QUE VIVA MEXICO (1933) * with switchable English and Spanish subtitles *
Sergei M. Eisenstein, Martín Hernández, Isabel Villaseñor and Félix Balderas
A legendary production plagued by problems almost from the outset, the making of QUE VIVA MEXICO cured Sergei Eisenstein of the desire ever to work in North America again. On the verge of leaving Hollywood in disgust in 1930, Eisenstein accepted financing from a group of investors, led by writer Upton Sinclair, to make an ambitious film on Mexican culture. When the director ran out of money before shooting was completed, Sinclair shut down production and seized the extant footage. More than 40 years later, the film was turned over to Eisenstein's assistant, Grigori Alexandrov, and he edited what remained according to the director's notes. The film consists of three vignettes: Sandunga, Manguei, and Fiesta. The first explores the precolonial world of the Incas, observing ancient architecture and detailing pagan religious practices and langorous mating rituals. In the second, a murderer is punished for his crime in an unusually graphic and barbaric manner. The third features a brilliantly photographed bullfight. There was to be a fourth episode, Soldadera, dealing with the 1910 revolution. Although it was never shot, Alexandrov describes Eisentein's intentions with the aid of still photos and sketches. Despite its fragmentary nature, this unique document, permeated by images of eroticism and death, contains what is likely the most breathtaking photography of Mexico on celluloid.

Q: How to add data from async method in singleton in Startup.cs in net.core 3.0? I'm trying to get async data from HttpClient and add this data as singleton at ConfigureServices in Startup.cs
public static class SolDataFill
{
    static HttpClient Client;

    static SolDataFill()
    {
        Client = new HttpClient();
    }

    public static async Task<SolData> GetData(AppSettings option)
    {
        var ulr = string.Format(option.MarsWheaterURL, option.DemoKey);
        var httpResponse = await Client.GetAsync(ulr);

        var stringResponse = await httpResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

        var wheather = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SolData>(stringResponse);
        return wheather;
    }
}

Startup.cs
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.Configure<AppSettings>(Configuration);
    var settings = Configuration.GetSection("NasaHttp") as AppSettings;
    var sData = await SolDataFill.GetData(settings);
    services.AddSingleton<SolData>(sData);
}

There is an error: it's possible to use await with async only. How to add data from async method to singleton?

A: Maybe you should consider to rework your SolDataFill to end up as a DataService instead of adding everything to the DI container.
Then everybody who needs the data can query for it. (This is why I have added the cache here to not always do a request)
public class SolDataFill
{
    private readonly HttpClient _client;
    private readonly AppSettings _appSettings;
    private readonly ILogger _logger;

    private static SolData cache;

    public SolDataFill(HttpClient client, AppSettings options, ILogger<SolDataFill> logger)
    {
        _client = client;
        _appSettings = options;
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public async Task<SolData> GetDataAsync()
    {
        if(cache == null)
        {
            var ulr = string.Format(_appSettings.MarsWheaterURL, _appSettings.DemoKey);
            _logger.LogInformation(ulr);
            var httpResponse = await _client.GetAsync(ulr);
            if(httpResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                _logger.LogInformation("{0}", httpResponse.StatusCode);
                var stringResponse = await httpResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                cache = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SolData>(stringResponse);
                return cache;
            }
            else
            {
                _logger.LogInformation("{0}", httpResponse.StatusCode);
            }
        }
        return cache;
    }
}

Full example can be found here
Like written in the comments of your question its very simple to run a async method synchronous by just GetAwaiter().GetResult(). But in my optinion everytime I see this code I personally think there is a code smell hidden which can be refactored.

The Norwegian Royal Court. Annual Report 2014
The Norwegian Royal Court published its annual report for 2014 last Friday, 27 March 2015. The report gives an overview of the activities of the Royal Family and Royal Court and also includes the accounts for the Civil List and a survey of the orders and medals awarded by the King during 2014. The press release read:
"The annual report of the Royal Court for 2014 was submitted today to the Presidium of the Storting, the Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation, and the Office of the Auditor General of Norway.
The Royal Family visited 69 municipalities and all of Norway's counties in 2014. The King and Queen carried out a State Visit to Myanmar in December, while the Crown Prince and Crown Princess paid an official visit to Vietnam in March.
The accounts for the Civil List showed a surplus of NOK 6 846 443 compared to a deficit of NOK 6 701 468 in 2013. The accounts show that a major portion of the funding allocated is used to maintain and develop the Royal Palace, the other buildings at the disposal of the Royal Family and the cultural and historical treasures that these buildings house.
The accounts for the staff of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess showed a surplus of NOK 2 607 816. This surplus has been set aside for future procurements/operating reserves.
The accounts for "Åpent Slott" (cultural outreach activities) showed a surplus of NOK 93 570. This surplus has been transferred to equity capital.
"The positive result in the 2014 accounts demonstrates that the Royal Court has employed good financial management practice through the fiscal year. The results are also a reflection of the modernisation and rationalisation processes that have been implemented. There is a need to free up additional resources for maintenance, renovation tasks and investments that have been put on hold due to financial constraints," says Lord Chamberlain Åge B. Grutle."
The annual report has as expected not created many headlines, compared to last year when the annual report for 2013 showed a deficit of NOK 6 701 468, which was to be covered by previous appropriations. It is good to note that the court again demonstrates good financial managament. I guess one could say that the lack of big headlines is a positive thing. And people should remember that the expenses to uphold the royal house and monarchy are seldomly a relevant argument in the debate about the form of government. A republic will in most instances not be a cheaper alternative.
As far as I know this is the 11th time the Royal Court has published an annual report, and what a thrill it is to read it. A great way of getting a survey of the activities and to reflect on the events of last year. The biggest event was of course the celebration of the the Norwegian Constitution's 200th anniversary. All in all the members of the royal family carried out 746 official engagements during 2014, a number which among others includes audiences, state visits and county visits. The royal diary shows that the King during 2014 attended 116 official events in Norway and abroad, while the number in 2013 was 94. The Crown Prince attended 117 events (down from 140 in 2013), while the Queen and the Crown Princess attended 78 and 68 events respectively (85 and 68 in 2013).
In my article of last year covering the annual report for 2013, I quoted the press release of 10 April 2014, which said: "During 2013, His Majesty The King attended 314 official events in Norway and abroad, while Her Majesty The Queen attended 98 official events, His Royal Highness The Crown Prince attended 200 official events and Her Royal Highness The Crown Princess attended 72 official events." Obviously one has to add the audiences, councils of state etc. in 2014 to get comparable numbers. I hope we will see higher numbers from the Crown Princess in the years to come.
Besides the royal diary and the accounts for the civil list the annual report also contains information about how the royal court is run, with details about among others The Treasurer's Office, The Communication Staff, The Royal Secretariat, the Department of Royal Estates and Culture and The Royal Household. One can also read about the royal trusts, health, safety and environment (HSE), royal orders and medals and finally various words and expressions are explained in a short dictionary.
From the annual report we learn that 25 persons received the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 2013, compared to 22 in 2013 and 27 in 2012. Among the recipients were Princess Marie of Denmark, President Toomas Hendrik Ilves of Estonia and President Joachim Gauck of Germany, who all received the Grand Cross and the Norwegian actress Lise Fjeldstad (Commander with star).
The Medal of St. Olav was awarded to two persons - the Canadian Russel and Alison Wiigs, who have done extensive work within the Norwegian and Scandinavian Community in Calgary for many years.
105 people received the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit, while there were 138 recipients of the King's Medal of Merit (down from 162 in 2013), among them the historian and author Johan Borgos. Finally The King's Commemorative Medal was awarded to 14 persons in 2014.

Norway: New Lord Chamberlain at the Royal Court
Photo: Sven Gj. Gjeruldsen, The Royal Court.
In the Council of State last Friday, 13 March 2015, the King formally appointed the Lord Chamberlain at the Royal Court, Åge Bernhard Grutle, as the new Norwegian Ambassador to Helsinki, Finland. Skrutle, b. 1952, has been in his post at the Royal Court frpom 2009. His starting date for taking over the new post as Ambassador has yet to be decided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In a press release the same day the Royal Court informed that the new Lord Chamberlain, to take office in the summer of 2015, will be the current head of the the Royal Secretariat, Chief of Staff Gry Mølleskog (b. 1962). She has been in that position since September 2012, but has also served as the Chief of Staff for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess from 2003 to 2006. Mølleskog, who comes from Bodø in the county of Nordland, has studied at the Norwegian Business School (Executive Master of Management) and has according to Linkedin an impressive CV with lots of business and leadership experience as well as many positions in various boards of directors. She has among others been Senior Vice President of SAS and Senior Client Partner in the international recruiting company Korn Ferry, where she was an consultant in recruiting and reorganisation processes for high ranking executives in larger businesses in Europe and the United States.
Mølleskog becomes the first female Lord Chamberlain at the Royal Norwegian Court and according to Nrk.no also the first female Lord Chamberlain among the European courts. Mølleskog has since 1983 been married to Thoralf Granerød, who is an associate partner at the consulting company First House (of which Per Høiby, Crown Princess Mette-Marit's brother, is the managing partner), and has one daughter.
In the same Council of State last Friday former communication director at the Royal Court, Astrid Versto, was appointed as the new Ambassador to Zagreb, Croatia. She is currently Head of Communications (development cooperation) at the MFA. Versto was at the Royal Court from 2005 to 2008.
(This blog article should of course have been posted last Friday, but as the deadline for submitting articles to Genealogen, the newsletter of the Norwegian Genealogical Society, expired on Sunday, I had to concentrate on finishing my contributions. But at least one of the articles, if accepted by the editior, will be royalty-related ...)

Equity Briefing: Travel stocks, Paychex and Carmax
Joshua Warner June 25, 2021 6:20 AM
Airlines and travel stocks are in focus this morning after the UK government expanded the number of countries on the green list for travel, Paychex is expected to report strong growth with results before the US bell today, while Carmax will follow after markets close.
Travel stocks
Travel stocks will be in focus today following the UK government's update to its restrictions on international travel late yesterday. This will bring airlines like easyJet, IAG, Ryanair and Wizz Air onto the radar today, as well as other stocks that rely heavily on tourism like InterContinental Hotels.
A total of 16 places have been added to the UK's green travel list from next Wednesday, including the Balearic Islands, Malta, a number of Caribbean islands and some British Overseas Territories like Bermuda.
The government confirmed it is planning to allow fully-vaccinated people to travel to amber list countries without the need to quarantine in the future, but said it would take place in phases.
Although the addition of popular holiday hotspots like Ibiza and Majorca will be welcomed by the industry, it is not enough to turn around its fortunes. British Airways warned the sector could not afford 'another missed summer' while easyJet said the timetable 'simply isn't ambitious enough'.
Plus, while the UK may be eager to ease travel rules when it can, other nations don't share the same attitude. German chancellor Angela Merkel has argued Brits should have to quarantine on arrival in any European country, reminding us that international travel is a two-way street.
Paychex will release fourth-quarter and full-year results covering the periods to the end of May before US markets open later today.
The company, which provides a variety of HR resources through its software such as payroll and insurance services, has focused more on adapting to the challenges posed by the pandemic and helping its customers over the last year.
Revenue and profits have suffered minor decreases but investors will hope recent operational improvements can start to translate to the financials as it enters the new financial year. Client retention is at an all-time high, demonstrating the strength of its product.
Analysts are expecting fourth-quarter revenue to rise to $980.5 million from $915.1 million the year before and for adjusted EPS to bump up to $0.67 from $0.61.
However, revenue and earnings are forecast to be lower over the full-year, with Wall Street anticipating the topline will dip to $4.00 billion from $4.04 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.97 versus $3.04 the year before.
Carmax
Carmax will be releasing first-quarter results covering the three months to the end of May before the NYSE opens today.
The company, which provides 'hassle-free' sales of used cars, saw revenue and earnings fall last year as the pandemic caused disruption for the business but things have improved as restrictions have eased, and consumers are flush with cash thanks to the latest round of stimulus cheques and tax refunds.
Although the company has started to bounce back and the outlook has improved since last year, investors will want to see evidence that things are looking good going forward as vaccines are rolled-out and life starts to return to normal.
Analysts are expecting a big jump in revenue and earnings compared to the previous year as it comes up against weak comparatives due to the first-quarter of 2020 being hit by the pandemic. Quarterly revenue is expected to almost double to $6.24 billion from $3.22 billion the year before, with EPS expected to come in at $1.66 compared to just $0.03.

Refusing to Let Our Kids Be Left Behind
Published on November 11th, 2020 in Fair Share Housing Development
By Kaitlyn DeVeydt, Education and Recreation Coordinator
Students throughout the Ethel R. Lawrence Homes community have been struggling with technology and remote learning since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly every day, the staff at the Margaret Donnelly O'Connor Education Center deal with spotty WiFi connections, Chromebooks or phones dying, and the difficulties of using one platform to connect with multiple students. The Education Center has loaned out Chromebooks and chargers, offered a place for free printing and scanning, and held virtual workshops to help parents and students better navigate their Google Classrooms.
But despite everyone's best efforts—including dedicated teachers who email and set aside time for extra Zoom calls, parents who are in constant communication with the Education Center staff, and students who show up to all their tutoring sessions—our children remain at risk of falling behind.
The story of 11-year-old Asir illustrates the challenges young people face today and what can be done to help.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Asir had been an excellent student. His teachers praised his focus, hard work, and insightful comments in class. But when Asir's school shifted to remote learning, things changed for this 6th grader. He was often absent from class, had stopped completing assignments, and was even in danger of failing.
Working with Asir's wonderful 6th grade teachers and his family, the staff at the Education Center investigated what was happening. It turns out this 11-year-old boy was struggling with the responsibility of keeping his own schedule alone at home, while his mom, an essential worker/CVS pharmacy supervisor, was at work. We set up a daily tutoring session, to help keep Asir on task, and soon his grades were back up to A's and B's.
"Homework club never let me give an excuse for missing work," Asir says.
Kaitlyn DeVeydt, Asir's primary tutor, praised her student's grit and talent. "Asir has made a complete 180. He is bright, imaginative and an excellent writer."
His teacher, Krista Wallace, said the Homework Club was integral to Asir's success. "The Margaret Donnelly O'Connor Education Center does a fantastic job in reaching out to the schools to build a partnership to assist students with their daily studies. They have been an asset in helping Asir stay on track with assignments both in and out of school."
Jasmine Craig, his mom, also expressed gratitude for the help. "Asir is amazing and very smart! He just needs that extra push sometimes. So thank you for being that extra push and keeping him on track. You took a load off my shoulders and I truly appreciate it."
Asir is living proof not only of the challenges students are facing, but also of the resiliency and strength that come from having extra support like the Homework Club.
Without the help of his family (particularly his wonderful mother), his teachers at Hartford, and the staff at the Education Center, Asir would've been climbing an upward battle alone. But that's the beauty of a place like Ethel R Lawrence Homes, even in the toughest of times, you are never truly alone. You have a community that's cheering for you, that believes in you and wants you to succeed.
Chantel Young, Associate Director of Education and Social Services, said it best: "The pandemic has forced us all to completely re-evaluate and re-build, but that's also when blessings come and the fun begins."

Top ChefSeason 9
"Fit For An Evil Queen"
With just seven dwarf-chefs remaining, Top Chef delivers an episode that has nothing to do with Texas, giving the chefs the freedom and inspiration to cook their asses off in this awesome episode.
QUICKFIRE
The chefs head back to San Antonio for the last few episodes before the finale. The charmingly accented Eric Ripert meets them in the kitchen to present a challenge that's destined to make little use of his palate. The challenge purports to be about "quick thinking," but the setup's slightly more confused. A rickety conveyor belt on a small loop dips into the kitchen, and runs for the duration of the 30-minute challenge. Chefs must choose three ingredients from the belt to be included in their dish, with the promise that the quality of the ingredients will increase as time goes on. With all of their scientific backgrounds, the chefs imagine the challenge to be structured like this:
They abandon the conveyor belt at the beginning of the challenge, setting up plates with ingredients from the pantry, expecting that when they return to the conveyor belt, the ingredients will have drastically changed. (They believe the optimal time to choose their ingredients would be at the intersection of those lines.) Really, though, the challenge is structured more like this,
with those spikes being the brief appearance of lobster. Poor Chris Jones. The conveyor belt's so short that by the time he sees his wished-for ingredient, it disappears, and the man behind the curtain yanks it from the belt. Twice. I like to imagine that it's Padma and Ripert behind the curtain, just messing with him because they can, and because he keeps calling them bastards.
Aside from the helter-skelter nature of this challenge and the lobster antics, which lend the challenge some interest, the rest of it's really muddled. The bad ingredients are really bad, and we've already seen the chefs work with saltines and corn chips this season. It's a slight upgrade since they have to mix those clunkers with better ingredients, but it leads to a roomful of food no one really wants to eat. The chefs are clearly embarrassed to be serving this stuff to Eric Ripert, and Ripert clearly wishes he were doing something else. Lindsay takes the win with a last-minute bouillabaisse, but knows her dish wasn't nearly as good as Beverly's. Bev was disqualified for running out of time and failing to plate her curried Rice Krispies. She could have had immunity. I wonder if that will come back to haunt her.
ELIMINATION CHALLENGE
Praise be! My Top Chef-related prayers have been answered, and tonight's elimination round put forward one of the finest challenges I've seen on this show. I've been complaining this season about how the narrow, team-focused challenges haven't allowed us to get to know the chefs' styles. Tonight's episode put me squarely in my place; it felt like a different show—or season—altogether. Promised a visit from the queen (Chris J: Queen of England? Queen Latifah?), the chefs freak out when Charlize Theron appears in the kitchen. Sarah so much so that she appears to be crying. She's there to publicize her new movie, in which she plays Evil Queen to an innocent Snow White. She challenges the chefs to prepare "a gothic feast fit for a queen," that's "wickedly beautiful." It should be indulgent, take risks, and should wipe out the competition.
It's a beautiful challenge for the chefs because it gives them a fantastical element that pushes them to be creative. It's inspiring but not restrictive. (Not in the way of, say, cooking vegan for Zooey Deschanel or having to kowtow to the strange likes and dislikes of housewives at a dinner party.) Charlize Theron will eat anything, including black chicken and lamb's heart.
The chefs seize on the concept and begin to imagine enchanted forests, witch's stews, forbidden rice, and, well, a chicken being slaughtered on the plate with an egg to represent the dead baby chicken that would never live a day. Grayson's brand of crazy really worked to her advantage during this challenge. The chefs produce amazing plates of food that leave the chefs with hardly a bad word to say about any of them. Edward starts things off with war-on-a-plate, dark and light sauces that meet in the middle at tuna tartare, topped with spiky, fried fish scales. Charlize really holds her own here and later at judge's table, picking up on the play between the garlic ponzu and Asian pear vinaigrette.
Paul follows with his enchanted forest, another good-and-bad mix of foie gras and bacon with pumpernickel, pickled cherries, and beets. He marks the plate with the bloody beet print, and the judges go wild for it, giving him the win and calling it beautiful and scary. Of all the dishes put out tonight, his was the only one that seemed a little hackneyed for me. I'm not sure if it was maybe the cameras that didn't do it justice, but I didn't think it was as "wickedly beautiful" as some of the other dishes, like Grayson's death-on-a-plate or Chris' split poison apple. Maybe it was those pickled jalapeños that set it over the edge.
Grayson, Sarah, and Beverly end up on the bottom as the judges are left to split hairs over whose slight mistake would send her home. This episode would have been a better candidate for the extra-15-minutes treatment, certainly over last weeks' Restaurant Wars—I'd have loved to see more of the debate that took place, if any. Heading into judge's table, the debate promised to be a little more nuanced than "your sauce was too sticky." Bev threw herself under the bus, though, by admitting to playing it safe with presentation, and she's sent packing. I was really rooting for her, and after her win last episode, was hoping to see her in the finale. May she be remembered by this amazing soliloquy:
"Snow white is the halibut and prevails in the midst of the evilness of the wicked witch, and the black heart from the forbidden black rice, and the bleedingness of the serial killer HAHA is the red curry sauce?"
- Lindsay really, really fell out of favor with me last week. I found myself actively rooting against her this week.
- Do you think Padma asked the typical reality-show-finale question of "Name… why do you deserve to win?" I can't tell if they prompted the chefs tonight to plead their case, or if Sarah did so first and the others followed suit.
- Did you say pheasant? More like peasant! Amirite, Charlize?

And don't expect too much, okay?
Bada ba bada ba bada bum bum.
General CommentIt kind of just reminds me of that blissful sort of hopelessness I feel during the summertime. Just kind of . . . overthinking things, then coming to find that I was going in the wrong direction, or I was simply dwelling on the unimportant.

cause the best and the worst might have passed anyway."

I love being from Wisconsin. Tanya Fischer
But the Wisconsin tradition meant more than a simple belief in the people. It also meant a faith in the application of intelligence and reason to the problems of society. It meant a deep conviction that the role of government was not to stumble along like a drunkard in the dark, but to light its way by the best torches of knowledge and understanding it could find. Adlai Stevenson

A Sinagoga Neologa (em romeno: Sinagoga Neologă ou Templul Memorial al Deportaţilor) de Cluj-Napoca, Romênia, é a única sinagoga em funcionamento na cidade atualmente, servindo à comunidade judaica local.
Localizada na Rua Horea, foi construída de acordo com os projetos de Izidor Hegner, um engenheiro, entre 1886 e 1887. Foi afetada seriamente pelos ataques da Guarda de Ferro em 13 de setembro de 1927, e teve de ser reconstruída posteriormente pelo governo romeno.

No período que se seguiu à Segunda Arbitragem de Viena, quando a Transilvânia do Norte se tornou parte da Hungria, a sinagoga testemunhou a deportação dos judeus para os campos de concentração nazistas, e foi novamente danificada, desta vez pelos bombardeios feitos pelos Aliados às estações ferroviárias vizinhas, em 2 de junho de 1944. Em 1951 foi reconstruída novamente.

Atualmente está dedicada à memória daqueles que deportados que foram vítimas do Holocausto.

A late-afternoon traffic jam on the way to your accommodation at Hunter River Retreat is more likely to be the local livestock.
The retreat is only 20 minutes from Maitland, and a long way from big-city hustle and bustle.
In addition to the cosy accommodation, you may even get the chance to see wildlife in Maitland such as echidnas, wallaroos, kangaroos and wallabies.

Where to eat and drink in Maitland… for couples
Much of the food and wine in Maitland is informed by the area's verdant surrounds and that's certainly for the best.
History is literally hidden in the walls of Boydell's Cellar Door & Restaurant in the main street of Morpeth, in the landmark 1820s slab that was home to a blacksmith, pie man and clairvoyant (though not at the same time).
The menu prioritises food that matches well with the wines produced at Daniel and Jane Maroulis's East Gresford vineyard, first established by Charles Boydell in 1826.
History is literally hidden in the walls of Boydell's Cellar Door & Restaurant.
Duke's Restaurant and Bar is another relative newcomer, opening its doors in historic Roseneath House in East Maitland in December 2020.
The cosy neighbourhood restaurant led by local chef Timothy Duke has a seasonal menu with dishes such as roast bone marrow with radish and eschalot salad and housemade ravioli with Warrigal greens.
The spotlight should also be on Maitland's newest hipster hang, Cult of the Scorpion, for quirky cocktails and its good vibes only ethos.
Continue your contemporary bar crawl to The Pourhouse nearby, which is primarily an alehouse but also part live music venue and eatery; it's where craft beer, classic cocktails and considered pub grub coexist in perfect harmony.
The Pourhouse is primarily an alehouse but also serves up live music and pub grub.
Maitland Taste, Maitland Aroma and Bitter & Twisted also draw local artisan food and drinks out into the open air at festivals.
Pubs, restaurants and cafés are scattered throughout the city so there's ample opportunity for you to zero in and eat local. For the sweet tooth, make sure to visit Donarch Fine Chocolate.

The clue to the history of the William Arnott Hotel is in its name: it's a nod to the Scottish founder of the iconic Australian biscuit manufacturer.
The accommodation is located on the site of the Historic Arnott Bakehouse, which was built in the 1830s. Fans of the Monte Carlo biscuit should stay in the Monte Carlo Penthouse, built in the late Victorian era.

Partake in A Sourdough Class with Stephen Arnott, founder of the Morpeth Sourdough bakery, in the original 1850s bakehouse where his ancestors toiled. It's the kind of homey do-it-yourself pleasure – of making and breaking bread with a local – that makes a short break in Maitland a must.
All that clean living and fresh air has got to be good for you.

Dr Matt Lamb backs Labour's new guarantee for patients to see a GP within 48 hours
Dr Matt Lamb, Labour Prospective Parliament Candidate for Wyre Forest, has revealed that local patients would be guaranteed an appointment with a GP within 48 hours under the next Labour government.
As part of Labour's plans to improve services for patients and ease pressure on local hospitals, Dr Lamb has backed Labour's new guarantee for patients to be able to see a GP within 48 hours or on the same day if they need to be seen quickly.
GP surgeries across the country will be given an extra £100 million a year to achieve this massive improvement in standards – enough to pay for an additional three million GP appointments every year. It will also ease the pressure across the NHS and could save millions of pounds by reducing the number of patients going to A&E departments.
At the same time that Labour unveiled its new guarantee for patients, new figures showed that the proportion of patients getting a GP appointment in 48 hours has fallen from 80 per cent under the last Labour government to just 40 per cent under David Cameron.
Dr Matt Lamb, Labour Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Wyre Forest said:
"Local patients are fed up of waiting for days before being seen by a local GP.
"Under the Tory-led Government a quarter of people now cannot get an appointment with a GP in the same week, adding to the pressure on A&E departments. This scandal can't continue.
"That's why I'm backing Labour's plan to raise standards, put patients first and guarantee them an appointment with a local GP within 48 hours or on the same day if they need to be seen quickly.
"People in Wyre Forest are fed up of David Cameron's broken promises to protect the NHS. It just goes to show that the Tories can't be trusted with our National Health Service."

savingthewild.com » Did the NPA sabotage the case of accused rhino kingpin?
Herewith an email response from Advocate Moipone Noko, the Director of Public Prosecutions for the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Province.
1. The new Prosecutors, who are senior public prosecutors have been allocated to this matter. This is for fair allocation of cases to other prosecutors.
2. It is not cost effective to have a prosecutor travelling from Durban to the north coast to deal with a case that can be dealt with by senior and experienced prosecutors within the cluster where the matters appears.
Advocate Gangai is arguably the most experienced environmental prosecutor in the province, and even more importantly, he understands the Gwala case, which is built on a complicated 252 operation.
By replacing Advocate Gangai, is the NPA sabotaging the case?
The NPA claiming that they want to suddenly be "cost effective" (at the risk of losing cases) is also questionable, as they have indicated that they would still like Advocate Gangai to prosecute other rhino poaching cases in Zululand – which would mean driving 2 to 3 hours to court, as he has done for years. And by attaching three local prosecutors to the case it puts on a good show, but it means triple the S&Ts, and so there is really almost zero cost savings.
And to add insult to irony, this entire case is built around the allegations that there is a ZULULAND syndicate of corrupt magistrates and prosecutors protecting rhino poachers and kingpins. In the Gwala case alone I have already exposed two magistrates and two defense attorneys.
3. Trial dates have been set for May.
Why was the application for the recusal of Magistrate Shandu not heard? Exactly who the DPP protecting? Is it Gwala? Is it Shandu? Or does it go higher up the chain to Nzimande?
Four trial dates in four different courthouses had recently been presented, with proposed trial dates to take place in November. All of these were turned down by KZN Regional Court President, Eric Nzimande, who is currently under investigation for allegations of corruption involving appointments of magistrates.
I was told through reliable sources that Deputy Minister Jeffery (who sits on the Magistrates Commission) is aware of the allegations of corruption, and very concerned as he has inside knowledge, and yet it appears he has allowed Nzimande to stall the trial for another six months; meaning from time of arrest to trial it would have been nearly three and a half years.
It is no secret that Gwala tells police that he will never stop killing rhinos, and yet if we are to honour our police and rangers we should honour them with justice.
Gwala's trial has now been postponed at least 17 times since February 2016, when I began attending court appearances and exposing the Gwala Syndicate. At the time of his arrest in December 2014, a spokesperson for the operation stated that Gwala is believed to be responsible for 80% of the rhino horns that go through the KwaZulu-Natal province. In this year alone, in the KZN province where rhino poaching is now totally out of control, we have lost more than 200 rhinos to poaching while Gwala is out on bail. By May next year, at a conservative rate of 20 murdered rhinos a month, that would amount to another 160 dead rhinos, and 80% of that figure is 128 dead rhinos.
128 rhinos, that might have been saved.
In a debate on the current status on the criminal justice system, Prof CT Msimang, IFP MP, raised the case of alleged rhino poaching kingpin Dumisani Gwala, and the slew of delays and allegations of corruption.
Now, without casting any aspersions, and being mindful of the sub judice agreement, I simply request that the Honourable Deputy Minister of Justice, John Jeffery, take a considered look into these proceedings.

The agency organizes all kinds of travel at home and abroad. Trips are organized in the form of ready-made programme packages or programmes according to specific requirements. As a SUBAGENT the agency also sells programmes of other tour operators in an intermediary, where the responsible programme organizer is indicated on every package. The package is considered agreed - concluded after signing the concluded travel arrangement or business cooperation contract when the contract is concluded for a group of passengers, or upon payment of the entire amount of the package price or part of the amount with the undisputed insurance payment of the balance.
By signing any such contract or payment of the full amount of the package price or a deposit, it is considered that the user understands the arrangement of the general terms and conditions of the contract and that he fully accepts them as the sole basis for the regulation of the mutual rights and obligations. The Traveller provides personal information voluntarily and they are required for processing the requested services. The Agency agrees not to disclose the personal information of passengers out of the country to a third party except for the purpose of carrying out requested services. An exception to providing to third parties is insurance companies to which the personal data will be forwarded if the traveller concludes a travel insurance policy. Travellers' personal data will be kept in the database of the Agency and can be used for the agency promotional activities.
Registrations for the trip are received at the travel Galaxy travel d.o.o. agency.
- When registering the customer pays 30% of the arrangement, and the remaining 70% of the amount is to be paid no later than 15 days prior to departure, except in cases when contractual terms of payment are specified or stipulated for some particular travels when the deadline to early travel is less than 15 days.
- For bookings on request, an advance is paid according to the price list of the organizers. The Agency will not accept reservation application on request without advance payment. If the traveller does not accept confirmed reservation that was made on his request, the agency will keep the advance money to cover the cost of the reservation.
- In the case of a paid and confirmed travel arrangement (package), every change of travel date and/or participant will be paid according to the price list and the rules of the company. In the case of booking of the programme organized by other, domestic or foreign travel agencies, 'Instructions and Conditions' of the travel organizer.
The content of the travel package defines the price of the package, or correspondingly the price includes everything the tour organizer (the agency) stated in the travel programme. Additional services are not included in the price and therefore the traveller pays them separately. These additional services should be requested when registering and shall be added to the package price. Additional/optional and special services requested during the travel are to be paid directly to the tourist guide (or representative) of the company during the tour and in the local currency of the country where the service is provided. Package prices are published in HRK (Croatian Kuna), and calculated according to the prices of services in the reference currency on base of the selling rate of the tour organizer's commercial bank on a given day. In the case of exchange rate variations by more than 2%, Galaxy Travel reserves the right to change prices. The organizer reserves the right to change the prices in case of modifications in the price of accommodation, food, transport and other services, i.e. in the case of change in the value of the currencies that are the basis for calculating the arrangement price. The consent of the customer is not required to increase the package price up to 10% (the increase is calculated on all parts of the payment). In the case of a price increase of more than 10%, the buyer has the right to cancel the travel without obligation of reparation.
Offered accommodation facilities, restaurants, means of transport, etc. are described by the official categorization at the time of the programme issue. Standards of accommodation, food, services, etc., of places and countries, are different and not comparable. Information provided to the traveller at the point of sale or does not oblige the organizer larger than the information issued in the travel programme.
If the user of the travel arrangement (or Package) has not specifically requested so, i.e. if additional payment is necessary, or if he has paid additionally for a special category or form of transport and accommodation, he will accept any officially registered room for rent in the premises, or any place in a vehicle, which is operated during the implementation of the travel arrangement.
The tour operator has the right to change the programme if exceptional circumstances that cannot be predicted, avoided, or removed (see article 1). occur. Arranged accommodation can be replaced only by accommodation in a facility of the same or higher category, at the expense of the service provider.
The traveller that applies for a travel abroad must have valid identity documents. If the trip requires a visa for entry to a particular country, the agency will inform passengers about the documents required to obtain a visa. Travellers collect the necessary documentation and submit it to the competent embassy. The organizer shall issue a certificate about the reservation made by the traveller who attaches it to the other documentation. The organizer (Agency) does not guarantee the obtainment and the validity of the visa.
1. The Organizer shall reserve the right to terminate the package travel contract prior to the start of the package arrangement if the Organizer was prevented in the execution of the contract by unavoidable circumstances and if they inform the passenger on contract termination without unnecessary delay prior to the start of the package arrangement.
- 48 hours prior to the start of the package arrangement, if the travel lasts less than 2 days.
3. In the event of contract termination for reasons stated under items 1 and 2, the Organizer shall refund the passenger in full for all payments made for the package arrangement, without any compensation for damages to the passenger, no later than 14 days from the date of contract termination.
If a customer anticipates during the booking process that he may have to cancel the trip for some reason, we recommend the booking of a cancellation insurance. Cancellation insurance policies cannot be paid afterwards, only during registration for the journey. In case of cancellation, the visa application costs are non-refundable even in the event that the traveller has a cancellation insurance. By paying a cancellation insurance, the traveller files all claims with the insurance company whose insurance policy against cancellation he possesses, and Galaxy travel d.o.o. is obligated to provide all necessary documentation for the passengers to claim damages from the insurance company, which refer to the arrangement. All termination conditions are stated in the insurance policy and the Agency recommends that travellers read them personally.
The cancellation of the entire group in order to change the destination or replace the tour organizer prevents the right of return of any part of the payment to the arrangements users.
If the passenger cancels the arrangement, the above cancellation charges are applied. Refunds to the arrangement user shall be performed only with the return of the original payment receipt to the Agency, and by signing the receipt of return.
The organizer is obliged to ensure that the service are performed and selection of employees is done with a care of a good organizer, to take care of travellers' rights and interests in accordance with good practices in tourism. Organizer is obliged to issue the appropriate documents for the paid travel. The organizer will not be responsible in case of changes and default services caused by force majeure (article 1), and due to delays in transportation, where the carrier does not correspond to the applicable regulations and international conventions. In such cases, the traveller is responsible for all additional costs without the right to a refund of the costs by the Agency.
- to have valid travel documents (identity documents). The cost of loss or theft of personal documents is covered by a passenger. Associate or representative of the organizer will assist the traveller in the above situation, provided that the travel programme goes unhindered.
- to be vaccinated and have confirmation and documentation of vaccination for travelling to the country for which it is required under the regulations of the 'World Health Organization'. In this case, the traveller attaches the medical certificate. Lack of such documents and / or irregularity of personal travel documents that lead to withdrawal from the travel or inability to travel do not oblige the travel organizer and cancellation expenses stated in article 8 of the General Conditions of travel and organization of travel arrangements are calculated.
- to present a document on paid arrangement (voucher) at departure on travel to associate or representative of the organizers at the time of departure; this paragraph applies only to organized group travel. In the case of non-compliance with some of these obligations, the traveller is responsible to the tour operator for damages.
Luggage is transported at travellers' risk, therefore it is recommended to insure the luggage with an insurance company. The tour operator is not responsible for damaged or lost luggage nor for the theft of luggage or valuables in the hotel (safe rent recommended). In the case of damaged or lost luggage, he addresses the transporter, airline, or the reception of the accommodation object, depending where the damage or loss occurred.
Pursuant to the provision of services in Tourism, agency employees are obliged to offer travel insurance 'package' which consists of voluntary health insurance during their stay abroad, insurance against accidents, baggage insurance, and cancellation insurance. By signing the contract, the customer confirms that he was offered a package of travel insurance. If a passenger requires the above mentioned insurances, they can be arranged directly with the insurance company or through the Galaxy travel d.o.o., while the Galaxy travel d.o.o. acts only as an intermediary. By signing the travel contract, the above-mentioned insurances shall be deemed to have been offered and recommended to the travellers.
TRAVEL INSURANCE CANNOT be arranged SUBSEQUENTLY!
In case of loss or damage / destruction of luggage during transport of the same in the official means of transport to enable the arrangement, claims in terms of compensation shall be sent to the Carrier only. In the case of theft - the disappearance of luggage from accommodation facilities in which the arrangement is implemented, the arrangement user achieves his receivables from the owners of accommodation. As an exception in the case when the user concluded baggage travel insurance through the Agency, the Agency shall provide in terms of damages over the Insurer while the only discretion right of the Insurer is to admit or remove the right to compensation, depending on the circumstances established.
In some programmes, specific rules are listed for the travels that include mandatory vaccination and procurement of relevant documents. The traveller is required to make the mandatory vaccination as well as to have the certificates and documents about it.
LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY NUMBER 1500 -173930631 valid until 27.01.2020.
In case of activating insurance, you are obliged besides presenting the Agreement concluded on a package tour or other form of contract on business cooperation, as well as mandatory and genuine copies of receipts for payments to the Agency, contact ALLIANZ ZAGREB D.D. as soon as possible in order to collect your receivables.

Founded in February 2017, the Irish and Northern Irish society is a new but quickly expanding society within the University of Glasgow. The focus of GUINIS is to bring together not only those of Irish/Northern Irish descent, but also to include those who are interested and willing to learn and celebrate the culture which many of the students across the university have grown up knowing and wish to continue celebrating even when they're not home. The society is a place to expand your social circle, develop new friendships and get a feel of what it's like to live in Ireland through the people, music, cuisine and such without being there!


Stonecrop is the common name for many succulents in the crassulaceae family. This is because gardeners joke That they only need a tiny bit more attention than actual stones.
These plants are the definition of hardy (except some varieties can't take the cold). Most, however, are drought tolerant, they can live in poor soil and just when you think they've died, one leaf can bring them back to life.
Stonecrops are flowering succulents that vary from mat-forming ground cover to small shrubs. Many household varieties fall into either the sedum or crassula genus, in which there are more than 450 and 1480 respective species.
Stonecrop flowers usually have 5 petals, rarely 4 or 6. Sedums grow mainly in the northern hemisphere, although some species do exist in Peru. Crassula plants are native to many regions of the world, but a large majority of the cultivated varieties we see today are particular to southern Africa. This includes the popular jade plant, also known as the money tree.
To see how we cast these succulents to make silver and gold jewelry, see this article on, Making Plant Jewelry From Succulents, Branches, and Other Botanical Bits.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
1. Student activity in tutorials. The student is required to prepare himself for the seminars in accordance with the time schedule published on the BUT e-learning. Teachers individually discuss solution process with each student during seminars and make assessment of the student work in each seminar (ie. preparedness to discussion, accomplishment of the project key checkpoints, etc.). The assessment score shall be counted in the overall score from seminars.
2. Elaboration and submission of semestral project on schedule set by the teacher. The complete project consists of: a) calculation report, b) assembly drawing c) drawing documentation of machine parts selected by teacher. Overall quality of submitted outcomes is subject of assessment.
Final exam requirements: Multiple-choice test is performed on the computer and it utilizes the examination system of the Institute of Mechanical and Industrial Design. The test topics cover the problems mentioned in lectures and tutorials. Minimum score for passing the test is 30 out of 60 possible points. First part of the test consists of twelve theoretical questions, scores 1 point each. Second part of the test consists of twelve computational questions, scores 4 points each. The student has to pass the first (theoretical) part of the test to qualify himself to the second (computational) part. Each part of the final test is considered passed whether at least half of the questions are answered correctly. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. An incorrect answer does not mean negative point. A student card, pen and calculator are demanded to access the test room. The original print of the "Mechanical engineering design" textbook is allowed for the second part (computational) of the final test. Use of any other literature during the test is not allowed. The student which does not obtain the course credit is not allowed to attend the final exam.
The final score of the whole course consists of the total number of points earned from semestral project and multiple-choice test. The minimum required score is 50 points out of the maximum 100 points. The final score determines the grade according to ECTS.
Attendance at lectures is recommended. Provided lectures are based on Mechanical engineering design textbook which is basic material for study and preparation to final exam. The lectures refers to the specific pages in the textbook that are related to the discussed topics and are accompanied by information on the current state of knowledge. Lectures are available as the electronic previews in the Moodle system.

Q: c++ operator<< member of class I have a problem with the << operator in C++. I need this operation work:
  cout << comp2 << comp1;

class Compo
{
    string name;
    int power;
    string app;

public:
    Compo(string s, string a, int p):name(s), power(p),app(a){};
    //~Compo();

     string GetAsString()const{
        ostringstream oss;
        oss << name << " [ " << power << " ] desc: " << app << endl;
        return oss.str();
    };

     string &operator<<(Compo& aux)const{
        return aux.GetAsString();
    };
};

void main()
{
    Compo comp1("Pencil","Best",12);
    Compo comp2("Notes","Not Best",22);
    cout << comp2 << comp1;
    cin.get();
}

i have erro on cout << comp2
the error description is,

error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand
  operand of type 'Compo' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

and one warn alert,

returning address of local variable or temporary

ho i need change to this works.

A: You'll need to declare a standalone output operator method to do this (class free function).
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const Compo& obj)
{
    obj.put(os);
    return os;
}

In class Compo have:
// ...
public:
    void put(std::ostream& os) const
    {
        // output member values here ...
    }
// ...

UPDATE:
Or alternatively (if you can't change Comp actually):
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const Compo& obj)
{
    os << obj.GetAsString();
    return os;
}

IMHO the 1st solution I've proposed here is the more flexible one, for fulfilling future requirements in the end. It might be used with implementations for std::ostream that don't handle stringyfied formats.

A: The compiler can't find any operator<< which takes as a left argument std::ostream and as right argument Compo. You defined one which takes as a left argument a std::string and as the right argument Compo.
Try:
class Compo{
//Stuff
public:
    friend ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, Compo& aux);
};
ostream& operator<<(ostream& o, const Compo& aux)
{
    o << name << " [ " << power << " ] desc: " << app << endl;
    return o;
}

A: You need something like this operator:
ostream& operator << (ostream& o, const Compo& c)
{
   return o << c.GetAsString();
}

A: #include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class Compo
{
    string name;
    int power;
    string app;

public:
    friend ostream& operator<< (ostream&, const Compo&);
     ....
     .....

};

ostream& operator<< (ostream& out, const Compo& c)
{
   out << c.name << "[" << c.power << " ] desc: " << c.app << endl;
}

Rich People Have Access To High-Speed Internet; Many Poor People Don't
By Allan Holmes, Eleanor Bell Fox, Ben Wieder and Chris Zubak-Skees, Center for Public Integrity
"An investigation by the Center for Public Integrity found that even though Internet access has improved in recent years, families in poor areas are almost five times more likely not to have access to high-speed broadband than the most affluent American households. That means no access to online jobs, and no access to health care advice, education, government services and banking — everything needed to be a full participant in today's society. This harsh reality has led to a new kind of segregation. 'Internet access," says James Lane, superintendent of Goochland County Public Schools, "is the civil rights issue of our time.'"
