Malawi Map
A map of Malawi (Republic of Malawi) that shows major cities, towns, lakes, rivers, and roads. Satellite imagery and an elevation feature Lake Malawi and the indent of the Great Rift Valley.
You are free to use our reference map of Malawi for educational and commercial uses. Attribution is required. How to attribute?
Malawi Political Map
Malawi is a landlocked country located in Southeast Africa. It borders 3 other countries including Zambia to the west, Tanzania to the north, and Mozambique to the east. One of its most prominent features is the African Great Lake of Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa in Tanzania and Lago Niassa in Mozambique). Also, it's one of the deepest lakes in the world today. Lilongwe is the capital and largest city of Malawi. Other major cities are Blantyre, Mzuzu, and Zomba. Its nickname is translated to "The Warm Heart of Africa" because of its reputation for being friendly.
Malawi Satellite Map
Malawi extends to 118,484 square kilometers in size, which makes it larger than Eritrea, Benin, or Liberia. It spans a large distance from north to south. Specifically, it lies at about 9°S to 17°S latitude below the equator. Because of its location, Malawi's climate is generally tropical. Its largest lake is Lake Malawi (9th largest in the world by surface area), which also forms a border between Mozambique and Tanzania. Then, Lake Malawi drains into the Zambezi River through the Shire River. Lake Malawi National Park is a UNESCO Heritage Site for the purpose of protecting fish and aquatic habitats.
Malawi Elevation Map
The Great Rift Valley defines the topography forming a massive depression from north to south of Malawi. Lake Malawi lies in the valley formed by the opening of the East African Rift. Otherwise, one of the higher elevation regions is the Nyika Plateau, located to the north and west of Lake Malawi. At 3,002 m (9,849 ft) high, Mount Mulanje is the highest peak in Malawi. Not only is this granite inselberg the tallest in south-central Africa, but it's also one of the latest in the world.

Typosquatting consists of registering Internet domain names that closely resemble legitimate, reputable, and well-known ones (e.g., Farebook instead of Facebook). This cyber-attack aims to distribute malware or to phish the victims users (i.e., stealing their credentials) by mimicking the aspect of the legitimate webpage of the targeted organisation.
The majority of the detection approaches proposed so far generate possible typo-variants of a legitimate domain, creating thus blacklists which can be used to prevent users from accessing typo-squatted domains.
Only few studies have addressed the problem of Typosquatting detection by leveraging a passive Domain Name System (DNS) traffic analysis. In this work, we follow this approach, and additionally exploit machine learning to learn a similarity measure between domain names capable of detecting typo-squatted ones from the analyzed DNS traffic.
We validate our approach on a large-scale dataset consisting of 4 months of traffic collected from a major Italian Internet Service Provider.

Hamza Choudhury
Follow Choudhury on social
Midfielder Hamza Choudhury is a popular figure from the Belvoir Drive Academy.
A tough-tackling talent in the centre of midfield, Hamza Choudhury often acts as a defensive guard in front of the back line.
His performances for the Club's Academy side in 2015/16 saw him secure a loan move to Sky Bet League 1 outfit Burton Albion, helping them gain promotion to the Championship.
Choudhury captained the 10-man squad who travelled to Hong Kong for the Citi Soccer Sevens, lifting the trophy in Happy Valley in May 2017.
After pre-season, Choudhury was named as the Development Squad's new captain following the departure of Elliott Moore to OH Leuven on loan.
He made his senior Foxes debut against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup in September 2017 before enjoying a Premier League bow during a 2-1 success over Tottenham Hotspur in November.
The following season, Hamza established himself in the First Team, playing a key part in back-to-back victories against Chelsea and Manchester City over the festive period.
In November, meanwhile, Choudhury signed a new contract with the Football Club to 2022 and later represented England at the UEFA U21 European Championship in Italy.

Iraq pullout plan blocked
Noam N. LeveyThe Baltimore Sun
WASHINGTON -- For the seventh time this year, Senate Republicans blocked a measure yesterday to change U.S. policy in Iraq, beating back the latest Democratic proposal to set a timeline for withdrawing troops.
Democrats fell eight votes short of the 60 votes demanded by Republican leaders for an amendment to the defense authorization bill being debated in the Senate.
Four Republican lawmakers joined Democrats, ending a round-the-clock session orchestrated by Democratic leaders Tuesday night to highlight what they alleged was Republican obstructionism.
The 52-47 vote to cut off debate on the proposal prompted more angry accusations from Senate Democrats, who said their Republican colleagues were resisting the will of the American people, who want to bring the troops home.
"End this filibuster," Majority Leader Harry Reid urged his Republican colleagues. "Stop blocking a vote on this crucial war-ending amendment. ... We can make this the first day of ending the war."
Reid, a Nevada Democrat, pulled the defense authorization bill from the Senate floor after the vote, enraging Republicans.
The maneuver means that debate on the $649 billion measure - and other amendments calling for a change in Iraq - is on hold. Reid would not say when he would reintroduce the legislation.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky ridiculed the Democratic effort as Hollywood theatrics. A "political stunt," said Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican. "Petty kindergarten games."
The latest vote underscored the inability of Democratic lawmakers to persuade Republicans to join their legislative campaign to pressure President Bush to begin winding down U.S. military involvement in Iraq.
The four Republican votes - by Nebraska's Chuck Hagel, Oregon's Gordon H. Smith and Maine's Olympia J. Snowe and Susan M. Collins - were two more than Democrats mustered three months ago.
In April, the Senate passed a war-spending bill, 51-47, that set a nearly identical timeline for withdrawing U.S. troops. Bush vetoed the measure.
Several prominent Senate Republicans, including former Armed Services Committee Chairman John W. Warner of Virginia and former Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, proposed a measure mandating that Bush develop a plan to redeploy forces at the beginning of next year.
Other Republicans lined up behind a plan to implement the general recommendations of the Iraq Study Group.
But Reid and other senior Democrats repeatedly have criticized the measures as too weak. And they stuck with their proposal to set dates for withdrawing U.S. forces, arguing that such legislation is the only way to force Bush to change his strategy.
The latest proposal - by Democrats Carl Levin of Michigan, who is the Armed Services Committee chairman, and Jack Reed of Rhode Island - would require a withdrawal to start within 120 days. It would require that all troops be out by April 30, except those engaged in limited missions such as protecting U.S. personnel, training Iraqis and targeting terrorist networks.
Levin, as he has for months, argued yesterday that such a timeline was the only way to pressure the Iraqi government to take steps to reduce sectarian violence.
Republican lawmakers, echoing the warnings Bush has been delivering all year, countered that such a withdrawal would only deepen the violence in Iraq and strengthen the hand of al-Qaida.

but that has not been the intention here.
Situated on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Newhailes was built in the late 17th century, and enlarged in the early 18th to become one of the most important houses of the Scottish Enlightenment. Owned from the early 18th century by the Dalrymple family, it has remained largely unaltered, both inside and out, since the late-19th century.
And that is the way its new owners, the National Trust for Scotland, want it to stay.
One might have expected the Trust to repair the fabric and return the house to its full 18th-century glory. But this is that rare thing - a conservation project done by the book, or in this case the international conservation charters.
If it is hard to tell what period Newhailes is being restored to, because it is not playing that game, it is harder still to know what to make of a conservation project which has so far cost £4.5 million and yet still leaves work to be done on the garden buildings and grounds. On the face of it, it is hard to see where the money has gone, as the house and grounds still look in such a sorry state, or as the Trust prefers to call it, 'mellow'.
Perhaps that is the tactic - your heart goes out to this sad, yet still grand, house which has clearly seen better days. As its first property manager, Piers de Salis, says: 'People will come here and wonder where on earth we managed to spend all that money.
Key elements in the work of Edinburghbased LDN Architects (previously Law & Dunbar-Nasmith) have been security, fire suppression and environmental controls.
Given the importance of the fabric, when it came to the careful upgrading of services, only floorboards that had previously been lifted were allowed to be lifted again.
Deliberately presenting the house in such a fashion is obviously a risky strategy. But make no mistake, whether the public likes it or not, this is an exemplary conservation project, and one that reduces the gap between theory and practice to an almost imperceptible chink. But that, to some in the conservation fraternity, is rather too close.
It is a chink made all the harder to detect because the Trust's conservation philosophy at Newhailes even extends to the layers of dirt, and signs of wear, left on this Marie Celeste of a building. Free from the creative tension that is born out of the gap between theory and practice, Newhailes has been untouched by the ego of today and left for future generations essentially as it was.
Whitehill, as it was originally called, was designed in 1686 as a modest seven-bay, neoPalladian villa by James Smith for himself. By 1702 the architect had become bankrupt, and the house was then owned briefly by Lord Bellenden before being acquired by Sir David Dalrymple in 1707. It remained in his family's hands for almost three centuries, and was transformed by them into the house we see today. Seven bays became 15, the main stair was extended, and the intimacy of Smith's original rooms was complemented by larger, grander spaces.
Chief among these new spaces was the large double-height library completed in 1720.Allegedly described by no less a person than Dr Johnson as 'the most learned room in Europe', it was unique in Scotland and had few serious rivals outside.
The library is currently empty of its books, and has been since 1976, when the collection was given to the National Library of Scotland in lieu of tax. It has always been hoped that these books would return, but the National Library of Scotland demands strict assurances from the Trust concerning their future security. Following LDN's interventions, a fire suppression system, environmental controls and security measures are in place to facilitate future discussions with the library.
We still do not know who designed the extensions built in the early 18th century. The mason and wright for the library were James Crighton and John Young respectively, who may well have supplied the design, though some suggest it is the work of William Adam (the father of Robert and James), while others see the hand of another great Scottish architect, James Gibbs. Whoever was responsible, the most radical transformation during Sir David's time was to balance the library wing with a new wing to the west, and to reorientate the entire house to the south.
Originally Smith's villa had been entered from the north, where it enjoyed uninterrupted views across parkland out to the sea.
Sir David reversed the orientation and created a new entrance hall in Smith's villa, now reached via the enclosed garden front.
it is almost a Venturi-like aesthetic of complexity and contradiction, as visitors move from large to small and back again. The 18th-century painted and gilded surfaces encourage a hushed respect. Given the fairy tale analogy that the Trust is so fond of invoking at Newhailes, you might wonder if the briar roses will shrink back at any moment to reveal Sleeping Beauty.
upgrade environmental, plumbing, lighting, electrical, fire, and security systems in the house; provide visitor reception, presentation, and tour facilities; and finally, provide essential support and management accommodation for Trust staff.
The practice has a history of involvement in the house, dating from the 1970s when it refurbished the entrance hall - which ironically now seems garish compared to the other rooms, but must be seen as part of the property's history. The Trust appreciated that Newhailes' importance lay not only in its history and architecture but in its mellow condition, its silent testimony to the fortunes of the family.
'An all-pervasive mellowness' is how the Trust categorises it, and this is the impression that it has tried to maintain - the sense of a house which has settled into its character over 300 years. This approach has been carried out selectively before: the interiors at Brodsworth Hall in Yorkshire by English Heritage, for instance, and most notably the treatment of Chastleton in Oxfordshire by the National Trust, where, once again, a single family had maintained the original building over many generations.
Chastleton, then, is Newhailes' closest relative. It makes you wonder if there is some kind of Campaign for Real Conservation, begun by the National Trusts north and south of the border, to distance themselves from the statefunded urge towards restoration, as seen at the Great Hall of Stirling Castle (AJ 8.6.00) and the King's Chambers at Edinburgh.
Having determined that the significance of the building lay in its mellowness, the resulting philosophy of repair ensured that what should be done was 'as much as necessary but as little as possible' - that the only interventions which were justifiable were those which were required for health and safety or visitor and staff accommodation.
What was necessary were repairs to remedy structural defects (the 18th-century extensions had turned non-load bearing walls above the dining room into load-bearing ones, and primary beams were bending under pressure from floor joists); prevent water ingress (there was a serious problem in the abandoned basement kitchen); and arrest any further decay of the fabric (areas of external harling were loose and had been patched up with cement based mortars). Structural engineer Elliot and Co felt that some of the work in the roof must have been inspired by Heath Robinson.
Where this minimal philosophy has demanded the greatest amount of work has been in the 18th-century entrance front. Sir David Dalrymple created the new entrance with a porch sheltering the basement door, which in turn supported a double stair to the new principal door by opening up the central window.
Originally designed with numerous water traps in it, the ironwork was in a poor state of repair and potentially dangerous.
Although the local authority was prepared to consider a relaxation of normal building regulations in support of the Trust's vision, it was not prepared to compromise on safety where the public were concerned. However, as Newhailes will remain a house for the purpose of Use Classes, and visitors will be accompanied and their numbers limited, fire exits and escape routes have not been required to more conventional standards.
Additionally, by taking the philosophy of doing 'as much as is necessary but as little as possible', the Trust employed craftsman Chris Topp to repair sufficient sections of the iron balustrade to comply with safety, but did not repair, or even repaint, areas of rust. 'I've lost more sleep over this part of the project than any other, ' admits Richards on looking at the deftly repaired sections.
If not much can be seen for £4.5 million, much can be questioned. If this really is best practice, why is the Trust only taking this approach at Newhailes and not elsewhere?
Clearly something of an experiment, the reversibility of so much that has been done at Newhailes allows different measures in the future, when decay can no longer be arrested, and certain elements of the fabric do fail.
How often can the balustrade be repaired before nothing is left of the original?
Throughout the project, the Trust used a conservation planning process which was grant aided by the Heritage Lottery Fund and European Regional Development Fund, and which followed a rather unusual (for the Trust) course of commissioning experts to assess and advise, which included a watching brief while work was undertaken. But the clear intention from the beginning was to retain the essence of Newhailes, initially thought to be 'untouched' but, of course, not so in reality.
Given the care and attention necessary to safeguard the building during the project, the procurement method was identified as crucial from the outset by Mark Hopton at LDN. He argued that 'the conservation work at Newhailes requires to be carried out with exceptional care if we are not to destroy all that we are trying to preserve'. Early on, he told the Trust that 'value for money and quality must be demonstrated', and the management contractor employed at Chastleton - Linford Bridgeman of Lichfield - was duly appointed.
When the first small groups of visitors tour the house next month, they will have to wait in James Craig's substantial stable block of c. 1819. Only here, and only slightly, does the determination to maintain the mellowness of the estate fall down in favour of providing a tea room, shop, toilets, and staff accommodation on the upper floors. But while it might have been consistent for the Trust to commission a new building for these purposes, that was no doubt difficult to justify, given this existing, available space.
Structure Research work and analysis demonstrated that Newhailes derives its unique cultural significance from a complex interaction of different elements, rather than the initial assumption that it was 'untouched'.
Together they create a rich sense of place - an all-pervasive mellowness - in which no one element dominates. For this reason, the conservation policy for the project was 'to carry out as much work as necessary, and as little as possible'. It was vital that this approach was followed through for all decisions - conservation work to the building fabric, interiors and collections had to all reflect the same philosophy.
External repairs to the house included overhauling the roof coverings and chimneys, improving the rainwater drainage and lightning protection, replacing structurally unsound external stonework, and patching the external render. Research indicated that elements of the render dated back to early 18th century, and the Trust tried to retain as much of the original as possible, only patching where it was missing or damaged. To renew the limewash coating (which was last done more than 150 years ago) would be one step further than was required - the mellowness would certainly be lost. However, the Trust accepts that limewashing is likely to be necessary in future to prolong the life of the render and repairs.
The windows on the principal floor were replaced as part of improvements in 1873. Although all of these were in varying degrees of decay, it was felt that the Victorian sashes, glazing bars, and internal alterations consistent with the Aesthetic Movement, should be left, with repairs and outside decoration to ensure their continued survival.All existing glass, including cracked panes, was retained wherever possible.
Works to the outside of the house also included stabilisation and repair to the main staircase, replacing missing structural elements only. Over the years, some decorative elements in the balusters have been lost, but these were only replaced where structurally necessary.We have not repainted the balustrades, because to do so in their present condition would exacerbate the deterioration of the ironwork, nor did we wish to strip off the historic paint layers.
The roof over the kitchen court to the west of the house was missing when the Trust took over the estate and there was no evidence of what it looked like. A simple glazed structure, preventing further deterioration of the area, has been inserted until new evidence emerges.
In the interior of the house, the majority of the work was to the services.
However, in addition to limited structural strengthening, alterations were necessary to provide accommodation in the attic floor for the house steward, an internal lift for disabled access, a disabled WC, and staff work areas and offices in the basement.
The rare survival of its early decoration is so significant to the history of the house that the Trust has striven to protect the existing surface textures throughout all the interior work.When installing the services, only the floorboards could be disturbed.Complete rewiring of the house had to be done by using existing wiring as draw wires; where sockets could not be wired without disturbing surface textures, they were left blank.
The Trust has installed 'conservation heating' throughout the house, not for human comfort but for the benefit of the building and its collections.Each room is monitored by radio telemetry, which records and controls the relative humidity by means of heating A full fire and security detection system was installed - again, the only routes for cabling being within the floor voids. And, in addition, for the first time in a Trust property, a fire suppression system has been installed, which will ensure that any fire outbreak should be confined to the room of ignition, preserving the rest of the house and collection.The sprinkler heads are virtually invisible.


Joe Goddard has released the video for his new single Home. The track featurs vocals from Michigan-born vocalist Daniel Wilson and is a disco-sampling deep house banger that captures the vibe of that long cab ride home through London after a night out clubbing.
Home is taken from Joe's forthcoming solo album Electric Lines. All about connections, the title refers to the colourful cables that link the modules in his Eurorack synthesizer and to the invisible wires that run between all the different kinds of electronic music that he loves.

Louis Antoine de Bougainville, conde de Bougainville (París, 11 de noviembre de 1729 – París, 20 de agosto de 1811) fue un militar, explorador y navegante francés que hizo la primera circunnavegación francesa, y destacó por su descripción de Tahití.

En su memoria se bautizó la isla Bougainville  y la fosa de Bougainville, en el archipiélago de Salomón, así como la planta Buganvilia, que descubrió el naturalista de la expedición en Brasil y trajo en su barco a Europa.

Primeros años

Louis Antoine de Bougainville nació en París, Francia, el 11 o 12 de noviembre de 1729. Era hijo de un notario y hermano menor del historiador Jean-Pierre de Bougainville (1722-63). Empezó a estudiar leyes y estudió ampliamente en el colegio de la Universidad, mostrando una aptitud particular para el estudio de las matemáticas y la ley.

A los veintitrés años publicó un tratado de cálculo integral como suplemento del tratado de L'Hôpital sobre el cálculo infinitesimal (Traité du calcul intégral, pour servir de suite à l'Analyse des infiniments petits de M. le marquis de l'Hôpital, publicado en 2 volúmenes, 1754-1756).

En primer lugar, ejerció como abogado en el Parlamento de París, y luego, en 1753, ingresó en el ejército en el cuerpo de mosqueteros comenzando su carrera militar. En 1754, fue nombrado Secretario de la Embajada en Londres y se convirtió en miembro de la Royal Society el 8 de enero de 1756.

En Canadá
Fue nombrado ayudante de Francisco Chevert, y después fue enviado a Canadá en 1756 como capitán de dragones y ayudante de campo de Louis-Joseph de Montcalm (1712-59). Tomó parte activa en la captura de Fort Oswego en 1756 y en 1757 en la batalla de Fort William Henry. Fue herido en 1758 en la exitosa defensa de Fort Carillon. Se embarcó de regreso a Francia el invierno siguiente, con las órdenes del marqués de obtener del gobierno de Luis XV más recursos militares para mantener la colonia y durante esa travesía, continuó familiarizándose con las formas del mar, unas habilidades que le servirían más adelante.

Habiéndose distinguido en la guerra contra Gran Bretaña, fue recompensado con la cruz de San Luis. En una célebre discusión, el duque de Choiseul, que quería desentenderse de Canadá, le dijo «cuando la casa se quema, uno no se ocupa de los establos». Bougainville le respondió: «al menos, señor, no se podrá decir que usted habla como un caballo». Esto atrajo la atención de Madame de Pompadour de la que acabaría siendo el protegido, que lo presentó al rey y fue ascendido a coronel. De vuelta a Canadá, con pocos suministros, y después de la muerte de Montcalm en 1759, participó en la defensa de Quebec y fue de los oficiales que firmaron la rendición ante los ingleses.

Durante el año clave de 1759 (véase la Guerra de los Siete Años y la Guerra Francesa e India), participó en la defensa de la capital de Nueva Francia, la ciudad fortificada de Quebec. Con una pequeña tropa de élite bajo su mando, en la que había granaderos y voluntarios a caballo, patrulló la ribera norte del río San Lorenzo, aguas arriba desde la ciudad, durante todo el verano, para detener varios intentos de desembarco de los británicos para cortar las comunicaciones con Montreal. No tuvo tiempo suficiente, sin embargo, para reunir sus fuerzas y atacar la retaguardia británica, cuando subieron con éxito a las Llanuras de Abraham y atacaron Quebec el 13 de septiembre.

Tras la muerte del marqués de Montcalm y la caída de Quebec el 18 de septiembre —después de la frustrada intentona del coronel para reabastecer a la ciudad sitiada— Bougainville fue enviado al frente occidental por su nuevo oficial al mando de Francis de Gaston, Chevalier de Levis (1719-87) y trató de detener el avance británico desde sus trincheras en Île-aux-Noix. Fue uno de los oficiales que acompañaban a Lévis a la Île Sainte-Hélène, aguas afuera de Montreal, en la última estancia de los franceses en América antes de la capitulación general de 1761. De la guerra, Bougainville escribió en su diario: «Es un tipo abominable de guerra. El mismo aire que respiramos está contagiado de insensibilidad y dureza».

Enviado de vuelta a Europa, junto con los otros oficiales franceses, privados de todos los honores militares por los vencedores, Bougainville tenía la prohibición de adoptar cualquier servicio activo más contra los británicos según los términos de la rendición. Pasó los últimos años de la Guerra de los Siete Años (1761 a 1763) como diplomático, distinguiéndose en las orillas del Rhin, y ayudó a negociar el Tratado de París que finalmente concedió la mayor parte de Nueva Francia al Imperio Británico.

La colonia de las Malvinas

Cuando la paz se firmó en 1763 el gobierno francés concibió el proyecto de colonización de las Islas Malvinas, y Bougainville, emprendió la tarea por su propia cuenta. Fue nombrado capitán de fragata y con dos barcos, el L'Aigle (El Águila) y Le Sphinx (La Esfinge), emprendió rumbo a las islas Malvinas y ese mismo año, 1763, estableció la colonia de Port St. Louis (ahora Puerto Soledad) (llamada según su nombre), lo que provocó los celos de Gran Bretaña y el gobierno español.

Tres años más tarde y a pesar de que la colonia francesa tenía ya más de 150 personas, por motivos financieros (él mismo pagó muchas expediciones) y razones diplomáticas (España temía que las Malvinas se convirtiesen en una base de retaguardia para atacar su oro de Perú), por orden del rey Louis XV, Bougainville fue obligado a desmantelar su colonia y vender las islas a los españoles (el Rey de España le pagó 603 000 libras por las islas). El 31 de enero de 1767, se reunió en el Río de la Plata con don Felipe Ruiz Puente, al mando de las fragatas La Esmeralda y La Liebre y futuro gobernador de las islas Malvinas, para tomar posesión de las islas, y evacuar a la población francesa. Durante este tiempo francés, los marineros británicos trataron de establecerse en 1766 en el puerto de la Croisade, al que renombraron como Port Egmont. Bougainville escribió:

Viaje de circunnavegación

En 1766 Bougainville recibió de Louis XV permiso para realizar una circunnavegación del globo. Se convertiría en el 14.º navegante de la historia occidental, y el primer francés, en organizar una expedición para dar la vuelta al mundo, y su finalización reforzaría el prestigio de Francia maltrecho tras su derrota en la Guerra de los Siete Años. Bougainville se pasó a la marina y presentó un proyecto de expedición en el que cargaría con los gastos financieros creando la Compañía de Saint-Malo. Bougainville se encargaría de la misión de entregar las islas Malvinas a los españoles y quería aprovechar el viaje para explorar tierras colonizables en el Pacífico. La expedición contaría con un equipo científico formado por el astrónomo Véron y el naturalista Philibert Commerson, además de un artista.

Bougainville salió de Brest el 15 de diciembre de 1766 a bordo de la fragata Boudeuse. Un segundo barco, L'Étoile, una urca (flute, buque de carga), partió de Rochefort el 1 de febrero de 1767 y se le unió para dar la vuelta al mundo el 13 de junio de 1767 en Río de Janeiro, después de dos citas perdidas en las Malvinas y en la desembocadura del Río de la Plata. A bordo iba el botánico Philibert Commerson, que había embarcado con su ayudante de cámara, más tarde desenmascarado como Jeanne Baret, la amante de Commerson, que se convertiría así en la primera mujer en circunnavegar el globo. Nadie descubrió el engaño hasta que llegaron a Tahití y este fue descubierto por los nativos.

En Brasil, Commerson, encontró la planta que bautizó en honor al capitán, buganvilla, y cuya flor se entregaría a la primera esposa de Napoleón.

Tahití
Después de entregar las islas Malvinas a los españoles, franquearon el estrecho de Magallanes y el 22 de marzo avistaron el grupo de islas Tuamotu, explorando el vasto y peligroso archipiélago. En el 2 de abril avistaron la cima de Mehetea y visitaron la famosa isla de Tahití, que acababa de ser descubierta en abril de 1768 por Samuel Wallis a bordo del HMS Dolphin. Permanecieron allí menos de diez días y Bougainville reclamó la isla para Francia y la llamó Nueva Citera. Partieron con un joven voluntario tahitiano Aotourou, que hizo el viaje hasta París y que murió años después de viruela cuando iba en un viaje de vuelta, tras una escala en la isla de Francia (en la actualidad la isla Mauricio).

Asimismo, exploró un par de semanas más tarde la isla que lleva su nombre. Entonces descubrió la mayor parte de las islas Samoa, que llamó «îles des Navigateurs» (islas de los Navegantes), revisó las islas de Saint-Esprit de Pedro Fernández de Quirós (actual Vanuatu). Siguió a lo largo del archipiélago de las Luisiadas, encontró las islas Salomón y, finalmente, pudo obtener suministros en las Molucas.

Salieron de Tahití y navegaron hacia el suroeste hasta Samoa y las Nuevas Hébridas, y luego a continuación, cuando avistaron Espíritu Santo se dirigieron hacia el oeste todavía buscando el continente austral. El 4 de junio casi naufragaron por las fuertes olas y tuvieron que cambiar de rumbo hacia el noreste. Casi había llegado hasta la Gran Barrera de Coral. Navegó por lo que ahora conocemos como las islas Salomón que, a causa de la hostilidad de los nativos, evitó. Llamó a la isla Bougainville, por sí mismo. La expedición fue atacada por personas de Nueva Irlanda, por lo que siguieron hacia las Molucas. En Batavia, recibieron noticias de Wallis y Carteret, que habían precedido a Bougainville.

Regreso a Francia
Regresó a Saint-Malo el 16 de marzo de 1769, completando su circunnavegación, con la pérdida de sólo siete de los más de 200 hombres de la expedición, un nivel extremadamente bajo de accidentes y con el crédito de una gestión inteligente de la expedición. Su viaje de circunnavegación fue también notable por ser el primero en incluir a una mujer, Jeanne Baret.

En 1771 publicó el relato de su viaje con el título de Description d'un voyage autour du monde (Descripción de un viaje alrededor del mundo), evoca el mito del «paradis polynésien» ("paraíso polinesio"). Pensando que había descubierto Tahití, pese a que fue precedido por Samuel Wallis y que James Cook haría una estancia mucho más extensa, Bougainville vio las contribuciones científicas de su viaje también ensombrecidas por el carácter ambiguo del éxito de su libro. No obstante, hizo un gran progreso de la geografía de Oceanía, descubriendo nuevas islas, precisando la situación de muchas otras, informando sobre las costumbres de los nativos.

El relato de su viaje, Voyage autour du monde, despertó un enorme interés por sus descripciones paradisíacas de la Nueva Citera, el jardín del Edén o los Campos Elíseos. Describió un pueblo feliz e inocente sin corrupciones ni prejuicios, que provocó una serie de pensamientos filosóficos y utópicos sobre la civilización. Este libro suscitó una secuela memorable de Denis Diderot, que en 1772 publicó su Supplément au voyage de Bougainville (Suplemento al viaje de Bougainville), donde hace una revisión del buen salvaje de Rousseau.

La leyenda comienza
La descripción que Bougainville hizo de Tahití en 1771 en su libro Voyage autour du monde, ofreció una visión de un paraíso terrenal donde los hombres y mujeres vivían felices en la inocencia, lejos de la corrupción de la civilización. Su descripción ilustraba poderosamente el concepto del buen salvaje, e influyó en los pensamientos utópicos de filósofos como Jean-Jacques Rousseau antes de la llegada de la Revolución Francesa.

En el Suplemento al viaje de Bougainville de Denis Diderot, se narra con artificio la historia del desembarco de Bougainville en Tahití; aparece un lector anónimo que valora a uno de sus amigos los hechos: este enfoque de ficción de la expedición de Bougainville, junto con la descripción hecha en paralelo por un tahitiano, testigo de los males colonizadores, se entiende como una crítica a las formas occidentales de vivir y de pensar.

Guerra de Independencia de los Estados Unidos de América
Después de un intervalo de varios años, Bougainville aceptó un mando naval. En 1775 se embarcó en La Terpsícore y en 1776 en Le Solitaire. En 1777 comandó Le Bien-Aimé (El Amado), y después, de 1778 a 1779, Le Guerrier (El Guerrero). Promovido a Jefe de Escuadrón el 8 de diciembre de 1779, mandó varios buques en la Guerra de Independencia de los Estados Unidos. Luchó contra el almirante Samuel Hood, en la Martinica, y participó el 5 de septiembre de 1781 en la batalla de la Bahía de Chesapeake. Reingresó en el Ejército con el rango de mariscal de campo (equivalente a general de brigada).

Su comportamiento en la batalla de las Saintes, el 12 de abril de 1782, fue muy curioso. A la cabeza de su división de seis barcos, abandonó a su almirante, el conde de Grasse, y la docena de buques franceses que combatían y fueron derrotados por los buques ingleses al mando del almirante George Brydges Rodney. Bougainville, que comandaba la Auguste, afirmó no haber entendido las señales de su buque insignia fijando la maniobra y se puso a salvo en Saint Eustace. Era fácil darse la vuelta con su división y regresar en menos de una hora al campo de batalla. Al hacerlo, habría causado el pánico entre los buques ingleses que rodeaban a los franceses. Muchos testigos abrumaron con la deserción de Bougainville en el juicio que se celebró en Lorient en 1784. Sin embargo, Bougainville fue absuelto porque su condena habría sido embarazosa para los ministros, teniendo en cuenta sus relaciones.

Revolución y el Imperio

Después de la paz de 1783 regresó a París, y en 1787 se convirtió en miembro libre asociado de la Academia Francesa de Ciencias. Proyectó un viaje de descubrimiento hacia el Polo Norte, pero no contaba con el apoyo del gobierno francés y la petición fue denegada por el ministro Loménie de Brienne. Se mantuvo fiel a Luis XVI durante la Revolución. Fue el responsable de comandar en 1790 la flota naval de Brest. Obtuvo el rango de vicealmirante en 1791 y al no haber podido restaurar el orden en su tropa indisciplinada, se retiró del servicio. Abandonó la Marina después de que el ministerio le negara en 1792 una petición para dedicarse al estudio de las ciencias y se retiró a su finca en Normandía.

Fue arrestado durante el Terror y puesto en libertad después de la caída de Robespierre. De regreso a París, fue uno de los miembros fundadores del «Bureau des Longitudes» en 1795. En 1799, Napoleón I le nombró senador, y fue distinguido como Gran Oficial de la Legión de Honor en 1804. En 1808, fue considerado Conde del Imperio y presidió el consejo de guerra que juzgó a los responsables de la Batalla de Trafalgar en 1809. Esta sería su última función oficial.

Murió en París el 31 de agosto de 1811. Estaba casado y tenía tres hijos, que servían en el ejército o la marina franceses, siendo el más destacado Hyacinthe de Bougainville, también marinero y circunnavegante. Sabía y sentía pasión por las plantas y su jardín fue notable (Château de Suisnes). Cuando el gusto por las rosas comenzó a crecer, proporcionó a su jardinero jefe Aubin Cochet el capital para la instalación de un vivero en el que cultivar rosas, siendo el primero que hizo tal cosa en el Brie.

Su corazón está enterrado en el cementerio Calvary, en Montmartre, y su cuerpo descansa en el Panteón de París.

Legado

Se le honró nombrando con su apellido, Bougainville, a la mayor de las islas del archipiélago de las Salomón y también al estrecho que la separa de la isla de Choiseul. Asimismo, lleva ese nombre el estrecho entre las islas Mallicollo y Espíritu Santo del grupo de las Nuevas Hébridas. En las Malvinas, Port Louis, y la "isla de Bougainville" (en inglés, Lively Island) le conmemoran.

Un género de plantas de América del Sur, unas especies arbustivas trepadoras con brácteas de colores, las bougainvilleas, llevan su nombre.

Además, trece barcos de la Marina francesa han sido nombrados en su honor.

I received an assortment of Glee Gum flavors to review. When the package arrived, I was happier than a kid in a candy store! I love gum and chew it daily. I've never tried Glee Gum and I couldn't wait to sample it. After opening the package full of over six different flavors of glee gum (cinnamon, peppermint, tangerine, bubblegum, spearmint, and triple berry), I sat down and opened every single pack and decided I'd have my own "taste test" challenge to see which one would be my favorite. With each new flavor I tried, I found another I liked. I started with cinnamon flavor as my favorite (my usual favorite), but by the end of my Glee Gum taste test challenge, I think my favorite Glee Gum is the sugar-free Lemon Lime. It tastes like candy. I'd probably chew the Lemon Lime instead of eating candy when my sugar cravings are on overdrive. Glee Gum is full of flavor without all of the extra calories I'd get from grabbing a pack of my favorite candies.
Glee Gum is vegetarian and made of natural ingredients free of additives, preservatives, artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners. Sounds like the healthiest kind of gum available. The best part is that Glee Gum is also allergy friendly for those of us looking for a sweet treat that is Lactose Free, Dairy Free, Wheat Free, Gluten Free, Casein Free, Egg Free, Yeast Free, Nut Free, and Peanut Free and still tastes GOOD. Glee Gum is sweetened with pure cane sugar, and rice syrup, instead of corn syrup. Glee Gum's sugar-free flavors are sweetened with zylitol (not aspartame or any other artificial sweeteners). Glee Gum's texture is different than other gums I chew. It's more chewy and doesn't dissolve away like some other gums I've tried. This unique texture comes from Glee Gum's natural ingredient: chicle. Chicle is used as the gum base and is harvested from the sap of Sapodilla trees in Central America's rain forests. Chicle was the original ingredient in all chewing gums until synthetic gum bases were developed. Now Glee Gum is the only gum in North America made the old-fashioned way, with chicle. I had no idea that most other gums use synthetic ingredients instead of natural ingredients like chicle. Glee Gum uses chicle because it is natural and an eco-friendly way to help conserve the rain forest. The Chicle harvesting process is both renewable and non-destructive. Glee Gum is committed to being a "green" company; even the packaging is made of recycled cardboard.I've learned a lot about how gum is made and the ingredients by reading Glee Gum's website. I also discovered that Glee sells individual "Make Your Own Candy" Kits as well as a "Make Your Own Candy" educational program that includes enough supplies to make 30-60 pieces of gum, lesson plans, a Chewing Gum History book, and an "El Chicle" DVD about the harvesting of chicle. This sounds like a great resource for parents, teachers and group leaders. Glee Gum can be purchased online and is available in stores nationwide. To find a store that sells Glee Gum local to your area, visit the Glee Gum store locator. Glee Gum sold online is available by the case or in bulk bags. The price of a Glee Gum is $10-$11 per case or bulk packaging.

This micro-sized TARDIS is the latest print from [Ron Light]'s Sedgwick 3D DLP printer. Yes, it's orange, but the print quality for such a small object is pretty astounding.
The Sedgwick 3D printer is currently available as a kit on Kickstarter. For five hundred bones, the Sedgwick provides all the parts – minus a DLP projector and resin – to make your own miniature Type 40 with a broken chameleon circuit. There's a lot more this printer can do, from miniature cathedrals to hollow geodesic spheres.
This is the latest in what will be a long line of DLP projector / resin 3D printers, and the most affordable one to date. The last one we saw was an awesome $2400 machine that included a projector and resin. At $500 for a projector-less kit, the Sedgwick still handily beats even the cheapest option we've seen so far.
[Ron Light] is from Kansas City, and our boss man [Caleb] ran into him at the KC Maker Faire a few weeks ago. You can check out that little interview and a few videos of the Sedgwick doing its thing after the break.
The trick about the whole thing is that when oxygen and propane are mixed it is a highly volatile and dangerous thing, in a closed space they classify as an explosive. Instead oxygen is filled directly into the open ended barrel separately and is allowed to sit until propane fires it out. This mixes the two fuels in the open air where it is safer and far away from any bystanders. We would not suggest you try this at all ever, as the effect was so loud during the Transformus festival that neighbors, miles away from the large festival ground, were complaining about rattling windows. This is the kind of place where several thousand watt sound systems are pushed near the red with no issue, just to give a bit of a comparison.
We can't seem to find a video of this thing in action either [Beyond Joy] just posted a video of this crazy contraption in action (without the O2 effect), check it out after the jump! Don't forget to check the facebook photo album for all the NPT pipe fitting action, (warning some images of the phallic controls are very mildly NSFW).
[John McMaster] is doing some pretty amazing work with figuring out how the circuitry in an integrated circuit works. Right now he's reverse engineering a serial EEPROM chip one section at a time. This is a 24c02 made by ST, and he chose this particular portion of the die to examine because it looked like there were some analog components involved.
He removed the top metal using hydrofluoric acid in order to take this image. By continually removing layers this way he manages to work out the traces and even the components themselves. To help clarify the parts he uses the set of snapshots to generate a colored map using Inkscape. From there he begins labeling what he thinks the components might be, and like a puzzle the pieces start falling into place one by one. From the Inkscape drawing he lays out a schematic, then rearranges the components to make the design easier to understand. Apparently this is a Schmidt trigger.
This beautifully crafted device is a timer used for getting the perfect exposure when making film prints of photos. But in addition to keeping time, it also does logarithmic calculations that are based on the f-stop values used for each exposure. It does this in 1/100th of a stop increments. While he was at it, [William] also decided to pack in a bunch of other features like dry down correction, and support for making test strips. This is a little hard to understand when discussed in the abstract, but just take a look at his video after the break where [William] walks us through an example exposure and all will become clear.
You can see from the construction page that the device is basically an Arduino shield. It provides a relay for controlling the exposure lamp, a keypad, rotary encoder, and character LCD. Slap it in a fancy case, connect it to the equipment you're using, and you'll be creating perfect prints in no time flat!


Three weeks after the VMD – Estes Park show, we did another one on a smaller scale in Johnston.
Rockin S Ranch is such a beautiful location. I could have stayed there much longer camping in Frankie.

The Azerbaijani football club �Turan' ranked 2 at the pre-seasonal international football tournament, held in Turkey. At the final the Azerbaijani team lost the local team �Diarbakirspor' with the score of 0:1, Trend reports.
Though the Azerbaijani players kicked a goal, the arbiter cancelled it for violation of rules. Nevertheless, Naji Shensou, a coach, was satisfied with his players, who were remarked by some clubs.
�Turan' won Turkish teams �Denizlispor' and �Samsunspor' on the way to the final tournament.


Why is Fall the Ideal Time to Renovate Your Swimming Pool?Do I really have to drain my pool for Winter?
From fibromyalgia and arthritis to back pain and knee pain. Heat therapy from water can bring significant relief to those who suffer. For many, that relief comes in the form of a hot bath every night. If your nightly routine includes drawing a bath, you may want to consider investing in a hot tub. Not only will you benefit from the added jets and contoured seating, but you will actually save on water usage.
Yep, you heard right, a hot tub will help you cut down on water usage! Let's do a little bit of math. Bathtubs typically hold between 40 and 110 gallons of water. For the purposes of our discussion, let's take an average of 75 gallons. So, every time you fill your tub you are using 75 gallons of water. If you are taking 5 baths a week, in an effort to ease your aches and pains, you are using about 375 gallons of water a week. Keep figuring your usage over a month and you will come up with over 1,500 gallons of water used, just on baths, in one month.
Now, let's talk about the water usage for a hot tub. For this comparison, we will use a four person hot tub that holds 375 gallons of water. You will fill this tub once, but will need to drain and refill it approximately every 4 months, as part of your cleaning routine. Even those who are mathematically challenged can already see the savings. For those who want to finish doing the math…your water usage for a YEAR would not exceed 1,500 gallons. That amount even accounts for occasionally topping off the water that is lost from evaporation.
You can easily see that your water usage, for an entire year of hottubbing, barely reaches the amount of water used in just one month of filling a bathtub. Just for fun, let's end this article with a little more math. By investing in a hot tub, you have the potential to save over 16,700 gallons of water every year!
Now, we know everyone loves a good math lesson, but why do you need to know this information. For one, it is quite mind blowing. For two, it's always good when you can conserve water. The most compelling argument though, just might be that you can enjoy all of the fun and relaxation that a hot tub brings, while SAVING money on your water usage. If you are ready to start saving, stop by and see us. We would be happy to help you find the hot tub of your dreams.

Bobby Flay Set to Leave Food Network After 27 Years
By Derrick Murray October 10, 2021 Updated: October 10, 2021 2 Mins Read
The man who seems to win time and time again by grilling everything and smothering it in a red or green chilli sauce (even when the challenge to make a pastry) on "Beat Bobby Flay" is leaving the network after 27 years. Chef Bobby Flay has made himself synonymous with the Food Network, known for a plethora of shows and appearances including "Iron Chef America," "Beat Bobby Flay," "Brunch at Bobby's," a guest judge on "Chopped," and countless other shows. Love or hate him, Chef Flay's departure from the network is a huge deal, ending a longstanding relationship that seemed to be as close as you can get to forever.
"Beat Bobby Flay," Food Network
Flay and Discovery-owned Food Network have been in heated negotiations since his recent 3-year contract recently expired, and it looks like they will not be able to reach a deal. The details are scarce, as the WME group that represents Flay has declined to comment on active negotiations (never a good sign in these things) and the Food Network has also not made their decision official.
However, according to Variety, sources close to the situation have stated that both Flay and Discovery were very far apart on money for a renewal, leading to Flay planning his exit from the network.
Chef Flay launches cat food line with Nacho.
It'll be interesting to see how it all ends up playing out- the possible vacuum left in the wake of Flay's absence- and where Bobby decides to go from here. In addition to his extensive, 27-year long run with the cabler that includes countless shows and appearances, Flay is also a very successful businessman, owning and operating numerous restaurants across the country as well as authoring more than a dozen cookbooks. He is also the first superstar chef to earn a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The departure marks an end to an era, but there are plenty of other celebrity chefs that can find new programming front after Flay leaves.
If you're listening, Discovery, I have a pitch for you: Beat Maneet. You're really gonna try to beat the spice queen and current "Tournament of Champions" title holder? Good luck, chefs. You're welcome.

Homemade Horse Care Remedies
Equisearch.com - Full Article
It's said they can heal injuries, repel flies and make your horse's coat glossy. But are homemade remedies reliable--or are they recipes for disaster? We'll look at some homemade horse care remedies and see how effective they are.
By Debbie Moors and Karen E.N. Hayes, DVM, MS
You've tried everything to treat your horse's case of scratches. But he's still sore--and you're frustrated. A friend mentions a home remedy she's used with success, and you're tempted. It can't hurt, right?
It may not. It may even bring your horse relief. But it could also make the symptoms worse and create a whole new set of problems. We'll take a look at 10 horse care situations where homemade remedies were used, and Horse & Rider contributing editor and veterinarian Karen Hayes will explain why the remedy might be effective (or not) and offer some options and advice for treatment. We'll also look at remedies that have been used for generations ("Tried and True," below), and offer some words of warning for common horse treatments ("Proceed with Caution," below). And, just for a glimpse at how far horse care has come, we'll dust off some of the old (and outrageous) remedies horsemen cooked up as cures ("Don't Try This at Home,"below).
As always, check with your vet for diagnosis and treatment, and ask her before trying any homemade remedy.
Anhidrosis
Problem: Sarah's 16-year-old Quarter Horse, Wisk, isn't breaking a sweat, even in the dead heat of summer. The vet says he has anhidrosis, a condition characterized by a horse's inability to sweat in response to exercise or increased body temperature. Unable to cool himself, he's not only uncomfortable, but his health is compromised.
Reader Remedy: A friend suggests pouring a pint of Guinness beer in his grain ration once a day during the summer. It's an old racetrack remedy she says helps him pop a sweat.
Vet's View: It's not as far-fetched as it sounds...

Brian Hayes MEP today warned that banks may be seriously restricted in how they offer fixed rate mortgages in the future due to an examination by the Basel Committee, an International Group of Regulators, of the risks posed by fixed rate loans.
"Is the end of fixed rate mortgages in sight? It's possible. The Basel Committee is conducting an examination of interest rate risk for banks with a view to proposing regulatory changes to how these loans can be offered to customers and how they are structured.
"International Regulators want banks to be better protected from interest rate risk. It is considered that fixed rate mortgages carry a risk in that the rate cannot be adjusted to reflect market conditions. The Basel Committee generally advocates for variable rate mortgages since banks can adjust them according to market conditions and can link them to central bank interest rates.
"The Basel Committee believes that risks should be transferred from lender to borrower as much as possible. I do accept there are systemic risk issues that need to be tackled. But to restrict all banking practices to render them useless should not be the way to proceed.
"The major issue for the Basel Committee is the possibility of prepayment of a mortgage before the end of the mortgage term. Irish banks do offer the possibility of prepayment but mostly there are penalties if you want to pay off your fixed rate mortgage early.
"The work undertaken by the Basel Committee will not help the development of a better fixed rate market for mortgages in Ireland. But I believe lawmakers and policymakers should keep pushing for a better deal for customers when it comes to fixed rate products. There is serious concern in Belgium and France over the Basel Committee's examination. That is because the fixed rate regime in those countries has worked so well for people for decades.
"The process still has some way to go and it is contingent on new rules being developed for banks under a so-called 'Basel IV' process. This would update the current rules on how much capital banks have to hold to protect against systemic risk.

"Characterization of Novel Sorghum brown midrib Mutants from an" by Scott E. Sattler, Ana Saballos et al.
Copyright © 2014 Sattler et al.
ruminant livestock and saccharification yields of biomass for bioenergy. In sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and several other C4 grasses, brown midrib (bmr) mutants have been shown to reduce lignin concentration. Putative bmr mutants isolated from an EMS-mutagenized population were characterized and classified based on their leaf midrib phenotype and allelism tests with the previously described sorghum bmr mutants bmr2, bmr6, and bmr12. These tests resulted in the identification of additional alleles of bmr2, bmr6, and bmr12, and, in addition, six bmr mutants were identified that were not allelic to these previously described loci. Further allelism testing among these six bmr mutants showed that they represented four novel bmr loci.
Based on this study, the number of bmr loci uncovered in sorghum has doubled. The impact of these lines on agronomic traits and lignocellulosic composition was assessed in a 2-yr field study. Overall, most of the identified bmr lines showed reduced lignin concentration of their biomass relative to wild-type (WT). Effects of the six new bmr mutants on enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic materials were determined, but the amount of glucose released from the stover was similar to WT in all cases. Like bmr2, bmr6, and bmr12, these mutants may affect monolignol biosynthesis and may be useful for bioenergy and forage improvement when stacked together or in combination with the three previously described bmr alleles.

Home Daily News Detroit Mayor Launches $4.8M Board Up Brigades Program to Address Urban Blight
Detroit Mayor Launches $4.8M Board Up Brigades Program to Address Urban Blight
Stephanie Shenouda
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan today announced a collaborative program with residents from several neighborhoods to board up 11,000 blighted and abandoned house throughout the city over the next two years. The $4.5-million program, part of a $9-million campaign to address urban blight, began in the Boynton neighborhood, where 40 houses have recently been secured.
The securing of empty, and in many cases structurally sound, houses is part of a larger citywide initiative to demolish, rehab, or board up an estimated 25,000 blighted houses that exist throughout Detroit over the next two years. The goal is to secure the houses in the hope of preserving them for rehab as the city's recovery continues.
The houses being boarded up by what is called the Board Up Brigades are being identified by registered block clubs in the city working with the Mayor's Department of Neighborhoods. Approximately 150 organizations were asked to submit their requests by Aug. 1, and the lists are being used to develop board up zones, prioritized by the date of request submission.
"We've come far enough as a city to where it's no longer acceptable for us to simply say 'wait a few years longer' to our residents living on the blocks that our blight removal program won't be able to reach in the short term," says Mayor Duggan. "What we are committing to today is that all of the 25,000 blighted abandoned houses that still remain today will be demolished, rehabbed, and reoccupied or secured by one of our Board Up Brigades over the next two years."
Since Jan. 2014, 12,000 abandoned, vacant houses have been demolished and an additional 3,000 have been rehabbed. The two-year plan to address the remaining 25,000 houses includes demolition of 9,000 homes and for 5,000 houses to be rehabbed through Land Bank Auction and Nuisance Abatement Program.
The City's General Services Department director Brad Dick expects to have all 10 crews up and running in the next few months.
"By the end of September, we expect to be boarding up 40 houses each week and will double our rate each month until we get up to 200 every week," says Dick. "So far it's been going very well and we all very proud of all of our returning citizens who have really inspired all of us."

The Discovery Bay Resort grounds also feature apple trees and blackberry bushes, a pet run and a large off-leash meadow and open areas with evergreen trees.
Best lesbian retirement communities
The small number of LGBTQ retirement communities, unfortunately, suggests that there are even fewer women or lesbian retirement communities. As of this writing, there are currently three exclusively lesbian retirement communities. They are:
The Pueblo in AZ
The Resort on Carefree Boulevard in FL
Discovery Bay Resort in WA
Other retirement options
There are simply not enough gay retirement communities to meet demand, but gay- and LGBT-friendly facilities can help make up the difference. Thankfully, SAGE (Services & Advocacy for LGBT Elders in America), offers SAGECare. The SAGECare program trains care providers on how to better understand the unique needs of the LGBT community.

Q: FQL Query Usage I need to get the posts on my Facebook page using FQL. I tried the query:
SELECT message FROM stream WHERE source_id= My_Page_ID

Then I got the error:
{
  "error": {
    "message": "An access token is required to request this resource.",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 104
  }
}

Then I tried the same query with access_token:-
SELECT message FROM stream
  WHERE source_id= My_Page_ID AND access_token = my_access_token

Then I got the error
{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#602) acces_token is not a member of the stream table.",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 602
  }
}

What do I do. How can I solve it. Please provide me an error free FQL query to get POSTs on my Facebook page using C#.net

A: in the second query, you have added access_token, you need to check if this exists, I assume it doesn't? try removing this or double checking the stream table
SELECT message FROM stream
  WHERE source_id= My_Page_ID AND access_token = my_access_token

EDIT: I have just checked here, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/stream/, and this column doesn't exist.

A: You query is perfectly correct. You are probably making the call in a wrong way, try like this-
$fql = "SELECT message FROM stream
        WHERE source_id= My_Page_ID";

$param = array(
               'method'      => 'fql.query',
               'query'       => $fql,
               'access_token'=> ACCESS_TOKEN,
               'callback'    => ''
              );

$my_result = $facebook->api($param);

Also note that you need the permission: read_stream to read the stream table
