Il topazio è un minerale di silicato d'alluminio e fluoro. I cristalli di topazio più puri e dalla colorazione più intensa vengono lavorati come gemme ed impiegati in gioielleria. Cristallizza nel sistema ortorombico e i suoi cristalli sono principalmente prismatici, terminanti con facce piramidali e altre.

Giacimenti e origine
Questo silicato di alluminio è molto simile per struttura allo zircone; entrambi infatti sono dei silicati che appartengono al gruppo dei nesosilicati, cioè silicati la cui struttura mineralogica si basa su tetraedri isolati di SiO4: ne risulta una disposizione molto compatta così che i vari minerali presentano elevati valori di rifrangenza, durezza e densità.

Il topazio si forma principalmente in rocce plutoniche e vulcaniche di tipo acido, ossia ricche in silicio e fluoro, più raramente nelle rocce metamorfiche. Le condizioni di formazione variano dalle alte temperature delle condizioni magmatiche, a quelle intermedie della fase pegmatitica fino a quelle più basse della fase idrotermale. Essendo un minerale acido la sua paragenesi tipica è quarzo, fluorite, tormalina e berillo.

Il topazio è un minerale allocromatico, ossia se chimicamente puro è incolore; elementi in traccia quali cromo, manganese, ferro e/o centri di colore nella struttura reticolare gli conferiscono le molteplici colorazioni con cui è conosciuto. In natura si riscontrano le seguenti colorazioni, elencate dalla più rara alla più comune: rosso, rosa, blu-verde, azzurro (naturale), rosa-arancio, giallo-bruno, giallo-arancio (cherry), giallo, incolore.

I topazi marroni, gialli, arancio, ciliegia, rossi e rosa, si trovano in Brasile e nello Sri Lanka. Quelli rosa si trovano in Pakistan e Russia.

Forma in cui si presenta in natura

È una gemma piuttosto rara e stupenda, che attira per i suoi tenui ma lucenti colori. Esistono anche colorazioni intense. È sovente confusa con altre pietre che presentano la medesima colorazione, specialmente con il quarzo che, nelle tonalità bruna e gialla, è spesso spacciato per topazio.

Mason & Hamlin: The only piano ever considered to have exceeded the Steinway in lush, singing, American piano sound.
Estonia: A 100% European hand made piano rated among the world's best pianos including Steinway NY by Pianobuyer.
For substantially less than the cost of a new Steinway and with higher quality features, you can own a 100% European or American hand-made performance grade grand piano - a true masterpiece of heirloom quality. You will notice an immediate difference upon inspection! Fantastic quality control in all cosmetic details and rock solid contruction. These pianos have a very special feel and sound quality not found in most pianos and certainly no others in their price range which is just slightly more than a mass produced Yamaha, Kawai, or Boston. Incredibly, the Estonia pianos are in the same price range as Steinway's Boston piano which is made in Japan by Kawai. Yet the Estonia pianos closely resemble the Hamburg (highest quality not sold in the US) Steinway in tone and touch and are easily comparable to pianos double their price - seriously! Estonia pianos have complete Renner actions made in Germany which are also used in other highest quality pianos.
The piano shown below is the Estonia Model 190 (6'3") Grand Hidden Beauty in Ebony Polish with Bubinga trim. Please call Nick for pricing at 941-485-1820, since my prices are too low for manufacturer's permission to advertise, and this is internet policy in the piano business.
These are verifiably the highest quality new pianos in Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Myers, or Naples for the price offered.


Obviously the simple concept for this puzzle was the visual animation of a pendulum clock (going further I was thinking of those "moving eyes" cat clocks). I realized early on that I was in some trouble when the only entries I could come up with that did not have a S-TOCK ending was an old and probably unfamiliar to many John Wayne movie and of course the "bum" entry. Those two entries would dictate the length of their partners on the other side of the puzzle, also limiting those entries as well. So to critics I would say I recognize that the puzzle fill is not as good as I had hoped it would be. If I had to do over again I might have tried to add a central vertical entry in the vein of say "time marches on" but again I don't know if I could have pulled it off given the constraints of the grid. I'm delighted that Will Shortz thought enough of the concept of the puzzle to accept it, and I hope that solvers take some enjoyment in the visual play here. Time will tell.
Interesting Tuesday puzzle, one which ping pongs between TICK and TOCK down the grid. I searched all over for some sort of element to tie it together, some revealing theme entry or visual of a clock? Maybe if I squint really hard, I can sort of see a little hand in the black squares?
Ambitious grid today. I like that Ed has done something different, something I've never seen before — that in itself is admirable. Too often, Tuesdays run the risk of being a slight variation on a theme, and this definitely is not that. Being a financial guy, I really like the entry COMMON STOCK, although I can see how some puzzlers might not common, er, cotton to it as much as me. Seeing BUTTOCK also gave me a immature giggle. So some good choices in his themers. I even appreciated McLintock! as pretty much anything starring The Duke is good by me. And the exclamation point at the end of McLintock! made me laugh. Easily amused, I guess.
Those NW and SE corners are hard to construct. Even as separated as they are from the rest of the grid (you can only enter them through AFLAC and HATER, respectively), any constrained 7x4 chunk of white space will be a challenge to fill. Ed does quite well in the SE corner, working in OPEN TOE and HATER, without much muss or fuss. BOS is probably the weakest element there, given that the clue [Cow genus] was mystifyingly hard for a Tuesday.
That NW corner gave me pause. I absolutely loved I GOOFED, a wonderful, colorful entry. Along with the shout-out to Eartha KITT and her smoky voice, that's a ton of good stuff in a single section. However, AGIO left me scratching my head, especially for an early-week offering. After studying finance for two years and being steeped in the finances of my start-up company, I had never heard of AGIO. ARBS, IPOS, LBOS, MBOS, totally fine terms in everyday use; AGIO... not so much. It's quite possible that it's commonplace in some financial niche, but yikes. Super, super tough for me and nigh impossible for some. I like learning new terms from crosswords — I think it's a great boon to a daily diversion — but AGIO 1.) strikes me as ADITesque and 2.) doesn't seem too fair to have crossing KAMPALA, which maybe should be better known in general knowledge but didn't come easily to me. As always, could just be me.
With such a novel grid and relatively high theme density, I appreciate seeing some of the great stuff Ed packed in, NUTCASE, MOBSTER, even Nat HENTOFF, who I had read about in a jazz history class in college (a reviewer reading about a reviewer, how meta). With even DEARIE and LOOFAH, Ed does well to slot in some nice stuff.
Overall, a nice idea for a theme. I would have loved an additional layer somewhere, either as a revealer (as Ed mentioned in his comments), or some sort of visual related to a kitty-cat shaped clocks. Really, what problems can't be solved with a kitty-cat clock with its cute little tail swishing back and forth and its cute wittle eyes... oops, I've said too much.

An implanted chip in a person would be able to tell emergency workers and doctors a person's name and contact information as well as any medical conditions. There is another company in Cincinnati Ohio called CityWatcher.com that is using implanted chips at a company for accessing a room.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, there is an "Implant Night" at the Barcelona's Baja Beach Club. On Tuesday nights customers that come with chip implants don't wait in line and get their chip scanned. By scanning the customer's chip it will automatically withdraw the funds from the bank account to pay for the drinks.
The down side to a chip implant that the FDA warns of potential adverse interactions with an MRI scan. The incompatibility can cause the implant to possible heat up and cause the patient to be burned. This poses concern with the safety of this chip implant. What happens if the item malfunctions? This too would be of concern. It just seems like a good idea to keep the chips outside of the body. Maybe a ring or a necklace would be better?
There are currently 80 medical centers that have the scanners to read and detect for the chip. The medical procedure cost $200 to have the rice sized implant put into the patients arm. The good news is that medical staffers and doctors may be more aware of your medical condition and treat the emergency better. The bad news is that it can have a potential risk of a severe burn if a MRI is performed.
Thoughts of what could go wrong come to mind. Would an arm be chopped off for access to secrets for financial gain? Would a person be drugged and the chip removed to steal all their finances? And the person would not have any legal protection because the chip was implanted and it was them that did it, even though maybe they didn't do it. I think I would rather have someone steal my purse or wallet than my arm! It sounds wonderful in some regards, but the reality is that there is always a criminal element in every aspect of society that would exploit this technology. Whether it is the government imposing your freedom or a criminal group trying to rip you off, it would be bad news eventually.

Pete Davidson Says Bob Saget Helped Him Through Mental Struggles
PETE DAVIDSON: BOB SAGET HELPED ME THROUGH ROUGH MENTAL STRUGGLES
Tributes have been pouring in about Bob Saget, and how he touched so many lives, but few are as poignant as Pete Davidson's .. who says Bob stepped up for him during some pretty dark times.
BILLY MCFARLAND
Pete does not hop on social media -- period, but he made an exception for Bob, whom he called "one of the nicest men on the planet."
Pete wrote, "When I was younger and several times throughout our friendship he helped me get through some rough mental health stuff."
But, it wasn't just a "Hey, how ya doin'" call. Pete says Bob was genuinely concerned and wanted to help ... "He stayed on the phone with my mom for hours trying to help in anyway he can -- connecting us with doctors and new things we can try. He would check in on me and make sure I was okay."
It's one of a slew of tributes to Bob. TMZ broke the story, he died Sunday in an Orlando hotel room at age 65.
Pete ended this way ... "I love you Bob. It was an honor to know you. Thank you for your kindness and friendship. My condolences to the family."
Does Miley Cyrus Have A New Boyfriend?! Sources Say She Is Now Dating Drummer Maxx Morando!
It seems like Miley Cyrus has a new man in her life!
According to E! News, a source revealed on Friday that she is now dating a fellow musician named Maxx Morando, saying:
"She's happily dating Maxx. It's official between them."
SABRINA GUINNESS

SAUL CANELO ALVAREZ
SCOTT STORCH
In case you didn't know, Morando is one of the four members of the Los Angeles-based rock band Liily. The 23-year-old reportedly has been hanging out with Miley for some time now, as they share some mutual friends. Their connection sounds like it was pretty natural since another source confessed to E! that:
"They are both artistic and creative, so they bond over being musicians."
Related: Kim Kardashian Unfollows Miley Cyrus Amid Pete Davidson Romance!
He even went to Miami to support the 29-year-old singer while she hosted her New Year's Eve special for NBC last week. The second insider dished:
"He was backstage with Miley and Pete at the New Year's Eve rehearsals and taping having a good time with them. They were are all super friendly with one another and seemed to have a great night."
In videos shared on social media by fans, the couple could be seen holding hands while they danced and sang along to the music backstage that night. Ch-ch-check it out (below):
Photos published by The Daily Mail also showed Miley and Maxx getting cozy and embracing on the balcony of her room, which you can see HERE. So it is safe to say that there is definitely something going on here!
ICYMI, fans first started speculating that the pair were an item after they were seen cozying up at Gucci's Love Parade runway show in November 2021. During the event, eyewitnesses spotted Miley and Maxx holding hands. Per E!, there was even a sweet moment where the Hannah Montana alum wrapped her arms around the artist. Cute! She also sneakily included him in a photo dump from the evening on Instagram.
While both of the stars have remained tight-lipped about their budding romance, Miley actually gushed about Maxx in a September interview with Vogue about her festival looks. Speaking about a custom design he and designer Shane Kastl made, the Disney star said:
"This look is a one-of-a-kind collaboration between two of my favorite emerging artists, Maxx Morando and Shane Kastl. Their collaboration is the perfect example of sustainability becoming the next fashion phase, and it proves that anything can be reinvented, which resonates with me deeply."
We'll have to wait and see if Miley or Maxx confirms their relationship. In the meantime, though, drop your reactions to her new beau in the comments below!

Hyderabad: Cops face leaders' wrath for traffic jams
DECCAN CHRONICLE.
Published Jun 23, 2019, 1:28 am IST
Updated Jun 23, 2019, 1:28 am IST
It was the season's first downpour and all drains were overflowing which led to waterlogging across the roads in all areas.

Hyderabad: If angry ministers and MLAs who were caught in the virtual gridlock for several hours on the roads leading to Hitec City on Friday evening were endlessly calling up top police officers and wondering what went wrong with the traffic and the roads in just one downpour, some of the top bureaucrats were left fuming and could not do much except venting their anger at their subordinates, particularly the traffic police officials.
Like quite a few bureaucrats including IAS, IPS and income-tax officials, who were on their way to the attend the marriage of the son of income-tax commissioner, Chennai, C. Srinivas Reddy, the state police chief was caught in the gridlock for close to three hours and reached the venue very late.
"At least two ministers and three MLAs were caught in the gridlock. Some of them spent two hours while the vehicle of other VIPs just could not move for almost three hours. Some got so angry that they wanted to walk to their destinations but the roads had turned into rivers and there was no choice but to remain seated in their SUVs," police officials who were manning the traffic at different places in Jubilee Hills, Madhapur and Hitec City, told Deccan Chronicle.
Close to a dozen bureaucrats from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh were caught in the gridlock and they helplessly looked for ways to get out of the mess, but could not succeed.
So much communication was taking place between policemen, right from the constable to the top brass and from the security personnel of the VIPs to the policemen on the roads, that the wireless communication over VHF sets was at its peak. That was not of much help as the traffic situation went haywire by evening and it was like everybody had just given up.
At one point, Mr Mahendar Reddy, who previously worked as Hyderabad police commissioner and state Intelligence chief, got down at an intersection between Jubilee Hills and Madhapur and started monitoring traffic. When contacted by this newspaper, Mr Reddy chose not to comment when asked to share his experience of getting caught in one of the worst gridlocks Hyderabad had witnessed and how he began monitoring the traffic. It is learnt that not only Mr Mahendar Reddy, but the police commissioners of Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda were flooded with calls and Whatsapp messages from ministers, MLAs and the common public.
"It was the season's first downpour and all drains were overflowing which led to waterlogging across the roads in all areas. This led to the gridlock. There is so much of construction activity around that water got stagnated at different places and vehicles were getting piled up. The municipal officials are to be blamed for this," a senior police official, requesting anonymity said.
It is reliably learnt that a furious Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and his son K.T. Rama Rao, who had promised to make Hyderabad a global city, took to task senior police and GHMC officials for their failure to take the required steps to prevent the gridlock. "Both were receiving continuous complaints from their MLAs," a source said. As for the public, they took to Twitter to vent their ire at the government.

Brown and Gordon asked whether the Poisson Dixmier–Moeglin equivalence holds for any complex affine Poisson algebra, that is, whether the sets of Poisson rational ideals, Poisson primitive ideals, and Poisson locally closed ideals coincide. In this article a complete answer is given to this question using techniques from differential-algebraic geometry and model theory. In particular, it is shown that while the sets of Poisson rational and Poisson primitive ideals do coincide, in every Krull dimension at least four there are complex affine Poisson algebras with Poisson rational ideals that are not Poisson locally closed. These counterexamples also give rise to counterexamples to the classical (noncommutative) Dixmier–Moeglin equivalence in finite GK dimension. A weaker version of the Poisson Dixmier–Moeglin equivalence is proven for all complex affine Poisson algebras, from which it follows that the full equivalence holds in Krull dimension three or less. Finally, it is shown that everything, except possibly that rationality implies primitivity, can be done over an arbitrary base field of characteristic zero.

Read this today, and it got me thinking...
The end of the Cold War alliance system, coupled with increasing globalization, and slowing economic growth have all exacerbated racism and nationalism across the world. The process we are seeing right now is the beginning of the end for the modern world order.
Eastern Asia:
Japan-China maritime disputes have flared massively in the past five years. Recently a USN and PLAN ship nearly collided, displaying China's aggressive behavior. Chinese leaders often feel pressured by nationalism to push the situation to the limit.
The Americas:
Racial tensions in the US (there have been some nasty violent incidents lately).
Ukraine. Nationalism in Eastern Europe and even some rambling of Nordicism in certain sectors of Russian society.
Civil war in Syria, revolutions in Egypt. Islamic radicals preaching ever more violent doctrines.
What do you think? Do you think national sentiments are about to explode, or not?
Shit's going to happen, but exactly what I can't tell. I can guess the Syrian civil war is going to worsen, and a civil war might occur in the Ukraine, but I have yet to see this as a product of globalization, or race tension in the US (and I live there, so I should know).
I won't comment too much on the race tension issue (I live in the US as well, and I can say it *does* exist), but I will say globalization has caused economic trends, such as increasing economic inequality, trends towards over specialization, etc, that reduce economic well being for many people, helping to give a breeding ground for radical action.
Ah, it makes a little more sense now, but if you know things about this race tension, you should say it.
The main problem in the USA isn't racial in origin, but economical... Race is just a convenient excuse for people (not you, but the people actually causing the problems) to avoid the underlying issues.
I would say a lot of people (of all races, left wing and right wing) have a lot of money to make by exploiting racial tensions amongst Americans.
Though I honestly think tensions would still exist even without them. It is just made much worse by agitators.
Well, of course race is economical. What southern Dixiecrat/Republican extremist wouldn't say "I might be poor, but I'm not poor like blacks are" or "I earned my money, not like those Jews!" or even "At least I don't collect welfare, like those damn illegals". The far right (aka KKK, Nazis, fascists) like to add to tension, and the far left (communists) try to influence the oppressed to rise up. Thankfully, these nutjobs are pretty much harmless.
I wouldn't say harmless. I think the Tea Party has an angry white person streak in it, and that has been gaining in recent years. Conversely, there are some black commentators who still act like America is some sort of white supremacist segregation state.
Yeah this is pretty much my viewpoint as well.
In an ideal political system in America, I would have it that the politicians would deal with economics first before moving on to social issues, so that way the most pressing issues are solved (the issues of bread and butter, not sexuality or skin color, even though I have my own ideas on those two). On top of that, as Fareed Zakaria has said, when the middle class was strong in America, our politics was far more moderate.
Problem is, politicians somewhere around 1994 thought they could exploit racial/religious divisions in America to win easy points (they were always doing this, but it seems in the 1990s the "culture wars" started to pass all other issues), instead of focusing on concrete economic policies that would benefit us all.
I think it produces a destructive cycle. You try and win the cheap points by focusing on social, not economic issues first. Since public attention to the fine points of economics is diverted, the government and big corporations begin messing with the system to gear it towards better self gain, slowly degrading the middle class in the process.
As the middle class declines, the politics becomes more radical (I call it the urban hipster-rural white trash dichotomy, you may call it something else ), however by this point people become too focused on social issues, and can't really do anything meaningful in regards to trade policy, wages, etc.
Ross, you once said that the US might end up like Argentina if we keep on our current path. I am more inclined towards a USSR style disintegration (maybe later today I will flesh out a full post on why I think that). I think tensions in America exploded exponentially *under* Obama (key word, *under*, not necessarily because of) and I think at this point every group, except moderate middle class people (of any race or religion or sexuality), are trying to change society radically.
Well, the Republicans don't just get their votes from the white supremacy crowd. In fact, they more often get their votes by attacking anyone to the political left of them, through "Red Fear" tactics. this in turn causes policies to help the poor getting stalled in Congress, or not even passing. A good example of a Republican playing off racial AND economic tension is Rush Limbaugh.
I notice you're saying that in a way that would imply to most that the left doesn't do that... In fact they do it far more, and far worse than the right ever could. (95% of mass media is controlled by the extremest left)
I think both do it equally, it's just that the more liberal oriented people dominate all the "mainstream" establishments, so more people share their views than the right wing ones.
It's really hard to be pragmatic, or thoughtful whenever discussing identity in this nation, especially now a days. It's always a rush to paint the "other" as evil. There is little communication. I think if we allow this sentiment to keep building up whilst the economy declines, we will eventually be faced with some pretty bad (and violent) situations.
Are you kidding me? America is dominated by conservatives. If the extreme left control 95% of the media, how can an organization like Fox News attract so many viewers, and become "mainstream"? Name three major leftist radio commentators, for that matter.
America is not fully "dominated" by anyone.
You have CNN (fairly liberal) and MSNBC (very liberal) as two cable channels against Fox news already. Add on top of that the "big 3" original nightly news show, and you have an uninspiring picture if you are a right wing person.
If conservatives "dominated" America, like you said, then why are states gradually legalizing same sex marriage, and why do the Democrats still control the Presidency and Senate (sure, it's not total control, but it's not nothing either)?
Maybe I can't name you three radio commentators, but that is just a matter of media. How about TV or movies, or print/web media? Bill Maher, Ariana Huffington, and Michael Moore, to name a few?
As for Fox News,
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/27/frank-rich-fox-news-new-york_n_4672800.html
Last I made a glance, Fox only had around 1 million viewers now.
In a nation of 310 million.
When I said dominated, I meant majority (even if by a slim minority). I was also trying to prove a point with BTG and his claim that 95% of the media is in leftist control. Additionally, your new comments now give me a better understanding of what exactly is going on.
When a slim majority has some control, that is not domination, that is barely keeping on to power.
As for mainstream media, I would have to pull up the studies from somewhere, but I do know many scholars have proof that most mainstream American media (such things as Fox news excepted) are quite far to the left of the public. And quite frankly, I think anyone who really watches the mainstream news would be inclined to think something to this effect as well.
On a side note, I am writing to my Senator this week, complaining about how the US is arming "moderate" Syrian rebels. We just can't seem to stay out of the middle east. Though I know it won't do a damned thing.
I am writing to my Senator this week, complaining about how the US is arming "moderate" Syrian rebels. We just can't seem to stay out of the middle east. Though I know it won't do a damned thing.
Ah, Syria, Syria. I don't think there is a single solution for the Syrian problem. There's the Syrian "moderates", who claim they're fighting for democracy, the Sunni terrorists that are intent on creating a hardline Islamic state, the Syrian government that preaches fascism and Shiite ideals, aided by the anti Israeli group Hezbollah and Iran, a Kurdish rebellion throughout the area, and possibly chemical weapons that are still floating around....no end to madness. What to do is the million dollar question. As for US intervention in the Middle East, I give you two reasons for this: the threat of Islamic terrorism and bountiful oil.
To the Honorable Patty Murray
I have recently read about the semi secret decision by the Congress to supply light armaments to "moderate" Syrian rebels. While I do not have access to the intelligence that you or other decision makers may have, from what I do know, this is a major mistake.
My first issue is, if the US is really doing as it say's, and is only supplying "moderate" forces, this is a political mistake. Factions do not usually fight in such violent and extreme conflicts, and gain a mass following as a "moderate" movement. At best, they may become a third (or even fourth) group that may influence decisions, but rarely set the tone of the situation. Mikhail Gorbachev in the Soviet Union of the 1980s and 1990s attempted at many points to straddle a middle, moralistic ground between communist hardliners, and non communist liberals, eventually to the detriment of his career and nation. History is littered with countless examples of attempting to take a moral high ground at the expense of pragmatism, and arming only "moderate" rebel's seems to fit this pattern.
My second issue to raise is that we continually engage ourselves as a nation extensively in the Middle East. The Middle East is full of overlapping ethnic and religious rivalries which lead to violent situations. While no doubt the US has valid interests in this region, is it really worth involving ourselves in every dispute in that region? Especially in light of the "pivot to Asia," and our own domestic problems. Iraq was an example of a war that gained us little, but lost our nation a lot. Afghanistan in the 1980s was an example of blowback, where the power vacuum created by the collapse of the Soviet backed government led eventually to a Taliban takeover of most of Afghanistan, and Afghanistan being utilized by Al Qaeda terrorists to attack the United States.
I sincerely hope that you and your colleagues either vote to reduce the supply of arms to Syria (to any faction), or at least be more cautious when approving funds next time around.
Excuse me for not responding directly faster, I have been busy with school work.
I fully agree, Syria is a complex issue that will not have an easy solution. The only place I would really disagree with you on are the two motivators.
Oil: Syria has some oil, but it is not a major oil producer like, say, Saudi Arabia. Besides that, we are starting to get oil from other locations anyway (Fracking, for instance, whether or not it's right is a whole other debate).
Terrorism: In this case, if the rebels prevail, we will most likely get a terrorist haven out of Syria. Supporting anti Assad forces is doing something to help, not hurt terrorism. I have read some rumblings that one of the motivators behind Syria are the far right Israeli Likud party, and their associated pro Israel lobbies in the US, who want to wipe out any regime opposed to Israel, even if it is in the long term interest for Israel to have a rational (however cruel) state actor like Assad, as opposed to a bunch of irrational Muslim fanatics.

Q: when one sample size is less than 30 and the other is greater than 30 I'm trying to solve for confidence interval for the difference in means and i was given two sample sizes, one less than 30 and the other greater. i dont know if this requires a t test or z test. which is appropriate?

A: You cannot go wrong with a t-test. The Z-test is only an approximation for very large N's (or when the standard deviations are known, which is rarely the case).

Trade and culture
New Zealand has had important links with Asia since the early decades of European contact. Before it became a British colony, New Zealand was part of the British Empire's network of trading posts, and connected to Asian ports and trade routes.
The first Indian settlers
Author and traveller John Lidiard Nicholas met a 'lascar', an Indian sailor, at the Bay of Islands in 1814. The sailor had jumped ship in 1810, married into Ngāpuhi and adopted their way of life, preferring to stay in New Zealand rather than return to India. In 1813 six lascars jumped ship in Otago Harbour. Three ended up living with Ngāi Tahu and received moko. They reputedly taught Ngāi Tahu to attack ships in the rain (because muskets could not be used if the gunpowder got wet), as well as how to dive and cut ships' cables.
From the 1790s to the 1820s, tens of thousands of New Zealand sealskins – often used for felt and leather – were exported to Guangzhou (which Europeans knew as Canton), the capital of China's Guangdong province and the main trading city for South China.
Kauri spars for masts were shipped to India and China, and in 1826 two young Māori rangatira travelled to India on the kauri transport ship St Patrick. They became the 'toast of Calcutta'.
The trade of commodities and ideas between Britain, China and India influenced New Zealand's colonial society and culture as it developed. Indian tea, Bengal rum and Chinese porcelain, textiles and furnishings were among popular Asian imports. From 1870 Indian religions and 'Oriental wisdom' attracted fascination and debate in religious circles across the British world, including New Zealand.
Language theories
British and German studies in comparative philology (the branch of linguistics that compares languages) suggested that all Indo-European languages originated from ancient Sanskrit. Following on from this it was widely believed, at least until the 1930s, that Māori and British probably shared a north Indian 'Aryan' ancestry.
Goldfield migration
From 1866 the goldfields of central Otago and Southland drew Chinese workers, with as many as 5,000 Chinese mining there for gold by the 1880s. Nearly all were from Guangdong province. Some came straight from China; others had been mining in Australia. They also had links with Chinese populations in North and South America and the Pacific Islands.
After the gold rushes many Chinese returned to China, but a considerable number chose to stay. Chinese communities emerged, particularly in Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland. Some established market gardens, laundries and shops selling vegetables and Chinese products.
Very few Chinese men could afford to bring their wives to New Zealand, but some married Māori or Pākehā women.
Asia in Māori newspapers
Māori-language newspapers, published from the mid-19th century, included many articles on Asia. There were detailed accounts of Asian cultures, religions, cities and commerce. They also covered events such as the 'Indian Mutiny' of 1857 and the famines of the 1870s in China and India. In response to reports in Te Wananga, Māori shearers from a range of tribes donated money to help victims of the 1874 Indian famine.
19th-century impressions of Asia
During the 19th century New Zealand's Pākehā population generally regarded Asians as backward and inferior. Although India was seen as the 'jewel in the crown' of the British Empire, it was considered that only the British had the ability to rule it.
Few Indians migrated to New Zealand before the early 20th century. However, numerous British settlers arrived who had spent time in India or other parts of Asia, usually serving in the army.
Doctors and missionaries travelled to India and China from New Zealand, with women particularly active in missionary work. These travellers' experiences were often published in newspapers, providing a key source of wider knowledge about Asia.

Okay, I have to admit it: despite the buzz around Evernote and despite the fact that I downloaded it a looooong time ago, I still don't get all the potential of the system yet. Maybe because I can't use it with my cell phone (I have a terrible phone camera... can you believe it?? LOL). Maybe because I already use vi.sualize.us for images. Maybe because I don't like the design (the 2 windows in the desktop feature are not really practical, the reading windows is too small to my taste). Don't know why, but I don't use it fully yet. I don't get defeated that easily, though, and since many of my organisation-gurus are 100% convinced, I will give it another try, and even a couple more if needed.
Did you try Evernote? What did you think? Any tips or advice to enjoy it more?
I joined Vi.sualize.us but have not really had the time to try it out. How have you found it?


Although Bawtry is in Yorkshire it has historically formed part of the Archdeaconry of Nottingham and, more recently, the Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham.
It is a Transitional church founded in 1190 with 14th and 15th century alterations. John de Buisli built the church, along with Austerfield St Helena, and gave them both to Blyth Priory. They were both separated from the parish of Blyth in 1858.
The building consists of an aisled three-bay nave, two-bay chancel with south chapel, north organ chamber, vestry and embattled west tower with eight pinnacles containing bells and a clock. It is built primarily of ashlar magnesian limestone, with the east end stuccoed. Modern wood doors provide access through the tower and south aisle. In the north aisle is a blocked door of c1200, a similar date to the north arcade which has round piers with octagonal capitals. The south arcade is Perpendicular with octagonal piers and capitals. There is a clerestory (built in 1900-1) through nave and chancel.
The church has numerous late 18th and early 19th wall monuments above the arcades. As well as a wooden chancel screen there is a good late 18th century wrought-iron screen to the south chapel. Also a painted Royal Coat of Arms, dated 1685. The east window is by Kempe c1902.
The tower was largely re-built in 1712-13 but reusing some 14th century material. The ogee-headed piscina was restored in 1844. A major restoration of the church was undertaken by Charles Hodgson Fowler in 1900-1. Further restoration of the tower and bells took place in 1944.

I am seeing some strange and apparently incorrect behavior with the default Watch List alert in UDT.
I added the MAC address for three employees' smartphones to the UDT watch list. The Layer 2 and 3 polling jobs run every 60 minutes.
The alert seems to be very late in being sent and even triggers when the phone has been out of the building (and off the network) for quite a while. Another example... I arrived at work three hours ago, at which point my phone attached to the WiFi, but I have yet to get an alert saying my phone has been detected.
One employee left the office at approx. 9:45AM, and I got an alert at 10:06AM saying his phone was detected. The "Last Seen" data for the phone had a time value of 9:51AM. How can the phone have been detected if it had been off the network for 6 minutes? Why 15 minutes to get the alert? Does this all go back to the intervals for the UDT polling jobs? Could it be related to stale information from the switch being polled?
Is there any problem in making the polling shorter?

Recently In India, there have been many famous bands that have been giving live concerts in major cities. Last we had seen Ed Sheeran and Coldplay who had a really amazing time in India. Now the country is all set to entertain American Pop- rock band One Republic. After a lot of waiting for the Band, the news was set out that "One Republic to perform in India" would be the first time.
The band would be bringing in their outstanding live show to India for a great concert in April this year. This American rock band is all set to perform live on April 21, at the MMRDA grounds, which is in Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai.
The Fans are all set to groove to the famous songs of the band. These songs are a smash hit starting from Apologize to "Secrets", "Good Life", the highest grossing song on youtube "Counting Stars" are some of their many songs that are a complete hit.
Apart from India, the Grammy-nominated band is all set to embark on a complete two week Asia tour that comprises of countries like Singapore, South Korea, China during which they will also perform at the Grammy Festival alongside Pharrell Williams and James Bay in Beijing.
The Director of Opium Events and Production, Cyrus Gorimar had revealed that they have been in talks with the management for over six months, now we have realized that the band has a great fan following base in India.
When people from India heard the news that One Republic to perform in India, there have been many pre-registrations where there has been a really phenomenal response with almost registrations close to 10,000 in a span of just 24 hours and they are anticipating of a crowd that would be about 15,000 fans for the event. The event would be extraordinary because of its large crowd and the scale with almost a multi-crore spend and invested into the event, said Gorimar.
OneRepublic had said that they have always wanted to visit India for many years and they are beyond excited to get the chance of performing a full live concert and also getting to explore the country.
The band would be in town almost 3 days prior to the concert to explore the place and also mainly taste the amazing food that is very famous in India, said a report in Pinkvilla. The report also said that there would be a huge party bash which would be done in their honour mostly like a welcome party and guests like Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone would be a part of the event.


The Pied Piper of Hamelin, Robin Hood (Nottingham/England) and Wilhelm Tell from Switzerland created the Alliance "Legion of Legends" and meet on special occasions. From the 21st to 23rd of July 2017, the legends met in Switzerland by Lucerne at the Lucerne Lake and thus closed the circle. There, where the Swiss Confederation was sworn. But more important were the renewed communion and intercultural exchange. "Legion of Legends" will continue to grow, according to plans. Scotland's Braveheart, France's Joan of Arc and Spain's Don Quixote are also candidates. The idea: to organize regular meetings and, symbolically, to demonstrate a picture of the history of the important legends of the European continent.
The first day of the long weekend with tell and his friends was a good day: a warm welcome to the town Hall of Schwyz, an interesting tour through the Federal Archives, an eventful visit of the Schuler St. Jakobs-Winery in Schwyz with its cooperage and the impressive wine cellar full of wooden barrels. On the second day it was a ride with a steam-boat to Rütli, where the legends swore "their" Rütli oath and then continued the tour with many Fan encounters on the Lucerne Lake incl. Uri to Lucerne, where the Kanton Council president was waiting for them. In Lucene the "bear danced," photo shootings were spontaneously called at every corner. Gesslers end, the Hollow Way was the final goal. Sunday, the last day, it was off to the Goldau Zoo, followed by the Rigi Cog Railway on a surprising ride to the mountaintop. On the return they visited in Gersau the unique crossbow workshop of "Tell".
The participants: The Pied Piper of Hamelin starring Michael Boyer, from Nottingham Tim Pollard (Robin Hood), Robert Sim (Evil Sheriff) and councilwoman Jackie Morris and from Switzerland, Sepp Steiner (Wilhelm Tell), Christian Detterbeck (Vogt Gessler) were supported by the three Swiss guardsmen Marco Pögen, Armin Nideröst and Bruno Fanchini, as well as Hedwig Zangger, the assistant and partner of Sepp Steiner.
Arrival on Thursday wetting the dry throats during a briefing at the Brunner Hof-Bar then on to quarters at City-Hotel.
1st day start: The Swiss Guard has found itself in its traditional garb, from head to toe red with a white cross on the chest, with halberd, sword and a metal helmet. As a surprise from the hired Taxi Company, the "Legion of Legends" rode a white stretch limousine with the guard to the Schwyz wine shop Schuler, operated in the 11th Generation and 325 years old. A champagne reception with a snack and a kl. Tasting of wines was prepared and festive. In the connected Cooperage was demonstrated to the guests how a wooden barrel is formed. The legends immortalized themselves on the freshly branded cask and during the guided tour of the wine cellar there was a spontaneous, moody photoshooting in front of giant wooden barrels. The tell workshop is moving to the site of the wine shop, so that the survival of the medieval workshop is secure. Just like a good wine, Tell-Workshop-Director Sepp Steiner himself has aged well and rejoices over the continuance with the wine-shop Schuler.
In front of the Federal Letter Museum, the central document Archive of Switzerland, in which the federation certificate of 1291 is kept with the original oath, the legends were received "befittingly" on the gallery with two alphorns. In the city hall of Schwyz the Legionnaires were received by tourists, politicians and press representatives, including the municipal president, Xaver Schuler. In the boardroom, The Pied Piper, Robin Hood, Nottingham's Sheriff, Wilhelm Tell and Gessler, played their story to the exclusive audience. In addition, Nottingham's councilwoman Jackie Morris broke a lance for the cultural association and the sustainable expansion and consolidation of the Legion of Legions.
Afterwards, the excursion to Schwanau, a local venue in a castle complex and lookout tower with a view of the Rigi on a small island in the Lauerzer Lake, which can only be reached with a transfer boat. There, magnificent panoramic images were created in front of and behind the camera and the asparagus soup was delightfully served in a liquor glass and other refined dishes were praised by all as very tasty.
On the second day, the legends travelled with a 100 year old paddle-wheel steamer over the Lucerne Lake on a course to the Rütli and went uphill to the place where the oath was supposed to have taken place in the cloak of darkness 710 years ago. The guard called to formation and then "attention" followed the great moment: There the legends each gave a vow to their Union of the "Legion of Legends"in their national language . A little above the "Schworplatz" lies the Rütli Meadow. The meadow belongs to all children of Switzerland (no State property). There is also a guesthouse where a panoramic view of the "Mythen" can be seen. "Hornkühe" on the hillside and secluded places among many trees contribute to the perfect idyll. Almost all Swiss children go to the meadow in their schooling, just like almost all Lower Saxony children visit the Pied Piper in Hamelin. On the next leg, it was past the Tell plate. There, he is to have lept from the boat to the shore and thus escaped the Reeve Gessler and regained his freedom. On a chapel there on the shore, the event is depicted on frecsos.
In Lucerne, the delegation at the boat jetty was already expected by the Canton Council President, Vroni Thalmann-Bieri, and escorted her through the port city, which is bordered by the shore of many small shops and gastronomic venues. A winding river bridge and promenade with a pretty baroque old town directly on the Reuss and Lucerne Lake, explain why many Asian guests find their way into this town. The evening ended with the visit of the Council cellar with an attached brewery – where even the visit to the toilet becomes a pleasant experience – the way leads through a magnificent courtyard. The houses were built around 1500. The Legends survived the crowd diving and the relentless photo attacks were parlayed with dignity. On the return, halt was made at the "Hollow Alley" where Tell of the saga killed Gessler. Like the Rüti Meadow, this place has also been awarded to the children of Switzerland. The alley was returned to its original state, a modern layer had to be removed. To finance the action, children had to bring 20 Rappen to school. Result: a barbecue area and a play area as well as a roofed information room were created.
On the third day, the Legends travelled to Goldau Botanical Zoo, which was created on a landslide site. The site has been largely preserved and only animals indigenous in the region are preserved in the zoological garden.
The mountain avalanched 1806 and had buried an entire village with over 400 people.
Finally on foot, the path continued to the Rigi Valley station, where train attendant Hanspeter Gloor disguised as a historian of the traditional Rigi railway already waited. A richly decorated Book of the year 1600 under his arm (we keep ours chilled behind glass in museums) with wood carving, rivets and gold edges, he greeted the comers heartily. The cog railway was put into operation for the first time 1871. With an incline of 19.4 percent or 1940 promille, the train runs up to 1800 meters. In the direction of Vitznau, it is 25 percent incline. The Rigi-Bahners wanted to celebrate the trip with the Legion of Legends, and they succeeded: at the stop on the mountain station they hung a classic old saloon car on and a "Baroness," Carmen Brecht, hosted the guests. Pouring drinks at an angle is somewhat adventurous and not to be taken lightly, but nothing spilled from the special skewed glasses on board. The only drop of melancholy: The Rigi was fogged in that day.
Later Tell, alias Sepp Steiner, opened his Tell'schen Crossbow Workshop: In addition to the ancient construction of crossbows, which he produces in an old-fashioned method, he demonstrated informatively and entertaining a medieval hand-lathe, a hand-drill and a rope-machine that were able to be tried out. At the end, Tell had gifts for the guests: He passed out wooden cutting boards with a carved Rigi Mountain panorama and Swiss knives, as well as local salami and hand-woven towels with a Wilhelm Tell motif from a Gersau partner.
Vendelin Coray, tourism chief of the canton of Schwyz, praised Christian Detterbeck for the successful preparation of the Legends Weekend program and will use it as a basis for a Tell tour for the tourists. "This emotional experience of Switzerland can really only be experienced perfectly in central Switzerland", concluded Tell's assistant Hedwig Zangger.
The Legion of Legions separated at the Gersau Country Inn "Tübli" in peace and friendship. Reeve Gessler was so moved and reformed that he gladly paid the host with a full sack of "Free Gersau Gulden".
Previously: Rat-catcher actor Michael Boyer and Wilhelm Tell alias Sepp Steiner visited Nottingham/England for the first time 2015 to celebrate the "Robin Hood Day" with Robin Hood, portrayed by Tim Pollard. The next union was at "Hameln Pfeifer Day" (exodus of the Children of Hameln 26. June 1284) in the context of Grimm Jubilee celebrations (#sagenhaft – 200 years of German legends of the Brothers Grimm) in Hamelin 2016. The legend of Wilhelm Tell is also recorded by the Grimms in the 2nd volume, that appeared in 1818, so that the Swiss have another occasion to celebrate with their national hero in 2018.
In the Tell Legend, he had to shoot the fruit from the head of his son in the pure chicanery of Reeve Gessler in the year 1307 (according to Tschudi «Chronicon Helveticum»).
Wilhelm Tell starring Sepp Steiner is a passionate tinkerer and has constructed an apparatus in a wooden box that, at the right moment, bolts an arrow through an apple from within. He uses a 450-year-old crossbow with a hand-carved wooden arrow of lichen-like winds for the "Apple shot". The tall Swiss with Beard works voluntarily in the medieval workshop in Gersau near Lucerne on the Lucerne Lake. There he offers guided tours on the topic of Wilhelm Tell.
Der Rattenfänger von Hameln, Robin Hood (Nottingham/England) und Wilhelm Tell aus der Schweiz sind das Bündnis "Legion of Legends" eingegangen und treffen sich zu besonderen Anlässen. Vom 21. – 23. Juli 2017 trafen die Legenden sich in der Schweiz bei Luzern am Vierwaldstätter See und damit schloss sich der Kreis. Dort wurde der Rütlischwur, zum 710. Mal begangen, der den Dreh- und Angelpunkt der Tell`schen Sage markiert und den berühmten "Apfelschuss" hervorgerufen hat. Doch vordergründiger waren die erneute Gemeinschaft und der interkulturelle Austausch. "Legion of Legends" soll weiter wachsen, so der Wunsch. Schottlands Braveheart, Frankreichs Jeanne D'Arc und Spaniens Don Quixote sind dabei u.v.a. Kandidaten. Die Idee: regelmäßige Treffen zu organisieren und dabei symbolisch ein Bild der Historie der starken Legenden des europäischen Kontinents zu demonstrieren.
Das lange Wochenende mit Tell und seinen Freunden war eine bereichernde Zeit: ein herzliches Willkommen im Rathaus Schwyz, ein interessanter Rundgang durchs Bundesbriefarchiv und ein erlebnisreicher Besuch der Schuler St. Jakobs-Kellerei in Schwyz mit Besichtigung ihrer Fass-Küferei und dem eindrucksvollen Weinkeller. Am zweiten Tag ging es auf Fahrt mit einem Rad-Dampfschiff nach Rütli, die Legenden leisteten dort "ihren" Rütli-Schwur und setzten danach die Rundfahrt mit vielen Fanbegegnungen auf dem Vierwaldstätter See inkl. Urnersee nach Luzern fort, wo schon die Kanton Ratspräsidentin auf sie wartete. In Luzern tobte der Bär und Foto-Shooting war an jeder Ecke angesagt. Außerdem wurde die berühmte "Hohle Gasse" besucht. Sonntag, den letzten Tag, ging es in den Goldauer Tierpark und im Anschluss mit der Rigi-Zahnradbahn auf eine überraschende Fahrt. Auf dem Rückweg besuchten sie in Gersau die einzigartige Armbrust-Werkstatt des "Tell".
Am Wochenend-Treffen nahmen teil: Aus Hameln Rattenfänger-Darsteller Michael Boyer, aus Nottingham Tim Pollard (Robin Hood), Robert Sim (böser Sheriff) und Ratsfrau Jackie Morris und aus der Schweiz dabei waren Sepp Steiner (Wilhelm Tell), Christian Detterbeck (Landvogt Geßler) unterstützt von den drei Schweizer Gardisten Marco Pögen, Armin Nideröst und Bruno Fanchini sowie Hedwig Zangger, die Assistentin und Lebensgefährtin von Sepp Steiner.
Anreise Donnerstag Brunnen mit Willkommens- Apero im Brunner Hof-Bar und Lagebesprechung im Quartier, im City-Hotel.
Erster Tag Start: Die Schweizer Garde hat sich in Ihrer traditionellen Kluft eingefunden, von Kopf bis Fuß rot mit einem weißen Kreuz auf der Brust, mit Hellebarde, Schwert und einem metallenem Helm. Als Überraschung von dem geordertem Taxi-Unternehmen wurden die "Legion of Legends" in einer weißen Stretch-Limousine samt Garde vom Hotel zur Schwyzer Weinhandlung Schuler gefahren. Diese wird in 11. Generation geführt und ist mittlerweile 325 Jahre alt. Ein Sekt-Empfang mit anschließendem Snack und einer kl. Kostprobe von Weinen war vorbereitet und festlich durchgeführt worden. In der angeschlossenen Küferei wurde den Gästen demonstriert, wie ein Holzfass entsteht. Die Legenden verewigten sich auf dem frisch gebrandeten Fass und bei der Besichtigung des Weinkellers gab es spontan im schummerigen Licht, vor Riesen-Holzfässern ein Fotoshooting. Die Tell-Werkstatt siedelt gerade auf das Gelände der Weinhandlung um. Hintergrund ist, dass der Fortbestand der mittelalterlichen Werkstatt gesichert werden soll. Denn wie ein guter Wein ist mittlerweile Tell-Werkstatt-Leiter Sepp Steiner selbst in besten Jahren und freut sich über den Fortbestand durch die Weinhandlung Schuler.
Vor dem Bundesbrief-Museum, das zentrale Dokumentenarchiv, in dem der Bundesbrief von 1291 mit dem Original-Rütlischwur aufbewahrt wird, wurden die Legenden "standesgemäß" auf der Treppen-Empore von zwei Alphorn-Bläsern empfangen. Im Rathaus von Schwyz wurden die Legionärs von Regierungsrat Andreas Barraud und André Rüegsegger, von Touristikern sowie Pressevertretern empfangen, auch der Gemeinde-Präsident, Xaver Schuler, war anwesend. Im Festsaal spielten anschließend der Rattenfänger, Robin Hood, Nottinghams Sheriff, Wilhelm Tell und Geßler dem ausgewähltem Publikum ihre Geschichte vor. Im Weiteren brach Nottinghams Ratsfrau Jackie Morris eine Lanze für die kulturelle Vereinigung sowie für die nachhaltige Erweiterung und Festigung der "Legion of Legions".
Zum Ausklang des ersten Tages folgte die Fahrt nach Schwanau, einem Ausflugslokal in einer Burganlage und Aussichtsturm mit Blick auf den Rigi auf einer kleinen Insel im Lauerzer See, welches nur mit einem Transfer-Boot erreicht werden kann. Dort entstanden herrliche Panoramabilder vor und hinter der Kamera – und die Spargelsuppe, entzückend in einem Schnapsglas serviert, samt weiterer raffinierter Gerichte wurden von allen als sehr wohlschmeckend gelobt.
Am zweiten Tag fuhren die Legenden mit einem über 100 Jahre alten Raddampfer über den Vierwaldstätter See mit Kurs zum Rütli und gingen bergan zu dem Platz, wo der Rütlischwur vor 710 Jahren im Mantel der Dunkelheit stattgefunden haben soll. Die Garde rief zur Formation auf und dann "Attention" folgte der große Moment: dort leisteten die Legenden nun jeweils in ihrer Landessprache den Schwur auf die Vereinigung der "Legion of Legends". Etwas oberhalb des Platzes liegt die Rütli-Wiese. Die Wiese gehört allen Kindern der Schweiz (kein Staats-Eigentum). Dort ist auch ein Gasthof mit Panoramablick auf die "Mythen" zu finden. Hornkühe am Hang und lauschige Plätze unter vielen Bäumen tragen hier zu der perfekten Idylle bei. Nahezu alle Schweizer Kinder fahren in ihrem Schulleben einmal mit der Klasse zu der Wiese, ähnlich wie nahezu alle niedersächsischen Kinder mal den Rattenfänger in Hameln besuchen. Auf der Weiterfahrt ging es auch an der Tell-Platte vorbei. Dort soll er der Sage nach vom Boot auf das Ufer gesprungen sein und dadurch dem Landvogt Geßler entgangen und seine Freiheit wieder erlangt haben. An einer Kapelle am Ufer wird die Begebenheit auf Bildern dargestellt.
In Luzern wurde die Delegation am Bootsanleger schon von der Kanton-Ratspräsidentin, Vroni Thalmann-Bieri, erwartet und ging mit Ihnen durch die Hafen-City, die am Uferrand gesäumt ist von vielen kleinen Geschäften und gastronomischen Einrichtungen. Eine verwinkelte Flussbrücke und Promenade mit hübscher barocker Altstadt direkt an der Reuss und dem Vierwaldstätter See, erklären warum viele asiatische Gäste den Weg in dieses Städtchen finden. Der Abend endete mit dem Besuch des Ratskellers mit angeschlossener Brauerei – wo sogar der Gang zur Toilette zum angenehmen Erlebnis wird – der Weg führt durch einen prachtvollen Hinterhof. Die Häuser sind um 1500 entstanden. Das Bad in der Menge genossen die Legenden sichtlich und allen Foto-Attacken hielten sie würdevoll Stand. Auf der Rücktour wurde halt an der "Hohlen Gasse" gemacht, wo der Tell der Sage nach den Geßler tötete. Wie die Rütli-Wiese ist auch dieser Ort den Kindern der Schweiz zugesprochen worden. Die Gasse wurde wieder in ihren Ursprung versetzt, dazu musste eine moderne Schicht abgetragen werden – zur Finanzierung der Maßnahme mussten vor Zeiten dafür Kinder 20 Gulden in die Schule mitbringen. Schließlich wurden ein Grillplatz und eine Spielwiese sowie ein überdachter Informationsraum angelegt.
Am dritten Tag waren die Legenden in Goldau in einem Tierpark unterwegs, der in einem Bergsturz-Gelände angelegt wurde. Das Gelände wurde weitestgehend so belassen und ausschließlich in der Region lebende Tiere werden im Tiergarten gehegt. Der Berg war 1806 abgegangen und hatte damals ein ganzes Dorf mit über 400 Menschen unter sich begraben.
Es ging zu Fuß weiter zur Rigi-Talstation wo schon Zugbegleiter Hanspeter Gloor verkleidet als Geschichtsschreiber der traditionellen Rigi-Bahn wartete. Ein reich verziertes Schreibbuch des Jahres 1600 unter dem Arm (bei uns liegt so etwas gekühlt hinter Glas) mit Holzschnitzerei, Nieten und Goldrändern, begrüßte er die Ankömmlinge aufs Herzlichste. Die Zahnradbahn wurde das erste Mal 1871 in Betrieb genommen. Mit einer Steigung von 19,4 Prozent oder 1940 Promille fährt die Bahn auf 1800 Meter hinauf. Richtung Viznau sind es streckenweise 25 Prozent. Die Rigi-Bahner wollten die Fahrt mit den Legion of Legends zelebrieren und das gelang Ihnen: Bei dem Halt auf der Bergstation hingen sie einen klassischen alten Salonwagen an und eine "Baroness", Carmen Brecht, bewirtete die Gäste. Wenn in der Schieflage auch das Einschenken der Getränke etwas abenteuerlich war, so schwappte aus den speziellen schiefen Gläsern nichts über. Einziger Wehmutstropfen: Der Rigi hing an diesem Tag im Nebel.
Später bat noch Tell, alias Sepp Steiner, rein in seine gute Stube, der Tellschen Armbrust-Werkstatt: Neben dem altertümlichen Bau von Armbrüsten, die von ihm in altmodischer Methode hergestellt werden, demonstrierte er Informativ und unterhaltsam eine Hand-Drechselbank, einen Hand-Bohrer und eine Seil–Maschine aus der Zeit des Mittelalters. Zum Abschluss hatte Tell Geschenke für die Gäste: Er überreichte Schneidebretter aus Holz mit ausgeschnittenem Rigi-Panorama samt Schweizer Messer zudem lokale Salami und von einem Gersauer Partner handgewebte Handtücher mit eingewebten Wilhelm-Tell-Motiv.
Vendelin Coray, Tourismuschef vom Kanton Schwyz, lobte Christian Detterbeck für die gelungene Ausarbeitung des Programms des Legenden-Wochenendes und wird es als Grundlage für eine Tell-Tour weiter verwenden. "Dieses emotionale Erleben der Schweiz kann wirklich nur perfekt in der zentralen Schweiz erlebt werden", so abschließend Tells Assistentin Hedwig Zangger. Die Legion of Legions trennten sich im Gersauer Landgasthaus "Tübli" in aller Freundschaft und gerne zahlte der "geläuterte" Landvogt Geßler die Zeche mit einem vollen Sack freier Gersauer Gulden.
Rattenfänger-Darsteller Michael Boyer und Wilhelm Tell alias Sepp Steiner waren erstmalig 2015 nach Nottingham/England gereist, um mit Robin Hood, dargestellt von Tim Pollard, den "Robin Hood Day" zu feiern. Dann kam es am "Hamelner Pfeifer Tag" (Auszug der Kinder zu Hameln 26. 6.1284) im Rahmen von Grimm-Jubiläums-Feierlichkeiten (#Sagenhaft 200 Jahre Deutsche Sagen der Brüder Grimm) 2016 in Hameln zum erneuten "meet and greet" der weltbekannten Größen. Auch die Legende von Wilhelm Tell ist von den Grimms erfasst im 2. Band, der 1818 erschien, so dass die Schweizer mit ihrem Nationalheld 2018 einen weiteren Anlass zum Feiern haben.
In der Tell-Sage ist es sein Sohn, dem er die Frucht vom Kopfe schießen musste – aus reiner Schikane des Landgrafen Geßlers im Jahre 1307 (Rütlischwur laut Tschudis «Chronicon Helveticum» ).
Wilhelm Tell Darsteller Sepp Steiner ist passionierter Tüftler und hat eine Apparatur in einer Holz-Box konstruiert, die im richtigen Moment von innen einen Pfeil durch einen Apfel jagt. Er nutzt für den "Apfelschuss" eine 450-Jahre alte Armbrust mit einem handgeschnitzten Holzpfeil der flechtenartigen Windungen hat. Der hochgewachsene Schweizer mit Rauschebart arbeitet ehrenamtlich in der mittelalterlichen Werkstatt in Gersau bei Luzern am Vierwaldstätter See. Dort bietet er auch Gästeführungen zum Thema Wilhelm Tell an.

Flanking downtown Washington, D.C. are the two very different DC neighborhoods of Dupont Circle and Chinatown, which each offer great residential living, funky shopping, a vibrant nightlife scene, and more.
Centered in the heart of the city is Dupont Circle, one of the most famous, affluent, and prominent districts within D.C. Its deep rooted art culture, funky shops, and trendy bars and restaurants make Dupont Circle one of the most sought after in the D.C. area. In a 2009 poll by NBC Washington.com, it even won out over Georgetown as the best place to live in the District.
The neighborhood is a preferred habitat for the wealthy diplomatic set, but it also prides itself on its culture diversity and welcomes alternative lifestyles. If money were no object, many young adults moving to DC would always choose to live in Dupont Circle. However, real estate and rental prices here are among the highest in the city.
Dupont Circle actually is a circle with a lush green park that is a gathering place, with plenty of benches for socializing. People come to eat lunch, stroll, play chess, people watch, or enjoy the tranquility. There are also 22 Art on Call boxes in the area showcasing the art and history of this vibrant area that represent the work of local artists that pedestrians can enjoy. The tall, beautiful Dupont Memorial Fountain marks the center of Dupont Circle's thriving commercial district of retail stores, office buildings, cafes, restaurants, and cultural attractions surround the park.
A bit southeast of the downtown, Chinatown in Washington, D.C. is a small, historic neighborhood nestled in along H and I Streets between 5th and 8th Streets. Originally a German area, Chinese immigrants started to populate the area in the 1930s when they were displaced from their original settlement on Pennsylvania Avenue with the building of the Federal Triangle government complex. The new residents added decorative metal latticework and Chinese signage, including the glittering gold and tiled gate, the Friendship Arch, Chinatown's most visible and beautiful landmark and the gateway to the neighborhood.
D.C.'s 4-block Chinatown is smaller than the Chinatown districts in New York or San Francisco, but it is still an authentic, colorful and charming ethnic community that was renovated several years ago. What people come to Chinatown for is still there. You can still shop for teas and herbs at grocery stores and enjoy a steaming bowl of shrimp dumpling soup at Full Kee or watch the chef making noodles in the window of Chinatown Express. Each winter, the Chinese New Year is still celebrated here in a dazzling fashion complete with a colorful parade featuring drummers, musicians, lion and dragon dancers and thousands of popping firecrackers. The 20 or more Asian restaurant coexist with national chains, which hang their signs out front in Chinese.
However, Chinatown is now a bustling scene for nightlife, shopping and entertainment and up-an-coming place to live and work. There are new and renovated condos in the area, including the Clara Barton, the Lafayette, and Ventana, plus a new mixed-use development Gallery Place with 192 condos and 250,000 square feet of restaurants, bars, and retail. Chinatown is home to 700 Six, a 12 LEED certified green office building.
Dupont Circle and Chinatown rank as two of D.C.'s most interesting neighborhoods.

Just as the Father was in Jesus, Jesus says we are in him. We need to wake up to the understanding that by Him all things are possible! In God's Word it says He is the same as He has been for eternity. The same power and Authority that He carried in His ministry has been passed on through generation to generation by His Spirit. "I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be ONE as we are ONE…" God is calling for you today to become ONE with him. I was deep in Prayer and the Lord spoke to my about this generation. He said the problem isn't Abortions, Adultery, Debauchery, Masturbation, Lust, Gluttony, sloth, Pride or even Envy; it's Love and the Faith to Believe! People are dying and it is because they truly don't feel or know the true Love of the Lord. We are living in a time where people can married and then walk away from a marriage with no fear or consequence. People will go to Church and fall in Love with a message on Sunday and be ONE with the Lord, then divorce him on Monday. Instead of addressing this issue, we try and fight the fruits, when we need to be destroying these things at the root.
God wants more than the next great crusade. God wants more than the next great youth conference. He wants a movement of Praise, Prayer and Fasting from a generation that He has called to Be ONE with Him! I declared today that you stop living a life as a Human. Break away from the flesh that is holding you back from becoming ONE with the Father. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." I pray you get a vision on a True Love that is never changing.

What is The Counted?
The Counted is a project by the Guardian – and you – working to count the number of people killed by police and other law enforcement agencies in the United States throughout 2015, to monitor their demographics and to tell the stories of how they died.
The database will combine Guardian reporting with verified crowdsourced information to build a more comprehensive record of such fatalities. The Counted is the most thorough public accounting for deadly use of force in the US, but it will operate as an imperfect work in progress – and will be updated by Guardian reporters and interactive journalists as frequently and as promptly as possible.

In this section, we practice adding USDT probes to an application. For background information and other details, see Adding Probes to an Application in the Oracle Linux Dynamic Tracing Guide.
To get started, you will need to create a .d file, as described in Defining Providers and Probes in the Oracle Linux Dynamic Tracing Guide.
This .d file is not a script that is run in the same way that is shown in previous examples in this tutorial, but is rather the .d source file that you use when compiling and linking your application. To avoid any confusion, use a different naming convention for this file than you use for scripts.
After creating the .d file, you then need to create the required probe points to use in the following examples. This information is added to the primain.c source file. The probe points that are used in this practice are those listed in the following table. These probes represent a sequence of operations and are used after the user entry is completed and checked.


Do what you can to rub out foot pain.
You walk them, you put them up, you pick lint from between their toes. But sometimes your feet seem downright ungrateful. Don't take foot pain personally-just do what you can to rub it out.
Symptom: A stabbing pain felt in the heel when taking your first step in the morning or after sitting a long time.
Cause: The flat band of ligament that runs from the heel to the ball of your foot is inflamed.
For a soothing massage, try the golf-ball roll: sit in a chair, put your foot on top of a golf ball and roll it forward and backward under the arch of your foot for two minutes for a soothing massage.
Stand about six inches from a wall, then place the toes of your right foot against the wall with your heel on the ground. Now lean into the wall, emphasizing the stretch on the bottom of your foot. Hold the stretch for 60 seconds. Repeat with the left foot.
Symptom: Pain under the ball of the foot; may feel as if there's a sharp stone in your shoe.
Cause: Irritation of the metatarsals, the bones that press on the ball of your foot when you walk. Can be caused by a lowering of one of the bones, or by pinched nerves, arthritis, stress fractures or flattening feet.
1. Spread a small towel on the floor. Using only your toes, grasp the nearer end of the towel and curl it under your foot. Keep gathering the towel this way until you reach the other end. Repeat five times. Place a weight on the end of the towel to make it more challenging.
2. Place 20 marbles on the floor. Pick them up one at a time with your toes and place them in a bowl.
Cause: Muscle cramps are the result of overuse of the muscle in question, though the cramp doesn't always happen while the muscle is in action.
Remedies: If your toes are curled under your foot: Sit on the floor and cross your legs so the foot with the cramp rests on the opposite knee. Grab your foot with your fingers over your toes and your thumb on the ball of your foot. With your thumb, gently rub your foot from the ball to the toes. Then reach under your toes with your fingers and gently pull them back toward your ankle.
If your toes are straight: cross your legs and put your thumb under the toes as described above. Then use your fingers to gently bend the toes downward into a curled position.
To prevent muscle cramps, stretch the cramp-prone muscles regularly (especially before bed if you suffer from nighttime cramps), drink plenty of water, drink sports drinks when exercising for long periods, eat potassium-rich foods (eg. Banannas, potatoes, dried apricots) and don't wear uncomfortably tight clothing. If started taking medication within two months of the first cramp, talk to your doctor to see if your medicine is cramping your style.
And as long as we're talking tootsies, take a walk across some sand or through a puddle of water and check out your bare footprints. They could be clues.
Symptom: Your footprint looks like an oblong pancake with toes.
Cause: This is called overpronation - you've got flat feet, fella. This means your foot rolls too much towards the inside, which can lead to arch strain and pain on the inside of the knee.
Remedies: Use molded-leather arch supports. Shop for athletic shoes with control features designed to halt rolling-in of the feet. If the problem is too extreme for these remedies, see a foot specialist.
Symptom: Your footprint shows little or no connection between the front of your foot and your heel.
Cause: Underpronation - your arches are so high you could rent your feet to McDonald's. This condition means a lot of your weight lands on the outside edge of your foot, making you susceptible to ankle sprains and stress fractures.
Remedies: At the sneaker store, ask for stability athletic shoes, which have extra cushioning to correct this problem. High-top athletic shoes that cover the foot and ankle snugly may help prevent ankle sprains, or at least minimize the damage from twists.
Symptom: Your footprints are twice as big as a normal humans and you have a prehensile big toe.
Cause: You are a Sasquatch.
Remedies: Keep to wooded, unpopulated areas. Avoid the news media. Be sure any pictures taken of you are blurry.

Insulinbantning (även diabulimi) är en ätstörning som främst drabbar personer med typ 1-diabetes. Personen ifråga slutar självmant att helt eller delvis ta sitt insulin för att gå ner i vikt. En person med diabulimi har oftast någon form av underliggande anorexia eller liknande ätstörning. Bieffekter av att inte ta sitt insulin kan vara allvarliga som hjärtfel, blindhet och död.

Underlåtenhet att tillföra insulin sätter kroppen i ett svälttillstånd vid vilken kroppen bryter ner muskler och fett till ketonkroppar, samtidigt som kroppen är oförmögen att ta vara på de kolhydrater som blivit konsumerade. Dessa utsöndras då via urinen istället för att användas som energikälla eller för att lagras som fett. Detta leder vanligtvis till stor viktförlust men sätter också patienten i risk för ett livshotande tillstånd vid namn ketoacidos, vid vilken utsöndringen av ketonkroppar är såpass okontrollerad att blodets pH-värde sjunker.

2018 will mark the fifth year of the Nigerian refugee crisis with 218,000 Nigerian refugees expected to be living in and outside of camps with host communities in Cameroon, Chad and Niger. The overall Nigerian refugee population size has fluctuated in 2017, with new arrivals, departures to Nigeria and pendular movements between countries of asylum and Nigeria, owing to the prevailing insecurity and sub-standard living conditions in the country of origin.
In 2018, RRRP partners will focus on interventions aimed at implementing durable solutions, while continuing to support and ensure access to asylum and protection for persons fleeing the conflict. The Tripartite Agreement signed on 2 March 2017 between Nigeria, Cameroon and UNHCR on voluntary repatriation constitutes a key step in that direction, and provides the framework for the safe, dignified and voluntary return and sustainable reintegration of Nigerian refugees living in Cameroon once conditions are conducive in areas of origin. Given that the security situation remains precarious and that access to basic services is severely limited in many areas of Borno State, where most Nigerian refugees come from, these parts of Nigeria are not yet conducive to return. Therefore, RRRP partners will continue providing humanitarian assistance throughout 2018 and in parallel, will implement interventions that support the local integration of those refugees who want to stay.


In 2008, a few students at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business had been attending conference and events and noticed a gap. Not enough women were featured as speakers and there was nothing addressing the unique needs and interests of young women in the workplace.
An idea began to develop and very quickly grew into the vision of a network and conference for young women in business. In March 2008, the first YWiB Beyond Pink Leadership Conference was launched, highlighting inspirational speakers, workshops and events all featuring women.
YWiB continues spreading this same aspiration today. With each year we grow, we are proud to support even more young women to achieve success on their own terms.
