Discussion in 'Auto-Sleepers' started by dru, Dec 28, 2008.
I am sure they are all the same (assuming it is gas) turn the knob to small flame position and hold in whilst the pilot is lit (press the igniter, you will hear it click until pilot flame lights) then wait approx 30 secs before releasing the knob, if the flame goes out you need to hold the knob in longer. Then turn to the large flame position and away you go. If the pilot goes out no matter how long you hold the knob in then you probably have a defective thermocouple, they are not expencive to replace, under a fiver.
Hi Roger, thanks for reply - have you any idea what the little red button just above the taps on the front cover is for? and yes it is gas. Sunny up here in SW Scotland but brrr cold!!! Merry Christmas, Drew.
if the red button is not the igniter, press it, does it click? No, then it is the gas feed, hold it in and keep pressed whilst you turn the igniter which will be one of the others, keep it pressed in for about 30 secs to make sure the thermocouple gets hot.
you should have two or three controls, one lights the pilot (sort of start and run positions may be push to ignite) the other regulates the temperature and possibly a third if it has a seperate igniter.
looks to me as if the little red button is just the marker to tell you what setting you have got the water heater on.yhe bottom knob is the temprature control,you turn it clockwise to make the water hotter.
To operate your water heater do the following, switch on the water pump and make sure you have free flow of water from your hot tap, switch off tap, make sure your gas is on and the gas tap for the water heater is switched on ( there will be a seperate isolater but this is probably already on) the red spot is just a marker, turn the knob clockwise until you hear a click, you have just tried lighting your water heater it will kost likely not light as if it has not been used for a while you will nedd to bleed the gas through to do this turn the knob 3/4 of the way around but not far enough for it to click hold in this position for about 2 mins the pilote is very small and will take some time to get the gas through.
If you haven't already drained the water heater i would suggest that you do, there is or should be a small screw on the right hand underside of the water section, (as you face the heater) which is at roughly a 45deg angle, the slot in the head will take a 2p piece if you remove it it will drain any trapped water in the heater itself.
We have the same heater fitted in our Talisman,but the manual is in storage till at least May.
Switch on water pump. Turn on a HOT water tap...water comes out OK....if not there's a water shut off valve at the back of the heater just where the water supply pipe goes into the metal casting. Its a small grey/white knob....turn anti clockwise.....water runs now.....OK.
If the heater has not been used for some time the gas pipe must be cleared of air.....make sure the gas is turned on at cylinder and the heater stop valve (mines at floor leval,in a group, in the locker under the cooker). Now this is when I use one of those long hand held gas lighters. Turn the large knob on the front (2 black dots and a flame) clockwise. You'll feel it snap as it operates the spark ingniter and then comes to a stop.....hold it against the stop (this is letting the air out and the gas to flow) at the same time put the gas lighter to the pilot light. It may take some time to clear the air out, its a long pipe from the valve to the heater at a low pressure.
When the pilot lights up, take away lighter, but hold the knob in that position for at least 15-20 seconds to allow the thermocouple to work, then loose the knob.(don't turn it) the pilot light should stay on. If it goes out turn fully back, then start again but hold for 20-25 seconds.
The next time you light it you should only need to turn and hold the large white nob. Well may be 2-3 times after that I use the lighter. If you see it spark you know it air not gas your trying to light.
Don't leave water in the heater in the winter if you do and it freezes ice will split the diaphram. Many $$$$$ to repair if you can get the parts.
Turn off the inlet water at the stop valve (grey/white knob..clockwise) next to it there is a small metal pipe about 3/8"dia 2"long with a brass cap nut on the end. Open all hot water taps, then remove cap nut to drain heater. If you've a good pair of lungs, get your head into the sink and blow the remaining water out.
Hope it all works for you.....I've all the manuals for the 1992 Autosleeper Talisman equipment I'll scan and email any part too you, It won't be until we return from the USA . May.
Hi Dru - I have the same water heater as you in my Autosleeper and have been told the diaphragm is broken (probably frost damaged) and that I will need a replacement boiler. The water has been drained from it, coz there's a sticker on it saying so. The trouble I have is that I'm not sure what model this boiler is, can't seem to find it on the web, just the more up to date ones, like the problem you had. I know you can get replacement diaphragms, I just need to know which one to get. Did you manage to get a manual for the boiler? Do you know what the model number is?
i now know why for the last 10 years my grill wont toast a piece of bread faster than 20 minutes.hopes this helps any future visiters to this thread.
Thanks, Adventure! I tried your advice (just before buying a new one) and it works fine, I'll probably donate the saved cash to a Scottish distillery or a similar type of charity Cheers, Little House.

Trademark Modiano, brittle and elegant, with more questions than answers.
by Patrick Modiano ; translated by Barbara Wright ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 29, 2014
Brooding, philosophically rich novel by Modiano (Missing Person, 2014, etc.), recipient of the 2014 Nobel Prize in literature.
Jean B. is a filmmaker—a documentary filmmaker, more precisely, and one constantly on the go from continent to continent and culture to culture: "I was just back from Oceania," he recalls, "and I was to leave for Rio de Janeiro a few days later." This tour finds him on a short layover in Milan while traveling to Paris by train—and everyone knows that you don't go to Milan in August, when everyone is gone or hiding from the heat. Apparently the heat is too much, or something is too much in any event, for another traveler, Ingrid Theysen, who, Jean learns, killed herself a couple of days earlier after drinking just the same drink he has now ordered. It's not the drink's fault but instead the weight of the whole oppressive 20th century: the war, the occupation, the whole bit. The thing is, Jean knew Ingrid two decades earlier, when she'd brightly said, "We'll pretend to be dead." Why should Ingrid want to do so? What secret did she hold—and how about Rigaud, the fellow whom she'd run off with during the war, leaving it to her poor parents to place advertisements begging for information about their missing daughter? Modiano is in high mystery mode as Jean sets out to retrace Ingrid's steps past "groups of German soldiers and French policemen," hugging the walls while trying to avoid being seen. And why? Well, there's the nub, and Modiano takes his time solving the puzzle and then not filling in every blank—not least the one that might tell us why Jean should be interested in the first place. Along the way, he coolly evokes the black-and-white grittiness of France in the early 1960s, when so many were trying to forget the events of 20 years before, and leaves much of the rest to the reader's imagination.

THE BLACK NOTEBOOK
by Patrick Modiano translated by Mark Polizzotti
by Patrick Modiano
Miller makes Homer pertinent to women facing 21st-century monsters.
Kirkus Reviews'
by Madeline Miller ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 10, 2018
A retelling of ancient Greek lore gives exhilarating voice to a witch.
"Monsters are a boon for gods. Imagine all the prayers." So says Circe, a sly, petulant, and finally commanding voice that narrates the entirety of Miller's dazzling second novel. The writer returns to Homer, the wellspring that led her to an Orange Prize for The Song of Achilles (2012). This time, she dips into The Odyssey for the legend of Circe, a nymph who turns Odysseus' crew of men into pigs. The novel, with its distinctive feminist tang, starts with the sentence: "When I was born, the name for what I was did not exist." Readers will relish following the puzzle of this unpromising daughter of the sun god Helios and his wife, Perse, who had negligible use for their child. It takes banishment to the island Aeaea for Circe to sense her calling as a sorceress: "I will not be like a bird bred in a cage, I thought, too dull to fly even when the door stands open. I stepped into those woods and my life began." This lonely, scorned figure learns herbs and potions, surrounds herself with lions, and, in a heart-stopping chapter, outwits the monster Scylla to propel Daedalus and his boat to safety. She makes lovers of Hermes and then two mortal men. She midwifes the birth of the Minotaur on Crete and performs her own C-section. And as she grows in power, she muses that "not even Odysseus could talk his way past [her] witchcraft. He had talked his way past the witch instead." Circe's fascination with mortals becomes the book's marrow and delivers its thrilling ending. All the while, the supernatural sits intriguingly alongside "the tonic of ordinary things." A few passages coil toward melodrama, and one inelegant line after a rape seems jarringly modern, but the spell holds fast. Expect Miller's readership to mushroom like one of Circe's spells.

THE SECRET HISTORY
by Donna Tartt ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 16, 1992
The Brat Pack meets The Bacchae in this precious, way-too-long, and utterly unsuspenseful town-and-gown murder tale. A bunch of ever-so-mandarin college kids in a small Vermont school are the eager epigones of an aloof classics professor, and in their exclusivity and snobbishness and eagerness to please their teacher, they are moved to try to enact Dionysian frenzies in the woods. During the only one that actually comes off, a local farmer happens upon them—and they kill him. But the death isn't ruled a murder—and might never have been if one of the gang—a cadging sybarite named Bunny Corcoran—hadn't shown signs of cracking under the secret's weight. And so he too is dispatched. The narrator, a blank-slate Californian named Richard Pepen chronicles the coverup. But if you're thinking remorse-drama, conscience masque, or even semi-trashy who'll-break-first? page-turner, forget it: This is a straight gee-whiz, first-to-have-ever-noticed college novel—"Hampden College, as a body, was always strangely prone to hysteria. Whether from isolation, malice, or simple boredom, people there were far more credulous and excitable than educated people are generally thought to be, and this hermetic, overheated atmosphere made it a thriving black petri dish of melodrama and distortion." First-novelist Tartt goes muzzy when she has to describe human confrontations (the murder, or sex, or even the ping-ponging of fear), and is much more comfortable in transcribing aimless dorm-room paranoia or the TV shows that the malefactors anesthetize themselves with as fate ticks down. By telegraphing the murders, Tartt wants us to be continually horrified at these kids—while inviting us to semi-enjoy their manneristic fetishes and refined tastes. This ersatz-Fitzgerald mix of moralizing and mirror-looking (Jay McInerney shook and poured the shaker first) is very 80's—and in Tartt's strenuous version already seems dated, formulaic. Les Nerds du Mal—and about as deep (if not nearly as involving) as a TV movie.

Huaraz comments only. Don't discuss the hostels here, post a review on the hostel's page instead.
Huaraz, Peru, is a city in the Peruvian Andes, surrounded by many mountains and is therefore a perfect starting point for many day hikes or longer hikes in the mountains. It is also perfect for adventure-seekers who are interested in mountain biking, mountaineering, or climbing. The high season is from May to September and it slows down a bit after that.
There are a lot of tour agencies in the city that can help you organize the tours and a lot of the hostels in Huaraz, Peru, can also help you with all of that. A lot of the time the Huaraz, Peru hostels work hand in hand with the guides and tour agencies and can save you the hassle of trying to organize it yourself.
In Huaraz itself, there are not many tourist attractions to visit. The main ones are the archeology museum Museo Regional De Ancash in the city centre, and Wilkahuain ruins that are nice to visit by walking (you can also take a taxi). There have been some reports about robberies on the route, so it is safer to take a taxi!
The central market is a good place to stock up on all the necessary items if you decide to do the hikes solo. If you want to do the treks solo but do not have all the necessary equipment with you, there are plenty of rental stores around where you can rent pretty much everything.
In terms of sleeping, most of the hostels in Huaraz, Peru, are situated in the centre of the city. There are plenty of options around for budget backpackers to those who are looking for a bit more comfort and luxury. If you haven't booked anything in advance and are just arriving to the bus station, there are plenty of taxi drivers that will offer to take you to a hostel in Huaraz, Peru, or you can just find one yourself. Most of the hostels in Huaraz, Peru, are located close to the centre and are within walking distance from the bus stations. In the high season, it could be more difficult to find accommodation so you should book ahead.
Hi, I'm Moonika, the Hostelz.com local expert for Huaraz hostels. Welcome.

Turning talent into success
Tchaikovsky: Notes & Letters
Guildhall Art Gallery & Roman Amphitheatre
On 16th November 2018 we presented a unique evening of entertainment exploring the life of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky through his music and writings.
Held at the Guildhall Art Gallery, in the heart of the City of London, the event fell into two halves. After enjoying Russian-themed cocktails served on arrival, guests were treated to an electric performance of Tchaikovsky's string sextet Souvenir de Florence by an ensemble of CMF Artists: Emily Sun (violin – 2018 CMF Artist), Christopher Jones (violin – Gildas Quartet, 2015 CMF Artists), Kay Stephen (viola – Gildas Quartet, 2015 CMF Artists), Lucy Nolan (viola – Eblana String Trio, 2017 CMF Artists), Ariana Kashefi (cello – 2018 CMF Artist), and Peggy Nolan (cello – Eblana String Trio, 2017 CMF Artists).
Tchaikovsky visited Florence many times, often staying with his long-term patron Nadezhda von Meck, and the first flashes of Souvenir de Florence were probably sketched during his final first visit in early 1890. Completing it later that year, he extensively revised the third and fourth movements after an initial private hearing. The resulting work we know today was premiered on 6th December 1892, less than a year before his death.
During the interval, guests were ushered downstairs, beneath the gallery, to enjoy further drinks and canapés within a piece of London's hidden history. Several floors beneath the Guildhall Art Gallery lie the remains of a Roman Amphitheatre, which is thought to have been built in c. 75 AD. Château du Galoupet wine was served with Russian-themed canapés created by Mosimann's.
The second half was the title event – Tchaikovsky: Notes & Letters – a never-before-seen entertainment performed by three of our illustrious patrons, actor Simon Callow, soprano Joan Rodgers, and pianist Roger Vignoles, as well as mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston (2018 CMF Artist).
This tapestry of music and words, woven together by Joan Rodgers, offered a chronological picture of the whole Tchaikovsky, from legal clerk to world-famous composer and everything in between: losing his mother aged fourteen, visiting London, fully committing to music, falling in love with women, falling in love with men, getting married, confronting his sexuality, etc.
Amongst a string of anecdotes and extracts from his many letters read by Simon Callow, Joan Rodgers and Helen Charlston performed a selection of Tchaikovsky's songs and arias in turn, joining for a duet from Eugene Onegin just before the end. They were accompanied by Roger Vignoles, who also performed two solo piano pieces (see programme below for full music list).
Here are some of the comments from the guests and performers:
"The sextet were brilliant! Their interplay, sensitivity and sheer excellence were a real treat. None of us had ever heard that piece [Souvenir de Florence]. Wow!"
"…spectacular evening of Tchaikovsky's music… with the extra marvel of Helen Charlston… we left with a much expanded appreciation of Tchaikovsky's life"
"Roger V and I sat side by side and almost hugged each other with pleasure at the end…" (Simon Callow on the performance of Souvenir de Florence)
"What a good cause CMF is, and how pleased and proud you must be of its progress. Congratulations!"
"What a splendid and imaginative evening. We enjoyed it so much and I don't think anyone else could have done it."

Updated the list of modifications planned. Everything is ordered apart from the brakes and remap. Now I'll just have to wait to get all of them to then schedule with my mechanic.
Forgot to order the CTS Turbo turbo outlet pipe but while going through the Mods Catalogue saw it and was still able to get it added to the original order.
So much stuff to upgrade... Geezz!
So I postponed the front brakes upgrade and ordered a Forge Motorsport oil catch tank system for vehicles with charcoal filter (FMMK5CTC).
Decided to get the Brembo Z8 with 350 mm GL450 discs when I have funds available for them.
In the meantime more bits have arrived. There are also more that I have to pick up from shipping companies or from car part stores.
Searched online about new firmwares for the RNS-510 and updated successfully my old version A to a modified 5238 with secret menu and VIM activated.
The update went well in the 1st attempt. Burned the CD image to a Verbatim CD-R at 16x. The update erased my radio list, the maps, my favourite locations and my personalized POI file. So as I wanted to go for a drive I took the opportunity to save the maps without spending more battery power. Really enjoyed the almost 40 miles of the drive. The engine and the gearbox are great as standard. Made an average consumption of 28 MPG. It's what I get on my daily driving as well.
Best version of the best GTI ever made, MK5.
This will become a monster!
The list of parts at home is now bigger than the list of ordered parts. I need to start fitting some of them myself.
And I need replace the wiper blades inserts and to get a new battery.
This weekend had some time to fit some of the parts that I have at home.
Sunday morning the engine didn't want to start so I had to go buy a new battery. Fitted one with 74Ah 680A.
Very nice car, especially in white.
Can you tell me why you are fitting R32 bump stops?
Love this! MKV is the best Golf and ED30 is it's best version. K04 has a huge tuning potential.
I chose the R32 bump stops because they're a bit shorter than the regular ones, since I'm replacing my lowering springs and dampers. I hope they're more adequate to that setup.
Received two boxes, one with almost all of the rest of the parts that I ordered from Bold Sport and the other with the CTS Turbo bits.
For the LED to work I had to exchange the wires in the connector. It wasn't that easy to release them from the plug.


Vita is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 6.
The Vita is an elegant dress style that leaves a sharp impression. A slip-resistant outsole with TripGuard, a water-resistant leather upper, and an INFUSE™ EVA midsole make this pump shoe a safe and comfortable choice.
Weight (per shoe): 9.31 oz.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maria L. from I am a cocktail server and I needed to find some comfortable shoes with a small heel. I just wore these shoes last night for an 8 hour shift and I must say I am very satisfied with my purchase, I had to give these a review. I have very small feet and it is hard for me to find a Size 5 that actually fits. The quality is better than expected and they are super comfortable. I will definitely keep buying. These shoes are perfect for petite women, if you have narrow feet like me these are the perfect fit. If you have Wide feet these might be a little tight.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Debbie L. from I'm having difficulty finding dress shoes for work. All the new styles I love them but they are all way too narrow. These narrow toed shoes should be offered in a wide option. These are made for women with very narrow feet at the toes. I am required to have dress shoes for part of my job that are also non-slip. Very sad here in Alabama, really had hoped these would have worked. These are my favorite shoe of all the ones I tried. Love the style and look. Just doesn't work for me.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sandra M. from Recommend by a co- worker. Overall, very pleased with shoes. I did have to go 1/2 size up as first pair felt too short. Very comfortable, would have liked the Mary Jane strap to be a little higher up on the shoe.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mrs.B from Dressy and reasonably comfortable These chunky heels are stylish and reasonably comfy. I have a little issue with the pointy toe that crowds my toes a little bit. I don't wear wide shoes, so not sure what the deal is. If it had a little less point and a little more ease in the toe box, they'd be perfect. There is a little bit of arch support built in, but if you have issues with that, you'll need your own orthotics to fix that.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from This was a gift.


The antiX project creates a lightweight, systemd-free distribution based on Debian. When antiX 17 was first released it was based on Debian's Stable branch, but a second set of ISOs have been uploaded which provide antiX fans with a Debian Unstable (Sid) base. "I have made available Net and Core versions of antiX for 32- and 64-bit architectures built from Debian Sid repos. Kernel used is 4.15.14, systemd-free. Net needs a wired ethernet connection, Core should work ok for most boxes with a wired or wifi connection. These ISO files are meant for those who know their way around Debian Sid. Things may break."

Philippine Diver brings you to the most amazing parts of this beautiful archipelago. It's stunning beauty is not limited to the underwater world. There are many land-based attractions visitors don't want to miss. Each Island has its very own charm. Philippine Diver shows you the best of both worlds.
The Philippine Islands consist of 7,107 Islands and although still not considered one of the classical Scuba diving destinations in the world, the area is already well known as a paradise for the more intrepid scuba diver. Because of its long distance from Europe or the United States the archipelago still maintains an aura of relaxation unlike many dive-destinations in Thailand, the Red Sea or Cozumel.
The Philippines are a dream destination for divers from all corners of the globe. You could be privileged enough to see pygmy-seahorses, mandarin fish, nudibranches and ghostpipefish as well as become surrounded by pristine coral-gardens. Walls going down into the abyss, hunting barracudas and huge tuna make the heart of each diver beat a little faster.
If your special interest is wreck-diving there are two fantastic destinations located in this area. One fleet lays in Coron, the other in Subic Bay submerged at a diveable depth. As well as that don't forget the Whale sharks in Donsol or join a dive-trip to the Tubbataha Reef which has become recognised as one of the most remarkable coral reefs on our planet.
The tropical climate is basically ruled by two seasons. The north-east-monsoon (Amihan) and southwest-monsoon (Habagat).
Diving is possible all year round with only a few regions limited to specific months of the year. If you are a beginner, professional photographer or Tec-diver, the opportunities are almost endless. The water temperature rarely drops below 25C/65F and the visibility can reach up to 50 meter (160 ft). Even in bad conditions you should have at least 5meter/16feet of visual range.
Many dive-sites in the Philippines are protected areas or `Marine Sanctuaries'. The known reefs in the Philippines cover an area of more than 34,000 km2 and the variety of underwater species is understood to be one of the largest and most diverse in the world. the Philippine government and the local communities run different programs in order to protect the reefs and aquatic life.
There are four main regions (group of Islands) in the Philippines. Luzon in the north with the capital Manila is the starting point for many vacations. From here you can easily reach the well known dive spots of Puerto Galera, Anilao or Subic Bay.
If you arrive in Cebu you are in the Visayas, the central groups of Islands in the Philippines. Usually you need another short transfer (organized by your Resort or Hotel) to reach your final destination like the celebrated diving areas of Dumaguete, Moalboal, Apo Island or Bohol with Balicasag Island.

Al Mezan Center for Human Rights (Al Mezan) and Al-Haq submitted information to the UN Special Rapporteurs on the Right to Food and on Human Rights and Hazardous Substances and Wastes for their upcoming joint report to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2017. The submission focuses on the situation of farmers in Gaza living within an area designated by Israel as "access restricted" (up to approximately 1,500 meters from the border fence) who have had their vegetable fields and crops destroyed by chemicals sprayed by Israeli aircraft. In the submission, Al Mezan and Al-Haq note that the violations cited of peoples' rights to food, water, and a healthy environment in Gaza must be seen in conjunction with the context of the ten-year closure and blockade in Gaza, which collectively punishes the entire population of 2 million people, in direct violation of international humanitarian and human rights law.
The submission highlights specific cases of ten farmers whose land was affected by the chemical spraying during October 2014. Significantly, however, this occurrence was not a one-time event: Israeli authorities acknowledge aerial spraying of chemicals is carried out regularly for security purposes near the border fence (as per a letter sent to Al Mezan dated 31 July 2016). Although monetary damages for farmers affected by such spraying can be estimated in numeric terms, the long-term effects of the spraying on land and water resources, and on peoples' health remain incalculable, most especially in light of the lack of clarity from Israeli authorities regarding precisely the chemical compounds, concentrations of chemicals and quantities, were used.
Despite the systematic legal barriers faced by Palestinians in the Israeli court system, the ten farmers are proceeding to seek damages to hold responsible actors legally accountable with the help of Al Mezan (granted power of attorney), in a legal initiative led by Adalah–The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel and Gisha–Legal Center for Freedom of Movement. They have estimated that the total affected land area belonging to the farmers amounts to 81,300 square meters, with immediate losses estimated at ILS 55,919 (approximately USD 14,532), plus ILS 71,487 (approximately USD 18,577) in water costs required for irrigation and replanting of the destroyed fields, and that 200 people are affected, including the farmers, their families, and the lessors who are leasing farmers the land.
The submission also explains that Israel's frequent bombardments of Gaza - which target civilian communities and public infrastructure en masse - have devastating impacts on farmers and fishing communities. Farmers' lands are destroyed, livestock are killed, access to necessary water as well as electricity (relied upon for irrigation and household needs) is denied, and they may be injured or killed while tending to their fields (along with family members). Meanwhile, fishing communities are subjected to attacks by Israeli forces using live fire, arbitrary arrest and detention, and the destruction and confiscation of fishing boats and equipment - even within the permitted fishing zone according to Israeli policy of six nautical miles (as opposed to the 20 nautical miles as designated under the Oslo Accords). In effect, these violations of international law mean that both coastal and in-land communities in Gaza are subjected to forced displacement, impoverishment and loss of livelihood.
Call on Israel to immediately lift the closure/blockade on Gaza, particularly given the devastating impact on the rights to food, livelihood and life, and the corresponding lack of possibilities for there to be remediation of land contaminated by toxic substances and wastes.

Home Prisoners Ahmad Sa'adat A message from Palestinian prisoners to internationalists in the Week of Action...
Ahmad Sa'adat
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network received this message from Palestinian prisoners in occupation jails to all of those who have participated in the international events and actions during the Week of Action to Free Ahmad Sa'adat and All Palestinian Prisoners, 14-24 January 2023. The message was read aloud during the mass demonstration in Gaza, organized by the Handala Center for Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners, concluding the week of action on 24 January 2023.
A message from the prisoners of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in the occupation jails to the supporters of the international campaign to free Ahmad Sa'adat and all Palestinian prisoners:
In recent years, many people have been told that we have reached the end of the revolutionary era, that the time of revolutionaries is over, and only liberalism, individualism and selfishness are dominant in this world. However, proof that this world is still turbulent with revolutionary spirit is found in the international campaign of solidarity with the leader Ahmad Sa'adat, Abu Ghassan. He is a revolutionary shout that reminds the world that revolution is not only an idea and a choice, but a human duty as well.
The voice of Abu Ghassan, the imprisoned leader, is a revolutionary shout from the depths of the dungeons of the enemy, reminding us of the revolution's symbols and goals, including lifting injustice and oppression from people wherever they are. Palestine is not an imagined geography, it is part of this world and still represents the destination of revolutionaries everywhere.
To all comrades in the international campaign spread throughout the world…To the free people of the world…Your support for the leader Ahmad Sa'adat is an integral and important part of all efforts calling for and promising revolutionary upsurge to confront the forces of occupation and injustice. Continue your struggle, support and solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners' movement and with freedom fighters around the world. These efforts remain a source of pride for all of us.
Finally, this brief message of ours does not come only to support Abu Ghassan, but rather what he embodies and represents: steadfastness, dignity and humanity in the face of injustice. The cause of the prisoners transcends borders, geographies, walls and parallel time. It is a revolution confronting injustice in which our prisoners unite with all of the revolutionary prisoners around the world in the dungeons of oppression and persecution, especially Comrade Georges Abdallah and many other sons and daughters of the revolution.
Until we meet one day on the land of liberated Palestine,
Your comrades in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in the occupation prisons

An Anatomic Guide for Kids, which based on the idea that it's a multiple phone game - intended for a groups of children, for two or more children with smartphone in their holdings.
The game using the smartphones as a layers to uncover the different body parts, to play and to learn about them, and interact with other children.
There are two modes; "Explore" & "Treasure Hunt".
Start by picking a main area of the human body to start exploring Tomy's body. Once you picked an area, such as torso, you can begin adding phones, and discovering more body parts that can add up to a Tomy's whole body! Moving the different smartphones around one or putting it on each other as a layers diggind into Tomy's body allows to discover more parts.
This way, users can uncover Tomy's muscles, organs, bones and different body parts.
Going on a mission to find a body organ within a limited time.
For example: "Find the liver in 30 seconds" while you randomly starting form the left foot. Scanning your phone through the leg using other smartphones and searching for the right place of the organ, the user need to add additional layers of phones in order to see the organs inside the torso. Once you find and click on the liver, you've completed your mission!
While the user going to the process of layers and body parts, he can learn more information about a specific organ by clicking on it.

Q: How to change the color in the BarChart Hi i have this BarChart that shows the procent of some dadta. How to change the color of the bar if the procent is < 20 in red for example?
This is My Barchart:
          <BarChart
            //style={graphStyle}
            style={{marginBottom: -20}}
            data={this.state.chartData}
            width={screenWidth - 40}
            height={220}
            //yAxisLabel="$"
            chartConfig={this.state.chartConfig}
            verticalLabelRotation={30}
          />

          <View style={{padding: 5, paddingTop: 0}}>
            {
              this.state.labels.map((obj, i) => {
                return (
                  <Text style={{fontSize: 14, marginBottom: 2.5, color: '#666'}}>{i+1}. {obj} ({this.state.chartData.datasets[0].data[i]} gallons({this.state.procent[i]}%))</Text>
                )
              })
            }
          </View>

This is chartConfig:
       const chartConfig = {
     backgroundGradientFrom: "#fff",
     //backgroundGradientFromOpacity: 0,
     backgroundGradientTo: "#fff",
      //backgroundGradientToOpacity: 0.5,
      color: (opacity = 1) => `rgba(0, 0, 0, ${opacity})`,
     strokeWidth: 1, // optional, default 3
     barPercentage: 0.75,

     useShadowColorFromDataset: false // optional
   };

Where to add a second color if my procent of data is lover than 20?
This is the picture how it looks.

And if someone knows i am doing a formula to get the procent for the barchart and the Barchart expects data ti fill the vertical row with numbers how can i hardCode it so the number is always 100 at the top of the y?

A: Since version 6.7.0 you can use the withCustomBarColorFromData prop as introduced with this PR.
This works as follows:

*

*Set the withCustomBarColorFromData prop to true

*Provide a colors array within your data object. There is bijection between the indices of the colors array and the data indices. You need to provide a function that maps the opacity to a color string.

In order to have a custom color if the data point is less then 20, you could manage a separate colors state containing all the necessary functions.
Here is minimal example.
const init = [19, 18, 25, 20, 16];

const MyBarChart = () => {
  const [colors, setcolors] = useState(init.map(item => (opacity = 1) => `rgba(0, 0, 0, ${opacity})`))
  const [data, setData] = useState(init)

  React.useEffect(() => {
    setcolors(data.map(item => item < 20 ? (opacity = 1) => `rgba(255, 0, 0, ${opacity})` : (opacity = 1) => `rgba(0, 0, 0, ${opacity})`))
  }, [data])

 const dataset = {
    labels: ["january", "february", "march", "april", "may"],
    datasets: [
      {
        data: data,
        colors: colors
      }
    ]
  }

  return (
    <>
      <BarChart
        data={dataset}
        width={300}
        height={220}
        withCustomBarColorFromData={true}
        flatColor={true}
        chartConfig={{
          backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
          backgroundGradientFrom: '#ffffff',
          backgroundGradientTo: '#ffffff',
          data: dataset.datasets,
          color: (opacity = 1) => '#fff',
          labelColor: () => '#6a6a6a',
      }}
      />
    </>
  );
};

The result is as follows.

Q: Use javascript to detect if an MP4 video has a sound track I am creating a custom controller for MP4 video on a web page. The controller includes a volume slider. Some of the videos that are to be played have no sound track. It would be good to disable the volume slider for these videos, so that the user is not confused when changing the position of the volume slider has no effect.
Is there a property or a trick for checking if an MP4 file has an audio track? (jQuery is an option).
Edit: using @dandavis's suggestion, I now have this solution for Chrome (and .ogg on Opera):
var video = document.getElementById("video")
var volume = document.getElementById("volume-slider")

function initializeVolume() {
  var enableVolume = true
  var delay = 1

  if (video.webkitAudioDecodedByteCount !== undefined) {
    // On Chrome, we can check if there is audio. Disable the volume
    // control by default, and reenable it as soon as a non-zero value
    // for webkitAudioDecodedByteCount is detected.
    enableVolume = false

    startTimeout()

    function startTimeout () {
      if (!!video.webkitAudioDecodedByteCount) {
        enableVolume = true
        toggleVolumeEnabled(enableVolume)
      } else {
        // Keep trying for 2 seconds
        if (delay < 2048) {
          setTimeout(startTimeout, delay)
          delay = delay * 2
        }
      }
    }
  }

  toggleVolumeEnabled(enableVolume)
}

function toggleVolumeEnabled(enableVolume) {
  volume.disabled = !enableVolume
}

The video.webkitAudioDecodedByteCount value is initially 0. In my tests, it may take up to 256ms to get populated with a non-zero value, so I have included a timeout to keep checking (for a while).

A: There might be a better way of doing this, although it's fairly simple just using regular javascript for webkit or mozilla enabled browsers. webkit utilizes this.audioTracks and mozilla uses this.mozHasAudio respectively:

document.getElementById("video").addEventListener("loadeddata", function() {
  if ('WebkitAppearance' in document.documentElement.style)
    var hasAudioTrack = this.audioTracks.length;
  else if (this.mozHasAudio)
    var hasAudioTrack = 1;
  if (hasAudioTrack > 0)
    alert("audio track detected");
  else
    alert("audio track not detected");
});
<video id="video" width="320" height="240" controls>
  <source src="http://media.w3.org/2010/05/video/movie_300.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

There's also a function this.webkitAudioDecodedByteCount, however, I've never had any luck making it work.

A: There are different ways to check whether a video file has audio or not, one of which is to use mozHasAudio, video.webkitAudioDecodedByteCount and video.audioTracks?.length properties of video, clean and simple...


As technology continues to improve, a car's electronic systems become more complex and vital for safety. If your vehicle's computer or driving controls malfunction, driving can become difficult and unsafe. To keep all electronics up-to-date and fully-functional, come to Kennedy Auto Solutions in Tomball, TX.
With access to the most current tools available, our technicians can diagnose and service all electrical components in your car. The diagnostics process usually takes less than half an hour, so there's no need to put off regular checks.
A lit-up check engine light can mean your car needs a simple adjustment or a major repair. Our team can access service codes and diagnose the issue with little wait time, making it easier than ever to get back your peace of mind and return to your daily schedule.
Drivability refers to the amount of steadiness and smoothness of a car's acceleration, and today's vehicles use on-board computers to regularly monitor readings from sensors and adjust systems as necessary.

How Cruel: The Increasingly Unhinged Left Will Have to Pay for Their Own Anti-Psychotic Medications.
Republicans cruelly ignored a rapidly spreading epidemic as they crafted the partial repeal of Obamacare that passed in the House yesterday: They failed to include any provision in AHCA that provides mental health benefits for balmy liberals whose thin tether to sanity has been severed by the success of the GOP and Donald Trump. His victory in November and his successful collaboration with Senate Republicans on the confirmation of Neal Gorsuch for SCOTUS have already turn them into gibbering Tards.
On the latter point, she may be onto something though. Some of the outbursts our progressive friends are foolhardy enough to put in print are causing so much mirth on the tweeter that increasing amounts of leftist may end up in the Emergency Rooms.
The Democrats and their partners in the media and the entertainment industry have become a case study in mass hysteria. Perhaps AHCA should have included some provision for pre-existing hysteria. These people need sedatives and a long spell at a country retreat before they hurt themselves. They have already done considerable harm to us.

Prague Series(16)
The Prague Series 2019
The theme of this series designates Prague as a historical cultural phenomenon and in a concise and dedicated manner aims to show the thousand-year development of the city through its material and spiritual transformations and its legendary genius loci, thus helping to spread awareness of Czech culture and its level of education. The topics of the individual volumes are based on the intersections of vertical and horizontal timelines, presenting a vivid panorama of the Central European capital city, whose contours were determined not only by events and movements, but by the thoughts and actions of prominent figures. These volumes focusing on the city and the stratification of its historical styles are supplemented by a monographic treatment of more general topics that are intertwined with this historical stratification. The standard volume of the series consists of a general interpretation of the theme accompanied by illustrations and "a walk through Prague", which contains a captioned collection of photographs of historical sites still in existence today. The publication is complemented by a list of prominent personalities, index of places with a map of buildings and the author's bibliography. The series is produced in cooperation with respected Czech art historians and photographers. Typography by Zdeněk Ziegler. Edited by Milada Motlová. Published in Czech and English.

Uber halts autonomous vehicle program in Toronto, U.S. after woman struck, killed by self-driving car

9:53 Arizona police discuss Uber's self-driving vehicle that struck, killed pedestrian
WATCH ABOVE: Tempe Ariz. police discuss the self-driving Uber vehicle that struck and killed a pedestrian. Police say a driver was behind the wheel, but the vehicle was in an autonomous mode – Mar 19, 2018
An Uber self-driving car hit and killed a woman crossing the street in Arizona, police said on Monday, marking the first fatality caused by an autonomous vehicle and a potential blow to the technology expected to transform transportation.
The ride services company said it was suspending North American tests of its self-driving vehicles, which are currently going on in Arizona, Pittsburgh and Toronto.
So-called robot cars, when fully developed by companies including Uber, Alphabet Inc and General Motors Co, are expected to drastically cut down on motor vehicle fatalities and create billion-dollar businesses. But Monday's accident underscored the possible challenges ahead for the promising technology as the cars confront real-world situations involving real people.
Our hearts go out to the victim's family. We're fully cooperating with @TempePolice and local authorities as they investigate this incident.
— Uber Comms (@Uber_Comms) March 19, 2018
U.S. lawmakers have been debating legislation that would speed introduction of self-driving cars.
"This tragic accident underscores why we need to be exceptionally cautious when testing and deploying autonomous vehicle technologies on public roads," said Democratic Senator Edward Markey, a member of the transportation committee, in a statement.
Elaine Herzberg, 49, was walking her bicycle outside the crosswalk on a four-lane road in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe about 10 p.m. MST Sundaywhen she was struck by the Uber vehicle traveling at about 65 km per hour, police said. The car was in autonomous mode with an operator behind the wheel.
Herzberg later died from her injuries in a hospital, police said.

"The pedestrian was outside of the crosswalk. As soon as she walked into the lane of traffic she was struck," Tempe Police Sergeant Ronald Elcock told reporters at a news conference. He said he did not yet know how close Herzberg was to the vehicle when she stepped into the lane.
Elcock said he believed Herzberg may have been homeless.
The San Francisco Chronicle late Monday reported that Tempe Police Chief Sylvia Moir said that from viewing videos taken from the vehicle "it's very clear it would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode (autonomous or human-driven) based on how she came from the shadows right into the roadway."
Moir told the Chronicle, "I suspect preliminarily it appears that the Uber would likely not be at fault in this accident," but she did not rule out that charges could be filed against the operator in the Uber vehicle, the paper reported.

The "Tempe Police Department does not determine fault in vehicular collisions," the department said in a statement late Monday, in reply to questions from Reuters about the chief's comments. "Ultimately the investigation will be submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review and any potential charges."
Tempe authorities and federal officials are still investigating the incident. Canada's transportation ministry in Ontario, where Uber conducts testing, also said it was reviewing the accident.

Volvo, the Swedish car brand owned by China's Geely , said the software controlling the car in the crash was not its own.
Video footage will aid the ongoing investigation, and the case would be submitted to the district attorney, Elcock said.
"Our investigators have that information, and they will be using that in their investigation as well as the Maricopa County Attorney's Office as part of their investigation," said Elcock. "They are going to attempt to try to find who was possibly at fault and how we can better be safe, whether it's pedestrians or whether it's the vehicle itself."
Uber and Waymo on Friday urged Congress to pass sweeping legislation to speed the introduction of self-driving cars into the United States. Some congressional Democrats have blocked the legislation over safety concerns, and Monday's fatality could hamper passage of the bill, congressional aides said Monday.
Safety advocates called for a national moratorium on all robot car testing on public roads.
"Arizona has been the wild west of robot car testing with virtually no regulations in place," said Consumer Watchdog, a non-profit consumer advocacy group, in a statement. "That's why Uber and Waymo test there. When there's no sheriff in town, people get killed."
READ MORE: Here's how scientists convinced self-driving cars that stop signs were speed limit signs
Arizona has opened its arms to companies testing self-driving vehicles as a means to economic growth and jobs. Republican Governor Doug Ducey reached out to Uber in 2016 after California regulators cracked down on the company over its failure to obtain testing permits.
Self-driving cars being tested routinely get into fender-benders with other vehicles. Last week, a self-driving Uber crashed with another vehicle in Pittsburgh, local news reported. There were no injuries.
A year ago, Uber temporarily grounded its self-driving cars for a few days following a crash with another car in Tempe. The company has been the subject of a number of complaints about its autonomous vehicles, but the company has said the cars were being driven by a human driver at the time of the incidents.
ESSENTIAL TO UBER'S SUCCESS
Uber has said its ability to build autonomous cars is essential to its success in the rapidly changing transportation industry. The company envisions a network of autonomous cars that would be summoned through the Uber app that would supplement – and eventually replace – human-driven cars.

Uber has logged 2 million self-driving miles (3.2 million km) through December. The company has more than 100 autonomous cars testing on the roads of the greater Phoenix area, the company's prime testing ground due to the state's loose regulations and hospitable weather. Rain, snow and ice are particularly challenging for autonomous cars. The company also tests in Pittsburgh and Toronto.
Concerns over the safety of autonomous vehicles flared after a July 2016 fatality involving a Tesla Inc automobile with a partially autonomous system that required human supervision. Safety regulators later determined Tesla was not at fault.

Today I want to talk about my Valentine's day unit, that I use with my Kindergarten students. It is made up of printable Valentine's day worksheets and activities that help make the day special. It can be found at my TPT store here.
I love to celebrate the holidays with my students and one of the ways I do this is to create centers that incorporate the holiday theme, in this case, it's Valentine's day. Changing things up a bit keeps them engaged and curious and excited to try out the new centers.
One of the favorite activities included in this package, is the ABC cut and paste worksheet. To do this worksheet the kids cut out hearts with letters on them and then glue them in the correct Alphabetical order. I have included two versions of this activity, a simple one and a more complex one to challenge the kids.

A POLICE officer's daughter was wounded in a drive-by shooting at Barangay Tubigan, Zarraga, Iloilo on August 16, 2018.
Police Officer 1 (PO1) Edwin Maprangala and his common-law wife wondered why their 15-year-old daughter Ann-Ann, who was preparing for school, has not come out of her room yet at around 8 a.m. Thursday.
When the wife checked the room, they saw Ann-Ann's head bleeding.
Chief Inspector Stanley Mendoza, Zarraga police chief, said the couple thought the teenager fell off the bed and hit her head on the floor.
The victim was immediately rushed to the Metro Iloilo Hospital and Medical Center in Jaro Iloilo, City.
Physicians said Ann-Ann suffered a gunshot wound.
According to the father, they were unaware of the incident but they saw a bullet hole on their wall.
"We now weigh on the possibility that it could be a drive-by shooting," Mendoza said.
The Maprangala's house is less than 10 meters from the highway.
Recovered from the crime scene was an empty shell and live caliber .45 ammunition.
Maprangala was dismissed from service last month but he claims that he has recently reinstated.

standard	Quebec City, Canada – Landmarks And Information
March 3, 2011 By Alex WTA0 Comments
Quebec City is the oldest European settlements in North America. Quebec were created earlier than Quebec City. Quebec was founded by Samuel de Champlain, a French explorer and diplomat on July 3, 1608, and at the site of a long abandoned St. Lawrence Iroquoian settlement called Stadacona. Throughout its over four hundred years of existence, Quebec City has served as a capital. Quebec City is located in the Saint Lawrence River valley, on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River near its meeting with the St. Charles River. The river valley has rich, arable soil, which makes this region the most fertile in the province. The Laurentian Mountains lie to the north of the city.
Panorama Of Quebec City's Skyline
According to the 2006 census, there were 491,142 people residing in Quebec City proper, and 715,515 people in the city's census metropolitan area. Of the former total, 48.2% were male and 51.8% were female. Children under five accounted for approximately 4.7% of the resident population of Quebec City.
In Quebec City are a lot of attraction that you can't missed. Among them are:
Parliament Buildigs. The Parliament Building is an imposing structure comprising four wings that form a square of about 100 metres (330′) per side. With the central tower, the building stands at 52 metres or 171 feet in height. The Québec national flag, referred to as "fleurdelisé", has been flying from the central tower since 1948. From June 24 to September 6, 2009, the National Assembly offers visitors a number of activities to enable them to discover or rediscover the Québec Parliament Building as well as the history and mission of our parliamentary institutions.

St Johnstone boss Callum Davidson: We know we're in a fight and need to crack on
(Image credit: Willie Vass)
St Johnstone boss Callum Davidson insists his players realise they are in a fight ahead of their Scottish Premiership clash with Ross County.
Saints went on an 11-game unbeaten run after suffering a series of narrow defeats in the early part of the season.
But they have been drawn back into the bottom four ahead of Saturday's trip to Dingwall after taking one point from a possible 15.
County's surprise win over Hibernian in midweek, coupled with St Johnstone's goalless draw at home to Hamilton, left Saints just three points off the bottom.
Davidson told Saints TV ahead of the game: "They are all big just now. They are all really important. The players realise where we are.
"Over the Christmas period it hasn't been as good as we wanted, with three sendings-off and things that cost us in games.
"I actually think we have performed OK. I wouldn't say there is any difference between our (unbeaten) run and what we are on. It's just getting into that good habit again of scoring goals and not conceding them.
"Against Ross County I think it's going to be a very tough game.
"They are obviously fighting and scrapping as well, so we need to make sure we are up for the fight first and ready to go, and give ourselves a chance of getting something out the game."
Davidson told his side to "keep performing the way we are and score goals".
He added: "The attitude and application has been brilliant. Now we need to make sure we need to start converting our chances and give ourselves an opportunity to win games of football and climb the league.
"We can't feel sorry for ourselves. We know where we are, we are in a fight, we all know we are, and we need to crack on."

What Do Editors Want, Exactly?
by Lindsey Lucas
Submitting work is a scary process. It means putting the products of your time and effort out into the world to fend for themselves like baby birds leaving the nest for the first time… and the process is especially daunting when you find yourself wondering what it is the editor wants, exactly.
During our Wednesday staff meeting, we talked about the relationship that should exist between an author and their editor. We had all read part of Betsy Lerner's book The Forest for the Trees—Chapter 9 is called "What Editors Want." While Lerner mostly speaks of the competitive world of big book publishing, her ideas of the author/editor relationship can apply to anyone, even the staff of an undergraduate literary journal.
The question "what do editors want?" is difficult to answer, because editors want many things. Editors want "silver to polish;" work that is already good and can be made great. Editors want to land the next great novel. Editors want projects that will reward the time that is put into them, launching careers and making money for their publishing house.
What we decided in the end, though, comes back to that relationship between the editor and the author. While there are lots of career goals editors may be aiming for, they know they are almost impossible to accomplish without the right authors. The process that editors go through between finding work they want and actually publishing it is where this author/editor relationship comes into play. Editors want authors who are able to work in tandem with the editor to make their best work better.
For us at The Mochila Review, this means that our main job as editors is to work with our authors. Our goal is to help undergraduate writers fully realize the potential in their own work and get their best writing published. We hope that by aiming to put together a great literary journal, we can build working relationships with writers at the start of their careers and help them get started on their writing journey.

At the University of Maine's Center for Research on Sustainable Forests, a group of scientists from academia and private institutions have come together to form the Forest Climate Change Initiative (FCCI). The purpose of FCCI is to build connections among researchers, scientists, stakeholders, legislators, and the interested public on climate change issues around forests.
Despite the pandemic, 2020 has been a busy year for FCCI. With the Forest Stewards Guild's help, the group kicked off programming in February 2020 with an in-person science and practice forum at the University of Maine where 43 foresters and other natural resource professionals came together to:
Catalyze scientist-manager discussions about climate change research.
Begin growing Maine's forest climate adaptation community of practice.
Be an information source for the Maine Climate Council about Maine's forest and climate change.
The forum themes focused on ecology, operations, socioeconomics, and overall messaging about forests and climate change. Throughout the day-long event, participants discussed their highest priority concerns around climate change and low-hanging fruit that may quickly build resiliency in forest communities. These discussions resulted in a synthesis of findings from the forum (see table below).
Table: Synthesis of findings from February 2020, Science and Practice Forum at the University of Maine. The numbers under the "high priority" and "low hanging fruit" indicate how many votes each comment received by participants.
"The work of the FCCI is increasingly important in providing information and expertise on Maine forests and climate change," said University of Maine Distinguished Professor of the School of Forest Resources, Dr. Ivan Fernandez. A founding member of FCCI, Fernandez also serves on the Maine Climate Council and co-chairs the groups Scientific and Technical Subcommittee. "[These efforts are] particularly valuable for the work of the Maine Climate Council in the development of the Maine Climate Action Plan, and more importantly, in its implementation in the months and years ahead."
In the spring, FCCI researchers released a 2-page fact sheet on The State of Maine's Carbon Budget. The budget factors in all carbon emissions sources to the net uptake of carbon by forests, wetlands, agriculture, and urban environments. According to the fact sheet, "~25% of the 4.9 MMTC/year emitted on average from fossil fuels in Maine is effectively contributed to the atmosphere after accounting for sources and sinks in the state's lands and waters… Maine's net emissions are estimated to be approximately 1.2 MMTC/year." This finding indicates that about 75% of Maine's carbon emissions are sequestered by either forestland, wetlands, agriculture, or urban environments. Most of the carbon uptake occurs in Maine's vast forestlands.
In the late summer, FCCI researchers released a report on Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) for Maine's forest and agricultural sectors. In this study, NCS address ways our forests and farms can store more carbon and build resilience to the risks of a changing climate. The report highlights the costs and effectiveness of various NCS approaches compared to standard business-as-usual practices. In the coming months, the team will meet and survey forest owners, large commercial potato and blueberry growers, and operators of small diversified family farms about how well the identified solutions can work in the real world. The research is slated to be completed by spring 2021, when findings, data, and information, including a fact sheet of benefits and costs of NCS alternatives, will be made available.

This fall, FCCI advances its outreach and education efforts with the Forest Stewards Guild's help by developing and delivering an interactive webinar series for stakeholders and the interested public. Science and Practice: Addressing Forest Climate Change in Maine webinars take place the first Wednesday of each month at noon with a panel of researchers, scientists, and stakeholders tackling climate change issues and how it is influencing Maine's forests and forest economy. Topics include impacts on forest health, recreational use, forest management, biodiversity and pests, and the role of carbon and greenhouse gases.
The webinar series aims to build a community of practitioners who work in Maine's forested landscape that better understands all the information surrounding climate change and its impact on Maine's forests. "UMaine's FCCI is leading the way in connecting the vast world of climate science with boots-on-the-ground forest managers," said Amanda Mahaffey, Deputy Director of the Forest Stewards Guild. "The FCCI events and resources keep this growing work meaningful, relevant, and engaging. The Forest Stewards Guild is excited to share this work in the community of practice in New England and well beyond."
Two webinars have occurred since October. The first, "Risky Wood Vs. Safe Wood," with the University of Maine's Forest Manager Keith Kanoti, focused on harvest operation planning under changing weather conditions. The session included a virtual field tour, in which Kanoti walks viewers through a harvest site where he took special care to ensure water resource protection. November's webinar on "Carbon Budget, Management, and Credits featured Dr. Adam Daigneault, Assistant Professor of Forest Conservation & Recreation Policy, and Dr. Dan Hayes, Associate Professor of Geospatial Analysis and Remote Sensing. They shared where Maine stacks up with the rest of the nation on net carbon emissions and how they calculated those emissions and uptake values. Each webinar session concludes with a discussion with panelists based on questions asked by the audience.

Six more webinars are scheduled between December 2020 and May 2021. You can register for the series and review resources from past sessions by visiting the FCCI Webinar webpage. You can keep up to date with the Forest Climate Change Initiative by subscribing to their newsletter.
Center for Research on Sustainable Forests Director and FCCI Leader Aaron Weiskittel stated that "Maine has some exciting ideas and discussions on climate change currently. FCCI is trying to provide key connections to the actual ongoing science on climate change and maintain an open dialog on the topic. The positive response to FCCI has been rather reassuring and emphasizes the university's role."

Leibniz Programme for Women Professors
The Leibniz Association connects 95 independent research institutions that range in focus from the natural, engineering and environmental sciences via economics, spatial and social sciences to the humanities. Leibniz Institutes address issues of social, economic and ecological relevance. They conduct knowledge-driven and applied basic research, maintain scientific infrastructure and provide research-based services.
The Leibniz Association identifies focus areas for knowledge transfer to policy-makers, academia, business and the public. Leibniz institutions collaborate intensively with universities – in the form of "Leibniz ScienceCampi" (thematic partnerships between university and non-university research institutes), for example – as well as with industry and other partners at home and abroad.
They are subject to an independent evaluation procedure that is unparalleled in its transparency. Due to the importance of the institutions for the country as a whole, they are funded jointly by the Federation and the Länder, employing some 20,000 individuals, including 10,000 researchers. The entire budget of all the institutes is approximately 1.9 billion euros.
ANNOUNCEMENT: LEIBNIZ PROGRAMME FOR WOMEN PROFESSORS
The Leibniz Programme for Women Professors seeks to significantly increase the number of excellent female researchers in leading positions within the Leibniz Association's member institutes.

Blog > Merch > What´s hot: Money Heist alias La Casa de Papel
What´s hot: Money Heist alias La Casa de Papel
Can a European series now be successful worldwide without any Hollywood star? Netfilx´s Tvshow Money Heist ( La Casa de Papel) is proving us that it can.
Who would reject the offer for the robbery of the millennium? One witty gentleman, talking to El Professor, addressed selected criminals in Spain to the biggest theft ever – The aim is to occupy the Royal Mint and to print € 2.4 billion instead of theft without endangering a single life. In addition, spend in the Mint hostage 11 days – dressed in red overalls and in the mask of Salvador Dalí.
Eleven days in isolation
Their crazy plan includes hostages and perfect collaboration between team members named after world capitals (Tokyo, Helsinki, Moscow, Berlin …). But the police have their own procedures and the group is increasingly feeling insecure. For sure, eleven days is a very long time for something to go wrong!
The pilot episode doesn't lose time by explaining much – no introduction to characters and preparation for the event. The hot Spanish blood is waiting for nothing and the thieves are send straight into action! This keeps the show tense and it makes you very curious , as you will surely want to see how this crazy plan ends. So, although the pilot episode has 80 minutes, you won't be bored for a moment.
The series offers a very interesting insight of why this kind of robbery may actually work because of the long-term isolation and constant external presence of the police. What you need to do is is to get ordinary people on your side and convince them that they are doing the right thing. However, it does not work for everyone, and there are some mints among the hostages who have a different opinion.
The heroes get acquainted and the plan is explained retrospectively during the series. But only part of the story is always shown, we don't know anything that's not needed. But each bit raises other questions and keeps a dose of curiosity in you.
One of the most succesful shows from Netflix
Why is La casa de papel, how is the series called in the original, so great? It is a healthy combination of thriller and comedy that you will really enjoy. Interesting and crazy characters, a thoughtful story and easy plot twists will absorb up quickly and you won't be able to stop watching. The show is full of great visual impression and beautiful Spanish . The series is so popular that third season premiere in Milan was watched by over 5,000 people together at Piazza Affari.
The third series became the most watched non-English / non-American program on Netflix and became the 3rd most watched on Netflix ever after Stranger Things and Umbrella Academy. The IMDB has a rating of 8.5.
Series 4 will arrive on April 3, 2020. In addition, Netflix plans to release a documentary about the series's emergence and how it has become a global hit. Excited yet?

One of the most important and fascinating cultural attractions of Abu Dhabi is the Heritage Village. This is a re-creation of an Emirati village and demonstrates the Bedouin lifestyle in a lavish manner. This village gives us a clear insight of the pre-oil era of the UAE. This kind of lifestyle is still very much relevant in some parts of the iconic Arabian Peninsula. This village has been constructed on the Breakwater. You can simply walk along the Corniche and get an interesting view of this famous cultural site.
This village houses the main traditional elements of the Gulf life. It has a fort for repelling the invaders from the sea. It also has a mosque for the worshippers and a souk for the traders. Islam plays a very important role in the lives of the residents of this village. The Heritage Village has many fun elements that ensure you have an ideal time with your friends and family. You can do many fun things with your kids at this place. There are a plethora of Bedouin tents. Campfires are set here and the special Arabian tea is brewed up for the leisure of the visitors. There are also Arabian goats, horses, and camels on the display. Children can even get a ride on them. A lot of indigenous workers display their wares. Several indigenous artisans display their pottery work, weaving work and glass bowling work. Many times there are falconry demonstrations in this region. There are also some swordsmiths who will show you the art of honing blades or khanjar. Khanjars are extremely important instruments and are used in ceremonies and plays across the region.
The barasti (palm-leaf) house is the specialty of the Heritage Village. It has been designed and constructed in a manner that it catches and entraps the breeze and keeps the house cool. There are palm fronds, ancient irrigation system, an ox-drawn well and several plantations of Liwa Oasis and Al Ain.
There is also a traditional souk where you can find many interesting souvenirs. But for shopping in the souk of the Heritage Village, you must be equipped with very strong bargaining skills. You can find things like traditional clothing, silver jewelry, and handmade soap. All the items are readily affordable to a common man. Some special henna stalls have also been set up in the souk.
The museum of the Heritage Village is an iconic destination and must not be missed for anything in the world. It houses photographs of Abu Dhabi prior to the oil boom. The photographs depict how Abu Dhabi has evolved from a lolling pearl diving village to an illustrious and booming city of today. The museum also has some traditional weapons, the Holy Quran and some antique jewelry on the display. The museum in itself is huge and towering. It has good wind circulation and stays relatively cool.
The Heritage Village is claimed as a desert dissented region by most of its inhabitants. You will notice that many indigenous people still like returning to their grassroots by camping in simple goat-hair tents. These tents are symbolic of the Bedouin lifestyle of the village. Many families in the village own their desert farms. The camels of the respective families participate in different races. In fact, camel racing is one of the main interests of the Emiratis.
In the Heritage Village, you will also find an ethnic Arabian restaurant to satiate the demons of your stomach. The cooling tower is another specialty of the region. There is also a very iconic and beautiful area of the white sand beach. The turquoise waters, power boats, jet skis and water-front make sure that you spend a relaxing and enjoyable time with your friends and family. You can grab a drink or munch some snacks from the local stall owners on the beach. This beach is an ideal place to see the skyline of Abu Dhabi. There are also a few traditional dhows which can take you to the center of the blue waters. The gorgeous turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf are highly scenic and beautiful.
The Heritage Village is usually operational from Saturdays to Thursdays from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm and from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. On Fridays, it is functional from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Entrance is absolutely free. The classic Marina Mall is only a few minutes away from the village. You can have a fun time with your peers at this ethnic and traditional village. It is an ideal place to head to for some peace and solace.

Q: Angular 7 router transition animation triggered by scroll There is an application inwhich there are three simple component. I would like switch between the components by scrolling with route trasition animation.
The animation would be that the first component slide up and out, and a second component slide in from bottom. I know it's very similar to a simple webpage with anchors and scrolling up and down, but I would like to make this angular implementation.
I couldn't find any solution for now. Any idea of somebody?

A: I'm not sure but i think you can use scroll-behavior: smooth; css rule to a smooth scroll transition, if your components is on one page, and you have anchors. But with this option you need configurate the RouterModule.forRoot() with an extra config option, anchorScrolling: 'enabled'.
