Dashkasan () is a city, municipality and the capital of the Dashkasan District of Azerbaijan. It has a population of 10,801. The municipality consists of the city of Dashkasan and the village of Alunitdağ.

Etymology
The official Azerbaijani name of the settlement is Dashkasan, which translated from Azerbaijani means "cutting stone" (Daş - stone, kesan - cut, cut).

In the northeast and south of the city are the former Armenian villages of Upper Karhat and Lower Karhat, whose Azerbaijani names are Yuxarı Daşkasan and Aşağı Daşkasan.

History
Daskasan received the status of a city օn March 16, 1948․

The mountains of Dashkasan were used as pastures for a long time. The most beautiful pastures of the South Caucasus are located here and in Khoshbulag. Khoshbulag was inhabited by the primitive people in the Stone Age whose main engagement was hunting. In the 3rd century B.C. people engaged in animal breeding rose to Khoshbulag pastures. The tradition is followed up today.
Dashkasan summer pastures are 2000 m high from sea level. Different animal-breeding tribes settled here and built Cyclops-like small towers to protect themselves from attacks. Since that period Dashkasan turned to the place of settlement.

Tumuli type burying monuments found in the archaeological digs carried out in 1959–1960 in the places of ancient settlement in Dashkasan show that people used this area as summer pastures and there was only one way to those pastures in summer- north-east, the valley of the river Kur.

The Middle Ages in Dashkasan are characterized with the development of cultural work.

After World War II Dashkasan was turned to an industrial town due to mining of iron ore deposits. It began to form on the basis of a temporary settlement of builders and a small mining settlement that arose during the period of preparation for the development of the richest iron ore deposits of industrial importance. In 1948 it received city status.

The region Dashkasan is very rich in natural resources. In the period of the Soviet Union the so-called strategic products of the region, i.e., ironstone, aluminum, cobalt, marble and others were actively exploited.

Many of the buildings in present-day Dashkasan were constructed by German POWs during the aftermath of World War II.  Workers that died during the city's construction are buried in a German cemetery alongside the road between Dashkasan and Gəncə.

In the northeast and south of the city are the former Armenian villages of Upper Karhat and Lower Karhat, whose Azerbaijani names are Yuxarı Daşkasan and Aşağı Daşkasan.

Lower Karhat
The village is situated on the southeast-facing slope of a gorge lying on the left bank of the river Artinajur, a kilometre east of the district centre, at an altitude of 1,280 to 1,380 metres above sea level. It retains some burial mounds dating back to the period between the Bronze and Iron Ages, as attested by the results of excavations conducted there.

The monuments of material culture preserved in its territory prove that it has existed since at least the Middle Ages, although the earliest sources mentioning it date from the 17th century, when it became a scriptorium. There are 6 manuscripts that have reached us or are known. According to a record from 1691, a certain Hakob was Head of Karhat village.

Economy
The name of Karhat indicates what the local business was: it is composed of the word 'kar,' (Armenian for 'stone,') and the root 'hat' of the verb 'hatel,' i.e. (Armenian for 'to quarry.')

The locals used to extract iron ore and obtain iron, but when iron imported from Russia proved far cheaper, they gave it up.

By the second half of the 19th century, the number of the Karhat Armenians engaged in husbandry was reduced because of the appropriation of most of the village lands by the Siemens German Company.

Between 1894 and 1895, some of the local Armenians founded another village in the area of the upper course of the river Artinajur, 4 kilometres south-west of their previous place of living. It was called Verin (i.e. 'Upper') Karhat while the old village which was later renamed Nerkin (i.e. 'Lower') Karhat.

Education
In 1905, when the Tsarist Government had granted permission to Armenian educational institutions to resume their activity, the Armenians of Karhat convened a meeting on September 27 of the same year and decided to found a one-year school. Gandzak inhabitant Mrs. Yeghisabet N. Hambardzumian Malkhassiants sponsored the construction of that school in memory of her late husband Stepanos Malkhassiants.

St. Stepanossian Unisex School opened in 1908. That year, the school had 54 pupils. In 1909, the school had a single teacher and 70 schoolchildren, including 4 girls. In 1911, the school had 82 pupils of which 6 were girls and 2 teachers. In 1913, the school closed since it had no teachers.

Culture
According to some manuscripts, Karhat had two churches: St. Hakob church, mentioned in 1656, and Sourb Astvatsatsin church (demolished in 1927), mentioned in 1656 and 1659. A great number of documents dating from before 1878 (1849, 1852, 1861, 1872, 1878) attest that the village had a church with a wooden roof called St. Stepanos. From 1882 (1882, 1885), the same sanctuary is known as a stone monument dedicated to the Holy Virgin.

In the centre of the village, there are inscribed cross-stones dating from the 9th to 11th centuries.

A khachkar called Gyozal Kar (i.e. Beautiful Stone) was located where the village started. Later the inhabitants of Karhat moved that valuable cross-stone to the centre of the village, where it stood until the deportation of Armenians in 1989.

Hardly a kilometre south of the village, there is a small medieval building towering at the top of a rock, the fort of Ghala. It has a semi-circular tower in the north-west.

Population

Upper Karhat
It is located on the left-hand side of the Artinajur river, at an altitude of 1480-1640m above sea level.

There are khachkars found in the village of Upper Karhat, dating back to the 10-11th centuries. The village got its name "Upper Karhat" in 1895 when the Armenian of Lower Karhat moved there.

Education
Upper Karhat school opened 1908 as a co-ed institution and had 70 students, 4 of which were girls.

In the 1911-1912 school year, the school operated with a three-year course, had 3 classes, 26 male students, 3 female students, and 2 teachers (Aram Papyants, Ishkhan Hayryants).

Culture
The church of Verin Karhat was built on the eastern edge of the village at the left mouth of Artinajr river. The building of the chւռցհ was consecrated with the name of Holy Translator. In 1914, the spiritual authorities satisfied the request of the village residents to repair the roof of the church. The church was destroyed in the 1920s.

1. Goshen School Building Marker
Goshen School Building. . . Side A . In 1907, the Goshen School Building, later known as both Goshen Intermediate School and Sheila Green Elementary, was erected. The two-story, buff-colored, pressed-brick building was the first attempt at school consolidation in Goshen Township. The last of twelve one-room schools was closed in 1916 and students transferred to the Goshen School Building. As a result of the consolidation, four rooms were added. In 1930, a free-standing auditorium/gymnasium was built next to the 1907 building. Approval of the first bond issue, in 1937, made possible twelve new classrooms and the renovation of the building.
Side B . To alleviate overcrowding, Marr Primary School was built in 1954. A new high school, which later became the middle school, opened in 1960. Cook Elementary School opened in 1968. A new junior high school, which later became Spaulding Elementary School, opened in 1976. In spring 2002, students attended classes in the Goshen School Building for the last time. The opening of a new high school in fall 2002 continued the Goshen Township community's support for the education of young people. The Goshen School Building was dismantled in fall 2013. .

Katie and I made this yesterday evening for dinner, using radicchio from my CSA box and parsley and lemon from the garden. It was easy, relatively quick, and delicious (though it did need a fair bit of seasoning, particularly with salt). It would also stand up well, I think, to additions and substitutions: garlic, crushed red pepper, pancetta if you're so inclined, lemon zest in the pesto, and so on. Katie was tasked with making the pesto, and she was rather heavy-handed with the cheese and walnuts, so this version will differ a bit from what's written up at the link.
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet or pot (one with a lid) over medium-high heat. Add leeks and season generously with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until leeks are tender and beginning to brown, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
While the leeks cook, puree parsley, cheese, walnuts, lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons oil in food processor until coarse paste forms. Season pesto with salt and pepper. Add pasta, pesto, and radicchio to leeks and toss to combine, adding cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if dry. Garnish with extra Parmigiano and serve.
This post feels a little lonely, so I wanted to give it some love.
Your family might be okay with this one. There's no garlic or basil in this recipe, and the flavors that most come through are parsley, lemon, and the cheese. It's sort of a pesto for people who don't like traditional pesto.
Still, perhaps best to wait until you have some pesto lovers. Then your family can see what they're missing before they dive in!

Astrophysicist Adam Frank recently commented on NPR that climate change really is not really humanity's fault. The crux of his argument is that while the science is settled that human activity has caused climate change, we really could not have known better. Clearly there is some real truth in this assertion. To quote from the article:
But here's the crux of the issue: 150 years ago when we started building that fossil-fuel based civilization, we had no idea of what we were doing. We'd found this black goo seeping up from the ground and it turned out you could do awesome things with it. In the winter, you could burn it in a furnace and keep your house warm. In the summer, you could burn it in a power plant and use the electricity to keep your house cool. You could also burn it in an internal combustion engine and travel hundreds of miles in a single day. And all that electricity you were generating from the power plant? You could use that to keep the lights on at night and watch moving pictures of stuff happening on the other side of the planet.
New Mexico's largest electric provider — the coal-fired San Juan Generating Station near Farmington — has been defending a plan to replace part of an aging coal-fired power plant with a mix of more coal, natural gas, nuclear and solar power.
Susan Montoya Bryan/AP & NPR website.
At the outset of large scale fossil fuel utilization and into the 20th century this point is fair. But we must consider the case of Exxon, for example has worked to undermine climate science including widespread dissemination of both its own scientific findings as well as those of other groups. According to the New York Times:
So, even as one in-house memo stated that "fossil fuels contribute most of the CO2" that was turning the earth into an overheated greenhouse, another memo showed that the company would seek to "emphasize the uncertainty in scientific conclusions.
Other major players in Big Oil very likely done same. And quite naturally politicians in the House Science Committee (under the chairmanship of Lamar Smith, R-TX) who take large contributions from Big Oil are using sweeping new congressional protocols modeled on the open-ended Benghazi hearings, to harass and intimidate climate researchers. Dr Frank argues that its time to go beyond narratives of greed. Maybe not quite yet. While we all strive to avoid ad hominem, it seems greed driven attacks risk damaging the basic process by which our nation funds basic research. As David Roberts points out in an very thorough post at Vox:
To be clear, Smith has not alleged any corruption, wrongdoing, or even bad science. He hasn't alleged anything. Nor has he offered any justification for why he needs access to NOAA internal communications. The new rules mean that he no longer has to explain or justify himself to anyone. He's just hoping to find something he can use.
So, while Dr. Frank's point has merit, and invective isn't likely to help much its important we understand its not other factors, and indeed putting profit before future generations apply now as well as to the late 20th century. Because as he stated:
That's because the real truth is this: While triggering climate change might not be our fault, not doing everything we can about it now that we know it's happening — that would be our fault. Worse, it would be our failure as a species.

One of the most difficult challenges facing the HTM field is attracting professionals to join the profession. This is also true of educators trying to recruit students into their HTM programs. This isn't a unique challenge facing only HTM. I find it to be the case for most of our college programs and for the same reasons that I will mention in this article. When the economy is strong and unemployment is low, we have difficulty recruiting.
For the past several years, AAMI has put considerable effort into helping address this issue. With the help of HTM leaders in the field, AAMI has developed videos, promoted the profession in radio interviews, created brochures for all of us to distribute at career days and developed an IamHTM.org website where many free resources are located. AAMI has also become the lead society for accrediting HTM educational programs within the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC-ABET). In addition, AAMI has created a task force within the Technology Management Council to continue to focus on the issue, and recently hosted a Future Forum IV event that focused on the challenge of recruiting HTM professionals into the field.
I had the privilege to participate in the Future Forum IV event, a two-day event held at AAMI headquarters where constituents from AAMI membership were well represented. It was remarkable to meet with people from all areas of HTM and to put our heads together to further our work toward a solution to this problem. It became clear that there is no simple solution to the problem and it will take some thinking outside of the box to be successful.
Initially, I thought that if we could all recruit a large number of students into our programs we would be able to solve this shortage of HTM professionals. The shortages that I'm really referring to are technicians at the associate and bachelor's degree level. Now, I'm not sure that this is the solution.
In my experiences in the community college environment, most students do not want to relocate. Many are mid-life career changers, have spouses with jobs locally and have children in school. This becomes a big challenge. If I was able to recruit a large number of students into my program, I wouldn't be able to place all of them into co-operative education positions while they are in school. There wouldn't be enough open positions locally for everyone. In my opinion, if graduates would be willing to relocate, they would have it made. However, that's not generally their preference.
It became clear in the Future Forum IV meeting that most educators around the country are experiencing the same problem with students not wishing to relocate. We need to figure out a way to enable many more HTM programs to open in areas without programs close by. The first thing to remember is that HTM programs are expensive with equipment requirements and other expenses. Most HTM programs tend to be small in comparison to other programs within the college. College administrators are generally not interested in funding programs like this. For a long time, I have been thinking that maybe AAMI can help in that area.
I'm currently talking with AAMI University about offering HTM courses online that could be add-on courses to programs that are offered at many more colleges than have HTM programs. We are in the beginning stages of trying to figure out if this is feasible. My suggestion is that if a local college offers an electronics or electro-mechanical program they could have any interested students also take the AAMI HTM courses that would give them biomedical instrumentation experience. There are many colleges with electronics-related programs that do not have an HTM program. I also recommend that these students partner with a local hospital to do laboratory experiments that AAMI would provide as part of the course work. I would also like to note that there currently are colleges that offer HTM courses online for anyone to take.
There are hospitals and health care organizations that hire people without formal biomedical instrumentation experience. They have an electronics and troubleshooting background, but lack formal training in HTM. This online arrangement from AAMI would be helpful to this group.
I feel that educating HTM professionals is an area where we have always looked at new and innovative ways to provide students with needed information.
We have to be open to new ideas and be willing to use new modalities for delivering instruction. We also have to be willing to use them to recruit for our field.
Remember, when we go to work each day we have the opportunity to change people's lives for the better. When we recruit someone new into our field, we are changing their life for the better. We are helping them to embark on a rewarding and exciting career that they can be excited about for years to come.

Brian Clough: The best manager England never had? Part Two
David Nesbit
Last time we looked at the playing career of Brian Clough with his first forays into management with Hartlepool United in the old Fourth Division. This time out we will examine in detail his partnership with Peter Taylor at Derby County and the unprecedented success the men achieved together at the Baseball Ground. We will also examine some incidents that may well have had a bearing on the FA's ultimate reluctance to trust Clough with the England job a few years later.
Derby is where Clough made his name and showed himself to be one of football's most outstanding managers of all time. What he achieved there, with Taylor alongside, will never be forgotten even though later he arguably surpassed those achievements with Nottingham Forest.
At Derby, he inherited a team that had finished 17th in the Second Division and then promptly led them to an 18th place finish the next season! This was an aberration, however, and the Second Division title was won comfortably the next season, 1968-69, and 4th and 9th place finishes in the first division followed in the next two seasons.
1971-72 was a momentous season for Clough and Derby, locked as they were in a five-way battle for the league championship alongside Leeds, Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs. It really was a titanic race for the title which went right down to the wire, and the last games of the season held simultaneously on the Monday night after the FA Cup final.
At different points on the run-in Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester City in particular, had appeared to hold the initiative only to let it slip.
City had been top of the league and bombing along until Malcolm Allison, who had recently been promoted to manager from the position of coach, had signed the mercurial Rodney Marsh. According to conventional wisdom, upset the balance of the team causing City to blow their lead and allow themselves to be overhauled.
Liverpool had then seemingly grasped the nettle, and with two games to go were in a great position to take the title, only to lose 1-0 to a late goal in their crucial penultimate game at Clough's Derby.
This victory was Derby's last match and it put them top of the table, but Leeds and Liverpool both had one more game to play. To take the title Leeds needed a point away to Wolves on the aforementioned Monday after their FA Cup final success against Arsenal. If they failed to do so then Liverpool could take the title by winning at Highbury on the same night.
Much later Clough admitted he thought Leeds would take the title, but at the time he voiced no such fears as he took himself and his family off on holiday to the Scilly Isles. Simultaneously, Taylor took the Derby team to Majorca. It was in these respective holiday destinations that they got the news they had been waiting for: Leeds had lost, Liverpool had drawn and Derby were champions.
Brian Clough always felt that this title win didn't get the credit it deserved as many pundits made the case that Derby did not so much win the title. More so that, Leeds and Liverpool had thrown it away. Incensed by this lack of respect, Clough, quite reasonably, pointed out that all teams had played the same number of games home and away and his side had come out on top. There was nothing undeserving about that, he reasoned.
It is interesting to note that both the Leeds and the Liverpool games were later subjected to allegations of bribery attempts. It was said, and vehemently denied, that Don Revie had offered some Wolves players inducements to take things easy at Molineux. Many years later allegations were made that unnamed Arsenal player(s) had approached a senior Liverpool player and let it be known that they too would be willing to take their feet off the pedal if the price was right. This senior Liverpool player is then alleged to have informed one or more of his also-senior team-mates who pointedly refused to believe such an approach had been made. It was never mentioned to the rest of the team or anyone else until thirty-five years later.
The next season saw Derby enter the European Cup as English champions and progress to the semi-final where they were beaten in somewhat controversial circumstances by Juventus, who went on to lose to Ajax in the final. That season Derby finished 7th in the defence of their league title.
In October 1973, Clough and Taylor resigned from Derby after disagreements with the board and in particular with Sam Longson.
Again, these are the bare statistics only, and, as with almost every other aspect of the Brian Clough story, there was a lot more to his time at Derby than bare stats.
Derby were in poor shape when Clough and Taylor bowled into the place in the summer of 1967. They had finished the 1966-67 season in seventeenth place, a finish which had led to manager Tim Ward being relieved of his position and Clough, with Taylor, being installed.
Clough said he was shocked by just how bad the squad they had inherited were, and he set about ringing the changes. Amongst the first signings they made were goalkeeper Les Green from Burton, John O' Hare from Sunderland, Tranmere's Roy McFarland, who Clough and Taylor stole from under the noses of the two larger Merseyside clubs, and Alan Hinton from Nottingham Forest. These signings formed the basis of a totally new side and prompted the confident Clough to declare on the eve of the 1967-68 season that the club would finish higher than they had the year before: they finished eighteenth.
Clough and Taylor were undeterred. The basics were in place, they reasoned, and with just another one or two signings there would be no stopping them. One of them was Willie Carlin, an aggressive midfielder signed from Sheffield United. The other was the legendary Dave Mackay, the skipper of 'the double' winning Spurs team who Clough somehow persuaded to come and sign for him. Moving to a struggling second division team in preference to returning to Scotland and taking up the offered post of assistant manager at Hearts was an achievement.
The signing of Mackay was the one Clough considered to be the best of his career. He said that Mackay gave so much to Derby and was so instrumental in transforming the club into what they were become, that nobody else he ever signed had a chance of matching him in his estimation.
With a completely new team, and Mackay playing sweeper, Derby swept to the Second Division title in 1968-69.
Once in the First Division, Derby continued to attack sides and finished their first season back in the top-flight in a more than creditable fourth place. The following season saw, on paper anyway, a bit of a backward step as Derby were unable to finish any higher than ninth, but more signings were made. The final links were added in Colin Todd and Archie Gemmill, and Derby so took the title in 1971-72. Cloughie could do no wrong.
Actually, he could. Success on the field was being accompanied by controversy off it within the walls of Derby's old Baseball Ground. Clough and Taylor were no longer seeing eye-to-eye with chairman Longson and the two factions were heading for a collision.
Brian Clough and Peter Taylor had the happy knack of being able to spot a player with ability; someone who would improve on what they already had and take their club to the next level. Unfortunately, they did not also possess the knack to realise that their chairman might like to be at least informed of potential signings rather than having them presented as a done deal once the deed had been done. Both Gemmill and Todd, despite being excellent players were, without the prior knowledge of anyone on Derby's board, signed by Clough who then sent Longson a telegram thus: "Have signed Todd. We're almost bankrupt. Love Brian."
Funny? Yes, no doubt. Irrelevant? You got it? Wise and with far-reaching consequences? Hmmmm…
As he would say himself many times, Clough (and Taylor) didn't care who they upset. Their club, with them at the helm, was on the march and they felt they were indestructible. They had taken Derby from the depths of the Second Division to the peaks of the English game and now they were going to embark on a real go for the European Cup. They were the football men and Longson and his ilk were the businessmen, never the twain should meet, thought they.
Many years later Cloughie would write in his autobiography that he could, at last, see Longson's point of view and that he and Taylor had got carried away with themselves. They had become arrogant and filled with the sense of their own importance and should have tried to understand.
Clough and Taylor would walk away from Derby in October 1973 after tendering their resignations and, to their amazement, having them accepted by Longson and the board who called their bluff. Clough later described this folly as the 'worst mistake of his life'.
It is entirely possible that the whole period and scenario cost Clough not only his job at his beloved Derby but also the chance to realise his ultimate dream of managing England.
Clough was young, brash and headstrong. He knew he was good at what he did and he wasn't afraid to say so. He refused to be intimidated by anyone or to toe the line in any situation in which he didn't want to. He knew he was valued by Derby, but he overestimated by how much and it was this error that ended up costing him dearly.
As happy and successful as he was as manager at Derby, he flirted with, and some would say encouraged overtures from, other clubs and positions. He and Taylor 'resigned' to take up positions at Coventry before 'changing their mind' and they also had talks with regard to taking over the Iranian national team. Each time they were 'persuaded' to stay at Derby. So when they resigned again in October 1973, in what Clough later admitted was a bluff designed to force the board's hand to back them in their on-going row with Longson, they had every expectation that once again they would win the battle. Instead, the board called their bluff, accepted their resignations and won the war.
Clough had also made waves and enemies outside the Baseball Ground's boardroom. He had managed to upset not only the FA but also such footballing luminaries as Don Revie and Sir Matt Busby. He had been prominent on television while he was running Derby and had been extremely outspoken and critical of the footballing hierarchy in the country at that time, in particular, the FA. He had spoken out at length in critical style at the tactics and methods employed by Don Revie's all-conquering Leeds team and the FA's subsequent lack of action taken in response to Leeds' awful disciplinary record, stating that Leeds should have been demoted to the Second Division 'for cheating'.
The 'Ian Storey-Moore incident' left a bad taste in the mouth of Sir Matt Busby and wouldn't have helped Cloughie's later England chances given the fact that Sir Matt would turn out to be on the FA interview panel. Storey-Moore was set to sign for Manchester United from Nottingham Forest and may have even already done so when in the words of Clough he was 'kidnapped' and paraded at the Baseball Ground as Derby's latest signing. Busby and the FA were not amused and Clough was fined $5000, and the player ended up at United anyway.
The most controversial happening of all and one which almost certainly contributed to ending any realistic hopes of Clough ever becoming manager of England occurred when Derby met Juventus in the semi-final of the 1972-73 European Cup.
Whatever the merits of Clough and his achievements at Derby and later Nottingham Forest, were the FA ever really going to take a chance on appointing as manager of the national team someone who had described opponents as 'cheating ***** Italian bastards'?
It was thus that Juventus found themselves labeled after a highly contentious game in Turin in March 1973, but it has to be said Clough did seem to have a point! The referee, from West Germany, appeared to give decision after decision against Derby, which included the cautions of Gemmill and McFarland who by receiving their second cautions of the tournament would now be ruled out of the crucial second leg at Derby by suspension.
According to Clough, one of the Juventus substitutes, Haller, also German, was seen going into the referee's room both before the game and again at half time, and although UEFA held an enquiry long after the event, the investigation uncovered no evidence of wrongdoing. Just strong allegations of attempts to bribe the referee that just wouldn't, and won't, go away.
To this day there is a strong feeling of at least unease in many quarters regarding the Juventus – Derby match of March 1973, and Clough and Taylor both certainly went to their graves believing they had been 'cheated'.
That as may be, Clough's comments and reaction, probably ruled out any chance of him being considered for the England job in the summer of 1974 when a successor to Sir Alf Ramsey was being sought and would have still held great bearing during the selection process three-and-a-half years later after Revie's defection.
In the next installment of the series, we will consider in more detail Clough's claim to the England position when he was interviewed for the job in 1977. We will also look at the man's achievements in club football after leaving Derby.

Freed activist Wong vows to fight 'evil' law in Hong Kong
Joshua Wong: Called for Lam to step down as Hong Kong leader. Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images
Farah Master
ACTIVIST Joshua Wong, who has become the face of Hong Kong's push for full democracy, walked free from prison yesterday and vowed to join a mass protest movement demanding that the city's leader Carrie Lam steps down.
https://www.independent.ie/world-news/asia-pacific/freed-activist-wong-vows-to-fight-evil-law-in-hong-kong-38229059.html
https://www.independent.ie/incoming/article38228752.ece/fdaac/AUTOCROP/h342/23Freed.jpg
His release comes as a political crisis in the Chinese-ruled city enters its second week, amid growing uncertainty over the fate of Ms Lam and an extradition bill she postponed at the weekend after it triggered one of the most violent protests in decades.
"I will join to fight against this evil law," said Mr Wong (22), one of the leaders of the 2014 'Umbrella' pro-democracy protests that blocked major roads in Hong Kong for 79 days. "I believe this is the time for her, Carrie Lam the liar, to step down."
The crisis escalated during Mr Wong's five-week jail term for contempt of court.
Until this month, the failure of the 'Umbrella' protests to wrest concessions from Beijing, coupled with prosecutions of at least 100 protesters, had discouraged many young people from going back out on the streets.
The upheaval comes at a delicate time for Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is grappling with a US trade war, an ebbing economy and regional strategic tension.
Many residents of Hong Kong are unnerved by Beijing's tightening grip and what they see as the erosion of its freedoms, fearing that changes to the rule of law could imperil its status as a global financial centre.
Hong Kong has been governed under a "one country, two systems" formula since its return to Beijing, allowing freedoms not granted to the mainland, but short of a fully democratic vote.
Protest organisers said almost two million people turned out on Sunday to demand that Ms Lam resign, in what is becoming the most significant challenge to China's relationship with the territory since it was handed back by Britain 22 years ago.
On Monday, protest organisers said they wanted Ms Lam to withdraw the bill, release arrested students, drop the official description of Wednesday's rally as a riot, and step down.

Frederick John Watson was a Canadian fashion illustrator and painter from Barrie, Ontario. He is best known for his international paintings of women, fashion illustrations and theater and Art Deco posters. He has also created a fine art print collection of stylized women reminiscent of the Art Deco style. The start of inspiration for his work came from a woman he saw on Madison Avenue in New York City, wearing black, high heels, a diamond brooch, and carrying an umbrella.

Biography
Frederick Watson was born to a farm family in Barrie, Ontario. His father worked in the air force as a pilot and not around much.  After moving to Toronto in his early 20's, before becoming an illustrator, he worked at Simpsons for five years. One morning, a mysteriously dressed woman came in with an open portfolio and checked in her coat before going shopping. From the contents of that portfolio, his love for fashion was born. Watson's first official show was the Alexander gallery in New York City. His style was heavily impacted by years of studying the design of art deco and marketing illustration materials. His pencil work was first recognized in magazines such as theatrical and glamour posters, which went on to become valued collector's items on the Toronto art scene. He was an actor for a while but ended up deciding it wasn't for him. He also took up tap dancing for the Fred Astaire company in Toronto but ultimately went back to his passion of fashion drawing. Watson drew mice for a Christmas ad which would go on to be his first project.

His mother's red hair may have been a precursor to his art career and served as an inspiration for many of his artworks. Watson found inspiration and beauty in the rarest of places. From toe dancing at Eaton's Auditorium (The Carlu) in Toronto, to horseback riding, to his Canadian hometown to performing at Museum theatre Harlequin in Toronto; no matter what he was doing, he always knew that inside he was an artist. His mentor, Jean Miller, illustrator for the Robert Simpson Co., is who he credits for getting him started in fashion illustrations in 1957. Frederick Watson was a man with an eye for beauty and the ability to transport all of his viewers into a world of glamour and style. In the words of Frederick himself,  "Elegance is timeless".

His mentor, Jean Miller, illustrator for the Robert Simpson Co., who he credited for getting him started in fashion illustrations in 1957. Watson's pieces begin with a face either from a reference, his imagination or both. He started painting for himself and people seemed to have loved the results. He painted everyday and was always looking out for image that inspired him. These images were mostly found in books he owned and various magazines containing photos and illustrations from his favorite fashion era. When Watson was 76 he did nothing but paint and didn't want to illustrate anymore. At that time in his life he did not want to worry about the pressures of deadlines.

Social Impact
Watson was invited as a guest on numerous television and radio shows and has been interviewed in major newspapers and columns in the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, Bravo, US Magazine along with many other journals. He has done volunteer work at several HIV/AIDS|AIDS fundraiser events. Frederick's prints have not only been in newspapers but he has also contributed limited edition prints for jewelry companies, cruise ships and luxury goods. Watson's work has also appeared in several paramount shows in New York City and Toronto. The core of his art celebrates the beauty of women from all over.

Fashion journalist and Canadian television personality Jeanne Baker had known Watson for almost two decades and collaborated with him at several fashion events. She was first attracted to his work because of the history and fashion illustration aspects. She now owns several of his paintings that are displayed throughout her home.

Get a jump on everyday tasks.
When you're under stress, daily duties can go by the wayside. But everyday tasks still need your attention. Fortunately, some things can be done in advance. Use the time before the difficulty kicks in to make meals and freeze them, arrange for help with the kids, get routine appointments out of the way, and do any necessary cleaning.
Learning as much as you can about the situation you're facing before you get immersed in it will help you avoid complications. Read, talk to others who have been through a similar ordeal or seek counselling or other professional guidance. A little foreknowledge will give you important tips and coping skills to better handle your challenge.
Is there someone–or several people–you trust to be your confidant and support base? Ask them to be "on call" should you need a shoulder to lean on or general help. Family members, friends, coworkers, or even a spiritual guide can fill the role. Just make sure the person is available and willing to help you during the time period you'll need them.
Nothing can make a difficult situation more difficult than money problems. If your finances are out of whack, make a point to get them in order as soon as possible. Prepare a budget if you don't already have one, and clear up all unpaid bills. You may even want to pay bills in advance so you won't have to worry about it or risk forgetting to pay.
Get in the habit of taking care of yourself now so that you won't risk having unexpected health problems in the weeks ahead. Get rest, exercise, and eat right. You may even want to learn meditation to help alleviate stress down the road. Staying well and practising good health habits now that will help carry you through the tough time.
The best way to handle difficulty is with optimism, focus, and the knowledge that it's temporary. Remember, at the end of every tunnel, there is light. Keep your mind on that thought as you prepare for your journey, and let the light guide you and keep your spirits lifted. Before long, you'll be over the hump and on the downhill slope.
Facing a life challenge can be scary, but being prepared for the difficulty will make it a lot easier to handle. Follow the above tips and amaze yourself at how strong and capable you are when times get tough.

Q: Entity Framework 4 / POCO - Where to start? I've been programming for a while and have used LINQ-To-SQL and LINQ-To-Entities before (although when using entities it has been on a Entity/Table 1-1 relationship - ie not much different than L2SQL)
I've been doing a lot of reading about Inversion of Control, Unit of Work, POCO and repository patterns and would like to use this methodology in my new applications.
Where I'm struggling is finding a clear, concise beginners guide for EF4 which doesn't assume knowledge of EF1.
The specific questions I need answered are:
Code first / model first? Pros/cons in regards to EF4 (ie what happens if I do code first, change the code at a later date and need to regenerate my DB model - Does the data get preserved and transformed or dropped?)
Assuming I'm going code-first (I'd like to see how EF4 converts that to a DB schema) how do I actually get started? Quite often I've seen articles with entity diagrams stating "So this is my entity model, now I'm going to ..." - Unfortunately, I'm unclear if they're created the model in the designer, saved it to generate code then stopped any further auto-code generation -or- They've coded (POCO)? classes and the somehow imported them into the deisgner view?
I suppose what I really need is an understanding of where the "magic" comes from and how to add it myself if I'm not just generating an EF model directly from a DB.
I'm aware the question is a little vague but I don't know what I don't know - So any input / correction / clarification appreciated.
Needless to say, I don't expect anyone to sit here and teach me EF - I'd just like some good tutorials/forums/blogs/etc. for complete entity newbies

A: I do recommend that you take a half hour or so and generate a stable EF1.0 model in your current VS. That will get you a long way towards understanding the metaphors and concepts of EF 4.0. Just whip up a simple Customer, Products and Orders db...I recommend doing your own and not using Northwind.

A: These articles might be of interest...the series really gets into the advantages and disadvantages of a POCO approach.
Link
Link
Link
In these articles the author mentions future articles that describe best practices in implementing Repository and Unit of Work patterns, but I can't find them.  These articles are well written and I'd like to read more from this author.

A: This is a great question, but tough to keep up to date as Entity Framework continues to mature. Probably the best place to start that will stay up to date into the future is Microsoft's EF page.
A few other links I found helpful while Googling (focused on Code First):

*

*Getting Started with EF using MVC Tutorial

*Code First Development with Entity Framework Video from TechEd 2010

*Scott Gu's post on Code-First Development with EF4

*MSDN Entity Framework 4.1 and 4.2

A: You can take Lerman's book or something simplier like "Pro linq object-relational mapping". All concepts are still the same with POCO, except that now you should disable code generation and map directly to your model in edmx csdl  (or create your own POCO generator). All mapping principles are the same also. Anyhow in run time you are working with proxy which is derived from your POCO object so you should concern about interception support (virtualization of your POCO properties).

A: There are also these tutorials:

*

*https://danielwertheim.wordpress.com/2010/05/16/entity-framework-4-ctp3-code-first-vs-linq-to-sql/

*https://danielwertheim.wordpress.com/2009/12/20/updates-to-putting-entity-framework-4-to-use-in-a-business-architecture/

A: Here's a walkthrough on the POCO Template for the Entity Framework that looked pretty good. You might also want to check out the ADO.NET team blog. If you want to start at the beginning(EF v1.0) as a base for your EF knowledge, I found Julia Lerman's Programming Entity Framework book very complete.

A: Dont have the rep to comment on an answer, but here is a follow up to Jinkinz answer:
Using Repository and Unit of Work patterns with Entity Framework 4.0:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adonet/archive/2009/06/16/using-repository-and-unit-of-work-patterns-with-entity-framework-4-0.aspx

A: I've come across this: http://blogs.msdn.com/adonet/pages/feature-ctp-walkthrough-code-only-for-the-entity-framework.aspx
Which gives you step-by-step for code first. It does require the CTP 3 for EF4 (Download linked from that article).
This is pretty close to what I was after (although ideally a solution that doesn't rely on a CTP would've been preferable)

A: Julia Lerman has a nice series of introductory videos, about 10 minutes each.  They're introductory, but there are plenty of practical tips that get some potential learning roadblocks out of the way.  I especially liked her demonstration of watching the actual SQL go by using SQL Server Profiler.

A: If you are going to use disconnected cenarios, I recommend you to read Julie Lerman book: "Programming DbContext", in special Chapter 4.
I found a lot of examples in blogs, etc, but almost all of them are about connected cenarios.
I'm starting too. and these book helped me a lot. By the way, I bought her three books.

A: I was looking for the same answers and came across http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=599
At the end of the link, there are few links which will get you rolling with Entity Framework 4.
Hope this helps

A: Wow, lots of answers. How about an example which contains a tweaked version of T4 templates that generate POCO + interfaces + repositories altogether?

A Spoonbill flew over me and my daughter at Rineanna point from Shannon lagoon , this was the third county record and the first since 1998, well happy with that!
I think this is the same bird that is believed mythically to bring newborns to their mothers on the time of birth. Well this can be a good omen for you.

Looks good so far...and squareness is vastly overrated.
You should be very proud of yourself-- that is awesome!
You did a gret job!! Gooooooo, Sara!
That looks good! The bracing should make it extra sturdy.
Im impressed, I too am about to start working on converting part of my shed with minimal experience but I hope enough knowledge. Be proud.
I think it looks, as my kids say, "Wicked Awesome!"

DHS Releases National Emergency Communications Plan
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security released the National Emergency Communications Plan on Thursday, saying the 83-page document is intended to address deficiencies and lead improvements in emergency response communications around the country. The document sets successively higher goals for 2010, 2011, and 2013.
"This is a comprehensive plan designed to drive measurable and sustainable improvements to operable and interoperable emergency communications nationwide over the next three years. It emphasizes the human element and cross-jurisdictional cooperation, going beyond simply buying new equipment," said DHS Under Secretary Robert Jamison. "We have recently approved Statewide Communication Interoperability Plans for all 56 states and territories. Aligning these plans with the NECP will move emergency communications forward and further promote a coordinated nationwide strategy."
The goals set deadlines for federal, state, local and tribal authorities:
* By 2010, 90 percent of all high-risk urban areas designated within the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) can demonstrate response-level emergency communications within one hour for routine events involving multiple jurisdictions and agencies.
* By 2011, 75 percent of non-UASI jurisdictions can demonstrate response-level emergency communications within one hour for routine events involving multiple jurisdictions and agencies.
* By 2013, 75 percent of all jurisdictions can demonstrate response-level emergency communications within three hours of a significant event, as outlined in the department's national planning scenarios.
The plan is consistent with the National Response Framework; National Incident Management System; National Preparedness Guidelines; and Target Capabilities List. It was developed by the DHS Office of Emergency Communications in cooperation with more than 150 public and private-sector emergency communications officials.
