The Kempe Family Connection
Arthur Kempe was Second Lieutenant on the Adventure during Cook's Second Voyage, promoted to First Lieutenant at the Cape of Good Hope. Samuel Kempe was a midshipman on the same ship, who died at sea before they arrived at the Cape, having contracted a fever at one of the Cape Verde Islands. The ship's records make no mention of any relationship between them.
Cliff Thornton recently sent me a transcription of their wills that prompted me to see if there was a connection between them. Samuel's will makes no mention of his family other than an uncle, "the Reverend William Bedford", though it was witnessed by Arthur Kempe and Captain Furneaux.
I think I have cracked the Kempe family history, which is outlined below. Can anyone confirm it?
Arthur Kempe married Honora Huddye and had three children (at least):
Nicholas (see below).
Charles (see below).
Arthur (who died unmarried).
1. Nicholas Kempe married Dorothy (nee Borlase)
(This Nicholas was Sheriff of Cornwall in 1761 and lived at Rosteague, Cornwall just south of Gerrans on the Roseland peninsula.)
They had a son Samuel Kempe who married Jane (nee Geak). Samuel and Jane had seven children: Samuel (who sailed on the Adventure).
Nicholas (born 1757 – another sailor - he died unmarried in Bridgend Wales in 1829).
Arthur.
John – married Elizabeth Dunbar.
Honora – married John Stevens.
William – married Sarah Lyne.
2. Charles Kempe (born 1705, died 1765) married 1728 Ann Kempe (she was a cousin, and daughter of John Kempe and Grace Trevanion)
They lived at Veryan, Cornwall. They had eight children. Hannah b1730
Mary b 1732
Ursula (1) b1733 d 1736
John b 1734 married Letitia Coryton.
Ursula (2) b 1736
Charles b 1738 married Catherine Hocking.
James b 1741 married Mary Warwick
Arthur b 1743 (sailed on the Adventure, rose to be an Admiral, died 1823) married Anne Coryton.
Nicholas b 1747.
Rosteague and Veryan are both in the county of Cornwall and are, at most, six kilometres apart.
So our Samuel Kempe and Arthur Kempe were second cousins, Samuel's father Samuel and Arthur being first cousins.

Arthur and Sara - it is really good to know that there are descendants of Arthur Kempe alive, like yourselves. Have any artefacts from the voyage survived in the family?

My direct line ancestors are 10 generations of the Kempe family, I think this is the wrong generation according to my family tree (Ann Kempe & Charles kempe) my 7th great granparents. It does get confusing however, especially when there are offspring of the same name. I have all the direct line family tree back to 1571 and much further. I will have a more in depth look at this particular part though.

Thanks for your work on Arthur Kempe, it has been a while since I visited this site as I haven't looked at this family in quite a while. Arthur was the 5th great grandfather of my children. I have been given Arthur's tree back to about 1571, you have inspired me to try and verify it some more. :)

Barnes & Noble Reports Slight Sales Increase For Second Quarter
September 1-15, 2004 Edition
Barnes & Noble Reports
Slight Sales Increase
For Second Quarter
New York, NY/08/19/04—Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS) has reported a 5 % increase in sales for the second quarter ended July 31, 2004, over the previous year.
Store sales were $961.3 million for the quarter. Second quarter comparable store sales increased 1.4%. The company opened nine new Barnes & Noble stores and closed five locations ending the quarter with 657 stores.
B. Dalton sales, which comprise approximately 4% of total bookstore sales, were $39.9 million for the quarter, a decrease of (22%) over the prior year, due primarily to store closings. The company closed five stores ending the quarter with 183 stores. Second quarter comparable store sales decreased (6.8)%.
On June 28, 2004, Barnes & Noble announced that it completed the redemption of its $300 million 5.25% convertible subordinated notes due 2009. The unamortized portion of the deferred financing fees from the issuance of the notes and redemption premium resulted in a charge of $14.6 million, or $0.12 per share, during the second quarter. Earnings for the bookstore business were $0.16 per share in the second quarter. Excluding the one-time charge, earnings for the bookstore business were $0.28 per share, versus guidance of $0.17 to $0.19 per share. Bookstore earnings were $0.19 per share in the year-ago period.
"We are pleased at having achieved positive comparable store sales growth in the second quarter given the difficult comparisons to last year's sales, which were driven by the extraordinary sales of Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix and the attendant traffic it generated," said Steve Riggio, chief executive officer of Barnes & Noble, Inc. "We attribute the buoyancy in book sales to the release of a few titles that received major media coverage, most notably President Clinton's memoir, My Life. The former president's book became the fastest selling non-fiction book in our history, with sales of over 250,000 copies."
Barnes & Noble, Inc. completed its previously announced merger of Barnes & Noble.com on May 27, 2004. Barnes & Noble.com's second quarter sales decreased 6% to $84.5 million, resulting in a net loss of ($7.6) million, or ($0.11) per share, versus guidance of ($0.09) to ($0.11) per share. In the year-ago period, net loss was ($0.12) per share on a pro-forma basis, as if Barnes & Noble.com was 100% owned in the prior year.
On August 17, 2004, GameStop, the nation's largest video-game and entertainment-software specialty retailer, reported sales of $345.6 million for the quarter, an increase of 13% over the prior year period. Second quarter comparable store sales decreased (2.4)%. The company's share of net earnings was $4.6 million, or $0.07 per share, for the quarter, versus guidance of $0.06 to $0.07 per share. The company's share of net earnings was $0.06 per share in the year-ago period. GameStop opened 77 stores and closed four, ending the quarter with 1,676 stores.
Consolidated GAAP net earnings for the second quarter was $8.9 million, or $0.12 per share, versus $13.7 million, or $0.20 per share, in the prior year. Consolidated net earnings excluding the one-time charge was $17.6 million, or $0.24 per share, versus guidance of $0.12 to $0.17 per share. In the year-ago period, consolidated net earnings was $0.13 per share on a pro-forma basis, as if Barnes & Noble.com was 100% owned in the prior year.
For the third and fourth quarters, the company expects comparable store sales at Barnes & Noble stores to increase between 1% and 2%. Full year comparable store sales are expected to increase approximately 3%.
For the third quarter, Barnes & Noble.com expects net sales to range between $85 million and $95 million, and GameStop expects comparable store sales to range from 4% to 6%.
Consolidated earnings per share guidance, excluding the debt redemption charge, for the full year is now projected to be $2.34 to $2.42, representing pro-forma growth of 23% to 27% over 2003. Previous full year earnings per share guidance was $2.19 to $2.26. The following tables present earnings per share guidance for the third quarter, fourth quarter and the full year. Earnings per share guidance for GameStop is based on the company's approximate 63% ownership interest.

It is highly likely that the stressful lifestyle of living in Singapore is one of the main factors that brought about the increase of Pet ownership amongst Singaporeans. After all, having a pet in our lives have proven to be nothing short of therapeutic and rewarding at the same time. 1 out of 3 people within your circle of friends or family probably are Pet owners!
Insurance can be a rather tricky and troublesome thing to figure out, but in a way it is a definite must for every human being, ensuring you receive monetary help in times of need. By now, Pet owners are no strangers to how costly a medical procedure can be, and like humans, pets can also contract illnesses and such as they grow older. This is why Pet Insurance has come about, all to help you tackle the unexpected accidents and monetary issues that might surface.
As concerned pet owners ourselves, we took the liberty of looking through every insurance policy available for pets in Singapore, and compiled the important information (including a chart!) that you can now browse through and decide on the best plan to consider for your Furkids! To begin, there are THREE Insurance companies that cover policies for your pets. These are PawSafe (by AIA Insurance), PetCare (by Liberty Insurance) and HappyTails (by MSIG Insurance).
1. All breeds accepted except - Mastiff, Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Pitbull Terrier, American Pitbull Terrier, Argentina Dog, Canary Dog, American Bulldog and Dogs that are crossbred with the listed breeds and/or wolves.
Some of the main exclusions in this policy includes: Pre-existing conditions, Congenital/Hereditary defects and diseases, Breeding related conditions, Skin problems, Pregnancy and Castration related issues.
Remember to review the full list of Exclusions in the policy when presented to you in print.
PawSafe has a "Free Look" period of 14 days, which means if you wish to cancel the policy, it has to be done within 14 days from commencement, with no claims made.
PetCare is an insurance policy by Liberty Insurance since February 2014, this policy has 3 plans that covers both Dogs AND Cats. The 3 plans are: Standard, Enhanced and Superior.
The image below was taken from the PetCare brochure itself, it shows the main benefits and coverage limit for cases pertaining to each claim. PetCare covers both non-surgical AND surgical procedures.
Major Exclusions are a few things that this policy does not cover, as always, be sure to go through the entire list of exclusion when they give you a printed copy of the policy!
As you can see, the amount of Deductibles are much lesser for this policy, and under "Annual Premiums" is the amount in SGD you are required to pay yearly, inclusive of GST. Naturally, the higher your premium, the higher the coverage limit.
This refers to an entitled discount percentage on the payable premiums if you have not made any claims under the policy after 1 year and above.
PetCare policy has a "Free Look" period of 14 days too, similarly, if no claims are made within 14 days from commencement of policy, you may cancel it if you wish to.
The main coverage of HappyTails policy includes the following, with different annual coverage limits according to different plans.
For Happy Tails, an amount of SGD $250 per claim is mandatory, payable by you per claim, applies for all plans.
Co-insurance rates apply for a lifetime, which is why Pet owners are encouraged to register their pets at a younger age, to enjoy the rates. This rate will be your payable share of the made claim for both Dogs AND Cats, excluding Deductible.
For example, if your Pet's age group falls in the 20% category upon applying, this percentage applies for a lifetime and does not change, even as your pet ages.
HappyTails policies do not cover pre-existing conditions, clinical examination for insurance enrolment, preventative care such as annual check-ups, vaccinations; spay/neuter procedures and teeth cleaning. Be sure to take note on the full list of exclusions when they present the policy to you!
Based on their listed coverage, they are really more on helping out with the costs incurred for necessary surgeries and post-surgical treatments due to unforeseen accidents, which can surmount to enormous sums.
The premium rates of HappyTails insurance policies may vary according to Pet's age, and conditions. You may get a quick quotation from them by answering a few questions on these forms, they end off with an estimated rate for all plans! Otherwise, you can always drop them a call at 6221 8222 for a fast quote as well. The friendly staff are more than willing to help with no obligations!
HappyTails policy has a "Free Look" period of 14 days too, similarly, if no claims are made within 14 days from commencement of policy, you may cancel it if you wish to.
Still Unsure Which To Get?
There is no doubt that things can get rather confusing when it comes to Insurance for us humans, and it is exactly the same way for our Furkids. That is why we did up a comparison chart, on all three different agencies, with all their plans and how each differs from the other in terms of coverage.
The listed benefits, information, and rates were compiled by us. This chart is meant to show you clearly what some policies may or may not offer. However, if you do eventually consider on one or two different policies, it is extremely important to go through the print contract carefully, to get the nitty-gritty of exclusions and coverage.
Frankly, there isn't an all-rounder plan out there, but you could get 2 policies of different insurance agencies if need be. Ultimately the determining factor should be what us Pawrents are more concerned about. For example, Pawrents in our team are definitely worried about complications that may arise as our pets age, so coverage benefits for Surgical bills and Post Surgery Treatment is an absolute definite! Apart from that, coverage for Accidental Injury comes in handy too, so eventually we all settled for 2 different policies per Dog.
They are family, and they deserve the same concern and protection. It's a pity there isn't any insurance for Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and other small animals don't you think?
Have YOU gotten any of these policies? Share your thoughts with us! Your voices are important to us and the Pets community, our readers are encouraged to share their Pet-related reviews of a place and its services, experiences, even lifestyle tips and tricks to better our Pets lives, on our platform, one paw at a time. Be a part of an educational and informative Pets community because at ThePetsDialogue, your voices could make a huge difference on a global scale.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.  Its as if Tomcat is not serving the request as the JSP source is showing, not a JSP rendered page.

A: Are you using Spring MVC? I suppose you are putting the JSP in some resource directory which can be accessed. Would like to see your spring configuration file and your project structure.

A: The problem was my servlet mapping of "/*".  switched to just "/" and now everything works as expected.

So if you are of American or of non-Asian descent you will probably feel out of place from time to time and won't exactly make that many close friends. The classes will be easy but be prepared to bring a laptop with you to class. Oh and the city of La Verne and surrounding areas are extremely boring if you are in your mid twenties and looking to go out once in a while you won't find much to do here. Again, the area also lacks in diversity, as you might have guessed it most people around the area are of Asian descent. Not saying that's a bad thing at all, but for someone who is not Asian and new to the area that might be a buzz kill.

Jean Shrimpton
Jean Rosemary Shrimpton is an English model and actress
Name Jean Shrimpton
Born 7 November 1942 (age 77 years)
Net Worth $1 Million - $5 Million
Education St Bernard's Grammar School and Lucie Clayton Charm Academy
Occupation Fashion Model
Residence Buckinghamshire
2.1 Early life
Jean Rosemary Shrimpton born 7 November 1942 is an English model and actress. She was an icon of Swinging London and is considered to be one of the world's first supermodels. She appeared on numerous magazine covers including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Glamour, Elle, Ladies' Home Journal, Newsweek, and Time. In 2009, Harper's Bazaar named Shrimpton one of the 26 best models of all time, and in 2012, TIME named her one of the 100 most influential fashion icons of all time. She starred alongside Paul Jones in the film Privilege (1967).
Born in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, and brought up on a farm, Shrimpton was educated at St Bernard's Convent School, Slough. She enrolled at Langham Secretarial College in London when she was 17. A chance meeting with director Cy Endfield led to an unsuccessful meeting with the producer of his film Mysterious Island (1961); Endfield then suggested she attend the Lucie Clayton Charm Academy's model course. In 1960, aged 17, she began modelling, appearing on the covers of popular magazines.
Shrimpton's career rose to prominence through her work with photographer David Bailey. They met in 1960 at a photo shoot that Shrimpton, who was then an unknown model, was working on with photographer Brian Duffy for a Kellogg's corn flakes advertisement.
Shrimpton's first photo session with Bailey was in 1960 either for Condé Nast's Brides on 7 December 1960 or for British Vogue. She started to become known in the modelling world around the time she was working with Bailey. Shrimpton has stated she owed Bailey her career, and he is often credited for discovering her and being influential in her career. In turn, she was Bailey's muse, and his photographs of her helped him rise to prominence in his early career.
During her career, Shrimpton was widely reported to be the "world's highest paid model", the "most famous model" and the "most photographed in the world". She was also described as having the "world's most beautiful face" and as "the most beautiful girl in the world". She was dubbed "The It Girl", "The Face", "The Face of the Moment", and "The Face of the '60s". Glamour named her "Model of The Year" in June 1963. She contrasted with the aristocratic-looking models of the 1950s by representing the coltish, gamine look of the youthquake movement in 1960s Swinging London, and she was reported as "the symbol of Swinging London". Breaking the popular mould of voluptuous figures with her long legs and slim figure, she was nicknamed "The Shrimp". Shrimpton was also known for her long hair with a fringe, wide doe-eyes, long wispy eyelashes, arched brows, and pouty lips.
Shrimpton also helped launch the miniskirt. In 1965, she made a two-week promotional visit to Australia, sponsored by the Victoria Racing Club, and a local synthetic fibre company who brought her out to promote a range of new dresses made of Orlon. She caused a sensation in Melbourne when she arrived for the Victoria Derby wearing a white shift dress made by Colin Rolfe which ended 5 in (13 cm) above her knees.Shrimpton was unaware she would cause such a reaction in the Melbourne community and media.
In her article "The Man in the Bill Blass Suit", Nora Ephron tells of the time when Jean Shrimpton posed for a Revlon advertisement in an antique white Chantilly lace dress by Blass. Minutes after the lipstick placard was displayed at the drugstores, the Revlon switchboard received many calls from women demanding to know where they could buy the dress.
Shrimpton was photographed in 1971 by Clive Arrowsmith, again for British Vogue.
Shrimpton and Bailey began dating soon after they began working together, and subsequently had a four-year relationship that ended in 1964. Bailey was still married to his first wife Rosemary Bramble when the affair began, but left her after nine months and later divorced her to be with Shrimpton.
Shrimpton's other most celebrated romance was with actor Terence Stamp. In 1979, she married photographer Michael Cox at the register office in Penzance, Cornwall when she was four months pregnant with their son Thaddeus, who was born that same year. They own the Abbey Hotel in Penzance, now managed by Thaddeus and his family.

Witches of East End season 2 episode 12 Box to the Future video preview
Pip Ellwood-Hughes November 3, 2014
Witches of East End's second season is almost at an end and tonight the penultimate episode airs in the UK.
Last week's episode saw Freya (Jenna Dewan Tatum), Wendy (Madchen Amick) and Joanna (Julia Ormond) travel back in time to retrieve something to help them deal with the return of the family patriarch Rey (Steven Berkoff). Ingrid (Rachel Boston) stayed behind and appealed to Dash (Eric Winter) to help her get rid of Rey for good.
Elsewhere Killian (Daniel Di Tomasso) was unaware that Freya was still alive and agreed to trade his life for her to be brought back to life. As the episode closed he had just drank a potion to make the trade happen!
We've got two clips from tonight's episode for you to give you a sneak peek. In the clips Wendy wakes up Freya to deliver some alarming news. You'll have to watch the clips to find out what it is that she says…

Sant Jaume de Sant Cristòfol  és una església del municipi de la Baronia de Rialb (Noguera) que forma part de l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.

Situació
És el centre del petit nucli deshabitat de Sant Cristòfol de la Donzell. Es troba a la part nord-oest del terme municipal, als vessants de la dreta del Rialb, al llom de la serra de Sant Cristòfol, aigües amunt del barranc de Perdiguers. S'hi va per una pista forestal d'uns 4 km, que s'inicia al km.2,2 de la carretera del Forat de Bulí.

Descripció

És un edifici de dues parts: una romànica a llevant, amb dues fornícules interiors a ponent i amb porta de connexió amb la resta. L'altra és una nau amb lesenes i arcuacions als laterals. Porta gòtica i renaixentista al centre de la façana de ponent, amb porteta romànica oberta a la seva dreta, al nord. Interior amb volta sobre impostes i dues capelles amb arc apuntat i sepulcre sobre permòdols. Capella amb frontó neoclàssic. Finestra romànica a migdia. Senzilla espadanya sense campana, perduda durant la guerra. Rectoria annexa.

Història
El cenobi de Sant Cristòfol de Salinoves, amb el Donzell, constituïa una dotació, propietat d'Elins i després dels canonges de Castellbó. Al damunt d'un penyal hi hagué l'antic monestir de Sant Cristòfol. El lloc de Salinoves el 937 fou donat pel comte Sunifred II d'Urgell al monestir de Santa Cecília d'Elins. A Sant Cristòfol el 949 se li va donar com a dotació la parròquia de Paracolls i el lloc de l'Oliva.

Capitalizing African Identity and tapping the African Diaspora for Afsol
March 16, 2015 March 16, 2015 Elshaddai.M Uncategorized
By Eyob Asfaw Gemechu*
The principle of 'African-centered Solutions' is a search for a better framework which can encompass practical positive advantages. That is to mean, the African identity along with its stakeholders, champions and sympathizers shall not be marginalized from solutions; especially the supposed primary actors such as member states of the African Union. Indeed, it is so inspiring and encouraging to have the first and the second Afsol Workshops (26 – 27 September 2014 and 6-7 March 2015) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, underscoring the identity of the 'African'. When we talk about being African, would that description be based on our history, geography and identity? 'Who is an African?' I advocate for widening the concept of the 'African' from a mere geographic inhabitant to add flexibly trans-national African identity and the African Diaspora. The very characteristic of the African identity is found in continents other than the place called 'Africa'. This was due to the trans-continental slave trade and the post-colonial migration of Africans. Ever since decolonization, globally and continentally the African identity has been inter-twinned with Pan-Africansim.
The earlier versions of pan Africanism, reverberated by Macus Garvey and Du Bois, transcend the 'geographic Africa'. The historical success of such pan-African movement that transcended the geographic Africa, worked so well, to the extent that it should be recognized as exemplary for any forthcoming African-centered agenda. Thus, the identity was not mere sympathy on biological and racial grounds, rather on sharing the multifaceted sufferings of colonialism and transatlantic slavery. Similarly, much of off-Africa countries with African descendants' are the current 'Global south'. The African Diaspora recently dispersed across the globe and the transnational African identity has to be tapped for potential contribution for the new venture for 'Afsol'.
Arguably enough, a very tight conceptual limitation of African-centered Solutions, to and by, African inhabitants and African citizenry only may end up devoid of its potential of extension to people of African descendant and the diaspora. Once again, Africans need to understand that capitalizing on people with African ancestry whose aspirations is to identify themselves with the African inhabitants, is in every way advantageous. The Afro-Canadian Anthropologist, Kamari M. Clarke (2006), argued that there is an increasing demand for African membership, as it is increasingly deterritorialized.
Thus, AU, starting from 2003, unleashed several conventions and remarkable achievements to engage the African Diasporas in the continental Affairs (ISS today, 30 May 2012). With the portrayal of the African Diaspora as the sixth region of Africa, where the continental union was functionally live also through its regional blocks in a manner different than other continental unions. To illustrate some novel experiences of AU's engagement with African Diaspora is the establishment of 'Western Hemisphere Diaspora Network (WHADN) in Washington DC in December 2002, with an interactive interface with the AU Commission, including the core activities of the commission. To the best virtue of its peculiarity, the Network had come up with the mission 'to encourage and facilitate the utilization of the collective talents and resources of the African Diaspora in the Americas and Caribbean to advance the collective interests of Africans on the continent and throughout the Diaspora. Such initiatives at the AU shall result in meaningful actions, along the possible spectrum of the traditional remittance contribution to the overall quests of the continental union.
A demonstration of the Diasporas engagement can be illustrated with their involvement in current affairs, such as Ebola or Boko Haram, in line with AU's 'call for collaboration' on those crisis with other international actors. The efforts of individual countries to engage their respective Diaspora dispersed across the globe & having little interaction with their motherland, has to be attended to by AU. Several African countries tried the scheme of engaging diasporas, albeit their current citizenship. Despite the right of individual countries to operate under their own citizenship policies, AU can craft a model African Citizenship Policy, with 'multi layered African citizenship'. This Scheme is somehow in line with the repeatedly contested 'African Union Government' and can be a setting ground for creating an enabling environment for a better 'inclusive African-centered solutions'.
A model of importing similar deterritorialized alliances that had an enduring success is not entirely peculiar for Africa, pan Arabism is an example whose members are drawn from more than one continent. The historic reasons of capitalizing on earlier dispersed African Descendants in Americas, pacific islands and recent African Diasporas is so helpful for 'African-centered solutions'. Exerting the right conceptual balance to the proposed inclusion of African identity is not without its challenges. Perhaps the benefits outweigh these potential challenges.

AfSol II: Towards a Sustainable African-Centered Approach
By Lina Benabdallah*
As AfSol continues to build on the conceptual grounds and pillars identified in the first workshop – namely ownership, shared values, and commitment – this piece takes stock of the highlights of Afsol II by synthesizing the common threads and debates addressed. It also proposes integrating evaluation mechanisms as a forward-looking step for future AfSol workshops.
The Importance of Demand-Driven Solutions
The workshop case studies once again highlighted the importance of conducting a needs analysis, learning and understanding of the conflict context, listening to the individuals/groups affected by the conflict and tailoring programs that fit the specific needs. In basic political economy terminology this approach puts premium on the demand side of the supply-demand-chain of distribution formula. That is to say, rather than focusing on supply, by applying conflict resolutions that use skills and resources already available, AfSol II experts insisted on the importance of including indigenous expertise and an understanding of the terrain before curating responses. Indeed, many interventions during the workshop have highlighted the importance of joining grass root-level work with state-level resources to maximize efficiency and insure implementation.
Replicability
Necessarily given the experts' stress on the uniqueness of each of the case studies presented during AfSol II, a recurrent question pondered the extent to which AfSol solutions can travel across cases in order to inform more standardized operating procedures. This conundrum between on the one hand advocating custom-fit, demand-driven, context-specific solutions and on the other hand the necessity to expand the scope beyond sporadic isolated case studies is one worth paying attention to. It seems a reasonable way out of the catch-22 situation is to adopt a pragmatic approach where paying attention to local contexts does not mean being closed to communicating and learning from other examples.
The evident challenge of applying solutions that worked in a specific case to other cases without serious needs-analysis and careful implementation is simply unintended consequences. These can be significantly reduced if one pays close attention to past experiences and learns from them. Indeed, the suggestion of one of the participants for IPSS to keep open channels of communication to share experiences fits very well with this piece's suggestion to start a project pooling and compiling a database of experiences, stories, and solutions to consult for brainstorming purposes prior to implementation. The database can be searchable by conflict zone or by themes so as to ensure ease of access and use.
How African are External Africa-Centered Solutions?
Another recurrent concern expressed at AfSol II revolved around the question of Africaness of Africa-centered solutions. Existential dilemmas of organizations in terms of financial dependency on external funds as well as military equipment and (wo) manpower for the realization of APSA and ASF were brought up as major challenges to the total independence of AfSol or similar endeavors. This and other elephants in the room (as highlighted by another participant) such as the question of sovereignty and interventionism were highlighted. However, it seems that in light of the previous section's argument that a way forward is to adopt a pragmatic stance with regards to funding sources so long as the principles and core values are negotiated. Whereas the financial autonomy of African solutions is extremely crucial and the ideal-type AfSol would not have to depend on external resources, the case in point is that the current realities of who is willing to fund invite for a more pragmatic approach. Making sure that contextualized and demand-driven solutions are at the core of solutions or policies is central to the Africanness of African-centered solutions.
Evaluation Mechanisms
The primary goal of this piece was to take stock of the main discussion points introduced and debated during the workshop. Yet, this is not the only goal. Indeed, missing from the conversation on how to draw lessons from the successful stories of African-centered solutions for the purpose of replicability are evaluation mechanisms. Adjacent to the suggestion earlier to establishing a Bank or a Database to keep track of projects and solutions implemented throughout the continent for the purpose of inspiring creativity for conflict resolutions, is the step to evaluate implemented projects. Indeed, how do we know that a given project resulted in a solution or in further complications? There needs to be an evaluation mechanism integrated within the mandate of any given "Prospect" solution or policy. The evaluation mechanisms, I believe, should not be started years after a certain project has been implemented but need to work hand in hand with the implementation. I find AfSol's three core pillars to be a good start for a standardized evaluation mechanism. That is to say, one can ask these questions in order to assess each solution within its unique context:
– Does this project emphasize the demand-driven needs?
– Does this project respect the shared values?
– Does this project meet the expectations set in the first two questions?
The greater advantage of keeping evaluation as an on-going process from the beginning lies in the fact that close follow-up allows for adaptation. If for instance at a given phase of implementing a solution, evaluation teams judge that one (or more) of the three core pillars is not successful, the project-leaders are incentivized to revise, adapt, and improve their prospect solutions. In sustainability literature, this is commonly referred to as "Adaptive Management". Its goal is to argue against mega-projects because their unintended consequences tend to be large scale and difficult to mitigate. From sustainable adaptive management perspective, small-scale solutions with their unanticipated consequences are manageable and fixable without extravagant costs. For this reason my primary recommendation to the AfSol team is to establish an evaluation team (or several) who will be tasked to assess and evaluate conflict resolution projects as they go (as opposed to post-facto). The evaluation teams, for the purpose of efficiency and efficacy, have to present no risk of conflict of interest with any given project. For this reason, an eclectic team of experts can be designed to evaluate different projects assigned randomly or blindly.

Sharing the concept behind AfSol Workshop series, from 6 to 7 March 2015
March 5, 2015 March 5, 2015 mercyf Uncategorized
By Sunday A. Okello (Ass. Prof.)*
African Union Heads of States and Governments adopted the Tripoli Declaration on the "Elimination of Conflicts in Africa and the Promotion of Sustainable Peace" in 2009. In the declaration, the Heads of States recognized that peace and security in Africa lacks intellectual foundation and therefore poses an "intellectual challenge". The Institute for Peace and Security Studies, IPSS, was mandated by the African Union Executive Council Decision (AU) (EX.CL/567 (XVI), and the follow-up Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two institutions, to take up the intellectual challenge of defining African-centred Solutions (AfSol) through training, research and advocacy around African peace and security issues. With the mandate from the AU, IPSS has positioned itself to provide a veritable and honest platform for the incubation and exchange of innovative ideas, and translating such ideas into concrete action.
IPSS launched the AfSol workshop series to provide the leading African institutions, especially the AU and RECs, with state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise on how to grapple with the intellectual challenges provoked by the quest for African solutions in peace and security .
Outcomes of the First AfSol Workshop
This second African-centered Solution in peace and security (AfSol) workshop follows from the expert workshop, which was held at IPSS from 26th to 27th September 2014.
From the first workshop series, a number of pertinent and foundational issues and questions were raised inter alia: Why do we need to consider and discuss AfSol in the first place? What is the genealogy of the idea of AfSol, and what are its underlying assumptions? When we talk about being African, who is an African, and would that description be based on our history, geography and identity, or what else? "who is an African" "who defines AfSol, and for whom" and "Is AfSol an ideology, a concept, philosophy, policy, or pure practice".
AfSol is understood and deployed by IPSS, emphasis is on peace and security priorities as there is a need to frame, situate and elevate the discourse on AfSol to meet pressing peace and security challenges; and by so doing mobilize appropriate and timely solutions. As such debates about AfSol during the inaugural workshop were converging around key principles of ownership, shared values and commitment and as to how these core principles help us to understand existing and emerging peace and security trends in Africa.
Objectives of the Second AfSol Workshop Series
This second workshop series represents a deliberate desire to expand and deepen debate around the above issues and concerns. Generally, the interpretation of defining and operationalizing AfSol has relevance to the ontological position of creating awareness and consciousness along the essence of Pan-Africanism. The operationalization and interpretation has to follow from this ontological position, spread through to the key principles of ownership, shared-values and commitment. Therefore, the interpretation of these three key principles is desirable- indeed, sorely needed- at this time. IPSS shall provide a veritable platform for establishing a clear linkage between theory, policy and practice. AfSol workshop series provides not only a platform to take a retrospective glance at the past but also because it seeks to mobilize a corpus of knowledge and innovative ideas capable of shaping the future.
The broad objective of the second workshop is to build upon the modest successes recorded during the inaugural workshop by moving from theory to practice.
The specific objectives, among others, are as follows:
To demonstrate the practicality of the principles of AfSol established by the inaugural workshop;
To engage all levels of African societies in the shaping of AfSol debate and operationalization so as to provide an opportune platform for a more nuanced and open discussion on AfSol;
To introduce and mainstream the philosophy and practices behind AfSol into different research, advocacy and policy sectors;
To produce a state-of-the-art book that documents the best and most innovative perspectives on AfSol.
The Second AfSol Workshop brings together a mix of experts drawn from prominent members of organized civil society groups, academia, practitioners, policy makers and other stakeholders.

Mitigating viruses in pig feed ingredients
22-07-2020 | Health/Nutrition | Nutrition | Article
Viruses could be shipped around the globe in feed ingredients. - Photo: Ruben Keestra
While the world is holding its breath every time a new virus breaks out, veterinary researchers in the US and Canada have become particularly interested in the role feed has to play. A team of leading experts dived into the question of how viruses might be shipped around the planet.
It was in 2014 that the North American veterinary community – as well as the worldwide feed and pork industries – started to realise that viruses were being transmitted in feed. Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea (PED) broke out in the United States in 2013 and, by January 2014, the disease had arrived in Canada. "We figured out quite quickly at that point that the outbreak here in Canada was linked to a certain feed ingredient, from the same feed mill, and soon thereafter a research paper was published by scientists at the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease in Winnipeg Manitoba that showed the link was possible", explains Dr Egan Brockhoff, veterinarian at Prairie Swine Health Services in Red Deer, AB, Canada and veterinary counsellor for the Canadian Pork Council. "Then African Swine Fever (ASF) came along and since then in the US, Dr Scott Dee, Dr Megan Niederwerder and Dr Cassandra Jones and others have done a lot of work to look into how viruses can tag along in feed ingredients being shipped all over the world."
What's been discovered
Among the many other studies, Dr Dee (of Pipestone Applied Research at Pipestone Veterinary Services, MN, United States) and colleagues had published an evaluation in 2018 of the survival of livestock viruses in animal feed ingredients that were, and still are, imported daily into the US.
The study involved simulated transboundary shipping conditions and 11 diseases of global significance: Foot-and-Mouth Disease, Classical Swine Fever, ASF, influenza A, pseudorabies (Aujeszky's Disease), Nipah disease, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), Swine Vesicular Disease, Vesicular Stomatitis, Porcine Circovirus 2 and Vesicular Exanthema of Swine. For six viruses, it was possible to use surrogates with similar genetic and physical properties, but for the others actual viruses had to be used.
"We found that more viruses survived in conventional soybean meal, lysine hydrochloride, choline chloride, vitamin D and pork sausage casings," says Dr Dee. "These results also supported data already published on the risk of transporting PEDv in feed."
Critical questions
By 2019, US Department of Agriculture scientist Dr Rebecca Gordon and her colleagues had published a review of studies published up to March 2018 (including the study by Dr Dee and his group) called "The Role of Non-animal Origin Feed Ingredients in Transmission of Viral Pathogens of Swine".
In their analysis, Dr Gordon and her team concluded that while some critical questions pertaining to transmission of swine viruses via feed and feed ingredients have been addressed, further investigation is needed into how viruses are transmitted via feed to swine under actual field conditions. On that note, Dr Dee and his colleagues are preparing to publish results of a project where virus survival was tested by placing them in feed and driving the feed around the country for 21 days to simulate in-country transport conditions. The viruses used were PRRSv, PEDv and Senecavirus A, pathogens which Dr Dee's lab is certified to handle.
From awareness to action
Because of all the research into viral survival and transmission in feed since 2015, Dr Brockhoff says the world's pork and feed industries have become very aware of how viruses can survive in and be transported in all sorts of different feed ingredients. "With my colleagues at the Canadian Pork Council (CPC), we went to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) with all the research in 2018, and we worked together to come up with changes in how high-risk feed ingredients such as unprocessed grains, oilseeds as well as associated meals destined for use in livestock were imported into Canada," he explains.
"Since March 2019, Canada has established import secondary control zones and permits for imports from countries with ASF, and the CPC has provided time and temperature recommendations for producers."
Dr Dee is happy to see that the CFIA took all the research seriously and has put many measures in place. "Here, the pork industry and feed industry have adopted some of the same measures," he says, "but I would like to see a national government-led prevention and control programme to address viral disease presence and transport in feed, similar to what is in Canada."
Building on findings showing virus survival in feed, scientists have been studying the capacity of feed additives to destroy viruses. Dr Dee and colleagues at South Dakota State University did a study of this in 2019 but it hasn't been published yet.
They found that titres of the four viruses tested (Senecavirus A, PEDv, PRRSv and Bovine herpesvirus type 1) were reduced by the presence of additives that contain a blend of medium chain fatty acids. Specifically, they found a strong antiviral effect from a product containing a blend of organic acids and an analogue of the amino acid methionine (analogues of this amino acid, HMTBa and HMTBa-Ca, are authorised feed additives in the EU).
At the start of May, Dr Dee and his colleagues also submitted a study for publication on the antiviral effects of various commercial products on Senecavirus A, PEDv and PRRSv in feed. "There are several types of products," says Dr Dee. "Some contain short, medium and long-chain fatty acids, organic acids either individually or in blends, and essential oils. A lot of these products are a blend of many things."
In any ASF-positive country, there is the chance of cross-contamination through things like feed spilling on the ground and then being scooped up and bagged
Looking at all the research that's been done, Dr Dee says that on the whole, soybean-based feed ingredients such as soybean meal have consistently been found to be very protective of viruses. "We're not sure if it's due to the high protein content or another characteristic, but we in the US are still importing soybean meal from China, Russia and the Ukraine, which are all ASF-positive countries and that's crazy," he says.
"In any ASF-positive country, there is the chance of cross-contamination through things like feed spilling on the ground and then being scooped up and bagged. Import of that particular ingredient from those countries should be stopped or a national programme like what Canada has, where this would be kept in a holding area and tested and treated, should be put in place. Yes, feed mills are doing this but we can't be sure they are all doing this, and a national government-led programme would be best."
The Canadian pork industry right now has to import a variety of vitamins from China as we can't get them anywhere else
In Dr Brockhoff's view, the most important thing feed mills can do to reduce risk of transmission of viral diseases through feed is, when possible, to buy ingredients from countries that aren't infected with major diseases. "The Canadian pork industry right now has to import a variety of vitamins from China as we can't get them anywhere else," he says, "and it's an extremely low-risk ingredient in terms of viral disease, but the packaging for anything can be a risk."
How various additives inhibit viruses
Organic acids can directly inhibit virus activity, for example by suppressing gene expression. They can also prevent viruses from attaching to the surface of host cells. (In bacteria, organic acids are able to cross the membrane and cause disruption by changing the concentrations of charged atoms.) Fatty acids can affect the virus coating, causing leakage or total disintegration of the envelope. Some essential oils (e.g. eucalyptus, tea tree and thyme) can directly inactivate free virus particles.

Galway Bay Sailing Club get the go ahead for important renovations
Galway Bay Sailing Club is making significant changes to improve the club facilities after receiving planning permission.
Galway county council gave the club permission for works including converting the ground floor area of the club from boat storage to a training area.
A new boat storage facility will also be built for the Sailing Club at Rinville West.
Galway Bay Sailing Club, just a few kilometres outside the city, has a proud tradition of hosting regattas on Galway Bay and training people on a wide variety of boats.
In September the club hosted the prestigious Hansa Nationals and Presidents Cup for the third consecutive year.
But this isn't just a club for experienced sailors as there are also plenty of training courses on offer for young people to get their first experiencing with boats.
The Department of Heritage, Culture and the Gaeltacht expressed concern about the potential impact of the development on habitats around Galway Bay.
The department noted that the Sailing Club is within Galway Bay Complex and Inner Galway Bay conservation areas, with 20 bird habitats in the area.
They asked that the council be satisfied the project will not have any negative impact on those before granting permission.
Galway County Council gave permission for the alterations to Galway Bay Sailing Club with six conditions attached.

Q: How to override behavior of base abstract class? How do I override base class behavior when testing the derived class?
public abstract BaseController
{
    public virtual bool DoStuff(){};
}

public class UsageController : BaseController
{
    public string MethodToTest()
    {
       if (base.DoStuff())
          {return "yes";}
       return "no";
    }
}

I would like to setup the return value for DoStuff(), is this possible?
[Test]
public void Returns_Yes_When_True()
{
     var sut = new UsageController();
     //how would I setup the behavior of DoStuff?
     Assert.That(sut.MethodToTest()=="yes");
}

A:
How do I override base class behavior when testing the derived class?

By actually overriding it. Provided that UsageController is not sealed.
public class TestController : UsageController {
    public override bool DoStuff(){ return true; };
}

Inherit from the derived class and use the stub in the test
[Test]
public void Returns_Yes_When_True() {
    //Arrange
    var expected = "yes";
    var sut = new TestController();
    //Act
    var actual = sut.MethodToTest();
    //Assert
    Assert.That(expected == actual);
}

UPDATE:
It passes when you remove base and call the instance method
public class UsageController : BaseController {
    public string MethodToTest() {
       if (DoStuff())
          {return "yes";}
       return "no";
    }
}

which makes sense since if i remember correctly guidelines advised that base should be called within overrides.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Six-year-old Dave Pfeifer was living in a "safe house" in Budapest in 1944.
Despite the protective statuses of these houses, under the Swiss, Swedish and International Red Cross, they were frequently raided by the Arrow Cross Party, the Hungarian right-wing fascist organization that controlled the Hungarian government. Dave vividly remembers these Arrow Cross Party raids.
Throughout 1944 and 1945, the Arrow Cross shot and killed as many as 20,000 Jews, from the Budapest Ghetto, along the Danube, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
One day, all of the Jews in the "safe house" were rounded up to be taken to the Budapest Ghetto. The Arrow Cross soldiers were collecting valuables and shot those who did not give them up.
He was looking at Dave.
Seventy-four years later, Dave still has nightmares about this moment. Although in his dreams, instead of walking away, the soldier shoots.
"Even today, I taste the gun powder in my mouth," he recalled.
I first met Dave on a cold day in February 2018, when I interviewed him at his home in Willowbrook. He was reluctant to speak at first, and did not give many details. Throughout the interview, I constantly circled back to the time in Budapest. I wasn't sure if he didn't remember or if he didn't want to speak of the painful memories.
He never told me the rifle story.
As I was editing his video story, I called him to clarify a few dates and names. Our phone conversation, in which originally I just wanted to know his birthday and the names of his brothers, turned into a powerful anecdote, which still haunts him to this day.
I asked if I could come to interview him again, to record the rifle story. He agreed, but there was one problem: He was already in West Palm Beach for the winter.
Luckily, I happened to already have a trip planned to West Palm Beach to visit my family, and we did the interview this past Sunday.
In Dave's home on Staten Island, he has a wall dedicated to photos of his 19 grandchildren, with all of their images prominently in view. While he lost his parents and his oldest brother during the Holocaust, he is proud of the new life he built, with his wife Helene, his four sons and all of his grandchildren.

Брекзит / Brexit
15 Jan Брекзит / Brexit
Posted at 20:27h in forex	by	Major Developer 0 Comments
The UK government went into the renegotiation harbouring a legitimate concern that the Eurozone may act as a block within the EU, using its majority in the EU Council to pass laws, primarily for its own interests. As a result, financial regulations could be imposed on the City making it less globally competitive, thereby hurting a key UK economic interest. Lastly, there were the demands брексит дата surrounding individual rights. This is because the right of EU citizens to move to the UK became inherently politicized as part of a broader debate over immigration — a subject absent from the 1975 EEC referendum. The author reported that the Great Britain denied access to in-work benefits to recently arrived jobseekers from elsewhere in the EU, despite it was discriminatory.
Glencross examines similarities and differences between the 2016 and the 1975 referendums. He argues that the British position towards integration — something greater than the mainstream political trend (possibly, he means eurosceptics), was "not just nationalist populist as with the Front National in France", it was a position in which "the possibility of withdrawal from the EU" was "openly discussed and real readiness was expressed «to actually devolve this decision to the public vote"16. A. Glenkross highlights concept of "British exceptionalism" and confirms his argument by the UK refusal from euro, the Schengen agreement as well as by the determination to leave from the European ideal "of ever closer union"12.
May. According to her, David Cameron's negotiation was a "valiant final attempt to make it work for Britain" but "the blunt truth" was that "there was not enough flexibility on many important matters for a majority of British voters"19.
Serguey Braguinsky shows in his article published in The Journal of Legal Studies, that "the collapse of communism in the former Soviet Union occurred as a logical extension of a lengthy and largely spontaneous process that had been accumulating in the planned economy at least 30 years before Mikhail Gorbachev started the final stage that was destined to bring the system down" (Braguinsky). According to Braguinsky, in this process, property rights were gradually transferred "from the top political brexit новости leadership and bureaucrats to coalitions composed of the management of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), middle-rank nomenklatura officials, and black marketeers" (Braguinsky). However this fact itself is not enough to explain the inefficiency of outcome, as "an influential view stemming from Steven Cheung's insight [Steven N.S. Cheng, The Theory of Share Tenancy. 1969] contends that formal titles to ownership are in fact irrelevant to the question of economic efficiency" (Braguinsky).
Thirdly, the growth of political influence of Euroscep-tics led to the vote on EU membership. Lack of reforms within EU which could be suited with the British played into the hands of Eurosceptics who claimed that the EU was unreformable and heading towards federal union. Fourthly, there was organized and well-funded opposition, namely, the Party of independence of the United Kingdom.
It was repeated in the speech of the new Prime Minister T. May, who replaced D. Cameron. "Unlike other European countries, we have no written constitution, but the principle of Parliamentary Sovereignty is https://www.maximarkets.org/ the basis of our unwritten constitutional settlement. We have only a recent history of devolved governance — though it has rapidly embedded itself — and we have little history of coalition government".
Blair, who served as the British Prime Minister from 1997 to 2007, also hailed China's growing global influence over the last few years, and believes the world now views China in a different way. Speaking ahead of current prime minister Theresa May's upcoming visit to China, Blair was positive about the development of China-UK relations, and said that Brexit will not affect British leaders' will to build closer ties with China.
The success on elections in European Parliament of populist Party of Independence of the United Kingdom was connected in the book with the general negative perception of EU and the requirement to restrict immigration from other EU countries. The author accuses T. Blair's government of the scale of potential labour migration and chose not to impose transitional controls after the 2004 enlargement21. He mentions that even the Europhile wing in the Conservative Party recognized that enormous gains that the free movement of EU citizens offers, such as capital mobility and free labour movement, provides UK businesses with a vast pool of resources with which to innovate and grow, can be realized but only on the basis of accepting constrains on immigration policy. As it becomes known from the book, the Eurosceptics demanded unilateral concessions for the UK, such as parliamentary veto on European legislative procedure, as well as concessions on fundamental principles of EU, in particular, concerning free movement of EU citizens22.
The author accuses T.
A. Glencross states that on a strategic level, UK's withdrawal from the EU has a number of important ramifications, many of them potentially favourable to French interests.
This review essay focuses on the monograph of the British researcher A.
It was repeated in the speech of the new Prime Minister T. May, who replaced D.
Cameron's defeat were, firstly, the results of 2015 UK General Elections. The vote revealed disagreements among British citizens. According to D.
A. Glenkross aknowledges that the idea to hold a referendum on EU membership penetrated all political spectrum and covered not only Eurosceptics from Conservative party, but also Laborers and Liberal democrats. While analyzing a position of Eurosceptics, the author emphasizes two important aspects, firstly, "the nature of EU membership is somehow unfair or too restrictive for the more free-trade brexit новости and globally oriented UK". As a result, the UK had an opt-out from the most constraining aspect of integration, European Monetary Union and its tight fiscal coordination, secondly, "there was no national consent to membership in the political union as on the 1975 referendum British voted for a common market and not a political union"17. As follows from the text of the book, A.
Brexit could in fact breathe new life into this stalled alliance by creating momentum for a new EU initiative as a show of defiance to British Euroscepticism. But reticence of the French President's to discuss Brexit is not attributed to ideological hostility by the author. Rather, the cause lay in France's twin economic and political weakness, which "hampers its ability to guide the future course of European integration"29.
Thirdly, the presence of the organized and well-funded political opposition in the form of the Party of independence of the United Kingdom so that there was a merge of nationalist Euroscepticism with anti-elites mood. The author of the book successfully emphasizes the fact of ever-present debate in Europe concerning the spectre of a federal superstate. According to Glencross, the claims of Eurosceptics were reduced to the arguments that EUs institutional structure and its policy effects had evolved beyond the control of British voters since 1975. Therefore, Europhiles across the major political parties believed that the only way to settle this argument was by resorting to the voice of people20.
Saving the Japan-South Korea Relationship
In 2017 the government stated its position in two White Papers and reports on the preliminary results of negotiations by the government members. British and would enable Eurosceptics to claim that EU was unreformed and was moving to a federative superstate. Secondly, severe criticism from mass media which not only drowned the statements of Europhiles, but also heated the anti-European moods due to manipulation by the facts.
In conclusion the author summarizes that David Cameron's gamble proved a great miscalculation with bad consequences for the UK domestic as well as foreign policy in the near future. He claims that for the settlement of constitutional issues a referendum as an element of direct democracy is not suitable. In 2016, as part of Palgrave Pivot series — which allows for speedy dissemination of medium-size studies (around the length of three to six standard journal articles) a book on an important and sensitive topic, both for British and for world politics, was published in the UK. Its author, the British researcher, the senior lecturer of the chair of politics and international relations of Aston University, A. Glenkross prepared substantial, but not deprived of flaws the research within short limits of time.
Cameron, after improving the terms of membership the referendum was to reconcile two opposing camps by the results of vote to which the minority would be compelled to obey. Secondly, different political traditions of Britain and the EU that delivered discomfort for the British political tradition and for the way of life. As a result, Britain tried https://www.maximarkets.org/brexit/ to withdraw EU from closer integration towards federal union getting the nickname of «the strange partner». The author emphasizes that D. Cameron's negotiations with EU prior to the referendum were "the valiant final attempt to make it work for Britain, but for the majority of the British voters EU has not proved sufficient flexibility".

All I want to do is to allow the user to drag/ drop panels within a scrollbox to rearrange the order. They are initially created in alpha order by caption anf pointers stored in a stringlist. When the user moves one it is moved in the stringlist, the scrollbox is cleared (note: the panels cannot be freed because they contain info) and re-parented in stringlist sequence. If you do more than one move, the resulting sequence of the panels in the scrollbox seems completely random, and certainly bears no resemblance to the sequence in the stringlist! I have tried doing this by index up from and downto zero; neither works.
All your trouble comes from using the alTop style for the panels. Simply set it to alNone and size and position the panels in code, using their SetBounds method.
