At least 6 countries reimposed lockdown measures as new coronavirus cases flared up again. Here's what they looked like.
At least six countries have had to restart their coronavirus lockdowns weeks after loosening them.
China, Germany, Iran, South Korea, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia all reimposed partial new measures after discovering a spike in infections.
The renewed lockdowns are often limited to various districts where the virus has spiked, or limited to particular aspects such as travel restrictions or a curfew.
The decision to ease lockdown measures may not have been dictated solely by public health: many of these six countries have been under political or economic pressure to reopen.
Governments around the world have been eyeing how to bring their populations out of lockdown, with several starting to ease their strict measures.
But at least six countries have had to reimpose restrictions in recent weeks, mainly due to a spike in new infections. Many of these countries had also been under economic and political pressure to reopen.
The renewed lockdowns — some of them total, others partial — are yet to show their effects. But in the coming weeks, they may well give crucial clues about which measures work best as the rest of the world reopens.

China has had a piecemeal reopening
China — where the first coronavirus case was discovered, and the first to impose a lockdown — has had a stop-start reopening the country.
It first closed the city of Wuhan in late January, and gradually shut other regions until around half the country's population was under some form of restriction by mid-February.
By early March, new reported cases of the coronavirus had slowed to 200 per day or fewer. At the end of the month, the country rolled out a series of reopenings. As of Thursday, the country has seen no more than 36 new cases per day in an entire month.
But reopening has not been a simple process, with authorities in several cities and regions abruptly reversing their decisions at various moments.
On March 23, cinemas were allowed to reopen nationwide, but three days later, they were ordered to close again.
Wuhan residents were told on March 28, after months of lockdown, that they could leave their homes, only for the decision to be reversed five days later.
On Monday, Wuhan reported six new cases, breaking a 35-day streak of zero daily new cases. The government has not reimposed a lockdown but is testing all 11 million residents.

Germany focuses on districts with flare-ups
Germany is gradually reopening, but has had to quickly clamp down on districts that have seen sudden spikes of new cases.
Some shops and schools have reopened, and according to Reuters, the country intends to relax border controls on Saturday.
However, on May 8, local governments had to activate emergency measures in three districts that have seen flare-ups of the virus.
All the spikes were associated with local meatpacking centers in the states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein, according to Deutsche Welle.
The emergency measures activated in those districts — all relatively small areas — included limiting public movements and mandating coronavirus testing for all plant workers.
Indeed, while announcing the lifting of lockdown measures on May 6, German Chancellor Angela Merkel had said she stood ready to pull an "emergency brake" on newfound freedoms if necessary.
The country is seeing an overall decline in new cases and has for several days kept the R rate — which notes how many people the average person can infect with COVID-19 — below one.

South Korea clamps down after a club-district outbreak
Throughout its outbreak, South Korea has been admired for its mass-testing and tracing capabilities. On Monday, it ramped up those programs again when it discovered a new outbreak.
Daily new cases, which had lingered at around ten or below for weeks, jumped to 34 on May 9. Many of the cases can be traced to a single nightclub district, Itaewon, in Seoul.
Thirty-four daily new cases is a small figure compared to global averages, but was enough to alarm South Korea, which had considered itself as having a good handle on the outbreak.
Bars and clubs in Seoul have since been shuttered again, and the reopening of schools and some businesses have also been delayed, according to the Straits Times.
The new lockdown came less than a week after officials had removed social-distancing restrictions and told the country to get ready for the start of "a new everyday life with the coronavirus," The Post reported.

Iran locks one province to continue reopening
Iran, which was one of the earliest coronavirus hotspots, imposed a new lockdown on the southwestern province of Khuzestan on Monday, while continuing to reopen schools elsewhere, Al Jazeera reported, citing the local Tasmin News Agency.
Iran's cases had been on the decline until May 2, when they reached around 800. After that, however, they steadily began to climb again. On Monday, the new case count was back up to about 1,700.
Khuzestan Governor Gholamreza Shariati blamed this on that lax social distancing in recent days.

Iran began its nationwide lockdown in late February by closing schools, universities, and cultural centers in 14 provinces. In mid-March, it expanded the lockdown by shuttering shops and public spaces.
The lockdown has severely hit Iran's economy, with people unable to go out during the Iranian New Year — usually a time where a lot of money is spent — and the country continues to suffer under US sanctions.
Iran's economy shrunk by about 15% during the lockdown, Foreign Policy reported.
Under intense economic pressure, President Hassan Rouhani began to partially ease the lockdown on April 20, even though the country was still recording some 1,300 new cases per day.
As of Friday, the country has recorded 114,533 cases and 6,854 deaths from the virus.

Lebanon locks down for just four days
On Wednesday night, days after lifting its weekslong lockdown, Lebanon imposed a new, four-day lockdown due to a spike in new cases.
Since mid-April, the country had been reporting fewer than ten new cases per day. But on May 7, daily new cases spiked to 34.
Around this time, the country had been just one week into reopening bars, restaurants, hairdressers, places of worship, and some outdoor work sites.
While announcing the new measures, Prime Minister Hassan Diab blamed people who did not follow guidelines, according to Agence France-Presse.
The country has mostly avoided a mass outbreak, reporting just 886 cases and 26 deaths as of Thursday.
Regardless, it imposed a strict nationwide on March 21 and even forbade outdoor exercise, according to the Independent.
The renewed lockdown has primarily been imposed for more testing to take place, Diab said. The country will allow pharmacies and supermarkets to operate.
The country's borders remain closed.

Saudi Arabia has lifted lockdown for Ramadan
Saudi Arabia has loosened its lockdown for the holy month of Ramadan, and plans to tighten it when it's over.
The country entered lockdown on March 29, closing offices, sterilizing streets, and imposing a curfew with an $800 fine for non-compliance, according to Reuters. The Grand Mosque in Mecca was closed to all but a few visitors, according to Al-Jazeera.
Lockdown loosened on April 24, CBS reported, just before Ramadan, a highly sociable time in which families and friends gather to eat together after fasting during daylight hours.
People were allowed out between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and some shops and malls reopened, according to Agence France-Presse.
On May 3, new cases jumped up to around 1,600, and have risen ever since. And on Thursday, the country recorded some 2,000 new cases — its highest ever count. The country has so far seen more than 46,000 cases.
The country plans to impose a new five-day curfew from May 23, when Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Whether it will help stem new cases is yet to be seen.

Constantinople during the Byzantine Period.
Image: Wikipedia
Constantinople. Constantinople is the present-day Istanbul in Turkey. It was named Istanbul by the Ottomans after their conquest and also made it the capital of the Ottoman empire. Constantinople plays an important role in European history since it was a Christian metropolis settlement with immense wealth.
How and why did the mighty Constantinople fall, you ask? The Ottoman's conquest of the Byzantine Empire on 29th May 1453 was the final blow to the Fall of Constantinople. The first crusaders in 1095 sparked the beginning of the fall of Constantinople since they needed to pass through the empire to capture Jerusalem from the Muslims and the Jews and after that, many others tried to bring down the empire without success.
The end of the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople was significant in the European economic and political sphere; it marked the beginning of the Renaissance Era, opened up Italy to attacks, and the cities of Venice and Genoa also declined due to its fall. Constantinople was known all over Europe as the best-defended empire in the world; mostly because of its strong walls, a massive army, and the famous Greek Fire. The city also boasted of a huge population which made it difficult to be attacked.
The Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, had developed to become a feared military empire and it had tried several times in the past to attack Constantinople. In the 1450s, they tried again, this time sure they would win because the Black Plaque had swept Constantinople leaving about 50, 000 people and a very lean defense system. The Ottoman Empire was an Islamic-run superpower that ruled over many parts of Europe and West Africa for over 600 years, and at its peak, it had Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Egypt, Macedonia, Hungary, Palestine, Jordan, Romania, Syria, Lebanon, a part of North Africa and Arabia under its rule! The leader Sultan Mehtet I led the siege of Constantinople.
Here are ten things you should know about this important time in history!
1.Who discovered Constantinople?
Constantinople Mural

Before we look at the fall of Constantinople, lets first look at where it is and who lived or discovered the city. Constantinople was first founded around the 11th Century and was called the Lygos, which was later abandoned and the Greeks settled there at around 657 BC and named the place Byzantine.
Emperor Constantine in 324 left Rome and settled in Byzantine, an interesting port which joined Asia and Europe. He worked hard for six years after which he had made the city a business and entertainment hub; complete with institutions of learning, libraries, markets, public buildings, and a sports center. He even named the city 'New Rome' in 330, but it retained the name Constantinople. It was also one of the most fortified cities in the area!
2. Thriving port
Constantinople was a thriving port. That, and its geographical location is what made it popular; it is located between Europe and Asia! It was the capital of both the Ottoman Empire and the Byzantine empires. The capital was moved to Ankara and Constantinople was renamed Istanbul when the Republic of Turkey was founded in 1923.
The fall of Constantinople took place when the Ottoman Empire took over the city which was then the capital of the Byzantine Empire in 1423. Then, a siege that lasted for 53 days began, this also marked the end of the Roman Empire which had lasted 1,500 years!
3. It marked the end of the Middle Ages
According to many historians, the Middle Ages ended with the fall of Constantinople. The period was the end of the rule of the Byzantine Empire and the Roman Empire rule. When the Ottomans took over Constantinople, the inhabitants, the Byzantines fled to other European areas settling mostly in Italy; and with them, they took their knowledge of literature, art, theology, politics, science, architecture, philosophy, astronomy, music, and education among many others. they also took manuscripts from the libraries in the empire. The refugees' knowledge in many areas piqued the interest of the Italians, therefore, the Renaissance period began.
One of the best libraries, the last one to fall and one which lasted almost a millennium was located in Constantinople- the Imperil library whose literary collections aided the Renaissance movement in Europe. Unfortunately, the library was destroyed in 1453 together with the city after it had survived a fire during the Sack of Constantinople in 1204. Sad.
4. It is now a historic site
Image: Pixabay
Constantinople is now a UNESCO heritage site thanks to its very rich history, beautiful architecture, and culture. It was a very important place/ city in the European civilization- it was the home to the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire and even the Great Library is located there!
5. A big city it was
During the 10th century, the city is estimated to have had about 800,000 residents. At that time, the population of the world was relatively low so having this number of people in one city meant the city was kind of a big deal! One of the things that greatly weakened Constantinople was the Black Plague together with warfare, which reduced the population of the city to about 50,000 people! That was devastating!
6. A divided Christianity
There was a massive divide between the Catholics and the Orthodox churches at the time. This was fueled by the killing of Latins and this war between the two went on for very many years. At this point also in Europe, there was an attempt to drive out the Muslims in the name of Christendom. Because of the friction between the Latin Catholics of the West and the Orthodox Christians of the Byzantine Empire in the East, a massacre took place where the Latins were killed in great numbers.
7. The walls still stand
Most of the walls of Constantinople city still stand today! Even though the missing part of the wall was restored in the 20th Century, an earthquake destroyed that part and left the old part – the Theodosian wall standing! it seems the workmanship those days was strong. These walls were also an amazing piece of architecture. They were incredibly strong and extremely high- they were 12 meters high, which was unusual during those days. This explains why the city was always well protected!
8. The Nika Riots
Just as the world is today, back in the day, sports were a powerful thing, even politics influenced sports in some way. Now, the chariot racing sport became such a phenomenon in Constantinople that there were divided fans, forming the Blue and the Green sides. During a particular race, the blue and the green teams clashed in a riot which resulted in the then Emperor Justinian I executing the supporters. He also demanded very high taxes which angered the senators from the two sides. This did not end there, and this is where the Nika Riots came in; the senators from the two factions rallied up the supporters of the teams during one of the tournaments seeking to dethrone Justinian I and they even looked for a replacement for him. The two teams, chanting 'Nika' meaning 'Victory' made demands to the emperor who at the time was watching the riots from his palace! The emperor wanted to flee but his wife persuaded him to stay and pitch the two teams against each other which he did and got his revenge on them, by killing the senators and the man who wanted to dethrone him!
9. Not taking the fall lying down!
The defenses around the city were something else! Even before the fall of the city, many people, troops, and kingdoms tried but failed! At some point, the city used the famous Greek Fire that could burn in water; it was used by Muslim Arabs troops who were attacking them from the sea. The Byzantine Empire's Greek Fire had a closely guarded secret component and gave them an advantage over the enemy! They used this to scare away the enemy and it is said they had a nozzle which they used to blow the fire to the enemy!
10. A bizarre open gate!
Imagine being in battle, holding off the enemy successfully for close to two months, and then being surprised to see the enemy walking comfortably through a gate into the city. Well, someone forgot to close the Kerkoporta gate, or rather just left the gate to the city open, which opened up the city of Constantinople for the Ottomans to breeze through!
The Ottomans, led by Sultan Mehmed II's had been attacking the well-guarded city with his 100 ships and over 200, 000 soldiers. Even though the army was big and strong against the few people in the city, the Constantinople team was doing so well until the open gate incident which saw the Ottomans kill Emperor Constantine XI, his troops, it saw the people killed and the ones who remained were enslaved. That was in 1453.
That was the fall of the mighty Constantinople!

Because your retirement income will most likely be lower, than your current income: If you're still in debt at retirement time, you're going to file Bankruptcy. Why not file right now? Put those credit card payments into your retirement accounts instead. I realize that for most of you, if you didn't have to pay consumer debts, you would not likely be able to just switch portions of your budget over to retirement planning. You're eating white bread from Albertsons with non-fat milk and telling yourself that it's because the non-fat is healthier. Just to pay the gas expense, you're wearing sweaters at night and walking to the not as good park because you can't afford to drive to the nice one with the lake. Telling yourself and your kids that walking is good for you even though the slides are broken isn't making you feel any better. I get it. However, what if you could have a more normal budget and maybe put at least some into savings?
In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy they must Qualify. Called the Means Test, the qualification test starts with your gross income and asks first are you above it or below it? If above, then there is an 8 page questionnaire that you must go through to see if you qualify or not, and in my experience, 97% of my clients have qualified by the time we are done with the 8 page questionnaire. In our current test case, the family makes $6,500/mo which is $78,000/yr. The Median Income for a family of 4 this year is $78,869.00 and they get to skip the 8 page test. Part three of the Qualification Test, we go their budget to see if they have any money left over when it is all said and done. Even adding that $500 from the credit cards back in leaves them negative $5.00/mo so they have qualified for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

Apollo's Drapery: An Unfolding Puzzle
Erik Risser and David Saunders | March 1, 2011 | 4 min read
Antiquities conservator Erik Risser working on Apollo's drapery in the Conservation Studio at the Getty Villa
A new exhibition opening at the Getty Villa, Apollo from Pompeii: Investigating an Ancient Bronze, marks the completion of an 18-month conservation project that developed in collaboration with the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples.

The exhibition presents the different aspects of a Roman bronze statue of Apollo as an archer—its discovery in Pompeii in 1817 and 1818; how it was made in antiquity; and how it was reassembled after it had been discovered—but also highlights the variety of approaches that were employed, both in the laboratory and the library, to examine these issues.
A conservator's primary goal is to address any factors that are or could potentially be damaging to an object, and even before beginning work on the Apollo, we understood that the drapery ends hanging from its arms needed attention. They were clearly placing a significant strain on the figure, and we later discovered that their combined weight is around 80 pounds—almost as much as the rest of the statue. As the project developed and we studied these drapery ends in detail, we gleaned valuable insights about the restoration of the ancient statue after it had been unearthed.
One of the first methods of analysis was X-radiography of the whole figure. Besides allowing us to see "inside" Apollo, the X-ray images showed that the two bronze drapery ends were much thicker than the rest of the statue—which explained their disproportionate weight.
In addition, we could also see very clearly that the drapery ends had been attached to the arms with a series of screws. Investigation of these joins under magnification, combined with ultraviolet (UV) photography (shown below), helped us to identify the extent to which materials such as lead solder and colophony had been used both as reinforcements and to conceal the joins. Having conducted these visual—and non-invasive—studies, we made the decision to remove the two drapery ends for further analysis.
Meanwhile, another feature had given us pause. In the earliest image of the Apollo (below, left), which dates to 1825, just a few years after the statue was discovered, the drapery ends looked rather different from the bronze parts we were dealing with.
Rather than depicting long heavy forms that terminate with a tassle and a weight, the engraving shows the Apollo with much shorter drapery, fluttering lightly by his side as he strides forward. The difference could be dismissed as artistic license, but other mid-19th-century images of the statue in books in the collection of the Getty Research Institute (such as the one below, right) show exactly the same features—and likewise, do not match the bronze drapery ends.
19th-century views of the Apollo. Left: The Restored Statue of Apollo, Engraving in Raffaele Gargiulo, Raccolta de Monumenti più interessanti del Re. Museo Borbonico . . ., Naples, 1825.

The Getty Research Institute, 2573-379
Once we had removed the drapery ends, we encountered another puzzle. There were holes in the arms, but they did not all correlate with the screws that were used to attach the sections of the bronze drapery. On the right arm, for example, there is a third hole that's somewhat smaller than the other two.
This suggested that there had been two different interventions. The results of metallurgical analysis of samples taken from each of the bronze drapery ends also pointed in this direction. The samples matched one another, but their composition was not only different from the ancient metal alloy, but also from the metal alloy that had been used elsewhere in the restoration and reconstruction of the statue in the early 19th century.
The combination of these diverse analytical methods led to a single conclusion: that the bronze drapery ends were not only not ancient, but also not part of the statue's original restoration in the early 19th century. They were rather part of a second phase of restoration, replacing the lighter-looking parts that we had encountered in the drawings.
Proof came with the assistance of our colleagues in Naples, who had access to the old museum inventories. In 1844, and again in 1849, it was recorded that the drapery ends were made of plaster. Evidently, therefore, the ancient fragments had not been recovered, and so the drapery ends had been fabricated in plaster when the statue was first restored. These were what we saw in the archival drawings.
When were the plaster ends replaced by the bronze parts? The earliest photographs of the Apollo on display in the Gallery of the Bronzes in the Naples Archaeological Museum date to the mid-1860s, and here the statue has the bronze drapery ends. Bringing together the available evidence, we concluded that the switch must have happened between 1849 and the mid-1860s. But we haven't yet encountered any documentation recording the change, so can only speculate as to why. Perhaps the plaster ends were damaged, or no longer looked effective. Or there may have been a change in taste or practice at the museum, which demanded the fabrication of bronze repairs.
The questions raised in studying the drapery were critical to our understanding of the statue and the phases of its restoration. But as is so often the case, the answers we obtained only prompted new lines of inquiry. One of the most pressing, of course, was how to display the statue once we had removed the bronze drapery ends. We decided to fabricate replacement parts in epoxy, using the 19th-century archival images to guide us. These new drapery ends are mechanically attached to the statue using the pre-existing holes in the arms, and can be removed without any risk of damage to the ancient bronze. Thus, the Apollo that now graces our galleries looks similar to the way it did in Naples after it had first been reassembled.

I'm associate conservator of antiquities at the J. Paul Getty Museum. I have an ongoing interest in the restoration history of large-scale marble stone sculptures and its impact on their conservation. Aside from museum-related activities, one of my pursuits is in further developing conservation practices in the field for both architectural remains and excavated materials.
Sera Baker	on March 2, 2011 at 3:28 am
Thank you for the well-detailed summary of your work on the statue. It was absolutely fascinating to read of the discoveries of both the original ancient and the two modern re-constructions (surprise!) combined with beautiful illustrations.
Jennifer Malin	on March 2, 2011 at 7:16 am
Nice job on the restoration, but where is his epoxy bow and arrow? ; )
I'm only half-joking. Do we have an idea what the bow and arrow would have looked like? Did he perhaps hold a real (wooden) one, which is why it hasn't survived?
Hope to see this in person when I visit CA this May.
David Saunders	on March 2, 2011 at 1:22 pm
Dear Jen
Your question is a good one. There is lead present in Apollo's left hand, suggesting that he did indeed hold a bow (and there are also two holes in a shallow groove on the back, presumably for a quiver on his shoulder). As to its material, we simply don't know. Wood is certainly the most 'realistic', but from a practical point of view, it would have been vulnerable to distortion and damage given the statue's display outdoors. We can get some sense of the total appearance, though, by looking at other images of Apollo as an archer – on coins and sarcophagi, for example.
As for recreating the bow and arrow today – that's a project that we wouldn't enter into lightly. The situation with the drapery is instructive. The reasons for fabricating new versions (which are, should the need require, easily removable with minimal risk to the statue) during the conservation here at the Getty were:
(i) that the statue would have looked markedly less effective if the (existing, ancient) drapery stopped short on the arms
and (ii) because we had a number of archival images of the Apollo that illustrate what the drapery looked like after the initial phase of restoration between 1818-25. We thus had a clear 'model' to work from, and since the Apollo's surface is, essentially, a nineteenth-century creation (after they'd cleaned the statue, the restorers covered the entire surface with pigments to give it a coherent, ancient-looking appearance), reconstructing the drapery in this form made sense; in some ways, the statue is as much a nineteenth-century object as an ancient one.
Suffice to say, we didn't have such specific prototypes for a bow and arrow, and so to have reconstructed them would have been to go substantially beyond our remit. In sum, your question brings up a neat example of conservation ethics and practices, which are by no means static. What's really interesting (to me now that the exhibition has opened and we're writing up our research) is the fact that the bow hadn't been restored in the nineteenth century. If you consider historical restorations of ancient sculptures, people certainly weren't shy to add attributes, limbs, heads and so forth, so the fact that the nineteenth-century restorers chose not to add a bow (but were happy to add the drapery) reveals a decision-process that is worthy of further investigation and contextualisation.

Great job, David and Erik. And it's a beautiful gallery and show. Thanks!
Kristine	on March 2, 2011 at 5:45 pm
Fascinating and beautiful… the epoxy draping seems much more in proportion to the figure overall, and enhances the sense of action in the pose.
Jennifer Malin	on March 5, 2011 at 11:34 am
David, thank you so much for taking time to answer my question so thoroughly! It is indeed very curious that the 19th-century restorers held back from adding a bow — and I hadn't even thought about a quiver.
I look forward to seeing the results of your beautiful conservation work in person.

interesting question and answer thanks!, But it could still be an interesting project to try, even if just to
generate a photographic record.

The following comment was recently posted to the IIC Facebook page regarding the article in the Wall Street Journal on this project:
"An interesting article but there is an implication that bronzes were never patinated, if I read it correctly. Is there evidence for that, is it possible to discern whether a patina is intended or accrued?" Posted by Andrew Thorn, objects conservator, Australia
We would be happy to have you post a reply to his comment made on http://www.facebook.com/International.Institute.for.Conservation#!/International.Institute.for.Conservation?sk=info
Or we could post it for you.

Dear Amber – Thank you for your interest and kind words. To respond to Andrew's question, some ancient literary sources, in particular Plutarch and Pliny the Elder, have been variously interpreted to support the case for patination in antiquity. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that many bronzes still preserve evidence of various alloys or, indeed, different metals being used to create a single object (think of the lips, nipples and teeth of the Riace bronzes). These examples seemingly suggest that the color of the alloy or metal itself was sought after and not a particular patinated color. In the case of the Apollo, it is impossible to say with any degree of certainty that there was an ancient patina present since the surface was so heavily altered by nineteenth-century cleaning, removing any potential evidence. Because ancient bronzes do not come down through the ages unaltered, it would be difficult to discern whether a patina was intentional or accrued without knowing many factors associated with the object from its manufacture, practical life and use, burial environment and alteration since recovery. Even if some of these factors are known, the physical and chemical evidence are often the same, which would make it hard to interpret intent. The fact that 'corrosion' and 'patina' have often been used interchangeably suggests the difficulty in discerning between a natural or human product.

2013 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show
Cafe Au Lait and Beignets at Cafe Du Monde
The housing industry is coming back to life as evidenced at the 2013 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in New Orleans. Although there were no major appliance manufacturers at the show, there were a lot of exhibitors, new products and enthusiastic home products professionals. And, it was a great show for media outreach.
Two key clients we supported at the 2013 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show included NanaWall and True. We were able to garner tremendous press coverage for them by setting up interviews at their respective booths. We set up more than 60 media meetings with publications such Veranda, Architectural Digest, Dwell, This Old House and more. We also had the DIY Network and HGTV stop by both booths for filming.
We worked hard and played hard – enjoying Cafe Au Lait and Beignets at Cafe Du Monde and Jambalaya and Gumbo at Mother's Restaurant. Needless to say, we wasted no time during our off hours!
Overall, it was a great show and we're looking forward to more successes at Design and Construction Week 2014. This show will combine Kitchen & Bath Industry Show and IBS (The International Builders' Show) and is expected to draw more than 75,000 specifiers, builders, dealers and suppliers and 2,000 exhibitors in Las Vegas in February 2014.

In historian Timothy Garton Ash's book The File, there's an anecdote about a prominent East German activist finally figuring out who the very-well-informed spy was in her life (names had been blacked out in the files she could see). It was her husband.
He had romanced her in order to get a paid job feeding back information to the Stasi, the East German secret police.
I often used this as an example of just how corrupt East German society was. That sort of thing, I thought, wouldn't happen in the UK. Sure, the state would bomb other countries, treat asylum seekers with contempt and so on. After reading things like Bernard Porter's Plots and Paranoia: History of Political Espionage in Britain, I thought that surveillance would be limited to the usual letter-opening, phone-tapping and bugging, with a little light agent provocateur-ing and intimidation. How wrong – how naïve – can you be?
Rob Evans and Paul Lewis start their brilliantly-written account of the British police's infiltration of animal rights, social and ecological justice campaigns with a startling scene: British 'hairies' (deep cover police agents, tasked with spying on activists) in the early 1990s watching a television story about ordinary German citizens gaining the right to see how they'd been spied on by the Stasi, when the East German state had spoken endlessly of protecting them.
It was, according to the authors, an uncomfortable 'what if it happens here?' moment for the police officers.
Evans and Lewis outline how the Special Demonstration Squad (established in 1968, during Establishment panic over anti-Vietnam War protests) and, later, the National Public Order Intelligence Unit inserted well over 100 police officers into political groups on the far left and far right, in animal rights groups and, latterly, in environmental and climate change groups.
These officers were there long-term to collect information, as well as to subtly guide and disrupt. They 'succeeded' in this brilliantly.
What Evans and Lewis are especially good at (above and beyond tracing a clear and compelling narrative with vivid case studies) is laying out the costs of this 'success'. Not just to the individual officers, the reputation of the police, and to fabric of democracy, but also to the many women targeted and used as credibility-enhancement by determined officers.
In several cases, the police officers – surely with the knowledge of their superiors – fathered children. And then, when their deployment was over, they fled without trace.
Some of the women have set up a campaign group, 'Police Spies Out of Our Lives', and are battling through the courts. It promises to be a long journey, and doubtless more horrible revelations are to follow.
The Special Demonstration Squad was disbanded in 2008. Since the most successful – and perhaps vile – undercover officer, 'Mark Kennedy' (aka Mark Stone), was unmasked in late 2010, a dizzying number of inquiries into the actions of the undercovers have been initiated.
Many of these inquiries, rightly, have been criticised as police doing self-regulation (the kind of self-regulation that worked so well for the bankers). More recently, because of revelations that the Metropolitan Police were spying on the Stephen Lawrence campaign, the home secretary has announced a judge-led enquiry.
Activists really must read this book. They should share it, discuss it and learn from it.
There is such a thing as healthy paranoia, and – based on this book – we should be cultivating it. Alongside this, and the Snowden revelations, we should also understand that being 'secret' is – especially in big groups – probably impossible. That has implications for the forms of protest, demonstration and action that we attempt.

Competition for youngsters to design a future Tameside Hospital
More from Glossop Chronicle
Thursday, April 29th, 2021 7:00am
Time is running out for primary school children in Tameside and Glossopdale to submit their competition entries to imagine what the Tameside Hospital of the future will look like.
It's part of the celebration to recognise the first NHS Social Care and Frontline Workers' Day on 5 July.
Your Tameside Reporter, Glossop Chronicle and Tameside Radio teamed up with the hospital trust to invite local children to get creative.
The competition is divided into two age groups - five to eight-year-olds and eight to 11-year-olds - and entries can be drawings, modelling or videos.
The two successful pupils - chosen by trust chairman Jane McCall and Reporter editor Nigel Skinner - will win a 'behind the scenes' tour with Chief Nurse Pete Weller, plus the chance to dress up in scrubs, white coats and stethoscopes before enjoying tea with the chairman who will present a special certificate and book tokens to both children.
Competition entries should be sent for the attention of Jackie McConnell at Quest Media Network, Cavendish Mill, Bank Street, Ashton, OL6 7DN, or email competitions@questmedianetwork.co.uk
The closing date for the competition is 4pm on Friday 18 June.
'Healthcare is evolving all the time'
Jane hopes the chance to be inventive and think what the future might look like will appeal to young people.
She said: "This year the NHS will be 73 years old on July 5 and over the years has changed beyond all recognition. Healthcare is evolving all the time, and the idea is to look into the future and picture what the next 73 years might bring for the patients and staff at our hospital. Maybe drones will carry medicines to patients and robots will assist doctors and nurses to care for them, none of us really know.
"But children have wonderful imaginations and aren't limited by practical challenges. I can't wait to see what they come up with."
What is NHS, Social Care and Frontline Workers' Day?
Tameside Hospital was the first NHS trust in the country to sign up to NHS, Social Care and Frontline Workers' Day, designated to say thank you to key workers who continue to put their lives on the line and raise money for NHS Charities Together, which supports 250 hospitals and their charitable trusts and the National Care Association, representing 1.6 million workers.
Karen James, Chief Executive of Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS FT, says she and her team are delighted to back such an important initiative which will focus on supporting the dedication and professionalism of doctors, nurses and their colleagues as they battle to deal with the pandemic.
"Throughout these many months I have been overwhelmed by the way our medical teams and support staff have worked together to treat and care for patients under the most challenging of times.
"I couldn't have asked more of them, and to know the nation is coming together on July 5 - the birthday of the NHS - to pay tribute to them and the tens of thousands of others in hospitals and care homes across the country is truly heart-warming."
The project is the brainchild of national and international Pageantmaster, Bruno Peek LVO OBE OPR who says he is delighted that Tameside Hospital is the first to fly the flag for the NHS.
He said: "Over the decades the NHS has faced crisis, economic downturns, periods of prosperity, growth and so much more. However, none would argue that these past long months have brought a new respect and affection for the NHS and the people who work for it; we have relied on them to treat us during the coronavirus pandemic and to keep to safe – and they have not let us down."

Secure future for market leader after MBO
An owner-managed business, which designs, sources and distributes audio-visual accessories to retail customers and direct to consumers online, had become the leading UK business in its product category, and had built strong customer relationships with all the relevant major retail partners. This was a profitable and highly cash-generative business, and the major shareholder was looking to sell their controlling interest, and phase out their involvement over time. There were also a number of other peripheral shareholders who were not involved in day-to-day operations.
FRP was appointed as the lead adviser to sell the company. Our Corporate Finance and Debt Advisory teams worked together on the assignment, supporting on the discussions with management while also helping the company to raise the debt required for a management buy-out (MBO) of the shareholders.
Our team project managed the deal from start to finish, including valuation, structuring, and liaising with tax advisers, lenders and lawyers. They helped to agree a structure for the deal, leading ultimately to the successful MBO, and had a crucial input into commercial negotiations, and on the legal documentation for the sale and debt raise.
Our team delivered a successful exit for the majority owner, along with the buy-out of the peripheral shareholders. The business is now under the new ownership of the management team, which has led to greater alignment of interests and a secure future for the business and its employees.

Q: How to pass methods with parameters to children in React? (Cannot read property 'props' of undefined) I'm currently making a to-do list, but unfortunately ran into some errors where I am unable to pass methods to a child component.

NT BUZZ brings to you the details

In order to create a platform for cultural dialogues and to provide the Goan audience with opportunities to experience music from around the world, Banglanatak dot com is all set to hold the fourth edition of 'Sur Jahan – World Peace Music Festival' from February 7 to February 9 at Kala Academy, Panaji.
This year the inauguration will witness traditional folk of Goa saluting world music. "As the festival is being organised in Goa we wish to bring traditional folk culture of Goa to the limelight. We also wish to inspire youth to think global with their traditional culture and thus strengthening the basics of world music," says founder-director of Banglanatak dot com, Amitava Bhattacharya.
There will be a collaborative performance by the Bengal Goa Musical Ensemble where two musicians from Goa will collaborate with musicians from Bengal. "In this particular ensemble, folk musicians of Bengal will be represented by both urban and rural traditional musicians covering various genres of music, including Bhawaiya, Baul and Jhumur. The participating artistes have their own bands and identity. They frequently collaborate with other folk artistes for meaningful exchanges in this pursuit and have participated in festivals around the world. The ensemble takes its audience on a journey through the traditional music pathway of Bengal with a unique Goan sound, celebrating the diversity and richness of India's culture," adds Amitava. This concert will be held on February 8 at 6 p.m., followed by a workshop the next day on February 9 at 12:30 p.m.
Bringing together Ethiopian and Italian fusion folk music on one stage, acclaimed writer, Gabriella Ghermandi will be performing on the third day of the event February 9 from 6 p.m. onwards Gabriella has performed for the Atse Tewodros Project, named after the most beloved emperor of Ethiopia Tewodros II, who was not of royal descent but rose to power and modernised Ethiopia while also representing it's tradition. The album 'Ethiopia celebrating Emperor Tewodros II' was also in the ballot for the 59th Grammy Awards in two categories.
Prior to the Goa edition of Sur Jahan, Kolkata is celebrating its eighth edition of the three-day festival that will end today February 4. Giving details about the same Amitava says: "Sur Jahan, is a world peace music festival for celebrating cultural plurality. Earlier it was known as Sufi Sutra. Every year it is held in the first weekend of February in Kolkata and the following week in Goa. In its eighth edition in Kolkata and fourth edition in Goa in 2018, the festival has evolved thus creating a platform for cultural dialogue and exchange to broaden awareness and understanding of various cultures and develop appreciation of the diversity to foster peace."
The festival is conceptualised, designed, curated and presented by Banglanatak dot com, a 17-year–old Kolkata-based UN recognised social enterprise, specialising in Culture and Development. "Bringing folk music of Hungary to the limelight, Muzsikas – a folk music ensemble who have been performing over four decades now, will be in Goa for Sur Jahan. Muzsikas is known to often collaborate with various traditional Hungarian folk music with classical compositions of Bartok, Kodaly, Kurtag and many others. Muzsikas has won the prestigious WOMEX Award for World Music in 2008 as well as the Hungarian state award for artistes, The Kossuth Prize. The ensemble will be accompanied by two guests – singer Hanga Kacsó and dancer István Berecz," details Amitava adding that the concert will take place on February 7, 8 p.m. onwards followed by workshop on February 8 at 10:30 a.m.
On February 9 at 7 p.m. Nizami Khusro Brothers will be performing the form of Sufi devotional music which can be traced back to the 8th century Persia and is popular in the Indian subcontinent. This vibrant musical tradition was fused with South Asian musical traditions to create Qawwali as we know it today by Hazrat Amir Khusro Dehlvi in the late 13th century in India. Among the families which have carried on this style of music are the Nizami Khusro Brothers who head the Qawwal Bachhe and Delhi Gharana. Led by Saqlain Nizami, this group is well-versed and can perform in several languages, such as Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Urdu, etc. They have mastered various genres of classical music, such as Dhrupad, Khayal, Tarana, Thumri and Dadra, which they blend beautifully with Qawwali. They have performed at Sufi Sutra at Kolkata in 2012. "Also, not to miss one of the most original folk bands in the Polish music world, Muzykanci will be taking the stage on February 8 at 7 p.m." says Amitava.
Speaking further on the same he says that from performing at village weddings to the world's biggest festivals, Muzykanci has been consistently experimenting with music and making thrilling versions of Polish folk songs from various Polish, Lemko, Hungarian, Balkan, Gypsy and Jewish tunes. The band's inspiration comes mostly from the dark folk tales of their homeland. "Our aim is to only bring good music to the festival that allows global exchange of ideas to take place," concludes Amitava.
(Sur Jahan will be held from February 7 to February 9 at Kala Academy, Panaji. The event is open to all.)

Q: Couchbase N1QL query to select value from object array What's the correct way to select a value from an array of objects?
Would like to retrieve a distinct list of the comments.
[
  "comment 1",
  "comment 2",
  "comment 3",
  "comment 4"
]

Current N1QL query
SELECT links[*].comment FROM `my-db`
WHERE type = "links" AND ANY l IN links SATISFIES l.comment IS NOT MISSING END

Results
[
  {
    "comment": [
      "comment 1"
    ]
  },
  {
    "comment": [
      "comment 1",
      "comment 2"
    ]
  },
  {
    "comment": [
      "comment 3",
      "comment 4"
    ]
  }
]

Given a series of documents that contain a comment field:
{
  "type": "links",
  "links": [
    {
      "comment": "comment 1"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "type": "links",
  "links": [
    {
      "comment": "comment 1"
    },
    {
      "comment": "comment 2"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "type": "links",
  "links": [
    {
      "comment": "comment 3"
    },
    {
      "comment": "comment 4"
    }
  ]
}

A: Use UNNEST
SELECT DISTINCT RAW l.comment
FROM `my-db` AS m
UNNEST m.links AS l
WHERE m.type = "links" AND l.comment IS NOT NULL;

OR
If data set is not too large.

SELECT RAW  ARRAY_DISTINCT(ARRAY_FLATTEN(ARRAY_AGG(m.links[*].comment) ,2))
FROM `my-db` AS m
WHERE m.type = "links";
