The All Tomorrow's Parties festival is to offer fans the chance to curate its May 2007 weekend.
Every person buying a ticket to 'ATP vs. The Fans' will be asked to provide their Top Ten choice of bands to play the festival.
Groups already confirmed for the festival include Sparklehorse and Echo And The Bunnymen.
Any band can be placed in ticket holders' top tens, but the organisers have suggested only bands that are still in existence should be voted for. They also advised against choosing bands such as The Rolling Stones, due to the high fee they would be likely to charge.
The event will take place from May 18-20 at Butlins Holiday Resort in Minehead, Somerset.

Identity disks or tags were made of metal or fiber. Like the name suggests it, they were worn by soldier at all time to identify them if they were to be wounded or killed. On it, we would find important information such as the regimental number, the battalion, the last name and the initials. Sometimes, the rank and the religion of the serviceman would be inscribed on the ID disk.
This identity disk reads : " 26032 W.R. Duncan 14 Can BN P ". It was worn by William Reid Duncan who joined the 14th Battalion [The Royal Montreal Regiment] in September 1914 at the age of 30. Already a military man, he served ten years with the 6th Scottish Riffles before enrolling for the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Born in Coatbridge, Scottland he moved to Canada before the outbreak of World War I. The letter "P" at the end of disk stands for Presbyterian.
William Reid Duncan reached the rank of Sergeant and received a Distinguished Conduct Medal during the Summer of 1916, probably during the Battle of Mount Sorrel, in Belgium.
"For conspicuous gallantry in taking over command of his platoon after all his seniors had been killed or wounded and handling it with great coolness and courage under very heavy shell fire. He was badly wounded."

Never Quit! Abraham Lincoln's Greatest Legacy
Epic Lessons in Failure
My first year in college, I stumbled on a book titled Decision in Philadelphia. It's a dramatic non-fiction about the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention and the shortcomings of America's Founding Fathers who failed to abolish slavery or provide for women's rights. Years later, I was watching Steven Spielberg's Oscar-Winning film Lincoln, the crusade to end slavery and Civil War in America. Great movie! But in my humble opinion, it failed to scratch the surface of President Abraham Lincoln's arduous road to the White House, a story that every leader should be taught in grade school.
Lincoln's Legacy
Lincoln was born to humble and tragic beginnings. His parents were uneducated farmers. At age 7, his family was forced from their home. His father was illiterate and his mother died when he was 9. His only sister died in childbirth a few years later. His grandfather was killed when Lincoln was 23. At 24, Lincoln went bankrupt. He spent the next seventeen years paying off debts to friends and colleagues.
As a young man, Lincoln failed in business and couldn't get into law school. He is one of ten Unites States presidents who never graduated from college but studied law and became a lawyer.
In his 20s, Lincoln was twice defeated for state legislature. At 26, he was engaged, but his fiancé died. Lincoln had a nervous breakdown. At 33, he was married to Mary Todd. They had four sons but three died at ages 4, 11, and 18 (not uncommon in the 19th century for illnesses we easily treat today).
Lincoln's professional career was equally turbulent. At 29, he ran for speaker of the state legislature and was defeated. Once elected to state legislature, he was defeated several times running for Congress. At 45, he ran for Senate and lost. At 47, he ran for vice president and lost. At 49, he ran for Senate and lost again.
In spite of all the setbacks, Lincoln pressed on. Then in 1860, age 50, he ran for President. He won the election and changed the course of history. Today, Lincoln is the most quoted and revered of U.S. Presidents, fondly remembered as a statesman and civil-rights leader. If not for his assassination in 1865, he had so much more to teach. But that arduous road to the White House provides his most enduring legacy …
Never quit. Failure is your friend.

The Genius Gift of Thomas Edison – Limitation Inspires Innovation
In The 4 Essentials of Entrepreneurial Thinking, I wrote a chapter on famous failures, highlighting one of my first mentors, Thomas Edison. Ranked #1 in Life Magazine's hundred people who "made the millenium", Edison wasn't just a visionary inventor with over a thousand patents. He was the founder of fourteen companies and in every sense of the word, an entrepreneurial thinker who taught us that limitations inspire innovation.
In my study of Edison, I soon learned that there were few people who didn't fail big before achieving success. But there's a difference between those who fail and those who learn from experience. This was our greatest gift from Edison. After all, he didn't invent the light bulb. He made it long lasting after countless experiments. He didn't invent marketing but he understood the importance of solving a need. Technically deaf, he wasn't born with a silver tongue but was certainly famous for quotes.
"I have not failed. I have discovered 10,000 ways that won't work."
Ready … Set … Whoops?
In high school, I failed a chemistry exam and a friend called me "Edison." Knowing nothing about the famous inventor, I made a trek to the library assuming he was a gifted scientist. Boy was I wrong.
Edison was the youngest of seven children who didn't learn to speak until he was almost four. He was a hyper and inquisitive kid like me, and so disruptive, that an early teacher told his mother he was "too stupid to learn anything." She opted for home-schooling. Edison was not only considered dumb and dyslexic at an early age, he was technically deaf by his teenage years. His groundbreaking research in sound recordings with a hearing impairment was possible by inserting a piece of wood between his teeth in order to listen to vibrations.
"Deafness has its advantages." said Edison. "My own deafness enables me to
concentrate my thoughts as I'd never be able to do if distracted by noise and conversation."
His limitations clearly became his greatest assets. Today, insight to Edison legacies such as the phonograph, electric automobile, and long-lasting light bulbs, can be found through the Edison Innovation Foundation where his personal letters and company records still exist. From his factory of workers, thousands of notebooks were discovered, documenting everything from inventions to business theories and marketing ideas. At the core, we find a system of intelligent failure and resolve. And in his whimsical quotes, we find oceans of inspiration.
"Hell, there are no rules here … we're trying to invent something."
Edison was known to dance when experiments failed, working into the night with teams who shared his passion. We see the same principles in highly innovative corporate cultures who compete in the 21st century. So whether you're a student, artist, tech wiz, small biz guru or global leader, the Edison thinking model proves that limitation is your inspiration for innovation.

Harvard Joe & The Fisherman | Essential 1, Skill 1: Define Success
What's Your Definition of the Good Life? World Peace ~ Love & Laughter ~ Art & Innovation ~ Giving & Gratitude ~ Friends & Family ~ Money & Fame ~ A Healthy Mind, Body & Soul?
Fifteen years before I wrote The 4 Essentials of Entrepreneurial Thinking, a friend sent me a fable about how we define success. I included the principle in my book as Skill #1. Hybrids of the famous story floated on the Internet for decades, written by countless poets with themes from pirate's tale to Buddhist myth. Curious to its origin, I stumbled upon a German writer named Heinrich Böll, a Nobel Prize winner who wrote a parable in 1963 about a traveling businessman who attempts to lecture a humble fisherman about success. Instead, the biz guru learns a valuable life lesson from the fisherman.
A modern version of the fable written in 1996 is titled "The Mexican Fisherman" by Dr. Mark Albion, a former Harvard business professor. In 2009, Mark changed the title to "The Good Life." When I told Mark about The 4 Essentials, he graciously approved my spin on the famous fisherman's tale. I hope you enjoy it …
Harvard Joe and the Fisherman by Cliff Michaels
After graduating from Harvard Business School, an American stock broker named Joe decided to take a vacation. He chose a small island, famous for a quiet and friendly fishing village. If only to take his mind off work a few days, Joe vowed he would fish a little and avoid the money-talk so prevalent on Wall Street.
On his first vacation day, Joe strolled the beach. He spotted a small fishing boat coming into shore. Inside the boat were a lone fisherman and a fresh catch of large yellowfin tunas. Dozens of tourists were handing over cash as the fisherman docked his boat. Joe was so impressed, he complimented the fisherman and asked how long it took to catch so many beautiful fish. "Not long," said the fisherman. "The supply is endless in this treasure cove."
"Why don't you stay out longer and catch more fish?" asked Joe. "You would certainly make more money in such rich waters."
The fisherman smiled and said, "Oh, I catch more than enough to support my family and lifestyle."
"But what do you do with the rest of your time?" asked Joe.
The fisherman replied, "I read, nap, and play with my daughters. Some days I teach kids how to fish. Other days I play soccer with school children. In the afternoons, I stroll into the village where I sip wine with my lovely wife and play guitar with my friends. Most nights we cook fish and share recipes with tourists."
"Wow, you have tons of free time!" said Joe. "Listen, I have an MBA. I can help you vastly expand your business. If you simply spend more time fishing, you would earn enough money to buy a bigger boat."
"Really?" asked the fisherman.
"Absolutely," said Joe. "And with a bigger boat, you could catch enough fish to buy several boats and then a whole fleet. At that point you would be successful enough to sell directly to a processor, cut out the middleman, and vastly increase profits. Then you could open your own cannery and control distribution."
"Then what?" asked the fisherman.
"If all goes well, you'll find yourself in a big city, running a rapidly expanding empire," said Joe.
"How long would all this take?" asked the fisherman.
"Not long at all. Maybe 7 years," replied Joe."With me as your CEO, I'll bet we can do it in 5 years if we hustle. I'm all about the hustle!"
Joe grinned and said, "When the time is right, we could take the company public or sell to the highest bidder. At that point, you would be very rich — a millionaire many times over."
"Really? A millionaire? Then what?" asked the fisherman.
"What do you mean?" asked Joe.
"I mean, what would I do if I was a millionaire?" asked the fisherman.
"Whatever you like," said Joe. "You could retire, move to a coastal village, fish a little, play with your kids … sip wine at night with your wife … play guitar with friends … and …"
Without another word, Joe and the fisherman shared a good laugh. The fisherman then invited Joe to return for dinner. By sunset, the fisherman had built a small fire to share his catch-of-the-day with tourists. Joe arrived just in time for the most scrumptious fish he ever tasted. As the sun faded, Joe and his new friends sang along to soothing sound of the fisherman's guitar."Ahhh," Joe whispered. "The good life."
From Harvard Joe to the island fisherman, success means different things to different people at different stages in life. Kids dream of becoming an artist, athlete, or rock῾n' roller. Athletes hope to break records and win championships. Parents want the very best opportunities for their kids. Third-world villagers need food, shoes, clothing, shelter, education, medicine, and clean water. Volunteers and social entrepreneurs measure success by giving back. We all search for love, health, and happiness. Clearly, definitions vary. But successful people share a common thread. They define success with purpose behind passion and a journey without compromise. At some point, we all have to define it.
Are you there yet?

How to Unleash Your Entrepreneurial Soul
In The 4 Essentials of Entrepreneurial Thinking, I set out to dispel a few myths about born entrepreneurs and the genius-at birth-theory. I analyzed innate talent, I.Q vs E.Q, great teachers, supportive parents, private coaching, soci0-economic advantages, and the value of a college degree. While each of these are a substantial leg-up, well-educated and privileged people often fail miserably in life, careers or business. We also know underprivileged people who came from poverty, had life trauma, or physical and emotional challenges, and managed to excel (Oprah, Richard Branson, Jackie Robinson, Thomas Edison, Helen Keller, Steve Jobs, The Beatles).
We can draw only one conclusion … From classroom to boardroom and battle field to playing field, we're all entrepreneurs.
Be it an artist, athlete, high-tech CEO, or barista in a coffee shop, each of us is destined to boldly go where others only dream once we tap into the entrepreneur's mindset. Yes, we all have it. We've all lied awake at night with a driving force that says, "There's a better way." At the core is imagination and a mission to improve the human experience. For most leaders in their field, the inspirational spark wasn't a gift at birth. It came from a poet, book, movie, friend, parent, musician, or teacher. Sure, Mozart was extraordinarily musical, Bruce Lee was freakishly Kinesthetic, and Picasso was, well, Picasso. But each of us has a unique spark … and it can ignite with the simplest questions:
What if ? Why not ? When can we start ? Who do we know that's been down this road?
What worked? What didn't? What lessons were learned? What's the best use of my time?
Highly successful people master these questions, then focus on their unique abilities. And you'll never ask a silly question like, "Will I need to work overtime?" The answer is, "You bet! You'll work your ass off! At that moment of clarity, you'll unleash your entrepreneurial soul!

I do recommend that, not withstanding the conclusions I have reached there still remains the need for there to be regular meetings between the Authority and the Trust and the Environment Agency to ensure that if any future work is contemplated then it is done so in an open and transparent manner.
We cannot appeal to the Government Ombudsman as "We do not have a financial interest"
Justin Albert head of the National Trust in Wales has given blanket permission to demolish listed structures in the care of the National Trust around the Coast of Wales, with no regard to the historic and cultural values of the historic structures.
His justification is compliance with the Government policy of Managed Retreat,the abandonment of coastal defence structures on the grounds of costs.
The relevant Planning Authority appears not to have been consulted,or perhaps consulted informally and the public are only aware after the demolition by stealth has been carried out.
After the present governments cuts and reorganisation of government bodies not one has the legal responsibility to enforce the relevant laws.
The labyrinthine lawyers paradise created by unthought out new legislation has allowed untold damage to be done our heritage in this last year.
The National Trust is driven to raise revenue by cutting costs, the environment is low on their list of priorities, wildlife is no longer their concern.
The relevant EU Legislation is ignored, this is a critical stage change of priorities within the National Trust.
The intrusion and damage is ignored and is accelerating to carry out destruction before we can change legislation.
I have fully documented with dated photographic evidence of the progression of the unlawful activities in South Pembrokeshire, with FOI print outs of internal emails from all the parties.

Young India shooter Anish Bhanwala targets gold at Asian Games
Associated Press / 06:01 PM August 10, 2018

At 15 and still at high school, Anish was India's youngest gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast in April when he won the 25-meter rapid fire pistol shooting event in a meet record.

Anish Bhanwala
is already considered something of a golden boy in the Indian contingent for the Asian Games.
At 15 and still at high school, he was India's youngest gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast in April when he won the 25-meter rapid fire pistol shooting event in a meet record.
He had to tone down the celebrations to study for exams, but he's back on target in competition now as part of India's 524-strong delegation for the Aug. 18-Sept. 2 Asiad in the Indonesian cities of Jakarta and Palembang.
Anish already has won a number of other international titles, including the ISSF Junior World Championship and the Commonwealth Shooting Championship last year and the ISSF Junior World Cup this year.
Anish comes from a middle-class family which didn't have any background in the sport, but took an interest in shooting after starting to train for the multi-discipline modern pentathlon. His father bought him a second-hand pistol and his career took off from there. The youngster moved in 2014 from Haryana to settle in Delhi, where he has the best facilities for practice.
While Anish and another rising star, Manu Bhaker made the squad in pistol events, there were contentious selections with former World No. 1 Heena Sidhu missing some events, and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Gagan Narang missing out on the squad entirely.
India expects to pick up medals in the shooting, and is hoping for gold in field hockey, one of its traditionally powerful sports.
Skipper Rani Rampal is hoping her women's hockey team can pick its first major games gold medal since the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
Rani, who became the youngest to play for a senior India team when she made her debut at 13 in 2008, was inspired to play the game after watching the Bollywood movie Chak de India — made in 2007 and based on India's gold medal in Manchester.
Since then, she has played an important role in India's team, including its run to qualifying for Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016, ending a 36-year absence.
The Indian women went close to a medal at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast but lost to Australia in the semifinals and were edged by England in the bronze playoff.
"Since the time I made it to the Indian team, I wanted to replicate the 2002 Commonwealth Games performance," Rani has said recently. "I know winning gold in the Asian Games will not be an easy task … top podium finish in Indonesia will give us a direct entry to 2020 Tokyo Olympics and it will be a help for us to prepare better for the Olympics."
Compound archery is the other event in Jakarta where India is likely to dominate, having won all four events in the compound section when the category was introduced in Incheon four years ago.
"They have some experienced archers like Abhishek Verma and Rajat Chauhan but at the same time the youngsters also shot consistently. The level we reached was very high," star Italian star archer Sergio Pagni, who has been working with the Indian archers since January, has been quoted as saying. "I'm really proud of this group, they are all world class. I am sure that they will come out with flying colors from the Games."
Sushil Kumar has been waiting a long time for an Asian Games gold medal. He won bronze in 2006 but nothing at the regional meet since, despite winning a world title and picking up two Olympic medals. He won a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in April in a promising return to competition and believes he can replicate his performance at Jakarta.
"I am in form now," said Sushil, who is took silver in the 66-kilogram category at the London Olympics and will be competing in the 74-kilogram division in Indonesia. "I always think my competitor is neither big nor small, neither junior nor senior. Whoever is opposite me must always be good enough (to compete)."
Rio Olympics freestyle bronze medalist Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia, a silver medal winner in the Asian Games four years ago, are also contending for wrestling medals for India.
Badminton made its debut at the Asian Games when Jakarta last hosted the event in 1962. It is one of the sports in which India is expected to compete for medals against the regional heavyweights.
P. V. Sindhu, Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth are in the squad, and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Ashwini are India's best bet in mixed doubles. They played the quarterfinals at the Worlds before being beaten by the top-seeded Chinese pair Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong.
While India is anticipating a rich haul of medals, neighboring Pakistan may struggle for medals at Jakarta.
Pakistan had to reduce its Asian Games contingent to 245 because of financial constraints of its government. The Pakistan Olympic Association also said that several athletes will be funded by their respective sports federations.
Wrestler Inam Butt, who won gold at the Commonwealth Games in April, was considered the country's brightest prospect for gold but he pulled out because of a knee injury.
Sri Lanka last time won two medals at last Asian Games, both in cricket. But cricket isn't on the competition program this time and the 185-member Sri Lankan contingent's best hopes of medals are in boxing, weightlifting and golf.
Transfer flurry in EPL for every team apart from Tottenham

Based on an account of how two classes of primary five students in Singapore engage in the learning of English, Mathematics and Science by playing the role of global citizens, the paper suggests an alternative but realistic approach to teaching global citizenship education. Set against the back story of Atlantis facing ecological, social and cultural decay due to the blind pursuit of prosperity and modernisation by its rulers, each student became a quester called on to save Atlantis. Throughout the mission they were presented with different problems in Atlantis (similar to existing global issues) and were expected to research and suggest solutions to the problems by alone or with fellow questers. These problems were tied to the primary five English, Mathematics and Science curriculum. Through documenting and making sense of these activities via observations, interviews and pre-post questionnaire surveys, the paper shows how the new approach may enhance the learning engagement, academic motivation and social commitments among the students. We also explore the sustainability and scalability of such an approach in the school system and highlight constraints. The paper then draws implications for global citizenship education in schools that include designing a meaningful context for engaged learning in schools with components of global citizenship, developing a research culture in schools as a stepping stone for global citizenship education and building capacity of teachers and school leaders in global citizenship.

Abstract: Software solutions are not effective to be used in network applications because of their low throughput. By employing hardware implementation on FPGA, not only sufficient flexibility is achieved but also the throughput is increased considerably. In this paper, two multi-core architectures are proposed for Bloom filter and CRC as two main network processing core functions. These architectures called multi-core architecture with shared queue and multi-core architecture with private queue. The proposed architectures are implemented for 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 cores. Experimental results show that multi-core architecture with private queue achieves higher throughput In comparison to the other one. …As compared to Bloom filter, CRC application leads to less computational load and consequently more throughput. Moreover, Bloom filter is implemented on GPU and CPU and the results are compared with each other. When number of packets in GPU memory is 16384, the speedup achieved by GPU implementations using CUDA is about 274 times compared with CPU implementations. However, FPGA results outperform GPU, so that the throughput of the first architecture (shared queue) and second architecture (private queue) with 16 cores are almost 5.5 and 7.1 times higher than GPU throughput, respectively.

Routing in a many-to-one communication scenario in a realistic VDTN
Authors: Bylykbashi, Kevin | Spaho, Evjola | Barolli, Leonard | Xhafa, Fatos
Abstract: In this paper, we evaluate and compare the performance of different routing protocols in a many-to-one communication within a Vehicular Delay Tolerant Network (VDTN). Seven groups with three stationary sensor nodes sense the temperature, humidity and wind speed and send these data to a stationary destination node that collect them for statistical and data analysis purposes. Vehicles moving in Tirana city roads in Albania during the opportunistic contacts will exchange the sensed data to destination node. The simulations are conducted with the Opportunistic Network Environment (ONE) simulator. For the simulations we considered two different scenarios where the distance of the …source nodes from the destination is short and long. For both scenarios the effect of node density, ttl and node movement model is evaluated. The performance is analyzed using delivery probability, overhead ratio, average latency, average number of hops and average buffer time metrics. The simulation results show that the increase of node density increases the delivery probability for all protocols and both scenarios, and better results are achieved when shortest-path map-based movement model is used. The increase of ttl slightly affects the performance of all protocols. By increasing the distance between source nodes and destination node, delivery probability is decreased almost 10% for all protocols, the overhead for sprayandwait protocol does not change, but for other protocols is slightly increased and the average number of hops and average latency is increased.

DEEP: Distance and encounter based energy-efficient protocol for opportunistic networks
Authors: Dhurandher, Sanjay Kumar | Borah, Satya J. | Woungang, Isaac | Tibarewal, Suryansh | Barolli, Leonard
Abstract: Designing a routing protocol for opportunistic networks (OppNets) is a challenging task due to node's mobility and the lack of further knowledge about the network topology and the presence or not of an end-to-end path. This paper proposes an energy efficient routing protocol called Distance and Encounter based Energy-Efficient Protocol (DEEP), in which the selection of the best next hop forwarder for a message relies on the node's energy. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms E-Prophet, E-PRoWait and E-EDR, our energy-aware implementations of the Probabilistic Routing Protocol using History of Encounters and Transitivity (so-called Prophet), Probability-based controlled flooding …in opportunistic networks (so-called PRoWait), and Encounter and Distance based Routing (so-called EDR) routing protocol, in terms of node's residual energy, number of dead nodes, message delivery probability, and message latency.

Adaptive spectrum allocation algorithm for elastic optical networks with multicasting
Authors: Alyatama, Anwar
Abstract: The rapid change in traffic behavior and the tremendous growth in bandwidth demand have promoted the development of a new generation of optical networks known as elastic optical networks (EONs). EONs provide scalable, flexible, and efficient assignment of network resources. Spectrum allocation is one of the most important factors in the success of EONs. In this study, we propose an adaptive spectrum allocation algorithm for EONs in the case of multicasting. The algorithm is based on relative cost and learning automata to produce a near-optimal searching sequence of the optical spectrum. The algorithm estimates the net margin of carrying a …call at a set of contiguous frequency slots on subsequent (future) call arrival. This margin will be used to sort the spectrum frequencies. Simulation results show that our algorithms outperform existing algorithms and provide savings for the normalized revenue loss of up to 50% over the static first-fit spectrum allocation algorithm.

Investigation on resource scheduling with coexistence of unicast and multicast services in LTE OFDMA system
Authors: Fouziya Sulthana, S. | Nakkeeran, R. | Shaffath Hussain Shakir, S. | Rajesh, A.
Abstract: Multicasting is an effective method of transmitting the group messages that results in minimal utilization of network resources. But in real scenario, both unicast and multicast services are to be served by the evolved Node B (eNB). So an appropriate resource allocation method should be adopted to satisfy the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of these services. This paper focuses on resource allocation method for Long Term Evolution (LTE) downlink when these services are scheduled by the eNB. To improve the system throughput, an objective function is formulated that maximizes the throughput of both unicast and multicast services. The multicast …group is in turn divided into subgroups and the subgrouping allocation is carried out by means of Genetic Algorithm (GA) that aims to maximize the total throughput. It is shown that multicast with subgrouping shows 20% increase in the total throughput and 3% reduction in average delay when compared with combined unicast and conventional multicasting method that uses Least Channel Gain (LCG) user rate for multicast transmission.

Nonparametric CUSUM based cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks
Authors: Miao, Jingcheng | Song, Xiaoou
Abstract: In cognitive radio (CR) networks, it is crucial for secondary users to quickly detect spectrum holes when prior information of primary users is unknown. This paper proposes a new cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) scheme based on nonparametric cumulative sum (NCUSUM) to reduce the mean detection delay under the condition of unknown prior information. The proposed scheme consists of secondary users and fusion center. Secondary users preprocess the observation data of spectrum to get positive drifts and negative drifts and only transmit positive drifts to fusion center. Fusion center uses the NCUSUM to accumulate positive drifts to make a fast decision …about whether the primary signal is present or not. To ensure the false alarm probability low enough, this scheme notes that the decision can be made in certain time interval. The simulation results show that the proposed cooperative spectrum sensing scheme has better performance in reducing mean detection delay with respect to conventional soft combination schemes.

...and I sat there for nearly ten minutes, my mouse hovering over "Save and Exit". I could not bring myself to press that button.
It's not Facebook; over the past couple of years I've learned to appreciate the ability to, at any given time, type in a URL and immediately be engaged in a simple gaming experience. I frequent at least half-a-dozen games at any given time, obsessively hopping in during rare moments of free time to spend a few arbitrary points on limited actions. I like it like that.
It's not Zynga. At least two of the FarmVille creators' are regularly in my rotation.
Is it The Ville itself, a shameless attempt to copy the success of EA's The Sims Social? I'm not above a good clone; hell, I'm currently engrossed in SimCity Social, a clone of Zynga's own CityVille, which in turn took inspiration from the SimCity series proper.
No, it was the experience itself. As I prepared to go deep into another energy-based social gaming experience I paused and reflected. Another cartoon character avatar. Another series of tasks doled out by colorful picture of people on the side of the screen. Another non-threatening instrumental piece, bubbling over with hopeful potential.
I guess I've just had my fill.
I let the music play for another hour before finally closing the window.
It's not you, The Ville. You could be the greatest game ever to grace Facebook.
I'm just not in any hurry to find out.

Q: Where can arbitrary exceptions during WebSocket connections in Autobahn be caught in the Python code? I have created a Python program that uses Autobahn to make WebSocket connections to a remote host, and receive a data flow over these connections.
From time to time, some different exceptions occur during these connections, most often either an exception immediately when attempting to connect, stating that the initial WebSocket handshake failed (most likely due to an overloaded server), like this:

2017-05-03T20:31:10 dropping connection to peer tcp:1.2.3.4:443 with abort=True: WebSocket opening handshake timeout (peer did not finish the opening handshake in time)

Or a later exception during a successful and ongoing connection, saying that the connection timed out due to lack of pong response to a ping, as follows:

2017-05-04T13:33:40 dropping connection to peer tcp:1.2.3.4:443 with abort=True: WebSocket ping timeout (peer did not respond with pong in time)
2017-05-04T13:33:40 session closed with reason wamp.close.transport_lost [WAMP transport was lost without closing the session before]
2017-05-04T13:33:40 While firing onDisconnect: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Python36\lib\site-packages\txaio\aio.py", line 450, in done
f._result = x
AttributeError: attribute '_result' of '_asyncio.Future' objects is not writable

As can be seen above, this also triggers some other strange exception in the txaio module in this particular case.
No matter what kind of exception that occurs, I would like to catch them and handle them gracefully, but for some reason the exceptions (none of them) seem to bubble up to the code that initiated these connections (i.e. get caught by my try ... except clause there), which looks like this:
from autobahn.asyncio.wamp import ApplicationSession
from autobahn.asyncio.wamp import ApplicationRunner

...

class MyComponent(ApplicationSession):

...

try:
    runner = ApplicationRunner("wss://my.websocket.server.com:443", "realm1")
    runner.run(MyComponent)
except Exception as e:
    print('Unexpected connection error')
    ...

Instead, all these exceptions just hang my program completely after the error messages have been dumped out to the terminal as above, why is this?
So, the question is: How and where in the code can I catch these exceptions that occur during the WebSocket connections in Autobahn, and react/handle them gracefully?

President Bush had this entrenched notion about an 'Ownership Society,' that Americans thrive when they own their own home, coupled with an absolute conviction that markets do best when left alone and with government regulation decreased.
President-elect Obama, like FDR during the Great Depression, has understood the need to create a federal economic stimulus package to both create and preserve jobs in an economy which has tanked.
Once baseball was a game. Now, as the fear of a major recession grows, it's about the color of money, or moneyball, as played by the New York Yankees.
Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, 51, is moving fast to convince both Democrats and strong rivals with famous political names she has the 'right stuff' to succeed Hillary Clinton as the junior U.S. Senator from New York.
Aides to President-elect Obama will release a report this week absolving incoming White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel of any impropriety in his contacts with disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
The Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Team on Dec. 18 made available to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) entered into with the William J. Clinton Foundation and the Office of the President-Elect on Dec. 12.
The New York Times Magazine will publish a long profile of Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs this Sunday. It's flattering and indicative of how protective he is of the message of the soon-to-be president.
Two significant political developments involving California Democrats, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Xavier Becerra, took place on Tuesday.
The Blagojevich play-for-pay Senate scandal has been poorly handled by President-elect Obama even though special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald specifically exonerated him from any wrong doing.
To be blunt Obama's talk about his commitment to transparency badly missed the mark.
The political world remains focused on the Blagojevich scandal but average Americans are more concerned about how a major recession, job security, layoffs may affect their lives.
Paul Krugman, the Nobel economics prize winner, receives his $1.4 million award today at a ceremony in Stockholm. On Sunday he offered reporters a chilling assessment that the beleaguered U.S. auto industry will likely disappear.
The United States has had 46 vice presidents since John Adams served under President George Washington from 1789-97.
After today's exclusive taped interview on "Meet the Press" with President-elect Obama, Tom Brokaw announced this was his "last Sunday" and fast rising NBC News star David Gregory would succeed Tim Russert.
David Gregory, long a rising star and the network's longtime chief White House correspondent, will be the new moderator of "Meet the Press," one of television's most prized franchises.
Lame-duck George W. Bush was unusually reflective in interviews with ABC's Charlie Gibson aboard Marine One and at Camp David, calling intelligence failures in Iraq the "biggest regret" of his presidency.
Some true believers think that Bill and Hillary Clinton will never abandon their remote dream of a White House restoration despite a possible Obama presidency ending in 2016.

Numerology and the Number 9
December 5, 2019 admin 0 Comments numerology, numerology no 4 personality, numerology number 5 personality, numerology number 6 personality, numerology number 7 personality, numerology number 8 personality, numerology number 9 personality
The number 9 relating to a balanced numerological personality or cyclical timing energy is most often associated with tolerance, generosity, forgiveness, passion, creative energy, success, romance, benevolence, and a deep love of life. Nine energy flows like water and is reflective of universal love.
Like all numbers, it also has an over-balanced side including energies such as hedonism, resentment, dejection, hostility, lack of integrity, prejudice, self-centeredness, and emotional volatility.
Under-balanced 9 energy includes such things as a hazy disposition, life as a drifter, an overly-detached disposition, apathy, confusion, impracticality, and submission.
Those who largely lack the number 9 throughout their comprehensive charts commonly endure earthly lessons involving learning about unconditional love, compassion, tolerance, and emotional maturity. This person will be at a community gathering, for example, and while all in attendance naturally feel a heart connection with everyone else, he's uncomfortably disconnected and feels like an extraterrestrial in left field. He's here to learn about humanity as if he's had too many lifetimes in other, less emotionally based realms and planets.
Like its cousin, the number 7, 9 is one of the most spiritual numbers. It's firmly related to prophesy, intuition, psychic flashes, clairvoyance, and inborn wisdom. Unlike 7, 9 has fleeting, vague impressions that vanish upon trying to weigh and analyze them. It's like the energy associated with the number 9 offers incredible insight, but at the same time it's telling you "sure, have a feel for it, but you're not allowed to scrutinize it too much." It's all right there for the 9, but it's not forever. Easy come, easy go, deep inspiration, broad visualizations, and unpredictability are key phrases for 9.
Also like 7, cheating, trickery, and an overly-aggressive and excessively selfish disposition can easily ruin everything. Dragging spiritual numbers such as 7, 9, 11, 22, etc., through negative karma-inducing behavior is flirting with disaster. Drug and, or alcohol problems, or otherwise over-indulging is also the demise of the 9.
9 represents more than an average share of relationship problems. Attracting troubled relationships is a common theme under the 9. Drawing those to you who have integrity and, or honesty problems while you are under strong 9 timing is par for the course, as is finding yourself with a (vs. "the", as balanced 9 is always open to more love) love of your life. Whether you experience bliss, endure tragedy or circuit through a combination of both, depends on your collective natal and timing indicators.
Under heavy 9 cyclical timing, romance can be wonderful, even though it usually leaves you sooner than expected. 9 does in fact heavily represent rewards in life. It is symbolic of all the good things in life, such as friendship, love and other intangibles. 9 is golden in this respect and makes you feel that all else is tin.
During times ruled by potent 9, you'll finally vent those long-repressed emotions, yet you'll also find yourself strengthening your emotional maturity. You finally forgive those from the past.
Recognition and even fame is easy under the 9. It's your time to experience the glory that escaped you in previous incarnations. Money can certainly be sweet too, but make sure to protect it because it can leave you just as easily as it flows to you while basking in the 9.
9 is "people person" energy, and even though those with heavy 9 are very personable and find harmony in everything, it's often of the more impersonal variety where you sense humanitarianism, but it's like they're only willing to offer some of it to you.
Though 9 is liberal, charitable, and altruistic, don't count on someone with heavy natal 9 to give you an accurate analysis. They will tell you, "Hey man, this idea seems cool," then point to another, totally opposing concept and say the same thing. Yes, those with a lot of 9 are frequently non-judgmental, but there's too often a lack of a healthy sense of discernment. They will also often appear to have strong convictions, but inwardly they waver
Hundreds of personality and timing indicators comprise the various charts of a typical comprehensive numerology system. Patterns (i.e., multiple corroborating aspects) signify character, life events and circumstances, although single aspects also hold significance.
The Day of Birth number is, by itself, a very important timing and natal consideration. The 9 as a Day of Birth number is frequently rewarding for those in the following lines of work: the arts, film, music, occult, teaching, writing, metaphysics, diplomacy, philosophy, managing people, travel, hospitality, counseling, therapy, and creative endeavors.

Hey, remember that Moon Nazi movie with the soundtrack by Laibach? Well, they're making a sequel.
On June 17, 2013 By weirdestbandIn Weird News
Last year, we told you about an amazing indie sci-fi film from Finland called Iron Sky that featured music by military-industrial rockers Laibach and a story about a secret Nazi base on the moon. Well, the film was such an international success that they've decided to make a sequel—and this time, it's personal they need your help to fund it.
Yes, for Iron Sky: The Coming Race, the filmmakers have taken to the crowdfunding site Indiegogo to raise $150,000 worth of seed money for what they hope will eventually be a $15 million budget (which sounds like a lot but is still about 1/20th what they spent on Iron Man 3). Backers of the film can score such goodies as T-shirts, posters and even a first draft of the script, all the way up to all-access set visits and a speaking role in the trailer. So far they're still about $110,000 short of their goal, with only 13 days of fundraising left—so pony up, people! (Although, unlike Kickstarter, projects that don't hit their fundraising goals on Indiegogo get to keep the money—so don't worry, those crazy Iron Sky kids will be fine even if they fall short.)
According the filmmakers, Laibach is already on board to do the soundtrack, as are the original writers, director and special effects folks. What the storyline will be is anyone's guess—so far, they've just released some mysterious artwork depicting what appears to be some kind of high-tech outpost in the middle of a lush wilderness, with the tag line, "From the ashes of mankind, a new breed of superiority will rise." Does that mean more Nazis? Or something else? We'll just have to wait and see.
So head over to Indiegogo to pledge your support, and enjoy the Indiegogo teaser video starring director Timo Vuorensola and some North Korean soldieresses I would not want to mess with.

Iwrestledabearonce release first studio track featuring Courtney LaPlante: "Thunder Chunky"


Why should I pay attention to a small, winged mammal called the Northern long-eared bat? And what does white-nose syndrome have to do with me or my practice? Well, the answer is that you or your clients might run afoul of the Endangered Species Act and that could affect whether or not a project moves forward or, worse yet, it could subject them to monetary or even criminal penalties.
Years ago, few people knew of a common visitor to area woods and neighborhoods. However, because of an insidious disease that irritates its hibernating colonies, the Northern long-eared bat has become newsworthy. More important, it has become a significant consideration for conducting such mundane tasks as routine summer maintenance work and can be detrimental to developers and others.
On Jan. 14, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service listed this type of bat as "Threatened" under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). So what does this mean? And why is such a common, insect-eating inhabitant to our community in danger of extinction?

Papier und Form by Kurt Londenberg, 1963
'Papier und Form' by Kurt Londenberg was published by Scherpe Verlag in Krefeld in 1963.
The work contains information about the history of paperfolding design in Germany, an essay on design by Josef Albers and many photographs of sculptural works / designs made from paper. Only the information about paperfolding history is reproduced on this page.
A full copy of the work can be accessed online here.
An exhibition catalogue of just 29 pages, of the same title, but subtitled 'Versuche und Anwendungen an der Staatliche Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg' (Experiments and applications at the State University of Fine Arts in Hamburg) , was published in May / June 1961 in Hamburg. The 1963 work appears to be an expansion of that catalogue.
P18 states:
Roughly translated this reads: 'The folding of paper for a specific functional purpose, for certificates, sophisticated notices and other purposes, including business advertising (illustration on page 21) begins around 1757.'
It also states that 'The works shown here' come from the private collection of E Kistner in Nurnberg, from the Germanischen National museum in Nurnberg and from the Altonaer Museum in Hamburg. Unfortunately the author does not say which of the works come from where.
(Note: In English Nurnberg is often called Nuremberg.)
Patenbrief
P20 contains a photograph of a Patenbrief about which the caption on page 21 states:
Advertising Leaflet
P21 contains two photographs of an advertising leaflet, printed on both sides of a square sheet of paper, which would once have been folded into a triple blintz form. This was presumably the form in which the leaflet was distributed. It could then be unfolded, in stages, to reveal the advertising material inside. It is said to date from the late 17th, early 18th centuries.
Footsoldiers / Horses and Riders
Pages 26 and 27 contain photographs of folded Footsoldiers and Horses and Riders. The caption says they are from about 1810 and 'Presumably of Saxon origin'.

Two previously published stories, The Small Hand and Dolly by Susan Hill, are collected here by Vintage Books into one volume. Both are similar in theme.
In The Small Hand, Adam gets lost while driving in the English countryside and finds himself in the forgotten garden of the abandoned White House. While standing in the front yard staring at the house, he feels a tiny invisible hand grasp his. (Screeeeeaaaam!) He's weirded out but not too disturbed by the sensation. However, after he goes on with his life, he feels the small hand again only with sinister connotations. He tries to find out more about the house and the garden. As he looks for answers, he uncovers a secret with devastating consequences.
Dolly involves two cousins, the spoiled Leonora and docile Edward, who spend one summer with their Aunt Kestrel in Iyot House. Edward hears a strange whispering and crying at night. When his bratty cousin arrives with her demands, their aunt tries to appease her by buying her a doll. How she treats the doll will have consequences for the two cousins.
As I said, the stories have some similarities. Both involve a creepy old house in the country, the protagonists are men who travel for work, and both are affected by something that's happened in their childhoods. The Small Hand is a story with a solid conclusion. There's foreshadowing pushing the reader towards the end. Everything gets tidied up real nice.
Dolly is a different situation. The ending isn't so clean. Is Leonora the cause of the terrible events as Edward believes? I don't think so. Leonora is awful, it's true. She makes even the worst kid look like an angel in comparison, but as bad as she is, I think she's as much of a victim as Edward. Right from the start, Edward hears the strange sounds in the attic. The evil in the house is already there. The doll is just a vehicle for it. Why it attaches itself to the two children is a mystery. Sometimes evil has no explanation and this is one of those times.
If you enjoy typical ghost stories with tidy endings, The Small Hand will please you. If, like me, you like ambiguous endings that leave you saying hmmm, Dolly will be more to your tastes.

I was just thinking of The Small Hand earlier today! It's been on my Nook forever but I continually forget about it. Shame on me! Both of these sound awesome, and that cover is killa!
You should read it soon! I think you would like it.

I do love ghost stories. I think I've heard of The Small Hand before but I haven't read either of these.
One of the people I follow read this book. That's how I heard of it.

Find a sampling of cases about transportation that have come to our attention.
These cases may be useful in your work for people living with epilepsy and their families.
The petitioners sued the Texas Education Agency (TEA), which oversees the administration of driver's education courses in the state, alleging violations of the Title II of the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Petitioners allege that TEA, which allows private entities to operate driver's education courses, failed to ensure course accessibility to young adult deaf drivers. In August, 2016, the Epilepsy Foundation joined an amicus brief, which makes the legal argument about the circumstances under which state and local governments should be held accountable for discriminatory activities of private entities. Oral arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court were scheduled for November 7, 2016.
Ward v. Skinner, 943 F.2d 157 (1st Cir. 1991).
Is an individual who requests a waiver from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation that prohibits people with epilepsy from driving commercial vehicles in interstate commerce entitled to an individualized assessment of the risk of waiver? The Petitioner argues "yes" in these briefs, where he also explains that, before denial, reasonable accommodations that could alleviate the risk must be considered.
Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Assoc. of the United States, Inc. v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Insur. Co., 463 U.S. 29 (1983).
Should the Passive Restraint Standard be reinstated? The Epilepsy Foundation and another disability rights organization argue "yes" in this Amicus Brief.
State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Dep't of Transp. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Dep't of Transp., 680 F.2d 206 (D.C. Cir. 1982).
Should the Department of Transportation's Passive Restraint Standard be reinstated? The Epilepsy Foundation argues "yes" in this Amicus Brief, explaining that it will prevent head injury due to automobile accidents, one of the leading causes of new cases of epilepsy each year.


Position of Mercury looking westward on Feb. 26, around 6:30 p.m., 35 minutes after sunset.
February offers the best evening sky observing opportunity this year for the innermost planet, Mercury.
More about that later because first I wanted to mention something of a crossover topic about some collectible coins released in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the first manned lunar landing in 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission.
In January, the United States Mint released commemorative coins made with a variety of metals. On the reverse side is a closeup of the facemask of astronaut Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon with the Apollo lunar module, named Eagle, the planet Earth and fellow moon walker Neil Armstrong all "reflected" in the helmet's visor. On the reverse side is an image of a boot print in the lunar dust. The unusual thing about these coins is that they are curved — like a helmet visor — and so are a unique item.
At the top of that list is a one-quarter (1/4) ounce half eagle ($5 face value) gold piece — both proof and uncirculated coins available. Next is a huge 5 ounce proof silver dollar, and proof and uncirculated one ounce silver dollars. All silver coins are made of 99.9 percent silver. Last but not least are the proof and uncirculated commemorative clad half dollars.
As the year progresses, additional countries are getting into the act. The British Pobjoy Mint is coming out with its own one ounce Proof Sterling Silver Crown Ascension Island coin, with a moonscape on the reverse and their Queen on the obverse. Weighing in at a couple grams more than the U.S. silver dollar, this is another interesting Apollo coin.
It's great to see renewed worldwide interest in the Apollo moon program 50 years on.
After a comet encounter at the end of 2018 and a total lunar eclipse to kick off 2019, February continues to entice in a subtle way all its own as the best month in 2019 to see the planet Mercury, closest planet to the sun, in the evening sky at a somewhat normal time of day. That is because in late February Mercury will reach what is known among astronomers as its point of "greatest western elongation." In other words, the gap between Mercury and the sun is at its largest during an evening apparition. Mercury will be standing at its highest above the horizon in the evening twilight than at any other time this year.
Mercury is arguably the most difficult of the naked eye planets to observe. Due to its proximity with the sun, the sun is always around somewhere while viewing Mercury. Mercury can never be seen late at night. It's most easily viewed either just before sunrise (eastern elongation) or just after sunset (western elongation). February is the latter.
Start looking in the western sky around 6:30 or so in the evening starting the last week of February. At 6:30 p.m. on the 25th, Mercury should appear in the west, 10 above a flat horizon. The actual elongation occurs the next night when, at greatest separation, Mercury is 18.1 degrees from the sun.
The Westminster Astronomical Society's next happy hour star party at Milkhouse Brewery is planned for February 8, from 5-9 p.m. The telescope observing is free and weather permitting. The brewery is open rain or shine and located at 8253 Dollyhyde Road, near Mount Airy though across the county line in Frederick County near Libertytown.

Israeli army says it launched strikes on sites in Gaza
According to a statement by the Israeli military, Israeli fighter jets struck a manufacturing workshop and a compound in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has conducted air attacks in the Gaza strip early on Tuesday, as fighter jets targeted a manufacturing workshop as well as a compound in Khan Yunis, a city in southern Gaza, according to an Israeli military statement.
The air attacks have taken place amid the escape of six Palestinian prisoners who had tunneled out of one of the most secure Israeli prisons overnight, on Monday. The prison break was recorded as the biggest of its kind in decades. Israel has since launched a massive manhunt in the country's north and the occupied West Bank. The search continued on Tuesday.
Palestinians consider prisoners held by Israel to be heroes of their national cause, and many celebrated the escape on social media. Efforts to capture the escapees will likely draw attention to the Palestinian Authority's security coordination with Israel, which is deeply unpopular among Palestinians. There was no instant comment from Palestine, but President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party praised the escape.
A photo released by the prison service showed a narrow hole in the floor of a cell, and Israeli security forces could be seen examining a similar hole on a stretch of gravel just outside the walls of the prison.

Ambitions occasion
Zimbabwe's Mugabe strengthens his hold
Robert Marshall April 20 1981
Ambitions occasion Robert Marshall April 20 1981
Robert Marshall
The radio sitting by itself in a Salisbury street was a temptation that Juliet Chivari could not resist. She went to pick it up. But, when she switched it on, it exploded with terrible force. Juliet was blown to pieces, her sister and two men standing nearby were seriously injured.
As much as any incident in recent months—white farmers murdered, exguerrilla forces in open warfare, armed gangs prowling the countryside—that booby-trap explosion last week showed that Zimbabwe will take some time yet to get over the divisive and brutalizing effects of its seven-year war of liberation. That the tragedy happened during the run-up to Easter weekend celebrations of Zimbabwe's first anniversary of independence was particularly disappointing since the country, with its many signs of peace and stability, has much to celebrate.
Prime Minister Robert Mugabe, the left-leaning ex-guerrilla chief whose success at the polls a year ago unnerved many Western governments, has proved an effective pragmatic leader. Only last month a donors' conference organized by his government in response to disappointing support from the international community drew delegations from more than 30 countries and two dozen international agencies to Salisbury. Like guilt-ridden sinners rediscovering their souls at a revival meeting they flocked forward with their pledges: Kuwait with $61 million, Britain with a new $60-million plan, the United States with an additional $265 million and Canada with $60 million. Only the SovietUnion and some Eastern Bloc countries were notable noncontributors as Zimbabwe met its aim of $2.5 billion in grants and soft loans.
It was a massive vote of confidence, just what Mugabe's young government needed to get going on a 10-year $7-billion program of reconstruction. It was also, it seems, just what Mugabe needed to encourage his own political ambitions. In the days that followed, there were stray hints that opposition parties might be a luxury Zimbabwe could not afford. It would be a serious mistake to believe that democracy must necessarily be a form of a multiparty system, Health Minister Herbert Ushewokunze argued before a Commonwealth parliamentary seminar in Salisbury last week. A single party could represent the general will. Mugabe himself maintained that the politics of negativism, as encouraged in a multiparty democracy, "has no place in a young country such as ours."
Were they preparing the nation for an announcement? They wouldn't say, but while insisting that his government was committed to upholding the constitution, Mugabe also observed that its imperfections would be dealt with in time. The Salisbury Herald—the nation's biggest daily, which was taken over by the government earlier this year—joined the chorus, waxing editorially about the ability of a one-party system to get things done. No longer would MPs stand up in the house to score debating points, quoting Shakespeare or Marx, it enthused.
Whatever Mugabe's intent, the past month has seen a remarkable rise in the fortunes of his ZANU-PF party.* First his sometime political opponent, the former rival guerrilla leader Joshua Nkomo, gave an interview in which he foresaw a possible merger between his Patriotic Front and Mugabe's. Then a stalwart from pre-independence days joined ZANU-PF. After 20 years in opposition, declared Dr. Masipula Sithole as he abandoned the party led by his brother Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, he could not spend the rest of his political life "opposing what I agree with": Mugabe's determination to heal the wounds of war, keep the now-rallying economy growing, redress the imbalanees created under white rule and sever the close trading ties developed with South Africa during the 1970s. After a relatively good economic year, Zimbabwe has just recorded a remarkable eight-per-cent over-all growth rate in the face of global inflation, produced its best ever crop of its staple, corn, and made an encouraging start at redeveloping its vast tobacco industry.
With hundreds of thousands of people displaced during the war and half the arable land still in the hands of 5,300 white farmers (out of a population of 7.5 million), the country faces an overwhelming task in rehousing and land redistribution. Nevertheless, the government is optimistic that Zimbabwe's excellent agricultural potential will soon make it the larder of Central Africa. Hopes are high, too, for the return of the tourists scared away by the years of war. ZIMBABWE: WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED, say the new ads in periodicals across Europe and North America, and hotel operators wish the government continued success in disarming the last of the 20,000 former guerrillas whose itchy trigger fingers have frequently disrupted the peace.
If it's Salisbury the tourists want to discover, however, they had better come fast. At his inauguration as the city's first black mayor last week, Dr. Tizirai Gwata recalled that it had been named for the British prime minister in office in the 1890s, Lord Salisbury, when the first settlers reached the site. Instead, he proposed, it should be renamed after the chief who ruled the area at the time. If the council approves, later this month therefore, Gwata will be mayor not of Salisbury but of Harare, Zimbabwe.

As part of moves towards human resources development in Nigeria,the youth directorate of the Foursquare Gospel Church ,recently floated a capacity building seminar in Abeokuta, Ogun state.
24/7 Gospel Entertainment gives you an exclusive highlight of proceedings at the 1-day seminar.
The youth of Foursquare Gospel Church Abeokuta district held a day capacity building seminar tagged STEP UP on the 2nd of October 2017. The program which appears to be an annual program focuses on empowering youths on job employment and job creation.
The program started with red-carpet at exactly 09:30 am.
They latter had a tea break and exhibition session (Various brands and business who have pre registered to have their product exhibited were giving the opportunity) this was done in order to encourage youth not to only settle or look for white collar jobs but they can also be an artisan.
Should graduate seek work experience first or start as an entrepreneur?
Pastor Mrs Akinyosoye (MD/C.E.O Shalom Mega Stores) encouraged young folks to start up something and not wait till it is right because time will never be right and the program came to a close.

GreenGen Mokelumne Pumped Storage Project
Published 3/18/2022 | Foothill Conservancy
GreenGen LLC recently released an annual progress report for its proposed Mokelumne Pumped Storage Project P-14796, which outlined activities over the past year and announced that it expects to file a draft pre-application document (PAD) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) by early April 2022. To provide background, this project is a proposed pumped storage hydropower system that would be located on the Upper Mokelumne River. The project will pump water from Salt Springs Reservoir up to Lower Bear River Reservoir when renewable electric generation exceeds customer load on the grid and electricity prices are low. Then it will deliver water from Lower Bear River Reservoir down to Salt Springs Reservoir and generate electricity when customer load exceeds renewable generation and prices are high, typically between about 4 pm to 9 pm.
Foothill Conservancy is concerned about the adverse environmental effects, including reduced water quality, the impacts to recreation, wildfire risk, and the overall feasibility of this project and wants to ensure our community is aware of the potential impacts associated with this project. Many members of our community use these reservoirs to recreate, and in addition to suffering the impacts of significant daily fluctuations in the reservoir level, this project could involve covering Lower Bear River Reservoir with solar panels in an attempt to mitigate the increased water temperatures that would result from this project. The increased water temperatures would also impact the sensitive fish and amphibian species that live in the Mokelumne River such as the Foothill Yellow-Legged Frog.
We understand the need for more reliable sources of power generation, however, we believe there are less destructive ways to generate power than pumped storage projects. For example, improvements to the outdated canals within the Amador Water Agency's system could produce an estimated water savings of 1,250 acre feet per year. By saving water, it would allow more water to flow down the Mokelumne River and produce power through the already established Mokelumne River Hydroelectric Project.
Please stay tuned for announcements related to GreenGen and contact Foothill Conservancy at meredith@foothillconservancy.org if you would like to be added to the Mokelumne Pumped Storage Project contact list.
Underrepresented Communities Household Water Efficiency Project
Foothill Conservancy recently submitted a grant application for our Underrepresented Communities (URC) Household Water Efficiency Project through the Mokelumne Amador Calaveras Integrated Regional Water Management (MAC IRWM) group. If approved, this project would provide household water efficiency upgrades to participating members of Amador and Calaveras counties' URC's. Examples of upgrades include direct install of efficient plumbing appliances, leak detection and repair, and landscape irrigation improvements. The goal of this project is to help URC's reduce their consumption and costs, which is especially important during times of drought, by providing them with household efficiency upgrades that will help them save water and save money on water costs.
Social and Ecological Resilience Across the Landscape (SERAL) Project
At the end of January, Foothill Conservancy submitted comments about the Social and Ecological Resilience Across the Landscape (SERAL) Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The SERAL Project is a landscape scale forest treatment plan that would cover activities over 116,000 acres of Forest Service land within the Stanislaus National Forest. The goal of this project is to increase the social and ecological resilience of our forests in the face of climate change.
The SERAL Project proposes project-specific forest plan amendments that would change how California Spotted Owl habitats are managed, and other treatments such as forest thinning, fuel reduction, prescribed fire, fuel break maintenance and construction, hazard tree abatement, temporary road construction, herbicide use, and the use of condition based management for the salvage logging of trees killed by drought, insects/disease and wildfire.
We recognize the need to increase the pace and scale of forest treatments, however, we do not want this to lead to the loss of protections for our communities, large trees, and sensitive species that have habitat in the SERAL project area. We will continue to be involved in this project as the final documents are being prepared and we hope to see a decision later this year.
Forest Projects Plan feedback
The Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Authority's (UMRWA) Forest Projects Plan (FPP), which is separated into two phases, is another forest treatment project we are providing feedback on. Phase One is set to be implemented by the end of this year, and would consist of "mutually agreeable" ladder fuels treatments of small diameter trees over a 10,000-acre project area in the Amador Ranger District. Phase Two will incorporate the Calaveras Ranger District into the project area and require a much more comprehensive planning document. The goal is to provide landscape level fire resilience and forest health to the National Forest lands in the Mokelumne River Watershed. Landscape level means that instead of treating small areas and performing environmental review for each small project, they want to treat the whole landscape by connecting old fuel breaks, treating larger areas than they have previously, and using one environmental document to cover the whole project area.
UMRWA is seeking feedback from Foothill Conservancy and other members of the forest collaborative known as the Amador Calaveras Consensus Group (ACCG) before it allows public comment, so they can limit controversy over the final plan. Please stay tuned for future public comment opportunities, and know that our feedback will be focused on keeping our communities and local environments safe and healthy.
Foothill Yellow-Legged Frog proposed endangered species listing comments
Foothill Conservancy will also be providing comments on the Foothill Yellow-Legged Frog (FYLF) proposed federal endangered species listing. The population of frogs in the Mokelumne River is proposed to be listed as endangered as a part of the South Sierra Distinct Population Segment (DPS). This listing would increase protections for the species as threats such as climate change, large wildfires, and water management threaten to diminish their population even further. Our comments will be focused on providing information about the Mokelumne River FYLF population in order to support the listing. We have information about their threats, breeding habits and behaviors, egg mass data, and information about current management strategies that could be adapted to help protect the frogs. We hope to see a successful listing which will eventually be followed by protecting critical FYLF habitat located along important riparian areas all across the Sierra Nevada foothills.
These are only some of the things the Foothill Conservancy's Watershed Team is currently involved in. Our goal is to be involved with any decision that may impact the health of the Mokelumne River, Amador and Calaveras counties, and provide our supporters with updates and opportunities to get involved. We will continue to keep you informed about these projects and don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.

BERKSHIRE MT BOURBON
Bourbon is the second powerhouse in the whisk(e)y world and it's made in America primarily from corn. Unlike in Scotland and Ireland where whisk(e)y is made primarily from the same grain, American whiskeys are often made from a mix of different grains, known as mash. In fact, it's quite common for an American whiskey to made up of corn, wheat, rye and barley.
For bourbon to be called bourbon, it must be made from a minimum of 51% corn, must be distilled to an ABV of no more than 80%, and must be aged in new charred-oak barrels. The charred-oak barrels and corn are easily the biggest factors that differentiates bourbon from other whisk(e)ys, as it gives the whiskey a much sweeter flavor and smoother texture than barley.
