The Russian State Library (Russian: Российская государственная библиотека, romanized: Rossiyskaya gosudarstvennaya biblioteka) is one of the three national libraries of Russia, located in Moscow.[2] It is the largest library in the country, largest in Europe and one of the largest in the world. Its holdings crossed over 47 million units in 2017.[3] It is a federal library[a] overseen by the Ministry of Culture, including being under its fiscal jurisdiction.[5][6]
Its foundation lay in the opening of the Moscow Public Museum and Rumyantsev Museum in Moscow in 1862. This museum evolved from a number of collections, most notably Count Nikolay Rumyantsev's[b] library and historical collection. It was renamed after Lenin in 1924, popularly known as the Lenin Library or Leninka, and its current name was adopted in 1992.[8][9]
The library has several buildings of varying architectural styles.[10] In 2012 the library had over 275 km of shelves, including over 17 million books and serial volumes, 13 million magazines, 370 thousand music scores and sound records, 150,000 maps and others. There are items in 247 languages of the world, the foreign part representing about 29 percent of the entire collection.[11][12] In 2017 holdings covered over 360 languages.[3][13]
Rumyantsev library[edit]

The library was founded on 1 July 1862, as Moscow's first free public library and as a part of the Moscow Public Museum and Rumyantsev Museum, or in short the Rumyantsev library.[14]
The Rumyantsev Museum part of the complex housed the historical collection of Count Nikolai Petrovich Rumyantsev, which had been given to the Russian people and transferred from St. Petersburg to Moscow.[15] Its donation covered above all books and manuscripts as well as an extensive numismatic and an ethnographic collection. These, as well as approximately 200 paintings and more than 20,000 prints, which had been selected from the collection of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg,[16] could be seen in the Pashkov House (a palace, established between 1784 and 1787, in the proximity of the Kremlin). Tsar Alexander II of Russia donated the painting The Appearance of Christ Before the People by A. A. Ivanov for the opening of the museum.[17]
The citizens of Moscow, deeply impressed by the count's altruistic donation, named the new museum after its founder and had the inscription "from count Rumyantsev for the good Enlightenment" carved above its entrance.[18][19] In the subsequent years, the collection of the museum grew by numerous further donations of objects and money, so that the museum soon housed a yet more important collection of Western European paintings, an extensive antique collection and a large collection of icons. Indeed, the collection grew so much that soon the premises of the Pashkov House became insufficient, and a second building was built beside the museum shortly after the turn of the 20th century to house the paintings in particular.
Lenin Library[edit]

After the October Revolution the contents again grew enormously, and again lack of space became an urgent problem. Acute financial problems also arose, for most of the money to finance the Museum flowed into the Pushkin Museum, which had only been finished a few years before and was assuming the Rumyantsev Museum's role. Therefore, it was decided in 1925 to dissolve the Rumyantsev Museum and to spread its collections over other museums and institutions in the country. Part of the collections, in particular the Western European art and antiques, were thus transferred to the Pushkin Museum. Pashkov House (at 3 Mokhovaya Street) was renamed the Old Building of the Russian State Library. The old state archive building on the corner of Mokhovaya and Vozdvizhenka Streets was razed and replaced by the new buildings. In 1925 the library was renamed the V. I. Lenin State Library of the USSR. It is nicknamed the "Leninka".[20]

Design of the new buildings of the Lenin Library was to be decided through a competition announced in December 1927. The competition had an open component while other architects were invited through invitation.[23][24] While the first round was won by one team, another design by a team comprising Vladimir Shchuko and Vladimir Gelfreikh was chosen.[25][26] This particular design was further modified to a large degree.[27] Construction of the first stage was authorized in 1929 and commenced in 1930.[23][28] Famous sculptors involved included Matvey Manizer.[29] There are a number of statues on the roof.[30] The first stage was largely complete in 1941.[31] In the process, the building acquired the modernized neoclassicism exterior features of the Palace of Soviets (co-designed by Shchuko and Gelfreikh), departing from the stern modernism of the 1927-1928 drafts.[32][27] The last component of Shchuko's plan, a 250-seat reading hall, was opened in 1945; further additions continued until 1960.[33] During this period the library was identified as a "mass library".[34][35] The Lenin Library was a central library, a national repository, a research institution in areas connected to libraries, and a center undertaking compilation of bibliographies.[36] Its statues also designated it as an institution that "contributes to the development of communism in USSR".[36] Its daily attendance was an estimated 5000 to 6000.[37]

Copies of all printed items in the Soviet Union went to around ten institutions. Lenin Library received three copies, which the library could use for book exchange or distribution to other libraries. Lenin Library was one of two institutions that were permitted to take part in international book exchange until 1955.[38][35] International books coming into the library during this period numbered to over 40,000, mainly science related.[35] In the mid-1950s the library was conducting exchange with 60 countries.[39] The library also loaned and borrowed books from domestic and foreign libraries.[40]
Lenin Library, along with three other institutions, cooperated on a 1707-1957 catalog.[41][42] In 1961, the library had twenty-two reading rooms; in 1976 the 22 reading rooms had a daily attendance of up to 8000.[43][44] The Reference and Bibliography Department assisted readers in finding books.[45] The library also assisted other libraries in book selections. These recommendations could reach to over three hundred pages.[46] The library staff in 1961 consisted of 1750 librarians, 400 technical staff, and housekeeping and ancillary staff.[47]
The holdings of the library were cleaned twice a year and observed throughout the year. Books showing problems were sent to the Department of Preservation. This department attended to 380,000 pages in a year. Microfilm preservation was assisted by the Special Institute of Cinematography.[48] Until 1961 only Lenin Library was decently furnished to handle and copy adequate numbers of microfilm.[49] Eugene Power commented that the library has a, "microfilm laboratory with twelve cameras, six of them of hybrid design utilizing an Eastman Kodak Microfile head, mast and lens; a copyboard and lights based on German design; and a book cradle of Russian design and manufacture".[50]
In 1968 the building reached its capacity, and the library launched construction of a new depository in Khimki, earmarked for storing newspapers, scientific works and low-demand books from the main storage areas. The first stage of Khimki library was complete in 1975.[33] Between 1922 and 1991 at least one copy of every book published in the USSR was deposited with the library, a practice which continues in a similar method today, with the library designated by law as a legal deposit library.[51][52]
Russian State Library[edit]
In 1992, the library was renamed the Russian State Library by president Boris Yeltsin.[53] It's legal mandate as a national library is under the federal law "On Librarianship/On Library Affairs" passed in 1994.[14][54][55] The national role of the library entails that it is a depository for state documents, for foreign documents, a library for the armed forces, and a hub of an inter-library system.[56][57] The Russian State Library, even before it officially became a national library, had a certain degree of cooperation with the earlier version of the National Library of Russia, the M.Y. Saltykov-Shchedrin State Public Library of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, functioning as a national library since 1795.[58] Once Russian State Library also became a national library, the two national libraries laid out a cooperation framework in 1996 with regard to functions such as storage of legal deposits and addressing duplication.[58]
Reading rooms of the Leninka were organized by topic and format. Readers were required to have a suitable educational background.[57] The elite as well as scholars used these.[57] Under the national project 'Culture', the Russian State Library provides procedural assistance to developing libraries across the country.[59][60] The library has also undertaken identification and documentation of "trophy" items in its holdings.[61] A renovation of Pashkov House was completed in 2007.[62][63] One of the main exhibition sites in recent times is the Ivanovo Hall.[64] A permanent exhibit exists in the form of a book museum.[65] The library holds events; for example in May 2019, Noize MC gave a lecture in the largest reading room and this was followed by other rap artists performing in front of the Marble Staircase at the entrance of the library.[3]
Holdings[edit]
The library originates from the personal library and historical collection of Count Nikolai Petrovich Rumyantsev.[7] At the time of his death in 1826 it consisted of around 28-29,000 books.[66][67] By 1899 the library of the Moscow Public and Rumyantsev Museum had grown to half-a-million volumes and in the next two decades would go on to cross 1 million volumes.[3][68] The collection was significantly expanded through acquisitions and expropriation.[68] In 1951 the Lenin Library had the largest collection of books in the world,[69] it would remain the largest till at least 1973.[70] In 1959 the collections of the Lenin Library crossed 20 million.[3] In 1961, rare publications numbered 250,000. Manuscripts from 11th-15th century numbered 30,000. Historical artifacts numbered 600,000.[71] In the Lenin Library a book was defined as a publication with five or more pages, along with certain other criteria.[72] In 1994 holdings crossed 40 million.[3]

In 2000, holdings were 42 million items, consisting of books in living and dead languages.[9] In that year the library received over 357,000 thousand copies of documents including foreign items.[73] The holdings include a manuscript collection dating to the sixth century,[9] family and estate archives including those of industrial and land-owning dynasties, personal papers of notable individuals from across the spectrum, and an autograph collection.[74] The collection includes a Gutenberg Bible,[75] Ivan Fedorov's "Apostles" (1564) and first editions of works by Nicolaus Copernicus, Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton.[76] United Nations documents number to over 250,000.[77] Holdings include maps, military literature, music and sound collections, oriental literature, newspapers and dissertations.[13] In 2017 holdings crossed 47 million in 360 languages.[3][13]
The Electronic Library department was created in the mid-1990s.[78] Its first collection included 900,000 theses in Russian.[79] The United Nations' Memory of the World Programme saw involvement with digitized items such as the Arkhangelsk Gospel (year 1092) and old Russian newspapers, maps, posters.[78][80] Digitization of the initial collection of the Electronic Library was also expanded through projects with the Library of Congress, United States,[78][81] and the European Union.[82] With regard to music, digitization of old printed music allows for its preservation and easier distribution and access to those interested including researchers; the digitization attempts to capture the artistic nature as well, including the art on covers and markings by owners and so on.[83] The Digital Dissertation Library was initiated in 2003. As its size grew with yearly additions, the number of virtual reading rooms of the Digital Dissertation Library also increased, including those in other countries.[84][85][86]
Research and publications[edit]
The library is an institution of research in library science and related areas.[87] The Lenin Library, including its Bureau of Library Guidance and Research, had a numerous publications– collections, manuals and catalogues, book promotions, bibliographic lists, works on socio-political topics, technical publications, and art related publications.[88] Bibliotekovedenie (Russian Journal of Library Science) [ru] was founded in 1952 and received its current name in 1993.[89][90][91] The journal Observatory of Culture [ru] was founded in 2004.[92] The journal Vostochnaya Kollektsiya (Oriental Collection) was published between 1999 and 2015, during this period 61 issues were published with over 1200 articles.[93][94] Pashkov Dom Publishing was established in 1998 and functions as a publisher for the library.[95]
Books about the library include S.V. Zhitomirskaia's Prosto zhizn and V. V. Fedorov's (ed.) Rossiiskaia gosudarstvennaia biblioteka.[96]

Let's salvage something from Christopher Lee's misadventure and seize the opportunity to explain to our children that it's cool to have a phone that can take a picture and it's wonderful to have a mirror where we can do a little prep work before we go out in public, but when you stand in front of mirror with your phone camera and start clicking, you really have to expect that the resulting photos may show up anywhere.
I had THE photo in this post, but I just can't/don't want to look at it. So much human weakness on display, I just can't add to it. If you need to look again or haven't seen it and just have to, click here.

When he was 12 years old, David Paiz, senior first baseman, saw the New York Yankees jersey Babe Ruth had worn and the bat Ken Griffey swung as a member of the Cincinnati Reds.
David and his family made the trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The visit happened when David was 12 years old, right after he won the Little League World Series with the Austin Eagles.
His father, David Paiz, Sr., could tell his son was going to be a baseball player. David could hit the ball well at a young age when his father coached him in his tee-ball years.
David sat in the stands at the Crockett High School baseball fields in Austin, scouting his older cousin, Jonathan.
Paiz, Sr. took him to see Jonathan's games where he would hit and throw on the side.
Jonathan began his baseball career when he was eight years old and went on to play Division II baseball for Texas-Beaumont. Jonathan's experience was vital because he showed David how to became a great baseball player on and off the field.
David played baseball at Texas Tech until he left the program during his junior year while still receiving playing time. David wanted to continue playing Division I baseball, something Jonathan always dreamed about but never experienced.
David did not give up and worked hard during the off-season. He earned a spot as a walk-on at Texas State, which resulted in a scholarship offer. David, a shortstop throughout high school, is pitching and playing first base for Texas State.

I love navy. Even more than I love black actually. It's just as versatile and chic, but I like how it's slightly softer, slightly less expected and just a little less blah. And while I love me some black and navy, it also pairs perfectly with my other fave non-color, white. Really, is there anything chicer than navy and white in summer? The combo is classic with all-American undertones but can look totally elegant for the office and even evening when paired with the right silhouettes.


Wow you're amazing! Love your work!
I use it as a hobby. I like making sigs when I'm bored and paint.net is a free program for me to do so.
My favourite series of all time is Supernatural and Heroes. A couple of months ago I was still a big fan of Glee, but then the new season started airing and the wackiness of the new characters basically ruined the whole show for me.

Accor to welcome new Mercure in the nation's capital
MERCURE Canberra Belconnen NOW TAKING BOOKINGS
Canberra's accommodation sector is set for a boost following an announcement from Australia's largest hotel operator, Accor, in partnership with hotel owners, Canberra Labor Club, that a new-build Mercure hotel is gearing up to open in the nation's capital and is now taking bookings.
The five-storey, 125 room, Mercure Canberra Belconnen is currently under development at the Canberra Labor Club precinct on Cameron Avenue.
The internationally branded midscale hotel will adjoin the Club's precinct, accessible via a connecting walkway, allowing guests easy access to all food & beverage, and entertainment facilities within the club.
The sophisticated guestrooms will each include plush beds, relaxed workstations, Smart TVs, Chromecast and complimentary Wi-Fi. The hotel will also feature gym facilities, laundry facilities, a spacious lobby lounge, food & beverage outlets, event & conferencing spaces and onsite parking. Designed by May + Russell Architects, the hotel design draws inspiration from the local environment by using colours and textures with a natural undertone while also drawing from some of the vibrant colours within the surrounding landscape.
Simon McGrath, Accor Pacific's Chief Operating Officer, responsible for over 400 hotels in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, French Polynesia and Hawaii, says, "All eyes are on the nation's capital at the moment, which is experiencing a renewed interest amongst investors and developers.
"We're delighted to bring the Mercure brand to Belconnen in partnership with Canberra Labor Club. Accor enjoy partnering with clubs by adding an accommodation offering to their already successful business, by enhancing the existing club's facilities to the benefit of its members, and also attracting new business and leisure guests.
"We are confident that the Mercure hotel will provide much-needed new hotel supply for Canberra and we look forward to welcoming the first guests to Mercure Canberra Belconnen," concluded Mr McGrath.
Canberra Labor Club's Chief Executive, Arthur Roufogalis, says "We are really excited to be opening Mercure Canberra Belconnen and are confident the hotel will add to the vibrance of the Belconnen district with premium accommodation and a large range of facilities including various cafes & bars both in the hotel and the Canberra Labor Club."
Mercure Canberra Belconnen is located in the town centre of Belconnen, just 8km from the Canberra CBD, a short stroll from Westfield Belconnen, key government offices and is located within close proximity to the Belconnen business district, Calvary Hospital, University of Canberra, as well as the AIS and GIO Stadium. The transport Canberra bus network is located at the hotel's doorstep offering easy access to Canberra's famous cultural attractions, and just a short 20-minute drive from Canberra Airport.

Samsung will release leather covers for the Galaxy Fold 2
@NonsenseC_UAA
Dec 27, 2019 at 19:00 GMT 2 years ago
Samsung is planning to bring a new foldable smartphone dubbed Galaxy Fold 2, which will be a clamshell foldable phone, unlike its predecessor the Galaxy Fold. While we don't know much about what the upcoming Fold 2 will like, Samsung is planning to release a premium accessory for its upcoming foldable device.
According to SamMobile, Samsung will release premium leather covers, which you'll have to buy separately, for the Galaxy Fold 2. This, however, is not the first time that Samsung will be releasing leather covers — the Korean manufacturer released leather covers, which was made out of original Italian leather cover, for the Galaxy Fold. The leather cover for the Galaxy Fold currently costs $130, so you can expect the price of the leather covers for the Fold 2 to somewhere around that price point.
The upcoming Galaxy Fold 2 is expected to be significantly better than the original Galaxy Fold. According to renowned leaker Ice Universe, the Fold 2 will ditch the old plastic cover material in favor of the ultra-thin glass cover. This will make the screen looks flatter. Another benefit of having a glass cover is that it will develop fewer wrinkles, as opposed to the original Galaxy Fold, which developed far too many wrinkles.
Samsung's clamshell foldable device will have a dual-camera setup on the back. There is a small notification display on the back of the device which will offer needed information to the user when the device is in a folded state. When the device is opened, there is a punch-hole front camera for your selfie needs. And the device will feature a USB-C port for charging and there will be no 3.5mm headphone jack. Rumor also has it that the Galaxy Fold 2 will have support for the S Pen.

Catalogue text
The function of this plaque is not certain [1]. It has two remaining prongs with circular finials to retain it in place and to allow suspension of the lower section with the lion and vajra symbols. Possibly the prongs were designed to retain one strand of a leather or fabric belt, while the lower section retained a second strand behind the lion. The back of the plaque is completely smooth so it could have been worn at the waist. The prongs are too small to have served for hanging anything except a light fabric. The upper area of the prongs does not show additional wear at the rear side.
The lower section is rectangular in shape, 7 cm in length. There are two horizontal bars which have a curved edge in relief, while the centre is flat and devoid of decoration. The two vertical bars are each decorated with a vajra in relief. The tips of the vajra are inset in the horizontal bar, whose curved edge is modelled to enclose them.
The head and face of the rampant feline are rather worn, but there appears to be a mane. The silhouette and proportions are also similar to the lion represented on the bow-plaque (cat. 28). In view of the importance of the lion as a symbol of power both in ancient Tibet and in Buddhism, it seems probable that this creature is indeed a lion, framed here within the two vajras. In his study of several hundred early Tibetan amulets, Anninos has suggested that utilitarian objects with the lion motif in particular, together with Buddhist ornamentation, are to be attributed to the Tibetan imperial period [2].

Calpine Talking on Preliminary Basis with Alaska Gasline Group
By NGI Staff Reports
Calpine Corp., which represents one of the largest natural gas appetites in North America for its sizable fleet of gas-fired electric generating plants, confirmed Thursday that it is in preliminary talks with Alaska Gasline Port Authority (AGPA) about becoming one of the long-term customers for Alaska's estimated 6 Bcf/d of North Slope supplies.
Although not a formal memorandum of understanding, the deal involves a "determination of feasibility" with the nonprofit AGPA, a consortium that includes the Fairbanks and Valdez boroughs, in a long-standing plan to develop a municipally owned natural gas pipeline to bring North Slope supplies to the Lower 48 states through a possible combination of pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker shipments. A third borough near the source of the supplies — the North Slope Borough — was a member, but recently withdrew from the group, according to a news report in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
"This is an exciting project — particularly if an LNG receiving terminal is developed off California," said a Calpine spokesperson. "We see a lot of benefits not only for Calpine, but for the state of Alaska and customers in the Lower 48 states."
Jim Whitaker, a local Fairbanks elected official who serves on AGPA's board, said that Calpine has "committed to negotiate a fair price on a long-term basis," according to the report in the News-Miner.
Calpine is attracted to several aspects of the municipal pipeline proposal, according to its spokesperson, including the nonprofit, federal tax-exempt status of the pipeline authority, which Calpine hopes will translate into significant savings on gas prices, and also the flexibility of having the supplies come in the form of both overland pipeline and oceanic LNG.
While citing a 2000 letter from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Fairbanks Mayor Whitaker acknowledged that critics argue that the AGPA is not assured of avoiding federal income taxes on its projected profits, the local news report cited.
Besides lining up buyers downstream, the AGPA must also line up deals upstream with the major oil/gas interests that own the North Slope supplies, including Exxon Mobil, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. and ConocoPhillips, all of which have applied to the state to build a competing pipeline project.
The local report cited Calpine's vice president for natural gas, Brad Barnds, as labeling the North Slope gas as very important to Calpine's power plant operations in the Lower 48 states. Barnds called the company the "largest consumer of gas in the United States," and one that is "uniquely positioned to take a significant portion" of the Alaska gas.

My kids have always been fond of geography, so when Let's Go Geography offered one year of their three-year geography curriculum for review, I wanted to try it out.
Let's Go Geography is a downloadable curriculum that tackles one country every lesson. Each lesson is a PDF file that contains facts, links, and craft or activity instructions and printables. It's a very hands-on program, with an activity or craft for each country. The curriculum is for kinder to fourth grade, but Raine, my 10-year-old fifth grader enjoyed it more than Breeze, my 7-year-old second grader.
Once you sign up, you get access to the lessons. You're meant to do one lesson/one country a week, and in 36 weeks, cover about 27 countries (there are regular reviews and breaks built into the schedule). Each lesson/country is one individual PDF file. One of the great things about Let's Go Geography is that you get a weekly email with the link to the lesson of the week, which leads to the PDF file that you can download (if you haven't done so).
Each lesson has five components: mapping; coloring, cutting, and pasting the flag onto the appropriate Flag Page or Passport Page; listening to the national anthem and other national music; reading facts and 'sightseeing' via included pictures or through links; and finally, doing the activities or crafts. After every nine or ten lessons, there is a general review.
The lessons start with North and South American countries, but the girls wanted to check out Asian countries, so we skipped ahead. I also wanted to check out the lesson on the Philippines (which is where we are from). We read through the lessons on Iran, China, Mongolia, Thailand, Philippines, and New Zealand (we didn't go through Afghanistan and Cambodia yet), but the girls did the activities for Mongolia, Iran, and Thailand only.
Breeze is coloring in the roof of her yurt model for the Mongolia unit, while Raine is designing a Persian carpet from Iran.
Raine, who loves this kind of busy work, relished Let's Go Geography. "I really love this!" She exclaimed several times throughout our activities. Both girls enjoyed the video links to the different countries' national anthems and other local sights and activities. Breeze was enthralled by the horse race in Mongolia (we learned that in Mongolia, horse riding, wrestling, and archery are top skills, even to this day—you truly learn something new every day), that she watched it over and over again. I have memorized the sound track of the race.
Breeze loved the Mongolian horse race video--she can watch it over and over again.
There are links to maps that you are supposed to print out to do the map work. We have a markable map, so I didn't bother printing out the recommended maps. You are also to create a travel journal to keep track of all you've learned—basically a three-ring binder—but we skipped this too. The girls got funky new clipboards, so that's what they're using to keep their Let's Go Geography pages together. We also skipped the passport where you can stick the different country flags (It was a US passport; and besides I try to minimize printing as much as possible). We just checked out the countries in our Atlas, and Raine added the countries to our map (if it wasn't indicated already). The lesson includes some questions that you can answer by looking at the map, e.g. What country is south of…?
Next, we checked out the national anthems, and the traditional music of the countries. The links in the PDF open YouTube videos showing the appropriate topic. We also read the bits and pieces of trivia about the countries, then on to the sights. This is via more links, and the pictures, which you can print, cut and paste on to the aforementioned travel journal.
Then the girls colored their flags and stuck them on the Flags page (this one I printed out, as well as the flags pages). Then they did the craft.
Raine created this cat-friendly yurt.
As I said, Raine loved all the crafts. And they both loved the links to the videos. The videos add a different feel to our normally text-and-book-based geography lessons in the past. The crafts and activities also added another dimension. For the Philippines, there was a game called Tapatan, which I actually never heard of! It's a version of Tic Tac Toe, or those three-in-a-row games. I printed out the gameboard, but we haven't had a chance to play yet. It should be fun given that the girls adore Tic Tac Toe and other strategy board games. The Thai paper elephant was a hit, as was the Mongolian yurt and the Persian carpet. Me, I liked the notebooking page per country as well.
The facts presented were interesting tidbits, nothing too deep. The facts are interesting though, like the facts about Mongolia's Three Manly Games of Nadaam—these are the fun things that you remember (and my kids do!). It's a nice introduction to the countries, especially for younger kids.
I'm also iffy on the 'fun' fact about Imelda Marcos's shoes. I'm sure there are more facts out there. Then again, how can I complain when 'imeldific' is already a word (that describes ostentatious extravagance). And learning about that many shoes is indeed something that will stick in your head.
Overall, though, I think it's a great program. It's short enough to be fun, yet it gives a decent number of facts. The flags and the activities reinforce the learning. Young kids will enjoy this one.
Other homeschooling families have also tried out Let's Go Geography. Click below to read about their experiences.
Simon adores Let's Go Geography. He said it makes a great pillow.
He loves my cat-friendly clipboard too.
This sounds like an interesting curriculum. And I love your points about the Philippines. Something many may not have experience to discuss.

Ryanair shares soar as it ups full year profit guidance
Updated / Friday, 10 Jan 2020 13:33
Ryanair said its full year group traffic is now expected to grow to 154 million, up from its previous guidance of 153 million
Ryanair shares jumped over 7% today after the airline raised its guidance for full-year profit after tax by between 17% and 19%.
Ryanair upped its full-year profit target to between €950m and €1.050 billion on the back of a stronger-than-expected performance during the Christmas and New Year travel period.
The airline had previously predicted full year profits of €800-€900m.
Ryanair said based on current trading, it expected to finish close to the mid-point of this new range and the €1.02 billion it posted in its previous financial year, the airline's weakest annual profit in four years.
In a trading update today, the airline said its forward bookings from January to April are running 1% ahead of this time last year.
It said it believes this will result in slightly better than expected average fares in its fiscal fourth quarter.
Ryanair also said its full year group traffic is now expected to grow to 154 million, up from its previous guidance of 153 million.
But Ryanair said its Austrian subsidiary, Laudamotion, continues to underperform with average fares over Christmas lower than expected, despite strong traffic growth and high load factors.
Lauda now expects to carry 6.5 million passengers in the year to March 2020 but at average fares that are €15 below budget.
Ryanair said this will cause Lauda's net loss for the year to widen from under €80m to about €90m.
Today's profit upgrade from Ryanair comes after a year characterised by grounded planes and strikes.
The airline was forced to shut bases in Germany and Sweden after news that deliveries of new 737 Max planes were to be delayed.
The Boeing plane has been grounded after being involved in two fatal crashes.
Regulators have banned the plane from flying until they can be sure that concerns over mechanical and design problems have been addressed.
The company also narrowly avoided a pilots' strike in September when the union called it off.
Members of the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa) were set to walk out amid a "acrimonious" relationship with Ryanair, but called off the strikes at the last minute.

Q: how we can Save into table relation in Spring Boot what i usually does for saving to 2 tables that has a relationship is save using their repository, which is for me is like a double task, like this
tableARepository.save(tableA);

tableBRepository.save(tableB);

so does spring provide a solution for this kind of case ?
Thanks!

A: Please see link: https://thorben-janssen.com/hibernate-tips-cascade-persist-operation-child-entities/ and instead of entityManager.persist(entity); you can call parentRepository.save(entity);, but all the definitions of child relations mentioned in the article will be the same.

A: If there is a relationship between your tables, i suggest you to use annotations like @OneToOne, @OneToMany... in order to create a relation between your tables and consequently to save in one action instead

Q: Values not displaying in SSRS report header when multiple subreports display on page The values are displaying correctly in my page header with First(ReportItems!a_dept.Value) except on pages where my detail line is not displayed.  My report has group footers that have two lines, one with a description of the footer information and one with a subreport with the details of the subtotals for that group footer.  When multiple group footers/subtotals display on the page (one for division level, and one for department level for example), it takes up most of the page, so no detail line is displayed, so there is no values for First(ReportItems!a_dept.Value).  I tried adding hidden fields to the group footer description lines, and then adding an IIF/IS NULL calculation to the page header to display the value based on the footer that was displaying, but I received an error saying "The Value expression for the textrun refers to more than one report item. An expression in a page header or footer can refer to only one report item."  Does anyone have any other ideas?

A: The problem is that you have two ReportItems!a_dept.Value on the page based on the errors you described. There is a second way to access report items that returns a collection for the header and footer.
First(ReportItems("a_dept").Value)

The second access method comes from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-design/built-in-collections-reportitems-collection-references-report-builder?view=sql-server-2017

A: I got the error trying to ascertain whether the value existed.
If my tablix bleed over to a new page, the value was no longer available to display in the header.
=IIF(IsNothing(ReportItems!txtHIDDENName.Value),
     Previous(ReportItems!txtHIDDENName.Value),
     ReportItems!txtHIDDENName.Value)

This did not work.


TMW Systems announced that its 2010 TransForum User Conference and Exhibition has been moved from the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville TN to the Gaylord Texan property in Grapevine TX near the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.
After reports of extensive flooding damage to the original TransForum event location, the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville and TMW Systems began working with staff from Gaylord to make new location arrangements. This year's event will begin on the evening of Sunday, September 19, and run through Wednesday, September 22.
"The sheer amount of flooding and resulting water damage to the beautiful atrium, hotel, and convention center spaces at the Gaylord Opryland made it unlikely that the site would re-open in time for our event," said Michael August, vice-president and general manager, TMW Systems and co-chairman of the TransForum planning team.

"The Cartel" author Don Winslow is taking out a full-page ad in Sunday's New York Times that calls President Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions "woefully ignorant" about the causes of drugs and crime and about how to combat them. The ad shows a tweet from Winslow to Trump on top and an essay below.

Homes could be built where bodies were buried
WESTFIELD — A businessman wants to sell three lots for new homes at a former horse farm where victims of an Indiana serial killer were buried in the 1990s.
Noah Herron owns eight of the 18 acres in Westfield, north of Indianapolis. He says people are attracted by the beauty of the property and aren't repelled by the history.
In 1996, police recovered more than 5,000 human bone fragments buried at the property. Investigators believed Herb Baumeister strangled more than a dozen teen boys and men. He killed himself in Canada after the discovery of the remains.
The Indianapolis Star reports that Herron presented his project Monday to the Westfield City Council. A public hearing is planned for June.

A vehicle takes a significant amount of use and abuse and can quickly become littered with trash and dirt which can lead to foul smells and a less than pleasant visual appearance. Cleaning a vehicle can take hours, and requires the use of specialized tools to ensure that any dirt and debris is removed and the interior looks and smells great. Fortunately, a professional who provides Car Interior Cleaning in Omaha NE can have a car looking great in no time, and ensure it is ready for the road ahead.
The carpet in a vehicle can collect a considerable amount of dirt and debris, which can cause the carpet to wear down if it is not removed. A professional car cleaner takes it even further and will shampoo any carpet surfaces which will eliminate the greatest amount of dirt possible and help to remove any stains that may have formed. It will also alleviate any odor issues and ensure the interior of a car smells fresh and clean.
The sun can wreak havoc on the interior surfaces of a car, and the intense temperatures that can build up inside can cause any leather to dry out. This can lead to cracks and other deformities in the leather, but professional Car Interior Cleaning in Omaha NE will include leather conditioning, which will prevent any surfaces from drying out and will keep them looking great for years to come.
One of the least cleaned areas of a vehicle are the vents used for the heating and cooling system. If dirt and other contaminants are allowed to build up on the interior of the vent system, it can cause the air in a vehicle to smell musty. A car cleaning company will be able to remove the vent coverings from the car and clean out the duct system, which will ensure the air in a car is as clean and pure as possible.
If dirt and debris are allowed to build up in a vehicle, it can cause it to become dirty and unpleasant to drive. B Street Collision Center offers full interior and exterior cleaning services and can have any car looking great in no time. Call today to learn more and make keeping a car clean a simple task.

Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? In the desert I make a way, in the wasteland, rivers. 20 Wild beasts honor me, jackals and ostriches, For I put water in the desert and rivers in the wasteland for my chosen people to drink, 21 The people whom I formed for myself, that they might announce my praise.
2/ Second Reading: NAB Philippians 3:8 More than that, I even consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having any righteousness of my own based on the law but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God, depending on faith 10 to know him and the power of his resurrection and (the) sharing of his sufferings by being conformed to his death, 11 if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead. 12 It is not that I have already taken hold of it or have already attained perfect maturity, but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ (Jesus). 13 Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God's upward calling, in Christ Jesus.
3/ Gospel: NAB John 8:1 while Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area, and all the people started coming to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle. 4 They said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. 5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?" 6 They said this to test him, so that they could have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger. 7 But when they continued asking him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." 8 Again he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him. 10 Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" 11 She replied, "No one, sir." Then Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, (and) from now on do not sin any more."
I. THEME: God always invites people to look forward to their future.
When we review the history of salvation, there always exists an opposition between God and human beings. While God wants people to keep His law to achieve a happy life, people disobeyed Him by sinning and must suffer and die. When God looks for all possible ways to bring people back, they found ways to close all ways so that their brothers and sisters were confined in sins. While God always repairs, heals and lights up the hope for people, people found ways to divide, to destroy and to sow painful death.
Today readings want to highlight God's immense love for human beings through His works. In the first reading, though the Israelites were deserved of all punishments in exile, God still invites them to look forward to their future. He shall give them the opportunity to come back to their country as He led their forefathers to cross the Red Sea to escape their slavery from Egypt. In the second reading, although people must die because they didn't keep God's law, He still gives them Christ, His beloved Son to incarnate and to redeem their sins. By his sacrifice, the faithful can become righteous and hope for a reward which is the eternal life. In the Gospel, some scribes and Pharisees brought with them a woman who had been caught in adultery to Jesus to be stoned to death. Their purpose is to see what Jesus shall act: either following Moses' law to stone the woman or to protect his commandment of love to forgive her.
(1) God shall open a way in deserts to let the Israelites back to their country so they could re-establish their country and rebuild the temple. The prophet consoled people that they don't need to dwell in the Exodus' remembrance because God is going to do greater things. He shall liberate people from exiles through Cyrus and Darius' decrees, two Gentiles' kings; they shall even provide the financial means to help them to rebuild their country and temple.
(2) God's plan of salvation through Christ: He shall send the Messiah to liberate them from slavery for sins. Not only the Israelites but also all the Gentiles shall recognize and worship God.
2/ Reading II: I forget what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead.
(1) The resurrection: God gives Christ the power to resurrect from death. Christ is the guarantee for the resurrection of the faithful.
(2) If we share in his suffering, we shall also share in his glory: Christ passed through his Passion and Death to redeem people's sins. If the faithful share in his sufferings, they also share in his glorious resurrection.
2.3/ Looking forward to the future: People always act for a puspose; the glorious resurrection is the hope for people to advance. Paul firmly believe that if he continues to go forward, he shall receive the glorious crown, the resurrection, which Jesus is waiting to give it to him. The attitude to go forward helps him not to be distracted by earthly things, but to overcome all obstacles to reach the goal which God predestines for people through Christ. Though there are still sufferings along the way, but if the faithful let Christ be their Lord, he shall help them to overcome all.
(1) Moses' law: John clearly indicated this is the set up trap of the scribes and the Pharisees, "They said this to test him, so that they could have some charge to bring against him." According to Moses' law (Cf. Lev 20:10; Deut 22:22-24), those who committed adultery shall be stoned to death.
(2) Jesus' commandment of love: They knew that Jesus teaches people about the law of love and of forgiveness; therefore, they wanted to demonstrate for people that Jesus' teachings are wrong because they are against the Moses' law.
One can recognize right away that they are putting Jesus in a difficult situation: If Jesus says "No," they shall stone him to death because he teaches people to oppose Moses' law; but if Jesus says "Yes," his teachings about love and forgiveness are ineffective because he teaches one way and practices another way. They are firmly sure that Jesus shall have no way to escape. They underestimated Jesus' wisdom!
3.2/ The law of love is triumphant.
(1) The examination of conscience is necessary: John described Jesus' actions as follows, "Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he bent down and wrote on the ground." What Jesus wrote we don't know. One certain thing is that Jesus wanted people to examine their conscience before they condemn other; he can see through all people's mind so that they can't carelessly examine their conscience.
When people examine their conscience, they recognize that they aren't better than others; this helps them to understand and to forgive others. If they aren't good, why they want others to be good; others are also human beings like them. Those who don't frequently examine of their conscience, shall be easy to condemn others because they think they are good and perfect.
(2) The only One can condemn, refuses to condemn: Hearing Jesus' challenge, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him. Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She replied, "No one, sir." Then Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on do not sin any more."
The moment of encounter between Jesus and the woman shall certainly leave an indelible mark in the woman's memory. He is the only one who can condemn, refuses to condemn her; but opens a door to future and invite her to enter. He seems to remind her that though her sin was against God and others, but the one who suffered the most is her. She should use the opportunity of forgiveness to change and to make her life better.
Jesus showed us that his law of love is victorious over Moses' law, because his law brought back a lost child; while if he acts according to Moses' law, it shall certainly leave behind a dead body. God isn't happy to see His child in a painful death; but He jumps for joy to see His child to repent and to live.
- God must correct us by sufferings; but He has power over all worldly power to recover our dignity as God's children if we sincerely repent and return to Him.
- We must let Christ be the Lord of our life. He shall help us to overcome all obstacles of life and give us the glorious throne which is the everlasting life.
- We should frequently examine of our conscience instead of waisting our time to judge and to condemn others. Those who do this shall have opportunities to advance, easily forgiving others and be judged with mercy in the Last Judgment Day.


When the words "financial management" come into mind, I'm sure you aren't thinking about a fun way to spend your Saturday night. That must be because you haven't given Cha-Ching from Midnight Apps a shot. Cha-Ching, available on both the Mac and iPhone/iPod Touch platforms. allows you to log your daily transactions, make and keep track of different bank accounts and helps you plan and stick to a budget.
Currently, the Mac version of the software is in its last stages of beta testing before its big 2.0 release. This means that you might run into some slight issues regarding features that have yet to be enabled but are sure to be included in the update. With that in mind, let's jump right in!
Installing Cha-Ching is a snitch, and once you get past the splash screen, you will be ushered right into an empty database. The application is tastefully designed, with easy options to add accounts and view your transactions in a variety of ways.
This includes a iTunes like cover-flow view, which is great if you spend the time to add photos to each of the payments your make.
Cha-Ching also can help you manage tasks related to your finances,the scheduling of transactions (like your paycheck or electric bill) and all the different people who handle your money, known in this app as Payees. These features also translate over to the iPhone application, allowing you to view upcoming scheduled transaction and manage your Payees.
When adding a transaction, either on-the-go or in front of your Mac, Cha-ching pushes you to use the title of the transaction to describe who the money is coming or going to. Additionally, it leaves a space for a note about the payment, which is helpful in organizing. Categories and tags are also used to help keep everything structured and searchable.
On-the-go, adding a new transaction required a preset Payee, which can be found either through a searchable contacts list, by a favorites list or by locating nearby Payee.
Setting their location must be done on the iPhone/iPod Touch application and does not reflect the address information in the main Mac app, nor does it synchronize with the Mac application in any way.
All transactions are also either classified as Pending or Reconciled. This relates to whether the money has been transfered out of your account, or has been cleared on your charge card.
In this beta's current state, there is no budget syncing between the mobile edition of Cha-Ching and the desktop application. However, you can set the application up to the point where transactions with certain tags will automatically become sorted into your budget of choice.
I personally prefer the category based organization in the mobile version compared to the tag based organization in the desktop application. Also, the mobile edition includes an overall budget which is not automatically set up in the desktop application.
The differences between these two version can become confusing, and I would hope that this feature would be adjusted before the program exits beta.
Cha-Ching offers a password protection system that is required to open the financial transaction database. The mobile version of the application is similar, requiring a 4 digit passcode before allowing access to your financial data.
Synchronization between the iPhone/iPod Touch application is done only over Wifi, and currently only manually, however Midnight Apps have promised that automatic syncing is on the way.
Unfortunately, unlike several other applications like MoneyWell and Quicken, you cannot download your transaction data from your bank's online website. This requires the user to manually enter each transaction, which can become tiresome. However, the application has a built in web browser for access to your bank's online portal.
Cha-Ching is a simple and well designed application for managing your daily purchases and formulating a monthly budget. However, the current beta does restrict you from being able to use every aspect of the application. My main complaint with the application is the lack of automatic syncing and lack of budget syncing.
What do you think about Cha-Ching? Do you use something else to manage how many 99-cent apps you bought for your iPhone or iPod Touch?
