Known for its production of alpaca wool, Arequipa is a major commercial and tourist center in what country just south of Ecuador?
A Mediterranean climate occurs in only one state in the United States. Name this coastal state.
Name the major river that flows through Turkey and Syria before joining the Tigris River in Iraq.
The region of Alsace-Lorraine has changed hands four times since 1870 between France and what other country, which occupied the area during most of World War II?
The average American may not know the answers (Peru, California, Euphrates River and Germany) to these questions, and many would be surprised to learn they were all answered correctly by Grace Lutheran School eighth-grader John Peterson.
Peterson, 13, will compete Friday in the 2008 Florida Geographic Bee at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. The Winter Haven resident was invited, along with 99 other Florida fourth- through eighth-grade students, to compete in the National Geographic Society-sponsored event.
While this is Peterson's first year competing in the state level of the competition, he has been preparing for several years.
"In fifth grade, we started studying for the school geographic bee," said Peterson, who is involved in a variety of extracurricular activities at his school, including Math Counts, science fair, choir, hand bells, basketball and track. "My teacher didn't want us to get embarrassed during the competition, so she told us to start studying before Christmas break."
At Grace Lutheran, many of the classes participate in the geographic bee, first within each class, and then with the class winners progressing to the school level of competition.
"This is was the first year I was chosen for the school level," he said.
Peterson said reaching that school level was an honor, and he was stunned when he learned several months later he had been chosen to compete as one of the top 100 in the state.
"When I got home from school and had the letter, I was so excited," he said. "I'd taken the test a while ago and kind of forgotten about it. I was surprised."
After finishing at the top of his school competition, Peterson took a written test from the National Geographic Society for eligibility for the state level. The Society then scored those tests and the top 100 students were chosen for the state level. The top winner at the state level will then compete in the national finals May 20-21 at the Washington, D.C. National Geographic Society headquarters.
Grace Lutheran School's staff members are excited to have Peterson represent their school.
"We had a guy about 10 years ago who went to the state and the national level," said Fred Aceto, who last year was Peterson's geography teacher. "John is the first student in that many years to be chosen to go to the state level."
Aceto said Peterson, an A student, is an avid reader, a trait Aceto said fosters his geography skills.
"John reads everything, anything he can get his hands on," Aceto said. "He also watches a lot of educational TV, and his parents have just helped him to get a general exposure to geography and the world."
Peterson's parents, Jon and Janice Peterson, both with teaching backgrounds, have provided their son with an exposure to a wide range of geography through family trips.
"My family, for summer, would go on vacations to Colorado, Pike's Peak, Green Bay (Wis.), Philadelphia and Chicago," John Peterson said. "I used to get a map and mark all the places we'd been."
Aside from family trips and reading, Peterson said there is some hefty studying - at least half an hour a day - that goes into preparing for the Geographic Bee.
"I just spend time going over the questions," he said. "National Geographic has questions online to go through and practice. This week, I probably went through 40 questions or something. Sometimes I try to do more when I have time."
Although Peterson spends most of the time studying on his own, he said his parents help him as well.
"My dad tries to help me a lot," Peterson said. "He found the National Geographic Web site and showed me how to use it."
Other ways Peterson studies involves old-fashioned books and maps.
"Sometimes I'll get out a map and try to figure out where all the countries are," he said.
And although he can't fill in an entire map, Peterson said he's getting close.
"I'm trying to get all of Asia now," he said. "But, I don't have every country down yet. It's really hard because there's so many places."
Despite the challenge of learning so many facts about world geography, Peterson said he seems to have a natural aptitude for the subject.
"It's just something I found out I could do," he said, smiling. "It's easier to me than playing sports - although I am on the basketball team."
In addition to learning geography facts and country names, Peterson also has had to conquer oral testing. The format for the state and national geographic bees are oral.
"It's like a spelling bee, where everyone stand up and answers questions," he said. "Sometimes you have to spell answers, and you're judged on how close you can get to what it is."
Peterson said he likes the written tests better than the oral format.
"The oral testing makes me more nervous, because I'm afraid I'll mess up saying something," he said.
For the competition, Peterson said he'll be asked some questions about geography and be given facts about a country and have to identify it.
"They'll also ask things like, 'This country is west of this place and south of this place. What is it?' " he said. "Then, they'll also ask easier things like, 'What continent is Italy on?' It's a hard competition to prepare for."
Through his study of geography, Peterson said he's learned some interesting facts.
"My favorite thing to learn was that there's a country called Djibouti," he said, laughing.
He also has developed an interest in traveling to foreign countries.
"I'd like to go to Spain," he said. "We had a speaker at school come to tell us about traveling abroad. I enjoy learning about all the different languages, and I'd like to try the different foods."
Peterson's increased interest in geography has accomplished the goal of the National Geographic Society.
"In 1988, National Geographic sponsored a Gallup poll for its 100th birthday to test the geographic knowledge of people around the world," said Ellen Siskind, a spokeswoman for the National Geographic Society. "We found that America came in second to last, and that prompted the Society to begin an initiative to encourage American students to study and learn geography."
The National Geographic Bee was the keystone event of that initiative.
"Since it started, we've seen an increased interest in the bee," Siskind said. "We have 5 million students per year participate, and 58 students, from all the U.S. states and territories, go to the national round."
Every other year, an international bee is held. In the 2007 world championship, 19 countries participated.
"We find this really inspires an interest in geography," she said. "By geography, we mean everything in the world, really - politics, climates, people, landmarks. It makes people think."
Peterson agreed that this study of geography has helped him to think on a more global level.
"It's kind of good to know about geography," he said. "If a country were to become a world power, I'd know all about it."
However, Peterson doesn't want to become involved in global politics in the future. Instead, he wishes to follow his parents' example.
"My parents are both teachers and they've really helped other people learn a lot about things," he said. "I think I'd like to do that, too."

Heaven in the Himalayas: Nepal's top 5 responsible boutique hotels
by Jenni Marsh, CNN
Updated 10:40 PM EST, Thu January 5, 2017
The five-star Pavilions Himalaya eco-resort is situated on a hillside on the outskirts of Pokhara, Nepal.
The 2015 earthquake that hit Nepal badly damaged its tourism industry
The country's tourism sector is rebuilding with a focus on sustainability and heritage
Kathmandu, Nepal CNN —
It's been nearly two years since one of Nepal's major fault lines sparked the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that claimed at least 8,000 lives and many of the Himalayan nation's historic monuments.
Yet the damage is still being felt.
Online hotel reviews in Nepal are plagued by complaints of disruption by rebuilding work. Most of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites shattered during the quake remain in ruins.
And in 2015, tourist arrivals to the country were down by 30%, the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) tells CNN.
But positives have emerged. As Nepal slowly rebuilds its tourism industry, it's doing so with a new emphasis on safe architecture, sustainability and heritage, says Sudhan Subedi, press officer for the NTB.
"People today are more concerned about their heritage," he tells CNN. "They are newly conscious about building codes and architecturally they are making stronger structures."
Here, CNN highlights five boutique hotels helping to build a new responsible era in Nepalese tourism.
Dwarika's Hotel, Kathmandu
Dwarika's Hotel, Kathmandu —
Originally built in the 1970s, this five-star property features Newari crafts and architecture dating all the way back to the 13th Century.
Dwarikas
The founder of Dwarika's built his hotel in the red-brick style of the Kathmandu Valley's Durbar Square palaces.
These days Dwarika's prides itself as being the largest private collector of wooden carvings, which are used as everything from window frames to an elevator cabin.
Nepal's 2015 earthquake brought major damage to the country's historic temples and artworks. The hotel helps restore some of these monuments.
The hotel's wood workshop teaches the ancient skill of Newari crafting.
Dwarika's Hotel Kathmandu
Often described as a "living museum," this family-run five-star hotel has become a savior of Newari crafts and architecture, dating back to the ancient Malla dynasty (1201-1769), as the Kathmandu valley tears down old buildings in its hurry to modernize.
In the 1970s, founder Dwarika Das Shrestha built the luxurious Dwarika's Hotel in the redbrick style of the valley's Durbar Square palaces, and incorporated into the design salvaged Newari wooden carvings, using them as window frames, floorboards, and even an elevator cabin.
Today, Dwarika's Hotel claims to boast the world's largest private collection of wooden carvings.
The hotel's mission has become newly important since the earthquake, which destroyed countless Newari temples and artworks.
Its on-site wood workshop teaches young craftsmen the now rare ancient skill of Newari carving, returns old pieces to their former glory and is helping restoration efforts at the Kathmandu Valley palaces.
Dwarika's Hotel, 459 Battisputali, Kathmandu, Nepal; +977 1447 9488.
Swotha Traditional Homes, Patan
Swotha Traditional Homes, Patan —
Founded by a group of architects in 2011, heritage hotel Swotha Traditional Homes has repurposed a 70-year-old structure in Patan.
Swotha
Swotha survived the earthquake in 2015 unscathed despite being just a stone's throw from majorly damaged areas thanks to its solid architecture, including supportive wooden pillars throughout the building.
A private terrace off one of the hotel's rooms. The property's original features, such as its wooden beams and layout, have been retained.
Swotha Traditional Homes in Patan
The old Newari-style homes on the fringes of Patan's Durbar Square are being rapidly replaced by new buildings.
In 2011, a group of architect friends founded Swotha Traditional Homes, preserving a 70-year-old traditional building by turning it into a heritage hotel.
When the 2015 earthquake hit, Swotha – just 100 meters from some of the worst devastation – withstood the quake with minor injuries, due to sound structural planning, the owners tell CNN.
The building's original wooden beams and layout have been retained, with modern luxuries such as Wi-Fi, hot water and a great restaurant added. To safeguard against Kathmandu's notorious power cuts, the building's design incorporates solar power and rainwater harvesting.
Swotha Traditional Homes, Patan 44600, Nepal; +977 1555 1184.
The Pavilions Himalaya, Pokhara
The Pavilions Himalaya, Pokhara —
The Pavilions resort has its own organic farm, the produce from which supplies its restaurant.
The five-star Pavilions Himalaya eco-resort is situated on a hillside on the outskirts of Pokhara.
The self-sustainable resort has 16 villas -- under which tanks harvest rainwater, which is cleaned and used by taps and showers.
The hotel is helmed by Douglas Maclagan, who has spent more than two decades working on social projects in Nepal.
The Pavillions Himalaya
This stylish five-star eco resort was opened in November 2015 by Dutch-Scotsman Douglas Maclagan – who has spent the past 25 years working on social projects in Nepal – on land once attached to his farmhouse in Pokhara.
The property is entirely self-sustainable.
Maclagan tells CNN that "massive tanks" under the resort's 16 villas harvest rainwater, which is then cleaned and fed to sinks and showers. After being used, this "grey water" is treated and used to flush toilets. "Then we use that 'black water' to create our own bio-gas. That gas cooks our food."
The hotel also has an organic farm – home to buffaloes, goats, chicken and sometimes boars, as well as vegetable patches – which supplies the hotel restaurant.
The majority of employees are from the local village, and 70% of the hotel's profits will fund projects for disadvantaged children.
The Pavilions Himalaya, Ward No. 25, Chisapani, Pokhara 33700, Nepal; +977 975-6008117.
Barahi Jungle Lodge, Chitwan
Barahi Jungle Lodge, Chitwan —
Once a resort, the Barahi Jungle Lodge relocated out of Chitwan National Park in 2012 as government policy changed, and now operates as an eco-lodge.
Barahi Jungle Lodge
An eco-friendly ethos is central to the lodge: there are some 5,500 indigenous plants here and no plastic bottles to be found.
Barahi isn't short on luxury -- all the usual suspects expected of a five-star property can be found here, including a top restaurant.
Taking up 13 hectares, Barahi affords views of the Rapti River and national park.
The lodge has its own elephants, which guests can interact with.
LALIT RAJORA/Barahi Jungle Lodge
In 2009, the Nepalese government controversially ordered all resorts operating within Chitwan National Park – home to one of the world's largest Bengal tiger populations, and rare rhinoceros – to exit the park to assist wildlife conservation efforts.
After the final eviction deadline in 2012, Barahi Jungle Lodge upped sticks to the wider Chitwan area and reinvented itself as an eco-lodge; in 2015 it was rated by the Travel Operators for Tigers as "outstanding" in sustainability.
The resort doesn't serve drinking water in plastic bottles, runs outreach programs with the local Tharu tribe and has planted 5,500 indigenous plants, including seasonal fruits which guests are encouraged to pluck and eat.
None of this has come at the expense of luxury.
All 18 huts in the resort's 13 hectares of pristine forest have a view of the Rapti River and national park, as well as a private balcony and access to the biggest swimming pool in Chitwan.
Barahi Jungle Lodge, Megauli, 97761, Nepal; +977 1442 9820.
Heritage Hotel, Bhaktapur
Heritage Hotel, Bhaktapur —
The Heritage Hotel in Bhaktapur bills itself as the ancient city's first boutique hotel.
SUMAN PRAJAPATI
Its owner Prakas Mohan Dhaubhadel rescues antiques from around the Bhaktapur area and restores them to display in the hotel.
SUMAN_PRAJAPATI
The hotel is overflowing with Nepalese antiques.
BIKESH PRAJAPATI
Heritage Hotel Bhaktapur
A deep bow to Nepali tradition, the 25-room Heritage Hotel bills itself as the first luxury hotel in Bhaktapur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the hardest hit of the Kathmandu Valley's three Durbar Squares in the 2015 earthquake.
The vision of owner Prakas Mohan Dhaubhadel, nearly all furniture in this hotel is a salvaged antique – the 75-year-old carved window frames were pulled from a bonfire while the 400-year-old stone flooring was rescued from the rubble of a destroyed royal palace.
The hotel also pays scouts to lookout for discarded antiques.
Heritage Hotel, Bhaktapur Rd, Bhaktapur 21164, Nepal; +977 1661 1628.

News World Suspected accomplice of Paris knife attacker released
Suspected accomplice of Paris knife attacker released
A police officer is seen at the scene of an incident near the former offices of French magazine Charlie Hebdo, in Paris, France September 25, 2020. REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes
A suspected accomplice of a man believed to have attacked and wounded two people with a meat cleaver yesterday in front of a Paris office building has been released, a judicial source has told Reuters.
The source added that another person close to the suspected attacker and believed to have been a former roommate in a hotel north of Paris had been arrested, following a series of other arrests last night.
As of this morning, 7 people remained in custody including the suspected attacker.
The attack took place in front of a building where Islamist militants gunned down employees of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in 2015, sparking concerns over a possible new series of deadly attacks in Paris and elsewhere.
Police quickly detained the man suspected of carrying out the attack next to the steps of an opera house about half a kilometer away.
The suspected attacker was from Pakistan and arrived in France three years ago as an unaccompanied minor, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said.
A second suspect was detained moments after the attack and prosecutors were trying to establish his relation to the attacker. He was released free of charge, the source said.

Fighting For Your Health And Safety; As COVID-19 Cases Rise, Renown Is Prepared
Protect yourself by obtaining a vaccination against COVID-19 and the Delta strain if you are 12 years or older; seek urgent care if needed The world, the country and our area continue to experience an increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations with the highly contagious Delta SARS-CoV-2 virus strain. The Renown Health team continues to safely screen, diagnose and care for patients with respiratory illnesses, including those at risk for COVID-19. Renown continues to use current local and national data, analytics, and public data sets for predictive modeling in service to our community. Renown Health ensures constant readiness by working closely with the Washoe County Health District, the Governor's office, and is informed by updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). When there is heightened concern around an illness, we implement enhanced infection prevention strategies to ensure we are ready with the appropriate supplies and alternate plans should the need arise. Renown Health providers are educated and prepared to quickly and safely screen, diagnose and care for patients with respiratory illness, including COVID-19. Vaccination is the best protection against Delta. "The most important action you can take to protect yourself from the Delta strain and the COVID-19 virus is to get fully vaccinated," says Brion Hill, MD who practices at the Renown Urgent Care - Los Altos location. "The COVID 19 virus and Delta strain is preventable and controllable through safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines, which are free and now widely available in our area. The CDC recommends all people 12 years and older be vaccinated against COVID-19. Recent data show that nearly all COVID-19 deaths are now occurring among unvaccinated individuals." A list of providers in our area offering vaccines is available at vaccines.gov." Protecting Yourself, Friends and Family Dr. Hill adds, "You can protect yourself the same way you would protect against other viruses with a few common-sense practices." Wear a cloth mask or medical procedure mask when in a public setting. For situations when you are in close contact with people who do not live with you, you may want to consider a mask option that provides a higher level of protection (improved fit and/or improved filtration). Wash your hands thoroughly and often. Make sure you are cleaning between your fingers and under your nails. Use alcohol-based sanitizers when soap and water are not available. Use disposable tissues when coughing and sneezing; dispose of carefully and promptly. If tissues are not available, direct your cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm/sleeve. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. Avoid close contact with anyone who has cold or flu-like symptoms. Avoid shaking hands, especially with those who appear to be ill. Disinfect shared surfaces. Practice social distancing, 6 feet or more. Stay home when you are sick. If you have fever, cough, gastrointestinal, or respiratory symptoms please call your medical provider and explain your symptoms before coming in to their offices. If you do not have a health care provider, and have medical concerns that are urgent but not life-threatening, visit a Renown Urgent Care physician or healthcare provider. Virtual Urgent Care is available for people for COVID-19 symptoms and Virtual Urgent Care visits are available through MyChart. MyChart is a free, secure online patient portal that allows you to access your Renown Health medical record and manage your health care information.

Renown Health Adds Proactive Level of Protection to Address COVID-19 Deployable Medical Structure at Renown Regional Erected as Precautionary Measure WHAT: As we continue our planning and preparation for the impact of COVID-19, Renown Health now has an alternate care site – a deployable medical facility to serve as an additional respiratory illness evaluation and screening center for Emergency Room patients at Renown Regional. Media is invited to tour the tent before it opens and learn more about how Renown Health physicians and staff are prepared to ensure the safety of patients, staff and our community. It's important to note there are no confirmed COVID-19 cases at Renown at this time. This deployable medical structure is simply a precautionary measure and adds a proactive level of protection if needed because Renown is committed to doing everything possible to protect patients, staff and community members. WHEN AND WHERE: Thursday, March 12 at 1 p.m. in the parking lot outside the Renown Regional Medical Center Emergency Room at 1155 Mill St, Reno, NV. All media must be escorted on hospital property. Mill Street Parking is most convenient. WHY: Due to increasing levels of respiratory illness in our community, as a way to manage influx and limit the exposure between individuals suspected of having respiratory illness and patients and care providers in other areas of the hospital, Renown Health worked with the State Public Health Preparedness to request a deployable medical facility through the Washoe County Emergency Manager. REMSA, the Reno Fire Department and Renown staff also play an integral role in setting up the tent and getting it ready with appropriate supplies. This proactive step to separate patients with symptoms of respiratory illness who need emergency medical care will protect patients in the Emergency Department and other areas of the hospital. Transmission of respiratory illness from patient to patient is not the only concern as healthcare workers can get sick, too. This is a precautionary step Renown is taking as a way we can further help protect patients, staff and community. Renown Regional Medical Center is the only certified Level II (2) trauma center between Sacramento, CA and Salt Lake City, UT. We receive and care for critically-ill and injured patients from as close as our Reno-Tahoe backyard and as far away as Mammoth Lakes, CA, as well as distant rural locations across northern and central Nevada. Additionally, Renown Regional Medical Center has successfully been re-verified as a Level II trauma center through Feb. 11, 2023 from the American College of Surgeons, continuing 30 years of certification. Renown Regional Medical Center has also been awarded the The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval® for Hospital Accreditation based on compliance with hospital standards related to emergency management, environment of care, infection prevention and control, leadership and medication management. Renown's Roseview, Sierra and Cardiac Intensive Care Units have each been awarded a Beacon Award of Excellence from the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) based on patient outcomes that exceed national benchmarks. Renown has the only intensive care units awarded this distinction in Nevada. WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING RESPIRATORY OR INFLUENZA-LIKE ILLNESS OR POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19:Renown is encouraging people to use online tools first, such as virtual visits covered by many insurance companies, including Teladoc, for those insured by Renown's health plan, Hometown Health. Renown Medical Group patients may also call the Respiratory Health screening line, free and available 24/7 at 775-982-5000 For up-to-date information on Renown's approach to keeping our community safe, visit our website at https://www.renown.org/covid-19/.

Renown Health Implements New Visitor And Respiratory Care Restrictions To Address COVID-19
Renown Health continues to monitor coronavirus (COVID-19) and ensure constant readiness by working closely with the Washoe County Health Department and staying informed of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updates.

If there are extenuating circumstances, we will allow one designated visitor per patient through controlled entrances at both hospitals from 4 to 9 p.m. No visitors under the age of 12 will be permitted. These new rules will allow one visitor to stay overnight with laboring mothers, NICU, pediatric and palliative care patients. Approved visitors will be subject to screening before entering by answering a series of questions about any recent symptoms of respiratory or influenza-like illness prior to entering a Renown facility. Access to Renown hospitals (Renown Regional Medical Center and Renown South Meadows Medical Center), is through the main entrances and the emergency room entrances only. Volunteers: For the safety of our volunteers, we have temporarily suspended volunteer operations at Renown until further notice.

And what do you the the SF'S will be??
Biarritz will either be 1st or 7th seed unless youcall the Saints/Biarritz match a draw.
Munster, Leinster, Llanelli Scarlets and Biarritz are all guaranteed their place in the Heineken Cup quarter-finals after this weekend's matches.
But four coveted places are up for grabs, with seven teams still in the hunt.
The six pool winners progress to the quarter-finals, where they will be joined by the two best runners-up.
Wasps took a big stride towards the last eight by beating Perpignan 22-14 at home on Saturday.
Lawrence Dallaglio's side denied Perpignan a losing bonus point to eliminate the French side from the equation.
And Wasps can now travel to Castres, who secured their expected comfortable win over Treviso, next week with the knowledge that a losing bonus point ought to be enough to take them through.
Leinster's comprehensive 49-10 win over Edinburgh guaranteed them top spot in the group and a place in the quarters.
But the Irish side will attempt to secure a home quarter-final when they travel to Kingsholm for their final pool match against Gloucester next weekend.
Agen ended Gloucester's hopes with a 26-18 at Stade Armandie, but results on Sunday mean the French side cannot qualify either.
This is the tightest of the six groups, but Stade Francais' last-minute penalty to draw their match against the Ospreys makes them strong favourites to go through.
Stade, who top the group by a point, face Italian minnows Calvisano in their final match where they will be expected to secure a bonus point.
Meanwhile, Ospreys take on Sale with both teams needing bonus-point wins to have any hopes of going through - and other results going their way.
Munster are certain of a place in the last eight. Although Leicester could pip them as group winners with victory next week, the Irish side's 22 points will definitely be good enough for at least a best runners-up spot.
But for Leicester to top the group and be sure of going through, the Tigers would have to do what no other team has done in Europe: go to Thomond Park and win.
A losing bonus point is unlikely to be enough for the Tigers, although it is still a mathematical possibility.
Llanelli Scarlets have proved the surprise package of the tournament and have guaranteed themselves a last eight place with a powerful away win over Ulster.
The Scarlets shrugged off the shocking conditions at Ravenhill to record a 35-11 win, following up their superb comeback win over Toulouse in the previous round of games.
The Welsh side made it five wins out of five in this year's tournament and they can ensure a home quarter-final with victory over London Irish next week.
As for once-mighty Toulouse, their hopes of a record fourth title have been extinguished, despite their 26-24 win over London Irish.
Biarritz, runners-up to Munster in last year's final, ensured qualification with a 45-3 victory over strugglers Parma on Friday for a fifth straight win in the competition.
And Northampton kept themselves on course for the last eight with a bonus-point win over Borders.
BO have a big advantage in playing last next weekend.
They will win their pool anyway as they will hardly suffer a BP loss.
Saints should be the weakest team in the quarters bya long long way.
I wouldn't worry much about playing Wasps at home either.
Interesting thought although I doubt it will happen.
From an Ospreys point of view I am hoping you destroy Leicester at the weekend not letting them get a losing bonus point , Cause if we beat Sale that will be enough for us to go through !!!!!

KARACHI: Legend, Pakistan's World Cup winning hockey goalkeeper Mansoor Ahmed's health condition has deteriorated again.
According to Newsone, doctors have placed Ahmed on life support as his lungs and heart were not functioning well otherwise.
The hockey legend has been suffering from heart ailment for the past three years and is currently undergoing treatment at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease.
Last month the hockey legend had said he wanted his surgery to be done in India as the facilities there were better than those offered in any other country.
However, the hockey legend was said to be cautious of the surgery in Pakistan as it would be the first of its kind in the country.
National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease's Dr Nadeem Qamar had said they are ready to perform the surgery on Ahmed, but if he is not comfortable then he could go to India.


Have you been thinking of listing your home, but aren't sure what you'd walk away with from the sale? Not sure if it would be worth it to sell?
You may be surprised. With the extended first time home buyer credit, sales are picking up in our market.
We have a tool that can tell you what your net proceeds would be if you decided to sell your home. Give us a call, or send us an email to find out what your home is worth today!
So, the tax credit has been extended, but what does this mean for our national market?
Well, we can tell you that existing home sales bouned back in September. The increase can be attributed to a rush of first-time buyers trying to claim the tax credit before November 30th. In all, sales jumped 9.4% to 5.57 million units over August sales of 5.09 million units. We're about 9.2% ahead of where we were last year, and sales activity is at its highest level since July of 2007.
According to Freddie Mac, fixed-rate loans are still hovering at about 5% APR. With excellent rates like these, and an extended first-time homebuyer incentive, we can look forward to watching home sales increase in the coming months.


If you want to use VaadinUI 1.0 with your maven project it's not an easy task because VaadinUI is not available via maven repositories - right now. But I want to show you an easy way to use VaadinUI 1.0 together with JVx Archetype 1.2.0.
This is not a perfect solution because jvxclient.jar will be added. This lib is not necessary because jvxall.jar is already available - but also not a problem!
Use the war project together with an application server in Eclipse and enter http://localhost/myproject/vaadinui/ in a web browser to start your application with VaadinUI - with debugging support. Create a war file, deploy it and it will work without problems.
Some months ago we were asked if we want to participate a pair programming experiment. The guy who asked was "Code-Cop". Of course, this is not his real name but it's easier for you to understand what he does. He is fanatic about code quality. He likes his code being in order, e.g. nicely formatted, readable, proper named, designed, tested etc. And trust me, these are not just words for him.
Read the full story about Code-Cop and his craftsmanship tour on his blog.
I did pair/xtreme programming in 2001 and thought it would be nice to do it again. But I thought it could be a risk because I found my own source style and defined my own quality standards over the years. I thought that my quality standard is very high and I'm a professional developer with a lot of experience. You could say that I have a lot of self-confidence... hm... not really bad. What I also learned over the years was that you can't be successful without changes. Every change is a risk because you learn/see something new and maybe you don't like it. But you don't know what you like until you've tried it. This is the most important experience - from my point of view.
We planned to work 3 days with Code-Cop. It was not clear if one person or two persons should work with Code-Cop. We wanted to use the experiment as mechanism of getting input from "outside". The more different perspectives, the better. We had many different tasks for the 3 days, but not all were good because I'm researcher and love playing around with new technologies/frameworks and products. If you do pair programming, you should develop.
I had one task that was open for a while and it frustrated me that it was open. It was the optimization of our JVx build process and fixing some failed test cases. Don't misunderstand me... I hate red test cases and my tests are always green, but it's boring if your tests are green on your developer engine but fail on the build server (different encoding, different OS, ...). Another bad thing was that the build ran about 80 minutes!
The problem were our unit tests because we mixed manual (performance, timeouts, ...) and automatic tests. My plan was a build time around 10 minutes.
We worked together on the same machine with a big external screen, two keyboards and two mice. The first day was a challenge because Code-Cop and I tried to find out who's the top dog Not that bad, but it was a big difference to work with another person on the same machine and the same problem (and it didn't help that we are ambitious and dominant). We had different ideas and sometimes different solutions for a problem. I tried to dominate the keyboard because I was used to. One tip: Don't do this, because you don't focus on the problem.
We had great discussions and smaller brainstormings about code quality. It was awesome.
From the second day, everything was in flow because the first day was to get to know the other person. We did our tasks and I had some extra tasks/ideas that could be useful.
The rest of the second day and the third day were reserved for Martin. It was funny to see them in action, because Martin got a "Mouser" and "Keyboarder". It was a long awaited dream of him - a person who understands what he think and can produce source code of his ideas. Of course, they had a tricky task and it wasn't possible to finish the task in two days, but Martin got some new ideas. And last but not least - they had fun!
All 3 days were awesome because Code-Cop was productive from the first minute. We didn't waste time to explain how our framework works. This only is possible if you work with geeks.
Use the keyboard and learn most important shortcuts of your IDE. You save time!
Don't think you are professional enough. There's always space, but be solution and practice-oriented.
The experiement was awesome and Code-Cop is a pro' geek. We had a great time and I can recommend such experiments.
The brand new preview version of VisionX 1.2 is available as trial and as cloud service. The preview version is not feature complete but contains a lot of new features and of course, many improvements.
It's awesome to design an application and see all changes live in your web application. One mouse click is enough to be amazed.
VisionX has support for native iOS and Android apps. This is a killer feature, because you design your application and your native app is ready without additional steps. We're still working on our native apps because they aren't available in app stores. This needs some additional time. But our open source clients work without problems!
The last VisionX versions had performance problems with (very) large databases. You had to wait about 10 minutes or more, to select a table. This was so frustrating. The performance is now better than ok. It works without delays!
We have new actions for tabset and component handling, for environment access (web, desktop, mobile) and much more.
We have new events for work-screens and tabsets.
Our old solution was loop oriented. Loops were used for iterating all records. You had no chance to get the value of a specific record. This is now possible. We now support following: [LOOP@storage#3][YEAR]/[MONTH][LOOP@storage#3]. This placeholder prints the value of YEAR and MONTH from the third record. The short syntax, for one single column is [storage#3!YEAR].
It's now possible to create trees with self-joined tables.
It's now possible to hide specific screens on specific environments, e.g. You won't see the user-management screen with html5 mode, but it'll be available in your desktop application. Don't create new roles or new users for that, simply change environment flags via menu management.
The wizard allows html5, mobile or desktop preview and shows additional information for manually previewing applications.
VisionX shows scannable QR Code for mobile preview mode.
Our new online help system supports full-text search and has a modern style.
Above list is not complete because we have about 250 changes in this version (most are new features).
Simply try the preview and send us your feedback. Every comment is welcome!
Our customers should check their download area!
Our new vaadin UI is available. It's the first release and it's awesome.
The binaries are available on SourceForge or via Maven central. We also updated our Archetype to version 1.2.0 and it should be available in Maven central in the next days.
We told you that the release contains about 90 tickets. The real number of changes is 123.
We did decide that version 1.2 is the last release before 2.0. It's not because of new killer features or big API changes.
The higher version number should represent the maturity of JVx.
JVx was started in 2008 and the low version numbers were fine for our own goals, but our users asked for bigger steps. If we compare our 1.2 with other frameworks, we could use 5.0 without problems.
The version 2.0 will be a smaller feature release that changes MetaData handling on server-side. We'll introduce a new caching mechanism that allows manual change of storage metadata.
We plan the release for the end of this year - without guarantee.
Currently, we don't fix bugs in old JVx releases. We only fix bugs in our development version. We offer nightly builds and maven snapshots and we thought that's enough, but some users want to keep old releases. No worries, we'll do our best to make you happy!
We'll be live on stage at W-JAX '13 in Munich.
Our session is scheduled for Tuesday, 5th November - 10:15 to 11:30.
Are there enough web and UI frameworks for us developers? Absolutely! There are really cool web UI frameworks like GXT or Vaadin. There are swing and JavaFX for desktop apps and many others. Don't forget all web frameworks! Which UI framework is the best for your next project and works with browsers and OS' in 5 or 10 years? Which investment is future save? The only solution is a technology and UI independent framework. Such a solution is JVx (Apache 2.0). It is a full-stack app framework, designed as library. Develop UI independent and decide which UI technology is best for you. If you prefer Swing, start your app as Swing Application. If it's Vaadin, use Vaadin. Don't rewrite your application, just choose the preferred UI technology!
This is an update of Project news.
We completely replaced our good old Java OnlineHelp (GXT version) with a new Vaadin implementation. It's based on Vaadin 7 and has some amazing new features, like full-text search. No worries, the new version supports the same file structure as our old version. The upgrade procedure is simple: Keep your structure directory and delete all other files. The binaries will be available in the next days.
We also removed all other GXT based projects because we switched the web technology. We think vaadin is the better choice and replaced our previous webUI with vaadinUI. Of course, it's not a 1:1 replacement but the first release is awesome. We'll release the binaries next week.
Our old webUI project is still alive because it contains our headlessUI. This project is still important and the base of our project JVx.mobile and some other projects that don't need a UI. This project makes it possible to start a JVx application on server-side. If you create REST or SOAP services, our headlessUI might be the right choice?
Our vaadinUI and headlessUI are sub projects of JVx!

30 October 2018 / budgetvertalingonline / Comments Off on Different for Girls: UK Lesbian Web Series
This weekend, the creators of Different for Girls will visit ClexaCon London. It was quite weird to me that I had never heard of this UK lesbian web series before, especially since Rachel Shelley is in it, who is my favorite The L Word actor. They were kind enough to send me a screener of the show so that I could properly prepare for ClexaCon London. I liked it so much that I thought I would share it here with you. I cannot be the only one who missed this show, can I?
Different for Girls started with a book
Different for Girls first was a book written by Jacquie Lawrence. You can find it on Amazon. It is funny; if you read the reviews, the reviewers often say that they want to see the book adapted to the screen or turned into a web series. Well, Jacquie Lawrence did just that.
According to Lesbian Box Office, which is a channel dedicated to programming lesbian and bisexual women's content set up by Jacquie and Fizz Milton, Jacquie realized that there had not been a lesbian-specific drama on British television since 2010 (Lip Service). Jacquie and Fizz understood that the only way to watch a drama with lesbian content was to make it themselves. And so, the 2015 book turned into this three-part web series in 2017.
Much information to process
If you search for Different for Girls online, you will find articles describing the show as 'your new favorite lesbian soap opera,' 'the antidote to TV's treatment of LGBT characters,' and 'addictive & mesmerizing.' Now that makes me feel even more stupid for not knowing about Different for Girls, but let us not dwell on that.
The show starts in an incredibly confusing way. In the first fifteen minutes, you will see some fight, love, drug use, and vomiting scenes rapidly succeeding each other. In these scenes, you will meet every character on the show. To be clear, there are quite a few characters on the show. The Amazon reviewers are right when they said they needed some time to figure out who was who and who was dating whom.
Still, you immediately know that this something you want to get into. You want to know the answers to who is who and what is happening. There is much information to process but the rest of the show will slowly make it clear to you. Also, rewatching the first fifteen minutes after watching the entire series is helpful.
An underrepresented age category
I am so very, very happy that this show revolves around women my age. If you want to know, I am in my thirties. I usually have to watch teens or people in their twenties when I want to watch a lesbian-themed show. That is fun but at the same time, it seems like the moment I got married and had a kid, I gave up on an exciting life. Apparently, content creators do not think we can handle adventures after we had our thirtieth birthday or wedding day.
Different for Girls shows women who are about to get married or have kids or who have young kids already. This web series aims to "represent lesbians who live in the suburbs, who are more likely to meet their future partners at the school gates than at a club in Soho," as Jacquie said. That does not mean you will not see any drinks, drugs or sex…
That being said, I do feel sad that when you finally see two married women, the story centers around cheating and being cheated on. Where are our adventures? Still, I understand that the other storylines revolve mostly around relationships too, so it is not like they saved that for the married women.
Also, I sometimes felt moments of the storylines were a little far-fetched. I now understand why some would call Different for Girls a soap opera. So much is happening in such a short amount of time. I noticed that I did feel inclined to ask myself the questions of would I or would I not? How would I respond in these situations? That means I was still emotionally involved, so that proves the quality of this web series and the incredibly talented actors.
More to come?
The story leaves a few openings for another season of Different for Girls. I honestly would like to see the second season of this web series. Who knows, I might be able to find out more at ClexaCon London. You can watch Different for Girls on Lesbian Box Office, where you can rent or buy it. I hope can show you some ClexaCon Different for Girls footage on my YouTube channel in a few weeks, so make sure to subscribe!
Update February 19, 2019: Here, you can read my interview with the writer and producer of Different for Girls.

Looking on the Bright Side, June 3, 2015
Code Red was declared on Monday when the Wall went missing. The Wall Lake Geneva needs to guard it and the Wall all depend on to defend and maintain peace and tranquility at city meetings was suddenly gone and many were in fear of hostilities suddenly erupting.
No, we're not talking about the Wall between the U.S. and Cuba that Jack Nicholson defended as, Colonel Jessep, in a Few Good Men from the 4000 Cubans trained to kill us– the big Wall that supposedly separated the good guys from the bad guys. It's true that the Wall between Cuba and the US was at long last taken down Monday by the US Government in order to normalize relations with Cuba,
The Wall referred to here Jeff Wall, the alderman who separates Sarah Hill from Elizabeth Chappell on the City Council. Every Monday night the City of Lake Geneva depends on Jeff Wall to be the Wall to keep Sarah and Elizabeth from going eyeball-to-eyeball and possibly quite literally breaking into a 'cat fight.' Jeff was missing on Monday, which left only "Cordite" Kordus to sit between the two scrappers. Cordite is rather easy to see through though and doesn't offer much protection for anyone, let alone the two most intelligent and expressive city council members.
Sarah Hill has two scalps on her belt now that Dennis Jordan and Crispell Snyder have been sent packing. It is hoped that Alderperson Chappell will not be the third scalp since Sarah missed out on getting that scalp by trying to muzzle the pesky yapping mouths who attend meetings but are really "carpet baggers" from the Town of Linn. (Side Note! It appeared to all the world that our reporter got a little wink from Sarah Hill Monday night when she recommended the new City Administrator (Blaine Oborn) get together with Darien Schaeffer of the Chamber of Commerce to work on new plans for the city. The easy going and ever willing Sarah also offered her services to aid in helping the men along.).
Sarah Hill insisted that Utah Blaine needed more time to get to know the players and give the council more time to get "our ducks in a row" and find a popular celebrity to "sell it" such as Tony Robins. Sell what? Well, the takeover of the conflated Chamber due to it storming and vanquishing the BID group.
And then there's the ever-present ghost of Ron Carstensen making its way back. The council is looking at changing the salt ordinance from 80/20 to something lower (more salt); Kordus claims the council can make recommendations based on the "imaginary" study from this past year; he also said the city would "use less salt if it was straight salt." It is supposed from thinking about Cordite's comment that there is some qualitative difference between straight and gay mixes of salt. Food for thought (with a touch of salt on it, of course).
Both Chappell and Hill agreed on something, as they realized the employees of the city have not been given a wage increase yet for 2015 even though it was been budgeted. Hill wants one and a half percent or two while Chappell thinks one might be enough. Hill insists a budget resolution needs to be brought to the council about this problem, although nobody seemed to know why. Maybe the money for the city employees has already been directed toward the new Corn on the Cobb outfit.

Job seekers aged between 18 and 24 are most likely to be targeted by this scam, with victims losing around £4,000 on average. Use our tips to avoid job scams.
What shouldn't I put on my CV?
More than two thirds of us are now going online to look for employment, according to Safer Jobs – an organisation set up by the Metropolitan Police to help combat employment fraud.
But as more and more of us use the internet to search for new job opportunities, this has also opened the door to fraudsters.
Fraudsters often recruit for a 'dream job', advertising roles with a starting salary of around £100,000 that require few qualifications, skills or experience.
Sound too good to be true? Unfortunately, that's because it most probably is.
Looking for a new job can be both stressful and exciting with individuals eager to believe the perfect job is out there for them – even if it sounds unlikely or unrealistic.
According to a survey carried out by Safer Jobs, 98% of respondents said that even if they were suspicious of a job advert, they would continue with an application despite feeling the job may not be legitimate.
This could be due to people feeling overly hopeful or optimistic that despite suspicions, the job may still be real.
When you're focussed on getting a new job, the desire to believe that something is legitimate is very strong, which is what the fraudsters rely on.
Some people have even turned up to the workplace ready to start their new job only to find that the employer has never heard of them.
again for overseas jobs, fraudsters ask you to pay for travel-agent fees.
In some cases, job seekers will be duped into going through a fake interview on the phone, which could last up to an hour at a cost of hundreds of pounds.
you're asked to buy office equipment and ship it to a specific address, or cash a cheque not knowing you're actually committing a crime in the process.
fraudsters may also ask for your bank account details to set up salary payments. They will use these details to steal money from your account.
While you will want to sell yourself and impress future employers/recruiters, providing too much personal information could leave you vulnerable to scams.
Too much personal information could lead to identity theft, where fraudsters can obtain your details, steal your identity and spend your money, take out loans or buy goods in your name.
Who's targeted by job scams?
Alarmingly, almost three quarters of job hunters admit they wouldn't recognise the signs of a job scam.
According to Action Fraud, job seekers aged between 18 and 24 are the most likely to be targeted by job scams, losing around £4,000 on average.
If you think you've been scammed, you must stop all communication with the scammers immediately.
If you can, take a note of their details and report them to Action Fraud.
If you've given them any money or shared your bank account details with them, contact your bank immediately.
You should also report the attempted scam to any website where you've listed your CV.
Be suspicious if the employer or agent provides a webmail email address such as @yahoo or @hotmail as a point of contact.
Check official records on websites such as companies house or overseas registries to confirm that the organisation offering you the job actually exists. If it does, contact the organisation directly through officially listed contact details to confirm the job offer is genuine.
If you're in discussion about a job abroad, ask the embassy representing the country where you believe you will be working how to obtain a visa and how much it costs. Check that the answers the potential employer gives you are the same – if they're not, it's a strong indication of fraud.
Tell the employer that you will make your own travel and accommodation arrangements. Beware if they try hard to dissuade you, or tell you that you have to use the agency they refer you to.
