Греко-турецкие отношения на протяжении истории сопровождаются взаимной враждой и непродолжительными периодами примирения начиная с времени, когда Греция получила независимость в 1821 году от Османской империи. С тех пор две страны столкнулись друг с другом в четырёх крупных войнах: в греко-турецкой войне 1897 года, Первой Балканской войне (1912—1913 года), Первой мировой войне и греко-турецкой войне 1919—1922 годов. Протяжённость государственной границы между странами составляет 192 км.

Период Османской империи
Греческое государство обрело свою независимость от Османской империи в ходе национально-освободительной войны 1821—1829 годов. Её границы были признаны в 1832 году: территория в пределах материковой Греции от города Арта до Волоса, а также остров Эвбея, Кикладские острова в Эгейском море. Остальная территория, на которой жили греки, включая острова Крит, Кипр, другие острова Эгейского моря, области Эпир, Фессалия, Македония и Фракия оставались под властью Турции. Кроме того, около 1 миллиона греков жили на территории, которая сейчас относится к Турции — Эгейский регион вокруг Измира и область Понта на берегу Чёрного моря.

Греческие политики XIX века стремились включить все территории, на которых исторически проживали греки, в греческое государство, созданное по образцу Византийской империи; столицей государства они видели Стамбул, или на греческий манер — Константинополь. Эта концепция известна как Великая идея. Турки закономерно чрезвычайно враждебно относились к подобным греческим планам. Хотя великие державы рассматривали Османскую империю как «больного человека Европы», они не могли дать согласие и решить однозначно вопрос раздела её земель. Вокруг этого вопроса велись интриги, которые постепенно сокращали владения империи, но одновременно сдерживали её окончательный крах. Такая политика способствовала ещё большему обострению отношений между Грецией и Османской империей.

На протяжении Крымской войны (1854—1856 годы) Великобритания и Франция боролись в союзе с Османской империей против Российской империи. Греция поддержала партизанские действия на османской территории (см. Греция в годы Крымской войны). В период русско-турецкой войны 1877—1878 годов греки были готовы присоединиться к войне с целью территориальных приобретений, но под давлением западных держав не могли эффективно участвовать в конфликте. Однако по решению Берлинского конгресса в 1881 году к территории Греции присоединилась Фессалия и часть Эпира.

В 1897 году восстание на Крите привело к началу греко-турецкой войны. Греческая армия была все ещё не подготовлена и не могла выбить османские войска из их укреплений вдоль северной границы, и после османских контратак война завершилась унизительным поражением для Греции, обернулась территориальными потерями, хотя и незначительными, а Крит провозгласил независимость под протекторатом Великих держав.

После завершения Младотурецкой революции и захвата младотурками власти в Османской империи в 1908 году администрация победителей взяла курс на укрепление государства. Как результат, положение христианских меньшинств в империи ещё более ухудшилось. Балканские войны стали прямым следствием растущего напряжения в регионе. После их завершения Греция, которая воевала в союзе с Болгарией и Сербией, вернула себе Крит, ряд островов, области Фессалия, Эпир и Македония с городом Салоники.

Первая мировая и вторая греко-турецкая войны

Греция вступила в Первую мировую войну в 1917 году. Греция хотела вернуть себе Константинополь (ныне Стамбул) и Смирну (ныне Измир) при политической поддержке Великобритании и Франции, которые также обещали Греции вернуть Кипр. Хотя на протяжении войны было мало прямых боевых действий между греками и турками, в 1918 году начался распад Османской империи. В 1920 году, по итогам Севрского мирного договора, Греция получила Восточную Фракию и территорию около 17,000 км ² в Западной Анатолии вокруг Смирны. Это соглашение было подписано Османским правительством, но так и не вступило в силу, так как оно не было ратифицировано парламентом.

15 мая 1919 года Греция по мандату Антанты заняла Смирну, а Мустафа Кемаль-паша (позднее Ататюрк), который стал лидером турецкой оппозиции Севрскому договору, высадился в Самсуне 19 мая 1919 года. Этот день считается началом турецкой войны за независимость, первая цель которой заключалась в создании организованного национального движения против оккупационных сил «великих держав» — Великобритании, Франции, а также Италии и Греции. Мустафа Кемаль создал независимое правительство в Анкаре и призвал патриотов к борьбе, чтобы не допустить вступления в силу Севрского договора.

Турецкая армия заняла Измир 9 сентября 1922 года, таким образом одержав победу в войне. Греческое население Смирны подверглось массовой резне (Резня в Смирне). Греческая армия и администрация оставила Анатолию. Конец войне положило Муданийское перемирие от 11 октября 1922 года. На смену Севрскому договору пришел Лозаннский мирный договор 1923, по которому устанавливались новые границы Турции и был осуществлён насильственный греко-турецкий обмен населением. В результате последнего около полумиллиона греков в новой Турции автоматически стали беженцами, равно как полумиллиона мусульман должны были покинуть Грецию и перебраться в Турцию. Обмен не касался только населения Стамбула и островов Имброс и Тенедос.

Из-за неудачного исхода войны и значительных людских потерь, в греческой историографии события после Первой мировой войны именуются Малоазийской катастрофой. Обе армии — и турецкая в отношении православных греков, и греческая в отношении турок-мусульман — совершали военные преступления. Вместе с тем Греция обвиняет Турцию в целенаправленных действиях по уничтожению греков — геноциде понтийских греков, который осуществлялся младотурками на протяжении 1914 — 1923 годов против греков исторического Понта. Число жертв геноцида по разным оценкам составляет от 350 000 до 1 700 000 человек.

Межвоенный период
Послевоенные лидеры государств Мустафа Кемаль и Элефтериос Венизелос, после нескольких лет переговоров, установили наконец в 1930 году дипломатические отношения между Грецией и Турцией. Венизелос посетил с официальным визитом Стамбул и Анкару. Греция отказалась от всех своих претензий на территории, которые теперь входили в состав Турции. За этим последовало подписание Балканского пакта в 1934 году, по которому в союз вступали Греция, Турция, Королевство Югославия и Румыния. Соглашение предусматривало оказание взаимной помощи и сотрудничество. Обе страны признали, что они желают мира, в связи с этим участились двусторонние встречи. Венизелос и Ататюрк даже были номинированы на получение Нобелевской премии мира.

В 1941 году Турция стала первой страной, которая направила гуманитарную помощь Греции после оккупации Афин странами Оси. Президент Турции Исмет Инёню подписал решение об оказании помощи народу, против которого он боролся девятнадцать лет назад. Продукты собирала организация Турецкого Красного Полумесяца, и они отправлялись из порта Стамбула в Грецию.

В то же время Турция подписала договор о дружбе и сотрудничестве с нацистской Германией в июне 1941 года. В 1942 Турция ввела специальный налог на имущество, которым обложила всех не-турок — греков, армян, евреев — и который привёл и без того немногочисленные общины этнических греков в Турции к экономическому коллапсу.

С началом «холодной войны» наметился курс на сближение двух стран с 1953 года, когда Греция, Турция и Югославия подписали новый  о взаимной обороне против Советского Союза.

Стамбульский погром

Несмотря на сближение обеих стран, и Греция, и Турция пытались уменьшить взаимное экономическое влияние. Турецкие власти в частности вели целенаправленную политику по сокращению экономического присутствия греков в Турции. В сентябре 1955 года состоялся так называемый стамбульский погром, направленный против греческого меньшинства в Стамбуле. Конфликт был вызван искусственно распространяемыми слухами, что якобы дом в Салониках, в котором жил Мустафа Кемаль Ататюрк, разрушен греческими террористами.

Разбойные нападения на греков длились 9 часов. В результате 13 из 16 греков были убиты в результате насилия — линчевания или поджога. Среди жертв были два священника. Многочисленные греки были серьёзно ранены, десятки греческих девушек изнасилованы. Более тысячи греческих домов, школ, церквей, гостиниц сожжены. Оценки ущерба разнятся в различных источниках. По данным турецкого правительства, ущерб составил около 69 500 000 турецких лир, согласно британским источникам, около 100 млн фунтов стерлингов. Стамбульский погром стал причиной массовой иммиграции этнических греков, которые были исключены из обмена населением 1923 года. Собственно он привел к исчезновению греческого меньшинства в Турции. По данным переписи 1924 года в Турции проживало около 200 000 греков, по состоянию на 2008 год турецких граждан греческого происхождения насчитывается от 3 до 4 тысяч человек, в то время как, по данным Human Rights Watch, на 2005 год их было не более 2, 5 тысяч.

Кипрский кризис и турецкое вторжение

Основным раздражителем греко-турецких отношений после 1950-х годов стал Кипр. К тому времени остров находился под протекторатом Великобритании, греческое население острова насчитывало 82 % от общей численности населения. Также большая часть греков-киприотов желала воссоединения с Грецией. По этому поводу уже в 1930-х годах проводились акции гражданского неповиновения, однако правительство Греции, находясь в зависимости от Великобритании, ни разу не поддержало соотечественников.

Кипрский вопрос возник снова, когда греки-киприоты во главе с архиепископом Макариосом III заключили союз с Грецией, а народно-освободительное движение ЭОКА поставило своей целью освобождение от британского колониального господства и курс на союз с Грецией. Наконец премьер-министр Греции Александрос Папагос вынес Кипрский вопрос на рассмотрение ООН. Между тем в 1955 состоялся стамбульский погром, в ответ на который Греция прекратила дипломатические отношения с Турцией, и таким образом распался союз, установленный Балканским пактом 1953 года.

В 1960 году вынесено компромиссное решение по Кипру: остров был провозглашен независимым. Два небольших подразделения греческой и турецкой армий высадились на острове, в качестве гарантов. Премьер-министр Греции Константинос Караманлис был главным идеологом плана, приведшего к немедленному улучшению отношений с Турцией, особенно после того, как Аднан Мендерес был отстранен от власти в Турции.

На протяжении 1963—1964 года на острове возникали новые беспорядки. 30 декабря 1963 года архиепископ Макариос III предложил 13 конституционных поправок, которые позволили бы нормальное функционирование Кипра. Однако Турция заняла бескомпромиссную позицию против сближения Кипра и Греции и фактически сделала войну неизбежной. В августе 1964 года турецкие самолеты бомбили греческие отряды на подступах к селу Эренкой, оккупированному на Кипре турками. Вследствие конфликта греческое меньшинство в Турции претерпело новый кризис, многие греки бежали из страны, звучали даже угрозы выгнать Вселенского патриарха из Константинополя. В конце концов вмешательство ООН привело к другому компромиссному решению.

Опасность Кипрского конфликта была несколько ослаблена либеральным греческим правительством Георгиоса Папандреу, но в апреле 1967 года в Греции произошел военный государственный переворот, к власти пришла хунта «черных полковников». Внешняя политика хунты была неуклюжей, периодически возникали новые конфликты с Турцией. Одновременно Турция справедливо подозревала, что греческий режим планировал переворот на Кипре для объединения государства с Грецией.

15 июля 1974 года на Кипре произошел государственный переворот при поддержке греческой военной хунты. Президент Макариос был отстранён от власти и был вынужден бежать в Лондон, к власти пришла националистическая группа ЭОКА, выступавшая за союз с Грецией. Президентом назначен Никос Сампсон, бывший член ЭОКА.

В таких условиях Турция вторглась на остров 20 июля 1974 года, пользуясь положениями Цюрихско-Лондонских соглашений, якобы для восстановления предыдущего законного режима в республике, который существовал до переворота. Высадка турецких войск состоялась в городе Кирения. Это вторжение превратилось в постоянную оккупацию северной части острова, а именно 37 % от общей его площади. Греки-киприоты были изгнаны.

Война между Грецией и Турцией вновь стала непреходящей, однако очередной переворот Сампсона потерпел неудачу, а архиепископ Макариос III вернулся в страну и занял президентский пост. Военная хунта чёрных полковников после неудачи на Кипре оказалась беспомощной, и 24 июля страна вернулась к демократии (Метаполитефси). Однако непоправимый вред греко-турецким отношениям был нанесён, а Турецкая Республика Северного Кипра по сей день остается признанной только Турцией, мировое сообщество считает эту территорию оккупированной Турцией.

Эгейский спор

Дважды — в 1987 году и в начале 1996 года — спор вокруг вопросов относительно суверенитета и сопряжённых с ним прав в акватории Эгейского моря и воздушного пространства над ним приводил к кризисным ситуациям, близким к началу военных действий между двумя государствами.

С 1999 года
Попытки сближения, получившие название Давосского процесса, были осуществлены ещё в 1988 году премьер-министрами А. Папандреу и Т. Озалом. Толчком к значительному потеплению отношений явилась т. н. дипломатия землетрясений во второй половине 1999 года, когда обе страны (прежде всего Измит в Турции и вскоре после того Афины в Греции) сильно пострадали вследствие сильных землетрясений (измитское и афинское землетрясения): спонтанная волна обоюдного сочувствия способствовала улучшению отношений между государствами, что удивило многих иностранных наблюдателей.

Ежегодный экспорт Греции в Турцию с 2001 года по 2011 год увеличился почти в 10 раз: с 266 млн долларов до 2569 млн долларов.

Георгиос Папандреу, министр иностранных дел (с 2009 года), а затем и премьер-министр Греции до ноября 2011 г., достиг значительного прогресса в улучшении отношений, в результате переговоров с министром иностранных дел Турции Исмаилом Джемом, а затем премьер-министром Турции Реджепом Эрдоганом, в частности вследствие политики правительства Греции по поддержке европейской перспективы Турции. Тем не менее, опросы, проведённые в 2005 году, показали, что только 25 % греков считали, Турция должна войти в Европейский Союз.

В 2010 году премьер-министр Турции Реджеп Эрдоган с несколькими министрами посетил с официальным визитом Афины. Проведённые переговоры, по мнению аналитиков, стали проявлением определенного потепления в отношениях между государствами, а глава МИД Турции Ахмет Давутоглу заявил, что турецкое правительство работает над созданием «атмосферы психологических перемен» в отношениях между двумя странами.

Между тем, по данным греческой полиции, в 2010 году значительно возросла доля турецких нелегальных иммигрантов, число их арестов в частности в приграничном номе Эврос выросло на 371,94 % по сравнению с 2009 годом. В октябре 2010 года Министерство гражданской защиты Греции обратилось с просьбой к ЕС направить пограничный патруль для охраны греко-турецкой границы от нелегальных мигрантов. 2 ноября 2010 года отряд из 175 специалистов Frontex разместился в городе Орестиас вблизи греко-турецкой границы.

В ноябре 2010 года Wikileaks опубликовал доклад посла США в Анкаре Джеймса Джеффри, который утверждает, что Турция планирует спровоцировать военный кризис, чтобы вторгнуться в Эврос. США подтвердили подготовку такой атаки в 2003 году, но против плана выступил турецкий генерал Доган.

Дальнейшим толчком к потеплению отношений стало назначение в июне 2012 года министром иностранных дел Д. Аврамопулоса, известного поборника греко-турецкой дружбы и хорошо знакомого с премьером Турции Р. Эрдоганом.

Кризис с мигрантами
см. также Европейский миграционный кризис

На протяжении последних лет (2021, 2022) наблюдается наплыв мигрантов из стран Африки и Азии в европейские страны. В том числе, в Грецию. Мигранты переправляются на приграничные греческие острова на надувных лодках и других плавсредствах при бездействии турецкой береговой службы. Греция не принимает мигрантов, а Турция отказывается принять их назад. Поступает информация что греческие морские правоохранительные органы выдавливает этих мигрантов в территориальные воды Турции. На обратном пути, турецкие власти вынуждены осуществлять спасательные операции и приём данных мигрантов.

I am a beginner to php , mysql. In line 11 ,It prints the value of variable $login_session. I want to retrieve all data related to username. $login_session variable print it value ,but I can't retrieve data related to username from mysql database. What is the reason for that???

A: In your code SQL sytanx is is the main problem.You can write a more safe query by using prepared statements.
$stmt = $con->prepare("SELECT * from user where username=?");
$stmt->bind_param("s", $login_session);
$stmt->execute();

Thomson Airways is the biggest charter airline in the world and is based in Luton in the United Kingdom. It is also the UK's third biggest carrier, with only British Airways and easyJet flying more passengers annually. It was founded in 1962 as Britannia Airways and started using the current name in 2008 after a merger between TUI's Thomsonfly and First Choice Airways.
Thomson Airways flights are operated out of the airline's bases in Newcastle, Bournemouth, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Birmingham, Dublin, Inverness, Liverpool, East Midlands, Aberdeen, Exeter, Manchester, London Luton, London Gatwick, London Stansted, Belfast, Edinburgh, Bristol, East Midlands, Cardiff and Doncaster Sheffield. It utilises a fleet of 60 aircraft to fly to nearly 100 destinations.
Thomson Airways tends to operate flights on behalf of tour companies, meaning that most of its flights are to popular tourist destinations. These include Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt, Port Louis in Mauritius, Marrakech in Morocco, Cancun in Mexico, Orlando in the U.S., Goa in India and Phuket in Thailand. Closer to home, routes also include Dubrovnik, Corfu, Venice, Alicante and London.
Passengers on a Thomson Airways flight can check in online and print their boarding cards up to 14 days before departure. At this time, passengers are also able to ask for assistance at the airport, select a seat for their flight or buy additional checked luggage allowance while checking in online. Once they've checked in online, passengers can drop off their luggage at the airline's counters, which open between 2 and 3 hours before a flight. At Manchester, Gatwick and Birmingham airports, passengers can even drop off their bags the day before they fly, reducing hassle and check-in times at the airport.
Passengers can bring 1 item of hand luggage weighing up to 5 kg on most Thomson Airways flights. On some flights, this is increased to 7 kg and if this is the case, it will be plainly indicated on a passenger's booking confirmation. Its dimensions however cannot be bigger than 55 x 40 x 20 cm, as it must be able to fit into the overhead storage or under a seat on the plane. Personal items such as laptop bags, camera bags or handbags, will not be accepted separately and must fit inside a passenger's hand luggage bag. Passengers must be able to place their carry-on bags into the overhead lockers without assistance.
If passengers have a Thomson Airways flight-only booking, they will not have a checked luggage allowance. If they wish, passengers can add a luggage allowance to their booking online. On package holidays flying with the airline, the basic allowance is 15 kg per passenger, although some bookings have an allowance of 20 kg. This will be made clear during the booking process. In addition, any passengers who book a Premium Club ticket are allowed up to 23 kg. Young children under 2 may bring up to 10 kg of baggage as well as a stroller.
Thomson Airways passengers travelling together on a single booking may pool their allowances, but there is a maximum weight limit for any one bag of 23 kg. Sports equipment must be booked by passengers 2 months ahead of their flight. This can only be done by calling the airline's customer service desk. There are fees in place for anyone who goes over their luggage allowance.
My first time travelling with Thomson's airlines, it was a great experience. I will surely do it again, and recommend it.
Good price but sadly suit case wasn't included. Once this was added it was not so cheap.
I paid £200 more than my friend who booked he same flight under a week after me. I wasn't able to check in online and didn't see where to chose my dietary requirements so get a vegetarian meal on my way out. The seat by the window in the exit row that I sat in was too small for me to sit straight and I have bad hips somit caused problems despite being more expensive than normal seats! The staff in the way home were amazing - 27th from Sri Lanka to gatwick. This flight was much better than the first flight. good Choice of films too.
It is nothing short of sharp practise whereby Thomson Airways do not allow online check-in within 7 days of the departure date unless you pay an exhorbitant fee for selecting a seat. This means that it is necessary to check in while on holiday, which I tried to do on 3 separate occasions but the website kept throwing up an error message. We checked in at the airport and were allocated seats 32e an 32f, the very last row. Apart from the fact that my wife suffers from claustrophobia in confined spaces, the toilets are immediately behind us which meant that other passengers were queuing alongside our seats almost throughout the flight and the noise of the toilet doors slamming and the toilet flushing was extremely annoying.
Return flight delayed for about an hour because of problems of gate 31. Why on earth could we not have used another gate, as we were bussed to the awaiting aeroplane?


On October 16th, I wowed the crowd with a slideshow presentation at Aperture Foundation (a la Apple's Keynote). Chip started the evening by reading the foreword he wrote for my book. The best part, however, was the dialogue about our book cover (1) (2) (3) and Zoetrope All-Story collaborations. This was followed by a question and answer session that was, at times, hilarious. I was on my best behavior until Chip "opened the door" and loosed my wry sense of humor. A book signing was a perfect end to the evening and I signed so many that the fumes from my paint pen had me pretty loopy by the time it was over.
A big hug to everyone at Aperture and to all the fans, family (my wife - El, daughter - Miren and Aunt Patsy and Uncle David Oser) and friends (Eileen Fisher, Nicole Gagnon, Irene Gallo, Tim Briner and, last (but not least) Stewart Williams who came to listen to me mutter. Without all of you, I'm nothing. And let's not forget Thom Barry and Michael Foley.

Q: PYZ file extension I have searched but can find no way to read PYZ files. I know they are a type of zip file, but I can not read them by way of a zip program.
This is in reference to another question where I need access to the _init__ file inside a directory structure that is created by pyinstaller when attempting to build an exe. During this process, a out00-PYZ.pyz file is created, and the error references a file inside the PYZ.
The thread here describes how to decompile from an EXE to obtain PYC files, but doesn't work with PYZ files.
Surely there is someway to crack open this commonly used pythonic file?
Many thanks in advance.

A: If you had used Pyinstaller you can go to the location of directory which contains .pyz then go SHIFT and right click on directory, go to open command window here, then:

Abstract: Deduplication is maturing as a standard attribute on backup and archives, whereby the aim is to free the storage space by removing the duplicates. Considering the storage room demand and justifiable deletion, this paper proposes a multi-container intelligent deduplication image archive system; where analogous images are disposed from the system based on the similarity approach. Similarity-aware image deduplication is achieved by calculating image fingerprints and the images are deleted when their hamming distance matches the predefined threshold. A probability model is addressed for the overall probability of getting similar images on the respective containers based on their relative storage and similarity scores of the images. In addition, the linear optimization model is formulated to target data minimization and storage space maximization; which is further verified with the dataset. We perform experimentation of our work on the existing as well as synthesized datasets and various accuracy metrics are calculated in terms of precision, recall, f-score and deduplication ratio. It is observed that binary hashes used in our system give the fair contribution in removing similar images.
Keywords: deduplication; image; fingerprints; similarity; storage space; optimization.

Looking for a versatile meat free product with plenty of nutritional punch? Why not give tempeh a try.
A traditional soy product hailing from Indonesia, tempeh is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form.
Specialty tempehs may be made from other types of beans, wheat, or may include a mixture of beans and whole grains, or be made with soy pulp, cassava fibre, black soybeans, peanut press dregs, coconut dregs, barley or oats.
As well as protein, tempeh is a good source of B vitamins - vitamins B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B6 (pyrodoxine), vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) - and minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.
Tempeh is a healthy source of protein, meaning it promotes muscle growth and boost the repair process in the body. Being trans-fat-free, tempeh is a wonderful option for replacing meat in recipes. A dairy-free source of calcium, it is rich in health-promoting vitamins and minerals.
The fermentation process means tempeh offers probiotic benefits, which can improve gut health, and optimise digestion. Find out more about the benefits of fermented foods. Studies also suggest consuming tempeh may lower cholesterol levels and aid the regulation of blood sugar levels.
Consuming soy products, which have a high mineral content, may also help support bone health, especially when consumed as part of a diet rich in whole foods.
Tempeh vs tofu – what's the difference?
Both tempeh and tofu are vegan-friendly foods made from soybeans. However, it is in their preparation and nutrient content where tempeh and tofu differ.
Tempeh is made from whole soybeans in a process that involves fermentation. It has a nutty, mushroom flavour, is firm in texture and is a great addition to salads, pasta and rice dishes and stir-fries.
Tofu is made from soybean curd through a process of, crushing, soaking and curdling and pressing soybeans. It can also be made from soymilk.
Tofu has a very subtle taste and takes on the flavour of whatever you're making - curries, stir-fries or desserts, and is available in soft and firm varieties.
On the nutrition front tempeh comes out just in front – it has a higher protein and fibre content than tofu and is a less processed product.
Tempeh has a firm texture, and is usually prepared by cutting it into pieces, soaking in brine or salty sauce, and then frying, but it can also be steamed, marinated, thinly sliced, or blackened.
It's often used as a meat substitute in casseroles, stir fries, soups, salads, and sandwiches, and provides a nutty, meaty, and mushroom-like taste.
It also grates well, so it can then be used as a mince like substance. It's sponge-like qualities means it takes on marinade flavours well.
Tempeh is readily available through health food stores and supermarkets.
To help you get tempeh onto your weekly roster of healthy meals here's 4 of our favourite tempeh recipes for you to get started.
This tasty twist on fish fingers is a great introduction for those new to tempeh and one for the whole family.

Under sinister pressure from the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury, the young King Henry the Fifth is lured into claiming much of Medieval France as property of the English Crown. After being insulted by The Dauphin of France, Henry leads a small but brave band of soldiers into a painful and arduous war with France. The war culminates at the Battle of Agincourt where despite being outnumbered five to one, the English forces are rallied by Henry's epic speech and go on to victory. After peace is declared and the treaty is signed, the French king grants Henry the hand of his daughter, Katherine of Volois, in marriage and England and France are united. However, the show ends with the chorus/narrator giving an ominous reminder that the son of Henry and Katherine, Henry VI, will have a tumultuous reign.


An Ecofloat commissioned project in response to the current housing shortage, with a view to creating a rigorous and scaleable community, founded on the principles of affordability, quality of execution and permanence.
Admittedly a challenge; the design and fabrication of an anti-contextual home – here we have instead focussed on and challenged the preconceived ideas of prefabrication (or in lay terms, the 'prefab') and living on water. This results in an architectural response that actively and bullishly challenges, and in straightforward terms ensures deep reveals and thick walls, materials with heft such as concrete and solid timber, and volume; we're seeking to bring back dignity within small spaces.
We will continue to lobby Lenders and Local Authorities to move towards embracing alternative methods of procurement, construction and delivery.
Fundamentally, we are exploring alternative modes of architectural practice with a view to being, and working alongside the maker or enabler, to ensure greater influence throughout the entire design process and a richness in output not often found when making the affordable-new.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki has reacted to an invitation by the IG of police concerning the Offa bank robbery which led to the loss of lives and properties.
In the recent letter to Saraki, the Police chief said some of the robbery leaders alleged that Saraki gave them arms and money used to rob.
"While I continue to maintain that the issue of my position on the 2019 elections is not a personal decision for me alone to make, it should be noted that all these concoctions and evil plot cannot deter me.
"Those behind this fresh assault will fail as I have nothing to do with the robbery incident or any criminal matter for that matter.
"I am aware that following a request made by the Police on June 13, 2018 to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) of the Fedeeation had written a legal advice dated June 22, 2018, in which he stated on page 5, paragraph (f) that For the Senate President and the Kwara State Governor, this office is unable to establish from the evidence in the interim report a nexus between the alleged office and the suspects".
"The Police have obviously corrupted and politicized their investigations into the Offa robbery incident.
"They have turned it into an instrument for the party in power to suppress perceived opponents, witchhunt issue for blackmailing people from freely choosing which platform on which they want to pursue their ambition and a matter for harassing the people whose exit from APC would harm the chances of the party in the forthcoming elections.
"I want to make it apparent that I have no hand in either the robbery incident or any criminal activity.
"The Police in their haste to embarrass me sent the invitation to me at 8pm and requested that I report to the station by 8am tomorrow morning.
"This obviously demonstrated their desperation as I do not see why they are now in a hurry.
"They also stated in today's letter that because in my response of June 7, 2018 to their own letter written on June 4, 2018, I stated that I was responding simply to the contents of the letter and that the full text of the statement made by the arrested suspects which they claimed indicted me was not made available to me, they were now including the suspects statements in the current letter.
"Yet, instead of including the suspects' statements, they only attached two copies of my own letter to the invitation. No suspects statement was made available.
"This plot aimed at compelling me and my associates to stay in a party where members are criminalized without just cause, where injustice is perpetrated at the highest level and where there is no respect for constitutionalism is an exercise in futility and it will fail.

Play reading event coming up!
Event coming up for anyone in the Montreal area. My short play "Down in the Valley", a meditation on what it means to be human set in a kind of post-Apocalyptic Quebec City, is getting a public reading with the community theatre group Theatre NDG. This is such a cool program that they do, giving writers a chance to test out the plays they're developing in front of a live audience. I'm very excited and a little nervous to hear my words read aloud by their actors. Plus, it's a double feature, so the audience gets to hear two plays in one evening!
Thanks! This fills me with respect for how you perform your music in public all the time, because yikes, the pressure! All those strangers!

Paterson (DVD)
By Jim Jarmusch
Rated by Sheida B.
Paterson is a quiet, beautiful love story. It depicts a week in the life of a bus driver named Paterson (Adam Driver) and his wife, Laura (Golshifteh Farahani). They live in the town of Paterson, New Jersey, which William Carlos Williams immortalized in his poetry. In his spare time, our Paterson writes poetry, mostly love poems about his wife. He writes down his poems wherever he can: in a small cupboard in the basement, in the bus before he starts work. He derives his inspiration from life around him so that the subtle rhythm of an average day becomes the beat of his poem. When Laura tells
Locally Laid: How We Built a Plucky, Industry-Changing Egg Farm--From Scratch
By Lucie B. Amundsen
When Jason Amundsen drops an egg farm bomb on his wife Lucie, she understandably balks at the idea. He's already dragged her from city to city chasing his supposed dreams, but those dreams at least came with health benefits. This one? It's too much, and Lucie successfully puts the kibosh on the idea. Until Jason gets laid off.
He gets laid off, and this silly dream of his won't die. The rest of the story is of Lucie, Jason, and their two children, Abbie and Milo, all walking the tightrope between family and farm. Lucie must hold her home, husband, and children close to her heart, while the

The Hopefuls
By Jennifer Close
Rated by Diane H.
I'm of two minds about The Hopefuls. On the one hand, it is a thought-provoking look at a marriage under stress. On the other hand, I found the main character to be a bit lackluster.
Beth Kelly is a writer who loves her husband, Matt, enough to leave her beloved New York and move to an alien place – Washington D.C. Matt is an aspiring politician who joins the Obama campaign and gets a job in the administration after Obama's victory. Beth finds a job that is definitely not her dream job, but it's writing, and it keeps her occupied.
She has trouble acclimating to her new environment until
The Journal of Best Practices: A Memoir of Marriage, Asperger Syndrome, and One Man's Quest to Be a Better Husband
By David Finch
Rated by Hope H.
Imagine, at the age of 30, discovering you're not typical — or rather, not neurotypical. What could have been a scary diagnosis turned out to be very empowering for David Finch. His personal story of coping with Asperger Syndrome and saving his marriage paints a picture of hard-earned possibility. Finch may be at the milder end of the Asperger/autism spectrum, but for a neurotypical like myself, I learned a lot about the life of someone whose brain works very differently from my own. At the same time, I also saw aspects of myself in his behaviors, a reminder that common ground can still be
Cutie and the Boxer
By Zachary Heinzerling
Zachary Heinzerling's debut documentary about Japanese artists Ushio and Noriko Shinohara is a film that astonishes viewers not because Ushio and Noriko are wonderful artists—and they are—so much as because they've managed to stay married to one another. Forty years ago, a beautiful young woman came to America to study art and met Ushio, a hell-raising iconoclast who gained a bit of fame as a performance artist. Noriko fell in love.
Life with Ushio isn't easy for Noriko—he drinks, doesn't sell much artwork—but it is stimulating. She suffers, citing her husband (while sitting next to him
Asterios Polyp
By David Mazzucchelli
Asterios Polyp is a self-assured, domineering, wind-bag of a paper architect. A paper architect being one "whose reputation rests on his designs, rather than on the buildings constructed from them. In fact, none of his designs had ever been built."
When we meet Asterios, his Manhattan apartment, where he wallows in self-pity while riding out a mid-life crisis, has just burned to the ground. So he takes the last of his money, hops on a bus, and "give[s] up on the one thing [he] thought defined him." And it "prove[s] to be a lot less difficult than [he] could have imagined."

How To Talk To a Widower
By Jonathan Tropper
Poor Doug Parker. At 29, he's living a life he never anticipated. And it's great. Surprisingly great. Great, until his wife Haley goes off and dies, leaving him alone to deal with his 16-year-old stepson, Haley's beefed-up ex-husband, and a crushing sadness that prevents him from really living.
Tropper has a gift for realistically portraying emotion. In the titles I've sampled, Tropper's main characters are stuck in a suspended state, whether it be grief, or shock, surprise, bewilderment, or all of the above. And there is always a caste of wonderful characters, mostly dysfunctional family

I Married You for Happiness by Lily Tuck
By Lily Tuck
This short novel takes place over the course of one night and opens with a death. Nina is calling her husband, Phillip, for dinner and when he doesn't answer, she immediately senses what has happened. She decides to keep his body overnight - to spend a final night with her husband of 42 years. She holds an all-night vigil by his side and reminisces about their life together. As she is trying to sort her emotions, the memories of their life together return like flashbacks. The purposefully fragmented and non-linear writing style skips back and forth between different decades and the many
Wedding Cake for Breakfast: Essays on the Unforgettable First Year of Marriage edited by Kim Perel and Wendy Sherman
Don't mind the title, this book is much better than leftover cake. Editors Kim Perel and Wendy Sherman have stitched together a collection of personal essays from women who reveal the joys, dramas, peculiarities, and even tragedies faced during the first months and years of marriage. Each offers a unique perspective, but the stories read well as a whole, each with a dose of humor to tie them together and remind us that sometimes laughter really is the best medicine.
Perhaps most meaningful to me, many of these narratives are fond reflections that come decades after the first "I do,"
Wife 22 by Melanie Gideon
While reading Wife 22 I engaged in simultaneous duty-shirking and exaggerated eye-rolling. I certainly had better things to do, yet I couldn't put the silly thing down. The perfect formula for a rainy Saturday afternoon read, in my opinion.
Wife 22, otherwise known as Alice Buckle, is engaged in an on-line survey about marriage. In answering the questions, Alice realizes that she is bored and probably unhappy in her marriage to William. She eventually engages in communication with Researcher 101 outside of the survey via fake Facebook pages. After developing this on-line relationship and

There's nothing like a broken heart to inspire a lofty personal goal, and broken-hearted Delilah Levi aspires to becoming a rabbi's wife. She achieves her goal only to discover that not all rebbitzins live in wealthy communities, yet all rebbitzins are expected to work alongside their husbands.
As Delilah becomes less and less enchanted with rabbinical life, she quietly, yet persistently, undermines her husband until his congregation disintegrates and she influences him to take a career-killing position in the wealthy Swallow Lake community despite its disreputable reputation within the
The Bitch in the House: women tell the truth about sex, solitude, work, motherhood, and marriage, edited by Cathi Hanauer
Rated by Marty J.
As Cathi Hanauer, the editor of The Bitch in the House, explains, "This book was born out of anger…which stemmed from a combination of guilt, resentment, exhaustion, naivete, and the chaos of my life at the time." Sharing her thoughts and feelings about her situation in late night e-mails to friends brought her to the realizations that a) many women were facing the same struggles and that b) she was gaining comfort and insight from these conversations. These realizations led her to approach women she knew and knew of, with the idea of writing essays about their own personal choices and
What do you say about a book that has been lauded by professional reviewers as a "taut, clear-eyed memoir" with a "sheer and highly efficient writing style" and is "elegant [in its] rendition of the stages [of grief]"?
All I can say is bleech. I didn't come close to shedding a tear while reading this book and I weep during Hallmark commercials. I don't understand how a book about the sudden loss of a loving husband after returning from the ICU where a daughter hangs by a thread can leave me void of emotion. But Didion has done it here. It's inexplicable.
It's All About Him: Finding the Love of My Life by Denise J. Jackson
Rated by Martha C.
C.S. Lewis move over! Here comes Denise Jackson. Reminiscent of the Oxford doyen's Surprised by Joy, Jackson's faith biography comes to us in the tenor of a Southern blonde belle. Her unabashed naked soul shakes the reader to the core. As a graying librarian I've learned to listen carefully to my patrons. One day a mousey female in her late 20's approached saying, "I want the book, It's All About Him. You know --the book by the wife of Alan Jackson, the country-western music star." When she said his name, her lowered face raised to shine into mine. Some people think librarians know everything
A Change in Altitude by Anita Shreve

Two newly –wed Americans in their late 20s, Margaret and Patrick, find themselves in Africa in the late 70s, where Patrick, a medical doctor, is working a year in Kenya as part of his fellowship in equatorial medicine. An adventure, climbing Mount Kenya with two other couples, takes a deadly turn, and deeply affects the relationship between Margaret and Patrick. Anita Shreve fashions this almost autobiographical story (she lived in Kenya in the late 70s and climbed Mt. Kenya herself, and visited many of the towns she writes about) in a low-key but thoughtful manner, without getting overly
A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick
From the beginning, Ralph Truitt knew Catherine Land was not who she pretended to be. Expecting the "simple, honest woman" from the picture she had sent after answering his advertisement for "a reliable wife", beautiful Catherine came as something of a shock. Thinking her act wholly convincing, Catherine plays the role of simplicity and innocence in hopes of accomplishing a deadly deception.
As Ralph and Catherine begin to live parallel lives in which they each punish themselves for their pasts, they find that in forgiving themselves they can find the happiness that has proven so elusive
The Buffalo Soldier by Chris Bohjalian
When Terry and Laura Sheldon lose their twin daughters in a flood, understandably, it takes them a few years to adjust to their seemingly empty life. Upon deciding to become foster parents they anxiously await the arrival of whom they envision to be a sweet, blonde-ringleted child who might resemble their own precious girls. They are charged, however, with Alfred, an introverted young black child who is as dismayed at his own presence in rural Vermont as the rural Vermontians are with him.

Janus Activating Kinase 2 (JAK2) is a 130 kDa tyrosine kinase involved in cytoplasmic signal transduction. Ligand binding to a variety of cell surface receptors (e.g., cytokine, growth factor, GPCRs) leads to an association of those receptors with JAK proteins, which are then activated via phosphorylation on tyrosines 1007 and 1008 in the kinase activation loop. Activated JAK proteins phosphorylate and activate STAT (signal transducers and activators of transcription) proteins, which then dimerize and translocate to the nucleus. Once in the nucleus, STAT proteins bind to DNA and modify the transcription of various genes, which can lead to various responses such as cell proliferation, cell survival and differentiation.

Q: Can I hide/show this menu with CSS3 and or javascript without a timeout http://jsfiddle.net/blankasaurus/YPR4U/15/embedded/result/
I have the layout functioning how I want it to function. I'm not sure I like having to set the width in the toggle function:
 $('.content').css('width', '100%');

 $('.content').css('width', '75%');

and I also REALLY don't like having to set a timeout before showing and hiding the menu panel:
 setTimeout(function()
 {
     $('.sidebar').fadeIn();
 }, 1001);

Is there a better way to go about this?
Here's a fiddle:

A: For the fading out, you can just use a callback function passed into fadeOut.
For example:
$('.sidebar').fadeOut( 400, function() {
    $('.content').css('width', '100%');
});

For the fading in, you could try using transition events. You'll just have to write specific code for different browsers, and not surprisingly, older browsers are not supported.

Endless (Larry) Summers
By Michael Maiello
This morning in Politico, Ben White tries to knock down arguments against Lawrence Summers becoming the next Chairman of the Governors of the Federal Reserve Board in an article sadly not headlined "Wet, Hot American Summers." Promoting his story this morning, White tweeted the following:
Also, multiple sources close to the matter tell me Larry Summers remains the leading candidate for Fed Chair http://t.co/6A99wJ5ntb
— Ben White (@morningmoneyben) July 31, 2013
The "Summers for Fed Chair" idea has taken on a Bourne Identity and is cheating death.
This is perplexing. Democrats in the Senate have objected. Feminists have objected. Wall Street has objected. People who see a perfectly qualified candidate in current Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen have objected. Summers, for all he has going for him, is not the only person in the world who can do the job. President Obama dropped Susan Rice from Secretary of State contention over less strenuous objections than Summers faces now (and Rice was a target for enemies, Summers attracts the ire of Obama's supporters).
Summers is a man of above average intelligence who has advised two presidents, worked on Wall Street in high positions, served as President of Harvard and has made a boatload of money. He has been a player in national affairs since the Clinton years. By all accounts, no matter how great a brain he has ticking up there, his influence has far exceeded his talents. That's not even a knock on his talents. It's just that, enough is enough.
The world can spin without Summers getting to run the Fed, but Politico out of either reflexive contrarianism or its perpetual bromance with anyone with power and a gray suit, can't let go. A lot of very smart people who are monetary policy experts (a distinction that Summers has ironically not claimed for himself) will never run the Fed. But Politico isn't gathering opinions about whether or not it's a travesty that Nobel laureates like Joseph Stiglitz will never get the call.
A potential Summers nomination is sucking the air out of the room. Mostly, this is because of Summers' roster of friends can get him what he wants. He is pals with Obama, with former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, with Former Treasury Secretary and perpetual confidante to the powerful Robert Rubin. Summers is even Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg's mentor, proving that even if he's a man from the 90s, Summers knows how to stay fresh.
The Summers fight is degrading the economic conversation. One example, cited by Politico is that some Summers opponents fault him for supporting the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act that had barred commercial banks from participating in investment banking activities. The counter argument to this is that, had Glass-Steagall been in force in 2008, the Financial Crisis would have happened anyway. Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns were not, in fact, commercial banks. They would have blown up anyway. I could refute this argument in excruciating detail but I am going to go ahead and accept it because the very thought process here is flawed. To say that since Glass-Steagall wouldn't have prevented the Financial Crisis it should have been repealed is as stupid as saying that because the Newtown School shooter didn't use a gun that fit the technical definition of "assault rifle" that all machine guns should be legal for purchase at Wal-Mart.
What I haven't seen anyone do is make the case that Summers is the singularly best person to run the Fed right now. Absent that, and with a world full of alternatives, I think we could do without that Summers guy. Don't worry, if he doesn't get the job he won't go away from public life or anything. In an accomplished career, going away is the one thing he's never done.

Interpreting Basics
Workshop Leader: Mazen Alfarhan
Workshop Schedule Date: 13 January 19 - 16 January 19
Venue: LAS Building - Classroom A019B
Professional interpreters are increasingly in demand in international organizations and agencies, law firms, and media networks. In addition to conference interpreting, community interpreting is also on the rise to ensure communication in courts, hospitals, educational institutions, government agencies, and conflict zones. In the light of the increasing demand for interpreters stirred by the process of globalization, the need to train interpreters is of paramount importance to equip them with the skills required to meet the market needs.
The purpose of this workshop is train the participants in gaining a basic knowledge in the field of interpreting. It provides an overview of the fundamentals of interpreting techniques and the different types of interpreting (simultaneous, consecutive, sight, whispering and liaison), and lays the foundation necessary to develop the advanced skills used by professional interpreters.
The workshop includes:
Introduction to consecutive interpreting and note taking;
Strategies to develop short term memory as well as analyze and process information;
Introduction to simultaneous interpreting;
Strategies to solve linguistic and non-linguistic problems during the interpreting process;
Introduction to other types of interpreting (whispering, sight and liaison);
Short memory boosting exercises.
Live exercises will be provided by the trainer for simulation purposes. Specifically, participants will be trained in a set of two interpreting modes that require much preparation, i.e. consecutive and simultaneous. Boosting exercises will be used to help them develop their memory capacity and sharpness. They will also be invited to bring in their own experience as to the dilemmas they have encountered in their careers. The guided practice in this workshop will help them address questions such as:
Should the interpreter correct or improve the content of original audio-texts?
Should the interpreter grant priority to sense or style?
How should the interpreter prepare for the event?
How should the interpreter deal with neutrality?
Should interpreters accept work that lies beyond their competence?
Should interpreters undercut colleagues by offering lower prices for interpreting services?
What are the responsibilities towards other colleagues?
In what circumstances should the interpreter refuse work?
Build/develop the participants' skills in interpreting;
Conduct live interpreting exercises using a variety of audio-texts;
Introduce participants to note taking;
Conduct short memory boosting exercises.
Learn about essentials of note taking techniques;
Raise awareness and exposure to the interpreting environment;
Acquire fairly advanced interpreting techniques;
Take part in interpreting exercises with a variety of accents;
Acquire strategies to develop short term memory and information processing skills.
The workshop is most suited for those who have a university degree in a language-related field and/or no less than 2 years of experience in translation. A good level of proficiency in Arabic and English is required.
Mazen Alfarhan
A senior interpreter and certified legal translator with two MA degrees in interpreting/translation and diplomacy from Heriot-Watt University and London University respectively. He also holds a diploma in Arabization from Damascus University. He has been working for the last six years as a translation reviser and trainer at the Translation and Interpreting Institute of Hamad Bin Khalifa University.
A Chevening Scholar (2004-5) and a Said Scholar (2000-1), Mazen won the CHSS 'Best Translation Poster' prize in 2017 for his translation of Other Words Other Meanings: A Guide to Health Care Interpreting in International Settings, published by Geneva University Hospitals in 2016. He also received three Qatar Foundation 'Professional Excellence' awards.
As an educator, he taught Conference Interpreting at the MA Interpreting Program of Damascus University for four years (2009-2013). As a professional interpreter, he interpreted at more than 150 events and for many leaders and officials, including the late Kofi Annan, Former UN Secretary General, Javier Solana, Former EU Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Pervez Musharraf, Former President of Pakistan, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Former Prime Minister of India, Romano Brodi, Former Prime Minister of Italy, Kamal Kharazi, Former Foreign Minister of Iran, and the late Sergio Vieira de Mello, Former UN Envoy to Iraq, to name a few.


WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Researchers have developed a combination of commercially available hardware and open-source software, known as PySight, that improves rapid 2D and 3D imaging of the brain and other tissues. By seamlessly enabling integration of the fastest 3D imaging solution available today, the advance in microscopy could help scientists to better understand brain dynamics and discover new treatments for health problems such as stroke, epilepsy and dementia.
In Optica, The Optical Society's journal for high impact research, the researchers describe PySight, which serves as a photon counting add-on for laser scanning microscopes. Geared with this novel combination of software and hardware, they improved the quality of 2D and 3D imaging of neuronal activity in the living brain.
PySight provides high spatiotemporal resolution while producing a data stream that scales with the number of detected photons, not the volume or area being imaged. "Conventional data acquisition hardware stores the brightness of every pixel or 3D voxel even when it is zero because no photons were detected in that particular location," Blinder explained. "PySight, however, only stores the precise detection time of each photon, allowing researchers to conduct rapid imaging of large volumes over long sessions, without compromising spatial or temporal resolution."
"The multiscaler we used hasn't been applied to neuroimaging because the output isn't easy to interpret, and using a resonant axial scanning lens for bioimaging has required custom-made hardware to generate 3D renderings from the acquired data," said Blinder. "PySight turns the output from both components into a 3D movie effortlessly. Because the software is freely available to the public, it should greatly aid labs previously deterred by the high technical barrier that accompanied 3D imaging." Because of its generic application interface, PySight could also be used to interpret similar photon detection time lists from suitable hardware devices.
To test whether PySight was truly plug and play, the researchers walked with their multiscaler to another imaging lab on the Tel Aviv University campus. They were able to simply plug in the device, download the PySight software and start recording odor responses in fruit flies genetically modified to express voltage indicators — a fast probe for neuronal activity — in a subset of their neurons.

Reminding us of the former UN Secretaries General is so fantastic. Many lives would have been lost now a days had the UN not been existing. Can you also please include the last positions they (UN Secretaries General) held in their countries of origin and the last positions they had held in UN bodies before they became UN Secretary General. I noticed they're all men – we need to a female UN General Secretary after Antonio Guterres I think.
Hi Rek Luak Moses, thanks for your suggestion. We're always keen to improve #Adducation lists because #WeLoveLists so we've added the UNSG career timelines.


Low rating due to no comprehensive index being clearly and readily available.
I know I didn't go through 1141 pages, but all of a sudden I'm on page 1142. What in the world?!?!?!
There were about 3 things I learned, so that's good; just weird.


The City Vice Mayor presented a proclamation a month before the event. The City Manager presented the proclamation to kick off the event. All of the registered exhibitors came to the event. During National Drive Electric Week, but before the event the city we partnered with voted on and approved having a green committee and also voted on and approved the purchase of a public L2 charging station from sema connect that will be installed at a city beach access. The hit EVs of the show was the privately owned BMW i8 and the NASA mock up LVR moon buggy as part of the NASA display.
The Space Coast EV Drivers will be partnering with the City of Satellite Beach, FL for this year's National Drive Electric Week event. We'll be at the David R Schechter Community Center, 1089 S Patrick Dr, Satellite Beach, FL 32937 from 10 am until 4 pm answering everyone's questions about electric cars. So bring the whole family and take a look at all the different models from the Chevy Volt to the Nissan Leaf to the Tesla Model S and everything in between! It's free for all and includes ride and drives in the electric cars. If you've never taken a ride in an electric car this will be a great time to see how smooth and quiet the drive can be.
Learn all about the differences in the various models like some that have a built in gasoline generator that automatically starts when the battery runs out so you can take long trips without worrying about where to plug in. Or how the Tesla Model S can use the Supercharger stations throughout the US along highways for a super fast charge on long trips for free for life! Pack some food, stay with friends, and leave your wallet at home!
If you have questions about driving electric bring them to the Space Coast EV Drivers club and try to stump our members who have been driving them every day for several years. Sign up here as an attendee or volunteer if you want to help out during the event. Thanks for visiting and we'll see you in September!
Registered attendees report 653,942 electric miles driven.

Q: Handling In-App Credits better approach I met 2 different approaches to handling in-app credits.
If the problem is defined as:
Allow a customer to purchase credits, which they're allowed to spend on different in-system items. The credits should have an expiration date.
The top-arch solutions can be described as:
Solution A
Store the balance of credits on a customer, and have a table tracking different events happening to this balance (purchased/spent).
Solution B
Omit balance altogether, and derive the remaining credits based on the events that have happened to the balance (have it as a dynamic field, sort of)
Are there any things to take into consideration when choosing between these two? Is there a third approach or a pattern that should be followed to resolve the problem properly?

A: Banks solved this long ago with transactions. You can store a balance of credits on a customer but that's not the single source of truth. That's just a cache. Every transaction since this customer/account was created is the source of truth. Any "balance" is only a record of what those added up to at one time. You are NEVER assured that this "balance" is current. It's only a record of math being done on the known set of transactions. Some transactions may have occurred but are still pending because their in a queue, in transit, or lost behind a desk. That set is always subject to change. It can even change while those transactions are being added up.
That doesn't mean omit balance. It means be very careful about what you claim balance is.

A: In a perfect world, don't store the balance. Just do the aggregation of all the transactions any time you need a balance. However, this sometimes can be non-feasible for performance/other reasons. There is an option C, which is to calculate and store the balance during some period of the day/week/month/year when it is feasible to do so (overnight batch, year-end, etc), and mark those transactions as 'balance-persisted'. When you need to know the current balance, use the persisted balance plus any non-balance-persisted transactions. Also, if you have some kind of system migration, or you change the nature in which transactions are stored, you might find the system easier to understand and maintain if its got a concept of a balance calculated at a certain time.

Movie Review: Shazam
Shazam is a disposable superhero popcorn flick weighed down by DC's identity crisis, underwritten characters, and disjointed script.
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson's case, by shouting out one word – SHAZAM! – this streetwise fourteen-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult superhero Shazam.
Not to be confused with the anomaly Kazam, Shazam is a departure from the Nolan lite attempts of DC to make gritty superhero movies and differentiate itself from Marvel.
Shazam is a classic hero journey that will serve as an amusing filler before Avengers: Endgame, which will mark the end of an era and break hearts around the world.
Solid performances (Levi's hammy acting is up for debate), self-aware sense of humor and cast chemistry are the key ingredients that make this typical superhero transformation movie serviceable.
When Billy!Shazam and Freddy hang out and do what we all would do as a kid – steal money to buy video games, try beer – is when Shazam offers kid-friendly delights as advertised. It will also generate some chuckles from the adults with its metajokes.
The rest of the movie though is plagued with the identity crises of DC.
Shazam flips between a generic popcorn flick made to attract families and a violent action movie where monsters bite off people's heads. As a result, the action isn't much of a thrill and the fight scenes are repetitive.
While Levi (in an unfortunate hotdog costume) and Mark Strong (in a cool supervillain leather wardrobe) fit their roles, their characters are blank slates, as part of the movie's attempt to be a catchall for everyone while trying to be a franchise-launcher. This turns the rest of the film superficial.
There's an interesting parallel between Shazam and Sivana's origin stories – both shaped by a traumatic childhood and responded in opposite ways. There's something about an orphan boy deciding to give a shit despite being abandoned. And there's that universal appeal of rejects learning to trust each other.
It seems that character investment is too much for a popcorn movie written to compensate for the botched attempts of DC to have its own identity.
Still, Shazam offers some popcorn entertainment for adults who want to forget that their existence is essentially slow dancing to a burning planet while offering a good time at the movies for kids.
