Home Oil And Gas News CNOOC's Giant Semi-submersible Platform Arrives at Lingshui 17-2 Field
CNOOC's Giant Semi-submersible Platform Arrives at Lingshui 17-2 Field

China's offshore oil and gas major CNOOC Ltd has delivered Shenhai-1, a 53,000-tonne, 120-meter tall locally built semi-submersible production and storage platform to its deepsea gas project in the South China Sea, a state-owned media has reported.
That marks a key step for CNOOC to start producing from Lingshui 17-2, a large natural gas deposit about 1,500 meters below the sea surface, the state oil major's first fully-owned deepwater gas project, People's Daily said in a report late Monday.
Building of the massive facility of Shenhai-1, meaning deepsea, was completed at Chinese shipyard Yantai last month after 21 months of work that saw 4,000 workers working day and night during its peak construction period.
The platform is able to store a maximum 20,000 cubic meters of condensate, a very light oil that typically co-exists in a natural gas reservoir, CNOOC said earlier.
It took 18 days for the giant platform to sail 1,600 nautical miles from Yantai in east China to the site of the gasfield about 150 kilometers (93.21 miles)southeast of Hainan island, towed by three high-horsepower tug vessels.
CNOOC has aimed to start producing gas at Lingshui 17-2 in the second half of 2021, with annual production of 3 billion cubic meters, or about 1.6% of China's total domestic gas production.
Shenhai-1 can also be used for serving new gas fields like Lingshui 18-1 and Lingshui 25-1, the report added.

Q: How to create an automatically reconnect webSocket class extends WebSocket in JavaScript We can have a function to implement the reconnect. I know can just modify the close function, eg.
let ws = new WebSocket(uri);
ws.onclose = () => {
  ws = new WebSocket(uri);
}

but what if I want to use a class?
class AutoWebSocket extends WebSocket {
  constructor(uri, protocols) {
   super(uri, protocols);
  }
  onclose() {
    this = new AutoWebSocket(uri, protocols);
  }
}

I got error with:

Parsing error: Invalid left-hand side in assignment expression

How to resolve it?

A: You can't reassign this, you can only read from it, therefore it is invalid on the left-hand side of an expression.
If you need to recreate the socket, use composition, not inheritance:
 class AuoWebSocket {
   constructor(uri, protocols) {
     this.uri = uri; this.protocols = protocols;
     this.init();
   }

   init() {
      this.socket = new WebSocket(uri, protocols);

      this.socket.onerror = () => {
        this.init();
      };
   }
 }

the candy from the 70s, cherry flavor, which is still sold in spades
Today few remember Telly savalas, the American actor famous for playing the policeman Theo Kojak in the television series of the same name. However, few Spaniards are unfamiliar with the legendary Kojak candy, which has been triumphing in candy kiosks for almost half a century.
The invention, of the Fiesta company, has been manufactured throughout its life in the company's plant in Alcala de Henarés (Madrid), inaugurated in 1965. There the word "lollipops", although it has been collected for decades in the RAE dictionary, is banned, since it comes from a trademark registered by the competition. They like it more "Lollipop", which is also in the dictionary, but is a Fiesta brand, born from mixing the word "palette" –as lollipops were known in Latin America– and "pirulí", a typical Cuban sweet.
The Kojak is, they insist, a "Lollipop". The first gum filling, thanks to a technology that, almost 50 years after its invention, is still unique in the world. It is impossible to take photos or videos of the specific mechanism by which the candy is filled. It is a state secret.
"The patent has expired and they have tried to copy us, but nobody has succeeded ", explains our host, the head of digital marketing Jonathan González. "The experience of how you get to the gum is incopiable."
1 A best-selling candy
2 A laboratory of new flavors
A best-selling candy
Since 2015, Fiesta belongs to the multinational Colombina, a huge Colombian food company specialized in all kinds of sugar derivatives, which has a turnover of 700 million dollars a year. Colombina is present in 70 countries and manages 800 referencesBut it was no stranger to the power of the brands it had just acquired. Fiesta recovered since the purchase, when it was in bankruptcy, and has not stopped growing since then
Sales of gum-filled lollipops grow at a rate of 8% per year
In a world in which there is increasing awareness of the dangers of excessive sugar consumption, it is surprising to discover that the hard candy category moves 300 million euros per year in Spain in the retail trade. And it is growing. "The TV does not represent the general opinion of the street," ditch the head of marketing partying.
Mythical candies like Kojak continue to enjoy iron health. As González explains, specifically the sales of "candy with sticks filled with gum" grow at a rate of 8% per year, and 90% of that growth belongs to the Kojaks. There are, and have been, many flavors: cola, watermelon, strawberry and cream … Also "without sugar". But the classic, that of Cherry, is still Fiesta's best seller, above its also mythical lollipops, the Lolipop or the Fresquito.
We are before a prodigy of marketing, a field that the founder of Fiesta, the Puerto Rican Juan Eugenio Mayoral Renovales.

Fiesta bought Kojak's license before the series even premiered in Spain
It was a supplier from the United Kingdom who notified Mayoral that in the country the Kojak crime series, which had caused a sensation for its sordid surroundings and a use of violence to which they were little used at the time. The protagonist spent the day with a "lollipop" in his mouth.
Mayoral bought Kojak's license even before the series premiered in Spain: that way he was able to get the candy out just when it started airing, in May 1975.
After the launch, Fiesta hired a double from Telly savalas with which a series of advertisements was made in which he came out sucking on the new gum-filled candy. The company has tried by all means to locate the spot, of which all copies have disappeared. Today we only know him by those who remember him and through stills.
Telly Savalas as Teo Kojak.
A laboratory of new flavors
Every year Fiesta releases around 20 new products, most of them new flavors of their legendary candies. The last Kojak, destined for the public gamer, is from guarana, a flavor that has become fashionable due to energy drinks. There are chilly spicy or that paint your tongue. And, in recent years, the company has pulled scones and flash ice cream, to cover the most typical consumption of Christmas and summer, when hard candies are sold less.
The company, explains Gónzalez, has an R&D department that works together with that of marketing to investigate new developments: "There flavors, colors, shapes, textures are tested … Everything. And that's where the new releases come from. From marketing a concept is launched for respond to market trends, with consumer studies, and that is worked with R&D ".
In the world of candy, the most important thing is to find good scents, like the Fiesta cherry, the source of so many joys for the company, which is one of its best kept secrets.
Could it have been the strawberry Kojak? It is not known for sure why it was chosen to make both the lollipops and the cherry-flavored Kojak, but González believes that it has to do with a certainty. question of fashions.
"At that time the cherry would be a trend," he explains. "The theme of flavors goes by fashions. Is pure marketing. Also the colors and textures. The marketing That is, responding to consumer needs with a product adapted to what you are looking for. We have a lot of work ".

Acropoversy
Yesterday, the Buffalo News wrote about the controversy surrounding the Acropolis; a "he said, she said" recitation of the two sides' accusations against each other. If that was all you read and knew about the situation, you'd have no idea who was telling the truth, and who was lying, or who is being unreasonable.
By contrast, the Dining Rumor has a well-reasoned and persuasive take on the situation surrounding the expansion and playing of music at Acropolis.
"The question here is not about Paul's character, or whether or not he runs a good business — the issue at hand is how the intended changes will adversely affect the Elmwood Village residential community." This is the complaint, put as succinctly as possible, and it is this complaint alone that needs addressing. So, how does Paul's quality of character or quality of business relate to the question of how a "new" Acropolis will affect Elmwood Village living conditions? DIRECTLY. The negative response from "Elmwood Villagers" is emotional, irrational, and just plain fearful if they are going to, as many of them do, concede the points that Paul is a) a man of character, integrity, and upstanding citizenship and b) that he runs a quality business. My question is — how does updating, renovating, increasing, or altering Acropolis's business imply that Paul will attend to the new aspects of this business with any less quality or integrity than he attends to it in its current form? Will he be less conscientious? Will he care for it less as it grows? If Paul's a good guy, and he runs a good business, how will the expansion change the acceptable manner in which he's run his business to this point? Unless this is just lip service, to ease the criticisms of Paul's business into people's ears.
The neighbors' complaints seem to be that Acropolis' changes may lead to drunken people doing drunken things – something that didn't happen when it was a postage stamp-sized diner. But, as Dining Rumor points out,
The complaint of drunken rabble, carousing down Elmwood Avenue due to a DJ event hosted by Acropolis is patently ABSURD. In the walkable three blocks of Elmwood on either side of West Ferry there are over a dozen establishments with liquor and late night hours. To say that Acropolis featuring a DJ or serving liquor poses a singular threat to peace, quiet, and clean lawns in the Elmwood Village is ridiculous. The Blue Monk churns out a college crowd hopped up on high octane beer…hipsters, twentysomethings, and thrill seekers rove the streets from Bullfeathers to Thirsty Buffalo to Faherty's and back again…even Cecelia's has played host to the occasional late night, out of control frat party. Why is Acropolis being singled out? The names of the owners of those other establishments don't come up in a discussion of the behavior of their piss-drunk patrons; no one is giving them quite so much hell.
Chris will be writing more about the Acropoversy soon, but make no mistake – it is a parable; the very embodiment of every single thing that's wrong not just with Buffalo and her government, but frankly with a very small, but very loud, self-important, and entitled minority of people who have anointed themselves as the protectors of some Elmwood fantasyland where peace and quiet reign in one of the most bustling parts of the city.
This is a combination of entrenched political ineptitude and corruption, of myriad regulations that average people are unable reasonably to navigate, of a fundamental difficulty in getting business done in town, and of dealing with people who think they have a right to dictate how a business can and should conduct itself. You shouldn't have to hold community meetings to expand your existing business onto an existing second floor. You shouldn't have to apply for and obtain license after permit after license – many of which the city doesn't make it clear you need. More importantly, you shouldn't have to retain the services of a high-priced fixer to navigate the bundles of city red tape. (That's literally how it's done in third world countries.) But the real offense comes from people who object to a grown-up place catering to a grown-up clientele, serving booze and playing music in a city environment.
The notion that the city and alleged "neighbors" are punishing Acropolis before a single noise complaint has been lodged is outrageous. And furthermore, if it's peace and quiet you're after, you live in the wrong place.

Lloyd to Buffalo: Kickstart Our Second Truck!
Lloyd's Taco Truck No. 3 by gmeadows1 on Flickr
First, it was the Community Beer Works that used crowd funding service Kickstarter to help finance its growth, now Lloyd Taco Truck is turning to Buffalo, using Kickstarter to help fund a second truck. From their press release:
Moving forward on their quest to bring Western New York fresh and delicious food, the owners of Lloyd Taco Trucks launched a campaign today to purchase a second food truck, Lloyd Dos. Click here to view the web page. Using Kickstarter, the world's largest funding platform for creative projects, the effort will help mobilize customers and allow supporters to pool additional funds needed for the truck's down payment. Patrons' generosity will not go unnoticed, as they will receive enticing rewards for their participation.
"We are extremely grateful for the warm response we've received over the past year and a half," said Peter Cimino, co-founder of Lloyd Taco Trucks. "We get requests to bring the truck to new locations on a daily basis. We wish we could satisfy our fans' Lloyd cravings more often, so we are asking them to kindly support the cause and pledge at whatever level they are able."
Kickstarter provides a means for business owners and entrepreneurs to offer unique products and experiences in exchange for monetary support. The system is "all or nothing funding," which means a project must reach its goal before time runs out or receives nothing. Lloyd fans will have 30 days to pledge their support toward the company's $12,500 goal.
"We imagined what would be most valuable to our fans, including exclusive and priceless offerings," said Chris Dorsaneo, co-founder and chef of Lloyd. "Rewards include a year's supply of burritos, a private five course meal with wine pairings, and even a Lloyd speed pass, which moves the bearer to the front of the line every time."
Pledge levels start at $10 and offer a variety of accumulating rewards for each gift. All donors will get to sign the truck, receive a Lloyd bumper sticker and a free taco. Those pledging $2,000 or more will earn a catered party for up to 50 guests with a personalized menu featuring their favorite Lloyd specials.
About Lloyd Taco Trucks
Lloyd Taco Trucks is a traveling Buffalo food experience serving fun, fresh, Taquería style food. Childhood friends, Peter Cimino and Chris Dorsaneo, conceptualized Lloyd when they realized Western New York lacked palatable, affordable street food options. The timing was right when Dorsaneo moved back to Buffalo after working around the country in high end restaurants and resorts, and Cimino sought an entrepreneurial concept to take Buffalo by storm. Tomatillo pork tacos, braised beef burritos and tricked out nachos are the menu staples that keep hungry Buffalonians coming back for more. Lloyd has won many esteemed awards, including Artvoice's "Best Street Food" and Buffalo Spree's "Best Tacos in Western New York."

Grisanti to Receive Endorsement of Other Horrible Transactional Fusion Party
At 1:30 pm today, a press conference will be held in Buffalo to announce that the Independence Party, which is neither independent nor really any sort of political party with any firm ideology or platform aside from the personal ambitions of its leadership, will endorse Mark Grisanti for re-election.
This comes quickly on the heels of the recent announcement that the Conservative Party, which is hardly conservative nor really any sort of political party with a firm and consistent set of policy positions except for a generalized abhorrence of gays, modern society, and taxes, will attempt to throw WNY under a massive bendy bus by endorsing reprehensible homophobic retread Chuck Swanick – star of the mid-last-decade county financial meltdown – in a deal cut with former Pedro Espada patronage hire Steve Pigeon. With Espada's indictment, Pigeon finds himself needing something more to do than just ally himself with Albany-based cults.
Also, Swanick received the endorsement of the reactionary homophobic bigots at the improperly named "National Organization for Marriage".
If you want to stop how pitifully transactional our local politics have become, and begin cleaning things up; if you want to promote good policy and less patronage-laden dealmaking, abolish electoral fusion in New York State.

Just Like Lincoln
On Wednesday night, the Erie County Republican Party will be giving its "Lincoln Leadership Award" to former Attorney General and rumored Brian Higgins challenger Dennis Vacco.
What exactly is it about Vacco that made the GOP associate him with – of all people – Abraham Lincoln? When you think of Lincoln, you think of leading the nation through an existential constitutional crisis, a civil war, emancipation, abolition of Southern feudal estates, and other pretty pivotal events that plotted the course of the United States into the modern world.
So what is it in Vacco's past that makes the GOP consider him in the same breath with Lincoln? Indulge me a poll:
What Makes Dennis Vacco Most Like Abraham Lincoln
$50,000 fine for casino lobbying allegations.
Representation of Haggerty.
Mass firings at AG office.
Drawing out the 1998 AG election uncomfortably long, using NYPD to conduct door-to-door investigations.
Columbo family scion claiming to have had a "hook" in Vacco's office.

The Morning Grumpy – 2/28/2012
All the news and views fit to consume during your morning grumpy.
1. Dan Herbeck published a profile of local attorney and political power player Adam Perry in the Sunday edition of The Buffalo News. Yesterday, Jim Heaney came around to add the meat to the skeleton that was Herbeck's article.
For example, Perry's official bio lists him as general legal counsel to Community Action Organization of Erie County, which historically has been a landing spot for many members of Grassroots, the political club closely aligned with the mayor. You might recall the COA's former president, a Grassroots stalwart and one-time Common Council member. His name is Brian Davis. He's been in the news a bit.
Hodgson Russ has given Brown's two campaign committees $12,100 since he first ran for the job. Perry, individually, has given another $6,925.
Perry has also anted up $9,347 for 10 candidates and committees aligned with Brown, starting with then State Sen. Antoine Thompson ($2,525) and North Common Council Member Joe Golombek ($2,000) when he ran against Assemblyman Sam Hoyt, Brown's arch-rival. Perry also donated $500 to Grassroots.
Heaney's article links out to nearly a dozen sources and paints a much broader picture of Perry's allegiances and duties. Thanks, Jim.
2.For several months, beltway pundits have repeatedly asked the same question, "Why won't republican voters embrace Mitt Romney?". I'll tell you why. He's an asshole. An uncompromising asshole. Not in the cool, "Oh that son-of-a-bitch got me again" kind of way, but the old fashioned, "Holy shit, that guy is a real fucking jerkoff" kind of way. In WNY parlance, he's Chris Collins.
Politics isn't business. Helping retired people or badly maimed veterans with their health care needs isn't "efficient." If you were a businessperson, you'd do anything to keep those veterans out of your hospital. It's not the job of a businessman to feel sad about the consequences of cutbacks for your marriage, your employees, your grandma, or your community. But it should be the president's job. The inherently destructive nature of a dynamic market economy means that lots of people are suffering on any given day thanks to forces beyond their control. Romney's strength is that he understands those forces better than anyone in the race, but his weakness is that he doesn't understand the suffering.
Mitt Romney was born on third base, thinking he hit a triple and has no idea to relate to people who deal with the rigors of American life. His lack of empathy shines through to a nation of people looking for a leader.
"If people think there's something wrong with being successful in America, then they'd better vote for the other guy, because I've been extraordinarily successful and I want to use that success and that know-how to help the American people."
He can't win.
3. The anti-intellectualism, it burns. College education is a plot to turn us all into pinko secularists and wanting kids to go to college makes one a "snob".
We have now reached the once unthinkable point in this presidential race where even higher education has come up for debate. At a time when our global competitors are churning out engineers and scientists at a faster and faster rate; at a time when the industries of the future require not only a college education, but more and more advanced degrees; and at a time when the economy is becoming more demanding of innovation than ever before, one of the leading candidates for the GOP nomination calls the president a "snob" for wanting "everybody in America to go to college." Really?
According to Santorum, you should probably homeschool them as well. Why expose them to critical thinking and different perspectives, right?
My soul similarly rolls over and groans whenever Santorum uses the phrase "home-schooling." I first heard about it in the dim days when the John Birch Society was a going thing. (Young folks, I don't blame you for not believing that this organization held that President Dwight Eisenhower was a "conscious, dedicated agent" of the Soviet Union.) Some benighted McCarthy-admiring parents decided to pluck their children from the clutches of "commies" teaching our kiddies their godless doctrine.
I feel sorry for the poor kids whose parents feel they're qualified to teach them at home. Of course, some parents are smarter than some teachers, but in the main I see home-schooling as misguided foolishness.
Teaching is an art and a profession requiring years of training. Where did the idea come from that anybody can do it?
To deny kids the adventure and socialization of going to school, thereby missing out on the activities, gossip, projects, dances, teams, friendships and social skills developed — to deny kids this is shortsighted and cruel. I think of the mournful home-school kid watching his friends board the school bus, laughing, gossiping and enjoying all that vital socialization we call schooldays.
Homeschooling is a particularly bizarre strain of the evangelical and libertarian communities and ultimately denies your children many of the experiences that help craft them into well-adjusted adult members of society. You'd deny your child exposure to differing viewpoints, cultures, and curricula due to your own ideological xenophobia? Supplement their education with your own, but don't lock them away from life, that's just odd. Join us in the pool of normal society, the water is fine.
4. How does government create jobs? It goes a little something like this.
Envia Systems, a battery maker based in California, announced on Monday what it called a "major breakthrough" in lithium-ion cell technology that would result in a significant increase in the energy density — and a sharp reduction in the cost — of lithium-ion battery packs. Envia is financed by the Energy Department and G.M. Ventures, the venture-capital arm of General Motors, as well as other investors.
Envia, which was founded in 2007 and has licensed some technology from Argonne National Laboratory, was awarded $4 million in late 2009 by the Energy Department's ARPA-E program, which finances advanced energy research. As a founding principle, the program was designed "to develop lithium-ion batteries with the highest energy density in the world."
With a little bit of seed money from the government, this company has created a technology that can be developed and sold to global manufacturers. They'll seek further funding to scale production to meet demand and their suppliers and vendors will benefit as well. Also, because General Motors is involved, it gives them an advantage over foreign competition. Hooray, America.
5. Ezra Klein asks why we allow the political parties to determine what's "left" and what's "right". And what it means for our nation.
Perhaps my biggest frustration with the U.S. news media (and yes, I am a card-carrying member) is that we permit the two parties to decide what is "left" and what is "right." The way it works, roughly, is that anything Democrats support becomes "left," and everything Republicans support becomes "right." But that makes "left" and "right" descriptions of where the two parties stand at any given moment rather than descriptions of the philosophies, ideologies or ideas that animate, or should animate, political debates.
He goes on to point out a few examples.
Supporting a temporary, deficit-financed payroll-tax cut as a stimulus measure in 2009, as Republican Sen. John McCain and every one of his colleagues did, put you on the right. Supporting a temporary, deficit-financed payroll tax-cut in late 2011 put you on the left. Supporting it in early 2012 could have put you on either side.
Supporting an individual mandate as a way to solve the health-care system's free-rider problem between 1991 and 2007 put you on the right. Doing so after 2010 put you on the left.
The problem is that most Americans are prone to the changing winds of politics and are left without a compass. This is where the press is supposed to come in and where the current "he said/she said" methodology of "fair and balanced" reporting kills us. As Jim Heaney wrote last week,
I always thought my job as a reporter was to figure it out – after all, I was the one with the time, training and resources – and provide readers "the best obtainable version of the truth." This required me to do my homework, get things right and write with clarity – "telling it like it is," in the words of Howard Cosell.
This is why I'm so glad Heaney is back on the job. More journalists should think like this, else we risk trafficking in stenography.

Potential Failbug Infestation
Chuck Swanick left office about 8 years ago, and when he did, everyone was sick of his careerist political transactionalism.
And his sweaters.
Endorsing Chuck Swanick is like endorsing genital warts. No one likes it, and it's really dirty.
So, it only takes about 8 years to attempt a political comeback, complete with support from one of the most detestable, transactional, valueless minor fusion party bosses – all because Republican Mark Grisanti had the audacity to vote his conscience on same-sex marriage. Why Swanick – aside from the fact that he's a political rehash who evokes vivid memories of only the most recent financial county meltdown?
"Chuck Swanick is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-Second Amendment and a fiscal conservative," said Erie County Conservative Chairman Ralph C. Lorigo.
Peas in a pod of closed-minded hatred, sweatervests, pompadours, and failure.

A LIVE-in warden at the block of flats where Harold Shipman was suspected of killing seven residents says she finds it "difficult to believe" that he was responsible.
Jennifer Unsworth, who has been the resident warden at Chartist House, Mount Street, Hyde, for 30 years was called to give evidence about the deaths at the Shipman Inquiry.
Mrs Unsworth, who had babysat Shipman's children on New Year's Eve when he had first moved to the area, said everybody had thought Shipman was wonderful.
But when asked if she still had any loyalty to Shipman, she added: "Not now I don't".

Les fêtes maritimes en France couvrent l'ensemble des manifestations festives organisées en France autour du patrimoine maritime et fluvial, spécialement à l'occasion de rassemblements de bateaux, tant sur le littoral que sur le cours de fleuves.

Ces fêtes maritimes ont pris une singulière ampleur depuis les années 1980.

Histoire

De tout temps, des manifestations festives ont eu lieu sur le littoral français. Elles avaient surtout un caractère propitiatoire visant à protéger les marins face à un environnement hostile (fête des Islandais, bénédiction des bateaux…). Mais elles renforçaient aussi les liens sociaux et pouvaient être parfois l'occasion de compétitions, lors de régates de bateaux de travail (régates de bisquines par exemple).

Une autre forme immémoriale de fêtes maritimes était les parades navales organisées par les escadres de guerre afin de renforcer leur prestige auprès des habitants du littoral. Il arrivait parfois que des bateaux de la Marine nationale apportent leur concours à des manifestations traditionnelles locales.

Avec les débuts du tourisme sur le littoral français, à la fin du , les municipalités et syndicats d'initiative commencèrent à organiser dans les stations du littoral des fêtes associant la population maritime. À l'exemple du festival des Filets bleus de Concarneau, elles pouvaient avoir été créées au départ pour venir en aide à des pêcheurs en difficulté avant de devenir des manifestations folkloriques.

Dans les années 1950 à 1970 du , le monde maritime subit de fortes mutations avec la disparition progressive d'un patrimoine et d'un savoir-faire maritimes traditionnels.

Alors que ce processus était largement entamé, la prise de conscience de ces pertes va entrainer par contrecoup la création de nouvelles formes de fêtes maritimes.

En effet des petits groupes de passionnés, en Bretagne particulièrement, vont s'efforcer de restaurer les bateaux traditionnels subsistants et de recueillir la mémoire concernant les pratiques maritimes de leurs terroirs.

Ils seront à l'initiative de petits rassemblements de bateaux en 1982 et 1984 à Pors Beac'h (Finistère), dans le fond de la rade de Brest qui connaitront un succès inattendu.

Les fêtes monteront en puissance avec les rassemblements de Douarnenez (Finistère) en 1986 et 1988.

Enfin des bateaux  venus du monde entier se retrouveront à Brest (Finistère) en 1992 pour une semaine de fête avant le transfert de la flotte à Douarnenez. Un million de visiteurs montreront l'ampleur atteinte par la manifestation.

Le succès de l'édition de 1992 des fêtes maritimes de Brest devait beaucoup au lancement par la revue « Chasse-Marée » du concours « Bateaux des côtes de France » qui permit la construction, dans de nombreux ports de France, de répliques de bateaux traditionnels, dont La Recouvrance, qui se retrouvèrent à Brest pour la fête.

De son côté Rouen (Seine-Maritime), qui avait déjà créé les Voiles de la liberté en 1989, lança ses Armadas à partir de 1994.

Aux rassemblements de bateaux s'ajoutèrent des fêtes maritimes thématiques comme le festival du chant de marin de Paimpol (Côtes-d'Armor) qui a fêté ses vingt ans en 2009.

Fêtes traditionnelles

Les nouvelles formes de fêtes maritimes, à partir des années 1980, n'ont pas fait disparaitre les fêtes nautiques antérieures telles que la fête de la morue de Bègles (Gironde), la fête du thon de Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Pyrénées-Atlantique)…

On constate une différence entre le Ponant et le Levant : en Bretagne, il ne reste quasiment plus de fêtes maritimes créées avant 1960. Par contre, en Méditerranée  les nouvelles formes de fêtes maritimes sont peu nombreuses mais les types traditionnels des rituels maritimes ont été bien préservés. Par exemple, dans beaucoup de petits ports, des « fêtes de la Saint-Pierre » ont été conservées ou recréées.

De plus, en Méditerranée, des rencontres perdurent, comme les joutes nautiques du Languedoc et de la Provence ou, encore, le combat naval fleuri de Villefranche-sur-Mer (Alpes-Maritimes).

Rassemblements maritimes

Les grands rassemblements maritimes français se situent surtout sur le littoral de la Manche et de l'Atlantique.

On peut citer, par date de création, les Fêtes maritimes de Douarnenez (1986), les Armadas de Rouen (1989), les Fêtes maritimes de Brest (1992), " Bordeaux fête le fleuve " (1999), la Semaine du Golfe du Morbihan (2001), la Fête de la mer de Boulogne-sur-Mer (2003), etc.

Sur la mer Méditerranée, " Escale à Sète", programmé tous les deux ans à Sète depuis 2010, est désormais la principale manifestation sur cette façade.

Fêtes thématiques

Parmi les fêtes maritimes proposées sur des thèmes particuliers, on peut citer :

 Les fêtes présentant un aspect de la culture maritime. La musique des gens de mer est ainsi au centre du festival du chant de marin de Paimpol.

 Les fêtes autour d'un type particulier de bateau comme la fête des Voiles Rouges autour du sinagot à Séné (Morbihan), la Fête des Voiles latines à Sanary-sur-Mer (Var), etc.

 Les fêtes concernant un type de pêche ou d'activité maritime. Par exemple, la fête du Goémon d'Esquibien (Finistère), la fête de la Sardine de Locquémeau (Côtes d'Armor), la fête du hareng de Fécamp (Seine-Maritime), ...

Manifestations fluviales ou lacustres

Les rassemblements de bateaux traditionnels ne se trouvent pas uniquement sur le rivage maritime.

Depuis quelques années ils concernent aussi des fleuves, comme le Festival de Loire d'Orléans qui connait un vif succès, ou de plus petites rencontres sur des lacs comme les Voiles d'en-haut sur le lac de Serre-Ponçon.

The purpose of the Pen Pal Project is to maintain constant communication with the Boyo students even after leaving Taiwan. This can be a way to help them practice reading in English, expand their worldview, and show them how their knowledge of English can be applied in an international context. This "continual stream" of conversations will help them expand their horizons, using the skills they learn within the programs in a daily context.
If you would like to send a letter, please message info@stepstudent.org for more information on how to get involved with the project. Details will be provided as to where mail will be sent as well as how letters should be addressed. Please note that all letters will be read in order to ensure the safety of the children that we are doing the program for.


Achilles restaurant is a remarkably welcoming place, and the main eatery at Astir Odysseus Resort & Spa. it is a refreshing space, with bright interiors, where white tablecloths set up the pristine backdrop for colorful Greek and Mediterranean dishes, which draw rich flavors from the abundance of local produce.
Some of the most memorable flavors are the lightest, like stitches of fresh herbs in a seasonal salad, or grape berries with a bite of cheese, and you can enjoy them from as early as 5 am, when, on request, you can drop in for an early Continental breakfast. But don't worry if you are not an early-bird. Breakfast is served till 11:30 am, so you can always create your own plate of goodies from the delightful selection of crunchy fresh vegetables, smooth local cheeses, bright red tomatoes, silky-smooth yogurt, and warm treats that make the perfect start for the day.
Greek cuisine is the dominant inspiration for Achilles's decadent mains at lunch – the menu changes to ensure diversity, but you can count on the bounty of the seas to inspire some of the most popular dishes. The food is rich and light at the same time, a paradox, if you will. Dining on Kos doesn't get better than Achilles – tradition is paramount, but the creative chefs bring a touch of modernity to classic dishes, to enhance your experience with every mouthful.
Finally, evenings are meant for dressy dinners, and this elegant restaurant is perfect for romantic dining.
The setting is peaceful and blissful. Dining on the terrace lets you take in the breeze, and glimmering lights and shimmering candles set the perfect atmosphere for what we like to call a meal in paradise. Thursday evenings are themed all Greek, and, for a touch of diversity, every Sunday Achilles alternates between Mexican, Mediterranean, and Asian-themed menus.

Q: Linking two buttons In a fragment I'm having an issue linking two buttons from a fragment to a class. I have one working but any attempt to get the second linking to a different class is failing. Here is the code I have for the one Button. Thanks in advance!
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.account, container, false);

    Button button = (Button)view.findViewById(R.id.btGlobex);
    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v){
            switch(v.getId()){

                case R.id.btGlobex:
                    Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), GlobexActivity.class);
                    startActivity(intent);//Edited here
                    break;
            }
        }
    });

    return view;
}

UPDATE:
I've gotten some great responses but my app crashes when I click on the account Fragment and I can't figure out as to why. The updated Code is as follows:
public class AccountFragment extends Fragment implements View.OnClickListener{

    public AccountFragment() {

    }

    public static AccountFragment newInstance() {
        AccountFragment fragment = new AccountFragment();
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.account, container, false);

        Button btGlobex = (Button)getView().findViewById(R.id.btGlobex);
        btGlobex.setOnClickListener(onClickListener);
        Button btUmbrella = (Button)getView().findViewById(R.id.btUmbrella);
        btUmbrella.setOnClickListener(onClickListener);
        return view;
    }

    private View.OnClickListener onClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v){
            switch(v.getId()){

                    startActivity(intent1);//Edited here
                    break;
                case R.id.btUmbrella:
                    Intent intent2 = new Intent(getActivity(), UmbrellaActivity.class);

Thanks again for any help!

A: I think the problem is that when you do
Button button = (Button)view.findViewById(R.id.btGlobex);

This button is always going to be linked to R.id.btGlobex, so your v.getId() switch case is always going to get the id of R.id.btGlobex
If you want your second button to start the intent with a different class, you need to either do what you did for your first button by findViewById on your second button and add an onClickListener to it that start your second class, or implement the onClickListener interface like this I think:
public class YourFragment extends Fragment implements View.OnClickListener {

And do this for your buttons in your onCreateView:
Button button = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(this);

Button button2 = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.button2);
button2.setOnClickListener(this);

Then put your switch cases outside the onCreateView as its own method:
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    // Switch cases here
}

See this answer for more info.

Maybe you should set your onClickListener like this?
public class YourFragment extends Fragment implements View.OnClickListener {
    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.account, container, false);

        Button btGlobex = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btGlobex);
        btGlobex.setOnClickListener(this);

        Button btUmbrella = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btUmbrella);
        btUmbrella.setOnClickListener(this);

        return view;
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        switch (v.getId()) {
            case R.id.btGlobex:
                Intent intent1 = new Intent(getActivity(), GlobexActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent1);
                break;
            case R.id.btUmbrella:
                Intent intent2 = new Intent(getActivity(), UmbrellaActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent2);
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }

A: After seeing the updated code, the problem is clear. In the first case you are creating a new anonymous OnClickListener and assigning it to just your button.
When you add a second button you are assigning "this" to be the new listener, however if your class does not implement OnClickListener and provide an onClick method, then this won't work.
You can create a listener to use, make it a class level variable so you can use it throughout the class. This means you need to define it outside your onCreateView method, as a private member.
private OnClickListener onClickListener = new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v){
        switch(v.getId()){

            case R.id.btGlobex:
                Intent intent1 = new Intent(getActivity(), GlobexActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent1);//Edited here
                break;
            case R.id.btUmbrella:
                Intent intent2 = new Intent(getActivity(), UmbrellaActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent2);//Edited here
                break;
        }
    }
}

Now your class provides an implementation of the OnClickListener interface, and you can now pass this listener to your buttons.
Button btGlobex = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btGlobex);
btGlobex.setOnClickListener(onClickListener);
Button btUmbrella = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btUmbrella);
btUmbrella.setOnClickListener(onClickListener);
return view;

In your second example, you are passing "this" to the buttons, which isn't working how you are expecting. You are creating an anonymous OnClickListener which is never being used, when you are using the "this" keyword, it's trying to pass in the entire class. Unless your class implements the OnClickListener interface, and provides an implementation of the onClick method, that will not work.


That'll be the topic of discussion Feb. 27, when Tom Ohanian, IBM Watson Media global sales exec and repeat Emmy winner, takes the stage at the Smart Hollywood Summit to discuss how AI and machine learning are influencing content creation, and what M&E firms need to know in order to keep up with the trends.
His presentation — "Redefining Cre-AI-tivity: How AI and ML are Influencing Content Creation" — will challenge current beliefs that creativity is solely a human trait, and allow attendees to imagine a world where creative decision-making can be authentically executed by machines.
"Creativity, especially within the context of the media and entertainment industry, has historically been driven by the human mind," Ohanian said. "This is going to be an exciting session for anyone interested in exploring how we can capture human imagination and apply it to AI systems.
The Smart Hollywood Summit is a day-long conference that will tackle the transformative effect AI, blockchain, metadata, OTT and automated processes are having on the way Hollywood greenlights, produces and distributes its content, and will be held at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.

Independent Task Force Publishes Resources to Support Schools and Districts with Implementing CDC Guidance and Getting Students Back to In-Person Learning
Task force was convened by COVID Collaborative, Harvard's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, Brown School of Public Health, and New America to bring together diverse players across health and education
Resources on COVID Collaborative
APRIL 28, 2021, Washington, D.C. | An independent task force published resources today to support schools and districts in implementing CDC guidance and getting students and staff safely back for in-person learning. The resources, which come as schools across the country are reopening or preparing for reopening in the fall, are designed to help integrate effective infection prevention and control measures in schools, which can keep transmission of COVID-19 near zero, even with community spread.
The task force was convened by the COVID Collaborative, Harvard's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, Brown School of Public Health, and New America, and brings together representatives from across health and education, from associations representing teachers, principals and superintendents, to public health institutions and professional associations. The initiative was launched shortly after President Biden set a target to reopen a majority of schools by May 1 with the goal of supporting schools as they reopened in-person learning.
The package of resources includes a "Roadmap to Healthy Schools," a practical guide to school-based infection control, produced by members of the task force; a consensus statement on the latest CDC guidance, issued by leading scientists convened by the task force's organizers; and a use of funds advisory memo for how states might allocate resources toward infection prevention and control, developed by the task force's organizers.
"We recognize that many places are already deep in the work of integrating the CDC's guidance on infection prevention and control measures into how schools operate. We also know that there are some schools at the start of this process," said Danielle Allen, Task Force Chair and James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard. "Our aim was to produce tools that can meet communities where they are and provide recommendations on who should take on the various elements of infection control at the state, local, and school level, and how it can be done."
The Roadmap includes useful case studies of promising practices from schools and districts that have been successful with resuming in-person instruction, as well as tools and recommendations that can be used to replicate some of those practices.
In the consensus statement, scientists confirm that a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, a robust body of evidence has emerged that settles many questions about how to best protect students and staff inside schools. This includes evidence that addresses the change in recommended classroom distancing in the CDC guidance.
The use of funds memo outlines an approach to make strategic use of the authorized funds to implement robust IPC programs in K-12 systems, outlining four key areas of one-time and recurring investments: 1) creation of state guidance; 2) facilities; 3) infection prevention and control training and professional development; and 4) school health workforce and public health workforce assigned to support schools.
"Families and educators are eager to get students back in their schools, and robust infection prevention and control programs are key to ensuring safe in-person learning environments for students and staff," said Ronn Nozoe, CEO of the National Association of Secondary School Principals. "Access to this guidance from the task force helps increase school leader confidence that our school buildings can reopen safely."

Current: Elevate State
The Elevate State Plan is a forward-thinking vision for the State Street corridor in Chicago's Loop community. Elevate State is a collaboration between Chicago Loop Alliance (CLA), Special Service Area #1-2015, Chicago Loop Alliance Foundation, a diverse consultant team, stakeholders, and the community (you!).
Sign up here for updates
The Plan will respond to the evolving community by forging a roadmap for the future that focuses on key public realm elements such as:
"As we showed with our Economic Profile last year, everything about the Loop is changing rapidly—residential demographics, commercial real estate, mobility, etc.," said Chicago Loop Alliance Director of Planning Kalindi Parikh. "Chicago Loop Alliance is interested in being a leader in envisioning a new version of State Street. We see this street as a connector for all of Chicago's neighborhoods. Our corridor plan will guide us in keeping the street competitive in a changing economic landscape, and in keeping it a 'great street' for all Chicagoans."
Elevate State will be the Chicago Loop Alliance's first plan for State Street since 1987, when the organization called for the street to be reopened to automobile traffic after a stint as a bus and pedestrian mall.
We need your help! The planning process for Elevate State will prioritize community engagement as a key part of the process. To make Elevate State successful, we need your input! Learn how to get involved below. Please note the community workshops are currently postponed until further notice.

The boy who was to be Saint Colman was born in the northern kingdom of Dalriada, which held both Northern Ireland and Scotland in its power at the start of the sixth century. This was the time of the dawn of Christianity in Ireland, and it was a time when great terrors and monsters from primordial epochs still swam in the deep lakes and lazy rivers of Ireland!
Ancient wurrums, horn-hided serpents, slimy reptiles and fierce dragons of all sorts made bathing or even fetching water a hazardous business in many places, and you certainly wouldn't want to go for a swim!
After his studies at the Abbey of Nendrum on the pleasant shores of Strangford Lough, Colman who was also called Mocholmoc or Mocholmog, which is important to know since there are about six score Irish saints called Colman, moved to Dromore in the Northlands.
It was by the deep and dark slow-flowing waters of the river Lagan that Saint Colman liked to walk and pray, meditating on the mysteries he had learned at the Abbey – and some say when his mind wandered far, so did his feet, even over the waters of the river while staying dry!
But one day his peace was interrupted, for what happened but a young maiden came down to the river to wash her clothes, and so long was her dress and so muddy the river bank that she had to go out upon some stepping stones to do the job properly.
Next thing you know, from the hidden deeps of the river where great dark eyes had been watching, a terrible serpent reared up and surged forth in a powerful spring, swallowing her alive!
Knowing she was done for, the girl somehow kept her head and cried out in a fearful voice
"Oh holy Colman, save me!"
And some of her friends who were standing on the bank also let out cries and shouts of panic, for it was a dreadful thing to see a person swallowed whole.
Awakening from his meditations the Saint fell to his knees and prayed to Heaven for her release, and sure enough, repulsed by the sanctity of Saint Colman and the purity of Christian prayer, the unholy beast spat out the girl at the Saint's command, before vanishing forever more into the secret currents of the abyss.
The girl was unharmed, and to this day you can find the footprints of the Saint on the bank of the river, called St Colman's road, marked on the map below.


Albemarle County was named for William Anne Keppel, second earl of Albemarle and governor of the Virginia colony from 1737 to 1754. It was formed from Goochland County in 1744, and part of Louisa County and certain islands in the Fluvanna River, now called the James, were added later. Its area is 740 square miles, and the county seat is Charlottesville.
Additional Albemarle County court records can be found on microfilm and in the Chancery Records Index at the Library of Virginia. Consult "A Guide to Virginia County and City Records on Microfilm" and The Chancery Records Index, both on the Library of Virginia web site.
