Alexandria Radio ( is an Egyptian radio station based in Alexandria. Opening in 1954, it is considered  the oldest regional radio station in the Arab world. On July 26 of that year, the Minister of National Guidance appointed Hafez Abdel Wahab as its founding director, putting him on air that same Monday at 2:00 PM.

Notable figures
The poet Mahmoud Al-Kamshushi contributed many works for the station until his death in 1971, including its opening song "احنا الشعب الحر" ("We Are the Free People"). He co-wrote scripted series with Abdel Wahab for the station, including في الامر جريمة ("Criminal Matters") and برنامج حميدو ("The Hamido Show"), and was sole author of scripts for the annual "musical riddle" show Fawazeer Ramadan. Other contributors included Baligh Hamdi, Jamal Tawakkol, Ali Nour, Ahmed Al Sarjani, Nabil Atef, Raja Hagras, Tahani Abu Al-Saud, Ali Al-Laithi, Saber Mustafa, Hussein Abu Al-Makrem, Mahmoud Sharkas, and Abdel-Hay Shehata.

Increase in CO2 has not stimulated growth of tropical trees

Since the start of the industrial revolution in 1850, atmospheric CO2 levels have increased by about 40%. However, contrary to expectations, the growth of tropical trees has not increased as a result. The prediction that tropical forests would help to slow down climate change therefore appears to be too optimistic, according to research performed at Wageningen University and published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience.
'Experiments have shown us that CO2 can boost the growth of trees due to changes in the leaves,' said the lead author Peter van der Sleen from the chair group Forest Ecology and Forest Management. 'To measure such changes in tropical rainforests we analysed stable carbon isotopes present in the wood of trees growing in Bolivia, Cameroon and Thailand. The relative amounts of various carbon isotopes can indicate the degree of water stress. We found that, on average, the trees had less water stress than 50, 100 or 150 years ago. The big question was whether this improved water supply had also resulted in increased tree growth.'
With the aid of annual rings, it is possible to investigate the whole period throughout which CO2 levels in the atmosphere have been increasing. Studies are uncovering more and more tropical tree species that have annual rings: a wonderful source of information on the growth, physiology and environment of trees. 'We are gradually making that information source available,' the co-author and research leader Pieter Zuidema explained. The analysis of annual rings in the wood of trees under investigation leaves little room for doubt. 'None of the forests investigated have provided us with evidence of increased tree growth over the last 150 years. That is remarkable because it has always been assumed that trees grow more rapidly when there is more CO2 in the atmosphere.'
Cover Story Nature Geoscience
Nature Geoscience has chosen to make this research the cover story for the January issue, which proves how remarkable the results are. Peter van der Sleen: 'Our results are important for the IPCC predictions, which underpin international climate policy. Almost all models made so far assume that CO2 stimulates tree growth in the tropics. In this way, tropical forests can function as carbon sinks. They intercept, as it were, a part of the extra CO2. Our study demonstrates that this assumption is probably too optimistic'. Pieter Zuidema added the following: 'But that does not mean to say that tropical forests have suddenly become less important for the worldwide carbon cycle. These forests contain enormous quantities of carbon, and deforestation results in huge amounts of CO2 emission. Our study merely shows that increased CO2 did not lead to the expected extra growth in existing forests.'

FRERE, William (d.1612), of Oxford and Water Eaton, Oxon.
Published in The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1558-1603, ed. P.W. Hasler, 1981
1st. s. of Edward Frere† of Oxford by Anne, da. of John Bustard of Adderbury. m. 1560, Mary (d.1573), da. and coh. of William Bamfield of Turnworth, Dorset, at least 2s. 4da. suc. fa. 1565.1
Hanaster (freeman, paying guild merchant fee) of Oxford 1571, member of mayor's council by 1583-1603; j.p. Oxon. from c.1591, sheriff 1596-7.2
Frere's grandfather was a brewer who speculated in Oxford monastic property and was mayor of the city seven times. Some of the family remained Catholic, and a William Frere of Oxford, 'worth £2,000', was reported in 1577 for not going to church. Frere probably carried on the family trade, though later in life he spent much of his time at Water Eaton, an estate three miles outside Oxford. Within the city he owned the site and demesnes of the convent of Augustinian Friars, which the corporation bought from him about 1586 for over £600. He had at least one other house in the city sufficiently large and well furnished to accommodate Lord Knollys, the high steward, when he stayed at Oxford in 1611.3
Frere was a member of the mayor's council for over 20 years. In September 1581 the corporation agreed that he need not wear a scarlet gown, and would not be forced to serve as mayor or alderman. A dispute between him and other members of the council was settled on 18 Sept. 1583, when the mayor
alderman [William] Noble and Mr. Frere agreed ... to remit every one to the other all quarrels and controversies betwixt them for any words spoken or imprisonment suffered before this day.
Frere was involved in the rivalry between city and university; in October 1586 he was one of the 58 burgesses who with three aldermen refused to take the oath to respect university privileges. The corporation, who had had experience of his tenacity in disputes, appointed him in June 1599 as one of two commissioners to take the city's answer to a Chancery bill about common land. Early in James I's reign Frere resigned his position on the city council as
he thinketh fit in his conscience that such only should be of the thirteen [assistants to the mayor] that shall take upon them the office of mayor and alderman ... which the whole house gainsaid and entreated him to the contrary, but he would not be entreated; so the house granted to his request and he actually resigned.
Until his death his name appears, with the recorder's, after those of the first thirteen councilmen.4
Frere's year as sheriff coincided with serious riots in the county caused by economic depression. He had made his Water Eaton estate profitable by ditching and draining, and the villagers claimed he had enclosed common land. A witness examined in January 1597, after the disturbances had been suppressed, stated that Frere had 'destroyed the whole town of Water Eaton', and admitted that the rioters had intended to 'spoil' his house. The attorney-general brought an enclosure case against Frere and others in the Star Chamber, still unsettled in February 1598, with Frere still claiming that the district had profited by his improvements and that no one had suffered injury.5
Frere died on 7 Feb. 1612. His will, made less than a fortnight before, has a preamble commending his soul to God
with full hope and certain knowledge and belief to have remission for my manifold sins ... by the only death and passion of my blessed Saviour ... and by no other means.
He left £600 to each of his three grand-daughters, and gave nearly £40 in legacies to the poor of Oxford, Water Eaton, Godford and Kidlington, and £5 to the provost of Oriel, who was appointed overseer of the will. The testator's son Edward, aged about 44, was the executor and residuary legatee. Frere was buried at All Saints', Oxford, on the day after his death; his inquisition post mortem was taken on 5 Nov.6

Thank you to those that reached out to me about Chapter One aka Day One of The Dumbing Down of Love. Your positive words mean a lot to me and I will use them as encouragement when I hit that wall that I will inevitably face when I write. Day Two coming this evening.
Many of you know my love for hockey. I will watch it in any form I can get it. Pick up, pee wee, youth, high school, college, professional. If it's hockey, I'm watching it. Today the KHL's Lokomotiv confirmed that the entire main roster, plus four players from the youth team, was lost team due to tragic plane crash that happened in Yaroslavl, Russia. Tragedy has struck the hockey world a lot this summer. Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien, and Wade Belak were taken way before their time and so were the players and staff members that were taken from their family and friends today. I don't expect a lot of people to understand my feelings for the loss of people I have never met but the world is less of a place because they are no longer in it. Someone who did nail things perfectly was Adam Proteau of The Hockey News in two separate tweets.
Live with integrity and live with no regrets.
Love you. Thank you. I'm proud of you. Keep up the amazing writing, my friend. Never think for a second that you don't have it in you.

Home Community A woman and a farmer! The invisible workforce to the fore
BInny Yadav
Driven by the spirit of naari shakti, 200 farm women pitch for their rights near to the Parliament House in Delhi.
They were in all 200 of them sitting under the overcast sky on one of those sultry July days of the year surrounded by several layers of security cordon. Speaker after speaker was taking to the podium of the makeshift rickety stage pouring out their anxieties and anger against the incumbent BJP government at the Centre. This was 'mahila sansad' (an assemblage of women) representing various women's organisations of the country.
A few yards away majestically stands the Parliament House, a British era marvel, bearing witness to the ongoing all-women assembly while the monsoon session was in progress inside.
They might be small in number, but not in their grit and gumption. Fired by a rare of sense of naari shakti (woman power), each member of the assembly oozed the kind of confidence never seen before. These neo-feminists are out to achieve what their men are hoping to, but not without woman power. They are no longer second fiddle to men, but their equal partners; they are mahila kissan (woman farmers).
Though convened to register their protest against three contentious farm legislation the government introduced surreptitiously, what came out during the deliberations at the all-women parliament in the open was the resolve to fight for gender equality and ensure justice to women.
Each of these women may have represented Simone de Beauvoir in her individual capacity, but they all reiterated their collective representation of millions of women farmers who don't want to accept gender discrimination in the name of Second Sex.
What's it like being a woman in a patriarchal set-up where she is invariably neglected, her services largely go unacknowledged and she is forced to remain invisible in the farm sector. This is in contrast to most of the other developing countries where women are credited for producing 60 to 80% of food. Women produce almost half the food produced in the world.
But then, when have women had it easy when it comes to getting the recognition due to them. Leave alone their rights, society is not even ready to acknowledge their existence. Whatever little they have gained over the years is not without a long-drawn-out struggle. The women parliament under the open sky may not be a part of the first, second, third, or fourth wave of feminism. Nonetheless, it is an equal contender for the movement of equal rights in India.
When the country's parliamentarians represented their respective constituencies in the august house during the monsoon session, these women represented themselves when they questioned as to why they, as women farmers, remained a neglected lot despite their disproportionately high contribution to the country's economy.
The shadow parliament was held close on the heels of the Opposition making a fervent demand for a discussion on the issue of farmers in the country's parliament. The members of the women parliament not only spearheaded the farmers' movement but also took up the cause of the millions of women who contribute immensely to Rs 19.48 lakh crore (US$ 276.37 billion) farm industry of the country.
These women farmers have been part of the enduring protest on the outskirts of the National Capital along with their male counterparts since November 2020. They have braved rains, winter chills and sweltering summer heat alongside men, to pressurise the government to withdraw the farm laws passed by the Parliament in September 2020. During this eight-month-long protest, they have been pushing hard with their own demands as woman farmers and the recognition due to them as equal stakeholders in the agrarian economy.
The problem is not just the recognition of women as an independent force as a major contributor to the farm sector. There are issues relating to their struggle within their families for land rights, loans and transfer of land rights in their names etc. as the patriarchal values are loaded against them. According to a National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), the agrarian sector employs nearly 80% of women workers. Despite such a huge representation, they largely remain invisible or are merely acknowledged as labourers.
The only scheme meant exclusively for women under the Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojna (MKSP), affiliated to the National Rural Livelihood Mission, has a total of 57,270 Mahila Kissans registered through 5,816 local groups for taking up organic farming. Another 14.03 lakh women farmers come under the State Rural Livelihoods Mission and MKSP indicating that a large number of women are engaged in the sector. However, there is no consolidated data on the direct or indirect employment or engagement of women in the farm sector.
What these 200-odd women were fighting for on the Delhi roads was not only the question of millions of women farmers in India but also to change the mindset of the society against the women.
"For our society, only men are the farmers. The truth is that women outnumber men in agriculture even though they have the least land in their possession thanks to the discriminatory land-holding laws. What hurts us the most is that our contribution goes unrecognised," lamented a woman leader of the Bhartiya Kisan Morcha.
"We are looked upon as mere labourers, not as farmers that we are even though we do all kinds of jobs related to farming i.e. sowing, tilling, harvesting etc. Leave alone land rights we aren't even supposed to demand our rightful share of the farm income. Women in India can only get their land rights transferred only through various personal laws. Traditionally, agricultural land in the country has been transferred through wills. Women have to face a lot of discrimination and resistance from their own families while claiming their possession of the land," said another participant.
According to Global Greengrant Funds report, "Woman farmers, the invisible face of agriculture in India", published on April 9, 2013, "in the Himalayan region of India a pair of Ox works 1,064 hours, a man 1,212 hours and a woman works 3,485 hours in a year in the farms". The data is significant as testifies to an important contribution of women in the farm produce.
The history of feminism in India is particularly dominated by the fight against culture-specific issues within the patriarchal society and fight for equal inheritance laws has been one of the biggest challenges for the feminist movement.
Despite laws on their side, they have to struggle to change the patriarchal mindset. Social conditioning is such that it bars women from getting their due as equal stakeholders in the men's world. While all other aspects of agriculture are dominated by men, the labour is left with the women. Thus women are deprived of their share and the right to make decisions about their land, produce and income.
While debating over the controversial farm laws, we lose sight of a longstanding demand for reforms to make the agricultural sector more women-friendly. We routinely observe National Women Farmers' Day every year on October 15. It's time we, as a nation, took some concrete steps to render justice to these farm women to demonstrate that we really care. We care for those who ensure our bread and butter, don't we?

The New York bedsore injury attorneys of Nursing Home Law Center LLC are committed to securing justice on behalf of the many victims who suffer from neglectful and negligent nursing care throughout the city and state of New York. The failure of many nursing homes to provide adequate care to residents with health conditions that elevate their risk of developing pressure sores is unforgivable. Rather than invest in staff members and programs that ensure patients are taken care of and comfortable, these facilities often cut staff and refuse to properly invest in safety measures in order to pad profits at the expense of those they serve.
New York is the largest city in the United States and home to over 8.5 million people. The senior population represents just over 12% of that total, exhibiting the need for senior services throughout the city. In addition to those who are currently over the age of 65, there is a large group of residents rapidly nearing their age of retirement. It is only a matter of time before many of these people will require assistive care.
The NYC Department for the Aging provides programs for aging residents through senior centers located throughout the city. These programs include those aimed at the needs of minorities and the LGBT community, so there are activities and services available for everyone. For more information, you may visit the Department for the Aging website at http://www.nyc.gov/html/dfta/html/services/centers.shtml.
With over 305 nursing homes located throughout the New York area, there are plenty of choices available for those who are considering placing their loved ones under professional care. In fact, there seem to be too many choices for those who are frustrated and anxious about the histories of the centers they are considering. Our New York pressure sore lawyers recommend using the nursing home compare tool provided by Medicare to narrow your search.
This tool grades facilities based on their health inspection records, staff quality and history of fines so that you can eliminate the centers that have a history of abuse and neglect from your search. To use the tool, visit https://www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare.
When patients who are unable to get around very well on their own are left in the same position for extended periods, the weight of their bodies can cut off circulation throughout their body at their joints. It doesn't take very long for tissue to begin dying after this occurs and the tissue death over time can result in open wounds that fester and become infected. It is implausible that any attentive caregiver could fail to notice that a patient is developing these sore, which is what makes it appalling to learn a loved one has highly advanced sores that require emergency treatment.
One of the ways nursing homes are guarding their profits is by reducing staff levels to unacceptably low levels so that they can reduce overhead. This manner of saving money comes at the cost of residents, whose needs are ranked in priority by overworked caregivers who are unable to meet the needs of every patient.
If your loved one has suffered from a pressure ulcer, it is likely that he or she is the victim of systemic neglect. Nursing Home Law Center LLC has worked on behalf of thousands of nursing abuse victims to hold negligent facilities accountable for placing profits ahead of delivering the quality of service they've promised.
Contact us today to arrange a free consultation with an award winning New York bedsore injury attorney so that we can evaluate your claim and discuss your legal options. If we are unable to secure compensation on your behalf, you are assured that our services will be completely free of charge.

Microsoft Windows Azure is laying down the prime number gauntlet in the shape of a new challenge that aims to discover new prime numbers.
The Prime Challenge, which got underway on 29 November, is open to businesses, schools, universities, clubs and individuals with the company inviting anyone to look for 'hidden' primes.
"The biggest prime number ever discovered is 17 million decimal digits long. Previously, the biggest prime number was 12 million digits long. It's a lot of digits, but there is also a big gap between those two. Potentially there are a lot of "lost primes" waiting to be discovered," said Steve Plank, Cloud Computing and STEM Evangelist at Microsoft.
Anyone that is looking to take part in the challenge can go to www.primechallenge.org, where there are further instructions on the contest and how to enter.
"The identification of new prime numbers is increasingly challenging, but possible for anyone. Forty per cent of the numbers between one and ten are prime but, as we progress up the number line, they taper off and become sparser. But in reality, as we get much further up the number line nobody really knows as nobody has ever searched for them all," Plank added.
Prime numbers play an integral role in the business sector and are used to construct public key cryptography algorithms that act to make online data transfers secure, including email encryption and bank card security. It means that almost all online purchases use prime numbers in their security process. The numbers are also at the centre of arithmetic and numerous functional applications in the digital world.
The Microsoft Windows Azure Prime Challenge runs until 29 March and particpants are able to subscribe to a free trial of Microsoft Windows Azure that gives them $200 worth of free access.

Horbury School - Green Roof
Horbury School
Project: Horbury School, Wakefield
Area: 1,500 m²
Completion Date: February 2009
Contractor: Watershed (Roofing) Ltd, Bradford
Client: Wakefield Metropolitan District Council
Specifier: NPS Group
Main Contractor: Miller Construction Ltd, Normanton
System: SureWeld TPO, Extensive Sedum Roof, Monarfloor Tranquilt
Download this case study
Designed by NPS North East property consultants, and built by Miller Construction the building is steel-frame with metal stud and plasterboard internal walls, with heavyweight concrete floors and roofs to help to reduce overheating. This provides good levels of acoustic separation and reduces fabric heat losses to 10% lower than Building Regulations requirements.
The new school project was phased over a three-year programme, with demolition and rebuilding on the 11,500m² site continuing while the 1000 pupil school remained open.
The brief for the new school was to design a college based on the Building Schools for the Future layouts, and this included the requirement of a "very good" sustainability rating, as measured through the BRE's Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM).
Icopal's Monarfloor Tranquilt lightweight acoustic isolation system is capable of exceeding the requirements of the Part E & Building Bulletin 93 regulations in terms of impact and airborne sound insulation. It was installed under the floor screed on the ground and first floors including beneath the canteen and meeting areas of the central atrium to limit noise transmission.
In addition on phase one, Icopal's extensive sedum green roof system incorporating the Total Torch and Rootbar capsheet system, was installed by Watershed Roofing on the roofs of the science and art and design technology classrooms.
On the other roof areas, Watershed Roofing installed Icopal's Sure-Weld TPO which is a fully recyclable advanced Thermoplastic Polyolefin single-ply roofing membrane that is free of PVC and specially formulated for long-term exposure Without the use of either polymeric or liquid plasticisers.
The three types of building membrane from Icopal have helped the new £22 million school in Wakefield achieve its 'very good' BREEAM rating.
The project had a tight programme which was hindered by bad weather but the Icopal products performed very well and the end result is excellent.
The school was officially re-opened in July 2009 by Ed Balls MP, the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families.

An Agricultural Research Service scientist has developed a patented machine vision system for automating cotton gins that is now being manufactured commercially. The system uses color video cameras for a hands-off monitoring of the "on-the-fly" flow of cotton and attendant debris through the many machines that make up a modern cotton gin.
Mathew G. Pelletier, an agricultural engineer with the ARS Cotton Production and Processing Research Unit in Lubbock, Texas, invented the system. Its real-time monitoring of "trash" content will enable cotton ginners to move closer to an automated system that seems inevitable in the near future. It can advise ginners or automatically turn cleaners on and off, depending on trash content.

Photo: fire at the Wigwam
I recently met Rose Dillenbeck, the daughter of "Jack" Snitchler, the owner of the Wigwam when it burned in 1947. I was able to share a Sandy Creek News story on the fire, a history of that historic hotel and photographs with her.
Sandy Creek News: $30,000 Fire Levels Hotel at Sandy Pond. Flames sweep Wigwam, Nearby Cottages Saved. Historic Wigwam Hotel at Sandy Pond was leveled by fire late Thursday afternoon as firemen from two communities, aided by snowplows, bucked drifts and a blinding blizzard to reach the scene of the blaze. Loss of the 40-room structure was unofficially placed at $30,000. About 10 guests in the hotel, which was operated in the winter as an accommodation for ice fishermen escaped uninjured when flames broke out in the kitchen from an undetermined cause. Fanned by a gale-like wind, the fire spread rapidly as apparatus from Sandy Creek and Ringgold Fire Company of Pulaski struggled to reach the scene.
Snowplows were pressed into service to clear the road for the trucks. The plow opened the road into the Wigwam, but the snow was so deep the firetruck was unable to get to the water of the pond and the only supply available was that in the booster tank, which was inadequate for a fire of that size and headway. A bucket brigade was used to supplement the booster tank, and the department sent back to Sandy Creek for an auxiliary pump, which however arrived too late to be used in saving the hotel. The Pulaski Fire Department was called soon after Sandy Creek and arrived at the height of the fire and saving the nearby cottage owned by Mr. Hippic of Syracuse. This cottage which was in the path of the flames was only slightly damaged, the paint being somewhat blistered. The fire which broke out about 3:30 pm also leveled a nearby cottage owned by the hotel, but firemen were able to prevent the spread of the flames to a group of nearby cottages. During the fire an explosion occurred, which it is believed was caused by the hot water tank blowing up, Mr. Snitchler stated.
The Hotel, a two-story frame structure, was built about 50 years ago by Bert Ostrander of Syracuse. He operated it until his death about 20 years ago. Since then it has been conducted by Leslie B. Price, Paul R. Hadley, Kenneth Buckland and its present owner, C. A. Snitchler. The Hotel was situated on the south shore of North Pond at Sandy Pond.

WEEKLY SERVICE
Copy of SERMONS
The beginnings of the parish date back to the 1850s when a school house (also used as a church) was built on the corner of Pleasant and Mair Streets.
In 1861 the "Western township" separated from Christ Church on Lydiard St, and became a parish in its own right.
The site of the present church was bought for £200 in 1864, and the main part of the current church, or "nave", was completed in 1865 when the church opened for worship.
The stained glass of the church, both behind the main altar and in the Chapel emphasise the three great "theological virtues" — faith, hope and love.
The vision of the parish is embodied in these virtues, faith coming to the fore in the quality of its worship, love in the fellowship its members enjoy with each other and in their service to the community, and hope in the determination of the parish to place its trust in God's promises about the kingdom of heaven and eternal life.
The parish encompasses the southern part of Lake Wendouree, Newington and Alfredton, as well as the new build areas of Lucas, Miner's Rest and the Western Growth Corridor.
Despite this, members of the church come from all over Ballarat and even further afield, drawn by the beauty of the building, their family connections and their love of good Anglican music and preaching.
Everyone is welcome at St Peter's.
St Peter's is an Anglican congregation for all ages in the heart of Ballarat West. We love our bluestone church which dates back to the 1860s and which speaks to us of God's peace and love. Pay us a visit. Perhaps it will speak to you too.

Before you can really understand photography, you have to know your light. It's the essence of every image. Photography means drawing or painting with light. It's much more than simply capturing images with your camera, it's about creating them.
To make your photography stand out, you need to take control of the situation no matter what the light or time of day is. You do this by knowing your light and understanding the direction and distance. It's not only about having the right light shaping tools. You also need to know how to use these tools. And that's where Profoto Academy can help you.
Our photographers and instructors will equip you with the knowledge and skills to become a better photographer. It's an investment every bit as important as the flash you use or the lens you choose. Because it makes you better at what you do.
Watch online videos up to 60 minutes long and choose from four different fields of photography.

Just because you're on the front lines of your small business talking to customers all day doesn't mean you really know what they think. In fact, being so close to your customers can cause you to be a bit blinded to what they are really thinking.
Google form surveys are a great way to collect customer feedback data. However, if you use them "straight out of the box" the link provided by Google gives you a stand-alone survey that doesn't look very nice.
What would be really nice would be to be able to drop the survey into your website and have it take on the same look and feel. It's easier than you might think.
There are three different ways you can embed the form on your site. Progressing from simple but still looking like a Google form to more complex but fitting in completely with your website.
It's been around since 2003 and it just keeps getting more traction. Net Promoter Score has been a revolution in the customer feedback industry and it is just as applicable to small business as it is to global corporates.
Don't be so sure. Customer feedback of all types and NPS in particular can be used effectively in businesses of all sizes, including small and medium B2B businesses.

Q: ObjectUnsubscribedError when navigating in event handler I got a navigation service
import { Injectable, Output, EventEmitter } from 'angular2/core';

@Injectable()
export class NavigationService
{
    @Output() navigating = new EventEmitter();
    navigate(param: number) {
    this.navigating.emit({ param})
    }
}

which I subscribe for in my app.component
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    constructor(private _router: Router,
        private _navigationService: NavigationService) {
    }
    ngOnInit() {
    this._navigationService.navigating
        .subscribe(data => {
            this._router.navigate(['SomeView', { param: data.param}]);
        })
    }
}

Navigation actually happens, but on the console I get this error:

EXCEPTION: Error: Uncaught (in promise): ObjectUnsubscribedError
  browser_adapter.ts:73

(cut for brevity).
I don't know what to make of this, my guess is that 'AppComponent' is unsubscribed from navigating, but that shouldn't matter should it?

A: You don't need to use the Output decorator in services:
@Output() navigating = new EventEmitter();

Should be simply:
navigating = new EventEmitter();

The @Ouptut decorator is for components that want to expose custom events.

There is Great Imminent Danger in Producing Generation of Young Citizens in Educational Institutions - ALAAFIN
His Imperial Majesty, Oba [Dr.] Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi 111, the Alaafin of Oyo, is indisputably a traditional ruler with distinction..
Indisputably, the monarch brought elegance into the traditional institution, not only in Oyo but also in Yorubaland.
Obviously, the story of Yoruba is not complete if you leave out the Iku Baba Yeye, Alase Orisa as he is popularly called.
Not only does he impresses the knowledgeable audience with his mastery of colonial history, his captivating speeches usually attract rounds of standing ovations that leave the audience wondering if he is indeed a monarch or a visiting professor of African History.
A story teller and incorrigible performer, Alaafin remained the first African monarch to hold the John F. Kennedy Airport in the United States (US) spell-bound with a large consignment of traditional drummers who thrilled every passenger with delightful tunes.
It was when the paramount ruler was invited by captains of industry of the American Chambers of Commerce and Industry held at Dallas some years ago.
Among the Obas in Yorubaland, he distinguishes himself as a custodian of Yoruba's cultural heritage.
When Alaafin speaks in Yoruba and English Languages, you marvel at his depth of knowledge.
You just don't want him to stop. He is a repertoire of history and knowledge.
Despite the fact that he is 82, when he begins to talk about historical events both local and international, with statistics and date, then you wonder how he remembers all these things.
He is a beauty to behold when he dances rhythmically to traditional music, as his dance steps go in tandem with tunes of the music. .
The contributions of Oba Adeyemi to the preservation and promotion of Yoruba culture, his efforts toward the unity and progress of the Yoruba as well as promotion of the traditional institution are unquantifiable.
He is an epitome of intelligence, repository of knowledge culture and symbol of intellectualism in royalty.
In an exclusive interview with one of our Editors, BODE DUROJAIYE, to commemorate his 81th birthday held recently, the royal phenomenon spoke on wide range of contemporary issues.
ON TRADITIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Obas must be educated, literate, enlightened, civilized, dynamic, current, lively and not only open to new ideas and suggestions, but must not be too rigid, conservative, myopic and parochial if he must be a successful Oba of the 21st Century. While Obas must be above board in personal conducts, they must be a respectable dung hill. Settlement of inter-personal, inter-ethic and communal disputes or conflicts is another critical area where the Oba could be very central in democratic consolidation and sustainability. This is due to the fact that conflict is part and parcel of human coexistence but peaceful resolution of conflict is one of the hallmarks of democracy and development.
If we adopt the traditional methods of conflict resolution as alternative to the modern judiciary, it would go a long way in improving our current justice system which has not only been over-stretched but also grossly abused. The position here is that the Oba at the centre of traditional justice system could achieve rapid peaceful resolution of inter-personal and communal disputes which have become clog on the wheel of our progress and development.
The Obas have been doing this at the local level but this need to be backed and strengthened by formal governmental authority and recognitions. Apart from the advisory role given to the traditional institutions in the current democratic dispensation, Obas should be seen as the coordinator of general community development as he has natural capability to successfully act as adjudicator, mediator, intercessor and facilitator of community projects and programmes.
Obas plays a distinctive
role as the ultimate source of supernatural power and authority that sanction and reinforce public morality. It is pressed into full service to maintain social order, peace and harmony.
African traditions believe that success in life; including the gift of off-spring, wealth and prosperity, are all blessings from the gods and ancestors. They accrue to people who work hard, and who strictly adhere to the customs, and traditional norms of morality of the community, people who strictly uphold the community ideal of harmonious living. Only such people could entertain a real hope of achieving the highly esteemed status of ancestor-hood in the hereafter. The vast majority of norms, taboos and prohibitions is directed towards protecting the community and promoting peace and harmony. Communal farmland, economic interests like the market-place, stream, or shrine are generally surrounded with taboos, including who may or may not enter, and when and under what circumstances people are permitted or not to enter such places''.i
In other words, traditional rulers have been grossly under-utilized given the enormous potentials inherent in their offices, positions and influence. Therefore, they should be accorded a pride of place in our development strategies so that we can fully tap their enormous natural potentials and powers. Obas must be seen as the symbols of the people's past, custodian of their history and past, upholder and preserver of their culture, customs, an epitome of cultural norms and values of the society such as truth, discipline, courage and responsibility.
Obas must show a sympathetic understanding for the traditions, customs and religion of the people. Without sounding fetish or anti-Christ, the Oba must not only be knowledgeable in the history and customs of his people but he must also be sympathetic to the traditional religions, festivals and rites of his kingdom. This is to ensure that he continues to enjoy the respect, obedience and reverence from his people because his authority and power actually come from the traditions of the people.
Unfortunately, over the years, some traditional rulers have shown total disregard to traditions and customs of their people by engaging in a host of other heinous acts. How do we fathom an Oba who drinks alcohol publicly, an Oba cursing his citizens; an Oba who abuses wearing of crown, and Oba who desecrates culture and traditions?.
ON NATIONAL SECURITY
The police must employ native intelligence services in a bid to effectively tackle critical security challenges confronting the country. Security of any country is critical for development, economic prosperity and democratic principles to thrive adding that the critical issue is the way a country deploys its strategic security responses to protect the citizens. Nigeria is not the only country facing security challenges today. The fundamental thing is how you deal with these challenges. We can sustain national security operations or options by using native intelligence gathering as a response to national security threat.
The Old Oyo Empire lasted 600years because of effective native internal security. It is important for government to take holistic view on information gathering as a system for addressing insecurity. It must take into consideration the need to harmonise the roles of law enforcement and security agencies and the need to deploy technologies required for identification of criminal suspect. Three quarter of the universe is in a state of unrest due to lack of effective internal security...
However, we must commend service Chiefs, the Inspector General of Police, State Commissioners of Police for their un-relentless commitment in combating crimes and criminal activities.
In Our metropolis for instance, criminal activities in Oyo town and its environs such as stealing, burglary and kidnapping have been drastically reduced due to concerted efforts of the officers and men.
My people have not been reporting about any untoward acts by the police. The officers and men are indeed responsible, dutiful and diligent to their duties.
The youths are often called the potential leaders of the nation hence their role in building a sustainable economic development is essential by integrating them into the national policies and decision making. They need an active involvement in participating with the current political and economic leaders to foster inter-generational dialogue hereby enhancing adequate transitional shift. They should equally be actively involved in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) agenda. This is because they constitute the major resource base for any country that want to embark on any meaningful development project. Young people must be trained and as quickly as possible, to provide leadership in Agriculture, Industry, Government and Economic Development Projects. They must be developed intellectually, morally, socially and with relevant skills to face a rapidly advancing technological world.
Nigeria has a youthful population of close to 70 to 80 million, which is about 55 to 60 per cent of her population. Of this youthful population, more than 80 per cent are unemployed while about ten per cent are under-employed. The estimated 10 per cent in employment are burdened and depressed with near total dependence of relative and family members. Given the right combination of motivation, knowledge, ideas and opportunities, Corps members are more than able to establish productive and creative businesses. Engaging in entrepreneurship will lift you from being "job seekers" to "job creators," and also from social dependence to self sufficiency. With self-employment, you can also contribute to the upkeep of your families. Entrepreneurship in Nigeria is a major avenue to increasing the rate of economic growth, create job opportunities, reduce import of manufactured goods and decrease the trade deficits that result from such imports. The influx and encouragement of youths into ventures will definitely help salvage our wasting economy.
There is therefore need for both the Federal and State Governments to place values on education and skills acquisition as the only way out of present economic doldrums. Youths need to develop an acute appetite for learning and knowledge without which civillisation crumbles. Nigerian youths need to hunger for relevant facts and skills, thereby seeking solutions to the challenges facing us through enhanced mental capacity. This is the foundation to any true renaissance.
Unless political parties brace up and refocus their operational modes, there may not be end to brazen impunity, monumental corruption, alarming poverty as well as unemployment rates characterized by irresponsible leadership in the country.For political parties to live up to their responsibilities and be reckoned with as responsible, certain rules must be enforced to aid pragmatic governance. Political parties should be able to organize debates for both the incumbents and new aspirants, in order to ensure that credible and dedicated candidates who are really determined to serve the people are given the mandate. With such steps, if adhered to by political parties will prevent most aspirants who have no clear-cut and result oriented programme of actions for the people, but only with the ulterior intention of treasury looting and amass of ill-gotten wealth to the detriment of the teeming impoverished populace. In the 21st century, the country needs personalities with high cerebral to phantom the much desired development for the well being of all and sundry.
Common indices of the well-being of the society should include peace, the existence of rule of law, socio-economic progress and the safety and comfort of the citizenry. Unfortunately these ideals have not been achieved in the country because of the tendency of those in positions of authority seeking their personal well-being first and sometimes try to do this at the expense of the down-trodden people. They place themselves in advantageous positions by subverting the commonly accepted rules of conduct and goal attainment.
There is great imminent danger in producing generation of young citizens in educational institutions, who possess little or no appreciation of the past, as a people, and as a nation. Society, through leadership in public service, must begin to de-emphasize rewards for corruption and ill- gotten wealth, but rather put emphasis on hard work, innovation, Productivity and humanitarians. These are features of the values of which are part of the culture of America and Japan, leaders of the west and East. They are basic waits which brings out the beauty of the human spirit to solve complex social, political and economic problems. A right thinking person should be worried about the prevailing corrosive moral turpitude that has become the daily diet in the nation's political life, in consistencies in policy formulation and implementation in the education sector, and palpable, unambiguous hunger for education among the terming youth population. The wave of poverty and unemployment has made nonsense of young peoples' determination to honestly pursue excellence.
The Country must have a culture that is pro- life, in which a change in orientation and social values from materialism and acquisition of stupendous wealth, for the purpose of oppressing the less- privileged, to a more human social order, where every human life is valued as sacred and inviolable, must take place. The value placed on human life will inform policy makers in government to realize that there is a higher purpose to their calling as public officials. We must realize the formulating and implementing policies which will serve to benefit only the children of the wealthy, stifle intellectual curiosity in academic institutions, frustrate teaching professionals and parents and make our best brain find greater comfort in overseas schools (or local cult groups) will not serve the interest of our country. Government must consciously bring education to the reach of all its citizens, through increased subsidized funding of indigent groups, and viable public- private partnerships in research and development ventures. The employment of private financing options in critical areas of innovation and infrastructural development, which polytechnics and other vocational centres can very well contribute.
There is need for encouragement of private enterprises to make endowments to particular field in colleges and universities especially in agriculture, financial and petroleum fields. This will further ensure that these fields continue to attract, train and retrain expertise within the educational system rather than losing bright stars emphasis, to the industrial sector. The continued liberalization of the tertiary education sector, if not controlled, will only result in a faster rate of producing "university graduates" with low quality, due massive strain on teachers and teaching facilities. In this regard, the historian submitted that the curriculum at the secondary level and vocational schools need to be more industry- focused, with greater emphases on practical skills. This will ensure, over time that we gradually progress towards the build- up of a critical mass of highly skilled technical manpower for use by the industrial and manufacturing sectors. The creeping denial of a good measure of university autonomy is unacceptable. The policy of uniformity by any method enforced can only breed mediocrity.
ON WOMEN AND RURAL POVERTY
Widespread and persistent hunger and poverty are fundamental contradictions in today's world. On the basis of the "one-dollar-a-day threshold", findings revealed that there are 1.2 billion poor people in developing countries. Of these, 780 million suffer from chronic hunger, which means that their daily intake of calories is insufficient for them to live active and healthy lives. Nigeria as a nation is a country of 140 million citizens. Also, statistics from the Food and Agricultural Organisation [FAO] showed that with the existence of over 780 million chronically hungry people in the developing world today, there is something fundamentally wrong in the distribution of food and the resources with which to access it.
The concept of development stands not only on the quantitative value of growth but also on the qualitative factors of livelihood, which is the fulfillment of basic human necessities i.e. provision of basic infrastructure, shelter, food, health, education and safe water. These are big challenges for the governments of developing countries. In developing countries, national development requires a major re-ordering of human society. The economy of any nation is as important as the lives of individuals within the nation. To ensure this quality therefore, there is urgent need to keep the economy buoyant at all times. This to say the least is responsibility of all citizens – male and female, young and old. Poverty alleviation is a microcosmic strand out of the many divergent means of achieving national development. According to former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Boutrous Ghalli, for maximum use of human capital, all human resources should be fully utilized for maximum output. He said development has to do with improvement of human well – being, removal of hunger, disease and ignorance, and productive employment for all. Its goal must be to end poverty and satisfy the priority needs of all people in a way that can be productively sustained over future generations.
Poverty is on the increase, as over 30 percent of the populace live in poverty. These reports, by the United Nations Development Programme [UNDP] identify women and children as groups that are most vulnerable. Most of the poor in Nigeria are women who as a result of poor educational opportunity and the responsibilities of matrimonial homes have to fight to survive. Many of such women engage in inferior economic enterprises that are sole entrepreneurial activities with a very low financial base. This situation is what the World Development Report defined as poverty "the inability to attain a minimum standard of living. The National Population Commission (NPC) puts the population of women in Nigeria at 68.3 million and the female population are contributing 70 percent of labour force in agriculture. It was no surprise therefore that the present administration under President Muhammadu Buhari, and the ruling party, All Progressives Congress [APC] identified alleviation as a major prerequisite to national resuscitation.
The need to address poverty, equity and gender arises from the fact that both men and women are both integral parts of national and economic development policies and programs. It is realized that improvement in the quality of life of the people as productive agents must be the central objective of development policies for economic development. Improvements in human development directly affect an economy positively. The development of a nation is based on both the human capital as well as physical capital of that nation.
Focus on human resources development is one of the fastest and most effective means of alleviating poverty and achieving national rebirth in the country. This would be better done through an emancipation and empowerment of the female gender. The present administration is doing its best to revamp the economy and is committed determined to improve sociology economic lives of the teeming impoverished citizens. We must laud their unalloyed efforts.
However, both Federal and State Governments must focus on human resources development as one of the fastest and most effective means of alleviating poverty and achieving national rebirth in the country. Hunger and poverty will remain at unacceptable levels unless purposeful action is taken to give them higher policy priority, mobilise resources to fight them directly, as well as towards agriculture and rural development. Placing the Millienium Development Goals [MDGs] at the centre of financing for Development is a step in the right direction.
ON CULTURE AND TRADITIONS
I am disturbed at the gradual extinction of Yoruba Customs and traditions, and how modernisation has been allowed to bombard Yoruba traditions. As things move at the present time, it will be disastrous if we fold our arms allowing our traditions to dwindle into oblivion in the face of permissiveness.
How many Yoruba sons and daughters can brilliantly articulate their local language? It is frightening that our own language is dangling on the pit of extinction while preference is accorded foreign language, which is English. Languages often hold the only record of a people's history, including their songs, stories, praise poetry and ancient traditions. In particular, many indigenous cultures contain a wealth of information about the local environment and its floral and faunal resources, based upon thousands of years of close interaction, experience, and problem-solving. With the extinction of a language, therefore, mankind also loses access to local understanding of plants, animals, and ecosystems, some of which have important medicinal value, and many of which remain undocumented by science.
Thus, the survival of threatened languages, and the indigenous knowledge contained within, is an important aspect of maintaining biological diversity. Languages are now becoming extinct faster than birds, mammals, fish or plants. Of the estimated 7,000 unique languages spoken in the world today, nearly half are likely to disappear this century, with an average of one lost every two weeks. It is most likely that in less than 50 years from now, even some major Nigerian languages, if not encouraged, can become extinct, and lecturers in our Universities would have cause to excite their students with great lectures in a course on, say, 'ancient' Igbo or "ancient" Yoruba languages, and of which they would speak thus, with nostalgia, 'They once flourished in the distant past but have now become extinct'. This is a disheartening possibility for anyone who cares about our indigenous languages, the history and unrecorded knowledge they carry within them.
African traditional religion clearly plays a distinctive role as the ultimate source of supernatural power and authority that sanction and reinforce public morality. It is pressed into full service to maintain social order, peace and harmony. Traditional Africans believe that success in life; including the gift of off-spring, wealth and prosperity, are all blessings from the gods and ancestors. They accrue to people who work hard, and who strictly adhere to the customs, and traditional norms of morality of the community, people who strictly uphold the community ideal of harmonious living. Only such people could entertain a real hope of achieving the highly esteemed status of ancestor-hood in the hereafter. The vast majority of norms, taboos and prohibitions is directed towards protecting the community and promoting peace and harmony. Communal farmland, economic interests like the market-place, stream, or shrine are generally surrounded with taboos, including who may or may not enter, and when and under what circumstances people are permitted or not to enter such places.
Stealing is abhorred. It is in fact, an abomination to steal things relating to people's vital
life-interests and occupation. Religion may be distinct and separate from
morality, as many scholars have rightly argued. For traditional Africans, however, the line dividing the two is very thin indeed. African traditional religion plays a crucial role in the ethical dynamics of the different groups. In the traditional African background, 'gods serve as police men'. African traditional world-views invariably outline a vision of reality that is, at once ethical in content and orientation. Human beings and their world are the focal centre of a highly integrated universe. Human conduct is seen as key in upholding the delicate balance believed to exist between the visible world and the invisible one.
What is more, as Africa continues to re-write its history and stride into the Millennium, there is urgent need for leaders in the continent to begin a systematic documentation of what they have in the name of cultural property. These should include objects made by our forefathers, the monuments of the land and things created by us today that would become of historic importance tomorrow. Africa is opening up herself to the world in a way that she had never done in the past. We are no longer ''the Dark Continent'' and Africans are no longer ''the primitives'' the civilizations that ounce flourished in Africa have become the issue in
the Art world today. The head-count of our cultural property should be properly and fully documented. in this regard, our museums have the primary responsibility to ensure that such National Registers are created. These great cultural materials across Africa put together today, belong to Africa and to humanity collectively.
While we cannot deny the advantages of rapid expansion in our modern world, such progress on the other hand imperils the irreplaceable heritage of nature and culture, essential to the equilibrium and happiness of mankind. This, in turn, leads to a situation where cultures vanish with the disappearance of the economic and social systems which brought them into being. Even human groups, the victims of thoughtless and too sudden evolution, perish, and for the human sciences such as history of art, archaeology, and anthropology, loss ensues, as well as frustration and misery for mankind if all the objects and places of historic importance are not appropriately recorded and documented.

More than two-thirds of German PV installers are now offering energy storage options to their customers, and British and Italian counterparts are starting to do the same, according to a new report from EuPD Research. PV Tech reports that EuPD found Germany has the biggest uptake, because a percentage of storage system costs are paid as a direct subsidy to consumers. One third of Italian installers and a third of British installers surveyed said that they would begin offering storage this year. French installers did not intend to offer any more storage systems because electricity prices remained relatively low.
PV Tech said solar PV companies including Renesola, Sharp Solar and inverter maker Power One all had already launched storage systems for residential customers or had products being prepared for launch to key markets, such as Germany. Andrew Lee, general manager at Sharp Energy Solution Europe's solar commercial sales division, told PV Tech that storage makes economic sense "if you look at the figures, depending on your system size and your own usage in other countries where there aren't incentives." He said the possibility of enabling self-consumption as a potential strong driver for the storage market.
The Victorian government named Russell Northe – the MP for Morwell, where a fire has been burning in the brown coal mine of the same name for nearly a month now – as its new energy minister. It is, as one NGO described it, an appointment from "ground zero". The fire at the Hazelwood open cut coal mine created huge amounts of pollution, and evacuations, although it is said to have been brought under control at the weekend, although not yet extinguished.
Cam Walker, of Friends of the Earth, said Victoria's energy policy has been confused under the conservative state government, which has been encouraging the development of polluting unconventional gas and coal allocations, while scrapping incentives for solar and banning wind farms across the state. "In the wake of the Hazelwood fire, it is clear that the government's plan to develop a coal export industry is doomed to fail" he said.
The government has also been criticized for its handling of the Morwell fire. "The fire may be contained, but the impact on the ground is like a tsunami — thousands of people have fled Morwell, there is coal ash everywhere, schools and businesses are still closed," Voices of the Valley president Simon Ellis told the local newspaper.
Listed energy management company, Energy Action says it has paid $4 million for specialist energy efficiency business, Exergy Holdings, which was founded and led by Paul Bannister. The business that focuses on energy efficiency services to its customers, including assessments, retro- commissions and building tuning, environmental performance monitoring, ratings (NABERS, Green Star), lighting design and review, building performance simulation and new building design assistance services.
Exergy employs over 30 staff and has offices in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland. The acquisition comprises an initial cash payment of $2.0 million with additional consideration of $2.0 million based on performance. It represents an EBITDA multiple of 5.4 times.

Q: Fabric JS + Angular2: Objects shifted after mouse up during free drawing mode I am facing an issue when using FabricJS and Angular2 where by during free drawing mode, whatever object i draw will end up shifted either to the left or up. For example, I started drawing this vertical line at the canvas:
See the location of the line during mouse down
When I am done, the resulting line end up shifted up like in this picture:
After mouse up, the line shifted to left
I have searched thru google but it seems very few or almost none encounter this issue. And this only happen with free drawing mode. Is there anything that i do wrong with the way i set up the canvas or fabric js?

A: Hello this look like a bug that was in the latest fabric before beta7.
Updating should solve.


Stroll spent last season at the dismal Williams, who finished rock-bottom of the constructors' championship. At times, the young Canadian showed glimpses of his quality in the Williams car, but the car was a disaster - meaning he could only pick up six points all campaign.
A year later, following his father, Lawrence Stroll's takeover of Force India (now Racing Point), things are looking brighter for Stroll. He partners Sergio Perez, replacing Esteban Ocon for this season at the British side.
The 20-year-old managed a ninth-place finish in Australia at the weekend, four places above his new team-mate Perez (13th).
After the race, Stroll said excitedly: "Finally I have a race car! I'm really happy with my race. We had a good pace and kept our rivals behind us. This is what I expected before the season."
Stroll qualified in 16th-place, and shot up the grid (aided by a few retirements, of course), but overall drove a very impressive race on his debut for Racing Point - and has put the pressure on Perez already to compete with him this season, after many questioned the decision from the hierarchy at the team to pick him instead of the impressive Ocon for this season.
