Kendal Pollinator Project (2019)
The results of this fantastic project are now available. Having been SLACC's main project over the last 3 years we are delighted to share the results.
The Kendal Pollinator Project (KPP) was set up as a three year "Citizen Science "project in the community. The main objectives foresaw the creation of improved pollinator habitats within Kendal (along the canal path); subsequent monitoring and recording of the six plots; collaboration with national science projects and, through the involvement of young people, demonstration of the importance of community-based practical work to improve habitats for pollinator species within urban areas.

Zero Waste Kendal
Zero Waste Kendal is an informal network of individuals based in and around Kendal, Cumbria.
Our name aligns us with an international movement that seeks to eliminate waste rather than manage it. Waste is not inevitable- it is the result of overconsumption of our planet's natural resources. Humans are currently using double what our Earth can provide. This is driving wildlife to extinction, and if current trends continue, we risk leaving an uninhabitable planet for future generations.
We support each other to reduce our own waste footprint, and work together to make positive changes within our local community, so everyone can waste less more easily. Any small effort to waste less- refusing what we don't need, reusing and repairing what we have, investing in items that last, and disposing of them thoughtfully- can have a huge impact on the environment, and make you feel good too!
Flash Mob 2015
2015 saw the People's Climate March in Kendal. Watch the video below.
The book club met approx. every month to six weeks, looking at various aspects of how to live, from the personal to the communal and the global. The group met at the Unitarian Chapel, Branthwaite Brow, Kendal. For more information contact Hazel Clarke 015395 68284.
Titles read included: Yellow Birds, by Kevin Powers; Religion for Atheists by Alain De Botton; Sum: tales from the afterlives by David Eagleman ; Cancel the Apocalypse by Andrew Simms; 'Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: our year of seasonal eating' by Barbara Kingsolver; 'Soil and Soul, people versus corporate power' by Alastair McIntosh; 'The Selfish Society: how we all forgot to love one another and made money instead' and D Schumacher's, 'Small is Beautiful, in the 21st century', an update on the classic 'Small is Beautiful: economics as if people mattered' by EF Schumacher published in the 1960s.
SLACCtt against fracking campaign
SLACC TT is actively campaigning against fracking. We organise talks, film screenings and other events, and also do lots of grass roots activism – whether that's joining protests, lobbying decision-makers or writing to the press. We had set up an email discussion group – Frack Free Cumbria – so people can share information and plan actions.
Fracking – is the technique used to extract natural gas from rocks such as shale. It has caused a wide range of environmental, social and human health problems in the USA, where the practice has become widespread. Furthermore, the continued extraction and burning of fossil fuels is threatening our chances of preventing runaway climate change.
The fossil fuel industry and the Coalition government are determined to push ahead with it here in the UK, despite massive public opposition and increasingly strong evidence of its harmful, and potentially irreversible, impacts. Large areas of the country, including parts of Cumbria, have been earmarked as being potentially suitable. Grass-roots campaigns have been amazingly successful in keeping fracking at bay so far, but it's going to need all hands on deck if we're to keep it that way.
Energy Saving Fair
In order to help the Kendal community both stay warm and save on their energy bills, South Lakes Action on Climate Change – Towards Transition (SLACC-TT), supported by Cumbria Action for Sustainability (CAfS), held an Energy Saving Fair in Kendal town centre on Saturday 2 February, 11.00-16.30. The Fair was in Unit 5, (next to Nat West Bank) Elephant's Yard and will be opened by the Mayor.
The Fair brought together a range of stalls, demonstrations and presentations to provide advice for the public about how to save energy by insulating their homes, efficient use of woodfuel, options for improving the energy efficiency of windows, low energy lighting, solar panels, income generation from renewables, information about the government's new Green Deal and more.
Dr Bike at Kendal Schools & Bike maintenance workshops for parents (2013)
During 2013 SLACC offered free Dr Bike sessions to schools and youth groups in Kendal, alongside running subsidised bike maintenance workshops for parents, thanks to funding from the Kendal Local Area Partnership.
Pupils could bring their bikes for a free safety check, advice, basic repairs and maintenance. SLACC volunteers mended bikes at Kendal Family Drop in Centre, Staveley School, Stramongate School and Ghyllside Primary.
Run by experienced, professional trainers from Freewheelers Bicycle Workshop in Lancaster – hands-on workshops were held in the Pavilion, Staveley. Courses were run by Kendal Transition Town charity South Lakes Action on Climate Change, funded by the Kendal LAP to encourage young people to cycle – so those who will apply their skills to help mend and maintain young people's bicycles are eligible to attend. Two workshops were run for 'M-check and Mending a Puncture' and 'Adjusting Brakes'.
SLACCtt Divestment Group
This group started after a SLACC-TT Film Night watching the 350.org film 'Do The Math'. We felt that we needed to start campaigning at a local level here in South Lakeland. We met monthly, share good news stories and relevant articles, and carry out localised actions.
Our aim is to
encourage local organisations to divest from fossil fuels;
encourage residents of South Lakeland to ensure their pensions and personal banking/investments are not supporting the fossil fuel industry; and to
participate in national and international divestment campaigns.
Sustainable Gardens Award 2012
We helped the Town Council develop this new category for the Kendal in Bloom competition 2012. The winner was Jane Willis whose garden best met the criteria.
Sustainable Garden Criteria
Courtesy of Westmorland Gazette
"One of the things that seemed to impress the judges was that a lot of the stuff in the garden was not bought from garden centres, but came from propagating / over-wintering / friends' gardens (i.e. yours!) – so many thanks for all your contributions! They especially liked the community compost idea: I leave a small covered bin outside my house in the square to which the neighbouring households add their compostable waste. I transfer this to my big bin and in spring I give them some made compost for their window boxes. The judges also seemed to appreciate my (very full) slug traps and rain water collection bins, not to mention the small fruit and vege patch (radishes, runner beans, winter greens, salad leaves, rocket, raspberries), the herb patch and the 'wild-life' bits… The fact that I couldnt' remember half the names of my plants and shrubs did not seem to matter, so long as it was bee or butterfly friendly!" Jane Willis
Biked Up, Pedal Powered (2012)
Biked-Up, Pedal-Powered, was a partnership between SLACCTT, The Brewery Arts Centre Kendal, and Kendal Mintfest, the international street arts festival hosted by the town. It was a bike dance performed by local young people (predominantly boys) who are street stunt bikers, choreographed professionally with the Brewery. The performance was powered by bike generators made by the SLACCTT group and pedalled by the audience. The show was part of the Mintfest programme during 2012.
The project was be overseen by a new group of Young Producers and a steering group to guide the technical developments.
Active Travel (2011)
During 2011 the transport group embarked on the Active Travel project. We ran the Cycle Challenge competition with a revamped website: www.southlakes-cyclechallenge.co.uk.
We also produced an Active Travel Guide which was distributed in doctor surgeries, dentists, leisure centres, etc, as well as a new bus map for Kendal (an updated Kendal bus map is now available from Stagecoach) and a Walking & Cycling map for Windermere & Bowness.
The final strand of the project involved working with 5 primary schools to promote cycling and walking. Download a leaflet about cycle safety for parents here and active lifestyles for parents here. Dowload the final project report here.
Sustainable Living Awards (2011)
In partnership with Kendal Town Council, we launched our Sustainable Living Awards, open to all community groups in Kendal. The aim was to challenge community groups to do something different each week and an awards ceremony was held in the summer.
Summer of Cycling (2010)
We continued with CycleFest during 2010 by staging the Summer of Cycling. This was a 6 month cycling promotion project which centres around a workplace cycle challenge, 6 months of events, producing a cycling & walking map for Kendal as well as cycle marketing to every home in Kendal.
To read the project report click here.
Staveley GTi2 (2010)
This was the second year of our Green Travel Initiative project in the nearby village of Staveley. In 2010 we secured funds to continue with another 6 months of events, as well as setting up a car club and marketing sustainable transport to the whole village.
Documents and reports from the project are available here.
We were highly impressed by the success and amazing results coming from the Sustainable Travel Demonstration Towns of Darlington, Peterborough and Worcester, which suggested that getting people to change their travel habits wasn't so difficult at all.
It seemed to mostly be a case of providing greater travel information to individual households on a one to one basis, giving individualised travel planning and detailing the many positive benefits of sustainable travel (whether financial, health, increased community involvement or other).
We were absolutely amazed to see that these 'Smarter Travel Choices' projects lead to significant reductions in car trips (7-25%) and increased journeys by lift-sharing, public transport, cycling and walking (of the order of 10-80%).
To date, all such projects have been funded by the UK Government, and with one exception have always taken place in large urban areas and been run by the Local Authority, so this was the first time that a Smart Travel Project has been run by a community group, and in a rural village with a population of 1,300. As such, we are really excited to see what can be achieved. What happens when the community is given the money and asked to solve the problem themselves?

Home Energy Action Together (HEAT) (2009/2010)
HEAT took place over winter 2009/10 and was aimed at getting up to 150 houses in the Kendal Castle area to sign up to three 'asks' – 1) to make the 'Big Switch' to a renewable energy supplier, 2) to fill out a home energy check and receive a free report on how to make your house more energy efficient, and 3) to install a free digital smart meter which we provide.
The full project details can be downloaded here.
This project has now been completed (March 2010), and the project report is now available to download: HEAT Final Report.

Kendal & Staveley Car Club (2009/2010)
Working in partnership with South Lakes District Council, we worked to promote and set up a car club in Kendal and Staveley. A car, loaned to the project by local residents, is available to rent in Staveley, however after a year of running the car is Kendal has been taken out the scheme. The Go Lakes project is now working with Co-Wheels to expand the scheme around the Lake District, with new cars in Windermere, Coniston and more on the way.
Staveley Green Travel Initiative (2009)
In 2009 we embarked on an exciting and unique transport project in the nearby village of Staveley. The dedicated project website is now offline but you can find out more online, along with all the materials we developed during the project. http://www.sustainablestaveley.org.uk/sens/downloads/
CycleFest – Celebrating all kinds of cycling for all kinds of people (2009)
Kendal's first ever festival of cycling took place from 30th May to 7th June, organised by SLACC. The project was 100% volunteer driven and was a huge success with thousands of people coming out for the festival day. The festival website has now been updated to run our 2010 cycling project the Summer of Cycling.

National Council of Jewish Women Chicago North Shore
Trump Budget Proposal Prioritizes Wealthy at Expense of Lower-Income Americans
Contact: Amanda Lang
March 11, 2019, Washington, DC – The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) today called upon Congress to reject the president's 2020 budget request. NCJW CEO Nancy K. Kaufman released the following statement:
"By starting the budget process with draconian cuts to social programs, the administration hopes to push the basis for negotiations with Congress off a moral center and far to the political right. As a faith-based organization, we are morally outraged. While most of Trump's proposals will not see the light of day as such, the end result will likely be yet another budget compromise that freezes money and programs in dire need of increased resources. According to the Coalition on Human Needs, nearly one-third of domestic human needs programs have been cut by 25 percent or more since 2010, as the stock market soars and unemployment falls. The Trump proposal also makes yet another assault on the Affordable Care Act.
"NCJW has joined with a long list of other faith-inspired groups to call for a budget that fosters hope, opportunity, and a place at the table for all, especially those experiencing hardship and oppression. A national budget is a moral document, and the US budget should reflect that fact.
"We know our nation's progress depends on ensuring that every American has equal rights and opportunities, protected and advanced by a strong and just federal government. We come together to protect important services from harmful federal budget cuts and to utilize the federal capacity to spur economic growth and progress for the benefit of all."
The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women, children, and families and by safeguarding individual rights and freedoms.

would you mind if i linked you to my blog? a no is okay. i just always ask.

Sunny romantic escapism! 4/5 stars.
Thank you to the author for sending me an advance copy of the book.
Who Does He Think He Is? is published today, 15th December and is available on Amazon.
The blurb: Lady Aurelia Osbourne-Lloyd has long wished her bank balance was as big as her name. But her home, Leydale Park, is more of a pile in a state than stately pile, and with her father off 'finding himself' in Thailand, it's up to her to turn the family fortunes around by entertaining demanding tourists.
Who Does He Think He Is? is a fun contemporary romance set in a fantastic location with likeable characters. If you're a fan of the genre and looking for a lighter read, I recommend this.
I was initially a bit worried when I saw the whole story was narrated in first person. First person narratives tend to be either hit or miss with me, so I was delighted when I quickly became at home with Aurelia's voice. And she's a great protagonist: she has real problems to worry her, but she's not a moaner or ditherer and gets on with it. My sort of woman!
The setting of a Yorkshire stately home provides a backdrop with familiar old-world charm which gets an injection of new-world glamour (and drama!) with the arrival of a film crew and the hero. Also, and this could just be me, it was great to read a story set in a nice warm summer. The weather is so diabolical at the moment it was a treat to read about the relatively balmy temperatures the characters were enjoying.
My only criticism is that I could have done with more of everything! A few times I felt I was being hurried through the story when I would have liked to linger with the characters or in a location for longer because I was enjoying being with them/there.
The very best of luck to Emily Kerr with her debut. I'm sure this is the start of a great writing career.
Overall: a feel-good story guaranteed to delight romance fans.
This sounds like a good debut!
It's great. You wouldn't have any idea it was her first book.
As I said, my only criticism is I wish there were more of everything because a couple of times I felt like an editor had said, "This bit's dragging, cut a few paragraphs", but I was enjoying it and would have liked more!
Great review. I love books like this. Every now and then this is exactly what you need after a long and exhausting day. I'll have to check it out.
That is exactly what this book is. The perfect thing to unwind with – cheerful, light and relaxing!

CONFLICT IN SYRIA
Syrians should jointly develop their vision of prospects to overcome the crisis and outline reforms in the country, the Russian president said
© Valery Sharifulin/TASS Host Photo Agency
SOCHI, January 30. /TASS/. The Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi provides an opportunity to meet the Syrians' aspirations to end the war and fully eradicate terrorism, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his message to the participants in the forum read out by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

"Your forum is called upon to reunite the Syrian people after the armed conflict that lasted nearly seven years, which has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and forced millions of citizens to leave their home country," the Russian leader stressed. "There is a good opportunity to meet the Syrians' aspirations to end the fratricidal war, fully eradicate terrorism and return to normal life."
Syrians should jointly develop their vision of prospects to overcome the crisis and outline reforms in the country, according to Putin.
"Now all the constructive forces of the Syrian society have a key task of developing a common vision of prospects to overcome the crisis and together outlining the reforms that would enable citizens, regardless of their religious, ethnic background and social status, to feel safe and comfortable in their motherland," the president said.

DVD/Blu-ray: Road to Nowhere
Written by Sean Axmaker August 23, 2011
Road to Nowhere (Monterey), Monte Hellman's first feature in 21 years, is a film about making a film and a film within a film, with an unknown actress (played by Shannyn Sossamon) hired to play a role in a film based on a murky true story about a politician who embezzled $100 million and disappeared with a young woman. From the opening scene, as a journalist drops a DVD (titled "Road to Nowhere") into a laptop and watches a film (complete with fictionalized credits) roll out, the lines between the characters, the actors and the levels of stories within stories are blurred. The mystery of the missing politician and the stolen money that inspires the screenplay segues into a story about the mystery of cinema and the nature of stories and storytelling.
There's plenty of nods to films and filmmaking and the conventions of storytelling laced through the picture via film clips and layered references. And when the director Mitchell Haven (Tygh Runyan), the director of the film "Road to Nowhere" within the film Road to Nowhere, is asked by Variety editor Peter Bart (played by real-life Variety editor Peter Bart) "Do you feel a little rusty in any way?" and he answers "A little. I'm just glad to be back on track," it could be a comment on Hellman's own career. Or an in-joke for folks in the know. Or maybe a personal nod to Hellman by screenwriter Steven Gaydos, a longtime friend who wrote the script for him.

Toomer's Corner and the little picture
No doubt I'm sensitive to this sort of talk after Dennis Dodd's epic "the only damage caused by Damon's panties was to the school's reputation" column, but can we please, please dispense with this sort of overwrought logic?
… It's not a reach to say that over the last 24 hours, the University of Alabama has suffered its worst black-eye since George Wallace stood in the school house door. From CNN to ESPN to NBC News with Brian Williams, Alabama and its reputation has been carpet bombed from one end of the country to the other.
It's not a reflection on the school that Harvey Updike is borderline certifiable. As far as I know, he has no official or unofficial relationship with the university. Whatever tenuous linkage exists is completely in the mind of Al from Dadeville. So don't blame the school. I'm not even sure you can blame the culture (although, admittedly, it's tempting). Sometimes people behave like complete assholes simply because they're complete assholes.

"The goal is to never make a promise you can't keep."
So, Greg McGarity is ready to go to the mats with Bernie Machen.
First-year UGA athletics director Greg McGarity is strongly opposed to the practice of oversigning football prospects and in favor of legislation to help curtail such activity among SEC institutions.
"It's just the right thing to do," McGarity told Dawgs247 this week…
… According to McGarity, "I think it will be a topic for discussion (at SEC meetings) in Destin this year."
"I think you will see controls in place," McGarity said. "Now what that model will look like will be determined later — sooner than later. … I think you'll see it being dealt with at the conference level much like the Big Ten (Conference) deals with it currently."
I think he's optimistic.
Here's his problem. Mark Richt is on the side of the angels when he says,
"The goal is to never make a promise you can't keep," Richt said. "That's the big thing for me. If there's a kid that you say, 'Hey look, we are at our number. Those numbers change. There's attrition. Things happen,' but the hard thing is when you sign a guy in February and then you don't have to declare your number until school starts, and you know there may be some attrition in the meantime. … To say that it wouldn't have nice to have one or two other guys that you thought could come in and make an impact on your football team, that's the tough part."
And McGarity adds some pretty strong language to that.
"I think the thing you focus on is, 'What kind of conversation are you having with these young men and their parents up front? Are you making them aware of all the dynamics that could occur?' I think the majority of the time that's probably not the case."
But that's not what the debate is going to focus on (too bad, in my opinion). The fight is going to be over competitive disarmament.
… In the Big Ten, teams are restricted from recruiting more than the 85 players. This has led to cries that Big Ten schools continue to play against a stacked deck when it comes to the SEC, which has an ongoing five-year streak of BCS titles.
"No question it gives the SEC a big advantage," former Ohio State coach John Cooper recently told The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. "And let's face it — they don't need another advantage."
If McGarity does the math, it's a loser for him to allow the debate to proceed on those terms.
… Auburn actually signed 32 prospects in Feb. 2010, months before winning the BCS national championship. Alabama, the previous national champ before Auburn, signed 32 players in Feb. 2008.
According to Oversigning.com, a Web site designed to raise awareness of this topic, in addition to Alabama and Auburn, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Tennessee have all reportedly logged classes of 30 or more football signees in the past five years.
That's seven schools right there. Add the Hat in, and you've got a solid majority that's going to fight giving up the right to sign half of the world in February. One thing you can say about Mike Slive is that he's not the kind of guy who expends a lot of political capital on a losing cause. My bet is that the most we'll see in the short run is some fairly meaningless window dressing. The SEC ain't the home of the cowbell compromise for nothing.

Q: Data structure for KMeans clustering using Pandas DataFrames I am currently working on some scientific data and I am trying to perform a clustering task on it but I get a Value error due to the the format of the data. Which is two Pandas DataFrames in [170 rows x 7 columns].
I have tried transposing the data, formatting as a list, and also a numpy array. The format I am showing in the code is from a solution found here: ValueError: cannot copy sequence with size 5 to array axis with dimension 2
#x is the y distance
x = np.empty(7, dtype = object)
x[:] = [distance_lC, distance_fC]

#y is the speed.
y = np.empty(7, dtype = object)
y[:] = [speed_lC, speed_fC]

cell_kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters = 4).fit_predict(y)

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
ax.scatterplot(cell_kmeans)
plt.show()

The output should give out the cluster. But I have the following Value Error: "ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence."

A: use pandas.concat to concatenate the dataframes instead:
y = pandas.concat([speed_lC, speed_fC])

Q: How to replace double quotes? I have a string: "Blah blah blah "blah" blah blah", and I need to replace quotes on this string to «Blah blah blah «blah» blah blah»
I was trying to use this script:
$m=preg_replace('/([^\s>])\\\"/s',"$1»",$m);
$m=preg_replace('/\\\"([^\s])/s',"«$1",$m);

But when the string beginning from the space, i have something like that:
 »Some text» Some text Some text

How can I do this?

A: The most direct approach might be to use lookarounds to detect it the quote is directly before a word or directly after.
$m = preg_replace('/"(?=\w)/', '«', $m);
$m = preg_replace('/(?<=\w)"/', '»', $m);

This will work well on your example, but may be too simplistic. You might want to go further and look for a word charactor or punctuation so "blah blah." will match as well. That would make the second example something like this: /(?<=[\w,.?!\)])"/

A: $str = '"Test string "blabla" sdf "dd" dffdsf"';
$result = preg_replace('/(\s)"([^"]+)"(\s)/', '$1«$2»$3', $str);
$result = preg_replace('/^"(.*?)"$/', '«$1»', $result); // replace first and last quotes

This code works only for strings without many nested quotes. This code don't work for string:

"Test "string is "test" test" test"

A: may be such way ?
$m=str_replace("<","",$m);
$m=str_replace("&rt;","",$m);

20 SNES games that need to be on the SNES Classic Edition
April 23, 2017 April 23, 2017 shanna All, Reviews & Opinions
The NES Classic Edition was recently announced as being discontinued this year by Nintendo. This is bad news for nostalgic gamers but reports state that a SNES Classic Edition going to be replacing it. So it's not all bad then. As the new mini console will be released later this year, it's time to start thinking about what games will be pre-loaded on the device.
The classic SNES game Wild Guns recently received a remaster for the PlayStation 4 and a PC version is coming soon. It seems pretty likely that this game could be on the SNES Classic Edition. In addition to this, Konami has recently released a new Bomberman game. However, there are many classic SNES games which would be amazing to have on the upcoming mini console.
Here are our most wanted games
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Kirby Dream Land 3
Contra III
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Tetris & Dr Mario
Super Bomberman
Super Double Dragon
Yoshi's Island
While this are the games we really want to see on the SNES Classic Edition, there are a large number of classic games on this platform. Games such as Earthworm Jim, Mario Paint and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts would also be great to see on the mini console. Of course there's also Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Turtles in Time which could be great for the mini console.
However, Nintendo might feel differently and the fully released console could have a very different list of games. We will provide you with updates as the situation evolves throughout the year.
What games are you hoping to see on the SNES Classic Edition? Let us know in the comments below!

Full-back Israel Folau will remain with Australia and Super Rugby club Waratahs at least until 2022 after signing a new contract.
Folau switched codes to rugby union in 2013 after playing for Australia in rugby league and has been with Waratahs since then. He also enjoyed a brief stint with Japanese club NTT DoCoMo Red Hurricanes in the Top League.
"I'm really grateful to Rugby Australia and the Waratahs for all they have done for me. When I made the switch to rugby five years ago, I could never have dreamed that it would have gone this well," he told the Waratahs website.
"The World Cup is a big target of mine this year and I believe this Wallabies group can go a long way if we keep on improving. I'm looking forward to working hard and doing whatever I can to help the team achieve what we want to achieve both this year and into the future.
It is understood that the 29-year-old has been in discussion with Rugby Australia for four months to finalise the deal.
"Israel's contribution the Wallabies since making the switch shows why he's one of the best players in the world," Australia head coach Michael Cheika said.
"It is great to see him make a long-term commitment to the Wallabies and Waratahs, and I know that he's still very keen to become an even better player in that time, as well achieve success with the Wallabies.

Because lithium is the least dense elemental steel, fabrics scientists and engineers were operating for many years to boost a commercially manageable aluminum-lithium (Al-Li) alloy that may be even lighter and stiffer than different aluminum alloys. the 1st generations of Al-Li alloys tended to be afflicted by numerous difficulties, together with negative ductility and fracture longevity; unreliable houses, fatigue and fracture resistance; and unreliable corrosion resistance.
Now, new 3rd iteration Al-Li alloys with considerably lowered lithium content material and different advancements are promising a revival for Al-Li functions in sleek plane and aerospace cars. over the past few years, those more moderen Al-Li alloys have attracted expanding worldwide curiosity for frequent functions within the aerospace mostly due to hovering gasoline expenditures and the advance of a brand new iteration of civil and army airplane.

Kell of Sky (deceased)
Raviks Prime (missing)
Notable information:
Warred with the House of Lions during the Gray Wars.
"'House Storm' was never of a House, for you see, they were only just remnants of a long forgotten House, before Whirlwind struck, named 'House Sky' and their Banners was raised high as their moniker."
— A blurb from the "Monsek'ir Gray"
The House of Sky was once a Fallen House, that fought in the Gray Wars against the House of Lions.
The House of Sky was one of the many Houses that grew prosperity in their Golden Age on Riis, led by their Kell, the House made themselves known amongst their civilization through their use of number of fleets in battle, modifications and creations of ships and the House's most experience pilots and crews, such as those like Dakiliss, and Zavriks, two Barons belonging to the House. However, the House is also known for their Kell's beliefs about the Traveler, seeing it a beacon to "something out there that could wipe their entire civilization", and saw its gifts as tricks, and tried to convince her people to leave their home for safety, but to no avail. When the Whirlwind began, House of Sky would flee and abandoning the other Houses as the event continued, in the aftermath, the Sky would travel deep in space in hopes to find refuge.
Gray Wars[edit]
The Gray Wars would began when Skevsis, the Prowling, a House of Lions noble, drew the wandering House Sky into his House's domain within a planet known as Striviis, which would stir the Lions into attacking the Sky after the latter massacred many Lion inhabitants in order for the House to claim control over their strongholds. As the war raged on, the House would suffer the most from the war, with many of their leaders being killed and their ships stolen by raiding parties associated with the Lions. During the homestretch of the war, the House's lair, which has been hidden from the Lions for many years, would be eventually revealed by a Lion scout whom infiltrated into Sky's ranks to obtain the information onto where Sky's base of operations was held. After discovering the location, the Lions, with their combined forces, would attack the lair and destroyed it, along with the Kell of Sky perishing as well, leaving the House effectively leaderless.
The Plan of Skevsis[edit]
Rise of the Storms[edit]
"O hear me lost children of House Sky, I am Tikmiks, I am...like one of the rest of you. As I lost my father by the hands of that wretched child who claims to be Kell. For this, I want to help restore your House, no, make it anew. But, in return, you must help me with the House of Lions"

End of Sky[edit]
Restoration[edit]
"We will live not by Pride or ruthlessness, but with intelligence, with respectfulness, hope to not end up in our past mistakes, nor will we fight against the City...for the sake of our people, I will restore the Houses of Old and lift them up with our new ways, starting with House Sky."

Ailing Chavez sits out Venezuela celebrations
Published Wednesday, July 06, 2011
After returning suddenly from Cuba, cancer-stricken President Hugo Chavez was the notable absentee Tuesday from Venezuela's bicentennial parade, lying low as he recovered from surgery.
Chavez, 56, didn't completely miss out on celebrations marking 200 years of independence from Spain, telling Venezuelans in a video message on a giant screen erected in the capital Caracas: "I am with you in body and soul."
The day after his return from Cuba, the anti-American firebrand claimed Venezuela had gained independence anew under his stewardship -- this time from multinational companies, foreign powers and the Venezuelan bourgeoisie.
"There is no better way to celebrate this long-awaited day than in being independent as we are again. We are no longer a colony, like we were, and we will never be one again," the leftist leader said.
Chavez, who has been president of Venezuela since 1999 and has already declared his intention to seek another six-year term in 2012, has nationalized key sectors of the Venezuelan economy, such as oil and gas.
His anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist rhetoric, regional powerbrokering skills and health and education programs for the poor have garnered him strong public support hovering at around 50 percent in most surveys.
Thousands of supporters chanted "he's back, he's back," while a parade displaying the latest military equipment -- much of it purchased from key allies China and Russia -- passed by in a triumphant show of strength.
No opposition leaders took part in the parade. Venezuela is sharply polarized along political lines, and the differences between the pro- and anti-Chavez sides are wider than ever.
"This celebration belongs neither to a government, nor a single person. It belongs to all Venezuelans," the opposition Coalition for Democratic Unity said in a statement.
Opposition members also urged Chavez to honor the bicentennial by releasing people whom they consider political prisoners including Chavez rival Alejandro Pena Esclusa, who was detained last year and has cancer.
The government denies having any political prisoners.
Chavez also met with a triumvirate of visiting leftist allies, presidents Evo Morales of Bolivia, Jose Mujica of Uruguay, and Fernando Lugo of Paraguay -- all of whom, unlike him, took part in the parade.
On display was a veritable arsenal acquired from key ally Russia, including T-72 tanks, BMP-3 amphibious combat vehicles, Dragunov sniper rifles, as well as troop carriers and anti-missile systems.
Sequestered for nearly four weeks in Cuba where he underwent surgery to have a cancerous tumor removed, Chavez returned unexpectedly Monday to Caracas, rallying a crowd with his trademark gusto.
In a speech from the palace on Monday, the former paratrooper admitted he had been through some "very difficult hours" during treatment, and cautioned that he had only experienced the "first stage" of the battle.
He urged patience and strength on the march toward a "final victory."
It was almost four weeks ago, on June 8, that Chavez left for Cuba, an isolated ally where the ruling Castro regime is heavily dependent on oil exports from Venezuela, the region's main oil exporter.
Two days later, Chavez was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment on what Cuban and Venezuelan officials said was a pelvic abscess. Conflicting reports and mounting speculation about his condition followed.
As days ran into weeks, the absence of the omnipresent leader, who is seen daily on television, heard on the radio and read on Twitter, led to speculation about political life without Chavez in Venezuela.
Last week, eyebrows were raised further when Venezuela postponed the inaugural summit of a new Americas bloc, a regional gathering that excluded the United States and Canada, that Chavez had been due to host.
On Thursday, the Venezuelan leader made a dramatic announcement on state television via video from Havana that doctors had found and removed a cancerous growth.
Officials have since said that the tumor, removed on June 20, was in his pelvic area, but that all the president's organs are fine. They have not said what type of cancer it was or what the longer-term prognosis might be.

FEMA Report Acknowledges Failures In Puerto Rico Disaster Response
By Laura Sullivan,
Emma Schwartz
U.S. Army soldiers pass out water, provided by FEMA, to residents in a neighborhood without grid electricity or running water in San Isidro, Puerto Rico, on Oct. 17, 2017.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency failed to properly prepare for last year's hurricane season and was unable to provide adequate support to hurricane victims in Puerto Rico and other areas, an internal report released by the agency concluded.
The report found Puerto Rico's emergency-supply warehouses were nearly empty when Hurricane Maria hit in October, without things like cots or tarps, because many of the supplies had been rerouted to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The report also found FEMA had been understaffed going into the hurricane season and that most specialized disaster staffers were deployed to the other storms when Maria struck.
The initial response was also hampered by huge communication challenges. Almost 95 percent of cell towers were down after the storm. But FEMA did not have enough working satellite phones to adequately spread to the island's leadership, making it difficult to get a handle on the scope of the damage.
As emergency supplies arrived, the report found, FEMA faced a major hurdle: it lacked visibility into what was being shipped by other government agencies or private sector partners, further hindering response decisions.
"Shipping containers often arrived in Puerto Rico labeled simply as 'disaster supplies,' requiring FEMA staff to unload and open containers to determine their contents," the report stated.
Many of the shortcomings outlined in the report — a lack of key supplies on Puerto Rico before the storm, unqualified staff, and challenges with delivering emergency supplies — were detailed in a recent Frontline and NPR documentary, Blackout in Puerto Rico, slated to re-air July 17.
The report also found FEMA struggled to track supplies from the mainland to the island and through distribution, saying the agency experienced "business process shortfalls." Frontline and NPR found serious flaws in many of the agency's supply contracts.
That lack of planning proved one of the agency's biggest stumbling blocks to the response. The report found the last FEMA disaster planning assessment for Puerto Rico was from 2012 and "underestimated the actual requirements in 2017." In particular, the plans "did not address insufficiently maintained infrastructure (e.g., the electrical grid)" or the "financial liquidity challenges" facing the bankrupt Puerto Rican government.
What's more, FEMA's leadership acknowledged it could have better anticipated the need for federal intervention. The report said that in 2011, a report on a FEMA preparedness exercise on the island "anticipated that the territory would require extensive federal support in moving commodities."
The most critical of those commodities in the weeks after the storm were generators. But the agency didn't have enough and was unable to quickly acquire more. While the agency ultimately installed more than 2,000 generators on Puerto Rico — a record number — FEMA had only 695 in stock when Maria hit and only 31 on the island three days after the storm.
FEMA Administrator Brock Long acknowledged in a foreword to the report that FEMA had work to do to improve its disaster response capability.
"With this report, FEMA and the emergency management community have an opportunity to learn from the 2017 Hurricane Season and build a more prepared and resilient Nation," Long wrote.
U.S. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat who serves on the Committee on Homeland Security, welcomed FEMA's critical assessment but said the agency needs to do more to prepare for this year's hurricane season.
"This report still does not explain how or why Puerto Rico was clearly treated differently than the states that faced natural disasters last year," Thompson said.
"I sincerely hope that FEMA has learned serious lessons from its inadequate response to Hurricane Maria," he added. "But with this year's hurricane season well underway, FEMA has not shown us that it is ready for anything resembling what we faced last year."

Q: Why PhoneGap always shows default splashscreen image? I'm testing a sample iOS app now, although I set all new launch images in Xcode (Summary tab of Project Target screen), PhoneGap 3.0 keeps showing its default splashscreen. Why? even when splashscreen is a plugin and not included by default in PhoneGap 3.0 now.
iOS document say about launch images but not splashscreen, and it even strongly recommend us to use a "first screen" similar as launch image, not something like about screen. Are these same?

A: It's not about cleaning or caching issues at all. The problem is PhoneGap includes all possible launch images in project template by default. These files are under Resources folder and copied to bundle's root folder on build event. Although I properly selected my own launch images in Xcode (Target/Summary screen), default PhoneGap's specific files e.g. Default~iphone.png overridden my files :(
Once issue is identified, you can fix it someway, but I prefer below steps:

*

*Delete all default icons and splashscreen files under /platforms/ios/AppName/icons and /splash folders. You surely don't need these placeholder images.

*In Xcode, select Targets/AppName, then tab Build Phases, delete all file names of images in the above step in section Copy Bundle Resources.

*Add your own images files for app icon and launch images here.

*Edit Info.plist file (file AppName-Info.plist under /platforms/ios/AppName/) to include your images, you will need to use CFBundleIcons and UILaunchImageFile keys. Go to iOS developer site for reference.

A: Splashscreen and launch image are the same thing.
You probably did everything right but iOS (especially in the simulator) often just doesn't change those things (splashscreen, icon etc.) during development process. Try to delete your app, clean your project (in Xcode: Product -> Clean (shift+cmd+k)) and reinstall your app.


The Backpack Kid, aka Russell Horning has dropped his debut song "Drip on Boat". He is better known for his "Floss" dance into a Katy Perry's "Swish Swish" video and SNL performance.
The 16-year old social media phenom teamed up with rising rap artist Swag Hollywood for the debut song.
"I've been wanting to release music for a few years now, but I've been so focused on the 'floss' that I haven't been able to get around to it. The time has finally come and I can't wait to share this new music with my supporters. The quality and production is on another level," the Backpack Kid stated.
The song will appear on his upcoming debut EP "SwagPack Kid", which is due out in 2019.
