Many W. Berliners take winter & spring vacations these days and a number of tourists from W. Germany visit Berlin. West Berliners are no longer permitted to enter E. Berlin, but other W. Germans may still venture through the wall, & many come to see relatives. Outwardly, W. Berlin appears prosperous & contented, but there is a latent uneasiness, which erupts at times, such as when it was unexpectedly announced by the White house that Gen. Lucius D. Clay, Pres. Kennedy's personal representative in Berlin was returning to America. This marked the end of Berlin's second Clay era. He was there from the end of the war until May, 1949. He & Federal Pres. Heinrich Lubke received big ovations at the enormous First of May rally held right along the wall. The rally is the W. German equivalent of a Labor Day celebration. Tells some of the thinking of W. Berliners about the solution of the Berlin problem. Before the wall went up on Aug. 13 about 750 people moved out of Berlin every week & about as many moved in. At first the wall created an alarming increase in departures. Now about a thousand move out every week, & 750 move in. But W. Berlin is a city of women & old people. Economically its future looks bright. Tells about the cultural side of the city - especially the new concert hall going up, called the Philharmonie, by architect Hans Scharoun.

I finally have a functionally usable chat implemented! I was battling with trying to get nstextview to reliably resize a parent cellview on window resize, I eventually gave up and switched to webkit for the renderer. Telehash chat is 90% implemented, just chat state remains. Rich text formatting is also transmitted and rendered!! I have started work on image embedding in messages, which will require me finishing up the thtp protocol handler so that webkit can load assets via thtp. In all I am very happy with how chat works!


I started working as the Business Manager at the Science Education Resource Center in February 2016. I work as part of an office management team that supports the various grant-funded programs that run through the SERC. I handle various business functions not only for SERC, but also for the National Association of Geoscience Teachers. Through my experience in a variety of industries (fundraising, transportation, retail), I bring over 15 years of business management experience to our office. Also, I have been licensed as a CPA since 2015.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters and taking long walks with my dogs.

Q: Creating multiple KML layers with as many Google Maps infoWindows I've created a for-loop that draws multiple KML Layers on a Google Map. After that I'm trying to achieve adding a single infoWindow to each of the KML polylines. I can get infowindow appearing for each line, but all of them have the same content: the URL of the last KML file that I draw.
Here's the code:
function initmap(urls){
// Creating an option object for the map
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(61.130298, 24.009358);
var options = {
zoom: 7,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
// Initializing the map
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), options);

if(urls != null) {

    var ctaLayer = new Array();
    var url = new Array();

    for(var i=0;i<urls.length;i++) {
        url[i] = urls[i];
        url[i] = url[i]+"?dummy="+(new Date()).getTime();

        ctaLayer[i] = new google.maps.KmlLayer(url[i], {suppressInfoWindows: true});
        ctaLayer[i].setMap(map);

        // Creating an InfoWindow object
        var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({content: url[i]});

        google.maps.event.addListener(ctaLayer[i], 'click', function(kmlEvent) {

            var clickPos = kmlEvent.latLng;
            var posX = new google.maps.LatLng(clickPos.lat(), clickPos.lng());

            infowindow.close();
            infowindow.setPosition(posX);
            infowindow.open(map);
        });
    }
}
}

What am I doing wrong?
If I do this, (add infowindows into an array), the InfoWindows wont even appear when I click on KML.
var infowindow = new Array();
infowindow[i] = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
  content: urls[i]
});

google.maps.event.addListener(ctaLayer[i], 'click', function(kmlEvent) {

var clickPos = kmlEvent.latLng;
var posX = new google.maps.LatLng(clickPos.lat(), clickPos.lng());

infowindow[i].close();
infowindow[i].setPosition(posX);
infowindow[i].open(map);

});

A: I assume you only want a single infoWindow to appear at a time.  (Your click event has infoWindow.close() )  You need to remove the content: option from this line.
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({content: url[i]});

And put add it to your addListener function:
 var infoWindow = new google.map.InfoWindow();
    ....
 google.maps.event.addListener(ctaLayer[i], 'click', function(kmlEvent) {

            var clickPos = kmlEvent.latLng;
            var posX = new google.maps.LatLng(clickPos.lat(), clickPos.lng());

            infowindow.close();
            infowindow.setPosition(posX);
            infoWindow.setContent(url[i]);
            infowindow.open(map);
        });

Even better, create the infoWindow as a global for use by all your eventHandlers.

Should You Upgrade to Wi-Fi 6E?
Jordan Gloor / How-To Geek
Upgrading to Wi-Fi 6E without any devices that can take advantage of it may be a poor investment. However, getting your network ready for faster devices that are on the way is wise, and a Wi-Fi 6E router can reduce network congestion issues even if no connected devices support it.
Wi-Fi is an ever-evolving technology, so it's not unusual to see new products regularly hit the market with promises of faster speeds and more stable connections. One such technology you might have come across recently is Wi-Fi 6E. So what is it, and do you need it?
What Is Wi-Fi 6E?
Wi-Fi 6E is the evolution of the Wi-Fi 6 standard that was introduced in 2019. Wi-Fi 6 represented the first attempt to standardize wireless networking with a more palatable name (802.11ax doesn't have the same ring), a move that seems to have stuck and should help you better differentiate wireless standards going forwards.
Wi-Fi 6E uses a frequency of between 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz in the US (this may differ elsewhere due to the way radio frequencies are regulated). Early iterations of Wi-Fi were limited to the 2.4 GHz band, then dual-band routers added 5 GHz to the spectrum. Wi-Fi 6E finally expands this to the 6 GHz band.
The technology also increases the number of wide data channels that a router can create, with up to eight 160 MHz bands (one on the 5 GHz band, seven on the 6 GHz band) or 14 separate 80 MHz bands, making it ideal for devices that benefit from a high-bandwidth, low-latency connection.
Though the standard was officially adopted in 2020, many manufacturers only just started adding support for the standard to devices in 2022.
What Benefits Does Wi-Fi 6E Have?
Like the 5 GHz band before it, distance isn't a strong point when it comes to the 6 GHz band. Due to a reliance on the 6 GHz band, Wi-Fi 6E is more limited in terms of range than the technology that came before it. Many devices will only work on the 6 GHz band while in the same or an adjoining room, reverting to 5 GHz (or 2.4 GHz) when you venture out of range.
The real benefit of Wi-Fi 6E is in solving congestion. The technology reduces problems in crowded, high-density environments where there are a lot of competing networks. 6E benefits those who live in large apartment buildings or who work in large office buildings. The 6 GHz band has up to 1200 MHz of spectrum and 60 channels, compared with 500 MHz and 25 channels on the 5 GHz band.
There are also advantages in terms of speed and latency, with Wi-Fi 6E supporting a maximum theoretical speed of 9.6 Gbps. The Netgear RAXE300 router we reviewed in August 2022 promised a maximum throughput of 2.4 Gbps. We also reviewed the Linksys Hydra Pro 6E in October which claims a top speed of up to 4.8 Gbps on the 6 GHz band. (Of course, your actual speeds depend on several factors, including your home's construction and the speeds provided by your ISP.)
It's not just speed that's improved with Wi-Fi 6E, but latency too. Wi-Fi 6E chipsets are capable of less than 1 millisecond of latency, perfect for Wi-Fi calling, gaming over the wireless network (locally or online), and tethering devices like augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) headsets.
Like Wi-Fi 6 before it, 6E is capable of mesh networking. This allows you to overcome some of the limitations in terms of range by carefully positioning nodes around your house or office (though this could be an expensive endeavor).
Which Devices Support Wi-Fi 6E?
Like any new technology, it takes time for manufacturers to get on board. Adoption tends to lag by several years in terms of networking, but the upside is that devices that use the newest standards (like Wi-Fi 6E) retain compatibility with older standards. This allows you to invest in new gadgets with better capabilities without feeling obliged to upgrade your network equipment until the time is right.
Apple is one company that has dragged its heels in terms of adopting Wi-Fi 6E. Its latest flagship devices including the iPhone 14 (and 14 Pro), MacBook Pro (2021), and MacBook Air (2022) can only make use of Wi-Fi 6 networks. Only the 4th-generation 11-inch iPad Pro and sixth-gen 12.9-inch iPad Pro have Wi-Fi 6E support at this stage.
Wi-Fi 6E-Enabled iPad
iPad Pro 11-inch (4th-generation, 2022)
With the same M2 chip that's in the latest MacBook Air, a 120 Hz Liquid Retina XDR display, and support for the second-gen Apple Pencil, the 4th-generation iPad Pro is one of the first Apple devices to support Wi-Fi 6E.
At the same time, neither the Sony PlayStation 5 nor the Xbox Series X (and Series S) support Wi-Fi 6E. The PS5 has support for Wi-Fi 6, while Microsoft's consoles are still limited to "Wi-Fi 5" (802.11ac).
So far, only a limited number of devices support the standard. This includes the Google Pixel 6 (plus Pixel 6 Pro and 6a) and its successor the Pixel 7, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or Plus (and last year's S21 Ultra), the ASUS ROG Phone 5 and ZenFone 8, and Xiaomi's Mi 11 (and ).
Wi-Fi 6E-Enabled Android Smartphone
One of the best Android smartphones on the market, Samsung's flagship Galaxy S22 Ultra can shoot 8K video and up to 108 megapixel still photos, features a beautiful adaptive contrast screen, embedded S Pen stylus, and support for Wi-Fi 6E.

Laptops with Wi-Fi 6E are mostly limited to high-end and gaming-focused machines like the Acer Predator Triton 500 SE (and Helios 300), HP Spectre x360, and Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Extreme. If you have a desktop PC you can invest in something like the GIGABYTE GC-WBAX210 to add Wi-Fi 6E capability using a free PCIe slot.
Wi-Fi 6E-Enabled Laptop
Acer Predator Triton 500 SE
A high-end gamer and creator-focused machine with a 12th-gen Core i9 Intel CPU, mobile GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, and 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, plus support for the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard.
The takeaway is that many of the latest devices are still limited to Wi-Fi 6, with only a handful currently supporting the latest standard. To find out if your current device is capable, take a look at the manufacturer's spec sheet. If you see 802.11ax listed alongside support for the 6 GHz band (not just 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), you can take advantage of Wi-Fi 6E.
Is It Worth Upgrading to Wi-Fi 6E?
Wi-Fi 6E has had a slow start, and, at the time of writing, there's a high chance that you don't own any devices that are compatible with the standard. That doesn't necessarily mean you won't get any benefit from it, though (remember that Wi-Fi 6E routers are backward-compatible with older devices). Investing now means you'll get the benefit of faster speeds and lower latency as you invest in more compatible devices over time.
But investing in Wi-Fi 6E is still an expensive endeavor. As more products come to market it will be cheaper to invest, just as Wi-Fi 6 is cheaper than it was when the first products launched in 2019. You may want to wait until this happens before jumping in. A standard Wi-Fi 6 mesh router system may be a better use of funds until prices begin to fall.
Still, depending on your situation you may see a benefit right now. If you're struggling with network congestion in a dense urban environment, a Wi-Fi 6E router could be a good investment. If you're able to add Wi-Fi 6E to your desktop with a relatively inexpensive network card, the upgrade could be worth it. If you're an early adopter and have a few devices that already support the standard, a router upgrade may make sense to you.
Wi-Fi 6E Routers Are Available Now
One argument for investing in a Wi-Fi 6E router right now is that you're overdue for a router upgrade. Perhaps your old router isn't working like it used to and you're seeing frequent crashes, or you're tired of slow speeds and an unstable connection. You could jump ahead of the Wi-Fi 6 standard and invest in the 6E future right now.
Check out our best Wi-Fi 6E routers roundup to see our top recommendations. A mesh router system will provide the best coverage, but you'll need to invest well over $1000 (at the time of writing) if you want both speed and complete coverage. Alternatively, consider if your money would be better spent investing in a wired Ethernet setup.
What About Wi-Fi 7?
Wi-Fi 6E is barely out of the gate but Wi-Fi 7 is clawing at the door. The future of wireless networking promises speeds up to three times faster than Wi-Fi 6E (just short of 30 Gbps). Routers aren't due until mid-2023 at the earliest, with connecting devices likely to lag a few years after that.

Sometimes the inspiration just takes a vacation. And it gets really stubborn. It can be lured and persuaded, forced and threatened, or even tricked, but it doesn't just seem to want to come back. Maybe it's the way of the brain to tell: "I need a break." These inspirational blockages usually come along the times when I'm the most busy. When things in RL and things in SL get a little bit too hectic.
Even if it is really frustrating, the only way to make these moments better is to lean back and wait. Wait for the inspiration to come back on it's own.

The Jubilee Haggadah – A Travesty of Truth
Posted on April 15, 2017	by Rabbi Michael (Micky) Boyden
An organization calling itself SISO (Save Israel Stop the Occupation) claims on its website to be "a new initiative of prominent Israeli individuals and organizations who have joined with Jewish leaders from around the world in a sense of urgency about Israel's future."
In order to "enlighten" Diaspora Jews as to Israel's plight it has just published The Jubilee Haggadah, whose on-line sale has been made possible with the cooperation of the New Israel Fund.
What the Haggadah seeks to do is to draw a parallel between Israelite slavery and the lot of the Palestinians. The comparison is, of course, simplistic, false and intended to mislead. Pharaoh and his taskmasters were not interested in reaching an accommodation with the Israelites.
The same cannot be said for most Israelis, who have repeatedly expressed their wish to arrive at a peace agreement with the Palestinians. We remember only too well the 2000 Camp David Summit hosted by President Clinton in which Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat participated. Clinton has gone on record as blaming Arafat for having refused to respond to Israel's peace proposals.
Eight years later Ehud Olmert offered the Palestinians an even more generous deal in which Israel would effectively forgo sovereignty of the Temple Mount and in which he proposed a 5%-6% land swap in order to compensate the Palestinians for the major settlement blocs such as Ma'ale Adumim and Ariel that he wished to retain under Israeli jurisdiction. Mahmoud Abbas refused.
I don't recall Pharaoh offering the Israelites any kind of a deal. On the contrary, he gave a command that every Israelite son be thrown into the Nile (Exodus 1:22).
Nowhere does the Torah tell us that the Israelites wanted to overthrow the Egyptians and take possession of their land. The same cannot be said of the Palestinian Hamas, who control the Gaza Strip and continue to call and work for Israel's destruction.
Some Palestinians live very comfortably while many lead wretched lives. That was not true of the Israelites in Egypt. All of them suffered. "And they embittered their lives with hard labor" (Exodus 1:14). By contrast, many Palestinians work in Israel bringing home wages far in excess of anything that they could possibly earn at home.
Of course, there are two competing narratives as to how we reached the present tragic situation, which has caused suffering to Palestinians and Israelis alike. Both sides share some responsibility. At least the Haggadah grudgingly acknowledges that when it quotes Prof. Haviva Pedaya as stating that "Nor (is) one party alone guilty for the complex situation."
However, her statement is more than outbalanced by sketches such as that of a high concrete security barrier reminiscent of the Berlin Wall. No mention is made of the fact that it was erected to protect Israeli citizens following the Second Intifada in which over 1,000 men, women and children were murdered and many more injured and maimed by Palestinian suicide bombers.
This Haggadah is aimed at Diaspora Jews many of whom have little idea of the complexity of Middle East politics and don't know the history. They will understandably condemn Israel and a further wedge will have been driven between us Israelis and those Jews who bought this Haggadah and were duped by its message. The Palestinians will love it. It has presented only one side of the story without allowing the defense to make its case. That is unpardonable.

I am an intellectual and cultural historian of Britain, Ireland, and France in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. After completing degrees in History at Durham (BA) and King's College London (MA), I finished my PhD at the London School of Economics and Political Science in 2018. I taught there and at Cambridge University before joining Queen Mary as a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in January 2019.

Broadly speaking, I am interested in the way ideas are shaped by their cultural and political contexts over long periods of time and in turn how those ideas influence cultural and political developments. My overarching intellectual project at the moment examines the role of linguistic ideas in the development of national thought and racial theory in western Europe. My PhD thesis 'Titans of the Early World: Celtic Ideas and National Thought in Britain, Ireland, and France, 1700-1900' was in effect a case study of this process. I am currently preparing the manuscript for publication as a monograph entitled Ancient Celts and Modern Nations: A History of Celtic Ideas. At Queen Mary, I have begun to examine more closely the relationship between the development of linguistics and anthropology in Britain and France in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

movie review July 17, 2014
Wish I Was Here Doesn't Know What to Do With Its Generational Angst
Photo: Merie Weismiller Wallace, SMPSP/Focus Features
The world demands that we hold extreme opinions on Zach Braff. That we either hate him ("He's a filthy rich, emo douchebag who dared to fund his movie on Kickstarter!") or love him ("Garden State made me feel all the feels when I was 22 and lost!"). But the truth seems to lie somewhere in between, as usual. His latest, the partially crowd-funded Wish I Was Here, not unlike its predecessor Garden State, captures a certain generational drift. It just doesn't know what to do with it. So it beats the damned thing into the ground until it's dead.
This time around, Braff plays Aidan Bloom, a 30-something father of two desperately trying to become an actor in Los Angeles, while his wife Sarah (Kate Hudson) holds down the desk job that keeps the family afloat. The kids go to Yeshiva, not because Aidan is devout, but because his domineering father Gabe (Mandy Patinkin) is paying for private school and demands they get a religious education. Then Aidan learns that Gabe has had a relapse of lung cancer and can no longer pay for the schooling. Much indie-rock-fueled soul-searching ensues: With their funds now tapped out, can Aidan home-school the kids while pursuing acting gigs? Will he ever make peace with the fact that his dying father judges him for pursuing a showbiz dream? Will Aidan's tubby, über-geek brother Noah (Josh Gad) overcome his own estrangement from Dad before the Grim Inevitable? And what about the fact that Sarah basically hates her job and is tired of financing Aidan's hopeless man-child fantasies?
These are valid things to be making a movie about, and questions worth asking. What does a generation do once it realizes that the promise it's been raised on — that dreams come true if you just believe in them hard enough — is pretty much horseshit? And the film may provoke winces of recognition from anyone who has begun to think about the fragility of aging parents, or the veiled and not-so-veiled disappointment that festers between fathers and sons, or the imbalances of sacrifice that often make up a marriage. What Braff seems to lack in cinematic imagination, he partly makes up for in sincerity.
Partly. Because that very sincerity is then undercut by the film's maddening execution. Braff isn't the first filmmaker to rely a little too hard on the thoughtful-dialogue-exchange-followed-by-soft-piano-or-guitar school of directing, but he might be the first to inadvertently turn it into a drinking game. Just as sure as the Who used to kick in every time David Caruso uttered a one-liner on CSI: Miami, some moody bit of pop punctuates each and every one of Wish I Was Here's many nuggets of bite-size wisdom. ("You know what's the problem with hiding in a fishbowl, Noah? Everyone can see you." Cue the Coldplay. "I'm glad you're here." "What do you mean? I've been here the whole time." "No, I haven't seen you in a while." Cue the Imogen Heap cover.)
The weak humor doesn't help, either. Not the desperate manhandling of dialogue in order to eke out generic laughs. ("Not all Arabs want to kill Jews. There's something called Al Qaeda." "The black weatherman?" "No, that's Al Roker." "Al Roker wants to kill Jews?") And definitely not the low-hanging sight gags. (A rabbi on a Segway! A spaceman fucking a furry … at Comic-Con!)
At the same time, while he may not have an original bone in his body, Braff does choose and direct his performers well. Patinkin is terrific as the dying patriarch whose judgmental jabs at his son come with such regularity that they've become mere background noise, a quiet drone of disappointment. Even Braff himself makes for a deceptively effective everyman. That vague sneer of half-disgust on his face never quite goes away, but it can be read alternately as uncertainty, or anger, or determination, depending on the context.
And then there's Kate Hudson, who seems like she hasn't had a decent chance to demonstrate her considerable chops in some time. Reminiscing one night with her husband about the time she saw him at his happiest, acting in a college production of Romeo & Juliet, Sarah recalls being terrified that she herself wouldn't find anything to be passionate about. And we realize that, because her dreams weren't as all-consuming or well defined as Aidan's, she wound up being the one who earns a living — stuck in cubicle hell, awash in poison-green fluorescent light. Hudson plays the scene with both casualness and intelligence, as if she's reasoned it out and is reflective about the fact that she got the short end of the parental stick. It's a quiet but magnificent little moment. But then, Wish I Was Here is onto the next bit of pre-fab poignancy or cheap uplift. Cue the exit music.

Think fast: In the past year, what creative ideas garnered national attention and landed flat, leaving many to ask why didn't anyone say something? While many agencies have created values and commitments around diversity and inclusion, how does that play out in the very rooms where ideas are born? What do we say when we believe something may not be appropriate—even offensive? And who is sitting at the table to serve as a sensitivity filter for those ideas?
Join in this year's Fearless Conversation to learn how we can create a safe space within our agencies to explore uncomfortable conversations, and learn to create not only great work, but mutual understanding.

Hughenden  is a rural town and locality in the Flinders Shire, Queensland, Australia. In the , the locality of Hughenden had a population of 1,136 people.

Geography
Hughenden is situated on the banks of the Flinders River.

Hughenden has the following mountains (from west to east):

 Mount Walker ()
 Mount Mowbray ()
 Mount Devlin ()
 Mount Castor ()
 Mount Beckford ()

Hughenden is located on the Flinders Highway,  west of Townsville and  north-west of Brisbane, the state capital. The region around Hughenden is a major centre for the grazing of sheep and cattle. The main feed is annual grasses known as Flinders grass, which grow rapidly on the (by Australian standards) fertile grey or brown cracking clay soils after rain between November and March. However, because the rainfall is extremely erratic – at Hughenden itself it has ranged from  in 1926 to  in 1950 – droughts and floods are normal and stock numbers fluctuate greatly.

The runoff from the Flinders River is much too erratic to provide a sustainable supply for any crop-growing via irrigation.

Hughenden is on the Great Northern railway line with a number of railway stops in the locality (from west to east):

 Ballindalloch railway station, now abandoned ()
Hughenden West railway station, now abandoned (.
Hughenden railway station, serving the town ()
Hughenden East railway station, now abandoned ()
Pooroga railway station, now abandoned ()
Hughenden was a terminus for the former Hughenden-Winton railway line with the following rail stops in the locality (north to south):

 Dividing Siding railway siding point, now abandoned ().
 Watten railway station, now abandoned ().
Hughenden Airport is to the north-east of the town ().

History
The upper Flinders River area has been occupied by the Yirandhali people from around 11,000 years ago. Jirandali (also known as Yirandali, Warungu, Yirandhali) is an Australian Aboriginal language of North-West Queensland, particularly the Hughenden area. The language region includes the local government area of the Shire of Flinders, including Dutton River, Flinders River, Mount Sturgeon, Caledonia, Richmond, Corfield, Winton, Torrens, Tower Hill, Landsborough Creek, Lammermoor Station, Hughenden, and Tangorin.

Dalleburra (also known as Dalebura, Dal-leyburra, Yirandali) is a language of North-West Queensland, particularly Lammermoor Station via Hughenden. The Dalleburra language region includes the local government boundaries of the Flinders Shire Council.

The region in the vicinity of Hughenden was originally known as Mokana in the Yirandhali language.

British occupation began in October 1861 with the expedition group led by Frederick Walker camping near the site of the future township of Hughenden. Pastoralists soon followed and in 1863 Ernest Henry and his cousin Robert Gray established the Hughenden sheep station. Hughenden was named after Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire, England, the home of former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. Robert Gray and Ernest Henry both had a family connection with Hughenden Manor. Mary Francis Norris, the daughter of John Norris of Hughenden Manor was Henry's mother and Robert's aunt.

The actual town of Hughenden began in 1870 as a barracks for the paramilitary Native Police with sub-Inspector Harry Finch and his six troopers constructing the simple buildings at the junction of Station Creek with the Flinders River. In 1877, William Mark built a pub near the barracks and in August of that year the township site was officially surveyed and allotments made available for purchase.

Hughenden Post Office opened on 1 July 1878 (a receiving office had been open from 1874).

Hughenden Provisional School opened on 22 April 1880, becoming Hughenden State School in 1884. On 30 January 1968, it was expanded to have a secondary department.

In November 1883, "Hughenden West Estate" made up of 37 allotments were advertised to be auctioned by Wilson, Ayton and Ryan of Townsville. A map advertising the auction states the allotments are charmingly situated on high sloping ground, overlooking the Town of Hughenden, within a few minutes walk to the Post and Telegraph Offices, the Court House and the business centre of town. The map also states these residence sites only need the completion of the railway works to enormously increase its value.

Hughenden North Provisional School opened , becoming Hughenden North State School on 1 January 1909. Due to low attendances, it closed in 1926.

St Francis' Catholic School was opened on 1 October 1900 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan.

Torrens Creek near Hughenden is where the Americans stored explosives in World War II. The Americans didn't know of the dangerous bush fires out there. After they put out a fire they went back to camp thinking that the fire was out. However, the fire took hold again without them knowing. They then heard about twelve major explosions in succession; the explosions left craters twenty feet deep. Hot shrapnel covered a wide area and started more fires. In the townships, people said that buildings shook and windows broke, and some people were convinced that an air raid had occurred. Thousands of soldiers and civilians attacked the blaze in an attempt to stop it spreading to fuel dumps, but were unable to control it. When the fire got to the explosives it was so powerful it blew the Americans out of their trucks. Many buildings and shops got burnt down from the spreading fires. However the locals were able to save the post office. A police Constable from Torrens Creek Police was awarded the King's Medal of Bravery.

In June 1945 it was announced that a new court house would be built in Hughenden in the 1945-1946 financial year with architectural plans drawn up in August 1945. However, it was not until September 1946 that the Executive Council of the Queensland Government approved expenditure of £31,560 for the project. In September 1947, the project stopped because it was determined that the foundations would not support a 2-storey building and that the new court house would have to be redesigned as single-level building. In January 1950, the new plans for the one-storey building were announced and by October that year, the construction was progressing in "leaps and bounds". A shortage of cement appears to have delayed the project until 10,000 tons of cement was imported from England in January 1951. By January 1952, three-quarters of the framing had been completed while the project was suffering from a shortage of skilled labour and the cost having risen to an estimated £60,000. In October 1954 the court house was described as "almost completed", but it was not until 1955 that the court house opened.

In 1960, the Hughenden branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association opened their hall.

On 9 June 2003 in the Queen's Birthday Honours List, Mrs Jean Eva Anderson of Ballater Station of Stamford was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for her "service to the community of Hughenden, particularly through the Country Womens Association". She had given 52 years of service to the Hughenden branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association. Her award was presented to her by the Governor of Queensland, Quentin Bryce.

In August 2008, Hughenden hosted the first Arid Lands Festival and The Great Hughenden Camel Endurance Challenge.

In the , the locality of Hughenden had a population of 1,136 people.

Attractions
Hughenden has a replica of the Muttaburrasaurus, a dinosaur, whose bones were discovered in 1963 near Muttaburra ( by road from Hughenden) and some teeth and other bones were also discovered around Hughenden. One reason for fossils being discovered must be the dry climate, which means the rocks are usually bare of vegetation.

The Historic Coolabah Tree is a tourist attraction (). Two expeditions searching for the lost Burke and Wills expedition left blazes on the tree.. The search expeditions were led by Frederick Walker in 1861 and William Landsborough in 1862.

Record temperatures have varied from around  in the summer months to as low as  in winter, but average maximum temperatures are usually a very hot  in summer and a very warm  in June and July. Minimum temperatures range from  in summer to around  in winter. On average, a minimum below  is recorded once per year.

The average annual rainfall is around , of which over three-quarters falls from November to March. Between May and September, rainfall is extremely rare: the median rainfall is zero in August, less than  in July and September and less than  in April, May, June and October. Variability is extreme, however, and totals as high as  occur roughly one year in ten, whilst in the driest years as little as  can be recorded. Between December and March, monthly totals can exceed  if the monsoon is vigorous, with the wettest month being January 1984 with .

Humidity is generally low except when the monsoon is active, when relatively lower temperatures accompany high humidity. The same applies to cloudiness: in the dry winter months over twenty days are completely clear.

I've been thinking about the idea of "apathy" a lot recently, and the more I do the more I doubt its usefulness.
A lot of what's taken for apathy is actually, I think, despair. It's a nagging, grinding, chronic despair that leads a person to think that what's wrong will always be wrong and that they can't play any part in changing it. It's not apathy, because apathy would mean that they didn't care. They do care, often, but they're resigned to things the way they are because they think they're powerless.
This is something I talk a lot about with students when they bring up the question of campus apathy. I ask them whether the problem is that other students don't give a damn about the barriers they're facing, or whether they just assume those barriers are insurmountable. My hunch is that it's usually mostly the second, even when it looks and sounds like the first.
And it turns out that this is good news. Because if the problem in your community is apathy, you have to convince the people you're working with to care. If the problem is perceived powerlessness, then your task is very different.
Convincing people that they have power is hard, of course, but it's easier than browbeating them into giving a damn. And it turns out that the best way to do it is to go out and start making change — which means that the work of activism and the work of movement-building wind up being the same work.
Another important element to this is that many students who get dismissed as apathetic are really just busy. Busy with schoolwork, busy with jobs, busy with their families and friends. Or busy with projects that aren't your project.
Not everyone has the time or energy to be an activist, and that's okay. Activists do their work in part so that non-activists can live their lives without having to be activists themselves.
Interesting point. But, there are students who do care but just don't want to get involved. I wouldn't say it's not that they feel there is no way or they don't have the time. It's just that they don't want to do it. In my time as a leader at my school, this was the kind of thing I faced. There were people on the E-board who was for what we did as a club, but they didn't want to do the work.
When it comes to people who see things as hopeless and don't have access to others who make a difference, then I can understand as long as they did try to look for others. It is only as a united front that we can take things on and defeat them. When it comes to the people who don't want to do the work (like what I mentioned above) or just don't care about the cause at hand (the apathetic ones), they choose to just merely exist, not live. They choose to not love their neighbor. They choose to not love people for their heads AND hearts. Sure, people might not have the time, but there is time to be on Facebook and Twitter, right? Why not speak up there? At least at that point, you're doing something. One shouldn't be for a cause and just be silent about it.


Spirit of Martyrdom is a ministry that was started by the grace of God and the work of the Holy Spirit. It belongs to Christ and He is the head. In this regard, SOM will practice corporate and individual humility. Our identity is found as new creations in Christ. Therefore, SOM will boldly and courageously proclaim and execute its mission with an aim at lifting all the work of Christ and His Kingdom as possible.
Spirit of Martyrdom ministries exists for the glory of God by serving the global Church. We desire to assist Christians who are witnessing their faith at great cost and sacrifice. In Greek, "martyr" translates as "witness". In the USA, we hope to embolden Christians in their witness of Christ with testimonies of what God is doing around the world.
We count it a privilege to serve our persecuted brothers and sisters globally-the living martyrs. Currently, we are equipping our family in Christ with resources and support in several Islamic countries in North Africa and the Middle East. In Asia, we are supporting a church planting movement with training schools and tools of ministry which includes our Bible discipleship and sewing school (for widows and single mothers) in India. In Bangladesh, SOM supports distribution of Bibles and Christian materials. In South America, we are delighted to serve alongside with Russell Stendal in Colombia. Russell's family has served as missionaries in Colombia for over 50 years.
Spirit of Martyrdom keeps forefront the Christ-like characteristics of Faith, Hope and Love. The greatest value being love. (1 Cor. 13:13) We shall express these godly characteristics in every part of our ministry.

Denmark hasn't been shy about moving to a greener future, and that now includes casting off a large part of its fossil fuel legacy. The Press Association and Greenpeace report that the Danish Parliament has voted to end all offshore oil and gas pumping in the North Sea by 2050. It's cancelling all upcoming exploration and production permits, and expects to wind down existing operations by that 30-year mark.
The vote got broad multi-party support and is unlikely to be overturned in the near term. Denmark has been producing offshore oil since 1972.
Denmark's latest effort to slow climate change isn't as dramatic a sacrifice as it would be for other countries. It's a relatively wealthy nation, and produces 'just' 100,000 barrels of crude oil and equivalents per day versus roughly a million in the UK and 19 million in the US. The country can afford to drop oil and gas where a similar decision might hobble others, especially as it transitions toward a digital economy. Microsoft just announced plans to build a datacenter region in Denmark efforts like those could pick up some of the slack.
It's still a significant gesture, though. Denmark is a major EU oil producer, and it's still rare to see countries purposefully abandon oil and gas production even if they're committed to renewable energy. This could increase pressure on other countries to ditch fossil fuel production, at least those that make the leap without jeopardizing their economies.

The Neurosciences Institute in La Jolla, California, is cutting programmes and moving out of its architecturally acclaimed building complex. BioSurplus announced last week that it would be selling nearly 400 lots of scientific instruments and disposables, with an online lab liquidation auction beginning on 9 August.
The Neurosciences Institute was established in 1981 as an independent non-profit at Rockefeller University in New York. When the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla recruited Edelman in 1992, part of the package was constructing a complex to house the Neurosciences Institute, which would lease its space from Scripps, explained Douglas Bingham, a vice-president at Scripps. According to the architects, Edelman asked for a "monastery for scientists". It was designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, a husband-and-wife team responsible for several art museums. The institute has now rented office space in La Jolla, and it is unclear how many staff will remain, says Edelman. The institute's website now lists 21 scientific staff members.
The goal of the Neurosciences Institute, Edelman says, is to pick a few talented people, and give them freedom to collaborate, "not tied to [National Institutes of Health] neuroses but tied to pursuing a new idea." The institute has funded itself not through peer-reviewed grants, but by raising millions of dollars from philanthropists and private foundations, but money is harder to raise during a downturn. The list of donors on the institute's website was last current in 2006.
But Edelman is adamant that grant-funded processes stifle science. He has developed a theory called neural Darwinism, which explains higher brain functions as a result of many rounds of selection to promote certain patterns of neural connection. The institute is studying such processes using 'brain-based devices', essentially simple robots that can sense aspects of their environment and accumulate behavioural patterns that have not been programmed. "They go out and they learn on their own," explains Edelman. Next up, they will be monitoring what these devices do when deprived of sensory input, which Edelman believes could lead to insights about imagination and inner life.
Although he declined to discuss details, citing "a delicate situation", research director Einer Gall said that the institute has assurances from private foundations that funding is available to continue theoretical work, and adds that the institute may be able to re-launch some experimental work should funds become available.

Fred Eaglesmith will bring his "rock-and-roll-show-meets-Johnny Carson" performance to the Tidemark Theatre on Wednesday
On the phone with: Fred Eaglesmith
Catching up with singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith riding his famous biodiesel powered bus on the road in New Mexico
Alistair Taylor
The Mirror caught up with singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith riding his famous biodiesel powered bus on the road in New Mexico, heading to a gig in Albuquerque that night. Friends of the Tidemark Theatre on Facebook might remember a few months back a call went out for a supply of used vegetable oil to help fuel Fred's bus. Well, he's still on the road and will be arriving here in time for a Wednesday, Feb. 25 show at the Tidemark Theatre at 7:30 p.m.
Campbell River Mirror: Have you ever been out to Vancouver Island before?
Fred Eaglesmith: Many, many times. Yeah…probably…yeah, many, many times.
CRM: How about Campbell River? Been out our way at all?
FE: You know, I don't think I've been to Campbell River. I think that one time I think I was supposed to play in Campbell River once and the ferry got cancelled. I think that was about 15 years ago.
CRM: So where do you call home?
FE: I live in southern Ontario when I'm home.
CRM: So you're touring around right now. You're riding in the famous vegetable oil-powered bus right now, I assume?
FE: Yeah, I'm driving it even as we speak.
CRM: Can you tell me about that? How did that come about?
FE: Well, you know, when fuel was really expensive about three years ago, we switched the buses to (vegetable) oil and it was pretty good for a long time. It's getting harder to get now because the oil companies started buying it instead of taking it for free. So we don't get to burn it as much as we used to but we still burn it when we can.
CRM: You converted this bus yourself? You're mechanically inclined?
FE: Yeah, I'm mechanically inclined. I converted it with a friend of mine. It's not that hard to do. We tweaked it over the years. We've got it now that once we get it going, she runs pretty good.
CRM: What kind of a show can people expect from you?
FE: It's a rock and roll show, sort of steeped in the 60s, although it's original music. It's steeped in the idea of entertainment and suits and, ah, it's serious but its funny. Sort of like the Rolling Stones meet Johnny Carson.
CRM: So what makes it fun?
FE: You know, I have a lot monologues in between. We sort of poke fun at ourselves. We're not so serious about ourselves but we're serious about what we do. So that really makes it a good combination.
CRM: So what kind of band are you performing with?
FE: I have the band that I always have. You can see it on Youtube. It's drums and bass, guitar. I have myself singing and I have a side singer as well. Accordion. Banjo.
CRM: And are you kind of focussing on a certain period of your music or do you play, you know, a whole sampler of it all?
FE: Yeah, you know, yeah, I've been out there for 40 years. I play all the stuff. I play everything. I play the whole gamut.
CRM: When you're not playing your guitar or whatever other instruments you play, what music do you listen to?
FE: I listen to mostly jazz. I listen to Chet Baker a lot. I listen to rock and roll. I listen to the Rolling Stones a lot. I don't listen to much modern unless I find some esoteric or something. Something that I find that's under the radar. I listen to Eminem once in a while just to see what's up but not too much.
CRM: Basically rock and roll, rootsy kind of music?
FE: I don't listen to rootsy as much as I listen…I listen to the Stones because I've always loved the Stones. I sort of refer back to that time. I listen to a lot. I listen to ELO, 80s, you know, Electric Light Orchestra. I listen to a little bit of Neil Young some times, Tom Wait. But mostly a lot of jazz. A lot of real cheesy, sort of, cheesy jazz. Steve Tyrell and those guys. I like songs. I like songs. And I don't care what kind of songs they are, as long as they're good.
CRM: Do you like ones with deep meaning or do you prefer stories or what do you look for in a good song?
FE: I really just like well-written song. One of my favourite songwriters is a guy that everybody hated back in the 60s. I like Burt Bacharach. I like any good songwriter from any era so it doesn't matter if it's Gordon Lightfoot or Burt Bacharach, I like them all.
CRM: And what about your own songwriting? Is there generally a theme to any of it, would you say?
FE: You know, that's changed over the years. I started out sort of as a folkie, sort of bluegrass, country guy. And then I sort of become sort of an alt. country guy and now it sort of gravitates towards rock and roll. You know country's got so polluted. I have sort of moved away from that a little more than I might have if it hadn't got so polluted.
CRM: Do you think rock and roll has got the same way at all?
FE: Well the thing about rock and roll is it went to sleep. It got totally polluted and it was totally awful and everybody quit it. So nobody's on that highway right now, for me, which is really nice. Everybody's either playing pop music or they're playing new country music or whatever else they're playing but nobody's really playing that straight ahead, good songs, you know, interesting music. Nobody's doing that right now and it's real easy for us to fill that void. It's really fun 'cause it's fresh. You know, I'm using the term rock and roll loosely. I'm using it sort of the way they used it in 1969 when a whole bunch of styles was called rock and roll. It was mostly blues, country and gospel mixed together to make rock and roll. That's what I'm doing.
CRM: Any other musicians that you admire?
FE: Oh, tons and tons. I like the Texas guys. Texas songwriters. You know I like the Canadian guys a lot that I grew up with. I was a little younger than them. The folk musicians that I grew up with were stellar musicians, you know, they were stellar writers and I've always had a soft spot for those guys, you know. That was sort of the best period of time for me in songwriting, was sort of when I was 16 and those guys were 26, you know, 30 or so. They were fantastic. Still to this day I can refer to that time.
CRM: When you're performing what are you trying to do out there?
FE: I'm really just trying to make people, ah, I'm trying to make them do two things: I'm trying to make them have the time of their life and, literally, I mean, the time of their life and, at the same time, be provocative, make them think about it, make them think about their life and what this is. I really believe that rock and roll is the last bastion of liberation. And especially for older people. I really believe it is liberating and I think a lot of seniors and what we call seniors right now were steeped in rock and roll and they had to leave it behind or they did leave it behind for economics. I sort of remind them a lot of times: "hey this is what we were doing."
CRM: You take them back to their youth in many ways?
FE: Well, I'm not trying to take them back to their youth. I'm trying to take them back to what their ideals were. It's not nostalgic. It's provocative. And most of them like it and some of them don't.
CRM: Some of them want to relive those ideals and some want to put it behind them, keep them back there.
FE: Some want to put it behind them because, you know, I was fortunate to be on the tail end of the 60s movement. I was just a kid but I was fortunate enough to be there. I was one of the last hitchhikers out there on the road. I was fortunate to hitchhike all across Canada when I was 15 years old, 16 years old. And you know right now, we're one of the very last full time travelling rock and roll shows in North America and I sort of get to sweep up every time. It's sort of interesting, I get to sweep up.
CRM: And how did it all start for you?
FE: I saw Elvis on television and I decided that was what I was going to do. I was about 10 years old, 12 years old. I quit doing all my school work and started playing out. And when I was hitchhiking across Canada, I played everywhere. I played in every lumber camp, fire camp and youth hostel I could find. And then by the time I was 20, 22 I started getting gigs.
CRM: You're still at it. You obviously still enjoy it?
FE: Well, you know when I was a kid everybody wanted to do what I am still doing so it's fantastic. It's fantastic.

4th National Tourism Transportation Summit holds in Abuja
The News Accelerator 10:18:00 Business
Abiodun Odusanwo
The fourth edition of the National Tourism Transportation Summit and Expo has been scheduled to hold on the 15th and 16th of November 2021 at the International Conference Centre, Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.
The National Transportation Tourism Summit and Expo is instituted and convened by the Institute for Tourism Professionals of Nigeria (ITPN) in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Tourism, the Federal Ministry of Transportation and the Federal Ministry of Aviation as an annual event that focuses attention on the inter-play and connectivity between tourism and transportation. It is also meant to x-ray how the various stakeholders and key players in the two industries (tourism and transportation) at both public and private sector levels have fared in exploring the enormous opportunities and benefits inherent in synergizing them.
According to a statement signed by Abiodun Odusanwo, National President ITPN/Chairman Local Organizing Committee, LOC, the theme for this year's fourth edition of the Summit and Expo is TOURISM TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIVITY: Leveraging the African Continental Free Trade Area (AFCFTA) Regime for Economic Sustainability.
This is derived from the AFCFTA trade agreement which is a common market to grow trade in 'made-in-Africa' goods and services by reducing tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade among African countries.
The statement reads: "AFCFTA is a common market for 54 African countries of a population of 1.2 billion people which has a combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of more than US $3.4 trillion. It is a huge market opportunity that cannot be ignored or wished away.
"The Summit and Expo offer a platform for public and private sector stakeholders, producers and consumers in Nigeria and the African Continent to come together, share ideas, experiences, exchange knowledge and showcase their skills in the growth, development and promotion of the nation's economic endowments by promoting the ideals of the AfCFTA Agreements and leveraging on it.
"Nigeria's participation in this year's event is essentially to get more enlightened and informed on the nitty-gritty of the AfCFTA agreements so that the country can fully explore the opportunities and benefits of the trade agreements.
"Participation by all sectorial key players and critical stakeholders in the Tourism and Transportation sectors of the country will open a new page in Africa's cross-boundary trade for the good of the country in particular and the continent as a whole.
"This is because AFCFTA is driven by the need for Nigeria to grow and diversify her export income beyond crude oil export revenue, which is cyclical, has been declining in per capita terms due to fast-growing population and is projected to decline significantly over the long-term due to the global shift away from fossil fuels. Tourism offers a preferred sector for Nigeria's economic diversification with transportation being the most reliable means for this to happen."

Food is a common problem for many people, for food so often fills a void, and becomes a way of comforting oneself when faced with the stresses that are a part of our modern age. Yet food is not the only addiction that can overtake the believer. The need for love and approval can be a form of addiction, and can even replace a fulfilling relationship with God. In serving others, we can sometimes find ourselves displacing God, and making charity a form of self worship.
This in no way suggests that "what we do for these, the least", is not a godly direction to take, for we are directed by Christ Himself to be in service to others. However, we want to make sure our charity is based on love of God and neighbor, and not on love of self. There are some philanthropic people who give, not because they love the poor, or even a cause, but because they want to be noticed and admired by others. Pride rules, not love.
We avoid this sin of pride by living in a state of constant repentance. When we notice pride rising to the surface, we repent. We always seek to make Christ the cause and foundation of our charity, and not the praise of others. This can only be done if we are open with our confessor, and crushing the ego before it has a chance to take hold.
Commemoration of the New Martyrs who suffered during the "Holy Night" in St. Petersburg (1932).
9 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
Abbot Tryphon, can you give some clarification of the passage from 1 Corinthians 8:8-9:2? I don't quite understand it. Line 8:8 makes sense to me but I don't understand how it bears on the rest of the passage. Also, can you interpret the rest of the passage? I went to my New Revised Standard Version of the Bible and read these passages there thinking it would help me understand, but no. Thank you.
This is simply a reminder that we need not worry about what we eat, even if it is somehow connected to a pagan temple, but also reminded that we must avoid doing anything that might impact or offend someone who is weak in the faith.
Amen Father! Thank for advice on how to deal with this sin!

It's a fantasy draft for parts that includes some of the top racing parts in the world. Watch this incredibly crazy video of this modified car with state of the art materials and components.
JAC Products is a global leader in automotive roof racks and cargo management systems. The Tier One automotive supplier recently realized a 70% greater output by utilizing Suhner's advanced drilling technology.
Alabama's Continental Motors switched to a PCD cartridge-type face mill and quadrupled the material removal rate for roughing while doubling their MRR for finish milling. The advantage has led to a dramatic reduction in cycle time on the 1750 crankcases they produce in a year.
Key to the project was the the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) machine, which can print components up to 1,000 times faster than many of today's industrial additive manufacturing machines. This next-generation additive manufacturing offers new opportunities for the automotive industry, especially in prototyping vehicles.
Engineers at Ohio State University have developed a new welding technique that consumes 80 percent less energy than a common welding technique, yet creates bonds that are 50 percent stronger.
Turnaround time of certain assembly line manufacturing tools at the truck engine production plant has been reduced from 36 days to 2 days, using a Stratasys Fortus 3D Production System.
