What's on More to see and do Five free days out
Five free days out
Feeling the post-Christmas pinch? We bring you five days out you can enjoy without spending a thing.
The Fashion Museum in Bath (Free with National Art Pass) provides the perfect excuse to stare at shoes all day, without maxing out your credit card. Over 30,000 items span textile history from the 16th century to the present, including menswear and womenswear, day and evening dress and examples of alternative and contemporary fashion. Highlights include a group of embroidered waistcoats from 1742 and a collection of work by notable British designers, including Norman Hartnell. From the end of January, you can also enjoy two new exhibitions exploring polite dress in Georgian society and the career of David Sassoon.
Then head to the Grade I listed villa and former hotel, The Holburne Museum, where the permanent collection is admission free. Presented with the help of exhibition designers Metaphor, the approach to storytelling sees 18th-century culture and the rise of consumerism explained through porcelain, paintings and sculpture.
2. Birmingham
Get lost in one of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery's 40 permanent displays, which cover an expansive range of fine art, costume and jewellery, social history, archaeology and ethnography. Highlights include its unrivalled collection of more than 2,000 Pre-Raphaelite works and the ArtFunded Staffordshire Hoard of 7th century treasure. Don't miss the UK's only showing of Photorealism; a comprehensive retrospective charting the development of the movement over three generations, also shown at five other venues across Europe. (Entry to the Gallery is free to all; Photorealism is free with National Art Pass).
Later, join the celebrations at Ikon Gallery (free to all) which marks its 50th anniversary during 2014-15 with a series of specially themed exhibitions and a programme of free events, such as spotlight tours and storytelling performances.
Visit John Keats' former home and see the settings that inspired him to pen some of his most famous lines, such as 'The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves', from Ode to a Nightingale. Lodging with his friend Charles Brown from 1818 to 1820, it was here the poet fell in love with 'the girl next door' Fanny Brawne, and the place from which he travelled to Rome, where he died of tuberculosis aged just 25. Throughout January, a series of free events take place at Keats House, including live poetry readings and a special display of the writer's rarely seen Dear Sir Letter. (Keats House, free with National Art Pass).
Round off the day with a trip to the unique modernist home designed by Ernö Goldfinger in 1932, 2 Willow Road (free with National Art Pass) or the 17th-century Kenwood House (free to all), which brims with Old Master paintings and antique furnishing – both are just a short journey away via a lovely walk across Hampstead Heath.
4. Manchester
The new year marks the centenary of the First World War, which broke out in 1914. Spend a morning at IWM North (free to all), browsing its important collection of artefacts from the period, including possessions belonging to nurse Edith Cavell, who was executed for helping soldiers to safety, and the revolver owned by author JRR Tolkien while serving as a signal officer at the Battle of the Somme. Also worth seeing during your visit is Catalyst: Contemporary Art and War, which explores the reasons why artists create pieces about conflict, and features an ArtFunded work, Queen and Country, by Steve McQueen.
The Lowry (free to all), which is just opposite, houses an incredible collection of works by the popular 20th-century artist as well as temporary contemporary exhibitions. Currently on display is Performer as Curator: Alison Goldfrapp, for which the pop star has chosen a selection of works that have inspired her music.
5. Cardiff
You could easily spend a whole day in National Museum Cardiff (free to all), where classical paintings by Poussin and Snyders sit alongside works by modern greats such as Cézanne, Van Gogh and Rodin, as well as artefacts of archaeology and natural history. The current Peter Blake exhibition reveals the artist's love of the play Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas and has been timed to coincide with the centenary of the Welsh writer's birth.
For further great days out for free, there are National Museum Wales locations across the country, from an old coal mine that is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, Big Pit, to the National Roman Legion Museum that stands on the site of a fortress, first built in AD 75. (See the full list).

It follows Piper's experiences in and out of prison along with the experiences of a diverse ensemble. Piper Chapman played by Taylor Schilling is a woman who was sentenced to 15 months in Litchfield Penitentiary for helping her former girlfriend Alex Vause smuggle drug money in Europe several years before the first episode. The first season shows Piper's journey through the prison system, beginning with her rough first week, during which she accidentally makes several enemies and struggles to adapt to life on the inside, as well as reuniting with Alex.
In prison, she acquires several other nicknames throughout the series. Piper is assigned a bunk with Claudette, who treats her rudely at first, but eventually warms up to her. She works in the electrical shop at the prison and inadvertently takes a screwdriver from the tool crib and loses it. She is initially considered non-threatening by most of the other inmates.
Although she does her best to have empathy and be helpful to others, she is often accused of being profoundly self-obsessed, and she only comes to realize that this might be true after being sent to prison. She becomes enemies with Tiffany after she ridiculed her religious beliefs, and ended up beating her severely after a failed attempt on her life at the end of the first season, knocking out all of her teeth. In the second season, she is flown to Chicago to testify at the trial of Alex's former boss, Kubra Balik.
After perjuring herself at the recommendation of Alex, Piper is returned to Litchfield to serve the remainder of her sentence while Alex is released on early parole for her testimony. After learning her grandmother is dying, Healy assists her in getting furlough to visit her, and then to attend the funeral, which aggravates some of the other inmates. She is also commissioned by a journalist and friend of Larry's to secretly investigate the prison's books and later collaborates with Caputo to expose Figueroa's corruption, preventing Piper from being transferred to a prison in Virginia.

Op-Ed: We must provide more support to victims & survivors
by Guest Contributor April 26, 2022 April 26, 2022
This is an op-ed written by New York State Assemblyperson Anna Kelles who represents Tompkins County and parts of Cortland County. It was not written by The Ithaca Voice. To submit op-eds, letters to the editor or editorials, please send them to Matt Butler at mbutler@ithacavoice.com.
This week is National Crime Victims' Rights week — an opportunity for us to both take stock of how we show up for victims and survivors and to recommit ourselves to improving overall safety and supporting healing for everyone in our communities.
As a public health expert, I believe in following the data and one statistic is particularly jarring: Only 4% of crime victims receive any support from victim compensation funds nationwide. Policymakers across the country have designed several barriers to these life-saving resources that disproportionately lock out the same people and communities most likely to be harmed by crime and violence. For example, national data shows that Black people experience 10 times the gun homicides and 18 times the gun assault injuries compared to white people.
Not coincidentally, the communities that are most likely to have a disproportionate number of victims are also the same communities most likely to be harmed by mass incarceration. For example, 44% of people from Tompkins county that are in state prison are people of color, even though 81% of our overall county population is white. Black people represent only 4% of our county's population yet they represent 36% of county residents who are currently in prison.
Our current criminal justice system isn't working for all. That's why this year I'm collaborating with some of the state's leading victim and survivor advocates to advance a package of legislation promoting safety, healing and justice for all New Yorkers.
One bill in the Legislature, the Fair Access to Victim Compensation Act, would remove the most common barriers to compensation funds, while two other bills, the Elder Parole and the Fair & Timely Parole legislation, would restore the parole system to its original purpose of evaluating people's transformation and readiness for release. All three deserve to pass this year.
Victim compensation funds are used to help victims and survivors cover the costs that arise as a result of a crime, including hospital bills, burial expenses, temporary housing, or lock replacement. This funding can help survivors regain stability after a traumatic event as they seek to heal and establish a new "normal". However, several eligibility requirements can make victim compensation inaccessible, particularly for Black people, Indigenous people, and other People of Color (BIPOC), members of the LGBTQIA+ community, working class people, disabled people, and immigrants.
One major barrier to accessing these funds is the mandated reporting of crimes to law enforcement. People who have experienced trauma at the hands of police and the courts, as well as those without lawful immigration status, for example, may not feel safe going to their local precinct or even calling 911. Even when they do speak to law enforcement, many report that they are not taken seriously, whether because of their own arrest records or perhaps because they broke the law while trying to protect themselves. While there are diverse perspectives on how best to address the gap between law enforcement and communities, victims and survivors should not be deprived of support in the meantime.
Other barriers include funding request deadlines that are too short, definitions of harm that are too narrow, and a general lack of public awareness about the funds.
Overall community safety depends on everyone in the community having the resources they need and when necessary, engaging with a criminal justice system that prioritizes safety and healing. However, rather than directly supporting all victims, current victim compensation programs are often held as a bargaining chip to victims for aiding police and prosecutors in investigating the case, even when doing so may re-traumatize them. This, in turn, makes us all less safe, because we know that violence and trauma, left unaddressed, can become cyclical. The Fair Access to Victim Compensation Act is designed to prevent these negative consequences.
There's a common refrain: hurt people hurt people. Let's turn that around and recognize that healed people heal people. Those who have overcome trauma are often best positioned to help others do the same – to stop the cycles of violence. We know that when an incident of violence – or a pattern of violence – occurs, more often than not the person who caused the harm has, themselves, been a victim in the past. That does not, in any way, excuse their actions, or shield them from accountability, but it should factor into our collective long-term response. When we endeavor to heal one, we begin to heal all.
Yet, our current system is designed to prioritize punishment, often meeting harm with more harm without a pathway to transformation. Of the roughly 31,000 people in New York State prisons – many of them victims of crime before they were incarcerated – more than one-in-five is serving a life sentence. According to the State Comptroller, even as the overall prison population declined in recent years, the number of older adults behind bars has only grown and the effects are clear: New Yorkers are dying behind bars more than once every three days, according to data compiled by Columbia University, because, as the data shows, harsh and lifetime sentences and racially-biased parole denials ignore people's transformations behind bars. Under existing laws, the Parole Board most often only considers the nature of their original conviction, the one thing they can never change. This occurs despite the fact that rehabilitated people in prison routinely develop and facilitate some of the most effective anti-violence programs in the country.
The Elder Parole legislation, given the data that people physiologically age faster in prison and the fact that older people are significantly less likely to recidivate, provides those over 55-years-old who have served at least 15 years an opportunity to be heard by a parole board. Fair and Timely Parole legislation emphasizes an evaluation of an individual's actions while incarcerated, particularly actions that show transformation, as well as any risk of re-arrest, during a parole hearing.
Fair Access to Victim Compensation in combination with Elder Parole, and Fair & Timely Parole, collectively improve access to key resources for victims and survivors, promote a pathway to redemption for incarcerated people and their families, and create a framework for a criminal justice system that prioritizes justice and healing for all.

Education and the Supreme Court
By Mark Walsh — July 13, 2010 3 min read
The U.S. Supreme Court term that ended late last month was not nearly as significant for education law as the court's previous term. But it was one of momentous change in terms of personnel, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor serving her first year and generally ruling with the court's liberals, and the retirement after nearly 35 years of Justice John Paul Stevens, a champion of strict church-state separation and often of the rights of students. Here are capsule summaries of several cases school law experts were watching:
Nondiscrimination Policies in Schools
Christian Legal Society Chapter v. Martinez (08-1371)
The justices ruled that a law school may deny recognition to a Christian student group that refuses membership to gays and lesbians. The school's "accept-all-comers" policy, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in a 5-4 opinion for the court, is a reasonable, viewpoint-neutral condition on access to the privileges of registered student groups, and thus does not violate the First Amendment rights of the religious group.
The National School Boards Association, which had filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the National Association of Secondary School Principals on the law school's side, said the decision would help K-12 schools apply their nondiscrimination policies to student clubs.
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (08-205)
In a 5-4 ruling that defined the court's term, the justices overturned limits on campaign spending for political-advocacy ads by corporations and labor unions. The court overruled two precedents on campaign finance and struck down, under the First Amendment's free-speech clause, key provisions of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, better known as the McCain-Feingold law.
Although the AFL-CIO, of which the American Federation of Teachers is a member, had filed a brief opposing limits on union political speech, both the aft and the National Education Association criticized the court's decision, saying it would prove far more beneficial to corporate interests in federal elections than to unions.
Public Employees' Work Privacy
City of Ontario, California v. Quon (08-1332)
The court unanimously upheld a California city's search of a police officer's government-provided pager that revealed sexually explicit text messages. But it stopped short of issuing a broad ruling about the rights of public employees to be free of intrusive government searches of their communications devices and records.
The NSBA and the NASSP had urged the high court to rule broadly that public employees do not have reasonable expectations of privacy in their electronic communications on government technology. But Justice Anthony M. Kennedy said that the high court must "proceed with care" when considering the privacy expectations of workers.
Graham v. Florida (08-7412)
The court ruled that a sentence of life in prison without the possibility parole for a juvenile offender in a nonhomicide case violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The justices decided 6-3 to overturn the sentence of a Florida man who received such a sentence for a series of robberies he had committed at ages 16 and 17, although only five justices backed the broader Eighth Amendment ruling.
Justice Kennedy wrote for the majority that, in accord with a 2005 Supreme Court decision that barred the death penalty for juvenile offenders, developments in psychology and brain science continue to show that juveniles are more capable of change than are adults, and that their actions are less likely to be evidence of "irretrievably depraved character than are the actions of adults."
Perdue v. Kenny A. (08-970)
The justices ruled unanimously that federal courts may award enhanced attorneys' fees, above and beyond normal hourly rates, to lawyers who do an exceptional job in seeking institutional reform in such areas as foster care and education. But such enhanced awards will be upheld only in extraordinary circumstances, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote for the court. The justices ruled 5-4 that an enhancement of $4.5 million, on top of $6 million in regular hourly fees, to lawyers who brought about changes in Georgia's foster-care system was not justified.
The case was monitored by the NSBA, which filed a friend-of-the-court brief on the side of Georgia arguing that enhanced-fee awards would harm districts and discourage them from settling lawsuits seeking broad reforms.

Set within the Cornish Mining World Heritage site, the National Trust on the Tin Coast will be starting a new Arts Council England funded project this summer called Gorthwedh: Contrasts of the Tin Coast. Gorthwedh means contrast in Cornish, and this project will reflect on the area's industrial past, social change and it's meaning to residents and visitors today.
Callum Mitchell, Cornish-born artist will be working with the team on the Tin Coast and other local artists to develop work which will pose the question 'why is this place special to you'? Callum's previous work spans playwriting, film-making, curation and audio and he'll be getting out into the local area in Cornwall seeking out and listening to stories and perspectives from people in the local community to shape his work.
Working with Callum will be Falmouth University's Tom Ebdon and students from the BA (hons) Architecture course, to create temporary structures in the landscape to tell the stories as they start to take shape.
Gorthwedh is part of a series of events happening in the Tin Coast in summer and beyond. Come back to the website to find out more throughout the year. Part of Trust New Art, the National Trust's programme of contemporary arts.
A cultural landscape of World Heritage site status, it is a place defined by Cornish mining.

Фазовая диаграмма системы In-La
In-La (Indium-Lanthanum) A. Palenzona and S. Cirafici The assessed In-La phase diagram is based on [74Mcm]. The range of existence of In5La3 is between ~38.5 at.% La at 1086 C and ~37 at.% La at 1153 C. The " In3La2" found by [75Nov] probably corresponds to In5La3; the melting point reported by [75Nov] is the same as that for In5La3 obtained by [74Mcm]. From 0 to 5 at.% La, the liquidus line was drawn taking into account the solubility data of [71Deg]. At the eutectoid temperature, the solubility of In in (bLa) and in (gLa) was shown as 3.5 and 8.1 at.% In, respectively, and at the 742 C eutectic temperature, the solubility was reported as 10.2 at.% In in (gLa) [74Mcm]. No appreciable solid solubility of La in (In) was observed. Only In5La3 seemed not to be a line compound; [74Mcm] found a variable composition, but did not give the range. The magnetic susceptibility of InLa3 was measured in a pendulum magnetometer by [73Hei] from 10 to 370 K. The magnetic susceptibility strongly increases with decreasing temperature. These results, after impurity correction, were confirmed also by [78Des] in their nuclear magnetic resonance study of InLa3 and related phases. 58Ian: A.

Q: Unable to clear SQL Server sysmail queue Last night due to some bad code, my SQL Server tried sending a million emails. After 10k the emails started going into queue. I immediately stopped the sysmail service using exec sysmail_stop_sp.
Then I deleted all entries from sysmail_allitems, sysmail_faileditems, sysmail_send_retries, sysmail_senditems and sysmail_unsentitems.
I also cleared sysmail_event_log.
Assuming that it would clear my mail queue I started the sysmail services using
exec sysmail_start_sp

But to my surprise the sysmail is still trying to send emails but it cannot find them in sysmail_allitems.
I checked the mail queue using msdb.dbo.sysmail_help_queue_sp and it shows queue with queue_type 'mail' showing those million emails queue.
I rechecked all the tables and they all are empty. Where is this queue is being fetched?
Though no email were sent but still the server tried each and every email which lasted for few hours.
Any idea where the queue is fetched from?

A: *

*Stop SQL Server Agent

*Set it to start manually (using SQL Server Configuration Manager)

*Restart SQL Server when you can.

*Try to execute:

DECLARE @GETDATE datetime
SET @GETDATE = GETDATE();
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_delete_mailitems_sp @sent_before = @GETDATE;
GO

This should remove them all. The reason I mentioned stopping agent is so that it won't take a lock on them and stop you deleting them.

*Set Agent back to starting auto.

*Restart Agent

And hopefully there won't be a stream of emails coming out. You'll also have to check for any that are queued up in the mail server as well.
Hope that helps.

Darlington bridges restored as historic archive images released
Historic crests restored on railway bridge in Darlington.
Two historic railway bridges on Yarm Road in Darlington have been restored by Network Rail as part of a £60,000 investment.
The bridges, which were built in 1932, have been repainted in their original green colour. Historic crests on the structure have also been restored, making them much more visible and eye-catching, which helps to celebrate the town's railway heritage.
The upgrade to the structures, which began in July, has also seen minor repair work to the bridges. This will reduce the likelihood of disruption for passengers and make sure that trains can continue to run over the bridges reliably for years to come. The repairs also included cleaning and updating drainage, making it more pleasant for pedestrians walking under the structures.
Network Rail restores railway bridges on Yarm Road, Darlington.
Network Rail has worked closely with Darlington Borough Council on the project, which will also see work to freshen up the Grade II listed railway bridge on North Road. Here, the bridge will be repainted and some small defects will be mended.
To help mark the town's rich railway history, Network Rail has released new images from its own archives of the construction of the bridges on Yarm Road over 80 years ago. The photos show workers installing track and equipment onto the bridges.

Paul Rutter, route director for Network Rail's East Coast Route, said: "It's so important that we continue to preserve and protect railway heritage and I'm really happy with the results of this work.
"Not only have we improved the look of the bridges for residents and visitors, we've also made sure train services can continue to use them reliably in the coming years, which helps to maintain robust railway connections in and out of Darlington."
Peter Gibson, Member of Parliament for Darlington, said: "It is fantastic that this work has been carried out. Network Rail has done an outstanding job in carrying out the remedial work on the bridges which now look brand new. I am incredibly grateful to both Network Rail and Darlington Borough Council, and I look forward to seeing the work completed on North Road bridge.
"I was pleased to join the Network Rail team during the renovation and chat with them about the progression of the work on the bridge whilst it was undertaken. It is also wonderful to see Locomotion No. 1 brought back to life in the refreshed Coats of Arms on the bridges."
Leader of Darlington Borough Council, Cllr Heather Scott, said: "We're delighted to have assisted in this project. The project marks a good beginning ahead of work to upgrade Darlington railway station next year, as well as the 2025 railway celebration. This close working partnership with Network Rail is crucial moving forward."

You will receive a grade for each course you complete. Grades are based on your performance in the final examination, tests, essays, reports, assignments, presentations or other forms of classroom participation and laboratory exercises that are set by the course instructor.
Course grades range from A+ to F, with F carrying zero credit. For the purpose of calculating grade averages, numerical grade points are assigned to each course grade, except for a few special grades that do not carry credits.
Term Grade Average (TGA) is calculated across all courses taken in that term.
Cumulative Grade Average (CGA) is based on all the courses you have taken.
Major Cumulative Grade Average (MCGA) is based on the grade points earned for the courses used to fulfill the major requirement and, depending on the major, possibly also the corresponding School/IPO requirement for that major.
Transfer credits and a few special grades are omitted from the calculation of all three grade averages. All grade averages are reported using numerical points ranging from 0.0 to 4.3.
You are required to maintain good academic standing, which means a CGA of at least 1.5 in each term. If your CGA falls below 1.5 at the end of any regular term, excluding the first point of CGA calculation after entry, you will be put on academic probation.
Students on Academic Probation are not permitted to register in courses without approval, and you may be required to reduce your study load.
You will remain on Academic Probation until your CGA rises over 1.5.


Garrett and Jenna are growing like crazy, and so is mommy! This was the profile picture from 20 weeks. We are excited for our ultrasound in a couple weeks as getting to see the baby is always fun and having the reassurance that everything is developing properly is always a welcome moment. In the last 2 weeks I think I've finally conquered the sickness and nauseousness that came along with this pregnancy. I'm pretty sure a man made up the saying that "sickness is the sign of a healthy pregnancy", because while I can appreciate the truth of that saying it doesn't make you actually feel better in the midst of it. Now that we're halfway we should probably consider some names....we have nothing so far for a boy or girl, so this could be interesting.

Plenty of passion: Buenos Aires, Argentina
PUBLISHED: 13:27 12 October 2012 | UPDATED: 21:54 20 February 2013
While Buenos Aires may not have a surfeit of iconic landmarks it has more than 40 neighbourhoods, bursting with colour and life. Karen Bowerman explored the Argentine capital
Coca Cola willing to change
Amusingly, the colours of the teams main rivals (River Plate) are red and white, which is also the colour of Boca Juniors sponsors, Coca Cola.
The drinks manufacturer apparently agreed to change its signage on the stadium to black (and not red) and white so as not to upset Boca fans.
While La Boca is a tourist hotspot some areas arent safe to visit.
If you head to Recoleta along Avenida Figueroa Alcorta youll hit United Nations park wherell you cant fail to miss Floralis Generica, a gigantic steel and aluminium flower with petals that open and close with the sun.
La Recoleta: crowds look for Evita
This and La Boca were the highlights of my city tour. But while La Boca was bursting with energy La Recoleta won me over with its sense of calm.
The district is famous for its impressive cemetery, home to the rich and famous. They wanted to be buried in the same way they lived, Yuna explained.
We wandered through the fantastically carved tombs to find that of Eva Peron (theres always a small crowd). A Brazilian father was lining his family up for a photo.
Do we have to? His teenage son moaned. I mean, why did we really have to come here?
Because she was the best woman that ever was, his father replied.
It led to Yuna and I discussing the film, Evita. Not many Argentines like it, she said, because it was a musical. Eva Peron had no association with music. It was ridiculous. I could see her point.
I could have spent longer in the cemetery, but we still had Palermo to explore, known for its street side cafes and boutique shops.
Vamos Merienda!
Lets hang out! is a typical Argentine expression and stopping for coffee is a favourite pastime of portenos. If you join them, make sure you try dulce de leche, a sticky caramel spread that you smother on media lunas (croissants).
While the small plazas of Palermo are the fashionable places for coffee, if youre in the city centre, you could try the coffee shop said to have been frequented by Einstein!
Its Caf Tortoni on Avenida de Mayo and is easily recognisable by the queues outside.
Is it really that busy? I asked Yuna, as we counted at least 30 people lining the pavement.
No, she replied. Its popular, but you dont really need to wait that long. The owner does it to impress the tourists!
With that her face broke into a grin. She suggested we gave up on coffee and got a dulce de leche ice cream instead, which, given the heat, sounded a great idea!
SayHueque www.SayHueque.com organises daytrips, city tours and holidays to Argentina. Yuna Castano is one of their senior guides. Itineraries can be organised via the efficient and friendly Ana: ana@sayhueque.com
Stay in: the spacious self-catering Forcadell (F) Apartments www.forcadellapartments.com, the classic Savoy hotel www.savoyhotel.com.ar or the boutique Duque Hotel, www.duquehotel.com, with spa and pool in the fashionable Palermo Soho district. All can be arranged via SayHueque.com
While Buenos Aires may not have a surfeit of iconic landmarks it has more than 40 neighbourhoods, bursting with colour and life. Karen Bowerman explored the Argentine capital.
My guide, Yuna Castano, got our driver to pull over. This is the widest part of the widest street in the world, she said, beaming from ear to ear, her grin summing up the pride portenos (residents of Buenos Aires) have in their city.
We were in the middle of Avenida 9 de Julio in the capital of Argentina. The 16 lane street (its 142m wide, with a 68m obelisk at its centre) links the tree-lined neighbourhood of Recoleta in the north with one of the poorest districts, Constitucion, in the south.
The fact we were talking about a road, just minutes into our city tour, seemed to suggest, as guidebooks claim, that Buenos Aires is a city that lacks iconic landmarks. But while it may not excel architecturally, it has plenty of passion and soul.
A city of steaks and soul
This is a city synonymous with tango and football, and where both are pursued with zeal. Carnivores are exceptionally well catered for and wine lovers can enjoy full-bodied reds.
Theres a vibrant nightlife, a range of accommodation and plenty of portenos, most of whom are friendly and happy to help.
Theres no denying the citys huge, its home to around a third of the countrys 40 million population, but luckily for visitors, most of the must-see sights are centred in a few, easily accessible, neighbourhoods.
Buenos Aires: getting around
Buenos Aires is made up of 48 barrios (neighbourhoods) built round the Microcentre or business district. Make sure you have a map, but dont fret if you get lost. The citys built on a grid system, so you can always go round the block!
Just south of the Microcentre is Plaza de Mayo, where youll find the citys main historic landmarks. To the northeast is swanky Puerto Madero, to the northwest Recoleta with its famous cemetery (home to Eva Peron), while south youll find perhaps BAs most well known neighbourhood, La Boca, famous for its brightly painted houses made from corrugated metal.
The pink presidential palace
The focal point of Plaza de Mayo is a small obelisk (Piramide de Mayo) built to mark the citys first anniversary of independence from Spain, but its the Casa Rosada or Pink House, the ceremonial home of Argentinas president that attracts most attention.
The faade overlooking the square is actually the back of the building, but the balconies are what everyone wants to see, since it was here that President Juan Peron and his first lady Eva (plus Madonna in the film Evita) rallied the crowds.
There are a couple of explanations as to why the palace is pink one a lot more palatable than the other!
Some say President Sarmiento (1868-1874) blended the red of the federalists with the white of the Unitarists (those who wanted to join forces with Europe) to try to bring about peace during his tenure.
Others claim it was painted with bovine blood, which wouldnt have been unusual in the 19th century!
The silent protests of the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo
Every Thursday, the Madres (mothers) de la Plaza de Mayo hold silent protests in the plaza, demanding the government is held accountable for the atrocities of the Dirty War (1976-1983).
It was a time when at least 13,000 leftwing activists, students and journalists disappeared during the military dictatorship.
Catedral Metropolitana: home to a hero
The citys baroque cathedral, Catedral Metropolitana, is another must-see. Its opposite the Plaza de Mayo and contains the tomb of one of countrys most revered heroes, General Jose de San Martin (1778-1850).
The Argentine general played a key role in South Americas struggle for independence.
One bridge: two interpretations
West of the Microcentre youll find Congreso, with its Avenida 9 de Julio, the landmark Teatro Colon (the largest opera house in the southern hemisphere before Sydneys was built) and the colossal Palacio del Congreso, Congress building, modelled on its counterpart in Washington.
East is one of BAs newest districts, Puerto Madero, where brick warehouses have been converted into classy hotels and prime real estate.
Dont miss the futuristic looking bridge, Puente de la Mujer (womens bridge) designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava who created a similar bridge (the Samuel Beckett bridge) for Ireland.
Yuna told me a fabulous story: that while Calatrava told Buenos Aires the design resembled the flicked leg of a tango dancer, he convinced Dublin it represented a harp!
La Boca: home to tango, soccer and colour
The neighbourhood of La Boca, meaning mouth as it was once at the mouth of the river Riachuelo, is known for tango, soccer and colourful buildings.
The brightly painted houses came about in the 1880s when Italian and Spanish immigrants who worked in the shipyards used left over paint to decorate their corrugated metal clad homes.
Tango came with the brothels, when men used to partner each other to entertain the women. Youll find the dance practised everywhere, especially in Caminito, the districts most popular street.
La Bocas also a good place to pick up local handicrafts. Many of the shops are in conventillos (tenements), created in the late 19th century when local mansions were divided up for rent. Some homes were split into 170 rooms making for very uncomfortable living.
Yuna put it bluntly. Tourists think the area is colourful and pretty but the sad truth is that round the corner (in San Telmo) people still live in conventillos, in the same cramped conditions but with less hope, than 200 years ago.
A few blocks from Caminito is the home of Boca Juniors soccer team. Their stadium is knicknamed La Bombonera, the chocolate box, as it was built in several stories (or layers), so planners could squeeze it in to an already crowded city.

Q: Error encountered checking Geometry returned from GEOS C function "GEOSGeom_createLinearRing_r" Trying to generate a polygon field for my region and cities for geotagging.
Idea is to save the coordinates separately from Gmaps. Then use them to generate a region polygon.
For regions like NCR in India, you have multiple cities like Delhi, Noida. Gurgaon etc. So these cities form the subset of the polygon.
So you create a polygon and save with every city, then make a multipolygon to save at a regional level.
Encountered this error. Please help

Volume 4, Issue 44; November 3, 2004:
Status Risk and Risk Status
One often-neglected project risk is the risk of inaccurately reported status. That shouldn't be surprising, because we often fail to report the status of the project's risks, as well. What can we do to better manage status risk and risk status?
Warner glared his famous glare, and for once, he had a legitimate complaint. "Let me see if I have this right," he began. "You knew back in July that we had memory footprint problems, but you waited to report it until now. Is that right?"
Robin had nowhere to go. "Yes, that's right. We felt it was best to wait until we were sure we had a problem."
"Well, we have a problem now, don't we?" Warner replied.
"Yes, and that's why…" Robin began, but Warner wouldn't let her finish.
"That's why you're reporting it, I know, I know."
Robin has made a serious error, but the mistake isn't hers alone. She failed to alert the project sponsor to a problem when she first became aware of it. And Warner's intimidating style tends to discourage early reporting of trouble.
Together, they're living out one of the consequences of status risk: the risk of failing to report status promptly and fully. Here are some sources of status risk:
Status risk is high
when realistic status
reporting is punishable
Rewarding positive reports and punishing negative reports
At any link in the status reporting chain, the report recipient might be signaling that only positive reports are acceptable. The signal can be unintentional, or it can be very deliberate.
People can bring to the reporting task their experiences with prior projects or prior managers. If they've learned along the way that realistic reporting is punishable, they're likely to apply those past lessons.
When new people assume responsibility for work underway, their perceptions about status are likely to be inaccurate.
Because most of us want things to go well, we sometimes fool ourselves that our wishes match reality, especially if we've become attached to the task. See "Managing Wishful Thinking Risk," Point Lookout for October 21, 2015, for more about wishful thinking.
Making status reporting a group task helps mitigate status risk. Form a status review team that's responsible for reviewing status reports. Normally, they'll easily reach consensus, but any failure to reach consensus is valuable information in itself — it signals the need for a closer look by management.
Even when we manage Status Risk, there remains the too-common failure to report — or even to track — Risk Status. Most status reports focus on budget, schedule, milestones achieved, work completed, and so on. But we rarely report or track the status of our initial risk profile, and that can lead to surprised (and very upset) project sponsors. Including a review of the risk profile in each status report helps to limit the incidence of surprising disasters.
Status Risk and Risk Status are intimately intertwined. In part, the sources of status risk contribute to our spotty reporting of risk status. And by creating the conditions for surprising disasters, failure to track risk status can enhance status risk. Address both — or don't bother. Top Next Issue

The Retrospective Funding Problem
If your organization regularly conducts project retrospectives, you're among the very fortunate. Many organizations don't. But even among those that do, retrospectives are often underfunded, conducted by amateurs, or too short. Often, key people "couldn't make it." We can do better than this. What's stopping us?

PlayStation, will 2023 mark the return of a franchise from the past?
In the course of 2023, PlayStation players could return to embrace a new exclusive, belonging to a franchise now abandoned. At the moment there are no confirmations on this but the message of the insider Tom Henderson appears quite clear: in a couple of years there could be a great return on the Sony home consoles.
Henderson (decidedly prolific insider, especially in the field of first person shooter) did not comment on this, but preferred to accompany Twitter users with an image. An image taken from Twisted Metal, which would be the exclusive PlayStation ready to return to consoles in the course of 2023. The caption that accompanies the artwork in fact indicates the year and is a quite incredible coincidence: it is possible that Sony is preparing a comeback? The tweet leaves no room for doubt, but obviously it is good to check all the elements supporting this theory.
Twisted Metal has a fairly long history on the PlayStation console. The game has in fact appeared on all Sony home consoles, with the exception of the PS4 housewife. The last official appearance dates back to 2012, on PS3, with the arrival of a reboot simply called Twisted Metal. From then on there was no sign of a possible return, not even in the form of a TV series or film, a field in which Sony began to focus seriously between the series of The Last of Us and the new Uncharted feature film.

In some respects, Henderson's tweet leaves no room for any interpretations. Twisted Metal is expected to return in 2023, at least for the insider, but the nature of the project may still be an unknown factor. The last chapter, that of 2012, was developed by Eat Sleep Play, a defunct software house created by David Jaffe and Scott Campbell. So take it all as an August rumor: with pliers. In case of official updates, which however would arrive only in the course of next year we will notify you, so stay tuned to geekinco to not miss any news in the pipeline.

PlayStation Plus Cyber Monday deals: what we expect to see
© Provided by TechRadar ps plus
Cyber Monday is a fantastic time to refresh your PlayStation Plus subscription. Whether you're looking for a full 12 months or just a few, PlayStation Plus Cyber Monday deals are often very easy to come by.
In both the US and UK, we've seen a number of retailers offer big discounts on PS Plus subscriptions on Cyber Monday in the past, with some offering close to half off a year's sub. This is excellent value for gamers who routinely play online, which has been a boon for many during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This year, Cyber Monday 2021 takes place on November 29. As always, that's just a few days after Black Friday. And while we expect to see some solid PS Plus subscription discounts go live across the entire sales period, Cyber Monday has traditionally been an apt time to buy.
And if you're looking into PS Plus for the first time, why should you bother? Well, not only does the service allow you to play online, you'll also get high-quality games to download each month at no extra cost. Some of the best games in recent years have featured on PS Plus in 2021, including Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Star Wars: Squadrons and Control: Ultimate Edition. It's an excellent way to expand your library, especially if you've managed to get hold of a PS5 as well.
Why PlayStation Plus Cyber Monday deals matter
Retailers will have a vested interest in hosting PlayStation Plus deals this Cyber Monday. Looking at last year's stats from Statista, not only can we see a marked rise in Cyber Monday profit to $10.8 billion on the day alone, other interesting stats emerge.
Overall footfall across the sales period was down drastically across the board for high streets, retail parks and shopping malls. That's largely down to the Covid-19 pandemic, of course, which instilled a preference for consumers to shop online.
Plus, as many of us chose to stay inside during the pandemic, people sought to connect with each other online. This is where subscription services like PS Plus and Xbox Live come into play. As both are paid services, it's understandable that those looking to play online often would seek out a deal on Cyber Monday.
When will the best PlayStation Plus Cyber Monday deals start in 2021?
While Cyber Monday (November 29) is a great time to look for a PlayStation Plus subscription discount, we'd also recommend you to be on the lookout for a bargain before that date. Black Friday on November 26 is sure to have some deals on PS Plus subscriptions, for example.
But expect to see deals go live even before that. Last year, we saw many retailers begin their sales periods as early as October. This was due to the fact that many people chose to shop online and avoid the high street. As such, retailers adopted a more widespread, but laidback approach to the sales period, and revenue soared because of it.
Where are the best places to find PlayStation Plus Cyber Monday deals?
While we're going to be tracking the best PlayStation Plus Cyber Monday deals right here on the day, there's no time like the present to prepare you for the sales period ahead. Cyber Monday is still a ways off, sure, but it never hurts to know which retailers are most likely to offer great discounts ahead of time.

As Sony itself usually drops the PS Plus subscription price around this time (the PlayStation maker discounted the service to just £37.49 from £49.99 in the UK last year), third party retailers are more than likely to undercut the official source.
In the US, for example, CDKeys offered a stunning deal on a 12-month PS Plus subscription, dropping it to just $32.99 from the usual $60.
As PlayStation Plus subscriptions aren't physical items, stock shouldn't be an issue this Cyber Monday, or during the entire sales period. This means that retailers will be more confident to sell PS Plus subscriptions in large quantities at heavily discounted prices.
How can I get the best PlayStation Plus Cyber Monday deals on the day?
Even though you might think Sony's PlayStation Store would be a reliable avenue to nab yourself a good PS Plus subscription deal, we'd recommend treating the service as a last resort. Sony does discount the service around the sales period, but other retailers are likely to offer even better deals.
Check out the retailers we've listed above. These are the ones we feel are most likely to offer big discounts based on previous years. If you can't find a better deal there (and we'd be surprised about that), then Sony itself should be a reliable discount source.

St. Moritz, Pontresina and Zuoz: the Engadin attracts guests from all over the world. Sit back comfortably on an RhB train and explore the sun-kissed high valley in the most pleasant way possible.
The popular holiday destinations of St. Moritz and Pontresina and picturesque villages such as Zuoz and S-chanf lie right in the middle of the broad valley. St. Moritz is famed as the birthplace of winter mountain holidays and known the world over as an Alpine 'metropolis'.
The view goes on for miles: from Muottas Muragl at 2,456 metres above sea level you can look out over all Upper Engadin.
Take a trip with us into Engadin and visit one of the many highlights.
It looks like a village from a fairytale: Pontresina features both stylish hotel buildings from the Belle Epoque era and houses in the traditional Engadin style with sgraffito wall decorations. Woods exuding the wonderful smell of Swiss pine and imposing glaciers surround the spa town, situated at 1,800 metres above sea level.
The view from Muottas Muragl has been inspiring painters and writers for centuries. That's why the hut in which Giovanni Segantini used to work is close by. And there's a seven-kilometre-long Philosophers' Trail that retraces the footsteps of great thinkers. The hotel and viewing platform can be easily reached by cable car.
St. Moritz and Celerina's very own mountain is one of the world's most famous winter sports playgrounds – thanks also to its «champagne climate». The RhB one-franc special is the cheap way to reach the Corviglia ski slopes. In summer, hikers and bikers revel in the force of nature at 3,057 metres above sea level.
At St. Moritz railway station you can find out more about the stunning UNESCO World Heritage route: video projections send you on a journey through various climate zones, route profiles illustrate the engineering achievements in terms of mapping out the route and building man-made structures. The exhibition is free and open daily from 9.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m.

SUZY-MENKES
Iris van Herpen: Sorceress of style
21st Apr 2015
Suzy Menkes meets the Dutch designer in her studio.
Despite the appeal of the dresses sculpted in mysterious materials in Iris van Herpen's Amsterdam studio, my eyes were instead drawn to the swell of water outside the window.
Looking out over the bay at the art of nature while she works on scientific exploration seems like an interesting contrast. So I asked this Dutch designer of hyper-modern materials and futuristic fabrics, what does this naturalist vision mean to her?
"It is difficult to say, but I do think it has an influence on my work," she explained. "I have been working on dresses inspired by water. It is this on-going fantasy of being able to use materials that you cannot control – and water is one of them."
Iris Van Herpen, 30, is probably the fashion designer with the most sci-fi sartorial vision. In her studio, hand workers were coaxing incomprehensible materials into snake-like swirls, or moulding super-fine metallics shot with colour.
The work of the hyper-original designer – who won the coveted French ANDAM Fashion Award last year – shows such a unique approach, that I had to ask her whether she sees herself as a fashion designer, a technician, or a magician – or even a scientist.
"I am definitely not a scientist," she said. "I get a lot of inspiration from different fields, but I really see myself as a designer who is introducing those diverse areas into fashion. And that is my goal. It is not about the art or science separately; it is about taking bits from different fields and bringing them into my work.
"I do feel really inspired by so many fields," she continued. "Technology, arts, dance – even philosophy. All of this comes together in my work."
I looked round the studio where four people were working intensely, hands on, with materials that were difficult to comprehend – although Iris herself was wearing a simple, soft, long black dress that looked more discernibly wearable than the stiffly moulded dresses on display.
It turned out that some of the outfits were being remade for the first solo Iris van Herpen exhibition, which will take place later this year in Atlanta, Georgia.
I asked her how much time was spent on scientific experiments.
"The biggest part of making a collection is the research," she said. "It is the thing I get most excited about – finding new techniques and materials, and people to work with. It's really a learning process of trying and experimenting and making mistakes. I think it's the most important part of the work and the collections."
The Iris Van Herpen Paris Fashion Week shows have included some extraordinary presentations, such as models hung onstage inside giant plastic bags. The clothes are equally unlikely, and after studying a dress that appeared to be pieces of glass intersected with twigs, I asked the designer about both the vision and the execution.
"I thought of this look as a halo; an entity around you, because you still see the silhouette of the body, but there is this transparency around it," she said. "It definitely has a different life to it; it looks a bit like it is growing out of you. It is a collaboration with an artist-architect. He inspires me, and we worked a lot with 3D structures."
"The idea is of technology versus handwork," she continued. "This piece has been designed but then laser cut by machines, then heated up in the oven and pulled out, and then it is all assembled by hand, so it's a nice mix between human activity and machines."
I asked the designer how she would categorise these dresses with so much handwork – even if not of the conventional kind. Could they be described as modern couture? She has, after all, been made a guest member of the Syndicale de la Haute Couture.
"I definitely think it is a new form of couture, there is a lot of time and handwork in it, but then we combine it with new materials and technology, so it is different," she said.
Iris told me that her favourite dress is one from her last runway collection, shown in Paris. It is circular, representing infinity, or, as she put it, "the idea of the circle going into the circle going into the circle".
She then described her concept of the galaxy, created by colours brought about by burnt metal, which appear "subtle, but intense at the same time". She said the "original colour of the material is this grey silver, like shine, and then all of the colours you see are literally created by fire.
"We are using a torch that has a really hot, blue fire, and then we can create colour by deciding the amount of heat," she continued. "So all the colours you see are different heats. I am really subtle with colour, but because it is done with fire, it works well together. There is a nice overlap."
What astounded me the most was when she sent out her A/W15-16 Magnetic Motion collection. She collaborated with artist Jólan van der Wiel, working with magnets, and together they created shoes that appeared to grow like blades of grass on the runway.
Iris said she had been inspired by her visits to CERN, the European Organization of Nuclear Research.
"How can I use a force like that in my work, growing and creating something?" she recalled.
"It is like a dual-component material, where there is rubber inside and it is still soft, so you can pour it onto something. If you put the magnet underneath, in a few seconds you literally see it grow."
I left the studio exhilarated, slightly overwhelmed but excited to see a designer so dedicated to making the future happen.
