certainly includes mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. I think the article must mean that the fund sold non-agency mortgages, that is mortgage securities not backed by the government.
Pimco's government-related debt category can include conventional and inflation-linked Treasuries, agency debt, interest-rate derivatives and bank debt backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., according to the Web site.
This change will set a few hearts aflutter at fixed income firms around the country. Now, what is Gross up to….?

Control Yuan steps up probe into influence cases
Staff writer, with CNA
The Control Yuan said it would step up investigations into allegations of improper influence and illegal wiretapping in the government.
Hung Te-hsuan (洪德旋), a member of the top supervisory body, who has been looking into former justice minister Tseng Yung-fu's (曾勇夫) alleged intervention in a court case, has been joined by another member, Wu Feng-shan (吳豐山), in a bid to make the probe "more comprehensive."
"We are speeding up our investigation and expect to complete it within two or three months," Wu said, adding that the Control Yuan can only "act within the law to find out the facts," as the improper influence case has become more complicated, extending even to President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九).
Tseng stepped down last month after State Prosecutor General Huang Shih-ming (黃世銘) gave a press conference disclosing the minister's alleged involvement in suppressing a court case at the behest of two senior members of the Legislature. Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平) allegedly tried to help Democratic Progressive Party caucus whip Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘) avoid further legal battles in a breach of trust case. Ker was found not guilty, but the prosecution was reportedly going to appeal for a re-trial.
Wu also said he and Hung will investigate whether justice officials were acting in accordance with the law when gathering evidence against the legislators.
As for Ma, who doubles as chairman of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), Wu said he will consider the possibility of an "inquiry" with the president over the incident. The Control Yuan's probe results will not have legal binding force because it only has "administrative investigative" power meant to reprimand malfeasance.

Africa Scotland Business Network Launches
MyPR: Africa Scotland Business Network Launches:
ASBN Founding members with guests.
An all-new business network creating cross-continental partnerships for trade and industry between Africa and Scotland has officially launched – the Africa Scotland Business Network (ASBN). ASBN is already supported by businesses and authorities alike both locally and abroad.
Founding member and entrepreneur Kaz Henderson comments, "Investment into Africa and South Africa is a hot topic at the moment. Over the past few days President Cyril Ramaphosa has addressed various international companies at the SA Investment Conference with the goal of building relationships and exploring ways to ignite growth together. There are also several industry events like AfricaCom, African Agri Investment Indaba and Africa Oil Week that aim to increase business on the continent. With such big events in the news, it's energising to collaborate with businesspeople on the ground working towards the same goals. The launch of the Africa Scotland Business Network shows a real commitment to fostering stronger relationships between African countries and Scotland, creating real opportunities for all levels of business."
The Africa Scotland Business Network (ASBN) is an independent business network based in Africa. It connects African and Scottish professionals and enterprises to increase the potential for trade and relations between the two lands, as well as to strengthen social and cultural ties. In addition, the organisation welcomes members from other countries who have a real interest in doing business with the Africa and Scotland business diasporas.
The network connects its members with relevant business contacts, new business opportunities and international resources such as industry, marketing and geographical expertise. It's founding members represent key shared economies in Africa and Scotland including agriculture, agritech, oil and gas, renewable energy, technology, international business strategy, education and more.
Working with a range of strategic partners in both regions is integral to building mutually beneficial relationships with each other. To this end ASBN works with a range of government and private sector partners such as the Scottish Africa Business Association (SABA), Scottish Business Network (SBN), Scottish Development International (SDI) and Scottish Enterprise (SE).
Speaking at the launch, Andrew Monaghan, Africa regional manager at Scottish Development International said, "We want to develop a trading relationship with Africa bigger than the one we have now. Through a progressive relationship where we both enjoy each other's people, ideas and cultures, we can ultimately build business ecosystems. SDI is doing great work connecting Scotland with the world, but there are simply too few of us… we cannot cover this vast African continent. Suffice to say our strategy centres around forming mutually beneficial relations with people and organisations that can help us, and that is why we welcome the creation of the Africa Scotland Business Network and pledge our support to achieve our common goals."
Claire Alexander, a Scottish entrepreneur living in South Africa and a founding member of ASBN says their primary objective when conceptualising the Africa Scotland Business Network was to develop a business network collective that could assist each other on the ground in Africa but also encourage African and Scottish business to take advantage of the immense opportunities in our shared economies. The venture has been developed and launched by entrepreneurs in Africa and Scotland that understand business, have international relations and showcase opportunities for businesses in Africa and Scotland. "We all experience different challenges in business. I know too well the value of a strong business network. They have been utterly intrinsic to the success of my own businesses here in Africa", she says.
At the event, Alexander said, "In Scotland we have a phrase "we're a' Jock Tamson's bairns", the modern sense meaning "we're all the same under the skin, or we are all one". In the same way Africa celebrates Ubuntu "the spirit of Africa", essentially the essence of humanity and the connectedness that exists between us. I am because we are. Now, can you imagine what we can achieve together as one dynamic network with this incredible support around us?".
Steven Craig, founding member and Africa head of Craig International Pty, remarks, "I am delighted to be part of this initiative to support collaboration between Scotland and Africa. With our business headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland, our division in Cape Town supports clients in the oil and gas industry throughout Africa. This network will enable us to make the most of the opportunities that lie ahead in the vibrant, emerging markets across Africa and strengthen ties and promote trade links between the two".
At the launch event held on the 6th of November in Cape Town, the Africa Scotland Business Network recreated a little piece of Scotland in Africa, welcoming over 150 business leaders, government and diplomats from ten different countries. The next step is to host the first member event in Africa and, excitingly, to take a little piece of Africa to Scotland in early 2020 to promote the incredible opportunities that lie in Africa for Scottish investors.

Implement Bicycle Improvements
An additional 30 miles of new bike lanes
Complete resurfacing of existing and new bike lanes
Approximately 25 miles of new bicycle paths
Annual educational and promotional costs of approximately $1 million
Approximately 50 miles of traffic-calmed streets
Bicycle trips will increase from 2 percent of all trips to 9 percent of all trips.
Phase 2 bicycle network improvements are more expensive than Phase 1 improvements, but have about the same cost per ton. Bicycle network improvements should be justified not on the basis of emissions reductions, but rather on how they improve urban livability and make low-traffic, high-density development possible.
The 2008 San Francisco Bicycle Plan Update, currently in environmental review and expected to be approved in the summer of 2009, provides an outline for the next phase in bicycle improvements for the city, proposing about 34 miles of new bike lanes. This is estimated to increase the rate of bicycling by about 50 percent, or from about 2 percent to 3 percent of all trips. The original Bicycle Plan's stated goal, however, is for 10 percent of all trips to be made by bicycle. This would be nearly the proportion of trips made in Portland, Ore, somewhat less than in Davis, and about one fourth less the proportion of trips made in the most bicycle-friendly cities in Europe, such as Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Groenigen and Freiburg.
Achieving this mode share as proposed in Phase 2 will have significantly more cost than is proposed by the 2008 Bicycle Plan and have significantly more carbon emissions reduction benefits than can be achieved by this plan. Phase 2 includes more costly measures excluded in Phase 1, such as about 25 miles of new and improved separated bicycle paths, including expensive reconfiguration of Market Street and the Embarcadero; new bridges where appropriate, such as the proposed bicycle bridge over Seventh Street that is part of the Mission Creek Bicycle Path proposal; and traffic calming on low-volume residential streets. The goal is to create a contiguous network that is safe for users of all abilities and ages, from young children to senior citizens.
The estimated capital cost of the improvements named in the bike plan is $171 million and the incremental operating cost is about $30 million. Financed at 5 percent over 30 years, these projects will cost $13.1 million per year.
If we assume that an investment of this level will increase the amount of bicycling to 9 percent of all trips, it will lead to an additional 127 million new bike trips per year. If we further assume that bike trips will shift away from other modes in proportion to each other mode's current share of all internal San Francisco trips, then about 31 percent of all new bicycle trips will replace driver trips. At the average internal trip length of 3.3 miles, the investments will save 133 million vehicle miles traveled per year, or 47,460 metric tons of CO2. The cost per ton of CO2 emissions abatement would be $276.


The Frustrated Teacher: TFA Teachers Not "Highly Qualified"
A federal court has struck down a regulation that allows Teach for America teachers and others working towards alternative certification to count as "highly qualified" teachers under NCLB. Joshua Dunn and Martha Derthick wrote about the case in the Summer 2008 issue of Ed Next. "When a law and social realities are seriously at odds, as in this case, administrators must employ flexibility and ingenuity to make the law 'work,' or appear to," they wrote.

Q: PDO Find a needle in a haystack SQL statement I am using PDO, and am thrown an error when using the following code:
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT username FROM users WHERE
                                WHERE INSTR(`games`, '{$gameid}') > 0
                                ");
$gameid = $gamedata['id'];
$stmt->execute(array(
                                ':gameid'=>$gameid
                                ));
$players = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

Through looking at past answers this is supposed to work, however I am met with the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax
error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE
INSTR(`games`, 'crysis') > 0' at line 2' in C:\xampp\htdocs\gs\gamepage.php:19 Stack
trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\gs\gamepage.php(19): PDOStatement->execute(Array) #1 {main}
thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\gs\gamepage.php on line 19

It also appears it's grabbing 'games' as a literal and not the column
What am I doing wrong?

A: You have a double WHERE:
SELECT username FROM users WHERE
                            WHERE

You're also doing some funny things with $gameid, namely setting the variable after substitution, and binding an unused :gameid parameter. You also have a SQL injection vulnerability and should really use a parameter to pass $gameid instead of creating dynamic SQL.

A: You have the word games encased in "back quotes" and not "single quotes" like the {$gameid} variable is using.  They are probably making the db engine assume it is a column name instead of text.

A: $stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT `username` FROM `users`
        WHERE INSTR(`games`, :gameid) > 0;');

And you should use $stmt->bindValue() or $stmt->bindParameter() before executing the query.
This won't work if gameid is an ... INTEGER ! ? ! ?

Q: Can I Use MySQLi and PHP5 Syntax Within CodeIgniter? Im starting a new web project, and I figured I'd try using a framework. I know CodeIgniter is coded in PHP4, but will I be able to use the MySQLi functions of MySQL, as well as PHP5 syntax (when it comes to OO especially) while coding with CodeIgniter? Should I use Kohana instead?

A: Yes. You can use whatever features in the version of PHP that you are running. Codeigniter runs fine on PHP5.
Also, Codeigniter includes a database driver for mysqli which can be set in system/application/config/database.php as:
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = "mysqli";

Home Business Government Launches $60 Million Project to Help Small Farmers
Government Launches $60 Million Project to Help Small Farmers
Hang Sokunthea
The government yesterday launched the first phase of a project to help 15,000 farming families commercialize their operations and bring their produce—rice, cassava, chickens and silk—to market.
"The supply and demand in the country is not balanced—like with vegetables, so there are imports to fill the demand," Commerce Minister Pan Sorasak said at the event yesterday at the Commerce Ministry in Phnom Penh. "We need to understand and organize a system to boost the harvests of these crops."
The project, Accelerating Inclusive Markets for Smallholders, has two components: building infrastructure to help farmers, and offering special microfinance deals, including longer terms and 20 percent government subsidies.
Meng Sakphuseth, country program officer of the International Fund for Agricultural Development—which is loaning $36 million for the project—said a conservative estimate for the project's value was $62 million, possibly rising as high as $80 million.
The government is contributing about $8 million, with $16 million more coming from the private sector. Three microfinance institutions—Prasak, Amret and LOLC—are also set to participate. The Commerce Ministry says the project, which it will implement with the Finance Ministry, will run for six years until 2023.
Market access has been a hot topic in the sector, with several local NGOs working on ways to get local produce to market, and government officials pushing to have Cambodian vegetables made available at tourist destinations.
Chou Ngeth, senior consultant at Emerging Market Consulting, said the issue was a vital one for Cambodia's agricultural sector, but the new project could struggle to be sustainable unless it became a permanent part of the government's work.
"There is little to no market information for agriculture products at the moment," Mr. Ngeth said. "There are many other problems, including production techniques and farmers' commitment to business."
"The government needs to have a dedicated budget, resources and well-functioning institution," he said. "Otherwise, the effort will die when it runs out of funds."
Peou Rathana, researcher at the nonprofit Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security and a professor at the Netherlands' Utrecht University, said there was a lot of work to do to improve Cambodian farmers' competitiveness, especially internationally.
"Cambodia mainly produces fresh products," she said. Its farmers are "not very good at processing as we don't have the capacity…. The country is looking at the bottom of the value chain. That usually is the trickiest."
Ms. Rathana stressed the importance of the industry being led by professional agricultural businesses and those that understand global food supply and demand.
"One of the problems is everyone in Cambodia produces one product in the same period, which pushes the price down so low. But they don't understand that yet," she said.
Ms. Rathana added that the new government initiative was an important step to facilitate market access for smallholder farmers and to prioritize key crops, but that its success would depend on having "strong farmers' collectives and suitable farming."
